Chapter 12- Soldier of Silence
Hotaru Tomoe walked through the park as she hummed her favorite song. She was very excited. Tomorrow was a big masquerade ball at the Embassy to raise money for charity. She and all the scouts would be attending. She couldn't wait.
"I wish Rini was still here," she said thinking of her best friend, Rini,
Rini was actually the future daughter of Serena a.k.a Neo- Queen Serenity and Darien a.k.a Neo-King Endyimon. Rini had come from the future a few times to train as the sailor scout Sailor Mini Moon. Now she had returned to the future for a while.
As Hotaru walked along the pond in the park, her hat suddenly was swept off by a gust of wind. Hotaru ran after it, but the hat soon disappeared. As Hotaru was searching around for the hat, she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. Hotaru look up to see a girl standing there holding her hat.
"Is this yours?" asked the girl holding out the hat.
She had short black hair, and purple eyes. She looked about 13. She wore a Crossroads uniform.
"Yes, thank you," said Hotaru taking her hand.
"Your welcome," replied the girl with a smile.
"I'm Hotaru Tomoe," said Hotaru as she introduced herself.
"Lauren Ryan," said the girl.
"You aren't from around here?" said Hotaru a little bit later as she and Lauren were sitting on a bench.
"Was it that oblivious?' asked Lauren, "I'm a transfer student from America."
"There seems to be a lot of transfer student from the U.S," comment Hotaru, "Some of my friends know some girls that have just transferred here."
"Yes," said Lauren, "I know all the girls that have transferred here. We came in a big group."
"You guys must be pretty close then," said Hotaru.
Lauren nodded, "We're almost like sisters. All 12 of us."
In a different part of the park:
Black Sun and Dark Moon appeared. Black Sun was holding a black crystal.
"This crystal should help us locate the Zodiac Crystals," she said a she threw it up.
The crystal began to glow and then produced an image of Hotaru and Lauren.
"Ah, one of these girls must hold a Zodiac Crystal," stated Dark Moon.
"The problem is which should we attack?' questioned Black Sun.
"Which ever one you want," replied her partner.
Black Sun looked carefully at each girl.
"That one," she said pointing at Lauren, "She's the target.
Meanwhile:
"So what's your family like?' asked Hotaru.
"Well, I live with my mom, who is a nurse, my older sister who is a high school student," said Lauren, "What about you?"
"I lived with Amara, Michelle, and Trista," said Hotaru, "Their sort of like my dad, mom and aunt."
Lauren giggled.
Suddenly two shadows loamed over them. Lauren and Hotaru turned around to see Black Sun and Dark Moon standing right behind them. Hotaru and Lauren stood up.
"Can we help you with anything?" asked Lauren who was trying to be polite.
"Yes, your soul!" said Black Sun holding up the crystal which a beam shot out of.
Lauren dodged the beam quickly.
"Lets get out of here!" shouted Lauren to Hotaru who nodded in agreement and started to run.
"We better split up," said Dark Moon turning to his partner, "I'll take the chosen one and you'll take the other."
Black Sun nodded and ran off after Hotaru. Dark Moon watched her run off before leaving. Your crystal's mine, he thought as he ran off after Lauren.
As Hotaru ran through the shrubbery she looked behind her to see if Black Sun was still chasing her. Black Sun was nowhere to be seen, Hotaru gave a sigh of relief. Then she held up her hand.
"Saturn Planet Power!"
Hotaru's fingernails suddenly got manure and became sparkly white. Then Hotaru was surround in a world of white. Her sailor suit formed, followed by her purple skirt, knee high boots, tiara, and jewelry. Finally she flung her hair behind her shoulder and then her glaive appeared in her hand. Sailor Saturn had arrived.
Above in a tree, Black Sun had watched Sailor Saturn's transformation.
"Now I know your identity, Sailor Saturn and I now know you truly is the holder of a Zodiac Crystal," whispered Black Sun as she watched Sailor Saturn run off.
Lauren was trapped! Dark Moon had her cornered up at a tree. There was no way for her to escape. He laughed evilly.
"Your Zodiac Crystal is mine!" he shouted as he held up the crystal that shot a beam right out at Lauren.
"Oh, no!" thought Lauren as the beam got closer and closer, "I'm in big trouble now and there's no one who can help me!"
