Once Haruka's energy was up again, Michiru had pointed out the fact that if it was a real emergency, they should use the teleporters instead of a shuttle. While the chance of sickness was greater, it took a fraction of the time.

By the time they arrived at Miranda Castle, Haruka was seriously missing her abilities to teleport without use of modern technology. Maybe one day, when Ito had fully accepted her new role, Haruka's own powers would even out and she might get lucky enough to learn how again.

Her stomach churned as they were greeted by servants. Leaning against a wall over the silver trash can someone had placed before her, she focused on not losing her lunch.

Haku Had been standing still the whole time, As much as he wanted to dash out of here it was imperative he stay. Haku gasped he felt his head burn with a sharp cry The Symbol of Oberon appeared very brightly on his brow and it flared he had another sharp cry as he fell to his knees and his armor reverted to one of casual palace wear. He winced he could see the guards curious of what was happening Haku couldn't speak something was close and it burned with The Power of Uranus for some reason...was it....maybe...Princess Caela?

Though she felt a bit dizzy after the mechanical teleportation, Michiru was not nearly as sick as Haruka seemed to be. For a moment the teal-haired Queen rested a hand on her lover's shoulder while she emptied her stomach, but judging by the 'upset bees nest' feeling in the air, they really didn't have a lot of time to spend on recovering.

"Majesties! I'm so glad you've arrived!" one of the lieutenants of their guard approached with what amounted to 'frenzy' in one of their police force. Never had she seen one of the Guard look so haggard and uncertain! He bowed with a swiftness that might have been considered rude if not for the clear urgency of the situation.

"What is going on? Haruka and I sensed something from the Castle only a few moments before..."

"To be honest, my Queen, we're not sure what is going on. We do know that something--reacted is the best phrase we've come up with--inside the palace, itself. Whatever it was, it sent a beam of light from INSIDE the palace outside...and the palace computers have been going haywire, ever since. Further, it seems Guardian Uranus is missing, and to add icing to this most bitter of cakes, someone else breached Miranda's shielding to gain access to the main throne room via teleportation about half an hour AFTER the Castle's activity. The intruder has been apprehended, and without mishap. In fact, he gave himself up willingly, but has been asking for Her Majesty Ten'oh." and here the man turned toward Haruka, having previously been doing a remarkable job of not staring at her while she recovered.

"Does this man have a name?" Michiru asked before Haruka had a chance to speak. It seemed so much had happened while they had been gone. What had happened to the Castle? And where was Guardian Uranus? 'Perhaps I need to contact Triton...' Michiru thought to herself while she waited for the Lieutenant's response.

"I am unaware of it at this time, Majesty. The Captain is with him, now. They have him in a holding cell and she sent me to contact you, immediately."

Haruka took the water a servant offered her and rinsed her mouth. To say this past week had sucked balls was an understatement. Her granddaughters' lives at risk at every turn, Ito fighting the power of Uranus making it seem to flux between them, and now a breech to the castle.

There was a feeling in the air, one she could not explain. It felt familiar, tickling her past life memories... she didn't like it. She'd done her damnedest to let go of her past, both from the Silver Millennium and its haunting loneliness and her life with her 'family' in America when they turned her out for being a 'dyke.' She'd focused her life on moving forward, racing away from the pain and onto the future. With Michiru, she'd finally found a place that felt like home, where she could be herself and not worry about being kicked to the curb for it. They'd even been able to have children together thanks to Usagi-chan and the powers of the mysterious silver crystal.

Now it felt like her world was just crumbling apart and whatever had penetrated her home had come to do more damage and make her deal with a past she'd just rather forget.

"Keep them there," she said, straightening up, her shoulders square. "I'm going to go find Guardian Uranus."

This was not how she would normally handle this situation. It would be interrogate first, search for the guardian second. She could easily fool herself into believing that the person who was able to infiltrate her castle was not the reason the Guardian was lost. It could just as easily be because Ito was fighting taking on the powers of Uranus.

Her mind refused to acknowledge that she was afraid to face whoever or whatever lay in wait under her guards' watch.

The Guards got there orders. "Come with us Or we will have to use force"

"I will comply I have no reason to fight you your part of the Uranus palace guards so i will comply" The guard cuffed Haku as he took it relaxing on that note soon his armor was removed being in more of his casual outfit that he was in a yellow shirt and black pants and shoes of sorts. His hair was a Brown short ear length as he looked around at the castle relaxing as they brought him in to a room and sat him in a chair.

"You wait here some one will be in here momentarily a guard is outside you try anything you will be detained."

"Understood....You have any water."

The Guard signaled and soon a glass of water was brought in as they un cuffed him and left haku alone. There was a Mirror but it was a looking glass from the other side as he leaned back relaxing in the chair sipping the water.

"I wonder what they use this room for it has to be new i do not remember anything like this when I use to be here..." Haku said to him self.

Meanwhile, Michiru had a strong feeling she knew exactly who had infiltrated the palace and why he'd given himself up so willingly. However, everything else the liutenant described was just as much a mystery. Only Haruka would be able to really get to the bottom of it, either. Frowning softly, she turned toward her lover as the woman straightened her back, only to lick dry lips when the blonde decided to find Guardian Uranus, first, rather than interrogate the 'intruder.'

"Haruka..." yet, it was imperative they find out what happened to the Guardian and where she was...and it was clear Haruka wasn't ready to face whatever was waiting for them in the interrogation room. "Where should we start?" the palace was quite large, after all, and if the Guardian hadn't been found by their palace guard, then she either wasn't there at all, or she was cleverly hidden. If Michiru had access to the Mirror, then she would have been a bit more help, but it seemed this may well be up to Haruka, alone.

However, it seemed they were going to have some luck, because if Haruka focused, she'd easily be able to sense that the Guardian was in the palace, somewhere. Further more, there was a strange fluxing of power coming from deep within the palace. Now that she was a bit more calm and in control of her body, the blonde would probably wonder why she hadn't sensed that power, before. It practically screamed at her to come to it, calling to her as nothing else had. She'd know, instantly, that it was tied to the planet, tied to her very core, and yet it was like nothing she'd have ever sensed before. Except...perhaps when she transformed. Yes, that was the familiarity...it was as if the planet, itself, were reaching out to her from somewhere deep within the palace, drawing her forward...

Michiru didn't try to change her mind, didn't try to make her take the path others would. She'd always been that way. Even when they'd first met.

When Haruka had at first refused to be Sailor Uranus, refused to be Sailor Neptune's partner, Michiru had fought on without her. She wouldn't force this destiny on her no matter how much it hurt to face the monsters of this world alone. It had only been when Sailor Neptune had been in danger, could have died, that Haruka had made herself grow up.

She'd thought she'd been happy alone. Nothing but her and the wind that flew past her in races. She'd taken care of herself so long that she'd thought herself an adult. It wasn't until she'd picked up that henshin wand and fought beside her Michiru that Haruka had realized just how much of a child she'd been. Running away, never wanting to let people too close because she didn't think she could stand being thrown away like garbage again.

Michiru knew her past now, accepted that it wasn't something Haruka wanted to talk about. The American family she'd been born to had rejected her because she didn't like men. They'd called her disgusting, a dyke, and any other insulting slur they could think of. Her own father who she'd always looked up to had kicked her out of his house.

Haruka had never let anyone close to her again until Michiru. Had never planned a future or a family until her.

Now, Haruka felt like that child running away from her past yet again. It was ridiculous, she knew, her family hadn't even given her the satisfaction of rejecting them after she became queen. But she just had this feeling that something lay in this castle she wasn't ready to face yet. Might never be ready to face it.

Taking Michiru's hand, she closed her eyes and tried to focus on the Guardian of the daughters of Uranus. A miniature version of herself or would she look like Ito now?

A flash of light and the two Queens disappeared.

Opening her eyes, Haruka looked around. "Is this... a prayer room?" she asked. It reminded her of the tower room that the Moon Queens had always used. "Are we still in the palace?" she looked around, outside the window lay the large orb that was the planet Uranus.

Back in the brig, Haku had been patient. He got up, finally, after sipping his water; it seemed forever, he needed to stretch as he got up and just lightly paced the room.

"Oi, they said I would be dealt with shortly....it feels like a eternity so far....." looking up he saw a clock. "According to the clock, if that is what they wanna call it, it has been only 10 minutes since my arrival in this room..I hope they hurry up..."



Michiru blinked, completely surprised by the place they appeared in. The room was done in gold, blue, and white...the colors of Uranus. The spire at the center was a crystaline structure and it was glowing, pulsing like a heart-beat.

"It...does appear to be a prayer room..." Michiru whispered, turning on her heel to take in the entire room. Behind them stood the massive double-doors, which stood slightly ajar; something was glowing outside those doors.


"Haruka." Michiru tapped her lover's shoulder before walking toward the doors to open it further. The glow was coming from a golden orb that was resting in the corner of the ante-chamber. At the center of the orb was a familiar figure, clearly unconcious but seemingly unharmed. "I found Guardian Uranus." she announced, moving forward to check on the little sprite.

Crouching in front of tiny golden globe of energy, Michiru frowned. There was nothing about the energy that seemed familiar, and she could only assume it must be from the 'Hatter' that Mel had told them of. Biting her lower lip, Michiru reached out, but before her fingertips touched the orb it popped with a spark of light and was gone, leaving the sprite behind.

Gingerly Michiru picked up the tiny form, cupping it in her hands before gently tapping the Guardian on the forehead. "Guardian Uranus? Are you alright?" she whispered even as she turned back around and headed back into the room.


In the meantime, Haruka would feel the pull of the spire at the center of the room...

After finding the Spirit who was less than helpful with what had happened exactly - well she was a bit shaken up - Haruka had no choice but to go and confront the intruder in her domain.

Leading the way, she and Michiru headed to the interrogation room where the young man seemed none-too-pleased to be left waiting.

Taking a moment to take in his appearance, spiky hair that fell in his face, lean body. Her mind automatically calculating just what his speed would be in a race.

There was a tickling in her mind, memories of her past life wanting to snake their way forward but she tamped them down. Just like she didn't like to dwell on her life before she met Michiru, she didn't like dwelling on the Silver Millennium. The past was the past and that was were it should stay.

Pushing open the door, she kept her face void of emotion. She didn't sit, but stared down at the young man. "Want to explain how you got in here?"

Haku saw the door swing open....no fucking way, it was her. From her eyes she may not be just the princess any more.

"Lady Caela it has been far to long....honestly i don't know how i got here i was talking to a Hatter when he grabbed me teleported me here with out him and i was surrounded by the guards...i didn't fight after i realized where i was and..."

A Sharp silence came from in front of him Caela didn't seem pleased or want to hear this...what was her problem. "Still a hard exterior to crack Caela Relax will you i barely know whats going on."

He sipped the water he had been given before and looked to her. "Look can some one tell me what is going on all I know is I woke up by a guy named Hatter."

A gentle touch to Haku's shoulder would likely bring his gaze up to stare into deep, marine-blue eyes. There was kindness and concern in that gaze, but a soft smile on the coral-pink lips of the Queen that was gazing down at him.

"You have done well, Haku." she offered, hoping to set his heart at ease. "For now, I think it would be best that you rest. There is still a lot to be done, and a lot for US to explain to YOU. However, right now I need to contact the Queen and give her this new information."

Michiru pulled back, then, and motioned for Haku to rise and follow her. She knew he was exhausted, but somehow she was certain he'd find a well of strength to at least leave the holding cells. The problem was, leaving him in the Miranda castle was probably a bad idea. Haruka didn't want anything to do with him--yet--and though it was where he belonged, she had a feeling he'd be more comfortable in a place that was more welcoming.

"I need to return to the Triton Castle..." which was probably an understatement. Seeing the state that Guardian Uranus was left in, there was no telling what might have happened to Guardian Neptune. She needed to check on HER, plus she had a feeling that if Miranda Castle had a prayer room in which Haku had been hidden, that it was a good bet that Mel had been hidden in a similar room in the Triton Castle; that was something else Michiru needed to investigate.

"I think it would be best if you came with me, Haku. Uranus and Neptune are united by my marriage to Haruka, so they're basically the same kingdom. For now we'll put you up in a room at the Triton Castle, until we can figure out what comes next." another problem. If he was supposed to be protecting Ito...well, she doubted her grand daughter was going to like that one bit. After all, Ito had basically denounced her role as Senshi, not that she really had a choice. Something Ito would learn as the enemy continued to attack them.

Thoughts racing, Michiru stepped through the door and gave the guards outside a reassuring look before motioning Haku through. "This man is no longer a prisoner and is welcome within the Kingdoms of Uranus and Neptune. I will be taking him to Triton Castle as my personal guest. See to it that any posessions you confiscated from him are sent over there, immediately."

The guards gave a nod--they knew better than to question their second queen--and Michiru quickly started down the hall and back out of that particular wing of the castle. "The trip to Triton Castle will be a quick one. Once there, I'll show you where you'll be staying and make sure you are fed. I'm afraid I'll have to leave you so I can contact Queen Serenity the Second and take care of some affairs. However, as soon as I have a moment, we will take some time to talk about your possible role in what is to come and...well, what we're going to do with you in the long run." she smiled reassuringly at him, this time, all the while leading him through the palace at an alarming rate.

In but a few minutes they were in the communications and transportation room, within which was a personal teleporter just for the Queens to use. It would take them directly to Triton Castle--or wherever else Michiru or Haruka needed to go--and it was the way Michiru intended to travel.

"Please configure the teleporter for Triton Castle." the Queen told the transport personel. "Haku, wait over there for a moment." she pointed toward the teleporter, which seemed to be some sort of cylindrical room made of glass. Turning from Haku, Michiru approached a communications terminal and promptly sat down to send her lover a message. The tap of a button created a fuzzy, holographic wall around the Queen, thus creating a privacy screen so that Michiru could keep her message to herself and Haruka.

Once in her bubble of privacy, Michiru activated the private message function and set it to record. When Haruka returned to their room, she'd find the message waiting for her in holographic form on their answering machine. Michiru looked pensive, but otherwise entirely professional--a sure sign to Haruka that she was in hot water with her lover.

"Haruka, I'm returning to Triton Castle to check on Guardian Neptune and my people. I'll be taking Haku with me." for a moment she was quiet, clearly thinking about what she wanted to say next. "I feel you treated him very unfairly, but I know you do not wish to hear that, right now. When you are ready to talk, reasonably, you know where to find me." a look of fear crossed through Michiru at that moment and she leaned forward, as if urging Haruka to listen. "Haruka, this enemy of ours...I fear it may bring disaster to our kingdom...that we may be facing the destruction of the new Silver Millennium...and if that's the case then...well...we need all the help we can get. Remember that. I love you, with all my heart. I'll be waiting." she ended the message and sent it off, then deactivated the privacy screen.


"The teleporter is ready, Majesty."

"Very good. Thank you." crossing the room, she approached Haku. "This will likely be an unusual experience for you, Haku, but I promise it is safe. You may feel a moment of vertigo, or a sensation of falling, but then we'll be in the Triton Castle. Sometimes teleportation leaves one feeling ill, that is also normal. Are you ready?"

She waited patiently for Haku to give his okay, then nodded and turned to the strange room. IT was only big enough to fit two--like a small, standing shower. A command from the Communications console caused the door to wish open before them at which point Michiru stepped into the chamber before turning and motioning Haku to join her. Once he was inside, the door closed and lights immediately began to glow around them. There was no other warning, not even sound, before they were engulfed in white light and taken from Miranda Castle.

They reappeared in an identical chamber within the Triton Castle, but though the communications room looked similar, the people insided were definitely different. The uniforms they were were the same, but the colors were inverted. Where the Miranda Castle personel had been wearing dark blue with gold and teal trim, these people were wearing teal uniforms with marine blue and dark blue trim.

"Haku, welcome to the Triton Castle." Michiru had stepped out of the chamber by then and now she turned to check on her companion. Once she was positive he'd be okay and wasn't suffering any terrible side effects from the jump, she turned to one of the workers. "Please have Haku taken to one of my guest rooms. The ones reserved for personal and important friends of our kingdom. He will be staying here for a while and I want him given every amenity possible."

"I need to go take care of some things now, Haku. My staff will see to your every need; don't fear to ask for anything, even if it is just some time to rest. As soon as I am free, I will have a message sent to you." with that the Queen turned and left.


OOC: I'm going to leave things there, Triton. Feel free to do a post for Haku with his reactions to everything, then you can either post for Haku in his room, or whatever. :D

Haku Looked up friendly and smiling to the Queen of Neptune to his eyes anyway. As he was lead and herd Michiru tell the guard he is now free and will be a guest maybe she will be sending Medic to...maybe...but either way it would be nice to be in bed or something which is what she may of had in mind to relax.

"Triton Castle...man i am just going all over the place."

Haku chuckled to him self a bit as they walked faster to the teleporter room just nodding and understanding the situation.

"Right your majesty" Haku stood on the teleporter and looked around the odd contraption a bit then once Michiru removed her self form the privacy part they were about ready to teleport.

"really huh let me see how i feel after...." Haku suddenly felt a fast sensation and instantly knelt down dizzy. "the Teleport....." haku said and slowly got up and walked following Michiru

"Thank you Queen Michiru..i will be waiting." Haku sighed and looked as he was lead to a room. There is where he walked in and the Servant looked to ask

"Do you need anything." "um....Food...i am quite hungry and anything to drink...a few glasses or what ever....just hungry and thirsty....and...i guess that's....it..oh and clean clothes for a shower?"

Haku smiled gratefully and watched the Servant leave as his Symbol burned bright on his brow.

"Medic....is that you i feel..."
