********************************************************
It was just another day for little Hotaru Tomoe. She would wake up, go to school, come home and go to sleep. To her, school was a living nightmare. The other children would call her names, and insult her. They were afraid of her. She never tried to let it bother her, she knew her daddy loved her very much. No matter what happened at school, she knew her father would be at home for her.
The alarm by Hotaru's bed went off, she got up, got dressed, went downstairs to say good morning to her father over breakfast, and went to school.
On her way, she saw a group of kids huddled around something. She recognized the kids, they often picked on her. Like all the others, they were afraid of her. Yowls were emanating from the group, it sounded like a cat. Never being one to let others be hurt, Hotaru went to investigate.
"What are you doing?" asked Hotaru
"Nothing" said one boy
"It sounds like you have a cat, are you hurting it?"
"Why do you care"
Hotaru gave the boys an unblinking stare. They shrank away and left under her gaze. They were afraid of her.
"You poor kitty" she said while picking it up. There were Band-Aids on the cat's forehead. Hotaru removed them to find a golden crescent moon on the cat. "What unusual markings, kitty. You must be pretty special."
The cat leapt out of Hotaru's arms onto a nearby car. It seemed to be studying her. The late bell rang out, Hotaru was late. She didn't bother running since she was allready late, and she tired out much too easily.
*******************************************************
Else where, a blonde with twin ponytails was getting a detention, again.
********************************************************
School was over for the day, and Hotaru was very tired. Phys. Ed class was too much for her. She was looking forward to laying down.
Hotaru climbed the stairs to her bedroom. Some would have thought the room was darkly colored, but Hotaru preferred purples and blacks to the normal pinks and blues. She collapsed on her bed and stared up at ceiling. If only she weren't so weak. If only people weren't so afraid of her gift. Healing people was supposed to be something good, right?
She heard a noise, Hotaru sprang up. If one thing she had ever learned was that when you are an outcast, always be on guard. She sat up to find herself looking into the amber eyes of the cat she saved earlier that day.
"Hello kitty, I see you've followed me home"
the cat continued staring, then, it spoke.
"Hotaru, I was not sure at first, but now I am certain. You are the Sailor Senshi of Saturn. I am Luna"
"So you can talk?" said Hotaru
Luna was taken aback. She expected the girl to stark ranting. The fact that she didn't proved even more that she was Sailor Saturn..
"Yes, I can. I am your guardian, I will assist you on your path to your destiny of being Sailor Saturn." Luna than did some sort of back flip, and a wand fell out of the air, and on to Hotaru's bed. Hotaru picked it up, and appeared to study it.
"Hotaru, You need to say Saturn-"
"SATURN...POWER...MAKE-UP" shouted Hotaru. Luna was surprised at how the girl knew her transformation phrase at instinct.
Hotaru was bathed in light, she could feel ribbons of purple energy encircle her body. It was wonderful ,she felt her self grow stronger. The weak Hotaru was gone, now stood Sailor Saturn.
Left behind was Hotaru, and now stood Sailor Saturn. She was wearing a short purple skirt, a white bodice trimmed with a black bow and a sailor styled purple collar. In the center of the bow was a white starlike jewel. She also had a purple choker with the same crystal. Her golden tiara had a purple jewel in the center. Her purple lace-up boots came to he knees. Her white gloves came to her elbows and were trimmed in purple. And in her hands was the ultimate weapon of destruction, the Silence Glaive.
Luna recognized the Glaive, she didn't know why. She hardly remembered any thing from the past on the moon kingdom, yet something told her the Glaive was very powerful, and in the wrong hands could dispel great trouble to the universe. It was safe only in the hands of Saturn.
"Sailor Saturn?" said Luna
"Luna, this is me. I don't know how, yet it seems like I always knew I was Sailor Saturn. Thank you" said Hotaru. She was amazed, she was destined for something great in life.
"Sailor Saturn, it is your destiny to fight an evil called the Dark Kingdom" said Luna
"Yes I know"
"You do?" asked Luna
"Yes..." Saturn stopped "They are attacking, we need to stop them"
Luna didn't know what to make of this. She knew somehow that Saturn was one of the most powerful Senshi.How could she train this girl who knew what was going on before her From what it seemed, Saturn would be teaching her.
Saturn and Luna left the house through the window.
*********************************************************
Things were not faring well a jewelry store called the OSA.P. Naru Osaka was currently being strangled by a youma posing as her mother.
"Help me" cried Naru, though it may seem her efforts were in vain.
"Little Naru, you energy, as along with the rest of these customers, now belongs to the Dark Kingdom. Your race is weak, and will soon perish" said the youma
"Stop that" said a voice
"Whose there" called the Youma
"I am Sailor Saturn, the Dark Senshi. I will not permit you to harm this girl, or any one else. In the name of Saturn, I will punish you"
"Sailor Saturn, what a..."
"Silence Glaive...Slash*" said Sailor Saturn. the Youma never finished it's sentence. Saturn had destroyed it.
***********************************************************
In a place know as the Dark Kingdom, a man was furious.
"What has happened, the energy has disappeared."
Jadeite, the first King of the Dark Kingdom, swore his revenge on whoever had caused it.
************************************************************
"The Dark Senshi?" questioned Luna
"It seemed right, Luna. I don't know why, but it did"
Well, what did you think. Please let me know, and send all ideas my way.
*Most every attack Sailor Saturn has will either destroy the Universe, kill her, or is used for defensive purposes. I created this attack due to the fact that Saturn is way too powerful for her own good^_^, and she needed a weak (compared to the others) but effective attack. The Silence Glaive Slash is much like Pluto's Dead scream, though the energy is more concentrated. A blast of purple energy comes fom the glaive, and slashes through the enemy. Please see my Read Me for more information on Sailor Saturn's attacks.
