”At that time I wanted to be the wind,” Erica said. “I just wanted to escape my destiny.”
In the dark reaches of the Deathbusters hideout, Proffessor Chronos ran on a treadmill. ”Exercise is good for stimulating the brain.”
He picked up the phone and called Eudial. “We should try a track star for our next target.”
”Very good Professor,” she said. She used her computer to locate the next target. “I’ve located her.”
Serena and the girls walked around a high school. “Look at the gym. It’s so big!” exclaimed Mina. “I’m thinking about trying out for the volleyball team if I go here.”
”Look! Over there is Elza Gray!” Lita pointed.
”Elza Gray?” asked Serena, oblivious to the importance of this person.
”The track star,” Rei told Serena not to graciously.
The girls sat down next to Elza. “Wow, I never thought I’d meet Elza Gray!” excalimed Mina.
”Hello, girls,” Elza said as they sat down. She reached out and felt Lita and Mina’s hips. Both jumped. “You two are in good condition. You should join the track team.” They beamed happily.
”Serena can be manager,” Rei added.
”Hey! I can run!” When everyone gave her a blank look, she added, “Just not well.”
”It’ll be great if you train us on weekends!” Mina suggested.
”Sure, I’ll help you.” Elza sighed. “I used to be so confident about running. But there’s one opponent I just can’t beat.”
”Who’s that?” asked Lita.
Elza, lost in thought, didn’t answer. “I’m still chasing her back. Excuse me, I’m going to practice.”
As Elza left, Serena said, “I want to be like her. I’ll study hard so I can come here.”
They got up to continue their tour of the school. Elza screamed. The girls rushed to the track. There, down on the track, Elza was trying to run from Eudial.
The girls transformed.
”Mercury Star Power!”
”Mars Star Power!”
”Jupiter Star Power!”
”Venus Star Power!”
”Moon Cosmic Power!”
”Stop! The one who steals the heart of runners, I won’t forgive you. In the name of the Moon, I shall punish you!” Sailor Moon chalenged.
”Come out, demon,” Eudial ordered. The demon emerged and attacked.
”Venus Love Chain Encircle!” The attacks fizzled eachother out.
Up in a tree, Erica hid. She called Michelle on a communicator. “Elza Gray is being attacked.”
”I’ll be right there,” Michelle said and disappeared form the screen.
Eudial shot Elza with her gun. Her soul popped out. As she watched this, Erica said, “Michelle and I know Elza. She introdued her to me. That was before I became Sailor Uranus.”
Erica laughed. “I’m much too fast for you.”
”I was good at all sports. I was just doing them so I wouldn’t get bored. The only thing that real interested me was car racing. The circuit was everything, if I hadn’t met Michelle.”
In a park. Michelle and Elza stood with Erica. “This is Michelle Kaioh,” said Elza.
”You seem like a very interesting person,” said Michelle to Erica.
”I knew she sensed my identity.”
”I’d like to get to know you better,” Michelle continued. “Please be a model for my pictures.”
”No,” Erica replied flatly.
A cruise ship. Erica watched Michelle play violin. Later Michelle and Erica stood on the stairs. “You’re very famous,” said Michelle. “A girl in our school wants to drive with you in your car.”
A picture hung on the wall. It was titled “The End of the World.” Erica read the name of the artist. “I’m surprised a gentle girl like you can draw something like that, Michelle.”
”It’s not my imagination. I can see my fututre. Like you.”
”I just want to race. Stop following me.”
”I don’t want to do it either. I just want to play the violin.”
A garage. “Help me! Helpe me!” a person cried. As Erica got closer, he turned into a monster. the monster attacked. A pen appeared in midair.
”Don’t! If you grab that, you can never return to a normal life.” It was Neptune.
She turned to finish the monster but Erica stopped her. “Stop! The monster’s really a human.”
”If I don’t, there will be more victims.”
”So you’re not going to choose your methods.”
”Yes. I’m not going to choose.”
The demon recovered. It attacked Erica. Michelle dove to save her.
”Neptune Tidalwave Submerge!” The demon was dead.
Neptune had been injured. She fell to the ground. Erica went to her. “I might have killed him,” Neptune said. “Next time I’ll kill them. It’s not right, but I’m a Senshi. I choose this life.”
”Why did you protect?” asked Ercia. “If you injure your hand, Michelle, you won’t be able to play the violin.”
”I didn’t foloow you because you were the other Senshi. It was before I knew. I was watching you when you raced. I wanted to ride in the car beside the ocean with you. I knew more about than yourself. I’ve been watching you all the while. I don’t want you to take the same road as me. But I am glad I found the other Senshi.”
Erica reached toward the pen and grabbed it.
”Uranus Planet Power!”
”Neptune Planet Power!”
”Uranus Meteor Strike!” The attack knocked Elza’s soul crystal from Eudial’s hands.
Neptune snagged it out of midair. “This isn’t the talisman.”
”Attack them!” shouted Eudial.
The demon charged. “Mars Celestial Fire Surround!” The demon turned tail and ran.
Uranus took off after it. “You can’t escape from me. I am the wind.”
She tackled the demon. “Attack now, Neptune.”
”Neptune Tidalwave Submerge!” Uranus dashed away from the demon just before the attack struck.
”Moon Heart Spiral Collision!” The demon was destroyed.
Together Sailor Uranus and Neptune left. Watching them, Mars remarked, “Those two are very powerful.”
Later, as the day darkened to night, Erica and Michelle sat in Erica’s car. Erica said, “So I chose this road. I just accepted the fact that I’m a Sailor Senshi. I have to find the Messiah that will save this world. I’m glad I met you.”
Michelle was surprised. “What?”
”Let’s just keep driving together. I won’t ket you go tonight.”
