PGOO Act 2

**Act 2 Alexandria – Sailor Poseidon** (Act 2 アレクサドリア — セーラーポセイドン, ***Act 2 Alexandria – Sailor Poseidon***?) is the second chapter, or act, of the Underworld Arc and the second chapter of Pretty Guardians of Olympus overall.

## Plot

Eleni is standing in front of a jewelry store in her casual attire while holding Spark. The teenager is admiring the beautiful jewelry on display as Spark goes on about how Eleni could potentially balance her life as a guardian with her life as a civilian. Eleni reassures Spark and tells her not to worry because she knew what she was doing thanks to having read so many superhero comics. Spark argues with Eleni about how the comics are not real life and Eleni quips back with "this whole thing is just like a comic!" The cat is left speechless, then Eleni turns to walk down the sidewalk but bumps into a girl with short blue hair on her bike. Eleni profusely apologizes to the girl and helps her up.

The girl silently says nothing and rides off in the direction of the swimming pool. Eleni and her companion are left speechless and confused. The calico cat stares off in the direction the girl went, commenting about how she sensed something off about that girl. The ginger winces at Spark's comment, complaining that she doesn't want to have to stalk someone who may or may not be evil. Spark explains to Eleni the importance of looking into any leads about their enemies and Eleni makes a half-hearted agreement, walking home with Spark.

The next day, Eleni steps into her final class of the day and notices that the girl she bumped into the day prior was in her class. Overjoyed, Eleni sits next to the girl and introduces herself, once again apologizing. Eleni makes an internal monologue to herself that she was going to befriend this girl to prove to Spark that nothing was wrong with her. The girl grows ever more uncomfortable with Eleni's presence but shyly introduces herself as Alexandria Seaver.

The two girls have a conversation and Alexandria is now at ease with Eleni, realizing that Eleni isn't a threat or someone with ill intents. Alexandria shows Eleni a strange pen she got from the ocean the previous night after coming home from her daily swim. Cut to after class, the two are still talking and Alexandria attempts to have Eleni listen to a song that a talented singer made and gave to everyone who was swimming a few days ago. Alexandria puts the cassette for the song into the walkman and places the headphones on Eleni's head but Eleni lets out a yelp and rubs her ears. To her, it sounded like garbled up noises that were so high it hurt to listen to. The two bump into a new neighbor of Eleni, Demi Almassy. Demi introduces herself and quickly makes her exit, explaining that she had somewhere to be. Once getting outside, Alexandria goes to her bike and parts with Eleni but not after looking like something was wrong with her all of the sudden. Spark exits some bushes and asks Eleni if there was anything suspicious about Alexandria which she agrees, explaining that while Alexandria is just a shy girl who needs a friend, she seems to be a target of something evil. Eleni boards her bus with Spark following behind her and sits down next to a blond young man reading a book.

Eleni whispers to Spark who is sitting on her lap about anything Spark might've found and also voicing concerns. The young man puts down his book and looks at the two, playfully asking about if he just heard the cat speak. Eleni realizes that she is sitting next to *the* Andreas and freaks out but she is able to adamantly deny his claims of Spark being able to speak. The two have a quaint conversation on the bus until Eleni starts to rant about how she feels overwhelmed with the expectations of this world on her and if she makes one mistake, she could end up ruining everything. Andreas reassures Eleni and says that he understands how she feels with all eyes being on him to the point that his every move is examined and one mistake could ruin him (hence why he took this particular bus home). The bus nears Eleni's stop but before she can disembark, Andreas grabs her hand and tells her to stay away from "the sirens."

Eleni is let go and she gets off of her bus. Spark bluntly comments that something is strange about Andreas, too, and Eleni quips that it is because he's beautiful inside and out. Spark rolls her eyes but does admit that perhaps she is on edge because he seems so perfect to an unreal degree. Spark gives Eleni the Disguise Compact and tells her how to use it.

Eleni hurries to the recreation center and notices sickly people wearing swimsuits enter the recreation center. Spark tells Eleni to use her disguise compact which she does and disguises herself as a swimmer. Eleni hurries into the recreation center with Spark in a gym bag.

Alexandria, meanwhile, snaps out of her strange state once she got into the pool and placed her pen down on the deck. The Aquatic Druid makes their appearance and asks her why she broke free. She grows incredibly distressed and is attacked by the monster attempting to drown her as it lets out a shrill, hypnotic shriek.

However, Alexandria is unfazed by the water and she starts to control the water around her to try to get the monster off of her. Luckily, Eleni gets into the room and tells the Druid to leave Alexandria and all of the innocent people who are slowly coming in alone. The Druid is confused and starts its hypnotic shriek at Eleni which leaves Alexandria able to escape back onto dry land. The shriek has no affect on Eleni because she plugs her ears but it does hurt her ears. The monster grows angry and slams the teen through a glass window into the hallway.

The monster returns its attention to Alexandria who gets angry with the monster despite her frightened state. Alexandria unknowingly begins to cause the ground to shake with her anger. Sailor Olympus at that very moment makes her appearance on the scene and attempts to use "Olympus Tiara Discus," which fails as the monster avoids the attack and dives into the pool. While in the pool, it lets out a hypersonic shriek that sends a massive wave crashing onto Sailor Olympus.

The druid gets out of the pool and lets out more hypersonic shrieks to make the glass in the room shatter which would make escape for anyone pointless and to also damage the lights. Luckily, Alexandria is able to pick up a chair and tosses it into the monster with her full might. Spark notices a trident mark appear on Alexandria and shouts for her to take the pen she got from the sea and transform. Alexandria is confused but picks up the pen and transforms into her Sailor Guardian form using "Poseidon Power, Make Up." Sailor Poseidon wastes no second in fighting the monster. After a few hits to the monster, she finishes it off Stabilizing Tsunami. With the smoke cleared and the Druid defeated, the monster's victims regain awareness of their actions and are justifiably confused. Sailor Olympus hurries over to her new ally and gives her a big hug, congratulating her and thanking her for her help.

Elsewhere, a shadowed out man is being told off by a woman with snowy white hair. She is very upset with him and tells him that his energy collection strategy was more poorly executed than his comrade's previous attempt to get energy. He explains curtly that he actually got more energy from being subtle about it for a long time. The same woman from the previous chapter then appears and bluntly comments that they're going to need to find a better way to exterminate of the Sailor Guardians. The white haired woman is further enraged and grabs the face of the other woman–Dark Underworld. The woman chastises Dark Underworld for failure to even get rid of the mangy calico cat (Spark) and now they all have a new enemy to worry about.

The chapter ends with Spark giving the two Sailor Guardians their communicators.
