The Four Elements
Part Three: School Festival
By
Angel Raye


A couple of evenings after the second fight with Nikushimi, everyone was enjoying a dinner together.
"Our school is having a festival this Sunday," Daisy announced.
"Really," Lita asked.
"I always enjoyed those school festivals," Mina mused.
"So what are all of your classes doing," Lita asked.
"Our class is doing a sweet shop," Daisy replied. "We're going to be making cakes and cookies."
"Oh I'll definitely be visiting your class," Serenity declared.
"You would," Raye pointed out. She turned to Annika, "What's your class doing Sweetheart?"
"We're selling handmade items," Annika replied.
"So that's what's with all of the little animals you've been making," Chad exclaimed. Annika nodded her head.
"And with all of Hope's paintings," Michiru added. Hope giggled and nodded her head.
"Our class is doing an archery booth," Faith stated. "That's going to be fun."
"Our class is selling origami figures," Madelyn piped.
"Sounds like everyone is going to be busy," Amy mused as she wiped some food off of Ariel's mouth.
"It's going to be fun," Maggie sighed. "You are all coming aren't you?"
"Of course," Hotaru replied.
"You will Mama," Annika asked.
"I wouldn't miss it for anything," Raye smiled.

Rini sat trying to study for her entrance exam. She had so much on her mind right now. This new enemy and who they were after was one of them. The other was this feeling she had since this whole ordeal started. Rini thought. She had thought about discussing it with Helios or one of the other Chibi Senshi but decided against it. She went to her mirror and looked at herself. Rini felt a strange sensation. It was like she was looking at someone else. She shook off the uneasy feeling she had and went back to her studying. She had promised the Chibi Senshi she would go to their festival. However Amy told her she had to do extra studying before then to make up for the time she would lose on Sunday.

The day of the festival arrived. Annika, Hope, Ariel and Gloria were busy in their class getting things set up to sell. Annika had a large number of stuffed animals she had made. Hope had her paintings. Ariel had made a few clay figures with Michiru's help. Gloria had no artistic talent so Kadiri put her in charge of the signs. Other children in the class had also made various homemade items.
"Good job class," Kadiri announced. "Our class will be successful. So let's do our best and have a good time."
"Yes Mishima-sensei," the class called with enthusiasm.
Pretty soon the festival was under away. Annika was thrilled that many of her animals were sold. "I knew they would sell," Gloria cried in excitement.
"I'm so glad," Annika whispered shyly.
"At least the crybaby can do something," Miyaki sneered as she came up.
"Leave her alone and get back to your own stuff," Gloria snapped as Annika flushed and her eyes filled with tears.
"Or what palace brat," Miyaki asked. "If you hit me you'll ruin the festival. You don't want to do that."
"Sounds like you're already doing that yourself," a voice from behind her said. Miyaki turned and saw Raye standing behind her with Mina.
"Mama," Annika squealed giving her mother a hug.
"Hi Darling," Raye hugged her daughter back. She turned to Miyaki. "Leave my daughter alone," she commanded in a stern voice. Miyaki had heard of Raye's temper so she quietly went back to her station.
"Come on Gloria," Mina led her daughter away. "Let's keep you out of trouble today."
Raye knelt down and wiped the tears out of Annika's eyes. "Cheer up Sweetie," she consoled. "You're doing a good job."
"Where's Daddy," Annika asked.
"He'll be along later," Raye replied. "He just had to finish up some work."
"Is everything okay here," Kadiri came up.
"Mama this is my teacher Mishima-sensei," Annika introduced her teacher to her mother.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Raye stated. She was hit by a strong feeling.
"The pleasure is all mine," Kadiri replied.
"My daughter has told me so much about you," Raye told her. "I am so glad to finally meet you."
"You have a remarkable daughter," Kadiri said as she placed a hand on Annika's shoulder. She leaned over and whispered to Raye, "She is going to need your strength more then ever now."
"Nani," Raye asked.
"Just watch over her as you always do," Kadiri replied. She smiled and walked on.
Raye shuddered. She glanced down at Annika who was shyly talking to a high school student, interested in buying one of her animals. Raye resisted the urge to snatch Annika up into her arms to protect her. Raye decided to go look at the rest of the festival. Promising Annika that she would be back later, Raye walked out of the room, Kadiri's words still ringing in her head.

"Michiru-mama do you think my paintings will be as good as yours one day," Hope asked as she carefully rearranged her paintings.
"They already show remarkable talent," Michiru assured her.
"That's what I told her the other day," Kadiri came up.
"Michiru-mama this is Mishima-sensei," Hope introduced.
"Good afternoon," Michiru stated. "Hope has told me so much about you. It's a pleasure to finally meet you."
"It's a pleasure to meet you too," Kadiri replied. "You've got a very bright and talented daughter here."
"Thank you," Michiru murmured as she placed a hand on Hope's head.
"Both of your daughters are going to need the strengths of you and your partner," Kadiri quietly told her.
"What do you mean," Michiru asked as a chill went over her heart.
"Just watch out for them," Kadiri replied. She smiled again and walked away.
Michiru thought. Michiru immediately shrugged that thought off. If the teacher were a threat then she wouldn't be telling them to watch over the girls. Michiru turned her attention back to Hope but Kadiri's words still gnawed at her.

Lita and Ken sat at the table with Setsuna and Gary. Daisy and Maggie, along with the rest of their fifth grade class were running the sweet shop. Maggie was thrilled that her mother was able to take time away from her post to come to the festival. The class had the set the place up like a restaurant. Maggie had taken their orders.
"I am impressed," Ken commented. "These kids have really worked hard."
"I remember my first year in high school when we had a festival," Lita recalled. "Our class had done a coffee shop." Lita shuddered at that memory. They had come very close to losing Serena's star seed that day. And it was only a couple of days later when she lost her own star seed.
"Well Daisy has inherited your ability to cook so the cake should be good," Setsuna stated.
"Maggie's getting better," Gary added. "You've been doing a good job at teaching her Lita."
"It's my pleasure," Lita replied.
"Here we go," Maggie and Daisy came out with the cakes.
"Well thank you very much girls," Ken replied as the cakes were passed out.
"Mom I forgot to tell you that we both have cheerleading club practice tomorrow," Daisy stated. She and Maggie were both members of the cheerleading club and they loved it.
"No problem," Lita assured her.
"Come on Daisy we have to get back to work," Maggie pulled her away while their parents began eating.
Nearby Nikushimi was watching Daisy. she thought.

Daisy went back to her baking. She saw that she was low on flour. "Maggie," she called. "I need to get some more flour. I'll be right back."
"Okay," Maggie called. Daisy dashed out of the room. She ran down the hall to the home economics room where the supplies were kept. There was no one else in the room. She opened up the cabinet and got the sugar out.
"So there you are," Nikushimi came into the room.
"Who are you," Daisy asked. A flash of light appeared and Nikushimi's clothes turned into her warrior's uniform. Daisy gasped.
"Now let me see if you are hiding one of the fairies of elements," Nikushimi told her. Daisy tried to get away but she suddenly found her arms and legs bounded together. Immediately a flash of pain went through her as Nikushimi searched for one of the fairies. Daisy began to scream in pain.

Rini walked through the halls of the elementary school. She remembered going to this school. She learned the hard way that just because she was a princess didn't mean she got special treatment. Her parents were also visiting the festival and the faculty was just in frenzy trying to make the place look good for the Royal couple.
A scream got her attention. Rini ran to investigate. She went into a room and saw the enemy-attacking Daisy. Rini thought. She slipped out of sight and grabbed her communicator. "Minna the enemy is attacking Daisy. We need Senshi power now." A volley of various responses came back. Rini pulled out her transformation broach. "MOON COSMIC POWER MAKE UP!" She went through the transformation and then ran forward.
"Hold it right there," she shouted to Nikushimi. "These kids have worked really hard to make this festival a success. I won't let you ruin it. I am an 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."
"You always show up," Nikushimi griped. She held up her staff. A youma appeared. "Have some fun with that one." Cosmic Moon got into fighting stance. The youma stretched out its long claws and swiped at Cosmic Moon. Cosmic Moon screamed in pain as her torso got scratched. "Now back to you," Nikushimi turned to Daisy. A wave of pain went through Daisy who screamed in agony. "It seems like you don't have any fairies hiding in you so I will just have to kill you."
"JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!" The attack flew out and hit Nikushimi. Sailor Jupiter jumped protectively in front of Daisy. "I won't let you harm her."
"Mommy," Daisy whispered before she passed out.
"So there are adult versions of the Senshi," Nikushimi sighed. "Well I'll just leave you to deal with my youma." With that she disappeared.
"Damn," Jupiter growled and she turned to the youma who was fighting Cosmic Moon.
"TURBULENT WIND BLASTER!" The attack flew out and hit the youma. The rest of the Chibi Senshi and the Sailor Senshi were all there.
"Jupiter take care of Daisy and let us deal with the youma," Venus ordered. Jupiter nodded and dashed over to Daisy. She cradled her in her arms. Mercury came over and scanned her.
"She's fine but I will need to treat her once we get back to the palace," Mercury stated. Jupiter nodded.
The youma stretched out its long claws and swiped at the Senshi. They all screamed and began dodging.
"MARS FLAME SINPER!"
"DEEP SUBMERGES!"
Chibi Mercury was scanning for weaknesses. "Aim at its stomach," she called.
"Girls use your new powers," Venus commanded.
Chibi Mars, Chibi Neptune and Chibi Uranus all nodded and powered up. Within them the fairies of elements powered up too.
"SUPREME FIREY EXPLOSION!"
"WAVES OF DEATH!"
"TURBULENT WIND BLASTER!"
The youma screamed as the three attacks bombarded him. Cosmic Moon pulled out her new scepter. Chibi Mars, Chibi Neptune and Chibi Uranus all came over and grabbed it. "EARTH ELEMENT BLASTER!"
"GOING DOWN!" The youma vanished.
"Good job girls," Venus nodded to them. Meanwhile the parents of the four Senshi just stared in astonishment at the new powers of their daughters.
Kadiri was watching from around the corner. She smiled. she thought. She then glanced at the parents. Kadiri walked quietly away.

After dinner that evening everyone decided to gather outside since it was a nice night. Daisy was still in a lot of pain so Lita took her inside intending to put her to bed early. Rini, Annika, Hope and Faith all gathered under a tree. The four fairies took that moment to take over their bodies.
"They are persistent," Uindo observed.
"I just hope they don't think about checking our hosts," Chi sighed.
"We can't let them find us," Kaisui snapped. "If Hakai gets a hold of us then the earth will be destroyed."
"That is why we gave these girls our powers," Faia pointed out. "They will help us protect this earth."
"And as long as they don't know we're in them then we're fine," Kaisui reminded them.
"I still think we should let them know," Uindo muttered.
"They're better off not knowing," Kaisui pointed out. "We're keeping them out of further danger that way. If they knew about us then Hakai would be able to see it in their minds."
"We had better give these girls control of their bodies," Chi hissed. "Some of the parents are looking for them." The fairies nodded and slipped into their dormant states. As the girls regained control of their bodies they all fell unconscious.
"Annika," Raye shrieked as she dashed over. She gathered Annika into her arms. Amy came and scanned them.
"What's wrong with them," Serenity asked anxiously as she cradled Rini's head in her arms.
Amy sighed. "I'm not sure. Ever since they received these new powers I am picking up unusual energy readings inside of them. My guess is that all this ties together."
"Are they all right," Raye asked as she stood up with Annika in her arms.
"They're fine," Amy assured them. "Just get them all inside and into bed. If they need anything it's rest." The Senshi all nodded and took their unconscious daughters inside. Amy frowned. she asked herself as she headed over to the group.

Meanwhile Nikushimi already had her eye on her next target. In her hands she clutched a picture of Madelyn's good friend Kara from school.
