Chapter Two: Supreme Thunder A
The other Sailor Guardians stood outside the glorious mansion. Haruka Tenoh got a bad vibe all the sudden, Michiru had been standing close to her; she took a hold of her lover's hand gently; she brushed her sea blue hair away from her eyes with her other hand, Setsuna was ready to open the door for all of them to head inside, Makoto had been trying to get ahold of Rei; but nothing happened; she sighed to herself, and Ami had an eye out for anything.
"Anything from Sailor Mars?" Asked Ami, turning her head to face Mako.
"The only thing I have received was awhile ago." Answered Mako, trying to connect to a signal with her communicator.
"If she's here, does that mean the other three are with her?" Setsuna paused, "I mean, are Venus, King, and Sailor Moon still with Mars?"
"There's a possibility." Haruka began, "I don't understand why Minako said that this place is cool . . . I gotta bad feeling all the sudden."
"I sense something as well." Michiru added, "We should head inside and try to find them."
They all nodded in agreement.
"We should split up into two groups." Suggested Setsuna.
"That's a good idea." Mako replied.
"I guess I'll go with Setsuna." Ami paused and began thinking, "And you three in a group?"
Haruka, Michiru, and Mako nodded their heads in agreement. Mako had glanced at Haruka and then turned back to Ami.
"Let's go." Haruka nodded her head.
Setsuna shook her head in return and opened the door. When they all had entered inside the mansion, they noticed the cream colored walls.
"I guess we meet here when we have found everyone." Michiru suggested.
"Alright, I guess Ami and I will search the first floor and you guys search the second floor?" Setsuna questioned, trying to think of where to start looking.
The others nodded in agreement.
"And if anything happens, transform." Mako added to the plan.
They all agreed and headed their separate directions to begin looking. Haruka, Michiru, and Mako headed up the stairs to begin their search.
"Remember to check all the rooms." Haruka ordered, "I'll check the third floor."
"Be careful, Haruka." Michiru warned with a small smile.
"I'm gonna check this room over here." Mako said as Haruka left to the third floor.
Michiru gave a small nod. Mako headed towards the room where she smelt burnt wood; it was almost suffocating, she placed a hand to her nose and mouth, and headed deeper into the room. She noticed the fireplace and noticed some burnt wood.
"That's strange, if this place was uninhabited for decades; why is there fresh burnt wood?" She asked herself.
Mako crouched down as she noticed something inside covering some of the wood. She carefully reached into the fireplace and grabbed what felt like fabric. When she pulled it out she noticed the grey and red trim on the collar; her eyes widened, knowing who owned it.
"This is Rei's school uniform!" She paused, "But why would they be in the fireplace?"
She began to examine the uniform closer, she noticed a red sticky substance against the grey fabric.
"And is this blood?"
About five minutes pass by, Haruka and Michiru had walked into the room hand-in-hand.
"We couldn't find anything," Paused Michiru, "what about you?"
Mako turned to see them, handing them the half scorched school uniform with wide eyes. Haruka took ahold of it in her hands and began examining it, with Michiru looking over her shoulders.
"What is this?" Asked Haruka.
"It's Rei's school uniform, I found in in the fireplace." Mako began, stressing out thinking that Rei was severely hurt or worse, "And there's blood on it!"
"We have to find them soon." Michiru said, worriedly.
"And get out of here!" Haruka paused, stuffing the uniform in her bag, "Let's go see if Ami and Setsuna found anything. First, we should transform."
Mako nodded as Haruka offered her hand out to help her up. Mako took it without a second thought.
"Right." Mako and Michiru said in unison.
"Uranus Eternal Power!"
"Jupiter Eternal Power!"
"Neptune Eternal Power!"
"Make Up!" They yelled at the sametime.
Haruka and Michiru nodded their heads and they all headed down to the first floor.
"I'll go see where they're at." Haruka said as she left Mako and Michiru standing next to the entrance.
"I don't understand what's going on here." Mako paused with a soft sigh, "The message I got from Rei; and we haven't even found anything."
"I understand, we just need to stay calm, and believe that we will find them." Michiru answered, with a small smile.
Mako lets out one final frustrated sigh before she nodded her head in agreement.
"I guess you're right, Michiru." She began to calm down a little.
Michiru's smile grew brighter. It was silent for a little while, then something charged at the two of them. Mako and Michiru were knocked to the ground. When Michiru looked up, she noticed the grey alien; it grabbed a hold of her arm tightly. Mako's eyes widened when she looked at the thing and noticed that it had a hold of Michiru. She stood up and began to fight it, trying hard to avoid hitting Michiru the best she could.
"Supreme Thunder!" She yelled.
The monster didn't seemed to be phased by Mako's attack. It continued to drag Michiru away. Mako continued to fight, but the monster vanished with Michiru clenched in his arms. Mako punched the wall that was close to her. From the bathroom, Haruka heard Mako's cry and came running back.
"Jupiter, you okay?" She asked, noticing that Mako was in complete shock before she began looking around for Michiru, "Where's Neptune?"
"What the hell was that thing?" Mako whispered to herself.
"What thing?!" Haruka asked, "Where's Michiru, Mako?!"
"A monster charged at us," Mako paused, looking Haruka dead in the eye, "and it took Neptune . . . I couldn't stop it."
Haruka balled up her fists and shook her head before hearing some rustling going on in the kitchen.
"We should report this to the other two, let's go!"
Haruka began running towards the kitchen, grabbing a hold of Mako's wrist as she passed.
