Sailor Moon Unity
Episode 1
Part 2
Breathing in and out hard, trying desperately to recover their breath with her hand on a wall. Wamea had no idea where she'd even got to. She was so desperate to escape that cafe she just ran on blindly.
After some moments, she'd finally regained enough energy to stand upright. She became stunned as she saw that she was beside, of all things, the Theatre!
Looking at it with wide eyes, she cautiously walked around the corner and saw the hustle and bustle of people going in to enjoy a live show. Seeing them all with happy smiles and joy made her remember so long ago...
XXXXXXXXXX
"Wow! Mama! That show was amazing. I loved it!" Wamea smiled up to her mother.
Her caring parent nodded to her as she held her hand and told her, "I'm glad to hear it, darling!"
As they walked home, the little girl said, "That story was so wonderful! I'd love to see it again!"
"We'll see what we can do!" Her parent told her, then looking in the distance, she said, "Mama's working on a story now that you might be able to see acted one day!"
"Really!?" The little girl exclaimed, amazed.
"Yes! It's a great one, you'll love it! It's a story about a wonderful bluebird, your favourite creature, right?"
"Yeah!" The little girl replied, holding her hand strongly with excitement and love, saying, "I can't wait to see it, Mama!"
"I'm glad," she smiled. However, as they began to make it through the crossing the road-!
COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!
COUGH! COUGH!
"MAMA!?" Worried for her, the young girl saw her mother falter with her hand to her mouth, coughing badly and shuddering.
She was like this for some long, tense moments until finally the fit eased, and as it did, her mother told her, "Sorry darling..." Then, retaking her hand and getting back up, she told her, "Come along now, let's go home!"
The little girl nodded, and as she held her mother's hand, she heard her say, "I'll make your favourite for us to eat tonight, Oyakodon!"
Wamea was quiet before, before replying, "Okay..."
Squeezing her hand, her mother said, "I'll be alright, darling, don't worry." Then, as they made it to the other side, she told her, "I promise, you'll hear my story one day!"
Again, all the little girl did was nod as they made their way home together...
XXXXXXXXXX
Gripping the hand that held her mother tightly, the crowds before her happily continued enjoying their bubbles of happiness. Wamea's eyes became misty as she said, "It didn't happen, though... Mama... you never finished it!"
Then, with her face in her hands, she continued, "I never got to see it be a play! Your bluebird story, I always wanted to see it!"
Then, looking on at all the people again. She felt so distant from them, so alone. Her own version of the story had been rejected as a play by her school, she'd been kicked out of the drama club... and she was sure no one would want to hear the tale as a poem anyway.
This pain, making her heart twist and break inside, made her ask, "I'll never make it in this life with my writing, will I?"
"You wanna change your fate then?"
"Huh!?" Spooked, Wamea turned around, and there she saw standing before her was a girl with long red hair dressed in an odd black lolita dress with a black head scarf.
With a single wave, the girl smirked and said, "Hi, ho!" Then, putting her hands behind her back in a playful manner, she said, "I couldn't help but hear your little confession; you down like a little bluebird, huh?"
Hearing this teasing tone in her voice, Wamea soured in seconds, trying to recover face, rubbed her eyes and walked past the girl, saying, "I don't need more bullying today! And I'm not joining some weird hippy cult!"
As she passed her, she heard the red-haired girl say sinisterly, "Oh, I'm no hippy!"
Wamea didn't care, though; she'd had enough! She was going to go home and-!
KLINK!
"Agh!"
Suddenly, she was stopped in her tracks! Something hard and heavy stopped her movements, turning around. She then saw that dark iron chains somehow extending out of her wrists! Seeing them with alarm, she saw the red-haired girl holding them tightly. Stopping her from moving!
Looking at them with wide eyes, she saw they were connected to shackles that were tied around her wrists! Seeing them, with wide eyes, she cried out, "What is this!?"
"Your Chains of Fate!" The red-haired girl told her; as Wamea looked at her with wide eyes, she approached her and said, "Ya see! I'm a little somethin' called a Chain Raider, and I'm here to offer you the chance of a lifetime!"
Then, as she finished walking over, she held the chains more tightly, gripping them in her hands and making them twist between her fingers. Wamea felt like she was now looking into the eyes of a snake. Her fear of the girl and what these chains were had stopped any thoughts from entering her mind, as she heard her ask, holding her chain twisted hands around her own shaking ones; entwining them, "Are you tired of the pain and regret that are binding you down in this life that's filled with nothing but suffering?"
Wamea didn't know how to respond to this question. What was she supposed to say to something like that?
The girl continued smiling and told her, "If you are, come and find me in Prince Shiba Park later tonight when the moon is shining high! And there, I will give you the power to change your fate!"
XXXXXXXXXX
"I'm home!"
Making it through into the living room, Usagi was smiling brightly, having a good day out with her friends!
"Oh, you're back now, Usagi!"
Then, coming in from the kitchen, was the matriarch of the family, Ikuko Tsukino. Dressed in a long-sleeved pink shirt and long blue skirt with her ever favourite apron. She asked, tidying her long purple locks of hair back. "You had a good day at school?"
"Yep! I hung out with Ami-Chan and the others. I needed a break after the math test we had today!" Usagi said happily, sitting down on the couch.
"I can imagine!" Her Mother laughed, and then she asked her brightly, "And how do you think you did?"
"Urgh!" Clearly dreading thinking about it as she sweated, Usagi answered honestly, "...I did my best?"
…
An awkward silence entered the atmosphere after a little bit. Her Mother sighed and said, "Well, as long as you get over thirty, I'll be happy."
Usagi looked down, feeling bad; it wasn't her fault that maths was one of her bad subjects. It was-!
"Don't worry about it, Mom!"
Then, walking into the Living Room himself, Usagi looked to see her younger brother, Shingo Tsukino.
Looking at him, he was no longer the bratty boy he'd been. Instead, now he was growing up fast. He'd entered his teenage phase and was now Fourteen years old, wearing his black middle school uniform.
He'd gotten a little taller now, and if she squinted, he was even beginning to look a little handsome, too. (Though she'd never tell him that!)
As he walked in and passed Usagi, he grinned, "I'll always be the one to bring in the good grades; there has to be one high-level achiever in this house!"
Usagi felt something inside her snap. Mad, she told him, "Oh, shut up, Shingo! There's more to life than good grades!"
Laughing as he went to the kitchen to grab a snack, Shingo told her, "Prove that first, dummy!"
As he disappeared, Usagi gripped her fist, thinking how she wanted to pummel him into the ground for-!
"Usagi!"
Seeing her Mother talking to her again, Usagi, becoming awkward, replied, "Uh, yeah, Mom?"
Looking serious, her parent told her, "Though we all agree there is more to life than grades, you have to remember this last stretch you're doing will affect what possibilities will be open to you." Then, as she headed back towards the kitchen, Usagi stared after her and heard her say, looking at her one last time, "You have to do your best now. Remember that, alright?"
Upon hearing this, Usagi was quiet. Then, with a small nod and smile, she replied, "Okay, I'll keep trying to do my best, Mom."
Her Mother smiled, and with that, she headed into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
As she left, Usagi remained quiet. Then, leaning back and looking at the ceiling, she couldn't help but remember Rei's words again.
"Your future is already set! You'll be the Queen of Neo Tokyo soon, won't you? You don't need to do anything!"
Those words hurt somehow, deep down. Usagi didn't understand why, though? Wasn't it good that she didn't have to worry about the future? That it was set in stone, and she just had to wait for it to come.
Imagining the silhouette of Crystal Tokyo in her head, for some reason, it was just all in shadows, not bright and shining as it was supposed to be... with a hand over her eyes, she couldn't help but laugh sadly and say, "I'm so dumb, why aren't I looking forward to it?"
…
Unbeknownst to the troubled blonde girl, a tiny glittering golden figure was peaking into the Tsukino home from the garden window. Seeing her look so sad like this pained the pink-haired girl as she held a hand to her chest. Was there anything she could do to aid her...?
XXXXXXXXXX
"Oh, that was a good dinner!"
Falling backwards onto her soft bed, Usagi felt content with the food and, most importantly, "And I don't have to study tonight!" Tomorrow was Sunday, meaning she'd get some well-deserved R+R.
Even though those brought some comfort, she was haunted by thoughts of the future... it just wasn't leaving her mind at all. She'd been thinking this over and over for the last few months. She just didn't get it. Why was this happening now when-!
"Urgh...just stop, I've had enough!" She didn't want to think anymore! So, grabbing her bag, she brought out the papers she'd collected after her encounter with Wamea. Looking at them, she said, "I gotta think about how I'm gonna get these back to her!"
However, thinking back, she remembered when Ami had suggested she leave them with the owners of the Cafe; maybe Wamea might come back for them, and she wouldn't have to worry about it.
Though this would have been easier for her, she couldn't bring herself to leave them with the owners. For what if she didn't come back? Would they have just thrown these papers away?
Looking over the words in the poem again, she felt sad thinking of all the effort Wamea had put in. Only for it all to be tossed aside like they were nothing... for looking at the poems, though some of them she didn't understand. Looking over it all, she couldn't help but say, "How could she think of her words as garbage or those other girls?" Holding the papers to her chest, she smiled and said, "These are some of the prettiest poems I've ever read."
In particular, the one about the bluebird she liked the most, flying high to find happiness in the endless sky. The meaning of it couldn't help but bring a smile to Usagi's face, her eyes closed. She couldn't help but say, "I'd love that, to fly away like that... feeling so happy." Then, looking over the words of the poem again-!
GLITTER!
She quickly noticed something glittering to her left! Her eyes widened, and she saw the golden glittering glow again that she'd seen in the park! She moved fast and quickly pulled back her curtain, and there she saw-!
"Ah!"
A tiny glittering golden sphere of light, it gasped with a startled female voice!
Looking at it, she cried out, "It's you! You're the one I saw at-!"
"I'm so sorry!"
Then, to her shock, the glittering gold light flew away into the darkness of the night!
Shocked, Usagi cried out, "Hey! Wait, come back!"
But the tiny light didn't! Instead, it just continued to fly away!
Seeing it go, Usagi felt urgency grip her heart tightly; she couldn't let that light get away from her! Stuffing the papers in her bag again, she ran to the door!
XXXXXXXXXX
Yawning, Luna couldn't help but say tiredly, "It'll be nice to turn in now! I could use a long nap after-!"
"Coming through!"
Suddenly charging forward across the landing, Luna hurriedly backed out of the way as she saw startled, "Usagi-Chan!" For indeed, the blonde girl charged straight past her! As she did, she cried, "Where are you going! At this time of night, you-!"
"I can't talk, Luna! I gotta find something!" She called to her, heading down the stairs!
Baffled, the black cat repeated, "Something?"
But she didn't explain as she heard the front door be opened and shut! Hearing this, she knew something must be up, for no matter how ditzy Usagi could be, she wouldn't charge out of the house like this for nothing!
She moved fast to follow after her, to find out what on earth was happening!
XXXXXXXXXX
Shivering, holding her hands close to herself, Wamea could still see them. The chains around her wrists, the dark shackles that were holding her down... what were these? But more than that, around her. She could see other people's chains glittering with warm gold light, unlike her own... they felt so heavy and awful. Why did they have such warm chains and not her?
This wasn't right! Was she hallucinating? However, shaking her head, feeling a chill in the air, she could feel their weight pulling down on her wrists... it was unbearable! But everyone else, when she asked them. They looked at her like she was crazy! This was insane, just what was happening!?
However, she was the only one who would give her answers. Though she loathed seeing her again, she had no choice but to see the red-haired girl who called herself a Chain Raider.
Entering Prince Shiba Park, Wamea walked further in and tried to find any trace of her. Looking up, she saw that the moon was full; she couldn't help but ask, "Why did she want to meet here? Why under the moonlight?"
"Because the moon reveals the darkest secrets we all hide under the surface!"
"Ah!"
Turning around, Wamea then saw the red-haired girl again. With her freckles surrounding her cheeks, she greeted her again, saying with a grin, "Hi ho!"
Gasping, holding her hands to her chest, Wamea demanded, "What! What're you trying to do! Give me a heart attack!?"
Laughing loudly at her reaction, the red-haired girl told her, "Ah, nah!" Then, wiping a tear away, she said, "I just like to have fun before I start working!"
"Working?" Wamea didn't understand her. This girl was driving her up the wall!
"That's right," then taking her dark chains back into her hands again, the red-haired girl told her, "And now, it's time to begin! As I tell you what fate has in store for you! Written in these very chains themselves!"
"What?" Wamea didn't understand what this girl was supposed to read on these dark chains! What-!
GLOW!
Then suddenly, white glowing etched shapes emerged all over her dark chains under the moon's light! As they did, she was shocked!
The red-haired girl, though, only smiled sinisterly and said, "Now, let's do your reading, shall we?"
XXXXXXXXXX
Breathless, making it back to the park. Usagi then decreed breathlessly, "Yep, that's... that's it! I'm done... no more gym... for a week!"
"Count...Count that... as two!"
Surprised, Usagi then saw, "Lu, Luna!" Seeing her look totally haggard, she asked, "You followed... me here!"
"Of, of course, I did!" The black cat told her! Then, as the two of them rested a little more, recovering their energy, she told her, "You spooked me, running out of the house so suddenly!" Then, looking around the park, she asked, "Just what did you think you were doing? Coming here in the dead of night!"
Quiet as she heard the demands for explanation, Usagi told her, "Well, I saw this glittery gold light shining!"
Looking at her dismissively, Luna repeated, "A glittery gold light?"
Nodding earnestly, Usagi replied, "Yeah, exactly that! I think it's something important!"
Staring at her momentarily, Luna sighed and said, "Well, it must be if it's drawn you of all people out in the dead of night like this."
Annoyed immediately, Usagi demanded, "Hey, what do you mean by that!?"
Shaking her head, Luna told her, "Never mind!" Then, running ahead, she told her, "I'll go try and locate that light you said you saw!"
Amazed she believed her, Usagi brightened and replied, "Thanks, Luna!"
The black cat nodded with a small smile, then becoming serious. She told her, "Now you be careful, and if you find that light, meet me back here in the next hour, okay?"
"Right!" Usagi replied, and then, with that, both cat and heroine were off to see if they could locate that mysterious gold light!
XXXXXXXXXX
…
Wamea remained quiet as the red-haired girl looked over her chains. As she did, she had no idea what the Chain Raider would say. What could she say? What-?
"You're a Mediator."
"Huh?" Distracted from her curious thoughts, she looked at her and asked, "What?"
"A Mediator, I said," then studying her dark chains a little more, she continued, "You're a quiet creative spirit, correct?"
Remaining silent as this description was given to her, Wamea nodded and replied, "Yes, I suppose?"
Grinning, the red-haired girl continued, "You've suffered the great loss of someone precious, and you wish to grant their wish and have your talents shine for all the world to see, right?"
Looking down, Wamea looked uncomfortable, saying, "You make it sound narcissistic."
"Hey, nothing wrong with a bit of self-love!" The redhead laughed, then looking to her chains again, she told her, "But sadly, you're frustrated, no one pays attention to you, and what effort you've put in has been met with nothing with rejection, right?"
Upset hearing this, Wamea looked down. Biting her lips, she said, "... Yeah, I hate it! I hate it so much!"
"I sympathise," Came the response. However, how sincere that was left to question. But before Wamea could ask her anything, she heard the mysterious Chain Raider tell her, "Now, I'm gonna tell you what fate has in store for you in the future!"
"You can find that out?" Wamea asked, shaking.
"Oh, yeah!" Then, gripping her hands around the cuffs of her shackles, she told her, "By reading this!"
SHINE!
Then, projecting from within the middle of Wamea's bindings, a single broken black star shape in two halves! Seeing it, the spectacled girl's widened in horror, and her heart wrenched as her red-haired reader began, "I'm so sorry..."
XXXXXXXXXX
Usagi looked around frantically, with her hand on her chest. Then, quickly, she returned to the park spot amongst the trees, where she first caught sight of the golden light.
Carefully observing the trees, she thought again of the panicked female voice she heard. As she did, taking a deep breath, she tried a new tactic, "Hey! Little light, are you here? Please come out!"
However, there was nothing but silence, not giving up. Usagi tensed her hand and tried again, "Look, I'm not angry with you! I just want to talk; you don't need to be scared of me; I wanna see you!" Then she tried one last time, crying desperately, "Please!"
…
Again, nothing, Usagi became saddened. Looking to the floor, she sighed and said, "I guess not then," with that, she turned to leave to look elsewhere, but after a few steps-!
"Um, excuse me!"
Stopping in her tracks, Usagi quickly spun around, and there she saw it again: the golden light! However, it was floating in mid-air, this time before her, no longer hiding!
Watching on in amazement, she saw it gradually come closer to her as it hovered. Then-!
Dim...
The glow around it faded, and there revealed to her was a tiny figure! A nervous, trembling girl with short pink hair with yellow tips on the ends in a white dress with a layered skirt made of yellow, red, and blue with yellow, flat shoes on her tiny feet.
Amazed, she saw her floating in the air with wings by her feet and beside her wrists. Usagi then noticed the gold crescent moon in her hair with trailing pearls lining around it; as she did, she asked, "You're-?"
"Greetings!" The pink-haired tiny girl replied, with her hands taking up the sides of her skirt; she curtsied quickly, shaking and, with her eyes closed, revealed, "I am the Messenger Sprite of the Moon Kingdom."
Baffled, Usagi repeated, "A Messenger Sprite?"
"Yes," she replied, then standing from her greeting, she opened her purple eyes and said, "My name is Iris." Then, with a nervous smile, she said, "Um, I'm pleased to meet you!"
XXXXXXXXXX
Hearing the awful truth revealed to her, Wamea shook her head left and right, and then she uttered fearfully, "No! That can't be true!"
Holding her wrists, the redhead replied, "I'm afraid it is!" Then, seeing the broken dark star projected between her wrists, she continued, "You can feel it too, can't you? Don't try and deny it, its the truth!"
Feeling her heart wrenching inside, seeing the awful dark, broken star that shined ominously, Wamea gasped, tears coming to her eyes. All she could do was shakily say as she realised the truth, "I'm never going to be able to... I'll never-!"
"Yeah! You're never gonna shine with your little bluebird!" The red-haired girl revealed; then, as she grinned at her menacingly, she gripped her shaking hands and enforced the awful truth by saying, "You're never gonna get anywhere with your writing, your words have no power, you can never move anyone's heart in this world!"
Her heart shattering hearing these words, Wamea gasped and then cried out, shaking her head, "No! No, no, no...!"
VOOM!
Then quickly, she was released from the red-haired girl's grasp as she held her head with both hands! Wisps of darkness were multiplying all around her, becoming a thick Miasma that emitted from the dark chains clasped tightly around her wrists!
However, trapped within the agonised turmoil that was overtaking her heart and mind, Wamea remembered her mother's words,
"I promise, you'll hear my story one day!"
That promise had never come true! She'd never hear its end, and no one would listen to what she had to say! It was pointless, worthless, she was nothing and-!
"AAAAGGGGHHHH!"
The darkness overwhelmed her, seizing her mind and heart into its deepest clutches! Then quickly, the wisps that she was polluted with fled from her body and reformed into a new being before her that grew bluish grey feathers with an angry red tuft on its chest with a black broken heart symbol in its centre, and opening its arms wide, it revealed its long, deadly wings and grey bird-like claws as it shouted into the night sky its name, as its red eyes cried lines of red down its cheeks,
"NNNNAAAARRRRPPPPYYYY!"
Smirking, seeing this dark creation come into existence, the red-haired girl uttered, "Wow, looks like your grief has taken on the form of a real loudmouth, huh?" Then, looking at Wamea, she asked, "You wanted to be heard that badly?"
However, the spectacled girl didn't respond as she looked ahead lifelessly with dull eyes.
Chuckling, she replied, "My bad! You're in no condition for conversation with me anymore," Then, moving her fingers-!
SNAP!
GLOOM!
Suddenly, Wamea's body was swallowed and placed within a dark sphere, casting her still form into shadows. She curled into the fetal position and appeared to have fallen into a dark slumber.
Seeing this, the girl smiled and said, "I'll have my Captain talk to you now, as you dream!" Then, looking at her new acquirement, she told her, "Now, let's go, Narpy! We gotta harvest others who share the same pain as your initiator!"
The monster nodded, and with that, the red-haired girl flew on high, with the dark sphere behind her, and Narpy flew with her so they could commence the next phase of her job!
XXXXXXXXXX
…
As an awkward silence filled the air, all Usagi could do was stare at Iris.
The little sprite became nervous again and looked down sadly. She said, "Um, I'm sorry... was that too forward? I apologise, for-!"
"So cute!"
It was clear that was not the reaction that the sprite was expecting. Iris looked up to Usagi. She was starstruck as she looked at her with gleaming eyes, with sparkles all around!
Puzzled, Iris asked, "Um, pardon?"
"You're so cute!" Usagi exclaimed, then cupping her in her hands, looking at her all over, she said, "I've never seen someone like you before! With those wings and long ears, you're one of the cutest things I've ever seen!"
Feeling her hold her like this and seeing the excitement in her eyes, Iris paused. Then she laughed awkwardly and replied, "Um, thank you... I wasn't expecting praise like this!"
"You're welcome!" Usagi smiled, then excited. She continued asking, "So you really came from the moon?"
Nodding, Iris replied, "Yes, that's right!" However, sadly, she said, "But when I awakened, the Kingdom was completely destroyed; its all in ruins now..."
Seeing her become so sad, Usagi looked down and replied, "Yeah, it would be... my past self and everyone failed back then; we didn't win against Queen Beryl."
Iris looked up at her, and then she asked, "You know about the ancient war?"
Usagi nodded in reply.
With a hand to her heart, Iris momentarily quiet in wonder, then asked, "Then, does that mean you're...Princess Serenity?"
Surprised she'd come to that conclusion, Usagi answered with an awkward laugh, "Ha, ha, yeah, I was once..." However, she had to admit sadly, "But now I'm-!"
"AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!"
Hearing loud screams of fear, Usagi turned and cried, "What's that!?"
Iris shuddered herself and replied, "I don't know!"
"We need to check it out!" Usagi replied, then as the sprite floated out of her hands, she told her, "Let's go, Iris-chan!"
Surprised, the sprite replied, "Oh, yes, of course!" Then quickly she flew after her, as the two of them went to see what was happening elsewhere in the park!
XXXXXXXXXX
"NNNNAAAARRRRPPPPYYYY!"
Hearing this horrible screaming cry, Usagi, arriving at another point in the park, quickly covered her ears and asked, "What's causing this...awful-!"
"AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!"
Then, in horror, Usagi quickly saw that the other people in the park around her were screaming in pain, all of them covered in awful wisps of darkness when-!
"Oh, no!?"
Then Iris, arriving beside her, saw with Usagi, who became just as horrified as her. All the screaming people quickly collapsed! As they all did, the disturbed heroine asked, "What's caused this!?"
Shaking her head, Iris replied, "I don't know!?" However, shuddering, seeing the darkness covering the unconscious, people added, "But it's terrible whatever it is!"
Nodding, Usagi, putting her hand to her transformation broach, told her, "Let's go find out!" With that, she charged forward to find the source of the awful, monstrous cry causing this disturbance! With Iris following closely behind her!
XXXXXXXXXX
"NNNNAAAARRRRPPPPYYYY!"
As more and more people fell to the terrible tune of Narpy's song, the red-haired girl smirked and said, floating in the air with the monster some distance ahead of her, "Seriously, if this is enough to make these clods fall to their feet, I bet they wouldn't be able to stand the amazing force that's Marilyn Manson!"
Then, seeing the numbers that had all fallen unconscious, she added, "This could prove to be a good harvest!" Turning to look behind, she said to her unwitting helper, "Your sorrow's got a real sucker punch to it! I can't help but admire it, Wamea-Chan!"
However, there came no response to her voice as Wamea continued to slumber within the dark sphere, and the monster she manifested continued to unleash its dreadful song upon the helpless public!
…
Hiding behind the trees with Iris and hearing the red-haired girl's words, Usagi became shocked. "Wamea-chan?" Then, her memories flashed into her mind. Horrified, she realised, "The bullied girl from earlier today!?"
"I can't believe it!"
Hearing the tiny sprite's terrified voice, Usagi asked her, "What's wrong, Iris-chan?"
Shivering, the sprite replied, focusing on the monster, "That creature, how can a Tocsin be in the human realm!?"
Baffled, Usagi repeated, "Toc-sin?"
"It's a creature that's created from the shadows of pain and grief! They exist only in the realms of the Astral Plane! It shouldn't be possible for one to form in reality! Just what could have...!"
Quiet listening to Iris explain the creature's existence to her with a wary, shaking expression. Usagi repeated, "Pain and grief?" Then, looking at the creature again, she heard-!
"NNNNAAAARRRRPPPPYYYY!"
Unleash its grief-stricken song, as she did, seeing it make more people collapse. It hurt inside her own heart with a terrible piercing ache! However, having an idea of what had caused this, Usagi realised one thing, "If it's hurting..." She dropped her bag and put a hand to her broach, declared with determination, "Then I can heal it!"
With those words, she knew it was time! Lifting it, she cried, "Moon Eternal, Make up!"
SHINE!
Then, in seconds, Usagi transformed into her Eternal form in a dazzling display of light, stars and feathers. Becoming the sublime Senshi of love and justice, Sailor Moon, with her angelic wings sprouting from her back!
Seeing this transformation, Iris, amazed, asked, "Your Highness!? You're a Sailor Senshi now!?"
Dropping her transformation pose, Usagi awkwardly told her, "Iris-chan, please don't call me 'your Highness', that kind of makes me feel weird!"
"Oh!" The sprite answered, then looked sad. She replied, "My apologies!"
Waving it away, Usagi told her, "It's okay, don't worry!" Then, concentrating on the enemy before them, she started recovering her firm resolve, "Now c'mon, we gotta stop them!"
Iris nodded, and with that, Usagi and her left the shadows!
XXXXXXXXXX
Seeing enough people on the floor, the red-haired girl, satisfied, said, "Okay, that's enough, Narpy!" Then, with that, the Tocsin stopped her wailing as she did. It was time for the next phase, "Now let's just see how many we can-!"
"STOP RIGHT THERE!"
Baffled, the girl turned and asked, "Who's-!"
"You have a lot of nerve disturbing people on a beautiful moonlit night like this!"
Quiet listening to these words, she looked around, baffled and finally saw who was saying this. Then, quickly unimpressed at the blonde idiot and her winged tacky get-up, she simply uttered, "Huh?"
"People come to this park to cherish the tranquillity and safety that is nature, and I won't let you poison it with your twisted song!"
Then, as the white-winged idiot pointed at her like this, the red-haired girl asked, "And...who're you to stop us exactly?"
"I am the pretty guardian, who fights for love and for justice!"
Her hands in the air, she turned them about as she moved and pointed them up to her; she finally revealed her identity, "I am Sailor Moon!" Then, with determination, she added, "And in the name of the moon, I'll punish you!"
…
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!"
As she burst out laughing like this, Usagi became unnerved and then angry. She demanded, "Hey! What're you laughing at!? What-!"
"Cause that's rich!"
The red-haired girl proclaimed, "You think, you're gonna punish me? You haven't got a chance! Not against I, the great Chain Raider, Junonia!"
Hearing this name, Usagi repeated, "Junonia?"
"Yeah! Now..." Then the Chain Raider, looking at her monster, said, "Narpy, get this idiot out of the way!"
The monster nodded, quickly flew down, and went to intercept the guardian!
Seeing the winged monster coming, Usagi got her Eternal Tiare ready, and immediately, she cried out her technique,
"Silver Moon...!"
GLOW!
The weapon lit up with her almighty healing power, and as it shone brightly, with dazzling feathers and golden light surrounding her, she spun and finished,
"Crystal Power Kiss!"
SHINE!
Immediately, Usagi's power surrounded and wrapped Narpy in her warm healing energy, the atmosphere overflowing with feathers and light! The creature stopped in its tracks and-!
"RRRRAAAAGGGGHHHH!"
Screamed against this holy illumination as she did. Usagi told her, "Wamea-chan! It's alright now, I'm gonna save you! You're gonna-!"
"NNNNAAAARRRRPPPPYYYY!"
BLAST!
Then, in alarm and horror, the monster broke through Usagi's power with a powerful dark burst of red laser fire!
Horrified, she quickly moved and-!
KABOOM!
It blasted the space behind her! If she'd been any slower then-!
"Your Highness!?"
Quickly flying over to her, Iris asked her worriedly, "Are you alright!?"
Hearing her worry for her, Usagi replied grimacing, "I should be!" However, looking at the monster, she saw it had lost a lot of feathers to her technique. But instead of healing her, she snarled at Usagi, and her red, tear-stained eyes only seemed to hurt more!
Seeing this, Usagi didn't understand! Why couldn't she help her!? Even with the power of the Silver Crystal! Why couldn't-!
"As I said!"
Her attention was drawn back to Junonia; Usagi then heard her say, "You haven't got a chance!"
Getting up and gripping her weapon tightly, trying to keep calm, Usagi's mind raced! What could she do now!? How could they stop Junonia and heal Wamea! What was she to-!
"But, hey!"
Her attention was drawn straight back to Junonia again, and Usagi heard her say, "And right now is a good time to see who else shares Wamea-chan's pain! Narpy!"
"NNNNAAAARRRRPPPPYYYY!"
The monster unleashed its voice again, but the song was different! Usagi could feel it! This was-!
"Urgh!"
Then, to her surprise, one of the fallen people started to get up! Then-!
"Urgh...!" "Urgh...!" "Urgh...!" "Urgh...!"
"Urgh...!" "Urgh...!" "Urgh...!" "Urgh...!" "Urgh...!"
More and more started to rise up! However, all of their eyes had the same red tear-stained pattern Narpy did! Seeing this horrified Usagi, shaken, she didn't know what to do! What was she to-!
"Bet you weren't expecting this were ya?"
Looking back to Junonia, Usagi heard the sinister redhead declare with a deadly light in her amber eyes, "Now, how bout this! By the power of the Chain Raiders, I'll now punish you!"
Then, immediately at her command and another change in tune to Narpy's song, the controlled red-eyed people started to charge towards Sailor Moon!
The horrified warrior looked at the mind-controlled horde with terror as she couldn't think of what to do! But she needed to act fast, or these people and the poor suffering Wamea would be lost to the darkness that the sinister red-haired Junonia had brought with her!
(Just a small update, sorry guys changing the our first villain's name! Sorry about that! I will endeavour to keep it to this new one going forward. So she will no longer be Rosato but Junonia, okay? Thanks guys!)
