Recap:
"Look out!" Sailor Mars yelled. The outers turned around quickly as Sakura looked up. They saw a bunch of acid flying at them and it was too late to stop!
CHAPTER EIGHT
Sakura's POV
The attack was about to hit us. 'What are we going to do?' I thought hurriedly. 'I've got no choice. I don't want my friends to be hurt. I guess it's time to reveal myself to the inners.'
Normal POV
Sakura's eyes started to glow silver. On her forehead, a silver eight-pointed star started to appear. The star started to glow as her eyes glowed brighter. The inners were mystified by what was happening to Sakura. Suddenly, just as the acid was about to hit the outers, who were in front of Sakura, she lifted one had and a silver barrier flashed into place around herself and the outers. The acid hit the barrier and disappeared into thin air.
The inners, Sailor Moon, and the youma were surprised by the barrier. They could see what was going on inside.
Inside, Sakura was speaking. "Outers, you and the inners have one more transformation. I'm the only one who could give it to you. Serena can't give it to you. Just like I can't give the inners their last transformation. Serena's able to give it to the inners when it's time," she told them. "Now, take out your transformation pens."
Once all four were holding their pens, Sakura closed her eyes and cupped her hands while sitting up(only her ankle was trapped). A rainbow-color filled crystal slowly materialized in between her hands as Sakura concentrated. In a burst of silver light, four beams came out of the crystal. Each beam was either a purple, an aquamarine, a yellow, or a dark green color. The beams hit the pens and they rose out of the scouts' hands. Silver dust fell out of nowhere and when they made contact with the pens, it slowly morphed into a sort of crystal. Circular brooches appeared in the outers' hands. One of the crystals was a dark purple color and was shaped to be a miniature version of her Silence Glaive. The Saturn Crystal slowly floated to its princess and fitted itself into the deep groove that was designed specifically to hold the crystal in the brooch. A yellow crystal shaped like her Space Sword floated to Uranus's hands and into the brooch designed for the Uranus Crystal. The Neptune Crystal was an aquamarine color and shaped like the Neptune Mirror. The Pluto Crystal was shaped like her Time Staff and was a dark green color. Each of those crystals floated to their respective owner's brooches.
Sakura's POV
I opened my eyes and watched as the crystals floated down to rest in their brooches. "Okay, scouts," I said as the crystal's glow went down a little, though still glowing. "Your transformation phrase begins with your planet name, and then 'Princess Cosmos Power'," I told them. I watched as they raised their transformation brooches.
"Saturn…Princess…Cosmos…POWER!"
"Uranus…Princess…Cosmos…POWER!"
"Neptune…Princess…Cosmos…POWER!"
"Pluto…Princess…Cosmos…POWER!"
"MAKE-UP!"
'It's definitely time to reawaken the princesses and the planetary crystals,' I thought. Water swirled around Neptune's body, shielding her from view. Wind surrounded Uranus while images of clocks surrounded Pluto and dark dust surrounded Saturn. All four of their transformations included stars. Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and there stood the outers among the falling dust.
Their uniforms now consisted of a white leotard with a skirt that went down to their ankles. The skirts were in their planetary colors and rimmed with silver. It also had slits on both sides that went up to mid-thigh to make it easier to move around in. All four were wearing ankle strapped heel shoes, too. Their gloves were the same as their 'Super' uniforms. Three cloths made of see-through material were covering their shoulders in their own colors. Their chokers now had their planet signs. The wings on their back stayed the same as before and their brooches rested in between the two bows on their fronts.
Once they were finished, I let the barrier down. /Uranus./ I thought.
'Yes, Princess,' she thought back.
/You now have control over the wind. Just will it to do something and it will. The same goes for the rest of you. Neptune has control over water, Pluto over time long it doesn't do anything drastic, and Saturn over deaths. Be careful with your new powers./ I warned them. They nodded and Uranus raised her hands toward my leg.
Normal POV
"Okay, what just happened here?" Sailor Mars asked while the youma just stood there, awed by the light show.
"It looks like the outers just got a power-up," Jupiter said. "I don't know what all this has to do with Sakura though. Is it possible that she has her own special powers?"
Mercury looked up from her compact computer. "I just scanned the power that threw up the barrier a while ago," she started. "It's all coming from Sakura, and it matches the power readings that I got from Sailor Star!"
"WHAT!" everyone exclaimed.
"Are you saying that Sailor Star is actually Sakura?" Sailor Moon asked, staring at Sakura in shock.
Before Sailor Mercury could answer, Jupiter shouted, "Look!"
All the scouts turned around quickly. Uranus had her hands raised and seemed to be concentrating. Wind slowly started to gather and when there was enough, Uranus sent the wind towards the wall. The piece of wall started to lift and when it was high enough, Sakura slid her ankle out. Once Sakura was safely away from the floating wall, the wind dispersed and the wall dropped back to the floor.
The youma finally snapped out of its daze and sent another blast of acid at them. The outers turned around. "Let's finish this, shall we?" Pluto stated, raising her staff. "Pluto…Time…MANIPULATION!" she called out, and mists came out of her staff, surrounding the acid. When the mists disappeared, the acid was still heading towards them, but in slow motion.
"It's my turn," Neptune said, smirking (what a surprise!). She raised her mirror in front of her and it started glowing. "Neptune…Water…REFLECTION!" she shouted out. An aqua beam came out of the mirror, and a wall of water appeared where the beam ended. When the acid hit the wall of water, it went back towards the youma, still in slow motion. Pluto waved her staff a bit, and the acid went back to normal speed, hitting the youma. It screamed as the acid burned through its flesh.
Saturn smirked also. "It's time to end this," she said in a cold voice. "Saturn…Silence…EXPLOSION!" she shouted out. Some kind of dark gas came out of her glaive and went straight into the youma's chest. Everything was silent for a moment, and then the youma's body exploded without a sound into dust, instead of disgusting body parts.
There was silence for a few moments, but then the inners and Sailor Moon started bombarding them with questions.
Sakura stood up with the help of Uranus. "QUIET!" she shouted out. They shut their mouths immediately, stunned. Sakura smiled mysteriously. "If you want answers, then come to the mansion later," she said, and then they were gone, leaving behind some silver dust on the floor.
The scouts stared for a few minutes. "Should we go?" Sailor Moon said, breaking the silence.
"We should," Sailor Mars said. "I want some answers and I'm getting them." She went out the door and jumped onto a nearby room. The others looked at one another and then followed.
There's chapter 8 for you. Sakura and the rest are going to be in for an interrogation. Well, review and I'll work on the next chapter.
