Ellie Spectre had wanted to punch someone in the face. That damned cat! What in the world had she been thinking, popping into a store and just leaving a pen around like it was nobody's business?! And then when the blonde had asked about possibly trailing that Vanessa girl until sh*t went down, the cat denied her.

DENIED HER!

The teen, in all of her rage, had not only transformed into the infamous Sailor Iris, but decided to spend some time in space. It wasn't like anybody would miss her. Or even notice. Her parents would think she was in her room asleep.

Once more, the yellow-suited senshi arrived, feet rather suddenly planted in the cold sand beneath her feet. It was still absolutely dark. "Right," she muttered. "I need t'show up durin' th'day time..." As she waited for her eyes to adjust, she kicked up the sand, making it eventually get into her nose from all the dust. The senshi eventually stopped just so she could cough and sneeze out the disgusting smell of dirt from her nose.

"F*ck... it smells just like earth sand..." she snorted before moving forward. However, this time, she decided to do herself a favor. Tightening up a fist, the senshi summoned light to her fingers until a bright light of seven different colors escaped. There was only one explanation for this phenomenon. "Iris Rainbow Slicer!"

It helped to lighten up the place, but there wasn't anything to really see. Just mounds and mounds of desert sand. However, it seemed this time she landed closer to where she had ended her journey the previous time. It only took about 10 minutes of wandering around to find that spot where the destroyed wood structure was. Unlike the previous time, where she seemed to ignore the ruins, Iris stepped forward, letting her slicer drape forward like some sort of ribbon-flashlight. Her eyes glanced over the pieces of wood as her free hand dared to touch one of the wood pieces. The moment her gloved finger dared to touch the chunk of dark wood, it disintegrated completely.

"...well.... Guess that means 'look, don' touch!'" Her eye glanced to her finger, which now had a dark brown spot on it left from where she had touched that particular ruin. She cautiously stepped back, finally taking a breath when she felt she was at a safe distance. Her white boots began to pace about the area, Iris looking at the remains like a cat stalking a mouse.

"So, what tha' heck were you at one point?" She paced and paced and paced, and only found one answer waiting for her. I don't have a clue!

Sighing heavily, she plopped her butt down in the sand, more dust puffing up into a cloud around her lit up by colored light. "So what th'hell is th'deal with this place anyways?" The tomboy coughed and attempted to wave away the remaining dust cloud with her free hand.

When the dust cleared, something seemed out of place.

The cat was there. How the cat was there, not even Iris had an idea. Yet she was walking along, looking in the senshi's direction.

"God, I can't get away from ya for two seconds..." the cat was a sneaky one at times. Maybe she had somehow figured out how to sneak a ride with the Senshi of Rainbows? Or maybe she had her own phone she could use for space travel? The senshi was within an arm's distances of the feline.

"Get th'heck outta 'ere, cat! I ain't in th'mood!" She swiped her free hand at the feline.

The cat hadn't dodged and remained on the same path. And soon enough the white gloved fingers had swiped completely through the cat. The tailless feline didn't even look affected at all, her smile still the same constant curve upon her maw.

"...th'f*ck?" At a slower pace, the blonde ran her hand through the same path, each time, her hand passing through the cat like a ghost.

Each time, the familiar feline did not seem affected in the slightest. Eventually, the small pale manx giggled, looking to Iris almost eagerly.

"So, you have to tell me, Sailor Iris. Is there a reason why you are walking on your hands today?"

"...what th'heck are ya talkin' 'bout cat? I ain't..." Before the senshi could finish speaking, she heard a very familiar voice speaking up.

"I'm walking on my hands because my feet got tired, *********. Why else would I do it, silly?"

The Senshi of Rainbows felt her voice evaporate from her throat. That's my voice! That's MY voice!! What th'hell is goin' on?!!!

Just as suddenly as the ghostly ********* had appeared, she had vanished, leaving Sailor Iris there to wonder what had just happened. She let her hand open up, once more returning the side of the asteroid she was on in complete darkness again. Her voice had already vanished, leaving the senshi to do the thing she hated the most.

Think.

What just happened? Why was ********* see through? Is ********* a ghost? How the hell did that voice... my voice... how did that happen?! Her fingers clenched into the sand. I have to... I need to talk to *********! She has to know! Her fingers let go of the sand, creeping behind her back and eventually pulling out her phone from who-knows-where.

There were questions that she needed answered. With a touch of a button, the girl returned back to planet Earth. Perhaps a touch more mellow, but plenty more curious.
