Hey! This is chapter two! A new scout is introduced! Not much changes were made in the EF part, since well... the backstories are quite the same for the Chosen One's parents as in the canon tv show. The chapter was written by my friend but is edited and improved (added dialogues, more descriptions, emotions describe...) by me.
Disclamer: I own nothing. All rights go to ABC/Disney and Naoko Takeuchi/Toei.
Courage and Kindness
Unknown location
"So you have failed me?"- Queen Exitumia said irritated to Asorao, one of her generals.
"Yes, my queen. One of the chosen six's powers has began to awake. Soon, the other five powers will awake too." – Asorao, on his knee, replied to his queen.
"Oracle! Tell me about the next chosen!"- Exitumia demanded, as the oracle appeared.
"The second, born as pure as the ocean, will awaken as the waves move her to destiny."- the oracle predicted, then he disappeared again.
Enchanted Forest
Cinderella was brushing the ground with a broom as she watched her stepmother and stepsisters go to the ball. She sighed and thought: "I wish I could go to the ball…"
Short moment after, a fairy appeared telling her that she could go to the ball, and introduced herself as her fairy godmother.
"But… my stepmother forbid me to go…"
"Your stepmother doesn't have this." – said Fairy Godmother showing her wand – "This wand has the power to take you to the ball, to your prince and your hap…"
She didn't have the time to finish her sentence, she suddenly exploded in front of Cinderella. Rumplestiltskin appeared, took the wand and addressing to Cinderella, said:
"You should thank me. I just saved you from her. This wand is pure evil."
"She was about to improve my life…" – protested Cinderella, confused by the events.
"I can do this for you. But magic always comes with a price."
"Please, get me out of there, Mr…?"
"Rumplestiltskin! Yes, I will. But in exchange, you must give me something in the future. Do we have a deal?"- the Dark One asked.
"Yes, thank you." – Cinderella hurried to say.
Rumplestiltskin made Cinderella sign a contract, and then used magic to give her a new dress and glass slippers.
"Glass slippers..?" – asked Cinderella.
"Every story needs something memorable. Now go, but make sure to watch the clock."
Storybrooke
Emma was asleep until she started to awake, and awkwardly fell on the floor in process. Lux, who woke up earlier, said:
"Glad you're awake, Emma. Get up, we have business today."
Emma looked at Lux, rubbing her head in pain, with a questioning look on her face.
"We need to find the next sailor senshi." – poursuied Lux – "I sense like she could be in danger."
"Alright…" – agreed Emma, still rubbing her head.
Outside the town, a runaway teen dressed in a light blue shirt and skirt, named Alexandra arrived at the Storybrooke sign.
"Storybrooke… sounds nice." – she said to herself – "Well, it can't be worse than the foster home in Rhode Island, where I was constantly bullied by everyone."
She looked at the crystal she was wearing for 14 years now, and sighed sadly.
"I hope my life will be better from now…"
Enchanted Forest
Cinderella and Thomas wed, and a ball was made in honor of the newlyweds. Snow White and Charming arrived at their wedding, and expressed their congratulations.
"Congratulations, Thomas and Ella!" – said Prince Charming to the just married couple.
"Thank you. I'm glad to see you here, James and Snow White." – replied Thomas with a smile.
"Ella, you give inspiration." – said Snow White honestly.
"I did nothing but to get married…" – replied Cinderella.
"You showed us that everyone can change his life. Your story gave us all courage and hope. I am proud of you." – Snow White concluded with a smile, walking away.
Then, Rumplestiltskin appeared in front of Cinderella, saying: "And I'm proud of you too."
"What are you doing here?" – asked Cinderella with as much calm as she could manage.
"To see if you got everything you wanted." – said the Dark One.
Understanding that he came to tell the price for all she got, Cinderella asked what the price was. But what he said was something she didn't expect at all.
"What I want, you don't have it yet. But it'll come soon. I want your firstborn child."
Sometime later, when Cinderella found out she was pregnant, packed her things. Thomas entered their bedroom got confused by her actions.
"Ella? What's going on? Why are you packing..?"
"Thomas… there's something… I'm pregnant."
Thomas got excited, and said: "But that's wonderful!"
Looking at his wife's sad expression, he asked: "Why are you upset?"
"I didn't tell you everything about how we met…" – started Cinderella.
She explained everything and told about the deal she made with Rumplestiltskin. Thomas was shocked to hear that the price asked by the Dark One was nothing else than their firstborn.
"I'm so sorry…" – Ella said sobbing – "Now I'll lose my baby… and you…"
"Ella… we will find a way to prevent the Dark One from taking our child… I promise." – said Thomas taking his wife's hands in his own.
Storybrooke
Emma, with Lux on her shoulder, bumped accidently into Alexandra, who was walking from the opposite direction. Both girls fell on the floor.
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching…!" – Emma hurried to apologize – "Are you ok?"
"Don't apologize, I wasn't watching either." – responded Alexandra embarrassed.
Both girls stood up, and Emma asked: "So, I'm Emma. And you?"
"My name's Alexandra."
"Oh, and this is my cat Lux." – said Emma, pointing on the cat who repositioned himself back on her shoulder.
"He's cute! Hello Lux!" – said Alex with a bright smile and a little hand-wave.
Looking briefly at the girl she just met, Emma asked seriously:
"Alex… you're a runaway, right?"
"How did you guess…?" – asked Alex nervously.
To this, Emma pointed Alex's bag, which was open and still on the ground.
"I'm a runaway too, and the content of your bag is relevant."
"I ran away from my foster home because everyone bullied me constantly…"
While she was saying that, the girl avoided eye contact and didn't know what to do with her hands.
"Oh… that's sad…"
Emma knew by experience that the foster family life wasn't something positive, that's why she couldn't say more, expecting close that conversation which was uncomfortable for Alex (and for herself too). At that moment, Lux "pssted" in Emma's ear, and whispered:
"I sense that… Alex is a sailor senshi."
The teen didn't have time to react to those words, since at that same moment, she heard a scream. Both girls decided to run to its source.
Enchanted Forest
Cinderella now close to the end of her pregnancy, called Rumplestiltskin. When he appeared, he said:
"I heard you want to see me, dearie."
"Yes, I do. It's about our deal… I'm… going to have twins. That's why I came to ask… for an other deal."
"You want to give them both? Why?" – Rumple asked with interest and some excitement.
Ella explained that the lands of her kingdom are poor, and she and her husband can hardly to feed their people. She can have other children later, but make lands fertile is not in her power. Then, she gave him a quill.
"That's a beautiful quill… where is it from?" – Rumple asked.
"From my castle."
"The only way to stop me is by magic. However, magic always comes with a price. I hope you remember that." – the Dark One warned the woman.
"I'm not trying to stop you. Sign the contract, please."
As Rumple signed the contract, he became paralyzed. Cinderella called for her husband, who arrived with Charming, and both men locked him up.
Cinderella and Thomas were relieved, now that there was no threat from the Dark One.
"I'm so happy. I really thought I would return to my old life…" – said Ella.
"See? I told you that all would be ok."
Suddenly, Cinderella felt a little pain. Thomas got up, to go get some water for her. Moments later, the pain was gone and Ella called for Thomas, but he didn't come. She looked around, and saw that he was actually missing. Ella understood that Rumple had something to do with it, and confronted him about that.
"What have you done? Where's Thomas?"
"Magic always comes with a price. You didn't pay yours for our former deal, and now he's gone. You'll never see him again!"
Storybrooke
Emma, Lux and Alexandra arrived at the source of the scream they heard before, and they saw a woman named Ashley Boyd attacked by a monster.
"Aaargh! That's a monster!" – gasped Emma.
"Oh Gosh! The woman needs help!" – yelled Alex, full of concern for the monster's victim.
There was one thing which could be done. Emma shouted:
"Light Prism Power!"
The brooch released its power, and Emma became Sailor Light.
"Let that woman go, monster! I am Sailor Light! And in the name of the light, I'll punish you!"
Alex watched amazed at the super heroine next to her. With a tinly smile, she almost whispered:
"Emma..? Waw… unbelievable…"
The monster approached Sailor Light. She was about to grab her tiara and throw it on the monster, but she had no time to do so. The monster hit her with his long claws, which made Sailor Light bleed.
"Emma!" – yelled Alex in horror.
"Alex, you can save her!" – said Lux, jumping on the girl's shoulder.
Alex was surprised to see the cat talk, but there was no time to focus on it too long. She had to save Emma first, the questions can be asked later. Lux turned Alexandra's crystal into a blue sparkly pen. Alex looked at the cat and the pen confused, until Lux explained:
"It gives you the power to transform if you yell 'Aqua Prism Power'".
Without waiting more, Alex hold the pen firmly in her hand, and shouted:
"Aqua Prism Power!"
At those words, Alexandra transformed into Sailor Aqua. She looked at herself; she truly was surprised of her appearance. Her sailor suit was similar to Emma's. Only, her collar and skirt were blue. The ribbon on her chest and on her back was blue turquoise. She looked at her feet and was surprised to see glass slippers.
"Now, you are Sailor Aqua." – explained Lux.
Alex went quickly to Emma and knelt before her.
"Emma! Don't worry, you'll be alright. Aquatic Heal."
Once she said that, Sailor Light's wounds were healed. The demon was once again coming in their direction and was about to hit them both, but suddenly, Tuxedo Mask appeared behind him.
"That's wrong to attack ladies! You rather fight against a man!" – shouted Tuxedo Mask.
This distracted the monster and bought enough time for Alexandra to use her ultimate technique.
"Aquatic Bubble Blast!" - Alexandra yelled, shooting bubbles at the demon.
The bubbles bowled up on impact like real bombs and the demon was destroyed in the explosion.
Sailor Light looked around her, she was relieved that the monster was dead, but noticed that Tuxedo Mask was gone once again.
"Let's go now." – Emma said to Alex, who had knelt before Ashley Boyd, still unconscious.
"I must heal her first!" – protested Sailor Aqua – "Aquatic Heal!"
Both girls returned to normal, and went out the street corner. Alex was still worried for the woman, but Emma tried to reassure her that she'll be fine and insisted on the fact that they really had to go. The girls made only several steps, that they heard Mr Gold's voice behind them:
"Sailor Light and Sailor Aqua… interesting codenames, don't you think?"
"Mr Gold…? You saw us transform?!" – Emma asked with a hint of panic in her voice.
"Indeed." – Mr Gold replied.
Lux felt that he was covered with sweat, Emma and Alex had nervous expressions on their faces.
"On no… It's supposed to be a secret!" – shouted Emma.
"Please… don't tell anybody!" – pleaded Alex.
"Girls, if our secret is revealed, we're in trouble…" – said Lux.
Mr Gold addressed the girls, with his most calm attitude.
"Your secret will be safe." – he paused one moment – "If in exchange, you'll help me with something someday, when I'll ask. Deal?"
Emma and Alexandra exchanged glances.
"Our secret is too much important to keep, so…"
"Totally agree, Emma."
Then, both teenagers looked in Mr Gold's eyes, saying in the same time: "Deal."
"You made the right decision, dearies."
Enchanted Forest
Cinderella gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, who she named Alexandra. As she heard little Alexandra's baby noises, she sat in a rocking chair with her baby in the arms. After a while, a guard arrived in the nursery, and told to Cinderella:
"Your Highness… It's time…"
"Oh… right… thanks."
She learned a few days ago that her daughter had to be sent with five other girls, to be protected and save them all later, from the Dark Curse. It was now her last moments with her baby, and she spoke to Alexandra hoping she would remember her words.
"I want to tell you a secret that will see you through all the trials that life can offer. Have courage, and be kind. Alexandra, you have more kindness in your little finger than most people possess in their whole body... Where there is kindness, there is goodness. And where there is goodness, there is magic."
Cinderella then stood up, and left the nursery holding Alex for the last time.
A/N: Yes, the last speech was a quote from Cinderella 2015 movie. From the next chap, the Chosen Ones will be OCs. Oh, and Alex looks like Lily James.
Reviews would be nice.
