Ariel - Aoi Annika - Akaru Daisy - Mikomi Gloria - Meiyo Hope - Natsuki Faith - Kirio Maggie - Shinju Madelyn - Naosu So what do you think of them? I will have the list at the beginning of each story until everyone is used to the new names. I will be finishing out this series with the names you're all used too.
Come see my site at http://chibisenshi. I do not own Sailor Moon. I created the Chibi Senshi. I also did not create the Cosmic Senshi fuku. Ashley designed the fuku at http://yuninaoki. Chapter Eight: A Sudden Twist By Angel Raye
Minako woke to a splitting headache in Ami's office. She looked around blearily. "How did I get here?" she asked.
"Minako," Ami said quietly. "What's the last thing you remember"
"I was with Gloria in her room to get her henshin wand," Minako replied. "She asked me to straighten up a picture that was crooked. It wasn't. I felt something hit my head and then I woke up here." She saw Asai and Sachi both standing by the bed. "What's going on? Where's Gloria"
"Gloria was the imposter," Asai gently told her. "The imposter's the one who hit you on the head"
"When we realized that the imposter was Gloria, I came here with Uranus and Neptune," Ami added. "That's when we found you unconscious"
"Gloria," Minako gasped. "She's been captured by them"
"I'm afraid she has," Ami replied.
"But we're going to find her," Asai reassured her. "Rei and Annika are trying to locate her whereabouts via the fire and the rest of the Senshi are trying to come up with a rescue plan"
"I need to go help them," Minako murmured getting out of bed.
"You're not going anywhere for the next twenty-four hours," Ami firmly told her. "You've gotten a very bad blow to the head and I want to make sure that you don't have a concussion before I release you"
"My daughter is being held captive by the enemy and you want me to lay here in bed?" Minako protested.
"That's exactly what I want you to do," Ami replied. She softened her gaze, "Believe me I know what you're going through. My baby was held captive for a few days by an enemy and was tortured. I know you're feeling very helpless and worried sick right now. But you're not going to do Gloria any good right now with a possible head injury. We're going to do everything we can to get her back safely to you"
"And if you can't fight I'll go in your place," Asai promised.
Sachi looked a bit awkward, "I would but I'm not a Senshi or a knight"
"You do and you're grounded," Minako murmured weakly. As much as she wanted to disagree with Ami, she knew she couldn't. Ami, as usual, was right. She needed to recover if she wanted to save her daughter.
Gloria weakly opened her eyes. Her head was killing her. Dark Annika had been coming frequently and practicing her mind control techniques on her. Gloria's hair was matted with blood and she was sure her arm was broken.
She didn't know much of what was going on but she did know that her evil counterpart had returned last night. So at least now the Senshi knew she was missing. Gloria could only hope that they were planning a rescue mission.
"So you're finally awake," a soft voice broke into her thoughts. Gloria turned to see Dark Chibi Mars had come in. "Now I can practice some more"
"Please don't," Gloria pleaded as she felt her mind fill with Dark Chibi Mars's commands. Helplessness overcame her as she was flung against the wall.
Usagi waited patiently for the rest of her team to arrive at the gazebo. It was beautiful day in May but Usagi felt the gloominess everyone was feeling over Gloria's capture and the enemy. But she also felt a new determination. A member of her team and the next in line to command was in danger and she was going to do whatever it took to rescue her. So she called a secret meeting of the Cosmic/Chibi Senshi team. Most of the girls had arrived. Only Annika was missing. "Let's get started without her and fill her in," Faith griped.
"No we can't do that," Daisy protested. "Gloria's her vest friend. We'd hurt her if we had this meeting without her"
"Here she comes," Maggie exclaimed and sure enough Annika came running up to them. "Gomen-nasi," she panted. "But I had to get Mama to allow me to leave the fire room"
"Anything yet?" Usagi asked but Annika shook her head. "Then we need to try other means"
"Like what?" Hope demanded.
"Ariel's computer for one," Usagi replied. "And Annika has the strongest connection with her. Surely between those two we can track the enemy down"
"If anything they'll be waiting for us," Madelyn stated and everyone agreed.
"I say we go and rescue her ourselves," Daisy declared. "If it were one of us she would be the first go and rescue whoever that was"
"Agreed," Usagi told her. She looked at her team and pulled out her henshin broach, while they pulled out their henshin wands.

Lights, water, fire and more were seen as the younger Senshi completed their transformation. They were unaware that nearby Kimiko and little Mari were watching.
"Let's go," Cosmic Moon shouted.
"Right," the others replied and with a flash they were gone.
"It's magic," Mari squealed.
"Yes," Kimiko agreed. "I think we need to tell our mamas about this."
Gloria lay on the floor of the cell, writhing in pain and gasping for breath. Dark Chibi Mars hadn't shown her any mercy. Gloria couldn't hear anything but her evil laugh. "I'm through with you for the day," Dark Chibi Mars softly told her. "Besides your comrades are on their way to try and rescue you but I won't let them succeed. They're not ruining my fun. But I do promise you I will bring one of their bodies back as a trophy for you." With another evil laugh she left.
"Minna," Gloria gasped before she lost consciousness. "Be careful."
Serenity and Rei were both in Rei's office discussing what was going on when Ami and Hotaru both walked in looking very angry. "What's wrong?" Rei asked.
"Kimiko and Mari just came and told us that Cosmic Moon and the rest of the team have gone off to rescue Gloria," Hotaru replied.
"Against our wishes," Ami added.
"So that's where the little rascal went too," Rei exclaimed. "Annika left right after we attempted another fire reading"
"Minna," Serenity softly told them. "I have no doubt that my daughter probably came up with the idea but when were young what did we do if someone we cared about was in trouble"
"We'd go out and try to rescue that person," Ami admitted.
"I have faith in the children," Serenity pointed out. "We just have to believe that." The other Senshi nodded reluctantly in agreement. Serenity was right. This was the Cosmic and Chibi Senshi's battle.
Chibi Mercury had her visor on and her computer out. She was trying to track Gloria's life signs but she wasn't having any luck. Chibi Mars had a scroll out and was trying to pick up an evil presence. "They're near," she murmured.
"How near?" Cosmic Moon asked.
"Nearer than you want" a voice sneered. Everyone looked up and saw the Dark Chibi Senshi. Cosmic Jupiter and Cosmic Pluto were both glad to see that their counterparts were still Chibi Senshi.
"Where's Gloria?" Dark Chibi Neptune demanded.
"Oh don't worry about her,' Dark Cosmic Moon told her. "She's fine for now"
"What do you mean for now?" Chibi Mars demanded angrily.
"It means," said the haunting soft voice of Dark Chibi Mars. "That she might not be able to take much more of my practicing my new talents on her"
"You evil piece of trash," Cosmic Jupiter shouted. She powered up.
"JUPITER HAILSTORM!"
Her new attack flew toward Dark Chibi Mars but she only held up her hand and the attack flew back to Cosmic Jupiter who had to hastily scramble out of the way to avoid getting hit. "Don't just stand there you idiots," Dark Chibi Mars barked at her team. "Destroy them"
"With pleasure," Dark Cosmic Moon replied and she held up her sword and ran toward Cosmic Moon who yanked her scepter out. "SWORD OF DARKNESS!" Dark Cosmic Moon shouted as she lashed her sword at Cosmic Moon. Cosmic Moon didn't have a chance to get her attack ready. She had to dodge her counterpart's attack. Dark Cosmic Moon showed no mercy and kept lashing at Cosmic Moon who had to keep dodging out of the way. None of the others could help her. They were all too busy dodging their own evil counterparts. Chibi Mars was glad her mother trained her to block mind control because she was using it now. Her head was splitting with pain but she wouldn't let up for a minute.
"Let's see," Dark Chibi Venus stated. "My counterpart is in our prison. I guess I'll help Dark Cosmic Moon. We need to destroy their leader." She withdrew her sword and started slowly toward Cosmic Moon whose back was turned toward her.
Chibi Neptune dodged out of the way of her counterpart's attack. She looked up and saw Dark Chibi Venus creeping up behind Cosmic Moon. "Cosmic Moon, look out!" she shrieked. Cosmic Moon turned and saw Dark Chibi Venus. She jumped out of the way just as both Dark Cosmic Moon and Dark Chibi Venus brought their swords down, striking each other. Both of them screamed.
"You fools," shouted Dark Chibi Mars in rage, breaking her mind control attempt on Chibi Mars. Chibi Mars fell to the ground in relief. Cosmic Pluto ran to help her up. "You idiots," Dark Chibi Mars roared. "You're supposed to destroy them. Not each other"
"She dodged out of the way," Dark Chibi Venus gasped as she began to fade.
"Almost had her," Dark Cosmic Moon added, beginning to fade as well.
"We need you," Dark Chibi Neptune shouted. "You two are the strongest"
"Shut up!" Dark Chibi Mars screamed. "Retreat now! We'll take care of them later." The seven remaining Dark Chibi Senshi vanished leaving their dying comrades. Cosmic Moon dashed over to them. "We can help you if you tell us where Gloria is," she told them.
"No time to help," Dark Cosmic Moon weakly replied. She tossed something at Cosmic Moon. It was a small device. "This will take you to our lair"
"But you'll be in danger," Dark Chibi Venus added. "Don't go without a plan"
"We won't," Cosmic Moon promised as the Dark Senshi completely faded.
"They helped us in the end," Chibi Saturn exclaimed. "I wonder why"
"They must have seen how their comrades left them to die instead of helping them," Cosmic Moon replied. "Like all villains they don't care about each other, only their ultimate goal." She tossed the strange device to Chibi Mercury. "You and your mother will need to figure this out"
"We will," Chibi Mercury promised. "And then we will rescue Gloria"
"Then let's come up with a rescue operation," Chibi Mars declared. Everyone nodded and headed back to the palace.
To be continued.
