Chapter 1

Mercury

I do not own Sailor Moon.

Thank you for reading.

Queen Selenity looked around her. The Outer Senshi were surveying the damage. There was Lady Mercury in the fountain clasping hands with Lord Zoisite. Lady Mars was in front of the fire with Lord Jadeite who had his arms around her protectively. Lady Jupiter was in the flowerbed where Lord Nephrite was holding her. Lady Venus was on top of Lord Kunzite at the entrance of the mines. Princess Serenity lay together with Prince Endymion in the Marble Ballroom. There were 2 similarities about all these lovers. They had died rather than live without each other and even Death could not separate them. "It is time Queen Selenity." Pluto said. The Queen took one last look around. "Do not touch them. I will preserve them but don't move them even a bit. Uranus, Neptune you must trust and protect my daughter in her new life. The Inner Senshi will not remember. Pluto, guide her when she needs it. Saturn I trust you will help her from afar like the others. My daughter will have her memories and be a Senshi. Now please help them live a new life with happiness Silver Crystal." Queen Selenity called and took one last look at her daughter before the crystal glowed and enveloped the Court of Serenity along with Prince Endymion's Court and sent them to the future.

1,000 Years Later

"My daughter can you hear me?" A voice asked as a girl with the same hairstyle wandered the mists. The girl nodded. "I will restore your memories. In this life you will be Sailor Moon, Leader of the Outer Senshi." Queen Selenity explained as the fog cleared and she saw her mother and the Outer Senshi standing in front of a large door. Serenity ran to her mother. "I will give you the Base Piece of the Silver Crystal. With this you do not even need the other Rainbow Crystals. Whenever you choose to activate it they will fly to you." Queen Selenity explained and handed her a small sparkling shard. Serenity took it with wide eyes. "Thank you mother." Serenity said smiling. "Artemis will reawaken Venus and Luna will reawaken the others. You can summon the Outer Senshi to your side with just a word. My advice is you shouldn't let them appear until the final battle with the Dark Kingdom." Queen Selenity said seriously. Serenity nodded. Suddenly she was assaulted with memories.

Usagi woke in cold sweat. It was 5 am. She started getting ready for school. As she walked to school she saw a miko sweeping the steps of a shrine. She smiled at Mars. She ran the rest of the way and saw a youma. Her eyes grew wide. She called the power inside of her and transformed into Sailor Moon. "Hold it minion of Beryl!" She called and the youma dropped the blue-haired girl. "Mercury." She thought dodging the attack. "Moon Tiara Magic!" She yelled and the youma disintegrated.

A blonde general appeared. "Jadeite!" She yelled at him. "So how you know me when I don't know you?" He asked smirking. "Sorry. I'm Sailor Moon. Solider of Justice and Purity. And you Jadeite you how could you do that to Mars. Do you know what she went through?" Sailor Moon yelled at him. "Sorry?" "I don't know how Mars put up with you. She had the least patience and you were the most annoying." She muttered. "It doesn't matter now. I am-"He began when Sailor Moon cut him across. "Yeah, yeah General Jadeite. General of Asia. Currently works for Beryl Queen of the Dark Kingdom who in turn reports to Metallia Queen of the Darkness." She said propping the unconscious girl up. "Wha…How?" he asked. "I was in the Silver Millennium too. By the way I have something for you." She said and concentrating she pulled 2 photos out of her subspace pocket handing them to him. One was of him and the Shitennou with Prince Endymion and the other was him with Mars. He looked at them. "If you want to contact me just appear and cause a disturbance somewhere and I'll come. See you Jadeite." She said and took the girl with her when she left leaving a confused Jadeite.

"Hey. Are you okay?" A concerned voice asked. Ami Mizuno opened her eyes to see Usagi peering at her concerned as the school bell rang in the distance. "What happened?" She asked. "You were attacked by a monster thing. Sailor Moon saved you and told me to take you somewhere safe." She explained. "I'm Tsukino Usagi. What about you?" She asked. "Mizuno Ami." She answered sitting up. "Let's be friends Ami-chan!" She said smiling. "We're late for school." Ami realized. "It's alright. We'll just have to hurry." Usagi said picking up her bag for her. They ran to school. During break a ripple went through the classroom. They parted as Usagi walked over to Ami. Usagi was one of the more popular girls at school and Ami was a…geek. "Hey Ami-chan! Let's have lunch together in the courtyard." She said smiling. Ami smiled back and the 2 girls sat under a tree and began eating. Usagi glanced up and saw Luna. "I'll be right back Ami-chan. Restroom." She explained and when Ami nodded left.

As soon as she was out of sight Luna began talking. "You are Sailor Mercury." She said to the shocked girl. She heard footsteps. "I'll come by your house later Sailor Mercury. Please do not tell anyone what happened." She said before jumping back into the trees.

After school Ami and Usagi parted ways. Usagi crashed into someone. "I'm really sorry." She said. "Well Meatball Head does have manners." A voice said. "Endymion." She thought. "I'm Usagi." "Whatever Meatball Head." Silence. He looked around. She was gone.

There was another attack this time at the park. She ran. Mercury was already there fighting and losing. "Hold it! I am Sailor Moon. Solider of Justice and Purity. And you are moon dust!" She yelled jumping forward. She held her wand tightly. The youma stopped attacking Mercury and attacked her. Suddenly strong arms caught her as she dodged a thorn and fell off the edge of the dock. "Well I don't know what you're calling yourself this time but thanks Endymion." She said when he set her down. "I am Tuxedo Mask." He said looking at her oddly. Jadeite appeared again. "Jadeite!" Mercury said in shock. "What do you want to know Jadeite?" She asked him calmly. "Who is the girl in the picture you gave me?" "Mars. Your Firefly. Anything else?" He shook his head. "I can return your memories General Jadeite but not today. Think about it. If you want them come talk to me. Okay?" He nodded. "My work is done, you failed, tell Zoisite his Nymph has appeared, can we leave now?" She asked tapping her foot as Mercury flushed. Jadeite disappeared. She turned to face the others.

"Who are you?" Mercury asked sharply. "I told you Sailor Moon." She said lounging. "There was never a Senshi of the Moon." Luna said eyes narrowed. "I have contact with Princess Serenity and Queen Selenity. I was made a Senshi of the Moon. No I will not tell you where the Princess is. By the way Mars is at Hikawa Temple as a miko and yes I have all my memories." She said closing her eyes. "Endymion you can stop gaping at me." She said eyes still closed. Mercury and Luna turned to Tuxedo Mask. "Prince?" Mercury asked cautiously. "Luna, Mercury would someone please explain why Jadeite was attacking us?" He asked. They shrugged. "Chiba-san they were kidnapped and infested with negative energy. No Mizuno-san I will not reveal who I am." She answered sitting up. "How do you know all this when we can't even remember the Princess' face?" Luna asked suspiciously. "I was in the Silver Millennium as someone else." She answered. "Who?" Tuxedo Mask asked. "I'm not answering. Anyway Queen Selenity and Princess Serenity have promoted me as temporary leader until Venus returns with Artemis. So Mercury we'll have to start your training." She continued. "Where's the evidence?" Luna asked. She pulled out a paper out of her subspace pocket. Mercury nodded. The 2 scouts followed by Luna left to start training.

"Endymion. Endymion." A voice called sweetly sounding frightened. He ran around looking for her. He found her. Princess Serenity was on the ground crying. "What's wrong Serenity?" He asked. She gestured and he saw his Shitennou fighting against a darker, distorted version of themselves to protect their loves. "Beryl. It's all her fault." Serenity moaned. "Where are you in this life? I'll find you. I promise." She smiled through her tears and kissed him. "You must find me yourself Endymion. Sailor Moon was created to protect me until the other Senshi are ready. Trust her Endymion. She was my best friend." She said and kissed him again running her hands through his hair. He woke up.

"Alright you're getting better Mercury." Sailor Moon nodded approvingly. "Let's take a break." She added. Mercury nodded. "Luna where are you staying because my apartment doesn't allow pets?" Mercury said petting Luna. "If she wants she can stay with me." Sailor Moon offered. "But you must not reveal my civilian identity to others." She warned and Luna nodded. "Anyway I have to go the Princess is telling me to sleep." She added as Luna jumped on her shoulder. "Why?" Luna asked. "She appears in to talk face-to-face but we have a mental link and Mercury I believe she has a message for you too so go to sleep." Sailor Moon added before teleporting with Luna.

"Ami-chan! Ami-chan!" A voice called. Mercury turned and there stood Princess Serenity smiling. "Princess Serenity!" She answered and ran to her. "Mercury." She said smiling. Ami raised her head. "Where are you now Princess? I'll help you, where are you?" Serenity smiled sadly. "You must find me yourself. Sailor Moon was created to protect me until you are all ready. She is my best friend. Do as she says, be kind, and above all you must trust her. Only then will you know where I am and who I am dear Mercury." Serenity answered. "Yes Princess. I will do as you say." Mercury said bowing. "I have trusted her with all your valuables. Your Mercury Computer and Harp, Mars' Bow and Arrow, Jupiter's Antenna and Wreath, Venus' Chain and Kiss, and a part of the Silver Crystal. She will return them when you are ready." Serenity said before fading from sight. Sailor Moon took her place. "Sailor Mercury please come to the clearing in the Park same time as today. That is where we will be training." She said and when Mercury nodded left.

"So you are?" Luna asked. "Tsukino Usagi." She answered gazing down at the cat fondly. She reached out to pet her. Luna moved out of her reach. "Who were you in the Silver Millennium?" Luna hissed. "I told you before I'm not going to answer that. You let me pet you many times in the Silver Millennium but this is no longer the Silver Millennium. I have all their weapons except for the Silence Glaive and the Garnet Orb." She said untying and brushing her hair. "Those do not belong to you. Return them at once." Luna commanded. "The Princess entrusted them to me to return when I feel they deserve it." Usagi said calmly to the cat. "The Princess is attempting to contact you. Go to sleep." She added. The feline scowled but took her advice as Usagi also went to bed.

"Luna!" A voice called. Luna turned and saw Serenity waving at her. The cat bounded over. "Princess Serenity." She answered smiling. "Luna. You must trust Sailor Moon. She is my best friend. That is the only way you can ever find me." Serenity said picking her up and stroking her. "I need my Silver Crystal back Luna. Hurry and find the Senshi as soon as possible." Serenity said setting her back down. "Don't worry about Venus. It is Artemis' job to find her." She added. "Where are you Princess?" Luna called but Serenity only smiled before fading. "Trust Sailor Moon…"

"Luna, I'm leaving for school. You might want to take my advice and find Mars." Usagi called. Luna sat up. "I'll get on to it." She promised. "Bye!" Usagi called running off to school. "I have to trust her. And she seems like a nice girl." Luna muttered.
