Part Five: Sailor Chibi Pluto
By
Angel Raye
Setsuna gazed down at her sleeping daughter. She was taking time off from her post to be with Maggie. It had broken Setsuna's heart knowing that she had to let her daughter go through an emotionally damaging ordeal. Unfortunately as the guardian of time she could not do anything to interfere with the timeline, even protecting her family.
Maggie began moaning. Suddenly she sat up and gave a loud blood-curdling scream. Setsuna sat on the bed and gathered Maggie into her arms. Maggie's body racked with sobs as she clung to her mother. This had been happening a lot. Poor Maggie could not sleep without having nightmares. Amy told her that this was normal after what the child had been through. According to her all of the inner Chibi Scouts were suffering from nightmares too.
"It's okay Sweetheart," whispered Setsuna stroking the child's long green hair. "I'm here and you are safe with me."
Maggie just clung to her mother and did not say a word. She found talking every difficult the last several days. However like the others she had to talk with Amy about what had happened. She hated it. She just wanted to forget about what had happened.
Four days earlier...
Maggie returned home from the library with a couple of books in her hands. She had checked one out for herself and another for Daisy hoping it would bring a smile to her face. Maggie was worried about Daisy and all of the other inner Chibi Scouts. None of them were their normal selves right now. Even Gloria and Daisy who were both tough children were clinging to their mothers right now. None of them were up to playing very much. Maggie was missing Daisy. She had been out of school since her ordeal. The other children were going to school but Daisy had been sick as a result of what had happened.
She arrived at Daisy's quarters when Amy came out with Ariel clinging to her skirt. "Hi Maggie," Amy smiled down at the child. "Are you here to see Daisy?"
"Yes," Maggie replied. "How is she?"
"She is still very poorly right now." Amy sighed and reached down to pick Ariel up. "She is getting herself so worked up that she has made herself dreadfully sick."
"I checked a book out for her at the library," Maggie told her. "I was hoping it would help."
"Let's hope so," Amy kissed Ariel on the cheek. "Anyway I have got to take my little one here to see Aunt Raye so I will see you later."
Maggie watched Amy and Ariel go. She wondered if the Inner Chibi Scouts were going to be all right soon. It would be nice if the palace returned to normal.
Lita answered the door. "Hi Maggie. Daisy will be so glad to see you."
"I hope so," Maggie said. "I miss her."
"I know you do Darling," Lita said. "I am sure in a few days she will be back to her normal self."
"She will be," Maggie assured Lita and she went back to Daisy's bedroom.
Lita watched the child go. She sat down on the couch and sighed. The last several days had been exhausting. Lita had to start sleeping with Daisy in her bed at night. The child was so unlike herself. It made Lita angry that someone was damaging innocent children like this. "Just wait until I find out who is behind all of this," she muttered to herself. "I'll make them sorry for what they did."
A knock came at the door. Lita answered it and saw that it was Setsuna. "I came looking for Maggie," she said.
"She is back with Daisy," Lita replied.
"How is Daisy doing," asked Setsuna.
"Not good," Lita replied with a sigh. "I really wish you could have told us something to prevent this from happening."
"I wish I could too," Setsuna spoke in a sad voice. "But that would mean my death. Don't you think it is hard for me to know that Maggie will be going through this too and I cannot do a thing about it? It breaks my heart."
"I'm sorry," muttered Lita. "I know this has got to be hard for you."
"Aunt Lita, Daisy is feeling sick again," Maggie reported as she came out of the bedroom.
"Okay I'll go to her," replied Lita as she got up. "Thank you."
"Mom," squealed Maggie flinging herself into Setsuna's arms.
"Hi Darling," Setsuna hugged her daughter. "I thought I would come and spend some time with you."
"Hurrah," cried Maggie as she and Setsuna headed back to their quarters.
"Mom," said Maggie later on. She was sitting on the couch while her mother ran a brush through her long thick hair. "Can I ask you something?"
"Anything," Setsuna replied.
"Are the Outer Chibi Scouts going to go through what the Inner Chibi Scouts went through," asked Maggie.
Setsuna stopped brushing Maggie's hair. She was afraid her daughter was going ask that. "I cannot tell you Darling," she replied. "I know you are too young to understand now but when you are old enough to join me at the Gates of Time you will. I must not reveal anything about anyone's future."
"Even me," asked Maggie.
"Even you," said Setsuna. "I am really sorry."
Maggie let out a gusty sigh. "It's okay," she muttered. She sat in silence while Setsuna finished brushing her hair.
Sailor Cosmic Pluto stood at her post keeping an eye on the timeline. So far everything was going smoothly. She focused on one year right now. Daisy had just been through her ordeal with Citrine. That meant Sailor Cosmic Pluto's past self was next. Cosmic Pluto shuddered as the memories came flooding back.
Pluto came in. Cosmic Pluto could tell her mother was distressed. "Are you okay Mother," she asked.
"I was just talking to your past self," Pluto replied. "She was a bit upset that I could not tell her anything."
"I was upset," Cosmic Pluto recalled. "But since you were there for me after it happened I was able to understand."
Pluto put a hand on Cosmic Pluto's cheek. "I really wish I could change things."
"I know," whispered Cosmic Pluto as a tear trickled down her cheek.
Pluto suddenly gasped. Cosmic Pluto was fading right before eyes. "Maggie," she choked.
"It's happening Mother," whispered Cosmic Pluto. "It is up to my younger self now."
Pluto watched in despair as Cosmic Pluto faded out of sight. "Maggie," she whispered. "Follow your destiny."
Maggie walked outside the palace garden. She was so glad her mother came to visit her for a little while. Maggie envied the other girls because their mothers were with them all the time. When Setsuna was not around Maggie missed her deeply. She could not wait for the day when she could join Setsuna at the Gates of Time.
Something suddenly fell by her feet. She looked down and saw a strange object on the ground. Maggie reached down and picked it up. She studied it closely. It was a dark green crystal sphere by the looks of it. "I wonder what this is," she said out loud. "I had better take it to Aunt Amy. She might be able to tell me something." As Maggie headed back toward the palace entrance she was suddenly caught up in a cyclone. She screamed. "Where did this come from," she howled. She spun around and was getting very dizzy. Just as mysteriously as it appeared the cyclone disappeared. Maggie fell to the ground with a thud. "What a ride," she muttered rubbing her backside. She stood up and gave a gasp. "Where am I?" She was no longer in the palace garden. It looked like a wasteland. "What happened here," she gasped as she began to run. "Hello," she called. "Is anybody here?" There was no answer. Maggie began to run in the direction of the Crystal Palace or least what she believed was the direction of the Crystal Palace. "I have got to find someone," she thought to herself. She kept running until she came to a familiar looking structure. It was the Crystal Palace but it looked different. It almost looked spooky. Maggie gave a gulp of fright and went inside. "Hello," she gasped timidly. "Is anyone there?" Maggie continued walking down the dark corridors looking for everyone.
Suddenly she tripped over something. She groaned and sat up looking to see what she had tripped over. What she saw stopped her heart. It was a dead body. Maggie hesitantly reached over to it. When she saw whom it was she gave a loud cry. It was Neo-Queen Serenity. Maggie screamed in terror. She jumped and ran through the halls. She ran into more corpses of the people who lived in the palace. It seemed that everyone was dead. Maggie got back to the palace entrance and collapsed sobbing hysterically. "Who did this," she yelled.
"Why I did little one," a voice from behind her said.
Maggie turned around and saw a woman standing there. "Who are you," she stammered.
"My name is Carnelian," the woman replied. "Welcome Sailor Chibi Pluto."
"If you know who I am then I might as well transform," Maggie told her and she pulled out her transformation pen. She held it up. "PLUTO POWER MAKE UP!" She transformed into her Scout uniform and put herself in fighting position. "What have you done and why have you brought me to this future," she demanded.
"When my colleague Jade failed in her attempt to take over the world I thought I would try," Carnelian replied.
"Jade," thought Maggie as she tried hard to remember. Then it hit her, "Annika."
"I brought you here because you are the Chibi Scout of time," Carnelian continued. "With your time protection bubble you would have been able to protect the Sailor Scouts from what I was going to do. I have been able to alter the timeline and now I can take care of you."
"How terrible of you," choked Chibi Pluto as tears streamed down her face. She powered up. "SCREAMS OF DESTRUCTION!" Her attack flew out but Carnelian only laughed and jumped out of the way.
"You cannot hit me," she sneered at Chibi Pluto. "I can move faster than anyone else." Carnelian held up her hand and a ball of fire appeared. She threw it at Chibi Pluto who screamed in agony as she felt the burning pain. Her uniform caught fire but she dropped and rolled smothering the fire out. She felt a huge sting from the burns. "There is no way you can beat me now," snarled Carnelian.
Chibi Pluto pulled herself to her feet. She powered up again. "SCREAMS OF DESTRUCTION!" At the same time Carnelian tossed another fireball and the two attacks collided. The brunt of the attacks sent Chibi Pluto flying. She got back up and ran. "What can I do," she asked herself. "I cannot beat her."
"Yes you can," a soft gentle voice spoke to her.
Chibi Pluto turned around and saw a woman with silver hair done up like Neo-Queen Serenity standing before her. Chibi Pluto recognized her. "Queen Serenity from the Moon Kingdom," she gasped.
"Yes," Queen Serenity replied. "I am here to help you."
"What can I do," choked Chibi Pluto. "I cannot beat her by myself and she has altered the timeline so I cannot get help."
"You can do it yourself," Queen Serenity told her. "You can go to the Gates of Time and go back to where you were taken. There you will be able to defeat Carnelian."
"Why did I not think about that," Chibi Pluto asked herself out loud.
"In a fragile state one cannot think of the obvious," Queen Serenity gently explained.
"My attacks have had no effect on her," Chibi Pluto sobbed.
"Once we get to the Gates of Time I will loan you my power," said Queen Serenity. "It will be enough to defeat Carnelian but I should caution you. The power will only be good for one attack. Use it carefully."
"I understand," sobbed Chibi Pluto.
"I must also warn you that you will see something very disturbing at the Gates of Time," Queen Serenity cautioned. "Be prepared."
"I will," murmured Chibi Pluto as she and Queen Serenity headed toward the Gates of Time.
Chibi Pluto felt a huge uneasiness when she got to the Gates of Time. She wondered what Queen Serenity meant when she said she would see something disturbing. Hadn't all she had already seen been disturbing enough? What could be worse?
She got her answer almost immediately. There at the Gates were the remains of her mother. "MOM," she screamed as she ran over. "MOM!" She began to cry hysterically.
"Calm down child," Queen Serenity's soothing voice whispered to her. "Only you can go and fix this."
Chibi Pluto could not contain herself. She screamed in anguish. Queen Serenity placed a comforting hand on Chibi Pluto's shoulder. "You must be strong," she said. "Otherwise you will not restore the timeline."
Chibi Pluto swallowed back her tears and nodded. She pulled herself to her feet. Queen Serenity placed her hand on her head. "I am loaning you my power," she explained. "Remember to use it wisely."
Chibi Pluto closed her eyes and felt the power entering her. "I will defeat Carnelian everyone," she thought. "I promise."
"Good luck little one," called Queen Serenity as Chibi Pluto departed for her destination.
Chibi Pluto landed on the ground with a thud. She rubbed her sooty, tearstained face and went looking for Carnelian. She found her in the garden getting ready to use her attack. "Hold it right there," shouted Chibi Pluto.
Carnelian turned around. "What are you doing here," she demanded. "I sent you ahead of what I was going to do."
"Do not underestimate the future Guardian of Time," choked Chibi Pluto. "I can mess with time too and I am doing it legally. You will not succeed."
"That's what you think," snarled Carnelian. She powered up and threw a ball of fire at Chibi Pluto. Chibi Pluto was prepared and threw herself out of the way. She groaned in pain as she hit the ground hard. She pulled herself back to her feet and powered up. "SCREAMS OF DESTRUCTION!" Carnelian screamed as the temporarily powered up attack hit her. She was vaporized immediately.
Chibi Pluto fell to her knees. It was over but all she could do was cry hysterically.
"Mama look," exclaimed Annika as she and Raye were left the palace to take a quiet walk around the garden.
"What is it Sweetheart," asked Raye but then she saw what Annika was pointing at. Chibi Pluto, covered with burns, was crumpled up on the ground sobbing hysterically. She ran over to the child. "Maggie what is it?"
"Mommy," screamed Chibi Pluto. "I want Mommy!"
"Maggie," called Gary as he ran over with Rini. He tried gathering Chibi Pluto in his arms. "What happened Princess?"
Chibi Pluto only screamed louder and struggled to break free from her father's embrace. "MOMMY!"
Rini turned and ran into the palace and toward the Gates of Time.
"Luna P," shouted Rini as she ran to the Time Portal.
"Small Lady," exclaimed Pluto.
"It's Maggie," gasped Rini. "She has been through some kind of battle and is now screaming for you. She is not letting Gary hold her."
Pluto realized that Maggie had just been through her ordeal. She nodded her head and followed Rini. When she got out to the palace garden she saw her daughter screaming for her hysterically. Amy was trying to calm her down but was not succeeding. Pluto ran over and took Chibi Pluto into her arms. "It's okay Darling," she said. "I'm here."
Chibi Pluto clung to her mother and sobbed hysterically. Her mother was alive and Chibi Pluto did not ever want to let go of her.
Maggie was badly traumatized from her ordeal. Amy treated her burns and other injuries and declared her physically okay. Unfortunately another Chibi Scout was left emotionally crippled. Maggie was unable to talk at first but Raye used some of her psychic abilities to get her to tell what had happened. Setsuna decided to take a few weeks off from her post to help Maggie through this. Seeing her mother dead in the alternate timeline had scared Maggie beyond belief. She was not sure if she could ever get over it. Maggie clung to her mother for dear life most of the time. She did not want Setsuna out of her sight. Raye showed Setsuna how to do the massages and Amy worked Maggie into her already busy schedule to talk things out. Meanwhile Hotaru, Haruka, and Michiru were getting anxious. They protectively guarded over their daughters but fearing that they would not be able to prevent the inevitable. Who was next?
In his lair Lord Sardonyx gazed into his sphere at an image of Madelyn. "You the Chibi Scout of death and destruction will be next," he said. "Enjoy your peace not because you will not have it when I am done with you."
