This is a story of a girl, who was a little bit strange .Ok, a lot strange. She always barely scraped through school, and was forever plagued as being the weird kid after she declared that time travellers could exist. Her only pleasures were watching anime and eating cheesecake.
This is her story.
It was a bright sunny afternoon in Tokyo, and it was well past the school finishing time. The students of Sakiru Saoi Junior High had either already left or stayed at school to participate in club activities. A few girls had stayed behind to corner the strange girl. The brown haired pigtailed girl stood in the middle. Herbag was left tossed on the ground, and the bullies had her surrounded. "What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" The black haired girl taunted, her ponytail blowing in the breeze.
The blonde wavy haired girl laughed. "Kagayaki Hikari, you're such a weirdo!".
Hikari clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "All I did was ask if you had seen any time travellers around….." she muttered under her breath.
"What did you say? Speak up, I can't hear you!".
"I said, all I did was ask if you had seen any time travellers around!" Hikari barked.
"Ooh, you getting smart with me, are you? You think you're so brave standing up to the big bad bullies. Well guess what, this is the real world. Time travellers don't exist, and people like you only exist for the cool people to boss around" The blonde girl mocked her.
She clenched her fists even tighter. Oh, god, she hated Caprice Clifford. If she could she would slap her to the ground, but she would get suspended and her friend Arai was there, and Arai was one of the top martial artists. She wouldn't stand a chance. Instead, she hissed "You're wrong. They do exist".
Caprice rolled her eyes. "Ugh, you really are such a space case! Arai, put this bitch in her place".
"My pleasure". Arai Arashi stepped forward and raised her fist. Hikari winced and braced herself for a tough impact when a sudden voice rang out. "Hey, what do you think you're doing?".
Hikari turned and saw and black haired beauty with fierce amber eyes. She wore the red sailor uniform and sported a light green bow in her hair. She breathed a sigh of relief. "Kiyomi!'.
"Hey, you can't just barge in while we're doing something! Who the hell are you anyway?" Caprice demanded.
"It doesn't matter who I am. Leave my friend alone or else" Kiyomi warned with an icy tone.
"And I guess this is the part where I say "Or else what". Any other clichés you want to present?" Caprice scoffed.
Kiyomi ran forward and karate kicked Caprice in the face, knocking her glasses off in the process. She fell to the ground, bruised and defeated. "Ugh, look what you did to my face!".
"Caprice-sama, what should we do?" Arai asked.
"Let's go. I need to wash my face" Caprice said, putting her glasses back on. She slowly rose to her feet and pointed at Hikari and Kiyomi. "I'll be back for both of you, and when that happens you'll be sorry you hurt my precious face". Without another word, she and Arai staggered around the corner and left the school.
Hikari grabbed her bag and began to walk off. "You ok, Hikari-chan?" Kiyomi asked out of concern.
"I'm fine, Kiyomi".
Kiyomi walked up to her and they both exited the school grounds. "Well, that's good to hear, but what did you do?".
Hikari turned around. "I'm sorry – what did I do? All I did was ask if she had seen any time travellers around. Caprice and her minion took it too far" she snapped.
Kiyomi sighed. "Time travellers? My god, Hikari, you really are starting to become a lot like Haruhi Suzumiya. At least you're more open minded then the rest of humanity".
"They might exist somewhere…..look, I don't really want to talk about it, ok?".
For a while, the rest of the walk home was shrouded in an awkward silence. Kiyomi didn't really know what to say, and Hikari just wanted to get home as fast as possible and forget everything.
"Are you over Sora-kun?". Without even thinking, the words slipped from her mouth. She quickly gasped. "Oh no…..Hikari-chan….".
She had stopped in the middle of the footpath up ahead, her eyes widening. The memories of the last few months were coming back to her, the memories she tried to forget. "Sora-chan…why…..". Tears began to fall down her pretty face.
"Hikari-chan, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!" Kiyomi raced up to where her friend was standing and placed a hand on her shoulder.
Hikari quickly rubbed her eyes to get rid of the tears. "I'm fine….Look, I don't want to have this conversation now. I need to go home and read some good shipping fanfics…..". Shrugging off Kiyomi's hand, she bounded down the road towards the railroad crossing.
"Ok, see you tomorrow?" Kiyomi yelled.
My name is Kagayaki Hikari. I'm a 13 year old Japanese middle schooler. I attend Sakiru Saoi Junior High in the Juuban district of Tokyo. I like reading and writing fanfiction, drawing random anime characters and eating cheesecake. Those two you saw before were Caprice Clifford and Arai Arashi, the two popular girls of Sakiru like teasing me because I'm considered "weird" in this world. I'm feel so close to the brink of insanity. Can I die already?
She had finally reached her home. Throwing open her bedroom door, she tossed her school bag onto the bed and sat down at her desk, activating her laptop. Adjusting her earphones, she scrolled through her Youtube playlist and picked a random song to play. Hikari was about to go on a website when she was notified of a new email.
Weird, I don't usually get emails. I should check to see if it's important, though it's probably another spam email.
She opened up her email and clicked on the new message. The subject line was left blank, as well as the sender's name. The email itself read "Kagayaki Hikari, we have very important matters to discuss. Meet me at Ichi-No-Hashi park at 3:30 PM tomorrow. Do not be late".
Sitting back on her desk chair, she pondered what do next. Since she couldn't even tell who sent the message, should she really go meet them? People who usually sent shady emails to young girls were creepy old men or serial killers.
"Oh what the heck. If I get killed, good riddance. I've really got nothing going for me!".
She walked over to her bed, and without even bothering to change clothes, she collapsed and began to fall asleep.
At 3:30 PM the next day, Hikari stood by the fountain in Ichi-No-Hashi, waiting for the sender of the email to show themselves. Not a moment too soon, a golden haired woman walked towards her. She had sunglasses on and a large hat was obscuring most of her face. She wore mostly white clothing, save for her red high heels.
"So, Kagayaki Hikari. There is no time for small talk, so let's get to the heart of the matter".
"I'm sorry but who are you?" Hikari asked.
"Like I said: no time for small talk! We must leave before anything else happens". The golden haired woman grabbed Hikari by the wrist and used her fingernails to rip through the fabric of reality and summon a portal. Both of them went in.
She felt like she was falling. There was nothing around her but bright lights. Was she in the space time continuum? A few metres away from her, the golden haired woman was also falling. "Who the hell are you?" Hikari yelled.
The woman began to transform, and she morphed into a small, fairy sized woman with long silvery hair and a transparent dress. Hikari recognised her immediately. "Guardian Cosmos?!".
Guardian Cosmos twirled her staff and summoned a brooch. It was lavender coloured and had the symbol of the Black Moon in the centre and electric blue gems on the outside. She pressed it into Hikari's hands. "Use this brooch to transform into Sailor Stellar, and right all of the wrong that have been created in this world. To transform, shout 'Stellar Prism Power, Make-Up!'".
"But what is my mission? What am I supposed to do with these powers?" Hikari questioned. Guardian Cosmos was fading away. "You already know what the mission is in your heart. Now go!".
The space time continuum faded, and Hikari found herself falling through the air. She landed in thick bushes next to a lake. "Dang it, why couldn't have I landed in the lake instead?". Quickly standing up and picking the leaves out of her pigtails, she left the park and quickly walked around. She soon spotted a candy store. "Oh boy, I could use some Smile Dip right now". She entered the store and quickly found the packets on the shelves. Walking up to the counter, she placed it down and gave the cashier her money. The lady smiled and handed back her change. "Thank you, and have a nice day!".
Hikari left the store and was about to open the Smile Dip before something clicked in her mind. Hey, didn't that cashier seem a little bit familiar? . Turning around, she looked through the stores glass display windows and saw the cashier. Dark purple hair, shaped in a cat hairstyle, black crystal earrings…Hikari gasped. It was Koan!
This must mean I've landed in 1992, in the Sailor Moon R universe. Funny enough, I don't remember seeing an episode about the Ayakashi Sisters using a candy store to infect people with droids but that was definitely Koan. My mission must be to save the Black Moon and stop the Sailor Soldiers from killing them. After all, they were merely under the influence of Wiseman.
Since this is a candy store, Usagi is bound to show up eventually, and Chibiusa too! I gotta stake out the store until they get here.
It took a mere hour for Usagi and Chibiusa Tsukino to walk along the promenade and spot the candy shop. "Ooh, candy! I hope they sell Sour Straps!" Usagi cried. Both girls ran into the shop to make their purchases. A few minutes later, Chibiusa screamed for help as she was grabbed by Koan. Usagi managed to hide behind one of the shelves and call the other Soldiers for help, before transforming into Sailor Moon. Hikari took this as her cue to transform also. "Stellar Prism Power, Make-Up!".
Sailor Stellar watched the fight unfold before her eyes. Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Mercury had arrived and were now battling Koan. "Shine Aqua Illusion!" Sailor Mercury cried, flinging her water based attack at the woman. Jupiter decided to use her Sparkling Wide Pressure and combine it with Mercury's attack. Unfortunately, both attacks collided with Koan's Dark Fire, and exploded into huge beams of light.
Stellar watched as Sailor Moon pulled out her Cutie Moon Rod. Get ready for it. "Moon Princess Halation!".
Sailor Stellar leapt into the air and pointed her finger towards the beam of moonlight. "Eclipse Ray!". She had managed to divert Moon's attack and had landed on top of a building. Koan looked up, shocked at what had happened. "Who did that?".
The Sailor Soldiers looked up to see who had fired that attack. Their eyes settled on a pigtailed brown haired girl, with aqua and lavender Sailor fuku. She had white feather barrettes in her hair, and light pink bows to hold her hair up. Her boots were coloured electric blue and had the Black Moon symbol on the top of them. A small green and pink charm dangled from the hip line of the costume.
"You're a Sailor Soldier?" Sailor Moon exclaimed.
Sailor Stellar turned to Koan and ordered her to leave the scene. Koan nodded and quickly teleported away. Stellar gracefully ascended down to the ground and began to walk away before Sailor Venus yelled out "Hey! You've got some explaining to do. Why did you divert Sailor Moon's attack?".
"I couldn't let you kill an innocent" Stellar replied coldly.
"Innocent? She's the enemy!" Sailor Mars snapped.
"Do you know why these people are lashing out at you?".
Sailor Mars opened her mouth to answer but stopped because she realised that she didn't know the answer. None of the other Soldiers could answer Stellar either.
"Exactly. You don't know anything about them. To call them enemies without even knowing their motives is incredibly stupid. I would have expected better from the mighty Sailor Soldiers". She summoned a Crystal Sword and set it in front of her face. "I have a mission and I intend to fulfil it. If you get in the way I will be forced to kill you".
"But we're both Sailor Soldiers! Surely we can understand each other?" Sailor Moon cried.
"You think wrong Moon Princess. We aren't the same". Without warning, Sailor Stellar charged towards Sailor Moon and attempted to strike her. Moon noticed just in time and managed to dodge the sword.
"Burning Mandala!"
"Crescent Boomerang!"
"Shine Aqua Illusion!"
"Flower Hurricane!"
Sailor Stellar summoned a star shaped shield to deflect the attacks. She laughed. "That's all you've got? I'm not wasting my time fighting you. I've got better things to do". Stellar then teleported away.
"Where did she go?".
"Who cares, she's gone now. Are you alright Usagi?" Sailor Jupiter asked.
"I am but I need to know why she struck us like that!".
"Usagi, it's pretty obvious she's working with the enemy" Sailor Venus sighed.
"But she had a point….."
"Usagi, ever so naïve, she's a rogue Sailor Soldier! Of course she's evil!" Sailor Mars clacked her tongue and ruffled the girls hair.
"We should get back to Hikawa Shrine to discuss the new developments" Sailor Mercury said. The rest of the Soldiers nodded and de-transformed. Usagi picked up an unconscious Chibiusa and walked away with the others.
