Quick Note/Message:
Due to the complete lack of interest with my other story, Toy Soldiers, I have decided to stop writing it until further notice and try my hand at something different, hopefully this has a better turn out then Toy Soldiers did. The first part of the story is taken from the US
Dubbed Episode 'The Past Returns'.
Past, Present, Future
Chapter One
1,000 Years Ago
Silver Millennium
The brilliant pink lights from the Imperial Silver Crystal faded into a pale pink then, like the enemies now destroyed by the precious gem, disappeared. Signs of destruction covered the entire surrounding of the once glorious Kingdom of the Moon, everything was now bleak, cold, and a sense of doom and death filled the air. Three life forms was the only thing left on the Moon that had not been destroyed. Queen Serenity was laying on a piece of rubble of the Palace that was left behind after the great battle with Queen Beryl, her energy nearly completely gone. It didn't matter though; she saved her daughter and her people. Her two companions, Luna and Artemis, ran to her side, worried about their Queen and excited about the destruction of their enemy.
"Majesty, you did it!" Luna shouted in relief
"They're gone, you beat them!" Artemis exclaimed
Queen Serenity looked at the tiny crystal in her hand closed her palm tightly around it and looked away, holding the Crystal near her heart. "I trapped them all yes, if I had destroyed them I would have destroyed Serena and the others too. Now they're all inside the power of the crystal and now I must send them to a new future on Earth."
Tears began to fall from Queen Serenity's face and her black feline companion looked at her with a worried look on her face, not understanding why her Queen was so full of peril. "But you saved them, why are you so sad?"
"Because none of them will remember anything about this time or this place, nothing, and I'll never see my sweet daughter again, or you two either," Queen Serenity raised the Crescent Moon Wand and continued to speak as she looked at it inventively. "but this is the only way for any of you to live on. I have enough power left to send everything you'll need in the future to Earth. Serena and her court will need your help if the negaverse ever breaks free."
"Yes." the two felines responded
"All of you will be reborn on Earth with no memory of the Moon Kingdom what so ever, but if evil forces try to repeat what happened here you two will know what to do," Queen Serenity lowered her Crescent Moon Wand and lifted her hand holding the Silver Crystal and opened her hand, and the crystal slowly rose up in the air. "now farewell all of you and good luck, good-bye Serena, you are in my heart always."
A brilliant light escaped the Imperial Silver Crystal and tiny moonbeam crystals appeared, each one holding a child of the Moon, including Princess Serena and members of her court. The Crystal continued to rise and began its new journey towards Earth, taking the moonbeam crystals with it.
"Be happy," Queen Serenity whispered softly, "on behalf of the Moon, you will be free again." the remainder of Queen Serenity's strength and power escaped from her body, rendering her out conscious. "Perhaps we'll meet again."
The tight grip Queen Serenity had on the Crescent Moon Wand ceased. Queen Serenity's hand fell to her side and the Wand fell out of her hand. The great Queen of the Moon and the Silver Millennium was now dead; she sacrificed herself in order for her daughter to live on. Before the Crescent Wand hit the concrete floor, a soft white light glowed from it. The feline companions called out their Queen's name, sensing her death. The light surrounded the loyal companions and incased them in a protective cell, ready to be transported to Earth to act as guardians to the Princess and her court. The Silver Millennium had officially ceased to exist.
Although the children of the moon had been sent to Earth with the chance for a new life with no memory of the Moon Kingdom, part of Serenity's court still remained on the Moon, even days after the attack and the destruction of the Moon Kingdom. On the Far East side of the moon near the mountains, a group of warriors laid out conscious, and severely injured from battle. A brilliant light appeared above the warriors and the spirit of Queen Serenity appeared with a grim look on her face. She closed her eyes tightly and one of the warriors began to stir. A moan escaped her lips in pain. She opened her crystal blue eyes and began to pull her body off the cold concrete floor. Her platinum blonde hair fell from its ponytail and incased her body like a protective blanket. The young girl looked up at the Queen in confusion and the Queen simply offered her a sympathetic smile.
"Queen Serenity… you… you're…"
"A spirit, yes." Queen Serenity responded and lowered herself to be fixated in front of the confused warrior. "I used the last of my energy to send the children of the Moon to a new future on Earth."
"What? I don't understand," she responded in confusion, "Queen Beryl, did she win?"
Queen Serenity shook her head no. "She took the lives of Princess Serena and Prince Darien. I then used the power of the Silver Crystal and trapped Queen Beryl and everyone else inside it."
"And then you sent them to a new future on Earth. To be reborn?"
Queen Serenity nodded. "Yes, Rayne of Eros."
Rayne, the warrior of Eros was now standing on her feet. She looked around her and at the unconscious bodies of the warriors in Queen Serenity's court. Rayne could tell they were alive, having the power of life and death. She looked down at her self, her white, black and red sailor outfit was ripped and torn, her staff with the combination symbol of Eros and the Moon laid at her feet. She bent down and gathered it in her right hand. A brilliant red light escaped the red gem on her staff, surrounding the injured warriors. One by one they all began to stir, and within seconds they all stood up, confusion in their eyes.
"What about us? Why are we still here?" Sailor Eros asked firmly, "We are children of the Moon as well, Queen Serenity, do we not deserve the same chance at happiness as you graced upon the Princess and her people?"
Queen Serenity smiled. "Rayne, Sailor soldier of Eros, great leader of my court, you and your people have a much more important job a head of you. It will be your duty to watch over the Earth and insure that no harm comes to Princess Serena or her people before they can be reborn. In exchange for your loyalty you have shown over the years I will grant each and every one of you power unlike anything you have ever seen before and I will also grant you the gift of immortality."
"Immortality?" Sailor Eros asked in complete shock. For any warrior, the greatest honor one could be given was Immortality. It was an honor only high power, such as Royalty or a God/Goddess could give. Queen Serenity was both.
Queen Serenity nodded as her body began to glow with a white light. Sailor Eros and the other four Warriors also began to glow. A few moments passed and the glowing faded. Queen Serenity changed from her fairy like stage into a full reflection of Queen Serenity. She now stood directly in front of Sailor Eros with a proud smile on her face.
"Rayne of Eros, my daughter," Queen Serenity whispered softly. "you must protect the Earth at any given cost. I trust that you will. Believe in yourself Rayne, and your friends, and there's no telling what you girls will be able to accomplish. Once the Sailor Scouts of Serena's court is reunited and the Crystal is returned to Serena, there will be times that you will think your assistance is needed. However, do not interfere with whatever the situation may be unless instructed by me, understand?"
Sailor Eros nodded. "Yes, Queen Serenity."
Queen Serenity soon disappeared into thin air, leaving the group of warriors standing there alone in glory of their new powers. Sailor Eros turned around and faced her team, Sailor Collisto, Sailor Nero, Sailor Earth, and Sailor Amazian. She sighed and gave them a determined look.
"I hope this is the end of evil." Sailor Nero whispered, walking over to her friend, her ocean colored uniform still ripped and torn from battle.
"You know that will not happen, Cascata," Sailor Earth responded, brushing off her forest green and brown sailor outfit. "no matter where we go, or how long we fight, evil is always going to be around us. It is our job to insure that the future happens as it is meant too. I just hope that once the crystal is returned to Serena that everything will just be a lot better then our ending here."
"Trinity is right, we must never let history repeat itself," Sailor Amazian said as her pink and red uniform disappeared and was replaced with her princess gown. "what happened here on the Moon was horrible. We had a time of peace and love and Queen Beryl took it away from us."
"Right," Sailor Collisto replied as she picked up her dagger and put it back into its safety compartment in her silver and gold uniform. "Queen Serenity is depending on us. We must protect the future and those we love."
Sailor Eros sighed and looked towards the Earth. It hit her then what had happened. Sailor Eros fell to her knees and tears of sorrow escaped from her heart and down her cheek. Her friends stood around her, unsure of how to comfort their friend. Prince Darien, or more formally known as Prince Endymion, was dead and like the others would be reborn on Earth with no memory of her or what they had. Maybe it was better this way.
"Rayne,"
Sailor Earth said quietly as she kneeled beside her friend, "you
know someone once told me, everything in life happens for a reason,
we may not know it now but eventually it'll all make sense. There
is a reason why Prince Endymion was told that you had died in battle
for Eros, there is a reason why he found Princess Serena and fell in
love with her and there is a reason why he is dead and waiting to be
reborn on Earth while you're still here, alive and gifted with
immortality."
"I, I do not understand it Trinity," Sailor
Eros whispered heavy heartedly, "how did Darien meet Serena and
fall in love with her, and not to mention be engaged to be married to
her just six weeks after I left Earth to battle in Eros, which by the
way, that battle only lasted two weeks. I come back to Earth only to
find out he's in love with Princess Serena. I just do not get it."
"He thought you died the second day in battle, he was upset and he did morn Rayne, quite a bit from what I understand," Sailor Collisto said getting the attention of her leader, "he was brought to a ball on the Moon by a friend of his to get his mind off of things, yes I know, not exactly the best place for him to go, and he ended up getting into this big argument with Serene, your mothers maid and poof! Princess Serena shows up and bang! He's in love with her. Love works in weird ways Rayne."
"No, men work in weird ways Collist," said Sailor Nero sending everyone into a laughing frenzy. "but seriously Rayne, forget about it. The princess is young; she's what, maybe thirteen? If that…"
"Look, I'll be fine, alright?" Sailor Eros whispered, faking a smile. "Besides, she is my sister. She has the life I gave up. She's a princess and I am a warrior, and that's how I wanted it. It is only natural that the Moon Princess and Earth Prince fall in love."
"That's what happened with the two of you," Sailor Earth said, helping her friend off the ground. "you two were the ones that were meant to be together but when you gave up your claim to the thrown and you left for Eros to be a warrior like your father the stars changed. This was supposed to be the time when the Moon and Earth were finally joined together and with you an Eros warrior, the higher powers had to insure that prophecy fulfilled itself."
"I know." Sailor Eros responded, "I chose this life and now, I must deal with the consequences…" Sailor Eros paused before she clenched her stomach and passed out.
Two Hours Later"What do we do?" Sailor Earth asked, looking at her leader who was comfortably wrapped up in a salvaged blanket, "she cannot fight if she is like this. We cannot allow it."
"You are right Trinity of Earth," Queen Serenity replied softly, "we must keep her out of training and away from harm. When she awakens, please do not tell her of her current condition allow me to do it. This will be extremely difficult for her to take in at this moment."
Sailor Earth nodded and turned her attention to her leader who had finally began to stir. She knelt down beside Sailor Eros and brushed a lock of blonde hair from her face. "Rayne, welcome back, how are you feeling?"
"Lousy," Rayne whispered and turned her head to the side, only to see the Queen standing beside the bed. "Queen Serenity, what are you doing here?"
"Rayne, I have some news for you and I'm not really sure what kind of news it is, however, Rayne you must know. You're pregnant."
