Chapter Six: Finally B
They were nearing the end of the basement. Mamoru had looked at the map again before glancing at the walls. He had a feeling that there was a door hidden behind the blinding white wallpaper.
"Check the walls for a door." He ordered.
They all nodded and began searching. Rei and Makoto stood next together and had been searching. Rei had began to calm down a little after talking things out with her friend. Usagi had stood close to the end corner of the room and pressed her ear against the wall; hearing a very faint scream.
"Mamo!" She called, "Right here!"
Both Mamoru and Haruka ran to the where she was standing. Sailor Uranus took her hand and began banging against the wallpaper and it made a hollow sound. She looked at Mamoru with her grey-green eyes and gave a slight nod. The others noticed as Haruka took her space sword and began cutting the wallpaper that surrounded the metal door. Usagi had backed up a little and just watched. It was clear to both Rei and Makoto that she was under a lot of stress and that her mind had so many things at once.
"There's the door." Haruka replied.
"Now we have more area to cover." Mamoru answered as he looked at the map again, "Alright, it looks like this door will lead us to a cell."
"Perhaps then we will find Minako and Michiru." Ami said.
They all nodded in agreement as Haruka opened the heavy steel door. Two doors, one on the left side of the room and the other on the right. The screaming that Usagi heard seemed to stop. Mamoru began glancing back and forth from each door. Haruka began thinking on which door to open first. Ami and Setsuna stood there, doing the same thing as Mamoru; as if the doors were going to speak to them. Makoto stood next to Rei; but had her eyes on Usagi, who was acting a little strange since they figured out the code from the piano room. There was something inside Sailor Jupiter to go ask Usagi why she was acting the way she was. But, she remained where she stood. Rei kept watching the heads of Ami, Setsuna, and Mamoru glancing from room-to-room.
"Can you guys stop that?!" She yelled, "You're making me dizzy!"
They stop and turned to look at her; at first they were kind of surprised that she screamed at them in the first place; but knew that she was right on having to stop.
"Why don't we just pick a door and find the other two before that thing shows itself?" She growled.
Makoto gave a slight bow to her; agreeing with Sailor Mars and headed to the door on the left. She tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge.
"Must be locked." She muttered out loud.
Mamoru headed to the right door and it opened.
"We should split into teams again." Setsuna paused, "Some of us to stay here and guard the door; and the others go with Mamoru to find a key or something."
"I'll stay with Setsuna." Answered Haruka.
"Then, I'll go with Mamoru." Rei added.
"I'll stay." Makoto replied.
"I guess Ami and Usako can also tag along with me and Rei." Answered Mamoru.
"Good idea." Setsuna said.
Usagi stood up from the ground and looked at Mamoru.
"We'll meet back here in an hour." He paused, "Unless we find something, then we'll come right back."
"Well then." Haruka looked at her friends, "Good luck. BREAK!"
…
Mamoru, Usagi, Ami, and Rei headed inside the room that was towards the right of the hall. Rei began walking ahead and noticed that it just lead to a cell.
"C'mon, let's see if something's in there." She said as the others followed her inside the cell.
Usagi stood close to Ami and noticed something laying on the floor.
"Do you see it?" Ami asked.
"The shiny object?" Usagi questioned, thinking that she was the only one who saw it.
Rei walked inside the cell with the others close behind her. Mamoru closed the cell door without thinking. Ami picked up the key and looked over as the wooden door opened. The thing ran in and noticed them inside the cell. Usagi and the thing made eye contact.
"It's that THING!" Cried Usagi.
It's dark eyes kept glancing at her, he liked his chaped grey lips, and gave a small growling sound. It scared Usagi more than anything else. Good thing Mamoru had shut the cell door. The thing couldn't enter in because the doors were locked on the side he was standing at. He made eye contact with Usagi once again before turning around and exited the room. Usagi began trembling. Ami had to hold onto her to keep her standing up straight. Mamoru kept glancing from the two of them with his dark blue eyes.
"We found the key." He began.
"Now, we can continue our search for Venus and Neptune." Ami finished.
"Good!" Answered Rei, "Let's meet up with the others."
