"Today is such a boring day!" Jessica stated
as she flipped through the channels, she suddenly stopped click
as she came to the news channel. There was a picture of the
Stellar Scouts and a man talking about the latest attack.
"The origins of these five girls and their
male counter part is unknown, but we do know that they are the
good guys, over the last couple of months the number of the
group has increased from one to six. This group who have now
been officially stated as the Stellar Scouts resemble a group
over in Japan." The news broadcaster pointed to the screen
behind him; a picture of the Sailor Scouts came up.
"Oh look it is Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita, Mina
and Darien." The Jessica paused. "And who are those other Sailor
Scouts standing off to the side?" She asked the question almost
to herself as she looked at the two woman that stood back to
back to the side, one had short sandy blonde hair while the
other had sea green shoulder length wavy hair.
The other girls shrugged their shoulder as
they went and looked at the screen as the picture of them came
up again. "The group in Japan go by the name Senshi, which is
the Japanese word for warrior, and that is what best describes
these five girls and their male counter part."
On the screen behind the man flashed various
locations that had been attacked over the past few months. "This
group of senshi have been protecting the innocent bystanders
which are being attacked for unknown reasons. And each time
there was one of the senshi to protect and same them from what
people are starting to call demons."
Pictures of Kasumi, Kurai-ki and Shi-ryuu all
flashed across the screen behind the man. "Weather these attacks
are some weird kind of a sick joke is unknown at this time. Many
people have gotten hurt and have been hospitalized. So if you do
know anything please tell the police."
"Well I know that it isn’t some sick prank!"
Alissa said angrily as she turned to face everyone.
"Yeah I just wish we could do more! We are
getting no where, and Kurai-ki and Shi-ryuu are no longer
targeting various people. They have started to target us. Take
poor Jennifer for example." Madison said as she pointed to her
friend that sat on the bed with her legs crossed.
"Which one will they go for next?" Brooke
asked quietly from the chair, which was off to the side off
Jessica’s bed. They all looked at each one in turn. Shrugging
their shoulders all at once.
"I don’t know, there seems to be no order that
this will be done in. You think that they would attack Jessica
here because Shi-ryuu now knows who you are." Kevin said as he
put a comforting arm around his girl friend.
"Well until we know you had all better keep on
your toes." Eclipse suggested as he sat down on the floor by
Nova. "Rather be safe then sorry. Each of you are prime
targets."
"Yes so please be careful all of you, after
all you are the Princesses and the Prince of the most respected
stars that there was during the Golden Millennium. You have much
to do in the future." Nova said in her regal tone of voice.
"Don’t worry we will be fine!" Jennifer said
as she leaned over and gave Nova a big hug of reassurance.
"Remember we are the Stellar Scouts, we can handle ourselves
just fine, we have cool powers!" The brown haired girl said
trying to liven the room.

* * *
"They are only the Stellar Scouts, that is
nothing to worry about, after all they are only girls with mere
powers which are like child’s magic tricks to me." Shi-ryuu
stated as he walked back and forth in front of the Mistress and
her hound.
"Even so, we must be careful, they can be very
dangerous and are not afraid to protect what they see as right.
There is no need to go running into this like a chicken with it
head cut off." The Mistress declared as she took a sip from a
chalice from the shadows.
"Well can I just pick one of them and attack?
It can’t be that hard, it takes them forever to even get a
little knick on me! I will do fine, I will pick the blonde one,
she looks like she could be easily influenced by Kurai-ki’s
little ‘project’."
"Yes take the blonde, but don’t underestimate
the girl." The beast warned as he walked over and stood at Shi-ryuu’s
feet.
"She is only the Stellar Scout of healing and
innocence and powers from the soul, how can that be so
dangerous?" Shi-ryuu asked as he folded his arms across his
chest and leaned up against the cold damp wall.
"Keep in mind that she is very powerful and
also has the power of Healing and the winds around you! So don’t
be such a fool and underestimate you foes, they may be much
stronger then you had originally thought. You might not find out
the true powers of the Stellar Scouts until it is too late!" The
beast said in a very rude and angry tone through his clenched
razor sharp teeth.
Shi-ryuu gave a flick of his wrist and turned
towards the exit, walking down the cold hall, there were
Kurai-ki was hiding waiting for his return. The large demon
walked through the wall which caused it to ripple, he looked
around carefully and went on his way, shortly after came the
beast who also looked around making sure that no one was
watching.
Both were not seeing Kurai-ki hidden in the
shadows and behind a large crack in the wall. Waiting a few
moments more he cautiously went through the wall and walked down
the dark and dank corridor. Stepping quietly and being careful
not to breath heavy.
He came to an opening to a large room, he
stood in the doorway, looking around and seeing no one there.
Stepping into the room and looking around, there was no light
except for the rather weird black flame that believe it or not
gave off a light.
The green demon walked into the center of the
room to look around more. He heard a rustling behind him; he
slowly turned to see a woman’s figure in the shadows. His heart
started pounding as he gasped for air.
‘I’m in for it!’ he thought, as he looked at
the woman’s figure that moved closer but still staying hidden in
the shadows.
She put her finger to her lip and let a small
"shhhhhh" noise escape from them.

"Alright I should be going home, I have to
muck out the horses stalls!" Alissa said as she stood up and
started walking to the door.
"Do you want us to walk you up there?" Madison
suggested as she grabbed her roller blades, this was a good time
to get in some time on her skates. "We won’t mind." She said as
she put an arm around Alissa’s shoulder.
"Yeah we should all get out there! I haven’t
had a good walk in awhile. Weekends are always so slow!" Jessica
said as she opened the top drawer to her dresser, she pulled out
a pair of socks and slipped them on.
Both Jennifer and Brooke walked over to
Jessica’s closet and got out their small fall coats and slipped
them on. "Alright everyone got everything?" Jennifer asked.
The four other girls and the other guy nodded
his head. Kevin turned to the two guardian dogs. "Do you too
wish to come along for the walk?" Kevin asked.
"Yes that is very nice of you to ask Prince
Sol, and I am sure that Eclipse won’t mind if we have to wear
the leashes." Nova calmly said as she looked from Kevin to
Eclipse.
The larger Doberman Pincher snorted and looked
at Nova. "No I won’t mind at all!" he said through clenched
teeth as he followed the group out the door.
After they all got their shoes on they were
out the door and on their way towards Alissa’s. The leaves were
starting to fall from the trees getting ready for the colder
winter months ahead. There had been no frost yet so therefore
the winter wouldn’t be too bad.
As they reached the end of Alissa’s driveway a
shrill laughter came through the air. All looking up into the
sky instantly. "Come on Stellar Scouts, if you want to put an
end, well at least try to put an end to all this terror you have
a minute to get to the Public Gardens!" Shi-ryuu’s voice echoed
as it faded away.
Jessica looked at her friends. "The Public
Gardens are on the other side of town! It will take twenty
minutes to get there!" She said alarmed.
"Transform now!" Eclipse said in a loud tone,
the group of six nodded their heads and held their
transformation items above their heads.
"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 lava 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 lava 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.
Sailor Sun smiled, "I got it!" She called out.
She stood with her legs a bit more then shoulder width apart.
Her hands were on her chest covering the heart in the middle of
her bow. She said the phrase in a whisper.
"SUN BUBBLE . . . . . TRANSPORT!"
The jewel in the center of her tiara began to
glow gold and red. From the tiara a small golden ball of energy
began to appear. The ball floated out in front of her and begun
to get larger and larger until it is big enough to fit herself
and her fellow senshi in along with Eclipse and Nova. Once
everyone was inside the bubble Sailor Sun continued to stand
with her hands on her chest. With her mind she began to control
the destination of the bubble telepathically.
Repeating the Public gardens over and over in
her head and picturing the location in her mind they were
instantly transported to the garden. Landing on the stage where
a band was usually playing on the summer days. But the park was
now closed due to the fall weather, everything was quite, there
was no sound of the chirping birds that could usually be heard
easily. The only sound was their breathing and the soft
trickling water in the close by stream.
"Ah you made it! And with time to spare!" Shi-ryuu
said, as he appeared in a flaming mass of fire, he looked down
at his arm as if there was a watch there. He turned to the
Stellar Scouts. "And now the games can commence!" With those
words he disappeared in a flaming mass and the Stellar Scout and
the two guardian dogs found themselves in different parts of the
large Garden.
Sailor Pollux stood in the center of the stage
looking around frantically. She heard a faint laugher all around
her; she spun around quickly to try to find out where the
laughter was coming from. "Who is there?!" She demanded as she
continued to circle.
The laughter stopped and turned into voices,
taunting voices, rude and mean voices that were taunting Alissa.
All taunting and repeating, saying the same rude things that she
had learned to shove into the back of her mind to be forgotten.
She closed her eyes tightly trying to block
the voices that she never wanted to hear again. She kept calling
out to them to stop, just as quickly as they started they
stopped, Sailor Pollux opened her eyes and there around her
everything was black, she felt so cold.
Something started to come through the
darkness; it was the other Stellar Scouts! Sailor Pollux began
to stand up and as she did the Stellar Scouts faces looked
angry. The blonde haired scout stopped and sat down.
"Alissa why are you always reading?! What a
loser, why don’t you go and sit under a tree and read away,
never time for anything else!" Sailor Sun said in a rude tone
that Sailor Pollux had never heard her talk with before.
"Yeah and why would science be your favorite
subject? That is for science freaks!" Sailor Capella said as she
stood there looking down at Sailor Pollux with uncaring eyes.
"You care more about those stupid horses then
you do of your friends! Whenever we try to do something together
you have to go down something with those smelly animals!" Sailor
Shaula said in a nasty tone.
Tears started to well up in Sailor Pollux’s
eyes. "And then there is that fact that you always cry! What a
little cry baby! So emotional, why can’t you ever stand up and
not cry?" Sailor Spica yelled.
The blonde haired scout shook her head and put
her hands to her ears trying to keep the voices from hurting her
anymore. But they continued to repeat over and over. The voices
of her friends saying such mean things, where they always
thinking things like this and just never telling her? She
thought as she shook her head and let her tears wet the bodice
of her uniform.
Shi-ryuu and Kurai-ki looked on from the
shadows and talked to themselves, Sailor Pollux could not hear
or see them. "This is working rather well, just look at the way
that she breaks down when she is taunted, much like Sailor
Capella when she was told of being left alone." The large demon
said as he turned to his brother.
"Yes so now that we know two of the scouts
weaknesses, we only have four more to go, and this is all to
easy! And just to think that they leave their fears there for us
to figure out so easily, then to use them against them!"
"SUN FIRE BEAM . . . . . BURN!"
Sailor Sun stood with her legs together, then
she put her hands together as if she were going to pray. She
closed her eyes and slowly lifted her hands towards the sky.
During the whole time Sailor Sun's hair was blowing fiercely
around her. There was a bright flash of golden and orange light
which caused her body to shimmer, then a large golden fireball
spun around Sailor Sun then turned and headed towards Shi-ryuu
and Kurai-ki. When it reached them the fireball began to spin
around them.
The nothingness that Sailor Pollux was stuck
in began to fade, but the voices didn’t stop, they just began to
fade slowly. While the two demons got small burns on their rough
hides.
"Meddling Stellar Scouts!" Shi-ryuu screamed
as he set out a fleet of the flaming bats that circled each of
the girls. Sailor Shaula stood up ready to fire out her attack.
"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
stage floor.
The two demons groaned with what little pain
they received form the attack, just as they both began to stand
up Sailor Spica fired out her attack. Putting them in their
place.
"SPICA LAVA RIVER . . . CHAR!"
She jumped up into the air and did a flip,
from the ground appeared a opening a few seconds a gush of lave
came up, Sailor Spica stood on the lava that bobbed above the
ground. The heat around her was emissive but didn’t seem to
bother her. As she did a back flip back the lava plunged down
onto the ground and roared towards Shi-ryuu and Kurai-ki at a
surprisingly fast speed. Seeming to leap up into the air the
river of lava plunged down upon the un-expecting demons.
"Alright Stellar Scouts you have beat us this
time, but we still got completed with your little friend over
there!" Shi-ryuu said angrily as he wiped some blood from his
lip pointing with his bloody hand to where Sailor Pollux sat.
The two demons disappeared, Shi-ryuu in the
flaming dragonhead while Kurai-ki in a swirling mass of leaves
and small twigs. The group ran over to where Sailor Pollux was
all curled up.
"Alissa!" Sailor Sun called out as she ran
over and shook her fellow Stellar Scouts body trying to get her
attention. Sailor Pollux sniffled and wiped the tears from her
eyes before looking up at her friend’s faces.
"What ever you heard or saw don’t believe it
because they were only images or voice from Kurai-ki and Shi-ryuu.
It was all fake!" The Daystar Knight said as he helped the small
fragile blonde to her feet.
"They didn’t seem fake." Sailor Pollux said
simply. The five others all looked to each other then back to
Sailor Pollux; come on lets go out for supper! I know a great
place that serves the best Scottish dumplings and potatoes!"
Sailor Sun suggested.
Sailor Pollux’s face instantly lit up. She
smiled and nodded her head. They all shared a laugh to the
mention of Sailor Pollux’s favorite food of all time. "Alright
then off we go!" Sailor Spica said as she began to lead the way.
Eclipse and Nova both cleared their thoughts,
which cause the senshi to turn to see what they wanted. "You
might want to de-transform first, it might look really odd if
the five of you walk into the restaurant looking like this!
Halloween is by far over!" Eclipse said as he looked at each of
the Senshi in turn. Shaking his head the whole time.
Another fit of laughter escaped each of the
senshi as the de-transformed and made their way to the
restaurant to have some dumplings and potatoes.
