Chills
Sydney trudged through the snow, ignoring the wet snow that seeped into her old sneakers—in her haste to leave she had tugged on her converses instead of sensible snow boots, figures—and the crystal flakes of snow that drifted through the winter night. The sky was a midnight blue with stars happily sprinkled throughout and peeking through the murky snow clouds. Had it not been for the battle with the faux ice princess, she was sure that she would be admiring the stars on her front porch after heartily gorging on holiday food. It was a far-off paradise that never happened and never would, not this year. She had answered the snow globe’s haunting call instead.
It had been all fine and dandy at first; it was the typical brawl and mass chaos as negaverse and senshi fought over a crystal. Ah, two crystals, actually. Both ended up in the hands of the senshi. It should have warmed her heart, but the aftermath of the struggle was clearly imprinted in her mind hours after she had left the scene of the crime.
Fear. Had Sydney known fear before encountering that domineering woman as she gleefully clutched onto another senshi’s starseed? She had known fear, but not a fear that crept into her bones and made her blood run icy cold.
Hugging herself, Sydney solemnly trailed up the front steps. She slowly reached out to grasp the door handle. Her fingers were heavy, lethargically moving like rusty gears. The door softly creaked open, letting a rush of warm air welcome home the redhead as she eagerly scurried inside. A blanket of heat wrapped around her, but she continued to shiver as she silently treaded up the stairs and into her room.
Sydney dropped into bed and squirmed under the bed covers, pulling the comforter over her head to drive away the memories of the past hours. She closed her eyes and curled up into a ball, wishing for her body to soak in the heat faster. Her body was still so cold and the haunting chill refused to budge.
All of that darkness. All of that pain. We will spread it like a plague. The strong, steady voice echoed in her thoughts before progressing into a maniacal, gleeful chant that banged on her skull. She choked back a sob as she pulled herself into a tighter ball (if that was even possible). We will turn your hearts to darkness, and we will watch as you kill everyone you love. The bold words sent chills down her spine as Sydney morbidly imagined herself, decorated in thin, bloody strings as she cut her family to pieces. She swallowed, turning onto her side and forcing herself to sleep.
Tomorrow would be better, or at least she hoped.

Power Up
Eyes closed, she breathed a deep sigh, taking in the brisk night air as a gentle wind caressed her face. She kept them shut for a few more seconds to further savor the cooling sensation. When Sinon opened her eyes, she faced a tall building, not particularly tall, just a few more stories compared to the surrounding stores. She gazed at the structure for a moment, tracing a random path through the numerous blackened windows that decorated its face before she redirected it to her hand. Almost curiously, she flexed her hand, curling it into a fist and then stretching it out like she was checking her muscles. Perhaps in a way, she was.
She surveyed her gloves, which were fingerless only moments prior. In fact, her entire outfit was different now. Sure, core elements remained the same, but slight details had been made to her uniform. A hand tentatively reached up to fiddle with the new tie that had replaced her bow—one of the changes Sinon was pleased with. Her silver-toed boots dangled over the edge of the building before she swung her legs over and plunged toward the empty streets of Destiny City. She could hear waist bow fluttering next to her, one of the few changes she was not pleased with.
If she had been Sydney Martin, she surely would have died, but she wasn’t. She was Sailor Sinon. No—she began to correct herself—Super Sailor Sinon. The added word to the title sent the redhead into a giddy fit of giggles. A year! Well, a little more than a year, actually, but about a year! It had taken her a year to level up, but at least she finally did it! When she first started out, Sinon had often envisioned her upgraded attire. Sometimes she would fearfully imagine herself with a skirt instead of her beloved shorts and matching chaps, but to her relief, they had stayed—for now. While she prayed for her next level up to keep her shorts, that was still a ways away from being realized. She had only just turned super! Now was not the time to fantasizing about being an eternal. Now was the time to experiment with her new abilities, fight even more youma, encounter more Negaverse agents, gather information!
She tapped the tip of her boots against the ground, the dull metal clacking against the concrete. Sinon tried and failed to restrain the goofy breaking tugging at the corners of her mouth. Admittedly, her favorite parts of the uniform were her boots and tie. Hands clasped behind her back, she idly strolled down the empty streets in a relaxed patrol of the area. I’m a super now. The thought finally sunk in and she wanted to weakly laugh. I’m a super now.
