Broken

Prologue

Sailor Pluto looked through the Time Gate at the ruins of the once beautiful and powerful solar system.

She couldn't even use adjectives like "spooky" to describe what was before her. Not even ghosts existed. "Gothic" was out of the question because there weren't any buildings left standing.

It could only, simply, be called "ruins."

She looked at the orb that floated above her left hand. It was small for what it was supposed to do. And surprisingly light for all of its importance.

Of course, it was lucky to even exist at all. If she hadn't taken it moments after her sister and her sister's lover had placed it in her castle, it too would have been destroyed. She cursed herself for not being able to grab the others but she had, ironically, run out of time.

She took one last look and gently pushed it through the Gate. "Go." was all she said before closing the Gate.

Sailor Pluto did not watch as the orb darted for the third planet from the sun.
