Rei screamed as she found herself pushed back as the powerful wave pushed forward, the wind making a hissing sound, the plexiglass breaking, the walls behind her pushed back, screams from the other students could be heard even though her mind zoned them out. As she noticed the woman, there was a strange aura around her, jumping down from the building with her time staff in her hand.

The key to every dimension lied in her hands as she shakily held onto it, a feeling of hurt entering her eyes. "Rei, do not defy my orders!" Her whisper of a voice rang through the air, her voice as clear as crystal.

Standing up, she noticed the red-head that had been with Anastacia earlier, standing before Pluto. "Yoko, I allowed you to come to the human world..." The woman said, her voice reprimanding and hurt, "and this is exactly what I deserve for believing that as a human you could someday do good."

The violet eyed female looked at Kurama, noticing blood coming quickly from a wound though her fast paced heart rate blurred her vision to see where it came from. "This will be both of your last stands!" The woman screamed as she ran over to them, trying to get to Kurama first.

Rei jumped in front of him but, just as quickly, was knocked away and flew into the school gate, about ten yards away from a planet shaped attack, its dark aura coming straight for her.

Before she could get up, the attack came and struck her at full force, she tried to block it which wasn't worth the time it took to put her arms up, the impact breaking the gate, melting parts that the attack touched. A deadly scream escaped her mouth after finally understanding why the attack had been named such a name.

Still, it hadn't killed her so she was either getting better at taking hits from powerful enemies or someone out there had protected her from dying; either way, she was thankful.

"Yoko Kurama," Pluto looked at the red-head, knowing who he truly was, "as the guardian of time, I cannot allow you to live on this place nor even in Reikai, any longer!"

Kurama shook his head, "You don't trust me, I understand that, but I didn't kill anyone!" he slowly tried to stand to his feet, but fell to the ground as the wound in his leg claimed his balance.

"This is the first I've heard of it! I just wanted to be human!"

Without listening anymore, she took the staff and slammed it into his neck as he coughed up blood almost immediately.

"Hey Bitch!" A voice from behind Kurama screamed, "Don't accuse Kurama of doing stuff until you have proof beyond a doubt, he has no motive to do anything, he's not some brainless demon!" A hand reached out and roughly pulled Kurama to his feet, hugging him protectively, "Don't you touch him."

"Yusuke...I thought you were in Japan still..."

"Reikai has many portals...don't worry about it."

Setsuna's crimson eyes stayed unfazed by the younger male who appeared on the scene and used her staff to hit him in the stomach and throw him onto the ground. "Young detective, stay out of the way." She said, passively as she made a shield around her body but stopped once she saw a fiery arrow blare past her, burning down the wall of the school.

"Rei, you have unusually bad aim today." Raising her staff higher into the sky, she commented as she noticed her shakiness as she ran over to Kurama but was thwarted by her shield.

Grabbing onto Yusuke, Rei heard her shoot another wave of energy of her chronos typhoon, a power of the gods, going the other way towards Kurama.

"Pluto-chan!" Usagi, Rei's best friend and princess, screamed as Pluto stopped for a moment and paused to look at her princess. "Please, stop!" She ran over to Kurama and covered over his body, "leave him and Rei alone!"

There was a moment of silence as Rei felt that energy that she had felt twice before coming from Pluto. It was definitely her body, and there was no mistake in her powers, but that aura was strange. It felt like a phantom trying to take over her aura as the planetary senshi. Could she be under someone else's control?

"Hai, Usagi." Setsuna said, her words seeming to mean nothing as she raised her staff as to slap her with it but was stopped with an ofuda thrown at her that suddenly became filled with the flames of Mars.

"Usagi, minna... we have to leave..." Rei screamed as she noticed her getting back up, slowly, the ofuda's effects having an effect.

Her theory was right, there was someone trying to use her body, but even so, Pluto was still a senshi so the effects were halved as she stood back up, her crimson eyes bloodthirsty.

'They seem to have all betrayed us...' Pluto closed her eyes and warned the senshi, the reikai, and makai telepathically, 'and they have the world's future queen kidnapped with them!'

Kurama used a vine to cut off the flow of blood in the leg that that been injured. It was numb, but it also meant it had no pain thus he could walk... or as the case may be, run.

He stood up, lightly pulling on Sailor Moon's arm to indicate for her to follow, "Rei-san is right, we have to get out of here; she's far too dangerous for any one of us to take on, we'd tie at best, losing at anything less than that."

He turned to Yusuke and the teen nodded, "All right, come on!" Yusuke grabbed onto Kurama's elbow, helping him along quickly as his wound still oozed some blood.

They ran for some time before Rei went back for Usagi and carried her on her back, for some time, before they got to some train tracks. Rei breathed hard as she realized they had went at least twenty miles away from the school.

"Shuichi-san, are you alright?" Rei questioned, trying to see if there were any herbs around and wishing Hotaru was here to heal him.

Yusuke turned to Rei, "No, I don't think Kurama is all right. I think he's been injured badly." The overly gelled-haired boy scratching the back of his head, hvaing come to help him with no plan and no idea on how to continue.

"Hush Yusuke." the redhead began to pull various herbs from his hair and unwrapped the vine that kept his pain numb. He suppressed a groan of pain from the sensation that now filled that area of him.

Usagi dropped to the ground, tears in her eyes, being the usual crybaby she had always been however, these tears meant something. Her opalescent blue eyes stayed intently on the ground as she finally spoke after a moment of silence, "Rei-chan, Shuichi-san... you guys didn't do all they said, did you?" She asked, not wanting to hear a yes and even so, even if they did say that, she would go in denial, not wanting that answer.

She wanted to believe in them.

"Mamo-chan had just recently died, Rei-chan..." She said as she played with the engagement ring on her finger as Rei realized one thing. There would be no Crystal Tokyo, not if he were dead and their future daughter, Chibiusa, would not be born. "Pluto said you left because you changed and you were the cause..." She stopped, not believing that she somewhat accused her. "Everyone thinks he's in America, doing his studies in Harvard... I didn't tell them what Pluto told me."

Rei couldn't speak. Wasn't it Setsuna whom told Luna to send her to Europe to investigate? "Usagi..." Nothing else came out. What if she didn't have any control of herself? Wait, no! Setsuna was being controlled, she knew it.

"You lost a lot of blood Kurama!"

"Yes. But I stopped it before it became fatal. Don't worry Yusuke. I'd be more at peace if you didn't worry." Yusuke grumbled something about not being able to not worry as Yusuke looked to Usagi, listening. It sounded bad even though he didn't understand everything that was said he understood enough to know it was very bad. He wished to say that he was sorry, but thought it better to say nothing and began to rub things into his wound. They stung, but would help.

Usagi stood up, looking at the lake near them... it shined so beautifully. Trying to think about something other than Mamoru, she looked at the lake and then noticed Rei walking over to Kurama with the intent of helping him.

Hmm... Mamoru always helped me whenever something was wrong. He would tell me that everything would be okay, give me hope, what I'd do to feel that hope. I wonder... if they

"Princess Serenity..." A voice called out to her. She turned though the voice wasn't quite familiar, a male's voice in fact. No one else heard it

Rei stopped and paused. "Do you feel that?" She asked as she unknowingly felt the energy of a Reikai army and the one who called her friend's name.

Usagi followed the voice.

Kurama looked up from his wounds. "Yes...I do feel it."

"Me too. It doesn't feel good...hey you!" Yusuke called after Usagi, "Where are you going?

Come back! It's probably dangerous!"

Kurama nodded almost weakly in agreement as she watched her try to walk away.

Within a moment, Usagi disappeared into the greenery while Rei jumped up after hearing Yusuke's proclamation and ran after Usagi.

It didn't take long for her to feel the youmas of reikai coming in towards Yusuke and Kurama.

"This...can't be good..." Kurama said finishing up his bandaging and slowly pulling himself to his feet.

"Sure it is, we'll kick them all out of the ballpark!" Yusuke said grinning. "Don't worry about it Kurama!"

"I'm glad you think so..." Kurama mumbled to himself.

"Come to me..." Usagi heard the voice again as she raced through the forest and stopped as she suddenly had seen Rei, smiling mystically and then suddenly disappear. There something different about her, something that bothered the blonde, but seeing that smile, she continued on that way, hoping she'd have a reason to smile, too.

In truth, Rei had never seen Usagi during the whole ordeal but she felt her energy disappear and then it took her a few moments to realize that a battle was on its way.

Botan looked down upon Yusuke and Kurama but avoided thier eyes. "I have been commanded to come and get ri-" It didn't feel right saying this about her friends but Sir Koenma gave her a mission and she had to follow it, "rid of you. The Guardian of Time has spoken of your-" Kurama and rebellion didn't go together and to imagine Yusuke doing something as joining in with murder just didn't fit in her mind.

However, she was reminded of what both of their profiles used to say about them, she continued, "rebellion... it is said rebellion is not forgiven in Makai!" She pointed her fingers towards them and the battle began with the youmas attacking the two of them.

"Mars Flame Sniper!" Rei shot her arrow at two of the demons, relinquishing them immediately.

Kurama pulled a rose from his hair. "Botan, I understand that you have your orders, but I've been framed. I haven't rebelled against anything...you must also understand that I cannot simply allow myself to be eliminated that easily." there was a pause as he swung the rose up, "Rose Whip!"

Yusuke nodded to Botan as well, "I believe in what Kurama says, he's done nothing wrong. When I heard about it, I called him, he seemed so panicky as he'd just heard about it too. Think about it Botan, Kurama and panic should never be in the same sentence." He prepared himself to hit and shoot anything that got in his way.

Botan took thought about it as she noticed the violet eyed girl come into battle and with her powerful priestess powers, she was destroying demons with just her ofudas. Kurama- panicking?

"Usagi disappeared, Shuichi-san!" Rei screamed as another demon came and grabbed onto her, trying to grab onto her neck and take a bit out of it. She fell to the ground and screamed as it pierced its nails into her flesh.

Another one grabbed onto Kurama from the back and threw its fangs into his neck while another ran to catch onto Yusuke.

Kurama yelled out in pain when the demon got his neck. Being used to being attacked in the stomach, he was used to that pain, but neck pain, that was different. He lashed out with his rose whip cutting off the demons arm and pulling the detached arm from his neck and coughing, blood coming from his mouth. This just was not his day.

He heard Rei scream a minute before. He turned her way, ignoring any pain he had as he tried to make his way to her, to help her, killing any demons that got in his way.

"STOP!" Botan couldn't take it anymore, she screamed in desperation as they didn't listen to her and knocked her to the ground.

Yusuke growled and dashed forward, avoiding the demon who tried to attack him and grabbing Botan, avoiding the attack. "I told you bitch, leave us alone, we're not doing anything!" he turned his face to Kurama.

Setsuna appeared, a smile on her usually sympathetic calm features. "Dead Scream." She whispered and an planet appearing attack appeared by her and she threw it towards Botan.

That strange aura, that isn't Setsuna. No, why didn't I notice it before? That's not her at all. Those eyes, this deathly pressure, an enemy... no, that's not her, at all.

"Kurama! Grab Rei! We gotta go!"

"Hai Yusuke." Kurama whispered, he couldn't yell, his voice was dying from the wounds that were too near his throat.

Rei passed out onto Kurama once he got to her. The stress had gotten to her. Somebody was powerful, cunning, and strangely was using their owns teams against them. Usagi was gone, and she couldn't call the senshi for they would surely think she had something to do with it.

Botan was about to run after them but stopped as she saw an illusion of someone appearing to look like Shuichi where Setsuna had stood. "Nani?!" Within seconds of feeling completely paralyzed out of fear, she saw a mass crew of news people holding cameras surround her.

What was going on? She suddenly felt a strange energy come over her, an energy that made her human form come out, an energy that seemed to be coming from the person in front of her, whoever it was.

Yusuke was right? Yes, this meant that Yusuke was right! She needed to warn them!

Then, without warning, using his signature move and copying his aura almost completely, she was hit with the rose whip. She closed her eyes in regret, knowing that she doubted her friends and could never apologize for her that and now this person would keep on trying to ruin all of them.

She turned to the left and saw the real Sailor Pluto, her eyes empty, her soul gone. Why hadn't she noticed before? As the grim reaper, she should have easily seen a soul displaced or had the soul just recently been completely removed?

The cameras weren't on her so she had done as she originally did when coming to take them back. "Guardian of Reikai, Sailor Pluto-sama," Botan screamed out as the woman walked closer to her, her eyes unyielding. "Listen, if you still can hear me, they need you. Let Reikai know of the treachery that's being done onto them. One of them is your friend, am I right? The other two are precious to me!"

"Child," The woman said as she kneeled down to the fallen woman, "I can't even help myself, just as you cannot change what is happening." The rose whip was pulled out of Botan's chest then went for her stomach then her throat, "Your memories are messed up. Let me fix them for you."

She screamed as her memories were suddenly changed to believe that the real Kurama had killed her and immediately, Setsuna, with her controlled mind, sent the memories onto Reikai as it showed a version like Shuichi of Rei incinerating her body

Then, looking at the camera people, the impersonators used their powers and killed them on live television.

Rei clung onto Kurama as the visions of what had just happened came into her mind. The world was going to turn against them, she knew it... and now, Shuichi had even less places to go!

Opening her eyes, she pointed to a cabin in front of them, not knowing why she was pointing... she pointed at it and fell back unconscious.

Kurama caught Rei and looked to Yusuke, biting his lip, "Yusuke!" he cried out, looking to the boy. "We have to go! Now!" They had no time! Kurama coughed, he could taste blood in his mouth, he needed to treat the wounds on him and Rei quickly.

Yusuke nodded, looking away, he couldn't do anything... he ran to Kurama's side. "Where to, old friend?"

Kurama gestured to where Rei had pointed. "Please," his voice was raspy. "Open the door..." Yusuke nodded and obeyed, Kurama quickly ran into the place, setting Rei down.

"Illusions." Kurama whispered as he used some of his precious energy to pull more herbs from his hair.

"What?"

"Illusions. Please Yusuke, I don't know how long my voice will last." Yusuke nodded and Kurama continued. "It's the only way. Illusions. I knew a few illusionist demons when I was Yoko, their illusions can seem deadly real." he rubbed a few herbs on Rei's wounds. "That's the only answer..."

"Is there any way to fight it?"

Kurama nodded, "One person at a time can fight it with a concoction...but we'd have to get people to eat it...which I doubt anyone would take a daisy from any of us at this point..."

Inside the cabin, there was a young girl with features similar to Rei: violet eyes and black hair. Her hair was short, to her neck to be exact and carried a pale skin tone that appeared beautiful on her. It was Hotaru, the sailor senshi of Saturn.

She smiled sweetly as she noticed Rei being held by Kurama. "You're Shui-chan!?" The child said surprisingly, expecting to see someone more dangerously looking. She walked over to him and touched his neck, her calmness making it impossible to fear other than her extreme kawaii-ness. Almost immediately, the wound in his neck healed.

"Rei-chan and you, I knew you guys couldn't have done those horrible things... besides, Mamoru-sama is still alive and well.." She said, a smile planted on her face.

Kurama looked to the girl, looking away from his slower healing of Rei's neck wounds. "My voice..." he put his hand to his throat.

"It's as fine as it ever was 'Shui-chan.'" Yusuke commented.

"Thanks...that's better than it dying on me without you knowing everything you need to about illusions." Kurama smiled a kind and warming smile at Hotaru. "You must be a senshi. Thank you for healing me."

"Speaking of those illusions Kurama...how do we know she's just pretending to not be under it?"

"We can't Yusuke...just as those under illusions don't know they are, we can't tell about them either...we have to have faith. I want to have faith that she isn't under it..." something clicked. "Wait, Mamoru! You said he was alive? Sailor Moon said he was dead! I didn't understand exactly what was wrong, but I could tell it meant something horrible... he's alive? Does that mean there's some sort of hope?" He reached out as if to touch Hotaru, as if to beg her to tell him it was okay.

"Please stay calm, Shui-chan," Hotaru said with a smile, "Usagi will fix this; she always does." Her smile was so calm, not a worry seemed to show even with her outfit being all black like a goth.

Kurama's grip on her tightened until he heard Yusuke reprimand him, "Kurama! Get a hold of yourself! You're changing." Kurama drew back his hands and grabbed at his hair and saw silver flicked through it.

"My eyes?" Kurama looked back to Yusuke.

"They're fine. Green as ever."

Kurama sighed in relief, he'd been losing control, panic does that. "No...we didn't do any of those things...we're all being framed by someone." Kurama picked up his herbs going back to healing Rei's neck. The sad look that was etched on his face was the exact opposite from the smile of Hotaru. He was worried beyond anything he'd felt before.

Looking around, she noticed that Usagi was gone and her smile faded, worry beset her but didn't show upon her childish features. "Mamoru also known as Prince Endyimon," She paused to see if the name rang a bell, "is the prince of the Earth. Before his death about a thousand years ago, he fell in love with Princess Serenity, the moon goddess... whom is supposedly an incarnation of Selene. They were reincarnated here along with Sailor Moon's senshi... after the battle against Metallia. However, they soon found out that at Usagi's tender age of 21, they would be crowned queen and king of the Earth. At that time, this place would be in eternal peace."

Rei finally woke up but kept her relaxed head on Shuichi's lap, too weak to still get up.

"However, Pluto warned me sometime before she started accusing Rei and you that something or someone was coming and they were changing the fabrics of time..." Hotaru said, questioning herself whom could truly be that powerful.

Rei listened to Hotaru speak and wondered if the other senshi felt like her.

"Changing the fabric of time?" Kurama repeated. His hair turned completely red again as he regained his normal calm. "That…doesn't sound good." His eyes narrowed and he took his hand away from Rei's neck, done with his healing.

"That kinda sounds too bad to be true." Yusuke said folding his arms a bit.

"Don't be so sure Yusuke…it may sound too bad to be one person…but remember most things come within a group. We're a group, the senshi are a group, who's to say that who ever is doing this isn't in a group as well?"

Yusuke nodded a bit understanding what he meant. "That would also include your illusionist idea. Someone within this group could be doing this…making everyone think we're evil."

"Hai. It very easily fits. While other people are messing with the time someone else may be messing with the minds of others to make them see differently."

"This is all so confusing…"

"Illusions are supposed to be. Especially for the people who are on the outside of them…looking in. We have to figure out someway to get past them and make people see what is really going on."

Rei closed her eyes slightly as four shadows appeared to her in a vision. "It's definitely a group..." She shrieked as she tried to get up from his lap but felt a great amount of pain enter her body as she tried to get up.

Hotaru's eyes widened, "Mars, please keep your body calm..." Placing her hand on her forehead, her eyes began to glow. "This place is meant to keep all of your auras hidden from everyone else which also means that your body will feel much weaker in this place. Do not struggle against my power." She looked at everyone, letting them know of this information also.

"For now, you all will need rest. I'll be your ultimate protection... if I become like one of them, this place will immediately lose its calming effects that slowly comes upon all of you. ChibiUsa helped me along with her senshi to make this shield."

Rei sat there, pushing herself away from Shuichi after feeling a tinge of his true form just moments before when his hair had suddenly changed but went back. "Arigatou, Shuichi-san for helping me."

"You're welcome Rei-san." Kurama said running his fingers through his hair and pulling a few herbs and offering them to Hotaru. "If you feel you're becoming like them, eat these. I know little about illusionists, but there may be a time before it completely takes over." he doubted any of the illusionists power would try to corrupt him, Rei, or Yusuke. They were the 'villians' in this.

"Kurama." the redhead looked to Yusuke. "Are you sure?"

"Pretty sure. I can't be sure with facts like I like to be, but I have faith...Rei-san. Yusuke. You two sleep...I need to think some more before I can."

Yusuke frowned, "But you're the one lowest on energy...you were hurt the most."

"It doesn't matter."

"Shui-chan, get some sleep... all of you..." Hotaru demanded, kindly but forceful. "None of you are in shape to not relax."

Rei got up, "I need to find Usagi..." Standing up, she spoke. "She's in danger... I can feel it!"

Hotaru looked up and out the window. "There's not much you can do, right now!" She reprimanded her, knowing how much she wanted to go after her princess. Her eyes instantly became cold like her counterpart, Sailor Saturn. "For now, allow me to be your brain and your prowess... you all will need your strength for tomorrow!"

Hotaru looked at the three, pretty sure Kurama nor Rei would listen and she had heard the overly gelled haired one hated authority figures. She walked outside and took that time to transform and to protect the place from anything coming in or out.

"Kurama should we really listen-"

Kurama cut his words off. "We have no choice Yusuke. She makes sense...we will need strength for tomorrow. I know. You don't like to be told what to do. Half of me doesn't like it either...but she does it in a senseful way. Go lay down."

Yusuke blinked once, then nodded, going over to Kurama's body and picking the fox up in his arms. "All right buddy...I believe you. You ~are~ the smart one."

"Yusuke...set me down. I can walk...and we're supposed to be resting."

"I will...in a moment." the teen grinned at his friend before heading over to a spot near the corner and setting him down. "There. I'll sleep by you."

"All right..." the redhead turned over onto one side and closed his eyes, seeming to go into a sleep-like state that was almost like a catnap.

Rei watched Yusuke and Kurama, thinking about Usagi and how she should be protecting her rather than trapped in this cabin. Feeling bad for watching Kurama for all this time, because of Setsuna, she opened her mouth to apologize but nothing came out.

Besides, in truth, she didn't really know him, only from times that they stopped and spoken to one another. It was strange... the cabin truly was calming and it made her sleep while all the while their bodies were being healed from use of Saturn's powers.

Rei woke up and walked around, noticing that Saturn had never returned to the cabin. Where was she?

She looked outside and saw the hankerchief Chibiusa had given her and her brooch on the ground. "Saturn?!" She screamed as she saw blood on the doorknob and realized the calming effect the home had had left.
