Mat woke up and rubbed his head, looking around his dark prison. "Another mess I've gotten myself into." he said to himself. He stood up and examined the lock to the cell he was in. To say the least, it was rather cheap. Rusted and old. "I can pick this.." he thought. He looked on the floor and discovered a nail. He picked it up and picked the lock. He smiled and snuck into the hallway. Unfortunately, several demons heard him and headed towards him. "Great.." he muttered. He took a old CD player out of his pocket and stuck the headphones on the nearest demon, then turned it up loud, receiving a few unhappy squeals from the creature.



The two girls ran down the halls, trying to find any sign of their captive friend. "Mystic better hurry up and find my pen." Mandy muttered. She had sent her cat off to find and retrieve it. Without it, Mandy was pretty much powerless, and could be in danger if they ran into the enemy. And she knew that Niki wouldn't protect her. While the brunette was thinking this, Niki stopped. Mandy looked up as he turned into a different hallway and started running again, following the sound of demon like screams. She blinked. "Hey wait!" she yelped, running after her.



Mat dropped the CD player and started down the hallway. "Thanks for listening!" he called back. Mandy heard him and looked up. "Mat!" she exclaimed, surprised to see him. Niki skidded to a stop in front of Mat. "Having fun without us? Bad boy" she teased. Mandy skid to a stop, for once not running into anyone, and hugged Mat. "Oh my gosh…are you ok?" she asked, worried that the demons had done something. Niki covered her mouth to muffle her laughter.



The brunette blinked, realizing what she was doing and backed off slowly. Mat blinked and blushed, watching the girl, then shook it off. "We gotta find a way out.." he said. Mandy nodded absentmindedly. 'What was that all about?!' She asked herself. 'That was the stupidest thing you've ever done Mandy Kino…well…..except…' Niki looked around. "He's coming.." she said, snapping the girl from her thoughts. Mat looked at Mandy. "He? Who's he?" he asked. Mandy looked up at him and shook her head. "You don't wanna know." she replied.



Niki took out her pen, then stopped. "Mandy..is it ok to.." she asked. She pointed to her pen. Mandy nodded. "Yea.. Mat knows." she said. Niki nodded and in a burst of rose petals, transformed into her sailor counterpart, Sailor Rose. "I'm gonna go see if I can stop him from coming this way.." she said running off. In truth, that was far from what she was really going to do. But the twerps didn't need to know that...right?



"So find anything useful?" Mat asked, trying to lift the uncomfortable silence. "No...lost something though." she replied with a sigh. Mat leaned against the closest wall. "What now?" he asked. Mandy glanced at him. "My pen.. And Mystic was supposed to go find it…" she said. She was cut off from saying anything more as Kosho stepped out from the shadows, holding Mystic, and Mandy's pen. "Well well. Family reunion. How cute." he said. He fired an energy beam at Mat, knowing he couldn't possibly get away in time.
