The Story Of The Galactic Sailors

The Masked Man

"So that… Thing was a…" Trinity started.

"A Nega Star Soldier," Nebula finished.

The two where sitting on the bed in Trinity's room. Nebula was explaining what she could to Trinity though much of her memory was fuzzy.

"So… Where are these other Sailor Scouts?" Trinity asked.

"I'm afraid I'm not sure… We'll just have to hope we can find them," Nebula admitted.

"Oh boy… Well… Ok then… Where do we start?" Trinity asked.

"We just wait… We can't start looking for trouble," Nebula said.

"And why not?" Trinity countered.

"Because you need to live a… partially normal life," Nebula explained, "No one can know about your powers, Treeny."

"But why not?! What's the use of having these way cool powers if you can't tell anyone?" Trinity pouted.

"Treeny… You are suppose to be the earths protector… If people know about you it will be much harder for you to do your job," Nebula stated.

"Ok, ok… No telling," Trinity said crossing her arms in dissapointment.

Nebula smiled slightly, "Well… It's getting late… I need a nice long catnap..." Nebula yawned as she curled up beside Trinity and closed her eyes.

The next morning was a Saturday so Trinity got up at the usual time and headed to the park to do some silent reading. Nebula came along and sat in the tree resting while Trinity did her reading.

"Hey Nebula… Want to go get something to eat now? I'm famished," Trinity smiled as she got up cradling the book.

"Sounds good to me," Nebula smiled as she hopped out of the tree onto Trinity's shoulder.

Trinity smiled and ran off at a good pace towards her favorite café.

"OUGH!" Trinity yelped as she turned a corner and bumped into someone.

"Watch it!" came a guys voice. Trinity looked up to see a brown haired guy with a red shirt and blue jeans. She blushed slightly and looked away.

"I'm… sorry," she mumbled.

"Good… You should be," the guy growled getting up. He sighed and brought his hand out to Trinity.

She smiled slightly and took the hand letting him pull her up, "Thanks… I'm very sorry."

"Just watch where you're going next time," he said as he turned and walked away.

Trinity watched him until he was out of sight. Her face was still a deep shade of red. Nebula watched her a bit confused from the fence she'd jumped to during the "collision."

Trinity shook her head then looked to her feline companion, "Lets get going."

"Yes… Lets," Nebula smiled jumping back onto Trinity's shoulder, "Just be careful this time."

"Ya, ya…" Trinity smiled and headed off towards the café once more.

They soon reached the café and Trinity ordered a capachino and asked for a bowl of milk for Nebula. The boy who worked there nodded and smiled as he brought out the order.

"You're cat is beautiful," he said as he placed the bowl of milk in front of her.

"Ya… She makes a great compainion," Trinity smiled.

"My names Daniel," the boy said with a smile as he put out his hand.

Trinity smiled back and shook his hand as she felt the blood rush to her cheeks. She hoped to god that he didn't notice.

Nebula sighed. This girl seemed to fall in love left and right and Nebula was starting to feel nauseated by it.

Trinity then decided to order a sandwich and got Nebula some tuna. The two ate and Trinity chatted with Daniel for about an hour.

Just as Trinity was getting up to leave the door of the café opened and the boy she'd run into earlier that day walked in.

He looked at her then laughed, "Great it's the clumsy girl with the weird purple cat."

Trinity looked shocked then stormed out of the café.

"That wasn't nice Alex," Daniel said.

"It wasn't suppose to be," the boy replied with a shrug.

Trinity kept running not really looking where she was going. Nebula ran after her as fast as her little paws would take her, "TREENY! WAIT FOR ME!"

Trinity stopped by a tree and held on as she gasped for breath and sobbed.

"Are you ok?" Nebula asked.

"He… He's so mean," Trinity said.

"You shouldn't take it all to heart Treeny… He doesn't even know you yet," Nebula advised.

"Like he cares about that," Trinity stated.

"HELP ME!" came a voice suddenly.

The two turned in time to see a young girl go flying from a beam of light.

"What in the world?!" Trinity gasped.

The two then saw a snake looking creature walk over to the girl. The girl wimpered and cried as the creature picked her up off the ground.

"Nega Star Soldier!" Nebula growled, "Transform!"

"Twilight Lunar Power!" Trinity said as she began to transform into Sailor Twilight.

"HEY!" Trinity growled to the creature, "Who told you you could go around terrorizing innocent people! Leave that girl alone! She is under my protection now! I am Sailor Twilight. Guardian of the earth and destroyer of evil monsters like you!"

The monster just laughed as it sunk its large fangs into the girls neck.

Sailor Twilight and Nebula went wide eyed, "HEY! I'm not finished with you!" Twilight shouted.

The creature continued to suck the girls energy from her.

"That's it! Twilight Illusion!" Twilight shouted as she closed her eyes putting them out at her sides. A sort of crystal mist formed around her. She opened her eyes quickly and put her arms together blowing the mist at the creature.

The creature jumped out of the way and came right at Sailor Twilight jumping on top of her and pinning her there. The creature smirked as it bared its fangs.

"Get off me you brute!" she shouted struggling to get free.

"Sailor Twilight!" Nebula shouted as the creature prepared to bite Twilight. Twilight closed her eyes tightly awaiting the outcome.

"No you don't!" Nebula shouted as she jumped at the creature clawing at it and biting it.

"Pesssst!" the snake creature hissed as it swatted Nebula away leaving her injured and weak.

"Nebula!" Sailor Twilight shouted to her feline companion.

The creature then looked back at Twilight and quickly prepared to bite her again. Twilight struggled to get free but she couldn't

The creature quickly bit her shoulder and began to draw out her energy.

"That's enough!" came a voice all of a sudden as an odd blue rose struck the creatures hand making it hiss in anger.

The creature let Twilight go to see who'd send the rose. She looked up in a tree to see a man dressed in a red and blue tuxedo, "Who are you?"

"They call me Neo Tuxedo Mask," he said looking down at the creature.

The creature suddenly lept into the air going straight at the masked man but the man jumped and the creature hit the tree branch.

"We are clumsy now aren't we?" the man laughed as he looking over at Sailor Twilight, "Are you just going to lie there or are you going to finish that creature off?"

Trinity glared at him but got up, "I'm getting to it."

"We don't have time to wait for you to do your make up and make yourself look pretty," he said.

Twilight just ignored him and prepaired to attack, "Twilight Illusion!" she said forming the same crystal mist around her and sending it at the creature.

"NOOOO!!" The creature screamed as it was turned into tiny pixles.

Nebula looked at the man and smiled, "Thank you Neo Tuxedo Mask."

"Any time…" he said as he turned to leave.

"Ya… Thanks…" Twilight said in a slightly angry voice.

Twilight de-transformed and the two of them headed back home.

"Oh come now Treeny… He was only trying to help," Nebula said.

"He was rude," Trinity said as she plopped down on her bed.

"At least we know we aren't in this fight alone," Nebula commented.

Trinity nodded and drifted off into her own thoughts. The guy was rude and obnoxious but there was something about him. He was cute and he had a gentle aura about him. There was just something about him that was drawing her to him. She soon fell asleep with Nebula by her side keeping her warm.
