"Shoot!" ordered Sailor Neptune. "Have you forgotten our duty? We have to protect the Princess at any cost!  Even if I'm lost, you have to survive and protect our Princess."	Nehelenia drew Sailor Neptune closer and tightened the cords around her.  Sailor Mars thought about Serena being all alone in Nehelenia's nightmare world.	Sailor Mars had to make a decision.

Suddenly the two came to a deep chasm, crossed by a rickety rope bridge.  Sailor Pluto said that Sailor Venus should cross the bridge.  "I will hold them off here," said Sailor Pluto, "and when you get across, cut the bridge!"  Sailor Venus protested but Sailor Pluto said it was the best strategy to save the Princess.  She said that Venus was a natural leader and so Venus should go ahead to lead the others. Sailor Pluto looked very determined, so Sailor Venus started out across the bridge. Continue...
