I wrote a bit of this story a while ago. It was in honour of the tenth planet official being dubbed Eris. For those who don't know, it was called Eris after the Greek goddess of chaos and discord because it caused a lot of problems among the international astronomical community when the question of its proper designation led to a meeting of the IAU in Prague. At the end of the conference, IAU members voted to demote Pluto and Eris to dwarf-planet status, leaving the solar system with technically only 8 planets. Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet because Pluto is smaller than Eris and Eris was declared a dwarf planet. (No, I'm not a nerd. I found this little bit of info on a site online and it will help my story if you know all this).
I don't own Sailor Moon but my character is 100 my own. For the purpose of my story I will be using songs of Evanescence, I do not claim ownership of any of their songs but they really suit my story and character. My character looks like Amy-Lee but has straight her that is pulled into a pony tail with bangs.
I am not a good person. I lie, I deceive…and I destroy. I am the forgotten one, the dark solider…my name is Satine…and this is my story.

Satine walked through the park listening to the sounds of the world around her.
"If those blasted birds don't stop chirping I think I'm going to scream." She said as she covered her ears to try and block out the sound.
She had not been having a good day. In fact, she had not been having a good lifetime. Satine's father died when she was six and was left to be raised by her mother, which was not a good thing. Her mother neglected and abused her. At the age of 14 she ran away and had been on her own ever since. She was now 19 and was struggling to make ends meat. She was just fired from her job and her landlord kept reminding her that her rent was overdue.
"Now I have to find another job! I was late just once and that bastard fired me!"
Satine sighed as she sat down on a park bench. Nearby a few little girls were arguing. Satine glanced over at them and listened in on their argument.
"No I want to be Sailor Moon!" Cried the tallest of the group.
"You're too tall. Besides, my hair is more like hers, see!" The littlest girl pointed to her meatball pigtails.
"But your hair is black. Sailor Moon has blonde hair like mine." Said another.
The girls continued to argue. Satine rolled her eyes.
"Everyone wants to be like Sailor Moon. What the hell is so great about her?"
"I agree." A dark voice said.
"Who's there? Who said that?" Satine glanced around for the source of the voice but saw nothing.
A raven flew down and landed at her feet. "I did."
"I must be going insane." Satine said as she rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
"Trust me child. You are not going insane. I am here to help you."
Satine looked around to see if anyone else had noticed the talking raven but when she looked up it looked like time had frozen.
"What's going on?" Satine was starting to freak out.
"No need to worry. I simply wish to help you get what should be yours."
"What are you talking about?"
A crystal ball appeared in front of Satine and floated down into her hands. Before she could ask about it the image of Sailor Moon appeared in the orb.
"Sailor Moon?" Satine asked in confusion.
"Yes. The beautiful blonde heroine who loves all and is loved by all."
Satine sneered as the raven said this. The raven could see the jealousy in her eyes.
"She is the reincarnation of the Moon Princess, Princess Serenity." The image of Sailor Moon turned into Princess Serenity.
"Why are you showing me this? What has this to do with me?" Satine asked
As the raven explained to Satine, images appeared of what it was explaining appeared. "A thousand years ago the Moon Kingdom ruled this Solar System. The princesses of their birth planets were chosen guardians and protectors of the princess and this universe. You were one of them."
"How can that be? There is a Sailor Scout for each planet."
"There is one more. The forgotten planet. The planet that was discarded by the Queen because it was the planet of darkness, Planet Eris, the Tenth Planet."
"What are you saying? That I'm the reincarnation of that planets princess." After Satine asked this the orb floating in her hands disappeared and a transformation wand appeared in front of her.
"Yes, you are Sailor Eris. And with my help, you shall rule instead of Serenity."
Satine reached out to grab the wand but hesitated.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to rule the universe?" The raven asked.
Satine didn't know what to do. This was so unbelievable that she was having trouble processing everything. Something in the back of her mind was telling her to stop. She knew that she wasn't an angel but she knew what was right and what was wrong.
"This seems wrong." Satine whispered. The raven looked concerned though Satine didn't realise.
"Why should you live in the darkness while they rule in the light?" A black crystal then appeared above the transformation wand and descended down towards it. When the crystal came into contact with the wand, both the wand and the crystal transformed into a black locket.
"Take the Dark Locket. It is your destiny." The raven's eyes began to flash red. Satine's eye also started to flash red as she reached out and grabbed hold of the locket.
In swirl of what looked like black smoke, Satine's clothes transformed into a Sailor Suit. Long white gloves with black ends appear. Black heel with leather straps that wrapped around her legs up to her knees. A white body suit with black skirt and bow with her black locket on the front with the mark of Eris on the front. Silver earrings in the sharp of tiny daggers appeared on her ears. A silver tiara appeared on her forehead with a black crystal in the middle. Lastly, she held out her hand and a black apple appeared.
When her transformation was complete Satine looked up at the raven with empty sorrow in her eyes.
"I remember now. They all forgot me. I protected there kingdom and they betrayed me. Cast me aside as if I was nothing…but I'll show them. I will destroy them one by one."
The raven turned into a dark spirit and disappeared into Satine's locket. Satine's blue eyes turned black and cold. She spoke again but it was the raven's voice that came out.
"Chaos shall rule."

One Month Later
Serena was running as fast as she could.
"I am sooooooo late. Rei is going to kill me!"
It had been three years since the battle with Sailor Galaxia and it had been peaceful since. All the girls except for Mina had started college. Mina was following her dream of becoming a singer. Ami was studying medicine, Lita was studying cooking, Rei was studying business and Serena was studying politic and world affairs but not by choice. Luna had thought it would be a good thing for Serena to study to prepare her for her role as queen.
Since all the girls were quite busy they organised to always meet up at a chosen place every Friday afternoon. It was usually just the inner scouts though the outer scouts did manage to come every couple of weeks. Unfortunately Serena's old habits never fully disappeared and she always managed to run late for one reason or another. This week it was because she was with Darien, working out some details for their wedding. The wedding was in six months.
Today everyone was meeting for a picnic at the park. Serena flew through the park, ran round a tree and slammed straight into someone.
"Ow!" Serena groaned as she lay flat on her back.
"Are you OK?" A voice asked.
Serena opened her eyes to see a pair of cold black eyes looking down at her.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Serena said as she got up.
"Sorry for running into you." Serena apologised to the girl. The girl she had run into just shrugged.
"It happens."
Strange girl. Serena thought to herself. "I'm Serena, by the way." She said as she held out her hand.
The girl looked down at her hand but didn't take it. "Satine." She replied and walked off.
"Well there's no need to be rude!" Serena shouted out to Satine but she didn't think Satine heard her. Serena then remembered that she was running late and set off running again.
"YOU'RE LATE!" Rei shouted as Serena sat down.
"I know."
"Chill out Rei." Lita said.
"Yes, let's just enjoy this afternoon." Michelle said with a smile.
Unbeknownst to the Scouts they were being watched. In a tree close by Sailor Eris watched as her fellow Soldiers laughed and enjoyed each others company.
"I shall turn them all against you. I will take what should be mine."
Eris turned her attention to the smallest of the group…Hotaru. She was smiling brightly at Serena.
"The other dark scout will be the first." Eris said with a smirk. She held up her Apple of Chaos.
"Eris Shadow Deception." As Eris whispered these words she blew on her apple. A wisp of black smoke blew off her apple and trailed down towards the girls. None of the girls noticed the wisp of smoke. Hotaru took a breath and inhaled the smoke.
"-cough-cough-cough!" Hotaru started to cough.
"Are you alright Hotaru?" Amara asked.
Hotaru stopped coughing. "Yes, I think so. I must have breathed in a little dust."
Everyone's attention was turned away from Hotaru when they heard screaming coming from close by.
"What's going on?" Mina asked someone who ran by.
"A shadow is attacking people." The man said as they kept running.
All the Scouts looked at one another.
"Looks like our time of peace has come to an end." Trista said.
"Venus Crystal Power!"
"Mercury Crystal Power!"
"Mars Crystal Power!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power!"
"Neptune Crystal Power!"
"Uranus Crystal Power!"
"Saturn Crystal Power!"
"Pluto Crystal Power!"
"Moon Eternal Make Up!"
The Scouts ran in the direction of which the man came from. There they saw a shadow that looked much like the Seven Shadow Warriors of Queen Beryl.
"Could it be?" Venus asked in shock.
"No. It's not possible." Pluto assured her.
The Shadow noticed the Scouts and attacked.
"It's so fast." Uranus said as she just managed to jump out of the way.
"I'll slow it down." Jupiter said.
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Jupiter's attack went straight through the Shadow.
"What the?" Jupiter asked in confusion.
"It went straight through!" Sailor Moon said in a slightly panicked voice.
The Scouts all kept attacking but everything went straight through the Shadow, even their punches. But the Shadow was still able to hit them.
"How are we supposed to stop something that we can't hit but can hit us?" Mars asked as she staggered to get back up. The Shadow hit Mars and Mercury, who was standing next to her, and sent them flying into a tree. After they hit the tree they didn't get back up.
"Mars! Mercury!" Sailor Moon screamed.
The Shadow turned its attention to Sailor Moon.
"Everyone! Protect Sailor Moon!" Venus yelled.
Everyone tried but it wasn't long before they were all knock unconscious. Only Saturn and Sailor Moon were left standing.
"I don't know how much more I can take Princess. I'm sorry." Saturn said in a weak voice.
"But you have to protect me. That's your duty." Sailor Moon said.
Saturn couldn't believe what she had just heard. It wasn't like her. Did her Princess just tell her she had to protect her? The Shadow again attacked. Sailor Moon pushed Saturn in the way of the attack.
As Saturn lay on the ground she looked up at her Princess. "Why Princess?"
"You have to protect me. If you don't, Rini will never be born and you won't ever have a friend." Sailor Moon said.
Saturn's eyes widened. She knew that this time she had heard correctly but passed out before she could respond.
>> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
"Hotaru? Hotaru?"
Hotaru could hear someone calling her name. She slowly opened her eyes. The sun was so bright she could only see the outline of someone leaning over her. She sat up.
"Are you OK, Hotaru?"
Hotaru's eyes adjusted to see everyone standing around her. She then remembered the Shadow.
"Where is it!? Did you stop the Shadow?" She asked in a panic.
"Shadow? What are you talking about?" Rei asked.
Ami, who was kneeling beside Hotaru, felt her forehead.
"Well, you don't have a temperature. Are you feeling alright Hotaru?" Ami asked gently.
"I think so." Hotaru was completely confused. "What happened to me?"
"Well, you just all of a sudden passed out. We don't know why." Mina said.
"Do you remember anything Hotaru?" Serena asked as she knelt beside her. Hotaru looked at Serena in confusion and drew back from her. Everyone noticed Hotaru's reaction and was bewildered by it. Hotaru was always so affectionate towards Serena.
Hotaru just looked away from Serena and shook her head.
"Maybe we should take you home, Hotaru, and let you get some rest." Michelle said.
Hotaru quickly scrambled to her feet and rushed to Michelle's side. The three outer Scouts all looked at each other, baffled by Hotaru's behaviour.
"We'll see you guys later." Amara said as they waved goodbye.
"I wonder what's wrong with Hotaru." Rei said, very concerned.
"Yeah, we she saw Serena she looked a little confused. She looked like she was going to cry." Lita pointed out.
"What did I do?" Serena asked sadly. She was so concerned. She couldn't figure out why Hotaru acted that way.
"Don't worry Serena. Hotaru might have just been a bit frightened after passing out. She'll be fine." Ami reassured her.
"Yeah, Ami's right. How about tomorrow we go round to their place and see Hotaru. I'm sure she'll be back to normal by then." Mina said as she put a reassuring arm around Serena.
"I hope so."
