The Four Elements
Part One: A Mysterious New Sensei and the Four Fairies
By
Angel Raye
The woman walked along the streets of Crystal Tokyo. She was a very beautiful woman with long red hair and green eyes. She held an air of mystery about her.
She had only just arrived in Crystal Tokyo a couple of days ago. She had a purpose that brought her here. She couldn't tell anyone about it. In time she would reveal herself.
Crystal Tokyo Elementary School came to view. She stopped right in front of it. she told herself.
"Annika hurry up," Raye called. "You're going to be late."
"I'm coming Mama," Annika yelled as she grabbed up her summer homework. She didn't want to forget anything.
Raye appeared in the doorway of Annika's room. "Have you got everything," she asked.
"Yes Mama," Annika replied with a soft sigh. Part of her didn't want to go back to school.
Raye was not oblivious to her daughter's feelings. "What is it Sweetheart?"
"It was so nice not seeing Miyaki for a whole month," Annika told her.
"I agree there," Raye sighed. She wrapped her arms around her daughter. "Maybe in April when you go up to the fourth grade she won't be in your class."
"That's still a long way off," Annika muttered.
"True," Raye admitted. She smiled and ran her fingers through Annika's violet tresses. "Come on we need to go and meet everyone."
Annika nodded and picked up the ceramic vase she had made as part of her summer homework. She thought it turned out very well. A couple of days ago she had to help Gloria with hers. Gloria was not very artistic. Annika gave a small chuckle. As usual Gloria was grounded because of a gag love letter she had written the other day. The love letter had gotten loose and caused a huge stir. Mina had been furious when she found out her daughter was the cause of all this. Making sure she had everything Annika followed her mother out the door.
"Daisy I've told you not yet," Maggie said in exasperation as she girls walked to school.
"But I thought I saw something," Daisy wailed as she looked down at her chest which was still flat.
"Daisy don't be in such a hurry," Rini advised her. "I promise you'll start developing soon."
"But I'm eleven," Daisy wailed. "What is taking so long?"
"You only just turned eleven," Rini pointed out. "Just be patient and it will happen."
"That's easy for you to say," Daisy retorted. "You're fifteen."
Rini sighed. She decided not to say anymore. She had other things like this high school entrance exam to study for.
The younger girls were walking ahead. "I'm so glad you're coming back to school Ariel," Madelyn was saying.
"Are you glad to be coming back," Hope asked.
Ariel shrugged her shoulders. While the other girls had been out for a month Ariel had been away for over two months with Amy home schooling her in between therapy sessions. Ariel was still on very shaky ground but Amy decided to try her back on regular routine. However, the school agreed to contact Amy should there be any problems.
"You're very quiet Hope," Faith observed. "What's up?"
"The ocean is restless," Hope replied. "Something is going to happen."
"Oh great," Gloria grumbled. "I'm grounded and now I am going to be facing an enemy soon."
"We don't know that for sure," Rini reminded her. "Why don't we enjoy the peace we have now?" Everyone nodded in agreement and continued their walk to school.
At Crystal Tokyo Elementary Annika, Gloria, Ariel and Hope walked into their classroom. To Annika's dismay she saw that Miyaki was in charge of getting the classroom ready for the day.
"Well, well the crybaby is back," Miyaki, sneered. "I would have thought that maybe they put you back down in kindergarten instead of letting you finish third grade."
"If anyone needs to get put back in Kindergarten it's you Miyaki," Hope snapped. "Grow up."
Miyaki glared at her. She then noticed Ariel, "So the freak is back too. Where were you? You missed an entire month."
"Leave her alone," Gloria stepped in front of Ariel.
Before the argument could continue the door opened and the principal came walking in. Everyone sat down. "Welcome back Minna," he announced. "I came to tell you that Ms. Patterson isn't returning as your third grade teacher." Murmurs were heard throughout the room. The principal continued. "She has been accepted to study abroad in America. A new teacher will be with you." A woman walked through the door. She was tall with long red hair and green eyes.
Hope thought.
Annika asked herself. She smiled.
"This is Kadiri Mishima," the principal announced. "She will be your teacher. Please greet her properly."
"Good morning Mishima-sensei," the class called out.
"Good morning," Kadiri replied. She smiled around the room. Her gaze stopped briefly on Hope and then again on Annika. she thought.
"So what's this new teacher of yours like," Faith asked during lunch later that day.
"She's really nice," Ariel stated.
"And so beautiful," Hope added.
"But I felt so strange with her," Annika murmured.
"Strange in what way," Gloria asked.
"I felt very warm inside," Annika replied.
"I felt like that too," Hope gasped. "I felt very warm and safe with her."
"I'm glad you feel that way," a voice from behind them said. The girls turned around and saw Kadiri standing there.
"Mishima-sensei," Ariel gasped.
Kadiri smiled at the girls. "Ariel Mizuno, Annika Hino, Gloria Aino, Hope and Faith Ten'noh," she said. Everyone gave a gasp. "I look forward to getting to know all of you." She knelt down and took Annika's and Hope's hands. She also looked into Faith's eyes. "You three get ready for some challenges." With that said Kadiri walked away.
"What did she mean," Gloria asked.
"I don't know," Faith replied. She looked at Hope and Annika. The three girls wondered what this mysterious teacher meant.
In the fairy world four fairies gathered together before the fairy queen. They were Faia, the fairy of fire, Kaisui, the fairy of water, Chi, the fairy of earth, and Uindo, the fairy of wind. They were the fairies of the four elements of earth.
"We have trouble," the fairy queen told them. "The evil queen of the dark realm, Hakai has returned. She is out to destroy you. If that happens then the earth will be destroyed."
"Then we can't let her get us," Faia replied. "We must find a place to hide. We are the four fairies of the elements of earth. Hakai must not find us."
"But where can we hide," asked Chi.
Kaisui thought hard for a moment and then stated, "Remember when Aurora hid the pearl of friendship?"
"Yes," Uindo recalled. "She hid it in a small child who was a Sailor Senshi."
"Each Sailor Senshi and Chibi Senshi represent something," Kaisui continued. "There is one for each of the elements. We could hide in the one who represents our elements."
"That's an idea," the queen stated. "Aurora said that the child she hid the pearl in was very trustworthy. She is also the Chibi Senshi of fire whom you would want to hide in Faia."
I think we should hide in them but not let them know of it," Kaisui told them. "That way our hiding places will be truly secret."
"What about our powers," Uindo asked.
"Our powers will merge with theirs,' Kaisui replied. "They will help us fight."
"Your majesty," Faia turned to the queen. "Is this permissible?"
"Yes," the queen replied. "Go my children and take care."
The four fairies of the elements nodded and vanished.
Annika lay sleeping in her bed. Kadiri's words had been in her head all day. She had talked to Raye about it and she could not shed any light on the situation. Annika had decided she really liked her new teacher though. She felt very safe and warm with her.
Faia appeared in the room. She gazed down at the sleeping child and the small pink kitten beside her. "Aurora tells me you have a sweet soul," Faia whispered. "I will be hiding inside of you. You will not be aware of me but I will protect you and help you in battle." Faia murmured some more words. She began to shimmer. In a few minutes she was shimmering right over Annika. Then she entered Annika's body and vanished from sight.
Annika sat up with a start. "Mama," she murmured and got up. She began wondering into the hall.
Raye was awakened suddenly too. Her maternal instinct told her to go and check on Annika. She pulled on her robe and went out into the hall. She found Annika standing there with a dazed look on her face. "Annika are you okay Baby," Raye asked. Annika did not reply. Raye knelt down in front of her daughter. "Did you hear me Sweetheart?" Annika still did not reply. Raye decided that Annika was still asleep. "Come on Baby let's get you back to bed," she told her. She picked Annika up and was shocked at how hot the child felt. "Kami-sama," she gasped. "You're burning up." Raye quickly carried Annika to her bed and tucked her in. She ran a hand over Annika's forehead. It was hot. Raye went to her room the get the thermometer and then came back. She took Annika's temperature and was surprised when it showed normal. "But why are you so hot," she asked. She reached for Annika's communicator and called Amy.
Amy arrived at Mars's quarters with a sleeping Ariel in her arms. Greg had night duty in the control room. "What's the problem Raye," Amy asked as she gently laid Ariel on the couch.
"Annika is burning up," Raye told her. "I checked her temperature and it was normal but I can't figure out why she is so hot."
"Honestly Raye couldn't this have waited until morning," Amy asked in annoyance. "If she doesn't have a temperature then there is nothing to worry about."
"It's not just that but she was walking around in a daze when I found her," Raye replied.
"You're so overprotective," Amy pointed out as she walked into Annika's room.
"You can be too," Raye shot out.
Amy sat down by Annika and placed a hand on her forehead. "She is hot," Amy exclaimed. "But you said there is no fever."
"That's right," Raye replied.
"Well her color is fine too," Amy stated as she ran a hand over Annika's head. "She may just be overheated." Amy pulled one of the blankets off of Annika. "There is nothing to worry about. She's sleeping peacefully. If she feels sick in the morning bring her to me and I will check her out."
"Thank you Amy," Raye sighed. She watched as Amy picked Ariel up and carry her out the door. Then she went back into Annika's room and crawled into bed next to her. Raye did not know why but she had this need to stay close to Annika.
Hope and Faith were both sleeping peacefully when Kaisui and Uindo appeared in their room. Kaisui flew over to Hope. "I hide in this one," she stated. "I'm afraid I am going to get her wet when I hide in her."
"Mine will feel a blast of cold air but then she will be fine," Uindo said. She glanced over at her comrade. "Are you ready?"
"Yes," Kaisui replied. The two of them closed their eyes and began to murmur some words. Then they both began to shimmer. In a few minutes they shimmered over the girls and entered them, vanishing from sight.
Hope was awakened by a splash of water being dumped on her. She sat up with a start and saw that she was wet. "Faith," she shouted.
"Nani," Faith murmured sleepily as she pulled her blankets around her body to protect herself from the cold breeze she just felt.
"Don't pretend you've been asleep all of this time," Hope yelled. "You just dumped water on me."
"I did not," Faith snapped as she awakened from her sleep.
"Yes you did," Hope shouted. "You're the only one in here and I'm all wet."
"Then you did it yourself," Faith shouted back. "Because I didn't do it."
"Then who did," Hope screamed.
At that moment the door to their room opened and Michiru and Haruka came in. "Girls," Haruka snapped. "It's two in the morning. What's with all the noise?"
"And why are you all wet Hope," Michiru demanded as she pulled the wet child off of the bed.
"Faith dumped water on me," Hope replied.
"I didn't do it," Faith cried out. She turned to her parents. "Honestly Haruka-papa and Michiru-mama. I've been sleeping all of this time. I didn't do it."
"Then how did Hope get water all over her," Haruka asked in a skeptical voice.
"I don't know," Faith replied.
"Well let's discuss this in the morning," Michiru stated as she began stripping Hope's wet bed. "It's late and you girls have school tomorrow." Once Hope's bed was dried and she was in dry clothes Michiru and Haruka tucked the girls back into bed.
"Now not another sound from you two or there will be even bigger trouble in the morning," Haruka commanded sternly as she and Michiru left.
Hope thought angrily as she settled down to sleep.
Faith thought with a huff as she pulled her blankets around her. For some reason she was feeling very cold.
Chi materialized in Rini's room. The teenager was asleep in her bed with Diana curled up beside her. Chi gazed at the princess. "You've hidden someone inside of you before," she whispered. "But you won't know about me. I will give you stronger powers. There is no Chibi Senshi of earth but since you're the daughter of the prince of earth you are the logical choice." Chi hovered over Rini for a moment and mumbled some words. In a few minutes she shimmered and entered Rini's body.
Rini awoke with a start. She had a strong sensation that someone was in the room with her. She reached over and turned on her lamp.
"Small Lady," Diana exclaimed as she woke up.
"Sorry Diana," Rini mumbled as she got up. She walked over to her vanity table and gazed at herself in the mirror. Her long pink tresses fell loosely around her face. Her fiery red eyes still held traces of sleep in them. Rini stared at herself closely. There was something different. "I feel like there's another person with me," she whispered. She stumbled back to bed and lay down. In a few minutes she was back to sleep.
Hakai was furious. She had plans to capture the fairies of the four elements but now they were hiding. "I planned to capture the world," she shouted in rage. "Without the four elements I cannot do it."
Hakai turned to her minions. "Once I capture the fairies of the four elements I can continue with my quest to destroy the world." She thought for a moment and then yelled out, "Nikushimi!"
A small dark soldier came forward. She was one of Hakai's warriors. "Yes Hakai," she replied.
"You're with me on this plan to destroy earth aren't you," Hakai snapped.
"I am," Nikushimi assured her.
"Then go out and find the people these fairies are hiding in," Hakai ordered. "And make it quick. I won't tolerate failure." Nikushimi nodded and disappeared.
"You know I really like Mishima-sensei," Annika proclaimed happily on the way home from school the next day.
"So do I," Hope agreed. "She's really nice."
"She's all right for a teacher," Gloria muttered.
"So Faith did you really dump water on your sister last night," Daisy asked.
"No I didn't," Faith snapped.
"Then how did I get so wet," Hope demanded.
"I don't know," Faith replied. "I felt a blast of cold air around that time."
"Mama told me that I was wondering around in my sleep last night," Annika suddenly piped up. "She said I was really hot too."
"I was awakened suddenly last night," Rini added. "I looked in the mirror and I felt like I wasn't alone in the room."
"Did anyone else have a strange thing happen to them last night," Hope asked. The other girls shook their heads.
"It's probably nothing," Rini shrugged her shoulders. "We had better get home. I have to study for this high school entrance exam and I know Ariel has therapy. Right?" Ariel nodded her head. She was still pretty withdrawn. "Then we had better get going because Amy will be looking for two of us." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Oh," Maggie suddenly exclaimed. "I promised Papa I would pick something up from the store. You go on ahead and I'll catch up."
"Okay," Rini called and she and the girls walked on ahead.
Maggie dashed over toward the store. Suddenly a flash of light appeared in front of her. "Nani," she stammered.
"I am looking for the fairies of elements," Nikushimi declared. "And I will tear apart every person to find them."
Maggie thought in terror as she reached for her henshin wand. Before she had a chance to transform she found her arms and legs bound together. Maggie screamed in terror.
"Now little girl," Nikushimi laughed. "Let's check you out." She held up her hand and Maggie suddenly felt a rumbling pain going through her. Maggie screamed in pain. "It doesn't look like any of them are hiding in you," Nikushimi sighed. "So I will have to dispose of you."
"Hold it right there," shouted a voice. Nikushimi turned and saw Sailor Cosmic Moon and the Chibi Senshi surrounding her. "How dare you hurt a girl who is just running an errand for her father. I am the agent of love and justice, a pretty soldier in a sailor suit, Sailor Cosmic Moon. In the name of the moon I will punish you."
"And we are," shouted the Chibi Senshi. "The Chibi Senshi and we will punish you too."
"We seem to have some annoyances," sighed Nikushimi. She held up her staff and it began to glow. A youma materialized in front of her. "Get them my youma." With that she disappeared.
"Hey finish what you've started," Chibi Venus demanded.
The youma growled and headed toward the Chibi Senshi. Chibi Jupiter powered up. "JUPITER DEADLY LIGHTENING BOLT!" Her attack flew out and hit the youma. It didn't do anything. "Impossible," Chibi Jupiter gasped.
"This youma is stronger than previous enemies," Chibi Mercury shouted as she typed in data on her computer.
"Is there any way we can defeat it," asked Chibi Saturn as she held up her glaive.
"I'm trying to figure it out," Chibi Mercury shouted back.
Suddenly the youma held up its hand and a binding chain flew out. It wrapped itself around Cosmic Moon and the Chibi Senshi. They all began screaming as it began to swing them around. None of them could get free.
"Minna," Maggie called weakly as she passed out.
"Maggie," Cosmic Moon screamed as she struggled to get free.
Chibi Mars, Chibi Neptune, Chibi Uranus and Cosmic Moon heard a voice in their heads. To the three Chibi Senshi the voice sounded very familiar.
Chibi Mars thought to herself.
From inside Chibi Mars Faia activated her powers. Chibi Mars powered up. "SUPREME FIREY EXPLOSION!" A large explosion hit and the chain scattered. All the Chibi Senshi and Cosmic Moon fell to the ground.
"Nani," Chibi Venus gasped.
Chibi Neptune felt a power growing inside of her. Kaisui activated her power from inside Chibi Neptune who powered up. "WAVES OF DEATH!" A huge ocean wave flew out and hit the youma who groaned in pain.
Chibi Uranus felt a power growing in her too. Uindo activated her power from within Chibi Uranus who powered up. "TURBULENT WIND BLASTER!" A huge blast of wind flew out and the youma was flung against the wall.
"Cosmic Moon it's up to you now," Chibi Jupiter shouted.
Cosmic Moon nodded her head and closed her eyes. She held up her scepter. It immediately changed its shape. Gone was the pink heart on top. It was replaced by a figure of the earth and moon together. "It's the signs of both her parents," Chibi Saturn exclaimed.
"Chibi Mars, Chibi Neptune, and Chibi Uranus I need you," shouted Cosmic Moon. The three nodded. They ran over and grabbed the scepter. All four of their symbols appeared on their foreheads and glowed. "EARTH ELEMENT BLASTER," they all shouted in unison.
A huge energy sphere of wind, water and fire flew out and it engulfed the youma who roared in agony. "GOING DOWN," it yelled before it disappeared.
"What was all that," Chibi Venus demanded.
"Yes where did you get those powers," Chibi Jupiter added with a grunt. She was carrying Maggie on her back.
"I don't know," Cosmic Moon whispered. "I heard a voice in my head that told me I had some extra power right now."
"So did I," Chibi Neptune added while Chibi Mars and Chibi Uranus nodded in agreement.
"The voice was so familiar," Chibi Uranus stated.
"Yes," Chibi Mars nodded her head in agreement. "I felt very safe and warm when I heard that voice. I knew I could trust it."
"We had better get back to the palace," Cosmic Moon stated. "We have a lot to tell our parents." The girls all nodded and they headed home.
Nearby, unseen by the girls, Kadiri Mishima watched the whole thing. "I knew they could do it," she said. "We are depending on them to save the world. I will give them the guidance they need."

Hope was awakened by a splash of water being dumped on her. She sat up with a start and saw that she was wet. "Faith," she shouted.
"Nani," Faith murmured sleepily as she pulled her blankets around her body to protect herself from the cold breeze she just felt.
"Don't pretend you've been asleep all of this time," Hope yelled. "You just dumped water on me."
"I did not," Faith snapped as she awakened from her sleep.
"Yes you did," Hope shouted. "You're the only one in here and I'm all wet."
"Then you did it yourself," Faith shouted back. "Because I didn't do it."
"Then who did," Hope screamed.
At that moment the door to their room opened and Michiru and Haruka came in. "Girls," Haruka snapped. "It's two in the morning. What's with all the noise?"
"And why are you all wet Hope," Michiru demanded as she pulled the wet child off of the bed.
"Faith dumped water on me," Hope replied.
"I didn't do it," Faith cried out. She turned to her parents. "Honestly Haruka-papa and Michiru-mama. I've been sleeping all of this time. I didn't do it."
"Then how did Hope get water all over her," Haruka asked in a skeptical voice.
"I don't know," Faith replied.
"Well let's discuss this in the morning," Michiru stated as she began stripping Hope's wet bed. "It's late and you girls have school tomorrow." Once Hope's bed was dried and she was in dry clothes Michiru and Haruka tucked the girls back into bed.
"Now not another sound from you two or there will be even bigger trouble in the morning," Haruka commanded sternly as she and Michiru left.
Hope thought angrily as she settled down to sleep.
Faith thought with a huff as she pulled her blankets around her. For some reason she was feeling very cold.
Chi materialized in Rini's room. The teenager was asleep in her bed with Diana curled up beside her. Chi gazed at the princess. "You've hidden someone inside of you before," she whispered. "But you won't know about me. I will give you stronger powers. There is no Chibi Senshi of earth but since you're the daughter of the prince of earth you are the logical choice." Chi hovered over Rini for a moment and mumbled some words. In a few minutes she shimmered and entered Rini's body.
Rini awoke with a start. She had a strong sensation that someone was in the room with her. She reached over and turned on her lamp.
"Small Lady," Diana exclaimed as she woke up.
"Sorry Diana," Rini mumbled as she got up. She walked over to her vanity table and gazed at herself in the mirror. Her long pink tresses fell loosely around her face. Her fiery red eyes still held traces of sleep in them. Rini stared at herself closely. There was something different. "I feel like there's another person with me," she whispered. She stumbled back to bed and lay down. In a few minutes she was back to sleep.
Hakai was furious. She had plans to capture the fairies of the four elements but now they were hiding. "I planned to capture the world," she shouted in rage. "Without the four elements I cannot do it."
Hakai turned to her minions. "Once I capture the fairies of the four elements I can continue with my quest to destroy the world." She thought for a moment and then yelled out, "Nikushimi!"
A small dark soldier came forward. She was one of Hakai's warriors. "Yes Hakai," she replied.
"You're with me on this plan to destroy earth aren't you," Hakai snapped.
"I am," Nikushimi assured her.
"Then go out and find the people these fairies are hiding in," Hakai ordered. "And make it quick. I won't tolerate failure." Nikushimi nodded and disappeared.
"You know I really like Mishima-sensei," Annika proclaimed happily on the way home from school the next day.
"So do I," Hope agreed. "She's really nice."
"She's all right for a teacher," Gloria muttered.
"So Faith did you really dump water on your sister last night," Daisy asked.
"No I didn't," Faith snapped.
"Then how did I get so wet," Hope demanded.
"I don't know," Faith replied. "I felt a blast of cold air around that time."
"Mama told me that I was wondering around in my sleep last night," Annika suddenly piped up. "She said I was really hot too."
"I was awakened suddenly last night," Rini added. "I looked in the mirror and I felt like I wasn't alone in the room."
"Did anyone else have a strange thing happen to them last night," Hope asked. The other girls shook their heads.
"It's probably nothing," Rini shrugged her shoulders. "We had better get home. I have to study for this high school entrance exam and I know Ariel has therapy. Right?" Ariel nodded her head. She was still pretty withdrawn. "Then we had better get going because Amy will be looking for two of us." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Oh," Maggie suddenly exclaimed. "I promised Papa I would pick something up from the store. You go on ahead and I'll catch up."
"Okay," Rini called and she and the girls walked on ahead.
Maggie dashed over toward the store. Suddenly a flash of light appeared in front of her. "Nani," she stammered.
"I am looking for the fairies of elements," Nikushimi declared. "And I will tear apart every person to find them."
Maggie thought in terror as she reached for her henshin wand. Before she had a chance to transform she found her arms and legs bound together. Maggie screamed in terror.
"Now little girl," Nikushimi laughed. "Let's check you out." She held up her hand and Maggie suddenly felt a rumbling pain going through her. Maggie screamed in pain. "It doesn't look like any of them are hiding in you," Nikushimi sighed. "So I will have to dispose of you."
"Hold it right there," shouted a voice. Nikushimi turned and saw Sailor Cosmic Moon and the Chibi Senshi surrounding her. "How dare you hurt a girl who is just running an errand for her father. I am the agent of love and justice, a pretty soldier in a sailor suit, Sailor Cosmic Moon. In the name of the moon I will punish you."
"And we are," shouted the Chibi Senshi. "The Chibi Senshi and we will punish you too."
"We seem to have some annoyances," sighed Nikushimi. She held up her staff and it began to glow. A youma materialized in front of her. "Get them my youma." With that she disappeared.
"Hey finish what you've started," Chibi Venus demanded.
The youma growled and headed toward the Chibi Senshi. Chibi Jupiter powered up. "JUPITER DEADLY LIGHTENING BOLT!" Her attack flew out and hit the youma. It didn't do anything. "Impossible," Chibi Jupiter gasped.
"This youma is stronger than previous enemies," Chibi Mercury shouted as she typed in data on her computer.
"Is there any way we can defeat it," asked Chibi Saturn as she held up her glaive.
"I'm trying to figure it out," Chibi Mercury shouted back.
Suddenly the youma held up its hand and a binding chain flew out. It wrapped itself around Cosmic Moon and the Chibi Senshi. They all began screaming as it began to swing them around. None of them could get free.
"Minna," Maggie called weakly as she passed out.
"Maggie," Cosmic Moon screamed as she struggled to get free.
Chibi Mars, Chibi Neptune, Chibi Uranus and Cosmic Moon heard a voice in their heads. To the three Chibi Senshi the voice sounded very familiar.
Chibi Mars thought to herself.
From inside Chibi Mars Faia activated her powers. Chibi Mars powered up. "SUPREME FIREY EXPLOSION!" A large explosion hit and the chain scattered. All the Chibi Senshi and Cosmic Moon fell to the ground.
"Nani," Chibi Venus gasped.
Chibi Neptune felt a power growing inside of her. Kaisui activated her power from inside Chibi Neptune who powered up. "WAVES OF DEATH!" A huge ocean wave flew out and hit the youma who groaned in pain.
Chibi Uranus felt a power growing in her too. Uindo activated her power from within Chibi Uranus who powered up. "TURBULENT WIND BLASTER!" A huge blast of wind flew out and the youma was flung against the wall.
"Cosmic Moon it's up to you now," Chibi Jupiter shouted.
Cosmic Moon nodded her head and closed her eyes. She held up her scepter. It immediately changed its shape. Gone was the pink heart on top. It was replaced by a figure of the earth and moon together. "It's the signs of both her parents," Chibi Saturn exclaimed.
"Chibi Mars, Chibi Neptune, and Chibi Uranus I need you," shouted Cosmic Moon. The three nodded. They ran over and grabbed the scepter. All four of their symbols appeared on their foreheads and glowed. "EARTH ELEMENT BLASTER," they all shouted in unison.
A huge energy sphere of wind, water and fire flew out and it engulfed the youma who roared in agony. "GOING DOWN," it yelled before it disappeared.
"What was all that," Chibi Venus demanded.
"Yes where did you get those powers," Chibi Jupiter added with a grunt. She was carrying Maggie on her back.
"I don't know," Cosmic Moon whispered. "I heard a voice in my head that told me I had some extra power right now."
"So did I," Chibi Neptune added while Chibi Mars and Chibi Uranus nodded in agreement.
"The voice was so familiar," Chibi Uranus stated.
"Yes," Chibi Mars nodded her head in agreement. "I felt very safe and warm when I heard that voice. I knew I could trust it."
"We had better get back to the palace," Cosmic Moon stated. "We have a lot to tell our parents." The girls all nodded and they headed home.
Nearby, unseen by the girls, Kadiri Mishima watched the whole thing. "I knew they could do it," she said. "We are depending on them to save the world. I will give them the guidance they need."
