Disclaimer: I do not own Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon or it's associated Anime shows. I also do not own the world of Naruto or any of the other franchises that I may make references to in this story.
Author's Note: So… first things first… another author I read rather recently brought up a really good point, and that was to ask why Naruto's Oiroke no Jutsu looks so much like Usagi Tsukino. While he took his story in one direction, I will be taking mine in an entirely different direction.
I will also note that I will be maintaining Usagi's canonical pairing, and doing my darndest to keep Mamoru alive. Not because I like Mamoru or anything… because I really don't… but because I absolutely ADORE Chibiusa. She's so cute and cuddly.
xXx February 20th, 2014 xXx
xXx Charon Palace xXx
Princess Setsuna Meiou of the planet Pluto… and yes, it is a planet despite what the Earth's astronomers might want people to believe… was absolutely ecstatic. At long last she had pinpointed the location where the ones she had been tasked with watching over.
One could be found on the local Earth, and judging by the patterns in the time stream, it looked as if Luna of the Mau would soon be finding her and setting her on her destiny.
As for the other…
"Oh! Well this will never do. That world is way too dangerous for my Prince to be left on. Even if Serenity is destined to be the Guardian of the Moon, it is the Prince who their mother had always suspected would be the one to continue the royal bloodline into the future." Setsuna stated.
Drawing one of the keys off of her waist, Setsuna walked over to a truly massive gothic looking doorway and inserted the key into the keyhole, twisting it to the unlocked position. Once this was done she drew the door open and stepped through the massive archway. So long as she had the keys with her, no one else could pass through the gateway.
xXx Another Time and Place xXx
Setsuna blinked, and looked around at her surroundings. "This… this can't be right."
The location that the Space-Time Door had delivered her to looked like Charon Palace… except everything was in a complete state of decay. Nothing in the palace was operational except for the Space-Time Door itself. And that seemed to be having it's power siphoned off by some external force. Fortunately the door has an infinite reserve of power drawing directly from what those silly humans in that Academy in one universes London refer to as the Second and Fifth True Sorceries.
Setsuna let out a laugh as she thought of those humans. They only recognized five Sorceries. Truth is there are countless True Sorceries. Each Senshi, the universe over can draw on at least one of them. Setsuna herself can draw on the Second and Fifth, the members of the Lunar Royal Family traditionally call upon the First and Third, just to name two examples.
"Now, let's see, if this is Pluto… and nothing here works… well this is rather awkward. How am I supposed to get to what is probably an alternate version of Earth if I can't activate the matter transporters?" Setsuna asked thin air.
Sure, she can use what that vampiric troll calls the Kaleidoscope, but she isn't as good at it as him. She has to have been to a place before to be able to teleport back to it, which makes it virtually useless in this situation. Although she is naturally capable of teleporting herself or something else to any quantum irregularity that exists whether she has been to it before or not. One of the perks of the other sorcery at her disposal interacting with the Second Sorcery.
Sighing to herself, Setsuna walked over to one of the various windows in the palace. It is a really good thing that the Senshi don't need oxygen and won't die due to exposure to a vacuum, or else she'd already be dead.
"I've never really tried something like this… So I have no idea if I am being stupid or not… but here goes nothing… Time Alter - Chīlīas Accel!" Setsuna screamed the last bit out, Surprisingly despite the lack of atmosphere, her voice would have been heard if there had been anyone around to hear her speaking.
"Ooof." Setsuna groaned. Even though her version of the Time Alter magic didn't have the same disastrous side effects as what happens when that foolish man in the Clocktower's universe uses it, it still wasn't particularly advisable for her to use anything more than a Square Accel unless the situation absolutely demanded it. Fortunately, it wasn't on the same level as Time Stop, like all other Guardians of Time she was absolutely forbidden to use that specific technique except in the most dire of situations where no other option remained.
Propelling herself out of the window at an astonishing 199.1667 Miles Per Second… which only just barely reached the rate of 0.1% light speed… she began her long journey towards what could only be an alternate Earth.
xXx 156 Days Later xXx
xXx Ichiraku Ramen Stand xXx
xXx Konohagakure no Sato xXx
Setsuna was sitting enjoying a nice meal of Ramen when it happened, several explosions erupted in disparate parts of the village simultaneously.
Standing from her meal and walking outside of the Ramen stand, Setsuna frowned at what she was witnessing. Not only were there massive explosions still going off in various locations, but there were now three gigantic orange and black centipedes wreaking havoc throughout the village.
Suddenly an explosion that resembled what would happen if the Schwerer Gustav had fired its payload into the middle of the village.
"Okay, now I am pissed," Setsuna exclaimed and thrust out her hand. In that hand appeared a small wand with a pink heart topped with a blue globe that had two antenna off of it in a V shape, and on top of the globe was a golden star shaped ornament. "Pluto Planet Power! Make Up!
In a flash of bright light that seemed to stop time around her, Setsuna was transformed into Sailor Pluto, the Guardian of Time. Once she has transformed, Sailor Pluto began walking in the direction of the largest explosion.
After turning only one corner she came upon an orange haired man and watched in horror as he ripped his victim's very soul out of his body. Not wishing to get close enough for that man to do that to her, she pointed the Garnet Rod at the man and declared "You are so Nailed to the Sky!"
Setsuna watched in satisfaction as the man was ripped off the ground at 25020 MPH breaking every single bone in his body to break due to experiencing approximately 1800 G's all at a single instant.
If the lift off didn't kill the guy, what happened only seconds after he exited the planet's extreme upper atmosphere certainly did. As soon as he reached that altitude the gravitational pull of the planet reasserted itself on his body with extreme aggression and he began plummeting towards the planet at 24606.3 MPH, the same speed as the Apollo 16 Capsule on Reentry.
To say he was nice and toasty when he landed was putting it extremely mildly.
xXx Outside of Konoha xXx
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" a voice cried out in extreme agony at the sensation of having one of its bodies atomized.
"FIND HER AND KILL HER!" Nagato commanded to the other Paths of Pain.
xXx Back with Setsuna xXx
The next one of these weirdo's she encountered was a rather blocky fellow with seven studs in an inverted V on his face and three long spikes sticking out of his brain… yeah that was what it looks like they are doing… and poking through his ears.
The man ran up to Setsuna and grabbed her by the throat, which was damn impressive since she was in Double Accel right now. He then asked the question "Do you know where Naruto Uzumaki is?"
Setsuna frowned and countered "What is your business with my Prince?"
As soon as she had spoken the last word, a large demonic looking head erupted out of the ground, unzipped its mouth… yes, unzipping is the right word here… and a large tendril reached out and pulled out something that seemed to be attached to Setsuna's tongue.
The head's eyes crinkled in confusion before it released whatever that was it held and disappeared much to the surprise of the man that was holding her.
"How are you still alive?" the man demanded.
"I don't know. Why would I be dead though?" Setsuna asked.
"That was the King of Hell. Anyone who I ask a question of after grabbing their throat is judged by the King of Hell. If he finds them to have answered truthfully, then they live. If they lied, or did not answer, then he kills them." the man stated.
"Ah, well there's your problem then. Hello, my name is Sailor Pluto, I am the Sailor Soldier of the Afterlife, Time, Change and Revolution. You can go to hell. Dead Scream!"
As she said that she swung the Garnet Rod in such a way that a massive blast of purple energy slammed into the man. This energy, unlike how she would normally choose to use it had absolutely none of its limiters on it at the moment.
As soon as the energy hit the man every single nerve in his body began firing signals indicating he was in immense pain. This was of course natural because he had just been turned into the very beginning stages of a completely self contained Black Hole that has no chance of affecting the outside world.
His death was going to be horrifically painful. Usually she left the limiters on, but these guys with the weird swirly eyes were ticking her off immensely. So far she has had to deal with a guy who eats people's souls, which was strictly banned by all planets with a Senshi on it, as well as a guy capable of summoning one of her minions. And the guy had the nerve to use said minion on her.
"I was having such a nice day…" Setsuna exclaimed as she walked off in search of her next playmate.
xXx A Few Minutes Later xXx
"KAWAII!" Setsuna exclaimed as she glomped the purple haired girl.
"Er…" Konan stuttered not sure quite what to make of this girl. She was under strict orders to kill the girl but for some reason… "How are you blocking my paper manipulation?"
"Manipulated the gravity on the paper so that it would take considerably more chakra than you are capable of generating in order to manipulate it." Setsuna explained.
Konan's eyes widened in realization of what this girl was capable of doing… the entire plan relied on the abilities of the Deva Path more than any of the other Paths. If this girl was capable of manipulating gravity on that fine a level, then the Deva Path was screwed.
"Um… Miss, can you let me go? I promise to behave." Konan stated.
Setsuna nodded and released the woman.
"Um… this may be impertinent of me, but why are you killing off the Paths of Pain?" Konan asked.
"The offend me on a fundamental level. In my society eating other people's souls has been taboo for centuries, and then one of them had the nerve to assault me with my own subordinate." Setsuna explained.
"Wait… what? Subordinate?" Konan asked.
"Mmmhmm. Knucklehead thought it a good idea to summon the King of Hell against someone who has dominion over the Afterlife." Setsuna explained.
"Dear Kami." Konan breathed out.
"Um… yes?" Setsuna asked with a chuckle.
"What?" Konan asked.
"You said, and I quote 'Dear Kami.' Well my dear, I happen to be the closest thing there is to such a person outside of the other Sailor Scouts… well unless I decide to take you to the world of Clocktower and figure out a way to introduce you to Amaterasu-ōmikami without getting you incinerated in the process." Setsuna explained with a grin.
"The hell… you mean there really are Gods out there?" Konan asked incredulously.
"Um… yes. Well at least in some realities. This one seems to have killed off its own somehow. Not really sure what happened there as I arrived long after it happened." Setsuna explained.
"Dammit, this is just going to go to Nagato's head if he learns of it."
"Learns of what, Konan?" a loud but emotionless voice said from behind Konan.
Setsuna frowned at the intruder in their conversation. However it was Konan who responded. "Deva Path. Great. This just went from enlightening to terrifying. Um… Miss, I am convinced enough to help you, but I am going to need my abilities back if I want to survive this."
Setsuna tapped Konan on the shoulder and said "There you go."
"Thanks."
"So what can this one do?" Setsuna asked.
"Control gravity." Konan said.
Setsuna gave Konan a deadpan look and said "Please tell me you are joking?"
"Not in the slightest bit." Konan said just as deadpan.
"Okay, well that makes things easy then." Setsuna said.
"What? What do you mean easy?" Konan screamed out incredulously.
"I just turn off his ability like this." Setsuna pointed the Garnet rod at the man and said "Off."
The Deva Path frowned and raised a hand saying "Banshō Ten-in."
His frown grew even deeper when absolutely nothing happened. "What did you do?"
"Like I said, I turned your ability off. Now my dear friend here can use her paper to eliminate you." Setsuna said with a cheery voice.
"Sorry Nagato, but you only claimed to be Kami, this girl has offered to introduce me to the real deal." Konan said with a said smile on her face, "Kami Shuriken!"
As soon as she said that hundreds of hardened pieces of paper flew off of her body and slammed into the Deva Path's body giving it all manner of severe paper cuts.
As the coupe de grace Konan raised both of her hands above her head and declared "Kami Chakram!" as a large whirling buzz saw of paper formed above her head which she launched at the Path.
This resulted in the Path being decapitated.
"Fascinating. Now tell me my dear, how many of these Paths are there and what do the want with my Prince?" Setsuna asked.
"Prince? Huh… Well originally there were six. If you had already dealt with the ones that can eat souls and summon the King of Hell, in addition to the one we just dealt with… then that leaves the Asura Path, Animal Path, and Preta Path… Oh and Nagato's main body, but he is immobile and not going anywhere anytime soon. He actually needs the help of either the Animal or Naraka Paths to get around anymore… though I imagine he can summon the King of Hell on his own, I've just never seen him do it." Konan explained.
"Okay, that helps, though you didn't answer the question about my Prince." Setsuna stated.
"Well the thing is… the thing is that the organization I was affiliated with through my friendship to Nagato has been collecting the nine Jinchuriki…"
"First question… what is a Jinchuriki?"
"They are people who have had one of the nine Tailed Demon Beasts sealed within them to prevent the beasts from destroying the world."
"My Prince has one of these sealed inside of him?" Setsuna asked incredulously.
"If his name is Naruto Uzumaki then yes…"
"Well in that case I will need to speed up the process of awakening his sister to her destiny." Setsuna stated.
"Sister?" Konan asked, "But Naruto is an only child, his parents died the night he was born and had no other children…"
"Oh… didn't I mention I am from another dimension? Well, the Queen of the Moon a few hundred years ago from my perspective was having a bit of a crisis as her kingdom was falling apart. So in a last ditch effort to rescue her kingdom she sent the souls of all of her subjects forward in time. This includes the souls of her twin children a son and daughter. The problem is that something got messed up in the process and the Prince's soul got sent to a different universe than it was supposed to be sent to. This universe. I only just managed to track it down." Setsuna explained.
"Oh buggering hell!" Konan exclaimed. "How screwed would we have been if he had died?"
"I would have kidnapped Primate Murder from Altrouge Brunestud and set him loose in this world." Setsuna stated.
"The hell is a Primate Murder?" Konan asked.
"Just what the name says." Setsuna said with a mad cackle as she started walking again.
xXx Townsquare xXx
xXx Half an Hour Later xXx
The three remaining Paths of Pein stood on one side of the square, Setsuna and Konan on the other. Both sides actively glaring at the other when suddenly a massive pop sounded and a large cloud of white smoke appeared out of thin air.
"Oh… that is wonderful. Could they have not summoned him into the middle of this like that?" Konan growled.
Setsuna used some mild repulsive force to clear the smoke, and grinned at what she saw before her. There standing on top of a rather gigantic toad was her Prince.
"Oi! Who are you, and why are you in such a flimsy outfit in a battle like this?" Naruto yelled down at Setsuna.
Setsuna pouted, "I will have you know that this outfit was specially designed by your mother!"
"Kaasan?" Naruto frowned.
"Now my Prince, come over here while I deal with those three nuisances." Setsuna stated.
"Naruto-chan, don't trust her, she is standing next to one of the people responsible for killing Jiraiya-chan." the wrinkled old toad next to Naruto stated.
Naruto narrowed his eyes at Konan.
"Yeah, sorry about that." Konan stated. "I know I can't make up for the loss of Sensei, but I can guarantee you that this woman has your best interests at heart, whereas those three over there will kidnap you and forcibly extract the Kyuubi from you, a process that is excruciatingly painful, and which will ultimately kill you."
"And if you die my Prince, I will set something loose in this world that is far worse than any Tailed Beast in retribution for killing someone that they should have treasured." Setsuna explained.
"Dammit, Fukasaku, you may be right to not trust the lavender haired girl, but the other one has given me no option but to trust her." Naruto ground out.
"You may be right Naruto-chan." Fukasaku conceded.
With that said, Naruto leapt over to Setsuna and Konan in a single bound. "Hi, I am Naruto Uzumaki, and you two are?"
"Konan." the lavender haired girl stated.
"For right now call me Sailor Pluto. Now, lets see, what did you say the abilities of these three were again Konan-chan?"
"Ah, well the small girl can summon any animal she wants no matter what it is and it is forcibly subjected it to her will." Konan stated.
Setsuna glanced over at the toads for a moment and said "Do toads normally get that large in this world?"
Naruto and Konan blinked, and both answered "Summons aren't from this world."
"Ah, well that explains what is sapping my gates then. I will be remedying that when we get to Pluto. For now, I think the best option for that one would be… hmm… yeah that should do it." Setsuna pointed the Garnet Rod at the girl and said "Go chillax at V4641 Sgr." and just like that the girl vanished from the battlefield.
Almost simultaneously the other two Paths fell to the ground and seemed to stop moving… or doing anything really.
"W-what did you just do?" Konan asked in shock.
"Tell me… how is Nagato controlling the Paths?" Setsuna asked.
"Chakra receivers, coupled with the Rinnegan Dojutsu. He can perceive everything that they do, and control their bodies as if they were his own." Konan answered.
"Well… that might explain what just happened then. The path I just teleported away is technically still 'alive,' but only because time moves so slowly where she is that it would appear to take… oh roughly one thousand years from our perspective for all her biological functions to completely stop functioning." Setsuna stated. "Which of course means that our good friend Nagato-san is currently perceiving the world at what... if it were a speed would be roughly Negative 671,000,001 Miles Per Hour. My magic may have also inadvertently and massively amplified the effect of those Chakra Receivers in her body judging by the fact he is receiving her signal from over 9,405,800,597,093,772 miles away from this planet right now."
"The hell? What could possibly do that?" Naruto asked in a completely horrified voice.
"A Quantum Singularity, or as it is more commonly known, a Black Hole. It's what happens when something like the Sun becomes so absolutely massive that it collapses in upon itself and begins to suck all the matter in the immediate region of space around it into itself. Objects with that kind of mass exhibit extreme Time Dilation Fields to the point that it is extremely dangerous to be anywhere near them, as once you enter the field it is too late to escape the gravitational pull of the Black Hole and you are ultimately going to be ripped apart at the subatomic level. Only myself and the residents of the Planet of Gallifrey in Universe 982 are truly safe from Black Holes, and I have revoked all travel privileges to Universe 982 or any universe that is in close proximity to it."
"Why did you revoke those privileges?" Konan asked.
"Because the self proclaimed 'Time Lords' are only able to claim such a title because they haphazardly travel through time like they own the time stream not caring what they mess up while they do so. Then when they realize they screwed up something major, they use one of their various pieces of advanced technology to retcon the entire situation so that it fits their vision of history. The only Time Lord I actually get along with is Kenneth." Setsuna explained.
"Kenneth?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Don't tell him I told you that, he doesn't even know I know his real name. Kind of hard to hide things like that when the time stream is my television set and his life provides some of the best entertainment. I mean I never even imagined he would marry someone who was effectively his own daughter. That was hilarious." continued Setsuna.
"Wait, what?" Naruto asked.
"Kenneth, otherwise known to the world by the name of 'The Doctor,' married a woman named River Song, who was a partial female clone of him. She had regenerations and everything."
xXxXxXx
Author's Note: Ooooh! How Dare I? I committed the ultimate taboo of giving a name to The Doctor… Ooh, Aah, run away in fear!
And yes. Setsuna and several other characters will both be OOC and breaking the fourth wall A LOT. As she is centuries old, she had to find something to entertain herself with. TV Tropes hadn't been invented yet… so she created an interdimensional television and started watching the lives of the protagonists of all those other universes that she had access to. She is a major couch potato, what did you expect the immortal guardian of time to do for entertainment?
