Chapter Two “So you found Mizuno-san?” Hime asked. “She’s very nice. She said that she would bring all of the inners to the game center.” “Setsuna-one-san said that she would bring the outers with her.” Sakura said. “Since when were you so close to someone so much older than you?” Ritsuko asked. “Uh, she’s always watched out for me since I was a little baby. She’s my guardian senshi. We all have guardian senshi. Miaka-chan, your guardian senshi is Sailor Mercury. You two were trained together, and that’s why your attacks are associated with water. Same with you, Ritsuko-chan, and that’s why your attacks are associated with fire. Hime-chan, you were trained alone, but your guardian is Sailor Moon. Don’t you guys have any memories of it at all?” “I have faint memories,” Miaka said. “Setsuna-one-san has pretty much been there for me all of my life. She taught me everything there is to know about being a senshi. “Well then, aren’t we supposed to go and meet them now?” Ritsuko asked. “Yeah, let’s go. And, Hime-chan?” “Yes?” “Watch out for Haruka-san. She doesn’t like people getting close to Usagi, especially the ones that she doesn’t know,” Sakura cautioned. “Alright then!” Haruka pounded her fist down on a table in the Crown center cafe, “So why do you wait until now to appear? We’ve already been through so many battles that I’ve lost count!” she demanded. “Well, there was so much skirmish in other galaxies and we were held up there. We just finally met up again right before we came here. Were you aware that there was siege on your planet ,Uranus?” Ritsuko retorted. Haruka was rendered speechless. “Tell everyone what happened that brought you to Earth, Sakura-chan,” Setsuna instructed. “Energy was being collected to restore Galaxia to her former self. Sailor Aluminum Siren walks the Earth stealing energy from victims to help revive her.” “Galaxia! no! How can that be? She’s good again! no, not now!” Usagi exclaimed. “Usagi!” Michiru scolded, “How can this be?” she asked calmly. “We don’t know, but all of the Anima Mates wanted to make up for failing her, so they’re trying to bring her back to her evil self,” Hime said. “Dammit, this is no good,” Makoto said. “Calm down, Makoto-chan. Sakura-chan, have you any idea where they might strike next?” Setsuna asked. “I do!” Hime said. “Someone can tell the future other than Rei-chan?” Minako asked. Rei turned angry, “She’s probably just bluffing.” “They’re going to strike next in the Jyuban Shopping District,” She went on to describe the youma. “Damn, I’m outta here. I’ll catch you guys later.” Rei ran out of the room and onto the sidewalk. “Why does she dislike me?” Hime asked. “She just likes to be the one and only to do something and she probably feels threatened,” Usagi explained knowingly. “Does anyone know where Mamo-chan is?” “The last time I talked to Mamoru-san, he was heading toward his apartment. He didn’t look too good, Usagi-chan,” Ami said. Usagi jumped out of her chair, knocking it over, and ran out the door, “I’ll see you all later! Tell me what happens!” She then left, tripping over her feet as she ran. “Well, I guess that concludes this meeting then,” Michiru said. She extended her hand, “I’m sorry about Haruka, she tends to be a bit wary of strangers, but she’ll come to like you, I promise. Ritsuko took Michiru’s hand and gave it a slight shake, “We’ll see you around then, I guess.” “Hey, Hime-san, I was thinking about going shopping to lighten my mood, wanna come?” Minako asked. “Sure, but I only have about 1,000 yen.” “Well, hey, that’s alright! I make tons of money babysitting my brother. you can have some of it!” “Hey, great!” The two walked out into the direction of the shopping district. “Ritsuko-chan, Miaka-chan, we should relaly go and make rounds through the town and see if anything looks funny, don’t you think?” Sakura asked. “We’ll go with you,” Ami and Makoto said, “I don’t know why everyone else left. They don’t seem to be taking this very seriously,” Ami continued. “Well, Usagi-san seemed very worried about Mamoru-san. Would he happen to be Prince Endymion?” Miaka asked. “Yes, it would, do you wanna meet him?” Makoto asked, “Sure, wouldn’t hurt to know who else is fighting with us!” Ritsuko said. The five girls walked down to Mamoru’s apartment complex and started climbing the stairs to his apartment. The three new girls smoothed down their uniforms and raked their fingers through their hair. “Well, here we are,” Ami said, ringing the door bell. “I think he’s rather attractive, but I don’t know what you’ll think.” she added, blushing slightly. Mamoru opened the door, “Hey, Ami-san! Makoto-san! Who are your friends?” “Mamoru-san, is Usagi-chan here?” Makoto asked. “Yeah, come on in, I was just about to make some tea. Do you want any?” “Yes, thank you,” Ami said sweetly. “Usagi-chan, Is Mamoru-san alright? He doesn’t seem all that great, maybe we should leave,” Ami whispered to Usagi when she entered the room. “No, no, it’s alright, stay. he needs to know about what’s going on anyway.” Mamoru walked back into the room. “Mamo-chan, these are the new senshi that I was talking about.” “Hi, I’m Sailor Celestial, or Miaka. I’m pleased to meet you!” Mamoru smiled, then turned to Sakura, “And who are you?” he asked. “I’m Sakura, or Sailor Cheron.” “Ah, so you must know Setsuna-san very well? I’ve always wanted to know more about her, but she always seemed so serious.” “Well, that’s the way Setsuna-one-san is, but she looks out for me, like I try to look out for her.” “Mamoru-san, I’m Sailor Comet, or Ritsuko if you like.” “It’s nice to meet you all! If you don’t mind, I’m going to take a quick nap. I’m not feeling all that great.” “Mamo-chan?” Usagi asked, concerned. “Usa-ko, I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Bye.” The six girls walked out onto the street where they encountered a terrible sight. All of the people that had been walking all collapsed onto the ground, motionless. A youma stood at the end of the street, chuckling at it’s work. The senshi wasted no time. Moon Eternal, Make UP! Mercury Crystal Power, Make UP! Jupiter Crystal Power, Make UP! Cheron Galaxy Power, Make UP! Celestial Galaxy Power, Make UP! Comet Galaxy Power, Make UP! “Stop right there!” Sailor Moon shouted. “ A pretty soldier in a sailor suit, I protect against evil, Sailor Moon!” “From the gods of ice and water, I shall punish you in behalf of my host planet, Sailor Mercury!” “Guarded by the gods of thunder and lightning, I shall punish you on behalf of my host planet, Sailor Jupiter!” “Guarded by Pluto, I stop evil dead in its tracks. I shall punish you on behalf of my galaxy, Sailor Cheron!” “I may be shy and quiet, but I know how to put evil in its place. I shall punish you on behalf of my host galaxy, Sailor Celestial!” “From the galaxy of comets, I have the power to blast my enemies away. Sent forth to protect my galaxy, Sailor Comet!” “I love your speeches guys! You gotta tell me how you came up with those!” Sailor Moon said gleefully. “Sailor Moon, get on task!” Sailor Comet yelled. “Sorry!” The youma spoke, “I gave you the chance to do your little introductions. Now, it’s my turn. I’m going to spread sickness throughout this town and this earth until the entire human race is wiped out, and Galaxia will ascend and rule again!” “Sailor Moon, maybe that’ what Mamoru-san has. You have to go help him. Now!” Sailor Celestial shouted. Sailor Moon ran towards Mamoru’s apartment. The other four senshi stood in battle stance, ready to fight. The youma fired its attack. Celestial Tsunami Wave Plunge! The youma was untouched, and blasted Sailor Celestial up against a tree, knocking her unconscious. Comet Tail Attack! A blast of fire surrounded the youma, but its attack broke through and smashed Sailor Comet into a wall. Mercury Aqua Rhapsody! Jupiter Oak Evolution! The youma deflected the attacks back against Sailor mercury and Sailor Jupiter. “Mina-san!” Sailor Cheron cried. She pulled out her staff. Cheron Screaming Ice Fire! The attack just bounced off of the youma. “Dammit! He’s unbeatable! What am I supposed to do!?” Tears gathered in the corners of Sailor Cheron’s eyes, “I’m not trained enough! I need help! Come on, guys, get up!” The youma fired another round of attacks that were just about to hit Sailor Cheron. Star Serious Laser! The attack knocked the youma into a building. Star Gentle Uterus! Star Sensitive Inferno! Star Serious Laser! Cheron Screaming Ice Fire! The youma stood up shakily and shouted, “I’ll be back! And all of you will pay!” then disappeared. Sailor Cheron turned around, “So, I suppose you’re the Sailor Starlights.” The Starlights looked shocked. “How did you know who we are? We’ve never met you!” Sailor Star Healer shouted. “I’ve watched you, before you came here. You’re all very powerful.” She held out her hand, “Comrades?” Sailor Star maker returned the handshake, “Comrades.” Well, will you watch over the others? I need to get Sailor Moon. I’ll be back.” Sailor Cheron took off at full tilt towards Mamoru’s apartment. When she reached his apartment, she pounded on the door frantically. “Usagi-san! Usagi-san!” Usagi answered the door, “Sailor Cheron, what’s wrong?” She asked urgently. “Sickness--youma,” Sailor Cheron panted, “We need help right away at the park. All of the others are down. How’s Mamoru-san?” “Worse. He won’t open his eyes, he’s burning up, and his breathing is very shallow.” Sailor Cheron grabbed Usagi by the shoulders, “Usagi-san, if you want Mamoru- san to get well before he dies, we need to defeat this youma, but there’s only us and the Starlights.” “Starlights? The Starlights are back?!” “Come on, Usagi-san! Let’s go! Call the other senshi and tell them to meet us there.” Sailor Moon and Sailor Cheron ran down to the park where all of the other senshi were transforming. Venus Crystal Power, Make UP! Uranus Crystal Power, Make UP! Neptune Crystal Power, Make UP! Pluto Crystal power, Make UP! Sun Galaxy Power, Make UP! “This is a tough youma everyone! Combine your attacks and maybe we can get it!” Sailor Moon yelled. Venus Love and Beauty Shock! Space Sword Blaster! Submarine Reflection! Dead Scream! Star Serious Laser! Star Gentle Uterus! Star Sensitive Inferno! Cheron Screaming Ice Fire! Sun Eclipse Dry Freeze! All of the attacks combined and defeated the youma, turning it into a pile of dust. Slowly, all of the people in the street stood up, looking confused. The other ten senshi ran to the fallen ones. Sailor moon lifted Sailor mercury up, “Mercury, are you alright? You look like you got it really bad.” “I’ll be fine, as long as the youma was defeated,” Sailor Mercury said weakly. Sailor Comet and Sailor Celestial stood shakily, :We need to patrol the park if we want to stop anything else that Aluminum Siren throws at us,” Sailor Celestial whispered in pain. “Celestial, are you sure that you’re up to it?” Sailor Neptune asked. Sailor Uranus poked Sailor Neptune in the ribs, “Why are you being so nice to them?” she whispered. Sailor Neptune didn’t respond, and Sailor Uranus looked hurt. “I say we all un-transform until all of us are back to full strength,” Sailor Pluto said. “Good idea,” sailor Uranus un-transformed and hurried out of the park “Michiru-san, what’s wrong with Haruka-san?” Hime asked. “She has such a bad temper! Give her a few hours to come around.” Michiru responded. Usagi looked around for the Starlights, but they had mysteriously disappeared. Seiya, I have so much to talk to you about. Why did you leave?” “hey, you guys, why don’t we go down to the game center? I’m sure that Motoki- san is there, and I can introduce you guys!” Minako exclaimed. Makoto laughed, “Just make sure that you stay away from my Motoki-san. He looks like my ex boyfriend.
