So Very Lonely Part: 9

(Mamo-chan's POV)

"Arrrggghhh..."  I groaned and sat up slowly, ignoring the 
dizziness that
swept through my body like a tsunami.  Was Usagi okay??  Where 
is she?  What
happened?  Where's Darkstar?  All of these questions raced 
through my mind
as I frantically scanned the room for my beloved.  My eyes fell 
upon her
still form a few feet way from me.  She was laying on her side, 
as if she
had fainted and not moved since.  her lips were parted a little, 
but I
couldn't hear her breathing.  Peacful it was not.  more like, 
sick.  Really
sick.
"Usako!"  I leapt up to go to her, even though my body 
protested.  Her
breathing was so shallow I could scarcely hear it.  Her sailor 
fuku was
soaked with blood from an earlier slash.  Carefully, I felt her 
wrist for a
pulse, but couldn't find one.  Wait!  There was a pulse, but a 
sorry excuse
for one.  There was only one thing to do: pick her up and try to 
find a way
out of whatever dimension we were in.  How was I going to do 
that?

@--> --> --> ---

    "Keep running, senshi!!"  Mars screamed this at the top of 
her lungs, as
the soldiers raced towards the vacant office building, that was 
the exit of
Darkstar's dimension.
    "Try...ing...Ma...rs...," panted Ami, followed my Minako and 
Makato.
    "Go faster!! Try harder!!"  And then, the building was 
there.
    "Okay, Mercury, how do we get in??"
    "Ummm..."
    "Mercury?"
    "I'm working on it!"
    "Hurry up!!"
    "Sorry, Mars!  This is going to take  awhile, okay?!"

@--> --> --> ---

    I had been walking through the twisted tunnels of Darkstar's 
realm for
hours, trying, in vain, to find a way out.  We had gone almost 
an hour and a
half when a couldn't find Usagi's pulse!!  My body stiffened as 
I realized
what was happening.

    "USAKO!!!  USAKO!!  USAKKOOOOOoooooo!!!"

    (Usagi's POV)

    Someone was calling my name....Mamo-chan?  But it was so 
warm where I
was going...I would feel no pain...Mamo-chan....He needed me, 
and I needed
him.  So, I made my decision.

    (Mamo-chan's POV)

    Her eyes fluttered open and she turned her head towards me:
    "Follow the light.....Follow the light, Mamo-chan."  And 
then she fell
back into unconciousness.
    "USAKO!!  What light?!  You've got to help me!!  Oh, please, 
Usako!!

@--> --> --> ---

    "I've got it!"
    "Mercury, what do we do?"
    "Aim your powers at the third dark star from the right on 
the door!"
    "Hai!!"
    "Mercury, shabon spray!!!"
     "Jupiter, supreme thunder!"
    "Mars, fire!!
    "Venus, crescent beam!"
    (AN: I can't think of Mars' and V's powers right now!! 
*sigh*)
     "Mercury, pant, it didn't, pant, work!"
    "It's just as I feared.  the door can only be opened from 
the inside.
All we can do is wait."
    "WAIT??  WAIT??  ARGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
    "Mars, calm down."

@--> --> --> ---

    Usagi had a pulse, but still there was no way out.  Then, I 
saw the
light she'd been talking about coming from a mirrored wall.  
This wall was
different from the rest.  I noticed it had a handle that was the 
same color
as the door, so that it blended in perfectly.  That was it!!  
The light was
the senshi and this was our way out!!

    (Ami's POV)

    Just as we'd finished trying to open the door, it clicked 
open.  In the
door way stood a ragged version of the Mamo-chan we once new.  
He was
injured from head to toe, but what was even more frightening was 
the Usagi
he cradled in his arms.  He looked all of us in the eye, without 
saying a
word.  I noticed he was swaying a bit...
    "Mamor-"
    "Take care of her, Sailor Senshi," he said, placed Usagi in 
Makato's
arms and tumbling to the ground.

                                                    THE END

Really, that's then end!!  If anyone cares, I *will* have an 
epilouge!!
Take care, minna!!!
