A Sailor Senshi In Hyrule
Prologue: The Ocarina
Link watched as Princess Zelda threw something in the moat by his feet and then her and her guard Impa galloped away with Gannondorf trailing after them. Gannondorf stopped to look at Link and then raced his horse to catch the young Hyrulian princess.
Link reached into the moat and pulled out a small waterproof package. He opened it and found the Ocarina of Time. As soon as he picked it up he felt his Fairy Ocarina lift into the air. He watched in surprise as it faded away leaving him only with the Ocarina of Time.

Usagi was walking to Rei's temple for a Sailor Senshi meeting. She thought about how angry the priestess in training would be when she realized Usagi had been late because she had gotten detention for being late to school again. She reached the temple steps and took a deep breath while gathering courage.
A soft popping sound above her head made Usagi look up and see a small, wooden object fall to the ground in front of her. She picked it up and noticed it was oblong shaped, hollow and had several holes in it. "Usagi!" The yell of her friend Rei broke Usagi's concentration.
"Hi Rei-chan, look what came out of the sky." She handed it over to her friend excitement sparkling in her eyes.
Rei studied the odd object as Usagi caught sight of her friends Ami, Minako, and Makoto. The three walked towards Rei and Usagi. "Hey Usagi-chan, did you get detention again?" questioned Ami.
Rei handed the wooden object to Ami. "Do you know what this is?" she asked. Ami studied it for a few minutes.
"Where did you get that?" she asked excitement creeping into her voice. "That's a genuine ocarina! A rare wooden instrument that somewhat resembles a flute. Some ancient scholars say that the ocarina was a magical instrument."
"Ami-chan, do you know how to play it?" Usagi asked.
"No, Usagi I have only seen pictures of it. I have never saw a real one. Where did you get it?" answered Ami.
"It came out of thin air and almost him me in the head!" Usagi replied.
"I'm surprised you didn't recognize it Usagi. Seeing how our class studied it last month in 'Ancient Music'."
Usagi awarded Ami with a blank stare. Then realization dawned on her face and she blushed. "I remember I flunked it." When the others stared at her she defended herself. "It was hard. If I had gotten only fifteen more points I would have passed." She put her hand behind her head and laughed nervously.
Ami interrupted Usagi's guilt trip. "I really must go home and study. I'm only three weeks ahead for the biology test. You should go home and study for it too, Usagi." The young genius turned and walked down the temple steps.
Makoto spoke up next. "I'm going to go to the arcade. Usagi, Minako, you want to join me?"
Usagi looked down at the ocarina. "No thanks, Mako-chan I think I'm going to try and learn this." She looked at Rei and Minako. "Unless one of you wants to learn it." She asked and held out the small ocarina.
"No, thanks, Usagi." Stated Rei.
"Maybe another time, Usagi." Answered Minako.
Usagi smiled. "Alright see you guys later."
Usagi walked down the temple stairs her newfound treasure clutched in her hand. Excitement danced in her blue eyes as she contemplated how she would learn to play the small instrument. She looked up and realized she was already at the door to her house. Usagi opened the door and climbed the stairs into her room. She noticed the door to her room was open and she cautiously looked in. Chibiusa was tearing everything out of her closet and dresser drawers. "Where does she keep it?" the young pink-haired girl asked herself.
"What are you doing?" Usagi demanded.
The young girl dropped a handful of Usagi's clothes and looked up. Usagi glared at the five-year old. Chibiusa picked up her Luna ball and prepared to make a run for it. "Not so fast you little spore!" Usagi screamed as she grabbed onto Chibiusa's arm.
"Let me go!" shouted the young girl as she struggled to free her arm.
Usagi let Chibiusa go as she noticed her cat Luna tied up in a chair and dressed up in doll clothes. She untied her and pulled the small clothes off the furious cat. Usagi set the ocarina down on her bed as she started to pick up her clothes and put them back into her closet and dresser drawers.
The black cat looked at Usagi revealing a perfectly formed crescent moon lying on its side with its points up on her forehead. "Thanks for rescuing me." Luna glanced at the object on the bed. "What is that?" she asked pointing a paw toward the ocarina.
Usagi giggled. "According to Ami-chan it's called an ocarina. I'm going to learn how to play it." Usagi covered all the holes of the ocarina with her fingers and brought the small instrument to her lips. She gently blew into it and uncovered the holes then recovered them producing a sweet melodious sound. She blew into it again this time alternating, which holes were covered and which ones weren't. The result was a pleasing to the ear melody. "Did you hear that, Luna?" she asked.
The cat stared at Usagi as if she were a perfect stranger. "I think you've found your talent, Usagi. I have never heard you play an instrument so very well. I'm proud of you, Usagi-chan."
Usagi blushed at the rare compliment from Luna. "Thank you, Luna I'm glad you think so." She then proceeded to spend the next hour playing various notes on the ocarina. "What till Rei-chan hears this." She smirked.
The ocarina was brought to Usagi's lips again and she played what had quickly become her favorite melody. Just as she was about to finish it one of her fingers slipped and covered another hole. Golden light motes started to surround Usagi and Luna. The light grew brighter and brighter making Usagi close her eyes. The whole room glowed with the light then suddenly vanished taking Usagi and Luna with it.

Rei looked up from sweeping the temple stairs and felt a tremendous power coming from the city. Makoto and Minako looked up from their video game as they felt the power surge. Ami ignored the power as she studied for her test. A white cat paused in his hunting of a mouse and glanced toward the city. "What was that?" the five unknowingly echoed.
**
Usagi looked around her with wide eyes. She appeared to be in some sort of elaborate stone building. She glanced at Luna. "What happened?" she asked fear edging her voice.
Luna looked at her young mistress. "You know we're not in Tokyo anymore right?"
Usagi nodded thoughtfully. She turned around and noticed a black stone alter of some sort with three dazzling jewels in it. She looked above the altar and noticed an odd design. Three small golden triangles were on a plaque. They were arranged in such a way that they formed one large golden triangle. "Wow," whispered Usagi in awe. Luna turned around to see what Usagi was staring at. She too saw the altar and the mysterious triangles.
Usagi walked towards the altar. As she neared it she noticed that the jewels were not part of the table as she had first had thought but they were really set into three notches specially made for the jewels. She read a stone plaque on the altar. "The Ocarina of Time opened this door. The Hero of Time, with the Master Sword, descended here."
Usagi walked around the table and noticed a doorway. Eyes wide with curiosity she went through the door. The first thing she noticed was six emblems on the floor. She walked around studying each emblem. She noticed some small stairs and climbed up them until she saw a long, thin stone. She stepped closer and noticed it was a stone sheath for a sword.
Luna walked into the odd room. She walked over to Usagi. "I think we should try to contact the other Sailor Senshi now."
Usagi nodded and pushed a button on her watch and began to speak. "Calling all Sailors. Come in this is Usagi. I'm in some sort of building."
No sound greeted her waiting ears. She glanced at Luna. Usagi sighed and took her finger off the all call button. She sadly shook her head. Hearing a sound she looked up startled and saw a shadowy silhouette. The figure stepped forward and into a shaft of sunlight. Usagi stared in surprise as a teenaged boy was revealed. He was wearing an odd green tunic with a matching green hat of some sort and light brown, leather boots.
The boy looked in her direction and light danced across a small golden earring in his ear. He immediately went into a battle ready stance. He brought out a shield that had been on his back with one arm while he readied his sword with the other. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" he demanded.
Usagi took a deep breath and refrained from crying in fear. "My name is Usagi and I don't know why precisely I'm here. The last thing I remember is playing with my new ocarina. I was playing various tunes on it when my finger slipped covering a hole I had not wanted to cover. Suddenly I was surrounded by golden light and was somehow teleported here."
The boy stared at her for a moment before speaking. "May I see your ocarina?" Usagi nodded and with puzzlement in her eyes handed her ocarina to him. The boy's eyes widened as he recognized the instrument. 'This is what Saria gave me when I was younger. This is the Fairy Ocarina.' He thought.
Usagi watched the boy study her instrument. "Is something wrong?" she asked concern in her voice.
The boy dragged his eyes away from the Fairy Ocarina and studied its owner. She looked to be around fourteen or maybe younger. She had bright blue eyes and long blonde hair. Her hair resembled pigtails. There was a major difference though. Instead of ponytail holders in her hair it looked like her hair was knotted into two round buns with streamers of hair coming out of each bun. She had a heart shaped face and was studying him intently. He noticed fear in her eyes as she glanced at his sword. Then he noticed she wore a white shirt with a red bow on the chest. She had some sort of jewelry in the middle of the bow. She wore a knee length pleated blue skirt. The last thing he noticed about the girl was her black shiny shoes and delicate white socks.
The boy saw something out of the corner of his eye and turned confronting a black cat with a perfect yellow crescent moon on her forehead. Usagi noticed the boy watching Luna so she picked her up. "This is my cat Luna." She announced. "So," she turned towards him forcing her eyes to stay away from the sharp sword. "Now that you know my name what's yours?"
"I'm Link." He stated.
"Could you please return my ocarina?" Usagi asked sweetly. Link nodded and handed the wooden instrument back to her. "Where am I anyway?" Usagi asked.
Link smiled. "You are in the Temple of Time in Hyrule."
"Can you help me get home?" she pleaded.
Link frowned remembering the mission he was supposed to be on. "I'm sorry, but I can't. I have something really important to do and don't have time to help." Tears shimmered in Usagi's eyes and her bottom lip began to quiver.
"I'll see what I can do." Link sighed.
Usagi smiled. "Thanks."
"Now," Link stated. "I have to go somewhere then I'll be back. Until then stay right here. There are monsters outside, but they won't get you if you stay here."
Usagi started to shake in fear. "Monsters?"
Link sighed. "I'll explain when I return I really have to go."
He ran out of the room and Usagi followed him with her eyes. She then turned towards Luna. "Luna, now what do we do?"
Luna frowned at her. "It's obvious we follow him, Usagi. He recognized your ocarina. I don't know how he did it, but he did. He knows how we got here. My best bet is he will be the only one that can help us return."
"What about the monsters?" Usagi whimpered.
Luna frowned at her. "I highly doubt there are monsters here. He just wanted to make sure that you stayed here."
Usagi started to shake in fear. "But Luna, he had a sword and shield! He couldn't have been lying." Usagi argued. Usagi sniffled. "I want to go home!"
**
Ami knocked on Usagi's door. 'I wonder why Usagi didn't answer her communicator.' Wondered Ami. 'It could have been like Rei said and she might have forgotten to take it with her, but I sense something wrong.'
The door opened revealing Usagi's mother. She smiled at Ami. "Hi Ami, Usagi is in her room."
"Thanks." Ami said as she climbed up the stairs.
She knocked on the door. She waited for Usagi to answer. She knocked again harder. She paused then opened the door. Usagi was not there. She closed the door behind her and brought out her palm-sized computer. She tapped a few buttons issuing a scan of the room. She waited and a few minutes later her computer beeped telling her it had the results of the scan. The young genius studied the screen and frowned at the words on the screen.
*Nothing unusual found. *
Ami tapped a button on her watch. "Calling all Senshi. This is an emergency! Usagi is gone!" she whispered excitedly.
"Ami?" questioned Rei. "What do you mean Usagi is gone?"
"I mean she's not in her room or the arcade or anywhere." Ami replied.
"Have the others meet at the temple I'll do a fire reading." Rei said before calling Minako and Makoto.
Ami nodded and left Usagi's room. She closed the door behind her and hoped they would be able to find Usagi before her mom discovered her gone. She exited the house and ran towards Rei's temple.
Rei sat in front of the fire eyes closed and concentrating. Behind her sat
her three friends and one white cat. Rei opened her eyes and stared into the
fire. "Great fire please tell us where Usagi and Luna are. Please great
fire help us out!" she demanded.
There was a sudden increase in the fire and Rei stared into it. A ghostly vision
of Usagi talking to Link appeared in the fire and Rei stared as the boy seemed
to be explaining something to an about to wail Usagi. Rei looked up at the others.
The vision faded but the words of the place stuck in the priestess's mind. "Well
Sailor Senshi, looks like we're going to Hyrule."
