Notes: For this story, I'm gonna make it so that Usagi became Sailor Moon when she was thirteen instead of fourteen, ok? So everyone became a senshi a year early but nothing else is different. This takes place right after Sailor Moon Stars so Usagi is in eternal form, alright? Cool. You know I don't own any of these anime. BTW, it's a Sailor Moon, Escaflowne, Gundam Wing crossover. There are so very few Sailor Moon and Escaflowne crossovers out there and I wish there was more. Well, Usagi centered of course. Anyway, on to the story, peeps!!!
Chapter 1:
*Doushite?……Why did you guys risk your lives for me? It wasn't worth it… It wasn't worth it at all….…* Usagi Tsukino said to herself, as she could feel the salty tears trickle down the sides of her face but she didn't care. This fourteen year-old girl held many secrets with her, one mainly that she was Sailor Moon, agent of love and justice who fought to protect the people from the danger. She had pale platinum blonde hair with silver streaks in her hair that made her look astonishingly gorgeous, her beauty that could surpass an angel. Though, at that moment, her face and eyes were just filled with despair that would anyone's heart break. Anyone who knew her, would definitely be concerned for this teen was almost always cheery, happy-go-lucky and definitely carefree, but that disappeared from her face. Little did she know that today was the day that would change herself and her life forever….
Usagi didn't care then that people around her were staring at and mumbling things about her and pointing to her, wondering why would she be so sad. Nor did she care about some middle-aged men who walked past her, and just looked at her with disgust, calling her weak at the same time. She didn't care one bit. Those were the least of her worries then… She had just left school not even a minute ago after getting a two hour detention today because she was late like usual and she was daydreaming in class. Over and over again, the scenes would play in her mind, back to what happened at Haruka's and Michiru's apartment yesterday morning…
~ Flashback ~
"Ohayo minna-chan!" Usagi exclaimed as she walked in her friends' apartment when Michiru had opened the door for her.
"Ohayo Usagi-chan." the older senshi said with a nod and a smile. Usgai smiled back and closed the door behind her. Another senshi walked out into the living room and raised her eyebrow before smirking at her.
"Wow……Up so early today, eh?…Hmm…are you sick, koneko-chan?"
" 'Ruka! Just 'cause I'm up early for once doesn't mean that I'm sick!" Usagi pouted which made the two older senshis laugh. Just then, a familiar green haired lady walked into the room with a purple-almost-black haired preteen trailing behind her.
Usagi smiled at them also. "Setsuna-chan!! Hota-chan!!"
"Ohayo, Usagi-chan." the duo chorused, smiling back. Suddenly, before any one of them even knew it, the door burst open and four soldiers came running in, their guns up, safety off, aiming it at them.
"What the fu** is goin' on here?!!" Haruka demanded as she and the other senshis held their henshin pens tightly in their pockets. Well, except Usagi because her was her bow of her seifuku she was wearing then and she didn't dare lift her hand for fear that they might shoot and her and her friends might get hurt, so she had her arms down next to her side.
"Usagi Tsukino." One of the soldiers said ignoring the now beyond enraged senshi of the kaze , as he pointed at the confused Usagi. "Follow us willingly or we'll be forced to shoot your and your friends."
"Nani?!! What do you want with Usagi-chan?" the outer senshis asked, narrowing their eyes and they turned into slits.
"That's none of your business!" the one who spoke earlier shouted.
Usagi softly gasped in shock and looked over their uniform. *OZ.* she thought and slightly narrowed her eyes but then were filled with confusion again. *Why would OZ be looking for me?…… I'll figure that out later. I have to go or they'll all be killed before we even have a chance to henshin.* She shook her head and took a step forwards.
"Iie, Usagi! Don't go!" they shouted and ran towards her, managing to pull her away in time before the gun shots were heard throughout the house and neighborhood. All four senshis hit the floor with a thud but Setsuna and Haruka were able to grab the leg of the table near them while on the ground and fling them at the soldiers. They soldiers kept shooting but then blocked themselves with their arms as the table smacked right into them, making them fall to the ground.
"Koneko! Get outta here!!!" Haruka shouted while blood was flowing from her, now creating a pool, completely drenching and staining the carpet as she passed away that very second.
"Usagi! Go!" Michiru choked up blood as the lids fell over her eyes and she died.
"Usagi-chan! Hurry up and leave!!" the senshi of silence said as her head hit the ground and her eyes closed forever.
"Usagi-hime…. Run… Time is running out." the guardian of time looked pleadingly at her, who was bending down near them shaking her head, refusing to go. Tears clouded her eyes again as she watched her close friends, die one by one in front of her and she could do nothing to help them. Just like the others, the older senshi's eyes closed shut and her head fell to the ground.
"Iie…Don't leave me….Onegai…" She sobbed but then jerked her head up when she heard noises in the room and saw that the soldiers were getting up. *I won't let your sacrifice for me got to waste, minna-chan. She held her brooch in the air and a few seconds later, Eternal Sailor Moon stood there. There was no speeches this time. She just held up her wand and whispered the magical words. "Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss." Her attack disintegrated the bullets that were fired at her and collided with them, instantly killing them. She then fell on her knees and began quietly sobbing again in the center of the room that was now filled with darkness.
~ End of Flashback ~
*I miss you guys minna-chan…… Why did you leave me?…You guys shouldn't have done that….You shouldn't have.* She suddenly bumped into somebody and stumbled back. "Gomen nasai. I wasn't looking at where I was going." she said, wiping her tears away, her head bowed in apology.
"Usagi." she heard a cold yet familiar voice spat at her. She looked up and was surprised to see her boyfriend and her friends, the inner senshis, there in front of her.
"Mamo-chan! Minna-chan! What are you guys doi--…Matte… Mamo-chan. You called me Usagi……not Usako…………Doushite? What's going on?" she asked in confusion.
"That's right. I said Usagi and not Usako, nor will I ever say that again." he glared icily at her, as did the others. "We've waited long enough and we can't take it any more. Hand over the ginzuishou."
"Nani? Doushite?….What do you guys mean -you've waited long enough.-" she backed away.
"Hand over the ginzuishou so we can give it to Beryl-sama." Ami repeated harshly.
"Beryl-sama?…But she's--." she was cut off before she could finish.
"Beryl-sama is not dead." Makoto said.
"But….how?…. And why are you guys doing this?"
"Did you think that Beryl-sama was really dead, baka?… And no, we aren't brainwashed, if that's what you're thinking." Rei spat.
"We can't take you any more. We were hoping you would improve and maybe be more smarter or fight better and then we would ask you to side with us but that's impossible and a little too late. So hand over the ginzuishou!!" Minako finished. Usagi stood there in shock but then snapped out of it when she saw that they were going to pounce on her like a prey. She swung her surprisingly heavy book bag, surprising them by her quick act, causing it to smack against their faces. They stumbled back, trying to reach and tried to grab her but she did a round house kick, once again stunning them and they fell to the ground. She then ran as fast as she could towards her house, careful as to not knock the people down as she ran pass by them. She thanked kami-sama that all that running she did going to school every morning actually came in handy. She also silently thanked a special senshi no kaze for she had been giving her lessons of martial arts for about a few months now. *How could they do this to me? Mamo-chan and minna-chan…… first 'Ruka-chan and them sacrificing their lives for and now Mamo-chan and them betraying me like that. Doushite?!!! What did I ever do to deserve this?!!!!……… They never were my friends……Nor did Mamo-chan ever love me…It was all just a lie…… All the times he said he loved me and my so called friends……* Flashes of pictures when she would hang out with the inners, when Mamoru would take her on dates and kiss her. Many scenes flashed at the same speed of light each one making her tears spill more and more. *All a lie……They're a lie……… A BIG DAMN LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* Her mind screamed in anger while she kept on running nonstop. She ran for about ten minutes until she heard a voice calling her name up ahead of her and she jerked her head up. She wiped her tears away when she saw a crying and really upset Shingo running up to her.
"Usagi!!!! Usagi!!!!!!!" She looked at him with concern and worry while running up to him.
"Shingo! What is it?! What's wrong?" she asked her face etched with concern and fear that something bad had happened. She had never saw her brother so sad and upset like this before and she was really worried, not to mention growing more and more afraid by the second.
"Soldiers…. Five of them…… they broke into our house and said they were looking for you and that they wouldn't let us get out alive unless they tell us where you were. Okaa-san and Otou-san tried to save me and they told me to run away and tell you not to go back. Okaa-san and Otou-san then said that we have to get out of here…. I couldn't stop them….. Those soldiers shot kaa-san and tou-san while trying to help me escape. I couldn't stop them, Usagi…… I couldn't stop them at all….." he explained as Usagi held him tight while he was crying on her shirt, shaking in fear.
"Iie….. Okaa-san…. Otou-san……Not you too…… IIE!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed into the empty open. She collapsed onto her knees and he did the same, crying and supporting together. She couldn't take it any more. It was all to much for her to handle, as she could feel her rage building. *Why does it have to be this way?……. All I ask is…….doushite………Why are the OZ soldiers after me? I didn't do anything that had to do with OZ so why? Why did the outers have to die? Why did okaa-san and otou-san have to die? Why did Shingo have to see them die right in front of his eyes? Why did Mamo-chan and the inners have to betray me?…… DOUSHITE??????!!!!!!!!!!!* ……….
"Usagi…. You didn't do anything to anger them….did you?"
Usagi was shocked that he would ask her that but who could blame him. "Iie. They killed my friends when they were looking for me at their house too. I don't know why they are looking for me…… I wish I did…………… It's not your fault that you couldn't save Okaa-san and Otou-san, Shingo…..It's mine. They were looking for me………"
"No it's not Usa--."
She silenced him with her hand up and he stopped. She jerked her head up when she heard a faint noise that the average human wouldn't have heard in the big bushes to her right and her eyes narrowed. "Who's there?!" she demanded as she moved in front of Shingo protectively, who hid behind her, now just sniffling.
*Good reflexes and senses. She'd be perfect.* "I'm sorry but I was trying to hide from the soldiers as well. I'm sorry about your family….." a man said as he stepped out of the bushes, while Usagi and Shingo stood up, still protecting her brother. Usagi and Shingo silently observed him. He had grayish blonde hair that went a bit pass his shoulder blade and a weird goggle-like glasses. He had pretty thick eyebrows, a mustache and a beard to boot. He had his hands behind his back and wore a lab coat, you know those kind who were scientists. Usagi mentally stored the appearance of this man in her brain for she somehow knew that he would be the one that would completely change her. She, for some odd reason, felt that she could trust this man, but she's better not jump to conclusions. After all, she trusted Mamoru and the inners….and look where it has put her right now. She absently narrowed her eyes….they almost turning into slits. Just thinking about them angered her but if you looked deep enough into her orbs, you could tell that there is also a lot of pain and of betrayal which put a big ache in her heart. "I know I'm just a stranger but I want to be of help and take the two of you in…… I know that it was OZ that was looking for you."
"How do you know that?" Usagi asked in suspicion.
The man ignored her. "I can help train you since your brother is too young and you can avenge your parents' death." Usagi's eyes widened at this. *Avenge minna-chan's death?* She asked herself. *I just know you'll agree. You have to……Hmm….I should tell them my name, right?….or iie….* the man thought. He then seemed to be fighting an inner battle, Shingo noted as he continued to observe him. He was right when the man nodded to himself. Shingo then narrowed his eyes and slightly shook his head. *There's something about this guy I just don't like. I don't know what it is but I don't like him one bit…… I'm gonna keep him away from us. The farther we are from him, the better….* "………My name is Dr. J and I am against OZ as you guys are. If you agree, like I said, you can avenge your parents' death. We need someone like you to help us defeat OZ."
"Someone like me? And what do you mean -we-?"
"Hai. I can tell that you have great potential……. Me and my comrades are against OZ."
"Usagi, don't agree. I don't want you to kill." Shingo pleaded. He then spoke more softly so that only Usagi could hear. "Let's go. I don't like it when I'm around him……I don't trust him." Usagi thought about this for a second and then turned to Shingo.
"Shingo….I know you wouldn't like my decision but I feel as if I have to do this. Gomen nasai…" Shingo's eyes bulged as he watched in horror, knowing exactly what she was going to do.
"IIE!!! Usagi! You can't agree with him. You can't follow him!! Onegai, Usagi!!!!" He tugged on her long sleeve of her school uniform. Trying to change her mind but to no avail. She turned to the doctor and nodded.
"Usagi!!!! Usagi!!!!! Iie, Usagi!!!!!! You can't!!!!! You can't!!!!!!!! I don't want you to die like Okaa-san and Otou-san!!! Usagi, onegai!!!! Listen to me!!!!" he shouted.
"I won't die Shingo…….. I'll tell you a secret about me later that I have kept too long….." she said emotionlessly. "……We can't let kaa-san's and tou-san's death be like this…" Shingo just stared at her, not a word spoken. "…nor minna-chan's…" she soflty added afterwards, referring to the outers. *I don't want you to be like this Usagi. I don't like it when you are like this……* he thought.
"Don't worry, Shingo…… No matter what, I'll always protect you from anyone who is a threat to us…… I won't let your fate, nor mine, be like kaa-san's and tou-san's…… Trust me……" Shingo looked into her eyes and saw pain, anger, guilt, and most of all, determination…. He lowered his gaze, not knowing what to say…. Suddenly, Usagi heard running behind her and turned around, the other two later did what she did. She grit her teeth when she saw that it was Mamoru and the inner senshis. Dr. J noticed her reaction towards them and decided to help out. He figured now would be a good time to get going and then start her training.
"Follow me." was al Dr. J said and he walked into the alley. She nodded and followed him but Shingo just stood there.
She stopped when he wasn't following and turned around. "Shingo, come on."
He looked at her with those sad eyes and she went back to hug him. "It'll all be ok, Shingo. Everything will work out…… I promise……"
He hugged her back and smiled when they broke apart. "Now let's go." he nodded and followed her. *I'll protect you too Usagi. I won't let anything happen to you. Not like what happened to kaa-san and tou-san back there. I won't let that happened again.……….You're the only one I have left, Usagi and I don't want to loose you too….. I'll make sure that I won't either………*
Did you guys like it???!!!!!! I sure hoped so!!!!!!!!! Please review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks and bai bai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Don't worry, Shingo…… No matter what, I'll always protect you from anyone who is a threat to us…… I won't let your fate, nor mine, be like kaa-san's and tou-san's…… Trust me……" Shingo looked into her eyes and saw pain, anger, guilt, and most of all, determination…. He lowered his gaze, not knowing what to say…. Suddenly, Usagi heard running behind her and turned around, the other two later did what she did. She grit her teeth when she saw that it was Mamoru and the inner senshis. Dr. J noticed her reaction towards them and decided to help out. He figured now would be a good time to get going and then start her training.
"Follow me." was al Dr. J said and he walked into the alley. She nodded and followed him but Shingo just stood there.
She stopped when he wasn't following and turned around. "Shingo, come on."
He looked at her with those sad eyes and she went back to hug him. "It'll all be ok, Shingo. Everything will work out…… I promise……"
He hugged her back and smiled when they broke apart. "Now let's go." he nodded and followed her. *I'll protect you too Usagi. I won't let anything happen to you. Not like what happened to kaa-san and tou-san back there. I won't let that happened again.……….You're the only one I have left, Usagi and I don't want to loose you too….. I'll make sure that I won't either………*
