To everyone. It all started with a bad dream. You felt an restless sense of urgency, as if something terrible were about to happen. You looked around but didn't recognize the location you were standing in. It was a simply stunning place- kind of like a utopia. The buildings were made from white stone, and you remember it being very clean and pleasant. But despite the prettiness around you, you knew that something was going to happen. The main temple lit up with light. A white beam shot out of it and went up into the sky. It rose all the way to outer space, where it absorbed the power of the outer planets. After that the world was destroyed in Chaos energy. It wasn't a great feeling. You heard someone speaking to you and you couldn't make it out. It was a pleading voice, and asking you to do something. You don't remember too much after that- it was a dream after all. Next thing you know, you are hiking through the jungle with chibi-Luna. Luna had gotten everyone together and, after confirming that all the Sailor Senshi had the same dream, dispatched the team on an adventure.... "Chibi-Arty and I recognize the temple," squeaked Luna. "It's part of an ancient civilization that explorers discovered in the Carpathian mountains." "Normally I wouldn't send the Sailor Senshi just to investigate a dream.... But the planetary alignment of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto is going to occur within the next few days, so it's only logical that we be there just in case something happens." Now you're here. You've been hiking for about an hour and a half. Luckily, the jungle isn't that hot and it's not wet either, like most jungles. It has a sense of pleasantness and you wonder if it has anything to do with the aura of the ancient civilization you're approaching. Green is everywhere. The air is clear and every once in a while you spy a brightly-colored flower growing on a tree branch. How nice! Kitty-Luna falls asleep on Hotaru's head. "Wake me up when we get there," she meows just before dozing off.

Zoltan is still where we left him last time, but flying high above Chibi-Luna and the group of senshi that came with her. "For pete's sake, why am I doing this? I can explain dreams!! Well, not up here...And not in this form." A few other people were in the air, flying with him. He swooped down, and then got sent flying even further up! *At least I'm away from them.* Zoltan withdraws his Golden Sword and points it at the ground. He stops going upwards, but now he can't get back down, to where he was. "THIS STINKS!!! I CAN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING!!! AM I DEAD!!?? No, I can't be, rule out that opinion."

Kiki yawned hiking behind ChibiLuna on Hotarus head. "Its really nice out here" she breathed in. "If we werent investigating senshi stuff this would make a fun vaca!" she flipped her long braid over her shoulder and scratched one of her long tanned legs. "I dont understand what that stupid dream was all about..."she mumbled looking behind her and above her. *You up there Zolt?* she wondered knowing if he came he would be. She shrugged and kept treking.

"I'm tired," Allie complained. "Why does it have to be such a long hike?" She yawns and leans against a tree, watching everyone pass by.

Mina runs up the trail panting. She collapses when she reaches them. "Artie...last.....up....no....breath......hurry....he...said......" Mina stops realizing that she is not making any sense. Mina stands up. She goes over to a tree and sits there. She takes out a chocolate bar out of her bag. She sips her Gatorade and gets up slowly. "Anyway. Artie woke me up this morning. He says that I sleep too late. Anyway, so he gets me up, and asks me about the dream. I had it, so he told me where to go. Well, I was on time, until I say the cutest guy! So, I ran into his shop, and since I had some money to spend, I bought a watch, gatorade, chocolate, apples, and of course some tic-tacs! He sounded so wonderful, when he told me the total. I had walked out of the store, when I looked at the receipt. The dork short-changed me $15.00! I ran back in there, and no matter how maany times I showed it to him, he wouldn't believe me, so I had to call the manager. You guys aren't believing this are you? Well, that's good. I made it up. I did see Andrew in the arcade looking so cute, so I ran in there and spent all of my money. Now, there's the truth. Scouts Honor." Mina gets up, forgetting that her bag is still on the ground. She walks forward and falls flat on her face. "Ewww...."

"That's a nice long story you got there," Allie said laughing. She watched as Mina fell to the ground. "Nice one." She sighs and jumps off the tree to start walking again.

Tori smiled and ran past Allie. "I think the hike will do us some good! Nice exercise! I love hiking." She said in a sing-song voice. "Plus. Jungles are just plain cool!" Tori jogged up and past Hotaru-chan and Luna. She stopped for a moment to tighten the bandana on her forehead. She smiled at a pretty flower, sniffed it, then took hold of her backpack and continued jogging.

Hotaru hiked up, trying not to make kitty-luna wake up, exclaiming "This is so pretty! In enchanting gazing at our surroundings" She came up to Tori, "Tori-chan you seem to like the outdoors" She giggles.

"Yup! Sure do." Tori slowed down to a steady pace beside Hotaru. "I lived in a forest for a while while I was growing up. It was nice back then. Just me and Yume-chan.."

"I love hiking! And camping!" Kiki walked next to Tori. "I'm just yor everyday outdoors girl" she laughed straightening out her black and white flannel shirt. "Its so nice! Hey thats cool you lived in a forest Tori-chan!" she said excitedly. She was in a good mood today. "Lalalaalal" she hummed.

Kyo walks behind the trees and sneaks up on Kiki. "BOOO!" He picks her up from behind and smiles at her lovely face.

Setsuna kept walking by herself thinking hmmmm I wonder who the new enemy is this time?We have defeated so many I am sure we will be ready for these dorks too!Then suddenly she shouted "We are the Sailor Scouts and NOTHING can defeat us!""Oops did I just say that out loud?!"Feeling embarassed she takes out a bag of candy and offers it to everyone."Does anyone want any candy??hehe" ^^'

"No thanks Setsuna..." Kiki said to her with a laugh then gets snuck up on and picked up by Kyo. "KYO!" she laughed even more. "Dont scare me like that again!" she tried to sound angry but it didnt work. Hey sea green eyes sparkled as she looked at him. She tried to make a mad face but broke out in a grin. "Why is it that I can never be mad at you?" she asked placing her arms on his shoulders.

"Ok Kiki." Setsuna repiled."How about you little Hotaru-chan?" Her long green hair swayed back and forth as she walked,her little bun was perfect on her head like it always is.

"I wish I lived in a forest!" Allie said absentmindedly. "That would be so wonderful!" She sighs caught up in one of her daydreams, zoning out from everyone else.

Hotaru laughed softly at Setsuna's jesture, "Okay Setsuna-cha, thank you!" She takes a few pieces of candy and puts one on her head, "this way when kitty-luna wakes up if she won't be cranky!" Hotaru gazed around still allured by the jungle scene.

"Yeah chibi-Luna can be cranky at times but she is so sweet and kind to all of us,Setsuna stopped to flip her hair out of her face,"we should be lucky she is with us." "Hmmmm....I wonder if we are getting close?"

"Exactly where are we going?" Allie wondered. "I know where, but where is it?"

Hotaru stops, "It feels weird here for some reason.. I just realized that.." She muttered to herself. "Maybe we should take a rest here we have been walking for quite a while..." She turns to the group with a dazzling smile on her face.

"That's a good idea Hotaru,"Setsuna repiled. She walks over to her. "What is the matter do you sense something?" "I have been feeling something too,"She flipped her hair out of her face,"Please tell me about it."

The path ends abruptly as you approach a high wall of rocks. You are at the bottom of a small cliff face. The terrain gets mountainous all of a sudden, and stretches about thirty feet high before it becomes level again. Chibi-Luna stirs. She shakes off the remnants of sleep. "Oh, Artemis and I forgot about this," she mentions still sleepily. "The ancient city, Carpathia, is built on like a pedestal above the surrounding area... So all we have to do is get to the top. The good news is, we're at the edge of the city^.^ (meow). How did you guys want to get up there?..." The rock-wall is climb-able. You think. The path ends here, and you don't know if there are any other paths, since dense vegetation is everywhere. There is waterfall nearby- it's gushing from the top of the "pedestal" into a little stream beside you. The waterfall creates a fog effect in the surrounding area. Luna feels something next to her and sees something in a shiny pink wrapper. "Oo, candy!!" she eats it, grinning.

"How does everyone want to get up there?"Setsuna asked. "I don't mind climbing," she said while tighting her bun, "how about you?"

Hotaru smirks as Luna eats the candy, "like it Luna it's from Setsuna" Back on real matter she looks at the wall of rocks, "I'll climb it.. it seems enjoyable"

"Then we will climb it together!"Setsuna says with excitment. "Is everyone with us?!"

"Finally!" Allie exclaimed energetic. "This is what I was born to do!" She flips the backpack on her back to the front and opens the pouch. She takes out small stakes, that if smashed into the wall could be used as a guide up. She also takes out a rope. "Does anyone want to set these down for everyoneř No!? Good then I can!" She smashes the first one in then another. She continues up following a path.

Zoltan blinks. "Climbing? Why can't they just teleport to the other side?...Not every senshi is like you anymore, remember that." He sighs, and looks down. "I wonder how Nen's doing? That dumbbell better not be messing up some more things. And Elios? I don't have good contact with him while I'm up here, since he's still stuck to the mortal world..." Zoltan shakes his head. "No better way to adjust then forgetting!" Zoltan has already forgotten most old friends, esecially the ones that were the most recent. He was really close to Elios and someone else named Nenhenyi. He and Nenhenyi had a pretty suspicious relationship in the past...Well, at least that's what some thought. He shakes a pop can, opens it, and then gulps it down all at once. "I wonder who that girl was, that was looking up? Hmm...Better get my computer!" Zoltan grabs his Golden Sword and causes a slit in the sky, like a portal. He pulls his computer out of it, and then withdraws his hand. "Owww...Too bad I can't swear here, otherwise someone would be hearing me scream!"

Hotaru sweatdrops at Allie, "I thought we were gonna climb this raw but this seems easier.." She grabs onto a stake and begins following Allie, "Come on guys let's go!"

"I have always dreamed of climbing something like this!"Setsuna stops to grab onto a stake to follow Hotaru,"Now my dreams are coming true!"

"Wow,this place is so beautiful,"Setsuna said while climbing behind Hotaru,"I bet the veiw from up there is breath taking!"

"Living alone in a forest isnt as much fun as you would think.." Tori said in almost a whisper. Silently she looked the huge rock wall up and down. She looked over at Allie and her stakes. "I dont need those.." Tori took a few steps away from the wall - secured her backpack on her, then ran and jumped onto it. Placing her fingers and feet into the tiny cracks and slowly making her way up the stone wall. She smiled at Setsuna, her short dark blonde hair blowing slightly in a breeze along with her black bandana. "I'm glad you're finally getting to live a dream Puu-chan."

"Ouuu climbing!" Kiki hopped off Kyo. "I love it! Dont you Kyo?" she asked him excitedly. "Lets do it!" she tossed her braid over her shoulder and went right after Tori. "You coming?" she looked up at the sky again for no reason, then back at what she was doing.

"That looks way more fun Tori," Allie said entergetic. She continues climbing, until finally she jumps to the top. She looks around to examine her surroundings.

Hotaru jumps off from where she as suddenly and picks up the pink candy wrapper which fell off her head, "it's not good to litter" She joked. She makes sure kitty-luna is secure on her head and starts climbing right next to Setsuna instead of below her, "Setsuna-chan I'm so happy one of your dreams have come true" Hotaru pulls herself over the last stones and gets to the top, "Allie.."

Setsuna pulls herself up to the top. "Wow it is beautiful,isnt it Tori-chan?!"

"Yea Allie, it's alluring" Hotaru pokes luna trying to get her to see *poke poke* *poke poke* "Luna is this Carpathia?"

Kyo pulls out his bow and arrow. *This should be fun...* He ties the strongest rope to one end o the arrow and lets his arrow fly. Kyo smirks. "I'll beat you Kiks..." He says as he climbs. He makes it to the top and looks back down on Kiki. "See.."

Allie walks back to the edge, a couple feet from Kyo, watching the others climb up. "Too bad I took the easy way up," she says cheerfully. "You must be having more fun than I did." She smiles warmly and turns to gaze at the city in front of her. "Can't wait to see it up close!"

To the ones on the top: Your destination lies up ahead, through some trees. You feel a presence nearby, watching you. As Kiki makes her way to the top and passes a tree branch, a vine next to her rustles. Suddenly, the vine comes alive and it wraps around her ankle three times. It violently tries to pull her down. You hear a creaking noise... Several more of the plant-vines around her turn evil (apparently) and try to bring her down...

Allie turns around to see how close they are when she sees Kiki attacked. "Kiki!" she says, so everyone can hear her. "Hold on!"

"Oh my gosh!"Setsuna yelled."We have to save Kiki!" She runs over to Allie "Thank God you turned around when you did!Now lets go help Kiki!"

Mina runs up the rest of the ways. She apparently fell asleep in the mud. She stops and gasps when she sees Kiki. "Hey! What's going on?" She runs up near Kiki. She sees the vines wrapping around Kiki's ankle. "Mean old vines!!!" Mina rummages around in her backpack looking for her transformation pen. She is very un-aware, that she could get hurt. ^-^

Allie turns into Ka Lo and jumps to the bottom next to Mina. 'That really hurt my feet,' she thought, trying not to show it on her face. 'Now if she falls, I'm down here.' "Be careful!" Ka Lo yells. "If someone attacks you might hit her. Kiki! Try and get loose!"

"Vines? Patheic." Zoltan sighs. "They're surrounding this girl named Kiki. Wonderful. Do I care? No." He had lost all good feelings towards Kiki a long time ago. Zoltan just sighs and lays down, on a cloud. "I'm just going to sleep..." He attempts to doze off.

Setsuna transforms into Sailor Pluto and jumps next to Ka Lo. "Ka Lo do you think that one of us could get down there with her and try and help her get loose??"Setsuna asked

"Worth a try," Ka Lo decides. "Go for it."

"Ok!"Setsuna says.She takes a deep breath,then she climbs next to Kiki. "Ok Kiki I am going to try and get you loose,just remember that you are going to be alright cause' Setsuna is here!" She now tries to get her loose.

"Be careful, they might try and get you too," Ka Lo explains. "Watch what ya do."

"Thanks for the advice Ka Lo but please watch my back!"Sailor Pluto replies.

Kyo runs quickly over to Kiki. "Keep calm baby. Im right here." He says reassuringly. "Need any help?" He asks not wanting to disrupt their plans.

"We can always use more help!" Ka Lo shouted to Kyo. "Hurry and get her out, and make sure you don't get wrapped up as well, will ya?!" "Geeze," she mumbles to herself. "He's so arrogant." "Hey wait a minute! I have a sword!" She takes it out and examines it. "I wonder if I could cut it off. I'll wait until they actually need it."

"Yeah I could use your help!"Sailor Pluto tells Kyo,"We need to get her out!"

"it still feels really weird here" Hotaru mumbles as she sees the vines getting kiki she thinks she's delusionary. "SATURN PLANET EVOLUTION!" Hotaru yells transforming into Sailor Saturn. She quickly puts chibi-luna on the ground. Saturn takes a breath and jumps toward the vines holding Kiki, trying to get a hold of them, apparently thinking too fast. *upps..stupid.stupid..stupid* She thinks to herself.

"Be sure Kiki does some of it alone you two," Ka Lo ordered. "She doesn't need that much help."

"OK Ka Lo,"Sailor Pluto said,"I ain't giving her that much help cause it's hard to keep my balance in these heels!"

Sailor Pluto keeps on helping "Does it feel any looser Kiki?"she asks she thinks to herself *I sure hope it does because my I feel like I am going to fall stupid boots why does there have to be heels on these boots?*

Kiki looked at them not paniced. She knew it wouldnt help the situation even though she was scared out of her mind. "A little bit... I cant really tell" she told Setsuna in her best brave voice. She looked at Kyo and laughed a bit. "I am calm, you guys are the ones that are paniced and your not even hanging from here!" she clung on as best she could. *Good thing I'm an athelete here* she thought. "Why did these stupid things attack me anyway?" she wondered aloud trying to wiggle her leg out slowly. She made a face at the vine and nudged her head to get her hair out of her face.

"Ok well we'll keep trying,OK?"Pluto said with a smile.

The evil plants seem to lose strength as soon as Sailor Pluto touches them. They withdraw from Kiki and return to their regular state so fast, that Sailor Pluto and Kiki almost fall back from the inertia. The creaking noise stops and you're left with a surreal feeling. Chibi-Luna, who is the only one left at the top (I think) shouts at everyone in a nervous voice. "You guys, hurry up and get up here... It might start acting up again!".

"KI-CHAN!" Tori screamed. Extremly worried but got calmed down a bit when the others went to her. "Help her you guys!" She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she(Kiki) was free. "Lets get up to Luna now.." She climbed over to Kiki and started going up the wall next to her. She wasnt gonna take any chances of lettting anything else happen to her. Reaching the top Tori pulled herself up and over the edge and got to her feet. She turned around to help any of the others up.

Chibi-Luna ventures ahead into the city. It is not recognizable as a city, at first. It probably looked like the Silver Millenium at one point, like a jillion years ago. But since then, several of the shining white buildings have crumbled up or broke down completely. Even though the basic layout of the city is still recognizable, the buildings have been reduced to outcroppings of stone and some pillars. The area is also littered with construction equipment, making it look like even more of a mess. Tractors, cranes- stuff like that.... There are heaps of brown dirt where they were digging holes. "What a major letdown," Chibi-Luna sighs. "I really thought it would look like the Silver Millenium... after all, Carpathia was here on Earth during the Moon Kingdom's reign... I'm sure you know that, Sailor Pluto," Luna grins. "Anyway, let's go ahead and get to the bottom of this," says Luna resolutely. "Maybe we'll discover what those dreams meant....?" Chibi-Luna stands in what was once a majestic courtyard. There is a dry fountain here, and a tall, female statue that has been worn down over the centuries. The floor is tiled with wide white stones. The buildings nearby were probably living quarters. Farther off, there is a ton of construction equipment, and a giant crater that the machines made. Beyond that, there are the ruins of temples and other important buildings. Chibi-Luna sits and waits for the others.

Saturn gets up from the ground using her glaive and climbs up, "Chibi-luna! You should wait for us" She stops when she sees the condition of the city, but goes on towards Chibi-Luna, "It looks...it looks dilapidated and desolate, I knew it would be deserted but I didn't think it would look this barren.." She picks up Chibi-Luna and pets her head, "Luna, do you think those ruins might have something to do with our dreams?" Saturn sits on the edge of the dry fountain, putting Luna on her lap.

Sailor Pluto follows Sailor Saturn and Chibi-Luna she detransforms back to Setsuna and her hiking boots,and comphy clothes. "Woah what a relief. never climb with high heeled boots!"She said kind of to herself, "Now where should we investigate first?"

Zoltan sighs, and bops himself on the head with the Golden Sword. "Go to sleep, me." He punches himself in the head, trying to make himself go to sleep...More like knock himself out. "This stinks." Zoltan mutters, imagining somethings. He imagined Illusion, and wondered how the Illsuionists were going. Zoltan also ended up picturing a space-city type place, Auta-supe-su Toshi. "This isn't helping!" He rolls over, sighing. "This is just making me more awake."

Mina walks over to Chibi-Luna. "What now Luna?"

Kyo pulls Kiki out of the vines area so fast it could make someones head swim... Kyo holds her in his arms. "Im never lettin you out of my sight for even a few seconds ever again. I promise." With that said he kisses her head.

Kiki laughed and hugged him lightly. "Well for certain times I hope you arent watching me" she teased and let go, walking ahead and pulling his hand. She looked at Ka Lo. "Your right Ka Lo.... I kinda feel something too" she closed her eyes and breathed in, taking in all around her. "Its strange but... a bit cool as well" she smiled opening her eyes.

Ka Lo jumps up to the top, in one leap. (Hey, she is transformed) She looks at Kiki and Kyo and just sighs. "It wasn't event tat bad," she mutters to herself and stares at the city. 'I'm not going to changing back,' she decides and stands next to Saturn. "It's a shame they have taken so much beauty from it. I bet before all this stuff was here it was gorgeous! A mystical fairytale city!" She looks at it with dreamy eyes. "It sort of reminds me of my old home. Not the one but the...other one..." She laughs nervously and takes a few steps ahead into the city grounds. "I'm going to take a look around. Who's with me?"

"I'm in!"Setsuna says with excitment "I think that it will be fun even if it is Sailor bussiness!"

"Okay," Ka Lo agreed. "I hope no one, like, kicks us out or something." She smiles thinking of them trying. Quickly she sees herself and a man ordering her too. Then, she sees herself bring out her sword and kick them out, while they beg for merci. "Oh please, honorable Ka Lo. Please spare me!" She laughs loudly, almost falling down. "That would be so cool," she decides out loud, still laughing.

"I'm in I guess, there must be something left of this once gorgeous landscape" Saturn still sits on the fountain's edge. "Ka Lo you are just crazy.."

"So where should we look first?"Setsuna asks"Do you guys think I should transform again so I am prepared if any baddies come after us?"

Ka Lo blinked into reality and looked at her. "It doesn't matter. If someone does come, we can stall enough time to get you ready." She walks further in and places her hand on one of the ruined pillars. "It feels smooth and full of energy. Like..." She pauses and laughs again. "Like happiness and dreams. Like whoever was from here had known no one could ever successfully ruin them. Their dreams ya know?" She took her hand off continuing further.

"So where are we off to now Ka Lo?"Setsuna asked "I bet this place was so beautiful when it was still up and going ya know people living in it and stuff."




To Saturn and Mina: Luna purrs when Saturn pets her. "I think these ruins definitely have something to do with our dreams," Luna responds. "And I really want to find out cause it's bugging me." Luna hears Mina ask her what to do. "I don't know," She says, intimidated. Luna curls up and turns into a little fuzzball. To Ka Lo and Setsuna: You went off ahead a little bit. You enter the city square, which is like a large courtyard with the important buildings on the perimeter. Around now you begin to notice a few things... There are shadows on the upright pieces of brick wall that remained. Shadows of people. The people are doing regular things- and they have a crystal-clear outline as though someone had taken a snapshot of them just before they left. The shadows were faint at first, but they become more distinct as you venture into the city. Straight ahead of you, across the square, you can see the giant temple from where you sense "that feeling" the strongest. There are pillars surrounding it and large stones steps up. It has no roof. There was probably a gate around it at one point but that's gone now.

Tori scowled at Kiki and Kyo. She walked further into the distoried city and away from every one. Tori placed a hand on a large stone pillar and sighed. "This place reminds me so much of the Silver Millenium and my palace back..back.." Tori looked down. Unable to finish what she was saying.

Kyo held onto Kiki's hand. *Jealous?...* He sighed. He gazed at the beautiful ruins in front of him. *WOW. Its different.* He ventured on behind Ka Lo and Setsuna.

Setsuna looked around noticing that the shadows are becoming more distinct. "Do you see those shadows too Ka Lo?"Setsuna asks."I think we should look at that temple there."She points at the giant one without a roof,"It has a well you know a feeling about it."

Ka Lo blinks confused a second looking around. "What the..." She paused staring at the building. "I feel it here," she says, to answer Setsuna's question. "Hey Kiki, Kyo!" she calls. "Venture up here and check out this place." She continues towards it, nervous because of all the moving figures. She takes a deep breath, about to enter the building.

Setsuna follows Ka Lo into the building "Wow its getting stronger I can feel it even more now."Setsuna said trying to fix her bun while talking and walking.

To Sailor Pluto: You entered the temple. Inside of it, there is a large, marble rotunda. Sadly, like everything else around it's broken-up. There is very little inside this temple besides some lamps and furniture. On the far wall, you see ancient writing... It's from a language that must be several thousands of years old. It's carved into the wall and it takes up the entire wall. You're reminded of your dream and the voice that was speaking to you....

Saturn get's up, still holding Luna and follows the path where Setsuna and Ka Lo went, "Come on Luna let's see what they went!" She runs off towards them, entering the city square, "Luna you there? this is really weird.." She seems a little puzzled at the appearance of the square while walking through it.

Kiki glanced at Kyo smiling then turned her head. "Ok!" she called to Ka Lo and started to head up near her and Setsuna. "Come on" she winked at Kyo and kissed his lips lightly before they reached the others. 'I love you' she mouthed to him then stood next to Ka Lo. "This place is amazing..." she whispered.

"Nice of you to come," Ka Lo said to Saturn as she came in. "We were just going to find where that energy is coming from." She steps away from Kiki and next to Setsuna, studying the wall. "What language is that?" she asks, thinking she would know the answer.

Tori wandered further away from every one. She looked around at her surrondings. "Its so deserted here.." She sighed and kept walking.

Ka Lo stares at the writing one last second, then starts to walk off somewhere. She is right outside of the square, looking at the sun. She breathed in the sweet air. 'Better not go too far...' she tells herself. 'I need time alone in this place though.' She scrambles down a little hill to examine the city form another view. "It is even better with the sun behind it!" she said spirited.

Zoltan finally gives up on going to sleep. "Alright stupid cloud, do me a favor." He sets the Golden Sword and his laptop down, and then starts hitting the cloud. "MOVE! Downwards!!!" Of course, this wasn't working. "Ergh...Why am I here anyhow?" He says, before looking up. Zoltan sticks his tongue out at something, something that seemed rather small from where he was. "Nah."

"Hmmmm..."Setsuna said,"I've seen this language somewhere I think."she continued trying to answer Ka Lo's question

To Sailor Pluto: You're familiar with the language you see on the writing on the wall. It was one of the Earth languages from the time of the Silver Millenium. You decipher the first few words- "We, the last inhabitants of Carpathia assert this warning to all who may pass through here- Within this city's bounds lies a power that is strange and horrible- (the writing is illegible here)- It is the duty and fate of our noble king and queen to protect that power for all eternity- Know ye who come here out of greed- The power you seek comes at a dire price- It is a destructive power which-" There's more, but that's as far as you reach before you are interrupted by something. To the rest of you: You are loitering around outside. All of a sudden you hear a rumbling noise, and the earth seems to shake. It sounds like a motor. You look over and see a large dust-cloud. Something heavy is coming. Seconds later you discern that it's the construction equipment, and its gained a life of its own. Giant, yellow bulldozers and other forms of excavating equipment crash their way into the city square. The noise is nerve-grinding-- it sounds like a fleet of Harley Davidsons just pulled up. There are several of them, and more are coming. To Tori: One of them took you by surprise (despite their loudness, they are very fast). You get caught in the front bucket of one of the bulldozers. You get pushed along and then it rams you into the wall... You are now pinned between a wall and a bulldozer that's still revving, and trying to smash you more. To Sailor Pluto: I mentioned the room you're in has no roof, correct? You look up when a dark shadow covers the light. You see the large jaws of a crane above you. No sooner have you spied it, than it begins falling towards you. The hinged jaws are descending to bite you. To Mina and Sailor Saturn: The sound is nearly deafening. The trucks are driving in circles around you. You are looking around trying to figure out which one is going to attack you. Suddenly, one of the small cranes ends up behind you, and it strikes a nearby stone pillar. The top of the pillar explodes, and you have seconds to react before you are pummeled by the falling bricks from the explosion. To Kyo and Kiki: You are attacked by a third crane- one of the big ones this time. It attempts a long range attack... Unlike the crane that attacked Sailor Pluto, this one has just a hook on the end of a long cord. Without even coming close to you, it whips the cord around by swinging its long neck. A man-sized hook is flying towards you from your right....

"Wow.."Setsuna stops when she hears somthing. she looks up something is covering the light then the crane begins falling torwards her trying to bite her.She does the first thing any scout would do transform. "Pluto Planet Power Make-Up!" She tries an attack "I hope this works it has always protected us from enemy attacks maybe it will protect us from cranes in boldozers!" "Garnet Ball!"

Saturn covers her ear from the unnerving sound as she turns behind her and sees the crane strike the pillar, causing the bricks to rain down on her and Mina, "Mina transform, quick!" "Ecstasy" A mellow toned voice whispers, and Saturn starts being engulfed by Midnight blue ribbons and 'lightning', and shoot out at the bricks, *I hope this works*

Sailor Pluto holds strong trying to keep everyone safe with her Garnet Ball she prays to herself *Please work,Please work just help it work while everyone transforms please!*

Mina nods. She grabs the ransformation pen out of her bag. She throws the bag down. "VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!!!!!!" She turns into Sailor Venus. "NOW WHAT?!?!?! IF WE DON'T GET OUT OF HERE, WE'RE GOING TO BE PANCAKES!!!!! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!!!!!" Venus obviously can't get ahold of herself. "I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!!!! IT'S SO UNFAIR!!!!!!"

Ka Lo wasn't attacked but can see the cranes and stuff around the square. "What's going on?" she asks rather calm. She walks over and sees it attacking everyone. "What the hell?!" She takes a few steps back trying to decide what to do. "Uh... Dash Break!" She aims it towards the crane coming towards Kyo and Kiki since it is closest. While the seconds past, she also does a quick reading to see what is possessing the machinery. "Now, what is your story?" she asks it silently.

Kyo reacts slowly. *Great jus let it catch u off guard Kyo..Gosh!* "Metal Archer! Knight Power!" He yells and transforms into his alter ego, Archer Knight. His red cape blows behind him. AK brings out his bow and arrow. "Transform Kiks!" He bellows at her as he powers up. "SOUL SHATTER!!!" He sends a glowing white arrow right at the cranes middle. AK pulls out another arrow just in case.

Sailor Pluto finally tries to attack. "Dead Scream!"

About this time, Haruka Tenou wakes up in her apartment. 'Ugggh. What time is it?' She finally notices her alarm clock beeping. 'Oh my GOD! I should have been at track hours ago! Stupid dream.' She rolls out of bed, and somehow manages to get dressed in under 5 seconds. Then she notices her communicator flashing. 'Oh, great. Trouble.' After she receives Luna's message, she seems to actually wake up for the first time. 'So that's what happened!' She quickly dials Michiru's number on her phone. 'Michiru, cancel everything for me today, okay? I gotta go...I don't know, make something up...Okay...See ya.' She walks over and opens the window. 'Uranus Crystal Power, MAKE UP!' She (somehow) manages to cover the distance to Carpathia in about 2.445 seconds. She sees the trouble everyone is in. 'World SHAKING!' She aims her attack at the crane attacking Pluto.

Sailor Pluto's garnet orb attack forms a protective shield over her. The oncoming set of metal jaws crashes into it, and then gets repelled by the shock. Electric power courses through its wire veins. Sailor Saturn whispers "Ecstasy" and midnight blue ribbons rush out to meet the falling bricks. There's a giant explosion in mid-air, which protects Saturn and Venus from the rocks but also pushes them back a couple feet. "Dash Break!!" Ka Lo's attack burns into the side of the crane threatening Kyo and Kiki. It's strong enough to shove the crane violently and send it's flying hook off course. "Soul Shatter!!" Metal Knight's arrow pierces the construction equipment and breaks it in half. The crane explodes and metal parts go everywhere. A second later the giant hook swings over the heads of MK and Kiki. To Sailor Ka Lo only: You attempt your reading of the situation. From the construction equipment you get... nothing. They are not emitting evil energy and it's just like if they are acting on their own. However, you do sense another enemy in the area. There is a tall crane sitting still at some distance from the battlefield-- you sense there is another enemy there. "Dead Scream!" "World Shaking!!" Pluto and Uranus' attacks plummet into the metal monster before it could even figure out what's happening. The sky turns gold, and then purple, and the crane is disintegrated before it could do anything else. Very good show! To Sailor Saturn and Sailor Venus: A rain of pebbles falls on your head from the explosion. But you find yourself still surrounded by the roaming bulldozers. All of a sudden they speed towards you trying to run you over. Not one of them, but two of them, coming from opposites sides. The two of you are facing opposite directions, and the bulldozers are coming from the directions you're facing.... To Metal Knight and Kiki: Okay, you thought you were safe from that one crane that you just destroyed. Apparently it defies the laws of physics and decides to take you down with it... Even though you completely destroyed its body, the neck of it, which is swivels in the air and falls in your direction. A mass of giant metal beams that is about 100 feet long and fifteen feet wide is about to fall on your head. (The crane's neck is wireframe, of course, and there's an eensy-weensy chance that you won't get hit by the beams but I wouldn't count on it.) To Sailor Uranus: You don't even have the time to say "hi" to Sailor Pluto before another crane (yes another one) appears behind you. Before you know it, it leans down and chomps on you. Its strength is incredible... After that it lifts you up about ten feet into the air and leaves you dangling up there. To Sailor Ka Lo: You hear a bulldozer rolling over the stones towards you. It couldn't take you by surprise since it's so far away. You have lots of time to react before it runs you over or whatever it's trying to do.

'Eeeeep! This is not good.' Says Uranus as she is lifted into the air. *Who are you kidding, this is way worse than not good. There are dozens of those things!* She whips out her sword and slices hard at where the crane's jaws meet the neck. *I hope this works...*

Zoltan finally gets the cloud to move, over Carpathia. "Whoa..." He mumbles. "I got it to move, but this is not where I exactly wanted it." Zoltan lays down on the cloud, and then looks down at the senshi. He puts his chin in his hands, and watches all of this. "HAHA! I don't have to be tortured!!!" Zoltan sweatdrops, when he sees SailorUranus arrive. "Wow...I'm so happy for them." He grumbles, sarcastically. "Next thing you know dumb STUPID ol' Tuxedo Mask and SailorMoon-baka will join the scene! And boom! They'll all blow up!! Blah, blah, blah!"

Saturn rubs her head as the pebbles drizzle down on her and Venus' heads. "Venus.." Her voice seems odd as she backs into Venus as the cranes began coming at them. She steps forward, "Silence...Astral!!" Saturn twirls her glaive in her fingers as dark purple energy forms and creates a perimeter around her and Venus instead of the cranes, trying to create a counter effect, "maybe this will work will we try to figure something out, what do you think Venus?"

Venus rubs her head after the pebbles hit it. "I have an idea. Maybe it will stop with Love chain!" Venus blinks. "Venus Love Chain Harness!"

"Ummf!" Tori was smashed against a wall. She kicked her legs. "Let..me..GO! You stupid, shitty peice of machinery!" She let out a small scream as the bull dozer pressed her hard against the wall. "PLUTO-CHAN!!"

"Tori-chan I'm coming!"Pluto yells forgeting about Uranus

'Hey!' Uranus growls. 'After all the times I've saved your life...I should have brought Michiru instead. SHE's a true friend, SHE wouldn't leave me hanging from a crane...Guess I have to do everything around here.' She slashes at the crane again.

"P..Puu-chan?" Tori placed her hands on the huge machine and pushed, trying to squize herself out from in between the rock wall and the bulldozer. Very lightly she heard Sailor Uranus say 'SHE wouldn't leave me hanging from a crane..". 'Crane??" She thought. "Whats happened to Ha-chan?!" Tori yelled worriedly.

'What HAPPENED to me is that I'm dangling from a crane 10 feet in the air and Setsuna abandoned me, that's what!' Uranus, despite her predicament, manages to shoot a Level 7-Highly Dangerous glare at Pluto. 'Never mind, I can manage.' She continues slashing at the crane.

"I'll come back for you Uranus its just Tori is my bestest friend!" She attacks the crane that grabbed Tori "Chronos Typhoon!"She yells trying to get Tori free. *I hope this works so I can go help Uranus.* *I'm sorry Haruka-chan!*Pluto thought to herself

Ka Lo turns around faced with the other, bulldozer was it? She attacks quickly, "Pain Ball Blast!" Before seeing if it was successful she runs towards the other bulldozer that is letting off the energy she was searching for. 'Would love to help the others,' she told herself. 'But I think this might be what it takes to stop all that machinery.' She goes over to the device and circles around it looking for someone. "Hey! Is anyone here? If there someone is here, you're in big trouble! Show yourself!" She stands ready for an immediate attack, now holding her sword at her side.

whoa whoa its just me Tux, do u know why all these machines are going crazy? well i might as well help out here goes nothing!! SMOKING BOMBER!!!....

AK runs over to Kiki and powers up. He pulls out more arrows and aims it at the beams. "STAR SIGNAL!!!!!!!!" He roars as his bright red surging arrows flies towards the beams. Then he picks up Kiki and throws her and himself (hopefully) out o the way of the beams.

Saturn nods to Venus, with a somehow ironic smirk on her face. "Silence...Glaive...SURPRISE!" She yells as pink ribbons emerge from her glaive, aiming for the cranes.

Venus nods back. "Okay. I'm too young to die. Please work!!!"

Zoltan yawns. "Blah blah blah, and they all live happily ever after! MAN! I don't know how Elios was able to stand these senshi, the foolish!" He looks at his Golden Sword, running his hand across it. Zoltan blinks, slightly sweatdropping at whatever he's doing. *Don't turn into another Cetus, Pegasus.* He thinks, removing his hand from the sword. Zoltan then looks back down at the senshi, laughing at them.

Uranus finally notices Zoltan up on his cloud. 'Could someone please tell me what whoever that is is doing sitting way up there?! And what is he doing here anyway? Never mind. I don't really care.' She resumes swiping at the crane. 'Stupid...machine...'

To Sailor URANUS: You hack at the thing that's holding you up. Your sword scrapes against the metal and you can feel the hot sparks land on your cheek. Finally you strike the joint where the jaws meet the neck. The machine jerks around a bit, and then it separates at the joint. You find yourself falling with the jaws still clasped around you. You land on the ground with a *clunk*. To Sailor SATURN: "Silence Astral" sets up a circular barrier around you and Venus. The oncoming bulldozers run into the barrier, and are unable to move past it. They try to break through it.... "Silence Glaive SURPRISE!" is next, unfortunately, your own barrier absorbs the powerful attack, you short-circuit a little, and you end up feeling somewhat dizzy. To Sailor VENUS: "Venus Love Chain Harness!" You shoot out a string of metal hearts at the bulldozer. Your accuracy is impeccable- the chain wraps three times around the giant thing and squeezes it tightly. Congratulations Venus, you've harnessed a bulldozer. Now what are you going to do with it? To AK and KIKI: Archer Knight flings his attack and then dives out of the way with Kiki. The arrows hit right on-target. The falling beam breaks up, however it's still coming down....... The machine crashes into the earth and you barely manage to escape. It creates a large depression in the ground where it landed, and a ton of dirt rises up into the air. The good news is that you and Kiki are safe, albeit covered with dirt. To PLUTO and TORI: Pluto yells "Chronos Typhoon!" A dark red light shoots out from the Garnet orb. It strikes the machine the machine threatening Tori and knocks it out of the way. Tori falls to the ground. To KA LO and TUXEDO MASK: Ka Lo's "Pain Ball Blast!" sets the bulldozer spinning on its rump. Shortly afterwards, it is blasted with "SMOKING BOMBER!" the pathetic bulldozer catches on fire and it falls onto its side. To KA LO: You run all the way around the tall crane looking for the enemy. He's not around the crane, but sitting on top of it, like sixty feet into the air..... Looking up, you see a young man decked out in civilian clothes. Shiny black clothes. He has wispy blue hair that is somehow long and short at the same time..... From his position in the air he can view the entire battlefield and he is concentrating very hard on something. When you arrive, he twitches suddenly as his concentration breaks. All of the machinery stops moving (including the bulldozers next to Saturn and Venus). He glances down at you. "Hey girl, so you've discovered me... do you like my work?" He says this very calmly and then begins concentrating again. He attacks Tuxedo Mask, who is standing right next to you! The bulldozer that you attacked earlier begins moving again and it is turned upright by a mysterious force. It accelerates quickly, driving towards Tuxedo Mask. To TUXEDO MASK!!!: A flaming bulldozer is coming in your direction, and it's about to run you over! To ZOLTAN: You sense that some storm clouds are gathering

Zoltan just sweatdrops. "It's going to rain, just watch." He notices that SailorUranus had caught sight of him, even though he would have looked like a little dot. "Uranus?" Zoltan mutters, kind of sarcastically. "So it's gonna' storm. So what?" He looks down at the storm clouds that are starting to gather, and yawns. Calmly, he runs his hand though his white hair. Zoltan puts a finger to the yellow jewel on his forehead, and then removes it. There is a little bit of fire on his finger. He puts it on the Golden Sword, and for some reason it doesn't burn. "Back up flame."

Tori feel and hit the ground with a "Thump". "Ugggh.." She rubbed her head, jumped up and kicked the bulldozer that had been holding her. "HAH! That'll teach YOU! Oh and thanks Puu-chan." Tori looked over at Tuxedo Mask and saw the huge bulldozer heading full speed at him. "Elda Planet Power.. Make-UP!!" Tori screamed and transformed."Outta the way!!" Elda dashed at Tuxedo Mask and tried to shove him out of the way of the oncoming dozer.

Saturn sighs as she her vison is a little blurred from the dizzyness, "I guess I failed to make the effects completly reversed" She looks around the barrier, not focusing on giving it anymore energy as it is strong enough with the Silence Glaive Surprise's power,moaning slightly because of the strike back from the attack. Saturn looks at Venus with the Love Chain securely around the crane.. "V‘nus!

"No problem Tori-chan."Pluto says. She sees her go to save Tuxedo Mask "Be careful!" she yells

Uranus pushes the jaws apart and climbs out. 'That was NOT in the plan, but oh well.' She sees Tuxedo Mask & Elda. 'She is such an IDIOT! I can't hit the bulldozer without hitting them too. Not that this would be an entirely bad thing, but I would have to face 9 pairs of big eyes. I'll pass.' She senses a change in the air. 'A storm is gathering. This fight is only a calm...The calm before the storm. It is coming.' She turns to the figure atop the crane, and waits, with deadly calm, for the storm to arrive.

Ka Lo looks to her side to see Tuxedo Mask. 'What is he doing here?!' she thought angry. "Nice one! Now you've gotten in the way! Pink Umbrella!" She aims her umbrella at the man's eyes. So far she can guess how he is controlling the machinery. 'That should break him away a second,' she thought happily, but still angry of who had shown up to "save the day"

AK wipes some dirt from off of his face. "Puhhhuhhuh" He gets most of the dirt out of his mouth. "Ughh thats narsty! Kiki, baby, are you alright?" He asks w/ concern as he uncovers himself of all the dirt.

Kiki nodded. "I'm fine" she said while spitting out all the dirt. "This is gross!" she announced running a hand across her face to get off the dirt. "Dont I look gorgeous?" she lauhed a lot. She kept laughing. "Your so muddy!" she giggled wiping some dirt from his cheek. "Your cute like that" she kissed his cheek and got more mud on it. "Oops" she started laughing again.

AK grins at Kiki. "You still look downright sexe to me." He says as he wipes somemore dirt of her face and her clothes.

Sailor Uranus stops watching the mysterious figure, since Ka Lo seems to have that situation under control. 'What does Tuxedo Kamen think he's doing, trying to get himself killed?! I really should just leave him to get himself out of a mess for once. But then Usagi-chan would kill me.' She sighs. 'The things I do for these people...' She continues maneuvreing to get a clear shot at the bull dozer. Finally, she leaps up on a broken column. 'Perfect. Space Sword BLASTER!'

Zoltan yawns, and looks at Tuxedo Mask and then at SailorUranus. "You make me sick." He grumbles. Zoltan clings onto his one finger, to stop himself from putting it up. He yawns again. "Storm storm! Hoorah Hoorah! I hope they get eletrocuted with lightning!!! All of them!! Maybe if one of my friends were in the croud, I wouldn't wish such a," rather sarcastic, "horrible fate!" Zoltan finally lets go of his one finger, and then clenches both of his hands into fists. "Man, I wish I could go down there and..." Well, after that, he started saying very dirty things, and horrible swear words.

heh, i hope you like the smell of roses more that burning metal,if u don't....too bad *rose flys at the oncoming bulldozer*....

As Tuxedo mask looks at Enda flying at him,he screams "NO NOT BEFORE I SEE IF I HIT IT!!!!"

Tuxedo pegs the machine with his signature rose. A second later Elda shoves him out of the way. Tux was still right in its path after all. A couple moments after running over the spot where Tux once was, the bulldozer slows down and deactivates. The young man snaps to attention when he hears Ka Lo shout her attack. He jumps out of the way of "Pink Umbrella", and it flies over his head. "Hey, watch where you fling that thing,- you can really hurt someone. Okay, okay I'll stop." He levitates in the air for a couple moments and then descends so everyone can see him better. He puts his hands up in a shrugging gesture. He maintains a cool attitude and a fearless smile.... "I'm Yui Takasuza, but you can just call me Yui. I bet you're really angry with me right now. But I wasn't really trying to kill you. You have to believe me." ...?

Zoltan grabs his laptop, and types some stuff on it. He was now able to listen to what was going on, because of his laptop. With a goofy, sly smirk Zoltan looks at the screen, at Yui. "That's what they always say. But, yet again..." He mumbles, blinking. Zoltan laughs. "He does have powers, obviously. Maybe he's a monster, or something that has changed to the good side." How sly his voice sounded! It was hard to understand why Zoltan was so sly... ...Maybe he had a plan in mind? *If I could only get down from here,* he thinks, *I could find Elios, or turn into a pegasus myself, and blast him from behind while he's distracted...But how will I get down?* *But first, I shopuld try and see what data this laptop has on him.* Zoltan decides, mumbling some stuff in another language to the laptop. It asked for a password, of course, and Zoltan was quickly typing things down.

Pluto quickly ran next to KaLo. "Why should we believe you!You almost crushed my best friends in the whole world!"

"What exactly were you doing?" Ka Lo asked, a little too kind. "Why are you here?"

Saturn dashes to Ka Lo's side after the barrier lost it's power. She stares at Yui, her eyes seemings like she was looking him over, "How can you not try to kill us by sending those bulldozers at us!..." She asked with a hint of rage in her voice.

*thinks to himself*Hmmmm,if hes not trying to kill us how come he sent those machines after us.......something fishy is going on here....

AK comes up to stand nearer to Ka Lo and SP. "And how are we supposed to believe you when you look like you purposely attacked us?" He asks.

Uranus hops down off the pillar and walks over to stand behind Yui. She speaks suddenly. 'If you weren't trying to kill us, then why were you making the construction equiptment attack us? That was officially...'she pauses 'the 57th worst experience of my life. So, who are you? What did you bring us here for?'

All though many of the good guys seem to be mad at him, Yui breathes a sigh of relief that you didn't outright kill him. He turns to Saturn, Ka Lo, and Uranus. "All right, hear me out.... I was testing you. It's true that I'm your enemy from the 30th century, and I was sent here to discover the nature of the deadly power housed somewhere in Carpathia. But I have no intention of killing you." "The first time was just to confirm whether you were Sailor Senshi or not, and this time, I was trying to judge how powerful you were. That way, when we finally do decide to kill each other for the power, I'll have an edge. Now I've seen just about all of your attacks, so it evens the odds a little-.... That's all it is, no hard feelings," he says as he flashes a super-sweet grin to Sailor Saturn. "I certainly wasn't trying to kill you, because if I did, I would have to figure out the mystery of Carpathia all by myself... and who wants to do that?"^_^ He pauses again before continuing. To Sailor Ka Lo: You sense something particularly strong about this guy. After a moment, you realize that he is wearing your necklace! A second later, you're convinced- there's no doubt about it- it's definitely your necklace that he's wearing around his neck.

Elda crossed her arms over her chest and narrowed her eyes at him. "Mr. Yui-person... I want to make it clear that I don't trust you ONE bit, but I'm going to go along with this for now.. Oh, and don't try any 'funny stuff' with any of my friends or else you're going to be in for it." She then gave him small little smile.

"Yeah I'm with you!"Pluto said to Sailor Elda. she whispers into her ear "We better keep an eye on this one."

Elda nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we sure better." She whispered back.

"We will stick together untill the end k?"she whispered back,"we better stop whispering cause people will start to want to know what we are talking about."

"Yeah." Elda nodded again. "I'm hungry. I wonder where I left my backpack.." She said outloud.

"Another password? Man, how top secret did I make this thing? Reminder to self: Make a unique password, and only one, for top secret information." Zoltan mumbles, and types down something else. He thought these passwords were starting to give him a headache! Finally, some information started to appear on the screen. "Just names?" He wonders as he puts his finger to the screen and moves it down the screen. The names went in alphabetical order, so it took a little while to get to Takasuza, Yui. "I hope this is not an evil version of Elios." Zoltan mumbles, as he taps his finger to the name. "So what does this thing have on him...Or is he just a mysterious unknown guy? I hope it's not another Elios..., all I need is the weaknesses...Just one!!! Please!!!" This looks patheic. He was literally begging the computer.

To Zoltan: The computer screen turns all blue and only has the words "Retrieving Info...." on it. This lasts for a full eighteen seconds. When the computer regains consciousness you are at the "Members" section of the Evil 30th-Century-Empire-webpage. Here you learn that he's a lieutenant... Not as powerful as the Crystal Senshi, who are considered gods... He doesn't get along well with people and he's used for less important assignments, while the Crystal Senshi are out doing other things. Unfortunately, you don't find any stats on his weaknesses (I mean, why would they put that on the webpage?) Before you could discern much more, the dormant electrons in the thundercloud are set into motion by your computer's magnetic field, they create a sharp stream of current towards it, your computer is hit with a gigantic lightning bolt, and it explodes into 1,763,860 pieces and what's left of that is burnt to shit

AK growls at the super sweet grin the guy gives Saturn. *If Daisuki saw that he'd already be up there kickin this arrogant thing's butt!!!* He thought viciously. "Mr. you havent seen half of our attacks. And I dont plan on using all of mine. But I understand your reasoning, i'd agree that you wouldnt be able to figure out the mystery of Carpathia anyway." AK tells him.

"Exactly,AK,"Pluto says,"You wouldn't want to destroy me cause well I can read the language, right?!"

"He's not that stupid Puu-chan. He probably won't harm you. But as for the rest of us," she looked up at Yui and glared at him."Well, probably wouldn't give a second thought before trying to hurt us." She turned back around. "Alright. I'm not sticking around here anymore." And then headed toward the place where Pluto discovered and read the writings. "I'm going to go check out that place. Try to see if there's any more messages."

Yui is happy that Elda and Archer Knight seem to be okay with him.

Saturn just stares at Yui, the super-sweet grin seemed odd and somehow unnerving to him, "I'm with Elda if you do anything you're gonna get it, and we won't hesitate" Her voice sounded serious and calm, and heer eyes like before still screened over him. "Ka Lo's necklace... It has to be.. it looks so similar." She gets a little closer to Ka Lo. *Ka Lo...does that dude's necklace look familiar to you...I can't put my finger on it but doesn't it look like yours?*

Uranus smiles coldly. 'If you think you know what we're capable of, you have no idea. But I think we should consider returning the favor...' She notices and recognizes the necklace. 'By the way, a guy like you shouldn't wear such a girly necklace. I'll just take it off your hands...' She tries to grab the necklace.

Uranus also whispers to Pluto, so softly nobody else can hear, 'When I say 'now' to you, grab the necklace. I don't really think I'll get it off this easy, but it'll look like I'm trying. Okay?'

"Ok,"Pluto whispers back, "I'm so sorry about before please don't be angry with me Haruka-chan,oh and if he trys any funny stuff or if he likes captures me or somthing you'll have my back right??!!"

Sailor Uranus whispers back to Pluto, 'Don't I always? And it's nothing. I was just teasing.'

"Ok I was so worried that you were mad at me and well I dont want to lose you as a friend."Pluto whispered,"So tell me when and I'll go for the necklace."

*Walks up to Pluto* *whispers* Hey wait a second... isn't that Saturn's necklace? Hmmmm well anyways,i have no idea what this guys up to?

Pluto whispers back to Tuxedo Mask "No it's Ka Lo's necklace."

'Since you seem not to have the necessary brains to discover the secrets of this place, why didn't your boss send someone who could get the answers without using us?' Uranus says sharply as she makes another grab for the necklace. 'I don't like being used. It makes me annoyed. You wouldn't enjoy me being annoyed.' She also whispers to Pluto,'I'm not mad at you. It'd take more than a little annoyance to ruin our friendship, you know that. Be ready for when I get a reaction. You'll know when.'

Pluto whispers to Uranus,"Ok,we are going to get this necklace back to Ka Lo."




"...Eh? Necklace?" he asks in response to Sailor Uranus. He wasn't even thinking about that. Yui watches Uranus make a grab twice for the necklace, and he moves out of the way both times. "Hells no! Get away!" He yells as he makes a gesture with his hand. Sailor Uranus is suddenly pushed down into the ground by a large, invisible force. Yui levitates in the air. He grabs on to the necklace. "Nice try... The gods gave this to me, and I don't even know what the hell it is, but they said it would bring me luck..... I guess if you guys really want it so bad, then I'd better hang onto it," he continues, arching one eyebrow. "It's hard enough to be nice to you guys, but I'm not going to hang around and suffer indignities like this just because there's one of me and like a billion of you--"

"Everyone calm down," Ka Lo whispers smoothly. "I can't risk the chance of it breaking. Besides, I bet he doesn't realize what he's got. Let's just wait a while." She takes one step forwards. "What kind of power is this anyway? How dangerous I mean, and what exactly can it do? We have to know before we agree to help you at all." Ka Lo tries to make her voice even, but she canât help but be jumpy. That necklace was life and death, and she would rather have the life.

As he's spouting off, he hears Ka Lo speak to him. He shuts up and tries to switch gears enough be nice and answer her questions. "I'm not exactly sure of the power's exact nature either, but I know that it's housed in some sort of machine. This machine could reshape or destroy the world, and that's why we want it. I strongly suspect that it was that power that made this kingdom into Earth's stronghold during the Silver Millenium, and then finally destroyed it... Oh yeah, and according to legend, the machine is powered by the forces of the Outer Planets, so it's power will reach its maximum at the planetary alignment." "And you don't have to help, I don't really care. But if you don't find it first, then I'll find it, or someone else from my kingdom will find it, and then we'll do with the world what we like.... Your choice." He shrugs. "Okay, so if you want to start, head into that large crater over there. It leads to the city's underground level, where the machine is, and where I went and got stuck..." He points to a large hole in the ground that isn't really a crater- it's an entrance to an underground tunnel. "By the way I'm not going to join your team, if that's what you were thinking," he adds with a nasty look at Sailor Uranus. He turns around to get going.

Sailor Uranus picks herself up off the ground and starts seriously considering whacking this weirdo's head off, just for the fun of it. *Jerk...Ah, well. If he knows something, I bet a little tact would get it right out of him. That's a working hypothesis.* She slips up next to Saturn and quietly starts speaking. 'Saturn, I have an idea. Yui-if that's his name-apparently knows what we're looking for. But he'll only tell if he doesn't know he's telling. Unfortunately, I can't exactly worm secrets out of him. But he seems to have taken to you. You up for it?'

"Excuse me sir,"Pluto says,"but what kingdom are you from anyway?" she thinks to herself *he might be a bad guy but he sure is cute*

Before everyone can start telling again, Ka Lo gestures for them not. "We have enough people thanks," she says calmly. "What I don't get is why everyone wants to destroy earth. If you do that, it will mess up the all the planets' alignment. I remember perfectly when Pemmujea was destroyed." She takes a nervous swallow when she realizes he said he was going to keep the necklace. "That necklace has no power what so ever,ä she says happily as to throw him off. ăIt used to be mine but I lost it. Iâm just glad someone like you picked it up. You could call it lucky, but I wouldn't." 'Yui has more cooperation then I thought he would. I wonder what his power is like.' Very casually she takes a reading of him, so no one takes notice.

After speaking to Saturn, Uranus walks up to Yui. 'I'm sorry I tried to steal the necklace. See, it was stolen from Ka Lo and I guess I kind of assumed you were the one who stole it.' She smiles guiltily. 'I'm really sorry. I didn't know you'd been given it.' She thinks to herself, *Here goes nothing. I doubt he'll believe a word I say, but it's worth a shot.*

To Ka Lo: You do not obtain reading. It's your guess that you can't do it because your life is not in danger! To everyone else: Yui watches Uranus apologize, still levitating. After which he smirks. "Forget about it," he says casually, while giving you a provoking look that means something opposite- More like 'I know you want a piece of me!--' He turns to Ka Lo, who said that the necklace was hers. "I believe you. The necklace shines the same color as your eyes. But," Then he leans over Ka Lo and says quietly, "I think this necklace is lucky enough to keep..."

Pluto walks next to Uranus "Ummm I'm not sure if you said but what kingdom are you from?" she starts to blush cause she thinks he's cute *man i hope he can't read minds cause then I would be REALLY emabarresed*

He turns to her and wipes his fingers through his too-long bangs. "I'm from the kingdom of Aitreya in thirtieth century. The kingdom that owns a third of the Universe and will destroy the Sailor Senshi."

"He wants us to just walk into an underground tunnel?" Ka Lo asks laughing. "Okay, who wants to go?" She runs up to Yui's side walking next to him. "What would make you think we would even consider helping our enemies?" She manages to get her laughter under control and tries to be serious. "We need more information. I know you must have some. Why do they want to destroy earth anyway? I'm sorry if Iâm being presumptuous, but my job is to keep everyone updated. I need to know everything first."

Zoltan's eyebrow started to twitch. "MY COMPUTER **** IT!!!! NO ONE BLOWS UP MY COMPUTER!!!" He was in love with his computer it seemed. Zoltan was very attached to computer... "OK, THAT'S IT!!!!" All the sudden, he points his hands right at the thundercloud. He twists his ands around, and fire devolps in his hands. "FIREBALL!!!" Zoltan screams, saying the name of the attack. "Now that I did that, I need to recover my computer..." Closing his eyes, he puts his hands at the junk that is left, and it starts to glow. Here we go, he's healing it again.

'So, he's got Ka Lo's necklace, eh? Seems like he's not willing to give it up either..' Elda thought to herself. "Okay, guys. I've had enough of this. I'm gonna go check out that temple place and see if there's anything we missed or might want a closer look at. I was taught to read some foreign languages myself - hopefully I'll be able to diciper some writings if I come across any, see ya." Elda turned around - de-transforming - and walked over to the place where Setsuna had found the first writings. Scooping her backpack back up on the way.

Zoltan continues to try and heal his computer. His eyes are still flaring in anger, as he turns to the thundercloud for a second. He clentches his hands into fists and then turns back to the ocmputer, trying to heal it. "C'mon, heal, I need this thing."

Ka Lo asks him more questions, and he assumes the arrogant air he had before. "You only need enough information to be threatened... I'm going to use Carpathia's machine to give us the ultimate power, so that our rule would be complete, and you can stop this from happening if you go down there and... and then destroy it..." Yui looks mentally anguished for a moment. "Hmm, it seems really stupid to invite you to find it just so you can ruin all our plans... but, I guess it's just as stupid for you guys to actually help me, so you can try and stop me. " He laughs. "Think of it as a competition, and whoever reaches there first wins." "...Of course, there's an even better way to solve all of this." He says, still grinning. "If you destroy me, then I'll never find it, and you guys can go home! That's why I'm leaving now." Yui exits by falling backwards into the tunnel he had pointed out earlier. He's immediately swallowed up by the darkness.

'Well, I'm glad he's gone.' Uranus relaxes and drops the fake smile. 'Although I still would've liked to have whacked off his head. But then Pluto-chan would be sad, right?' She grins at Pluto. 'Guess King Endymion has some competition...'

"Hey!" Ka Lo yells down angry. She turns around to face everyone else. "So... Does anyone think we should go down there? Maybe we could juts kill him..." She takes a deep breath and looks back down in the hole. 'Well, what could he do?' she thinks and jumps down after him.

'Just killing him sounds good to me,' mutters Uranus under her breath. 'Oh, well...Here goes...' She jumps down the hole after Ka Lo.

Saturn shrugs and looks at Uranus, "Yes that would be nice Haruka ^^* but unfortunatly I think we have to let him live" She stares into the darkness of the hole and shivers before going down "here goes nothing.." Taking a deep breath she jumps after Uranus, Ka Lo, and Yui.

Huh? What am i doing up here well if you can't beat em join em' *Jumps into the hole after the others*

Tori walked down a large, broken down corridor. Looking around at every thing. "This place sure is a mess. I wonder what it was like back in the Silver Millenium?" She stopped and sat down on a peice of stone that had fallen from the ceiling. "I guess the other aren't coming, might as well eat then." She opened her backpack revealing it crammed full of sandwhich's, soda cans, junk food and more. Oh - a compass, pocket knife, handy dandy 'What to do when your lost in a JUNGLE' book and a hyrogliphic book ALSO in her backpack. She pulled out a veggie chicken sandwhich. "Yummy!" She begin scarfing it down.

Setsuna sat next to Tori"Hey Tori-chan got any more veggie burgers?"she giggled. "So what do you think of that guy??"

Tori looked up at Pluto and smiled. "Sure do!" She picked up a can of black cherry soda pop, opened it and drank some. She dug through her bacpack to find another sandwhich. "I'm not sure what to think of him.. He's strange, a bit quirky, obviously not trust worthy and kinda cute.." Tori blushed when she relised she had said that outloud. "Veggie or real meat?" Tori help up two different sandwhich's. One meat. One veggie. "I keep both even though I'm a vegetarian.^^' Sometimes I'll eat chicken though.."

"I'll take veggie,"Setsuna said with a giggle,"and don't worry about what you said about him being a cutie I think so too!"she giggled again

Uranus sits down on a slab of rock (OOC:I'm presuming she lands without getting attacked) and stats thinking. *I wonder...what was this? I don't remember seeing it...what if it's a trap? Nah...On the other hand, I wonder if it might be...* She sits up suddenly, with an idea. *Could it be...?*

Zoltan tosses his hands in the air. "Whatever! If I get down, I can always come back up...What an advandge I'll have...IF I COULD GET DOWN!!!!!" The cloud shook as he screamed. He stomps his foot into the cloud, and his foot goes inside the cloud. "Hold up, wait a moment..." Zoltan gets a bag and gathers all his stuff into it (even the junk that used to be a computer). He shuts the bag and the proceeds to stuff his foot into the cloud. Strangely, he was thinking that if his whole body managed to get though the cloud, he would plummet down to the ground. And besides, he could heal himself anyways...And he did have his wings.

AK just follows every1 else, cause he has no idea what to do.

Venus lets go of the harness and runs off...she joins the others inside. "What's going on?!"

"Hey Venus," Chibi-Luna says happily. "What's going on?... We're about to find out...". Chibi-Luna looks around.

Venus smiles. "Hi Chibi-Luna!" She scratches Chibi-Luna's head. "You're so cute!" Venus looks around. "Okay. What next Chibi-Luna?"

To Zoltan: The fireball goes through the thundercloud, because it's, well, a cloud.^_^ As you heal the computer, you see it start to take shape again. Sadly, every time you turn on something electronic, it gets struck down by a spark of lightning, and you have to start all over again ^_^... You wonder just how many uncovered electrons this thundercloud is toting around with it:)

"Then I just won't turn this on!!!" Zoltan says, noticing that the computer was taking shape, and it kept on getting eletrocuted. He opens up the bag, just to make sure all things were intact. Then he opens up a dimension portal and throws it into the nothingness that is there, then closes the portal. Zoltan proceeds to stuff his foot though the cloud. He apparently thinks this will work... "C'mon!! It's not that hard to get stuck in a-" Zoltan fell inside the cloud. "CLOUD!!!" He pops his head above the cloud, looking like Santa Claus with a jewel on his head. "Gah!" Zoltan shakes his head, and all the clouds that were stuck on him flew off. Then he goes back inside the cloud.

To Sailor Elda and Sailor Pluto: You decipher the writing carved into the marble wall. Between Pluto's ancient knowledge and Elda's familiarity with hieroglyphics, it doesn't take very long at all. It seems like a short history of Carpathia. Here's what it says. Centuries and centuries ago, a sorceror built the blood-engine where Carpathia stands now. He was a very evil person and it caused strife all over the world. A city sprang up around the machine, and everyone in the city was mutated and wicked. After a while the Moon Kingdom got fed up with it and purified the city. But they couldn't destroy the blood-engine until the outer planets aligned themselves again. The Carpathians were charged with the duty of protecting the machine from evildoers. It was a daunting task and the city faced endless war and invasions. Thirty Moon-Years before the Great Battle of the Silver Millenium, they tried to destroy it again, but they accidentally triggered the engine's self-defense mechanism and Carpathia blew up. Since the Carpathians didn't want anyone reaching the blood-engine, ever, they hid it well and its pursuers have to endure three trials that represent the ordeals that the Carpathians had to go through all their lives. An explorer has to overcome the burdens of tears, and woe and wrath. The words were written by one of the restless souls in Carpathia. Many of the citizens are still wandering around in spirit-form because they can't get any rest until the engine is destroyed. Otherwise, they'll guard it for the rest of eternity.

Uranus, confused, starts pacing back and forth. 'Now what was it...Not the end of the Silver Millenium, farther back than that..in the mountains...near Italy..Got it!' She realizes that this is where the mutated city used to be. 'Now, what is here...I don't quite recall...Oh, now I remember! We were told...to wait for when the planets aligned...because then..something would happen..that's it! This must be the only time the dark power can be reached!'

Tori looked over the wall of writings again then looked over at Pluto. "Puu-chan.. Did you get all that?" She looked at the wall again. "Oh man. This is crazy. We have GOT to get that before the enemy does!" Tori jumped up and screamed her transformation phrase.

"Wow,"Setsuna said,"thats a pretty scary history huh Tori-chan?!"

To Uranus, Venus, Tux, AK, Saturn, Ka Lo, and anyone else who wants to be down there: You jump into the tunnel. It goes straight down for a long time, and you end up sliding down on your butt. It's fun. When you reach the bottom you feel a blast of cold, wet air. You stand around for a bit to make sure you aren't seeing things. The underground lair is big, by that I mean really big... bigger than that. The entire place is obscured with white fog and you can't see the ceiling, and you're not even sure if you're still underground(?).... You notice that you have returned to the jungle-like atmosphere... There is a stone walkway in the middle that is flanked by big, exotic plants. Only a couple feet ahead, there is a giant lake. In fact, the entire room is just water, and you happen to be on a ledge near the entrance. The water is filled with stuff. You can't see very far because of the fog, but in the area around you, the water's surface is interrupted with little stones, large outcroppings of jagged rock, lily pads, trees, and other plants. You know there is something on the other side of the lake. Again, you can only see the outlines, because of the fog. It's either a big building or something else really big. The plants are dripping wet for some reason. Even though you think there's a scientific reason for it, it makes you feel uneasy. You look into the water and see that it is cloudy and opaque. You have no idea what's in there. Sailor Uranus can't help but think it looks like some video-game^.^ Venus asks Chibi-Luna what to do. "I don't know what to do," she says shyly, and then she goes and hides in AK's cloak. It's a little hard to describe, but there are also ropes hanging over your head. They are several dozens of feet up, so you can't reach them unless you go up the wall or something. They stretch horizontally from the wall to the humongous building on the other side of the lake. You suspect that they could have been used for carrying things to the building, or something strange like that.

Uranus continues towards the end of the walkway, almost like she's stalking an invisible creature. 'I wonder...this place is just like a video game...JUST like...almost as though it's...not quite real...' She continues her musings in a low voice that nevertheless seems to carry quite a distance

Saturn gets a clueless look on her face as she examines the surroundings... What really caught her attention are the ropes overhead. "Guys what do you wanna do.." Her eyes kept flashing up at the ropes.

Zoltan crosses his arms, looking around in the cloud. "Now that I'm in the cloud, I need to get out of it." He literally swims though the cloud, and peaks his head though the bottom. "Maybe I've gotten though the barrier." Zoltan whispers, excitedly, he goes the rest of the way though the cloud and makes his wings appear. Now he's just standing there in the air, flapping his wings. "Man, I wanted to fall..." He looks over at the thundercloud and growls at it. Zoltan starts to fly in a downwards direction, until he's pushed backwards. His wings disappear and he seems to be standing on thin air. He bends down and starts pounding on the "thin air". "Oh darn..."

Ka Lo gets up quickly and starts off. 'I'm going to find it first!' she decides. She ventures farther disappearing into the fog.

Venus smiles. "Okay! I'm going to try and climb the wall!" She runs up the wall and starts climbing. She gets about 5 feet off the ground until she shrieks and falls. She lands on her butt. "Owww....talk about a butt buster." Venus looks at the thing that she was so scared about. A small spider sits on the wall. Venus gets a little sweatdrop on her forehead. "Hee Hee Hee. So...ummm.......who else is going to climb?" Venus starts to climb the wall. About 14 feet up, she looks down to see if anyone is going to follow. She looks up and starts climbing again.

Kiki clung onto to AK and looked around. "How the hell are we supposed to get out of here?" she asked. "And will someone tell me what the flip is going on!?!" she had been confused from the beginning, she seemed to be in her own little world for some reason, all spaced out.

AK looks at his surroundings and all the lily pads and thinks, *Frogger?...* He pulls Chibi Luna from his cloak(it gets stuffy in there^_^)And puts her on his shoulder. "So where do we go first?" AK pulls Kiki to him and tries to calm her down and explains the whole situation.

Chibi-Luna gets out of AK's coat and blushes *^_^* But it's so warm in there.... Chibi-Luna looks up at Sailor Venus who seems to be scaling the wall. "Hey Venus," she yells. "I don't think anyone is following you...." She turns back to AK. "I guess you could go across the lake... the stones don't look that bad..."

Venus looks down. "What did you say?!"

Sailor uranus and Sailor ka lo reach the edge of the lake. The path stops here. You hear frogs and crickets. They're really loud.... You think you hear animal sounds coming from the water but you can't be sure. You get a queasy feeling in your stomach from it. Anyway, you can't get any farther in this direction unless you hop over the stones.

Sailor Uranus stops at the edge of the water. 'I wouldn't like to fall in that water. It sounds like there are creatures in there.' She continues watching everything. 'I feel like...we're being watched.' She keeps looking around warily, occasionally turning her head quickly as though she was trying to see behind her. She pauses long enough to say, 'So, do we try crossing the stepping stones, or stay here? We might try climbing on those rope things, too. What do you guys think?'

AK grabs Kiki and runs over and starts hopping the stones.

"Eek" says Chibi-Luna. She ducks away and tries to crawl into AK's armor.

Elda shoved the last of her sandwhich in her mouth, chugged her pop down and closed her backpack up. "Okay, Puu-chan. We NEED to get going if we're going to find that machine before that Yui guy does! But I have no clue where to look, do you?"

Saturn looks around, *Chibi-luna's right the rocks look interesting* She runs up to Uranus and Ka Lo but stops as she reaches the edge of the water, "So guys, wanna jump the rocks?"




'I don't know...I don't particularly like the idea of being in a perfect position to fall into water with who-knows-what kind of creatures inside. But if you want to, I guess I should follow along. Anyway, we should only go in pairs, in case someone slips.' She turns to regard the stones closely, then turns back to the group. 'Come on, then. Looks safe enough. If we're going, let's go now.'

Ka Lo looks at the rocks, then just sighs. 'Nowhere to go but across the rocks,' she thinks annoyed. 'Well, maybe I don't have to go this way. Maybe I can turn back...' She studies the rocks a little longer then just begins to jump the rocks. She stops half way almost loosing balance. "Ack!" Ka Lo regains balance, then slowly jumps the rest of the rocks. She turns around to look at the water and signals for everyone else to come. Slowly she continues walking, not talking to anyone.

Grrrrr im always the one left behind!!!*crosses the rocks*

Saturn quickly follows using her glaive as a tool if she stumbled, "Ka Lo I'm comin' too!" Somewhere in the middle her foot partly slips in the water..

Zoltan proceeds to pound his fist into the "thin air" "DANG IT LET ME DOWN!! I WANT TO KICK SOME STUPID GUY'S BUTT NOW LET ME DOWN!!" He looks up, and angrily shakes his fist at the sky. Zoltan wonders how he even got this far. *I wonder how I even got to this stupid barrier thingy...* He continues to slam his fist. Then he makes his Golden Sword appear, from out of the bag into his hands. Then he starts to poke the "thin air" with it, hoping something will crack...Is that such a smart idea?

To Zoltan: it cracks:)

"YAH!!!" Zoltan wasn't thinking it would exactly work. He falls right down from the sky, from his height of about 105 miles up. (Ouch) Somehow, he perfectly lands on his feet a few feet away from the hole. "WOOHOO!!!" He jumps into the air. "YES!!!" Zoltan exclaims, looking around. He sweatdrops. "What a place...Carpathia." Zoltan shakes his head in shame, as he starts to look around. Eventually, he slams into a piece of construction equipment. "Oops...Hey, what is this thing doing just standing here?" He flies up on top of it, to get a better view of Carpathia. "Big, destroyed place." Zoltan mumbles, looking over to the hole. "Should I follow them, or no...NO! I can do this on my own, I'm not here for the safety of this dumb planet anyways." He looks at the hole, and kind of gags. Zoltan wonders how people could fight for love and justice, when it just never lasts. Especially love, since he thought his heart would never soften up. "Where to start?" Zoltan looks around. He closes his eyes so his wings disappear, and then he opens them back up.

dear zoltan: you're above the hole. nothing much is happening here. but you see sailor elda and sailor pluto there. they're off to one side...

hey ka lo, you thought you reached the other side and it turns out to be a really big rock and you're a little less than halfway there. there's no way you could reach without losing sight of land behind you, and of your friends in the fog. it's just... really really big. archer knight is close by though^_^. you feel some liquid sprinkle lightly on your head, which is strange cause you don't think it's raining... you look up and you see something black floating through the air. it's a bat, or maybe an umbrella (??). when it gets a little closer to you, you make out that it's a flying lizard with wings. To be more precise, it's a little flying water dragon. black liquid is dripping from its large, amphibious wings. It seems as though the entire thing may be liquid. The reptile swoops down and tries to bite you (ka lo). its not bigger than a cat itself but the jaws are mean-looking and filled with sharp fangs. to archer knight: you see it coming to get ka lo and you also see a small swarm of them flying around near the ceiling- about four or six. they look like a natural part of the landscape. they live here. that's what you are thinking about when a second one of them dips down in order to try and bite you as well. saturn: you fall to one knee, but you're ok, since you just misstepped a little. You scraped your knee^_^

'Saturn, wait!' Uranus pauses just long enough to yank off her boots, then, holding them in her hand, runs lightly across the rocks towards Saturn. She pulls Saturn up. 'Come on let's-' She notices the creatures through the fog. 'Oh. my. GOD!' She jumps from rock to rock, occasionally slippin slightly on the wet stone. However, she does not fall in (She's still barefoot). Soon, she is standing a few feet behind AK. She aims a 'World Shaking' at the dragon attacking him as it swoops overhead.

Saturn nods her head rubbing her knee a little. She stood open eyed at Ka Lo and the little water dragon. She closes her eyes and tries to concentrate on only the dragon and her symbol appears on her forehead emitting an indigo glow.

"What the!?" Ka Lo wobbles out of the way, but knows the dragon will come back. She regains balance and tries to see where it went. She can still feel it close by. 'This better be because of the cave and not Yui,' Ka Lo thought angry.

AK pulls out his bow and arrows as soon as he feels something try and bite him. Then he sees both the lizard thingy after Ka Lo and the thingy after himself. He pulls out 2 arrows, one for the first lizzy and one for the second lizzy. ^_^ "SOUL SHATTER!!!!" He yells as the arrows fly for their target in a blaze of white light.

Ka Lo grunts and just begins to run. Finally she is past everyone, and back where she started; even though she almost knocked over an assortment of people standing on the small rocks. "I'm leaving!" she shouts. "There is NO way! Anyone could get through here without going crazy!" She starts to stomp off angry. "You guys go ahead! And I mean everyone!" Ka Lo orders. "I'll be by in a while." Now... How do will I get back up there? I can't see anything above the darkness.

Uranus wobbles slightly when Ka Lo passes her. 'Sheesh.' She quicklyb regains her balance, however. 'Saturn? Are you there?' She can't see in the fog very well. 'Anyone?!' A tone of rising panic creeps into her voice.

Venus sighs. "Well, I guess no one is going to follow me." She keeps climbing. She stops. "Hey guys, I'm going up this way to see what is in that building over there!" She reaches the top, and carefully transfers over to the rope. She touches the rope wondering if it's sturdy. No knowing, she starts to carefully make her way across. After almost falling three times by walking. She goes on her stomach and carries her self over there. She looks down. "AHHH!!!!! WAY TOO FAR UP!!!!!!"

Zoltan sits down on the piece of construction equipment. "That Pluto girl, and that Elda person...That's all that's here, eh? I wish I could kick their butts, but they might be useful later..." He looks around, still holding his Golden Sword from earlier. His usually macaroni and cheese orange eyes were glowing this strange golden orange color. "Boredom." Zoltan mumbles, not giving too much of a care. He lets go of the Golden Sword and it just floats beside him. Finally, he gets up again and jumps off the contruction equipment, with the Golden Sword still by his side. Zoltan makes his way over to the hole and looks down into it, being careful not to fall in himself...

Elda turned around and saw Zoltan. "Eh? YOUR still around? I thought you ran off long ago, Zolly." She grabbed Pluto's arm and dragged her over to Zoltan. "Puu-chan, tell him the story! Tell him about that evil machine!"

"I know everything, Elda." Zoltan says, in a sort of annoyed voice. He points to the sky. "I was up there the whole time...I just got down..." Putting his head down, his eyebrow starts to twitch. He grabs the Golden Sword, and clutches on it tightly. "Look," Zoltan says, though gritted teeth, "I don't want your help. I'm not here to help you guys either, so just leave me alone, ok?! AND MY GOODNESS DO NOT CALL ME ZOLLY!!!" He starts to ignore them as he looks though the hole. Letting go of the Golden Sword once again, it floated besides him. Zoltan just growls a little, his eyes still glowing that funny golden orange color. He then notices that Elda could probably push him in there, even though he was pretty strong. This was because his feet were hanging partially over the edge. Zoltan instantly moves away from the hole, and hops back on the piece of construction equipment. "Man, why can't I just kill them!?" He angrily whines, looking up at the sky. His voice was like an whisper, so it was doubtful anyone else could hear him...

When Zoltan hunkers down on the nearby construction equipment, he awakens the attention of Yui, who was just hanging around, and not doing anything in particular^_^. He looks Zol-kun up and down with a curious expression. "Who are you, Sailor Transvestite?" he finally asks. Then he turns a little and notices Elda and Pluto are there too. He gets a teardrop on his face. "Man, I guess they left the stupid ones back here...."

Zoltan growls. "If you think I'm here to help them, Yui, you're wrong...I want to kill most of them, actually all of them...Payback for what they're ancestors did a long time ago." He looks at Yui, crossing his arms. Zoltan smirks at Yui, thinking that he was the stupid one. "And I may be a senshi, but in most of my forms I'm not." It was true. Crystal Healer isn't a senshi! Zoltan (which is a form in itself) isn't a senshi! Tenshi no Chiyu isn't a senshi! Also, in other forms that he doesn't know about, he had no signs of being a senshi. "You're really the stupid one, just giving the postion of what you need to these bakas." Zoltan comments, but whispers in a voice that no one else can even pick up. "But we seem to have a common cause, ne? Destroy these dumb senshi..."

Elda just shook her head at Zoltan and glared at Yui when he popped up. She looked a bit angrily at Zoltan when he mentioned the senshi killing ancestors. "Okay damnit, LOOK here Zoltan! I NEVER harmed ANY one of your ancestors in ANY way!! I barely had any contact with any one that wasn't living on my planet so just STOP being rude to me! I try to be nice but you just don't give a shit, do you?" Elda took a breath and sat herself down on a rock. "So please...Just.. don't tune me out before you've gotten to know me.."

Zoltan seems to be ignoring Elda... He finally coughs and looks over at Elda. "Look, ELDA, if you have any sort of relation with them, I don't give a care about who you are. You're an enemy all the same--Besides, why should I believe you anyways?" Zoltan turns his back to her, and looks back over at Yui. He raises an eyebrow slightly. "So, General Yui," of course, he gave away that he knew a whole lot about him, "why did you give the postion away? I mean, I don't understand that reasoning." Zoltan blinks, and sweatdrops a little. What he didn't get is, what if the baka Sol Senshi got there first? That means Yui didn't complete his mission.

Uranus' "world shaking" gets off with quite a spin to it- It hits both of the oncoming lizards. They shake up and their liquidness starts to break apart. "SOUL SHATTER!" Two arrows from AK go flying towards them; You hit the one that was going for Ka Lo but not the one coming for you... They're fast little buggers.... An indigo glow shines from Sailor Saturn's head. It expands, shoots out of her head, and smacks both of them like a giant gust of wind. The first little water-dragon dies, and it falls out of the sky like a rock. The second one turns tail and runs away. The rest of them run away as well. They don't need this^_^. Chibi-Luna starts shouting at Ka Lo as she runs away. "Nooo!!!!!" After they're gone, then the rumbling in the water gets louder and louder. You swear you see a gigantic fin slicing through the water next to you, but when you look at it, it's gone. All of a sudden there's an enormous splash in front of you. It blinds you for a second. You discover that the water doesn't taste that good at all. When you look again, there is a HYDRA in front of you.... It is a sea monster with five dragon-like heads on long, eel-like necks. The heads are all moving around and there is smoke coming from the nostrils. In addition to this, the hydra's head in the middle has a big, blue jewel embedded in its forehead. It's kind of pretty except for the fact that it's embedded in the forehead of a nasty five-headed sea monster {grin} To Sailor Venus: After you get on the ropes, they start moving by themselves! They're carrying you over the lake towards the temple-like structure, so you don't have to move at all! After a couple moments, you are able to get yourself into a sitting posture which is more comfortable. And some time after that, you see the rest of your friends coming up below you. ^_^.

Venus kind of freaks out, but she calms down. She waits patiently for the rope to reach the other side.

Ka Lo turns around, looking straight at the Hydra with terrified eyes. She swallows then slowly walks back to the water. She brings out her sword slowly, not quite looking forward to fighting this thing. "Why am I so afraid?" she asked herself out loud.

Saturn stares at the Hydra, horrified, stupified at the sight of it. She starts walking back until she realizes that she's on a stone, "What kind of fool am I being.." She smacks herself and steps forward again, clutching her glaive, "What else can I do but attack.." She takes a deep breath and thinks about what to do, *If I attack to lightly it'll just anger the hydra* Apparently the hydra had frightened her into thinking "Silence glaive....SURPRISE!" She thrusts her glaive out and a huge pink energy force erupts from her glaive creating an explosion.

Uranus lets out a small scream. Then she gets ahold of herself. 'Guys-don't attack the heads. If this is what I think it is, two heads will grow back for every one you destroy. I think...we should hit either the underbelly or the gem. One of those shuld be the weak point.' She quietly takes aim at the gemstone. 'Space Sword BLASTER!' *I don't think that'll really do much, but I should get the measure of its strengt. And its attention. If I'm lucky.* She waits for the results.

I guess your right Saturn ill aim for the stomach...SMOKING BOMBER!!!!

Ka Lo takes a deep breath walking back to under the hole. She wasn't sure what to do. She was on one side, the others were on the other. If she attacked, it could be sent flying straight towards them on the rocks. She already could see the light Saturn set off and knew they already had everything under control. Or at least she thought they did. "Okay," she breathed. "Elda! Pluto!" she shouted up. "Any of you up there?!" *If you are up there, don't come down...* she tried telling them mentally.

'Wha-?'Elda stopped walking and turned around, dashed back to the hole and knelt down to it. "Hello! Ka Lo-chan?? Was that you?!" She looked puzzled. Elda peered down the dark hole. Awaiting an answer.

Yui corrects Zoltan. "If your goal is to destroy the Sailor Senshi... then your interests actually conflict with mine. I need them to finish the trials and get the keys to the machine, after which, I'll take it from them and I'll use it to destroy them and all on life on earth. Once that's done, you could-- oh wait, you don't fit into this equation," he says tauntingly. He shrugs... thinks a little bit. "Anyway, if you're really trying to kill these Senshi (you're one of them you know) then why don't you look for the terrible machine as well?? I don't know about the machine's full abilities... but I'm sure that once you taste its awesome power, their DEATHS will only be a thought away... Death and destruction- that's all you really want. Isn't it?" At this last part his eyes gleam, making you wonder if he is talking to you or talking to himself. I hope you understand that Yui is saying this in the most insolent manner possible. ... It seems he doesn't believe that you really want to kill them^_^.

Zoltan just blinks. "The machine? I don't really care about this dumb planet anyways." He mutters. "I don't even come from here. Now why would I need a machine to destroy them?! I like combat, I like a challenge." *I already have the power to destroy the universe!* Zoltan mentally complains to himself. Of course, Zoltan did want the senshi's death and destruction, but the only person he knew that wanted everyone to die was Nenhenyi. Maybe Nenhenyi influnced him? "And, I know what you're thinking. I'm not really one of them, I confess. I'm a senshi, but I'm mostly not. I come from a different group, a different solar system, actually, it's not a solar system at all I believe...But, anyhow. I really do want to kill them. I want death! I find blood funny for pete's sake! I'm not going to help them find that stupid machine though. You just want me to help so I can be destroyed too, don't you? Well, I'm not really a threat to you, or your dumb mission. I won't be a threat to the Crystal Senshi, either. I won't hurt you unless you tick me off. The only way I'll join the fight if you destroy what I'm trying to protect--Which I'm not going to tell you." Zoltan finally stops talking, to catch his breath. Ok, maybe Nenhenyi didn't influence him. It sounded like he truly meant this, maybe in his mind, and maybe even in his cold heart. He could be a very cruel person, even though he was so gentle at other times...

Elda held back her swelling tears. "Fine." She got up gripping her staff tightly. "Puu-chan.. Let's go." Elda said as she turned angrily and walked away form them all.

"OK."said Pluto

To Zoltan outside: "Challenge? yeah, whatever. The way I see it, the only reason not to seek the engine is because you're either too scared or you don't really want to kill them... but then that isn't really any of my business. Do whatever you want. It's too much effort to talk to you." Yui says this. For a moment he stares at Sailor Pluto and Elda's butt (she's leaning over the hole). "...They've probably reached the first trial by now, poor kids." He says shrugging, and then he makes his exit. He just leaves somewhere (I suspect Zoltan doesn't really care where he goes). To Sailor Saturn: You use "Silence glaive surprise!". Pink ribbons shoot out of your glaive and create a large explosion on the monster. You see a huge splash, as some of the rocks and the water gets destroyed. The hydra makes a very horrible noise of pain. After the noise dies down, it looks very hurt. In response, two of the heads stare at you. You wait for them to make an offensive, but they don't. Instead, several small snakes come out of the water (around six), and the snakes crawl all over you. They hinder your movement so you can't swing your glaive around. The two heads are just staring at you, and you suspect that the snakes are actually a part of the hydra. You feel yourself getting pulled towards the water-- the snakes are trying to bring you into it. To Sailor Uranus: You aim your sword attack for the gem in the skull of the middle-head. As you hit it, there is a large flash of light and you are violently thrown backwards. It's indestructible! As you ricochet from the force of the blow, into the air, the middle head locks its sight on you, opens its mouth and shoots out a cloud of flame. At you! Eeek! To Tuxedo Mask: "Smoking bomber!" You are aiming for the thing's underside. The sea-monster's underbelly is mostly submerged in water, but you could hit the top part of it. You do so and the smoking bomber creates a large black blemish. Sadly, you didn't quite break through its skin. The fifth head gets mad at you. It races towards you and tries to bite you.!! To Sailor Venus: Nothing much here. The air feels nice. You could see your friends fighting the monster below you, and the signs of destruction from Saturn's glaive-explosion.

Venus bites her lip. "I wonder if I should be down there?" The rope reaches the end. She steps into the place.

Uranus laughs lightly. 'Well, that worked better than I planned. I definately have its attention.' She jumps over towards Saturn, thereby escaping the line of flame. She yanks at the snakes. 'Oh, this is no good. Space Sword Blaster!' She aims at where the snakes enter the water.

Saturn struggles to make some type of movement from the tight grasp of the snakes with vain. She was actually pretty freaked out by the snakes attempting to bring her down. "Damn this sucks...." She looks around and sees Uranus attacking, *boy I'm just a sitting duck waiting to be rescued..I don't like it..there must be something I can do* After thinking about something she closes her eyes and tries to concentrate hoping she can attack again.

Woa Boy Whoa!!! *leaps out of the way of the head* you just don't want to give up don't ya!? TAKE THIS!!!!! *throws to roses in each eye* heh heh heh

Ka Lo can hear Elda, but for the moment she doesn't answer. "I can't see the other side of this thing!" she yells angry. She holds her sword tightly and walks over to the water. She swipes the sword against its tail, that is pretty close to her. Before seeing if it reacts she runs away scared. "Elda!" she shouts. "There's a big giant thing down here! It has five heads!"

Zoltan just looks at him, as he leaves. *I'm not scared...I ain't no wimp.* He thinks, watching his figure disappear. Zoltan thought that Yui was the wimp in all of this, though. He just growls at Yui, even though he wasn't there. Of course, this looked a little crazy. Not minding, Zoltan lays back on the construction equipment. *Man, and sometimes they call me the "Master of Affairs"? Look at Yui, staring at their stupid butts! Jeez!* Zoltan rolls his eyes at this, and then laughs. The funny thing was, there was no reason to laugh.

'This isn't work-ing,' grumbles Uranus. She gives up on blasting, and starts slicing at the snakes with the keen blade of her sword.(OOC:She keeps it very sharp!) 'Just like chopping vegetables.'

She also shakes Saturn by the shoulder lightly with her left hand. 'Saturn? Are you all right?! Answer me!' There is a tone in her voice of barely-controlled panic.

Tuxedo Mask throws TWO roses in BOTH eyes. Your aim is perfect in each case. The eyes split open, and white goo comes out as the roses get embedded in them.... The fifth head bucks around and makes a lot of noise as it panics, unable to do anything. Finally, it just falls to the ground totally defunct. Uranus aims "Space sword blaster!" at the snakes who are trying to claim Sailor Saturn. Parts of them break apart, but more are still holding her. Uranus hacks at them. But, just as she finally gets Saturn free- one more snake comes out of the water and coils around Uranus' ankles. It quickly pulls her down and into the water. To Sailor Uranus: You're underwater! The water is full of crap so you can't see very far... There is one long snake tangled around your ankles, and trying to pull you deeper into the water. To Sailor Saturn: You're free! But the monster still has its sights set on you. The second and third heads blow a stream of smoke at you. You can't see anything! Aside from the fact that the smoke hurts your eyes, everything looks all grey and black and you can't see a single foot in front of you.... You suspect that you are about to be attacked again, but you're already disoriented and you can't tell where it's going to come from!... You hear the sound of one of the heads growling above you... Meanwhile, Sailor Ka Lo swipes her sword on its tail. The fourth head turns around and blows fire at her while she is running away. It blows fire down the tunnel with the entrance in it! Trying to toast Sailor Ka Lo! Sailor Ka Lo seems cornered and the only path out is straight up!! For Sailor Venus: Venus reaches the other side safely. After the rope reaches the end of the path, there is a set of stairs back to ground-level so you could enter the temple. When you walk into the temple, the first thing you notice is a tall buddha statue. It's so big your head only reaches to its lap. The statue is making a sign of greeting to all who enter, but in your opinion, it looks a little weird cause it's just staring at you. Also in this temple, you see some nice furniture (yay) and a mural with the sea monster on it. There are some dishes for serving green tea, but there's nothing in them. Off to one side, there is a large door and it's locked. There's a little hole next to it, and it looks like something should be placed in the hole.

"Ewwwww" says Tux as he trys to hold back his hurl."Well at least I hit the thing."

Uranus is(duh) holding her breath. *This is not good. Gotta think of something before I drown. I wonder-can I get at the thing?* She almost dives deeper so she is bent over to reach her feet. *Okay. Forget an attack, don't think they work underwater. Gotta try just slicing it.* She starts hacking at it, however, her struggles grow steadily weaker as she loses oxygen. Finally, she goes completely limp, and hangs in the water. Her right hand still holds her sword in a death grip.

Elda saw Yui glace at herself and Pluto's bums. "PERVERT!" She screamed and threw a rock at him - but he was gone before it could hit. "Humph.." She turned back around when she heard Ka Lo. "What?!!FIVE heads?! Get out of there!"

Ka Lo looks back to see the fire and smoke coming. "FIRE?!" She runs faster and jumps up the hole. She can't jump high enough to reach the top but just enough where she can take her sword, cram it into the walls of the hole, and hold on. Which she does right away. She looks down seeing some fire begin to past. "Okay, I canât exactly get out. But I am stuck in the hole as of now." She laughs nervously looking down.

"Whaat?!"Pluto looks at Sailor Elda,"Who's a pervert??!!"

Zoltan smirks. "Dumb ol' Yui." He mutters, looking over to where he left. Zoltan just shrugs, looking down at the ground. He swings his feet over the edge of the construction equipment, probably a bulldozer. "Five heads? That's definitely a hydra." As you see, he didn't really care if they were talking to him or not. It seemed like he was talking to himself. *A hydra? That reminds me of that pain in the butt Zetsumeiko...Geez...Why does Nen have such a dumb sister?* Zoltan thinks, hanging his head.

Elda sighed. "Forget it Puu-chan.." She grumbled."And I KNOW that it's a hydra. I'm not an idiot y'know." She looked back at the hole and saw a dim DIM little bit of light (the fire) for a moment. "Ka Lo?! Are you alright down there?!! Should I go down and help you?" Elda was getting a bit panicky after hearing about the dragon-hydra.

Pluto looked at Sailor Elda "Ok Tori-chan....Was that just fire that we saw down there!!" she thinks to herself *dragon-hydras are scary but Tori-chan and I can defeat anything*

Ka Lo jumps up onto her sword, still looking down. "That's fire alright, but don't come down. For some reason I don't believe anything important is down here. I think they have things under control, but I can't see anything." She tries to reach the top of the hole, while trying not to fall off her sword. She stands up more straight, reaching for the top.

"Hey Tori-chan,"Pluto says,"Do you think that we could pull her up?" "I mean she has fire down there with her."

"I dunno know Puu-chan, do you think we could even reach her?" Elda bit her lip, fretting about what to do. "You think the whole deal was just a stupid trick that idiot Yui played on you guys, Ka Lo?"

Venus gets a little creeped out by the Buddhist statue, so she walks to the door. She looks at the the hole. "Something goes in there." Venus puts her finger in there. ^-^

ka lo- you can't reach tori and puu-chan, it's about 15 feet straight up and there isn't really any way to get out. the fire passes under you and crashes into the wall. boom! uranus - Things don't look good for you. Because of your strugglings, though, you overpower the snake and reach the surface of the water again. You look around and see the rock that you had been standing on moments earlier. The snake wrapped around your ankles has been beaten ino submission^_^ Tux and saturn - Right now the sea-monster only has four heads since tux beat up the last one. You see the hydra back up a couple steps as it attempts a new plan of action. First it blows a ton of smoke at everyone. Then, while its that much harder to see what's happening, it swipes its tail at both of you. You are slow to react because of the smoke; when you see its tail coming, it is only seconds away from hitting you. (!) venus - no it's a bit bigger than your finger... you think of all the things that could possibly fit in there, and then it hits you- the gem on the hydra's third forehead would fit in there perfectly. ^_^

Venus smiles. "Maybe I should try and put my head in there!" Venus leans over and starts to put her head in there. ^-^

Athe tail suddenely appears in the smoke Tux has no other choice but to stand there and watch his fate come flying towards him....

Chibi-Luna jumps out and tries to protect Tuxedo Mask with her body (ignoring the fact that she is about ten times smaller than him). She clings on to the front of his jacket. "EEK! Help us!!!" She yells as loudly as she possibly could.

The smoke from the first puff made Saturn go into a slight fit of coughs. As soon as she could open her eyes without them watering the next blow of smoke came. "W-what's happening??" She jabs her glaive out infront of her as she sees the tail begin to swing at her and Tux. "Tuxedo Mask if you won't do anything try and block" She jumps infront of Tux and Chibi-Luna,hoping her attack will work, "Silence Wall!"

Uhhhhh!!!! yells Tuxedo Mask franticly.Hope this works!!!*Tux holds up his stick as a shield even though its awfully hard with Chibi-Luna attached to his chest.Please work Ahhhhhh!!!

She pops up above the surface and draws in a deep breath, then bursts into a fit of coughing. Through her coughs, Uranus can barely see Tuxedo Kamen & Saturn being attacked. Without thining, she screams at them with all the force her tired lungs can muster. 'Jump!' She has no time to do anything else before the tail would hit them. She climbs out onto the rock and yanks her shoes back on. *Real useful. This sucks.* She wobbles and sits down suddenly on the rock, trying to regain her breath.

Uranus looks at the snake she'd yanked off her ankles, and a speculative glint comes to her eye. 'I wonder...' She grabs it and yanks-HARD.

"What should we do Tori-chan?!I mean we have to do something!I just can't think!!!" she thinks to herself *Arrggh this is really starting to piss me off!*

'I can barely see the top,' Ka Lo thought angry. "I really do not think anything is down here. I can't feel it, and I haven't seen any sign of another life; besides the stuff that already lives here..." The explosion from the wall starts to shake everything around her. She struggles to stand on her sword. "Well... The fire's gone."

"Ahh, I don't KNOW Puu-chan!" Elda clings to her friend frantically. "YOU'RE older than me AND the mistress of time. YOU think of somethiiiinng! Waaaaaaaii!!!" She screams. "Ooooh, I hate this! Ka Lo, be okay!!" Now Elda was starting to let her ditzyness out. If she did she could be a lot like Usagi...

"Ok ok calm down I am going to try something but I'm not sure if it will work!"Pluto says tring to sound confident. "Garnet Ball!"Pluto screams,"Please rescue Ka Lo!" *I hope this works*she thinks to herself

Zoltan just sighs, grabbing his Golden Sword. "This is boring!" He sits up and jumps off the bulldozer. Curiously, Zoltan starts to wander around. He traces his fingers across a broken down rock that would have probably been a pillar before. Zoltan just shakes his head, shamefully. "It's such a shame." He looks up, with lots of things running though his mind. Zoltan was wondering is the machine was really the key to complete destruction. His more evil, cunning side started to take over. "Eh...Maybe that thing can destroy all...In a more painful way then my strong attack...New plan..." He grins slyly, looking for a shortcut to enter. If he could find a eaiser way to get the the machine, maybe he could find it first! Then he could use it to destroy them!

To Sailor Pluto: "Garnet Ball!!" You invoke the awesome will of the Garnet Ball and chant your commands... but before you can complete the invocation, you fall into the hole! You're not exactly clear on what happened but you definitely find yourself falling. To Elda: You also fall into the hole. Luckily, neither you nor Puu-chan land directly on Sailor Ka Lo. To Ka Lo: It's raining Sailor Senshi. To Saturn: Silence Wall saves you from the ferocious swing of the dinosaur's tail! It slams into it and black lightning goes flying everywhere! The monster rears back in surprise. To Tuxedo Mask: Your spinning cane isn't effective because the Silence Wall already blocked the attack. However, you discover that if you spin your cane really really fast, you get a cool wind effect . There is a long pause as the hydra stares at the Silence Wall, trying to figure out how to get through it o.O.... O.o... Somewhere around this time, Sailor Uranus cruelly yanks on one of its tentacles. Mr. Hydra is extremely startled at having one of its extremeties yanked at some inopportune moment-- and, not knowing what just happened or who on Earth caused it, it freaks out one-hundred-percent and begins running. It splashes past Sailor Saturn, and anyone else in its way, and then stomps up onto land.... Not the side with the temple on it- the other side, back where Ka Lo went. To Pluto, Elda, and Ka Lo: A snake-guy is advancing towards you. It has five serpent-like heads(one of which is defunct), that are breathing smoke from their nostrils. Its scaly body is huge and fat, like um..... a cross between a dinosaur and a potato. As it runs, it drags along its tentacles behind it.... and the bottom half of it is covered with seaweed and little organisms from the water. Anyway, this thing is running at you, and roaring menacingly. (!!!!) It is unknown whether the meaning of this roar is, "You'll pay for hurting me!" or "Sailor Senshi, you look yummy!" or "I am running with no notion of my destination; please move out of the way before I trample you", but not a single one of these options looks pleasing. And finally, Sailor Venus: You try to stick your head into the little recess by the door..... But the door doesn't open. There was a bunch of really old spider-webs in the little niche and now they're on your head^_^. (OOC- I know... the urge to have your head get stuck in the hole was overwhelming^_^) And also Zoltan: You're all alone.

Zoltan grabs somethings and tosses them over his head. In a few minutes, there's a huge pile of random things located in the middle of Carpathia. "Oh come on..." He only used one of his hands to toss the things. In his other hand, there was the Golden Sword. "If I can't get in by finding a shortcut, I'm gonna' hafta' make a dang shortcut!" Zoltan says, determined. He points his Golden Sword to the ground, then lifts the sword above his head. Zoltan grabs onto the Golden Sword with both hands, and then slams it down at the ground a few times. He gulps, and backs up after he slams it on the ground for the fourth time. "You better work...Or I'll destroy this whole city!" Zoltan backs up just a little more, so if a hole even ended up there, it wouldn't get him. Silently, he tosses a fireball at the same spot where he hit the sword at, and backs up even more.

Ka Lo grabs Elda and swings her on top her sword. Her reflexes aren't fast enough to get Pluto. Then she jumps down, dragging Elda with her. As she falls down she swings her sword out of the wall and lands to the ground. She takes a deep breath deciding what attack to do, or if she should just jump out of the way.

"Wragh!" Elda fell down after Ka Lo. Landing on her butt. "Owwies.." She took one look at the oncoming hydragon-dragon-thingy an jumped up. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!!" Elda shriked

'Eep!' Uranus jumps slightly when the hydra lumbers out of the water. 'O-kay, now I know what happens if I yank on a snake.' She sees the hydra heading for Ka Lo & them. 'Not good. How'd they get down here? I sense machinations afoot. Never mind, not important.' She runs across the stones back to land.*I can't do anything! I better warn them about the heads and the gem.* She calls out, 'Guys! Don't attack the heads! Try hitting the burn mark on its stomach!' She can do nothing but wait for a chance.

"Ahhhh!!"Pluto screams as she falls down the hole. "Ok I try to attack the burn mark Haruka!"

"Dead Scream!"Pluto yells *hopefully this works!!*

Tux just sits there watch as he catches his breath...

Pluto's Dead Scream hurtles towards the burn mark already on the hydra's stomach. The air glows purple. You really thought that this attack would disintegrate the monster, but it manages to keep itself integrated with a great amount of effort. Its feet give out below it and it falls to the ground with a ground-shaking *thump*. The darn thing gets up again-- it's still alive but it is very very hurt.... You notice that the fog increases... (it must be a defense mechanism of the monster.) When this happens, you can no longer see it clearly- just its outline remains. You hear a strange sound that you can't quite place. Hmmm, it reminds you of a fire extinguisher. The Amphibian Wonder makes a strange hocking noise and then spits out a spray of acid at all the good guys. You notice that when the little tiny droplets land on the plants, they burn holes into the leaves. Gross! Hydra-san sends a drizzle of caustic material towards Pluto, Elda, and Ka Lo, and then turns half of its heads around and spits at Sailor Uranus, Saturn, Tuxedo Mask, Archer Knight, and Kiki. Elsewhere: Zoltan blasts a big hole in the floor. A second one. When Fireball explodes, the ground caves-in around the general area, and you have a new entrance into the underground level. It's hard to make out what's down there because of a thick fog. In fact it looks all white to you. But if you fly down a short distance, you find yourself in a jungle-like atmosphere. You get the impression that it is a very, very big underground room. Like really big. There is a temple here. The temple is situated next to the wall, and there are stairs leading up to it. All around the temple, there is only water. The water looks a little yucky, and there is a lot of stuff in it (tree branches, leaves, rocks, animals, etc.). While it's true you don't know too much about the layout of Carpathia, the temple has that kind of look that just screams, "you're supposed to go this way!!". You can't see much more because of the heavy fog in the area.

Zoltan blinks and peers down into the hole. Unfortunately, he drops his sword. "Oh drat." He jumps into, just to follow the Golden Sword. Zoltan grabs it, and just levitates in the air. Actually, the thing was, he had invisible wings on his back. "Hey, cool!" Zoltan liked disgusting, weird things so he found this pretty neat. He started to fly around, inspecting the area. Noticing the temple, he got a sly smirk and flew up to it. "Now where's the entrance?" Zoltan helped run a shrine himself--He sort of knew how temples worked. Zoltan thought that this must be a temple for the keepers of Carpathia, or their gods...

Ka Lo struggles to get out of the way, since the drizzle is everywhere. None seems to have touched her, but it sends a lot of anxiety into her. Not completely sure what to do, she takes a quick reading of the monster's power and any possible weaknesses.

Elda grabbed Pluto's hand and scrambled her and her self out of the way of the guey 'drizzle' stuff. "What in the universe was THAT?!!!"

The enemy is a magical creature with sharp claws, fangs, fire breath, regenerating heads, and a lot of other tricks you wouldn't expect. It has no elemental weaknesses. I wouldn't suggest using a water attack since it lives in the water anyway, so it probably wouldn't care that much. So it seems the only way to get through it is to just beat it up^_^. It is hurt already.

"Hmm..." Not completely sure what to do, Ka Lo just goes straight towards the hydra with her sword. She slashes at its stomach, or any other part that is slash able, and runs back scared.

AK yanks Kiki around out of the way of the guey acidic stuff and just barely manages to get himself out of the mess. He powers up and pulls out a few bows and arrows from his quiver time pocket. Then he thinks..*This thing has been alive too long, I'm through and I'm sure everyone else is through playing Mr. Nice Guy...* AK takes out 10 arrows and loads them into his long bow. "SOUL SHATTER!!!!!!!" He roars as he sends all arrows flying in a bright white blinding light.

Kiki rolled over onto her side. "what the?" she aid looking at the stuff flying at her. She placed her hand on her wand and whispered "Aries Star Sign Power" and transformed. "Need help?" she asked AK with a grin. "Aries Zoidac Star Explosion!" she aimed the attack in the same direction he did.

As the acid stuff flys toward Tux and the others,tux jumps up and trys to get every one out of the way but its too hard. But then before Tux could react a drop of acid stuff burns through his tuxedo like a hot knife through butter.AHHHH!!!as tux screams in pain.

Uranus, behaving more through instinct than anything else, flips backwards. *Can't go much farther away, or I'll end up in the water-the WATER!* She grabs Tux around the wrist with one hand, and Saturn with the other, and drags the three of them into the water, where the acid does not penetrate. She holds her breath as long as is feasible, then pops back up. 'Tuxedo Kamen! Saturn! You guys alright?'

Ka Lo slashes at it wherever possible, and runs. The hydra tries to dip down to bite her, but she's too quick. A few more cuts appear on its wounded underside. The hydra gets greatly annoyed^_^. Sailor Uranus forcibly steals Saturn and Tux, and goes into the water with them! You look up and see the acid rain patter against the surface of the water, and then dissolve into nothing. As soon as they reach the top again, Chibi-Luna jumps off of Tux. She reaches back to the rock. sputtering... "You know Sailor Uranus, just cause you're all wet doesn't mean you have to go and make the rest of us wet...." "Aries Zodiac Star Explosion!" Sailor Aries summons the power of her zodiac. It slams into the hydra and really shows it who's boss. It roars in confusion. ....But what really messes with it is Archer Knight's no-nonsense approach-- ten live arrows converge on the poor spectre, riddling it like a dart board. A trail of smoke can be seen emanating from each of the perforations. The hydra falls over dead. Within seconds its body turns into smoke and starts to vanish into the thin air. Everything leaves, and then there is a giant hydra's skeleton in front of you. Wait, scratch that. After a moment, the skeleton disappears too. All that's left of it is the blue stone, which falls to the ground with a clatter.... You didn't notice it before, but the stone is glowing in a cool way... possibly like a prehistoric lava lamp.... Chibi-Luna is off to one side complaining. "Cold... wet... cold... wet..." To Zoltan: You find a giant Buddha gesturing his salutations upon entering the temple. Sailor Venus is here doing something. You're not sure what she's doing but whatever it is, it's stupid. Right now she's trying to stick her head into a small niche beside a set of double doors that are locked tight.

"Just proves that they're stupid." Zoltan mumbles, flying near the Buddha statue. He watches Venus pathetically try and get her head in the hole. Zoltan spins his Golden Sword, making his wings visible. "So it's a temple for Buddha, eh?" Curiously, he turns to the statue for a moment. He smiles and then turns away from the statue, back to the stupid-acting Venus. Zoltan frowns. "What are you doing?!" He asks Venus, sweatdropping.

Saturn climbs out of the water unto a rock, coughing up some water, "I'm okay I think Uranus..just wished I was ready for that so I wouldn't have swallowed the water" She hops over to Chibi-luna and picks her up, "Ah quit complaining I'm cold and wet too" She rolls her eyes until the blue stone catches her eye, "Hello..what a pretty stone" Walking over to it, she picks it up with her free hand, "hmm.."

'Whatever, Chibi-luna. Don't tell me you'd rather have acid burn holes in you. It's just a little water.' She swings up onto dry land and mischevieously flicks more water at the small cat. Uranus then walks over to Saturn and looks at the jewel lying in her palm. 'Funny, it looked larger before. What do you think it does?' She only notices now that Venus isn't here. 'Hey, where's V-chan? Maybe she's found something.'

AK picks up the stone and goes over to Ka Lo. "Ka Lo, could you get me a reading on this thing?"

"Phew" SailorAries wipes her forehead. "Good one love" she said to AK, patting his back. "Everyone ok?" she looked around. "O Chibi-Lun..." she mumbled seeing the poor little wet cat. She picked her up and stroked her back trying to warm her. "What is it?" she asked Ka Lo and AK looking at the rock thing. "Its creepy in a cool way" she smiled.

Ka Lo looks at it and shrugs. "I guess I could. I already can feel it has a lot of power of some kind." She tries to take a reading of it, but is having some difficulty. "This stone is very stubborn," she says annoyed. "I'll try again..."

Archer Knight has the stone, and Sailor Saturn has the kitten. The rock has a very "ancient-feeling" kind of power, from millenia ago. Yeah, it has that special something... When you hold the stone, it also gives you a really weird sense of sadness, as if somebody may have been sacrificed to make it. Chibi-Luna gets a great idea. "Hey, why don't we contine ahead to that temple, since that's the direction we were going in until we got side-tracked.... I think Sailor Venus is ahead of us. She must have figured out tons of stuff by now."

Zoltan flies behind Venus and smirks. *Maybe I can get her stuck in the hole...* He thinks, looking at Venus closely. Zoltan sighs, and thinks for a second, then shakes his head. "Well, whatever the hell you're doing, oh well!" With that, he kicks her. trying to force her into the hole.

Ak shrugs. "Whatever you say, cat." He feels a deep inner sadness and feels death around him as he clutches the stone.

Uranus grabs the ropes and starts swinging easily towards the temple. *I wonder...trial of tears...hang on a second! That didn't feel very testlike. I'm beginning to suspect that Yui-or whoever he is-has fed us nothing but a tissue of lies, beginning to end. But it can't hurt to check out the temple. But, if we're supposed to be here, maybe it could...No matter.* She lands lightly on the ground near the temple. 'We're here-but where is here?' She quietly slips around behind the Buddha statue, blending with the shadows.

Ka Lo stares at the stone confused. She just shrugs it off and starts for the temple. "If that's where we need to be, that's where we'll go." She walks past AK, giving a passing glance of the stone. Quickly Ka Lo looks away from it and turns around. "Anyone else comin' with us?" She laughs for no reason and continues walking.

You reach the temple with no further problems. It's made out of stone, the big statue's there(hello), etc. Right then, Yui Takasuza pops up and meets everyone . He smacks Zoltan on the back. "Hey buddy, how's your killing of the Sailor Senshi coming along??" After that, he turns to the Sailor Team. "Thanks for destroying the hydra for me... See, I knew we could work together just fine." "....Anyway, I don't mean to sound ungrateful or anything- really, I am- but I'm going to take that off your hands now," he says, referring to the blue rock in AK's hand. "You've probably guessed by now that it's proof that you've killed the monster and finished the first trial... It'll grant you access to the next area. And you need all three of them to start the blood engine, you know." He folds his arms across his chest. "Okay, so are you going to be good little Sailor Senshi and give it to me, or is there going to be trouble? "

Ak shrugs and looks at the stone in his hand. "Let me think...Thinkin...Thinkin...UHhh NO!" He barks at Yui.

Sailor Uranus, slides around the edge of the statue, absolutely silent. Yui has his back to her. (She'd gone round the other side of the statue before he showed up.) She climbs swiftly onto the Buddha's knee, and, equally silently, leaps. She grabs Yui neatly by the hair and yanks his head back. Immediately, her sword is at his throat. 'No more games,' she growls at him, 'who are you and what do you want?'

Zoltan grins. "Trouble, I like..." He mumbles, kicking Venus once again. Zoltan turns to Uranus, with a eyebrow raised. His eyes wandered to her sword. "That is the most irrational threat I've ever saw." He mumbles, walking over to Archer Knight. Zoltan grins and grabs onto his hands. "Tell you what, you give me this and I won't blow up everything."

Yui growls at Zoltan. "Hey you prick, get your OWN plan--" he starts to go there, but is held back by Uranus. Yui calms down a little. Then he grins, "People, don't hate me just 'cause I'm smart..." Yui attacks Sailor Uranus without moving his arms or legs. Four blades bust out of his jacket. They're like knives, but without handles. They soar high into the air- turn their points towards Uranus- and then they close-in on you with lightning speed. Uranus, there's a set of blades rushing down at you (and Yui).

Saturn hops to the other side with the kitty in hand next to AK, mumbling "He can't have it" The glimmer of the blades cross her eyes, "URANUS!" She drops kitty o.O and dashes over close enough to Uranus, "Ecstasy!". Is midst of her attack she lunges towards Uranus, hoping that her aim wasn't messed up..

"Well how bout I don't give a damn cuz I can't die." AK flips back and kicks Zoltan in the face at the same time.

Uranus laughs harshly. 'Is that the best you've got?' She swings Yui around with the hand that is gripping his hair, using him as a living shield. The blades shoot at him instead. 'How about if we hate you 'cause you're not?'

Venus screams and gets her head stuck.

Ka Lo keeps laughing until she sees Yui. At that point she could quickly stop. "I was wondering what happened to you." She steps in back of him and Uranus, not even attempting to help anyone. "Maybe you should leave Uranus alone and worry about what you want. In the time being, I wouldn't mind having a battle. You are out numbered." She stares at everyone around her beginning to fight. "Hey! Let's try and get some order! I hate wasting time!" She grits her teeth annoyed.

When Yui sees Saturn coming to help, he mentally trips her. Sailor Saturn falls flat on her face... "Ecstasy" doesn't quite happen ^_^. To Sailor Uranus: Yui, who apparently anticipated your move, uses his powers over gravity to rip you apart from him. He flips out of the way of the oncoming knives effortlessly-- You're slammed against the wall-- the set of knives curve in an arc, and then pin you against the wall by your clothes. You feel trapped. "Don't pull my hair," he suggests, as he pulls a fifth blade from his jacket and sort of flings it at you (he doesn't have to touch it to do this.) It stabs into the wall just above your head and cuts across-- slicing off a few millimeters of your hair.

'A giant key hole?'o.O Elda thought and followed the rest of the gang. She sort of shrunk back into the shadows away from the rest.

Pluto goes back with Elda. "Hey what are you doing?"

Uranus yanks away from the wall, not caring that her clothes rip. 'Stage-magician's tricks. Big whoop.' She smirks in a way carefully designed to be as annoying as possible. 'If you can't do any better than this, I don't know why I even bothered to show up.' She leaps effortlessly to the top of the Buddha statue. 'Come and get me! If you dare...'

Zoltan just rolls his eyes at everything and everyone, and jumps into the air. "Whatever." He mumbles to both Archer Knight and Yui, smirking. The kick didn't seem to really bug him, obviously. Zoltan looks down at Venus and laughs, noticing that she finally got her head stuck in the hole. He starts spinning the Golden Sword around, whistling. Obviously, he didn't care about what happened to anyone of them, since he didn't flinch or move when any got hurt. Zoltan made no moves to heal anyone, either. He yawns, not caring to cover his mouth. Then he flew even further up, trying to get away from the action. *Maybe I could find this thing while they're all busy.* He thinks, trying to find out how to get out of the temple.

Saturn trips and lands on her face, feeling embarressed. She gets up and immediatly goes to Chibi-luna, the kitty she flung on the floor , "Luna you okay??"

Chibi Luna meows. ^.^ even though she's beat-up. "I understand, Sailor Saturn... sometimes there are times when you just have to throw the kitty..."

He looks up at Sailor Uranus, "There's no need for us to fight if you just do what I say-..." He turns back to Archer Knight. "I'll ask you again for the stone of tears," he decides. AK floats upwards several meters, and then Yui hangs him suspended there in the air.

Sailor Aries stood behind apparently not helping at all or caring to help. Who knows why she wasnt she just didnt feel like it. She watchs Yui with strange eyes then looks at AK. "Why dont you just give it to him AK?" she said in a low tone. "Let him have it" she urged glaring at him her eyes dark. She sure didnt sound like herself, act like herself or look like herself. She grinned and played around with a stone she found on the ground, waiting for what he would do.

"Nothing Pluto.. I'm just watching every one..." She narrowed her eyes at Aries. 'What in the worlds does she think she's doing..' Elda thought. *'Ari-chan! Just WHAT are you doing?'* She sent the mental message out to Aries and only her.

Uranus takes advantage of Yui's distraction to leap lightly down. 'Coward. Can't stand it if someone stands up to you.' She atrolls over and leans against the wall behind Yui. Her hands vanish for a second behind her back, then reappear, each holding two of the blades Yui had left sticking in the wall. She throws all four at him, each from a slightly different angle. They make absolutely no sound as the fly through the air. The fifth blade she holds in her left hand, in readiness.

Just as quickly, Yui catches them. "Thanks," he says lightly. "...But there's one more." The fifth blade suddenly spins in your hand, slicing it open. You let go of it, and it returns to Yui. "Throwing knives at me? Tsk tsk. That's not very Sailor Senshi-like. While my back is turned even. I'm proud of you, but I don't think Neo Queen Serenity would be...."

Slowly, Ka Lo walks back next to AK. "Don't give that stone to anyone. I'm going to see if I can get any information on it." She takes a few steps forwards. "Maybe if you go and get the other two stones we might consider handing it over! As of now, no one can have it but AK."

Uranus doesn't even wince as the knife slices her hand open. 'Actually, she taught me everything I know. Should I feel flattered or insulted?' She seems to just now notice the blood streaming down her hand. 'Now look what you've done! Do you know how hard bloodstains are to remove?! This is soooo annoying, right up there with getting my apartment trashed a while back. Times like this, I'm tempted to quit.' She still barely notices the blood, and the cut is knitting with surprising speed.

Venus' head is stuck in the hole. "GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!"

Ka Lo looked over towards where she heard the screaming. She laughed and walked over to Venus, trying to see how to get her out. After more looking she just tugs on her. "How did you get in there?!"

Saturn picks up Chibi-luna and walks over to AK, "Yea Ka Lo is right, you're the only one that should have the gem now" She smacks her forehead when she hears Venus, "oh god" Following Ka Lo, laughing she tugs on one of Venus' free hands.

Veny's head eventually breaks free with a groovy "schmop". She flies backwards, along with Ka Lo and Saturn {grin}. Yui glances over as he's rehiding the blades in his jacket, "Oh, so that's where it goes. What were you doing, cleaning it out?" he asks with a teardrop down his face. He smiles, and for once it's not cocky or malicious. "Heh heh, you guys are weird."... He levitates up to where AK is, still holding him in thrall. He grips AK's wrist mentally, and tightly so you can see the impression on his arm. Yui uncurls his fingers one by one and he takes the rock (whoa). He floats down, and sticks it in the place where Venus was a minute ago. The door opens (yay). Yui grabs the rock, puts it away, and then lowers AK to the ground. Beyond the double doors to the next room, you can only see pitch darkness. I mean pure black....

Uranus slides along the wall until she is standing next to the door, but not visible from the inside. 'I get the feeling there's something there we don't want to meet.' She picks up a rock from the ground. 'Let's see...' She throws the rock hard into the blackness. 'Either it hits something, or it hits the floor, or it falls down a hole. Either way, we'll know something.'

Sailor Aries stared at Elda and shurgged. "What?" she said in a mock innocent tone, a sly grin on her face, she looks over at Yui, seeing what he did to AK. she laughed, not caring. She looked at the double doors curiously and walked towards them. She went through them, like it didnt matter that it was so dark.

'What's going on?' Uranus stares after Aries. 'Something's wrong with her.' She turns to Saturn, knowing she will understand. 'This isn't the way she was acting earlier. And she's-all wrong.' Uranus begins ticking off the points as she names them. 'One-she's not being nice to anyone. Two-she doesn't care about AK at all. Three-she just walked into a place we know nothing about. And four-is it just me, or did all her features seem sharper just now?' She nods slowly, realizing conciously what she has felt all along. 'And that means-it wasn't her just now. It was-' She pauses, waiting for the others to see what she has seen.

Elda stared off at Aries walking into the blackness. She turned to Uranus, nodding. "Something is TOTALLY wrong with her. This is very much UNlike her!" Elda turned back and headed towards the double doors. After Aries.

Zoltan notices the blackness and tries to hold in his laugh; not easily at all. He imagines Nenhenyi skipping right in there happily, and then has to work harder to hold in his laughter. Zoltan points his Golden Sword to the blackness, and descends in front of the open doors. Blinking, he walks in, looking around with the Golden Sword. The Golden Sword kind of glowed, so it would make it easier to see. "This looks like it would be the trial of darkness, I think...Man, Nen would do so good at that..."

Elda took a breath and walked into the darkness, she felt a chill go over her body as she entered through the doors. Only seeing a faint glimmer coming off of Zoltan's sword. "Ari-chan..?! Aries, are you here?" Elda called out in hopes of finding her friend.

Venus rubs her head. "OWWW!!!!!! My head hurts!!!!! Are you guys okay?"

Ka Lo sighs and slowly stands up. "That kind of hurt..." She watches as the door opens up. 'That's going to lead to trouble,' she thought to herself. 'I wonder if my necklace knows it too...' She looks over to Yui to see her necklace is slowly starting to glow. "Better watch out for when the light really comes on!" she shouts to him laughing.

Yui levitates next to Ka Lo. "You like this thing don't you... Mind telling me what it is? :D"

Sailor Uranus stays in her position next to the door. 'Guys, I wouldn't go in there just yet. Whatever else is in there, there are at least two people inside who don't seem to particularly want us to live. On the other hand, out here there's only one. And we can see him.' She remains tense, prepared to spin inside immediately on the first sign of trouble.

Aries looked back, hearing some of the others calling her and following her. "Leave me alone you fools" she growled walking farther into the room, very curious to see what was in there. Her eyes if you could see them were pitch black, this was how she wasn't freaked out by the dark. "Now what is on here?" she wondered raising her hand and and moving it back and forth in front of her, making a dark purple light. It didnt help her see what was in there, but the others could probably see it. "Hum" she didnt seem frightened at all that there might be someone or something in there that might want to hurt her.

Zoltan spins his Golden Sword around, looking straight ahead. He smirks, and looks back. "You're being smart Uranus." Zoltan calls. "I'm very impressed." For a second there, Zoltan's voice was dripping in sarcasism. He continues on. *I wonder where Nen is, anyways? And for pete's sake, Elios, don't get off Illusion!* Zoltan thinks, looking from left to right. If Elios did get off Illusion, and was not a mile away or less than Zoltan, the two would be seriously ingured. It was kind of strange, but they had to deal with it. Zoltan was really on Illusion the whole time when Elios turned into Pegasus and helped Chibiusa and the Sol Senshi.

Saturn rubbed her back, "Venus exactly how much do you weigh??" She saw Aries go into the door, and was stunned by the way she was acting, "ARIES!!! that's dangerous! Please come back!" She dashes into the doors and grabs Aries' arm, "Aries come back it's not safe in here!come back" Then it hit her, she hadn't realized that she actually entered the doors, "eep.."

Venus rubs her hand and stands up. "Oww...SATURN!!! You never ask a girl how much she weighs!!!!"

The light sources don't particularly help. They get swallowed up by the darkness. You head into the room, and, while you can't see anything around you, you can see each other just fine because YOU are glowing. Each person is glowing faintly upon entering the room. And there's nothing inside it, as far as you can tell. You can't tell how big or small the place is-- It doesn't help that after you go in a short distance, you completely lose track of where the doors are... you could go in but you can't really get out. Once you pass a certain point in the room, you begin to see PEOPLE. They are not real people- they're apparitions. Their skin is white and they are transparent. You don't think that they're ghosts, because they don't emanate the same energy as your standard ghost-youma.... These people-like creatures begin to appear on all sides of you until they form a throng, and you feel like you're in the middle of Tokyo's 10th Street District. These people notice you, and they come towards you trying to touch you. However, even when they do so, they move straight through you, and they don't hurt at all. Back outside, Yui sits indian-style in the air, upside-down. He sighs to Sailor Uranus."So you're leaving your friends to get ripped apart or whatever on account of me? How sweet-" He looks at Ka Lo and holds up the pendant on the necklace which is just now starting to react to the weirdness factor. "You going to tell me what this is??"

Elda stood there, frozen, for a moment. TOTALLY creeped out 'til she heard Uranus. "Wha-? Okay.." She turned around only to have someone pass right through her. "Wow..that feels..strange.." She tilted her head at one of the ghosty-youma things. "Hello?" Elda wondered if they were alive - or could hear or understand what she was saying.

If you are still on the outside, then you have no idea what's happening in there 0.0... It just seems as though your friends got swallowed up by the darkness....

'Saturn!!' Uranus almost runs in after her, but stops herself at the door. She pays absolutely no attention to either Yui's or Zoltan's jibes. 'I can't believe it-not again!' She rolls her eyes and calms down. 'These kids never learn...' Suddenly an idea hits her. 'I know! Does anyone have some string or something? Then, one person could go in holding one end, and the others could stay out here, and the people inside could find their way back.' She seems to realize something. She detransforms, and rummages frantically in the pockets of her jacket. 'Come on, I know it's here somewhere...Aha!' She comes up with a medium-sized ball of gray yarn, tightly wound, about 4 inches in diameter. 'I found it, and Pluto had just been complaining about needing more sewing supplies, so I thought she could use it.' She quickly wraps the end three times around her wrist, and ties it on firmly. She then ties the other end tightly to the doorpost, and leaves the yarn ball there. 'I'm going in to get them. If something goes wrong, yank on the string three times.' She walks into the darkness. 'Saturn? Guys? Walk towards my voice. If you bump into a string, follow it, and it'll lead you out.' Uranus continues walking, kinda freaked out by the phantasms.

"ptffh... stupid." Yui mutters as he unties the yarn, picks up the ball, and throws it in after you. "HEY YOU PEOPLE, TELL ME WHEN YOU'RE DONE, ALL RIGHT," He says loudly in a standard jerk-fashion.

Saturn strokes Chibi-Luna's head with her hand, apparently the only way she could feel calm, "Luna what's happening??" She asks in a somewhat frightened and freaked out voice as the 'people' appeared and tried to touch her.

Uranus feels the string go limp and smiles, not a nice smile. *Perfect. Just as planned. Trust a jerk to be a jerk.* She continues looking for her friends among the moving spirits. She sees a glow and heads towards it. She bumps into someone. 'Saturn, is that you?'

Ka Lo looks at Yui upside-down and sighs. "It's nothing really... It kind of has a life of its own, and tries to protect me. That is until I lost it in a battle. Sometimes it can't be that lucky..." She looks where everyone got swallowed by darkness. 'I can't even see them anymore...' she thought nervously.

Uranus grabs Saturn by the hand. 'Saturn, get out of here now.' She leads Saturn's hand to something. 'Keep ahold of this, it'll lead you back to the doors. I'll be out as soon as I can.' She continues, looking for Elda and Aries, strangely at peace. Perhaps because she has the satisfaction of knowing that she handed to Saturn in the darkness not the soft, thick strand of yarn, but a thin, strong, nearly invisible strand of fishline, which she had tied to the doorpost at the same time she attached the yarn, using the yarn only as a blind, to prevent Yui from seeing the real guide, and then dropped in her boot until she was within the doors, only then tying it to her wrist.

Yui is talking about Ka Lo's necklace. "Oh, I could tell that it's linked to you. I'll tell you what... After I capture the terrible machine, if you're still alive, then I'll give it back to you.... It would look better on you, and by that point, things aren't going to matter much anyway." He smiles sadly. ...He looks into the black void beyond the double-doors. "Any time now we might start hearing them yelling-" he thinks, "What are you going to do then, Ka Lo?"

Ka Lo sits down and leans back. "Nothing..." she mumbles. "You would expect me too, but right now there is nothing I can. I don't really belong here anyway. Their leader destroyed my home, friends, and family." She smiles a bitter-sweet smile. "But... I've totally forgiven them." She laughs lightly thinking about it.

To Sailor Elda: When you ask "hello," your voice echoes. The white apparitions everywhere seem to gain solidity for a moment. And you feel like you're in a familiar place. Their faces are familiar. They look like your father, mother, brother, and sisters no less. Others of them look like your friends and court from Eldisa (!)... They're speaking to you, but at first it's hard to make out what they're saying cause they're all speaking at once. At you. They are asking you why you did not protect them at the time when they were all killed. When they all needed you......... You could hear their voices. Some of them grab onto your clothes in an accusatory manner.

Elda turned around. Looking this way and that. "What's going on?! Mama? Bianca...!"Elda walked forward - towards the images. She placed a hand over her mouth. "No.. This.. It's not my fault! IT'S NOT!!! I couldn't..do anything.. I was a child! I could barely..barely...-I wasn't even a senshi.." She begun sobbing. Elda fell to the ground gripping her fists tightly. Her planet was her weakest point..

To Sailor Saturn: You hear a familiar voice. It's a man's voice. You turn to look, and you see your father, Soichi Tomoe there. He is glowing the same way that the other ghosts are.... He's on his knees on the ground, asking you for something. He asks you why you had to go and leave him at such an odd time in your life. You were just a baby when you were taken away, and now you're all grown up, but you still seem to have forgotten about him. He's been sitting alone in the mansion since then, waiting every day for his little girl to come back to him. His memories are shattered, and he doesn't really remember the real you. (It was all because of that Death Busters fiasco, and his experimentation on you.) He always wanted to be like a regular father and daughter with you, but you never came home.

As she sees her father, Saturn pulls away from Uranus without a second more thought. As he got on his knees she had to open her mouth "Father...It can't be you..never. You have to be an illusion or something.." Her voice didn't come out as strong as she would like it to, but still tried to believe what she had said. As he carried on asking why she left him, she couldn't hold it in, and a few tears ran down her cheeks, "Father you aren't there" This time it almost sounded almost like a sob but not quite. Saturn fell to her knees, "why...Why are you tormenting me! You're just something imaginary!" "I hadn't forgotten about you! You forgot about me...you forgot about me...you did..." Her voice faded as she spoke and stared at the glowing image of her father. Saturn reverted into Hotaru again and tears quietly streamed down her cheeks, her eyes hidden from view. She flashed her eyes up put her hand forward stretching her fingers out to touch Soichi Tomoe's face to see if it would go through..

Zoltan blinks, while wandering around. He swats at the things, even though he knows very well that he can't touch them. "Get out of my way..." Zoltan growls, pointing the golden Sword at them. He blinks, and then withdraws it. *Then again, why would they listen?* Zoltan crosses his arms, and lets the Golden Sword float next to him.

Aries looked at these figures, unphased st the sight of them. She realized that some of the others were seeing ones they regonized wand wondered who they might be. She laughed then, not caring. A pang pounded on her heart and kind mans face entered her mind. she tried to shake it out but she couldn't and it almost made her cry.

"It's not real.. it can't..be.." Elda looked up at one of the glowing figures - her mother. "You..you aren't real are you..?" She took a hand and reached out to touch her mother's long(It's like Mistress 9's hair) red hair. She always loved her mothers hair.

To Sailor Ka Lo: Yui seems interested by what you said. He puts himself rightside-up (cause all the blood was rushing to his head) "Strange, I always thought you senshi were one, big, happy-crappy family." He says curiously. "They're always bragging about their truth and justice, and then they go and kill your family, even when you're one of their own- I knew their form of justice was hollow to begin with, but that just makes it even worse. They're such hypocrites." "Rrrr..." he seethes as he clenches his fist tightly. "How could you forgive them for it?! That makes your loved ones' lives worth nothing-- they're not coming back--!!" ...He breaks off suddenly. And relaxes himself. "sorry," he mumbles, looking away. "...ignore me..."

Uranus hears Yui ranting, and laughs quietly to herself. *Still using the 'divide and conquer' technique? They never learn...* Suddenly, she hears Hotaru's crying. She spins around, and sees Hotaru facing a wraith. She runs over and softly puts her hand on Hotaru's shoulder. 'Hotaru-chan? What's wrong?' Her voice is soft and concerned, quite different from her normal one.

Ka Lo sighs and laughs again, more kindly. "I guess I could because it wasn't them, it was Serenity. I'm not exactly sure why she did it. I wasn't on the planet..." she paused remembering where she was. "I was on Earth, which for people from our planet was punishment. I kind of had a criminal record. Stealing, property damage, kidnaps. No one seemed to really be angry until I almost destroyed another planet. I don't remember, nor do I care, which planet it was." She laughed again. "Most of the damage I did was too Princess Serena and her little friends. They excluded me from my group, which is where I got most of my anger. After everything happened I tried to change my ways, but sometimes I do get a little angry, and pushy· And bossy· And cold. Canât change someone completely I guess."

Zoltan gets an idea. He snaps his fingers, and grabs onto the Golden Sword again. "I doubt this'll work, but..." Zoltan stabs his sword forward, blasting a fireball inside of it. "Fireball." He mumbles, yawning. Of course, Zoltan doubted that the fireball would actually hit the things, but he decided to try anyways.

Venus looks around. "HEY!!!! HELLO?! CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!?!" Venus smiles. "Hey..Mars was right. You do scream louder if you get mad!!!"

To Hotaru: Your dad shrinks away from your touch. "It's not that easy, Hotaru," he says. he tries to keep his voice straight with you- in a fatherly manner. "If you really want to stay with me, then everything will change and you'll have to give up being a Sailor Senshi."

Hotaru gasps as her father shrinks from her touch, even though she was pretty sure that he wasn't realy she was expecting that she could feel him. She couldn't believe her ears as she heard her such thoughts spoken flat out to her, and what made it worse. How did he know that she was a Sailor Senshi, after all she didn't once show him atleast she was positive that he didn't know after the whole death buster extravaganza. Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune had taken care of her while her father was getting better so he couldn't have found out then. Why would he even ask that so that he could have more free time with me? It doesn't make sense.. All these thoughts and more just rushed through her head at one time. She holds her head and then looks up at her ghostly 'father', finally mustering enough courage if that's what it was to speak to him, "What do you mean!? How do you know I'm a Sailor Senshi - how could you know. I won't give it up, no matter what, it's my duty, and I can't let a figment of my imagination make me do that or else what kind of a senshi would I be" She looks at him straight in the eye and attempts to keep her voice as straight as he did,"You aren't my real father.. I can't even believe that not for a minute. My father wouldn't make me choose, he wouldn't make me choose between him or being a Sailor Senshi with my friends." She didn't exactly succeed in her attempt but she still meant it, "Show your real self....and stop tormenting me..." She didn't sound meek but then again she didn't sound forceful when she asked.

To Sailor Uranus: This is most obvious to you, since you're right next to Hotaru- but Hotaru is sliding away from you. she doesn't notice this. For the first time you notice a light, far off in the distance. It's twinkling strangely, and it's not a person. Hotaru is getting magnetically pulled in its direction... The enemy is like the Sirens of mythological lore..... It spellbinds its prey, and then seems to suck them in... This is what you are thinking when the wraiths around you start 'acting up' as well. Before you know it, they team up around you and begin yelling at each other. It's a re-enactment of the great battle of the silver millenium. They have swords and they're fighting against each other, although some of them have powers. They appear between you and Hotaru. The noise is deafening.

'Hotaru-chan?! Come back!' Uranus starts to reach out to her, but the shadowy figures intervene. She stops abruptly, and her grown-up expression seems to melt away, leaving a lost, lonely child in its place. Her voice, when she speaks, is barely audible. 'No-not again-you can't-' In her perception, she is back there watching it happen. 'Not again. The nightmares-weren't they enough? Seeing it over and over in my head...' To her, she's watching the battle from far away, seeing every familiar face, just like before. IC:In unison, the figures turn to her, looking at her as if to pierce her with a thousand swords. They speak all together. 'Why? Why didn't you save us?' Before Uranus' eyes, they faces are rotting away into death grimaces. 'You could have saved us. You left us here to die. You left the princess to die.' Uranus falters, her voice lacks conviction. 'I didn't...It was my duty...I swore an oath to the queen...I had to...' The wraiths continue as she trails off. 'You did. You let her die. You let your princess die, and you did nothing. You are no true protector of the princess.' Uranus falls to her knees, tears streaming silently down her cheeks. She looks up at the wraiths, and sees one's face become that of Princess Serenity. 'You left me to die, Uranus. You betrayed me.' Uranus seems to completely lose control at these words. 'No...I swore an oath...I swore...' Her head falls forward on her chest and she is absolutely slent, except for wrenching sobs.

To Sailor Elda: Your mom pushes your hand away. "Now's not the time for that, Tori-chan..." The apparitions hold you down. (Apparently, they can gain tangibility whenever they want to.) They're jealous of you, of your being alive... They asked you what right do you have to remain alive when the rest of them were killed protecting their planet. They decide to kill you so that you can join them. And be one with them again so they can have their princess back. Your mother takes out a sharp dagger and she holds it over you while the others attempt to restrain your arms.

"I tried! I did! But.. But they took me away! They took me away.. They wouldn't let me back!" Elda's eye's widened in true horror as her 'ghostly mother' Retrives a dagger and hovers above her. "No! Mama..You wouldn't..! SHE wouldn't!" Elda shut her eyes tightly. "MY mother.. would never hurt me!..And she Never called me Tori!! Mama! MAMAAA!!" Elda screamed and lashed out at the images.

Tux runs over to Sailor Elda and stands in front of the ghostly mother and says "If your going to hurt her you going to have to go through me!!"

To Sailor Aries: It happens to you too. Five or six apparitions surround you, and they all have His face. The faces are _much_ scarier though. They have glowing eyes and fangs. But its definitely his face. After that they ask you how you could have let him die like that. After all, you watched him die and you didn't do anything to try and stop it. The ghosts try to close in on you with vengeful intentions.

"NO! NO!" Aries shook her head, holding it and crying. "I couldnt do anything! I was little.... I couldnt, she wouldnt let me help you....." she fell to her knees as the faces came in towards her. "Get away from me.... leave me alone....please" she cried standing up and swatting at the ghosts trying to make them go away. "I'll get all of you if you dont I swear!" she screamed touching her star sign on her forehead and letting it glow up. "I'll blast all of you if you dont go!" she wraned getting ready to attack, even though she should realize they werent real.

To Zol-kun: Everything is going to be flattened. It is a version of the silence only a scale much larger than anything you could have imagined.... You know exactly what is going to happen since you had seen it all before at least once, if not many times in your sleep. You have only three more minutes before everything goes ka-boom, and the race on the planet of auta-supe-su toshi is wiped out. But what can you do about it? Everything is happening exactly like it was the first time...

"Oh damn it!" Zoltan says, knowing what's going to happen. "Two seconds from now, Cassiopeia will die...Then the extremely outraged demon-Cetus will try and kill CrystalPluto...He'll say Dark Death Star and everything in this area will explode...NO, the whole universe!" He spins his Golden Sword around, and gets wide eyes. Zoltan actually gets a shiver down his spine, actually nervous for once. This seemed too real... "And all you could do was watch." His own voice stated from behind him. Zoltan snapped around and saw himself, as Tenshi no Chiyu. "All you could do was watch and wait for everything to explode. Then when you tried to revive it, the Constellation Senshi remained dead." "STOP!" Zoltan exclaims, ready to punch Tenshi no Chiyu. Then he calms down, knowing it was only an illusion. "No, you can't fool me." Tenshi no Chiyu smirked. "But your want of blood went up, remember? All the bloodshed, you wanted to drink that blood..." Zoltan went into an instant daze when Tenshi no Chiyu said this. His convinced look turned into a sly, cunning look. He had the slyest grin that you ever saw him with on! "Blood...Yea..."

To Sailor Ka Lo: Yui flatly ignores Venus and listens to your entire story. "What--?!" he busts out after you're done. "So why did you join them?!" he demands. "That doesn't make any sense! They punished you, sent you to earth, and on top of that destroyed your planet. And what did you do-- you joined their ranks and 'changed your ways'? Fool, that means they won! They beat you into submission! Don't you realize that?" He pushes you. "You're denying the choices you willingly made in the past- You're denying who you are! You've become a copy of one of them, molded into the exact shape they wanted you to be in!! Ugh, it's sickening."

ăWhoa!ä Ka Lo falls over when Yui pushed her. She stands up angry. ăI guess youâre right,ä she said calmly. Right in front of him she continues. ăI have been searching for a special power. One that can bring my family and everyone, my planet, back!ä Now her voice was becoming louder. ăDo you actually think I want to hang with these castoffs? The only reason I do is because I know that some day they will fight in a battle involving this energy. I want it and I will do whatever it takes to get it! What do you think that necklace is for?! It is a tracking necklace and will soon lead me to that power! I have been set so far back from losing it in that battle. It also has to stay in one piece! If you break that Iâll die. It is my life! My power, everything sustaining me from going on with my family to death. Thatâs why it is so important and why it tries to protect me. To protect itself.ä

Venus stands up. "EXCUSE ME!!!!!! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON?????????"

To Sailor Pluto: The longer you stay in here, the more unsettled you become. The wraiths around you also begin to assume the faces of people you once knew... People from ages long past- centuries and centuries ago. You had made friends with them, and you remember them, but they had grown old and died from old age, while you remained immortal. You feel as though your spirit may be crushed from the memories of your long history of abandoning people.

Pluto starts to see many people that she once knew and they all seem to be saying to her "You left us Setsuna...You leave everyone.." "No,no,I never ment to leave any of you!I'm sorry.."Sailor Pluto starts crying hysterically when she sees the one person who she loves dearly."Chibi-Usa??!!"Pluto says. "Yes,you left me Puu-chan you left me..." "No, I would never leave you!!You are like a daughter to me!"Pluto starts to see that everything is like an illusion. "You aren't real!You aren't so leave me alone!!"

Surrounded by the specters, Uranus can't hear anything but the accusations ringing in her ears. She has long since stopped protesting, the small rebellious spirit within her crushed by the feeling welling up that the voices are right. She puts her head in her hands and sobs, partly in sorrow for what she had not done, partly in remembered grief.

Ka Lo stood nervous. 'I just told him everything about my life, and the reason why I'm really here. What if now he won't give my necklace back... Or worst, DESTROYS IT!!!' She took a step back and looked at the ground. 'I'm dead...'

To Sailor Venus: Nobody responds to your yelling. You're about to get real depressed by this until you see Chibi-Luna come out of the double doors, with the thread in her mouth. "Venus!" she squeaks. She immediately jumps up into your arms. "Do something!-- They're all in there acting all psycho and I can't do anything about it..." She curls up into a little fuzzball next to your clothes. To Sailor Uranus: Your body is broken by terrible sobs. A light flashes but you don't really care. You feel a presence next to you, but once again it doesn't matter to you. You feel yourself sinking. Next thing you know, you're up to your legs in some liquid. Like everything else, the liquid is glowing in an evil sort of way^_^. It's pulling you down, like quicksand. The apparitions are still there, but fainter now.

Uranus only dimly notices herself sinking, she is lost in an ocean of memory. She hears a little girl's voice, 'Anyone I ever trusted sent me away.' The voices of the specters whisper, 'That's right, they all sent you away. Sailor Moon will send you away, too, just like all the others did.' She manages to gasp, 'No. She won't. They won't.' Somehow, she calls up a nice memory. Just a few words. 'Keep the star in your heart shining strong.' The voices seem to resist the idea fearfully. 'Lies! She's been lying to everyone, filling you with silly thoughts and dreams that will never come true!' Uranus smiles slightly. Another voice of memory appears, a kind, loving voice. 'Show a speck of fear or a drop of tear, and the darkness will grow stronger, overwhelming the light.' The voices laugh harshly. 'Who cares? We're not the dark, we're the truth you know inside. Your so-called friends don't care about you. They'll leave you to die soon, just like you did to them.' Uranus seems to wake up from a nightmare, the sounds of the others fighting jolting her back to herself. 'NO! You're not real! My friends need me now!' She starts to sort of swim towards the edge of the liquid. 'I won't listen to any more lies!'



To Sailor Saturn: Soichi Tomoe insists that he is the real him. However, his actions start to completely contradict this- he leans over and holds down your arms and legs. You feel yourself kind of sinking into a puddle. "You have to give up being a Sailor Senshi! I won't let anybody take you away anymore," he continues to speak to you while trying to push you into the puddle. You look over and notice Sailor Uranus, who is in the same area. In fact, you're withing speaking distance of each other. Uranus is in a similar position as you're in, but you're being held down by your father^_^

Hotaru screams as her 'father' pins down her arms and legs, "GET OFF OF ME YOU STUPID ILLUSION!!!!!" Her back starts to sink in the puddle as Uranus comes into her vision, "Uranus get out of that stuff quickl-" Soichi Tomoe cuts her off, "Forget about her, forget about being a Sailor Senshi! Come back to your poor father" As he magnifies his force on her, Hotaru yells, "YOU AREN'T MY FATHER! YOU ARE JUST TAKING FORM OF MY FATHER! NOW LET ME GO!!!!!"

To Sailor Aries: The fanged wraiths back up, stunned by your brave response... For once, everything seems okay. But then they all jump on you at once. They grab hold of your torso and arms, trying to prevent you from attacking. Their words are like weird mumbles as they repeat their accusations. To Elda: You tear away at the demons' faces. And they come off. You're left facing what is more like the apparitions' true form-- they are half human and half tentacle. The tentacles shoot out and wrap around your arms and waist. You have a great deal of trouble moving as the tentacles are obscenely tight. Out from the darkness emerges a giant mouth (that's what it is, but it looks like just a great big void of fangs.) It's only a couple feet away, and the tendrils are pulling you into it. One of the tentacles leans down to you and speaks in your mother's voice, calling you a disobedient girl. To Tuxedo Mask: You're standing right next to Sailor Elda. You see her getting pulled towards a horrific monster's mouth. Some of its tentacles are coming towards you too.

Uggg! "Hey!,get your ugly dreadlocks off me!!!" Tux looks at Elda as she gets closer to the monsters mouth. NO!!!! Tux screams as a blast of fire comes out of the tangled mess.

Pluto: ChibiUsa sticks her tongue out at you. "Real convincing Puu-chan..." she says to you angrily. "You know that you're just going to leave me too, after I grow up..." "Why do you even start relationships with people in the first place??... Why don't you just give up, and quit hurting people...?"

"You are NOT Chibi-Usa!You aren't!"Pluto screams at the top of her lungs,"she would NEVER NEVER ever talk to me like that!We are best friends!Leave me alone you demon!" Pluto start to hit the fake Chibi-Usa with her time staff she thinks to herself * I don't even know why I start relationships everyone always passes on and I'm left by myself again and again...*

To Zoltan: The Constellation Senshi show up around you, in apparition form. They are already dead of course... and about to die a second time. The senshi let you know that you're contradicting yourself- wanting blood but not their deaths. They come up to you, bleeding, and ask you to drink their blood if you really want it. (whoa) o.O

Zoltan loved seeing blood and guts, and he was acting a little insane at the time, so he grins. He watches them, entertained by all of this. Zoltan spots Kaycie, also known as SailorLyra. Now Zoltan didn't really care about Kaycie, the flirty one of the group, so he laughs evily. "Oh, so can I take your blood, Kowaku Kaycie?" Tenshi no Chiyu sits in the air, with his arms crossed. "Is that what you want, Zoltan?" He asks, laughing. Tenshi no Chiyu brushes some of his hair out of his face. SailorLyra just looks at Zoltan, blankly. "If you want it, take it." She smiles, flirtiously as always. It seemed right then, Zoltan managed to get back to his senses. He hated that senshi's irriating smile! "NO!" Zoltan protests, and turns in all directions. "You're all illusions anyways! I can't suck illusions' blood! Although, this bloody stuff is very entertaining." His eyes fell on SailorCetus, and by this point he knew they were illusions of some sort. "Nenhenyi doesn't even have this much blood..." Zoltan grumbles, as he stares at Nenhenyi's silver blood. "...He doesn't even need it...GO AWAY YOU STUPID ILLUSIONS!" With that, Zoltan jumps in the air and points the Golden Sword down at them. "You can't fool me...I'm not stupid...Even the dumbest person in the universe would know this!" He closes his eyes, trying to fight off the urge to go suck their blood.

To Ka Lo: Yui watches you as you tell him everything, and then seemingly want to take it back. "Hm, you're much more interesting than at first glance, Ka Lo," he decides. He smiles at you in a weird way, and you have no idea what on earth it could mean until he says this- "The power to bring back your family... your driving goal... your life. All of this housed in a tiny little necklace. You understand that this changes everything, don't you... I'm still willing to give it back to you, but naturally I can't just give up something so priceless to you without getting something in return." His hands go to the necklace he's wearing, pulling the pendant out of his shirt. He holds the pendant up in front of you. "...What would I get out of it?? I'll give it you right now- But first tell me what you could give me back for it."

Kyo gets up and out of Yui's thrall. He casts Yui an evil glare and races over to Aries. He pulls out his bow and arrows. "SOUL SHATTER!!!" He yells as he sends 5 arrows aiming for the monsters holding his Kiki.

"There's nothing I can give you!" Ka Lo shouts angry. She watches Chibi-Luna come out but ignores her. She turns back to Yui angry. "I really don't have anything to sacrifice to anyone. Everything I have I need to finish my task. Besides, I don't need that stupid necklace anyway. There is still one person alive from my planet that can help me. One of my good friends actually. She has a necklace just like it, not as powerful, but it still does the same thing. I just want to know it isn't broken." ÎAnd a way to find her and beg for forgiveness,â she finishes in her head.

'Hotaru-chan!' Uranus drives her sword into the ground at the edge of the liquid, and pulls herself onto dry land. As she stands up, searching for Hotaru, she can see all the little fights, like spotlighted points on a pitch-black stage. She finds Hotaru and runs across to her, attempting to grab the wraith by the shoulder, to get him off Hotaru.

"You've been a naughty girl, Tori-chan.." Her mother's voice hissed at her. "Now you're going to get you're punishment! I wouldn't be a very good mother if I didn't punish you, now would I.." She begun cackling. She said this more as a statement than a question. "You're.. not my MOTHER! Stop it!" Elda yelled, dried tears on her face. "UUNGH!! KA LO-CHAAAN!!" She screamed as the vines wrapped around her tighter. The huge mouth of teeth was closing in on her. 'Tuxedo..Kamen..?!!' She opened her eyes when she heard him. Elda winced at the fire. "Help me!"

Ka Lo was about to say more when she heard Elda shout. "Elda?" she mumbled and turned around to stared into the darkness. 'Should I leave without my necklace?' she asked herself. 'I should help her, if she's in trouble.' She thinks about it more while waiting to hear Yui's reply. Finally she decided not to go running in because if something was going on, they would probably need somebody not hurt and alive. "Sorry Elda..." she whispered.

To Hotaru, Uranus, Elda, and Tuxedo Mask - Sailor Uranus pushes over the demon who is on Hotaru. It falls into the puddle with a howl, and disappears a short time later. Tuxedo Mask's attack burns the front of the monster. It makes a little noise, and then disappears quickly. It releases Elda and dumps her on the ground. Where did it go? SUDDENLY, the enormous set of jaws appears before you(all four of you- that's how big it is). You're up to your ankles in some liquid. It's not water- it's just some weird ooze. The ooze is getting sucked up by the monster. You are drawn towards it as well. It's still trying to eat you, and this time, it's pulling in on you and the liquid like a vacuum, or like you're sliding downhill. Note: You can still only barely see the monster.^_^

Uranus falls over when the ooze starts movng, and does two things simultaneously. First, she stabs her sword almost to its hilt in the ground, and hangs on to it. Next, she grabs Hotaru by the hand, holding them both in one place. 'You guys! Hang on to something!' she calls.

Aries & AK - Archer Knight's arrows pierce through the wraiths around Aries. They burst up into flame. To your dismay, you find that there's always more of them! About a dozen apparitions appear and surround Sailor Aries and AK. This time they have really big claws. Two of them come rushing at AK, and one of them at Sailor Aries, with the intent to separate your heads from your shoulders @_@! Pluto - Sailor Pluto bashes ChibiUsa on the head with her time-staff(LOL). ChibiUsa bursts into tears, and then disappears. The phantom returns into its true form- a mass of tentacles- and then shrinks away from you.

"Phew," Pluto says. Then she notices the situation with the monster,and the four senshi "Hold on I'm coming!" she yells

Zoltan - The phantoms begin to disappear and you find yourself in a metal cage. It formed around you sometime while you were preoccupied with them. The cage gradually shrinks, until it becomes the same size as you! You feel a liquid at your feet. The cage is sinking -or being pulled- into the liquid! You hit your head against the top of it as it tries to pull you down with it.

Zoltan sighs. *It's been worse than this before...Besides, if anything, you're immortal and can't die like this.* He thinks of what would happen if something did push him towards the point of death. Zoltan would be shaking his head if he could. *Stupid cage. Now think, the only chance out of here is possibly burning the cage. Every other attack of mine would blow up this whole area. Well, wouldn't that burn me? No...I'm already a billion degrees or something around there. There's only one thing I can do...Unless...No, I better not do that.* Zoltan resorted to his favorite attack, Fireball. The difference was, he made it come out of his jewel since his hands couldn't move. He never shouted out the attack, though, since he didn't need to.

Ka Lo - Yui shivers when Archer Knight runs past with an ice-cold glare at him. You shout at Yui. He backs up as if overwhelmed. "Hey- I didn't mean for you to get angry. I just wanted to keep talking with you, but I guess I'm actually being sort of mean. Sorry." He looks at the ground, still holding on to the necklace. "I'm really just looking for any advantage I could find so that I won't have to die when we start fighting... right now, this is all I've got." He sees the look of apprehension on your face and sighs- "If you want to go and help the other Sailor Senshi, you'd better go."

"That necklace won't help you," Ka Lo said, calm now. "I'm the only one who knows how to use it, and who it will..." She shrugs. "You know, it just obeys. Right now I'm really not in the fighting mood, that's why I'm kind of cranky. Besides, how many people do they have in there? Over enough. I almost didn't show up at all."

Uranus also hears Pluto, and calls out to her. 'Don't come to close! Watch out for the ooze!' She slooowly levers herslef up, unitl she's leaning on the hilt of her sword. She keeps holding Hotaru with one hand, and with the other, reaches out to Elda. 'Elda! Grab my hand!'

"Ok,I won't!" Pluto yells to Sailor Uranus *Ok*she thinks to herself *I am going to try this and I hope it works* "Garnet Ball!" she screams while taking it out of the time staff,"Bring the sailor senshi over here and work for once!" *please work,please work* she thinks to herself

Hotaru is shocked and a little disoriented by everything that just happened. "Saturn Planet Evolution!" Hotaru transformed into Saturn and uses her glaive to try and keep her up, letting go of Uranus' hand, "Pluto, listen to Uranus don't get caught in here!" She starts to try and push herself up with the glaive but it slips and falls right into the ooze o.O, "ugh.."

"Thanks.. Tux-boy!" Elda said as she fell down and landed on her back in the ooze - half of her body sinks into it. She sees Uranus and reaches out for her hand, coming within inches of it but not getting ahold of it. "I can't..reach you, Uranus-kun!" Elda tries to grab the ooze and pull herself out.

Ugh..No..Problem..and by the way,don't call me Tux-boy haha.

She grits her teeth, trying to reach just a little farther. 'Don't call me that. I happen to be a girl, and if you call me anything-kun I will take it as a personal insult,' she growls. She spins around, so that she is dangling from the hilt of her sword by one hand. She grabs Elda's hand, and pulls herself back up.

Venus looks around. "Where Chibi-Luna? Who's acting like psychos?" Venus pats Chibi-Luna lightly.

Ka Lo turns around again and runs over to Chibi-Luna and Venus; not giving much time for Yui to reply. He can still shout... "Let's not waste anymore time," she says and runs into the darkness.

Saturn starts sinking and her glaive falls out of her hand and goes into the ooze , "Uranus-chan!!" *maybe there's a bottom to this ooze" Without thinking anymore she puts her hand down, but no avail and it begins sinking even more, "stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid..." She mumbles wanting to smack herself.

Uranus grabs the haft of Saturn's glaive. 'I TOLD you to hang on to me, but noooo...Kids these days think they know everything...' she grumbles. She hauls Saturn back towards her, then flips the glaive upside down and sticks the sharp blades in the ground at the edge. 'Hang onto that, before the two of you rip me apart.'

Sailor Pluto screams "Garnet Ball!" and a red light shining from the Garnet Orb fills the area. A shield appears over her, and Sailor Elda, Uranus, Saturn, and Tuxedo Mask. The flow of ooze stops in its tracks. You no longer feel the pall of imminent doom. Uranus finds that she could let go of Elda & Saturn now. The enemy attempts to attack the group behind the shield, but quickly finds its efforts to no avail. Then, right before your eyes, the enemy poly-morphs. It morphs into the shape of a woman. She has long, flowing blonde hair, and looks very stately, but you don't recognize her. "You seem to have escaped the visions, intruders-" she shouts loud enough so she can be heard. At this time, the place lights up a little(!) or rather, it changes its shape so that now it appears as though you are outside back in the ruins of Carpathia. You aren't, it just looks that way. You could tell its not because the ruins are translucent like the beasties were.^_^ The weird liquid turns into solid ground beneath your feet... She continues. "I tried to give you pain that was equal to my own, but you've eluded me. If you want the rock as proof of your completing the trial, I have it right here-" and she holds up a white rock that it similar in appearance and aura to the blue one you had. Yeah, it's right there. "-But in order to get it, you'll have to rekill the wandering souls of my citizens and army." The apparitions show up again. They are decked out in ancient battle armor..... [hmmmmm].. They growl and begin coming for you. Keep in mind that these aren't zombies- they're souls and they have no problem floating around. "Attack! Attack!" To Sailor Uranus: One of the dudes comes up to you and starts to do it two-handed (by that I mean he has two swords). He swings at you. To Pluto and Saturn: A wraith on an equally undead horse is racing in your direction, with iss sword drawn. As it passes by you, it attempts to slice your head off (both of y'all) To Sailor Elda: Strangely you don't seem to be getting attacked... You turn aside and discover that one of the archer-apparitions is locked on you with his arrow. ...The queen or whoever is standing on a hill with the rock in her hand. The soldiers are swarming around the base of the hill. To Zoltan: You Fireball through the ceiling. The cage busts up like it's made out of wood. The remaining parts burn away into ash. But since the ooze turned into solid ground, you're now half stuck in the ground. *teardrop* To Sailor Venus: Chibi-Luna sighs and wags her tail. "If I explained everything to you, then you would just forget. It would be best if you just go in there, and shoot at the first enemy you see..." Ka Lo leaves the room suddenly. All of a sudden the double doors start to close. Chibi-Luna starts bashing Sailor Venus- "Go, Venus! Go go!" Yui freaks out when he sees the doors closing, and he panics wondering what to do. He looks at Sailor Venus (probably wondering if he could prop the door open with her o.O;;)

Uranus ducks under the slicing swords. She balances on her hands, and swings her legs around to knock the thing over. She yanks her sword out of the ground, and leaps lightly to her feet, poised to attack or run away in any direction.

Saturn starts to thank Uranus but stopped when the women appeared. "WHA!?" Saturn ducks and grabs Pluto's hand to bring her with her, "DUCK DOWN!" *She said we have to kill it? she get's what she wants* While crouching she twirls her glaive above her head, "SILENCE GLAIVE SURPRISE!" Pink ribbons emerge from the glaive and aim towards the Wraith and the horse.

"Woah that was close!" Pluto says "Dead Scream!" she yells.

Elda narrowed her eyes at the girl and glared at her. She turned and saw an arrow with her name on it. "ARGH! This is so NOT my day!" She screamed angrily. "Why can't we just GET that stupid thing and get this OVER with?! Why do we have to go through all of this!" Elda took her staff infront of her and walked forward -- towards that girl on the hillside while glowing eeriely. She didn't care an more if she was hurt or killed by that guy with the bow and arrow. She just wanted to get this whole thing over with. "Black Rhapsody!" She screamed her attack at the girl and the soldiers around her.

Zoltan punches himself lightly in the head. "I should of known that would happen." He mumbles, sighing. Zoltan looks over at the Golden Sword, realizing he still had it in his right hand and that it wasn't stuck. He grins, and starts to cut himself out of the solid rock that used to be ooze. About a minute later, he was out of the rock and brushing himself off. "Great...Now what?"

"Rrrrr!!!" You notice one of the demon knights floating not far away from you. He rears back and then swiftly throws his sword at you, spinning like a boomerang. The sword is big enough to theoretically cut you in two. Note: It IS a boomerang, so you better watch out for the rebound.

Venus bites her lip. "Okay.." She runs in there. She shoots the first thing she sees. "Venus Love Chain Encircle!"

Ka Lo turns around panic when she sees the doors closing. "Don't close!" she shouts. She tries to keep them open, but is soon found just watching them close. "Venus!" She watches her run by. 'Okay, I don't want to be in here anymore...' she thinks to herself. 'I wonder what Yui doing now...'

AK ducks and rolls to the ground, while rolling he kicks the one trying to get Kiki and pulls out his bow and arrows. He pulls 3 arrows from his quiver. "SOUL SHATTER!!!!!!!!!" He yells as he sends his arrows flying in a great show of lights.

Uranus whips around when she hears Zoltan's fireball exploding. He seems to have the situation under control, so she turns back to the wraith attacking her. 'World SHAKING!' She aims her attack at its midsection.

Ka Lo turns around confused. "I don't want to be in here..." she mumbled. 'How do get out once you're in anyway?'

Zoltan looks down. His eyes get as wide as goofballs. "BLAH!" Zoltan throws himself into the air, with a nervous sweatdrop besides his head. Breathing hard, he starts to turn his head in every direction. "Great...I think it's gone..." He whispers, relieved. Zoltan sits in the air for a minute, and then gets wide eyes once again. "Wait a minute, that's a boomerang!" He jumps higher into the air, and blasts a fireball at the boomerang.

"VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!!" Venus yells without wasting any time- and she hits the apparition that was about to start to prepare to attack her. She pegs him right in the forehead. The poor guy didn't even have a chance. His incorporeal body disintegrates upon the thin air. Chibi-Luna(on her shoulder) smiles at her . "I knew you could do it, Sailor Venus " To Sailor Ka Lo - Yui made it in through the door^_^. The doors shut permanently. Yui doesn't really understand what's happening- he's just looking around at all the chaos (much like you were last time^_^).... One of the undead-on-horseback takes notice of you. You see him racing towards you and he has a scimitar in each hand. He nearly reaches, and he tries to run you over, but it seems as though you have a choice between getting run over, getting sliced on the left side or getting sliced on the right side. To Sailor Uranus - You pop a World Shaking right into the guy who's harrassing you. As it is subjected to the force of an earthquake, the ghost rattles around inside its armour, and then dissipates, finally turning into a great big pile of nothing. Haha, sucker. Sadly, you can't celebrate for too long since an instant later, swords start poking up out of the ground! A team of new spectral soldiers are coming out of the ground. That wouldn't be so bad if they didn't try to keep coming out wherever you are standing. Archer Knight - A hearty helping of "Soul Shatter!!" is heading right at the apparitions in front of you and Kiks. You're too fast for them. You hit them and they turn into colorful flame. Zoltan - You aim your Fireball down at the spinning sword. It cracks in half. And is no longer. But the undead fellow is still coming after you, and by this time, him and all his undead buddies have surrounded you. (they can fly too. They're ghosts, remember?) Each of them nock a bow-and-arrow in your direction. It seems as though Zoltan is about to turn into a little sea-urchin of arrows. Saturn and Pluto: - "Silence Glaive Surprise-" The hushed swing of the Silence Glaive signifies death to all who oppose you. The undead on horseback kind of melts in the explosion. But you also destroy a lot more than that. Sailor Pluto's "DEAD SCREAM" goes off at the same time as your attack and (I don't know what happens when you combine two ultimate attacks but) it certainly can't be good, as you discover when you guys end up obliterating just about the entire battlefield. When you open your eyes again after the brightness of the attack dies down, there is absolutely no one around Pluto and Saturn. The remaining apparitions apparently deduce that it's not such a good idea to attack you any more. They kind of mill around, far away from Pluto and Saturn, not knowing what to do.^_^ "Black Rhapsody!" Elda screams. The queen sees your attack coming just in time. All she could do to defend herself is to blast back towards you. "White Thunder!!" The woman yells as a blast of bright yellow energy, like the sun goes hurtling at Black Rhapsody. They meet in the middle and there's an awesome explosion. The queen is thrown back from it and she completely falls off the hill. The soldiers around her get creamed(sorry I can't think of a better word). The queen is on the ground, trying to recover herself. "curse you..." she mutters. All of this happens right before Sailor Elda is poked through the back with an arrow.

Ka Lo gasp and frets deciding what to do; finally she just jumps to the side getting hit on her left arm. Before it can completely go past she swipes out her sword and flings it around trying to slice at the horse.

'Yipes!' Uranus jumps about three feet in the air as the first sword blades poke her feet. 'Not good, seriously not good.' She flips backwards away from the apparitions, and aims directly at the patch of ground they are coming from. 'World SHAKING!' The attack dives straight down under the earth, to destroy the wraiths coming up. She sees Elda get struck by the arrow, and calls out to Saturn, 'Go take care of Elda! Quick! And Pluto, could you help me out here?'

Elda looked on at the horrific event of happenings. "This is awesome! We got--" Elda froze in midsentance as a sharp arrow pierced her back, digging into her skin. "..Figures..." She reached back - gritting her teet - grabbed the arrow and ripped it out of her back and threw it on the ground. A small dark red trickle of blood ran down her back. "Heh... At least.. We got 'em, guys.." She sunk to her knees and dug her fists into the ground. Her eyes covered in the shadows of her bangs.

Saturn was a little sore from the blast but bolted up in a second when she saw the arrow pierce Elda, "ELDA!!!!" She dashed to Elda and looked at the blood running down her back, "Elda...you'll be okay...just don't do anything or move atall, you here me?" Saturn closes her eyes and puts Elda on her stomache gently, "I hope this works..but first I think I'll have to get the arrow out first..but how......" She takes a deep breath, "This mighthurt a little..." She rests her hands on the body of the arrow, and her symbol starts to glow, "Saturn Evolution...Rebirth!"

Zoltan ducks down, moving everywhere he could to get out of the arrows' way. "Not again." He whispers, flying back down on the ground. "I've gotta' something other then Fireball...But Crystal Field is way too risky...Hmm...No, not that attack..." Zoltan stands on the ground, scratching his head in confusion.

Uranus leaves the apparitions to deal with the earth around them breaking up, and sizes up the battlefield. She sees the crowd around Zoltan. 'Uranus Sword Blaster!' She aims one beam at the ghosts on the left, one at those on the right, and the last at those coming from below.

Pluto runs next to Saturn and Elda "Please make her be ok Hotaru-chan."She says *Oh Tori-chan why....I know Hotaru will make it alright*

Pluto runs over to Uranus "Need some help?"she asks

'I'm not sure,' she says.'I might. There are lots of these things!'

"YES! Those things were way creepy love...." Aries almost fell on AK out of just mental exhaustion. "Thank you...." she closed her eyes and almost passed out. "I don't feel so well....." she muttered leaning on AK for support.

Zoltan's eyebrow twitched. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! I CAN HANDLE THIS MYSELF THANK YOU." He glares at Uranus, his eyes flaring in anger. It wasn't a very good idea to get Zoltan angry. Firey rose red energy started to fly around Zoltan, as his eyebrow starts to twitch even more. He started grumbling somethings in his language again. Obviously, it was a pretty dirty swear. "CRYSTAL...FIELD!!!" Zoltan didn't care how risky the crystal rain was, he just went on with it.

Venus smiles. "Thanks Chibi-Luna!

A "World Shaking!" into the floor heads underground to play with the minds of those ghouls that were who had set their sights on Sailor Uranus. The ground caves in, gets all torn up, and then you never see them again. The aliens surrounding Zoltan a "Uranus Sword Blaster!" as well as "CRYSTAL...FIELD!!!" to contend with. Some of the apparitions fly away from the former, in order to prevent getting bisected. The remaining ones are stuck in a crystal shower. It doesn't destroy them on contact- instead, the ones who are affected by it are sent. ... The wandering souls aren't so wandering anymore^_- (um, yea) Sailor Saturn attempts her healing powers. A white aura surrounds Sailor Elda. The remainder of the arrow comes out of her back- but the wound doesn't close up immediately. It's just too big. Sailor Elda regains enough strength to open her eyes and function normally with some effort. Sailor Ka Lo takes a slice at the horse-man as he passes her by- unfortunately, the apparition is an expert swordsman as well and he just deflects her strike. The horseman begins to disappear. In fact all of the apparitions start to fade slowly. The queen gets up. She walks towards Sailor Pluto. "You have proven yourselves worthy," she tells Pluto. "I wasn't able to stop you, so please, move on to the next challenge." She places the white rock gently on the ground, just before she begins disappearing herself. "My one request is that you remember the pain of Carpathia and its warriors... When you encounter the blood engine, destroy it immediately." As soon as she's said this, she's gone unto the thin air. ....The otherworldly darkness in the room breaks up. For the first time you can see that you're in a regular room. It's more like a simple cave, hollowed out in the rock. On one side are the doors through which you came, on the other side, are the doors leading somewhere else. These doors are open.

Saturn falls to her knees, tired from using her energy to feel Elda, she was still discontent though for it wasn't healed all the way, "Elda? Are you feeling a little better?? Please answer"

Ka Lo swings back her sword to find nothing there. Slowly she stands up looking around confused and walks over to everyone else. "Everyone okay?" she asks kindly, holding her arm. 'That hurt...' Ka Lo thought in her head.

'Good grief!' Uranus is more than a little nonplussed at Zoltan's weirdness. 'What was that for? I was bored.' She goes back over to the first doors, to see if they will open. They won't. 'Oh, well. So much for that. Onward and outward we go.' She slices through the fishline still on her wrist, and holds it in her hand. She walks up to the open doors, and steps tentatively into the unknown...

Elda grunted. "Yeah.. I'm alright." Suddenly her eyes shot open and she bolted upright with a hand over her mouth. "AUUUUGH!" She vomitted. Mixed with a little blood.. "Although, heh, I could be better.." She said as she wiped her mouth. "Thanks.. Saturn." Elda stood up - a bit weakly. She had gotten up just in time to watch the woman disappear. She looked down at the white rock on the ground. "We got it!" Elda quickly walked over to it and snatched it up.

*Wow that was weird*Pluto thought to herself She goes over to Sailor Elda "Thank God your alright Tori-chan,"she says,"now lets move on."

Ka Lo followed over and just stared at the rock. Quickly she looked around for Yui. 'He's gonna want that,' she thought annoyed. "Poor Elda," she teased. "What do we do with the stone now?"

Uranus calls back to them, 'Don't give it to him, duh!' She keeps her back to the doors she came through, surveying her surroundings.

Venus walks back into the room with CHibi-Luna on her shoulder.

Saturn was glad to see Elda up, even though she was still wounded, "Well atleast you can move...I'll try again if I can when I get enough energy back okay Elda? Until that you're gonna have to live" She gets up slowly and glances at the door they came in then quickly to the next door, "hmm" She starts to walk towards the door, "I would think the stone would open this door but they are already open..." She mumbles as she hears Ka Lo's question.

You see Yui levitating over Sailor Elda's head. "Hey Elda, sorry about that scratch there, but that's what being a Sailor Senshi's all about right?? Takin' the hits for other people." "By the way, I'll take that rock from you later, ok?"

Zoltan growls. "I'm not here to fight along side you..." He hisses, following Uranus. "We're mortal enemies, I don't want to go though the story." Zoltan continued to hiss at Uranus. After that he stopped talking all together, and looks around, holding the Golden Sword. "What's going on here...?"

'I would never take a hit for one of them,' Ka Lo thought in her head. 'Except for Elda.' She watched Yui up above them. 'I want to learn to float!' she thought, totally forgetting about what else was going on. "That would be so cool!" she said outloud and started laughing.

Uranus blinks, Zoltan's answer took her completely by surprise. 'That's odd, inasmuch as I've never seen you before. I didn't know people could become my enemies without ever meeting me. Anyway, can we be mortal enemies later? Like, some time we're not being perpetually attacked? This is annoying enough.'

AK detransforms and Kyo falls on the floor heaving. "I love you..." And Kyo passes out.

Zoltan smirks. "It has to do with the past of both our senshi kind. We never got along and thus, it effects the future generations. Actually, come to think about it, I am part of that certain generation." He says, looking over at Uranus. If his smirk wasn't sly in the first place, it was now! Zoltan points the Golden Sword at her. "I'm just using you guys. I've got the power to destroy you all within a second though, so I don't see how you guys fight so hard and get so little accomplished at once!" He laughs and shakes his head, withdrawing the sword from it's postion. "So the answer is no. You're lucky I'm not my friend Nenhenyi...He would have attempted to chop your heads off many times by now." With that, he walks ahead of her. Zoltan knew she didn't know what "past" he was talking about, but that made it all even better!

Uranus raises one eyebrow at Zoltan. 'Interesting...Sounds like that whole thing in the Middle East.'My family hates your family, so I have to hate you!' Quite stupid really. So, let me get this straight: You hate me because of something that happened thousands of years ago, in which I had no part or say? I'm sure there's logic there somewhere, I must just be missing it.' She idly scuffs her feet on the floor, wondering what Zoltan will find.(And happy not to be the one finding it!)

Saturn instead of going to the door walksl towards Elda, and slings her(Elda's) arm over her neck, "here, you still have to live but who said you had to walk alone? and don't say you don't need help, I don't want anything at all happening to you okay?" She didn't exactly say that in a strict way but just a friendly let loose kind of way. She felt sorry that Elda still had that wound in her back and was really ticked when Yui said, "Elda, sorry about that scratch there, but that's what being a Sailor Senshi's all about right?? Takin' the hits for other people." but instead of saying soemthing she decided to keep her mouth shut, and ignore that. "So Yui, basically you aren't gonna do any work this whole time and just talk about things that aren't true?" By the time she realized what she said she had finished, *why did I say that?*

*Oh Hotaru..*Sailor Pluto thinks*Why did you have to go and say that..* "So Yui...ummm..what is your dream?"Pluto says to change the subject just incase Yui gets angry about what Saturn said,"My dream is to become a famous Fashion Designer,I love to sew..but my dream will never come true..." *why to I have to be immortal?*

To Zoltan, Uranus, and Venus: You enter the next underground area. This room is *really* big, much larger than the last ones. You find an abandoned town here. The buildings are made out of wood & stone, and they've probably all been abandoned for countless centuries. Strangely, if you were to go and wander around inside them, you'd find all the peoples' stuff intact, just as if everyone had left all at once. You'd also probably find all sorts of cool items and artifacts. It's startingly quiet. In the center of the burgh there stands a clock-tower that's about sixty stories tall. None of the other buildings even come close. In fact the other buildings are arranged in concentric circles around the clock tower. It's made out of brick, and it has little balconies and stuff all over the surface.... You can't make out much more because it's so very far away. You wonder if there might be something on the far side of the town- opposite to the entrance- but of course the clock tower's in the way of your line of sight. Chibi-Luna nibbles on Sailor Venus' ear ^.^. To the others[slackers^_-]: Yui notices Ka Lo laughing at him. "I can make you fly," he says cheerily. Before you can even agree he extinguishes the gravity on you so that you(Ka Lo) float in the air. Floating in the air is really hard, and you can't really get anywhere unless you have something to push off of. Yui grins and tries to make you fly in the direction you want to go. Sailor Saturn says something to him. He's about to answer when Sailor Pluto says something else. Yui folds his arms and thinks a little. "My dream??.... I don't know, I haven't thought about that in a long time...." "I used to have one. But that's gone now... I don't know, I never really thought I would live past today, so that's just the way I've been looking at it." He shrugs, not really knowing if he answered Pluto's question or not. (?)

Uranus grabs Venus by the hand and starts dragging her toward the tower. 'Come on, V-chan, let's go check out that weird tower thing!' She starts running in hyper-drive towards the tower, dragging Venus with her. She soon reaches the tower. 'It's very big. I wonder why?'

Pluto justs smiles at Yui *I wonder what his dream was....*she thinks

Venus lets Uranus drag over to the clock tower. She looks at Uranus. "What is this big clock tower thingy-ma-bobber doing in the center?" She smiles as Chibi-Luna nibbles on her ear.

"Whoa!" Ka Lo gets up in the air and looks down. 'That's high,' she thinks nervous. 'If I had an outfit like the others, I would have been worried about people looking up at me...' She forgets about it when she hears Yui. "How can you not have a dream?!" she asked surprise. "Everyone has one! And no, my dream isn't to restore my planet. I have other dreams too. Someday Iâd like to just be a homemaker. Have a husband, kids, everything. All my life I have been running around causing nothing but trouble. It would be nice to just stop and settle down. I hope one day I could·ä

"Yeah, you just TRY and take it from me Yui." Elda walked with Saturn. Peeved at Yui and felt a bit weird havin' Saturn helpin' her. They entered the room and she looked around. Elda rolled her eyes at Zoltan and his 'I can distory you if I wanted to' speech. "Ugh, arrogant, scabby lad..." She looked up at Ka Lo floatin' around in the air. "Sure sounds nice Ka Lo.. I could never do that. I'm not the type, I'm too adventuresome.(o.O') I really don't have a dream my self.. I mean, there are things I want to do but no goal I really wanna acheive in life.." She sighed. "That pathetic, itsn't it?" Elda tried to change the subject. "Erm, is Kyo alright..?"

'V-chan, if I knew, I wouldn't be standing around here gaping like an idiot. D'you think we should go in now, or wait for the others to show up?'

"Then have a goal to have the greatest adventure ever," Ka Lo said to Elda. "But I guess that comes along with being a scout." She laughed peering over to Kyo. "I'm not sure if he's okay... I wonder if we should go back to help him."

Saturn send a mental message to Pluto "*Thanks Pluto I don't know why I said that...*" She sweatdrops as Elda speaks, "Just ignore that fool...and Tori-chan I'm sure you have a dream, you just don't know it yet" She smiles and looks over to Kyo, "ack... I guess we forgot about him..whoops..."

Kyo dreams about Kiki running away from him.... Kyo spazzes as he lies there on the ground and calls Kiki's name as he races to catch her in his dreams.........

Aries detransformed and breathed in, a bit tired now. She didnt notice Kyo until he called out her name. "Kyo?" she said sitting down beside him. "Its ok I'm right here..." she started to stroke his hair. "Wake up" she sighed. "Not this again" she knew he would fall into a sleep a lot and not get up for long periods of time. "Let it be different this time..."

Pluto sends a mental message back to Saturn "*No problem Hotaru...any time you need help I'm always here for you.*" She follows her and Sailor Elda.

This third chamber is even bigger than the previous ones. Inside, there is a small town. The abandoned buildings are centuries old, and you wonder if this place was splendid in its heyday. You sense a great importance about this room. Something about the light and the way the buildings are arranged make you suspect that these structures are more sacred than the ruins you saw up top. In the center of the town is a clock tower that is about thirty stories tall, way larger than its neighbors (i said 60 stories last time, but I think that's a bit too much^_-). It seems very stately in that it's not dilapidated like the other buildings. It looks new. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Venus are up right next to the tower. The doors to the clock tower are open! You can see right inside! What you see is lots of red and gold. It is a very long hallway, adorned with gold statues on both sides. You know there's even more inside the tower- the thing is huge- but this is all that is in front of you for now.... The hall is veiled in a weird red light that reminds you of volcanic ash. And something else but you can't quite out your finger on it. The third magic-rock is inside the building. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Venus can see it, glowing faintly at the end of the hallway. Meanwhile, Yui is wandering around the city getting a look at everything. He settles down on the roof of a nearby building. He puts Ka Lo down on the roof as well. "It seems as though the clock tower is our next target..............." he says. "Maybe there's some way to get in through the top?......"

Pluto goes over to Sailor Uranus and Sailor Venus,she looks into the hallway,*its the third magic rock* she thinks to herself "So lets go get the rock Haruka-chan."she says,"we can be a team like old times...."

Ka Lo finally has her feet on the ground. She sighs relieved and walks over to the edge. Ka Lo peers down at everything below. "Can't we just blow the building open?" she asks impatient. Turning around she stares at the clock tower. She sighs a sadden sigh. "I thought this mission would be easy, but it turns out to be a long run of chaos. The others hardly even know what that dream was about too."

Zoltan grins, seperating from everyone. He looks around at the area he's in. There were some buildings around, but he didn't see anything in particular that was interesting besides that clock tower. Zoltan looks up at it, feeling extremely short at the moment. "Is that the target?" He asks himself, simply levitating higher up.

Uranus peers down the hallway. 'I don't know, Pluto-chan. This is kinda too easy, you know? I mean, it shouldn't just be there for all to see. But that's the best part, the surprise. So let's go.' She steps tentatively over the threshold, sheathing her sword but keeping her hand near it. 'Hello?Is anybody here?'

Kyo comes awake with a jolt. "KIKI!" He yells as he sits up from the ground.

"I'm here calm down.." Kiki whispered in his ear, stroking his cheek. "What were you dreaming about that made you so scared love?" she asked putting her head on his.

"Ok," Pluto said,"we're in this together Haruka-chan!" she steps next to Sailor Uranus holding tightly on to her time staff just incase she needs to attack someone or something.

Ka Lo walks over to the edge closest to the clock tower and stares up at it. Though she is up high, it still looks huge. "How do we get to the top anyway?" she asks, then quickly has an answer. He can levitate and make her do the same thing. "Oh, yeah... Anyway, let's get over there before the others do!"

Sailor Pluto & Sailor Uranus cross the threshold. Sadly, nothing happens so you go in a bit further. As you walk through the hall, you start to see the innards of the clock tower. It's filled with big gears. But these gears are over your head so you pay no mind to them. The third rock is further away than you first suspected- it's high up on the opposite wall. Anyway, after you reach a certain point in the hallway, you see the golden gargoyles on either side of you turn to face you. Their eyes light up, and then you have a blast of fire coming at you from your left and right (and slightly above). Okay, so the statues are actually flame throwers^_^.

Just before leaving with Ka Lo, Yui looks down at Elda & Saturn. "Hey- you guys want to come, or are you just going to sit there?" he asks.

Venus runs in after them. "HEY!!!!!!! WAIT FOR ME!!!!!!!" When she reaches them she taps on Pluto's shoulder. "Excuse me! You might think that it's old times, but it's not! In old times, you had Michi with you, and she's not here! Venus will replace Michi. End of story!" Venus now realizes the flame throwers. "AHHHHH!!!!!! VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!!!!"

"Dead Scream!" Pluto yells attacking the flame throwers. *Oh great Mina replacing Michi whats gonna happen next ^^;*

Uranus groans quietly. 'Minako-chan, you're not helping. You aren't Michiru and never will be.' She drops to the floor to avoid the flames, figuring Pluto and Venus between them have it under control. She crouches down, and moves quickly towards the end, trying to avoid the gargoyles and any other nasty surprises that might be there.

Zoltan floats over to the clock tower, about 27 stories above the ground. He smirks and pokes the clock tower, just to see if there were any loose parts. *I wonder...* Zoltan continues poking the clock tower, until he realizes that idea was probably dumb. He just shrugs and levitates further up, until he has to sprout his wings to continue. Right now he would have to be around 47 stories above the ground.

Elda didn't even bother to look up at Yui when he spoke. "Leave me alone, Yui-san." She took Saturn's arm and removed it from around her. "Thanks Hota-chan.. But I think I can handle my self.." She saw a few flames spurting from inside the clock tower. "Pluto's..in there!" Elda dashed into the building as fast as she could.

"Elda!!" Ka Lo shouts running over to the edge to look down on her. She watches her dart off and just shrugs. Fine, go get barbaqued, she thinks. "Eh... How about you Saturn?" she asks slowly.

Saturn was a little shocked when Elda dashed in, "ELDA!!!" She looks at Ka Lo and then the tower, and starts running towards the entrance, "I'm going in Ka lo, I have to. I can't let just stay outside watching the flames inside and not do anything, They're my friends... " With that she enters she stops as the actual fire which seemed like just a small flame revealed itself, "What am I going to do...are they okay? stupid flamethrowers!" Saturn looks for Uranus, Pluto and Venus' shadow in the fires. She takes a deep breath, "it's the only thing I can do..." before she knows it she dashes into the fire towards what she thinks is Pluto and Venus, *While they are attacking they need a shield*. "Silence Wall" The words came out of her mouth the second she reached them.

Venus looks at Uranus. "SHUT YOUR MOUTH! IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE HELPING THE SITUATION BY COMPLAINING!!!!" She sees Saturn. "Saturn!" ^^

"They'll be fine," Ka Lo tells herself. "But I guess I have to get over there." She walks to the edge facing the tower, getting ready to jump to the next building over.

Uranus lifts one eyebrow at Venus' yelling. 'Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. And you're wrong about not helping the situation; I feel better already. I need to complain to someone.' She also sees Saturn. 'Hotaru-chan, get out of here NOW!'

"Quiet Uranus! Shut up!" While not paying attention, some of the flames hit her. She falls down to her knees. "Owwww..." She blinks. "Guys! This might not be the right time to ask this question! BUT I GOTTA' PEE!!!!!!!"

"Arrrgggg....only you Mina only you..." Pluto said dusgusted

Uranus rolls her eyes. 'This is why we only work best in our usual team.'

"Well I'M here!" Elda said while popping up behind Uranus and Pluto. "And I'm not going to let you two keep on bickering pointlessly! So stop it RIGHT NOW!" Elda growled. "I really dislike friends fighting.." She sighed. "Oh by the way. Ah, Mina-chan are you alright."._.?

"Ok,too much info Mina!" Tux yells in disgust

Saturn's "Silence Wall" forms a dome around the Sailor Team that protects them from the raging fires. Sailor Venus flings an elegant "Love Chain Encircle!!". It nails on of the flame-throwers right in between the eyes. It cracks and splits up. Pluto's "Dead Scream" lights up the hallway so that only the machines' silhouettes remain. After the shock, the gargoyles are still there (!). It seems whatever they're made out of is extremely tough to destroy.... Luckily the lights in their eyes go out and they stop spitting flame. To Elda, Pluto, Venus, Uranus, and Saturn: Before you ever have the chance to take a breather, the ground starts shaking and it begins moving. The floor turns into a giant conveyor belt. It's chugging you along. In the direction you were going anyway. But it appears that you can't get off because there are walls to both sides. You hear a *schink* noise and you see dark shapes descend up ahead. And start swinging. Ahead, the conveyor belt passes through a set of swinging scythes. They're in your path and it looks like you'll sliced to ribbons if you keep sitting around. Sailor Uranus is the closest one to them (since she had ventured ahead).

"Holy shiznitz! I really hope we can distroy these things." Elda moved and got infront of Uranus. "Black..HOLE!" She screamed, sending her attack forwards infront of her. Hopeing all the while that it would break the scythes to pieces.

Zoltan starts to circle around in the sky, above the clock tower. He wasn't about to go higher, because that meant he would need his wings. But the thing was, he didn't want to go down and help them, either.

'Yipes!' Uranus hauls herself onto on of the gargoyles and stands on it instead of staying on the conveyor belt. 'Saturn, try to keep up the Silence Wall. Otherwise we'll all be cut to piseces by shrapnel. Space Sword BLASTER!' She sends her attack exactly in pace with Elda's.

"AHHHH!" is the first thing that pops into Pluto's head

Saturn nods but looks at Uranus, "I know if the silence wall will protect us... I just hope I have enough energy to keep this up" She teardrops at Pluto and tries to keep the Silence Wall up, hoping it'll get them through if nothing else works.

Pluto pulls herself together "I think I can help you with protecting us Hotaru-chan." she says "Garnet Ball," she screams,"Protect Us!"

Uranus hops dwn beside Saturn and puts her hand on Saturn's shoulder. 'Hotaru-chan, I'm going to give you my extra energy. If worst comes to worst, we're going to need your Silence Wall to keep us from being sliced. Just keep focussing on it, and I'll take care of the power.' She concentrates on sendng her power and energy through her hand into Saturn.

Venus starts running in the opposite direction. "I DON'T WANNA' DIE!!!!!" Venus falls on her face. She sits up and looks at Saturn and Elda. "My head hurts." ^_~

Ka Lo watches over where the tower is trying to control how angry she was since things were going slow where she was. "I'm going where the action is!!!" she shouts finally and jumps down off the building. Ka Lo runs through the doors almost crashing into Venus on the floor. "Get out of my way!" she yells. "Pain Ball Blast!" She aims the attack towards everything up head, careful not to hit anyone^.^ She turns around starting to run in the other direction, not getting far since the ground is moving her the other way. She takes out her sword ready to attack anything. "What have you guys been doing?!?!" she asks surprised of what was happening.

Uranus doesn't react to anything, as if she is dead to the world. She stares unseeingly straight aead, all her being focussed on maintaining Saturn's Silence Wall. She concentrates on the energy pouring from her into Saturn, controlling the amount and force.

Saturn closes her eyes and concentrates solely on the silence wall, blocking out everything else. She focuses on concentrating all her and the energy Uranus gave on the Silence wall.

Sailor Uranus' Space Sword Blaster is sent forward alongside Elda's Black Hole. Both smash into the swinging hooks, and it's enough to rattle the room, but the scythes keep going! Sailor Pluto, Sailor Uranus, and Sailor Saturn enter the threatened area under the protection of Saturn's Silence Wall, and Pluto's Force Field. All three of you feel the psychic impact of the knives scraping against the shield, but luckily, they don't get through. Sailor Ka Lo's "Pain Ball Blast" hits the blades as well. This last touch, along with Uranus and Elda's attacks earlier, is JUST enough to make them stop functioning. They stop swinging. The scythes aren't destroyed- not they're simply hanging there. * * * The good news is that the conveyor belt ends. At the end of the hallway, there is the beautiful chamber with the Power Rock in it. The bad news is that between that room and the end of the conveyor belt, there is a large pit. The pit is about fifteen feet wide! It's too dark to see what's at the bottom of it- although you hear the grinding of metal gears and it certainly looks like an uncool place to be. The conveyor apparently intends to dump its contents into that pit there.

"Hmm..." Ka Lo walks over to the end and looks down the hole, then looks up at the stone. 'How do I get past this thing?' She puts her hands on her hips and turns around to face everyone. "Anyone have any ideas?"

'Uh-oh.' Uranus comes back to herself as soon as they scythes stop. 'This is very bad. I'm so not in the mood to fall into machinery and be chewed to bits. Here goes nothing!' She backs up, then takes a running jump across the gap. She unsheathes her sword in the air, and drives it into the wall of the canyon, about four feet below the top. She dangles from it for a minute, then pulls herself up and sits on the hilt that is sticking out. She grabs the edge with one hand, for just long enough to stand on the hilt. She quickly swings herself onto solid ground. 'That could have been worse.' She turns back to the rest of them. 'Do you guys have any ideas about how you can get over here?'

Pluto puts holds on tightly to her time staff runs full speed puts the time staff on the ground and does two flips in the air to safety on soild ground next to Sailor Uranus. "Phew I'm glad that worked!"she said

Uranus reaches down and pulls her sword out of the canyon wall. 'I hope there aren't any more traps..' She walks cautiously up to the rock and picks it up. 'So much trouble for something so small...' she muses.

Kiki decides she must leave Kyo's side and find her friends. "Sorry K but I got to go find the others" she stands up and races up in hopes of finding Ka Lo, elda or one of the gang along the way. She had no idea where she was going or even if the others went that way but she still went on.

Venus runs past the sycthes, hoping they won't fall. ^_~ She runs over to the edge. "You guys didn't-" Unfortunatly, Venus doesn't get to finish her sentence, because she slips and falls down the hole. She lands on her butt VERY HARD! She sits there and moans for a minute. She leans over, and pukes, not knowing where she is.

"How did you jump that far?!" Ka Lo calls to Uranus. "None of us can do that... Or at least I think we can't. Anyone else want to try?" She takes a few steps back from the edge. "Hey, everyone see if they can find something we can use to cross over. We can hitch it off to Uranus and climb over..." She thinks more. "Or even better we can get a rope and swing across! Anyone have a rope?!"

"I wonder how those dumb senshi are doing?" Zoltan couldn't help to wonder about the Sol Senshi as he looks down at the clock tower. He lays down in thin air, yawning. "I hope they hurry up." Since he was using them, he wanted them to be quick. It was like he thought they were his slaves or something, when they weren't.

"We aren't a bunch of Indiana Jones Ka Lo-chan. And besides, I don't think we have any rope either.." Elda sighed. "Okay, I'm following Pluto." Elda took her staff and ran forward as fast as she could, she pressed her staff against the ground, throwing herself high into the air and forward feet first. She landed crouched, right next to the edge. The ground there cracked and fell away and she slipped. "Waugh!!" Elda grabbed onto the edge with her hands and hoisted herself up. "Damn that was close!" She breathed heavily for a moment.

Ka Lo stands wondering if she should try jumping across. She never was that good at jumping. "I can't jump that far!" she shouts angry. "I have to practice first!" She starts jumping up and down, trying to get higher and higher. "That should work..." She says, jumping one last time. "Nothing else to do but try." She starts to run but stops. "Who am I talking too?"

Saturn looks across and has a confused look on her face, "how in the world..." She looks at Ka Lo practicing her jumps, "Maybe I can jump...well hopefully" She holds onto her glaive, of which she was leaning on before for support, tight in her hand. "Ka Lo wanna jump together?"

Uranus runs over to the edge when she hears Venus fall. 'V-chan! Oh, good grief. What is it with her and falling off things?' She sees Ka Lo trying to jump across. 'I wouldn't try jumping unless you're REALLY SURE you'll make it over. Try to find something you can use as a handhold, like a dagger or something like that.'

To Sailor Venus: You land on your butt at the bottom of the pit with *boink* noise. Luckily, it's not that deep and you could still see your friends at the top of the pit. There are four walls around you, each made of metal. It doesn't look like there's anything else interesting in the room. It's a little dark in here. You hear gears turning and they're rather loud. As soon as you land, they really start going into motion..... Everything starts rumbling. And one second later, the walls start moving closer together! They're being pushed by the gears. You have some time, because they are moving slowly, but sooner or later you're going to end up as an extremely squished Sailor Senshi. (The good news about this is- theoretically, if the walls completely squish you then Ka Lo and Saturn can just run across instead of jumping^_^. However, it's still hard to see the walls since it's dark.) To everyone else: As soon as Sailor Uranus touches the rock, alarms go off. Sirens are sounding and the room flashes bright red. To Sailor Aries: You saw your friends go ahead straight into the clock tower. But, before you can reach there, sirens starts blaring. The entire town lights up in an extravagant display of flashing lights and searchlights. The ground opens up. It doesn't cave in-- It opens up as if it were the lid of a giant coffin. Then, from out of the ground comes a GIANT ROBOT. As it emerges from the ground, it sort of destroys all of the buildings in the general vicinity. The robot is very big. If you were standing next to it you would come up to about halfway up its calf.... It is humanoid, and wearing black armor over the steam-driven mecha inside it. It begins heading straight for the clock tower, and you(Sailor Aries) are right in its path.

'Uh-oh.' Uranus jumps about three feet in the air when the sirens go off. 'Typical. Very typical.' She weighs the stone thoughtfully in her hand, and starts looking around frantically. 'Come on, just something small...' She sees a small piece of rock lying in a corner, and picks it up. 'About right...close enough, anyway. It's worth trying.' She places the rock exactly where the gemstone had been, in the hopes that the machinery would think it was the gemstone. She then runs back to the edge. 'Gotta think of a plan, think think think...got it!' She bends down, and pulls out of her boot the fishline she had been carrying. She ties it around her wrist, and loops it around her fingers as well, then drops one end down to Venus. 'V-chan! Wrap this around your wrist, and try pulling yourself up. See if you can use the walls to climb up!' Uranus braces her feet, and grips the string hard.

And then she fell in, Ka Lo said annoyed. What was the reason I'm with them again? She looks down the hole at Venus. "You okay down there?" she calls. "Go and take the fishing line that is probably not that strong and hoist yourself up." She looks at the hole. Wait a minute... Wasn't the hole just smaller? The walls are moving together!? Instead of thinking about the danger, she is just happy she'll be able to cross without a horrific leap.

Kiki spotted her friends but before she could even react her ears were blasted out by sirens. "what the f***?" she mumbled and as she turned around she felt the ground shaking and saw a huge, gigantic robot. she stared at it for a moment in shock, then realized that it was coming right at her. "Ah damn!" she mumbled getting herself back together. "I got to gte out of herre!" she started running although it was probably useless. "Should I transform? no that would take time and wouldnt help much!" she shrieked to herself as she ran away. "what is that thing????" she whined her braid flying as she ran fast.

As Tuxedo Mask watched the robot coming after Kiki,he runs in front of the robot and yells "Come on and get me!!" as the robot charges in his direction.

'Ka Lo, you're not exactly helping,' says Uranus through gritted teeth. 'Don't listen, V-chan, this should be strong enough. Anyway, it's stronger than air.'

Venus blinks. "I'll try anything, instead of being a Sailor Senshi Pancake!" She grabs the fishing line and tries to climb it.

Uranus grips the fishline. 'Okay, now brace your feet against the wall, and lean back so you're standing on the wall. Now start walking up the wall. I'll pull you up slowly.' She starts sloooowly backing up, holding the line in a vise-like grip. She ignores the lines cutting through her gloves, ignores them cuttting deep into her hands, and focusses her entire being on drawing the line up after her.

Venus looks up teary-eyed. She starts to climb against the wall. "It's harder than it looks! The wall, is moving, too!" She looks down. She stops for a moment and tries to climb again.

Ka Lo looks down the hole again. "That is fishing line, strong enough to hold a kite, strong enought to get a fish, but not Sailor Senshi. Besides, may I remind you miss 'I can jump balconies', you are transformed. Can't you jump that high? We can still see you ya know. You can at least jump high enough to grab the edge or for us to grab you when you jump. Just try it, or you can be dragged in like a slimy fish." Ka Lo stands up and put her hands on her hips.

Pluto stands beside Ka Lo and thinks out loud by mistake "Why did Mina have to follow Haruka and I in here everything probably would have been fine,and she wouldnt be stuck down there!",she relilazes that she said that outloud,"Oh I didnt mean to say that!"

Saturn just now realized Sailor Venus was stuck in the hole, "Man this sucks...it may seem like a ridiculous idea with the fishline but I'm gonna go help" She runs back then leaps over the somewhat smaller gap using the tip of her glaive to hold her. She gets the part of the fishing line behind Uranus ((I'm guessing there is some that Uranus put behind her because it would be extremely stupid to hold on to the end)) and starts to pull with Uranus by twisting her glaive around the string and pulling that instead of the string.

Kyo gets up and runs around wondering where to go and what to do.

Uranus relaxes slightly when Saturn's glaive takes most of the pull. 'Pluto and Ka Lo, are you gonna just sit there making smart remarks, or are you going to actually do something and risk getting your hands dirty? There's no room for arguments. We are a TEAM, that means we help each other, not just those of each other whom we completely respect and admire. Now go do something about that robot!' She continues pulling, faster now.

Saturn starts to intensify her force on the glaive in an attempt to help Venus up. "Uranus is right guys! Pluto-chan I know you are a little annoyed at Venus and I don't blame you but still-" She hadn't noticed the robot until then, it seems her brain was reacting quite slow now for some reason, "R-robot..." Saturn grasps tighter onto her glaive and starts walking back, "Haruka maybe you should try and grab onto my glaive and pulling instead of your hands, it might be faster and it might spare you from some more pain" She commented when looking at Uranus' hands. Saturn now pulls harder, now that she notices the robot.

'Hmm? Oh, yeah. Okay.' Uranus only now notices the cuts on her hands. 'Weird. I didn't even notice.' She grabs onto the glaive and oulls, more easily since the line is no longer digging into her hands.

'Hmm? Oh, yeah. Okay.' Uranus only now notices the cuts on her hands. 'Weird. I didn't even notice.' She grabs onto the glaive and oulls, more easily since the line is no longer digging into her hands.

Uranus grits her teeth. 'I don't care what you say, if you're so sure it's soooo easy to get out, we'll just push you down there and let YOU become a Sailor Pancake. Since you're perfectly self-sufficent, why don't you just go take care of that giant robot. We won't get in your way.'

Saturn was getting annoyed because of the conflict in the group, "Guys please stop! We have enough troubles in this stupid place, and we don't need everyone fighting all the time. So please I hate seeing my friends fight and I think we should be more focused on trying to live!" She takes a giant step back and digs her heels in the ground as much as she can, pulling with all her might, "Venus, try and walk up, we don't have that much time before you won't be able to walk up!" Her arms began to ache from the strength she was channeling to pull Venus up.

"I'm sorry,"Pluto starts to say then she finally notices the robot,"Uh,guys I think they have a situation outside!" Pluto holds on to Saturn just incase she takes a fall "I'll help you Hotaru-chan I have been acting so chlidish it isn't even funny....I'm sorry.."

Uranus smiles shakily at Saturn. 'Sorry, Hotaru-chan. But I'm tired, cold, sore, and cranky. And hungry. I skipped breakfast. All of which makes for someone inclined to chop someone's nose off for sneezing too loudly. I'll calm down.'

Venus groans. She notices that the walls are closing in on her. She keeps her back ont he wall, and with all her strength, runs up the wall while holding on to the rope tightly. She reaches up hoping that someone's hand will be there, so they can pull her up.

When Sailor Venus gets up to the top Pluto grabs her hand and pulls her up "Sorry about all the mean things I said please forgive me..."

Uranus stops pulling on the line, and starts unsticking it from the grooves it dug in her hands. 'Yuck. Yuck. Eeew, bloody fishline. Double yuck.' She starts rolling all the fishline up into a ball. 'I'll keep this hanging around. You never know when fishline could come in handy. You okay, V-chan? Not squished yet?' She laughs briefly. 'Just kidding. Now let's take this rock and et out of here ASAP.' She strolls over the once-walls, and pauses where the scythe blades are. 'Anyone coming? Aries and Elda could probably use backup.'

Ka Lo sighs and gets up heading out. "I think I will take that offer outside." She leaves, right way to see the big robot. Metal... she thinks. "It should melt." She runs over behind it and tries an attack. "Star Dash Break!" She aims for the robots back. After attacking she runs over to Tuxedo Mask and drags him away. "Do you like being stepped on by giant robots or is it just a hobby?" Before he gets a chance to answer, she jumps on top the roof she was on before, just to be higher.

Venus smiles. "It's okay Pluto!" She looks at Uranus. "Well, thankfully I'm not a senshi pancake! Thanks Uranus, Pluto, and Saturn!" She follows Uranus. "I'll come."

Saturn was relieved that they finally stopped their bickering and that Venus was up, "Any part of you squished Venus?...great we stopped fighting but now we need to get that robot" She dashes towards Uranus and looks at her hands, "How are your hand Uranus?" Saturn puts her hands on Uranus' and closes her eyes. They begin to glow for a while and then die down, she takes away her hands and smiles, "Now?" She looks back at Pluto then runs off towards the huge Robot. "What the..." Apparently it was larger than she expected. *Maybe explosions will due* She thinks while stepping back and holding her glaive up in the air, "Ecstasy"



'Thank you, Hotaru-chan.' Uranus smiles softly. 'It feels much better now.'

Pluto attacks the robot "Chronos Typhoon!"

Zoltan looks down at the robot. He scratches his head, and then starts laughing. "Ha ha!" Zoltan continues to laugh at Aries, finding this pretty entertaining. If it is a friend of the Sol Senshi, or a Sol Senshi, being hurt, he finds it funny. "And I thought men were stupid? These Sol Senshi are whack." He crosses his arms as he sits in the air. Zoltan doesn't like men. The funny thing is that Zoltan is a man himself. He used to dislike everyone and nearly everything, but that has changed quite a bit. One of his mottos are, "I'm not dissing myself, but I'm dissing every other man!" "Go robo!" Zoltan calls, laughing.

"Good thing we got Venus out." Elda ran outside with the others and just groaned when she looked at the robot. "WHY can't they just make it a LITTLE BIT EASIER?! I mean, c'mon... Who builds robots under their cities." She sighed. "And would they have the technology to build one..?" Elda pondered for a moment. "Oh well, might as well have a look-see at the robo.." Elda said, grinning. She streched her arms then ran full speed at the robot and threw herself up onto one of it's legs. She was about at the 'knee'. Elda crawled up it looking for wires. Any at all.

"Uggh" sighs Tux still stunned Wahh!! wat happened!!?

Kyo starts running and while running he transforms back into Archer Knight. He FINALLY catches up w/ Kiki and wonders where they should go to find cover. AK pulls out his handy-dandy-trusty-rusty-good-pal bow and his equally handy arrows. "SOUL SHATTER!!!" AK sends a bright green arrow soaring towards the robot behind them while hes running.Its green because his energy supply has been restored and this is a very powerful arrow.

Venus looks at the robot. Her jaw practically drops to the ground. "Is that the....robot?"

"Ak is finally back," Ka Lo observed. "And Elda just through herself on the robot. Hope she finds something good." She jumps up and just sits on the edge of the roof, her feet dangling down. "I hope my attack works."

"Thats not going to help Kyo! Its just a waste of energy you idiot!!!" Kiki was back in her mood, the one she had before. Anything could trigger it and this certainly did. She stopped running and transformed quickly. "Aries Zodiacstar Explosion" she muttered aiming her attack at the ground. She jumped up and the attack bounced off the ground. Her attempt here was that it would hit her feet and blast her up, and out of the way.

"That's the spirit Aries-chan!" Ka Lo shouted laughing. "At least someone's using their head!" She stands up staight on the edge of the building. "That's why I'm up here and not down there where I'll be stepped on." She turns around and jumps to the building top ground. "Oh... I'm the only one here." She laughed knowing she was talking to herself.

Sailor Ka Lo's attack hits the broad side of the robot's armor and diminishes. You wonder what the armor is made out of. Sailor Saturn's "Ecstasy" slams into it head on. The force of the attack pushes the robot backwards a couple hundred feet. However, the robot seems to shrug off most of the blow. Archer Knight's "Soul SHATTER" arrows pierce through the armor on its legs. You see a small explosion happen around where the arrow hit. Unfortunately, the robot can't feel any pain so it happens to ignore this. To Sailor Elda: You don't see any wires, only gears. The mecha is stream-driven, so there's no electrical-related materials This is what the robot does. He reaches up into the air, and catches Zoltan in the pal of his hand. The robot then throws Zoltan down into the ground. Take that. Then, it takes out its sword, and swings it in the general direction of Sailor Ka Lo. The building Ka Lo is standing on is destroyed completely^_^. Then, it turns to Sailor Uranus, Saturn, and Pluto (I'm guessing you're all together.) It turns its giant sword around, and then swings it downwards at you three- attempting to stab the ground.

Uranus jumps back away from the downswung sword, but not very far. She leaps up, trying to reach the hilt of the giant sword.

Zoltan lands on his feet. That's what he always does, no surprise. "This thing patheic!" He exclaims, flying up into the air. Zoltan makes sure to stay far away from the robot, and high above the robot. Literally, he's still 47 stories off the ground, but he's quite a distance away from the fight. "Na na! Let's see you do that to me now!" He sticks his tongue out at the robot. From some reason, Zoltanh chooses not to fight. It must be because he'd be helping the Sol Senshi.

Aries did a complete turn in the air and landed on her feet on top of the clock tower. She looked down below and shrugged, not bothering to try and attack it. She crossed her arms and waited to see what would happen next.

"Chronos Typoon!"Pluto screams. *wow what a day...*she thinks to herself

"Hmm.." Elda looked at the gears. "That'll probably work better for what I've had planned!" Elda grinned and took her fingers up to the gem in her tiara sticking her fingernail up and popping it out into her hand. The gem in her tiara just happened to also work as a bomb. Not a huge one - but effective enough. "Okay, now.." She looked around at the gears. Elda took the gem she popped out of her tiara and stuck it onto one of the larger gears connected to more smaller ones. She then pressed on the black dot on the ying yang gem. "Now to get outta here!" Eld quickly climbs down the leg and jumps off about six-eight feet from the ground on her feet and runs off away form the giant robot.

Saturn jumps up, slightly away from the sword in hope to get on top of it, or close to that. "SILENCE GLAIVE SURPRISE!" She yells while in the air.

"Shit!" Ka Lo screams when the sword comes. It happened too quickly for her to react, and she falls down with it. Shielding her head, she ends up under rumble and dust. Slowly Ka Lo stands up and looks around, all bruised and cut. At last she just falls back from pain. "That's not good..." She sighs and struggles to get back up. "What is that thing made from?!"

Uranus tries to jump onto the hilt of the robot's sword, but falls back, breathing in gasps. 'Too much...jumping...damn robot...' She kneels on the ground, trying to get her energy back.

Uhhh lemme try!!! SMOKING BOMBER!!!!

Ka Lo ran quickly, too tired to jump onto another building. She held her arm that began to hurt again from being cut before. 'Now it's way deeper,' she thought nervously. 'I always wondered what the battle I never came back from would be like...' She got a good distance away, where she could see the robot, but no one else. She sighed relieved and just took out her sword. She sat on it trying to catch breath. "Just keep them way down there," Ka Lo said out loud.

AK laughs at Zoltan when he is thrown to the ground by the robot. "HAHA what is the great and mighty Zoltan gonna do about that? At least Old Rusty here is good for somethin." AK rolls to the right of the path of the robot and makes a run for the clock tower. When he gets there he looks up to the top of the tower to Kiki. *Oh well, if she doesnt really give a damn about me or this f robot, then y should I try and be nice?* AK shoots an arrow w/ a rope on it and climbs his way to the top of the clock tower. He says nothing to Kiki. AK pulls out his bow and arrows. He takes out three and thinks. *Most vulnarable spot..hmmmmm....Worth a try..* "SOUL SHATTER!!!" He aims the three arrows at the robots suposed head, or it kinda looks like a head...

Zoltan glares at Archer Knight. After all, he landed on his feet. That was no reason to tease someone. *If he knew what's good for him...Does he know that I can destroy immortals?* He keeps his distance away from everyone, and the fight. Zoltan wasn't going to bother with this robot, so he just flew further away. *Archer's head would be gone if I was Nenhenyi...Good for him I'm not.* Apparently, Zoltan was starting to hate Archer Knight more then he hated Mars. His orange eyes were fiery as he looked at them, especially fiery when it came to Archer Knight and Uranus. Zoltan smirks at Aries, however, enjoying the fact that she wasn't helping them. *I wonder how Kiki could even love Kyo...? Whatever, it's not my business.*

Sailor Pluto's "Chronos Typhoon!!" does its nasty work on the robot. She hit is square in the chest. The armor on the robot's chest starts to disintegrate a little bit. Saturn's "Silence Glaive Surprise!" also helps-- it hits the same spot, blasting that area of the robot's armor open. You see some little gears and other metal parts fall out. Unfortunately, the robot is still going.... Sailor Elda's Gem Bomb goes off. There's an explosion near the robot's right knee. A couple seconds later, the giant robot's right foot completely falls off. It clatters to the ground. "SMOKING BOMBER!!" hits it from one side, and the robot falls back on its bum, creating a ground-shaking "ka-boom" as it lands. Archer Knights's "Soul Shatter!" attack is next. Kyo's arrows not only hit him in the head, but right in the eyes. The robot hisses at AK in anger and its head rear back. Then, it reaches up and pulls the arrows out of its head. It crushes the arrows in its hand. (darn arrows). The giant robot attempts to get up again. But halfway through while it is getting up, it flings its giant sword around and strikes the clock tower. The clock tower gets chopped in half sideways, and it crumbles in an explosion. To Sailor Aries and Archer Knight: You are in mid-air. .....The robot resumes its attempt to get up. It gets into a sort of kneeling position where it doesn't need its other leg. Then it aims its fist at Sailor Uranus. Part of its hand opens up, revealing the flame-throwers there. Volumes of fire start to rain down. The robot sweeps its arm in order to scorch the entire area concerning Sailor Uranus, Venus, Saturn, Pluto, Elda, and Tuxedo Mask.

"Garnet Ball please protect us!" Pluto shouts. *please work..just untill someone else figures something out*

"ARIES!" Elda screams as she sees the tower getting sliced in half and then crumbling. She turned back around as fire came at her and the rest around her. 'I sure hope a dark water attack will work' She thought. "Black..Rhapsody-!!" Elda yells, trying to get the flames away from her self. She turns to Saturn. "If ever we needed your Silence Wall Saturn, it's now!" Elda gripped her fists, hoping that Pluto could protect her and the others around her.

Zoltan sticks his tongue out at them. "Na na!" He mocks, looing at the robot. Zoltan just shrugs and sits back in the air, crossing one leg over the other. *Please don't work protection attacks, please burn them fire.* Obviously, he was hoping that they got burned to death.

Uranus dodges the fire, somehow managing to always be just to one side of the bolts. Quickly, she runs up closer to the robot's hand, and jumps onto its arm just below the elbow. 'Let's see how it can use these flamethrowers without a hand. Space Sword Blaster!' She aims for the joint where the wrist attaches.

"F***!!!!!" Aries growled as the tower started to collapse. "How the hell am I gonna get out of this one...?" she thought while falling. "Oh I know! Aries Mirage Surround!" she screamed trying to make 2 of herself. *If I can make it... I can use Venus Love Chain Incircle and grab onto to something so I won't fall...work..*

"There goes the clock tower," Ka Lo says calm. "I hope Aries will be alright, at least she has time to get out of there, unlike me who was covered." She falls back on her sword. "Ow..." Ka Lo just lays back, staring at the sky. "I'm bored, but no way I'm going back out to fight, and now I'm talking to myself again."

AK pulls out his handy bow and arrow and thinks, *Well then just put me in a situation where I can't use my bow and arrows...hmmmmmm..I think I'll just fall..* AK makes himself land beside the clocktower rubble and with and "Ooomph" and a "Dammit" he sits up and watches Aries make a more intelligent dessent. *I hope she'll be ok. Hell, i know she'll be ok, she must be. Not that she would care about me... OH STOP IT KYO!! You finish the mission and you're out of here...You won't have to worry about any of these people again..Hopefully not Zoltan, thank Kagetsu Tenshi...* He rolls on his side and sits up behind some rubble.

Uranus starts climbing up the robot's arm, trying to reach its shoulder. 'Man, this is harder than it looks. Oh, well, no going back.'

Sailor Uranus' "Space Sword Blaster" slices at the robot's wrist joint. You see the machinery inside the hand light up from the blast as if it was heating up. You hear a strange high-pitched noise as the gears gnash together. You watch as the hand and the flame-throwers cease to function. Sailor Pluto's shield protects the others on the grouund long enough until Elda's dark water attack completely extinguishes the flames. Part of the Black Rhapsody also hits the robot-- However the robot turns its arm so your attack hits the armor and dissipates. To Sailor Aries: You successfully create a double of yourself. But you kind of hit the ground before you can coordinate a "Love Chain Encircle". Luckily, because there's two of you, the impact isn't as great as it could be. You land, but you recover quickly. The robot attempts to attack again, but the missing parts seriously impede its progress^_^

Zoltan groans. "Aww man!!! Of course, he was cheering on the inside for Archer Knight's fall. He was looking forward to the monster kicking the Sol Senshi's butts. Now he knew the robot was going to be dead in a moment.

"Dead Scream!" Pluto yells attacking the robot

"Good idea Pluto!!" He yells when she yells her attack. He pulls out his bow and arrows. He pulls out 20 arrows from his endless supply in his quiver. "SOUL SHATTER!!!!!"He aims once again at the robots head. A great lights display if anyone dares to look at it.

Elda breathed a sigh of releif as the fire went away and Aries and Kyo both landed safely. She glared up at Zoltan, hearing him. "Oh, be nice for once! If you even know HOW to do that." She turned and walked over to Aries. "Hey, Ari-chan. You okay?" She asked her friend.

Zoltan smirks, looking down at Elda. "I can be nice, but you people tick me off! I'm only mildly annoyed right now, you should see me at full blast. Besides, I don't wanna' be like Elios." *I heard that!* A voice hisses in his head. He laughs and brushes his bangs out of his face, his jewel glowing thanks to the brightness of the "Soul Shatter" attack. Zoltan stares at the Soul Shatter attack, sweatdropping. "That doesn't look to bad from up here, but then again the same goes with everything else when you're forty-seven stories high." All Zoltan was doing was criticizing them

'Yow!' Uranus shades her eyes to avoid being blinded by the Soul Shatter, and leaps free of the robot to avoid the arrows. 'Jeez, AK, watch where you're aiming those things!' She lands amid the rubble of the tower, and looks up at Zoltan. 'Most things do look better from a distance. Especially if you're scared.' She makes it sound like an insult.

Ka Lo looks over at the robot. "The others have gotten far," she says out loud. "And I've been here falling asleep." She stared up at the sky and closes her eyes. "I'm tired, this has been a long day." Slowly she takes her sword from out under her, from when she fell on it before, and makes it disappear. 'Don't want anyone to steal that.'

Zoltan glares at Uranus. "Nani? I'm not scared. Blood and gore really don't scare me. Especially not that foolish robot." He says, taking something out of his pants pocket. Zoltan floats down and shows it to her. "My best friend is half android anyways." Just to annoy her, he smushes what he was holding in her face, then levitates back to forty-seven stories in the sky. It was a bloody heart...

Uranus blinks, nonplussed. 'I don't suppose you'd deign to tell me how you prevented that from soaking through your pockets. Did it belong to anyone in particular?'

Zoltan senses a presence nearby. Next thing you know, you look and see Yui floating in the air right behind him. "Nice job destroying the heart there. Too bad it's the only thing you've done so far... But I must say-- you really showed that heart who's boss ". Yui snickers. "Where did you get that heart from anyway??? I want one," With that Yui leans over and tries to sift through Zoltan's pockets o.O.

*HAha, Yui's not THAT bad afterall...*He dusts himself off and winces when Uranus yells at him to watch where he shoots his arrows. He sees her and yells back. "SRY!!R U OK!?!"

Uranus calls back, 'You mean aside from almost getting skewered?' She watches Yui and laughs, remarking to noone in paricular, 'for once, I'm on Yui-what's-his-name's side. This is better than TV.'

Zoltan gets slit eyes. "Yui...I get them from a sub-space pocket that leads to an alternate dimension that no one knows the location of but me." *What is this guy trying to do?! Touch my butt?!* His eyebrow twitches. "Will you get those hands of yours out of my pockets?!" Zoltan does something very funny. He reaches into his pocket, one of the ones that Yui was searching in, and pulls out another bloody heart. How did he get these hearts, anyways? From the dimension yes, but how did they get there? Zoltan laughs. "You want it? Take it!" He throws it in Yui's face.

Ka Lo sits up confused. Yes, she had fallen asleep, and now was looking around trying to figure out where she was. Finally, everything came back, and she stood up. "I wasn't asleep that long... The robot's still here." Slowly she walks back to everyone else. She yawns tired. "I just had the best sleep of my life!" Ka Lo shouts to everyone. "So... Uh, what's going on?" She can't really see from drowsiness.

A sweatdrop slides down Zoltan's head. "How idiotic can these senshi get?" He mumbles, obviously talking about Ka Lo. Looking at Yui closely, Zoltan couldn't help but to laugh. "Ahh, Yui, how do you like having a heart for a face? Or at least, heart remains..." He reaches forward and proceeds to smudge the blood, tissues, veins, and then heart itself all over his face.

"I'm fine!" both Aries's stood up and dusted themsevles off. (Oh no double the bitchy atitude!) She then totally ignored Elda and looked over at Zoltan. "Zolt!" she laughed. "Good one" they both said in unison, giving him a thumbs up. "Want the heart crisyp fried Yui?" she asked in a sarcastic way. "I can do that but tell me when to stop if it gets burned. Aries Mars Sniper!" she aimed it at Yui's face.

Uranus is, by now, shaking with the effort not to laugh hysterically. 'And I thought haggis was the weirdest dish I'd ever hear of...

Elda groaned. "I swear you guys can't ever...augh!" She turned to Yui and threw a punch at him. "GET A LIFE YOU WIND BAG!!!" Elda screams at him. She was getting extremely annoyed by him. She turned and glared at Zoltan. "And YOU stop argueing with people, Zolly!"

{super huge grin} The robot has Pluto's "Dead Scream" and a ton of arrows coming towards it. Sailor Pluto's attack hits the metal body, disintegrating most of what's left of the armor on its chest. The twenty arrows, going for the head, once again hit their target (it's a rather big target). The head ignites and catches on fire for a moment. When the fire leaves, its just a big black skull with a helmet on. Just when you felt certain that it was outta commission, the eyes inside the skull light up. The top of its head flips open like a lid and an additional set of machinery pops out. They're little missile launchers. It shoots off about twenty missiles straight up into the air. They go up and, after reaching a certain height, the missiles turn around and begin to drop back down. When they hit the ground, they explode everything! (Of course, they haven't done this yet, but they're about to do it.) Everyone on the floor is in danger of getting blown up. ...Yui has blood all over him, but he doesn't seem to mind. He takes the heart and gets rid of it. Then he rakes his fingers through his hair, getting blood on it (eww). "Not my favorite look.... But I've gotten used to it." He says, still grinning. He sees Sailor Aries' Flame Sniper rushing at him, and, without wasting a moment, he sends it back to her twice as fast. It looks like the Flame Sniper bounced off a solid wall. Yui licks his fingers. "You know, if you had any real style, it would have been an eye-ball," he says casually to Zoltan. In short: Everyone is about to get blown up by the missiles that are coming down. Sailor Aries ALSO has a backwards Flame Sniper coming at her.

"Don't call me a senshi," Ka Lo hissed to Zolton. "I'm not one of them." She forgets him a second and looks at the missiles. 'I have to get out of here...' She looks around alarmed. "I could sure use that levitaion now. Which I could do with my necklace!"

"Damn" Aries said running out of energy. "Uh Aries Mercury Bubbles Blast!" she aimed it at her other attack flying at her. Then she notices the missles "Uh... now what?" she thought trying to think. She breathes in hard, her breaths ragged and shallow from lack of energy. "Aries.. Zodaic Star Explosion" she mumbled turning around and shooting at the missles. After the attack she collasped and the second one of her went back into her body. she was barely breathing, using 3 attacks then her most powerful one takes away a lot of her energy, especially if theres 2 of her or more.

"We could try that Sailor Scout telleport thingy..and get our selfs out of her..but that wouldn't be very brave now would it?"Pluto tells everyone.

'Brave shmave.' Uranus runs over to Aries, and kneels down by her, trying to shake her awake. 'I'd prefer cowardly and alive to brave and dead. But there's one small problem. I seriously doubt we have enough power left to get all of us ot of here, PLUS Aries.' Her voice becomes sarcastically bright. 'And before you suggest we try it anyway, might I remind you what happens if it fails? The bit with being smeared across ten dimensions?' Her voice loses its sarcastic tinge, and she snaps her fingers. 'I know! Pluto, use your time key to move us forward in time just a little, to after the bombs hit. 5 minutes should do.'

"There's no time," Ka Lo said to Pluto. "Just do what Aries did and try to blow up the missiles before they hit down here." She peered over to Aries. 'Don't go down now,' she thought to herself and walked over. Slowly Ka Lo knelt down and looked her over. 'At least she's not dead,' she decided smiling.

Saturn glared at 'Zolly' and that disgusting heart things, but quickly looked back at missles coming right at them, "Ka Lo's right, we can't just hide or leave them that takes more time than we possibly have" She concentrates on a group of missiles and closes her eyes, trying to block out everything around her except solely on the group of missiles. The saturn symbol on her forehead begun to glow.

"Oooh crap!" She turned and ran over to Aries just as she collapsed and knelt down to her. "Ari-chan.." Elda looked over at Saturn. "Saturn-chan! Do you think healing her would help!?" She stood up and removed the sphere from her staff, placing it infront of her she whispered to herself then held out the sphere. "Atmosphere!" She yelled, hoping and praying that the fogish dark-energy would hold the missiles back a bit. "Black Hole!" She yells, once again throwing out her attack at the missiles.

Zoltan laughs. "For your information, aliens act differently." He responds in a causal voice, telling Yui that he wasn't even human. "But I do have eyeballs, I just don't feel like using them today. It's too old." Zoltan winks at Yui, and then looks down at Ka Lo. He chuckles, running his hand though his hair. Zoltan also had blood on his hand, so he got a few blood red streaks in his hair. "Ka Lo, you're STILL a senshi. You are SAILORKaLo, don't you forget." He says, blasting a fireball at the missiles come towards Aries. Zoltan didn't care to help anyone else.

"OK I'm going to try something," Pluto says,"Garnet Ball protect me! Time Keys come forth!"She yells as her time keys come out of nowhere."Time Keys take us forward in time!"

"Don't worry- I've got you, Ka Lo," Yui says as he points a hand at Ka Lo and makes her float in the air. He tries to get her away from the region of the bombs. "She's a Sailor Senshi, but she's different, " he says quietly to Zoltan in the few remaining moments before the missiles hit.

"Ah ha!" Zoltan says, in a victorious sort of way. His smile was rather sly. "I know she doesn't exactly cooperate with the Sol Senshi, so she's ok." He states, with upside-down V eyes. *But to me, it sounds like you have at least a small crush on her!* Then he laughs at his own thoughts, and pats Yui on the back. "Good luck, they're coming down pretty quickly."

Uranus sees Pluto use the key, and screams to her, 'Hurry up! We just ran out of chances!' She grabs Aries and carries her to the door, moving as fast as only those can who are faced with imminent death. If the doors are there, she shoves them open and steps in.

AK feels one o the missles hit him. He picks up his pace at running and stops behind Uranus. Then he goes through the doors w/ Uranus and stays w/ Aries, till death due them part.....

"I'm not Sailor Ka Lo!" Ka Lo said annoyed. "I'm Ka Lo Ktchul, princess of my own planet and excluded from it. There's a reason I don't have the same outfit as them. See! Pants, long sleeved shirt. I want to be aside from them, I'm just using them..." She peers down at them all, trying to get Aries. "Fools..." she mumbles under her breath. "I'd rather save myself, then any of them."

Zoltan smacks himself in the head. "You still are a senshi, Ka Lo. A senshi is a solider and that's what you are! I don't wanna' argue with you anymore, so will you just shut up and get used to it?! And you are right about one thing. They ARE fools." He takes a CD player out of his pocket, that seems to be neverending, and puts the headphones on. Then he takes out a CD of his favorite songs, opens it up, and puts it in. Zoltan then closes it back up and listens to the music, of course. *Now the only person I can possibly hear is Yui.* He thinks, relaxing. Zoltan sits down in thin air and yawns.

"I'm not a soldier as of now," Ka Lo mumbles to herself. 'I'm going to live out my dream, as soon as I find my stupid future husband...'

"And I know what a senshi is!" Ka Lo shouted. "I mean I'm not Sailor trash. I'm sick of people mistaking me as it!" She looked at him not listening and started to grit her teeth. *He's not even listening to me,* she thought angry.

"If anyone needs to get to the future then they better hurry up!" Pluto screams trying to keep the gate from closing.

Kiki's head shot up and she looked around. "Geez all the yelling can't you see some people are sleeping here?" she asked in a soft voice. Her long, normally purple braid was now a greenish/blue color. "Whats going on anyway?" she asked Uranus and AK. "Who the heck are you people?" she stood up. "Uh does anyone know theres missles?" she pointed up and backed up.

'Uh-oh.' Uranus smiles wryly. 'I have a sneaking suspicion we need to perform an exorcism. Where's Rei-chan when you need her?' She turns to Kiki. 'In order of your questions; yes, if I knew I'd tell you, my name is Sailor Uranus, yes. Any more questions?'

"Ka Lo-chan." Elda looked from Pluto's gate to Ka Lo. "Ka Lo, if you aren't going to go with Pltuo and the others in the gate then I'm not either. I'm staying with you." With that she turned and watched the missiles falling downward. 'But how to get away without getting hurt, that's the hard part.' She thought to her self

AK recovers from one o the missles. And looks at Kiki. *Kiks told me about this once...So now she's Erika...great..* "Erika, My name is Kyo Omoi and also Archer Knight. There's a bunch o **** goin on here and we're tryin to get away from it. Just stick w/ us for a while. And along the way you'll figure out what the hell is goin on." He says tersely as he waits for Pluto to do sumthin.

Uranus looks at AK quizzically. 'Do you know what happened to her? If you do, tell me, in case I need to know.'

"Elda," Ka Lo said nicely. "You need to go. If you stay you'll die. We'll meet again in the future, don't worry. Maybe you should go help Uranus and AK."

Uranus doesn't give Elda any time to decide. She darts out of the doors, grabs Elda by the arm, and drags her back in. 'See you in the future, Ka Lo.'

"NO! URANUS!!" Elda struggles to get away from Uranus. "Let me go right NOW!" She stomps on Uranus' foot(*Sweat drop*) and shakes her arm trying to get free of her grasp. "I am NOT leaving without Ka Lo!"

"Everyone hurry up the gate is about to close!"Pluto screams *hurry up everyone!* she thinks.

Uranus hangs onto her. Through gritted teeth she says, 'Yes you are. Ka Lo will be fine. And we'll only be gone a couple minutes. Now come on! I need your opinion on something. Or do I have to knock you unconscious and drag you away?' She starts walking firmly toward the doors, and yanks Elda in after her.

"But I..Ura-chan..." Elda sighed and grumbled. Then gave in. "AUGH! Fine! Just get your hands offa me okay." Elda shakes her arm and walks willingly with her.

Erika (Kiki for those who are confused)looked confused as to how this man knew her. "Whose Kiki?"she asked in her soft way. I'll go with you but only because I have no one else to trust here" she said looking at AK. "Now whats going on here?" she said her bright light green eyes shining. Her hair seemed to automatically fall out of its braid and around her face, making her look like a damsel in distress/ (lol)

Ka Lo looked down surprised and just shook her head. *There all fools,* Ka Lo thought. *But it's nice to think I have friends now.*

Uranus lets go of Elda and hurries back through the doors. 'Don't worry about Ka Lo. She'll be fine. I promise.' She smiles at Elda.

To Elda, Saturn, Pluto, Uranus, Venus, Erika, and AK, and anyone else: Sailor Pluto's Garnet Ball protection Sphere forms a shield around everyone that protects you from the lower missiles. Sailor Saturn's independent attack, glowing from her forehead, makes you feel relaxed and calm even when there are missiles slamming into the force field. Sailor Elda's "Atmosphere" engulfs the oncoming missiles in blackness, and makes them slow down significantly- in fact, they might have stopped altogether if it wasn't for that darn gravity. "Black Hole" destroys a few more missiles, allowing Sailor Pluto to hold open the time gate for just a minute longer. "Mercury Bubbles Blast" doesn't do much . The missiles are too heavy to be affected by it. Luckily, Aries' "Zodiac Star Explosion" ignites the missiles in front of her-- protecting Aries and AK . The next moment, you are gone! Zap! You see a white light for a moment, and then you're gone. ^_^. To Ka Lo, Zoltan, and Yui: You are floating high in the air when the explosion happens. You can't see the ground or the city at all because it's all obliterated. All the little townhouses and things get blown up. The clock tower too. You are blown back by the force and you nearly hit the ceiling. The robot falls back destroyed. It was a self-destructing attack. After all of that, the place seems really dark after the explosion. There are little bits of ash and stuff still falling down. Everything's all black. There's a long pause while absolutely nothing happens. The doors to the next room are there wide open. Yui floats down, and into the next room. "Cool... I wanted to be the first one in here...". He looks around the room that supposedly has the blood-engine in it. "I guess it's time to start killing everyone... Better get a head start," he thinks out loud. He sets up the room so that gravity no longer applies here. It takes some concentration. And about a minute and a half. He also takes out a handful of the blades from his jacket and flings them around the room. Putting Sailor Ka Lo down on the ground, he then asks her and Zoltan: "Do you guys want to help, or what?" Around this time, everyone else blinks in- in pretty much the same panicked positions as before. {grin} About this room: It's a throne room. On one side, there is a throne. It's not pretty and gold- rather it has a lot of wires coming out of it, and it's very funky-looking. On the other side of the room is another chair that is smaller and plain-looking. Everything is made out of metal. As soon as you blink into existence, you start going up because there's no gravity here. Yui is the only one standing on the ground.^_^.

*On the ground a second, then I float back up,* Ka Lo thinks annoyed. She closes her eyes as her necklace shines again, then it places her on the ground solidly. She sighs relieved, just swiping her hand through her hair. "I'll help," Ka Lo says and walks over.

Uranus, who had jumped through the portal, laughs as she starts floating away. 'Cool!' She bounces off the ceiling and scrapes her ankle on one of the blades(there's no force to them, so they don't do much damage). 'Uncool.' She drifts back down and ends up by the throne. She grabs onto it to hold herself in place, and pushes herself down to stand on the ground in front of it. 'Gee, let me guess. You want the gemstones. Well,' she reaches behind her back like a magician, 'this one is mine!' she pulls out the third stone. 'And you can't have it.'

Saturn feels relieved when she sees Ka Lo still there, but was really disoriented now because of there not being any gravity. "What's going on?!" She asked aloud, to no one in particular. At that moment she tried to 'swim' or propel herself towards the chair on the other side of the room so she wouldn't be just floating amiss in the zero-gravity room. "Ka Lo you okay??" Apparently she didn't care about Zoltan or Yui...

Ka Lo turns around to see everyone else there and floating. "I'm fine," she says to Saturn kindly. "And so are all you I take it." She turns back around trying to see what she was doing.

"Wow, dude.." Elda floated, then turned upside down. She quickly shoved her skirt erm, up in an attempt to be modest and then turned herself back to how she was. Elda saw Ka Lo and smiled at her. She then flew/flaoted/swam o.O over to Uranus and the big throne and sat down on it and clung to it to keep from floating back up. "Man this place is messed up.>_<"

'Yeah, I know.' Uranus seems almost abnormally happy. 'I guess this was Yui-baka's idea of an interesting surprise for us. He is in dire need of a cure for being alive.'

Zoltan floats around in the air. He chuckles, and then looks over at Yui. "Of course I want to help." Zoltan then levitates over to Yui. He takes off his headphones and then puts the CD player, with the headphones attatched and the CD inside, in his pocket. "But where is this machine we've been speaking of?" His eyes showed that he had much curiosity. Zoltan obviously wanted to see what this machine could really do.

"Yeah," Ka Lo said quickly. "You keep talking about it, but I don't know all that it can do. It might be valuable to me."

"Argg.."Pluto groans as she swims over to Sailor Elda,"Can I hang onto this too Tori-chan?" she asks.

Ka Lo looked around at everyone floating and closed her eyes again. Her necklace glowed as everyone was taken away of their floating. "That was getting annoying," she said huffily. The only bad part about this, is everyone who was up high, now was falling to the ground So you don't have to hold onto anything anymore.

Pluto let go of the chair that Sailor Elda was in,"Thanks Ka Lo." she said as she got used to the gravity again.

Uranus also lets go of the chair. 'Thank you very much, Ka Lo.' She rest her hand against the chair to balance herself.

Saturn lets go of the chair and lands on the ground, "Thanks Ka Lo!!!"

*Great, now they're all thanking me,* Ka Lo thought annoyed. *When all I was doing was trying to save me some sanity.*

AK instinctively pulls Erika into his arms to protect her. His grey-green eyes shown brightly. "Please trust me. Those people (he pointed to Yui,Zoltan,and Ka Lo) can't be trusted right now. Yui is trying to kill us and Zoltan is in no way gonna mind that. He'll join in w/ Yui if his snobby-ness feels like it. Idk about Ka Lo, I just dont trust her. Just stick w/ me...." He pulls out his bow and arrows. He takes two arrows out and aims them at Yui's shoulders. "SOUL SHATTER!!" He yelled as he let his fury towards Yui explode into his voice. His blazing white arrow made a mad dash for its intended target.

Erika looked at AK surprsied as he protected her. No one had ever cared to protect her before and she didn't even know this man. Her light green eyes looked at him as he attacked the other man. She shivered at the sound of his voice, basically not because she was scared but because she was excited and thrilled at the sound of it. She felt safe with him, protected from everything. "I trust you" she whispered softly her hair falling acorss his cheek as she held him closer, afraid what the other man might counterattack with.

*Never a minutes peace,* Ka Lo thinks to herself, as AK attacks. Instantly she attacks back. "Star Dash Break!" she aims it right at him, trying to aim as far from Erika in his arms, as she can. "Can't we get a little time to work here AK?!" Ka Lo asks angry. "This is important." She takes out her sword advancing towards him. "This is no time for fighting, but I don't mind a little quarrel."

Zoltan laughs. "Go Ka Lo." He whispers, obviously wanting Archer Knight to lose. Then he turns back to Yui, smirking. "Do you have any idea about how this machine looks?" Zoltan asks, sweatdropping. He knew that if they didn't know how it looked, it would be pretty hard to tell if a machine was truly IT or not. Unless it would stand out from everything in the room, of course.

Yui clenches his teeth. "it was supposed to be annoying, ka lo, that's how i was going to win," he says, getting a big teardrop on his face. He responds to Zoltan- "I think these chairs ARE the machines, I don't know- I guess they need to be turned on." He notices that there are little receptacles by the two chairs. There are three of them and they're about the right size for the gemstones to go into. *That's how they go in, and how you turn it on--* He thinks. *But I must be alone when it goes on, so I have to kill the Sailor Senshi.* In response to Sailor Uranus: Just to be fair, Yui pulls out the blue rock he has as well and shows it to Sailor Uranus. (ooc- the rock you have is orange, Uranus, sorry I never said that.) "These two would certainly look better next to each other.... Give it up." With that, Sailor Uranus gets flipped upside-down. Your feet are in the air. He sends the four blades, from the four corners of the room, in your direction. They're all heading towards your stomach. "--Gah!!" Yui suddenly yells as he sees Archer Knight's arrows coming at him. He doesn't react fast enough and the arrows go ahead and hit him, pushing him back to the opposite wall. It looks like it *really* hurts. Yui gets up again, and now he appears to be very angry at AK. "You..." He pulls out five more blades from his jacket, holding each one between each of his fingers. "Get out of the way, Ka Lo! He's mine!"

Saturn looks bewildered at Ka Lo, *how could she...why is she...I thought she was on our side...* She falls to her knees still staring at Ka Lo. When Yui starts yelling and sends the blades at Uranus she snaps back to her senses, "Ka Lo you maybe against us, but we just can't let Yui or you do this" She mutters and takes a breath. As the shining blades cross her eyes again Saturn dashes over infront of Uranus, without any concern for herself, "Ecstacy"

"Uranus!" Pluto screams. *I have to do something,we have been friends forever* "Garnet Ball,protect Uranus!"she screams "Dead Scream!" she yells aiming for the blades *Oh god,please don't let it hit Haurka-chan*she thinks

AK rolls on the ground w/ Erika to get out of the way of Ka Lo's attack. He stands back up and places Erika behind him and takes out his bow once again. "How can you trust him? We dont need him dead but we dont need him all that alive. Just alittle messed. So back off Ka Lo. Ya noticed I wasnt puttin "sailor" in front of "Ka Lo".." He pulls his bow w/ an arrow ready in his hands. He looks at Erika, w/ his green eyes turnin to blue. "I--" And he turns back to Ka Lo.

Zoltan looks at the chairs. Those chairs were the machines?! He then grins slyly, looking at the chairs. Zoltan levitates in the air and tries to find his way over to the chairs. Unfortunately for the senshi, he was ready to blast anyone that got in his way. *If I can get over to those things, I can protect them until Yui gets the other gemstones...*

Ka Lo gasps when she sees AK's attack hit. "Go right ahead," she says and steps aside. After that her sword disappears. *I want that power,* she decided to herself. *And I'll do anything I can to get it.* She closes her eyes as her necklace fades from around Yui and to herself. "This belongs to me," she whispered to herself. *Better make my last battle memorable...*

Erika looked at AK, then Ka Lo. "You what?" she asked AK softly. "Why... are you fighting each other? Are you not on the same team?" she was confused. "May I help in this battle? Aries Crystalize" she muttered and now she was wearing a long dark purple dress with a slit in one side and she had long dark blue gloves on. A pair of large dark blue wings came out from her back. "I dont want to fight anyone... but if I have to" she said in her soft way.

AK says to Erika. "You just may have to fight..." He watches Ka Lo carefully.

Sailor Saturn jumps in front of Sailor Uranus to protect her from the knives. She whispers "Ecstasy" and tiny explosions happen right in front of her seconds before the knives hit. Sailor Pluto's "Dead Scream" goes off at the same time. In short, there's a really big blast. The four blades go everywhere. Luckily, Garnet Ball protects Uranus & Saturn so that they are not struck. Time to get AK! Yui notices that Archer Knight has another arrow cocked and ready to go. As soon as Ka Lo gets out of his line of sight, he sends a piercing gaze at AK, and psychically twists your arm backwards! It was the arm with which you were pulling back the bow. An intense pain shoots up your entire arm. "What are you going to do now, archer boy-" as he says this, he advances towards Sailor Aries with a blade in his hand. To Sailor Aries: You suddenly feel yourself flattened against the wall! It is as if a huge magnetic force is pulling your entire body in that direction. It's very difficult to move your limbs off even a few inches. Yui is walking calmly towards you, and he wants to slice your throat right in front of AK.

Ka Lo runs over to Yui's side pleadingly. "You can't hurt her!" she shouts. "Stay with AK, he's the one who attacked you! She hasn't done anything. Please, you practically already won!"

AK yelps w/ pain. "See...Ka..Lo..You cant trust him!" He puts the arrow in the bow again and uses his teeth to hold it in place and steady's the bow w/ his good arm. "COSMIC DARKNESS!!!!!!!!" He roars spilling out all the emotions he holds for Erika and a dark area begins to surround Yui as AK's two arrows come at him. AK runs over to Aries and stands in front of her. "I WONT let him hurt you. At all. You shouldnt have to use any of your energy on this sleeze." He says as he holds his bow in his good hand.




Saturn was relieved that the blades were gone, unfortunatly that feeling couldn't last long. "What the heck!" She looks at Yui advancing on Aries, *that b@$t@rd* She looks at Ka Lo, "She's still just talking to him..." Saturn starts twirling her glaive, "Silence...", dark purple energy emerges from the tip of her glaive, "ASTRAL!" As soon as the energy starts to surround Yui, Saturn falls on her knees, exhausted from using so much energy...

"Who said I trusted him?" Ka Lo asked calm. "This is all a game to me... A game you could never possibly win, no matter how hard you fight." She steps next to AK. "This has to stop, you found what you need, now go get it. Then you can kill everyone in one blow!"

Aries looks at both Ka Lo and AK. "Why are you protecting me?" she asked trying to move. She bit her lip as she felt pulled in all directions, it causing pain to just try and move. "Please don't get yourself killed for me..." she tried to reach out to push them away. "I can take care of myself, I am CrystalAries afterall" she said bravely. "Crystal Mirage Surround" she mumbled thinking if she could make more then one of her she could still fight.

"You can hardly move," Ka Lo argued, looking back at her. "Take it easy with attacking, until you can move without pain; hopefully more then one of you will help." She pauses a second, then in a gentle voice says, "Believe it or not, I am on their team..."

Zoltan looks over at Yui. He blinks, looking at Ka Lo and Archer Knight, and then at Aries who is standing behind them. *Foolish.* Zoltan thinks, being the same as usual. Well, the way he usually was around these people anyways. He crosses his arms and sits in the air, his orange eyes flaring for no reason at all. *I hope Yui kills them all...No, I don't. YES I DO!* It seemed like he was arguing with himself for some reason. Zoltan didn't care at all if Archer Knight was killed, but maybe a little bit for Aries. He levitates over to one of the chairs, and starts looking it over. "Interesting." A simple, mumbled word escaped Zoltan's mouth as he looks at the chair.

AK sees Saturn on the ground, tired. He races over to her and takes her in his arms. He goes back to take his place beside of Ka Lo. *I still dont quite trust her....*

"Stop it right now!" Pluto screams at Yui , then out of nowhere she runs and jumps on his back hitting him on the head with her time staff,"Just stop it right now!"she screams again.

A sphere of darkness surrounds Yui and Aries. All that can be seen, slicing through the darkness, is AK's two arrows- propelled by his eternal love for Aries-chan. Yui puts his arm out in that direction, bending the space in front of him, so one arrow flies to the left and the other goes to the right- merely scraping his clothing as they go past. Sailor Pluto jumps onto Yui's back (o.O?) and starts bashing him in the head with her time staff. Yui freaks out. "Ow-- Allright, ok-- Ow!!-- All right, I'll-- Ouch!! stop!" Yui leaves and runs away into the corner of the room, holding his head. "Ow," he says indignantly, after regaining something of his composure. "It seems you are right, Ka Lo.... Maybe we can work something out with these Sailor Senshi." "...How about if we go ahead and start the blood-engine, and then we fight over it?" He shrugs as though it makes no difference to him. He takes out the rock he has. And looks at it. *But who will sit in the two chairs,* he thinks. One chair was a throne, and the other is made out of wood and metal.

There are two Aries. (Arieses?) Yui lets her off the wall. Hard.

Saturn smiles as Archer Knight picks her up but get's out of his grasp, "I'm okay - really" She looks at Yui, "Why would we want to get the blood-engine, refresh my memory?" Her voice sounded somewhat hostile but not like she was attacking him.

Yui looks up as he thinks in response to your question. "You're here because you... because you wanted to destroy it. CRAP!!" ^_^ he says as he realizes that this might not work.........

Zoltan sweatdrops at everyone. "Ok. I'm not in this fight. Call me netural." He mumbles, levitating back into the air. Zoltan looks down at them and crosses his arms, sweatdropping once again. *Why don't you do it that easy way?* Even in his mind he was being sarcastic. *Grab the three stones, cram everyone on the two chairs, and then start the blood engine up. Then you can kick everyone off of it! I'll take the chance to snatch it!* He crosses his arms and rolls his eyes. "They just gotta' do it their way. One destroys it, one starts it and destroys everything else." Zoltan flies over to the entrance, and raises an eyebrow at them. As usual, he wishes to be a specator. Zoltan does a flip in the air, out of boredom. Now there's nothing to do, but cause trouble. *Maybe I should cause some trouble...Mess them Sols up! I hope Yui gets that blood engine. Wait, I'm netural, I don't care.* He gets a small fireball on his finger, as he plots an idea...

Smiling at Pluto's acts, Ka Lo looks down at Aries. "You okay?" she asks rather too nicely. "Don't take anything I do personably. I am the Senshi of Trickery. Sometimes it comes in handy."

Aries moved around, glad she could now. She looked at AK shocked, but didnt go over. then she realized Ka Lo was talking to her. "Yes I am fine" she said in her soft voice. "And its alright, can I help in any way?"

AK nods his head blankly towards Saturn's smile and watches Aries again. *Damnit Kyo.. focus on the situation here...Who sits in the two chairs...?* AK thinks..and thinks...and finally he goes over to Pluto. "What should we do? I dont trust Yui as far as I can throw him. And that prolly wouldnt be very far cuz I can't hardly touch him sooo. Anyways, who and y will (we) sit in the chairs?" AK asks and waits for her response.

"I don't trust him either AK," Pluto says,"I had a lucky shot jumping on his back...I should have bashed his head in..but I thought that maybe he could be of some help...I guess whoever wants to sit in the chairs can...but they have to be ready for anything..."

Chibi-Luna runs over to Sailor Elda. She jumps onto Elda's shoulder, and asks, "What are you going to do, Sailor Elda?"

"Dunno Luna.. I'm having a hard time deciding weither I should try and distroy Yui and/or Zoltan or not. I don't like to hurt people, I really don't but..." She stopped. Elda just sat in the big chair and watched everyone.. 'Man, what am I gonna do..' She thought to herself.

"Right now you don't have to do anything," Ka Lo told Aries. "Unless you want to be one of the people in the chairs. I wouldn't mind going myself, however I won't go if it's two people from our side."

"Maybe..I could go Ka Lo-chan?" She fidgeted with her staff. "Hey," Elda looked up. "Isn't Yui hurt..? Didn't AK hit him with an arrow or something?"

"Yeah he is," Ka Lo laughed. "Can't you see the wound? Anyway, I really don't think any of us should go. We should just destroy the thing right now."

*Darn right I'm hurt,* Yui thinks. (Hehe, you can tell what he's thinking from the look on his face.) "Miss Ka Lo," he says, strangely quietly to K.L.-chan... "You can't keep switching sides. Pick one or the other."

"Why, what do you mean?" Ka Lo asked innocently. "I'm on the Sailor Team. However, I don't mind siding with others to get what I want, and right now I want that power revealed. Why do you think I chose a life of crime? Because it gives everything I could hope for."

"Well then, if he is hurt how is he?"o.o Elda blinked and poked Yui. "'Ello ha. How are you?"

Zoltan sweatdrops, and looks up. *Great. Now they have a side-switcher.* He rolls his eyes and crosses his arms, looking back over at them. Zoltan forgot he had the fireball on his finger, and another sweatdrop rolls down his head. "Whoops." With that, he tosses the fireball at Archer Knight. He just felt like hurting Archer Knight today.

"I knew I was right to keep on distrusting you, ZolTAN." AK says as he steps quickly out of the way of the fireball. He walks over to Aries. "What should we do now? IM not sure who should sit in the chairs or even if we should sit in the chairs or destroy them..." He thinks out loud, hopelessly looking into her pretty eyes.

Yui answers Sailor Elda . "I'm okay, I'm just a little singed, that's all."..... "But things like this happen... I don't get along with people, you know." He looks down for a moment.

"It's Zoltin you @$$hole!" Zoltan's eyebrow twitches, as he tried to hold himself back from pointing the middle finger at Archer Knight. He hated when people pronounced his name like it should be! He almost hated it as much as when people called him Zolly (which he tried to ignore) or when people told him to speak English. Zoltan gets another fireball and chucks it at Archer Knight, hoping to catch him off-guard. *Damn him!*

Saturn teardrops as 'ZolTAN' and Archer Knight, *when will they learn* "So Yui, why don't you go in one of the chairs - unless there's something unsafe about it?" Her voice sounded casual and sweet.

Pluto walked next to Saturn and just stared at Yui trying to figure him out.She sends a mental message to Saturn *Hotaru-chan, I just cant figure him out...at first I thought that I really liked him..sometimes he is so nice and other times he's a real creep..guys say that girls are weird..I say its the other way around...what do you think about him??*

Aries shrugged at AK. I'm not sure... I'll sit on one I guess" she saw Zoltans attack coming and she pushed Ak out of the way. She looked at him confused. "Why did you do that Zoltan?" she said it right. "I know he prounonced your name wrong but thats going a little over board, although the attack is cool. How about you attack the bad guy instead?" she asked, her voice not sarcastic or rude. She put her hand on her hip and looked at everyone.

Ak looked at Aries for a minute, unsure whether to reprimand her and tell her that he could take care of himself, or thank her, afterall they just did meet. He chose to be nice. ^_^ AK's blue eyes sparkled. "Thanx Aries. Its ok, the guy just hates me is all. And personally I dont like his attitude. He wants to kill the Sol Senshi to get revenge(AK makes a blah blah blah kinda hand movement) yatta yatta yatta. So when it comes time after he seen this great power or whatever, he's gonna help Yui kill us Sol-Senshi-lovers. LA-DI-FRIGGIN-DA!!(he does the little swirl motion w/ his finger)" AK finishes his speech and walks over to a corner and lean and wait for someone to do something.

"Yeah, well it happens to the best of us Yui-chan." Elda popped up out of the chair and walked over to Yui. "But y'know, people might be act better towards you if you were a touch nicer and don't try to kill 'em.." She said, smiling. Hopeful to make a new friend and maybe even make him good.

"...Well-" Yui responds, looking down with a teardrop on his head-- "You're probably right, BUT I happen to get a little edgy when it comes to my survival....." He turns to Sailor Saturn and answers her question, "I'm not going to sit in those things. I'm as scared as you are about them. I don't want to do something wrong and get vaporized-" he grins "Do you want to do it???" he asks nicely.

"Get over it Yui-chan, not everyones out to get'cha." Elda said and gave him her trademark hug-glomp.^.^ She then looked around at everyone. "Alright, if NO one wants to get in the damned chair then I WILL!" Elda grumbled. "You guys are a bunch of scardy cats.."

Venus had obviously fallen asleep where the robot once was. She wakes up. "WHERE AM I!? GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!?"

"Okay Elda," Ka Lo said calmly. "I'll go with you, because if something does happen, maybe I can still get you out of there." She smiles warmly, first time in a while (Well, first time doing it warmly because she did smile when Pluto jumped on Yui). She stares at the chairs nervous and just takes a deep breath. "Alright, let's go."

"Okay Ka Lo-chan!" Elda smiled. "Now how does that thing work..?@.@" She sweat dropped, looking at the chair.

Saturn gets big-eyed as Yui says 'vaporized', "What - Tori-chan we aren't cowards I just wanted to know why Yui-chan did want to go in it himself" She takes a deep breath and smiles, "Tori-cha, Ka Lo-chan be careful k?"

"Sorry Saturn, it's just that no one wanted to go in.." She nodded at her last request. "Yeah, we will be." Elda walked towards the chair.

Ka Lo followed. "Uh... You want that one... Or that one?" She laughed nervously. "I guess neither one is that safe right? Okay, here we go... If we get hurt it won't matter, because it would..." She sighed, "save the Earth or whatever. The one place I hate, I'm fighting for. Is there something wrong with this picture?"

"Don't be so drab about this. I mean c'mon, would you Really like it if this whole world got distroyed?" Elda asked her friend. "By the way, you pick a chair, I don't care which I get.."

"I will take the smaller one." Ka Lo walks over to it, hesitating to sit down. "You get the... Throne..."

Zoltan's eyebrow twitches. Archer Knight just DID NOT understand his point of view in this situtation. *Maybe you'd understand if there was an evil being eatting at you every moment! How would it feel to be possessed since you were a minute old?! I was lucky to break the shield! Damn him!* "I have a reason for my not to be pronounced that way." He hisses at Archer Knight, brushing some of his hair behind his ear. "How would you feel if there was an evil being that has the power to destroy every last universe and dimension was eatting at you every moment?! How would you like to be possessed when you only experienced a minute in this world? HIS NAME'S ZOLTAR. I was called Zoltar back then, then my name switched to ZOLTAN. And then when I pushed the evilness away, I changed the pronouncation to Zoltin! Ok? OK! NOW DON'T CALL ME THAT AGAIN!!!" Zoltan floats down infront of Archer Knight, grabs his Golden Sword (that thing was still floating next to him), and points it at his throat. "Or the head comes off." His eyes seemed unusually harsh, and his eyes had a rather evil glow to them.

AK completely ignores Zoltan. He looks up at him w/ steely blue eyes. "If you don't take the sword from my throat I will show you why I live forever. Actually no, I'm not wasting my energy on you when I have THIS mission to take care of." He stays perfectly calm. And instead of waiting on Zoltan to take away the sword his pushes the sword away from the hilt and walks over to a different spot to lean and think.

"I'll show you why I'll always be living..." Zoltan hisses underneath his breath, letting go of the Golden Sword and letting it float at his side. *At least he gets to have a lover. Think that way Archer Knight. I'm destined to be alone! No one to take away this pain! What a gotanai!* Gotanai is a bad word in one of the katrillions of languages he knew. *Maybe I should back to helping Yui, so I can try to destroy that gotanai. I'll awaken Zoltar if I have to!* "Oh, and Aries," Zoltan turns to Aries, still having that unusual harsh, evil glow to his eyes. "I'm not on your side. I AM on the evil side." His voice was also a harsh hiss, that could chill just about anyone. With that, he levitates into the air and keeps his distance once again.

Yui gets glomped by Elda-chan. "Actually, I--" before he could say more, Elda goes off to do something else... Yui hesitates, thinking about following her so he could finish his sentence-- but finally, hangs back and gives it up.

Saturn looks as Ka Lo gets in the chair, *I hope they becareful* She tried her best to ignore Zoltan and the little war that he was causing, mumbling "Why can't they just stop"

Chibi-Luna hops up to Sailor Venus, out there with a giant robot who was blown to smithereens, along with everything else that was blown up(and Venus somehow survived {grin}). Chibi-Luna explains to Sailor Venus that everyone is inside the throne room, and Sailor Ka Lo and Sailor Elda were just about to try out the machine now. To everyone in the throne room: All of a sudden, everything starts shaking!! It's not shaking from an explosion, it's more like the general atmosphere of when a space-shuttle is taking off. It's not coming from the strange chairs either. Then, to your left, a rift through time opens up, shedding lots of light into the room. Then out of this portal, you hear the high-heeled clicking of another villain!! It's another Crystal Senshi. She has long blond hair that goes down to her waist and is wearing a greenish fuku. Before she even came completely through the portal, she had started talking- "Oh, so this is the place with the machine in it, I must commend you, Yui Takasuza, at least you've done something right for once." After she steps out of the portal, it closes behind her and everything stops shaking. She looks around and notices that there are Sailor Senshi everywhere. "Hmm, Sailor Senshi everywhere... So why are you guys just standing around here??". She looks around curiously. Yui is about to say something to her, but she cuts him off, and continues- "You probably came to destroy the machine, but you can't destroy it without turning it on anyway, so let's go ahead and do it, the alignment's coming and we don't have all day," she grins evilly, waits one second for someone to respond, and then continues, "Don't tell me you don't know how to turn it on- well, you use the three stones, luckily, all you have to do is bring them inside the room, which you have done for me." This woman (Crystal Scarab) quickly shoots two small spheres of electricity out of her hands. One hits Ka Lo, and the other hits Sailor Elda. It doesn't hurt at all, outside of the weird feeling of static electricity, but you are pushed back into the two chairs. The three stones begin to glow. The whole room lights up. You realize that the wires and such coming out of the chairs are connected to a large machine lying just outside the walls. To Sailor Ka Lo: The chair morphs while you are sitting in it. These straps come out of nowhere, and they tie your hands and feet down onto the chair! You're tied into the chair and you can't get out. To Sailor Elda: You're fine ^_^. You feel a little weird as the machine begins to turn on.




Elda's flung into the chair, feeling very dizzy. "Whoa..@.@" She looked at Ka Lo. "Ka Lo-chan, are you alright??" She shot the Crystal girl an evil look. 'Great, another evil little pal..' She thought. 'What now..?'

Zoltan just sweatdrops. *Oh please!* He just sits there in the air, with his arms crossed and his eyes still with that harsh, evil look. *I wonder what I should do?* Zoltan obviously didn't want to help the senshi, and that machine seemed pretty powerful. *How's about I help the evil side on this one? I am pretty evil anyhow.* Even his mental voice was sly and cunning as he looked over at Crystal Scarab. The Crystal Senshi DID want to destroy those senshi with the machine's power, and he wanted to destroy the senshi too. Maybe he could work something out with them...

Ka Lo was flown back and now in the chair. She moved around frantically, then just gave up. *What am I going to do now?* She turns and looks at Elda realizing she was talking to her. "What? I - Uh... Don't know. I feel okay.... Are you alright?" It was then she noticed only her was strapped and she got an annoyed look, then just sighed. "Why am I tied down?!" Ka Lo shouted angry.

Saturn looked at the Crystal senshi in a confused matter, "Another one?...Tori-chan? KA LO!" She looked back at the Crystal Senshi, "Why is she tied down!?" She seemed paniced *this has to be bad...*

Elda rested her face on her arm. "I'm fine Ka Lo-chan, I just wanna know why YOUR tied down.." She sat up straight and glared at Crystal Scarab. "Did you have something to do with this, girly." Elda's voice sounded harsh and angry, unlike her.

*So these are the Crystal Senshi Nezumi talked about....hmmmmmm? A little too forceful for me....* AK thinks as he goes over to stand beside Aries.

Pluto sends a mental message to Sailor Elda and Ka Lo *be carefull and dont worry if anything happens I will be here for you*

*Okay Pluto...* Ka Lo sent back. *Watch out for yourself too. Now I think anything could happen.*

*'Alright Puu-chan, I trust you. But don't trust that Crystal senshi person..'* Elda told Pluto. "Can we uhm, do this now? I don't like waiting and I just wanna get this over with."

Venus grabs Chibi-Luna and puts Luna on her shoulder. She runs into the throne room. "Okay CHibi-Luna!"

AK tries to keep himself steady and holds onto Aries to keep her steady as well.

Uranus flips herself upright(finally) and drops back onto the ground. 'Thanks, guys. I disalike being skewered on principle. Now,' she strolls idly over to Yui and the Crystal Senshi, 'What, exactly, do you propose to do with this machine? Oh, and Zolt,' she glances over to ZolTAN, 'if you're as neutral as you say you are, you should stop attacking people. Look at it this way, if you pick sides, you might end up on the one that loses.'

Zoltan just shrugs. "I hate that gotanai, Archer Knight. That's the only guy I AM attacking." His voice still sounds sly and cunning, since he obviously still wanted to hurt Archer Knight. Zoltan didn't exactly want to pick sides, he was just considering helping the evil side. Then again, good always seems to win. Bor-ING! *The only gotanai I know is Archer Knight, so I'm gonna' keep on attacking him!*

In response to Sailor Uranus' question, Crystal Scarab turns to you, and laughs- her cheeks turning red from the forcefulness of her haughtiness. "We're going to use it to destroy the Moon Kingdom, duh." She starts laughing again cause she's so full of herself. Yui turns away from her, leaning against the wall and holding the spot where he was hit by AK. "Yeah whatever-" he tells Sailor Uranus. "...I couldn't really care less about the stupid machine. Her highness over there and the others made me do all of this." He says that part cynically and with much derision directed towards the Crystal Senshi. "Shut up Yui," she shoots back. "Now go back to headquarters before I find a reason to put you out of your misery." "You leave me alone!!" Yui screams at her. "For God's Sakes!!! The only thing I hate more than Sailor Senshi is you guys!!" Then both of them are interrupted by everything else that's going on. To Sailor Ka Lo: Suddenly, you feel your energy drained from you violently. It just happens so quickly- you feel a sinking feeling as though you were dunked under water. Electricity crackles around you, and you still can't get out from the position you are in. You feel as if the entire machine is running on the power of your life. To Sailor Venus: Chibi-Luna looks up at you. "I'm worried about Sailor Ka Lo," she says. She hides her head and turns into a little fuzzball.^.^ To Sailor Elda: The throne you are in begins to morph as well. Tiny wires come out of the chair and poke into your skin. Once again, it doesn't hurt. You feel connected. You feel empowered. To be more precise, you can now destroy anything you want to just by thinking about it.. Just say the word, and it goes "boom".

Realizing what has just happened, Crystal Scarab suddenly tries to get the throne. "Get off there-- it's mine!!" She yells to Sailor Elda. To Sailor Elda: Off from her belt, she pulls out a chakra. (One of those spinning disk things.) She throws it in your direction. It stops in the air, and hovers in place a few feet over your head. A second later, it sets up a field of electricity around you. It starts trying to send bolts of lightning at you.

Venus sees Ka Lo. "Ka Lo!!!" She gasps. "Don't worry! I'm gonna' help you!" She looks at the machine. "VENUS LOVE CHAIN HARNESS!" She hopes that she can cut off the machine, by doing that.

"Give it a rest Zoltan. Your not gonna "destroy" me and it doesnt matter what attack you use, you won't win. You know evil never wins...DUH.." AK smacks himself in the head(lightly) when he says "duh". AK watches Venus's attack. *I'll help it along. Just to make sure it doesnt injure Ka Lo or Elda.* He thinks. With a quick glance at Crystal Scarab, he pulls out his bow and 15 arrows. "SOUL SHATTER!!!"He yells as all 15 arrows go to different points on the machine, careful ot to hurt Ka Lo or Elda.

"Garnet Ball!"Pluto screams hoping that this will protect them from everyone's attacks and from the chairs,"Protect Sailor Elda and Ka Lo!"

"Uranus - " Ka Lo was going to say something sarcastic when everything happened. Soon she saw everyone's attacks coming towards her, and she can't tell if it's coming for her or the machinery, because it's hard to pay attention. She wants to scream but can't find any voice to do it. *What's going on.....?* she wonders to herself.

Elda flinched as the wires connected to her skin and tried to dig themselfs in. "AUUUGH!" She screamed then stopped as she felt her body become full of enegry, power. She turned and looked at Crystal Scarab with an icey glare. Elda turned her head and looked up at the chakra disc. "Disintegrate." She whispered.

The chakra busts into a hundred pieces, and then disintegrates. "Waahhhh" Crystal Scarab whines for a moment, not believing what just happened. She stands there with her mouth open.

Elda grinned. 'Wow..that's..pretty dang cool..' She thought. She took one look at Ka Lo and got a extremely worried look on her face. "Is Ka Lo alright?!"

Yui runs over to Ka Lo as soon as he discovers her condition. He tries to make her come to her senses. "Ka Lo-san, are you okay? Talk to me, Ka Lo," he pleads next to her. Then he looks over and realizes that there's a bunch of attacks coming.

Saturn looks at Elda then at Ka Lo, *Tori-chan has it under control* "KA LO! -" She saw the attacks coming at the straps around Ka Lo and Yui. She runs over to Yui and pushes him down to the floor so he isn't in the way of the attacks, "Yui-chan you should becareful"

"Good always wins!" Zoltan grumbles underneath his breath, rolling his eyes. "Sounds like we come out of a fairy tale! I mean, can't good LOSE for once?" He hated that good always won. It was a very annoying fact of life, in his eyes. Actually, Zoltan wished that good would lose for once so there would be a new twist! Not the same old thing every old time--It does get pretty boring. *Not like I can become dead, I just come back to life quickly now, but I hope Elda doesn't get any thoughts about killing me! But maybe she could Archer Knight...* His eyes just became more evil at his thoughts, wishing that he could possess Elda and make her kill Archer Knight.

Elda streached her arms, she wasn't used to this power at all yet. She looked at Zoltan. "Actually, Zolly," she called him this just to annoy him, "I've always thought it would interesting to have evil win for once." She shook her head. "But that's a trivial matter right now. Is Ka Lo-chan alright Yui-chan? And Miss Crystal chick." Elda turned to face her. "Leave Yui-chan alone.. He can do what he pleases and he doesn't have to follow you, or anyone else for that matter!" Elda was a tad angry at her for ordering him around.

Ka Lo stared at the blury figured in front of her and tries to make out who it was. Soon she can hear them talking, but can't answer back, then the other figure comes sounding like they were arguing, but Ka Lo is not totally clear. Everything sounds the same and she can't totally figure out exactly how she was feeling. She couldn't tell if she was losing energy. Actually, like, dieing. Or if she wasnât even awake. She closes her eyes once more since they hurt from straining to see.

Venus falls down. "I'm sleepy." She gets up, but she immediatly faints afterwards.

Crystal Scarab turns and sees Venus' attack, along with a shower of arrows hurtling towards the machines. "I lost my most powerful weapon," she says to herself underneath her breath, "But I still have powers of earth and lightning... I don't think so!!" she yells as tries to block the attacks. A wall of solid earth suddenly shoots up between the attacks and their intended targets. Venus Love Chain Harness smashes into it, as well as about half of AK's arrows. Afterwards, the wall of earth shatters from the impact. The rest of the arrows cause some medium-sized explosions in Ka Lo's general area. Luckily Garnet Ball protects Ka Lo, Sailor Saturn and Yui from the explosions. The metal machinery seems to be resistant to the attack, but some of the wires torturing Ka Lo snap. Ka Lo starts to regain her senses a little bit. "Quit it!!" Scarab shouts at Archer Knight, Aries and Venus. She waves her hands at a spot above the three of them. All of a sudden, the ceiling cracks above your heads. It crumbles and several large rocks begin to plummet down from that spot. She hopes the falling rocks will land on the heads of all three of you. That done, Crystal Scarab turns back to Sailor Elda, undaunted by her words. "It makes no difference to me... I came here for that throne and I'm not leaving here without it." She stands right in front of the throne where Sailor Elda is sitting and towers over her. She reaches forward and grabs Sailor Elda's neck, trying to forcibly pull her out of the chair. "You can't kill me- if you did, it would probably kill your friend over there too." (She's referring to Ka Lo.) Scarab's hand surges with thunder as she tries to cause you discomfort and pull you out of the throne.

Chibi-Luna bites Sailor Venus on the belly button. "Get up and get out of the way," the kitten informs Sailor Venus. "A bunch of rocks are about to land on us, you know."

'I don't THINK so.' Uranus steps forward and taps Crystal Scarab on the shoulder, then hits her in the face-HARD. With her other hand, she grabs Crystal Scarab's wrists and yanks her off Elda. 'Then you're not leaving. Carrying the bodies out is a waste of energy, anyway.'

AK sees the oncoming danger and grabs Aries and rolls on the ground to get out of the way of the ceiling debris. "Maybe she's not as powerful as she thinks she is." AK observes as he stands back up and dusts himself and Aries off. (Just for the heck of it...^_^) "SOUL SHATTER!!!" He aims his arrows at the ground below CS.

Ka Lo shakes her head, as some of her vision comes back. She's too drained to say much, but at least manages to look over at Elda angry. "Just kill her...." she demands. "Kill her! Just let her die! It doesn't matter if I die anyway...." She can fill her eyes begin to water, not because she fears death, but because now she believes she'll never have the chance to recreate her planet. *This is a joke. Everything thing is ruined!* she tells herself.

Uranus looks over at Ka Lo, startled. 'What are you talking about? Nobody is going to die. ESPECIALLY not you or Elda. We are going to get you out of there.' An evil smile spreads slowly across her face. 'Hey, let's find a way to get Zolt in that chair instead. If he has unlimited power, he shouldn't be affected.'

*I'm too tired to say more,* Ka Lo decided. Though she had some of her senses, she was still starting to fall asleep and was drained. *I don't think I need to switch places with anyone. Especially Zoltan, who probably wouldn't even do it....*

Elda was thankful that Uranus got Scarab off of her. She turned to look at Ka Lo. "I'm not going to let you die, Ka Lo! And I'm not putting anyone else in that chair unless they want to go! Just look what it did to Ka Lo! I don't want to take the chance of anyone else getting hurt." She closed her eyes and licked her lips. Elda took a deep breath. She was a bit nervous, what would happen if she got angry and felt like someone should die? She needed to keep her cool.

Venus screams. "AHH!! WHAT'RE WE GOING TO DO!! ROCKS ROCKS ROCKS!!!" Venus calms down. "I'm the leader of the inner senshi, so I should know what to do." Venus ducks, and a rock hits her back. She shields Chibi-Luna from being hurt.

"Uranus! As long as that gotanai," Zoltan points over at Archer Knight, with a twitching eyebrow, "is on your side, I'm not doing anything to help." He says, evilly. Zoltan knew that getting in the machine would help both the Crystal Senshi and the Sol Senshi, who Archer Knight was cooperating with, so he refused to do it. Besides, he was neutral. Zoltan would only help if the enemy got on his nerves. Otherwise, Zoltan could obviously care less, even if the whole Sol System could blow up. He would care if the other Constellation Senshi, Elios, and possibly ChibiMoon got blown up or blown away, though. *All I care about is my friends. I'm ready to leave now, and go find them.* He then grabs his Golden Sword, ready to create a portal and leave. *And I thought the Sol Senshi were my mortal enemies? I refuse to stay here if Archer Knight is here.*

Yui sees the tears on Ka Lo's face, but he thinks its because she's in pain. "Screw this," he mumbles as he gets to his feet. He uses one of his knives to cut off the straps on Sailor Ka Lo, and frees her . "You're free, Ka Lo-san," he says happily when he's done. .

It takes Ka Lo a second to realize she is free, but then she quickly gets up. However as soon as she is on her feet she faints forward from lack of energy.

"Ka Lo!" Elda yells as she see sher friend falling to the ground. "Why am I still in this god damned chair?!" Elda clenches her fists and stands up, pulling the wires out of her skin. She grits her teeth. Once the wires are out of her she quickly runs over to Ka Lo and kneels down nex to her. She lifts her up and lays her head in her lap so she would be more comfortable. "Ka Lo-chan? Ka Lo-chan are you alright?! Can you talk to me?" She bit her lip worriedly.

Uranus smiles as Zoltan disappears. 'No problems there. Now you're really neutral.' She grins sardonically at Yui. 'Much obliged for saving Ka Lo. Maybe I was wrong about you...'

Saturn looked at Yui for a second in a confused happy way then turned her attention on Ka Lo again, "Ka Lo? Talk to us, Please! Or show us some sign that you're okay"

Zoltan steps though a portal and leaves. Now that he's back on Illusion, he can't keep his curiosity down... "I wonder..." He takes out his completely healed computer and starts pressing some buttons. "Show me what's going on!" Zoltan yells at his computer as he starts pressing buttons at rapid speeds. Then he looks over at where the portal, now closed, was. Personally he hoped someone would kill Archer Knight and everyone else would come out wounded, but he didn't say, or mumble, anything about it.

Saturn looks at Crystal Scarab through the corner of her eye and stands up closing her eyes, *she's our enemy - yui's not not if he helped Ka Lo* She opens her eyes and looks at Crystal Scarab in a hostile manner her eyes flickering with anger, "You won't get the machine Scarab" "Silence Glaive Surprise!"

Meanwhile, Chibi-Luna yelps as Sailor Venus protects her from the rocks. "Thank you Sailor Venus " she squeaks. Chibi-Luna points to Crystal Scarab. "The enemy is right there- just keep shooting her until I tell you to stop, all right??" {grin}

Venus smiles at Chibi-Luna. She nods. "Right!" She aims for crystal scarab. "VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!!!"

Crystal Scarab saw AK's "SOUL SHATTER" and would have gotten out of the way, but Sailor Uranus was holding her in place at the time. It blows up under her feet and sends her flying far to the back wall. She lands on her butt, and gets up again immediately. Just in time to see Saturn invoke her Silence Glaive Surprise. Black lightning happens all around Crystal Scarab. Unfortunately, she sort of absorbs it like a lightning rod. You see the powerful energy go into her, and then into the ground. "Die!!" she yells as she then sends the attack, still under the ground, beneath the feet of Sailor Saturn and Archer Knight so it could blow up there. *crap, I need my chakra* she thinks, *What am I going to do... think think* "Love and Beauty Shock!" Sailor Venus disrupts whatever plan she was thinking. CS gets hit by the laser right in the forehead. It messes with her a little bit, but she's too angry to be stopped by that alone. *Gimme a weapon!!* Thinking that, she runs over to the big throne, and pulls the wires out of the back, snapping them. She charges them with electrical energy!-- So they become similar to snakes of live electricity. She sends them at the group of good guys she hasn't yet attacked. To Sailor Elda: One of those little buggers (the supercharged wires) wraps around you and tries to electrify you (yet again) and drain your energy. To Sailor Ka Lo: One of the electrical wires grabs you around the waist and tries to pull you back into the little chair. Crystal scarab sends some of the wires towards Sailor VENUS as well-- head on, like darts. After all of this, Crystal Scarab takes the remaining wires (there's a ton of them) and surrounds herself with them, creating a electric field.

Venus tries to dodge the darts, but can't. They hit her straight on, and she ends up landing on her head with her butt in the air muttering. "OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EAT THIS! VENUS CRESCENT BEAM SMASH!!!!!!!!"

Slowly Ka Lo wakes to feel a shock around her. The wire begins to pull her towards the chair, but at this time that's the last place she wants to be. She tries to brake the wire so she can take it off, but her lack of energy gives her trouble with her needed strength. She tries to walk in the opposite directing of the chair, hoping it will give up when it finds she won't come. "No! Don't put me back that chair!" Ka Lo screamed, actually afraid.

Zoltan just raises an eyebrow as he watches from his computer, as it acting like a television. "Crystal Scarab is weak!" He exclaims, pulling up a chair and plopping down on it. His eyes showed signs of confusion. *Seriously though, I would think that everyone was stronger! I don't get how I was defeated by CrystalMars in my past life...Even HALF of my true power would blow most of these idiots up! If I only knew how to control my true power...*

"No! Not Ka Lo!" Elda growled. She grabbed the wires and tried to rip them off of herself. Not succeeding she decided to try something else, attacking Scarab. "Black Hole!" Elda screams. She turns and reaches her hand out to Ka Lo. "Ka Lo! Grab my hand!" She told her, reaching out as far as she could.

Ka Lo quickly tried to grab Elda's hand, but just as she reached out she was yanked back more. The best she could, she tried to move closer.

Uranus dodges any wires that try to attack her, and grabs Ka Lo, trying to hold her back from the chair. 'You're not getting in that chair again.' Suddenly, she darts around Ka Lo and sits in the chair. 'I am.'

Ka Lo looks behind her at Uranus sitting in the chair. "Hey! You shouldn't - " Since she let her guard off, she now flew on top of Uranus by the wire. "Whoops...."

Venus Crescent Beam Smash successfully fries up the wires coming at Sailor Venus . The attack goes through them and hits the electric field surrounding Crystal Scarab, but the field strangely absorbs it. When Ka Lo falls into the chair on top of Uranus, CS laughs and laughs. "For once it seems your ideals of truth & justice have failed you, Sailor Senshi, prepare yourselves for the end of the world!!" She says, laughing in a high-pitched fashion as she jumps into the chair which Sailor Elda had left vacant. She lets down the electric field around her. The chair morphs to suit her and it starts to glow. "Let's see- what do I do now? The possibilities are endless... You two make sure to power up the machine extra well for my--" CS suddenly falls out of the chair. She floats up towards the ceiling. As expected, her reaction is frighteningly angry. "Yui!! What on Earth is wrong with you!!? You're on my side, you idiot!" "I am," Yui responds. "But you're so @#$&* annoying!! I only did it so that you would shut your mouth already!!" Her eyes get wide in fury and she and yells back to him. "How do you dare you try to pull something like this-- Baka, there's no hope for you now!!" Crystal Scarab pulls off her circular tiara. *Well... this will do for now instead of the chakra.* she thinks as she starts to concentrate her energy into the tiara. *hmmm, much better*. She smiles . She waves it at points it at the ground beneath her. The ground begins to rise and take shape. Out from it comes two enormous hands, made out of stone. They look like CS's hands, and they do everything her hands do. They hover in the air. "I'll get rid of all of you- the hard way if I have to." On of the enormous stone hands goes to Yui and swats him like a fly (ow). Instantly CS starts to fall. The other hand balls itself into a fist. It heads to the Sailor Team and begins to descend onto Sailor Ka Lo Lo and Sailor Uranus like a hammer.

*I want to go there...It's not as exciting here...And I want to help Aries...WAIT A MINUTE! Maybe I could be there, but I don't want them to know it's me.* He runs off, leaving his computer just floating there. *I can be Elios!* Zoltan charges into his house, locks the door, and runs into the bathroom. For some reason he had a can of red spray paint in his bathroom. He sprays it on his yellow jewel, until it seems that it is naturally red. Then he slams the medicine cabinet open, grabbing his golden orange colored contacts. Next, he puts the contacts on, and realizes that he's not wearing the right uniform. His was yellow and orange, but Elios's was sea-green and turquiose. "Drat." Zoltan sneaks out of his bathroom, and edges by the wall, to blend in with the shadows. Since it was nighttime, it was actually quite dark. *Thank goodness for short days!* Daytime only lasted two hours on Illusion, while nighttime lasted five. As you probably could guess, they had seven hour days. He walks up to a door and fumbles with the doorknob, until he manages to get it open. "Please don't wake up Elios..." Zoltan whispers, as he tries to sneak past Elios's bed. Then he slips on a picture, and falls flat on his face. "Oww." He scrambles to get up, and runs over to the closet.

Ka Lo looks up at the hand. "Uh..." She gets up quickly. "Go Uranus! Move out of the way!" She grabs her arm and flings her out of the chair and across the room. Then she takes out her sword and tries to cut the wire within seconds. "Come on... Snap or something." She looks up at the hand once more. "One attack I haven't used is my swords own energy. Star Spirit Sword!!!" The energy builds up, and she aims for the hand, hoping to break it or at least make it go somewhere else.

Venus blinks. "WHAT DO I DO?!?!"

'Ka Lo!' Uranus tries to grab Ka Lo, but misses. *I've got to help her...how? There's no time...I know!* 'Uranus World Illusion Crash!' She sends the energy flying along with Ka Lo's attack.

Saturn looks at the two attacks flying towards the hand, *more power is better* "Silence Glaive Surprise!" She sends her attack along with Uranus' and Ka Lo's.

Elda looked from Yui to Ka Lo and Uranus. "You..you bitch!"She screamed and tried to force her way over to Yui. She was unable to move to get to him, or Ka Lo & Uranus. She saw that Saturn and Uranus and Ka Lo were taking care of Ka Lo so she closed her eyes and focused on her energy power. After a quick moment Elda opened her eyes back up and turned facing Scarab. "Black Rhapsody!" She screamed and flung her attack as fast and as energy-filled as she could with out draining herself to much. "Your not gonna hurt anyone else!"

Ka Lo's Star Spirit sword cuts into the surface of the rock. It even gets stuck in the rock for a little bit, before Uranus' World Illusion Crash and Silence Glaive Surprise pummel into it packing some serious destruction power. The giant floating hand gets utterly mashed. It falls into several pieces as Ka Lo's sword finishes slicing what's left of it. A rain of pebbles lands on everyones' heads. "!!!-" Crystal Scarab reels much like she did when her chakra popped. Without missing a beat, though, she swings the other stone hand around so its index finger is pointing at the Sailor Team. She channels the electrical power coming from her tiara into the stone so that it gets concentrated at the fingertip. The energy turns into a laser that she could shoot at everyone. About this time, 'Black Rhapsody' crashes into her. Crystal Scarab kind of bears the brunt of it- STILL too angry to be stopped. After recovering, she whips the floating hand around to make the laser point at Sailor Elda. The laser carves a thin, neon-blue line in the ground as it charges towards Sailor Elda.

After watching the destruction of the giant floating hand, Chibi-Luna turns to her companion Sailor Venus. "Now's our only chance to finish her," she says helpfully to Sailor Venus- "Use a big Rolling-Heart-Vibration on her-- and time it so it goes with everyone else's attacks. And then if she's still up, use Sailor-V-kick on her^_^, okay??"

Uranus sees the hand pointing at Elda, and gasps. 'Elda! Saturn, Pluto, Get Silence Wall and Garnet Ball up NOW. I'm going to end this once and for all.' She doesn't pause, but starts running towards Crystal Scarab. *We've only got one chance....* She reaches out and grabs for the tiara, as fast as a scorpion's strike.

Zoltan grabs onto Elios's uniform, and then leaves a note for him, saying that he ripped his own clothes and needed his. Then Zoltan runs off and changes into it, and then rushes out of the house. He forgot to close the door, but who was going to hurt anyone on THIS peaceful planet. Zoltan grabs onto his Golden Sword for one last time, slices the portal open, and then looks into it, only sticking his head in for the moment. *They'll never know it was me.* He was overly confident, but he had a point. Zoltan looked like Elios's identical twin. Not that he didn't in the first place though, but now he looked even more like him. He was also in ths shadows anyhow, and that just made it harder to see him at all. *Go, Fireball!* Zoltan launches a fireball at Crystal Scarab, and then takes his head out of the portal and closes it again.

"OK Uranus!" Pluto says, "Garnet Ball!"

Ka Lo stops a second to look around. Her vision was still a little blury, but not too much to where it could mess her up. "Maybe I could use my sword to reflect her power.... But I don't want to ruin a perfectly good sword...." Instead she uses it to cut the wire off and sighs relieved. "Okay..." She runs for Crystal Scarab with her sword and jumps, coming a little short she just tosses the sword straight at her. "Please hit her...." she mumbles to herself. Then she does another take. "Pain Ball Blast!" she aims this attack for Scarab's hands.

Saturn runs in front of Elda, "SILENCE WALL!" *this better work*...

Everything happened just too quickly. Scarab's attack came and everyone was running around. Saturn dashed infront of her and used her Silence Wall. "There's nothing else I can do!" Elda places a hand on Saturn's arm and fed her energy for the Silence Wall to hopefully make it stronger.

Sailor Saturn and Sailor Pluto work together to place up a formidable shield in front of CS's laser. The laser bounces off the shield as though it were a mirror, and Crystal Scarab nearly hits herself with it. Sailor Uranus suddenly snatches the tiara away from her. But before CS has the chance to whine and complain, she sees more attacks coming for her. Sailor Ka Lo's sword comes flying at her. CS covers her face and quickly deflects it with her arms. The sword lands on the ground far away. Next comes "Pain Ball Blast!!" and a Fireball coming out from nowhere. CS absorbs both of these full force. She short-circuits and stumbles backwards. CS clumsily falls to her knees. Immediately she starts crying like Usagi. She's too powerless to fight back now, but she still wants to kill you. She continues bawling in the middle of the room. In between her wails she pitifully asks Sailor Uranus to give her tiara back.

The remaining stone-hand falls down with a *thunk*.

Pluto sweat drops at Crystal Scarab,"Wow..I thought Usagi was the only one as pitiful as that."

Zoltan watches from his computer television... "She's more pathetic then the present day Moon-butt!" He sweatdrops, face-faulting. Zoltan accidently knocks his computer over in the process. Sweatdropping, he gets up and picks his computer up, setting it back in thin air. Somehow the computer stayed there.

'I don't think even Usagi is that sappy.' Uranus steps back away from Crystal Scarab. 'She wants me to give back her tiara? 'Oh, please give me back my tiara, so I can kill you all and destroy the world'?! Nobody is THAT stuid.' She starts idly toying with the tiara. 'What does this do, anyway?'

Venus sweatdrops. "I'm a bit late fo r the attack, but I can still do a Kick V style." Venus runs up to CS, and jumps in the air. "SAILOR V KICK!" She kicks CS. She does a back flip and lands next to Chibi-Luna. She picks up Luna and put her on her shoulder. "Do you think that did anything?"

Saturn blinks, "Wha...Usagi isn't that bad" She holds her head pitying Crystal Scarab. She looks at Venus, "That really wasn't nessacary was it Venus?...Oh well"

Venus sighs. "No. I guess it wasn't. But at least I know that I helped!"

Ka Lo walks over, grabs her sword and comes back to CS. She looks down at her and shakes her head. "Pathetic. Aren't you suppose to be strong?" She swings her sword around like a baton. "I should just kill you right now...." Tossing her sword up she catches it by the handle and points it at her. "You can leave right now, or you can leave later, but I can't guarantee you will be alive in the next few minutes."

AHHHH!!! Smoking Bomber!!

Elda bites her lip, majorly sweat dropping at Scarab. "Calm down girl..Don't have a heart attack." She rubbed her forehead and thought. *'She's pathetic without any of her gizmos sure..But once she's got some power she tries to kill everyone!'* Elda thought to everyone. *'I'm not sure what to do.'* She walked over to Yui and put a hand on his shoulder. "Are you alright Yui-chan?"

Shaking her head once more, Ka Lo just walks off to Elda's side. "I say we just leave her." She sighed. "You know, this could always be a trick. Like she's planning some way to get her frisbee thing back."

Saturn walks up to Elda's otherside, "Hmm Ka Lo you could be right...she looks to pityful for it to be real..."

CS gets kicked by Venus. She keeps crying and holds the spot on her forehead where she was kicked. She looks up and sees Tuxedo Masks's Smoking Bomber descending on her. She scrambles on her butt to get out of the way. Suddenly CS stands to her feet and seems to return to normal. "All right you Sailor Senshi-- so, you've won this battle and humiliated me, (OOC: Actually, she humiliated herself^_^) but you don't get too cocky. The future kingdom of Atreya has over one million ways to extinguish your existence! and everything you hold dear!! So don't think you've seen the last of us. Haha, this is just the beginning- (etc.)" While CS is saying all of this, she opens up a glowing time rift, and steps through it to take her exit. It closes behind her and she's gone. She was talking so much, and it happened so fast, that you didn't have the chance to stop her. Yui answers Sailor Elda's question - "I'm feeling very smooshed." He sits up and holds his head. "thank goodness she's gone...." He mutters a curse under his breath. "Okay, I'd better get going as well. Thanks, Sailor Elda." He stands up completely and dusts off. "It's not like I want to leave at a time like this- In fact I'd really love to hang around- but things have changed now. Since I betrayed my superiors I'll probably be hunted down and killed, so it was nice knowin you." He starts to walk away. But on the way, he stops to turn around and point at the machinery. "I hope you guys are going to get rid of that annoying thing."

"Aww, leaving already? That's too bad. Maybe we could help you kick some major arse and help you, eh?"^.^' Elda shruged. "Or not.. uh yeah, we'll handel that thing. Anyways Yui-chan Nice knowing you er, bye!" Elda grabbed Saturn and Ka Lo's hands and dragged them up to Yui. Elda gave him a hug glompy hug and a peck on the check and then motioned for Saturn and Ka Lo to give him a hug/say good-bye to him too.

Uranus tosses the tiara in the air and catches it, then strolls over to Yui and them. 'You know, if you all hug him that hard you'll suffocate him, and save his superiors the trouble.' She looks at Yui and smiles. 'Welcome to the ranks of the people without identity. Nice working with you.'

Venus smiles. "Unfortunatly, I didn't get to know you, because you are kinda' cute! ^_~ But this is good-bye anyway."

Zoltan blinks. "Yui's leaving...?" He whispers, not wanting Yui to leave. Personally, he gained a liking for the guy, and didn't want him to walk to his death. *I would go back and stop him, but then they would know who I was...*

Ka Lo is dragged by Elda, then just looks away. She could feel her face become red when Elda tries to make her hug him. She never really cared for anyone enough to hug them, but this didn't seem so bad. Shrugging it off, she takes a small step back. "Maybe weâll run into you again," she said kindly. Slowly she walked away to lean on the wall and becomes Allie again. Which is weird because Allie and Ka Lo don't look alike. Ka Lo possessed Allie into her liking...

Being dragged by Elda Saturn gets back on her own two feet. She gives Yui a big huge and a kiss on the forehead . "Yui anyway, I guess we should thank you for helping us. Sometime we'll meet again - sometime"

Yui blushes at Saturn & Elda's kindness *^_^*... "yeah, I'll run into you guys again." He turns to Allie and says, "I'm glad you got your necklace back. It was fun." Then he exits through the hole in the ceiling that Crystal Scarab had blasted earlier. It's still daytime outside and the weather is just as nice as ever. Chibi-Luna, who is still draped over Sailor Venus' shoulder, gets this really great idea. "Sailor Venus," she asks, "why don't you just go into the throne, and then wish the machine destroyed?? That should do the trick." Chibi-Luna grins. *meow*

"I'm heading home," Allie says finally. She drapes her backpack over her shoulder and starts to walk out. Yawning, she pulls her necklace off and stuffs it into the backpack. *Thanks for my necklace back,* she says to Ka Lo in her head. *I've missed it.*

"Finally it's over.." Elda de-transformed. She grabbed her backpack(which appeared out of nowhere) and got her cap out of it, placing it on backwards as always. "See ya guys!^_^" Tori walked up to Allie. "Mind if I walk with you Allie-chan?"

"Sure," Allie told Tori cheefully. "Come on!" *Great, now they're all here,* Ka Lo said to Allie in her head annoyed. *It's okay... I like their company. At least I know I have friends now....*

Zoltan looks a little relieved. *Well, if he says he's gonna' bump into us again, I guess I can trust him.* He mentally laughs, looking up. Since on Illusion it was already nighttime, unlike Earth, he wanted to go to bed. So with that, he grabs his computer, trudges over to his house and walks inside. "I need some sleep..." *I can go destroy Archer Knight another day...* Zoltan boredly walks over to the table and sits down. He plays with a bowl of noodles that was left on the table. "..." Zoltan pauses for a moment, and then grins at the noodles, seeming to just notice what they were. "AHH! I can eat and then I won't be sleepy! I'm hungry anyhow!" He sets his computer down, which was still watching the Sol Senshi, and starts to eat the noodles.

Venus looks at Chibi-Luna. "Do you think that would work? Okay. I guess you wouldn't have said it, if you didn't think it would work, huh?" Venus smiles and heads for the throne. When she gets there, she kneels to pray that the machine would be destroyed. "Oh please, destroy this machine. It causes sorrow to some, and hatred to others. I ask this in your name, in which I pray." Venus stands up already not remembering what she said in her prayer, but she smiles anyway. ^^

Pluto detransforms,"Well untill next time guys."she says,"Wait up Tori-chan I'll walk with you!"she yells and runs away.

Saturn reverts back into Hotaru and grabs her pack. She stands and watches Yui leave "Why did he have to leave to quickly.." Shrugging it off her current thoughts she runs up to Tori and uses her shoulders to jump up a little, "Mind if I tag along also?" Hotaru looks up at the sky hoping to maybe see Yui.

Uranus smiles quietly. 'He'll be around, whether we see him or not.' She detransforms and puts her arm around Hotaru. 'Come on, Hotaru-chan. Let's go home.'

Chibi-Luna teardrops at Sailor Venus. ^.^..."That wasn't exactly what I had in mind... but I guess it's good enough, for now ". She grins at Sailor Venus and relaxes. She can't wait to get back home. Everyone leaves Carpathia and the terrible machine behind them. The blood-engine falls into disrepair, and the terrible machine isn't touched or thought about for another two thousand millenia. (that's a lot of millenia.)
