"Anna! ……Anna! AnnaRose McNalle, you wake up this instant."
"What is it mom?"
"What is it It's time for school!"
With her black hair in knots, a 16 year old girl rolled over. Her face glimmered with the remnants of glitter she wore the night before. Her leopard-print pajamas askew she crawled out of bed, muttering something along the lines of, "Damn school making me... fricka, fracka…." After a short shower she descended the stairs combing her hair. "Don't you dare comb your hair at the table?" Her mom scolded, just like every other morning. Now, unless you've met AnnaRose you would never know that she was adopted, she even speaks with a perfect American accent. However, as soon as you see her next to her parents it is plain as day. Anna is tall and skinny, she is pale with slanting azure eyes which are offset by her obsidian hair, which's waves glisten and sway as she walk. Dressed in a pair of boot cut jeans and a black short sleeve shirt she mutter, "Yeah, Yeah," as "mom" yelled at her once more. "What did you say?" Mrs. McNalle's tone became menacing. "Nothing," Anna smiled innocently, finished brushing her hair and headed for the door.
"See ya later!"
"Bye Dear."
As she walked toward the door she tripped and almost fell.
"MEYOW!"
"Oops, sorry Ezmerelda."
She replied to the trodden black cat. She had found Ezmerelda wandering the streets a few months ago and promptly took her in. Though she was a strange cat. She was completely black, even her eyes, except for one patch of white fur in between her shoulder blades shaped like a star. Maybe that was why Anna liked her so much. Anyways as she hefted her back pack over her shoulder Ezmerelda followed her, one of the things she seemed rather fond of doing. Humming to herself, AnnaRose absently started down the path through the park. "Same as always" Anna muttered to herself. Or was it, suddenly Anna got the major creeps. Shivering she tried to pass it off as being nervous over that bio test. But it refused to leave her, the further she got into the park the more frightened she became, until finally, her nerves tingling, she broke into a run. She ran until she couldn't run anymore. "What is this? I..." she wondered hurriedly, "I should have been out of the park by now"
Terrified, her hands clammy, she stopped dead when she heard something from a nearby clearing. If Ezmerelda hadn't promptly bitten her chances are Anna would have been discovered. For when Anna was bitten she dove into the hedges. From her hiding place she could see everything. She could see a tall man wearing dark blue slacks, a blue jacket with gold buttons, and what appeared to be a red sash. The man's blond hair and blue eyes were so cold it felt like plunging into a lake mid-winter. Quickly she looked away there was a girl in the clearing also, only she clearly looked as frightened as Anna felt. Her auburn hair was falling out of her French braid, and her brown eyes looked wild with fright. Her knees were scrapped and she was clearly exhausted.
"Who, who are you?" she stammered out, "Just please leave me alone." the tears now flowed freely down her cheeks.
"Now, now, none of that will matter soon" the man said in an all too smooth voice. "Anna," a whisper sounded in her ear making her jump.
Looking around Anna hoped nobody had seen her.
"Anna" the whisper came again. It was right by her ear. "I don't have time to explain right now but that girl needs you."
At this Anna turned bewildered. Well, what Anna saw was definitely not what she expected. Ezmerelda was sitting with what looked like a purple stick with a miniature globe at the end.
"You need to take this and say Earth Celestial power".
Anna was a little to shocked to do anything but stare and didn't react.
"Wait, was Ezmerelda talking…..Noooooo cats don't talk, but I could have sworn…."
A single scream echoed throughout the park. Glancing up Anna noticed the man pinning the girl to a nearby tree. "I have to do something" she thought… "Okay so my choices are believe the talking cat or wait here to be found….wonderful."
Ezmerelda spoke once more "You don't really have a choice and you know it. I already told you I don't have time, so you're going to have to trust me, alight?"
Sighing, Anna shook her head. She really didn't have any other choice. Grasping the stick in her hand she felt the words trickle out softly, "Earth Celestial Power" Suddenly Anna felt the world around her change. It was dissolved into the nothingness of some strange purple energy. The power surged through her changing her, restoring her, she felt that stick in her hands elongate and become a staff; she felt the clothes she was wearing melt away and once more be replaced; upon her head she felt the energy condense once more and in it's place was left a glittering tiara. Then came the memories. It felt as if someone had opened a photo album and showed her all its pictures at once. Her past, the Earth as it used to be, the Staff of the Ancients, her mother dieing on the battle field, her brother leaving them to fend for themselves, the Negaverse, and the elemental stone. It all came back to her in one giant sweep. "Welcome Back Sailor Earth" Ezmerelda's worlds echoed in her stillness. Now, I don't know about you but I would sure notice a bush that was glowing purple, and be that as it may it caught Jadeite's eye. Dropping the woman he turned to face this new threat. "Who goes there?" He demanded in his haughty tones. Sailor Earth then emerged from the bush. Her hair was now short and curly, her eyes and hair were a matching shade of violet, which seemed to glow with a life of their own. On her body was a tight fitting v neck shirt that was sleeves and dropped short of her belly button a thin line of purple tracing its edges. Her skirt was also black with its purple trim only it was pleated and went to mid thigh starting at her hips under he skirt were black shorts too short to see. Her boot were also colored in a similar fashion reaching a point at her knee the lip curved around and the boots themselves seemed to be custom made right down to the narrow heel, upon her head was a golden tiara in the middle of its band was inset an opal of magnificent beauty. One her stomach was a single rose tattoo. However despite all this what drew your attention was the staff she held by her side. The ancient wood appeared to be weathered from much usage but somehow it glistened as if still brand new. Carved upon it's twisting body are many ancient ruins and symbols long forgotten, it as it curved it came to what appeared to be where some gem would go, however there was no gem in the claw of wood which grasped for one. A sneer crossed Jadeite's face. One girl, he scoffed, what does she think she's doing, but suddenly that smile left his handsome face and he backed up as he noticed her weapon.
" T the sst stta staff of the…"
"Earth's Vines Entangle!" shouted Sailor Earth. And Jedeite had no time to finish. Pointing her staff at the ground Sailor Earth had summoned forth monstrous vines which quickly grasped him tight squeezing him too tight to breath. Sailor Earth walked over to him and gave him a cold stare.
"I know what it is General. Do me a favor and send the Negaverse a message for me. Get off my planet." With that the vines tore in opposite directions and all that was left of Jadeite was a pile of moon dust.
