Chapter Four
Makoto cracked her knuckles an old habit she did while waiting in the small teacher conferences room.
The Dean was walking over a little nervous. Makoto could tell as his hands shook a little handing her cup of coffee.
"Sorry we only have plastic cups…we don't have glass or porcelain in this town mostly everything is recycled… porcelain is very expense too now and…." He stopped short as Makoto sipped the coffee looking at him with a beaming smile then turned to look out one of the windows looking at the schools back quad.
Outside bodies of students in casual clothing. Couples holding hands laughing and smiling at each other. Others sitting on the grass or standing on it playing guitars, tossing a Frisbee or kicking a soccer ball back and forth.
They seemed so normal not like the young adult TC citizens who dressed the same way fashion wise and always had have something high tech in their hands or going to a local dance club. Or partying there youth days away...or maybe they were here as well; just the clubs might not be as high tech…
She didn't like high tech stuff…..or the high tech city life….
"Dean….the student has arrived at the door should I let her in?" A woman said softly poking her head in through the door.
"Yes sure…." Dean replied still recovering from Sailor Jupiter's smile.
Makoto lifted her head to see Aya squeeze by. She looked a little frazzled and somewhat pissed (she felt bad for the person who might have bumped into her at the wrong time).
Makoto coughed lightly, the Dean not as dense as the other ones she visited. He got the message and excused himself closing the door.
"What kept you up?" She asked as Aya lifted her head up and snorted.
"I bumped into one of the students here is all….messed up my note cards…" Aya sat down flipping through them for a quick second then placed them down on the thick wooden table. Taking out her handheld Pad, as it was clear and glowing hypnotic rainbow on the inside system. As she typed in something then snapped her fingers as the pad glowed and sent the message then shut itself off.
"Are you ready for your speech?" Makoto asked trying to avoid staring at that tiny object that was more high tech than a laptop back in the day.
"As am….besides not like they care Kino-sama they are all waiting for you to just awe at your greatness and beauty like they do all the time with the others and Mizuno-sensie…" Aya said softly, but her hands were shaking a little.
She was nervous, just putting up a front.
Makoto lifted her head to hear the school bell ring a few times making a chiming ding for a few seconds and then soon mass students among the chatter where entering the quad sitting down on the grass or leaning against the trees.
Some were wearing those sun glasses visor, checking news feeds and updates sending message and calls. Others had a finger pressed to their ear as if listening to a message. A few had there wrist lifted close to their mouths chatting in excitement…
"Well looks like it is show time! Are you sure you are ready for this Aya?" Makoto asked, the prodigies were on a first name basis with the senshi's they warmed them to try as well, but it seemed only Rack and Shaq where the only ones comfortable with it…
Aya nodded as placed her pad under the stack of blue note cards and swallowed. "Ready as ever Kino-sama…."
Makoto chuckled and helped guide the nervous prodigy of Mercury to the stage where she would be giving her speech.
(…)
The stage was a bit small, not exactly the largest she has been on, and the quad seemed even tinier with all the students cramming themselves. They roared and clapped in excitement when Jupiter took the stage and sat down next to the dean. Aya took the empty seat next to her.
The dean got up and walked over to the podium, stared at the mass of his cheering students. Then waved his hands down a bit, and soon the crowd grew quiet. With only a few coughs escaping the mass crowd.
People from the open walk hallway's, into the school buildings were watching from afar leaning on one of the pillars or sitting on the concrete…those were only a few and they were scattered around.
The Dean called Aya's name and gave her an encouraging smile.
Aya stood up rigid and walked over Makoto wasn't sure what Aya was talking about she was probably talking to the Jupiter community college students. (which Makoto rolled her eyes about at the name of the school). That CTU was a fan of dedicated students who had a feel for potential.
That if they tried hardest they would not only get the best school of the country but have an international feel as well.
Makoto smiled as she listened to Aya some students listened, but most were star gazing at Makoto even some of the faculty.
Makoto saw that only a handful of students and staff seemed remotely interested in what Aya had to say.
Makoto listened intently to Aya's words ignoring the stares until she heard the skidding of a bike tires in the distance someone needing to use their own shoes to make the friction to stop.
That's when Makoto noticed her.
She was a thin tall girl, with short dark hair that looked black, but it was very dark brown. The hair seemed to swoop to her left in a messy spiky fashion like she just got out of bed even the back of her hair seemed stick up and sway a little.
She had sort of swamp colored eyes (wait that sounded to gross). Her eyes seemed to look a dark forest green with specks of copper looking brown.
Her skin tone had an sort of light tan over , probably normally pale skin which meant she went out a lot.
The girl grinned at something the taller boy with brown hair said showing white teeth the top set of teeth a little crooked showing her incisors pushing out a little more than others. They were standing in the open corridors.
The girl seemed to have high cheek bones and sharp pointed chin and a slender nose. The girl was shaking her head at something the boy said.
The strange thing was the girl seemed to have such a clear vision of herself it almost baffled Makoto. She felt like the girl was pulling her body like an electric super charge magnet and Makoto was the right piece of steel.
That's when girl lifted her head looking directly at Makoto too, blinking a few times in a sense of recognition. Adjusting herself and that rusty old bike straight.
Makoto's stare was unwavering she suddenly saw the girls eye turn a bright electric green. Makotos eyes widened then finally the boy waved a hand in her face and snapped his fingers. Somehow that broke the trance and the girl turned toward the boy.
This helped wake Makoto too she never felt such a powerful connection like that before. Makoto stood and grabbed the attention of the Dean and few others by her stir.
It was her! It was her!

That was a weird moment all Getsu remembered was pedaling to the back quad and teetering off the grass and stone pavement outside hallways between the pillars. Some people scattered out of her way when she was riding.
When you go to a community college with only a thousand students… News spreads of your crazy bike ride from this morning spreads like wild fire. She probably had Sakura to thank for that.
She pressed her foot down and skidded to the spot where Chiro was leaning against the poll. The boy didn't even flinch as she swerved her bicycle to the side as her sneaker melted it's already worn soles on the pavement.
They chatted about Jupiter (mostly him ogling her) for a moment then Chiro scowled her for working another late shift tonight, when they had math exam the following day. His 'angry' face just made her laugh and shake her head.
Then she got the feeling someone was staring and it made her look up. Chiro's voice faded when she notice it was none other than Jupiter staring at her.
For a moment she felt everyone going in a haze around her and the woman became crystal clear.
The stare felt so intense forever and Getsu felt this energy running through her body. A sort of humming sensation building….And it seemed to keep building like a current.
Though the sudden sound of someone snapped broke the trance, and turned back to the culprit, which was Chiro himself. He looked confused as he began to speak.
"Jesus Getsu-Whoa what is up with your eyes?" Chiro said out of nowhere and Getsu blinked.
"What's wrong them?" Getsu asked.
"They are glowing a bright green like glow sticks at a rave bash…are you wearing new eye flicking contacts I thought they were still unstable…." Chiro replyed.
"I'm not wearing contact's Chiro-kun…"
"Well looks like it are you sure?" He reached out to touch her face.
Getsu jerked her face back and pulled her back pack off her searching through her bag for a mirror or something that could reflect her face. Grabbing her school pad she went to check her eyes. When her Pad suddenly turned on and started to flicker like mad like it was being over charged.
Suddenly it sputtered and started to give off static shocks, one hitting Getsu's hands as she dropped the pad falling on her knees. As the humming got more intense in her body, a ringing sensation going through her ears.
Chiro was leaning down grabbing her pad saying something to her, but it sounded like she was in a bubble.
The pain grew more intense. She felt Chiro's hands on her shoulder's, he was shaking her lightly shouting.
He didn't have to shout….I mean did she look that bad.
She looked up at him as he tried to lift her up porbably to take her to the Med center they had in the school. Suddenly she heard more muffled voices, of sounds of surprise.
Getsu looked up to see the Dean, a few falculty and possibly that girl giving the speech heading to her direction…and it looked like Jupiter was leading the parade as they sliced through the crowd of baffled students.
Heading towards her and Chiro….but as they grew closer the humming sensation went from a slight vibratation to a strong quick plusing rythym that seemed to be making her heart pound rapidly.
Suddenly she started to see black spots swimming in her vision.
Her body was screaming at her something a small voice in the back of her mind was saying softly, 'you need to get out of here…what is happening to you isn't safe!'
Another voice started to say, 'Its Jupiter stay away from her…Stay away from Jupiter!'
Getsu looked up the people coming towards her. No more like Jupiter who was coming towards her was only a few feet from her now struggling past the last of the crowd, her eyes locked on Getsu's
Getsu took her chance and she pushed Chiro away who landed on his butt in shock looking at Getsu who was standing up and running down the corridors through a door. She heard his voice shouting in concern with a few 'mumurs' around her but ignored them all. She ran to a nearby bathroom, pushing the door open as it slammed against in the wall in a fury of a swing.
No one was in here.
She notices the urinals though and snorted. She was in the men bathroom…
Getsu suddenly felt loud piercing ringing sensation enter her ears. So bad she almost lost her footing. She stumbled towards one of the sinks gripping the cool smooth glass edges looking up at herself in the mirror.
Getsu's eyes widen as she saw two pairs of brightly electric looking green glowing back at her. Her hair seemed wilder then it normally did.
"What…is happening-Ahhhh!" Getsu screamed the ringing happened again the black dots were swimming her vision. Then the feeling the humming pulsation ran through her body like crazy.
She pressed her hands to the side of her head. "Stop it! Stop it!" She screamed commanding her body, What she didn't notice was the astronomical sign of Jupiter glowing on her forehead. She felt a bright flash, as her own body became an electric current.
Suddenly she jerked head back and felt her vision went white, and the taste of metal in the back of her mouth.
Sudden sound of popping and shattering went all around her.
When it stopped, she fell to her knees, as her vision came back. She was surrounded in total darkness, the only light was coming from the windows.
As she passed out she felt the pelexy glass of shattered light rods around her.
Getsu realized she shattered them all….
