Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon Celestial Stars
Chapter 10: Hoshi's true identity, the fall of Aalanea.
Yells echoed through the empty room, as the sound of metal crashed together.
Ayano Hoshi, fencing expert, was going up against one of the best fencers in Japan; Shinibana Kaze.
This was surprising for Kaze, he had never been up against anyone so strong and skilled as her before. But of course, he was better. As Hoshi lifted her sword, in that split second, Kaze knocked her sword away from Hoshi's grip, as it flew to the other side of the room, and pointed his own at her heart.
" I win." Grinning cheerfully, he lowered his sword and held out a hand to shake Hoshi's. " Good game, you're very skilled, haven't ever met anyone so good before."
Returning the smile, Hoshi shook his hand, and nodded. " Thank you." Picking up her sword, the two left the room and out into the cool hallway.
Handing Hoshi a cup of ice water, he sipped his own and nodded to her direction. " You must have had a good teacher."
Giving a faint smile, she nodded. " Yes."
" What's wrong?"
Looking up at Kaze, she smiled and faced the stormy weather outside. " Have you ever felt like you failed someone?"
" Well, yea, of course."
She gave a soft laugh, " Not in the way I have..."
" Hoshi?"
" I let her die. I let her be taken away, I let her leave us."
Six figures walked along a ruined land, nothing stirring or making a sound.
" And, we were so stupid not to see it.."
A snake-like arms reached out and grabbed the one with golden hair around the waist, pulling her into a hole in the ground.
" We tried..."
" Evening Star Frozen orbits!" Nothing had an effect. " Damn!" A blur of navy rushed past, as the one that was standing beside the one of golden hair jumped into the hole after it. " HEY!" Looking bewildered, the remaining 4 stared for a while, and then jumped in after.
" But then, we saw..."
At the end of the hole the found yet another ruined site of devastation. Spotting the one with navy hair they ran over. her face was written with horror as she stood. The others, confused looked up, and had an equal look of shock on their faces.
" She was just standing there.."
Vines with thorns wrapped around her wrist, ankles, waist and neck, bound tightly and the thorns piercing her skin, and attaching her to a black star with a cross in the center.
" And then...she was in pain."
Four shadowed figures of women descended up, as they cut an 'x' on the figure's wrists, four of them. When the blood flowed out, they gathered it up in a small beautifully decorated jar, and drank it deeply. As soon as her blood touched their lips, the one with golden hair let out a scream.
" Then....she was gone."
The star and cross vanished, now leaving her standing on a radio tower. And then the radio tower changed also, into a tower of sharp crystals, closing in around her. the one with navy hair screamed out as she tried to get loose from the hold of the others. A giant hand reached down picking up the girl encased in crystals, and threw it down on the earth.
Blinking back tears that threatened to fall, she turned and smiled at Kaze. " Forget what I just said."
Looking disbelieving at Hoshi, he shrugged and nodded. " Alright."
" Hoshi!" Someone called her name, as the navy hair girl turned around to face Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki.
" Seiya-kun, Yaten-kun, Taiki-kun."
Walking up to Hoshi, the three showed her some papers.
" Fencing, with Shinibana Kaze." A half smile spread as she handed it to the man beside her, and raised an eyebrow. " What's this for?"
" Idol stuff." Rolling his eyes, Yaten stuffed his hands in his pockets. " It's stupid."
Seiya's hand made contact with the back of Yaten's head, receiving a glare from the shorter man. " it's not stupid. I would like to try it, seems fun."
Shaking his head at the two, he looked to Hoshi. " How about you?"
" I just finished fencing, with, Shinibana Kaze." She nodded to the man beside her. " Gentlemen, meet Shinibana Kaze."
Giving a smile to the Three Lights, Kaze shook each of their hands. " Nice to meet you. Hoshi, how about you fence with us too?"
Looking slightly bewildered, Hoshi shrugged. " Why not?" Picking up her sword again, the five headed back off to the room.
*** *** ***
Gritting her teeth, Aalanea once again, was forcefully kneeling before Leahona.
" You idiot! Failed! Again! How hard is it really?!" She threw a red wine cup at Aalanea's direction, once again missing in her rage.
'Bitch.' Keeping her head low, Aalanea spoke through her teeth. " The Senshi, they're not making my job any easier."
A scream came from Leahona as she threw another cup this time a piece cut Aalanea's hand. " I don't want any shitty excuses!"
Aalanea's eyes flashed murderously, as she stood up, glaring at Leahona, she had enough. " FUCK OFF." With those simple words, she walked out, disappearing in a black hole.
Leahona stood for a second, shocked, and then pushed over the whole table of wine cups, then blasting it to bits. " BITCH!!! She comes back and she'll die."
" Watch your temper Leahona..." A chilling voice flowed out, as spiders and other insects ran out.
Giving a sharp gasp, Leahona bent down, and bowed. " I apologize."
" Good."
" Lord, Aalanea, she, should I send some out to finish her?"
" No, that's alright. When the time comes, she'll be done with. Right now, our main goal is the Sun Goddess."
" Hai."
Red eyes flashed from behind the throne, but, they weren't human....were they?
*** *** ***
Furious, Aalanea stood outside in the rain, black hair matted over her shoulders, holding her necklace up. " damn fucking Leahona. I'll show her." A point flashes, as she smiled and made her way to a white building not far off.
*** *** ***
The swords clashed against each other once again, Kaze up against Seiya, Taiki against Hoshi, and Yaten, sitting over there in the corner watching it all without breaking a sweat.
Almost simultaneously, two swords flew off and the points embedded itself on either side of Yaten.
Eyes wide with shock, the silver haired boy's mouth dropped open, as he stared at the swords. After processing all this he stood up and yelled at the four. " WHAT IN BLOODY HELL WAS THAT?!"
He blinked seeing Seiya and Taiki both on the ground, Kaze and Hoshi's swords pointed at their chests.
All four looking over and seeing the Swords grinning sheepishly. " Sorry Yaten!"
Giving them a sarcastic smile, he folded his arms and leaned against the wall.
Shaking her head, Hoshi lowered her sword and helped Taiki up, as Kaze did the same with Seiya.
" Good game. You were good." Complimenting Taiki, Hoshi released her hair from the bun she had put it in to fence.
" Thank you, you were much better though."
Smiling she nodded. " I've been practicing with the sword for as long as I can remember."
Taiki began to reply, when the lights in the whole building suddenly turned off.
" What?!"
Opening the door, Kaze looked down the pitch black hallway. " Must be a black out, probably because of the storm."
" Yes, of course it is."
The five whipped around to the icy voice, that didn't belong to any of them. A single golden light flashed in that direction, while purple eyes flashed.
Hoshi's eyes widened slightly, then narrowed in hate. While the others were focused on the hidden person, she slipped outside to the hallway.
" Who are you?" Seiya demanded, as his hand slipped into his pocket for his henshin item.
" No one you know. Now, if you would all step away from the fencing expert, I'll take his Stone and leave."
Taiki and Yaten stepped up next to Seiya, drawing out their own Henshin Items. " I don't think so."
" I wasn't asking." Her free hand reached up, her palm facing the three idols, a blast shot out knocking the three into the wall.
" Shit!" The three fell in a heap, Taiki on the bottom, Yaten next, and then Seiya on top of them all.
" Seiya! Get off!"
" Sorry!"
" Why do YOU always land on top?!"
" Because I'm your leader and the leader need to be thought of first!"
" Oh gee, thanks! Don't let it get to your head!"
" It's a little too late for that, Yaten."
" TAIKI!"
" That's my name, must have taken you AGES to learn it, hmm?"
" Shut up! Some friends!"
" Some leader!"
" Shut up!"
" SEIYA YATEN!! JUST GET OF ME!"
" Sorry." Both Seiya and Yaten clampered off, then Taiki stood up also.
" Now, we have to get Ka--damn." Rolling his eyes, Yaten pointed to Kaze on the ground, this color stone floating in the air.
" Well, you're a little to late for THAT." Smiling happily Aalanea watching the color stone head towards her to the light, so she could see the color.
" Fighter Star Power, Make Up!"
Her head shot over to see Seiya henshin, and then an amused look crossed her face. " Well, well, well. What have we got here?"
" SEIYA YOU IDIOT!"
" Maker Star Power, Make Up!"
" Ooh, this certainly is a surprise."
" Taiki! You're supposed to be the smart one!"
" Just henshin!"
Muttering under his breath, Yaten gave in. " Healer Star Power, Make Up!"
Mock clapping sounded from Aalanea, looking quite proud of herself, she looked at the three henshined Starlights before her. " Well, this is a HUGE surprise."
" Yea well, here's more, Star Serious Laser!"
Her back mirror was brought out, as she deflected the attack back at Fighter, sending her to fall back on top of Healer, and Healer on Maker.
" FIGHTER!!!!!!"
" It's not my fault!"
*** *** ***
Leaning against the door to the women's bathroom, Hoshi's eyes stared at the floor.
What was their purpose for this? Why were they down on earth? Why were they fighting? Why were they without their true leader? Why, did she have to lose her best friend?
So many whys swam through her head. There was no purpose for this. " She's dead." She had told herself this so many times. Too many. So, why were they doing this? Risking their lives, and helping the people of some planet who didn't care about anything other than themselves.
" Just because you help somebody, doesn't mean you like them. It just means that you care for them, and you want to help make their lives better and worthwhile."
The first thing she had told them, when they were training as Senshi. Was that why they had come to this place? Yes, but there was another reason....
" ....Sun." NightStar kneeled against her best friend and leader. The former leader was beaten up badly, blood pouring from almost everywhere on her body. MorningStar was holding the crying TwinStar in her arms, holding her tightly and turned her head away from the sight. EveningStar holding Sun's hand and putting a hand on NightStar, crying tears she thought she didn't possess. ShootingStar's hand covered her mouth, she was frozen with shock and horror at the sight.
She Sun Goddess smiled at her senshi. How could she smile? She was battered up, and at Hell's Gates. " I'm not dying. I'm just hiding." Taking a small orange and red sun shaped charm from the little of her bow, she handed it to NightStar. " Find the third blue planet from the sun. There, fight. Until you find the six golden color stones. When you do, you'll find me again." Giving another smile, she looked to her senshi. " Don't cry. Promise me, you won't cry until I find you again, or you find me."
Every single one of the Senshi nodded, and held back remorseful tears. Smiling, the Sun Goddess nodded and closed her eyes, whispered her last words faintly. " The Golden light..."
That was why. That was the reason they were down here. The third blue planet from the sun. To find the six golden color stones, and awaken the Golden Light, before the Masca did. Pulling out her gold necklace, she looked at the two charms on it. One, a navy star outlined with gold, and the second, an orange sun shaped charm. Looking at it for a while, she gripped it tightly. " Promise." Slipping it out from over her head, she threw it into the air. " Night Star Celestial Make Up!"
*** *** ***
"Damn." Seeing the color stone was blue, Aalanea threw it back up in the beam, grabbed the star, and walked over to the Starlights, who were standing up once again. " Well, who would have thought. Three regular idol boys being three of the senshi I wanted to get rid of." Drawing out, she smirked. " This make it so much easier. Dark Sta-"
" Night Star Inevitable Destiny!" The attacks blasted Aalanea into the wall before she could attack the Starlights.
" SHIT!" Struggling up she snarled at NightStar's shadowed form.
" 3 Years we searched! All because of you and the Masca! Our search ends here on this planet! Retaliate Senshi of the Stars that protect and shine eternally bright! Sailor NightStar!"
Standing up Aalanea, raised a brow. " And you think my life's peachy since your stupid leader died?!"
" Night Star Inevitable Destiny!" Without listening for words she attacked.
" Fine! You want to fight?! I'll fight! To death!"
" You'll die first!"
" Dark Star Galaxy!" Aalanea was stronger, yes, but NightStar stood her ground, bruises covering her.
" Revolving Comet's Tail!" Blasting her attack, Aalanea's knees began to buckle slightly. " Give me that crystal!"
" No way in hell!" Pulling out a black star, she swallowed it.
" The hell?!" The Starlights had looked on at the fight, and now, seeing Aalanea swallow the star shocked them.
" Stand back!" Yelling at the Starlights, NightStar began to back off.
Aalanea began to change drastically. Soon, black lightning covered her, hiding her from view as she changed inside.
" What's going on?!"
" Think about it Fighter! What usually happens?!"
" ...Oh...SHIT."
When the black lightning tore away, all that was left was a giant scorpion.
" That's...not....good."
" No shit, Sherlock!" Slapping the back of Fighter's head, Healer started her attack.
" Star Sensitive Inferno!" And it had no effect. " Oh.....crap."
The scorpion whipped it's tail around, the stinger flashing dangerously.
" It's a bit too dark to see!"
" Revolving Comet's Tail!" Her attack hit the head of the scorpion, turning it's attention from the Starlights to NightStar.
Grimacing, she resumed attacking. " Inevitable Destiny!" The attack had effect, yes, but very slightly, and angering it more and more by the minute. She attacked again and again, drawing it closer to her and further from the Starlights.
Green slime and acid flowed out from the scorpion's mouth, as it swung a claw, catching NightStar's right leg and leaving a rather deep and painful cut.
Giving a scream, she fell, backing up slowly.
" Star Serious Laser!" Fighter's attack hit it, now the scorpion was confused, the Starlight? Or the Celestial?
" Help her! Star Gentle Uterus!"
" Star Sensitive Inferno!" The Starlights joined in on distracting the Scorpion, luring it away from NightStar.
She sat there, bewildered as to why the Starlights would help her after how they refused. ' Why are they doing this..?'
" Just because you help somebody, doesn't mean you like them. It just means that you care for them, and you want to help make their lives better and worthwhile."
Her eyes widened slightly, as her Leader's words rang through her ears. " ....Doesn't mean you like them, you just care for them..." Her eyes hardened with determination, as she struggled up.
" It's getting closer!"
" Good observation Healer!"
" Save the argument! Star Gentle Uterus!"
More acid flowed from its mouth, as it swung it's tail jabbing at the Starlight.
" Shit! Watch the tail!"
Another swing, and the Starlights were thrown against the opposite wall, all falling in a motionless heap.
Groaning, Fighter struggled to stand up, only to fall again.
Raising it's tail, the Scorpion prepared to finish them off, setting the poison inside them.
" STAR SHATTERING DUST!!" The unexpected attack hit the scorpion with amazing force, as it hit the wall, and fell out into the rainy weather outside.
NightStar stood, struggling on her cut right leg, an air of full determination and revenge surrounding her.
Clambering up, the scorpion hissed at the Celestial Star Senshi, it's glowing red eyes being pierced by NightStar's own hard, cold navy ones. It began to go at NightStar, it's tail flicking venomously as it ran.
Eyes unwavering, she held out both hands before her. " Star that shines through the dark night and provides protection! Night Star! Send down the Sword of the Star's Pure Crystal Dusts!" Ripping through the clouds, a beam of navy light shot down at NightStar in the shape of a star. From the ground before her, a navy star glowed brightly, then a crystal raising up in the shape of the star, with a magnificent sword seeming to be made of ice and crystal sprouting. Gripping the sword with hands, she pulled it out and held it up to the sky.
As the scorpion ran towards, her, the sword glowed with white and navy, as she brought it down. " Star Crystalline Shatter!" Striking the sword down in front of her, it shot out white and navy stars, that encased the scorpion in a shimmering crystal case. Bringing the sword down, she pierced it through the crystal and the scorpion, sending out a blinding white light that dissolved it into nothing.
Groaning, the Three Starlights sat up rubbing their temples sorely. " What..." Looking around, they caught sight of the demolished wall, and NightStar standing outside, her back to them, and the sword by her side.
Her head raised up to the sky, watching as the clouds vanished and the rays of sunshine broke through.
" I'm not dying. I'm just hiding."
" Just hiding.."
" Find the third blue planet from the sun. There, fight. Until you find the six golden color stones. When you do, you'll find me again."
" Find you again..."
" Don't cry. Promise me, you won't cry until I find you again, or you find me."
A faint smile broke through, as she gripped the sun charm on the necklace around her neck. " I promise."
" NightStar.."
She turned around, to face the Starlight smiling at her.
" Thank you." Smiling, Fighter held out a hand to shake.
She looked at the hand, and then to fight, and took it. " Just because you help somebody, it doesn't mean you like them, it means you just care of them." Smiling, she nodded to Healer and Maker, then turned, jumping up and vanishing in a flash of navy light.
Turning the Starlights began to leave also, then a figure bending down to pick up the crystal caught their eye. " Hey!"
Fighter ran to tackle the figure. Head jerking up, the figure with dark blue hair smirked and vanished in a swirl of black.
Hitting the floor, Fighter winced as Healer held out a hand to help her up.
" Who was that?"
" I have a feeling Aalanea wasn't the last of them."
" Hmm."
Kaze began to stir, his color stone having reentered his body.
" Time to go." Turning the three jumped up and disappeared.
*** *** ***
" Hoshi!" The Three boys watched approached Hoshi standing in front of the building, watching the repairs be done on the demolished wall.
" Seiya, Yaten, Taiki." She smiled warmly.
" What happened?" Seiya nodded to the hole in the wall.
" No idea. I hope they get it back up soon."
" Yea, maybe we could fence again." Seiya grinned and nudged Taiki. " Maybe I'll get a chance to see Taiki lose at something again."
Hoshi laughed as Taiki blushed. " Maybe next time I could go against you. Here, we'll make a deal." Holding out her right hand for Seiya to shake she smiled. " We'll fence against, you ad me."
Returning the smile Seiya took her hand.
At the same time, both Seiya and Hoshi felt something familiar. A familiar wave of energy and power. They looked up staring into each other's eyes as if to find some secret, but found none.
' Hoshi....her hand...'
' His hand...'
' It's like...'
' Same as...'
" Hello? You two ok?" Yaten and Taiki looked at the two and blinked curiously.
They looked away and took their hands away from each other's and smiled.
' No way.'
' Star Fighter's a girl.'
Nodding to Seiya and the rest, Hoshi turned and began to walk off. " See you at school."
" Ja'ne!"
" Bye."
" Goodbye."
Nodding and smiling, she walked off into the horizon, a slight limp on her right leg where a bandage wrapped around her leg, as she smiled proudly at herself, and holding the Navy Star and orange Sun charm on her necklace.' Just because you help somebody, doesn't mean you like them..'
