Nebula Senshi Arc
Episode Zero
Written by: Kchan

Disclamer: I have not created SailorMoon or any other characters from the show. The animated television series SailorMoon is produced by Toei Animation Co. Ltd, and is based on the manga series by Naoko Takeuchi, first published in Japan by Kodansha Ltd. I have made this fanfic to express how much I really like the show Sailor Moon!!

Prologue: Every new beginning comes from some other's beginning's end.

A blinking cursor appears on a small monitor. Words begin to formulate on this tiny screen in a green text. Cryogenic sleep deactivated, are the words it first types, then it stops briefly to return to a new line and types out, Intense light detected, course has been altered to Milky Way galaxy, approaching a small solar system. It pauses again, and goes to a new line and prints out the haunting text, ALERT! Dark Matter presence detected. It starts to print this line over and over again, while activating a loud alarm. Two brown eyes open to see this small monitor and its message. The brown eyes slowly fully open and stares in shock of the text that is continue to repeat on end.

"Comp, stop that blaring alarm, I get it already." A small paw touches the monitor screen and it disappears. "So I've finally found the legendary brightest light in the universe, and Dark Matter at the same time?" A yawn escapes from his mouth as he stares blankly at the solar system ahead of him. "Comp how long have I been asleep?"

The monitor pops up with the cursor. "27 light years equivalent to 2 Heli cycles." A frown appears on his lips as he makes the screen disappear once again with his touch.

"It's been that long since I've started this journey? Oh God, I hope I can find this so called legendary warrior with the brightest light ever. Perhaps then Dark Matter can be defeated. He winces with the brief memory of what happened. Blurs of pain of a battle gone horribly wrong flash through his head at an extraordinary speed. He sees his home Nebula, his army, the united Nebula senshi force and most of all his warrior fall at the hand of Dark Matter. He sees Sailor Helix, retrieved the tool he was sent to give to her from Lady Helix. He sees Dark Matter and feels the pain of having Dark Matter barely touching him. He remembers Sailor Helix grabbing him before he is obliterated and tossing him out of the fray. These memories flash out of sequence and faster as he clutches his chest and falls to his knees as he remembers them. He sees Sailor Helix and her team disappear in the darkness. He feels hopeless, depressed, tainted as he somehow finds his way home to Lord and Lady Helix. He barely remembers hearing about how Dark Matter faded away as quickly as he came. The orders he received from Lady Helix about finding the brightest light in the universe is the only thing that can stop Dark Matter repeats over in his mind. For some reason Lady Helix insists that only can this "brightest light" can destroy Dark Matter and somehow bring Sailor Helix and the other warriors back from their demise. The flooding of memories stop as he notices small orbs appear as he zips by them. They are extremely black and almost translucent.

"Has Dark Matter touched these….?" He is interrupted by his monitor popping up with its familiar green text.

"Analysis complete. Dark Matter has eaten the warriors of these planets. Dark Matter is after the warrior with the brightest light. If Dark Matter gets to this warrior, all is lost. Increasing speed to Earth." He touches the screen and stares in sheer terror at these orbs called planets and the plaque they have.

"Is there any hope, or is this fruitless? Am I doomed to travel alone for all eternity after a thing that will eventually eat all the light in the universe?" He watches a planet titled on its side zoom by, one with multiple rings and moons, a very large and gaseous one and an asteroid belt, all looking pretty grim. "This is hopeless." He sighs and sits down on the translucent floor. "What is that?" He spots a red orb with two small satellites.

"That is the planet Mars. Dark Matter has not yet devoured the inner planets of this Solar System. Detecting the brightest light on the next planet, the one called Earth." He stares at the lovely red ball called Mars.

"Thanks, Comp." he flicks the screen off and breathes a sigh of relief. "Perhaps I'm not too late, and perhaps Lady Helix is right. If I can find this warrior, maybe, just maybe she can bring back our warriors and defeat Dark Matter." He watches as a new orb comes in focus, a lovely blue and white one. An orb of such two colors combining together, giving him an intense feeling of hope that overwhelms him. "Comp is that..?"

"Affirmative. That is Earth, and its satellite the moon. Currently the moon princess is on Earth, and not her home kingdom." Puzzled by his computer's last text he stares at the approaching elegant ball. The closer he approaches this sphere, more mixed feelings fill him, one of hope, happiness, and darkness intertwined. As these feelings make him bewildered, he sees for the first time in a long time, clouds as he approaches the atmosphere.

"Comp, clouds, not like our lovely ones at home, but they are such a welcome site. Where is the moon princess, our legendary brightest light, located at?" He stares at his monitor as it flickers it cursor but doesn't formulate any words. "Comp?"

"Collecting Data. Please wait." The cursor turns into a bouncy ball that goes across the monitor. He rolls his eyes and continues to stare at the clouds and now a huge expanse of ocean. Then he feels it. A warm glow that feels his heart, which is almost tugging him to look in the opposite direction he is going. He turns to look sensing something he thought he had lost long ago. "It can't be…"

"Brightest light located on a small piece of land. Changing course."

"Land? What do you mean?"

"Terra, earth, dirt, from which these beings live on, they do not live in the clouds." He stills feels the warm glow in his heart as he is flabbergasted by the concept of land. Before he can even acknowledge his thoughts on what he is feeling, the monitor flashes.

"WARNING, WARNING. Dark Matter is detected near the brightest light. Must do evasive action to protect the brightest light. Altering course."

"Wha…?" The tiny ship jerks around as it goes faster, causing him to fall flat on his face. "Comp, slow down, you're going to crash at this rate."

"Affirmative. Must save the princess." His stomach lurches as he attempts to stand up with no avail.

"What about me? I'm going to die in this process!"

"Negative." Panic overwhelms him as his computer extends a metal arm and grabs a hold of him.

"COMP! What are you doing? Put me down!" He flails his arms.

"You must live, find the princess advisors and inform them of what Lord and Lady has ordered you to do. You must help save us."

"How can I do that when you plan to crash? I need you! I can't get back to the Helix Nebula if you blow up! Comp? COMP! Stop it!! Don't deploy me! Comp?"

"Goodbye commander and good luck. You will find away, you always have."

"NO!!!!!" He is hurled out of his ship with a protective shield surrounding him as he falls to a green mass below him. The scenery quickly changes to dark purple and black and shows a huge darkness sphere enveloping city. Flying towards this he sees his ship go further towards the center of this sphere and then he sees a huge explosion.

"This isn't my day…" He thinks as he sees a gray flat substance come closer. "And this is going to hurt." Impact. Intense pain. A bounce. Darkness. He opens his eyes and rolls on his back to see the purple sky. "Comp, you have faulty programming. You didn't stop anything and succeeded in breaking my back." He struggles to get up and sees two cats one white and one black, screaming Sailor Moon over and over again. He limps over to them and mutters "The advisors are cats? I hope I'm not too late." He speaks and the cats turn around to watch him fall on his face.
