Chapter 8
The next morning seemed unbelievably cheery. The birds chirped happily and flew through the soft autumn breeze. A girl walked quietly down the street, her long brown hair trailing behind her and her sky blue eyes looking at her surroundings.
She smiled. "Earth is so lovely... and these humans... Destroying it..." she sighed and stopped to admire the rose bushes nearby.
"Hey Akutenshi!" a voice called. At first, the girl didn't pay attention, until she realized she was the only person in the park. She glanced up to see two males heading towards her. She blinked in surprise.
'Am I supposed to know these two?' she thought to herself as the two stopped in front of her.
"Hey Akutenshi! Do you know where Koneko is? I've seriously got to talk to her!" the taller one said. The girl tilted her head as if she didn't understand. The guy blinked.
"Hello? Koneko? You are still friends with her right? I mean, you aren't in another fight with her are you?" he asked. Again, the girl did not understand.
"I don't know who this Koneko is..." the girl muttered. "Nor you two..." The taller male blinked.
"Akutenshi! I thought we were still friends! It's me Okasii! And that's Kan! Remember? You went out with him!" the taller replied. The girl blinked and looked at the shorter one.
"Impossible... I would never go out with someone that short..." she replied as she began to walk away. Okasii and Kan blinked
"That was harsh..." Okasii muttered, glancing at Kan.
The girl gave a glance back at the two. "Oh... And who's Akutenshi?"
« Z «
"OWE!!!" Rei's scream filled the shrine causing the grounds to tremble
"STOP IT YOU BIG BABY!" Koneko's scream followed.
Within Rei's room, Koneko was being 'little nurse' for Rei and was treating an arm wound. "I'm going to get this disinfectant stuff on whether you like it or not!" Koneko yelled as she poured some on Rei's arm.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
Koneko quickly grabbed some new bandages and wrapped up Rei's arm while she continued moaning and repeating, 'owe owe owe'.
"Oh come on! It can't hurt that much!" Koneko replied, sitting back on the floor. Rei glared at her.
"SHOWS HOW MUCH YOU KNOW!" Rei yelled back, holding her arm tightly.
"You are so ungrateful! Here I am slaving over you, hand and foot, so you can get better, and you don't even give me a thanks!"
"Your not helping me get better! Your trying to kill me!"
"Um... excuse me...?" a voice said as a knock came on the door. Both Koneko and Rei stopped yelling at the voice.
"Akutenshi? That you?" Koneko asked at the familiar voice. Koneko scrambled towards the door while Rei watched in awe from her bed.
Koneko swung open the door to see a girl who defiantly looked like Akutenshi. "Akutenshi!" Koneko yelled. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! All of us have been worried sick!"
The girl blinked through her sky blue eyes. "That's the second time today I've been mistaken for this Akutenshi..." the girl said. Rei gave an aggravated sigh.
"You must excuse my sister... you interrupted her attempt to kill me..." Rei replied. The girl looked in at Rei and looked at her without emotion, as she did everything else.
"Oh my... how did you get hurt like that?" she asked. Rei blinked, unsure of what to answer letting Koneko take the opportunity to intervene.
"She got too close to the flames while she was meditating... She kinda fell in..." Koneko replied, then smiled. "I saved her..."
Rei felt an anger grow inside her... She felt like getting up and kicking some Koneko-butt at that moment... but her injuries prevented her from it.
"How heroic..." the girl said, with the same calm look. Koneko blinked.
"By the way, the names Koneko! And that is Rei!"
"I am known as Isis... It's a pleasure to meet you both..." the girl replied. "I was wondering how you get to Amber Falls Way... Do either of you know?"
"Take main street east and you'll find it..." Rei replied. The girl nodded.
"Thank you Rei..." she replied as she began to walk away from the household. Koneko frowned and turned to her sister as the girl walked off.
"She really does look like Akutenshi, doesn't she?" Koneko asked. Rei nodded in reply.
"And sounds like Akutenshi too..."
"Do you think I was right and she is Akutenshi taken over by the engravers?" Koneko asked as she sat down next to Rei's bed.
"I don't know... but better call the senshi in and tell them about it..."
« Z «
Isis stopped, looking up at the shrine where she had come from. "It's odd..." she muttered softly to herself. "This Koneko and Rei... They are missing a friend... and the Sailor Senshi are missing an ally..."
"Could it be linked?" Isis smirked. "I think it could... Oh I defiantly think it could..." The blue eyed girl closed her eyes and began to walk down the street once more.
"ACK!"
Isis collided with a running figure and tumbled to the ground. She blinked as she looked up at Usagi whom she ran into.
"So sorry! I'm in a hurry!" Usagi said as she scrambled up and ran up towards the shine. Mutashi ran around the corner and blinked at Isis.
"I'm sorry! Did my sister run into? She is such a klutz! I'm so sorry!" Mutashi cried, then ran up after her sister. "USAGI! WAIT FOR ME!"
Isis blinked from her spot on the ground. "How odd..." she muttered. The tall blonde girl stopped suddenly and turned towards Isis.
"Akutenshi?" she asked, blinking. Isis turned to her, still sitting, and utterly confused. Mutashi then noticed the strange sky blue eyes this girl who looked strangely like Akutenshi had. "No never mind... I mistook you for someone else..."
And with that Mutashi ran up to the shrine.
Isis pushed herself up and dusted off the back of her jeans. "I should find this Akutenshi and kill her off... It's quite annoying that everyone confuses me for her..." With that, Isis walked off, her pride distorted.
« Z «
A half an hour later, Isis stood before a book store, looking in. The books held no interest to her... The customers, however, held great importance to her.
"These mortals live too pathetic lives to exist..." she whispered, placing her fingers on the glass. "We will put there waited energy to use... Won't we Kayniore?"
The older woman that stood behind Isis, leaning against a telephone pole smirked, her hat and baggy clothes covering most of her body, besides a patch of blue skin, and purple hair that fell down off her shoulders.
"That we shall..." the woman replied.
"Good..." Isis replied with a smirk. "Now I leave everything in your capable hands my servant..."
The blue skinned youma smiled and nodded, and Isis left the monster to do her work.
CRASH!
The glass of the book store shattered, the shards spaying everywhere and the screams of the customers being well heard. The blue skinned youma threw off her disguise revealing the tight belly top and mini skirt she wore. She laughed evil and gave a smirk.
"Lowly mortals! Submit your energy to me! Kayniore!" she screamed, letting a booming laugh and pulling out a blue orb. Kayniore thrust the blue orb forward and it began to glow, and a white steam began coming off the humans and collecting into the orb.
Kayniore was successfully stealing their energy...
From behind a corner on the other street, Makoto witnessed this and gave a scowl. "If you took my sister... I will find her..." Makoto whispered harshly, watching the other humans fall unconscious from lack of energy. She raised her transformation stick into the air.
"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER! MAKE UP!" she screamed, becoming Super Sailor Jupiter.
"Sparkling Wide PRESSURE!" she yelled, letting out a discus of solid electricity towards the youma. It hit the youma dead in the back, causing it to stumble forward and drop the blue orb.
Kayniore quickly recovered and grabbed the orb again and turned around angrily towards Sailor Jupiter who now stood just outside the broken window of the book store.
"You dare disturb the beautiful peace of this planet? I will not stand for it! The name is Sailor Jupiter! Guardian of truth and justice! Fighter of the good! And on behalf of the mighty Jupiter, I will punish you!" Jupiter said proudly.
"Ah! A sailor senshi!" the youma said with a smile. "I thought you'd come! The mistress warned me about you guys! But only one? I thought there were more!"
"I can deal with you myself..." Jupiter muttered, giving another scowl.
"We'll see about that..." Kayniore replied with a smirk. "DARK REIGN!" A blast of black energy surged towards Sailor Jupiter. Jupiter barely dodged the attack, getting a cut on her left arm.
"I'll get you for that!" she yelled angrily. "And for taking my sister! Oak.... EVOLUTION!" Sailor Jupiter sent her own shockwave of electric leaves that surrounded Kayniore and began electrocuting her. Kayniore gave a scream of utter pain, making Jupiter give a smirk of satisfaction. But at that moment, Kayniore did something forcing a look of utter shock replace Sailor Jupiter's smirk.
The youma began laughing...
The surge of the leaves stopped as a figure appeared sitting in the shadows on top of the bookcase, reading a book. Jupiter gasped and blinked at the figure.
"It... Can't be..." she whispered as the figure closed the book she was reading and stood up, still on the bookcase.
"So only one came to defy me in my first effort? How... convenient..." the girl said as she began to step into the light from the outside sun.
"K-Akutenshi!" Jupiter stuttered out, eyes wide in disbelief. Isis frowned.
"If I had my way, this Akutenshi would be no more... But then again..." Isis began as a smirk spread across her face. "We can't get everything we want... Now can we?"
"What have you done with my sister?!" Sailor Jupiter screamed. Again, Isis gave a frown.
"I haven't done anything! Yet..."
Jupiter scowled, and her eyes narrowed. Isis laughed.
"I am Isis, follower of the Dark Queen, Malfeacance... You are no match for my capability...."
"We'll see about that!" Jupiter said angrily.
"Anyway..." Isis muttered. "I've made my introductions, and now I must leave... Kayniore? Deal with this... pest..."
Jupiter felt herself crumble inside as Isis disappeared with a smirk on her face. 'My own sister... wants to kill me...' she thought.
A chorus of voices was heard behind Jupiter as the rest of the Senshi group, aside from Sailor Mars (And Jupiter X of course), ran to Jupiter's side.
"Jupiter! How could you fight without us?" Venus asked as she came to a stop next to her.
"That was totally irresponsible of you!" Mercury muttered.
"Not to mention rude!" Mercury X added in, placing her hands on her hips.
"Leaving us out of all the action! And that's what we became Senshi for!" Venus X added. Jupiter said nothing, didn't even look at them.
"Sailor Jupiter...?" Chibi Moon X asked in curiosity.
"Something wrong?" Chibi Moon asked, noticing Jupiter's expression.
"Akutenshi... She's... one of them..." Jupiter said, still not turning to the rest.
"Wow, Mars X was right?" Moon X asked, blinking.
"There's a first!" Chibi Moon X muttered.
"HEY!" Mars X screamed, she gave a sniff and suddenly her eyes filled with water. "Nobody loves me..."
"Wait! No!" Moon X replied suddenly. "I didn't mean it that way!"
"Um guys?" Mercury interrupted. All eyes turned to her. "We still have a bad guy to defeat... so if you don't mind... save the apologies for later..."
"Yeah! Look at you guys! Slacking off and forgetting the reason we're here!" Sailor Moon said, crossing her arms. Everyone gave exasperated sighs.
"Your one to talk..." Venus said, looking at Sailor Moon, who only gave a nervous laugh in reply.
Kayniore blinked, totally surprised by the lack of teamwork the Senshi had. "Oh boy... and Isis says that we YOUMA'S don't work together..." she muttered to herself. "Oh well... time to finish them off..."
"DARK REIGN!" the monster screamed, sending another shock wave of black energy towards them, mainly towards Jupiter, who at the moment, still stood in front. Jupiter gave a low growl.
"OAK EVOLUTION!" Sailor Jupiter yelled sending out her electric leaves and surprising the power.
Kayniore gave a sigh. "Hmm... I guess I underestimated the power of your little Pikachu trick..." she muttered.
"Pikachu?" Sailor Moon repeated. "What's a pikachu?"
Sailor Moon X gave an exasperated sigh. "Never mind... Let's just kill the thing...." she replied coldly.
"Okay... whatever you say Ms. Know-it-all..." Eternal Sailor Moon pulled out her staff, ready to do her power, while Eternal Sailor Moon X pulled out her own staff. "Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!"
"Starlight X Crystal Hope Shine!"
The two magnificent powers combined together and hit Kayniore before she had a chance to dodge.
Kayniore was incinerated by the surge power. And as her body was burned into oblivion, a crystal ball dropped to the ground and shattered.
"Alright!" Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon X yelled in unison. Their smiles of victory faded as Jupiter fell to her knees.
"Jupiter!" the entire group exclaimed.
"Are you okay?" Chibi Moon asked, looking at her shocked friend.
"I just can't believe that Akutenshi would give in so easily..." Jupiter muttered.
"Believe it..." Mars X replied. "She wouldn't hurt a fly... Much less someone trying to invade her own body..."
"It was the Isis you told us about wasn't it...?" Sailor Moon asked towards Sailor Mars X. Jupiter looked up at Mars X urgently.
"You knew?!" she asked. Mars X blinked in surprise.
"Not until a half an hour ago! Isis came to our house for directions! We figured something was up because she looked to much like Akutenshi!" Mars X exclaimed. "So Rei got out of bed, wounded and all to pray to the fire and find out what's going on!"
"And then Usagi and Mutashi showed up and surprised Rei so much that she almost DID fall into the fire..." she continued. "But even when Rei got her concentration back, she couldn't find out who Isis was. She said there was some kind of block on her spirit..."
"And then we got wind of an attack..." Mercury took over. "And Usagi, Mutashi and Koneko had to practically tie down Rei to the bed to keep her home... And we came here..."
Jupiter frowned and lowered her eyes. "It was her..." she whispered. "She has the same appearance... Same voice..."
"Yeah except she's got some really weird sky blue eyes! I think they're cooler than mine!" Sailor Moon X replied.
"But with the majority of evidence pointing towards the conclusion we don't want..." Mercury X muttered. "We have to make the assumption that Isis IS Akutenshi..."
"That means we can't kill her..." Venus replied.
"Which makes it twice as hard..." Venus X added.
"Why can't we kill her?" Mars X asked suddenly. All eyes turned to her and she gave the most innocent look she could. "What...?"
The next morning seemed unbelievably cheery. The birds chirped happily and flew through the soft autumn breeze. A girl walked quietly down the street, her long brown hair trailing behind her and her sky blue eyes looking at her surroundings.
