Chapter 10: The Wind and the Dark! Fire and Water! “Michiru, this is a strange place, but together, we can survive,” Haruka said, looking around her and touching the fluffy-haired teenager beside her. “Um, Tenou-sempai, I’m Naru Osaka,” said the girl. “Oooops, heh heh. I’m sorry, Naru-chan,” said Haruka, blushing. Naru and Haruka stood up, looking around confusedly. “Wha...we’re in the snow! Sailor outfits don’t cover up much. I’d rather be wearing nice, warm snow pants, but this is suspicious. First that blue-haired girl attacked, and now we’re here, and HERE is not the concert. Uranus Crystal Power! Make-Up!” “Eclipse Cosmic Power, Make Up!” The two girls transformed into their Senshi forms, and Sailor Uranus had a shock. “Where’s my Space Sword?!” she gasped. “Did you lose it in the teleportation?” asked Sailor Eclipse. “I’m not sure. It usually appears when I transform,” said Sailor Uranus. “Well then, I’m sure it’s around here somewhere. Do you have pockets?” asked Sailor Eclipse. “You sure are new to being a Senshi! No, we don’t have pockets in our Sailor outfits,” laughed Sailor Uranus. Naru suddenly gasped and pointed to a giant ice pillar. It was glowing green! “Is that where it is? Let’s go!” shouted Sailor Uranus, and the two of them raced over to the pillar. A woman with long green hair was sitting on top of it. She jumped down and landed in front of the two panting Senshi. “So we have some new faces here. Who are you girls? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before, but you look like Sailor Senshi,” she said. “Invited by the new age, I am Sailor Uranus!” “The kind soldier with powers of darkness, I am Sailor Eclipse!” “Huh? Powers of darkness? Glad to meet you, Sailor Eclipse. I am Emerald, of the Black Moon family. You can join us; I think you’d fit in well with us,” said Emerald smoothly, approaching Sailor Eclipse. “I don’t think she’d want to join someone who encases cats in ice, would you?” asked Sailor Uranus. Sure enough, Luna was trapped in the ice pillar. “Oh my! Usagi-chan’s cat! I’ll save her! Eclipse Darkness Surge!” shouted Sailor Eclipse, blasting the ice pillar open. Luna flew out, landing on the ground in front of the two Senshi. “How dare you! Take this, insolent brat!” shouted Emerald, zapping Sailor Eclipse to the snowy ground. “World Shaking!” Sailor Uranus wasted no time in rolling an energy ball through the snow. First Emerald was covered in sprayed snow, then the energy crashed into her, turning her to dust. “I sicken you, Sailor Uranus,” gasped out Emerald in her last breath. In seconds, Luna and the two Senshi were teleported out of the dimension. Yaten looked around, opening her peridot eyes. Suddenly she spotted a tasty pile of teal-colored jello! She started chewing on it, thinking that it tasted suspiciously like... “AAAAH!! Who’s eating my hair?!” screamed the teal-haired girl who was Yaten’s victim. “Michiru?! How come your hair is so sugary sweet?” gasped Yaten. “Because this grass tastes like mint, and it is sugar,” said Michiru, standing up with strands of wet, slimy hair sticking out of her head. The two of them looked around. It looked as if the whole place was made out of candy! “Woah. I’d better be careful. My Deep Submerge could destroy this place and completely melt it,” said Michiru. “Your...oh, your Senshi attack. Well, maybe we can find a way out without being Senshi,” said Yaten. Michiru spotted a chocolate river flowing nearby. “Maybe we could somehow float on the river and it might take us out,” she thought aloud. “Really? What could we float on? One of those giant peppermint candies?” asked Yaten, pointing to a row of peppermint stick trees nearby. “You know, Haruka’s Space Sword would be useful here. But can you use your Senshi attack to cut it so we could ride it, Yaten-san?” asked Michiru. “Okay! Healer Star Power, Make Up!” shouted Yaten, transforming into Star Healer. She then shot her Star Sensitive Inferno attack at the base of the tree. Instead of knocking it down, though, the tree and the surrounding mint grass caught on fire, which was quickly spreading in all directions. “Quick! Let’s jump in the river! Your attack will just make the dimension melt, Michiru!” shouted Star Healer, leaping into the chocolate river. Michiru jumped in after her. Just then, a girl with curly strawberry blond hair rode up on a pretzel log, carrying Sailor Pluto’s Garnet Rod. “Mimette! So we meet again! Neptune Crystal Power, Make Up!” shouted Michiru, transforming as Yaten had done earlier. “Well of course you know my name! And who’s that with you? Your granny?” teased Mimette. “What?! I’m a teenager, you idiot! I am Sailor Star Healer, and I’ll punish you for calling me that!” shouted Star Healer. “HAHAHAHA!! What can two Senshi that are treading chocolate do?” smirked Mimette. “A lot! I’ll get Sailor Pluto’s rod back for her! Star Sensitive Inferno!” Star Healer sent her attack at Mimette. Sailor Neptune dove into the chocolate, and just before the attack hit Mimette, she grabbed the Garnet Rod. With Mimette’s disintegration, the two Senshi were blown out of the dimension, Sailor Neptune carrying the rod with her. The last thing they heard was “I curse you with the disease, Sailor Neptune!”
