Richforce: There is something I forgot to mention in my last chapter. Molly's sister Jenny is an actual character in the magna named Osaka Naruru; I got the English name from Tuxedo Will and Doug Helms' "Adventures of the Chibi Scouts II". Also for those of you who are wondering scout uniforms are the same as in eternal form except for the opened locket showing a crystal in the planet's color. Helios fans may get mad at me this chapter. Sailor Moon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi and the chibi scouts belong to Angel Raye.

Chapter ten: The Angel of Black Wings
Helios finally got the formerly mini scouts to stop fighting over him. "Now that that is over, we should try to find a way out." said Rini keeping a tight grip on Helios.
A door with a mask appeared out of thin air standing in the middle of the void. "That seems to be as good a way as any." said Annika.
"Looks like a trap to me." said Daisy.
"And it seems to go to nowhere." said Ariel.
"Might as well try it." said Gloria. She opened the door and it appeared to lead to a zoo. "Come on!"
They all went through the door.
###
Scorpio watched on as a shadowed winged figure came behind him. "You require my services?"
"Yes, I felt that someone like you would be an asset. I need you to take care of someone you know who's in my little fun house."
"As you wish." And he left just as quickly as he came.
###
All of the cages in the zoo seemed to empty and the zoo deserted. "This is the first time I've ever seen a zoo with no animals." said Kaede.
"This is nothing like the sea park Mom and Dad would take me to when I wanted to see the dolphins." said Hope.
"All these empty cages give me creeps." said Faith.
"Wait I hear something." said Maggie.
"Sounds like a low growling." said Madelyn.
Then five odd colored lions surrounded them and licked their muzzles. "We may have to kill them." said Faith.
"Wait." said Rini. "Look at them more closely."
There were two male Lions, one blue and one orange, and three female lions, one was grey another pink and another was white with large black spots. Each of them had a yellow crescent moon on their foreheads.
"Diana, Crescent, Stardust, Moonbeam, Sunspot?"
The lions got ready to pounce. "Remember!" Helios said while using the Golden crystal that was in the place of his horn.
The Lions stopped and started to speak. "Rini?" Diana said. "You got older."
"But you all also shrank." said Stardust.
"We didn't shrink." said Annika. "You became adult lions."
"Lions?" Crescent asked. They looked at themselves and saw that they changed.
"Wow, I'm huge!" said Moonbeam.
"I'm glad you're happy," said Ariel. "But from what I can tell our minds have changed to match our bodies."
"We gotta find our folks and leave." said Gloria.
"We better do it soon because your meat is starting to smell really yummy right now." said Sunspot.
Another door appeared in the middle of the zoo. "I hope that this leads us to somewhere we won't be in danger." said Kaede.
"Probably not with our luck." said Daisy.
###
Vega entered Merlor's lab. "Scorpio, where are you?"
Merlor came forward. "I asked him to search out a lead in the location of the keys"
"I heard he hired a mercenary recently." He then looked Merlor. "You aren't hiding something are you?"
"I've learned my lesson."
"I'm keeping an eye on you." Vega said as he left.
"Scorpio should have consulted me about this mercenary." Merlor said.
###
The next area looked like a storybook garden. "I think I hear little kids laughing." said Helios.
They came over a hill and saw bunch of five year-old boys and girls wearing tunics running around. "Are those the scouts and knights?" Rini asked.
"I think so." said Helios. "And those two have to be Luna and Artemis." He pointed at a black kitten and white kitten.
Rini went over to the children. "Hey there."
"Go away!" Serena said.
"Yeah, we don't like grownups!" said Darien.
The kids then stuck their tongues out at them.
"Those little brats!" said Gloria.
"They won't even listen to us." said Annika.
"Maybe we should try something." said Diana. She motioned to the other Lions and they roared frightening the kids. "Now that we have your attention maybe you will listen to us for a little while."
Helios' horn glowed again. The kids blinked a few times and then looked around. "Where are we? What were we doing?" Serena asked. She then saw what happened to everyone. "And what's going on?!"
"I can explain everything to you all." Helios said. All eyes were turned on him. "It may seem like your bodies and minds have changed, but in reality you are all the same age and species you were when whoever it was made you unconscious."
"Come again?" Mina asked. "What did Scorpio do to us?"
"He trapped your minds in his dream world; I came here by entering his dreams."
"I thought you could only enter beautiful dreams." Rini said.
"Have you ever heard of a lucid dreamer?"
"Yes." said Raye. "They have the ability to freely interact within their dreams and remember them after waking up."
"Scorpio takes it a step further. He is able to freely control what he dreams can change it according to his will, even while he is awake."
"So we are sleeping in the real world but dreaming in Scorpio's head?" asked Lita.
"Right, but I can get you out of here."
"I'm sorry but I can't let you." said a man who appeared out in midair. He had red eyes, black hair, arm mounted sword and shield and black wings coming from his back but what got everyone's attention was a horn that was a lot like Helios' when he didn't have the Golden Crystal. "It's been a long time Helios."
"Not long enough Baron!"
"You know this creep?!" said Rini.
"He was a candidate for becoming the Golden Crystal's guardian, but in the end I was chosen over him."
"It's not like I would have accepted it. Why did the humans of earth have rule over us Elysians, when we were the ones who took our planet to join our neighbors in the solar system?"
"So you joined forces with these villains because of your hatred of humans?!"
"I'm just working a job for Scorpio that's all."
"He's just a mercenary." said Amy.
"I prefer the term 'Warrior Merchant'."
"Everyone stays back!" said Helios. "I have to face him myself."
"PHANTOM RAPIER!"
Baron thrust his sword at Helios barely missing him.
"You used to react more quickly, your time as a guardian has weakened your skills."
"I was chosen because of my heart, not my power."
"You can't defeat me; I learned a few new tricks since we last met." Baron's body was surrounded by a black light and it changed into body armor with a facemask that had a sinister smile and a single crying eye painted on it. "Like my new look?"
"Looks aren't everything Baron!"
"This is about more than just looks!"
His sword glowed purple and he moved so quickly he left a pair of afterimages behind him.
"SUPER PHANTOM RAPIER!"
This time he plunged his sword through Helios up to the knuckle. Helios screamed in pain.
Rini had tears in her eyes. "HELIOS!"
"Sorry nothing personal." said Baron. "Well maybe a little." Helios fell from the blade of Baron's sword. "The job is done and therefore I must go." Baron's wings covered his body and he vanished in an explosion of black feathers.
Rini ran up to Helios. "You'll be ok, you just have to be."
"I'm afraid I won't." said Helios in a rasping voice. "My king you have to take the Golden Crystal now. I have but one request; that I would be reborn only when Rini is born in the future, I want to grow up with her."
"I will." said Darien.
"Thank you, don't worry Rini. I should be there when you get home ready to play whatever game we normally would..." Helios changed into a group of gold sparkles that flew into the sky leaving the Golden Crystal behind.
Rini concentrated hard and remembered how things had changed with her knowing Helios as a little boy. "Then I when I get back I'll be the princess and you can rescue me from the dragon."
As Darien went to pick up the Golden Crystal it glowed, floated in midair, went to Serena and merged with the Silver Crystal. The new crystal was pur white and was surrounded by locket with heart in a five pointed star, each point with two colors. The stone in Darien's ring changed from black to white and the other locket crystals and ring stones started to glow. "What is this?" Serena asked as the crystals and stones stopped glowing.
"None of you will ever find out!" said Scorpio as a transparent image appeared in the sky. "Now that the Elysian is gone none of you can escape my dream world!"
"We'll defeat you!" shouted Rini as each family gathered together.
"Not here. Here I am everywhere and everything! I control your fate!" At that moment a hole opened underneath each group and they fell through. After they all fell through Scorpio started laughing evilly.
