Chapter 3: Zoffy and Meiou Setsuna
Setsuna and Hotaru are staring at the sky.
"Setsuna Mama, What are you thinking?" Hotaru asked.
"Hotaru, Nothing. It's just I have some bad memories in the past."
"About what Haruka Papa and Michiru Mama killed us to earn Galaxia's trust?"
"Hime chan, Do you forgot they told us it's just part of a plan? I didn't even blame them or something."
"I know, but today you almost ignored me for the day, Setsuna Mama."
"I was busy, The assignments are starting to pile up, so I'm unable to stay with you got a long time."
"It's ok, Setsuna Mama, Take your time."
"But I actually have a concern, I was wondering if I could have a partner following me to protect all of you." Setsuna asked.
"Haruka Papa and Michiru Mama weren't your partners?"
"Sorry for making it not clear, Hotaru. What I mean, is if Haruka and Michiru were in danger, and my powers may not even work on the enemy. Just an assumption. I know Dead Scream could work on most of the villains, but in case if there is an evil villain that is vulnerable to my attack, I would be in trouble. Including you, Hotaru and Small Lady." Setsuna sighed.
"More like a bodyguard, I assume?"
"Sort of, Hotaru."
"If you could find a bodyguard, then we would be even safer, then we don't have to be afraid of everything."
Setsuna was thinking of whether she needs to find someone to protect her, in the past few years, she has to fulfil the duty of guarding the time gate. But of course, she didn't really participate much in the battles, and she remembered she had to sacrifice her life on saving Haruka and Michiru from the heliocopter explosion. Leaving them to fight Mistress 9. But it was her duty, she must save them. She knows.
"Hotaru, just leave me alone for a while. Please do your homework. I will come downstairs later."
"Alright, Setsuna Mama."
In the Land Of Light, Seven and Ultraman are sitting at their room.
"Seven, Haruka is a good person when you first met right?"
"Yes, brother. Haruka chan is a nice person."
"But, I think I remembered what King said, he offered another person?"
"What person?"
"Besides Michiru, Haruka, they mentioned Sets and Hotaru?"
"I did remember Haruka mentioned Hotaru and Setsuna. And King had assigned our older brother to be her partner."
"Hmm, I wonder what is brother Zoffy doing."
Zoffy is putting his documents to the drawer in storage.
"Come in." Zoffy said as he heard someone knocking on the door.
Ultraman and Seven are greeting him.
"What's the matter, you two, didn't you see I'm busy?"
"Nothing, It's just like, want to have a short chat with you."
"About the Sailor Senshi, brother Zoffy, do you remember who is Setsuna?"
"Yes, Meiou Setsuna, why?"
"King offered us a holiday to meet Haruka and Michiru, but I wonder if you could visit Setsuna?"
"I should ask King." Zoffy said.
Zoffy then met King in the top of the tower, King was looking at the soldiers marching.
"King."
"Zoffy, what's the matter?"
"About the meeting last week, I remembered you mentioned Meiou Setsuna to me."
"Yes, I told you she was the oldest of the senshi and also she is the most powerful senshi, for her partner is you."
"I wonder if I could go and meet Setsuna."
"You can go, I assume Seven and Ultraman are with you?"
Seven and Ultraman then got out from their hiding place, and bowed to King.
"King."
"Please rise."
"So, you want to visit Meiou Setsuna? Zoffy?" King asked.
"Yes, King. Because I never seen her in person, so I may not know how she looks like. And whether she would accept me as her partner."
"Seven, Ultraman. You two could come along with Zoffy. Since you two had met Haruka and Michiru, you can meet them."
"King, understood."
"And is the time free for us?" Ultraman asked.
"Just not for too long, the defense force needs you two."
Setsuna was dreaming when the moment as Hotaru transformed to a child, Nehelenia's copies are about to attack her, the outer senshi were unable to move a muscle. As they about to kill her, A flash of light appeared, it was a human, Who has yellow eyes, With some dots on his chest, Red Stripes , a metal mouth and his face was made with netal. The figure turned his head to the Outer Senshi.
"Who are you?" Pluto said.
"I'm Zoffy, Ultraman Zoffy." The red figure said.
"Zoffy?" Uranus replied.
"Just here to rescue you for those copies, Please take Hotaru to safety!" Zoffy said.
Zoffy then easily beat all the copies with his attacks, the Z beam, along with M87 beam Beta, but of course, The Outer Senshi did managed to finish the copies with their attacks.
"Zoffy, how come you know the girl's name is Hotaru?" Neptune asked.
"Our King had a history with your King."
"What?" Pluto asked.
"There will be trouble in the future, so you girls have to be careful!" Zoffy waved to them and disappeared in a red light.
"Wait!" Pluto tried to halt Zoffy, but he already disappeared.
"Wait!"
Setsuna bolted out of the bed, reaching her hand.
"Why does that figure named Zoffy , knows Hotaru? And why he needs to save me? Or maybe he just save me for no reason?" Setsuna murmured.
"Setsuna Mama, something wrong?" Hotaru asked, opening her eyes a bit.
"Nothing, Hime chan. Just sleep."
"Night, Setsuna Mama." Hotaru closed her eyes and continue to sleep.
Setsuna then drifted to sleep after waking up for a while, she tried to forget what she dreamt.
Next morning, Setsuna woke up and stretched her arms. It was Saturday, she finished her half of the semester, the university had a term break for students in a week, so she has free time to stay with Hotaru.
"Morning, Setsuna." Haruka said.
"Haruka, good morning."
"You woke up late today, Don't you have class today?"
"No, starting today, the university gave us a semester break, so I don't have to go to school."
"So you could spend more time with Hotaru today, Sets." Michiru smiled.
"Yep. I would spend more time with her."
After Haruka finished combing her hair, Setsuna got off stairs as she opened the TV. Michiru then hugged Haruka from her back.
"Michiru, why are you hugging me?"
"Do you think Sets is acting a bit strange a few days ago?"
"What?"
"Hotaru told me she needs some time to be alone."
"Or maybe she is thinking of something else?"
"Is it some past memories?"
"Past memories? How she sacrificed herself by saving us?"
"It's a long time ago, Haruka. You know her, she would forget about these things easily. There's no way she could think about this. It's over." Michiru said.
"We'll ask her if the timing is right." Haruka said.
Zoffy, Ultraman and Seven, the trio landed near the house of the outer senshi.
"The last time I've been here is I visit Haruka chan." Seven said.
"I also met Michiru." Ultraman replied.
"I wonder how Setsuna react to me?" Zoffy asked.
"We got you covered."
Seven is the one who rung the doorbell. Haruka and Michiru heard the noise and opened the door.
Haruka and Michiru stared up and saw Seven, Ultraman and Zoffy.
"Seven san? Who is the person behind you?"
"Haruka chan, he is my older brother, called Zoffy."
After Setsuna heard some noises outside the door, she turned her head and saw Zoffy standing behind Seven and Ultraman. She immediately switched off the TV.
"Haruka, Michiru, who's there?" Setsuna asked.
"Seven and Ultraman, and another person are visiting us, Sets." Michiru said.
"Morning." Seven waved.
"I think I've seen you two, the moment when we revived by Usagi, I saw you two left after bidding farewell to the Starlights , just a glimpse. You two must be Ultraman and Ultraseven." Setsuna said.
"Uh yes." Seven said.
"And are you Setsuna?" Ultraman asked.
"I'm Setsuna. Also known as Sailor Pluto."
"Hi, Setsuna."
"You…." Setsuna stuttered as she saw Zoffy. "Are….Zoffy?"
"I'm Zoffy. What's the matter?"
"How do you know Hotaru, and why do you leave after fighting Nehelenia?"
"I have no idea what you talking about."
"I have a dream of you introducing yourself. And you said you want me to be your partner." Setsuna said.
"Setsuna, that's right. You were the oldest, and because our King had met your King long time ago, and at that time you were not awaken. So you probably don't know about this yet."
"Probably."
"But I haven't participate in the battle against Nehelenia. You probably just dreaming." Zoffy said.
"Sort of. Since it's the first time meeting you, Pluto, let's go up and have a chat."
"You two can come in." Haruka said.
Zoffy and Setsuna are staring the bright blue sky, staring at each other.
"Zoffy, may I ask when do you meet my king?"
"King told me he met King Endymion because there were some shadow monsters attacking them, and they made an alliance."
"No wonder why he knows my King."
"Setsuna, how's it feels like to be like a senshi?"
"Painful, challenging and it's worth for me, I have to help Haruka and Michiru, so does taking care of Hotaru."
"On what you mentioned Nehelenia, who is it?"
"Actually, it was a villain that broke through the mirror, she is the final villain from the dead moon circus."
"Tough opponent, right?"
"At that time, we have to save Mamoru from her, He was kidnapped."
"Mamoru…. Is that Usagi's boyfriend?"
"Wait, you know him?"
"Our King mentioned about him, but why he was kidnapped?"
"It's really hard to explain this to you."
"It's nothing, Setsuna."
"By the way, Zoffy. As an Ultra, how do you treat your brothers?"
"I treat them as the way I should do, Setsuna. Also saving people, like you, I have to sacrifice myself almost every time to save my brothers."
"Like Usagi, have to sacrifice herself to save us and the world."
"I have to save brother Ace, Taro for many times, and I died."
"You died?"
"Saving Taro from birdon(Monster from Taro episode 18), saving Ace from Hipporito ( From episode 26-27 in Ultraman Ace. But thankfully they managed to revive earlier."
"Birdon, Hipporito?"
"Those are kaiju and alien from their series though. It's fine if you don't know."
"Seven and Ultraman were both brave, I didn't believe they already allied the Starlights with Usagi to fight Galaxia."
"It's a mission assigned from King, Seven has the same personality like Haruka, and because Ultraman joins with him as his partner, and because of this, He hold Michiru."
"This is my first time hearing Haruka saying san to a person."
"Seven really likes Haruka, and they got close to each other in a friendship way."
"Because you know Michiru loves Haruka, she would get jealous if she followed Seven."
"I understand that."
Hotaru is walking upstairs and saw the duo.
"Setsuna Mama, who is that?"
"Let me introduce to you, it was Zoffy."
"Zoffy?"
"Yes."
"Your face really look like the men downstairs."
"I'm their older brother." Zoffy said, placing his hand to his chest.
"I see, Setsuna Mama, yesterday, you were telling Zoffy to stop, but he left , right?"
"What, you heard?"
"You were murmuring Zoffy last night. So it was him."
"Hime chan. Sorry about that."
"It was alright. Setsuna Mama."
Zoffy is really sure Setsuna that she has similarities with him, as they are the eldest of their team, they also have to sacrifice a lot during their battles.
"So, Zoffy. Let us have a talk with Haruka and Michiru, shall we?" Setsuna said as she took his hand.
"Setsuna?" Zoffy said and stared at his hand grabbed by her.
"Just promise to protect me and Hotaru, you can be my bodyguard whether I'm in trouble."
"I accept it, Setsuna."
"Just in case I'm in danger, you can save me. Your powers look strong."
"Yes. So if you want me to help, I would be your bodyguard, Setsuna."
"Thanks, Zoffy. Appreciate it." Setsuna smiled and took hands with the older ultra.
Seven, Ultraman, along with Haruka and Michiru stared at them.
"Brother Zoffy and Setsuna really are a pair, right, Seven?"
"Their personality and their powers are similar, now I understand King why choose her as the partner." Seven said.
"The Outer Senshi would be strong with the ultras joining us." Michiru said.
"I agree, Michiru." Haruka replied.
"Haruka Papa, Michiru Mama, Setsuna Mama. Everyone, this would be the start of the new formation of our team." Hotaru said.
"That's right." Setsuna said.
"What's next?" Seven asked.
"Let's play some games!" Hotaru exclaimed.
The Ultras stayed at their house chatting and played games with each other until the sun goes down.
