>As the otaku-napper and napped vanished over the horizon, Leloni and
>Makoto, as one, screamed "SNAPPY!!!!!" in return.

	"SSSSSNNNNNNAAAAPPPPYYYYYY!!!!!  HOLD ON! I'M COMING!!!!!"  Leloni
screeched at the top of her lungs.  Amazingly, for such a small animal, the
bunny had a set of lungs that could rival Usagi's.  She started off in the
direction the green jerk had taken Snappy.  Immediately, she was pounced by
Bug and Lucky-Ami.  Makoto was still in shock, as was Chibiusa.  Usagi was
still passed out.      "WHAT are you DOING?" the enraged rabbit yelled, "I've
got to go save Snappy!	Before that.... whatever the heck that THING is hurts
her!"	   Lucky-Ami pointed at the sky, "And, just *how* do you expect to
catch him?  You can't fly."	The bunny pounded her fists on the ground. 
She was now more then upset.  If she'd been a chameleon, her fur would've
turned the bloodiest red the world had ever seen.  Bug and Lucky-Ami got up,
but Leloni just sat there.  After a few moments of silence, she softly said,
"This is all my fault." 	"What is?" asked Chibiusa, who was finally
able to speak again.	     The rabbit didn't bother to look up.  Instead,
her ears draped over her face as she bowed her head in shame.  "If I had been
quicker to react, Snappy would be safe now.  Some guardian I am."  Mako-chan,
too, was getting over her shock.  She looked down at the solemn cloaked
figure, "It wasn't your fault.	Hey, I'm a senshi and even *I* didn't have
time to react."   "Yeah, but YOU didn't allow her to come along on this whole
escapade. *I* did," mumbled the bunny, "If I had left her with CapeMike and
SIB, she'd still be safe on the Io-A.  But, thanks to my foolishness, she
could be hurt or even...."  Her voice trailed off.  Two small tears dripped
onto the ground.  No one was quite sure what to say.  After all, this was
Leloni here. They didn't even know she could feel bad about anything --let
alone crying.	     Bug tried though, "It wasn't like you knew this was
coming or anything.  Besides, there was nothing you could do."	    "Whatever
that was had attacked Snappy before.  I wasn't there for her then...... And,
I wasn't there for her now.  Some Makochanian I am."	 Mako-chan bent down,
"You're a great Makochanian.  Look, there's been times when, no matter what I
did, I couldn't be there for Usagi.  There are some things that you just
can't control."     It was about this time that Artemis's curiosity got the
better of him. He'd heard the screaming and was hoping his fellow
Minakochanians had come to rescue him.	As he stuck his head out of the bag,
he noticed that he was sitting on a large, soft green pillow.  "Hmm, so
that's what was so comfortable," he said to no one in particular.	
Chibiusa had heard him though.	She turned to him, "Yeah.  Leloni's idea. 
Seems she likes cats.  Bug wanted to lock you in a safe.  But, she told him
no.  She said something about just cuz we're holding you hostage doesn't mean
we can hurt you,"  The pink haired one shrugged,  "Personally, i still think
she's strange."       The cat ventured a bit further out of the bag.  Looking
around, he saw what was going on.	Artemis spoke a little louder, "Hey,
does that mean I can go?"  Bug shoved a mini-grenade in his face, "I don't
think so."  If Artemis had been wearing pants, he might've wet them at that
moment.     "Oh, just let him go," Leloni muttered, "I don't care anymore. 
I'm a failure anyway.  I failed Snappy.  I failed my senshi and I've failed
the Wars!  If I knew how, I'd just go back to where I came from right now."  
      Everyone blinked in surprise.  Artemis was so stunned, he just sat back
down.  He really hadn't wanted to get off that pillow anyway.	"So, you're
just giving up?" exclaimed Mako-chan, "You're just going to let that poor
child down?"	  Leloni finally looked up.  Her emerald green eyes had
almost lost all of their glow.	"What do you mean?  I've already let her
down."	 Mako's face turned harsh, "No, letting her down means you give up on
her completely.  Maybe you couldn't stop her from being taken.	But, you can
*still* save her!  If we senshi had just given up whenever Sailor Moon was
kidnapped or trapped somewhere, she'd be dead long ago.  But we didn't.  And,
neither should you.  Now, get up!  My followers are supposed to stand tough
in the face of adversity.  Don't snivel like an Usagichanian."	 She knew
that'd get the lavender rabbit going.  She was right too. Leloni blinked at
her a few times.  Suddenly, the electric glow returned to her eyes.  She was
feeling herself again and full of vengence!   The rabbit got up, dusting
herself off.  She turned to Lucky-Ami, "You're something like a living
machine, right?"      Both Bug and Lucky-Ami gave her a dirty look as the
Borg nodded.	    "Good, scan as much of the area as you can.  Find any
traces of Snappy.  We've *got* to get a beat on this vulture."	She spun back
around to face Chibiusa and Makoto.  "Transform you two.  Whatever the heck
that thing is, it's fast.  Once we find it, there won't be time for
henshians.  We all need to be ready."	    Chibiusa and Makoto stared at
eachother.	  "Who died and made her Neo-Queen?" Chibiusa scowled. 
However, she did as she was told.  It wasn't often that she got to henshian
anymore and she relished every chance she got.	      "Jupiter Crystal Power
MAKE UP!"	 "Moon Crystal Power MAKE....UP!"	 Leloni jumped into
the van and started shaking Usagi. "WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" she screamed.
       "AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" Usagi shot up.  She panted feverishly, "Why'd you
wake me?  I was having a nice dream about me and Mamo-chan," she whined.  
"Quit whining and transform," Leloni ordered.	Usagi took the defensive,
"Why should I?	After all, *I'M* a queen."    An electric fire flashed in the
rabbit's eyes, "Now, you listen to me and you listen *GOOD*.  I don't give a
flying bad word I won't say WHAT *you* are.  You happen to be a senshi, a
protector of the innocent.  You stand for love and justice.  And, Snappy is
innocent.  I need your help to save her."    Usagi hmphed, "Why?  She's a
Makochanian.  She's not my responsibility."	   She gulped as soon as she
said this.  Leloni looked like she was about to kill her.  Then, she just
backed off.  Turning away, the rabbit said, "You're right.  She's not your
responsibility."	 Without a word, Leloni hopped out of the van. 
Sighing, she reached into a small pocket in her fur.	 "I hate doing this. 
But, this time I think it's necessary."    She pulled out a mini flame
thrower and handed it to Sailor Jupiter. The electric senshi looked at it,
"What's this for?"	 "So I can imitate Mars's Fire Soul," Leloni replied.
 She suddenly went into a spin, becoming nothing more then a lavender blur. 
Seconds later, she reappeared dressed as Sailor Mars.	      "Leloni!"
Jupiter gasped.  Her young follower bowed before her. Lucky-Ami was quick to
shield Bug's eyes from the skirt peek.	 "Jupiter-sama, I'm sorry.  I have to
do this. We can get Snappy back easier if we can psych him out.  I have a
feeling that seeing the senshis of Mars and Jupiter will scare him a bit more
then seeing a staff wielding rabbit would."	   The rabbit took the
mini-flame thrower from Jupiter and afixed it to her right glove.   "But, why
Mars?"	      Leloni grinned, brushing aside some stray black hairs on the
wig. "Because, this bit worked before on Otaku World wide television.  If it
worked once, it should work again.  Besides, Mars is the only one whose
attacks I can imitate without carrying some kind of big equipment around."   
"Well," began Artemis as he got back up, "Since you guys seem to have other
matters to attend to, I'll just be-"	    "Coming with us," Leloni
interrupted, picking the cat up.  She put him in a large cat carrying case.  
 "Wha?" stuttered the cat, "But, you said..."	 Leloni looked at him, "Yeah,
I know what I said.  But I changed my mind.  A woman is entitled to do that
you know.  I don't know how, but there's got to be a way to turn this whole
thing to our advantage.  Even if I only succeed to make AW miserable for
awhile.  So, sit back and enjoy the ride, kitty."	  "Kitty?" scuffed
Artemis, indignently.  "Are you ready?" the rabbit asked her patron senshi. 
Sailor Jupiter nodded.	The two turned to look at the rest of the group. 
"You guys don't have to come if you don't want to.  After all, Snappy isn't
in your factions.  So, we'll understand and respect that."  Jupiter and
Leloni stood silently, awaiting the group's decision.
