Here's Chapter Three. I know it doesn't seem like a long time since I put Chapter Two up. But I've been having trouble writing this one. Also, thanks to those who read my little help message. I finally made sense of what this website was telling me. Anyways, enjoy this chapter. I really like this one.
Disclaimer: I do no own Sailor Moon. I own the new enemy and any character in this story that was not in Sailor Moon Anime or Manga.
Chapter Three:
The New Enemy Revealed
The morning after the concert, Rei called an emergency meeting that would take place later that afternoon. She also contacted Seiya. She figured that they should be in the know since they were back on Earth. Seiya also wanted to let the others know why they had returned to Earth. At the moment Makoto and Ami were with Rei at the Hiawaka Temple, getting things ready for the meeting. Ami was researching with Luna. Makoto was in the kitchen making treats for the meeting.
Last night Rei had a dream about an upcoming battle with people that had an aura of stars. She also sensed that a new senshi would be awakened. She could feel the energy drifting around Tokyo, finding the rightful owner. She realized that the owner would not be found unless she was in mortal danger. At that moment Rei could feel someone staring at her. She turned toward the kitchen, but Makoto was still in it. She looked out the window and saw a girl around her age staring at her. Her blonde hair was almost white and it was in a long braid that was about a foot above her ankles. Her eyes were a pretty light blue color. She was wearing a green knee length dress and a black shrug. She only looked at Rei for a second more then she bent down and picked on of the gorgeous lilies and walked away. Rei could barely think about the incident when Makoto walked out of the kitchen and asked Rei to sample her food.
The morning passed quickly for Rei who was still thinking of the mysterious girl. In no time at all did the other senshi start arriving at Rei's place. The outers were the first to arrive. Hotaru walked in first and gave Rei a hug before sitting down at the table and began eating the snacks Makoto had prepared. Setsuna entered next closely followed by Haruka and Michiru. Minutes before the meeting started Minako rushed through the door and a few minutes later Usagi finally arrived, with a few seconds to spare.
Rei put the business of the mysterious girl in the back of her head. She began telling the other senshi about her dream.
"Last night I had a dream about a battle between us and a new enemy. They had the aura of stars among them. I also sense the presence of a senshi that has not made herself known yet," explained Rei.
"I feel the same way, too," said Michiru. "I checked the Deep Aqua Mirror, but I didn't get anything out of it."
"I consulted the fires, but nothing," said Rei in disbelief.
"Speaking of that," Seiya interjected, "we actually returned to Earth because we got similar feelings while on Kinmoku."
"What about your planet?" Usagi asked, clearly concerned for Kinmoku and Princess Kakyuu.
"We're still rebuilding, but Princess Kakyuu said that she could handle it on her own for the time being," Yaten explained. "She thought that this matter was more urgent."
The meeting dragged on and on. They were discussing battle plans, theories, and what Ami had discovered in her research, which wasn't much. The meeting ended when everyone was tired, Hotaru had even fallen asleep, and they ran out of food. Everyone sleepily stood up from the table and walked out of the temple and went home. The next day was a school day and no one wanted to be late. Rei reluctantly stood up and walked over to her room. She changed into her pajamas and went to sleep. Her dreams revolving around the new enemy that was yet to come.
The next morning she woke up groggily and got dressed for school. She went to a different school than the others. She went to a private Catholic school for girls only. She quietly walked to school that day. Her mind still pondering on her strange feelings. She hadn't even noticed that she had gotten school until she ran strait into a wall. She fell backwards and landed hardly on the concrete. Her best friend Kasumi, who had seen her fall, rushed over to her and helped her up.
"Are you okay, Rei-chan?"Kasumi asked with worry. Kasumi was a very nice girl. She had brown hair that was to her shoulders and brown eyes. She wore glasses with little hearts at the edges.
"I'm alright," Rei managed to say. "I just wasn't paying attention to where I was going," she walked to class together and sat in their home room seats, waiting for the teacher to arrive. About five minutes later, the teacher walked in. Her name was Sister Marina, and yes, she was a nun, black outfit and everything. She slowly walked into class and stood in the front of the classroom.
"Class, today we have a new student," she said. "Her name is Mori Miyuki. She comes from Tokyo Catholic High School. Please give her a warm welcome."
In walked the girl, Mori Miyuki. Rei gasped. It was the same girl she had seen yesterday at her temple. The one with the long white hair and the light blue eyes. The girl who had been staring at Rei when she wasn't looking.
"Konnichiwa, minna. I am Mori Miyuki and I am very excited about coming to this school. I have wanted to go here for a very long time. I hope I will make lots of friends," she said to the class. Rei could tell she would be welcomed into the popular group in no time. Not to say that the popular girls were mean. Rei was even really good friends with them. But this girl was something new. She was beauty.
If there were any boys at this school they would be all over her, thought Rei.
At lunch time, Rei saw that her assumption had been right. Miyuki had already been welcomed into the popular girls' group like they were welcoming an old friend. She and Kasumi went to sit with them to get to know Miyuki a bit better.
"So, Miyuki, were there boys at your old school?" one of the girls asked. Her name was Nao. She was the most popular girl in school. She had almost waist length dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. She had been going to this school all her life, which would explain why Rei was such good friends with her. She was obsessed with boys, which you would expect if you went to an all girls' school.
"Yes, there were a lot of boys at my school," Miyuki explained. She had soft voice. It wasn't too deep and it wasn't too high. She had the perfect sound to her voice. It sounded like a violin playing a beautiful melody. Rei felt a slight connection to this mysterious girl. It was like she was specifically looking for her.
"Did you ever have a boyfriend?" asked another girl, Yuuka. She had black hair that was some inches past her shoulders. She also has brownish skin. She is part Philippino. Her eyes were almost black.
"No, my parents would never allow it. That's why they liked the idea of coming to this school," answered Miyuki. The bell rang signaling that lunch was over. Fumina and Rei walked back to class while the popular girls continued to ask Miyuki questions.
The rest of the day was mostly boring. Rei and Kasumi, trailing the popular girls as they were bombarding Miyuki with questions. When school was over, the popular girls practically followed Miyuki home. Rei walked home with Kasumi. They were studying at her house that day.
"Let me change into my priestess clothes!" Rei called to Kasumi as they entered the temple. She hurried to her room and got changed. When she came back she found Kasumi lying on the floor unconscious.
"Oh my God, Kasumi!" Rei screamed. She knelt down next to her best friend trying to find out what was wrong with her. She grabbed the communicator and called the others. She told them to come to her place as soon as possible.
Rei checked Kasumi's pulse. It was faint, but there was still a pulse. She was still breathing. That was a good sign. In no time at all the inner Senshi ran through the door. When they saw Kasumi on the floor, they immediately knelt down to help Rei in any way they could.
"She has a pulse, and she's still breathing," Rei informed them. "I went to go get changed. When I came back I saw her like this. I didn't hear anything. No scream, no fight, no struggle, nothing."
The others tried all they could to figure out what was wrong. In the end, Luna said that she would stay at the temple and see if she could figure it out.
Rei had a feeling that this incident had something to do with the enemy. She was glad that Luna was staying here. She knew everything about moon legends, past enemies, basically anything that had to do with the Senshi's past lives.
That night, Rei had some trouble getting to sleep. She got up to go consult the fires. She quietly slid open the door, just in case Luna was asleep. She was. Rei sat by the fire and started chanting quietly, as to not wake Luna up.
Who is this new enemy, and what are they up to, Rei thought to the fire. A picture formed in her mind. It was a picture of twelve shining jewels sitting on a golden pillow. Her little vision ended.
"Well, that didn't make any sense," Rei muttered to herself.
"What didn't make any sense?" asked a voice behind Rei. She slowly turned towards the voice. When she was facing the person, she could see that it was a Sailor Senshi. But her fuku was different. The skirt was short in the front and billowed behind her, and it had cap sleeves that were sheer. The bow was still the same but a little longer, and there wasn't one on her skirt. This Senshi's skirt was white, and her bow and collar were light blue. She also had short light blue tights under her skirt. Her choker was light blue and had a diamond on it. Instead of gloves, she wore wrist gauntlets. They were white and had a thin light blue stripe at the top. Her tiara also had a diamond on it. Her hair was white and it was in a long braid. Her eyes shone like a diamond.
"Who are you," Rei whispered to the stranger.
"I was hoping you would ask that," the stranger said. "I am Sailor Diamond. Soldier of Peace and Serenity! I am here to take your Gem Crystal."
"What's a Gem crystal?" Rei asked, holding her communicator behind her back and letting it listen to the conversation that is being heard by the others.
"A Gem Crystal is a special birthstone that is carried by the Senshi that is born in that month," Sailor Diamond explained. "You see, I need your Gem Crystal to regain my full power. I was once a very strong Senshi. But I lost in the war, and was taken in, along with the other Gem Senshi, by our Ruler. She told us that if we could collect the Gem Crystals, we would regain our powers."
When Diamond was finished with her speech, Rei heard Ami whisper to her that they would be on their way. She decided to transform, and get rid of this enemy.
"Mars Crystal Power, Make Up!"
Red light flooded the room. In Rei's place stood Sailor Mars.
"I am Sailor Mars. Soldier of Passion and Flame! And I will chastise you!" Mars introduced herself, trying to stall till the others got there.
"Oh, I'll chasrise you," Diamond mumbled. "Inferno Whirlpool!"
A whirlpool of fire sped towards Mars. She dodged it just before it hit the wall.
"Mars Flame Sniper!" The attack hit Diamond right on. She was knocked out, but Rei knew that wouldn't last very long. She used this time to wake up Luna who was surprisingly still asleep. When Luna was awake, Rei told her to run and find Usagi and get her here as fast as possible. A few minutes after Luna left, Diamond started coming around.
"I'll definitely do it this time," Diamond mumbled to her self. "Inferno Whirlpool!" This time the attack was stronger so Mars was unable to dodge it. It hit her and she fell to the ground. She couldn't get up because she felt so weak.
"Time for me to take your Gem Crystal!" Diamond shouted with excitement. "Gem Extract!" Diamond's hand was extended towards Rei's chest. Rei could feel something trying to get out of her body. She tried to hold it in. After twenty seconds of mentally fighting with her crystal, it finally came out. She fell back to the floor unconscious. Her transformation faltered. She was half way Mars, half way Rei. Her fuku changed to ribbons and after a few seconds, she changed back to Rei. A diamond floated towards Diamond's hand. She took it and cheered for herself for her accomplishment. "Now all I have to do is give this diamond to Lady Bloodstone."
"You will do no such no such thing with Rei's diamond!" A voiced shouted to Diamond. She turned to see who it was. Standing in the doorway was Eternal Sailor Moon. "How dare you take Rei's precious diamond. That stone allows her to live and move through life. I've had enough of you and your evil. I'm the Soldier of Love and Justice. Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon and in the name of the Moon, I will punish you."
"We are here to punish you, too," said a voice behind Sailor Moon. She stepped aside to reveal eight other Senshi.
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!" said Sailor Mercury. A stream of water went strait for Diamond. She fell against the wall and the diamond slipped from her hand and landed on the floor.
"That's it! Ai, rise!" Diamond shouted. Instantly, Kasumi who was still lying unconscious on the floor turned into a youma that looked like bull with diamond horns.
"You were the one who attacked Kasumi!" Hotaru exclaimed.
"Yes, I had to have a youma just in case I ran into trouble," explained Diamond as she bent down to pick up the diamond. In that second, she disappeared.
"She got away with Rei's diamond!" screamed Makoto with furry.
"I think we should focus on the youma right now. We can deal with Rei later," Ami shouted. "Sailor Moon, do your thing!"
"Right," Sailor Moon answered. "Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!" The attack hit the youma. It began to shrink back into Kasumi. She was still unconscious. Michiru moved Kasumi to the guest bedroom so when she woke up, she wouldn't see all the damage that was made to the room. Everyone destransformed. Usagi knelt beside Rei's unconscious body.
"Ami, what did they do to her?" Usagi asked.
"Judging by her injuries, I'm going to stay she's still alive. She's just stuck in this time. Without her birthstone, she cannot age." Ami explained.
"If she can't age, wouldn't she still be able to move?" Usagi asked.
"Let me rephrase that. She can't change. Her teeth can't get whiter, her hair can't get longer. Her body can't change. To make sure nothing changes, her body froze her energy. It can't make her move. She can't make it move. I think I might be able to communicate with her if I get the right equipment," she explained once again. "Luna, will you help me research? I want to find out just who this Sailor Diamond is."
"Sure I'll help you, Ami," Luna replied. She hopped onto Ami's shoulder as she walked to the office. The others stayed where they were, staring at the girl who would never age. At least until they got her Gem Crystal back.
I'm sorry I killed of Rei, but I have a habbit of killing my favorite characters. I don't know what's wrong with me. If you don't lke my bad habbit, I'd advise you to stop reading. I have also just realized that Rei was the first one attacked in the S season as well. Hmm, I don't think I did this on purpose. Just to let you know, I am only going to be killing three characters. Rei is one of the three if that makes you feel better.
Please Reveiw, and thanks for reading!
