PGOO Act 3

**Act 3 Mia – Sailor Ares** (Act 3 ミア — セーラーアレス, ***Act 3 Mia – Sailor Ares***?) is the third chapter, or act, of the Underworld Arc and the third chapter of Pretty Guardians of Olympus overall.

## Plot

The chapter starts with a brunette in the Prometheus Academy uniform walking through the school courtyard. Suddenly, a ball goes flying at her but she luckily catches it and shouts at the freshmen that haphazardly tossed it in her direction. She tells them to be more careful in the future and throws the ball back at them. One of the freshmen mutters to his friends about her. She tenses up but brushes the comment off. The trips over Eleni, Alexandria, and Diane on the ground. Alexandria is the first to apologize and checks to see if the girl is fine. Eleni complains about Alexandria not caring and Alexandria groans. The brunette quickly rises to her feet and apologizes. Diane quickly points out that the brunette's hand is bleeding which causes her to freak out. Eleni gets up and says she's taking the bleeding teen with her to the nurse's office as an apology for sitting in the middle of the courtyard. The two leave to go to the nurse's office and engage in small talk.

The brunette introduces herself as Mia Hernandez and Eleni introduces herself. Eleni thinks to herself about how pretty Mia's auburn hair is. The two reach the office and talk to the nurse. Cut to after school and Eleni is packing up her bags while talking to Alexandria. Alexandria quietly points out the new student in their class that's a grade higher than them. The blue haired teen states that there's something off about the new student, pointing at said student as she packs her bags. Eleni shrugs off Alexandria's concerns saying, "I think she's just shy, that's all." The duo leave their classroom and Eleni spots Mia in the hall so Eleni calls out Mia's name and waves to her. Eleni introduces Mia to Alexandria. Alexandria is notably hesitant to speak to Mia which frustrates Eleni.

Mia attempts to make her leave but Eleni invites her over to her house for a movie night she was going to have with Alexandria (Diane is implied to be busy). The auburn haired young woman tries to decline but decides to go with it, thinking to herself about how her family would be happy to hear that she made some friends. The trio go to Eleni's house but Eleni's guardians are at work. Spark enters the room and stares wide-eyed at Mia which makes Mia very uncomfortable. Mia bluntly comments about the freaky cat. Without warning, Spark motions for Eleni to follow her. However, Eleni refuses and instead asks Mia for her opinion on the mysterious Sailors Olympus and Poseidon.

Mia bluntly states that she thinks they're just glamorized vigilantes doing illegal actions in the name of doing the job of law enforcement. Eleni nervously changes the topic and they start the movie, making jokes and chatting while watching it. Spark freaks out Mia by staring at her most of the time. After the movie, Mia leaves Eleni's house to head home. Meanwhile, Alexandria chastises Spark's rude behavior towards Mia but Spark brushes it off and states that she believes that Mia is a new potential ally. Spark then tells the girls that they should check out anyone suspicious in town tomorrow. Alexandria, before leaving, says that the new girl is suspicious and they should check her out which Eleni reluctantly complies with.

Back to Mia, Mia is approached by a strange woman and a strange man selling candy at this late hour. The couple makes wild claims of the candy be a miracle cure for hunger, sorrow, and will make dreams come true. Mia quickly shuts them down and hurries home. Upon getting home, she finds her dad and grandfather waiting for her. Titus expresses worry and disappointment in Mia not telling him where she was after school but Mia tells the men that she was having a movie night with some friends from school. Titus is still worried and skeptical but doesn't pry; meanwhile his father-in-law does not care where Mia was and is instead more interested in trying to get her to eat the candy he bought earlier. The same candy the suspicious couple was selling.

The teenager dismisses her grandfather, saying that she's tired and already had way too many sweets that night. She goes up to her room and goes to bed. The next morning is full of chaos with the Hernandez family (except for Mia) coming down with a strange bug. However, Mia goes to school at her father's request but Mia points out that something nefarious is behind this. At school, many students are missing and are out sick. There is barely any teachers, either.

Eleni and Alexandria follow the new girl around the school throughout the morning but Eleni blows their cover and approaches the new girl. The girl invites the new student to have lunch with her, Alexandria, Mia, and Diane which the new girl hesitantly agrees to much to Alexandria's shock. Cut to lunch, and Eleni asks their lunch guest to introduce herself and she introduces herself as Macaria Fata. The girls spend some time getting to know each other and engaging in small talk.

A few days later, Mia finds the cause for the sickness--the candies--and she attempts to destroy them but is stopped by a fiery hand grabbing her wrist. Spark senses a Druid's appearance and ushers Alexandria and Eleni to stop it. A Druid emerges from the candy and attacks Mia with the goal in mind to force her to eat the candy. Mia holds her own against the Druid but the Druid begins to burn parts of the Hernandez household and even attempts to burn the grandfather of the family but it is stopped by Sailor Poseidon. Sailor Olympus attempts to finish the monster off but the monster sinks into the candy and travels to the other part of the house that has some candy, Mia's brother's room. Mia hurries to his room and finds the Druid in the process of prepping to burn Milo with the rest of the house, stating that the Hernandez family has served their purpose for its master.

Just before the Druid burns Milo, Mia jumps in front of her older brother and has her arms burnt. However, Spark finds her and points out the mark of Ares on Mia, directing Mia to use a pen that Spark tosses to her to transform by saying "Ares Power, Make Up!" Mia reluctantly does so and transforms into Sailor Ares for the first time. Sailor Olympus and Sailor Poseidon arrive to Milo's room to find their new ally.

Sailor Ares forces the monster out of her house by getting it out through her brother's bedroom window. Sailor Ares follows after the Druid and finishes it off quickly with "Burning Battle Courage." The destruction of the Druid causes the candies to be destroyed and everyone in Mytikas is miraculously healed. However, Sailor Ares comments on the lack of pain in her arms from the burns. Spark reveals that Mia's transformation had healed her. Sailor Olympus voices her excitement with getting a third ally and Sailor Poseidon thanks Sailor Ares for the help and congratulates her.

Meanwhile, the villains are gathered and Shuudorl whines about how their Druid was destroyed because of Bellatrix's plan failing. Dark Underworld states that she is close to finding the Sailor Guardians' true identities and destroying them. Aeschylus teases his ally over this but she angrily ignores him. Dark Underworld tells Shuudorl to use their Soul Scavenger to find an oracle she believes is in Mytikas and to retrieve the oracle.

The chapter ends with girls cleaning up Mia's house.
