Chapter Eighteen

ChibiJupiter opened her eyes. "Wait a minute! Didn't I. . .Princess Serenity!" ChibiJupiter saw her body. Oh my God! ChibiJupiter buried her face in her hands. I failed my queen.
Then, ChibiJupiter saw a bright light. She looked down and saw that instead of the green button on her front bow, it was Sailor Moon's open brooch.
Princess Rona, I was unable to stop Queen Maddy. It is up to you to defeat her. You now control the Silver Crystal. Remember, it follows your heart.
"Right, Princess. I won't let you down."
At that moment, ChibiJupiter heard footsteps. "Jupiter Lighting. . ."
Sailor Venus turned the corner. "Whoa! Friend!"
"Sailor Venus-sama! Where are Neo-Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter?" Please. . .
"Rini ran off and Lita fell through a trap door. I couldn't save her." Venus's eyes dropped with shame.
Tears formed in ChibiJupiter's as well, but she tried to ignore them. "Hey, don't worry. We'll bring them back."
Venus nodded. Then she saw Moon. "Oh, my God! What the hell happened to her?"
"Well, Maddy showed up and tried to kill her. I pushed her out of the way. I thought I died. . ."
A blood-curdling scream echoed the darkness. "Small Lady!" said ChibiJupiter
They ran towards the sound. They peaked around the corner and saw a troop of youmas over Small Lady's dead body. The youma immediately spotted them.
"Run!" yelled Venus. ChibiJupiter was not about to argue.
"Venus Crescent Beam!"
"Jupiter Lighting Strike!"
"Rolling Heart Vibration!"
"Jupiter Lighting Tiara Magic!"
"Venus Love Chain Encircle! Venus Meteor Shower!"
"What are we going to do? Nothing's slowing them down!"
"Since you have the Silver Crystal, go on! I'll stay behind!"
"Are you sure?"
"GO!"
ChibiJupiter picked up the pace.
"Venus Love Chain Encircle! . . .Rolling Heart Vibration! . . .Sailor V Kick!. . .Venus Meteor Sh. . .!"
After about ten minutes, ChibiJupiter slowed down, sat down, and just balled. I am so scared. I am so alone. I will never see my friends again. . . Wait. "Maybe this was supposed to happen. When Sailor Mars was killed, CM should have just faded out. But she was still there. Same thing with CG and me. Our mothers died and we are still here. That means. . ."
Her hope and self-esteem quickly came back. But then she sensed something. "CV?"

CV coughed up some more blood. Donny held her hand. "How are you feeling?"
"It's weird. I feel okay," said CV. "Donny, I just want to tell you that I really love you."
"I wish we could have spent more time together. I'm sorry I joined Queen Maddy." Donny had tears in his eyes, but he smiled.
CV nodded. "I forgive you." Then she closed her eyes. "Thank you for taking care of me, Sammy. Sorry I wasn't able to join you. . ."
Donny let the waterworks loose. "It's not far! It is just not fair!"
Sammy put his hand on Donny's back. Donny gave Sammy a big hug. Then he held CV's hand. "I guess I'll see you in the future," he said.
"I guess you will," said Sammy.
CV disappeared, followed by Donny.
Sammy started home. He was worried over Serena and the others. "I know I made fun her, but I would take back everything if it would bring her back safe."

"NOOOOO!!!! CV! You can't be gone, too!" ChibiJupiter was the only one left. I have to stay alive. For the planet's sake. For the future's sake. And for my own sake.
A girl ran through a dark tunnel. She had a ponytail and a short skirt.
ChibiJupiter then found herself in another room. The girl entered and looked up. ChibiJupiter looked over her shoulder just as a blast of energy headed towards her. She went to defend herself, but it passed right through her and hit the other girl. "Moon Crystal Power!" But she didn't look like Serena or Small Lady.
When the dust settled, the girl was lying on the ground. A light exposed her forehead to reveal a tiara. She was a Sailor Senshi, and from what ChibiJupiter remembered from her training, a Senshi's Planetary Symbol should be under her tiara. She reached for it. . . and saw a green four.

She gasped. That's. . ."That's me! It was trying to warn me! I have to get rid of Maddy!"
That was when she noticed the door. This is it! No turning back!
ChibiJupiter stopped at the door of the dark room. She took a deep breath. She had to. her knees kept knocking.
"Well, well, well. You survived after all!" called out a voice.
"Queen Maddy, I presume?"
"You presume correctly. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"If it means that I can get rid of something evil, I will. But are you sure you want to do this?" ChibiJupiter asked.
Maddy growled, "I want to rule this universe and get revenge for my sister's death! How dare you ask me that? I should have killed you when I had the chance! Now, I get another. Take this!" She smiled as the rocks and dust flew. "This world, and soon this universe, is mine!"
"I don't think so, witch!"
"WHAT?!?!?!?!?"
There she was, not as Sailor ChibiJupiter, but as Neo-Sailor Jupiter. Moon's brooch was no longer attached to her front bow, but it didn't matter; she held the Silver Crystal in her hands. Power like none she had felt before flowed thorough her veins. She raised the Crystal above her head. "Moon Crystal. . .POWER!!!"

Here I'm standing in the night

"I will. . .fight this evil!" she cried as she placed it in front. The battle had begun.

My Crescent Wand, the only light
Alone against my darkest fear,
But I sense my friends are near,
I'll draw from each the power I need,

"I will not lose to you, you witch!"

Evil Queen we will defeat!
Give me the strength to carry on

"Hey, CJ. You are a wonderful person and a terrific leader. Let me help you with this fight!" said CM.

With all our love we can't go wrong,

"You can't have all the glory. Let me help, or I will never speak to you ever again!" said CM.

Only together we face the fight,

"Yeah! Let us help you. Still too many pranks we have to play," said Small Lady as she gave me a thumbs up.

Nothing can stand against our might!

"Let me help. We have known each other too long to let it end now," said a sad CV, hair blowing in the wind.

"I do need all of you. Please, minna. Lend me your strength."
One by one, her friends' sprits came to her aid. "Venus Power!"
"Moon Crystal Power!"
"Mars Power!"
"Mercury Power!"

Give me the strength to carry on,
With all our love we can't go wrong,

"Jupiter Power!"
All together, they yelled, "UNITE!!!"

Only together we face the fi-ight,
Nothing can stand against our might!
With all our strength the battle is won,
With all our love we can't so wrong,
We have the strength to carry on
