Chapter 12: Diamond Princess Ball! Third Rainbow Crystal Revealed!:
Demiyah went to class the next morning and found something amazing! Her teacher Kennedy WIllows came in and said, "Class, this is Hop Dande who will be joining us for the remainder of the Academic year. He lives with his big brother Leon and has active magic already. Hop you can sit next to Demiyah Oliver. Miss Oliver please raise your hand." Demiyah did what she was told and Hop sat next to her. Class went normally and during recess Demiyah walked up to Hop and asked, "How did you pull this off?" Hop looked around before saying, "Since I'm a Ranger active with the Sailor Scouts, Lee was able to convince the Rangers to let me attend school here. Unoffically back home Lee arranged for me to be taught by a private tutor to keep others from trying to steal my assignments. Mum was told mostly the truth and she was all for it. So was Gran and Gramps. Dad was looking into getting my former school to pay for the fiasco but gave his agreement too."
Hop sat with Demiyah, Denki, Takuya, and Tyson at lunch enjoying the food his mum packed for him. Sharing bites of food with his friends. Recess after lunch was fun and then came afternoon classes. Their teacher gave tem a test from what they learned earlier in the day and said, "If the whole class gets a minimum of 85% on this test during afternoon recess you'll be allowed to play on the Magical Playground." Which made everyone work their hardest. Even Hop who had never played on the Magical Playground before when he asked Demiyah what was. No one could fault him for that, since it was his first day and he had been in a civvie school before so they didn't have the means to have Magical Playgrounds since there were too many non powered kids there. Even though there were some, most civvie schools didn't like them. Although the school board never dared to voice that opinion in Ranger Cities or Cities with Active Heroes. Otherwise there would be a lawsuit like the one in 02 when a Highschool in a Ranger City tried to call Stryker on a student. The city was Silver Hills so Time Force Red, Time Force Quantam, and the Silver Guardians answered the terrified students call for help. The second the student heard the nurse ask the principal if she should use the illegal Mutant Cure or a Sedative to knock the student out the student in question stood saying she was on her period so she was going to use the bathroom and change her pad. She locked herself in the farthest bathroom from the office and called the Silver Guardians begging for help. She explained what she heard and stated there were security cameras where the nurse and principal were talking. Wes, Eric, and the Silver Guardians arrived not even seconds after that. Eric checking the cameras and arrested the nurse and Principal on the spot. The nurse openly calling kids with powers freaks and said she was glad the second that her own kids had shown powers she shipped them to Stryker. The principal sold off his kid with powers to the highest bidder!
Once they got to play in the Magical Playground it was their last class of the day. How to spot organizations who experiment on people with powers and what to do. It was known that some students were active or semi retired heroes. Their teacher knew that most kids started waking up more of their powers at this age. So it was decided by the Ranger Council to start instructing their students from Second Grade up what to look for and how to react.
Hop was waiting for Tommy to pick him, Demiyah, Denki, and Takuya up. Tyson's dad was sitting waiting for Tommy. Since scientists who were known to work for McKnight had been spotted lurking around the school for kids and teens to experiment on. The Black Ranger came up with the van. Something he normally wouldn't do unless there were more scientists than originally. It wasn't until Tommy said a known codephrase that the kids were all taken inside the school and the school locked down.
Mina was sitting in the Council Room with the others and said, "Easiest way to find them is to draw them out." Trista said, "I'm vetoing Demiyah going. I checked the Time Gate and Caroline's in their number. But I also got a location. A team already has been dispatched. We'll be hearing from them soon enough." Jason said, "For now, all students stay in the Rec Center. An announcement will come over the school intercom with the Phrase MorphCon Green as the All Clear. But ONLY if it's my voice, Trista's voice, or Tommy's voice. Anyone else stay where you are and do not let anyone in."
The students sat in Rec Center for over two hours but someone entered the building. It wasn't any of the Rangers or their allies. It was Zoicite and Caroline. Zoicite had a yellow crystal in her hand which made Demiyah pale. She found the third coorupted warrior. The question is, who was it? Caroline said, "Demiyah Oliver is to come with me. Or my friend here's monster will kill all of you." Demiyah had disguised herself with the Disguise Pen but was worried she would have to undo it and go to protect everyone. But who she thought she knew was Mina came to the front of the group. She used her Crescent Compact from her Sailor V days to disguise herself as Demiyah! The real Demiyah had to admit that was sneaky. Caroline was about to grab her when a bolt of electricity slammed into both Caroline and Zoicite. A flash of green appeared next to Zoicite and stole the crystal from her hand. Zoicite growled and summoned a feline monster that Demiyah knew was Kat. Caroline made a move for the fake Demiyah when the disguise dropped. It was Leon! Caroline sputtered, "An adult man?!" Leon smirked, "Got a present from a magical cat. Very useful it's been today. Oh and by the way." Leon tornado kicked Caroline knocking her out, "Don't mess with my baby sister!" Demiyah transformed and healed Kat.
That night, there were reports of a Princess who held an "Imperial Crystal" and she was holding a ball that night. Leon, Hop, Demiyah, Denki, Takuya, Tyson, Sharon, Rocky, Natsumi, Tommy, Kimberly, and Krista along with the Scouts were being sent by the Rangers to act as discreet security. The kids would be using disguise pens that Artemis made to look older. The pens would then be theirs to keep along with communicators that looked like a bluetooth earpiece since they were technically security. Tommy and Kimberly would be there as envoys of the Mystic Mother. The others would be a Ranger assigned Security Detail. The ball was in full swing when Luna and who they had been informed was Tuxedo Mask entered. Demiyah knew it was better to play the noblewoman out for an formal evening. Being a reincarnated Princess made it easy. Being around Leon and Hop gave her a slight Galarian accent. It wasn't quite an english accent and not quite scottish. It was more amix of both with a slight twinge of french with it being soft and smooth. With her looks, as she appeared nineteen years of age with light brown hair and sapphire eyes, and the accent in her voice she was able to walk by Luna and Tux Boy with them none the wiser! She was passing by the snack table when she heard them say, "If this Princess Diamond is the Moon Princess and her Imperial Crystal is indeed the Silver Crystal then all we have to do is put her under a spell to make her want to be your bride. After that, once an heir is within her and born we kill her and take the crystal to Master Diomedes. When we can do that he shall take over the Universe!" Darien chuckled, "Luna you are a genius." Demiyah smirked as she walked away having recorded the whole conversation. "Hook, Line, and Sinker! Idiots."
Luna once Princess Diamond was healed from the spell Zoicite put her under asked, "Excuse me miss are you the princess of the Moon, Princess Serenity?" Demiyah in her disguise said, "Ma'am, you and your accomplise are under arrest for harrassing a young woman! Come with me quietly. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." Luna and Darien were handcuffed and led away by members of the Silver Guardians. The rest of the evening was plesant and as a thank you from Princess Diamond, she allowed each member of the team who went undercover to pick a gemstone each from the chest of gems she had. Hop picked a Topaz, Leon picked a garnet, Denki chose an Emerald, Takuya chose a Ruby, Tommy picked an Onyx, Kimberly picked an Amethyst, Natsumi chose a Fire Opal, Sharon ended up choosing a Pink Spinel, and Rocky picked a Sapphire. Demiyah said, "I'm not sure which one to pick. Their all so beautiful." The Princess chuckled, "I can understand that. So here, seeing as you were the one to openly bust them." She handed Demiyah a box that was just a bit smaller than her Gem Chest. Princess Diamond lowered her glasses and gave a coy wink, "From one Royal to another. A Pillar of Light always knows." Demiyah blushed as the group returned to the Oliver house. Hop asked, "So what's in the box?"
Demiyah opened the chest to reveal not only gemstones but precious metals, fine jewelry, and a familiar locket. "My Star Locket! I thought I lost this during the fall! But where did these gems, precious metals, and the jewelry come from?" The last thing that came from the box was a letter. It was yellowed and was written on parchment stationary. Real expensive parchment stationary. Like the kind the Queens and Kings of the Silver Millennium once used. Demiyah opened it to reveal a letter and a holoprojector. The letter read:
My darling Serenity,
Today would mark the day you were crowned queen. But unfortunately, that day never came. One of my cousins fled to Earth and founded the Diamond Kingdom. She took with her this box and its contents. It was passed down from Mother to Daughter, Father to Son over the generations. By now you should have your first locket and Artemis as your Advisor. I knew you would regain your memories and powers by a Time Travel Mission to Rafcon. So I left several caches of things from our Kingdom hidden around Reefside and other places that in time will become important to you. The Map is in the Holoprojector.
Princess Diamond is the Pillar of Light or in more modern terms Princess of Heart for the Eltar System. She knew who you were the moment you met. She can be trusted my daughter.
With much love,
Your mother in Spirit,
Queen Serenity
Demiyah had tears in her eyes as she handed the letter to her family members to read. Hop smiled and said, "Seems mother is still watching out for you."
That night Demiyah slept safely with the song of her star locket playing. She dreamt of the happy times in the Silver Millennium.
Hop and Leon were both fast asleep content with their dreams.
On the Moon, Queen Serenity's spirit smiled knowing her actions today made her daughter happy.
