Okay, I don't really have a name for this fanfic yet, but as I type it up, I'm sure I could think of something. Before I continue, I would like to say that I am neither responsible or affiliated with the creation or contents of "Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon" in anyway. "Sailor Moon" is the beautiful work of the extremely talented and creative Naoko Takeuchi. The only characters I claim are the ones I created for this fanfic: Yuria, Princess Amethyst and her other forms. I'd list them all but I don't want to spoilt the story for you all Anyway, the characters I just mentioned are mine, so don't take them (grr...)
I'm a big fan of two groups of villains from the Sailor Moon series: the Black Moon Family and the Amazon Trio. This is my tribute to the family of Nemesis, and it takes place not too long after their (ahem) "destruction" in Sailor Moon R, but before the events of Sailor Moon S. I would like to point out that this is my very first well-thought-out serious fanfic; I have been working on this story and my OC since middle school, and now I have finally perfected everything. It's been a great journey! Any criticisms, comments, questions, yadayadayada are welcome! Oh yeah and run-on sentence-haters, beware! Okay, so I hope you like it and enjoy :)
Tears of the Morning Star
Prologue
Recap
The universe is a beautiful yet very mysterious and dangerous place. Adorned with stars and the home of countless galaxies, the universe holds unknown histories and many secrets. The galaxy we live in, the Milky Way Galaxy, contains a celestial chain known as the Solar System. In it are nine known planets that orbit around the Sun, a massive star of flame. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and last but not least, the beautiful blue planet Earth. For thousands of years, we humans have thrived and prospered on Earth, blessed with beautiful seas, green valleys, and the resources necessary to sustain life. However, it is because of these things that Earth and its treasures have been sought after throughout the years by many manifestations of evil. These malevolent beings often descend to our blue planet in the form of demons, yet they can appear as humans as well, blinded by greed and suffering from the unquenchable thirst for power. But as long as the Sailor Soldiers are around, evil will never cast its shadow for too long. The Sailor Soldiers are champions of Justice and the sworn protectors of the universe, led by the virtuous Soldier of Light, Sailor Moon.
Orbiting Earth is a rock we know as the Moon. Long ago, the Moon also had its own civilization, known as the Moon Kingdom, ruled by the gentle Queen Serenity. Like Earth, the Moon Kingdom was also very prosperous, and Queen Serenity led her people during a peaceful time known as the Silver Millennium. But this age of tranquility was shattered. War and destruction befell the Moon Kingdom, leaving it forever destroyed. With her last breath and the feigning power of the sacred Silver Crystal, Queen Serenity sacrificed herself to restore the lives lost in the war by sending their souls to Earth to be reborn. Among those who perished that fateful day was Queen Serenity's daughter, Princess Serenity, who would be reincarnated on Earth as Tsukino Usagi, a clumsy crybaby with a big heart. Little did Usagi know that later, she would take on her destiny as Sailor Moon, one of the sworn protectors of our universe. During her quest, Sailor Moon will be joined by many other Sailor Soldiers of different planets and galaxies, each with their own special abilities and powers. Though they all share the same fate as guardians of the Earth, they will later discover that Sailor Moon is, in fact, Earth's future queen, Neo Queen Serenity. Throughout the years, Sailor Moon and her Soldiers have vanquished many forms of evil, always succeeding in the end and triumphing over the darkness. One of these battles involved the cursed inhabitants our Solar System's mysterious tenth planet...
At first, Pluto was thought to have been the last planet of the Solar System. However, scientists believed that because Pluto is too small to have any great influence on the orbit of Uranus and Neptune, a tenth planet must exist. Previously named "Planet X", Nemesis was discovered only because of its erratic orbit and the enormous amounts of negative energy it was emitting. A group of young rebels dwelled on this planet; they were known as the Black Moon Family. For reasons still quite obscure, the members of this clan rebelled and attacked the laws of Crystal Tokyo. As a result, they were banished from Earth to the cold and distant moon known as Nemesis by the rulers of Crystal Tokyo, King Endymion and Neo Queen Serenity. For many years, while residing on this desolate planet, the Black Moon Family contemplated an attack on Crystal Tokyo, each member fueled with his/her own thoughts of revenge, power and greed. Once they launched their attack, Earth was nearly reduced to rock and ash. Nothing was left standing except for the Crystal Palace, which managed to sustain the damage caused by the Black Moon. With their powers aligned, the members of Neo Queen Serenity's court incased the palace as well as their Queen in a protective and indestructible shield of quartz crystal, forcing Serenity to fall into a state of dormant sleep. Realizing that they can't touch the palace or Neo Queen Serenity of the future, the family of Nemesis devised a plan to travel back 1,000 years in time in order to attack and destroy Crystal Tokyo of the past, before the reign of Neo Queen Serenity. When they were successful in travelling back in time, the Black Moon invaded Earth, disrupted the balance of peace there and sought out to destroy Sailor Moon and her Soldiers.
A little girl named Chibiusa was able to travel from the future to Earth of the past to try and find Sailor Moon so she can save her mother (Neo Queen Serenity) and Earth's future. Chibiusa is actually Sailor Moon's future daughter, Small Lady. Later, it was discovered that an even more malevolent being known as Wiseman was manipulating the minds of the Black Moon Family all along. With the negative powers of the infamous Black Poison Crystal in his skeletal grasp, he waited quietly and anxiously behind the scenes, pulling the strings and brainwashing everyone for his own personal gain. This eventually led to the downfall and demise of the Back Moon Family, save the evil Wiseman. As soon as he was certain that every member of the Black Moon Family was destroyed, Wiseman finally revealed his true form to the universe: the Death Phantom. He then unleashed his evil powers and launched a powerful attack against Sailor Moon and her Soldiers. But with the combined powers of the Silver Crystals of the past and future, Sailor Moon, Small Lady and the Sailor Soldiers unleashed an even greater attack against the Death Phantom and destroyed him. With the past safe and the future restored, Small Lady returned home safely and the Sailor Soldiers were able to restore peace to the universe once again.
