Author's Notes:
TimeAsunderQ: Erm, yes, well we're writing more and more these days, so we thought we'd put out another chapter.
Chapter 5: She must have... accidentally jumped into the Time Lash!
*snicker*
"Ow!"
"Hold still!" The Doctor turned to get another cloth. "It will hurt more if you move around."
Minako rolled her eyes. "Well, I'll try to stop breathing so my stomach won't move too much."
Rei started laughing then stopped in pain. "It hurts to laugh."
Usagi gave a small grin. "Good. It'll be quiet around here for once without your rude, obnoxious laughter."
Before Rei could respond, the Doctor gave his no nonsense look and the scouts shut up.
They were all in the sickbay, each Senshi sitting on a separate bed, waiting to be doctored by the Doctor. Setsuna, Sailor Pluto in Senshi form, sat on the same bed with Usagi. Rei was in the bed across from them, Minako beside Usagi, Makoto beside Rei, and Ami beside Makoto. Peri was following the Doctor around the room as he helped the scouts. At the moment he was trying to clean Minako's cut in her stomach but it was proving to be difficult because Minako complained every time he put the cloth next to the cut.
"Now," the Doctor began. "Please tell us what is going on." He directed the question toward Setsuna who was trying to stop the bleeding on Usagi's arm. All the scouts turned to look at the Senshi of Time.
Setsuna stopped dabbing Usagi's arm and her face became serious. Minako stopped complaining, Rei's eyes shifted from Setsuna to Usagi, who was trying to get the blood to stop the blood from running down her arm any more than it already was, Ami opened her eyes, and Makoto took the ice off her black eye so she could kind of see Setsuna from across the room.
"Chaos is what's happening."
"Nani?" Usagi looked up from her arm. "What is he trying to do now?"
"Not what is he *trying* but what he is *doing*," Setsuna said looking at the princess. "He is systematically destroying time and space. He has begun to do this by compressing dimensions together and warping universal time."
"Huh?" Minako whispered to Usagi.
"Basically," Ami interjected. "We're all screwed if he isn't stopped."
"Oh!" Usagi, Minako, and Peri said in unison.
"What can we possibly do to stop this thing?" Rei asked Setsuna but it was the Doctor who answered.
"That is why I came to get you." He finished bandaging Minako up and moved across to Rei to get her throat bandaged. "I knew that all of you had fought Chaos in one form or another. Am I right?"
"More than right," Ami said quietly. "He has been the base of every evil we have fought and will probably be in future battles."
"But we've beaten him before," Usagi said. "And he has always been in some solid form, never just....darkness."
"Hai," Setsuna said. "He is very powerful and if he isn't stopped everything will be destroyed and this time it isn't just the world, it is everything in the known universe and even further." She sighed and turned back to Usagi, starting to help her again. "You scouts need a power-up."
"Not a good sign," Minako whispered to Peri. "Every time we are beaten we get a power-up. I wonder how high up we can go with our powers."
The Doctor moved on from Rei. "Much higher, from my calculations." He gave a sharp look towards Setsuna. ".. And according to hers as well."
Setsuna cleared her throat. "We can use the Doctor's TARDIS and its artron energy to produce a series of power ups for you girls. From these power- ups you will develop an array of new attacks."
Usagi spoke up to voice the question on everyone's minds. "Setsuna-san... Will you stay with us to battle these enemies?"
She shook her head slowly. "No Usagi-chan, I cannot stay with you. I must guard the Time Gates from this onslaught. If Chaos succeeds, then an army of Daimon will converge on them, and I must protect them at all costs. You have your mission. Listen to the Doctor. He is as wise as his years belay. He will guide you through this, but if the situation gets too bad.. I will come to your aide. You will never be alone in this. Know that."
The Senshi all nodded, realizing the peril they were in (Peri? NO! Peril!).
"Now I must go," Setsuna declared firmly.
"I will take care of them Sailor Pluto. I will do my best. We can no longer afford anything less," he stated simply, looking around at each sailor in turn.
In a burst of light, Setsuna transformed into Sailor Pluto and waved her staff in front of her. The walls of the TARDIS seemed to shimmer and swirl, and then she was gone. The walls reformed, and Minako caught herself reaching out to where the Senshi of Time had just been.
Silence reigned over the room for a few seconds until Peri stood up. "I'll go get everyone some food. I bet you are all hungry."
Usagi blinked and then nodded. "Now that I think about it, I am kind of hungry." She yawned. "But, I think I'm more tired than anything." She lay down in the sickbed and closed her eyes. In seconds, she was asleep.
"Poor, Usagi," Makoto said. "You know, I could use a little sleep myself."
"I say we all go to our rooms and get some sleep." Rei slowly stood up but was stopped by the Doctor gently pushing her back down on the bed.
"Iie, you are all staying in here tonight. Peri will stay with you and will come to get me if anything happens."
Peri nodded and moved to one of the vacant beds. The Doctor looked at each of the Senshi, making sure they were in better shape. He then nodded once and walked out of the sickbay, leaving the scouts and Peri by themselves to sleep off the horrible battle.
To be continued.........
Doctor: Remember, just forget everything I said in the TARDIS!!
Peri: But I don't want to go!! *falls over and is drug face down out of the 1980s*
