Part 12- The Room at the Temple
Meanwhile Fredricka had rejoined her friends and they were on their way to the Cherry Hill Temple where Diamond and Amethyst had found a room for them to stay in while they are searching for the unicorn. They had all powered down too so that they would attract the least amount of attention possible. The one that had been Sailor Star Black Pearl went up to Fredricka.
"A lot of help you were. We needed you and you just sat there! You have no right to be leader if you're going to just leave us all here to die." She had always made a point of voicing her opinion on who should be the leader.
"Galena! We don't know who the Sailor Scouts are and we certainly don't know if we can trust them. She was right not to transform, especially until we can figure out whether or not they are our enemies. We all have to be careful to not be seen by anyone while transforming." The girl that had been Sailor Star Diamond was scolding Galena.
"It's alright Veronica. Galena has a point. You needed my help and all I did was sit there." Fredricka spoke softly and sadly. She doubted whether or not she really should be leader almost as much as Galena did. The girl with the short red hair who had been Sailor Star Sapphire came over to her left and smiled at her.
"The Sailor Scouts will get in the way more than anything, and the other two will be history soon enough."
"Yeah, we'll get them real good!" The girl that had been Sailor Star Aquamarine had said walking up to her other side right before she tripped and fell.
"Thanks Shasa." She smiled at the girl who had been Sapphire. "And thank you, Maylin." She reached out to help her up. The girls were walking up to the temple. A short bald man in a white shirt and light blue pants came out and greeted them.
"Hello again Sir!" The girl that introduced herself as Sailor Star Amethyst was running towards him.
"Ah, Violet, Veronica, you're back and these must be the friends you spoke of. When you assured me one room was enough I didn't think there were so many of you. Are you sure you don't want a second room? I'd think one room will get rather cramped with the twelve of you living together in it." He smiled widely at all of the girls.
"One room is more than enough space for the twelve of us." Assured Veronica.
"If you don't mind my asking, but how will all of you girls fit in that one room together?" The man was looking rather puzzled.
"Well it's quite simple actually." Violet was quite pleased with herself for figuring out a solution to this problem. She was just waiting for someone to ask her about it. "I connected the doorway in the room that leads to the spare room to an inter-dimensional portal which then was a cinch to connect to a slipstream tunnel. Then I just had to pick several coordinates and then a distinguishing object with which will determine the particular coordinate that the slipstream will transport a person to." She is a thirteen year-old super genius that loves to show off, but can get a little carried away with her explanations. Violet sometimes forgot that the rest of the world didn't think like a genius.
"Uh, yeah…..could you repeat that…..a little slower maybe?" The poor old man was looking more confused than ever.
"Oh I'm so sorry. I sometimes forget that not everyone thinks like me. What I did was I connected that doorway to a tunnel that can connect two or more places that are really far away. Then I just have to figure out where that tunnel will lead and an object to stand as the key so the tunnel knows where to take you."
"Ok I think I actually understood what you said that time. Well have fun girls." He was grinning ear to ear because he was so proud of himself for being smart enough to understanding what she said.
"Thanks!" They all replied at once as they hurried off to go see the room. They all piled into the small room which contained a bed, a table, and a dresser. Fredricka, Maylin, Galena, and Shasa sat down on the bed, Violet got back to work setting up the slipstream tunnel to lead to twelve different rooms, and Veronica decided to go for a walk, while the rest sat down on the floor around the table and where ever they could find a place to sit. One by one she connected a room for each of them using each of their necklaces as the keys.
"I am going to go outside and draw some of the scenery around here." One of the younger girls said. She was the black haired girl that had been Sailor Star Garnet.
"I think I am going to join you, Lilka. Sitting outside staring at nature sounds rather good right about now." The red head got up and headed outside with Lilka. The two of them were sitting on the porch, Lilka drawing and her just admiring the scenery. She couldn't help getting a powerful feeling from this place. It wasn't just the unicorn either. She could feel the unicorn's presence on this planet, she could also feel the presence of the sorcerer, but there was another force here. Could it be the Sailor Scouts that she felt? Or was there something else here? Something frighteningly powerful was also here, but what or who was it, and why was it here?
