They all huddle around her, once again, speechless, as Asteroid gave her CPR. Anyone else could've done it, but Constellation seems to taken a liking to the idea of Asteroid giving Meteor CPR for some reason. This time, Asteroid wished that it was all fake. But it wasn't. Meteor wasn't breathing and she is probably dead. But how could this be? They've barely started helping Sailor Moon.

"Sailor Moon?!" Ikuko said tentatively, waving her husband over.

"How can we help you?" Comet asked, not really in the mood for more things to deal with. Kenji walked out, carrying Shingo on his back.

"This French speaking lady threw that Senshi off the island, into the sea, and gave our son a concussion," Kenji explained. Moon bit her lip, trying hard to not cry. She should've be here and help her brother and her family. No time for *that* now, Moon thought as she tried to think of a plan.

"Mercury, can you scan the boy? Is there a local hospital around here somewhere?" Moon asked.

"Speaking of which, we need to get her to the hospital," Nebula said, her voice trembling.

"Why?" Moon asked, dreading the answer.

"...'Cause she's not breathing."

"How did this happen?" Constellation whispered to herself. Her whole body tremble in fear, she haven't felt this scared ever since she came back to the US. Everyone stood in the hallway of the hospital outside the surgery room.

Comet forced a smile and wrapped his arms around Constellation, trying his best to comfort the girl. He himself felt as hopeless as one possibly could. Just a few days ago, he and Nessa had went to a Flower shop to look at the roses that they were planning on giving to Izzy and Holden some time after all this is done. She seemed so careless and happy then, how could this be the same girl who's on the edge of death?

Constellation finally leaned into Comet's half-hug a few minutes later. It wasn't only the day after, had the doctors come out and tell them all the results.

"Are you all family of Sailor Meteor?" the doctor first asked.

"Never mind, that's a stupid question," the doctor, Dr. Mizuno, added under her breath.

"How is she? I- is she...?" Moon asked, since no one else seems to have to courage to.

"She is finally in stable condition. It took us a while to get her heart pumping again. I think mainly what happened was the victim had suicidal thoughts and didn't want to come back until moments before her... revival. But somehow her soul clung on to her body, so she survived," Dr. Mizuno explained. A few senshi nodded, a few didn't do anything at all. Constellation let out a sigh that she didn't realize she was holding.

"Since you're all senshi, I guess it's ok to let you visit her all at once," Dr. Mizuno explained after thinking for a minute. They all got up, ready to ask Meteor for an explanation, but Constellation rushed to the door and told the others to give her a minute.

Muffled shouting could be heard for the next five minutes. They all waited paitently, and worried, outside. Until Meteor slammed the door opened and half limp half ran down the hallway. Asteroid immediately ran after her. Nebula were about to follow, but Jupiter stopped her.

"Let them talk a bit. I'm sure they'll be fine," Jupiter said softly to the seemingly very mature five year old. Nebula nodded slowly and sadly, knowing Jupiter was right.

They all file into the hospital room, which was a mess. The IV drip stand was knocked over. The vase of flowers, which are dead, on the small table next to the bed, were knocked over as well and the vase was shattered on the floor.

"What happened?" Moon asked, worried. Constellation shook her head and rubbed her eyes tiredly.

"I tried to ask her what happened and when she explained, my emotions got the better of me," Constellation replied.

"So what did happen to her?"

Meteor took off her transformation and sat down next to Asteroid, who also took off his transformation after she did. It didn't take him long to catch up to her, considering the fact that she was limping and all due to her leg wound.

She looked horrible comparing to him, wounds and all. She rubbed her eyes, tired. He looked up to the sky with a strange look in his eyes.

"Did you know Princess Celestial had a fiance? Or that she had a disease called the 'Mannequin Disease'?" he asked. Nessa lifted her head slightly.

"Her fiance..." Holden started saying, trying to distract Nessa.

"... Died in her arms," Nessa finished, her eyes dark. Holden looked at her, surprised.

"I was going to say he loved her, but okay!" he said, half joking. He side glanced her, worried. He smiled when he caught her doing the same thing.

"C'mon, let's go back. Everyone must be worried," he replied. Nessa stood up, only to fall back down again. Right, she thought, my leg is still broken somehow.

"Here," Holden said, getting Nessa on his back. She blushed but put her arms around his neck so she doesn't fall.

"Come to think of it, we haven't done this since we were 12," Nessa said, smiling at the memory. It was the day of the sports festival. At the last event of the day, Holden sprained his ankle and Nessa had to carry him home like this.

"You still remember that day?" Holden asked, smiling. He turned his face half way to look at Nessa when she's talking, only to have his nose bump into hers.

"Yeah, your brother couldn't stop teasing us about how I was your knight in shining armor," Nessa said, giggling. Holden chuckled and shook his head.

"So. Why were you crying back there?" Holden asked. Nessa sighed.

"Because. I failed my mission. Three people died because of me and all Izzy wants to know is why I didn't wake her and bring her with me," She replied.

"Wait, what mission?" Holden asked, confused. And who died? Holden thought.

"Angel gave me a mission about a week ago. It was to save the all the girls' families. Izzy found out after the first or second mission so she usually tagged along," Nessa explained. She got off Holden's back as they slowly made their way back to the group.

"I got this feeling not to bring her before I went on this mission so I didn't. But she wasn't even listening to me. She was just yelling at me and telling me things I did wrong and things I should've done," she said, blinking angry tears away. Holden nodded, he didn't know what else to do.

"Is that why for the last week, you've been wearing long sleeves and long pants?" he asked. Nessa nodded. He sighed. He probably know why Angel didn't want everyone to know now, considering the fact that everyone would've wanted to stop her from going or would've wanted to go together if they knew.

"Hey, we still need to celebrate your birthday. Isn't it today? Do you want to do it tonight?" Nessa asked. Holden nodded absently, his mind elsewhere.

"Nessa!" Usagi called. Looks like everyone detransformed. Nessa flinched. How is she suppose to tell Usagi that she couldn't save her family?

"Everyone was worried. Are you two okay?" Mamoru asked. Nessa nodded.

"Did we get the issue with the timegate solved yet?" Nessa asked, suddenly remembering that. Setsuna walked up to her.

"I solved the problem while you two were gone. Small Lady is safe. But Crystal Tokyo is falling apart. The future King and Queen had once again fallen into a deep sleep. Everyone have been put into that way for some reason," Setsuna explained. Nessa nodded, glancing at the rest of the group.

"Nessa, what does this mean?" Holden asked, still not used to the whole "universe"

"We're fighting a losing battle."
