The Rescue and New Plan
Revised Edition

Usagi was lying down on the vanilla bed she had awoken before moments ago, her side gave the occasional throb. She had no choice but to stay there and try to heal before trying to escape. What was worse, they had the Silver Crystal, which she couldn't leave without.
Her stomach growled, and for a split second she wished she had eaten before taking off like that, even if she had to eat with them. Slowly turning over on her back, she looked up at the blinding white ceiling above her. Usagi pressed her hand against her stinging eyes.
"How could this be happening… now?" No matter how hard she wrapped her mind around it nothing at all added up. How… how could Demando possibly be alive? Of all her enemies to be revived somehow or another, why did it have to be him? Everything about this was way to familiar, and like the last time, Usagi couldn't get Mamoru out of her mind. "Mamo-chan… you're coming for me this time right?"
After a few minutes passing silence as Usagi layed there slipping into sleep a clacking noise ricocheted off the high walls. Demando walked out of the center of the room and bent down next to the bed. He reached out his hand and tucked her golden hair behind her ears gazing at her with longing before bending down over her sleeping form and tasting her lips.
Demando took a slap to his cheek. Breaking the kiss and looking down, he saw Usagi wide awake, her hand shaking as it tightly gripped his wrist away from her face.
"Don't touch me…"
He merely smiled and dismissed himself from her side, standing and walking a little more into the room with his back turned. "Do you like this room princess? I had it specially designed for you." He looked back at Usagi, who was wiping her lips feverishly. "Modeled after the room you stayed in at my palace-"
"Modeled after?" Usagi finished wiping her mouth. "Then where are we?"
"Look outside…" Demando gestured to a small window next to a type of small sitting area Usagi hadn't noticed until now. She slowly got up from the bed and walked over to the window and placing her hands against the glass and gasped.
They were floating, some far distance beneath them Tokyo tower was just visible as they parted through the clouds. Everything became brighter. So all she had to do was get her crystal back, and she might be able to teleport down to Tokyo Tower…. But would she have enough power on her own and injured? Maybe she should wait tell Mamoru came…
"Do you really think Endymion will come for you?" Demando asked amused. She looked up to see him staring at her with knowing. Usagi ignored him and looked back out the window. He slipped his finger into her hair. "Even I can remember, how you waited in vain last time…" She continued to ignore him but it was proving harder as he moved his body closer to her.
She felt something touch the lower part of her back and whipped around to stare dead center into the eyes of Prince Demando. "I think it's time we discussed some things, like your living arrangement here."
"That's easy… I wont be." Breathed Usagi.
"I'm sure you'll reconsider that after we talk." He said.
"And why's that?" Demando reached into his pocket, and pulled out a golden locket in the form of a heart, with a small moon on its tip.
"Because I own you…"
Back in Tokyo everyone was looking for any sign at all to try and find Usagi. Chibi-Usa, Hotaru and Setsuna started at Ichi-No-Hashi Park. Meanwhile Ami and Makoto were over at Usagi's house looking around her room. Rei and Minako were at the game arcade and Haruka and Michiru were at Tokyo Tower tampering with their computers to look for any weird energy signals. Mamoru, who had been almost everywhere, decided to go meet Hotaru, Chibi-Usa and Setsuna at the park.
Ami and Makoto had been at Usagi's house for about an hour but found nothing. At the game parlor Rei and Minako had more luck. Outside on the street they found a torn piece of what they figured was Demando's cape, and along side it, that same black crystal that Mamoru had had with him, completely forgotten about in the chaos of the other night.
Rei took the crystal in her left right hand and looked up into the cloudy sky where Demando vanished with Usagi. Deciding to go with her hunch, she flipped her communicator open.
"Haruka-san, Michiru-san?" For a moment there was nothing but static then a voice came trough on the other end.
"Yeah what's up, you find anything?" Haruka asked.
"Kind of. I found that piece of crystal Mamoru had with him last night. Um… can you do a search for me though?"
"Sure, what of?"
"Can you search the sky above the Tokyo area?" Minako walked over to Rei from her own searching's and looked down at the communicator to see Haruka sitting in a large chair and Michiru walking towards her.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"In a minute." Rei said.
"Yeah hold on a second Rei. I'll call your right back." Haruka put her own communicator down and began checking the area with the satellites computer.
"Anything new yet?" Michiru asked leaning over her shoulder.
"No…nothing…. there doesn't seem to be anything unusual above Tokyo either." Haruka leaned back in the big chair and rubbed her eyes sighing. Michiru frowned and wrapped her arms around Haruka's shoulders.
"You can't do anything but keep trying." She said.
"Yeah I know." She picked the communicator up and called back. "Rei, I can't seem to find anything out of the ordinary."
"Damnit, I was hoping-"
"Wait Haruka! Look at this!" Michiru pointed to the screen. Far above Tokyo Tower, a dark object emerged from the clouds.
"What is that?" Haruka leaned in to try and get a closer look at it.
"What is it?" Rei and Minako asked together.
"I'm not completely sure, the damn picture wont come in clear enough." Haruka began racing around the controls trying to get a clearer image. Michiru calmly walked over and flipped a small switch allowing the vision to sharpen. Haruka grinned at her. "You mock me. What in gods name…"
"Did you get a clear picture of it?" Came Minako's voice.
"Look." Haruka held the communicator up so Rei and Minako could both see the image of what was some kind of black floating object, shaped like a crystal.
"I knew it!" Rei exclaimed. "They used those ships when we fought them."
"Ships? All right, come over here, tell everyone else. We need to teleport before it leaves."
Haruka and Michiru both left Tokyo Tower to meet everyone else outside the tower. Slowly but surely they all arrived, Setsuna arriving last with Chibi-Usa, Hotaru and Mamoru.
"What did you find?" Chibi-Usa asked urgently.
"That." Minako pointed up to the sky and everyone's eyes followed.
"What-"
"It's one of the Black Moon's attack ships. Remember, we've been in one before when we were captured by Rubeus." Said Rei.
"Lets go then. If Usagi's not there at least we know the way to her is there. Everyone transform. Jupiter Crystal Power…"
"Venus Crystal Power…"
"Mars Crystal Power…"
"Uranus Crystal Power…"
"Neptune Crystal Power…"
"Saturn Crystal Power…"
"Pluto Crystal Power…"
"Make-up!"
Colored light engulfed the girls as they transformed. Mamoru changed into Tuxedo Kamen as well, and ran to join the circle as everyone took hands preparing to transform.
Venus looked around the circle. "This is the first time we've transported with all the inner, outer senshi and Tuxedo Kamen without Usagi…"
"I'm sure it will be fine!" Luna came running up to the group soon followed by Artemis and Diana.
"We have enough power to compensate, lets go." Jupiter yelled out her power, as did everyone else. "Transportation!" A barrier of wind began to raise them up a few inches off the ground. With a flash of light they were gone.
"Good luck, everyone."
There was dark corridor after dark corridor, each dimly lit by torches of green flame. The air was ice cold and an odd chilling presence hung in the air that had nothing to do with the cold. There were many doors along the long twisting paths ahead.
"We've never seen this part of the ship before, only the control room I think it was." Mars caught the awe in Venus's voice.
"Don't sound so impressed. She could be anywhere." Said Mars. "Mercury can you-"
"No." She replied at once. "It won't work around here for some reason… I think there's energy interfering with it."
"Of course it won't." Saturn said looking around. "This area…I've never felt a dark aura like this before…I'm not even sure how our power would react down here…"
"S-should we split up?" Chibi-Moon hesitated in asking.
"No lets stay together." Pluto peered around a corner. "I don't like this feeling either, and we don't want anyone knowing we're here, especially not until we get Usagi first. It'll be slower, but safer that way. This way's fine." She added pointing around the wall.
"Alright lets go." Uranus stepped out from the crowd and took the lead around the corner and down another dark, green-lit corridor. They kept walking, turning down corridor after corridor until they heard voices.
"It's coming from up those stairs." Tuxedo Kamen stretched out his arm and pointed to a tall staircase in front of them, leading up to a door.
"If it's that Demando, I'm going to beat the crap out of him till he takes us to Usagi." Uranus growled joining everyone in climbing the stairs.
"No you won't!" Neptune hissed in her right ear.
"Demando wouldn't play into that Uranus." Jupiter whispered. "You don't know him like we do. He's-"
"Alright, alright. But when we beat the shit out of these guys, leave me a piece of him." She scowled.
Jupiter smiled and was about to say something back when Neptune said, "SHHH!" The babble of voices started to become clearer. Neptune cracked the door open and looked out with one eye, trying hard not to fall out into the black marbled but normally lit hall in front of her, as she felt everyone crowd up from behind.
"Damnit, shut up about it already!" Safiel snapped.
"Whatever. Don't pretend you don't want to know whats going on-" Rubeus was cut off.
"I don't give a DAMN what brother does with that girl!" He spat. Everyone behind the door moved in a bit closer at the mention of Demando, and who they surely thought, was Usagi.
"So you do not care if the future Queen of the White Moon becomes your relation?" Rubeus raised an eyebrow.
"That will never happen! I wont allow it!" Esmerodo screeched.
"Stupid woman don't make me laugh! Like the prince would be persuaded or attracted by you. Your petty jealously was the end of you once already. The prince has powerful ways… it's only a matter of time before he gets what he wants out of her…" Rubeus laughed harshly as Esmerodo shook with rage and Safiel just looked sick.
"How dare… how dare... how dare she touch him, that little…" Esmerodo continued to shake.
"More like the other way around, but all the same. She wont be able to resist him with that injury of her." Rubeus smirked. Both Tuxedo Kamen and Uranus made to move forward, put were pulled back quickly by Mars and Neptune who told them to calm down under their breathe. .
"Will you stop that's sickening…" Safiel continued to look at him with complete disgust. Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Prince Demando walking toward them from around the corner.
"Back so soon your highness?" Esmerodo elbowed Rubeus hard in the side.
"Did anything happen?" She asked cautiously.
"She sure has grown up… Serenity…" Smirking he turned his back to them signaling them to follow with his hand. As their footsteps faded and then died away, Neptune pushed the door open and everyone spilled out of it.
"BASTARD!" Uranus shouted.
"Uranus shhhh!" Neptune looked around in alarm.
"But they made it sound as if Demando-" Neptune placed a hurried hand over her mouth and nodded at Chibi-Moon. She lowered her eyes in understanding and Neptune removed her hand. Uranus looked to Tuxedo Kamen. "He hasn't done anything like that before has he, I mean Demando and Usagi, back when they-"
"No. Usagi never said anything." He told her.
"He's kissed her, that's all." Mercury said. Chibi-Moon made an odd movement, as though wanting to walk away but didn't.
"Would he… would he?" Uranus pressed on further.
"I-I don't know…" Mercury exchanged anxious glances with everyone else.
"He came from that way, we're leaving." Uranus pushed through everyone and strode over to where Demando came. "Bang on all the doors, see if any are ajar…"
But there was no need for that. There was only one large double door around the corner at the end of the hall.
"She has to be in there, there's no where else, but it's locked." Saturn tried gripping the handle and forcing the door back and forward but it wouldn't budge.
"Usagi!" Venus screamed banging on it. "Usagi are you in there?"
"Let me take care of this." Uranus signaled them to move aside. She thrust her hand outward where a glowing yellow light appeared grabbing it as it morphed into a sword. "Space Sword!" The attack hit the doors with full force sending one of them to come crashing off the hinges onto the floor. The other wobbled hanging like a loose tooth.
"Everyone?" Usagi was half sitting, half standing by a small window, eyes wide and face full of shock. Her top was still bandaged and she still wore her red skirt. The blood on her side was dry once more but her bare shoulders now bore red scratches and a red marking on her left cheek stung her face.
Tuxedo Kamen ran forward first flinging his arms around her and she buried herself in his embrace. They broke apart as everyone else filed in close around them. Usagi smiled weakly at him.
"I knew you'd come…" She said. He looked sadly at her, moving his hand gently over her reddened cheek.
"What happened?" He asked. His hand made its way down her neck to her scratched shoulders, where he gently rubbed those as well. She took his hand in hers and rubbed her face against it.
"Nothing." She smiled. "He just got angry when I resisted him."
"Resisted?" Venus questioned.
"He has the crystal." She said quickly. "I can't leave without it. I tried to get it, but…" She cocked her head to indicate her wounds. Everyone looked at her with sadness in their eyes, but Chibi-Moon looked at her in surprise. Usagi frowned at her and made a small movement to shake her head.
"Maybe some of us should go take Usagi back while the rest of us stay here and look for it." Neptune asked.
"No I'm coming to look with you." Usagi said sternly.
"But Usgai-"
"No. Besides who knows what he'd do with it if he realized I wasn't here anymore."
"Oh, alright." Neptune placed a loving hand on her princess' shoulder. "Where are your things?" Usagi found her shirt and with help from Mercury and Saturn, pulled it over her head while Tuxedo Kamen slipped on her boots. They left the room and cautiously checked each corner before continuing.
"Any idea where Demando is from here?" They stopped in front of the door they had originally come out of.
"Let me check." Mercury pressed the small stud on her ear so the visor would appear. Then she took out her mini computer. "This should work now. Mmm…it looks like they're in some large room with a long table. Looks like a dinner hall to me."
"I know where that is. It's down a couple levels. I had to find my way back up here from there." Usagi led them down two floors to a small corner of a hallway where a black regular looking door was. "In there."
"So how should we do this?" Saturn asked.
"I'll go in and make him show me that he has it with him. Then I'll distract him while someone knocks it out of his hand with an attack." said Usagi.
"No!" A few of the Senshi shouted.
"I don't want you distracting him." Tuxedo Kamen took her hand. "I don't like that idea."
"Nor do I!" Uranus yelled. "Who knows what that pervert might try."
"Nothing!" Usagi tried to reason with them. "Besides you're all right there anyway!"
"Tuxedo Kamen… Uranus…we don't have much of a choice in the matter." Pluto pointed out. Both of them looked at Usgai who smiled and nodded.
"When I push the door open, you guys sneak in behind me and stay close to the wall." Usagi reached out her hand and pushed the door open. It was dark like before, making it perfect for the Senshi to sneak in unnoticed behind her. Once they were all inside, Usagi closed the door with an intentional bang and moved quickly away from her friends into the center of the room. As she moved her surroundings lit and the table and its occupants became visible.
"Welcome your highness." Demando made a small bow with his head but the rest of his family only glared.
"I want my crystal Demando." The prince smiled and stood from his chair.
"For a price." He said walking over to her. Safiel looked away as Demando took Usagi's wrist, but Rubeus and Esmerodo continued to watch.
"A price?" Usagi repeated.
"More of an exchange. You want this-" He took the locket out of his pocket with his free hand. "And I want you."
"Damnit I can't stand this." Uranus said quietly.
"I can't aim she's in the way." Mars said desperately.
"I'm afraid any other price wont be worth it." Demando continued to talk holding her in place. She knew nothing could be done while she was in the way of an attack, so she decided to try and take matters into her own hands.
For a fraction of a second a grin spread on the prince's face as Usagi jumped on top of him, but realized in time what she was doing. Her fingertips barley brushed the bottom of it before she was blasted off him to the ground.
"NOW!" Uranus cried.
"What the?" Demando looked upward.
"MARS FLAME SNIPER!"
"SPACE SWORD!"
The whole room lit as the attacks were cast. Demando was thrown backward in the blast, dropping the locket on the floor where his feet had stood. Venus shot from the wall across the room and slid the last few feet on the floor, scooping the locket into her hands. Everyone sprinted in Venus's shadow.
"Usagi are you alright?" Chibi-Moon asked bending down with Jupiter and Pluto.
"Fine, fine." She waved them off as the light from the attacks died. Behind what appeared to be a fading energy field stood Rubeus, Esmerodo, Safiel and Demando, who wore a sour expression.
"Sailor Senshi…" Rubeus growled.
"Serenity will stay here!" Demando shouted.
"Not on your life! Usagi!" Venus slid the locket across the floor to her. Safiel raised his hands at them as Usgai raised hers.
"Silver Moon Crystal Power Make-Up!" Usagi felt renewed as the power of her crystal washed over her as she transformed into Eternal Sailor Moon. Tuxedo Kamen handed over her wand, which he had collected the other night. "Starlight Honeymoon Therapy!" The blast cancelled out Safiel's attack.
Saturn stepped in front of Sailor Moon and pointed her glaive in Demando's direction. "Prince Demando…we give you this last chance. Stay away from Serenity, leave this planet and never return. The next time I see you, I will kill you." Before another attack could be muttered, Saturn had grabbed her fellow senshi's hands and they teleported.
"Damn them… damn them all to hell!" Rubeus spat on the floor where they vanished. "Now what prince…prince?"
"It will take more time, but it will be well worth it in the end." Demando said staring where Sailor Moon had gone. "I have a new plan. We'll just have to pick off the Senshi one by one, until Serenity is alone. You all may of course, have the duty of doing so." Rubeus and Esmerodo smiled wildly. Safiel forced himself up and looked up at his brother with a broad grin.
"It will be my honor…"

The Return of Prince Demando
