Part 4
Ochre’s Final Battle
"Serena!" The child with the egg shaped buns in her candy pink hair screeched down the stairwell.
"What do you want Rini!" Serena screamed back, she was headed out the door, wanting to go find one of the Stellar Sailors even though she was forbade from doing so by Haruka and Rei.
"Let me come with you! I want to meet the Stellar Sailors."
"No Rini, it could be dangerous I don’t want you to come, you could get hurt."
"But you’re going, and your Sailor Moon, Serena, you will be able to protect me. Besides, your not supposed to go anyway, Haruka and Rei don’t want you to go."
Serena rolled her eyes, there was no way to get around it, and Rini had her there. "All right you little brat get your shoes on and come on."
*************************************
Micheal held the Wisdom Staff in his hands, he was certain there was something he was supposed to remember, but he just couldn’t. Who was the woman with the green hair, he just couldn’t remember anything. He recalled however the picture of the Stellar Sailors the Writhing dragon circling around them. How could that happen, they were to strong to be defeated by a simple dragon, and besides they had Eyo on their side, wherever the creature was at this moment was a secret to the Stellar Sailors. He sighed heavily and the Wisdom Staff disappeared from his hands. He wouldn’t allow that to happen to them, not after what happened to Princess Starchild, and he certainly wasn’t going to allow that to happen to Corrine, not now that he had found her again.
"I am telling you I am not crazy, you saw it the Draco Dragon Defense, it’s not every day you see that!" Nicole was once again recounting the tale of the elusive supposed Sailor Draco.
Corrine nodded, "Clear as crystal, I saw it too, so if Nicole is crazy count me in."
Sam scratched her head. "But how, she’s dead, Lyssa told us she would have to be reincarnated to come back wouldn’t that mean she was reborn, she’d be what two years old?"
Christina put her head down on the table. "This makes no sense I have no clue what is going on here...I…"Christina looked up and trailed off. Two people had just walked into the café, a woman with a long blond braid in what appeared to be a deep purple ball gown and a man with deep black hair and yellow eyes.
"Ochre, Violet." Lyssa hissed under her breath.
"What are they doing waltzing around in the broad daylight in the middle of Tokyo?" Christina asked quietly.
Ochre looked around the café, as if he was searching for someone. Violet walked by the table where the Stellar Sailors were sitting.
"Do you think they are looking for us?" Samantha asked.
"Actually, they just might be." Nicole said as she got out of her seat and walked by Violet into the women’s bathroom.
Corrine and Samantha watched intently as Ochre nodded across the café to Violet who followed her into the bathroom. Ochre left out the front door.
"They aren’t looking for us they’re looking for Nicole, they must have figured out her identity somehow!" Corrine jumped up with Samantha.
The others ran out of the café with Corrine in the lead. Ochre was nowhere to be found in the front. Samantha peered around the alleyway.
"They have Nicole, well relatively." Samantha tried to hide a laugh.
Violet was trying to hold a hand over Nicole’s mouth and she got bit and screeched out in pain. Ochre scowled at his younger sister. "Hold her still you nimrod!"
"You hold her! She won’t stop moving!"
Ochre took the pair of sunglasses that were inside the front shirt pocket on Nicole’s School uniform and put them on her face. "Now if you aren’t a dead ringer for Sailor Cirrus." He laughed.
Back around the end of the alley Samantha was formulating a plan. "How about we show them what they get when they mess with one of us."
"Right on, but how do we make them think Nicole isn’t Sailor Cirrus?"
"That’ll be my job." Lyssa laughed as she twirled her finger sparkles of light dancing from her hand.
"Right on!" Christina held up her hand. "Vortex Silent Stellar Power!"
Ochre grabbed Nicole’s arm and shook her. "Where are your little Stellar Sailor Friends?"
"I don’t know what you’re talking about." Nicole laughed at him.
"Hey buddy!" Sailor Cirrus’s voice rang out. Violet searched the alleyway and then looked up into the bright light over head. As she did this she let go of Nicole who scrambled away, giving her a chance to transform.
"Don’t think I won’t find out who you are!" Ochre shouted up to the voice.
"Well we already know who you are Owen." Sailor Celestial appeared behind them with Sailor Vortex beside her.
"But, my cover was foolproof."
"Well considering you thought that girl was Sailor Cirrus it was simple deduction." Sailor Vortex smiled.
"And now, for mistaken identity and persecution of the innocent I am sorry to say we have to dust you." Sailor Cirrus said from the fire escape. Nicole had to admit Lyssa’s ventriloquist act had been right on.
Lyssa and Corrine appeared in the alleyway in front of Violet and Ochre.
Violet laughed hysterically. "Well brother dearest I hope you enjoy your punishment." Violet disappeared from the alley.
"Violet! You back stabbing wretch!" Ochre screamed. He held up the talisman around his neck, light danced from it as he screamed.
"Cirrus Twilight Dawn!"
"Nova Flame Funnel!"
"Celestial heaven’s Might!"
"Vortex Misery Void!"
From somewhere a fifth voice called out. "Draco Dragon Scream!"
As all of the powers hit Ochre he screamed out in pain. He fell to the ground, A yellow orb floated above the Stellar Sailors. Before them an apparition of Ochre appeared, he wore a white robe with a yellow sash. He looked infinitely happy and turned to the Stellar Sailors. "Thank you." He said, and with that he disappeared. His body turned into pure light and the yellow orb disappeared as well.
**********************************
"I HATE THOSE STELLAR SAILORS!" Queen Prism clutched a perfectly smooth yellow orb in her manicured hand. "Violet! You are just as responsible for this over sight as your brother! You are incompetent, you are lucky I allowed you to transport back here!"
Violet nodded, "Yes mother."
"Orchid!" Prism screeched.
"Yes mother." A brown haired girl in lavender colored pants, and a midriff baring top stepped forward. "How may I be of service?"
"Maybe you can help your older sister here to escape the fate of your eldest brother."
"Anything mother." Orchid’s pale purple eyes glittered malevolently.
"I want them all dead, I want the seer stones and I want that staff!" Queen Prism held up the yellow orb. It glittered in the soft light of the castle. "I want them all dead." She laughed as she placed the orb on a pedestal to the right of her throne.
*********************************
Serena walked down the street with Rini close behind. She wasn’t watching where she was going very well and ran right into someone.
"Oh I am so sorry! I always seem to have these klutz attacks." She looked at the girl. She had dark tan skin and short brown hair.
"That’s quite alright, what did you say your name was?"
"I didn’t, but it’s Serena."
"Oh, that’s right, I have a real bad memory Serena. My name is Carol."
Serena noticed the pretty rainbow stone on a chain that Carol was wearing. "That’s a gorgeous necklace."
Carol looked down at her necklace. "Yeah? Thanks. Well Serena maybe I will see you around again sometime."
As Carol walked away Serena couldn’t help but feel as if there was something else about the girl. Rini’s voice invaded her thoughts.
"Serena, isn’t that those girls you are looking for."
Serena looked and saw Nicole, Samantha, and Corrine Standing outside a café just ahead. "Very good Rini, thanks." When Serena walked up to them they stopped talking and looked at the two newcomers.
"Hi there." Corrine smiled her biggest smile.
"Hello," Rini put the sugar on thick.
"You are so adorable." Samantha smiled at Rini.
"Um…" Serena stumbled over what to say.
"SERENA!" A very angry voice called out. Serena whipped around and found her blue eyes looking into a pair of angry violet ones.
"Sorry about this," Rei said to Nicole, Sam and Corrine. "Serena is late for a study date, and I have been looking all over for her." Rei lied as she gave Serena a look that said it all. "We should really be going now." She grabbed Serena’s arm and pulled her along.
As the two girls walked out of sight Nicole shook her head. "Those girls are strange."
Samantha nodded, "Most defiantly."
"Anyway…We should be going, Lyssa and Tina already headed home. We have some serious matters to discuss."
