Prologue
Moon Kingdom, 2045
Princess Serena walked casually down the hallways of the Moon Palace, uncertainty growing in her heart. Accompanying her were her fellow Sailor Scouts, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, and Sailor Jupiter. Accompanying them were Serena and Mina's fellow cats, Luna and Artemis.
It had been many a generation since the defeat of Chaos, and since then, all had been peaceful. In fact, the defeat of Chaos had allowed the Moon Kingdom to regenerate itself slowly, but gradually. Even more, the silver crystal's power had activated once more, awakening Queen Serenity. Since then, all had been well.
But that peace did not last long. Serenity had received a plea for help from someone who had claimed to be an old friend of hers. His name was Entei Heartgold, supposedly the king of the starship kingdom of Sigma, the city of scholars. How Serenity knew this man was still a mystery for Serena and the Sailor Scouts.
Serena wanted to know more about this mysterious being and this legendary beast he held that was the cosmic legend: Stardust Dragon. Upon Serena's request, Serenity agreed to share her knowledge with her and the Scouts on the condition that the truth be revealed in Serena's least favorite place: the library. Serena had reluctantly agreed to this.
Now, the Sailor Scouts walked to the massive door and knocked as one.
"Enter," said a voice. And the Scouts did just that. Serenity was waiting for them.
"So you have come," said Serenity in a soft voice.
"We came as we promised, mother," said Serena, "If we're going to help this so-called friend of yours, we need to know all we need to know about him."
"It's the only way we can help," added Ami.
"Indeed, you must," said Serenity, nodding in acknowledgement, "but his story is very deep, so that you might learn the true meaning of darkness, so be warned."
"The true meaning of Darkness?" asked Raye, "I thought that was just being impure of heart."
"You're wrong," said Serenity, "Entei had discovered the true meaning of darkness during his quest to defeat the Oppositio Senshi and save the Cosmos."
The Scouts all gasped. The reason was no secret. The Oppositio Senshi were dark versions of themselves, hailing from Babylon, led by Queen Apsu. The last time they crossed paths, they had tried to kill Serena and take the Silver Crystal from her. Keeping the powerful jewel out of their hands had nearly cost the Scouts their lives, and resulted in the disappearance of Darien, Serena's boyfriend. Most likely, he was being held captive by the Oppositios, or even worse… dead. Serena had made a silent vow to find Darien, even if it meant surrendering to the darkness. Now, Serena was thinking about doing so, but Serenity read her mind.
"Have no fear, Serena," said Serenity, "Darien is safe. Unfortunately, I am uncertain where."
Serena breathed out in relief.
"With that being said," continued Serenity as she reached for a silver and turquoise book, "You must find Entei, and he will surely help you find your loved one."
"Books," groaned Mina, "why does it always have to be books? Why not a comic or a movie?"
"What is it with you and Serena's hatred for books?" wondered Luna.
"Too many words," complained Serena, "it makes my head hurt. Plus, they don't have pictures."
"That's why you use your imagination," said Ami, "I say there's nothing like a good book."
"Indeed, Ami," said Serenity as she placed the book on the table and left, leaving the Scouts alone.
"So now what?" asked Lita.
"We need to find out as much as we can about this Entei person," said Raye, "but from what I hear, he's supposed to be really cute."
At this, everyone sweatdropped. Raye had had an obsession with boys for as long as they could remember, so it was no surprise.
Ami stepped forward and picked up the book, placing it on a pedestal. The Scouts quickly gathered around and looked at the book's cover, blown away by the dragon on the cover. This dragon was silvery white in color with razor sharp teeth and tattered looking battle ready wings. Despite that, it had a ferocious majesty to it. Yes, kids, this was the almighty Stardust Dragon!
"Whoa!" said Serena, "Is that the Stardust Dragon!"
"It looks… scary…" said Artemis with a shudder, "I wouldn't want to battle that thing!"
"It looks just as powerful," said Ami in awe, "So… majestic."
"I never knew such a beast existed," breathed Raye.
"Just so long as it doesn't kill us," said Lita.
"Maybe it's actually friendly," said Serena. The Scouts looked at her as if she had lost her mind.
"Well, some of our enemies were 'friendly'," muttered Serena.
The Scouts' attention turned back to the book as Ami opened the book. Written in golden ink were the words: The Rebirth of Stardust Dragon.
The Scouts turned to the first page of Entei's story and began reading…
