EPISODE 072: ULTRA SAILOR MARS IS MISSING!

It had been a couple of days since anyone had seen Rei Hino. For Rei

had purposely vanished without a trace. She wondered about a lot of

things that had been happening lately, like why they weren't able to

defeat a monster or the current status of Usagi. Rei felt helpless.

Nitara and the others knew that Rei had vanished on purpose. Nitara

resolved to find Rei and comfort her.

"Rei has been missing for awhile hasn't she?"

Nitara asked.

"Yes, I am sure Rei is upset about Usagi being unconscious. Rei is

very close to Usagi."

Ami explained.

"I see. So, Rei and yourself have been around a long time?"

Nitara asked.

"Yes, but Mamoru has been around Usagi longer than Rei or myself.

I was the first Senshi that Usagi befriended. Over time, she befriended

Rei, Makoto, Minako, and myself."

Ami explained.

"So, Usagi has attracted all of you to her? Very interesting. So, Usagi has

done as she was told to do. To learn of the humans and to learn of the emotions

that humans have, so this is how the nucleus determined what her instructions

were. Very interesting that she would choose each of you."

Crystal Sailor Comet explained.

"Very interesting indeed that 'My Maiden' could choose such people like

you to look over her."

Nitara commented on the thought of Usagi picking those out those who she

could be friends with.

"Usagi is indeed unique."

Sarah explained.

"Yes, I agree. Usako is one of a kind. She is known to stand out among

the others."

Mamoru stated about Usagi. Usagi wasn't human, yet she had the appearance

of one and a heart to love others even when other people couldn't see

what she saw.

"I will look for Rei."

Nitara told the others and Nitara ran out of the palace to look for Rei.

Rei sat by the river's edge and sat quietly looking at the water. She

thought of Usagi and how she meant to her. Usagi was struggling to hang

on of what she had left. Celestial Moone suddenly appeared to Rei. Rei

saw her and wondered why she came.

"Why did you come to me?"

Rei asked.

"Your thoughts are for someone close to you right?"

Celestial Moone asked.

"Yes, you are correct."

Rei replied as she returned her attention to the water.

"Someone you love dearly?"

Celestial Moone asked again.

"Yes is more than a friend, she is someone I have been sworn

to protect always, but now I cannot do anything but watch her

suffer and hold on what she has left."

Rei answered not knowing Celestial Moone's real identity.

"Isn't the smallest hope the best chance you have in your

friend to fully recover?"

Celestial Moone asked her.

"Smallest hope?"

Rei asked.

"There's always hope. If you never lose heart and believe that your

friend Usagi will recover, then she will. You must believe in her.

She depends on you. You still must show me what I want to see. And

if you do, I will show you something wonderful. I must go. Please

I ask of you to show me what I want to see. Farewell."

Celestial Moone told her and vanished. Not too long after Celestial

Moone had vanished Nitara finally found Rei.

"I knew you would be here."

Nitara told Rei. Rei stood up.

"Nitara, you were able to find me?"

Rei asked suddenly.

"A psychic can always find a psychic. Did you know that? I have the ability

to locate you if I need too. And more importantly, there's someone who is

holding on for dear life and she is defenseless."

Nitara told Rei.

"I have failed her."

Rei spoke in a dejected tone. This made Nitara angry.

"USAGI HAS ALWAYS TRUSTED IN YOU AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY HER?"

Nitara spoke in an angry voice. This was the first time that Rei

saw Nitara angry.

"I am sorry, I haven't been myself lately. I had felt so useless.

I couldn't be by her side and protect her. I want Usagi to return

to normal. Please forgive me, Nitara."

Rei answered Nitara and Nitara calmed back down and placed her hand

on Rei's shoulder and she spoke.

"My Maiden needs the help of her friends most of all now, she is

unable to do anything at the moment and her secret mission to

collect the power crystals is on hold until she can fully recover.

If her friends truly love her for what she is, then her recovery

will be sure. You want her to recover right?"

Nitara asked.

"Yes, I want to be around her and be able to talk to her again. Do

you think Usagi will awaken soon?"

Rei explained and asked about how soon would Usagi awaken again.

"Rei, please understand that the Crystal Zapper can put the

lifeforce energy back into Usagi, but it is going very slowly.

I think if the energy gets back to a certain level, Usagi

will awaken again. If Usagi's friends truly love and protect

her, yes I believe Usagi will awaken again. But she may not be able

speak audibly to us, but I can read what she says."

Nitara revealed.

"Can we go back now? I want to see her."

Rei asked.

"I was hoping you would say that. Shall we go?"

Nitara asked her and Nitara used her staff and teleported

back to the palace and they walked back into the white

room.

"Let's let Rei alone with Usagi for a moment."

Nitara suggested. Everyone including Sarah left the white room

and also Princess Clearina vanished from the white room leaving

Rei alone with Usagi. Usagi was unconscious. She saw that Tsuki

was unconscious too. She remembered that Tsuki had a link to Usagi.

Luna and Artemis also was on the bed sleeping peacefully as guarding

Usagi in some manner. Rei turned towards Usagi and held her hand.

Rei didn't care that what Usagi actually was. Usagi was her friend

and Usagi was everything to her.

"Usagi, please forgive me not believing in you. You are a strong

girl, I know it. I am just glad that you are my friend. I'll

do everything possible to protect you even I have to die to

keep you safe. That is what I'll do!"

Rei resolved in protecting Usagi no matter what the cost. Nearby,

Celestial Moone smiled and spoke.

"Rei is the first of the four warriors that has realized that

what is important to her, protecting someone who indeed is

very unique and special. Makoto, Ami, and Minako have yet

to realize what is the most important. If they show me what

I truly desire, then I will reveal my true identity to them!"

Celestial Moone spoke to herself. The others had to discover

the most important to them. If Warlord Branax discovered Usagi's

true identity, it would spell disaster to them all.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Next on Crystal Princess Ultra Part 2, Warlord Branax attacks Tokyo

and the Ultra Crystal Sailors try to dtop him. And Makoto stays

behind to watch over Usagi. Can they keep Usagi safe? Find out

next time.
