Sailor Iron Mouse seeks a Star Seed for Sailor Galaxia. While walking through a forest not far from Tokyo, Sailor Iron Mouse finds a target. A very strange woman. Her hair is short and pink, her eyes are ruby red and she is dressed as a witch. Long black dress and a slightly curved hat. Sailor Iron Mouse approaches her making as little noise as possible. She wanted to attack her from behind.
"Who's there?" Said the pink haired woman as she turned sharply to Sailor Iron Mouse.
A large drop appears on Sailor Iron Mouse's forehead, but she pulls herself together.
"Ha ha ha! You miserable human, you don't know who you're up against!"
"Really?"
"I’m Sailor Iron Mouse! In Sailor Galaxia’s name, your Star Seed is mine!"
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm not afraid of you!"
The woman clasps her hands together, says a magic spell in a language that sounds like Latin, and a fireball appears. The fireball rushes toward Sailor Iron Mouse but she avoids it.
"HUH?! But what are you, exactly? A real witch? A Sailor Guardian?"
"I'm Rubis, Exatron’s Water Sage!"
"A what? From where?"
"PREPARE YOURSELF! "
Rubis prepares another attack, this time involving water, but Sailor Iron Mouse is faster. She lifts her arms, holding them together. The stones in her gold bracelets glow.
"TAKE THIS!"
From the bracelets' stones come two yellow orbs. They pierce Rubis' body. Rubis screams at the top of her lungs as her life energy is drained and her Star Seed appears. Sailor Iron Mouse smiles. As Rubis' lifeless body falls to the ground, Sailor Iron Mouse grabs her Star Seed. It glows with a strange light. It's different from a True Star Seed, the ones Sailor Galaxia wants, but it's not an ordinary Star Seed because it doesn't turn black. Sailor Iron Mouse thinks this is strange, but a Star Seed is a Star Seed.
Just as she is about to teleport to Sailor Galaxia, a sword blade clings to the flesh on her neck. Someone caught her from behind!
"AHHH!"
"You!" Says an angry female voice. "What did you do to Rubis?"
"I... Who are you?"
"Answer my question!"
"Not until you tell me your name!"
"I am Mercuria from Exatron, the last of the Sorce-Blade! Now what have you done to my friend?"
"Well... she's dead."
"WHAT?"
Mercuria's blade spills a little blood. Sailor Iron Mouse panics.
"NOOOOO, don't kill me! Here, take her Star Seed and let me go!"
"Her what?"
"Her Star Seed. Give it back to her and she will come back to life."
"Do you think I'll believe such rubbish? The dead cannot resurrect!"
"But I'm telling the truth! Here." Sailor Iron Mouse raises her hand holding Rubis' Star Seed up. "Take it and remove your sword from my neck."
Mercuria takes the Star Seed and releases Sailor Iron Mouse. Sailor Iron Mouse watches this other strange woman as she approaches Rubis. She has long blond hair, blue eyes, she has a headband on her forehead. She's wearing an outfit and a cape straight out of a medieval movie. Panic and fear leave Sailor Iron Mouse. A smile forms on her face. While Mercuria is distracted, she can steal her Star Seed. Sailor Iron Mouse raises her arms and holds them together. The stones in her gold bracelets glow.
Suddenly, Mercuria turns her head toward Sailor Iron Mouse. She stares at her with one eye, say three words in an unknown language, and a magical tornado appears. The tornado traps Sailor Iron Mouse. Sailor Iron Mouse yells and she vanishes, teleporting away. Mercuria turns her head to her friend. She places the Star Seed on Rubis' body. The Star Seed enters her and Rubis comes back to life. She opens her red eyes.
"Huh? Mercuria?"
"Rubis! You're okay!"
"Yes, I... what happened to me? It's like... I've been killed, and where is Sailor Iron Mouse?"
"She fled. Rubis, I don't think we're in Exatron anymore."
Rubis nods her head.
"It's another world. How did we get here? Do you remember anything?"
"No." Mercuria said sadly. "But everything will be fine, as long as we stay together. Come on, let's get out of this forest."
Rubis gets up. The Sorce-Blade and the Water Sage start walking.
