Hello all! Please, I beg you; do not kill me for this! I know I have other stories out there that I am working on, and I promise all of my faithful readers I have not forgotten them, and I will continue to update those as a top priority (especially now since I have hardly anything to do). But I figured now was a better time than any to start a crossover such as this!
Disclaimer: Sailor Moon is property of Naoko Takeuchi, and Star Trek: 2009 is property of J.J. Abrams/Bad Robot and all those lovely people who wrote and created this fabulous movie!
Author's Note: This will not follow the movie exactly, but it will be set in that time, and it will probably contain some scenes.
Summary: This takes place during the Star Trek movie, and after Usagi has become Sailor Cosmos. The time continuum has been interrupted, and an alternate reality has been set into place. Fearing the destruction of the universe, and Chaos ensuing, Cosmos travels back in time to the point of interruption, in hopes of bringing balance and peace to those directly affected. Can she keep her wits about her as she fights for the balance of time? Or will she fall prey to this technological universe she never knew existed?
Find out as the story turns in…….
Illogical Choices
Prologue
Space. The final frontier.
Since the invasion of Nero, the future has changed. His presence remains unnoticed to all, say for one. She is the balance of the universe; the warrior of the past, present, and future.
She was once High Queen of the Earth, known as Neo-Queen Serenity. She rose to the throne in the beginning of the 21st century. She took her place in Destiny's plans, but her future was not one she anticipated.
Not too long after taking the throne, they were once again attacked by the evil entity known as Chaos. The demon possessed yet another body of a Sailor Senshi whose planet was riddle in disaster. When all hope appeared to be lost, the Queen inherited the power of the planets…of her Senshi. In the form of Cosmos, she defeated Chaos' physical being once more.
Although the physical body was destroyed, the demon can never be defeated. It is the way of the gods that light can never exist without darkness, and so Chaos can never truly be defeated.
Knowing this Cosmos made it her mission to travel the universe and contain the entity. Keeping the planets and stars at peace within the galaxy would keep Chaos at bay. However, her work was interrupted.
When Nero interfered with the flow of time, he in turn created an alternate reality. Not only this, but he threatened to disturb the peace that had long been kept by the Cosmic Warrior.
Feeling the disruption in the time continuum, Cosmos knew that it was her duty to find and destroy this man before too many changes were made in the future. So, she traveled back in time not only to face Nero, but to see that those directly affected by him were not changed as drastically as anticipated.
Using the wisdom of Mercury and the senses of Mars, Cosmos already knew that Nero had attacked and killed a man by the name of George Kirk. A better place than any to start would be to protect his son from his father's fate……
Chapter 1: Star-Fleet Academy
Star Date 2248.12
Her name was Serena. She had been attending the Academy for three years. She had entered as a student in order to keep watch of James Kirk, and the events of Nero's invasion.
When she first arrived to this world, she was amazed by the advanced technology that riddled it. Great accomplishments had been made since her days as Queen, and even though she was brought to the past, it felt more like a futuristic era.
She couldn't get over the fact that she had never heard of Star-Fleet. Of the many years of traveling space, she never once came into contact with them, but that was mainly due to her need to stay hidden.
Even though she had stepped out to rejoin the world of the living, she still remained on the sidelines. She was very quiet, and very shy, exceedingly unlike herself when she once attended school. She paid attention in her classes, and got exceptionally high marks in just about every subject she entered.
Currently, she was sitting in her Linguistics class listening to a lecture dealing with the similarities between the Vulcan and Romulan language, and how one could be easily mistaken for the other. This class was on the top of Serena's list as far as grade wise, but it never ceased to bore her. Having traveled all over space for so many years, she knew most of what was being taught in this class. In fact, she was confident she knew more than her professor.
His name was Spock, or Mr. Spock as many called him. He was of Vulcan decent, which in turn made his lectures extremely boring. His constant need to be articulate and logical completely voided any emotion from ever entering his voice. He was a very intelligent man, and very mysterious, but Serena could not focus on these aspects while she sat under him as a student.
Soon though the class was over, and Serena made her way to the door.
"Miss Moon." Serena turned to face her professor.
"Once again, I must congratulate you on the success of your exam. Yet again, you have amazed me by your ability understand these alien languages."
"Thank you Mr. Spock. It is truly an honor to receive your praise." Serena replied; her voice just as void of emotion as the man in front of her. Spock nodded to her once, and Serena left the room without any other conversation.
She made her way outside, and took in the air. She really had missed Earth, more than she could realize. She walked until she found a place in solitude and sat down on the grass. She was done with classes for today, but she decided to get a little studying in for her classes tomorrow.
Serena looked up and noticed Kirk was outside as well. Since arriving here, she has always kept a watchful eye on the boy. Even by simply watching, she learned much of his personality.
He was arrogant and pig headed, but he was also very confused about who he was. He was quite the charmer and womanizer, but his strength and mind were ever present. He was destined for many things. He was a leader, and Serena knew that if anything, she had to make sure he found his destiny.
As she continued to stare at him, his eyes fell on her. He gave her a quick wink, and Serena blushed at being caught.
Kirk quickly ran over to where the girl was sitting, and sat down next to her. He took a look at the books she had spread out and said, "Herbology, awesome class." The sarcasm dripped from his voice.
He looked back at the girl, and studied her features, but Serena did not have the courage to look the boy in the face.
"Why have I never seen you around before?" He asked. "A pretty lady such as yourself should always be noticed."
While Serena blushed at his flattery, she did not bite the bate that he was feeding her. "The reason you probably never see me is because I prefer to go unnoticed."
"Ah, that's no fun. How are you supposed to make friends, or hell meet a boyfriend, going unnoticed?"
Serena looked up at the boy. "You mistake that my intentions are to do such things, but my purpose here is to learn and be a part of the Star-Fleet movement, not to create acquaintances with anyone."
Kirk gave her a weird look before he asked her hesitantly, "Are you a Vulcan?"
Serena immediately burst into a fit of giggles as the image of Spock appeared in her mind. Kirk smiled at the reaction he had drawn from the girl.
"If you pay attention in class," Serena continued after her laughter subsided, "you would know that I do not possess the physical features of a Vulcan."
Kirk gave her a fast smile before he stuck out his hand. "My name is James Kirk, but you can call me Jim."
Serena grasped his hand. "I'm Serena Moon."
"Beautiful."
"Jim!" A man came running towards them. Serena knew it was Leonard McCoy only because he was always hanging around Kirk.
"Ah, he always comes at the perfect time." Kirk mumbled before he smiled at his friend. "What's up?"
"They've just called a meeting for all of the students. We've got to go."
"Is there something wrong?" Serena questioned.
"Don't know."
The three of them made their way towards the meeting. Sure enough, when they entered the building, it was crowded with students. Spock was standing at the center in front of everyone, and Serena wondered if this was the time that Nero shows his head.
Once everyone was settled, Spock began.
"First off, I would like everyone to know that there is nothing wrong."
Looking around the room, you could see the looks of worry replaced by looks of curiosity.
"The reason we have gathered today is we are going to be testing a new form of education. We are going to be taking a select number of students up in space to examine some of the planets and moons in our solar system. Strictly our solar system though. The purpose for this is to show how a ship really operates. I know we have used simulators in the past, and we will continue to use them, but it is the feeling of the faculty and the counsel to actually take you out into space."
Everyone began to get excited at the idea of going on an actual ship to explore.
Spock continued. "Now, the students selected must be at the top of their class, and they must be in third year."
Many faces were let down by this announcement, but Spock continued.
"Perhaps this will give more incentive to you to work harder on your studies." Serena could swear she saw a slight smirk on the Vulcan's face, but she knew she had to be imagining things.
"The students selected for this study are: Uhura, Nyota; McCoy, Leonard; Nichols, Elijah; Kirk, James; Moon, Serena. Everyone is dismissed, except for those called."
All the students began to file out of the room, and the five selected remained behind. Kirk quickly made his way to the front and stood to face Spock.
"Didn't know you liked me that much there bud."
"That's Commander Spock to you now, and it wasn't my decision. You can thank Captain Pike for that."
"Ah, you didn't have the slightest bit of confidence in me?"
Spock only looked at him. Kirk shrugged and went to speak with Captain Pike.
The rest of the students came down as well and stood in front of now Commander Spock.
"I would like to congratulate you all on being selected."
"Thank you, Commander, it is really an honor. Will you be joining us?" Uhura asked.
"Yes, along with Captain Pike, and a few others. We will be aboard a small ship, but it should be educational all the same."
Serena stood at the back, away from everyone. She was grateful that she had been selected simply because Kirk was going on this trip as well. Perhaps things would unfold very soon. She was also extremely curious as to where they would travel. If it was in their solar system, then they would be traveling to the planets of her Senshi. She wondered absentmindedly if she would feel their presence.
"Commander Spock." Serena said, the curiosity eating at her. "Which planets will we actually visit?"
Spock looked at the girl for a moment; he couldn't deny that she had interested him ever since she had step foot into the Academy. She was brilliant, and always seemed to be beyond the level of all the students here. She was human, at least that was his guess, but she was hiding something. Her eyes showed so much feeling, but her face never expressed it. It was as if she was afraid of feeling…much like himself.
"We will be traveling to Mars, Saturn, and the Earth's Moon."
Serena's eyes widened a bit at the last destination. She had not been to the Moon since she last restored it after becoming Queen. Before Serena could reply, Kirk came back over to the group and put his arm around Uhura.
"So, your first name is Nyota. Very lovely."
"Thank you, but know it was not by my choosing that you learned my first name."
"That's alright, as long as I know it now."
"We leave tomorrow." Spock stated. "Get back to your rooms, and prepare. We should not be gone for more than a month, so plan on that. You are dismissed."
They all went their separate ways as they turned away. Serena took one more glance at Spock before she left the room. She did not miss the way he looked at her, and she wondered, with a Vulcan around her constantly, how long she would be able to keep her secret.
There is the first chapter!!! Again, don't kill me for starting another story. I really wanted to…so sue me! Elijah Nichols is my own character; he is not a part of the movie. I do hope that everyone enjoyed it, and don't forget to PLEASE REVIEW and let me know what you think!
