Chapter Twelve

The sun was shining in on Serena's room like a dream. Heero rolled over and woke up with the sun in his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and suddenly realized Serena was gone! "Maybe she is in the bathroom?" Heero told him self as getting out of the bed. He then rushed out of the room to search for Serena.

Duo left Lauren's room and let the girls be. He was still scared about telling Elizabeth about Mina and Quatre. He was walking down the hall thinking all of this and then BOOM! Duo found him self on the floor.

"Watch where you're going!" Heero commanded. Duo rubbed his head and a sweat drop appeared. "Well you were rushing too! You shoulda watched out for people! Why were you rushing anyways?"

"Serena! She's missing!"

Duo looked puzzled. Then asked "Do you think those Soul sucker people took her?"

"No, I think she left on her own. You saw her after the battle. She was completely miserable and kept blaming her self. I bet anything she left so she could save them and prove herself."

"Makes sense. Let's call a meeting."
-----

The mini scouts were all just hanging around in Lauren's room. The windows were open and there was a light breeze blowing in on the girls. Lauren was lying on her stomach with her legs in the air, next to her was Elizabeth who was sitting Indian style and eating a candy bar. Across from Lauren and Elizabeth lay Reni on her back, she was chewing on some gum. On either side of her sat Isabelle and Ruby.

"So I went to see mommy last night." Reni said.

"How's Crystal Tokyo?" Elizabeth eagerly asked.

"Pretty good. It's just I still miss it even though I was just there."

"Reni, what came over you last night?" Lauren asked while fidgeting with the yarn on the carpet.

"It was the Heero coming out of me. I'm deeply sorry. It's not like I can control it." Reni rolled over and was now on her stomach like Lauren.

The girls laughed and then Isabelle said, "All that matters is Lauren is completely fine!"

"Everything just works out for her…" Ruby muttered.

"What was that Ruby?" Lauren asked with a smile.

"Uh…nothing?"

"That's what I thought." The pride stricken Lauren said as crossing her arms. The room went silent. Lauren started daydreaming how things would be if she had a world of her own. She loved Alice in Wonderland so much and wished to be like her so badly. "I need a world of my own…"

"Lauren, that would not end well!" Isabelle told the craziest scout. Lauren pouted. "Why?"

"You really need us to tell you?" Reni snorted. Elizabeth giggled in the back round with Ruby.

"Tell us, how would your world be?" Ruby said.

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" Lauren told her friends.

'Exactly!" Elizabeth exclaimed. Isabelle giggled and shook her head. "You've been reading too much Alice in Wonderland, haven't you?"

"How'd you know?" Lauren smiled.

"Because, that's the only book you continuously borrow from me. You can just have it." Isabelle explained.

"No! I couldn't take it. I won't take it."

KNOCK KNOCK

Lauren ran to the door and there was Ami, she had a worried look on her face and was still in her pajamas. "Girls, come down to the living room for a scout meeting. It's urgent!"

"What's wrong?" asked a confused Reni.

"We'll discuss that downstairs at the meeting. Now hurry!"

The girls got up off the ground and raced down the stairs to the living room. They all took a seat. Ruby and Isabelle sat on the footstool. Lauren Reni and Elizabeth sat on the ground near the love seat where Raye and Wufei were sitting. Lita, Duo and Heero all sat on the couch and Trowa was relaxing in a lazy boy recliner. Ami slowly came down the stairs and stood in front of everyone.

"We have called this meeting to announce that Mina, Quatre and Serena are missing." Ami paused to let the mini scouts reflect. "There was a battle last night. The monster took Mina and Quatre away. Serena was depressed and blaming herself for the whole ordeal. Heero's guess or should I say bet is that Serena left in the wee hours of the morning to save them in order to prove to us that she could do it alone, but we all know no one can do this alone. She needs our energy. We need to go help her. She is our Queen and we must do all we can to protect her!" Ami spoke these words with clarity. You could tell she meant everything she said. Plus, Ami wasn't on the school speech team for nothing.

"My parents are missing?" Elizabeth said with a single tear sliding down her cheek.

"Sorry to say Elizabeth. But yes. Now hurry we must find Sailor Moon and help her save them!"

"Don't worry, Elizabeth! The sailor scouts will get them back!" Reni patted Elizabeth on the back.

Raye then stood up and announced "I'm going to go meditate maybe I can find some sort of information to help us."

"Great idea, Raye!" Lita said.

"Inform us as soon as you get anything, onna." Wufei said.

"Don't call me onna!" Raye shouted.

"I'll call you whatever I want onna!"

"You want me to slap you?"

"How about I slap you first."

"Shut up!"

"Make me!"

Raye then pulled Wufei towards her and kissed him hard on the lips. Wufei then pushed away and said, "Are you crazy onna! That kind of behavior is for the bedroom! Seriously where is the justice nowadays?"

Duo cracked up laughing and said "Get a room."

"Shut it!" Raye said while giving Duo a death glare. She then stomped up the stairs. She walked fast to her room. Slowly opened the door and dropped her self down on her pillow covered floor in front of the fireplace. "Why do I love that man?" Raye asked herself while shoving a pillow in her face and screaming. "Okay Raye calm down! You need to meditate and the only way to meditate properly is to be calm." She breathed deeply then said "Okay Raye great just deep heavy breaths."

She finally calmed down and started to meditate in front of the fire. All she saw was fire. She had to concentrate harder. She had to concentrate on Mina and Quatre. Wherever they were Serena had to be there. Suddenly the flames started to reveal something another dimension? Is that all?' Raye thought. All she could see in the flames was another dimension. Then a cell appeared and Mina and Quatre were in it unconscious.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Suddenly the vision was gone and none other then Lita was at the door.

"Lita! You interrupted me. I'm not even sure if I can ever see it again!"

A sweat drop appeared on Lita's head and she blushed. "Well, what did you see?"

"Another dimension. Then Mina and Quatre unconscious in a cell."

"Another dimension?"

"Yeah."

"Hmm, well if I know Mina, she sent out a signal. We'll use that to locate them and Sailor teleport.

Lita and Raye then ran down the stairs and luckily everyone was still there talking amongst them selves. They saw Raye and quieted down.

"Any news?" asked Trowa.

"Everyone get ready we have to go to another dimension." Raye announced.

Everyone transformed then they formed a circle while holding hands. "Don't forget to think about Mina! Everyone concentrate on Mina!" Sailor Mars told everyone before teleporting. Everyone nodded and said, "Scout Power!"

They teleported to a purple planet, it had blue trees and a pink sky. "This place is pretty gay." Jupiter Knight snorted. Sailor Jupiter smacked him on the back, and Jupiter Knight rubbed his back and whined. The minis giggled and Mercury started scanning the planet. Mercury Knight walked up to her and rubbed her back affectionately. This caused Mercury to blush and whisper something in her Knight's ear.

The minis were watching this with curiosity. "What do you think she whispered?" Mini Moon asked her friends.

'If you ask me-" Mini Jupiter started with a sly smile.

"No one was asking you, Jupiter!" Mini Mars rudely interrupted.

For once Mini Venus didn't want to watch one of Mini Mars and Jupiter's fights. She walked up to them and whispered very menacing so only they could hear, "Stop being so selfish! We are going to work together to find my parents!"

This scared the girls; they never saw Mini Venus be so assertive. Mini Mercury patted Mini Venus on the back in congratulations. Meanwhile Mercury was still searching for a signal from Venus.

" I can't get a signal! I'm not even sure if this is the right place." Mercury said nervously. Her Knight then spoke up, "Honey, don't get stressed. We will find them! Let's just walk, maybe we'll find something."

"Walking around aimlessly? What good is that going to do? Where's the logic in that?" She stumbled.

Mars Knight cut in, "Onna does have a point."

Mercury Knight was just about to say something nasty, but then Moon Knight stopped him, "Don't, we need to work together."

Mercury Knight nodded in agreement. Everyone finally agreed to just walk around, because Mercury couldn't pick up any signal. During this endless walk everyone played twenty questions, I spy, and rock, paper, scissors.

Jupiter Knight guessed Mini Moon's object for twenty questions, it turned out to be the purple ponytail holder in Mini Jupiter's hair. Moon Knight won I spy and Mars won three rounds out of five rounds of rock, paper, scissors.

After what seemed like walking forever, Mercury picked up a signal on her computer. 'We've got to be close!" she squealed. She continued to follow the signal and she saw a figure lying on the ground. "Oh no. Is that Sailor Moon?" she muttered.

"What?" piped up Mini Venus. "You found my parents?"

Mercury rubbed the youngster's head and said, "No, I think I found someone else."

Suddenly Moon Knight saw the figure lying in purple grass. He rushed over to it as fast as he could and Mini Moon followed. Moon Knight reached the body first and it was Sailor Moon.

"Sailor Moon!" spoke the Knight of the Moon. He shook his beloved and shouted her name more. Mini Moon finally approached; she was shocked at this sight. "The idiot!" she sobbed, "thinking she could do this on her own?" Mini Moon dropped to her knees and Moon Knight put his arm around her. "Don't worry, I think she just fainted."

Mini Moon perked up, "Really?"

"Yeah." The father told his future daughter with a smile. She smiled back and started holding her mom's nose so she couldn't breathe.

"What are you doing?" Moon Knight was puzzled. His daughter just smiled and giggled, "This always works!"

Sailor Moon started to toss and turn and then woke up gasping for air. "Ahhh!"

Moon Knight and Mini Moon leapt back. Sailor Moon saw them and gave them dirty looks. "Why are you here?"

"We're not alone." Mini Moon said.

At that moment Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and their knights along with the other Mini scouts emerged. Sailor Moon was not happy about this. She needed to save Mina and Quatre on her own!

-------------------

"Hahahaha!" Laughed the shadow of a tall figure. The tall figure started petting a green Great Dane with blue wings. "Sailor Scouts, they're all so dumb. Trying to save their friends?" The figure walked out of the darkness and was finally revealed. It was a green women, she had long, curly blue hair with purple streaks through it. Along with the odd skin and hair color she had blood red eyes. She was wearing a silver skintight gown with an abundance of cleavage. "Maybe, you should give them a little treat, Almond."

Another figure appeared this was a green boy. He looked about 12 years old and had the same hair and eyes as the women. "Mother, I'm not-"

"Silence!" The women slapped her son and sent him flying. He landed on the ground with a thud. "Okay, as you wish your highness." Sobbed the young boy. He stood up and rubbed his bottom. "Wait." The mother hissed.

The boy looked up and stopped walking away. "Yes?"
She smiled and stroked her dog some more." I don't want you failing, Almond!"

The young boy smiled in defiance, "And what if I do? You can't kill me! I'm the only heir to this pathetic kingdom."

The Queen's face turned sour and she lifted her arm up and shot black and purple rays of lightning at her son. Almond fell to the ground and tried his hardest not to scream. He didn't want to give her the satisfaction of hurting him. He arose slowly wincing in pain. "Anything else your highness?" Almond asked through clenched teeth.

"Take Pistachio with you." The dog ran over to Almond and sniffed his pant leg.

"As you wish." Spoke Almond and he ran off with Pistachio close to his side. As soon as Almond was out of his Mother's sight he started walking. "Pistachio, one day we should just run away." The dog gave Almond a dirty look and continued to walk.

The dog and his boy walked along the corridors of an old burgundy colored castle. Along the walls were pictures of other green people and their achievements. "Almond, why do you anger the Queen?" The dog spoke.

Almond frowned and shook his head. "She's my mother! She shouldn't treat me like that. Ever since dad mysteriously died she has been nothing but an old witch!

Pistachio gasped at the boy's words. "Better not say that too loud. Our Queen can here all."

"Queen of what? There is no one on this planet but her, you and me! She killed everyone because they wouldn't obey her." Almond kicked a rock into one of the walls and a crack appeared. The dog looked worried but chose not to speak.

"I want to see the prisoners again! The blonde girl is so beautiful!" Almond said dreamily.

"You are nothing but trouble!" the dogs scolded the young prince of nothing. "Almond, you will be King and I'm not sure you can handle it with the attitude you have."

"I'm leaving this place as soon as I can. I'm changing my name too, I mean who names their kid after a nut? "

"Don't speak that way of the royal names!"

Almond laughed and ran up some stairs. Pistachio followed and continued scolding the young boy.

The Queen of nothing stood in front of a Mirror brushing her hair. "Those Sailor Scouts want to help their friends in the cell." She was talking to her self as always. You see, when you live in a castle with your son and a talking dog you tend to grow crazy. "Their souls are exactly what I need!"

She stopped brushing her hair and pushed a button on her mirror. Suddenly it turned into a screen and on this screen was Sailor Venus and her Knight. "When should I take their souls?" she laughed. "Almond better succeed in his mission or he is up for a big punishment! "
-------------------------

Things were finally settled between Sailor Moon and everyone else. Everything finally seemed to be back to normal, except Quatre and Mina. After a little bit more of walking they approached a burgundy castle.

"I wonder if Mina and Quatre are in there," muttered Sailor Moon.

"They have to be, there is no where else on this planet and I'm picking up a signal from Mina." Sailor Mercury informed.

"Well, lets go in!" Mini Venus declared. She ran at the big pink door and turned the knob. Suddenly, she just disappeared.

"Oh no! It was a trap!" Mini Moon cried. "Why didn't anyone stop her?" She ran to the door and Sailor Moon chased after her. She caught up and picked up her daughter. "Mini Moon, no! We'll have to find another way." She whispered.

"There seems to be no openings. Maybe we can disable the trap somehow." Mercury Knight said.

"I can fix that!" Jupiter Knight said. Jupiter Knight then ran toward a door with his scythe, stabbed it and screamed "Dark Hell Lightning!" Neon purple bolts of lightning emitted from the scythe. The door burst open and smoke was all over.

"Duo, that was soooo hot!" Jupiter said while giggling. Sweat drops appeared on everyone's head and Jupiter Knight blushed.

"Well lets get going!" Mini Moon said

"Mmmhmm" Replied everyone

They ran inside and then Moon Knight said "I think it would be best if we split up."

"No!" Mini Moon said.

"This place is gigantic we'll have to split up." Mercury Knight explained.

"Even Mini onna is weak!" Mars Knight announced.

All of a sudden Mars Knight was slapped in the face my none other than Jupiter and Mars.

"Let's just split up." Duo said.

Moon Knight accompanied sailor Moon and Mini Moon. Mercury and Mini Mercury went with Mercury Knight, Mars and Mini Mars followed Mars Knight and Jupiter Knight followed Jupiter and Mini Jupiter.

Mercury was having trouble navigating through out the castle. Her daughter was also using a computer to navigate. Mercury Knight walked with his sword out guarding the two most precious things in his life. "Any thing yet, Mercury?" he asked.

Mercury scanned some more and shook her head, " I don't like this place. It's giving me the creeps. We haven't seen a soul! Not only that, but I don't want to put Isabelle in any danger."

"You don't have to worry about me!" Mini Mercury piped up.

'She's strong, Mercury. She's got my strength; I can see it in her eyes. Just give her a chance." Mercury Knight told his lover.

Mini Mercury smiled at what she was witnessing. She never knew Trowa felt this way about her. She wanted to make her daddy proud and show him and Ami she could fight like them.

Mercury knew there was no use fighting Trowa. He was a stubborn man, but she loved him no matter what. "I can't win with you, can I?"

Mercury Knight smiled and hugged his future wife. Mini Mercury smiled again, they are just like how they are in the future. They love each other and know there is no use fighting.

Mercury heard beeping and broke away from the hug. She looked down at her computer. "We found them! They're just up that staircase and to the left!" Sailor Mercury exclaimed." I'll tell the others." Her knight and future daughter smiled and they walked up the stairs with caution.

Almond and Pistachio were up the stairs and waiting for the Mercury family to approach him. What was he to do? This was too much for a young boy to handle! "Almond, quick use your powers!" commanded his dog. Tears formed in Almond's eyes. He couldn't do this, he just couldn't. He sensed goodness in these sailor soldiers. He wanted to be friends with them! Maybe they could help him escape?

Finally the Mercury family approached him. "What's wrong with him?" asked a very worried Mini Mercury. The young girl walked up to him, but suddenly Mercury Knight picked her up and pulled her back. "Don't go near him! It could be a trap."

"He's crying! We need to help him." Pleaded Mini Mercury. Mercury was worried too. She walked up to him and rubbed his head. "Are you alright?" The young alien shook his head. "What can we do to help you?" Almond looked into Sailor Mercury's eyes. "You're so kind and nice. Not anything like my evil mother." Almond sobbed.

Mercury told her knight to let down their daughter. He did as she said and the whole family crowded around this strange boy. "Is she the one who captured our friends?" Mini Mercury asked. Almond all of a sudden found him self in love with this young girl. All he could think about was her beauty and kindness. He noticed he was blushing while staring into her innocent hazel green eyes. "Yes, now please get all your friends and leave! If you don't she'll do something terrible." Almond warned the Mercury family.
