Author's note: I had originally decided to write this as two separate parts, but when I wrote the sequel, it was a bit shorter than I thought it would be so I combined it all as one. Also, a friend of mine is doing art for my story. I'll upload some pictures she has done and probably include links in the next chapter. I hope you like how it's coming! - Seiya
Chapter 3 - I Live Only For You
A week has passed since Katalyst had been defeated. In that time, Lenny, Kat, and Colin have grown closer. Aika has helplessly watched as his partner constantly leaves him alone to ponder their plans. Fed up, he asks his superiors for some assistance. They tell him that someone will be joining him from the future...
It was a rather quiet night in Tokyo. The stars were shining brightly in the clear sky. That was, until a red circle appeared in the sky, followed by a young man falling out of it...
"Ahh!" he cried as he fell, landing on his face. Austin appeared in a stream of cherry blossoms and floated to the ground. "Well, they told me you'd be coming to visit, but I didn't expect you to make such a smashing entrance Cale."
"My name is Stephen in this world, Aika. Get it right."
"And mine is Austin."
"Hm... so where's Akura?"
"Oh? Lenny's out for the night or something with his friends..."
"Friends? Lenny? My God, we're so different here..."
"Don't ask... anyway, I am glad you came. I've been having suspicions about Akura... these people he's always with. I think he's forgetting about our mission here."
"I'll watch him for you."
"Would you? That's kind of you. So what are they thinking of us so far?" Austin asked, looking up to the once again clear sky.
"They're not content or displeased. It's too soon." Stephen replied, also looking upward.
Colin and Lenny were returning from the mall to Colin's apartment. As they walked down the street, Lenny looked at Colin and said, smiling, "I had such a great time tonight!", as he latched himself onto Colin's arm. Colin looked down at the boy attached to his arm and smiled. "I'm glad. So did I." he replied.
"Had a great time doing what?" a boy said, walking out of an alley. Lenny blinked and quickly detached from his friend. "Who are you?" Colin asked, looking at the rather tall boy with short blond hair and a smirk that could stop a clock. "I'm Austin... Lenny's brother." he said, glaring at Colin, then looking at Lenny. "I came to take you home... we've been worried about you." he said, looking concerned. Taking Lenny's hand, Austin began to walk back from where he came from. "Sorry Colin, I have to leave you now... I'll see you tomorrow." Lenny said as they walked into the alley. "Bye... hey wait!" Colin said as he saw them leave his view. He dashed toward them, "I forgot to..." he began, looking into the alley, where he saw nothing. "Where'd they go? ..." he thought.
"What is this KID doing here Aika?!" Akura said, as he noticed Cale.
"This kid is here to help with what you've not been doing." Aika replied.
"I missed you too Akura, really." Cale replied, bitterly.
"Yeah well, I don't need your help. My last plan went perfectly. If it weren't for those Sailor Soldiers, ..." Akura was cut off by Aika.
"We've have had that girl as a servant!" He snobbishly replied.
"It's more than you've done!" Akura replied.
"Now, now, children. I'm here to help out. Not watch you two bitch at each other all night." Cale said, smiling. "Thanks for asking me here too, Aika."
Akura's eyes glew red. "You think I'm doing that bad that I needed his help?" he growled.
Aika took Akura's hand and kissed him. "Smile cutie, we can use a little help. He's right, we should stop fighting." Akura held Aika tightly and smiled. "You're right."
"Now, let's go back to our disguise, and get a place to live so we don't seem so out of the ordinary." Cale said.
"I've gotten one already." Akura said, "So my friends think. It's in the nearby forest. Where Nephrite's was. Same place actually, I just wanted to spruce it up a little."
"I'll do it for you. It can be our base of operations, I guess you could say." Cale nodded.
A girl sat in front of a fire, chanting quietly to herself...
"Sun... moon... sky... earth... fire... air... water... rock..." Rei said, her eyes tightly shut, chanting quietly. "Show me who this new enemy is..." she continued, the fire growing brighter. Getting an image in her head, she spoke louder, "Fires of Mars, show me our new enemy!" Crackling, the fire revealed Aika and Akura's faces.
"Aika... tell me something." Cale asked of his partner.
"Hmm?" Aika asked, turning around to face him.
"Do you think I'm just a kid?" Cale sighed.
"No, you're not, but when it comes to your feelings, maybe."
"Why do you say that?"
"I know you like Akura, everyone does. But you're just a young man. Not a kid, but you're not that old to understand us."
Cale's eyes began to water slightly. "Thanks..." he replied. "When they asked who wanted to come here to assist them, I was more than willing because I knew Akura would be there! He's so nice, he's smart, he's cute... but Aika is such an opposite. Why do they like each other?" he thought to himself, almost crying as he walked away from Aika.
"Oh, and Cale." Aika spoke, causing Cale to stop walking away. "Akura is mine. Don't even think of stealing him away from me. You probably never could either. That boy that he was with last night though, I think they like eac.." Cale turned around, cutting AIka off. "What boy?!" he asked. Aika held his hand out, causing a picture to appear of Colin and Lenny. "That one." he said.
"Then let's go after him next!" Cale said, determined.
"Suit yourself." Aika said, smiling. "This is good..." he thought. "I can kill two birds with one stone..."
Lenny sighed as he took his books out of his bag and sat at his desk. "Another day of class..." he thought to himself as he opened his notebook. He looked at his watch: "10:24... 6 minutes until we start." he pondered. Kate and Colin walked into his room. "Hey." Kate said, tapping him on the shoulder. Turning around, he looked up. "Hey guys. What's up?" he smiled. "Want to go to lunch with us after class?" Colin asked. "Sure! Lenny said, smiling wider. "Great. Wait for us at 12:00." Lenny nodded and they left. "They're so cute together..." Lenny thought as he watched the two leave. "I wonder..." he said to himself. "I wonder if a guy like that woul... nah."
Cale watched Lenny privately. "You're so pretty..." he mumbled, cupping the image of Lenny's face with his hands. "I want you as my own..." "Siren!" Cale called. A girl with long blue hair appeared, wearing a short black miniskirt. "Yes master?" she replied, in a beautiful voice. "I want you to watch this boy. Make sure no one hurts him, or gets too close to him. If they do, attack them both. Leave him though. He can handle himself and wouldn't hurt you. I'm sure he knows who you are." Siren nodded. Appearing in the sky outside of the class building, Siren waited, watching.
"I'm hungry!" Usagi said as she opened the door to Rei's room. "Let's go eat!"
Rei smirked.
"But Usagi... I've got work to do!"
"You can do it when you come home! I need a lunch date! Makoto and Minako are busy in class, Ami's at work, and I can't get a hold of Haruka or Michiru!" Rei sighed and submitted. "Fine! But let's not make it an all day thing! Where should we go?"
"Let's go to Kate's college! They have good food! It's not far from here either."
"Kate?" Rei asked.
"Ami's friend. She's really nice! Maybe we'll run into her."
"Hm, there's a good restaurant I could take us to." Kate said, smiling. "Alright, sure. Do they have chicken? I'm dying for a chicken finger platter..." Lenny said, causing all of their mouths to water. "Chicken..." they said in unison, laughing. "Fine then, let's go!"
"That's them..." Siren thought, looking down. She smiled and disappeared.
A girl with blue hair and a black miniskirt smiled at the three patrons who had just walked in to her restaurant. "3?" the waitress asked, smiling. "Yes please. Oh, and I love your hair color!" Kate said. "Thanks." the girl replied, giggling. Lenny looked at her oddly, as if he knew her. She led them to their table. "Great. This is good. Now, I'll be right back. I have to use the bathroom." Kate said, excusing herself.
"Colin..." Lenny said, stumbling for words. "Tell me something?" he asked.
"Hm? What's up?" he said.
"This may sound very awkward but... is Kate your girlfriend?" he asked.
"Kate? No, we're just very good friends." he replied.
"Alright, and... do you like guys?" Lenny asked, blushing profusely.
"Actually, I do." Colin said, smiling.
Cale, disguised as a waiter, overheard the conversation and was enraged. "That's it! Screw Aika, he's mine!" he thought to himself. Calling Siren via telepathy, he told her to attack that table. Nodding, she appeared in the air above the table as the hostess who had just seated them. Losing the disguise, she emerged as a monster.
"Oh! Rei! Let's eat here!" she said, dragging Rei into the restaurant.
"Siren!" she called out. "I've been ordered to eliminate anyone who gets too close to my master's object of affection!" she said, glaring at Colin. She held up a hand, as though she were going to blast him...
"Object of what?" Lenny said, looking at the monster. "Nevermind!" Siren snarled back as her hand glowed a dark blue. "Song of Death!" Siren shouted, aiming a blast of dark energy at Colin. Lenny knocked him out of the way and repelled the blast.
"Hold it!" Sailor Mars shouted. "You think that you can disrupt a peaceful lunch between two friends because you don't like them! Well you're wrong!" Sailor Mars continued, posing. "In the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!" Sailor Moon added.
"What the hell is going on here?" Colin thought to himself. "I'm getting that feeling again... but I can't do anything here."
Sailor Mars put her hands together, aiming at Siren "Burning.... MANDALA!" she shouted, sending rings of fire at her. She dodged them all and, extending one of her hands, grabbed Sailor Mars by the neck. "You two should get out of here now!" Sailor Moon shouted at the two.
Kate walked back to the table, and screamed once she saw what was going on. "Kate!" the two shouted. Siren grew a hand out of her side and grabbed Kate by the neck. "No!" Colin shouted.
"You don't know what you're dealing with, any of you! Get away from here now!" Lenny said standing up. "Akura! How could you help them? What is wrong with you?!" Siren shouted. "What is wrong with you Siren? You're not supposed to be here, no one asked you to!"
"You're wrong! Someone did! And now I'll finish my job!" she snarled back, turning one of her new extremities into a blade and glaring at Colin. Lenny looked up in horror as he saw what she was about to do.
"Now you're mine!" Siren said, laughing as she lunged her blade at Colin. "I don't think so!" Lenny said, causing a small explosion but protecting Colin and himself with a barrier.
"There's more where that came from!" she snarled.
Sailor Moon held up her Spiral Heart Moon Rod and looked at Siren. "Moon Spiral..." she began, spinning in place. "...Heart...!" "Please!" a voice of a young man shouted as the wand was knocked from her hand, causing her to fall over. Cale appeared behind her and floated to the ground. "Come on Siren, do your job!"
"Cale? Why are you...?" Lenny began, but was cut off. "Because I want you. All to myself." he replied, narrowing his eyes.
Siren extended her bladed-arm again and hit something, causing a small fog of debris to appear. "I know I got him that time! I'm sure of it!" A piercing scream of pain followed.
"Victory!" the monster said, smiling brightly. "I don't think so!" Colin said, standing up. "If not you, then...?" she asked, confused.
The fog disappeared, and Lenny was laying on the ground, impaled. Blood streaming down his face, he looked up at Colin. "I'll protect you... always..." he said, before closing his eyes. His disguise became undone and Akura layed in his place.
"This can't be!" Cale shouted, trembling, tears running down his face. "I've... I've!..." Siren released her hold on all of her captives. Kate fainted. Sailor Mars and Sailor Moon
staggered to stand up.
"You did this yourself... you deliquent kid. You're still chasing me around..." Vaeran said, standing where Colin was. "It's you!" Cale replied, shocked. "I'll make sure you never have him. Never." Vaeran continued, picking up Akura's body and walking away.
Aika appeared. "This is nice..." he snarled loudly. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU CALE?!" he shouted, grabbing his partner's arm and disappearing.
"What just happened here, Mars?" Sailor Moon asked. "I don't know Usagi..." she replied.
"YOU WERE SENT HERE TO HELP! NOT TO KILL ONE OF OUR OWN! YOU STUPID IDIOT!" Aika shouted. "It's not his fault!" Siren replied. "It's all mine..." she continued, lowering her head. "I'm the one who hurt him. I should be punished. Leave him be." Cale looked at her. "Sire..." "I'm sorry." she said, interrupting him. "Yeah, you are sorry." Aika said, blasting her into nothing.
"Fuck with me again, and you're dead boy. Got it? Stay away from my boyfriend too."
Preview for Chapter 4 - Colin knows who Lenny really is. What happens now? Once he is recovered, the two talk for a long time about who they are and how they've come to be what they are. Cale and Akura begin to questions Aika's motives. Has their plan changed drastically from what they originally sought? What are they all really after? Where did Akura, Cale, and Aika really come from? Who are their superiors? Chapter 4 - Colliding Worlds coming soon. ^_^
