Sailor Dead Star


Sailor Dead Star walked along the darkened streets of Crystal Tokyo. Arriving
from a battle that was well fought, and won. Deciding she wanted to take a short cut to
Crystal Tower, Dead Star walked down a cold, dark alley. From the loss of blood she
became dizzy, and collapsed and fainted after sighting a few dark figures looming
over her.

"Do you think she is a sailor senshi? Who do you think she is?" Neptune asked
while checking the new girls pulse. "She's alive, but must be very weak. She must have
just came from a terrible battle." Neptune added. "I say we wait here until she wakes up,
we don't want to put the queen in any danger." Uranus said in a harsh tone. The other
senshi glared at Uranus then all nodded in agreement.

At that moment Dead Star awoke in fear. She saw before her five sailor soldiers
all staring at her. She stood up quickly, "Who are you?" she asked stuttering. Uranus
walked towards the young girl, causing her to step back a few feet. "The question is
who are you, and what are you doing in Crystal Tokyo?" she asked loudly. Dead Star
stepped back a few feet, "I am Sailor Dead Star, I protect the planet Dead Star, and I will
not harm you unless you pose a threat to me." she stepped back more and a flash of light
appeared at the end of her weapon. "That legendary weapon, its the scythe, I have never
laid my eyes on it ever before." Pluto said while gazing at Dead Star.

Another figure walked in from behind the four outers. She stood directly in front
of Dead Star, and looked into her eyes. Dead Star stepped back into a wall fearing she
was to be harmed. "Stay back, I don't want to be forced to kill you." she said quietly.
The woman that stood in front of her placed her hand on Dead Star's shoulder, "It's alright, we will not harm you. You have no reason to fear us." she said and walked back over to the outers. The beam that came out of Dead Star's weapon disappeared, and she collapsed to the ground. "I'm
sorry, I didn't mean to drop by here, but I have no where else to go. My planet is gone,
and I am to weak to fight anymore." she looked up at the others with tears threatening. "You don't have to be sorry, you are a sailor soldier aren't you?" Uranus asked while helping the young girl off the ground. "Yes I am, I came here in hopes that I could be a great help to any battles you may have. I destroyed my enemy, so you have no worry for them coming here." Dead Star replied. "Uranus don't ask her questions, she's exhausted so she needs her rest" Sailor Sun said looking over at Dead Star.

Hours later Jade was standing on a balcony staring at the moon. Tears were falling
freely from her eyes. "Why do I have to be so alone, I no longer have the strength to do
this." she said to herself while more tears fell from her eyes. She sat at the edge of the
balcony alone. Hugging her knees, with her body racking from her sobs. She could hear
footsteps coming from behind her, and someone's hands wiping away her tears. "Tears do
not suite you." a soft voice said. Jade lifted her head up from her arms and looked up at
the young woman. She slid down off the edge of the balcony to the marble floor. "I'm
sorry, I'm just so alone now." Jade said trying to hide her tears. She felt her knees collapse under her but was caught in the womans arms. Jade leaned into the strangers arms with
her tears now falling as if she was catching up for all the years of holding back her
emotions. She stepped back suddenly. "I'm sorry, I don't even know you, so I shouldn't be
crying in your arms." Jade said looking up to find out who had come to calm her. The girl
was tall, and had short, sandy blonde hair and had deep green eyes. "Oh, Haruka I'm sorry,
I couldn't recognize you in the darkness." "Stop apologizing for everything, it's not your
fault for anything that has happened today. As for you crying, I really don't mind." Haruka
said looking down at the sobbing girl. "You should get some rest, you look like you need
it." Haruka added then left.

That morning Jade walked out of the room she was staying in. She got a short tour
of the Crystal Tower the night before so she headed straight for the training facility. She
walked in quietly and cracked the door open slightly and walked in, closing the door with
a slight click. "I will just stay in here for a while, I hope they won't mind. "Jade said to
herself. She stepped over to the computer and set the gravity level. "300 times normal
gravity, perfect." she whispered to herself and set the computer system to training level
20. "There's no record of anyone fighting like this. I guess no one here is that strong." she
said to herself. She stepped out of the computer room into a larger room. The gravity
level changed rapidly as she walked out. "Here it goes, Dead Star Crystal Power, Make
Up!"

The outers had woken up hours later and heard the sounds of someone fighting in
the training facility. "Lets go check it out." Uranus said opening the door to the computer
room. What they saw made them all gasp at once:
Dead Star placed her hands together facing her enemy. A massive amount of power
emerged from her hands at the youma. It disappeared before her eyes. Several more
fearsome creatures appeared all around her. Her sythe appeared in her hands and a giant
beam of light came out of the end taking the shape of a blade. She jumped in the air as the
youma all charged at her at once. Twirling her sythe around in the air she charged one by
one at all the creatures. Like lightning, the youma had all disappeared, with her standing
on the ground safely on the ground." She's so powerful, and she's fighting in 500 times normal gravity" Neptune said in awe. Dead Star walked into the computer room and stepped in front of the gravity computer. She clicked it up to 800 times normal gravity. Jade walked right past the others to the training settings. She set her training level to 30. "Jade, stop this, your still weak from that battle
you fought, you should be resting." Sun said looking over at Dead Star who was injured
once more from her fighting. "I'm sorry, but I need to, if I don't my mind wonders off to
my battle, and I can't stand seeing all those people die, including my family." she explained and walked back out to the fighting room.

"This is not a good reaction to what has happened to her. She needs to talk to
someone about all this, you know, vent out, if she holds her feelings in this is all she will
do. Jade will wear herself out if she keeps fighting to this potential." Mercury said to the
rest of the senshi in a worried voice. "You know, I visited her last night to see if she was
alright. She was sitting on the balcony huddled up, with tears falling from her eyes. She
doesn't believe that she can survive on her own anymore." Uranus said still watching Dead Star fight:
Dead Star stood before another powerful enemy. Holding her scythe in the air, she
attacked the monster, but was thrown to the ground. She cried in pain as she stood up
again. Before she even had the chance to look up at her enemy, Dead Star was knocked
into a glass wall, shattering it. The youma dissapeared when Dead Star did not stand up.

"Uranus, set the gravity controls back to normal, we need to help her." Neptune
said frantically. The controls were set to normal and all the senshi ran out to Dead Star.
Dead Star was sitting up with her legs on the ground as she was holding herself
up just barely with her hands. She winced in pain as a sharp piece of glass drove into her
leg. Before Dead Star knew it, she was being lifted into Uranus arms and placed back
down on the ground away from the glass.

"Mercury, how bad is she?" Sailor Sun asked looking down at the injured girl
that was only half conscious. "She's is in really bad shape, she needs to rest, and someone
needs to get that glass shard out of her leg." Mercury said pointing down at Dead Star's
leg. Dead Star regained all consciousness after hearing that plan, and sat up. "Hold still
Jade, this will hurt." Mercury said. Uranus kneeled down next to Dead Star, and grabbed
onto the glass shard that was still visible. Dead Star closed her eyes as Uranus pulled the
glass out of her leg. The young girl cried in pain, and fainted. "That must have hurt, now next time she is definitely not going to be training for a while."Saturn said using her healing powers on Dead Star.

Neptune kneeled down and concentrated her powers to detransform Dead Star.
Ribbons flowed around Jades body and in a flash her clothing was returned. "She wears
black, alright, we have a goth for a senshi." Jupiter said and giggled. The rest of the
senshi laughed quietly as Haruka lifted the young girl in her arms and placed her back in
her room.

"What are we going to do about her, we can't just let Jade keep doing this to
herself." Serena said looking over at Jade, who was lying still in a peaceful sleep. The
others all nodded in agreement. "I don't understand it, but I sense a great innocence in
her eyes, I don't believe it but I have this strange feeling that I want to protect her."
Haruka glanced over at Jade as she stirred in her sleep. "Thats normal, who wouldn't, she
is so small and fragile looking, but her looks hide the powers inside her. I am sure she can
take care of her physical self, but I believe she will need our help when it comes to her
emotional state." Ami finished off and glanced at all looks everyone was giving her.
"What?" she asked. "Umm, Ami how about you start speaking in a language some of us
can possibly understand." Serena asked with her head slightly rocked to the side. The
room filled with laughter, but it came to a halt when they all noticed the Jade had awoken
from her sleep.

"Jade, are you feeling better now?" Michiru asked sitting next to young girl. "I
feel fine, may I go back to the training facility now?" she asked eagerly. All the senshi
looked at the girl wide eyed. "Do you even realize that you almost killed yourself in
there?" Haruka asked in disbelief. Jade looked at the others with a stunned look on her
face. The others all nodded at her. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to give you a scare, I just
can't keep my mind off everything, when I fight I can calm my senses, and increase my
power at the same time." she said staring at the floor. A few seconds later she could feel
someone's hand on her shoulder and then it tilted her chin up.

Haruka could feel warm tears on her hand when she tilted the young girls chin up.
Green clashed with silver as Haruka gazed into Jades eyes. Jade stood up quickly, and
walked out on the balcony, wiping away her tears. She sat on the edge of the railing and
looked up at the sky. She looked down at the ground then at the others who were
watching her quietly. "Be back in a while." she said and jumped off the balcony. "What is
her problem, what is she crazy or something?" Mina asked looking down from the
balcony. It was a good twenty feet off the ground but Jade seemed unharmed. She
looked up at everyone then turned on her heel, and walked off.

The cool, night time breeze blew her hair around her body. She breathed in the
fresh scent of an oncoming rainstorm. Jade smiled at the thought of rain. She
remembered the times she would just lay on the ground in the middle of nowhere near a
lake, and just admire the raindrops hitting her face. Her smile faded into a frown, when
she realized she could never go home to her mother, who would yell at her every time she
came into the palace soaking wet. Jade laughed at that thought, and heard raindrops
falling all around her. Thunder and lightning filled the air and caused her to jump a little.
She stood up slowly and began her short walk back to the Crystal Tower.

When Jade arrived, the first person who spotted her was Sailor Sun. She walked
over to her fellow senshi, and smiled. "Its nice to meet someone who is quite a bit more
unique than the rest of us." Sun said standing next to her. Jade yawned in exhaustion than
remembered the fact that she was soaked from the rain. "I suggest you go change,
Serena's mother will have a fit if she see's you like this. Believe me, I have been a victim
of her motherly ways, but its comforting to all of us, I am sure you will meet her soon if
you don't get going." Sun said pointing to the staircase. Jade smiled at Sailor Sun and ran
up the stairs.

Jade ran down the corridors and rounded a corner but ran into someone, causing
herself to fall to the ground. "Oh, I am so sorry I wasn't watching where I was going."
Jade said struggling to stand up. When she managed to look up she gasped. "Queen
Serenity!" she said and covered her mouth quickly. A tall, regal looking woman looked
down at the young girl and smiled warmly. "You must be Jade, correct?" she asked. Jade
nodded at her. Serenity held her hand out to the young girl. Jade looked at Serenity then
realized she was still on the ground. She took Serenitys hand and pulled herself up.
"Young lady, what were you doing out in the rain?" she asked impatiently. Jade looked
up at her and stumbled over her words. "You need to get out of those wet cloths, you
will catch a chill." Serenity said in a motherly tone. Jade nodded at her and walked off to
her room.

"Lets see, what to wear, what to wear?" Jade asked herself while rummaging
through her closet. She pulled out the baggiest pare of black jeans, which were over ten
sizes bigger than she was. Jade smiled to herself when she remembered how all the other
princesses wore dresses. She pulled on her jeans and searched her closet for a shirt. After
a few minutes, she pulled out a small, black shirt that had 'princess' written on the chest
with silver rhinestones. She put the shirt on quickly then put her ankle boots on and ran
out of her bedroom to the gardens where the senshi were at.

When arriving, Jade received a few irritated looks from some of the senshi. She
just smiled and climbed in one of the trees nearby. "I don't see how you can wear those
cloths, black can never suite me." Mina said being rather disgusted at Jades oversized
pants. "Actually Mina, if I had my way with you I could make you look perfect. Just put
a little bit of pink dye in the ends of your hair. Also a little dark brown eyeshadow and
dark red lipstick, and silver glitter would look perfect on you." Jade said swinging from a
tree branch by her legs with her arms crossed. Mina just rolled her eyes. "Lighten up
Mina, I think it's cool how Jade dresses, by the way, are you even wearing a belt with
those pants?" Makoto asked. "Nope..." Jade said as she jumped from her perch in the tree.

Jade smiled at Makoto as she pulled a pentacle out of her pocket. It had a
much smaller chain it hung from and she snapped it around her neck. "Do you practice
witchcraft Jade?" Ami asked now a little curious about the young girl. "Yes I do Ami, and
please don't fear it like others have, it is forbidden for me being wiccan to harm others
with my majic, besides, I would never do such a thing like that to any of you." Jade said
while placing the pentacle under her shirt. Ami smiled at Jade, and went back to reading
her book.

Jade couldn't help noticing how the outers weren't talking much so she just
walked down to the lake and sat down next to the edge. She smiled at her reflection and
laid back on the ground and dozed off.

"How can she be so calm?" Haruka asked. "She is choosing to not show her
depression to any of us. But inside, she is more likely wanting to open up to us, I can see
it in her eyes." Rachell said walking up from behind everyone. "You all remember how I
was when I came here, quiet and unsure, well in her case, she is much more shy than I am.
The others looked over at Rachell. "You have a strange way of being able to describe her,
how can you tell about these things?" Serena asked. "I can tell by looking into those silver
eyes of hers, I can see the pain she is experiencing." Rachell added. The others all looked
at her confused. "You all will understand eventually." Rachell said and walked down to
the lake where Jade was resting.

Jade had fallin asleep not long after she laid down. She was awoken when she felt
someones hand playing with the strands of her hair over her face. Her eyes opened
slightly and she looked up at Rachell. Jade smiled and turned on her side towards Rachell.
"Hello Jade, did you happen to run into Queen Serenity when you were running to your
room?" Rachell asked. "Yes I did, and she did happen to use her motherly ways on me."
Jade said and giggled. Rachell looked down at the young girl,"Why is it that you don't
laugh around the others and actually talk to them, and yet you speak to me easily?"
Rachell asked. Jade looked up at her and smiled again. "I don't know, I just have a
feeling that I can trust you." Jade answered and laid back down on the ground.

"I don't get it, how is it that Rachell has the ability to talk to Jade without her
running off." Haruka asked a little irritated. Michiru looked over at her "Haruka, you
aren't jealous now are you?" Michiru asked sounding hurt. "Of course not." Haruka said
leaning back next to Michiru. "I think its nice how Rachell is getting Jade to open up, and
I think Rachell likes her." Ami said while watching the two girls by the lake.

******************************
"Where is Jade anyway?" Ami asked. "She went out, she said she had to go get
something of somewhat." Rachell informed the others. At that moment Jade walked into
the room with a rather large book in her hand. "Jade, what is that you have there?" Ami
asked. Jade walked over to Ami and opened the pages of the book to reveal her drawings.
"This is my sketchbook, it is my outlet in life, you can understand with some of the things
I draw in there, this is the only thing I was able to bring with me." Jade said turning the
page to a dark colored drawing.

The others all gazed at the drawing. It was a drawing of herself, huddled up and
crying, and around her there were the colors of black, and dark blue. "Jade, can I borrow
this for a while, just to look at all your drawings?" Rachell asked while Ami handed the
book over to her. "Sure, I don't mind, you can drop it off in my room later." Jade replyed
and walked away.
