Solar Guardians

This one is going to be so much fun. I love Merida and Sailor Mars is my favorite Sailor Guardian. Bear in mind that the uniforms are not going to be at all like the ones from the manga and anime. Not in color anyway. And some of their powers are going to be a bit different too. I'm trying to make this slightly original while staying in the AU. Also, let it be known I'm not Scottish and can barely use an accent when talking so I had to use an app of sorts for Merida's dialogue. I'm really sorry if it's inaccurate. I did what I could. Anyway lets get on with it. Thank you again to Neshthellshert for being an amazing editor and helping me find Rapunzel's voice. Still can't stop hearing your voice whenever Pascal talks… it's getting a little weird. I don't own anything the big four belongs to Disney and Dreamworks and their amazing creators. Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi, thank you for making such a wonderful story. Now enjoy everyone.

Act 2: Merida, Sailor Mars

Thes is so borin'. Merida sighed staring out the window. I'd much raither be ridin' wi' angus ur at archery club ur both.

"Miss Dunbroch."

She jumped as the teacher called her name.

"Aye." She answered.

"Please read from where I left off." Her teacher a pinch faced woman clicked.

"Och, um sure." Merida nodded looking down at her text book. "Uh, whaur was it ye left aff at?"

"Oh honestly if you don't intend to pay attention then why bother coming to class?" miss pinch face sighed.

Humiliated the fiery red head slumped in her chair blowing a stray curly auburn strand out of her face.

Coz mah mom is makin' me. she growled mentally, crossing her arms.

The rest of the day went on like that. Boring class after boring class. She really hated school. The only reason she put up with it was because, she didn't have any choice. That and archery club. She kept her grades up just fine, since that was the only way she could stay in the club, but that didn't mean she had to like it.

Lunch time was a small relief, even though she spent it alone out on the campus lawn. She hating being inside, there were to many distractions and people. With people came complications.

"Jist ignore it." She sighed closing her eyes. "It's not thaur if ye ignore it."

What she was referring to was the little blur wispy fire ball just a few feet from where she rested, becoming her to follow it.

"Jist ignore it." She sighed again rolling away from it.

This was just one of the odd things she sees. For all intense and purposes Merida, would be considered a psychic. She would receive premonitions of the past and future every now and then without any warning, she could see peoples auras—this one was easy to ignore since she could block it out once she got used to someone's presence—and these little blue fire balls that she assumed where will-o-wisps. Being Scottish she was privy to the lore and legends of her home land. They were supposed lead you to your fate, but all they did was lead her to trouble. When she was younger she would tell other kids and her parents about what she saw. Her mom would indulge her "fantasies" while her father gently told her she wasn't seeing anything. The kids however were brutal. Because they couldn't see anything like she did they assumed she was making it up and made fun of her for being a liar. Now if anyone knew anything about Merida it was that her red hair wasn't just for show. She was a bit of a hot head and would get aggressive with anyone that called her a liar. This landed her in detention often enough. Eventually her mother—once a supporter of what she said she saw—told her it was time to stop with the make-believe games and grow up. After that she avoided people all together and became one of the quietest people in the world. She never talked to anyone. This didn't make her less of a target though. Every now and then someone would catch her looking off into the distance and assumed she was looking at something that wasn't there. She was thought to be crazy and so every time she was caught staring off into space they assumed she was having an episode and seeing things. So, they would hassle her. She did her best to ignore it, taking her frustration out at archery club. Letting her anger fly away with the arrows she let loose. But still everyday she was plagued by visions which she had to claim as headaches, random aura jumping out and surprising her and worst of all whenever the will-o-wisps would show up beckoning her away. So many times she wanted to follow them knowing they would lead her to something better, but she couldn't. She had too many responsibilities as the eldest child of the Dunbroch family. And that was the end of it. That was her life from now till she was married off or something happened to change it.

Loch that'll ever happen. She growled to herself as she made her way to the archery fields. Coopon it dunbroch, yoo're gonnae end up in a loveless marriage whaur he'll spend his nicht wi' his secretary an' yoo'll be it ridin' angus shootin' at passin' targets. at leest yoo'll be a wee canty.

She was wallowing so deeply in her self-pity, it would take a light as bright as a full moon on a clear night to guide her to the surface.

And that's what she found.

She had just reached the door to the girl's locker room when he passed by. A boy wearing the same uniform she did—boy's version, obviously—and his hair was icy white. But that wasn't what caught her attention. It was his aura. Most peoples were a faint colored outline easily ignored. This boy's, however, was blazing. It demanded her attention like a flare. She couldn't look away. It was silver in color flowing freely out of the boy like it didn't have a care in the world. It drew her in. So much so that she didn't realize she had gone after him, not until he turned blinking confusedly at her.

"Is there something I can help you with?" he asked tilting his head.

"Um… no, ah don't think so." She shook her head still dazed.

"Then do you mind letting go of my arm?" he asked looking down at where her hand was wrapped tightly around his wrist.

"Och, sorry." She cried pulling back staring at her hand.

"You okay?" he asked bending down so he was level with her eyes. "You look like you saw a ghost."

At this she started fuming.

"Och, real funay." She hissed clenching her fists. "Next yoo'll ask me tae gaze intae a crystal baa an' see if ah see mah future in an asylum. Weel ye can gang dife aff a bridge fur aw Ah caur."

With that she turned on her heel rushing into the locker room ignoring whatever he was calling out to her.

"I didn't mean to offend you… and she isn't listening." He sighed rubbing his neck with a fond smile. "You still the same as ever, passionate and quick tempered. I'll have to tell Pascal I found you. It'll be good to have you on our side again."

With that he turned back, stuffing his hands in his pockets and headed for the front of the school. He had a busy day ahead of him. The others were still out there and he needed to find them, so this could all be resolved quickly.

"Wow, this place is so busy." Rapunzel marveled watching the packed streets.

"Of course, the school hours are over. Most students are out having fun now." Pascal nodded from atop her head.

"Huh, well either way let's go to the library." She smiled taking of in said direction. "But first I think I'll get a chai tea. I didn't get it last time so I'm getting it now-"

She paused completely transfixed by what she saw. A girl wearing a prep school uniform with a blue plaid skirt and black sweater vest over a button up dress shirt was walking on the opposite side walk looking less then content. Her hair was a deep red bouncing in uncontrollable curls atop her head reaching past her shoulders, eyes the color of the sky, and skin a pale white practically alabaster. She was beautiful and had this air about her that made you stare. Which is what Rapunzel was doing, to her horror.

"Why does such a pretty girl look so unhappy?" she wondered following the girl with her eyes.

Pascal followed her gaze and gasped.

That's the girl my informant told be about.

As if sensing their gazes, the red head's eyes shot in their direction glaring at them.

"Whoa." Rapunzel cringed at the heated stare. "She's intense."

The glare was gone almost as soon as it appeared however. Spotting them the red head froze staring in awe, her mouth agape like a fish. She stayed there for a moment before suddenly taking off like a bullet up the sidewalk and out of sight.

"What was that about?" Rapunzel wondered worriedly. "Did I offend her?"

"I wouldn't worry too much about that, Rapunzel." Pascal assured. "But I have a feeling about that girl. We should keep our eyes out for her."

"Why, what do you sense?"

"She may be one of us."

"Really?"

Come to think of it, I did feel something when I saw her. I just don't know what. Maybe I was feeling her power. I hope she's one of us. She was so pretty.

"Rapunzel, are you listening to me?" Pascal suddenly asked.

"Oh sorry, Pascal, what was that?" she asked looking up.

"I said, the next time you see her you should try to befriend her."

"Sure, even if she isn't a Solar Guardian it would be nice to have a friend." She smiled turning back to the café.

The smell of the café was as heavenly as it was the other day. It relaxed her in a way she didn't know was possible. If she could make her room smell like this she would pay any amount of money for it. But for now, she would settle for a cup of tea.

"One cappuccino double expresso."

Her eyes shot open—though she didn't remember when she closed them—and she eeped at the sight of who was in front of her.

"You." She gaped.

"Oh hey, I was wondering if I would see you again." The boy smirked.

She rolled his eyes unaffected by his smooth talk.

"You're the jerk who spilled my tea on me yesterday." She crossed her arms raising the brow.

"And you're the girl that ran into me and made me spill her tea all over her." he shot back.

"I didn't make you do anything."

"Well however you want to look at it I did offer to buy you a new cup. Speaking of which why don't I do that now?"

She scrutinized him looking up at Pascal who only shrugged but still gave the tall boy with stubble a warning growl.

"Why is he glaring at me?" the boy asked eyeing the lizard.

"He doesn't trust you." She shrugged.

"Say's the girl who talks to herself in the middle of a park."

"Are you going to buy me the drink or not?"

"Now, now keep your hair in it's braid, I'll buy you your drink. What is it you want anyway?"

"A sixteen-ounce organ chai tea with whipped cream on top." She beamed following him back to the counter.

"Ick." He cringed. "How can you stand such overly sweet stuff. And adding whipped cream to it. Your teeth must be hurting."

"My teeth are fine." she pouted. "You're one to talk, you know that double expresso is a heart attack waiting to happen, right."

"Hey it keeps me going and gets my school work done and it tastes good."

"See you can't judge me then."

"Or you're just too young to drink like a groan up." he shrugged. "What grade are you in anyway, seventh?"

"Not that it's any of your business, but I'm a ninth grade homeschool student."

"Ah, that explains a lot."

"What was that?"

"Nothing. One sixteen-ounce organ chai with whipped cream on top." He ordered from the barista.

"Oh hello again." She said to Rapunzel.

"Hi." Rapunzel smiled leaning into the counter. "I heard that there was an attempted robbery last night. Is everything alright."

"Oh, I guess it made the news huh." The girl smiled embarrassed. "Nothing was taken, but these two guys showed up while I was closing, it looked like their hands were changed into knives. I thought I was going to die… so I passed out. But when I woke up I felt better than I had in days. Weird huh?"

"Yeah, really weird." Rapunzel smiled forcing a laugh.

I guess my hair really helped her. That's a relief. It also seems like she doesn't remember anything about Sailor Sun, also good news.

The incident last night had made it into the news, saying that there was a robbery at the café but nothing was taken. The barista was attacked but showed no physical damage. Or at least that was all that Rapunzel saw on the news before her tutor showed up.

"Oh yeah, I saw that this morning." The boy piped in. "There was footage from the shops security cameras."

"What?" Rapunzel gaped.

This can't be good.

"Yeah, I saw that too." The barista nodded enthusiastically. "After I passed out these two superheroes show up and turned the guys to ash. The girl in the mini skirt did that. If those brutes had been human I would have been appalled. But after watching the film it was obvious they weren't. Though she wouldn't have been able to do much if the guy with the super speed hadn't shown up. It was so cool. I wish I was awake for it."

Okay, maybe this isn't a bad thing. Rapunzel sighed. She's right though. If Rider hadn't shown up I would have been in serious trouble.

"Come to think about it, you kind of look like the girl on the footage." The barista suddenly cheered.

"What? Me?" Rapunzel forced a smile she hopped looked natural while Pascal tensed, ducking into her hair.

Calm down, play it off as a joke. They don't know the truth. Just be cool.

"She's right." The boy smiled knowing this conversation was making her uncomfortable.

"W-well I'm flattered that you would compare me to a super hero." She smiled tensely. "But I don't think I have the skill to do what that girl did."

"Yeah, that's true. I mean you can't even watch where you're going." The boy agreed. "You wouldn't be a very good hero after all."

"Did you know you're really rude." Rapunzel pouted.

"Anyway, I'll get your drink, in the meantime here's a grape for the little guy." The barista smiled holding the promised fruit.

Pascal chirped gleefully taking it chewing happily.

"Be right back." She smiled turning to the machines.

"You know, that lizard has a very interesting mark on its forehead." The boy pounder aloud suddenly.

This made both Rapunzel and Pascal tense.

"What, oh you mean the little sun mark I drew." Rapunzel hastily covered up.

"You drew that?"

"Yeah, he's so well behaved and just sat there. I was bored and I thought it would look good, and it does." She smiled.

This guy sure is nosey. She groaned mentally.

"You're really good." He smiled.

"Th-thank you." She blushed.

"So now that we've run into each other three times, it might be a good time to introduce our selves. I'm Eugene Fitzherbert." He smiled holding out his hand.

"Rapunzel," she smiled. "Rapunzel Corona."

"It's nice to meet you, Rapunzel."

"Here you are. One organ chai." The barista chirped snapping them back to reality.

"Thank you." Rapunzel nodded, taking the cup.

"Well now that you've got your tea I'll be going. Got to get to work." Eugene sighed starting for the door.

"Where do you work?" Rapunzel asked truly curious.

"Why you planning on stalking me?"

"No, oh never mind." She ticked puffing out her cheeks.

"Tell you what. If we run into each other again, I'll tell you." He smiled waving to her as he walks on.

She watched him go, a longing in her heart she didn't understand.

Why won't my heart stop racing? She questioned herself. It did this with Rider too. I don't understand.

That girl… Eugene pondered his own inner turmoil as he trekked. The face, it was dark so I didn't get that good of a look, but the face. And the lizard with the sun mark. Is it possible that she is Sailor Sun? I'll have to keep an eye on her. There are just too many similarities for it to be coincidence. If it is her, that might explain why my heart beats the way it does now. I need to find out more. Maybe she can help me find the girl I'm looking for. Sailor Sun… who are you?

"Miss, Dunbroch."

"Aye." Merida sighed, standing as straight as her back would allow.

"You need to project. In this world if you cannot speak well you will be appear as a billiard." Her instructor chastised.

"So." She shrugged. "They can think whit they want."

"There is no room for that kind of thinking. You must be conscious of how others see you at all times."

"'At soonds exhaustin'."

"Yes, it is." her instructor nodded flipping through her book.

"'En wa am ah daein it?"

"Because it is expected of you and everyone in your status. It's just how it is."

"Weel 'en mebbe things shoods change."

"Enough now." the instructor sighed. "From the top now. I would like to give your mother a good report by the end of the day."

"Ugh."

This was her life. Even after school she came home she had more studying. This kind of study wasn't mathematics or history. It was etiquette, language, and how to be a snob. She hated it. Every day she came home and dealt with the same annoying instructor that thought she was so important and treated Merida like a three-year-old. All she wanted to do was head out to the stable and ride with Angus on the property. Or even better head out to the country and just let loose with nothing but her horse, her bow, and her bravery.

Ur lack thereof. She sighed. Ah don't e'en hae th' coorage tae teel mah parents abit mah powers, ur 'at Ah don't want tae gang alang wi' thes train wreck.

Once when the torture session was done, Merida took off sprinting to her room changing into her worn jeans, tank top, turquois plaid button up, riding boots then grabbed her bow and rushed for the stables.

"Ye ready Angus?" she smiled at her great stallion who whinnied happily in reply. "'En let's go."

Not bothering to grab a bit or a saddle she hopped up grabbing his main and taking off. She was most at home on the back of her stallion roaming the outer reaches of the property. This is where she was meant to be and she knew it. All she wanted in life was to be out here with her horse roaming freely. But life didn't work like that. If she could she would run away and just go wander in the wilderness with nothing but what the forest provides. In the end, all she can hope for was that she would be wed off to a man who at least understood her position and would let her have a portion of the freedom she craved. But she didn't even have a say in who she would wed. her mother would decide that. And if her mother had her way the man she would marry would be a possessive ass. It wasn't that her mom wanted her daughter to suffer, she just thought that a girl didn't need to be out in the wilderness like Merida preferred. She thought a girl belonged in the home taking charge of the house hold and making sure everything was in order. This wasn't for the benefit of the man however, this was all for everyone else. Merida was expected to host many upon many parties and a show had to be put on for that. A show that Merida was not willing to put on. So she would most likely end up with a man that would rein her in. Merida had to revel in her freedom for as long as she could manage.

Yet there was something that plagued her free time. Thoughts of what she saw today, and of those people with the intense auras. Who were they?

Unable to out run the thoughts, she had Angus pull up by a stream where he could get a drink and she could lay back in the grass.

The most intriguing of the two had to be the girl with the shiny blonde hair. Her aura blazed like the sun. Burning an intense gold, reaching out to everyone with it cleansing light. But that wasn't the intriguing part. The will-o-wisps that would beckon her all the time were swarming her. There were so many around her she wandered if the girl felt them. And worst of all as soon as their eyes locked a vision suddenly assaulted Merida. In the vision, everything was bright gold as a massive palace towered over everything. For this girl to trigger all three parts of her powers she had to be important.

"Who are ye?" the fiery red head wondered aloud.

"Aha, I knew it." Rapunzel sighed staring at her laptop.

"What's wrong?" Pascal asked from her bed.

"I thought I recognized the uniform that girl was wearing so I checked it out, and I found it. She goes to Arendelle Academy. It's an extremely prestigious prep school."

"Great so now we know where to start." Pascal yawned. "Now how about going to bed."

"Fine, fine. I'm just so excited. I really hope she's a Solar Guardian." Rapunzel beaming crawling under the covers. "I can't wait to talk to her tomorrow."

The next day after her studies, Rapunzel and Pascal rushed to the academy hoping they could catch the girl before she went home. However, they weren't having much luck. Or rather none.

"I wonder if we missed her." Rapunzel sighed.

"We probably did. You did take longer with your astrology lesson than normal." Pascal agreed.

"I had a lot to catch up on." Rapunzel defended.

"Well in any case it looks like we're gonna have to try tomorrow."

"Alright let's go to the café then."

Merida had just finished with her archery practice and was heading home when she saw her.

It's er, 'at gurl wi' th' golden aura. She gaped.

As the girl walked away a wisp would pop up with each step she took.

Ah should jist ignore it. She thought, tittering. But she is headin' in th' way Ah need tae go, an' mebbe if Ah follaw th' wisps they'll teel me whit is so special abit thes gurl.

With that resolve she snuck after her. Hiding behind whatever was appropriate to keep the girl from knowing she was following her. In her defense, she didn't know whether this girl was friend or foe and she doesn't trust easy, so it makes perfect sense to stalk someone like this. Or at least in her mind it did.

They ended up at the little café next to the library. She waited till the girl took a seat somewhere before going up and getting her own drink, a hot apple cider. This way if the girl spotted her she could use the ruse of just buying a cup to cover what she was really doing. When she got her cup, she sat close enough to listen in on what the girl was saying yet staying out of her immediate line of sight. And what she heard was a bit inconceivable.

"I don't know, Pascal. I mean how would we even know who this princess is if we saw her?" the girl said down to her little lizard.

"We'll know. She emits a very powerful kind of energy." The lizard said back quietly.

Th- th' lizard is talking! Merida had to muffle a cough that pressed against her lips.

"Okay, and she'll know where the Solar Golden Crystal is?"

"Most assuredly." The lizard nodded.

"But all the Solar Guardians need to be found first?"

"Yes. It won't be safe to bring the princess out into the open until all her guardians are gathered to protect her."

"And how do we find all of them?"

"I have an informant that knows what they look like. He'll scout them out and tell me when he's found them."

"When do I meet him?"

"Not yet, not until all the guardians are found."

"What? How does that make sense?"

"If you were to meet him now it wouldn't be good. His presence could cause problems for the guardians."

"Then why are we trusting him?"

"Because he is a guardian."

"What?"

"Yes. He realized he was a guardian a long time ago. But the seal on the darkness hadn't been broken yet. There was no urgent need for the guardians or the crystal then."

"Why didn't he gather them when he became a guardian, get a jump start on the enemy."

"There were still so many variables that we had to consider. For instance, if all the guardians were gathered and the princess found to early it could harm her."

"How so?"

"The princess is special. She isn't just a girl born in this time she is a reincarnation of herself from an ancient era. My informant is the key to her memories. Even seeing him could trigger her to remember and that could be deadly. She needs to remember slowly otherwise it will short out her brain."

"Okay, got it. So informant meeting princess bad. But then why can't I meet him?"

"Because there is a chance that one of the guardians could be the princess. For all we know she could have been reborn a male and be a prince."

"Okay so no matter how I look at it it's best if I meet your informant after we've found the other guardians. Then we better get a move on."

"For now, we have no new leads. So, all we can do is wait."

"Alright. Then in the meantime let's go have some fun."

Ma heed hurts. Merida inwardly groaned. Princess, guardians, darkness, crystals, an' a talkin' lizard Thes las micht jist be mair a bampot than Ah am..

Meanwhile, in the darkest part of the world, a boy with a dark heart was knelt before his dark queen as she gazed into a mirror. She watched as the Stabbington brothers were destroyed by the extremely intrusive Sailor Sun.

"My queen." The boy said still looking to the ground. "I believe this girl may have information on the princess. You did say that the princess was protected by guardians such as this did you not?"

"I did." The queen agreed, pondering. "You may be onto something Sky."

"I could bring her here my queen. I know her real identity. Without her transformation she will be powerless. We could bring her here and use her to get answers. And even if she has nothing one of the other guardians will have something. They will come to her rescue and we will capture them as well."

"Well thought out, Lord Sky." She cackled venomously. "Very well, go. Retrieve the girl and make her tell of where the princess is."

"At once my queen." In a swirl of wind he was gone.

"The prince of that accursed golden kingdom, she will be mine and the crystal along with her." the queen snickered watching the show play out in her hand mirror.

Still she was interested in this girl. So when she got up to leave, Merida followed her right next door and into the library. Now Merida wasn't one for reading, so this wasn't a place she went often. And in all honesty, she didn't get the hype. By nature she was a loud person when she was comfortable so this was the last place she wanted to be. Still she needed answers.

About an hour into her new location she began to question her motives. All she was doing right now was watching this dainty little girl read and all she could think was how she wished she was home riding out with Angus.

Hoo can anyone spend thes lang wi' their beak stuck in a book? She moaned still watching the girl from behind a shelf. Och stoatin noo i'm gettin' stared at. Grab a book an' act natural.

Thankfully she wasn't there for much longer. About fifteen minutes after she started pretending to read, blondie got a phone call.

"Hello?" she answered. "Oh, yes I'll be outside the library. Kay thank you. C'mon Pascal, time to go."

She gathered her things walking casually to the door. Merida didn't even bother to put the book back as she followed, staying at least three shelves back so the girl wouldn't see her. But something wasn't right. The closer they got to the door the more uneasy she felt. Something bad was coming, she could sense it.

Her inner warning became known once the girl set foot outside the door.

Standing there, arms crossed, smirk wide stood a boy with gravity defying red hair and brown eyes. He wore an eastern officer uniform that was black in color with orange lining and buttons. Though he didn't look all that scary the aura he was putting out was beyond intimidating. You didn't need to have Merida's powers to see that. Though with her powers she could see he had a blazing orange aura but it was smothered in a black mist with no chance of escape. In short, this guy was bad news.

"Hello Sailor Sun." he chuckled.

The blonde girl tensed involuntarily taking a step back.

"Who are you?" she demanded.

"I'm the one that created the Stabbington brothers. The most loyal of her majesty Queen Gothel's lords, commander of the heavens; Lord Sky." He bowed mockingly. "And you my dear, I must ask to come with me."

"I'm not going anywhere with you." She gritted reaching for her brooch.

"I'm afraid I must insist." He snickered holding out his hand.

Merida didn't know what was happening, but she didn't like what this guy was putting off. And she knew that this girl didn't stand a chance. She doubted she even stood a chance. But still she had to do something. Without hesitation, she whipped out her bow, notched an arrow and threw herself through the door. Quickly taking aim she let the arrow fly barely sticking around long enough to see as it embedded itself in Lord Sky's shoulder.

"C'mon." she cried grabbing the blonde's wrist and taking off down the road.

She didn't know where she was going. She didn't know where was safe. All she knew was she had to get that girl out of there. So she did the one thing she never wanted to do, and swore after today she never would; she followed the wisps. She put what little trust she had in the blue flames and ran after them as they lit her way.

"Where are we going?" the girl asked.

"Jist troost me." Merida pleaded, not knowing what else to do.

She could still feel the red head following them.

"Alright, I trust you." The girl said.

She said it with conviction and certainty Merida all most tripped out of shock. This girl didn't even know her but she was willing to put her life in her hands. This wasn't something that Merida had ever experienced. Which is why she couldn't let this girl down. She had to do whatever she could to make sure she wasn't harmed.

Ah will protect 'er.

No sooner had she sworn this, did the guy suddenly appear out of thin air right in front of them.

"Going somewhere girls." He drawled.

"Damn it." Merida hissed notching another arrow.

"Like I'd let you do that again." He hissed waving his hand to the left.

A gust of wind with the strength of a tornado slammed into Merida sending her sprawling across the deserted street.

"Oh no." Rapunzel gasped.

"Rapunzel hurry up and transform!" Pascal urged.

"Right." She nodded holding a hand over her brooch. "SUN CESLESTIAL POWER, MAKE UP!"

"Damn it." Lord Sky gritted watching as she was engulfed in a pillar of golden light.

Whit is 'at? Merida wondered weakly.

"The guardian of love and dreams, Sailor Sun has arrived." Rapunzel cried glaring at Sky. "I don't know what you want with me but I won't let you hurt an innocent girl who was just trying to help me. In the name of the sun, I'll punish you."

"Even if you have transformed I won't let you get away." He growled. "You will be coming with me."

"I don't think so." She argued summoning her frying pan. "SUN SOLAR FRYING!"

She threw the sizzling energy at the boy expecting this to be over quickly. But to her horror he summoned another bout of powerful wind that deflected the attack sending it right back at her. With only a short pause of shock she used her hair to wrap around a lamp post to pull her out of the way.

And that was what he was waiting for.

"Got you now." he smirked holding out his hand.

She didn't have time to dodge mid-air as a mini tornado wrapped around her holding her in place.

"Ow." She cried out as the wind began to slice at her skin.

"Consider this payback for being so troublesome." Lord Sky barked. "Now like I said you will be coming with me."

"NO!"

Before he could turn another arrow embedded itself in his leg. He groaned glaring at its origin. Standing on shacking legs arrow notched and ready was Merida glaring with all her fire ready to release.

"You brat." He snarled.

"No! Get out of here run!" Sailor Sun cried.

"Loch heel. Aam not gowin anywhaur." She snarled back. "Ah don't know whit is gowin on, but am not sittin' back an' lettin' others make decisions fur me. Ah won't run. Ah won't be a coward. Ah won't lit ye hurt 'er!"

As she yelled, the energy around her began to get hotter and hotter until it was hissing around her. And that was when it happened. Her hair fluttered up revealing her forehead and the emerald mark of a circle with an arrow coming out of the top right.

"She is one." Pascal cheered letting his sun mark glow as he summoned what he needed. "Here take this."

Merida's quick reflexes kicked in as she caught what the lizard threw at her, staring bewiled at the little wrist buckle with an emerald gem encrusted in the center with the mark of Mars painted on it.

"Now call out, Mars astral power make up. hurry." Pascal urged.

"Whit?" Merida squawked.

"Just do it! Sailor Sun needs help!"

"Don't even think about it." Lord Sky roared throwing more razor wind her way.

"NO!" Sailor Sun cried.

At the last second Merida rolled out of the way getting only a skin graze on the shoulder by the edge of the attack.

"Ah hae nae cloo whit is gonwin on, but i'll do whatever it takes." She gritted holding up the wrist buckle. "MARS ASTRAL POWER, MAKE UP!"

Before Sky could launch another attack, emerald flames engulfed Merida's body, transforming her. In no time at all the flames were snuffed out and there she stood a Solar Guardian. She wore a sailor suit like Sailor Sun's only her skirt was a deep green and the bow on her chest was yellow with an emerald brooch. She wore green combat boots to match and her gloves were white and came up to her elbow while her hair flared out with its bouncy volume. Still of her forehead was the emerald mark of Mars, proof of her power.

"Whoa." Sailor Sun marveled.

Merida's blue eyes shot open giving an intense glare toward Sky.

"Ah am th' bonnie guardian, who fights fur loove an' bravery. Ah am Sailur Mars." She called placing a fist on her hip and her other fist over her chest. "In th' nam ay Mars, I'll punish ye."

"Damn it not another one." Sky snarled.

"Lit Sailur Sun go reitt noo." Mars snarled getting into a fighting stance.

"I don't think so." He smirked snapping his fingers.

The tornado grew smaller, closing in on Sailor Sun making her scream.

"Stop it!" Mars cried.

"I will, if you be a good girl and don't do anything stupid." He promised. "Just let me take the girl and we'll end it here."

"Ah don't hink so, loch ah said aam tired ay standin' aroond." she hissed as the air grew hot once again.

She lifted her hand letting it fall in an arch. As it went emerald flames were left in its wake. When she was done she grasped the flames with both hands before her right pulled back with her middle and pointer fingers pinched against her thumb like she was drawing back an arrow.

"MARS, WARRIN, FIRE SEEKER!"

When she had her target locked on she let the flaming arrow go, it whistled through the air before impaling itself into Lord Sky's gut as he cried out. He fell to his knees, his tornado losing its power dissipated freeing Sailor Sun. He gasped for breath, coughing up blood, while looking between the two Solar Guardians.

"This… isn't o-over." He panted before disappearing in a swirl of wind.

"Sailor Mars, are you okay." Sailor Sun called running to her knew ally.

"Aam fine, whit abit ye. He cut ye up bonnie bad." Mars worried looking over her knew friend.

"I'll be fine don't worry about it so much." Sailor Sun smiled. "Here let me heal up that cut."

"How-" before she could say much else Sailor Sun began wrapping her hair around her wounded shoulder. "W-whit are ye doin'?"

"Just relax, you trust me, right?" she smiled.

Mars could only look away and blush nodding her head in affirmation.

"Okay. Flower gleam and glow…"

The guardian of bravery listened entranced by her song as she watched her hair start to glow. When the glow reached her wrapped shoulder, she felt warmth and peace wash over her. When the song ended, she removed the hair and found that her cut was completely healed.

"Wow." She marveled.

"Good now that's all out of the way, I think it's time we get introductions out of the way." Sailor Sun smiled willing herself to turn back. "Hi, I'm Rapunzel Corona, and this is Pascal. If you want to change back all you have to do is will it."

Nodded, Merida did just as she said going back to her school uniform.

"Aam Merida Dunbroch." She said.

"It's really nice to meet you Merida." Pascal chirped.

"I'm so glad you're one of us." Rapunzel chered.

"One ay 'oo?"

Before more could be said Rapunzel's, phone went off.

"Oh no, my body guard is going to kill me. Tell you what," she reached into her purse taking out a pen and grabbing Merida's hand. "Here's my number. Call me later tonight and we'll explain everything, and meet me at the café after school tomorrow. There so much we need to talk about."

"Um, aye." Merida nodded feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Kay, I'll see you tomorrow. Call me tonight kay." Rapunzel smiled running off. "I hope we can be best friends."

Merida watched her go, a blush creeping up her neck.

"… Friends, huh?" she smiled looking down at the digits scribbled on her hand. "Aye, I'd loch 'at."

It may have been because of the over whelming flow of emotions she was feeling right then that she didn't notice that there was someone watching them the whole time from an ally way.

"Rapunzel, so you are Sailor Sun. Interesting." Rider smiled to himself as he left the scene.

Now there are two guardians, and the girl from the café really is Sailor Sun. I'll have to keep my eye on her and this new one. I should wait and see what they're about before I go asking for help… Rapunzel, you have such a lovely voice.

I love Merida. Did I already mention that? Well I do. Again, really sorry about her accent if it wasn't right. Let me know what you think and who you think the next Solar Guardian will be. And remember, fanfiction authors need love too. Love you guys.
