~Hoshiko

Ch 2

'Do you know how long it's been sense Queen Serenity last ruled the moon?' A dark figure asked. Four people stood in front of her. They were all still, silent. 'It has been fifty-one years sense then. The Sailor Scouts have grown old and powerless. They cannot defend the earth as they once had. This is the time to attack. We have taken the moon, now it is time to take a bigger step. It is time to take over the earth, and all of mankind.' The figure finished and stepped into the light. She was a very tall, blue skinned woman with green hair. The dress she wore fit her figure and she looked beautiful. Her name was Neo Berryl, and she had once again taken over the moon. 'Now, you are dismissed.' She said, and the four people bowed, leaving.

Hoshiko sat in the back of class, furiously taking her math notes. Math. Ick. She hated Math, everything about Math. When would she use proofs in every day life? Never. But, it didn't matter, she couldn't drop it. When the bell rang she stopped her pencil and sighed, leaning back in her chair. In fact, the only good thing about Math was she could sit next to her crush. Sasaki Danji.

'Meh, why does he have to be so damn hot?' she muttered and gathered her things. She wanted to go home. Now. She walked down the hall and to her locker. Hurrying, she gathered her books and put on her book bag. While she walked to the door someone put their foot out and tripped her. She landed flat on her face and when she looked to see who it was she stopped. It was Toshiro Yuki, the most popular girl in the eight grade, and she had the most pleased look on her face. Hoshiko wanted to hit it.

'What's your problem?' she screamed, jumping up. Yuki just smirked, however, blonde hair flowing behind her.

'My problem?' she said at last. 'You stepped on me!' Hoshiko's mouth dropped to the floor. How dare she? What was her problem, all the time?

'Ugh, I did not and you know it.' she said and turned.

'Dork.'

'Prep.' Hoshiko walked away, face red. She hated that girl, everything about her. She was blonde, and preppy, with a perfect complexion and gorgeous eyes. She stood for everything Hoshiko was utterly against, and they loathed each other, totally. But, if you leave Hoshiko alone, Hoshiko will leave you alone. This girl had yet to get that through her thick skull.

Hoshiko walked home alone, and when she got there she found her cat waiting outside the door. That was strange, Dai was never allowed out of her apartment.

'What are you doing outside?' she asked and picked her cat up, setting her down on the table. The cat meowed and jumped off the table, walking into Hoshiko's room. Hoshiko followed, having nothing better to do, and gasped when she walked in the room.

There, on her bed was the ceptor that she had found after that strange dream, and not only had it moved on it's own, but it was glowing. She went closer to it and it started to float in mid-air.

'Wha-what's happening?' she asked herself and Dai looked at her.

'It's found you.' Her cat said, and Hoshiko practically jumped.

'Wah! You can talk!' she said and Dai nodded.

'Yes, yes, I can talk.' Dai said with the most impatient look on her face. 'And it should be no surprise to you. I used to talk to you when you were a child, but this is no time for a flash-back. Remember that dream you had a little while ago?'

'Y-yes…' Hoshiko said, she could faintly remember Dai talking before.

'Well, it was real. You are the new Sailor leader, Sailor Europa, or Neo Moon. Your cousin was Queen Serenity and it is your turn now to help save the world. Now, there is danger coming around soon and it can sense it. You will need to change into a Sailor scout to help defeat it. Take it.'

'What?' Hoshiko asked, coming closer to it. She didn't exactly trust a glowing rod and a talking cat.

'Take it. You will need it if you are to do anything.' She said and slowly Hoshiko reached up and took it in her hands. It stopped glowing and let her hold it. When she moved it, though, another thing took it's place. A compact. A small, round compact appeared before her.

'This is the Moon compact, like one of the ones Usagi used to change into Sailor Moon. It will help you change.' She said and Hoshiko took this too. She looked at it closely and found the cancer sign written in the red heart in the middle.

'Why… why am I Neo Sailor Moon?' she asked and Dai sat.

'Because you are Europa, Princess of the Moons of Jupiter. You used to help rule them before they were taken over by Queen Berryl. Now, Queen Berryl was destroyed by the Sailor Scouts years ago, but she has come back. There is no telling what she has coo-' but Dai did not get to finish her sentence because there was a loud explosion outside their window. Both looked there, and saw that it was about a mile away.

'Come along, first call.' She said and hopped off her bed. Hoshiko looked after her and followed in a second, fumbling with the items she held in her hands.

'Wait, Dai, I can't run that fast!' she called and Dai was waiting at the bottom of the stairs for her.

'Hurry, girl, hurry, we must get there!' she said, and Hoshiko ran down the street, going to the explosion. 'It is a good thing you don't run track, your slower than a turtle!' Dai said and Hoshiko reached the place where they had seen the explosion.

They found half a building there when they got there, but no reason to be found any where, until another blow came from above them. It was something Hoshiko had never seen before and she squinted to see it correctly. It was, it seemed, a person, with the hands of a hammer, though it couldn't have been a person because their skin was a light gray. When it saw them it laughed.

'Uh… Dai…' Hoshiko said, watching it stare at them. 'What do I do now?'

'Change, hurry and change!' Dai said and Hoshiko shook her head.

'How?'

'Oh, do I have to tell you everything? Say 'neo moon power make up!''

'Neo moon power make up.' Hoshiko muttered and Dai rolled her eyes.

'With feeling!' She said, and Hoshiko looked at her compact, holding it out in front of her.

'Neo moon power make up!' she cried and transformed into Neo Moon. When she came out of her transformation she had the traditional Sailor Scout uniform on with a blue skirt, with a maroon bow and white top.

'Wonderful!' Dai cried, and looked at the opposing force. 'Now would be a good time to attack before it do-' but she was too late, and it sent out an attack, tiny hammers shooting from it's mouth. Dai ran behind a trash can, though, and smiled with a sweat drop. 'Ok, this is your fight, not mine!' she said and watched Hoshiko as she jumped to the side to avoid the showering of hammers. She held her ceptor out in front of her and pointed it at the enemy.

'Moon Ice Plummet!' she cried and a stream of ice-shaped crystals flew out of her staff, flew around her, and shot at the enemy. It hit the enemy dead on and it screeched it pain, being blown back into the building. Hoshiko smiled, but too soon, and it recovered quickly. It held out one of it's hammer hands and shot out two huge balls of energy. These hit Hoshiko right in the chest and threw her back in the wall. She made a quite large hole in the wall and didn't move. The enemy laughed a screeching laugh, and turned to destroy the rest of the building.

Dai watched from the side-lines, and gasped when she saw what happened to Hoshiko.

'Oh, dear, she needs help!' she said and ran away down an alley. Hoshiko, in the mean time, began to stir, and while the enemy was destroying the rest of the building she stood slowly, and put out her hands.

'Moon ray shot!' she cried, cringing at the use of strength. Out of her wrist came a thin, blue ray, and it hit the enemy again, but not as effectively as last time, and it turned.

'Think you're strong, do you?' it said and attacked her again, this time with a long ray of light. It kept hurting Hoshiko, and she tried to fight against it. Nothing worked, though, and the enemy laughed. 'This'll teach you to mess with m-' she said, but was cut off because she was thrown forward into the wall next to Neo Moon. Her attack stopped on the new senshi, and Neo Moon collapsed to the ground.

The enemy looked at the new intruder, but did not get time to react, because she was destroyed by a blast of roses moments later. The figure walked over to Neo Moon and picked her up. At the movement, Neo opened her eyes and looked at her savior. He wasn't much taller than her, but strong, wearing a tuxedo and black mask. His black hair fell neatly over his forehead, and the short cut bounced a little when he walked.

'Who are you?' she asked, and he looked down at her, finding her awake. He said nothing, though, and kept walking. 'Where are you taking me?'

'Your house.' He said and she shifted in his arms.

'How do you know where I live?' she asked, but he did not answer. He just kept walking. After a moment she squirmed, a tried to sit up. 'Let me down.' He shrugged and set her down on the ground.

'You're very weak, you know.' He said, face not showing any emotion.

'Excuse me?'

'You have not gotten a hold of your powers yet, you would have perished if it weren't for me.' He said, and her jaw practically dropped to the ground.

'I would have done fine!' she said with a huff, turning around.

'Sure.' He said, and her face grew red.

'Now wait just a min-' she said, turning, but she did not finish because he had disappeared. 'minute…' she muttered, looking around the sky for him. He was no where to be found.

'Neo Moon!' a voice called, and she saw Dai running towards her. The cat looked at the injured Sailor and shook her head when she got to her.

'Where'd he go?'

'Who?' the cat looked puzzled and Neo shook her head.

'That guy, he was here a second ago…' she said and Dai nodded.

'Come along, you've got a nasty gash on your forehead. You are probably just dazed.' She said, and started walking towards their apartment. Neo followed, but stopped short, seeing the state her clothes were in.

'Just a minute, I need to change back.' She said, and walked off into an alley. She emerged a second later, back in her old clothes, her scepter gone. 'I twisted my ankle…' she said as she walked up to Dai.

'Are you alright besides that?'

'Yes.' Hoshiko said. She did not feel like talking now, her mind was buzzing with all the things that had happened to her in the past hour. 'So, let me get this straight… I'm an old princess of a moon of Jupiter… I have super-powers and can change into a Sailor Scout.' She said, a grin on her face. 'SUGOI!!' she cried, and posed with a peace sign. Dai just sweat dropped, and shook her head.

'This is going to be a long battle.' She said, and kept walking, Hoshiko running to catch up with her.

'What do you mean by that?'

'You're not at your full string yet. And it may take you a long time. Believe me, it did last time.'

'Last time?' Hoshiko asked, and the cat sighed.

'Yes, last time. You see… I used to be another cat named Luna. As Luna I helped Usagi gain control of her powers, and helped the rest of the Sailor Scouts. I was sent here again to help you, now.' She explained, and Hoshiko nodded.

'Oohhh… so you know this stuff first hand?' she asked, picking Dai up. Dai nodded as Hoshiko scratched behind her ear.

'Yes I do, and believe or not, you and Usagi are not much different.' She said, and Hoshiko shrugged, walking home.
