Episode 2, Dark Aurora

Odoriko decided to take a walk in the park that Saturday morning to clear her head. She couldn�t rid her mind of the swirling thoughts of the fight that took place the other day.

Hoshi-chan is another Senshi...and now we�re up against that witch Reiki!

She then heard faint sobbing. She looked ahead.

A shy, lonely girl sat on a bench in the park, fingering a bluish-purple crystal on a silver chain around her neck. Her hair was the color of a fresh carrot, and hung very short, the longest clump reaching the back of her head at her jawline. She wore all black.

Vapor... a blue fox-like creature with a mermaids� finned tail jumped up onto the bench and sat next to her.

Odoriko approached her.

�Are you okay?�

The girl jumped and turned around to face her. Her eyes were a cold, dark brown and were teary.

�What�s wrong?� Odoriko asked again. �Why are you crying?�

�I-It�s nothing,� the girl shakily said, standing up.

Odoriko glanced down at the nervous blue creature next to her.

�Is this a friend of yours?� she asked her. �It�s cute!�

The girl looked at her with surprise.

�You...you�re not saying that it�s wierd, repulsive, or evil?�

�What?! No! It�s adorable!� Odoriko scratched the creature�s head in a playful manner, grinning. �Why would I say something like that?!�

The girl glimpsed down at the ground and sighed.

�That�s what a lot of people say...about it and me.�

�What?! That�s just plain terrible!� Odoriko exclaimed. �How can anyone judge someone like that?!�

�I guess that�s what they seem to do best,� she replied with a slight snicker.

�What�s your name? I�m Odoriko Giragirano.�

�I�m Aisu Kaminari, and my friend here is Miki.�

Odoriko smiled at Aisu, which caused her to smirk slightly herself.

�I should go now,� she and Miki began to walk in the opposite direction and turned back. �I hope to see you again!�

The two vanished into the distance within the grove of cherry blossom trees, leaving a strange aura that Odoriko instantly picked up.

Those two.. she thought. ...they have some sort of dark aura...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

�Odoriko-chan!� she turned around to see a perky Hoshi running down the sidewalk to catch up to her later that day. �What�s up?�

�Oh..I met someone this morning.�

�Really?�

�Yeah...her name was Aisu...but she seems to have a strange aura..like an enemy�s.�

�Or maybe she�s one of us!�

Odoriko smiled.

�Yeah, maybe!�

A wave of evil aura overtook them. The presence of evil. And then there was a very loud, booming roar.

�Great, that Reiki-baka sent daimon after us!� Hoshi muttered. �Let�s transform!�

�Nexus Giragira, Henshin!�

�Vega Starlight, Henshin!�

Once the two�s henshin were complete, they followed the aura back into the park, where they were overcome by a thick light-blue aurora.

�What is it?!� Sailor Nexus squinted her eyes, hoping to see better.

A shadow emerged. A human�s. A hand was outstreched right in their direction and a wave of dark energy hit them.

�Vega Loving Heart Attack!� Sailor Vega�s heart attack managed to fend off most of the energy.

�Heh...that�s the best you can do?!� a familiar voice cackled.

Reiki. So it wasn�t a human�s shadow after all!

�Not you again!� Vega shouted at the enemy.

The haze cleared to fully reveal the wicked woman. �Can you do anything better than that?!�

Another shadow emerged, but was not of a human at all. A giant dog-like creature, and the mist was generated from its body.

You haven�t asked me yet! a strange voice echoed through their minds. With the blessings of the planet of silence, Saturn, I am Suicune Three Thousand, the Pok�mon of Aurora and Death! Prepare to be thrown back into the Ice Age! Suicune Icy Wind!

The temperature around them plummeted as the creature blew a chilly wind of ice that seemed to freeze the blue aurora around it. Though it certainly caused a chill to run up the two Senshis� spines, it bounced right off Reiki.

�Try doing something better than that!� she hurled a powerful wave of dark energy at the creature, and obviously hurt it.

After Reiki�s attack, the air temperature had risen quickly, and the mist cloud was finally cleared. It revealed the blue and white animal, Suicune, which stood at least a half-foot taller than Vega and Nexus. It had a flowing purple and light blue mane, and glowered at the enemy with cold dark brown eyes. But the strangest feature was the very unusual-shaped turquoise crystal that topped its head.

Sailor Nexus recognized that same dark aura that engulfed her when she was around Aisu. Could this creature be her?

She scowled at Reiki. �Haven�t you ever heard of the Endangered Species act?! We are not going to let you hurt such a beautiful animal, this is between you and the Dimension Senshi! Nexus Giragira Chain!�

She formed a chain of Giragira Dust and wrapped it around Reiki to hold her in place, and shouted at Vega, �Attack, now!�

�Vega Circular Motion!� Vega threw the Light Staff into the air, and a sphere of light blasted from the top and struck the enemy.

Reiki vanished out of Nexus� chain, shrieking, �This won�t be the last of me! I�ll be back to destroy you all!!�

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

That was cool! Suicune walked over to the duo after the vile woman had disappeared. I�ve never seen any Senshi like you before!

�I recognize your voice,� Sailor Nexus then commented. �Are you Aisu Kaminari?�

It gasped and looked at her in astonishment. O-Odoriko?!

�Wait a �sec, is this the �Aisu� you were talking about earlier?!� Vega broke in.

�Yeah!�

�Why didn�t you tell me that she was..a..thing?!�

She didn�t know! Suicune snickered. I do have a human form, ya know!

The trio shared a good laugh.

So..we found the third Dimension Senshi.. Sailor Vega thought to herself with a grin. And it just happens to be a creature I�ve never heard of! What are they gonna throw at us next?
