The Third of the Zodiac Senshi
By Wendy Olson
This was the first Sailor meeting with Sailor Leo. Sailor Leo is very smart and has a lot of questions. "Tell me everything that you know." Esa said. We were in our dorm room two days after Sailor Leo was awakened.
"Queen Cassiopeia has the Constellation Alliance after us. They seem to want something called the Horoscope Stone. So far it has only been Orion who has attacked us. Perseus on the other hand, we don’t know who he is really working for. He claims that he doesn’t like the Queen’s politics and he wants to help us. I still think it could be a trick." I explained.
"What about Sailor Moon and the other planetary sailors?" Esa asked. I guess even in Kenya they’ve heard of Sailor Moon and her Senshi.
"This is a war made by stars for stars. It isn’t their concern. If we get stuck maybe will ask for their help." I stated.
"Now we just need to find the rest of the Zodiac senshi. Perseus also said that the Horoscope Stone will come to us once we find the rest." Continued Mindy.
"Do you think it has to do with our names? My name means lion and your name means two. Do you know of anyone who has a name like a zodiac sign?" Esa questioned.
"I know a girl in my art class whose name is Bella Scorpius. She is a painter from Italy. That is something like Scorpion, right?" asked Mindy.
"You have that class now don’t you? You could watch her." Wendy told Mindy.
"Good idea. I want to check that blonde boy in your class Esa. He rubbed me the wrong way." I said.
"You mean Hunter Ryan? Well, I have a study meeting in an hour. Wendy would you like to go?" Esa asked.
"Sure. I need to write a song for a class, this way maybe I’ll get it done. Mojo you can come too." Wendy agreed.
"All right, we all know what we are doing, correct?" I questioned. The girls shook their heads in agreement.
The next hour Mindy went to her class to watch Bella. The rest of us went to the study meeting. I had to go in Wendy’s backpack, how embarrassing. The meeting was in the library. Once there, there was the blonde boy Hunter, the other boy Percy and a girl I didn’t know.
"Hi, Esa!" Percy said as Esa and Wendy approached.
"Hi. I hope it is okay that I brought my friend Wendy Duet with me." Esa told them as the two girls sat down.
"Of course. Wendy, I’m Percy Star, this is Hunter Ryan and this is Annie Pulsar." He pointed to the boy and girl sitting next to them. The girl Annie has brown hair. I saw that out of a hole in Wendy’s backpack. Wendy then put the backpack and me under the table. From there I could hear everything.
"This should be fun!" Annie sounded very excited to study. I don’t know why.
The group studied for about an hour. I could tell by Wendy’s voice that she was very bored, but she relieved that by flirting with Percy. They started talking about England. That is where he is from and Wendy has been obsessed with that country for a very long time. I’m sure she didn’t even get to writing her song.
After another hour Hunter’s watch started to beep. "I’m sorry, but I must go." He said as he got his books together.
"It was nice meeting you." Wendy told him as he left.
This was my chance to follow him. I got out of the backpack and followed close behind. We didn’t get very far until he came to where Mindy’s class was. Mindy was just leaving with Bella. Bella has long light brown hair that is in a tight spiral perm. She also has burgundy eyes and tan skin.
Hunter followed them to the parking lot. Once there he turned into Orion. I knew that it was him!
"Girls, Orion is in the parking lot with Mindy and Bella. Mindy can’t transform without Wendy." I yelled into the communicator.
"Look only half a sailor! Well, well, what will you do now!" Orion laughed.
A girl appeared next to him. She was dressed in a white ancient Greek dress. Her hair was brown and up in a bun. She too had crystals on her body. "Orion, mother said that if you don’t finish the job this time you’re done for. You are pathetic, you don’t even fight for yourself." She started to laugh.
"Be quiet Andromeda! The Queen gave me this job and I’ll finish it!" He yelled at her.
"Who are you? What is going on?" questioned Bella.
"Don’t worry help is on the way." Mindy comforted her.
"Oh yeah! Star Meteor!" Orion yelled. The sparks from his belt produced a huge meteor that crashed and hit the two girls.
As Bella fell down I saw the Scorpio symbol on her forehead. I ran to her and gave her a burgundy star. "Use this and say ‘Sailor Scorpio Make-Up’" I told her. Bella was in a daze but she shook her head yes.
"Sailor Scorpio Make-Up!" she stood and yelled. There was a bright light and soon she was Sailor Scorpio. Her uniform was burgundy with black bows. Her shoes were burgundy pumps.
"No!" Orion yelled and Andromeda laughed at him.
Sailor Leo came running with Wendy. Wendy and Mindy put their two stars together and said, "Sailors Gemini Make-Up!" Then they transformed.
"Now you have all of us to fight!" Sailor Leo shouted.
"Twin Singing Harmony!" Sailors Gemini said. Their power knocked Orion to the ground.
"Scorpio Sonic Sting!" shouted Sailor Scorpio. This power was a like a giant scorpion tail that caused a sonic blast. Orion was down for the count.
As Sailor Leo prepared to fight I said, "No more we don’t kill like they do!"
"That’s right we do. Orion you didn’t stop them so mother said I could stop you! Star Dust!" Andromeda yelled. Showers of sparks were produced from her fingers. As they landed on Orion his crystals became bright red. He howled in pain and soon he was only stars. The stars then disappeared. "See you! Kiss, Kiss!" Andromeda said, as she was disappearing.
"Is everyone okay?" asked Mindy.
"Yep!" Sailor Leo and Wendy said together.
"What has happened? A talking cat? Sailors? I’m confused." Sailor Scorpio said looking around at everyone.
"They’ll fill you in. Good work Sailors. I’m proud of you." Perseus said. He was standing on a car and then he was gone.
"Who was that?" Sailor Scorpio was still lost.
"My boyfriend." Mindy said.
"You can have him. I have now found a guy that is more real than Perseus." Wendy told Mindy.
"Who?" Mindy asked.
"Percy Star." Swooned Wendy.
"Good, now that’s over!" I said happily.
