Reuisu yawned and put his hand down on the handprint scanner for the Void.  The scanner reads his handprint and the entrance to Reuisu's dimensional Void opens.  Reuisu smiled, remembering so many years ago when he has first established it.  The scientific knowledge had come from the Sailor Centauri armor.  Reuisu wondered many times how the Sailor Centauri armor had become so filled with knowledge and information when the information hadn't been inputted into it in the first place.  He shook it off and walked into the Void.

 

BAM!

 

Something hard had hit Reuisu in the face.  He stumbled to the side, losing his balance and falling down.  He recovered quick enough to see the small, golden demon coming down at him.  Reuisu rolled out of the way as the demon made contact with the ground.  Reuisu attempted to get back up and fight the demon, but the demon was fast enough to come onto Reuisu and pin him down.

 

The demon was indeed a golden color, and no more than three feet tall.  It had large teeth coming out of the bottom of his mouth, which rested on a small, round head.  Rough, rocky scales were on his forehead and shoulders, and the only power that seemed truly available to him was his strong hands and legs.  He attempted to hit Reuisu into unconsciousness, but as Reuisu's pain and rage increased, so did his inhuman powers.

 

Reuisu's eyes glowed a bright blue, and the demon was immediately shoved off of Reuisu by an unseen force.  Reuisu floated up, glowing in a golden aura as his eye color changed from blue to gold.  The demon leapt at Reuisu again, but Reuisu roared at it.  The roar had enough psychic emanations to blow the demon's head apart, and it did.  Reuisu looked down at the bloody mess lying in his Void, which was already being cleaned up by the strange physical laws that were implemented in the parallel dimension.  Reuisu's inhuman powers subsided, and he walked over to the console that held his communication circuits.

 

Reuisu: This is Reuisu to all Titans: I have just been attacked by a demon that was within the Void!  Please acknowledge signal and proceed to the Void immediately!

 

Reuisu waited for the confirmation signal from all of the Titans.

 

None came.

 

Reuisu: I repeat, this is Reuisu!  Confirm my signal!

 

Still no answer, text or audio.

 

Reuisu: Computer, locate Communicator signal for Lucy Yubiwa.

 

Computer: Lucy Yubiwa's Communicator is in the alley next to Titans' Coffee.

 

Reuisu quickly ran outside the Void and out of the storeroom of the Coffee shop.  He ignored the customers that stared at him as he ran out the door of Titans' Coffee and turned left to the alley next to it.  He looked around the alley, not seeing Lucy anywhere.  He then saw what was on the ground.

 

Lucy's communicator was sitting on the ground, blinking to indicate that a message was waiting for her.  Reuisu bent over and picked it up.  A small piece of gold blood was under it.  Reuisu recognized it as blood from the demon that had attacked him.  Reuisu pulled out from his pocket his personal uplink to his computer.

 

Reuisu: Computer, locate Michelle Tsuki-Kagayaku.

 

Computer: Michelle Tsuki-Kagayaku's communicator is in her apartment.

 

Reuisu grabbed the cell phone from his pocket and dialed Michelle's number.  After four rings, the answering machine got it.

 

Answering Machine: Hi!  You've reached the residence of Michelle and Tyrael Tsuki-Kagayaku!  I'm not here right now, so you should leave a message for me and Tyrael or I will-

 

Reuisu hung up.

 

Reuisu: Computer, is Miya Aino still in her hospital bed?

 

Computer: Affirmative.

 

Reuisu: Computer, locate Chris Allot, Christine Finnethy, Anna Ichimei, and Tara Silvers.

 

Computer: Chris Allot's communicator is at Tokyo General Hospital.  Christine Finnethy's communicator is at the intersection of streets Fifth and Main.  Anna Ichimei's communicator is in her room at Crystal Tower.  Tara Silver's communicator is not in Crystal Tokyo.

 

Reuisu: Good!  Wherever she was kidnapped to, she must've brought it along with her.  She must've gotten my signal, so I just have to wait for her to use it to contact me.  I'll head over to the hospital to make sure Miya's all right.

 

 

 

 

 

Reuisu ran out of the elevator and down the hall and turned in to Miya Aino's room.  He gasped as he saw another of the demons that had attacked him standing over Miya's unconscious body.  It looked as though he was going to pick her up and take her out of the room, but Reuisu roared at it and charged at him.  The demon turned to see him and leapt into the air.  Reuisu missed when he attempted to grab it, and the demon came back down, kicking him in the head and bringing him down.

 

Reuisu pushed the demon off of him and got back up.  However, the demon's fist connected with his face, making him fall on his side.  He got back up and blocked the demon's attempt to kick him in the stomach.  The demon then jumped up and kicked Reuisu with his other foot.  Reuisu's lip began to bleed, and Reuisu punched the demon as hard as he could in the face.

 

He thought as though he had broken his fingers when his fist had made contact.

 

The demon growled and jumped onto Reuisu, bearing its teeth at him.  Reuisu cringed as he smelled the demon's awful breathe and saw it's drooling saliva coming out of its mouth.  He kept the demon away from biting at him, but he was quickly weakening.  He tensed his muscles up more, attempting to push the demon away from him.  All of a sudden, the demon stopped resisting as a look of pain appeared on its face.  The demon's eyes rolled back and it fell onto Reuisu, dead.  Reuisu looked up to see Tyrael standing over him with Azurewrath dripping with blood from the demon.

 

Tyrael: Foul creatures, Enslaved.  They used to serve Baal before he was destroyed.

 

Reuisu pushed the demon off of him and sighed as he saw the blood had stained the shirt and pants he had been wearing.  Tyrael held out his hand, and Reuisu took it, standing up.

 

Reuisu: Thank you, Tyrael.  What the bloody hell is going on?!  First I'm attacked in my Void, then I find out all the Titans are missing, and now that...  What did you call it?

 

Tyrael: Enslaved.

 

Reuisu: That Enslaved tried to kidnap Miya!  For God's sake, what's going on?!

 

Tyrael: Well, Reuisu, I do know what's going.  You're going to want to sit down for this one, though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chris Allot's eyes fluttered open.  He saw leather boots in front of him and tried to remember for a moment who he was and what he was doing there.  He suddenly remember who he was, and the last thing he remember was going into Tara's apartment to speak with her about how he was ending their relationship, and then something hard hit him in the head, and now this.

 

Voice: Wakey wakey, my dear Titan.

 

Chris was confused, but the voice that spoke to him sounded familiar.

 

Voice: I never thought you'd wake up.  I was worried Argent's demon had hit you too hard. 

 

Chris suddenly recognized the voice and he didn't believe it one bit.  He had only heard it so many times, but the voice was something that he remembers all too well.

 

It was the voice of Charsi.

 

Charsi: What's the matter, Titan?  You look as though you've never seen a dead woman before.
