Ok, so i took liberties with Usagi's personality, and the time frame is messed up. And whoodles! I love Rei, so she gets a lot of center stage in this. hehe

Usagi walked down the street, looking at her feet as they moved robotically, one in front of the other, barely paying attention to where she was going, or what Rei and Amy were talking about. The sun had set an hour ago, and the sky was spangled with stars that seemed a little brighter than usual, or rather, would have if Usagi had been in a better mood. For nearly a week Mamouru had seemingly ignored her, and she was begining to worry. He hadnt been at work, returned her calls, or even made noises that she could hear outside of his appartment door.
The three girls turned a corner, and entered the park. It was quicker this way and things were pretty safe this end of it. She didnt even aknowledge Rei and Amy saying goodbye and turning left. At the same moment Usagi decided to actually look up to see where she was going she collided head-on with a tall boy with tan skin, orange hair and cerulean blue eyes, making him seem rather odd and stunning. He was multiple inches taller than she was and she was almost forced to crane her neck upwards to analyze him. Actually, to be precise, she had smacked her nose into his chest, and was now gingerly rubbing it, muttering to herself.
The boy himself looked down at her with raised eyebrows, looking slightly confused. Someone else caught up behind him, a girl with pretty waist lenght dark blue hair with neon green highlights and bright green eyes.
"Lee, you fool! Dont just stand there -gawking-! That's her!!" The girl hissed at him, shoving him a bit in Usagi's direction. Usagi backed away slowly, a little bit more than surprised and ready to transform, if necessary.
"Katana, are you sure? Uh...you, um...we need to...relocate you..." Lee said to Usagi, walking towards her swiftly, pulling something that looked like a gun out of his pocket. Seeing that transforming seemed rather useless in this light she was about to run, but never had the chance before Lee pressed the gun to her neck and fired.
Usagi screamed as she woke up, shooting upright on the sofa she was on. Almost immediately a hand came down over her mouth, silencing her cry.
"Shut up! I hate that drug. People never wake up quitely..." The last few comments were more directed to Katana's own self. Usagi went stiff and obeyed the command to be quite. "Ok, listen up blondie, we have Endymion and you're gonna help us."
"What?"
"You heard me. I am Cha Katana, and this," she said, motioning to her brother, "is Cha Lee. Endymion is alright for now, and you, Selenity are going to find a way to help our cause."
"And what, is your cause, if I may ask?" Usagi asked irritably. Who the hell was Endymion, and Selenity?
"To get rid of Tir'Na Ky"
"Who?"
Katana looked at her angrily and made a motion with her hands to Lee, who presently led out Mamoru, who was presently, not exactly Mamoru.
"Mamoru!!" Usagi cried as she hoped off the sofa and ran over to him. She had the intention of embracing him and gushing for a little while but he made no move toward her and instead regarted her as if she was completely insane. "Are you ok? Who are they? Do you KNOW them? And wha-"
He abruptly cut her off, holding up his hand and looking over her analytically. She hadnt noticed before but she was in a blood red gown, that wrapped around her chest and exposed her stomach, before billowing out to long, flowing folds of fabric. The sleeves were sheer and the same color and her tails of hair were bound in satin ribons. On her hands she had white gloves that reached her wrist, with loose white fabric flowing out of the cuffs, adding an illusionary layer to her red sleeves.
"Why are you calling me 'Mamoru'?"
"Because...thats your ...name..." she said uncertainly, beggining to doubt the reality of the situation and hoping she was merely dreaming.
"No. Its not, Selenity. You should know full well who I am."
"What? Why do you keep on calling me 'Selenity'? Whats going on?"
Endymion took her hand and led her to another room, in which she found Rei.
"Rei!" Rei smiled at her and moved out of the way to reveal a window, looking down upon Earth. Usagi stared at it uncomprehendingly, catching images and flashes from different parts of the moon palace, but nothing of the past. "I'm Usagi...not...Selenity," she said, shaking her head. Why were these people calling her strange names, and why did Rei look at her like that? The room she was in was made completely of white marble, draped with white cloth and quite elablorate, in a monocolored way. Usagi gazed from face to face, at her beloved Mamoru who was acting so strangely. It occured to her to ask how Rei had gotten there, vaguely remembering going seperate ways before being abducted. She gingerly rubbed the spot on her neck where she had been pumped full of drugs by the dart gun and winced. Katana and Lee had followed them in, and now they wore troubled expressions on their comely faces.
"Queen Selenity," Katana said, taking her arm and forcing her to look directly at her. "You must help us. He has ravaged our world. Please..." That wasnt quite the truth, but at right then Katana just didnt care very much. She wanted that planet and she was going to do whatever it took.
In that moment, as she was addressed as the Queen Selenity, it all came back to her in a flood...the death, the pain, the ruin...and the love. The force of the memory almost knocked her backwards, and she teetered for a moment, raising her hand to her temple and squeezing her eyes shut.
"Alright. I give up: what happened...in your world?" She barely managed to whisper, but it had been audible enough. Lee, who had been silent the whole time saw this as his que.
"Well, ok, I wont lie to you. We actually tired taking over this planet...for selfish reasons I suppose. We are nomads, always have been. This place, it was so beautiful, and so rich. There was a war. We fought the best soldiers of the nation...and lost." At this point Katana seemed infuriated, Selenity surprised, Endymion disheartened and Rei was the only one that was attentively listening without some sort of prejudice. "The best of them, a man named Tir'Na Ky, was announced ruler of the planet after our defeat, in response to his 'heroic' efforts. However. We weren't quite as defeated as they thought we were. Tir'Na Ky isn't the governing type...he's warlike, self-involved and slighly manical." At that Lee smiled a bit but more out of bitterness than out of amusment.
"In other words you want us to help you take over this planet?" Rei asked, looking Lee up and down. He floundered a bit before answering.
"Yes. I suppose you could say that."
"And why would we want to do that?"
"Beeecause...hmmm...well, we love the land. Tir does not."
"We'll help you. You seem trust worthy enough." Rei replied bluntly, causing Endymion's eyes to widen and Selenity's head to snap around at her in alarm. "Let us confer howev-"
The last of her words were caught in her throat and she went down on her knees, coughing and gasping for breath, upholding herself by her arms, on hand resting on her heaving chest. Behind her a tall man appeared, seemingly matierializing out of thin air. His firey red waves spilled over his shoulders as he scooped Rei up in his arms, the girl still not having a hold of herself and clinging to him in desperation, her coughs becoming more and more violent. Selenity grabbed the hilt of Endymion's sword, pulling it with a singing sound out of its scabbard and strutted towards the enemy with the weapon extended to a point at his throat.
"Who are you, and put her -down-." She said in a commanding manner, Katana and Lee regarding the man with ferocity, but making no moves, except to keep Endymion from joining Selenity, grasping the struggling prince by the arms. The man bowed slightly, gently, with Rei in his arms and smirked.
"I am Tir'Na Ky, and no, I have no intention of putting her down." and with that he turned on his heel, practically wrapping Rei around his body, so that any vital point could not be wounded without puncturing through and injuring the Princess of Mars, fully aware of the fact that Selenity would never risk that. He walked through the door, and upon overstepping the threshold, fading, Rei going limp in his arms.
