Emotion Guardian
By: Starlight Angel
Chapter 2- A Puzzling Attack
"A new enemy?" The Sailor Scouts (minus Pluto) asked.
"Yes, a new enemy appeared today on our way home from school," Rini answered. "The monster was looking for something called an emotion orb."
"What's an emotion orb?" Mina asked.
"The enemy told us that the emotion orb is where we humans get our emotions," Ariel answered matter-of-factly.
"It looks like we have another large fight ahead," Gloria groaned.
"We need to be cautious," Pluto said as she entered the room.
"Mom!" Maggie squealed in delight. She ran up to her mother and gave her a hug. Setsuna smiled at her daughter, but went back to what she was saying. "This enemy was never here in the Cosmic Scout's timeline." There where gasps among the group. "For some reason, this enemy showed up in our timeline and not in the others. The time stream is being altered and I cannot see what will happen as a result of this, something is obstructing me from observing the future. This is what has alarmed me the most." Setsuna finished. Everyone was quiet. Hope decided to break the silence.
"What do you think could change time this drastically to where you, the guardian of time, cannot be shown the future?" She asked concerned.
"I don't know, but I am guessing it may have something to do with you girls going to the past so many times, and also Chelsea's visit here as well. Somewhere along the line, there was a minor change that affected the timeline more than we expected." Setsuna explained. "Now, this new enemy could possibly change the future tremendously." They all nodded solomnly. They continued the meeting, and let the chibi scouts leave.
Madelyn went to her room and grabbed her new jigsaw puzzle. Ariel was working on a book report and the other scouts were off doing something else. She was done with her homework and decided it was too good of a day to waste, even with this new enemy about. Madelyn went out to the palace gardens, where they had a small stone table with stone benches on all four sides. She opened her puzzle and started sorting the outside and inside pieces.
Narina was watching the little girl that was her next target. She smiled to herself, this was too easy. "Loneliness, hide somewhere and attack her when she least expects it," she said as the youma turned into a mist and started to float towards Madelyn.
She was enjoying her time outside alone. She was half way done with her new jigsaw puzzle. She was looking for a certain piece when her arm bumped a few pieces off the side of the table. She bent down to pick them up, unbenownced to her that the youma took this opertunity to hide in the puzzle. When she went sat up she felt un evil presence. She put in a few more pieces of her puzzle in place, when the puzzle glowed black. Madelyn stood up and backed away. A youma appeared in front of her and she screamed.
Ariel was on her way out to find Madelyn, when she heard a scream. 'That sounds like Madelyn,' Ariel thought as she ran in the direction the scream came from. When she got to the garden, she saw Madelyn backing against a tree, trying to find a way to escape from monster. Ariel flipped open her communicator and said, "Scouts, Madelyn's in trouble, get to the palace gardens quick!" Ariel closed her communicator and transformed.
"MERCURY POWER MAKE-UP"
Where Ariel once stood, was Chibi Mercury.
Madelyn heard Ariel transform as a giant root formed swiftly behind her, as small roots emitting from the root wrapped around her ankles and wrists. She couldn't move. The woman from before appeared and chanted, "Love, hate, worry and friendship, emotions appear." Madelyn felt an overwelming pain in her chest and she could hardly breath. She felt as though her outer shell was being torn away leaving nothing but her soul there to be seen. Through her teary eyes, she could see he chest glowing a bright white and a small blue ball could be seen through the light.
"Stop right there," came a familiar voice. Madelyn turned to see her best friend, Chibi Mercury. She smiled before she blanked out.
"How dare you probe the emotions of a nice girl, for that, in the name of Mercury and the Moon, I will punish you," Ariel said before she noticed that Madelyn was unconscious. Ariel was angry. 'How dare they do this to my best friend.
Narina looked at Madelyn to see a blue orb. "Not another mistake," she said, frustrated. "Loneliness, take care of this Chibi brat." Narina said as she once again disappeared and Madelyn fell limply to the ground. The monster gave Chibi Mercury an evil smirk as it lunged at her. Chibi Mercury powered up. "MERCURY ICICLE SPEARS" The monster, not expecting the attack, was hit in the arm.
"You'll pay for that brat," the youma spat as it sent a blast of energy her way. Chibi Mercury was about to be hit, when she felt herself being carried. Chibi Mercury opened her eyes to see Mercury Knight.
"Thank you daddy," Ariel said as he put her down. Ariel turned from her father to see all of the scouts, chibi scouts (with the exception of Chibi Saturn and Saturn, who was tending to her unconscious daughter) and knights around the youma. From the looks of it, Chibi Jupiter had attacked the youma, and Chibi Venus was distracting it while Cosmic Moon powered up. "MOON PRINCESS HEALING KISS!" The youma, who was getting annoyed with Chibi Venus, didn't expect its impending doom. The attack hit the youma head on, and it was destroyed. They all powered down as Hotaru and Amy ran to the palace hospital to tend to Madelyn.

"You failed me again Narina," Ezri said in an annoyed tone.
"I know majesty, forgive me," Narina said bowing before the princess of the star Orion.
"I'll give you a few more chances," Ezri said calmly as she walked behind her throne to the portal. In the portal, was an image of Daisy tending to a small flower garden.

Madelyn awoke from consciousness in a few hours with a pounding headache and minor chest pains. She was alright, but she never wanted to go through anything that painful again.
