The Cardians
Part Two
By
Angel Raye
The Queen sat in her throne with all the Senshi and Chibi Senshi before her. They had just finished discussing the new threat to Crystal Tokyo.
"The Inner Senshi and myself know about these Cardians," Serenity reported. "Their sole purpose is to collect energy from life forms, mainly people. If you children studied your Senshi history like you should have then you should have an idea of what is going on."
"What we need to do is capture all of these Cardians before all of Crystal Tokyo is drained of energy," Mina added.
"What I want to know is how did they get free," asked Rini.
"We have been looking into that," Raye replied. "We've concluded that one of you children must have gotten out the book and played the music that brought them to life. Since the children of the palace help aren't allowed in the library that narrows it down to all of you."
"The question is which of you did this," Lita added.
Ariel felt her heart drop to her feet. She tried to keep her expression neutral. "How can I tell them it was me," she asked herself. "Mommy will be so mad if she finds out. I'll never be allowed in the library again."
"No one is speaking up," Serenity asked. Silence was her response. "Very well. Until someone confesses the library is off limits to the children unless an adult is with them."
"That's not fair," Hope protested. "Why should all of us be punished?"
"Because we don't know who did this," Michiru quietly explained to her.
"I bet it was Gloria," Daisy snapped. "It sounds like something she would do."
"Well it wasn't," Gloria shouted angrily. "I never go into the library."
"Yeah right," Faith muttered under her breath. She and Hope glared at Gloria.
"I'm telling you it wasn't me," Gloria screamed in rage.
"Enough," Amy commanded. "Accusing each other isn't going to solve anything."
"She's right," Serenity stated. "The important thing now is that we defeat the Cardians again." Everyone nodded in agreement.
After the meeting was over Ariel stood with Madelyn waiting for her mother. "I bet it was Gloria who freed them," Madelyn retorted. "It has to be."
"Maybe," Ariel murmured as her conscious gnawed at her. Suddenly she felt herself being picked up. She looked up into Amy's eyes.
"You're very quiet," Amy observed. "Are you feeling all right?" Ariel just nodded and rested her head on Amy's shoulder. Amy smiled and kissed her. "Let's get your bath and put you to bed." Amy left the room carrying Ariel with her.
Gloria had stormed ahead of her mother on the way back to their quarters. She was furious. "It's not fair," she thought angrily. "They have no proof but they still think it's me who let those Cardians loose." Gloria entered her quarters and flew to her bedroom, not even acknowledging her father or Artemis who were in the living room. She slammed the door in her fury.
"Wow," Asai commented to Artemis. "She's upset about something."
"No kidding," Artemis replied.
The door opened again and Mina walked in. "What's going on with Gloria," Asai asked in concern.
Mina sighed and quietly explained what had happened. "Nani," Artemis cried. "Those Cardians are on the loose again?"
"I'm afraid so," Mina replied. "And most of the other Chibi Senshi think Gloria was the one who revived them."
"And Gloria denies it," Asai concluded.
Mina nodded her head. "I had better go and talk to her," she stated. Mina headed into Gloria's room. Gloria was sitting on her bed angrily pounding at one of her pillows, which was in her lap. "Are you okay Darling," Mina asked as she sat down next to her daughter.
"I didn't do it," Gloria shouted. "It's not fair Mom. Just because I get into trouble a lot they automatically blame me. I didn't do it and no one believes me."
"I believe you," Mina quietly told her.
"Why," asked Gloria. "Because you're my mother."
"No," Mina replied. She placed a hand on Gloria's cheek. "Since I am your mother I can tell when you are lying. Right now I know you are telling the truth. Also whenever you have done something wrong you have never denied it."
"Thank you Mom," Gloria choked as a tear fell down her cheek. Mina put an arm around her and held her close. "Just wait until I find the person who did let them free," Gloria told herself. "I'll get that creep once and for all."
Ariel lay wide-awake in her bed. Amy had put her to bed hours ago but she had been able to fall asleep. Ariel could not stop thinking about what had happened. She was feeling somewhat guilty that the others were blaming Gloria but she was also afraid to tell her parents that she was the one who revived the Cardians. Next to her Moonbeam lay sound asleep. Ariel thought about waking him up but decided against it.
Finally she got up and padded over to her door. She went through and saw that the door to her parents' room was open. That meant she could go in. Ariel crept quietly into their room and tiptoed over to Amy's side of the bed. Amy was sleeping on her side. Ariel gently tapped her on the shoulder. "Mommy," she whispered. When Amy didn't stir Ariel raised her voice, "Mommy."
"Huh," Amy murmured opening her eyes. She saw Ariel standing in front of her. She sat up. "What is it Darling?"
"I can't sleep," Ariel replied. Amy pulled her onto her lap.
"What's wrong," Amy asked as she felt Ariel's forehead for possible fever.
"I...uh...I," Ariel fumbled. She was about to tell Amy what had happened today with the Cardians but lost her nerve.
"Have you slept at all," Amy asked.
"No," Ariel sighed.
"Great," Amy thought to herself. "We're in for a battle in the morning." Amy lay Ariel down in between her and Greg. "Get some sleep," she firmly told the little girl. "Whatever is worrying you we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Yes Mommy," Ariel replied. Amy wrapped her arms around her. "If Mommy knew what I did she would be so angry."
The next day after school Gloria sat alone in her quarters. All day she had to listen to Hope and Faith accusing her of releasing the Cardians. Daisy joined them on the way home. Madelyn also stated that she thought Gloria had been the one. Maggie didn't say anything about it but Gloria could see the accusation in her eyes. She didn't know what Ariel though. The youngest Chibi Senshi had gotten very little sleep the night before and was grumpy as a result.
It comforted Gloria to know that her parents, Annika and Rini all believed her but she still wished the others would leave her alone. Mina told her that as long as she knew she didn't do it then that was all that matter. "I wonder who did release the Cardians," Gloria asked herself. It bothered her that the person responsible had not come forward but instead sat back and let Gloria take the blame.
"I'll go and talk to Pluto," Gloria decided. "She might be able to tell me something." With that she left her quarters and headed for her destination.
Sailor Pluto stood at her post keeping an eye on the time stream. She knew the Senshi and the Chibi Senshi were getting ready to take part in another battle. Pluto wasn't concerned. Even though there were several outcomes of this battle present before her she had enough faith in the Senshi and the Chibi Senshi to defeat the Cardians.
A movement behind her took her attention away from the time stream. Pluto smiled. She was expecting this visitor. "Hello Gloria," she greeted the little girl.
"Hi Sailor Pluto," Gloria replied.
Pluto turned and gazed into the child's eyes. "You're troubled," she stated.
"Yes," Gloria murmured. "And I'm sure you know why."
"Of course," Pluto told her. "I know it's hard when you get blamed for something you didn't do."
"Then you believe me too Sailor Pluto," Gloria's eyes lit up.
"Of course," Pluto replied. "I know who released the Cardians."
"Who," Gloria demanded. "Please tell me."
Pluto shook her head. "I cannot do that," she informed the child of Venus. She saw the upset look in Gloria's eyes and quickly assured her. "The culprit will be found out. The guilt she is feeling right now is overwhelming. Eventually she'll be unable to keep it to herself much longer."
"But that's not fair," Gloria protested. "I'm being blamed for something I didn't do."
"But the one who did it will be in even greater trouble," Pluto told her. "Be patient little one. All of this will make you a stronger person."
Gloria realized that she wasn't going to get anything out of the Guardian of Time. She sighed in resignation and decided to be as patient as she could.
"I can't believe Gloria won't admit that she released the Cardians," Faith told Hope. The two of them were on their way home from the park. Faith had gone to play ball with some of the boys from her class and Hope came to watch.
"She is the only one who would do something like that," Hope added.
"I think you two should stop worrying about who released them and focus on defeating them," a voice said. The two girls turned around and saw Amy was behind them with Ariel. She had taken some time off to go for a walk with Ariel.
"We are going to help defeat them Aunt Amy," Hope replied. "But we know Gloria did it."
Ariel listened to the conversation with guilt rising up inside of her. Although she was very tired she had wanted to go for a walk with her mother. Ariel thought maybe she could confess but she lost her nerve.
"Mommy," she whispered.
"Yes Darling," Amy knelt down. She had been trying to find out what was bothering Ariel but was unsuccessful.
Ariel was about to confess when she lost her nerve again, "Nothing."
Amy sighed. She was about to say something else when they heard screams. Amy ran off to the source with Ariel, Hope and Faith at her heels. They saw a Cardian robbing people of their energy. "That's the one that we first saw when Luna restored our memories," she thought to herself. She turned to the girls. "Transform," she commanded and they all pulled out their henshin wands.
"MERCURY ETERNAL MAKE UP!"
"MERCURY POWER MAKE UP!"
"URANUS POWER MAKE UP!"
"NEPTUNE POWER MAKE UP!"
Transformations took place and soon a Senshi with three Chibi Senshi were approaching the Cardian. Sailor Mercury decided speeches weren't necessary so she immediately powered up. "MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY!" The attack flew out and hit the Cardian. It turned toward her in anger. "A lovely evening in the park where parents spend time with their children has been ruined by you," Mercury called. "I'm Sailor Mercury and in the name of Mercury I will dunk your head in cold water."
"And I am Sailor Chibi Mercury, her daughter," Chibi Mercury weakly called out in between yawns. "I will punish you."
"From the Outer Solar System I am Sailor Chibi Uranus," Chibi Uranus yelled out.
"And I am Sailor Chibi Neptune," added Chibi Neptune. "We will stop you from hurting anymore innocent people."
The Cardian reached out long vines and caught Chibi Mercury who was too tired to fight. He began draining her energy.
"Chibi Mercury," Mercury shouted and she turned to the Cardian. "Let her go."
The Cardian paid no attention and continued to drain Chibi Mercury of her energy.
"TIDAL WAVE!"
"EARTHQUAKE TREMORS!"
The attacks hit the Cardian who dropped Chibi Mercury. Sailor Mercury quickly caught her daughter. "You're too tired to fight Sweetie," she whispered as she lay her down under a tree. In rage she turned back to the Cardian. "MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY!" The attack flew out and weakened the Cardian.
"Now it's time for me to step in," called another voice. Everyone turned and saw Cosmic Moon with Chibi Venus. "How dare you interrupt a lovely evening," she shouted. "I am an agent of love and justice a pretty soldier in a sailor suit Sailor Cosmic Moon and in the name of the moon I will punish you."
"And I am Sailor Chibi Venus," called Chibi Venus. "I will give you divine punishment."
"Forget the preliminaries and get him now Cosmic Moon," ordered Mercury as she gathered Chibi Mercury into her arms.
"Right," called Cosmic Moon and she pulled out her scepter. "MOON PRINCESS HEALING KISS!"
The attack engulfed the Cardian. "Cleansing," he shouted before he turned back into a card.
"Trying to make up for your mistake," Chibi Uranus asked Chibi Venus.
"I didn't do it," Chibi Venus shouted in rage.
"Yeah right," Chibi Neptune muttered under her breath. She and her sister walked away.
Chibi Venus was about to shout something else out when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and saw it was Cosmic Moon. "I believe you Chibi Venus," she told her.
"Thank you," Chibi Venus replied. "But I will find out who brought those Cardians back to life."
That night Amy was in the middle of getting Ariel into bed. As she had predicted Ariel had fallen asleep at dinner. Amy carried her back to their quarters and changed her into her pajamas. Ariel stirred. "Mommy," she murmured. "I need to tell you something."
"What is it Darling," Amy asked. "Tell Mommy what is bothering you."
Ariel was about to say what had happened when she lost her nerve. "Nothing," she sighed with a big yawn.
Worried, Amy tucked Ariel into bed. She knew her child had something on her mind. Ariel was asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow. Amy kissed her. "I will find out what is bothering you," she promised as she left the room.
