Sailor Twilight and the Neo-Eternal Youth Crystal

"Tiana Hikaru!" an irritated voice shouted down the dark corridor as footfalls sounded in the distance. The auburn haired girl ran onward, ignoring her friend Oriana's shouts.

"Something from the Negaverse is here, I can feel it." Tiana shouted, but continued running.

As Tiana ran, she began to hum a few bars of a familiar tune. The very air around her shimmered as she traded jeans for a navy blue skirt, t-shirt for a white, long-sleeved body suit, windbreaker for a long, darker than her skirt, cape, and white sneakers for navy blue ankle boots with yellow-gold star buckles. A dark blue ribbon replaced her pony holder and her forehead, ears, and neck glowed with yellow-gold light. The light enveloped her and when the light faded, Tiana had a tiara with a crescent moon and star as the center, a star charm necklace, star earrings, and a moon and star cloak pin. Tiana had become Sailor Twilight, her alter ego.

Sailor Twilight stopped running and waited for her friend to catch up. Oriana appeared seconds later, out of breath.

"I'm tired of this human gig." Oriana stated, snapping her fingers. In a tiny pop, the girl was hidden in a curtain of smoke, but when the smoke cleared, a tigress was where the girl had stood.

"Ah...so good to be in my true shape." the tiger purred.

Tiana just shook her head, smiling. Oriana was Tiana's guardian, true form, a lovely, stunning tigress. But in her human form she was shorter than Tiana with red-orange hair. Subtle black streaks ran through her hair, and her eyes were a deep emerald. Oriana had a thin build and a fiery nature, and she preferred to be in her true form.

"You know you don't have to...What's that?" Sailor Twilight asked, cautious. Slowly creeping around a corner, she made absolutely no sound, as if she was floating.

"Hiya!" she yelled as she flung a tiny figure over her shoulder.
