*Chapter 6*

~Serena~

Serena laid Jupiter down and stood up. She opened her communicator. "Venus, come in. Moon here." "What's up Moon? You sound stressed." "Another scout down. Leave Mercury for a while and come get Jupiter. Stay with them. Might as well open a scout hospital. Star ran off with a kitten." Moon explained. "A kitten? So what?" "Uranus and Neptune think the kittens are behind this. Keep an eye out for Mandy ok?" "Got it Moon. On our way!" Serena hung up. "Ok. We have to find Star and Mars." Moon told her group. She sighed. "If we had Mercury she could find her easily." "Or Jupiter. She would know all of Mandy's hiding spots." said Chibi looking down. A single tear rolled down her cheek and onto Jupiter's face. Jupiter cried out. "Stay away Tigress!" "Oh my god! Tigress?" exclaimed Sailor Moon. "She must be behind this! And she probably has Mars!" Neptune cried. "But how did Jupiter know?" asked Chibi. "Her spirit must be at Tigress' fortress. And the other scouts as well." Uranus said. Venus and Saturn ran up. Serena explained what they had learned. Venus shook her head as she and Saturn picked up Jupiter. "Well, be careful." Venus said as they left. Serena turned around. "Ok, we'd better spilt up. Let's go!" Chibi followed her mother out of the alley.

Serena walked along the sidewalk, Chibi following behind her. A tear escaped her eyes and fell to the floor. Luna jumped in surprise. "Are you ok Serena?" she asked. Serena looked down at her, letting the tears fall. "No.. I can't bear to think about poor Raye, and Ami… and…" Serena fell into a heap. "Mama!" cried Rini. Rini kneeled down beside her. "Oh Mama, are you ok? "I failed them! I failed all my friends! And poor Mandy, she's new to all this and already she has an enemy!"

~Mystic~

"Manby, are you ok?" asked Mystic. Star covered his mouth quickly. "You can't call me by my real name when I'm in Sailor Form… ok?" Mystic nodded and stretched. He was relaxing on Star's shoulder. "We have to prove you innocent Mystic. I can't let them take you." Star ran down an alley and sat to rest. "Manby.. Uranus was right… it is us…" whimpered Mystic. Mandy stared at him. "No, I don't believe you!" Mystic looked up at her. "It true… you see… we was created to bring the Sailor Scouts to our master… and someone else was gonna help… our uncle… and so we did get three of the scouts.. And they are comin…." Mystic was cut off by a growl. Mandy jumped up, Mystic on her shoulder. A cat daimon emerged from Mystic. "Ahhh!" cried Star backing up. "wh…who are you?!?" she cried. "I am Catteri, the Sailor snatching Daimon!" Catteri jumped on top of Star, knocking her to the floor and pinning her. Star strugged to free herself. "Don't worry, you'll be joining your friends now." said Catteri, breathing a gray mist into Star's face. Star's eyelids fluttered. "Manby, no!" cried Mystic. He jumped onto Mandy's face, shielding her from the mist. Mystic scratched Catteri on the face. "You fool!" Catteri cried, jumping up. "I'll be back!" she cried, leaving the alley. Star jumped up. "I must follow her! She can lead me to Jupiter! But, I'm too weak…." Star thought for a second, then concentrated. "Star Tracker!" she cried. A star emerged from her tiara and she grabbed it and threw it onto the Daimon's back as she fled. Star clasped in exhaustion. Mystic ran to the end of the alley and saw Sailor Moon, Luna and Chibi Moon heading toward them. Mystic waved his kitty arms. "Isn't that Mandy's cat?" asked Luna. Serena squinted and perked up. "Yes! That's Mystic! But.. Where's Mandy?" Serena ran to Mystic and grabbed him up. "Where is…..Oh my god!" Serena dropped Mystic and ran to Star's side and kneeled down. "Mandy!" she cried. Chibi Moon picked up Mystic. "What did you do to her you mean ole cat?" she cried. "I.. I didn't do it! It was a daimon!" "A daimon? Where from?" asked Luna. "From my body…" Mystic admitted. Sailor Moon turned to Mystic, tears rolling down her face. "You did it!?!?" she yelled. "No.. yes.. No!! It was the daimon! I told Mandy something and the daimon popped out!" Mystic meowed. Star opened her eyes. "He didn't do it!" she cried. "Sailor Star!" they all cried. Star sat up. "He's innocent!"

~Michelle~

At that moment, the remaining scouts ran up. "Sailor Star! Are you ok?" cried Saturn running to her. "I'm fine, but we have to catch that daimon!" Star said. "But it's gone." Neptune said gently. "Nope… Mandy made an attack up and it has a pretty star sticker on it's back now." said Mystic proudly. "What??" they cried. "What is he talking about?" Uranus demanded. Star sat up. "I um, somehow created a tracking attack." Luna jumped onto Star's stomach. "That's very possible. Even your sister has created attacks before." she purred. "Now we have to follow that Daimon!" said Sailor Moon. They all nodded and said, "Right." Star concentrated and said, "Show me Catteri." A hologram appeared on the wall, shining from Star's tiara gem. "She's at Serena's house!" cried Saturn. "Oh no!" cried Star. They all looked at each other. "VENUS!"
