Chapter 3: Sirix, the Destroyer.

“YOU BASTARD!”, Cole roared with all of his might. Tears streamed down his face, his knees on the ground. “HE WAS INNOCENT! HE WAS NO GOOD TO YOU! YOU WILL PAY!”

“I will not.”, the creature responded slowly. He still was not used to the English language.

Cole stared up at it, his eyes red and extremely irritated; he couldn’t look at the ground anymore, he couldn’t bare to see Matt’s father slain and mutilated under his boots. It was enough that his uniform was covered in the man’s blood and his face was covered with his own. He stood erect with his right arm directly toward the orange sky, a large red, Saturn-shaped ball forming in his palm.

“I hate you.” , Cole sneered, the blood on his lip gleaming in the orange sunlight. “SATURN!”

“You are very funny.” the creature said smiling with Cole’s dimples and glaring with the beheaded man’s brown eyes.

“NUCLEAR!”

The orange sky now turned black and a red aura shined over Cole.

“ARMAGED----”

The black bodied figure glided furiously towards Cole and charged his razor edged hand into Cole’s chest. The energy on his palm disappeared when Cole shifted his palm from the air to his chest. He bled uncontrollably and fell to the ground.

“You were foolish and careless, boy.” The black being said triumphantly “Anger blinded your human self.”

“INGNORANCE WILL DESTROY YOUR FREAK SELF!” Cole shot at him with every ounce of energy he had left. He lifted his fist and swung at its face.

The black creature grabbed Cole’s arm with ease. “We will see.” He began to absorb Cole’s energy once more and Cole gave a piercing yell of pain. His uniform faded away and he began to grow very pale as the creature was now almost an exact copy of the young boy with only brown eyes that he absorbed from Matt’s father as the only flaw.

“I feel your energy, human.” the Cole look alike said, moving his fingers and head. “AND I LIKE IT!”

“Who are you?” Cole whispered half-consciously.

The brown eyed Cole kicked the original away from him. “You ask my identity, fool? I am Sirix, eternal servant to the Lords of the Dark Star.”

Cole could not listen to him anymore, he was severely unconscious and blood deprived. Sirix only seemed more pleased.

“My job is done then.”, Sirix said victoriously and now looking at his torn and blood soaked attire. He snapped his fingers and a long black robe covered his slim body and hooded everything but his brown eyes. Sirix began to walk away when he remembered what he had come for. He turned around and bent over Cole’s silent corpse, reaching for the scepter that was clutched in his hands.

“Not so fast.”, a deep voice shot out from behind Sirix.

The voice belonged to Venus who aimed his scepter threateningly at the robed being’s forehead.
“We are the Sailor Soldiers! We stand for justice and peace and triumph over evil! And that means you!” Venus continued. “VENUS IMPERIAL CRUSH!”

Thousands of tiny chains ejected from Venus’ scepter and wrapped around Sirix who seemed slightly amused.

“JUPITER LIGHTNING SMASH!”, Drake roared that sent a cylindrical dome of lightning over their robed foe.

“MARS CRIMSON ANNIALATION!” Matt followed which caused a dragon shaped flame to spin over the thunder.

“MERCURY!”, Venus snapped at his companion “Hurry up and do something!”

Mercury quivered but quickly managed an ice blue sphere in his palm. “MERCURY ICE STORM FREEZE!”

The dragon roared madly while wrapping its serpent like body around the cylindrical lightning when the ice storm froze it in its place and the entire set of attacks stood rock solid over its hidden target.

Venus and the others waited in awkward anticipation as they stared up at there magnificent creation. It was a bold and majestic scene. A beautiful round cylinder covered with an angry storm of flames with a grand and vicious fire dragon wrapped around the outside; its mouth ajar with a malicious gleam in its fiery eyes, and the entire thing covered with ice which made it look a gigantic statue, frosted and glorious.

Venus tried to hold back his smiles but finally gave in. “We did it you guys!!” he urged over enthusiastically to the soldiers. “We defeated him! The Sailor Soldiers haven’t lost it quite---”

He suddenly stopped his sentence. He realized the Soldiers hadn’t heard a word he had said. They were too busy trying to help their fallen leader who lay on the ground pale and on the verge of death. Venus also rushed over to his team with his smiles weary…and about faded.

“He does not look too good.”, Andrew spoke after deep thought and observation “He is breathing very lightly and apparently he de-transformed while we were away.”

Venus suddenly realized that Cole was not in his uniform now that Andrew brought it up. “But he will be fine…won‘t he?”

“HE IS UNCONSCOUS! WHAT DO YOU THINK!?” Mars shot at David who turned his head away.

“Then we have to send him to the hospital, pronto.” Drake said, trying to boost the team morale.

Matt apparently was not finished with his sarcastic binge quite yet. He arose from his fallen friends side and pushed Drake up to his eye level. “You know what, Drake?”, Mars started quietly and calmly “You are so right. Why didn’t we think of this before? You guys!? Why didn’t we think of this before!?” He voice rose uncomfortably loud and cold hearted “OH YEAH!”, he giggled evilly “Now I remember. Maybe it had something to do with the fact….and I am just thinking out loud ya know….maybe it has something to do with the fact that ONCE THESE ATTACKS STARTED MAYBE EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE DAMN TOWN LEFT SO THEIR HEADS WOULDN’T BE TORN OFF BY THAT ROBED LOSER IN THAT GIANT ICE CUBE, DRAKE!” Matt was now pushing drake towards the end of the highway and everyone held Matt away and urged him to stop at once. “MAYBE THAT IS WHY WE DIDN’T THINK OF THAT DRAKE!! MAYBE THAT IS WHY MY BEST FRIEND IS LYING ON A DIRTY HIGHWAY INCHES FROM DEATH!”

David reluctantly lifted up his fist and punched Mars roughly onto the ground, who was now broken in tears. “I am sorry I had to do that Matt, I really am, but ganging up on our teammates is NOT helping anything. We must find a hospital that hasn’t been evacu---”

“That wont be necessary.”, a low and weak voice grumbled.

“COLE!” Andrew yelled with glee as he and the others ran to their friend. “HOW---WH--What---How is it possible you are conscious right now?!”

“That thing knocked me out…He hit me pretty hard in the head.” Cole said glumly with his hand rubbing his forehead.

“I’m sorry to break up this little happy parade.”, Matt said, rising from the ground with a bruised cheek. “But Cole, why is there blood all over you?”

A sudden jolt of panic hit Cole. What would he tell Matt since most of the blood on himself belonged to his friend’s father…he could try to work around telling him…maybe he could tell him tomorrow…‘NO!’, he thought to himself. He had to talk right now.

Cole was too worried to notice he was shaking very roughly and he looked pale and fatigued. “I…uh…Matt, I am so sorr”

“Don’t be an idiot Matt!”, Drake shot at Mars fiercely. “That…ba--thing really thrashed Cole around. Of coarse he started bleeding. Who’s else’s blood might be on Cole!?”

“I’m sorry for being concerned!”, Matt snapped

Cole saw this as the perfect opportunity to tell them everything. How insignificant he felt after being humiliated by Sirix, how tired he felt, how scared he felt, but nothing could come out. His mouth was frozen shut. All he could do was tremble in his stance as he let tears fall from his eyes unknowingly. It was his responsibility as leader to tell him though. They needed to know they were all in grave danger and blood had just been shed mere minutes ago. He could open his mouth now.

But no words would come out, just funny and incomprehensible sounds-babble. He noticed the frozen ice structure in front of him, he wanted soo bad to know if Sirix was in there. Maybe then he would be able to speak every single word he wanted to say right now, he had never hated so much before.

“Is he in there.”, he managed to mumble in a sort of whisper.

“Yes.” Andrew said casually. Cole was glad he knew who ‘he’ was, he really didn’t want to talk.

His thoughts were confirmed. With all of his strength he grabbed his scepter from the ground and marched towards the frozen statue.

“SATURN STARLIGHT POWER!!”, Cole said with all of his heart and strength back in him. His torn and bloodstained clothes were immediately replaced by his uniform which was in equal condition.

“What the heck are you doing!?”, panicked Venus while he and the others ran to Saturn “You aren’t at full strength yet!”

“Quit trying to be a hero!” urged Mars who clutched Cole’s elbow only to be shoved away by it.

Saturn stared straight up at the statue and ,without thought, made the v-shaped headpiece over his forehead glow a bright white color. “SATURN LIGHTBEAM CRUSH!” he echoed as the light on his headpiece sent a horrific ray of blinding energy at the statue. Millions of tiny shards of ice flew everywhere and a pale blue mist stood in front of Saturn’s cold eyes.

The entire highway was flooded with icy water from the thawed ice and Cole waited in anticipation to see what stood in the center of the fallen monument.

He felt something or someone telling him to back away, and he could hear the screams of his teammates coming from behind him, yet he didn’t move. He felt a deep coldness over his throat, but the mist in front of his eyes prevented him from getting a clear image. He could see something now…it was the girl he had loved before he even liked girls, Christie, but it seemed so strange, he was seeing from another perspective, not his own. He could see himself approaching her as she lunged into his arms and kissed him heavily. He felt very warm and fuzzy now.

He thoughts then scattered while a voice that sounded like Matt’s spoke and a flurry of flames zoomed inches past his right side and struck something in front of him. Then it hit Cole. He was convinced they had struck Christie and turned around to face Matt.

“You are jealous aren’t you!?”, Cole roared at his Mars. “You wanted to take her away from me didn’t you?! Well it WONT WORK!”

“What the heck are you talking about?!”, Matt asked furious to such a preposterous accusation. “Who is Christie?”

“You know who she you slimy bastard.” Cole put his palm to Matt. “You must die. SATURN NUCLEAR ARMAGEDDON!”

Saturn’s energy blast launched from his palm and towards Matt at lightning speed. Cole’s pupils were eerily dilated.

“VENUS CRESCENT RAY----FIRE!”, David yelled as he sent a beam of his own to counter Cole’s. They collided and exploded before it could hit Matt. “What are you doing! Christie is not here!”

“YOU LIAR!”, Cole yelled forcefully. His voice did not sound like his own. Now the back of his throat felt unbearably cold and he could feel the shockwaves of his teammates attacks, hitting near the source. Cole was roughly turned around to face what was clutching his neck. It was Sirix, except his stolen features had faded and replaced with a hideous pale and distorted face with purple veins throbbing on its bald head.

Cole had always wondered what it was like to be killed, but now he didn’t have to, he was staring into the eyes of his killer.
