So sorry for the delay! I haven't had internet for the longest time and I just got it back last night. For my lovely readers, I present a double update!
Chapter 5: Starry sky healed their minds
The angry one who yelled a lot sat by the lake. She was inside the cave that she and the other two used as their home. The lake glowed an eerie blue, bathing everything in a soft blue light. She had the scarf that the long-haired one knitted for her. It faintly smelled like the beach. The angry one who yelled a lot would never admit it, but she liked the long-haired one. But no-one could ever know.
"Healer," The senshi is sea-green said. "I'll be back. I have to scout for survivors."
"Good luck with that," Healer scoffed. No-one was alive. The senshi in sea-green left the cave. A song, full of hope and joy, filled the cave.
"Siren. Shut up," Healer said, harshly. The singing stopped. Healer looked to the glowing lake.
"How is she, Siren?"
"I'm sure she's fine."
"But IS SHE?"
Healer's outburst frightened Siren a little.
"She's dead, Healer-san..."
Healer stood up and whirled around to face Siren. "No she's not! She's right here!" She pointed to an empty spot beside her. "Tell her! Tell her you're alive Venus!"
No answer.
"She's here I tell you! She's here!" Healer was flailing wildly. "She's always here! She talks to me all the time!" Healer turned towards the empty spot.
"Don't pay Siren any mind, Venus. She's just being silly. She always does that. She's so annoying, she never shuts up, all she does is sing and knit stupid scarfs and stuff. She makes me sick, just like that Neptune, she thinks she's all that but she's not! But the world will be cleansed by me and she won't be in it. But you will Venus. And Maker and the princess and Fighter and even Siren, if she makes more scarves and stuff like that, and there will be pretty flowers and trees and the sky will be blue and there will be trees and I'll rule everything. Siren says I'm the strongest out of everybody...I am..." Healer trailed off.
"Siren?" she asked.
"Yes, Healer-san?"
"She's not there, is she?"
"No, Healer-san."
"I'm not crazy Siren."
"Of course not, Healer-san." Siren smiled brightly. "Now, do you want a green blanket or a black one?"
Fighter looked up at the night sky. The stars shone dimly.
"It's depressing."
Fighter's eyes flickered to see Sailor Mercury standing besides her, head to the sky.
"The stars used to shine brightly. Now, their light barely reaches here." Mercury lamented.
Fighter scoffed. "That's because all the stars near here have either been killed or died out..."
"Fighter, what will you do as soon as you find your princess and your comrades?"
"I'm leaving. We need to rebuild our own planet. I don't want anything to do with this one."
"I see... Do you know who did this?"
Fighter smirked, bitter and twisted. "Of course. Galaxia."
"Who is she?"
"Sailor Senshi gone bad. She goes around destroying planets and stealing everyone's starseed."
"I see... So, Earth was next on the list."
"Yes, it was. But she didn't do it all in one blow, like with here, it was slow, so she could gather all the starseeds. I don't know what she was thinking for here..." Fighter stood up and stretched her long legs. "Let's not cry over stomped olives. This planet is dead and you have to restore it while I restore my planet." She nodded to the water senshi and headed towards camp. It smelled like Jupiter was cooking again.
"I'm back," Neptune said as she returned to the cave. "No luck. Anything happen while I was gone?"
"Nothing happened, Neptune-san! It's all peachy! Mmmmm, peaches..."
Neptune laughed. "Alu, there's some fruit in the basket."
"Yay! Want some Healer-san?"
"Don't yell anymore! Your voice is so annoying!"
"Okay then!"
"Someone kill me..."
