Sailor Moon: Silver
Chapter 48:
Lead Crow's Fight
Aurora appears in a darkened room, hovering in the air. The only source of
light is the glow coming from her crescent moon. Two figures appear in front of
her.
"Who is she?" One asks.
"Aurora. She was a friend to Iron Mouse." The second answers.
"What do you mean, "was"?" The first asks.
The second points to the crescent moon.
"She is apart of the Sailor Scout team. We need to destroy her."
"But look. She has the sapphire crystal." The first protests.
The second grabs the crystal and yanks. The chain snaps and the figure lets go.
The chain falls to the floor and hits with a gently clank. The first figure
gasps and grabs it.
"This is Galaxia's crystal. If this girl has it, then that means…"
"That means what?" The second snaps.
This causes Aurora to stir. She groans softly and the crescent moon stops
glowing, plunging the room into full darkness.
"That means Galaxia trusts her."
The second scuffs and disappears. The first however sticks around. In the dim
returned glow of the crescent moon, you can see a blue haired woman. Her blue
eyes are looking at the sapphire crystal. She fiddles with the chain, then
reaches over and puts it around Aurora's neck. Aurora stirs again. The crescent
moon flares with light. The woman turns her head away. When she looks at
Aurora, she's in for a shock.
"You really are a sailor scout."
"Doesn't mean we can't be friends." Crystal answers.
The sapphire glows and the crescent moon's light disappear.
"What's wrong?" The woman asks.
"I'm not sure. Take me to Galaxia."
The woman nods and both vanish. When they reappear, Crystal puts a gloved hand
to her head. The woman looks at her with concern in her eyes.
"Aluminum Siren. What are you doing here?"
The woman snaps to attention and Crystal looks out from behind her.
"Who is she?"
Crystal scuffs loudly and comes into full view.
"You should know me, Galaxia."
Crystal moves her hand over the crystal and it glows slightly.
"Oh! Welcome back!"
Crystal bows her head, thinking this wasn't a welcomed greeting, and lifts it
once more.
"Galaxia, where is that woman that was with me?"
The blue haired woman, Aluminum Siren, speaks up.
"You mean Lead Crow. I don't know where she is."
"I'm right here."
A woman appears. She has reddish-brownish hair and orange skin. She has black raven-
like wings on her back and is wearing a black leather outfit. She glares at
Crystal, who equally glares back, not liking her. Galaxia watches the two girls
from her throne. Lead Crow's whip appears and Galaxia's eyes flash as she
watches. Lead Crow brings the whip around and it gets Crystal around the neck.
Crystal chokes and claws at it. Lead Crow grins as she tightens the hold. The
heart on Crystal's silver choker shatters. As her air supply gets cut off,
Crystal runs forward and rams into Lead Crow. The woman stumbles back, intentionally
releasing the whip's hold on her neck and glares at Crystal. Crystal stumbles
back herself and reaches up to her wing. When she doesn't feel her dagger, she
goes pale.
"It's a fight. A fight to the death." Galaxia says.
Crystal whirls to look at her.
"What? I thought…"
Galaxia smirks and Crystal looks back to Lead Crow. Aluminum Siren looks
extremely nervous as she watches. A bell sounds and Kitty Bell appears. As
Crystal looks at Kitty, the ringing sounds again.
"So this is a fight? Fine then."
Crystal touches her index finger to her crescent moon. It glows a bright golden
and she holds her hand out. Her crystal dagger appears in her hand, glowing
slightly.
Chapter 49:
Betrayed Trust
"Let's go Lead Crow!"
Lead Crow brings her whip around and tries to get Crystal's neck. Crystal ducks
under it and flies forward. The dagger blade glows white and she swipes it in
Crow's direction.
"Crystal Light!"
Lead Crow jumps out of the way of the attack. Crystal growls softly. She holds
up her dagger and the ruby glows.
"Crystal Sphere!"
The crystal-like sphere surrounds Crystal and she sighs softly.
"I have no long range attacks expect for my 'Crystal Light'. What will I
do? AH!"
She gets knocked to the ground as something hits the side of the sphere. The
sapphire glows and Crystal looks at it.
"Maybe…"
She starts fiddling with the newly reformed chain. She unclasps it and holds it
against the hilt of her dagger. Both glow and the sapphire replaces the ruby.
She smiles softly and the sphere dissolves as she stands up.
"Before we continue, I have a question."
"What is it?" Galaxia asks, angrily.
"What happened to Nezu?"
Galaxia smirks and holds out her wrist. The gem on the bracelet glows. Crystal
suddenly shudders violently as the area around her grows extremely cold. She
wraps her wings around her body and shudders again.
"No! Give me another chance! No please!" Siren starts screaming.
Crystal and Lead Crow look at her. Kitty Bell's bell rings away as she smirks.
"Siren!" Lead Crow screams.
Crystal's eyes widen as the bracelets around Siren's wrists glow. The bracelets
disappear and then so does Siren in a flash of red sparkles as she lets out a
piercing scream. Crystal stands frozen with terror. Lead Crow whirls on
Galaxia, tears in her eyes. Galaxia only smirks.
"Back to work Lead Crow. And find it."
Lead Crow growls and disappears. The sapphire glows and Crystal drops her
dagger in shock.
"Ow!"
Crystal holds her hand. She looks at it and growls. Her hand has red marks on
it, soon going to be burns.
"Crystal Flash!"
The sapphire glows brightly and Crystal grabs her dagger. She flies forward and
the sapphire's glow intensifies. The crystal blade glows blue and Crystal
swipes it in Galaxia's direction.
"Crystal Ice!"
Ice that looks crystallized appears. It flies towards Galaxia but Crystal sees
Galaxia destroy the icicles. The light from the Crystal Flash disappears and
Crystal freezes, seeing Galaxia glaring at her. Galaxia forms what looks like a
golden boomerang in her hand. She throws it at Crystal and it catches the young
girl right in the chest, causing her to fly back and get knocked unconscious.
Galaxia smirks and walks over to Crystal. But she disappears before Galaxia can
do anything to harm her more.
Chapter 50:
Galaxia's Hatred
The sapphire glows in Crystal's dagger hilt. It disappears, the ruby appearing
to take its place once more, and reappears on Galaxia's chest. Aurora appears,
lying on a couch. Gentle hands tend to the wound on her chest and hand. When
the wounds are bandaged, a figure stands up. Her red eyes are looking in
another direction.
"Star Fighter?" She asks softly.
A black haired teenager walks forward. His blue eyes travel to Aurora and he
smiles softly. The female figure sits down on a nearby chair.
"What is it Star Fight?" She asks.
The teenager waves his hand towards Aurora.
"She shouldn't be getting hurt like this. She's too young to be a sailor
scout."
She's nine years old and a strong girl at that. She got attacked by
Galaxia."
The teenager sits down by the female and sighs.
"She's still too young, Princess."
Aurora groans softly and coughs. The female gets up and walks over to her.
Aurora opens her eyes, turns her head, and coughs again. The female sits her up
and rubs her back.
"Where am I?" Aurora mumbles after she's done coughing.
"Are you that disoriented?" The teenage male asks.
Aurora nods, though she knows who it is. She lifts her head up and sees the
female beside her. She smiles at her and Aurora weakly smiles back before she
cringes.
"What's wrong with me?" Aurora asks.
The female continues rubbing her back, to ease her breathing and coughing.
"Galaxia hit you pretty hard with that attack. I'm surprise it wasn't
bleeding." The female says.
Aurora lifts her head up again to look into the woman's red eyes.
"Who are you?"
The woman smiles.
"My name is Princess Fireball. You may call me Fireball."
Aurora nods and covers her mouth, muffling her coughing. Fireball rubs her
back, right between her wings, to try and help her. Aurora leans forward and
keeps coughing. Fireball looks worried as she keeps rubbing Aurora's back.
"Aurora, what's wrong?" Fireball asks.
Aurora gives a slight shrug and finally stops coughing. But her breathing is
very bad.
"You should rest now."
Aurora nods and Fireball helps her lay down. Aurora turns on her side and lets
her wings hang over her. She smiles at Fireball and falls asleep. Fireball
looks up at Seiya, who walks up beside her.
"She had that crystal that Galaxia has. It could have zapped her energy."
A couple hours later and Aurora wakes up once more. This time, it's to soft
angry voices. Then she hears a bell ring as the voices stop.
"Kitty Bell?" Aurora mumbles.
The familiar sight of Kitty appears over her. Kitty picks her up and she hangs
limply in her arms.
"Kitty, what's going on?"
"You have to leave. Something terrible is going to happen."
Kitty disappears and reappears in a tree, Aurora is more awake and alert then
she was before.
"What's going on?" Aurora asks.
"Look." Kitty answers, setting her down on a branch so she can see.
Aurora looks and gasps out loud.
"What is she doing?"
"Taking her star seed."
Aurora freezes, a shocked look on her face.
"Fireball!"
Aurora flies forward, but she's too late. Fireball lets out a pain filled
scream. Aurora freezes in mid-flight, beating her wings to stay in the air, as
Star Fighter holds the fading Fireball in her arms. Aurora turns to face
Galaxia, who faces her and smirks. She holds up her wrists and the gem in the
middle of both bracelets glow. Aurora freezes again, confused. Two yellow
energy discs appear and fly towards Aurora. At the last second, they split and
fly around her. Aurora looks confused, then cries out as the energy discs hit
her. A flower appears above her forehead as she goes limp. The flower blooms,
revealing a brightly glowing silver crystal. This is all that Aurora remembers
as she falls into darkness.
