This comes on the heels of each of the girls struggling to reconcile their civilian dreams with their duty.  Ami’s dream of being a doctor, Rei’s of taking over the shrine, Makoto’s of opening a shop, Minako’s of becoming an idol, and the Outers’ of living together as a family.  All things that they fear that they will never have.  Especially Minako, after all the events in Sailor V forced her to make that choice very early.

But nobody knows about a soldier’s duty better than Pluto.  Pluto, who lived in complete solitude for countless centuries to guard a gate that almost nobody knew existed.  Pluto, who died protecting the only two people who ever offered her any kind of companionship.  Pluto, who has never had the luxury of a normal life.

Now she has the family that she never thought she could have.  She has a daughter, a career, friendships.  Pluto got everything she ever wanted.  And now she knows that she is allowed to fight to keep it.  She knows that the future can be changed.  Destiny can be altered.  Time can be rewritten.

[ @deadxscream​! Vita requests your aid! ]

   The city of Neo-Kobe had already been evacuated since there was quite the large scale invasion today and the Geo-Gnocem wasted no time on their wanton thirst of destruction. Buildings, storefronts, stalls – even parts of the monorail were used against Vita, who was doing her best to keep up with all of the different attacks while also making sure that she didn’t take too much damage. The last few days were already grueling enough. The Protector didn’t need to further the wear and tear on her body by taking unnecessary damage. She also had to pay attention to the information that Scala displayed about her body along with what was going on with her enemies.

   Honestly, no one would have wanted this thankless job, but Vita performed her solemn oath nightly to protect the world and its’ citizens from these threats. A few of the foot soldiers were swiftly dealt with and Vita wasn’t too keen yet on unleashing the full scope of her abilities. She needed to conserve her strength as much as humanly possible. 

   The Protector dove into the fray, sending crimson bursts into the crowd. So far, everything was going just like it normally should… that was until Scala’s sensors noticed rather potent magic forming. Not only that, but if Scala could sense it, so could the Gnocem and that spelled doom for whatever it was. A rather intricate door appeared from nowhere, giving Vita pause, but the Gnocem swarmed it as soon as appeared. They wanted to find out where it went, like a collective hivemind. 

   Something in Vita told her to prevent that from happening if at all possible. They couldn’t—they were her problem, not… not the owner of this door. With a scarlet streak, she flew into the crowd, pushing her way through the swarm who were attacking the door. Her shields started to take a massive hit by diving into the mass of enemies so carelessly, but she couldn’t quite ignore that gut instinct. (It was usually right.)

   “Sʜɪᴇʟᴅs ɴᴏᴡ ᴀᴛ 80—75—70—” began Scala in an attempt to warn Vita, but she just told the system to shut up. The Protector needed to concentrate on working through the overwhelming amount of enemies that were starting to swallow her up so that she could reach the door. A red gloved hand with her signature verdant lens poked through the swarm, with her appearing as if she was about to win this struggle after all! However, just as she had that thought, the entire crowd was swallowed up into this massive void before the doors snapped shut.

   ”—Where am I going?!” All Vita could see was an endless expanse of black while they traversed. The Gnocem tried to attack her on the way, a few getting some solid hits on her, but that was until she and her enemies ended up at the other end of the door…into yet another strange dimension, only this one looked like nothing but clouds. Vita couldn’t put too much thought on that, unfortunately, since she had to fly up and try to avoid the laser hits and the halberd swipes.

   That turned out to be the right move since she saw a possible ally also in this strange dimension. Oh, thank God…

She could feel it in the air, though -- something was about to happen. It was a small feeling at first, unease in her stomach as she felt the air around her get ... warm? Yes, a strange warmth for a place that was usually so cold. A kind of warmth that came from the sinews of the universe being ripped open, a void opening it's large gnawing mouth and swallowing something whole.

The Door creaked, a faint glow seeming to seep through its cracks. A rumble was felt under her heels, the whispers of the dead growing more shrill. Her gloved fingers wrapped tightly around her staff, her body tense as she waited to see what the universe was about to regurgitate to her front step, her gaze surveying the expanse before her.

In the distance, a vortex appeared, a bright shining orange light contained within. Three blinks, and suddenly a chaotic chase materialized. Creatures from a distant planet and -- was that a human? She doesn't really have the luxury to register all that is happening, and when the human seems to turn to her and yell out, she figures she'll just have to wait until part of her new problem was eradicated.

"All who dare enter here are to be executed." She lunges forward, magic swirling around her as she prepares to unleash a deadly attack on the numerous armored beings that were clawing their way towards the human fighter. "I'll have my questions for you later."
