Okay, short chapter today. Sorry but, I'm trying to work on Friends of the Wrong Sort so forgive me if the updates aren't up to your liking.
Chapter 3: Look inward to learn the truth
"Come ON!" The blonde woman screamed at her. Usagi felt tears run down her cheeks. Big fat tears that showed she was weak. Usagi, the big crybaby.
"Koneko, what are you doing?" the woman asked with dark amusement in her voice.
Usagi ran away from the scary woman. She heard the woman's laughter behind her. The others were busy. The woman had brought reinforcements. Usagi heard Rei scream behind her. She wanted to help, she really did, but she was useless. She tripped over a rock.
"Really? A rock, Koneko? How typical!" The woman prodded Usagi's ankle with her sword. She yelped in pain.
"Broke an ankle? How pathetic. At least I'll be able to end your miserable exsistance." The woman raised her sword.
Usagi squeezed her eyes shut and clutched her broach.
'Don't give up. They all need you. Don't despair. Do you want power?'
Yes, yes I do...I have to repay Fighter and Rei and Makoto...I can't die yet! Not here!
'Yell out these words, Moon Eternal Make Up....you will have the power...'
Usagi opened her eyes and turned around.
The woman stopped mid-swing. "Koneko's finally showing a spine? Ha, I've got to see this," The woman lowered her sword.
Usagi took a deep breath. "MOON ETERNAL MAKE UP!" A flash of light. A rustle of feathers. She felt the power flow throughout her.
"How dare you threaten me and my friends? It's unforgivable! Agent of Justice! Pretty Sailor Soldier! Sailor Moon! In the name of the moon, I will punish you!"
The woman burst out into laughter. "That's a great idea! Let's make our enemies laugh to death." She sobered up. "Now is not the time for fun and games, Koneko." She raised her sword again. "Time to die..."
Sailor Moon brandished the Eternal Tiare. She blocked the first swing. Second swing. Third.
"Come on Koneko. Stop fighting it. You know who can't win."
'Do not listen to her! You can do it!'
But how? What can I do?
'Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss...that is the name of your attack.'
That sounds really girly and not dangerous at all.
'You are Sailor Moon, Usagi Tsukino, Princess Serenity and Neo-Queen Serenity. It is not the name that defines the person-or attack. Use it wisely...'
Sailor Moon swung back haphazardly. The woman laughed and jumped back. Sailor Moon saw her opening.
"STARLIGHT HONEYMOON THERAPY KISS!" A beam of pink light and swirling feathers hit the woman.
"B-b-beauti-!"
"DEEP SUBMERGE!" A globe of water disrupted the pink-and-feather beam.
Sailor Moon saw a figure that was dressed in the same outfit as Mars, Jupiter and Mercury, but in sea-green. She smiled mysteriously and disappeared. The mysterious senshi's presence enraged the woman.
"How DARE she come here! I was perfectly fine! I didn't need any help!" The woman growled. "Retreat!" She yelled at her youma. They stopped fighting and vanished into thin air.
"Stupid blonde bimbo..." Fighter muttered as Ami treated their battle wounds.
"I haven't done anything to her! She's crazy! Sociopathic!"
"She's not that bad," Makoto said. "Just...hostile to strangers. The Chaos is messing up with her mind and Michiru's not here... She's having a hard time."
"I'M having a hard time!" Seiya complained. "One of my Starlights is dead, the other is missing and I don't know if my princess is alive or dead! Going to this planet was the worse mistake ever."
Makoto rolled her eyes. "Whatever,"
Usagi noticed that Ami and Rei had kept silent.
"Rei, Ami, what's wrong with you guys?"
Ami shook her head.
"Nothing Usagi," Rei said. "Mako? Can you make us something to eat? I'm starving!"
Usagi's stomach rumbled. "Yeah, some food!"
"Why did you help her! What the hell is your problem? We don't need to make anymore enemies!"
The sea-green-clad senshi shook her head. "I can't help it. I don't want to see her hurt."
The one with the long hair looked up with her knitting. She saw her two friends arguing. She shook her head and returned to knitting.
