Yes, I know it has been a while. Just please don't hurt me. I had a
terrible case of writer's block. I mean, I knew where to go but not how to
get there. *sigh* that's the story of my life. But anyway, here it is.
Sorry for the delay.
No own Charmed or Sailor Moon!
*******************
Leo orbed to where he sensed Piper and her sisters. They weren't at Motoki's anymore so he tried to get to them faster. Something had to be wrong if they left the house.
He appeared in the middle of Rei's room. And right as he saw Piper resting on the floor between Paige and Phoebe, he knelt down beside her.
"What's wrong?" he asked frantically. "Why are you three here?"
Phoebe put a hand on Leo's arm to calm him a little. "Its okay, Leo; at least for now. We needed some help with Piper. She was hysterical and we couldn't get a hold of you."
Leo looked down. "Gomen, I was with the Elders."
"What did they want?" Paige asked softly.
"For us to leave Tokyo."
"Nani?!"
"I told them that we weren't going to leave until we accomplished what we have set out to do."
"Good," Rei said, finally speaking up. "I think we are going to need your help." She stood up and walked over to the doorway to her room. "Piper's a mess," she said, steering the subject away from what was really on her mind. "She really needs Prue."
"But the Elders won't let Prue come down," Phoebe said softly as she stroked Piper's hair.
Paige looked over at Leo. "Maybe you can talk them into it."
"I don't know. I was pretty.......rude to them."
"You were rude??" Paige asked, shocked.
"Um," Leo looked down. "A little."
Phoebe smiled then sighed. "So, what do you suggest we do?"
"Get Prue here now," Rei said sharply. "These 'Elders' don't seem to care about Piper. So, I say you find her yourself and bring her here."
"You're right," Leo said. "I'll go try to find her." He stood up and took a deep breath. "Rei-chan, would it be alright if they stayed here? I think it'd be best if we kept Piper in one spot." And with that said, he orbed out of the room and 'Up There' to find Prue.
After he left Rei looked over at the sisters. "You three can stay in here. I have to go cook breakfast. If you need anything---"
The beeping of her communicator interrupted her. She groaned and picked it up. "Hai?"
Usagi's voice came through the speaker. "Rei, there's a youma at the park. This time for real."
Rei didn't say anything in response. She just closed the communicator. "I've got to go. If we need you, we'll call." And with that, she left the room, a flash of red signaling to the sisters that she transformed before she was on her way.
*******************
Usagi watched as her four best friends and closest protectors arrived at the park. The youma was big and ugly. But they were all ugly so nothing was different there. It was, however, smarter than the previous ones. And it had one goal: to kill the Sailor Senshi.
Usagi sighed in frustration when her four closet friends started arguing amongst themselves again the moment they saw each other. They were in a circle, all of them yelling at one another at the top of their lungs, ignoring Usagi's pleads to stop. It was at that moment that Usagi wished she had let the outers come to help.
It happened so quick that Usagi didn't really know what was going on until the pain was terrible. Apparently, while she was watching the senshi, the youma took advantage of the situation and grabbed her around the waist. It brought her up to its eyes and snarled.
"Sailor Moon will die first. And then her loud friends." And the squeezing started. The youma was strong and it knew it. It squeezed Sailor Moon with all its might and while it was squeezing it was draining her energy.
It hurt. And Usagi knew pain. She considered herself no stranger to it. But this pain was worse than ever before. Even when she was dying all those other times, it never hurt this bad. In fact, it hurt so badly, she couldn't scream. Her body was being squeezed and she could feel her bones breaking as the youma just grinned at her. And to make it worse she felt tired; so very tired. She couldn't lift her head. But she could at least grunt as another rib broke.
'I'm going to die and the senshi won't even know until it's too late,' she thought as her vision started fading. But suddenly she was falling. The ground was rushing toward her and all she could do was close her eyes and wait for the impact. But it never came. She landed in soft, strong arms.
"Usako," a kind, gentle voice whispered.
"Mamo-chan," she muttered. "It hurts."
Mamoru felt anger start to rise up in his throat. He had stayed behind when Usagi first sensed the youma, knowing that she and her senshi needed to work things out. But when he felt her pain all the way across town he didn't hesitate. He left the apartment, transforming during his jump to the next building's roof. When he saw the youma squeezing his love, he acted quickly. He threw his trademark rose and caught his princess before she hit the ground. And the senshi were still arguing.
He turned to the senshi, anger flaming in his eyes. "Bakas!!!!!" He shouted.
The senshi stopped, turned, and looked at their prince.
"Nani?" Makoto asked angrily.
"What right do you have to call us that?" Rei shouted.
"What right?" Mamoru asked loudly. "What right?! This is my right!" He shouted, motioning with his head to the limp Usagi still in his arms. "My wife is close to dying because the four of you couldn't see that something is wrong with all of you. You don't see the evil clouding your minds! You were just arguing away while this beast almost killed your princess and best friend!"
Silence fell over the four young women. But that didn't last for long. The youma had had enough of this talking. It wanted Sailor Moon and the others dead.
"You die now!" It shouted as it swiped at Tuxedo Kamen with one of its large clawed hands. The masked hero didn't see it coming and flew through the air, Usagi still in his arms, and landed a few feet away in a heap.
Something lifted in the senshi's minds. Minako shook her head, blinking quickly. Looking at the others, she noticed them doing the same. Sure, she was still angry with them but that would have to be dealt with later.
"Minna," she said. "Mamoru-kun is right. We need to stop this youma before it kills Usagi. We can short out our differences later."
Rei narrowed her eyes at Minako but nodded. She knew the princess of Venus was right. Usagi always came first. She turned to the youma and sized it up. It was tall; around 15 feet tall. But they could handle it.
"Mars Flame Sniper!"
The flaming arrow hit the youma in the chest. Minako took this as her cue and stepped up, ready with her new attack.
"Love Explosion!" she shouted. A big gold heart formed in her hand and she threw it at the flaming arrow. The heart embedded itself on the arrow and then exploded loudly, blowing the youma to bits as it screamed in agony.
Ami glanced over at Minako. "Did that seem too easy to you?" she asked softly.
Minako nodded. "It did but we need to check on Mamoru and Usagi."
*****************
Leo was orbing back to the sisters with bad news. He hadn't been able to find Prue. Neither Penny nor Patty knew where she was and he didn't have the nerve to face the Elders. So he orbed everywhere looking for but there was no trace of the oldest Halliwell sister.
He didn't know what to do except report back to his sisters-in-law. But something stopped him. It felt like a light touch on his shoulder. He changed his direction mid-orb and appeared in a small white room.
Looking around for whoever touched him he noticed how much the room lacked in decoration. There were no windows, only one door and nothing on the walls. The only thing that was actually in the room was the small wooden chair in the middle of the room.
"Leo," a familiar voice said behind him.
He quickly turned around. "Prue?!"
To be continued.....hopefully sooner than last time. Stupid block!!!!! Love all of you!! REVIEW!
