[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Yaten leaned back into his chair. "So, we don't know who's next?"

Usagi had her head on the table. "Ie."

"We shouldn't just sit around. I'm going to check out the gates." Setsuna gave a stern look at Yaten and Usagi. "If you know anything, you'll stay on alert."

" Go easy on them Setsuna-san. They've lost a great deal of friends." Michiru kept her hand over Haruka's.

"Stay on alert. That's all the warning I can tell you." Haruka looked both in the eyes, making her statement her.

Michiru got up from the table, as well as Haruka and Setsuna. The three walked away.

Usagi glared in their direction. "I'm not an idiot." She called back to them. They hadn't heard her.

"Usagi-san, they have a point, we should be careful." Hotaru took a sip of her soda.

Usagi glanced at the toddler. "You're so smart. But there's no reason for you to be looking out, you'll just get reborn again."

~~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~

Haruka stepped in front of Michiru. "Who are you?"

Cassie smirked. "Your worst nightmare. Look, Echo, more people to play with."

Setsuna stepped back as the pre-teen girl stepped forward.

"Oh, so you remember me, Setsuna-san?" Echo laughed.

"Setsuna?" Michiru whispered.

Setsuna didn't glance at the sea senshi, her eyes filled with horror stayed on Echo.

"A long long time ago, before everyone was dead and had to be reborn. A young servant girl to the princess of pluto was recognized. The princess of pluto felt bad for this kind young servant girl, whose parents had died the year before. The princess of pluto felt that it was her duty to train the girl, as she wouldn't be in the palace forever to serve the royal family." Echo licked her lips. "And so she trained the girl, to be as good a fighter as she. Then, Lana-sama found me, after all the princesses died. Explaining, her job had been taken care of by that idiot Beryl. I was trained by the best of the best and became even stronger."

Cassie laughed. "It seems we all have a connection to the senshi." She threw balls of fire zooming towards Michiru. Haruka knocked Michi out of the way and got hit by the fire instead. Her body began fading slowly, a blue topaz starting to form at the center of herself. Michiru cried out in sorrow. She kept whispering reassuring words to the senshi of wind, but knew it would do no good. Even knowing it'd do no good, she kept hoping and praying it'd work.

"Haruka, onegai don't leave me. Onegai." Michiru wept. Setsuna glanced down sorrowfully at her comrades.

"Well, let's see." Echo smiled and sent a pillar shooting from the ground beneath Setsuna.

Setsuna glanced down, only to see she was much higher than she thought. "Michiru!"

Echo floated up. "Setsuna, onegai, don't make this any harder on yourself than it needs to be." The girl smirked and sent vines toward the keeper of time. The vines enclosed the screaming Setsuna in a cage, slowly growing smaller, and as it grew smaller, sapping the energy from her.

Michiru was still screaming and weeping as the blue topaz was all that was left of Haruka. The blue topaz began to float towards Cassie, but Michiru tackled the air, grasping the gem in her hands. "Ie, I won't let you have her!"

"Oh please." Cassie muttered softly. She sent a few balls of fire towards michiru, making the senshi of sea drop the gem and fall to her knees. An aquamarine stone replacing her body slowly.

Echo smirked as the garnet stone of pluto floated into her hands. "Well, it seems we've succeeded." Cassie smiled, grabbing the two stones and disappearing, Echo following. No evidence was left.

~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~

"They have to have a way to get in from the outside world, all the enemies do."

Ramya glanced over at Aisu. "How do you know?"

"Easy, it's just logic. They want you to come to them."

"Ri-ight."

"I've got the coordinates, but I don't think you'll like them." Tryphena looks up from her mini-computer.

"What are they?" Ramya's head turned as quick as possible, she stared at the new senshi.

"Well, it says in the mountains."

"Great. Can we teleport to the coordinates? Or must we travel by some other mode of transportation?"

"We can try teleporting. Just keep your mind set on the the mountains."

The girls grasped each others hands, shouting at the same time, "Teleport!"

The group of girls landed in ice cold snow at the peak of a mountain. "Well. We're here. This is the moutain where the portal is. Just a matter of getting to the portal." Tryphena glanced around.

"Mina-san, henshin yo!" Ramya stated. Although, it was more of an order than a statement.

"Ice Star Power."
"Thunder Star Power!"
"Wind Star Power!"
"Fire Star Power!"
"Ocean Star Power!"
"Crystal Star Power!"

"MAKE UP!" They all screamed in unision. In a flurry of ribbons and images, the girls stood in their senshi uniforms.

Star Crystal took the lead. "Follow me." The other senshi abided by her sudden act of leadership and followed her.

~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~

"Now, star senshi, meet your doom." Bavol smirked.

Yaten glared at him and backed up some, he had to get out of public. He turned around and ran the way opposite of Bavol.

"Makes it all the more fun." Bavol cracked his knuckles and ran after Yaten.

Yaten's silver hair flew every which way. Clouds formed above the city, and not too long later it began to pour rain. As much as he hated running, it was the only chance he had.

"Come back here, girlie." Bavol called out every once in a while.

Soaking wet silver hair clinged to the young mans face and suit. Panting heavily, he turned into an alleyway, hoping to get a moments rest so he'd be able to catch his breath. "I guess I'm next." He muttered to himself. He bent down and sprang up quickly, jumping onto the roof. When he landed on the roof he transformed.

The silver haired senshi ran along the roof tops, Bavol close at her heels. She jumped across the fifth building and tripped when she landed. Star Healer was caught now.

"Hah, I knew you couldn't run forever, girlie." Bavol smirked. He lifted his right hand to face Healer and was about to let out a tremendous force of wind when a rose knocked his had away from where Healer sat.

"Picking on girls is the worst, even if they aren't girls in both forms. I won't allow you to harm anyone else, not today, not ever."

Healer looked up, relief showing in her eyes. "Tuxedo Kamen!"

Tuxedo Kamen smiled down at Healer and jumped off the tree branch he stood in. He helped Healer up and both faced Bavol.

"You know, I really don't care what you say. I may as well take you as well." Bavol redirected his pal towards the two of them and let out a tremendous force of wind. Both Kamen and Healer flew back. Bavol held his hands together, collecting energy once more. Before Kamen and Healer could move he slung the air towards the two, neither had a single breath in their lungs anymore. A blue topaz gem and a golden topaz gem floated towards Bavol, who caught both. He stuffed the blue topaz into his pocket and handled the golden topaz with care. Lana needed Healer's gem, not Kamen's.

~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~

Lana smiled. "Very well done Bavol. Now, I must ask of you for something, but I cannot let you know until all my generals are here."

One of her guards clanged the gong, and all the generals appeared in front of her, each bowing in respect.

"You may all stand. Kepa, bring me the goddess." Lana motioned boredly for all her generals to stand. Kepa entered with Celeste.

Celeste wore a long yellow gown, shimmering in the dim light. It had no sleeves and she wore a sash draped across her arms. Her long golden hair was pulled p into a bun, a silver tiara sat in her hair.

"Lsgieh gowaih!" Celeste screamed through the black gag that covered her mouth. Her cold blue eyes glared up at Lana as she was struggling against thhe grip of the guard and Kepa. Her yellow gloved hands were tied in front of her and her bare feet were tied together.

Lana laughed. "Well, it seems she doesn't like it here." She waved her hand and a throne, smaller than hers but still grandeur, appeared next to her throne. "Tie her to this throne."

Kepa and the guard nodded in understanding and forced Celeste down into the thrown. Kepa held the girl into the throne while the guard wrapped rope around her and the throne and tied a large knot at the back. Kepa then binded Celeste's ankles to one of the legs of the throne. Celeste continued to scream and throw a fit, even though it did her no good.

"Collect the elemental goddesses on their journey here. I want to leave Star Crystal alone to fight me." Lana waved her hand and five more grand thrones appeared in the room. "They'll try and use their princess powers on you, right before they do so, attack them. Don't kill them, but bring them here and tie them to their respective throne." She waved her hand once more and the symbols of each elemental appeared on a separate throne.

Each general bowed in respect and disappeared.
