All for One, One for All

By Wendy Olson

 

It has been a few days since Sailor Libra and Sailor Scorpio were changed into their true constellation forms. The four musketeers were back at school. Just a reminder they are Cleo, Kim, Shelly and Noel. We decided to try Virgo’s power on the animals. Since her power has many uses we thought it couldn’t hurt to try it.

The four, Benny, Wicca and I were all in the stalls waiting for the others. "They are way late. I think we should try it without them." Cleo said.

Noel shook her head yes and then yelled, "Sailor Virgo Make-Up!" She then became her sailor form. She smiled at us and then tried her power. "Virgo Pure Light." Taupe colored light surround the animals. Nothing happened.

"It was worth a shot Virgo." Shelly said. Sailor Virgo seemed truly saddened by this. Cleo patted Bootes on the head. The other animals had a look of sadness in their eyes.

"Well, what do we do now? We can’t leave our mates like this." Kim argued.

"Yeah, and imagine what you’re going to be Kim." Benny joked.

"A centaur. I wonder if that means I will still be able to use my powers?" Pondered Kim.

"Don’t even worry about it. No one else is going to become animals. Not as long as Sailor Taurus is around!" Cleo yelled.

"Really?" a voice asked. We turned around and saw a pig. It was more like a half-pig half-man. It was the size of a man and was on two legs. The pig-man was wearing a Greek uniform. It also had a wooden staff.

"Transform!" Wicca and I yelled.

"Sailor Taurus Make-Up!" Cleo called.

"Sailor Cancer Make-Up!" Shelly followed.

Lastly Kim yelled, "Sailor Sagittarius Make-Up!"

Benny also changed into his constellation form Auriga. He then called for his power, "Star Chariot!" A chariot made of stars came down and ran over the pig man. The pig man got back on his feet and became two.

"Animal Reveal!" One of the pig men called. Red smoke came from his staff. The smoke covered Auriga and turned him into a white and black paint stallion. Auriga whinnied and galloped away.

"Cancer Protective Shell!" Sailor Cancer used her power. The wall was in between the pig men and us.

Seeing this the pig men ran away laughing. "What do we do?" asked Virgo.

"They might go after Wendy, Mindy and Kelly. I guess we better stop them!" I yelled. The girls, Wicca and I left the protection of the Shell and went after the pig men. They ran off to the park.

Once we made it to the park the pig men stopped. They laughed some more. Black smoke covered them and then they were gone. Soon the woman was back. "How did you like my pets?" she asked evilly.

"Taurus Charging Bull!" Sailor Taurus yelled. The green bull took off for the target. It stopped in front of the woman. She petted it’s head and laughed. The bull then charged after Taurus.

"Out of the way!" yelled Wicca. Taurus got out of the way just in time.

"I am the controller of beasts! Silly sailors, you can’t use animals on me." The woman laughed.

"Stop with the laughing. It is getting very annoying!" yelled Sagittarius.

The woman stopped and then looked very upset. "Fine! Starry Truth!"

Once again red smoke came from her staff. The smoke covered the sailors. Just like the others they first changed to have Greek dresses in their power colors. The symbols appeared on their foreheads. Lastly came the star crystals.

Virgo next appeared to have a stalk of wheat in her hand. Cancer then became a silver snow crab who had the crystals and the forehead symbol. Taurus became a tan dairy cow. The cow also had crystals and the forehead symbol.

In front of Sagittarius appeared a set of stars. The stars formed a centaur. His horse half is black with a white tail. His human skin is the also a dark color. His hair is very long and white. He also had star crystals. He looked at Sailor Sagittarius and said, "Am I too late?"

She nodded her head yes as she began to change. Her sailor uniform reappeared, but instead of a skirt and legs Sagittarius had a horse body. It was navy blue color like her skirt would be. The tail is the same color as her hair and it has two small braids in it. Her hooves are purple like her bows.

"Sagittarius Sagitta Crossbow!" she could still use her power. The star arrow headed for the woman but it was too late. Black smoke was all the arrow went through.

Sailor Virgo was once again in her sailor suit. "Who are you?" I asked the centaur.

"I’m Centaurus. I was once Sagittarius’ protector. That was until she became a sailor. I was no longer needed. I decided to stay in the heavens until she needed me again. I was too late." Centaurus explained.

Just then Sailors Gemini and Sailor Aquarius came running to us. "Are we too late?" questioned Aquarius.

"Uh, yeah." Mindy said looking at us.

"Without Bootes to bring you here how did you get down?" asked Wicca.

"I am not a beast or a man. I have the thoughts and feelings of a man. This sets me apart from the other constellations beasts. I can come and go as I please. Now I have a question for you. Where is Princess Andromeda? She could fix all of you." Centaurus asked.

"No one has seen her in weeks." Wicca told him.

"Do you know who that woman was?" I asked him.

"She was a sorceress named Circe. She can control animals and turn people into them. I guess you figured out that much. That really is all I know about her. I wonder why she is bothering you?" Centaurus explained.

Sagittarius walked over to Centaurus and asked him, "You won’t leave will you? I need help being a centaur." She touched his arm. He seemed startled by her. He wouldn’t look her in the eye.

"Yes, I will stay and help you." Centaurus told her head bowed.

I noticed Wendy looking all over. She seemed very agitated. "Hey, where is Perseus?" asked Wendy. Hercules was next to Mindy. Everyone looked around but none could see the fox.
