Guardian of Dimensions - Chapter 2: Who were those senshi? ---------------------------------------------------------- After school, Usagi, Ami, Makoto and Minako went shopping, and Rei joined them. Usagi happily recounted the happenings of that morning. "And they all are really nice. They just moved here a few weeks ago, and..." "So you just went up to her and asked her to join you, even though you didn't know her at all?" Rei asked in disbelief. "Don't you realize how _rude_ is that?" "But Rei-chan!" Usagi protested. "She looked so lonely, just sitting there by herself, and she had that really sad look on her face, that I just had to ask her to join us!" "And I was really glad that she asked me" a voice said from behind them. The five girls turned to see Himeko standing there, smiling. She seemed to consider for a moment, then she turned to Rei. "Hino Rei, right? I'm Sorano Himeko, nice to meet you." Rei's eyes widened. "You are a sensitive?" Himeko laughed. "I suppose you could call me that too, Hino-san, though I really prefer the term "empath" myself." "So you can read people's mind and all that stuff? Cool!" Usagi said, excited. "Why didn't you tell us this morning?" "Because you didn't ask" Himeko replied. "Anyways, I can't exactly read people's mind. I can just catch randon thoughts, like your one that told me your friends' names, both this morning and now, Usagi-chan. Sort of like Hino-san does." She knew her lie wouldn't be discovered. None of them had the skills to do so. Suddenly, a loud scream filled the air. The inners immediately ran to see what had happened, leaving Himeko behind. When they arrived on the place, they saw a monster that seemed to be made of pure darkness bending over the unmoving body of a girl. They instantly transformed and faced the thing. "Leave alone that girl!" Sailor Moon yelled, her voice threatening. "I'm Sailor Moon, the pretty soldier for love and justice! I won't forgive you for trying to harm innocent people! In the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!" The monster looked up at her and laughed evilly. "Ha! You really thought you would impress me with that stupid speech?" "WHAT????" Sailor Moon yelled, on the edge of tears. "My speech is not stupid, you idiot darkie!!!! I'll teach you better to tease me!!! MOON GORGEOUS MEDITATION!!!!" The monster just laughed again, as it absorbed the attack and grew twice the size it was before. Sailor Moon stared for a moment in disbelief, then started crying. "Waaaaaaaah!!! My attack didn't wooooooork!!!" All the senshi covered their ears, but the monster seemed unaffected by the high-pitched noises coming from Sailor Moon and attacked them with a beam of darkness. The senshi were about to be hit, when suddenly... "WORLD SHAKING!" "DEEP SUBMERGE!" "Dead scream..." The Dead scream took care of the darkness beam, while the other two attacks flew towards the monster, who anyways absorbed them and grew again in size. The three Outer senshi jumped down of the roof they were standing on, joining the Inners. "Uranus! Neptune! Pluto! Watch out!" Mercury warned them. "That thing seems to be able to absorb our attacks and use their power to increase its size!" "I think I noticed, thank you" Uranus remarked sarcastically, making Mercury blush. "Yes, um, er, anyways, it looks like we can't defeat it...." Mercury stuttered. "Oh, wow, that's what I call a good new" Jupiter said dryly. "So now what do we do, Miss Genius? Have you got any idea?" "There's nothing you can do!" cackled the monster evilly. "Your attacks can't hurt me!!" "Maybe theirs can't....but _ours_ surely will!" a voice yelled arrogantly. And suddenly six senshi were standing where a moment before there was only air. The first one had light blue eyes and her silvery-greyish hair was tied in a loose ponytail by a dark aqua ribbon. The skirt, collar and choker of her fuku were dark aqua, while the bows, the piping of her glows (that reached to mid-forearm) and her knee-high boots were a blue-green.The shoulder pads were missing, and the bow on her back had long ribbons. In the center of her tiara shone a dark aqua crescent moon, and dark aqua was also the crescent-moon-shaped gem in the center of her front bow. "Sailor Miranda, soldier of rain!" she yelled. The one next to her had dark violet eyes and her silver hair reached to her knees in length. Her fuku was a exact replica of Miranda's, only it was purple where the other's was dark aqua and pink where the other's was blue-green. She wore mini-boots, laced up in white. "Sailor Oberon, soldier of clouds!" she introduced herself. The fuku the third one, with ice blue eyes and dark blue hair that fell to her waist, wore was exactly alike Miranda's one too, but it had silver-grey in place of dark aqua and light blue in place of blue-green. Her footwear consisted of half boots. "Sailor Titania, soldier of cold!" she claimed arrogantly. The fourth senshi had dark aqua hair, held up in a high ponytail by a light aqua ribbon, and light blue eyes. She wore a fuku identical to the ones the others wore: hers was blue-green and light aqua though. She wore knee-high boots, laced in white. "Sailor Ariel, soldier of air!" she said. The fifth one, clad in a similar, dark violet and dark blue fuku wearing half-boots laced in white, had dark violet eyes and her pitch-black hair was tied up in a chignon by a dark violet ribbon. "Sailor Umbriel, soldier of storms!" she said with a dangerous smirk. The last senshi had deep blue eyes and long sandy blonde hair that reached to her ankles. Her fuku was blue, but the color was so light it seemed white. The bows were of the same color, and in the center of the front one there was a blue gem with a white feather inside. Her boots were exactly alike the ones Uranus wore, but they had a white feather on their side. Instead of gloves, she wore two gold bracelets with another white feather hanging from them. White feathers were also her earrings, a white feather was hanging from the thin golden chain she had instead of a choker, and another one was shining in the center of her tiara. What at first seemed to be a long cloak were two wings that were folded on her shoulders and were so large they reached to her ankles. "Sailor Sunaru, guardian of dimensions and soldier of the sky!" she yelled. The monster cackled and sent out at them several beams of darkness. "Wall of Clouds" Oberon whispered, setting up a wall that shielded them from the attacks. "Pelting Raindrops!" Miranda yelled. "Freezing Ice Winds!" Titania cried out. "Crystal Blizzard!" Umbriel shouted. "Air Hurricane!" Ariel screamed. Sunaru closed her eyes, a long, thin sword appearing in her hand. She yelled "Dimensional Crash!", and the dimensional break she created made the monster unable to absorb the other attacks, thus being destroyed. And before any of the other senshi could thank them, they were gone, as mysteriously as they were arrived, vanishing into thin air.
