A/N: Hey again. Just as bad as the first
part, but anyways, tell me what you think. R&R!
The Epic of Starburst- Part Two- Destiny Revealed
Darkness, that's all I saw. I heard some noises, that slowly became
clearer. "Wow, I can't believe she's here." "Do you think she'll be alright?"
"I'm more concerned about how she will react to what we have to say." I opened
my eyes in time to see who the last speaker was, it was a girl, actually a
woman, with long, dark green hair and dark pink eyes. She was older than the
rest of the people there. There was a girl with short blue hair, a tall girl
that looked quite intimidating, a pretty girl with black hair that looked as
though she could be a movie star and a girl with blond hair that looked
concerned. She must have been the one to ask if I was going to be alright.
Then there was the girl with long blond hair in a funny looking hair style
with blue eyes. She was the one that had spoken to me when I arrived. But
arrived where?
"Where am I?" The group looked at me startled, they apparently
hadn't noticed that I had woken up. "Um, your at... uh, introductions first!"
the black haired girl said. "I'm Rei, this is Trista, Ami, Lita, Mina and
Serena," Rei said, pointing to each of them in turn. "I'm, uh, well I guess
now I'm Euclea. But where am I?" I repeated, determined to get an answer. "You
are at the Hikawa Shrine in Tokyo," Trista said, she was the oldest one.
"Tokyo? As in Tokyo, Japan? But how come I understand what you are saying? And
how do you understand English?" I was so confused.
Serena laughed. "You aren't speaking English, you're speaking
Japanese." she explained. "When you came here, you got the knowledge of how to
speak and understand Japanese from us, as well as gaining some of our power,
which was necessary so that you would be able to come here." Trista said. She
seemed to be the one that was in charge of things around here. The rest of the
girls didn't seemed shocked by this information, but I certainly was.
"So I got a little bit of all of you girls' power. What exactly is
that power?" I asked, I'm a really curious person.
"This isn't all of us. There are two others, Amara and Michiru. The
power that you now have is a mix of all the powers of the Sailor Warriors. You
have powers of water and ice from Sailors Mercury and Neptune. You have the
power of fire from Sailor Mars. You have the power of the earth and lightning
from Sailors Uranus and Jupiter. You have the power of gold and of love from
Sailor Venus. You have the power of the moon from Sailor Moon, our leader. And
you have the power of time from Sailor Pluto. Not only did you get the power
of the Sailor Warriors, but also their traits and abilities. You are a mural
of these powers, and above all, the strongest of the Sailor Warriors." Trista
had managed to shock me yet again.
"Who are the Sailor Warriors?" I asked. It seemed that
all I could say was one question after another.
"The Sailor Warriors are a group of strong females chosen by
destiny many years ago, to be the protectors of this solar system. Each one
represents her own planet, and leads a normal life, transforming into a Sailor
Warrior when the need arises."
"Well then how come I ended up here? Am I supposed to be a Sailor
Warrior?" questions arose in my mind quickly and continually.
"Yes, you are a Sailor Warrior. You are Sailor Starburst. You are
here because the Sailor Warriors are going to need you soon to help them
defeat their enemy." Trista explained.
"Where are the Sailor Warriors? And what if I'm not strong enough?
I'm not a strong person, you know." I was not sure if I should believe this
story. The group laughed.
"You're looking at the Sailor Warriors!" Serena exclaimed, unable
to contain her excitement.
"Of course you will be strong enough! Your destiny is to be a
Sailor Warrior, and it was determined long ago!"
I stared blankly, looking for the source of this new voice. Finally I
noticed two cats, a black one and a white one, both with little crescent moons
on their foreheads. The black cat looked at me pointedly, as if challenging me
to believe anything other than what she said.
"Oh yeah, this is Artemis and Luna, Artemis is Mina's and Luna is
mine," Serena said. "Like I said, it is your destiny to be a Sailor Warrior,"
Luna said.
"Right, talking cats. I'm sure I'll get used to it. But what about
those voices that spoke to me when I was with Eden? Who was that?" I asked.
"Firstly, you should stop talking about Pheobe as if you are still
her. She died when you said yes, and came here. She's not a part of you
anymore, neither is anything from your old life. The voices that spoke to you
were us. I was reading some papers from the time of the Silver Millenium, and
I noticed that there was a part that must have been over-looked back then. It
was a paragraph about a strong warrior, stronger than any soldier, that would
aid the Sailor Warriors defeat their greatest enemy yet. It had more detail,
and with that information I was able to figure out that you were that warrior.
Since I am Sailor Pluto, I have strong powers when it comes to the past,
present and future, and different worlds and places. When Pheobe realized that
she loved Eden, her destiny was unlocked. However, she could not take the
information as who she was, so I contacted you at that moment. When you
accepted coming here, you gave permission for your destiny to change you. And
so you became Euclea, Sailor Starburst." Trista proved to be a fountain of
information. I couldn't believe it. From the knowledge I got from the Sailors,
I knew all about the Silver Millenium.
"When is this enemy coming?"
As usual, Trista was the one to answer. She must be really patient.
"I would be the only one of the Sailor Scouts that would know this, but this
time, I have no idea. All I know is that it will be a strong enemy and that it
will come soon. Since you got your power from all of us, including me, I
thought that you might know. You are the strongest of us, and all your
abilities are stronger than when we use them."
"I'm sorry, I can't help you. I have no idea about what is going to
happen. Besides, look at me, I couldn't be nearly as strong as you say I am."
I was indeed sorry that I couldn't help them. But I was such an average girl,
this strong warrior that they were talking about couldn't be me.
"The person you once were is gone. Think of yourself as the new and
improved you! In this state you only have limited powers. VERY limited. It's
when you transform that your power is at it's peak. Which reminds me, Luna
give her her transformation wand," Mina kindly said, I started to think of her
as the caring, bubbly type of person. Luna did a somersault in the air, and
with a small 'pop', a silver wand (about 6 inches long) with a small silver
starburst on the top, appeared. I took the wand, it seemed to be alive with
the power that it could give me.
"When you need to use it, shout "Starburst Cosmic Make-up!" and you
will transform into Sailor Starburst," Luna explained.
"Geez, it's kind of hard to believe. I mean, me?" I was mystified
by all of this new information. I used to think that I had a normal life.
"You must be really tired. And with all this stuff, you must be
confused too. We'll let you get some rest and we can talk more in the
morning," Raye said, adapting into the role of hostess quickly. I nodded. Rest
sounded great to me. Maybe it'll all turn out to be a dream. It would at least
give me some time to try to make sense of what this meant. As I drifted off
towards sleep, I thought about how different my life had suddenly become. I'm
not Pheobe anymore. I am Euclea. I am a warrior. I have a destiny to fulfill,
and that destiny has finally been revealed to me.
