The Star Princess
Draconi Heartfire sat upon the ledge overlooking the city. Her
silver hair was flying to the right in the strong breeeze. She
gathered her leg up and placed her hands on her knee, allowing her
other leg to dangle carelessly. Her silver shorts matched her
silver vest. She wore long knee high boots that were laced tightly
in the front. Her golden armband on her right arm twinkled
brightly. "So this is where the scouts fight." She mumbled. She
sighed thoughtfully and her eyes glowed white for a moment. "You
called Heartfire?" Said a feminine voice to her right. She turned
to face her spy. Her black edged cut hair tied back in a ponytail.
Her black slip dress matched her hair and boots. "Yes Onyx. Is
there any sign of the Crystal in this city?" She asked curiously.
Onyx bowed her head. "Yes there is. The Negamoon are begginning to
plan for some of their top warriors to find Sailor Moon or her
daughter , Reenie and take their crystals away." She nodded and
turned to look at her servent. "I require both Crystals if I am to
succeed reverting Solan to himself. Let your attack be today, in
that temple that I see." She pointed to the visable area and Onyx
nodded subserviently then blipped away. She looked back at the
spreading city. The future site of Crystal Tokyo, she thought. She
sighed at the city name. It had been her home before the attacks of
the Negamoon had been rigged to point to her. The thought of her
Solan, lost to her all these years since the attack of the Moon
Kingdom sent a tear down her pale face.
The sun was setting and it would only be a matter of minutes before
she would be at the temple. She shook her head. With a sigh, she
stood on her graceful legs and leaped into the air letting herself
be levitated toward her destination. In a matter of minutes she
crossed over the city and landed gently on the temple’s roof. It
was a beautiful one indeed and she hoped it wouldn’t be damaged
during the fight. Unconsiously she realized this was one of the
future city’s points. Below her she heard voices and registered at
least six presences full of power. Interesting, she thought. Onyx
appeared in front of her and winked, blipping back inside the
temple. She waited for the awaited response.
"Hello girls. Anyone know where the Sailor Scouts are?" Onyx
murmured in her sweet voice. Something crashed. "Ahh!!" Someone
screamed, a little girl. "Do not hurt the pink-haired girl, Onyx."
She said, knowing her spy heard. "As you wish." Was her shouted
reply. "Mars Star Power!" "Mercury Star Power!" "Venus Star
Power!" "Jupiter Star Power!" She winced and rigged a force field ar
ound herself to keep the vibrations of power out. That also meant
not hearing their power enfilled words. She gasped as she saw the
little girl dash into the open space, panting as she ran. How she’s
grown, she thought proudly. Onyx appeared on the cement below
followed by five girls in Sailor suits. She hadn’t even heard
Serena’s transformation, only felt a minor twinge compared to the
blasts she once felt without the force field. Fire rings surrounded
Onyx and Heartfire knew that it was the one in red with raven hair.
Onyx leaped away and landed lightly in front of the little girl
trying to escape. "Where are you going?" She said harshly.
Heartfire narrowed her eyes in anger. Hopefully, Onyx wouldn’t get
carried away. Reenie screamed and turned to other way, running
toward Sailor Moon. She was embraced by her mother’s arms.
Heartfire leaned back and watched the fight with no interest, only
intently watching whenever Reenie was in the way.
Ice, love-chains, thunder, fire all went up against her servent,
but Heartfire had no care though every so often, a hit met its
target narrowly and injured her spy. Black stones flew at the
scouts, careful not to hit Reenie who was always protected by the
one in the golden pigtails. Two shadows appeared above them and
Heartfire willed herself to invisability. She looked up and saw, to
her fright, Stoneheart, her former second in command. And Solan,
dressed in silver and black, floating next to the one in green.
Stoneheart narrowed his eyes at Onyx. "Onyx, what are you doing?
The attack is not supposed to happen until tommarow! I will not
tolerate this insubordinance, anymore." Onyx watched dutifully at
her supiorior. A black lightning bolt hit her and she fell to the
ground. Stoneheart blipped away, leaving only his second commander,
Solan. Heartfire ignoreed him and only saw the stray globe directed
at Reenie, left behind by the commander. "Reenie!" She called.
With no thought, she leaped in front of the globe and took its
impact. Just as she always did.
A jolt of pain spread through her and she suffered it in a scream
as it lasted two minutes. She fell to her hands and knees in her
shock and shook her head. She wanted to collapse fully, but didn’t
dare, she knew she would pass out. Instead she stood unsteadily to
her feet and met the stares of the Scouts. Reenie watched her for a
moment but Heartfire ignored her reaction and limped to Onyx, who
laid breathing on the ground. "Good friend, you died for my wish
when you could’ve stayed with the Negamoon." No reply and she
stepped back a place. "Black Onyx Encassment!" She screamed,
raising her two hands to the same level, pointing at the black form.
Soon her friend was nothing but a black jewel. She picked up the
jewel and pocketed it in her boot. Who ever said you needed fancy
moves to use your power. If you know what you’re doing. Something
embraced her from behind and she held back the hiss of pain as she
was still sore. Reenie hugged her.
"Connie!" She yelled her nickname, short for her first name. "Hi,
Reenie." She whispered. She patted the smooth hair. She knew that
the Scouts were watching and pulled away. Reenie didn’t seem to
care. She set her jaw and kneeled to the ground. "What are you
doing here?" Reenie asked. Draconi didn’t answer and watched the
wary scouts. "I....came here to protect you. Nothing to do in the
future.” She mentally cursed herself at the half truth. Reenie
grasped her neck in another hug. This time, Draconi waited until
she pulled away. She stood and felt Reenie grasp her hand. With a
sudden jolt she was pulled closer to the scouts. "This is Connie."
She said and Heartfire bit her lower lip. She only allowed Reenie
and Solan call her by that name. "Call me Heartfire." She said and
felt the strain on her body after such a jolt. Her mind felt dizzy
and she was begginning to see things in mists. She knew that a
bunch of people headed up the stairs.
She grasped her head in dizziness and briefly saw the concern in
Reenie’s eyes. Soomeone screamed and the scouts put on a face of
anger at someone behind her, Reenie pulled her hand. Heartfire
didn’t understand and was too weak to move and too drowsy to hear.
A sudden jolt of electricity shot through her shoulders and she
turned to see someone in a black and silver cape and clothes,
grasping his hand in pain. It was Solan. Again he rushed at her,
physically and again the shock took place pulling them apart.
Heartfire got it worst since it was her curse.
With a sudden malice, Solan disappeared. Heartfire thought it
proper to faint into the guy behind her. Malicite? she thought then
those too ceased.
