Chapter 12: Continuing the Crusade
At the school house, every pony in the room were talking about well… the latest topic.
The Sailor Guardians…
"My favorite is Sailor Mars!" said Scootaloo, "She's just as awesome as Sailor Rainbow Dash."
"I like Sailor Jupiter." Said Apple Bloom, "I don't want it is about her."
"I like Sailor Mercury." Said Sweetie.
"But she can only make fog." Pointed out Scootaloo.
"So…" said Sweetie.
"Now, now class." Said Cheerilee, "I know that everyone likes talking about the Sailor Guardians."
"Which is your favorite?" asked Apple Bloom.
"A tie… between Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus." Said Cheerilee, "But we have to get back to class."
Most of the class groaned and they began their schoolwork.
At the library, there was well… a Sailor Guardian meeting.
"Nephrite uses the stars to go after his targets." Said Jadeite.
"Do you mean using the stars?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"He's able to determine who will ach their peak of energy then once it had reached it peak he will drain it." Said Jadeite, "He does so by adding a mark to the target's item."
"IS that all that happens?" asked Twilight.
Jadeite shook his head, "The target becomes more irritable and obsessive as time goes on." He explained, "At the least the end result is better than… oh no…"
"What?" asked Twilight.
"Is it okay, if I use your dragon to send a letter to the Princess?" asked Jadeite.
"I have a name you know." Said Spike coming in.
"I never caught it." Admitted Jadeite.
"Seriously?" muttered Spike.
"Seriously." Said Jadeite.
"What's wrong?" asked Twilight.
"I'll tell you when the time's right." Said Jadeite, "I have to tell the Princesses first."
The 6 examined looks as Jadeite went to write the letter.
Sometime later, in the school, it was time for recess.
The Cute Mark Crusaders were talking about the Sailor Guardians again.
"You're still talking about the Sailor Guardians." Said Diamond Tiara.
"Yeah, so?" asked Scootaloo.
"Everyone knows they're not real." Said Silver Spoon.
Diamond Tiara blinked, "I told you I saw them didn't I?" asked Diamond Tiara.
"No… you didn't." said Silver Spoon.
"Well I did." Said Diamond Tiara, "But I don't get why they're so popular."
"Because they're real super heroes" said Scootaloo rolling her eyes.
"What about your sisters?" asked Diamond Tiara.
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Apple Bloom.
"If memory serves you were pointing out how awesome they were." Said Diamond Tiara.
The three Cutie Mark Crusaders began to glare at the two stuck up girls.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" cheered Snips.
The five looked at Snips.
"Uh-oh…" he said as he ran away while Snails just stood there.
"Why does he keep doing that?" asked Sweetie.
"I have no idea." Said Silver Spoon.
This fortunately stopped the argument as they didn't want to start up Snips chanting again.
Meanwhile in a dark mansion outside of the town Nephrite was looking for the next target. The star beamed it into his horn and he saw the vision, Diamond Tiara.
"So she's the one." Thought Nephrite.
After school, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were going over a list of things to do.
"Okay, we tired secret shoppers, candy eaters and pillow testers." Said Apple Bloom going over the list.
"I still say that we should try to candy eaters again." Said Scootaloo.
"No way…" said Sweetie, "I don't want to experience that ever again."
"How about Cutie Mark Crusader Sailor Guardians?" asked Apple Bloom.
The other two looked at each other and agreed "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS SAILOR GUARDIANS!"
They then got the costumes.
"Sailor Sun!" said Scootaloo wearing one with purple collar and skirt with an orange ribbon
"Sailor Earth!" said Apple Bloom, wearing one with a red collar and skirt with yellow ribbons.
"Sailor Eris!" said Sweetie wearing one with light pink collar and skirt with lavender ribbons.
Both Apple Bloom and Scootaloo looked at each other, both were extremely confused.
"It's that Dwarf Planet that that astronomer Princess Luna sent to talk to us about Pluto." Said Sweetie.
All she got a blank stare.
"Fine then." Said Sweetie, "Sailor Star!"
"CUTIE MARK CRUSADER SAILOR GUARDIANS! YAY!" yelled the three.
Meanwhile with the two stuck up ponies. They were just talking, about whatever.
"Why were they even put into our class?" asked Diamond Tiara, "They shouldn't be even going our school."
"I know right." Said Silver Spoon.
That was when suddenly Diamond Tiara tripped, it was hard enough to have her tiara fall off.
"Are you okay?" asked a voice.
They looked up and saw "Maxfield Stallion".
"I'm fine." Said Diamond Tiara.
"Here… let me get your tiara." Said "Maxfield".
He place his horn on the middle diamond of Diamond Tiara's diamond tiara. The mark appeared and he placed it on her head.
That was when she felt a strange charge go though her.
"Are you okay?" asked Silver Spoon.
"I'm… fine…" said Diamond Tiara.
The next day at school, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were wearing they're Sailor Guardians costumes.
"Cheerilee." Muttered Diamond Tiara, "They're on costumes…"
Cheerilee looked at the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
"Now girls, you know the rules no costumes allowed unless it's the day of nightmare night or your LARPing." Said Cheerilee.
"Uh… what's LARPing?" asked Snails.
That was when Lighting Bolt suddenly came into the room, "LARPing is the majestic of all the entrainment! It brings joy to so many yet fear to the same amount."
The class stared at the white Pegasus who they realized was dressed like a knight.
"Why are you here?" asked Cheerilee confused.
"Twas flying freely when I heard the call of the LARP that I gave birth to." Said Lighting Bolt.
"What?" asked Cheerilee.
"I was flying by when I heard you talking about the LARPing rule I helped create as a filly." Said Lighting Bolt.
"Oh…" said Cheerilee blinking.
"Now fare thee well! For I will be searching for the crystal sword of the Moon Princess!" said Lighting Bolt who left suddenly.
"I think we can all agree to pretend that never happened." Said Cheerilee.
Most of the classes nodded in agreement, expect for Silver Spoon who seemed down for some reason.
During Recess, Silver Spoon was crying.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Scootaloo.
"What does it matter?" asked Silver Spoon, "You don't even like me?"
"Yeah ,but it seems weird you of all ponies." Said Apple Bloom.
"Well, well isn't the old grey mare, it seems like you're talking to the blank flanks." Said Diamond Tiara suddenly showing up.
"I'm younger that you." Cried Silver Spoon.
"Whatever." Muttered Diamond Tiara walking away.
"That was weird." Said Scootaloo.
"She's been like this since yesterday." Cried Silver Spoon.
"All right! I think this is a case for the…" said Apple Bloom.
"CUTIE MARK CRUSADER SAILOR GUARDIANS!" yelled all three.
"What does that have to do with being a Sailor Guardian?" asked Silver Spoon.
"Um... we are trying the help you." Said Sweetie.
"Never mind…" mumbled Silver Spoon.
That afternoon at the newly opened jewelry store. Diamond Tiara was trying on jewelry.
"Why are you trying out so many?" asked Jadeite.
"Because…" said Diamond Tiara.
That was when music swelled up.
"Sorry but there's a rule in the store." Said Jadeite, "No musical numbers."
"Why?" asked Diamond Tiara.
"Because of a certain pink ponies who I will never name does those a lot." Said Jadeite.
"It's not me is it?" asked Diamond Tiara.
"Trust me, if you were that pony I would be screaming." said Jadeite.
"Diamond Tiara." Said a voice.
She turned to see the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Silver Spoon.
"What do you want?" asked Diamond Tiara.
"We just wanted to see if you were all right." Said Apple Bloom.
"Why should you care! You ruined my Cute-ceañera!" yelled Diamond Tiara.
That was when the mark of Nephrite began to glow.
"I may not know what a Cute-ceañera is…" said Jadeite.
Diamond Tiara glared at him and he saw that mark.
"Girl you have to leave now!" said Jadeite.
"Why?" asked Scootaloo.
"Because she's being controlled by the Dark Kingdom!" said Jadeite.
"The Dark Kingdom?" asked Scootaloo.
"You know the Sailor Guardians enemy." Said Sweetie.
"How do you know that?" asked Silver Spoon.
"Until this store opened he's been staying with my sister." Said Sweetie.
"Oh…" said Silver Spoon.
That was when the Youma came out the Tiara, sucking away all of Diamond Tiara's energy. The Cute Mark Crusaders and Silver Spoon Screamed.
"Great… just great…" thought Jadeite, "What am I going to do, should I get the girl's out here, warn the Guardians or off the Youma. I don't have any of the magic I had when I was with the Dark Kingdom."
"Someone help!" cried Silver Spoon.
"That was when Lighting Bolt came though the door.
"Innocent fillies! I have come to save the day!" said Lighting Bolt, still in her armor.
That was when she saw it was a Youma.
"Oh horse apples… I thought it was just kids pretending." Said Lighting Bolt.
That was when the Youma shot a beam at the LARPer Covering her in diamond.
This only made the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Silver Spoon scream even more.
The Youma looked at the four fillies and smiled evilly. It shot a beam at them.
"Silence Wall!"
The Wall protected the young Fillies.
They saw all 6 Sailor Guardians.
"You girls okay?" asked Sailor Moon.
"Yes…" answered Sweetie.
That was when Jadeite suddenly screamed.
"Ghost chilies! They're everywhere! They physically burn!" yelled Jadeite.
"What's that about?" asked Scootaloo.
"Don't ask." Said Sailor Mars.
"I think I should calm him down." Said Sailor Mercury.
The other five looked at her, causing Sailor Mercury to blush slightly.
"It's nothing…" said Sailor Mercury.
"So you think…" said Sailor Jupiter.
That was when the Youma yelled tired of being annoyed.
It shot another beam, but the Sailor Guardians managed to dodge, they saw the location it shot at was now covered in diamonds.
"It had some sort of diamond power." Said Sailor Moon.
"Thanks you captain obvious." Mumbled Sailor Mars.
"How can we stop diamonds, they're super hard?" asked Sailor Venus.
"Fire Soul!" shouted Sailor Mars.
The fire hurt the Youma.
"Well fire…" said Sailor Mars.
"Maybe it's energy." Said Sailor Moon.
"Energy?" asked Sailor Venus.
"Okay!" said Sailor Venus.
"Crescent Beam!"
The energy beam hit the Youma, sending it to the ground.
"All right! My turn!" said Sailor Moon.
"Moon Tiara Action!"
With that the Youma was destroyed.
"What's going on?" asked Diamond Tiara.
The Diamond coating also disappeared.
"Fighting evil by moon light…" sang Lighting Bolt in a daze before hitting the ground and shouting "I'm okay!"
"I'm in that new Jewelry Store!" said Diamond Tiara realizing where she was, she then saw Jadeite on the floor in his Pinkie induced fear, "It was his fault! Wasn't it!"
"Cupcakes! Cupcakes everywhere! They're smiling at me!" he yelled.
"Never mind…" said Diamond Tiara.
"It was your Tiara." Said Silver Spoon, "The monster…"
"Youma…" corrected Sailor Venus.
"Came out of it." Said Silver Spoon.
"That's weird." Said Diamond Tiara.
Silver Spoon hugged her friend, "I'm so glad you're back to normal."
"What?" asked Diamond Tiara.
"Just never mind… let's leave these losers behind." Said Silver Spoon.
There was an awkward silence as they left.
"So…" said Sailor Moon changing the subject, "Why are you dressed up Sailor Guardian costumes?"
The three Cutie Mark Crusaders blushed.
"Forsooth! They have become LARPers like me!" said Lighting Bolt.
"No… we haven't!" said Apple Bloom.
"Then try out LARPing! Perhaps it shall be your special talent!" said Lighting Bolt.
"Run?" asked Apple Bloom.
"Good idea!" said Scootaloo.
And so the three Cutie Mark Crusaders ran away as fast as possible.
As the store was empty, they de-transformed, and after managing to get Jadeite to clam down.
"I forgot you coming to check out the store" said Jadeite.
"Why do I have to stand this far away!" yelled Pinkie from the other side of the store.
"Because you still terrify me!" yelled Jadeite.
"IT looks like that Nephrite will go after foals too." Sighed Twilight.
"Hey at least it's easy to look." Said Jadeite, "You just have to find a pony that more irritable than usual… "
"What?" asked Pinkie.
Jadeite rolled his eyes.
"We'll have to talk about this later, after I fully recover from that c-word induced flashback." Said Jadeite.
"C-word?" asked Applejack.
"I think he means cupcakes." Said Rainbow Dash.
That was when Jadeite screamed, and once again fell to the ground.
"I think Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash should leave." Said Rarity.
"What!" yelled Pinkie.
Meanwhile in Canterlot Castle.
"Hazah!" came a cheer from, Luna's chambers.
That was Princess Celestia came into Luna's chambers and saw her younger sister celebrating as much as possible.
"What's going on?" asked Princess Celestia.
"I did it! I finally did it!" said Princess Luna.
What?" asked Princess Celestia.
Luna help up a necklace, it was black with that in the shape of the Pluto symbol.
"Then that means…" said Princess Celestia.
"The 7th Sailor Guardian, Sailor Pluto." Said Princess Luna.
"Have you chosen the pony?" asked Princess Celestia.
"Yes I have…" said Princess Luna.
At the Cute Mark Crusaders Hideout, they sighed.
"I don't' think we're doing Cutie Mark Crusaders Sailor Guardians right." Said Sweetie.
"Let's save this for another time." Said Apple Bloom.
"So Lighting Bolt doesn't mistake us for LARPers…" said Scootaloo, "Whatever that means…"
And so the 7th Sailor Guardian would be on the way soon … and the cutie Mark Crusaders learn that being Cutie Mark Crusader Sailor Guardians takes more research…
