"NeoMoon Star 2: The Jewel Staff Saga"
Chapter 6: "Enter the NeoMoon Queen"

"Jessi, help me!" Brandy yelled. "Let go of me, Ni-"

Nicholas disappeared into the shadows but not after saying, "NeoMoon Star, NeoMoon Crystal, if you want the girl back, you'll have to get her to give me the Jewel Staff. That's all I want from her. Until we meet again."

Jessi growled and Meg held her back, "No, Jessi. I know you want to save her, but no doubt Nicholas is expecting us. Don't you think he has traps set for us?"

"I guess you're right. But we can't just sit here and do nothing!"

Amber walked beside Jessi, "The only thing that can save her now is the Jewel Staff. Nicholas is way too strong for either you or Crystal to take on."

-scene change-

Nicholas landed on the ground, with Brandy in his grip. He threw her down on the grass, "Now let's get this straight, girl. You can give me the Jewel Staff now or I can beat it out of you."

Brandy hesitated to answer, "You'll have to beat me because I don't know how to summon it and even if I did, I wouldn't let you have it!"

Nicholas slapped her, "Be quiet! All you have to do is give me the Jewel Staff!"

"Never!" was all she said.

-scene change-

Sapphire said, "I think I know where he took her. I can... hear her calling to me. They're in the Dark Prairie but I don't know how to get there."

"I do." The voice was soft and low. "The Dark Prairie is opposite the Field of Dreams. Sapphire, you know the way, you just don't know you do."

"How'd you know my name?" Sapphire barked.

Meg gasped, "I recognize that voice. It's... the NeoMoon Queen!"

"Where's it coming from? Where is she?" Jessi asked.

"I'm right here, Jessi." The Queen spoke again.

Sapphire gasped, "It's Brandy's mom! It's coming from Brandy's mom!"

The group ran to Rachel.

She was standing up, as if nothing had happened to her a short while before. The woman smiled, "Yes, I imagine you're surprised to see that Rachel is the NeoMoon Queen. But it is true."

"But how could we not have known? I mean..." Jessi dragged her sentence.

Rachel said, "When I created the Jewel Staff, I knew it wasn't Jessi who was destined to have it. I didn't who but I knew it was someone else."

"Then why'd you give it to me?" Meg asked her.

"As soon as I gave it to you I felt it was destined for another girl. That's when I came to Neopia and started to become a Neopian. After I gave birth to Brandy, I then knew about who the Staff belonged to. The Jewel Staff found its way to her eventually." She saw the look on Jessi's face, "Yes, I am Brandy's mother. And yes... Brandy is the NeoMoon Princess."

"What?!?"

-scene change-

"I'll never... give you the Jewel Staff... I don't know... why it's so important but I know... it wasn't meant for you!"

Nicholas growled.

-scene change-

Meg nodded, "Then Brandy's definitely the last one."

Rachel comfirmed it with a smile. She stretched a hand out and it glowed a bright yellow. A small warp hole appeared in the wind, "Here's the way to the Dark Prairie. You must rescue Brandy. She's the only hope to defeat Nicholas."

As they walked toward the warp hole, Sapphire looked back, "Rachel... aren't you coming?"

Rachel shook her head, "No, I would love to but I can't."

"Why not?" Jessi screamed in anger, "You're just going to let your daughter - may I mention she's the princess - die at the hands of Nicholas?"

Rachel laughed, "Of course not, Jessi. If I went with you, then Brandy would not realize her destiny. I will explain once you return. Now, go!"

With her final words, Rachel pushed Meg, Ruby, Jessi, Amber and Sapphire into the warp hole.

And this... was going to be an adventure they would never forget.

Also, a note: Brandy being the NeoMoon Princess is NOT the "she" that's being mentioned in the story.
