Chapter 9- Rebirth of the Nega MoonRini sat on her bed with her gray kitten, Diana. Diana was the daughter of Luna and Artemis and Rini's guardian.
"Diana, do you think Ana's prediction will come true?" asked Rini questionly.
"I'm not sure, Small Lady," replied Diana, "Ana does have the reputation of being correct with her predictions."
"So you're saying yes?"
No answer. Rini rolled over and saw that Diana was asleep. She gently picked up the kitten and put her in her basket.
She sat once again on her bed and closed her eyes, thinking back to Ana's prediction.
"Some of the greatest foes known to Crystal Tokyo will arise once again. Bound together by the Great Queen of Darkness, Nyx they will be under her control. But there is a chance for hope. The Planetary Knight must unite, a wing horse must be set free, three warriors of the stars must find their princess, eight generals must join the battle for good and the planets' powers must be reused. Follow this path and the new kingdom will be rebuilt and nine queens will be crowned."
Rini was about to go to sleep when she heard a bell ring. She snapped open her eyes to see the Crystal Bell gentle trying to ring. Rini stared at it for a few seconds and then stood up and walked over to it.
That last time she had used it was when the Dead Moon Circus had kidnapped Helios and she had to call upon him so Super Sailor Moon could use his power to attack. She hadn't seen him for a long time, but why was the bell ringing now?
Rini held up the bell. Maybe I should try using the bell's power, she thought.
Rini raised the bell above her head, "Crystal Twinkle Bell!" she shouted ringing the bell.
It sounded and suddenly an illusion of a winged horse appeared. Rini gasped.
"Helios?" she stammered in surprise as she stared at the white, winged horse.
"Maiden," he replied, "Sailor Mini Moon."
"I'm so glad to see you again," said Rini happily, "But why are you in your horse form?"
"Maiden, I have been imprisoned once again," replied Helios sadly.
"By who!?" demanded Rini angrily.
"Queen Nyx," replied Helios.
"Who's that? I've never heard of her."
"She is evil and has brought back some enemies of the Princess and Prince," replied Helios, "She captured me also and turn Elysion back into the dark place it was when Neherenia had tried to find the Golden Crystal. Now she has brought back eight powerful warriors and put them under her control."
Rini gasped, "But how are we suppose to defeat them?"
"The last time I saw you, maiden," said Helios, "You were with Super Sailor Moon. And now that I see you, I know you are a leader of a team."
A surprised looked appeared on Rini's face. Helios was right. The Mini Scouts could do this.
"Helios-" started Rini, but then Helios interrupted.
"Maiden, hurry," he said, face full of fear, "The enemy is here."
Minnie's Room:
Ana sat in a big, overstuffed chair reading a book. Tonight had been some night. First the Nega monsters, Sailor Mini Moon appearing, and then her vision of the future.
"Man, this is way much more exciting than at home," she said aloud.
Suddenly a man appeared in her room, he had wavy red hair, wore a dark vest and green trousers tucked into his knee high boots. A black upside down crescent moon was on his forehead. A wicked smile crossed his face as he saw Ana.
"Well, well Birdie, so this is your new identity. You're now the daughter of a Queen. Impressive, but I hold your destiny now, you belong to the Nega Moon!" said the man.
Ana screamed and tried to scramble away, "My name is Rubeus, get used to it kid, you work for me now!" Rubeus pointed at her, "Power of the Nega Moon, absorb this one and make her serve us!"
Black energy swirled around Ana and absorbed into her. Light flashed and instead of Ana, a white haired woman, stood in her place, "Birdie's back and ready to fight! Who choose this outfit, I wear nothing but top fashion!"
Birdie gestured with one hand and now wore her blue leotard and tall boots. She gestures again and now her hair was in a braid, with the braid across her forehead, below her braid the black reversed moon sign appeared.
Rubeus laughed, "You haven't changed. Now your heart is solid ice to match your power!"
"Now, Birdie," said Rubeus crossing his arms, "Its time to transform the other princesses into their true forms, your sisters!"
Birdie smiled wickedly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of them."
She teleported out of the room. Rubeus smiled. Queen Nyx would be please with his accomplishment.
Birdie stood in a tree watching Phoebe sit and type on her computer.
"Catsy," she said quietly, "So this is your new form. I guess its time to come back."
She jumped down from the tree and landed in front of the very surprise Phoebe. Before Phoebe could say a word or transform, Birdie held up her hand, trapping the girl in ice.
Birdie turned to Phoebe, encased in the giant ice crystal.
Birdie smiled, "Dearest Sister, you've been reborn Catsy, the Nega Moon sister of black fire. I hope you keep up your talent of beauty, you also were the pretty one dear sister. Welcome back to the Nega Family!"
Birdie released a blast of Negaverse energy at Phoebe. The Ice crystal blasted away from Phoebe's body, slowly Phoebe's black hair gained length and became curly and deep violet. Her purple eyes deepened to a darker purple. The miniature reversed black moon sign appeared on her forehead,
"Heh! I'm back! Birdie! Sister how goes the conquest?" said Catsy with a grin.
Birdie shrugged, "Oh, Rubeus brought me back. He's now working for some lady, name Nyx. It seems like the whole Nega Moon is working for her."
Catsy smiled, "Rubeus is here? I can't wait to see him."
Birdie motioned. "Hurry, we've got to find Avery and Prisma, before the ones that live here discover us!" Avery nodded.
A few moments later…
Minnie and Leda walked into the garden. Minnie was trying to convince Leda to do something, but Leda wouldn't.
Catsy grinned as she watched the two argue, "So Birdie, these are our Sisters? Oh dear!"
Birdie nodded, "Avery and Prisma were very close."
Catsy shivered, " We'd better get them back!"
Birdie nodded and grinned, "Nega Power! Catsy!" a crash of ice water encased Minnie in a crystal, like the one that had trapped Phoebe. Leda spun around and shouted "Jupiter Prism Power!"
Sailor Jupiter faced off with her two "Sisters." Catsy used her black fire and hit Sailor Jupiter, "Nega Power!"
Birdie let loose with a blast of Negative energy, the entire shebang was absorbed into Minnie's body. Slowly Minnie and Leda mutated into older versions of themselves, Minnie's shoulder length blonde hair became a rich mahogany brown. Her blue eyes deepened to a brown matching her hair, and Leda's deep brown hair became dark green. Casty shook her head and said, "Somehow Avery absorbed all the energy of that blast!"
Birdie shrugged, "Well Prisma is back, so I guess she needed less than we thought."
Casty shrugged. Together they all disappeared and transported to Rubeus's waiting ship.
Rini ran through the gardens and arrived just in time to see the four Nega Moon sisters disappear. She gasped in horror at what she had just saw. Helios neighed softly and disappeared. Rini turned in surprise and saw that he was gone.
"I've got to tell Mama about this," she thought running back toward the palace.
In the throne room:
Neo-Queen Serenity sat on her throne with four girls kneeling in front of her. They were all dressed in uniforms. Rini rushed into the room with Diana and Luna P following at her heels.
"Mother! Mother!" shouted Rini running in and interrupting the conversation.
Rini ran up to the throne, "They're gone! He took them! I was too late!"
"Sshh, Rini," said Neo-Queen Serenity, trying to calm down her daughter, "Small Lady, what's wrong?"
Rini took a deep breath and told her mother about the bell ringing, Helios's appearing, about Queen Nyx, Rubeus returning, the Mini Scouts becoming the Nega Moon sisters, and them disappearing.
Neo-Queen Serenity thought for a moment, "They must have gone back into the past like before."
"Then I have to go back in the past and save them!" said Rini.
Neo-Queen Serenity looked at her daughter, "I can't let you go into the past by your self."
"Mother, I'm cable of fighting by myself," protested Rini.
Before Neo-Queen Serenity could answer, one of the four girls interrupt, "We'll go with her, your majesty. Its our duty as scouts to help the Princess fight."
The girls who had spoken were about 15, had short, sporty dark green hair and matching dark green eyes. Another girl had wavy, shoulder length black hair, dark purple eyes. There were two other girls standing by her, one had short, straight chin length aquamarine colored hair and blue eyes. Her friend had long dirty blonde hair that was done in a single bun on the back of her head and she had sparkling dark blue eyes.
"We will go back into the past with, Small Lady," said the girl with black hair, "For we too are scouts."
She held up a purple brooch with a symbol engraved in lighter purple. Three other girls also held up brooches too.
"Saturn Prism Power!" shouted the black haired girl.
"Pluto Prism Power!" shouted the green haired girl.
"Neptune Prism Power!" shouted the aquamarine haired girl.
"Uranus Prism Power!" shouted the blonde haired girl.
Each girl's uniform disappeared and a sailor suit took its place. Sailor Mini Saturn, Pluto, Neptune and Uranus stood there. Rini gasped, "I didn't know you were scouts!"
"Rini, don't you recognized them?" asked Neo-Queen Serenity, "Its Princess Hope (Sailor Mini Saturn), Terri (Sailor Mini Pluto), Shelly (Sailor Mini Neptune, and Hallie (Sailor Mini Uranus)."
Rini blinked for a second in surprise. She remembered them for a long time ago. The last time she had seen them was before she left for the past after gaining her scout powers.
Rini held up her brooch to transform, "Moon Crisis Power!"
Standing in Rini's place was Super Sailor Mini Moon. Sailor Mini Pluto took out a silver key and handed it to Super Sailor Mini Moon.
"You have more experience with this than I do," she said with a sheepish grin.
Sailor Mini Moon nodded and took the key. She raised it above her head and was about to shout out the word when two figures burst into the room. It was Aura and Irene.
"Wait!" shouted Aura.
The scouts and Neo-Queen Serenity turned around in surprise.
"Who are you?" asked Neptune in a suspicious tone.
Aura and Irene nodded to each other. Two ear mikes appeared on their ears.
"Eros Star Power!" shouted Aura as she began to transform.
"Iris Star Power!" shouted Irene as her transformation began.
A flash of light blinded the scouts and Serenity as two scouts appeared.
As if to sense all the questions of the Mini Scouts and Serenity, the two scouts spoke.
"I am the soldier of the stars and scout of the dawn, Sailor Star Eos," stated Star Eos.
"I am the soldier of the stars and scout of rainbows, Sailor Star Iris," stated Star Iris.
Neo-Queen Serenity gaped for a moment and then closed her mouth.
"Do you know a team of scouts call the Sailor Starlights?" she asked.
"Yes, we know them quite well," said Star Iris with a smile, "But that's not the reason we can here."
"We must find our princess and another team member. So freak from the Negaverse tried to kill out princess so they could take her crystal away, but she and another member of our team manage to escape," explained Star Eos, "We're pretty sure they're in the past."
Neo-Queen Serenity studied the two girls for a second. They seem so familiar to her, but where had she seen them before?
Finally after an award moment of silence, Serenity nodded.
"You may go back with the Mini Scouts to the past," she said watching the two scouts faces break into smiles, "I trust you both."
"Well, than welcome to the team," said Uranus with a smile.
"Maybe we should get going," said Saturn.
Mini Moon nodded and raised her time key.
"Oh yes, Small Lady," said Neo-Queen Serenity, "This time please don't land on my head again."
A sweat drop appeared on the back of the heads of all the scouts.
"Okay," replied Mini Moon, "Crystal Key, take us back into the past!"
Neo-Queen Serenity watched her daughter, the four outer Mini Scouts and two star scouts, plus Diana and Luna P disappear and headed to the past. She closed her eyes and drifted into a deep thought.
Meanwhile:
Birdie frowned in frustration a the chess board, "A hah! Check mate!" the droid in front of her sighed, "You win again Birdie."
"Birdie, Rubeus says to get ready, we've going to the past," said a droid walking over.
Birdie sighed, "Oh very well, tell the other Droids in my service to prepare. It's going to be a bumpy night!" A droid bowed and left.
Birdie teleported herself to the mirror room.
"Ready girls?" Prisma sighed, "I hope Old Tokyo has some good shopping, this could get very dull!"
Avery sighed in exasperation, "Prisma! You know we have work to do!"
Before Prisma cold answer Rubeus appeared, "Now, now, sisters shouldn't quarrel!" With a flick of his hair Rubeus activated the power amplifier and sent them careening through space.
