Disclaimer: "I don't own Sailor Moon and the Chibi Scouts with the exception of Rini belong to Angel Raye. Snibbit is my creation. I decided to write a Christmas Chibi Scout story this time around for the upcoming holidays. Part two done and the final part, part three is soon to be started.

The Youma that Stole Christmas -- By Ravyn Knyght

--Part Two--

Marcus lead the way with Snibbit taking shelter in one of his coat pockets. "How much further?" Cosmic Moon yelled over the wind. "We're half way there." Marcus replied. "Good because I'm freezing!" griped Chibi Venus. "We all are so quit your whining!" Chibi Jupiter shot back, as another fight got started up. As Chibi Pluto and Cosmic Moon tried to intervene, the storm started to break. "Ah excuse me....Chibi Scouts...." Marcus tried to get their attention. Chibi Saturn and Chibi Mercury looked to see what he wanted. The two stared in awe as the storm cleared and they looked around at the landscape. Once beautifully decorated christmas trees were now in ruins with their onraments broken and strewn about the snow. There were several cottages where the Elves lived that had been completely leveled by the strong winds. Several large candy canes were toppled over and broken. Marcus walked over to an area and picked up a broken sign that read "Christmas Village". "This is terrible." Marcus exclaimed shaking his head as he looked around the destroyed village. The Chibi's broke from their arguement when they realized the storm stopped. Chibi Mercury scanned the ruined village to see if anyone was still here. All the other Chibi Scouts stared in disbelief at the remains of the little town. It was a far cry from some of the christmas books some of them had read. Chibi Mars and Chibi Saturn put a comforting arm around the heart-broken old Elf. "Don't worry. We'll make Blizzara pay for this." Chibi Uranus told the old Elf.

As the Chibi's explored the damaged village, something did not seem right to Chibi Mars. "There's an evil presence hiding somewhere. We should becareful." she reported to the others. "Alright be ready for anything." Cosmic Moon ordered. As if on cue, a large evil snowman sprung up from the ground in front of Marcus and Snibbit and pulled them both under the snow. "Marcus! Snibbit!" Chibi Saturn screamed running over to where the two were standing. She dropped to her knees and started clawing at the snow in an attempt to dig them out and was soon joined by the others. It was no use though, the two were gone. Just then several more snow men sprang up and surrounded the Chibi Scouts.

"We are Blizzara's first line of defense and the last thing you'll ever see!" the lead snow man laughed as he hurled a snowball at the Chibi Scouts. The Chibi Scouts screamed as the snowball grew to entrap them. The snowmen then got together and pushed the Chibi-ball down a hill. "Mars Firestorm!" Chibi Mars melted the snow, freeing everyone. "Let's show these over-grown snow cones what we can do! Earthquake Trem---" Chibi Venus clamped a hand over Chibi Uranus's mouth. "You'll cause an avalanche, stupid!" Chibi Venus warned. "Let us try! Tidal Wave!" Chibi Neptune said as her attack struck the snowmen, turning them to ice. "Destructive Ray!" called Chibi Saturn as her attack shattered the snow men. "No time to celebrate guys! We have to find that ice palace and stop Blizzara before sun-up!" Cosmic Moon cautioned. Once again they set off with Chibi Mercury scanning the snowy expanse for Blizzara's strong hold.

"This is hopeless!" Chibi Saturn moaned as she looked around the landscape, seeing nothing but snow. "We'll never find them." she cried thinking that she'll never see her pet again. "Don't cry, Maddie! Look! I can track Snibbit through those nanobots he has in him!" Chibi Mercury pointed out. "Really?" she squealed. "Uh-huh and if we keep going this way we get there in no time." Chibi Mercury assured her friend. Then this way it is!" Cosmic Moon stated as they continued on their trek. As they drew closer, Blizzara kept a close eye on them. "So these are the ones that you think will save you all?" Blizzara laughed at Marcus who was being held by some of his former co-workers. "They'll stop you! Just wait and see!" Marcus shouted. "Snibbit!" added the little animal. "Hmph! Take this old fool and that little rat and lock him up with his boss and those other filthy animals!" Blizzara ordered. "You won't survive this next fight!" she vowed, sending another group of youma to fight the Chibi Scouts.

"Stop right there by the order of Queen Blizzara!" shouted a voice. The Chibi Scouts looked around to try and locate the source. "Down here you dopes!" shouted a little gingerbread man. The girls stared wide-eyed at the little snack. "I'm gonna make you pay for what you did to the Snow Bro Squad!" the tasty morsel threatened. The Chibi's tried their hardest not to burst out laughing. "So what are you going to do? Bite our toes?" Chibi Saturn said between snickers. "No...I'm gonna sing a song!" the baked goody declared. That did it. The Chibi Scouts fell to the snow in hysterics. They didn't notice the frowning look on the cookie's face as he pulled out a microphone. "And that song is...!" he shouted over the laughter, "The Twelve Pains of Christmas!".

"~On the twelevth day of Christmas Queen Blizzara gave to me...twelve goblins clawing!, eleven anvils dropping!, ten trolls a thrashing!, nine wolves a snapping!, eight gnomes a gnashing!, seven bombs a blasting!, six sharks a circling!, five minutes of Queen Blizzara praising my name!, four pyscho polar bears and three stone golems to knock out your two buck teeth. Leaving you all in a world of hurt and mis-er-y!~"

The girls stopped laughing when they realized what was surrounded them. "Oh, good grief!" Cosmic Moon muttered as she looked around at the horde of youma closing in on them.

Elsewhere, Marcus and Snibbit were thrown into the cage with Santa and the reindeer. "Don't worry boss! I got the Chibi Scouts here before she captured me. They'll be here soon!" he happily reported. "Yes, I know. But the morning is fast approaching and I don't think they'll get here in time. We need to do something ourselves." Santa stated as he, Marcus, the reindeer and Snibbit gathered around to listen to Santa's plan on how to escape.

"Help me!" squealed the fleeing cookie after the Chibi Scouts laid waste to his entire army. They were now in the mood for a mid-battle snack. "Hey! Cookie boy! Got milk?" called Chibi Uranus as she dove at him. "HaHa! As fast as fast can be, you'll never catch me! Loser!" the cookie taunted, looking back at them but not where he was going as he ran into a hot spring. He screamed and yelled as he floundered about in the hot water. "Look what you did to me! I'm all soggy now!" the cookie complained as he crawled out of the water. "Now I'm f-f-f-ree-hee-he-zee-z-zzz-ing!" he wimpered as the cold temperatures froze him solid. "Uh-oh!" the gingerbread cookie cried as he fell over and shattered. "Well that's how the cookie crumbles." Chibi Pluto stated as everyone gave a groan. "Sorry. I couldn't resist!" an embarassed Chibi Pluto apologized to the group.

"So you know what to do little fella. Good luck and be brave!" Santa said wishing Snibbit the best. "Snibbit!" the little animal reported with pride, glad to be given such an important mission. Eventhough the workshop was transformed, the heating system wasn't destroyed. Santa figured if they could get it started again then the ice palace, including the ice cage confining them, would simply melt away. Being the only one small enough to squeeze through the icicle-like bars, it was up to Snibbit to get the furnace started again. Snibbit quickly set off to carry out the plan.

"Well we're finally here." Chibi Neptune stated as they stared at the menacing ice sculpture that used to be Santa's workshop. The front doors opened and a division of Dark Elves came rushing out to fight the Chibi Scouts. "What are we to do? We can't wipe out Santa's workforce!" Chibi Mars pointed out. "Yes! What are you going to do?" Blizzara questioned in a laugh. "You lose and I win! There will never be another Christmas!" the snow queen crowed. "Earthquake Tremors!" Chibi Uranus used her attack to shake up the Dark Elf formations. "Tidal Wave! Icicle Spears!" Chibi Neptune and Chibi Mercury added their attacks, freezing the disorganized attack force in their tracks. "Good work girls!" Cosmic Moon praised her team. "Alright Blizzara! The gloves are off! Your going down! We are agents of love and justice and in the spirit of Christmas, we will punish you!" Cosmic Moon stated as she and the others prepared to fight.

As the battle with Blizzara raged outside, Snibbit delved deeper into the bowels of the ice palace in search for the boiler room. He cautiously bounced down the dark, frozen corridors trying not to be afraid. After narrowly avoiding several patrols of gingerbread men armed with candy canes, Snibbit had reached his destination. Once inside, he quickly went about pouncing on the buttons and switches that Santa told him about. Little did he know that someone was watching him bounce about on the control panel. After hitting all the right buttons, all Snibbit had to do was hit the master switch to start the furnace up. Unfortunately, the lever was stuck and Snibbit did not have the weight needed to force the lever down. "Ooouuu! I'm tel--ling!" warned a spying gingerbread man. Fearing capture, Snibbit chased after the tattle-tale in an attempt to stop him. Snibbit soon found himself surrounded by dozens of gingerbread men. "That's the one who tried to turn the furnace on!" squealed the gingerbread man to the group. "Let's get him boys!" ordered the leader as they chased Snibbit back to the boiler room.

Outside, the fight was going badly for Cosmic Moon and her team. "You shouldn't have bothered coming here to save such a frivilous holiday." Blizzara sneered at the exhausted group. "It's does nothing more then serve the greedy needs of the people of this world!" Blizzara delcared tossing a bunch of torn up letters to Santa that were written by the children of the world. "That's not true!" Cosmic Moon declared. "Yeah! It's not about giving and getting presents!" Chibi Jupiter stated. ""It's about spending time with the people you love!" Chibi Mars added. "It's the one time of the year when people can show how much they care for one another!" Chibi Venus spoke up. "And we are not about to let you put a stop it!" Chibi Mercury declared. "That's right! Even if you shut down Santa's workshop you won't stop Christmas! People will still come together in the spirit of peace and love!" Chibi Saturn pointed out. "Being adopted, the Christmas season holds special meaning for me and my sister!" Chibi Uranus started. "It gives us the chance to show how much we love our adopted parents and to remember the parents we lost!" Chibi Neptune finished her sister's sentiment. "As the future Guardian of Time I can assure you that the Christmas spirit will be around forever. There will never be a force strong enough to destroy it!" Chibi Pluto finished up.

Just then a rumbling could be heard as pieces of ice started to break off of the ice palace. "My palace!" Blizzara screeched as she dodged the falling ice. "That little fella did it!" Santa cheered as hot air blasted through the heating vents, melting the ice jail. Outside the Chibi Scouts used the distraction to team up on Blizzara. "Mercury Icicle Spears!", "Venus Bueatiful Shockwave!", "Mars Firestorm!", "Jupiter Deadly Lightning Bolt!", "Destructive Ray!", "Earthquake Tremors!", "Tidal Wave!", "Screams of Destruction!". The Chibi Scouts attacks made contact, knocking Blizzara down. "Merry Christmas to all and a Bah-humbug to you! Moon Healing Therapy Kiss!" Cosmic Moon declared as her attack vaporized a screaming Blizzara.

The girls watched as the ice palace reformed itself into Santa's workshop. Once the transformation was completed the Chibi Scouts rushed in to check on the safety of Santa and his friends. They were met by Santa and Marcus upon entry, "Marcus! you're all right! Is Snibbit with you?" Chibi Saturn asked about her pet's safety. "Yeah and what happened to Blizzara's ice palace?" Cosmic Moon asked. "Just a little plan I came up with. But it couldn't have worked without that little animal of yours. Seeing how he never came back we were just on our way to look for him." Santa told them. "Alright everyone! Split up!" Cosmic Moon ordered as they searched the work shop for Snibbit.

Chibi Mercury and Chibi Saturn went together as Chibi Mercury could track Snibbit with her computer. "He should be down here." Chibi Mercury pointed to the stairs leading to the boiler room. The girls quickly ran down the stairs and through the water filled hallway leading to the furnace room. "I guess those nano-thingys are getting a good workout!" Cosmic Moon said as she and the other Chibi Scouts joined the two youngest members. "I hope that there aren't a billion Snibbits running wild down here!" Chibi Venus commented. "Nope. Just one." Chibi Mercury replied as they entered the boiler room. They found Snibbit on his back near a lever on the control panel. As they came closer, they heard him moaning in pain. "Oh, no! Please don't be hurt!" Chibi Saturn cried rushing to him. She noticed a size and weight difference as she cradled the hurt animal in her hands. "Oh he's not hurt. He just as a industrial sized tummy ache!" Santa laughed as he looked about the room. Everywhere there were broken pieces of candy cane and remnants of the ginger bread men that were guarding the room. Snibbit just moaned and gave a loud belch, "Maybe there is something we can do to make him feel better. Come along." Santa invited.

"I'd love to give you girls a tour but I'm pressed for time so how about I grant you one wish each to have a present of your choosing, from me to you." Santa offered. "Thank you!" the girls all replied. Each of them took a turn sitting on his lap as they whispered their secret wish into his ear. "Your turn." Santa said to Cosmic Moon who was a little hesitant. "I already know of a huge surprise that your family will be getting but I'll still grant you one if you want." he told the teenager. Deciding to go for it Cosmic Moon whispered what she wanted most. "I see. But even that pales in comparison to the other surprise I've hinted at." Santa stated. Cosmic Moon wondered what that could be. After they were finished, Marcus offered them a tour of the place before they went back. "So just how do you intend to get us back?" Chibi Neptune asked. "The same way I got you here!" Marcus said as the tour came to an end. They wondered what he meant but before any of them could ask, Marcus tossed some sparkling dust at them, causing them to fall to the floor asleep.
