Hi everyone. This is part 7 of other outers. As always
I don't own sailor moon but this story is mine. This
story is rated PG. If you have any comments or questions
email me at shinjichan@hotmail.com if you would like to see
what Alison, Erica, or Ryoko look like please visit my personal
fan fiction site at www.geocities.com/missmichirukaio to see the
pics I have drawn for other outers and the other fan fics I've
written. Also in a week or so I will be animating Erica's x
invisibility and if that goes well Alison's attack then Ryoko's.

	A short brown haired girl in a satin yellow dress with
elbow length white gloves stands at a large French window.
The girl is princess Erica of planet X.  Erica occasionally
itches her back where two ribbons forms a bow; she does not
like the bow.  Erica's family is the Royal family that protects
the out most edges of the solar system; her parents are the grand
Duke and Duchess. Her family has guarded the outer wall for 2,000
years.  Erica has been trained to protect the people of her planet
and she know she must also protect the solar system from any on
coming attacks since planet X will be the first to be attacked;
that is not very likely since this is the silver millennium and
all the solar system is at peace.
	What Erica doesn't know is that this great peace is coming
to an end and so will her life. All Erica knows today will be very
special.
	Erica looks out a window and sighs. Erica spins around as
she hears footsteps coming from behind.  The footsteps are coming
from her best friend Minako princess of Venus.
	"Minako!" Erica exclaims and hugs her friend, "I'm so happy
you could make it!"
	 Minako steps away from the hug and agrees, "Me too." The two
girls stand and talk as the look out the window.  Minako points to
something she spots in the sky, "Look!"
Minako points out. Right as Minako pointed the object out a loud
explosion went off some where in the palace courtyard.  Guards start
to rush about the palace's hallways. As all the calamity and the
confusion go on a captain of the guard runs up to the two princesses
and tells them that they must go with him and leave the palace and the
planet since Erica was now the new duchess of the planet on the death
of her father that occurred with the explosion.  Erica and Minako ran
with the guard to escape. As the three were about to turn the corner a
large piece of wall came crashing down and from the hole emerged a
hideous monster with red rancid skin. The monster lunged at Minako
but the guard jumped in front of Minako and saved her from death.
The girls ran from the monster to another hallway.
	"No!" Minako cried.
	"Come on!" Erica told here friend trying to get her away from
the monster, "We have to go!"
   "But...but he's dead." Minako said her voice shaking with fear.
	"Minako!" Erica said in her most determined voice, "this man
gave his life for you! We mustn't let his death be in vain." Minako
nodded then stood up and ran with Erica.  As the girls began to turn
the corner the same monster appeared.
	With no one but Minako around Erica took out her transformation
locket and raised it in the air.
	"You can't fight by your self!" Minako pleaded, "We can wait and
hide until re-enforcements get here!"
	"I can't do that...you're my best friend I have to save you. Plus
I'm now ruler of this planet and I must protect it." Minako look up at Erica
as she yelled out, "X prism power make up!" this was the first time she saw
Erica transforming. Immediately after Erica was transformed into
Sailor X she began her attack by saying, "X invisibility!"
The yellow glowing ball flew in to the monster's eyes rendering it blind and
a great deal of pain. The monster roared in pain and started to slash 
wherever
it heard noise. Minako let out and scream and the monster charged in her
direction Minako. Erica tripped the monster sending it to the floor.
Minako began to cry.  Erica ran to Minako and hugged her and told her,
"It'll be okay...I think I can destroy it."
	"But...but...your attack can destroy..." Minako said as tears
came cascading down her face,  "you haven't learned any attacks that can
destroy...your attacks create diversions." Erica smiled at Minako and 
thought
'I wonder if I could pull of one of mom's old attacks.' Erica stood in front
of Minako protecting her she began to think about the week before when her
mother had disappeared; she was most likely dead since she went off to see 
what
a disturbance in space was; this was the disturbance.  Erica started to 
think of
when her mother fist was teaching her first attack (X invisibility). After 
her
mother had thought her and she had gotten how to do the attack she showed 
her
daughter her favorite attack, which she would learn when she had her next
birthday. Her mother said she'd learn this when she got her star power 
upgrade.
Her mother began the attack by yelling out, "light slice penetration!"  
Erica's
mother touched her own locket that began to glow and a yellow glowing blade 
came
out which her mother threw at the target. Erica was very impressed by how 
her
mother's favorite attack.
	"When you are of age you will be able to do this." Erica's mother told her,
"This jewel in my locket is what gives me the power to do that attack.   One 
day when
you are of the age or if I pass away this jewel will transport if self to 
your locket
and you will be capable of my attack."
	Erica's memory ends and she thinks, 'it's only a week away from my 
birthday...
I can do this...what's a week?'
Erica took a deep breath and sighed. Erica began the attack; it went 
perfectly.
The monster was instantly destroyed. Erica couldn't believe her eyes.
	Sailor X then collapsed on the ground from exhaustion. Minako ran to Erica
and held Erica in her arms, "why did you do that?" Minako asked as she began 
to cry.
	"I had to." Erica weakly answered, "it's my duty as the new grand duchess 
to
protect the planets and peoples my kingdom surrounds and protects."
	"But you'll die now!" Minako blurted out and tears cascaded down her face.
	"Yes, I will die now...but I did my duty and save you...my friend. It's 
better
this way anyhow.  I don't think I would have lived much longer anyways. I 
guess you'll
just have to rely on the other outers for now..." and with that Erica grand 
duchess of
the planet X and sole protector of the outer most edge of the silver 
millennium died.
	"ERICA NO!" Erica burst out into a crying fit as Erica fell from her arms.
                             END OF DREAM

	Erica wakes up in a cold sweat on the floor.  Erica gasps for air and then
scrambles across the floor to the couch where Minako has fallen asleep on.  
Erica
shakes Minako away as she shakes.
	"Minako!" Erica says with a shaky voice.
	"Uh?" Minako says as she gradually wakes up, "what's wrong?"
	"I had the worse dream." Erica replies as she clams down, "it was a 
memory...
of the day I died in the silver millennium."  	Minako's eyes open wide with 
shock;
she can barely say, "I had that dream to..."
	"You did...I hate that dream I always wonder if you're okay after I die..."
Erica's voice trails off.
	"You don't know what happens?" Minako asks.  Erica shakes her head.
	"I can tell you...if it won't upset you." Minako offers.
Erica just smiles as a response.  Minako takes a breath and begins, "well
after you die I am forced to transform and fight of the remaining monsters.
I didn't have much luck with my crescent beam...it just wasn't power full 
enough...
I tried out my new attack...my love me chain. It worked I was finally able 
do my
newest attack." Minako pauses and sighs and then continues, "After all of 
the monsters
were dead I had to wait ten hours for the Plutonian guard to come to pick me 
up."
	"That's what happened?" Erica said and yet asked. Minako did not reply.  
Erica
hugged her friend.
	"I'm so happy we can be together again. I missed you."
Erica stated.
	"I'm happy too." Minako said.
