Chapter 29: Final Showdown

After what seemed like a very long sleep, Electra finally woke up. She had been sleeping on a bed, but it wasn’t the one she had at home. Instead, she was in a cage, and outside of the cage was a stone dungeon room. She then smirked when she felt her pocket. Her transformation wand was still there.

“Sarah is so stupid,” Electra whispered smugly to herself. It was so obvious. Her powers involved fire. She could just burn her way out of this cage, and she was sure that she could either find a way back to the Crystal Palace, or else find Sarah and fight her.

“Mars Sparkle Power, Make Up!” As she transformed, there was another, larger flash of light in the dungeon, this one coming from outside of the cage. When the light faded, Sailor Chibi Mars was back in action, and all the other Chibi Senshi were standing in a circle near the cage.

“You didn’t need to rescue me,” Chibi Mars shrugged, “I’m sure I can get out of this easily. Mars Burning Reaction!” Flames shot out of her mouth, melting the bars slightly.

“Can you try burning the top of the cage? Maybe you can make a hole and I can fly through and get you out that way,” Chibi Pluto suggested. Chibi Mars rolled her eyes and shot her attack again, melting the bars more and making a hole that looked like it was big enough for her to climb through. Unfortunately, the metal was still hot, and Chibi Mars’s fur caught on fire when she tried to squeeze through.

“You idiot! That’s what you get for trying to be a little secret agent!” Chibi Mercury jeered, and Pluto glared at her.

“Why don’t you make yourself useful and freeze the bars so they cool off?” she snapped.

“Nah, I like seeing that little twerp in pain too much,” Chibi Mercury shrugged, but then she felt a shock of energy hit her in the back, and she yelped, falling forward. Five figures came into view, all people the Chibi Senshi’s parents had fought before. Sailor Galaxia, the Wiseman, Kaolinite, Queen Nehelenia and Queen Beryl, the one who had attacked Sailor Chibi Mercury. Senshi attacks were called out, aimed at the 5 new opponents, while Chibi Jupiter ran to where she had heard her sister’s voice.

“Pink Moonbeam Blaster!”

“Mercury Frigid Fusion!” Queen Beryl began to be encased in ice, and at the same time she was hit in the face by Chibi Moon’s pink energy beam.

“Venus Sparkling Beauty!”

“Uranus Zephyr Flash!” This combination blew the Wiseman into the wall.

“Neptune Tsunami Waterspout!”

“Star Gentle Uterus!” Kaolinite was thrown into the air by the gush of water, and then Chibi Star Maker’s attack hit her.

“Saturn Epitaph Assault!”

“Star Sensitive Inferno!”

“Star Serious Laser!”

“Earth Crystal Blast!” The four attacks struck both Queen Nehelenia and Sailor Galaxia, and they were both knocked back. The five villains were not beaten yet, and they all got back up and shot their own energy beams at the Chibi Senshi. In a stroke of luck, Queen Nehelenia’s blast happened to hit Chibi Mars’s cage, and another one of the bars was broken, allowing her to finally escape to join the others. Suddenly Sarah rushed out into the room, brandishing a large purple sword.

“Get their Heart Crystals now! Before they attack again!” she ordered.

“You’re not taking them! I want the Heart Crystals!” Chibi Mercury shouted, and she began to freeze Sarah’s body, starting with her hands. Sailor Galaxia, noticing that Chibi Mercury was distracted, shot a beam of energy at her, attempting to take her Heart Crystal. Chibi Star Healer leaped at Chibi Mercury’s legs and knocked her down, which caused Galaxia to miss, although the freezing stopped and the ice broke off of Sarah’s hands.

“We need to all work together! Let’s all put our powers into Mama’s crystal like our mothers would do,” Chibi Moon suggested, yelping as she dodged a blast from Queen Nehelenia. She held up the Silver Crystal and called “Moon Magic Power!” Light poured out of the Silver Crystal, forming a shield around Chibi Moon’s body. Both Queen Beryl and the Wiseman’s beams were blocked, although the shield began to crack.

“Healer Prism Power!” Chibi Star Healer called, a pale green star flashing on her forehead and adding to Chibi Moon’s shield. Sailor Earth, Sailor Chibi Star Fighter, Sailor Chibi Jupiter, Sailor Chibi Saturn, Sailor Chibi Star Maker, Sailor Chibi Uranus and Sailor Chibi Pluto also added theirs. Chibi Venus looked up dazedly, as she had been laying on the floor, watching the lights glitter on the walls, but then she added her power as well. Chibi Neptune and Chibi Mars reluctantly added their energy, and only Sailor Chibi Mercury was left. The 5 reborn villains were beginning to lose ground as they sent their own beams of dark energy at the ever-widening shield, and Sarah noticed the lone Senshi. She grinned and charged, swinging her sword at Chibi Mercury, who only dodged slightly, letting herself get slashed on her arm.

“I’m bleeding...real angst and pain,” she giggled maniacally to herself, “I want you to feel that pain too, Sarah.”

“Then help us! If you join us we can beat all 6 of them!” Chibi Pluto shouted at her, her concentration breaking, and the shield began to fail.

“Fine! I’ll help this once! Mercury Sparkle Power!” The blue energy mixed with the rest, and the shield split, turning into 6 rainbow-colored beams that destroyed Sarah and the 5 reborn villains. The beams disappeared as Chibi Moon dropped the Silver Crystal on the floor as she fell to her knees, exhausted.

“We need to all go back now. We can do one last teleport together,” Chibi Saturn panted, picking the Silver Crystal off the floor. She handed it back to Chibi Moon, who nodded. The Chibi Senshi stood in a circle, their auras glowing again.

“Sailor Teleport!” In a flash of multi-colored light, they disappeared from Sarah’s world and reappeared back at the Crystal Palace. Most of them immediately collapsed on the floor, and Karinka fell asleep.

“Hotaru! Andromeda got hurt!” Serenity exclaimed, noticing the large, bleeding cut on Andromeda’s arm. Hotaru ran over, and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Serenity, that’s something we can easily fix up. I was worried that she had gotten into something much worse, given how she is at times,” Hotaru commented.

“We used the Crystal and beat her, Mama. No old enemies will be coming back now,” Chibi-Usa whispered before she, too, fell asleep on the floor. Serenity smiled at her daughter, and then at all the Chibi Senshi, proud that they were finally able to work together when it was most important for them to do so.
