Chapter 23: Where is Star?
Luffy, Zoro and Ace arrived on the Thousand Sunny.
"Have you seen Star?" asked Luffy.
"No why?" asked Nami.
"She ran away." Said Ace.
"What? Why?" asked Vivi.
"Maybe it has to with her nightmares." Said Robin joining the conversation.
"Nightmares?" asked Luffy.
"She has nightmares every night." Said Nami.
"What about?" asked Luffy.
"I think I remember hearing about that." Said Ace.
"She'll probably come back." said Luffy, "Let's not worry about it for now."
"You'll wait a couple days until you're going to drag her back here. Aren't you?" asked Nami.
"Of course I am." Said Luffy.
This made everyone sweat drop.
Unfortunately that night Star didn't return.
The next day in Naruto's mansion. There was a Senshi meeting.
"Why didn't you tell that would happen to people turned into these monsters?" asked Naruto.
"I didn't want to worry you." Said Setsuna.
"We do always heal them in time." Said Kousagi, "So it's fine."
"What about those three woman?" asked Ritchie.
"They're the mothers of the trio." Said Setsuna.
"They did something about having children." Said Mousse.
"That must be them." Said Setsuna, "I should have known."
"Wait…" said Ritchie, "What about Star?"
"I know where she is." Said Setsuna, "But I think it would be best if we leave her alone for a few days."
"What happened in the past?" asked Kousagi.
"Something called a Star Seed belonging to someone named Princess Kakyuu shattered and she claims herself for it." Said Lee.
"Is that true?" asked Kousagi.
"It is" said Setsuna.
Kousagi looked down… it was just so sad to hear.
In a random forest, Star was looking up to the sky.
"What do I do?" she thought, she sighed then she remember something, "I shouldn't have ran away. Luffy's going to drag me back eventually..."
Star sighed, "Well he can't find me." She said then she remember, "Oh yeah… Setsuna…"
Star began to pout, "I just hope that they don't come after me soon." She muttered.
Meanwhile in the Mysterious HQ of the Realms.
"So… Galaxia ran away." Said the leader who was the Lord of Realms.
"That's right." Said Sora.
"Play it cool for now." Said the Lord of Realms, "We don't know if she'll return any time soon or not."
"But… she joined the Straw Hat crew." Pointed out Oceania.
There was an awkward silence in the chamber.
"We will still wait it out." Said the Lord of Realms, "However I do believe it is time to do one of the big guns…"
"I will go after someone I wanted to go after for a while." Said Terre, "Cologne."
At the Cat Café, Cologne got a bad feeling.
"Great Grandmother?" asked Shampoo.
"I'm fine." Lied Cologne.
Sometime later, at the Tendo Dojo. Kasumi was looking around for something. She went into the living room where Ranma and Akane were watching TV.
"Have you seen Kousagi?" asked Kasumi.
"No." said Akane.
"I haven't seen her since the meeting." Said Ranma.
That was when Kousagi showed up.
"Were you looking for me?" asked Kousagi.
"I was worried." Said Kasumi, "But you're fine."
"Okay." Said Kousagi running off.
Kousagi went into her and Kasumi's shared bedroom. She took out a small red gem out of her pocket. She held it close to her heart and began to glow pink.
"I can only do this once a day… I'm sorry." Thought Kousagi.
The red gem began to glow as well.
At the cat café, It was the usual… Mousse was trying to ask Shampoo on a date.
"Please Shampoo." Begged Mousse.
"No…" said Shampoo.
That was when Cologne sensed something outside.
"Mousse… I need you to come outside with me." Said Cologne.
The left the Cat Café…
"So you were able to sense me." Said Terre, "You are one of the greats after all."
Mousse took out his communicator.
"Terre is about to attack! He's going after Cologne." Said Mousse.
That one sentence made anyone who had seen Cologne in action think, "Oh… crap."
With Star she froze.
"Should I go help them?" she thought.
Back with Mousse, Terre used his Crystal on Cologne. Turning her into a powerful one at that.
"There is no way you can beat her." Said Terre.
"Maker Star Power! Make–up!"
With that Mousse Transformed into Sailor Star Maker.
That was when the other Senshi minus Galaxia showed up.
"All right! Let them have it!" shouted Terre.
The Cologne Monster produced a staff. She hit both Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Pallas with it.
"The truth of the matter is that none of you are even close to Cologne when it comes to in power… there's no way you can win." Said Terre with an evil smile.
Meanwhile with Star, she was watching the clouds go by.
"What do I do?" asked Star.
As she watched the clouds go by.
"Wait! Why am I worried about that!" she realized, "I need to be stop being angsty about this! I have to help them! I'm thousands of years old!"
She looked at her bracelets, "I think it's time I share something with her." She said.
Back with the battle with the Cologne Monster. The cologne monster would smack around the Senshi.
"You're a hundred years too early to beat her." Laughed Terre.
The Cologne Monster was about to hit Sailor Mercury when Sailor Pluto stopped the staff with the Garnet Rod.
"Well most of us anyway." Said Sailor Pluto.
She pushed back the Cologne Monster.
"Garnet Rod Wave!"
The attack hit her but didn't seem to faze the old woman turned monster.
She was about to strike back but Sailor Pluto blocked it
"Looks like you could use a little help." Said a voice.
They saw it was Sailor Galaxia. She created a golden staff and joined the fight.
"I decided to screw being Emo about my past… after all who am I Sasuke?" asked Sailor Galaxia.
"Galactic Energy Pulse!"
The attack hit the Cologne Monster. It didn't faze her, she instead tried to attack Sailor Galaxia, who blocked with her staff.
"All right Setsuna! Switch with me!" said Sailor Galaxia.
Sailor Pluto nodded, she attack the Cologne monster from behind, so she turned her attention on Sailor Pluto.
"Ash, Kousagi. Are you okay to fight?" asked Sailor Galaxia.
The two nodded.
"You want to pool our healing?" asked Sailor Cosmos Moon.
"That's right." Said Sailor Galaxia.
"Let's do it." Said Neo Sailor Moon.
"Moonlight Crystal Drop Healing!"
"Cosmos Crystal Drop Healing!"
"Galaxia Crystal Drop Healing!"
All three healing waves hit the Cologne monster healing back into the ghoul like old woman she was before.
"Damn it…" muttered Terre who disappeared.
After they all detransformed, Star got to saying something.
"Sorry… for running away." Said Star, "Maybe now that it's more than likely that you all know what happened… that I can finally heal."
"You've been alone for too long." Said Setsuna, "I know what it feels like, to be alone for that long…"
"I know…" said Star, "At least I have you guys and I don't want to be like Sasuke."
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Sasuke.
"I'd rather not go into details." Said Star.
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Sasuke glaring at her.
"Figure it out for yourself." Said Star, "I'm going back to the ship to tell everyone else."
Before she left she smiled, "Oh yeah, I'm going to fix the time portals tomorrow. That joke's getting too old."
That was when everyone stared at her.
"You have the ability to fix the time portals?" asked Naruto.
"Yes." Answered Star knowing they were going to tell at.
"Why didn't you do it when you joined!" yelled the Senshi minus the Star Lights, Kousagi and Setsuna.
"Ooops?" asked Star.
They are glared at her.
"Later!" said Star cheerfully as she left.
"Get back here!" yelled Naruto.
As they were planning something to get back at Star, Kousagi looked up at Setsuna who smiled back.
Everything with Star was going to be all right from now on.
