The Legend of the Fairy Sailors
Chapter 1
"I think we lost them." Artemis said as he and Luna had just escaped the siege on the palace of Crystal Tokyo. Neo-Queen Serenity, King Darien, and the ten year old Princess Rini had been taken captive after the fall of the four warriors that protected them.
"What can we do, Artemis? The others are fighting for their lives and we won't be able to reach the Outer Sailors in time." Luna had tears in her eyes.
"I don't know. If only there was a way we could find a power strong enough to beat this ancient evil." An ancient power had risen and came once more to conquer the Earth. The Ruler of Chaos had been imprisoned deep within the Earth since the beginning of time, but now he broke free and has vowed to finish what he had started. As Artemis spoke Luna tried to remember how Chaos was defeated before.
"In the legend about the Fall of Chaos there had to have been something that defeated him. I believe it was a group of fairies, or was it angels maybe?" Luna was trying to remember what it was that sealed Chaos in the Earth. The last time they had heard it was back during the Silver Millennium 2000 years ago when they lived in the Moon Kingdom.
"I can't quite remember either. Perhaps we should go talk to Pluto and see if she remembers." Pluto knew everything that happened in the past, present, and future as she was the guardian of the Gates of Times. They were out of any other ideas so Luna agreed. The only way they knew how to get a hold of her quickly was to time travel.
"Go get the Time Key Artemis and I'll get the Silver Crystal." Luna was barking orders at him.
"Why the Silver Crystal?" Artemis was slightly puzzled.
"So Chaos doesn't manage to get his hands on it and make things even worse." Luna dashed off to find the Silver Crystal.
"Oh right." Artemis said to himself as he snuck up to the queen's bedroom and hopped up on her vanity where her jewelry box lay. He opened the top of it and there on a golden chain was a little gold key with a pink crystal in the handle of it. It was the Time Key. Artemis took it and met Luna outside the vault where the Silver Crystal was kept. "Come on, let's go." She said and the two made their way out of the palace. They managed to make it all the way to the edge of the city without being noticed. Once outside the city they called upon the time god to take them to the gates of time. A cloud formed above them and they floated up towards it as pink light surrounded them. They found themselves in a dark tunnel with a large door up ahead of them. A dark figure was approaching them with a staff in her hands.
"Who dares approach the Time Portal? Time travel is forbidden and I can not let you pass." She prepared to attack as she spoke. The two cats walked closer.
"Sailor Pluto we need your help." As Luna spoke to her she lowered her staff.
"Luna! Artemis! What are you doing here?" They quickly explained to her about the reawakening of Chaos. "Yes you are remembering right Luna. There was a group of ten fairies that sealed Chaos deep within the core of Earth. I fear their power is the only thing that is strong enough to stop him."
"Pluto you have to tell us how to find the fairies." Artemis was dead serious.
"In the legend there were thirteen fairies born at the beginning of time: ten good, and three bad. The ten good fairies, also called the white fairies, possessed the power of light, darkness, wood, thunder, water, earth, fire, ice, metal, and air, while the bad fairies, also known as the dark fairies, controlled chaos, evil, and destruction. The dark fairies had the most power individually, but the power fueled their greed. The Fairy of Chaos soon devoured the Fairies of Evil and Destruction taking their power in his attempt to control everything. The white fairies banned together and combined their power to seal Chaos within the core of the Earth. With their remaining power they created a crystal that had the power to battle him should he ever rise again. They chose a guardian to keep the crystal and watch over the Earth for all eternity." Pluto paused slightly.
"I have one question." Luna was looking a little confused. "Why is the Fairy of Darkness one of the white fairies instead of one of the dark fairies?"
"The Fairy of Darkness and the Fairy of Light are twins: complete opposites really. They need one another to survive. All of the fairies have their powers rooted in either light or darkness. The white fairies have their power rooted in light while the dark fairies have their power rooted in darkness, where as the Fairies of Light and Darkness being twins have their powers rooted in each other which means that one can not exist without the other. Originally the Fairy of Darkness was one of the dark fairies, but the Fairy of Light led an attack on the dark fairies. When Chaos first struck down Light, Darkness also fell. In seeing this happen the white fairies used their powers to seal Darkness to a tree long enough to use their fairy stones to cleanse her soul and since then Darkness has fought with the white fairies. Since she has the power of darkness she is also the most vulnerable to the influences of the dark fairies."
"What happened to the guardian and the crystal?" Artemis was curious as always though he hadn't been paying much attention to what Pluto had just said.
"The guardian was the start of the Moon Royalty, and the crystal was the Imperium Silver Crystal." Both Luna and Artemis gasped. "With the Moon Kingdom destroyed there was no longer anyone to watch over the Earth. Chaos fed on the death and destruction that followed including all the battles the Sailor Scouts fought. He finally gained enough strength to break free of the fairies' bindings and attacked the Earth with more strength than ever before. If he has already attacked the royal family of Crystal Tokyo then his next target will be the fairies themselves. They spend a lifetime on Earth once every 1000 years. They lived and died during the battle in the Silver Millennium, they lived when the Sailor Scouts were reawakened dying during the battle for the future of the Earth, and they will be alive in Crystal Tokyo." Sailor Pluto paused a second for drama.
"The only thing is they will just barely have been born and they may not even all have been born yet. They will still be too young to harness and control the powers of their former fairy selves meaning that they will be useless in the fight. Your best bet is to travel back 1000 years and bring them to fight in the future. Normally this wouldn't be allowed, but the very existence of the time itself depends on it. If they aren't brought to save Crystal Tokyo everything will be destroyed." She finished talking and looked at the two cats. They knew what they must do. They were going back to the very early 21st century, right at the beginning of the millennium, to find the ten fairies that were their only hope at saving the world.
"I'm sending you back to the beginning of the 21st century to when all of the fairies were at an age where they can handle the power of the elements. Good luck on your mission. I anxiously await your return." Pluto waved as the cats walked through the door into another century. None of them knew it, but one of Chaos' henchmen was following them and heard the whole thing about the fairies. He wanted to find the fairies and destroy them before Luna and Artemis could get to them.
