Katie Shields (Sailor Earth)
Title: Sailor Earth: Earth's Original Sailor Senshi
Writer: MidoriChi
Canon: Dubbed anime
Rating: 4
Name: Katherine "Katie" "Kitty" Shields (The author has the same first name.)
Senshi Title: Sailor Earth
Species: Puella soror gratuitus
Hair: Jet black
Eyes: Bright blue
Unusual Markings/Colorations: None
Possessions: A mirror that allows her to extract the energy crystals from their holders (the 5 canon senshi, Molly, and her friend Jackie) and changes to the color of the crystal that she is near. The Earth Scepter, which is disguised as her tiara when she's not using it. Her transformation pen which for some reason has a nymph named Lana in it (this is never elaborated on). The gold energy crystal.
Guardians: Sunset, an orange cat with a stylized version of the astrology sign for Earth (it's a star with a + in it instead of a circle) on her forehead.
Origin: Japan. Her father is not with the family. Her mom refuses to reveal what she does for a living. (This is brought up in one annoying as hell chapter.)
Connections to Canon: Darien's little sister. In her past life, she was Princess Katrina of the Earth and the reincarnation of Earth's spirit.
Senshi Outfit: "A strange gold uniform."
Senshi Moves:
Earth Planet Shake: A energy ball flies toward the enemy.
Earth Scepter Energy Beam: Self-explainatory.
Other Special Abilities: She knows tae kwon do and is an excellent ice skater. When she is actually trapped by a youma, the symbol for Earth appears on her forehead and they are all blasted away by a gold light. She recognizes that Darien is Tuxedo Mask.
Annoying Traits: She has a Darien clone of a boyfriend named Dustin Shazuki, who is also Darien's friend from school. She has the highest GPA (4.8) in her school. She takes out nearly every single youma with one hit. She gets selective amnesia halfway through the story.
Thoughts: This story is pretty much a rip-off of the first season and part of the second season. (The story takes place a couple of years before the first season.) But the author absolutely refuses to admit that. (Those energy crystals that Queen Tamina discussed about above are not like the "Rainbow Crystals" from Sailor Earth. True there are seven crystals, but that I tried to avoid, but seven is a necessary number for my fic. And no, the crystals will not join and form one all powerful crystal in the end. [snip] Queen Tamina is nothing like Queen Beryl from Sailor Moon although it's probably a coincidence. I just though that the enemy should be female and no, Jade, Astra, and Crunestar are not generals like Jadeite, Nephrite, Malachite/Kunzite, and Zoizite. They are more like assassins or slaves for Queen Tamina (maybe even advisors). (Tamina calls them her generals in the next chapter.))
Boring and reportable. Moving along...
Samples:
Telephone: RING!!! RING!!!
Darien: (hurries over to the phone and calls out) I'll get it! (answers the phone) Hello? Yeah, she's here! (cups his hand over the phone and calls to Katie) Katie! Telephone!
Katie: Who is it, Darien? (grabbing the phone from Darien's hand)
Darien: Jackie.
Katie: Hi! So what's up? No way! I'll be there right away! Okay. I'll see you there. Bye! (walks over to hang up the phone)
Darien: So what did she want?
Katie: (hangs up the phone) There is a huge jewelry sale at Trinity's and I have to go meet Jackie there. (puts her shoes on and coat, then she opens the door and walks out) See ya! (closes the door)
(On planet Nalpak...)
Crunestar: Your highness, I have a new plan that will get all of the energy we need.
Queen Tamina: And this plan of yours, what is it? (drums her fingernails on the armrests of her throne)
Crunestar: This pendant, will release everyone's anger and will slowly collect their energy for us in the process. Anger is the main key to people's energy.
Queen Tamina: Maybe your plan will work this time. Now go! (waves her hand towards him signaling him to leave)
Katie: (sounds surprised and excited) Wow! There sure are a lot of people that want jewelry today!
Jackie: (sounds calm and informative) Well all of the jewelry is 75% off. But they're giving away these beautiful pendants for free, and that is what everyone is here for.
Katie: Well, then I want one! (runs over to the crowd to get a pendant)
Saleslady: Here you go young lady take one! (hands Katie a beautiful pendant)
Katie: (receives it from the saleslady) Thanks! Oh, it is pretty! (suddenly green energy comes from the pendant and Katie's eyes change color to a dull brown) Hey! Get away from me! (begins to push and shove people out of her way) I'm claustrophobic! Get your stinky cow breath away from me, Jackie!
Jackie: (also had received a pendant) I was standing here first!
Katie: No I was!
(Suddenly the crowd in front of them starts to get rowdy and they start to beat each other up. Then you could hear a gunshot and then police sirens)
Saleslady: (to herself) Yes! Release all your anger. (chuckles)
Katie: Whoa! Jackie, let's get out of here!
Jackie: You can't tell me what to do! Leave me alone!
Katie: Fine! Get arrested for all I care!
(on her way home, Katie bumps into Dustin on the sidewalk and he is also wearing a pendant around his neck)
Katie: Ouch! HEY!!
Dustin: Why don't you watch where you're going? You jerk!
Katie: Me?! You are the one who bumped into me! You idiot! If you don't want to bump into anyone, then don't take up the whole sidewalk!
Dustin: Are you calling me fat?!
Katie: Maybe I am!
Darien: (runs and stands in between them) Whoa! Okay! Settle down! No need to start a street fight from just a slight bump.
Katie: Darien, can't you see that this is none of your business?!
Darien: No! I don't! (points at each of them) You're my little sister and he's my best friend. I think that I should know what's going on and what each of your problems are!
Dustin: Well I don't think I remember letting you butt in! So butt out!
(they continue to fight like this for several hours)
Darien: All right, Katie! (grabs her by the arm) We are going home now!
Katie: Hey! I'm not done talking to your best friend yet! Can I tell him something before we leave, please?
Darien: No! We are going home this moment! Mom is going to be worried sick of us!
Katie: (pulls her arm away from his grip) So! Who the heck cares about mom right now? She has no purpose in the situation at hand!
Dustin: You should go little girl! Your mommy is calling you home for dinner! (laughs)
Katie: Fatty! Fatso! Wide Load! Godzilla!
Darien: All right, Katie! That is ENOUGH!! Both of you shut up now!! This is childish and stupid! Doesn't each of you have things and places to go to?
Dustin: (chuckles) Yeah, I don't need to spend another minute inhaling the vile air that you breathe! (walks away)
-----------------------------------
(It's the middle of the night and the others are resting from the busy day before. Sunset is still wide-awake looking through her book collection trying to figure out what kind of creature stopped the energy absorber from killing Katie. Suddenly an idea popped into her mind and she walked over to Katie's transformation pen. She tapped it once with her paw and it began to glow with a bright light.
The pen began to float in the air and over towards Katie's balcony. Sunset followed the pen outside and watched the morphing pen transform into a beautiful glowing woman wearing a flowing white dress. The young woman had long golden hair and beautiful emerald eyes. Ranging from the height of six feet and two inches she looked down at Sunset with her big emerald eyes.)
Sunset: (observed the young lady with shock) Who are you?
The young Lady: (smiled down at Sunset) Dear guardian of those in the royal court, you had chosen me long ago to become the nymph of this morphing pen. Now I am here to answer your questioning heart, Sunset, for I am Lana.
Sunset: (kneels before the nymph) Forgive me. It's been years since the Silver Millennium and my memory has slipped. If you are the nymph of Sailor Earth's morphing pen, then can you tell me what happened on the fateful day of young Katie's abduction just the other day?
Lana: (smiles sweetly at Sunset and waves her arms and above her a giant ball of energy formed to become like a television screen) Here, dear Sunset, I hold is the past of the young mistress. This sphere of energy will answer your question about the other day.
(The ball of energy began to spin and Lana lowered it to the ground so that Sunset could watch the past. As the ball was spinning, Sunset saw figures and pictures. Then they were all put together and told the story of Katie's abduction.)
Sunset: (recognizing what had happened and gasps) That light! Could it be.?
Lana: (in an undemanding voice) Yes that is the light of the planet Earth, sailor power. Since its guardian was in deep trouble and I, the morphing pen, could not be in reach the planet Earth helped out its daughter. Like all of the other Sailor Scouts from before, the sign on their foreheads that reassembles the sign of the planet and releases their guardian light. When that light shines, the planet is watching over them and strengthening them.
Sunset: So that light, is from the planet Earth? Are you trying to say that her sailor powers of Earth stepped in and with the energy from the light alarmed Katie's attackers?
Lana: (nods) Yes, these are the accounts that happened on that fateful day. And as I heard, the enemy, Nalpak, is collecting energy on their free time while they send another minion to collect the energy crystals. The energy that they collect from humans is for a different purpose. That is all I heard.
Sunset: (thankful face) Thank you so much, Lana! You have cleared questions and now I can tell Katie.!
Lana: (interrupts in a careful voice) NO! You mustn't inform the child. She has too much on her mind and must only concentrate on the energy crystals. For I know her heart and she is not ready to fight two kinds of dilemmas. I leave you now. (suddenly the nymph appeared to liquefy and transform back into the morphing pen that she was before)
Sunset: (runs over to the pen) No wait! Why can't I.? (it was too late and the nymph was now just a pen lying on the ground)
(Sunset keeps her word and brings the pen back inside and snuggles into her basket for a good night's rest.)
------------------------
(Over the night, Sunset dreams about an ancient kingdom.
The sky was so clear and unpolluted that she could easily see the moon and the billions of stars. In the distance, she saw a beautiful towering castle made of marble. In front of the castle, stood two silhouettes beside a reflection pool. One of the figures was wearing a long, wavy, satin dress. The dress had a soft blue tint and glittered in the moonbeams. Her glossy, jet-black hair flowed behind her along with her dress. A tiara of stones rested upon the crown of her head and her deep blue eyes illuminated the air around her face. The second figure wore a lengthy, golden robe of silk and two great, white, feathery wings were stationed on his upper back. His chocolate brown hair lit up with gold tints as the moonbeams danced around each strand. The pair of golden eyes on his face beamed down upon the delicate, young woman beside him.
The two of them walked along the reflection pool, hand in hand. As the young woman walked gracefully with her thin dress flowing about, she was only about inches away from the water's edge. Her counterpart flew in step with her, each wing shedding gold dust with every movement.)
Winged young man: Princess, we cannot keep doing this. It's forbidden among the elders.
Princess: What are you saying, Ichiro? Do you not love me?
Ichiro: (holds both of her hands in his) No, I love you with all of my heart for all eternity, princess. I'm saying that if we continue disobeying the law of the land, we may not be together if we are discovered.
Princess: But, are you not happy?
Ichiro: I am forever happy when I am with you, my love. But my heart aches when I think of the day that our secret passion for each other is exposed and we are forced to live separate lives.
Princess: I do not understand. Why are you telling me this now?
Ichiro: I am saying...(pauses)...no...(floats down to the ground and kneels on one knee)...I am asking. Will you marry me, princess, so that our hearts and lives will be bound together forever? (holds her left hand gently)
Princess: (covers her mouth with her other hand and tears form at her eyes) Oh, Ichiro! I love you so, and would never refuse such a question!
Ichiro: Thank you. (kisses her ring finger and a ring of pure gold appears on her finger)
(The lightweight golden ring had words written all around the band in an undecipherable language. A lily of pearl rested on the top of the ring where the center cradled a beautiful solid diamond.)
Princess: (gasps) It's beautiful, Ichiro!
Ichiro: The words on the band are hand-carved in an extinct language of my people.
Princess: (embraces him) I love it, Ichiro. It will never leave my finger.
Ichiro: (returns the embrace) I love you, Katrina.
(The now engaged couple shared a passionate kiss. In the corner of the mystical garden of the castle stood a petite woman with long, wavy, orange hair and beady, black eyes. A symbol that resembled a star resided on her forehead and she watched in shock the magical couple engage in a moment of passion.
Seconds later, a tall, slender, young woman clad in a silver laced, satin dress swiftly flew out of the castle with two enchanted, feathery wings that shed silver specks of dust as she soared through the air. Her shoulder-length black hair glistened with silver tints as she entered the moonlit garden. Two glowing silver eyes illuminated her delicate face and widened when she saw the two figures kissing in the garden.)
Winged young woman: Cousin?!
(Ichiro and the princess pull away from each other and stare at the new arrival.)
Ichiro: (shocked) Jennifer.
Jennifer: (flies over with a disappointed look) How could you, Ichiro? You know the penalty for breaking the forbidden law of our people and that still does not stop you? Our ancestor was exiled and killed and we were told repeatedly to never cross such a line. Why?
Ichiro: Because I love her, cousin. The first time I saw the princess with you down the hallway, there was a painful sensation in the core of my chest. Whenever the two of you pass by, it's hard for me to breathe and I clench my chest. I will never forget her exquisite face and soft voice however how many times I've tried to. No matter what I did to prevent myself from crossing the one line, I had already fallen miles behind it even though we had never really spoke to each other back then. When I do not see her for a day, I feel empty and when I do see her, my heart is full of warmth and my insides leap for joy. (pauses) Can't you understand that I tried to obey the elders and not follow our ancestor's demise?
Princess: (grabs the silver woman's arm) Please, my dear guardian. We love each other. You mustn't let word get out about us.
Jennifer: (pulls her arm away and starts to float away) I'm sorry dear princess, but I must tell the prince. Forgive me. (flies off)
Ichiro: NO!! STOP!! (begins to fly after her, but something holds him back) Huh?
Princess: (tears stream down her face) Ichiro, will you spend our last true moments together chasing after your cousin?
Ichiro: (realizes that she was right and that it was too late to change anything, he was doomed) I'm sorry, my love. (embraces her, kisses her, and then flies after his cousin)
Princess: ICHIRO!! COME BACK!! (falls on her knees) Come back, my love!
(Suddenly Sunset wakes up to the sound of Darien's alarm going off...)
