"Minako-chan this is perfect!"Aqua cried, spinning in a circle. She and the other girls had been working on an outfit for Aqua for about ten minutes and had finally found a perfect combo: A pair of beaded blue jeans with butterflys embroidered up the left leg, a pink tank top covered by a jean jacket, a pair of tennis shoes, and her hair was pulled up into a fancy hairstyle. "Well, I try!"Minako replied happily, stricking a pose. "Minako!"Rei cried, hitting her in the back of the head.
Then, the doorbell rang. Aqua looked out her window to see Damian. "It's him! I'll be back later so don't follow me ok?"Aqua cried, grabbing her purse and rushing out the door. "Were going to follow them aren't we?"Ami asked.
"DUH!"The others cried back. So they rushed out the door to follow the couple. Well, so far Aqua and Damian were having a great time: They had played a video game in the arcade and had a smoothie, Damian had done the crane machine and won her a stuffed Sailor Aquarius doll (She liked that a lot!), then decided to go to lunch.
When they arrived at the small resteraunt Aqua got a salad and a water and Damian got the same. "So Damian, do you believe in the Sailor Senshi?"Aqua asked, gently rubbing the head of her doll. "Yeah, but my favorite of all the senshi is that new one Sailor Aquarius."Damian replied, smiling at her. "She better not reveal her identity because of that!"Usagi whispered, a little too loudly.
"Oh, that's nice."Aqua replied, looking at her lap. Then, they both reached for their forks at the same time and ended up touching each other's hands and pulling away blushing. "Oh, kawaii ni!"Hotaru whispered, smiling. "Hey Aqua, do you want to take a walk at Juuban Lake?"Damian asked, standing up and holding out his hand.
"Sure Damian."Aqua replied, smiling and taking his hand allowing him to help her up. So they walked hand in hand down to Juuban Lake. They walked around it for what seemed like hours until they finally stopping under a Sakura Tree. "Aqua, you really are pretty you know."Damian said, smiling at her.
"Oh, not as pretty as my mother or my cousins Usagi,Minako, and Trinity, in fact, I'm ugly in comparison to all my friends."Aqua replied, looking at her friends. "I haven't met your friends yet, why don't you describe them to me?"Damian asked. "Well, there's my cousin Usagi. She has golden blonde hair down down to her ankles and bright blue eyes that remind you of the night sky itself. Then there's Ami. She has deep blue eyes and hair that comes down to her shoulders that reminds you of the sea. Then there's my best friend Rei. She has chocolate brown eyes and purple-black hair that reminds you of the color of a raven. Then there's Makoto. She has wavy brown hair that she always has in a ponytail and dark green eyes. Then there's Minako. She's the spitting image of Usagi except her hair is like mine: Down to her knees and always in a ribbon. Next there's Haruka She has sandy blonde hair that she wears in a boyish cut and really pretty eyes that when you look into them, it makes you want to be free and fly into the sky like her mind seems to always be doing. Then there's Michiru. She's one of the prettiest girls I've ever met, with wavy aqua hair that falls to her shoulder and beautiful eyes to match that make you seem like your falling straight into the sea. That's why we always joke that since Haruka and Michiru are dating that a hurricane will always follow in their wake. Then there's Setsuna, the oldest of us all. She has beautiful knee length green hair that she wears some of it in a small bun on the top of her head and green eyes that match perfectly. Next there's Hotaru, the baby of us all. She has almost shoulder length pure black hair and deep purple eyes that remind me so much of her mom. Lastly there's my cousin Trinity, Usagi's siter. She has light brown hair she always has up and beautiful eyes to match that reminds me of the Sun itself."Aqua explained, watching Damian's face as she explained.
From the girls' hiding place they all started crying. They had all thought they weren't pretty but the way Aqua described them it made them all sound like queens. "Well Aqua, they all DO sound really pretty. But not as pretty as you."Damian replied, smiling at her again.
"You really mean that Damian?"Aqua asked, looking at his eyes. "Really and truly I do Aqua."Damian replied, leaning in closer to her and closing his eyes and she following suit. They were about to kiss when a green beam shot between them. "Ah, young love makes me sick!"A voice cried.
They both looked up into the air to find a girl who looked similar to Hoshiko except her sailor fuku was black and green. "Aqua run! I'll hold her off!"Damian cried, blocking the space between her and the girl. "Damian don't!"Aqua cried, remembering what these women were capable of. "Have it your way pretty boy."The girl said, knocking him off his feet with another green beam.
"Damian run! I'll be fine!"Aqua cried, standing up. "But..."Damian started. "Just go!"Aqua cried. So he left.
"Eternal Aquarius Power, Make-Up!"Aqua cried, transforming. "Now, who are you?!"Aqua cried, her wand ready in her hand. "I'm Soul Stealer Akemi, here to replace my sister is wiping the memories of your once called friend you sniviling sailor brat!"The girl now known as Akemi cried, charging up a beam in her hand. "Angel Harmonic Barrage!"Aqua cried, launching her attack but it doing no effect.
"You call that a beam? THIS is a beam!"Akemi chuckled shooting the now fully charged beam at Aqua and hitting her head on. Akemi launched another beam at Aqua and she screamed but something stopped it. She looked at her feet to see a silver crystal moon. She looked from where it came from to see a boy who was dressed similar to Tuxedo Kamen.
"Don't give up Eternal Sailor Aquarius! Use this!"He said, tossing her something and her catching it. When she looked down in her hands she saw something she hadn't seen since the Silver Milleneum- "The Spiral Star Moon Rod!"Aqua cried, staring at her old weapon in awe. "Use it!"The boy said. "Right! Moon Spiral Starry Attack!"Aqua cried, releasing the attack and knocking Akemi out of the air.
"Arigato, you really saved me back there."Aqua said, looking at her feet. "No prob."He replied, starting to walk off. "Matte, who are you?"Aqua asked, looking at him. "All you need to know is my name is the Midnight Marauder and my duty is to protect you at all cost. Now, Ja Ne."He replied, smiling and walking off.
"Arigato, Midnight Marauder-sama."Aqua said. So she walked off to go back home. Somewhere in the North Pole... "Now arise!"Hoshiko cried, opening the case that held Naoko.
She stepped out of the case and smirked at her. "So this is who I have to work with? Pathetic."Naoko said. "Why you-"Hoshiko started, going over to her. "Sailor Shadow, I am pleased to have you working on our side now."The dark woman said, smiling at her new underling.
"I am no longer Sailor Shadow."Naoko said. "Oh? And what do you wished to be called?"The woman asked. "Call me-Shadowwing."Naoko replied. "Very well Shadowwing."The woman said, smiling with pleasure at Naoko.
"Hoshiko, your dismissed permenatly."The woman said, releasing a bolt of dark energy from her hand that struck Hoshiko down with the first hit. "Now, what do you wish to do Shadowwing?"The woman asked, walking over to her. "Have one of the underlings bring me- Sailor Aquarius but don't harm her."Shadowwing said. "Very well, Akemi."The woman replied, calling Akemi to her side.
"Yes my queen?"Akemi asked. "You heard what Shadowwing asked, make it so."The woman said, not even turning to look at her. "Very well."Akemi said, teleporting away. "Now, I am going to my chambers."Shadowwing said, walking off to the small dark room.
So she sat in the room and wait for Akemi to bring back the one person she was going to beat so Crystal Tokyo would cease to exist, Sailor Aquarius.
