Episode 7

^^^

"Prepare to meet your end, Sailorcosmos." Theif#1 said, and pulled the trigger on the gun-like device. Sailorcosmos just stood there, then she put her right arm up and a white shield of power formed where her hand touched the air. A red stream of light shot from the soul-stealing device, and when it hit the shield it bounced to the side. But Sailorcosmos was weak in her new form, and her shield of light flickered under the pressure of the power from the gun. Her knees buckled, and she raised her other arm to help her, but it didn't help, she still quivered under the power. Saturn stood behind Sailorcosmos and thrusted the point of her glave in front of the weakening senshi.
"Silence wall!" She yelled, and the purple wall of power succeeded Sailorcosmos's white light, and the beam of red turned in and the gun collapsed on itself. Theif#1 cursed and threw the gun down on the ground. She pointed at Saturn,
"I will be your downfall." She stated, and disappeared in the same wind thats she had come. Sailorcosmos fell backwards onto Saturn, and she wavered under her weight, Tuxedo Kamen picked up Sailorcosmos, and turned around to face them.
"Not a word to anyone." He said, pointing to the pilots, Quatre and Duo looked amazed, but the others looked unfazed. Tux Boy (hee hee) walked into a un-occupied room with Cosmos still in his arms. Starmoon sat down on the floor, and looked around at the people who lay unconscious on the floor. Starvenus also sat down, and so did Saturn.
"What're you doing?" Starmars asked,
"Meiunko's gone..." Starmoon said, and as she was speaking, Saturn stood and detransformed, leaving her ruffled sleeves and mini-skirt for her gown. The others detransformed as well, and Duo and Quatre stood shocked and amazed.
"What the hell is going on?" Quatre said, staring at Ami, everyone else stared at him.
"Yeah, what he said!" Duo yelled, pointing at Quatre. "Why are you guys not flipping out at this!?" He said, and looked from Hiiro to WuFei, to Trowa.
"I um..." Trowa shrugged "um..."
"You, Wu-man?"
"Injustice! What is this, 20 questions?!"
"H...Hiiro?" Quatre turned his aqua blue eyes on the silent Perfect Soldier.
"Hn."
"What?!" Minako yelled jumping up, "You mean that you guys told them?! I was the only sane one who kept my mouth shut?!"
"I didn't say anything," Makoto said, "Neither did Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna, " Minako nodded,
"Okay, four."
"I did..." Ami said,
"Who cares about you?! I said sane one, not genius!" Minako yelled, "Which ones of you told?"
"I told Trowa, and Hotaru was almost forced into telling Hiiro," Rei said, and shrugged, Ami looked bewildered.
"Did he threaten you, Hotaru?" Ami asked, looking stunned, Duo snickered, and so did Makoto a little bit.
"No." Hotaru snapped, Ami and Minako were overreacting, she expected something like this from Haruka, but she was amazed that she had been completely mute.
"Who told WuFei?"
"I did, Ami-chan," Usagi said from the doorway of a room.
"Usako?" Mamoru said, "Why?"
"I needed someone to talk to, at least WuFei listened to me."

Hotaru felt the uneasy silence in the room as Mamoru continued to stare Usagi down, but the princess held her ground.
"Umm, okay, that went well," Haruka said, "Now that everyone knows our secret, we can talk freely, ne?"
"Haruka, you're not making the situation any better," Hotaru said,
"Sorry, Hime-chan."
"I'm sorry your party was ruined, Quatre," Usagi said, "It's our fault, we were stupid to think that the world would forever be at peace."
"What about all these people?" Trowa asked, "Are they dead?"
"No, they're just unconscious." Hotaru said, and checked Relena's pulse.
"What was it?" Michiru said,
"A shockwave device," Hotaru said, "it's a very powerful tool. When my father was working on his experimental one, it could cause people to blackout for days. I can heal them, but it will take a long time,"
"No, Hotaru, you'll drain too much energy..."
"I know how!" Chibiusa said and jumped up. She reached up and pulled the Moon Wand out of her hammerspace pocket.
"Hey!" Usagi said, "I lost that!"
"You're absent-minded, Usagi, besides, you can't use it now that you're Sailorcosmos." Chibiusa said. "Moon cosmic power!" Chibiusa yelled, and transformed. "Moon princess haliation!!" Starmoon yelled, and the room was filled with life again. When she was done Starmoon ducked off into a room to detransform.

"It looks like your party is back on it's feet, Quatre." Ami said, "Listen, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about us, I truly thought that my friends would keep it a secret."
"It's alright, Ami, there are some things that I didn't tell you either," Quatre said.
"But you're going to tell me now, aren't you?" Ami asked, and Quatre nodded.

^^^

"Haruka, could you call a cab, I'd like to go back to the ocean. I want to see what it has to tell me." Michiru said to Haruka, who nodded,
"Get you're coat, I'll find a phone." Haruka said, and walked off to find Quatre. "Hey Q-boy, you got a phone around here?" Haruka said, running into Quatre. Quatre nodded and pointed to a isolated corner with a phone. "How nice," Haruka said and walked off. When she was done calling for a cab, she walked back to Michiru. "Ready, Michi?"
"Yeah,"
"Matte! I'm coming!" Hotaru yelled, running (as best she could in her dress) over to where Haruka and Michiru were standing by the door.
"Hime-chan, you've had enough of the party?" Haruka asked, and Hotaru nodded.
"Do you mind if we catch a ride with you?" Usagi asked, pointing to WuFei and Hiiro.
"I thought for sure you would be the life of a party, Usagi-chan," Michiru said, Usagi shrugged.
"I think we'll be needing two cabs," Haruka said, and knocked on the cab driver's window. "Hey, you, can you get on your little cabby-guy thing and call another cab?"
"Yes sir," The cab driver said, Michiru giggled, and got in the cab. Haruka followed, and Usagi got in next. Hotaru gave her a critical look.
"You can have my seat, if you want," Haruka said, Hotaru shook her head,
"No, it's okay. I'll sit with Justice boy and Soldier boy." Hotaru said, and shut the cab door.
"Ja ne, minna-san." Usagi called out the window as the cab drove away. Hotaru turned to WuFei.
"Why is she leaving?"
"Probably for the same reason you're leaving,"
"I can see that I'm not going to get a straight answer from you, am I?"
"Usagi and Mamoru are not..." WuFei started to explain,
"Getting along?" Hotaru suggested,
"Usagi's about ready to punch Mamoru-bakas face in." Hiiro said. Both WuFei and Hotaru looked at him. His face held little expression, and he had his hands in the pockets of his slacks.
"Yui, for a quiet guy, you sure pay attention well."
"It comes with the job description." Hiiro said, then the second cab pulled up and they got in in silence.

^^^

"So, what is it Serenity-hime?" Haruka said, once the cab was driving full speed on the highway.
"What do you mean, Haruka-san?"
"Don't play dumb with me," Haruka said, rather harshly, Michiru looked at her,
"Haruka, lower your voice, please. It isn't kind to speak to Usagi like that."
"It's the only way I can get answers out of anyone around here! Does Hotaru listen to me? No! I have to get rough with her, and sometimes she still doesn't listen to me! When has Usagi ever listened when she's upset...? Never!" Haruka said, the cab driver looked back at them through the mirror.
"If you must know, Haruka, Mamoru and I aren't getting along very well."
"What does that mean?"
"Well...I don't think that I love him anymore...and he doesn't love me, obviously."
"Usagi..." Michiru started, but Haruka held up her hand to stop her.
"No, Michi...Usagi has a point. I personally thought she deserved better then Mamoru in the first place."
"So, if you don't love Mamoru...then what?" Michiru said, ignoring Haruka.
"I...I don't know."
"What made you stop loving him? Did you fall in love with someone else?"
"I don't know. Maybe."
"Maybe?" Haruka asked skeptically, raising an eyebrow, "How is it maybe?"

^^^

Hotaru frowned and scowled at the same time. How exactly did she get stuck in between WuFei and Hiiro? She sat with her arms crossed, stairing straight ahead. Somehow she knew this was WuFei's fault.
"Do you know why Usagi left? Speak, dammit." She said under her breath. Both her companions looked at her. At one glance they could tell that she didn't look very happy, and that she was looking for answers.
"She's having a bad day," Hiiro suggested, Hotaru didn't buy it, and she was looking at WuFei anyway.
"You already know that Usagi and Mamoru are having problems, Hotaru." WuFei said, looking straight ahead, "She probably needed some space. Don't be so concerned."
"WuFei, you don't know how important it is that Usagi and Mamoru get married, if they don't, the whole future will be changed."
"I know, Usagi told me." WuFei said, and looked at Hotaru, she held her breath for a moment to calm herself.
"I don't suppose you want to tell me what Usagi means to you," Hotaru said. Hiiro looked at her, a warning look in his cold prussian blue eyes. She ignored the warning.
"She is innocent. She needs to be protected."
"We are protecting her." Hotaru stated.
"You're protecting Serenity-hime. Usagi needs to be protected as well." WuFei said, looking ahead again. Hotaru closed her eyes and leaned her head back.
"You're right." She whispered.

^^^

"Have any of you seen Usagi?" Mamoru asked Minako, Duo, Ami and Quatre; Chibiusa, Makoto and Shigai were working the refreshments.
"No, you might ask Rei, though." Ami said, Quatre nodded.
"She probably knows where she is." He said.
"Where is she?"
"With Trowa somewhere." Minako said, and shrugged. Mamoru frowned and walked off.
"Why did you guys lie? You know Usagi went with WuFei and Hiiro back to the mansion." Duo said,
"We didn't lie, technically." Quatre said, "Usagi asked us not to go to Mamoru and tell him where she went. We just told him that we haven't seen her, which is true."
"Q-man...You baaad!" Duo yelled, smiling. "C'mon, Minako-chan, let's go dance." Duo said, and grabbed Minako's hand.
"Bye guys." She said, and let Duo drag her away.
"Do you want to dance, Ami-chan?" Quatre asked, Ami nodded,
"Sure."

^^^

Mamoru found Rei and Trowa off in a corner talking and drinking champagne. When Mamoru came over, Rei looked up, and the look in her eyes showed annoyance.
"What?" She asked, Mamoru had gotten on her bad side lately,
"Have you seen Usako?"
"No," Rei said, "I haven't" Mamoru sighed, rubbed his temples and walked off.
"He doesn't look to happy," Trowa said, and Rei shook her head.
"He just realized that he's loosing Usagi,"
"Loosing her?"
"Yes, she doesn't love him anymore, I have a feeling." Rei said, looking at the floor. She looked up at Trowa and smiled a little. She scratched her head, "She'll figure it out though,"

^^^

As Haruka paid the cab driver, Michiru took Haruka's wallet and paid the other cab driver. Both cabs sped off, and the two ex Gundam Pilots and Sailorsenshi walked up the steps to the Mansion. Hotaru unlocked the door with the key Ami had given her, and they all walked in, most were exhausted. Right away, Usagi flopped onto the couch in the living room, and Haruka lay down on the floor. Hotaru stood over Haruka and gave her a serious look. Haruka opened one eye and looked at her from the floor. Hotaru folded her arms, "Haruka, it's your turn to make dinner. Since we're not staying at Quatre's party, you have to make dinner."
"Yeah, Haruka, just because Quatre's having his party doesn't mean that you get out of your chores," Michiru said, also crossing her arms.
"But Michi, I'm so tired...I can't find the strength to get up..."
"Oh, Haruka," Michiru said in exasperation, she shook her head and Hotaru sighed.
"I'll make dinner," Hotaru said, and headed for the kitchen.
"You made dinner yesterday," Hiiro said, Hotaru stopped walking and turned around.
"I did," Hotaru said, she sounded indifferent
"He's right, I'll make dinner," Michiru said,
"I can do it," Hotaru said with a frown,
"It's okay, Hotaru. You don't have to." Michiru said and smiled.
"You're so defensive, Hotaru, is something bothering you?" Usagi asked from her place on the couch.
"It must be the new enemy." Hotaru said, and frowned. "You have to work yourself up to fighting level, Usagi. We can't have you collapsing again."
"It's okay, Hotaru. This always happens to her when she gets a new form." Michiru said.
"But why?" Haruka asked, opening one eye, "We all got new forms. And Hotaru and Setsuna got even more advanced forms, we didn't have any problems controlling ourselves."
"Perhaps Usagi is not as open to change as you are." Hiiro said, pulling up a chair from the table. Haruka studied him, frowned, and shrugged.
"Whatever it is, I'm not sure that someone will always be there to protect you, Usagi. Hotaru's right, you have to tune your body into your new power." Michiru said,
"We also have something else to worry about. Hotaru is now Imperial Sailorsaturn. What does that mean? Since Saturn has awoken, does it mean that she will again bring ruin to this world?" Haruka said,
"I am in the room you know, if you want to talk about me, at least acknowledge that I'm here," Hotaru said, scowling.
"Of all the baka onnas in this house, you two and Setsuna-san are the most inconsiderate." WuFei said, and frowned.
"I agree, some people need to fine-tune their attitudes." Usagi said, and got up from the couch, she headed in the direction of her room.
"Michiru-san," Hotaru said with a frown, "if you're going to go make dinner, do it." Hotaru walked over to the back door and left through it, heading down to the beach. WuFei shook his head.
"Family problems,"
"I think I'm going to return a phone call." Hiiro said, and grabbed the mobile phone. "I'm going to find Hotaru." He took the phone with him to his room, and returned with the phone and his laptop. He walked out the same door Hotaru had, leaving WuFei alone and Michiru to go make dinner.

^^^

"I was going to call Dr. Spyndell back, due to the recent turn of events." Hiiro said to Hotaru. She turned around at the sound of his voice, and nodded. The wind blew a few strands of hair in her face, and she moved them and sat down on the sand. Hiiro sat down beside her and opened his laptop.
"What are you doing?" Hotaru asked, looking at him questioningly.
"Looking for that nutty guy's phone number." Hiiro said, Hotaru smiled and laughed a little. She picked up the phone, dialed three numbers and put the receiever up to her ear. She pressed another number and put the receiever up to her ear again.
"It's ringing." She said, and handed Hiiro the phone. He looked at her in confusion, but too the phone.
"Is this Dr. Spyndell?" Hiiro said into the phone, Hotaru watched him nod, then open his mouth to speak, and close it again. "uh-huh," he said, "yes," he glanced at Hotaru, looked at his shoes, then glanced at Hotaru again. "yes." He said, he sounded annoyed, his eyes widened, and he dropped the phone, looking quite enraged. Hotaru picked up the phone, frowning at Hiiro.
"Are you still there?" she said into the phone,
"Yes, is this Tomoe Hotaru?" He said, Hotaru looked astounded.
"Yes, this is she,"
"So you are Imperial Sailorsaturn..." It was more of a statement, then a question,
"Hang on," She said, and covered the phone, and looked at Hiiro. "How much did you tell him?!" She asked,
"Hardly anything! This guy knows everything! He knew where we were, he knows who we are, he even knows that Usagi is a princess! And he says that he knows who's behind the attack today. Keep him on the phone," Hiiro said, but when Hotaru returned to the phone, the crazy doctor had already hung up.

^^^

As Quatre said goodbye to the last guest, he turned to Ami, "Are you ready to go?" He asked, and Ami nodded, yawning slightly. The others had gone ahead, but Quatre and Ami had stayed behind to see the guests off. The two made their way to the limousine and got in, the darkness of light closing in.
