Chapter 13 people! Are you excited? 'Cause I'm not...
Anyway, so how was your guys' Christmas and New Year? Mine was awesome!
Sorry (Not Sorry!) about the Cliffhanger last chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon, but I did have a dream last night...
Right Where We Left Off Last Chapter
Amber raced out the room, down the stairs, and to the front door. She expected to see something like, Mrs. Hudson fighting the person. What Amber didn't expect was to see Mrs. Hudson laying down on ground, in the rain, and a weird creature standing over her, grinning.
Amber swallowed as the creature looked at her. "W-what are you?"
The creature grinned evilly at her. "I am a Water Demon. This is the second time that you have seen me, Amber. Don't you remember me?" Amber shook her head. "That is a shame. I was the one in your pool."
Amber's eyes widened. "You were the one who wanted to drown me?"
The Water Demon cackled at her. "I did not want to drown you, I was attempting to get you through the portal; I did it on my Master's orders."
Amber narrowed her eyes. "Who is your Master?"
The Water Demon smiled mockingly at her. "You shall find that out, because you are coming with me. We can do this the easy way or the hard way."
Amber stared at the Water Demon with wide eyes. "I'm not going anywhere with you!"
The Water Demon grinned. "The hard way it is." Suddenly, it lunged at her, claws coming from its hands. Amber screamed and lunged out of the way, falling onto the hard, wet ground.
The Water Demon walked slowly towards her, as if a lion stalking its prey. It grinned at her.
Amber swallowed and sat up, slowly moving away.
Then, before she could react, the Water Demon lunged at her again, this time grabbing her arm.
Amber screamed, trying to pull away, but the Water Demon just laughed and pulled her closer, grabbing her other arm and roughly turning her around.
As the Water Demon held on tightly to her arms, Amber hummed nervously and her eyes widened. There, having appeared in midair, was something she recognised. It was the purple and black circle from the bottom of her pool.
The Water Demon chuckled and tried walking her towards the circle; Amber resisted, trying to stand still or back up. Tears started to form in the corners of her eyes from the effort and in desperation.
Unexpectedly, with a powerful shove from the Water Demon, Amber was jerked forward, getting even closer to the circle. She screamed, tears running down her face.
Suddenly, as Amber screamed, the powerful energy in different shades of blue appeared around her and started to slowly circle her.
"Not this again!" the Water Demon screeched.
With surprisingly speed, the energy burst to the sky.
While the energy was in the sky, Amber medium-green eyes slowly started to turn blue; the blue sections in her hair were slowly taking over the blonde and was getting shorter.
As the energy was in the air for longer than a minute, the heavy rain turned into drizzle until stopping completely.
Amber stopped screaming, her voice now hoarse, and her tears dried. The energy calmed down and started to disappear from the sky.
Amber gasped loudly when she shoved again by the Water Demon towards the circle.
"Nice light show," the Water Demon said, snarling. "Now let's go!"
However, before it could give one last powerful shove to push Amber through the portal, the two of them heard snapping and someone saying,
"Penetrating the darkness of night... Streaking through the atmosphere... Resounding truth, I am one of three shooting stars. Sailor Star Maker! Sailor Star Light, stage on!"
A bit Before, With Taiki
Taiki sighed as he looked out the window of the average-sized house he was currently staying. He couldn't get Amber's words out of his head.
"She was so excited and you just crushed her spirit."
"It's raining and he is hopeless and depressing."
"I thought you were different. I guess I was wrong."
"It doesn't matter anymore."
'What does she mean by she thought I was different?' Taiki thought. 'Do I even want to know?'
It was still raining heavily outside.
'Yes,' Taiki thought again. 'I do want to know. I should go to Mrs. Hudson's house!'
Taiki stood up from the couch and went to the door. He put on a thin rain coat, running shoes, and grabbed an umbrella.
"Where are you going?" he heard a voice from behind him ask. He turned around to see Yaten standing there.
"I'm going to Mrs. Hudson's house to see the comet," Taiki said, staring at Yaten.
Yaten briefly glanced out the window. "It's still raining. You said that it would be hard to see."
Taiki shrugged. "I guess that I should have some faith that the rain may stop."
Yaten sighed. "Just please, be careful Taiki."
Taiki raised a brow in confusion. "Against what? I have my star yell just in case I need to defend myself and my attacks are getting stronger." Taiki looked outside. "I should get going now," he said opening the door. "Goodbye Yaten." he opened the umbrella and shut the door.
Yaten sighed as he said a loud to himself, "I'm not worried about physical attacks, Taiki; I worry about the emotional and mental attacks you might get from Amber."
Almost at Mrs. Hudson's House, With Taiki
4237.
Taiki walked on the sidewalk, his umbrella open above his head, thinking about if it would ever stop raining.
4240.
He wondered if Amber would think differently of him now.
4243.
He was almost at Mrs. Hudson's house. Just one more house and he'd be there.
4246. Finally, Mrs. Hudson's hous-
"AHH!" Taiki froze that sounded like Amber. His eyes widened when he looked up. It was the blue energy beam. It was like before, radiating only fear and panic. It must be coming from Amber.
Taiki grabbed his star yell and yelled, "Maker Star Power!"
After the transformation was done, Sailor Star Maker ran down the driveway to Mrs. Hudson's house. She stared in horror at what she saw.
Mrs. Hudson was laying on the the ground, unconscious. Amber was screaming, with a blue energy beam coming from her. She was being held by a creature. In front of Amber and the creature was a purple and black circle, which she assumed was a portal that lead to somewhere.
Sailor Star Maker climbed a tree close to her, careful to make sure that neither noticed her. As she got a closer look, she noticed that Amber's hair was completely blue and had gotten shorter.
Amber stopped screaming and was breathing deeply. Sailor Star Maker noticed briefly that it was no longer raining
She saw the creature push Amber forward and heard her gasp. Then the creature said, "Nice light show. Now let's go!"
'Time to intervene,' Sailor Star Maker thought.
She snapped her fingers and saw the creature stop. It looked up to where the Starlight was standing.
"Penetrating the darkness of night... Streaking through the atmosphere... Resounding truth, I am one of three shooting stars. Sailor Star Maker! Sailor Star Light, stage on!" Sailor Star Maker yelled, jumping down from her spot in the tree.
The creature scoffed and rolled its eyes. "Great, a Sailor Soldier. I guess Master will have to wait a minute while I take her down." It pushed Amber to the ground, who groaned when she hit it.
The creature narrowed its eyes. It lifted its hand and a large bubble of water appeared, then turned to ice. The creature threw the ice at Sailor Star Maker, who dodged. It made an ugly expression, and continued throwing ice ball after ice ball.
After a few minutes of this, Sailor Star Maker got tired. She jumped as high as she could and yelled her attack, "Star Gentle Uterus!"
The creature, not expecting it, got hit head on. It screamed in pain and slid across the ground.
Sailor Star Maker moved to stand in front of Amber, who was still laying on the ground, drifting in and out of consciousness.
After a minute of laying on the ground, it sat up. The creature looked at Amber.
"I'll be back for you another time," it said, then stood up. It walked over to the purple and black portal and walked through it, the portal disappearing after it.
Sailor Star Maker turned around to look at Amber. She leaned down and sat her up. "Are you alright?"
Amber's eyes slowly opened. "Um, I think so." Amber looked confused. "I've seen you before. You're the one who pulled me out of my pool, aren't you?"
She nodded. "Yes, I am. What's that blue mark on your forehead?"
Amber looked even more confused. "What blue mark? You asked the same thing last time."
The starlight sighed. "It's a strange blue symbol that appears on your forehead."
Amber narrowed her eyes, shaking her head. "No, you're wrong. Thank you for saving me, but I think you should go now."
Once again, Sailor Star Maker sighed. "Alright. Are you sure you'll be good?"
Now, Amber looked annoyed. "Yes, I'll be fine."
"Goodbye," The Starlight said, stood up, jumped into the tree, and left.
Sailor Star Maker let go of her transformation and turned back into Taiki. He picked up his umbrella and pretended to be just arriving.
When he saw Amber again, she was trying to awaken Mrs. Hudson and her hair was slowly growing longer; the blonde starting to overtake the blue.
"Hello Amber," Taiki said, walking up to her.
Amber looked up from Mrs. Hudson, who was slowly starting to wake up, and looked at Taiki. She half-smiled. "Hello Taiki. You actually came?"
Taiki smiled at her. "I decided to have faith that the rain would stop. It looks like it did." Taiki looked at Mrs. Hudson. "What happened here?"
Amber shook her head. "It doesn't matter. It's over now, hopefully."
Taiki remembered the words the creature had spoken: "I'll be back for you another time."
He wondered if it was actually over.
"Mrs. Hudson, are you alright?" he heard Amber ask.
He heard a groan in response and a, "I will be Amber."
He saw Amber smile. "I know what'll cheer you up!"
"What?" Mrs. Hudson asked, confused.
"Look who showed up!" Amber exclaimed.
Mrs. Hudson looked and saw him. "Taiki! You came!"
Taiki smiled. "I decided to listen to Amber and have faith that the rain would stop."
Mrs. Hudson looked around. "Well, it looks like the rain did stop and we still have twenty minutes before the comet should appear. Let's go wait." She stood up, brushed off her clothing, and walked through the open door.
Amber went to follow her, but was stopped by Taiki. "What did you mean by you thought I was different?"
He got a smile in response. "It doesn't matter. I was wrong."
Taiki nodded, wanting to know, but decided to leave it alone.
For now.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
