*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Raye glances over at Serena & notices that she's smirking while looking at Rini. Rini's cheeks slowly become a red color & her eyelids become heavy.

Amy walks over & places her hand across Rini's forehead, "She's running a fever...."

Amy keeps her hand on Rini's forehead & suddenly her eyes widen, "It's still rising!"

Everyone's eyes widen except for Serena's.

Rini suddenly collapses & Peruru catches her, "Rini...."

Serena laughs evilly & everyone looks at her, "The little troublemaker will be mine this time! None of you scouts can save her, not even you, Peruru!"

A figure emerges out of Serena's back in a ghost-like appearance. Serena's eyes close & she falls to the floor. The figure slowly becomes more realistic & glares at them.

Peruru's eyes widen to their extent & he trembles, "Badiyanu??? But how????"

Badiyanu closes her eyes & laughs.

She opens her eyes again & glares at the scouts, "I was not fully destroyed in the last battle. Over time, I healed & became even stronger! I shall get revenge, so I'll be taking that brat you have there & this pitiful host that I fooled you with."

She holds out her hand facing Rini & Rini levitates off of the floor.

Peruru jumps up & watches through wide eyes, "No... RINI!!!"

He suddenly glares at Badiyanu sharply & clenches both his teeth & his fists tightly.

"Badiyanu!!!!" he seethes.

Badiyanu laughs cruelly & Rini floats over by her. She holds out her other hand & Serena floats up in the air. Badiyanu flies upward along with Rini & Serena.

Peruru flies up towards her with his hand stretched out, "Get back here!"

Everyone glares up at Badiyanu too scared to do anything incase they might hurt Serena or Rini. Badiyanu disappears through the ceiling along with Rini & Serena laughing.

Peruru hovers just below the ceiling & stares at where they just disappeared. "Rini...."

His eyes slowly well up with tears from frustration & despair. Peruru closes his eyes & thinks back to last time Badiyanu kidnapped Rini.

~That time, I knew where Badiyanu took Rini, but this time....~

Warm tears roll down his cheeks & he slowly descends to face the scouts. All of the scouts' faces are hidden as he lands. He looks at them silently for a moment as they stare at the ground without a word.

He falls to his hands & knees sobbing, "It's all my fault! Badiyanu wouldn't have come if I weren't here! And I couldn't do anything to stop her!"

His wings droop down while sobbing to where the tips touch the floor.

Diana walks over to him & looks up at his tearstained face, "Peruru, don't cry! It's not your fault, she would've come anyway!"

Luna & Artemis walk around talking to each of the scouts, encouraging them.

Peruru looks down at Diana, but he stills feel guilty & continues crying.

Diana rubs up against his arm, "Come on Peruru, you have to be strong! Rini & Serena need you...."

He stops & stares at Diana with his mouth open a little. He gets up on his knees & picks up Diana. He closes his eyes, cuddles with Diana against his chest & thinks about where Badiyanu could've taken them.

~Where could she have gone?~

He continues thinking & his eyes open wide when he gets an idea.

He looks over at the scouts, "I know how I can find Badiyanu...."

They perk up & pull out their transformation wands. All of the scouts transform & walk over by Peruru.

He sets Diana down on the ground & stands up, "I learned something useful while back in the dream world. Watch...."

He holds out his hands & focuses his power. A transparent, white, aura surrounds his hands & his body tenses. A portal appears in the middle of the room & the scouts stare at it bewildered.

His hands fall to his side & he looks at the scouts exhausted, "It should lead us to Badiyanu. I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier...."

He walks towards the portal, stops in front of it, and looks back at the scouts, "It's safe, follow me...."

He walks through & the scouts follow reluctantly. They appear outside of an eerie stone tower that touches the dark sky. Storm clouds hover overhead & thunder rumbles. The wind picks up & blows against them causing their hair to rustle.

They walk up to the castle as a group & hear a thud. Fire shoots out of one of the sides creating a hole. They look up & see Serena fall out of the flames looking burnt & beaten up in her Sailor Moon form. She falls towards the ground & the scouts scream. Peruru flies up & catches her before she would've hit the ground. He flies back down with her & lies her down on the ground gently. Badiyanu appears on the top of the tower & smiles down at them coldly.

Peruru jumps up & glares at her, "Where's Rini????"
