Chapter 8 - Stolen
At midnight the senshi and saiyans all gathered in the courtyard of the Temple
with the mothers watching on and raised their glasses as they stood in a
circle.
"To Minako and Goten," Mako said winking at the two and exchanged glances and grinned.
"To Rei and Trunks," Usagi added her thoughts and Rei nudged her fiancée who nudged her back and Rei jerked her head towards Mamoru and Usagi. Trunks just didn't seem to get it though as he stared blankly at her.
"To Ami and Uwara!"
"To Makoto!"
"To Goku and Vegeta!"
"To our mom's!"
"To Mamoru and Usagi," Rei voiced her opinion and Goten rolled his eyes as this was threatening to end up going on all night.
"To us!" Goten said ending the whole charade and everyone giggled as they raised their glasses to their lips and drunk to their good health.
Suddenly a pink and blue light came floating towards them from the sky followed closely behind by a pure white light. Inside of each of the lights was a figure and as they came closer each of the senshi and saiyans could clearly make them out. In the pink light was a teenage girl, black hair and black eyes that gazed upon them with obvious distaste, she obviously didn't want to be there. In the blue light was a handsome young man, with black hair and clear blue eyes, he looked pitying at all of them his gaze coming to rest of Mamoru. The last light held the most beautiful child any of those on the ground had ever seen. Strange silver eyes that seemed to pierce right into one's soul and shimmering silver hair that hung in ringlets to her waist. As they neared she smiled pleasantly.
"We have come to finish off our mission, " the Silver Child said in a childish voice and Rei immediately took a stand in front of Usagi and Mamoru as did all the others. Vegeta and Goku pushed Chichi and Bulma into the temple with Grandpa as they watched on from the sidelines, wanting to let the others handle the situation.
"What are you talking about?" Rei asked seemingly innocently and the Silver Child narrowed her eyes at Rei while the young man and woman flew closer to them circling each other.
"Don't play dumb Rei, or should I say Sailor Mars," the Silver Child said and Rei took an involuntary step backwards at her words.
"How do you know.?" Rei asked in disbelief but the Silver Child ignored her as her gaze came to rest on Mamoru and Usagi.
"All we want is your greatest treasure," the Silver Child said and the boy flew faster than the speed of light to stop above Usagi and reaching into a tiny black bag around his neck he sprinkled blue dust over Usagi who sneezed as her eyes began to water. The senshi turned to her alarmed and moved to surround her while Minako shook her fist at the Silver Child.
"We will never give Sailor Moon to you," she swore adamantly and the Silver Child chuckled and the girl in pink laughed as well.
"Sailor Moon? We don't want her," the Silver Child informed them still chuckling.
"Who do you want then?" Ami asked in wonder and the Silver Child vanished in thin air only to appear in front of Mamoru who tired to move away from her but the girl in pink appeared behind him and shoved him into the Silver Child.
"Him, he is the one," she said pressing her palm against Mamoru's head and Mamoru collapsed just as the Silver Child disappeared with him leaving a portal in her wake. This left only the young man and woman behind. Usagi gave a cry of desperation as Mamoru disappeared and the young man pursed his lips, he could almost feel her pain. The young man looked uncomfortable and the young woman tugged on his arm.
"Let's leave this place Kroyan, she has what she wants," Anya said not knowing why her brother would hesitate to leave. These people were pathetic.
"Anya, it isn't right," Kroyan looked on the distraught face of Usagi. This Mamoru, he had so many who loved him, it wasn't right that they took him from these people. Never before had he questioned his saviour but this day he felt something different. There was something about the way Usagi looked, her crestfallen expression, the look of complete and utter loss in her eyes struck him.
"Why do you care?" Anya asked
following his gaze to Usagi and staring at her unfeelingly. "I don't
know," Kroyan replied his gaze wandering to Makoto before he sighed and
disappeared with Anya following after him.
Usagi finally came to grips with what had just happened and fell to her knees in desperation.
"No, oh God no not again, I can't lose him again," Usagi started sobbing her whole body shaking with heart wrenching sobs and the four girls fell to their knees around her.
"Usagi," Rei said placing an arm around Usagi's shoulders and Usagi looked up with determination.
"We have to go get him," she said getting to her feet then she swayed and would have fallen to the ground if Mako hadn't caught her.
"Usagi look at you, you are in no state to battle, let Minako and I handle this," Rei pleaded and Ami looked furious at the implication.
"What about us Rei? You can't just leave us behind, friends forever, wherever you go we go, the sailor senshi!" Ami reminded her and Rei shook her head.
"Usagi needs the both of you right now, Minako and I will go and find my brother you stay here with Usagi," Rei started to argue and Mako seemed to agree with what Ami was saying. It wasn't fair that Minako and Rei could just leave them behind, they were a team.
"No way, Luna will look after her, we are a team and above that we are friends, just because you learnt some fancy new ricks doesn't mean that Ami and I are useless," Mako said firmly and Rei's resistance wavered as she felt a little embarrassed at the bossy way she had been acting. She was being selfish and she knew it.
"Mako's right, we can't just let you go on without us," Ami said and Rei smiled briefly.
"All right then, let's go," Rei said pulling out her transformation pen and Mako set Usagi on her feet again so they could all transform.
"I'm coming," Usagi said firmly and Rei didn't even start arguing with her, judging by the stubborn tilt of Usagi's jaw Rei knew she didn't have a chance of wining. Once they were in costume Rei made as though she was going to walk through the porthole that had been left behind by the kidnappers but Ami pulled her back.
"Wait Rei, it is most certainly a trap, why else would she leave the portal open for us?" Ami said pressing her earring so her visor appeared and pulling out her computer she began to type furiously.
"Because she knows we are going to beat her," Vegeta said cockily holding his head high and Minako and Trunks shared a glance with each other embarrassed that he was their father while Bulma rolled her eyes having heard his conceited comment from inside the temple.
"I don't think so, let me check it out," Ami said not intimidated by Vegeta at all and Rei held Vegeta back as he looked like he was about to explode. Rei had a connection with her father-in-law and if anyone dared hold him back it was her.
"Well?" Vegeta impatiently asked and Ami looked up bewildered.
"Nothing," Ami said confirming and Vegeta grinned stubbornly at her.
"You see? I told you," he gloated pushing past Rei to go through the portal with Goten and Trunks hot on his heels. Gohan came out of the temple but Goku held him back.
"If we don't beat whatever this is, we need you here to protect our families," Goku said then gestured his son close so only he would hear his next words, "plus the others have been slacking off on their training, this will teach them a lesson."
Gohan chuckled and gave his father the thumbs up signal knowing his father had never been wrong about anything. Goku then went through the portal and as the senshi moved to follow him Usagi swayed on her feet again yawning widely.
"Usagi are you all right?" Minako turned to ask and Usagi sank to the ground still yawning.
"Yes, I just feel so tired, that boy he sprinkled something on me, I don't know what it was but my body feels numb," Usagi explained lying down and Chichi came forward to cuddle Usagi in her arms, she was going to be her future daughter-in-law after all.
"Can you still come?" Mako asked and Usagi tried to sit up but failed miserably.
"I don't think so, I can't move, go on without me, bring Mamo-chan back," Usagi said reaching out to grip Rei's hand as she came to kneel beside her and Rei smiled briefly as Minako came to her other side with Ami and Mako watching over them. The saiyans had already gone through not bothering to wait for the senshi, too excited about a battle. It had been a long time for them and they were all itching to start.
"It'll be all right, we'll be back before you know it," Rei assured her confidently and Usagi closed her eyes as though she were in great pain.
"Why does everything bad happen to me and Mamoru? Either he gets kidnapped or I do, it is always the same, the enemy will brainwash us and then try to make either of us fall in love with them," Usagi said slowly and Minako scratched her head not believing Usagi's scenario to be true.
"I know, but something is different this time, I don't think that girl wants to brainwash Mamoru because she is in love with him, there is something else I'm missing," Minako pondered and Ami nodded agreeing with Minako. They stood up reluctantly leaving Usagi with Chichi.
"Hurry back guys," Usagi called out weakly from the ground lifting a hand before it dropped to the side as Usagi lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep. Ami and Mako looked worried.
"Usagi!" they cried out simultaneously but Minako and Rei held them back leading them to the portal.
"Don't worry she is just sleeping," Chichi called out and Mako and Ami looked slightly comforted and Mako looked at Rei and smiled.
"Come on lets go get our future King
back," Mako said pulling the others through the portal.
When the senshi made their way through the portal they saw the saiyans just standing there.
"What's going on?" Rei said pushing her way to the front and was shocked on seeing the amount of statues of little boys before them. It was unending. In the middle of the statues was an unconscious Mamoru and above him floated the Silver Child and Anya and Kroyan were on either side of her.
"I have allowed you to follow me to bare witness to a great event, my rise to absolute power, I have travelled the galaxy searching for the treasures of all the moon's, at last I have found the last treasure that will complete my final evolution," the Silver Child announced looking over at the senshi and saiyans making them aware she knew of their presence.
"This is really sick, look at all these statues, they were once living breathing boys," Goten muttered to the others moving to inspect one of the statues placing his hand on the state's forehead.
"They have been here a long time too, look at the amount of mould," Ami said moving to inspect another statue and Mako rolled her eyes.
"Ami, we are not here for a biology lesson," Mako said and Ami took out her computer and started to analyse the statue.
"My God," Ami breathed taking a step back her mouth open in horror and Trunks looked over at her.
"What?" he asked and Ami looked at him seriously.
"They are still alive, they have been all this time," Ami revealed and everyone looked horrified. Even Vegeta seemed shocked by the revelation.
"The lover of the Princess of the Moon, he shall be my greatest trophy," the silver child leant towards Mamoru's lips and sucked in deeply. Everyone watched in horror as they saw what could only be explained as his life essence out of his mouth. As they watched the Silver Child grew older and older while Mamoru grew younger and younger.
"No Mamo-chan!" Rei screamed in horror running forward but she ran right into an invisible barrier and was thrown backwards, luckily Trunks flew up behind her and caught her putting her gently back on Earth.
"Okay so we can't get in that way," Vegeta muttered sarcastically and Rei threw him a filthy look that he returned with a smirk.
"This may not be the right time to mention this, but does anyone else think its weird that she sucks the life out of people to look older?" Goten whispered his point of view and both Minako and Rei turned and gave him an exasperated look.
"Goten honestly," Minako shook her head at him, disappointed by his lack of sensitivity. His own brother was getting the life sucked out of him and Goten could only think of stupid things to say.
"I think its weird son," Goku whispered loudly to his son and this time it was Rei to shake her head at her father considering his comment totally tasteless.
"Dad!" "But I do," Goku protested and Rei nudged him with a wink.
"Shh." she said and Goku was silent again looking towards his son not at all worried about what was befalling him.
