Destiny Spelled Backwards is Ynitsed, Part 1

"I've sensed a girl who has been strange dreams on Earth about being one of the senshi of this universe. I suppose that means we've got another senshi to retrieve," Ippin said to two cats, namely Schylar and Solai.

"I've sensed it too," Schylar replied. "I've recognized her as Sailor Chibi Dantooine, but I don't know much else about her. Do you know anything else? We're going to need some more information if we want to retrieve her without bad circumstance."

"I believe her name to be Kouno Chouko, and she lives in Tokyo, Japan, if I'm right. I think she's thirteen years old. That can help out in our search, I believe," Ippin replied, thinking. Just as Solai was about to speak, a sneeze was heard from behind a nearby large plant.

"Great. Now my cover's blown," a girl's voice muttered. An odango that resembled a Gungan's eye poked from the side of the plant, and finally a girl around the age of thirteen came from around the side.

"Kairi-chan, what exactly are you doing?" Ippin asked. Kairiku moved away from the plant and came up to Ippin.

"May I please go with you to find the new senshi, Ippin? I won't be a problem, I promise. But I'd like to meet her, she being my age and all," Kairiku requested.

Ippin smiled. "You were listening, weren't you?"

"Yeah," Kairiku said with a mischievous grin. "I was just walking by when I heard you mention the part about a new senshi. Then I hid behind the plant."

"Well, I don't see a problem with you coming along to help me find her," Ippin stated.

"Two heads are better than one," Solai quipped.

"Yavin Power..."

"Gungan Force Power..."

"Make up!" the two said at once, transforming into Sailors Yavin and Chibi Naboo. Sailor Yavin opened the time gate, and the two sailors and cats stepped through.

Sailor Yavin, Sailor Chibi Naboo, Solai, and Schylar all came out of the time gate on Earth in a large park in Tokyo. It seemed to be empty where they had arrived, and both decided it would be a good idea to de-transform to look for Chouko.

"Maybe we should split up. We can cover more ground that way," Kairiku advised. "Solai and I can go one way, and you and Schylar can go another."

"I know you're capable of taking care of yourself," Ippin smiled. "Schylar and I will go down this path, and you two can go down the one over there," Ippin finished, pointing to a path a few feet away.

"Okay, meet you later once Solai and I have found her!" Kairiku exclaimed, running off to the path with Solai in hot pursuit.

"Sooo... where do you think she is?" Solai asked Kairiku as they strolled down the path. Apparently it was leading to a garden area; Kairiku could already smell the beautiful perfumes of the flowers that lay ahead.

"If I knew the answer, Solai, we'd be back to the Room Behind the Waterfall with the new girl, now wouldn't we?" Kairiku said.

Solai rolled his eyes. "Logic hurts."

Just then, Kairiku and Solai heard a girl's voice from slightly down the path. "Pinku! Don't... no... you'll regret it!" the voice called. Shortly afterwards, there was a small splashing sound and a kitten's regretful mew. "I warned you," the girl's voice repremanded.

Kairiku and Solai rushed down the path. They spotted a girl with long, dark brown hair in a braid, sitting near a pond with goldfish in it. She was drying off a very wet and ticked-off pink kitten. "I've told you once, and I've told you a thousand times, Pinku, that those goldfish are too fast for a little thing like you."

Kairiku and Solai darted behind a bush and watched for any indication that this girl may be Kouno Chouko. "Well, at least she's got good taste in cats," Solai whispered. "Pink really is that kitten's color." Kairiku gave Solai a strange look.

"What is THAT supposed to mean," Kairiku spluttered softly.

"Well, you know how different humans look good in different colors? Same thing with cats," Solai replied as if it was only natural to know that. Kairiku facefaulted and sighed.

The girl by the pond looked up to the bush Kairiku and Solai hid behind. "Did you hear that, Sakura?" she whispered. Suddenly, her eyes grew wide and she paled. "A m-m-monster!" she exclaimed, standing up and backing away, pointing at Kairiku's Gungan-eye like odango that stuck up from behind the bush.

"Monster?! Where?!" Kairiku exclaimed, jumping from the bushes with Solai. "Gungan..."

"Oh, it's just your hair!" the girl exclaimed, sighing in relief. "Your odango looked like an alien or something's eyes. Hey... wait a minute... why were you watching me?"

"Sorry about that. I'll explain, but right now I have a VERY important question. Are you Kouno Chouko?" Kairiku asked, coming towards the girl.

"How... how did you know my name?" the girl asked suspiciously.

"It's a long story..." Kairiku began, but she was cut off by maniacal laughter from a portion of the garden area that was shaded by many trees.

"Too bad you won't get to tell it," a female voice laughed evilly as an evil-looking girl stepped into a shaft of light.

"Sailor Sith Iyagaru!" Kairiku and Solai exclaimed. Chouko's jaw dropped when she heard Solai speak.

"A talking cat?!?!" Chouko exclaimed in disbelief, confused as to who to pay attention to: an insane girl claiming to be a "Sailor Sith" or a talking cat.

"Bing bing bing bing bing! Give the girl a prize! She's absolutely right!" the Sailor Sith mocked sarcastically.

"Gungan Force Power... Make Up!" Kairiku exclaimed, transforming into Sailor Chibi Naboo. "Gungan Blue Ball Launch!"

The insane Sailor Sith dodged the attack and made a 'tsk'-ing sound. "You know, I'm glad I found two of you senshi in one spot. It'll be like killing two annoying little sailor-suited birds with one stone!"

"Woah. Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah!!" Chouko denied, waving her hands and shaking her head. "You have got something REALLY wrong with you if you think I'm a senshi!"

"Actually, she does have something wrong upstairs, but she's right," Chibi Naboo said, sweatdropping. Chouko stared at her like she was as insane as Geri.

"Enough chit-chat," Iyagaru said, irritated. "Black Hole..." She began her attack.

"MEOW!" Pinku mewed angrily, jumping onto Iyagaru's head and swiping her claws repeatedly over the Sailor Sith's face.

"OW OW OW OW OW!!! MY FACE!! GET THIS PINK HAIRBALL OFF ME!!" Iyagaru exclaimed, trying to throw Sakura from her face.

"Alright, Pinku!!" Chouko and Chibi Naboo cheered.

Iyagaru eventually shook the kitten off of her face. "My face! Oooooooo. I can't fight like this! Thanks to you, I'll probably get some disease! The next time we meet, I'll get you! I'll get you, my senshi, and your little cat too!" She then escaped back to her universe.

Sakura leapt back to Chouko, who knelt down as Sakura sprang onto her shoulder. She then turned around to Sailor Chibi Naboo.

"Who are you anyway?" Chouko asked quietly.

"I'm Sailor Chibi Naboo," she stated. "The grey tabby is Solai, and you, Chouko, are Sailor Chibi Dantooine."

"We aren't lyin', baby," Solai said. "By the by, that was pretty impressive for a 'normal' cat, Pinku."

Pinku stared at Solai for a moment, then mewed happily. "I think that means 'Thank you'," Chouko laughed.

"There you are!" Ippin, now Sailor Yavin, said, running into the garden area with Schylar. She noticed Sailor Chibi Naboo standing near Chouko and asked, "So... is this Chouko?"

"Yes, I'm the one you're looking for, I guess," Chouko stated. "And you would be...?"

"I'm Sailor Yavin, the Guardian of the Time and Space Gates," Yavin replied. "Pleased to meet you."

"And I'm glad to meet you, too," Chouko said.

"Well, here comes the important part," Schylar said. The tabby then flipped in the air and produced a silver brooch with a gold butterly on it from nowhere. "This is your transformation brooch. You hold it and say, 'Chibi Dantooine Power, Make Up!' and you'll be transformed into Sailor Chibi Dantooine. Give it a try."

Chouko picked up the brooch and held it in her hand carefully. "Well, nothing will surprise me after being attacked by that... that... lunatic. Here goes nothing. Chibi Dantooine Power... Make Up!"

Chouko felt a strange power as she was transformed into Sailor Chibi Dantooine. When the transformation was complete, she was shocked and slightly scared to realize it had worked after all. She was now in a sailor fuku like on Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon. "I am Sailor Chibi Dantooine, senshi of friendship and faith, and you're punished for the sake of the innocent!" She then blinked. "Uhm... why did I just say that?"

Pinku was still on her shoulder, but now the kitten's eyes were wide and an obvious aura of surprise radiated from her. With her pink fur standing on end, Pinku just stood on Chouko's shoulder like a kitty statue.

Chouko, now Sailor Chibi Dantooine, noticed the state of her cat. "Pinku? What's wrong with her?"

"Looks like a BAAD case of kitty shock," Solai stated. "She did go through the tranformation process, baby. That'd put a number on any kitty's mind."

"Oops," Sailor Chibi Dantooine said as Pinku mewed in a confused way. Sailor Chibi Naboo giggled.

"Now for the serious part," Schylar said, and the tabby was, indeed, quite serious now. "You can either stay here on Earth and your memory of this entire event will be removed, or you can come with us to meet your destiny."

"My destiny," Chibi Dantooine echoed softly. "Well, I guess any way you spell it, it's my destiny."

"No, baby, if ya really think about it, destiny spelled backwards is ynitsed," Solai joked.

At first everyone gave Solai a bizarre look. Then, giggles eventually broke out from the awkward silence.

"Okay. I've made up my mind," Chibi Dantooine finally said. "I'll go with you. It seems like it'll be a very... interesting... experience."

Sailor Yavin nodded and opened the gate. Chouko took one last look at her favorite section of the park before removing the slowly recovering Pinku from her shoulder and cradling her in her arms. With a deep breath, she stepped into the gate with Sailor Yavin, Sailor Chibi Naboo, and the cats to meet her destiny... otherwise known as ynitsed.
