First Battle

First Battle

A tremendous gust of wind broke through the trees, and a loud crash of a wave sounded. This was the Chibi Scouts' first battle. A water sprite rushed out onto the soaking land, heaving a great laugh. Standing at ready, the Chibi Scouts showed little expression of fear as they were taught by their guardians. The water sprite peered down at them, laughing at their young age, and having no concern of the upcoming battle. Fire jumped ahead, lowering her head to the ground, she than let out a great blast of Fire as Chibi Mars watched in wonder. She had been paralyzed in fear, not thinking she'd ever be so scared by just looking at the appearance of the battle. But she knew she had to fight, no matter how scared. She was taught not to let the enemies scare her. And she wasn't going to let that happen. The universe now depended on them and she nor them could let the universe down. The water sprite bounced back, coming at them in fatal anger. Chibi Mars jumped next to Fire. Letting her attack, the same blast of fire, out at the water sprite. She fell back, a bit stunned. Fire wasn't her element, so it left her a bit weak. But not weak enough. Chibi Mercury and Storm jumped foward as they let a rush of Ice crash towards the water sprite. She screamed as she froze in place. Storm and Chibi Mercury watched happily as she had froze. Than Fire and Chibi Mars let their attacks out once more as the water sprite cried out in defeat and she vanished. For a few minutes, the Chibi Scouts stood, their winning had not yet gotten to their heads yet. But Chibi Mercury was the one who realized it first, she threw up her hands giggling and running around happily. She hadn't thought that their first battle would end so quickly. But it had. Silent looked towards Chibi Saturn, whom was just standing. Staring hard at the spot the water sprite once been. She didn't quite understand what had happened, being much younger than the other Chibi Scouts to even understand. Silent jumped onto Chibi Saturn's shoulder, being careful not to disturb her of whatever she was thinking, but she than spoke softly, "Chibi Saturn..We won..We won the battle.." Chibi Saturn shook her head to clear her thoughts as she looked at Silent. "I..know. But we have fight like this a lot times." Silent nodded and looked away, "Yes..And unfortunetly, the other battles will be much harder than this..However, if you work with the other Chibi Scouts, it shouldn't be as difficult as it would be if you were to fight alone. But don't worry, Chibi Saturn. We'll win. We'll win every battle and protect this world just as much as the Sailor Scouts did. The world or universe shall not be in jeopardy anymore." Nodding, Chibi Saturn understood. She wouldn't let the universe come to jeopardy, she will fight along side the others and protect the universe. Her concentration was once thrown off by Chibi Pluto trying to get the giggling, happy Chibis to control themselves. "Chibis! We not act like this after battles we won!" "But Puuto! We happy we won!" Chibi Venus giggled as she bopped Chibi Mars on the head and ran away. Chibi Mars giggled and chased after Chibi Venus as she ran to hide behind the trees. As Chibi Venus ran towards the trees Chibi Uranus jumped from one landing infront of Chibi Venus as she shrieked and changed her direction to the ocean. Seeing who was heading for the ocean, Chibi Neptune had begun to run after Chibi Mars, Uranus, and Venus. "Don't fall in! Might drown! Come Jupe!" She said as she ran by Chibi Jupiter. She looked towards Chibi Mercury who nodded as they also ran to catch up with everyone else. Chibi Pluto appeared infront of them, staring at them. It was enough for the Chibi Scouts to understand that they had to behave. "Sowwy Puuto.." Chibi Venus said as she pouted. Chibi Saturn sat down on the sand, hugging her knees to her chest. "I too little," She whispered to herself. "I not fight. Too little. Get hurt." She stared ahead at the ocean and past, "Maybe," She whispered. "Maybe I return to planet. No have fight. I be happy." Silent walked to her, "Chibi Saturn..I'm sorry..but...it's also your duty to protect the universe. I thought you understo-" "I too little!" Chibi Saturn yelled and tears spilled down her cheeks. "I get hurt! Take home! Pwease!" Silent hung her head sadly, "I can't.." Sniffling, Chibi Saturn stood up abruptly and turned, running in the other direction. "Saturn! Wait," Silent said as she ran after her. "Where are you going!?" Chibi Saturn stopped, turning around as she looked at Silent through tears. "I find way home.." "You can't.." Silent responded. "Why?" Chibi Saturn asked. "The only way to return back to your planet is to finish your duty of protecting the universe.." She responded. "I go home, pwease? Don't want die, want be happy.." Chibi Saturn pleaded. A faded image appeared, adding more fear to Chibi Saturn as she watched. "Chibi Saturn.." The voice began. "Qu-queen?" Chibi Saturn asked as the image cleared and the image of Queen Serenity took the place of the tiny particles . Seeing this, a thought struck Silent as she asked, "Queen Serenity? You're..dead?" Queen Serenity closed her eyes as she frowned, "Yes..There was no more purpose of me being here. I was needed no longer," She opened her eyes, smiling slightly. "But mourn not, for the new Queen shall live on. Please don't mourn my absentness. But I have come, to congratulate you on your first battle won. You worked well together," A crystal the color of a pearl appeared just as the other Chibi Scouts ran up. "All of you, please take this crystal in rememberance of me and your planets. When the time comes, use it. But please use it carefully. For even I, don't know the true power of this crystal. Good luck, everyone.." She said as she disappeared slowly. "Wait! Queen! No leave! Take home!" But Chibi Saturn's pleads were useless, Queen Serenity already had disappeared almost as fast as she came. Tears wetted her cheeks once more as she looked at the crystal. Storm approached, looking at the crystal as well. "There seems to be no true origin of it..I too, wonder the powers of it.." "But we hear Queen. No using yet." Chibi Mercury scolded to everyone. "Why can't try? No harm." Chibi Uranus pouted. "You hear Uranus. Not yet." Chibi Neptune said. "Fine.." Chibi Uranus agreed sadly. The Chibi Scouts stood still, staring at the crystal, trying to un-lock the mystery of it's powers when Love spoke up, "No ideas will come without rest. We're too tired to think, it has been a tough day. Come everyone, we all need our rest." They nodded, as they de transformed and headed home. Chibi Saturn sat curled up on her bed, looking at the wall. "Maybe if wish hard will go home." She thought. But no matter how hard she wished, her planet remained afar. She than averted her gaze towards the ceiling, thinking of how happy the Scouts must be. Living peacefully on the New Kingdom. "But I 2, lot battles. Long to go home." She thought sadly. They had been told of how long the Scouts had fought their battles. So she had the unfortunety of knowing that she probably wouldn't be returning home for a while. But the hardest Negaverse enemies had been fought, and maybe the one that they had fought today was their last. Possibly another enemy might not come. And than they could return home. And for the first time, Chibi Saturn smiled and giggled as she jumped out of bed, "Might not wait long!" She shouted out gleefully. She ran to Silent, giggling as she picked her up and twirled her around. "You've remembered, haven't you Saturn?" Silent asked. Saturn nodded frantically, "Yup! Now happy!"
