A/N: Hey just a quick note, this story uses the dub names since that's what I remember from Cartoon Network. That is the only thing that carries from the dub however. Enjoy!

1993

Sea of Japan

"Come about, easy now…easy….there we are." Ronald Marks, captain of the trawler Blue Tide, had been fishing commercially for a dozen years now, but he'd never had a block of ice show up in his net. At least not until tonight. He instructed his men as they hoisted up the net for a better look.

The crane lifted the block into the air and he signaled the crane's operator to drop the net onto the deck. It was already night and raining and normally he'd just toss anything caught in the net back into the sea, but the block was too large so he'd have to undo the net and reattach it, plus he thought he could see something in this ice block.

With a loud thud the block landed on the deck. Ronald turned on the ships running lights as he walked down from the bridge to join the crewmen already crowded around the ice and were removing the net. Ronald took one look at the ice and went pale. Looking back at him with a frozen expression of surprise in his eyes was a man.

"Christ there's a guy in there." He exclaimed. He ordered a pair of crewmen to grab some tools and in a few minutes there were a four different people chipping away at the ice. Ronald watched them and took another look at the man in the ice.

He was blond and dressed in a grey military style uniform with red trim. It looked vaguely familiar but he couldn't place it. He was still thinking on it when the ice cracked down the middle. All the crewmen stopped and watched as the crack began to glow. They took a step back and covered their eyes as the ice shattered. When the light cleared the ice was entirely gone and the man in the ice was kneeling on all fours. Ronald took a step towards him and his eyes shot open.

In one motion he stood and launched himself at the pair of crewmen directly in front of him. In a feat of strength he grabbed both men by their collars and threw them overboard. Another crewman raised the pickaxe he'd been using to chip the ice and swung at him. The man turned, dodged under the attack and punched him in the stomach. With his left hand he grabbed the crewman's head and with his right he redirected the head of the pickaxe into its owners face. The metal pierced the skull and the body immediately went limp. The blond man pulled the pickaxe out of the skull and threw it across the deck to hit the last crewman in the chest.

Alone and frozen to his place in fear, Ronald trembled as the blond man walked up to him. He looked into his eyes before grabbing him by the neck. When he spoke his voice was labored as though he hadn't spoken in years.

"What…year…is it?" Ronald swallowed hard.

"I-it's a…93. 1993." The blond man lifted Marks off the ground and leaned his head in.

"And can this ship take me to Tokyo?" Ronald could only nod. The blond man smiled and twitched his wrist. Ronald's body crumpled to the floor. "Good" His smile grew wider and he chuckled to himself. "Soon those sailors will know Jedite's back!"

Four years later

March 23rd, 1997

Tokyo, Japan

'Go to Japan, they said. It'll be good for you, they said. Yeah right' Jack Williams thought to himself as he stamped his feet to warm them up. Winter in Tokyo was as cold as it had been in Portland. It didn't help that this time of year it was already dark by the time he was walking from the university to work. The crosswalk sign changed from a red hand to a white person and he started across the intersection. 'Got no car, got no money, I should've just stayed at Portland U.'

He made it to the other sidewalk just as the sign was changing. As he stepped onto the sidewalk a woman going the other way was walking into the street. He didn't think anything of it at first until he heard a horn and turned around.

"Hey look out!" Jack yelled as he leaned into the street and grabbed the woman by her shoulders. He pulled her back onto the sidewalk just as a bus drove where she'd been an instant before. "Hey are you alright?" He asked. The woman turned around and he got a better look at her.

She was about average height and had long dark green hair. Dark red eyes sat on a tanned face. She had an expression of surprise on her face and blinked twice before speaking.

"Um…yes…sorry I should have seen that coming." She said. Jack nodded and let go of her shoulder. There was something about her, but he couldn't quite place it. She held out her hand "Thank you Mr.…."

"Jack, Jack Williams." Jack said shaking her hand. She smiled.

"Trista." Jack smiled back and noticed the hands on his watch.

"Oh shoot, I gotta get to work." He said letting go of her hand and gesturing over his shoulder.

"Well it was nice to meet you Jack." She said still smiling. Jack nodded.

"You too." He said as he turned around and started jogging down the street. 'I'm gonna be late.' He thought.

~/~/~

"Williams you're late." The evening manager of the Knights Logistics mailroom said as Jack stepped off the stairs and into the basement mail room. "Doesn't that fancy watch of yours tell time?"

"My father's watch works fine. I stopped to help someone." Jack said putting his coat on a hook and grabbing a bin filled with letters. His manager snorted.

"God helps those that help themselves." He said grabbing his own jacket to leave." "And in your case I'd think about grabbing some help if you want to get all of those sorted and be out of here before midnight." Jack looked over and spotted four other mail bins waiting to be sorted.

~/~/~

"I don't know about any of these Amy." Serena said looking at the half dozen college brochures sitting on her kitchen table. Her blue haired friend sighed.

"Serena you need to find a college, you graduate this year. Most colleges want you to have applied already." Serena groaned.

"I know, I know but it's hard. I don't even know what I want to study." She looked at her friend. "It's easy for you Amy; you've known what you wanted to be since I've known you." The bluenette frowned.

"Well what do you like to do?" She asked. Serena groaned and put her head down on the table. Just then there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it." Amy said as she walked into the hall. "Keep looking through those brochures."

Serena grumbled and picked up one of the folded papers. The cover had a large stylized TU on the front. 'This doesn't look like it would be fun at all.' She thought to herself.

"Trista what brings you here?" Amy's voice carried from the hallway.

"Just bringing a few things over." Serena looked up to see her green haired friend enter the room. "Still trying to decide on a school?" She asked. Serena shrugged.

"I'd just go to the same place as Darien but he's out of college now." Trista nodded and sat a packet on the table.

"What's this?" Serena asked eyeing the papers suspiciously.

"It's a placement test. Even if you don't know where you want to go you should still see where you place. It might even help you decide what you want to do." Serena groaned and put her head back down on the table.

"The last thing I want to do is another test." Something else fell on the table.

"And we have a problem." Serena jumped as the heavy newspaper slammed onto the table next to her. Amy looked at the headline.

"New Prime Minister?" she asked turning the three words into a question. The green haired woman pointed to the article in the side column. Amy picked up the paper for a better look. "Knight Logistics warehouse robbed." Serena didn't understand the significance and tried to look over her blue haired friends shoulder. "Knight Logistics has reported that another of their warehouses has been robbed," Amy read "the third this month." She looked at Trista. "I've never heard of Knight Logistics." Trista pointed to the attached picture, a stylized black letter K with a large L wrapped around one side.

"Knight Logistics is a transportation and shipping company that got big and incorporated a few years ago. In the last few months they've been buying up a lot of property." She paused. "Including most of the buildings that the Witches 5 was using. Both of the girls looked up at that.

"Is there anything still there that they could use?" Amy asked. Trista shook her head.

"There shouldn't be, but…"

"We need to be sure." Serena finished, suddenly serious. Trista looked at the younger woman. Serena had grown substantially as a leader in the last five years but the Scout of time was still worried that she wouldn't be ready when the time came. "We should take a look tonight." The blonde turned to Amy.

"Can you call Lita, Mina, and Rye?" Amy nodded and went off to the phone. "And Trista can you…" She trailed off. The green haired woman was already gone.

~/~/~

Jack Williams reached for the fourth bin of mail. A glance at his watch told him that he'd been at this for almost three hours. He sighed and reached for a letter when he felt a sharp pain in his right hand. His hand twitched and he rubbed it and shook off the pain when it came back stronger.

"What the hell" he said to himself, looking at his hand. All at once the pain shot through his hand again but this time it crawled up his arm to his head. "Uhh…" he said dropping the bin and grabbing his head with both hands. "Go…" he said between deep breaths. "Got to…go…"

~/~/~

Amy and Serena stepped off the #14 bus at the edge of the cities industrial district. "Any luck with the others?" Serena asked. Amy shook her head as she put her communicator away.

"Rye and Lita are coming but they're an hour away and Mina's out of town." Serena frowned.

"They'll have to catch up; we need to check this out."

"All we're doing right now is checking this out." Amy reminded. "We don't even know if anything out of the ordinary is going on yet." Serena looked at the surrounding buildings.

"Right, but we have to take this seriously. If there's a new threat maybe we can stop it before it hurts anyone." She as she started down the street. Amy grabbed her friends shoulder.

"Hold on," she said mercury computer in hand. "Let me find where it is…"

~/~/~

Half an hour later the two rounded a corner and came upon a small warehouse near a runoff canal, filled water from the snow that had melted. The building had a large sign newer than the rest of the building. PROPERTY OF KNIGHT LOGISTICS it read in black letters on a white background. In the bottom right corner was the same logo they'd seen in the newspaper. They could see where the loading doors had been smashed open and there were tire tracks on the ground near the open doors.

"Looks like someone just drove straight through the doors." Amy remarked. Serena nodded and stepped inside the building. It was dark, the inside lit only by the moonlight coming through windows in the ceiling. The warehouse itself was almost completely empty. She only saw a few crates in a corner.

"I'm going to try to access the buildings mainframe." Amy said as she took out her mercury computer and opened up a junction box. Serena didn't respond. Instead she leaned in for a closer look at the crates.

They had all been forced open, a pair of padlocks that someone had taken bolt cutters to were next to them on the ground and they were open. Serena could see something on the side and brushed away the dust. What she saw made her jump backwards.

"I'm in." Amy announced as she started going through the buildings information, her computer downloading the information at the same time. "Looks like no one's been using this place for…anything for the last four years."

"Just to store Witches 5 stuff." Serena said. Ami spun around and saw their signature black star on the side of the box the blonde was pointing to. "Whatever Pharaoh 9's minions left here, the robbers took." Ami bit her lip.

"Who would-" She was interrupted by the sound of breaking glass from above. Both girls looked up to see the outline of an armored figure standing on the scaffolding above.

To Serena it looked like a knight she'd seen in history book. The figure was dressed in full plate armor from head toe with a large round helmet completely covering its head. A large shield and sword were slung over its back. It starred at them for a moment before taking off along the scaffolding.

"Hey get back here." Serena yelled running up the stairs after the armored figure. The Knight look-a-like reached the ladder at the end of the scaffolding and climbed to the roof. By the time Serena was on the roof the armored figure was jumping onto the roof of the building next door. A quick glance around told her that there was no one else around for miles and she reached for her compact.

"MOON CRYSTAL MAKEUP" A pink multicolored light enveloped her and by the time the armor plated figure had landed on the next roof Sailor Moon was running after it.

The 'Knight' landed with a roll on the next rooftop and took off at a sprint, not bothering to look behind it. The moon themed heroine had an easier time with the jump and landed on her feet, starting to close the distance between the two. The knight glanced over its shoulder then dove at the skylight in front of it.

The glass shattered and Sailor Moon made it to the skylight in time to see the knight pick itself up off a pile of smashed cardboard boxes and run for the exit. She ran to the edge of the building and jumped onto the sloping roof that ran along the side, jumping to the ground from a much safer distance. Just then the door opened.

"Stop right there." The Knight froze in the doorway. "Step outside." Sailor Moon commanded. The knight did so, turning to face her. "Who are you?" She demanded. The knight took a step back. "What were you doing there?" Another step back. "Answer me!" The Knight took a third step back and fell backwards off the edge of the runoff canal. Sailor Moon rushed to the edge but there was no trace of the knight in the water. Just then Sailor Mercury came through the same door the Knight had just used.

"Who was that?" she asked. The twin ponytailed heroine shook her head

"I don't know." She said as she watched the water flow down the canal. . "But I'm sure we'll see them again."

~/~/~

Several hours later, miles away in a small building that had been all but forgotten by time, the Knight stumbled inside. The place was a church, or it had been, but its age was far older than the simple stone work suggested. The knight walked past the ancient pews and shattered stained glass windows up to the altar. It knelt there and looked at the large mural behind it on the wall, the only glasswork not completely destroyed by time. It starred at it for several moments before speaking.

"Then it is her."
