"Alright. Now where's Ayeka?" Serena asked herself then soon enough other figures appeared. The G-boys, Starlights, Mina, and Amy appeared.

Mina yawned and complained. "Why did I come here? I was happy in my other dream."

"Did it have to deal with being naked?" Seiya asked then Taiki rushed over to Mina and covered her body with his jacket. Mina looked at herself and blushed then transformed into Sailor Venus so she'd have something on.

Taiki took back his jacket and shook his head then transformed but was de- transformed somehow.

"No, we mustn't use our powers for now. We must learn to train without them. If my family and husband to be can kill a demon without powers then so can you. Follow me." Ayeka said from the shadows then was about to lead everyone to the park.

"But I don't have anything to wear." Venus yelled.

"THIS IS A DREAM STATE! DREAM THAT YOU DO HAVE SOMETHING ON!" Ayeka yelled impatiently.

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Heh." Venus's fuku uniform disappeared and she wore a pair of Taiki's pants and one her tank tops.

"Hey isn't-

"We don't have time. Let's go now." Ayeka said coldly and walked off towards the park she trained at, Serena following her followed by Seiya.

"Ayeka?" Wufei whispered and Heero could only blink.

'This isn't like her. She never talks that way to her friends and just leaves.' Trowa thought no one, except Ayeka, knowing that his thought had echoed in the dream.

"Well get used to big brother. Let's GO NOW!" Ayeka yelled the last 2 words in a mean monotone voice and everyone started after her. Serena, though, wasn't surprised at all. This was important and if someone were to play around when something is wrong then it'd drive Ayeka nuts cause it only wastes time. Besides, Serena has seen Ayeka act this way before when they were little.

They reached the park and started training the many ways without powers for a while. After what seemed like forever telling Mina how to do what Mina finally got it and Taiki started training with her then after 3 hours Ayeka told everyone to switch training partners. It first started as:

1st session: Ayeka and Heero, Trowa and Duo, Seiya and Serena, Wufei and Taiki, Mina and Amy, Quatre and Yaten.

2nd session: Ayeka and Trowa, Heero and Duo, Seiya and Wufei, Serena and Taiki, Mina and Quatre, Amy and Yaten.

3rd session: Ayeka and Duo, Heero and Seiya, Trowa and Serena, Wufei and Amy, Taiki and Quatre, Mina and Yaten.

4th session: Mina and Ayeka, Amy and Heero, Quatre and Trowa, Yaten and Duo, Seiya and Taiki, Serena and Wufei.

5th session: Taiki and Ayeka, Mina and Heero, Amy and Trowa, Duo and Seiya, Serena and Yaten, Wufei and Quatre.

6th session: Wufei and Ayeka, Taiki and Heero, Mina and Trowa, Amy and Duo, Quatre and Seiya, and Yaten and Serena.

3 hours each session. Of course though in the dream Ayeka made it seemed longer with some powers she had, though it was really only one hour in the real world out of the dream state. (3 hours in the dream=1 hour out of the dream)

"UGH! I'm getting TIRED OF THIS!" Mina yelled.

"Why? Don't you think its kind of fun?" Ayeka smirked seeing Mina's face turn red from anger.

"NO! WHY DO WE HAVE TO TRAIN IN OUR SLEE-

"I already told you, it is the only way we can defeat this monster. Now, continue the training." Ayeka said calmly and went back to Trowa for session 7 of training then got in a fighting stance.

"Ayeka. I myself am tired. Dream or no dream, can we please rest?" Serena asked.

Ayeka looked at her coldly and leaped through the trees of the park leaving word saying "Fine. Do what you want. If this monster kills anyone you care about through dreams, don't say I didn't warn you and don't blame it on me either."

Serena sighed and watched her go. She understood that this was important to Ayeka for Ayeka has been a fighter even before Serena herself but that didn't mean they couldn't at least rest from training for at least 2 minutes. Did it?

Wufei was about to run after Ayeka but a monster appeared right behind him. Everyone gasped and Wufei leaped out of the way just before the monster would've eaten him. Wufei used his training skills on the monster followed by Heero and Trowa but it still wasn't good enough. Mina and Amy joined in along with Quatre and Duo and the Starlights but they were all just hit away by the monster's head. Serena watched for couple moments till the monster was clear of her friends then she leaped in the air, grabbing her sword, unnoticed and came down bringing the sword from above her head in front of her leveled with her stomach keeping the point out on the opposite side of her stomach and the blade part facing down towards the monstrous creature. Serena quickly shifted the sword making the pointy part face the monster now and stabbed the monster jumping off of it right after taking the sword with her.

The monster cried in vain as Serena pulled out her sword from the monster. As the others watched what was happening the monster started to fade then exploded into many particles of dust.

Ayeka's POV

I heard the monster pop out of the ground when I left them but I didn't go back. I knew they'd be able to defeat it. If not then Serena would be able to. After the training we had together when we were little and fighting demons with and without our powers. It was fun and after those times I know she'd be able to defeat this monster and together with her and I we'd be able to defeat this monster soon. The only problem is we don't know how many lives it has. This isn't like a game after all. Who knows what lies ahead besides Sailor Pluto and Queen Serenity?

I stopped leaping from tree to tree as I came to a stop by a lake. I hopped down and walked to the branch of the lake and jumped in. Under water I started training some more and, since this was a dream and in dreams you can make anything happen if it's your dream, made it where there were arrows and torpedoes shooting from the earthly walls.

Serena's POV

I knew she heard the monster coming up from the earth. I knew she heard the monster traveling through the earth making soft rumbling sounds. I knew that's one of the reasons why she left. The other reason was to train different elements just like when we were little. Ayeka and I may be more experienced then everyone else except Trowa and Heero at fighting demons without powers but that doesn't mean she had to leave just to test them, though I think that was a good thing.

Poor Wufei wanted to go after her but couldn't cause of that demon. Why would she act that way to Wufei? I've never known her to do such a thing to someone she'd love. What happened to her? Was it because of all her training? Was she normally this serious before she and I met? Ayeka. Sister Ayeka, what's wrong?

"Ayeka! I have to find her!" Wufei yelled but the only expressions Trowa and Heero held were of serious calmness.

"Wufei. Do not worry. She'll be okay. She's the one who taught me how to fight powerless anyways. If she were able to teach me that then she'd be able to protect herself. Trust me." I put a hand on Wufei's shoulder. Seiya slowly got up moaning and ran over to me making sure I was all right. Yaten and Taiki did the same for Amy and Mina.

"Don't worry Honey, I'm all right." I reassured.

"Are you sure?" I nodded my head to my very concerned boyfriend.

"Ayeka will be fine Wufei. She knows how to take care of herself." Heero said in his monotone voice.

"Alright." Wufei bowed his head.

"C'mon. Let's finish the training. We must move to different elemental areas. I'm assuming she's training in water right now cause lake is the nearest. While she's there we'll go and train in a volcano for the element of fire. You never know what powers this demon has. Let's go." Trowa said in his calm voice and started to concentrate on teleporting everyone to a volcano.

"Yeah but-

Quatre was about to say something but a flash of teleportation had interrupted him. Everyone had landed on a volcano outside of it. Mina started to cough from the heat.

"Trowa. We're training on a volcano, how'd we survive? No human can survive the heat." Quatre pleaded at his companion.

Realization hit Heero and Trowa. "Wait. We are only training in a dream Quatre. Dream you're not hot. Dream." Trowa said sounding like he was trying to hypnotize everyone except Heero.

Everyone, except Trowa, Heero (the ones trying to hypnotize us), and I, was now hypnotized and seeing what they were trying to do before they did acted like I was hypnotized as well. Those monsters must be able to control people. I thought to myself being careful not to let anyone in the dream hear it. I made my eyes turn dull making it looked hypnotized.

Trowa's POV

'Good, Now to take them to master.' I thought making sure everyone was hypnotized.

"The Demon God will be pleased once he finds out we have captured the powerful ones. We'll just have to get Ayeka afterwards." Heero said.

I looked at him and smirked, "yes, you're right. Now let's take them and hurry. They'll make good slaves, too."

Serena's POV

A flash of light took Heero, Trowa, and those who were hypnotized, which obviously means I didn't go with the flash of teleportation light. I hurried and teleported to the lake Ayeka was in and pulled her out.

Ayeka nearly attacked me but stopped on reflexes. She stared at me confusingly then I could see realization hitting her. Ayeka and I started to do sign language.

/If we talk or think aloud the monster may be able to track us. Where are the others/?

/Your brothers hypnotized them. I believe the monsters have hypnotizing powers and hypnotized or took control of your brothers. Your brothers said that the others and I would make good slaves and that we'd please the demon god. What's going on? Who is the demon god/?

/He is the demon of all demons. He is the strongest evil ever lived or lived being dead. Like the living dead, you know. Let's get under water before they come and find us/.

/alright/.

I knew something was up. I couldn't trust her for now. What happened? Was she hypnotized as well? Hmm. I had better be cautious. I just know something's wrong.

Ayeka's POV

-Trowa! Heero! You idiots! You didn't make sure this girl was hypnotized too. I'll just have to take care of her myself. Anna Akelaneohi (pronounced like Aw~Naw~ Aw~Keh~Lawn~Ey~O~He) Out- I said telepathically to my brothers then thought

'this one's mi-

Serena's POV

*Take That! I better hurry*

I hit Ayeka in the head knocking her out. I then grabbed Ayeka by the arm and jumped out of the lake pushing off of the ground then landed on the grassy area next to the trees Ayeka jumped off of a while ago.

*Got to do something and fast*

I concentrated and started training in what seemed like space. I trained and trained hour after hour. It was all so weird. After a while I concentrated and in a flash of light the Starlights, Quatre, Duo, Mina, and Amy were all in front of me.

I waited for them to awake but then realized they might be one of them now. I used my powers to heal them and the soon awoke blinking. Wufei looked at me then everywhere else with a worried expression written all over his face. He was about to whisper but I slapped his mouth before even a voiced breath came out.

/Don't talk or we'll be found. Ayeka, Trowa, and Heero are one of them. Trowa and Heero tried to hypnotize you and get you to their side. Don't even think a thought. Use the sign language/.

/Where are we/? Amy signaled me.

/This is my dream's space. This is where we'll train for a bit more then go and kick some butt as well as save the others/.

/Sere, why don't we just dream them away/?

/I tried but can't. Remember, this thing is in everyone's dream/.

/Yeah but-

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quatre POV

I woke up in bed and looked around seeing I wasn't dreaming anymore. I got up and called everyone one else except Heero, Wufei and Ayeka, and Trowa saving the 4 for last except for Trowa whom I lived with.

"Ugh. Hello?" Hearing Mina's voice made me smile.

"Mina, are you two all right?" I asked.

"Yes Quatre. Thanks. Let's all meet at Amy's or my house, ok? I'll call Amy and Yaten, you call Duo and Serena." Mina said seriously.

"We'll meet at yours." I said receiving an hmm for ok and hung up before calling the ones I was assigned to.

Mina's POV

I hung up after Quatre and started calling. I saw my boyfriend Taiki walking down the stairs and over here. I nodded and he understood. Taiki went into the kitchen and made breakfast for everyone that was coming over on count of my nod.

"Hello?" I heard Amy's sweet voice over the phone.

"Amy! We're all going to meet here all right? Hurry. We'll have breakfast waiting for you so you can come faster." Mina said a bit cheerfully knowing that her friend was still with the goodies.

"All right. We'll be there in a few." Amy said over the line and we both hung up.

Quatre's POV

I hung up the phone after calling Duo and Serena's places then went and got my things and left for Mina and Taiki's place after making sure Trowa wasn't awake. If he was awake then who knows what would've happened.

Amy's POV

After hanging up the phone I told my fiancé about the meeting at Mina's house. He looked at me and nodded then asked if I was all right. I nodded my head and smiled at my fiancé Yaten.

"I'm fine. Thank you." I said with a bigger smile.

"All right. Let's go then." Yaten grabbed his and my jackets. It was cold out today, very cold.

We left the house and headed for Mina and Taiki's.

Serena's POV

I had just finished studying after Quatre called a few moments before and got up grabbing my jacket. Once foot out the door I stood and stared at the sky. It held a warm sky but yet right now the winds blew a cold breeze against my face.

I shivered then gained control of myself and closed the door locking it before I walked to my car. The car. It was locked with my keys in it. GREAT! Just 'what I need' I thought. But Didn't I put it on the desk by Seiya's end of the bed? Why would he leave it in the car? I sighed and remembered that he was supposed to come too so I walked back up to the door and was about to unlock it but it was swung opened by Seiya himself. I stared at him. He had darkness in his eyes. I knew something was wrong with him. Had the monsters gotten to him too? How? I thought they only existed in the world of dreams.

"Seiya Honey, are you-

Seiya's POV

Before I had awoken I saw that a monster had found us and I was just about wake up from the dream. It got to me right when I awoke. I looked at myself hearing Serena talking on the phone. I smirked. 'Four down, many others to go. Master will be satisfied with this for now. This way we can take over both worlds.' I thought as I heard the door being shut and locked.

I got up and out of bed and walked to the door of the front porch and heard it trying to be unlocked. I swung the door open and looked at her.

"Seiya Honey, are you-

I knocked her out, my own girlfriend. I smirked but then it went away when a thought in my head was trying to stop me from doing anymore.

"SHUT UP STUPID BOY!" I screamed as my head ached.

'LEAVE MY GIRLFRIEND ALONE!' a thought yelled angrily at myself.

I soon gained control and straightened myself and smiled dragging the girl inside the house and called for others of my own kind to come and feed on her dreams or take control of her.

I smirked and just sat inside the house with the door closed.
