Chapter 10: Betrayal C
After breakfast dishes were over, Usagi began leading the group towards the basement again. Mamoru was right next to her, trying to figure out why Usagi would be leading them down to the basement again since that was the place where the monster was active. Rei bit her lower lip, she received a bad vibe coming off of Usagi for a strange reason and she didn't understand why. Usagi opened the door to the area where there was a cell that was locked on the inside but not the outside. Haruka became utterly confused, she began looking around before she noticed something in the cell.
"Why did you bring us here, Usagi?" Asked Minako.
"Well, you see that box." Usagi paused, "I think something's in there and I would like to know what it is."
"Do you think it might help us find a way out?" Ami questioned.
"I hope so." Usagi answered, "If not, it'll take forever to find a way outta here."
"Well, there's only one way to find out." Haruka said, walking in with Michiru close by.
The others stayed out of the cell, just watching them as they walked towards the box and began struggling because it wouldn't open. Setsuna and Ami walked in to see if they needed help. Usagi just watched from where she was. She bit her lower lip.
"Stupid thing won't open!" Haruka growled.
"Step away, let's see if this helps." Minako began as she walked into the cell looking down at the box as the group backed away, "Venus Love-Me Chain!"
Nothing happened. Minako became confused and didn't know what else to do. Makoto walked in and went to see if she could open it.
"We should all try using one of our abilities to see if it will open." She said.
"Good idea, Mako-chan." Ami said.
"Supreme Thunder!" She cried.
Same result as Minako's attack, nothing.
"That's strange." Rei said as she and Mamoru walked in.
They all began examining the box, talking about what they could do to open it up. Usagi looked at them and had her hands against the sliding cell door. She took a deep breath in.
"I'm sorry." She muttered as she slammed the cell door shut.
The sound of the door locking was what startled the group. They looked at her surprised.
"Usagi! What the hell are you doing?" Makoto asked.
"It's because of me we are all here." She paused, "I was the one who heard those rumors and I told Minako about it."
"Usako! Open this door!" Yelled Mamoru.
"That thing is after me and I'm going to finish this." Usagi said as she turned towards the exit, "If I get out of this alive, I'll set you free."
"Usagi, why are you doing this?" Rei paused, "This is stupid! We came here as a group and we'll escape as a group. That's what we promised! You can't take down that monster all by yourself! He'll kill you when he gets the chance."
"We'll figure something out, Usagi!" Minako added.
"Let us go so we can help you! You don't always have to do things alone you know." Makoto began, "C'mon Usagi, listen to us!"
"Usagi, let us go. We can help you." Ami started, "Please, believe in us."
Usagi shook her head, tears began falling down her cheeks as she grabbed a hold of the door handle.
"If I get out of this alive, I'll come back and set you free." Was all Usagi said before she left the room.
"PRINCESS!" Haruka screamed.
"Sailor Moon!" Michiru cried.
"Serenity!" Setsuna yelled.
"Usagi!" The inner guardians screamed loudly.
"USAKO!" Cried Mamoru, "OPEN THIS DOOR! USAKO!"
