Still working on a title to this one, but nothing's coming to me. I'm also trying to figure out if this will be a sei-usa fic or not. Special thanks to Lunadoragon for reviewing (you'll find out who "they" are in the next few chapters... ). For now, lets have fun (I have to be careful tho cause I'm writing this at work laughs nervously and looks around)!
PS. you get to meet a new character in this one... hope you like her. Once I get my webpage up, you'll be able to see a pic of her.
Flying purple monkeys of doom!
Chapter 2
"Absolutely not!" Amara shouted, slamming the letter on the coffee table. "You are not going!"
"We didn't come here to ask permission." Serena replied, taking the letter from the table. She gently folded it and placed it back in her purse before looking up to Amara. Some how she knew the Outer Soldiers would throw a fit at the news. They always had something to say about her decisions, and it was high time they started listening to her for once.
"Then why did you come?" Michelle asked in a softer tone. Serena's cerullean eyes met Michelle's aqua orbs and held them; defiant.
"To let you know that the five of us were leaving. IF you want to join us..."
"You don't even know where their planet is!" Amara yelled.
"We don't have to know." Mina said, standing up from her spot on the couch. "With a Sailor Teleport, all we have to do is picture one of the Starlights in our heads and POOF! we're there."
"Sounds more like a one-way ticket to disaster." Trista, the most level-headed of the Outers, whispered.
"Oh, no!" Ami spoke up. "We've done it quite a few times before and we always arived unscathed."
"Those were always short jumps; nothing across galaxies like you're planning." Trista argued.
"We can do it!" Serena exclaimed defiantly.
"You're not going!" Amara shouted again. "The planet will be too vunerable if you go!"
"And the four of us can't protect it by ourselves." Michelle added to Amara's argument.
"Then maybe we can help." A new presence in the room spoke up, suprising the Earth Soldiers. A young woman stepped from the hallway into the living room. She had long onyx hair tied in a low ponytail and long violet bangs hiding her amethyst eyes. She was dressed in the same black leather Sailor Suit as the Starlights, a feature that left the Earth soldiers dumbstrck.
"Just who the hell are you and how did you get in here?" Amara snapped, stepping menicingly towards the mysterious Starlight. The Starlight smirked, but didn't back down from Amara's threat.
"I am Shazza Hoshino, better known as Sailor Star Greiver. Lady Star Fighter sent me... and I know how to pick locks." Star Greiver answered in a low, accented voice. She tossed Amara a small piece of wire and winked.
"Seiya sent you?" Serena asked, stepping closer to the new Starlight. Griever's eyes moved to the Moon Princess and she smiled. Her Sailor Suit started to shimmer and then faded away leaving Shazza clad in black leather pants and a black tank top.
"Did you get the letter Lady Fighter sent you?" Shazza asked, scanning the faces in the room.
"Yes." Mina answered. Shazza's eyes paused on her for a moment after she spoke. Mina shivered in responce to her roaming eyes.
"Then you know that she's invited you to her forced wedding as well as Kakyuu-hime's. If you want to attend, which I'm assuming, is what you were arguing about, I have three other highly trained Starlights with me..."
"And just how many Starlights are there?" Amara asked, looking to the hallway to see if anyone was there. Shadows, no Starlights.
Shazza laughed. "They are not here with me, but our numbers currently total 200 Starlights."
"Two hundred!" The Earth Soldiers exclaimed in suprise. Shazza sighed, a smile playing across her lips.
"Yes. If you want their names, ask Lady Fighter as she has the list memorized. She also sent the four of us here in case you wanted to attend the weddings. We can help you protect your planet while you are away for the ceremonies."
"Oh hell no!" Amara shouted. Shazza's amethyst eyes snapped to the Outer Soldier. "Nobody is going anywhere! And even if we were, how do we know we can trust you?"
"Ah, you must be Uranus. Lady Fighter said you'd be a bitch." Shazza smirked at Amara's suprise. "If you don't want to trust me, that's fine. However, the decision to go lies with your princess, not you."
Amara's jaw dropped; speachless. Shazza laughed and turned her attention to the Moon Princess. Serena was in awe of the new Starlight's additude. She seemed to be awaiting an answer. "I want to see Seiya again and give her support in her forced wedding... so do some of my friends here. If you could help protect our planet while we're away, I'd really appreciate it."
"It would be my honor to serve the Senshi that returned my Star Seed." Shazza bowed. Serena blushed. "So how many of you will be leaving for Kinmoku?"
"Just five." Mina answered. "Serena, Ami, Raye, Lita, and myself are going... unless any of the others want to go."
"Why should we?" Amara mumbled, turning away. She sat down between Michelle and Trista to sulk. Shazza cast her eyes to each Outer Soldier for a second before returning her gaze to Serena.
"Do you have a way of getting to Kinmoku?"
Serena nodded. "Sailor Teleport." Shazza winced at the answer.
"No wonder you guys are so issolated. Teleportation won't even get you to the fourth planet in your system; it's too weak." Shazza explained. "Maybe Lady Fighter can arange some training for you so that you can learn to dematerialize and travel as light. Until that time, Raider, Singer, Dancer and I can get you to Kinmoku."
"Can the four of you get all five of us there at the same time?" Ami asked, speaking up for the first time since the Starlight appeared. Shazza smirked.
"Of course. We're all well trained and stronger than we look."
"Then what are we wating for, let's go!" Mina exclaimed. Shazza shook her head in disbelief.
"Hold on a second, Mina." Serena said, bursting her friend's bubble. "We need to pack some belongings... clothes, toiletries, life's little necessities."
Shazza started laughing, causing Serena and the Inners to look at her. "So eager to see our world that you almost forgot to pack. In that case, the others and I can meet you somewhere to take you to Kinmoku."
"Thank you, Shazza." Serena smiled. "Can you give us two hours to get packed and then meet us back here?"
"No problem. I'll just go and get the others and return here with them. I shall await your return." Shazza bowed to the Moon Princess and turned to leave. The inner soldiers followed her out the front door of the Outer's mansion. They watched as she transformed back into Star Griever and disappear into the setting sun. The Inner soldiers dispersed to pack thier belongings with the promise to return in two hours.
Author's Note: yeah, it's a bit shorter than the first chapter, but I have writer's block. I'll introduce you to the other Starlights in the next chapter. :P Anyway, please R/R/F!
