EPISODE 231: THE SHALIKAR

The power of the Legendary Soldier was gone and Usagi was in bad shape. She was unable
to wake up due to her lifeforce energy being drained by the Eternal Crystals which was the
essence of Princess Celina. Nitara Nori and Ami Mizuno watched over Usagi as well as the others.
Tsuki Usagi's second feline guardian wasn't affected at all. Both Luna and Tsuki watched over Usagi
and felt bad that Usagi couldn't do anything for herself.

"My maiden has been in tougher spots."

Nitara recalled that Usagi had been in tougher situations like Usagi had been previously banished from the
world that she loved and thanks to Princess Icerina (now known as Princess Sunrina), Usagi was able to return
from Banishment and to defeat the evil. Not too long later, the Elemental King himself appeared in Usagi's room
and spoke Nitara and the others.

"Guardians of the Princess. Be it known to you, that the soul of the Princess must undergo the Shalikar in order
for her lifeforce energy to be restored as new and know this that she will be immune to the Eternal Crystals hereafter
and if she is successful with the Shalikar, she will awaken in a few days fully restored and I will call for her to apper
before me and I will give her an offer that I think she will accept. Until next time my friends... farewell."

The Elemental King explained to Nitara and the others that Usagi would have to undergo the Shalikar and that Usagi
would be immune from the draining of the Eternal Crystals. Not only that, the Elemental King also explained that he would
make an offer to Usagi personally once she awoke from her unconscious state.

Time past and midnight came and the Cosmicstar Crystal glowed slightly and the soul of Usagi which was known as Celestial
Moone came out and Nitara, Ami and the others saw her and Celestial Moone spoke to them.

"I must perform the Shalikar in order to have new powers. You may not interfere! You all should remain inside the palace for your
safety.."

Celestial Moone spoke to everyone in the room and Celestial Moone walked out of the room and out of the palace and went
down the street where the Shalikar was to take place and when she got there, the Elemental King awaited her.

"So you made it here, the spirit of Cosmicstar. Are you ready for the Shalikar? As you know, no spirit of a Celestial Being has ever
survived a Shalikar Ceremony, but if you succeed, you'll be the first to gain such power and you'll be feared as the great soldier and
warrior. Are you ready?"

The Elemental King himself welcomed the spirit of Usagi and explained that no Celestial Being had survived the Shalikar ceremony
and if Celestial Moone did happen to survive the ceremony, that she would be a strong soldier and warrior and also greatly feared.
The Elemental King asked if she was ready.

"I am."

Celestial Moone gave her reply that she indeed was ready.

"Then let the Shalikar begin!"

The Elemental King stated that the Shalikar Ceremony was to begin.

"I am the spirit of the Earth. I give my gift of the Powers of the Earth. They are: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Heart. If you can absorb
powers, the next test will begin! Commence Shalikar of Earth Powers!"

The first of the powers had begun, Celestial Moone struggled to take it in. It was the easiest of all five powers, but still she struggled.
After a few minutes, she overcame the struggle and won the first test. Then the Moon Spirit spoke next.

"Congratulations! You won the first test. Now for you to receive the Powers of the Moon, both the powers of Light and the Darkness. This
test will be more difficult to complete, but if you win this test, you'll proceed to the next test! Now to continue! Commence Shalikar of the Moon Powers!"

The second test begun with more difficulty than what the first test had. It was far more difficult. Now Celestial Moone had to deal with powers of both Light and Darkness. The Darkness Powers had proved itself as a worthy adversary, but within a few minutes, Celestial Moone was able to overcome the Powers of Light and Darkness of the Moon. The Next Spirit spoke.

"Congratulations! You completed the second test! You are a daughter of the Sun Kingdom as well as the daughter of the kingdoms of all the Moons in the universe. If you are worthy of this Power, the power of the Sun. Both Light and Darkness of the Sun, it will be granted to you if you can absorb this power. ready? Let's continue! Shalikar of the Sun: The Powers of Light and Darkness of the Sun!"

Now Celestial Moone faced an even harder test. Now she'll be facing powers of the scorching sun. Even hotter than the Powers of the Moon. Celestial Moone continued to struggle to receive the Powers of the Sun. The Elemental Council watched with great awe as Celestial Moone tried to absorb this power. It looked like she would fail to absorb this power, but at the last moment, she surprised them and absorbed this power too! The next spirit the Time Lord Spoke.

"Congratulations! You completed test three! Never show any sign of weakness! You are wonderful! This Test will be granted the Powers of Time itself! If you absorb this power, you will be able to travel in time to witness any event or stop evil from this time from affecting places in the past. This power will not weaken your powers once you reach your destination. Now commence Shalikar of Time!"

This was test four. Celestial Moone has now gone too far to quit or turn back now. She began receiving the Powers of time itself. Both Dark and Light versions of Time. It seemed forever for the powers to find some way of absorbing inside the spirit of Celestial Moone, but Celestial Moone finally achieved in receiving the Powers of Time! The last tester, The Universal Spirit spoke next.

"Congratulations! The forth test is complete! Here is the last test! The receiving the Powers of the Universe! If you absorb this power, you can travel to other planets, but there will always be weaknesses that you'll experience from this, plus others can go with you. Also you can gain the Cosmic Powers of the Universe! Now commence Shalikar of the Universe!"

The Universal Spirit spoke to Celestial Moone and explained about the Universal Spirit explained the abilities of traveling to other planets and he explained that Celestial Moone may take others with her. The next part of the Shalikar Ceremony was about to begin.

"Oh boy."

Celestial Moone answered the Universal Spirit.

The fifth power begun. It was the most difficult of all! For a while it proved to be a worthy adversary to Celestial Moone. She didn't know how to take this power in, because it was different than the other four. So after twenty minutes of struggling she finally overcame the power and absorbed it! The Elemental King smiled with sheer pleasure of the result. This spirit full of life and strength would not give up over a struggle no matter how difficult it looked! He spoke to her.

"Congratulations! You beat test five! You have all five powers! But the real test is can you overcome the power overload that your spiritual body had received. Let's wait a few moments to find out!"

So they waited a few minutes as the five powers of the Shalikar mingled together to form a light pink energy which seemed to reflect the spirit of happiness which Celestial Moone had within her. The Powers had settled down to its new home. The Elemental King spoke up.

"Celestial Moone! You won the Shalikar! The power overload has gone away with the united powers ready to be used! Now return to your body to restore the lifeforce energy which is vital for your survival. Once you have returned to your body, your body will be fully restored with lifeforce energy and you will stand before me soon. Farewell spirit of the Princess."

Celestial Moone vanished from the Elemental Council's sight and returned to the Crystal Moon Palace and Kunzite and Zoicite saw the spirit of the princess and she glowed a furious glow and it was a beautiful shine. Celestial Moone entered the palace and returned to the private chambers of Mamoru and Usagi where Nitara Nori Ami and the others were waiting.

"Hey! Look! The spirit of my maiden has returned! Look at her! She glows!"

Nitara Nori was overjoyed and ecstatic over the spirit of Usagi returning from the Shalikar ceremony and Celestial Moone went back to the body of Usagi and the body of Usagi and the Cosmicstar Crystal glowed and new lifeforce energy had flooded Usagi's body and after a few minutes, everything returned to normal and the Cosmicstar Crystal continued to transfer the lifeforce energy as it had done in the past. Soon, Usagi herself would meet the Elemental King and he would offer her a new Soldier's Power that he personally had collected from across the universe. But, would Usagi accept this offer? Find out next time on Crystal Princess Mega!

Next on Crystal Princess Mega, Usagi awakens to see the Royal Historian himself Trogg the Gnome watching over Usagi and soon after Usagi is teleported to the Elemental Council and the Elemental King would make her an offer but will Usagi accept? Find out next time on Crystal Princess Mega!
