Chapter 5 – Aya *Yawn* “Serena-chan? Do we have to go to the arcade RIGHT now?? School just ended…” “Of course Codie-chan! We have to beat the crowd!!” The two girls made there way down the street, knocking over a few people. Serena dragged Codie into the arcade, “Ooo! Today I’m gonna beat you, that’s a promise!!” Codie just smiled “Sure, sure.” Suddenly, Serena stopped. “What’s the matter?” asked Codie, but Serena just let out a strange laugh, “Codie-chan, that guy is TOTALLY starring at you. His eyes are gonna pop out of his head!” Codie laughed, “Dare? Doko??” Codie questioned. Serena pointed into a crowd, “There!” Codie’s eyes grew wide in shock, and began to fill with tears. “C,Codie?? What’s wrong??” But Codie could barely manage to speak, “I...I have to go Serena…I’ll talk to you later.” With that, she ran from the Arcade as fast as should could, and didn’t stop until she was home. She slammed the front door behind her. “Codie? What’s wrong??” asked Tama. But suddenly, Codie’s body just dropped, as the tears came… Tama stayed silently by her side until she had finished crying, and then spoke up. “Are you better now? I don’t mean to be harsh, but there are two new enemies, and they’re attacking the mall.” “Nani?? Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” “Ahahaha! You sailor senshi are so pathetic! Defeating you and stealing your energy will be a simple task!” The senshi looked up at the woman with the star on her mask. Would this be their end? Suddenly, a new hero joined them… “Urusai! Evil beings like you could never win! I am Sailor Star, the ultimate sailor senshi, and on behalf of the stars, I will punish you!” Sailor Star jumped towards the two enemies. “Solar Cosmic Aura!!” A bright beam shot towards the villains. “Nooooo!” Hikari ran in front of her comrade, feeling the full power of the attack. She fell on one knee. “Nice try, but…you’ll have to try harder than that! Hachi Oni, come forth and attack!!” Suddenly, a large octopus monster shot up from the ground, swinging its eight tentacles in the air. “Aah!” Codie screamed as the monster tried to hit her, but barely missed. “Kuso! What am I gonna do now…” She looked down, her arm was injured. “How dare you attack innocent people you disgusting monster?!” Codie starred in shock at the figure who had come to her rescue…how could he?! “I am the Dark Assassin, and on behalf of the Sun, I will punish those who…” “BAKA!! Why are you here?!” Sailor Star screamed at him. “N…nani? I’m here to save you!” “I don’t want, nor need your help!!!” Their conversation was then cut short as the insane monster grabbed Codie with one of its huge tentacles. “Aaaahh!!” The creature began to squeeze the life out of her. “I…don’t…need….you…” She managed to utter before passing out. “Sailor Star!!!” With his sword, the Dark Assassin cut threw the monster, grabbing Codie before she fell to the ground. “Sailor Senshi, can you handle the rest?” Sailor Moon just nodded, and the Dark Assassin flew off, with Sailor Star still unconscious in his arms. The man dressed in black jumped into the open window of the fallen senshi’s house. He began to leave, when a familiar voice called out to him. “Aya-sama, are you just going to leave her here, without any explanation?” Aya looked down at his old friend. “Long time no see, Tama.” “Hmm, well if you had stayed with us a little longer…” Tama trailed off coldly. “I deserve that. Demo, I don’t have time to talk about this. I have to go, I’m sorry old friend.” “What do you want me to tell her when she wakes up?” Aya looked down at his once close friend. “It won’t matter…she’s already made up her mind about me…”
