Violet/ Sailor Purple Calcite

Sometime during the day, Amber appeared int eh park that Violet was training in, and the two girls decided to train together for the rest of the day, helping each other out. 

Their training time was suddenly cut short when it turned to night way ahead of when it was supposed to be. Violet looked up as clouds covered the sun, and the world darkened. 

"Huh? What's going on?" Whatever was happening didn't feel natural, and Violet started to wonder if it was Sailor Dark behind this. She saw the dark energy in the distance, near the ocean, and made up her mind. "Let's go see what that is," she said to Amber, now Sailor Red Calcite. Sailor P turned and started making her way towards the cliff.

Leon/Knight of Ice

Leon was in the middle of his training, when the sky grew dark. He stood still and could sense something was wrong. Leon left the creek and returned to the center of the park. From far away he could see some kind of activity. He wondered if Sailor Dark was behind all of this. He quickly rushed off and headed toward the cliff.

Vivi/ Sailor Green Calcite

Sailor Green was practicing when she felt an inner calling to go somewhere. Her feet led her to an ocean. All the while she was wondering, was she someone connected to the others who were in sailor fuku? Was she their ally, were they hers?

As she walked, she kept her eyes and ears open.  When she arrived at the ocean she saw some of the others there. She walked over and waited to see what would happen next.

Amber ~ Sailor Red Calcite

Amber had really gotten into the zone with her training. Despite feeling awkward, she had learned a lot from the things Sailor P had to teach, and she felt like she may have given some helpful hints too. It was nice...actually collaborating with someone for a change. But it would still take a lot for her to truly warm up to people.

Suddenly, the sky grew dark much earlier than it was supposed to. Amber began to feel cold, and she knew this had to be the work of that brat who threw her into a wall. Nodding, she followed P to the source, wondering if this would be some sort of huge battle. But with the big group of senshi that had accumulated in the club, how hard could it be to defeat one crazy girl?

May/ Sailor Pink Calcite

When the skies began to turn grey, seemingly out of no where, May knew something was going on. Something was wrong, she just knew it. Hoping that she would be more help than hindrance, she quickly made her way to where the skies were the darkest.

As she got closer, she could see the same woman from the club there. Has she come back to challenge us? May couldn't help but wonder.

Alex followed the instinctual sense of direction that came out of nowhere down to the ocean.  As they traveled her thoughts turned to her earlier training, she had just figured out these moves, what if she still couldn't use them at will?  Her role was to protect, that much she knew, but if she failed, that could mean... She shook her head back and forth and almost tripped, but she regained her balance and kept moving forward.  She glanced back seeing that Taric was still with her.  Having doubts will only cause me to stumble, and I can't fail!  

Upon reaching the area, Alex looked around and saw that the other senshi had come as well.  She looked at each one briefly, recalling their name and possible powers.  She paused on Sailor Grey or Mimi, the only one she had actually been able to talk to before the fight broke out.  Even though things had gotten a little crazy, she hoped that the girl would still be willing to be her friend.  The dark sky reminder her of why they were there though, and she snapped back to the present.

Mimi / Sailor Grey Calcite

She was not alone. The others had been drawn here, too. This validated her vague feelings that somehow this was meant to be: destiny. The dark one--she must also know they were here. She was trying to draw them in. This, too, felt impossible to avoid. Mimi only hoped that they would be successful this time.

As she looked over at the others, her eyes momentarily locked with the golden eyes of the one she had spoken to at the club, before the fight. Alex, the beautiful woman, slightly younger than her, who had danced with so much enthusiasm. Mimi remembered a flash of the blonde hair in the dim lights of the club, her tan skin flushed with the activity, and blushed. Stay focused, she chided herself, trying to hide her awkwardness with a slight wave as she approached the pair.

"It looks like we all sensed it," she said, looking up at the girl's eyes again and then glancing away.

She hadn't yet transformed, but she knew it was imminent. That was what they had come here for, after all--another battle.

Kari/Sailor Stellar Beam Calcite

Just as she walked to her fellow Senshi, she noticed the sky turning dark, all of a sudden. Kari shivered. Did she... return? The girl in black and orange from earlier? She felt queasy at the thought.

Suddenly Vivi walked away, apparently looking for the source of it. She knew it too.
"Hey, wait for me," she shouted, looking for her Calcite and eventually transformed.

On their way to the source of the dark energy Stellar Beam had only one thing in mind: Would they defeat her this time?

At the end Stellar Beam stopped at the ocean, already spotting the others. There was no doubt - she was back.

OOC:

 

Artemis, I don't know if you maybe over-read it but Kari walked towards Vivi and talked to her in my last post

Violet/ Sailor Purple Calcite

When Violet finally slowed down, she was by the sea. She could hear the waves crashing against the rocks, and in another situation, she'd find the view great. But the unnatural night time wasn't very relaxing, so she focused on finding Sailor Dark. 

Sailor P moved quieter now, not wanting to ruin the element of surprise, if they had ever had it in the first place. It seemed like the others had also met up, so now was a good of a time as any to make their move. Finally, she saw Sailor Dark in a clearing, just....waiting. 

"There she is... Should we attack her now?" Violet asked the group in general.

Vivi/ Sailor Green Calcite


Sailor Green suddenly stopped when she heard someone calling after her. She felt bad, she hadn't been trying to ignore the girl, it was as if she was fixated on the energy she could sense. She turned and smiled at the girl, 

"I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to leave you behind, but you do sense this, its very strong, I am also not use to working with others, actually I am not use to working at all, but its all coming back to me. I'm Sailor Green, who are you?" She asked the girl before her.

When purple asked if they should attack, Green chimed in, "I'm not sure, do you think its safe, I will support you if you want to attack, but we don't know what we are getting into do we?"

Sailor Dark kept her eyes closed, reading the new auras grow closer to her. Her psychic energy felt the knights and senshi like a snake sensed heat. She could feel them coming. They were like flies to a light, and were about to get burned.

Honey's Awakening:

 

Alex scoffed at Taric, swatting his hand away from the wheel as he commented on her deplorable driving skills.  “I’m the one that they asked to go to the store, you’re just along for the ride,” she retorted back, a grin on her face.  Their conversation continued until they had reached the mountain pass and the rain began falling more heavily.  Alex became quiet as she focused on the road, glancing at the ravine beside them every few seconds.  Taric had commented something about letting him drive and she had glanced to him to return some smart comeback.


The amount of time she had taken her eyes off the road was minimal, a second in time at the most.  She saw the tree too late and slammed on the break, causing the car to skid wildly.  Her hands gripped the steering wheel, attempting to regain control of the car but there was no control left for her.  She felt her heart stop as everything seemed to slow down.  She watched, unable to move, as the car flew off the road and into the ravine.  Prying her eyes off the impending wall of rock she was reminded of her brother.  Her thoughts began to scream, begging for his life to be spared from the consequences of her mistake.  It seemed that they would hit the mountainside any moment, she waited for impact cursing her inability to do nothing to save him.

The heart that Alex thought would never beat again thumped once in her chest.  Her whole body shook as another thump erupted from inside. With every thump of her heart, energy pulsed through her body. There had to be a way! Her whole being became focused on one thing only: protect Taric.  She looked at the wall once more, now just a second from impact, and turned to face Taric.  She was glad that it was her side that would hit first, it would give her more time, to do what? She wasn’t sure.  She felt nothing but warmth as the car made contact with the wall, the energy that she had felt pulsing in her body released itself.  The energy felt the warmest on her wrist, a bracelet she had received from Taric years ago.  She saw a yellow light, and the sound of a voice made it to her ears before it all faded to black.



Something wet on my cheek.  She became aware of touch first, there was an arm, a hand, and she realized someone was holding her.  What is this?  She tried to move but found that she was unable to budge any muscle.  Am I dead?  Then she became aware of sound, a man sobbing quietly and rain hitting the ground around them.  Did Taric…?  The dark gave way to fuzzy light as she slowly opened her eyes and began to focus.  The first thing she saw was his face so close to hers and… crying?  He’s alive! It was like every muscle had been tensed up until this realization allowed her to finally relax.  She still could not move but she became aware of another feeling.  Warmth coming from Taric and flowing into her.  She couldn’t quite understand what had just happened but she allowed the relief of Taric’s safety to wash over her and she closed her eyes again.  Before allowing herself to melt into the warm energy that surrounded her, she managed to whisper “You’re such a crybaby.” And the corners of her mouth twitched up. Now she was no longer enveloped by darkness but by a light that was so pure.

Clear's Awakening:

 

He threw his arms out to either side as the car skidded wildly on the wet road, bracing his legs against the passenger-side foot-well as his sister tried desperately to regain control over their car. He hadn’t meant to distract her – he just wanted her to let him drive. It was dark, it was raining, and he was the better driver, especially on the mountain roads, but that didn’t matter now. The car smashed through the tiny wooden guard rail without pausing. He shouldn’t have distracted her. His stomach lurched and his heart pounded as the wheels left the ground and the car shot off, flying blindly into the rocky ravine below.

 
His whole life flashed before his eyes – birthday parties, first days of school, joining clubs, trying out for the senior play, choosing a college; visiting grandparents, pool parties, his parents, and his constant companion through it all: Alex. Alex was forefront – they had always been there for each other, despite the snark, the arguments, and differences in opinion, they could always count on each other. And now…
 
The rock was getting closer and closer, time seeming to slow in their last moments. Every rough, quick heartbeat seemed almost an eternity of waiting for the inevitable. He was afraid. He knew Alex would be, too, but his hand wouldn’t move fast enough to take hers and exit the world as they entered: together. There was no way they’d survive this. He turned to face her and found his fear reflected in her eyes, but there was something else, too; something he didn’t recognize. He wanted to tell her that he loved her, that he didn’t blame her, that she was his best friend, and that he couldn’t’ve asked for a better sister, but the rock came first. It tore into the car, metal bending and breaking to its will, and all he could manage was “Alex –“ before the end came.
 
But the end never came.
 
Within the next second a bright and soft yellow light exploded from Alex, enveloping her, and with inhuman speed she was out of her seatbelt and crouching between him and the rock accelerating towards them. As the rock pressed against her she rocketed forward, embracing him, and both of them shot out throughhis door, the metal screeching and glass breaking before the rock had a chance to. Then they fell; his eyes were wide as they left the car behind and tumbled down the mountainside; Alex still held him close to her, and whenever they crashed against the rock-face she was always the one that hit, but she didn’t seem to even be aware of it. He cried out for her, calling her name over and over as she bounced and scraped down the mountainside – he felt nothing on his own body, and could see nothing but her short blonde hair as they fell, but through their connection he could tell she was in pain, that she was hurting, and panic filled his chest, joining with the fear, but now it was nothing about him – it was all about her. She was doing this – he didn’t know how, but she was somehow sacrificing herself for him.
 
Finally they landed on flat ground and rolled, over and over, until his momentum tore him from her arms and they separated. He skidded, throwing out his hands, elbows, knees, feet – whatever he could to stop him from moving and, as soon as he could, to push him forward towards his sister, who lay unnaturally still. She was bleeding, her body broken, covered in cuts and scrapes; she was barely breathing, and it took all that Taric had to calm himself and stop screaming, his heart pounding faster and harder now than it ever had during the crash. He gathered her into his lap, pushing her wet, bloody hair away from her face, and cried, afraid to look at the rest of her, not knowing what to do – there was no way anyone could reach them in time; they were at the bottom of a ravine, in the dark, in the rain. Alex might – Alex could –
 
He hurt so much. Tears wouldn’t stop flowing, he couldn’t catch his breath – she was getting so weak! And then something started to shine out of the corner of his eye. He turned, hoping desperately that it was a flashlight, that somehow someone was here, and that they could help her – but it was just a rock. He shook his head, ignoring it to focus on her, but it kept on glowing, getting brighter and brighter. He felt stupid – Alex used to tease him about his love of fantasy books – but that little voice inside, the voice that craved for the existence of magic, real magic, wouldn’t let the image of the glowing rock alone. He pressed his forehead to hers, his sobs coming faster as her breathing became slower, and finally, desperately, he reached out and grabbed the glowing stone. He willed it to help – he willed it to be something more than what it was. He willed it to help them, to save Alex. He gripped it tightly in one hand, holding her close with his other, and kept his forehead to hers as he directed his every thought, his every ounce of energy, into willing her to get better. The stone disappeared, and he sobbed again – had he imagined it? – and held Alex closer. 
 
She started to relax in his arms and his heart screamed painfully in his chest.
 
But then, soft above the pounding of the rain and the blood rushing through his ears, he heard her whisper, “You’re such a crybaby.”  Relief swept through him so quickly his sobs of pain turned into barks of laugher, each peal releasing more and more tension from him. He released her, looking at her, then hugged away; there was something going on, some sort of energy transfer from him to her, and he didn’t know how it started but didn’t want it to stop, not until she was better, until she stopped bleeding and her bones mended.
 
Search and rescue found the twins later that night, and they were airlifted to the nearest hospital, where they were both released after thorough scans. It was a miracle that they survived, doctors would say, but it was even more of a marvel that they both came out of it unscathed…

Sailor Dark’s eyes snapped open when a familiar voice flooded through her mind.

Violet wrote:

"There she is... Should we attack her now?" Violet asked the group in general.

Sailor Dark looked down below, they were still not in her eye site, but close enough for her mind to reach out to them. She sent out a dark and powerful message in attempts to win.


"Don't you remember me? We all lived on the Planet of Calcite in the Gem Galaxy thousands of years ago. I ruled, and you served me. Together we were an unstopable force. Every planet within light years from the Calcite Planet feared us. We had absolute power! I open an invitation to you now, join me once more, and together we can rule the Milky Way" Along with the message, flashes of Sailor Dark's destruction filled the Calcite Senshi and Knight's minds. Terror and destruction, that was their purpose. 


"I am Sailor Dark Calcite, and you are the Calcite Senshi and Knights who followed me. Join me once more!" The repetition continued.


Task: Complete by 6/18 by 11pm EST
Recall the memories. Recall what your Calcite power is and understand your color/power. Post a description of the terror you once brought upon the Gem Galaxy. Feel free to use your imagination and create planets and scenarios, as long as you don't God Mod. React. Don't attack yet.

Violet/ Sailor Purple Calcite

Before she could even respond to Vivi, a commanding voice echoed in her head, like a loudspeaker she couldn't turn off. Violet was forced to listen as Sailor Dark Calcite spoke about a Calcite planet and a Gem Galaxy long ago, and how she had ruled it. And the rest of them were...her loyal senshi and knights? But why would she serve such a person? Violet didn't like the idea of being used to terrorize people at all, like some kind of human weapon.

"No, I wouldn't do that..." Violet tried to fight back, but her head stung, and she dropped to one knee as the memories overcame her.

Sailor Purple Calcite was barely visible, she was so deep in the shadows she had collected. She wore it like a cloak in her past, and she was so entrenched in them that it was a rare event to actually see her in the light. Only the Purple Calcite on her tiara shone, manipulating the darkness to drag people away with shadowy claws and tentacles. They always screamed when their own shadows betrayed them, bringing them to her to torture in the name of Sailor Dark Calcite. 

She remembered whole planets being consumed by the back void for daring to rebel, and she watched with monstrous grin, like it was a game. Sailor P was so in sync with them that she had forgotten where her body ended and the darkness began. She was a shadowy wraith.

Mimi / Sailor Grey Calcite

As soon as the figure spoke, she transformed herself into Sailor Grey Calcite, feeling her own inner calm intensify as the waves of her power washed over her. The words rang out in her mind, but she didn't know yet where the dark woman was. Instead, she could only think about what was said... Her past life... the evil that she spread? What...? Her gray eyes widened as the memories flooded in.

The Ruby Tower burst into flames as it crumbled to the ground, civilians screaming in terror. She saw it from a distance, a faint smile playing on her lips. Soon those powerless fools would truly understand who they had dared to challenge. She turned to her teammate and nodded, eyes flickering as the other woman grinned back. The helpless Rubyites would learn their place!

This was their last attack, it was filled with their hopes and dreams, their desire to live.  Honey only laughed then spoke in a low whisper,  "You think this weak show of power can defeat me?" Jumping to the front her of companions she dug her feet into the ground.  "I don't even need a shield to handle this!" She took the energy blast head on, after a few breathtaking seconds she deflected the attack away. She was the Calcite Senshi's shield, she protected them, her powers allowed the others to work freely.  


Alex was vaguely aware that she was now in her Senshi outfit, her breath's were slow and shallow, as if she was repeatedly holding her breath.  Tears rolled down her cheeks as more memories flooded her mind.

Scene after scene, she would take on the strongest opponents from the planet, keeping their attention, while the others carried out Sailor Dark's plans.  She laughed at their enemies weakness, their feeble attempts to save themselves.  "Only the strong survive!" She would say and she believed it, because she was strong.  She was a physical fighter, having mastered several forms of close combat.  Her vocal powers would call the enemy's attention to her and she could take hit after hit after hit.  She never backed down.

Kari/Sailor Stellar Beam

Stellar Beam couldn’t help but giggle at Green’s apologize. It was just too cute. “Don’t worry,” she reassured her, laughing heartily. “I’m forgiving!”

The woman’s laugh, however, faded away as she sensed the dark woman’s presence. Stellar Beam shifted into a strong position and looked for the dark Senshi. This time she wouldn’t escape. This time they would defeat her.

But what was that? Suddenly she heard a woman's voice, probably audible at the whole coast. Sailor Dark? Joining her? To subdue the Milky Way?
"Are you high?," Stellar Beam only replied, not until later realizing what she just said. "Why should we join someone like you? I would rather die than joining you!"

Just as she said that she suddenly felt a piercing pain in her temples, a vision appearing in her mind.
A whole town was destroyed - the buildings collapsed and the cars were burning. And in the middle of all that she saw... herself?
Stellar Beam stood in the center of the horrible scenery, sneering at the destroyed town and the injured people. 'Go to hell,' she shouted at them, a huge amount of energy emerging in her hands. The energy ball flew towards the people, ending in a great explosion until everyone was dead except her. 'Sailor Dark will be proud of me,' the short-haired blond said, enjoying the chaotic scenery.

Stellar Beam gazed into the distance, not believing what she just saw. "Liar..."
"Liar!," she shouted, looking for Sailor Dark. "I would never do something like that!" Or would she?

Her voice crept through his mind like a worm wiggling through moist earth, the invasion raising goosebumps over his flesh and a shudder through his spine. 

Don't you remember me? We all lived on the Planet of Calcite in the Gem Galaxy, thousands of years ago...
He could see it - Calcite planet, a place as beautiful as it was deadly. Spires rose towards thundering clouds, their vibrant light reflecting and shining through a powerful storm.
I ruled, and you served me.
He remembered looking up from a kneeling bow to see her standing on a dais, a cruel looking throne behind her. She looked down at them contemptuously, but proudly, as though regarding them as part of an elegant collection. He could feel the smile pulling at his lips, could sense the others close to him, a rainbow of color in his peripheral as they all gathered around her in a semicircle of fealty.
Together we were an unstoppable force. Every planet within light years from the Calcite Planet feared us. We had absolute power!
The scene changed to that of war - of watching from above as explosions rocked the land, as heroes fought valiantly and fell under their strength. He saw the masses quivering in fear, bowing down before them, giving over their rights...
I open an invitation to you now: Join me once more, and together we can rule the Milky Way!
He could see it, clear as day. Following her into battle, having the Earth submit to them, then moving on... other planets, other people, falling under their rule. 

He felt sick to his stomach. Had he really been part of all that? Was that really him - that person who served so willingly, who helped plan invasions, who encouraged striking when the other side was weak? Was this what his destiny was now? He was the Knight of Clear Calcite, and his powers allowed him to heal the wounded; that much he knew for certain, but the power that she offered - had he had that before? The power over lives? Did he want it again if he had? 

'I am Sailor Dark Calcite, and you are the Calcite Senshi and Knights who followed me. Join me once more!'


He stood grimly, undecided as to what to do. 

'Liar!' Stellar Beam shouted, 'I would never do something like that!'


A clear thought shot through Taric's mind, and after it, suspicion. They had decided before that her powers must be psychic based - was this a trick? She could obviously enter their minds at will - had she implanted these scenes? He waited quietly, watching the others.

May/ Sailor Pink Calcite 

No, this couldn't be true could it? She wouldn't have been a destructive, evil force in the galaxy. It just wasn't possible. 

As the Senshi in front of her continued to speak, memories began to flood May's mind. Her power, the Pink Calcite, was that of love. However, like any emotion, it had its darker side. From love came jealousy, a destructive emotion.  She had allowed that emotion to rule her, laying waste to many different worlds. 

"Never, never again," she whispered. "I won't do that ever again! Even if what you said was true, people change." She felt her stomach roll as more and more memories began to assault her. Whimpering, she brought her hands to her head. This couldn't be true, she refused to believe she had really been like that.

Leon/Knight of Ice


Leon approached the area and saw Dark was standing on a cliff. He noticed the others were getting closer and decided to head toward them. Leon then stopped in his tracks, when Dark spoke. Memories flooded his mind. He now remember who he was. A cold blooded monster. His heart was pure ice and he abused his powers. As Knight of Ice he would travel across the galaxy. He would freeze villages and cover them in a blanket of snow. He found pure joy in terrorizing people. 

He shook his head trying to drive the memories out of his mind. That was then this was now, right? He wasn't that person anymore. He was Leon. A hot headed idiot with social issues. 

"I will never join you!" He shouted in anger.

Vivi/ Sailor Green Calcite


Sailor Green was walking with Sailor Stellar Beam when she heard the voice, Sailor Dark was saying they were all her senshi/ knights. Green couldn't imagine being bad or mean. She had never inflicted pain on anyone growing up and hated to see others suffer, and yet memories came to the forefront of her mind.

Green felt as though she had been hit by a semi truck as she found a place to sit. She tried to block the memories, but they came so fast that it hurt for Green to see herself. She had a wicked smile on her face as she summoned lightning down on people, destroying houses, buildings, and even people, anyone and anything that got in her way was destroyed, as she saw the devilish grin on her face, she also saw her green gem glowing  on her choker. 

That must be the key to her powers. 

"I'm not that person anymore and I will never harm another person again, you will not control me again." She said as she rose to her feet, feeling confident in herself.

Mimi / Sailor Grey Calcite

That woman.

Sailor Grey's eyes widened, and her lips parted in a small gasp. Yes. I know her.

She... she looked so much like the woman from the club, but without any of the malice. She felt her heart thud in her chest, and the star of grey calcite sparkled on her mask. They were all Calcite sailor soldiers, named for the colour of their representative gem. Together they nearly formed a rainbow, but one was missing. Orange... The woman in that glimpse wore an orange uniform. Their identical opponent had accents of orange on her armor. Could it really be a coincidence?

And then the dark energy crackled around her body. Sailor Grey bit down on her tongue to keep from screaming. It burned coldly, like touching dry ice. The force of the blast threw her off her feet, slamming her into the ground. When she struggled to her feet, her muscles twitched from the energy and ached from the impact.

She thought of her meditation earlier. Perhaps there was a similar way she could connect to her powers now.

Sailor Grey Calcite pressed her palms together, her hands at the level of her chest and her fingers straight, and lowered her head. A slight wisp of a breeze seemed to form around her body, fluttering her sailor uniform and toying with strands of her pale hair. A white poppy seemed to blossom from the ground under her feet, transparent and glowing.

The piece of grey Calcite on her mask began to glow. As it did so, it faintly lit the Calcite on her other teammates, granting them an enhanced level of inner peace and improving their own focus. Sailor Grey hoped this would provide support until she could find a way to channel her calming energy to their current opponent.

Amber ~ Sailor Red Calcite

As Sailor Dark spoke, Amber felt her ears begin to ring. Images of all different sorts were floating through her mind, but not matter how hard she tried to block them out, Amber couldn't stop them. What were they? Were they...memories? Memories of the time that Sailor Dark had described?

Red. So much red. It was on her body, in her hair, in the skies. It was the color of blood, the color of fire, blood, and revenge. It was Amber's color - the only one that could match the shade of her soul that was constantly on fire. What other color could be full of so much hatred? None. Not even black, the shade of death and despair, could speak to Amber the way red did. Red fueled her and understood her. It held all of her pain and loneliness. She used red to her advantage, setting planets ablaze with her undeniable power and desire for bloodshed. Red helped her get revenge for all of those times she was turned away as a child, all of those people who didn't choose her because she wasn't good enough. Amber had red, and that was all she needed. She was Red. Sailor Red. And Sailor Dark understood her. Red and black were two colors meant for each other. No other colors were so full of pain.

Amber took steps forward, bringing herself closer to Sailor Dark. The images were beginning to fade, and Amber was brought back to reality. She could remember everything now. Her past as a sailor senshi, the sins she had committed. All by Sailor Dark's side. And she didn't regret any of it. Those lives the had ended and the civilizations she had destroyed - they all deserved it.

Glancing back at the group, Amber paused in her strides.

I wish others could see you the way I do. Just remember that if you do get the chance to make a friend, don't pass it up. You'd be surprised at what friendship can do."

"No," she whispered, shaking her head. This life was different. She wasn't alone. She had her parents and the people standing just a few feet away. Despite all of its cruelties and flaws, this world was beautiful. All of the worlds she had destroyed in the past were beautiful, and that was why she hated them. But Earth? Earth was different. Earth showed her kindness and opportunities. Amber's problem was that she hadn't realized it.

Holding her necklace in her hand, Red glared at Sailor Dark. Yes, red was the color of hatred and blood and revenge. But despite all of that, red was the color of love. There was no way Amber was going to let anyone take that away from her.

Violet/ Sailor Purple Calcite

Sailor P was jerked out of her memories by Sailor Dark's yell, and they faded away liek they hadn't even existed. Maybe they didn't, bu there was no way to tell. And maybe she was evil in her past, but that was then and this was now. The blast forced her to her knees, but Sailor P held her ground. A feeling of calm swept over her, and she glanced at Sailor Grey. They could do this together, right?

An image of a much happier looking girl flashed in her head, another senshi in orange. But who was she, and how was she connected to this girl in front of them?

"No, that's enough for you!" Sailor P yelled. "Who cares what we did in the past if we can still choose what to do now? And I choose to fight you!" Her tiara gem glowed brightly and her eyes did the same as she held out a hand. The shadows around her shot forward, and then peeled off the ground to become solid objects. they combined to form a large fist of shadow, rocketing towards Sailor Dark.

May/ Pink Calcite


She had to do something. Searching within herself, she felt her power within. How could she use it to attack? So far the only thing she had been able to do was use some sort of calming waves, which really hadn't been all that effective the first time. 

It may not be effective on her, but what about the others? she thought. They needed to be calm and not assaulted by their previous memories in order to win. 

Using her powers, Sailor Pink sent out soft pink calming waves to everyone, directing a few extra to Sailor Dark hoping they would work. 

Honey heard someone call out in the distance and then the memories faded away. One last memory flashed in her mind, of a senshi in orange, before she felt the energy crash against her.  Digging her feet into the ground she looked up to see Sailor Dark.  She glanced around at the others as they made their choice, whatever the past had been they were choosing a different path now.  Lastly she glanced to Taric, and her desire to protect surged.  It didn't matter what she had done in the past, her desire had remained the same, she would protect her companions.  

As the others began to move, Sailor Dark let out another wave of energy.  Alright let's do this! Honey began to run towards Sailor Dark, barrel rolling and jumping over fallen limbs.  She felt energy in in voice as she called out to Sailor Dark, "Didn't I tell you that wearing orange and black is tacky?!"

Kari/Sailor Stellar Beam Calcite

Even if she did bad things in the past, Sailor Stellar Beam Calcite realized that it didn’t matter anymore. She didn’t live in the past, she lived in the here and now and she always helped the others – as Kari and as Stellar Beam. She had to forget the past and move on. Starting with the defeat of Sailor Dark.
 
Stellar Beam started running, ready to attack the Dark Senshi but suddenly saw another image appearing in front of her: An image with an orange senshi, smiling at her. Could it be?, Stellar Beam wondered, uncertain as she saw the similarities to Sailor Dark. Could she be…the real identity of Sailor Dark?
 
Gradually she slowed down and eventually stood still. Should she really attack her? All of a sudden she didn’t want to fight her anymore – the thought she could hurt an ally was too terrible.
 
Insecurely she turned around to her teammates, watching what they would do.

Leon/Knight of Ice

The memory of happy looking Orange senshi flashed through Ice's mind. Before he could think about a wave of energy was heading toward. He quickly dodge and it looked back at Sailor Dark. The two looked very similar. Were they somehow connected? Before he could think more about it, Dark sent out another wave of energy. This was getting annoying.

Ice dodge once again and then made a trail of ice in front of him. He slid down it heading toward Dark. Like the others he was going to fight back. Maybe if they knocked her out they could get to the bottom of this. Ice then formed a huge snowball in his hands. He then chucked at her and slid away from her.

Strengthening his epiphany, an image of someone he felt he recognized, dressed in orange and smiling before destruction, flickered through his thoughts just before they were hit with wave after wave of energy - one of pain, one of peace, another of pain, one of calm - and he wondered briefly, as Alex taunted Sailor Dark and Ice threw a snowball at her - if he could spread his healing powers as they had spread their abilities. 

He concentrated on staying calm, using Grey and Pink's powers to help him focus, and willed energy through him and out through his gem, spreading around him, absorbing into everyone who was near and taking their pain away. Healing energy followed Pink's calm, gently melting away the pain from Dark's attacks.


He kept one eye on Alex, ready to back her up if needed, and thought back on that image they had caught of the orange senshi with the smile that he had felt connected to. The explosion - what had that been? It was different from the explosion at the club; and that girl was definitely not Sailor Dark, but did look similar to the original girl that Ice had bumped into untransformed...

Sailor Dark heard someone call out to her, someone tell her she was tack. "You witch!" She shouted between cringed teeth as she saw Honey racing towards her. Before she could conjur another attack, the dark haired ice Knight also began heading towards her.

"Enough!" She shouted. Her hands glowed as she raises them in front of her. Honey instantly began choking like she did St the club, and the Knight of Ice lost control of the ice he created as the shards turned and hit him.

"Sailor Orange was weak and pathetic! You will worship me!" This was the first time a Sailor Orange was mentioned.
