The Sixth of the Zodiac Senshi
By Wendy Olson
Hi, my name is Mojo. I am a black longhaired guide cat. I’ve been with my girls, Mindy and Wendy Duet, since I was a kitten. Just recently they became Sailors Gemini. We have also found Sailor Leo Esa Simba from Kenya, Sailor Scorpio Bella Scorpius from Italy, Sailor Taurus Cleo Hathor from Egypt and Sailor Cancer Shelly Snow from Australia. Our fight is with the Constellation Alliance. The twins are dating Hank and Percy Star, just in case you wanted to know. Percy is a writer and all I know about Hank is he is a wonderful fencer. They are from England.
I have discovered that Shelly really is the youngest of the senshi so far. Shelly is only 19. Today I am in Shelly’s dorm room. Shelly has all kinds of surfing stuff on her walls. She also has a lot of things Australian. Shelly hasn’t taken to being a sailor very well. She really is very shy even with me. Shelly mostly likes having the built in friends, I can tell.
"Are you sure it is me?" Shelly Questioned.
"Of course it is! You are Sailor Cancer." As I spoke I jumped into her lap.
"But I’m not really any good at anything. I can swim okay and I do pretty well at school, but I don’t think that qualifies me as a sailor senshi." She petted me as she spoke. Shelly wasn’t like Bella, she didn’t think she deserved to be a sailor.
"You are very good at swimming. I was watching! You definitely deserve to be a sailor! Don’t worry about it!" when I was done talking Esa and Bella burst into the room.
"Hey Shelly, we wanted to know if you would like to go with us to workout? Mindy and Wendy are on a double date and Cleo is studding for an exam." Esa said.
"It should be fun. The teacher is Rosa Balanza from Spain. She is a really good dancer and her workout is a sort of Flamenco dance. She is our age so it won’t feel awkward." Bella continued.
I looked at Shelly and tried to give a look of encouragement. "I’ll go only if Mojo goes too." Shelly finally said.
"I’m a cat I don’t have to workout." I told her. Shelly gave me a pouty lip, which I have seen my Gemini girls give many times before. "Oh, all right!" I caved.
I went this time on Shelly shoulders; I was very tired of riding in a backpack. Backpacks are very stuffy. People gave us some odd looks but the girls didn’t mind. Once we got to the gym that the dance was in I jumped from Shelly shoulders. I watched from the corner of the room. The girls that were working out didn’t seem to mind me there.
Rosa Balanza has dark brown hair in a bun with a red rose behind her left ear. She also has blue eyes and light brown skin. All of the girls were wearing workout clothes. Once they started to workout I took a catnap. I really needed to catch up on these. Since the mission I have missed out on my sleep.
The girls worked out for about forty-five minutes. All of them seemed to catch on to the dancing workout quite well. After it was over all of the other girls left except Rosa. She came over to me and said, "What a pretty gato! Is he yours?" she asked Shelly and the two others.
"Well, no. He is my friend’s cat. His name is Mojo." Shelly told her.
Rosa picked me up and hugged me. She is very warm. She was also very sweaty from the workout. I licked her face and I saw the Libra symbol on her forehead. I was not expecting it. Andromeda was no where in sight.
I gave her a rose colored star broach. "What is this gato. It is mucho bonita." She said.
"So you found one before me! Oh well." It was Andromeda. She had just walked though the door.
All of the girls, except Rosa, transformed. They knew if I gave Rosa a star that meant she was a sailor.
"All right, Aquila come!" Andromeda yelled.
The giant eagle from the dance came down from the heavens again. "Girls, in the gym, we’re being attacked." I yelled into my communicator.
"Okay, Mojo!" the rest of the girls responded.
"Cancer Protective Shell!" Sailor Cancer yelled. The wall came before the eagle had time to do anything. The bad thing was the wall was between the sailors and Rosa. She was left unprotected.
"Say ‘Sailor Libra Make-Up!" I yelled from behind the wall.
"Sailor Libra Make-Up!" Rosa yelled. Rosa became surrounded by light and soon she was Sailor Libra. Her uniform was rose with blue bows. Her shoes were rose Mary Jane’s.
"Libra Justice Scales!" Libra yelled. The power seemed to weigh how evil the eagle was. When it was done a bunch of weights fell from the sky onto the bird. The bird must have not been too evil because it didn’t hurt the eagle very much.
"Well, that was a neat power!" Andromeda said. Then Sailors Gemini and Sailor Taurus ran into the gym.
The girls prepared to use their powers when the eagle sprayed lightening at them and they were knocked to the ground. Soon Cancer’s wall started to diminish. "Well, I think I’m done here! Kiss, Kiss!" Andromeda once again jumped on the eagle’s back and rode away.
"Good job girls! You have just found number six, that means you are halfway to your goal!" it was Perseus. He was standing in the doorway.
As he began to leave I asked, "I just have one question, how does the Constellation Alliance always know who is going to awaken?"
"That is a good question. You see, you all have corresponding constellations; these are the stars that give you power. Queen Cassiopeia can read them and they tell her who will be next. Then she sends a lackey to awaken you. That is all I can tell you." Perseus then disappeared in a cloud of stardust.
"Who are all of you?" questioned Sailor Libra once Perseus left.
"We are the sailors of the zodiac. You are one of us! We fight for love and justice!" Wendy told her.
"Hey, don’t rip off Sailor Moon’s saying!" Mindy argued with her.
"I’m Mojo I will help you along the way. We are looking for all twelve of the zodiac sailors and to stop the Constellation Alliance. They are after the Horoscope Stone. A powerful weapon, I think." I explained.
"Oh, gato you can talk…" Rosa went on in Spanish and I really don’t speak that language.
