Smokey stood in the shadows, watching the unconscious girl lying on a mat in the middle of the floor. She stirred, then woke up, looking around, not remembering what happened to her, or where she was. Smokey grinned. "You're awake" he said. Mandy turned to look at him. He walked out into the light. "It took a lot of convincing, but I finally convinced the queen to let me have what I want." he said. Mandy narrowed her eyes, knowing what was coming. Smokey walked up to her and grabbed her by the chin. "You have a choice. Be my queen, or you can die along with your friends." he said. Mandy pulled away. "Never! And you leave my friends alone!" she yelled. He scowled at her. "No can do." He said, smirking. "You're killing your friends. One minute, and I'll send attacks at them." Mandy's eyes widened, and she looked down, knowing that her friends' lives were more important then her own. "Fine…just leave them alone.." she whispered. He grinned. "Excellent." he said. He snapped his fingers, and the girl's clothes melted into a wedding dress.
The rescue party looked around, trying to find any clues. Mat sighed. "No traps, no monsters…just one giant, empty castle…and no sign of Mandy" he said. Mercury was still using her computer, trying to find a lead. "I think I see an energy source.." she said. "Good. A start. Find it" Lethe said. "Where is it Mercury?" Moon asked. Venus was looking at all the dust disgustedly. "They need a maid" she said absentmindedly. Sailor Moon sweatdropped. Mercury pointed. "That way." she said. Sailor Moon nodded, and headed in the direction Mercury pointed out. Mat looked ahead, only seeing walls and pictures. "Kinda…quiet. Don't cha think?" Sailor Moon asked. Neptune nodded. "Yea…too quiet." Mat nodded in agreement. "We're getting closer.." Mercury said. "Good." Moon replied. Mat shivered. "Cold spot." he said looking at the ground. Sailor Moon blinked, looking at him. Mat started to walk around, trying to find somewhere that wasn't cold. Moon watched him. "Really cold now." he said. "What is it?" Sailor Moon asked him. Saturn frowned. "I sense it now Mercury…and there's two" she said. Mat shivered, pressing up against the wall, trying to keep warm. "Another captive?" Mnemosyne asked. "No.." Pluto responded. Mercury continued to press buttons on her computer. "I think one of them is Mandy!" she said. "Feels like it.." Mat said. "Mandy? Where!?" Sailor Moon asked. "Right behind that.." Mercury looked up. "Wall.." she finished. "We have to find some way to get through!" Sailor Moon said. Mercury walked up to the wall and started to feel around. "We can smash it open.." Mat said. "It's stone!" Sailor Moon yelled. "Just weaken the base.." Mat replied. "You all are making this more complicated than it is." Mercury said. Mat watched her confused. "What's up Ami?" he asked. Mercury pushed a stone, and it fell through. Lethe blinked. "That works.."
Mandy looked at Smokey. "I swear, if you lie and do hurt my friends.." she threatened. "What can you do about it?" he teased, holding up her transformation pen. He frowned, sensing the group on the other side of the wall. "Let's move to a different room." he said. He snapped his fingers, and he and Mandy disappeared, reappearing in a different room in the castle.
Sailor Moon sensed this. "No!" she cried. "They're gone.." she added. Mat stopped shivering, feeling normal again. "She's gone…" The wall started to move back, until they could see in the room. "They were right there.." Mercury said. "What happened?" Mnemosyne asked. "They transported.." Saturn replied. Sailor Moon pounded on the wall. "No.." she sighed. Mat shook his head. "They could be anywhere…underground, outside, even on another planet.." he said. Moon glared at him. "Not helping" she said. "I still sense them" Saturn said. "How many levels are in this building?" Mat asked Mercury. Mercury typed in a few things on her computer. "Seven" she replied.
Mandy looked at Smokey, confused about why he wanted to leave the room so suddenly. Then she realized. "My friends are here aren't they?" she asked. "It doesn't concern you" he replied sneering. "It does so! They are here!" she retorted. Smokey slapped her across the face. "Don't talk to me like that!" he yelled. The girl put a hand to her cheek, glaring at him. Smokey closed his eyes and concentrated, then sent his energy to where the scouts were, sending bolts of lightning from the ceiling.
"Incoming!" Mat yelled looking up. Sailor Moon looked up. "Oh no" she moaned. Lethe dodged, pulling her sister with her. "Silent Wall!" Saturn yelled, shielding them from the attack. Mat sighed in relief. "Thanks Saturn" Venus said. Saturn nodded. "They know we are here..new plan" Lethe said. Neptune looked up in thought. "This will be difficult. They can transport whenever we get near" she said. Mat nodded, looking at Mercury. "Seven floors…above or below us?" he asked. "None above us. Below" she replied. "If we do at least one or two to a floor.." Mat started. "We could corner them" Mercury finished. Mat nodded. "Who goes with who?" Mercury asked. "Lethe and Mnemosyne, one. Moon and Venus, two. Mercury, three. Uranus and Neptune, four. Mat, five. Myself, six, and Saturn, seven." Pluto said. "Based on teamwork I presume?" Lethe said. Pluto nodded. "I think that'll do it." Mat said. Moon nodded. "Let's go!" she said. "Need to find a way down first." Mat said. Sailor Moon groaned. Mercury pointed to a staircase in the corner. "Ok. NOW can we go?" Moon asked. "Now we can go" Mat replied. "Good." she replied running off. They all headed to their designated levels.
After a bit of getting lost, Sailor Jupiter, Mars, and Silent Star arrived at the front of the mansion. "Mandy's in there?" Jupiter asked. Mars nodded. "Now let's find the others" she said. "Come on come on come on come on! We gotta help the others!" Silent Star exclaimed, worried about her mother's safety. Jupiter nodded and forced the door open, finding the hall empty. "Where'd they go?" she asked herself.
Rin was getting bored just watching the senshi, and wanted to take action. "Liiiiiiin! If you don't know where they are, we should go there! Maybe we can find out! And maybe there really is stuff made out of gold and…" Lin stopped her before she could start chattering again. "Fine Fine..let's go" she said.
