Chapter 2: The Crown

Makoto followed Usagi into the Crown where two girls stood waiting. "Ami-chan, Rei-chan, this is my new friend Makoto-chan!" Usagi introduced. "It's nice to meet you Makoto-chan," Ami said kindly. "Yea, It's nice to know we have someone else to back us up," Rei added.

"Thank you. It's nice to meet you two as well," Makoto smiled.

"Hey, Serena. How are you?" A young man said as he approached the girls. "Oh Motoki-Nii! I failed my pretest!" Usagi whined. Motoki chuckled. "So everything is normal then?" He asked with a grin. "Don't be so cruel!"

Makoto couldn't help stare at the young man, he had short blonde hair and kind blue eyes. She couldn't help but look at his lips that were formed in a lopsided grin. He looked very kind, and very attractive. "Makoto-chan! Hey, earth to Makoto-chan!"

Makoto blinked a few times as Usagi waved her hands in front of her face. She blushed realizing she had been caught staring. "S-sorry Usagi-chan what did you say?" She asked. "I was introducing you to Motoki-Nii! He works here at the crown."

"Oh, Hello Motoki-san."

"You can just call me Motoki-kun. That's what Rei-chan and Ami-chan call me anyway."

"Alright then Motoki-kun. My name is Makoto Kino."

"It's a pleasure Makoto-chan," He said with a smile and held out his hand. Makoto took his hand and shook it. "Look like I have to get back to work. If you ever need anything let me know!" He said before going back behind the counter.

"Zoisite!" a shrill voice snapped. "Yes my Queen?" Zoisite replied nervously.

"I'm running out of patience with you. What you did the other night was pathetic and stupid."

"I know Queen Beryl. I do have an Idea to lure Sailor Moon and the other out."

"Fine. This better be good."

"I've watched them go around in their civilian forms, they spend a lot of time at the arcade called the Crown. There is a young man that works there and Sailor Moon seem to think pretty highly of him. If I captured him I have no doubt they come for him."

"Fine. Make sure you have the monsters necessary to defeat the Sailor Senshi this time. It it obvious this new Scout is too much for you." Queen Beryl said bitterly. Zoisite gulped as she nodded. "Yes my Queen."

"Rats! I can't get passed this part!" Makoto said as she lost another round of Sailor V. "Well you've gotten further than Rei-chan and me..." Usagi grumbled. "Ami-chan probably has the highest score though believe it or not," Rei added. Makoto laughed, "Yea, i guess being really smart helps in any situation huh Ami-chan?" Ami shrugged a little. Usagi smiled as she watched Makoto interact with Ami and Rei. She's definitely starting to come out of that shell of hers!

Zoisite walked into the Arcade disguised to go unnoticed by the Sailor Scouts. As she walked in she saw the four girls seated by one of the games. With a sneer she looked away, for she knew they would have to wait. Behind the counter she saw a young man with blonde hair talking to a customer and grinned.

"Excuse me young man! May I have a word with you?" She called as she approached the counter. "Of course, how can I help you?" Motoki asked in a friendly tone.

"I hear you're grandfather owns this place and I was wondering if I could talk to him. You are Motoki Furuhata yes?"

"Uh, yea. I'm not sure if my grandfather is around but you welcome to come in the back with me to check..."

"Wonderful!"

Zoisite followed him into the back of the building, barely containing her glee. He was doing exactly what she wanted him to do, it was almost too easy. Motoki knocked on one of the door in the hallway. "Granddad? Are you in there?" When he didn't get an answer he turned the door knob and opened the door stepping inside a little.

"Well Miss I'm sorry but- oof!" Motoki fell forward into the room. Zoisite moved in an closed the door behind her.

"W-what do you think you doing?!" Motoki demanded.

"I'm hate to break it to you boy but you'll be coming with me for a little while."

Zoisite extended her arm out and released magic upon Motoki. He seemed to freeze for a moment as if his mind had gone completely blank. Then, his bright blue eyes seemed to have a darker glint to them as she stood slowly. "Now Motoki, you'll be a good little boy and follow me won't you?" Zoisite asked.

"Yes master." Motoki's said with an empty voice. Zoisite chucked darkly at her success."

Usagi had seen Motoki go into the back of the Crown with an older woman a few minutes ago but hadn't paid it much attention. As she looked, she saw Motoki come back out, following the woman almost like he was in a trance. "Motoki-Nii!" she called out to him, gaining the other girls attention. When Motoki didn't even glance her way she walked up to him with the girls at her heels.

"Motoki-Nii! Where are you going?" Usagi asked.

"I'm leaving work early today, there's something I need to take care of," he replied blankly. "Oh, o-okay..." Usagi said with a small frown.

"Come along Motoki, we have business to attend," said the woman who was walking with him. She watched as they left with furrowed brows and a bigger frown.

"Is everything alright with him Usagi-chan? I mean he seemed different than when I met him earlier, his eyes almost seemed darker..." Makoto said thoughtfully. "I don't know... he did seem awfully different."

"I sensed something evil about that woman he was with," Rei growled. "You don't think it might have been a Youma?" Usagi asked worriedly.

"It's very good possibility. You'll have to keep a close eye on him when you see him again Scouts..." Luna told them sternly.

"Well done Zoisite, you managed to kidnap Sailor Moons civilian friend," Queen Beryl praised. Motoki laid unconscious on the ground at Zoisite's feet. "It was the easiest thing I've ever done. Now we can use him to lure out the Sailor Scouts. All I need is your permission to use some of your stronger Youma Queen Beryl."

"I will grant you two of them, they are my third best under the seven shadow warriors. Do not fail me Zoisite. I am tired of being disappointed."

"I will defeat them my Queen." Zoisite said confidently.

"Now I just have to send word to Sailor Moon and watched as my plan comes to a close!"

Zoisite disappeared with Motoki with a sinister laugh.

"Usagi! check in the kitchen, someone sent you some mail." Mrs. Tsukino said as Usagi came home. "Okay!"

Usagi skipped into the kitchen seeing a white envelope and picking it up before running up the stairs to her room.

"Who's the letter from Usagi-chan?" Luna asked as she peered over Usagi's shoulder. "It doesn't say. Oh! Maybe it's a love letter from Tuxedo Kamen!" Usagi squealed as she tore into the envelope. There was a folded up letter inside and as she started to unfold it something slipped out into her bed sheets. "What's this? A picture?" Usagi picked up the small square and turned it around. With a gasp she dropped the picture. The picture was of Motoki bound and unconscious in some dark unknown place. "Luna! That woman we saw at the Crown today, It was Zoisite! She took Motoki-Nii!"

"This is bad, what did the letter say!" Luna asked. "It was addressed to Sailor Moon. She said that I would have to come to the park at midnight to get him back!" Usagi cried out! "Call the other scouts and lets go. It's 11:30 already Usagi-chan!"

Makoto was washing the dishes she had used for dinner that night when she felt her communicator buzz. "Usagi-chan?"

"Makoto-chan! You have to get to the park now! That woman that attacked us last night has Motoki-Nii!"

"What?! Unbelievable! I'll show her, I won't miss this time with the Supreme Thunder!" Makoto growled as she dried off her hands and grabbed the transformation pen from the counter. "I'll see you there Usagi-chan!"

"Okay!"

Makoto saw Usagi, Rei and Ami as she reached the park. "Do you see them?" Makoto asked. "No," Usagi sniffed. "Don't start crying Usagi-chan! We should transform," Rei snapped.

"Rei-chan is right girls," Luna agreed.

Usagi then got a determined look on her face, "Right! Moon Prism Power Make Up!"

"Mars Power Make Up!"

"Jupiter Power Make Up!"

"Mercury Power Make Up!"

As their transformations finished they heard a dark chuckle from above. "Zoisite had appeared out of nowhere dropping Motoki to the ground as she descended. "How dare you use an innocent young man as bait! You shouldn't take advantage of people's friendships! In the name of the Moon, I punish you!" Sailor Moon shouted.

Makoto looked beyond Zoisite to Motoki lying on the ground. She saw him move a little as his eye's started to open. His eyes were a bright blue, like they were when she first met him earlier that day but they lacked the warm kindness and a look of pure fear was the replacement. "Sailor Moon? Is that you?!" Motoki called out with hope. "Don't worry, we're here to save you!" Sailor Moon said.

"Let's see how well you can handle my little pets Sailor brats!" Zoisite Challenged.

Two Youma materialized in front of the Sailor Scouts, one was black with Fiery hair and hands while the other looked like a human shaped mass of electricity. "Hijimaa, Kaminarito, destroy the Sailor Scouts!"
