It was unnerving, really. Only days before she'd moved to Tokyo had Sun's powers surfaced when her hometown was attacked. They had been in search of galactic crystals, star seeds of the deep space guardians. At least that's what her cat told her. Phefe had lived by her side for years, longer than any regular cat would, and suddenly one night she talked and changed an ordinary girl's life forever.
And here was that previously ordinary girl, a simply demonstration archer, standing among the silver moon senshi. They were goddesses in her eyes. Beautiful guardians, probably about her age, defending the world against unnatural evil. She was a novice compared to them. She was nervous, gripping her bow to keep from shaking too much.
"Solar Eclipse?" Venus echoed.
"Galactic crystal?" Mercury chimed in.
"Sailor SUN?!" Sailor Moon exclaimed in surprise. There were more allies out in the galaxy? More people to help fight this new threat?
Sun bit her lower lip. She had to trust this fire magic would show up and not burn down the gymnasium. She pulled the bow tight, an arrow manifested between her fingers. The arrow lit on fire, as did the string of the bow, but the fire didn't burn her. It was her power, and it was working.
Steadying her aim, Sun released the arrow, commanding it, "Solar Flare!" The arrow stayed true to its path, though she wasn't aiming for the golem this time, she was aiming for the intruder. The fire on the arrow grew more as it sailed through the air. At the last moment, however, the golem moved, lurching backwards, defending its master.
"That was, like, way too close, you idiot golem!" the blond intruder fussed, continuing to twirl her hair. "I so don't want to get my hands all grodie and stuff. Kill them all and like come back with the crystal or don't come back at all." With such harsh words, she stepped back into a flurry of black rose petals and disappeared.
Sun frowned nervously. That was the only move she knew, and it failed. She wanted to help them, but she didn't know how. It was her second time on the battlefield.
"What are we waiting for?" Venus spoke up suddenly. "Let's help her out!"
"You don't have to tell me twice," Jupiter smirked, dashing forward. Using some of the rubble as a spring board, she jumped into the air, pulling her legs underneath her and her hands above. "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Oak leaves surrounded her then shot out at the golem, wedging themselves between the rocks which made up the creature.
"My analysis says we need to break the rocks apart!" Mercury shouted. "It'll break the spell on them." Tucking her mini-computer away, she leapt off the bleachers, summoning the Mercury Harp to her hands once again. "Mercury Aqua Rhapsody~!" she commanded, pulling the strings of the harp. Beautiful music filled the room as strands of water shot out from the harp, attacking the golem and loosening the rocks.
"Alright, my turn!" Venus said confidently, summoning her chain to her hands. She paused for a second, considering how this probably would go. She'd smack the golem with the chain, and the chain would come back and hit her in the face. Very graceful. Very effective. Very much not a good plan.
She released the chain from her hands, letting it fade away, then pushed her arms out straight in front of her. "Rolling Heart Vibration!" She hadn't used the attack for ages, but she still could recall its power. Hearts formed between her arms and rolled out, attacking the golem, breaking it apart.
"Yes! One more attack!" Ami looked up to see Sailor Moon hadn't summoned a weapon. She hadn't even moved. Then it hit her. When the team had been taken over by Galaxia, they broke it. Sailor Moon was without a means to properly fight.
Across the room, even Sun could tell something was wrong. She didn't know anything about their recent battle or whatever struggles they had endured. Sun felt so weak compared to their combined power, but she could do her part to help.
She pulled the bow tight once again, but she knew a fire-based attack wouldn't work. She didn't know much about magic, but she knew plenty about archery. Concentrating, she summoned several arrows to her hand, then pointed the bow at the ceiling, releasing them. "Rain of arrows~" she completely made up the name, though truly it didn't need one. It wasn't really a Sun power. It was simply demonstration archery put to work.
Her aim was once again true. The arrows rained down from the ceiling, spearing the golem and breaking apart the stones. Without magic to bring it to life, the rocks fell apart, the golem turning into the rubble it once was.
...
The blond villainess frowned as she watched the scene from a distance. A combination of Lunar and Eclipse senshi just couldn't happen. It would mean the end of their master's brilliant plan for revenge. The silver moon and golden sun had to fall, and she'd put her life on the line to do it. She couldn't fail the queen.
She bit her lip in frustration.
"You're gonna bite a hole through your lip if you keep doing that, sister." A boy, about the same age as the girl, appeared. His hair was short and blond, his eyes a blue matching hers. His uniform was a similar gray, though the piping was blue instead of red.
"Like, shove it, Doxite," Dixite frowned, moping a bit. She knew there were other galactic senshi roaming around. There were reports of it everywhere, but where they were was the mystery. The Shadow Galaxy hadn't quite found a good way to track them. They appeared without warning, foiled the Galaxy's plans, then disappeared without a trace. Extracting their galactic crystals would surely stop them, or so the master tactician Pifite had said. Trouble was extracting that crystal before the other senshi interfered.
"Two more Eclipse have surfaced in the area," Doxite informed her. "Pifite-sama seems to think they're congregating here for some reason. This school might be some sorta important location to them."
Unknown to them, this point was special to the lunar senshi. This location was where Crystal Tokyo would have its beginning.
"Two more," the girl scoffed. "Looks like we'll have to go with, like, plan B and stuff."
