Chapter 10
"I remember everything." Avani said as the other girls began nodding.
"We failed you, Queen Serenity." Isaura said not even lifting her eyes to meet the queen's.
"Whatever happened to Beryl anyway?" Kisha blurted out the question that everyone else wanted to know the answer to.
"I locked her away inside the power of the crystal and sent her to the future where my daughter, the Princess Serenity was able to defeat her." The queen explained about how Serenity and her court were reborn on earth and how they were able to defeat Beryl. "But now that the Fairy of Chaos has returned to Earth, the only hope for protecting the Galaxy is the ten of you. Please take the Silver Crystal and split it once more into the ten Fairy Stones."
"The Fairy Stones?" Dalila asked as she looked at the crystal in Isaura's hands.
"How do we split the Silver Crystal?" Isaura asked.
"The fairy stones are the source of your powers. Being the guardians of particular elements as you are, you are able to control the elements without the possesion of your stones, but to truly tap into your powers as fairies you need to have the stones with you. The Silver Crystal was made from the ten Fairy Stones so if you can all feel your power inside the crystal and can concentrate on pulling out, then the crystal should break apart into its separate elements." Queen Serenity explained never taking her eyes off of the crystal. Figuring that they had nothing to loose the ten girls decided to give it a try. All ten of them closed their eyes and concentrated on pulling their elemental powers out of the crystal. With a noise that sounded like shattering glass the crystal broke into ten pieces so suddenly that all ten girls fell backwards. When they opened their eyes they were once more in Crystal Tokyo.
"Huh?" Sailor Stone noticed they weren't on the moon anymore.
"I…is this?" Sailor Glacier was looking down at a small aqua colored stone in her hands.
"The Fairy Stones!" The rest of the fairy sailors chorused when they realized they were all holding similar stones, but the celebration was cut short when they heard menacing laughter above them.
"So the weakings have returned to play, how sweet!" Chaos appeared before them once more, laughing. "I was getting bored with these cats!" He motioned to two cats on the ground in between himself and the fairy sailors.
"Luna!" Sailor Aqua yelled as she recognized one of the cats.
"Artemis!" Sailor Wind yelled. The cats were lying very still, a little too still. "You're gonna pay for that. Come on guys let's see what these stones can do! Air Fairy Power!" Sailor Wind blinded by rage as she called upon the higher level of her fairy powers. Wings appeared on her back as her uniform changed slightly. The puffy material around the arms and skirt disappeared along with her gloves, choker, the bow on her back, and her broach was replaced with her Fairy Stone as her tiara was replaced with the symbol of her element, a pink V. "Fairy Wind Screamer!" The attack looked exactly like her old one, except that now instead of just pushing gusts of wind at Chaos, there was a ball of screaming wind headed for him. Chaos tried to deflect the attack like he had the others, only this time it barely slowed the attack. It hit him with enough force to send him flying backwards. Sailor Wind had one fist clenched in front of her and was barely aware of the change that had occurred as she spoke. "That'll teach you to mess with us!"
"S…Sailor Wind?" Sailor Aqua spoke timidly as she and the rest of them looked at Sailor Wind in wonder. It was then that Sailor Wind noted the changes in her appearance.
"Ahhhh…..I've got WINGS!" Sailor Wind yelled in shock as she realized that there was a pair of ornately decorated wings on her back resembling those of a butterfly. They were trimmed in silver, were speckled with pink dots reminding the others her transformation into Sailor Wind, and the background of the wings were a pale gold color.
"I think that is what Queen Serenity meant when she said that we needed these stones to tap into our fairy powers." Sailor Stone said as she looked between Sailor Wind and her own green colored stone. "Here goes nothing. Earth Fairy Power." Her uniform changed like Sailor Wind's did and her tiara was replaced with the symbol for earth, a large green M. Sailor Stone's wings were orange and trimmed in silver like Sailor Winds, only in the middle of them she had green shapes that looked like gems cut in various ways glittering all over her wings. "Fairy Earth Crash!" Just like with Sailor Wind, Sailor Stone's attack looked the same as she punched the earth, but this time the ground beneath Chaos's feet exploded upward engulfing him. Sailor Stone cheered as she stood. "Alright!"
"Come on everyone, let's go! Water Fairy Power!" Sailor Aqua was the next to go. Her uniform changed and her tiara was replaced with the two intertwining blue circles, the symbol of water. Her wings were a pale yellow with the same silver trimming and little marks that looked exactly like blue water marks. "Fairy Water Smash!" Sailor Aqua hit him with an attack of water that looked just like her old one only it was a concentrated ball of water instead of just a spray of water.
"How fun, you managed to get your powers a bit stronger." Chaos said sarcastically when he recovered from from the water attack. "But unfortunately for you, not strong enough! Chaos Blast!" He sent a massive energy ball flying straight at them.
"I've had about enough of you!" Sailor Pyro yelled at the top of her lungs as everyone could see the fires burning in her eyes. She was screeching to the point that it was hard to classify what came out of her mouth as words. "Fire Fairy Power!" When her uniform changed her tiara was replaced with the sign of fire, a red triangle, and her wings were a red/purple color that was trimmed in silver with a red design that looked like flames dancing across her wings. "Fairy Fire Flash!" The attack was exactly like her old one only with the exception that instead of a ring of fire that came off of her, a flame shot from her like an arrow and hit Chaos directly.
"Let's go!" Sailor Glacier said while looking at Sailor Forrest, Sailor Metallica, and Sailor Lightning. "Ice Fairy Power!" Her uniform changed as her tiara was replaced with the three aqua colored, intertwining circles which made up the symbol of ice. Her wings were bright orange, were trimmed in silver, and had an aqua colored icicle design around the edges with the symbol of ice scattered throughout the middle of the wings. The other three senshi followed suit and began to transform.
"Wood Fairy Power!" Sailor Forrest's uniform changed like the others. Dark green wings appeared on her back. They had silver trimming and in the middle was the brown twig-like tree representing the element of wood. The same character was now on her forehead in the place of her tiara.
"Metal Fairy Power!" Sailor Metallica's tiara disappeared to reveal the symbol of metal, three silvery "x" shaped marks in a triangle formation. Her blue wings held the same symbol in the middle of them and were trimmed in silver like all of the others. Her choker and gloves disappeared as her broach was replaced by the stone she held.
"Thunder Fairy Power!" Sailor Lightning's uniform changed as well. Her tiara was replaced by orange triangles with one common side to form the symbol of thunder. The same orange symbol was on her pink wings that were trimmed in silver as well.
"Alright creep, now you're gonna pay! Fairy Ice Surprise!" Sailor Glacier's closed fist came straight out towards Chaos, opening it when her arm was stretched as far as it could go. When her hand opened a rush of ice crystals came flying out, hitting Chaos and freezing him in place.
"Fairy Wood Grow!" Sailor Forrest executed her attack as she threw a seed just below the frozen Chaos. Quickly the seed sprouted and a tree began to grow, encasing Chaos up to his neck as he began to thaw out. Sailor Metallica and Sailor Lighting teamed up and sent their attacks together.
"Fairy Metal Entwine!"
"Fairy Thunder Blast!" Thin, but strong metal rods flew around Chaos from Sailor Metallica's hands and wrapped tightly around him causing some of the tree wood to break under the pressure as a massive ball of lightning headed straight for him. The metal rods helped the lighting make full contact with Chaos and soon he was lying on the ground covered in black ash, still smoldering.
"Alright we did it!" Sailor Glacier yelled when Chaos was still lying on the ground after a moment or two.
"Don't hold your breath." Chaos muttered as he began to rise. "You may have gotten lucky that time, but even with those little stones, those mere trinkets you are still going to lose! Chaos Blast!" The Fairy Sailors staggered backwards from the force of the blast.
"Come on, let's do our four element attack!" Sailor Wind said to Sailor Aqua, Sailor Pyro and Sailor Stone. Sailor Aqua, Sailor Pyro, and Sailor Stone nodded in response.
"Let's beat this creep! He's really starting to get on my nerves!" Sailor Pyro yelled as an aura of fire was nearly visible around her.
"Air Power" Sailor Wind stood with her arms up in the air as Sailor Aqua, Sailor Stone, and Sailor Pyro moved to stand with her. The four of them were standing in a circle with their backs to one another and their arms up in the air.
"Water Power" Sailor Aqua summoned her power as Sailor Wind's created a small glowing orb in her hands. Sailor Aqua quickly followed suit.
"Earth Power"
"Fire Power" The four orbs joined together in one large orb as it flattened out and began looking quite similar to a compass with Sailor Stone as North, Sailor Pyro as South, Sailor Aqua as West and Sailor Wind as East.
"Four-Point Splicer!" The compass started spinning like mad looking much like a saw blade as it began heading straight for Chaos. He was quick with his dodging and took to the air for added ease, but wasn't quite quick enough to excape the spinning blade. In the few times it circled him it left a number of rather deep cuts on his arms, legs, and shoulders with one gaping wound on his side. The attack managed to shred his wings enough that he could no longer fly.
"Alright here I go!" Sailor Shadow yelled as she held up her Fairy Stone. "Darkness Fairy Power!" The symbol of darkness shone brightly on her forehead as her tiara disappeared along with her choker, gloves, and the bow on the back of her uniform. Her fairy stone replaced her broach as wings appeared on her back trimmed in silver. They were covered in an intricate black and white design. "Fairy Darkness Obliterate!" Sailor Shadow sent an attack that looked exactly like her old one had towards Chaos, who flew backward from the impact. She turned to Sailor Lumina. "Come on and call your powers, I can't do a Gemini Attack on my own!"
"Ok." Sailor Lumina nodded still a bit unsure of herself, but held up her fairy stone anyway. "Light Fairy Power!" She could feel her uniform change and wings appear on her back. They were the same intricate black and white wings trimmed in silver that Sailor Shadow had. Sailor Lumina turned to Sailor Shadow when the transformation was finished. "Alright I'm ready for the Gemini Attack when you are."
"Then let's go!" Sailor Shadow said as she and Sailor Lumina got into position.
"Fairy Gemini Attack!" They both shouted as they executed the attack like they had before and sent it flying towards Chaos.
"No!" Chaos screamed as he put up a sheild that didn't do any good. His time was over and he was destroyed by the attack.
"Alright, we beat him!" Sailor Forrest said as she high-fived Sailor Lightning.
"So what about this place?" Sailor Metallica asked timidly as she looked around at the ruins around them. "We won, but I feel kinda bad since it cost us the destruction of this place."
"Wait, wasn't the Silver Crystal supposed to be all powerful, you know, powerful enough to say rebuild the world?" Sailor Wind asked the others as she remembered the memories that she and the others had regained from Queen Serenity on the moon.
"Hey, yeah! You're right!" Sailor Aqua said beaming and then as suddenly as the cheerfulness had come, it left once again. "But we destroyed the Silver Crystal when we got our Fairy Stones."
"Sailor Aqua, I think you're missing the point here!" Sailor Pyro said in frustration.
"Yeah I mean we originally used our Fairy Stones to create the Silver Crystal in the first place so why can't we just use them to make it again?" Sailor Stone offered and received nods from most of the others.
"I say it's at least worth a try." Sailor Wind took her Fairy Stone off of her uniform and her appearance reverted to the way it had been before she called the power of the Fairy Stone, back to the way she looked when she first became Sailor Wind. The others quickly followed suit. Sailor Wind held out her Fairy Stone as did the others as they all concentrated on the stones merging to form the Silver Crystal.
"We did it!" Sailor Glacier cried when they opened their eyes to reveal one Silver Crystal in their hands instead of 10 Fairy Stones. "Let's see if we can get this thing to rebuild this place." They all held the Silver Crystal up high and were all asking for a single wish, to rebuild Crystal Tokyo. Slowly the darkness was lifting and the city itself was being rebuild. When they were finished all of the Fairy Sailors were out of breath. Sailor Aqua, Sailor Stone, Sailor Metallica, and Sailor Glacier sat down on the grass until they were able to catch their breath.
"Oh wow, it's so beautiful!" Sailor Aqua cried when she caught a glimpse of the crystal city before them.
"You did it! I'm so proud of all of you!" Luna cried as she and Artemis ran over to the group followed by the three fallen Sailor Soldiers that they had seen when the Fairy Sailors had first arrived.
"We want to invite you to come stay at the Crystal Palace as an honor for helping us beat the Fairy of Chaos." Uranus said as she, Neptune, and Saturn all fell to one knee out of respect. Sailor Shadow who had been the one to end up holding the crystal shook her head.
"We only did what was right and now we're returning to you the Silver Crystal." Sailor Shadow spoke for the Fairy Sailors as she handed the Silver Crystal back to Luna with a smile. "Right now we only want to go home."
