Orion Saga
Part 1
Quest for the Orbs
Chapter 10: The Amazons
It's the day before school starts and Minako is with a friend from her college. The two of them are walking past a salon when the bubbly blonde stops in her tracks. "Wow!
"What is it, Mina-chan?"
"Look, Nuriko, A modeling contest. The winner gets a modeling contract."
A woman steps out of the salon. She is dressed in a deep green outfit with a single lilac pinned to her auburn hair. She smiles at the two young ladies. "Maybe you two should enter.."
Nuriko plays with a strand of he black hair, her brown eyes dancing with excitement. "Well, it's always been a dream to model."
"Me too. Sign us up."
"Very well, then. Follow me." The woman turns and goes back inside.
(~(~(~(
"Samaru, I don't think..." Zentora stops talking.
Holding her hand, he looks down at her. "What is it?"
"Nothing. You go ahead and get a table. I...have to go to the restroom."
"Alright." He stands quietly until she leaves. Looking around, he pulls out the sam device that he'd had earlier when Mamoru first saw him. "Hello."
"Yes?"
"Amazon. I need the two of you to follow her."
The young woman on the other end gives a curt 'Yes' and the conversation is over.
(~(~(~(
Zentora walks out of the back door of the sushi bar and transforms in the alley. Quickly, she makes her way down the street.
(~(~(~(
Nuriko and Mianko are inside of the salon signing up for the contest. The woman smiles at them as they leave. "Oh! Wait girls. I almost forgot. We're giving out flowers to the contestants." She walks over to a large tree bearing lilacs.
"That's beautiful." Nuriko walks over to the tree.
"Thank-you. One of the local businesses donated it." When she touches the plant, it begins to form into a monster. It snatches the woman's hand and begins to drain her. Nuriko screams and Mina watches helplessly.
(~(~(~(
Ami is in a bookstore when she hears her communicator beeping. Going deeper nito the walls of books, she speaks. "It's Ami."
"Ami, I need you! I'm at a salon in Harajuku. There's a monster..."
"I'll be there as soon as I can, Mina-chan" She runs to the bookstore's bathroom and waves her henshin pen in the air. "Mercury Crystal Power!"
Sailor Mercury runs past the front desk, the young clerk staring in shock.
(
Mercury arrives at the salon to see Jupiter. "You're here too?"
The green clad soldier nods. "Yeah. I had a class nearby."
"Enough of that. Coul you guys help us out?" Mina and Nuriko are in a corner, the woman having long since been drained. They all look at her and see a blue stone hovering over her body.
Mercury looks on in surprise. "That's just like the one that that man had yesterday."
The evil plant looks at them. "Lilac haze! The flowers on her wrists open and pollen is blasted onto them.
"Ewww! What is this? Some kind of joke?" Sailor Jupiter looks at the yellow powder on her fuku.
Mercury looks at her sister soldier and then at the youma, who snatches Nuriko with the vine at her waist.
"Nuriko!" Mina watches as her friend is held above the floor of the salon only to be drained like the woman before her.
(
Orion stands just outside of the salon, eyes narrowed as she watches the evil monster. On the floor, she notices the woman and her dreamstone. She turns away when she sees nuriko being picked up and takes a deep breath.
"Jupiter...Oak...Evolution!"
The lilac monster drops an unconscious Nuriko, her body falling next to the other woman's limp form.
"Mercury Bubbles...BLAST!"
"Okay, Mina-chan."
Minako looks at the brown haired sailor and nods. "Venus Crystal Power!"
Sailor Venus stands before them and Orion's eyes widen. The blond soldier yells out an dattack combined with Sailor Jupiter's.
"Venus...Crescent Beam...Smash!"
"Jupiter...Thunder...Crash!"
The figure of the monster fizzles as she struggles to stay where she is. "Lilac Tor-" She begins to scream as her body shrivels up. The three planetary senshi look over to see Sailor Orion standing in the door.
"You."
She looks at Sailor Venus and walks over to the woman. Picking up her dream stone, she places it on her heart. She says something that the other senshi can barely make out before the ball closes over them. The blue light rotates around the ball, crackling like flames on paper until it finally disappears.
Opening her eyes, Orion stands and goes over to Nuriko. The other scouts are puxzzled when they see her place a hand on Nuriko's heart and kiss the unconscious girl's cheek. Gradually, they see something surface from her body.
Venus and Mercury's eyes widen as they see the familiar object. It is the same thing they had seen Orion take from the man at the zoo. A silver sphere.
Jupiter watches their reactions. "Guys?"
"Sailor Orion. What are you doing?"
The quiet soldier looks at Sailor Mercury. "Nothing you should concern yourself with." She picks up the sphere and is about to leave.
"Give it back to her!"
Turning, she looks at Sailor Venus. "Excuse me?"
"Give it back."
The purple clad senshi raises an eyebrow. "I'm sorry, but I can't do that."
"Listen, I don't know what's going on here, but you'd better listen to them.
Crossing her arms over her chest, Orion looks at Sailor Jupiter. "And if I don't?"
"You'll have to deal with me."
"And us too." Venus and Mercury look at Orion.
Shaking her head, she turns to leave. "I'm serious Orion." The tone in Venus's voice is menacing. Much different than the joyful overtones she had heard before.
The quiet soldier shakes her head once more and walks outside anyway.
"Venus...lovechain...encircle!"
"Uggh!" Orion's arm is grasped by the chain of hearts. She turns to looks as the other two senshi follow Venus's lead.
(~(~(~(
Two tall figures stand on the roof of a nearby building, watching the four soldiers on the street.
"Look. Would you mind letting me go? I really don't want to hurt any of you."
"Sailor Venus looks over to Sailor Orion. "Just give that back."
"I'm afraid I can't do that." The soft voice is incredibly firm. Grasping the chain of energy on her wrist, she yanks hard and Venus falls to the ground.
"That's it!" Jupiter's lighting rod surfaces. "Supreme...Thunder CRASH!!"
Sailor Orion scrambles to avoid being hit with the attack. However, it catches her on the back of one of her legs and she falls.
"Now give it back." Venus is adamant.
"I'm sorry. I wish you could understand-"
"Shine...Aqua...Illusion!" The ice cold water knocks the orb from Orion's hand. She watches as it sail through the air only for Venus's love chain to catch it. Breathing a sigh of relief, she looks at them.
Holding the orb, Venus speaks. "Stay away from Nuriko."
Eyes narrowed Orion stands. "Do you have any idea of what you're doing?"
The ominous tone in the soft voice is enough to draw the attention of the three senshi. Jupiter stands in front of Venus and begins to walk toward Orion.
Two tall figures suddenly appear in front of her and Jupiter jumps back in alarm. "what in the world?"
Two soldiers hover over her, both of them female. One with short curly hair, has a sword at her side. The other with a long black ponytail, holds a spear that is almost as tall as she is. Both of them look like sailors, but their uniforms are different.
The one with the spear looks down at Sailor Jupiter. "What do you think you are doing?" Her rich voice is deep and full of authority.
In answer, the senshi of lighting can only stare and ask, "Who are you?"
Ignoring her, the two senshi turn to look at Sailor Orion. The short haired soldier speaks to her first. "Thank the stars we've found you!"
Confused, Orion forgets about the orb. "Excuse me?"
The other senshi speaks. "Forgive our rudeness." Both of them bow down on one knee and lower their heads.
"Who are you?"
The long haired soldier looks up at Sailor Orion. "You do not recognize us?"
"I'm sorry. Should I?"
"But you must. You-"
"Najid, perhaps we were mistaken."
"We couldn't be. It has to be her, Bellatrix."
The long haired soldier clears her throat and Najid looks at the planetary senshi who stand dumbfounded.
"Oh, yes. Maybe we were." Najid stands and the spear wielding Bellatrix stands next to her. Najid looks at the purple clad senshi with the liquid brown eyes. Upon seeing something strange in them, she lowers her gaze.
Sailor Bellatrix speaks. "We apologize. Our excitement has been for naught." With that, the two take a stance and disappear.
Orion looks at the spot where they stood.
"What was that all about?"
Turning, the quiet star scout looks at Sailor Jupiter. "I...don't know."
Forgetting that they had just been battling, Sailor Mercury walks over to her. "Do you know them?"
A strange tone enters her voice and Orion turns her head away. "...no..." She begins to walk away.
(~(~(~(
"I was beginning to think you fell in."
Zentora looks at Samaru.
"What's wrong?"
She shakes her head and sits at the table, eating quietly.
(~(~(~(
"Nuriko-chan, are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, Mina-chan, I'm fine." Nuriko is sitting in a chair, the orb, having been placed back in her.
Ami and Makoto are standing outside when Mina joins them.
Makoto's face is full of concern. "How is she?"
"She said she was fine. She's going home to get ready for the contest."
Ami looks at her. "What contest?"
"That's why we were here." Minako points to a flyer. "It's next weekend."
"Maybe we should keep an eye on your friend, Mina-chan."
"Okay, Mako-chan."
(~(~(~(
The senshi are gathered on the steps of the temple in their civilian forms. Usagi looks at Ami and Makoto. "What could be so important that Mina-chan called us?"
"Orion."
Haruka turns to look at Mina and sees a dark look passing over the jovial face. Her tone is both puzzled and threatening, leading her to wonder what happened in their latest encounter with this new senshi.
"What happened?"
Mina looks at Mamoru. "Do you remember that blue stone we saw in that man yesterday?"
They all nod.
Mina goes on. "Usagi, do you remember that silver ball we saw her take from that man at the zoo?"
"Yeah."
"Nuriko had one of those. And she tried to take it from her. But there was a woman next to her wit a blues stone and she put it back."
The others look at her and Mamoru thinks out loud. "What does it mean?"
Rei looks at Mamoru and then back to Mina. "So what happened?"
"We started to fight and then two more soldiers showed up. They started talking to Orion like they knew her. But she looked at them like they were total strangers."
Makoto nods. "Yeah, they were acting like they were looking for her."
"This is too weird. "Usagi looks at her friends.
(~(~(~(
"Thanks for lunch Samaru."
"No problem." He looks at her. "I'll see you later?"
"Sure." She walks into the apartment building and Samaru leaves.
(~(~(~(
Two tall women are standing in Samaru's living room when he walks in. "Was it her?"
"Yes...but something is horribly wrong. She looked at us as if we were strangers."
Samaru looks at them and sees Najid's tear. Don't worry, Amazon. She will be restored. I've been over the whole universe...every planet and star. This is the last planet...I believe you when you say it is her. I will personally see what is going on."
"Yes. Diya."
^-^;
For anyone who was confused on what was/is going on, sorry. I have some background information on Zentora/Orion. I was planning on putting it on my own Sailor Moon site, but I couldn't wait that long. I'll be posting it with the next chapter. Thanks for reading and, I'm sorry, but I can't e-mail anyone right now. It's been evil for a while.
Thanks again `_~
