Changing Causes Chaos
Chapter Seven: Ouch!
--------------------------------
Huddled over piles of books in the stuffy library, Serena constantly scanned each page with the air of urgency, her blue eyes darted left to right, looking for something to preserve her sanity. About ten minutes later she threw that book off the table in disgust and was reaching for another when a thin, paperback book on a nearby shelf caught her attention. Getting up from the polished oak table, Serena walked slowly towards the shelf, pulled the book down and examined it's cover. The book had silver bindings and a blue fabric that was sewed onto it's cover. Stitched at the top of the fabric was it's title that said, 'Legend Of The Moon Kingdom' below that was it's illustrator name, Peggy Jones.
'Strange...' Serena thought. 'Where is the author's name?' Shrugging carelessly she then turned around and walked back to her chair to read a fairytale.
¦-------------------------------------¦
About two blocks away from Serena's location Darien trudged down the sidewalk just getting out of school. About twenty cop cars with their sirens loud and lights flashing zoomed by and took a left to another district of Tokyo.
"Hello Darien," called Amy as she caught up to him and another police car whizzed by, it's siren's blaring. Perched on top of the blue haired girl's shoulder was Luna who was grooming herself out of habit rather than necessity.
"Hey Amy, what is going on with all these cop cars?" Darien asked, his colbalt blue eyes followed another car. Unknown to him many girls swooned when he turned his eyes their way, he was beginning to become a looker. As another car past and also took a left Darien was beginning to think that there was a party being thrown and all the cops were invited.
"They were passing the school all day Darien," Luna said with a mouth full of fur.
"They were?" Amy nodded.
"You slept through it, you surprise me sometimes Darien," Amy said with a small giggle. Darien looked extremely confused but let her finish. "You'd think you've never slept before by the way you sleep in class."
"Hey! School is just so boring that-"
"Darien you'll never believe what happened!" called one of Darien's female friends. It was a girl named Kathy who had short chestnut brown hair and twinkling turquoise eyes with a smile to match her bubbly personality. With her were her two friends Sara and Alice. Sara had shoulder length black hair and serious brown eyes that contrasted with the warm smile she gave to Darien. Alice was the black sheep with those two, she had blonde hair and green eyes. Darien turned and grinned when he saw the three girls approach.
"What happened?" Amy questioned while juggling a math, chemistry and English book. Darien grabbed the chemistry book and held on to it for her, Amy sighed gratefully. "Thank you,"
"No problem, any ways Kathy, does it have anything to do with all those cop cars?" Kathy nodded ethusiastically.
"Yes! Up at the Sacred Cherry Hill Temple there have been a bunch of disappearances lately," Sara and Alice exchanged fearful looks. "The buses have been disappearing and taking alot of people with them, the cops have been trying to keep it hushed so no one will panic."
'That sounds a lot like the Negaverse's doing...' Luna mused silently.
"That's horrible!" exclaimed Sara, her brown eyes were narrowed angrily. "The Sacred Temple's really nice!"
"Really? I've never been there before." Alice piped up.
"Well, let's make it a point not to go there now that everyone's disappearing," Darien said with an effort to remain calm. "I think I'll stick to the video arcade, no one there has disappeared before."
"I hear that you can get good luck charms there!" Kathy said happily. "Also they're really cheap." Darien had a look on his face that showed that he thought she was crazy.
"Oh c'mon Darien! I hear they actually work, you might get some luck in school..." Darien made a face, "Or with a girl!" That caught his interest, Sailor Moon might be single.
"Really? Ok, let's go!" Darien handed Amy back her book and got ready to follow the three girls that had walked ahead.
"Darien could you get me one?" Amy asked and Luna jumped to Darien shoulder and got comfortable.
"Got a secret crush Amy?" he teased. Amy turned beet red.
"Oh no, not me. I just have been doing so much. I'd just like some good luck on those extra credit essays that I've been writing," Amy said quickly and walked off before a response could be said. Darien stood there with a grossed out look on his face.
"Extra...credit?"
---------------------------------
In front of a fiery blaze the raven haired priestess Raye kneeled. Her hands were pressed together in prayer and her fiery violet eyes were shut tightly. Down her furrowed brow, perspiration trickled irritatingly but she just ignored it and continued with her prayer. Tied loosely behind her head was her long hair that if undone went done past her lower back.
"Cleansing Flame, guide me through this blinding darkness. I sense a great evil approaching and I worry for Grandpa..." Raye chanted to the flame. Suddenly the flame blazed brighter and a face appeared within but no matter how hard the priestess concentrated she could not focus upon the face's features. Snapping her out of her concentration she could hear her grandfather yelling something and she quickly stood, whipped her face clean with a wet towel, undid her hair and headed towards the front door.
Opening the door she saw about three girls leaving with her white robed grandfather waving to them, or where he thought they were...Just coming up the steps was a fourteen or fifteen year old boy with black ebony hair, striking colbalt blue eyes and a black cat on his shoulder. Walking alongside him was a girl with short, sytlish brown hair that had a green bow in it.
"Oh? Back already?" Raye head her grandpa say to the two new people. "Want more charms? You better go, you'll miss your bus!" The two exchanged confused glances.
"Grandpa! Why won't you ever wear your glasses?" Raye called to the old man down below her. She walked down the steps with her hands on her hips.
"I don't need those contraptions," he replied stubbornly. Raye sighed in exasperation and took out his glasses from her pocket.
"I think you do, those aren't the same girls. He isn't even a girl!" she stated as she pointed to Darien. Molly giggled slightly.
"Wow, she's really something!" Darien whispered to Molly. Molly just nodded. Suddenly Raye felt like there was a stone block weighted down on her chest making it hard to breathe and she sensed something...
'Something is happening with these two people...' she thought slightly perplexed. 'I feel a evil presense has arrived.' Out loud Raye yelled,
"I won't have an evil force near our Sacred Temple! You must be banished!" Then with speed and grace she pulled out a scroll and threw it at Darien. It hit him square in the face and caused him to fall backwards stunned.
"Darien?!" the brown haired girl shrieked when Darien hit the ground. Realizing her mistake, Raye ran forward, kneeled next to the teenager.
"I'm sorry, I must have made a mistake..." Raye apologized.
----------------------
"owwww...." Darien moaned as he sat up and came face to face with the priestess that had knocked him out. "Oh my god!" He yelped and scooted backwards.
"He's ok!" the priestess yelled. Darien raised one eyebrow and scooted back a little more. First he was knocked out then she starts talking to herself, today couldn't get any worse. Darien thought as he eyed the raven haired girl cautiously.
"I'm sorry about before, I normally get visions and usually I'm right but I really messed up..." the girl apologized and she outstretched her hand to help him up. Taking her hand he got up and dusted himself off.
"You can see the future??" Darien asked.
"Yeah, by the way, my name is Raye Hino..." Darien opened his mouth to introduce himself when a middle-aged woman practically flew up the steps and started screeching something like a banshee.
"Huh?" Raye asked in confusion. The woman nearly popped a vein.
"My DAUGHTER! What have you DONE with her?!" she screeched and walked up to the priestess, her finger raised threateningly.
"I have no idea what you are talking about, miss."
"Grrr...my daughter came up here to by a charm, she was supposed to take the bus but I hear that the buses keep disappearing and I want to know where she is!!"
"I do not know where your daughter is, you may want to ask the police though. They have been searching all over the place." suddenly the woman growled again.
"Darien, I'm getting a bad feeling. I think you should get Amy and investigate these disappearances!" Luna whispered as she jumped on to his shoulder making him leap out of his skin.
"But Luna! I want to get a charm so-" he whined, his voiced high pitched and Luna winced.
"Stop thinking about yourself and call Amy!" Darien nodded in defeat and began to walked towards the stairs leading to the street of Tokyo. Right when he reached the sidewalk Luna leaped off his shoulder and threw to him a black watch.
"Call Amy," Luna said, her red eyes were annoyed and her tail swished left to right furiously. You could practically see the question marks appear in his colbalt blue eyes and the questions that were forming inside Darien's head.
"How?"
---------------------------
Twenty minutes later......
---------------------------
"Now do you understand how to work this??" Luna said with obvious exasperation. Darien said nothing for a little while, picked up the watch from the sidewalk that Luna had been demonstrating and examined it. Hope lit up in Luna's eyes as he opened the clasp.
"What does this do again?" Hope died and Luna buried her face in the cement.
"Give me that!!" She growled with a well calculated leap snatched the black banded watch and opened a signal to Amy. "Amy, you need to get down to Cherry Hill immediately!" Then when the communication was turned off she threw it back to the confused Darien.
"I still don't get it..."
Amy ran up to the two huffing and puffing tiredly. When she reached them she doubled over with her hands on her knees and her head bent over.
"You...called??"
"Yes, we are going to catch a ride on Bus 66"
"What?!" gaped Darien as Luna just ignored him. Out of nowhere a popping sound filled the air and threw the three to the ground. "What was that?!"
"I don't know! Come on!" yelled Amy. They stood up, with difficulty, and ran towards the bus stop just in time to witness all the zombified citizens get on a blue bus and marked at the top of the bus were the numbers '66'. "Darien! Transform!" Amy called to him. Time seemed to stop as Darien confirmed his worst fears. Molly was among the crowd of people getting on the bus.
"Molly!!" he cried and his eyes went wide. He ran towards the people and got on with them, before he took another step he remembered Amy and turned towards the window. Then he opened his mouth to yell something to her but a gagging feeling filled his throat, he began to see dots cloud his vision and fell unconscious-again.
