Chapter 18:

~~StarLight's Apartment~~

A faded computer image of Taiki appeared before the worried Kakyuu-hime, Seiya, and Yaten.

"Taiki?!" Kakyuu gasped.

The crackling image bowed slowly. "Hime, Seiya, Yaten, I regret to inform you that. . . I'm no longer on this planet. I'm close by, but only my spirit remains. They have my spirit enclosed in a tomb on their desolate ship, I fear what they may do to me. Ami-chan was destroyed as well. Her spirit is confined somewhere else on this ship, buit I do not know of the coordinates of her whereabouts." It spoke quietly and in a calm voice.

"Hey! Why'd it get quite in here all of a sudden?" Solange asks as she walks into the room, towling her seeping wet hair.

The faint image of Taiki disappears completely as Kakyuu, Seiya and Yaten glance away from it momentarily.

"Nothing, Solange-chan. Why don't you get to practice, you'll be late." Yaten snaps.

"Woah, geeze, didn't mean to get on your bad side, Yaten-chan." Solange replies wearily. "Yeah, I'll get to practice, see you all at dinner." She adds. She puts her charcoal black hair into a ponytail and slips on her tennis shoes. As she walks out the door she slips her coat on.

"Healer, don't you think you were a little harsh on her?" Kakyuu scolds quietly.

Yaten winced slightly at being formally addressed by Kakyuu. "Hime, gomen nasai, it's just, Taiki, he's. . ."

"Gone." Seiya finished. "I understand Healer's reactions fully, he was frustrated that our comrade's life was taken. And since Solange knows nothing of this all, the only way Healer could respond, is to snap at her. But, I still think he should've gone a bit easier, maybe an apology at dinner would be acceptable."

~*~*~Lana's Castle~*~*~

"Well done, Cassie, Echo, Kai!" Lana exclaims. "You have ridden us of two senshi, I must say I'm very pleased at your efforts."

"Arigatou gozaimasu Lana-sama!" Cassie exclaims gratefully.

"You three may take a break from missions for now." Lana dismisses.

~*~*~Tsukino Household~*~*~

Usagi was on her stomach atop her bed. "Luna, how do you say arigatou in english?" she asked as she came across her english homework.

"Thank You. Is that all Usagi-chan? I can't give you all the answers in the world." Luna replies quietly.

"Gomen nasai Luna, it's just, ChibiUsa is leaving for the 30th century tomorrow, and says she might not be able to come back thistime. And I guess I'll miss the runt." Usagi sighs.

"As much as you two quarrel, it really does show how much you two care for each other. And I'll miss Diana as well, but we can't mope over them, their place is in the future." Luna states knowingly.

A small knock is heard at the door. "Moon mama, mind if I come in?" ChibiUsa asks, Diana sitting atop her head. Usagi sat up and moved her homework out of the way.

"Of course, ChibiUsa-chan." She replies wearily. As ChibiUsa plops next to her she questions, "So, what's on your mind?"

"Well I'm gonna miss you all, you won't forget about me, right Usagi-chan?" ChibiUsa asks quietly.

"Of course we won't. No one could be able to forget about you if they wanted to. Now, you'd better get some sleep. Tomorrow's a busy day." Usagi states reassuringly. As ChibiUsa got up a flickering image of Ami appeared in front of them.

"Princess, Small Lady. I'm so sorry, but my body has been destroyed by the enemy, and they trapped my soul in a tomb at their base. I will help you everyway I can, but I want to let you know, the same thing has happened to Taiki. Do not grieve for us. I'm sure with you as the leaders, we'll be back alive in no time." The image said. Before it flickered away, it bowed its head respectively.

~*~Tennis Court~*~

"Solange-san, swing at it harder! More power. You'll never win with those moves!" the instructor pushed.

"I'm swinging as good as I can!" Solange screams in response, hitting a few more tennis balls.

"well, pretend they're someone you're mad at, or just hate!" the instructor states.

Solange closed her eyes. An image of Yaten's face appeared in her head and she fixated it on the ball. With powerful force emitting form her racket she hit the ball clear into the forestry that surrounded the court. The instructor clapped and complimented her. Then she rushed of to get a snack, leaving Solange with her practice.

Clapping came form behind her. "Very good." The smooth voice complimented. Solange swerved around to face Aisu.

"Oh, Aisu-chan it's just you." She sighs with relief.

"Two of the sailor senshi died. Mercury and Star Maker." Aisu states.

"Why are you telling me this?" Solange asks. Her voice muffled and confused.

"Look at that star. See the one that shines with excellent briliance? That's the planet Enkai. Only on certain nights you can see it in the sky, because it revolves in another galaxy." Aisu replies, pointing at the sky.

"What does that have to do with me? You didn't answer my question, Aisu-chan." Solange says, aggrivated.

"Solange-chan, you look past the obvious and into the explicate. Enkai, what does that mean?" Aisu responds.

"Ocean. . ."

"And what does your name mean?"

"Rare jewel from the sea." Solange's eyes went misty as an invisible wave hurled from the star Enkai and towards her. Immediately stopping in front of her was a wavey brooch, with a turqiose gem in the center. She reached out for the brooch and grasped it tightly in her fist. A new wave washed over her and she appeared in a sleeveless senshi fuku, that was all lime green except the black belt at her waist. Her long charcoal hair was pulled into a bun at the top of her head and she had simple white gloves covering her hands. She had knee-length lime coloured boots to finish the ensemble.

"Glad we meet again, Star Ocean." Aisu whispers.

Star Ocean turns to her. "Hime, has she awakened? Who has been rekindled so far?"

"So many questions. Yes, hime has been awakened. Me, Star Lightning and her are rekindled, as well as you." Aisu responds. "Now, de-henshin and get back to your practice, meet us at Celeste's apartment around three in the afternoon tomorrow." And with that, the ice senshi disappeared, and Solange found herself not in a senshi fuku anymore.
