Disclaimer: Do I look like I own Sailor Moon or any of its characters? Yes? Oh, well thank you, but sadly I don't
Hey all. I thank you for the reviews, they were a great help. I now know my paragraphing needs more work. I never was good at paragraphs. Anyway, this chapter is also short, but if I had combined it with the next chapter it wouldn't have worked as well, so... a short chapter... :(
Too late to save them. Only one remains, their leader, 'Sailor Moon' was it? Now She would protect her.
The poor girl was sitting on the ice in a half dead state, whispering the names of her fallen comrades to herself.
"Mako-chan. Ami-chan. Minako-chan. Rei-chan."
This time she did not turn around when another of Queen Beryl's horrific monsters caused the white ice beneath her to crack.
The winged girl above saw and her copper eyes widened.
It looked similar to the five youma the senshi had just destroyed, but it was far larger.
Its arms became razor-sharp tentacles and it hovered just above the ground, a horrible twisted smile on its grey face
And as it thrust the steel pointed tentacles at this distraught, emotionally crushed girl, She did the only thing She could think of:
She threw herself between Sailor Moon and the Youma.
As Usagi sat there, not really comprehending anything, she just saw a streak of silver over her head.
There was a dull thud and a gasp, before something feathered slammed into her back.
An ugly growl snapped Sailor Moon out of her trance and she pushed off whatever had saved her from the youma.
Instinctively she reached for her forehead.
"Moon Tiara ACTION!"
A spinning disk of energy collided with the monster and with a scream and a cracking sound it turned to dust.
The enemy gone, Sailor Moon turned around, already beginning to feel depression pressing on her again.
A girl, about the same age as her, lay in a crumpled heap on her side.
Her hair was dark brown, streaked with bronze and she was wearing a soft gown of grey-silver material, finer than any Usagi had seen before.
Her eyes were closed but she was still breathing, despite a deep stab to the chest.
Sailor Moon's eyes widened as she saw the dark grey wings sweeping out behind her back, though one was broken and folded, two red gashes against the silvery feathers.
"You saved me…" She murmured, dropping down beside the girl's bronze-brown hair.
The eyes opened, pained, but as they lighted on Sailor Moon, contented.
They were a lovely shade of brown, a sort of honey copper colour.
"I'm glad… you are alright."
Her voice was barely a whisper, ragged and tired.
Copper eyes met blue ones and the winged girl managed a smile.
"Why did you save me?" Sailor Moon asked softly.
The copper eyes closed again and, with a smile still on her lips,
"I couldn't just let you die." She sighed and finally lay still.
Usagi watched sadly as the life quietly left this girl, this stranger whom she knew nothing about.
It still hurt, to see her die.
You will learn my characters name soon enough, perhaps the next chapter, perhaps not... Mwahaha!
Thank you again for the reviews, more would be nice :P
