Chapter Two: When I Heard
"Getting anything Healer?" Fighter asked as she punched a youma away. Maker kicked another away. "They ARE getting more persitent!" Healer opened her eyes and pointed towards a feild that her empathic powers had pointed out. "There! Its invisible!" As the three ran down the hill, stoping to send blasts back at the youma following them every now and then, Fighter grinned at Healer. "You DO come in handy every now and then shorty." she said with a wink. Healer let out a tiny growl then winked back.

Kioko grabbed her dolls before hoping into bed. She planted a kiss on each one's forehead. She hugged them close. She turned to the picture on her nightstand. It was a picture of her and her mother. She was like a tiny image of her mother. They had the same eyes and hair, the same smile. She was on her mother's shoulders, laughing, as the top scoop on her triple scoop ice cream cone hand fallen and landed on her mother's nose. "Mama.......be carefull..........come home soon......"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The three sister starlight senshi looked around. They were in a large, dome shaped room. Their teleportation beam shining bright behind them incase they had to get out quickly. "So you have come SSSStarlightsssss....." an evil voice hissed. The three senshi looked up quickly only to be thrown back. Fighter got to her feet. "Show yourself coward!!" The voice hissed angrily. "You'll regret thosssse wordssss ssssensssssshi!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kioko rolled over in bed and gripped her dolls closer with a shiver of foreboding.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A woman stepped or rather slithered from the shadows. Her uper body was like that of a human, but her lower body was a mass of scaled coils, like that of a snake. She sent a shot out at Fighter who leapt out of the way easily. Instead, the attack crashed into their teleportation site. The beam started to flicker. Healer cursed under her breath as she leapt out of the way of another beam that had come at her. Maker leapt away from an attack and sent her own at the snake-woman, who merely blocked it. Fighter screamed as she was brutaly sent flying into a wall by an enormous blast.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kioko moaned and rolled over again, her face contorted as if she was in a nightmare.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fighter slid down to the ground. She opened blurry blue eyes to see her sisters fighting the evil being and the beam flickering more rapidly. She strugled to her feet. Her sisters were blasted. She shook herself back into reality and ran over to them. The beam was starting to fade, they'd all be trapped there unless.... As her sisters rose to their feet shakily and weakly, she took a deep breath and prepared to do the hardest thing she had ever had to do in her life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Fighter doll fell from Kioko's arms and bounced when it hit the floor. "MOMMY!!!!!" she screamed. She sat bolt up right in bed and screamed her mother's name as loud as she could. Kakyuu ran in to shush the little girl. "Honey, Sweetheart, whats wrong?" Kioko clung to her god-mother. "M-mommy! M-Mommy!" she was getting hysterical and she gripped her god-mother's nightgown tighter. "SOMETHINGS GONNA HAPPEN TO MOMMY!!!!!!" Kakyuu shushed the girl. "No, no, nothings going to happen to your mommy. She'll be back soon with your aunts. Now go back to bed. Your mom will be home in the morning, in time for your birthday, now go back to bed."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fighter grabbed Maker's hand and shoved her into the fading beam of light before she could protest, she disapeared in a flash of violet light. Healer looked at Fighter like she was crasy and tried to get to her feet but failed. "What are you doing?!" she demanded. "Getting you out of here." she stated firmly before shoving her sister into the fading light. "FIGHTER NO!!!" Healer screamed as soon as she was in the light. Fighter looked at her. "Say goodbye to Kioko for me." she whispered loud enough for Healer to hear. Healer's eyes grew wide as the full implaction dawned on her. "NO YOU BAKA!!!! NO!!!" she screamed as she dissapeared. The beam was shattered by the last transportation. Fighter sighed and turned back to her enemy who smirked and sent her flying backward, harder than ever, into a wall. Fighter shakily rose and raised her arm to attack.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Healer looked up from where she lay face down in the dirt and saw Maker coming over to her. As Maker helped her to her feet there was a great shaking and an explosion. They watched in horror as the base exploded, bursting into bright red flames. "FIGHTER!!!!!!!!" they both screamed. Then they heard another noise. They turned. The youma had been waiting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kakyuu walked down the hall from Kioko's room. As she passed the great golden doors to the palace the guards bowed to her. She nodded in recognition but then the doors burst open. Drenched from rain, and barely alive, Maker and Healer stumbled into the room. Kakyuu and the guards dashed to them. Each guard at the side of the door held one of the starlights up. "F..Fighter....." Healer chocked out. Kakyuu paled as Healer's words and those of Kioko crashed in upon her. "Fighter.... stayed... base...exploded..." Maker gasped before passing out. Healer held somthing out in her black gloved hand. Kakyuu realized it was Fighter's Henshin Headset Microphone. "Its all thats left....." she whispered before passing out like Maker.

(WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FIGHTER-CHAN!!!!!!! *crys Usagi style* Anyway, back to the chapter! (Told you it was gonna be longer))

Kioko woke up to the hysteric screams of her god mother. "NO!!! SHE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN KILLED!!!" "Kakyuu-hime?" she whispered and hoped out of bed, putting on her little robe with chibi versions of Sailor Star Fighter on it. She ran down the hall, her bare feet slapping against the cold floor. She reached the main room and let out a gasp. Her aunts were passed out in the arms of two of the palace guards and her god mother was screaming her head off. "NO ITS NOT TRUE!!!!" But worst of all, Fighter, her mommy was not there. She ran over to one of the unoccupied guards. "Where's my mommy?!!" she demanded. The guard looked away. Kioko stepped back and bit her lip, running over to another guard. "Where is she?!!!" the guard turned away as well. She ran to another. "WHERE'S MY MOMMY?!!!!!???!" she screamed. The guard looked away, but this time Kioko saw tears forming in his eyes. Kioko shook her head as the reality started to dawn on her. "No..." she ran over to the last guard that was there. "WHERE IS SHE??!!!!" she screamed, frantic. The guard looked away. Then she saw something lying on the floor, her mother's henshin headset. Kioko picked it up, yelled something incoherent and ran down the hall screaming for her mother. "MOMMY!!" she screamed once more. She ran outside to the old oak tree where she and her mother had come when she taught Kioko how to climb a tree. She was hoping her mother was there, just waiting for her, smiling like normal, her raven hair blowing in the wind, her blue eyes sparkling with her love for her daughter...but she wasn't. Kioko fell to her knees under the big branches of the oak tree and let out the most heartwrenching scream you could ever imagine. "*OKASAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OKASAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Okasan means mother, mommy, that kinda thing ^^;

The next day.......
Kioko was sniffling in bed. She was staring at the picture of her mother when the icecream had fallen on her nose. "Mommy..." she whispered, broken.

Okay now thats the real end. The next has a little comedy to help lighten
the mood, namely the Earth Senshi come for the funeral and someone
slips up, namely one sandy-haired, tomboy, senshi of the sky. ^^;;;
