[ Even he wasn't sure what exactly they would do in the past. He only knew that they needed to go.
He glanced down to Diana, giving the small kitten a soft smile through the heaving breaths as he strained to focus and pour dwindling resources into the Queen. Both of them--her and Chibiusa--were forces of nature, even in moments of crises. They refused to back down. ]
Without Pluto, you understand the danger better than anyone else here.
[ He raised his head, turning to look down the wing towards the forbidden gates. He could stand on his own, so while he let go of her to do so, his posture was hunched, his knees weak and his head still hung. The Quartet hurried over to close ranks around Chibiusa and himself, ready to help him stand. ]
Knowing that, I have faith that only you can lead the way.
[ He straightened up a bit, brows furrowing as he kept his stare down the corridor. He had to go with them. ]
We do not have time to lose. Chibiusa.
[ A glance to her. Helios nodded his head, and the intensity briefly melted from his expression to something more gentle. It was still certain and firm, but quite warm. ]
Lead the way.
[ They would need to hurry to Pluto's gates, but Helios would follow them. That much, he could still manage. The gates would open at her behest, sealing behind them with a heavy scrape of stone and resounding thud once closed. Once they began, though, the navigation was out of their hands, and it would only be a matter of staying together. With their focus combined as they joined hands, the danger of separation was mitigated by the soft warmth of a barrier around them.
That, however, seemed to be that last of Helios' strength for now. While the Priest went limp and collapsed to his knees, he was still breathing and warm, and there was still color to his face. He would only need rest.
Ceres paused to look around while others aides Helios, commenting that it appeared they were still in Crystal Tokyo. ]
It just wouldn't be a Sailor Moon au without all the scouts tho, so the quartet comes w them
