"And you're going to stop me, little girl?" Purapan demanded.
"Someway, somehow," Blossom hissed.
He laughed and threw a handful of candy at the girls. "CANDY WRAPPERS!"
"Get away from the candy!" Blossom warned.
"Huh?" Serena said as Purapan started to play a different tune. The candies took on humaid shapes.
"Go bonbon babies!" Purapan yelled.
The bonbon babies fly at the girls as they duck and try to push them away. Mina kicked one and it bounced off playground equipment and it bounced back, crashing into her. Amy ducked one, allowing Lita to catch it. Blossom rolled underneath a merry-go-round for cover.
'I wish I could help them,' she thought to herself, 'but I'm not a sailor scout.'
"You'll need to transform!" she shouted, but being underneath the merry-go-round, they were unable to hear her. "Oh, I feel so helpless!"
Serena and Rini ran around a jungle gym.
"Rini, get rid of this!" Serena yelled.
"What should I do?!" Rini demanded. "YOU should be protecting ME!"
"Protecting YOU?! You caused this!"
"Leave us alone!"
"Transform, are you scouts are what?!" Blossom yelled.
"Right," Luna said, "Everyone, transform!"
Amy was the first to hear. "MERCURY STAR POWER!"
Lita threw the bonbon baby to side, to finish off of later. "JUPITER STAR POWER!"
"MARS STAR POWER!"
"VENUS STAR POWER!"
"TRANSFORM!"
Throughout the scouts' transformation, Blossom can't help but marvel at them. "That is so…so wonderful!"
"VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!"
Venus' attack turns the bonbon baby chasing Rini and Serena into a regular piece of candy. They glanced at it and nodded. They summoned the power of their moon brooches.
"SUPER MOON CRISIS POWER!"
"Yeah!" Blossom exclaimed. "Go Rini!" Blossom started to crawl out to get a better look. "Get those overgrown candies!"
"MOON TIARA MAGIC!"
"MERCURY BLAST!"
"…FLASH!"
"THUNDER!"
"That's the way!" Blossom shouted. "Good work scouts!"
"Why you!" Purapan said angrily. "Who are you?"
"I was waiting for you to ask," Super Sailor Moon said. You're kidnapping children with your evil tunes! Children are our biggest treasures, so we will never let you take them from us! On behalf of love…!"
"…and on behalf of justice!"
"I am Sailor Moon!"
"And I am Sailor Mini Moon!"
"And in the name of the Moon…"
"We shall punish you!"
"We're also here to punish you!" Mars added with a yell as the other scouts walked up.
"We're the sailor scouts!" the four remaining sailor scouts shouted.
Purapan didn't seem impressed. "Heh. Big deal!" He began to play a different tune, creating an illusion. The playground became a grassy field.
"Oh no!" Blossom cried, scrambling to her feet. "Scouts, don't fall for it!"
"I wonder where that wonderful, sweet smell is coming from." Mercury said, her eyes closed.
"And that house over there!" Mini Moon exclaimed.
"Oh, look at that! It's a gingerbread house!" Mars gasped.
"Sailor Moon," Luna said, "be careful!"
"Oh no, what's happening to them?" Diana asked.
"They're being fooled. "Artemis answered. "They're seeing an illusion created by the sound of the pipe."
"And we're the only ones that see right through it," Blossom said, "we've got to try to get the scouts' attention before something happens!"
"How?" Diana asked.
"I'm not sure," Blossom said. She looked at Purapan, "we've got to get his pipe."
"It's dangerous," Luna said. "You're not a scout."
"But I have to do something!"
"Maybe Tuxedo Mask will come and save them in the nick of time," Artemis said, "he always does."
The scouts ran to the gingerbread house and Mini moon opened the door. They rush inside, giddy.
"All right. Get out of my way." Jupiter said. "Hurry up."
"Hurry," Venus said, "hurry."
The scouts became little children once they stepped inside. "Hey, you guys, how come you're all so small?" Venus queried. "You look like little kids."
"But you're the same as us," Jupiter said.
"Hey, that's right." Mini Moon stated. "You're all my size now."
"Oh, hey look at this." Sailor Moon said, looking up to a curtain of donuts and licking her lips. "This looks yummy." She grabs the donut and gets ready to take a bite.
"Sailor Moon, hello! That's not a donut!" Blossom got in her face and started waving her arms. "She won't listen to me!"
"She never does," Luna muttered.
But then, helped arrived. The toss of Tuxedo Mask's rose interrupted Purapan's pipe playing.
"Ah!" Purapan yelled in anger.
"Huh?" Sailor Moon mumbled.
Purapan turned and searched the trees. Tuxedo Mask walked up.
"Hurray for Tuxedo Mask!" Sailor Moon and Mini Moon exclaimed.
"Don't bite into the donut, Sailor Moon." Tuxedo Mask advised. "It's dangerous."
Sailor Moon looked at what she thought was a donut, but it was actually a ring on a play set. She laughed and swung it away, but it came back and hit her in the face. Sailor Moon fell to her knees and cried as the other scouts sweat dropped.
Tuxedo Mask jumped from the tree branch to stop Purapan. "So? You won't stop me!"
Tuxedo Mask took out his walking stick and swung to Purapan, but he missed. Purapan counterattacked with a bolt of energy, sending him flying to the deck.
"Tuxedo Mask!" Moon exclaimed.
Purapan took out his pipe and began to play another tune. The children--once asleep--now rose up like zombies. They cornered in on him and he quickly jumped to the edge. They grabbed his ankles to prevent him from going anywhere. Tuxedo Mask tried to shake them off and looked up to see a Bonbon baby flying to him. It crashed into him, knocking him off the ship and just before he fell, he was saved.
"RAINBOW COLOR SLIDE!"
Sailor Rainbow had appeared. She sent a wave of color underneath Tuxedo Mask, creating a slide for him to land on the ground safely.
"Yeh all right, laddy?" she asked, jumping to him.
"Sailor Rainbow?" he mumbled.
"Of course it's me!" she exclaimed. "And I brought along a friend of yours--this laddy just can't stay away!" she pointed her thumb to Fiore behind her. Fiore went to help his friend up.
"We'll talk later, Darien," Fiore said.
"Not another one of you!" Purapan snarled.
"We're like wolves, laddy," Rainbow snapped. "We travel in packs!"
Purapan replied by creating more Bonbon babies.
"Stop this now!" Pereru shouted from one of the climbing structures.
"Who is that?" Sailor Venus asked.
"Pereru…" Sailor Mini Moon whispered.
"Pereru, why do you stop me?" Purapan demanded.
But Pupuran, why are you being so violent?!" Pereru demanded. "I don't understand what you're doing!"
"Pupuran, what's going on?!" An evil voice of a woman demanded.
Fiore flinched, recognizing the voice. "It's her."
Purapan turned around and got to his knees. The eyes of the ship projected an image of Bidiyanu "Yes, Badiyanu."
"Is that her, Fiore?" Rainbow asked Fiore. "The one you told me about?"
"Yes," he nodded.
"She's going to destroy the Earth," said Blossom, surprising Rainbow and Fiore.
"Who're you?" Rainbow asked.
"You don't know?" Moon questioned, "Lydia, we've got to hae a little talk…"
"Aunt Lydia," Mini Moon grabbed Rainbow's arm and whispered in her ear.
"What?!" Sailor Rainbow shouted. "You've got to be kidding! Our daughter?"
"She came from the future," Mini Moon explained.
"Why isn't she there where it's safe?" Sailor Rainbow questioned, "li'l lassie, try not to get in any trouble while we wallop this--"
Fiore cleared his throat.
"Er--"
"Box her ears?" Sailor Mini Moon suggested.
"Aye, dat's whut I's gonna sey!"
"Is anything wrong?" Bidiyanu questioned. "I won't accept any delay in our plan."
"Yes…but Peruru is trying to stop me from executing the plan." Pupuran explained.
"I'm trying to stop him because…I don't agree with his methods" Peruru said. "He's gathering children using violence."
"I'd be silent if I were you!" Pupuran growled.
"No, I won't be silent at all." He turned to Bidiyanu, "Bidiyanu I can't trust in you anymore."
"Badiyanu's intentions are good!" Pupuran argued. "She wants the children to have eternal happiness!"
"That's not true!" Fiore shouted.
"I don't believe you at all." Peruru muttered.
"Peruru…" Sailor Mini Moon called as she ran up to him. Pereru gasped.
"Mini Moon, wait!" Blossom warned. "Don't let Bidiyanu see you!" She grabbed her arm.
"Why? Peruru is my friend."
"Well…it looks like you and this little girl know each other." Badiyanu said. "Is it true, Peruru?"
"No! She has nothing to do with me!" He retorted.
"Good. Follow my orders!" Bidiyanu commanded.
"Bidiyanu!" Peruru refused.
"You must bring that small girl together with the other children." She said to Pupuran,
"Yes of course," he said. "What about the other?" He looked at Blossom.
"I don't need her,'" Bidiyanu said. "She's not human."
"What?!" Blossom snarled.
There was a flash of dark energy to the Bonbon Babies to make them stronger.
"Badiyanu!" Peruru shouted angrily as she laughed evilly and vanished away.
"Get ready to fight again!" Jupiter urged.
"Don't have to tell me twice!" Rainbow said.
"Okay, Bonbon Babies go!" Pupuran shouted.
"No, Pupuran!" Peruru yelled.
"Let's do this," Rainbow muttered. "RAINBOW GREEN ZAPPER!"
"JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!"
"MECURY AQUA RAPSODY!"
The Bonbon babies change to candies, but back to their bonbon babies form.
"No way!" Rainbow shouted. "They're stronger!"
The Bonbon Babies head for Sailor Mini Moon. Blossom stood in front of her protectively, eyes fierce, and arms straight out. But the Bonbon Babies keep flying at them.
"Stop," Blossom said, "Stop!"
"Blossom!" Sailor Rainbow exclaimed.
Peruru began to play his flute to make the Bonbon Babies stop, but it had no effect. He gasped.
Tuxedo Mask dove and shoved the Bonbon Baby away. He unsteadily got up to his feet.
"Tuxedo Mask, watch out!" Rainbow warned.
Too late. The Bonbon Baby slammed him into the ship and knocked unconscious. Blossom shivered in shock and Mini Moon began to sob.
"Oh no, Tuxedo Mask!" Moon shouted and ran to get to him.
Sailor Rainbow became very angry. "No one hurts my friends! Especially candy gone bad!" she summoned all of her rainbow coins to form an attack on the Bonbon babies. "RAINBOW PRIMARY SWIRL!" three of the Bonbon babies changed back to candies with the attack from the yellow, red and blue coins. She turned to the remaining two Bonbon Babies. "I will not allow you to take them! RAINBOW BLUE BLATSER!"
The Bonbon babies dodge the Bonbon babies as they pick Sailor Mini Moon up, with her hanging on to Blossom's hand. Apparently, they just want Sailor Mini Moon.
"Don't let go, Rini!" Blossom shouted.
"Blossom, help!"
But the strain holding on to her hand is too much and Blossom fell down. "Sailor Mini Moon!" Blossom hurried to her feet and ran to the ship as the other scouts shout out their anger.
"Oh no!" Mars shouted.
Sailor Jupiter tried to board the ship but the drawbridge closed gefore she can even send a thunderclap. Mini Moon moved to the edge and called for help. Pupuran began to play and the children start dancing to prevent Rini from jumping off the ship.
"Jupiter, give me a boost!" Rainbow called. "I can try to get to Mini Moon!"
"Got it, Rainbow!" Jupiter acknoldged holding out her hands for Rainbow to jump on and Jupiter tossed her in the air. Rainbow grabbed the edge and reached for Mini Moon's hand. During the commotion, no one noticed Blossom disappear, travel through the ship and appear in the midst of the children.
"I can't let Mini Moon be alone," she whispered.
"Rainbow, save me!" Mini Moon pleaded. "Help! Help me, please!"
"Just give me your hand, Rini!" Rainbow said. "Reach! Reach!"
"I can't!" she gasped. "I can't get through!"
"Try, Rini! Try! I almost have you!"
The ship began to take off and just as Rainbow's hand was about to touch Mini Moon's, one of the other children got in the way and Rainbow couldn't hold on to the ship anymore. Her hand slipped and she began to fall.
"Sailor Rainbow!" Fiore screamed. He ran to her and caught her before she fell to the ground. "Are you all right?"
Sailor Rainbow got to her feet and groaned. "I was so close! Sailor Mini Moon!"
"Mooooom!" Sailor Mini Moon screamed as the ship went away. Sailor Moon was stunned to the point of panic, shaking her head in denial.
"No," she muttered, "no!"
"Don't worry, Sailor Moon, we'll get her back." Rainbow said as she put her arms around her.
Sailor Moon and the scouts watched helplessly as the ship carried Mini Moon away. Then, Rainbow got a painful feeling. They were missing one person.
"Fiore!" she called, "Where's Blossom?"
"I think," he said, looking at the sky, "I think she must've boared the ship during the comotion."
"What?" She gasped. "No! What is she thinking?"
"Maybe she wants to be with Rini so she won't be alone," he replied.
Lydia let out an exasperated sigh. "Now we have one more child to be concerned about."
Pereru jumped from the climbing structure and ran onto ground level. Venus and Mars put their arms in front of him so he could go no farther.
"Stop!" Venus exclaimed. "That's far enough!"
"Okay, kid," Mars said, "Tell us who you are!"
Pereru sighed and looked down, realizing he had some explaining to do.
****
All of the children on the ship were singing and acting happy except for Sailor Mini Moon. She stood quiet, wondering how the others would find her and trying to be brave. Then she feels a hand fall on her shoulder. She gasped.
"Huh? Blossom!"
Blossom smiled and put a finger to her lips.
"What're you doing on the ship?"
"I stowed away."
"Why?"
"I wanted to be with you so you wouldn't be alone," Blossom said. "What kinda friend would I be if I just let them take you?"
"I'm scared, Blossom." Sailor Mini Moon said. "How are the scouts supposed to find us?"
Two other ships joined Purapan's, playing the same music. They come to a land and the drawbridges opened.
"Maybe Pereru will tell them," Blossom said. "We're here."
"Welcome children," Badiyanu said.
The children run out happily, singing. Blossom and Mini Moon slowly walk inside the building, not as happy as the others.
"They have no idea what is about to happen to them," Blossom said
"Where are we, Blossom? What is this awful place?" Mini Moon asked. "Who's in charge?"
Blossom pointed at their feet, "Mini Moon, look!"
Mini Moon took in a gasp, seeing children sleeping in boxes. "I want to go home!"
Bolts of dark energy captured Mini Moon. She screamed and reached for Blossom. "Ahh, Blossom!"
"Mini Moon!" Blossom jumped and grabbed her hand and the girls are carried into a dark tunnel. They are dropped hard onto a floor.
"Ow," Blossom grumbled.
"So it was you, who led Pereru astray?" Badiyanu asked.
"Huh?" Mini Moon turned and gasped, seeing the dark energy around Mini Moon.
"Strange. I feel a mysterious energy."
Blossom moved in front of Mini Moon and held her hands out. "I know what you're after and you're not going to get it!"
Badiyanu laughed, "and you think you can stop me? This planet will eventually be absorbed into my Black Dream Hole, located in the center of this castle. My wonderful Black Dream Hole is consuming dream energy from children. The more children there are, the larger the Dream Hole will be. Once it reaches a certain size…it will be large enough to swallow your silly planet! All the ridiculous people of Earth will end up living in one of my peaceful Dream Boxes. Ah, yes, a lovely little dream I've had for a long time."
"Dream on!" Blossom shouted.
"Get a grip on reality, lady!" Sailor Mini Moon cried. "Your dream will always remain just a dream! It will never work with Earth!"
"Oh? Why do you think that, little girl?" Badiyanu demanded.
"I know it because the Earth has Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts!" Mini Moon retorted.
"It may have worked in the previous worlds, Badiyanu," Blossom hissed, "but not with Earth! You destroyed my father's home and there is no way we'll let you destroy my mother's home! You're the reason my father had to float around space his whole life. I'll never forgive you!"
"As I see it, my dear," Badiyanu said, "this is your new home. And your little friend there is going to help me follow out my plans!"
"Stay away from her!" Blossom screeched. But Blossom was tossed away and Sailor Mini Moon was grabbed. "No, Mini Moon! You let her go!"
"Blossom, you've got to find a way to set the children free!" Mini moon yelled.
"But I can't!" Blossom said.
"You have to try. Hurry!"
"What about you?"
"Don't worry about me, just free the others!"
"Mini Moon."
"Do it, Blossom!"
"There is no way you can break those dream boxes!" Badiyanu shouted. "They are indestructible."
"Maybe I'll get lucky!" Blossom cried, "My mother happens to be the scout of luck!" And with that, Blossom vanished. If Blossom could ever be lucky, now was the time.
