Prompt 13: Radioactive Mysteries Destiny City has been booming, but with more people you need more power. Recently, an old power plant has been renovated and updated and just opened for business–but now people have been claiming dizziness or fatigue when in the area. Not to mention the animals. So far one shady, blurry video has been posted online of a strange bear-shaped humanoid ‘monster’ in the area. It’s difficult to tell if it’s a hoax or not, but whether or not you believe it, it might be a good idea to keep your eye out if you’re in the area. Especially because if you pass through, you feel like something’s watching you. It doesn’t have an aura so it can’t be a youma, but if you poke around too late at night you might find a strange creature that's built like a bear, covered in fur, but which has a strangely human presence. Something about it is just off--or, maybe it’s just your imagination. Maybe it’s just someone in a costume having a bit of fun at your expense. Still, its claws are sharp and it’s fast. When it runs through the forests, the trees seem to crack upon impact, and if you explore during the daytime you might find strange scratches and odd markings in the grass. The longer you’re in the area, the dizzier you get.

Amaterasu's excitement to be a Senshi was always...very much. It certainly kept Izanami on her toes, and made sure that she herself got out and did...well, as much as she could, really. How was she supposed to face her sister, after all, if she was slacking when Amaterasu was doing so much work to be so good at being Sailor Amaterasu?
So fine, they would further investigate the rumors around this facility. Fine, they would perhaps find and fight a bear, as she had with the Saturn Page not too long before. But now that she'd seen the creature once, Izanami was much less afraid of coming out here again. She could handle it. She most especially could with backup.
"Be careful, Ama-chan," she said, "There's no need to go rushing into danger." But it would be well. Especially since there seemed to be another Senshi present, and the monster was already here.
The other Senshi was, it seemed, also distinctly not human. But Izanami was beginning to feel as if she were used tot he concept of people from other planets. If anything, it was almost welcome--an indicator that somehow, some way, some worlds had survived. That...was worth quite a lot, in Izanami's opinion.
"Stay back," she warned her sister, "and let nee-chan and this nice Senshi handle things." She focused on the creature, eyes sharp. If it tried ot come fro Amaterasu, she would make it regret it. "Cremation Pyre!"

Sterrennacht dodged the swipes from the monster she could tell its claws were razor sharp and it moved with unusual speed, she figured the beast would grievously wound her if she allowed it to get its paws on her. She missed the strength, both physically and magically, she once had in her youth at that moment. As she dodged out of the beasts way it collided with a tree causing a sickening crack in the tree's base. She needed to deal with this problem before it tore up the whole forest in its pursuit of her.
"Sterrennacht Hostile Sonata" She called on her magic holding her hand out towards the monster. However the blood colored shadows that should have shot out from her hand sputtered and died at her finger tips. She cursed her terrible luck this night. Of all the times for her magic to fail her, it had to be when some accursed Earth monster was bearing down on her. As the beast swung its claws towards her she held up her arms to block its assault and try to protect her face. However a blast of magical blue fire suddenly engulfed the beast as it roared in agony stumbling back from the alien woman.
Then the ancient woman realized the presence of two more auras besides her own. She had been so busy in her fight that she hadn't noticed their approach. She turned to the woman who had cast the fire upon the monster. Her eyes narrowed beneath her veil as she studied her would be rescuer. She was furious, though her face remained passive, she could not believe the gall of this woman to interfere like this. She should have left the ancient senshi to live or die by her own strength, to live by the providence of another was a level of weakness that disgusted the senshi of hatred. She despised being in another person's debt, it was enough to make her want to kill the woman there and then but she restrained her burning hatred. She was both out numbered, even one was but a chibi, and out powered by the super senshi. Putting on a mask of politeness. "Thank you, young senshi. I suppose I owe you my life. I am Sailor Sterrennacht, the senshi of hatred." She introduced herself keeping an eye on the burning creature to see if it would die to the magic or live to keep fighting. Amaterasu nodded, she didn't have attack magic like her big sister so she couldn't just charge into battle. "I'll heal you both after the battle!" she promised. It was her role afterall, she was the rejuvenating morning sun, her healing might not be strong but it would work for a simple fight with a monster like this. She didn't know what the monster was, it didn't have an aura so that meant it definitely wasn't a youma but it also clearly wasn't a normal bear either, maybe it was bigfoot after all. Regardless of what the creature was, it was currently in the middle of attacking the alien senshi lady. Her big sister nailed it with her her magic enveloping the monster in a blue flame. "Yeah go Nee-chan!" Amaterasu cheered as her sister engaged the beast.

It seemed lucky they'd arrived when they did. The alien Senshi looked as if she was about to take a terrible hit from the beast's nasty claws, stopped only by it rearing back in pain from Izanami's magic. Good. If that didn't destroy it, it would hopefully drive it away, and that would mean they were all safe and Amaterasu had gotten just a little more experience without ever being in real, serious danger.
That was all Izanami could hope for, really. That her sister would always be safe, and never have to fear getting caught in some kind of monster attack alone.
"You're welcome," Izanami said. "I've encountered this thing before; it should be well and chased off now." Or so she hoped. If not, well. She had plenty more magic to use, if that became necessary.
Hopefully, it would not. And, true to her prediction, the creature began to withdraw, snarling and growling but clearly afraid.
Izanami narrowed her eyes, and snapped out another burst of magic, which sent it running. Then, she returned her attention fully to the alien Senshi,w tiht he threat handily dealt with.
"Izanami of Cremation," she said, "and this is my sister, Amaterasu of Sunrise. Are you injured? She can help." Hopefully, at least. Anything serious would be beyond her sister's power, but Sterrennacht wasn't acting seriously injured. Perhaps she was covering for something worse; but if she were, that would be impossible for Izanami to know. So she could only hope that this woman would be honest with her and with Amaterasu, about her condition.

Amaterasu grinned with pride as she watched her sister send the large creature running off into the forest. She rushed over to her side, that was even easier than she had expected, it just went to show how stronger her sister was. The two grown up women were talking as Amaterasu bounded up. She looked over the small purple woman, she was obviously not a human, Amaterasu wondered what planet she came from. It made the young girl all the more curious about space, how many alien species were out there like this lady. As her sister was saying stuff to the other senshi Amaterasu saw she had scratches all over her body they didn't look bad but still it was something she could help with. "Your hurt," She said to the older woman. "I can help! Rising Sun Infirmary!" She called on her magic not waiting for a reply creating a small glowing ball like the morning sun. It rays shone on the three senshi healing the scratches on the alien's body and restoring her sister's spent energy. Sterrennacht was about to tell the senshi of cremation that she was fine and did not need any further aid however the young chibi apparently decided to not give the woman a choice. It made her sick, the disgraceful display. She wanted to flay the young senshi alive however she did not let any of her animosity show on her face. She just wanted to remove herself from this situation, she was not powerful enough to kill these would be do-gooders and she could not tolerate any further humiliations from their supposed 'kindness'. "Yes well I should be going." She said restraining the emotions in her voice. "Thank you again Amaterasu and Izanami. I hope one day I am able to pay you both back for your actions this night." She spoke her words in a veil of sincere gratitude to hide the unspoken threat. If she ever regained the power she once had she would find this two and make them pay for the indignities they visited upon tonight, they would suffer for thinking her weak enough to require their aid.
