Chapter 10

In the Hospital...

All of Rei's friends were in the hospital waiting for her condition to stabilize. She was in really bad shape and there wasn't anything they could do about it. Makoto was the first to realize what was happening.

"Earthquake!" A voice rang out when the shaking began.

"Take cover!" Someone else cried out, heading for a doorway. The shaking grew more violent with each second.

"What is that?" Makoto cried, holding onto Ami who was huddling under the table. Minako was under a different table, huddling with a really cute guy.

"I don't know!" Cried Ami. Minako was screaming in fear. She wasn't that scared, she just wanted the guy to hold her closer. Leave it to her to flirt with a guy in a life or death situation.

When the shaking subsided, Ami had a weird feeling that it wasn't an earthquake. She ran outside to take a look around and gasped at what she saw.

"Hey Ami!" Makoto cried running after her. "What the..." She didn't finish her sentence because she saw what the rumbling had been.

"You guys!" Minako cried running outside with them. "Did you have to leave. That guy was really..." She saw what the others were staring at and quickly grew silent. They were all gawking at the sight before them.

There was a huge, black crystal castle in the middle of Tokyo. It looked almost how Crystal Tokyo looked, except that the crystal was dark and full of black energy.

"What IS that thing!!" Minako cried, her mouth dropping open.

"It looks like some kind of castle." Said Ami, a very matter of fact tone in her voice.

"Well duh!" Said Makoto, who had already transformed and was running towards the palace. "You guys coming!" She demanded.

"Wait! Come back!" Ami cried, following after Makoto, transforming as she ran. "We can't go in without a plan!"

"Hey wait for me!" Minako cried, who had transformed as well. The three of them ran towards the castle as fast as they could. They approached the castle, but Ami jumped in front of them to keep them from going in.

"We need a plan." She said, forcing them to stop. "We can't go barging in without a plan. Usagi might get hurt!"

"Your right Ami." Makoto said, not wanting to admit that Ami was right. "But what can we do? We don't know who they are or where they have Usagi."

"I can pinpoint Usagi's location, but we can't rush into it too much. She's the Princess and if anything happens to her, the universe won't have a chance. It'll be wiped out."

"Well hurry up." Sailor Jupiter said, feeling a little antsy. "We have to hurry."

"First of all, we have to let Sailor Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Pluto know what happened." Sailor Mercury said pushing a button, causing a clear blue thing to go over her eyes. It was her computer. "Get them while I find a way in."

"You got it!" Sailor Jupiter said, taking out her communicator. "Sailor Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Pluto! Come in!"

"What is it?!" Sailor Pluto asked, coming on the communicator.

"You guys have to get to the middle of town as fast as you can! They took Usagi!" Sailor Jupiter said.

"We're on our way!" She heard several replies, from the rest of the scouts.

A few minutes later. The rest of the Sailor Scouts ran on the scene and they all went into the castle. They were having trouble finding their way around inside the palace. It was a huge maze of dark crystal. Sailor Mercury did her best to find the way with her computer, but it didn't do any good. The dark energy took it's toll on her computer and jammed it.

"Oh no!" Sailor Mercury cried. "My computer just over loaded! Now how are we going to find our way?!"

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the palace...

"Those pathetic Sailor Scouts will never find their way through that maze!" Prince Diamond shouted. "How pathetic of them to even try!" He threw back his head and his evil laughter could be heard though out the palace.

Princess Serenity was still under his spell. She wasn't giving in though. She kept on fighting, she would never give up. 'I'll beat this!' She thought. 'One way or another!'
