Chapter Seven or Episode Seven Part One

*Terribly sorry about the long gap between updates. As previously stated, I went through and edited the previous chapters some. So maybe reread if you think you can't keep up. The only changes are some name changes! Okay thanks for reading. :3 bye! *

-This chapter has a lot of different things combined; in the future the story won't be so overwhelming. Just a lot of back story that needs to be worked in!-

(In the previous chapter, everyone congregated back at Rei's to further discuss situations. Seiya, Yaten, and, Taiki all show up. And then a spectacle surprises them!)

Emerging from the pink lights and shapes is a female body. The person is about the same height as Ami, except two long pigtails can be seen from each side. As the figure comes into focus, you can hear Usagi yell..

"CHIBI-USA"

She disconnects her hand from Rei's, which Rei almost felt like the action held many meanings. Usagi ran as fast as she could and grabbed the pink haired girl.

Everyone else looked on with smiles and almost surprised to see that Chibi-Usa was just about the same height as all of them.

After Usagi let go, Hotaru was about to approach Chibi-Usa when she realized her body started to glow, and, now Hotaru was the same age as Chibi-Usa. 15. Both of their figures almost completed. Hotaru stood barely an inch taller than Chibi-Usa.

"Wow" Hotaru managed to say as she saw what was in front of her and what she became. She was still way too excited and hugged Chibi-Usa as hard as she could.

"Hotaru, it's so good to see you!" Their hug ended and before Chibi-Usa opened her eyes from the excitement, she blurted, "It's great to see everyone!"

She then was able to look around and saw a whole bunch of kids in part of the group, they almost looked scared!

"It's them!" Chibi-Usa cried.

"It's her!" Sora, Jin, and, Tierney yelled.

As soon as most of the children recognized the figure, they hid behind the other girls.

"Wait, wait, wait what?" Haruka asked. A little a nerved because of her confusion.

Akira came out yelling behind her, "That's the evil princess!"

Strange looks all around, mostly bewildered. None of them could ever believe Chibi-Usa was an evil princess.

"What? I am not an evil princess! You guys are the evil minions of the forbidden lord in the future!" Chibi-Usa retaliated.

"Are not!" Jin yelled.

"Are too!" Chibi-Usa stammered.

This repeated for a few more rounds, until Setsuna stepped in.

"Just wait Chibi-Usa, here come in and have a word with me. And we'll try to settle this." Setsuna said calmly, and Chibi-Usa nodded her head and followed her into Rei's room where they would discuss Chibi-Usa's side of the story. Hotaru also followed.

The three lights remembered that they had somewhere to be, but would call Usagi later to see if anything had been figured out, and went on their way.

Serena started crying so Usagi held her and sat down. Usagi didn't say anything because she didn't know what to say. Of course Chibi-Usa wasn't an evil princess, but these kids couldn't be evil. Could they?

Rei sat down next to her also confused. Jeisi stood next to Daily, Megumi, Jin, Sora, Christina, Chihiro, and, Tierney. Little Nathan and Sets also sat on the ground and started playing again, now that their fear had went away from them. Ami and Makoto began to talk with Haruka, Michiru, and, Minako.

"Something isn't right, and, we need to act soon if we don't want to be blind sided!" Haruka exclaimed loudly, making Usagi shake a little. This was too much to handle.

"I don't understand Rei," Usagi whispered, "why does there always have to be conflict?"

Rei's eyes narrowed, she was starting to get angry that Usagi felt so overwhelmed, angry at whatever was causing it. She took a deep breath to cool herself down. Then Ami chimed in, "Let's listen to the children's story while Setsuna listens to Chibi-Usa's."

Everyone nodded even Usagi.

Ami continued,"Sora, would you like to tell us about this?"

Sora at first was a little sad because he thought that they were going to just be cast aside, formed a small smile, and said, "Sure, Mother."

~Meanwhile back in Rei's room~

"We should just get rid of them immediately!" Chibi-Usa was yelling. "I don't even know why they are here, in this time! I came back from the future because their evil lord is supposed to come back here. But not yet, I was trying to beat him! I just don't get this!"

She was still yelling, and, then calmed down. She sighed and then looked to Setsuna and Hotaru.

"So this is what happened, we were all living peacefully in Crystal Tokyo, until a dark lord appeared with 12 minions. Except for the 12 minions you see here are all children, the 12 minions in the future are those exact children, only older. So anyway, they attacked our kingdom! The evil lord believed he was rightful ruler of Crystal Tokyo and wanted to find a way to take over the kingdom. I came back here because he wants to get Usagi now in the past, because we are decently fighting him off in the future. So he and his twelve minions disappeared. But only the evil lord was supposed to come to the past, but he shouldn't be here until tomorrow! I don't know why the kids are here now.!"

Chibi-Usa took another breath out after sputtering out all of that information.

"Hmm," Setsuna pondered, "It seems like you are missing some information in your story. What is the evil lord's name?"

"No one knows. He is in disguise; rumor is he is trying to disguise himself as the Wiseman from our past!"

"Strange, okay…" Setsuna thought some more. "So, what do you suppose we do about the children out there?"

"Eradicate them!" Hotaru blurted out! "No one should come in-between future and destiny! Especially ones trying to destroy it!"

"Hmm," Setsuna made a weird face again, "Fine, if you want to destroy them. Do it. Go out there and eliminate 12 kids."

"Fine! I'll do it!" Hotaru said boldly. She marched out of Rei's room. Chibi-Usa and Setsuna quickly followed. A small smile was noticed on Chibi-Usa's face by Setsuna.

~The story told by Sora and the other children~

"Okay, so in the future we were all living peacefully in Crystal Tokyo. We were just about to have a celebration for the anniversary of Crystal Tokyo's creation when all of a sudden the kingdom turned very dark. There was a being that we could all see, which is the one you guy's are calling Chibi-Usa and she was accompanied by a dark, cloaked figure. They both were claiming that Crystal Tokyo belonged to them and that we children were in the way of doing that. Apparently, before Crystal Tokyo you used to train Chibi-Usa, she claimed to be your daughter but she never really was! It was all a façade to change destiny. She would have gotten away with it until true destiny took a hold and she found out she was going to have to do something about. She has followed us through time to try to get rid of us! That way she can be in control of Crystal Tokyo with that creepy cloaked guy! That's why our families sent us here! To escape her!"

Sora finished. Haruka laughed, "What? You want us to believe that Chibi-Usa isn't Usagi's rightful daughter?"

Michiru gave her girlfriend a rather nasty look. Michiru didn't necessarily agree with Haruka, but she had better compassion knowing that these were kids they were dealing with.

Serena wiggled her way out of Usagi's arms. Usagi sat there basically lifeless. Ami and Makoto knew which side they had to believe. They knew Chibi-Usa was the rightful heir to Crystal Tokyo. They just wish it didn't have to be this way.

Sora looked to his parents with Christina and Chihiro stuck to his sides. "Do you really not believe us? Queen Serenity said it would be hard to believe but she also said that you guys should be able to recognize that we are being honest!" Sora then looked to Usagi, "Do you believe us?"

All of the kids then turned to Usagi. What could Usagi do? She didn't believe that Chibi-Usa was a villain. But she also didn't believe these kids were either. How could she pick a side? She couldn't. She just grabbed her eyes and started crying as hard as she could. She got herself up and took off running into some trees behind the shrine. Rei was about to stand up and follow her when Haruka grabbed her arm.

"Let her go, this is a big decision, hopefully she'll make the right one."

Rei knew that there wasn't a right decision in this case. Obviously both sides were good. Weren't they? Rei looked down to the crying Serena and picked her up.

All of a sudden Sailor Saturn appeared from inside of the building running towards the group with her scythe. Everyone was freaked out because they didn't know what to expect. She stopped before them.

"We have to get rid of these children before they try to kill Chibi-Usa."

Gasps were heard all around. Haruka turned her head to the side; she trusted Hotaru wouldn't say something like that unless she was sure. Michiru also didn't look. The children could never understand why their parents seemingly didn't want them.

Minako started to scream protests toward them. "There has to be other ways! I'm sure Usagi's crystal can do something!"

Chibi-Usa added softly, "This is the only thing I know that can be done, and work."

She was staring at the ground the whole time clenching her fists. "We have to get rid of them before they grow up!"

Minako, Ami, Makoto, and, Rei all stared at the pink haired princess with disbelief.

"No." Rei said. "You might be a princess Chibi-Usa, but, Usagi is queen. She has to make this decision."

"Usagi isn't here right now!" Chibi-Usa yelled!

Hotaru started charging again towards the first child in sight which happened to be Serena. Everyone looked away because they weren't expecting this. None of them wanted this to happen besides Chibi-Usa and Hotaru. Then all of a sudden a light had shown from Serena which made Hotaru stop in place. Serena started screaming and crying. Rei tried to grab her. Usagi heard this noise and started racing back to where everyone was. She was amazed when she saw Sailor Saturn only a few feet away from this small child with her scythe. Serena was still screaming and a light burst from her up into the sky! A crescent moon appeared on her forehead!

Usagi and Rei both reached down to comfort the girl at the same time. She stopped screaming and was now only sobbing.

"What were you doing?" Usagi yelled looking at Sailor Saturn

Sailor Saturn was about to answer when a dark vortex appeared in the sky above them! A dark cloaked figure stepped out of the passageway between their world and the unknown.
