Ok, I know this may sound super angsty, but this chapter will lead to good things, I swear it minna-chan! Remember, never drink the red stuff in the fridge and listen to Evanescence at the same time, fics like this are the result of it. Oh, and to Midnight-Nemesis: I know I got the eyes thin from someone else, but the others; let's say I have these really demented Sailor Moon obsessed friends, who call me up and give me ideas. Thanks for alerting me that you'd seen it before! I'll give them hell for it… I hate writing non-original stuff, but this really got me in. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon.

Minako:

"What kind of horror is this?" I gasped out, after screaming. The city, Tokyo, was rubble. Bodies hung limply from skyscrapers, and it was deathly still. I was afraid.

"We have to find Usagi."

I turned to Mars, who had spoken.

"But she's outside! We're in her mind!"

Mars shivered. It scared her to think that Usagi had been living with this for the two weeks since the battle. It cared me too, but we had to save her, take her away from it all.

"There is an Usagi in her mind, one that has been wandering these awful places."

"Mars," Mercury spoke. "Is this what Usagi saw, when she went inside of Pharaoh 90?"

Mars hesitated, then nodded. "Hai."

I knew where Mercury was going with this.

"So if she keeps re-creating what happened then, we have to do everything she did. It will lead us to her, and hopefully she'll help us end this hellish nightmare."

Endymion seemed to be at a loss for words. I could see the sweat beads on his forehead, and I knew this was affecting him horribly. A sleeping Usagi couldn't block him from her mind.

"Let's go then!" I forced my voice to be cheery. "For Usagi-chan!"

There was a round of barely audible 'hai's', and we began to pick our way through the decimated city.

I fingered my chain nervously. This was awful.

"Where would Usagi-chan go first?" I had to speak, and draw everyone out of his or her trance-like state. Jupiter looked down from where she was contemplating the purplish sky.

"The arcade." We immediately took off, not wanting to stay. I tried my best to ignore the traffic cop who looked like he had been running away. His clothing hung in tatters round his body, and I sucked in my breath as I saw his skeleton smile eerily at me.

"You ok, V-babe?"

I smiled at Mercury.

"Of course. There's the arcade. Let's go."

We entered, and I was shocked by the silence. No tinkling bells alerted a cheery blond of our presence.

"Motoki…" Endymion's almost groan brought me away from my daydream. I had to bite my chain to keep from screaming again.

He was always holding onto the rag, even now as its ends curled together, half burnt. His apron had fallen off, unable to stay on his bones any longer with most of it gone. His skeleton was bleached white, and he seemed to be scrambling over the counter.

"Damn them…damn them for making her see this!" I was so surprised to find it was I yelling those words. Me wishing for vengeance. I was trembling now, and could barely walk away from it all.

I looked around. A group of girls had huddled in the corner booth, and one of them had her head half-tilted to a boy, as if flirting. Their bones were set at odd angles, almost as if they were all about to collapse.

I managed to get out. The others followed me.

"Were to now?" My voice was quiet, slightly shaky.

"The school, then her house. Then we can check ours." Tuxedo Kamen answered me. I nodded listlessly, and we set off again.

I couldn't go into the school. Mercury and Mars were the only ones, and they only stood in the front. Mercury scanned the building, and found none of Usagi's signature, so we left pretty quickly. They seemed shaken though. It seems as if several students had been dashing for the doorway when they were hit.

The Tsukino house was different. There was no house. Her enemies seemed to have taken great joy in getting rid of those who harbored her so long, and so lovingly. Most of us ended up retching in the bushes when we found her parents' bodies. I refuse to go into details.

My house was closest. I didn't want to go in. I didn't want to find the horrors. But I had to; for Usagi-chan. I walked in, and I screamed.

Ami:

Venus' scream freaked us all out of our wits, but no one ventured in. She came out a moment later, and her chain was back on her belt.

"They were hung." He only words, and yet they sounded like death tolls. Endymion's apartment came next, as the road to and a truck pile blocked off my house and Mars'.

He had no family, but it was still a shock. Several of his friends, ones from college and so on, were at his apartment. They were setting up for a surprise party; he had won an award from his University.

They had not noticed when they were killed. We were glad that at least they had been killed quickly, if not painlessly.

I was afraid, when we got to my house. I refused for any one of them to come with me. I could have scanned it to see if Usagi was there, but I wanted to see.

It sickens me. I walked into the house, and searched the rooms. I found nothing. Then I heard the water.

I've always loved water; ice is better, but water gave me a special feeling. Sailor Neptune and I, we had shared many a race or talk because of it.

The water drew me in, and I couldn't help but wonder, shouldn't they have turned it off by now? A stupid thought, I know. Everyone was dead, everyone was gone.

It was coming from my mother's bathroom. I marched in, feeling slightly better as I forced myself to be strong. Then I pushed open the door, and my whole world fell apart.

"Mama…" She was lying in the water, and her swimsuit was on. She would have looked so alive, had she not been a pile of bones.

I walked across the bathroom, ignoring the water swirling past my feet and gurgling happily on the carpet of her room. I kneeled next to the bathtub.

"Hi, Mama. I want you to know, I'm a sailor senshi, and I love you." The things I had wanted her to know before she died. I steeled myself; this was not real. It was merely an illusion. But it took all my strength to walk away.

They looked at me, searching for a sign.

"She was in the bathtub. No signs of struggle." My voice was calm, thank the Gods. We headed down the street, to Jupiter's.

Jupiter:

My apartment seemed normal. It really did. But I stepped inside, and I found her. My landlady, who had been like a surrogate mother to me. She had held me as I cried, long into the nights.

She was slumped over my kitchen table, and her skull had a huge dent in it. I was above crying, I felt. Above it, because it was not real.

I stumbled over my next-door neighbor's remains, and down a stairway filled with those in my life. When I got to the front, the tears were there. I shook my head. No Usagi.

Mars' temple was next. We had all cried. I hoped she would not. When we got there, we saw the great Hikawa Shrine, looking as if no evil had ever visited it.

Besides a bloody sky and bar cheery trees, there was nothing to suggest any dead. We all followed behind Mars, until she got to the sliding doors. She opened them. There was silence for a moment, and then she was on her knees. She sounded as if she was hurt, but her sobs were meaningless now.

I now she expected to find Chad (A/N: Forgive me, I can't spell his Japanese name for my life.) and her grandfather. I had seen them, or rather their shadows, perched against the main temple.

But she had seen it too, of that I was sure. What drew her here, to the one section where we had always held our sleepovers? A hope that Usagi was here, maybe.

I stepped in after her, and I felt myself falling.

We had been having tea, apparently. The scene was laid out before us. Our bodies were not skeletons. Our flesh was still tinted pink.

I felt anger rise in me. They had toyed with her. They had made her think we were alive, and she had shaken us, for hours probably.

Rei-chan had an ofuda out, but she was lying on the floor. There was dried blood on her jaw line, and I shivered as the others stepped in. She had had her energy sucked away.

Ami-chan had a small hole in her stomach, and we could see the blood from that had dried around it. A bullet hole; how trivial for the Dark ones.

Minako-chan's chain was tied around her neck, and I heard her gasp behind me. In the very back, I saw Mamorou-san. He had his arms wrapped around something, as if he was trying to protect it. A black rose pierced his heart. I stepped up and moved his arm back.

My heart stopped, and I threw up on the tatami mat as I saw Chibiusa's pale face staring back at me.

Mamorou:

We had never run so fast in our lives, I'm sure. It hurt us all, and when we collapsed, every one of us was sobbing loudly.

My tear-filled eyes looked up, and I realized we were at the base of Tokyo Tower, or what remained of it. My head hurt, as did my heart.

We would not have moved. We did not want to.

Reader:

A flash of gold passed the bedraggled people, and they looked up, startled as they saw Super Sailor Moon in front of them.

"Usagi?" Sailor Venus called out.

Sailor Moon did not turn. She seemed to be panting heavily, and only one Odango remained in her hair. Her outfit was ripped and bloodied, sullied by her wounds.

She fell to her knees, not looking at them. Mars made as if to move to her, but was topped as Sailor Moon was suddenly enveloped in pinkish red blobs.

They looked like the daemons, right before they took on a form. They looked like the ones that they had fought, when Usagi had been inside of Pharaoh 90. But each one had their faces, and that of various people in her life.

"WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME, MOMMY?" A horrible looking Chibiusa roared at her, and she let out a cry.

"YOU IGNORE ME! DO YOU HATE ME?" Naru was shouting in her ear.

"YOU'RE AN AWFUL DAUGHTER! I HATE YOU!" Ikuko was screaming.

"WE DON'T WANT YOU ANYMORE!" Mars sobbed wildly as she saw herself leering in front of Usagi.

"I DON'T LOVE YOU!" Endymion couldn't move as his face brought her down.

"YOU'RE SO STUPID!" Mercury felt sick as she saw Sailor Moon crumble under a creature that looked like her.

"YOU'RE WORTH NOTHING!" Jupiter tore at her hair, desperate to not hear herself saying such cruel words.

"I SHOULD HAVE BEEN LEADER! YOU'LL KILL US!" Venus' eyes were hollow, and she avoided the scene in front of her.

Sailor Moon hugged her body. She could not kill creations with her best friends features.

"Where are you?" She was whispering, but they heard it. "Where are you?"

"MARS FLAME SNIPER!"

"MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY!"

"JUPITER THUNDER DRAGON!"

"VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!"

The blobs fell back, and Endymion held a trembling Sailor Moon in his arms.

"Shh…it's ok, we're here. Please, Usako, we don't want to hurt you."

She shook violently, but did not struggle. Her eyes went down to her arms, as did the senshi's. They gasped. A baby Hotaru looked innocently back at them.

"They were going to kill her, so I took her away, and gave her some of my power to keep her alive. She reverted." Sailor Moon rasped out. Then, a half smile lit her face. "Thank you for coming."

There was a burst of light from her, and the senshi fell to their knees. They were swimming in darkness, all of them, until a purple suited senshi was suddenly there.

"Thank you for helping her." Sailor Saturn smiled. "She needed you, and not us. You are closer to her. We will be watching you."

And once more, they succumbed to the murkiness.

Ok, minna, one chapter after this and I'm done. Tell me what you think, ok? I have the other chapter set up; I just need to fix a few things. Don't worry, it's uploaded!
