CH.6: Sailor Pluto Betrayed!

Tokyo-Hikawa Shrine-3:45 a.m:

All of the girls sat around in their pajama's sleep obviously still in their eyes.

"Why are we awaaaaake at 3:00 in the morning?" Serena managed to speak but unsuccessfully tried to stifle her yawn. Sailor Uranus poured some cold water on her head. Serena jumped when the cold water hit her skin. "Eeeekk!"

"Because Sailor Pluto sensed something wrong and has gone to the Gates of Time alone! She told us that if she didn't communicate within half an hour to send Rini home."

Amy who seemed to be fully awake looked at the outer Senshi. "Sailor Pluto said to send Rini home if she was out of contact for too long? How long has she been gone?"

Sailor Uranus walked over to Rini and picked her up. "Sailor Pluto has been gone for just over half an hour. Sailor Neptune and I are going to take Rini back to the 30th century. C'mon Neptune we had better get going." Uranus and Neptune were getting ready to leave when Amy stepped in front of them.

"What will happen if Rini doesn't get back before Sailor Pluto dies...if she does...?"

Uranus frowned at the short blue haired girl in front of her. "I would have thought that you of all people would know Amy."

Amy looked a little confused. "Well I don't so maybe you could fill me in?"

Neptune finally spoke up. "Amy, if Sailor Pluto feels that she is near death she will close the Gates of Time forever. She will block the roads between this present and Rini's present. That is why she wants Rini home in her own time before she is forced to close the roads. If Rini isn't back to her present before this happens she will be stuck here in your present. It would change the future, and it is Sailor Pluto's duty to stop that from happening. Even at the cost of her own life."

Amy stood before them her eyes wide with fear. After a few moments Amy regained her composure. "What will happen to Pluto if she seals the gates?"

Neptune nodded to Uranus and turned back to Amy. Amy watched and noticed that Uranus covered Rini's ears, then Amy turned her attention back to Neptune.

"If she is forced to seal the gates Sailor Pluto will be sealed in time space forever."

Amy looked horrified, but not as horrified as Rini did. "You mean I won't ever get to see Puu again?!"

Neptune and Uranus looked at Rini neither had noticed that she was awake, and covering her ears hadn't helped. "Rini we must take you back to the future. No arguments." Rini jumped from Uranus' arms and ran for the door.

"Rini come back!" Serena ran out the door after her.

"Oh no." Lita and the other girls had finally been fully awakened. "This is bad isn't it Neptune?" Lita watched out the door.

"Yes, it is very bad." The other girls stood up and took out their henshin pens.

"JUPITER STAR POWER!" Lita was surrounded by lightning where she had stood was now Sailor Jupiter.

"MERCURY STAR POWER!" Amy was surrounded by water and where she had stood was now Sailor Mercury.

"MARS STAR POWER!" Raye was surrounded by flames and where she had stood was now Sailor Mars.

"VENUS STAR POWER!" Mina was surrounded by a bright starlight and where she had stood was now Sailor Venus.

The scouts had only finished transforming when they heard a scream. It was defiantly Serena who they had heard. They ran out the door to find her.

When they had found Serena she was sitting on the ground coughing. "Thank goodness you guys are here. I caught up to Rini but she hit me with a smoke bomb." Serena coughed.

Sailor Jupiter helped Serena up. "Where did she get a smoke bomb?"

Uranus and Neptune seemed to read each other's minds and came to the same conclusion. "Her Luna-P ball." They spoke in unison.

Serena stood up and looked in the direction that Rini had run off in. "I hope she'll be ok. I wish I knew where she went..."

Downtown Tokyo-Seth's apartment:

Seth rolled over in his sleep he heard a knocking sound and tried to drown it out with his pillow. Then the knocking stopped and he could swear he heard a small voice say.

"Luna sphere kitty magic!"

He shook his head under his pillow. He thought it sounded like Rini but she was at home with Serena asleep. Then.......BANG! He jumped out of bed and ran to his doorway and to his surprise there was Rini standing on top of his fallen door. She looked up at him and frowned. "Rini...? What are you doing here its..", he glanced over at a clock on the wall it was 4:05 in the morning. "It's four o'clock in the morning Rini.....why are you here? Is Setsuna with you?"

Rini grabbed his legs and started crying. "She went to the gates all by herself! She sensed something was wrong! She might be in danger! You have to help me find her!"

Seth looked down at the little girl. She was so distraught. Then what she had said sank in. "What do you mean she sensed something wrong?"

Rini looked up at his face. "Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus said she felt that something was wrong and she went to find out what it was all by herself!"

Seth looked down at the little pink haired girl. His heart sank. If Setsuna went alone she must have sensed immense danger. He couldn't bear it if she was so hastily taken from him again. "Ok Rini lets go to the gates."

Rini looked up at him with a small smile on her face. "Ok we'll use my crystal key. Puu won't let anything else come to the gates." Rini held up her crystal key and took a deep breath. "CRYSTAL KEY, TAKE ME TO-ahhhhh!"

A girl swooped in and grabbed the key from Rini. "Sorry munchkin! Sailor Pluto can't be distracted from her battle with the man she thought she could trust! HAHAHAHA! Later kiddies." The girl disappeared laughing.

Seth picked up Rini and ran out the door to find the other scouts. They had to find a way to the gates.

Gates of Time:

Sailor Pluto dodged another attack. "Why are you doing this?" Pluto Knight leapt at her with his sword ready to cut her throat out. "Why have you come here to fight with me? I thought you cared for me." Sailor Pluto jumped above him but the blade still hit her leg and left a long deep cut down the side. She landed behind him and brought her staff to block his next blow.

"You truly think I could love you the way I did? After you abandoned me to die in the Silver Millennium! I could never love you the way I did."

His words stung Sailor Pluto worse than the cut on her leg. It stung her very heart and soul. "You....you....traitor! How could you betray me like this? I tried to save you! You know that!" She brought her staff up to block his sword. She wasn't going to give him the chance to hurt her. Sailor Pluto used her staff to throw his sword from his hands. "This ends now Pluto Knight! I will end this on my terms!" Pluto powered up her Garnet Staff and readied her attack. She had a river of tears that she hid behind her eyes. How could he betray her like this?

"Sailor Pluto, this will not end so easily! I will kill you." Pluto Knight smiled wickedly, and stared Sailor Pluto in the eyes.

The fake Pluto Knight knew what his job was. His job was to fight with Sailor Pluto to wear her out. Then he was to capture her, take her back to King Daios then to kill the other scouts when they came looking for Sailor Pluto. The only problem was that he was growing tired of fighting her on his own. She was, after all, a formidable opponent. He watched her eyes for a moment. They had turned cold and…murderous? He had assumed that she had a tender heart and could never hurt her dear Pluto Knight, but he found himself to be proven very wrong.

Sailor Pluto pointed her staff at Pluto Knight. She didn't want to hurt him, but that's what he was counting on. She silently thanked Kami for her centuries as guardian of the gates. Her experience had hardened her heart somewhat. But it still hurt her deep down inside.

"Prepare yourself for your death Pluto Knight! Oh Kami, forgive me." She noticed him still watching her face. A single tear escaped from the corner of her eye and slid down her cheek. "Good bye my Pluto Knight. DEAD SCREAM!" The ball of energy headed for him full force. Her chest ached with pain from her broken heart. She heard a scream of agony and closed her eyes. "I'm sorry Pluto Knight......Seth....."

Sailor Pluto didn't let a single sob leave her body. She showed no sign of remorse for what she had done. On the outside she looked as strong and collected as ever. On the inside her chest ached with the pain of losing her love, of having the knowledge that it was she who had killed him. Her chest ached with the pain of his betrayal. Another tear escaped her eye as she looked at the spot where he had just been. She felt so sad inside.

At that moment Sailor Pluto grabbed her leg. The pain was excruciating, the wound was fairly deep. But it was nothing Amy couldn't wrap up. Sailor Pluto suddenly realized that she hadn't communicated with her friends since she came to the gates. She didn't want them worrying about her too much.

The fake Pluto Knight snuck up behind Sailor Pluto. She thought that she had killed him, but she was wrong. He cursed himself for thinking that she wouldn't kill Pluto Knight if he betrayed her. He was sadly mistaken in that assumption. He walked up behind her. She didn't seem sad at all that she had killed her one true love. In the back of his mind he was scared of her. 'What kind of girlfriend can kill her boyfriend without any regrets?'

Slowly he came closer to her. She had pulled out her communicator and was about to contact the other scouts to let them know she was ok. He decided to grab her at that moment.

Sailor Pluto flipped open her communicator. Just as Sailor Mercury answered, Sailor Pluto was grabbed from behind and knocked unconscious. Her communicator fell to the ground with a clack and Amy could hear the laughter of the fake Pluto Knight in the background. He kicked the communicator toward the gates.

Mercury's voice could be heard shouting from the tiny speaker. "Sailor Pluto? Sailor Pluto? SETSUNA?!" The fake Pluto Knight lifted Sailor Pluto in his arms and laughed maniacally. Just then he realized just how beautiful she was. He smiled wickedly, it was no wonder King Daios wanted her alive. She was beautiful AND powerful. He thought for a moment that maybe she could be his instead of Daios'. At this point Sia had shown up.

"Hey Fake Knight! What are you waiting for? King Daios is waiting for you to deliver this scout to him." Sia stared down at him. Every moment he looked at her she seemed more and more beautiful to him. He didn't want to let her go, especially to a wimp like King Daios. He didn't have time to ponder this however, as Sailor Pluto was now floating out of his arms and up towards General Sia. "I'm going to take her back to the Negaverse. You know the rest of your job. Finish off the scouts when they come looking for Sailor Pluto. Got it?"

The fake knight looked up at her and nodded. He would finish off the scouts then go back to the Negaverse and snatch Sailor Pluto from King Daios before he had a chance to do anything to her.

Downtown Tokyo-back alley:

Sailor Mercury clicked open her communicator when it started to beep. Sailor Pluto's face appeared on the screen. Mercury smiled and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Everyone! It's Sailor Pluto! She's o......huh?" Everyone turned to Sailor Mercury as she stared at the screen in horror. Evil laughter filled the alley. It was coming from the communicator. "Sailor Pluto? Sailor Pluto? SETSUNA?!" Everyone came over to Mercury to see what was wrong. As they gathered around they heard evil laughter that chilled them to the bone. Then silence.

"Mercury what happened?" Sailor Uranus turned Mercury to face her. "What happened to Sailor Pluto? Tell me!" Mercury cowered a little bit under Uranus' stare.

Sailor Neptune came up behind Sailor Uranus and put a hand on her shoulder. "Mercury please tell us what happened." Sailor Mercury's face turned pale as she spoke her next words to the anxious group.

"Seth......"

Uranus glared into the night. "That rotten scum! I knew I couldn't trust him! I'm going right now."

Neptune grabbed her arm. "We don't know that he did something bad. Mercury please continue."

Mercury took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "He took her........"

Uranus was seriously stressed by now and was loosing her patience. "TOOK HER WHERE MERCURY? SPIT-IT-OUT!" Uranus just exploded without any warning.

Mercury wavered a moment then spoke again. "The...Negaverse..."

Sailor Uranus was seriously angry now. "Inner scouts you find Rini, Neptune and I will go to the gates and try to catch that piece of..." Before she finished her sentence she noticed that Neptune's eyes were dangerously narrow as they looked at her. "When you find Rini bring her to the gates. Neptune lets go." And the two leapt off into the night leaving the other scouts behind. The Inner scouts nodded to each other and left to try and find Rini.

Downtown Tokyo-empty street :

Seth and Rini were running towards the Hikawa Shrine to find the other scouts. Rini was slowing down, Seth figured that the small child could only go so far on foot. Rini tripped and fell over, her Luna-P Ball rolled about a foot away. "Ohhh. Ow my ankle." Rini grabbed her ankle and nursed it for a moment and then stood up. "We gotta hurry. Puu might be hurt."

Seth decided that he would carry Rini the rest of the way. He bent down to pick her up but she held up a hand. "I can keep going give me a second to catch my breath."

The small child before him was so intent on helping Setsuna. He smiled at her. "Ready to go Rini?"

Rini took out her locket and held it above her head.

"MOON PRISM POWER!" Rini was bathed in a bright pink light and where she stood was now Sailor Chibi Moon.

"Sailor Chibi Moon? Ready to go?" Seth asked the young scout.

Sailor Chibi Moon turned to him. "Are you going to transform? Or are you going to let Pluto get hurt?" Seth nodded. He took out a garnet colored rose and became Pluto Knight.

As he was finishing his transformation Chibi Moon's Luna Ball lit up and turned on. Chibi Moon picked it up and heard a very familiar voice. It was Sailor Pluto! But what she heard wasn't good. Sailor Pluto's voice sounded surprised then silence. "Puu? Oh no!" After a moment she could hear something scratchy it sounded like another voice yelling for Sailor Pluto. "We need to get to the gates as soon as we can. Lets find the other scouts." Chibi Moon began running towards the shrine followed by Pluto Knight.

Pluto Knight prayed silently for Sailor Pluto to be ok when they found her.

Bowles of the Negaverse:

Setsuna woke up. She held her head with her hands she had a splitting headache. She kept her eyes closed. She was trying to remember what had happened. She remembered being at the gates because some one had opened them. Then she was attacked by.....by Pluto Knight. The pain had returned to her chest. She had killed him because he had betrayed her, but then something had come up from behind her and..... after that everything went black…

Setsuna opened her eyes expecting to see her room at Haruka and Michiru's apartment, unfortunately that's not where she was. She was in a large room with black and red material hanging from the walls. She was on a large bed with black and red sheets and hangings.

"Where am I?" Setsuna sat up and looked around there was a door on the far wall, and no other openings to speak of. Setsuna got out of bed and stood up. She hadn't gone two steps before she fell face first to the floor. She got up and looked at what she had tripped over.

It was the hem of a long black dress that she was wearing instead of her Senshi uniform. She found a mirror next to bed and got a better look at what she was wearing. It was a long black dress it fell to the floor and puddled around her feet. It had a plunging neckline and multiple arm straps. She noticed a small garnet colored choker with a black crescent moon on the front. She reached up pulled it off and threw it on the ground. Setsuna knew where she was now. She had been taken into the Negaverse.

" How do I get out of here without my staff." Setsuna found herself feeling very tired all of a sudden. She tried to fight it off but she couldn't keep her eyes open. "I must...sta..stay...awa..." Setsuna couldn't hold on to consciousness any more. She fell to the floor with a loud thud.

King Daios was headed for the room where Setsuna was sleeping. He was going to study her and try to find out the best method for brainwashing her. He was overjoyed that he had the power to make the timeless beauty Sailor Pluto forget about her friends and knight. He came to the door and pushed it open.

Setsuna wasn't on the bed where she should have been. Just then Daios noticed a black heap on the floor. It was Setsuna! He walked over to her and lifted her up. She was so beautiful, and soon she would be all his. He laid her on the bed and smiled. She must have tried to leave but hadn't had the strength.

He bent down and picked up the necklace that lay on the floor. The tiny black moon was smashed into several pieces. He placed it on a table next to the bed and left the room. 'Soon' he thought, 'soon the one who I have wanted since the beginning of time will be mine.' He smiled smugly to himself as he walked down the corridor.

Downtown Tokyo-rooftop:

Sailors Uranus and Neptune were getting ready to go to the Gates of Time when a pink cloud caught their eye. It had to be Rini! No one else had a time key. The two nodded to each other and ran towards the cloud, hoping Rini would be near.

Sailor Chibi Moon was holding onto Pluto Knight's waist as they were floating into the air.

"I didn't know Puu gave you a time key!" Pluto Knight looked down at the young scout.

"She didn't! This is how my pathway works. It's similar to your time key!" They were floating towards the clouds and suddenly they were pulled down to the ground by two sets of hands. When they landed the clouds parted and the sky was clear again. "Who are you?" Pluto Knight was curious to know who had stopped him from helping his princess.

"We are Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune! And you're busted!" Sailor Neptune picked Chibi Moon up off the ground and put her on her feet. After Chibi Moon was up Sailor Uranus grabbed Pluto Knight around his neck and pulled him up to eye level.

"Ok buddy I was being nice and not threatening to hurt you for Setsuna's sake. But since you kidnapped her and are now after Rini your life is about to end. So say your prayers!"

Pluto Knight looked horrified. "What do you mean I kidnapped her? I was with Rini!" He turned to Rini for help, but she just stared at him mortified.

"Liar! Sailor Mercury saw you sneak up on her and give her to some Negaverse creep! How dare you. HOW DARE YOU!!" Uranus was ready to turn him into a pile of smoldering ashes.

"What did the Negaverse henchman look like?"

Neptune stepped forward and glared down at him. "She had orange hair with purple eyes. And she was wearing a black dress. But you would know all of this already wouldn't you?" Behind her Chibi Moon gasped. "What is it Chibi Moon?" Neptune turned to look at her.

"That sounds like the woman who stole my time key!"

Pluto Knight thought for a moment. "Your right, that does describe her."

Uranus kept her grip tight around his neck. "You got some nerve! Our friend is missing and all you can think of is saving your own butt!" Sailor Uranus was ready to punch him in the face.

"Listen! We will take Rini to the gates and look for Pluto from there. I'll contact the other scouts and have them meet us at the shrine." Neptune glared over at Pluto Knight. " As for you. You will tag along in case it was you who hurt Sailor Pluto."

Chibi Moon was shocked. Neptune was always calm and level headed, she was the voice of reason. Now she seemed intimidating and cruel. Neptune flipped open her communicator and waited for a reply from the other end.

"Hello? Neptune? This is team Jupiter and Venus."

Neptune blinked. "Team? Where are the others Jupiter?"

"We split up to find Rini faster. Mars and Mercury are a team, and Sailor Moon went to see if she's with Darien."

"Call everyone and tell them to meet us at the shrine we found Rini and Seth."

"You found them both? Ok we'll be there in a minute. See you in a bit, Jupiter and Venus out." 'click'

"Ok let's go." Neptune picked up Sailor Chibi Moon and started off towards the temple. Sailor Uranus grabbed Pluto Knight around the waist and hoisted him onto her shoulder.

"What are you doing? Put me down!" Pluto Knight was looking extremely harassed.

"I don't trust you to follow on your own so I'm taking you. Now shut up and hold on tight." Uranus huffed once and started running towards the shrine.

Negaverse-Setsuna's room:

Setsuna once again woke up in the room with the red and black hangings. She sat up and looked around, something on the small table caught her eye. She picked it up, it was the Negamoon chocker that she had been wearing earlier.

Setsuna looked at the door. She could hear some ones footsteps coming towards her room. She laid back down and closed her eyes. A moment later the door opened and the footsteps continued until they were next to her.

"Hmf! What does Daios want with her! She's not even pretty." Setsuna was getting annoyed at the comments that this person was making.

Setsuna opened her eyes and aimed a punch straight at the strangers face. Her fist connected and the woman was knocked down to floor. Setsuna looked down at her and realized who she looked like. "Beryl? But Princess Serenity killed you!" The woman looked Setsuna in the face.

"I'm not Beryl! Beryl was a fool and a baka! I am General Sia of the Negaforce!" Setsuna jumped out of the bed and ran for the door. "Get back here you rotten scout! Ugh!" Setsuna's fist had hit Sia's nose and she was bleeding all over her dress and the floor.

"I will escape from this horrible underworld you monsters call home!" Setsuna got to the door and pulled it open. She was seized by two pairs of hands. They were youma. "Wha..? Let me go!"

Sia stood up and walked over to Setsuna. "Turn her around minions." The youma turned so that Sia and Setsuna were face to face. "You are one arrogant Senshi, and when King Daios is tired of you then I will have the pleasure of killing you." Sia slapped Setsuna hard in the face.

Setsuna didn't wince or show any sign of pain. Sia was getting angrier. "You may act like it doesn't hurt, but I can see through that tough face. Your scared and you still can't believe that your precious knight betrayed you. Ha! You are weak and pathetic, and you are nothing compared to me and the great King Daios!" At these words Setsuna lost all composure and spit in Sia's face.

"You evil witch.....how dare you speak of what you don't know." Sia wiped the spit off her face and glared at Setsuna. Sia brought a hand up to Setsuna's face and held it there.

"You will regret that Senshi." Sia stood up straight and punched Setsuna in the stomach. Setsuna lurched over and started to gasp for air. "Let her go and stay outside her door. See to it that she doesn't escape." With that Sia wiped some of the blood from her face and left the room followed by the youma. Setsuna fell to the floor trying to catch her breath.

"Uhhhh........" She had tears running down her cheeks. They weren't from Sia's slap or punch, they were tears for her friends. She hoped Small Lady was still safe and that the scouts were still alright.

Hikawa Shrine-Chamber of the Sacred Fire:

Everyone was back at the shrine. It was about 8 o'clock in the morning. Serena and Darien (He has finally made his appearance, it took him long enough ' hehehe) were comforting a trembling Rini. Haruka was watching over Seth. Michiru was confirming what happened since Setsuna had woken up, everything from her apology to the finding of Rini and Seth. Lita was holding her head in confusion.

"So Setsuna was having nightmares? And now she's been kidnapped by the Negaverse? This is bad."

Michiru sighed. "We need to find her before they have a chance to do anything to her."

Amy looked worried. "If they wipe her memories then we are all doomed..." Luna was watching everyone, all of them were worried, but none of them were as troubled as Rini.

Serena held Rini tighter. "Setsuna has a strong will. I know she'll come out of this alright, we all will." Rini looked up at Serena's face with tearstains visible on her cheeks.

"I hope your right Serena." Rini stood up, her face was hidden beneath her bangs. "Lets go......save Puu." Serena and Darien stood up next to Rini and nodded in agreement.

Haruka stepped forward. "I say we bust in grab Setsuna and blast our way out again!" Michiru watched Haruka make her statement.

"We can't do that."

Haruka looked at her girlfriend. "Why not? We have the strength."

Michiru frowned. "I know we do but..."

"But nothing! Setsuna would do the same for us! Why shouldn't we do it for her? We should rush in and…"

"We need a well thought out plan. We're not even sure of where the entrance to the Negaverse is located. How are we supposed to..."

"We'll find it one way or another but we won't find it if we are sitting around doing absolutely nothi..."

"QUIET!"

Everyone turned to look at Rini. "We have to save Puu. Haruka's right she would do it for any of us,"

Haruka nodded. "See." Michiru gave her a look and Rini continued.

"But Michiru is also right, we need a plan." Haruka and Michiru looked at each other. "Good now all we need to do is find out where we can enter the Negaverse."

Serena put her hand on Rini's shoulder. "I know where the entrance to the Negaverse is." Haruka, Michiru, and Rini turned to look at her. The inner scouts all nodded to one another. They had almost forgotten about the final fight with Queen Beryl.

"Serena you know how to get to the Negaverse?" Rini looked hopefully up at Serena.

Serena closed her eyes. She didn't remember much about the final fight. She knew that Luna had restored her memories about the battle but it all seemed a bit fuzzy. It felt like it had happened centuries ago. Luna and Artemis sat in front of Rini and the other girls.

Serena looked down at the cats. "I remember now. We used the Sailor Teleport!" Artemis looked at Luna and nodded.

"Yes, we teleported to the Negaverse Base at the D-point at the North Pole." Serena and the other inner scouts nodded.

"Serena is that the only way to get there?"

Serena looked at Michiru. "I think so but I'm not sure."

Amy had out her computer and was checking out her information. "No, there is one other way."

Michiru walked over to her and looked at the computer screen. "What is the other way Amy?"

"Well, we could use one of their portals."

Michiru nodded. "That would be a bit more dangerous than using the Sailor Teleport, but it would provide us with a direct path into the Negaverse itself." Serena and the other girls nodded in agreement. "Then it's settled we go in through a portal and rescue Sailor Pluto from King Daios!"

No one was paying much attention to Seth so he took his chance and started to crawl towards the door. He was almost close enough to slide it open and escape so he could save Setsuna alone, when two pairs of feet stepped in front of him.

"Going somewhere?"

"Yeah don't you know its bad manners to skip out of custody?"

Seth looked up into the faces of Lita and Haruka. "I was uhh just looking for the bathroom...heh heh..."

Lita and Haruka grabbed him by the collar and threw him against the wall. "You are going to help us whether you like it or not!" And so Seth sat in a corner while the scouts' formulated a plan to save Sailor Pluto.
