30. [Rise of the Earth Kingdom: Chapter Twelve]

"So our job is to protect the princess?"

"That's right. Unfortunately we haven't found her yet." Vicky leaned back against the wall. Natalie tightened her grip on the bench.

"So I'm Sailor Flare, she's Sailor Twilight... who are you?" Natalie looked up at Vicky.

"Sailor Tempest." Natalie nodded.

"Where we you earlier?" Vicky looked down at her.

"Dawn and I went looking for anyone in the building who could've been hurt. We sent her after the youma because we knew she could take care of it." Natalie looked down at the floor.

"So we're supposed to fight these youma and protect the princess..."

"Actually we also need to collect the Earth Kingdom Crystals. If they fall into the wrong hands it could be trouble for the whole planet." Dawn spoke up, hoping onto the bench next to her.

"Hey! Before I found out that Natalie was Sailor Flare, the youma was holding a crystal and said it was what it was looking for. It also said that it stole it from Emily." Vicky and Dawn quickly looked up at Amelia.

"What did the crystal look like?" Dawn quickly asked.

"Well the center crystal was round and it was white, while on the outside were random red crystal sticking out of it." Dawn sighed, smiling slightly.

"It seems that the youma had the wrong crystal then." Dawn sat down next to Natalie.

"Well now that we have three of the sailor scouts, things should be a little easier until we find the others." Vicky smiled, looking over at the window.

"Speaking of which, how many are there?" Natalie asked.

"I'm not sure." Vicky started.

"Although with every new sailor scout, more and more of my memories return." she finished, looking back over at her.

"There's five of us..." Amelia stated.

The others looked at her, confused.

"Wait, how do you know?" Vicky asked.

"Remember our first fight, the one after I found out I was Sailor Twilight?" Vicky nodded.

"Well when you told me to try and remember my attacks I saw you and me, and the silhouettes of three other sailor scouts. One of them must've been Sailor Flare, but I don't know about the other two."

"Interesting. Amelia, what else did you see?" Dawn asked.

"Well I saw people running around the kingdom and a fire and the youma."

"You didn't see the princess?" Amelia shook her head.

"I'm sorry, I didn't." Dawn sighed.

"Don't worry, we'll find her eventually." Vicky started.

"We have to."

29. [Rise of the Earth Kingdom: Chapter Eleven]

"Serlyte, what is the meaning of these failures?"

"I'm sorry, my queen. I promise it will never happen again." Serlyte bowed, looking up at Queen Beryl.

"It seems that there are a group of sailor soldiers that are getting in our way." Queen Beryl pounded her fists into the arms of her chair.

"What? Sailor soldiers?" Serlyte nodded.

"They seem to be the sailor soldiers of the Earth Kingdom." Queen Beryl growled.

"I was afraid this would happen. Since the sailor soldiers of the Moon Kingdom awakened, I knew it wouldn't be long until their sister Kingdom awakened." Queen Beryl stood, holding up a dark crystal.

"Serlyte, use this to find the other Earth Kingdom crystals. Don't let those sailor soldiers get them before you." Queen Beryl tossed the crystal to Serlyte and as she caught it, she smirked.

"Don't worry my queen. There's no way I'm going to let them get a single crystal."

28. [Rise of the Earth Kingdom: Chapter Ten]

"What are you?"

"I'm your worst nightmare, dear."

"Stop right there!" Natalie and the youma looked over towards the voice.

"You have come to the wrong theater. By the name of the Earth Kingdom, I am Sailor Twilight and I will defeat you." The youma laughed.

"You will defeat me? I don't find that likely."

"Sailor Twilight?" Natalie thought, watching her.

"Put the girl down." Sailor Twilight commanded.

"Oh you mean her? Not a problem I've already gotten what I need from her." The youma tossed Emily aside, holding up a crystal.

Natalie quickly stood.

"How dare you come in this theater, kidnap one of our patrons and steal some sort of crystal from her. You have messed with the wrong girl and you will pay for this." Natalie slowly stood, holding a broom. The symbol of Sailor Flare glowing on her forehead.

Sailor Twilight watched her, noticing her forehead.

"Hey that's the same symbol as the one on the transformation wand I found. Ah, what would Dawn or Victoria do. Come on Amelia, think." she thought to herself.

"Just think back like you did with the first fight." Sailor Twilight closed her eyes, holding the transformation wand she found before.

It was then that it hit her.

"Take this wand and transform. Hold it up in the air and shout Flare power, make up!" She quickly tossed the transformation wand to Natalie. Natalie caught it, looking down at it.

"Are you sure about this?" Natalie asked, looking up at her.

"Just trust me!" Sailor Twilight quickly kicked the youma, distracting it long enough for her to transform.

Natalie sighed before sticking the wand in the air.

"Flare power, make up!" and with that, Natalie transformed into the beautiful soldier, Sailor Flare.

"Whoa, super cool." Sailor Flare said, looking down at her uniform.

"Sailor Flare! Use an attack, quick!" Sailor Flare nodded quickly, crossing her arms.

"Flare Fire Blast!" Sailor Flare shot her arms forward, flames shooting towards the youma. The youma screamed, being burned. The youma fell to the ground in pain, unable to move.

"Great job, Sailor Flare. Now it's my turn." Sailor Twilight extended her hand, her wand appearing in a flash of light.

"Twilight Magic Light!" she shouted, while moving the wand in a circle, then pointing it at the youma.

The orange beam shot out at the youma and the youma began to disintegrate. The crystal the youma had returned inside of Emily. Sailor Twilight smiled as she changed back to Amelia.

"I did it!" she shouted, shooting her fist into the air. Sailor Flare changed back into Natalie as she walked over to Amelia.

"Um, excuse me. What just happened? Who are you?" Amelia looked over at her with a smile.

"My name is Amelia and what just happened was two sailor soldiers taking on a youma."

"What is a youma?" Amelia's smile faded.

"I'm actually not quite sure. This is actually only my second fight." Natalie nodded, looking down at the wand.

"Hey, why don't you come with me. You can talk to Victoria and Dawn. They can tell you more about being a sailor soldier than I could." Natalie nodded, looking over at Emily.

"What about her?" Amelia looked over at her as well.

"We have to carry her. Don't worry, it won't be too complicated, she's light." Natalie nodded, walking over towards Emily, Amelia close behind.

"Don't worry Natalie. Eventually the idea of being a sailor soldier grows on you." Natalie smiled.

"Here's hoping it won't take long."

27. [Rise of the Earth Kingdom: Chapter Nine]

"Welcome to the theater. I hope you enjoy the show tonight!" Natalie said, smiling before walking away to join the rest of the cast.

"I think that's the third person to say that... and we haven't even gotten inside yet." Amelia said, looking up at the line to get in.

"I think it might be a while to. The line is so long." Victoria sighed.

"Well Wicked is a pretty popular Broadway show." Emily said, turning the page in her notebook.

"That is true. I wish it would move faster. I want to see the theater!" Amelia whined. Victoria laughed, leaning against the wall.

Slowly the line began to move. People began to pour into the theater all taking out their tickets to show to the usher so they could get into the theater.

"So who has the tickets?" Amelia asked, moving ahead.

They all froze, looking over at Amelia.

"Amelia... you were supposed to have them." Emily replied.

Amelia quickly looked into her bag.

"Mom, did I give the tickets to you?" Crystal shook her head. Amelia began to panic, checking her pockets, the pockets in her bag.

"Oh crap! Where are they?" Emily smiled as she walked by her, holding up the tickets.

"I never gave them to you because I knew I couldn't trust you with them." Amelia crossed her arms, following her.

One by one they entered the theater, walking towards the concessions stand. Crystal walked away from them, towards the bathroom.

"I'll join you guys inside, get me a soda okay?" Amelia nodded.

"Alright mom!" Once Amelia's mother was gone, Dawn poked her head out of Victoria's bag.

"Something, doesn't feel right girls." Victoria looked down at her.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"I'm not sure, but keep an eye out for anything strange." It was then that they heard a scream and people started scrambling for the door. People started bumping into them until finally someone knocked Amelia over,k her transformation wand flying out of her bag.

"Amelia!" Victoria screamed, trying to help her.

Emily screamed as someone grabbed her, carrying her away.

"Put her down now!" Natalie screamed, throwing one of the props at them. As he ran off, Natalie followed, determined to take them down.

"Girls! Transform, quickly!" Dawn commanded.

The girls nodded. Victoria took her transformation wand out of her bag and Amelia picked her's off the floor. The girls quickly stood and in one fell swoop, stuck their wands in the air.

"Tempest Power, Make up!"

"Twilight Power, Make up!"

The girls began to transform, Sailor Twilight and Sailor Tempest were ready for battle.

"Sailor Tempest you come with me. Sailor Twilight, go save Emily!" The girls nodded as Sailor Tempest and Dawn ran off.

Sailor Twilight looked down, noticing a transformation wand on the floor.

"A transformation wand? Is there another sailor scout here?" She noticed the symbol on the wand.

"I wonder what the symbol means..."

A scream was heard in the distance.

"I don't have time to worry about it now. I need to save Emily." Sailor Twilight ran off, pursuing Natalie and the man who grabbed Emily.

26. [Rise of the Earth Kingdom: Chapter Eight]

"Mom! Where is my suitcase?"

"In the closet down the hall, Amelia!" Amelia ran down the hall quickly opening the closet door. Her mother walked up the stairs and over to her.

"It's on the shelf, behind the Christmas stuff." She leaned against the door frame, watching her daughter dig through the stuff in the closet.

"Amelia, why do you always wait until the last minute to pack for trips." Amelia grabbed her suitcase, sitting it on the floor in front of her.

"I do not always wait until the last minute to pack." Her mother smiled as she walked away.

"Just hurry up and finish packing. Emily called and said her mom would be dropping her off soon. Besides we want to leave as soon as we can. Traffic gets pretty heavy around the theater on the weekends." Amelia nodded, rolling the suitcase to her room.

"I won't be long. I have everything ready I just need to put everything in the suitcase."

Amelia looked back as she heard the front door opening.

"Mrs. James. I'm here."

"Just leave your suitcase by the door, Victoria." Vicky nodded as she moved it by the door. Dawn hopped up onto it. Crystal walked down the stairs towards her.

"It's so nice of your aunt to let you guys stay at her place the week of spring break." Vicky smiled.

"It's really nothing. She's been wanting us to stay up at her place for a while now." Crystal nodded.

"Remind me to thank her. Amelia's in her room, in case you're wondering." Crystal eyed Dawn a moment before looking back at Vicky.

"I'm gonna go help her finish packing then. Thanks again Mrs. James for taking us to see Twisted." Vicky started for the stairs, Dawn followed.

Crystal watched Dawn and as Vicky went up the stairs Dawn glanced back at Crystal.

Crystal sighed and walked into the kitchen.

"Victoria... there's something a little off about Amelia's mother." Dawn said, walking down the hall.

"What do you mean?" Vicky asked, picking her up.

"I'm not sure, but something just doesn't seem right."

"I'm sure it's nothing, but you imagination Dawn." Dawn sighed as they entered Amelia's room.

"Hey Vicky!" Amelia said, closing her suitcase.

"Oh hey, you're finished packing?" Vicky asked.

"Yep! In record time to! Now then, help me get this thing downstairs." Vicky nodded, sitting Dawn on the bed.

She approached th suitcase, grabbing it and when she pulled it off the bed, she dropped it.

"Holy crap, Amelia! What is in this thing?"

"There's not that much, but this is why I need your help." The then heard a knock at the door.

"Come on in, Emily. You don't need to knock." Crystal said. Amelia and Victoria carefully carried Amelia's suitcase down the stairs to greet Emily. The door slowly opened as she walked in, sitting her suitcase by Victoria's.

"Hello everyone!" she said, smiling. Victoria and Amelia slowly sat the suitcase down next to the others. Amelia quickly hugged Emily.

"I'm so glad you were able to convince your mother to let you stay with us!" Emily smiled.

"It' wasn't the easiest task, but eventually she caved and she's letting me join you." Crystal slowly walked over to the girls.

"I'd hate to cut this greeting short, but we really should get going." The girls nodded as they each grabbed their suitcases, taking them out to Crystal's car. Crystal had to of course help Amelia.

"Now then, let's get going. We don't want to miss the show." The girls cheered before getting in the car. They were off for the week they would never forget.
