Part 8: Sisterly Love

At Rei's temple, all the girls and Silver were around Ami. The girl was typing on her little computer and everyone was looking at her work. Only Cyprine was sitting near the opened door and looking outside with a sad look in her eyes.
"Ami, have you found her?" asked Usagi.
"I don't know. I could locate some black power, but it's undefined. It could be Eudial's power, but it could be even Pikuroll's. And it seems it's moving..."
Cyprine sighed and stood up.
Minako looked at her: "What's up, Cyprine?"
The witch run outside holding back tears.
Viluy stood up too, to go after her, but Rei stopped her: "Viluy, let her go. She is sad because of Pikuroll, I guess. She needs to stay alone for a while"
"Yes, she's shocked." said Tellu "This is the first time that she and Pikuroll aren't together. They were like a single witch... That's why we were called Witches 5..."
"Hey! The black power is strongest now!" said Ami "In a few time I'll be able to locate Eudial. But it's strange... It's like she's not alone"
"Maybe she's with Pikuroll." said Mimet "Where are they now?"
"Wait a moment... they are... HERE?!"
In that moment Eudial and Rodoc teleported into the room.
Usagi hugged the witch and began to weep: "Eudial! You are well! I was so worried... I thought you were dead..." then she stared noticing Rodocrosite "Eudial, who is he?"
"I know him!" shouted Mimet "He's one of Eudial's brothers and he's one of the three Doom's Warriors! He's wicked and dangerous! Let's attack him!"
"Wait Mimet!" cried Eudial shielding Rodocrosite with her body "He's no more one of the Doom's Warriors! He betrayed Death Busters and turned good!"
"Who are Doom's Warriors?" asked Makoto.
"Let me explain that to the girls, Eudial" said Viluy
. Eudial nodded and Viluy continued: "Eudial is the daughter of the High Commander on our planet. She is the youngest of his four sons. Her brothers were known as Doom's Warriors and they were terrifying: after their father, they were the three strongest warriors of Tau Ceti. Rodocrosite is the youngest of Doom's Warriors."
"But why did they send Witches 5 on Earth instead of them?" asked Rei.
"I think they undervalued Earth's defenders and they wanted to test our strength. They said that the strongest of Witches 5 would be the next Doom's Warrior. Right, Eudial?"
"Yes, only a thing. I'm not the youngest of High Commander's sons. He has other six daughters and the youngest is Emmy."
"Who's Emmy? And who are his other five daughters?" asked Tellu.
"Emmy is my true sister and my other five half sisters are you, Mimet, Viluy, Cyprine and Pikuroll."
"WHAT?!" asked all at once.
Eudial and Rodoc sat down and began to explain all again to the shocked girls.

Meanwhile Pikuroll was sitting on a stone in the ruins of the Mugen building. She felt lonely and couldn't understand Cyprine's behavior. They were like one witch, how could she abandon her in such way?
Pikuroll sighed.
Maybe her sister was right about Sailor Senshi, but Pikuroll was too proud to admit her error. Suddenly, she noticed a movement behind her. The witch jumped and kicked towards the rock behind which the movement disappeared.
Pikuroll landed on a blue haired little girl.
"Who are you? Why are you spying at me?!" yelled at the child.
The little girl began to cry "I weren't spying at you, I was searching for my mum..." then, noticing the black star on Pikuroll neck, she screamed "NO! You're one of that evil witches! Go away!"
A little black star lightened on the little girl's forehead and a bolt of power hit Pikuroll, throwing her several meters away.
Pikuroll looked at the girl: "It's impossible" she thought "she's strongest than me..."
The girl came near to her: "Now confess, if you don't want to die! Where are Sarcolite and Dioptasio?"
"What? Who are you? How can you know Eudial's brothers?"
"You know who I am! Aren't you one of Doom's Warriors' demons?"
"I'm not a demon! I'm one of Witches 5 and I don't know who are you!"
"Witches 5? You should be dead, then. What are you doing here in Tau Ceti? You failed your mission, they'll kill you if they find you here!"
"Tau Ceti? What are you saying? We are on Earth!"
"What...EARTH?! How could I arrive here? I want my mum! Whaaa!"
The little girl began to weep.
Pikuroll looked at her: the little girl was wearing a black and blue witch's uniform and she seemed very cute.
Pikuroll felt sad for her and put a hand on her head: "My name is Pikuroll. I don't want to hurt you. If you say me who are you and why are here, I'll try to help you."
"I can't believe you. I've never seen a kind person from Tau Ceti. They're all evil people except Rodoc and my mother!"
"I was wicked too." said Pikuroll "And maybe I'm still an evil person, but my twin sister turned good. I'm starting to think she's right, but I don't know what to do to join her again..."
A tear went down Pikuroll cheek "It's strange...I never liked people, but now I feel so lonely..."
The little girl went near the witch: "Pikuroll, don't cry. I'm sorry if I hit you, now I can feel that you aren't wicked anymore. You're not alone, I'm with you. My name is Emmy."
Pikuroll smiled between tears "Thank you Emmy, you're kind. By the way, are you a witch too?"
Emmy nodded: "Yes, my true name is Ematite, but my mother called me Emmy. She was human and told me about the importance of good feelings. When my father took me away from her, I decided I'd never fight against innocent people. Rodoc, my brother, understood my feelings and said that I had to pretend to be wicked and he'd make a plan to set me and my mother free. But yesterday I felt a great power and I teleported away. I'd never think to arrive on Earth..."
"And so Sarcolite and Dioptasio are searching you because you betrayed Death Buster?"
"Yes, and if they find you, they'll kill you too. We must hide from them... but I have to find my mum too..."
Emmy hugged Pikuroll and both sighed.
Suddenly a shadow covered the light of the Moon. Emmy raised her head and, when she saw the man who was standing in front of them, she screamed: "SARCOLITE!"

Cyprine ran trough the city, she wanted to see Pikuroll again and to try to turn her good.
She knew that the only place where Pikuroll could be were the ruins of Mugen School.
When she arrived, she saw her sister and she was going to call her, but she noticed that Pikuroll wasn't alone. She was fighting against a tall man with long orange hair tied in a tail. Cyprine stared when she saw that he was one of Doom's Warriors and he was about to hit Pikuroll.

Pikuroll understood that Sarcolite would easily kill her and Emmy even if they were fighting with all their strength. Sarcolite rose his hand to use his powers on her and Pikuroll closed her eyes. She felt the great power of the man and heard a scream.
Pikuroll opened her eyes and stared: Cyprine protected her with her body and she has been wounded instead of her.
"CYPRINE!" Pikuroll held her sister up. "Why you did it?"
Cyprine answered weakly: "Pikuroll...go away...Sarcolite used most of his energies to hit me, if you run away, he can't stop you...I want you to survive...I love you, sister..."
Cyprine closed her eyes and collapsed in Pikuroll arms.
Pikuroll was deranged by sorrow: "CYPRINE! Please, Cyprine, you can't die, we must go away together..."
Emmy grabbed Pikuroll's hand: "Pikuroll, let's go away!"
"Cyprine...I can't leave without her, I won't abandon her..."
Emmy panicked: "Pikuroll, you must come with me! If you don't, Cyprine's sacrifice will be useless. We'll revenge her death, I promise it to you, but we have to survive to do it!"
Pikuroll looked at Emmy and at the body of her sister. If she was alone she would wait for death near Cyprine, but she couldn't let Sarcolite to kill Emmy.
She grabbed Emmy's hand and ran away.
Sarcolite saw the flight of the two witches and was going to chase them, when a bolt of energy hit him. Sarcolite turned. Cyprine raised herself and was smiling: "I...I won't let you take my sister..." Sarcolite grabbed Cyprine with rage and hit her several times. He could hear the noise of cracking bones. Finally he threw Cyprine to the ground and looked around. He cursed. Emmy and Pikuroll had disappeared.
Sarcolite teleported away.
