A/N: I should probably spit this out now...this chapter is WAY more rushed towards the end than the last one was. I'm sorry, but I have plans and I kinda want to get this story moving...don't worry, I have the original Sailor Soldiers planned to appear in the next chapter! So yeah...I'm getting tired of my own OCs :P Well, Sailor Blue and the Starlights are fine - but the other Rainbow Sailors...well, here's Chapter Four!
Transformation of the Last Three Rainbow Sailors!
"It looks like our plan failed. Again," sighed Shiro, staring down at the table. She was sitting alongside her partner, Kuro, inside a busy ice cream parlor.
"Man...Shinda is gonna kill us," Kuro groaned, taking a small lick of her vanilla flavored ice cream on a cone.
Shiro scoffed. "Why would she? We're all she's got. If she killed us, then she would be on her own." She didn't get an ice cream, because Kuro was paying and she didn't want to make her partner "sad".
Kuro rolled her eyes. "Shiro, I was exaggerating."
"I'll say," Shiro agreed, nodding.
"Besides, our mission is to recruit more Sailor Soldiers to our side," Kuro added. "Once we succeed, Shinda can kill us if she wants to." She pounded her fist on the table. "And we haven't made any progress yet. First, Sailor Shooting Star, then, she's joined by Sailor Lost Star, then this...'Sailor Blue' appears, and she's only found two Sailor Soldiers – more than we have!"
"What are we doing wrong?" Shiro asked her partner.
"Nothing," Kuro replied. "Nothing at all. That's what pisses me off the most."
Shiro tapped her chin. "Maybe we should create more Shi-Akuma? Or do you think we need less, but more...eh, strength...?"
Kuro buried her head in her arms. "Now you're just talking nonsense."
"Yeah, you're right," Shiro admitted.
"Still...if we had more Akuma, then we could cover more area, right?" Kuro asked, lifting her head out of her arms. "This is brilliant! When the Sailors are detransformed and separated, we can totally spring a bunch of Shi-Akuma on them! They won't be able to defend themselves-" She cut herself off as she began to snicker.
"We don't even know their civilian identities," Shiro reminded her.
Kuro smirked and leaned back in her chair, taking another lick of her ice cream.. "No...but we know the Starlights'."
Across the shop, Alysa, Kelli, Hailee, and Sapphire were hanging out at one of the booths, laughing and having a great time. Sapphire, being a cat, had "no interest whatsoever of taking part in consuming frozen milk and sugar". The girls had their favorite flavors with them, though – Hailee had mint chocolate chip, on a cone, Kelli had strawberry, on a cone, and Alysa...let's just say her's cost the most. It was in a cup, and contained chocolate ice cream with smashed Oreo cookies, small peanut butter cups, and had chocolate syrup poured on top. Sapphire tried to explain that she didn't want Sailor Blue to get a tummy ache during battle, but of course she didn't listen. Oh well, Alysa will eventually grow out of this sweets phase...right...?
"Hailee, may I ask you a question?" Sapphire asked with a smirk.
"Sure," Hailee replied.
Alysa growled at the cat and gave her "the look", because she knew for a fact she was up to something.
Sapphire snickered. "How do you feel about...'blond jokes'?"
Hailee laughed. "I think they're hilarious!" she exclaimed. Sapphire became speechless, and Alysa laughed and pointed at the cat in taunt. "I don't find them offensive at all," Hailee continued. "I love making fun of 'my people'."
"Alysa, do you remember Emily?" Kelli asked suddenly, reaching into her purse.
"Yeah," Alysa replied. She was starting to slow down on her ice cream, obviously becoming full or sick. "I've known her since I was 2 years old. Why?"
Kelli pulled her hand out of her purse, revealing a yellow flier. "Well, she's starting a free cooking class after school on Monday. Hailee and I are attending." She turned to the blonde, who happily nodded in agreement. "Wanna come with us?"
Alysa chuckled nervously. "Gee guys, I'd love to, but...see, I can't cook." She grabbed a small, plastic ice cream barrel from a dispenser nearby and set her remaining ice cream. The two girls and cat rolled their eyes, because they knew the chocoholic wouldn't be able to finish it all at once.
"Alysa...that's why they call it a 'class'," Hailee explained, now munching on her cone.
Alysa nodded. "I know, I know...it's just that..." she rested her chin on the plastic ice cream barrel. "I'm afraid of ovens. And stoves. And knives."
"Wow, you're going to be a great mother someday," Sapphire teased with a big grin on her face, which faded a few moments later. "But seriously, Alysa – just toughen up."
"Toughen up? Toughen up?" Alysa quickly lifted her chin from the barrel. "I don't need to 'toughen up'! This is IT! This all you guys are getting!" She flipped her ponytail and lowered her voice to a whisper. "Besides, I'm pretty tough in battle, right?" she asked.
"No," Sapphire, Kelli, and Hailee said in unison.
"Agreed," Alysa responded with a sigh. She still wished she could be tougher, though.
"Anyway," Kelli continued. " The cooking class is for the neighborhood 13-year-olds. Come. It will be fun!"
"Not as fun as reading mangas," Alysa replied, taking off her glasses to clean them. "Or watching anime. Or basically...anything."
"Even getting attacked by one of our enemies' demons?" Sapphire questioned, raising an eyebrow. "If Kelli and Hailee are going, you should too. It's much safer if you three stay together at all costs."
"Are you suggesting we all move in under one roof?" Alysa asked, very irritated by the blue cat.
"Of course not!" Sapphire exclaimed. "It would look suspicious, don't you think? Otherwise, it would not be a bad idea, actually..."
The next Monday afternoon, Alysa didn't take any chances. As soon as the final bell rung, she dashed out of her 6th period class, out of the school, and towards home. It was a long run, and her backpack was ginormous as usual, but she didn't care. If she didn't want to go to that cooking class, well...she felt like she shouldn't. As long as the others didn't-
"Hey, Alysa!" yelled Hailee.
Ouch. Busted. Hailee, Kelli, and Sapphire. were sitting on the driveway of Emily's house, in their cooking aprons. Alysa hit herself in the forehead. She totally forgot that she always passed Emily's house on her way home from school. "How did you guys get here before me anyway?" she asked.
"Me, because I walked over from your house before the school day ended," Sapphire explained.
"And we got a ride from our moms," Hailee added. She frowned. "Did you walk all the way here from school?"
"Oh my gosh!" Kelli exclaimed, standing up. "I'm sorry! If I had known you didn't have a ride, I would've given you one."
"That's okay," Alysa assured her. "I'm used to this type of stuff."
"What do you mean?" Sapphire asked.
"One, walking home everyday by myself," Alysa explained. "Two, getting this kind of ignorance from others." Hailee and Kelli exchanged sad glances.
The girls went inside, and Sapphire stayed put. She knew Emily had two dogs, and she could already hear them barking at her.
"Hey, everyone!" greeted Emily when they walked into the kitchen, where her and two other girls were hanging out. Emily had dark chocolate eyes and even darker brown hair, braided into two long pigtails. She also wore braces that were colored green and gold, which Alysa recognized as the school colors. "Just take a seat next to them," Emily instructed, pointed to the two other girls sitting at the table.
The three did as they were told, and they sat down. Alysa sat down next to the two other girls, which she thought was rather awkward. While Emily was preparing for the lesson, Alysa decided to introduce herself. "I'm Alysa, who are you guys?" she asked.
They both looked up from their conversation for about a second to answer. "I'm Mariah," one of them replied thoughtlessly. She had short, light brown hair and chocolate colored eyes, but not dark like Emily's.
"Trixie," the second girl added. She was a redhead, with her hair tied up into a bun, and she had dull green eyes.
Alysa frowned and turned away. This kind of treatment was partially why she didn't like talking to people.
"Sooooo, where do we start?" Shiro asked, skipping down the sidewalk alongside Kuro.
Kuro forced a smile, feeling ridiculous that Shiro was skipping in that dress. "Well, we should probably go after Sailor Shooting Star first, because she's the leader of the two. But let's not attack 'her', just yet..."
Shiro stopped skipping. "Huh?"
"Shooting Star values nothing more in the world than her little cousin," Kuro explained with a smirk. "She'll be the perfect bait." They approached Emily's house, where Sapphire was still on the driveway. She was sleeping, and didn't notice the two teens with the odd hair walking past her. When they entered the courtyard, Kuro stopped Shiro from walking any further. "Summon a Shi-Akuma," she ordered.
"That'll take a while," Shiro reminded her.
"That's okay," Kuro replied.
Inside, Emily was now finished via giving instructions. "Shall we get started?" she asked the group. Everyone nodded. They stood up and the class began.
"Alysa, you've barely even DONE anything," Emily scolded, as Alysa was greatly hesitating at putting the tray of french fries in the oven. "Come on, I promise you won't burn yourself."
Alysa nearly dropped the tray, but she saved it and set it on the counter. "I can't do it!" she wailed. "I'm too scared!" The group rolled their eyes. Trixie volunteered to put the tray in the oven for her.
"Now, we wait," Emily stated. Everyone sat down back at the kitchen table.
Little did they know, two trespassers were now in the backyard, staring into the window. "Ready?" Shiro asked.
"Ready," Kuro replied.
Suddenly, something crashed into Emily's kitchen. It was large, and it was, indeed, another monster. The six girls sprang up from the kitchen chairs and started to panic, except for Hailee and Kelli, who ran into the bathroom.
"Purple Rainbow Power..." Kelli shouted.
"Green Rainbow Power..." Hailee shouted.
"Make Up!"
Kelli had transformed into their Sailor selves – Sailor Purple and Sailor Green.
The monster picked up the kitchen table, and hurled it at the girls. Luckily, they all got out of the way just in the nick of time.
Sapphire's head shot up. Something was going on in that house, she was sure of it. As she peeked into a window, she saw the monster battling Sailor Purple and Sailor Green, while Mariah, Trixie, Emily and Alysa were just standing there, scared out of their wits. Purple had used her Royal Sparkle against the monster, and Green threw her Grass Sphere at it. Sapphire was very uncomfortable. Something about this particular monster seemed too strong for them to handle. There was only one more option.
She opened the window and ran over to the girls. "Alysa, transform! NOW!" Alysa trembled and pointed at Mariah, Trixie, and Emily. "It's alright," Sapphire assured her. She pulled out three more brooches, and gave them to the girls. "I have no choice. You girls must transform."
Alysa could see where this was going. "Blue Rainbow Power..."
"Yellow Rainbow Power..." Emily shouted.
"Red Rainbow Power..." Mariah shouted.
"Orange Rainbow Power..." Trixie shouted.
"Make Up!"
Kuro was watching the whole thing. "What? Shooting Star's cousin is Sailor Blue...?" She turned to Shiro, who was eating a banana. "D-do you think she even knows?" She shook her head. "No matter! Let's destroy all of them!"
"Yellow Cake Mix!" Sailor Yellow yelled. Yellow goop formed behind her, and she launched it at the monster, and it stuck it to the wall.
"Red Hot Flames!" Sailor Red yelled. A bright red beam blasted out of her hand, burning the monster.
"Orange Peel Scatter!" Sailor Orange yelled. Orange boomerangs flew around in several different directions, and all eventually hit the monster.
There was dead silence, as the monster was buried in cake mix and boomerangs. Without warning, he broke out, and roared.
"W-what?" Alysa stammered. "A-after that, h-he's s-still..." The monster swung it's arm, and knocked out five of the six Rainbow Sailors, leaving Sailor Blue the only one left. "Oh dear."
Meanwhile, Samantha was approaching Emily's house to check on her favorite cousin. "I hope she's doing alright. I know cooking..." She cringed a little. "is not her thing." A scream reached her eardrums, and it seemed to be coming from the backyard of the home. She rushed over to the fence climbed over, not knowing that it was a door and she could have just walked in.
Entering the backyard, she saw Sailor Blue getting launched out of the house, which had a huge hole in it, and landing on the grass. "Sailor Blue..." Samantha whispered quietly. Covering herself, to make sure Blue wouldn't see her, she yelled, "Shooting Star Power... Make Up!" She had transformed into the Starlight Sailor Shooting Star.
Sailor Blue got to her feet, only to be knocked down again by the monster's foot. "I'm so pathetic," she bawled to herself.
"Shooting Star Laser!"
It hit the monster, who simply just glared at the Starlight, unharmed. It's eyes turned green, and it shot beams at Shooting Star. They hit her, and she crashed into the fence.
Sailor Blue was now panicking more than ever. "Eee! What do I do? What do I do?"
"Nothing," came a voice.
Blue turned and saw two girls wearing Sailor uniforms floating next to her. It was Shiro and Kuro – Shiro was wearing a white Sailor suit, Kuro a black one, and their tiaras were grey. "Just relax," Kuro said. "and let the monster do the work for you."
"How can I relax?" Sailor Blue demanded. "I am about to get killed, here!"
"Not 'killed'," Shiro corrected. "converted."
"H-huh?" Sailor Blue wasn't quite sure she heard that right.
"You won't be killed," Kuro explained. "The monster just wants you on our side, that's all. Give up, Alysa?" She smirked.
They know my identity? Alysa thought. But...but how? Have they been spying on me? She rubbed her head and stood up. Nearby was Emily's pool – and that gave Sailor Blue an idea. She pulled out her staff and held it in front of her with both hands. The ball on the top of the staff glowed bright blue, and the water of the pool started moving splashing and going crazy. It formed into a liquid tornado, and the monster took a step back.
"I don't know who you are," Sailor Blue said. "I don't know any of you. I don't even know myself anymore. But I do know one thing – you guys are my enemies, and I will not join you!" The tornado of water splashed onto the monster, Shiro, and Kuro, and not a single drop landed on Sailor Blue or Sailor Shooting Star.
Kuro and Shiro snapped their fingers and they both disappeared. The monster, however, stayed behind, though it was badly wounded.
"Blue Staff Disintegration!" A bright blue light destroyed the monster.
"Well, we failed at our mission once again," Shiro said back in her civilian form, along with Kuro.
"But now we know who Sailor Blue is," Kuro pointed out. "Who would've thought that Sailor Blue and Sailor Shooting Star were cousins?"
