″Mami Chiba, 17 years old...″ The librarian looked up from the student I.D. and looked over the black haired woman before him. ″What brings you to this section of the library?″ Giving back her card he smirked and nodded his had.
Mami Chiba sighed and took her I.D. back. ″Honestly, I'm not too sure myself.″ Walking past the librarian, she began to look amongst the hundreds of books that were shelved all around her. Taking out a piece of paper from her pocket, she looked it over revealing that it said Silver Crystal, followed by a series of books to do with gems and ores. Crumpling up the paper she stuffed it back in her pocket and began looking through the books.
'I don't know why I'm doing this... it was just some stupid dream anyway. I doubt I'll find anything about this Silver Crystal.' Taking out her first book she stuffed it under her arm and continued her search. 'Then, I have been having that dream a lot. That can't be normal. That girl in them...' she stopped in the middle of an aisle of books and held her hand to her chest. 'I feel I must know her somehow.'
Sitting herself down at a table, she began to flip through each of the books, searching for her desired entry. As time passed, the sunlight that came through the windows began to dim more and more until the librarian came up to her and tapped her shoulder. ″Hmm?″ Mami looked groggily at the librarian who laughed.
″Nice to see such a diligent student, but the library is going to be closing soon. We can check those books out for you if you'd like Ms. Chiba.″ The librarian helped Mami and picked up some of her books.
″That'd be rather nice of you. Thanks.″ Mami sighed and held her head which was beginning to ache. 'Haven't found a thing yet about it. I hope this isn't a waste of my time.'
As she walked on out of the library she looked up to the sun which was swiftly descending. Smiling Mami held the books tightly to her chest and she nodded her head. ″There's gonna be a full moon tonight.″ she said aloud as she walked down the steps of the library. Making it to the street, Mami was hit by some young man who was running by. He hopped around her after catching his balance and quickly sped off into the encroaching darkness. ″Hey! Idiot! Watch where you're going!″ Mami scoffed and pulled back some hair that had fallen into her face. ″Could have at least helped me pick the books up.″ Kneeling down she began to do just that when she heard heavy breathing.
Slowly standing up, she looked around and saw nothing. Looking back to the library she saw the librarian locking up, and a sense of comfort from seeing another person put her mind at ease. Walking down the street, close to the lamplights, Mami continued on her way home. After getting a good distance from the library there was the sound of footsteps pattering loudly behind her. Turning her back to see what this was she saw nothing. With an agitated face, she rolled her eyes and kept moving forward.
Eventually she came across the familiar sight of the runner who had passed her mere moments before. ″What? All out of breath?″ Mami stood by the man's sighed and glared down at him as his shoulders heaved up and down. ″Would it be too much on your part to offer an apology.″
When the man looked up to Mami, she saw his eyes were bulging out, and his skin was exceedingly pale. Her eyes softened and she reached out to touch his shoulders. ″What.. what happened?″
The young man looked back down the street that the two had come, and Mami saw a fog rolling in. Squinting to see through the fog she saw a large lumbering figure walking towards them. It was breathing heavily, and as it got closer Mami saw that it had what appeared to be tentacles for arms.
″What is that thing!″ Mami began to turn about and helped the young man go running. ″Go! Go!″ As she ran she dropped her books and kept pushing the young man on.
There was a loud cry from behind them and Mami felt something wrap around her ankle. With a scream she was ripped away from the young man who tripped and fell on his face. Dangling in the air, Mami was close enough to the creature to make out a feminine figure with a giant gaping mouth with fangs. ″Energy for the master!″ it hissed as Mami began to glow.
The young man watched in horror as the glowing began to descend down into a red jewel that the monster wore about her neck. Before it could enter however it went streaming back into Mami. ″What?″
The monster lowered Mami to her eye level and saw on her forehead a glowing circle with a cross in it. ″What is this?″
'My lord~' A soft voice entered Mami's ears.
″Huh?″ Mami opened her eyes and looked around dazedly.
'My lord, you must summon the power in you! Take the power that is your right and say Earth Power, Make up!'
Mami looked at the monster and with a furious punch, hit it squarely in the nose making it shout in pain and release her. Looking back to the young man, she saw that he had already run off. ″Figures...″
'My lord! While its disoriented! Call your power and say Earth Power Make up!'
″Huh? I... all right.″ Mami held our her hand and concentrated on funneling all her energy into her hand. As she did a shining light began to form there and in an instant it transformed into a black pen that had a circle with a cross on the top of it. Snatching it, Mami held it close to herself and shouted. ″Earth Power, Make up!″
What happened next was a complete surprise to Mami. She became filled with a warm light that levitated her from the ground. Holding herself tightly she could feel somethings being wrapped onto her. When she descended back to the ground she found herself in a completely new outfit. A black sailor suit with a red skirt and what appeared to be a choker with the circle that kept appearing everywhere. ″What, what should I do now?!″ Mami looked up and saw the monster getting back to her feet.
'Use your power, you know it better than anyone my lord.' the voice sounded as if it was fading away, and soon there was nothing but the monster lunging at Mami.
″Fine! Be as vague as possible!″ She shouted as she kept dodging the tentacles. ″Power that I already know?″ As she pondered this something occurred to her, almost an instinctual thought. As a tentacle wrapped around her wrist, Mami smacked it off and jumped away. ″Rose...″ The world around her began to glow with a faint pink aura. ″Petal...″ the scent of said flower began to loom over the entire area. ″Storm!″ As she said this a barrage of red roses came flying from the ether and blasting the monster who cried out in horror as it was mauled to death by roses.
After the barrage ended, Mami watched as the monster turned to dust and blow away. Blinking dumbfound at this she looked to her hands. ″I just killed Cthulhu with flowers...″ She clenched her fists and smirked. ″Well, I suppose that dream with the princess is now the second weirdest thing going on here.″ Walking over to her dropped books she picked them back up and dusted them off. As she did she returned to her regular outfit, the magic pen she had used to transform was safely placed into her pocket. ″Sailor Earth... guess...″ Mami looked up to the moon and sighed. ″Guess I'm gonna be some lone protector of this planet now.″
