Chapter 14: A Demonic Creation
Scarlett turned away from the computer to face Serena, who was gazing at her expectantly, eagerly.
"You're right. Rainbow's stories are quite interesting. And also very immoral, what with those disgusting lesbian characters in them. Perhaps you had an idea that could work in our favor?" she asked.
"Maybe we could get Aphrodite to make Spectra for us. We could send her to Rainbow and she could convince Rainbow to not only give us her Senshi bracelet, but also she could help us break up Pierre and Ahmed. That way we can do it peacefully, without hurting anyone," Serena explained.
"Make Spectra? Well, I suppose, although I don't think she's ever created people before. Then again, she did give us that new power that brought you and Mozzarella here, so anything might be possible," Scarlett said.
Later, at Rainbow's house, she and the others were having dinner.
"Serena got to meet her favorite characters, right? What if you got that, Rainbow?" Pierre happened to ask playfully.
"It was different with Serena. Her favorites were established anime and manga characters that someone else created. Also, it's pretty obvious that this Sailor Nemesis person is the one who brought them from their anime world, just like the Magic Knights were sent here," Rainbow replied.
"Really? What if somewhere, in an alternate universe, your Space Girl Spectra characters are real people?" Pierre teased.
"If that's true, then I'd love to meet Spectra. If she was real, the world would be a much better place, and so would my life because I could love her without her putting any pressure on me to do social things with her," Rainbow answered, taking Pierre's teasing seriously.
"You, my Australian friend, are more of a sicko than Pierre. Not only are you a lesbian, but you just expressed a romantic interest in your own made-up character! Isn't that kind of like incest!" Galaxy exclaimed in disgust.
"What! It's not like Spectra's my made-up sister or anything! And what's wrong with being a lesbian! You're being just as bad as the Love Angels!" Rainbow accused.
"I am NOT! If I was as bad as them, I would want to kill you for it! All I did was insult you, that's not the same as them," spat Galaxy.
"Rainbow, since you're finished eating, why don't you leave before you and Galaxy start another bickering match," sighed Haruka.
"Gladly. I don't deserve to be bossed around by a stupid prissy fashion-freak anyway. Better than Spectra, I wish her sisters were real so they could attack you! Green would be SO angry at you for wanting everyone to be so fake and prance around in frilly dresses!" shouted Rainbow as she stomped out of the room. She immediately went to her bedroom and began typing more of her stories.
"Today will be the day when Space Girl Spectra's team fights an evil alien race that's trying to make everyone fit their stupid ideas of gender roles and fashion. That'll show Galaxy," she muttered angrily to herself.
"But I'm not a violent person. You made me that way," said a soft, high-pitched, eeriely emotionless child's voice. Rainbow turned around and saw a huge, strange-looking girl. She was 12 feet tall, with a humongus forehead that was as big as Kurumi Kino's. She also had large muscles, just like Madoka Hino, and she had very long red hair as well. Her lavender eyes stared at Rainbow blankly.
"Spectra! It's really you! Pierre was right! You've come to life!" Rainbow gushed, hugging the Silent Rebel Child, as she was called sometimes.
"Why are you writing me to be violent?" Spectra asked once again.
"Oh, not you," Rainbow said quickly, "I meant the other girls on your team."
"Why is it my team? I cannot own people," Spectra said, sounding a bit confused. Rainbow was as well.
"I just said that because you're the main character, not because you're the leader. Why are YOU appearing here and questioning everything I say?" she demanded, turning her anger on Spectra.
"Because I am the Silent Rebel Child. That's what you call me," Spectra answered, still just as calm as ever.
"No! You're not supposed to call YOURSELF that! That's what the other characters call you! The real Spectra wouldn't be that arrogant!" Rainbow shouted, jerking away from her "creation."
"Who says I'm being arrogant? Is not a rebel a despised person in many societies?" Spectra asked innocently.
"Okay, now you're just being confusing," pouted Rainbow, "It's not a good idea to confuse your own creator. I could write a story that kills you off, you know."
"But you would not do that. I'm your favorite character, as you said during your argument with Galaxy." As she spoke, Spectra reached for Rainbow's wrist, where her transformation bracelet was.
"You ARE being arrogant! Stop that! You can't be Spectra if you're acting like that! You're acting more like Orange!" Rainbow accused.
"How? I am merely repeating what you yourself said," Spectra replied, her fingers stretching closer and closer to the pine green wrist-ring of Peppermint. She finally touched it and began to slip it off of Rainbow's wrist, when the enraged budding author grabbed hold of the bracelet too.
"You're not Spectra. She would never try to steal anything. You're probably sent by one of those Love Angels," Rainbow growled.
"Why do you presume I was sent by those I do not know of? By the way, it is of no concern to me, but it might be to you. Your friend Pierre is in an abusive relationship with Ahmed. You know it's only a matter of time before Ahmed starts demanding that he gain more weight or abusing him in some other way. That's all their relationship is based on, Ahmed's lust for fatness."
"Peppermint Power, Make Up!" Rainbow snarled, wrenching her bracelet out of Spectra's grasp and transforming into Sailor Peppermint.
"Why do you like me so much if you're such a violent girl?" Spectra asked.
"I DON'T like you! Because you're not Spectra! You're a fake, probably sent by the Love Angels to trick me! Supreme Thunder!" Sailor Peppermint shouted, shocking Spectra with an electric bolt. Downstairs, Sailor Cookie and Sailor Popscicle were having their own problems, as Angel Salvia had arrived to oversee the mission she had sent "Spectra" on.
"I don't have business with you two today. Just let me through to find that other Senshi, the green one," Angel Salvia demanded, as the two fattest Senshi were blocking her in the doorway.
"No way. I'm not going to let your hurt her, even if she is a stupid lesbian who lusts after her own creations. It's my job to show you Love Angels that just because someone disagrees with homosexuals, it doesn't mean that person has to be cruel and try to get rid of them. Not to mention that sword is an unladylike weapon for you to have," Sailor Popscicle said, referring to the sword that Angel Salvia was holding.
"Out of my way, foolish Sailor Senshi! Passionate Cake Cut!" Angel Saliva shouted, nearly stabbing Sailor Popscicle.
"Paper Cut...OOF!" Sailor Cookie was cut off as Sailor Peppermint crashed on top of him. Spectra was calmly walking down the stairs after her.
"Good job, Spectra. Now get rid of them both," Angel Salvia commanded.
"I said, you're not Spectra! And don't throw me again! SUPREME THUNDER!"
"Paper Cut Slash!" Sailor Peppermint and Sailor Cookie threw their powers at Spectra, knocking her back into the stairs with a loud crash. Angel Salvia knelt over her, and then raised up her sword.
"Passionate Cake Cut!" To the surprise of the three Sailor Senshi, Angel Salvia destroyed her own demon.
"Why did you get rid of her? I thought she was yours, used to try to trick me," Sailor Peppermint questioned.
"I wanted to destroy her myself. I hate your stories, full of such immoral acts and foolish rebellion against true love and everything that is sacred. Well, I failed this time, Sailor Senshi; I do not wish to be shocked like that. Goodbye," Angel Salvia said as she left, closing the door behind her with a slam.
"Well, I have to agree with her. I don't like your stories much either," commented Galaxy.
"What! Why do you always agree with our enemies like that?"
"You two are acting like the bickering couples on Wedding Peach," Pierre teased, which earned him a bombardment with the couch pillows.
