Chapter 2
"Airnhrod-kun, aren't you coming too?",asks Paul curiously but Airnhrod shakes her head.
"No, I'll be doing the usual.You guys have a great time.",says Airnhrod as I smile sadly at my best friend.
"Airnhrod-chan, I'll leave you a dance when they play our song. Okay and you'd better be there because I don't want to have to hunt you down. Ja ne Airnhrod-chan.",I say as Airnhrod nods happily.
"Can I barrow one of your dresses, Airnhrod-chan then?",asks Airnhrod as I nod firmly.
"Of course Airnhrod-chan.Ja ne.",I say as Airnhrod rushes towards my room.
I take his arm happily while he leads me into the huge crowd of onlookers.
I can hear Princess Candace of Fire planet whistling loudly while being hushed by her knight.
Princess Alyson of Water claps loudly as her knight does too.
Princess Bakula of Earth whistles loudly too as does her knight who are getting looks from the crowd for being so loud.
I smile as my friends are here including Airnhrod who sits with her father proudly.
My mother and father stand up as everyone is quiet and anxious to her what they have to say.
"Argito minna for coming. As most of you have heard this party is in honor of our daughter Princess Charity and her knight. I think that it is only fitting that they should start us off with the first dance.",says my mother proudly as the lights are all dimmed except for one that is spotlighted on us.
Paul leads me off towards the middle of the ballroom as everyone let's us through.
"This is really embaressing. By the way do you know how to dance?",I say quietly as Paul nods.
"Hai, Sky-sempain taught me how which is why I had to leave so quickly yesteday.",says Paul as a slow dance song comes on.
He grabs my waist and we do a slow dance together.
I put my head on his shoulder as he does the same.
I close my eyes and just tune out everyone's quiet whispers except for Paul that whispers things in my ear.
Some of them make me blush as he laughes happily.
Then the song ends as we notice that the song has changed to something more up beat.
I ask Paul if it's alright and he agrees.
I go over to Airnhrod and ask her if she wants to dance with me.
She agrees happily as does Sky.
I grab her hand as both get down to the upbeat tempo of the music.
We get totally crazy when we're together but it's fun to be dancing with my best friend.
After the dance...we go and get some punch.
"I wish Yuir-chan was here. He'd enjoy this.",says Airnhrod as she gets another drink.
"Maybe he can be if you don't tell anyone what I'm about to do, Airnhrod-chan.",I say as Airnhrod nods happily and sets her glass down.
"Deal. What are you going to do, Charity-chan?",says Airnhrod curiously as I smile at her slyly.
"Goddess, make Yuir-chan human. So mote it be.",I say as Yuir appears in human form except for his tail and two black cat ears.
He smiles once he sees Airnhrod and twirls her around happily.
"Argito Charity-chan, you're the best. Come on Yuir-chan, I want you to meet my dad.",says Airnhrod as she drags him towards Sky who is sitting paintently in his chair.
Paul puts down my glass as he takes me to where everyone else is dancing to the songs with their partners.
Yuir is dipping Airnhrod as she purrs loudly.
Then they come together and both purr as one big cat/human.
Her 3rd eye like mine glows brightly because she's having a great time.
I'm glad that she met somebody that loves her as an equal.
We dance happily together as he kisses me on my neck softly.
The Fire group whistles together as both of us both blush.
"It's all good on our planet. We're the planet of passion. Right Brian-chan?",says Princess Candace seductively as her knight nods numbly.
"Whatever you say my princess. I'm yours forever.",says Brian blushing as Candace smiles slyly.
"I love it when you say that, Brian-chan.",says Cadance smiles brightly ass they end up kissing and dancing at the same time.
"Hey watch it, Candace-chan and Brian-chan. Go get a room you two.",says Princess Alyson.
"I'd love to cool them down with my powers.",says Pete as Alyson agrees firmly.
"Obvisely they are just having fun. It's not everyday that Charity-sama finds herself a great guy. Look like Airnhrod-kun has too. All the more reason to celebrate in honor of the 2 couples from Air.",says Princess Bakula as her knight Austin dips her.
Her green highlighted brown hair touches the ground as he pulls her up happily.
"Argito Austin-chan. Have fun you too.",says Bakula as they swing the other around happily.
After the dance...The others all go home as Yuir gets to stay in the palace as a guest in Airnhrod's room.
My parents want me to start my senshi training since I already know some of the techniques and they feel that I'm ready to learn them.
I am called into the throne room as my mother hands me a yellow crystal that has our symbol on the top of it.
"This is your transformation crystal. It will allow you and your magick to become one so that it allows you to destroy enemies if they should ever try to destroy this castle or the universe.
The other princesses are already being trained too just in case something does happen.
You are the leader of the Elemental senshi and knight team. It's the only team of it's kind to include males in a team along with females. Not everyone will agree that this is a good idea but it's to ensure that every person has an equal say with fighting and learning to get together with both of the sexes. Do you agree with this, Charity-chan? You will train as soon as fully understand this fully.",says my mother calmly as I take the medium sized yellow crystal from her.
"Hai, I understand mother. It's a good idea having both sexes fighting for one cause.",I say firmly as the crystal starts to glow a bright yellow.
The light floods the entire building as my princess clothes disappear and a tight fitting white leotard with yellow trim appears along with a wooden staff with 4 feathers of different colors: yellow, blue, red & brown.
Then another set appears also so that there are 2 sets of 2 the elemental colors with the symbols on the feathers.
They each glow nsyn together as one.
I look at my new fuku as my mother smiles proudly at me.
"As a princess of the elemental planet, Air you are protected by your planet because your very being understands it's very needs. The Air only is unique from the other elements but when it is combined with fire they together become a force that can't be destroyed. The other planet's rulers have all gathered together before you were all born to discuss how we should protect the fate of the universe if we weren't there to see it. We all decided that our first borns shall find lovers and then they each will be able to with their love and trust have the power combined to protect the universe. You and your team won't be protecting the Inner senshis or the Outers.Both have there own destinies but they all know of our powers and technology. You are now called SailorAir. The Goddess and Gods will be with you always, SAir-chan. Sky-chan will teach both of you how to be a team when the other elemental princesses and their knights come here in a few minutes. Wait in the training room.",says my mother as I nod and run super fast towards the training room which on the other side of the building.
Okay I know that I can run but not this fast.
How do I STOP?!
Where are the BRAKES ON THIS SAILOR FUKU?
Oh crap not the wall.
Anything but the wall.
The builder's just finished with it.
"STOP!",I scream as I press my feet hard on the marble floor and instantly stop inches away from the wall.
I breathe a deep sigh as I hit my head on the wall with my head.
"Baka wall.",I hiss angerily as I see my third eye in plain view instead of when my emotions get the better of me....sometimes.
It's a small yellow triangle with a line through the middle of it in the reflection of the mirror.
I close my eyes and I can actually feel the pulse that it gives off just like it's a partner with my own heartbeat.
I open my eyes and walk towards the huge doors.
I pull on the handles & they open instantly.
Inside...I see Paul but he's in the same kind of fuku like me (except no skirt) with a different kind of sword then he usually carries with him.
He's slashing a bunch of holograms as Sky notices me just standing there watching my boyfriend.
"Ah, SAir-chan I was wondering when you'd be here. Did you have any trouble? I'm sure that your mother explained everything to you already.",says Sky as Paul stops fighting and looks at me.
His jaw drops to the floor as I blush slightly.
"Kind of. I found that super speed isn't what it's cracked up to be, but I'm fine no broken bones. Hai, she did and I think that it's a wonderful idea to have both sexes fighting for the same goal.",I say calmly as Sky nods proudly and he laughs when I told him about the super speed incindent.
"I'm glad. You probably aren't going to be used to your powers so I'll let you understand your powers first by a trail run.",says Sky as I nod and get into a fighting stance with my staff.
A holographic youma appears in front of me as Sky and Paul are sitting down watching.
I glare at the youma angerily as I slam my staff down hard.
As I do the feathers glow brightly and send a stream of multi-colored lights towards it.
The youma has nowhere to run as the image disappears quickly.
"Very good, SAir-chan. Now let's try something else.",says Sky as he presses a button and two youmas appear in front of me and one to my side.
"Air, ruler of the winds grant me your power.",I say quietly as my third eye burns but it feels wonderful and not badly.
My hands glow brightly in a yellow hue as I press my hand on the youma's face (in front of me).
It screams in agony as the yellow light covers it's entire body.
Then I do the same with the other youma that's to my side as it too screams when it is covered in the yellow light.
After that...My hands stop glowing and grab hold of my staff calmly as I feel very refreshed from that.
The other senshis and their knights come by too as they cheer happily for me.
I smile brightly as we all end up training together and we get pretty used to it in just the short few minutes that we've been together.
After a few hours...We are all really exhusted and tired from using our powers while Sky let's us have a break for today.
We detransform as I wear my crystal as a necklace using some string that I use for my ritauls in my space pocket of my dresses.
I pull it out and the crystal attaches itself to the string as I tie it around my neck.
It glows a bright yellow the entire time that it's around my neck.
It's almost like it wanted to be around my neck to feel my energy when I'm not a senshi as Sky calls us princesses because he says that it means female warriors which suits us perfectly.
The others follow my lead as I hand them each a peice of string that they can use.
Princess Alyson wears her blue crystal around her neck, Princess Candace wears her red crystal around her wrist, Princess Bakula wears her brown crystal on her ankle, Pete wears his around his wrist, Brian wears his around his neck, Austin wears his around his ankle and Paul wears his around his neck too.
"This is so cool. We're actaully senshis and knights. I wonder what kind of villians will dare to come near us now",says Candace curiously as she's always been itching to fight since she was old enough to know how.
"Not many probably.",says Alyson jokingly as I smile at my friends and their knights.
No wonder the others are calling the guys knights because they are the male part of our team.
"Charity-chan, what do you think about all of this?",asks Bakula curiously as I shrug.
"I bet that there probably be some really stupid people that will try but they'll never suceed.",I say as the others agree happily.
We all walk out of the training room and towards the teleportation room where they all came from.
Alyson and Pete both go in together as their 3rd eyes appear brightly while the computer scans there powers individually.
2 blue check marks appear on the screen as they say together,"Water element planet." and then they disappear in a blue light.
Candance smiles at me as I nod happily.
She and Brian go on together and say,"Fire element planet." as they disappear in a red light.
Bakula and Austin go in together and say,"Earth element planet." as they disappear in a brown light.
After they are all gone..."Why did Candance smile at you earlier before she left, Charity-chan?",asks Paul confused as I smile slyly.
"She asked if I loved you as much as she does to Brian-chan and I agreed which is why I nodded.",I explain as Paul smiles brightly.
"I knew that.",says Paul quickly as I can tell that he's trying to understand but he doesn't.
"Your fighting was really amazing, Charity-chan. The way your eyes glowed like that. It was really spooky but I wasn't scared or anything.",says Paul happily as I smile brightly.
I love to get attention like that.
"I didn't realise that. Cool, I didn't even notice. I was too busy focusing my energy on the attack.",I say as Paul smiles at me.
We end up getting a quick kiss in before I have to go to my room to rest up.
In my room...I get out of my dress and into some p.j.'s as I crawl into bed sleeply.
Then I end up going to sleep right as I put my head on my pillow.
For the past month...Myself and the others have been practicing non-stop and we only get Samhaim off since it's a sabbat.
All of the element planets do a huge celebration ritaul on each of their planets in honor of those that have died.
Sometimes they even have tarot cards and runes out for the people that hope to have a good year in their futures.
I've practiced with the tarot cards by myself and I've gotten very good at it.
I give myself readings and they always turn out okay.
I get my cards out for another good year or at least a good month.
To my surprise the cards says that some woman with red hair is going to come and destroy the all of the planets including ours first.
I try to call the princesses but nobody's answering.
I leave them all messages on their machines and hope that they'll hear it and call me back soon.
I put my tarot cards back in their box and then back on my altar.
I go out into the garden and sees a huge bonfire as some people are throwing dried herbs into the fire in honor of the deceased family members and to reflect on the old year.
I watch them quietly but the people don't seem to notice my presence or else they would have stopped in fear that I would tell somebody or try to stop them from accidentally burning the herb garden that I've worked so hard for.
I can see from land that Airnhrod is there because she has a single candle out for her mother's body.
Her third eye glows brightly as she talks to her mother.
I go back inside of the palace and see that the servants are passing out loaves of bread and dried herbs for the kitchen servants.
Madeline hands me a loaf of bread and a dried herb that's been tied with some string to keep it together securely.
I thank her as she smiles and they all follow her outside and pass the palace gates to the market place.
I grab my bag and put the things that Madeline gave me inside of it along with head dress also.
I put on my hooded robe and take off my crown so that the locals wouldn't be wondering why a peasant has on the princess's crown.
I jump over the wall using my usual tree that the guards never suspect of me using a tree to use as my get-away prop or else they would have cut it down a long time ago.
Once I'm over the wall...I cast out my senses to make sure that nobody has found out yet.
Then I walk over a few miles until I see an abandoned field but it's been taken.
It's full of people carrying lighted candles that they place behind them.
I walk up to them quietly and look at their faces casted by the moonlight and the lighted candles.
They look at me causiously.
"What's your name, girl?",asks a man as he looks at my hooded robe that I use.
"Selene. My parents named me after the Goddess herself. They said that I had the spirit of her herself.",I say calmly as the man nods and lets me in.
"What happened to your parents, Selene-kun?",asks a woman concerned.
"They were killed by some stray dogs that had raibes when I was young. I've been on my own ever since.",I say sadly but not sad enough to make it look fake just sad to talk about it.
"Oh, I'm so sorry.",says another woman as I nod solemly.
I put two lighted candles behind me as a woman hands me her candle to use for lighting them.
Nobody has asked me anything or said anything else about what I'm doing or why I'm even here.
Everybody else sits down as I follow them calmly.
The man that I met earlier is stil standing as he says,"We are gathered here to morn the loss of anyone human or pet that has passed on to SummerLand. During Samhaim this is to remember deceased as well as to celebrate the new year.".
A woman that is still standing says,"Does anybody have any offering that they'd like to share with the rest of us?" as I nod and pull out my loaf of bread and my dried herb that Madeline gave me.
"Argito Selene-kun for your offerings.",says the woman as she takes them both.
She takes a small peice of the bread and the herb as she passes them to the man.
He does the same as the woman did and then hands it to someone else who passes it around until it reaches me.
I take a small peice of the bread and another eqaully small peice from the herb until there is nothing left of both.
"Some of us are unfortunate enough to have herbs and a peice of bread for offerings to the deceased so we share equally.",explains the woman to me as I nod solemly.
"Hai, I understand.",I say calmly as they began to eat the small peice of bread to savor the taste.
They each take the piece of herb & sprinkle it on their candles that are behind them.
I take one for my grandmother and my grandfather that both died before I was born.
The candles sparkle a bright purple flame and then the both are blown out at the same time.
After the small Samhaim ritaul...I leave quietly thanking the members for allowing me to join them.
Nobody asks why I'm going in the direction of the palace.
They must think that I work there.I run towards the brick wall and climb over quickly.
I land on the branch as I jump off easily.
I guess all of that senshi training does help sometimes in real life.
I land on the ground gracefully and run straight to my room.
Inside...I change into my p.j.'s and put my peasant gear away inside of my closet.
Then I go back to bed as I fall asleep instantly.
The next day...I wake up to the sound of things shaking.
An Earthquake.
No those things only happen to the Earthlings not the Element planets.
So what's going on?!
Oh crap, we're under attack.
I'd better transform and find the others.
I close my eyes as I suddenly feel my p.j.'s being replaced with my senshi fuku.
My staff is in my hand as I get out of bed quickly.
I see Airnhrod running into my room along with Air Knight.
"There's a...",says Air Knight but I cut him off.
"Where are the others? Are they under attack too?",I ask quickly as he nods firmly.
"They are also under attack. Some of the peasants have been killed already. Hai, the NegaVerse has almost reached the palace gates. We'd better hurry.",says Air Knight as I nod firmly.
"Airnhrod-chan, get your dad and tell him to try and round up my parents. Take them to the basement along with the servants and some healers. The healers should try and revive anybody that's been hurt badly. Me and Air Knight-chan will try and stop the NegaVerse from getting any further. You know what to do if we don't come back.",I say as I hug my best friend knowing that we probably won't make it alive.
"Hai, I will. You can count on me, SAir-chan. Ja ne minna-chan.",says Airnhrod firmly as I can see that she's trying not to cry in front of me.
"It's okay, Airnhrod-chan. I love you like a sister.",I say as I kiss her on her now wet cheek.
She nods and runs off very fast in the opposite direction from us.
"We'd better hurry, Air-chan.",says Air Knight as I nod firmly.
We run off together towards the front door as we see a woman with red hair in a sluety dark purple dress.
I'm guessing that the Outers died trying to stop her from invading the universe.
Now it's up to us and the other Element partners to defend their own planets...or die trying.
"Well if it isn't the Element team but where are the other members of your team, SAir-kun?",asks Queen Beryl as I clench up my free hand angerily.
Blood is coming from it slightly as some of it drips onto the ground.
"They are fighting there own battles with your army, Beryl-baka.",I say as calmly as I can without wanting to tear out her throat with my own two hands.
Air Knight unclenches my fist as he holds my hand.
Own blood mixes together as I can sense his own anger but he's trying to control it badly.
"Let's get rid of this baka, ne Air-chan?",says Air Knight as I nod firmly.
"Air, controller of life, help us both to fight the unjustice by those that wish harm upon us and the universe. In perfect love and perfect trust. So mote it be.",we say together as Queen Beryl looks very surprised.
I can see that from the reflection in her eyes that we are glowing as one big yellow hue.
Both of our third eyes appear glowing brightly adding to the yellow glow.
Her cinnamon colored eyes are worried and scared that we just might have a chance of destroying her and her army with one shot if we do it together.
Now I know what she's so terrified about.
Then we stop glowing as AK pulls something out the pocket of his knight fuku pants.
It's a velvelt box and he opens it slowly to reveal a small diamond that's attached to a small sterling silver ring.
"I'm been meaning to give this to you for some time but we were always so busy. I know that this might not be the perfect time to do this but will you do me the honor of being my wife in the afterlife, SAir-chan?",says AK as he gets on one knee and holds up the box to me.
"Hai, AK-chan I will.",I say as he smiles very brightly and takes out the ring.
He puts it on my middle finger as the ring just pulses with love energy.
Then we kiss passionately as we lace our fingers together again but this time as husband and wife.
"*gags*All of this mushy crap is making me sick.",says Beryl as she makes a disguisted face.
She must not feel the same way about some men as me and AK do now.
We both power up together but unfortantly she dodged our attack by sheer luck.
It only took off an inch of her hair off.
Damn the fates!
We could have had her and then out of nowhere she sticks her staff into AK's stomach as he looks seriously shocked and pissed off that he let himself get hurt this badly.
Queen Beryl just smiles evilly as she pulls out of staff from my husband's stomach.
Then out of nowhere she tries it on me but I don't have enough time to notice what happened before it was too late.
She laughes happily at her handywork and then pulls her staff out of my stomach as well.
This pain isn't like anything I've ever experienced before.
My life is flashing before my eyes.
Meeting Airnhrod for the first time, learning how to make mud pies together, being proclaimed the youngest princess to ever have a direct link into the future, having to go to my 16th birthday party, celebrating Airnhrod's 16th birthday with the kitchen servants, going out of the palace to see the market place without guards, healing Airnhrod's first attack from the market people with my powers, Paul being my knight, he turns out to be my knight, my boyfriend and now my husband and finally him and I dieing together by the hands of Queen Beryl.
My life and everything in it was all to make sure that I knew what I was doing and that I could handle myself, not as a princess but as a person, a human being trying to live up to what I wanted to be.
All I ever wanted was to be a good ruler after my parents passed away, to have a husband and to have our children running around happily.
I had so many dreams for myself but they were all shattered by an evil vengeful queen set on wanting the universe to be her own.
We tried Goddess but it wasn't enough.
Then just as I'm about to black out I feel AK's hand holding onto mine tightly.
His hand used to be warm to the touch but now it's ice cold.
My whole body wil probably be like that soon enough.
Then I see nothing just total darkness.
***********************************The End***************************************
"Airnhrod-kun, aren't you coming too?",asks Paul curiously but Airnhrod shakes her head.
"No, I'll be doing the usual.You guys have a great time.",says Airnhrod as I smile sadly at my best friend.
"Airnhrod-chan, I'll leave you a dance when they play our song. Okay and you'd better be there because I don't want to have to hunt you down. Ja ne Airnhrod-chan.",I say as Airnhrod nods happily.
"Can I barrow one of your dresses, Airnhrod-chan then?",asks Airnhrod as I nod firmly.
"Of course Airnhrod-chan.Ja ne.",I say as Airnhrod rushes towards my room.
I take his arm happily while he leads me into the huge crowd of onlookers.
I can hear Princess Candace of Fire planet whistling loudly while being hushed by her knight.
Princess Alyson of Water claps loudly as her knight does too.
Princess Bakula of Earth whistles loudly too as does her knight who are getting looks from the crowd for being so loud.
I smile as my friends are here including Airnhrod who sits with her father proudly.
My mother and father stand up as everyone is quiet and anxious to her what they have to say.
"Argito minna for coming. As most of you have heard this party is in honor of our daughter Princess Charity and her knight. I think that it is only fitting that they should start us off with the first dance.",says my mother proudly as the lights are all dimmed except for one that is spotlighted on us.
Paul leads me off towards the middle of the ballroom as everyone let's us through.
"This is really embaressing. By the way do you know how to dance?",I say quietly as Paul nods.
"Hai, Sky-sempain taught me how which is why I had to leave so quickly yesteday.",says Paul as a slow dance song comes on.
He grabs my waist and we do a slow dance together.
I put my head on his shoulder as he does the same.
I close my eyes and just tune out everyone's quiet whispers except for Paul that whispers things in my ear.
Some of them make me blush as he laughes happily.
Then the song ends as we notice that the song has changed to something more up beat.
I ask Paul if it's alright and he agrees.
I go over to Airnhrod and ask her if she wants to dance with me.
She agrees happily as does Sky.
I grab her hand as both get down to the upbeat tempo of the music.
We get totally crazy when we're together but it's fun to be dancing with my best friend.
After the dance...we go and get some punch.
"I wish Yuir-chan was here. He'd enjoy this.",says Airnhrod as she gets another drink.
"Maybe he can be if you don't tell anyone what I'm about to do, Airnhrod-chan.",I say as Airnhrod nods happily and sets her glass down.
"Deal. What are you going to do, Charity-chan?",says Airnhrod curiously as I smile at her slyly.
"Goddess, make Yuir-chan human. So mote it be.",I say as Yuir appears in human form except for his tail and two black cat ears.
He smiles once he sees Airnhrod and twirls her around happily.
"Argito Charity-chan, you're the best. Come on Yuir-chan, I want you to meet my dad.",says Airnhrod as she drags him towards Sky who is sitting paintently in his chair.
Paul puts down my glass as he takes me to where everyone else is dancing to the songs with their partners.
Yuir is dipping Airnhrod as she purrs loudly.
Then they come together and both purr as one big cat/human.
Her 3rd eye like mine glows brightly because she's having a great time.
I'm glad that she met somebody that loves her as an equal.
We dance happily together as he kisses me on my neck softly.
The Fire group whistles together as both of us both blush.
"It's all good on our planet. We're the planet of passion. Right Brian-chan?",says Princess Candace seductively as her knight nods numbly.
"Whatever you say my princess. I'm yours forever.",says Brian blushing as Candace smiles slyly.
"I love it when you say that, Brian-chan.",says Cadance smiles brightly ass they end up kissing and dancing at the same time.
"Hey watch it, Candace-chan and Brian-chan. Go get a room you two.",says Princess Alyson.
"I'd love to cool them down with my powers.",says Pete as Alyson agrees firmly.
"Obvisely they are just having fun. It's not everyday that Charity-sama finds herself a great guy. Look like Airnhrod-kun has too. All the more reason to celebrate in honor of the 2 couples from Air.",says Princess Bakula as her knight Austin dips her.
Her green highlighted brown hair touches the ground as he pulls her up happily.
"Argito Austin-chan. Have fun you too.",says Bakula as they swing the other around happily.
After the dance...The others all go home as Yuir gets to stay in the palace as a guest in Airnhrod's room.
My parents want me to start my senshi training since I already know some of the techniques and they feel that I'm ready to learn them.
I am called into the throne room as my mother hands me a yellow crystal that has our symbol on the top of it.
"This is your transformation crystal. It will allow you and your magick to become one so that it allows you to destroy enemies if they should ever try to destroy this castle or the universe.
The other princesses are already being trained too just in case something does happen.
You are the leader of the Elemental senshi and knight team. It's the only team of it's kind to include males in a team along with females. Not everyone will agree that this is a good idea but it's to ensure that every person has an equal say with fighting and learning to get together with both of the sexes. Do you agree with this, Charity-chan? You will train as soon as fully understand this fully.",says my mother calmly as I take the medium sized yellow crystal from her.
"Hai, I understand mother. It's a good idea having both sexes fighting for one cause.",I say firmly as the crystal starts to glow a bright yellow.
The light floods the entire building as my princess clothes disappear and a tight fitting white leotard with yellow trim appears along with a wooden staff with 4 feathers of different colors: yellow, blue, red & brown.
Then another set appears also so that there are 2 sets of 2 the elemental colors with the symbols on the feathers.
They each glow nsyn together as one.
I look at my new fuku as my mother smiles proudly at me.
"As a princess of the elemental planet, Air you are protected by your planet because your very being understands it's very needs.

The Goddess and Gods will be with you always, SAir-chan. Sky-chan will teach both of you how to be a team when the other elemental princesses and their knights come here in a few minutes. Wait in the training room.",says my mother as I nod and run super fast towards the training room which on the other side of the building.
Okay I know that I can run but not this fast.
How do I STOP?!
Where are the BRAKES ON THIS SAILOR FUKU?
Oh crap not the wall.
Anything but the wall.
The builder's just finished with it.
"STOP!",I scream as I press my feet hard on the marble floor and instantly stop inches away from the wall.
I breathe a deep sigh as I hit my head on the wall with my head.
"Baka wall.",I hiss angerily as I see my third eye in plain view instead of when my emotions get the better of me....sometimes.
It's a small yellow triangle with a line through the middle of it in the reflection of the mirror.
I close my eyes and I can actually feel the pulse that it gives off just like it's a partner with my own heartbeat.
I open my eyes and walk towards the huge doors.
I pull on the handles & they open instantly.
Inside...I see Paul but he's in the same kind of fuku like me (except no skirt) with a different kind of sword then he usually carries with him.
He's slashing a bunch of holograms as Sky notices me just standing there watching my boyfriend.
"Ah, SAir-chan I was wondering when you'd be here. Did you have any trouble? I'm sure that your mother explained everything to you already.",says Sky as Paul stops fighting and looks at me.
His jaw drops to the floor as I blush slightly.
"Kind of. I found that super speed isn't what it's cracked up to be, but I'm fine no broken bones. Hai, she did and I think that it's a wonderful idea to have both sexes fighting for the same goal.",I say calmly as Sky nods proudly and he laughs when I told him about the super speed incindent.
"I'm glad. You probably aren't going to be used to your powers so I'll let you understand your powers first by a trail run.",says Sky as I nod and get into a fighting stance with my staff.
A holographic youma appears in front of me as Sky and Paul are sitting down watching.
I glare at the youma angerily as I slam my staff down hard.
As I do the feathers glow brightly and send a stream of multi-colored lights towards it.
The youma has nowhere to run as the image disappears quickly.
"Very good, SAir-chan. Now let's try something else.",says Sky as he presses a button and two youmas appear in front of me and one to my side.
"Air, ruler of the winds grant me your power.",I say quietly as my third eye burns but it feels wonderful and not badly.
My hands glow brightly in a yellow hue as I press my hand on the youma's face (in front of me).
It screams in agony as the yellow light covers it's entire body.
Then I do the same with the other youma that's to my side as it too screams when it is covered in the yellow light.
After that...My hands stop glowing and grab hold of my staff calmly as I feel very refreshed from that.
The other senshis and their knights come by too as they cheer happily for me.
I smile brightly as we all end up training together and we get pretty used to it in just the short few minutes that we've been together.
After a few hours...We are all really exhusted and tired from using our powers while Sky let's us have a break for today.
We detransform as I wear my crystal as a necklace using some string that I use for my ritauls in my space pocket of my dresses.
I pull it out and the crystal attaches itself to the string as I tie it around my neck.
It glows a bright yellow the entire time that it's around my neck.
It's almost like it wanted to be around my neck to feel my energy when I'm not a senshi as Sky calls us princesses because he says that it means female warriors which suits us perfectly.
The others follow my lead as I hand them each a peice of string that they can use.
Princess Alyson wears her blue crystal around her neck, Princess Candace wears her red crystal around her wrist, Princess Bakula wears her brown crystal on her ankle, Pete wears his around his wrist, Brian wears his around his neck, Austin wears his around his ankle and Paul wears his around his neck too.
"This is so cool. We're actaully senshis and knights. I wonder what kind of villians will dare to come near us now",says Candace curiously as she's always been itching to fight since she was old enough to know how.
"Not many probably.",says Alyson jokingly as I smile at my friends and their knights.
No wonder the others are calling the guys knights because they are the male part of our team.
"Charity-chan, what do you think about all of this?",asks Bakula curiously as I shrug.
"I bet that there probably be some really stupid people that will try but they'll never suceed.",I say as the others agree happily.
We all walk out of the training room and towards the teleportation room where they all came from.
Alyson and Pete both go in together as their 3rd eyes appear brightly while the computer scans there powers individually.
2 blue check marks appear on the screen as they say together,"Water element planet." and then they disappear in a blue light.
Candance smiles at me as I nod happily.
She and Brian go on together and say,"Fire element planet." as they disappear in a red light.
Bakula and Austin go in together and say,"Earth element planet." as they disappear in a brown light.
After they are all gone..."Why did Candance smile at you earlier before she left, Charity-chan?",asks Paul confused as I smile slyly.
"She asked if I loved you as much as she does to Brian-chan and I agreed which is why I nodded.",I explain as Paul smiles brightly.
"I knew that.",says Paul quickly as I can tell that he's trying to understand but he doesn't.
"Your fighting was really amazing, Charity-chan. The way your eyes glowed like that. It was really spooky but I wasn't scared or anything.",says Paul happily as I smile brightly.
I love to get attention like that.
"I didn't realise that. Cool, I didn't even notice. I was too busy focusing my energy on the attack.",I say as Paul smiles at me.
We end up getting a quick kiss in before I have to go to my room to rest up.
In my room...I get out of my dress and into some p.j.'s as I crawl into bed sleeply.
Then I end up going to sleep right as I put my head on my pillow.
For the past month...Myself and the others have been practicing non-stop and we only get Samhaim off since it's a sabbat.
All of the element planets do a huge celebration ritaul on each of their planets in honor of those that have died.
Sometimes they even have tarot cards and runes out for the people that hope to have a good year in their futures.
I've practiced with the tarot cards by myself and I've gotten very good at it.
I give myself readings and they always turn out okay.
I get my cards out for another good year or at least a good month.
To my surprise the cards says that some woman with red hair is going to come and destroy the all of the planets including ours first.
I try to call the princesses but nobody's answering.
I leave them all messages on their machines and hope that they'll hear it and call me back soon.
I put my tarot cards back in their box and then back on my altar.
I go out into the garden and sees a huge bonfire as some people are throwing dried herbs into the fire in honor of the deceased family members and to reflect on the old year.
I watch them quietly but the people don't seem to notice my presence or else they would have stopped in fear that I would tell somebody or try to stop them from accidentally burning the herb garden that I've worked so hard for.
I can see from land that Airnhrod is there because she has a single candle out for her mother's body.
Her third eye glows brightly as she talks to her mother.
I go back inside of the palace and see that the servants are passing out loaves of bread and dried herbs for the kitchen servants.
Madeline hands me a loaf of bread and a dried herb that's been tied with some string to keep it together securely.
I thank her as she smiles and they all follow her outside and pass the palace gates to the market place.
I grab my bag and put the things that Madeline gave me inside of it along with head dress also.
I put on my hooded robe and take off my crown so that the locals wouldn't be wondering why a peasant has on the princess's crown.
I jump over the wall using my usual tree that the guards never suspect of me using a tree to use as my get-away prop or else they would have cut it down a long time ago.
Once I'm over the wall...I cast out my senses to make sure that nobody has found out yet.
Then I walk over a few miles until I see an abandoned field but it's been taken.
It's full of people carrying lighted candles that they place behind them.
I walk up to them quietly and look at their faces casted by the moonlight and the lighted candles.
They look at me causiously.
"What's your name, girl?",asks a man as he looks at my hooded robe that I use.
"Selene. My parents named me after the Goddess herself. They said that I had the spirit of her herself.",I say calmly as the man nods and lets me in.
"What happened to your parents, Selene-kun?",asks a woman concerned.
"They were killed by some stray dogs that had raibes when I was young. I've been on my own ever since.",I say sadly but not sad enough to make it look fake just sad to talk about it.
"Oh, I'm so sorry.",says another woman as I nod solemly.
I put two lighted candles behind me as a woman hands me her candle to use for lighting them.
Nobody has asked me anything or said anything else about what I'm doing or why I'm even here.
Everybody else sits down as I follow them calmly.
The man that I met earlier is stil standing as he says,"We are gathered here to morn the loss of anyone human or pet that has passed on to SummerLand. During Samhaim this is to remember deceased as well as to celebrate the new year.".
A woman that is still standing says,"Does anybody have any offering that they'd like to share with the rest of us?" as I nod and pull out my loaf of bread and my dried herb that Madeline gave me.
"Argito Selene-kun for your offerings.",says the woman as she takes them both.
She takes a small peice of the bread and the herb as she passes them to the man.
He does the same as the woman did and then hands it to someone else who passes it around until it reaches me.
I take a small peice of the bread and another eqaully small peice from the herb until there is nothing left of both.
"Some of us are unfortunate enough to have herbs and a peice of bread for offerings to the deceased so we share equally.",explains the woman to me as I nod solemly.
"Hai, I understand.",I say calmly as they began to eat the small peice of bread to savor the taste.
They each take the piece of herb & sprinkle it on their candles that are behind them.
I take one for my grandmother and my grandfather that both died before I was born.
The candles sparkle a bright purple flame and then the both are blown out at the same time.
After the small Samhaim ritaul...I leave quietly thanking the members for allowing me to join them.
Nobody asks why I'm going in the direction of the palace.
They must think that I work there.I run towards the brick wall and climb over quickly.
I land on the branch as I jump off easily.
I guess all of that senshi training does help sometimes in real life.
I land on the ground gracefully and run straight to my room.
Inside...I change into my p.j.'s and put my peasant gear away inside of my closet.
Then I go back to bed as I fall asleep instantly.
The next day...I wake up to the sound of things shaking.
An Earthquake.
No those things only happen to the Earthlings not the Element planets.
So what's going on?!
Oh crap, we're under attack.
I'd better transform and find the others.
I close my eyes as I suddenly feel my p.j.'s being replaced with my senshi fuku.
My staff is in my hand as I get out of bed quickly.
I see Airnhrod running into my room along with Air Knight.
"There's a...",says Air Knight but I cut him off.
"Where are the others? Are they under attack too?",I ask quickly as he nods firmly.
"They are also under attack. Some of the peasants have been killed already. Hai, the NegaVerse has almost reached the palace gates. We'd better hurry.",says Air Knight as I nod firmly.
"Airnhrod-chan, get your dad and tell him to try and round up my parents. Take them to the basement along with the servants and some healers. The healers should try and revive anybody that's been hurt badly. Me and Air Knight-chan will try and stop the NegaVerse from getting any further. You know what to do if we don't come back.",I say as I hug my best friend knowing that we probably won't make it alive.
"Hai, I will. You can count on me, SAir-chan. Ja ne minna-chan.",says Airnhrod firmly as I can see that she's trying not to cry in front of me.
"It's okay, Airnhrod-chan. I love you like a sister.",I say as I kiss her on her now wet cheek.
She nods and runs off very fast in the opposite direction from us.
"We'd better hurry, Air-chan.",says Air Knight as I nod firmly.
We run off together towards the front door as we see a woman with red hair in a sluety dark purple dress.
I'm guessing that the Outers died trying to stop her from invading the universe.
Now it's up to us and the other Element partners to defend their own planets...or die trying.
"Well if it isn't the Element team but where are the other members of your team, SAir-kun?",asks Queen Beryl as I clench up my free hand angerily.
Blood is coming from it slightly as some of it drips onto the ground.
"They are fighting there own battles with your army, Beryl-baka.",I say as calmly as I can without wanting to tear out her throat with my own two hands.
Air Knight unclenches my fist as he holds my hand.
Own blood mixes together as I can sense his own anger but he's trying to control it badly.
"Let's get rid of this baka, ne Air-chan?",says Air Knight as I nod firmly.
"Air, controller of life, help us both to fight the unjustice by those that wish harm upon us and the universe. In perfect love and perfect trust. So mote it be.",we say together as Queen Beryl looks very surprised.
I can see that from the reflection in her eyes that we are glowing as one big yellow hue.
Both of our third eyes appear glowing brightly adding to the yellow glow.
Her cinnamon colored eyes are worried and scared that we just might have a chance of destroying her and her army with one shot if we do it together.
Now I know what she's so terrified about.
Then we stop glowing as AK pulls something out the pocket of his knight fuku pants.
It's a velvelt box and he opens it slowly to reveal a small diamond that's attached to a small sterling silver ring.
"I'm been meaning to give this to you for some time but we were always so busy. I know that this might not be the perfect time to do this but will you do me the honor of being my wife in the afterlife, SAir-chan?",says AK as he gets on one knee and holds up the box to me.
"Hai, AK-chan I will.",I say as he smiles very brightly and takes out the ring.
He puts it on my middle finger as the ring just pulses with love energy.
Then we kiss passionately as we lace our fingers together again but this time as husband and wife.
"*gags*All of this mushy crap is making me sick.",says Beryl as she makes a disguisted face.
She must not feel the same way about some men as me and AK do now.
We both power up together but unfortantly she dodged our attack by sheer luck.
It only took off an inch of her hair off.
Damn the fates!
We could have had her and then out of nowhere she sticks her staff into AK's stomach as he looks seriously shocked and pissed off that he let himself get hurt this badly.
Queen Beryl just smiles evilly as she pulls out of staff from my husband's stomach.
Then out of nowhere she tries it on me but I don't have enough time to notice what happened before it was too late.
She laughes happily at her handywork and then pulls her staff out of my stomach as well.
This pain isn't like anything I've ever experienced before.
My life is flashing before my eyes.
Meeting Airnhrod for the first time, learning how to make mud pies together, being proclaimed the youngest princess to ever have a direct link into the future, having to go to my 16th birthday party, celebrating Airnhrod's 16th birthday with the kitchen servants, going out of the palace to see the market place without guards, healing Airnhrod's first attack from the market people with my powers, Paul being my knight, he turns out to be my knight, my boyfriend and now my husband and finally him and I dieing together by the hands of Queen Beryl.
My life and everything in it was all to make sure that I knew what I was doing and that I could handle myself, not as a princess but as a person, a human being trying to live up to what I wanted to be.
All I ever wanted was to be a good ruler after my parents passed away, to have a husband and to have our children running around happily.
I had so many dreams for myself but they were all shattered by an evil vengeful queen set on wanting the universe to be her own.
We tried Goddess but it wasn't enough.
Then just as I'm about to black out I feel AK's hand holding onto mine tightly.
His hand used to be warm to the touch but now it's ice cold.
My whole body wil probably be like that soon enough.
Then I see nothing just total darkness.
