Episode 1 A Fatal Battle and A New Mission
"How long does it take to find a women dressed in all black in a place like this!" Vega shrieked evading another blast from the beast she was fighting.
Spica quickly shot one of her light blast at another beast, and threw a Kunai at another trying to sneak up on Polaris. Thousands of these beasts, or 'Glimmers' were attacking the troops. Hundreds of teams, Thousands of Star Senshi, defending their worlds.
Rigel burned away another Glimmer with her lava and aimed her sword at the next to advance on her. Easily disintegrating this one, Rigel turned and noticed a Purple-clad Senshi, much like her, struggling with fighting two Glimmers at once. Rigel stepped in and took the one on the left.
"What's your name?"
"Sailor Shemali."
"Star Bright Senshi?"
"Yes." Shemali Pulled out a pair of short swords, blades made of ice, and charged with Rigel onto a new pair of Glimmers.
Neverland had gotten the farthest from the group and was slowly making her way back. A screech of what seemed like a Dolphin snuck up behind her, and the tell-tale sound of a Glimmer disintegrating resounded. Turning the blonde caught a glimpse of a turquoise fuku. Neverland recognized this girl as Sailor Mira, strategist of the Star Light Senshi. Mira had her dolphin shaped boomerang out and grinned at her.
"It was blade-based. Woulda' taken your head off."
"Thanks."
Almost instantly all the Glimmers stopped attacking and started to spasm. Star Senshi looked to each other in confusion as the Glimmers faded from existence.
"What the hell was that?" Vega crossed her arms and tied her whip around her waist, as she often did when irritated. A boy Star Senshi, who she was pretty sure she recognized as Guardian Guiazaur, lead fighter of the Star Strike Senshi, looked at her and grimaced at her language.
"I guess Sailors Sirius and Shooting Star found Black Hole."
"Don't worry," Spica called out from her position "things will work out." almost immediately, a white light emanated from the highest mountain of the battlefield.
"Planetary Nebula Blast!" Rang out in a harmony of two.
Suddenly, the light vanished.
"Was that it?" Mira asked under her breath
There was another moment of silence as the Star Senshi regrouped into their teams.
"End of Light Wormhole!"
A huge explosion shook the entire battlefield, flames exploded everywhere.
-Opening Theme-
When Spica came to she realized the battlegrounds had been completely blasted away. She felt a hand on the back of her neck, another was under her jaw, trying to take her pulse no doubt. Poor sap never worked with a Techno Organic.
"I'm awake." She heard a squeak of shock as her head hit the ground. Hard.
"Oooooowww..." She lifted a hand and rubbed the back of her head.
"What the hell! SHE HAD NO PULSE!" A voice shrieked out. Turning her now throbbing head to the source she saw a man with spiked black hair and scars on his cheeks. Spica guessed he was one of this dimension's guardians.
"I'm Cybertronian you numbskull. I have no arteries. My pulse is in my spark chamber."
"Uwwwaaaa... Jesus! What hit me?"
"Owww, Yup, THAT's definitely gonna bruise... And please stop saying that Neverland, You know I'm Mormon."
"Ahhhh Ow Ow Ow! Ah Shit...You'd think burns wouldn't do anything to me."
"Fuck! I'm definitely gonna be sore in the morning..." Spica sat up and looked around, instantly spotting her teammates. Quickly scanning the area she held back a gasp.
Hundreds of Star Senshi went into this battle.
Hundreds.
Less than a fraction came out.
A few other guardians of this dimension had come to help search for survivors. Spica noticed Vega eying one of the younger guardians with what looked like a mix between malice and dread. She sighed and remembered this is why Vega shouldn't be anywhere near the Dragonball dimension.
"Vega!" Vega's back straightened as she turned to Spica with a grin of embarrassment.
"Yes, Spica?" Spica gave an intentionally loud sigh before continuing.
"Stopping you is impossible, I know your nature. And I frankly hated how they ended it for them too, but for Celine's sake, DON'T GIVE ANYTHING SPECIFIC AWAY!" Vega grinned and saluted.
"Yes ma'am! OI!" Vega got to her feet and inwardly winced before grabbing Son Gohan's hand.
"I gotta talk to you shrimp. But first, How old are you?"
"Eh? Thirteen, Miss..."
"Perfect." She glared out into nothing dragged the shorter boy away. Spica waited for a moment to gather her strength, and unsteadily got to her feet to call for the Star Senshi to round up. Her eyes dimmed when she saw about thirty eight Senshi get up and make their way toward her. Vega rushing out from wherever she gave spoilers from, and herself, making forty. The Senshi gathered as Spica decided what to do.
"Okay everyone! We need to summon our strength and get back to the Stellar Nursery! I'm sure Sailor Moon Kingdom was recording our progress during the battle. We can play it back and find out what the hell just happened!"
"'What the hell just happened'? Black Hole just got her sorry ass kicked!" A random Star Guardian shouted with glee making a few others cheer along with him.
"Well, If that was true why was there why was there an explosion that killed most of out troops?" A blonde Senshi rolled her eyes at the Guardian.
"My guess is that Black Hole had a secret weapon attack she used last second." A teal Senshi lifted her hands up to her mouth in worry. "We should try to find Sirius and Shooting Star." Spica attempted to get the other Senshi's attention again, as Neverland put a hand on her shoulder. Spica looked to the Tall Senshi and gasped as she lifted Spica onto her shoulders. Spica stood up, careful to not hurt her friend.
"LISTEN! We shouldn't be too reckless! We'll send a small retrieval team to find Sirius and Shooting Star. If dusk hits without a sign of either, than we'll have to assume the worst and head back to the Stellar Nursery without them! As far as we know Black Hole survived this. We have to be ready!" There was silence as the remaining Star Senshi processed this. The leader of the Star Strike Senshi, Guardian Althena raised his hand.
"Permission to speak Ma'am?" Spica was drawn aback by his formality
"G-Granted..."
"I volunteer my team to lead the rescue mission."
"Al- Alright..."
-Scene Change-
"Ma'am?" Spica was still being called Ma'am...hours after her little outburst, She sighed and turned to a deep green colored Star Senshi.
"Yes?"
"Er... Should we hold a service for our fallen teammates?" Spica nodded at the shy Latina.
"What's your name?"
"Sailor Saiph, Intelligence officer of the Wishing Star Senshi. Ma'am."
"Then, Saiph, I was hoping so, But if we do, we should wait until Star Strike comes back."
"Yes Ma'am."
"...By the way, Why is everyone calling me 'Ma'am'?" Saiph looked confused.
"Well, You're the temporary leader Until we find Sirius or Shooting Star right? It's only proper."
"...Wait, What? Who decided that?"
"Well, It's obvious isn't it? The way you handled the situation back there. It'd only make sense that you were the leader right now, Sailor Spica Ma'am." Sailor Saiph went back to her team. Rigel grinned behind Spica and poked her cheek.
"I told you you'd be a hotshot now! I told you!" Polaris grinned and looked to the sky before her grin faded.
"It'll be dusk soon. If Star Strike doesn't come back with Sirius and Shooting Star by then, temporary will be permanent Spica." Polaris fiddled with her staff with her right hand as she reclined back on her left.
"Ma'am!" Spica turned to see another Wishing Star Senshi run toward her, this one in a light yellow outfit.
"Yes?"
"Sailor Zibal Ma'am!" The red haired girl saluted before continuing. "Ma'am, The Star Strike Senshi are back!"
"Are Sirius And Shooting Star with them?" Zibal's slightly winded look faded into a sad expression.
"We should go." Neverland took off running in the direction Zibal came from. The rest of the Star Streak following. A few other teams following Spica as she took off. Soon enough the Star Strike Senshi came into view.
And, as Spica, as well as many others, feared, Sirius and Shooting Star were not with them. Guardian Althena stepped forward and locked eyes with Spica. He sadly shook his head as he saluted Spica.
"We couldn't find them anywhere Ma'am." There was a collective gasp as Star Teams grouped in to discuss what should be done. There was a shrill whistle as all eyes turned toward Spica, who had climbed atop a surviving boulder.
"First thing we have to do is instate the new leader! He or she will decide to do next!" All Senshi stared at her.
"I nominate Sailor Spica!" Sailor Saiph shouted before disappearing in the crowd again. There were murmurs of agreement rumbling throughout the small crowd. Spica nearly fell off her perch as Vega used her as a ballast to climb atop the bolder.
"Any other nominations?" No one spoke up. Vega smirked and grabbed Spica's wrist lifting it into the air.
"Than by majority rule, Spica Spica is the new leader of the Star Senshi. What do we do now Boss Lady?" Spica jumped at the expectant looks of all the remaining Star Senshi
"Well, Like what Sailor Saiph suggested earlier, we should hold a small service for our fallen teammates and later return to the Stellar Nursery."
-Scene Change-
The Stellar Nursery was void of all life when the teams returned. Spica had immediately decided for them all to head for the monitor room to see what the Cyber Star Senshi could come up with. The leader Guardian Adara had dug up a video recording of Sirius and Shooting Star's battle against Black Hole.
"Agena, Can you enhance that final shot?" Spica pointed to Guardian Agena.
"Piece of Cake." There, In the flash of the Planetary Nebula Blast, were eight small strips of black.
"The hell is that?" Rigel elbowed Vega in the gut before shushing her.
"According to these readings, It looks like Black Hole's last attack split her soul into eight fragments which were scattered to different dimensions. Give me a second."Guardian Izar brought up a webbed graph of the dimensions and superimposed a birds eye view of the eight shards of Black Hole's Soul over the dimension the battlefield was located at.
"If I can reverse engineer the trajectory of the shards, we can figure out what dimensions they ended up in." A crystal, no larger than the palm of his hand popped out in front of Izar. A small hologram screen appeared atop the crystal. Scanning the list in front of him he handed the crystal to Spica who read off the coordinates to each dimension, before standing on an unused chair.
"Alright, eight teams are left. Eight shards are running amok in different dimensions. It seems to me, that the next part is obvious. Each team will be assigned a shard and dimension. We all have to work our hardest to not let The shards combine into Black Hole again. Are we clear?" Spica broke the crystal into eight shards and handed them to every team leader. "Rest up today. Our battle wounds should be healed by tomorrow morning. We leave by midnight tomorrow."
"Yes Ma'am." The seven fellow team leaders nodded and lead their teams out of the room.
-Scene Change-
Spica sighed as she packed up her bags. Just like when she had left her home three years ago, all her possessions still fit in the backpack, duffel, and knapsack. Her manga and books read and reread until they were nearly falling apart. Her CD player long since broken, her posters no longer suited her interests and were taken down long ago. She sighed as she walked out to the meeting room, which was the decided leaving point.
Spica smiled as she walked down the halls of the Stellar Nursery, three years worth of memories swarming through her head. She grinned when she noticed the dent in the wall from when Guardian Guiazaur and Sailor Kocab had gotten into a fight and she pile-drived his body into the wall.
"Ma'am! The others are ready, It's time." Sailor Naos Ran up to her and gently tugged the hem of her glove to try and get her there faster.
"Right. Let's roll." Spica was absolutely sure she would never get used to being called 'Ma'am' by anyone.
"Alright everyone, We have our plans and our fail safe maneuvers. Let's show these shards how We Star Senshi GET THINGS DONE!" There was a cheer of confidence as the Star Senshi grouped up to depart. Spica joined her team and in a flash, they were gone.
-Scene Change-
Spica looked around the large apartment. For now this would be their home. Vega dashed down the hall and loudly proclaimed that the room she was in was hers. Spica noticed the newspaper on the table. She pulled a pencil, used nearly to a stump, and shifted through the classifieds to find jobs. Their Pr-created aliases had all graduated from High School early, so they could find good jobs there. Circling a few good ones she smiled at the newspaper before entering the unoccupied room and finally noticed what was outside.
She had a beautiful view of Old Detroit out her window. The girls had apparently wanted to give her a room with a view. She smiled and opened the window, before hopping along the fire escapes until she reached the top of the apartment complex.
Spica stared at the clear view of her old home on the roof of her new home.
"Hey Detroit! I'm Back!" She whispered to the wind.
Sari Sumdac, Sailor Spica, and now Tenshi Hoshino collapsed and started to sob.
