A/N: Definition of FanFic: FICTION (a non realistic story) made by a FAN (an ardent follower and admirer) of another person's work, using that person's ideas to make an original story. As such, the only thing the FAN owns is their respective original story and original characters; NOT the object(s) of their FANdom.
Please be safe. Please be safe. Please be safe! The warrior thought to herself as she raced towards her destination, her image a blaze of orange light that streaked through the star ocean. "..." Her face grew grim as she recalled her last time there...
"Please, Your Highness, I beg you to reconsider! This will only lead to calamity! That man cannot be trusted!"
The Queen looked down at her warrior with mixed emotions. "I know you have concerns; we are all nervous about my daughter's marriage; however this is the best way to ensure peace between The Silver Alliance and the Earth. Furthermore, although the earthlings are powerful warriors, they have naught the strength nor skills to actively stand against us. Our alliance is to ensure that the Dark Kingdom may be held at bay."
"But, Your Majesty!"
"ENOUGH!"
The Queen's glare softened as she looked at her warrior's tear-filled eyes, the young girl's face showing naught but genuine concern about her princess and the kingdom she was sworn to protect. Softly, ever so softly, the Queen reached out and embraced the young girl, allowing the girl to cry softly into her chest.
"My dear child, I know of your affections for Serenity..." At this, the young girl gasped and looked fearfully at the Queen, who simply smiled before continuing, "However, it is both my and my daughter's duty to do what is best for The Alliance. I know of the risks, and we are willing to go through with it. Our warriors are strong and wise; we shall not be tricked so easily..."
The warrior slowly moved away from her Queen, "...And the Princess? Has she agreed to this as well?"
The Queen was silent for but a moment. "Serenity has decided to fulfill her duties as a princess should. Now, enough of that. I want you to go to the Time Gate and ask what Pluto sees in the future. Although she will never give a straight answer, that woman; but at least you should be able to get a feel of what is to come..."
The warrior cursed herself inwardly. She had known it was just The Queen's way of getting her away for a while, but the young girl had wanted to believe. To believe for just a moment, that her premonitions were wrong, and that everything would be all right; even if her princess was going to marry that terrible, haughty, self-centered Earth prince.
Nonetheless, she was just passing over Saturn when she had felt the power of the moon, power enough to temporarily blow her off course, even from that distance.
Immediately turning back around, she began racing full speed back to the moon; back to where her princess was.
I'm almost there, just a little longer and...!
"What..."
As she finally arrived at the moon, she could only make out that one word as her eyes took in the devastation that was once the most beautiful place in the galaxy. The entire royal capital was in ruins, the palace the only building that wasn't completely blown away.
And yet there was not the slightest hint of life. Nor was there any bodies, despite the obvious battle that had taken place. Slightly unnerved, the warrior made her way into the palace, heading immediately to the throne room. And there, leaning against a broken pillar, was the body of someone she knew better than most.
"Queen Serenity..."
Running over, she pulled the late queen into her arms. This is exactly what I tried to prevent.
The warrior couldn't prevent the tears from falling down her cheeks as she held close the woman who acted as a mother to her all her life. "I swear, they will pay for this."
"There will be a time for that, but for now, we have other things that we must do."
The warrior didn't have to turn around to know who it was. There were very few people who were capable of the Sailor Teleport without aid. "Pluto...Did you know this was going to happen?"
Pluto shook her head, "Even if I did, there was nothing that I could do to stop it. We do not have time for remorse, we have duties to attend to. Allow me to take The Queen. I shall lay her to rest properly."
The warrior hesitated for a moment, then relented. She knew how close The Queen and Pluto were to each other. "Thank you. I am going to go find The Princess."
"The Princess is no longer in this world." The warrior whirled around, turning to face Pluto, "You found her! Who is responsible!"
Pluto waited for the young girl to calm down before she replied, "I arrived here shortly before you did, and consulted the Time Gate as to what happened. The Dark Kingdom, led by Beryl, was the main party responsible for the attack, and managed to kill everyone including the Guardian Senshi and the Princess. However, before she could be killed, Queen Serenity used the power of the Ginzuishou to seal away the Dark Kingdom and send all of the Moon Kingdom into the future where they will be reincarnated. However, doing this used up all of her life force."
The young warrior took all of this in before speaking, "Then... in the future, The Princess will return, along with the rest of the Moon Kingdom. However, there is a chance that our enemies will return, as well. Is that right?"
Pluto nodded, "Yes. As you know, by the queen's orders, I am to return to the Time Gate. Will you return with me and wait as well?"
"No. I still have to fulfill my duty. Now that The Alliance is no more, the solar system must restart from the beginning. There can be no traces of the silver millennium to influence it's future anymore. After that, I will find the Outer Senshi, and we will follow our princess."
"I see. Then I'll make sure to seek you out in the future. May the moon grant you serenity."
As she exited the palace, the young warrior noticed something shining in the distance. Approaching it, it revealed itself to be a beautiful sword.
The Holy Moon Blade! No wonder I didn't see it in the palace. Unfortunately, even I don't have the power to destroy that... And we can't take it to the Time Gate, it interferes with magic and whatnot. I'll just put it into a subspace pocket until I can return it to the princess.
The warrior reached out and grabbed the hilt, "Alright, here we-!"
Spinning around, the young girl swung the sword horizontally, cutting through two powerful jets of energy that would have otherwise hit her square in the back.
"Ah. Uranus, Neptune. Didn't expect for them to find me..."
Landing on the ground, the two Outer Senshi looked at the younger warrior with moderate surprise, "What are you doing here? I thought Queen Serenity sent you to the Time Gate on a mission?"
The young warrior thought for a moment. This could actually work out a lot easier than I thought. I might not have to actually fight them... She proceeded to tell them what Pluto told her.
Uranus and Neptune looked at each other for a moment,
then nodded and began to circle around the young warrior, who sighed. I should have known... Well, they were charged with protecting the Solar System, and I am about to destroy almost all of it... Hopefully, they will have forgiven me in the future.
"I don't have time for this. If you really want to fight me, then follow me to Earth. If you can keep up, that is."
And with that, the young warrior teleported away. "We can't let her get away," Uranus said, "We have to follow her!"
With a nod from Neptune, the two of them teleported, appearing in the middle of a vast field on the Earth. And it was only after they arrived that they realized their fatal mistake: the young warrior had not teleported to the Earth at all.
Instead, she had teleported to the one place that would amplify her power enough to allow her to reset everything in the Solar System with a single action: Saturn, the home planet of the young warrior.
As the Holy Moon Blade disappeared from her hand, it was replaced by the glaive that was the symbol of her duty, a weapon that represented the end of everything, a weapon that only one other person in the universe could wield.
The Silence Glaive.
And as she leapt high into the air, drawing on every ounce of power that the planet she was named after gave to her, the softest of whispers came from her mouth, so soft that not even she could hear it, but it resounded in her heart all the same. Next time, I will never leave your side, my princess... my love.
"Death...Reborn...Revolution!"
The glaive came down.
And the galaxy was silenced.
A/N: Aaannd, we're done. To be honest, I wrote this up after I started on another fic and realized I needed a prologue of sorts. Although, personally I think it makes an interesting one-shot as well. Let me know what you think! And of course, questions and comments are always welcome. Until next chapter~
