Author's Notes
I do not own the concept of the Sailor Senshi, that was created by Naoko Takeuchi. I am just using it in this story. She also made up the original Sailor Moon characters. However, I did create the Neo Senshi and the villains in this story. For those who have read my older "Sailor Moon Neo International" story, this is the re-write I mentioned, in that some things from that story, like an international Senshi team, are reused, but this story is different as well. Also, I am rewriting the beginning of this story because I wanted to change some major plot points (for example, in the first version I had all the original Senshi killed off, and in this one they're still alive except for one).
Ginger Ngala is Neo Sailor Moon
Gloria Alvares is Neo Sailor Mercury
Bertha Ingrid is Neo Sailor Mars
Twyla Maui is Neo Sailor Jupiter
Destiny Taylor is Neo Sailor Venus
Rasha Malik is Neo Sailor Uranus
Sophie Cousteau is Neo Sailor Neptune
Mika Ogata is Neo Sailor Pluto
Natasha Petrovich is Neo Sailor Saturn
Arabella Zucchini is Sailor Earth
Lolita Gomez is Sailor Sun
Sumita Shivaji is Sailor Nemesis
Chapter 1: Murder in the Night
It seemed to be a peaceful night in the Crystal Palace, and everyone was asleep. The peace was broken as a girl screamed, and Neo-Queen Serenity woke up with a start.
"Small Lady!" she gasped, bolting out of bed in her nightgown. She ran to her daughter's room, but it was too late. A large bloody hole was in the young princess's chest, and Chibi-Usa Tsukino was unconscious, very close to death. Serenity looked around the room to see who could have done this to her daughter, and she quickly found the culprit. A girl with long pink hair was standing nearby, holding a bloody sword. She then disappeared in a flash of fire, escaping from the scene of the crime. It was then that Endymion arrived.
"What happened to her? How did someone get inside the palace?!" he exclaimed, shocked.
"I don't know. There was a pink-haired girl with a sword...she killed my...my..." Serenity cut off, collapsing onto Chibi-Usa's bloody body, sobbing. Tears ran out of Endymion's eyes too, but he stayed silent. He then ran off, searching for Ami Mizuno, the palace doctor. It was easy to find Ami, luckily, because she and most of the other former Sailor Senshi were out of their beds, having been woken up by the commotion.
"Who screamed? Has our peace been broken again?" Haruka Tenou demanded, Michiru Kaiou and Ami were close behind her.
"Ami. You need to come to Small Lady's room, now," Endymion ordered, his voice cracking slightly with sadness. Ami obeyed, running alongside him. She arrived and let out of a shriek of her own.
"Save her, Ami! I know you can save her! YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IT!!" Serenity wailed, not leaving Chibi-Usa's side. Ami put her hands on Chibi-Usa's wrist and began to sob too.
"There's nothing I can do...not with a wound to the heart like this..." she whimpered. Serenity shoved her friend aside.
"Then let me do it! With the Silver Crystal! I will sacrifice myself for her sake!" she declared.
"You can't do that! You need to be strong now, there's obviously a new enemy to fight!" Haruka snapped, pulling the Silver Crystal out of Serenity's reach.
"Indeed, there is. The new generation must be awakened," said a new voice, a very cute, adorable, puppyish voice. The five who were gathered stared, they had just noticed the small orange Pomeranian dog who was standing in the room. On the dog's head was the crescent moon, symbol of the royal Moon family.
"Who are you? Can you save Small Lady's life?" Serenity pleaded.
"No, but I can help make sure the Season Girls don't kill anyone else. I am Infinity, the guardian of the Neo Senshi. They must come from all over the world to fight," the dog explained.
"All over the world?! How are we going to get Senshi to come from all over the world?!" Serenity panicked.
"Send out messages. They will come, anyone would know their duties, everyone in the world knows who the Sailor Senshi are. Not to mention who wouldn't want to live in a palace?" Infinity smirked.
"That's true, but it sounds kind of weird. You know, getting a letter in the mail that says 'Congratulations, you are a Sailor Senshi!' or something like that. And who would we send the messages to? Do you know who these new Senshi are?" Serenity asked, calming down a bit.
"Well, I'm sure if you use that amazing computer Sailor Mercury has, she might be able to find something. Or combine it with the Silver Crystal somehow," Infinity suggested with a shrug.
"Don't you know who they are?" Serenity repeated.
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't," Infinity said, still smirking, "But maybe you need to search for them yourselves."
"Listen, you bratty little dog, there's obviously a very dangerous enemy out here that's trying to get us! That pinkhaired girl already killed Chibi-Usa! If there are new Senshi that need to be awakened, tell us now!" Haruka demanded, standing over the small dog menacingly.
"Calm down like a good Japanese woman. There is no reason to panic over this, Haruka Tenou. What needs to be done first is that all of you need to put your powers into me, so that I can awaken the new Senshi when they arrive. After that, I will help Ami use her computer to find the addresses of these 12 girls," Infinity explained calmly.
"Give up our powers?! Are you crazy?!" Haruka shouted.
"No, she's not. Chibi-Usa was going to inherit Serenity's title of Sailor Moon, and we were eventually going to find successors as well, remember? Now is the time to do that," Michiru reminded her, touching her lover's shoulder gently.
"You said 12 girls, right? There's only 10 of us, counting Endymion," Serenity pointed out, "Who are the other 2 Senshi? And why haven't they appeared yet?"
"Because they were lovers in the Silver Millennium who died together, crashing into the Sun. At least, that's what I remember," said Luna, who arrived, all the other Senshi behind her.
"Endymion told us what happened. So is it true we need to give that dog our powers?" asked Minako Aino.
"Yes. It's the only way to make sure no one else is killed like Chibi-Usa," Infinity stated seriously. Haruka sighed and touched her hand to the crescent moon on Infinity's head, and it briefly flickered into a blue Uranus symbol. Each of the others in turn imitated Haruka, including Endymion, who apparently was represented by a black Earth symbol. Infinity, who looked rather pleased with herself, then turned to Ami Mizuno.
"I believe you can still use your computer until the new Sailor Mercury is properly awakened. Give it to me, and I will generate the addresses and names of the new Sailor Senshi," she ordered. Ami looked a bit skeptical, but gave the small blue computer to the dog anyway. Fortunately, Infinity was able to create such a list. She had been correct when she said these Senshi would come from various countries, there was one from Japan, but the others were from Brazil, Kenya, Norway, Hawaii, Australia, Egypt, France, Russia, Mexico, Italy and India.
"I guess if we want these Senshi to come here, we should send out the letters pretty soon. Or do you know their email addresses?" Rei asked Infinity.
"Send the letters, that way we can use the official Moon Family papers so they know it's not just a trick," Endymion said.
"If those are their real addresses," Serenity noted, looking at Infinity's list that had come out of Ami's computer, "couldn't we just go and tell them in person? That way we can make sure they're all coming. Of course, we could send out the letters first, but I want to bring the girls here myself. And it would be a fun trip!"
"You sure you can handle traveling all over the world when you still don't know how to write your kanji?" Rei teased.
"You guys can translate! And you know that Japanese is required in most schools because of me being the Queen!" Serenity protested.
"Not all of us should go. Some of us should stay behind and protect the palace in case the Season Girls come again," Haruka pointed out.
"You stay. I've been to England, but I want to travel with Serenity!" giggled Minako. Makoto and Rei both said "Me too!" and Ami felt she should go help be a translator, just in case that was needed.
"I'll stay with these four," Endymion decided, referring to Haruka's group.
"Not to burst your bubbles, but don't we need to write the letters first?" Haruka said, since she thought that Serenity looked like she was ready to get packing and go on their trip already.
"We should also have a funeral for Chibi-Usa," Hotaru said sadly.
"WAAAH!! Why are we traveling now?! My baby!" Serenity wailed, switching moods just like when she was younger.
"Usagi...we can do both. Don't worry, we'll be on guard for any more Season Girls. And we have Infinity to help us awaken the new Senshi. Chibi-Usa's death will not be in vain," Rei reassured her.
"Of course you can't forget about me," Infinity grumped, "I'm too cute to forget." However, the former Sailor Senshi still ignored her, going off to Chibi-Usa's room to put her body in a safer place.
