Chapter 21: The Dimensional Secrets Revealed! Taiki’s Stoicism Shines Through! Usagi yawned, hearing Ikuko call her to go to school. “Usagi-chan! If you don’t wake up, I’ll tell people that Sailor Moon is lazy!” she teased. “Mama, stop!” she whined. “I’ll do that too...YAAAAH!!!” Luna jumped off of Usagi’s bed, startled by something. “What is it,” Usagi asked sleepily, grabbing her glasses from her nightstand. “Look out the window! Who’s that giant girl in the sky?!” shrieked Luna, cowering by Usagi’s dresser. “Yeah, what is this?! An enemy? Make your message quick, giant head! I’ll be late for school!” Usagi snapped. “Sailor Senshi. I am Mystina. Come to Juuban High. I have three surprises named Pikachu, Chibi-Usa, and Taiki waiting for you,” said the head, and then it disappeared. “Mystina! Oh no, Chibi-Usa!” Usagi shrieked. “Well, this is one time that Mama and I come to school with you,” said Shingo, following Ikuko into Usagi’s bedroom. “Right. Moon Eternal Power!” “Earth Cosmic Power!” “Sun Cosmic Power!” “Make Up!” When they arrived at Juuban High, all the Senshi except the three that Mystina mentioned were there. “Good job, Usagi! You made it to school on time for once,” remarked Rei. “I can get here if it’s to save Chibi-Usa,” retorted Usagi. “Don’t start fighting now! We need to save them!” said Hotaru, getting in the middle of Rei and Usagi. But when the Senshi went in the doors, they saw Queen Beryl, Prince Diamond, Kaori Knight, Queen Nehelenia, and Sailor Galaxia blocking them. But before anyone could shoot an attack, the five head villains crumbled and cages shot out of them, trapping the Senshi! In the principal’s office, Mystina saw the happenings in her mirror. “So my trap is sprung. I knew they were going to crumble soon, so I made use of it,” she said, before turning to Taiki. The 12-year old was sitting in the corner, with Mystina blocking her. “Now! You must pay for all the times you’ve foiled my plans! I will make you show emotion and hate me!” Mystina shouted, zapping Taiki, who didn’t even scream. Even after Mystina did this many times, Taiki still stared at her, silently, with her eerie unemotional eyes. Meanwhile, Chibi-Usa and Pikachu woke up, and looked down. They were hanging from the ceiling, tied up by ropes. Using her telekinesis, Pikachu started to undo the entrappings. Mystina was furious, and confused. “Why don’t you hate me?!?!” she screamed. “You’re a person too,” Taiki said softly, matter-of-factly. “What?! But then what about your battles!?” Mystina retorted. “I never meant to kill them,” Taiki said. “I hate this!! I HATE UNEMOTIONAL PEOPLE!” Mystina screeched, and with one last hit, she knocked out Taiki. Suddenly she heard two thumps, as Chibi-Usa and Pikachu hit the floor, freed from their bonds. “Oh kill me!” Mystina cried. “No way. Then I couldn’t get answers out of you. I want to know what the whole deal is here,” challenged Pikachu, stepping up to the cowering Mystina. “Okay. Here’s the story. I am from another dimension. I wanted to make trouble for you, since I like to create chaos. In my dimension we have 144 Sailor Senshi. I sucked them into my Chaos Crystal, with the purpose of releasing the power upon the Earth. My first target was Crystal Tokyo and the Time Gates. Chibi-Usa was rather easy to throw to the Earth, but that Time Guardian put up a struggle before I could send her away. In the fight, the Chaos Crystal shattered, and the Senshi powers were put into the Earth, ready to be reborn much later, ready to be reborn in the 30th century. But there was a problem, namely, you. You came, and the pull of your Senshi powers caused three of the Senshi to be reborn here, though only temporarily. They should lose these powers soon. But that explains where their powers come from. I also caused your old enemies to be reborn as well, when I was in the Time Gates. But they were temporary as well, which is why they were destroyed so easily. Now, Chibi-Usa! Purify me! Then the other Senshi will be freed out of bondage!” Mystina called, finishing her story. “Okay! Moon Crisis Power!” Chibi-Usa sent the purifying power of her Silver Crystal to Mystina, ridding her of her evil thoughts, though she still kept her love of fun. As the Senshi were released, so were the powers of Sailor Earth, Sailor Sun, and Sailor Eclipse. They were sent back into the Earth. And as the school day started for real, Mystina went on to host a popular comedy show on TV, and she, once in while, let Minako be a guest star. And through it all, Taiki remained unemotional, as was natural to her.
