Sailor Moon Elves By: Hotaru-chan E-mail addy: striking_saturn@hotmail.com RATING: PG This is my first attempt at a fanfic, so don't take it TOO hard on me. I tried to be original as possible. The names you might need to know for the prologue are: Tsukino Usagi - Serena/Sailor Moon Meiou Setsuna - Susan/Sailor Pluto Tomoe Hotaru - Holly/Sailor Saturn Sailor Moon Elves Chapter Two: Surprise Wind A girl was tranquilly walking down the street. She had short light brown hair with a streak of pink framing her face on either side. Her green eyes were over looking the street in front of her. She wore the girls’ uniform of Juuban Collage, a long navy blue skirt, white long sleeved shirt with a navy blue collar and two yellow lines, and knee socks. From behind her appeared a navy blue form with bouncing blonde hair. This person drew closer and closer, unsuspected by the girl. The person, being too involved in her running, didn’t noticed the brunette and bumped into her, sending them both sprawling on the ground. The brunette raised her head and was about to shout at the person when she was taken off guard by the girl’s strange hairdo. It was done in two odangos. "Hi! I’m so sorry about that! I’m Tsukino Usagi, by the way. Hey, you go to Juuban Collage too! Well, we better get on our way or we’ll be late!" Usagi chatted. She jumped up and offered her hand to the girl. The girl smiled, took it, and was up in no time. "You’re not hurt, are you . . ." Usagi grasped for her name. "I’m Bikkuri Kaze." the girl introduced herself, "And, no, I’m not hurt. Thanks. Well, lets get going to school. I don’t want to be late for my first day of school." With that, the two were off. A man walking down the street later said that he saw two girls running by at the speed of light. * * * Netroglene sat on a white table in a brightly lit room. Surrounding him were medicine cabinets, potions, herbs, bandages, and crutches of all sorts. Behind him was a tall woman with sharp, dark blue eyes that one could confuse with black and blue hair so light, one could mistake it for white. She wore a white top with a long, flowing blue skirt. She was applying ointments to Netroglene’s wounds with a sort of dreamy look. When, by accident, she did something to hurt him, she looked like she was going to die of seeing him in pain. "That damn Apollo! We should have managed to kill her when we killed Uchuno!" Netroglene fumed while the girl was working an a deep cut on his arm. "Yes, we should have, but there was one small problem, Netroglene." she said. "What’s that, Strichilla?" "The Princess, her sister, and some people from her court were sent elsewhere and we were unable to find them because their energy was too low to send of signals. We searched for a decade, remember?" Strichilla replied. "Ah, yes. Still, we could of prevented their escape to that star." Netroglene raged. Strichilla smiled and said nothing. "Pondering your failure, Old Man?" a new voice asked. "What do you mean, ‘Old Man’?" Netroglene snarled, not bothering to face his attacker. "Why, haven’t you lived for centuries? I consider that fairly old, don’t know about you, though, Failure." the voice said. "Did you just call me a failure?" Netroglene snapped and jumped up to face this impertinent man. "Netroglene! Come back here and let me finish dressing your wounds!" Strichilla protested. "I asked you a question, Masaya." Netroglene growled, ignoring Strichilla. "I think I did address you as a failure, Failure. For sure *I* wouldn’t have missed my chance to kill the Princess." the man snorted and came out of the shadows, "What a pathetic looser, you are, Netroglene. Loosing a sword fight to a woman, of all things!" Masaya was a tall man with dark brown hair and bright, vibrant green eyes. He was muscular with broad shoulder and wore a simple black shirt with pants. His only ornament was the golden chain that hung about his neck with a locked locket on it and a black star with a silver shadow on his forehead. "She was very good. I bet anything that you wouldn’t be able to beat her!" spat Netroglene. Masaya’s brows knitted and his eyes darkened as he created a large, impressive sword with a golden handle that had all sorts of sketches in it. "Don’t know if I could beat her, but I know for sure I could beat YOU!" Masaya darkly said then lunged foreword to strike Netroglene. Suddenly, another sword appeared and parried Masaya’s sword for Netroglene. This sword was all black with a red line running through the blade. "This isn’t your fight, Hemlock!" yelled Masaya while paring a blow. "Yes, it is. Listen, boy, Netroglene is your superior. He’s had far more experience than you, lad. You have far too much self-confidence. Give it up, boy, put your sword down and be rational." Hemlock said and cut Masaya’s right thigh. "I am being rational, when a someone insults me, they pay!" answered Masaya and attempted to hit Hemlock. Hemlock easily dodged out of the way and threw Masaya on the ground. He got on top of him and pointed his sword at Masaya’s neck. "Now, sonny, I’m going to ask you nicely one last time. Put your sword away." Hemlock softly said. Masaya stared into the face of Hemlock. He was an ugly man, short with gray tinted skin, purple eyes, and dark green hair in a bob cut. He dressed in shades of blue and the black star with a silver shadow on his forehead he hid with his bangs. Beside his physical defects, Hemlock had a sharp mind and monstrous strength. With a soft ‘POP’, Masaya’s sword was gone. A smile crossed Hemlock’s face. "That’s better." he said, got up, and offered Masaya his hand. Masaya reluctantly took it and was up on his feet in a fraction of a second. He looked at Netroglene and frowned. "You’re lucky that Hemlock got here when he did, Old Man." Masaya said. "No, YOU'RE lucky." Netroglene corrected him, "Even like this I could beat you." "Boys, we are passed our hundredth birthday! Let’s act like grown men here. Even if Netroglene has failed to kill the Princess, he has found the location of the Elfin Senshi, or, more importantly, the Elfin Senshi’s leader. If he hadn’t, we would still be searching every single planet in every solar system. Ease up, Masaya. Taking your job to hard will get you into early retirement!" chuckled Hemlock. "Now that that is settled, come back here and let me finish dressing your wounds, Netroglene." Strichilla said. Netroglene obediently walked over to the table and sat down. Strichilla started appling ointments to his cuts again. A mirage of Queen Tamashino’s black eyes suddenly appeared. They looked over the four people in the room. After a few minutes, they finally fell on Hemlock. "Hemlock, you are to take over Netroglene’s mission until he recovers. Do not fail or prepare to meet your fate." Tamashino ordered. "Yes, me Queen." Hemlock said and bowed. With that, the mirage vanished. * * * Kaze and Usagi were calmly walking down a mansion-filled street. Usagi looked at all the beautiful, huge houses around her with wonder. She’d been down this street before, she was certain. As they passed a particularly big and beautiful house, Usagi thought she noticed the small, dark figure reading under the large Maple. She stopped and looked at the small, dark girl closer and instantly realized who it was. "KONNICHIWA, HOTARU-CHAN!!!!!!" Usagi yelled and waved frantically. Hotaru looked up, saw Usagi, and waved back. She carefully got up, as not to wrinkle her knee-height black skirt, and walked over to Usagi and Kaze. "Hi, Usagi!" Hotaru exclaimed as she came up to her, then, realizing she was faced with a stranger, immediately blushed and looked at the ground. Usagi, instantly aware of the cause of Hotaru’s reaction, spoke up. "Oh, Kaze, this is Tomoe Hotaru. Hotaru-chan, this is Bikkuri Kaze. Kaze-chan, Hotaru must live on your street. Isn’t that so totally turbular?" Usagi mocked the American way of talking. That did it. It broke the ice. Kaze and Hotaru broke up laughing. When the laughter died down, Kaze shook Hotaru’s hand and looked at her house. "You live here?" Kaze asked Hotaru and motioned at her house. Hotaru nodded in responce. "Really? I live right there." With a slender finger, Kaze pointed at the house coming up right beside Hotaru’s. "We’re neighbors then!" exclaimed Hotaru, "Everybody on this street is so old! There’s finally some one my age. It’s about time! Say, are you the daughter of Bikkuri Katsu?" "No." Kaze replied. "But you’ve got the same -" Hotaru started. "I’m his granddaughter." Kaze interrupted. "Uh, guys? I think I’m missing something here. Exactly who is Bikkuri Katsu? Besides Kaze’s grandfather, of course." Usagi inputted. "Bikkuri Katsu is just about the richest business man in Tokyo!" Hotaru exclaimed. Kaze blushed. "We’re not that rich." she murmured, "Anyhow, can we please change the subject? People always act all silly when they talk about Ojii-chan (grandpa). What school do you go to, Hotaru?" "I go to Mugen Gakuen High School. I take it you go to the same school as Usagi, Juuban Collage, am I right?" Hotaru asked, over-looking Kaze’s neat uniform. Kaze nodded. The wind blew and took Usagi’s broach, which was loosly pinned on, with it. Usagi franticlly looked around her, trying to find the valuable broach containing the Ginzuishou (Silver Crystal). "Did you loose something, Usagi-chan?" Kaze asked her, breaking her and Hotaru’s conversation. "Yeah. My henshin broach." Usagi said absent-mindedly. "Huh? Henshin broach? How can you have a transformation broach?" Kaze inquired, but received no answer, for both Hotaru and Usagi were looking for it. Suddenly, Hotaru heard the clicking of heels behind her and a slender dark hand appeared in front of her face. It opened and Usagi’s broach was there. The holder of the hand opened the broach and showed the Ginzuishou to Hotaru. It was the third time only when Hotaru had seen the sacred crystal. The crystal overflowed Hotaru and the other person with a kind of serene energy. The broach was quickly shut. Hotaru jumped up and whirled around to find Setsuna. "What are you doing here, Setsuna-san?" Hotaru demanded. "I thought I would visit my favourite representative of Death. Good thing I did, or the Princess’ crystal would have fallen in the wrong hands. Where is Usagi?" Setsuna answered. "She’s over there with Kaze. I think she’s going to have a heart attack soon if she doesn’t find it. We better hurry." Hotaru said and the two went of toward Usagi. They found Usagi looked down a gutter on her hands and knees with Kaze looking at her with a very bewildered expression on her face. Setsuna walked up behind Usagi, tapped her on the shoulder and dangled the broach in front of her. Usagi grabbed it and held tightly to it. She got up and embraced Setsuna so ferociously that Setsuna almost fell back. Tears streamed down Usagi’s face as she clung her friend. "Thank you. Thank you." she kept whispering over and over, clutching her broach as well as Setsuna. Setsuna stroked Usagi’s hair and mumbled conferting things. Kaze stared at Usagi dumbly. She couldn’t understand why somebody would care for some stupid broach so much. Finally, Usagi’s sniffles died down and she looked at her three friends bashfully. She was embarassed of having lost her cool in public. Setsuna and Hotaru, who knew the meaning of the Ginzuishou, were baffled by her embarassment. A ghostly chuckle then was heard by the girls. "Who’s there?" demanded Setsuna as Usagi hurried to clasp the broach back on. "My, is that the Ginzuishou you’re struggly with?" a voice asked, ignoring Setsuna’s question. "Yeah, but you can have it! Moon Eternal Power! Make Up!" Usagi yelled. "Pluto Crystal Power! Make Up!" Setsuna said, following Usagi’s lead. "Saturn Crystal Power! Make Up!" Hotaru shouted. Soon, Eternal Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Pluto and Saturn were standing where the three girls had stood before. Kaze was watching the whole thing in shock. Here green eyes were wide and her mouth was low. "U-usagi? H-hotaru?" she muttered, "You’re . . . you’re Sailor Senshi?" Eternal Sailor Moon looked over her shoulder and smiled at Kaze, then turned back to where the voice was coming from. "Show yourself!" she commanded. "Alright." the voice chuckled. An image wavered in and out infront of them. An ugly man with gray tinted skin, purple eyes, and dark green hair in a bob cut appeared. He was dressed in a dark blue shirt and pants. "I am Hemlock of the Dark Nova Empire. Now, hand me over the Ginzuishou, your henshin sticks, the Talismen, and Apollo’s location and your death will be an easy one. If you resist, I will be forced to take other actions." Hemlock said. "You seriously think we’ll just hand over our henshin sticks?" a new voice asked and four figures jumped down around Eternal Sailor Moon. "Ah, the Inner Senshi. Welcome to my party. Now all we need is Neptune and Uranus, and the reunion shall be complete. How wonderful, I get to kill you all at once and not spend my time tracking you. You made my job so much easier. Thank you." Hemlock smirked. "You won’t get us that easily!" Jupiter declared, "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" She sent the lightning leaves at Hemlock. Hemlock sent a blast of water at the attack and stopped the attack. Jupiter braced herself, thinking he would sent the attack back at her, but the leaves just fell to the ground, lifeless. "H - how . . . how did you . . . did you do that?" Jupiter stammered. Nobody had ever deactivated her electric leaves, especially nobody with water powers. He should of been electrocuted. "Surprised, Jupiter? All of you will die as effortlessly and easily as those pathetic leaves." he spat out. "Not if I have anything to say about it! World Shaking!" a husky voice declared and a golden energy ball flew at Hemlock from behind him. It hit him in the back and he fell to the ground. He got up and turned around. His purple eyes met a pair of icy blue ones. His lips curved into a smirk at the same time as Uranus’. "SHINDE (die)!" they both screamed simultaneously and produced their swords. They two engaged in combate and they circled each other. None of the Senshi attacked, fearing they would hit Uranus by accident. The two were equal to each other, both in skill and size. "Apollo Shining Honesty Light!" a voice was heard to yell and a white light beam struck Hemlock in the arm. His black sword was struck out of his hand and landed several feet away from him. He held his hand in pain and turned around, his eyes narrowed. When he saw who the imposter was, they widened. "The Light Princess." he murmured. "I am Sailor Apollo, and, on behalf of all the pure souls, I shall defeat you!" she introduced. "Please, do try." Hemlock said. "So I shall." she answered and lunged foreward. Her sword formed in her hands and she attempted to stab Hemlock. Hemlock rolled out of the way to his own sword. When she turned to sove the blade through his heart, he parried it with his own sword, which he was holding in his unwounded hand. "You actually think you can defeat me? You pathetic old fool. I am in top shape, much younger and powerful while you are hurt, old, and WEAK." she hissed while evading a blow. He grunted and raised his sword above her. He thrusted it down and she rolled out of the way. When she looked up, a terrified Kaze greeted her. Tears were streaming down her face and she was shivering. "Aeolus?" Apollo asked. Kaze looked at her with a bewildered look on her face. "Here, touch this for me. Please." Apollo asked. She took out a silver oval stone. In the middle was a sketched gray cloud surrounded by five stars, one red, orange, yellow, green, and blue, in that order. Kaze put her trembling finger on the stone. A silver aura surrounded her hand, then moved up her arm, and finally surrounded her whole body. A gray cloud out lined with silver flashed on her forehead. Her hair flew about her and a silver beam of light surrounded her and shot up in the sky. When the light died down, the symbol on her forehead had steadied and the aura had dissappeared. "W-what was th-that?" Kaze stammered, feeling her forehead. "Your powers returning to you. Here, take this stone. It’s the Wind Stone. You’ll know what to do from here." Apollo instructed, then stood up to battle Hemlock. Kaze held the stone. It felt warm and familiar. Slowly, images came to her. Yes, she knew what to do. She knew who she truely was and what she was meant to do. She looked at the beautiful stone one more time before holding it up in the air. "Aeolus Wind Transformation Power! Make Up!" she shouted. She raised the Wind Stone into the air and bands of swirling wind rise from the earth and spiraled around her. The wind died down and a silver light washed over her. After the light vanishef, she was in her SailorFuku. She was dressed in an off-the shoulder sky blue top with lime green pom-poms by the shoulers, the sleeves were lined in lime green fringe, and in the middle of her chest was a dark blue corset tied with golden ribbon, sky blue short pants, and white boots pointing downward. At the top of her boots was a sky blue stripe with a gray cloud in the middle. Around her wrists was a golden ribbon forming an ‘X’. On her forehead was a gray cloud. She looked around her and saw tha Apollo was pinned down by Hemlock while Hemlock was virtually washing away all the attacks from the Senshi. She felt her powers returning to her as her anger built. "Hey, you!" she called out. Hemlock turned around. Being caught off gaurd, he let his water shield drop. He was blasted in the chest by five fire arrows. He turned back o Mars and growled. "Don’t you know water outs fire out, Little One?" he snapped and shot a funnel of water at her. She fell to the ground on the verge on unconsciousness. He then raised his water sheild again and got ready to finish Apollo off. "Aeolus Wind Blast!" Aeolus shouted. A gust of wind blew from behind her toward Hemlock. It blew her hair all around her. It flew right by her toward Hemlock. It was as strong as a hurricane wind, so it got through his wall of water at the same time that Pluto’s attack did. The double attack hit Hemlock on either side and he fell to the ground, his sword once again flying away from him. "You wretched Senshi just don’t know when to stop, now do you?" a musical voice asked. Uranus looked over to where the voice was coming from. She raised her hand to the sky, preparing to attack, when, from another spot, black lightning hit her. She fell to the ground, limp. Neptune ran over to her. "I can project my voice, just letting you know." the voice said. "Who are you? More importantly, WHERE are you?" Mars asked, looking all around her, a ward ready in her hand. "Right here." the voice said from where the lightning had come, "My name is Iodilia. I am a General for the Dark Nova Empire. Would you like me to show my self? Never mind, I WANT to show myself." A beautiful woman stepped out of the shadows. She had waist length wavy dark blue hair and black eyes. She was dressed in a tight black top, tight leather pants, a black high heels. A silver chain was around her waist and she wore long, thin silver earrings to match. A black star shadowed her forehead. "Now, since poor, poor Hemlock can’t complete his mission, being so badly wounded by you strong Senshi, I’ll have to take over." she said, sneering. "He couldn’t defeat us, what makes us think YOU can?" Saturn coldly asked. "He was an arrogant old fool and I’m not, that’s why. Now, didn’t your Mommy ever tell you not to play with sharp things?" Iodilia asked Saturn with fake concern. In the blink of an eye she was beside Saturn. Even faster, Iodilia grabbed dthe Silence Glaive from her and swung it at the back of her knees. Saturn fell face first on the ground and groaned. "Oh!" Iodilia giggled. Her giggle was so high pitched most of the Senshi had to cover their ears. "The Queen will be so proud of me! I have part of the third point! And I owe it all to you worthless Senshi." "Third point?" Aeolus repeated, "Third point for what?" "Oh, how silly of me. I’m getting ahead of myself. After I have collected all the points, then I shall tell you what for. Now to get the rest. Who holds the Talismen? Of course, you’re not going to answer." she said in her annoying, high pitched voice. With that, she took a little blue dust from one of the black pouches on her waist. She daintily threw it all the Senshi. Nothing happened. Then, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto began to glow with a pure, white light. The light seemed to be coming from their hearts. "Ah, the three carriers of the talismen. Please to meet you, for the first and last time. Hemlock, quit fooling around. You know the ones to kill." Iodilia ordered, all of a sudden serious. Hemlock stifly got up and got his sword. "Eeney, Meeney, Miney, Mo." he said while moving his sword between Neptune and Pluto. To him, Uranus was of no concern. She seemed unconscious, so she must be. He suddenly felt something very sharp in the middle of his back. He turned his head and was faced with a frosty glare. "Never underestimate your oponent. That was what Mother always told me." she murmured. The Senshi standing infront of him suddenly saw the white tip of a sword sticking out of his stomach. Blood started spilling out of his mouth. His purple eyes rolled back in his head as Apollo prepared to finish him. "APOLLO SWORD CLENSE!" she shouted. White light burst out of the Truth Sword and surrounded Hemlock. Black light also formed and the two seemed to battle. Finally, there was an explosion of white light. When the light died down, Hemlock was on the ground surrounded by white light. There was no more star on his forehead and he wore a pair of jeans instead of his uniform. "Wh-what happened?" Mercury asked, a little shocked. "I cured him. I offered him innocence. If he accepted it, his evil would vanish and he’d live, as is the case. If he had refused it, though, the purity would implement itself in him and he would litterally be blown away." Apollo said and smiled gently, "His wound will be healed by the good he feels now." "Hemlock." Iodilia whispered. Since childhood she had loved this man, but never showed it. Now he was as good as dead in her mind. What good would an honest, immaculate man be to her now? She regretted being so harsh and bullyish with him now Maybe if she had been kinder, he wouldn’t of embraced the light like that. "You . . . you BEASTS!" she screamed and threw a massive black lightning bolt at Apollo. "Aeolus Wind Insulate!" Aeolus quickly yelled. Wind flew from behind her and around Apollo, forming a protective wind wall. The wall grew black from the lightning it had absorbed. Aeolus shook as she took in the energy, it was the most negative thing she had ever felt. "Wind Energy Give!" she chanted and sent a black blast at Apollo. The energy entered Apollo, who was still weak from cleansing Hemlock. The energy penetrated her and she let out a low moan. She looked at her hands. They were glowing with white energy. Her body had changed the negative energy into pure energy, making her more powerful. "Apollo Sword Desolation!" she yelled while her sword appeared in her hand once more. She held the sword above her head and then swung it downward. A bright light emitted from the tip of the sword and a rings of light flew at Iodilia. One of them wrapped around her, while the others were heading straight for her. "AAAAAHHHHH!" Iodilia yelled. She shut here eyes, getting ready for her annihilation, when she remembered something. She opened her eyes and franticlly looked around her. Here eyes landed on a tree behind Apollo. In a quick flash of lightning, Iodilia wasn’t trapped anymore and was standing behind the Senshi. "Have you forgotten I can displace any part of me, including my whole self?" Iodilia asked and started forming a huge lightning bolt. ~Iodilia, now is not the time for revenge. Come back at once. Understood?~ Queen Tamashino’s voice said in Iodilia’s head. Iodilia growled, but didn’t protest. "Sorry, Senshi. I’ll kill you another day. More important things are calling." she smirked and, in a flash of lightning, she was gone. "Strange lady." Uranus murmured as she stood up. Eternal Sailor Moon looked about her. There was good and bad to this battle. Hemlock was now humane was the good thing, but Saturn’s Glaive was gone, and that was the bad thing. She started at Hemlock. The good that had over come him seemed to make him more attractive. Her gaze then fell across Sailor Aeolus. Kaze. Bikkuri Kaze. She slowly walked over to her and sat down on the road curb. Aeolus sat down too. "So . . . Kaze-chan. I guess you’re Sailor Aeolus, eh?" Sailor Moon asked. "Guess so . . . Usagi-chan." Aeolus replied and smiled, "Don’t worry, the fierce Sailor Moon’s true idendity won’t pass the Wind Sprite’s lips." The two fell on each other in a fit of giggles. Apollo sat down beside Aeolus. "They’re after the Celestial Crown." she declared. "Huh? The Celestial Crown? What’s that?" Mercury asked, sitting beside Apollo. The rest of the Senshi too sat down, getting ready to listen to Apollo’s story. "Don’t you think that if somebody walked by and saw eleven Senshi on the curb of the road it might look a little bit wierd? Since we’re allies, I think we should each share our identies." Venus said. "I agree." Sailor Moon nodded. "Well, if the Princess agrees, then so do I." Pluto said. "Alright. I am Tsukino Usagi, Eternal Sailor Moon, and Princess Serenity. In the name of the Moon, I will triumph over evil, and that means the Dark Nova Empire!" Sailor Moon announced. "I’m the spirit of fire, Hino Rei, Super Sailor Mars! On behalf of the red fire planet, all scumbags shall vanquish!" Mars said, following Sailor Moon’s lead. "Mizuno Ami, Super Sailor Mercury. Douse yourself in some water and repent." "Kino Makoto, Super Sailor Jupiter, best cook out there!" "Aino Minako, Super Sailor Venus, Sailor V. You’re thinking I’m just another pretty blonde. In my case, what you see is definately not what you get, Sailor V is for victory!" "Meiou Setsuna, Super Sailor Pluto, Keeper of Time. I, the soldier of eternity, will right wrongs in the name of the planet Pluto!" "Ten’ou Haruka, Super Sailor Uranus." Uranus said, forgetting to make a fancy introduction. "Kaiou Michiru. The planet of a sea of sand is my gaurdien deity, Super Sailor Neptune!" "Tomoe Hotaru. I am the melancholic warrior, Super Sailor Saturn." "Jun Sei, Sailor Apollo, Princess Sei, the Princess of Light, leader of the Elfin Senshi. May the truth be with you!" "Bikkuri Kaze, Sailor Aeolus. Whenever you feel the wind, remember me!" "The rest of us we haven’t found." Apollo said. "How many more Elfin Senshi are there?" Mars asked. "As many as there are Sailor Senshi. See, in the universe, there are parallel solar systems. Everything evolves at the same time and things happen simultaneously. The Elfin Senshi are the Sailor Scouts equals from another universe. I am equal to Sailor Moon, for example." Sailor Apollo explained. "So . . . one of you is equal to me?" Venus asked, a bit perplexed. Apollo nodded. "Yes, I’m looking for the rest now, but I’m missing a few Henshin Stones." "Henshin stones?" Pluto repeated. "Yes. We transform with magical stones." Apollo answered. "Which are we missing?" Aeolus asked. "The Dream Stone, the Fire Stone, and the Land Stone, but I’m guessing that they, Morpheus, Vesta, and Ceres, have them. Anyhow, we better power down, ne?" Apollo asked. With that, all Senshi touched their chest and, in a flash of silver light, were teenage girls again. Michiru gasped when she saw that in Apollo’s place stood Sei. She hadn’t actually beleived Apollo when she said she was Jun Sei. "Didn’t beleive me, ne, Michiru-chan?" Sei asked Michiru with a playful shove. "How about y’all come over to my house. It’s right next door and Ojii-chan won’t mind the company. Hmm, how about it?" Kaze asked. After a bit murmuring of who could go and who couldn’t, Setsuna went with Hotaru to her house, comforting her about the loss of the Silence Glaive, and Minako left toward her house. The rest went with Kaze. (NOTE: Unless you didn’t catch on, Kaze’s name means, Bikkuri Kaze, ‘Surprise Wind’.) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Well, whatcha think?
