Your Dream is an Empire

Chapter 14: Time for a Search

(And after this, we also have five more chapters! Going to be honest, this seemed longer than I thought it was. Also, I am very happy a lot of you enjoy it! Which is a relief! I was expecting this one to be the weakest of my Thank You Stories,  but it does have a higher viewer rate! Thank you!  Enjoy!)

            Bel and George decided to explore the castle when the Cures were taken by the Queen of Dreams. They found the basement and saw the statues.

"What is this place?" George asked in awe at Sailor Moon.

Bel licked his lollipop and walked around each statue.

"Interesting. While we found the former King of Earth and his knight s at the castle of Nightmares" Bel stated.

George remained silent as he let Bel continue to talk about this.

"She is the only one who can stop my plans" Bel said with a grin.

George stared at him and wondered about the importance of this statue.

"Regardless, I know that our queen would want to have her here. Let's get this statue to her then" Bel finished as he placed his hand on her head.

In a flash of darkness, the statue vanished.

"Let's go, kid. We've got some work to do" Bel said as he opened a portal of darkness back to the Empire of Nightmares.

George stood in place and asked, "What about our teammates?"

Bel chewed his lollipop and turned to George to say, "They're gone. That foolish queen took them away, because she knew they would believe in the idea of a bright future and second chances. They are not our allies anymore. They are our enemies"

George was very surprised to hear that they were given a second chance and a future. He wanted to learn more about this from this Queen of Dreams. At the moment, he couldn't. If he was going to survive this, he would have to play along with bel for a bit.

"Understood. Let's go" George said as they departed.

It was then that the Cures and their allies arrived at their respective castles.

"She's been taken by that terrible general of darkness" a black cat said as she and a white cat appeared before the Cures and their allies.

"Who are you?" Miyuki asked surprised.

"I am Luna, and this is Artemis. We. Are advisors to the Queen of Dreams. We saw what happened to her" the black cat explained calmly to them.

The Cures were shocked to the see the statues and hear about this.

"But we need to save the current guardians here! Can we do this?" Miyuki asked loudly at everyone.

Luna nodded as she went to Sailor Mercury's statue and said. "We need the blue Cures to transfer their powers to her"

Cure White, Beauty, Diamond, and Ange stepped around Sailor Mercury. They extended their hands towards the statue. They each shined a bright, blue light to Sailor Mercury. Zoisite gasped as he saw the stone cracking from her body. Then, she was freed and fell down. Zoisite quickly rushed towards the water and ice princess and caught her.

"Mercury, are you ok? Please speak to me, then you can rest" Zoisite spoke softly to her as he gently placed her on the ground.

She opened her eyes and looked up at Zoisite nervously.

"Mercury! Oh! Thank goodness! I was so worried about you!" Zoisite said in relief as he carried her and looked at Cure White, "May I please take her to a room to rest for a while?"
