The Rescue Chapter One Before anyone sues me, I just want to say that all Sailor Moon characters and such are rightfully the property of the makers of Sailor Moon. The character of Sailor Sirius is all mine though, and anyone who actually reads this fan fiction and wants to use it, please ask me first. I am not going to be mean and say you can't use, and if you do, I'll send an axe-murderer after you:) I feel all good ideas should be shared, but not plagarised. Enough with that, let the story begin!!!! ********************************************************************* Tsukino Residence, Usagi Tsukino's room Usagi sat on her bed with her knees drawn up to her chest and her arms wrapped around them. Her tear-stained face was looking outside her window at the Saturday morning sun. "Oh, Mamo-chan, where can you be?" Usagi sighed to herself, "It seems as though I've lost you, since you don't answer my letters! Now, I have lost my brother Shingo. I wish you were here with me so you could comfort me, and help me find him." The pain once again proved too much for Usagi, and she broke down crying again. She held a shaking hand to her mouth so as not to wake up Chibi-Chibi, who was laying peacefully asleep next to her on the bed. The little mysterious girl smile in her sleep, gurgled a few time, then was quiet. The events of yesterday replayed itself in her mind. She was helping a new friend, Tanya Cambridge, figure out what was happening to her father. Then, when they investigated, and found out the truth, the demon came out of her disguise, and tried to destroy them. That was when Usagi found out that her new friend from Libya was actually a Sailor Senshi, Sailor Sirius, and they both destroyed her. The rest of the Senshi welcomed her into the group when they had another meeting, and revealed their secret identities to her and Marco. Then, Usagi's mother called and informed her that Shingo was missing, and there was no trace of him anywhere. From since last night, the house has been flooded with police. But since then, there have been no leads, and the Senshi were stumped as well. Usagi continued crying, thinking how horrible she had been to Shingo, when Luna suddenly walked in the room, her black fur sleek and concern mirrored in her eyes. "Usagi-chan, I know this is a very hard time for you, but you must pull yourself together. You can't stay in your room moping around all day! The girls might need you, or have something on Shingo!" Usagi turned to look at the black Guardian cat. "Luna, please! I don't want to think about Senshi business or anything right now! I just want to be left alone." She lay back softly on her bed, so as not to disturb Chibi-Chibi, and stared up at the ceiling. "This is all my fault! Shingo would be here if I didn't fight with him so much." She continued, choking back sobs. Luna jumped on the bed to join her, "That's not true, and you know it! I have been trying to tell you this since last night. This misfortune has something to do with otherworldly forces, maybe even Galaxia herself. But as usual, you just won't listen!" Usagi ignored her and continued to stare up at the ceiling. Luna then let out an exhausted breath and gave up. After just a few moments of silence, there was a soft knocking at the door, and a dark head with jet black hair in two long braids down to her waist peeked in. "Hi there, Usagi-chan! Up for some company?" said Tanya. Usagi waved her in, and Tanya walked shyly up to her bed and said a quiet hello to Luna, who replied back the same when Tanya then softly stroked the cats fur. Tanya then turned to Usagi, and tried to be cheerful for her friend's sake. "I hope you are, because I have a message for you!" Tanya said, sitting down on the bed next to Usagi. "By the way, your mom let me in. She's still pretty upset. Is your dad still at the police station?" "Hai." Usagi replied sadly, "He might not be home for hours". She was quiet for a moment, then gave Tanya a questioning look. "What's this message you have for me?" "Ami has called an emergency Senshi meeting. She says that she might have found something, and that it is important that she shares it with you. She tried calling you on your communicator and phone, but you just won't answer." Tanya said, her eyes showing her worry over the petite Senshi leader. "Sorry, I turned the communicator off and told my mom that I was not taking calls earlier this morning. I must have forgotten to turn it back on. My mind's in a total daze!!" Usagi said sheepishly, and tried to smile, but failed. She put a hand behind her head and sweatdropped. Tanya smiled sympathetically, and laid a comforting hand on Usagi's shoulder. "It's all right. Just get dressed and come on. Ami sounded really serious when she told me to get you. Rei-chan's there too, and you know what you're going to get if you're late!! "Oh, all right, I'll be there!" sighed Usagi sadly as she got up. At that moment, Chibi-Chibi awoke, and after blinking and rubbiing her eyes with two fist, she smiled and gave Usagi a look of mischief. "Chibi-Chibi!" the little red-haird girl yelled, then giggled as she pointed to her stomach. At the suprised look on Tanya's face, Usagi rolled her eyes upward. "After I give this human vacuum some food!" the blonde said, picking up Chibi-Chibi in her arms and heading towards the door as Tanya laughed softly. ************************************************************************** Mizuno Residence: Instead of the Hikawa Shrine the Senshi usually meet in, Ami insisted that they meet at her house, since Rei's grandfather was entertaining some guests from out of town, maybe from another country, who heard about his famous temple. As soon as Usagi and Tanya walked in the living room after Ami's mother answered the door, then left, Minako, Makoto, and Ami began to give Usagi condolences and hugs. Rei stood back with her arms folded across her chest. "Now that all the pleasantries are done, can we PLEASE get on with the meeting? You two are LATE!" she said with a touch of irritation. "Oh, come on, Rei-chan!" said Minako defensively, "Don't you think that Usagi-chan has been through enough without you bantering her as usual!" Makoto, standing next to her, nodded in agreement. "Oh, fine!" Rei blew out an exhausted breath, then plopped down on one of Ami's large soft couches. Makoto looked like she was going to say something, but then changed her mind, and gave Reia slight frown. "O.K., now that we are all here, we can begin." said Ami, taking out her mini-computer with the Mercury sign on it. She began typing quickly. "I did some extensive research on the area where Shingo has disappeared last night, and I have gathered some crucial information." "Really, like what?" Tanya asked, fascinated by Ami's computer, and leaning over closer to her. "Well, first of all," Ami began, "the computer has picked up a disturbance in the delicate space-time fabric, which means that someone came into the park through another dimension, by a hole or something, and left pieces of the fabric of space scattered all over the ground. There are undetectable to the police." "You mean to say that someone came from another dimension, and just snatched Shingo away like that? asked Makoto, already getting angry, "Who would do such a thing?" "That's my next point." said Ami worriedly, "My calculations would indicate that Sailor Galaxia is behind this kidnapping." She then looked at Usagi sadly. All of the girls gasped in anger and surprise, but Usagi was strangely quiet. She then turned white in her face, and looked like she was going to faint. This is wrong. There was non way that they could figure out who she was, and who her family was, but it was true. Her brother was in danger, because of her. Usagi's shaking body began to away slightly. Minako turned to help her stay up, but Usagi brushed her off as she straightened up and set her face in anger and determination. "That makes no sense whatsoever!!" Usagi yelled out, frustrated, "I'm the Moon Princess!! Galaxia's beef should be with me, not with a little boy who has done nothing to her! I say we find out where this hole is, find Galaxia, and show her NO ONE messes with my family!" Usagi stood up, and was about to rush out the door. All of the girls gaped at Usagi with an open mouth. Rei mostly was impressed, and secretly smiled. They have never seen Usagi, as a leader of the senshi, act so fierce and determined for so long. "No, wait!!" cried Ami, going after her and stopping her. "The dimension hole is long gone. I have a plan that might get us into Galaxia's realm. I don't think you might like it, but right now, it's the only way." "What is it?" asked Usagi softly, defeat in her eyes as she allowed Ami to lead her back into the living room. She sat back down on the couch next to Minako. After all the years they have known each other, Usagi have grown to trust Ami's thinking and respect her intelligence, as well as the other girls. "Well," she said, standing in front of them, "I propose that we go into the park, act vulnerable, and allow ourselves to be captured by Galaxia's Anima-Mates." The blue haired girl squinted her eyes slightly, ready for the shouts and anger. "What!?" cried out Makoto, "There is NO way I'm letting those creepy Anima-Mates even touch me!! I will fight them to the end!!" For emphasis, the tall girl made a fist with her right hand, and flexed the muscle in her arm. "Wait, Mako-chan! Maybe she's right." said Rei, finally getting in the conversation. "I mean, there is no other way we can travel between dimensions, is there?" "No, not that I know of." said Ami, turning to Rei, "That's why it's so important for you to understand. We must risk the dangers if we are ever to see Shingo again." She looked at each girl with pleading eyes. The Senshi then agreed. "Good, I have already sent the Outer Senshi into the park to begin investigating anything unusual. I told them what happend, and they agreed to lend us any help they can. They should be still there waiting for us. Let's go." Ami tucked away her computer, prepared to move out. "Hold on a minute!" said Tanya suddenly, standing up with the others, "Should I come too?" She looked at the genius girl nervously. "Of course!" said Ami, "You are officially one of the Sailor Senshi, and even with the Outers, we're going to need all the help we can get." She gave Tanya a hard look. "This fight might be very hard. Are you sure you're up to it?" "You bet I am!" Tanya rushed over and gave Ami a quick hug. "Let's go get ready to rumble!!" All the girls then nodded to each other in agreement. They then left Ami's house and started for the park that Shingo usually crosses to reach school. After a few minutes of walking, the girls found and met up with the Outer Senshi, minus Pluto. They were talking to each other about what happened to Shingo, and walking in then brisk Spring air. When the younger girls approached them, they murmured their hellos, and welcomed Tanya as a new member of the Sailor Senshi. "I hope that you've come up with a great plan, Ami-chan, for even Michiru is stuck on what to do next!" said Haruka, placing a hand on her shoulder. Michiru and Hotaru (now thirteen again) nodded in agreement. "As a matter of fact, I did. It's now just a matter of you going along with it." said Ami, looking at all the Outer Senshi in their eyes. Ami then proceeded to explain the plan to them, leaving nothing out. After some protests, mostly from Haruka, Ami was finally able to get them to agree to go along with it with the help of the Inner Senshi. As usal, Usagi used her tears to move Haruka, and like a script, it worked. "But how do we keep our secret identities safe from them?" asked Michiru suddenly. "I think that Sailor Galaxia has always known who we were because of our energy signals, and the fact she has eyes everywhere. She just waited for the right target and time to get at us." said Haruka, looking at Usagi with sympathy. "If so, then Sailor Galaxia will prove to be a most formidable foe." said Hotaru thoughtfully, rubbing her chin between her thumb and forefinger in thought. Tanya was about to say something, when suddenly, there was a strong gust of wind, followed by a high pitch laughter in the trees above them. Very quickly, Sailor Iron Mouse jumped out of the trees and landed right in front of them. "Ha! That's exactly right, and there's nothing you can do about it!! Say good-bye to your Star Seeds!!! "Senshi!! Transform! Quickly!!!" yelled Luna, running up to them from behind. Usagi gasped as she looked down at the black cat. Wasn't she supposed to be at the Command Center? "Luna?" said Usagi, "How did you.....?" "Never mind! Do it now!!" screamed Luna. Sailor Iron Mouse growled fiercely, then ran up to Luna she back-handed the black furred cat against a tree with a hard slap, knocking her unconscious. "Stupid cat" Iron Mouse muttered snidely. "No! Luna!" Usagi cried. She turned to the Mouse Senshi, and narrowed her eyes angirly. "Your going to pay for that, Cheese Breath!" Usagi looked around to see if anyone was nearby, and when she saw no one, she turned to her friends. "Minna, henshin yo!" She drew her hand across the beautiful brooch on her shirt. "Moon Eternal, Make-Up!!!" shouted the Senshi leader. "Saturn Planet Power! Make-up!!" "Uranus Planet Power! Make-up!!" "Neptune Planet Power! Make-up!!" "Venus Crystal Power! Make-Up!!" "Jupiter Crystal Power! Make up!! "Mars Crystal Power! make-up!!" "Mercury Crystal Power! Make-up" "Sirius Star Power! Make-up!" Each girl was then surrounded by a blinding light in their colors. The clothes that they were wearing slowly melted off, replaced by a body suit, gloves, boots or shoes, and pleated skirts around thier waist. Power surge through their bodies and soul, making them feel brave and ready to fight for all that is good in the world. When the transformation sequence finished, the Inner and Outer Senshi then stood in front of Sailor Iron Mouse in their fighting stance. "Impressive" commented Sailor Iron Mouse with a mocking smirk. "NOOOT!" She then took out a giant whip and cracked it several times. Each time it cracked, it broke off the handle and wrapped around the bodies of each of the Senshi, trapping them and making it impossible to use thier hands. She did it so quick, none of the girls had time to attack her. "Do you like my new toy?" Sailor Iron Mouse asked smugly, then laughed in triumph with a high pitched annoying voice. "Now that ithhis little... game..is over with, I believe there is someone who wants to meet you!" She let out another of her hideous, drawing hateful stares from the tied-up Senshi. She then flicked a hand, and with a gust of heavy wind, a black vortex appeared, lightning flashing around it and sucking up all the leaves and dirt. The group tried to hold ground, but the suction was too hard. Soon, they were all sucked in the black void, screaming in terror and in fear of what they might meet on the other side.
