	"Well at least one of us is putting our new outfits to use." Rogue
commented. She stared at the blonde girl in front of the mirror. Storm fixed
her hair, "Now you be careful while you are out. And have some fun."
	Serena smiled at the two girls. "Thanks." 
	She put her hand up to her forhead. "It's a little classy to be 
wearing a bandaid don't you think?"
	Rogue stood up, holding a case. "Now don't you worry about a thing.
She opened it up to reveal many small bottles of make-up. Pulling out
a concealer she shook it up. "We'll just put make-up on it to cover it up
and if it looks a little off, you can just say you fell and bruised it."
	Serena looked into the mirror after they were done, regarding her
reflection. With the make-up on she didn't look at all like she had a 
crescent moon on her forhead. 
Serena leaned back in shock. Another memory! *Maybe, maybe I didn't have
this mark before?* She stared down at her lap. *I just have to let it come
I can't force it.*
	"Your ride's here." Jean said from the doorway. The girls went out to
the front of the building. Rogue whistled. "A limo. Now that's class."
	Corbin Mitchells got out and smiled. "I take it I've found the 
correct address?" Serena nodded at him. He held out his hand. "I hope you 
don't mind but I've invited my brother and his date to come along with us."
	Serena sighed with relief. "No I don't mind at all." She stated 
happily. *For a moment there I thought he might want to be romantic or 
something.* Serena made a face. Well, one less thing to worry about. She
waved goodbye and got into the limo.
	Corbin got in after her and they started away. 
	"Serena this is my younger brother Kevin, and the girl next to him
is Jessica. Everyone this is Serena."
	Serena smiled at them. 
	The car ride there was uneventful. Corbin talked to Kevin about some
business that they had out of the country. Serena watched them talk with 
interest. *They are so comfortable around each other, it's great that they
get along so well.* Jessica caught her eye. She patted her green hair, 
staring into a hand held mirror. Looking up, she stared at Serena. 
	Wanting to be friends Serena said the first thing on her mind. "I 
love your dress." The other girl was clad in a sleevless black dress hanging
down to midthigh. Around her neck was a gold chain holding a  diamond
cluster with a large Emerald in the center. She touched it reassuringly, 
"Thank you. Your dress is very lovely as well." Serena touched the hem of
her dress. It was a velvet blue dress with long sleeves, reaching midthigh.
	"Thank you." Jessica went back to her mirror. After giving her hair
one last finaly pat she put it away in her purse. "These boys can talk 
business all night. We should just entertain ourselves." She smiled at the
girl in front of her. "So, how did you meet Corbin?"
	The car stopped. "We're here." Corbin and Kevin got out, then helped
the other two out. The fancy place made Serena even more nervous. Jessica
touched her pendant again. "Come on," She whispered to her, "let's show these
people what class is." She put her chin up. Serena followed her example, 
taking a deep breathe she went inside.
	It wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. They sat down and had
a nice dinner. During that time she talked about how she had met Corbin. 
They laughed and joked around. Serena was completely at ease near the end
of the evening. Standing up, Corbin offered her to dance. Feeling a little
nervous Serena agreed. With a small laugh she stepped out on the dance floor
"I'm not really that good at dancing..." 
	"Don't worry, just follow my lead." He smiled down at her. For a 
while they danced in silence, then it was broken. "You know, when we first
met, I felt something..."
	Serena cut him off. "I did too. I'm sure that we will be good friends
if you want to?"
	Corbin looked down at her slightly disappointed. "Friends? I was 
rather hoping for something a little deeper."
	Serena sighed a little. "I just don't feel that way. I'm sorry. I 
hope that we can still be friends though."
	Corbin stared at her thoughtfully. "Is it because of Endymion?"
	Serena started. She raised her head cautiously to look up at him.
"What...what are you talking about?"
	Corbin turned away from her, "You said his name just a while ago
while we were dancing."
	Her mind raced, *I didn't say anything about him, did I?* Serena
stared at him suspiciously. "No, it is not because of Endymion," *He's
been dead for years now, anyways* She thought sadly. Like a distant memory
she imagined she could hear his soft laughter, echoing through her mind. 
Serena stepped off the dancefloor, disheartened. "I don't feel very well.
Do you mind taking me home?"
	He shook his head, "I'm sorry about this Serena." He lead her off
the dance floor and back to the table. After a couple questioning looks from
Jessica, they packed up and were back in the limo. Serena looked into 
Corbin's blue eyes, so like those eyes from so long ago. *Endymion, why
weren't you reborn with me? Then we could be together. I miss you so much!*
She wiped the beginnings of tears out of her eyes. She hid from their 
questioning glances by staring out the window. It took her a few minutes 
before she realised that they were heading in the same direction as they were
on the way to the resteraunt. Feeling anxious, Serena turned around to them.
"Are we going back to the institute?"
	Her eyes swung around the car to look at each of them. They turned
their faces away, not answering. She turned to Corbin, "What's going on?"
	Staring at her through painfilled eyes, he shook his head. "You 
aren't going back to the institute. You are coming with me."
	Serena tried to hide the tremble in her voice. "What do you mean?"
	He stared at her, his eyes glinting with the passing street lights.
"This is for your own good Serena. I won't hurt you, just trust me."
	"Where are you taking me? What's going on?" She moved towards the 
door, reaching for the handle.
	Jessica caught her arm, "Don't try to escape, you'll only fall
and die if you open that door."
	Serena turned to look out the window, mirrors seemed to surround the
vehicle reflecting the small glimpse of light that came from the car. She
dropped her hand in shock, and turned back to them. "Who..Who are you?"





	Amy sat back against the chair, rubbing her forehead. Her eyes hurt
from staring at the computer screen. *At least we came to a decision on
the mutants whether or not it's a good decision, it is our only choice.*
Her hands tapped at the keyboard, moving quickly across the keys. *All I
need is for this program to work. And when it does, we can finally go back
to normal, if that's possible.*
	"Amy?"
	The voice made her jump, nervously she turned in her chair to face
the door. "Mother, I thought you were going to be working late?"
	"I decided not to." 
	Amy reached up and turned off the computer screen.
	"What about you? Have you been up all night?"
	Amy flinched. "Oh, I'm just putting the finishing touches on a 
project I've been working on." *That's not completely a lie anyways.*
	"What's it about? Maybe I can help." Her mother almost jumped with
excitement.
	"No!" She quickly, then to elaborate, "I'm almost done anyways,
besides that, I wouldn't want to trouble you after work."
	Rachel closed her eyes for a moment then opened them. "You know Amy,
if anything is bugging you, you can always come to me. I know that I'm 
busy a lot with work, but I'll be there for you when you need me. You know
that right?"
	Amy turned back to the blank computer screen. "I..I know that. There
isn't anything wrong." She turned back to her, her chin stuck out stubbornly.
"Nothing at all."
	Their eyes locked together for a moment, then Amy dropped her eyes.
For a while silence fell between them like a thick fog. Then Rachel sighed,
"Okay then, Well it's been a long night and if your sure that you don't want
any help?" She waited for Amy to nodd then continued, "I'll go to bed." She
turned around to go to her bedroom.
	"Goodnight Mother."
	"Goodnight Amy."
	Amy waited for a minute then turned the computer back on, she wiped
at her eyes, trying to see the computer screen. *Mother, I'm sorry I lied to
you. I don't want you to be disappointed in me but I have to do this myself.*





	Mina settled back on the park bench. The sun had only been up
for a half hour or so, but already the park was filling with people. She 
looked at the children play and let out a sigh. *Well at least some people
are happy.*
	"What is it that a pretty girl like you would have to sigh about?"
a cool voice asked from behind her. 
	Mina turned around to look at the person who had spoke. She went 
starry-eyed at the sight before her. A tall man stood behind the bench, 
looking at her. A large lock of blonde hair fell nonchallantly down his
face, almost covering one of his teal colored eyes. She was about to put on
her best flirting expression when she remembered the question, and the answer.
Her eyes dropped down and she turned away.
	"There is a lot on my mind."
	"Well, you are very young, you should forget about your troubles and
go have fun."
	She thought of Raye and Serena somewhere in America, and Lita and
Darien off looking for them, *Just forget everything?* "There are a lot of
things happening that I can't forget about."
	Moving to sit next to her, he stared at her in amusement. "What
could be more important then being young?"
	"My friends." She answered simply.
	"Your friends? If they don't let you have fun what kind of friends 
are they?" He looked at her in disbelief. "Life should be fun."
	"That's what we fight for." Mina spoke without thinking. She searched
her mind for some kind of explaination but none would come. She looked up
at him, hoping that he hadn't heard her or hadn't really comprehended the
meaning. The confused eyes staring back at her left no doubt that he had
heard her. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing would come out.
	"Excuse me. Am I interrupting?" The smooth voice sounded like a smile
Mina turned to look at the elegant woman standing there. Her hair was a light
aqua color, cut to just above her shoulders. She was wearing a sophisticated
looking outfit that made Mina think of a princess. *Though not our princess!*
She really couldn't picture Serena looking elegant and classy like this lady.
Serena was just Serena, funa and lovable.
	"Only a good interruption." The man stood up and walked over to the
other girl. Mina drooped a little in disappointment. *He already has a girl-
friend.* Then she smiled, *or maybe he doesn't!*
	"I was just talking to this girl here," He turned back to her. "I'm
sorry, how rude of me. I forgot to ask your name?"
	Mina smiled a little. "I'm Mina Aino."
	He smiled. "Very nice to meet you. I'm Haruka Ten'oh and this is
Michiru Kaioh." He nodded towards the other girl. Mina smiled at her.
	"Haruka, it's time to leave already."
	"Right, I hope to talk to you again soon Mina." He winked at her and
turned towards Michiru. "It was very nice meeting you Mina." 
	She waved at them as they left. "Nice to meet you too." Standing up,
Mina left the park, there was still a lot to be done.




	"We have to go out to look for Serena and Raye and we decided that
the best way to do that was in pairs, you know that! You agreed with us!"
Lita shouted out the words. She was almost at the end of her rope. She didn't
know how many times she was awake late into the night wishing that this had
never happened, that she would wake up tomorrow in her own bed and find out
that it was all a dream. With a shaking hand she pushed her bangs back from
her eyes. She released her breathe slowly, *Okay I need to calm down.*
	"I know what you two are up to! Your going out so that you can be
alone together! Huh! Well I won't stand for it! You two are shameless, 
cheating on that poor girl when she's missing!" Grandpa glared at them,
crossing his arms in front of him.
	Lita clenched her hands into fists. *That's it! I'm gonna punch him!*
Darien's hand wrapped around her arm and dragged her out the door. "It's
no use arguing with him, he'll beleive what he wants to."
	Nodding in agreement Lita followed him outside the hotel and into
an alley. When they were sure that no one was watching them they transformed
and took to the rooftops. "According to the maps, there isn't much in the
area where the energy beam went off. First we're going to try the main 
building. It's some sort of school, but it's a large building with plenty
of surrounding area. There is a good chance that Serena is there, and 
probably Raye as well."
	"Right!" They took off out of the city.
	When they reached the edge of the property they stopped to regroup.
"Okay, there doesn't appear to be anyone guarding it. Just remember, be
careful and if we don't see each other inside, meet back out here in ten
minutes."
	Jupiter ran to the building. For a second she stared up at it, 
impressed by how enormous it was. Nodding her head in determination she 
walked up to a window and slid it open. *This is kinda easy!* Lifting 
herself up she crawled into the dark room, and into the arms of the man
standing there. "Oh no."
	"Well well, whadda we have here?"

	Tuxedo Mask jumped up to the second story window, balancing on the
ledge he opened it and went inside. Moving carefully, he slipped open the
door and went out into the hall. 
	Standing for a moment he looked down either way and then headed to
the left. *Come on Serena, give me some sign of where you are!* He listened
for a second at one of the doors. Hearing no movement, he slowly pushed it
open and looked inside. Backing out of the empty room he brushed up against
something. Stiffening, he readied his cane to attack.
	"I don't think so sugah."
	Moving quickly he swung around and hit the woman. Not waiting, he 
ran past her down the hall. *Not good, caught in an enclosed place when they
know where to go and I'm running blind.* In the back of his mind he realised
that if they caught him they probably had Jupiter too. He turned off into
a room and stood still, his ears picked up the sound of footsteps. 
	"Proffessor, we lost the man."
	"Keep looking, we have the girl downstairs."
	Tuxedo Mask waited until they had run past the door before leaving.
*I have to get downstairs and get Jupiter.* Keeping to the corners he found
his way downstairs. Where Jupiter was was quite obvious. She was standing in
the middle of an open room, surrounded by a bunch of very strange looking
people, the least of which being a man with wierd goggles over his eyes. 
Jupiter herself was sitting in a large metal chair. She was struggling 
against solid metal band wrapped around her arms. wipping his cape around, he
threw a dozen roses into the crowd. 
	The group dodged the roses that aimed at them and stared up at him. 
With a roar Jupiter stood up, two roses embedded in the circuits of the chair.
He threw more into the crowd trying to give Jupiter an escape cover. The
white haired one floated up into the air, her hair fanning out around her. 
She looked down into the crowd, her eyes a sparkling white. Not waisting
time Jupiter moved into an attack. 
	She put her hands up on either side of her tiara. A small antannae
extended from it, drawing in energy that made her whole body crackle from
energy. "Jupiter Thunder!" It formed around her encompassing her whole body.
She moved her feet out. "Dragon!" The lightning around her expanded, rushing
from her body and pushing out into the room. The pulsing electricity crushed
together, forming the shape of a dragon. Circling the room, the dragon headed
towards the floating woman in white. Throwing back her arms, Storm hurled a
large bolt of lightning towards the charging dragon. It exploded, pushing 
loose lightning towards her in a rush. Storm hit the wall, not able to stand
the force of the electricity. 
	Not missing her chance, Jupiter started to run towards Tuxedo Mask.
	"Stop them!"
	Her mind screamed under pressure and she collapsed towards the ground
only keeping her eyes open long enough to see Tuxedo Mask also fall onto
the ground. Closing her eyes, she pushed herself up from the floor. It took
all her willpower to resist enough to rise up. When she got up she found that
she no longer had any more power. Her eyes rolling back into her head, 
Jupiter collapsed unconcious onto the floor. 
	Jean removed her hands from her temples. "They're very strong." She
wiped sweat from her forehead. 
	"Let's get them tied up before they wake up!"



	Tuxedo Mask awoke to a dark room. His eyes took in the surroundings
with interest. Large dark screens covered most of the walls, but were well
away from where he was sitting. Next to him was Jupiter, still unconcious.
Strapped to a chair like the one she was in earlier. Moving around a bit,
he realised that there was almost no way out of the chair without someone 
else using the controls. Next to him, Jupiter started to wake up. After a 
couple of moans her head came up. "Where are we?"
	"I don't know, I think we're in some sort of control room." he moved
in the chair, trying to force the cuffs up. "Jupiter, can you short circuit
the controls on the chair with your lightning?"
	There was a struggle next to him for a moment. "No, I can't do it
without electricuting myself." She pulled against the bonds, helplessly.
	Tuxedo Mask's eyes caught movement in the darkened room. He followed
it as it walked around the screens. Jupiter also stopped moving, staring at
the moving form. Suddenly, the controls lit up to reveal the person standing
there. Jupiter drew in a breath. "Mars!"
	Sailor Mars didn't move from the computer terminal. 
	Jupiter tried again. "Mars, come let us out of these things. How
did you get here anyways?"
	The dark head turned towards her and Jupiter drew in a breath. The
eyes staring at her were full of malice. She turned back and put something
inside the computer, then her attention again turned to the two people in 
the chairs. She grinned down at them for a moment then drew back her fist
and punched Jupiter in the stomache. The breath rushed out of her and she
leaned forward trying to draw in a breath. Mars turned to Tuxedo Mask and
hit him across the face, causing his mask and top hat to go flying across 
the room. He turned back to face her, trying to pull out of the bonds that
held him. "Why are you doing this?"
	She looked at them in digust. "Mutant scum." Turning from them she
went out the door, disappearing into the dark.
	Tuxedo Mask leaned over to Jupiter. "Are you alright?"
	She straitened up. "I'm okay."
	Tuxedo Mask settled down. "I don't think there's anything we can
do but wait." They sat in silence for a second. 
	"Wait a minute!" Jupiter sat up. "I have an idea. If I can turn on
my comunicator to transmit a distress signal....then when Venus and Mercury
find out we are missing, they have an easier way to track us down!"
	Tuxedo Mask frowned. "We already know that it won't transmit over
long ranges. So either we would have to go to Tokyo, or they would have to
come here. Also we couldn't get a signal from Raye or Serena. And we know
that something happened to Raye but we don't know what happened to Serena. 
And something happened to their communicators. That's a pretty slim chance
of that working."
	Jupiter drew in a breathe. "I know all that! But its the only chance
we have right now. So we might as well take it!"
	Tuxedo Mask nodded. "Alright then, do it."
	"Well," Jupiter stared down at her hands in embarassment. "I don't
exactly have it on me. But as soon as they release our hands, I can get it 
and turn it on. And we can hope since it's in my Z-space pocket that they 
won't be able to discover it. And they certainly shouldn't be able to get
at it anyways."
	"Yeah but if it's in z-space, how can the signal get out?"
	Jupiter grinned. "Very simple. I'm the signal. The only opening port
to z-space where my communicator is, is through me. So the signal will go
out through me and from there, it is picked up by the communicators when
they are close enough."
	"Oh." He looked a little dazed. "If you say so."
	"Well actually," She grinned a little embarrassed. "Amy told me."



	

	Serena woke up with a start. Her eyes took in the unfamiliar 
surroundings. She sat up in the bed and looked around. Everything seemed to
be white, but on closer look she noticed that it was really a crystal. 
Remembering the events of the night before, she stood up to go to the door.
She was stopped short at her clothing. Looking down, she noticed that she
was dressed in a form fitting white gown, inlaid with diamonds. *How?* 
	The door in front of her opened and Corbin Mitchells walked inside.
He stood for a moment to stare at her. "So you're awake? I trust this isn't
too much of a shock for you?"
	Serena stared at him, his clothing had changed, although his hair
and eyes remained the same silver and blue. He was now wearing a white 
outfit with a dark colored design on the front. He had a cape on that swung
out behind him and the most noticable change was a black crescent moon mark,
upside down from her own. Serena's hand flew to her forhead, she remembered
now that she wore make-up to cover up her crescent moon. Feeling dazed she
looked around for a mirror but couldn't find one. He smiled at her. "Don't
worry. Emerald took care of you. She also removed your make-up, something
about leaving it on too long being bad for your skin." He shrugged uncaring.
	Serena backed away from him. "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
	He walked towards her. "My name is Diamond. You are on my spaceship."
He stared at her, smiling softly. "Don't worry, I'll take care of you. Our
wedding is scheduled in two days. After that everything will be alright."
	Serena stared at him in shock. "Our wedding? What do you mean. Why
are you doing this?"
	Corbin, or rather Diamond, leaned back against the wall, looking at
her. "Years ago, my people were banished from the earth to another world far
away. It was desolate and unlivable."
	"The people worked hard to make food grow. They were aided by 
Neo-Queen Serenity. She used the Silver Crystal to make oxygen and give 
the soil vital nutrients to make plants grow."
	"But her husband wanted the people to be left alone to die slowly of
starvation..."
	"I have always loved her since I was young. She was good and just
but King Endymion held her spellbound to him."
	"When she tried to escape he encased her into a crystal where she 
will remain forever never growing old and never dying."
	"I vowed to stop it before it happened. Very few Sailors were loyal
to Serenity, they helped Endymion to encase her in her crystal tomb. But
one was still on her side. She gave me a key, so that I could travel back in
time and change the future. That is why I am here, Serenity. To save you 
from this fate."
	Serena's breath caught. Endymion? "No, your wrong. I know Endymion."
*My love, where you really reborn with us? Could it be?* "And he would never
hurt me! And the Sailors would never betray me either!"
	Diamond pushed himself away from the wall angily. "That is the truth.
I will give you time to think it over." He walked out through the door. It
slid shut behind him. Serena heard a click and rushed over to the door trying
to pull it open. She moved away from the door, it was no good, he had locked
it behind him. For a moment she wanted to cry but she stopped herself. *I 
need to get out of here!*
	She had just settled back on the bed when the lock clicked. The door
swung open to reveal a very different looking Jessica. She was now wearing
a short black dress with large emeralds embedded into it. Taking a hint 
Serena sat up and stared at her. "I suppose your really Emerald?" The girl
nodded at her, setting down the tray of food she was carrying. "That's it!"
She leaned back, "This is a dream and I'm imagining it."
	Emerald sat down. "It's not a dream. I suggest that you do everything
our great lord wants. After all, it's a great honor to be asked to marry 
Prince Diamond." Her voice was cool and a bit sarcastic.
	Serena picked up on it automatically. "I don't want to be his wife.
I'm in love with Endymion!" She looked at Emerald for a bit. "You don't
sound very happy about Diamond wanting to marry me." Emerald laughed at her.
	"Happy?! Happy. Why should I be happy? All my life I've worked my
hardest, done my best and gone beyond that even. I've followed him to the
ends of the earth, I'd do anything he wanted if he only asked, and does he
even notice me? No, all he can see is his precious Neo Queen Serenity!"
	Emerald picked up a piece of fruit that was sitting on the tray and
popped it in her mouth. She chewed on it for a while, her actions jerky. 
Serena picked something off the plate too. "I'm sorry, but I can't do 
anything about it. I...I've never even met him before and I don't love him.
I just want to go home." She felt tears come to her eyes, and sniffled a bit.
Emerald also joined in. The two were well into their sobs when the door slid
open again, this time Kevin came in dressed in blue and silver. He looked
at the scene in shock, then quickly set down the water he brought in and left.
	Emerald rubbed her eyes. "We must look a mess." She smiled at that.
	Serena also rubbed her eyes dry. "There's something I don't get. I
thought you were in love with Kevin, or whatever his real name is."
	"Saphire. No I don't love him, he's already in love with some girl 
from back home. In a way it's sad, he left her there to follow his brother.
Those two are very close, Saphire always stands behind him no matter what."
	"A while ago, a man came to our home planet. He talked in conference
with Diamond for a while. Saphire was afraid because he thought that Diamond
might listen to the man but in the end the man was banished from coming near
the planet. It was a little before that when the Neo Queen was not allowed 
to come to the planet again. That's why Saphire was afraid, he thought that
because he was so upset, Diamond might actually listen."	
	"I think I understand a little."
	Serena picked up another peice of food from the tray. Emerald stood
up and walked to the door. 
	"Willl you come and visit me again?" Serena asked quietly.
	Emerald looked at the sad blue eyes of the girl on the bed, she 
looked like a lost young girl and Emerald softened even more towards her.
"Yes I'll try. And we'll see a lot of each other after you marry Diamond, I'm
his second in command, next to his brother." That said she slipped out the
door, locking it behind her. 
	Serena stared at the plate in front of her, feeling lost. *I think
I understand why he did it, but he was wrong. Endymion would never hurt me.*
	She had just finished eating everything on the plate, besides some
questionable food, when the door opened again. Diamond walked in smiling.
"I have given you time to think it over. Do you now agree to become my bride
willingly?"
	Serena stood up to face him. "Corbin-Diamond. I..I think you are 
mistaken. I don't want to become your bride. I just want to go home."
	He shook his head, becoming angry. "I told you that is not possible!"
	Serena looked at him seriously. "You also said you loved the Queen-
me. If you truely loved me you would let me go."
	His clouded face cleared and he smiled. "I thought you might think
like that. I want you to meet your new roommate. Just to make sure you don't
think about leaving. I mentioned that the Soldier of Time gave me a key so
that I could change the past. There was one more thing that I didn't mention."
Saphire walked through the door, dragging a small girl behind him. With a
nodd from Diamond, he turned and left, leaving the girl there.
	Serena looked confused at the small child. "I don't understand."
	"Let me elaborate, the Neo-Queen had a daughter, Serenity tried to
keep her safe in the past by her only faithful Sailor the sailor of time. 
But Uranus and Neptune stopped her before she could send the girl through 
time. She is now in my care. You wouldn't want to leave her all alone would
you?"
	Serena got upset. "How could you be so cruel?"
	He looked at her for a moment then stated quietly. "I do what I have
to do to prevent the future from happening."
	He turned around to leave. "I'll let the two of you get acquainted."
	After he had gone Serena stared at the small pink haired child. She
stood up and walked over to her. "Hello, I'm Serena. What's your name?"
	The small girl started to speak, her voice so quiet that Serena
had to lean close to hear it. "I'm..I'm Neo-Princess Serenity but my mommy 
and Puu call me Small Lady. Are you really my mommy?"
	Serena leaned back. "Hello Small Lady. Yes, or at least, I will be
your mother one day." She walked over to the bed. "How about we get to know
each other huh?"





	"What the heck happened here?" Rogue asked. She rubbed the sleep out
of her eyes. "It looks like heck wouldn't have it in here."
	Wolverine settled down. "Serena didn't come home, and someone else
broke in."
	Rogue looked over at their two captives. The man's hat and mask were 
off, she noticed them laying about two feet away from him. Now that his
face was uncovered she could see that he was very goodlooking. Pulling her
eyes away from him she turned towards Beast.
	"It seems that our intruder has accessed the main computer. A virus
was implanted in it that has crashed the whole system. It will take some 
time to get operational again." He sat at the desk punching on the keys.
	Wolverine walked over to the two captives, the soft shing of metal
alerting Rogue to the fact that his blades were out. He put them under Tuxedo
Mask's chin making him hold his head up in order to avoid the blades. Tuxedo
Mask glared back at him. "Who came in here? I know that you saw whoever did
this."
	Jupiter glared at him. "Leave him alone! What did 'you' do with 
Serena?!"
	Wolverine walked over to her. "You little..."
	"Wolverine stop!"
	




	Well I wanted this to be the last chapter but Notepad can't handle
the size. I guess I'll break 9 into two parts. DANG IT!
