Dreamscape

By Musou Misora

Standard disclaimer applies.

Okay, okay, I use a lot of information from the Super S manga (i.e. Nephrenia instead of Neherenia). I just read the first Stars manga...*goes into dreamy mode* Soooooo good! Everything goes a little fast, though...*shrugs* I'll let you read it on your own.

Chapter Nine: Kara Makoto, From Sincerity

***

I don't understand...

I transformed...

And now I'm back on the Dreamscape. Is it because of the spirit Setsuna was talking about? I know now that there is a way to bring the others back, and to regain our normal lives.

But how am I supposed to defeat this evil?

The other times, I had the Senshi to help me through it.

I'm all alone now. And yet I will do it for them...with all my heart...from all my sincerity...

***

She fears...

She is human...

That does not mean she cannot oppose us.

Thou was always optimistic.

Thou hast gained mortal sarcasm. Thou wouldst do well to suppress it before the Master comes.

There is no time for quarreling. We three must destroy the Senshi. The Dreamscape will overshadow this world very soon.

Nephrenia was a fool to chase after Helios.

Thou speakest truthfully for this one time.

Speak no more! Tsuki no Hime approaches...

***

The park is empty and void of life. Did I make it this way? Has the Dreamscape really come this far?

I stop. The presence...it feels so much like Nephrenia...but I know instinctively that it's not her.

"Greetings, Tsuki no Hime. We have traveled far across the Dreamscape to meet thee."

"Wh-who are you?" I manage to stammer out. All my confidence from my insanity had left me the instant I transformed, and I was back to being my normal, klutzy self.

"We three are Servants of the Great Master, Zirconia."

"Zirconia!?" I spit out the name in contempt. "Demo I defeated him years ago!"

"Not so, Tsuki no Hime."

"You have only driven him farther away."

"He will return. Now, you must fight us."

"Gladly! Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!"

The demons become visible, and one shrieks in pain as my attack hits it dead on. The other two growl at me.

"That is only one you have destroyed."

Energy takes the form of wind and strikes me in all directions. I cry out, and the words form ever so slowly...

"Help..."

***

Another voice cries out to me.

"Help!"

Who is this? The voice I do not recognize. Only Haruka's...

That is Koneko-chan...

Why can I only remember Haruka's voice? It tears me apart that I do not know my own princess's voice as it sounds. So painful...what is going on?

We can't do anything...feel so helpless...

I know...

(Dun dun dun! This story is turning out to be too cliche for me...ah well, what's an author to do? One must live with their mistakes and learn from them, I suppose.)
