The Illusion of Peace
As Sailor Moon Fanfiction
By Michi-chan
Prologue – In the Beginning
There was a time when our solar system had ten planets. There was Mercury, a plant dedicated to the arts, sciences, and intellectual thinking. They were innovators and philosophers, striving to make the universe a better place.
Mars was the plant that dedicated itself to the physical arts. Fueled by the desire for power and strength, they devoted their efforts to bettering themselves through physical training. The also specialized in the metaphysical forces, prophecies, and divinations.
Jupiter, as the largest planet, took their focus from many of the surrounding planets. The people of Jupiter were a mix of those who wanted to break free of their constraints. To test their limits and find new beginnings. They were known for their resilience and acceptance of life and cultures.
Venus was a mysterious planet, shrouded by a thick fog. Little was known of them, but the few who emerged from this hermit planet became some of the greatest beings of all time.
Earth was home to the human population. A still new species that depended on physical strength and ingenuity. A superstitious lot, full of potential.
There were other planets as well. Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and Pluto, which would one day lose its planet status, but that is a story for another time.
These were the nine planets we knew. The planets we grew up knowing.
But, before our common knowledge, the people of the moon emerged. A colonized planet that came about as a result of Earth attempting the stretch its borders.
But the moon is not the mysterious tenth planet I mentioned my child. No.
The tenth plant was something different.
It was large. Larger than even Jupiter. It was rich in natural resources and circled a small sister star to the sun. For you see, our solar system, eons ago, not only had ten planets but also had two suns.
This planet was called Sanghal Haeng-Seong, and nicknamed, "The Living Planet."
The rulers of the planet sent voyagers to occupy the planet, and it was so large that it was years before the kingdoms realized they all had the same idea.
Many generations passed and the origin of the nine kingdoms faded into legend.
These nine kingdoms lived in harmony and turmoil from ruler to ruler. But no such kingdom had more problems than that of the Earth Kingdom. After establishing a new colony, the colonists rebelled, wanting independence from the Earth Kingdom's royal family.
With the help of Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn, they were recognized as their own kingdom. The Moon Kingdom.
They were small and their land had few resources and soon, independence was not enough.
Under the leader of one King Ender, the Moon kingdom slowly invaded the surrounding kingdoms. Starting with Pluto, and betraying Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn. King Ender then passed his mission to his son, Prince Mion. With the Moon Kingdom's new found strength, power, and resources, they were ready to take on the remaining kingdoms. The Big Five.
Mars. Jupiter. Mercury. Venus. Earth.
The war nearly engulfed the plant and few places escaped unscathed by the demons of war. In the end, the Moon Kingdom became victorious over Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus, and effectively swallowed much of the land.
But Earth would not yield. So a treaty was signed.
Our story begins five years later.
