Hello, any people who may read this, I'm The Universal Storyteller. This particular story will

be the first of many from me, I hope, here on fanfiction.net. I'll accept constructive criticisms, of

course. But I won't accept any flames, especially with strong language with them. So if you happen to

use strong language with me, your reviews will be ignored. Always, and completely, as a matter of fact.

With this story of mine here, at least, this will be your only warning, if at all possible. And please don't

bother ever asking me for any transgender, m-m, f-f, or hermaphroditic kinds of romantic, or so-called

romantic, relationships relating to the applicable characters for this or any other stories of mine here on

fanfiction.net. For such requests from my readers here will be always and completely ignored as well.

For I don't ever personally believe in them for protagonists in my stories, at all.

All characters that are definitely known to actually be part of the "Sailor Moon" Universe are

actually the property of their owner or owners, where applicable. As are the settings of this particular

story and any related stories I may write at any time. All other characters and/or settings that are non-

native to the "Sailor Moon" Universe are actually of my own creation, unless otherwise stated. If they

aren't actually of my own creation, they're actually the property and/or creation of their owner or

owners, where applicable. So don't bother suing me now, for I've not actually claimed your characters

and/or settings as mine here, if they're not actually of my own creation. Besides, I don't really have any

money. So you actually wouldn't get anything from me in that way anyway. I'm a financially poor

person, currently, if I won't always be. And so therefore, your chances of getting any money from me

at this time, if ever, are very small indeed. Probably even microscopic, at the current time.

All poems and/or songs in, at least, this story or series of stories are copyright to and/or of their

respective writers, performers, or authors, and/or their owners, wherever possible, if I'm actually not

their writer and/or owner as well. I claim nothing knowingly for my own, people, that I know isn't

actually mine. Just like I'm doing for any other elements and characters that I mentioned in the previous

paragraph here, I'm doing that here for all of the said poems and/or songs, in fact, people. So the

exact same disclaimer applies to them as it does for anything else related to this story and/or its series,

at least, if not any other story or stories of mine, people. That's whenever possible, of course.

Unless otherwise stated, at any time at all, I'll also be using the dubbed names for any

anime/manga character in this story and all related ones in this particular series of stories, at least. If not

any others as well, in fact. So please don't waste your time or mine, by asking me to use the Japanese

names for them in this series of stories. As with all flames, those kinds of comments will also be ignored

always and completely. Hopefully, this warning will only need to be given once here, in fact. For three

instances, Meiou Setsuna will be Susan Meyers, Ten'ou Haruka will be Alexis Herschel, and Chiba

Mamoru will be Darien Shields. Other characters with changed names will be noted later. And please

be aware that this story, at least, if not any others as well, may periodically delve into the areas of

alternate timelines, realities, and/or universes, as well as have at least some OOC elements for any or all

of the characters in it, at least a little bit, if not a lot. And it may or may not tie in with other stories of

mine that might feature its main characters, at least on the protagonists' side of things, in fact.

Forgotten Times, Forgotten Realms

Book One

Chapter One

Susan Meyers was sitting on a swiveling stool in the upscale nightclub, "Silver Hawk's Place",

when she suddenly felt the first stirrings of a possible invasion of time periods in the Universe's history.

The current Terran calendar year was AD 3014. And she was now sitting near a good-sized bartender

in a moderately-sized Crystal Tokyo nightclub. It was moderately late at night. Like on the order of

about 8:45 pm, local time, in Japan's Tokyo local area on Earth. And she was facing a man just a few

years older than she apparently was. He was a man who was wearing a leather jacket with a silver

hawk sewn onto its back. This man was considerably tall, as well. And he now had mostly wavy

black hair with some dark greenish streaks in it, except in some places where it was now starting to

gray and to recede just a little bit prematurely, in fact.

Susan Meyers was now in her late thirties, in Terran years, apparently. And the man in front of

her was apparently about three or four years older than she was. They had known each other for many

years, since before the end of the last millennium more than a decade before, in fact. She was actually

married, at the current time. But she was also expecting company later on at the nightclub. For this

night was currently Ladies' night at the nightclub, in actual reality. She was hoping that several of her

close friends would be actually able to come to the nightclub as well, so that they could listen to an up-

and-coming American country singer that Susan had met around town a little while before. However,

she didn't yet know if any or all of them would be able to make it there well enough and easily enough,

for reasons probably too numerous to mention completely enough here.

She asked, "Carlos, may I have some green tea, grape juice, and hot chocolate mixed together

here, please?"

"Coming right up, Susan. What's on your mind right now? You seem to be worried about

something at least a little bit here."

"Well, I was wondering if all my friends would be able to make it here well enough, to listen to

that singer, at least. Supposing that they were old enough to come in here, of course."

"Like Neo-Queen Serenity, for instance?"

"Yes, I do mean her and several other members of her crowd, in fact, Carlos."

"What else is bothering you?"

"It seems to me that something seems to be getting rather strange quite a bit around here now.

At least as it pertains well enough to the Time Gates that I usually have to watch over in my life here,

Carlos. Though I don't really know why here, for some yet-unknown reason, I now have this rather

strange feeling that Crystal Tokyo's existence might very well be in danger again, for the first time in at

least a little while."

"We made it through the Black Moon Crisis well enough, I think. You and your friends helped

with defeating them when the need arose at that time, and in the past, if I remember well enough here."

"Yes, that's so. And I eventually met my future husband sometime later, as you know by now,

of course, Carlos. He's currently home with the kids, while I and the rest of my friends are hoping to

watch this American singer perform here for a while."

"We haven't had to worry about any monsters for a while, at least, if I remember correctly

enough here."

"That may change in the very near future, I'm quite afraid, Carlos. And the Sailor Scouts may

be needed again to combat a new evil force. Just as they have been needed in the past at least a few

times before."

"I hope that all of them won't be necessary to oppose such a force if it ever comes to threaten

the existence of Crystal Tokyo, somehow, Susan."

"So do I, Carlos. So do I. But you and I may have to fight again. And so might Crystal Sailor

Charon, my cousin, if what I've been noticing at the Time Gates is sufficiently accurate with its views of

potential pasts, presents, and futures, Carlos." She said this just as Carlos brought her the drink she'd

just ordered from him here.

"My wife really won't like possibly having to fight again at all, I think." He said this to her here

as he then handed her that drink.

"Maybe not. But I still think that it might be a very good possibility that she will eventually have

to do so at least once more in her life. So you might as well tell her here that she might have to do that.

I can't say much more than that at the current time. For I really don't know quite enough about this

particular feeling that I'm now beginning to have yet, though, Carlos." She said this as she began to sip

at the drink he'd just given her here.

Just then, several people entered the nightclub in rather casual clothes, in fact. They were all in

different colors, and all were dressed at least a bit differently than Susan was now dressed, as they

entered that nightclub. Susan was wearing a lavender and medium green outfit, except where a mostly

white blouse was present on her person, of course. Her blouse had its top button only unbuttoned.

The other buttons of the blouse were all buttoned quite neatly, and they had decorations in the form of

Pluto's astronomical symbols on their tops.

There were ten women who were about the same age in that group of people. One was mainly

in light blue, and she had short black hair that often looked quite bluish in its nature. A second was

mainly in gold and orange, with a medium blue-trimmed red bow in her blonde hair. A third was in

medium blue and yellow, and had shoulder-length mostly reddish-brown hair. A fourth was mainly in

pink, gold, and white, and with blonde meatball-like buns on top of her head. A fifth was mainly in gold

and black, and had moderately black wavy hair. A sixth was mainly in a purple and bright red outfit,

and had long black hair currently up in a pair of ponytails on the sides of her head. A seventh was

mainly in hunter green and pink, wearing rose-like earrings in her ears, and much of her wavy hair was

now in a single auburn ponytail secured with some dark green beaded hairbands on either end of that

ponytail. An eighth was mainly in a mostly deep purple and black outfit, and she now had shoulder-

length black hair that was quite straight, at least for the most part, anyway. A ninth woman in the group

of friends had a rather boyish cut to her roughly chin-length blonde hair, as she wore a mostly navy blue

and gold outfit, and she was rather tall, in fact. The woman just behind her in the group had aqua green

hair that was at least a little wavy, as it fell roughly to her shoulders, while she was wearing a simple light

green and gold dress, and while she held a matching purse in the hand opposite that of the woman

nearest her in their group.

When Susan heard them all come in, she turned around to face them, and said to Carlos, "My

friends are now here. Hopefully our entertainment will show by the scheduled time of 9 local time,

Carlos."

"As far as I know, Melissa Charles should show up by then. At least that's what she was

hoping the last time I heard from her around 7:30 this evening."

Susan then let out a whistle, as other people began to file into the nightclub as well. As soon as

the woman in pink, gold, and white heard it, Susan saw her head pop up in sudden recognition, in fact.

And moments later, Susan's friends came over to where she now was in the nightclub. Susan then put

some money down on the counter for her drink, and Carlos took it, of course. That done, Susan then

led them to a nearby table or two elsewhere in the nightclub. The woman in purple and red soon said,

"Hello, Susan. I wonder if this artist is any good."

"I suppose we'll see soon enough, of course, Raye," said Susan, to that woman here in their

group. "I hear she's an up-and-coming artist back in the United States of America of late, in fact.

She's going to be doing some old songs, though, from about a thousand or so years ago, as part of her

singing set here, I think. As well as the obvious new songs, of course, from her and other writers for

her latest album, which is her second, I believe."

"Serena here, for instance, was really hoping that she was any good at all, in fact, Susan."

"Well, if what I hear of her is accurate enough, she might even be a lot like you, Mina, Alexis,

and Michelle were before you all got married, about ten or twenty years ago, Raye."

"I don't think that we were quite as popular as she seems to be, Susan, back then. If you

remember, we other were otherwise occupied in our lives, Susan. Scout business often interfered with

our hopes and plans in that regard, as you very well know by now."

"Not to mention the fact that it often wreaked considerable havoc on all our love lives, I'm quite

sure, Raye."

"Lita didn't get a husband until after the end of the Black Moon Crisis in this time period,

Susan," said Raye.

"But she still ended up with Ken again, right?"

"Yes, she did. As she did in the late 20th and early 21st Centuries, she ultimately ended up

with Ken in this time period as well. She liked Andrew for a while in this time period, in fact. But she

eventually ended up with Ken, and Andrew ended up with Rita, in fact," answered Raye.

The girl mentioned as Lita here then said, "That's true, Raye. Nephlyte also made plays for

Molly and me, before he eventually ended up with someone else entirely, in both time periods. Just as

Jadeite had done, after making at least one such play for you earlier, before Chad eventually won you

again, as he'd done at least once before, if not more than that, Raye."

"And I'm glad that Chad won me again in this time period, just as he did in at least one or two

other time periods, Lita. I thank God every single day that he has done so again in my life, in fact, Lita.

It hasn't always been easy for us to stay together, for the obvious reasons. But just as Serena and

Darien have shared a love between each other in at least one other time period besides this one, we

have also done the same with each other, Jupiter girl."

Lita McKinley now represented the Terran solar system's planet of Jupiter for the Sailor

Scouts, in fact. Others with her now did the same for other known planets, moons, and/or asteroids in

the Terran solar system, at the very least, if not in any other solar systems as well, elsewhere in the

known Universe.

The woman in light blue represented Mercury for the Sailor Scouts, and her name was Amy

Anderson. The one in gold and orange represented Venus for the Sailor Scouts, and her name was

Mina Abernathy. The one in pink, gold, and white represented Earth's Moon, her name was Serena

Moon Shields, and she was also Crystal Tokyo's Neo-Queen Serenity. While the woman with

reddish-brown hair and who was in medium blue and yellow represented Earth, both as a Sailor Scout

and as a civilian by the name of Molly Baker. The woman in gold and black was named Luna, and she

was now actually the chief advisor of the woman who currently represented Earth's Moon as Crystal

Sailor Moon. The woman in purple and red did the same for Mars for the Sailor Scouts, and her name

was Raye Hino. The woman in deep purple and black here did the same for Saturn for the Sailor

Scouts, and her name was Hannah Tompkins. The woman with the rather boyish haircut who was

wearing a mostly navy blue and gold outfit represented Uranus in the Terran solar system, and her name

was Alexis Herschel. Her aqua green-haired best friend did the same for Neptune there, and her name

was Michelle Gallenski, in fact. Susan, for her part of things, represented Pluto as a Sailor Scout, and

as already stated, her civilian name was Susan Meyers. In actual reality, however, all the women in

Susan's current group of friends had been married for at least a few years. And they'd all actually

known each other in at least two different time periods, if not more than that, for reasons that were

currently too numerous to mention, most likely. In situations like this, though, even though all their

married names were different in actual reality, they might periodically use their maiden names to get

around anywhere in the world. This was one of those particular situations, actually. And they'd be

using them here for at least as long as they could then do so, quite naturally enough, in fact.

They talked for a little while longer, then, before Susan eventually said to Serena, "Things seem

to be getting rather strange again near the Time Gates, Serena. It could be that the Sailor Scouts may

be needed again here to fight various evil beings from anywhere else in the Universe, Serena."

"Do you have any more information about that sort of thing than that, Susan?"

"No. Just before you got here, I started to feel the first stirrings of possible trouble elsewhere in

the Universe's history. I don't know where and when, exactly, in fact. But if I'm not mistaken, what I

gathered from my sensing of those stirrings in the Universe's countless time streams, whatever I sensed

might not bode well for any or all of us, or for Crystal Tokyo's very existence, Serena."

"Who's watching the Time Gates now?"

"Sailor Cometa, my older sister, and Sailor Trammeyna, my younger sister. If I'm needed, then

they'll notify me as soon as possible, of course, Serena."

"Why aren't you there now?" asked Serena.

"I haven't had enough time away from the Gates for at least a few months, Serena. This is my

first time away from them for a long enough period of time in that length of time. I spend at least half a

day every 24 hours quite near them, at least whenever I can, that is, Serena. I thought this would be a

good time to take a bit of a break from being there for a while. Besides, my sisters Deborah and Tracy

should be able to take care of things well enough there at least while we're trying to enjoy ourselves for

a while. They've not been around me for a while, for they live elsewhere in the world now, as you now

know, Serena."

"I hope you're right. Though they don't have quite as much experience with and around the

Time Gates that you've been able to gain in the past with and around them, if I remember correctly."

Just then, the expected artist came out on the nightclub's main stage with her band, and began

warming up, just a few minutes before 9 pm local time. It only took just a few minutes for her and her

band to be sufficiently warmed up here. And then she quite calmly prepared to begin her set of songs

that she'd chosen for her current performance at Silver Hawk's Place, just as soon as everyone else in

the nightclub was sufficiently ready for her to begin it. Little did she or anyone else who was currently

at the nightclub know what was about to happen, in fact. But whatever it was, it probably wouldn't be

very good for anyone else at all here. This was, or soon would be, for all of the obvious reasons, in

actual reality, if Susan's earlier rather strange feelings about various things here were sufficiently

accurate at the same time, quite naturally enough.

******************************************************************************

What do you think about this so far, readers? I have many more ideas about what might

happen next, but I would like to see what you think, before I add more to this story here. I also would

like suggestions for the title of this story from you, if you'd like to give them to me, eventually, by the

time that this story hits Chapter Ten. I believe that I'll be putting at least 30-35 chapters in this story,

depending on how often the inclination strikes me to add one or more chapters for it. Remember, no

flames will be accepted, but constructive criticism will be accepted, readers. I would really like to see

where this story goes, and how far I can take it before I begin any sequels or prequels to it. So please

don't forget to read and review in appropriate language, if and whenever the need or desire for you to

do so strikes you here. Other characters from various television, movie, game, or book series may or

may not also make their appearances in this series. But only if I feel the need for them to do so, of

course. Thanks for your time, and I await seeing what you all have to say about this story here, in fact.

Take care, and God bless you all, God willing, as well, in actual reality.
