Sailor Moon: AngelAngelShine

Episode 00 Prologue : Silence Warning! Hotaru's Dream!

Hotaru ran, as fast as her weak feet would let her, the enemy wasn't far behind her, and she would much prefer that he killed her, instead of capturing her, as bait for the other Senshi. The footsteps behind her got louder, closer, faster, Hotaru couldn't pick up her pace, she would simply faint sooner if she did so.

She pulled her Henshin wand quickly from her pocket and turned a corner to the left-an alleyway. A dark, dreary alleyway, rubbish, cats and cans creating an inch-high assualt course for Hotaru to make her way through. Her rapid feet created small gusts of wind about the floor, scattering the rubbish about as she ran. Hotaru passed through a brief light-less area and saw her chance.

"Saturn Planet Power-Make-Up!" A purple flash emmitted from her wand, she held it up and the wand instantly became a void as it was over her head. The void threw out purple ribbons that encircled Hotaru, the ribbons, peice by peice became her Fuku, Bodypeice, skirt, gloves, boots, tiara, chocker and earrings. The Void sent out a single black ribbon, that alone fused into the Silence Glaive.

Now as Sailor Saturn she felt a little more rejuvinated of strength, but it didn't stop the Youma from ever getting closer. The Silence Glaive wasn't healping, the weight slowed her, and before she knew it, she was running in the darkness of her own exhaustion, and the Youma was right behing her. In a matter of seconds the Youma had jumped at Saturn, it took firm grasp of her Glaive-holding right hand, and then of her left, forcing both her arms, crossed-over on her chest, he locked her arms there and used his now free left-hand to clasp the heart broach in the center of her chest, it shattered. Saturn yelped and fell forward, the Youma still attached to her, the purple ribbons that were once her fuku were flowing out. As they hit the floor, Saturn's grip on her Glaive loosened, and it tumbled and rolled towards the wall, five feet away. Saturn cringed, flexing her fingers in want to have the deadly weapon back in her hand.

"Shimata!" She gasped through heavy breathing, the Youma simply laughing menacinly. He leaned off her slightly, letting the purple ribbons of her fuku flail out. He raised his clawed hand, ready to strike. Saturn felt the Tiara, chocker and earrings of her fuku fade, and she cried, tears screaming down her face.

"Everyone...Princess... Please, forgive me!" She wimpered, one single tear landing on the ground before her, as it landed, it sparkled. The Youma paused in mid-strike, confused and puzzled, Hotaru opened her eyes and looked at the glittering tear drop.

"Hotaru-chan..." Hotaru blinked and parted her lips slightly in shock.

"U-Usagi-san?!" The tear sparkled and shined, Images of the other Senshi flowed into view, in-turn, each of the Senshi spoke.

"Be Strong Hotaru!" Makoto encouraged

"You can find that Light!" Minako exclaimed

"Let your Soul run free." Rei whispered

"Use your power to your advantage." Ami advised

"Be brave little Hota." Haruka spoke

"You are not alone Hotaru!" Michiru proclaimed

"Hotaru-chan, you still have time, find it." Setsuna murmured

"I'm with you Hotaru-Chan!" Chibi-Usa declared

"Believe!" The tears trickled down her cheeks, yet she smiled.

"Makoto, Minako, Rei, Ami, Haruka-Papa, Michiru-mama, Setsuna-sama, Chibi-Usa-Chan...Usagi-San...I do Believe!" The tears faded, and the Youma raised his hand and struck down towards Hotaru, but suddenly a voice rang out.

'Earth Revolving Shard!" A long diamon green-coloured shard, sailed through the air, it shattered through the Youma, Hotaru's fuku fased in, giving her the steength to reach for her Glaive.

"Sailor Saturn..." Saturn gasped silently and looked up, getting to her knees, she lifted her Glaive upright and stood it on the ground holding onto it for support, looking at the figure in front of her.

A tall lady, with a Sailor uniform similar to her own, coloured in green and blue. Short thick brown hair, and four long strips of hair, two either side, one green and one blue on either side, framing a fair face with green eyes. As Saturn looked, the figure held a second long-green-diamon shaped shard. The Sailor Solider smiled, then threw the shard, and watched. The shard sailed towards Saturn, she braced herself, closed her eyes, and then she felt the impact, and then....Somewhere, Somehow, Sailor Saturn managed to scream.
