Two Combating Sides
Author's Notes: Okay, this chapter should be longer. ^^ I'm in an inspired mood. ~~~
CHAPTER 2 - AND SO IT BEGINS
Hotaru, afraid, sat kneeling in front of the cold senshi of Uranus. Of course, fright wasn't the only thing visible in those amethyst depths. There was also respect and awe for being only a little away from one of the actual senshi, destined to defend the Silver Millennium. Of course, fear pushed away most of that. Sailor Uranus's appearance seemed extremely threatening. Her blue eyes shone coldly and her corn-colored hair was slightly tousled by wind. And the jewel-encrusted sword in her hand gleamed in the dim starlight. They were on Uranus, familiar territory for the senshi of the skies. In her mind, it was the best for the young princess's training as Sailor of Destruction. It was battling on foreign grounds.
After about a minute of adjusting to the new atmosphere, Hotaru spotted a black cat with a crescent moon on its forehead. The cat hopped gracefully onto Sailor Uranus's shoulder and stood, looking at the frightened princess. With sudden agility, the cat performed a flip, scattering magical sparkles through the air. A small, violet wand landed near the surprised Hotaru. The cat landed right next to it. Then it spoke, making the young princess's eyes widen even further.
The cat, obviously female, said, "Your training has arrived sooner than I had hoped, or expected. My name is Luna, advisor and guardian of the royal Moon family and other Sailors. As all senshi, your henshin object is a small wand. It is time for you to take your place among the other Outers as their leader, Sailor Saturn, the warrior of ruin!" That tugged a gasp out of Hotaru.
"But I don't want to! I just want to go back to Saturn and be with Matthew," she replied pleadingly. Sailor Uranus shook her head and spoke for the first time, in a boyish voice.
"We won't tell you what to think, but we'll see if you feel that way after you are." She groped for the right words to use. "Educated in the ways of a Sailor," she concluded, nodding. Hotaru looked up at the older senshi, amethyst eyes confused, but not as frightened as before. She cast another look at the wand in front of her. As she stared, the silver top gleamed, the symbol of Saturn clear and shining. Taking a resolved sigh, her pale hand closed around the violet middle. Immediately, startling the poor girl, violet ribbons wrapped around her body, and then dispersed, leaving a Sailor's fuku, only violet and a dark burgundy. Her white, gloved hand went to her forehead, feeling a golden tiara. Now feeling her new earrings, silver Saturns with crystals hanging from them, she blinked, surprised. Looking down at herself, she saw her fuku was a little customized. The brooch on her bow was a silver crystal, looking almost like a. a.
"Pure heart crystal," Luna offered, seeing where the new senshi was looking. Sailor Saturn nodded. The sleeves were white and flared out, as were the tops of the gloves.
"Wow," she commented, turning around to look at the back bow. She looked up at Sailor Uranus, and slightly tilted her head in confusion as she spotted the expression. Sailor Uranus was waiting. But why, Saturn didn't know. Then she realized. She needed a weapon! Because she was looking confused, Luna trotted over to her. Looking into the cat's amber eyes, the senshi raised her arm, hand open. A long violet staff appeared slowly from the ground up. At the top perched a shining silver blade. The Silence Glaive. Sailor Saturn closed her hand around it, feeling the power surging through it. It was the destructive power that could turn any celestial body, and everything on it, into dust with a small command. Once her hand was settled around it, the new senshi winced. The power was almost painful to bear, but she quickly got used to it. It was actually pretty easy when the power had settled and balanced within her. Uranus nodded, marveling at the way the deadly Glaive seemed to belong with this innocent princess.
Taking a few steps over to her, Uranus gave a very slight bow. Behind her, 2 more appeared. Sailor Saturn recognized them all with awe and respect. They were Sailors Neptune and Pluto! Violet eyes wide and glimmering, she kept herself from throwing down the Glaive to bow down low. Luna looked up at her.
"Are you sure you're ready?" the black cat asked. Sailor Saturn shook her head.
"I'm not sure of anything. What I really want is to go back, but I'll do whatever I have to in order to please my. fellow senshi," she replied, giving a bright smile. Neptune and Pluto inclined their heads, smiling at the light-hearted princess.
