Disclaimer: I don't own Ariel, Annika, Gloria, Faith, Hope, Maggie, Madelyn, and Daisy. They belong to Angel Raye. I don't own the original senshi's either. I own the youngest of the senshi's though.

Chapter One: Horrible Taunting

We must get those Chibi Senshi's out of my way; if I want to succeed any further in this mission they must be defeated. But how? How do I do it? Strip them of their powers? No, that wouldn't be fun. I'd rather we fight them and defeat them. How about physical pain? A sickness? The outer Senshi's? Chibi Neptune and Chibi Uranus, they're twins. How do I get to them? If one suffers, both suffer. Chibi Uranus will be my victim. Now Chibi Saturn, she's weak anyways. If she caught pneumonia she'd surely…die. Even if she doesn't, everyone would be too occupied with her and I could succeed with my plan. Chibi Pluto.

The woman cackled as she thought of Chibi Pluto's defeat.

Chibi Jupiter now. Ah, yes. Best friends with Chibi Pluto. Of course. Chibi Venus. I could use her in my plans of destruction. The Princess. Oh yes, that's a perfect defeat, watching one of her people die will surely through her into a state of shock, in fact… all of them can watch. It's time for the prophecy to come true, yes it's time for their defeat. As for Chibi Mars and Chibi Mercury…

Both girls shot up in bed screaming. Ami and Greg were by Ariel's side in a flash. Ariel was cradled up in Ami's arms. Ami was rocking her gently. Maia walked into Ariel's room and went over to Greg. Greg smiled weakly and picked her up.

"What's wrong darling?" Ami asked her eldest.

"I- the- woman… Innocent. Kill." Ariel replied, in hysterics making no sense.

"Calm down." Ami said, running her hands through Ariel's hair. She gave Greg a worried look. Greg's eyes saddened. He ran his hand over his daughter's face.

"Ariel sweetie what did you see?" Greg questioned.

"She's coming after us daddy." Ariel finally replied in one sentence.

"Who?" Ami asked concerned. Ariel went back into her state of shock. Ami rocked her back and forth.

Meanwhile, Chad and Rei burst through Annika's bedroom door. Rei immediately scoped her daughter up into her arms and cradled her. Chad went and got Annika a glass of water.

"MOMMY! She's going to kill someone! She's going to kill someone! Make her stop!" Annika screamed, as though she was still in the dream. Her eyes were closed tight, and she was kicking and screaming.

"Annika sweetie. Wake up." Rei said, still holding her daughter.

"She's going to take Gloria. Stop her." Annika screamed at the top of her lungs.

Julia walked into Annika's room, her face stained with tears. "Mommy, something's wrong with Annika." Chad walked back in with the water. He saw his youngest daughter standing there, and Rei looking at him helplessly. Chad sat the glass of water on the night stand and picked up Julia.

"Mommy! Save Gloria! Mommy! Gloria." Annika continued.

"Annika, Gloria is fine." Rei stated confused.

Julia leaned over far enough to grab the glass of water off the nightstand. Chad walked over to his wife and daughter. Annika started screaming again, Julia took the glass of water and poured it on her sister's face, making Annika jolt awake. Rei gave Julia a stern look, yet was glad to see that Annika now had her eyes opened. Annika looked at her mother and then wrapped her arms around her and began to cry.

"I want Gloria." Annika sobbed. Rei sighed, and dug in her nightgown pocket and clutched onto her communicator. She then contacted Minako, who in a few minutes came into view.

"Is everything alright?" Minako asked, sleepily.

Rei hesitated. Was everything alright? "I'm not sure Minako, but Annika really needs to see Gloria."

"Three in the morning? Is this necessary?" Minako asked, groggily.

"I'd like someone to talk to as well." Rei finally concluded.

Minako thought for a minute, "Alright. I'll see if Gloria wants to go."

The two hung up. Minako laid back down still tired. Asai put his arms around Minako and snuggled up next to her. Minako pushed him away and got up. "I have to take Gloria over to Rei's house."

"At three in the morning on a school night?" Asai questioned.

"Annika's upset about something I believe. And Rei wants to talk to me." Minako explained, slipping her feet into her slippers. "I'll be back soon." She said yawning, and got up and exited out of the room. She was surprised to find Gloria wide awake, sitting up in bed.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?" Minako questioned concerned.

Gloria glanced up at her mother, and then back down at her comforter. "Somethings wrong with Annika."

Minako's eyes widened. How did her daughter know that? How strong was their friendship? "Well, Aunt Rei would like us to go over there for a few minutes and visit. But we have to come right back. And then you have to go to sleep. You have school in the morning."

Gloria nodded and stood up; she slid her foot into her flip flops and led the way out of the house. Minako and Gloria showed up to Rei's dressed in their night clothes. Chad and Julia were the ones that answered the door. Minako was surprised to see that the whole family was up. Her surprised turned into worry as she saw Annika looking so beat up. Rei sat Annika on the couch. Gloria went over and sat next to Annika. Rei and Minako stepped out for a moment. Chad stayed in to make sure everything was fine.

"She went into hysterics like I've never seen before. She started screaming about a woman killing someone. And then she said something about she's going to take Gloria." Rei explained, at the brink of tears. She had never seen her little one like this before. "She was just so fragile. I couldn't do anything to get her to quit. Finally, Julia poured water on her face. I couldn't be mad at her for doing it either, 'cause she got Annika to stop."

"Maybe she saw something that's going to happen soon. We should probably keep our eyes opened. Thanks for telling me about Gloria though. Did she say anything about anyone else?" Minako asked.

"The only thing she said was she's going to kill someone. Then she was stuck on Gloria being taken." Rei replied. A shudder went up both the mom's backs.

"We should have a scout meeting after the kids go off to school." Minako suggested.

Rei nodded.

Rei had no choice but to keep Annika home the following day. She was scared out of her wits. Rei was trying to get more information out of her, but the little girl just wouldn't give in. She just shook her head and started crying. Rei explained to Annika that she was going to stay with Chad, while she went into a scout meeting. Annika didn't like the idea of being separated from her mother. She protested and threw a tantrum.

"Sweetie, we have to talk about your nightmare. You want us to protect Gloria, right?" Rei asked, smoothing Annika's hair with her hand.

Annika nodded and hugged her mother. Rei returned the hug, and handed her to Chad. Annika sniffled. Rei kissed her forehead, and walked out the door. Rei arrived late to the meeting. Everyone had taken their seats and were sipping on some milk.

"Alright, so what's going on?" Queen Serenity asked, as she slurped down some milk.

Rei went into best detail about Annika's nightmare. Ami had a horrid look on her face by the time she was done explaining all that happened.

"Ami-Chan are you alright?" Michiru asked, seeing her expression.

"Ariel woke up last night around three a clock, screaming bloody murder. When me and Greg tried to get answers out of her, she just went into this state of shock. The only thing she said that actually made sense was, she's coming after us. And then she went back into total shock. I almost didn't send her to school this morning, but she insisted on going." Ami concluded.

"Do you think they had the same dream?" Setsuna asked.

Ami shrugged, "It's hard to tell. I didn't get any of those answers out of Ariel."

"We need to question the children when they are calmer." Haruka stated, glancing over in Michiru's direction. "Michiru don't give me that look. If we are to find out what's going on we have to ask them questions."

Everyone was quiet for sometime, before Queen Serenity spoke up, "She's right. If we want to get to the bottom of this mess before it happens, we'll have to ask them. And as seeing they both had a nightmare around the same time, we have no choice. None of the other children seem to have any affect in this right now."

Everyone nodded, except Michiru. She had seen the pained look on Ariel's face that morning. She didn't want to put the young girl in a traumatic experience, she had seen enough. She had been through enough. The same with Annika. Both girls have been through a lot.

The girls were just getting off of school. Faith, Gloria, and little Madelyn had gone off toward the palace already. Why Madelyn was tagging along no one knew. Emily, Chloe, and Erin were following closely behind Hailey. The four youngsters were being awfully quiet. Julia and Lydia had climbed up in a tree and were talking to one another. Ariel Mizuno was off in what seemed to be another dimension. She was standing there, staring off into space.

Hope sighed, and walked over to her friend. "Ariel we're leaving."

Ariel snapped out of it and looked at Hope. Hope smiled at her and patted her on the back. Ariel began to walk toward the palace. Hope followed after her, feeling a little bit worried about her young friend.

Hope shuddered as she felt the oceans rumble in her ears. The noise became louder and louder in her ears. Hope stopped walking. Ariel turned and looked at her friend worriedly.

"Hope." Ariel whispered.

Hope let out a blood curdling scream. She thrust herself to the ground and covered her ears with her hands. She kicked her feet and continued screaming. Ariel watched her friend in horror. What was happening?

Maggie and Daisy were coming up the path with Usagi right behind them. Ariel continued to watch as Hope rolled all over the ground, trying to get the roaring waves out of her ears. Ariel spotted Daisy, Maggie, and Usagi out of the corner of her eye, running up toward them. Ariel ran over toward them and threw herself on the nearest person --which happened to be Maggie. Ariel wrapped her legs tightly around her waist, and latched onto her neck. She buried her face on Maggie's shoulder and began to cry. Maggie patted the girls back, tying to comfort her.

Usagi and Daisy were over next to Hope trying to comfort her, but nothing was working. Daisy flipped opened her communicator and contacted all the adults right away. She wasn't sure who she should contact at this point, as seeing Ariel was in hysterics and her mother was the doctor, she'd need the assistance of Hotaru. And Haruka and Michiru were Hope's parents, Daisy didn't have time to call each individual.

"Everyone hurry. Something's wrong with Hope and Ariel is extremely upset." Daisy hollered in a panic. Daisy watched as Usagi continued to get Hope to calm down. Maggie was rubbing Ariel's back, but the child only seemed to become more upset.

Daisy glanced down at her communicator to see everyone come back to her telling her they were on their way. Ariel started screaming at the top of her lungs. Maggie didn't know what to do. She was beginning to become overwhelmed by all this.

"She's coming! She's going to kill an innocent!" Ariel screamed, recalling her nightmare.

Usagi, now, studied Ariel with extreme worry. Who was coming? When? Why were they going to kill an innocent? What was going on with Hope and Ariel? Neo-Queen Serenity rushed up toward the children, followed by the rest of the scouts. Daisy flushed a slight pink, she forgot when she called everyone she also called the Queen.

Ami was lost for action. She didn't know which child to go to. Her own? Or Michiru's? Ami jerked her head from Ariel and Hope. Michiru, Haruka, and Hotaru were over next to Hope, while Ariel was still clinging onto Maggie. Maggie gave her mother a helpless look.

Rei, who had also come along, held on tight to her own daughter. Michiru was trying to cradle her own daughter, but Hope was thrashing around to much and was untamable.

"I don't have any of my medical things with me!" Ami finally cried out. "I can't help either of them, until we get to the hospital. And if you carry Hope you're liable to drop her."

Setsuna put her arm around Ami, noticing her friend's helplessness. Ami blinked back tears, she wasn't able to help both at the same time.

"She wants to make us watch a death! She's going to kill someone! A prophecy. She wants the prophecy to come true." Ariel started to babble. Her eyes shut closed, and her screaming and kicking ceased. She lied limp on Maggie's shoulder. Maggie held the child close, fearing for the worst. She had an awful feeling. A gut feeling that something was severely wrong.

"Go on to your daughter. I suspect Hope will quit as well." Setsuna suggested.

"But… Hope started before Ariel." Daisy recalled. Setsuna nodded. She walked over to the child. Rei watched helplessly at the scene. Minako was beginning to think that they should step up on their training, even if they didn't quite understand what was going on just yet. Minako worried about the youngest children, and Maia. Considering Ami hadn't allowed her to become a senshi quite yet, she had no way to defend herself.

When the other children had arrived home, they were confused to see their father's instead of their mothers. Faith looked around anxiously noticing that none of her family was around. Not even the two younger ones.

Chad noticing Faith's worry quickly explained, "There was an emergency with your sister, Hope. Haruka and Michiru went off to check along with the rest of the mothers. We still don't know what's going on."

"Oh." Faith replied weakly. She mentally cursed at herself, she had a gut instinct that something was wrong with Hope, but she refused to listen to it. She was more worried with getting home. "Where's Isabella and Jordan?"

"They're still at the preschool." Ken replied.

Faith nodded and turned to leave. "Where you going?" Ken asked.

"I'm going to get them, since my parents are busy." Faith replied and left.

Chloe cocked her head and looked at her father, "Daddy is Mommy and sissy coming home soon? I'm worried."

Ken was worried too, he figured they would've at least called by now. "Don't worry sweetie, mommy and Daisy will be home shortly."

"Rei brought Annika. I told her to stay home and just let everyone take care of it, but she said because Daisy called everyone she had to go." Chad came out of know where. Julia climbed up in her father's lap and snuggled up next to him.

"Momma was going with what her heart said." Julia replied.

Gloria gave her dad a worried look and then turned and left. Asai sat on the couch speechless. His daughter didn't say a word to him. She only gave him a weird look and left. Asai stood up and was about to go after her when Erin tugged on his pants legs. He sighed, and picked his little girl up.

"Faith you can't just run off like that." Gloria explained catching up to her friend.

"Why are you following me?" Faith asked.

Gloria flinched at the tone of voice Faith had used with her. She was only trying to help.

"I just want to help you get your sisters." Gloria replied.

Faith didn't say anything. The two girls walked in silence all the way to the pre-school. When they arrived, the owners were surprised to see them. Ceres came up to them and greeted them with a confused expression.

"We're here to pick up the twins." Gloria stated, seeing that Faith wasn't speaking now.

Ceres nodded and went into the room and gathered up the two munchkins. She made Gloria sign a paper stating that she and Faith had gotten the children. Gloria said thanks and the four headed off toward Faith's quarters.

"You can quit beating yourself up over Hope." Gloria finally spoke up to Faith. "I'm not stupid on what you're doing."

Faith shot her a glare. "You don't know anything."

"I know enough to know that you knew she was in trouble and now you're beating yourself up over it." Gloria replied, showing her knowledge.

Faith sighed. Gloria was right. She was beating herself up over it, and everything was probably fine with Hope by now. Faith perked up at the sound of the wind in her ears.

"Did you hear that? Do you feel that?" Faith questioned Gloria.

Gloria gave her a funny look. "Noo.. I don't."

"It's the wind. It's troubled." Faith explained. "Something's wrong. It's getting louder." Faith cupped her hands over her ears, trying to escape the howling of the winds.

"Faith… Are you okay?" Gloria questioned concerned.

"NO!" Faith screamed, as she hurled to the ground. Jordan and Isabella stood in horror as they watched their sister suffer some invisible pain. Gloria looked back at Isabella and Jordan making sure they weren't having some sort of weird affects, as seeing it appeared to be a warning of evil. But the only thing that appeared wrong with them was horror.

"Make her stop!" Isabella cried, putting her hands over her own ears, and tears started to stream down her face. Gloria quickly went next to Faith and started to shake her violently.

"Fight it Faith! Fight it!" Gloria screamed. "You have to fight whatever it is!"

Faith screamed louder, as the winds started picking up. "MAKE IT STOP!"

"I CAN'T! YOU HAVE TO!" Gloria hollered back as loud as possible, tears coming to her own eye. She remembered Annika had, had a horrible nightmare, she wasn't sure of its details, but she knew it was awful, as it left Annika weak and frail.

"What's wrong with her?" Jordan questioned, scared. Gloria looked up at the twins, Isabella was in tears, and Jordan was standing there helplessly.

……

Just when everyone thought Hope had started to calm down, she gave out another blood curdling scream. Annika and Ariel started crying again. Everyone exchanged worried looks. No one knew what to do at this point.

"MOMMY! MOMMY! MOMMY!" Ariel screamed. Ami held her child in her arms, unsure of what to do. She had never felt so helpless as a doctor, a senshi and a mother in her life, as she did now. She wasn't able to help Hope. And when she thought her daughter was okay, both Annika and Ariel started crying.

Maggie and Daisy looked as though they were about to pass out. Makoto went up to her daughter, and put her arm around her shoulder. Setsuna did the same with her daughter.

"She wants us dead!" Annika spout off.

Rei gave Annika a helpless look, "Who?"

"SHE DOES! She wants the prophecy filled. Don't let her mommy. Make her stop!" Annika started screaming.

Usagi had to think of something quick. If Hope continued screaming like she was, she'd make herself pass out, which at this time wouldn't be a bad idea, but Usagi didn't know of the consequences.

"Rei listen to me! You may be the only one that can help right now!" Usagi said, finally gathering up her plan. Rei turned her focus onto the young princess. "Give Annika to my mom, and use your scrolls to try and get them to stop."

Rei nodded, and almost unwillingly handed Annika to her best friend. Neo-Queen Serenity held onto Annika as though she was her own child. Rei closed her eyes, and focused on her inner resources. She started to spout off the little saying. She stopped when she heard her daughter scream for her.

"REI FOCUS!" Usagi screamed.

Rei nodded again and quickly did the chant. She threw the scrolls out at the three children, accidentally sending an extra one out at Neo-Queen Serenity. Rei snatched her daughter away from Serenity before she crashed to the ground. Haruka had quickly run over to Serenity and caught her in her arms, just before she hit the ground.

"Great! Did you have to hit the Queen?" Haruka questioned with a sly smirk.

Rei gave a small laugh, "Sorry."

"She quit." Michiru said with a sigh of relief, she cradled her sleeping daughter in her arms and stood up. "We need to get home. Faith's all by herself and we need to get the twins."

Ami who was holding her own child quickly stated that Hope needed to be brought to the hospital.

"I'll carry the Queen." Haruka suggested. "Makoto should probably get Daisy home, she looks worn out." Haruka gave the child a sympathetic look.

"I really need to get to Faith." Michiru began to panic. "And I need to stay with Hope."

"If all do respect, I'll take Hope and you can go to Faith and the two younger ones." Hotaru explained.

"But you need to get home to your children too." Michiru stated.

"They have their father, they'll be fine without me for a couple more hours." Hotaru explained, taking Hope out of Michiru's arms.

"Michiru don't make this harder than it has to be." Ami demanded. "You go home and take care of Faith, Jordan, and Isabella first, and then you can come by the hospital and check up on Hope."

Michiru sighed and headed toward the palace. When she was out of ear shot Minako spoke up, "Michiru has seemed to have lost it a little bit."

"She isn't coping well with something." Haruka replied.

Everyone gave Haruka a quizzical look, wanting to know what she wasn't coping with. Haruka sighed, "I'm not sure with what. She's just been acting strange since this morning." Everyone started to walk back toward the palace.

Faith had stopped screaming and was passed out on the ground. Gloria didn't understand what had happened. Isabella was crying harder now, afraid that something really bad had happened to Faith. Gloria yanked on her own hair, and let herself drop to the ground. This wasn't making sense. What had happened? Faith wouldn't wake up. What was wrong with her?

"Shut up!" Jordan told Isabella.

"No, You shut up!" Isabella argued back through her tears.

"Okay. No need to argue please. I can't handle all of this." Gloria said, butting in. Isabella ran over to Gloria and dropped into her lap. She started to cry harder. Gloria was hesitant at first to give the girl any comfort, but finally she started to stroke her hair. She rarely allowed anyone to get close to her. When everything had calmed down Gloria took her communicator out of her pocket, she hadn't forgotten it this time.

She flipped it open and contacted her mother. "Mom…"

Minako came back worried, "What's going on sweetie? Who's crying?"

"Isabella is crying, but she's okay. At least I think. Faith was going crazy and then she passed out."

"Wait, the twins are with you? Where are you and Faith? Where's your father?" Minako questioned.

The Senshi's shot back concerned glances at Minako. Michiru was going to go spastic when she found that none of her daughters were where they were supposed to be.

"Faith left from the area where you guys usually are waiting for us. And I went off after her. She went and got the twins, and then we were walking home when she started complaining about the wind." Gloria explained, near tears once again.

"Alright, I'm on my way." Minako replied. Things were getting a little bit out of hand. Minako took off at a fast pace. No one followed after her, as everyone was busy with getting the younger ones to the hospital and home. And the Queen was passed out and Haruka was taking care of that.

"When I thought things couldn't get any worse." Rei stated.

"I wonder what happened to Faith?" Makoto asked.

"Mom… it sounds to me like Faith was getting a strong vibe of the evil presence, and Hope probably did as well." Daisy brought up.

Maggie gave her friend a worried look, "If that's true… then I'd hate to face the enemy."

A shudder went up everyone's backs. If Faith and Hope had felt the evil presence and it did that to them, without a battle then things weren't looking too great. And they still weren't sure what Ariel and Annika were facing.

"We'll have a scout meeting tonight. I know everyone's tired, but if we don't talk about what we know, it could be too late to do anything by tomorrow. Whatever is going on, it's powerful."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Authors Note: This has nothing to do with the current series. Just this idea struck me and so I had to write about it. I'll update ASAP.
