Episode 2 Act 3: Aftermath

A news broadcast is cast several times listing Saturn and Jupiter as key suspects to the bombing of police station number 3. Jupiter is listed as being extremely violent and dangerous having already caused numerous injuries and damage. Saturn is listed as being unpredictable, armed and dangerous. The broadcast states that if either of them are seen they should not be approached under any circumstances and that the police should be notified.

Waking up on the couch at Lita's place Amy wonders what all went wrong the previous night, where was Luna and Artemis, and why things are getting back to the unusual meetings and events like back in Junior high, and High school. She gets up slowly, as she thinks about how she liked the calm life her and her friends were having over the past 2 or so years just studying, and having fun. "Guess I'll clean up a bit then go find Hotaru, and Michelle." She folds the comforter she had, and puts it away. Then she goes and takes a shower and puts on some clothes she left here last year. She leaves a note to Lita
'Thank you for bringing me to your place to stay after the events of last night, I'm off to find Hotaru I'll let you know if I find any other info.
-Amy'
She places the note on the end table by Lita's bed, grabs a rice ball since she loves Lita's cooking, and goes out the door quietly. "I wonder where Hotaru might be?" Amy walks down the street eating the rice ball, a little habit she picked up from Serena.

Hotaru woke up and as the sun hit her eyes. She opened them and yawned. She hardly remembered the events taking place after Krahazik had vanished before her eyes.

Amy walks by the park not noticing Hotaru on the bench eating the rice ball, she kinda looks like Serena right now "Mmmmn. Where could have they gone to?" She munches a bit on the rice ball again.

Hotaru called to Amy. "Amy, what's up?" Hotaru yawned.

"Hmmm?" Amy looks over and sees Hotaru calling her, she walks over just finishing the rice ball she got from Lita's place "Hey are you ok?" Amy hugs her.

"Yes, I believe so." Hotaru replied.

"That's good. You don't remember what happened last night do you?" Amy says still hugging Hotaru, like she trying to protect a little sister.

Hotaru nodded softly. "Everything up to Krahazik disappearing, leaving me in the shadows.

"Okay. You want to come with me to Lita's place, we need to figure out what we're gonna do." Amy says. She scans the area with her eyes watching for any odd movement or people.

"Umm...sure." Hotaru said.

"Okay, let's go." Amy lets go of Hotaru, and grabs her hand, "You know I haven't helped you with any projects lately. I could give you some pointers to help you get into that medical class at your school." Amy mentions this to lighten the mood of the atmosphere, while they walk.

"Well, I would like to get in...but I'm only in Junior High."

"You can never start to early, if you want to be in the medical field." Amy smiles.

As Amy and Hotaru walk by a mother and her child they over here the child as she points up at the sky. The moon is barely visible in the morning light. "Momy, why is the moon black?"

Hotaru rolled her eyes and smiled sadly at the little boy. "It's black because something sad happened, little one."

Amy looked at the child, "It will be ok, you don't have to worry." Amy smiled at the child, and continued talking to Hotaru, "Yeah...it will be alright. Oh and about the medical class, we can get you credit toward the class if you want to spend a day at the hospital with me next week. You do still want to be a nurse right?" Amy says trying not to get worried about the other scouts.

"Of course I do!" Hotaru said happily. "I'm really good at healing people."

"See I knew you still wanted to, just like I want to be a doctor. And some day we might even work in the same hospital." Amy says happily.

"That would be fun," Hotaru says. She smiles happily.

"It would." Amy laughed and looked up toward Lita's apartment, "I wonder if Lita's still sleeping?"

"She might be. Last night was...hard." Hotaru looked down.

"Well Hotaru I guess all we can do is go up and knock." Amy smiles some more, and heads for the stairs.

"Yes, that's what we'll have to do...but shouldn't we check on Michelle? Krahazik really hurt her last night." Hotaru frowned.

"What! In what way did he hurt her?" Amy gets worried and grabs Hotaru, "Ok let's go to Michelle's place, I'll just call Lita from Michelle's" Amy rushes off towards Michelle's.

"She loved him and when he...when he did what he did..." Hotaru trailed off and followed Amy.

"Loved him? But that's not possible, he couldn't have anything to do with the knights could he?" Amy says sounding confused, as she still remembers that for every sailor scout there is a knight that is mirrored from them.

"Possibly. And yes, she did love him, and mostly still does."

Michelle did not leave her apartment since the night she had seen Krahazik destroying her city. The pain in her heart was not gone, she still needed questions answered that only he could give the answers to... like why had he done it? What happened to him? ... and did he love her? Michelle stood on her balcony looking out on the city, her song filling the air and carrying across the city, in hopes that Krahazik would hear it and follow it back to her.

'Everybody's got something they had to leave behind.
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time.
There's no use looking back or wondering
how it could be now or neither been.
All this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

I never had a dream come true
Till that day that I found you.
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby.
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day,
And I know no matter where love takes me to
A part of me will always be with you.

Ever since that knight the moon has been a sad kind of black, as if it were eclipsed, ever since you and Krahazik last parted. The police are still looking for the sailors that were there for questioning.

Michelle just sat on her balcony and continued to sing... still praying that he would come to her.

Amy rounds the corner and sees Michelle on the balcony, "Michelle! Hey Michelle!" Amy waves at Michelle.

Michelle heard Amy but paid no attention to her, she was till singing, and watching out for Krahazik. Tears beginning to fall from her eyes.
