Prologue

MU: I know, I know. I started this a while ago, but didn't have time to put it up, so here it is!

Disclaimer: This is a Sailor Moon fanfic, but I do NOT own it! Naoko Takeuchi-san does.

8-year old Amber was playing at the park on a beautiful summer day at the park when she heard a rustling in a nearby a tree. Curious about what it was, Amber walked over to the tree

Meanwhile, a mysterious black woman was hidden in the shadows in a tree right above where the girl was. She was in black ninja clothes, and all you could see was her eyes. She waited for a chance to kidnap the girl, and she would be able to complete his plan. Queen Beryl will be most pleased, she thought to himself, slightly smirking. As soon as the girl stopped by the tree, she held out her hand, palm forward.

Amber had just stopped when all of a sudden, ropes appeared around her and bound her. "HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!" Amber screamed, struggling in her bonds. The ninja dropped out of the tree. Amber squirmed, trying to get out of the ropes. "Who are you?"

"I'm the one that needs your energy for my plan, and that's all you need to know," the woman replied. He took hold of the rope the was separate from the rest.

"LET ME GO!" Amber shouted at her, and a golden light formed around her. It grew brighter, and she broke free of the ropes.

"What the—Fine, I guess I'll have to take you the hard way." The woman started forward to grab her. Amber stepped back a few steps.

"GET BACK!" Amber shouted, holding her hand palm forward in front of her. The golden light gathered and pushed the ninja woman back. She crashed into the tree hard. "Whoa, what did I do?" Amber asked, staring at her hands, then at the woman.

"I don't know, but I'm going to get you, no matter what it takes."

"Oh, I don't think so," Amber retorted. She formed a golden ball in her hand and threw it at him. This time, he fell onto the ground. The man stood up slowly, weakened from Amber's attacks.

"I'll come back for you, next time with reinforcements," the woman replied angrily. She made a black portal and he was sucked into it (remind you of anyone?). Amber stared at the spot where he had disappeared, still confused at what had happened. How did I know how to make that ball to attack him? And the shield thing? How did I get that power? Who is he, anyways? What does he want me for? Amber had these and other questions going through her head. She set off for home, still thinking about the battle with the mystery man.

Meanwhile, the woman was standing in front of a large throne while the woman sitting on the throne was scolding him. "You couldn't even capture an Earth child, so why should I put you in charge of the energy gathering?"

"That girl has…powers of some sort. She was too strong for me. I don't think it's normal for people of her kind to have that sort of power, since she seemed confused about it, my queen," the man explained.

"SILENCE! I don't care about that, you just aren't competent enough for things like this. I'll put Jedite in charge of the energy gathering so you take care of the girl. I can see you can handle only one assignment at a time."

"But Queen Beryl…"

"It has been decided." With that, the woman disappeared.

The woman formed her hand into a fist. Whoever that girl is, she will pay, he thought. And I'll show Queen Beryl that I'm competent enough for both jobs.

All of that day, Amber's mind reflected back on the battle, still not sure what happened exactly. Finally, she decided to ask her mom about it. She walked into her parent's bedroom, where her mom was laying on the bed. "Mom, can I ask you something?"

"Sure honey, what is it?" her mom asked, sitting up.

"Well," Amber started, sitting on the bed, "what would you think if a ninja guy with magic powers jumped out of a tree, tried to kidnap you, then somehow you use a kind of magic to stop him, or her, without realizing it?"

"What are you talking about?" her mom questioned, unsure of what Amber was saying.

"Just answer the question, please."

"Well, I guess I would… Well, I don't know. Why do you ask?"

"That's what happened at the park to me, Mom, but I don't know what happened."

"Are you feeling alright, Amber?" Her mom felt her forehead.

"Yes, Mom, I'm fine, but I'm totally serious. A guy somehow made ropes bind me without using his hands, then when I shouted at him to let me go, a light freed me, then I made a shield around me to stop him from grabbing me, then I threw gold energy balls at him. I have magic powers, see?" Amber made a gold energy ball in her hand, then made it disappear.

Her mother sat there, shocked, then she composed herself. "I…honestly don't know what to say, other then you either shouldn't use them, or you should find a good use for them."

"Can you keep it a secret, Mom? I want my life to stay normal, despite my powers."

"Sure," her mom replied, giving her a big hug. "I won't tell anyone."

"Don't tell Dad, either. I'll tell him myself when I'm ready."

"That's fine with me." Amber got off the bed and ran to go play.
