When the Stars Can't Shine
Chapter One: The Vision


*CRACK!* There was the sound of a whip and a body hitting the ground.

"Don't be foolish!" the voice snapped, it's tone cold, murderous, and hard.

A girl was on her knees in the center of a town square. Her hands were tied behind her back. She had her head lowered, eyes downcast. It was clear that she had been beaten ruffly, but she showed no sign of weakness. There was a gash running down her face and her lip was bleeding. There was a cut on her side and numerous scrapes on her back.

"I will ask again. Will you renounce your other detransformation form?!"

The girl's eyes flashed and she stood up. "I told you already!! I will NOT renounce my other normal form!!" she shouted back, her voice filled with hatred and spite.

A man behind her kicked her in the back, knocking her face forward onto the ground. She lifted her head and spit dirt from her mouth, blood coming with it.

"We have no desire to kill you. But if you do not renounce that form, we will have to. You have violated the senshi code! For the last time Sailor Star Fighter!! Will you renounce the male form of Seiya Kou?!"

Fighter assumed that full of herself grin that she knew always drove the councel crazy. "Never!!" she retorted.

*CRACK* Kakyuu closed her eyes and turned her head away. Healer and Maker turned their heads away aswell. Healer and Maker were obviously beaten aswell. Healer had a black eye and Maker's arm was bleeding. But neither was as beaten as their leader. It looked as if the three had kept their princess from coming to any harm.

Fighter strugled to her knees, which was very difficult because her hands were bound behind her. Her ponytail was undone and her bangs hung in front of her eyes and face straggily.

"Now, RENOUNCE YOUR OTHER FORM!"

Fighter's eyes flashed and seemed to glow a bright bluish color. "What is your leader afraid of?"

*CRACK*

Half of the onlookers nodded in approval while the other half looked horrified. Fighter lay there, wincing, barely able to breathe from pain. The man stood over her and sneered. "So we have a tough girl here eh?"

The ravenhaired girl chuckled painfully.

"Whats so funny?!" he demanded.

Fighter responded. "You never gave me the chance to state my full intention. I intend to take my ally's punishments, and my princess', and also my own."

A voice spoke from behind the man. "Then allow me to induce the proper punishment."

The man bowed, as did the half of the crowd that had nodded at Fighter's beating. A woman with short cropped black hair, much like Saturn's, walked down the stairs of the Kinmoku palace, in a senshi fuku much like that of the earth senshi's, except she had no shoulder pads. Instead of a tiara, she wore a silver circlet, her eyes were a cold, hard, icy blue, and her fuku's body was jet black like her hair. Her bows and sailor collar were both a dark silver and her broach was maroon. Her gloves were black and the elbow pads were silver like her circlet. She wore maroon leggings beneath her boots which were black leather like the starlights, the same cut as the starlights' but only as tall as the earth senshi's boots.

Wincing, Fighter forced her self to sit up, glaring at the woman. "Do your worst you witch!"

The woman raised her hands emotionlessly. "As you wish."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Rei's head shot up from her meditation. She had felt it. A star's shine. It's life energy dropped almost to nothing, barely sustaining itself. Something was wrong. Something was VERY, VERY wrong.

"So, Rei, whats up? Why did you call us all here?"

Rei lowered her head. "One of the Starlights is in major trouble...."

Nine heads shot up. "WHAT?!! THE STARLIGHTS?!"

Rei looked towards the fire. "I felt a senshi's guardian star's life energy drain to almost nothing in about a econd flat. If it wasn't any of you guys, then, the only other star energies I would feel are that of the Starlights.... Whoever it was....is barely hanging onto life....

Usagi was trembling. "W-which one?!"

Rei set her eyes downcast. "I can't...be sure...but...."

The others leaned in.

"The energy I felt seemd to be...the leader's..."

Usagi's gasp was audible. "S-seiya!" the moon child slowly shook her head. "Iie...."

Haruka put a hand on her shoulder. "Koneko-chan...."

"IIE!!!" she ran out of the room.

Haruka ran after her. "Princess!!!!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Usagi sat on a bench, which was a good mile away from Rei's, she was crying, hard.

"Koneko-chan...."

"Oh Haruka!" she wailed and clung to the sky senshi. "I'm...so afraid..." she whimpered into the taller girl's shirt. "A-after...Mamo-cha......Mamoru.....I don't know....if I could bear to lose Seiya too...."

"Hush now Princess, everything will be alright....." Haruka murmered, but her mind was somewhere else. "Fighter-baka...HAS to be alright....."
