Foreordained Destiny 8

Chapter Five The Soldier of Love Returns; Venus



It was close to midnight as Hokuto, Kamui, Sorata, and Arashi were finally walking home. “THAT WAS SO EXHAUSTING! I hope there’s no enemies for a while.”

“Some leader you are short stuff.”

“HEY, I never asked for this.”

“Well maybe you should learn!”

“Hokuto-chan you shouldn’t yell so late at night, you’ll disturb people.”

“EEE is that you Subaru? ARE YOU BACK? WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR?!”

“Hmm? Oh I cut it.”

“Never mind, what are you doing out so late?”

“My flight got in late; I was walking home and I heard you so I came over to see what you were doing out so late.”

“Fair enough. This is our half-brother Kamui by the way, and our friends Sorata and Arashi.”

“I’ve seen Sorata-san in school and I’ve been to Arashi-san’s temple. As for Kamui I’ve heard all about him from Grandmother.”

“You can keep in touch with Oba-san but not me?!”

“Part of my training, sorry Hokuto-chan. Now don’t dally! Say goodbye to your friends and meet me back home!” With that being said, the younger of the two twins took off into the night.

“Subaru, do you think it’s wise to leave them?”

“For now yes and I’m not going far, there’s an enemy nearby, might as well test their skills.”

~#~

“Well Hokuto-san, your twin is…nice…”

“HE’S CHANGED! WHAT DID THEY DO TO HIM IN ENGLAND?!”

“Sailor Senshi where are you! You awful brats!”

“Here we go again….I wanted to go home.”

“Shush Kamui! Sorata, Arashi, ready?”

“Ready.”

“I can’t let you ladies fight alone.”

“Mercury Star Power!”

“Mars Star Power!”

“Jupiter Star Power!”

“Do I have to?”

“The answer to that is and always will be yes!”

“Moon Cosmic Power.”

“You asked for us and you got your wish! Soldier of wisdom and ice; Sailor Mercury! Douse yourself in water and repent!”

“I will not allow you to disturb this city at night! Solider of passion and flame; Sailor Mars! In the name of Mars I chastise you!”

“How dare you keep sweet ladies up so late! Soldier of courage and lightning; Sailor Jupiter! Be prepared to be pummeled!”

“I hope you know you’re keeping a student from getting their sleep! Solider of mystery; Sailor Moon! In the name of the moon, I will punish you!”

“There you are, brats! Now you’ll tell us what we need to know!”

“As if! Shabon Spray!”

“Fire soul!”

“Flower hurricane!”

“Now Sailor Moon finish them while the fog is hiding them!”

“Moon Twilight Fl—”

“No such luck sailor saps; now where is the Legendary Crystal?”

“WE’VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT!”

“Don’t lie; tell us or we’ll kill you!”

“Why would these nice people tell someone so vile that? Especially when the vile thing is threatening to kill them?”

“Su—young man, please leave; this is a job for the sailor senshi.” Hokuto was baffled; what was her twin doing out here?

“I know Nee-chan. Soel, go help Larg and the rest, leave these youma to me.”

Even in the dense fog Hokuto saw the orange symbol glow on the ground under her twin’s feet. “Powers of the planet of love release!” The orange rod fell into the well-practiced hand. “Venus Star Power!”

"Solider of love; Sailor Venus! Love is an energy that never dies; prepare yourself!"

“Crescent beam!”

How was her clumsy twin a part of this? How had she not known? Why hadn’t he told her? Where was he when he went to England? Sailor Senshi boot camp?

“Now Sailor Moon, finish them!”

“How am I supposed to do that?!”

“That moonstick has special powers, the words will come, just trust me and do it!”

The moon stick spun in Kamui’s hand. “Moon Healing Escalation!”

As the twin youma disintegrated, Hokuto turned to her twin. “Subaru I don’t understand.”

“You’ve heard of Sailor V, right Nee-chan? That was me; I was looking for leads in England; I have a year’s experience under my belt. We must train it won’t be long now…”

“Won’t be long?”

“The Inner Senshi have all gathered, the revelation of who the Moon Prince is will be revealed…”

“Why didn’t you tell me any of this? What about Sei-chan, does he know?”

“I didn’t tell you because you were in danger because of me. Just my luck you’re a senshi too.  No, Seishirou-san doesn’t know…I also wanted to leave him out of this.”

As the five senshi started to walk to their own respective homes, Soel and Larg turned to each other. “Time is running out. The enemy knows of the Legendary Rainbow Crystal, but not that it was split into two. I hate to do this, but we must bring the outer senshi over here. Their search of Sailor Earth must wait.”

“That’s already been taken care of. Two are already here and await their comrades at school tomorrow.”
