Chapter 10
The Escape
Zelena took her new pawn through the forest. She didn't want to risk the girl running away, so Zelena floated her along. She hated how quiet the girl was and that she refused to tell her name. Looking back, she saw the girl stir mid-air.
"So you're awake." Zelena said, disgusted.
"Yes." Was all Rini could muster. She had no energy.
"Good. You can start helping me soon."
Rini rolled her eyes. Her captor was nearly impossible. "I have no energy."
Zelena smiled big. "Even better, darling. Maybe you'll die from overexertion."
"Wouldn't be much use of me then, would it?" Rini asked, sarcastically.
Zelena didn't say anything, and Rini grew agitated.
"You have no idea what you're doing." Rini stated plainly.
Now Zelena grew agitated. She hated this girl and her comebacks. She dropped Rini to the ground again and got down to her level. "Watch your tongue!" She said as she magically removed Rini's tongue and sealed her lips. Rini frantically tried to find her tongue in her mouth and started panicking as it was not there.
Zelena laughed. "That'll teach you!"
Rini sat with her head resting on her knees. It was all she could do to not cry.
Zelena started to walk away. By ten or so paces she looked back to Rini sitting on the ground. "Come," she said to her.
Rini didn't move.
"COME!" Zelena said, using magic to make Rini get to her feet.
Rini felt her feet move against her will. She felt like an automaton. She moved like this for what seemed like miles. Occasionally, her mind would blank out and she would still be walking whichever way the Wicked Witch wanted her to. Rini was getting tired of this, she wanted answers.
"Mmmhmmhhhmmmm." Rini tried talking, to no avail.
"Cat got your tongue?"
"Nnnnmmmnnn!"
"Spit it out!"
In an instant, Rini had her tongue again, her mouth unsealed. "Why are you doing this!" She shouted.
"Don't question me, Small Lady. Don't forget who is your master now."
"You are not my master!"
Zelena put her palm to her face. "Have you really not grasped it yet?"
Rini reached in her bag and pulled out her brooch. Before Zelena could do anything, she yelled, "Moon Crisis Power!"
To both Zelena and Rini's surprise, the transformation worked. Zelena stood in awe as Rini transformed in front of her.
After her transformation, Sailor Chibi Moon stood in front of Zelena. She swayed for a moment; her lack of energy weighing down on her. "I'm Sailor Chibi Moon!" She started, her and Serena's usual greeting. Memories came flooding back of all the battles she had done. She knew she must go on and not break down crying. She continued, "In the name of the moon, I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! And that means you!" She finished, pointing at Zelena.
Zelena stood there with one eyebrow raised. "What?"
The only attack that came to mind, and that she really could use was Supersonic Waves. Using her built up emotion, Chibi Moon began to cry. Within seconds her red odango covers began to emit supersonic waves at Zelena. The witch was knocked off her feet. Rini took this as her chance to get away. She ran off into the forest.
