"Emperor, we have some news that I think you will be very satisfied to hear!" Shi-ryuu said as he walked into the Emperor’s room, with a confident and proud stride.

The cloaked Emperor quickly stood up from the book that he was bent over moments before. "Yes what is it?" He asked as he brushed the creases out of his cape.

Kurai-ki walked in behind his older brother, he too had a smug look on his face. "The five points have been awakened." The whole area suddenly got cold as a silent breeze blew through the room.

"Excellent, so now the real fun can begin!" The Emperor turned towards the fountain and as if on queue the beast got up and crawled out of the murky water.

"Yes now the fun can begin." The beast spoke in an eerie tone as he looked at Shi-ryuu with a smile that only the large demon would understand. "So I hope that you two have a plan!" The beast said as he sat beside the Emperor.

"Oh but of course, now we are going to play with each of their heads, good old Kurai-ki here," Shi-ryuu put his arm over his younger brothers shoulders and gave him a strong hug almost crushing all the bones in the green demons body, "did some research on humans fears. So we are going to play around with that nifty idea and haunt the Stellar Scouts."

"I see, well that should work well then! Please carry out your plan as soon as you wish." The Emperor turned from the two demons in front of him to the beast. "Is the Star Pendulum completely done and ready for THE sex heart Stones?"

The beast nodded his head, "yes it is done, now these two just have to see to getting them from the Stellar Scouts, which shouldn’t be that hard." Smiling he turned to look at the two demons. "Now go off and reek some havoc on the un-expecting humans!"

"Shi-ryuu got a smug evil smile across his lips. "My pleasure!" He turned and walked out of the room, Kurai-ki disappeared in a swirl of small leaves and twigs.

The Emperor turned to face the beast. "Everything is coming together as I planned. Soon I will be free of this prison that has held me her for so long!" he threw back his head and let out a spin chilling laugh.

Jessica looked around her, she had suddenly gotten the chills and she quickly shook them off. "Oh that was creepy." She said, Alissa, Jennifer, Brooke and Madison all turned to look at her.

"What?" The blonde asked.

"I just got these horrible chills down my spin!" She said as she shook herself again.

"Oh I get them all the time!" Brooke said quietly. Looking towards the sidewalk ahead of her. The group was on their way to Alissa’s for a Stellar Scout meeting; Eclipse and Nova walked behind. Kevin as going to come by later once he got out of class.

"Oh but this one was really creepy! Oh I can’t stop thinking about it! I just felt so cold, and there is no cold wind that could have chilled me." She held out her hand and no wind went over her hand, the air around them was still.

"I don’t know Jessica but we should be talking about scout business. No of this nonsense about you getting a couple of goosebumps." Eclipse stated as he trotted up so he was walking at Jessica’s side.

"Yes master Eclipse!" Jessica said as she did a little bow before the dog. He just rolled his eyes and turned towards Nova for some help at the matter.

"Please Princess Cassandra, focus on what is at hand, for Emperor Valico’s demons could attack at any second." Just out of reaction the five girls reached into their pockets and clutched onto their transformation medallions.

Once they all realized that there would be no attack they put their guard down. "Yes Nova, now what do you think will happen next?" They seemed to be rather happy that there is a new Stellar Scout." Jessica said as she turned towards Madison, who was on her roller blades and skating just a little of from the rest being careful not to bump into them.

"I am not to sure on that Princess, but we had better get ready for anything because Shi-ryuu knows your name." Nova spoke in her quite calm voice trying not to upset Jessica.

The red head looked down at the ground before her and nodded that she was still listening to the guardian dog that spoke. "So we had better come up with a plan, and maybe try to find out where our villain my be hiding." Eclipse suggested as he walked beside Nova once again.

"Yes maybe a computer program could be made that can help us at fighting this evil and finding where they are. I wonder if Emperor Valico’s power is also sealed! Then that would make for a easy fight!" Alissa put in.

"That would be something to try, but it isn’t as easy as it sounds, maybe we could get Kurai-ki to spill the beans to us! He doesn’t seem to be the big and the bad much anymore! He won’t attack us and basically just hovers off to the side while Shi-ryuu does all of the destroying!" Jennifer added.

"Yes that is very true Princess, but I am not sure that Kurai-ki will give in to our pleas as easily as we all would wish. We will come up with something that will help us through all of this!" Nova again spoke in her calm voice.

"Yeah." Jessica said with a sigh as the group continued to walk on. Suddenly a pair of hands went over Jessica’s eyes. A smile instantly went across her face as she squirmed around trying to get out of the hands. She was happy to see the face of Kevin.

Kevin bent down and gave Jessica a small kiss on her soft lips, he rubber his nose to hers as they gave an Eskimo kiss to each other. "I thought that you wouldn’t be by till later!" Jessica said excited as she quickly grasped onto Kevin’s hand.

"Well alright I will go off and come back later then if you like." He said jokingly as he began to turn away. Jessica quickly tightened the grasp on his hand and shook her head vigorously. And mouthed a ‘no’ as she snuggled into his shoulder.

"So what was everyone talking about?" He asked as he looked down at the two guardian dogs.

"Just talking about what is to come, and possible plan idea’s." Eclipse said simply. Kevin smiled his head. "We had better come up with something soon!" Kevin said defensively. For he too was worried that Shi-ryuu knew Jessica’s name and what school she went to, that could turn out fatal for them all.

"Yes we were working on that Prince Sol." Nova said as she looked up at Kevin with her big eyes. Her coat was sleek and soft and had a simmer in the fall sun.

A leaf floated off a tree. Jessica got a pouty look on her face. "The leaves aren’t supposed to fall yet!" She said in a baby tone.

"Yeah really! It is too early yet! It is summer over in Australia right now!" Madison said as she looked up at the trees, which had started to change color into the many shades of red, orange, and yellow.

Jessica suddenly got another chill so she snuggled closer into Kevin’s shoulder. He put a warm loving arm tighter around her shoulders.

 *                  *                  *                  *                  *

Laughter echoed through the dark halls, but this time the laughter was that of Shi-ryuu and not the Emperor Valico. The large demon stood before the beast and his mistress who sat in the shadows.

"So that is what you intend to do! And all this time the poor Emperor Valico hasn’t known where you have been and where you are!" Shi-ryuu laughed again. "I personally don’t think that this little plan of yours will work but I will try my best to make it successful as I can!"

"You had better!" The beast said in a rude and commanding tone. "Don’t mess it up! That is why you were picked over your brother! It is because we both believe that you have the power to do this!" The beast said as he showed his teeth to the large demon that stood before them.

"Yeah, yeah don’t worry fido, I will get the job done, just stay out of it and stop pestering me!" The large demon said as he turned to leave. The beast looked up at his mistress and shook his head. The woman’s lips just shone in the little light that caught them.

 *                  *                  *                  *                  *

"Where is Shi-ryuu? We have to go and attack the girls, it is now or never!" The small green demon said as he walked through the dark hallways looking for any signs of his older brother.

He looked down at a dead end, ‘not there.’ He thought to himself. Suddenly he saw a hand come from the wall and quickly got out of the way so he wouldn’t be seen.

The small green demon then saw as Shi-ryuu came out of what he had thought was a dead end, the demon looked around making sure that no one was there. He then quickly walked out and made his way down he dark halls towards his chamber.

Kurai-ki looked from the hallway in which Shi-ryuu had just went down to the "dead end". He got a smug smile across his face and carefully walked over to it.

Looking around for a possible switch or button that could open the wall, the green demon soon got angry and went to slam his fist into the wall. His fist went right through to the other side.

Being caught off guard he began to fall to the floor below, and just before his hit he caught himself carefully, silently he rose to his feet with the aid of his wings.

Looking around and standing still he listened for any movement. He was greeted with the silence that he had heard on the other side. "No to see what my big old brother is up too!" Kurai-ki spoke quietly to himself as he began to walk forward.

Coming to a corner he carefully looked around it to see if anyone was there, he then heard footsteps. Being very quite he quickly backed away and made a silent mad dash towards the exit.

Coming through on the other side, the green demon went into his previous hiding place and waited to see who was going to come out of the passage next.

After waiting only a few moments the beast emerged looking around much like Shi-ryuu he quickly walked out and turned towards Emperor Valico’s chamber.

Kurai-ki disappeared and reappeared in his room. "Now that is a bit odd! I wonder what the pair are up to!" He said quietly to himself. Suddenly from behind him Shi-ryuu appeared.

Turing around to face his older brother Kurai-ki spoke. "Come now lets get going! We have to attack each of the Stellar Scouts with their fears!" Kurai-ki said as he walked towards the room’s exit.

"Yes but remember we have to find out what they are first!" Shi-ryuu pointed out. "It isn’t like we are going to get them to tell us what their greatest fear is."

"Please Stellar Scouts would you mind telling us what your greatest fear is so we can use it against you?!" The large demon said sarcastically. "It isn’t going to work that way little bro!" Shi-ryuu gave his brother a hard pat on the back knocking the wind out of the green demon.

Kurai-ki glared at his brother then disappeared in a swirling mass of small leaves and twigs. While Shi-ryuu went in a blazing bulk of fire that took on the form of a dragons head.

 *                  *                  *                  *                  *

"Who is up for ice cream bars?" Alissa asked as she walked out of her house with a hand full of ice cream bars. All of her friends instantly raised their hands. Alissa handed them out to each of the out reaching hands.

"Alright now lets enjoy these before talking about Scout business." Jessica said as she tore off the wrapper her ice cream bar. Taking a big bit out of the bar she turned he head along with the other’s towards a screaming voice.

All letting out a deep sigh before standing up and reaching into their pockets to hold their transformation items above their heads they finished off the ice cream bars.

"Or not!" Jennifer said as she tucked the wrapper into the garbage bag that Alissa had brought out.

"On the count of three!" Madison said.

"1!" The called out together, "2!" a short pause, "3!"

"SOLARIS STAR . . . . ."

"DAYSTAR COSMIC . . . . . "

"POLLUX STAR . . . . ."

"CAPELLA STAR . . . . ."

"SHAULA STAR . . . . ."

"SPICA 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.

Madison  shouted out the phrase as she held her transformation medallion above her head. Madison then closed her eyes then her transformation medallion disappeared. Her hair was then lifted off of her shoulders. I strong heat surrounded and circled around her.

Then her silver tiara appeared with the scarlet jewel in the center. The jewel them emitted a blinding flash of lave colored light that surrounded Madison giving her the feel of sitting in front of a warm fire on a cold winter day.

Then from the ground lave erupted and shot up into the air high above her head. The lava then began to circle around her body moving upward as it spun around her body. The body suit of her uniform then appeared. The heart then formed and from the heart came lava that went out and formed into the shape of a bow.

Lava came up around her feet forming boots much like the bow that were black with orange and red cracks. They looked like drying lava. Then lava dropped from above and landed on her arms forming her gloves. Soon afterward more lava appeared around her waist forming her skirt.

At that point the lava flew up from the ground, causing lave to be thrown up into the air. The wall of lava from behind her collapses and when the lava then suddenly dies down, everything is quite and the lava that forms her uniform dries and shows it in the material form and the right colors. And Sailor Spica is reveled fully transformed. She did her transformation pose. Her pose was her standing with one leg in front of the other; her left hand on her hip. Her right hand is at the back of her neck. Her head is looking straight ahead and she has an angry look in her eyes as the flare like hot lava.

The five girls and their male counterpart ran towards the place of the scream, they found themselves at an abandoned building. It was old, the windows were boarded up and there was a whole in the ceiling where it had caved in. The stairs leading to the front door were on a slant with crack all through them.

"We had better be very careful, we don’t want it to cave in on us!" Sailor Shaula pointed out as they made their way towards the front steps. Another scream was heard from within.

As they walked into the large house, the door slammed shut behind them and locked. Sailor Spica turned around and tried her luck at unlocking it and pulling on it hard. "No use!" She said as she shrugged her shoulders.

"Welcome to the house of horrors!" Shi-ryuu’s voice boomed and caused a rafter to come tumbling to their feet from high above. Jumping back and almost falling through the floor Sailor Capella gave out a scream.

The rest of the Stellar Scouts ran to her aid and held her get her leg out of the floor. "That was close!" The brown haired scouts said as she brushed small pieces of wood from her uniform.

"Come on Shi-ryuu what is the deal?!" Sailor Sun yelled out as she looked up high above through so of the holes and cracks of the ceiling above them. A horrible laughter filled the room and shook the house.

The laughter sent chills up Jessica’s spin. She shuttered and looked around again. "Oh are you really having that much of trouble at realizing that you six will die here?!" He questioned, he voice sounded closer now.

The Daystar Knight got a smug look on his face as he walked up behind Sailor Sun. "I wouldn’t be too sure about that!" he called out to the entire house. Looking in every direction.

"I beg to differ!" Shi-ryuu’s voice came again. Even closer then it was before, it sounded like he was on top of them. Sailor Spica looked above her she could hear the footsteps, but very faintly.

Then from above through the floor came Shi-ryuu and Kurai-ki with the orb floating close behind. "And now the games begin!" He pointed to each of the scouts and they disappeared into different positions of the house.

Sailor Sun found herself in the attack, while the Daystar Knight was in the basement, Sailor Pollux in the living room, Sailor Capella in one of the old bedrooms, Sailor Shaula in the library and Sailor Spica found herself in a long dark hallway.

Sailor Capella looked around her nervously. She hated being alone, in such a dark place, so creepy as well. She then heard Kurai-ki’s voice along with Shi-ryuu’s.

"Scared are we?" The two demons asked. Sailor Capella shook her head and tried to get a face that meant business on, but she couldn’t. She was scared, she truly hated to be alone. And right now she was very alone.

No light came in from the blocked windows and the floor had debris all over it, she could only see the silhouettes of the objects around her. She was scared and she knew that Shi-ryuu and Kurai-ki knew it.

"Show yourself!" She said and her voice cracked. Laughter rang through the air. Each of the warriors turned in the direction that they had heard it and began to walk towards it.

"So you are afraid of being alone, imaging being without any friends," the faces of her fellow warriors appeared in her mind and their pictures shattered into a million pieces. "Without your family," the pictures of her mother and her little sister along with Nova went before her eyes, they too shattered.

"Without everything you have ever held dear!" All of her possessions went before her eyes along with Ryan’s face and all that she cared about so much they too went before her eyes. And shattered into a million pieces.

"You are afraid that everyone will leave you just like you FATHER!" The demon's voice was emotionless as the tears began to stream down Sailor Capella’s face.

"STOP!" She yelled as she ran around the room madly, swinging her arms every which way, her gloves had connected with something hard, she looked up to see Shi-ryuu’s face.

She swung more and more at it, then she sat down on the floor and hugged her legs close to her body and rocked back and forth, the tears streamed down her face.

She felt an arm on her shoulder shortly after; she swung around quickly to see the understanding face of Sailor Sun. The red haired scout put out her hand to help Sailor Capella up from the ground; she accepted and stood to her feet.

"The plan was a success, one down five to go!" Shi-ryuu said happily as he turned towards Kurai-ki with a self-satisfied smile on his lips, Kurai-ki also had a similar look on his face as he watched the group find each other and exit the building.
