Project: Sailor Earth
Chapter 6: ChibiMo??!?!
By: Tory L. Brown
More Legal stuff! this fanfic is based on the series Sailor Moon,
Copyright by, that goddess, Takeuchi Naoko (Did I mention she rocks?). Be
prepared to meet some new characters in this one!
A tiny figure tiptoed into the chamber where Sailor Earth was laying
still in a coma like state. The little figure giggled and tapped the
brooch on Sailor Earth's chest. The circle opened revealing the tan stone
hidden within. With a gasp the little figure whispered something and
placed a ball of light inside the star. It closed the star and stood back
waiting. The ball of light the figure placed inside Sailor Earth's brooch
suddenly infused with her entire being. Sailor Earth woke with a gasp and
looked around wildly, her dark ponytails flying about her shoulders.
"Where am I?" she asked, noticing that she was still in her Sailor
fuku.
"You're in Imitar's chamber, I came here to wake you up. You know
it's not good for the Sailor of the Earth to be trapped!" The tiny figure
replied from the darkness of a corner.
A flash of light greeted Sailor Earth's eyes from the corner where
the figure stood. "Dare, anata?" she asked, peering into the corner,
trying to see the person.
The tiny figure stepped into the sullen light of the chamber. Sailor
Earth felt as if she was looking into a mirror! The girl looked exactly
like her except her fuku was the reversed, her boots and skirt was lemon
yellow while her bows were a deep purple. Sailor Earth gasped and leaped
from the altar she was laying on, walking closer she touched the girl's
cheek, making the girl giggle.
"Are you me?!" Sailor Earth gasped as she grabbed one of the girl's
ponytails.
The girl smiled and calmly removed her ponytail from Sailor Earth's
grasp. "No, I am not you. I am your daughter, some call me Chibimo back
at home, but seeing us now I guess I'm not so Chibi," she smiled.
"Ok if you're Chibimo untransformed, what is your Sailor name?"
Sailor Earth prodded, leering at the girl in confusion.
"They call me Sailor Paradise," she smiled again "In the future
you're Sailor Utopia and I am Sailor Paradise, together we work to make
Earth a happy place since the Neo King and Neo Queen are busy with other
plans."
Sailor Earth scratched her head in confusion. "Nani? Utopia? Iie it
can't be, I am just Sailor Earth and that's it!" she gruffly said,
becoming slightly enraged.
"It's ok Okaa-san, this is going to take some time to get use to.
There will be time for that later, but now we have to get out of here
before Imitar returns to finish you off," Sailor Paradise said suddenly,
taking a dark tone to her voice. "My power is very limited since I've been
trapped a while, we're going to have to fight our way out," she continued,
slowly ushering Sailor Earth to the dark end of the chamber.
"Nani, there's no light, how can we see?!" Sailor Earth babbled,
still unsure of what's happening.
"That's ok, I have light," she said, reaching up and turning the
jewels that decorated her odangos. The bright purple lights appeared
like head beams, lightening their way through the tunnel. Hearing a
sound, Sailor Paradise closed the entrance behind them. She could hear
Imitar cursing loudly at the top of his lungs. "Come, Okaa-san, we must go
find Sailor Earth," she finished and pushed Sailor Earth ahead of her,
letting her head beams light the darkness.
For what seemed like hours the two crept inside the tunnel, Sailor
Paradise was giving directions from behind, keeping an eye behind them.
Finally they reached the end of the tunnel and Sailor Paradise passed
Sailor Earth and gave a push on the door. It swung open into a chamber
much similar to the one Sailor Earth was lying in. A tiny girl rushed
towards Sailor Paradise and wrapped her arms around her waist.
"Paradise, where have you been, I was worried about you!" the girl
said and began crying loudly.
"It's OK," she soothed the small girl. "I found Okaa-san! I told you
she was here!" she said as the girl stopped her sobbing and looked up.
"Mommy!" the girl cried and rushed into Sailor Earth's arms, Sailor
Earth still unsure of what was happening, embraced the small girl.
Not able to take it anymore, Sailor Earth cried. "What in the name of
Earth is going on, you still haven't told me much!" she said, looking at
Paradise, who suddenly stopped smiling. Paradise took the little girl by
the hand and let her to the table. They all sat down, Sailor Earth
started to drool noticing the various fruits in the large orange bowl on
the table, helping herself to some grapes and banannas she wolfed them
down eagerly, feeling her strength beginning to return to her.
"Good, you need your strength Okaa-san--" Sailor Paradise began.
"Why are you calling me Okaa-san!?" Sailor Earth broke in, letting a
grape drop from her hand.
"Because, you're our mommy!" the small girl said, twirling her finger
in a long ponytail, her dazzling green eyes sparkled in the dim light.
"Well maybe we should go back, way back," Sailor Paradise began
again, her violet eyes sparkling. "You see oka...Sailor Earth, Me and
Sailor Earth here were captured by Imitar. He appeared to us one day
while you and I was in battle. After a long fight with him, he stunned me
and captured me. I awoke in the same kind of chamber you were in, this
one. The next day, he went back and captured Sailor Earth," She said,
pointing to the small girl wearing the same fuku as Moshi. "I guess he
thinks since he has us both, he could control Earth," she stopped as she
noticed Sailor Earth's eyes watering. "Is there something wrong Sailor
Earth?"
"You're...my...daughters?" she sniffed, feeling the warm tears run
down her cheeks. Unable to say anymore she stood up and gathered Paradise
in a warm embrace. Sailor Paradise sniffled a bit and returned the hug,
the two were locked in an embrace until Sailor Paradise felt a nudge on
her leg. The little girl squirmed her way between the two, creating a
group hug.
After the moment passed, Sailor Earth looked at the little girl and
said, "What do I call you little one, is your name Moshi also?"
The little girl smiled and answered, "Miko to iimasu, you
named me after Obaasan! Paradise is named after you." She snuggled close
to Sailor Earth. "I am Sailor Earth, but I guess here in the past I'll be
Chibi Earth."
"The reunion was nice, but we have urgent matters to discuss here,"
Sailor Paradise said, her eyes turning into purple ice. They sat back at
the table and began to discuss various ideas on trying to escape Imitar's
citadel.

"Usagi-chan, it's not your fault!" Ami said, trying to sooth a
hysterical Usagi. Usagi was in another blue mood after Sailor Earth
vanished. She simply turned and buried her head in Mamoru's chest.
"I can't believe I thought that mimic was her!" she sobbed looking at
Sailor Earth's ring she'd been wearing since that ill-fated battle.
"If she was here, I'm sure she wouldn't want you bellowing like a
moose!" Rei said, starting to get very annoyed.
"Now now girls, we have to think of a way to get Moshi back," Artemis
said, twitching his ears. Luna looked at Artemis, she didn't like the way
his ears were twitching, he might had a plan brewing in his head. Minako
noticed also and proceeded to think of a plan herself.
"I got it!" she yelled, causing everyone to jump back in panic. "We
can use our powers and teleport to her!"
"Teleportation wouldn't work like that, we have to know where she's
at!" Makoto objected.
"Actually it might be feasable," Ami started.
"I understand, Ami-chan. Since Usagi has her ring, we could like use
that to direct us towards her!" Rei said, suddenly getting excited at the
thought of traveling towards some unknown place.
"It's no good!" Usagi screamed, her face scrunching up in anguish.
"We can't put Mo-chan in anymore trouble!"
"Usagi-chan, think, this is to save a fellow Senshi, a friend,
someone we care about. We can't just sit here!" Minako said, smashing a
fist into her other hand.
"I agree," Chibiusa said, wiping tears from her eyes.
"So it's settled, lets move!" Makoto said, throwing her henshin stick
into the air and saying, "Jupiter Star Power...Make up!!!"
Venus followed suit saying, "Venus Star Power...Make up!!!"
"Mercury Star Power...Make up!!!"
"Mars Star Power...Make up!!!"
"Moon Prism Power...Make up!!!"
Mamoru also changed into Tuxedo Kamen. They all stood and looked at
Usagi, who was staring at the ring on her finger. She was thinking of all
the fun times they had in class. "Moshi," she whispered and turned to
look at the Senshi. "Alright, for Moshi, for Sailor Earth. Let's go!
Moon Cosmic Power....Make up!!!"
* * * *
"This way Okaa-san!" Sailor Paradise whispered. Sailor Chibi Earth
raced ahead to make sure the corridor was clear. She turned and made a
motion for them to come. The three versions of Earth hurried through the
citadel, making sure none of Imitar's guards spotted them. They almost
made through another hallway until a voice made them stop in fear.
"Halt, in the name of Imitar!" a guard wearing dark armor wielding a
long staff approached, aiming his staff at Sailor Earth.
"Don't let the staff touch you!" Sailor Paradise screamed. Chibi
Earth screamed and dashed off towards end of the hallway. Sailor Paradise
threw herself at Sailor Earth knocking her out the way. She jumped up
pushing her tiara back on her forehead.
"I didn't appreciate that! Paradise Misery!" She pointed a finger to
the sky as a dark cloud surrounded her finger, she flung the cloud at the
guard, who stopped and slumped on the ground crying. Sailor Earth glanced
at the crying guard as Paradise helped her from the floor.
"Nani," was all she could utter.
"I control emotions, I just made him very sad," Paradise said with a
sly grin, the loud sobs of the guard reached their ears. "Come Okaa-san,
we must go to the next hallway, Chibi Earth is already there.
Together they hurried to where Chibi Earth was. She bounced once she
saw them emerge from the corner, she could hear the loud sobs of the
guard. "In here let's go!" Chibi Earth whispered excitedly. The three
herded into another tunnel where they remained hidden.
* * * *
The senshi gathered up on the roof of Rei's temple, a lazy breeze
wafted by. Each senshi could feel the tension of the mission at hand, if
they goofed this up, Moshi might be killed. With Luna on Sailor Moon's
shoulders and Artemis on Venus' they all joined hands and concentrated.
Luna raised her head to the sky and yelled, "Sailor....Teleport!!!!"
The colors of Moon, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Mars surrounded them and
shot straight into the air in collected beams of light. A purple light
emerged from Moshi's ring, joining the reast of the colors. The ring was
going to lead them straight to Moshi. Each senshi concentrated hard,
sending every ounce of their power into the sky. Slowly their forms faded
as they were transported to the pathway in front of Imitar's Citadel.
* * * *
Removing her head jewel, Sailor Earth threw it like a dicus, cutting
through the guards armor making him squeal in pain. Since they were all
low on energy, they were forced to fight their way to the front gate.
Sailor Paradise and Chibi Earth followed suit, flinging their head jewels
like lethal weapons.
They continued their exodus down the hall, striking any guard they
encountered, the fear of Imitar catching them drove them on. Turning the
corner they entered a cul-de-sac. Chibi Earth gulped loudly as six guards
followed them.
"Heh, we got you now!" one grunted and charged at Chibi Earth with
his staff brandished. Chibi Earth leaped and connected one foot with his
chin and then her other foot, doing a double kick. He flew backwards into
the other guards, tripping them over with his body.
"One down, five to go!" Paradise yelled, executing the same kick
Chibi Earth did moments earlier. Sailor Earth threw herself into the
fray, landing various punches and kicks. Before the trio knew it the six
limping guards were running away screaming.
"We can't let them get away!" Chibi Earth roared, as loud as a eight
year old could. She threw her hands in the air and said 'Neo Life
Force...Absorb!!!" Two of the six guards dropped, drained of their
energy. Chibi Earth smiled, feeling her powers growing.
Paradise raced behind two guards who were heading for the corner.
She placed her hands on their shoulders and her hands began to glow, the
guards fell in a crumpled heap of arms, legs and clashing armor.
"Okaa-san, the others!" She prompted.
Holding her hands out in front, Sailor Earth bellowed, "Life...Force.
..ABSORBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB!" she drained the two guards huddling in the
corner to the very point of their deaths. Her eyes flashed as she felt
her power grow ten fold. She picked up her head jewels and reattached
them to her head. Paradise and Chibi Earth followed suit, suddenly their
head jewels began to flash in a beeping motion.
"Nani?" Sailor Earth whispered, A voice reached her ears.
"This place is really dark.."
"...haha Pluto, darkness is your way of life..."
"...Are you sure this is the place...."
"Neptune..."
Paradise stared at her funny, until she began to pick up the voices
as well. Chibi Earth smiled once she heard Pluto's name.
"There's more Senshi?" Sailor Earth stammered in shock.
"Hai, Okaa-san, Sailor Neptune, Uranus, Pluto, and Saturn," Sailor
Paradise said, touching her mother's shoulder.
"Minna, I know where they're at!" Chibi Earth said and sprinted off,
with Sailor Earth and Paradise in pursuit. They raced down the hallway,
causing guards to scatter into the dark corners. The came upon the
Anteroom of the Citadel, where the four outer Senshi stood, taking
inventory of where they were.
"Pluto!" Chibi Earth squeaked as she attached herself to Sailor
Pluto's legs. The tall senshi with the key staff reached down and hugged
the smaller senshi in return.
"You made it!" Paradise said as she embraced Sailor Nepture and
Uranus. Sailor Earth stood in the background, looking at the outer Senshi,
Sailor Saturn noticed her and stepped forward.
"I see you've found your mother." she smiled at Chibi Earth. "Sailor
Earth, I am Sailor Saturn, The blond is Sailor Uranus, That's Sailor
Neptune, and the one with the large key is Sailor Pluto," she finished,
somewhat smiling at Sailor Earth's reaction.
"do..dozo yorishiku," she stammered, trying to regain her composure.
Sailor Saturn grinned. "I see we both like purple."
Sailor Earth blushed. "um, well, yours is darker."
"It seems we arrived in time," Sailor Pluto began, turning towards
Sailor Earth. "We must get you out of here before Imitar notices." The
seven senshi started for the front gate.
* * * *
The wind howled as it raced past the Senshi. "I wonder where how we
could get in," Sailor Moon wondered, Tuxedo Kamen, stood protectively
in in front of Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon. Sailor Mercury, twisted her
earring, making her visor appear. She clicked away on her mini computer
as Jupiter and Venus began to pace back and forth.
"Sssh I hear something!" Sailor Mars said, putting her fingers to her
temples. The large brass door of the citadel opened and two guards came
tumbling out. A small girl looking like Sailor Earth bounced out holding
Sailor Pluto's hand as the others emerged, with Sailor Earth behind them.
Everyone stopped, noticing each other's presence. Sailor Moon rushed
forward screaming Moshi's name. Sailor Earth smiled and ran forward also.
The two embraced, each sobbing something the others couldn't understand.
Sailor Moon removed the ring and gave it back to Sailor Earth. The stone
glittered even more brightly once she placed it back on her finger.
"We must leave, I believe Imitar is coming," Sailor Saturn quietly
said, placing a hand on Sailor Paradise's shoulder. The outer senshi,
Sailor Paradise and Chibi Earth stood in a circle. Chibi Earth waved as
they began to flicker from sight, soon they vanished. leaving only the
inner senshi.
"Ja ne, Okaa-san, we'll meet again soon..." Sailor Paradise's words
reached Sailor Earth's ears.
"Let's go now, before Imitar comes out, I'd rather fight on my turf
than his," Sailor Earth said to the stunned Senshi. The ground began to
quake as Imitar made his way through the citadel. Imitar's howling
reached their ears as the huddles back in a circle preparing to teleport
back to Earth. The last thing Sailor Earth saw was his dark mass
appearing before them.
"I will find you Sailor Earth!!!" he wailed, taking swipes at their
flickering bodies.
"And I will be prepared Imitar, because you'll be on my turf!" Sailor
Earth said as they vanished from sight, teleporting back to Earth.
