Taeniaea- glad you like it! and thanks for the review!

jackie- short summary! Missy 9 was an alien who possessed Hotaru, and the witches 5 were actually normal school girls that turned bad and were given powers. so no, they can't be brought back. and it realy doesn't say if the Heart crystals or Sailor Crystals are related really. so i'm making some of this up as i go. glad you liked it and thanks for the review!

Harpygirl- like he ever remembers to learn a lesson. i know it sucks, but Haruka had to be, well, out of comission, in order to tick the others off. plus i need the bad freaks to get stronger. they're to weak. lol glad you liked it and thanks for the review!

bluedragonflyofdestiny- Don't Give Him Idea's! Tenshi- :comes out in a pink dress and starts singing.: Spirit- too late. :sighs: unfortunatly he doesn't do that in the story...but i might now that i've actually seen him do it. oh and if you meant why the bad guys don't get him, well that's because he's just a Grim Reaper, he has no crystal. thanks for the review!

Disclaimer-Spirit doesn't own anything. well i do own the plot but that's it. oh and Titan, the demon dude, and the youma. k?k.

88 Last Time 88

"But why did you give him that crystal. You could have used it for yourself."

"I don't know what were to happen if I did keep it. Think of Dartz as my test subject. Now leave me be, I must go and find another body." with that the demon disappeared from the room. Leaving Moray to figure out who to strike next.

88 This Time 88

Hotaru sighed as she got herself some tea. Haruka's life force had started draining fast. Tenshi and herself had to give her a little of their own to keep her alive longer. Most of the others were out snooping around the dark crystal, trying to find a way in. Only a few were left at the house. Mainly Alister, Marik, Tea, Serenity, and Mokuba. Then of course there was Rei and Haruka. Rei had gotten better, but the others didn't think she would be up for it if there was another attack. The violet eyed girl leaned up against the counter and slowly drank her tea. The warm liquid refreshed her a bit and she smiled.

Healing too much always made her weak, and get in a bad mood. Tenshi had warned the others to stay clear for awhile. All except Joey had taken the warning seriously. Joey of course almost ended up with his head ripped off when he wouldn't stop singing after the first time she said to quit it. Since then, she hadn't seen much of anybody. She wasn't complaining though, she liked to have piece and quiet every once in awhile.

Taking the cup with her she went back up to where Haruka's room was. She would be fine for another two hours, but Hotaru wanted to watch her in case anything happened. Usually when their crystals were taken the enemy also destroyed the body, and even if the body was left behind, they would have gotten the crystal back in time. So she didn't know if there would really be any side-effects that could be fatal.

When she got in the room she sat down on the chair next to the bed, and began to read. Every once in awhile she would look up to see if anything changed. The house was totally silent. Tea and Serenity were out by the pool, Rei was with Marik in the living room watching tv. She had no clue where Alister was, he might not even be home.

Suddenly a garnet light filed the room and Hotaru got up. After a few moments the light faded and a beaten up Pluto appeared, carrying a very pale Makoto and Ami.
Hotaru gasped. "What happened?" she asked.

"Th-their crystals...were taken." Pluto said, then fell to her knees. Hotaru quickly rushed over and help her up. They then set Makoto and Ami on two cots Hotaru brought out. She checked over them for anything serious. It looked like they had put up one hell of a fight. Even Ami had several defense wounds. That meant the enemy was right on them. "I got there too late to help. The woman, Kanna almost took my own crystal as well."

"Are you hurt anywhere? I can heal it if you want."

Pluto shook her head. "No, tend to them first." Hotaru nodded and turned back around. Something didn't feel right though. Why hadn't the two tried to contact them? If they knew they couldn't handle it they would have called. She knew it couldn't have been a surprise attack, she doubted they would have had so many battle wounds then. Something else had to have happened.

"Pluto, why didn't they contact us?" she asked.

"I don't know, but they did contact me. That's how I knew they were in trouble." Hotaru nodded, then what the green haired woman said played again in her mind. She stood up and turned to look at her. Pluto just looked back at her confused. Suddenly Hotaru brought out her pen.

"SATURN PLANET POWER!" Pluto looked at her in shock. Saturn now emerged and brought out her glaive. "SATURN GLAIVE SURPRISE!"

The attack sent the green haired senshi crashing through the window and into the back yard. Tea and Serenity screamed and got up. Saturn jumped out and landed gracefully just below the second story window. In no time Rei, Marik, Mokuba, and Alister were out, wondering what was going on. They saw Pluto slowly getting up and Saturn glaring at her.

"You're not Pluto! Pluto would have known ahead of time if one of us was to be attacked. Plus Makoto and Ami would have contacted one of us first, knowing very well that the real Pluto had to guard the Time Gates!" Saturn shouted.

'Pluto' sneered at her. Her hair then became white and her eyes turned to their emerald green. It was Kanna. "You're a lot smarter then those other two. They had thought I was the real Pluto, even when I attacked them."

Hotaru's glare intensified. Rei made to transform but Hotaru held her hand up as a signal to stop. "Don't Rei! You're still weak. I can handle this."

"But Hotaru!" Marik put a hand on the raven haired senshi's shoulder and shook his head. Rei nodded then got out her communicator to call the others back.

Kanna glared at the senshi. "You think you can take me alone?" this just made Saturn smirk.

"Please, I know I can. SATURN GLAIVE SURPRISE!" she shouted and released her attack. Kanna brought up a small barrier to block it. What she didn't see was that Saturn had charged behind it. The senshi then jumped up, glaive raised. Kanna just barely brought out her staff in time to block, but was pushed to her knees by the sudden force. Saturn pushed off and landed. Without wasting time she charged again. Kanna got up and blocked her. She countered the attack but the violet eyed girl managed to duck in time then kick her in the stomach.

The white haired demon clutched her stomach, giving Saturn time to get up and do a roundhouse kick to her face. Kanna flew several feet, but landed on her hands and knees. She wiped the blood that flowed out of her mouth. She was beginning to realize why this senshi was called the Messiah of Silence. The woman quickly jumped out of the way of another attack and shot one of her own from the sky.

Saturn brought up her glaive and cried, "SILENCE WALL!" a barrier came up and blocked her from the attack. Kanna glared, how was she going to kill this senshi? Saturn didn't give her much time to think though for she called out another attack where ribbons wrapped around her ankles and wrists. Kanna struggled to get out of them, but realized she had dropped her staff to the ground. Looking down she saw the senshi smirk and yank the ribbons down. Kanna painfully met the ground below her.

"Where are the other's crystals and where is Pluto?" Saturn asked walking over to her.

Kanna glared over at her. "They're not here, my brother has them now. And that means you won't ever get them back."

"Where's Pluto?"

Kanna just laughed, "I took her crystal too. She came after I had finished getting your two friends crystals in order to save them. However she wasn't strong enough to take me."

"Well guess what? I am! SATURN DEADLY RING!" A purple like disk came out of her glaive and headed towards Kanna. The demon screamed as she could not find a way out of this one. Soon the ring reached her, and sliced her in half. When it faded Kanna's body disintegrated. Saturn dropped the transformation and fell to her knees gasping. The others quickly rushed over to her.

Alister was the first to reach her and gently helped her up. "You ok?"

She nodded and smiled. "Yeah, I just over did it on the energy spending."

"You were already weak from healing, you shouldn't have fought her on your own." Rei said sternly.

"I know, but I won and I'm not dead." she said sleepily. "Makoto and Ami are upstairs with Haruka. Their crystals taken as well. Pluto's was also taken, but obviously Kanna didn't bring her body back."

"What if it was destroyed?" Marik asked.

Rei shook her head. "Doesn't matter, as long as a senshi's crystal is in tact, that senshi can be brought back."

Alister looked down and found Hotaru was practically falling asleep. At this he picked her up bridal style. "I'm going to take her to her room. She needs to rest." the other five nodded and he walked inside. Once he got into the girls hallway he could hear the front door open. The others had come back, no doubt Rei now had to explain what happened. Oh well, she had Marik, Tea, Serenity, and Mokuba to help her.

He entered the Hotaru's room and lay her down on the bed. After covering her up he was about to leave, when a small hand caught his wrist. He looked down and saw Hotaru was awake, but barely. "Stay." she whispered. Alister nodded and sat on the bed, right next to her. She loosened her grip on his wrist but didn't let go all the way. After a minute or two, she was asleep. The gray eyed teen gently began to stroke her hair and smiled at her.

"You sure look peaceful when you sleep." he whispered, he then leaned down and softly kissed her on the forehead.

Everyone had listened as Rei explained what happened, with the help of Marik. Seto was trying to calm down his brother, who was all excited about the fight. Minako, Michiru, Tenshi, and Three lights looked worried. The enemy now had four sailor crystals, and if they destroyed those crystals then they lost their friends forever. Also Usagi was still in America visiting Mamoro (Darien) and spending time with her family.

Seiya got up at this. "Taiki, Yaten, and I are going to go get Usagi and Mamoro. Can you guys handle us being gone?" he asked.

"We'll be fine, just hurry back with them. If Usagi's crystal is stolen, we won't stand a chance." Michiru said. The three nodded and left the house after calling for their helicopter.

Minako turned to the aqua haired senshi. "Are you sure we'll be ok? What about Usagi?"

Michiru shrugged. "Not even time can tell what's going to happen next."
