Episode 6: Prayers and Abductions
Chapter #16: Enter The NegaMoon
At that moment, a faint knock came at the door. "Someone is here. We'll keep in touch!" Rini thought.
"Okay. Bye." Hotaru said. "Who is it?" Serena called.
"It's your mother, Queen Serenity." called a high squeaky voice that sounded nothing like her mother.
"Are you okay mother? You don't sound like yourself." Serena said in a suspicious tone.
"I've had a cold." The queen said.
"All right, I'm coming." Serena walked to the door. She turned the crystal handle and opened the door. She gasped. It wasn't her mother! There was a shadowy figure encased in the doorway. The figure was Rubeus!!!
"You're not my mother!" Serena screamed. All the princesses gasped.
"I am Rubeus of the NegaMoon, minion to King Beryl. Come quietly and no one will will get hurt." He threatned. "Never!" The princesses yelled.
"Resistance is futile! We will get you sooner or later!" Rubeus said as he lifted his hand. A black ball of light formed in his hand. It split in many different angles. Then it shot out at the princesses. Rini grabbed Rina and dove under Serena's bed. The light hit the eight remaining princesses. They froze. Rubeus laughed evilly and gave a loud whistle. Several big, strong-looking men came into the room and carried the immobile princesses out of the room. Rubeus stood in the doorway making sure that they hadn't missed anyone. Good thing for Rini and Rina that Serena's bed had very long curtains that reached the floor, just enough to cover the bottom of the bed.
"Our work is done here." Rubeus said. He snickered and then walked out of the doorway.
Chapter #17: The Aftershock
Rini was so overwhelmed of what just happened that she didn't move from the spot where she dove with Rina. She stayed there for a few minutes and slightly lifted the curtain. She peered through the opening. The room was dark and empty. She turned back to Rina who had no idea what was going on.
"Are you okay Rina?" Rini asked.
"Chibi." Rina said sounding like it was a yes.
"Come on then." Rini shuffled along the floor and was half way out from under the bed when she looked at the door. It was opening! She crawled back under the bed. The door opened slightly and a small four legged, black shadow came walking in. Rini lifted the small part of the bed cutains and peered into the dark room. The black shadow stopped and turned toward her. Then the shadow turned tail and trotted to Serena's marble dresser. Then a light emmited from what looked like it's hand. The light moved and lit a candle close by. The room was still too dark to see the figure. Then the shadow took the candle in its mouth and trotted back over to the bed. The shadow came face to face with Rini's eye. The candle's light glowed onto the shadow. The shadow wasn't a shadow at all. It was Luna! "Luna! Oh, Luna! It was terrible! The people from the NegaMoon came and took all the princesses! Serena too!" She started sobbing.
"It's all right. We'll get them back. You seem to forget that your aunt is the Queen of the Universe. She can fix it." Luna said trying to comfort the sobbing princess.
"They got everyone except Rina and me!" Rini cried.
"Chibi?" Rina's voice was muffled from the bedcurtains.
"Well, let's get you out of there and we'll figure out what to do." Luna said as she moved the candle out of the way and helped Rini crawled out from under the bed. Then, Rina crawled out from under the bed.
Chapter #18: Serena and the Slave Ship
Still unable to move, Serena and her friends were savagely carried to the slave ship. The men set the princesses down. The princesses were well aware where they were but were unable to show it. Their faces still formed the same terrified expressions that were placed on them at the time Rubeus showed up. Chain manacles that connected each princess were placed on their wrists and feet. They were led up the ramp that led up to the enormous black ship by Rubeus. The ship had a flag that was a very dark navy blue with a black NegaMoon upiside-down crescent moon in the center. The princesses were led through dark halls and up stairwells. Then Rubeus stopped at a big, black, wooden door that read 'Captain'. Rubeus knocked on the door. A rough, raspy voice called out,
"What is it?!"
"I, Rubeus, have brought new captives. But not just any captives. Pincesses, oh, mighty King Beryl." Rubeus boasted.
"You have a bad habit of interrupting my take over the universe meetings, don't you Rubeus?" The raspy voice said.
"Come in anyway. These prisoners are an important element in my conspiricy." Rubeus opened the door and led the princesses in.
