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. Els
