Prelude
"Rin, Pyou, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen! " The contained fire would flicker and wave from side to side before shooting upward. "Akuryo Taisan!" A piece of parchment paper with special characters hand written on it, the ofuda, was thrown into the center of the flame. The giant flame dispersed for a moment before reforming into a much smaller version of the elaborate display that once was. Eyes of a deep purple stared intently to the fire as if it was speaking to her in words one could not physically hear. There was a message. The girl stood from her kneeled position raising the bottom of her kimono from the ground. Long black hair comparable to the color of raven's feathers flowed down her back side gently hitting against her back as she moved to walk out of the room. Those violet eyes stared up into the night sky with great concern. Something was approaching…
Chapter 1: Introduction
BRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNGGG~
The sound of the detention bell had rung sweet music to a certain blonde haired girl's ears. Her captivity was over as she happily bounced out of her seat, long blonde pig-tails waving behind from odango shaped buns from the top of her head. The school girl uniform bounced with her jubilant form as she rushed out of the classroom and out into the front of the school. Ah, it was so nice to be outside again where she could breathe in the fresh air and let her mind wander freely. Not that she hadn't already done that, but now she could enjoy some fresh air while doing it! Oh it was a happy moment for her…if only she was watching where she was going. The black shoe hit an uneven formation in the pavement on the sidewalk causing her body to shortly fall to the ground below, face first. Would she ever learn? Perhaps not. She let out a yell, perhaps more of a wail, as a small bump quickly formed onto of her forehead.
"This always happens to me!" Sad, Usagi was so SAD. It didn't appear as if anyone took notice. She simply sniffled a bit before hopping up to a stand. Klutz, or not, she was going to make the best of the rest of her day. As quick as she was to cry, a smile quickly reappeared with a bounce back in her step. To where?
Crown Game Center was a good place to start. Already there were three girls seated around a Sailor V game chatting about various things to pass some time. However, enough time has passed to raise concern and even annoyance from a certain raven haired girl with purple eyes.
"Fifteen minutes later than what she usually averages." Those words passed with a grumble attached. "Where is she? She should have been here by now!" The Fire Priestess, Rei, short-tempered with her fiery personality matching her name-sake. There was a clear expression of annoyance, clearly not caring to hide her feelings from the other two girls.
"When do you know Usagi-chan to ever be on time?" A tall brown haired girl with green eyes, Makoto, gave an almost teasing jest to the complaint.
The third, a blue haired, blue eyed girl by the name of Ami sat quietly not contributing to the fire that's already been started.
"This is ridiculous, even for her."
As if on cue the doors of Crown opened to reveal a normally jubilant blonde with an unmistakable hair style. 'Odangos' on each side of the top of her head and eyes of cerulean staring to the floor in a solum expression.
"…Such a pretty girl shouldn't be held back for such a thing!" She began to mutter to herself. …My Mamo-chan is much more interesting than that boring English class!" She let out a dramatic sigh as she began walking into the place.
"Usagi-chan…" Rei began with her arms crossed.
The blonde looked up taking notice to the eyes that have fallen upon her. "Oh? Rei-chan!" Her voice was practically elated proceeding to miss the annoyed demeanor of her friend. "Ami-chan! Makoto-chan!" She picked up her pace skipping over to where the other three sat. "I'm sorry! I was held back again-"
"-For being late?"
"Excuse me!"
"But we all know it's true. Even Ami-chan agrees, ne?" Rei continued to rag on Usagi.
"Well I..." The blue haired girl sheepishly attempted to shy away from the topic at hand.
"Rei-chan is always so mean to me!" Usagi began to wail throwing her arms around the nearest person who happened to be Makoto.
"Usagi-chan..." The tall brunette began trying to calm her friend down.
"Ne, where is Minako-chan?" Ami finally spoke up taking notice that the other blonde wasn't anywhere to be found just yet.
"Oh? Minako-chan?" Usagi quickly let go of Makoto changing her expression to a slightly puzzled one, but that wasn't to last for very long. "She should be here soon. She had to stay after also but she was a little later than me…" Usagi began as a matter of fact putting a hand to the back of her head.
"I'm here!" As if on cue a second figure shouted causing everyone's attention to turn to the figure standing in the doorway of Crown. An athletic blonde nearly identical to Usagi in appearance save for her hairstyle which was worn down and had a red bow at the top. Blue eyes looked cheerfully to the others as she stood posed similar to Sailor V.
"Minako-chan..." The other girls simply hung their heads at the less than candid entrance of their friend.
"W-what?" Minako put a hand to the back of her head with a slightly embarrassed look on her face from her friend's reactions.
Meanwhile, in a galaxy far, far away... or just perhaps just a minor galaxy of no particular importance...
Banished again. A cauldron bubbling with unrest resided at the edge of a cliff. No this was not the same cauldron that was at Zero Star Sagittarius , but it was very similar in appearance. Several stars made up a kind of backdrop to the place.
A hooded figure sat at the ledge appearing to observe what was going on below. They lifted a hand as if to point to something in the far off distance. It was then one of the stars began to lightly pulsate and the cauldron began to bubble even more.
In a shadow-like appearance a figure began to emerge from the energy below. As quick as it appeared did it disappear back into the black abyss below. A human-like form would appear behind the cloaked figure as it lowered its stance to bow respectively. It's form, also shrouded by a black cloak.
"You, my child, shall be the first to be sent to Earth to retrieve the purest essence of stars that shine forever. We shall once again claim the Sailor Crystals that were lost to the guardian of the Cosmos." The hooded figure spoke in a voice that was neither male nor female, but as if many voices were speaking at once. "Failure is not an option. We must be quick in fulfilling this goal. Do you understand?"
"Yes, my Lord." The figure once again bowed. Though the cloaked figure never once looked to see what had appeared behind them, they seemed to know exactly what was going on.
…And so where our heros last left off…
"So what is the meaning of this meeting anyway?" Minako finally asked after the heated topic about Usagi's tardiness calmed down.
"Rei-chan had a vision earlier this morning." Ami spoke, glad to be able to contribute to something that won't cause conflict among the group.
"Something unsettling is approaching. I'm not sure what exactly it is, but it's not a good omen."
A raven would fly past the window of the arcade causing the automatic doors to suddenly open without warning. The girls jumped at the sudden interruption. They all looked to Rei who had her eyes narrowed.
"An enemy is close by." Her eyes remained narrowed.
A woman sat on a bench with several papers in her lap as a writing utensil moved about busily against the blank sheets taking down information.
"Ah, damn! This thing is due tomorrow...If I don't get this done I'm surely done for!"
"You're done for anyway." A sudden voice interrupted her from behind.
"What?" The woman turned around to face who had spoken to her.
"Please excuse your former existence to reawaken as your true form." The figure replied coldly as a black vortex began to form under the woman's figure.
She didn't have a chance to react before her form was encompassed in darkness. A scream was heard as the papers and writing utensil flew astray. When the dark void finally cleared the woman's figure hovered from the ground with a silver colored diamond shaped crystal above her head. The papers? Scattered across the street. The gleaming white crystal quickly faded to a dull black one.
The figure's lips pursed not particularly happy with the results.
"So you were not who I thought you were."
"Stop right there!"
"Now what?" The figure turned to the sudden voice from behind.
"Attacking the innocent, I can't forgive you!"
"Who in the hell?"
"I am an agent of love and justice! Sailor, Pretty Soldier Senshi, Sailor Moon!" The figure went to do some movements with her hands to accompany the elaborate speech.
"Sailor Mars!"
"Sailor Jupiter!"
"Sailor Venus!"
"Sailor Mercury!"
The first figure began circling her arms around her form. "In the name of the Moon..."
"We'll punish you!" Her hands simultaneously dropped to point to the figure as the other three pointed a finger to the figure stating the same phrase at the same time.
"Sailor Soldiers? So there you are... Hmpth! You're not nearly as impressive as I thought you were going to be." The figure scoffed.
"Why you!" Jupiter retorted.
"Who are you?" Moon asked.
"Recreated from a new cauldron, I am the fallen Sailor Soldier, Sailor Black Hole!" Black boots, grey pants and a grey jacket gave the appearance of a militaristic uniform. Her hair was long and black with her eyes matching in color. Black gloves adorned her hands as she laid one of them to rest upon her hip. Certainly this was not the usual attire of someone with her status, but she was... a bit different to say the least from others like her. She was a general, given the abilities of a Sailor Soldier - A being with a perfect body, and one that ceased aging at a certain point. Her stopping point was early 20s.
"Sailor Black Hole?" Venus repeated.
"Another Sailor Soldier..." Moon trailed.
Black Hole went to grab the fading life above the girl's head. "It seems I won't be needing this." She then proceeded to crush it in her grasp.
"What are you doing! That is the life of a human being!" Moon shouted to the woman, but her cry was unheard.
"Golem Ametsuchi I command you forward!" The Sailor Team looked in shock as the human began to take the shape of a grotesque perversion of it's former body. "Lets see what you people are really capable of." Black Hold looked to the soldiers malevolently. "Perhaps we shall meet again, if you prove your worth." A black vortex fills the sky above Black Hole as her form begins to warp. The form is then sucked into the void like a dirt particle through a vacuum.
"Wait!"
"Ametsuchi!" The monster threw a barrage of egg corns which proved to be more like bullets with the speed they were heading towards the girls.
"Mars Flame Sniper!" A red arrow made of flames shot fiercely towards the attack burning them to ash.
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!"
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!" Jupiter and Venus' combined attack made a direct hit to Ametsuchi.
"Sailor Moon - Now!"
Moon nodded and powered up. 'I'll turn you back...' "SILVER MOON," She held out her wand as the bottom fell towards the ground becoming a staff. "CRYSTAL POWER KISS!" Ametsuchi tried to shield herself but failed. There was nothing more than dust in the wind of the hideous monster's former self.
A gasp followed by a look of horror and shock came over the Moon Soldier. "No… This can't be… " Her figure shortly fell to her knees. Her hands were shaky as she raised them to the sides of her face.
"Sailor Moon!" The sound of running sounded as the four other girls ran to her side.
Their words were not heard. She drew into herself as she continued to stare to the pile of dust.
"Sailor Moon, are you okay?" The sound of Sailor Mars was the first to speak putting a hand on her friend's shoulder.
"I… couldn't save her..." Came the sudden voice of Usagi as she held her hands over her face. The other girls faced her with clear concern in their eyes.
