Bishoujo Senshi Sailororion
Episode One: "A Trap at the Elementary School! Who is that Masked Man?"


"You called, great Lord Diabolus?" said Centaurus, bowing quickly. She and the other Dark Starz had arrived after being summoned by their Lord.
"Yes. I have selected a target for you," Diabolus aid.
Lyra's face went slightly pale.
"But your eminence, my computer is tracking down a target for us as we speak--"
"You and your little 'computer' failed me last time, Lyra! And I suggest you keep your mouth shut until spoken to! Am I clear???" Diabolus yelled.
Lyra nodded. "Yes, my Lord," she said, a sullen look on her face.
"Good. Sirius has informed me of a most excellent plan."
Sirius smirked.
"It is very simple. The Naiyasuishou has returned to its former hostess from the Silver Millennium, Princess Calantha, also known as Sailororion. You will locate her, and bring the crystal back to me immediately!" said Diabolus.
"That's genius!" Vulpecula cried.
"Isn't it just?" said Diabolus, rather smugly.
Serpens stepped forward.
"Not to doubt you, my Lord, but in the unlikely event that Sailororion does not hold the proper crystal, what shall we do with her's? Destroy it?" she asked.
Diabolus paused for a moment, thinking.
Sirius spoke before him.
"I say we keep it with us. You never know how useful it could be!" she said quickly.
Diabolus nodded.
"Very well then. Dark Starz dismissed!"

Back in Lyra's laboratory, the group was pondering ways to get Sailororion's soul crystal.
Suddenly, Centaurus snapped her fingers, and exclaimed, "I've got it!"
The others looked at her.
"Well?" questioned Vulpecula.
"It's perfect! We simply use one of our own as bait, and lure her into a trap! Then, when she appears, we snatch the crystal!" Centaurus said. "Lyra, use your computer and find us a major event happening today. Something public."
"Excellent! But who shall be the bait? It's gotta be someone no one would expect..." said Serpens.
"Someone cute..."
"Someone small..."
"Someone innocent..."
Columba pondered to herself, not noticing how the others were grinning slyly at her.
"Wowies, where in the world are we gonna find someone like that?" she asked cutely.

"Why are we doing this again???" Arashi complained.
"Because we're good citizens, that's why!" Kokorono Kyousou laughed.
"No, because it's the nice thing to do," Sukui said.
Arashi pouted.
"Kids don't like me; and as a matter of fact, I don't really like kids that much either..."
Sukui smiled at her sister.
"Please, they're just in elementary school. They're harmless!"
Arashi nodded.
"Sure..."
Sukui just smiled and shook her head. The three girls had been suckered into volunteering at Akki-chi's class bake sale at the elementary school. Sukui and Kyousou liked the idea, but Arashi seemed reluctant.
"I mean, what's the point of volunteer work if we don't even get paid!?" she complained.
"That's just it, Arashi: to 'volunteer' means 'to do something without pay or reward.' Tell me you knew that..." Kyousou said, a quizzical look on her face.
Arashi blushed and sweatdropped.
"Ah... of course!" she said quickly.

At the bake sale, lots of people were already arriving.
"Wow, major turnout!" noted Kyousou.
"Yes, should raise a lot for the school," added Sukui.
"Girls! You're here!" came a friendly voice from behind them.
"Ohayo, Shihyou-san!" Kyousou greeted the large, homey-looking man. He stood about a foot taller than the girls, with blonde hair, brown eyes, and a very clean-shaven and relaxed look to him. He was Kiyo's fifth grade teacher, and organizer of the bake sale.
"Right this way please! We can't wait to get started! So many people are already here!" he said warmly, leading the girls to the cashier counter.
"We have a few other volunteers working the registers too. Those three-" He paused and pointed to three registers at the end of the table. "-are where you'll be working. Have fun!"
"Thanks!" Sukui called to him.

"Phew! What a sale! Only an hour and almost all the stuff is already sold!" Arashi exclaimed, fanning herself with her hand.
"It's good though, for the school. Where's the money going to again?" Kyousou asked.
"The music department. Thank you ma'am!" Sukui said, handing a woman her change.
"Music. That's good. Music keeps kids out of trouble. Especially if they're in elementary school; they need to be prepared for the peer pressure they'll get in junior high," said Kyousou.
"Yeah, and activities like sports and music will give them something that will help them say no to drugs and alcohol. It's nice to know we're helping to do something good, isn't it Arashi?" Sukui added, gsmirking at Arashi.
"Yeah, and we get free confectionary treats too! Sweeeeet!" she exclaimed, stuffing a homemade lollipop into her mouth.
Sukui blinked suddenly, as she felt something soft rubbing against her leg. She glanced down, and saw Nodus.
"Hey! How'd you get here???" Arashi said, noticing the cat as well.
He looked at Sukui, who immediately understood.
"I'll go call mom to come pick him up. Be right back!" she said, picking up the cat and walking off towards the building.

"Nodus, what's wrong?" Sukui asked, as soon as she was out of Arashi and Kyousou's earshot.
"AAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!"
Sukui gasped as she heard what sounded like a young girl's scream.
"That's what! I could sense the evil approaching, so I brought your rod. You really need to start carrying it with you everywhere!" Nodus lectured, throwing Sukui her henshin rod.
She nodded.
"Orion Star Power, Makeup!"

"Ow! Centaurus you're poking me in the ribs!!!" Columba complained.
"Shut up! You're gonna ruin everything!!! JUST ACT SCARED!!!!" Centaurus hissed.
"AAAAAAGH!!!!!" Columba screamed again.
"Stop right there!"
Centaurus smirked, and looked up.
"Who's there?" she demanded, as if she didn't know.
Sailororion ran into view and began her speech.
"I am Sailororion, champion of justice! With the power of Purity and Dreams on my side, you shall be vanquished in the name of the Constellations!" she said.
Centaurus smirked, and let go of Columba.
Columba giggled.
"Gotcha! Heeheehee!!!!" she laughed.
"What-- AAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!" Sailororion screamed, as the claw from Centaurus' glove reached down through her mouth. Centaurus jerked back her hand, and the claw returned, a solid violet butterfly in its grasp.
Orion collapsed to the ground; in much pain, but remarkably still conscious.
"NOOO!!!" Nodus yelled, running towards her.
Columba giggled.
"Silly kitty! Morsus!!!" she yelled, sending an orange beam of dark energy at Nodus.
"AAAAGH!!!" he screamed in pain, as he was shot back a few feet. He lay on the ground, unable to move.
"This is fun, Centaurus!!!" Columba giggled. She noticed the angered look on her partner's face.
"What's wrong?"
Centaurus glared angrily at the solid violet butterfly.
"Damn it! It's not the right one!" she hissed.
Columba put her pointer finger to her lips and said in a cute way, "So what do we do?"
"We'll have to take it back to-- OW!!!" Centaurus shrieked, as a violet rose flew through the air and scratched her left cheek.
"WHO DID THAT!?" Centaurus screamed.
Columba went pink in the face.
"I'm going home! Bye bye Centaurus!" she waved cutely, jumping into her portal of orange smoke.
Centaurus growled in frustration.
"SHOW YOURSELF!!!!"
"Up here!"
Centaurus looked up on the roof of the elementary school. Standing there, with a cape blowing in the breeze, was a tall young man dressed in black, silver, and violet armor. His hair was sandy blonde, and fell over his shoulders. His eyes were hidden by a black mask, and a sword was sheathed at his left side.
He leapt down off the roof. "I am Orionknight, masked protector of the Sailor Constellations!"
Centaurus snarled.
"I have no time for worthless prettyboys!" she hissed.
She threw Sailororion's soul crystal into the air and yelled, "SOULS INVERT! I call upon... youma Shinjuu!"
The violet butterfly glowed black, and there was an explosion of dark energy as it molded itself into an odd-looking centaur-like youma with a scorpion's body, and a female human head and upper torso. It had a violet star tattooed beneath its neck.
"SHINJUU!!!!" it shrieked.
"Youma Shinjuu, destroy the girl and the prettyboy!" Centaurus ordered, jumping into her portal of violet smoke.
"SHINJUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!" the demon hissed, leaping towards Orionnight, it's deadly scorpion's blade flashing in the sunlight.
Orionknight unsheathed his sword and slashed at the demon's face.
"AAAAAAAGH!!! SHINJUU!!!!" it yelled in pain, as blue blood began oozing down its face.
"Want some more? I thought so!" Orionknight yelled.
He lunged towards the youma, blocking all of its attempts to fight bak.
"AIM.....FOR THE STAR!!!!" Sailororion yelled, using as much energy as she could. Her eyes rolled up into her head, and she lay motionless on the ground.
"DAMNIT!" Orionknight yelled.
He lunged at the demon with all his strength, and drove his sword deep into the violet star.
"SHINJUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!" the youma screamed in pain, exploding in violet light. Orionknight's sword clattered to the ground, the violet butterfly was left hovering above it. He grabbed and quickly rushed to Sailororion.
"I believe this belongs to you..." he said softly, holding the delicate butterfly above Orion's face. It gently fluttered out of his grasp, and was absorbed back into her body.
Color returned to her skin, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Ugh... What--" she moaned, starting to get up.
"Here! I heard the screams coming from over here, behind the school!" a voice was saying.
"Damn it," Orionknight muttered. He scooped up the senshi into his arms and quickly took hold of the black cat.
He bent his knees and shot up into the air, flying over the roof of the school, and to the other side of the building.
He gently set the cat and the senshi down on the grass.
"Thank you so much," Sailororion said gently.
"It's no problem at all."
Orionknight smiled at her.
"You can de-henshin here. No one should see you," he said, turning away to leave.
"And what about you? Are you a Constellation too?" Sailororion asked him.
He stopped and walked back over to her, gently kissing her on the cheek.
"No, but I am your knight. And no matter what, I will always be there to protect you," he said simply.
Sailororion gently touched her glove to her cheek, feeling her face flush pink as he left.
