"I think I've found her!" Ami cried. The others came rushing over to Ami. "You have?" Mamoru asked hopefully. "Yes, I have, but, oh no…" Ami said concern in her voice. "Ami, what's wrong is Usako alright?" Mamoru asked about to go into hysteria once again. "Her Lunarian power is being used, to keep her alive." Ami stated. "What do you mean to keep her alive?!" Mamoru asked in hysteria over the thought of his love dying. "Mamoru calm down! She's going to be all right! She's using her Lunarian power to heal herself, that's all. But there is something strange about her life force, it seems to be more, how can I put it lightly, youthful, yes that's it, youthful." Ami stated.
"What do you mean by 'youthful', Ami?" Makoto asked her friend. "I mean, I think that not only was Usagi put into this dimension, but I think this monster turned her back into a child! No! I lost her!" Ami shouted in distress. "Well, it seems that monster went through a lot of trouble just to get Usako away from us. It seems she'll never come back to us." Mamoru said hopelessly. "Mamoru, this isn't the time to give up, we have to keep trying!" Rei shouted. "You're right Rei. Usako wouldn't give up now if I had been the one to have disappeared." Mamoru stated shamefully. "Usako when are you going to come back to me?" Mamoru whispered to himself, low enough so the others couldn't hear.
************************************In Hyrule************************************
"Is Usagi going to alright?" Link asked his voice full of concern. "I think she'll be alright, she was just knocked unconscious." Navi said. Just then Usagi started to stir, she opened her eyes and looked at Link's face, the crescent moon disappeared. "Are you alright, Usagi?" Link asked his voice still full of concern for her. "I think so." Usagi said as she tried to get up but just fell back down. "Great, I can't stand up." Usagi said with disgust. "I'm so stupid, I should have checked the area before I went running over there. I'm sorry that I worried you." Usagi said. "It's okay, and you're not stupid." Link said. "What happened to the Skulltula?" Usagi asked as she tried once more to stand. "I destroyed it, and I don't think you should try standing right now. Just sit down and rest awhile." Link said as he gently pushed her back on to the ground so she wouldn't stand. "But then that means that it will take longer to save the Great Deku Tree!" Usagi protested. "I don't think the Great Deku Tree would want to get you killed just to save himself." Link explained as he sat down next to Usagi. "I agree with Link, I think we should all rest awhile, since it's getting late." Navi said.
Link desperately wanted to ask Usagi about the crescent moon, but decided against it. "Why don't you try getting some sleep, Usagi? You'll probably feel a lot better in the morning." Link said with a smile. "Well, if you say so." Usagi said as she started to lie down on the ground. "Link?" Usagi asked sweetly. "Yes?" Link questioned. Usagi kissed him on the cheek and said, "Thanks for saving my life." She then yawned and went to sleep. Link on the other hand was sitting there shocked with his cheeks turning red. "Link, why didn't you ask her about that symbol?" Navi questioned. Link's cheeks slowly turned back to their normal color. "I don't think we should pressure her into telling us anything. If she wants to tell us about it then she will." Link said as he too lied down on the ground and went to sleep.
Link was the first on to wake up in the morning; he got up and walked over to Usagi. "Usagi, wake up its morning." Link whispered into her ear. Usagi woke up, looked at Link, and smiled. "Good morning." Usagi said as she kissed his cheek for the second time, and again Link blushed. Usagi slowly got up, she walked around a little and tried to get used to the pain in her leg. Link noticed the limp in her steps. "Usagi, are you sure your going to be able to walk?" Link asked concerned for Usagi. "I think I can manage." Usagi said smiling, she started to look over to the ledge and block, and she got an idea. "Link, if we were to push that block over we should be able to climb up on that ledge, shouldn't we?" Usagi asked. "That may work. Usagi come over here and help me push." Link said as he walked over to the block, with Usagi following him. "Okay on my count, push. One, two, three, push!" Link shouted as he pushed with all his might along with Usagi.
They managed to move the block far enough that it was under the ledge. Link was the first to climb up on top of the block. He noticed that Usagi was having difficulty climbing up because of her height and her injury. "Usagi give me your hand, I'll help you up." Link said putting out his hand, for her to take. She took his hand and he pulled her up. "Thank you." Usagi said smiling. "Your welcome." Link replied as he started to climb up on the ledge. Once up he pulled Usagi over the ledge. "Usagi, be careful. Stay behind me." Link said as he held Usagi's hand and kept her behind him. Link had his sword ready when suddenly a Deku Baba popped out of nowhere. Link easily defeated it with one swipe of his Kokiri Sword. Two more Deku Babas tried their attacks, both failed.
Suddenly, three Deku Scrubs jumped out of the ground. "These must be the scrub's brothers." Usagi said getting ready to reflect their attacks. Link put his shield up. "Usagi, what was the order?" Link asked reflecting one attack after another. "2-3-1!" Usagi yelled. Link reflected the Deku Seeds back at the Deku Brothers. First was Brother #2, then Brother #3, and finally Brother #1. "We surrender!" Shouted the Deku Brothers. "Why should we accept your surrender?" Asked Link preparing to end their lives. "We can tell you how to defeat Gohma." Said Brother #3. "Gohma?" Usagi questioned. "The monster that is behind this curse." Said Brother #1. "What can you tell us?" Link questioned never letting his guard down. "When her gigantic eye turns red, hit her eye with your slingshot, and then deliver a swift blow with your sword while she's stunned." Brother #2 replied. "You must deliver eight blows of your sword to defeat her." Brother #3 provided. "Thank you." Replied Usagi gratefully. "Your welcome, miss." Brother #1 responded.
"There is something about you that intrigues us. Something different, something so pure. I can't figure it out, but know this child, you are blessed, and we can feel it." Said Brother #1. Usagi blushed. "Usagi, we need to move on." Link said as he took her hand in his and led her to the door which was now unlocked. "Are you ready Usagi?" Link asked. "Yes, as ready as I'm going to be." Usagi said. "Let's go." Link said as he pushed the door opened with his free hand, while his other one was still holding Usagi's small hand.
They entered a dark room, as soon as they entered the doors barred. "Usagi, remember what the scrubs told us, you have to hit her in the eye, then I will hit her with my sword." Link said trying to find Gohma. "Link, I'm scared." Usagi said gripping Link's hand tightly. "It will be okay Usagi." Link said turning to her and giving her a smile. Usagi had a look of terror on her face. "What's wrong Usagi?" Link said turning around. Gohma had snuck up on them and was running towards them. Gohma and her one gigantic, now red, eye trained on Link. "Usagi, get behind me, I'll protect you." Link said pushing Usagi behind him bracing for the attack.
*********************************In Tokyo, Japan*********************************
Rei woke with a start. "What was that dream? What was Usagi doing with that boy?" Rei said getting up to call the Sailor Senshi and Mamoru for an emergency meeting. She called the Senshi first and then Mamoru. "Hello." said the groggy male voice on the other end of the phone. "Mamoru, this is Rei, the Scouts are having an emergency meeting. I had a dream about Usagi." Rei said urgently. "What was the dream about, Rei?" Mamoru asked anxiously. "It had Usagi and a boy, named Link, about fighting together. Usagi still seems to have her memories of us though. I think Usagi may be falling for this boy," Rei said forgetting that she was talking to Usagi's lover or may soon be former. "If my dream is correct, that is." Rei said quickly. "I'll be right over." Mamoru said in an emotionless tone. "Mamoru, are you okay? Mamoru?!" Rei said over the phone as Mamoru hung up.
Mamoru was upset; Usagi was his and only his. "No little boy is going to take my Usako away from me. I'll find a way to get to Usako and drag her back to her destiny with me. Otherwise the future here will be drastically changed, Usako and I will never get married, Crystal Tokyo will never be formed, Chibi Usa will never be born, and the list goes on and on. I have to get Usako back whether she likes it or not." Mamoru said angrily while getting dressed. After he was dress he stalked to the door and went out slamming it behind him.
