Hey everybody! Welcome to the first chapter of Sailor Sun Crystal!
I'm so excited because I love Sailor Moon and I thought what would happen if there was a Sailor Sun too? Like some random girl in Tokyo has the power of a sailor scout. What if her kingdom was destroyed like how the moon kingdom was? So let the journey begin!
Act 1: Sailor Sun.
A kingdom shone brightly in the new morning sun. It was golden and sparkling like a shiny diamond. This was the kingdom of the sun, ruled by the beautiful Queen Celestial. The queen looked at her kingdom, beaming in pride.
"I hold in my right hand the celestial golden crystal!" she said, showing the golden crystal.
"And in my left the sun rod of which our ancient ancestors held." A long rod shaped like the sun twinkled in the light.
"For years we've inhabited this kingdom. Lest we not forget the kindness of our sister kingdom, ruled by my good friend Queen Serenity of the moon, that we are thriving today. Now as my reign ends a new heir to my throne has been born." The queen gestured a tiny girl with auburn hair up to the balcony. She wore a white dress with ruffles and a golden tiara. On her forehead shone the mark of the sun. "Ladies and gentlemen, the new ruler and my daughter, Princess Celestial shall inherit my throne." The princess smiled and waved to the audience.
"Huh what?" said 14 year old Celeste Hinata. She stretched out of her bed and walked to her mirror. "Stupid dreams, they've been happening all week now! Why do I keep having the same one? Is it a sign?" she thought, aloud. She looked at herself in the mirror. She was nothing impressive: long auburn hair, hazel eyes, tanned complexion. She smiled to herself and laughed. Well dream or no dream I still got to get to school. She thought. And speaking of school… "OH NO! I'm going to be late for school!" Swiftly, she began to put on her brown uniform and slipped on her brown sandals. "No time at all! Oh why couldn't have I been born an early riser?" She quickly brushed her teeth and raced down the stairs to the kitchen where her father, Haru, sat eating his breakfast. "Late again, that's the fifth time this week!" he said, eyeing his daughter shoveling down spoonfuls of oatmeal. "I know and I promise that I'll get down earlier next time!" She grabbed her backpack and kissed her dad. "Bye Daddy! See you after school." Her dad smiled as she ran out the door. Ever since her mother died, Celeste had a hard time being on time. Still those girls always cease to amaze me. He thought. He then looked at the kitchen table and groaned. "She forgot her lunch again." He grumbled.
Celeste raced down the streets of Juban and proceeded to District 54 Day School. "I hope I won't have to stand in the hallway again. Please oh please no! Aargh!" Celeste found herself tripping over a large object. "Hey what's the big idea?!" She shouted. She looked down and found a brown cat with maple eyes. She looked at her, curiously. "Oh hey where did you come from kitty?" She looked at her fur for any scratch marks, but found something interesting instead: a sun mark. "Woah what is this, a bald spot? Oh shoot I almost forgot about school." With that Celeste ran as fast as her feet could carry her. The cat watched her go.
"So she's the one I'm looking for? Well this just got interesting!" The cat said.
Deep in the darkness of space, an enemy stirs. Suddenly, a flash of light shines in the darkness, a kingdom shrouded emerges.
"Ah yes. The celestial golden crystal, it still shines brightly on planet earth." says an eerie voice. A figure appears before the voice. His red hair tied in a long ponytail. He wore a black uniform. "My queen, lady of darkness, let I, Garnetite, retrieve this crystal for you." "Yes bring me the crystal and my true form shall return!" The Queen hisses. "As you wish, Queen Leiko, I shall fetch it at once." Garnetite disappeared in a flash of red light. "Soon the sun kingdom will be mine for the taking." Queen Leiko cackled.
"I am going to be in big trouble." Celeste mumbled as she looked at her grade for her last algebra test. "My father, Haru Hinata, world-renowned scientist, is going to kill me for getting a fifty-seven." She slumped over her desk and sighed. "That's it. I'm not going home ever again! I'll live out my life as a failure and never get married or have children of my own!" Celeste started to sob really loudly. "Sheesh Celeste it's not the end of the world." said her friend Suki Yami. "You don't know how it feels!" Celeste sobbed. Suki rolled her eyes as she bit into her rice ball. "Why don't you go to study hall like the rest of us and stop reading manga books in the library?" she suggested. Celeste stopped crying to roll her eyes. "Please I have better things to do than go to some stupid study session. I'm a eighth grade girl who loves manga, shopping, eating, and sleeping. Besides…." Her voice trailed off. She turned around to see someone out of the corner of her eye. "You!" she shouted, loudly. Suki screamed as Celeste jumped on top of her, looking out the window. "You sneaky cat, did you follow me here?" The brown cat only meowed in response. It jumped off the ledge it was sitting off and landed on the ground. I could be wrong but I think it wants me to follow it? She thought. "Um…Celeste could you please get off of me?" A crushed Suki requested. Someone's been eating too many sweets. She thought.
"Okay cat I'm outside. Where'd you go?" Celeste yelled as she walked across the schoolyard. "Finally you've made it out here. I was starting to get worried." Celeste stopped walking and looked down. "Did you just talk?" Celeste asked, nervously. The brown cat nodded. "Yes and for the record, this "bald spot" is a royal mark, thank you very much." Celeste screamed as she hit the ground, the cat looking at her, curiously. "My name is Lianne and we haven't much time before the Negaverse arrives." The cat said. "What's the Negaverse? And what do I have to do with them?" Celeste asked. Lianne smiled. "You're a very special girl, Celeste. You've been chosen for great things. One of them is being a Sailor Scout." With that, Lianne's sun mark glowed brightly. Celeste covered her eyes. A brooch shaped like a sun appeared in her hands. "If you don't believe me, don't accept this gift." Lianne then smiled. "But if you do, shout Sun Prism Power Make Up." Celeste looked at the brooch in her hands. Maybe becoming a sailor scout has something to do with my dreams. If that's true…She thought. She raised the brooch high. "Sun Prism Power Make Up!" she yelled. With a flash of golden light, Celeste's outfit had changed.
Her uniform was yellow with a orange bow. Her hair had changed from auburn to oragne and was tied up in two bun like ponytails. She had white gloves and high heeled boots. On her hand rested a golden tiara with a sun-shaped jewel in the middle. Her brooch was on her chest where another orange bow laid.
"HEY WHAT GIVES? I DIDN"T WANT A COSTUME CHANGE!" Celeste shouted. Lianne rubbed her mark. "Celeste this is only temporarily. You are now the sailor of truth and light, Sailor Sun!" "Wow I look like Sailor V! So Lianne what know? Do I become a super heroine or something?" Lianne was about to answer her question when an explosion came from the school building. "What was that? Sounds like trouble." Lianne said. "Well then let's go and see what's up!" Celeste said, excitedly. Before Lianne could react, Celeste took off running. A sweat mark appeared on her forehead. "This girl is going to give me gray hairs before I age." She sighed.
Garnetite chuckled as his monster rampaged on the school. "Don't quit until you find the one that bears the crystal!" He shouted at it. "Yessir boss, come on kiddies give me your energy!" She squealed loudly. Garnetite watched as the students were screaming and running from the monster. This'll be easier than I thought. When I present the crystal to Queen Leiko, she'll make me the head general. he thought. "Hold it right there Nega-trash!" Garnetite turned to see a shadowy figure in the doorway. "And who might you be?" He asked. The figure smiled and struck a pose. "I am Sailor Sun, champion of truth and light! In the name of the sun, I shall punish you!"
Garnetite looked at the teenager with a mixture of confusion and pure disgust. "So your one of those Sailor Scouts I've heard about. It is a great honor to finally have met one." He said, calmly. Celeste started to blush. "Really well I'm going to make sure your monster doesn't make rubble out of this school." Garnetite scowled. "Take care of this Sailor brat for me Gero-Gero!" He commanded his abomination. "Getting right on it boss, Gero. Let's play leap frog Sailor brat, Gero." it said. It shot out a long pink tongue out of its mouth and it wrapped around Celeste's body. "Ahhh! Get this disgusting tongue off of me. Lianne I need help!" She shouted. "Hold on Sailor Sun!" Lianne jumped on the creature's face. "Naughty kitty, no pets are allowed to play my game, Gero!" The monster threw Lianne against the wall, knocking her out cold. "Lianne are you all right? Answer me!" Celeste screamed as the tongue wrapped tighter on her body. "Enjoy your last minutes of life, Sailor brat!" Garnetite sneered. Celeste started to see spots before her eyes. So this is how I'm going to end. I guess it was bound to happen one day. She thought. Suddenly, there was a flash of blue light and everything went cold. "What the-" Garnetite began to say before being interrupted by another blue light. "I'm frrreezing, Gero!" said the monster, releasing her grip on Celeste. Celeste opened her eyes to see another shining figure on top of the stairs.
She wore a light blue fuku with blue bows. She wore white gloves and boots. Her white hair was pulled back in a blue ribbon. Her pale skin and icy blue eyes made her look like a ghost.
"I shall not bear to look upon a fellow scout in pain. From the outer reach parts of the galaxy, guardian of the great moon Europa, I am Sailor Europa!" Her blue eyes looked at Garnetite with pure hatred. "How dare you hurt my teammate? Europa Ice Blast!" A shaft of blue light appeared in her hand as she tossed it at the monster. "She froze my tongue! Pfft can't speak, Gero!" Celeste looked at the mysterious scout in awe. "Wow thanks Sailor Europa! You're a real life saver!" Sailor Europa glanced at her. "No need for thanks, your actions is thanks enough. Now if you won't mind by finishing off this monster." Celeste blinked. "Oh yeah but how do I beat it?" Lianne finally woke up and walked over to Celeste. "Use your tiara and shouted Sun Tiara Smash!" She said. "My tiara, you mean like this?" Celeste took off her tiara. She then gave a quick yelp. It turned into a small glowing disk in her hand. "Cool! Sun Tiara Smash!" She threw the tiara. It spun through the air and collided with the monster. It burst into dust and scattered on the ground. Garnetitie looked flabbergasted. "Ugh I'll get energy from this planet next time. Until then Sailor brats!" He snapped his fingers and disappeared in a flash of red light.
Celeste took a breather as she sat on the ground. "You saved the day Sailor Sun! Why are you so upset?" Lianne asked. Celeste looked at Lianne with tears in her eyes. "I still have to go home and confess to daddy why I was home so late! Not to mention my bad test grade." Lianne sighed, but comforted the crying girl. Celeste sniffled and looked into the night sky. "Thanks for turning me into Sailor Sun. Maybe being a superhero is my purpose in life. Perhaps one day I'll finally meet this Sailor Europa's true form." Lianne smiled. For a brownie head, she's not half bad. I guess she'll form a team of her own and they'll save this world from ruins. She thought. Celeste stood up. "Now then why don't we got grab a quick bite to eat. I didn't exactly bring a lunch today and I'm starving!" Celeste started to walk down the road. Lianne rolled her eyes. I hope my friend, Luna, is having better progress than I am. Celeste and Lianne walked down the road together not knowing that a brand new adventure had only just begun.
End of Act 1.
Well what do you think? Not bad for the first chapter. Until next time, Act 2: Sailor Europa. The sunlight is the message of hope!
