Chapter 6
Nessa and Holden were up late talking that night. The two fell asleep on the couch in the living room, Nessa's head resting on his shoulder. Usagi checked on the three of them before going upstairs.
"Did everyone but the three hear her and what she said?" Usagi started off. They all nodded.
"Should we team up with Meteor? She did save our lives, two times now. She probably knew that it was at the cost of her own health." Minako suggested. She had seen the determine on Meteor's face the first time she healed them.
"I agree. She might have intels on the two Princess and their lovers as well." Ami said thoughtfully. Their meeting was interruted by a scream. They transformed and ran downstairs.
Nessa bit her lips to stop her tears. Sailor Nebula and Prince Asteroid blocked off the enemy's attack, trying their best not to destroy the house.
Nessa stared at her arm in horror and looked to the senshi whose running toward her.
"Nessa! What happened?" Moon asked, looking at the arrow, sticking out of the sofa behind them, and Nessa's bleeding arm. Nessa gritted her teeth and tried not to show her pain, but failed horribly.
"I told Roni and Holden to run. She shot me with an arrow. The arrow missed but had poison on it." Nessa said, staring at the wound. It was slowly turning a sickly green color.
"My god, one of the only times that we need Meteor and she's not here." Nebula shouted, giving Meteor somewhat of a allibi.
"You two, we will try to hold off on these creatures, get the girl to Meteor!" Moon shouted. One of the creatures that was about to shoot another arrow snapped her fingers and the wolf-creatures around her froze.
"There's no need. The poison will get to her in the matters of seconds. And I, the Alpha, shall be responsible for that. Can you hear me, Mistress-sama? I have already gotten rid of one of the nuisances that stands in the way of our victory." She shouted. Asteroid, out of all the mess, wondered if she was still sane.
"Alpha, reverse that spell right now." The Mistress yelled, She almost seemed panicked, if anything, hearing that Nessa was about to die. Alpha was beyound confused.
"But why?" Alpha replied. Then, the mistress seemed to talk to Alpha in her head. Alpha panicked once she learned th truth.
"Reverser!" She yelled, a streak of light red hits Nessa's arm and it wiped the wound away like it was never there in the first place! Nessa moved her arm, not believing her eyes.
"Nessa, quick, hide upstairs." Moon whispered into her ears.
"Mars, flame sniper!" Mars yelled, distracting the wolves and Alpha as Nessa raced upstairs. Once there, she grabbed a air freshner spray and covered herself in it and sprayed a large amount of it in the room. She then purposely opened the whole thing and throw it down the stairs. Smell can distract the wolves' noses.
She frowned. It was already 11 pm. They probably woke the whole block already. Well, at least Alpha's scream did. She did not understand that woman. Why scream if you're not the one getting hurt?
She quickly transformed and joined the others downstairs. She crept as quietly as possible, her back to the wall. She made a 'x' to the senshi when she reached them, hinting them to not say anything.
When she reached right behind Alpha, she eyed Nebula and nodded. She nodded back.
"Star Meteor Garden!" Meteor sent her attack.
"Black Dream Hole!" Nebula yelled. A black star shot toward Alpha and consumed her whole for a second. Then, she screamed, again, and turned away from the battle scene. She needed more health, she can't die yet. She, was the Alpha, the woman with lengendary sniper skills. The top of her class from archery skill, and can see premotions. She was MARS, although Mistress haven't explained to her why, but she was a member of a family. For that family, she won't lose here tonight.
"Fire smoke!" She yelled. The whole room was immediately covered in smoke. She fled with the wolves and back to the hideout.
Everyone coughed and dropped to their knees. The fire alarm would soon go off. Moon needed to get this smoke out before she loses conscious, or before the fire department arrives. She panicked a bit and coughed violently before she crawled toward a window then opened it, releasing the smoke inside. She took a deep breath of fresh air and waited, more calmly now, for the smoke to disappear.
When the smoke disappeared, Meteor, Nebula, and Asteroid were gone. She looked around. The house was a mess. The furnitures now had a gray coat of smoke on them leftover from the attack Alpha sent. Arrows sent by Alpha shot out of everywhere. Moon sighed.
"If only there was a way to clean everything up. But without me doing it!" She grumbled lazily. A new voice broke her out of her thoughts
"Maybe there is. Sourire de l'ange." And in flash of bright light, everything was set back to normal.
"An angel from another world. A senshi protected by the heavens. The leader senshi of stars, Sailor Angel, have arrived!" The new voice claimed. She had silver hair with a white and gold fuku. Everything about her screamed elegant. Moon and Angel's eyes met before she disappeared into thin air. Everyone remained silent for a moment, before loud and fast footsteps were heard and everyone turned toward Nessa and Holden. Their hair was a mess and they looked flushed. What the heck happened up there?
"I tripped over Usagi-chan's coffee table and fell on top of him when I tried to get downstairs." Nessa said, noticing the stares. She heard Roni's snickering from upstairs and looked around. She heard her voice. She heard Sailor Angel, there was no mistaking it. But where is she?
"Was there someone here? Other then the enemy?" Holden said, his eyes darted around the room. He had thought he heard Sailor Angel as well, or at least he heard someone...
"No," Pluto lied, although she knew that the two heard Angel introduce herself. "No one was here, we have to get going now." She said. The group headed out the door. Nessa felt dizzy. Why did she know the name from somewhere before? Why did she know that Sailor Angel's civilian name was Tenshi Sakura, the very same woman that had been on the news tonight? Of course she does. She couldn't possibly forget that day. It was one of the best days of her life.
