Phoenix: Konnichiwa! I have decided to rewrite this entire thing. There are a couple things that I want to fix and I now have a burning urge to complete this story entirely!

Serenity: It is about time Phoenix!

Aria: Actually… I'm disappointed… You are taking time away from the music in order to write this. Bad Phoenix…

Everyone: Huh?

Phoenix: Oh… um yeah.. this is Aria, my alter ego. She is the side of me that is a singer and artist. Sometimes I swear I could kill myself… Maybe then all these alter egos would stop popping up. I'm pretty sure the others will be arriving in the near future…

Aria: Whatever… As long as your still getting the music out, I'll be happy.

Phoenix: Okay so I do not own Sailor Moon.

From the journal of the Shadow Queen Miara:

Chapter 1: The start of it all.

The blonde girl groaned as she shifted on her bed. An arm was thrown over her head, attempting to block out the sun. Why did it have to be so early. It was summer time after all. She had managed to get by so that she wouldn't have to go to school. Grunting, she finally pushed herself on to her elbows. Glancing around the room, she immediately noticed that the usual black cat with the gold crescent mark on her forehead was gone. "Hm.. wonder where Luna is?" Pushing herself out of bed, she panted softly.

It was ridiculous. Just about every single one of their enemies had reappeared. In the 6 months they had finally finished off the last of them the night before. It had been torture on her body. The worst was in fact their first enemy. Beryl had outlasted just about all of them. Hopefully the summer would be quiet and peaceful.

Stretching, the girl rose up out of bed and moved to her mirror. Staring at herself, she saw the old look in her eyes. It was a shame just how much she had to keep from her friends. She had broken down a couple months ago and finally told her family her secret. They had supported her. It also helped that Pluto had agreed with her decision considering her condition. Dressing slowly, she headed downstairs to find her brother Sammy at the table eating. The kid had decided to go to a summer course at his school. He was already ready to go. Their father would be dropping him off. Almost instantly, her stomach growled as she eyed the stack of pancakes on the table. Settling next to him, she grinned. "Hey runt." "Hey Usagi. Gotta go now." He finished eating and jumped up. "Dad! You ready yet?" At that moment, Kenji came downstairs. "Alright, let's get you to school." Usagi smiled. "Bye Dad!" Kenji moved over and kissed the top of his daughter's head. "I'll be back in about 20 minutes." Usagi nodded.

At that moment, her mother entered. She held a plate of pancakes and a glass of orange juice. "Good morning honey. How'd you sleep?" Usagi sighed. "We finished off the last of them last night so hopefully I will be able to get some rest." Setting the plate before her daughter, Ikuko smiled in relief. "That's good. Hopefully you'll get to rest now." Usagi nodded as she dug in. "By the way, did you see Luna this morning?" "She headed out early and hasn't come back." Usagi frowned. Suddenly a thought occurred to her. "Mom, I noticed that the books were moved. Did you by chance move my medication?" "As a matter of fact I did. I noticed that Luna had been snooping around quite a bit lately and took them when she wasn't looking. Also, I had to check how many were left. You do remember you have an appointment today as well right?" Usagi froze. She had forgotten. Looking down, she bit her lip. "What time?" "We are supposed to go at 3 pm." "I'll make sure that I am ready." "Good now, I want you to take your time on that. When you're done, you can come help me with the dishes. Then your father and I have a present for you." Usagi blinked. That was right. Today was her birthday. She was 17 now. Great now any and all Princes that had been reborn on Earth would be coming after her. That was just wonderful. Life just seemed so complicated.

Usagi finished eating 10 minutes later and carried her plate into the kitchen. The two silently worked side by side for a short time. "Hey mom, why do you think that… well… you know." Ikuko sighed sadly before drying her hands and hugging Usagi. "I really don't know Usagi. I do know that you are strong and you won't let this beat you. You have never gone down without a fight and this will be the same." It was hard to say it but it was terminal. There was no changing what had happened. "Have you told any of your friends?" Usagi shook her head. "I mean what could I tell them? Besides, they said it's in remission right now. I don't want to worry them for nothing. I mean, it might never become active again right?" Ikuko took her daughter's hand. "You should tell them. Whether or not it is in remission, it is there. What about Mamoru?" Usagi shook her head, fighting back tears. Ikuko held her daughter close. "I don't want him to worry Mama." "You need to tell. I've been noticing in the last three years that your clumsiness has been getting worse. Becoming Sailor Moon might be causing it to act up again. Ms. Haruna has even been getting worried. Ever since Sailor Moon appeared, you've obviously have been having trouble." Usagi smiled. "You shouldn't worry Mama. Besides its probably because my body is going back to the way it was on the Moon Kingdom. When I started using magic, it must have returned to how it was then. The moon hardly has any gravity and Earth… well it has a lot more. That is probably the reason." Ikuko sighed. There was no swaying her daughter. Ever since they had said it was in remission, Usagi had begun to stop being careful.

At that moment, the door shut. "I'm home!" It was Kenji. Usagi frowned, suddenly feeling dizzy and lightheaded. The grip on the plate in her hand tightened. Her arm suddenly shot up and the plate shattered against the wall. Her mother paled. "Oh no!" Ikuko turned to watch her daughter fall to the ground, unconscious. "Kenji!" Ikuko kneeled, checking her daughter. "Usagi! Oh baby… please… Kenji!" At that moment, her husband ran in. "Iku.." Usagi was pale. Kenji instantly lifted his daughter. "Get her stuff. We have to go now. I'll meet you downstairs." Ikuko nodded and took off at a run. Kenji moved through the house and headed downstairs to the basement. Within seconds Pluto was there. Kenji was tense. "Is it?" Pluto moved forward and held her staff over Usagi for a moment before she went pale. "It's back. Hurry, we must go." At that moment Ikuko came in. "What about Shingo?" "I will leave him a note. We must hurry though." The adults nodded and entered a portal. Pluto swiftly wrote a note before putting it in Shingo's room. She then turned and left.

Shingo shifted uncomfortably. Something had happened that morning. He had felt it. He had a couple minutes left for class. His senses were surging and he knew the problem was urgent since his past self was practically yelling at him. He had been Usagi's younger brother in the Moon Kingdom. He had had a different father though so he hadn't been in line for the throne. As the teacher let them go, he hurried out of the school and headed home. Somehow he knew his dad wouldn't be picking him up. As he reached an alley, he darted in and allowed his power to wrap around him. In an instant, he was in silver armor. His blonde hair had turned white and his eyes had become purple. Leaping on top of a building, he made sure to stay low as he made his way home. It wouldn't be good to let the scouts know about him. He had promised Pluto.

As he reached the house, he entered through the backyard. It was quiet. Far too quiet to be normal. Pulling out a golden rose, he advanced through the house. His sword was at his side but he preferred using the golden rose. It was less chaotic. Finding the house empty, he frowned. Shrugging, he dropped his transformation and headed up to his room. He froze when he saw the note. Moving forward, he lifted it.

Damien,

It's back. To prevent knowledge reaching the scouts, doubles will be made for the time being. I have located the missing heir and asked her to pose for the time being. Be ready. You will be joining us here soon. A beacon will be sent out to a youma in a couple days time. You and your parents will be killed. You may call her Nanako in private. The scouts must not discover the truth. She will know when to tell them. We must prevent them knowing about the Moon's Darkness.

P

Shingo snorted. The moon's darkness. A silver flame suddenly appeared in his hand, incinerating the note. Turning, he glanced toward his bag. What did homework matter? He'd be gone in the next couple of days, dead to the world. Sighing, he flopped on the bed. Staring at the ceiling, he growled. 'The moon's darkness. Ha! It's more like a curse.' Closing his eyes, the prophecy slowly came to mind. He found himself whispering it out loud. "Like the dark Chaos will come and take a child. Until light, dark, and magic come together the galaxy will know suffering like no other. If Chaos takes light then we will forever be doomed. If Chaos takes dark then pain will ensue. If Chaos takes magic then all will be in vain. Should light, dark, and magic refuse to greet their souls, then all will be destroyed. Light to dark. Dark to light. Magic to immortal."
