All right! SuperS! This episode might suck a little because it might have to do with love stuff and I'm not used to it. I'm more like the action type. Maybe that's why I have more shonen manga...heh heh. Anyway, heat's gettin' to me. "The sun's beating down like a drunk dad", or at least that's what my friend, cute.sadistic.chibi says. My draft for the entire story is done, including part 2. So now all that's left is to write it out. Here we go!!
Disclaimer: Me no own Sailor Moon. In my dreams probably. If only dreams can become reality...
Episode: A Master's Dream
The night was beautiful at the lake. Stars were shining, crickets were chirping, and the moon glowed with absolute radiance. Everything was...peaceful.
She looked up at the sky with her big red eyes. Her pigtails flowed with the wind as she stretched out on the ground. Nothing waas there, yet she didn't leave. She was waiting for someone...or something.
Ripples of water flowed as it descended from the heavens. Its wings flapped majestically while hovering above the lake. She sat upright as the creature looked at her, its horn glowing in the moonlight.
"Greetings...Small Lady."
Her eyes fluttered as she slowly began to stir. Staying up at Game Crown wasn't particularly smart. But Anna Onodera was recently slacking during her monthly pay. Aoshi still had to prepare for the future dojo, thuhs all payments were still depending on her.
Anna "...Damn."
Anna ruffled her hair as she tried to get up. She staggered to the closet, but stopped halfway. Anna glanced over to the wall and walked over. Her head rested softly on the wallpaper and became relaxed. She felt like dozing off again.
But Aoshi helped her out of her uncomfortable position. He opened the door to come upon Anna's current state.
Aoshi "Anna?"
Anna "...Schnerb."
Aoshi supposed that she was still exhausted. She was lucky that he came by Game Crown to bring her home. He walked over with a little chuckle.
Aoshi "Why don't you rest a little longer?"
Her head slightly tilted so she could get a view of him. His ice blue eyes weren't as cold as usual. Unlike her purple hair, Aoshi's black hair was neatly combed, but slightly tuffed to look better. He was relatively taller than Anna, although she was still growing herself.
Anna "...Can't..."
She turned her face back to the wall.
Anna "Miss Haruna will kill me...instead of Serena..."
Aoshi's face turned indifferent.
Aoshi "You DO know today's Saturday, right?"
Anna's eyes snapped wide open.
Anna (SATURDAY!!??)
Her stomach lurched from shock. The mind was jumbled with confusion. Anna turned pale as she slowly sank to the floor. She sulked with disbelief.
Anna (What is wrong with the world today?)
Aoshi grabbed her arms and pulled her up to her feet. He brought Anna close and laid her on his chest, while she felt easier to lean on him. She rested her head on his shoulder, trying to calm down.
Aoshi "We were planning on going to the shrine today. Do you still want to go?"
Anna "Hmm? Oh...yeah."
She staggered to the closet with her eyes closed. It seemed wierd when she suddenly closed the door behind her, leaving herseld in the closet.
Anna "...Where's the toilet?"
Aoshi (Wow, she's really out of it.)
After making sure she was fully prepared, they received a call from Darien. Apparently, he needed an extra set of arms for his 'other world' project. Aoshi gladly volunteered, leaving Anna to go to the temple alone.
Anna "It's fine. No worried here."
Once they departed, Anna made her way to Cherry Hill Temple, where everyone else seemed to be.
Lita "Anna."
Anna "Hey. How is...every...one...?"
She looked over to the front porch. Eyes closed, little drool, and quiet snoring, Serena didn't notice Anna's arrival.
Anna "And I thought I had trouble this morning."
Raye "She said she couldn't sleep last night."
Amy "Serena had trouble just walking up the steps."
Mina "EVERYONE has trouble walking up those."
From behind them, Rini made her way to the middle of the group.
Rini "I guess it's my fault."
Girls "Huh?"
Rini "I had a wierd dream last night. I kept tossing and turning in the attic."
Amy "Really? What happened?"
Rini "Well, I was at this one lake in the middle of the woods. I'm looking up and then..."
"COMING THROUGH!!"
Appearing from the hallway of the temple, Chad sped up with a cloth in one hand and a filled bucket in the other. He placed the bucket of water behind Serena and began scrubbing the porch.
Raye "Chad! Slow down a bit!"
But he kept going.
Lita "Calm down, Raye. He's just trying to speed things up."
Anna "Yeah, to get things quicker."
Raye placed her hands on her hips and sighed.
Raye "Bu every time he tries, Chad screws up badly. And Grandpa and I have to pay for it."
Amy "Like how?"
Chad "Almost done!"
As he came up closer to the bucket, Chad reached out to get some more water. But he began sliding on the porch, unable to stop himself.
Chad "Woah!"
He came closer and closer to the bucket...and Serena.
Mina "Watch out!"
Rini "Move, Serena!"
Serena was too sleepy to even respond. Chad's hand grazed to bucket as it tipped over and splashed Serena's backside.
Serena "AAH!!"
Ice freezing water soaked her clothes as she jumped up with shock and bitter cold.
Girls (Wow, that's a wake up call.)
Raye covered her eyes from embarrassment. Serena jumped around frantically while the others gave chase to cool her down.
Chad "I'm sorry! It won't happen again!"
Raye's eyes turned angry and cold. She looked up from her hand and glared at Chad. So much frustration was pent up inside her, Raye felt like bursting out. Too bad it was so caustic.
Raye "Would you quit it!?"
Everyone stopped and looked at Raye. Her eyes shot through Chad as if he was being stabbed.
Raye "Stop being such an imbecile and get a life!"
She turned and ran down the shrine steps with absolute shame. Everyone stared as Raye abandoned the shrine, her friends, and her apprentice.
Lita "Raye..."
Mina "Why did her gasket blow?"
Amy came out of Raye's house with a towel and wrapped it around Serena.
Serena "Ooh...you did it this time, Chad."
After everything that happened, how was Raye able to put up with Chad for so long? Anna thought for a while. Something was amiss, so she walked up to Chad.
Anna "Hey, Chad? Why did you come here in the first place? Being an apprentice doesn't seem like your style."
Chad combed through his hair with his fingers.
Chad "Well, at first, I wanted to start a band and stuff. But after working here for a while, I began to understand the ethics of a shrine. It's cool...relaxing."
Amy "And so you changed your mind?"
Chad "Yeah. And then when I heard that the shrine was gonna turn into a dojo, I wanted to try to prove myself to Raye. I wanna be someone better than who I was before. That's my dream: to be someone stronger, better, and someone worthy enough for her to accept."
Lita "Interesting."
Mina placed her hand on Chad's shoulder.
Mina "Don't worry. You'll prove yourself. And Raye's gonna be chasing after you before you know it."
Chad "Yeah...but how can I prove-"
"Excuse me."
At the front of the temple, a man with spiky purple hair waited with a smile. His red eyes looked too happy to be average.
Man "I couldn't help but overhear that this temple is to be a dojo soon."
Anna "You heard correctly."
Man "Hmmm. I'm a live-in apprentice at another dojo in a town not far from here. May I test your skills and style?"
Chad "Oh. The master to the dojo..."
Serena "Will be ready in a few minutes!"
Everyone looked questioningly at her. What was she talking about???
Serena motioned everyone except for Chad to circle around her.
Serena "Chad can pose as the master. If we can get Raye to come back while he fights the man, she'll see Chad proving himself!"
Anna "It's worth a shot. Come on."
They turned back to the boys. Mina whimsically waved her hand.
Mina "We'll be back in a moment. Just wait a sec."
The girls ran past them and ran down the steps to find Raye. Chad looked at the strange newcomer with unease. Something about him was not right...
Man "Now then..."
The man looked up and smirked.
Man "Shall we begin?"
Rini "Raye!"
She turned as she saw her friends come up with hopeful faces. Raye hoped they weren't going to lecture her.
Raye "Hey. Sorry, I just got steamed at Chad, and..."
Lita "He's fighting someone right now."
Raye's expression changed. Her face lit up a bit, and they could tell. For once, she saw something in Chad that was worth liking.
Raye "Really...? Who?"
Serena "Someone from another dojo. Now, hurry up!"
They ran back to the temple, sensing Raye's eagerness. But then Anna suddenly felt a sinister aura toward the temple. She unknowingly picked up her pace and got to the temple first.
A tapestry covered the man for a quick second and revealed the man in a new ensemble. He wore a toga that wrapped aound his chestplate and left shoulder. Wearing a loincloth, the man's legs were covered with stockings and led to elfish shoes.
Chad "Hey. What's going on?"
Man "1..."
A red board appeared right behind Chad. He almost jumped from fright until he had the inability to.
Man "2..."
Cuffs appeared at Chad's wrists and ankles. He struggled to break loose, but the cuffs held him tight. All Chad could do was wait for the man the finish the counting.
Man "3!!"
But Chad didn't expect to feel excruciating pain. He screamed aloud as the pain flowed to his chest. A flash came to his face and turned into a pink mirror. It glowed with purity as Chad's head slowly dropped. He twitched to prove his consciousness.
Man "Heh heh...I'm just gonna have a little peek at your dreams."
The man walked up and placed his hands on the mirror. Without any warning, he plunged his head into the mirror. He glass didn't shatter; it was as if his head was being teleported to another dimension. Light shined out as he desecrated the mirror.
Chad felt more pain and yelped in torture. Then he thought of Raye, the shrine, and swordsmanship. He hoped to at least become a novice. Hopefully, Chad would have been good enough for Raye to admire him. That was his dream...but now it was being abused by anonymous imposter.
Raye and the others raced upstairs when their hopes dropped to sadness. Anna tried to block Raye's line of sight from the horror, but it was too late. They had no idea what they saw, but each and every one of them felt that it was no good.
Raye "Ch...Chad?"
Serena knew that it was no time to gawk. When she removed her brooch from her chest, everyone knew what to do. Rini took out her own locket as the older girls revealed wands.
"MOON COSMIC POWER!!"
"MINI PRISM POWER!!"
"SCOUT STAR POWER!!"
Ribbons and hearts wrapped around Serena's body to transform her into the champion of love and justice. Rini had pink hearts surround her to become the diminutive form of the leader. Amy's wand spewed a stream of water that made her the scout of water and intelligence. Raye had rings of fire to turn her into the scout of flame and passion. Lita summoned bolts of lightning to come down and bring forth the scout of thunder and courage. Mina's stream of hearts presented her as the scout of love and beauty. Anna maipulated the spheres to change into the scout of space and virtue.
Moon "That's rude!"
The man stuck his head out of the mirror and saw his adversaries behind him. Seven girls in sailor suits glared at him; one girl in red looked upon him menacingly.
Mini "We work hard to protect innocents and right wrongs!"
Jupiter "Cause we're the sailor scouts!"
Galaxy "And we stand for love and justice!"
Scouts "And we shall punish you!!"
But the man only smirked. He took out a match stick and placed it close to his mouth. With just one blow, fire spewed from the stick and traveled to the team.
Mars "Watch out!"
Rather than colliding with the team directly, the fire circled around them, encasing the scouts in a ring of flames. The heat was beating down on them.
Venus "It's too hot!"
Mercury "Leave it to me!!"
"SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!!"
Scientifically, water should overcome flames. But Mercury's liquid didn't even create an opening.
Mini "Oh, no!"
Mars "Chad!!"
Sailor Mars looked at Chad's form sorrowfully. She didn't want to leave him thinking that she hated him. Mars thought of all his attempts to fulfill his dream.
Mars "Someone save him!!"
Suddenly, a light shined from up above. Everyone looked and heard a slight whinny. With its wings flapping, a unicorn fell from the heavens and swooped down. The scouts watched in awe, but remembered to avoid the fire.
Man "Pegasus...you DO exist."
Galaxy (Pegasus...?)
The horn on Pegasus' forehead shined at the team. They shieled their eyes from the blinding light. As the light casted down upon them, they felt the heat slowly ebbing away. The scouts opened their eyes to see that the fire disappeared.
Moon "Hey!"
Jupiter "Thanks...Mr. Horse."
Man "Hehe...so, Pegasus, you've finally revealed yourself. And as part of the mission, I, Hawk's Eye, will capture you!"
Mars "Stop right there!"
"MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND!!"
"VENUS CRESCENT BEAM SMASH!!"
Hawk's Eye began panicking as the attacks sped towards him. But at the last second, Hawk's Eye flipped into the air and created a gust portal. He jumped through, disappearing from the scene.
Galaxy "That wierdo's gone."
Mini "Pegasus!"
The team looked towards Mini Moon, who stared up into the sky. The flying stallion was nowhere to be seen. It seemed she was acquainted with the divine savior.
Moon "Mini Moon, you know him?"
Sailor Mini Moon looked back at them and chuckled nervously.
Mini "Uh, no. Not really."
The girls became suspicious, but then they noticed that Sailor Mars changed back to normal clothes. The mirror in front of Chad disappeared as he fell to the ground. Raye ran up and helped him to his feet as he stirred.
Raye "Are you okay?"
Chad became surprised with her gentle tone. He looked at her with a smile.
Chad "Guess so. Thanks for your concern."
Raye slightly blushed, but didn't turn away. She decided to accept Chad for who he was.
The girls watched from a distance with some lingering thoughts. Who exactly was Hawk's Eye? What was the mirror's purpose? And, more importantly, why did 'Pegasus' come?
Whee! Finals are at school right now, and I'm struggling. GAAH!! But this super-big project in Geometry is almost done! YAY ME!! I'm slowly learning more about romance, but if it still sucks, BEAR WITH ME! There's gonna be a lot of romance in part 2.
Next time on Sailor Galaxy Chronicles:
Man "Just sing by yourself for now."
Mina (That's what I hate: being solo.)
Mars "Some new power is coursing through my body."
Pegasus "Be careful with these new powers."
Galaxy (Could power be...corruptive?)
"Schnerb"...that's my friend's word. He makes random words funny. XD
