Chapter 9: The Sister Planets Team Up! Also, Seiya and Chibi-Usa’s Spooky Challenge! Minako looked down and screamed. “Help! What am I doing on a mountain!?” she shrieked, starting to slide. “Hang on, Aino-san!” shouted a voice. Someone pulled her up to a ledge! “Oh my! Tsukino-san, what are you doing here?” gasped Minako. “The same to you. Maybe we should use our new Senshi powers and transform?” suggested Ikuko, who had pulled up the goofy blonde. “Okay, but I don’t know what’s going on. Venus Crystal Power!” “Earth Cosmic Power!” “Make Up!” The two Senshi looked at each other. “So what should we do now?” asked Minako. “How about looking up, please?” said a voice. The two Senshi looked to see a young woman with long, light blue hair. She was holding Sailor Moon’s Tier! “How did you get my daughter’s wand?! And who are you?” asked Sailor Earth. “Pleased to fight you. I am Sailor Aluminum Siren,” said their challenger. “We are the Sister Planet Senshi! I am Sailor Earth!” “And I’m Sailor Venus...Sister Planet Senshi?” asked Sailor Venus, confused. “Earth and Venus are sometimes called the sister planets,” explained Sailor Earth. “Huh? Are you sisters?” asked Aluminum Siren, forgetting that she had challenged them to a fight. “No we’re not! Venus Love and Beauty Shock!” shouted Sailor Venus, throwing a giant yellow heart beam at the clueless villain. “Galactica Tsunami!” countered Aluminum Siren. Sailor Earth was quick to react; she shot her Earth Mud Slap attack out. Aluminum Siren tried to dodge, but she ended up just crashing down the mountainside to oblivion. Luckily for the two Senshi who were being teleported back home, she left the Eternal Tier behind. Seiya opened her eyes and licked her lips. She was hungry for something sweet, and it didn’t seem like she’d get any food in the cave she had found herself in. Suddenly she spotted a pile of cotton candy lying in front of her. Seiya happily chomped down on it, when it screamed! Seiya bolted upright, confused not only by the scream but by the fact that it tasted like hair! “OWWWW!!! Who bit my hair?!” screamed the cotton candy hair. Seiya dropped to her knees and put her glasses on. “Hey! That cotton candy is Chibi-chan!” she exclaimed. “Yes, of course, Seiya-oneesan. That was my hair you were eating!” snapped Chibi-Usa. “Why did you call me that? I’m not your sister,” said Seiya, confused. Chibi-Usa shook her head in slight exasperation. “Adding -oneesan or -oneechan after the name of a girl who is older than you is common in Japan. It’s a more respectful way to be familiar; it’s as if you see them as a big sister,” explained Chibi-Usa. “So where are we?” asked Seiya, changing the topic. “I don’t know. Maybe we should transform,” said Chibi-Usa. “Okay. Fighter Star Power, Make Up!” “Moon Crisis Power, Make Up!” Chibi Moon stared at her hands. “Where’s my bell? The one I use for attacking?” she gasped. “Did you drop it somewhere, Chibi-chan?” asked Star Fighter, trying to be helpful. “No, it usually appears when I transform,” said Chibi Moon, worried. “So, you want you bell? Come find it, if you dare,” said a voice. “Hey! Who said that?” asked Star Fighter. “I don’t know...AAAAAHH!!!” screamed Chibi Moon as an energy beam flashed past her. “Who attacked us? Show yourself!” called Star Fighter. “You have to find me,” said the voice mysteriously. “Let’s just follow the sound,” said Chibi Moon. “Yeah, voice! We’re coming! And don’t shoot any more beams at Chibi-chan here; she’s my friend and I don’t want her hurt!” shouted Star Fighter. “Both of us probably will get hurt. If it’s Senshi business, it’s dangerous,” said Chibi Moon. “I was hoping it was just someone pretending to be spooky,” said Star Fighter, pouting. After walking a little ways through the cave, they saw a light. Glowing in the light was Jedite! “Hey! Who are you?” asked the two Senshi, who had never met him before. “I am Jedite, one of Queen Beryl’s Generals! I will not let a four-eyed dummy and a little kid stop me! Look what I’ve got,” he bragged, holding up a sleeping white cat. “What?! Artemis?! I’ll show you! Star Serious Laser!” “Pink Moonbeam Blaster!” The two Senshi shot their attacks at Jedite, disintegrating him before he even had a chance to attack.
