Part 11: Sunbeams

The first thing Eudial saw when she woke up was the face of Silver. The boy had fallen asleep on a chair near Eudial's bed and was still holding her hand.
On the other side of the bed there was Usagi who was kneeled on the floor and was sleeping with her head on Eudial's bed.
Eudial was still feeling weak, but she was better. The witch closed gently her hand on Silver's. Silver awoke and looked at Eudial: the witch was well and was smiling at him!
"Eudial!" he cried hugging the witch "I was so worried..."
Usagi woke up too. She was relieved to see her friend alive.
"What's happened?" asked Eudial "My powers failed...Sailor Moon, did you saved us? And how are Emmy and Pikuroll?"
"I think your powers where damaged by the Eclipses' Goddess. You could die, when she used your body, but luckily you didn't..." answered Silver.
"I couldn't do anything against your brothers, nor the other Senshi could...Eu-chan saved us; she's great powers..." said Usagi "However your sisters are well. Emmy is with Rodoc now, but I'm worried about Pikuroll: she feel guilty for what happened to Cyprine."
"So Eu-chan powers appeared... It could be dangerous, she's so young..."
"Don't worry, Eudial, Eu-chan won't have problems in learning how to use her new powers. After all you where even younger than Eu-chan when your powers showed up for the first time." Silver smiled at Eudial "I'm sure she'll be a beautiful and powerful witch, just like her mother..."
Eudial smiled too "Even her father is not so bad..."
Usagi went out of the room taking Luna with her. "I guess they want to stay alone" she said with a smile "Luna, let's go and see how is Cyprine!"

Meanwhile, a person slipped away from Sarcolite and Dioptasio spaceship and disappeared in Tokyo streets...

Mimet grabbed Pikuroll arm and she said kindly: "Come on, Pikuroll, let's go home. You can't stay always here. You have to eat something and rest for a while or you will fall ill!"
Pikuroll looked at Mimet and shook her head: "I can't. Cyprine is suffering and I have to stay with her. Go home if you want, girls, you're not obliged to stay here..."
Mimet burst up in tears: "I'm so worried...Cyprine and Eudial are wounded and we can't do anything for them...our brothers want to kill us and we aren't strong enough to fight them...what are we going to do if you fall ill too?!"
Pikuroll wiped off Mimet tears with her hand and smiled weakly: "Don't cry, Mimet, I won't fall ill...I'll eat something, if you are so worried, but I'll stay here."
The other girls tried to cheer Pikuroll up and sent Mimet and Tellu to buy some food for them all.
Meanwhile Usagi arrived and said to the girls that Eudial was feeling better: "...only her powers are gone. But Silver said that she'll recover herself very soon. We'll have to protect her until her powers won't come back!"
All the girl nodded. Pikuroll stood up and went in Cyprine's room. The witch began sobbing: "I'm happy that Eudial is better" she thought, "but why, why isn't Cyprine recovering too? She's no faults, she sacrificed herself to save my life, I should lay in this bed. Why can't I change my life with hers?"
"Cyprine!" she called loud, grabbing her sister hand, "Cyprine, please wake up! I know you can hear me! I beg you, come back, don't leave me alone!"
Pikuroll drop herself to the ground and kept sobbing holding her sister's hand.
Suddenly, Cyprine's fingers moved weakly. Pikuroll looked at her sister and tears of joy went down her face: Cyprine had opened her eyes and was looking at her!
Cyprine smiled at her sister: "Pikuroll...I'd never leave you alone..." she said in a whisper, then she passed out again.
Pikuroll rushed out of the room to call the doctor.

Silver arrived to the hospital too.
All the girls turned towards him.
"Silver! What are you doing here?" asked Usagi "Weren't you with Eudial? Why did you let her alone?"
"She said she wanted to rest for a while and she asked me to come here and see how is Cyprine's condition."
"She woke up few minutes ago." said Rei "Now the doctor is visiting her."
The door of Cyprine's room opened and the doctor went out. All the girls surrounded him anxiously. The man smiled: "The miracle has happened, she will survive. She will have to stay here for a long time, but she will recover perfectly."
The girls screamed out in joy, but the cold look of a nurse made them to remember they were in a hospital and they shut up blushing.
Rei put a arm on Pikuroll shoulder: "I'm so happy for you! Now come to the temple, you have to rest, so when Cyprine will wake up again you can stay with her."
Pikuroll nodded and followed Rei.
The other girls and the other witches went to their houses too: Usagi, Eu-chan and Chibiusa came back to Usagi's home; Emmy, Rodoc and Silver went away with Mamoru; Mimet with Minako and Tellu with Makoto.
Only Viluy remained alone. "Where I'm going to stay?" she sadly asked to herself.
"Come on, Viluy, let's go home!" said a voice behind her.
The witch turned in surprise: Ami was standing near her and she was smiling.
"You can stay at my house if you want. I'm sure we'll be friends!"
Viluy smiled back at her: "Thank you Ami"
They went home.

Emmy, Rodoc, Mamoru and Silver entered in Mamoru flat.
They didn't notice that a strange woman was following them.
The girl smiled: "Finally I found you, Silver!" said to herself.
She had very long black hair tied in two weird pigtails and she was wearing a long black and red dress with two slits on the sides of the skirt. A black star glittered on her neck.

The morning after, Eudial was dressing to go out with Silver.
Usagi looked worried: "Eudial, are you sure you can go out? Yesterday you had a very high fever..."
"Don't worry, Usagi. I only lost my powers, but I'm well now. Fever was caused by the loss of the powers, but now I'm as a normal human being. I'm not suffering anymore." the witch smiled "And Silver will be with me, he'll protect me if Sarcolite and Dioptasio show up. Now I've to go, I'm late!"

Silver looked at his watch: "Eudial's late..."
Suddenly the black haired girl jumped in front of him: "Hi Silver!"
Silver startled: "Diodite! What are you doing here?"
"Silver...when I heard that you left Tau Ceti to revenge Eudial, I decided I had to follow you. I won't let you spoil your life. Eudial is dead, but you must keep on living! I'll help you with all my love!"
Silver stared at her. Diodite had always been Eudial's rival and they had fought for everything since they were little girls. Diodite wanted to be part of Death Busters, but Eudial took her place and was sent on Earth with Witches 5. They could be sent in mission together, of course, but each refused to work with the other and Eudial won.
They didn't fight for a thing only, for Silver's love. Diodite had always loved him, but Eudial didn't seem interested to him. In turn, Silver always loved only Eudial.
Now Diodite was sure that without Eudial, she could conquer Silver's heart.
Obviously she couldn't know that Eudial was still alive!
Diodite looked at Silver with glittering eyes: "I hid on Sarcolite and Dioptasio's spaceship to search you, Silver..."
"If you're here for me, you can back to Tau Ceti. I'm sorry for you, but I love another girl."
"But...but I can't! I betrayed my people to come here, if they see me, they'll kill me! You can't love a dead person! I'm here, I'm alive and you could be happy with me... Please, forgot Eudial, she's dead!"
"WHO is dead?" asked a voice behind her.
Diodite turned and grew pale: Eudial was standing in front of her!
"It...it's impossible! You were dead...they said you were dead!"
"I'm alive and I'm well as you can see, and now GET YOUR HANDS OFF FROM MY BOYFRIEND!!!"
"WHAT?! YOUR BOYFRIEND?!" yelled Diodite "You never cared about Silver and now you're saying he's your boyfriend!?"
"I'm sorry for you, my dear Diodite, but now Silver is MY true love... I hope you'll like your life on Earth..."
"I won't give up! I'll have Silver heart!"
"I guess you didn't understand...Silver loves ME and I love him. You've no hopes."
"We'll see."
The two witches exchanged cold glances.
Silver sighed with a sweatdrop on his head: "Here they begin fighting again..."
