Hogosha looked at her friend warily, then agreed. They sat on the bed after Usagi grabbed her brush. "So how do you like living at Rei-chan's shrine," Usagi asked as she combed the mass of orangy hair. Usagi noticed the extreme redness of her locks had dulled into a calmer orange since she left her life as Solaris.
"It's wonderful. So peaceful and pleasant there, that is, when Rei-san is not ordering poor Yuuichirou-kun around. It was really nice of her grandfather to let me stay." She smiled, then a look of sadness crossed her face. "It has an air about it that helps me think." Sensing that she was troubled, Usagi inquired, "How are you feeling, Hogosha-chan?" "I'm doing okay, except I can't seem to remember much of anything. But I do feel that I have done a great wrong." "Don't worry. I'm sure it wasn't that bad," Usagi reassured. ****************** In the Eclipsed Sun Kingdom, Dionysus sat on his throne. He listened to his children explain how they had removed their liability by killing their sister. The king did not scold them as they had expected, but commended the twins on a job well done. He had not concieved the thought that awakening her would be a hinderance to their plans until now. Underneath his mask, Alpha Centauri's face blanched. Not wanting to show his heart-break, he excused himself. He brushed past a blonde-haired man who stood outside the throne room doors. The man wore similar attire as Alpha Centauri, marking him as a servant of the king. He numbly acknowledged his comrade, then continued on his way. Dionysus gestured for the twins to come closer. They moved toward him carefully and the old man opened his left hand. An image of a gold sphere-shaped crystal manifested above it. "Now has come the time for you to begin a search." Both gasped at the same time. "The Golden Aura?" The image faded as the king answered, "Yes, the Golden Aura. With it we could bring forth our Great Ruler, Erebus-sama's power and take complete control of this star and the world known as Earth. I want you to find it." Finally, the man, who had been listening, entered the room. He stepped behind Polaris. Placing his hand on her shoulder he said, "I know you will be great on this mission." Polaris whirled around to find the source of the familiar voice. Even with a smile, his face appeared to be cold, but she took no notice. "Sirius-sama, you've returned!" "Yes, and I bear good news, my king." He bowed to Dionysus, who nodded for Sirius to proceed. "I have located a crystal that just might be the one you are searching for. It's here." A holograph appeared as he waved his hand. It showed the picture of a jewelry shop. The sign on the front read 'OSA*P Jewelry'. The twins smiled at each other, then disappeared. After they were gone, Sirius spoke. "Do you think it is wise to let them handle this mission?" The king's eyes sparked with anger. "You overstep your bounds, Sirius. You dare to question the king's judgment!?" "Of-f course not..." Sirius sputtered, "Forgive me." ****************** Usagi crossed her arms and stared at Hogosha. She could not help but smile at her work. The blond girl led her friend to the dresser mirror. Hogosha laughed when she saw her hair was a replica of Usagi's own style. "Now that's too much," she said as she loosened the two odango, creating loops instead of balls, "I like that better." Usagi just shrugged. She wasn't disappointed. "Let's go and get some ice cream, so we can show off your new hair style." "Alright, that sounds great." ****************** They left the house and though their destination had originally been set for the Crown Fruit Parlor, half way there Usagi decided she wanted to take Hogosha some place else. "Hey, while we're out why don't we go to Naru-chan's? We can invite her to go along with us." "Okay, sure," Hogosha sighed. She was amazed at how many thoughts must run through the blond's head during the course of a day. Though she felt happy in finding new friends, she still felt unconfortable around them. Being alone felt more natural to her. They heard a loud scream as they neared the jewelry shop. "Oh no!" Usagi gasped, "Naru-chan! Are they being robbed?"
She and Hogosha entered the shop to discover Naru and her mother lying unconscious on the floor. Polaris drained energy from customers as Vega rummaged through the many cases of jewelry. He looked up from his search to find a surprising sight standing in the door way. "No! It can't be! But, we killed you!" Vega screamed in disbelief as he recognizing Hogosha. Usagi jumped in front of Hogosha as a beam of energy shot from his hand. Before it could hit, Hogosha pushed her out of the way and took the attack full on though she did not know why she was being so courageous. She screamed as the beam struck her body and collapsed, wondering what was happening. Usagi saw Polaris charging towards her. She tried to throw a punch, but was instead knocked through the exit doors. Usagi rubbed her sore bottom, then declaired loudly, "Enough of this, I need Sailor Moon." The words floated into the store, heard only by Hogosha. Darkness began to descend on her as she thought, "But where is she when we need her?" Outside, Usagi held up her transformation brooch. "Moon Cosmic Power, MAKE UP!" Sailor Moon stood in the doors of the OSA*P, her Cutie Moon Rod held high. "I am the pretty suited sailor soldier who fights for love and justice, Sailor Moon! In the name of the moon I will punish you!" "I don't think so!" Polaris interjected. She rushed into Sailor Moon, knocking them both back out the door. Vega had returned to his search, but growled in disappointment when he realized the Golden Aura was not there. Forgetting about Hogosha, he left to join his twin sister in the fight. ****************** Consciousness slowly came back to Hogosha. She looked around out the exit doors, groggily. Something tugged at her memory as she watched Sailor Moon fight. Horror- struck, she saw Sailor Moon thrown to the ground. "Sailor Moon!" she screamed. Then, like a light going on in her head, a piece of her puzzle fell into place. "No... Usagi!" A circle glowed on Hogosha's forehead. With a blinding flash of light a golden stick formed in front of her. In a trance, she reached out to it, then once in her hand its light ceased. She stood to her feet, holding the stick high above her head. A haunting voice called out to her. "...you must protect the princess. Call out the words of your destiny." "Golden Aura Power, MAKE UP!!" Hogosha brought the stick to her chest. An odd heat grew in her chest as she curled into a fetal position and her clothes vanished. Suddenly, she threw her arms and legs open. Yellow ribbon moved over each limb, leaving part of her outfit where ever it went. Transformation finished, Hogosha found herself dressed in a sleeveless sailor soldier suit of crimson, yellow, and purple. The stick she had brought to her chest had become a heart shaped broach with purple wings on either side. From out of nowhere she heard the unearthly voice call, "...the princess needs you now... protect her..." ****************** The new soldier ran outside to see Sailor Moon cornered by the twins. Before they could bring any more harm against her, a commanding voice shouted at them, "STOP!" The two immediately snapped their heads in the direction of the voice. Annoyed, they found a figure standing in front of the OSA*P Jewelry shop. Their voices blended together as they asked, "Who are you?" "I.. I am..." "Call the words of your destiny," echoed in her ears. "I am Sailor Sun, sworn to defend all that are innocent. In the name of the Sun, I will see that you no longer use it's golden light for evil." "Yeah right!" Polaris scoffed. She reached for her brother's hand. Their channeled energy formed around joined hands. Blue light pulsed in their eyes. Using the moment to attack, Sailor Moon held up her weapon. "Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" It was repelled, and shot back at her. Sailor Moon moved quickly to avoid being hit. Her mouth gaped open in shock. Sailor Sun noticed the twins were now focusing their attack on her comrade. She held out her arms in a prayer like form, pleading, "Please, great star of light, lend me your strength so that I may protect our princess." She raised her arms above her head, then spun around once. When the spin completed she brought her arms down in front of her. "SUN BURST!" A ray of light shot from her hands knocking the twins from their attack formation. They dropped to the ground. Rising back to her feet, Polaris charged at the sailor soldier. Sailor Sun readied herself for the blow, but Sailor Moon darted in and knock Polaris out of the way. The enraged villain was about to attack again when she heard Vega over her anger. "We've got to go." She glared at the girls. "Next time," was all she said before the twins disappeared. Sailor Sun placed her hand on Sailor Moon's shoulder. "You did well, princess. Thank you. We will meet again, for I will always be there to protect you." "But, where have you come from? Why are you here now?" Sailor Moon questioned. "I have always been here. I was but in the shadows. An eclipsed figure, alone watching over you from where you never had to look. You have always looked towards the goodness of the light." Sailor Sun jumped to the top of the building. The sun shining behind her figure partially blinded Sailor Moon as she looked on at her fellow soldier. The young woman's words drifted down to her, "Keep looking towards that light, never let the darkness consume you... else it will consume us all..." Then she was gone. The advice churned in Sailor Moon's head as she thought of how easily the twins fended off her attack. She stood there for several minutes, then she remembered she had forgotten Hogosha and Naru. She transformed back and hurried into the OSA*P. She found Hogosha sitting on the floor rubbing her head. "Hogosha-chan, are you alright?" Usagi knelt beside her. "I think so. You should check if your friend is okay." Usagi went over to Naru and her mother. Both were a little disoriented, but unharmed. Hogosha soon joined them. "Hey, Naru-chan. I would like you to meet someone..." Usagi grinned. ****************** In the Eclipsed Sun Kingdom, the twins hung their heads low as they accepted the reprimanding of their father and leader. Polaris eventually became fed up as his speech lasted too long and yelled out impulsively, "Father, it wasn't our fault! We were carrying out your orders and Solaris was there, but she isn't Solaris anymore." Dionysus stopped her, "You aren't making any sense." "What she means is that Solaris is human and has no more powers," Vega explained. "Then how did she defeat you?" "She didn't. It was the Sailor Soldier, Sailor Moon and someone new, from the sun," Polaris said. "Impossible," the king interjected. "We are the only inhabitants on this star." "She called herself Sailor Sun and was trying to protect some princess," Vega replied. Dionysus rubbed his chin in contemplation. "We must look into this matter more before we proceed with our plans." In the another area of the throne room, Alpha Centauri stood next to Sirius, listening. "A soldier to protect the princess?" He wonder to himself, "And Solaris is alive as a human?" End Episode 06.
