Chapter 2
Etsuko walked with her brother down one of the sidewalks in town, carrying her school bag over her shoulder. Her sunglasses covered her eyes as she walked. "I haven't felt any more disturbances." She said softly to him knowing Mamoru was keeping an eye and ear out for any sort of problems.
"It's only been a week." Mamoru pointed out softly to his sister as they walked.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, there's been a buzz through Keio Senior High."
Mamoru looked over at his sister. "What is it?" He asked curiously wondering what the buzz could be.
"There is a new disc of some kind out and a few of the girls have left school to join…"
Suddenly a paper hit Mamoru in the face that was crumpled up. He grabbed the crumpled paper in frustration. "Hey! You, with the buns. I'm not a trash can!"
The girl was shocked to see Mamoru standing there with the crumpled-up paper and a girl beside him. "Oh. Hey, you're that guy!"
Etsuko blinked a few times looking at the cat with the golden crescent on her head. "Did… did your cat just talk?"
"O-of course not! Bye." The girl said quickly walking away from the two of them.
Etsuko looked at her brother with her brows furrowed. "I'm sure that I wasn't hearing things…"
Mamoru patted his sister's shoulders. "Don't worry about it." He pointed out softly. "I'm sure that it's nothing."
A woman's hand shot out holding out two fliers. "Here! Have a flier."
Mamoru and Etsuko both took the fliers from the woman before quickly moving away from the woman.
Etsuko looked at the flier that she held in her hand. "This is the program that I was talking about." She said looking up at her brother. "This is the program that some of my classmates have left to go and do."
Mamoru pursed his lips together. "I think we should check it out."
Etsuko nodded her head in agreement. "I agree with you on that one."
SAILORMOON
Etsuko sat down next to her brother as he put the disc into the computer. Her lips pursed together in concern. "I hope that it's nothing." She said softly as he clicked on the program.
"As sacrifice… submit to our supreme ruler. Gather all the data that you can find about the mystical Silver Crystal. All the data."
Mamoru quickly exited the program. He looked over at his sister seeing her brows pinched together in concern.
"It sounds like a mind control program…" Her hands clenched at her sides in anger as she got up to her feet. She couldn't believe that some of her friends were being used in mind control to find out any information about the Silver Crystal. "Moru…"
Mamoru got up to his feet. "I know."
"They're in danger." She said moving out of the room quickly. Her hands shook at her sides as she went towards her room. She quickly went to her closet and opened it quickly. She dug into the back of her closet.
SAILORMOON
A woman followed behind Tuxedo Mask, her hair whipped behind her as they made it to the room where they could feel the disturbance. She looked at him. "Ready?" She questioned softly.
Tuxedo Mask nodded his head firmly and opened the door.
The woman followed him into the room.
"SAILOR MOON KICK!" A girl's voice rang out kicking at the non-human that was causing problems at that very moment. But she couldn't keep herself steady and ended up falling back only to get caught by Tuxedo Mask.
"Be careful! The enemy is right in front of you!" Tuxedo Mask shouted at her.
"Tuxedo Mask?"
He put her down on her feet. "Now, go rescue your friend."
The woman next to him held her hand out to him that was gloved in black, her outfit almost close to his except for a cape and jacket. "Come on, Tuxedo Mask, we need to get out of here."
Tuxedo Mask nodded his head as he moved quickly knowing that they needed to get out of there and out of danger. The two of them couldn't fight their lack of skills no matter how hard they tried.
"Wait." The girl called out.
The two of them ran out of the room ignoring the call from the young woman who called out to them. They rushed towards the exit to get out of there.
"That's the Sailor Moon that you talked to me about?" She questioned as she pushed her black mask up her face to make sure that it didn't slide down her face and lose it.
"Yes."
"And it seems like a new scout is joining her. Perhaps we will be in good hands. Perhaps we can use them."
Tuxedo Mask looked at the young woman he ran with as they turned the corner and went inside the building. They ran up the stairs and to an apartment opening the door. He removed his hat and mask.
The young woman removed her black mask looking up at him.
"Suko, you think that they could help us?"
"Yes, I would think. Perhaps they are the key to finding the Silver Crystal." Etsuko said, looking at Mamoru. "And hopefully it'll unlock why we both keep having nightmares at night. Why do you dream of a girl telling you to find the Silver Crystal and me having nightmares of a man being killed before me protecting me." Etsuko wrapped her arms around herself, her eyes tearing up.
Mamoru came over to her and wrapped his arms around her. "We'll find out why, Suko."
"Moru, what if it is something that was better forgotten?"
"We'll figure it out. I promise you that we will. Like we always have."

This is the end of Chapter 2. I hope that you guys enjoyed this chapter. I tried my best to write this chapter out and make it good. Of course, it takes time to make chapters good and flow properly. I just hope that I did alright with it. Please leave a review and let me know what you think. In a way, I'm excited to continue with this and I promise you that there will be sections where it won't deal with the manga whatsoever. There will be more in-detail nightmares as time goes on. I hopefully will update you next week with a new chapter. Until next time.
