Konnichiwa Minna-chan! These characters are mine so don't take them
please! I know that the zodiac sign has been used for fics like this but
what I mean is don't take the attacks and the entrance phrases and so on
and so forth. These are what I'm copyrighting. Which means you have to ask
me first if you REALLY want to use them. Okay enough of that! I'd like to
dedicate this chapter to a friend of mine who has helped me emmensely by
providing unlimited resources to use at my disposal.

Chapter 2: Leader of One
"WHAT?!?!?!?!?" Lynne screamed, "That's impossible! That means I'm not
dreaming and I'm supposed to be at the principal's office RIGHT NOW! Oh
god I feel like ripping out someone's rib cage and wearing it as a hat!"
"You musn't be alarmed Lynne, it is your destiny and with this sort of
destiny comes specific obligations as well as regulations. You must never
tell anyone of your identity and you must never tell anyone that I can
talk, if you do then those people will have their lives put in great
danger. Do you understand?" Archimedes asked in a very serious tone.
"Yeah, yeah I know the drill. I'm gonna kill that Misstress if she ever
comes back. I'm so dead now. You know what, I'm gonna leave school right
now and just say I was really sick and couldn't go to the office for fear
of making others sick. Yeah that's it! How are you supposed to watch over
me and stuff? My parents won't let you in the house ya know. They won't
even let my sister Megan have a cat!" Megan said as she started to walk
out of the parking lot and towards home.
"I have already convinced your parents to let me stay. Not through the way
of speech but through hypnotism. They'll find a way to explain it to your
sister. Now as for my sleeping arrangements, I already have a good tree
hole for myself outside of your window. I can tell that you've already
used it to sneak away at one time or another. You will use that exact
same route to get to battles when they arise during the night." Archimedes
instructed as he perched himself on Lynne's shoulder.
Lynne looked at him closely and then said, "If you shit on my shoulder
I'll kill you."
Archimedes merely laughed and said, "I no longer have that needless
funtion. I don't eat, therefore I don't, as you say, 'shit'."
**10 minutes later at Lynne's House**
Lynne entered her empty house with Archimedes still perched on her
shoulder and took off her shoes.
"Well what do I do now Archimedes? Do I have special powers or
something?" Lynne asked as she plopped down on the sofa.
"Yes you do have 'special powers'. You have to transform to obtain them
though. To transform I have to give you your transformation brooch,
though I won't give it until I believe you are ready to recieve it. You
don't perchance take archery do you?" Archimedes inquired.
"Yeah every weekend I go practice at an abandoned farm. Why do you ask?"
Lynne replied.
"You'll understand later in your training. We'll go there every afternoon
so you can practice your fighting. In fact we'll go now, you won't be
doing anything for the next few hours anyway. Let's go!" Archimedes said
as he flew towards the door.
"Archimedes wait!" Lynne grouched as she ran after the astranged owl.
**At the Farm 45 minutes later**
"Okay enough track. I'd like to see how good your archery skills are."
Archimedes said as he brushed his feathers against his beak as if he were
rubbing his chin.
"Please Archimedes I've just run for a half hour! I need to rest! Your
going to wear me out before I even begin!" Lynne retorted in exasperation.
"No complaining! You have to imagine your somewhere else and not tired.
Then shoot the target and it'll be a perfect shot. Go ahead and try it!"
Archimedes encouraged.
"Fine as long as we make a deal, I'll do this for another half hour if
then I can then take a rest wherever I want, deal?" Lynne asked
connivingly.
"Alright but you have to really try. I want you to shoot that can on the
fence." Archimedes ordered.
"Where? I don't see any can?" Lynne replied as she scanned the nearest
fence.
"That one about half a mile down the road." Archimedes smirked.
"What I can't hit that! No! No way! I'm not even going to attempt it!"
Lynne said hysterically.
"Sure you can, just don't thnk of the distance. Close your eyes and
invision it." Archimedes chided.
Lynne sighed and picked up her bow and arrow got the target in range,
closed her eyes, and shot the arrow to where she thought the can would be.
She opened her eyes and saw that she hadn't hit the intended target. She
whipped around to face Archimedes and grunted, "I told you I wouldn't get
it."
"That's your problem exactly, your thinking ability. You thought you
couldn't do it, so you didn't. You thought about where the can was, you
didn't feel where it was. Now try again, the sooner you hit it the sooner
you can rest." Archimedes scolded.
Lynne plucked another arrow from her satchel and aimed for the can again.
When she didn't think about where the can was a feeling of peace came over
her. She could swear in a court of law that she could feel the can and
know exactly where it was. Lynne pulled the bowstring back and she felt
the bow bend. She released the string and heard the twang as the string
and bow relaxed.
"Good show! You got the target!" Archimedes shouted with joy.
Lynne opened her eyes in amazement. "Really I did? Well so I did! I can
go now right?" Lynne excitedly stated.
Archimedes groaned, "Yes go! Have a blast! But be back here in an hour.
I'm going hunting for a mouse for my lunch." Archimedes then flew off into
the trees.
{Strange little owl.} Lynne thought as she watched Archimedes fly off.
Lynne got on her bike and began her ride back to the city. She heard a
scream and immediately stopped. "What the.." she said as she went in
search of the scream.
"Heellpppp ME!!!!"
"Where are you?!" Lynne screamed into the woods when she heard the cry
for help.
Then Lynne saw what all the hulabalu was about. Some sort of monster was
attack a female hiker. It looked like something was coming out of the
woman and going into the monster.
"Hey you! Stop that right now! Get away from her or I'll punish you!"
Lynne yelled at the moster.
{Punish it? With what? I should be running for my own life!} Lynne thought
hysterically.
"Lynne CATCH!"
"What the....ARCHIMEDES! What is this thing?" Lynne said as her curiosity
overroad her shock.
"It is your brooch, you know what to do with it. Look into your heart for
the answer!" Archimedes yelled to her.
Lynne stopped what she was doing closed her eyes and felt energy start to
swirl around her. When she looked inside herself she saw the sign of
Saggitarius and a phrase automatically came to her lips.
"Saggitarius Star Power!"
A Burst of purple and green light surrounded Lynne. It turned into a
column of pyrple and green light before turning into a bow and arrow.
Sailor Saggitarius now stood where Lynne had once been.
Sailor Saggitarius wore purple short shorts, aswell as a purple shoulder
flap, gloves and boots. Green was the secondary colour of the outfit, a
green bow adorned her chest and a green choker was around her neck. A
tiara with an amethyst jewel sat upon her brow.
"In ancient times and the now, gods ruled over men, and mythical beasts
roamed the land. Anyone and everyone was free to do what they pleased and
follow whom ever they chose. You threaten humanity by trying to inflict
dictatorship throughtout the world. For this you will not be forgiven. In
the name of Saggitarius I will punish you!" Sailor Saggitarius yelled at
the monster.
"Well that's nice to know little girl. But I have a job to be done and not
even you will stand in the way of my great queen. For all that is evil
your energy is MINE!" the monster retaliated and lunged for S.Saggitarius'
neck.
S.Saggitarius dodge the moster but was unawares of a tentacle surrounding
her feet. It wasn't until Archimedes yelled, "Watch Out!" that she knew
the moster had her.
"Thought you were tough huh girly! Well I got you now, and your energy is
mine!" sneered the monster.
"You don't have anything!" S.Saggitarius grunted back as she threw her
head and legs back, simultaneously head butting and kicking the monster.
"Oh so your the male species are you. That must have really hurt eh?"
S.Saggitarius observed as the monster went down on its knees and covered
its groin area.
"I'm not through yet girly!" the monster groaned as it staggered to its
feet. It opened its mouth and a burst of light shot forth and hit S.
Saggitarius square in the chest.
"Ugh!" S.Saggitarius cried out as her back hit a fallen tree trunk,
"That's it now I'm mad!" she yelled as she jumped to her feet.
"Saggitarius Arrow Barrage!"
S.Saggitarius strung the bow and arrow she had and as she pulled back the
arrow it multiplied drastically. They turned into purple beams of light,
instead of aiming at her target she shot the mulitple arrow beams into
the air above the monster. They shot stariaght up and stopped right over
the head of the monster. While the monster was being meserized by the
arrows of light, S.Saggitarius took up her next attack.
Just as the arrows started to plunge back to earth, aimed at the monster,
S.Saggitarius made her next move.
"Centaurus Saggitarian Hoof!"
S.Saggitarius feet began to glow purple as she did a backflip in the air.
When her feet began to touch the ground she ground her heels into it. The
glowing of her feet went right into the ground. As the arrows struck the
onster the ground beneath it erupted in a pulse of light. The monster
never knew what hit it.
"Yes I got it! It's totally disappeared!" S.Saggitarius yelled and
screamed as she jumped at her first victory.
"That's all very well and good. Would you mind taking that poor woman to
a hospital now." Archimedes calmly stated as he sat perched on a branch
near the fallen hiker.
"How do I get back to my normal clothes? Or do I take her now and worry
about that later?" S.Saggitarius asked in angst.
"You'd better go as is. Your mother will be very cross if she finds out
you were out in the woods with a danger nearby. Besides the police wil ask
less questions of a person they can't believe would be real. I mean would
you believe in a superhero?" Archimedes said with a smirk.
"I guess your right. Well off we go then." S.Saggitarius concluded as she,
quite easily to her surprise, lifted the female hiker and ran for the
nearest hospital.
{Thank god there were no police! If I had to answer any questions I
probably would have split everything out on the table.} Lynne thought as
she walked through the front door off her house.
"ALRIGHT YOU! Hold it right there! Where in the world have you been?!"
{Oh no....} "Mom if you'll just calm down and list..." Lynne started but
her mother cut her off.
"Don't you tell me what to do! You just can't leave school whenever you
feel like it! I've been worried have to death! I thought maybe you had
gone home sick and that would have been better then my finding out you've
just been playing hooky!" Mrs. Centaurus yelled.
"I was feeling sick! I just went for a walk to clear my head cause the
house was all stuffy! So stop yelling at me!" Lynne screamed back.
Lynne ran up to her room and flopped down on her bed. {Why me?} she
thought bitterly.
"You are the chosen one that's why."
"Archimedes how did you...." Lynne jumped up saying.
"Read your mind? Simple, you and I are bonded. You don't understand owl
so don't even try to read my mind, you wouldn't understand anything in my
head." Archimedes finished her sentence and continued with his own.
"So what does that make me now? I have no team mates. What am I the
leader of?" Lynne asked as she started to fall into slumber.
"You are the Leader of One now. But soon you will be the Leader of the
Astro Senshi....." That was all Lynne heard from Archimedes as the dream
world took her in its arms.
