A Run From Destiny
Chapter Eighteen
The girls and guys went to the temple to discuss what was happening.
"As you already know, we are searching for Kakyuu" Seiya explained. "She fled our home planet and her star led us here, but we have been unable to locate her"
"I haven't been able to locate her either" Serena admitted. "I can feel her presence more strongly some times, but I still don't know where she is.
"Tin Nyanko" Galaxia said coldly. "You will pair up with Crow and find the true star seeds. Do not fail me"
"Galaxia-sama," Tin Nyanko began. "I work better, alone" Galaxia glowered at her and Beryl stepped forward.
"Do not question Galaxia" She snapped. "You will work with Crow and you will find the star seeds" Tin Nyanko glared at Beryl, but turned on her heel and stalked out.
Sailor Tin Nyanko wasted no time and began cleaning out Aluminum Siren's things from her desk.
"I don't want to work with Crow" She muttered under her breath. "She is so useless"
"What are you doing?" Came a haughty voice from behind her. Tin Nyanko turned to face her rival.
"You shouldn't worry about me so much" She taunted. "Unless you can get a Star Seed, you will end up like Aluminum Siren" Lead Crow screamed in frustration out and stormed off.
At the shopping centre, Hotaru decided to open a fortune telling booth, though both Michelle and Amara thought it was a bad idea. Her first customer happened to be Jason who didn't recognise her in her costume.
"I need some advice" Jason said, sitting down. "My twin sister has been hurt so much and I feel like it's my fault. I wasn't there for her when she really needed me and now she is involved with a guy who...is from a different planet. I don't want her to get hurt again" Hotaru was silent for a moment.
"You are sad because the one you love hurt you deeply" She said. "And you feel like you must protect Serena from the same pain. Serena isn't a child anymore Jason. She must be allowed to make her own decisions and have you support her. She'll need you, She'll always need you, no matter what"
Jason smiled.
"Thank you" He replied. Once he left, Serena came, also not recognizing Hotaru.
"I need advice" Serena said. "I think I am in love"
"Love is a magical feeling" Hotaru replied.
"I know" Serena said. "But, he lives far away. He's only here for a short time. What if he leaves and I never see him again"
"If he loves you like you love him, he will find a way to make it work" Hotaru replied. "Trust your heart" After that, Serena decide to go to the radio station. The Three Lights were doing a show. Seiya spotted her watching them and waved.
"I'd like to dedicate this next song to a very special girl, Serena Thompson" He said. He began to sing.
"Our hearts, which are maturing so much,
That they seem to fall
Hiding it from each other
Let's stop that from now on
When saying this single word: "I love you"
My heart engraves the instant
Dawn opens the door
And invites the sea breeze
See me, my heart beats
Hear me, if you send a signal
Touch me, fresh power would fill me
I won't overlook it, I won't give up
Until we reach our dream
So our era will be there very soon
Everyone together!
Not yesterday, not tomorrow
But right this instant
Yes, because even sadness is
a part of happiness"
"That was beautiful" Serena said, once the show was over. She blushed as Seiya pecked her cheek.
"Come on, Lover boy" Yaten said. "We have a press interview"
They were all interrupted by the DJ's scream who had been attacked by Sailor Lead Crow out in the alley. He had his Star Seed expelled from his body and transformed into the Phage, Sailor DJ.
Serena transformed into Princess Sailor Moon, but was attacked by the Phage who threw a razor sharp disk at her which destroyed a nearby vending machine. Sailor DJ fired another disk.
"Jupiter oak evolution" The disk was destroyed.
"Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss" Serena attacked and healed the DJ. Sailor Venus, Jupiter and Mercury surrounded Moon to protect her.
"It's okay guys" She said. "I'm through running from danger"
Behind them Sailor Tin Nyanko took aim at Sailor Moon with a paw bazooka and fired. Seiya ran up to everyone and took the blast for Sailor Moon, severely injuring himself.
"Star Gentle Uterus"
"Star Sensitive Inferno" Healer and Maker attacked. Lead Crow turned to Tin Nyanko.
"What are you doing here?" She demanded.
"I didn't think you were capable" Nyanko replied. Crow snarled at her, but they both teleported away in the phone booth.
Princess Sailor Moon knelt beside Seiya and placed a hand on her shoulder. The power flowed through her and the senshi had to shield thier eyes. When the light was gone, Seiya was completely healed.
"Thank goodness" Princess Sailor Moon said, before collapsing to the ground. She detansformed and to everyone's horror, they saw that she had not just healed Seiya, but she had taken the pain.
"I thought she wasn't going to do that any more" Lita whispered.
"She doesn't have a choice" Setsuna appeared behind them.
"What do you mean?" Seiya asked.
"When Serena prevents you from getting injured in a battle, she takes those injuries on herself, but it is the same for when she heals someone who is hurt beyond belief. If one of you recieved a scratch in battle, she can heal it no problem, but to heal the entire body, she has to use a great deal of energy and pays the price by transferring the wounds to herself" Setsuna explained.
They all looked down at the Princess in shock. She sacrificed so much for them.
