“…Nezu?? Nezu!?”
Nezu Chuuko snorted a bit and raised her head form her
desk. “Wha…?” She mumbled trying to wake up.
“Sleeping again I see!
Detention!!” Snapped the teacher at Nezu. Nezu grumbled under her breath and
waited for the bell to ring. This is the third time this week!! I’m going to
spend my whole life in Detention!! Thought Nezu as she yawned.
Brrrriiiinnnnggggg!!! Rang the bell. Nezu happily collected her stuff and
walked out the door and found her best friend, Chiko.
“Hi!” She greeted her
happily. “I have detention again…” Said Nezu.
“Fall asleep again?” Laughed
Chiko. Nezu sighed and continued walking.
“Man, what good is being a super
hero if you have to go to school?” Mumbled Nezu.
Chiko looked down at her
long time friend and smiled. “It’s OK Nezu! Besides, when you’re Sailor
Chuu, the bad guy or whoever is just as boring as the teachers!” Nezu
laughed a little and headed for her locker.
A little while later, Nezu got ready for acting class. Ever since Nezu was
little, she had wanted to be a star. But for some reason, Nezu was never
able to picture herself as one. It was strange, she always had this weird
feeling like she wouldn’t be able to become a star for some reason. At one
point, she thought it was because she was Sailor Chuu, and being Sailor Chuu
was her destiny. But after awhile, it seemed that there would be something
else in the way. Like she wouldn’t make it long enough to be a star.
Nezu sighed and entered the class. Today was a very important day. Today the
teacher would announce who got what parts in the play. Nezu waited patiently
on the end of the stage until the teacher finally entered. Everyone waited
eagerly as she read off the names and parts. Nezu crossed her fingers as she
got closer to announcing who got the star part. “…and for the leading part,
Nakio.”
Despair and happiness filled the room as everyone started talking.
Nezu stared at a spot on the ground. I…I didn’t get it… Nezu finally
confirmed what was going on and slowly walked off the stage and out the
door.
She walked outside and just continued walking until she bumped into a
pole. “Ow!! Stupid pole!!” She yelled and got up. Suddenly she heard
screaming and saw someone with long copper hair and a very revealing outfit.
She had gold bracelets on her wrists and tan skin. She watched as the girl
did something and suddenly a light shown and something was in her hand.
There were more screams and the girl went into the store. “CHUU PLANET
POWER, MAKE-UP!!” Yelled Nezu and she instantly transformed into Sailor
Chuu, protector of Planet Chuu! Sailor Chuu ran into the store and said,
“Hold it, lady!!”
The girl turned to her and stopped. “And who are you to
tell me what to do, shorty?!” She snorted. “SHORTY!? I am not that short!!
Quiet you old hag!!” Yelled back Sailor Chuu, her anger getting the best of
her.
“And who’s gonna stop me?” She yelled back.
“Me! I am Sailor Chuu!
Protector of Planet Chuu!” Yelled Sailor Chuu striking a pose.
“We’ll see about th-” The girl was cut off as someone suddenly appeared. She had a fuku
similar to Sailor Chuu’s.
“Lead Crow, leave me to this.” She said in a cold
voice.
“Yes Mistress Galaxia.” The girl, who was apparently named Lead Crow,
said and ran off.
“You are Sailor Chuu…?” Said the woman, Galaxia, as she
stepped up to Sailor Chuu.
“Y-Yea! And what do you think you’re doing!?” Demanded Chuu, trying to be brave.
“Sailor Chuu, I will give you two choices. You can die now, or you can give me your star seed and become my
servant. It’s your choice. Decide now.” Said Galaxia.
Sailor Chuu stepped
back and looked up at the woman. W-what is she talking about?! Star
seeds…I’ve…I’ve heard that before…but…from where?? It seems so
familiar…my…dreams…It came from my dreams…
“Well?!” Snapped Galaxia.
“W-what
are star seeds?!” Demanded Chuu.
“Star seeds are your life, without them you
die. But I can have you live with out it.” Said Galaxia. Eternal Servant or
death!? Wha…what…I…Chuu held her head in confusion and shut her eyes as
tight as she could.
“Well!? What is it!? Tell me or I’ll just take your Star
seed now!!” Snapped Galaxia. “I…” Galaxia raised her hand and Chuu stepped
back once more.
“W-what will happen if I am your servant!?” Demanded Sailor
Chuu.
“You will be happy…everyone will be safe…” Galaxia lied.
“And if I
don’t?” Asked Chuu quietly.
“Then you and everyone else dies!” Said Galaxia
and she smirked.
“I…I’ll be…I’ll be your servant!!” Yelled Chuu before she
knew it.
“Perfect…” Purred Galaxia. Chuu stood up and waited with her fists
ready. Galaxia extended her hand and Nezu suddenly felt a ripping in her
chest.
“Wha…AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!” Nezu let out a scream as her star seed was
taken. This…this is why I’ll never…fulfill…my…dream… Nezu closed her eyes
and the last thing she remembered was a vision of a girl with long silver
hair, she couldn’t see her face, but she said something…that was the last
thing Nezu ever saw.

Sometime later in Galaxia’s ‘lair’…

Sailor Iron Mouse slowly opened her eyes and looked around. Mostly
blackness surrounded her, she could hear something that sounded similar to
cat bells, and in the distance a glint of gold.
“Where am I? Wh…who am I?”
Sailor Iron Mouse stood up as best she could and looked down at herself.
“Who am I??” Sailor Iron Mouse held her head and closed her eyes shut.
What’s going on!? Who am I?! Sailor Iron Mouse opened her eyes when she
sensed someone coming. A woman dressed in a fuku of gold stepped up.
“Who are you!? Who am I?” Asked Sailor Iron Mouse.
“You are Sailor Iron Mouse, my
eternal slave. Your mission is to collect Star seeds, and nothing else. Your
common name will be Nezu Chuuko. You needn’t know more.” Said the woman like
and she vanished.
“Nezu…? Star seeds…?” Sailor Iron Mouse’s eyes flashed red
and she smirked in a very evil way. “Yes, Mistress Galaxia…”
