| The Queen, or the Princess? Chibiusa was standing in a pitch black room. There was no light, no sound, it was nothingness. "�come to me�" A voice said. "�if you look, you will find me�if you don�t�I will find you�" she looked for the voice but saw nothing. Then, Sailor Saturn appeared before her, she spoke. "I love you odango, I always will. Know that, and you will remain unharmed." She started to disappear. "Hotaru, don�t go, don�t leave me�alone," Chibiusa tried to run, but could not move her legs. "Wake up Chibiusa, time for school," She woke with a start. She felt that something was not right, she looked around, looking for Hotaru. She then remembered, that Hotaru went with her parents on vacation. Chibiusa saw her future-mother standing in the threshold. Lhy poked his head in, still putting on his tie. "Hurry up, sleepyhead, I need to get going. I�m meeting the publisher today, we are talking about my new book�Where are they," Lhy looked around for his glasses. Usagi pulled them down from on top of his head, then gave him a quick kiss. They walked away. "OUCH," a small voice said, Chibiusa felt a lump under her. "OOPS, sorry Diana," Chibiusa rolled off the bed, and the poor kitten ran off. Chibiusa walked over to her dresser, and pulled out her normal school uniform. She pulled it on, but it got stuck over her head. "Still having trouble with that I see," a familiar voice came from behind her, and her hair was let down by to, equally familiar, hands. "Hotaru, your back," Chibiusa squealed with glee. She wrapped her arms around the other girl, holding her in a warm embrace. "Yes, I am back," Hotaru answered, kissing Chibiusa gently on her brow. A voice came from the other room, it was Lhy, "Five minutes, Chibiusa." Chibiusa finished getting dressed, then her and Hotaru walked into the living room, holding each other. "Lets get going," the walked out, and got in Lhy�s convertible. They drove up to the school, and got out. Chibiusa could not get the dream out of her head, the whole day. They were walking through the park, after school. "I have to go back to the beach house with my parents tomorrow," Hotaru said, sorrowfully. "Well, at least we could spend school together, and the night," Chibiusa replied. "Yeah, I guess�is something wrong??" Hotaru asked. "No, I�m OK," It was a lie, but she did not want to tell Hotaru what was wrong. She felt a great power pulling at her, from inside. "Lets get home, I�m starved," she said, hiding her emotions. * * * "�come to me�" Chibiusa heard the voice again. Her eyes snapped open, and she, walked out of the house, toward the park. Hotaru had left that day, and Chibiusa had been sleeping. "�Come to me, don�t try to resist�" she walked forward, not able to move on her own. She stopped, not moving an inch. The air went completely black, and she could move again. "Your here, finally, the spell can be started." An evil looking monster appeared in front of Chibiusa. "Who are you, and where am I?" Chibiusa asked in terror. "He, he, he, you need not know who I am, but you are in a dream dimension, now you must sleep, or our spell can not be completed." "No, I won�t sleep, I�m not being used as a spell component," Chibiusa yelled, as the creature lurched toward her. "Moon Prism power," her costume flew on her, and she jumped back. "We must complete the spell, we must get the power of the moon princess� for Mystery Phoenix. Guards, put her in the tube." Two creatures walked forward, about to grab Chibimoon. "Pink, sugar, heart, attack!" a volley of pink, hollow hearts flew from the tip of her scepter. It hit one, but did nothing. They grabbed Chibimoon, and dragged her over to a big tube. She fought to get free, but it was no use. She was stuck in the big, glass, coffin. She was tired, but had to stay awake, not knowing what might happen. "Now to get the princess of this time." Chibiusa sat there, waiting. Then she remembered, Perreru�s flute. Luna jumped off the bed, just as Usagi turned over, almost on top of her. "I�m getting better at that." The cat thought to herself. She heard a faint scratching sound from outside the door. She walked over to the door and unlocked the cat flap, Diana jumped in. "Luna, there is a problem," the little kitten said, "I woke up, and Chibiusa was gone. The door to her room was open, so I got out, to tell you." "Oh dear, that sounds bad," Luna said, walking over to Usagi. "Wake up, wake up," she tried to get Usagi up, but she kept sleeping. "I hate to have to do this," Luna climbed up to Usagi�s neck and, "OUCH, Luna, why did you scratch me, I was sleeping, don�t do that again." "Chibiusa is missing," Luna screamed out. "What??" they told her the story, while she got dressed. "We have to find her, where could she be?" She ran to the door, about to go outside. "You won�t find her out there," a voice said behind her. She turned around and saw the dream elf, Perreru standing there. "Perreru, what are you doing here?" Usagi asked. "Chibiusa is in danger, but she is not in this dimension," the boy said, "I was watching over Chibiusa�s dream, and something happened, I got forced out, like she had awaken, but she had not. Then, about 5 minutes later, I saw her get up, and walk away. I felt an evil presence in the air. I followed her, and she dissapeared when she was in the park. She stood there, then was gone. Then I heard my flute being played. I went to the sound, and saw her, stuck in some tube, surrounded by guards. I overheard them talking about a "Mystery Phoenix" and getting the "present and future" princesses together." "They must be trying to take our power to give it to this "Mystery Phoenix" person. I have heard of it before. The other day, a monstr attacked us and said he would take me and Chibiusa to that person." Usagi said, thinking. She called Rei on her wrist comunicator, and set up an emergency meeting. "What are we going to do?" Usagi asked. "Poor Chibiusa, we have to go get her," Ami replyed. "I could get one person there, but not all of you," Perreru said to the group. "I can halp with that," Setsuna walked in, "I can open a portal to the demension, so you can get there." "It�s settled then, lets go." Usagi demanded, "Moon, Crisis, power!" "Mercury, star, power!" "Mars, star, power!" "Jupiter, star, power!" "Venus, star, power!" "Saturn, star, power!" Perreru started playing his flute, while Saturn intensified the energy, and made a portal. "I�ll stay behind to maintain the portal, go." Saturn said to them. They steed in, and were brought to a dark, evil place. "This way," Perreru called to them. They soon saw a group of monsters, and a tube. In the tube was Chibimoon, fighting to stay awake. "Don�t fight it, we know you are tired, just�go to sleep." "No, fight it Chibimoon. You can�t fall asleep," Perreru yelled to her. The monsters turned around and saw them. "Ah, the Princess. You are here, finaly. Now the spell can be complete. Guards, attack. "I think not, Mars, fire, ignite," a fireball flew towards one of the beasts, but only phased it. "Supreme thunder," Jupiter hurled a massive lightning ball at the other. Throwing it backwards. "Venus, love me, chain," the chain wrapped around the first guards legs, and tripped him. Then the second guard shot out a massive shockwave, knocking everyone to the ground. Perreru started playing his flute, to stop the golems. One threw a rock at him, but missed, then it threw another, while the first did the same. Perreru dodged the first, but the other was headed straight for him, and he could not move in time. Then, the rock was destroyed, and a dagger stuck in the ground, near where the pieces were. Perreru looked up, just as Sunfire Slash jumped down. "AHHHH," Sailor moon screamed. They looked over just in time to see her get dragged into a tube, like the one Chibimoon was in. he jumped forward, ready to attack. He was knocked back. He threw a few daggers, but they did nothing. "Are these girls really that important to you?" the monster asked. "You can try to save one, but when you do, the other will be forced asleep, and taken to Mystery Phoenix, to be absorbed." He tried again, but the guards were to powerful. "Sunfire saber, ignite," his weapon apeared in his hand, as he lunged at one of the guards. He slashed off an arm and a head. "Sunfire blaze," the attack demolished the other one, giving him clear access to either tube. "Which one should I�" His mind raced. He ws stuck with a disision that would end a loved one�s life. "I�I can�t choose. Chibimoon is the Future princess, but if I save her, she will never be born, but if I save Moon, then I would have known that something bad would happen, and bring her back before now." His mind was at war, there was no wining for either side. Then� "I�m sorry, Chibimoon. I have to do this." He ran over to the tube that Sailor moon was in, and destroyed it. Letting her out. Chibimoon was slaming on the glass, crying her head off. Gas entered the tube, and she was falling asleep. "No, Chibiusa!!!" Moon screamed. "Moon, Saturn, Heart, Attack," the tube shattered into peices. Moon Guardian flew down and scooped up the sleeping girl. She walked over to Sailor Moon, and gave Chibiusa to her. "You are a monster. You and your master will pay for trying to harm this girl. I am Moon Guardian, the protector of the Future Moon Queen. You disgust me." "Master wills it for the Princesses to be brought to her, I must do what she says." "No you don�t, HAAA," she jumped forward, and slashed at the monster. Turning it into a pile of dust. She stood back up, and walked over to the rest of the scouts. Chibimoon opened her eyes. "S�Saturn?" She asked, looking at the other girl, "Saturn, you saved me," Chibimoon wraped her arms around Moon Guardian. "I was so scared that I would die, I thought I would never see you again." "It�s ok, I�m here for you," Moon Guardian said to her pink haired friend. Suddenly, her costume reverted to the normal Senshi costume. "I think not," a loud voice yelled. They turned around and saw a familiar sight. Continued in next story |
