Sailor Strata Moon 3
Full Moon Sisters
I
do not own SM or RW in any way shape or form. Understood? Okay, read on! ^_^
While she was lost in her
dreams, Rowena was in a dark and starry place. It wasn't cold or frightening to
her at all. It was like she was in outer space, but it was in a building. She
was in a hall, the ceiling, the walls and the floor was black but covered in
stars. If she was in space, how could she stand on solid ground? Wouldn't she
be floating?
"Rowena--" she
heard a familiar voice.
"Who's there?"
she asked. Then shielded her eyes as a light beamed down the hall.
"Follow the
light," the voice said.
Rowena followed the light
as she was told. Before her was her friend, Luther. "Luther!" she
cried.
Luther was the advisor in
the castle. He used to be a warrior but when he lost his strength and got old,
he became a wizard. He wore blue, black and red robes and a warm smile. He had
a long white beard and he held a long golden staff with a purple orb on top
with the upturned crescent moon inside the orb. "Welcome, my child."
"Luther, where am I?
Am I dreaming?"
"Yes, but don't'
wake up just yet. I came to you in your dream to warn you."
"Warn me? About the
Soul Stealers, right?"
"Yes, my dear child.
I can't fight them with you but there is one thing I can do."
"Can you help my
friend Yuli?" she asked. "My sister needs new powers too!"
"I can help you so
you can help them."
"Eh?" Rowena
mumbled, "you fought the soul stealers once before."
"I've grown too old
child and I must stay here to guard the castle with your parents. Rowena, the
Soul Stealers are after the Soul of Space."
"They want Sailor
Pluto?!" Rowena cried.
"No, child. They
want you."
"Me? Why me? Sailor
Pluto is much more powerful!"
"Oh, dear child, you
don't understand your strength," Luther said. "Your mother is Sailor
Moon, your father, Rowen of the Strata. The Soul Stealers do not want the soul
of space and time or the soul of water or fire."
"But why did they
take Yuli's?" Rowena said.
"They are soul
stealers," he told her. "They'll take whatever soul they can get
until they get the soul of Space. Also known as the soul of life. If they get
yours, or your father's, they will become unstoppable."
"They're after me
and my father?" Rowena gasped, "oh no!"
"Your father is safe
with his armor, they won't be able to get to it." Luther explained.
"But you are still vulnerable. Even as Sailor Strata Moon you can still
lose your soul to them."
"How can I protect
myself?" she asked. "And my sister."
Luther held out his hand
and appeared a crystal-like orb with the kanji of life and the moon symbol.
"Take this."
"My father's
orb," Rowena commented.
"No, it's
yours," he corrected, "mended with the power of life and Strata from
your father and the power of the moon from your mother, you will be able to
call upon the armor of Strata Moon like your father can wear the armor of
Strata."
"Luther," she
held her hands out as the orb flew to it. "Thank you."
"You cannot lose
your soul to them, child of life." Luther advised. "Now that they are
in their weak stage, we can stop them. They don't have too many souls. But once
they have your soul, all will be lost."
"Life," she
whispered, "is that why Rini was saved, because she was wearing the jewel
of life?"
"Yes. The jewel of
life can protect someone from the soul stealers." Luther told her.
"Life--"
"Must go on,"
she finished for him.
"Clever girl," Luther
smiled.
"What about my
sister?" Rowena asked.
"It's good that you
care for your sister," Luther said.
"Just because she's
my half sister doesn't mean I don't' care. We're still sisters."
"Remember that two
halves are strong as a whole," Luther advised. "That is all I can
tell you."
He started fading and
floating backwards.
"Wait Luther,"
she started to run after him, "don't go! How will I find the soul
stealers? Two halves are stronger as a whole, what does that mean? Come back, Luther,
don't go! Tell me more! Luther!"
"I'll come back to
see you in your dreams," Luther said, "good-bye, child of life."
Luther disappeared, the
light grew dark, the stars vanished and Rowena was alone.
"Luther!"
Rowena cried as she sat up in bed. "Luther, wait." She put her hand
to her head and wiped the sweat away. In her other hand she felt something and
she raised it to her eyes. She held the orb of life and moon. "Thank you, Luther.
Thank you."
*********************************************************
Rini stayed close by
Yuli's bedside, "this is all my fault." She whispered, "Yuli,
I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have gotten so mad about a silly calendar. It was
actually pretty unique." She held his hand and was about to place his
forehead with a light kiss when she heard Darien and Mia talking in the next
room.
They were getting closer
but she didn't know it. Rini felt that she should listen in on their
conversation and she put her ear to the wall.
"Mia, are you
okay?" Darien asked, taking her hand.
"Just a little
worried about Yuli as all," she admitted with a smile, "I've become
like his big sister. While we were fighting the evil dynasty I was the only one
there for him since his parents were gone. But he'll be fine."
"Of course he
will," Darien said, "Rini cares a lot about him. We can stop the soul
stealers, no problem."
"Yeah," Mia
nodded, "I'm sure he's used to this danger. It's Rini that I'm more
worried about."
"What do you
mean?" he questioned.
"Haven't you noticed
how she's been acting since what happened to Yuli?" Mia asked, "she's
blaming herself. It's not her fault."
"That sounds like
Rini. I guess she gets that from Serena," Darien said.
Mia let go of his hand
and sat down on a chair. "Darien, I've got something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"We've gotten closer
lately, surely everyone has noticed it." Mia said, "I'm afraid what
it might do to Rini though."
"Mia--" he stepped
forward.
"Please let me
finish," she told him, "when I saw you in the rain, you looked so
sad. Like you've lost something."
"I guess you can say
that."
"I knew what
happened between you and Serena. Because I knew how Rowen felt about her. He
didn't want to mess things up by letting her know but I told him that he should
go and tell her."
"You're not blaming
yourself are you?"
"Course not,"
she said, "when you care for someone you should tell them. How else will
they now? Darien, I care a lot about you. I knew you would be hurt. That's why
I came here."
"I thought you came
so you can see the Ronins again," Darien said.
"I wanted to see
them too, of course. But it wasn't them I was concerned about. I'm, falling for
you."
Rini couldn't believe
what she was hearing. She walked out of the room and stood by the door, not
quite sure what to do. When she finally got her guts, she opened the door and
found Darien and Mia holding each other.
"Ooops," she
mumbled.
"Rini," Darien
muttered as he and Mia pulled away.
"Why?" she
asked lightly then raised her voice, "WHY!?"
"Listen to me Rini,
your mother chose to be with Rowen." Darien explained. "You knew I
was upset. Mia was there for me when I was lonely."
"That's nice, but
what are you trying to do?" she demanded. "Make me go away?!"
Darien gasped and
furrowed his eyebrows that she would even think of a thing. He was about to
tell her it wasn't true when Mia stepped forward.
"You know that's not
true, Rini," Mia said, "it's very often that people can become more
than just friends. It's nothing planned, it just happens. Your parents still
love you even though they decided to be with different people."
"Mia, it's not that
I don't like you or anything," Rini said, "but, this might change the
future. I might not be born. I probably won't even wake up the next morning!
What's supposed to happen to me?!" she pointed her thumb into her chest.
"Pluto has changed
time so that you're still able to live," Darien said. "You can still
go to the future and Serena and I will still be there like you remember it.
Nothing will change."
"I didn't know that.
How come Sailor Pluto never told me?"
"I guess we didn't
want to confuse you," Darien said.
"You see,
Rini?" Mia said. "You'll still be Darien and Serena's child."
"Mia, could you do
something for me?" Rini asked.
"Sure."
"When we save
Yuli," Rini began, "I want you to go back to your world and take him
with you.
"Rini, you can't ask
Mia something like that!" Darien objected.
"No, Darien, it's
okay," Mia raised her hand up at him and looked back at Rini, "Is
that what you really want?"
"Yes, I just don't
want anything like that to happen to Yuli again." She tightened her fists
as she looked at the carpet. "I'll never be able to forgive myself!"
"Before I left my
home," Mia said, "Yuli practically begged me to take him with me. You
know why?"
Rini shook her head.
"He wanted to see
you again." She answered, "I'd thought he'd like to stay with his
parents but he wanted to see you again. He missed you. You became his best
friend."
"He's very important
to me too. That's why I think he'll be safer at his home. Please, Mia, promise
me that you'll take him with you."
"Okay," Mia
said, "but you'll have to be the one to tell him. I can't do it for you."
Rini sniffed, "I
see. Thanks, Mia."
"Rini, I need to
speak to you," Rowena walked up, said a quick hello to Mia and Darien and
tugged on Rini's arm. "Come on."
When Rini and Rowena were
out of the room, Darien walked close to Mia and put his hand on her shoulder,
"why'd you do that? I can't just let you leave."
"She thinks highly
of Yuli Darien. He cares about her too." She smiled and folded her arms,
"don't worry, Yuli will never agree to come back."
************************************
Rowena took Rini outside.
"What, Rowena?"
Rini asked.
"I had a dream. When
I woke up, this was in my hand." She reached her hand into her pocket and
pulled out the crystal.
"That's
beautiful," Rini said.
"I think it can give
you new powers."
"You sure?"
Rini asked.
Rowena shrugged, "I
can call upon the armor of Strata-Moon with it. And it has both the symbols of
life and moon. It's worth a try. We should transform and try it."
"Okay---Moon Cosmic
Dream Action!"
"Moon Strata
Power!"
Sailor Mini Moon stood in
front of her, "well, what are you waiting for?" she asked
impatiently, "we have to save Yuli!"
"Come on, let me
think!" Sailor Strata Moon snapped. "I've never done this
before!" Rowena took a breath and then raised her orb between her and Mini
Moon, "alright, repeat after me. Moon Life Soul Power!"
"Moon Life Soul
Power!"
Their tiara's vanished
for a while and their golden upturned crescents upon their foreheads took
place. They closed their eyes and a light came from Rowena's crescent, to the
orb and to Mini Moon's crescent. Her light pink boots became a deeper pink her
white skirt with gold and pink stripes was added with a dark blue one the shirt
flap was a deep pink. The red bows changed to lavender. And a long pink scepter
appeared in front of her with a blue heart shaped ball on top and a golden half
shaped moon, similar to Sailor Strata Moon's. Her choker was deep pink with a
gold heart and a golden crescent moon inside.
"You are no longer
Sailor Mini Moon," Sailor Strata Moon said, "for now on, you are
Sailor Neo Moon." (Doesn't that sound much better than "Sailor Mini
Moon?!")
"Sailor Neo Moon,
not bad." She nodded, "thanks Sailor Strata Moon."
They heard some commotion
in the house. Sailor Neo Moon was about to ask what was going on, but Sailor
Strata Moon advised to wait and just listen.
"There's something
terrible going on!" Luna told everyone, "People are falling down on
the street. They are losing their souls!"
"We have to stop
them!" Serena cried. "Where are these soul stealers?"
"Hey, do you see
that over there?" Ami pointed out the window, "isn't that where the
museum used to be?"
"What is
that?!" Lita gasped.
"I've never seen
anything like that before," Ami commented.
"I feel an evil
presence coming from it," Raye muttered. "It can't be good."
What Ami was pointing at
looked like a giant red tower, shaped like a soul stone.
"Let's go,"
Mina said.
"Should we take
Rowena and Rini with us?" Rowen asked.
"I think Rini should
stay with Yuli," Serena replied. "I don't want her to get caught up
in this."
"How could she--!"
Sailor Neo Moon muttered.
"Shh," Sailor
Strata Moon shushed her with her lips.
"Come on, scouts,
we've got work to do! Moon Cosmic Dream Action!"
"Mercury Crystal
Power!"
"Mars Crystal
Power!"
"Jupiter Crystal
Power!"
"Venus Crystal
Power!"
"Armor of Wildfire,
Tao Jin!"
"Armor of Hardrock,
Tao Gi!"
"Armor of Halo, Tao
Chi!"
"Armor of Torrent,
Tao Shin!"
"Armor of Strata,
Tao Inochi!"
The Sailors and Ronins
began walking to the tower.
"Let's follow
them," Sailor Strata Moon whispered to Sailor Neo Moon, "but be
careful. I know why Serena doesn't want us to come with them. She doesn't want
anything to happen to us because we're her future daughters."
"But Sailor Strata
Moon, we're sailor scouts too, you know!" Sailor Neo Moon barked.
"Yes, I know,"
Sailor Strata Moon said, "that's why we have to be quiet. If something
happens to them, we're their only hope. They might be walking into a
trap."
Sailor Strata Moon and
Sailor Neo Moon followed them, but kept enough distance so they wouldn't be
seen. Sometimes Sailor Moon would look behind her.
"What's wrong?"
Rowen asked.
"I feel like we're
being followed," She answered.
"Me too," Mars
added, "These monsters want our souls!"
They kept on walking to
the tower and there were many people lying around unconscious. Sailor Moon
sighed and walked up the steps first and opened the doors. "Let's
go."
As they walked all the
way in, a force field covered the whole tower so no one could get in and no one
could get out. They started to walk deep into the tower. They didn't' see
anyone inside. It was empty and then everything went dark and they heard
someone laughing.
"Welcome, to the
Soul Stealer's domain!" a loud voice welcomed in a not-so-welcome manner,
"would you like the Soul Stealing or the Non Soul Stealing section?"
"Show
yourself!" Sailor Moon demanded.
From the shadows came a
woman dressed in black, followed by two soul stealers. By her feet, she had
some kind of dark animal, like a black panther that would fade in and out. It
growled at Whiteblaze. The woman had long white hair and she kept a piece of it
in front of her left breast. Her dress had long sleeves with a thread that came
to her middle fingers as a ring. Her dress also had a long slit on the right.
Three thin black pieces of fabric from the chest area of her dress and to a choker.
"I am Ninaria."
"Ninaria?"
Sailor Moon wrinkled her nose, "I've never heard of you."
"Yes," she
said, "ruler of the soul stealing empire! My servants are the soul
stealers and your souls are what we seek!" Without warning, ten golden
boards shot out of the ground and put bands over their hands and ankles so they
could not move. "But before we do that, I want to look into your
soul." She smiled nastily. "I like to play with my victims before I
make them suffer!" Ninaria tilted her head back in a crazy laugh.
********************************************
"Something's
bad," Sailor Strata Moon said, "we have to get in there and save
them!" she ran to the tower but the force field kept her from getting any
closer to it, surging a lot of electricity in her.
"Sailor Strata
Moon!" Neo Moon cried. She caught her before she fell down. "Are you
alright?"
"Good thing we
stayed behind," Sailor Strata Moon winced. She pulled herself.
"There's a force field that is keeping us from entering the tower. I could
probably break it with my magic moon scepter."
"Worth a shot,"
Sailor Neo Moon said.
Sailor Strata Moon held
her magic moon scepter in front of her, "Moon Beam Shock Wave!" The
waves hit the force field and it's power drained a little bit but it did not
dematerialize.
"Here, let me
try," Sailor Neo Moon raised her own magic moon scepter in front of her,
"Moon Beam Rose Aim!" Beams of roses hit the force field, made it
smaller but still, not much happened.
"Sugar Hearts to
Roses," Sailor Strata Moon groaned and shook her head.
"My father is Tuxedo
Mask, you know," Sailor Neo Moon said sharply.
********************************
"Hmm," Ninaria
murmured as she walked across the sailor scouts. Sailor Mercury looked down at
the floor, thinking of a strategy.
Must be someway out of
here, she thought
to herself.
"You'll never get
out of here," Ninaria said, walking to Sailor Mercury said. "Whatever
little plan you think of I will be able to see it."
"You can see what
I'm thinking?" Sailor Mercury asked.
"That's right. I can
see into your mind and your soul right now. I can see when you were swimming
and you did not try hard enough. Tell me, is it because you are afraid to win
because you don't want to make others mad that they lost, to you?"
Sailor Mercury closed her
eyes.
"It's not true,
Sailor Mercury, don't' listen to her!" Sai cried.
"You're afraid your
friends will be ashamed of you," Ninaria went on. "They never would
have expected you to do something non-academic or different. Like the time you
thought of lyrics for that songwriter. You didn't think they were good enough,
did you now?"
Sailor Mercury remained
quiet. She wasn't sure what to say. She tried to clear her mind so Ninaria
would shut up.
"You're trying to
clear your mind but that won't work," Ninaria got closer, "I can see
into your soul, your soul of wisdom and water."
"You may see into my
soul," Sailor Mercury raised her head, "but you don't own it! It's
scientifically impossible!"
Sai cheered for her,
"you tell her, Sailor Mercury!"
The other Sailor Scouts
told her to go on.
"Silence!"
Ninaria ordered then grasped Sailor Mercury's chin with her long fingers.
"My power is stronger than science. Nothing is impossible, you should have
figured that out already, if you really are smart like people think you
are!" She walked on to the next scout in line, Sailor Mars. "Aw, the
soul of fire. Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?"
"You are so
evil!" Sailor Mars growled, "just wait until I get a charm on
you!"
"Hard to do that
with your hand strapped to this board, isn't it?" Ninaria teased. "I
can see that in your soul you have visions. You can sense evil and you are a
priestess in a temple. You've foreseen what the Sovereign of Silence would do
to your world. I bet you didn't see this coming, did you?"
"I wish I did,"
Sailor Mars said.
"I've prevented you
from having dreams so you would be surprised. Aren't you surprised?"
"Mad is more like
it!" Sailor Mars snarled.
"Leave her
alone!" Ryo cried.
"I will have you
soul as well, but there is a stronger soul that I seek," she walked on to
Sailor Jupiter, who was breathing hard. "Is it too hot in here for you,
soul of thunder and lightning?"
"I'm going to shock
you so bad until lightning is coming out of your ears!" Sailor Jupiter
cried.
"Temper, temper. My,
you're just as bad as the soul of fire!"
"She's even
tougher," Mars commented, "don't make her mad!"
"I'm already mad,
Mars," Jupiter hissed.
"I can see in your
soul," Ninaria walked closer to Jupiter until her face was inches away.
"Aw, I see a tragic past. You seem strong on the outside but you're weak
on the inside."
"You're wrong!"
Sage yelled.
"Am I?" Ninaria
said, "you've lived alone for a long time. You never told your friends
because they'll think you're weak."
"Shut up,"
Jupiter whispered.
"Your parents were
killed in a plane crash. Is that why you fear planes so?"
"Stop it!" she
shouted.
Sage gasped,
"Jupiter, is it true?"
"Do you know how the
plane crashed?" Ninaria asked, "It was hit by lightning!"
"Nnooooooooooooo!"
Jupiter screamed as her eyes filled up with tears, "it's not true, it's
not true!"
"Ironic that it was
lightning that killed your parents and your powers come from thunder and
lightning." (AN: Lita's parents were killed in a plane crash. It probably
wasn't lightning that brought the plane down, maybe it was actually just engine
problems. But I thought that lightning would add some more, well,
"oomph."
Jupiter shook her head,
"stop it!" Ninaria played a trick on Jupiter to make it look like she
was on a plane all by herself and the plane was going down. It seemed so real.
"The plane's going to crash!"
"It's not real,
Sailor Jupiter!" Sage cried, "listen to me!"
"Sage, I-I'm scared!"
Sailor Jupiter sobbed. I've never been scared before. I've never been week
before.
"Now, who's
shocked?" Ninaria demanded.
Sailor Jupiter lowered
her head down to let her tears fall.
Ninara walked on to
Sailor Venus. She smiled wickedly at Ninaria, "what a beautiful
soul," she commented, touching Venus' face and hair. "I'm
jealous," she said. "The soul of beauty and love."
"If you think you'll
take my soul to make you beautiful," Venus muttered and her lower
muttering turned into a high scream, "you're wrong! Nothing can make you
beautiful!"
"Ouch," Kento
grumbled.
"Oh, you hurt
me," Ninaria said, taking her hand away and putting it to her chest,
"I guess your beauty is only skin deep, soul of love. Ah, yes...you were
famous for a while your own video games, movies and comic books. But it wasn't
enough, was it? You wanted someone to love you? You think you had it all, what
about your problems with your mother and police?" (AN: I've also read on a
SM site that Venus has problems with her mom and police.)
"What?" Kento
gasped.
Venus pretended not to be
affected by her remark, "so? I didn't have much luck with that kind of
stuff. Many people don't."
"Oh, so that doesn't
bother you? Your life is just carefree, isn't it?" Ninaria circled around
Sailor Venus and she put her lips to her ear, "but how do you feel knowing
that you're cursed?" (I've also read that Sailor Venus was cursed and she
wouldn't find a happy relationship.
"Not true!"
Sailor Venus barked.
"It isn't? Weren't
you cursed in your comic books?" Ninaria asked, "someone put a curse
on you," (I'm not sure who, but I wish I did.) "Do you know about the
myth of the Goddess of Love and Beauty? One day a very beautiful woman was
drifting along on the sea on a giant lilypad." (I'm trying to be accurate
as possible on the myth. It's in some book I've got. Maybe it really was a cloud;
I'm not sure what it was.) "She caught the eyes of gods and humans alike.
But she was in numerous relationships. She just wouldn't be satisfied. No man
could make her happy. And that's the curse you bear, soul of love and
beauty!" she pointed her long finger at her, "you will never have a
happy relationship!"
"It's a lie!"
Sailor Venus shouted, "I will be happy!"
"She's not
cursed!" Kento snapped, "I can make her happy, I love her!"
"Do you?"
Ninaria grumbled. "Ah, it won't matter because I will have all your
souls!" she looked at Sailor Moon, "oh, I've forgotten the soul of
the moon." She walked up to her. "I can see in your soul you have
problems making decisions. You are clumsy and you also have problems with
relationships."
"Hey, don't' you see
that there's come handsome young men here?" Sailor Moon demanded.
"Haven't you noticed that they care for us?"
"Tell me, soul of
moon, tell me, who goes first? I'll let you pick," she nodded to the
sailor scouts and the ronin warriors. "Ohh, I see that you have conflict
with the soul of fire. Should she go first?" She walked up to Sailor Mars
and held her hand over Sailor Mars' face. "Don't be frightened, this won't
take long!" she started to take Sailor Mars' soul.
"No, stop!"
Sailor Moon shouted, "leave her alone! Take me instead!"
************************************
"There's got to be a
way in," Sailor Neo Moon grumbled, "Moon Beam Rose Aim!"
Sailor Strata Moon stood
and watched. She remembered what Luther had said, "Two halves are stronger
as a whole." She whispered. Then she looked at her scepter. "That's
it!"
"What is?" Neo
Moon asked.
Sailor Strata Moon stood
beside her. "If we do it together, we might have a chance!"
Neo Moon looked at the
half moons on the scepters. She smiled, "okay, let's do it!" They put
the ends of the half moons together, took each other's hands, looked at the
tower, "1-2-3"
"Full Moon Glow
Penetration!" The two halve moons began glowing together and then they
became a full moon. It shot a blinding glow to the force field, penetrating the
whole thing. It spread out and it got smaller until it broke.
"Yes!" they
jumped up and embraced each other, "let's go!" They entered the tower.
Someone was standing in front of them but their face was hidden.
"Who are you?"
Sailor Neo Moon demanded. The person walked into view and Sailor Neo Moon
gasped. "No, no, it can't be! Is it really you?"
"Of course it's
me," Yuli said.
"I thought you were
gone forever!" Sailor Neo Moon cried and ran to his arms.
Sailor Strata Moon felt
something was wrong. Why would Yuli be here if he was back at the house with
Darien and Mia? "No, Sailor Neo Moon!" She knew it wasn't him for some reason. She just knew.
"What?" she
stopped right in front of Yuli and turned her head.
"That's not Yuli,
get away from him…" she gasped and her eyes went wide, "it's a soul
stealer."
Sailor Neo Moon screamed
and backed up as the dark creature turned back to it's usual form. It was the
same soul stealer that had attacked Yuli. "You, you," Sailor Neo Moon
snarled, "It was you that hurt Yuli!" She bared her teeth, "I
will make you pay!" she ran to punch the creature and he went invisible.
"Look out, Sailor
Neo Moon!" Sailor Strata Moon demanded. She saw something in the creature's
forehead. It was Yuli's soul stone. She held her scepter up; "Moon Beam
Shock Wave!" she hit the creature in the head and it became mortal and was
unable to turn invisible. "Take the soul stone, Neo Moon!" she
demanded. She went behind the creature and jumped on it's back, trying to take
out the stone. The creature was growling and circling around. "Help
me!"
Sailor Neo Moon took the
end of her scepter and used it as a pick to try to get the stone out.
"There's got to be an easier way!" she grunted.
The soul stealer shook
them off. "I will have your souls as well!"
"What do we do,
Sailor Strata Moon?" Sailor Neo Moon asked. "There's no way we can
get that soul stone out. It's in too tight!"
"We'll get that soul
stone out if we have to cut the soul stealer's head off!" Sailor Strata
Moon came to her feet and she felt some unexplainable power inside of her. Waves
of blue, gold, and white were going up her body. She ran up to the soul stealer
with a loud scream, turning her scepter around. It turned into a sword and she
stabbed through the soul stealer's head to pick out the stone. She pulled the
stone out from the forehead and the soul stealer fell down and disappeared.
"Wow," Sailor
Neo Moon said, "I've never seen anything like that before."
"Yeah," Sailor
Strata Moon muttered, "well, you've seen nothing yet. It gets worse."
They could hear the
sailor scouts and they knew they were trouble.
"You would give up
your soul to save hers?" Ninaria whispered. "Why do you think I want
your soul? What is your power?"
"Just leave them
alone!" Sailor Moon cried, "What is it you want?"
"I want the soul of
space."
"Pluto's?"
"The soul of life
and space," she explained. "It has great power! And I can feel it in
this room." She turned to Rowen, "and it's coming from you, pretty
boy!"
"We have to stop
them!" Sailor Neo Moon shouted in a whisper to Sailor Strata Moon. She was
about to jump in and Sailor Strata Moon pulled her back.
"We can't do
anything without some sort of plan!" she looked around the corner and saw
Ninaria standing dangerously close to Rowen. "Father," she clenched
her teeth, "heck with the plan, let's just get her!"
"You have the soul I
want," Ninaria said, removing his helmet and running her finger around his
face. Her long red fingernail nearly scratched his face.
"Get away from him,
leave him alone!" Sailor Moon ordered.
"Luna P Blinding
Light!" Sailor Neo Moon threw her Luna P ball up in the air and a bright light
filled the room. Ninaria shielded her eyes.
"What's that?"
she ordered. "Who has come through my force field?"
"We did!"
Sailor Neo Moon shouted. "Did you think your pathetic little force field
could keep us out? I don't think so! We are the Full Moon Sisters!"
"Sailor Soldiers who
fight for the souls of people!" Sailor Strata Moon added, "We stand
for Love and Justice!"
"I am Sailor Neo
Moon!" Sailor Neo Moon declared.
"And I am Sailor
Strata Moon!" Sailor Strata Moon shouted.
"And in the name of
the future moon," they said together, "We will punish you!"
To Be Continued! Oooh, Cliffhanger! I
was going to finish it all in this chapter but it was getting too long. I'll
probably get it done in the next chapter, "Soul of life."
