Rei Hino sat in her homeroom at T.A. private school when two girls came into the class. They both had striking green eyes. One had waist length light blue hair and the other had wavy blond hair that hung just a bit past her shoulders.
"Students, this is Dreala and Raena Fazzi. They have been moved up a level and will be joining us. By the way, they are also fraternal twins which, as you can tell, means they don't look alike," Sensei said.
The twins sat down in their new seats. Rei glanced over at them. There's something about them.......
"Hi," A voice said.
Rei Hino looked up from her lunch. Dreala and Raena stood before her.
"You're Rei Hino right?" The blond, Raena, asked.
"Yes."
"Can we sit with you? Since our schedules were changed, we don't have the same lunch we used to," Raena said.
"You're the only one we know in this lunch," Dreala said.
"That's okay," Rei said.
The two sisters sat down.
"As I'm sure you already know, I'm Dreala and that's my Raena, my sister," Dreala said. Her sister bowed slightly.
The two girls sat with Rei and started to talk.
"Ella, I'd like to introduce you to my friends Minako Aino, Ami Mizuno, Usagi Tsukino, Michiru Kaioh, and Haruka Tenoh."
Makoto said.
"Nice to meet you," Ella said.
"So Ella-san, what's America like?" Michiru asked.
"Like....Home," Ella said sorrowfully. She still missed her best friends. She wished they were with her. She wished they were there so she could talk to them about her new found identity.
"She still misses America," Makoto explained.
"Oh," The others said.
"I just miss my best friends. It's hard being so far away from them. Also, I feel weird speaking in japanese instead of English," Ella said.
"As far as the language goes, you'll get used to it," Minako said.
"But we can be your friends!" Usagi exclaimed happily, smiling.
Ella smiled at her.
"Thank you, Usagi-chan," Ella said.
Everyone was surprised Ella was using the -chan suffix instead of -san, but it pleased Usagi and she smiled.
"There's one of us you haven't met yet. Her name is Hino Rei," Makoto said.
"She's really nice," Ami said.
"As long as you don't count her bitchy attitude," Usagi added.
"Usagi! That wasn't polite," Haruka chided.
Usagi frowned. "But Rei-chan can be mean......to me."
"You can meet her after-school with us at the Hino shrine," Michiru said.
"Sounds nice. Okay," Ella said.
Rei walked to her shrine. Accompanying her were Dreala and Raena. The three girls had been talking a lot that day. After Dreala and Raena learned Rei's grandfather owned the Hino Shrine, they became very interested.
"Some of my friends from Juuban Highschool are coming over today. They are bringing this new girl, Ella, with them," Rei said.
"Fine with us," Dreala said.
"Yeah. It would be cool to meet some more people for a change," Raena said.
The group of girls walked up the increddibly large nimber of stairs and went inside Rei's shrine. Just moments after, the girls heard voices outside the room they sat in.
"Ugh! So many steps! How can you all take this?!" Ella asked, sitting down infront of the shrine.
"You know, I always said the same thing but Rei-chan and the others said I was exaggerating!" Usagi said.
"You were," The other girls said. Usagi facefaulted.
"Minna!" Rei said, stepping outside.
"Hi Rei," Usagi and the others said.
Ella remained silent.
Rei walked over to her. "So you're Ella Younger, right? The American girl?" Rei asked.
"Oh, yes I am," Ella said. She looked at Rei.
She looks so sophisticated..... Ella thought. She shook hands with Rei. That's when Dreala and Raena decided to show themselves.
Haruka was the first to take notice.
"Rei-chan, who's your friends?" Haruka asked.
Everyone turned to look. It was obvious the girls went to Rei's school because they wore the same uniform as Rei herself.
"Oh, these are Dreala and Raena Fazzi. I met them today. They just got their schedules changed and are in some of my classes," Rei explained.
Just as Ella set eyes on the girls, she had a flash. Her eyes widened in surprise. Oh my god, Ella thought.
The girls introduced themselves to Dreala and Raena and were starting to talk about how they are related. Usagi, Mkoto and the others were surprised to learn Dreala and Raena were twins. Ella, however, still hadn't come out of her shock.
It's them! The phantom senshi Sailor Karma and Sailor Heaven! Ella thought.
He sat on his throne in the darkness of his world. One of his minions, a high ranking general, stood before him. Her head was bowed, showing respect. She had short crimped orange hair and brown eyes.
"Your last attempt was a failure, Ica. You say you have a new target this time?" The figure said.
"Yes, my lord. A priestress girl with strong psychic power. She will have a very large amount of dream energy, I'm sure," She said. Ica raised her head. "Hopefully there will be no more disturbances."
"Hopefully. Now go," The figure ordered.
"By your command," Ica said, teleporting away.
The girls all gathered in Rei's room. All of them were talking happily, but Ella was faced with a problem.
How can I tell them of their identities? Where do I start? How can I talk to them alone? Ella wondered.
"Hey Ella-chan, tell us about America," Raena said.
"Yeah Ella, go ahead!" Makoto said. The others agreed as well.
"Well, I dunno. There isn't much to tell, I don't think. There's lots of malls and we have restaurants of all kinds...." Ella said.
"Do you have anime?" Dreala asked.
"Yeah, some. That's why my mom is here. She wanted to start an anime series in Japan," Ella said.
"Woah!" Usagi said.
"That's cool!" Minako said.
"Has she gotten much done?" Michiru asked.
"So far, she's presented the manga to a magazine. I don't know if they'll except it or not," Ella said.
"Well, we hope your mom gets successful," Rei said.
"When she does, I will get free copies of the manga in advance, right Ella-chan?" Usagi asked, her eyes gleaming.
Ella laughed. "Sure, Usagi."
"Yay!" Usagi cheered.
"Baka," Rei said.
"Ella, what's the school system like over in America?" Ami asked.
"Same old hell from Sptember till June! Thank god for Summer vacation," Ella said.
The other girls stared at her.
"Summer......" Rei, Minako, and Dreala began.
"Vacation?!" Makoto, Raena, and Usagi finished.
"Well...yeah. School ends on first or second week of June and starts up again in September.....You do get off for the summer, right?" Ella asked.
"No. Unlike America and many other countries, we go to school all year long. Japan has one of the longest school years in the world," Michiru said.
Ella's mouth dropped. "Longest......in the world?!" She said in shock.
The others nodded and Ella fell over backwards.
"Ella........" Makoto said.
"Why me? Why?" She asked no one in particular.
"Hey guys, why don't you give Dreala and I some time to hang out with Ella. We all should get to know each other," Raena said.
It's like they read my mind! Ella thought.
"Okay. Hey, let's go sit outside, everyone," Rei said.
The others walked out. Raena looked at Ella.
"What is it you have to discuss with us? Trust me, I know there's something. I can see it in your eyes," Raena said.
Ella was dumbfounded. "Damn. You're good," She said.
Raena shrugged. "What can I say? I can read people very well. So what is it?"
"Well, I don't know exactly how to tell you two this, but I guess I'll try. You two are part of what is known as the Phantom Senshi. You are Sailor Heaven and your sister is Sailor Karma. I need to awaken your powers so we can fight the evil nearing us. Deep down, you know my words are true," Ella said.
The twins were silent for a few moments. Dreala turned to Raena.
"She's right. I can feel it."
Raena nodded. "So can I..." she said.
Suddenly, a lavendar aura surrounded Dreala and a white aura surrounded Raena. Their hair was lifted up in the air, almost as if a wind had sent it upwards. A henshin wand appeared infront of each twin. Each one was silver and had silver stars circling the orb at the top, but the orb on Raena's was white, while the one on Dreala's was lavendar.
The twins took their wands, looking pretty calm despite all that had hapened in the last few minutes. Before any more words were spoken, a scream was heard outside. The three girls peeked outxside to see a youma attacking Rei, draining her of her dream energy.
"Rei-chan! We have to go save her!" Dreala said.
"Yes! And the others as well!" Raena said.
"Henshin yo!" Ella cried.
"Heaven Phantom Power Make-up!"
Raena held her hands together as if she were praying and a white light shone on her. Once it did, she put her arms out, making her body take on the outline of a cross. There was a flash, and then Sailor Heaven was visible. She wore a sailor fuku with a sky blue colar and white skirt. The bows were also white and her broach was sky blue. White cross earrings dangled from her ears. She wore a gold tiara with a white stone and gloves with sky blue trim. Her shoes were white high heels with criss-crossing straps going all the way up to her knees. Her choker was also white, and due to the way her skirt and top were seperate, her midriff was visible.
"Karma Phantom Power Make-up!"
Dreala held up her wand and ribbon of blue and lavendar swirled out of it. She danced briefly, then spun around, the ribbons surrounding her as she did. She put her hands infront of her face. There was a brief flash and the ribbons disappeared, being replaced by her sailor fuku. She moved her hands away from her face and posed. Like Sailor Heaven, her midriff was also visible. She wore a sailor fuku with a lavendar skirt and colar with blue bows. Her broach and choker were also lavendar, as was the stone in her golden tiara. She wore white gloves with 3 blue bands and blue boots which went up to her thighs.
"Dream Phantom Power Make-up!"
Ella transformed into Sailor Dream the same way she usually did. Once they finished transforming, the three girls ran outside.
The other Sailor Senshi were already outside, they noticed. They fought the monster while Rei lay on the ground, moaning in pain.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!"
"Sparkling Wide Pressure!"
Jupiter and Mercury attacked the youma, but the youma reflected their attacks, sending it back at the Sailor Senshi.
"Watch out!" Sailor Uranus cried.
All of them dodged the attack.
"Perhaps we should step in now," Sailor Karma said, grinning.
"Deathly Ribbon Dance!" Sailor Karma said. She danced briefly and created ribbons of blue energy from her hands. She flung these ribbons at her enemy.
The ribbons wrapped around the youma and turned into electricity, shocking it.
The Sailor Senshi saw this and were shocked by the awesome power these new senshi held in their attacks.
"Halo Brilliance!" Sailor Heaven said. A golden halo appeared above her head. She grabbed it, turned and threw it at the youma. It became a brilliant light which blinded the youma.
"Nightmare Caress!" Sailor Dream cried, finishing off the enemy. Sailor Dream picked up the sphere of dream energy and held it over Rei. It joined with her body once more and she showed signs of recovering.
"Who are you?" Sailor Jupiter asked.
"We are the Phantom Senshi," Sailor Heaven said.
"I am Sailor Karma," Sailor Karma said.
"I am Sailor Heaven," Sailor Heaven said.
"I am Sailor Dream," Sailor Dream said.
"You guys have excellent attacks and are Sailor Senshi, so how about telling us who you are? We could join forces to beat this new enemy," Sailor Moon suggested.
Sailor Karma and Sailor Heaven turned to Sailor Dream.
"We can't. We'll help you in any battle, but we can't get too close. There are reasons you wouldn't understand," Sailor Dream said.
With that, the three new senshi left.
"Reasons we can't understand?" Sailor Neptune asked.
"I wonder what those could be....." Sailor Venus said.
Hiding nearby was the orange-haired general known as Ica. "Sailor Dream has awakened?! And she's found two of the Phantom Senshi already? Master is not going to like this," she said to herself, teleporting away.
"Why can't we join with them Ella?" Dreala asked later when the three girls were leaving the Hino Shrine together.
"We just can't! My senshi self appeared to me and told me so. I'm not sure why, we just can't!" Ella said. Ella couldn't help but wonder though. Why can't we join them? What's the big secret? She thought.
