Neptune was unconscious, tied by her hands and feet.
"Do you think she's dead?"asked Venus, who was trembling.
"I don't think so."said Kunzite, calmly.
"She's still alive."confirmed Mercury. "But barely, I think. We have to get her back to Crystal Tokyo."she said.
"And we have to get out of here."agreed Nephrite. "I don't like this place. I have a very bad feeling about it. It'll be better if we leave as soon as possible."
"Yes."everyone else agreed.
They turned to exit, however, they found the exit blocked, but not by rocks, however, but what seemed like a door.
"We're trapped!"exclaimed Jupiter. "It was a trap?!"
"That's right."they heard a familiar voice from behind.
They turned, and saw two familiar forms approach them.
"It can't be!"exclaimed Mars.
Everyone else stared speechless. Before them, stood Beryl and Diamond. Mercury had to grab hold of something to keep from losing her balance.
"But you're-they're dead."said Jadeite.
No one else movied.
"I'm dreaming."said Venus firmly. "It's all a bad dream."she repeated, and turned to everyone else. "You'll see, we'll wake up, and then we'll find ourselves in Crystal Tokyo, and then, we'll just tell each other and laugh about this dream."her voice was trembling.
"No, you're not dreaming."Beryl told them.
Even Mars felt like she'd swallowed an ice cube, upon hearing her voice.
"How is this possible?"Kunzite asked Pluto.
Pluto stared. Even though the Outers hadn't been awoken when the Guardians had faced Beryl, they knew all about her, as they remembered the Silver Millenium. Besides, it was also part of Saturn's lessons. Small Lady's as well.
"Well?"Kunzite insisted.
Pluto didn't know what to say.
"I just don't know how it is possible."she told him.
Kunzite stared.
"What should we do?"asked Jadeite.
"What do you want? Why have you done this to Neptune?"demanded Uranus.
"I didn't do anything to Neptune. She was the one who told me everything."Beryl answered. "Everything about Crystal Tokyo."
What she said made no sense to anyone.
"What are you talking about?"demanded Mars.
"And how are you here? You…"Zoicite tried to find the right words. "You…died."he finally said. "Sailor Moon defeated you, long ago. How are you still around, after so long? Here, in the asteroids?"
"Asteroids are such small, insignificant things, no one ever thinks about them. No one but me."said Beryl. "Everyone else only thinks of planets, satellites, and stars. Never of anything smaller!"
They stared, speechless.
"That's why you were hiding here, in the asteroids, then."said Kunzite, calmly.
"Yes."she nodded. "And no one did find us."
"But we did!"said Venus.
"That was just because you were looking for her."Beryl pointed at Neptune. "Otherwise, you never would have, would you?"
Kunzite had to admit that she was right. They never would have thought to look among the asteroids.
"You're right."he admitted to her. "But you still haven't told us how you came to be here."he told her.
