Disclaimer: Once, I had a dream that I own Sailor Moon! What? That doesn't count? Awwww...
To Sailor Moon, the hall looked endless. She'd never find Tuxedo Kamen or her way back to the room at this rate! She opened and looked through doors yet none of the room looked even remotely familiar. "What am I going to do?" the heroine wailed.
"You there!" she heard a deep voice behind her.
She spun on her heel to come face-to-face with the caller. She gulped. The voice belonged to the largest of three armored men. Sailor Moon whimpered as she stepped back to look at his face. "I-I didn't do anything, I swear!"
"You're coming with us," the man said.
The blonde's eyes widened. She giggled nervously and backed away slowly. "Well, you see… About that…" Before the potential body-builders could respond, the senshi rushed her way down the hall.
"Hey!" the smallest man called after her. "Come back!"
"Hello?" Rei answered her phone after her relaxing shower. She spoke while drying her wet hair. "Oh, hi, Tsukino-san! What can I help you with?" The miko paused to let the housewife speak. "Usagi-chan? Oh, yes. I know where she is. We're all staying at Mako-chan's house to comfort her. It's the anniversary of her parents' death." There was another pause. "Usagi never told you?" Rei feigned surprise. "I'm so sorry, Tsukino-san. I'll tell her you called when I get there. Okay. Bye."
Rei hung up the phone and let her true emotions show. She lied through her teeth to Ikuko. Makoto and Ami were in Kobe at the moment. Usagi should have been home by now. She ran to her bed and grabbed her communicator. She tried several times to call Usagi in vain.
When she realized she wouldn't be getting in touch with the senshi leader, she pressed to button to contact the Senshi's guardian. "Luna?"
"Yes, Rei? What's wrong?"
"Usagi," Rei stated simply. "Have you heard anything from her?"
"No," the black kitten replied. "Why?"
"Her mother just called. She never came home. I told her that Usagi-chan was with Mako-chan to buy us some time but we have to find her."
"I know. After she arrived on the scene, there were no more reports regarding the youma. I assumed she was successful at destroying it. The best bet is to start searching there for clues as to where she would be."
"Okay," Rei shut off the communicator.
Usagi had a great nose. With her heightened sense and her current state of hunger, she was able to find her way to the dining hall. She looked at the grand room in awe. "This place looks amazing!"
The guests stopped eating to take at the girl that made the sudden outburst.
The queen smile as she stood. "Welcome," she said. "Please. Please. Take a seat."
The senshi grinned. "Thanks. You won't believe the day I've had." The blonde took a seat next to a regally dressed man and the queen. "This looks delicious!"
The three men ran into the room, panting heavily. "My Queen," the largest said between gasps of air. "We saw her but she ran away."
Sailor Moon looked up at the voices. "You again! I didn't do anything! Why are you after me?"
"Calm down, sweetie," the queen tried her best to hold back her laughter. "I sent these three to bring you here. You're not in any trouble. I promise."
The senshi sighed with relief. "In that case, let's eat!"
"Not yet," Tuxedo Kamen spoke for the first time since Sailor Moon's arrival.
"Come on!" Usagi whined. "What now?"
"We still need an explanation on why and how we're here. You, your highness, agreed to tell us when Sailor Moon arrived."
The queen nodded. "You're right. It's quite a complicated story." She took her seat. "You see, you are in the kingdom of Mizu, of the sea. It is quite a grand, peaceful, and beautiful kingdom guarded by the God of the Sea, Poseidon. Poseidon protects us by activating different calamites to stop enemies. Poseidon is the cause of the tidal waves, hurricanes, and tsunamis alike. Humans are sometimes caught in the crossfire but luckily they usually blame the science of Earth."
Sailor Moon looked up from her plate. "What does that have to do with us, Queen?"
"For some reason, Poseidon was been acting…odd. He has been triggering earthquakes for what seems to be no reason whatsoever. That monster you faced earlier was one of his creations. We gain control of it after you were pulled under water. We brought you here to see to it that you fully recovered. We hope that you don't mind staying here for a few days while we try to figure out a way to get you back to the surface."
"Can't we just swim back?" Moon asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm afraid that's impossible, Miss," the king spoke for the first time. "We're on the ocean floor. I sense your power is more than the average human but your lungs are still not strong enough to make it to the surface."
"Then, if you don't mind company," Kamen said. "We will be more than happy to stay here." He stood to give a bow of respect. "Thank you for your hospitality."
Usagi stood to do the same. "I also thank you. We will try not to be a burden."
"Usagi!" Sailor Mars called for her blond friend. She ran through the beach, silently cursing the grains of sand that snuck through her heels. Finally get to her boiling point, she pulled off the shoes and continued her search barefoot. "Usagi! Where are you?"
Her communicator beeped. She answered it. "Mars here."
"Mars," Luna spoke over the communicator. "There's a youma attack and you're the only senshi available to defeat it. I'll try to get in touch with Venus."
"No," Mars shook her head. "Let Mina-chan rest. I can handle the youma. Where is the attack?"
"They're targeting Naru again. She might have a rainbow crystal. They're at her mother's jewelry store."
"I'm on my way. I'll finish searching for Usagi later."
The red clad senshi slipped on her red heels once again and ran towards the scene of the attack.
"I know it seems confusing, but the palace is actually very easy to get through," the young princess of Mizu explained to the hero and heroine of Tokyo as they walked through the halls. "In the morning, I will show you the entire kingdom!"
"That sounds great, Princess!" Sailor Moon smiled. She liked this girl. She was so full of energy.
"My name is Posimas," the girl said. "I am named after the god of the sea, himself. And your names are?"
"Tuxedo Kamen."
"Sailor Moon."
Posimas smiled. "Then it is very nice to meet the both of you, Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Moon."
That's the chapter! Anyone wondering how Ami, Mako, and Mina's going to react? Anyone ready for an epic new villian? Anyone have any special requests? Anyone wanting me to stop going on and on and just post the next chapter? Well all these requests and more can be answered if you review! Review!
Happy birthday to my mom and sister! I love you both with all my heart! ^.^
