Chibi-Usa and Hotaru sat at one of the booths in the new cafe that had
opened a few days ago. They were waiting for Setsuna who was supposed
to meet them there. As the waitress approached with their milkshakes,
the ground began to shake violently.
Glasses shattered as they crashed to the floor, and people started
screaming.
"What's happening?" Chibi-Usa shouted over the noise.
"I'm not sure." Hotaru replied.
At that moment, a Youma crashed through the wall in front of them.
The young girls scrambled out of the way, as the creature rammed into
the booth they had been sitting at.
The monster got up, and smashed the table into tiny shards. With a
roar, it turned to face Chibi-Usa and Hotaru.
CrimsonCat rushed through the hole in the wall after the Youma.
"Hey!" She called. "Get away from them."
The monster whipped around, and rushed towards her.
CrimsonCat leapt back out the hole, drawing the monster away from the
innocent bystanders.
Chibi-Usa flipped open her communicator, and called the other Sailor
Senshi.
"We need help here guys." She spoke.
"On our way." Usagi's replied.
"Lets go." Hotaru said.
The cafe was now empty, so they transformed and rushed outside to help
the Crimson Scout.
"Tiger's Bite!" Cat exclaimed.
the monster dodged the attack, and leapt towards Cat, pinning her
beneath its sharp claws.
Cat winced as the creature dug its claws in deeper.
"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!"
"Silence Glaive Surprise!"
The attacks struck the creature's back, and drew its attention away from
the trapped Crimson.
"Leave her alone." Chibi-Moon shouted.
With a roar, the Youma sent a bright blue orb of energy towards the
smaller scouts.
They jumped out of the way, and barely missed getting hit.
"Tail Whip!" A silver whip appeared in Cat's hands.
With one fluid movement, she wrapped the it around the Youma's left leg.
Cat yanked on the whip, causing the creature to fall flat on its face.
With surprising agility and speed, the creature jumped back up, and
fired three or four blasts towards Cat.
She leapt out of the way of the first one, but got struck by the rest.
Cat screamed out in pain, and collapsed on the sidewalk, un-moving.
The Youma advanced upon her, ready to fire again.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Nikkos doubled over. His breath caught in his lungs, and a shooting
pain extended through his whole body.
"Just because your loosing is no reason to act like that."
Willow told him.
The two of them, and her sister Ceres were playing Scrabble.
"Its Mikka." He gasped.
"Nikkos, are you ok?" Ceres asked, concerned.
"Mikka's hurt badly." He jumped up, and transformed. "We have to
go help her."
The two sisters transformed and rushed after CrimsonWolf, who was
had already jumped off the balcony and was soaring through air, almost
breaking his wings to reach his love as fast as he could.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Deep Submerge!"
"World Shaking!"
"Dead Scream!"
The attacks slammed into the creature, turning it to dust.
"Neptune, Uranus, Pluto." Saturn smiled.
"You two ok?" Uranus asked them.
"We're fine, but she's not." Chibi-Moon directed their
attention towards CrimsonCat.
"She's hardly breathing." Neptune exclaimed.
Saturn placed her hands over Cat's body, and healed her as best she
could.
"That's the best I can do." Saturn sighed.
Uranus bent down, and picked her up.
"Lets get her out of here." Pluto suggested.
"What happened?" Moon exclaimed as she ran up.
"CrimsonCat got hurt trying to help us." Chibi-Usa told her.
A bright light consumed the Crimson Senshi as CrimsonCat powered down.
The Sailor Senshi gasped.
"Mikka Danellis is the CrimsonCat?" Moon exclaimed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Wolf, Dream and Storm landed in front of the Sailor Senshi.
"What happened to her?" Wolf asked.
"She got attacked." Uranus told him.
Storm looked at the Senshi. they all had odd looks in their eyes.
Dream thought to the other two.
Storm returned.
"We'll take her home to her sister." Storm told the other team
of fighters.
"Friend of yours?" Uranus asked.
"You could say that." Wolf said warily.
Uranus gave Mikka to Wolf, and as the Crimson fighters turned to leave,
Neptune spoke up.
"We know." Was all she said.
They turned back around, and regarded the other team.
"Know what?" Dream asked.
"That she's the CrimsonCat." Moon told them. "We saw her power
down."
Storm sighed in their heads.
Dream asked them.
"Then you must have figured out who we are." Wolf spoke.
Pluto shook her head. "The only other person we have seen Mikka with
is her sister, Raven."
Nikkos called out to their leader.
She replied.
Raven demanded.
Storm told her.
Dream put in.
Raven told them.
"So who are you guys?" Moon asked them.
"Why should we tell you?" Wolf growled.
"We already know that who she is." Uranus pointed out. "So it
doesn't matter."
"Lets go." Wolf told the others.
They spread their wings, and got ready to take off.
"Wait." Moon called out to them.
"What?" Dream demanded.
"We have so many questions. Stay awhile, please?"
The three of them regarded each other, not sure what to say.
Mikka stirred in Wolf's arms, and moaned softly. She looked extremely
pale, and had a cut across her head from when she collapsed.
"We need to get her home." Wolf said. "She really doesn't look
good."
Mikka opened her eyes slightly.
"About time you got here." She said softly.
"If you had told me you were going out to get yourself killed,
I would have tagged along." Wolf told her. "What the hell were you
thinking going after that thing alone? You could have called us."
"I can take care of myself."
"Apparently."
Mikka sighed.
"You can put me down."
Wolf set her down on the ground, and she almost fell over. He reached
out and kept her on her feet.
"Why am I so dizzy?" Mikka asked herself.
Wolf picked her back up.
"Its all right." He smiled at her. "You don't have to worry about
walking."
"You ok?" Storm asked her.
"I'll be fine." She smiled. "Thanks for saving me."
"We didn't." Dream replied.
"Not you, them." Mikka indicated the Sailor Senshi. "Guess my
secrets out, hu?"
"You could say that." Uranus smiled.
Star and the others arrived, each flying in from different directions.
"So what's going on?" Star asked as she landed.
"Raven?" Moon asked.
Star groaned.
"Way to go princess." Ice said sarcastically.
"Lay off Ice." Wolf growled.
"What are you doing here anyway?" Mikka demanded.
"Our brave leader called, so we thought it would be rude not to
answer." Light smirked.
"I'd kick your ass if I could stand." Mikka threatened them.
Star turned to the Sailor Senshi.
"So you know." She sighed.
"We have some questions that we wanted you to answer." Moon
told her.
"What makes you think we'll answer them?" Star asked.
"What reason do you have not to?" Neptune retorted.
Star asked her team.
Mikka told her. I have some questions
myself.
Dream put in.
Star questioned.
No one answered.
"Ok, lets do it." Star agreed. "But not here, we're already
attracting too much attention."
A huge crowd had formed while the fighters were talking, and the wail
of sirens could be heard in the distance.
"We could meet in the park in about half an hour." Chibi-Moon
suggested.
"Sounds good to me." Star agreed.
"Why is it always the park?" Mikka groaned.
"Northern exit?" Storm asked, ignoring Mikka.
"Sure." Moon said.
"Senshi form." Star clarified.
"If you wish." Pluto agreed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"OW!" Mikka exclaimed.
Raven was tending to the rather large cut on her head.
"Stay still." Raven ordered.
"Why am I the one who always gets hurt?" Mikka demanded.
"Because your the only one who doesn't ask for help when she
needs it." Nikkos told her.
Mikka stuck her tongue out at him.
"All done." Raven told her.
"We're going to be late." Ceres called from the hallway.
The three of them transformed, and walked out to meet the others.
"Why are they coming again?" Cat asked, talking about Light and
Ice.
"Because they are part of the team." Wolf told her.
"Couldn't tell." She replied.
"Enough of that." Ceres told them. "Can we be civil tonight?"
"If we must." Ice sighed.
Ceres transformed.
"Lets get going." Shadow told them.
"Are we flying?" Dream asked.
"No wings." Cat spoke up.
"We can walk." Flame smiled.
"Its close enough." Wind agreed.
The others nodded, and Cat sighed.
Wolf looked at her.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing." She smiled weakly. "Lets go."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Kamen waited at the northern exit of the
park.
"There they are." Jupiter spoke.
The Crimson Senshi walked up.
"How are you feeling?" Moon asked.
"A lot better." Cat replied.
"Well, lets go inside." Star sighed slightly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At Cat's insistence, they had chosen picnic tables under the trees.
The sun was setting, and they were the only people around.
The Senshi seated themselves where they were comfortable. Some sat on
the picnic tables, others on the seats, while a few of them sat on the
ground.
"So what questions did you have?" Star asked. She sat across
from Moon.
"Where did you guys come from?"
"Who are you?"
"What are you doing here?"
Jupiter, Chibi-Moon and Mercury all spoke at once.
"The where we came from part is easy." Cat's voice sounded sad
and far away.
"We are each princes and princesses from the planets of our
solar system. Before we were born, our arrival was prophesied. We were
to be the Crimson Senshi." Flame told them of their birthmarks and
their years of training. She told them of the betrayal, and the murder
of their queen. Of the battle, and their deaths.
"Cat sent us here with the help of the Sapphire Star Crystal."
Wind spoke. "And the rest is history."
"I didn't choose this place though." Cat told them. "Its just
where we ended up."
"Our home was destroyed too." Moon told them the story of the
Silver millennium, and how they ended up on earth.
"Sounds like we have a lot in common." Venus spoke.
"But who are you?" Chibi-Moon asked.
"CrimsonShadow, CrimsonWind, Flame, Dream, Storm, Light, Ice,
Wolf.. you guys know Cat, and Me, CrimsonStar." Star pointed at the
scouts as she named them.
"What about you guys?" Dream asked.
"Sailor Pluto, Sailor Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, Chibi-Moon, Mars,
Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Tuxedo Kamen, and I'm Sailor Moon." Moon
pointed at her team as she called their names.
"What about your real names?" Cat asked. "What are they?"
"Curiosity killed the cat." Wolf whispered from behind her.
"Cut that out." She said crossly.
Wolf laughed. Cat turned around. Her nails grew into claws and she
advanced towards him.
"Hey." He laughed. "I was only kidding."
Star snapped.
"He started it." Cat said in defense, her claws shrinking.
Storm rolled her eyes, while the Sailor Senshi looked confused.
"Telepathic." Wolf explained.
"You guys already know who I am, so who are you?" Cat asked
again. "We could take turns powering down. One team at a time."
Moon looked at her scouts, and they nodded in agreement.
"All right." Moon said.
"You first." Mars spoke.
Cat asked.
Ice said sarcastically.
In a flash of light, the Crimson Senshi powered down simultaneously.
Each in turn spoke their name, and Planet.
"Princess Mikka of Trillitana."
"Princess Raven of Trillitana."
"Prince Nikkos of Merias."
"Princess Willow of Aclio."
"Princess Ceres of Aclio."
"Princess Clio of Fazak"
"Princess Pyper of Fazak."
"Princess Artio of Vecaio."
"Princess Ataries of Vecaio"
"Prince Altais of Vecaio."
"Ceres and Pyper are twins." Mikka added.
"Your turn." Nikkos grinned.
The Sailor Senshi followed their lead, and powered down as one unit.
In turn, they too spoke their names and planets.
"Princess Serenity, or Usagi, of the Moon."
"Neo Princess Serenity, or Chibi-Usa, of the Moon.
"Prince Endymion, or Mamoru, of Earth."
"Princess Rei of Mars."
"Princess Minako of Venus."
"Princess Makoto of Jupiter."
"Princess Ami of Mercury."
"Princess Michiru of Neptune."
"Princess Hakura of Uranus."
"Princess Setsuna of Pluto."
"Princess Hotaru of Saturn."
They stood there across from each other, regarding one another.
"Who would have guessed." Mikka's voice broke the silence.
"So I guess we're official allies now." Raven spoke.
"Looks like." Usagi smiled.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mikka awoke in a cold sweat. Her heart was racing, and her eyes were
filled with tears.
A few moments later, Nikkos entered the room. He had felt her distress,
and it had woken him.
"What's wrong?" He asked softly.
"I keep seeing it over and over again." She sobbed.
Nikkos sat down beside her.
"Seeing what?"
"My wings being ripped out." She replied softly.
The tears spilled over the edges of her lashes.
"Oh Nikkos." She cried, throwing her arms around him and sobbing
into his chest.
"Its all right." He stroked her hair gently. "I'll find a way to
give you your wings back." He kissed the top of her head.
"Don't leave me." She whispered.
"Don't worry, I'll not going anywhere."
