Artemis questioned. Sailor StarHealer nodded. "Hey, it's beautiful!" Super Sailor Venus commented with a smile. Sailor StarHealer blushed, then continued towards the pillar. So far, no monsters have appeared yet. The senshi gave each other a smile after the long walk from the palace to the Ruby Points. "..sugoii.." Super Sailor Venus stared up at the pillars in awe. She wondered what Uranus would feel that she didn't have a Crystal/Ruby Point of her own, but she had a PALACE of her own. The one she controlled at Uranus. Super Sailor Uranus said firmly, "Queen Kakyoku said that your Star Yell is the key to the Ruby Point, Healer. Do you know how to use it?" Sailor StarHealer hesitated for a moment, turned to the short haired senshi and said, "This is my first time. It might take a while for me to figure out how I can work this.." {The new attacking items contain a lot of energy..} "Where did that voice come from?" Artemis questioned, closing his eyes and straining to hear it again. "It's Queen Kakyoku's!" Sailor StarHealer gasped as she recognized it. The voice wasn't 'auditory', but Healer was sure that she heard it in her mind. How did was that possible? She didn't have time to figure it out. {If the enemy had access to it, Healer Energy would turn into a destructive energy.. If you have hold of it, Healer, you had 50% of all Kinmoku sei's energy combined..} "Queen Kakyoku, what shall I do? I don't know how to work my Star Yell..," Sailor StarHealer said outloud, hiding her frustration very well. {Don't speak to me out loud, Healer. Say it in your mind.} The silver haired Sailor Starlight became silent, then thought, [What shall I do?] {That is what you have to figure yourself, Healer.. It's your leg- endary weapon which came with you.. No one else knew how to work it except you.} [When is the enemy attacking?] Super Sailor Uranus thought, quest- ioning Queen Kakyoku in her mind. {I can feel its presence, I cannot waste time. I must warn Maker and Fighter before it's too late..} Super Sailor Venus thought, [Matte kudasai!] But it was too late. "..ah.." Sailor StarHealer dropped her neck towards her chest in despair. "It's no use..I don't even know what to do.." Artemis sighed, then frowned in despair. Suddenly, he noticed what was wrong and cried out, "Abunai (be careful), Healer!!!" "Huhn?" Then suddenly, the silver haired Sailor senshi was raised up high in the sky by some strange mechanism that had appeared underground and made its way up to the surface. By the neck. Sailor StarHealer struggled hard for breath. Super Sailor Uranus and Venus exclaimed, "Healer!!!" "A..aa.." The silver haired Sailor Starlight choked hard, her face slowly turning pale, then light bluish. She knew that she had no energy left to produce her Star Yell. At least no energy to hold it without dropping it. The machine which was holding Healer up by the neck slowly came up to the surface, then stayed there. Within a cloud of dust, two mysterious women appeared. They wore a black outfit, covered with stars, galaxies, planets, etc. Not wasting any other time (for Healer's sake), Super Sailor Uranus and Venus joined hands and concentrated. They closed their eyes and exclaimed in unison, "Space Turbulence Wink Chain Sword!" A tremendous energy headed towards the machine, breaking the arm that was holding Healer. Poor Sailor StarHealer fell onto the ground, followed by a loud crash of the machine's arm. The two other Sailor senshi hurried towards her and tried to free the mechanical hand that was holding Healer's neck. Finally, they freed it. Sailor StarHealer inhaled air into her lungs, then began coughing, holding her neck painfully. The two Sailor senshi glared at the new enemy. The two mysterious women in the suits laughed. One of them with the reddish hair, said, "You are quite powerful, Sailor Venus, Sailor Uranus.. You were supposed to be in Millenium Galaxy, not this one." "That Galaxia must have informed Millenium Galaxy about our attack," the other one with bluish hair, said. "She betrayed us.." The Sailor senshi and Artemis became confused. "Black Dream, we're not allowing you to get your target. With Venus, Healer, Artemis, and I here, you'll never succeed," Super Sailor Uranus said challengingly. "Let's prove if you are right, Queen Uranus." The one with the blue hair concentrated for a moment, then exclaimed, "Alpha Destroying Star!" Super Sailor Uranus got Healer, and Venus got Artemis. The two Sailor senshi jumped away fast enough before the attack had a chance to hit them. The impact was quite hard, for it made a sizable dent in the ground. The two Sailor senshi landed in another spot, quite far from where they once were. Healer Point began glowing red, indicating that it was being attacked. "Healer, Healer, wake up!" Super Sailor Venus pleaded, trying to nudge Healer who was unconscious in Uranus's arms. "It's no use, she's already unconscious because of lack of oxygen.." Super Sailor Uranus frowned. Meanwhile, another attack from the red haired woman came to them, "Solar Accurate Ray!" This time, when the senshi tried to dodge, they couldn't. The attack sure was accurate like it's name.. Super Sailor Venus gasped out in pain she never experienced before. As if she was attacked by a terrible sunburn, even worst. A lot more worst than she expected. [Duh, this is our new enemy.. It must have been many times more powerful than the last ones.. Look at how many galaxies it conquered!] she thought in pain. In her arms lied Artemis who was safely protected by Venus. "Mina, Mina (Minako)!" Artemis cried, rubbing his head against the soldier of love and beauty's face. But his owner was too weak to move. Super Sailor Uranus was blocking Sailor StarHealer, who was still unconscious. She had no more strength to go on, and was sure that she couldn't make it if another hit landed. [..our energy is not enough, what shall we do?] Sailor StarHealer thought absently, her eyes still closed, [..minna (everyone).. I want to help, too.] Her side was burnt slightly because Uranus couldn't block her whole, but she didn't mind. The silver haired Sailor senshi gathered her strength and stood up. "Another one to go, ne, Alpha?" the red haired woman laughed. "Solar, she has no energy left. She's even the owner of this point.. whatever it's called.. It's going to be demolished anyway," the blue haired woman said. The silver haired Sailor senshi bit her lip and glared. She produced her Star Yell and allowed it to float between her hands. She saw Venus and Uranus lying down there and felt very guilty. "I'll prove it to you! We're not as weak as you think. For your information, Healer Point will NOT be destroyed!" As if it was a cue, the Star Yell glowed very brightly with energy. Solar and Alpha shielded their eyes and gasped in shock. "What is that?! The legendary power of Healer Star..is being released?" Sailor StarHealer was covered by light green ribbons, which after they fade, the silver haired senshi was covered by a princess-like dress. "Princess StarHealer?" Super Sailor Venus whispered weakly. Princess StarHealer concentrated very hard on the energy which was radiating from the Star Yell. Then suddenly, Alpha and Solar had lost ability to move or do anything else (even think.) Alpha and Solar were left there, their actions frozen. Except the Sailor senshi who were not freezed, that is. The Star Yell reverted itself into a beautiful long white rod..a key, actually. Healer Point stopped glowing red and remained the same as it once was. Princess StarHealer opened her eyes and was surprised to find her- self holding a key to Healer Point. She wondered if her friends could also make this happen, but she had no more time to think about that. The silver haired princess stared at Healer Point closely, then found that there was a fading key hole where the key could be inserted. Princess StarHealer wasted no more time and did what she thought was right: insert the key. A brilliant light flashed once again. The Crystalline Pillar of Healer Point seemed to be opening up, revealing the contents inside it. Protected very safely by barriers laid the new attacking item. The light was too bright for the senshi to see what it really was. Princess StarHealer reached out inside it as the barriers disappear one by one to avoid her touch. She finally touched it. Super Sailor Venus and Uranus felt a life-renewing energy they've once felt when they were turned into Super-form. Even Artemis felt it, his cresent moon on his head glowing. Princess StarHealer felt a tremendous amount of energy from the item going inside her. "I've got it!" she whispered. To be continued...
