It was the end of January. The Y2K hooplah was over and everyone's thought's were leaning towards Valentine's. With the Negaverse gone everyone can live peacfully. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No one noticed when a dark beam of light shot down from the night sky and onto an old dilapadated building. The beam only lasted for a few seconds, but when it was done the old building had become a beautiful lavish mansion. Inside was a polished throne. A lovely woman with pale blue hair sat on the throne. She was dressed in a dark dress with a mini skirt,chic boots,a cape,and a small witches hat. Before her floated a giant orb. She waved her scepter before it.
"The big apple,Let's turn it into a rotten apple," The chic witch said with a purr.
"Who wants to go first?"
"I will," one of the six figures shrouded in the shadows of the room said. He stepped foreward. He was dressed sophisticatedly wearing a suit and a leather cape.
"Ahh Nosferus. you will do well. Find the Soul tears that are from people with deep and beautiful souls."
"Yes Queen Hectate."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The last bell of classes rang and the students poured out into the halls. A girl about seventeen pulled out her books and shut the door of her locker. Her red hair hung in pigtails around her shoulders. Her name is Keyla Callahan. She has lived in the city for only a couple of months
"oomff,Sorry Laurine," Keyla apologised to the girl with pale blond hair after bumping into her.
"Its allright," Laurine told her and left.
'Laurine is nice and very talented,'Keyla thought.'Why do I feel that we have a special connection?'* She though about it for a while and shrugged.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She decided to ride her bike to the mall before heading home. She hasn't been to the mall since her Christmas shopping. One shop seemed to lure her in.
"Hi Keyla,"One of the women working there said.
"Do I Know you?" The Red head asked.
"It's me Catsy," The woman said.
"Catsy? What kind of name is that?"
"Did the last battle steal your memories?"
"Steal my?"She didn't finish. somehow she felt as she did know this woman." I have to go." She ran out of there so fast that she didn't see Laurine. They crashed into each other again.
"Oh sorry Keyla,"Laurine said.
"That really was my fault." She looked down and saw that their books and folders were on the ground. They scrambled around picking their stuff up.
"Laurine why are you carrying around a lot of art supplies?"Keyla asked.
"I'm heading over to the new aquarium. I'm part of the design team." Laurine replied.
"oh cool, tell me when its done."
"Ok," Soon they picked up their stuff and left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leaving the mall Keyla noticed a small crowd gathered in front of a small stage.
'A stupid Quarryman ralley'Keyla thought. She noticed that some of the people that didn't like the Quarrymen held P.I.T cards'I should join them but why?' She walked to where Laurine and Sadie Hunter stood. Keyla felt the same connection with Sadie that she did with Laurine as well as two other girls. A tough looking girl with raven colored hair and a blond who was dressed to the nines.
"Stupid Quarrymen,"laurine muttered. She hated them because they destroyed statues as well as mythological creatures. But Gargoyles arn't mythical. Are they?
"I have a wierd feeling that I met gargoyles before."Sadie spoke up.
"It's wierd but I have the same feeling."
"Me too," Laurine added. The ralley ended with the hooded jerks getting into a fight with P.I.T members. when the sirens began to wail the crowd started to disperse.
"I have to get going to the aquarium." Laurine said and rolled off on her rollerblades.
"I better go as well." Keyla said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nosferus approached the South Star aquarium. It was nearly complete. He watched as numerous artists enter the building to decorate.
"Artist's have deep and beutiful souls." Hectate's servant said."They should have the right sould tear." He walked to the side entrance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Nothing on tv. I guess I'll just do my science homework." Keyla said and begun to rumage through her back pack. Orion,her small brown cat,walked up to her.
"Meow," Orion greeted.
"Hi Orion," Keyla greeted her pet."Something wierd happened to me at the mall."
"Meow?"
"One lady in an accesory shop knew my name."
"Mee-ow."
"She had a wierd name herself and she expected me to know her. She asked me about a battle that stole my memories." She pulled out her book.
"Meow."
"Yeah that is strange." She brought out her folder and opened it. It wasnt her folder.
"Oh no I must have grabbed Laurine's folder by mistake."Keyla said."She said she'll be at the South Star Aquarium." She grabbed her jacket. While putting it on Orion slipped into her pack.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nosferus watched the artist's at work
'How do I get their Soul Tears?' He thought. After a few minutes he pulled out an object in the shape of a bat and threw it in the air. The object became an eyeball with bat wings,
"Bring the artist's to me one by one."Nosferus ordered. The eyeball flew silently into an area with three people painting a mural. A dark beam shot from the pupil to the back of the painter's head. The young artist stopped what he was doing and left. The flying eye lead him to Nosferus. Nosferus's skin turned purple,his hair became slick with a widow's peak,his features became more chisled,his eyes became feline like and two fangs formed. He sank his fangs into the painter's neck. Instead of blood he pulled out a shimmery tear shaped crystal with a jewel shaped light inside. He studied it for a few seconds before saying
"Not the right kind. Bring me another."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sorry can't let you in without a pass,"A security gaurd said.
"C'mon,She need's her folder as much as I need mine,"Keyla stated.
"I'll call one of the employess inside to tell her about the folder."
"Ok I'll wait." She sat down while the gaurd began to dial.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey where did she go?" Laurine asked of Marie."She was here a minute ago." She stood up and left the room.
"Marie? I need to ask you something." She turned the corner and bumped into an employee.
"I'm sorry ma'am," Laurine apologised.
"That's allright," the woman said.
"Have you seen Marie?"Laurine gave her the description of Marie.
"I havent seen her,"The Employee said."A lot of the artists arent where they are supossed to be. they kept walking until they came upon more employes collapsed on the ground.
"That the?" The woman asked. Up ahead they saw a dark shadowy character. In his arms was Marie. The woman screamed. Nosferus turned towards them.
"Crimson blood splash." Nosferus sent a wave of blood like fluid towards them. The woman was hit head on.
"Allright fang face, don't make me punish you." Laurine said.'Why did I say that?'
"You punish me?"Nosferus asked before laughing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hmmm no answer," the Security gaurd said. He went inside. Keyla sighed and noticed her back pack was moving.
"Huh?"She asked and unzipped her backpack. Orion leaped out"You silly kitty." She pet his head.
"Hmmm maybe if I'm quiet I can find Laurine." She picked up the pack."You stay here." She ran inside.
"Orion I have a bad feeling about this." a grey cat with a golden swirl approached him.
"I agree Celest," He said.
"Could it be the Negaverse?" Celest asked.
"I doubt it,but we better follow Keyla."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Allright Sicko freeze," The front entrance gaurd aimed his gun at Nosferus.
"Crimson Blood Splash." Nosferus sent his attack towatds the gaurd."Now where did that girl go?" He asked before getting shot with a spray of hot glue in the eyes"Arrrgh!" He screamed.
"Take that,"Laurine said. The winged eyeball flew infront of her and knocked her glue gun out of her hand.
Behind them Keyla entered.
"Om my god what is that thing?" She asked.
"Keyla turn around."Orion said behind her.
"What in the world?" Keyla asked."This is getting way to wierd." Orion said nothing but a golden beam shot from his spiral mark and struck Keyla's forehead.
Memories flooded in. The first time she became Lady Sun,ariving in New York.Of her as a princess and fighting the Negaverse. The circle of light changed to the symbol of the sun.
"I gotta stop that thing."Keyla said while pinning on her solar brooch."Sun Spectrum Power!" A sphere of light in the shape of the sun formed in front of her wrapping her in its beams. Two little stars dance around her wrists forming her arm bands. Two more danced around her feet forming her boots,tights,belt,and skirt. A light flashed acrossed her forehead and two lights flashed over her pigtails. Her headband and barrets formed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laurine dove to the side but the eye followed her. It was about to shoot some sort of optic beam when Lady Sun leapt in kicking the eye in the iris. The red haired warrior then threw her chakram at the creature. The eye flashed and became the flat bat shaped chip. It fell to the ground and cracked.
"Who are you and why do you interfere?" Nosferus asked wiping the last of the glue off.
"I am the soldier of warmth and light. I am Lady Sun. In the name of the Sun I will punish you."
"Lady Sun? Never hear of ya." He tried to send his attack again but a brown griffin knocked into him.
"Sun lightdisc Spin" Three golden discs of light hone into Nosferus.
"you wrench!" He screamed and disapeared.
"Whew thats over," Sun said wiping her brow. She turned to look at Laurine. Celest had a beam of light connecting her forehead to Laurine's. The sign of Andromeda formed on her forehead.
"Hey welcome back," Sun said.
"Now that I remeber I will be able to fight next time," Laurine said.
"Laurine," Celest began."What about your firends?"She indicated the collapsed bodies.
"Maybe these have something to do with it,"Orion picked up one of the soul tears.
"Probably,"Sun picked up another one and walked over to the bodies. The tear did nothing when held near the first two bodies,but at the third it glowed and was reabsorbed back into the body.
The young man's eyes opened. Orion,Celest,and Laurine nodded and joined Sun. Before long they returned all the soul tears back to their owners.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Nosferus!" Queen Hecate shouted at the top pf her lungs.
"Yes," The vampire asked timmidly.
"What happened out there?"
"This bitch Lady Sun prevented me in perrforming my duty."
"Only one?"
"Yes just the one."
