Chapter 9

Meeting of the Four Sisters

Aurora only waits for a few minutes. The door opens and a girl with light blue hair appears and eyes looks out.

"Yes?"

Aurora lifts Sapphire up and the girl gasps.

"Come in!"

The girl opens the door wider and Aurora flies in. She lands on the floor in the living room.

"Let me get Prisma."

Aurora nods and the girl walks off. Aurora covers her mouth to stifle a yawn. She drags Sapphire over to a couch and lays him down on it. She sits down and ends up falling asleep before she gets a chance to see Prisma. After three hours of fitful sleeping, Aurora finally wakes up. She sits up and finds a bandage around her left arm and a girl with blue hair smiling at her.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Catzi. What's your name?"

Aurora smiles.

"My name is Aurora. Is the girl who opened the door your sister?"

Catzi nods.

"Yes, her name is Berdie."

Catzi notices Aurora starts fiddling with the bandage around her arm.

"We found you were injured when we brought you in here."

"But how...?"

Aurora's thoughts go to Emerald and she unconsciously moves her hand to her cheek.

"How's Sapphire?"

Catzi doesn't answer. Instead she gestures for Aurora to follow her. Aurora does and they walk down the hallway. Aurora sees two other girls, the one with light blue hair, and another with brown hair, in the hallway outside of a door.

"Avery, Berdie, meet Aurora. Aurora, meet my sisters, Avery and Berdie."

All three nod to each other in greeting and Aurora slowly goes into the room. She closes the door behind her and another girl, this one with green hair and eyes, looks up at her.

"Who are you?"

"Prisma. Were you the one who brought Sapphire here?"

Aurora nods and Prisma smiles softly.

"Is he alright?"

"He will be. How's your arm?"

"Aurora looks down at her arm, then back up at Prisma.

"Fine. I didn't even know it was injured till Catzi told me."

Prisma smiles again.

"You can rest here for a while, then return home if you want."

"I'll stay until Sapphire heals."

Prisma nods. Two hours later, Sapphire finally woke up. He insisted on going back to the Dark Moon. Prisma and her sisters didn't want him to go. Aurora insisted on going with him. After much persuasion, all five finally agreed, but only if she stayed Sailor Crystal. It proved to help somewhat later on.

Chapter 10

First Meeting with Wicked Lady

As Sapphire and Crystal run down the street, Crystal's uneasiness grew. A watch on her wrist beeped and she looks at it.

"Hello?"

"Aurora?" It was Serena.

"Serena!"

Crystal felt really weird, calling her mother by her real name.

"Aurora, where have you been? We've been so worried about you."

Crystal looks up at Sapphire, who nods. They both stop running and Crystal answers.

"I got into a little trouble. Where are Rini and Athena?"

"Rini's gone. Athena is right beside me, listening."

Crystal's sadness grew. She had to help Rini. She hears somebody neigh and smiles.

"Hi Athena. Serena, I have to go."

"Wait, Aurora!"

Crystal shuts the communicator off and keeps walking. Her staffs tip glows golden and she leaps in front of Sapphire.

"Crystal Barrier!"

The staff glows brightly and a barrier gets put up. The attack bounces off and a growl is heard as the barrier drops. Crystal moves her staff to the side of her body and looks up. She covers her mouth and gasps. Seeing Wicked Lady as a hologram was nothing compared to seeing her in real life. She looked more evil and the coldness of her eyes was worse. Now, transformed, Crystal looked almost exactly like her, the only thing that sets her apart is the silver in most of her appearance.

"Stand back, Crystal."

Crystal turns back towards Sapphire.

"No, I can't let you die."

Wicked Lady floats down and lands. Recognition flashes in her eyes as she saw Crystal. Crystal, on the other hand, stands in front of Sapphire with her staff in both hands.

"Rini, it's me, Aurora."

Wicked Lady smirks.

"Hello, Aurora. Like the new look?"

"Rini, why did you submit to this?"

"Nobody loves me. Nobody cares what happens the me."

"That's not true! I care for you."

"Then why did you leave me to suffer? Why didn't you help me?"

Crystal looks down.

"I know how much you suffered. I couldn't because what would happen to me? To you? I stole a crystal and for doing that, the sentence was death. That's why I ran."

Wicked Lady holds her hand out and shoots a dark beam out of it. Sapphire, noticing Crystal is offgaurd, pushes her out of the way. Crystal's staff clangs on the ground as she drops it.

"Sapphire! No!"

Crystal turns her head as Sapphire falls to the ground. She runs over and helps him sit up.

"Sapphire? Are you alright?"

Sapphire shakes his head.

"Tell Prisma…I love her."

Sapphire falls limps in her arms and Crystal lets out a scream of anguish. Wicked Lady smirks and disappears. Sapphire's body disappears and it leaves Crystal still on the street, in shock. She closes her eyes and falls back. She doesn't even notice when somebody picks her up and carries her off, now when her transformation reverses.

Chapter 11

Reunion with the Outer Guard

A day later, Aurora finally comes around. She looks around and finds she's in a darkened room, lighted by many small lamps, giving the room a purplish glow. Aurora sits up and groans softly. Her head is pounding and her vision is blurred. She turns her head as it opens. A girl walks in and comes over. Aurora can't make out her features until the girl bends down next to the bed. Aurora blinks and the girl leans forward, hand under her chin.

"Michelle?"

Her vision clears and she sees the aqua haired girl looking at her.

"Michelle! It's really you!"

Aurora hugs Michelle and the girl smiles. Though Michelle didn't know Aurora, personally, yet. Serena, Amy, and Athena had told her of Aurora. Aurora lets go and looks at Michelle.

"I'm so glad to see you."

"Well, I'm not the only one here,"

Aurora's eyes brighten up.

"Is Amara and Hotaru here?"

Michelle nods.

"As are Serena, Amy, and Athena."

Michelle takes Aurora into the living room and Aurora eyes brighten up immediately. Her three best friends, mother, and two more friends of hers were together, happy. Not dead, like in Crystal Tokyo. She goes over and hugs Hotaru, who hugs her back, smiling. She, then, does the same to Athena, Amara, Serena, and Amy. She sits down next to Hotaru and the two start talking. As they talk, Aurora remembers when she met Future Saturn. She seemed quiet and the only one's who could get her to lighten up where Rini, herself, the other Outer Scouts, and the queen. Now, Hotaru was a young girl and loved talking. Aurora was the exact same way and the two talked for hours. The others let them, knowing with Rini evil, Hotaru was the only one around Aurora's age. As night fell, Serena and Amy left, leaving Athena with Aurora. Amara and Michelle join the conversation. Athena lies down, drapes her wings over her body, and falls asleep. Pretty soon, Amara says she's going to go to sleep also. Michelle joins her soon after. Hotaru says she's going also. After Hotaru leaves, Aurora looks at the time.

"12:00. Wow." She mumbles before going to sleep.
