Sailor Moon SolarS - Book One: Awakenings
Chapter 10: Welcome Back, Sailor Venus!
Since meeting Hikari and receiving their new gems, the girls' spirits have been much higher. It's been 5 days since then, and still no sight of Hikari, the Outer Senshi, or Naraku's children. Life has been eerily quiet, but as the past has taught them, the girls didn't expect the calm to last. They had all returned to their normal routines.
One day they were having a good time as usual, and they met up with Haruka and Michiru.
"Hey guys," Usagi greeted them. "We haven't seen you around lately."
"You six certainly look happy today," Michiru commented with a small laugh.
"That should be understandable," Chibi Usa said. "5 days ago we met the golden senshi, and we got new powers as well."
"What do you mean you met her?" Haruka asked. "You mean you saw her again right?"
"No," Chibi Usa answered, "she saved us 5 days ago and teleported us back to the shrine. She told us who she was and gave us these gems."
She pulled her pink gem out of her pocket. Haruka and Michiru looked at the crystal for a moment.
"What are they?" Michiru asked.
"Hikari said they're called Solar Gems," Ami replied. "They're supposed to give us powers far beyond even yours."
"So why don't we have them by now?" Haruka asked.
"She said she can't give you the gems until you destroy your existing powers," Makoto answered.
"Are you insane to expect us to do that!?" Haruka shouted. "Give up our powers for powers that we don't even know if they work!?"
"It's not like your powers have any use now anyway," Minako commented.
"You keep your powers that don't even work," Haruka said, "and we'll keep our powers. At least we know these work."
They both walked off rather quickly.
"I don't think we can get to them this way," Rei said.
"Just give them time. We'll get to them if we try enough," Usagi said with a sigh.
A few days later, everyone was doing their jobs around the city as usual. Minako worked at a kindergarten class every other day as an assistant. She was taking them back into the school from their latest field trip when Haruka and Michiru walked by.
"Hey guys!" Minako yelled out while waving one hand high above her head. They saw her rather large greeting and walked over to her. "Have you thought about it any more?" she asked.
"No," Haruka replied with a stern attitude, "we won't give up our powers! Have any of your friends gotten their so called powers yet?" Minako looked down. "I didn't think so," Haruka said with a slightly confident attitude.
Meanwhile, in Miru's lab, Naraku was busy monitoring the surface.
"You're smiling," Miru said. "What do you see?"
"Haruka, Michiru, and Minako are all together right now," Naraku said, "and it doesn't look like they see eye-to-eye on the subject of destroying their powers."
"Why don't you send a child up there? You could steal Minako's gem to see what it really holds," Miru suggested. Naraku raised her hand, and a dark wave of energy came from her hand like a shockwave with a low rumble. The girls felt it on the surface.
"What was that?" Minako said as she tried to keep her balance.
"I have a good idea what it is," Michiru said as she pulled out her pen.
"Wait here," Haruka told Minako as she pulled hers out too.
A building in view suddenly exploded from the inside, and a daimon walked from the dust and rubble. His eyes glowed red with power.
"Now we'll show you how real powers can do this," Michiru said.
"Uranus Planet Power, Make Up!"
"Neptune Planet Power, Make Up!"
"You should leave now," the daimon warned. "I'm not interested in you."
"Well now you have us," Haruka yelled, "and we won't give up until you're dead!"
Knowing how their attacks did against the others, they tried a combined attack.
"World Shaking!"
"Deep Submerge!"
The two attacks circled around each other as if they were orbiting one another. They approached the daimon with a power greater than that of even Sailor Pluto. However, the daimon quickly fired a blast which stopped both itself and the Sailors' attacks in mid-air, then both detonated. The daimon proceeded to fly quickly toward them and knocked both unconscious. It stopped and looked at Minako.
"You have something I want, little girl." Minako backed up in fear. "Your gem, I want it!"
"My gem!?' Minako said as she looked at the necklace holding her gem, "You can't take it! I need it!"
"Yes, I've heard about your gem," the daimon said. "It seems you could get a great deal of power from it. That's why I want it. Tell me, how can that power be released?"
Minako looked at him with a puzzled look.
"How my power can be released? She said if my heart truly wishes for it, then the power can be released," Minako explained.
"Interesting. I wish to see this power of yours now," the daimon said while looking around. He saw some people in the distance and pulled them over to where Minako was. "How about some killing to get that power released?" He chose a man from the group he gathered and pulled him in clear view of Minako, who was looking on in fear. The daimon drew back its arm and drove its hand through the man's chest. Tears began to run down Minako's face.
"No! Please stop. Stop killing them!"
But no matter how much she begged, the daimon continued the killing. The last victim was a small girl only 7 years old, which he killed by holding his finger to her temple and firing a small beam straight through her head.
"You monster!!" she screamed out in anger and hate as she ran at the daimon. He simply threw her to the ground.
"So you have a love for children. Now I remember. You work with a school of small children don't you?"
Minako stayed silent with her hateful expression.
"It's right here isn't it? Your power would be released if I killed these children wouldn't it?"
Minako's face turned pale.
"Don't you dare touch them!" she yelled. "If you even lay a finger on them, I swear I'll make you pay dearly!"
The daimon smiled and started walking toward the school.
"Don't take another step!" She yelled as a swirling wind began to move around her slowly.
The daimon stopped and looked at her. The yellow crystal on her necklace had begun to glow.
"I see I've excited that power," the daimon said and smirked, "but this is taking too long. I need to speed it up. How about I just fry the children right now?" he suggested as he laughed and raised his hand. The energy blast was beginning to build up when time seemed to slow down for Minako.
"What can I do? This daimon is about to kill these children who I love and have tried to protect, and I can't protect them this time! No! I can't let this happen! I won't let them die!" She screamed as hard as she could, and the swirling air around her surged with energy. The daimon looked at her in surprise and lowered his arm.
"It looks like I won't have to go through the trouble after all," it said smiling. "Now, let me see that power!"
The crystal had begun to glow brighter and sparks were jumping from it. The tears running down her face caught the swirling wind and flew high into the air, her hair also doing the same and floating above her head. The crystal began to float from her chest and unclipped from her necklace. She held out her hand just below the crystal like a handle was there. The crystal then glowed an intense white and a handle formed under it just inside of her grasp. She held it tightly and raised it above her head.
"Venus Solar Power, Make Up!" she screamed as the entire pen glowed white. She let go of it and laid her arm to her side. The pen radiated light and then burst into dozens of golden lights which formed into hearts, sticking all over her body and completely covering her. They all glowed an intense gold before shattering into a golden dust, out of which the new Sailor Venus slowly walked out. The dust swirled and concentrated into a brooch on her chest with a small depression in the middle of it, in which the crystal was located.
"Flashy entrance. Now let's see if there's any power behind it."
Minako didn't move. Her heart was still filled with the hatred for the daimon.
"Come on. Show me what this power can do."
Minako's fists tightened.
"You monster," she said in a low voice. "I'll make you pay." Her fists tightened more as sparks began to jump from her brooch.
"You think so? I doubt that, but show me how much power that crystal holds."
Minako held her arms straight out to each side and slowly bent her arms back towards the brooch.
"Venus Northern Lights!" she screamed as a golden beam surrounded by sparkles came from the brooch. The daimon tensed his body to take the blast. A shower a sparkles was the first to hit, but did little other than make the daimon a little warm. The beam closed in and made contact with the center of his chest, throwing him into a nearby building with a scream. He slowly stood up from the rubble. His body was slightly burnt and smoking.
"Ugh, what just hit me?" he said as he held his head. "You! How did you get that much power!? No senshi is supposed to have that kind of power!"
Minako held out her arms again for another blast.
"Venus Northern Lights!"
"No! You won't defeat me!" he screamed as he braced himself and fired his own blast. However, it only slowed her attack. The daimon looked on in fear as it approached. It made contact with the center of his chest again, throwing him back with the beam. The attack stayed on him for a few seconds and put a hole halfway into his chest before it stopped. Minako walked up to his lifeless body.
"Remember this, Naraku," she whispered. "You shall never win, and you will pay dearly and suffer for what you have done."
The daimon's body turned as black as coal in a few seconds and crumbled into dust, releasing a black cloud that flew away with a scream. She looked at the dust for a few more seconds before detransforming. The crystal reformed in front of her and clipped onto her necklace, and she walked back into the school.
"What happened?" a small boy asked.
"One of those monsters attacked," Minako explained, and the children let out a small gasp, "and Sailor Venus came and destroyed it."
"You mean Sailor V is back?" a little girl asked in excitement. Minako smiled and nodded.
"Yes, Sailor Venus is definitely back..."
