Chapter 4: Outer Senshi Fury. The Confrontation.
Suddenly, Striker felt a sharp prick at the back of her neck and yelled out a warning to Fighter at the same time Fighter yelled to her.
"Fighter!"
"Striker!"
"World Shaking!"
"Deep Submerge!"
They both leapt out of the way and two attacks hit the spot where they had once stood.
Striker and Fighter each jumped to other lamp posts and were looking around the area for their attackers.
"Hey! What's the big idea?!" Striker yelled out when she spotted the two figures cloaked in darkness on the edge of the clearing.
The two stepped forward to reveal their identities. One was tall, and had short sandy hair, while the other was short, and had shoulder length sea- green hair. The tall woman wore a navy blue, yellow, and white Sailor Senshi uniform and the shorter woman wore a turquoise, navy blue, and white uniform.
"We are Sailor Uranus and Neptune. It is our duty and mission to protect all planets and their inhabitants in this solar system from outsiders. And that's what you two are, outsiders," the sandy haired woman told them, a warning heard clearly in her voice.
"We aren't here to cause trouble. At least not for you senshi. Our business is with Empress Fero. And believe me, when we're through with her, you won't have a thing to worry about, concerning her," Striker growled their nemesis's name.
"What is your mission exactly?" the tall Sailor Uranus narrowed her eyes, thinking that if this Senshi were planning on hurting the Earth senshi, besides Fero, they would have to get through her first.
"Too many questions." Fighter waved her hand in the air and then turned to Striker. "Let's go. The others will be wondering what kept us."
Striker nodded and jumped down to the ground to follow Fighter. A figure appeared right behind Striker before she could react on her sixth sense and wrapped his arm around her neck, squeezing tightly. The Earth senshi were startled and Mercury took a step forward but Uranus stopped her with an arm. Striker reacted on instinct and kicked her heeled boot out at her capturer. It caught him in his stomach, causing him to buckle up and release her. Striker whirled around and narrowed her eyes angrily when she saw who it was.
"Hawk," Striker hissed in contempt.
Black Hawk straightened up with a grimace and grinned evilly. "Glad to see you haven't forgotten me, Striker."
"After the trouble you caused our princess, how could I forget you?" Striker growled.
"Ah yes, the Kinmoku Solar System Princess. She was a pretty one. But didn't you forget to mention about that little incident between us. After all, you did lose your innocence to me did you not?" He smirked. "It was a wonderful time."
Striker's eyes widened and narrowed again. The Earth senshi were in shock at hearing this. Wasn't Black Hawk a top general to Empress Fero?!
Fighter was clenching her fists as she tried to hold back her anger at what Hawk had done to Striker. 'Sere knew something was wrong but Hawk tricked her! That-that-'
"You tricked me! You transformed into my boyfriend and played up to me! You good for nothing piece of-" Striker's eyes burned with fire and she lunge at Hawk. Fighter yelled, "Striker!" but Striker ignored her.
She kicked out at Hawk who dodged her attack and sent a blow of his fist toward her abdomen. Striker blocked it easily and flipped over him. She started punching and kicking swiftly, every other blow hitting their mark. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Hawk prepare to lash out at her with his foot and she blocked him with her own foot. Hawk growled and aimed a punch into Striker's stomach. Striker ignored the pain and tried to block off Hawk's attacks. She sent a right hook at Hawk and it hit him square in the chin, but he came back harder.
Mercury and Jupiter both took steps forward to help Striker but Uranus and Neptune stopped them. Fighter started to hurry forward but Striker yelled, "No! This is my fight! Stay out of it, Fighter!"
Finally, Striker saw an opening and, ignoring the searing pain, threw a triple punch into Hawk's chest and jumped away.
Striker landed in a crouch near Fighter, breathing hard and gritting her teeth at the pain of being hit many times. Fighter quickly ran to her and asked worryingly, "Are you all right, Striker?"
"I'm okay," Striker forced out and stood up. She turned to Hawk and saw that he was sporting newly made bruises and cuts, and a sore leg.
I'll get you for this, Striker! Empress Fero will not take kindly to those who injure her generals!" Hawk growled and disappeared with a snap of his fingers.
"Damn you Hawk!" Striker yelled into the starry sky in frustration and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Sailor Mercury said.
"What?" Fighter replied angry that Seiya's beloved had gotten hurt.
"Can't you help us?" Mercury asked softly, her intelligent eyes pleading.
"Mercury, don't. They're not from here. And you heard them, they have their own mission," Sailor Uranus told her sternly.
"And we have our own," Sailor Neptune added, her sea green hair flowing gently in the cool night breeze, but her eyes remained emotionless.
"Hey!" Jupiter's cry caused them all turn to look at her. " Where'd they go?!"
Everyone looked at the spot where the two stranger senshi had stood, but they were gone. "Where did Black Hawk say they were from? Kinmoku Solar System? I'll ask Luna and Artemis to check up on that," Sailor Venus said to the others. "We have to find out who these two are and why they're here."
Sailor Uranus just looked at the spot where the Starlights had been, a frown marring her tomboyish face. 'A strange aura surrounded that Sailor Star Striker,' she thought. 'Who is she, really?'
Suddenly, Striker felt a sharp prick at the back of her neck and yelled out a warning to Fighter at the same time Fighter yelled to her.
