Act XXII: Mission: Ryo's Rescue

Megumi went out her house. In the garden was a note.

You'll better go to the Andromeda's observatory or your precious Ryo will die. Bring your "Pandora’s box". Sincerely...

Nereid

Nereid has trapped Ryo?

Megumi ran to Rika's house.

Rika: Bye Mom!

She made a step and...

Megumi: Rika!!!

Rika got a sweat drop and fell in the ground.

Megumi: Are you Ok?

Rika: Yeah, just don't shout at me like that... What’s up?

Megumi: Nereid has trapped Ryo...

Rika: She has seen you love him...

Megumi: Shut up, Rika.

Both girls ran to the Andromeda observatory. In front of it was a statue of an enchained Andromeda.

Megumi: Thinking that my name comes from this woman, who suffered so much...

They entered and founded a dimensional door in there.

Rika: Nobody has come here for a long time.

Suddenly, they saw three figures near.

Rika: We'll better transform now... Before they see us...

Megumi: Andromeda's Lost Senshi Power, Make-up!

Rika: Pandora’s Friendship Power, Make-up!

Sailor Andromeda got near the three figures. She recognised Midori, Poseiotto and Aigyou.

Megumi: Shouldn't you three be at school?

Poseiotto: No, Meg.

Midori: We'll stay with you and Rika.

Megumi: You know I'm...

Aigyou: We have just seen you transforming...

Poseiotto had blushed.

Poseiotto: Really nice!

Meg blushed.

Midori: Have you got a problem?

Megumi: Yes... Ryo has been captured.

Aigyou: We'll help you!

Poseiotto: We don't have powers as you do but we can give you our support...

Rika: Great, we'll go then!

A yellow dimensional door opened.

Megumi: We'll better go...

The five kids entered the door and appeared in a green prairie full of yellow daisies.

Megumi: My favourite flowers...

She kneeled to touch them, when Midori grabbed her hand.

Midori: Don't touch them...

She took out a ring and threw it to the flowers. They ate it. Meg and Rika couldn't believe it.

Rika: How did you know?

Aigyou: That technique was taught to us...

Poseiotto covered her mouse.

Poseiotto: It's obviously a trap, all this place must be dangerous...

Rika: Well, I'll destroy all of these... Pandora’s Ribbon Surprise! Attack!

The daisies were all killed...

Megumi: Poor flowers...

Nereid appeared. A wind made everyone's hair fly. She stared at the three Kai kids with shiny eyes, as they looked at her.

Nereid: You have brought friends... It doesn't matter. You must get into my cell before noon or I'll kill Ryo...

She disappeared.

Midori: An obvious trap...

Poseiotto: She'll try to kill us in the way...

Megumi: But I must save Ryo... He hasn't done anything...

They continued walking in the deserted garden.

Rika: This garden is so sad...

Hey you are the one that destroyed the flowers...

Rika: I heard that!

Megumi: I haven't talk!

Rika: But you thought that!

She can read my mind?

Rika: Yeah, I can read you mind! I don't know how... But, it doesn't matter, the flowers were evil!

Megumi: But beautiful...

And now she starts with the everything-has-the-right-to-live thing...

Megumi: Shut up!

Rika: You heard that?

Megumi: Now I see you always have had bad thoughts about me!

Rika: You too!

Megumi: I'll save Ryo by myself!

Rika: Go then!

Rika turned and walk back. Megumi continued walking.

Midori: Stop you two!

They both turned.

Aigyou: Aren't you seeing what Nereid is doing?

Poseiotto: She has given the ability to read each other mind to make you fight!

Midori: You are friends...

Aigyou: Don't destroy the beautiful gift of friendship...

Megumi stared at Rika. Rika seemed sad.

Megumi: I'm sorry Rika...

Rika looked at her arrogantly.

Rika: ... Me too.

Meg jumped and hugged her.

Megumi: I'll never fight with you again!

Rika blushed.

Midori: We'll better continue...

They continued walking. Nereid stared at them from a yellow window.

Nereid: Medusa, Amphitrite and Poseidon continue helping them.

Oceanus appeared from her back.

Oceanus: Want some help?

Nereid: No! I'll prove you I'm not longer a child and I'll destroy Sailor Andromeda!

Oceanus: You know her secret identity and haven't tell Lady Witch Carriet... Sailor Andromeda is Megumi Mayo…

Nereid: You didn't stop our siblings when they escaped... I know you are twice faster than they are. You didn't catch them because you didn't wanted to.

Oceanus blushed.

Nereid: I won’t tell our Lady if you don't tell her Sailor Andromeda's identity...

Oceanus turned back and left. He got in a green chamber. He took out his black cape, the same colour of his pant. He wore a green commander coat with a golden star in the centre. He had some medals in his shoulders and a black string as Poseidon with his green Crystal. His cape was hang by three pins in each shoulder. He had a black band on his head.

He stared at a picture of a beautiful woman. Her hair changed from red on top to yellow in the end, passing the green, blue and purple.

Oceanus: Mother... Am I doing the right thing?

Nereid took out some playing cards.

Nereid: Time for a story... Andromeda in Wonderland!

Megumi turned as she heard something. She saw a white rabbit running from her.

Megumi: Rika... What is a Rabbit doing here?

Rika turned.

Rika: I have no idea...

Suddenly, the Rabbit disappeared and the Queen of Hearts appeared, gigantic, of course.

Midori: Nereid is having a cool idea...

The Queen turned to life.

Queen: Cut off their heads!!!

Lot of cards appeared and followed them.

Rika: Run for your lives!!!

Nereid laughed in the floor.

Nereid: The Queen of Hearts! "Cut off their heads." Ha!

Megumi stopped and turned.

Megumi: Rika... We must fight...

Rika imitated Meg.

Rika: Yeah...

Megumi: Crystal Moon Attack!

Rika: Pandora’s Ribbon Surprise! Attack!

The cards flew away. Nereid raised.

Nereid: They destroyed my cards!

Megumi and Rika joined the Kai kids.

Rika: Easy...

Midori pointed something. Megumi screamed.

Megumi: That's Ryo's cell!

She ran fast. Everyone followed her. Megumi hold the bars.

Megumi: Ryo!

He opened his sleepy eyes.

Ryo: Sailor Andromeda?

Megumi: Ryo, you are safe...

Ryo: I had just walked two steps out my home when a blonde girl grabbed my arms and put me to sleep... Where are we?

All reached them.

Midori: In Commander Nereid's world...

Poseiotto: Andromeda, use your power to open a dimensional door...

Megumi: Power of Andromeda, open us a door!

A purple door appeared and the six of them jumped out. Ryo fainted as the shock of the dimensional change reached him.

Megumi: Poor Ryo...

Nereid appeared.

Nereid: Poor you!

She shot a ray, which got Rika.

Megumi: Rika!

Rika: Don't worry Meg, Pandora’s Ribbon Surprise!

It reached Nereid, who screamed.

Megumi: Crystal Moon Attack!

Nereid fell in the ground of the observatory. She sort of walked to a wall and hid her head in her hands. Megumi and Rika went to her.

Megumi: You kidnapped Ryo!

Rika: You have done so much things...

Megumi: You...

Midori and Aigyou jumped in front of Nereid.

Both: No!

Megumi: But... why?

Midori: She's our sister... I'm Medusa...

She transformed and Aigyou and Poseiotto too.

Poseidon: Please, she's too young...

Megumi: We won't kill her, even if she weren't your sister... We can't kill...

Nereid smiled unbelieving.

Medusa: Let's transform back!

Everyone got his or her human forms, even Nereid become Nerai.

Next day Ryo walked by Megumi’s side.

Ryo: ...and then she opened a dimensional gate... Sailor Andromeda is incredible...

Megumi: I think so...

Rika walked and hit a boy.

Rika: Ouch!

Boy: Sorry.

Rika stared at his green hair and light green eyes. He walked away. Rika, blushed, joined Meg and Ryo.

Rika: Meg, I have just met a wonderful guy... but I didn't ask him his name!

Megumi: Oh, Rika!

Ryo: Um, are you interested in him, Meg?

Megumi: Of course not Ryo, of course not...

It's sort of enough to love two boys, so I'm not looking for a third one... Now my only problem must be the appearance of the last sea Child… The eldest brother.
