Recap:

Both girls were given the same story, and both could answer 'no' to it. Now Mina and Lita were the only scouts left. But what were two sailor scouts going to do about a whole group of Negaverse scum?

(this is with the scouts)

Chapter 9 (?)

Mina left her house, her mother was asleep and she wasn't feeling up to sleeping. 'Amy's gone too,' She thought miserably, 'What's going on?' she asked herself, rubbing her too dry cheeks; she'd long stopped crying, all her tears spent.

As she meandered down she remembered times when the scouts had battled together, 'Sailor Moon had always come true for me, when I needed her; now it's my turn.' She thought as she walked down a sidewalk, ending up right smack infront of the Arcade. As she stared at the empty and closed game stations, thunder and lightening cracked over head.

Mina turned and looked at the sky, 'That's strange, I don't remember the weather saying that we'd be having a thunderstorm.' She thought as she stared at the overcast skies.

Meanwhile at the entrance to the park, Lita stood staring at a tree. Her emerald green eyes had lost it's shine, and her cheeks were no longer rosy with joy. Her shoulders slumped slightly, a pose of defeat in the young woman. As she stared at the tree shone with memory.

Memories

Serena was sitting against the tree her cheeks were crimson and she was panting underneath the tree's shade. Rei was dressed in her normal skirt and shirt set and her eyes were blazing with fury. "MEATBALL HEAD? WHAT IS YOU'RE PROBLEM? ARE YOU SO OUT OF SHAPE THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN WALK TO THE PARK FROM THE ARCADE IN ONE PIECE?" Also under the tree was Amy, who was reapplying sunscreen on Rini, "Ok Rini, that was it!" "THANKS AMY!!" Amy laughed as Rini through her small arms around her, both of them looked to Serena who was panting like a dog left in a car on a hot day. Rei was seething, and laying on the grass, on the stomachs, were Lita and Mina, both cooing over some hot guys by an icecream stand.

"OOOO I like the brown-haired one! He's so hot!" Mina exclaimed giggling, while Lita nodded and pointed to a blue haired boy that stood off to the side, waiting, "No, he's the one truly worth our time! He reminds me so much of my old boyfriend!" Her voice was a sigh as she giggled along with Mina, ignoring the argument between Rei and Serena.

"Hey girls!" From down the way stepped Haruka, her sandy-blonde hair was being gently brushed by the wind, beside her walked Michiru, her own aqua- blue hair was wind blown and tousled. Both girls waved, Haruka was wearing shorts and a white t-shirt, Michiru was in her black shorts and white tanktop. Between them skipped Hotaru, who was waving and laughing, as they neared she broke into a run, her raven colored hair flapping behind her, her laughter filling the air, as her amethyst eyes glinted in the sunlight, "RINI!" She called as she approached, she bounced on the sidewalk, clasping her friend in a tight hug.

Of all the faces, Serena's stood out, her cerulean blue eyes were never at a loss to mirror her emotions. From the sadness of losing a friend, to anger at Rei's course words, everything could be observed in her eyes. The next that stood out was Amy, her eyes were the softed blue always kind and alert. They mirrored the strength in the meek girl, the intellgence that many took to be nerdy, and the kind hearted fealty that lit her heart. After those two was Rei, her own eyes were the eyes of a warrior, the wise eyes of a woman used to seeing far and wide. Sprit played through them giving energy to all those around her.

Back to Lita

Lita rubbed a tear from her cheek as thunder and lightening crackled over head. She sniveled, and turned her forest green eyes skywards. 'I swear upon my soul that I will get all my friends back!' Lita took in a deep breath as it suddenly began to pour down on her, she lifted her face allowing the raindrops to roll down her cheeks, mingling with her own tears. 'The heavens are crying with me.' Lita thought as the sky blue droplets slowly soaked through her clothes, drenching her in salty tears.

Mina was strolling down the streets, her shoulder were slumped over in defeat as she walked, her eyes were red and swollen and the sheets of rain did nothing to improve her mood. As she walked she could feel her rain- soaked heavy blonde hair weighing her down, her heart was sore from the losses and her soul was cut and bleeding. Physically, mentally, and emotionally Mina was beaten, 'There is nothing I can do, I've only got me and Lita left, and I've not a clue where the others are!'

Mina's blue eyes stayed on the floor before her as she shuffled forward, as she walked she suddenly bumped into someone. "OH I'M TERRIBLY SORRY!" She gasped, not looking up until she had bounced away, blushing at her mistake. She was met with a set of garnet colored eyes, and shimmering green hair, that was, odd as it was, not even wet from the downpour.

"SETSUNA!" Mina gasped, startled to find the sailor scout of time and dimensions standing before her looking grim. "Mina, there's some bad news! I've got to get you back to my chambers; Lita's gone, so we can't get her." She spoke icily, her eyes dark with worry and concern; ruby colored lips pursed in discontent. Her knuckles where a tight white color as she grasped her staff; her other hand was a clenched fist also white.

Mina took a deep breath and let it out again, frantic now, "WHAT'S GOING ON SETSUNA? WHAT DO YOU MEAN LITA'S GONE? WHAT'S GOING ON? YOU CAN'T JUST KEEP IT A SECRET ANYMORE, THIS IS DANGEROUS! WITHOUT THE OTHERS WHAT CAN I DO?" She wailed in hysteria, her eyes wide with panic. "We have to go now, Sailor Venus. This is the time when us sailor scouts pull together, we must find the other scouts, and pull through together. Let me warn you, Venus, the princess is safe, she is going through a test. That is all, now it's the other scouts that I'm worried about. Come, we've no time to talk here, it's dangerous."

Mina nodded, then stopped looking around, no one was around, the rain had scared many people off, the only signs that the streets weren't deserted were the cars that drove slowly by. "I've got to transform don't I?" Setsuna shook her head, "Yes." She turned, "Come Mina." She then walked to the arcade window, and opened a small portal, just large enough to step into.

As the two women stepped into the arcade entrance, Lita started to walk into the park, her emerald green eyes were bright with her unshed tears, and her hair hung limply, sticking to her face dripping wet. As she walked by she stopped, wincing in the pouring rain she could barely make out a figure standing with her back to Lita. "Who," She murmurs as she hurries closer, bending forward, her right hand raised shielding her eyes. As she walks closer she finds that the wind starts to blow against her, the figure turned around hair shimmering and golden as rain droplets seemed to hit a shield of golden light that seemed to surround her.

"SERENITY-HIME!" Her scream filled the air as a large bolt of lightening suddenly struck the city, all at once the lights went out, leaving the park in pitch blackness. Seconds later the light flickered lightly, leaving a view of a tattered green umbrella and the mark of the lightening's touchdown site. Lita was gone.

Author's Note:

I'm sorry for fooling everyone. Chapter 11, the chap that I uploaded previously was not truly a new chapter. T_T I. I. umm. heh, I kind of just deleted it off fanfiction.net and then re-uploaded it. Sorry.

And to pay for that crime, I've made the worst chapter ever. T_T
