Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: The Movie

I wrote this story 5 years ago (GASP!) when all I had was the DiC dub. That's
why I use some English and Japanese names. I ain't going back to change 'em! :p
Yeah, I know the Starlights don't do anything in my story but fly away, and it's
not in script format, but I couldn't think of anything else for a title.
Sailor Moon is owned by some Japanese people who are not me. Even if did try to
sue me, I wouldn't be able to read the subpoena ;p
1 kecam=around 4 liters
1 gobj=2 months

Part 2:
"DAMN!" Khidf shouted. With good reason. His scout ship wasn't fully
charged and was out of power. Sitting on "Jewelry OSA-P's" roof, the ship did
nothing. It wouldn't even let it's pilot out. It would take him three clicks
for the solar panels to recharge the ship.
"What a waste!"
"Hurry Luna!" Serena said between puffs, "If I . . . run fast . . .
enough . . . I might actually . . . be on . . . time today."
"Good luck," Luna replied, "One more corner to go!"
"Alright! I hope-" CRASH! "Unnh, whose dumb idea was it to put a pole
right there," Serena said, moaning all the way as she lost consciousness.
"Oh, what a meatball-head!" Luna said.
"Luna," Darien's voice behind Luna surprised her, "what happened?"
"Serena was so euphoric about being on time that she forgot there was
a telephone pole here."
"I'll give her a ride. My car is just around the corner."
"So how did it feel to actually be on time for once?" Raye asked.
"I don't know," Serena replied as she wolfed down her lunch, "I
was unconscious at the time. Maybe I'll find out another day."
"Just as you're destined to be Neo-Queen Serenity and the Messiah in
the future, you're also destined to never be on time for school!"
"Shut up Raye! My headache's bad enough as it is. I don't need this
now," she said, rubbing the bandage around her head.
"Hey, you guys," Molly appeared, and asked, "was there a sonic boom
or something last night? I thought I heard something."
"Not that I know of," Amy replied, "the U.S. isn't landing any shuttles
right now."
"Hmmm . . . It feels like weird stuff is always happening to me."
"Hey Serena," Lita said out of nowhere, "maybe you should take Track."
"That's not the problem!" Luna said from her little hiding place, "she
can run pretty well, but I just can't get her out of bed in time. Maybe-"
"No, that's not what I meant. This has nothing to do with that. I
mean, she runs real fast. She might have a chance in the hundred meter dash.
I've seen her run out of places faster than-"
"A chicken with its meatballs cut off?" Raye said.
"Why you. Are you calling me a chicken?"
"No. If I did, I'd be insulting chickens everywhere!"
"Hey you two, I'm serious. Serena can run pretty fast for a short
distance. I just want to see how good she can do against the clock."
"Probably not very good, considering time is her worst enemy."
"Raye . . ."
"C'mon. Just meet the coach at the track after school."
"You mean after detention."
"Raye! I didn't get detention."
"Not now anyways."
"Grrr!"
The music box played, in his opinion, the sweetest music Shecou has
ever heard. The box had a bronze case and a pure silver cover. When opened,
inside was all dark before the music started to play. Then, as the twinkly
music began, little holographic fireworks began to dance around inside. Even
though it was only twice as big as his hand, the silver made it incredibly
valuable. But all that meant nothing to him. As he solemnly stared at the box
with his head resting on his folded hands, he started to doze off . . .
"Get her!"
"NO!" On a dark wall, all that could be seen was a very large shadow
grabbing a smaller, winged, female shadow, pinning her down.
"She has done nothing," the voice easily recognized as Shecou's, "Let
her go!"
"Not yet. You have special abilities Government Conquest and Mining
could put to special use. You have evaded us for too long. GCM will hold your
wife, Nved, until your contract is officially terminated through retirement."
"When will that be?"
"Fifty years is the standard contract length."
"WHAT! I'll never-"
"May I remind you of a little someone named Nved." The two struggling
shadows then disappeared into thin air, leaving behind only a screaming Shecou.
"Report to the closest GCM head quarters next morning. Tell them you
are a Code Four." Though we can finally see a much younger Shecou lying on the
ground, sobbing, all we can see of the other are his legs, wearing all black
pants, before he, too, vanishes into thin air . . .
"AAAH!" Shecou is suddenly awake as the music in his wedding present
starts to finish. He closes it, and just sits there, wondering what ever
happened to Nved. Little does he know that GCM already killed her, too much
trouble to care for someone for fifty years. It will have been GCM's greatest
mistake.
"GO!"
At the end of the run, Serena was on the ground, huffing like she'd
never huffed before. More than two seconds later, the rest of the runners
arrived at the finish line.
"Ten point nine seconds! That's a record for Jubaan!"
"WHAT?!" shouted Raye, "is Serena actually good at something?"
"Well," Luna whispered into her ear, "she can throw a frisbee pretty
good."
"Way to go! Great job!" and similar comments came from the rest of
Serena's friends. The other runners were also congratulating her as well. Two
minutes later, she was finally able to get up, but was still breathing hard.
"Miss Tsukino," the coach began, "you did a great job, and now I want
you to run the two hundred meter dash," he said, pointing to the starting line.
"Sure," she replied, "just give me a couple hours to rest."
"Ha, ha. Very funny. Now take your place and-"
"I . . . was . . . serious."
"Oh! Well then . . . um . . . we're just going to have to do something
about that, aren't we? I think we should start some kind of program to help
those lungs get more oxygen to those incredibly fast 'thinking: and cute' legs
of yours."
"No way! The last thing I want to do is go into more training."
"More training?"
"Yeah, uh . . . I'm training for . . . uh . . . choir! Yeah, that's
it. Hee, hee, hee."
"That's no problem. You could do this in your spare time. You know,
eating right, a little exercise before and after you go to bed, and an
occasional run after school here."
"If she doesn't have detention," Raye said.
"GRRRR . . . "
"Look," the coach continued, "she's got Olympic material here. I'd
hate to see that go to waste."
"Olympic material? Do you really mean it?" Her eyes turned sparkly at
this comment.
"Yeah. You just beat Jubaan's best male and female runners just now,
with time to spare. I see great things in you future."
If you only knew, was the scouts' only thought.
"C'mon, let's see you do the two hundred."
"FINALLY!" Khidf shouted as he started to reenergize the ship. In a
minutes, he would be able to leave the ship and start collecting the silver in
this building.
*Ship reenergized. Initiating restart.* 'Damn he hated that computer!
It wasn't trustworthy.' These new Artificial Intelligence computers sometimes
turned against GCM employees. He could only hope it didn't betray him. *Ship
restarted. Awaiting command*
"Open door."
'Why did he have to come here?' Serena thought. The coach wanted to
talk to her parents about her little gift, undoubtedly her most normal.
"She beat Jubaan's best runners by more than two seconds. That's a lot
in the dashes. I would like her to add Track to her after school roster for
two reasons. The first is obvious, so she can improve her running. But I also
want to see if there is anything else she might be good at.
"Good luck," Sammy said, "she has the coordination of an albatross,
the endurance of an ape, and the self control of a hyena. She couldn't possibly
be good at physical stuff."
Serena's face became redder and more flame-like with every comment of
Sammy's. The last one made her snap and was instantly after a very scared
little boy.
"See what I mean. Look how fast she can run."
"Uh, huh. Excuse me. SERENA, SAMUEL! Sit down NOW!" The whole house
shook with Kenji's scream and the two siblings were instantly on the couch.
"Now as I was saying-" But the phone interrupted the coach.
"Hello," Serena answered, "Hellooo? Is anyone there? Whoa!" She reeled
at the scream that emanated from the phone. Then the line went dead, and the
phone company machine told her the line to this number was indefinently
disconnected.
"My God that was Molly!"
"Oh, no! Call the police, Serena," Ikuko shouted, but she was already
out the door. When she ran into a dark alley she took out her Eternal Moon
Article, and said, "I'm not taking any chances. MOON ETERNAL, MAKE UP!"
After doing her intricate dance, she was transformed, and proceeded
to travel by rooftop. She was at Molly's real soon, and went in through a
broken window. What met her was "Jewelry OSA-P" totally torn apart, and then
Molly's unconscious body flying towards her. She was barely able to catch her.
"Who the heck are you?!" The voice surprised Sailor Moon. She looked
up with a big sweat drop forming at the back of her head in time to see Khidf
standing there, jewelry in one hand, a large bag in the other, and trembling
slightly. She barely mounted the courage to introduce herself:
"I don't know who you are, but all I need to know is that you hurt my
friend. For love and justice, I am the Sailor Suited Pretty Soldier Eternal
Sailor Moon. And in the place of the Moon, I will punish you!" she said, all
the while doing her famous pose.
"A Sailor Scout? Oh, ho, ho! It is said that no one from this universe
can defeat a Sailor Scout except another Sailor Scout. I am Captain Khidf,
senior member of Government Conquest and Mining, of the Xilaruri Empire, and
I would be very happy to test that theory." Khidf placed the jewels in his
hand inside the bag, and then set it down. He then took a fighting stance,
with his right hand sticking out like he was holding a ball. He started to do
a deep growl, and soon a white hot ball of energy was forming.
"Uh, oh. Looks like I bit off more than I can chew," she said with a
whimper. Khidf then drew back and held the ball Street Fighter style, ready
to launch the energy.
Still whimpering a bit, Sailor Moon said, "What do I do?" She then
looked down at Molly's unconscious body, regained her courage, and thought:
'experiment time.' She started to run toward Khidf as he was ready to launch
his attack.
"HEAT WAVE!" Khidf shouted, and released a beam of hot energy towards
Sailor Moon's upper body. At the same time, she shouted:
"SAILOR MOON GROUND SLIDE!" With that she was sliding on the ground,
her feet going towards Khidf. His attack passed over Sailor Moon harmlessly,
and when she contacted, Khidf went flying and hit the wall incredibly hard.
"ARRRGH!" He was now lying on the ground, amazed at how much that
really hurt. Sailor Moon got up, turned around, took out her Eternal Tier,
and began her incantation:
"SILVER MOON CRYSTAL-" but Khidf had regained some strength, bounded
over Sailor Moon, grabbed his bag, and flew out the window.
"You haven't seen the last of me, Eternal Sailor Moon!" At the top of
the building, he painfully entered his ship, and muttered only one command:
"Home."
*Affirmative* On the way to the base, Khidf dismissed his defeat, no,
minor setback, to the planet's cold temperature. At least he got what he came
for. The data on the infodiscs would probably confirm his theory that this
Eternal Sailor Moon was at the source of those earlier anomalies. The silver
was an added bonus. Two pahceds! He had a small fortune! Too bad his siblings
knew about it. As he went to sleep for his two hour trip, he said to himself,
"This Sailor Moon is certainly powerful. And cute. Too bad I have to destroy
her. I could've had some fun with her."
Molly woke up just in time to see Sailor Moon bounding out her broken
window. A second later she heard Serena coming in through the front door.
"What happened?!" she asked, as if she didn't know.
"Some nut in a costume attacked me and," she paused as she looked at
her mother's store, "stole a whole bunch of silver jewelry. I, uh, tried to
stop him. My mom has a gun hidden around here. But when I tried to use on him,
he pulled it out of my hand from across the room, and crushed it! He then
came after me and slapped me. That's all I remember. When I woke up, I saw
Eternal Sailor Moon leaping out of my window. She must have saved me. She's
so heroic! Then you came in. Hey! How did you know I was in trouble?"
"Didn't you call me on the phone? Personally, I would've called the
police."
"I don't remember using the phone. But I was close to it when that
jerk slapped me. I have your number on one of my speed dials. I might have
accidentally dialed it when I fell. Oh, you're such a good friend!" The two
hugged each other until the police came.
"OH, MY GOD! Molly, are you okay?" Molly's mother came running in and
immediately hugged her. And only because she was in the way, Serena, too.
"I'm fine, mom. Sailor Moon saved me."
"Thank goodness. Oh, Serena. Thank you for coming over."
"No problem. I-"
"Excuse me, miss," the policeman announced to Serena, "Unless you're
a witness or family, please wait outside."
"Oh, it's okay. She's almost family," Molly said.
"I'm sorry, but those are the regulations. You can see her later
tonight when we have the area more sanitized."
"Oh, okay," was her only reply as she stood up to leave.
"Sorry Serena." Outside, Serena met up with her family.
"What happened?" Ikuko asked.
"A, uh, thief attacked Molly."
"That's terrible! Is she alright?" Kenji asked.
"Yeah. Sailor Moon saved her in the nick of time." She loved to pat
herself on the back.
"Cool! Did you see her?" Sammy eagerly asked.
"Nope. She was long gone."
"You know," the coach interrupted, "maybe we should finish our
discussion tomorrow morning, while Serena's at school. Around eleven? I need
to go."
"Okay. See you tomorrow then." Serena's parents bowed to the coach,
and he left. Serena was happy to see him leave.
"Oh! My friends are here. They probably want to know what happened.
I'll go tell them."
"Okay, just don't wander too far. That nut might still be around. Come
home as soon as possible." Kenji told her.
"I will," was her reply as she ran towards her friends.
"What happened?" Amy asked.
"A daemon attacked Molly and robbed the jewelry store."
"Wow. Is she okay?"
"Yeah. I saved her. But I think I got lucky. He looked cold and pre-
occupied with something else."
"Cold? It's thirty-four out here!" Haruka exclaimed.
"He also had an attack he called Heat Wave. Maybe he likes to be warm."
During this, Amy took out her mini-computer and started to scan the
area.
"I've found some kind of trail leading away from the store. Super-
heated ions. Where did he leave from?"
"The roof."
"I'll go up there right now to see if I can't find more data." She
snuck around into an alley and shouted:
"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!" After she transformed, she was in-
stantly on the roof, and she turned on her visor. She traced the ion trail,
and saw the source was still moving. She programmed her computer to tell her
when the source stopped moving. She looked around for anything else, and only
found some sand. She placed some in a little vial. When she saw there was
nothing else to investigate, she jumped back down into the alley, detransformed,
and rejoined her friends.
"What did you find? I'm ready to go bad guy stomping," Lita said.
"Something left a trail, probably a ship. It's moving, but my computer
will tell me when it stops. It's heading westsouthwest at forty-five hundred
kilometers an hour."
"Whew! That's incredibly fast," Michiru said, "that must've been the
sonic boom Molly heard last night."
"Right. I also found some sand. The computer's analyzing it right now,
but I think I already know where it's from and where he's going."
"Where?" they all asked.
"The inclination towards heat, the sand, and his westsouthwesterly
direction? It should be obvious. The Sahara."
Becky and her father were waiting in the intense heat of a private
airport in Tamanrasset, Algeria. A small Cessna was landing in front of them.
A few minutes later a Hispanic teenager got out of the plane, followed by an
African with her luggage. The moment she stepped off the plane, though, he
dropped the luggage and ran back into the plane. Then the Cessna took off
faster than they thought was possible.
"What's with them?" she asked as she picked up her luggage.
"Oh, you know. Ancient tales of demons and stuff. Hi! I'm Becky, and-"
"Becky! Excuse her, but she hates the heat. It makes her edgy. The
natives say that it's way too hot, even for the Sahara. They say it's because
ancient demons are returning to Earth, and that they'll turn everything to a
desert, so they want to get as far away from here as possible. My name's Paul
Williams, and this is my very enthusiastic daughter, Becky Williams."
"Hi!"
"Hi! I'm Gloria Cervantes." Then there was a very awkward pause. "Um,
are we waiting for something?"
"Yeah, another Cessna is coming to take us to our base," Becky said,
"the pilot's Japanese so he won't be scared by these tribal tales."
"Becky! Ahh. The plane's coming." And in front of them, there surely
landed a white Cessna. The pilot inside asked them if they had brought all the
necessary supplies. They all agreed.
"Well then, hop on and grab a seat. My name's Masato." But Becky and
Gloria bumped into each other. They were both trying to get to the front seat
so they could sit next to the pilot they both thought was cute. Paul saw this
and took the front seat himself.
"Everyone strapped in? Alrighty then, we're off!" He took off and
headed northward, towards what they all agreed was actually a hotter climate.
"Shecou! I've got something on my scanner. Can you verify?"
"Yeah. A small atmospheric aircraft, internal combustion engine, four
locals inside. They're heading in our general direction."
"Mmm, heh, heh, heh. Looks like we're about to have a little fun! How
long 'til they get here?"
"A their present rate, three clicks."
"Khidf's due back in three clicks. He'll surely scare them into
landing, and then we'll grab them and occupy ourselves." They both started to
chuckle in an evil manner, only to be interrupted by the ship's scanner again.
"What is it?" Shecou asked.
"It's a local. I've had it on my scanner for some clicks now, but it
wasn't heading in our direction until now. Verify it." She didn't like this
verification procedure. It was a waste of time.
"Verified. Huh?!"
"What?"
"At it's present rate, it'll arrive here in three clicks," he said, a
look of concern building on his face.
"Huh?! That's weird. Five locals heading straight for us and arriving
at the same time as our brother? I hope it's more than a coincidence."
"So do I, sister. So do I." He looked out the window into the desert,
and then all you can see was the desert. Then you can see Amiri walking across
the desert. Again we see nothing but desert, and then we can see inside the
Cessna, the four friends talking to each other. Five people, innocently heading
towards a great evil.

senior member of Government Conquest and Mining, of the Xilaruri Empire, and
I would be very happy to test that theory." Khidf placed the jewels in his
hand inside the bag, and then set it down. He then took a fighting stance,
with his right hand sticking out like he was holding a ball. He started to do
a deep growl, and soon a white hot ball of energy was forming.
"Uh, oh. Looks like I bit off more than I can chew," she said with a
whimper. Khidf then drew back and held the ball Street Fighter style, ready
to launch the energy.
Still whimpering a bit, Sailor Moon said, "What do I do?" She then
looked down at Molly's unconscious body, regained her courage, and thought:
'experiment time.' She started to run toward Khidf as he was ready to launch
his attack.
"HEAT WAVE!" Khidf shouted, and released a beam of hot energy towards
Sailor Moon's upper body. At the same time, she shouted:
"SAILOR MOON GROUND SLIDE!" With that she was sliding on the ground,
her feet going towards Khidf. His attack passed over Sailor Moon harmlessly,
and when she contacted, Khidf went flying and hit the wall incredibly hard.
"ARRRGH!" He was now lying on the ground, amazed at how much that
really hurt. Sailor Moon got up, turned around, took out her Eternal Tier,
and began her incantation:
"SILVER MOON CRYSTAL-" but Khidf had regained some strength, bounded
over Sailor Moon, grabbed his bag, and flew out the window.
"You haven't seen the last of me, Eternal Sailor Moon!" At the top of
the building, he painfully entered his ship, and muttered only one command:
"Home."
*Affirmative* On the way to the base, Khidf dismissed his defeat, no,
minor setback, to the planet's cold temperature. At least he got what he came
for. The data on the infodiscs would probably confirm his theory that this
Eternal Sailor Moon was at the source of those earlier anomalies. The silver
was an added bonus. Two pahceds! He had a small fortune! Too bad his siblings
knew about it. As he went to sleep for his two hour trip, he said to himself,
"This Sailor Moon is certainly powerful. And cute. Too bad I have to destroy
her. I could've had some fun with her."
Molly woke up just in time to see Sailor Moon bounding out her broken
window. A second later she heard Serena coming in through the front door.
"What happened?!" she asked, as if she didn't know.
"Some nut in a costume attacked me and," she paused as she looked at
her mother's store, "stole a whole bunch of silver jewelry. I, uh, tried to
stop him. My mom has a gun hidden around here. But when I tried to use on him,
he pulled it out of my hand from across the room, and crushed it! He then
came after me and slapped me. That's all I remember. When I woke up, I saw
Eternal Sailor Moon leaping out of my window. She must have saved me. She's
so heroic! Then you came in. Hey! How did you know I was in trouble?"
"Didn't you call me on the phone? Personally, I would've called the
police."
"I don't remember using the phone. But I was close to it when that
jerk slapped me. I have your number on one of my speed dials. I might have
accidentally dialed it when I fell. Oh, you're such a good friend!" The two
hugged each other until the police came.
"OH, MY GOD! Molly, are you okay?" Molly's mother came running in and
immediately hugged her. And only because she was in the way, Serena, too.
"I'm fine, mom. Sailor Moon saved me."
"Thank goodness. Oh, Serena. Thank you for coming over."
"No problem. I-"
"Excuse me, miss," the policeman announced to Serena, "Unless you're
a witness or family, please wait outside."
"Oh, it's okay. She's almost family," Molly said.
"I'm sorry, but those are the regulations. You can see her later
tonight when we have the area more sanitized."
"Oh, okay," was her only reply as she stood up to leave.
"Sorry Serena." Outside, Serena met up with her family.
"What happened?" Ikuko asked.
"A, uh, thief attacked Molly."
"That's terrible! Is she alright?" Kenji asked.
"Yeah. Sailor Moon saved her in the nick of time." She loved to pat
herself on the back.
"Cool! Did you see her?" Sammy eagerly asked.
"Nope. She was long gone."
"You know," the coach interrupted, "maybe we should finish our
discussion tomorrow morning, while Serena's at school. Around eleven? I need
to go."
"Okay. See you tomorrow then." Serena's parents bowed to the coach,
and he left. Serena was happy to see him leave.
"Oh! My friends are here. They probably want to know what happened.
I'll go tell them."
"Okay, just don't wander too far. That nut might still be around. Come
home as soon as possible." Kenji told her.
"I will," was her reply as she ran towards her friends.
"What happened?" Amy asked.
"A daemon attacked Molly and robbed the jewelry store."
"Wow. Is she okay?"
"Yeah. I saved her. But I think I got lucky. He looked cold and pre-
occupied with something else."
"Cold? It's thirty-four out here!" Haruka exclaimed.
"He also had an attack he called Heat Wave. Maybe he likes to be warm."
During this, Amy took out her mini-computer and started to scan the
area.
"I've found some kind of trail leading away from the store. Super-
heated ions. Where did he leave from?"
"The roof."
"I'll go up there right now to see if I can't find more data." She
snuck around into an alley and shouted:
"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!" After she transformed, she was in-
stantly on the roof, and she turned on her visor. She traced the ion trail,
and saw the source was still moving. She programmed her computer to tell her
when the source stopped moving. She looked around for anything else, and only
found some sand. She placed some in a little vial. When she saw there was
nothing else to investigate, she jumped back down into the alley, detransformed,
and rejoined her friends.
"What did you find? I'm ready to go bad guy stomping," Lita said.
"Something left a trail, probably a ship. It's moving, but my computer
will tell me when it stops. It's heading westsouthwest at forty-five hundred
kilometers an hour."
"Whew! That's incredibly fast," Michiru said, "that must've been the
sonic boom Molly heard last night."
"Right. I also found some sand. The computer's analyzing it right now,
but I think I already know where it's from and where he's going."
"Where?" they all asked.
"The inclination towards heat, the sand, and his westsouthwesterly
direction? It should be obvious. The Sahara."
Becky and her father were waiting in the intense heat of a private
airport in Tamanrasset, Algeria. A small Cessna was landing in front of them.
A few minutes later a Hispanic teenager got out of the plane, followed by an
African with her luggage. The moment she stepped off the plane, though, he
dropped the luggage and ran back into the plane. Then the Cessna took off
faster than they thought was possible.
"What's with them?" she asked as she picked up her luggage.
"Oh, you know. Ancient tales of demons and stuff. Hi! I'm Becky, and-"
"Becky! Excuse her, but she hates the heat. It makes her edgy. The
natives say that it's way too hot, even for the Sahara. They say it's because
ancient demons are returning to Earth, and that they'll turn everything to a
desert, so they want to get as far away from here as possible. My name's Paul
Williams, and this is my very enthusiastic daughter, Becky Williams."
"Hi!"
"Hi! I'm Gloria Cervantes." Then there was a very awkward pause. "Um,
are we waiting for something?"
"Yeah, another Cessna is coming to take us to our base," Becky said,
"the pilot's Japanese so he won't be scared by these tribal tales."
"Becky! Ahh. The plane's coming." And in front of them, there surely
landed a white Cessna. The pilot inside asked them if they had brought all the
necessary supplies. They all agreed.
"Well then, hop on and grab a seat. My name's Masato." But Becky and
Gloria bumped into each other. They were both trying to get to the front seat
so they could sit next to the pilot they both thought was cute. Paul saw this
and took the front seat himself.
"Everyone strapped in? Alrighty then, we're off!" He took off and
headed northward, towards what they all agreed was actually a hotter climate.
"Shecou! I've got something on my scanner. Can you verify?"
"Yeah. A small atmospheric aircraft, internal combustion engine, four
locals inside. They're heading in our general direction."
"Mmm, heh, heh, heh. Looks like we're about to have a little fun! How
long 'til they get here?"
"A their present rate, three clicks."
"Khidf's due back in three clicks. He'll surely scare them into
landing, and then we'll grab them and occupy ourselves." They both started to
chuckle in an evil manner, only to be interrupted by the ship's scanner again.
"What is it?" Shecou asked.
"It's a local. I've had it on my scanner for some clicks now, but it
wasn't heading in our direction until now. Verify it." She didn't like this
verification procedure. It was a waste of time.
"Verified. Huh?!"
"What?"
"At it's present rate, it'll arrive here in three clicks," he said, a
look of concern building on his face.
"Huh?! That's weird. Five locals heading straight for us and arriving
at the same time as our brother? I hope it's more than a coincidence."
"So do I, sister. So do I." He looked out the window into the desert,
and then all you can see was the desert. Then you can see Amiri walking across
the desert. Again we see nothing but desert, and then we can see inside the
Cessna, the four friends talking to each other. Five people, innocently heading
towards a great evil.
