Inserting her USB, Mami watched as her computer was flooded with all the information that she had taken from the computers back at the school. Her eyes swiftly began to read through them, ″The Crystal's power will aid our great ruler in finally conquering this world... What we do know is that the Silver Crystal is with the moon princess, but we have no way of knowing who that is... We must collect energy in the mean time, as much energy as possible so as to awaken our great ruler... The humans in this Crystal Disc program will certainly give us an adequate amount of energy as they study...″

Mami clasped her hands, and took in a deep breath. Looking away from her computer Mami turned her gaze to the waning moon. Running a hand through her hair, Mami looked back to the computer.

'So, they want to rule the world? I'm pretty sure I'll be coming conflict with these people. This Sailor Moon though. She fights against them. So maybe we could join forces. Maybe anyway.' Mami stretched and went on reading the documents. She found a lot of it just to be jargon for the mind control program though. As she finished about three fourths of it, she had fallen asleep.

The dream she had this night was different from the ones before. This time she dreamed of herself running away from something, her one hand brandishing a sword while the other held the delicate hand of... someone. As she looked back to the girl she was dragging along with her she saw it was the silhouette of the girl that she had been seeing in all her other dreams. Mami began to feel a rising tension in her chest, there was something off. Looking forward she kept on running. Looking at herself she realized that she looked different. She was a man. She knew it was herself, but she also knew that she was for some reason a man in this dream. Looking back to the girl she saw that she had been enveloped by darkness. Two glowing eyes leered at her and then something from the darkness blinded Mami.

Waking with a cold sweat Mami began breathing heavily. Looking to her hands she saw them quivering, but free of the girl's hand and the sword. Clenching them, Mami scoffed and quickly got herself out of bed. Walking over to her closet she took out her coat and began headed outside. The night was silent and still save for the insects that fluttered about the streetlights. Mami came to a stop in the middle of one of the streets and looked up to the moon.

″What am I?″ she quietly asked as she held her chest. Shutting her eyes she pictured the dream again, and as she did a sharp pain erupted in her head. Letting out a gasp of pain she fell onto her knees and began holding her head. Looking before her she saw a man staring back at her. He too was on his knees holding his head. The man was transparent, and out of focus like when a camera blurs things. Mami reached out to the man, and he did the same. As they touched she surged with images similar to her memories, save that she was a man in these. Falling over Mami passed out and was met for the first time nothing but darkness in her sleep.

As she awoke it was still dark, and as she began to move herself about she realized she had never left her room. Mami flinched as her head began to hurt again. ″What is this... what's happening to me?″ Mami toppled out of bed and went to the bathroom where she looked herself in the mirror. ″Am I... a man? Or was he a woman?″ Mami turned on the faucet and began splashing her face. ″Keep it together Chiba. Its a dream... a dream different from what you've been having for the last few months.″ Sighing she shook her head and sat on the toilet. Holding her aching head she glared about the bathroom. ″I feel like I'm still me. But what does that dream mean?″ Shaking her head, Mami took out some pain relievers from her medicine cabinet and went back to bed.

In the morning she headed right to school, but again found herself not able to keep her attention. She kept tapping her notebook, listening to the droning of her teacher. What should she do now? Should she keep finding ways to find the Silver Crystal, or should she just take a break from it for a bit. Sighing she slumped down in her desk. As she did she heard her teacher call her name. ″Yes Ma'am?″ Mami sat right up and stared at her smug looking teacher.

″Since your so bored with the class, why don't you show us how to finish this problem?″ Her teacher pointed at the board which had a calculus problem. Mami groaned and walked over to the board.

Staring blankly at the Sailor V game she traced the path that the screen saver's Sailor V was going. Mitoki sat next to her and patted her shoulder. ″Don't sweat it Mami, we all have our off days. What happened to get you so unfocused though?″

″A weird dream where I was a man, or met a male version of myself...″ Mami sighed and rested her head on the game's screen.

″Please don't do that.″ Mitoki said as he gently moved her head away from the screen. ″I already have to clean it from you tracing your finger all over it. That is a pretty odd dream though, but don't worry too much about it. Just a dream right?″

″Yeah, I guess so...″ Mami looked over to some girls gossiping with each other.

″Nanami hasn't been seen since she went to Hikawa Shrine... not just her either.″

″I know, I've been hearing there is some weird curse going on at that place... something to do with a blank bus. People are said to just go onto it for no reason. Like something took them over. It's freaky...″

Mami looked back to the Sailor V screen and clenched her hands. 'Maybe I can do more than just search for a Crystal with these new powers I've gotten.'
