Chibi Usa was awakened in the middle of the night by a loud siren. It took her a solid minute to realize what it was. Then, she sat bolt upright, shocked. "That's the emergency alarm!" she cried. She leapt out of bed and transformed into Sailor Chibi Moon, then ran out of the room. In the hall she met the Sailor Quartet, already transformed.

"What's going on?" she asked them.

"Someone's trying to gain entrance to the palace," said Sailor Ceres, "but that's all we know!"

The five of them hurried to the entrance hall, where the other Senshi were gathered with King Endymion and his knights. Helios, Aurora, and Eos were there, as well. Just as Chibi Moon hurried to her parents side, there was a deafening crash, and the front door flew open. Swarms of shadowlike creatures stormed inside, and the fight began. They seemed to be aiming for the middle of the group, were the residents of Elysion stood. Eos screamed when one of the creatures tried to grab her.

"Sailors Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn, protect them!" ordered Neo-Queen Serenity.

"World Shaking!" cried Sailor Uranus, unleashing a yellow sphere at the creature that was after Eos. It plowed through everything in its way and smashed into the creatures back. With a howl, the beast dissolved into nothingness.

"Deep Submerge!" said Sailor Neptune, attacking with an aqua-colored sphere of energy.

"Dead Scream!" said Sailor Pluto, unleashing a purple sphere from her Talisman, the Garnet Rod.

"Space Sword Blaster!" said Sailor Uranus, attacking with her Talisman, the Space Sword.

Sailors Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus cleared the area around them of the shadow creatures with their attacks, then stood defensively around Aurora, Eos, and Helios. Saturn joined them and cried "Silence Wall!", bringing up a barrier to defend them.

"Alright, let's get rid of these things, quickly!" said Sailor Venus. "Venus Love-Me Chain!" She plowed through a row of enemies with a whip of heart-shaped chain links.

"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Sailor Mercury unleashed a powerful spray of water at a group of enemies trying to break through Saturn's wall.

Sailor Jupiter gathered electricity in a lightning rod on her tiara, then cried "Supreme Thunder!" and unleashed the blitz.

"Burning Mandala!" said Sailor Mars, shooting fireballs from her hands.

The Sailor Quartet attacked with arrows, felling many of the beasts from a distance, while the knights dueled with their swords.

"Are you ready, Small Lady?" asked Serenity. Chibi Moon nodded, and they summoned the Kaleidomoon Scopes. They then said together "Moon Gorgeous Meditation!" Their attack was so powerful it eliminated half of the shadow creatures in one shot.

Suddenly, they heard Sailor Saturn scream. The wall she had created disappeared and she went flying through the air, colliding hard with a pillar and slumping to the ground. Neptune and Uranus were on the floor, conscious but wounded, and a shadow creature that was much larger than the others had Pluto by the neck. The Inner Senshi moved to help her but were blocked by reinforcements that had just entered the castle. They fought to get past them as the larger beast flung Pluto aside. It turned to Helios, and Eos and Aurora stood protectively in front of him, but it swatted them aside.

"YOU," it said to Helios in the most inhuman voice he'd ever heard. "YOU COME WITH ME." It reached out it's massive hand and grabbed him, then held out its other hand. A large mirror appeared in front of it, and it moved to step through.

"No!" screamed Chibi Moon, launching herself through the blockade of smaller beasts, desperate to reach Helios before it was too late. "Sailor Quartet, I need you!" The Sailor Quartet rushed to her side, raining down arrows to stop the monstrous beast. "Attack with me!" ordered Chibi Moon as the monster shook off the arrows and continued to move towards the mirror.

"Pink Ladies Freezing Kiss!"

The attack hit the beast full force, and the monster swayed, apparently defeated. It collapsed heavily, slamming Helios onto the floor, and dissolved like the others. Helios sat up where he was in front of the mirror, which had not disappeared. His lip was bleeding but other than that he seemed to be stunned at the most.

"Helios!" cried Chibi Moon, rushing toward him. Suddenly, silken webs shot out of the mirror and wrapped around Helios' arms, legs, and torso. He reached for Sailor Chibi Moon as best he could, and she grabbed his hand. "I'm not losing you again!" she said, pulling against the threads as they began to drag Helios through the mirror. The Sailor Quartet grabbed onto her and helped her pull. The webs strained as the Senshi slowly managed to pulled him away from the mirror.

A voice reverberated through the room, seemingly without a source. "You will not stop me!"

A current of dark energy raced across the webbing, and Helios screamed in agony as it coursed through him. The current ran through his hand to the five girls struggling to hold on to him, and they too screamed from the pain. Chibi Moon realized with horror that she was losing her grip on Helios' hand and tried to correct it, but his fingers slipped through hers.

"NO! Helios!" she screamed as he disappeared through the mirror. She ran forward, trying to go through, too, but it disappeared before she could reach it, along with the shadow creatures that remained. She dropped to her knees and let out an anguished cry. This couldn't be happening again! It wasn't fair!

Serenity rushed to her daughter and knelt down beside her. "What happened?" she asked.

Chibi Moon looked at her, her face soaked with tears, and threw her arms around her. "Mama," she sobbed. "They took him! I've lost him again!"

Serenity held her daughter as she cried and stroked her hair. "It's okay, sweetie. I promise you we will find him, but you need to be strong for him."

Chibi Moon sniffled, but tried to stop her tears. "I'll be strong, Mama," she said quietly, "just help me bring him back…" She sat up and wiped her eyes with the back of her gloved hand, then looked at her mother with determination. "How can we find him?" she asked.

Serenity and Endymion exchanged a glance, then the king said, "There may be a way. I can't guarantee it will work, but I'm fairly certain that it will."

"Let's do it then! Please!"

"Come with me, then." Endymion helped his wife and daughter to their feet, then turned and walked into the main palace.
