' ( Beautiful Soldier Sailor Moon ) Writers Forward : This story revovles around Ami and Urawa, a sorta love/character-building FanFic. The only other Senshi I really included is Sailor Moon (and a little Tuxedo Kamen). Sorry for all you Makoto, Minako and Rei fans, but you might find this story interesting anyway! For all you people who got started on Sailor Moon through the American TV series, I'll give you the "Translations" from the Japanese names that I'll be using, to the American names that some of you might be more familiar with. I didn't translate everything, but if you're a Sailor Moon fan you'll get the idea! I'll list the Japanese names as the Japanese do, last name first.

He was in a cold sweat and his heart was racing. He looked out the window at the dawning sun, "Ami, no!" It was a clear morning in Tokyo. It had rained that night and the air had a fresh smell to it. Two girls were walking to school together when one started talking. "So Ami-chan, you breeze through yesterday's exam?". She blushes, "Well, yes I did. I managed to get a perfect score. All my studying really pays off Usagi. You should try it." Usagi yawns, "Well maybe, but I think getting to school on time is hard enough." Ami smiles and they continue on their way. When they reach the school they wave and part their separate ways to classes. Usagi begins thinking to herself, "You know, Ami is so smart. I wonder why she bothers to study? Man, what I wouldn't give to be THAT smart." Usagi quickly forgets what she was thinking about and continues on her way. But little does she know that she is not the only one with those thoughts in mind. Professor Eiji was sitting at his desk paging though some notes and reports. The papers all had one main subject, the human mind. His laboratory had all sorts of various types of equipment. Some recognizeable, some very strange. Computers were displaying HEX code and genetic strings, tubes were syphoning strangely colored fluids, and the rest of his lab had the same genious/mad scientist theme. Eiji tosses a handful of papers into waste basket and begins to study one paper with particular interest. The paper was a news paper clipping of a young junior high school student with a 300 IQ. He shoves the rest of the clutter off his desk and slams the clipping down. "Ami Mizuno... you're just what I've been looking for..." He begins an evil chuckle. Urawa knelt at the table where he was eating some cereal. He didn't even taste it. His mind was elsewhere. He looked about his empty house. His mother and father already at work. And he let out a deep sigh. Had his dream been just that, a dream, or was it a vision of the future shown to him by his powers? "Ami-chan... no..., I've got to do something." He drops his spoon into his bowl and goes back to his room. He begins putting some things into a back-pack. "That's it, dream or not, I'm going to her." He gets everything he needs and leaves a note to his parents that he's going to stay with freinds. They were busy, and he was already very independent. They wouldn't worry. Urawa leaves the house and heads for the train station. After school, Ami and Usagi met and walked home together. They are both talking. "So everybody else is gone?" asks Ami. "Yup, Rei is off meditating at Mount Fuji with her Grandpa, Minako is in France visiting friends, and Makoto went to a cooking expo in China. Even Artemis is with Minako. We're all by ourselves! Isn't your mom out of town as well?" "Yes, she is in Germany speaking at a doctors convention. Well, tommorow there isn't any school. Do you feel like doing something?" "Yeah! We can go see a movie or something! I'll be at your house at 8:00 in the morning, Ok?" "Sounds good, I'll see you then Usagi-chan!" And they separate. Urawa had a difficult time getting a train ticket to Tokyo as they were all sold out until 6:30. So buy the time he got to Tokyo it was nearly 8:30. Then he had to get through the bustling streets of Tokyo and find Ami. His heart was racing. He kept seeing Ami.. dead. It made him sick to his stomach to even think of it. As he fumbled his way through Tokyo, he tried to decipher his vision/dream. He could feel that the events would start today. He remembered seeing Ami in darkness, suddenly she was gone. "Night time," he thought. "Something will happen to her tonight." Then all he could remember was that she was in great pain, and then... nothing. He didn't even want to think about it. Whatever it was, he was here to stop it. If Ami taught him one thing, it was that the future wasn't written yet. HE would change it tonight. Ami had gone out that night to get some groceries at the market. Usagi had called and said she would make her some of her famous Usagi curry the next day, so Ami had gone to get the ingredients for her. As she stepped out of the market, she looked up at the beautiful starry sky. However, not watching where she was going, she suddenly bumped into someone. She loses her grasp on her groceries and they drop to the ground. "Oh, gomen nasai, I wasn't watch..." She looks up at the person's face, "...ing, Urawa!! What a surprise!" Urawa is so overcome with emotion to see Ami, he can barely talk. "Urawa? Is everything ok?" "What? Oh, yeah. Everything is fine, I was just surprised to see you. Let me help you with your groceries." Urawa scoops up all of Ami's groceries and begins carrying them for her. "So Urawa, what are you doing in town?" "Uh, well, I just felt like visiting you, Ami." Urawa felt no need to alarm Ami by telling her his terrible visions. He would just have to keep a close eye on her. "Really? Oh Urawa-kun, I'm so happy! I haven't talked to you in a while, I was wondering how you were doing." "Well, you know. I've been kind of busy with school and all, but I'm doing ok." "I know what you mean. School and being a Senshi takes nearly all my time, but Usagi makes sure I have some fun too." Urawa smiles, "What are these groceries for anyway? Looks like curry?" "Oh, Usagi is coming over tommorrow, we are going to see a movie, and then she is going to make some curry for me. Would you like to join us?" Urawa thinks to himself how perfectly this is all working out. But what if the attack comes tonight? "I'd love to, thanks. So, what are you doing tonight?" "Well, nothing really, just a little studying I guess." Urawa knew that if Ami was speaking so lightly of studying, she must want to spend some time with him. "Want to go to the carnival then? Can you study later?" "Of course I can study later, and I'd love to go to the carnival." Ami smiles pleasantly and offers Urawa her hand. Urawa blushes slightly, but takes her hand into his. They begin walking together. Professor Eiji sat at his workbench fiddling with a piece of electonics. A small view screen to the left of him would periodically display a wave pattern every so often. Finally, the wave pattern came on, and stayed on. "Excellent! This will allow me to read brain waves. It will be perfect to test little Ami's brain." he mumbled to himself. He fastened the small monitor to the part he was working on. It looks sort of like a gun, but the various wires and other parts connected to it makes it look more like a laser cannon. He points it at various objects in the lab. The view screen shows nothing. He points it at his own head, and a steady wave flows across the screen. He frowns slightly at the screen. "Hmph, if this next little experiment goes well, this device will not even be able to measure MY brain's potential." A rugged looking man of 25 walks into the room, followed by two other smaller, but no less menacing than the first. The rugged man starts talking, "Mr. Mendo would like to know why you will be needing us." "I need you to fetch something for me. If all goes well, Mendo will be more than happy for letting me borrow you, Kazuya. Besides, this little task will be very simple." "And what would that be, Eiji?" Eiji holds up a picture of one Ami Mizuno. =========== The annual carnival was being held in Tokyo and it stayed opened late, until 12:00. Ami and Urawa walked out of carnival together. Urawa was carrying ALOT of plush animals and other prizes that he had won for Ami. He had known which games that he would've lost at, and didn't bother with those. Urawa rearanges his armfuls of prizes and looks at Ami. "Do you want to study in the park?" Ami turns to him with a look of surprise. She was so happy that Urawa was treating her to all this, but something bothered her. Urawa looked as though he had something heavy on his mind, something that made him feel that he needed to come and see her. Perhaps for the *last* time... "I, I would love to. Let me get my books." They both walk to Ami's house and take all the prizes inside. Ami leaves with just her bookbag. The park was close to her house and the walk was short. They find a comfortable, well-lit area and sit down. They study for a moment, but then Ami puts her pencil down and turns to Urawa. "Urawa? Why are you doing all this? I mean, this isn't like you." "What do you mean? I just wanted to visit. Why?" "It just seems you're hiding something from me. Is there something you want to tell me?" A lump forms in Urawa's throat. Ami was not only smart, she was observant. "Well it's... it's..." He can't tell her. The vision makes even him uneasy. "It's nothing. I just wanted to tell you... I... I.." He wants to say I love you. But the words just can't form. Ami comes close to him, and before he can say anything else, kisses him. Usagi puts down the telephone receiver. She has been trying to call Ami all night. "Hmm, I bet she fell asleep studying or something." Then Chibi-Usa stops drawing and turns to Usagi. "Or maybe she went on a romantic date with Urawa who suddenly decided to visit her and they're both in a park kissing." They both look at each other, Simultaneously, "Nahhhhh." Suddenly, Singo opens the door to her room. "Hey, guess how many Usagis it takes to screw in a light bulb?" "You're not getting me with that one again!! Get out of my room!!" Usagi picks up a pillow and hurls it at a laughing, fleeing Singo. She turns to Chibi-Usa who is giggling as well and just glares at her. Chibi-Usa instantly stops giggling. After the kiss, a nervous Urawa decides they both need to get some sleep. "Where are you staying Urawa?" "I have some yen. I'll stay at an over-night hotel. I'll be fine." "Are you sure you wouldn't mind staying here? Maybe on the couch?" Urawa begins to sweat profusely, "Uh, Uh... Uh, no, no.. I'll, I'll just stay at a hotel. Uh.." "Well OK then. I'll see you tommorow at 8:00 am then?" "On the dot." "See you tommorow, Urawa-kun..." "Good night, Ami-chan." They watch each other as they walk away, but finally turn when they can't see each other any more. When Ami gets home, she drifts off quickly and is soon sleeping peacefully. Urawa doesn't go to a hotel though. Across the street from Ami's house was a small patch of trees and brush. He hides himself in the foliage and begins to watch Ami's house. He had decided that watching the house from outside instead of inside would give him the jump one whatever was coming for Ami. He wonders if he should have just told her the truth and saved himself all this trouble. But he quickly dismisses that thought. He needed to concentrate on her house and watch for *anything* suspicious. Around 3:00, Urawa begins to feel very sleepy. Nothing has happened all night. There were barely even any cars on the street. Against his will, sleep overtakes him, and he falls asleep. Urawa stands up with a jolt and looks around frantically. He wonders how long he has been asleep, but as he looks around, he notices that he is inside a house. To his horror, he realizes where he is. He is having that dream or vision or whatever it was again. He looks down and sees Ami, sprawled on the floor. He tries to scream and run to her, but nothing happens. Then a large black hand comes out of nowhere at his face. Before it blocks his vision, he looks at the wall clock... 11:24. Then, darkness... Ami had woken up early at 6:00 am to get ready. She called Usagi at 7:00 and had woken her up. "Usagi, didn't you remember you were coming over today?" "Uh, yeah I did. I was just, uh, getting some extra beauty sleep." Ami hears Singo in the background, "In that case, I think you need some more sleep!" and then she hears some yelling and Chibi-Usa laughing. "So are you coming over at 8:00 Usagi?" "Yup! I'll be there!" "Oh, guess what Usagi! Urawa is in town! Can he come with us too?" "Urawa? Really? Of course he can come!" "Thanks Usagi, see you at 8:00!" Usagi turns to Chibi-Usa, "Hey, guess what? Urawa *IS* in town after all. Pretty wierd huh?" "Wow, we were right! Must be destiny!" "Yeah, destiny." Usagi begins to think of Mamoru. Urawa woke up at 7:00 and bopped himself in the head for falling asleep. He frantically looked at Ami's house, but he quickly ducked back down as he saw Ami using the phone. "Whew..." Urawa exhaled his sigh of relief. Ami was fine. Then he began thinking that his vision had been just a dream. Suddenly, his heart jumps. He remembered the new vision he had had that night. But he couldn't remember the whole thing. Most of it was in a blur. It must be tonight then. Urawa headed back to the train station and picks up his clothes he had left in one of the lockers. Then he finds a restroom, changes his clothes, and cleans up. He makes it back to Ami's house around 7:55. As Usagi comes skipping around the corner she sees Urawa and comes running up to him. "Hi Urawa-san! What's up?" "Uh, not much Usagi. How are you?" "Pretty good!" Usagi pats Urawa on the shoulder, "So, you came to see Ami huh?" Usagi gives him a BIG smile. "Uh, yup. I, uh missed her, you know." Usagi smiles even BIGGER as Ami walks out of the house looking beautiful. Urawa face turns instantly red as Ami walks down to them. "Hi guys! You two ready to have some fun?" "Sure am!" Usagi replies gleefully. "Yeah, so what'll we do first?" asks Urawa. "Well, let's go downtown and do some shopping!" replies Usagi. "Sounds like fun! Ok with you, Urawa-kun?" "Yeah, sounds great Ami-chan." Usagi tries to surpress her giggling at the way they are flirting. But isn't doing a good job. They spend most of the day downtown, shopping, eating, walking and watching Usagi eat. Later on they decide to see one of the cool new American movies just released, DragonHeart. They pass up on Cable Guy because they all think that Jim Carrey is a plain moron now-a-days. Around 9:00, Ami starts yawning. "Well, I was up late last night, I am really tired." Usagi begins yawing as well, except much bigger. "Yeah, me too. I'm gonna head home, ok guys?" "Uh, yeah. Sounds like a good idea." stutters Urawa. He begins thinking about his vision/dream again. It has to be tonight. Something about that dream tells him it's tonight, but he can't seem to remember. "Well, see ya later guys!" Usagi waves and begins walking home. "Well, I guess I'll see you tommorow Urawa?" "Yeah, 8:00 again?" "Ok, I'll see you then." Ami kisses Urawa on the cheek and begins walking home. Urawa thinks about escorting her home, but he needs some time to sort out his thoughts. That vision/dream last night was just a blur now, and he could barely remember anything from it. Something told him to try, and so he did. Kazuya walks back into Eiji's laboratory, "We're ready to go, Eiji. Kidnapping junior high school kids? Mr. Mendo wasn't too happy with your reason, this had better be worth it." Eiji grimaces and turns to Kazuya. "Just do what I need. Let me worry about the morals." Eiji puts on a black suit and is followed out the door by Kazuya and his help. Around 11:00, Urawa sets himself down in the brush in front of Ami's house again. He had been able remember a lot more of the vision/dream now. But he realized it wasn't much different than his first, except now it seemed HE was in trouble as well. He looks at his watch, 11:14. Suddenly, in his mind something clicks. "11:14... 11:14... Something familiar about this time..." Then he remembers, in his dream, the clock on the wall had said 11:24. He had ten minutes to save Ami's life! Suddenly a black car drives up from behind him and parks in front of Ami's house. Urawa ducks behind some bushes and watches as four burly looking men in black clothes get out and begin circling Ami's house. "Damnit! They must be the ones that kidnap her!" he wispers to himself. Urawa musters all his courage and runs at Ami's house, "AMIIIII!!!!!!!" he screams as he runs, "AMIIIIII!!! GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!!" Some noises coming from outside her house wake Ami up. She begins to walk to the window to see what's going on when suddenly someone bursts through her room door. The lights are off, but Ami can see that it's a man dressed in a black suit holding some sort of glowing gun. Three other men are following close behind him. The man with the gun begins speaking. "Ami Mizuno?" Ami doesn't say a word, and keeps her eyes on the man's gun thing. He then holds up the device and she notices it has a small monitor on it. Two of the men walk over to her. She tries to avoid them but they are too fast and they quickly grab her arms and hold her still. She thinks of changing into Sailor Mercury, but she can't move her arms to use her wand. The man holds up the device to her head. She cringes not knowing what to expect, but to her surprise she feels no pain. She just hears a slight hum from the device. The man in the suit smiles as the wave pattern on the screen nearly goes off the scale, "Yes, you're just what I've been looking for." Urawa runs around the back of the house to confront the men, but finds that they've already entered the house. He goes through the opened back door and runs through the house at top speed to Ami's room. Suddenly, Kazuya hears something coming from behind him. "Someone is in the house." He pulls out one of his guns as Urawa rounds the corner. Urawa stops immediately and stares at the man with the gun. Professor Eiji turns his head to see who it is. "Who is it?", he asks. "Just some punk kid." "Bring him in here, don't let him get away." orders Eiji. Kazuya runs towards Urawa, grabs his arm and roughly pushes him into Ami's room. Ami gasps as she sees Urawa, "U-Urawa-kun!" she stutters. "Ami-chan." he replies. Eiji eyes him quickly, "Must be the boyfriend. Kill him, we don't need any witnesses." Kazuya raises his gun and prepares to fire when suddenly Eiji stops him. Eiji is staring at his monitor which is showing him patterns that are completely unlike anything he knew was possible. "Hold on, let me check this kid out first." He points the device at Urawa and the readings he was getting only increase. Eiji suddenly hears police sirens and he turns off the device. "C'mon. Bring the boy, kill the girl." The sirens become louder as the police cars reach Ami's street. The two men holding Ami drop her, grab Urawa, and run out of the room. Kazuya begins backing away quickly when he starts shooting into Ami's room. Ami drops to the floor and Kazuya runs out of the room as well. They all jump into their black sedan and drive away with the police in quick pursuit. One car stops in Ami's driveway and an officer gets out runs into her house. He quickly slinks through the hallways and rooms with his gun drawn. He searches all the rooms and starts walking upstairs. When he reaches Ami's room he quickly scans the room. Nothing. The room is empty like all the others. He begins to wonder what happened as he walks back downstairs, never noticing the open window. As Eiji throws Urawa into the car and takes off, Eiji injects Urawa with some kind of sedative. Urawa can barely move or keep his eyes open as Eiji begins to study him. "Fascinating." Eiji remarks as he looks at his monitor. "These readings go beyond mere intelligence. Tell me boy, what are you hiding?" Urawa just blinks, his rage is growing, but unable to vent it. "No matter." Eiji goes into his bag, "I'll find out just what you are." Eiji places a strip of plastic on Urawa's forehead and watches it intently. Ami runs as fast as she can through backyards, small tree groves, and across streets. Finally she comes across small market and sees a phone. She is shaken and crying as she tries to dial. Usagi is dreaming about Mamo-chan when suddenly her dream explodes as a loud ringing shatters the peacefullness. Slightly angry, Usagi grabs the phone. "Hello?" Usagi snaps out of her tired daze as she hears a sobbing Ami. "Ami, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" "U-U-Ura-Urawa-kun! They took him!" "Who took Urawa?! Ami-chan where are you?" "Meet me at Dhaslim's Curry Market. Please hurry!" and Ami hangs up. Luna, who has just waken up, looks up at Usagi. "What's going on?" "Something's happened to Urawa, I'm going to help Ami." Usagi throws some clothes on, and runs out of the house as quietly as she can. Ami runs into an alley on the side of the market and leans against a wall. She tries to regain her composure and absorb the night's events. It had all happened so fast: the men, Urawa, the shooting. She had to make sense of it. Urawa was in danger. She realized that this must be the reason he had come to visit. He must had seen all this in a vision and had come to save her life. Now it was her turn. She waits another 15 minutes and Usagi comes running in front of the store, her eyes are darting all around looking for Ami. Ami steps slightly out of the alley and waves for Usagi to come. "Ami-chan, what's wrong?" Usagi notices Ami has stopped crying, and now has a determined look on her face. "Some men broke into my house, one of them had some sort of device and was studying me with it, but Urawa came in trying to stop them and the man ended up taking him. He told the other men to shoot me, but the police were coming, he panicked and missed. It all happened so fast, I don't really know what happened." "Do you know what they were looking for?" "I'm not sure, but I think they were interested in my mind." Usagi grimaces as she figures that was most likely the reason. The black sedan manages to lose the police and are soon leaving Tokyo's city limits. Urawa's sedation is wearing off and Eiji begins to ask him more questions. "Your brain waves are displaying an interesting pattern. Can you tell me what they are?" Urawa just looks away. "I'd almost say were, higher than a normal human's. Do you have any special abilities?" again Urawa just ignores him. Eiji grabs Urawa's shirt and pulls him closer. "You're making this much harder than it really needs to be, boy!" "You're the one making things hard. For yourself." Eiji lets him go, "We'll see... we shall see." "Well, let's go Ami-chan." "Yes, we have to save Urawa-kun before something terrible happens." They both climb a ladder to the roof of the building. They both transform and begin leaping from rooftop to rooftop. "Do you think you can track them with your computer?" "I think so. He had that strange device. Maybe I can track its signal." Sailor Mercury's visor appears and she begins tapping on her computer. "I am picking up a strange signal from outside of town, it's growing weaker though. Perhaps he turned it off." "Then we need to hurry up!" Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury leap down from the roofs, and begin running through the streets. They get to the edge of Tokyo where the buildings are farther and farther apart. As the black sedan pulls into the parking lot of an old abandoned mill, the driver presses a button under the dash board and one of the large doors in front of them open and they drive in. When they stop, Eiji injects Urawa with some more sedative. The other three men get out of the car and Kazuya begins talking to Eiji. "When Mendo finds out the cops were chasing us, he won't be happy." Eiji turns to Kazuya, "I'll deal with him. don't worry about it." Eiji then takes Urawa to a small cell and tosses him in, "Don't worry, you won't be there long." Eiji locks the door and walks away laughing. Sailor Mercury and Sailor Moon finally reach a part where the buildings are very run down. Sailor Mercury looks at her computer and points to an old abandoned mill. "He must be in there. I'm getting alot of strange readings from that building." Sailor Moon looks at the old mill, "Hmm, how are we gonna sneek in without being seen?" "Maybe the Henshin Pen?" suggests Sailor Mercury. Sailor Moon pulls it out and looks at it. "Ok, but what should be disguise ourselves as?" "Hmm, maybe something in black?" "Ooh! I know! Ninjas!!" "Uh, Ninjas?" Sailor Mercury isn't so sure about that idea. "MOON POWER!!" and suddenly both Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury were wearing black ninja suits with various type of weaponry adorning them. "This is cool!" exclaimed Ninja Usagi as she pulled the blade on her back from its sheath. Ninja Ami took a shuriken out the pouch on her hip and studied it, she looked at Ninja Usagi and cocked an eyebrow. "Well, I hope this works. C'mon, let's get in there!" Ninja Usagi replaces the blade into its sheath and chases after Ninja Ami. Eiji enters his lab and switches on some lights. The whole room lights up and the hum of machinery can be heard. He walks over to a chair in the middle of the room and begins adjusting its settings. He pulls a hinged part from behind it and it rests above the chair. The part is circular and looks like it could hold a human head. The pins and screws sticking in and out of it prove its use. Eiji finshes on the chair and walks over to a computer and begins typing. "Finally, after all my work I'll reap some results." He gets up and leaves the room. Ninja Usagi and Ami run around the mill to the back. Ninja Usagi looks up and sees an open window. "We'll go in through there." She takes the grappling hook and rope off her hip and starts swinging it around. But she can't do it right and begins hitting things and making alot of noise. Ninja Ami ducks and falls back trying to avoid Ninja Usagi's *deadly* aim. "Stop, stop! Let me try!" Ninja Ami exclaims under her breath. Ninja Usagi stops trying and gets out of Ninja Ami's way. She walks up and takes her grappling hook. She does a much better job, and the hook flies up and catches on the window. They both begin climbing as fast and as quietly as they can. The sedative begins wearing off again and Urawa stands up and looks around his cell. He begins to feel very angry, but he starts to think about Ami and he sits back down on the floor. "Oh Ami, what am I going to do?" The sedative is very strong and prevents him from seeing any visions. He wonders if he even had saved her life. He didn't know. He had heard the gunshots but wasn't able to see anything. He holds his head in his hands and his eyes begins welling up with tears. "Oh Ami, I'm sorry." Inside the abandoned mill, the two ninja Senshi begin slinking through the halls. They both stop and Ninja Ami begins using her computer. "We need to go the left. I'm getting some readings from there." Ninja Usagi nods and she runs around the corner, but she suddenly slams into a man with a gun. They are both knocked down but the man quickly aims his gun at Ninja Usagi. She screams and blocks her face, but suddenly a handful of shurikens hit the man's gun and hand. The man screams in pain and drops his gun. Ninja Ami runs up and spins around kicking the thug in the head knocking him unconscious. She then quickly ties him up and gags him. "These disguises were a good choice Usagi." Ninja Usagi smiles as Ninja Ami helps her up. Eiji opens Urawa's cell and walks in, "What's wrong boy? Are you scared?" Urawa fights back tears and ignores Eiji. "Don't worry, it won't hurt... much." He smiles wickedly, grabs Urawa and pulls him out of the cell. Urawa can't fight back as he's still slightly sedated. As Ninja Ami and Usagi continue to slink through the halls, they notice that there are more and more guards. Ninja Usagi figures this to mean they're getting close to the heart of the building. Ninja Ami, still holding her computer, points down a hallway. Suddenly they see two guards step out. they quickly get out of sight. "What are we going to do? We can't draw too much attention." asks Ninja Ami. "Ha, it's my turn now!" Ninja Usagi reaches into her pouch and pulls out a small black ball. "When I say run, RUN!" She quickly rolls the ball down the hallway and it starts to release a smoky gas. The two guards suddenly drop unconscious. "RUN!" The two Ninja Senshi dash down the hall past the two unconscious guards and around the corner. "Nice work Usagi-chan." Ami looks at her computer, "I'm picking up alot of electrical activity two floors below us. That must be where they've taken Urawa-kun." They find a door to the stairs, check for guards, and quickly dash down the stairs. Eiji hands Urawa to one of the men that had helped him in the kidnapping and has him take Urawa to the lab. The man starts talking to Eiji, "What do you plan to do with him Doctor Eiji?" "It's a little to technical for you, but basically if everything goes well, whatever abilities this boy has will be implanted in my brain." "How will you do that?" They reach the lab and walk in. "Just put him in the chair and don't worry about it." The man places Urawa in the chair. As soon as he does Urawa tries to run. But the man quickly grabs Urawa's arm and _throws_ him back into the chair. "Going somewhere son?" Eiji snickers. Ninja Usagi peers through the small window on the door and checks out the hallway. She turns to Ami, "There are a ton of guards in there." "Do you have anymore gas bombs?" "No, I had only one." "Well I guess it's time we let them know we are here." "YEAH! We'll make a surgical strike!" "A what?" "I don't know, I've just always wanted to say that." Ninja Usagi kicks open the door and they both burst into the hallway. The guards all turn and look at the two female ninjas and begin to draw their guns. In a flash, the two ninja Senshi split and begin to attack the guards. After about a minute all the guards are lying on the ground unconscious. "Yeah! We're number one!" exclaims Ninja Usagi. Eiji finishes strapping Urawa into the chair and prepares to fasten his head into the peice with the screws and needles on it. "Ok, now, when I put this on you, it might hurt a little. Who am I kidding, it's going to really hurt!" Urawa tries to struggle, but he can't even move his head. Eiji is about to screw into Urawa's head when, suddenly, the door to the lab is blown down in a small explosion. "What the hell!" he runs over to the wall and hits a large red button. Alarms start echoing through the building and red lights begin flashing everywhere. Eiji squints through the smoke to try to see who is there. He can see something walking through the smoke. As they come closer he can see two people. Suddenly, Sailor Mercury steps out of the smoke. "Let him go!" she commands. Sailor Moon walks out from behind her holding the Cutie Moon Rod, "Tsuki ni kawatte, oshioki yo!" "The Sailor Senshi! What are you doing here?!" exclaims Eiji. The other man begins running at the Senshi. When he gets close, Sailor Mercury moves out of the way and Sailor Moon whacks him in the head with the Cutie Moon Rod, knocking him out. Sailor Moon then points it at Eiji, "Give up, or face our wrath!" With the Cutie Moon Rod pointed at Eiji, Sailor Mercury goes and unties Urawa, "Urawa-kun, are you alright?" "I am now, Sailor Mercury." with his eyes full of tears of joy to see that Ami is still alive, he takes her into his arms and they both kiss. Eiji looks at them with particular interest. "What is this? You two are in love?" They both look at Eiji, realizing what they are showing him. "Now it makes sense! You must be Ami Mizuno!" Sailor Mercury is both terrified and shocked, but suddenly she hears, "MOON PRINCESS HALATION!!" and Sailor Moon nails Eiji in the abdomen blasting him against the wall. "Had to do it- we couldn't let him go blabbing about who you really are could we? He's just unconcious. He isn't a youma or anything like that. But I can't see a youma being any worse." Urawa looks around at the alarms and lights going off, "We had better get out of here before they catch us." "Yeah, let's go!" Sailor Moon exclaims. "Wait a minute! What are we going to do about him?" She points to Eiji. "He knows who I am." Before anyone can answer, some chemicals that had been knocked over in the fight, make a small explosion and the room bursts into flames. "We gotta get out of here!" yells Sailor Moon. Suddenly, some armed men appear in the doorway, "You're not going anywhere!" they yell. "SHINING AQUA ILLUSION!!" Sailor Mercury's attack freeze the men in a large block of ice before they can fire a shot. "Whoa, nice shot Mercury!" states Sailor Moon. The freezing guards watch the trio as they run past. Kazuya falls backwards in his chair, spilling his drink on his face, as the alarms begin blaring all around him. He stands up wiping his chin. "What the hell?" He runs out into the hallway and stops a guard, "Where was the alarm tripped from?" he asks the guard. "From Doctor Eiji's office." Kazuya lets him go and the guard continues running down the corridor. "Damn that Eiji!" Suddenly, the fire alarms go off. "He's gonna bring us all down." Kazuya begins running down the hall when his cellular phone rings. "Mr. Mendo, what are your orders?" "Kill Eiji and his 'experiments'. I've had enough of his bumbling." "With pleasure sir. With pleasure." And he flips the phone back into his pocket. Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury and Urawa run as fast as they can while trying to avoid being seen. They reach a corner and Sailor Moon motions for them to stop. "There are five guys running down the hall! What are we gonna do?!" Sailor Mercury takes Sailor Moon's shoulder, "You and Urawa run when I say, ok?" "Hai." they both reply Sailor Mercury jumps around the corner, "SHABON SPRAY!!" the five men all trip on each other in the dense fog and don't notice the three figures race past them. When they get away from the guards, Sailor Mercury pulls out her computer. "I have bad news.. we have been running the wrong way! We are almost in the heart of the complex!" "Which way is out then?" asks Urawa. "I think the quickest way out SHOULD be through the next set of doors." The trio opens the doors and instantly freeze. There are about twenty men in the room and they all immediately point their guns at them. Then behind them, a man walks up and points his gun at them as well. Sailor Mercury and Urawa recognize him from earlier that night. Suddenly, the men in front of them part to the sides and a door opens. A man in pretty fancy suit walks out. The man holding the gun behind them speaks. "We've caught them Mendo-sama." "Sailor Senshi? You came to save this boy?" Mendo asks. The Senshi don't say a word. "I am sorry to say though, I can't allow you to leave here...alive." The guards cock their guns and aim at the Senshi and Urawa. Suddenly, the ceiling above the guards and Mendo _EXPLODES_ and buries them in rubble. Tuxedo Kamen jumps down through the massive hole and lands in front of the Senshi and Urawa. "I sensed you were in danger and came to help. I must admit, it was hard to find you." Kazuya, who is stunned by the sudden turn of events, gets whacked with Tuxedo Kamen's cane and gets knocked unconscious. Sailor Moon hugs Tuxedo Kamen as hard as she can, "Oh Mamo-chan, I'm so happy you came." Urawa yells out. "C'mon! We gotta get out of here!" He grabs Sailor Mercury's hand and begins running down the hall. Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Moon are surprised, but quickly follow them. Instantly behind them, a flurry of bullets begin strafing the walls and ceiling. As Urawa and Mercury run they get to an intersection in the hallways, Urawa sees guards running down in front of them and he ducks into the left hallway. Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Moon however, trying to duck bullets, don't see which way Sailor Mercury and Urawa went and dash down the right hallway. *** And now a word from our sponsor...

[Everyone starts grumbling as they all file out.] RYOKO : Don't forget! 1-800-ANIME-DATE! MIYUKI [Fires her gun again] : I said that's enough! And now back to your regularly scheduled program... *** Sailor Mercury looks over her shoulder, "We lost Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen! They must have gone down one of the other corridors!" Urawa looks behind to check, but sees three men round the corner and start chasing after them. "Keep running! We've got to get out of here before we get shot!" Sailor Mercury doesn't worry for Sailor Moon. Tuxedo Kamen was more than able to protect her and himself. She takes out her computer again and begins typing. "I've found an exit, but I'm getting a LARGE power reading up ahead." "Let's check it out!" They run at top speed and duck behind a corner. The men don't notice and continue running past them. Sailor Moon looks behind and sees that Sailor Mercury and Urawa are no longer behind them, "Mamo-chan! Where are the others?" Tuxedo Kamen turns around for a second, but then grabs Sailor Moon's hand and begins running faster. "We'll just have to hope that they will be alright." A flurry of bullets strafe the walls around them as they run. Tuxedo Kamen looks up ahead and sees a stairwell. "Faster Usa-ko! This might be a way out." They both speed up the stairs trying to avoid the gun fire. As Sailor Mercury and Urawa watch the two guards run past, Mercury points to a large door, "I'm getting those readings from in there." They both walk over and push the doors open. Inside they see a huge power generator, noisily humming away. "This must be how they power this huge place!" remarks Mercury. Huge gas pipes run up the walls and ceilings. Two armed guards appear behind them. "Run!!" screams Urawa as he and Sailor Mercury both dive for cover. The two men begin firing their guns at them. Neither of the two men were very bright, and they had no idea of what they were doing as they sprayed the room with lead. Sailor Mercury and Urawa jumped behind an out-cropping of cement and ducked down. The two men began walking over to them, but then the generator begins to smoke and whine from a bullet that had lodged itself in the fuel intake. The two men suddenly realize what they did too late as the generator explodes in fury. They both duck down behind the small cement wall. Sailor Mercury hugs Urawa and yells, "SHABON SPRAY!!" and they both get wrapped in a freezing mist that protects them from the flames and heat. As Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Moon run up the stair-case, they are suddenly rocked by gigantic explosion. They both stop for a moment, and Sailor Moon pulls out her comminicator. "Sailor Mercury! Where are you?! Are you ok?!" The small screen flickers for a moment and then she hears some broken speech. "We... fine... guns... generator... fire.." And then the communications break off. After talking to a staticy Sailor Moon on her communicator, Sailor Mercury motions Urawa to follow her. In a flash Sailor Mercury stands up and yells, "SHINING AQUA ILLUSION!!" The icy water blasts the raging wall of flame and for a moment the room quiets down. She and Urawa race for the door and get out of the room. The corridor walls are charred black from the explosion. "Run Ami!! The ice wall you made is cracking!" They both race for the stairwell up ahead and speed up the stairs. Suddenly, a GIGANTIC explosion rocks them both and they fall to their knees. They look down as a huge fire ball races up the stairwell destroying everything in its way. Another explosion rocks the staircase Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen are on. Sailor Moon looks very worried, "Oh, I hope they are alright!" She tries the communicator, but before she can work it Tuxedo Kamen grabs her hand, "Usagi!! C'mon!" She looks down in horror a gigantic fire-ball blasts up at them. Sailor Mercury realizes that the fireball will reach them before they can reach the top of the stairs. While running, she yells, "SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!!" and quickly stops and points it downwards at the firey stairs. A thick floor of ice is formed and they continue running. But due to the power that she had put behind her attack, the stairs were covered in a thin layer of ice, making it hard to run. As they reach the top of the stairs, Tuxedo Kamen pulls out a handful of roses and hurls them at the ceiling. The ceiling explodes and Tuxedo Kamen covers them both with his cape to block the falling rocks and debris. He then grabs Sailor Moon and jumps out the hole with her. They find themselves in the large abandoned parking lot behind the old factory. They both dive for cover as the fire ball explodes out the hole, blasting tar and debris high into the air. Sailor Mercury and Urawa reach the top of the stairwell and quickly open the blast door and close it. There were no more guards to be seen. They had either escaped, or been caught in the fire. They look around and realize they are in an old part of the factory. This part hadn't been redesigned like the rest of the building. They both run to a window and look down. They were at the top of the building. The ground was four stories down. They could hear the rumbling of the fire coming up the stairwell again. Sailor Mercury closed her eyes, hugged Urawa with all her might, and lept from the window. She felt the sensation of floating, and when she opened her eyes, she saw she was on the ground. They both quickly began running as fast as they could. Then the factory, all four floors, exloded fantastically. Sailor Mercury and Urawa ducked behind some large trees to avoid the explosion. "What just happened there?" asked Urawa. "I don't know. We just seemed to float down." replied Ami. They looked at each other sort of confused. "Oh Mamo-chan. You saved me." said Sailor Moon as she smiled up at Tuxedo Kamen. "I'd do anything for you, Usa-ko." Sailor Moon was a little dazed from the whole experience and passed out. Tuxedo Kamen thought to himself, "I hope the others made it out ok." Then Tuxedo Kamen picked up Sailor Moon, jumped in the air, and carried her away. Something caught Ami's eye, "Tuxedo Kamen!" she saw that he had Sailor Moon with him and she stopped worrying. She looked at Urawa. "Urawa, is this why you came to visit?" "Well, yes it is Ami. I had a dream, and I didn't know if it was true or not. I had to do something." "Why didn't you tell me?" "I didn't want to scare you Ami. I care for you too much. I, I.." Suddenly, a man grabbed Urawa's shoulders. To Sailor Mercury's horror, she saw it was Eiji. "How, how did you survive?!" "Hah hah... I have my ways..." "Let me go!!" yelled Urawa. Sailor Mercury held up her hands ready to execute her Shabon Spray, but Eiji pulled out some sort of device. "Don't even think about it little Ami Mizuno! Make a move and I will fry your little friend's brain with this." Sailor Mercury put down her hands. "Smart move girl. But I think I'll fry him ANYWAY!! HAHAHA!!!!" Urawa looks at Sailor Mercury, "I'll always love you Ami." Sailor Mercury runs forward to stop him, but Eiji hits the trigger too quickly. But when he triggers the device, it short-circuits and the energy pulse blasts up Eiji's arm to his head. "WHAT?!!" Eiji screams in extreme pain for a moment, and then falls to the ground, dead. Urawa runs over to Ami and they embrace. Sailor Mercury looks at Eiji, thinks to herself, and then looks at Urawa. Urawa has a look of confused-understanding in his "Perhaps it was destiny." she answer his look, "Our destiny." "You've taught me that my visions are not destiny. I am sure of it now." And they kissed. They both left when the fire-trucks and police showed up. They walked around Tokyo for hours without anyone bothering them. And then Urawa walked Ami home. They held hands for a moment, and looked at each other. And then Urawa kissed Ami. Ami turned to open the door to her house, "When will I see you again Urawa-kun?", but when she turned around, Urawa was gone. Ami looked sad for a moment, but she knew that she would see him again soon. She smiled. It was destined love. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- THE END -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --- Well, this makes number three for me. I've written three FanFic's, StarLight Samurai, Moonlight Slayer and now this one. I wasn't expecting it to end so soon though, or the way it did. But as I was writing, it just seemed like a good way and place to cut it off. I was expecting it to be like 90-100k! No really! I was! :) I listened to alot of Tony Braxton while I was writing this story. You know, to put me in the "mood". :) Well anyway, I hope you enjoyed it (even if it was a little short). As you can tell, Ami IS my favorite scout er.. Senshi. (I was watching the DUB today). I don't care what anyone says, I like her the best! I felt great pangs of jealousy while writing this story, all this closeness between Ami and Urawa... Oh, well. I just want her to be happy. :) When I get my new internet address, it will look something like this... Haohmaru@mizuno.netscape.com I like it! Don't mail me there yet though. Now, onto other matters... My creative juices have been flowing lately, and I've started work on three separate fics. The first to be released will be "StarLight Samurai 2 - Time and Space" That fic will probably be the finest of any fic I ever write. Also, I've started "Sailor Moon - Time For Some Action!" This story will have an intense action plot, where as a powerful youma from that past, comes into the future to exact it revenge on the senshi and Tuxedo Kamen. The third is a Choose Your Own Adventure kind of story, "Usagi's big date" David Callier is giving me a crash course on how to do some fancy stuff like colors and such in basic (ooh basic! :) Also, I'm involved in working on a MUFF (Multi User FanFic) by Daniel St. George. I get to start it off. :) As far as fic's I am still thinking about, there is... "Sailor Moon vs. DIC" and a fic I was formerly calling, "The N Factor" but which I am renaming simply, "Naru-chan". And another called, "The Mirror's Image." But I doubt any of these will be out soon, but you never know. I would like to say a "What's up?" to Moon Ninja who has been pummeling me senseless with E-mail's about my fic's as of late. And to Brian Smith (my Ami Otaku brother in arms) for putting my fics and artwork on his WEB site. Please, E-Mail me with your opinions on my stuff. It's your letters that keep me going. I heard from Bandai that the North American DUB of Sailor Moon is over. Damn. Most of you have no idea how that depresses me. Well, on a final note, I must thank my ever-helpfull proofreaders... Andy Floyd -] You found that Sailor Moon watch yet? David Callier aka Silver Dragon -] Programmer Extraordinaire! Matt Morris aka Ronin -] Nice Ranma 1/2 fic! Till da next fic... Till da next fic...
