I was just about ready to leave when a sudden voice took me off-guard from behind.
"It seems you have your senses back finally." A woman in a low cut dress, somewhere between white to off-white in color addressed me.
How in the hell? Where did she come from? "Who... Who are you?" I narrowed my eyes quickly getting defensive. I had no idea where I was or who this person before me was.
"That appears to be the question of the moment, doesn't it Starlight?" She knew I was a Starlight. "The question is not who am I, but who are you?"
"I asked you first." I kept my stance firm. There was a familiar aura about her but I couldn't place it for the life of me.
"Who I am does not matter. Are you aware of where you are?"
Where I am... This place seemed all too familiar. It was like Kinmokusei, but not. There was a lake, grass, and strange pink and white flower petals raining from the trees. I wasn't sure if I should answer her or not but it couldn't hurt, right? "Vaguely. Now if you're not going to tell me who you are at least tell me what you want."
"Nothing really. I was just a bystander when you collapsed. You were unconscious for quite a while."
"Do you know what happened? What made me pass out so suddenly?"
"My guess is as good as your own."
"Great, so you don't know either." I let out a sigh. "I better get going then."
"Might I suggest a different attire before you go waltzing around this place?"
"What's wrong with the clothes I have on now?"
"Just because you are a Sailor Soldier, does not mean you go around announcing it to the world, especially in the likes of this one."
"Why not? Everyone knows who I am here."
"Really." It was neither a question nor a reply. "Starlight, let me clarify something for you. You are no longer on your home planet of, Kinmokusei. In case you are completely unaware, you are on a rural planet in a neighboring galaxy called Earth." She advanced closer.
"Earth?" I had but only heard of this place. It was a place similar to my home planet, yet not. "Why would I be on Earth?"
"You don't remember, do you?" She stopped mere inches away.
"Remember what?" I didn't once back down from her.
"We have a mutual contract you and I. I came to check on your progress but you shortly collapsed after my arrival."
"Wait, my progress? Progress in what?"
"Your mission."
"Mission?"
"You must return to your fellow Starlights and draw out Princess Kakyuu." Her voice was dark as she thrust her hand into my chest.
A great pain surged inside my chest as I felt as if my heart was going to be cut in two. Her hand retracted holding a brilliant crystal. I looked down in horror seeing my entire chest ripped open in front of me. I had little time to react before my body shortly collapsed. I felt a great energy surround me as my eyes shot open. My eyes drifted down to my chest seeing everything perfectly normal... Everything except for my wrists. There upon each was a golden bracelet with elaborate gem stones placed in each. I felt my figure rise to one knee as I lowered my head involuntarily. It was then I recalled why I was here. I had a mission and that was to draw out Princess Kakyuu and bring her to...
"Galaxia-sama." Where that name came from I had no idea. It was as if another being was controlling my every move. I made sure to keep my view on her. She stood with a sinister smile as she held the shining crystal in her hand. Her former attire was replaced with a golden Sailor Soldier uniform with an elaborate head piece.
"You will need an alias here, Starlight. Find a suitable attire to keep your identity a secret."
"Yes." My eyes lowered as I bowed my head down further.
"You must quickly find her and bring her to me. Go!" She held up a hand and the surrounding began to distort.
When it was over I was immediately transported to a nearby café where a male with long white hair was seated next to another taller male with long brown hair.
'Find a suitable attire to keep your identity a secret.'
Her voice rang into my head as if another force was controlling me. I focused on the two males feeling a new attire take place of my Sailor Soldier uniform. Instead of the low-cut leather Starlight outfit, I now bore a suit just like the two men except different in color. I walked in.
"I feel it. The light of another star just went out. I sense something terrible happened to--" The white haired male stopped in mid-sentence looking to me with a look of horror. The brown haired male looked over as well bearing a perplexed expression.
"S-Seiya?" The shorter male stammered a bit.
I looked around seeing no one else around. My gaze shifted back to him. "Me?"
"Who else would I be talking to??" His tone was slightly annoyed.
'You will need an alias here, Starlight.' That voice rang inside my head again. "Oh... right."
"How-How is this possible you're here??" The shorter male continued.
"Why wouldn't I be here?" I gave a perplexed expression to him.
"Seiya, is everything okay?" The brown haired male spoke up.
'You must return to your fellow Starlights and draw out Princess Kakyuu.' My fellow Starlights... Were these two men before me... "...Healer? ...Maker?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Duh!" The white haired male rolled his eyes. "Seiya, what the hell happened to you? Did you get hit on the head?"
"Calm down, Yaten. I'm sure there's a reason for this." The taller male tried to reason with the shorter one.
So Healer was Yaten. I shook my head. "I just need some rest is all. Everything is fine." I wasn't sure how exactly I was going to fulfill my 'mission', but I could already tell this was going to be a long 'visit' here.
