Chibi-Usa sat in front of Usagi's mirror, gazing at her reflection as she let out her oadangos. Her rumpled, sugar pink hair went slightly past her shoulders as she pulled on her pajamas.
As she climbed into the bed by Usagi she gazed scornfully at her future mother's new brooch. It just wasn't fair…. Usagi's power was always higher than hers, or, they were the equals. Pushing the thought out of her head, she pulled up the covers.
~ Darkness surrounded her, she felt lost, powerless. And she was alone. Or was she? She wondered as a voice called out to her.
"Little Maiden…"
She knew that voice, but the last time she had heard it was almost a year ago, when he left her. "Pega-" She paused, and corrected herself. "Elios!"
A brilliant blue light shone through the darkness, giving her light to see, in the middle of the light stood the priest of Elysian, Elios, but he didn't seem to know she was there. "Little Maiden…" he called again, his voice sad.
"Elios!" Chibi-Usa cried. "I'm here! I'm here!"
He was facing away from her, still calling her name as if he hadn't heard her cries back to him…~
Chibi-usa woke with a start. That was just a dream, but not any normal dream, it seemed like the dreams she had when she shared her days with Elios…should she take it as a warning? She wasted no time deciding. Yes, it was a warning and she must act.
She clambered out of bed and dressed quickly, being careful not to wake Usagi up, though she needn't be, Usagi could sleep through anything. Writing a note to her future parents, she explained why she had gone.
Chibi Moon stood in the park, staring up at the sky. She had decided Elios was in danger, but how was she supposed to find him? She couldn't necessarily get to Elysian, if that where he was in the first place. In fact, she could hardly get anywhere.
Suddenly she didn't seem to be in the park again, just like her dream, darkness surrounded her abruptly…before it slowly faded into glittering stars around her. She was in space, at Sagittarius Zero Star.
A cold breeze whipped by her, flapping her hair and fuku wildly.
Kaosu stood a few yards in front of her, looking at the young soldier who was staring at him with, wide, ruby eyes. "You won't find your 'love' here." He laughed cruelly.
Chibi Moon set her jaw firm. "So it was a trick!" She demanded, trying to act brave.
Kaosu laughed, like a normal person, "If you wish to put it so bluntly, then yes, it was a trick."
"Why?" She asked now, slowly.
"Figure it out, Small Lady Selenity." A sphere of dark energy, headed straight for her.
"CHIBIMOON!" The familiar voice of Sailor Jupiter rang out as she pushed the young senshi out of the way, dodging it herself and turned to face Kaosu.
Chibi Moon leapt to her feet and gave Jupiter a big hug. "Jupiter! You're alright!"
Kaosu sneered at Jupiter.
Jupiter smiled down at Chibi Moon then looked back at Kaosu with a shrug. "I'm a Sailor Soldier, and by the way, Chibi Moon's to young and inexperienced to go against you." She ignored the look Chibi Moon gave her at that.
"She chose to come, and your troubles are only just beginning."
"We'll fight our way through them, like we always have before." Jupiter snarled, her face crossed into an expression of fear as Kaosu threw her backwards and she vanished.
He turned back to Chibi Moon. "You're looking for the priest of Elysian, aren't you?"
Chibi Moon glared at Kaosu. "His name is Elios." She was awaiting Kaosu's answer when a small area in front of her began to shimmer and glow as a familiar object appeared. At first glance, it looked like a turquoise lamp stand, with golden handles, until you saw the jeweled orb resting on top, outlined in gold, it was also a beautiful turquoise color. Decorated with what seemed a jeweled bracelet on its side, and a red heart, inside a sun with wings coming off the side sat on top.
Chibi Moon grasped it delicately. "The Stallion Rave…" She murmured in awe, she had thought she lost it after Elios had left. "Pegasus." She said, calling him, using the name of which she had known him for so long. "Pegasus!"
Kaosu watched the young soldier, not really interested in what she was doing. He was pretty sure that help wouldn't come, and if it did it would be too late.
The orb shimmered slightly and Chibi Moon watched it hopefully. "Pegasus…" The glow brightened –which stunned Kaosu – and engulfed them both in a golden, tinted black, light.
Usagi stretched and yawned; pushing the blankets aside she sleepily looked at her clock. 9:50. She blinked, and smiled. Oh well, it wasn't time for school.
As she crawled out of bed, a small piece of paper caught her eye and she picked it up, reading it slowly so she could understand everything. Chibi-Usa? She thought, when finished.
She raced into the hall, picked up a phone and dialed the number she knew by memory. "Mamo-chan!" She cried when he answered.
"Usako?" Mamoru asked on the other line. "Nan desu ka?"
Usagi wailed into the receiver. "I must've done something!"
At his apartment Mamoru sighed. "Usako, calm down, and explain slowly."
Usagi didn't seem to hear his advice. "Chibi-Usa's gone!"
Mamoru put a hand to his head. "I'm sure she's fine, please don't worry too much."
Usagi was silent for a moment, then hiccupped. "Can I come over?"
Mamoru chuckled, "Of course, Usako."
They found themselves surrounded by white-pillared buildings, the place was beautiful shining with, what it seemed, it's own power. Chibi Moon knew where they were instantly. "Elysian!" She cried, turning in a small circle to see everything. The last time she had been there it wasn't much of a sight; only the buildings had been safe from the attacks of the dead moon.
She blushed, remembering when she had kissed Elios, finding him unconcious in this land. Shaking the memory from her head she turned to face the palace, remembering something, not only did Elios live here but this was her papa's kingdom as well.
"Little Maiden?" A familiar voice asked.
Chibi Moon blinked. Elios stood in the main corridor of the palace that Prince Endymion had once lived in. She smiled. "Elios!" She still held the Stallion Rave in her hands and dropped it as she ran to greet him.
He wrapped his arms around her tightly. "Why did you call?" He asked slowly, carefully, his eyes on Kaosu as he spoke. "And what's he doing here?"
Chibi Moon pulled back, "The Stallion Rave just…. appeared…it took us both here."
"He doesn't deserve to be here, he is one with a bad heart."
Chibi Moon nodded. "I know, but I couldn't stop it."
Finally he looked down at her, "But you're here at least." He smiled.
Kaosu scoffed, "You're item," He motioned to the Stallion Rave on the ground. "Transported you here, seeking refuge I assume?"
Chibi Moon shook her head. "You tricked me, first. I am not seeking refuge, though I may be in training still I am a Sailor Senshi."
He raised an eyebrow. "Indeed."
He gathered a ball of dark energy in his hands, Elios noticed this immediately and warriors and generals lined around the buildings, all drawing swords.
"Gomen yo?" an annoyed voice asked, a senshi emerged between two warriors, pushing her way through. "You 'warriors' don't stand a chance, this is a job for senshi."
Chibi Moon heard Elios sigh and looked the new arrival over. She was dressed in a periwinkle fuku; even her bows were the same color as the other pieces of her fuku. Her hair was light lavender, near periwinkle not quite, hanging in millions of small, thin, braids and her eyes were a beautiful gray. Her boots were similar to Neptune's originals, but more of a type that dancers would wear. They laced up halfway to her knees and were made of a silken material. Her feet must get sore… Chibi Moon thought. "Who is she?" She asked.
Elios sighed again. "Sailor Stardust, soldier of Elysian."
Chibi Moon blinked. "Elysian has a soldier? Why? It's already protected by the golden crystal."
Stardust turned to look at Elios, but Chibi Moon caught her eyes, she started forward. "Well, so this is the young princess, heir to the silver millennium."
Chibi Moon nodded. "I am Small Lady Selenity."
Stardust ignored her and looked at Elios. "What's she doing here?" It was clear enough that she was annoyed
"Never mind that Stardust." He jerked his head in the direction of Kaosu.
Now Stardust sighed and went forward, leaving a comment. "If you weren't Prince Endymion-sama's priest I wouldn't do what you told me."
He laughed. "I'm sure you wouldn't."
Kaosu snickered as Stardust drew nearer to him, and he quickly released the dark ball of energy.
Stardust swiftly dodged to the side, and the powerful attack heading straight for Elios and Chibi Moon. "Whoops…"
Elios began to throw Chibi Moon out of the way, but he had reacted too slowly, Chibi Moon was engulfed in a black light…but, surprising everyone, it turned a sugar pink. Soon enough she emerged, her fuku much like the others, her second skirt was a golden color and her gloves cut down to a 'V'. Having a new form, she pouted.
Stardust arched an eyebrow at her.
"It's always like this!" The young princess complained. "I'm always the same as mama's guardians!"
Elios smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder. "No need to worry." He advised.
Kaosu looked disappointed, but of course anyone would if his or her plans didn't go correctly.
Chibi Moon nodded, feeling comforted by Elios's words.
Kaosu sneered. "You were lucky enough that time." He hissed to the people surrounding him. "Next time you won't be."
Chibi Moon stuck out her tongue. "We'll see!" She blinked, not aware that Kaosu was conjuring up another attack. She had felt…something…as if confirming her suspicions an unfamiliar object appeared before her. It was a sugar pink scepter, outlined in gold. It held a gold incrusted heart on top, with wings coming off the side. She stared at it. "Elios…do you know…?"
Elios shook his head as he watched her grab it; even Stardust had turned, staring.
As soon as she held it, it glowed with a brilliant power, in sync with her Silver Crystal. "Moon golden imperial, Make UP!" She cried with all the air that was in her lungs. She now wore a single layered skirt, pink with a vibrant gold stripe near the bottom. Her gloves remained in a 'V' but were gold, with the 'V' pink, her boots similar. A golden crescent moon rested on her forehead, and the barrettes and Odango guards were gold. She was now Golden Sailor Chibi Moon.
She gripped her scepter lightly. "Kaosu…" She whispered, seeming older than her real age. "I don't want a battle, all I want is peace."
Elios listened to his loved one, and for a moment he thought he saw her as Queen of the Silver Millennium…
"Leave, I will not battle you now." She turned to Elios and smiled sadly. "I miss you, but I have to go."
Elios nodded and knelt, wrapping his arms around her he kissed her, then they separated.
