Chapter Forty-Seven: Mamoru In Danger
He hovered high above Central City. This particular place had something that he, the Dream Master, was needing to ruling over the dream world.
Unfortunately, two powerful items were out of his reach: the Necklace of Oros and the Quasar energy. He figured that the ones who obtain those two artifacts must be in the underground part of this world, which was out of his reach. The cursed Netherworld! That kingdom must be keeping him from those two powerful items.
However, that didn't mean that there wasn't other powerful stuff that was present. With that possible, there were also things that would also stand in his way. A certain magician was in the city and there was also a young girl with long golden hair who had the silver crystal. Those two would be in the way of his plans to rule over the dream world and eventually get control over the Netherworld and obtain both the Necklace of Oros and the Quasar powers in which both appeared to be at.
The Dream Master looked up as he was thinking about the ones with crystals that he could still use to his advantage. It was a good thing he knew their names as well as their identities.
There was Ami and she was gentle, perhaps to a fault. Rei was the opposite of Ami. Makoto was strong but not what he was looking for. Minako was the leader of the Inners but she could be plighty at times. Haruka was the leader of the Outers but she could be rather bold and arrogant. Michiru was gentle but rather bold. Setsuna was bold as well but she was not the person he was looking for. Hotaru had strong potential but her power was not what he was looking for as well.
Finally, he noticed a significant energy residing within one individual. This person had the great power known as the Golden Crystal. This was the exact power that he was looking for. The exact power that he could use to rule over the dream world.

Mamoru ran frantically as if he was sensing some sort of danger. He looked to see a woman in golden armor akin to a gladiator of some sorts appear in front of him. She chuckled. "I am Sailor Galaxia and this whole galaxy belongs to me!"
He looked down to see Rick laying face down in a pool of blood.
"Rick!" Mamoru exclaimed in shock as he walked over to his lifeless body. "It can't be."
He gasped as he looked up above seeing Ami, Makoto, Minako and Rei all dangled in vines. He turned to the opposite side of the room to see Setsuna, Hotaru, Haruka and Michiru also dangled in vines.
"The girls!" Mamoru exclaimed in shock as they were being vaporized by an explosion set by Galaxia, who laughed with satisfaction before stating. "Now for the grand finale."
First, Mamoru looked to see Jedda in anguish as Krotan was falling to his death. Then he saw the Defenders on their knees, with lost hope. Moments later, Jedda and the Defenders were engulfed by another blast of energy.
"The Defenders! Jedda!" Mamoru yelled in shock.
He looked to see Usagi dangled in vines. Moments later, she was engulfed in a massive explosion.
"Usako, no!" Mamoru screamed in horror at the sight of this. He fell to his knees in anguish.
He took a deep breath as he noticed that he had these nightmares for the past few days and normally by this point, he would wake up from this nightmare.
"So you are wondering about these nightmares you have been having these past few days." Galaxia stated.
Mamoru stood up. He looked at her as she transformed into some sort of demon with long black claws, pointed ears and red eyes.
"Who are you and what do you want?!" Mamoru demanded.
"I am one that is known as the Dream Master," the demon introduced himself, "and I am seeking the object that is known as the Golden Crystal."
"The Golden Crystal?" Mamoru asked, surprised that a demonic force would know something like this. Did he know about the Silver Crystal as well?
"I happen to know that you are the holder of the Golden Crystal and you are going to hand it over to me if you wish to be free from this nightmare."
-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-
"How is he?" Amy asked.
"We don't quite know for sure." Hotaru answered. "All we know is that it sounds bad."
Amy looked at her and Kshin, who were standing at the doorway with her and then glanced in the room.
The other Sailor Guardians and most of the other Defenders were in the room too. Everyone was worried. Usagi sat next to Mamoru's bedside, holding his hand, not leaving his side. Rei, Ami, Makoto and Minako were standing close to her as was Mandrake. Setsuna, Haruka and Michiru were right behind them as well, showing signs of concern.
"This doesn't look good." Makoto muttered.
"Whatever that thing was affected all of us but it let us go and decided to keep Mamoru for some reason." Rei spoke up.
"There has to be a way to help him." Usagi said as she kept looking at Mamoru. "We have to do something to wake him up! If this keeps up, Mamo will die!"
"I wish I knew how." Minako said sadly.
"Usagi, calm down." Rei told her friend.
"How can you tell me to calm down, Rei?!" Usagi exclaimed. "How?!"
"Usako." Mamoru groaned in his sleep. "Rick. Everyone!"
"Hang in there, Mamo." Usagi pleaded, holding her boyfriend's hand.
"Whatever he is going through must be horrifying." Michiru muttered quietly, holding Haruka's hand.
"He's getting weaker." Setsuna stated. "I can sense it. There isn't a lot of time. If this assault on our prince's mind continues, his mind will fall apart."
Amy was startled upon feeling a tug at her sleeve as she had been listening to the conversation. She turned to see Kshin and Hotaru both staring at her.
"You could try to save him." Kshin told her. "I know that you could use your dream walking powers to do so."
"He's right." Hotaru nodded.
Amy took a deep breath. She was thinking about that because she had liked Mamoru and in fact had a bit of a crush on him. She wanted him to be safe, happy and alive but she wasn't sure if she would be able to dream walk in this situation. She could end up in a similar state or even worse than what Mamoru was in right now. Her mother didn't give her full training of her powers. Would she be able to help?
"I'm not sure if I can help, you guys." Amy spoke up. "I want to help but I don't have the proper training or experience, like my mother had."
"But Mamoru's in grave danger." Kshin insisted. "He needs help and so do the Sailor Guardians!"
"Besides, Mandrake's books aren't helping." Hotaru added. "It is worth a try. It worked well with Kshin."
Amy sighed again before speaking up. "You came in voluntarily, Kshin. Whatever has Mamoru held him against his will."
"That may be true but he will die if you don't try to help him." Hotaru shot back.
"You're scared and I get it, hun but there are things that are worth risking."
The three turned to see Sheila appearing in front of them, smiling.
"Sheila." Hotaru stated in surprise. "Do you know?"
"I found out when I overheard the conversation between Amy and Mamoru." Sheila answered.
"I want to help Mamoru." Amy said. "I really do but I might end up failing. Maybe I'll end up like he is or maybe entering his dreamscape will make things worse."
"That's a lot of maybes if you ask me." Sheila replied before placing an arm on her shoulder. "We're running out of options here. We would be truly thankful if you were willing to step forward and help here. You just have to do the best that you can. If you try your best, it won't be a failure. You can be sure of that."
"If we can't help Mamoru…"
"Then it was worth a shot but you're the only option for him right now. We're running out of time."
Taking a deep breath, Amy stepped forward as she walked into the room.
"There's nothing in there!" April exclaimed, annoyed.
"What will we do now?" Makoto asked.
"Well," Flash said as he entered the room, "Rick and Jedda seem to be doing okay. They're not affected by whatever it was that affected us and affecting Mamoru."
"We need to find a way to enter Mamoru's nightmare." Rei stated.
"I think I have the answer to your problem there." Sheila replied as she pushed Amy further to the direction of Mamoru's bed.
"How are you planning to do that exactly?" April asked annoyed. "Do you have another power that we don't know about?"
"I'm not in any position to do that." Sheila answered. "We happen to have a dreamwalker in our team though."
"Who exactly?" Makoto asked.
"Um," Amy answered nervously stepping forward, "that would be me. I am that dreamwalker."
Everyone in the room looked at Amy with looks of confusion and surprise. Amy looked at the Sailor Guardians rather than her father, fearing of his reactions.
"So, you are a dreamwalker?" Mandrake asked in a strange tone.
"Jedda did mention that Rick had his mind invaded in his dreams by Cathleen." Flash stated. "So that isn't quite far fetched."
"Why didn't you say something before?" Minako asked.
"If you can help Mamo, then you should do so!" Usagi exclaimed with hope.
"Princess Sheila, why didn't we know about this before?" Flash glanced at his girlfriend.
"Hold on there, Mister High and Mighty!" Hotaru exclaimed as she glanced at Flash. "First off, Sheila isn't the only one who knew about her powers. Kshin and I knew as well as Mamoru. Second, Amy didn't want anyone telling because she was scared of what everyone would think and I can understand to a point."
"We'll talk more about that later." Sheila spoke up. "I'm sure Amy is capable of entering Mamoru's dreamscape."
"And then what?" Michiru asked.
"Whatever it is that is holding Mamoru there might attack Amy on the spot." Haruka added. "She's powerless in there."
"No, I am not!" Amy insisted as she was frustrated with the Outer Guardians not trusting her and the arguments going on in the room. Amy lifted her hands and a force of energy caused a picture on the wall to fall to the floor.
"Evidently, she's not going to be helpless." Rei quipped. "She's definitely not going to be helpless."
"With the less experience I have," Amy spoke up, "I will need at least one person to come with me."
"I'll do it." Usagi stood up. "Whatever it takes to save Mamo."
"Let's do it." Makoto stepped forward.
"Yeah, let's go!" Rei nodded in agreement.
"We must save Mamoru!" Ami declared.
"I'm all for it as well." Minako nodded, agreeing with the others.
Usagi turned to her friends. "Thanks guys. Amy, I know you will help us bring Mamoru back here."
"Let us come too." Haruka spoke up as she, Michiru, Setsuna and Hotaru stepped forward. "We may not know you that well but Mamoru is our future prince and we should see this for ourselves and be sure that you can save him."
Amy nodded nervously as she watched Usagi giving her boyfriend some assurance. "Hear that, Mamo? We are going to get you out of your nightmare and bring you home."
She was a little nervous as the Sailor Guardians surrounded her.
"Good luck to all you." Mandrake spoke up as Amy and the Sailor Guardians prepared to enter Mamoru's dreamscape.
