The Story Of The Galactic Sailors
The Twilight Sailor
"Bye mom, bye Dad!" Trinity shouted as she rushed out the door. She was in her usual dark red and orange school uniform. Her navy blue and purple hair blew in the wind as she ran. Her bright bluish purple eyes scanning for any possible shortcuts as she ran.
She had to be in school early to help Randy Johnson with his English. She'd been his English tutor for the past two years and it didn't seem like she was getting through to him. Fortunately she's stubborn. She keeps changing her methods when they don't seem to be working. She really had no idea what she was going to try today, however.
"I should never have stayed up so late writing last night," she shouted to herself as she ran. She yawned and kept running till she finally reached the school, "Thank god," She sighed dropping her bag by the tree she usually sat by.
"So what took you?" A tall redheaded boy said as he walked up and sat beside her.
"Sorry. I was up late last night again," she replied.
"Whatever... Let's just get this over with," he replied.
"I don't see why you keep coming here every week. You don't seem to be paying attention anyway," she said.
"I try... I just don't get it," he said.
"Ok then... What was the last assignment in your English class?" she asked him.
"I need to write a short story," he replies.
Trinity smiled slightly, "Ok, now that I can help you with. What kind of story does it have to be?"
"Something about the future," he replied.
"Ok... Close your eyes," she said.
He looked at her oddly, "Why?"
"Just do it," she said.
"Fine, fine," he said as he closed his eyes.
"Now... What does the world look like in the 2300 century?" she asks.
"How am I suppose to know that?" he asked.
"Make it up... Maybe the trees are now purple or something," she said.
"No way... No purple trees... A bright purple sky maybe," he said.
"That's good... You have a start," she encouraged him.
"Ok... Flying cars and beams that can take you from one location to another... but not too far cause then the cars would be useless," he said.
(15 mins later)
"Ok... Trip and Lara walk into this abandoned 2000 century building and what do they see then?" Trinity asks.
"Hmm... The place is an old apartment building and as they go through it they see all sorts of old stuff from the 2000 century some of which they don't recognise," he said with a bit of a grin.
"That's good," she said, "Think you can finish on your own?"
"I... I don't know," he said.
"Oh, of course you can... You got this far on your own didn't you?" she said smirking slightly.
"No I didn't... You helped me," he said.
"All I did was tell you the kinds of things to make up... That's not very hard," she said.
"Ok... Thanks allot... I better get going... Class starts in a bit," he said as he picked up his bag and walked off.
The bell rang and Trinity headed for class.
After class Trinity headed to the park where she often did her reading. She walked to the small creek where the bridge was and ducked under it to read. She took off her shoes and socks and dangled her feet in the water.
She was reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. She was really enjoying it too. She let the story take hold of her and she could picture it in her mind.
"HELP!" someone shouted all of a sudden.
Trinity was knocked out of the world of the book and she looked around confused.
She put her shoes on quickly and snuck back out of her hiding place. She looked around and her eyes went wide when she saw a giant parrot looking woman attacking a lady and her two children. The mother held her children close in a protective hug.
"Parraclaw!" the creature screeched as it brought its two wing like hands together forming what looked like a hurricane.
"AHH!" the three shouted as they were thrown to the ground by the attack. They were scattered a bit now and the creature eyed the little girl.
Trinity narrowed her eyes slightly and gulped. She picked up a large rock that was on the ground, "Here goes nothing!" she shouted as she threw the rock at full force at the creature.
The rock missed but it got the creatures attention. It turned to look at her and growled slightly.
"Parraclaw!" it screeched again flapping its winged arms.
"Oh boy," Trinity said gulping again.
The parrot woman glared at her and suddenly flew into the air and came straight at her.
"AHH!" she shouted as she took off at a run.
"Not so fast little girl!" The creature screeched.
"Oh great it can talk too!" She shouted as she ran.
"AHH!" She screamed as she fell to the ground with a weight on her back.
"Your energy is mine!" the creature hollered.
"What?!" she yelled as she tried to move from the creatures grip.
"Your energy is MINE!" is shouted again as it slammed its sharp claws into her back.
"AHH!" she yelped as pain shot through her.
A slight fog started to seep from her body and into the creatures.
"NO!" she shouted trying to fight the energy drain.
'What's this?' a small purple and navy blue cat with a star on her forehead asked herself as she watched the attack, 'They've got another one. I have to hurry. I have to find her... I have to find all of them.'
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Trinity shouted in anger.
Suddenly Trinity's forehead began to glow. It revealed a symbol of some kind.
'It can't be...' the cat thought to herself, "It is!" she said out loud as she ran towards the two.
"What is this?" the creature asked as it looked at the symbol.
"Get away from her!" the cat shouted all of a sudden as it leapt into the air and brought out its claws to the creatures face.
"ARG!" the creature yelped as it held its face and fell to the ground releasing Trinity.
"You there... Girl... Take this!" The cat said as it jumped into the air doing a back flip.
"A talking cat?!" Trinity yelped.
The was a slight glowing then all of a sudden a small star like locket appeared and fell into Trinity's hand.
"What is it?" she asked looking at the cat.
"Just hold it out in front of you and say Twilight Lunar Power. Quickly before that creature regains its composure," the cat said.
"Ok then," she replied as she got up off the ground and held the locket out in front of her, "Here goes nothing... Twilight Lunar Power!"
Her body shone as she transformed.
"Wha?!" she exclaimed when the transformation was complete. She quickly looked herself over then looked at the cat, "How... How did?"
"You are sailor Twilight of the star kingdom. My name is Nebula and I am your guardian animal," the cat said with a smile.
"Parraclaw!" the creature screeched all of a sudden as it leapt at Trinity or Sailor Twilight.
"Ahh!" she yelped as she jumped aside, "What do I do?!"
"Say Twilight illusion! Quick!" the cat shouted.
Sailor Twilight got up quickly and closed her eyes putting them out at her sides, "Twilight Illusion," she said calmly as a sort of crystal mist formed around her. She opened her eyes quickly and put her arms together blowing the mist at the creature.
"PARRAHH!" the creature yelped as it disintegrated into starry pixels.
Sailor Twilight stared in awe at the spot the creature had just been.
"Congratulations Sailor Twilight," Nebula beamed, "You did a great job."
"Thanks..." she said as she plopped down on the ground with a sigh.
"Don't worry... You'll get use to it... Oh, I didn't get your name," Nebula said.
"Oh... I'm Trinity but all my friends call me Treeny," she said.
"It is very nice to meet you Treeny. I think we'll get along just fine," the purple and blue cat grinned.
"Ya," Treeny smiled.
