Author's note: This is based on an RPG I was in. Unfortunately, we didn't
get too far into it and now it has beed deleted. Anyways, not all of the
characters are in their original form. I have obtained permission from the
owners of a few of the Silver Senshi to use them. Anyways, I'll get on
with the story now. Oh, and the prologue takes place with our beloved Usa-
chan. Enjoy.
Prologue
Usagi awoke when she heard the first rumble. Her eyes had almost opened
with an audible snap. Immediately she looked outside her window, and then
wished she hadn't. Rain was pouring down outside, and it was being ac-
cented by bolts of lightning and thunder.
Another peal of thunder roared through the sky, making Usagi wince. She
looked over at her bedside clock and noted that it was seven am. Knowing
she would never be able to get back to sleep she rose out of bed and
slowly got ready for the day. If anything good were to come out of this
storm, it would be that Usagi could be on time for once and not have to
rush around.
She saw a look of astonishment on her brother's face. Her mother, on the
other hand, beamed with pride. "It looks like you might finally be on
your way to growing up Usagi," she said.
"Hai mama. I might be," Usagi replied. She couldn't be the one to break
it to her mother that she wouldn't be up yet if it wasn't for the storm.
She worked hard to please her mother anyways, so this couldn't hurt her
much, could it? Usagi quickly shook the thought from her head. 'No,
it definitely couldn't harm her,' she thought.
After breakfast Usagi stood and casually made her way out of the house,
making sure to grab an umbrella along the way. The storm outside did not
look to be ending anytime soon, and she was sure her teacher would kill
her for dripping water all over the floor.
She walked down the road towards her school, every now and then letting
out a shudder as more thunder roared overhead. The thunder also reminded
her of the last battle she had been in. How the outer senshi had tried
to protect her, even after they had shown themselves to be traitors. 'No,
they never betrayed me. They had a plan, and that was to get in Galaxia's
graces,' Usagi thought defiantly.
She never would think of any of her senshi as betraying her. They had all
sworn to always protect her, and she would be damned if she thought they
were doing otherwise. A little voice in the back of her head reminded her
of Sailors Uranus and Neptune killing Pluto and Saturn. Usagi shook her
head again. 'It was to help with their plan. They wouldn't do that under
normal circumstances,' she thought.
'But what would you call 'normal circumstances' Usagi?' the voice asked.
'You shut up! Haruka and Michiru are two of the most loyal senshi I have
ever had the pleasure of meeting. Everything they did was to try and
protect me. In the end they showed they were on my side,' Usagi thought
venomously.
The voice seemed to laugh, or did the closest immitation. 'If you think
so Usagi,' the voice said then silenced. By now her internal conver-
sation had started to show itself on her face. She had a look of irrita-
tion on her face. She had also not been paying attention to where she
was walking and ran into someone.
She fell to the ground and succeeded in getting her uniform soaked. She
looked to who she bumped into, getting ready to chew them out for not
looking where they were going, all thought of herself doing the same gone
in an instant. She noticed the dark hair and the blue eyes of her fiance
immediately and lost all the anger she was about to unleash. A smile
came to her lips and her eyes softened. "Mamo-chan," she said quietly.
Chiba Mamoru looked up to see Usagi smiling. 'It worked Chiba-san,' he
thought. "Morning Usako," he said, standing back up.
Usagi stood as well, her hair and uniform completely soaked, the umbrella
she had earlier discarded. The two quickly shared an embrace. "Mamo-
chan, I don't want to, but I have to go. It's almost time for school,"
she said quietly.
Mamoru nodded and picked up Usagi's umbrella. "I know it might not help
now, but here you go Usako," he said, handing it over.
Usagi smiled and took the umbrella, then hurried on to school. Her day
didn't improve any from there. In class she had been made to stand
outside the room until she had dried most of the way. She had gotten a
detention for not having any of her homework. After school she had gone
home to find that her mother had gone to the store, and Usagi had left
her key inside. Then to top it all off, the storm was still raging on.
If anything, it had actually gotten worse.
When Usagi slid into bed that night sleep nearly took her away instantly.
However, sleep lost its grip on her around two in the morning. A loud
blast of thunder awoke Usagi. She sat up in her bed gasping for air.
Another flash of lightning preceeded more thunder, but something in that
flash caught her eye. Something had happened in the mirror.
Another flash came, and Usagi looked again. She let out a gasp. "Iie,
it can't be," she whispered. A third flash confirmed it. In her mirror
Queen Serenity appeared.
She stood and walked over to the mirror. "Serenity-sama?" she asked in
a whisper.
The image was still there, only very faint when there wasn't lightning.
Slowly Serenity nodded her head. Tears had formed in Usagi's eyes. It
wasn't very often that Usagi would see the mother of her past life.
Before Usagi could say anything Serenity held up a hand. "Please,
don't cry over me. I've never wanted that to happen. Now dry your
eyes my little Sun and Stars," she said.
Usagi did the best she could, but didn't feel she got all of her tears.
Something brushed against her leg, catching her by surprise. She looked
down and saw Luna there. "Can you see her Luna? It's Queen Serenity,"
she said.
Luna looked at the mirror and nodded. "Serenity-sama, it's good to see
you again," Luna said.
Serenity looked at the cat in confusion. "Have we met before? I don't
remember you kitty, or are you a kitten of Kodora and Aikou?" Serenity
asked.
"Have we met before?" Luna repeated in amazement. "I was your top advisor
with Artemis. You put me in charge of watching your daughter. When the
kingdom fell you told me to find the senshi and awaken them."
"No, that was Kodora. He was my advisor. I don't remember you kitty, I'm
sorry," Serenity stated.
"Wait. Something is wrong here. I remember seeing Luna when I was shown
the past. She and Artemis gave the warning when Beryl attacked the Moon,"
Usagi said.
"Beryl? Who is that? Could this Beryl have been a general of King Goshe-
nite?" Serenity asked in confusion.
"King...Goshe...nite?" Usagi asked slowly. "Iie. Beryl was queen of the
Dark Kingdom. Well behind Metallia, that is. I defeated both of them,
though," Usagi explained.
"I'm sorry, I don't know who you are talking about. The Moon was attacked
by King Goshenite. He and his generals destroyed it before I could seal
them away and send the souls of my daughter, the senshi, and the other
other citizens to be reborn," Serenity said before gasping. "Oh no."
Usagi had already reached the same conclusion as Serenity. "You're in
another dimension," Usagi said slowly as Serenity nodded.
Usagi set her face into one of determination. "I'm going," she said. "If
you can come here, then I can go there."
"But Usagi-chan, what about this dimension? We need you," Luna pleaded.
"The other senshi can handle things for a while. Luna, you should stay
behind to tell them," Usagi said. The next part was what was going to be
hard. "and to keep my parents from worrying. I want you to make them for-
get about me, just until I come back. It might be best to make them think
I'm away at college, because that way they wouldn't think abou this room."
Luna started to protest, but knew Usagi had already made up her mind.
"Just be careful Usagi-chan, please," Luna said in defeat.
"Hai, I will. Take care of everyone for me Luna," Usagi said smiling
down at the cat. With purposeful steps Usagi walked up to the mirror.
She took a few breaths to settle her nerves, then stepped forward into
the mirror, and another dimension.
