Thank you to the person who reviewed the first chapter! I know this story seems kind of clichéd but I will work hard to ensure that it is not typical!
Act 2- Song of healing.
"Wah! I don't want to go to school!" Hikaru groaned as she hid in her room.
A young woman with silver hair came in. Her bright red eyes were laced with mischief as she played with her braid. The small bun that held the braid seemed to bounce as she did.
"Hikaru-chan~!" She cooed darkly.
"Go away Kirei!" She called burying herself in to her bed.
Kirei rolled her eyes and said, "Wake up or else I'll make you eat some of Bara's tofu."
"No!" The raven-haired girl cried jumping out of her bed.
The copper haired girl entered the room quickly. "Can I force her to eat it?" She asked excitedly.
"I'm up you psycho-paths!" Hikaru cried backing towards the nearest window.
"Meow…" Sol called waking to the scene.
"EH? When did you get a cat?" Bara asked with a smile at the cat.
"I found her a few days ago." Hikaru replied walking towards Sol and petting her head. "She's cute right?"
"She is!" Kirei and Bara cooed petting her as well.
"Pets are allowed right?" Bara asked.
"I asked Shizuka-san already and she said it was fine as long as we keep everything clean and Sol in the apartment." Hikaru replied.
"Helios!" The king of Earth called entering the temple of Elysian.
The white haired priest looked up from his daily prayer. "Yes my king?" He replied monotonously.
"You are needed in the Crystal Palace." Endymion said.
"Why would that be?" He asked not bothering to actually look at the king.
"There is an enemy that we don't know about and we feel that since you are very close to Lady Serenity that you should come as well." He replied feeling a bit cold at the priest.
Helios stood up and turned to the king. "As you wish." He replied.
"Are you well?" The king asked slightly worried by his priest.
"I… am." He replied quietly.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, my king."
Hikaru sat at the breakfast table enjoying her bacon while Bara cried about the cute animals that had died in order for her to eat it. The three sisters laughed as the television played some random comedian. Sol watched them with a smile. It was strange to watch them be so close. Her master and his brothers were never like this.
"Sol, are you hungry?" Hikaru asked.
"Meow!" Sol replied with a smile.
Hikaru smiled and got up and headed towards the cabinets. She began to search around for a bowl and found some tuna. The teenager began to pour the canned tuna into the bowl and stirring it a bit. She walked back and put it in front of the cat.
"Eat up!" She said petting her gently.
"Ne, I heard from a couple of students from the R.A. that Kodaku Koukuen was seen with an underclassman from your school." Kirei began with a grin. "I also heard a certain pig was harassing you."
"I am going to kill Misako for telling you." Hikaru growled while chewing on her food.
"Well you can't considering that you have work today and Motoki-jii-san wanted to know if you could sing at the party he's hosting this weekend." Bara said eating a carrot.
"I guess if I have too." Hikaru sighed while plotting revenge on her best friend.
"By the way the party is for the royal academy." Kirei said before quickly scurrying away from the table to her room.
Bara looked at Hikaru before running off as well.
Hikaru sat quietly with her eyes wide. Sol watched with great intensity to see how she would react. She cried loudly, "Why does the world hate me so much this week?!" She banged her head onto her forearm and let out a loud angry cry of gibberish before turning to look to Sol. "Any more bad news?" she asked with a sigh.
Sol simply nodded no. "Still be cautious." The cat whispered before returning to her meal. Something was wrong. I think that we're playing into their hands… Aura, Dante, Apolla, Serenity the first, Orion… It began with them. Will it end here…?
"You okay?" Hikaru asked, noticing the spaced out look on the cat's face.
Sol nodded and replied, "I am fine. You go get ready for school."
Hikaru sighed and got from the table as well to go change to her uniform. She felt worried about her new family. Yes, she thought of Sol as family even if it had been only a few days. "I wonder what's bothering her." She mumbled.
Hikaru walked out ready for school. She grabbed her bag and called out, "I'm off for school!"
"BYE!" the two older girls called from their rooms. Hikaru rolled her eyes and waved goodbye to the cat who merely nodded in response. The teenage girl ran towards the elevator and thought for a bit of how she would confront her best friend for giving her sisters information about what had happened a few days ago.
"Hikaru~!" Misako sang as she saw the raven haired girl.
"Misako! I am going to kill you!" she shouted.
"Why~?" the girl sang with devious smile.
"You evil bitch…" Hikaru muttered upon realizing that the girl had probably planned on this and was probably already plotting something else.
"I didn't realize that Hikaru-san could use such vocabulary." Another voice said with a chuckle. Hikaru turned to look at who the voice belonged too. Of course, it was none other than Koukuen Kodaku behind her.
"Well…" she began. "I do!" Hikaru looked at Misako who had a huge grin on her face. The girl simply sighed and asked, "May I inquire why Kodaku-sempai is with us this morning?"
"Ah! Misako-san informed me that you two had a short day today and since I have no classes I thought I would accompany you two to and from school. Misako-san was very kind to agree to my idea." Koukuen said with a smile. "And please, call me Koukuen. We are friends, right?"
"Uh… we're acquaintances…" she mumbled.
"I see. Perhaps in a few weeks or so you'll call me a friend." He replied with his smooth voice.
Hikaru gave a meek nod.
Serenity, Chibi-Usa, and Endymion sat in a circular table with the senshi and Helios. The lunar queen looked at her soldiers and then at her daughter and husband.
"Does anyone know what could the reason behind new senshi?" she asked.
Everyone nodded 'no' except for Helios who looked deep in thought. He then said, "Sailor Sun… I have not seen her in many years…"
"Helios…?" the king asked.
"I… I need some air." The young priest said getting up and leaving quickly.
"Helios!" Chibi-Usa called running after him. The pink haired princess found the priest pacing back and forth with a petrified look. He seemed as if though he had seen a ghost. She called softly, "Helios."
"My maiden…" he whispered when he realized she was looking at him. "I am sorry."
"What's wrong Helios…?" she asked with concern laced in her voice. She could tell that something was bothering the man she loved. "You know that you can tell me."
"Maiden…" he choked out. "There is much I cannot explain until I am certain." He sat down on the floor. "I fear that things have become complicated."
"If you don't want to talk about it then don't." the princess sighed, taking a seat next to her lover. "I don't mind that you are not comfortable with talking about what's bothering you."
Helios smiled as she laid her head on his shoulder. He gently took her hand in his and laid his head atop of hers. "You are a good woman, my maiden." He whispered.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The loud shriek ripped through Crystal Tokyo. Hikaru, Misako, and Koukuen stopped walking when the shriek hit their ears.
"Oh great…" Hikaru thought running off.
Koukuen took off in the opposite direction. Misako moved her head in both directions unsure of what to do. From the view she could see the palace radiating in color meaning that the Senshi would also make their appearance.
"Oh boy." She sighed sitting on the bench behind her. "Hikaru is gonna save the day and Kodaku… who knows what he's doing."
In the center of the Crystal Lake near the palace a large rabbit like monster towered over many terrified people. Its black ears twitched while a snarl appeared on its contorted mouth.
"Do you like bunnies…" it asked in an overly sweet voice. The people who had the misfortune of being there could only quake in terror unsure of how to respond.
"Oh god. You are so not cute." A voice said causing the rabbit monster to look away from could have been its prey.
"Do you like bunnies…" it asked again.
Sailor Sun was mildly unimpressed at the lack of creativity this evil group had. "No." she deadpanned. "I don't like bunnies."
The creature made a loud noise that caused everyone to cringe. "YOU HAVE TO LIKE BUNNIES!" it commanded.
"Stop right there!" another female voice called.
Sailor Sun looked up surprised to see none other than the Princess ready for battle. She then looked down and was surprised to see a woman with tan skin, brown hair and familiar eyes. Sailor realized that it had to be Sol since she had the same mark.
"Sailor Sun!" the woman cried in relief.
"Sol!" the girl returned with a smile.
"Look out!" Sol cried when the rabbit extended its hand towards the golden sailor soldier. The girl quickly jumped out of its reach, which aloud the Shape shifter to release a sigh of relief.
She and Sailor Sun gave each other looks of gratitude. Sol looked at the monster and said, "Sailor Sun! You have to use your healing powers!"
"I don't have any!" she replied while dodging the Rabbit's paws.
"You do!" She cried. "The sun is not only light it is also healing! You have to sing!"
"WHAT DO I SING?" Sun yelled back while trying to find a way to avoid the thing.
Neo Sailor Moon took the moment to attack it with her signature attack which had little to no effect on the beast.
"Hahaha!" A loud condescending voice filled the air. "Silly Princess… this is not something that you can defeat with your sugary pathetic attacks."
Neo Sailor moon looked that the others with a worried face. That had been her most powerful attack, yet it had no effect on the monstrosity at all.
Within seconds of that realization the monster let out a loud screech of pain causing everyone to cringe. Within moments the monster was chained by water.
"Well, well, well… the priest?" The voice said with mild amusement. "How is the lord of water?"
"Go burn!" Another male voice said. Many people recognized this to be the voice of Helios.
"The high priest?" almost all the sailor soldiers cried in shock.
Helios made himself visible by being lifted by a whirlwind of water. He looked to the sky and barked out, "Show yourself, Alexandrite."
A man appeared with copper hair and bright yellow eyes. He wore robes that made him seem like a samurai. His face had a huge grin on it. "My, my. It seems you've grown quite well since our last encounter…" He stated with a cruel grin.
"Cut to the chase." He sneered.
"Oh fine… Meridian is trying to find the children of the universe and kill them. I thought it was obvious." Alexandrite replied. "We've been over this quite a few times."
"You do realize that you'll never find them!" He shouted.
"Oh but I have… I almost got rid of them, too…"
Helios' eyes widened upon his words. "You bastard!" He cried flinging a shard of ice at the man.
Sol looked to Sailor Sun. "Sailor Sun! Use the healing power!" she cried.
"What healing power?" She questioned.
"You know it!" She woman cried looking at the sight. "Use before the priest loses control of his power!"
Sailor Sun gulped and looked the Sailor Soldiers who were too numb too move, she took a step towards them and whispered to herself, "Please come to me naturally." She jumped towards the giant monstrous rabbit and let her instincts take over. She put her hand to her pin and leapt towards the distracted men.
"hana wa kiramekumahou no hanatoki wo modosekako ni modosekizu wo iyaseunmei no kawasakanoboreyomigaeraserokako no yume.." she heard a strange song in her head.
"Sun… sing the song of healing…." She could hear.
Sailor Sun closed her eyes as she made contact with the monster. She softly sang the words as she had heard them in her head causing a golden glow to surround both her and the bunny.
Alexandrite took a sharp breath. "What!" He cried as he watched his monstrosity become a little child again.
"My, my…" Another voice presented itself. This time it came from a man completely covered in black. "It seems like you didn't count on that."
"What just happened?" Neo Sailor Moon asked finally processing the scene. She looked to the hooded figure and yelled, "What is going on?"
"Ask your boyfriend." He replied leaving as quickly as he came.
"You… I will not finish until you are dead Apollo!" Alexandrite cried disappearing as well.
Sailor Sun sat on the ground with a little girl in her hands. The girl had four buns with pigtails sticking out and crescent mark on her forehead. "Princess Celestia?" she stated in shock.
"My little sister!" Neo Sailor Moon cried heading towards them. She looked the golden suited soldier who held her gently. "You saved my sister…"
"I… did?" she whispered trying to believe it. "Um… Do you want to hold her?" She looked down at the nine year old.
"Please… stay close to her." Neo Sailor moon cried. "I didn't even know she was out."
Helios walked to them. His face was laced with guilt and sorrow as he looked at them and said, "We should all go back to the palace. Sailor Sun… your healing ability will be needed."
Neo Sailor Moon nodded. What else could she do? She had failed the only sister she had left.
Sailor Sun knew that look on the princess's face. "She won't be mad." She stated. "You didn't mean for this to happen.
The king and queen stared in terror when they saw who had been the victim. "Kousagi!" the queen cried without even thinking. She ran up to Sailor Sun and looked at the sleeping girl in her arms. Sol—who had already reverted into her cat forms—looked on from Sailor Sun's shoulder.
"What happened?" the king asked, petrified at the sight.
"I can explain." Sol said. "But first, I think it is best to take the young princess to get some medical attention."
Sailor Mercury quickly took the girl and then looked at Sailor Sun. "Why is she here?" she asked curiously.
"Sailor Sun has a healing power that in known to help out during rough times." Helios replied. "She is here to help."
"How do you know that?" Sailor Sun asked curiously. He seemed to know a lot for someone who she had never met before.
"I am quite familiar with the kingdom of the sun and its abilities. My brother used to be its high priest." He replied quietly. "That is why I knew who that man was. I think it is time that I explain this all to you as well."
UGH I CANNOT WRITE BATTLE SCENES I AM SO SORRY IF YOU WERE EXPECTING COOL STUFF! The song that was used was the healing incantation from tangled... It suited her powers well. As for the healing powers, the sun is often associated with Apollo who is the god of healing and music. I thought It would be cool to reference that.
Thank you for reading though~ I will see you all next Act!
