Chapter 4- Artful Attack
"What happened?" Lita asked the girls after they were examined by Amy.
"We were working on digging up flowers with a girl named Nari, who later turned out to be Narina, when a youma attacked me. Before that, Annika went to get her gloves that were left at the water fountain. When Nari turned into Narina, Gloria ran to get Annika and the enemy looked at my emotion orb and there on I draw a blank." Daisy explained. The other scouts absorbed what they where hearing.
"What happened after that Annika?" Raye asked.
"After we transformed, we introduced ourselves and Narina disappeared. The monster attacked me and caught me off guard and the youma's attack flew me against a tree and I don't remember anything after that," Annika explained.
"Gloria, do you know what happened after that?" Mina asked.
"All I remember after that is I got really angry, but I don't know what happened after that," she said, still trying to remember what happened.
"Alright girls," Amy said, "you need to rest now, we'll try to figure something out while you go to sleep." The girls nodded and went to their quarters to sleep. The scouts were distressed. The enemy is targeting young girls, and Madelyn and Daisy had been two of them. It was only a matter of time until the enemy attacked again, and they didn't know who was next. Sailor Pluto was still unable to see the future. They continued the meeting.
Gloria went up to her room. She was upset that she couldn't remember what happended after her anger. Gloria layed down on her bed and fell asleep.
She and the other girls woke up the next morning, it had been 8 o'clock when they went to bed. She met with the other girls and headed for school.
"Today is the art festival," Annika said cheerfully. Gloria groaned, she hated the art festival.
"Big deal, we get to paint pictures all day instead of playing with the other toys," Gloria remarked snidely. This was not her week. They walked the rest of the way to school, Annika and Hope chatting about how much fun the day was going to be, while Gloria was thinking about yesterday's events. She couldn't shake the feeling that something big happened and she couldn't remember what it was. The worst part was, she knew it had something to do with her.
During school, the girls did many crafts, much to the disliking of Gloria. The teacher made her participate, she did, but not without getting herself in trouble first. Gloria looked over at Annika's drawing. Gloria's eyes softened when she saw what the drawing was of. It was of Annika and Gloria playing together. 'She is such a good friend but I don't treat her the way I should,' Gloria thought guiltily. She then looked at Ariel and Hope's pictures. Ariel's was of her family and Moon Beam, and Hope's was of Faith's playing in her baseball game. Gloria looked at her blank paper. Suddenly, something came over Gloria as her hand just started moving. When Gloria looked at her paper, she saw a silver orb and a beautiful locket. The locket was shaped like a heart with small intrecate designs in it. Gloria looked in awe. How could she ever draw anything so beautiful. The locket was small and it fit around the orb. Annika glanced over at Gloria's picture and couldn't believe what she saw.
"Gloria, that is really beautiful," Annika said, "I didn't know you could draw that well." Gloria was still shocked at what happened to herself.
"I can't, I don't know what happened, something came over me and my hand just started moving," Gloria answered.
"That's strange, that picture looks like an emotion orb." Annika observed. Gloria looked at it and agreed. They went back to what they were doing, and Gloria sat and stared at her picture some more. First being unable to remember what happened the day before, and now this. 'What's happening to me?' Gloria asked herself. When the teacher picked up the pictures, she gawked at Gloria's. The teacher fussed over it for a while, and then the bell rang. The girls left and they complimented her on her picture.
On their way home, after they met up with Rini, Gloria explained what happened with the picture.
"That's really weird Gloria," Rini said, everyone else nodded.
'I want to know what's happening to me,' Gloria thought.
When the girls got home, they went to their seperate quarters to do their homework and get ready for the art festival.
The girls and their families walked into the classroom to look at their daughter's works of art. Mina about fainted when she saw Gloria's picture.
"Wow Gloria, that is really beautiful," she complimented. Gloria looked at the floor. Mina noticed this. "Gloria, what's wrong?" she asked concerned.
"I didn't draw it," she stated, "something came over me and it made my hand move, and the next thing I knew, that is what was on my paper."
"That's pecular," Mina said, "we'll have to talk about it when we get home."
Narina was looking around at all of the artwork. She saw Annika with her parents. 'There's the target,' she thought happily, 'this will be a piece of cake.' Narina took a spraycan and hit the trigger, releasing sleeping gas.
Gloria and her mother where talking, Asai couldn't make it, when Gloria noticed someone pecular. 'Oh no, that's Narina.' she thought. She noticed her taking a can of something out of her pocket. Gloria grabbed her mother's arm, and pulled her out the door. Gloria looked in the window, to see everyone fall to the ground and Annika with her arms and legs tied to a giant root.
"What did you do that for Gloria?" Mina asked. Gloria signaled for her to look in the glass window on the side of the door. When she looked in the window she gasped as she saw a woman with lavender hair, and a youma appear. She watched as Annika's chest glowed a bright white as her emotion orb was seen, and the young girl screamed in pain. "Gloria, transform," Mina commanded. Gloria nodded.
"VENUS ETERNAL POWER MAKE-UP"
"VENUS POWER MAKE-UP"
The two warriors went into the room to see their unconscious friends.
Mina made the openning speach. "How dare you interupt an event where parents feel pride for their children, in the name of parenthood, Venus and the Moon," "We shall punish you," the mother-daughter pair said in unison.
"How touching, the two Venus scouts have come to stop us," Narina said to her youma Anger. "Take care of them for me, I'm gone." Narina said as she disappeared and Annika fell limply to the floor.
"Annika!" Chibi Venus screamed as she ran to her friends side.
Sailor Venus was upset seeing her daughter holding her best friend, Venus powered up. "VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!" The youma barely dodged the attack and powered up to attack, but didn't aim the attack in the direction of Venus. The attack was aimed at Chibi Venus and an unconscious Annika. The attack fired and Venus screamed. "Gloria, look out," Chibi Venus turned her head preparing to be hit with the attack. When she heard a yelp of pain, she turned her head back to see her mother unconscious on the floor in front of her
"MOM!!" Chibi Venus said. Chibi Venus stood up with a look that could kill as her mother automatically detransformed after being knocked out. Chibi Venus screamed and glowed silver as she powered up for her attack, "VENUS BEAUTIFUL SHOCKWAVE!!!" The youma, looking as though it were a deer about to be hit by a semi, was hit dead on and discentigrated immediatly. Gloria fell to her knees as the light faded, "Mom, Annika," she said before she passed out.
"Gloria, are you alright," Mina said as Gloria regained consciousness, she noticed they were in their living quarters. Gloria nodded and asked, "Are you and Annika alright." Mina smiled. "Yes, we're fine dear, now get some rest." Mina said as she kissed her daughter's forehead and turned the lamp off. Gloria fell into a dreamless sleep.
*****************************************
"You fail me again," Ezri said in rage. Narina cowered at the sheer volume of her mistress.
"I'm sorry, but those blasted Chibi scouts and Sailor scouts keep getting in my way." she said.
Ezri walked behind her throne, anger in every stride. "I'll give you one more chance Narina, and if you fail, you know what will happen." Ezri said as she looked at the image in the portal. It was of Faith playing baseball.
