Story Untold

Chapter 1

"Unraveling"

To the many onlookers and people who lived there, the Moon was a wonderful and peaceful place. The time of the Silver Millennium, ruled by Queen Serenity. She was said to be the most loving woman in the galaxy. And her daughter, Princess Serenity, was said to be the most beautiful and desirable woman around, even more beautiful then the Goddess of Love and Beauty herself.

Not only did Queen Serenity care for the planets under her rule, but also for those outside her galaxy, which sometimes caused a lot of trouble for herself she did not really need to be in. The most talked about current event was the peace treaty between the Moon and the Earth. The King and Queen of Earth had finally decided to consider joining the Silver Millennium but were still on edge about it.

All this politic stuff seemed to be way out of Princess Serenity's league. She understood some of it and did care for her people and friends, but she was like any other girl. Her biggest worries were what dress she should wear at the upcoming ball. And this is how Queen Serenity liked it. She wanted her daughter to live as carefree and happy as any girl, without too much glammer and spoils.

However she knew her daughter was getting older and needed to start taking more action into political affairs. As wise as she was, she also knew getting older met other things. Her daughter's life would soon be filled with all the drama of being a teenager, 16 to be exact, and now of age.

Queen Serenity however had no time to take any action into the matter. Before she knew it a growing problem outside her peaceful kingdom had finally caught her attention.

She sat in her chair, bent over. Her hand rubbing her head trying to find some relaxation, and her eyes glazed with tiredness. The huge doors that made the entrance way opened with a pang, signaling the arrival of someone. Queen Serenity straightened up and looked onward.

"A messenger your highness." The guard announced at the door. Queen Serenity waved her hand gracefully.

"Yes, yes send him in." She said refinedly. The guard stepped back allowing a short man with mousy black hair to enter carrying a piece of paper in hand. He bowed as he entered and then approached her.

"Queen Serenity of the Silver Millennium, I am afraid I must bring you troubling news." He bowed deeply again. The Queen frowned and signaled for him to continue. "Well as I am sure you are aware of, attacks in the far galaxy have been happening more and more."

"Yes I am aware of such." She said kindly.

"Yesterday in an attack the planet of Veoset was destroyed." The Queen moved uneasily in her seat, worried.

"I was not informed of this by my advisors and by the Alliance." She said shocked.

"Yes… this news was to be delivered strait to you in secret. We fear that the destruction of this planet is a decoy. The pattern of these attacks is moving closer and closer to another planet, which has sent me here today to ask for your help."

"Which planet requests my help?" She looked at him.

"Kinmoku." He bowed. "The Queen wishes to send three of her warriors here to talk with you about protection and stay for a while as guests in your palace."

"Stay in the palace?" She questioned the man.

"Yes, with the attacks coming closer to her kingdom she also wishes to learn more about the Moon and its Kingdom. She has heard great things about you and wishes to hear about it first hand. She hopes that an alliance could be made."

Serenity leaned back in her chair, slowly taking it all in. She then leaned back down and placed her hands in her lap. "Tell your Queen I would be honored to have her warriors stay in the palace and that I will try to offer as much help as I can." She smiled genuinely. The small man smiled back and bowed once more before exiting the room. Queen Serenity leaned back in her chair and sighed. "Oh dear, what is to happen now?"

Outside the dreary and stressful walls of the Thrown Room the mood was completely different. The carefree people of the Moon went on with their daily lives without being bothered by such news. The marketplace was bustling with business and the Royal Gardens and wild ones were full in bloom. Couples walked down the roads hand in hand and small children clinged to their mother's dresses.

Nearby a small shop was having a Jewelry sale. Crowds of girls had dragged their boyfriends along to look.

"Ahh… look at that one!"

"Buy that one for me!"

"Yes gather round everyone, rare jewels not even the Princess herself has at a low, low price!"

"WAHH, really, really?" The girls started shrieking. One of them who wore a pink hooded cape leaned over and looked at the jewels on the table. She looked at them in disgust.

"That's because they are so cheap." She said more to herself. The owner of the shop heard her and looked up furiously.

"What did you say about my jewels little girl!" She ranted. The girl just turned around to leave but felt herself being grabbed and pulled back. "What did you say?" She turned around and looked at the woman in the face.

"Only the truth… they are cheap. Second Rate. Of course you are selling them for a low price. The edges of them are rugged and there is no shine to them at all. You really shouldn't rip people off… it against the law."

"She's right!" Girls were now picking them up and examining them closer. "These are fake…"

"They are just painted up to look real!"

"What, really?"

"I want my money back!"

"Yeah give me my money back!" Storms of protest came from the crowd of girls who surrounded the owner demanding their money back. The owner was shocked and upset looking from girl to girl. She then turned to the girl whose arm she still had a hold of.

"You ruined me you little bitch!" The owner grabbed the front of the girls' clothes. "How dare you! I did nothing to you!"

"You broke the law." She said plainly. "And tried to cheat these girls out of their money. You'll be lucky if I don't report you to the Queen."

"Ohh, and the Queen would really listen to someone like you, you peasant!" The owner raised her hand ready to slap her, the girl not even moving to defend herself.

"AHH! HOLD IT!" A sharp voice from behind the crowd made everyone stop and turn around. "She's right there!" A girl with long black hair, dressed in a red dress and a deep velvet cape came running up to the scene, pointing ahead. Three more girls were running to catch up. The girl wearing the pink cape sighed and hung her head.

"Ah, damn they found me." She sighed. One of the girls in the crowd screeched.

"Ah, Princess Mars! It's the four Princesses!"

The owner dropped the girl and looked on in horror. "From the palace… they serve the Queen!" She looked down at the girl she was going to hit. "Are you a fugitive or something?" She just giggled.

Princess Mars made her way through the crowd of awe struck girls and their crushing boyfriends. Her eyes were lowered in a mad glare.

"What the hell are you doing? Running off like that… again!" She yelled furiously in the girls face. "And starting a fight none the less!"

The shop owner made her way to Mars with a fake sad expression. "Your highness, its awful, she accused me of selling fake Jewels and then she started a fight! You should arrest her!" Mars just glanced at the woman in disbelief.

"More or less, its you who should be arrested." Three girls came walking in, out of breath. One with long blonde hair pulled into a braid and topped with a red bow, wearing an orange dress. Another had shoulder length blue hair, wearing a light blue and green dress. The other was tall and gave an aura of strength yet elegance. She had dark brown hair pulled back into a ponytail and wearing a deep forest green dress. It was the blonde who spoke, Princess Venus, Goddess of Love and Beauty. She looked at the tacky jewels set out for display and purchase. "Not only were you trying to rip people off but you were about to attack her."

"But she is-"

The girl lowered her hood and removed her pink cape, fully showing her face for the first time. She wore a pink dress with a white flowered design, with long see-through sleeves. Her hair was a golden blonde, a braid around her head ending in the back where her curly hair laid loosely. What was most interesting about her was a gold crescent moon in the middle of her forehead. "Princess Serenity." She smiled and bowed at the shop owner.

An outbreak of murmur could be heard from all the onlookers, who had grown twice as big at least, by now. "She almost hit the Princess…." At this point the owner was in complete horror. She fell to the ground at Serenity's feet and started begging for forgiveness. "Please… I needed the money… If I had known it were you… I would have never… please do not arrest me your highness… I'll do anything…"

"Anything?" Serenity looked down at the sobbing woman before her feet.

"Yes anything, your highness, anything!" She sobbed again. Princess Serenity just smiled. Slowly she kneeled down on the floor and looked at the woman.

"Please stop begging. Just get rid of your fake jewels and promise not to rip people off anymore." The woman looked up in shock. "Yes, that's it." Princess Serenity got off up the ground. "Oh…" She said looking at all the girls. "And kindly return their money."

She turned around and left with the four Princesses to cries of 'you heard her' and 'give us our money'. Princess Mars smacked her on the back of her head. Serenity turned around in anger.

"What was that for?" She whined.

"Geez… What do you think? Ditching us, running around on your own, and then doing stuff like that. As if you don't get enough attention… that stuff is none of your business so stop playing hero to get even more spotlight!" She raged on.

"I honestly didn't mean to do it! I was just looking at her jewels until I saw they were fake!" She protested.

"You weren't supposed to be looking at them in the first place." Jupiter sighed. Serenity turned around with tears in her eyes.

"You too Jupiter!" She grabbed her friend's arm and pouted.

"But whats more important is you missed all your lessons for today." Princess Mercury sighed, holding onto her books. Serenity just raised on eyebrow.

"Oh darn." She said sarcastically. Mars turned on her again.

"You... YOU! That was your whole plan wasn't it?" She said outraged. Serenity smiled slyly and stuck her tongue out.

"Your so smart Mars…"

"Why you!"

"BUT!" Venus cut across their arguing. "Whats more important is, what if you had been attacked or kidnapped or something and we weren't there!"

"Oh come on Venus, who would wanna kidnap me… except some hot guy who cant resist me!" She smiled. "Did you see all those guys when they saw who I was."

"Oh get off of it." Mars glared. "They drooled for me too!"

"That's not the point…" Venus grabbed her forehead annoyed. Jupiter patted Venus on the back in support.

"Just let it go Venus… they are in their own fantasy world."

"WHOS IN A FANTASY?" Mars and Serenity pounced on her.

"Anyway… we better be going back to the palace. Dinner should be soon." Mercury told them all. Princess Serenity jumped up in the air happily.

"Food, food, food!"

Mars frowned as everyone else laughed. "You're unbelievable."

Dinner was a quiet one, except for the small fight that broke out between Mars and Serenity. In the end she spilled that Serenity had skipped all her lessons, which resulted in Serenity being confined to the palace for a week.

"You're grounding me?" She asked her mother in shock. Queen Serenity waited tell she was finished eating her carrots before replying.

"Yes." She said.

"Gah… how can you put it so simply... Mama?" She whined. "I'm sixteen... Mama!"

"It's only a week."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Serenity was laying on her bed with the light next to her on, barely lighting up her huge room. "Only a week… she says. Stupid Mars…" She rolled over on her bed, and then flew up in panic. "Ack, no! There's a huge festival tomorrow night! NO WAY! I can't miss that. I know, I'll tell Mama that the Princess should make an appearance. Yeah, that might work!" Determined she got out of bed slipping her night robe on and setting off to find her mother. She snuck around the halls to her mother's room only to find she wasn't there. "Eh, where could Mama be at this hour of the night?" The only place left she could think of was the Thrown Room. She slipped around the castle silently and came to rest outside of it. The door was cracked open and she peered in to see her mother sitting there with her head down.

"Ah! Ma- eh?" Just as she was about to run in a finely dressed man came up and bowed to her. Princess Serenity got as close to the door as she could.

"Their names?" The Queen asked the man.

"Warriors who protect the crown Princess your highness, Taiki, Yaten, and Seiya." He said. Queen Serenity nodded.

"Very well." She sighed. "We must greet them properly when they arrive. However, do not make a huge deal of why they are here. I don't want worry to spread in this matter. My people are happy, I do not want that to change."

He bowed, "Yes your highness… your highness?" He looked up at her, asking her permission to say something.

"Yes, what is it?" She asked politely.

"You should know…the people of Kinmoku aren't happy about what is happening. Not the fighting…they aren't happy with us. They don't believe in the Queen's motives of turning to us." He finished.

"Yes, I have heard. However, I'm afraid they will have worse things to be upset about as time passes us, and I'm afraid… we will have as well." As Serenity leaned in closer the door squeaked open, causing the Queen and the man to look over.

Princess Serenity ran back to her room as fast as possible, closing the door behind her and falling into bed.

"Geez... I was almost caught." She looked up at the ceiling. "What was that all about? Whats going on…Mama?"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"I don't like this at all!"

"Shut up, you don't have a say in the matter!"

"But leaving when we could be attacked any moment… what about the Princess?"

"The Princess will be fine, we are leaving so we can protect her."

"Relying on those of the Moon and the Silver Millennium…what is the Queen thinking?"

"She's thinking about us… using her head. Just make sure YOU behave while we are there!"

"Why are you pointing at ME?"

"Because you are always in trouble!"

"Only because you go and open your big mouth!"

"That's enough! We're here."

A large door opened illuminating the dark hallway. The room inside was covered in a deep red and had a strong scent of lilac. Three men walked in and bowed before a woman who sat in a high chair.

"Your Highness." She turned to look at those before her; a completely different aura from the one Queen Serenity gave.

"You know what to do. Please don't let us down." She sighed. "I know what people are saying, but we stand no chance. We cannot survive on our own; we need Queen Serenity's and the people of the Moon's help. These attacks are not random… something has awakened."

"Yes your majesty, we will go." The three men bowed and then got up to leave. "You are… this planets last hope."
