Revenge: Part 2

Disclaimer: We only wish we owned Luna, Artemis, Whiteblaze, and everyone else. Sadly, we don't. But, we did come up with Tred! Oh yeah, that Natanya lady in part one, we came up with her too.

3 days later...
        "Hey Luna?"
        "What, Artemis."
        "Have you seen Mina lately?"
        "No I haven't, why?"
        "Have you seen anyone lately?"
        "...."
        "Come on, Luna! We've got to find them!"
        Luna jumped onto the desk in Serena's room and tapped a little electronic card. "Serena? Come in Serena!" She looked over at looked over at Artemis, whose eyes were growing bigger each second. "There's no answer."
        "To the park, then!" Luna started off and her pace quickened as she thought of the danger her scouts may be in.

* * * * *
        Upon their arrival at the park, they were greeted with orange tape and several police cars blocking their way.
        "This looks real bad, Luna." Artemis slipped between two policemen and gawked at what he saw. "It's gone, all gone!"
        Luna came up behind him and began to search the area. "What could have done this? Certainly not the Sailor Scouts!"
        "Did they just blow up or what?! They had to go somewhere!" Artemis' eye caught sight of something yellow in the distance. "Oh, God, Tred?!" He ran over and picked it up.
        "Sometimes I believe that you and Mina have one brain between you!" Luna began to search for more clues, while Artemis began sniffing the ground.
        "It definitely smells like they were here." Artemis suddenly perked up. "And I smell something else too..." He sniffed some more and gasped slightly. "Some sort of Negaverse energy reduced the whole place to nothing! Do you think they're still alive?"
        "Of course they are, Artemis! They wouldn't go down that easy! And even if they did, there would be bodies at least!"
        Luna pulled out a little machine from that spiffy little pocket somewhere behind her back and began to scan the area.
        Artemis looked at the frisbee in front of him as it started to shake. "Luna! Tred's okay, and... I think he's been freed by the explosion!"
        "What the heck are you talking about Artemis! Tred is just some stupid name that you and Mina gave that frisbee. HE IS NOT REAL!"
pJust then small cracks appeared in the frisbee, and a glowing figure burst forth from it.
        "Who...what is that!" Luna jumped back as Artemis stepped closer.
        "That's Tred."
        "Artemis, can you hear me? The Sailor Scouts have been transported to the Netherworld..."
        "Netherworld?"
        "Yes. In it a dark lord named Talpa is working with Queen Beryl. This combination of incredible power could only mean an extremely tough fight is in store for your scouts."
        Luna gained courage and stepped toward Tred. "My friend Whiteblaze knows about a guy named Talpa. I wonder how..."
        Tred brightened. "Ah, yes. Whiteblaze is with the Ronins. They may be in grave danger."
        "Ronins?" Luna and Artemis looked at each other confusedly and when they looked back Tred was gone.
        "I guess we had better go see your friend, Luna. It appears he's got something to do with this."
* * * * *
        Tred soared through dimensions and came upon the Netherworld. He psychically read Mina's location and then continued on, stopping every once in a while to stare disgustedly at the condition of the place.
        "How lovely." Tred floated over to where blood and grime were slowly overtaking the river. He shuttered at the darkness and loneliness of the place. "Think Tred. You can't stop now! You've got to find Mina and the other Sailor Scouts!" He paused. "And you also have to stop talking to yourself."
        Suddenly, a clear picture of where the scouts were entered his mind. "I'm close...yes! There it is!" He flew through the side window of a huge metal dungeon. As he went deeper and deeper, the picture in his mind grew more and more vivid.
        "There they are!" Tred floated to where Mina was chained, and he sent pulses of energy through her body. She slowly gained consciousness.
        Mina looked up at Tred, and a look of hope and happiness came into her eyes. "Tred..."
        "Are you ok, Mina? Did you break anything? What happened?" Tred asked her these things, all along knowing that she wouldn't have the answers.
        "I dunno...That Natanya lady, she kicked me in the head and then every thing went black, and now I'm here. Am I in bad trouble, Tred? Why haven't you undone the chains yet?"
        "I can't, Mina. I'm still very weak from being trapped in that damned frisbee. Right now I'm little more than a ghost. I would free you if I could...but we will just have to wait for now. Don't worry, Mina. I'll protect you and the others the best I can!"
        With those words, Mina slipped back into unconsciousness, the energy Tred had given her used up. Tred stood guard and prepared to protect them from any evil that may come.
