EPISODE 22: THE GRAND PRINCESS FLEECE OF STRENGTH

Everyone was worried for Usagi. ChibiUsa and Mamoru had came in and
ChibiUsa was told of what happened to Usagi. For a kid, ChibiUsa was
full of questions. Ami was checking on Usagi to see if she suffered
any injuries that she suffered when the brooch sparked and she
collapsed. ChibiUsa was worried and loved Usagi for being there for
her. She asked Ami, "Will she be okay?" ChibiUsa wondered. She had
never seen Usagi this bad before.

"I don't know ChibiUsa. I am very worried. If there is a Grand
Princess Fleece of Strength, I worry that it is going send Usagi on
a rampage if her strength returns." Ami replied in a tone of how she
felt for Usagi. Here was a teenage girl dealing with her teenage
years, fighting evil, dealing with out of this world nightmares, and
now this, being unconscious and unable to defend herself if it came
down to it.

"Well, I hope she gets better. I want do some fun things with her."

"Well, Small Lady, I don't know if Usagi would feel up to it if she
recovers. But, she does recover, I am sure she would want to do
something fun with you."

"Okay, Ami. Thanks!" ChibiUsa told Ami as she turned to go outside.
Mamoru walked up to Ami.

"How is she?" he asked.

"She hasn't changed since she was brought in here."

"Have you administered any medicine to help her recover?"

"You know what happened the last time we did that?"

"Yeah, she woke up in seizures." Nitara walked in from outside and
joined the conversation. "My friends, since Crystallina and Usagi
will one day be one person. I thought I should I tell you why Usagi
has developed allergies against human medicine is because Crystallina
is a Celestial Being and it affects her greatly and so, it is
affecting Usagi too." Nitara explained the situation. Mamoru and Ami
stood there in awe. One of the mysteries had been solved.

Usagi still lay quietly on the bed in the guestroom unconscious and
her brooch still sparked a bit and Usagi was still unable to wake up
or transform into Crystal Sailor Moon at all. She was completely
helpless. Rei looked at the poor unconscious girl and had a deep love
for the girl. She felt remorse for her. So many troubles and problems
that had led her to be unconscious girl and unable to do anything at
all. Sarah suddenly left to meditate quietly. Rei continued to think
of ways to help Usagi out, but she thought of none and thought only
of her. But as Rei stood there looking at her sleeping friend, Minako
and Makoto ran into the room.

"We have trouble! The Ice Titan is confident that Usagi is out of the
way that, he has launched a Youma attack!"

Makoto reported. Rei looked at Usagi and she didn't want to leave her
alone. Rei turned to join the others and fight the Youma, however a
hand stopped her dead in her tracks. Rei turned around to see Usagi
barely awake and tears flowing silently in fear of the unknown and
speaking to Rei saying, "Don't go!" Usagi spoke to Rei in the first
time in a few days. Usagi continued to look at Rei intently wondering
if Rei would abandon her. "Don't go! Don't leave me alone! Don't go!"
Usagi continued her desperate tone. Her tears shone sadness and
worry, since she was unable to move since she lost all her strength
at the end of the last battle. Makoto looked at Usagi and then at
Rei and spoke to her, "It would please her if you stayed Rei. It
will help her feel more secure." Makoto suggested. Rei continued
to study Usagi face and decided to stay knowing how important Usagi
was to her.

"Okay, I will stay."

Rei said reluctantly. Rei wanted to pay back to the Youma who caused
Usagi's injuries and left her in her current state. "Thank you Rei...
I am happy, knowing that I won't be unprotected... Thank you..."
Usagi spoke as she drifted into unconsciousness. Rei sat in the
chair in silence thinking of the recent events that happened to Usagi.
She could do nothing to stop the events that occurred. Then a white flash
hit and Usagi and Rei were transported into Princess Crystallina's
White Room!

"Where am I?" Rei thought as she tried to figure where she was.

"I brought you both of you here. I am the cause of Princess Serenity's
affliction and misery. My name is Princess Crystallina." Princess
Crystallina spoke as she walked to where Usagi lay on the stony white
floor of the White Room. Princess Crystallina looked distressed as she
tried to figured what happened recently.

"I can't feel her anymore! I wondered what happened?" Princess
Crystallina questioned. Rei spoke quietly.

"The Ice Titan sent monsters to test Usagi's strength and in the end
Usagi was overwhelmed, her powers were depleted and her will to stay
awake has gone. I have been with her ever since she was brought
to my home."

Rei explained the recent events. Princess Crystallina looked very
shocked and fearful over what Rei just had said.

"Lady Rei, the Ice Titan is a twisted villain of the master Krun
Bruikas! He will seek out Princess Serenity and defeat her at all
costs no matter how long it takes him! Please Lady Rei, I beg of
you to protect Princess Serenity. This is your solemn duty as a
Soldier to never give her up to the forces of the Ice Titan! If
she is captured it could spell disaster for all of us! Farewell!"

Princess Crystallina spoke a word of warning concerning Usagi and
in a flash, Rei and Usagi was back in the guest room. Then suddenly
Morgoth and Belogore appeared out of nowhere and attacked Rei and
blasted her and sent her flying and she hit the wall and was badly
hurt. Morgoth captured the sleeping Usagi. He held her in her arms.
He spoke.

"My master says that if you want her back please meet with him in
the stone quarry tomorrow at noon and there you face your greatest
challenge by defeating his whole monster army! The prize, you get
Usagi back! And if not Usagi will be his prisoner forever!"

Morgoth spoke and then both villains vanished. Rei looked terrified
at the thought of Usagi being captured. Rei gathered her strength
and got up and ran to where the others were fighting.

"We have trouble! Your fight was a cover up for the real plot!
Morgoth and Belogore has taken Usagi captive and we must meet
them at the stone quarry at noon!"

The words of Rei hit Crystal Sailor Destiny like a ton of bricks.

"We must get her back as soon as possible or Usagi will be history
and Princess Crystallina will die!"

TO BE CONTINUED...

Next time on Crystal Princess, King Solace grants Usagi with the
Grand Princess Fleece of Strength but as Usagi awakes in a grumpy
rage which activates the secret powers of the fleece! Will Usagi
go on a rampage? Find out on the next Crystal Princess!
