It didn't take long to get a hold of everyone and begin the search.
In Rei's temple, Ami sat on the floor, furiously typing into her computer. Leaning over her shoulder, knelt Zoicite, his eye fixed on the data streaming across the screen. Occasionally one of them would make some cryptic, half sentence that the other would understand and a new fury of typing would begin. In the corner, Serena sat huddled in Darien's arms, waiting for Ami to work her miracles. Rei was in the other room, meditating before the sacred fire and helping the search with her own talents. Mina was talking on her cell phone outside, on the temple's porch, trying to explain to her partner why she was going to be unavailable for an uncertain amount of time. She was keeping as close to the truth as possible. She had simply told Alex that a friend of hers brother had gone missing and she was going to be staying with her friend to help her though things. Meanwhile, Luna and Artemis had been sent to go play spy at Serena's parent's home and see if they could learn anything. They were the only ones that no one would ever suspect and question their presence.
"Hmm...that's odd..." Ami muttered, pointing to the screen
"But that..." Zoicite's brow furrowed in confusion.
"I know."
"Are you sure...?" Zoicite's question drifted off.
"I've already checked a couple times." Ami said, understanding the question even though no one else did.
Darien walked over to the pair and knelt down besides them as Mina came in and took his place comforting Serena, "What do you have?"
Zoicite glanced at his Prince for a moment and then began pointing at the columns of numbers scrolling across the screen, "Apparently some sort of portal was opened up in Sam's room."
"But what is weird is that it looks like something changed the path of the people that were going through it, changing the energy flows dramatically." Ami added.
"Damn. So it is the this new enemy." Darien swore.
"We knew that something like this could happen. Especially since they seem to know who we all really are." Ami said, still staring at the numbers on her screen.
"Can you figure out where they actually ended up?" Darien asked hopefully.
"Not exactly. That sudden change in there teleporting did some weird things to their trajectory." Zoicite said.
"But we can give you a rough idea of where they did land. From there we should be able to see if they teleported again or if they stayed in that area. We just can't get any good reading from here. The distance is too far."
Rei stood up, exhaustion written clearly across her features, "We have to hurry. They are in danger."
Serena's head snapped up, "They?"
"Sam and his protectors." Rei replied.

Lita was taking the rare opportunity to actually cook. Usually, with only herself to feed and having the bar to run it simply wasn't worth making a lot of food. But she had a guest to spoil, regardless of how unexpected that guest was.
The kitchen was organized chaos and Sam had retreated with Lass onto the couch after half heartedly asking if he could help. Lita knew herself too well to allow anyone else into her domain. She was likely to run them over. The Rotweiler had already learned this lesson and was perfectly willing to wait for the results of her owners weird actions.
Lita smiled as she removed the last dish from the oven and placed it into its bowl. The smells had already drawn Sam to the table. Lass, looking equally expectant, was laying underneath Lita's chair, her tail thumping against the floor.
Dinner was relatively quiet, all three occupants concentrating most of their energy on their food. Only the occasional whimper from under the table when scraps became scarce and the appreciative noises of her guest broke the companionable silence.
Lita didn't mind. She always thought really good food deserved this type of attention anyways. Plus, the silence gave her a chance to think. Ever since she had done her research she hadn't been able to shake the feeling that Sam was being specifically targeted by those monsters. She had found lots of reports of attacks but never anything about kidnapping and it puzzled her. There was nothing too exceptional about the boy. Well, other than the fact that he was from half way around the world and had been brought here by a monster.
As if the thought had summoned the creature, the window above her couch suddenly shattered as the same cat-like monster that she had fought earlier burst through it.
Lita grabbed Sam and ran for the door. Lass was crouched down, growling, between the monster and the two retreating humans. As Lita pushed Sam down the stairs, she turned in time to see Lass lunge at the monster. Glistening claws sliced through dog flesh as Lass was swatted away. A small whimper rose from her dog as she hit the floor and slid into the far wall.
Lita instantly ran back, grabbing her claymore as she did from its place by the door. There was no way she was leaving Lass behind. Bruised muscles protested the weight of the sword as she raised it into a defensive stance. She wasn't going to be able to fight this thing. Not again. Not this soon after their last fight. Her only hope was that it was still feeling some of the effects of their last fight as well.
"That the bloody hell!?"
Lita glanced at the door where Zak stood. The monster took advantage of her momentary distraction to attack her, swiping at her with it claws. Lita saw it coming too late and only barely managed to get her sword between herself and the monster, blocking most of the claws. The monster managed to push her back against the far wall though, pinning her there.
"Get everyone out of here." Lita yelled, not taking her attention off the thing in front of her again, even to see if Zak did as she said.
She finally managed to wiggle enough to get some leverage. Using strength that she would have sworn she didn't have, Lita was able to kick off of the wall behind her, causing the monster to stumble backward and giving her a chance to break free of its grasp.
From the table she grabbed the glass of Coke she been drinking and threw it into the monsters eyes. Its paws instantly flew up to try and protect its eyes and Lita made a choice. She dropped her claymore and swept up her dog into her arms. There was no way she could have carried both. Making a dash for the door, she concentrated on running, ignoring the crashing sounds behind her.
She practically fell down the stairs, her own pain and exhaustion combined with the weight of the dog in her arms to make her clumsy. Downstairs, a few last scared patrons were exiting. Zak was beginning to charge back up the stairs when he saw her.
"Where's Sam?" Lita yelled over the commotion.
"Who?" Zak asked, confused.
The sound of a roar upstairs spurred Lita into action. She thrust Lass into Zak's arms.
"Take her to the vet. Quickly! I've got to finish dealing with this."
"No! I'm not leaving you to deal with this alone!" Zak yelled back as the monster finally made it down stairs.
* * * * *
Serena and the others landed in the area that Ami and Zoicite had found. It was an alley. From several blocks away, the sounds of fighting and panicking people could be heard.
"And I thought this might be hard." Mina said as they ran towards the commotion.
A mob of people were standing outside of a small pub, pointing and shouting while inside two people seemed to be arguing over a dog. Just then a large monster came charging down the stairs and attacked the pair.
"Venus Love Chain Encircle!" Sailor Venus yelled, a golden chain shooting out from her to wrap around the feet of the charging cat.
The pair spun to stare at the Scouts. Serena, the closest, gasped as a familiar brunette turned to the man holding a dog and pushed him.
"Mars Celestial Fire Surround!" Serena snapped her attention back to the monster which was dodging the rings of fire being shot at it by Mars.
* * * * *
Lita stared in momentary surprise at the arrival of the Sailor Scouts. She had no idea where they had come from but she wasn't about to question it right now. She shoved Zak out the door of the pub and away from the fighting.
"Get Lass to the vet. I have to find Sam!" Lita yelled at him, turning away with a quick prayer to whatever deities were listening that Lass would be alright.
For a moment she allowed herself to watch in awe as the Scouts fought the monster. The fighting all happened so fast that limbs and claws were nothing but a blur. Fire appeared out of no where and Lita was momentarily glad that her insurance was covered for flood and fire.
Shaking herself out of the slight stupor she had been in, she began to search through the mob for Sam.
"Lita!" a familiar voice yelled and she saw Sam waving madly at her.
She ran towards him, "We have to get out of here."
Sam nodded and the pair of them ran down the street.
"Where do you think you two are going?" a cold voice asked from behind them.
Lita turned slowly to see a man, floating several feet in the air. He had fiery red hair and was glaring down at them. She grabbed Sam and ran. She knew that she was too beat up right now to fight again but she was still determined to protect Sam. She may not know why all these people were after him but she was sure that it wasn't good.
A black ball of fire sped past, narrowly missing them, as Lita shoved Sam down a side street. Constantly ducking through the twisted back streets, she was hoping to lose anyone who was following them.
Unfortunately, the guy with the red hair wasn't following the plan and getting lost. He was keeping up with them through the alleys and streets. The occasional blast of fire would indicate when he was closing in. Lita was getting the feeling though that he wasn't really trying to hurt them.
Just then, another ball of black fire was thrown and this one hit Lita in the shoulder, dropping her to her knees on the ground.
"Give up the boy and this will all be over." that same cold, masculine voice said.
Correction, he wasn't trying to hurt Sam. She was apparently fair game. And that had hurt a lot.
Grabbing a large rock at her feet, Lita spun towards her attacker and threw it at him. He disappeared, reappearing a moment later several feet farther away with a look of anger. Lita didn't wait to trade further witty remarks with him, getting up and sprinting after Sam instead.
After several blocks, the community school began to spread out before them. Lita managed to find one last burst of energy as she ran faster towards the campus. She had a half formed plan now. Hope and adrenaline were amazing things.
At the very first building, she slammed open the doors.
The entire campus was built on a set of tunnels so that in the winter no one had to go outside to get from building to building. If they could get into the tunnels, they stood a better chance of losing that red headed guy.
* * * * *
"Moon Scepter Elimination!" Sailor Moon yelled, finishing off the beaten monster.
As the monster disintegrated, Sailor Moon looked around frantically in the crowd.
"Did you see him?" Mercury asked, noticing the search.
"No! I saw Jupiter!"
"What!?!" Mars said, also turning to scan the crowd.
"But how?" Tuxedo Mask asked.
"I have no idea, but I saw her." Serena cried, frustration filling her voice.
"If she was really here, then she is probably one of the protectors looking after Sam that the Fire told me about." Rei said.
"We have to find them. Everyone spread out and search." Serena ordered.
The others nodded. Serena and Rei took to the roof tops. Ami and Mina took the main road while Darien and Zoicite headed off down the opposite direction. Artemis and Luna stayed closer to the pub, looking for any clues as to where either Jupiter or Sam had gone.

Hey all! Don't kill me, please? I was going to update after I moved back to WI here but then my computer got this horrid virus that killed all executables. I had to take it in to the shop and it cost me. But I did finally get around to writing this. But if I miss anyone here, I'm really sorry! I blame evil viruses.
Okay, well, enough of the sob story.
MoonWonderer - Hey! Always glad to see that you haven't abandoned reading this entirely. Don't worry, I'll forgive the lack of reviews. Especially when you are so cool when you do review. And I'm glad you liked the comparisons of Serena and Darien. It was just one of those things that came out while I was writing it.
Lil-PrincessK - Cool. I wasn't sure how people would take Serena's mother. I don't really want people to hate Serena's parents. At least not yet...Anyways, don't fire me yet! I'll bring out the next chapter sooner than this one. Promise!
Silver Dragonfly - Lita may be in the team again soon but my plans for her wont be over quite that quickly.
Sailor Momoiro Hoshi - lol. You keep bribing me with cookies and I'll keep writing. Promise. Ooh! Mt Dew also works, just in case you want to keep some cookies for yourself.
Bluejello - Cool! I was wondering if anyone would guess that it was Pluto. And yep, things are definitely coming to a head. Should be a lot of fun.
firelightz - this is why I had to bring back Ami before I could get Lita. Ami can find anything on that computer of hers.
kalinda - I promise to try and get out the next chapter sooner. I'm kinda excited about the surprise that will occur in it.
KhmerGirl - Thanks! Hope your still with me and liking this.
Jedi Master Calriel - hee hee. You are so right. About so many things. Right now I am still debating if Sam finds out who Serena is or not. I've got two ideas, dealing with her family thread in this story and they depend on Sam. Though I am leaning towards them finding out the truth. We'll see how it all works.
animechrisy (missanime@hotmail.com) - what was long? The story or the chapter? I'll agree that the story is getting long. *sigh* I seriously am considering breaking it up into two parts.
lazzykane - I know! Helios was the only person I could have as Reni's partner when she was evil. I just loved that idea and had to go with it. I am glad you like!
Mercurial1 - sorry sorry sorry. I promise to try to do better on the updates. Really. I hope this was worth the wait though.
Jabba1 - heh. I'm glad you like that little Serena/Darien's butt thing. I thought some humor was needed there. And seriously, who wouldn't check out Darien's butt?!?
JerseyGirl03 - No Star Lights. Nope. Not going to do it. Nope nope nope. Too many people already. I promise ::holds up hand:: to bring in Nephrite and Pluto. All other characters are currently in limbo. hee hee. Though if Jadeite gets brought in you should all pity that boy. As for the other outers, I'm thinking of leaving them out but we'll see. In my mind, they already know who and what they are so it is totally up to them whether they help out Serena or not.
demoiselle Perenelle - hee. Thanks. I'm really glad you liked this and I hope you still are reading.
BenRG - Yea...I got plans for Rubeus. He's going to be beaten. Badly. As for the "wonder weapon"...to be perfectly honest, I'm still working on that. Hopefully it'll be cool though.
happygolucky111 - hee. And here my excuse was going to involve something like rabid bunnies from the moon kidnapping him to steal his brain...
