Galaxia's Revenge, Chapter 2. **************************************************************************** As soon as the limousine pulled up the the new, enormous dance club called "Da Bronx", Tanya's large eyes light up with excitement as she pressed her face close the car window to get a better look. "WOW! This place is great! There are so many people! And look at all those lights! Sugoi, I can tell we are going to have ALOT of fun!" Tanya turned back to Yaten, and gave him a smile that said "Thank you" without words. "Well then, what are we waiting for?" Yaten smiled, his green eyes showing the same excitement as Tanya's. "The night is still very young, and we have a couple of hours yet!" Tanya let out a whoop of joy, and dashed out of the car before even letting the driver open it for her. Yaten had to hurry in order to catch up with the excited girl. They reached the crowded front entrance where everyone was yelling and showing their I.D.'s to get in. The large bouncer gave Tanya a uncertain look when she walked up with Yaten. "Ummm, excuse me miss, but are you sure you're old enough to be here?" he asked suspiciously. Tanya could only stare at him in surprise for a couple of seconds, then she put a determined look on her face and placed her hands on her hips. "Look buster, I AM old enough to be here, and if you got a problem with that, then maybe a talk with your manager and owner of this place would help change you mind!" Now it ws the bouncer's turn to be suprised, and he raised his eyebrows. Yaten shook his head and gave the bouncer an apologetic look. "It's O.K. Caesar. Tanya's with me, and she's very much her age, I assure you." "Indeed! Sorry about the hold up Mr. Kou! You and your friend can go right in." said Caesar with a smile. He gave an impressed look at the two teen-agers and stepped aside, much to the amazement of the eager crowd waiting to get in. As they made their way inside, Tanya and Yaten were greeted with a blast of loud music and flashing lights that was mingled with shouting and laughing. There were many couples already dancing on the dance floor, while others were standing on the side near the wall, talking to friends and resting. As soon as the two new arrivals reached the floor, the catchy R&B song played it last tune, then a slow song began to play. Tanya looked around in amazement at the amount of people that were here, and the different nationalities they were obviously from. "This is so great!" Tanya thught to herself. Yaten then softly took Tanya's hand in his own, and lead her toward the dance floor. He placed his hands carefully around her waist, and lead her in a slow circle. Tanya sighed with contentment, then softly laid her head on Yaten's shoulder. When he accidently stepped on her small foot, causing Tanya to wince, he looked up gave her an embarrassed look. "Sorry, but I am not much of a slow dancer." he apologized with a slight blush. "That's alright! How about I lead for a while?" said Tanya smiling. She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck, and lead Yaten in a dance step that was more in time with the music. After a moment, Tanya look at him seriously. "I...ummm...I'm sorry about that scene back there a little while ago. It's just that, most of the time, people have assumed that I was much younger than I am, and after a while, it gets a little frustrating sometimes" she tried to explain. Yaten nodded in understanding."I can tell! But it is good that you can stand up for yourself. I usually have to be the loudest and the meanest in the Three Lights because I am the shortest!" For a moment, his face turned thoughtful. "It also means that sometimes, people don't take you as seriously as you want them too. To them, living this life and being this way is so easy." said Yaten sadly. He shook his head to clear the sad thought, and then gave Tanya a teasing look. "I guess that means us shorties have to stick together, right?" He then winked. "OHHH! You!" Tanya laughed, then playfully punched him on the shoulder. Yaten made a face as if he was in pain, all the while trying to stiffle a laugh. The music finally picked up the pace a little, and Yaten suddenly had a mischievous look on his face. He wrapped his arms tighter around Tanya's small waist, then lifted her off the ground and spun her around a few times. Tanya gave a surprised gasp, and blushed very harshly when the other dancers looked at them. "Yaten-kun!! Put me down! Everybody's looking!" Tanya whispered, her small hands on his shoulders as she looked down at him Yaten reluctantly lowered her down on the floor, that mischievious smile still on his lips. "Well, let them look!" he said teasingly. Tanya couldn't help herself, and began to laugh softly to herself, a smile spreading across her features. When she looked up at Yaten again, her smile faded slightly as she noticed the young singer was giving her a intense look deep in her eyes. Suddenly, all the music, people, and lights seem to disappear, and it was just the two of them. Tanya could only stare deeper into those beautiful green eyes, feeling as if she could drown in them any moment. "Those eyes, they seem so..familiar." she tought to herself. Almost as if it had a mind of it's own, Tanya's hand slowly reached up, and touched Yaten's cheek. As soon as she touched, Tanya's eyes widen slightly as she felt a small jolt of a feeling that she couldn't begin to describe. A feeling like somehow, this person knew the power of the stars. "Yaten-kun." she gently whispered. Yaten was feeling something that he never knew existed. Tanya's hazel browns eyes made him feel like he hadn't a care in the world, and he wanted nothing more than to stare into them for the rest of his life. He sighed softly, and placed his hand over Tanya's on his cheek. "Yes, I can feel the power shining so brightly in her." he thought. "But I can't feel this way about her, I CAN'T! She's only supposed to be a bait to get to Galaxia and find our Princess!" he tried to reason with himself. Then, no longer about to resist, he leaned his face closer to Tanya. Their lips were just about to meet in a gently kiss, when suddenly there was a piercing scream the verberated throught the grand dance floor. The flashing lights in the whole club suddenly went out, putting everyone in complete darkness. There were a few gasps and more screams as other people began to panick and call out their partner's names. Tanya grabbed the nearest arm she could feel in fright, hoping it was Yaten's. There was then a flicker of light, and then, the whole place was suddenly washed in blinding lights. When the light finanlly dimmed slightly, everyone gasped in disbelief at what they saw.Floating in the air near the ceiling, were two women, and a man. The women where dressed the same, and four thick black braids fell past their waist.In their hands, they held long staff with a large, strange symbol on top of it. The man floated smugly besides them, wearing a black tuxedo with a mask, and holding a black rose. Sparkling in the light on thier exposed wrist was the goldlen bracelet that Tanya recognized all too well. "Nobody moves, and we won't have to hurt anyone!" yelled out the taller of the two women. "I am Sailor Mnemosyne," she said. The next women floated next to her, "I am Sailor Lethe." The tall man in the black eye mask slowly made a mocking bow. "I am Tuxedo Kamen, at your service!" he said. "And we have come for your Star Seeds and to bring you to the ways the galaxy was meant to be! Submit yourself to the all powerful Galaxia!" They said together, then smiled triumphantly. "OH NO!" thought Tanya angrily, "Not THAT witch again! She always ruins everything for me. I am NOT going to let her ruin this!!" Tanya narrowed her eyes as she balled her fists. "Hold it right there!" yelled out Caesar, running up past the people with two security guards following him. "Just how did you get in here? This is a secure place, and nobody gets in here without coming through ME first! I advise that you take your weird act, and go!" he said in an authoritive voice. "Humph! Weird act huh?" snorted Sailor Lethe. "How's this for weird!" she her one free arm and bent it at the elbow, and suddenly, a golden blast erupted from her bracelete and traveled towards the large Italian man. He screamed in pain as the powerful energy slammed into him, and motionless on the floor. As soon as Caesar fell to the floor, his Star Seed popped out from his chest, and glowed brightly for a few moments. Sailor Mnemosyne floated down, and reached over to take out his Star Seed. The people, who could nothing but stare at the fast action, gasped in horror. The intruders smiled triumphantly for a moment, but the Star Seed soon turned black. Sailor Mnemosyne grunted, then dropped the Star Seed in disgust. As soon as the Star Seed was discarded, Ceasar's body began to contort and twist as he screamed in pain. Screams penetrated the whole place as the grotesque transformation took place. Yaten snapped out of his shock, and quickly grabbing her hand, pulled Tanya in the back to a private room."Shimatta! They're not supposed to attack here, now!" he said angrily to himself. Tanya looked up at him in surpise. "W...what do you mean by that?" she asked in confusion as she tried ot keep up with him as they ran past panicking people. Yaten softly cursed himself, and gave Tanya an apologetic look. "Nothing! Please, stay here where you'll be safe! I have to go and get help!" Tanya was about to protest, but Yaten pulled back, and closed the door, locking her in. "NO! Yaten!! Don't you dare! Let me out NOW!!!!" screamed Tanya, pounding hard on the door. "Gomen!" said Yaten through the door, even though he knew she wouldn't hear him. He narrowed his eyes, and ran back up front to confront the henchmen of Galaxia. After he left, Tanya continued kicking and pounding on the hard door, and finally after what seemed like forever, the small lock on the door gave away. She heard fighting going on, and hurried up to front. ****** Sailor Lethe raised her long staff in the air, and released a round of dark energy mist the slowly seeped out of her staff's head and collected above her. The power spread out slowly descended on the helpess people. Everyone then began dropping to the floor in pain, then passed out as their energies were being drained. Soon, the dark mist cleared, and the three evil figures smiled in satisfaction. Suddenly, out of the dark disappating mist, a lone figure walked out determinedly in front of the evil trio, snapping her fingers. "How dare you come into this place of music and dance, and pervert it into your dark twisted ways! There is no room for you here! You can tell Galaxia she will never have it! HEALER STAR POWER, MAKE UP!" shouted out Yaten. Unknown to everyone else, Tanya ran toward the floor just then, and watch in amazement as she partially hid herself behind the doorway. The idol singer went through his transformation to become one of the Sailor Star Lights. Black leather appeared around the now female warrior's body as stars twirled around her, and when she finished, she fixed them a cold stare. "The arrow of light the brings hope in the darkness, SAILOR STAR HEALER, STAGE ON!" "Oh my God!" thought Tanya as she watched in shock. "Yaten, is.... Sailor Star Healer?" Her eyes blinked in confusion as she watched the scene unfold before her. "We'll be the judge of that! Minotaur, destroy this weakling!" yelled out Sailor Lethe, pointing at Star Healer. The once human Ceasor raised it's ugly bull head, giving the Star Light a look that would make anyone else's skin crawl. With a deep throated yell, it charged full force. Bravely, Sailor Star Healer stood her ground, and prepared to attack. "STAR SENSITIVE INFERNO!" she yelled, and let loose her powerful laser. The beam surrounded by energized stars hit the giant demon full force in the chest. For the moment, the demon was stunned, blinking a few times. He recovered quickly, and looked angrily at Star Healer again. He was filled with so much negative energy with the aide of the energy draining mists, that the power only stunned him. Above them, the three figures snickered in satisfaction. Sailor Star Healer gasped in surprised, not expecting this turn of events. "BAKA, this is worse than I thought! Come on Star Fighter, Star Maker! Where are you?" she thought desperately to herself. Star Healer prepared to attack again. Just then, Sailor Minotaur glared at Star Healer evilly. He then raised his hands, and shot out a large amount of dark read negative energy at the lone Star Light. She tried to jump out of the way, but the evil demon's actions was too fast, and it slammed into her full force. Her body contorted with pain as she screamed on last cry, then fell as if dead to the floor, a trickle of blood flowing out her nose. Tanya quickly jumped out from behind the door and ran over to Sailor Star Healer. "NOOOOOO!!! Sailor Star Healer!" she cried out, pain filling her heart. She glared at Sailor Minotaur as he looked down at her in surprise. Tears streamed down her dark cheeks as she balled her fist. "How could you! That was my friend! I'm going to make you PAY for that! SIRIUS EMERALD POWER..MAKE UP!" In a flash of violet light, Tanya body was enveloped in that ame colored aura as light swirled around. A white wreath appeared in her black hair, and when it was done, Super Sailor Sirius stood in her place in her new violet, black and white fuku. She stood in her fighting stance, ready to avenge a fallen hero and fellow fighter for justice. "Who is this little person?" shouted out Sailor Lethe from above, looking to Sailor Mnemosyne and Tuxedo Kamen. The tall man looked at her for a second, and seeing the familiar fuku and and determined look, recognized her as one of the enemies. "It is one of those evil scouts that Galaxia-Sama has told us about! If she is here, the the other will follow! We must destroy them!" he shouted as he pointed her out. "Who the HELL you calling evil, you masked freak!! Why don't you take a look at yourself!" shouted back Super Sailor Sirius angrily. Tuxedo Kamen's narrowed his eyes, then gestured for Sailor Minotaur to destroy her. The demon roared horribly, then jumped out at her. "How about an oldie but goodie? SIRIUS GRAVITY DEVASTATION!" Blue electric like energy raced out from Sailor Sirius's outstrecthed hand as her body glowed a blue aura, and struck the demon heavily in his chest. Almost too quick to see, the once human figure side-jumped that powerful attack, and it blasted the side wall of the large building, leaving behind a large, gapping whole. The demon laughed as Super Sailor Sirius stared in disbelieve and shock. "Very good try, my dear. You actually thought you can beat him like that." laughed out Sailor Lethe. "But there is PLENTY more where that came from!" shouted Sailor Lethe. She opened the vortex again, and ten more demons dropped out to Sailor Sirius's horror.
