Hour of Destiny
A Sailor Moon What if...
A Thousand Years Ago...

[Author's Note: This is a Serena you've never seen before, so don't flame me
about her and the other's personality cause it'll all be unusual. Oh and some
names or ideas I got from other fanfics. Kudos to them. ^_^]
Prologue: The Death of the Royal Family
"Waaaahh!" cried a young girl. She was terrified that her home
was being destroyed and didn't understand why. Every where around her,
columns fell and shattered on the floor. She heard a rumblin and looked up
as a column began to collapse on her. She stood frozen "Aaahhh!"
"Princess!" cried Queen Serenity who seemed to come from
nowhere. She scooped up Princess Serenity into her arms and effectively
dodged the column and the debris that came from it. The queen ran towards
the War Room, ironically the safest place in the palace. She knew her
husband would be there, waiting for her.
"Mommy! Wha-what's happening?" asked the frightened princess.
She instinctivly clutched on to her mother, her stronghold.
"We are being attacked honey. Our reinforcements from the other
planets never came so we are losing this battle," Serenity paused and looked
down at her frightened and only child with a comforting look, "Don't worry
honey, everything will work out okay? You just have to be strong, allright?"
The little child nodded. She always felt safe in her mother's arms and
had never been disappointed by her words. Princess Serenity just closed her
eyes hoping everything will be all right soon.
Queen Serenity finally reached the War Room to find the only other
survivor ofthe Royal Family. That was Serenity's husband, King William. She
smiled as he looked up, unbruised from any of the rumblings.
"Husband! What's the report?" asked Serenity as she bolted the
thick doors of the War Room. She gently put Princess Serenity down as she
looked up to her husband. She did not like the look on his face.
"Not good, I'm afraid. It seems that the Dark Kingdom is using
some sort of talisman we don't have. It's power almost equals the Sun Stone!
But I belive that the full force of the Sun Stone will be able to defeat this
nemesis," He suggested. He looked at the monitor and began raising the
shields to the War Room realizing it was being attacked from above. He sighed.
"We must go to plan B then. Where's Diane?" Serenity looked
around the room hoping Diane had not been killed by the sudden assault of
the palace.
"Right here, my Queen, with my daughter Luna as you instructed,"
replied a gray cat who emerged from a little hole in the floor. A small almost
newborn kitten blindly trailed behind. The only of her brother and sisters to
survive. Diane started nudging Luna towards the Queen.
"Good," said the King, "We must remove both the kitten and our
daughter's memories of the Moon Kingdom. Will good ole Naru help take of
them on Earth?" He looked at his wife with a hopeful look.
She nodded, "Yes love. She will gladly take care of them." Queen
Serenity crouched down to the five-year-old's height. The princess was as
confused as ever, not fully understanding what was going on. She just
stood there sniffling. Queen Serenity gently placed her hand on her
daughter's cheek. 'Oh heavens! This is going to be the hardest thing. . .'
Serenity looked away for a second, trying not to cry. She looked up to see
the same look on her husband's face. She knew she had to do it. Queen
Serenity sighed and looked into her daughter's lovely blue eyes. "Princess,
love, I want you to know that daddy and I will always love you and will
always watch over you, okay?"
Princess Serenity nodded. 'Why is momma saying such a thing?
Is she and daddy going to leave me? No! Of course not! They'd never do
such a thing. Momma's probably worried that's all,' thought the very
confused princess.
Queen Serenity smiled, "Close your eyes, honey. Good," She
too closed her eyes and placed both hands on her daughter's cheeks,
"Sleep now. Forget all that is of the Moon Kingdom. Forget who
you once was, but never forget who you are, a strong and able girl who
will grow up to do something wonderful! Remember us only when the time
has come for the people of the Moon to rise out of the ashes and become
prosperous once again!" A moonbeam came
from Serenity's crescent moon straight into the princess's own. Slowly,
Princess Serenity's crescent moon began to fade away and she fell asleep.
Diane did the same to her kitten Luna. Like the Queen, Diane
had a hard time making her only living child forget the very little she knows.
'Remeber, Luna. You will forever be special. . .'
King William opened the hidden exit. He walked to his wife and
embraced her tightly. "Go love, may you have a safe journey to Earth. I
will always love you Serenity. And when the time is right, I shall be at
your side when you need me the most."
Serenity began to cry lightly, and passionately kissed her
husband, knowing this was the last time she would ever see him, "Thank
you my King. I know I shall see you soon."
"I'll be waiting." King William gently held his sleeping daughter
one last time. 'I wish it didn't have to be this way. . .' He kissed her forehead
lightly. "You'll always be my special little princess, no matter where you are.
You'll never be alone," the King whispered.
Queen Serenity hugged her advisor, Diane, "Thank you Diane.
For your years of loyalty. I am so sorry to make you sacrifice your daughter."
Diane shook her head, "Don't be. Even though I won't be with her,
I know that she at least has the chance to survive. Thank you Queen, for giving
her that chance." With that said, Diane picked up the sleeping kitten in her mouth
and handed her over to Serenity.
Serenity then put the kitten in the princess' arms as she retrieved her
from her husband. She looked at her husband one last time before she, the princess
and the kitten ran into the secret corridor.
"Good luck my love. . ." the King whispered as he closed the door. Diane
jumped onto his shoulder and looked longingly through the doors, both parents
hoping that their children will live.
When Queen Serenity got outside, all she could see was devastation.
Guards everywhere slaughtered, statues fallen and shattered. All through her plight
to the small spacecraft, the area around her was bombard by small explosions from
the enemy above.
"Here it is," she sighed when she saw it. She frantically climbed in and
put the princess and kitten on one of the seats in the back. [AN: think the Star Trek
shuttlecrafts] Serenity stumbled to the pilot seat hoping that the space craft hadn't
taken any damage yet. The controls flared on. "Yes!" she whispered excitedly. Within
seconds she began leaving the Moon's atmosphere. She then programed the controls
to a secret flight path that would directly lead her into a safe landing area on Earth.
'So far so good!' she thought. That was untill she looked down at the Moon again.
Safe from the Dark Kingdom warriors but close enough to still see the palace, her
face paled at the scene unfolding in front of her. All the enemy air crafts targeted the
palace and in no more than half a minute the palace exploded.
"NOOO!!!! WILLIIIAAAM!!" Serenity cried pressing her hands against
the window. She slumped back into her chair, heartbroken, tears streaming down her
face. That's when she knew. "This is my destiny. . ." Serenity whispered. She turned
to look at her sleeping daughter. "I just pray, princess. That your destiny is far greater
than mine. Please forgive me." The silver haired queen closed her eyes, feeling her
soulmate slip away into the other world. . .'I shall see you soon, my king,' thought the
ruler of the moon as the space craft began to enter Earth's atmosphere.
