"Hey guys! Great news! Since we can no longer
go swimming at the beach, unless you want to get really cold
then I have found the alternate place!" Brooke said as she
flipped through the morning paper. All of her friends turned to
look at her. "At Cole Harbor Place! It has everything, from a
massive water slid, hot tubs two swimming pools one a wave pool
and shallow, and the other with 12 feet deep end and diving
boards and a robe swing!"
Everyone looked at Brooke with wide eyes. "I
say we go!" Alissa spoke out as she crawled over across
Jessica's bedroom floor to look at the paper with Brooke. "How
about tomorrow! That way it can give us something to do, because
no one has plans yet do we?" She asked as she looked at each of
her friends in turn.
"Nope." Replied Jessica.
"None for me!" Jennifer said loudly.
"Nor do I have any." Brooke said quietly.
"And I don't have anything going on either, so
lets plan to go there tomorrow!" Alissa then turned to Jessica.
"Do you think Kevin will be able to go? Or is he spending this
weekend studying for another test?" Alissa asked as she went
over and put an arm around the red head shoulders.
Jessica face lit up. "No he doesn't have
anything planned this weekend, he doesn't have any big tests
until the end of the month!" Jessica said excited, she quickly
jumped up and knocked Alissa over in the process. "I am going to
ask him!" she said as she ran out of the room and down the hall
to his room.
Everyone turned to look at Alissa whom was
knocked onto Jessica's bed then had managed to slid over and
fall off the other head landing in a mangled heap of arms, legs,
hair and blankets. An up roar of laughter broke out when the
four heads of Jennifer, Brooke, Eclipse and Nova looked over at
Alissa.

"Well now another failure!" You two morons
are getting us NOWHERE!" Emperor Valico yelled at the two demons
that stood before him. "You have to find that last Stellar Scout
before he Winter Solstice! I can not wait any longer then that,
you all have seen what would happen, we will all be locked back
in here again and have to wait for another chance!"
"Yes Emperor, we know this . . ." Kurai-ki was
cut off short when Shi-ryuu stepped in front of his little
brother and gave him an elbow in the chest.
"Well I have a new plan! Tell him MY plan
Kurai-ki!" Shi-ryuu commanded as he gave another elbow to
Kurai-ki's already battered chest. The smaller demon walked up
holding his battered ribs.
"Yes Shi-ryuu's plan is to g to this building
called a swimming pool, now that the beaches have been closed
for the upcoming winter the teens have started to go to a pool
called Cole Harbor Place. It is the hang out for everyone at
this time. So Shi-ryuu thought that we could go there and attack
the teenage girls and hopefully find the last of the Stellar
Scouts." Kurai-ki explained.
The Emperor put a hand to his chin for a few
moments. "Very well, carry on with this, but you had better get
results! And SOON!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, the
walls shook around them as the two demons backed away and left
the room.
Out in the hallway Shi-ryuu turned to Kurai-ki.
"That was the only plan you could come up with?" He demanded the
answer as he pushed his younger brother up against the cold
wall. "A swimming pool, lucky for you Emperor Valico thought
that it was good enough!" She said as he delivered a punch to
Kurai-ki's shoulder.
When Shi-ryuu backed away, giving Kurai-ki
room to straighten up the small green demon spoke. "Well I
didn't see you come up with anything!" He said smugly as he
quickly made his exit in a swirl of leaves and small branches.
"Why you little!" Shi-ryuu shook a fist at the
spot where Kurai-ki was only standing a few minutes ago. Then he
heard shuffling behind him, and quickly turned around to see the
beast. He rolled his eyes as he looked down at the dog like
animal. "What do you want fido?" He asked as he leaned up
against the wall with his arms crossed across his bare chest.
"No need to be so rude." she beast said
through clenched teeth. "And don't worry about Kurai-ki he will
come to his end sooner or later, don't you worry, it will come
soon enough," as he turned towards the "dead end" Shi-ryuu
followed. "We must talk the Mistress wants to have a word with
you." The beast said as he disappeared onto the other side of
the wall.
Shi-ryuu shrugged his shoulders and followed.

"Alright here comes the bus!" Alissa said as
she jumped up from the bench and turned to her friends. "What a
great way to spend a Friday night!" She said as she turned to
face the oncoming bus that came to a gentle stop.
Everyone followed Alissa onto the bus,
Jessica, Jennifer, Brooke, and Kevin. Dropping their money into
the container at the front of the bus. Alissa couldn’t help but
watch the money go around in a swirl before landing with a
clanging noise as it hit the other money.
"I hate riding on busses, there are too many
people." Brooke said quietly as she followed close behind
Jennifer and piled into a seat behind her.
"No need to worry," she leaned over to Brooke
ear. "Remember we are Stellar Scouts!" She said with a laugh as
Brooke smiled and nodded her head, now feeling a bit better.
"Now we just have to keep our eyes open for
our stop! We don’t want to miss it, this is going to be a long
ride as it is." Jessica said as she sat down in a seat with
Kevin at her side.
She leaned over and rested her head on Kevin’s
shoulder. "I am so glad that you could come!" The red head said
as she looked up at her boyfriend with loving eyes. Kevin smiled
a smile that made Jessica melt right there. She clung in closer
wanting to be completely surrounded by his strong arms.
Kevin bent down and gently kissed Jessica on
her head and brushed her long strands out of her eyes. The pair
sat like that for the fifteen-minute ride, and the silence was
broken by Alissa’s loud call.
"We are here!" She said as she stood up and
pulled the bus, the large bus came to a stop on the opposite
side of Cole Harbor Place. The five of them piled out with a few
other people, waiting at the crosswalk for the "walk" sign.
Walking across once the little figure on the
light came up they went into the large brick building. The smell
of chlorine filled each of their lungs. "Alright, I think we go
down here to the changing rooms!" Alissa said as she turned
towards the right.
"What was your first clue?" Jennifer asked, as
they all looked at the sign in bold writing before them that
said "Changing Rooms". They all laughed as Alissa put her head
down and sighed.
The group walked down the hall. "I’ll see you
out there Kevin!" Jessica said as she followed the other girls
into the female changing room, when Kevin nodded and turned
towards the males changing room.
Shortly after they all emerged at almost the
same time, the stood on the pools edge, looking at all the
different places. Trying to decided where they should go first.
And all at once they started calling out answers.
"I want to go to the diving board." Brooke
said quietly.
"I want to go to the hot tub!" Jessica said as
she pointed in the direction of the hot tub.
"I want to go down the slide! It looks like so
much fun!" Alissa said as she pointed at the long blue slid with
wide eyes.
"Well I think I’ll be going over to the rope
swing first!" Jennifer said as she watched as a kid jumped off
the rope and landed into the water with a splash.
"I’ll go to the hot tub with Jessica." Kevin
said as he put an arm around the red head shoulder.
"Alright so we are all going in different
directions, where do you want to meet up at?" Jessica asked as
she looked at each of her friends in turn.
"The diving board."
"The slide!"
"Rope swing!"
Brooke, Alissa and Jennifer all called out at
once. Jessica hit her forehead with the palm of her hand. "How
about we meet here in ten minutes, and we will all get to go to
each of the spot in turn." Jessica suggested.
"Sounds good!" The three other girls called
out at once then they turned and laughed.
"Ten minutes!" Jessica called after them as
they each headed off in different directions. Then turned in
Kevin she put out her hand, and the walked hand in hand to the
hot tub that waited.

"So this is a swimming pool?" Shi-ryuu asked
as he looked at the large building that stood before him,
Kurai-ki rolled his eyes and nodded his head.
"Boy you have been gone from earth for longer
then I had thought!" He said with a smirk, then quickly changing
the subject. "Lets go, better now then never!" He said as he
jumped off the building and was caught in a gust of wind by his
wings as he soared over to the building.
Shi-ryuu followed as he clenched his teeth.
Kurai-ki was getting too cheeky for his liking, something would
have to be done about that and soon.
Kurai-ki made a crashing entrance as he flew
through one of the large windows, people below screamed as they
covered their heads and ran for safety, Kurai-ki smirked seeing
how he had frightened all of the people.
Jessica, Kevin, Alissa, Jennifer and Brooke
all looked towards the broken window from the different parts of
the pool. All meeting up in front of the changing rooms looking
around trying to find out what had crashed into the window and
only heard screams coming from the far right corner where the
wave pool was.
"Well this is earlier then ten minutes but
lets get to it!" Jessica cried out as she ran into the females
changing room and pulled out her transformation medallion from
her pants pocket, she ran out with Alissa, Jennifer and Brooke,
who were soon followed by Kevin from the males changing room.
Holding the transformation items above their
heads Jessica lead her fellow Stellar Scouts.
"SOLARIS STAR . . . . ."
"DAYSTAR COSMIC . . . . . "
"POLLUX STAR . . . . ."
"CAPELLA STAR . . . . ."
"SHAULA STAR . . . . ."
Then all together they called out, "POWER!"
Jessica then closed her eyes. The Solaris
Medallion disappeared into many little orange and gold sparkles;
this caused her body to shimmer the colors of the sparkles as
they fell onto her body.
Then her silver tiara appeared with the red
jewel in the center. The jewel then emitted a blinding flash of
orange light that surrounded Jessica giving her the feeling of
the bright morning sun on her body.
Then a swirl of orange and gold sparkles
warped around her body moving upward as it spun around her body.
The body suit of her uniform then appeared. And the bows came
out of the heart in the center of her chest. Sparkling golden
rings then went around her feet forming boots. Then more
sparkling rings went around her arms forming her gloves. Soon
afterward the golden sparkles went around her waist forming her
skirt.
At that point there was a large burst of
golden sparkles that flew up into the air, when the sparkles
fell to the ground Sailor Sun was then revealed fully
transformed. She did her transformation pose. She stood there
with one hand across her forehead and the other across her
stomach with her legs together. Her long red hair then blew to
the side.
The mist wrapped around counter clockwise
around his body covering him from the eye. When the mist faded
away Kevin was only a shadow. Then was an explosion above his
head and small glittering yellow and maroon sparkles fell over
his shoulders and his long cape appeared around his shoulders.
Then with a bright flash of golden light his
armor appeared. Then he held his right arm to the sky and opened
his eyes. Once his eyes were open a large powerful silver sword
appeared in his hand, he then slid the saber into it's proper
spot on his belt.
Alissa shouted out the phrase as she held her
transformation item above her head. Alissa then closed her eyes
then her transformation wand disappeared.
Her hair was then lifted off of her shoulders.
I strong gust picked up and swirled around her. Then her silver
tiara appeared with the white jewel in the center. The jewel
them emitted a blinding flash of gray light that surrounded
Alissa giving her the feel of a warm spring breeze blowing
through her hair and across her face.
Then the swirling air divided into rings and
two rings went around her body moving upward as it spun around
her body. The body suit of her uniform then appeared. And the
bow came out of the heart in the center of her chest. Gray rings
of air went around her feet forming boots. Then more gray rings
went around her arms forming her gloves. Soon afterward the gray
air went around her waist forming her skirt.
At that point the wind picked up greatly, her
hair was blowing wildly. From above a tornado came down and
circled around Alissa blocking her from view. When the tornado
died down and her hair slowly dropped back resting on her
shoulders. Sailor Pollux was reveled fully transformed. She did
her transformation pose. Her pose was her standing with both of
her hands on her cheeks, looking very innocent and harmless. Her
head was tilted a little bit to the side. Her legs were apart,
one was a little ahead then the other.
Jennifer shouted out these words as she held
her transformation medallion above her head. She then closed her
eyes then her transformation medallion disappeared. Her hair was
then lifted off of her back.
Then her silver tiara appeared with the green
jewel in the center. The jewel them emitted a blinding flash of
green light that surrounded the girl giving her the feel of
leaves brushing across her face and around her body.
Then from the ground vines formed at the
bottom of her feet. The vines then slowly moved up her body. Her
legs were then covered from view. The vines continued to move up
her body, her waist was then hidden, the vines continued to move
up and they covered her upper body then they moved down her
arms.
Then there was a large burst of green light
and the vines started to move away from her body slowly moving
down. The vines revealed her gloves then her body suit was
formed. Next came her skirt and the vines completely disappeared
and her boots were reviled. The heart in the center of her chest
was reveled.
From the heart came more vines they formed her
bow. Then the bow in her back appeared with the vines.
At that point more vines appeared and they
grew upward. The vines keep growing up until they were above her
head. They then began to wrap around her body causing a wall of
vines around her. The vines tied into a point above Jennifer's
head. When the vines died down and the girl's hair slowly drops
back resting on her shoulders. And Sailor Capella was reveled
fully transformed. She did her transformation pose. Her pose was
her standing with her right arm stretched out in front of her.
Her left arm is resting on her hip. Her head was tilted slightly
forward. Her legs were together.
Brooke shouted out the words as she held her
transformation medallion above her head. Brooke then closed her
eyes then her transformation medallion disappeared. Then her
silver tiara appeared with the sea green jewel in the center.
The jewel them emitted a blinding flash of sea green light that
surrounded Brooke giving her the feel of her body being surround
by the cool summer water.
Then from behind her a wave formed and crashed
down on top of her, she didn't stir. Once the water resided,
Brooke stood in it. A small bit of water at her feet moved up
her knees forming boots, which were transparent. The water then
slowly moved up her body. Her waist was then hidden beneath
water, the form of her skirt could be seen the water continued
to move up and it covered her upper body then it moved down her
arms. Then rain began to fall from an unseen source, covering
her body.
As the water touched her arms it reveled her
gloves then her body suit. Next came her skirt and the rain
slowly tapered off, but not before her boots were reviled. The
heart in the center of her chest was reveled. From the heart
came more water it formed her bow. Then the bow in her back
appeared in the same fashion.
And Sailor Shaula was reveled fully
transformed. She did her transformation pose. Her pose was her
kneeling down on one knee, her elbows rest on that knee, her
head rested in her hands and she had a big smile which spread
across her face.
The four Stellar Scouts and their male
counterpart all turned to face the direction of the screams. "I
think it is time that we go and kick some bad guy butt!" Jessica
said as she ran across the pool deck carefully.
They soon came to the source of the many
screaming people. There hovering above a circle of teenagers was
Kurai-ki and Shi-ryuu. They were swooping down and taking a
Heart Stone from the helpless victims one by one. Trying to find
the last Stellar Scout.
All coming out behind Sailor Sun and Daystar
Knight the Stellar scouts stood in their fighting stances and
introduced themselves.
"I am the sailor scout of the red star the
sun, fighting for all within the sol system! With the flames of
the sun, and the power of fire, prepare to burn because I will
punish you!"
"I am the protector of the sailor scout of the
red star the sun, fighting for the sol system and no longer
searching for my lost love but protecting her! So prepare
yourselves because I will penalize you!"
"I am the sailor scout of the storm planet,
Pollux, fighting with an un-stop able rage like a hurricane!
With the power of the air so beware of the air around you, for I
control the north, east, south and west winds!"
"I am the sailor scout of the planet of nature
and life, Capella. I fight for all the living beings, which are
pure! With the power of the natural world, prepare to suffer my
earthshaking power because I will avenge all of those souls,
which you have hurt! In the name of Capella!"
"I am the sailor scout of the water star,
Shaula. I can control the ocean tides, the rain clouds above and
the cold ice, so watch out. You have found a way to disturb the
balance of earth's water, and for that I will do away with the
evil that you are!"
With surprised looks Kurai-ki and Shi-ryuu
turned around to see the Stellar Scouts in defensive poses. "Oh
now that the Stellar Scouts are here you can hold this for me!"
Shi-ryuu said as he threw the young woman’s body at the stellar
Scouts, but was going to become closer to the water.
"SHAULA FLOOD OF TEARS . . . . . DOWNPOUR"
Tears welled up in Sailor Shaula's eyes as she
bent down and kneeled on her knees, she looked up at Kurai-ki
and Shi-ryuu as the tears began to pour down her face at a great
speed, soon she had a puddle of tears that was growing in size
and it was soon up to her waist, raising higher and higher. The
tears were now at her neck and covered over her head. She then
tightly shut her eyes and the pile of water, which had formed a
column around her, went right towards Kurai-ki and Shi-ryuu. It
leapt up into the air and circled around them then dropped onto
them with such power it forced them to be pushed into the floor.
Shi-ryuu was a quick thinker and to make the
attack not so damaging he put out his wings as a shield, but was
still forced into the floor. Slowly pulling themselves from the
broken floor that they had been pushed into up to their knees
they were greeted with another attack.
The Stellar Scout of the water star fired out
her attack which hit Kurai-ki strongly which the daystar Knight
jumped up and saved the young woman before she hit the water.
Setting her on the pool deck carefully he turned to face Shi-ryuu
which had dodged out of the way of the attack.
Sailor Pollux got ready to do her attack next.
"POLLUX STORM TORNADO . . . . . SPIN!"
Sailor Pollux stood with her legs apart. Her
hands were clasped across her chest. Her head was bowed and her
eyes were closed. Then her eyes snapped open as her neck
straightened. She put her hands above her head and a strong wind
picked up. Sailor Pollux's hair and uniform blew wildly in the
wind. She turned her wrist and a gray tornado came down from
above. It surrounded her then she put her hands directly in
front of her chest and the tornado spun out not towards Shi-ryuu
or Kurai-ki.
This time Shi-ryuu used his little brother as
a shield, making him receive the bunt of the attack. After the
attack had passed Shi-ryuu smiled wickedly. "You missed me!" He
said in a childish tone.
"Only because you hid behind Kurai-ki! If you
would for once stand up and fight then maybe me could stop
looking at you like a wuss!" Sailor Capella called out as she
stepped up and stuck out her tongue.
"Oh you have not seen anywhere near the amount
of power that I can use, and I am not sorry to tell you this,
but you won’t see my full powers until you are about to die from
my hands!" He yelled out an aura of fire began to form around
his body as the rage built up.
"Well then I am afraid that isn’t going to
happen for a long time Shi-ryuu!" Sailor Sun said as she stepped
up out of the group and pointed a finger at Shi-ryuu. "Because I
don’t intend to die for a long time! And most certainly not by
your hands!"
"We will see, we will see!" He yelled as he
shot out an attack of bats, which were made purely of fire, they
flew up and around the Stellar Scouts and dove down every now
and then to attack the group of warriors.
Trying to save themselves and the helpless
screaming groups that were trying to run from the two demons.
"Alright I have had enough of this!" Sailor Pollux yelled out in
a very loud and angry voice.
"Pollux Song of Innocence . . . . . ClEANSE"
She smiled a soft smile and did a full turn.
She held one knee in the air, her other leg held her up. The
phrase came out of her mouth past her lips like a beautiful
melody. The air filled with a sweet smelling wind, it flowed
through and traveled into the heart of each of the living beings
that were in the area.
As the song entered the hearts of those with a
pure soul it healed any wounds making them feel refreshed. As
the song entered a heart, which was un-pure, it began to cleanse
it, making them feel anew.
Kurai-ki disappeared in a swirl of leaves and
small branches, while the too proud Shi-ryuu didn’t flee. "Oh
like this is going to hurt!" he said as he rolled his eyes and
stood there with his arms crossed while his wings would flap
every now and then to keep him in the air.
Suddenly he got a sharp pain in his chest and
grabbed it tightly as if it would help make the pain go away. He
turned to the Stellar Scouts as the pain got worse. "I may leave
now, but don’t worry Sailor Sun, I won’t break the promise to
come after your family, because I never break promises!" He said
as he disappeared to safety in the form of a fiery dragon’s
head.
Sailor Sun turned to the Daystar Knight with
watery eyes. "He said he was going to attack my family again! I
can’t let him! Can we please go home now? We have to try to stay
around them as much as possible please?" Sailor Sun asked as she
jumped into daystar Knight’s arms and he wrapped his arms around
her.
"Sure thing Sailor Sun, we will make sure that
we will hold all the meetings at your house and that whenever we
want to hang out it can be at your house, it isn’t like you mom
or dad will mind, they love us!" Sailor Pollux said happily.
"Yeah don’t worry I am sure that Shi-ryuu is
just full of words and won’t even attack them! You see how he
cowardly uses Kurai-ki as a shield or will use a helpless victim
as a decoy." Sailor Capella said with a smile.
Sailor Sun smiled and nodded. "Come on lets
de-transform and get out of here, how does ice cream sound at
Jessica’s?" Sailor Shaula said with a smile as she put an arm
around Sailor Sun’s shoulders.
‘So her name is Jessica, time to narrow down
the field.’ Shi-ryuu’s voice said quietly from an unknown source
as the Stellar Scouts walked off and disappeared into the change
rooms to de-transform.
"This should make the search mush easier." He
said with a smile from the top of the Cole Harbor Place. "This
should make the search a whole lot easier!" He said with an evil
laugh.
