2 of Sailor Moon Mixed: Starlight's return! A new enemy coming?
By Razzy
Three months. Three months had gone by since Mamoru had died. Usagi had spent the first two months being totally depressed, but she began going back to her normal self by the third month. She acted happy enough, but her friends knew it was just that, acting. They knew that she was still hurting inside, and nothing could change it. One afternoon, Usagi was walking home with Minako, when something caught Minako's eye. She stopped dead in her tracks and stared at a poster.
"Hm? Minako-chan? What is it?" Usagi asked, and looked over Minako's shoulder. All she saw was a poster of the latest American idol, Heart Kou. She was becoming very popular in Japan as well. Minako let out a startled gasp.
"U… Usagi-chan! Look at this poster!" Next to the Heart poster, was a poster that was almost all to familiar. It read: Three Lights announce return to the music world! Return concert on Sunday! Get your tickets today! And on it, was a picture of Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki. Usagi gasped as well.
"They're coming back?" She asked, disbelief in her voice.
"Look!" Said Minako, pointing to small print on the poster. "They're arriving at the airport in less than an hour!"
"Oh, wow! Let's get the others and go greet them! Okay?"
"OKAY!!" The two of them set off running. In about 15 minutes, they were part of a giant crowd of people that came to see the Three Lights. Sure enough, there they were. Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki. They were all there, being virtually mugged by all their fans. They finally managed to break away from all the people, and found Usagi and the other four girls waiting for them.
"Hi, Odango!" Seiya said casually.
"I'm surprised. You came to meet us here." Yaten said.
"Of course we did!" Usagi exclaimed. "What did you expect?"
"Why did you come back?" Ami asked Taiki.
"Well, it's not just for a visit…" He replied. "You see, we are nearing another crisis. Princess Fireball sent us here to help you fight it. She said you could defeat it, but we had a part to play."
"And she said we have to stay here for two whole years!" Yaten muttered.
"Crisis?"
Usagi asked, worriedly.
"A new enemy is coming to this planet, Odango. And it's even worse
than Chaos." Seiya said, his voice hard and serious.
"What? Even worse than Chaos?" Minako asked in disbelief. Yaten nodded.
"And much more powerful." He said.
"So why are you guys being idols again?" Makoto asked.
"The Princess told us to, so we did without questioning her. She told us to shine just as much as we did trying to find her. So that's what we'll do." Seiya responded.
"We should go now, but we'll see you guys in class." Taiki said. "Oh, except for you, Rei-san." Rei looked angry and disappointed. Minako stood for a moment, looking like she was thinking over something that she had seen before.
"Kou?" She asked slowly.
"Hn?" Yaten looked at her strangely.
"Kou! That's your last name, right?" Minako's light blue eyes were lit up with realization.
"What of it?" Yaten asked impatiently.
"Well, do you happen to know a girl named Heart?" She asked, looking at him closely. A flicker of recognition traveled through the Three Lights.
"Why?"
"Well, Usagi-chan and I saw this poster with a girl named Heart Kou on it! I was wondering if she was related to you or something, but I guess that's silly, huh?"
"Not exactly…" Yaten muttered.
"I'm very sorry, Minako-san, but we must be going now." Taiki smiled, and nodded to his brothers. The three of them walked away, leaving the others in confusion.
"What was all that about?" Ami wondered out loud. The girls exchanged glances.
"I think we should find out something on this Heart person. It's obvious that they know her…" Rei said. The others nodded earnestly. They agreed to meet the next day after school, if possible, to discuss it.
Usagi's thoughts were a jumble as she laid in her bed that night, wide awake. Seiya and the others had come back… but were they this dimension's, or the real one's? She had gotten used to the idea that she was in another dimension. That was the only way she could deal with the death of Mamoru. He was alive-- in her world. She just had to keep her mind cleared and positive, and everything would work out all right in the end. But now there was a new enemy on the way, bad enough for the Starlights to follow it to Earth. The mild days of peace in this strange place would end too, and no matter what the circumstances, Usagi was resolved not to let anything happen to this place.
