Thursday November 10th 1977 12:09 P.M. Serena just got done washing some clothes as she walks into the kitchen to see Altiar cooking something. She watches for a few seconds as Altiar try's his hardest to make something. Altiar had several spices in front of him as he tries to make some kind of soup.
Altiar picks up a paper and starts to read it to himself. "A pinch of paprika…" Altiar said quietly as he stands there for a second. "A pinch?" He says as he takes a pinch of a spice and puts it into the soup. Serena lets out a small giggle as she walks over to him. "What are you doing?"
"Oh, Miss Serena." Altiar said turning to face her. "I didn't hear you." He said smiling at her. "I'm just trying to make some soup for you. I thought it might lift your spirits after what has been going on the last few days." Altiar said putting another pinch into the soup. Serena smiled and walked over. She grabbed a spoon off the counter as she puts it into the soup and takes a sip. "Well, spirits lifted." Serena said looking at Altiar.
"Although, I don't think you know what a pinch means." Serena said letting out a small giggle. "Well in my defense, I haven't actually ever cooked something before, so…" Altiar said looking over the paper some more. Serena lets out a small laugh as a certain group of girls started to watch from the stairs.
"What's going on?" Amy said whispering. "Shhhh…" Lita said. "Look." Mina said pointing around the corner. They all watched and listened as Serena and Altiar started to make small talk.
"May I try?" Serena said. "Oh, of course." Altiar said moving over a little. "It's funny, the way you try to cook reminds of my husband." Serena said grabbing more spices off of the counter. Altiar said nothing and looked away. "You know, I have never seen you without your hood on."
Serena said pouring a little water into the soup. "Is there a reason for that?" Altiar didn't say anything at first as he leaned against the counter. "I used to think of myself one way…but after my parents died, I became something else, something else I didn't fully understand." Altiar said as Serena listened. "I'm still me I think, but…I'm not sure I would like that which I have become…"
Serena stopped for a second before pulling out her talisman "Do you know, I don't know what this is?" She said looking down at it. "Not really…I know that its not of this world…that it has the power to destroy army's. and yet, its true nature remains a mystery to me and yet…it is a part of me." Serena said not moving.
"Are you afraid of it?" Altiar said looking down at her. "I only wish to understand it." Serena said putting it back into her shirt. "Anyway, I'm pretty sure what's in this soup is not paprika." Serena said smiling. "I'm gonna go to the store down the street and get some more spices." Serena said turning around. Altiar moved in front of her as she stopped. "Why don't we try and cook something else?" Serena stood there with a look on her face.
"Altiar…are you not going to let me out of the house?" Altiar didn't say anything for a few seconds. "It's a matter of safety." Altiar said looking away. "I can protect myself." Serena said walking away. Altiar put his arm up as Serena walked into it. "People don't know what to think when they come across something new to them, they come up with whatever makes them feel safe. With beryl controlling the city. Normal people won't function on reason anymore. And that's a recipe of trouble…I think it would be best if you stayed here for now Miss Serena... it's what the others would want."
Serena looked up at him and in a quiet tone and said, "And what is it that you want?"
"For the world to see you…the same way as I do." Altiar said putting his hand on Serena's cheek. Serena started to blush as her heart started to beat faster. But before anything could come of this, A loud crash could be heard coming from the living room. Altiar and Serena looked to see the other girls laying in a pile on the floor. Serena let out a small giggle as she goes to help them up. Altiar stands there and lets out a small smile, thinking if he should tell her the truth of who he really was…
Thursday November 10th 1977 1:21 P.M. Walking up to an old house on the edge of town. I knocked on the door. After a few seconds. A man who was clearly drunk opened the door. "Who the hell are you?" He said taking a drink. "I'm looking for Hotaru's father." I said looking inside the house. It was a mess. "What's it to ya?" He said. "Are you aware that she has been kidnapped? I said. "Ha, I know. Not that I care." The man said taking another drink. "What do you mean?" I said in a more serious tone.
"That little brat was always a handful for me. Always having heart problems at school. Making me having to drive over there and pick her up in the middle of work."
"What is your line of work?" I said "I'm a underground sex trafficker. I sell girls to the highest bidder." I started to clutch my fist. "And you think that is more important then your daughter?" I said rising my voice a little. "Ha! Hell ya, dumb brat gets upset at me. So I whipped her back every time she talks back to me with my belt." I was grinding my teeth at this point.
"Anyway I'm glad that she's gone, now I more time to do my work, speaking of which, I need to go to, now get out of here." The man said spitting at my feet. I looked down at the spit by my feet as I take a deep breath. "Don't worry. You won't see me ever again..." I said as he turned around. "Dam righ-ughgu…" the man said looking down to see blood dripping from his chest.
He fell down and died as I retracted my blade. I looked at him on the floor before walking inside. "Rest in peace, bastard…" I said walking past him.
I started to look around. The place was a mess. There was beer bottles and weed everywhere. The place started to smell better as I walked upstairs. I saw a purple door at the end of the hall. I walked over and opened it up. Inside was a little room with a few girl things inside.
I looked around to get a feel of the place. Inside the closet where some girl clothes and shoes. I walked over to the night stand and opened the drawer. I pulled out a small purple diary. I sat on the bed and started to read it.
Tuesday October 18th 1977. "Dear diary. My father whipped me again. Just when the scars where starting to heal too. I don't know how much more I can take. The pain in my head seems to be getting worse. I'm not sure what to do anymore…"
Friday October 21st 1977 "Dear diary. My father is spending the night at some woman's house. This is the only time I can sleep peacefully, not having to worry about my father getting drunk and beating me in the dead of night. I wish every night was like this. I saw a girl at the store today, she saw me buying a few things. I was a dollar short and she gave me one. Her name was Mina. She was very nice and pretty. I hope I can be as Pretty as her when I'm her age."
Tuesday October 25th 1977 "Dear diary, I threw away my father's beer hoping he would have to go out and get drunk at the bar so I can sleep. The pain in my head is getting worse. The nightmares are still showing up. I wish I knew that they mean..."
Thursday October 27th 1977. "Dear diary. I saw a lady following me on my way back from school. I don't know if she was lost. But she seems scary. I hope I don't see her again. I felt a cold chill run up my spine as I looked back at her..."
Monday October 31st 1977 "Dear Diary. My father is at someone's house all day. So I went to the school Halloween party. It was fun. I saw this guy and girl play a song. It was the same girl from the store the other day. And that man. I've never seen him before. But he seems like a really nice guy. I hope I can meet him again someday..."
Wednesday November 2nd 1977 "Dear Diary. I had a dream that I was standing over a pile of dead body's wearing a sailor uniform. I don't know what it means. I wish they would stop. I saw that Lady again when I was walking home from school. She was parked in a black van down the street from my house. I will go tell the police tomorrow if I see her again. Mother, I wish you were still alive. I miss you so much. I still keep the gift you gave me for my birthday. I look at it before I go to bed. I know you are watching over me. I love you mother."
I closed the book as that was the last entry. I stood up as I wiped a few tears off my face. Poor Hotaru…all she wanted was to be happy and be with people who loved her. But she was abused by her father and had health problems. I looked over on the stand and saw a little locket. I picked it up and opened it. Inside was a picture of a woman holding a little girl and smiling. I put the locket in my pocket before leaving. I walked downstairs and saw the body still by the front door. I dragged the body out back and tossed it into the dumpster and put it out for the city to pick up. I locked the house before making my way back to my home, determined more than ever to save Hotaru…
Thursday November 10th 1977 3:46 P.M. Walking up to my house, I opened the door and walked in to see everyone eating or reading. "Samuel!" Lita said running over to me. Lita hugged me as everyone came over. "Welcome home Sammy." Mina said. "So what did you find out?" Michelle said. I took a deep breath. "Sit down and I'll tell you." I said in a sad tone. Everyone looked at each other before walking into the living room and sitting down.
I sat down and started to tell him what I found out about Hotaru... *Several minutes later* "Poor Hotaru…" Michelle said putting her hand up to her chest. "I can't believe some men are allowed to become fathers." Amara said grinding her teeth. "Well He can't hurt her anymore. I made sure if it." I said looking down at my hand. Michelle looked at Trista. They knew what I did.
"So now we have a new mission, we will save Hotaru and destroy beryl." I said looking around. Everyone smiled. "Sounds like a plan to me." Mina said. "We can't turn our back on a fellow sailor scout." Lita said standing up. "Where's Altiar?" I said looking around. "Oh, he said he was going to get everything ready for tomorrow." Ray said. "Ok. I have a plan. And if it works, will save Hotaru from Beryl." I said. "What is it?" Mina said. "Don't worry. Its only something that I can do." I said looking out the window. "What time are we going to attack the office?" I said walking into the kitchen. "Altiar said the guards switch out at eleven." Michelle said. "Good, that will give us enough time to set everything up."
"We need to get Hotaru away from the base and by herself, We will lead her about a mile away. That should be far enough away that we don't have any soldiers showing up." I said taking a drink of water. "So what do we do till then?" Ray said. "We rest." I said walking over and heading upstairs. "You guys can use the TV till it gets dark." I said at the top of the stairs. "Yay." Mina said turning the TV on.
Mina, Lita, Ray and Amy all started to watch TV. Michelle and Amara and Serena took out scrabble and started to play. I closed my door as I started to take my robe off. I hung it on the closet and sat down on my bed. I took out the locket that I took from Hotaru's house. I looked at it for a few seconds before putting it on the night stand. "I will save you Hotaru…I promise." I said standing up.
I was sweaty from running all over town. I walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. I took my shirt and shorts off and hoped in. I stood there making sure not to get my hand wet. I just stood there for a little bit, thinking of what we were going to do tomorrow. I was so busy thinking. I didn't hear the door open. The figure started to undress as I looked over and saw someone there. I started to blush as I saw who it was.
"T-Trista!?" I said. Trista opened the curtain and hopped in, standing behind me. "Samuel…" Trista said in my ear as she pushed her chest into my back. My nose started to bleed as I was trying my hardest to not get turned on. "T-Trista, what are you doing?" I said not turning around. "Samuel…do you not like me?" Trista said. My eyes went wide. "After everything we have been through these last few weeks…I feel like you don't really have feelings for me…" Trista said laying her head on my shoulder. "Trista…I do care about you…but." I said looking down. "But what?"
"…You live a life a can't support." I said. Trista didn't say anything. "I know that most people would call me a whore for sleeping with so many men. I understand if you don't want to be with me for that…but." Trista said turning me around looking me in the eyes. "I promise that from now on…you will be the only man I love." Trista said smiling. I started to blush as Trista started to kiss me. Trista's lips where so soft. Trista pulled away as she smiled. "Ohhh? Someone is happy with that answer." Trista said smiling at me as she moves her hand down my stomach. Trista starts to rub me as I let out a small gasp. "Ohhh, do you like it Samuel?" Trista said as she goes back to kissing me Trista puts her other hand behind my head as she slides her tongue into my mouth.
Trista pushed me against the wall as I lost myself. I moved my hands up as I started to grope Trista. Trista started to let out small moans. Trista's boobs where bigger than Mina or Lita's. they felt more firmer too. After a little while, I pulled away gasping for air. Trista had that look of lust in her eyes like Mina and Lita. I pushed her against the back of the shower wall and lifted her up. Trista wrapped her legs around me as I thrust myself into her. Trista lets out a loud gasp as she looks at me. I start to move back and forth as Trista wrapped her hands around my neck as I run my hand through her hair.
"S-Samuel, it feels so good!" Trista said losing herself. "I've never felt so good in my life!' Trista said as she started to kiss me again. For the next several minutes, Trista and me we lost in a world of pleasure.
"S-Samuel, I'm gonna…" Trista said looking at me as she was twitching a little. I held Trista close as we both climaxed together. "Ahhhh!" Trista let out a loud gasp as she arched her back. Trista's body twitched a little before we both fell to the shower floor. We both started to catch our breath. "S-Samuel…" Trista said looking at me with her red eyes. "I love you..." Trista said kissing me. I blushed as I kissed her back before passing out from the lack of blood.
I woke up a while later laying in my bed with my clothes on. I looked over and saw Trista lying next to me. "Hey you." Trista said full of herself.
"I understand now whey Mina and Lita couldn't hold themselves back." Trista said winking at me. I blushed and looked away. "Anyway, I better head back down. The others will start to wonder where I went off to." Trista said getting up and walking over to the door. Trista opened the door and blew me a kiss before walking back down. I took a sigh as I looked up at the ceiling. "Things are getting out of hand Samuel." I told myself thinking about what I just did. Still feeling tired from lack of blood, I closed my eyes and fell back asleep, Hoping that just maybe, this will all be over tomorrow…
Friday November 11th 1977 9:03 A.M. Opening my eyes. I took a stretch. I looked at the clock and got up and rubbed my eyes. I walked downstairs to see everyone eating breakfast. "Morning." I said walking into the kitchen. "Morning Sammy." Mina said smiling at me. "Morning Samuel." Lita said smiling at me. "Something smells good." I said sitting down at the table. "Trista made us pancakes." Mina said stuffing her mouth full. I let out a laugh as Trista walked up from behind me.
"Morning honey." Trista said bending over and kissing me on the cheek and putting a plate of pancakes in front of me. Mina got mad. "Trista! What do you think you're doing to my Sammy!?" Mina said with a pouty face. "Y-ya Trista." Lita said blushing. "Ohhh? What? You should know that its only nice to share." Trista said smiling. "A-anyway." I said as I started to eat. "Is Altiar back yet?"
"Ya, he just went out to meet with someone to refill his throwing knifes and smoke bombs." Ray said. "Good, I'll tell him about what happen when he gets back." I said as I continued to eat. We ate breakfast till Altiar came back carrying a box.
"Ah Samuel, welcome back." Altiar said putting the box down. "Hey." I said walking over to him. "I wanted to tell you that we have a plan for getting Saturn free from Beryl's control." I said sitting down in my chair. "What is it?" Altiar said sitting down as well. For the next few minutes, I told Altiar what happened yesterday and of the plan.
"Hmm, that should work if we could lure her away from the base." Altiar said with his hand under his chin. "How would you go about doing it?" Altiar said looking over to me. "Michelle, Amara and Trista will lure her over to us. When she gets in range. All of us will ambush her till she's worn down, at which, I will try to save her." I said standing up. "How will you go about doing that?" Altiar said standing up. "I'm not sure how to explain, but I will save her." I said looking out the window as it started to rain. "We better get going, it's starting to rain." I said walking over to the stairs.
"Everyone, ready up!" I said looking back at everyone. Everyone nodded as I went upstairs to get my robe on. I started to put my robe on as several lights started to flash through the house. I put my blades on as Venus came up. "Sammy?" Venus said walking in wearing her sailor uniform.
"Hey Mina." I said turning back to her. "Is something wrong?" I said turning around putting my boots on. "…You're going to save Hotaru like you saved the other girl before, are you?' Mina said looking down. "..." I didn't say anything as I put my cape on. "Sammy, do you remember what happen last time you tried to save a girl like this?" Mina said looking away. "…That was different…I was young, I didn't know any better." I said putting my throwing knifes on my belt.
"Sammy, I almost lost you last time, and she wasn't even worth it!" Mina said clutching her fist. "She had every right to not be grateful." I said walking past Venus. Everyone downstairs was hearing us talking as Jupiter and Mars stood at the bottom of the stairs. "Sammy! I know you care for every girl, but some just can't be saved!" Venus said. "That girl…she toyed with your heart…she used you."
I didn't say anything as I looked away. "None of that matters now." I said looking up. "None of that matters?" Venus said. "Your feelings are just as importing as anyone else's!" Venus said rising her voice. "Why are you arguing about this with me?" I said looking at her. "It's just…" Venus said looking down. "…I don't want to ever see you like that again." Venus said getting teary eyed.
"…" I didn't say anything as I walked over to her and hugged her. "I promise Mina…I will never be like that again." I said pulling away and smiling at her. "O-ok…" Venus said blushing. I petted her as we both walked down. We get down as everyone was trying to act like they were busy.
"Ok, everyone. Our mission today is to save Hotaru. We will lure her about a mile away and ware her down to the point where our words will reach her." Everyone nodded as I looked at Altiar. "Altiar, you and Serena will watch the perimeter and make sure no stray soldiers show up." Altiar nodded. "let's go…" I said opening the door and walking out. Everyone walked out into the rain as we all started running down the streets to the building…
Friday November 11th 11:28 A.M. Walking up to the side of a building, me and Altiar climbed up the side. We get to the top and look across the street to see the building. "There it is." I said as Pluto and Uranus and Neptune jumped up. "Saturn should be leaving any minute. Make sure you follow her till she's a little ways away then lead her to the corner of 8th and B. We will have that place clear by the time you show up." I said looking back at them. They all nodded as we heard noise coming from across the street. We looked to see Saturn looking over the city as she started to hop from rooftop to rooftop.
"You're up." I said looking at them. "See you soon." Neptune said as all three started to dash off after Saturn. Me and Altiar hopped off and ran to meet with the others. "Ok. Now we rush over and clear the area. Let's go, we have maybe ten minutes." I said looking at everyone. Everyone nodded as we dashed for the 8th and B.
After running for about Five minutes, we came to the street. We hid behind the corner and peeked out. We saw two trucks and eight soldiers. "You wait here. Me and Altiar will take care of them." I said looking at the others. Everyone hid behind as me and Altiar started to climb the building next to us. We get to the top and start looking over everyone. "I'll take the four by the light post. Can you get the two by the truck and the two by walking in the street." I said looking at Altiar. "At least give me a challenge." Altiar said with a smirk. "Heh. Don't get full of yourself." I said hoping down to the street. Altiar went the other way as I moved in the shadows over to the streetlight. I saw Altiar waiting for my move.
I looked around the corner to see two leaning against the streetlight and the other two smoking by the wall. I walked slowly behind the two under the streetlight and stabbed them in the necks with my blades. Altiar jumped off the roof onto the two in the street before moving over to the two by the trucks. The two on the wall saw me as they reached for their guns. I grabbed my throwing knifes and threw them into their chest as Altiar stabbed the two by the trucks. "Get rid of the body's, I'll go tell the others to come out." Altiar nodded as I ran over to the ally.
"Ok, you can come out now." I said. Everyone came out as they made their way into the street. "Ok, we have only a few minutes. Mars and Jupiter, you two will be up on the building, giving the rest of us cover fire. Mercury, you will use your bubble spray to cover the area in mist to keep Saturn at bay. Altiar and sailor Moon, Keep all soldiers more than a block from us. Venus, you will help the rest of us, we will rush her and start wearing her down." Venus nodded as we started to hear explosions in the distance.
"Remember to only ruff her up till she's worn down." I said. Everyone ran into position as we waited for the others to run by. It wasn't long. After about two minutes of waiting…
*BOOOOM!* A large Purple wave of energy shoots out at the ground making a deep cut in the street as Three Figures dash by us. Saturn dashes by as everyone shoots their attacks at her causing a big explosion. "Mercury, now!" I yelled as Altiar rushed away with sailor Moon. "Mercury bubble spray!" Mercury yelled. Mercury shot out a mist that covered the whole area. Saturn looked around to see if she could see anyone. We all rushed her. For the next several minutes, we all took turns attacking...
Saturn was not going down, blow for blow she would block. Jupiter shot out a bolt of lightning at Saturn. Saturn block it as she dash behind her. Saturn kicked Jupiter onto the ground. "Jupiter!" Venus yelled. Venus Dash over to her but Saturn teleported in front of her. Venus attacked but Saturn was too fast. She swung her scythe at Venus cutting her cheek a little.
Pluto shot a ball of energy at her. Saturn jumped up as does a 360 spin with her scythe sending out a wave of energy. It knocks back Pluto, Uranus and Neptune into the buildings. They fall to the street and fall over, unable to move. "Damit!" I said under my breath. Saturn ran towards Mars as I threw a smoke bomb at her. Mars jumps out as I run in. I popped out my hidden blade and went for a thrust into her arm. But Saturn blocked it with her scythe. I looked in her eyes as I could tell she was getting tired. "Just a little more." I said to myself as I back away.
Mars shoots her fire at her as it engulfs her. Saturn jumps out and attacks mars. Saturn knees her in the stomach as she falls to the ground holding herself, bending over in pain. "No matter what you do. You will die…" Saturn said lifting her scythe up. Mars looks up still holding her side. "Happiness doesn't exist…only pain and suffering…" Saturn said with a small twinkle in her eyes. I get big eyed. "Now!" I said to myself as I rushed her.
I dove in front of Saturn as she swung down her scythe, causing a small shock-wave to shoot out. The dust cleared to reveal me blocking her scythe with my sword. "M-mars, get the others…Ill handle her now." I said as I was barley holding her scythe back. Mars dashed over to the outer scouts who were knocked out as she helped them up.
"There's nothing you can do…you and your friends will die by me." Saturn said pushing down harder. I fell to my knees as her scythe came closer to my face. "S-Saturn…" I said as I looked up. I knew Hotaru was in there somewhere. *Flashbacks to me reading her diary* "Now…" Saturn said as her scythe started to glow purple. "Oh no, if that attack hits, everyone here will…" I said looking over at the others. "S-Saturn!" I yelled. "Dieeee!" Saturn yelled lifting her scythe above her head. I closed my eyes she started to swing down. "Hotaruuuu!" I screamed as a small explosion went out. Dirt was everywhere. No one could see us. "S-Sammy…" Venus said looking on in fear.
After a few seconds, the dust cleared to reveal me laying on my back not moving, with my sword broken next to me. "N-n-no…" Venus said getting big eyed. Saturn stood there shaking as she tried to catch her breath. I start to move as I slowly get to my feet, barley having any energy to stand. Venus sees something in my hand as Jupiter comes too. "W-where did you get that?" Saturn said looking at the locket in my hand. "Hotaru…it's not your fault…" I said looking up at her. "S-shut up…" Saturn said looking down. "It's not your fault…" "I said shut up!" Saturn yelled swinging her scythe at me.
I blocked it with my blade as the tip hits my head, knocking me back a little. "Venus, we need to help Samuel!" Jupiter said trying to get up. "No…" Venus said looking on as the outer scouts started to come to. "What? Why!?" Jupiter said looking up at her. "Because Sammy is going to save her…" Venus said as the outer scouts got to their feet. "What is Samuel thinking?" Pluto said holding her hand on her shoulder.
"Now you guys will see...just what truly makes Samuel the most wonderful person ever…" Venus said as the others watched on. "Do it Sammy…" Venus said holding onto Jupiter. Saturn stood in place not moving. Not really knowing where she was.
"H-Hotaru…" I said limping over to her. *inside Saturn's mind* "Who's there?" Hotaru said to herself. "I hear someone, but I don't see them…" Hotaru started to walk about in her mind, looking for the voice that she was hearing. *back outside her mind*
Saturn stands there with her scythe still in her hand not moving. "It's not your fault…for what your father did…" I said looking on. Saturn starts to gets choked up. "You were scared…anyone would be." I said clutching my fist. "But don't you dare even for second, blame yourself…" I said now standing five feet away from her. *Inside Saturn's mind.* Hotaru looks around trying to figure out where that voice is coming from. "I-it's not my fault?" Hotaru said looking on into the blackness of her mind. *back outside her mind*
"No one here hates you…No one here is mad at you…"
"Why…why do you try so hard for someone you don't know!?" Saturn yelled as she starts to cry. "Your just like him! Like all the others! You don't care about me! You're a pig! A creep! A pervert! Your only acting like this to make yourself look better!" Saturn said screaming at me as more tears started to fall down her face.
"What you said is right Saturn…maybe I'm just being a hypocrite and I'm doing this for my own satisfaction…but still…" *I limp closer to her* "I will save you…" I said as blood started to drop down my face. "Why!?" Saturn yelled as she held her scythe up to my neck. "…" I didn't say anything as Hotaru held her scythe on my neck, ready to cut it off. "WHYYY!?" Saturn screamed at me. "Because you haven't experienced happiness yet!" I yell out. Saturn gets big eyed as she backs up a little as more tears run down her cheeks.
Hotaru sees someone standing next to her in her head. *back outside her mind* "I don't care that you are the sailor scout of death…I don't care if all you know is pain and suffering, or whatever! From now on, you will live your life according to you! And if anything gets in the way of that, I will destroy it!" I yelled as I was now only three feet away from her.
"You're not alone anymore Hotaru…and I promise that you will never be alone again!" I yelled out. *back inside Saturn's mind* Hotaru started to cry as she reached out her hand towards the person on front of her as her mind lights up with a light as a small shattering sound could be heard. *back outside her mind*
Saturn stood there for a few seconds before dropping her scythe. Saturn fell to her knees and cried. The headband on her forehead fell off as smoke started to come out. I crushed it and knelled down and hugged her. Saturn started to cry on my shoulder as the others smiled and cried as well. "You did it Sammy..." Venus said smiling and wiping away her tears.
Saturn kept crying as I softly petted her head. "It's ok Hotaru…it's over." I said as I looked down at her. Saturn looks up at me with tears in her eyes. "I-" Was all she could say before a faint purple light flashed around her. After a few seconds, Saturn switched back to Hotaru and passed out in my arm. "Rest now Hotaru…" I said smiling as I picked her up in my arms.
I walked over to everyone as they looked at me smiling. "Well I'll be dammed…" Pluto said wiping tears away. "You truly are one of a kind…" Uranus said smiling. "You did it Sammy…" Venus said smiling at me. Jupiter looked down at Hotaru who was sleeping in my arms. "Will she be ok?"
"Don't worry. She's just sleepy." I said looking down at her. "Come on let's all go home…" I said turning around walking down the street. Everyone smiled as they followed close behind me…
*Back with beryl* Beryl looks over the city and slams her foot into the ground, cracking it. "God Damit!" She yells out. Her husband's walks out to her. "What's wrong?"
"It would seem I have underestimated this Samuel person." Beryl said walking back inside. Beryl's husband follows her as she continues to talk. "Months of searching, weeks of stalking, days of planning, all for nothing!" Beryl said swinging the door open and walking into her office. Beryl walks over and sits down at her desk. Beryl's husband walks over and looks down at her. "Don't worry love. All is not lost." He says putting his hand on hers. "What are we going to do now?" Beryl says looking at him. "I'll take care of them." He said standing up as a dark aura started to flow from him.
"You…have your powers back." Beryl said standing up. "And now that I have my powers back. They don't stand a chance." He said giving an evil smile. "So what do we do?" Beryl said. "We wait…they will come to us. And when they do…I'll handle everything." He said as his aura started to grow more…
Friday November 11th 1977 2:19 P.M. Walking inside my house, I take Hotaru upstairs and lay her on my bed. The outer scouts come up with me as the inner scouts stay downstairs.
I covered her up with a blanket as Neptune looks over her. "What's the damage?" I said looking down at her. Neptune stood up and looked at us. "She seems fine…but I fear her mind might be a different story. There's no telling what kind of damage was done to her mind by beryl." Neptune said leaning against the wall. "All we can do now is wait…" I said looking at Hotaru sleeping on the bed. "But now that Hotaru is with us…we have an opening at Beryl." Pluto said. "We need to act on this while she is still in discord." I said walking down the stairs. Everyone followed me as we went into the living room.
"Ok everyone, listen up." I said looking around. Everyone else looked at me. "I know you are all tired. And I thank you for sticking with me for so long. But now we must rush beryl while her defenses are down and end this. So I ask you. Will you stand and fight?" Everyone smiled as Venus walked over to me.
"Do you even need to ask?" Venus said sticking out her tongue. "Let's go get beryl and teach her a lesson." Jupiter said punching her fist. I smiled. "Thank you…" I said looking at Altiar. "Altiar. I want you and me to go inside after Beryl. Everyone else, you stay outside and draw all her troops outside, that will give us a window to get in." Everyone nodded. "What about Hotaru? Are you sure its ok to leave her hear?" Mars said. "Don't worry, no one knows she is here. And everyone will be busy fighting us." I said. "Ok, I trust your judgement Samuel." Mars said smiling. "Then let's go…" I said walking over to the door.
The rain had stop but the sky was covered in dark clouds. We all walked out and I locked the door behind me. We all started to make our way to Beryl's office, hoping that all of this will be over soon...
After about half an hour of running, we came to the street down from the building. We looked over and saw the place crawling with soldiers. "Ok. You guys get their attention and leave the rest to us." I said as me and Altiar ran across the street.
"So, who wants to go first?" Pluto said smiling. Everyone smirked as Uranus held her hand above her head. "Uranus world shaking!" Uranus yelled as she slammed her fist into the ground. The ball of energy rockets at the group of soldiers as they all look on in horror.
*Back with Samuel and Altiar* We ran down the alley as we see a big explosion in front of the building. Sirens started to go off as we waited a few seconds before going in the back. There were a few soldiers still inside. We made quick work of them as we headed for the main office. We turned a corner to see the double doors. "There." I said as we ran for them. Me and Altiar ran and kicked the door open, ready for anything. I looked around and saw no one.
Altiar started to look around as I went over to her desk and started to go through a few papers. "There not here." Altiar said. "This can't be. There's no way she would have gotten far." I said looking up. Just then… "Are you two looking for me?" A woman's voice said from behind us. We turned to the door to see Beryl standing by them. We drew out our blades.
"It's over Beryl." Altiar said walking over to her. "Is it now? You must realize that I have a plan for every outcome this battle has to offer." Beryl said pointing her scepter at us. "You might have taken Saturn from me. But don't think even for a second that I can't still take this world for ourselves!" Beryl said as she starts to laugh. "What are you saying!?" I yelled at her.
"You fools! my love is fully recovered, and is taking care of your little friends even as we speck!" Beryl said. "And I'm going to take care of you!" She said as she shoots a huge energy ball at us. The ball hits as we are sent flying backwards hitting the window. We fall out into the alleyway. I was in a lot of pain as I tried to stand up.
"Altiar! Are you ok!?" I said looking over to him. "I'm fine." He said slowly standing. Beryl jumps out the window as she lands a few feet away. "You are nothing more than a man! There's nothing you can do against a demon like me!" Beryl said laughing.
"Altiar…what do we do?" I said as Beryl started to charge another energy ball. "We attack." Altiar said drawing out his sword. Ill draw her attention, you look for an opening." Altiar said rushing her. Beryl started to shoot ball after ball at Altiar. I ran around looking for a opening as we both started our fight with Queen Beryl…
