Episode 7
Chibi-usa returns! The end of the beginning.
::The Senshi assemble in front of the strange cat inside the
Greco-Roman Arms room of the museum.::
Moon, bowing "I can't thank you enough for what you have done,
but I must know your name."
Ven. "Yes, are you a friend of Artemis and Luna? That crecent
moon on your forehead is identical to theirs."
Bas. "I am Bastet, and I have come from the Hope Temple
located on Mare Tranquillitatis on the moon. I was sent to
help you by my mistress, the Temple's priestess, and your
aunt, Queen."
Moon "Aunt?"
Bas. "Although it had never happened before in your family,
your grandmother gave birth to two daughters. The eldest,
your mother, was crowned Queen of the Moon Kingdom, and your
aunt became a priestess. Her prayers, along with your
daughter's, allowed me to travel here and assist you."
Moon "My... CHIBI-USA! She's alive!!"
Mam. "You mean Chibi-usa is on the moon!?"
Bas. "Yes, my mistress has been watching over her, just as the
Queen prayed. Her prayers for the safety of the Princess were
heard and she was transported to the temple."
::Closing his eyes, Bastet concentrates, and a flickering
image of Chibi-usa is displayed on the wall. Her small voice
calls out to her future parents."
Chib. "Usagi-chan, Mamo-chan, everyone! I hope this message
gets to you and you're all okay!! I keep praying just like
Tranquillity tells me, I hope it helps! You don't need to
worry, I'm all right up here, just take care!" image fades
"I miss you all! Bye-bye!"
Moon "Chibi-usa-chan, I was so worried!" turns to Bas. "Thank
you so much for bringing us this message, you don't know how
much this means!"
::Moon begins to cry again, relieved that Chibi-usa is alive
and well. Mamoru puts his arm around her, smiling, as the
Senshi give their own thanks to Bastet for the wonderful
news.::
Moon, laughing "Oh, that brat's gonna get it, scaring me
like that!"
Bas., smiling "It's ironic how you two look after one another.
Your prayers sent her away from harm, yet her prayers gave
birth to this new power. I was only the messenger that
brought them to you!"
Moon "So, can you tell us how to bring Chibi-usa-chan back?"
Bas. "It was your prayer that sent her, so it is you alone
who can call her back to Earth. You must pray for her safe
return now that the battle is over and the danger has passed."
Moon "All right, then, I'll pray for her now!"
*~*~*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~ "Princess, your mother is calling for you. It is time ~~~
~~~for you to return to Earth." "Usagi-chan! I can go ~~~
~~~home!? HORRAY!" "Travel safely, my dearest Princess!"~~~
~~~ "Oh, Tranquillity, I'll miss you! I hope I can come ~~~
~~~back and visit when there's no enemies!" "I do, too. ~~~
~~~Behave yourself!" "*giggle* You know I will, bye-bye!"~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*~*~*
::As the silvery shimmer fades, Moon rushes, with tears of
joy, to embrace Chibi-usa. Although she tries to sniff them
away, Chibi-usa finds her eyes filling with tears. Mamoru
hugs the two girls. The Senshi watch the reunion silently,
brushing their own eyes; the happy family is once again
united.::
Chib. "Usagi-chan! Mamo-chan! I missed you so much!! I
wanted to be here to help in the battle!"
Moon "I'm just glad you're safe! You'll have to tell us all
about your trip!"
Ven. "Can you tell us more about who this Tranquillity is?"
Mer."And I want to ask Bastet if he has any information about
our enemy."
Jup. "Guys, I think she'll have to explain that stuff on the
way home, it's gotten late, and I don't think we're allowed in
here after closing."
Moon "Oh, yeah! I guess we'd better leave before someone
calls the police!"
Mars, laughing "Yeah, Odango, that wouldn't be very good,
would it?"
*~*~*
::In the black temple, the four girls, shrouded in shadow,
are gathered around a long, deep pool in the center of the room.
Lying beside the pool, they trail their fingers casually in the
dark water. The voice of Lord Styxx issues forth.::
Sty. "Well, it seems the Furies have failed me for the last
time. I am glad to be rid of their incompetence. But I can
be assured victory now that my beloved daughters are ready
to serve me... the Senshi of Love will not silence my family;
I have borne witness to too many centuries of peace. I can
no longer sleep while the Earth heads toward such a fearless
era. The people of this planet must remember the power of
hatred and fear. We will make sure they never forget..."
Girls "*giggle* Of course, Mother. They'll NEVER forget!"
*~*~*
::The next day, the Inner Senshi meet at Hikawa Shrine to
question Chibi-usa and Bastet about their new alies and
enemies. Unexpectedly, the Outer Senshi arrive.::
Chib. "PUU! I'm back!"
Plu., smiling "It's wonderful to see you safe, Small Lady!"
Usa. "I'm glad you guys could come, we've got a lot to
catch up on and figure out before we can continue this
battle."
Ami "Yes, although it seems we have defeated the Furies,
another enemy lies behind them."
Har. "We... already know."
Rei "You know? How could you have known that, we only found
out last night."
Mic. "We've all had visions, of sorts. Setsuna's pain from
the day Chibi-usa disappeared was the first. Then, I saw
strange forms at the bottom of the pool while swimming one
day."
Har. "I've been hearing whispers in the wind lately; at
first I thought they were nonsense. Then, Hotaru had a
disturbing nightmare..."
::Hotaru suddenly steps forward. Her once childish face
now bears an expression of grave determination.::
Hot. "Whatever is ahead for us, it will be difficult. We
must remember to work together, or all is lost. I feel
this enemy is concentrating on divinding us amongst
ourselves, and we cannot afford to fall victim to their
trickery." turns to Usa. "You have gained much power from
the last battle... I only hope we all can improve our own
powers as well."
Usa. "Hota-chan..."
::Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna tense, praying that the
episode will pass. Sure enough, Hotaru's innocent grin
returns.::
Hot. "Why is everybody lookin' at me like that?"
Mic., sighs with relief "Everything is fine, Hota-chan."
Har. "For now..."
Set. "What I need to know is what the disturbance I felt
came from. Chibi-usa-chan, could that have been caused by
your disappearence?"
::Before Chibi-usa can answer, Bastet's eyes and crecent
begin to glow golden. Again, a beam of light is projected
from his crecent, and a robed figure stands before the
Senshi. Her priestess robes are of the palest purple and
lavender, and her hair is pure white, done in the same
Odango style as Queen Serenity and Sailor Moon.::
Usa. "Oh! Who is this..."
Chib. "Tranquillity!"
Tra. "Greetings, Senshi of the Silver Millennium! I am
High Priestess Tranquillity, keeper of the Hope Temple
on Mare Tranquillitatis. It was my duty, as decreed by
my sister after her corronation, that I watch over the
Royal children of the Moon Kingdom forevermore, and
protect them with my power. Long have I been asleep,
through the great battle between the Moon and the Earth,
and now that you all have been reborn, my sister's
spirit bid me awaken and heed the prayers of her own
daughter and future Neo-Queen of Crystal Tokyo. That
is the ripple in time felt by you, Honorable Sailor Pluto.
My awakening was unexpected even to me, but I cannot
refuse the responsibility given to me. Please, accept
my humble appologies."
Set. "I... yes, of course! You needn't apologize to me!"
Tra., smiles "Your duty is as important as mine, Pluto.
We two are equals."
Usa. "Thank you so much for watching over Chibi-usa-chan!
Under the influence of that perfume, I thought perhaps I
had wished her away forever!"
Tra. "As I said, Neo-Queen, it is my duty and pleasure!
But I am also here to warn you. The enemy you are facing
it very powerful. It's power is different from the other
foes you have faced. Please, take care of yourselves,
Senshi!" image begins to fade "Bastet, now that you have
also awoken, take your place with your brother as a
Guardian Cat of an Inner Senshi! Farewell, everyone!"
::Her image fades away, and the girls look at one another.::
Usa. "Bastet, does this mean Artemis is your brother?"
::Artemis blushes and Bastet sweat-drops.::
Art. "Yes, it's true..."
Bas. "This uncouth flea-bag is... my relation..."
::The two peek at each other out of the corner of their
eyes. Then, the two burst into laughter.::
Min. "Well, I see you two have some catching up to do!"
Rei "Yes, but Tranquillity said that Bastet is to become
'A Guardian Cat of an Inner Senshi.' "
Usa. "I already have Luna..."
Min. "And I have Artemis..."
Rei "I have Phobos and Deimos as Guardians..."
::The three eye Makoto and Ami.::
Ami, to Mak. "Well?"
Mak. "So?"
::There is a long silence.::
Mak. "Well, I CAN'T take him... My house is full of
plants!!"
Ami "My mother would NEVER let me keep a cat! Besides,
we have so many aquariums at home!"
Bas., sweat-drops "Now, now, ladies... Don't go fighting
over me or anything... heh, heh..."
::Everyone bursts out laughing, finally able to truly
be at ease after such a difficult battle.::
