Adventure 10: New Enemies Come Flying In
Darien left for schooling in the states and we were on our own for the first time in a long time. Before Darien left he proposed to Serena! Then some new scouts showed up and they called themselves the Sailor Starlights. Also some new a new enemy showed up and she called herself Sailor Iron Mouse. All of us didn't get how the people who helped us were scouts and the people who fought us were also sailor scouts. Also the enemy appears to be after something called a star seed. Then when we went to school we found out that a new music band, The Three Lights, were transferring into our school and they all were in our home room.
Luckily the next day was a Saturday so we could do anything we wanted to. Serena wanted to talk to us about something that had happened yesterday and we needed to meet in the park. When we all arrived we bought some ice cream since it was unusually hot.
"What do you mean Iron Mouse is gone?"
"While the Starlights and I were fighting this lady appeared and took Iron Mouse's bracelets and she was gone. The lady said that, 'the whole galaxy belonged to her' and that her name was Sailor Galaxia."
"More enemies arriving?"
"That's not all we have some little girl staying with us,"
"Another one?!", we all asked in unison.
"Yeah and her name is Chibi-Chibi. I'll show you where my mom and her are."
We walked over to the toy store and there was Ikuko and Chibi-Chibi.
"You know Serena she looks more like you than Rini did.", said Lita.
"kawaii, I want one too.", Mina said.
"Mina she's not a kitten. It's not like you can have one.", said Raye.
"You know she might even be a second daughter, Serena.", I suggested based on how much they looked alike.
"A second child? So that's what going to happen.", Serena said blushing.
"That is not going to happen."
"Ahh, Trista!", we all screamed.
"Small Lady is the queen's only daughter."
"Could it be Rini's child?"
"I am not sure but don't be quick to trust her."
"But Trista she's only a little girl she can't be dangerous."
"All I'm saying is be careful and don't be too quick to trust her."
Just after Trista said that Serena's mom came out of the store and yelled out, "Chibi-Chibi, where did you go?"
"I guess I'll go look for her.", Serena said.
The rest of us decided to look for Chibi-Chibi as well. Lita and them went to look for her where the Three Lights were to have a parade. I knew what that meant, 'We'd loved to help but we want to see the Three Lights then we'll go look.' So I went off where Serena headed to look for Chibi-Chibi. I found her with someone who looked like a policeman and both Serena and I ran over there. When we approached we found out it was Seiya in a policeman uniform.
"What are you doing in a policeman's uniform?", I asked him.
"It's part of the job of being an idol. I did put a lost child under my protection.", Seiya said lifting Chibi-Chibi on his shoulders.
"Did, did.", repeated Chibi-Chibi.
"You know she looks like your sister, odango, is she?"
"Yeah."
"Rather than a sister you looks like your child."
After Seiya said that Serena was quiet for most of the way to the station.
"What are you blushing for? You're weird."
"Pay no mind to her Seiya. It's just that she has a boyfriend and when she's with her sister people say that she looks like their daughter.", I said trying to cover for Serena hoping that Seiya would buy it. When we got to the police station Ikuko was truly grateful that Seiya had found Chibi-Chibi.
"Even on a lunch break you guys kept up with your duties as one day police chiefs. You guys are free to go.", the police chief congratulated.
"Oh no I forgot I told the girls to look for Chibi-Chibi. I have to go tell them.", Serena said running outside.
I tried to stop Serena before she ran out because I knew exactly where the other four scouts were. When Serena ran out she found Trista waiting outside.
"Trista what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to make sure that she was safe."
"Do you know where the girls went Trista?", I asked coming out of the station.
"Yeah they all said that they were heading downtown to look for her where a Three Lights parade was to be held."
After Trista finished her sentence both her and Serena knew exactly what the hidden agenda was.
"I tried to tell you before you left but you didn't listen.", I said shaking my head.
After I had finished we heard some screaming from behind the police station.
"Transform. MOON ETERNAL, MAKE UP!"
"PLUTO PLANET POWER!"
"PHEBOS CRYSTAL POWER!"
When we got to the back we saw some lady dressed in some weird costume and another lady sitting on the top of a police car.
"You were wrong Karasuma-san. I'm so unhappy that I got a blank. I want to hurry home and fix my dinner.", said the lady in the blue costume.
"What are you talking about?", asked the lady on top of the car.
"Hold it right there! Pretty solider in a sailor suit, Sailor Moon!"
"And Sailor Pluto."
"And not to forget Phebos."
"In the name of the moon, I shall punish you!"
The lady on the top of the car then reveal her true identity as she said, "So you're the Sailor Scouts of this planet."
"Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Sailor Aluminum Siren.", she said handing Serena her business card.
"Siren, what are you exchanging business cards for!?", yelled Crow.
"Who is she?", asked Sailor Moon.
"She's my partner.", answered Siren.
"I'm No. 1 of the Anima-mates, Sailor Lead Crow."
"Let me introduce myself again, I'm Sailor Aluminum Siren."
"Our new enemies?", asked Pluto, "DEAD SCREAM!"
As the attack was heading for Crow and Siren they jumped onto Pluto's staff.
"Who were you aiming at? We'll see you next time.", said Crow.
"If you survive your battle with Sailor Cop."
Then both of them teleported away from the battle in a telephone booth just like Iron Mouse did. After they were clear we heard some rather loud footsteps behind us.
"Disarm your weapons and hit the ground!", commanded Sailor Cop.
"That is a so-called 'Phage'?", asked Pluto.
Then we heard what Serena and I had learned to recognize, the snapping fingers.
"You hurt honest citizens and we can't forgive that.", said Fighter.
"You're not a man.", said Maker.
"You should be ashamed of yourself.", said Healer.
"Sailor Starlights! Stage ON!"
"Are those the Sailor Starlights?", asked Pluto.
"Do it now Sailor Moon.", yelled Fighter.
"Right. STARLIGHT HONEYMOON......THERAPY KISS!"
"Beautiful!", said Sailor Cop changing back into the police chief.
This battle with the new enemies think made Pluto a bit unsure of the Starlights. It would make sense though because Uranus and Neptune already didn't trust them so what is it if the other main outer scout doesn't trust them. After the fight I went home but Lita still wasn't home yet. Knowing her she was still downtown somewhere watching the Three Lights parade. IT was alright for me to be alone because I can get more things done by myself. I went out onto the balcony to see if I could see Lita coming home or if I could see anyone else I knew. Lita came home about an hour or so later.
"Hey so did Serena find that little girl?", she asked when she walked in.
"Yeah. No actually it was Seiya who found her not too far from the toy store."
"It doesn't matter who found her just as long as she's safe. What is her name anyway?"
"It's Chibi-Chibi."
"That's an interesting name for a younger sister. Well, the spring sport sign ups are starting tomorrow so let me know if you want to do any."
"What type of sports are there at school?"
"Um.....volleyball, swimming, basketball, softball, and track are the ones I know of."
"I don't know which to join but I can ask Serena and Amy what their doing and go by that."
We had some dinner and went to bed. The next morning we rushed school because we wanted to sign up for the best teams and fast. We had our morning classes and then it was time for lunch. While on our way outside to lunch we pasted the spring sport list.
"What team are you going to join Serena?", I asked her.
"I don't know. You're going to sign up for volleyball, right Mina."
"Yeah."
"Me, too!", I added.
"Well anyway I really want to join the team because Taik-san is going to be on the team. He can make a love-love pass to me and then I can score."
"What about you Lita?", asked Serena.
"I'm going to do basketball plus Yaten-kun is going to be on the team also."
"Let me guess. He'll send a love-love pass then he'll shoot a love-love dunk, right?", Serena asked sarcastically.
"You want to do softball with me, odango?"
"I hate softball!"
"It's alright I'll give you special training."
"I have to get going so I'll your 'practice' after school."
As I was walking down the hall I heard some girls talking about Serena and the girls and how they always hang out with the Three Lights. I felt like telling all those girls to shut up because they don't know anything about us. The reason why the Three Lights hung out with us is because we treat them like regular people and not the super cool pop stars that they are. Just then another girl stepped in to stop the girls trash-talking conversation. After school all of us along with Chibi-Chibi and Raye headed down to the baseball field to watch Seiya try to teach Serena how to play softball.
"So you're going to play softball with Seiya-kun?", asked Raye.
"Yeah, but I told him I hated softball.", answered Serena.
"Then why don't you refuse? Isn't Darien your boyfriend?"
"Why are you mentioning Darien, Raye?"
"What do you think of Seiya?"
"Raye it's no use because she doesn't understand.", said Lita.
"Serena doesn't understand Seiya's position as the pop star that he is.", said Mina.
"What does that mean?", asked Serena.
"Let's get started!", yelled Seiya from the field.
"Hey do you guys think that it is normal to have special training by him?", I asked everyone.
"Well, is he planning on winning games?", asked Mina.
"He is.", answered Taik-san.
"Yaten-kun, Taik-san!", said Amy.
"Hello."
"Seiya doesn't like losing anything.", Yaten said answering Mina's question.
"But I don't think they can win.", said Raye.
"Why?", asked Yaten.
"Well, you'll see.", we all answered in unison.
Our attention then turned to the field where Seiya had just started batting the pitches to Serena. The first pitch went under her legs, the second on her left but instead she went right, and the third landed right smack dab in the middle of her face knocking her over. As I was watching this I could not help it but laugh.
"What a mess.", said Raye.
Yaten was laughing hysterically and Taiki was trying to hold back from laughing.
Trying to get a hold of himself Yaten said, "Of course they can't!"
When Seiya saw Serena fall over he rushed over to her and asked, "Are you alright?"
"I am not...okay.", Serena said rather dizzy.
"You've played softball before, haven't you?"
"I did but I forgot."
"Oh gosh."
Then we all heard someone laughing rather loudly from the top of the hill behind us. There was a group of girls holding up a red sign with something written on it.
"With that skill level, you don't really think you'll win games, do you? Don't make me laugh!"
"That 'Love-Love Three Lights' sign is..", started Mina.
"Head of the Tenth Street High School softball team and is in charge of the Three Lights' bodyguards, Sonoko Ijuhn, class 2, year 3. She is also number 1 in the fan club.", said Amy filling us in on her.
"Number 1?", asked Raye.
Then all of us bowed down on the ground because it's hard to find out who is the number one person in the fan club. While we were down Chibi-Chibi started laughing like she wasn't scared or anything. Mina then grabbed her and placed her underneath so that Sonoko-san couldn't hear her laugh.
"You girls, I'm on my own time. I don't need you around.", Seiya said to the group of girls.
"I know that I'm sticking my nose in but we can't stand something. That loud and impudent girl!", Sonoko said pointing at Serena.
"What? I have a much better boyfriend than Seiya!"
"Better than Seiya?"
Then both Mina and Raye ran over to Serena and pinned her to the ground.
"What are you two doing?", asked Serena on the ground.
"Don't provoke them.", said Mina. "They're scary when they're mad.", added Raye.
"We'd be willing to keep quiet if Seiya was with a nice lady but there's no way in the case of that monkey girl."
"Who's the monkey girl?", Serena asked lifting her head up off the ground. After she said that Mina pushed her head back on the ground.
"What can I do for you then?", Seiya asked Sonoko and her group.
"How about deciding the issue in a fair manner by the results of the games?"
"Results of the games?"
"If we win the upcoming games, don't associate yourself with that girl."
"And if we win?"
"Then we'll accept your relationship."
"Fine, we'll win this!"
"Don't decide by yourself!", Serena said trying to stop Seiya from agreeing with anything.
"Now it's all set! I'm looking forward to seeing you at the games.", Sonoko said leaving with her group.
"Listen to me!", yelled Serena.
"What?"
"I'm NOT dating you!"
Then Mina and Raye picked Serena up and pulled her off to the side and said, "Just a minute! This is a good chance for us!"
"What?"
"Even if you try really hard...", started Raye.
"...you can't win anyway.", finished Mina.
"How rude!", said Serena.
"That's means you'll have to say good-bye to Seiya!", added Lita.
"Of course, after that we'll take care of him!", added Amy.
"Then I can date him.", I added.
"You guys.....", said Serena getting mad.
"Odango!"
"What!?"
"Let's show them our love-love power!"
"Love-love?", asked Serena.
"Alright, let's get back to your special training!"
"Yeah!", we all said in unison.
So all of us stood around to watch the training session. As it got late everyone started to head home but I decided to stay a bit longer.
"Maria, aren't you coming with us?", asked Lita.
"No. I want to stay a bit longer and watch more of this. I'll be home by dark."
I watched from behind home plate. Seiya kept hitting the balls out towards Serena but she had no luck in catching them.
"Come on! Stand up, odango!"
"Chibi! Chibi!"
"I can't!", Serena answered from the outfield.
"Aren't you angry?"
"Aren't you?"
"She called you a stupid girl unbefitting to me!"
"Huh? Chibi chibi?"
"She didn't say stupid!", I heard from her in the outfield.
"Do you want to breakup with me?"
"I NOT dating you!"
"It seems you still have lots of energy left, don't you?"
"H...Hey! Are you serious?"
"Okay, here we go!"
I watched this for a while longer but then it started getting dark really fast so I got my things together and told Seiya, "Don't be too hard on her. She still has homework to do and school tomorrow plus it's getting dark so you should quit because you can't see in the dark."
As I was walking home I thought about how the big softball game was in just a few days and Serena was going to be a good player just because Seiya would give her special training. So the days passed by and the game was due up the next day. The weather did not look good for the softball game but then again weather forecasters can be wrong every once in a while. As the game started we heard the announcer, "The softball tournament here at Tenth Street High School is coming to a climax. Hey who are you? What are you doing?"
Then all of a sudden we heard Mina's voice over the intercom, "The teams headed for the final game are our class one of first year and class two of third year, led by Ijuhin-san. On which side will the goddess of victory smile upon? By the way, today's report is delivered by school idol, Mina Aino, together with her guest.........."
"Raye Hino."
Our class was up first then year three. The game was tied at zero heading into the 6th where both teams could have a turn around.
"Oh, no! Serena has made yet another error!", said Mina.
"There seems to be no sign of special training.", Raye commented.
"Seiya struck out the rest of the batters! The score board show zero, zero! The wonderful pitching of his counterpart, Ijuhin-san, never allows the batters to come close!"
"It a pitchers duel alright!"
"Both sides never compromise! It's the last inning tied at zero! Oh? It's rain! IT started raining!"
"It seems we'll have a short break."
So everyone headed for shelter from the rain.
"Sorry, Seiya.", Serena said looking at the floor.
"Why?"
"Because I've made so many errors despite the training."
"That's alright Serena. You're doing better than I ever could out there.", I said.
"Don't give up.", said Raye.
"Just do your best.", said Amy.
"Chibi chibi."
"You want to cheer me on, too."
"Chibi chibi."
"Oh right the washroom."
"Let's win this game, okay?", asked Seiya.
"Right."
I went to look out the window to see if there was any sign that the rain might clear up but it sure didn't look like it. I wondered what would happen if the game would be considered a draw if the rain didn't let up. That way Sonoko wouldn't get her way because she didn't win. About five minutes later I had this strange feeling almost like a new star was burning inside of me. Then I started to wonder if Serena was in trouble or not or if we should just go check and make sure. But Serena came back within ten minutes so it wasn't a big deal. Also while Serena was gone the sky cleared up totally turning the rainy gloomy day into a bright sunshine filled day. The game then continued.
"The score block has finally been broken with a nice home run by Seiya! However, all that can change with Sonoko up. There are people on both first and third bases with two outs! Oh that is one nice hit right down left field!"
"Serena, get it!"
Everyone was on the edge of their seats ready to see if Serena had caught it. When the dust settled everyone saw that Serena had caught it allowing the win by our class! Everyone in the stands who had been cheering us on went out to the field to congratulate her on her amazing catch. WE all went out for some pizza afterwards.
"So do you think you'll go out for the team next year Serena? What about you Seiya going to team up again next year?", I asked.
"No sport teams aren't for me."
"What about you, Seiya?", I asked again.
"I don't know if we're going to be in Tokyo next year so item will decide.", he finally answered.
We were quiet for awhile because we hadn't thought about the Three Lights moving out of town.
"Anyway, when is your next show?", asked Mina.
"Not for a little while.", answered Taik-san.
"We should be going, Maria, we have to get ready for school tomorrow.", Lita said getting up.
"Alright. Bye, everybody."
We started walking home when we ran into Amara and Michelle.
"Hey, we haven't seen you in a while. What have you been up to?", asked Lita.
"Not much. What we're you two doing?", asked Amara.
"Celebrating our softball victory.", I answered.
"Who went to celebrate you?", asked Michelle.
"Serena, Amy, Raye, Chibi-Chibi, us two, Seiya, Yaten-kun, and Taik-san.", answered Lita.
"I want Serena to stay away from the Three Lights.", Amara said.
"Why? I think they're nice people, why should she stay away from them?", I asked.
"If she's not careful she'll be the one to get hurt in the end, not them.", answered Amara.
"Come on Maria let's go."
"Alright Lita. Amara I still think you're wrong about them."
When we got home Lita checked the mail and there was an envelope from the Three Lights' fan club. When we opened the letter enclosed was plane tickets for tomorrow night to see their new movie to be coming out in another month or so but a select group of people get to see it through the fan club.
"Maria, we should keep this a secret from Serena alright? We have to make sure not to say a thing about this in front of her."
"Alright."
We called Mina and told her not to anything in front of Serena since Mina is the one with the biggest mouth.
The next morning while walking to school Lita and I ran into Amy. It turned out that she had also received a plane ticket for tonight's flight.
"Good morning!"
"Serena!", Lita and Amy said in unison.
"You're early to school today.", I said.
"What are you guys talking about?"
"Nothing special.", said Amy in 'I'm hiding something from you but I'm trying to hide it' voice.
"I think I can come to school early when I smell a secret."
Lita, Amy, and I were trying not to look at Serena because we knew if we did we would spill.
"Good morning! Did you bring yours?", yelled Mina.
"Mina you idiot.", I said to myself.
"We're friends aren't we? I thought we were good friends so close that we could share anything with one another.", Serena said with her annoying wailing.
"Mina."
"Sorry but I didn't expect her to be talking to you."
When Serena got done with her wailing we walked into class.
"The reason why we got tickets is we belong to the fan club.", I explained.
"Don't you belong to the fan club, Serena?", asked Lita.
"I do now. Seiya!", Serena yelled running down the hall.
"Huh? No I don't have any tickets because the seats were already limited as they were.", said Seiya.
Serena then went to Yaten and Taiki and both of them had the same answer as Seiya did.
"Poor Serena. Would anyone be willing to give up their ticket so she can go?", asked Lita looking at Mina.
"What!? No way! I had to mail in 30 letters and I only got one ticket."
The whole day Serena kept trying to get a ticket from them but she got the same answer every time. After school we had to head to the airport right away so we wouldn't miss the flight and also so all of us could sit by each other on the plane. The plane started boarding at about a quarter after five. The Three Lights boarded at about 6, thanking for all of who had turned out and hope that we enjoy the movie. To our surprise they went up stairs.
"Hey why are they going up stairs?", asked Mina.
"I think they'll be down after the movie for an announcement.", Amy answered.
"Attention passengers take off will be delayed. We are still waiting for one passenger.", one of the flight attendants said.
"There is always a slow poke.", said Mina.
"Sounds like a certain someone I know.", added Raye.
When we saw Serena walk on to the plane we were all surprised. The flight attendant seemed to shove her up the stairs which left us wondering not only how she got a ticket but also why she got to be with the Three Lights. We took off and the lights were turned off for better viewing of the movie. It got into about an hour or so when Raye, Mina, and I got tired of being downstairs and wanted to seek upstairs. So we all quietly sunk up to where they were and found Siren with three phages.
"Sailor Stewardess get rid of those five girls.", commanded Siren.
One of the phages used a cart to push all of us down the flight of stairs. We then charged at the three phages and got into a type of street fight with them. I managed to get up the stairs to see if Serena needed help. Siren went for her broach which was a big mistake since it has the Silver Crystal in it.
"That's a true star seed alight. Now give me your star seed.", commanded Siren getting ready to fire.
"odango.", Seiya said reaching in his pocket for something.
"No Seiya don't!", yelled Yaten.
Right before Siren could fire Seiya broke lose from the straps then both Serena and I heard, "FIGHTER STAR POWER! MAKE UP!"
Seiya is Sailor Star Fighter., I thought to myself.
"I told you that I would protect you if anything put you in danger.", Fighter said to Serena.
By then the girls had seen Seiya transform and none of us could speak.
"Seiya, you idiot.", Yaten said furiously.
"You know there's no choice now. MAKER STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"
"HEALER STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"
"Sailor Starlights, Stage ON!"
"No way.", said Mina.
"Yaten-kun is Star Healer.", said Raye.
"Taik-san is...", started Amy.
"Star Maker.", finished Lita.
"Oh no. Sailor Stewardess!"
"STAR SERIOUS LASER!"
"You girls should move out of the way so you don't get hurt.", said Healer.
"No we're not. Serena transform.", said Raye.
"Right."
"MARS CRYSTAL POWER!"
"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!"
"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!"
"VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!"
"PHEBOS CRYSTAL POWER!"
"MOON ETERNAL, MAKE UP!"
"I didn't know there we're this many sailor scouts. Get rid of them!", whined Siren.
When the phages tried to attack us Maker and Healer took care of them.
"Sailor Moon. Turn them back.", I said.
"Right. SILVER MOON! CRYSTAL POWER KISS!"
"Beautiful!", said the phages turning back.
"Now you're the only one left.", said Fighter.
"GALATICA TSUNAMI!"
We took care of her attack in no time flat.
"You've run out of things. What are you going to do?", I asked.
"I'll be back sailor scouts with another plan.", answered Siren teleporting.
For a while we just all took a long look at one another like we didn't believe it. We all returned to our seats acting like nothing had happened. When we got off the plane the Three Lights were busy signing autographs when Seiya looked up at the six of us. He quickly left along with Taiki and Yaten.
"How come we didn't see this before?", I asked everyone.
"I don't know but I think we all need to think about what has happened.", answered Lita.
So we all headed home thinking about what had happened on the plane. I don't know why none of saw that they were actually the Starlights. I couldn't help but feel as if this was our fault for not being honest with them about secrets and why did they feel like they couldn't tell anyone. Even if we weren't scouts I would have been open to accept them. Over the next few days we had to continue with our lives but for some reason the Three Lights did not come to school. Serena seemed to be the worst off because Seiya had transformed right in front of her to protect her. She said something the day after the plane ride, "I felt as if we knew each other and could understand one another but not quite."
Then yesterday how Seiya was injured from protecting Serena from Tin Cat's attack. This is how it went.
Raye had given Serena a ticket to see a radio broadcast of the Three Lights. After the broadcast it turned out that Lead Crow had chosen the DJ as the target. So when Serena found out she transformed and alerted all of us to what had happened. After Eternal Sailor Moon changed him back Crow was upset over Siren's death so she wanted a fight with all of us. There was one thing we didn't know that Tin Cat had some type of beam gun, which would be an instant kill if the person did not move, and aimed at Serena. Serena sensed something and turned around to see Tin Cat aiming at her right before it could hit Serena Seiya blocked the blast. She caught him but he was unconscious and a nasty gash on the right side of his head. When Maker and Healer saw this they attacked both Crow and Tin Cat. After the fight Maker picked Seiya up and I will never forget what they said to us after the fight.
"We don't want you to come near Seiya again.", Healer yelled.
"Forget that we ever knew each other. Bye.", yelled Maker walking away.
After that we hadn't heard from them since. We all went to Raye's temple to talk about how everything when Trista, Amara, and Michelle showed up.
"I would advise that you not see them anymore.", said Amara.
"Did you see how Seiya was doing?", Serena asked with concern.
"Yeah. I still recommend you not seeing them."
"All of you are terrible. They're fellow scouts why can't we understand each other?"
"But our enemies are also sailor scouts.", answered Amara.
"Try to understand that we're trying to protect you.", added Michelle.
"Please understand princess.", Trista said.
"If we had a chance I'm sure that we could understand each other. So don't go poking your nose in my business! I'm sorry I've said too much. I should get home.", said Serena running off.
"Serena wait!", yelled Luna running after her.
The rest of us were left wondering about how Serena was doing.
"I don't blame her for what she said to all you."
"Maria...."
"You guys think you know what is best for her when you don't understand her that well yourselves. Her and Seiya need to talk let them talk. I'm sure Seiya feels the same way. This is the one thing I don't like about you guys. You say you know how to protect her without thinking how she feels. I'm going to head somewhere to think for now."
I went storming off. I wanted to be by myself but there was no where to go and no one to talk to. Lita has had a set mind about the outer scouts. I then remembered when I was walking around that the Three Lights had a concert at an amusement park later tonight. SO started to head over there. There was a huge line but lucky me I had already bought a ticket a few days ago. When the concert started Seiya was there but still looked a little tired. When he started singing it was different somehow like he was trying to tell someone something. After he had finished he collapsed on stage. I knew that if I wanted to find out how he was doing that I would have to go back stage which meant I had to leave. While I was running I saw Serena. When we came into a clearing we saw Seiya struggling to walk.
"Seiya!"
"odango."
"Seiya you know better than be walking when we have a serious head injury.", I said.
Just then we heard some screaming then we saw a phage come with a bunch of balloons. Seiya got his transformation broach out but he couldn't manage to stand up without getting dizzy.
"Seiya, don't you're hurt. Let us handle this. MOON ETERNAL! MAKE UP!"
"PHEBOS CRYSTAL POWER!"
As we started to fight the monster it launched balloon bombs at us. Both of tried to prevent Seiya from getting hurt any further but the monster kept launching its attack at us. Then Serena and I saw the pink rose petals.
"My guardian deity is a planet up in the sky. The solider of the sky, Sailor Uranus!"
"My guardian deity is a planet with a sea of sand. The solider of embrace, Sailor Neptune!"
"My guardian deity is a planet floating in time and space. The solider of revolution, Sailor Pluto!"
"We three soldiers of the outer solar system are being led by a new crisis and.........Here we are!"
"I thought we told you to stay away from her but you don't know how to listen.", Uranus scolded Seiya.
"Uranus we seem to have a bigger problem right now.", said Neptune referring to the monster.
"SPACE SWORD....BLASTER!"
"Sailor Moon you're up.", said Pluto.
"SILVER MOON! CRYSTAL POWER KISS!"
A few minutes later Taiki and Yaten showed up to help Seiya to the ambulance.
"Why don't you tell him to stay from Serena?", asked Amara.
"She came to see him!", yelled back Yaten.
"Why do you two have to act like jerks!?", I yelled back.
"odango."
"What?"
"Thank you for hearing my song."
"Seiya.", Serena started to run but Amara caught her wrist.
For once understood why Amara and them acted they way they did. It was obvious that Taiki and Yaten wanted nothing to do with the scouts in this solar system. It seemed like Taiki and Yaten decided everything for Seiya and the outer scouts decided for Serena. It was an unfair situation but it was understandable from their viewpoint. As I walked home I wanted to go check in the hospital to see how Seiya was doing but I knew that Yaten and Taiki would not have it. When I got home no one was home. I knew it was early but I decided to head to bed. The next morning Lita was up making her lunch. At school there was still no sign of the Three Lights. Serena was really upset because Taiki and Yaten blamed her for Seiya's injury. When in reality it was partly their fault why he got hurt. If they hadn't told him not to see her not it wouldn't have happened but he would have been more prepared for that attack. We tried to cheer Serena up asking her if she wanted to come to a video game expo but she told Mina that she wasn't in the mood. While we were at the expo everyone entered it. Lita, Raye, Mina, and me were all eliminated with in the first round of composition. Amy made it to the final round with the defending champion. As a reward for winning Amy got a plaque and got to talk to Taiki one on one. I'm not sure what they talked about but while they were talking Crow came and spoiled the day. She took the Star Seed from Reiko Kanagawa (one of the judges who oversaw the match). Lita, Amy, and I transformed but Raye and Mina stayed in their costume that they came to the event in. During the fight Mercury kept trying to see where the monster's weakness was. Then from out of no where the Starlights came. Maker was the only who used his attack but Fighter kept trying to talk them into seeing how we wanted to protect our planet the same way that should have protected theirs. Luckily Sailor Moon showed up and changed the phage back. We all headed outside away from where the fight was.
"Seiya, how are your injuries?", asked Serena.
"I'm alright."
"I'm glad."
"Thank you, odango."
"Chibi chibi chibi."
"Alright we'll head home. Momma has to worried about us."
"..about us.", said Chibi Chibi grabbing Serena's hair.
"Okay don't pull don't pull."
"I think we should all be getting home.", suggested Raye.
"Alright. Bye guys. Hope to see you around."
Lita and I headed home but I noticed that Taiki and Yaten were acting a bit strange. Then again we hadn't been on good terms since the flight almost two weeks ago. At school the next day the teacher announced there was to be a school festival and our home room was to come up with something for the festival. We had some of the first hour class to come up with an idea. I think it was Yumiko who came up with the idea of a coffee shop. The next day we all decided to stay after school to help make signs, decorations for the room, and the costume design. Serena had volunteered to do the signs. Her handwriting had greatly improved from the last time I had seen it.
"Serena that's really nice writing. You've been practicing?", I asked.
"I just took my time writing the sign out that's why it looks good."
Lita and Mina walked in the door. Mina was wearing a long skirt French maid type of an outfit. Lita explained to all of us that the dress Mina was wearing was still being worked on and showed us a finished dress which she was holding in her hand. Serena asked Lita if she could try the dress on to see how she would look in one. After she tried it on she said, "It's a bit big in the waist."
"Oh, that's because I used Mina's measurements to make the dress.", Lita told Serena.
Everyone looked at Mina like she wasn't in the best shape she thought she was in.
"You're trying to provoke me, aren't you?", Mina asked a little teed off.
Since the preparation was taking longer than expected almost all of us ended up staying late to help.
"A school festival is exciting, isn't it?", Lita asked, "We all get to stay late here together."
"That's why it's a festival.", Mina said enthusiastically.
"Besides that I like the atmosphere since everyone's mind is untied as one. I believe it's important for everyone to work together.", Serena commented.
While we were working one of the girls brought in their radio for working music. Then the Three Lights' song came on and everyone stopped what they were doing and listened to the radio.
"They're still singing.", Lita commented.
"I hope they come see us.", I added.
After I finished up I went for a walk. While approaching the bridge I saw Seiya standing in the middle of the bridge looking down at the traffic.
"Seiya, what are you doing here?"
"I had to think alone for awhile."
"Well, do you mind if we talk about things?"
"No. What would you like to know?"
"Why haven't you three been in school lately? Everyone is worried about you."
"Yaten and Taiki see that it is better if we not talk to any of the other scouts for awhile."
"I think it si wrong of them in doing so. How can we get to know each other without talking or seeing you?"
"I don't know. Well, do you want me to know some things about you?"
"Well, I may say that I'm Serena's cousin but in our past lives we are sisters. I am also the leader of some scouts that are yet to be found. I live in a different universe and world. What about you?"
"We are looking for our princess from our home planet some light years away from here. To find her we sing our songs hoping that it will one day reach her. We feel like we are missing something because she hasn't appeared yet. The way Taiki and Yaten see you guys is the more noise you make the less Galaxia looks at us. I try to make them see through the way I see it as. We all are protecting this planet for the future's sake so why not work together?"
"That exactly how Serena sees things and I think both of you are right. My advice for you right now is to go talk to her. She misses you. You know where she lives right?"
"Yeah. I appreciate this with you. See you."
So for the next few days at school we all worked very hard to get everything ready. Then on Sunday we all went to school early to help Lita make the pancakes. Then at about 11 a.m. the festival was underway. I had to get changed into the dress that took Lita two days to get me to wear it. I came out of the bathroom in the dress and said, "Guys, I'm still not sure about this."
"Don't worry you look nice.", commented Amy.
The day continued and as we looked around at everyone we wished that the Three Lights would come drop by.
"That's not necessarily true."
"What'd you just say, Serena?", asked Mina.
We all headed into an empty classroom to talk.
"Seiya's coming?", asked Raye.
"Yep he promised."
"When did you see him?", asked Mina.
"It's a secret."
"Unbelievable.", we all said.
"Hey."
"Seiya-kun!", everyone yelled.
"Thanks for coming."
"I just wanted to try some of that cake that odango recommended."
"Oh shoot! I just ran out.", Lita said.
"Really?"
"I'll go make some more. Wait here."
"I'll help, too.", Raye said following Lita.
We sat Seiya down waiting for Raye and Lita. A few minutes later Raye came running in telling us that both Taiki and Yaten were by Chibi Chibi. When we got outside Lita and Yaten looked like they were in the middle of a fight.
"What are you doing here Seiya?", asked Yaten.
"I hope you didn't come to see her.", added Taiki.
"Is it wrong?"
"It's because of her!", yelled Yaten.
"She's irrelevant!", Seiya yelled back defending Serena.
"Stop manipulating Seiya!"
"What did you say?", asked Raye.
"Why are we talking like this? I believe we can work together. We can understand each other if we talk openly.", said Serena.
"We had better leave. Seiya, I have something to tell you.", said Taiki.
"Wait you two!"
"This is our problem! It's none of your business!"
"gomen, odango.", Seiya said following Taiki and Yaten.
After they left we all sat or stood around this one tree and started talking.
"What were they trying to do?", Raye asked.
"I can't image that they tried to attack Chibi Chibi-chan.", said Amy.
"Damn, what were they thinking?", asked Lita.
"Stop it, everyone."
"Why Serena?", Mina asked.
"Seiya, Taik-san, Yaten-kun...they're not bad people. Because they sing such beautiful songs they can't be bad people..."
"I've found you at last.", said some female voice.
"And who might you be? Interrupting us like this.", I asked the lady.
"The book my rival left me gave me wonderful info! I didn't know that this mediocre young girl has a real star seed. No wonder I didn't notice, Tsukino Usagi-san rather, Sailor Moon. I'll get your star seed!", the lady said revealing that she was Sailor Lead Crow.
"You don't know anything, do you?", Lita asked pulling her wand out.
"Then....", started Amy pulling her wand out.
"We're going to be very serious!", finished Raye pulling her wand out.
"Get ready to fight, Crow.", I said pulling my wand out.
"Everyone, transform!", said Mina pulling her wand out.
"Right.", said Serena.
"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!"
"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!"
"MARS CRYSTAL POWER!"
"PHEBOS CRYSTAL POWER!"
"VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!"
"MOON ETERNAL! Make UP!"
"It's impossible...for you to stop me now!", Crow said pulling out her whip. She then whipped Mercury and Venus into a concrete wall. So Mars and Jupiter went up next but both were whipped into the glass walls of the greenhouse.
"Mars, Jupiter! How dare you! Fight with me!"
"You're ahead of yourself if you think you can fight me.", Crow said whipping me into a tree. Turning to Serena she said, "If I get the real star seed then Galaxia-sama will be real happy. Ready?"
"You keep away from her!", Fighter said.
"Was this an invitation from our princess?", asked Maker.
"Anyway, we'll finish anything that interrupts us.", Healer said.
"I know you, too! You're those idols, right?", asked Crow.
"How'd you know that?", Fighter asked surprised.
"Don't move!", Crow commanded. Slowly from her bracelet a small glass tube with something black inside appeared but didn't know what it was.
"That's.....", started Maker.
"If you've been wandering around the galaxy, you must know what this is. This is a black hole! If you fall into it, you won't come back alive. If I let it loose it'll easily swallow up this school. Since there is a festival going on, I wonder how many people are here."
"If you do that, you'll die as well.", Fighter said.
"In any case, I won't live unless I return with a real star seed. Now surrender your star seed!"
"Okay.", Sailor Moon answered.
"No.", Venus said in disbelief.
"Serena, don't.", begged Mercury.
"Serena...", started Mars.
"Please, don't.", Jupiter begged.
"If you do that than you'll die!", I yelled.
"Stop!", yelled Fighter.
"Don't come closer! I can't involve innocent people, here!"
"Alright good girl.", Crow said firing, "This is great. I've never seen such a beautiful star seed. Siren, you were right."
Then from out of no where a blast came and broke the glass tube where the black hole was.
"Damn!"
"I see! So this is what you meant!", said Tin Cat from behind the tree.
"Damn you!"
"I thought I could be your friend, but too bad! I'll take the real star seed to Galaxia-sama so please don't worry. Good-bye."
"gomen, Siren.", Crow said then she was swallowed by the black hole.
"It looks like the end if I don't take the star seed now."
Fighter tried his attack to cancel the black hole but it was no use.
"No good! As long as that black hole exists...", said Maker.
"I won't let it happen!", Jupiter said getting up.
"That's right! I'm going to protect her.", said Mercury.
"Chibi chibi! no!"
"Go away!", commanded Tin Cat.
"No! Chibi? Chibi chibi!"
Both Serena and Chibi Chibi were swallowed by the black hole that was getting out of hand.
"Oh no! The supreme star seed is gone! This is a good time to go."
"Stop!", commanded Maker.
"What?"
"You destroyed the only clue to our princess!"
"Stop talking about such things. By the way, you guys had better get away. that crazy run won't stop!"
We all looked over at the black hole when we saw an energy beam come from the top which totally erased the black hole!
"Who is this girl? She erased the black hole!", Tin Cat said leaving
Serena started to float down to the ground and the Silver Crystal went back into her.
"This wave....This is it! Princess?!"
Then some lady appeared carrying Serena. We had no idea who she was but she looked nice and the Starlights seemed to recognize her.
"Princess Kakyuu!"
To be continued in 11....
