Part Five : Help Arrives, the Constellations Become One
Listen to Rhythm Emotion
"Mom said that she would have some pie for us!" Usagi chimed happily to Chibiusa as the two girls walked home from school.
"She must have meant it for me since I always do my schoolwork," Chibiusa said with a proud smile.
"I do mine!" Usagi barked. Chibiusa gave her future mother a sideways glance. "Sometimes..." Usagi said, putting her head down.
"Oh, wow!" Chibiusa said as she pointed to a building ahead of where they stood. The little pink-haired girl ran to the window where she pressed her face against it to look inside.
"I wanna see," Usagi said as she looked in as well. Inside the building danced a small group of ballerinas, all were dressed in light pastel skirts.
"They're all so graceful, unlike you," Chibiusa said as she continued to watch the group dance. A girl with dark purple eyes and black hair turned her head up in the direction of where Chibiusa and Usagi stood, but she quickly turned around to face where the teacher stood.
Chibiusa's jaw dropped as she saw all of the girls turn on their right leg in perfect unison, the teacher keeping the beat with a cane that she continued to tap on the ground. Usagi and Chibiusa continued to watch, neither of them said anything, as once again the girls dancing in the building amazed them.
"We should get going," Usagi heard a male voice say from a distance away. She turned away from the window to see a handsome man leaning against the building. His black hair was cropped short, and he was dressed in dark brown pants and a black coat. His dark eyes seemed fixed on a point in front of him, and they did not move.
"I guess you're right, they might have known we'd be here and they avoided this area," a new female voice said. Usagi now noticed that a woman was sitting at the man's side. Her dark green hair was cut at her shoulders, and the top half of it was held back and braided while the rest of it was let loose. She wore a short purple skirt and a long sleeved, light purple shirt that buttoned down the front.
The woman rose from her sitting position, and she fluffed her hair and brushed over her skirt with her hands. "The sooner we get out of here the better," she said as she continued to fluff her hair.
"This place does have a very... strange feel to it," the man added. The two turned, and they faced Usagi, who quickly turned back to face the window, and she blushed a bright red.
"I could have sworn they would be coming through here," the woman sounded disappointed as she looked around to check out the buildings surrounding the street. The couple passed Usagi, who turned slightly around to watch them leave. She could no longer hear anything that they were saying even though she wanted to.
"What are you looking at!?" Chibiusa asked her future mother even louder than the last twenty times.
Usagi snapped her head up in attention, and her eyes grew wide as she blushed. "Nothing, nothing at all," she said.
"I still have this uneasy feeling; I'm telling you," Kaichuu said as she walked home with Shakaku.
"Maybe you're just glad that it's Friday. I'm sure there's nothing wrong," Shakaku reassured her friend.
"The sooner we get out of here the better," the two girls heard a woman say. Shakaku looked to identify the owner of the voice when her eyes narrowed. She made a quick move, and she hid herself along with Kaichuu.
"What's wrong?!" Kaichuu asked in alarm.
"Look," Shakaku hissed in a low voice. Kaichuu followed Shakaku's gaze, and she saw the man and woman that Shakaku was looking at.
"I told you something was wrong," Kaichuu said in a whisper.
"Usagi and Chibiusa," Shakaku said with a gasp. Kaichuu also noticed that Usagi and Chibiusa where standing not to far away from where the two people sat and stood against the building. "If those two try anything," Shakaku growled as she cracked her knuckles.
"I'm not showing myself until we have to," Kaichuu told her friend.
"Nor will I, but you don't know what's going to happen with those two," Shakaku agreed.
"This place does have a very... strange feel to it," the man added to the woman's comment. As the two got up and began to walk towards Usagi and Chibiusa, Shakaku's muscles tensed, and she narrowed her eyes even more.
The two girls watched as the man and woman walked in Usagi’s direction. They both breathed a sigh of relief as the couple walking walked past the two girls without a glance in their direction.
"Let's follow them," Kaichuu said instantly. Shakaku nodded, and the two girls slowly and quietly followed the couple.
"It's too.... fresh," the woman said.
"Of course it is, Kerai, they are humans after all, they don't know how to keep a planet."
"Oh, now they're ragging on earth," Kaichuu said with a fake look of anger.
"I'd feel better if I could just destroy something," Kerai pointed out as she looked around. Both Kaichuu and Shakaku now tensed up, and she watched as the couple continued to walk without any indication of stopping for anything. The two turned a corner, and that was the last that was seen of them.
"They're up to something," Kaichuu growled. "They'll be on the list for sure."
"Of course they're up to something, but what?" Shakaku asked, completely ignoring Kaichuu's last comment. "There had to be a reason why they were standing next to Usagi; they must have known she was going to be there," Shakaku added.
"No, they weren't talking about Usagi and Chibiusa... they knew WE were going to be here!" Kaichuu realized. Shakaku pondered this for a moment, and then she nodded.
"That must be it," Shakaku agreed.
The blind, purple-eyed girl stood on the stairs leading into the dance building. She looked no older then ten years old, and she stood about four feet six inches. In her arms, she held some books. Her shoulder length, black hair was tied back in a bun to keep it out of her face, and she wore a purple skirt and a short sleeved white shirt.
"Those girls don't know what they're doing. They're going to need help," the blind girl, Enzeru, said to herself in a low whisper as she heard Shakaku and Kaichuu talk. Using the railing of the stairs to guide her, Enzeru walked away from the building.
"Enzeru," Dorei called to her friend.
"They're here," Enzeru said.
"It's no wonder," Hoshi said with a smile. Dorei caught Shakaku and Kaichuu walking by them out of the corner of her eye. She saw Shakaku quickly glance at them, and then she turned her eyes back ahead of her.
"They're not stupid. They've most likely figured who we are, we might as well go to the next battle," Dorei said after Shakaku and Kaichuu passed by.
"All right! It's about time we get to kick at least some butt," Hoshi said with a new smile creeping on to her face.
"I have to confess that I too am about ready to just blast into the battle," Enzeru spoke up.
"We'll be at the next battle then; it's settled."
"I don't know Usagi, maybe you should actually try doing your homework, maybe you won't get in trouble so much," Rei told her friend slyly as they walked to the temple to begin their study meeting.
"But it's too hard!" Usagi wailed as she slumped.
"It wouldn't be so hard if you did it on a regular basis and paid attention more often," Ami pointed out.
"You're not supposed to agree with her," Usagi mumbled. The girls continued to walk until soft footsteps could be heard running up to them. The girls turned around only to see Luna and Artemis come to a stop to catch their breath.
"Yajuu," Luna said, still gasping for air, "at the game center."
"You have to transform and go there right away!" Artemis urged them.
"Let's go, girls!" Makoto said as she began following Luna and Artemis, who had already started running back in the direction they had come.
"Sailor Aquaria and Phoenix are already there, but they're not doing so well," Luna called to the girls as they continued to run. When they finally reached their destination and stopped to catch their breath, they could hear the sounds of a battle going on inside the building.
"Jupiter Star Power, Make up!"
"Moon Cosmic Power, Make up!"
"Mars Star Power Make up!"
"Mercury Star Power, Make up!"
"Moon Prism Power, Make up!"
"Venus Star Power, Make up!"
Music and bright lights filled the area until each of the girls were now transformed into their senshi outfits. As Sailor Venus finished transforming, the window of the game center shattered as Sailor Aquaria was slammed against it, and she landed on the pavement outside.
"Sailor Aquaria," Sailor Mercury said as she rushed to the fallen senshi. Sailor Aquaria got up, and she looked inside the building to see Sailor Phoenix get ready to launch an attack at the yajuu.
Sailor Mars jumped through the broken window and joined Sailor Phoenix. "Fire Soul!" she yelled.
"Twisting Flame Encounter!" Sailor Phoenix also yelled. The two attacks encircled each other, and when they reached the yajuu, they caused it to run and scream. Once the creature seized its yelling, it turned to look at the senshi.
"You pay," it hissed with anger.
"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" Sailor Chibimoon screamed as she pointed her wand at the yajuu, who looked at her in confusion. Nothing happened for a few moments until the wand let out a small pink heart that tickled the yajuu in the stomach.
"No time for play," the yajuu said as it took hold of the heart and crushed it, pink dust dropping from its hand.
"Aquaria Shattering Wave!" Sailor Aquaria let out her own attack, which the yajuu reflected with its own attack.
"Nothing's working!" Sailor Moon shrieked.
"Try your attack, stupid," Sailor Mars reminded her.
Sailor Moon blushed and began her attack. "Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" she declared as she began to spin in quick circles. A large pink heart emerged and headed for the yajuu. The creature spread it arms as the attack drew closer to it. The yajuu yelled, and a bright light escaped from its mouth, and it shattered the attack.
"Dracas Star Shatter!" Everything became dark and quiet until Sailor Moon's scared cry could be heard.
"Gemini Clones Collide!" someone screamed. In the darkness, a senshi dressed in blue and green with blond hair was illuminated. She was seen with a staff hovering over her outstretched hands. On either end of the staff rested two orbs, one blue and the other green, which rose up and encircled each other quickly; leaving a trail behind them. The orbs finally collided and shattered; bright green and blue stars fell, and the yajuu cried out in pain as the stars touched it.
"With the beautiful song of Virgo, I am Sailor Virgas, here to bring melody to the battle against evil," a senshi dressed in red and gray said as the area began to gain light.
"The darkness from the constellation Draco sends it power, and with that, I am Sailor Dracas, bringing darkness into the battle scene," a much shorter senshi, dressed in purple and white with black hair, said.
"With the movement of a fierce spirit, I am Sailor Gemini, here to bring down evil," the senshi who had created the attack finished. The senshi stood together and faced the yajuu. The yajuu stared at the senshi for a few seconds with its eyes wide open in fear.
"Who... are they?" Sailor Jupiter asked slowly.
"They seem to know," Sailor Venus said as she pointed to Sailor Phoenix and Sailor Aquaria who were smiling.
"You... Kyuuteki will kill you!" the yajuu said as it began to back up.
"Hold it," Sailor Venus said sternly. "You don't think you're actually going to leave, are you?" The yajuu's eyes opened even more as it began to whimper.
"That's right," Sailor Virgas said with a smile. "Virgas Melody Entraption!" she yelled at the creature. From the ground where the yajuu stood rose four red lines of what seemed to be musical notes. The lines wrapped themselves around the yajuu, making it motionless.
"Sailor Moon," Sailor Mercury said as she looked at her leader. Sailor Moon gave a nod.
"Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" Sailor Moon began for the second time. This time the yajuu looked on in horror as it met it's doom.
It gave a loud scream of terror that was quickly hushed. In place of where the yajuu had been was a small puddle of colored oil. The senshi quickly turned to look at the newest senshi, who had entered the battle; they were now standing next to Sailor Phoenix and Sailor Aquaria.
Sailor Virgas stood about Aquaria's height, and she had nearly the same happy expression on her face. Sailor Gemini was about the same height as Sailor Moon, and she wore a plain expression on her face. The smallest, Sailor Dracas, had on the expression that any little girl would have.
"Who are they?" Sailor Jupiter demanded to know.
"They're friends, and they are here to help us," Sailor Aquaria said defensively.
"They are very good allies to have," Sailor Phoenix added.
"We knew you would need our help," Sailor Gemini spoke out with a smile.
"Not really," Sailor Mars whispered to herself, but she said
nothing aloud.
"You will be needing all of our help, you can not defeat this enemy on your own," Sailor Phoenix said, as if she had heard Sailor Mars' comment. The five senshi- Sailor Aquaria, Sailor Phoenix, Sailor Dracas, Sailor Virgas, and Sailor Gemini- turned to leave when they heard Sailor Moon speak up.
"We'd like your help very much," she spoke rather softly; her tone gave away her fear of the other senshi getting mad at her for that comment. The Constellations gave a nod, and they turned around and left, no one said anything.
"Sailor Moon is right, we could use their help," Luna said after a long silence.
"We could do this on our own if we wanted to," Sailor Jupiter defended. Luna gave Jupiter a smile, but her face turned serious again. All of the senshi detransformed, and they began to make there way back to the temple, where they had been trying to go in the first place.
Below a group of trees stood Shakaku, Kaichuu, Dorei, Enzeru, and Hoshi all in a circle. Shakaku stood with her arms crossed facing Hoshi, Dorei, and Enzeru; Kaichuu just stood where she was with her eyes widened.
"It's great to see you guys," Enzeru finally spoke up.
"It took us forever to find you," Dorei pointed out, and Hoshi gave a nod. Shakaku and Hoshi shot each other glances, and they smiled a smile that seemed to be holding a secret that only they knew.
"So, you guys did go to volleyball practice," Shakaku questioned them. "Dorei," she said with a shake of her head, "You shouldn't be spying on your arch rival that way." Dorei's eyes widened with a start, and then she chuckled.
"I never meant to spy..." Dorei said innocently.
"Not so fast," Shakaku teased. Dorei replied with a small smile but said nothing.
"Now that we're together," Hoshi began," we can kick some serious ass!"
"That would be most enjoyable," Enzeru said with a devilish grin.
"Now you?!" Kaichuu gasped. "Enzeru, you of all people, you can't go along with them!"
Shakaku caught Kaichuu's gaze, and she widened her eyes, "Join the knombs; you won't be sorry," she said randomly.
"What the?" Kaichuu asked. "Ok, this is too weird. First Enzeru turns devilish, and then Shakaku says random things. What are you guys smoking? I want some!"
