Back in Japan, Luna and Artemis were waiting for the scouts to come back from sending Reni off. They were waiting at the temple, where they scouts had said to meet them.
"I don't like this, Artemis. They should've been back by now!"
"You're just a worry wart Luna! They probably went to the mall or the arcade or something."
"No, they promised that they would come right back, and I trusted that they would, especially with Ami and Darien with them. Those two would make sure that they would come back. Besides, it's been four hours already, and it's starting to get dark out."
Artemis had noticed the time too, and though he was also worried, he wanted to keep Luna calm, and he was going to do some more reassuring when he heard voices.
"Shh, I hear some people, let's go check it out."
"Not right now Artemis, we've got to talk to you first."
Artemis whirled around as fast as his four paws would let him.
"Sailor Pluto! What are you doing here, and who are they?" He asked, indicating the three people standing behind her.
"I am here to insure the timeline, and these three people are Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, and Sailor Saturn." She said, pointing to each one. "They are here to help."
"The outers? All of them? Here? Now? How? What's going on?!" Luna said, confusedly.
"I can not say much about the timeline, but I can tell you the plan to fix it, or at least some of it." Sailor Pluto said, and so she did.
Meanwhile, outside in the courtyard, a large crowd had gathered.
"Serena should have been back three hours ago!" Serena's Mom said angrily. With her was her husband and Sammy.
"So should have Mina!" Her parents said in unison.
"Ami was supposed to help me at the hospital today, but she never showed up." Ami's Mom said quietly.
"And we were supposed to go out afterwards for a study date." Greg said.
"Lita was supposed to meet me at the arcade for a date." Ken complained.
"Darien was supposed to help me study for a test." Andrew said.
"And the said they were coming here!" They all said in unison, talking to Grandpa and Chad.
"Whoa! We have nothing to do with this! Rei was supposed to back hours ago too, so we're all in the same boat here." Grandpa said calmly.
"But I don't understand, where could they be?" Serena's dad asked.
"They're all right in here." A voice said.
They all turned to see a beautiful woman in fashionable clothes.
"But I've been watching for them, they haven't come back." Chad said.
"Yes, they have, just follow me."
The woman turned and walked back into the large room that was sometimes used for gatherings. They had no choice but to follow her.
As soon as they were all in, the woman turned around and nodded to someone behind them, and before they knew it, they were locked in the room, with no way out.
