Chapter 1

'It has been so long since my lunar royal court and that of my sister's, Crown Princess Serenity of the Moon, have been together. I still remember when my mother Queen Serenity sent my court and I to Earth to aid King Parry and Queen Gaia during Queen Beryl's attack. Only it was too late, Beryl had captured Earth's capital and taken Crown Prince Endymion's Royal Guard captive. Mother oversaw the battle on the Moon, my brother Prince Apollo of the Sun and Moon, my fiancé Prince Enterrion of the Earth and I returned to the Moon safely but even there it was too late. The final battle was engulfing the palace. It was too late once I found Mother, Serenity and Endymion had already died at Beryl's hands. I remember striking out at Beryl and feeling an immense pain. I saw Enterrion and Apollo fall first and then I was looking up at my Mother. I saw in her eyes the anger, sorrow and rage that would be needed to use do what she did to send her children and their courts into the future. Somehow, the memories of Paul (my brother), Terry (my love of 2 lifetimes) and I were not erased as we discovered the others had been. The three of us agree that our guess is that in dying so closely to mother that somehow our memories were preserved. I truly miss them all, we shared so much with them as our friends, and I miss my cousin Minuet so much she was my close confidant. I miss the security and peace surrounded my life back then. All I can now do is pray that I can support and aid Serenity in this final fight as I sense Beryl's return once again. Paul, Terry, and I were unable to help the first time that Beryl returned but now we are ready. Paul's been training with the Sun Gem, Terry's got the Earth Stone, and I have the Moon Gem this aids our training too. All I can do is ask the Goddess Selene and my mother to guide the three of us to the right path for the survival of our future that was stolen from us before.' Christine looked up and closed her journal. She looked out of her window over the Tokyo skyline and the full moon up above. She whispered to the silence of her room, "Goddess, I pray that my path is right and will aid those that I care so much for." She turned and reached for the light and allowed darkness to close into her room for the night.

The next day during the afternoon, Serena Tsukito was in the park with her friends. Raye, Mina, Amy and Lita were helping Serena with her homework. Suddenly, a dark haired young man in his mid 20's came running up to the group. "Serena!" he called with a voice of concerned. The girls looked and recognized Serena's boyfriend Darien Chiba. Seeing his serious look and concerned face, Serena could sense that something was extremely wrong.

"Darien, love, what it is?" Serena said worried as she rose from her seat with the girls.

Darien pulled Serena into his arms when he was close enough to the girls. Serena felt him ease feeling the concern and relief flow through his body and mind. Darien turned to the rest of the group and spoke, "There is a monster attacking the playground here in the park. I heard about it and didn't know where you all were. From the reports, it seems to be drawing energy from the kids there and their parents."

"Then we all know what it is that we have to do." Serena said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a brooch. The girls lined up on either side of her and began to call out.

"Moon Crystal Magic"

"Mars Power"

"Mercury Power"

"Venus Power"

"Jupiter Power"

Darien pulled out a red rose from his pocket and transformed into Tuxedo Mask.

On the other side of the park, Terry, Paul and Christine heard of the monster. Waiting until the coast was clear, Christine and Paul got ready to transform. They called out,

"Lunar Eclipse Magic"

"Solar Eclipse Power"

Terry pulled out a white rose and changed into Moonlight Knight.

Within moments, Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, and the other scouts were in a fierce battle. All the attacks that the scouts used seemed to be absorbed by the monster. The monster's attack had the scouts reeling. Christine, Sailor Lunar Eclipse, watched waiting for her chance to aid the scouts. Sailor Moon became distracted by a young girl who was hiding. Seeing the monster readying for an attack, Sailor Lunar Eclipse called out her attack, "Lunar Eclipse Tiara Magic". The monster stumbled back and prepared for another attack. With Christine's tiara not back, she knew that Sailor Moon was in danger and she was honor bound to protect her. Christine called out warning Sailor Moon, "Sailor Moon, Look out behind you."

Sailor Moon looked towards the voice and saw a new scout running towards her. She was similar to Serena but her blue edging faded into black as did the moon on her tiara. Tuxedo Mask saw the monster beginning his attack and dread seeped through him knowing that due to injuries he could not reach his princess in time. Christine was inches from her and the young girl. Sailor Moon shielded the girl and felt herself pushed to the side by this new scout. Paul, Sailor Solar Eclipse, and Terry, Moonlight Knight, watched in fear seeing Christine take the full shot of the monster's attack. They all heard Sailor Lunar Eclipse cry out and fall to the ground in pain.

Paul and Terry struck the monster and fought to get to Sailor Lunar Eclipse's side. They both called out "Sailor Lunar Eclipse." Sailor Moon saw her in pain and gave the young girl to Sailor Mars who saw the anger in Serena's eyes.

Sailor Moon turned to the monster and spoke, "You, Mega creep, will no longer hurt any one here on Earth especially a member of the Sailor Scouts." She raised her brooch and pulled out the Imperium Silver Crystal and called out, "Moon Healing Activation!" The monster faded and the children ran to their parents who all fled from the area.

The scouts turned to face Sailor Lunar Eclipse who was laying in Moonlight Knight's arms with Sailor Solar Eclipse at their side. Tuxedo Mask pulled Sailor Moon to him knowing exactly how Moonlight Knight felt. Sailor Lunar Eclipse began to speak, her voice weakened with pain, "Serenity, Sailor Moon, is she safe? Did I help them?"

Terry spoke to her, "Shh, rest my princess. Sailor Moon is safe as is the girl you pushed out of the way. You saved them, my love, my precious Selene."

Sailor Solar Eclipse turned to Sailor Mercury and Sailor Moon and spoke, "Sailor Moon, Lady Mercury, I realize that you have no reason to trust the three of us. But please even without the help of Lady Saturn can you help my sister?"

Sailor Moon reached out and grabbed Sailor Solar Eclipse's hand, "Of course we will, she fought with us and for us. You all are a part of this battle we face with evil. Who are you three though?"

Solar answered, "I'm Sailor Solar Eclipse, my sister is Sailor Lunar Eclipse, and this is Moonlight Knight as well as Sailor Terran. As you have guessed, we were all royalty on our planets in our past lives. Moonlight Knight is my sister's protector as I guess Tuxedo Mask is to you, Sailor Moon."

Sailor Moon spoke again, "I still have so many questions but there is more time for that later. Mercury, will the crystal help Sailor Lunar Eclipse?"

Sailor Mercury, Amy, replied, "Yes, Sailor Moon. I scanned her and the crystal's power will aid her powers to help heal her."

Sailor Moon turned and spoke, "Sailor Solar Eclipse, Moonlight Knight, I know how much you care for Sailor Lunar Eclipse. But for safety I need you to move back from her while I do this." As they complied, Serena switched from her Sailor Moon image into her role as Princess Serenity. Darien switched into his role as Prince Endymion with her for support. Serenity looked into the Imperium Silver Crystal and called out, "Moon Healing Activation".

Once finished Sailor Moon returned to her uniform, Sailor Mars spoke up, "Princess, for our safety we need to leave here. We can go to the temple and continue to talk there. Being out in the open like this will bring too many questions and observers as well as extra danger."

Sailor Venus spoke up as well, "I agree, Princess. You know that your safety is our first concern. It was what Sailor Lunar Eclipse was wounded for."

Moonlight Knight spoke, "Princess Serenity, if this is agreed upon by both Lady Mars and Venus we should listen. Selene would want you safe before anything. We can follow you to this temple. Where is it?"

Sailor Moon replied, " If you're willing we can transport there via the Sailor teleport." Paul and Terry nodded in agreement. Terry held a sleeping Sailor Lunar Eclipse in his arms as Darien and Paul placed their hands on his shoulder completing the circle for the teleport.
