Rini's Travels

(BiggerBetterBarbie)

It was another beautiful sunny day on Raye's private island. Once again, the five inner sailor scouts, including Rini, were spending time on the island to get away from the hustle and bustle of their normal and heroic lives. They were all dressed in their swimsuits, either running around or playing volleyball in the sand, playing around in the shallow water, or sitting up near the hut reading a book (that would be Amy!). Speaking of the hut, finally coming out of there with her swimsuit on was Rini. This two piece swimsuit was completely colored red, with two red bows up on the top half, and a skirt on the bottom half. The only thing that wasn't red, aside from Rini's iconic pink hair, were the yellow sandals (which had yellow-colored bows of their own) she wore on her feet. She was holding a green-colored inner tube that was already fully inflated.
"Oh, you look very nice, Rini." Amy commented.
"Teehee! Thanks, Amy! I've always liked this swimsuit, to be honest." Rini said. The young girl walked towards Amy and was about to walk down the steps in order to head for the beach, but curiousity suddenly entered Rini's mind as she wondered what exactly Amy was reading.

"So what are you reading, Amy?" Rini asked.
"Oh, an old story called Gulliver's Travels." Amy said.
"Oh? Who is Gulliver?" Rini said.
"You mean you've never heard of the story of Gulliver's Travels?" Amy asked.
"Not really… old books like that are a little hard to come by in my time period." Rini said.
"I see. Well, Gulliver's Travels is actually a series of books, originally written in the 18th century, telling different stories revolving around a man named Lemuel Gulliver. He was a doctor who frequently traveled with a ship's crew, which didn't make his wife very happy." Amy said.
"Hmmm… I'll bet. He must really love adventure more than his family." Rini said.
"That he did. But one day, one of the ships he sailed was caught in a terrible storm. He ended up getting swept by it, and he was carried away by the storm currents, lost at sea until he washed ashore the island of Lilliput, a far away island home to many tiny people." Amy said. Naturally, with Rini's fascination with size changing (namely in growing gigantic herself), this piqued her interest as she opened her eyes wider.
"Oh? How tiny?" Rini said.
"Roughly 2 to 4 inches tall, but definitely small enough to make anyone else look almost a hundred feet tall. Gulliver took a fascination with these tiny people, who treated him like a knight in shining armor after he helped defend the island against the rival island nation of Blefuscu." Amy said.
"Wow… a whole island full of tiny people. Imagine that!" Rini said.
"Heh heh, I imagine that wouldn't be too hard for you, especially given the couple of times you grew giant in Tokyo." Amy said with a smile.
"Teehee! But I had fun doing it! Well, I better head out to sea." Rini said as she clutched her inner tube and happily ran down the steps that led to the sand.
"Okay, but be careful, Rini! Don't drift out at sea like you did last time!" Amy shouted as she then got back to reading the Gulliver's Travels book.

Rini, meanwhile, didn't waste any time in running into the ocean water and then jumping into her inner tube. She would occasionally paddle the water with her hands to keep from drifting too far out to sea as the waves tried dragging her and the inner tube outward. Eventually, though, Rini began to settle her mind on other things… namely the thought of an entire island full of people small enough to make her look gigantic. She looked down at her navel and pretended a really tiny person was walking around.
"Teehee! Don't be afraid, little one. I won't hurt you… just try not to fall into my bellybutton!" Rini said. After some more imagining on being on an island like Lilliput, it caused Rini to doze off and go into nap mode. As a result, the waves carried Rini and her inner tube far out into the open sea.

Minutes later, the skies high above Rini began to take a turn for the worst. Dark, ominous clouds were flying in fast, and the thunder was rapidly becoming louder. The rain drops started out as a drizzle before becoming a moderate rainfall, enough to break Rini out of her sleep.
"Huh? What?" Rini said as she looked up at the dark sky and gasped.
"Oh my! A storm is coming! I better get back to shore and…" Rini said. But when she looked out in every possible direction… Raye's private island was nowhere in sight.
"*gasp* The island? Where is it!? Oh no! Did I drift out to sea again!?" Rini said.
And just as she said that, there was a brilliant flash of lightning that scared Rini literally right out of her inner tube.
"EEEEEEK!!!" Rini shouted as she tilted to the left and fell out of the inflatable tube. She tried to get back on board, but the rain immediately intensified and the wind was starting to pick up too, causing the waves to grow larger in a hurry. The waves pounded on Rini like her giant foot to a parked car, and between coughs and gasps for air, she cried for help.
"HELP!!! Somebody… please… HELP ME!!!" Rini said as she frantically swam away from an incoming large wave, but it swallowed her up instantly. She was submerged underwater for a few seconds before coming back up.
"*cough cough cough!!!* Help… me…" Rini sputtered, losing strength in a hurry to the stormy sea. After getting slammed by another large wave, Rini knew she had no chance with Raye's island nowhere in sight. She saw her vision fading to black before she finally passed out and let the current of the storm control her every move.

Later, on a faraway island where one couldn't ask for more perfect weather (bright sunny skies with not a cloud in sight), a man and a woman were walking on the beach looking out at the ocean waves crashing onshore. The woman was named Victoria and the man she was locking arms with was Damien. Remarkably, Victoria looked 100% like Serena Tsukino in her Princess Serenity outfit and Damien bore a complete resemblance to Darien in his Prince Endymion of the Earth look.
“Oh, Damien. It’s such a beautiful day.” Victoria said.
“Indeed, my sweet bunny rabbit. If only Lilliput and Blefuscu weren’t at war with each other. Our marriage would be the perfect cap off to this lovely walk.” Damien said.
“(sigh) I know. Perhaps I should try talking to my mother again. Surely she will eventually change her mind.” Victoria said.
“Perhaps, but I won’t hold my breath. I will, however, pucker my lips just for you.” Damien said.
“Awww… you’re so sweet.” Victoria said.

Just as the two turned heads so they could lean in for the kiss, Victoria suddenly had a hunch and looked over to her right several yards in front of her.
“Oh my gosh! Look, Damien!” Victoria said as she pointed to the distance. The two lovebirds got their first glimpse at the ‘giant’ Rini, who was totally unconscious and laying flat on her back with her lower legs getting hit with waves of seawater. Victoria and Damien ran towards the giantess and marveled over how big she was.
“Wow… look at the size of this little girl!” Damien said.
“Little? I would hardly call her little!" Victoria said.
"Now now, my love. You know what I mean." Damien said.
"Is she dead?" Victoria asked.
"I don't know… but this job is too big even for me. Perhaps you should alert everyone back at Lilliput." Damien said.
"But what about you?" Victoria said.
"I'll go into hiding for now, but I shall return when the time is right. Remember, I may serve the Lilliputian army, but my blood is still that of Blefuscu." Damien said.
"Okay, but be careful!" Victoria said as she watched Damien run off into the distance. Victoria, after taking a couple looks back at the pink-haired giantess and wandering how it is that her hair is similar to her own, ran back to the town where she alerted both her mother and the royal guards.

Our story moves ahead about three hours later, where over a hundred workers were busy driving stakes to the ground with many more normal citizens watching from a distance. Tied to these stakes were multiple ropes that were all pinning Rini, who was very slowly coming back to life as she could be seen lightly breathing, down to the sand. Some troops were bravely walking on Rini's body, despite her stomach heaving up and down from her light breathing, not only making sure the ropes were secure, but also laying down stones that they hoped would be heavy enough to keep Rini down in case she were to wake up. Leading the camaraderie as he walked near Rini's right hand was a white-haired man named Kunzite.
"Kunzite! We just finished tying down the last of the rope. There is no way the giant girl can escape.” the young trooper said.
“Good work, young man. Still, have the archers and spear men stand ready.” Kunzite said.
“Aye sir!” the young trooper said.
"Get the stairs ready. I'm going to try and communicate with the giant pink-haired one." Kunzite said.
"Sir… if I may, that could be very dangerous! What if she is the secret weapon sent by Blefuscu to destroy us all?" the young trooper said.
"That is what we intend to find out, and you don't get to be army general by living as a coward." Kunzite said.

Just as Kunzite made his way up the stairs and jumped onto Rini's red skirt and made his way towards her head, Rini finally opened her eyes and saw nothing but blue sky.
"Ugh… where am I? Am I still alive?" Rini asked. She tried moving around but was unable to do so. She tilted her head to the right and then to the left where she saw not only the ropes that were holding her down… but the many tiny people that were gathered just outside those ropes.
"Huh? Are those… people?" Rini asked.
"Giant pink haired one!" Kunzite shouted. Rini looked back in front of her where she saw the tiny white haired man known as Kunzite standing on her chest and pointing a sword towards her.
"Who? Me?" Rini asked.
"I am General Kunzite of the royal army of Lilliput! State your name and your business being here!" Kunzite said.
"Huh? Wait… did you say Lilliput?" Rini said.
"Yes, Lilliput! Now answer my question or you shall be beheaded!" Kunzite said.
"Okay, okay! My name is Rini." Rini said.
"Rini WHAT!?" Kunzite said. Rini was hesitant on giving her last name designated for this time period, Tsukino. She felt she had to come up with an alternative. At the same time, she could hardly believe that she was on the island of Lilliput, the same island Gulliver traveled too as told by Amy when she asked about the book earlier that day.
"Rini… Gulliver. Yeah, that's it! Rini Gulliver is my name." Rini said.
"Very well, Mrs. Gulliver. Now what is it that brings you here? Have you been sent by the army of Blefuscu!?" Kunzite said.
"What? No! I come from Crys… er… Tokyo! Tokyo is my home." Rini said.
"Hmmmm? I've never heard of this Tokyo kingdom. But how can you be sure you are not playing a trick on us? What about that spherical object that we have also confiscated!?" Kunzite said as he pointed over Rini's Luna Ball, which was also in the process of being tied down.
"Oh? That's just my Luna Ball. It has to follow me wherever I go." Rini said.
"No doubt to hide a mighty rival army, much like the Trojan Horse of days long ago!" Kunzite said.
"Really, it's just a ball! I'm not hiding anything inside it! Honest!" Rini said.

Suddenly, a loud series of horns rang out in the distance. Everyone looked to see a group of more troopers walking in. Some of them were carrying a large canopy over their shoulders, and inside that canopy was the empress of the island of Lilliput, Queen Beryl. Once the canopy was set down on the ground, Queen Beryl stepped down from her throne and approached the gigantic Rini. Kunzite jumped off the giantess and bowed down before the queen, as did everyone else on the beach.
"Queen Beryl, I live to serve only you." Kunzite said.
"At ease, General Kunzite. Thank you." Queen Beryl said.
"As you can see, we have secured the giant girl." Kunzite said.
"Good. Is she from Blefuscu?" Queen Beryl said.
"I don't think so. She claims to come from a kingdom called Tokyo." Kunzite said.
"Hmmm… interesting. Where is this Tokyo?" Queen Beryl said as she looked over at Rini's head.
"In a country called Japan… probably far, far away from here." Rini said.
"Most curious. Neither of those lands I am familiar with. Are you sure you're not playing tricks with us, young lady?" Queen Beryl said.
"No, of course not! All I want to do is find a way to return home. My friends are probably worried sick about me right now…" Rini said.
"And you are certain you are not from Blefuscu?" Queen Beryl said.
"No! I've never even heard of the island… much like this island I'm on now. I mean you no harm!" Rini said.

After thinking it over for a few more seconds, Queen Beryl finally made her decision.
"General Kunzite, you may release the girl." Queen Beryl said.
"Huh? But my queen… I must strongly disagree with that notion. We should further explore the girl's intentions, especially in regards to that giant thing she calls a 'Luna Ball', and…" Kunzite said.
"General Kunzite! Is our Lilliputian Army not the greatest in the entire world!?" Queen Beryl said.
"Of… of course not, your majesty! We could probably take on a hundred of these giants if we wanted!" Kunzite said.
"Precisely! The people of this island and I have total trust in your army. You have never let us down before, and you will not let us down now. Your archers could put that towering child to sleep in seconds, couldn't they?" Queen Beryl said.
"Yes, of course, your majesty." Kunzite said as he bowed his head.
"Good! So let the girl roam free… we trust you won't do anything foolish, right, young one?" Queen Beryl said.
"Oh no… you have my word. I'll be a good little girl… or maybe I should say big girl?" Rini said, prompting a laugh from several of the troopers and citizens nearby.
"Alright, troops, cut the ropes loose!" Kunzite said.
"Oh, don't worry about that! I can break myself loose." Rini said. With a light grunt to summon up all her strength, Rini very slowly lifted herself off from her backside, either breaking the ropes loose or pulling the stakes they were tied too out from the sand. This caused several uneasy murmurs amongst the crowd, some people even screaming for their lives.
"Archers! At the ready!" Kunzite shouted. With Rini sitting up and removing the last of the ropes from her legs, she looked down and saw the archers pointing their arrows right up at her face. She quickly held her hands up.
"Whoa! Don't shoot! I said I'll be good! Honest!" Rini shouted.
"Hold your fire, everyone!!" Queen Beryl shouted. The women then walked closer to the giantess, "I would advise you to be more careful, young lady. Our people have been a bit restless ever since the war with Blefuscu started."
"Okay… I'm sorry. I'll go a bit slower next time." Rini said. Just then, there was a loud rumbling sound that came distinctly from Rini's stomach.
"Oh my… I am kinda hungry." Rini said.
"Ha! I knew it! She has come to feast on us Lilliputians! Guards, seize…" Kunzite said, only to have one of Queen Beryl's hands raised in front of him.
"Belay that order, General Kunzite! Look at the giantess… she is not that different in appearance from the rest of us. Surely all she desires is simple run-of-the-mill food like apples and oranges. Am I right, Giant Pink Haired One!?" Queen Beryl shouted.
"Yes, yes!" Rini said as she quickly nodded her head.
"As I suspected. Now come along, everyone. We must return to the royal castle. I trust you will follow us, young one?" Queen Beryl said.
"Of course… but… um… can you please just call me Rini? Young one sounds too formal." Rini said.
"Very well, Rini. You may follow us back to the castle." Queen Beryl said. As Rini finally stood up to her full height, Kunzite continued to argue against the wishes of the empress.
"Your majesty! I must profusely protest letting the giant pink haired one roam this freely!" Kunzite said.
"Silence, Kunzite! Just have your troopers stay alert and keep their eyes on Rini. For crying out loud, you're starting to sound like Zoisite." Queen Beryl said as she got back into her canopy. Kunzite just sighed and got back to barking orders at the troops. In the meantime, Rini looked down at how small everyone looked from her heightened perspective, some of them walking near her yellow flipflops.
"Wow… everyone's so tiny. I'd play with all of them like dolls if I didn't have these army guys watching me like hawks." Rini said to herself, but smiling over the feeling of being giant, especially as she towered over the trees in the forest that she and the Lilliputians were passing by.

Eventually, everyone finally made it back to the royal castle grounds. Rini (with her Luna Ball floating alongside her) was once again astonished to find herself towering over the many buildings in the area. Of course, she enjoyed seeing the many citizens gathering around to look up at her.
"Teehee! Hello, little people! I must look pretty big from down there." Rini said as she was walking by them. Finally, they stopped at the front steps of the castle, the only structure that matched Rini's height inch for inch. A man with short blonde hair named Jadeite came out of the castle next.
"Presenting her royal majesty… Queen Beryl!" Jadeite said as he and some of the other guards blew their horns. Eventually coming out of the castle was not just Queen Beryl, but a couple other princesses as well. One of them was Victoria, and alongside her was her mother, Queen Serenity (who had exactly the same hairstyle except her hair was white instead of golden). It was interesting to Rini that she did not see a king as part of that group.
"Rini Gulliver. We welcome you humbly to the land of Lilliput." Queen Beryl said.
"T…Thank you." Rini nervously said, finally finding it in her to do a curtsy like she would do to her parents from the future.
"We bring you these gifts for not taking hostile action against our people." Queen Beryl said. With a couple claps of her hands, a few troopers came running out, each wheeling a basket full of food and large vases filled with water.
"Thank you! Even though the food is small, it should fill me up nicely." Rini said. She started to reach down and grab the food, causing the troopers to scamper out of the way, but Queen Beryl spoke out again.
"But know this, child. Every action I decree is for the good of the people of Lilliput, and if at any time I feel their lives are in jeopardy, you shall be banished from this island." Queen Beryl said.
"I understand, your majesty." Rini said. The look in the queen's eyes told Rini that she was serious… so definitely no acting like an evil giantess just because she was having fun being big this time. At the same time, she felt that would've been not much fun at all. And so she posed the important question.
"Your majesty, if I may… when will you be able to assist me in building some kind of boat that will allow me to leave this island?" Rini asked.
"Oh? Do you wish to hasten your departure off this island?" Queen Beryl said.
"No no… it's not like that. I would like to stay for a little while and get to know your people and your culture, but as I told the man named Kunzite earlier… my friends back in Tokyo are no doubt very worried about me." Rini said.
"Yes, I can such a concern. At the same time, I feel strongly that you may be of some use to my people. We will help you, but only once the time is right." Queen Beryl said.
"Thank you, your majesty." Rini said.

The 'giant pink-haired one' finally sat down (making sure nobody was behind her first) and then reached down and grabbed a handful of food, tossing it into her mouth easily. As the citizens watched, they immediately showed concern.
"Is it wise to feed this giantess as much food as she is eating?" one young man shouted.
"He's right! She'll eat every last bit of food we have, and we can't grow nearly enough food fast enough as it is!" another young man said.
"There is no need to fear, everyone. Surely our guest will be filled up after this batch of goods we have delivered." Queen Beryl said.
"Well, yes I will, but still… he brings up a good point. Perhaps I can help!" Rini shouted.
"Oh? How so?" Queen Beryl asked.
"You need more land to plant your crops! I noticed the forest was pretty dense on the way here. Perhaps I can help clear some of the trees. Then you'd have much more land to grow your crops." Rini said.
"Why… what an excellent suggestion! You are much smarter than we may have been led to believe." Queen Beryl said.
"Teehee! I may look like a kid, but I'm actually hundreds of years old." Rini said. This caused a few audible gasps from the crowd.
"My word! You must have found a fountain of youth!" Queen Serenity finally commented.
"Well, something like that. But meanwhile, thank you for this wonderful food. I'll go help clear out the trees now… if you'd like, of course." Rini said.
"Yes, by all means go on! Who are we to argue with someone of great stature and knowledge." Queen Beryl said. With a gentle nod of her head, Rini then turned around and headed out of town towards the forest area, with several of the citizens following behind no doubt to watch the giantess work her magic. The royal army, led by Kunzite, was the last to exit out of town.

For the next 30 or so minutes, Rini wasted no time in helping the citizens of Lilliput with getting more land for planting crops. Her size made it easy to pluck trees out of the ground like they were blades of grass back home. Naturally, the citizens were impressed.
"Wow! What incredible strength by the giant pink-haired one!" one man said.
"She could probably lift the giant sea beast over her head without breaking a sweat!" another man said. Kunzite, meanwhile, was just shaking his head, watching as Rini plucked trees and laid them down on their sides, anticipating the citizens would want to cut them up for firewood on a cold night.
"Bah! Our men can easily do the work that she is doing. At this rate, she'll grow an appetite to match up with her magnificent size!" Kunzite said.
"General Kunzite, if I must say… you seem rather jealous of the work she is doing for us." Nephrite said.
"When I want your opinion, Major Nephrite, I will ask for it!" Kunzite said.
"Yes, sir." Nephrite said.
Just then, Rini stopped when she sniffed out something.
"Huh? I smell something. It smells like something's burning." Rini said.
"Hmmm? We did not bring any hot coals or any other flammable material." Kunzite said.
"Perhaps it's a trick for her to sneak out of labor!" Nephrite said. Next, a series of loud bells went off in the distance. That's when Kunzite gasped.
"Oh no! The castle is under attack! That smell the giantess was talking about… it must be a fire!" Kunzite said.
"That's the burning smell I was smelling!" Rini said.
"Quick, everyone! Back to the castle, we must save our empress!" Kunzite said.
"Wait! I can help!" Rini said.
"No, you must remain here! It is much too dangerous, especially if it is the work of Blefuscu!" Kunzite said as he and every other Lilliputian ran back towards the castle grounds. Rini crossed her arms as she watched them run off and looked out in the distance as the black smoke started to become more visible.
"Pfffft… no teeny tiny general is going to tell me what to do!" Rini said as she brushed the skirt of her red two piece swimsuit and walked off towards the castle grounds.

Back at the castle grounds, Queen Beryl and Queen Serenity were both helping with the evacuation of the town as the fires grew stronger ever so slowly.
"Wait! Where is my daughter, Victoria!?" Queen Serenity said.
"Oh my! You don't suppose she got left behind at the castle?" Queen Beryl said. Sure enough, back at the castle, Victoria looked out over the balcony at the fires that were burning. On top of that, she backed away when a series of hooks suddenly latched their way onto the balcony. Victoria looked down and saw a bunch of men dressed in ninja garb, which meant only one thing to her.
"Oh no! The Blefuscudians! Someone help me!" Victoria shouted, wondering where her knight in shining armor (namely her secret boyfriend, Damien) might be.
"Oh no! Victoria!" Queen Serenity shouted. She started to run back to the castle, but Queen Beryl grabbed her by the arm.
"No, my sister! You'll burn with the castle!" Queen Beryl said.
"That is my daughter up there! You're not to stand there and tell me I cannot save my life and soul!" Queen Serenity said.
Then, before the two could argue any further, they suddenly heard a series of thundering booms. By the time they looked to see where the booms were originating from, they were inches away from a gigantic bare foot. They gasped and looked up to see the giant Rini walking right past the two.
"Careful… easy… don't step on anyone…" Rini said to herself as she looked down and made sure not to crush any of the panicking Lilliputians.

Meanwhile, the Blefuscudian ninjas were on top of the balcony, with four of the five all having a firm grip on Victoria. The fifth looked at Victoria right in the eyes as he rubbed her chin.
"Hahaha! You're coming with me, Victoria. Your capture will help us in finally taking over Lilliput." the cloaked man said.
"You'll never get away with this, you brutes!" Victoria shouted.
"And just who is going to stop us?" the man said.
"I will!" a loud female voice shouted. Everyone turned around to see it was Rini, towering over the balcony with her hands on her red skirt.
"Eeeeek! Retreat, retreat!" the man said as he and the other four ninjas tried to get away, but Rini quickly scooped them up and raised them up to her face.
"How about you guys go for a nice swim instead?" Rini said as she tossed them and heard their screaming cries until they landed in the moat at the front of the palace. She looked back at the palace where Victoria ran up to the edge of the balcony.
"Thank you, giant girl! I owe you my life!" Victoria said.
"It's my pleasure, Princess…" Rini said.
"Please, just call me Victoria." Victoria said.
"Victoria!" Queen Serenity shouted. Rini turned around to see her and Queen Beryl running up towards the back of her feet, with some of the castle troopers getting the ninjas from Blefuscu out from the moat and placing them under arrest. Rini, meanwhile, held out a hand and allowed Victoria to step on.
"Hold on, Victoria. I'll get you down quicker." Rini said. She then gently turned around and placed Victoria down on the ground, where she ran into the open arms of a very happy Queen Serenity.

"Victoria, darling! Are you alright?" Queen Serenity said.
"I am… thanks to Rini Gulliver." Victoria said as she turned around and bowed towards the giant Rini.
"Awwww… it was nothing, really!" Rini said as she bowed right back.
"Well, this is all fine and dandy, but what about our beloved town? It will take an incredible surge of water to put out this fire!" Queen Beryl said. Rini looked around and saw flames engulfing almost the entire town now. But a quick glance over to her Luna Ball gave her an idea.
"Wait! I have an idea, your majesty! Stay here!" Rini said as she carefully stepped her way over the trio and to an empty area that had not yet been covered in fire.
"Oh? What is she doing?" Victoria asked.

Rini clutched onto her Luna Ball and then started bouncing it up and down, cracking the ground ever so slightly each time the ball hit.
"Kitty Magic! I want a fire hose!" Rini shouted. As she flung the ball high in the air, it suddenly transformed into what looked like a normal fire extinguisher, except this one had a water hose attached. The citizens of Lilliput who weren't running for cover were astonished by what they saw.
"Oh my gosh! Did you see that!?" one man said.
"That giant ball just magically transformed!" one woman said.
"What sorcery is this!?" another man said. Rini, in the meantime, aimed the fire hose at the fires that were burning in front of her and pulled the trigger, sending water shooting out like it came from a waterfall. Once those fires were out, she aimed the hose at another section of the town, and so on.

After a few minutes of spraying water, the fires were completely gone. What followed next were a flurry of cheers from the tiny people around Rini's feet as she changed the fire hose back into her Luna Ball.
"Great traveler from afar, Rini Gulliver. We are in awe of your magic powers and are in your debt for saving our kingdom of Lilliput." Queen Beryl said as she and everyone else got down on one knee. Rini felt very humbled.
"Teehee… thank you! And these aren't even my hero clothes." Rini joked.
"Please, whatever you ask, we shall grant your wish." Queen Beryl said.
"Well… I kinda would like to explore this island some more. I feel like I have only scratched the surface!" Rini said.
"Very well! I shall arrange for the grand tour…" Queen Beryl said.
"Oh! That won't be necessary, your majesty. Please… let me explore on my own. I kinda want to have some alone time anyway to think about things." Rini said.
"As you wish, giant pink-haired one… I mean… the great Rini Gulliver." Queen Beryl said. Rini nodded and walked away from the town, leaving everyone to clean up the mess left behind by the fire. Well, almost everyone. Victoria ran off and started to follow the giantess.
"Victoria, where are you going?" Queen Serenity said.
"I wish to communicate more with the giantess. I want to know more about her! Where she comes from and all that…" Victoria said.
"Well, okay. But be careful!" Queen Serenity said as she watched her daughter run off into the distance.

Also watching Victoria run off was the general himself, Kunzite. He also kept a sharp eye on the giant Rini.
"That wretched fool of a giant girl… she shall pay for stealing my glory! When the time is right, I will strike and make her the enemy of Lilliput…" Kunzite said as he turned around and walked back into the castle to interrogate the Blefuscudian ninjas with his fellow troopers.

Rini found herself back on the shore that she had found her way on when she woke up earlier. She looked first back at the town of Lilliput that she could still hear celebrating, and then back out at the open ocean where the sun was setting in the distance, giving the sky a beautiful orange glow.
"Wow… I can't believe how royally I'm being treated here. Maybe I shouldn't go back home. Maybe I should stay here where I'll be happy and everyone loves me. But then again, I miss Serena and the others, and I do have a duty as Sailor Chibi-Moon to protect the world… Still, this is a land without greed or envy… a land of love… where nobody has an enemy… kinda like Crystal Tokyo…" Rini said as she took a deep breath and let the miniscule ocean waves tickle her toes.
"Oh Giant Pink-Haired One!" a female voice shouted. Rini turned around and noticed Victoria standing not too far away.
"Victoria? What are you doing here?" Rini asked.
"I… I followed you here to the beach. I wanted to get to know you better." Victoria said.
"Oh, I see. Hold on, let me pick you up." Rini said. She gently walked towards Victoria and then kneeled down, setting a hand down on the ground. Victoria once again walked onboard the hand and stood still as Rini gently stood back up.
"There, is that better?" Rini asked.
"Yes, it most definitely is. Oh, but I wouldn't have minded talking to you from ground level. I am just in awe of your magnificent size." Victoria said.
"Gee… thanks! It's nice to think that. I sometimes got teased back home for being so short even though I am so young." Rini said.
"Oh? There are people bigger than you where you come from?" Victoria said.
"Of course! This size, and a couple feet taller, is natural for everyone where I come from." Rini said.
"To think there is an entire land of giants out there… it's incredible. It would be like exploring the land of gods and goddesses!" Victoria said.
"Teehee… yeah, I guess it would for you. I mean… no offense." Rini said.
"None taken at all, Goddess Rini Gulliver!" Victoria said.
"Oh, please! Just Rini will do. You know…" Rini said.
"Yes, Rini?" Victoria said.
"You look a lot like this girl I know back home named Serena. I could almost mistake you two as twins." Rini said.
"Really? I feel very flattered. I kept thinking this hairstyle was something that only I or my mother would wear." Victoria said.
"Teehee! Nope! I mean… just look at my hair. Even my Mommy has hair very similar to yours." Rini said.
"I see… perhaps our worlds are not all that different, aside from the size differences, of course." Victoria said. Rini just smiled back at her little friend.

"Victoria!" a male voice now shouted. Victoria turned around while Rini looked ahead to see a young man with short black hair running towards them. Right away, much like with Victoria, it reminded Rini of someone.
"Daddy?" Rini said to herself.
"Oh! Damien!" Victoria said. As Rini watched Damien runs towards her feet, she instinctively kneeled down and let Victoria back down on the ground, watching as the two hugged and kissed each other. It reminded her instantly of her parents back in the future, Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymion.
"I am glad you are safe and sound. I was worried when those Blefuscudians tried to burn the town down. I almost wanted to come out of hiding." Damien said.
"I understand, Damien. It's so terrible that this war between our nations is keeping us apart like Romeo and Juliet." Victoria said. Rini gently approached the two tiny lovebirds and kneeled down before them.
"Oh… Damien, this is Rini Gulliver, the young giantess who saved my life." Victoria said.
"Ah, so the giant girl has a name. Rini, I am forever in your debt for rescuing my beloved Victoria." Damien said.
"Teehee… it was nothing, really. But I have to ask… why is Lilliput at war with this Blefuscu country?" Rini asked.
"I'm afraid it's all philosophical. The rulers of each land simply cannot agree with one or the other." Damien said.
"He is right. Everything from what color shoes to wear to what side of the egg should be cracked before breakfast! It has driven me mad, I must admit." Victoria said.
"Is that so? Where I come from, everyone and everybody has a choice, and no matter what the differences are, we learn to respect them." Rini said.
"Oh, Rini… you must live in the perfect dream world… a world full of peace and harmony." Victoria said.
"Well, kinda. There are still those that want to break the peace and destroy the world, but luckily there are good people… myself included, who strive to defend that peace." Rini said.
"Still, despite all this bloodshed, I have a plan." Damien said.
"Huh? A plan?" Rini asked.
"I hope to one day challenge General Kunzite to a battle. By defeating him, it is my hope that Queen Beryl will make me the new army general, which will bring me one step closer to becoming Prime Minister." Damien said. Victoria nodded as she continued Damien's train of thought.
"And once he is Prime Minister, he can negotiate a peace treaty between our nations, thus leading to peace and prosperity. Then we can finally get married!" Victoria said.
"Wow! Sounds like a great plan! I have confidence you will succeed." Rini said.
"But if I don't…" Damien said.
"Don't say that, Damien! You must be strong. Not just for me, but for all of Lilliput." Victoria said as she gave the man a quick kiss on the cheek.

Meanwhile, a short distance away, General Kunzite was watching as the pink-haired giantess continued to converse with both Victoria and Damien. The sight of the giant Rini was bad enough for Kunzite, but seeing Damien flirt with Victoria, the woman he was destined to marry by law, made him clench one of his hands into a fist.
"Arrrrrgh! How dare that giant girl try to push my beloved towards that lowly Blefuscudian! I should report this to the queen… although…" Kunzite said. As he turned around and headed back to the castle grounds, he suddenly got an idea. And the moment he got into the basement of the castle, he put his alternate plan into action.
"I shall test the giant girl's resolve against the Blefuscudian Navy. Surely she and her magic will wipe them out overnight!" Kunzite said to himself as he pulled down several huge switches.

About a mile off the Lilliput coast, a series of barriers suddenly came into view, along with the whole island itself. This did not escape the watchful eyes of a few sailors onboard their ship.
"Captain! Captain, come quick!" one of the men shouted.
"What is it, sailor?" the older man, seemingly the Captain of the ship, said.
"Look! The island of Lilliput reveals itself!" the man shouted.
"Oh my… their defense system must be getting rusty!" another man said.
"Nevertheless, we must take advantage of this opportunity! All ahead flank with all the ships!" the Captain said.
"Aye aye, sir!" the man shouted as he the others scrambled like crazy to get to battle stations.

Several minutes later, as Victoria, Damien, and the giant Rini all were walking back onto the castle grounds, the group suddenly stopped when a loud alarm suddenly went blaring off.
"Huh? What's that?" Rini asked.
"Oh my… I haven't heard that sound in a while!" Victoria said.
"That's the sound of a Naval attack… at least in Blefucsu it is!" Damien said. Just as he said that, Rini looked up and saw cannonballs raining from the sky.
"Watch out!" Rini shouted as she quickly scooped up her two little friends and cradled them against her stomach.
"Those were cannonballs! It is a Naval attack!" Damien said.
"The Blefuscudians are attacking again! But how?" Victoria said.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Damien said.
"We have a defense system that hides our island from the views of battleships, helping greatly minimize attacks from sea!" Victoria said.
"That defense system must've failed somehow!" Damien said.
"Victoria!" a male voice shouted. Rini looked to see General Kunzite, Queen Beryl, Queen Serenity, and a few dozen citizens all running towards her.
"Oh! The queen! You must let me get away so I cannot be seen!" Damien said. With a quick nod, Rini kneeled down and placed one hand holding Damien behind her back, allowing him to jump off and blend in with the panicking crowd. Her other hand was in front of her body, allowing Victoria to jump down and reunite with her mother.

"General Kunzite!" Victoria said.
"I am glad you are safe and sound. That attack came without warning." Kunzite said.
"Not to mention our Naval defense system failing. What a bad time for it to go down like that!" Queen Serenity shouted.
"We can worry about that later! General Kunzite, you must get your men to the battleships immediately!" Queen Beryl said.
"I shall, my queen, but this attack came so suddenly… we might not have enough time to prepare our own fleet!" Kunzite said.
"He's right, your majesty! Please… let me help!" Rini said.
"Oh, are you sure? We do not wish to further bog you down…" Queen Beryl said.
"It's okay. With my size and the powers of my Luna Ball, I think I can handle a few dozen ships at sea." Rini said as she winked one of her shining eyes down at the tiny people. That seemed have a hypnotic feeling on Queen Beryl.
"Oh, then by all means! You do not mind, General Kunzite?" Queen Beryl asked.
"Not at all, your majesty. We could use all the help we can get!" Kunzite said.
"Alright then, here I go!" Rini said as she straightened out both parts of her swimsuit and slipped her feet out of her yellow sandals before marching off towards the shoreline. Her size meant the water only came up to her knees, even as she closed in on the battleships.

Naturally, the men on the ships stopped their firing when they saw the giantess approach. They looked up in awe and also tried to stay standing on their feet at the same time, as Rini's huge size caused waves in the water to surge forward and rock the ships.
"Great people of Blue fuss… um… whatever you call your nation… I am Rini. Rini Gulliver, to be precise." Rini said, remembering to use the name she made up for Lilliput.
"Giant pink-haired monster! We will take this land that rightfully belong to us!" one of the men shouted.
"Please, I don't want to fight you. Turn away and I will spare your ships." Rini said.
"The Blefuscudians will never surrender! Open fire, gentlemen!" the man shouted. Suddenly, each and every one of the ships started shooting cannonballs up at the giantess. Rini grabbed her nose as she felt one of the cannonballs strike it.
"Ow! Hey!" Rini shouted. She found herself holding other parts of her skin and swimsuit as they too got struck with an onslaught of cannonballs. Despite feeling the cannonballs hit her, all of them bounced off her skin and fell harmlessly into the water. As Rini felt the onslaught stop, she suddenly looked at the closest ship to her and managed to catch one of the cannonballs between her fingers.
"Okay… don't say I didn't warn you!" Rini shouted as she flung the cannonball back to the ship, damaging a good portion of it. Rini tried dumping handfuls of water onto the ships to wash away the soldiers onboard the ships. It worked for a very short while, as the cannonballs continued to pelt her and make her uncomfortable.
"Alright, there's more than one way to skin some ships! Kitty Magic!" Rini shouted as she grabbed her floating Luna Ball and tossed it straight up in the air.
"I want a powerful fan!" Rini shouted. The Luna Ball then transformed into a portable electric fan, similar in looks to a traditional standup fan, but small enough to fit in Rini's hand (and without a power cord too). Rini flipped the switch on the back of the fan, and a powerful gust of wind came from the blades of the fan. Rini aimed the fan at the ships and watched as they sailed backwards, with the crews of these ships fighting to stay on the deck.
"Retreat! Retreat!" one of the men shouted as they fought to get the ship turned away before they could take on another huge gust of wind from Rini's fan.

Eventually, the ships were far enough away from Lilliput Island. Rini watched as they sailed away while the fan she was holding changed back into her Luna Ball.
"And don't come back!" Rini shouted. As the giantess walked back towards Lilliput, she could already hear a flurry of cheers from the tiny people. When Rini got back to shore and slipped her feet back into her yellow sandals, she bowed her head towards these people.
"Thank you! Thank you very much!" Rini said.
"Oh, magnificent giant beauty known as Rini Gulliver, we are forever in your debt!" Queen Beryl shouted.
"Teehee, it was nothing really. I'll do whatever I can to protect your land from those who want to take it!" Rini said.
"It is your display of courage and bravery that we shall hold a parade in your honor! Come! Let us all return to the castle for a most important ceremony!" Queen Beryl said as she and the throngs of other people all made their way back to the castle.

Minutes later, with the moonlight shining down from the sky, Rini was already back at the castle, standing with her hands on her hips and her legs apart as she watched groups of people and guards walk either between or around her giant sandaled feet. Many of them were singing a song or two praising the 'mighty Rini Gulliver.' She couldn't help but giggle as she listened to the singing and watched the people (especially fellow children) walk between her legs like they were walking underneath an arch in an American city (like that placed called St. Louis, she thought). Eventually, there were no more people to pass by, and the horns trumpted out loud as Queen Beryl and the other members of the royal family all walked up to the edge of the balcony. Rini got down on one knee as she focused in on the tiny people in front of her.
"We owe our freedom to you, Rini Gulliver! For your bravery and sacrifice in disposing of the Blefuscudian Navy, I now present the hero's medal given only to the bravest and most victorious in the Lillputian Army! General Kunzite, I require the Nardac medal!" Queen Beryl said.
"Yes, your majesty. I have it right here." Kunzite said as he opened up one of his hands and revealed a bronze medal with the word NARDAC emblazoned on the front, plus a shining star on the top. Queen Beryl took the medal and held her hand up high as close as she could to Rini.
"I apologize that it is not of a size befitting your magnificent towering figure…" Queen Beryl said.
"Oh, it's okay, your majesty. I understand. Just drop it on my hand." Rini said as she moved a hand towards the balcony. Queen Beryl did just that, dropping the medal onto the palm of Rini's giant hand. As the crowd cheered loudly, Rini gently picked up the medal between two of her fingers and looked at it as best as she could.
"Wow…" Rini said. Suddenly she found herself wiping a tear away from her left eye, something that was caught immediately by Queen Serenity.
"Oh? Is something wrong, Rini?" Queen Serenity said.
"No, no… it's just… you've all been so nice and welcoming to me. This is the first medal I've gotten anywhere in my life. It makes me feel very special." Rini said.
"Well, you are indeed a special person. It is a shame you cannot stay with us forever." Queen Beryl said.
"Well… I suppose I could stay for a few more days…" Rini said.
"Excellent! Tonight we shall party in your honor!" Queen Beryl said.
"Thank you, your majesty… but I must be getting some sleep soon. It has been a long day, after all…" Rini said.
"Ah, I understand. Even mighty heroes must rest up for the next day to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead of you. We shall prepare sleeping arrangements for you after we party in your honor!" Queen Beryl said.
"Thank you, your majesty!" Rini said. She stuffed the NARDAC medal into the top half of her swimsuit for safekeeping until she could figure out what to do with it.

After the aforementioned party went on (with Rini just standing or sitting and watching the people dance, sing, and play in her honor), everyone returned to their houses in the castle grounds to go to sleep themselves. Rini was given an entire empty square to lay flat on her back and drift off to sleep, letting the thoughts and imaginations of the dream world and the night sky bring her asleep. In the middle of that late night, Kunzite and three of his top commanders all walked out towards the giantess.
"Good, she's finally in a deep sleep. We strike now, gentlemen." Kunzite said.
"General Kunzite, are you sure this is a good idea?" Zoisite said.
"I must agree with Zoisite. This idea could be very dangerous." Nephrite said.
"Not if we work together. That magic shape shifting ball is just what we need to finally strike bring Lilliput and Blefuscu under a single rule… our rule!" Kunzite said.
"But are you sure you can wield the power of that ball all by yourself? Perhaps one of us should stay behind…" Jadeite said.
"No! We stick to the plan. Once the ball is under my control, you will sail off to Blefuscu and inform the royal troupe of our vision." Kunzite said.
"Aye aye, sir!" Zoisite said.
And with that, the four generals sprung into action. They unleashed powerful bolts of electricity from their respective swords, trapping the Luna Ball inside. The Luna Ball rocked and rolled back and forth, letting loose a series of squealing sounds like it was crying for help, but was unable to break out of its electrical bondages. Stunningly, even to the four generals, Rini stayed in a deep sleep throughout the entire ordeal.
Finally, the Luna Ball gave up and sat perfectly still. That's when Kunzite walked up to the very front of the giant spherical object, looking at it in the eyes.
"You will obey only my commands or you will be destroyed. Do you perfectly understand?" Kunzite asked. A few seconds later, the crescent moon on the top of the Luna Ball went from its usual golden self to flipping upside down and colored black… much like the time a little while back when Rini was transformed into Wicked Lady.
"Oh? The moon on its forehead changed to black." Nephrite said.
"Good, that's the surest sign it will obey me." Kunzite said. Soon, the electric bondages were released and the Luna Ball was able to roam free, but it sat still, likely waiting for a command from Kunzite.
"Alright, you three. Phase one is complete. Off to Blefescu you go! And make it fast… we only have a few hours before the sun rises!" Kunzite shouted.
"Aye aye, sir!" the other three generals said as they marched off away from the castle grounds.
"Alright, magical ball, follow me. We must make preparations for phase two the following morning." Kunzite said as he walked off the grounds himself, with the giant Luna Ball rolling behind him.

With the sun shining on her closed eyes, Rini let out a big yawn as she opened up her eyes and gazed upon the morning sunrise. Even from within the castle walls, the sunrise looked beautiful from a distance.
"Mmmmm… what a beautiful sunrise. It's just like back home." Rini said. She then moved her right arm over and noticed something important missing.
"Huh? Luna Ball?" Rini asked. Just as she was quickly scanning the area trying to find the ball, she watched as the royal trio of Queen Beryl, Queen Serenity, and Victoria all approached the young giantess.
"Good morning, Rini Gulliver! Did you rest well?" Queen Beryl asked.
"Yes, your majesty, I did! Thank you." Rini said with a quick smile before she wiped it off and got back to searching the ground.
"Is there something wrong, Rini?" Queen Serenity asked.
"Well, kinda. I seem to have misplaced my Luna Ball." Rini said.
"Oh? Isn't that shaped like a cat's head and has the power to transform into anything you wish?" Queen Beryl said.
"Yes, that's it." Rini said.
"I see. Do not worry, I shall have the royal guards begin a search immediately for your precious ball." Queen Beryl said.
"Thanks, your majesty!" Rini said.

But before anyone could move another muscle to begin the search, there was suddenly another set of booming steps that were slowly getting louder and louder. The ground also slightly shook with each boom, similar to when Rini is taking steps around the area.
"What… what is this!? An earthquake?" Queen Beryl said.
"Look!" Victoria shouted as she pointed to the opposite direction of where Rini was standing. The giant pink-haired one turned around and saw what was coming. It was a giant robot, built to look almost exactly like Kunzite.
"Hello, giant pink-haired one, or maybe it is now just pink-haired one." Kunzite said as he voice came booming out from a loudspeaker somewhere on the robot.
"Kunzite! What madness is this!?" Queen Beryl shouted.
"Rini Gulliver, I challenge you to a duel!" Kunzite said. Rini, meanwhile, was scanning the robot from top to bottom. That's when she lightly gasped.
"You! You've stolen my Luna Ball!" Rini said.
"Hmmhmmhmm… correct, child. While you slept, I took command of your magical transforming ball with a little magic of my own. Even I was impressed that this thing can become a super giant fighting robot with just a simple wish." Kunzite said.
"But why? Why are you doing this?" Rini said as she clutched her hands together, watching as the tiny people of Lilliput ran around the giant robot's feet.
"You have taken away what is rightfully mine. Glory for all of Lilliput! I would've been the first five-star general in all the land, but you had to come in and steal the glory!" Kunzite said.
"General Kunzite! You know that is not true! Our giant friend was merely at the right place at the right time. She has the power and courage of a thousand men… we could not possibly defeat the Blefuscudians without her timely assistance!" Queen Serenity said.
"Enough! Challenge me, Rini, NOW!" Kunzite said.
"And if I don't?" Rini asked.
"Then I shall become the supreme ruler of this island without fail. And any who oppose me…" Kunzite said.

That's then the giant robot raised his foot and crushed a few panicking citizens flat. Rini and the others gasped loudly.
"How dare you, General Kunzite! You swore to protect those people!" Queen Beryl said, now looking very much angry.
"Silence, Beryl! I no longer have to take orders from you!" Kunzite said.
"Leave them alone!" Rini shouted as she suddenly charged forward and tried punching the robot standing in front of her. But instead…
"OW!!!" Rini said as she rubbed the hand she tried to punch with.
"Hahaha! I made sure to mention to your lovely ball to give my robot the toughest armor in the entire planet!" Kunzite said as he next gave Rini a shove, pushing her back and causing her to crash against one of the castle walls.
"Luna Ball! It's me, Rini! Listen to my voice!" Rini shouted.
"It's no use! The Luna Ball only obeys ME now!" Kunzite said as the robot quickly approached and gave Rini a few swift punches in the face.
"Ow! Ow! OUCH!!!" Rini said.
"Fight back, Rini! Fight back!!!" Victoria shouted. But Rini was simply no match for Kunzite's robot. Although she didn't have any blood marks on her face, all that vicious beating was quickly tiring her out. Rini tried transforming into her sailor scout self, but suddenly found herself being lifted off the ground by the robot. Kunzite spun his robot 360 degrees a few times with Rini helplessly overhead.
"And now the finishing blow!" Kunzite said as he finally threw Rini against the main tower of the castle. This portion of the castle crumbled apart as Rini landed head first over the structure.

Seconds passed, and Rini was laying motionless before the giant robot. Victoria called out to the giantess in despair.
"Rini, get up! Please get up!" Victoria shouted. Queen Beryl was quite furious with what she had just seen.
"Guards! Seize that giant robot!" Queen Beryl shouted. But Kunzite was ready for such a command, and a snap of the robot fingers put that plan to a halt right away.
"Oh, I think not. I made some new friends overnight." Kunzite said.
Suddenly, the castle grounds were swarming with troops from Blefuscu, all being led by either Jadeite, Nephrite, or Zoisite.
"The Blefuscudians!" Queen Serenity shouted.
"Traitor! I will see to it that you pay for all this!!!" Queen Beryl shouted up to the Kunzite robot, which Kunzite himself jumped out of and landed in front of Queen Beryl and Queen Serenity. Very quickly he held a sword in front of their necks.
"The only payment I will be making is your lives if you and the rest of Lilliput do not accept the new reign of Kunzite, King of Lilliput!" Kunzite said. The white-haired general then walked over to a visibly frightened Victoria.
"And now, sweet and lovely Victoria, we shall fall in love as we are destined to be. No more waiting until the 'right time.'" Kunzite said.
"No! I won't let you!" a male voice suddenly shouted.

Damien came charging through his fellow soldiers of the Blefuscu army, but was immediately held back by the combined might of Jadeite, Nephrite, and Zoisite.
"Ahhhh… Damien. Just as I predicted, the white knight has come to save his princess." Kunzite said.
"What!? You mean you knew?" Damien said.
"Of course, young man! You cannot hide a human emotion from me. But it matters not! Victoria is mine, as the Lilliputian law dictates!" Kunzite said.
"You're wrong, General! Marriage should not be bound by any law! A man and a woman should have the right to fall in love with each other no matter where they come from!" Damien said.
"Enough of this foolishness! Throw them all in the dungeon at once!" Kunzite said. The numerous troops did just that, marching off towards the castle walls with Queen Beryl, Queen Serenity, Victoria, Damien, and many other surviving citizens awaiting their dark confinements.
"What about the giant pink-haired one, General Kunzite?" Zoisite asked.
"Cast her away to the Forbidden Island. The island of Brogdingnag." Kunzite said.
"Aye, sir!" Zoisite said.

As more of the island of Lilliput fell under Kunzite's evil rule, the unconscious Rini, meanwhile, was laying on a giant wooden raft (but she wasn't tied down) that started out as tied to two ships belonging to Blefuscu. Eventually, the ropes were broken off and Rini was helplessly drifting away from the island that treated her like a friendly goddess.

When Rini finally woke up, it was just like when she arrived in Lilliput. The sky was as blue as can be. She was laying on the sand of a shoreline, judging by the waves crashing all over her swimsuit. Rini got up and looked around, trying to figure out where she was, and if she was even still on Lilliput.
"Hello!? Somebody!? Anybody?" Rini shouted. She walked around the sand, eventually climbing over a series of rocks, trying to find any sort of life no matter what size it was. It had briefly occurred to her that maybe she was back home on Raye's private island, but she would've instantly recognized it by now. One feeling that she was overcome with was loneliness. She didn't even have her Luna Ball with her, after it was taken away by those evil generals from Lilliput. She wondered how she was going to explain this to Sailor Pluto and her parents from the future.
Eventually, she finally came across what appeared to be a couple romantically sitting and looking at the trees in the distance.
"Oh… thank goodness. Maybe I can get some answers from that older couple." Rini said. She walked towards the man first and poked on his shoulder.
"Um… excuse me? Can you tell me where…?" Rini said, but after poking the man a couple more times, he suddenly fell flat on his back. When Rini looked at his face, she lightly gasped.
"Huh? A doll?" Rini said to herself. She ran over to the woman and this time just looked at her face. It clearly resembled that of a wooden doll.
"Another doll… but they're really big to be dolls." Rini said. As she continued to wonder about the dolls, suddenly a dark shadow was cast over her, blocking all sunlight. When Rini turned around, that's when she really gasped.
"*GASP!*" Rini gasped. She couldn't tell entirely because of the sunlight reflections, but it appeared to be a giant girl. She was wearing black shoes, dark purple pants, a black skirt, a black shirt with a white flower attached above the chest area, and a large hat with a red bow tie on the side. When the girl reached down to pick Rini up, Rini screamed.
"Eeeeeeek!!!" Rini shouted as she turned around and ran away. The giant girl picked up the two wooden dolls and then looked over at Rini after cradling the dolls against her chest with her left arm.
"Oh, don't run away, little girl!" the girl said as she walked after Rini.

Of course, the size difference between the two meant that Rini had no chance to get away. Finally, after Rini tripped on a large clump of sand, she looked back and saw the girl reaching down to pick her up. That's when Rini crouched down to the ground. She felt herself rising into the air as the giant girl moved her hand closer to her face. When Rini felt the rising stop, she turned around and pleaded for mercy.
"Please! Don't hurt me! I'm just trying to get home and…" Rini said, but she stopped when she got a closer look at the giant girl's head. Her short black hair immediately got her thinking of one of her good friends.
"Hotaru?" Rini asked.
"Huh? Hotaru? Who is that?" the giant girl said. That got Rini thinking back to Lilliput, where some of the people she befriended looked like people she knew, and yet they had completely different names. This was probably one of those situations, she thought.
"N…Nothing. It's just… you look so much like my friend who has that name." Rini said.
"Ah, I see. It's okay, I forgive you. I'm always mixing up names myself." the giant girl said. Right then and there, the ice was broken, and Rini started to feel more comfortable.
"Wow… you're so big… this isn't Lilliput, I take it?" Rini said.
"Huh? Lilliput? Is that where you come from?" the giant girl said.
"Well, kinda. Say, what's your name?" Rini said.
"It's Glumdalclitch, but you can just call me Glum if that's too hard for you. And yours?" Glumdalclitch, aka Glum, said.
"Rini. It's nice to meet you, Glum." Rini said.
"So, Rini. Are all people in this land you call Lilliput as small as you?" Glum asked.
"Well, it's kinda a long story. Actually, I need to get back to Lilliput so I can save everyone!" Rini said.
Suddenly, another female voice came from in the distance.
"Glumdalclitch, dinner time!" the female voice said.
"Coming, Aunt Haruka!" Glum shouted as she turned her head. Glum then took off the hat she was wearing and flipped it upside down.
"Huh? What are you doing?" Rini said.
"You can stay in here until after dinner, then we can talk a little more." Glum said. She casually dropped Rini inside, and Rini held on as Glum put her hat back on. Rini found herself holding onto the many strands of Glum's black hair as she bounced up and down from Glum running back to her home.

Eventually, Glum made it back home and ran up the stairs where two older women were waiting for her. One had short blonde hair and was taller than the other woman, plus she was wearing a shirt, a jacket, and pants that made her look more like a man. The other girl had sea green colored hair, a red shirt with green bowtie, and a long green skirt. Of course, we know them as Haruka and Michiru (or Amara and Michelle in the dub), and those were their names on this island as well.
"Did you have fun on your beach walk, Glumdalclitch?" Haruka asked.
"Of course, Auntie Haruka! What are we eating tonight?" Glum asked.
"Your favorite. Nihon soba." Michiru added.
"Yay!" Glum shouted. She, Haruka, and Michiru all eventually walked back inside their little beachside cottage. Glum took off her hat, tilting her head forward to make sure Rini was inside it. Once she was, Glum walked over to the dinner table and placed the hat down on the ground, trapping Rini inside again.
"Just wait here until dinner is done." Glum whispered.
"Can't you just show me to your aunts?" Rini said.
"I can't… there's a law where all tiny people have to be shown to the queen. It's best that you're my little secret for the time being." Glum said. She quickly lowered the hat down to the ground just as Haruka and Michiru came back in.
"Glumdalclitch, are you talking to your dolls again?" Michiru asked.
"Yes, yes of course! I'll go put them away now!" Glum said as she ran upstairs to put her wooden dolls away.
"Such a vivid imagination that child has." Haruka said.
"I know. You would think she was from Saturn or somewhere like that." Michiru said as she took a couple bites out of nearby sashimi.

Eventually, the three ladies were all sitting at the dinner table, talking about random subjects such as life for the others on the island. Rini would occasionally poke her head out of Glum's hat and look up at the other two giantesses.
"Amara? Michelle? They're big too… just like this house? What's going on? What island is this?" Rini said, but she quickly tucked herself back inside the hat when she saw Michiru rotating her head towards her. Rini hoped that she hadn't been spotted, but eventually her luck was going to run out.
"Oh? Glumdalclitch, why is your hat sitting on the floor? I'll pick it up for you." Michiru said, but Glum quickly put one of her feet on the side of the hat.
"No! Wait! Just leave it down there for now. It's okay." Glum said. Haruka wasn't so fooled easily.
"Glumdalclitch, dear. Are you hiding something from us?" Haruka said.
"N-n-n-n-no! Of course not!" Glum said with an obvious tone of nervousness in her voice.
"Oh, Glumdalclitch. You know how awful it is to lie. We've always taught you to tell the truth, correct?" Michiru said. Glum knew there was no keeping this kind of secret from her very smart aunts.
"Yes, Auntie Michiru, you're right. Okay, I'll show you what I found." Glum said.

That's when Glum lifted up her hat and gently picked up the tiny Rini, setting her down on the table for the other two ladies to clearly see.
"Um… hi." Rini said as she waved awkwardly up to Haruka and Michiru.
"Oh my! A shrunken little girl." Haruka said.
"Her name is Rini. I found her talking to my dolls during my beach walk." Glum said.
"Well then, it's nice to meet you, Rini. Do you have a last name?" Michiru said. Once again, Rini thought better of using her real last name.
"G-G-Gulliver. Rini Gulliver is my name. I just want to go back home to Tokyo." Rini said.
"Tokyo? What a strange name for an island." Haruka said.
"I'm afraid none of us have heard of that place before." Michiru said.
"Um… where am I, anyway?" Rini said.
"This is the island of Brobdingnag!" Glum said.
"And I guess everyone is a giant or giantess on this island?" Rini asked.
"Well, to you, yes. Honestly, it's not very often that little people like you visit, let alone this very cottage." Michiru said.
"Still, you know we have to show this person to the queen." Haruka said as she looked over at Glum, who took Rini into her hands and cradled her against her chest.
"Awwww… can't we keep her? She'd be the perfect partner for tea time!" Glum said. Michiru leaned over and placed a hand on one of Glum's arms.
"Now now, Glumdalclitch. You know it's the law that all tiny people and animals are to be brought to the queen and become her property." Michiru said.
"(sigh) I understand." Glum said.
"Come on. You and I will go to the palace together. You don't mind staying behind, Haruka?" Michiru said.
"Sure, I'll clean up." Haruka said. Haruka stayed at the table to clean up the empty places while Glum and Michiru got up and left the cottage to head for the castle. Rini was now sitting on Glum's shoulder and just holding on for the ride.

Later, after passing by the guards when the tiny Rini was shown off, Glum and Michiru both were directed into the castle and eventually into the throne room. It was there that Rini saw many more familiar faces who were also gigantic. First, sitting at the throne appeared to be Kaolinite in her usual red dress and high-heeled red shoes. Standing nearby were two other members of the Death Busters, Mimete and Eudial. Glum and Michiru walked past a small model castle on the right and a group of cages (some of them containing some unusual looking animals) on the left, then they both got down on one knee.
"Queen Kaolinite, we bring you a gift as required by the laws of Brobdingnag." Michiru said. Kaolinite got up from her throne and approached the two girls, with Mimete and Eudial behind her. She looked down in Glum's hand at the tiny Rini, who shivered nervously given the evil roots of the three other giantesses where she originally came from.
"Oh! She looks sooooooo cute!" Mimete shouted.
"For once I agree with you, Mimete. It's not often we get tiny visitors with pink hair." Eudial said.
"What's your name, little girl?" Kaolinite said.
"Rini Gulliver… um, your highness." Rini said as she nervously bowed before the giantess.
"Awwww… isn't that cute!? She said your highness! And the way she bows is sooooooo cute!" Mimete said.
"Mimete, you're such an airhead sometimes." Eudial said.
"HEY! You take that back, Eudial, you weasel, you!" Mimete shouted.
"Enough bickering, you two." Kaolinite calmly said. She then picked up Rini from Glum's hands and inspected her more closely.

"Hmmm… this is a most interesting outfit you are wearing, Mrs. Gulliver." Kaolinite said.
"Actually, it's my swimsuit. I wear it when I am going into the water." Rini said.
"Oh? A different article of clothing just for going into the water? What a fascinating concept." Kaolinite said.
"And yet it is not the Brobdingnagian way, your majesty! Perhaps our little guest is a witch!" Eudial said.
"What!? No! I'm not! All I want is a way to return to Lilliput. My friends there are in trouble and I must save them!" Rini said.
"Lilliput? Where the heck is that!? It must be hundreds of miles away!" Mimete shouted.
"I'm afraid my young apprentice is right. Without knowing where Lilliput is, we cannot help you. But rest assured, you will find your new life here on Brobdingnag a most pleasant one." Kaolinite said with a smile. She walked over to the model castle and set her down there near the entrance.
"In fact, this castle shall be your new home from this day forward." Kaolinite said. She then looked over at Glum and Michiru.
"And for you two ladies, as thanks for your delivery, I shall reward you 500 golden coins." Kaolinite said.
"Oh, thank you, Queen Kaolinite! We definitely can use the gold coins." Michiru said. Glum, on the other hand, did not look so happy.
"No! I don’t want to sell her. I found her fair and square!” Glum said.
“Now now, little girl. You know full well the law of Brobdingnag. Only our beloved Queen Kaolinite can keep all little people that are found.” Mimete said.
“Perhaps we can interest you in one of the queen’s fine animals that she has collected. Surely that will bestow much happiness to your life.” Eudial said.
“NO! I want to keep Rini. It's not fair… you grownups take everything from us children. You never ask. You just take! Sometimes I wish children had their own queen for their own needs.” Glum said as she folded her arms together.
“Oh! Please forgive me, Queen Kaolinite! Glumdalclitch only speaks for herself and not for my entire household.” Michiru said.
“It's quite alright, young lady. I understand her frustration, and I will prove to you that I am everyone's queen.” Kaolinite said.
“Huh?” Glum asked.
“I will allow you to stay in the castle for a while. In fact, I will make you the tiny pink haired one’s personal bodyguard.” Kaolinite said with a smile. Glum immediately smiled right back.
“You'd do that? Oh, thank you! Thank you, your highness! I will protect them with my life!” Glum said.
“Heh heh, I doubt you will have to go that far.” Kaolinite said.
“Oh, is that okay, Auntie Michiru? Can I stay here in the castle and look after Rini?” Glum said.
“Of course, my dear, if it will make you very happy.” Michiru said as she gave Glum a hug.
“Eudial! Mimete! See to it that a room is prepared for our new guests.” Kaolinite said.
“Yes, your majesty!” Both ladies said. The two, along with a couple other giantesses, wheeled the small castle down the hall to where it and Glum would be staying for the time being. Rini, meanwhile, took shelter inside the castle as she didn't feel comfortable looking up at all the giant women that were around her.

Later, when Rini felt the rolling of the castle stop, she looked out one of the windows where she saw Glum looking inside.
“Well, Rini, here we are. I hope you'll find it comfortable.” Glum said. Rini stared at Glum’s huge face for a few seconds. She took a bit of comfort knowing that this giantess looked exactly like Hotaru, one of her best friends.
"Oh, Hotar… er, I mean, Glum… I appreciate all you're trying to do with me. But I can't stay here. Lilliput needs me… and so do my friends back in Tokyo. I must find a way to leave soon." Rini said.
"I'm sorry, Rini. I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better… hey, wait! I got an idea! Can you please come stand outside the castle?" Glum said. Rini did just that as she stepped outside the castle, looking out in the distance as Glum looked to be getting some things here and there. Eventually she came back to the castle and dropped objects like a table, a set of teacups, her two wooden dolls, and a blue and white dress… all suiting Rini's size perfectly.
"Go ahead, put the dress on. It's my gift to you!" Glum said. Rini walked over and studied the dress from top to bottom.
"Well, okay… I suppose I can't wear just this swimsuit forever." Rini said. Rather than take off the swimsuit, she slipped into the dress until it was entirely on, with only her yellow flipflops still visible. Rini walked over and took her place at the table, along with the other wooden dolls.
"Heeheehee, you look kinda cute, Rini. You're going to make such a fine daughter to Mommy Doll and Daddy Doll." Glum said.
"Errr… whatever you say!" Rini said. And so the show went on for about an hour, although it felt like an eternity for Rini, who played along as best as she could with the 'tea time' play.

Finally, the sun set on the day, and Rini watched as Haruka and Michiru walked in towards Glum.
"Hello, Auntie Haruka and Auntie Michiru!" Glum said.
"Hey there, kiddo. Just checking in and making sure you're okay." Haruka said as she rubbed the top of Glum's head.
"Glumdalclitch, everyone has been treating you well?" Michiru asked.
"Oh, of course! The queen and everyone here has been very generous." Glum said.
"And how about your new little friend?" Haruka asked.
"Oh, I've taken good care of her. Even though she's small, she's the greatest friend I've ever had." Glum said with a smile.
"That's wonderful. Well, if you need anything, you know where we live." Michiru said. Haruka, meanwhile, walked over towards the castle and leaned in towards the tiny Rini.
"You be good to Glumdalclitch, you hear? This is the happiest we've ever seen her." Haruka said.
"Of… of course!" Rini said nervously. Haruka, who was Amara back home, had always been a bit of an intimidating figure, she thought, but seeing her so big and her head so close was something else.

Night fell on the island of Brobdingnag, and Glum was fast asleep with her head facing the nearby open window. Rini, on the other hand, was still awake with a sad look on her face. She switched looking between her short black-haired giant protector and the moonlight shining through the open window.
"(sigh) Am I going to be stuck here forever? Maybe I should just find my way home… no, I have to return to Lilliput. Not only to get my Luna Ball back but save the island from Kunzite… I wish I knew what to do." Rini said, and the more she thought about things, the more distraught she felt mentally, which made her sigh more and more.
But at that moment, Rini looked out the window where a shining light was making its way inside and towards the castle where Rini was staying. The ball of light suddenly let out a very familiar neighing sound and then formed into the white horse that immediately brought a smile to Rini's face.
"Pegasus!" Rini shouted as she ran over and hugged it in the head.
"Yes, Rini. I am here." Pegasus said.
"Oh, Pegasus. You are a sight for sore eyes." Rini said.
"Rini, did I sense despair a short while ago?" Pegasus said.
"Yes… I feel so powerless here on this island. I have to get back to Lilliput and rescue not only my Luna Ball but all the people there. Can you… can you help me?" Rini said.
"Of course, Rini. I am always here to help wherever I can." Pegasus said.
"Thank you, Pegasus! But… do you know where Lilliput is?" Rini said.
"Don't worry about that. I will get you there in short time." Pegasus said. Rini nodded her head, and after slipping out of her blue and white Alice-like dress, leaving her back in her swimsuit, Rini climbed on Pegasus's back and held on for the ride.
However, just before they could fly out the open window, they both suddenly heard a female voice.
"Oh! Wait, Rini!" the voice said. Pegasus and Rini both turned around, stopping in mid-air, and looked back at Glum, who was suddenly awake and sitting up on her bed.

"Glum! You're awake?" Rini said.
"Rini… where are you going? Who is that you're riding?" Glum asked. Rini sighed… she knew Glum was not going to take this well.
"This is my friend, Pegasus. He's going to take me back to Lilliput." Rini said.
"But why? Why can't you stay here? Why?" Glum asked with a sad look on her face. It took Rini a few seconds before she finally answered.
"The people of Lilliput need me, and so do my friends back in my home of Tokyo." Rini said.
"You can be so happy here. We could've been such best friends…" Glum said, with a couple tears coming down her right eye. Rini took pity on the giantess and she flew up to her face.
"Don't cry, Glum. Remember when I said you reminded me of a girl named Hotaru?" Rini said.
"Yes?" Glum said.
"I will always think of you everytime I see Hotaru. And you should do the same. Even though we'll be apart, we'll always be friends." Rini said.
"Okay…" Glum said.
" You're a big, brave girl, Glum. You must be strong." Rini said. Suddenly, as if Pegasus knew what Rini wanted to do, Rini flew up to Glum's face and patted her on the cheek, her hands getting wet from the tears. Rini even went as far as gave Glum a little peck on the tip of the giantess's nose. That seemed to cheer her up a little bit.
"You're right, Rini. You're needed elsewhere in the world. I will be strong, just for you." Glum said, now with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, Glum. Take care!" Rini said. As Pegasus and Rini both flew out into the sky and off the island of Brobdingnag, Glum waved the two goodbye until they were finally out of sight.

The farther away Brobdingnag was from view, the faster Pegasus flew, forcing Rini to hold on as tight as she could to the horse.
"Whoa! Slow down, Pegasus!" Rini said.
"My apologies, Rini. I can sense the terrible danger plaguing this land called Lilliput that you speak of. We must hurry before the damage becomes too great." Pegasus said.
"Getting there is one thing, but how am I going to defeat Kunzite's giant robot, especially when it's powered by my Luna Ball?" Rini said.
"Perhaps I can be of assistance. Open up your hand." Pegasus said. Rini did just that, and just then, a bright flash of pink light quickly gave way to a familiar looking object.
"Oh! The Chibi Moon Compact!" Rini said, recognizing the transformation item that allowed her to become Super Sailor Chibi-Moon.
"With the power to become Super Sailor Chibi-Moon, you can defeat the evil that threatens the island." Pegasus said.
"You're right! Thanks, Pegasus!" Rini said.
A few minutes later, with the sun mysteriously rising so suddenly out in the distance (though Rini didn't notice yet), Pegasus landed on the shore of the beach. Rini knew she was back on Lilliput just by looking at the tiny trees a handful of yards away from the beach.
"Wait here for now, Pegasus. I'll let you know when I'll need your help." Rini said. With a light neigh from Pegasus, the elegant horse stayed behind while Rini walked her way through the forest and towards the castle.

Meanwhile, life was far from luxorious in the center town. People were busy building structures and statues and other things that prominently showed Kunzite's face. And anyone that wasn't hard at work got a firm poke from the spears belonging to one of Kunzite's fellow generals. Even the other women.
"Get going, lass! Those posters aren't going to hang themselves!!" Nephrite shouted to one of the ladies.
"Just for that! You'll get no bread and like it!" Jadeite said to another family that tried to refuse working for them. Watching all of this from above at the castle balcony was Kunzite, along with a few guards from Blefuscu and also Victoria. Behind her were a few other random prisoners from around Lilliput.
"Ahhhh… isn't it glorious, my one true love? To be the supreme ruler of an entire army of willing islanders?" Kunzite said.
"General Kunzite, why are you doing this!? What do you have to gain from usurping the great Queen Beryl!?" Victoria shouted.
"Queen Beryl was a fool! To think we could prosper for generations to come by living in a world of peace!? What a fool! By uniting Blefuscu and Lilliput, I shall become the ruler of two islands. And we won't stop there! Eventually the rest of the world will learn of our combined might!" Kunzite shouted.
"Ugh… you're mad! You're only doing this because your ego was bruised when the Giant Pink-Haired One showed up!" Victoria said. That's when Kunzite turned around and slapped Victoria lightly in the face. Still, it was enough for some of the other Lilliput prisoners on the balcony to gasp.
"I do all of this for you, my princess. You and I will rule the world together, just as the fates deemed it!" Kunzite shouted.

Before anyone could shovel more dirt or chisel away at another piece of stone, the familiar childish voice of Rini suddenly rang through the air.
"People of Lilliput! Your glorious protector has returned!" Rini shouted. And with that, the tiny people of Lilliput watched as Rini stepped over the castle walls and was back on the castle grounds, some of them having to scamper out of the way to keep from getting crushed by her huge yellow flipflops. Rini stepped carefully around the grounds until she was standing in front of the balcony once more.
"You! It's impossible! How did you manage to get back here!?" Kunzite shouted.
"Teehee… I'm more powerful than you might think. I've got some other tricks up my… well, swimsuit, aside from my Luna Ball!" Rini said.
"Bah! You have some nerve to show your face here again! These people do not love you! You merely hypnotized them with your beast-like size and strength!" Kunzite said.
"No, Kunzite. It is YOU who has become hypnotized and clouded your own judgment. I haven't just returned to reclaim the Luna Ball that you stole from me… these little people have grown very large in my heart. They depended on me, and I let them down. I'm doing this not just for myself, but for everyone here on Lilliput." Rini said.
"Awwww… how very touching. You should put dialogue like that in a movie." Kunzite said.
"Come on, Kunzite! Bring out your giant robot thingy. I challenge YOU to a duel." Rini said.
"As you wish, giant pink-haired beast. Anyone who opposes me will be destroyed!" Kunzite said with an evil smile. He scooped up the Luna Ball from down by his feet and thrust it out towards the courtyard that Rini was standing over. Slowly, the ball transformed piece by piece into the giant fighting robot that he had used to defeat Rini previously. Rini watched with clenched fists, one of them holding her Chibi Moon Compact, as the robot formed. Once it was formed and activated, Kunzite made a mighty leap into the cockpit of the towering piece of living machinery.

As Rini and Kunzite stared down each other, several tiny people were already cheering the young giantess on. Of course, they made sure to keep their distance from the courtyard just in case the ensuing battle were to get way out of hand.
"Come on, Rini Gulliver, you can do it!" one man shouted.
"Save us all from the tyranny of Kunzite!" a woman shouted. Up on the balcony, Victoria put her hands close to her chest and prayed.
"You can do it, Rini… the people of Lilliput are with you." Victoria said.

Rini took a deep breath as she looked at Kunzite's robot head on. That's when she issued what should be at stake.
"If I win, Kunzite, Lilliput returns to her former glory under the rule of Queen Beryl! What she does is entirely up to her." Rini said.
"Very well, and if you lose…" Kunzite said. That's when he moved one of the feet of the robot back towards an apartment complex, crushing it completely.
"That's what will happen to Lilliput… AND you submit to my will, just as your precious Luna Ball has." Kunzite said. It was not a comforting position to be in for Rini, having to turn to the side of evil if she were to lose, but she agreed nevertheless.
"Deal." Rini said.
"Excellent! I hope you're ready to crush some cities alongside me. I fail to see how a scrawny kid like you can defeat me and my robot, especially when she doesn't have her magic transforming ball to assist her!" Kunzite shouted.
"Like I said, Kunzite. I have other tricks aside from that Luna Ball." Rini said. That's when she opened up the fist holding the Chibi Moon Compact and revealed it for all to see. Then she held it up in the air…
"Moon Crisis, Make Up!" Rini shouted. With that, the lid of the Chibi Moon Compact opened to reveal a pink heart-shaped crystal inside. The crystal flashed and then it affixed to Rini's chest, rotating as translucent pink ribbons appeared to form her leotard. One by one, the skirt (colored pink on the bottom, then yellow, and then white), pink boots, and white gloves formed. The little white wings appeared just below the red jewels in her odongo, and then finally the tiara appeared. Rini opened her eyes and finished up her pose with one hand on her hip and the other in front of her forehead. Rini was now officially Super Sailor Chibi-Moon.
"For Love and Justice, an apprentice to a pretty sailor suited soldier, I am Super Sailor Chibi Moon! In the name of the future moon, I will punish you!" Rini shouted.

The crowd gasped loudly over watching this transformation play out.
"Oh my! She just transformed!" one woman shouted.
"Wow! Just like a superhero!!" a young boy standing next to the woman shouted.
"Hmmm… most impressive. But a costume change won't be enough! Engage!!" Kunzite shouted as he charged head on for Rini. Rini quickly summoned her Pink Moon Stick and used it to block the first few sword attacks from Kunzite's robot. Rini tried to counter with swings of her own, but they were all blocked by the robot. The two combatants were locking hands now.
"Oh, by the way, I made some slight improvements while you were gone." Kunzite said. He pressed a few buttons on his control panel, and suddenly bolts of electricity came out of the robot's hands, and the shock sent Rini flying backwards a couple steps.
"Ouch!" Rini shouted. She gritted her teeth and clutched her Pink Moon Stick tightly.
"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" Rini said as a flurry of pink outlined hearts came flying out of the stick. However, they merely bounced off the robot's armor.
"Oooooh, that tickles! Who taught you that little trick?" Kunzite said. Rini had an uneasy look on her face. Even when powered up, she wasn't making even a scratch on the robot.
"Why don't you just give up and surrender!?" Kunzite shouted.
"Never! As long as these people believe in me, I'll keep fighting!" Rini shouted.

Meanwhile, inside the cockpit, Kunzite wasn't about to be so lonely anymore.
"That's enough, General Kunzite!" a male voice shouted. Kunzite turned around and noticed it was Damien standing behind him.
"What!? YOU!? How did you escape the dungeon!?" Kunzite shouted.
"I know more about the Lilliput castle than you think, let's just say." Damien said with a wink.
"Arrrrgh! No matter! I'm so close to victory! I won't have you spoil it!" Kunzite said as he and Damien duked it out with their fists. Despite this, Kunzite was able to maintain remarkable control of his robot. In fact, he reached down and picked up Rini, twirling her in the air just like before.
"No! Put me down!!!" Rini shouted.
"As you wish, giant pink haired beast!" Kunzite remarked, simultaneously knocking Damien backwards in the cockpit and releasing his robot's grip on Rini, sending her crashing into a group of buildings. Despite the hard landing, Rini was still able to move around, but just as she was able to clear the rubble off her body, the robot was mere yards away from her with both its fists already fully charged with electricity.
"One more jolt should finish you!" Kunzite said.

But right as the robot touched Rini… there was no electricity. Kunzite kept pressing buttons trying to get the fists up and shocking again, but nothing was happening.
"What…? What's happened?" Kunzite said.
"Yoohoo, Kunzite!" Damien shouted. Kunzite turned around and looked to see Damien not only back on his feet, but also holding a couple of thick cables that were spilling with sparks and electricity.
"I think I've literally pulled the plug on your operation." Damien said.
"Why you impudent…!" Kunzite said.
"HI-YAAAAA!!!" Rini suddenly shouted as she sprung back to her feet and whacked the robot in the head with her Pink Moon Stick a couple times. As the robot backed away trying to maintain its balance, Rini suddenly watched as a tiny man came flying out atop the robot's head. As Rini easily caught the man in her free hand, she saw it was Damien.
"Oh, Damien!" Rini shouted.
"I knew you'd come back and save us all, Mrs. Gulliver, but forgive me. I couldn't just stand by and do nothing when that robot looked like it was going to rock and sock you again." Damien said.
"It's okay, Damien. You remind me of my Daddy, actually, with bravery like that." Rini said as she gently patted Damien on the top of his head. Rini then set him down on the ground.
"You better take cover while I finish off this menace." Rini said.
"Right! I shall go free the others from the dungeon in the meantime." Damien said, who then took off running away from the giantess. Rini, meanwhile, stormed towards the robot just as it recovered its balance.
"Sailor Chibi Moon Kick!" Rini said as she made a high leap in the air and then came down, whacking the robot in the head with one of her boots. Shockingly to Kunzite, that one hit set off various alarms inside the robot.
"What!? Too much damage? I can't lose my power now!!" Kunzite shouted.
"Take this! And this! And this!" Rini shouted as she swung her Pink Moon Stick repeatedly, striking the robot in the head.

Eventually, the robot fell down to one knee as Kunzite tried frantically to get it to move once more. That's when Rini knew it was time to strike and get her Luna Ball back. After taking a couple steps back, she got down on one knee, put her hands together, and looked up at the blue sky.
"Please, Pegasus! Protect everyone's dreams!" Rini said. A few seconds later, her Pink Moon Stick magically transformed into the Crystal Carillon, which flew into Rini's now open hands. She stood back on her feet and held the carillon up in the air, letting the bell sounds ring through the air. Suddenly, there was a loud neighing sound, and galloping through the air was Pegasus.
"Pegasus, please heal the Luna Ball and bring it back to me!" Rini said. Just then, the golden horn on Pegasus's head glowed brightly and directed a beam of light towards Kunzite's giant robot. Everyone watched as the robot dismantled itself piece by piece, with the pieces hovering in midair swirling around like a tornado.
"Noooo!" Kunzite shouted as he was forced to abandon the robot and watch as it came fully apart. A few seconds later, the swirling mass of metal and wire transformed back into Rini's all too familiar looking Luna Ball, which bounced its way happily (complete with its crescent moon restored) into Rini's arms.
"Luna Ball! It's okay now, you're back in good hands." Rini said.

Meanwhile, the crowd cheered wildly and stormed its way onto the courtyard, waving their arms up at the young giantess. Some people even briefly jumped onto her pink boots and patted them feverishly while saying thank you to her. At the same time, Queen Beryl and Queen Serenity came running out of the castle.
"Mother!" Victoria shouted as she spotted Queen Serenity amongst the crowd.
"Oh, Victoria! You're not hurt, are you?" Queen Serenity said as she spotted the red spot on her face where Kunzite slapped her.
"No, I'm okay. I'll be fine now that Rini Gulliver has saved us all!" Victoria said.
"Well, I'll be. A most magnificent job, Rini. Where did you get such magical power?" Queen Beryl asked.
"Well… forgive me, your majesty, but that's a secret that I can't tell anyone but my friends back home." Rini said.
"Ah, yes. I understand completely." Queen Beryl said. Pegasus then gently landed on the ground next to Rini, making sure not to crush anyone underneath its hooves.
"Thanks, Pegasus. I couldn't have done it without you." Rini said, who then powered back down into her swimsuit form.
"Always happy to assist, Rini." Pegasus said, whose voice could only be heard inside Rini's head. Everyone else just heard a series of neighs.

Meanwhile, back down on the ground, Damien came running up to Victoria.
"Princess Victoria!" Damien said.
"Oh, Damien! I saw your act of bravery in helping Rini. You were wonderful!" Victoria said.
"Thank you, princess. Now that the evil has been thwarted, there is one thing I must ask of you." Damien said.
"What's that?" Victoria asked. Damien then got down on one knee and pulled out a black case from one of his pockets. He opened it up and inside was a beautiful diamond ring that Victoria simply gasped at.
"Victoria, will you marry me?" Damien said.
"Yes! Yes I will!!" Victoria shouted happily as she allowed Damien to slip the ring onto one of her fingers. He stood back up and the two embraced with hugs and kisses galore, prompting cheers from everyone around, including the giant Rini.
"Yay! Way to go, you two!" Rini said.
"Well then, I guess the cat is out of the bag." Queen Serenity said.
"It sure is… but to be honest, I think those two make a much finer couple anyway." Queen Beryl said as the two older ladies shared a laugh.

Next, Kunzite and the three other generals were brought towards the two queens, all four held by Lilliputian guards.
"Well, General Kunzite, what do you have to say for yourself?" Queen Beryl said with a stern look on her face. Kunzite, however, didn't say anything. It looked like none of the four generals were going to talk like the criminals they now were, although Jadeite, the youngest of the bunch, did say something.
"All hail Blefuscu!" Jadeite shouted.
"You four have been charged with treason, and for that, I sentence you to death!" Queen Beryl said.
"Wait! Your majesty, I have a better idea for punishment." Rini said.
"Oh? You do?" Queen Beryl said.
"Yes… everyone stand back." Rini said. She then took her Luna Ball and bounced it up and down.
"Kitty Magic! I want my shrink gun!" Rini shouted. Her ball then transformed into a familiar object to her eyes, her gun which was capable of shrinking whatever she blasted to however small she wanted.
"Go ahead, turn them loose. Just make sure they don't get away!" Rini said. The guards did just that, letting go of the four disgraced generals but pointing spears and bow & arrows to make sure they don't escape. By the time the four looked up at Rini wondering what she had in mind, Rini opened fire.
"Eeeeeeek!!!" all four shouted as they watched the world around them get bigger and bigger. A few seconds later, Rini stopped shooting and changed the gun back into her Luna Ball. All four were reduced down to around 3-4 inches tall, and Queen Beryl approached the four towering over them like Rini had towered over her.
"Fascinating! Is there anything your magic Luna Ball can't do?" Queen Beryl said.
"Well, plenty of things, but still, how do you like that, your majesty? Now you can get a feel for what it's like to be big, like me. Just as long as you don't quickly crush them to death, of course!" Rini said with a smile.
"Yes, I agree. I think I like this punishment better." Queen Beryl said as she kneeled down and picked up all four.
"Put us down, you! You can't control us like this!!" Kunzite shouted as his words squeaked out, which made Queen Beryl laugh.
"Hohohohoho!! You're far from big enough to push ME around, Kunzite. I think I'm going to enjoy getting a foot massage from all four of you! Queen Serenity, take them to my quarters for the time being." Queen Beryl said as she handed the four shrunken generals over to Queen Serenity.
"Right away, your highness. But… can I play with them too?" Queen Serenity asked.
"And me too!" Victoria said.
"Okay, okay. You can all have your turns with them when the time is right. But you also have a wedding ceremony to prepare!" Queen Beryl said.
"Oh, right!" Victoria said as she, Queen Serenity, and Damien all walked away and back into the castle for the time being.

Finally, there was one more order of business for Queen Beryl to attend to, with Rini and Pegasus watching from above. The king of Blefuscu, who Rini felt looked a lot like Prince Diamond of the Black Moon Clan, suddenly walked up towards Queen Beryl.
"Queen Beryl of Lilliput." the man said.
"King Demand of Blefuscu." Queen Beryl said.
"Forgive us. We did not mean for this mass invasion to occur. We were promised wealth and prosperity beyond our wildest dreams by those generals. But now we can only see they have deceived us." King Demand said.
"As he has my land, it seems." Queen Beryl said.
"We will retreat back to Blefuscu and never bother you again." King Demand said.
"Forget it, your highness." Queen Beryl said.
"Huh?" King Demand asked.
"As of this very minute, the Blefuscudians are welcome to the island of Lilliput anytime they wish. I wish to unite our laws and create one island nation despite being separated by a body of water." Queen Beryl said.
"We… we as a kingdom would like that! Thank you so much." King Demand said.
"No, king. Thank you." Queen Beryl said as the two shook hands. Once again, a huge round of applause went around the courtyard. Years of war between two island nations, just like that, had come to an end.

"Awwww… I just love happy endings." Rini commented from above.
"Rini, it is time we departed as well. Your friends back in Tokyo are waiting for you." Pegasus said.
"Oh, okay. I understand. Your majesty, I'm sorry, but this is where I must say goodbye." Rini said.
"Oh? Don't you want to stay for the wedding between Damien and Victoria? And maybe even teach me the right ways to play with my four little toys?" Queen Beryl said.
"I would love to… but I've been gone from Tokyo for days now. My friends there are probably REALLY worried." Rini said.
"Ah… yes, you're right. But let me just say one more thing on behalf of all of us at Lilliput." Queen Beryl said.
"Yes?" Rini said.
"Thank you, Rini." Queen Beryl said.
"Teehee, you're welcome everyone. I won't forget all of you! Ever! I promise!" Rini said as she pulled out the NARDAC medal from inside the top half of her swimsuit, showing it off to the entire crowd before putting it back inside. As Rini and Pegasus walked amongst the crowd so they could head back to the beach, they were being cheered loudly, and Rini waved down to as many of the people by her yellow flipflops as she could.

Once the two were back at the beach, Rini hopped onto Pegasus's back and held on for the ride as Pegasus flapped its elegant wings and sailed through the sky. Just as that happened, Rini let out a somewhat long yawn.
"*yaaaaaaaaaaaaawn*" Rini said.
"You should rest easy, Rini. It's going to be a long trip back to your home." Pegasus said.
"Yeah, I suppose I should take a nap. I haven't slept much these past couple days. Thank you, Pegasus. I can't thank you enough for all the help you've given me." Rini said.
"It is my pleasure, as always, Rini." Pegasus said. Rini then rested her head almost on top of Pegasus's own head, eventually drifting off to sleep.
Moments later, Rini could hear female voices calling her name.
"Rini! Rini, wake up!"
"Come on, Rini! You can't die on us!"

Finally, Rini opened up her eyes, where she looked to see the familiar faces of Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita, and Mina looking down on her.
"Oh, thank heavens! She's finally waking up!" Amy said.
"Man, you really gave us a scare, kiddo!" Lita said. Rini first looked over at Serena.
"V…Victoria?" Rini said. The five inner senshi all gave confused looks at each other.
"Huh? Victoria? Who's that? Sounds old English, if you ask me." Serena said. That's when Rini sat up and looked around. She was back on Raye's private island, and more importantly, the girls around her were just the right size. Not doll-sized or big enough to make herself look doll-sized.
"Serena! Everyone!" Rini said as she stood up and hugged Serena's lower body.
"There there, Rini. We're all here now. And thank goodness that storm didn't swallow you alive." Serena said.
"How… how long have I been away?" Rini asked.
"Huh? What do you mean? You've been laying on the sand here for 10 minutes." Raye said.
"What!? Just ten minutes!?" Rini said.
"Yeah, why? Did you have a dream or something?" Mina asked.
"Yeah… maybe I did. It felt like I was gone for days…" Rini said.
"Well, thank goodness you don't appear to be hurt." Amy said.
"Yeah! It's like that storm listened to me, being the master of thunder and lightning and such, begging not for you to get hurt." Lita said.
"Come on, Rini. Let's go back inside the cottage. We should get packing and then sail back to the city." Serena said.
"Okay! Sounds good to me!" Rini said.

The five inner senshi all walked inland and made their way back to the cottage, and Rini was just about to follow them. Instead, she turned around and looked out in the distance at the waves that were coming ashore. Then she reached into the top half of her swimsuit and felt something. She pulled out the tiny NARDAC medal she had gotten from Lilliput.
"Huh? But it was all a dream… wasn't it?" Rini said. She couldn't help but wonder what she had just gone through over the past couple of days, and yet only 10 minutes passed in the real world. It was all a mystery, but before she could ponder anymore on it...
"Rini, are you coming!?" Serena shouted from the distance.
"Coming, Serena!" Rini said as she tucked the NARDAC medal back into the upper part of her swimsuit. She turned around and headed back inland on the private island, joining back up with the other sailor scouts as they all made preparations to return back home to the city.
