"We'll go to the asteroids!"said Uranus.
For once, Kunzite seemed to agree right away with someone who wasn't King Endymion.
"But it will take forever to find anything in the asteroids!"said Mercury.
"Whatever time it takes!"Uranus responded.
They arrived in the asteroid belt.
"Where do we start?"asked Jadeite. "On an asteroid?"
"There's nothing but asteroids here, Jadeite."said Zoicite, crossly.
"He's right, though. Which one should we start searching?"Jupiter asked Kunzite.
Kunzite looked through the files on the computer.
"We should probably search for the source of these radiowaves."he said, as he analyzed the data.
It took a while before he had an answer.
"I've narrowed it down to this section. Once we get there, we can probably tell by looking. It's the section of the belt that's further from either Mars or Jupiter at this point."
"This is just getting weirder and weirder."muttered Nephrite.
They weren't far enough from the Sun, to see most of the stars, but that was what was most prominent in background.
"It's kind of weird, to see stars everywhere, not just above."said Mars.
"Yeah, it is."agreed Jadeite. "But I think it's kind of romantic. Maybe we should travel away from Earth more often."
Venus observed them, and turned away, as she saw Jadeite put his arms around Mars. Kunzite was absorbed in the computer, completely oblivious to everything and everyone.
"That particular one looks much larger than the others."he said, pointing at one. "Let's go."
"There's nothing there."said Venus.
"Maybe it's inside, like within the asteroid."he said. "Not on the surface."
"Then we'd have to find a way in."said Pluto.
Kunzite nodded his head in confirmation.
"So we'd still have to search the surface."
"Particularly the mountains, craters, and such. The plains must be left for last, that's the least likely place where'd we find anything."
They waited for a while, until they found what looked like a cave in one of the craters.
"Let's start there."
They stepped on the surface of the asteroid, as none of them needed space suits. They followed the cave into a tunnel, which spread out into smaller tunnels, in several different directions, but none as large as the one they were following.
"This could be a trap."said Jupiter.
"Or it could just be a dead end."added Mars.
"This kind of reminds me of the first time we went to the North Pole, and…"Mars trailed off.
Everyone tried to ignore her. No one liked to think about that. The shitenou had been enslaved by Beryl, and had fought against the senshi then. Even Endymion had been brainwashed.
"There's only one way to find out."said Uranus.
They went onto find the tunnel got larger.
"And there are sure signs of radiation you would find in any inhabited planet. So, there must be someone here."said Mercury.
The tunnel suddenly ended and became a large room.
"It looks like it's been inhabited for a while. Should we spread out?"she asked.
Kunzite nodded.
"But we should remain in contact."he said.
"I think we should stick together."said Nephrite.
Everyone else agreed. They searched as one group. Finally, they found something.
"Neptune!"exclaimed Uranus.
