Crystal Magicians

Part Two
JJ and Aurora looked up, seemingly at the same time. *Cherri!* They ran a
few feet over to the
station where Nurse seemed to be attacking another lady and Cherri was over
in the corner,
holding her head, crying and shrieking as only she could.
Trista picked up a bottle of medicine, dumping it into the monster's eyes.
The animal growled
and morphed it's hand into some pincher like appendage.
JJ wasted no time. She had to get Cherri out, and maybe help the green
haired women. This
thing wasn't normal. She did a quick round house kick, effectively knocking
the creature down
on it's back. She popped up, as did the alien being. A few well placed
jabs, an undercut, and
some un-describably kicks, she had pushed it further back, but still not
enough that Aurora could
get in.
Aurora bid her time, getting just enough room, doing a double whip frontal
flips into the now
wrecked station. The glass was shattered, multiple substances flowing
together. Cherri was still
there clutching her forehead. "Cherri."
No response.
"Cherri. We have to get out of here," Aurora said half helping, half
dragging the younger girl.
How could she get out with out bumping into that THING?
"Cher. You are going to do a simple round off back flip. Just like we used
to. No spotter
though. You have to make it. Come on."
Cherri started back blankly.
Aurora sighed. "Okay, one three we are going to jump over JJ and the...
er... Nurse. One... two...
three!"
The pair went through a simple step hop jump maneuver before going over.
Both turned in mid
air. Aurora landed on her feet. Cherri hit the ground and kept rolling for
a bit.
The monster lifted a humongous hand and threw JJ right into a wall, finding
her original target at
once. Cherri looked up again, silent, fearful, and began to crawl backwards
still looking at the
bleeding beast.
However, before it could corner her, Sailor Pluto stepped out... er...
voiced out "PLUTO
DEADLY SCREAM!" and the magenta energy pelted the thing into
unconsciousness.
~~~~~~~~
Ariel ran up the steps. WHAT was that!! She had heard the scream and
immediately headed
from the bathroom towards it. *I really needed to wear sneakers some time!*
she thought as her
boots almost tripped her. Turning and swerving down the corridors, she
thought she lost it when
she reached the nurses station, only to find another one, a girl in a senshi
suit, JJ limping with
hot blood coming from her forehead, Cherri looking like she had aged about
20 years, and
Aurora discussing something with the aforementioned senshi.
Some how, she realized that this would be a long day.
"What's going on? JJ! Are you okay?" Ariel yelled as she ran into the
office. "Did I miss WW3
or something?"
"It's nothing, just a scratch," JJ replied. Ariel grabbed some bandages and
helped JJ clean the
wound and bandage it quickly. After she walked to Cherri and leaned down
next to her.
"Hey. You okay?"
"She was the one the monster was after," came a voice from behind her.
Ariel turned to see it's was the senshi.
"Who are you? I hate to tell you, but miniskirts I don't think are allowed
in the school," she said..
"She helped us out. Her name's Sailor Pluto," Aurora said.
Ariel looked at both of them. "What exactly happened?" she asked Sailor
Pluto.
Aurora and JJ both looked at Ariel, then at Sailor Pluto.
Sailor Pluto sighed.
************
Trista Meiou (of course, not to the girls), a.k.a. Sailor Pluto and Dr.
Susan Setsuna, quickly
contemplated her situation. The girls wanted answers to questions she
couldn't answer herself.
And there where only 4? Shouldn't there be more? There was a lot of
problems... but first they
had to get out of here.
"Girls, we've gotta move. Get your stuff, quickly. Meet me up on the roof
in ten," Trista said,
detransforming. *That way I can prepare the serum and take some effects off
that girl.*
Aurora lead/pulled Cherri down to their locker hallways, JJ pushing from
behind, and Ariel
taking up the rear. Each hurried off to their lockers -- well besides
Cherri who kind of just stood
there.
JJ looked in her locker mirror. Well, her skirt now had slits half way up
her thighs, but the fabric
was still intact so she could fix it at home. Quickly she threw her
shoulder-styled dark green
purse over her shoulder so it laid on her opposite hip. A long tan leather
jacket followed, then
her forest green (she refused to call it hunter green) knapsack. Lastly she
grabbed her guitar case
and started over to wait for the others.
Ariel, other than being sort of shocked at what was actually going on,
hurried up and grabbed her
stuff - a lined jean jacket, a navy duffel bag, and her band stuff in
another (this one black) duffle
bag. Then quickly, realizing that she probably should actually put the
jacket on, she laid her stuff
down. Shoving one arm through, she bent down, grabbed the bags, and putt
her other hand
through. She went over to Aurora and Cherri, motioning JJ over.
Aurora grabbed her stuff in record time, it seemed. Her violin case, a
simple smokey black wool
jacket, the white downy scarf, her small violet backpack. Then she went
over to Cherri's locker,
quickly opening it.
JJ grabbed the oversized 3-1 coat, stuffing Cherri with her ripped sweater
and jeans into the
silver-grey jacket and the black polar fleece liner. *She still isn't
talking,* she noted.
Aurora grabbed the navy back pack (filled with stuff, no less) that Cherri
always seemed to have,
while Ariel searched for the lighter blue Mudd purse. Both, simultaneously,
shoving the items
on to her, took the younger (yet taller) one and started running up the
stairs.
~~~~~~~~
Trista started the helicopter. There was another one... or where there two?
Close... so close. She
prepared the shot for Cherri. The amber liquid would reduce the memories
for now, and help her
deal with her new powers.
The four teens shot up then, Aurora climbing in first, her sandals flopping
and her scarf barely
tied. Ariel came next her purple boots barely touching the ground as she
leapt into the helicopter.
Both where dragging a un-cooperative Cherri behind them.
JJ came up behind the lot, her leather coat unbuttoned, saying something
about another one of
them Things. Her long hair, flying from her lose of a hair tie as well.
She also jumped in.
Cherri stood there. Trista got out her needle. Cherri's eyes expanded and
she turned to run, but
was faced with another creature. Cherri took the syringe and ran, up to the
monster, stabbing him
with the needle, pumping him full of the vaccine.
It howled. It screamed. It slumped down.
Cherri looked on blankly. "Come on!" Trista yelled, ushering Cherri into
the chopper before it
could wake up.
Trista jumped in and started take off procedures. Once they are safely in
he air, she turned to
Cherri, riding shotgun, "Don't you know what you just did! It can absorb
technology! Recreate
it!"
Ariel murmured in the back how it sounded like a Borg from Star Trek. JJ
nodded in return.
"I wouldn't worry about it. They don't have any ships here so they can't
transfer the data. So
your vaccine is safe... for now."
"How can you tell that?" Trista demanded.
"You learn a lot from someone when you go inside their head," Cherri
whispered, squeezing her
eyes shut as if to shut out the alien's memories.
The girls in the back exchanged a worried glance. At least she had come out
of her revery.
"Anyway," she said softly, "I'm ready for my shot now." Cherri moved her
hazel/olive eyes into
Pluto's red ones, "Trista."
************
The senshi of time studied the girl that sat in front of her. She held a
new needle in her hand and
cleaned a small patch of skin. She zoned out for a few seconds to
understand the new turns she
would have to take. It wouldn't be as easy as she had originally thought it
would.
Green eyes bore into her as she carefully injected the liquid into Cherri.
The others just watched
on as her eyes swirled various shades of green and amber, and she fell back
into the seat. The
three in the back jumped forward, but were halted by the girl, 'Trista' as
Cherri had called her.
"She needs time for the injection to work its way through her system. In the
meanwhile, I can fill
you in on what's going on." She looked a bit wary of telling them all that
she knew... but they
needed to know SOMETHING.
"Who are you really?" Ariel asked, watching the woman with green hair look
at the floor. Her
head slowly found its way up to look at them.
"My name is Trista Meiou," she finished abruptly. Even though all she had
said was her name,
something had clicked in their minds. They sat there for several minutes,
watching Cherri sleep
and exchanging nervous glances.
"What was it?" JJ asked suddenly, breaking the eerie silence. She felt the
still-sore place on her
head where the monster had injured her.
Trista sighed. She knew this would come up sooner or later.
***Begin Dream***
Cherri's dream state was a mixed, convoluted mess. She could see the home
world of these
creatures, how it got started... she knew what they knew about every
species... every world in
every dimension that they had destroyed. And she knew most of what they
knew about the world
Trista came from.
She could see preparations... she could see... the future.... JJ hanging on
some muscle bound
boy.... a girl with weird braided hair kissing some guy with messy hair and
a green tank top....
Ariel flirting with some guy with poofy blonde hair while Aurora seemed to
be rather...
*interested* with someone else. A man with a braid and a girl with dark
hair.... Another guy
with wings, a tiger child, and a school girl... herself with a guy in red
armor....
Someone new... with her own guy... it was a huge party... the sun was
back....
Cherri saw herself looking back... hearing phrases....
"J's dead, Cher. Dead. D-E-A-D. Accept it." Janis Hunter's shorter frame
on a hospital gurdy as
a girl with short purple hair began to heal.
"Hey, what are you doing out here! It's a battle.... Come on!" A boy in
orange picking her up and
running as explosions come from behind.
"My name is Cat. Sorry would of met you earlier, but you where rather out
of it."
A girl with pure forest green eyes, not her yellowish ones or JJ's dark
green ones.
A kiss.
Humongous machines, that some girl dragged her out of the path of.
Holding them back with her mind... crying tears of blood.
The flash came forward so facts she couldn't hold on to them... she couldn't
remember... blood,
hurt, fire, smoke, screams, Aurora, mech, armor, power, awe, wings, JJ,
blood, pain, white light,
searing....
Then after the instantaneous flashes, a white hot heat hit her. It was
another one... in her brain....
She wanted out... *Get it out. Get it out! Get it out! NOW!! Get out of
my head! Get out! GET
OUTTTT!!!!!!!!!!*
