Prologue: Sailor Scouts from Another World?
It had been years since the Sailor Scouts were called upon to fight against the Negaverse after the Golden Queen Galaxia was healed by Sailor Moon's pure heart. The girls moved on with their lives, and Serena was finally married to Darien, her lover from her past and future. Their future daughter Rini, now a teenager of fourteen years of age, would often travel back into time just to see her parents when they were younger and to see if they had conceived the little seed that would be the next moon child. She would talk about middle school, her adventures with Diana (the daughter of Artemis and Luna), and her relationship with her betrothed Helios, the priest of Elysian. As much as she loved the man who was Pegasus, Serena finally realized why her father did not like the idea of his daughter dating an older man like Darien, but unlike the overprotective Ken Moon, she had known Helios for a long time and trusted him with all her heart, knowing that he would never hurt her baby.
Even Neo-Queen Serenity and the future Sailor Venus managed to keep a good eye on the two young lovers in the Crystal Palace, which, according to Rini, was rather intimidating.
The older women of the group, the outer Sailor Scouts, finished college and began their careers. Amara and Michelle became professional musicians and toured together throughout the country, but they also had their hobbies to do during their free time. Amara was still a tomboy at heart and would race other bikers whenever she had the chance, and Michelle bought an art studio in downtown Tokyo to introduce little children to the world of art. Their relationship, however, slowly came to an end when Michelle was introduced to a charming male French artist she met while attending graduate school in Paris. Amara was not fine with the breakup at first, but after she encountered Seiya, one of the Sailor Starlights, outside of her door with chocolates and flowers in his hands and a heartfelt apology for her on his lips, all intimate memories with Michelle vanished. Amara accepted Seiya's apology and gradually welcomed him into her life.
Trista became a world famous fashion designer and left Tokyo for America, although she knew she would see the Sailor Scouts again in the future. She was granted the chance to fulfill her dream before she would be stationed at the Gates of Time for the rest of her life. Serena and her friends supported the lone Sailor Scout by going on weekly shopping spree at any store that carried Meioh Clothes. As for little Hotaru… Well, she was not little anymore. In fact, after the battle of Chaos and Galaxia, she matured back to the age when she first became Sailor Saturn at such a rapid pace. Thus, she became a student at Juuban High School and moved back to her father's mansion to reestablish a relationship that was broken thanks to Pharaoh 90.
The five inner Sailor Scouts graduated from high school with respectable scores and started a new life at Juuban University. Amy was involved with the intensive medical department as a pre-med major while balancing her love life with Seiya's older brother Taiki, Lita was focusing on Family and Consumer Science courses and worked part time at the Crown Arcade and Restaurant with her boss and boyfriend Andrew, and with the help of Seiya's other older brother Yaten (and boyfriend too), Mina was accepted into the School of Theatre, Dance, and Music. Serena, on the other hand, became serious with her studies in high school for she knew that as future queen of Crystal Tokyo, she would be dealing with politics and the law. So she enrolled into the School of Law and was able to pick up a minor in art because she could not part with her hobby.
But as for Raye, the lonely raven-haired priestess, she became involved with world religions and continued to operate the Cherry Hill Temple after her grandfather's death. She became wise and knowledgeable about spirituality. Every night, she sat in front of her fire in the mediation room to sense any danger lurking around. Despite the fact the Negaverse as she knew was gone for good, she kept having a weird sensation telling her that it was not quite over yet.
One night when the full moon was high in the sky, Raye did her daily fire reading, chanting a phrase to help her see what evil force was out there. "Sun, moon, earth, star," she whispered repeatedly. Before she was able to finish, the fire roared to the ceiling and showed a golden image of an evil sea witch destroying an underwater kingdom, much like the rage of Queen Beryl against the Moon Kingdom during the Silver Millennium. Then, seven images – five young women, a teenage girl, and a man whose face was hidden behind a mask – appeared before the giant blazing flame died down into ashes and soot.
Raye looked at the hearth dumfounded and confused. The flame was simply put out, she thought as she lowered her hands over the cold coals. There was no heat, which meant something strange would happen soon. She picked up a coal and felt something wet covering it.
"Water?" she asked herself. "But how?"
The fire quickly returned, causing Raye to stumble backward and land on her bottom. In front of her, another image appeared but with more details. Standing in the fire was a new Sailor Scout but not a Sailor Scout from Japan.
Raye's violet eyes widened as she looked closely at the girl. Her hair was styled in the same manner as Sailor Moon's but obviously not long enough for the ends curled at her waist, her bangs swooped to the side of her head, her fuku was similar to those on the Super Sailor Scout level and was designed with matching patterns like both Sailor Moon and Sailor Mini Moon's fuku, but instead of moons, she wore shells for her jewelry and charms and also for her brooch.
There was only one girl that quickly came into Raye's mind, a girl she thought to have been imaginary just like other cartoons and fairy tales.
"Princess Ariel?"
The following morning, the five Sailor Scouts and Darien held their first meeting in a long time at the temple. Raye explained to them the images she saw in the fire, including the one of Ariel as a Sailor Scout. The girls were astonished to hear of a Disney princess becoming one of them.
"But how can that be? We're from two different worlds!" asked Mina.
"And besides, Disney princesses cannot become Sailor Scouts. We are the chosen ones," said Lita.
"I know that," sighed Raye, "but I am afraid there may be other Sailor Scouts from other worlds besides the one we know."
"So is it possible for us to fight with them?" asked Amy.
Luna, the black cat, climbed on top of the table and replied, "I'm afraid we can't, Amy. These Sailor Scouts must be awakened in their own time. They are not from the present; they are from the past based on the fairy tales they lived in. I am afraid your powers would not be useful at all."
"Not to mention, if you girls decide to go back into the past to help these girls, you will be entering into the magical world of Disney, which is very different from our world," added Artemis, the white cat. "You have to stay in Japan in case the Negaverse does return, and if for some odd reason you don't leave the past, things here in the present and in the future might be altered."
"So, how can we awaken the princess' powers?" asked Darien. "Surely there must be a way."
"Don't worry about it, Darien," said Luna. A golden aura shone around her body, and in a beam of golden light, the black cat transformed into her human self. Standing on her golden heels, she continued her speech. "I'll summon Trista to send me through the Gates of Time with the key Rini used to travel from Crystal Tokyo. From there on, I will help Ariel and the other chosen princesses to fight against the Negaverse of their time, just like when I helped Sailor Moon years ago."
"Luna, take me with you!" begged Serena. "I want to help them!"
Luna shook her dark head. "It's too dangerous, Serena. You'll be needed here. There's no telling what will happen to you if you went with us. If you do get killed, you might not be reborn again before Crystal Tokyo."
"Then give my powers to Ariel, or at least some to help her fight whatever's out there."
"Do you mean to tell us that without all of your strength and power from the Silver Crystal, you don't care if you get killed just because you gave it to another Sailor Scout?" asked Artemis.
"If it means to help a generation from long ago, yes. I want them to experience the life of a Sailor Scout," replied Serena. "I've done my job after rescuing Galaxia from Chaos. It's time for me to step down for a while since I won't be able to fight right away once I become Neo-Queen Serenity. If I am killed and am not able to be reborn in time, I don't care. It's my decision, not anyone else's. By the way, Luna, I think Ariel deserves to be the leader. Do you think you can arrange that? I mean after all, she is my favorite Disney princess."
There was a huge groan that filled the room as her friends and Darien hung their heads. "Will she ever become serious?" asked the Earth Prince.
"Probably not," answered Raye.
"And to think she'll be our future queen," added Amy.
Mina and Lita glared at the blue-headed braniac. "Don't remind us."
Up next: With the help of Sailor Pluto, Luna goes back into time during Ariel's engagement to Prince Eric (okay, so they did not really get married right away). How will their first encounter go, and will Ariel accept her new role? And just who is this Sea Witch in Raye's vision? Is it Ursula back from the dead and will she really destory Atlantica?
You'll find out… Once you review this story!
