Chapter 8:
"Till we meet again . . . I always get what I want."
and disappeared through a portal.
"USAKOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!"
The spell that held them defenseless was now broken.
Tux ran to the portal only to see it close. He dropped to his knees
in despair and cried out in anguish as tears fell from his eyes.
The others, just comprehending what had happened, ran
to their prince. Malachite kneeled down and placed a hand on his
shouldar. Tux immediately pulled away.
Everyone fell silent. No one knew what to say or do.
Neptune: "We have to get it together and find her . .
. she's counting on us."
Zoicite: "Mercury and I should do a scan of the area
to try and determine where he took her."
Mercury took out her computer and with Zoicite's aid,
began scanning the spot where the portal opened. She also activated
the locator buttion to search for the silver crystal's signature.
A sudden, loud, beeping sound brought everyone out of
their thoughts.
Mercury: "Oh, no!"
Mars: "What!?"
Mercury showed the computer screen to Zoicite and a
grim look came over his features. Uranus being very impatient
exclaimed, "WHAT?!"
Zoicite: "The silver crystal is here, not with the
Princess."
Mercury walked with her mini data computer as the
beeping became louder and louder. She bent down and picked up the
locket that held the silver crystal. She clutched it in her hand and
walked over to Tux.
Tux had not moved from his spot. He was too distressed
to do anything. Upon hearing that she didn't have the crystal, he was
even more distressed.
'She can't even protect herself,' he thought.
Mercury knelt down before him and held the locket
before him. Tux looked at it. He stared at it for a long while before
slowly reaching out to get it. He took it and held it close to his
heart. He hoped that something would happen, anything. He hoped that
maybe the crystal would somehow begin to search for its keeper and lead
him to his beloved.
Malachite: "There's nothing more to do now. Lets go
back to Darien's and see what new information Luna and Artimas found."
Jedite: "He's right, Dar. Maybe whatever they found
out will shed light on this whole thing."
Dejected and unable to object, Tux got up and began
walking slowly towards his apartment, as the others followed behind
him.
As they went out of view, Saffir came out of his hiding
place.
'So, the Prince has the crystal. Diamond will want to
know right away.'
Just as he was about to leave, he felt a sudden gust of
wind. It began intensifying and hee used his arms to protect his eyes.
"What will Petz think about this?"
"Huh?"
A lone figure came out of the wind. She had green hair
put up in one "meatball" and wore an outfit similar to the sailor
soldiers. The only difference was that her skirt and fuku were green.
"You heard what I said. What will she think of your
involvement in this?"
"Why should I care about what she thinks?!"
"Because you love her."
"No, I don't."
"Keep denying it all you want, but you know in your
heart that you do. Before you say anything more, let me finish. Petz
and her sisters are quite fond of Serenity. They are also very
grateful to her for all she's done for them, as well as what she will
do for them in the future. You and I both know what your brother is
doing to her. He's keeping her there against her will and filling her
with more dark energy than she can handle. If he's not carefull with
how much he gives her, he could kill her, which is even more possible
since she doesn't have the silver crystal to protect her. Peta won't-"
"Don't you think I know that! But Serenity is the only
thing that hasn't completely made him like Wiseman. She has kept him
human and has shown me that my brother still has a heart. I can't help
you, I know its wrong, but I want my old brother back . . . I love
him."
With that, Saffir disappeared through a portal, leaving
Sailor Pluto by herself.
A lone tear made its way down her cheek as she too
disappeared into the night.
To have and not to hold
So hot yet so cold
My heart is in you hand
And yet you never stand
Close enough for me to have my way
To love but not to keep
To laugh but not to weep
Your eyes they go right through
And yet you never do
Anything to make me want to stay
Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
What can I do
I go straight to you
I've been told
To look but not to see
To kiss but never be
The object of your desire
And there's no one at all
To break my fall
-To have and not to hold, Madonna, Ray of Light
