Chapter 6: Sailor Moon is Lost! An Adventure on Terra Venture

Sailor Moon stood in a garden of scarlet roses, pink columbines, and indigo morning glories. The rising sun glimmered off the gold star locket she held open in her hands. A tear splashed upon it as it played their song. She felt arms sliding around her waist and embracing her from behind. She leaned back for a minute, then turned in the arms of the white robed man. She gazed up at sapphire blue eyes, trying to see through his disguise. The snowy fabric undulated in the soft breeze, the cape encircling both. Sailor Moon felt dizzy and she closed her eyes. She felt a soft breeze against her face and reopened her eyes. A stranger in a red suit stood before her, as she stared at her reflection in helmet, she whispered, "Andros?" The red stranger slowly shook his head, and moved to unclasp the helmet, and she saw a young man with short dark hair paired with gorgeous brown eyes.

"And then I woke up," Serena told Rei- one of her very best friends who also happened to be superb at interpreting dreams.

The fledgling priestess thought for a minute, staring into the constant flickering of the holy flame. It flared brighter and she saw an image in the fire. It was a group they knew- but not really. It was a new group of Power Rangers. Quickly, she told Serena that it was possible that they would be meeting new friends and allies soon.

"That's what my dream meant?" Serena said, "Oh whew! I thought it was because I was missing Darien so I dreamt up someone who was equally attractive."

Rei raised an eyebrow and then turned to Mina who was hanging just inside the doorway, eavesdropping, "What do you think, Mina?"

"Oh she is definitely missing Darien, but if she was missing him that much she would have dreamed about Darien himself, not a replacement. I think you're right. We are about to meet a new group of allies. Lita?" Mina turned to the brunette who was standing behind her, also eavesdropping.

"Yep. And I am itching for a fight."

Serena groaned, 'Lita, we just fought a battle with a Cardian last night! I still have the bruises."

Ami poked her head through the other room, "Do you want me to take a look at them? Check for internal bleeding?"

Serena rolled her eyes, "Ami, that won't be necessary. They will probably heal in the next day or so."

"Are you sure?' Ami asked, "Because I just added another program to the Mercury computer and I would really like to test it."

"Got enough storage space and memory on that computer?" Lita joked.

"The Mercury computer has an infinite amount of space."

"Seriously?" Rei asked, "Have you downloaded any music?"

"Some, but mostly programs that have to do with researching our enemies, battles… and the past."

"The past?" Serena asked.

"About the moon kingdom?" Mina asked

"Yes," Amy said, "I have been researching the moon kingdom's origins. Andros gave me some information before he left and it has been interesting connecting the dots. Apparently his ancestor was not the only one to use the portal between KO 35 and the other planets. The Mercurians were in the process of building one, and so were Sailor Jupiter's people. I am still looking into the existence of life on those planets during the ancient times. Not to mention, when Queen Serenity used the Silver Crystal to save everyone, she cast the Lunarians into an uncertain future. They could be on KO 35 or a similar colony. I have been trying to trace where and when they were reborn."

"Are you saying that my people could be out there?"

"Mike!" Leo screamed, trying to grab for his brother's hand as Mike started to fall. "Mike!"

"Take this!" Mike said, almost tossing the saber to Leo. Leo caught the sword and Mike fell down the deep abyss.

"MIKE!" Leo shouted, grief-stricken. Suddenly he was surrounded by a swirl of red rose petals and strawberry scented shampoo. He looked up to see a young woman in a short skirt. She whispered, "Save me, Red Power Ranger." The ground beneath her started to crack.

It was Mike all over again. He couldn't save Mike, but he could save this girl. He rushed to her side and pulled her into his arms just as the ground split open, revealing a black abyss.

He backed away from the deepening ravine still holding the blond girl. "Thank you." She whispered and vanished.

Leo sat up in his bunk in the room he shared with Damon and Kai. He took a deep breath, whispered, "What the hell?" He climbed out of his bunk and grabbed a jogging outfit. He needed a run and badly. He had not had that dream in a few weeks, and now it was a recurring dream with a twist. He wanted to know where the girl had come from and why she was in the dream now. He rolled his eyes. She didn't exist. He hoped.

"Leo, what is it man?" Kai said. He'd woken up when Leo thrashed in his sleep and had been about to wake Leo up when Leo started awake.

"Nothing, Kai, go back to sleep." Leo left Kai staring after him and Damon softly snoring. Leo ran outside to the quasi-fresh air of the space colony and found a sprinting rhythm that soon made his legs tingle and his chest tight. He stopped at a water fountain and took deep breathes, bracing his hands on his knees and leaning over.

He felt a presence next to him and looked over to see Maya at his side. She pushed her long hair aside and asked, "Leo, are you alright?"

He nodded still catching his breath.

"You had another dream didn't you?" Maya knew Leo was still having bad dreams about Mike's death.

"Yes. But it was different." Leo took a drink of water from the fountain.

"Different how?" Maya asked, perplexed.

"It's not important. I need to get changed for work, Maya. Talk to you later?" Leo said. He sprinted away towards the colony's barracks.

"Yes, but they don't know they are from the Moon Kingdom. They were reincarnated in new forms. They'll be like how we were before we became Sailor Scouts," Ami said.

"Doesn't matter. We need to find them and make sure they're okay." Serena said.

"How will we do that?" Rei asked, somewhat disgruntled.

"Doesn't matter," Serena repeated, standing up and pacing, "Maybe we could try looking for one of those portals."

"And travel through one?" Rei asked.

"Yes, Rei. I know it may be impossible to find a portal, and travel through it safely, but Andro's ancestor managed to do it."

"But he didn't try to come back," Rei said logically.

"I'm not giving up," Serena said, matching her stare with her words and crossed her arms.

"We can use our combined powers to come back," Ami said, "I will run a program that looks for the portals."

Serena nodded and relaxed.

Rei and Lita muttered, "Stubborn," beneath their breaths.

Maya was smoothing a mud pack over her face when Kendrix stormed in, muttering about Leo, "Idiotic, moronic, and insensitive," were among the adjectives Kendrix used.

Maya fought a grin. Kendrix had a fuse. It was a long one, but a fuse nonetheless and the person who set it off had better look out. "Kendrix, what happened?"

"Nothing," Kendrix replied. Maya stared at her, "Fine. I asked Leo to run over to the armory and Leo snapped at me to get it myself."

"He's having nightmares," Maya said, "About Mike. And a girl."

"How do you know?" Kendrix stared at her.

"Because I have them too."

"Maya!" Kendrix said, "Why haven't you said something before about these nightmares?"

Maya sat in pondering silence. "They aren't my dreams," she finally said, "I dreamwalk."

"You what?"

"I dreamwalk. Whatever you guys dream, I dream too. I don't do it on purpose, but it happens whenever I am off guard, or you have a strong feeling in the dream. Actually, I am not entirely sure why it happens sometimes."

Stunned, Kendrix asked, "Have you seen my dreams too?"

"No. I think I must shield myself from your dreams so much, that I walk into someone else's dreams instead. Usually, Leo's."

"Wait. You said Leo was having dreams about a girl. Who? And what kind of dreams?"

"His dream about Mike usually bleeds into the second dream. He is afraid that he won't be there in time to save her. I don't know who she is. She doesn't live on Terra Venture. I think she must be from the planet Earth."

"How do you know?"

Maya just shrugged.

***********************8 ***********************8

Ami ran up the Tsukinos' walkway and knocked briskly on the door. Mrs. Tsukino answered, her purse hooked on her arm. "Ami! Hello."

"Is Serena home?" Ami asked, wiping her forehead with one hand, while holding the Mercury computer behind her back.

"She's upstairs. Is everything alright?" Serena's mom asked.

"Yes. Everything's great. I just have some information she asked me to get. If you don't mind, I'll go upstairs and bring it to her."

"Okay. Tell Serena I'll bring up some snacks in a little while.

"Thank you, Mrs. Tsukino, but I am only going to be here for a few minutes." Ami walked upstairs and she knocked before opening the door. Serena was on the bed, reading. Luna rested at her side and Serena gently petted her before turning a page. Serena glanced up from her book when Ami entered the room.

"Ami, are you okay? Did you run here?" Serena asked, making room for Ami to sit next to her on the bed.

"I'm fine. I found a portal. I am not entirely sure it leads off planet, but when I scanned it, I saw a colony of some sort."

"Where is it?"

"Here," Ami showed her the computer and brought up map, "Luckily, the portal is right here in Japan, and even better, we can easily access it. It should be easy to travel through, and we should be able to come back just as easily."

"Alright. Contact the others and have them meet us at that location."

"Right. I'll meet you there as well. I need to go back home for some scanners and make sure the portal is safe."

"Okay," Serena and Luna stood up, "Luna, stay here." She ran downstairs, "Mom, I'll be back by tonight!"

"Okay, Serena, call if you think you'll be home late."

Serena and Ami ran out of the house and down the path, splitting up so Ami could go home and Serena ran towards the portal's location. When she arrived at the portal, she eyed it gingerly. It glowed in shades of blue and purple, and when she peered inside from a safe distance it looked hazy. She hesitantly took a step towards the portal and felt a gentle pull. She gasped as the portal took on a deep blue glow and it pulled her closer.

"Serena!" she heard behind her. It was Mina running towards the portal. The TheTHe TTTT The portal pulled her inside and she heard Mina screamed her name again. Mina ran faster towards the portal, but had sealed shut behind Serena.

"Serena!" Mina cried. Lita and Rei heard her sob as they ran toward where the portal had stood.

"Mina. What happened?" Lita asked.

"Serena was pulled into the portal and the portal sealed her in."

"Oh no!" They heard Ami shout as she came upon the scene and guessed what happened. "I forgot to tell Serena not to step too close to the portal. I felt the pull earlier and I should have warned her."

"It's not your fault, Ami," Rei said, hugging her, "We'll get her back somehow."

Ami nodded and pulled out the Mercury computer, another scanning device, and connected the two with a cord. She scanned the area where Serena and the portal disappeared and turned to the girls. "The portal had a timer on it. It was set to open half an hour ago and it was set to seal shut the moment a person was pulled in."

"That's good news right?" Rei said, holding onto her transformation pen, "That means it only pulled Serena in."

"Right. But it also leaves us with a couple of questions: who opened the portal? And why?" Ami asked.

Lita and Mina looked at Ami, worried, "Where did that portal lead to?"

Ami shrugged, "That was what the extra scanner was for. I was hoping it would tell me the where and when-"

"WHEN!" Lita cried out.

"The portals are tears in space- and in time. It's possible Serena was sent backwards- to the past."

"Or forwards." Mina reminded them.

"Right. Or forwards," Ami sighed and ruffled a hand through her short hair. "Unfortunately, the seal on the portal also caused that information to disappear. Serena could be any place, in any time."

"Damn." Rei said what they were all thinking.

It was the sensation of mirrors revolving around her body that woke her. She was in a fetal position holding onto her knees, pink streamers weaving around her body. She gasped and glanced around.

Where was she? She was confused. The last thing she remembered was being pulled into a portal.

Mina. The scouts. She tried to focus her thoughts, but all she kept thinking was the pink streamers around her body tinkled.

That's it! The streamers form my fuku! As soon as she thought that her brooch appeared, the moon crystal gleaming and showering her in blue light. What? How? She thought as she became Sailor Moon without shouting out the transformation phrase.

The mirrors revolved faster and she felt the wind from them around her body. She screamed as she felt her body hurtle through space and she tried to use the torque to become upright. She landed hard on her bottom and she cried out in pain as rocks bit through her bodysuit. She lied still for a moment, trying to catch her breath. She sat up slowly, glancing around. She was in a field, the grass growing sporadically and as high as her knees. Sharp rocks and pebbles surrounded her and she could feel them through the body suit. She stood up to relieve the pain.

She spun around, gaping a bit as she saw in the distance skyscrapers and over those skyscrapers a dome. In fact, the dome encapsulated the field as well. She started walking towards the buildings- hoping for a city. And a phone so she could call the scouts. She glanced down at her clothes- and something to clean off this red dirt. She looked again and rolled her eyes. It was her fuku, so she gripped her broach and changed back to regular Serena. She felt better- not only cleaner, but safer somehow. Even if no one here had heard about Sailor Moon, there was no sense parading around as the heroine of Juuban, when poor helpless Serena would do. She continued walking quickly.

Leo needed a shower. He felt the sweat trickle down his back and he pulled his tank top away from his chest to cool down. He had just needed to run. And he had run so hard he felt the wind pushing through his lungs.

"Hey Leo," he heard behind him. He turned around – it was Kai.

"Yeah?' He said.

"Meeting in the girls' room, ten minutes."

"Right. I'll be there." He walked towards his shared dorm with the guys, jumped in the shower, and put some fresh clothing on. He was outside the girls' room within the allotted 10 minutes.

He entered the room, and the four people talking fell silent, "Hey guys, what's up?"

"Leo," Maya began hesitantly, "there is something, I've been meaning to tell you. Something that may make you angry with me, and I should have said something earlier."

"Maya, get on with it," Leo said.

"I know you've been having nightmares. About Mike, and now some pretty blond girl."

"How?"

"I am a dreamwalker," Maya said, looking at Leo. Leo's face was blank, "It means I can walk through other peoples' dreams. Or their dreams seep into mine. Leo, I know you've been having dreams about Mike, and a blond girl."

Leo's face grew dark, "You've been spying on my dreams?"

"No, Leo, I don't do it on purpose. It happens accidentally most of the time, and I should have tried harder to guard myself against your dreams after the first time. I didn't, because I thought it was just once or twice, and I understood."

"That doesn't give you the right to-"

There was an alarm nearby, Kai shot to attention, and he and Damon scanned the console nearby. "There's an attack in the park."

Leo shot another glare at Maya and they ran out of the room. Racing to the park, they transformed "GO GALATIC!" They reached the park boundary and watched a blonde wriggle in the grasp of an insectoid creature. Her pigtails streamed around her as she struggled. Leo and Maya froze and gasped. They heard the girl shout, "MOON PRISM POWER!"

A blue light blurred the area and shocked the monster enough for the young woman to get free of the grip. A pink and blue orb surrounded her, ribbons unfurled around her, forming a bodysuit, a suit, and gleaming a golden tiara with a deep pink jewel in the center, as well as the pink jewels in her hair. She posed briefly, her pigtails curling around her body. She removed her tiara, shouted, "MOON TIARA ACTION!" The tiara sliced through the monster's waist, boomeranged around and sliced through the chest. It screamed, and fell over while disintegrating.

She knelt on the ground, breathing hard, holding onto the tiara, and finally replacing the tiara, she stood. She glanced around for witnesses, and the five rangers surprised. She approached them, and she watched as the red ranger unclasped his helmet- like in her dream. He lifted the helmet, and she met his eyes. There was recognition in his eyes and he asked her, "Who are you?"

"I am Sailor Moon. You guys are the Power Rangers."

There was a stunned silence, while they struggled to comprehend her words. "Sailor Moon?" The pink one finally asked, taking off her helmet, "Who is that?"

"Didn't Andros tell you? Zane? Cassie? TJ? Any of your predecessors?"

"No," the green one said, also removing his helmet, "We haven't met any other rangers."

"But we have the Megaship from the Space Rangers," the young man in blue removed his helmet. The one in yellow also took of her helmet, revealing a beautiful young woman with untamed hair.

Sailor Moon looked at the helmetless heads and grasped her broach. In a flash of blue and pink, the transformation reversed itself and she stood as Serena before the five older teens. "I'm Serena."

"Leo," the red ranger said, then pointed to his friends, "Damon" (green), "Kai" (blue), "Kendrix" (pink), and "Maya" (yellow). They all nodded in greeting and smiled.

"Where am I? This doesn't look like any part of Japan that I have been to."

"You are on Terra Venture, a space colony, traveling the universe looking for undeveloped planets, and galaxies," Kendrix said, "how did you get here?"

"There was a portal near my neighborhood. I went with one of my scouts to check it out, and it sucked me in."

"Scouts?" Leo asked.

"Sailor Scouts. They (and me, I guess) are the reincarnation of people that lived over a millennia ago. My mother, Queen Serenity, used her silver crystal to freeze us and send us to the future to be reborn."

Maya gasped, "On Mirinoi, I heard stories about a young queen on the moon imprisoning an evil sorceress with a silver crystal. They were fairy tales passed through the ages."

"The Negaverse and Beryl were reawakened and Beryl started to cause trouble in Japan. Of course my friends and I cause them trouble ourselves. We managed to hold them back so far," Serena paused, "I need to return to my friends and planet. Do you know how I can?"

Maya gasped and pointed behind her. There was shimmery pool of light appearing. They saw shadows of young women on the other said, and they were shouting "Sailor Moon! Please hear our plea, and cross the portals of the universe."

Serena turned around and waved goodbye to her new friends, stepping close and into the portal. It pulled her in and with a popping sound sealed shut.

"Well, that was interesting," Kai said.

"Weird," Kendrix and Damon agreed.

"Yeah," Leo gazed after the young woman as Maya stepped close to him, whispering, "Maybe now you'll stop dreaming about her." He just nodded. He'd have private with her later about working harder to stay out of other's dreams.

********************'

The portal gently pushed out and her friends caught her, encircling her with their arms and she looked up to see their tearstained faces.

"You guys," she said, tears spilling out of her own eyes as she saw one of their signs of devotion to her and their friendship.

"Serena!" they said, hugging her tightly.

A man in a top hat stood on a tall building nearby. He spun his cane, glad once more that his princess was safe. Queen Beryl was still amazingly tightlipped about the ultimate plan. "Just a little more time, Serena," he whispered, his cape flowing behind him as he leapt away from the scene.

A.N. : Sorry that it took so longer for this chapter. Review please, and I apologize for the semi-rushed ending.
