This story I had started originally on Facebook but I have now decided to rewrite the story here.
This story is more of a prologue to a story I shall write later though. Emily was the first OC I had ever put a lot of heart and soul into creating, so I really want her story to live on here.
Here is the summary.
Emily is a 16-year-old girl by day and the super hero Sailor Venus by night. Neo Queen Serenity the ruler of Crystal Tokyo believed that the dark times that had plagued her and her friends, the original Sailor Guardians, were over. But when she and her friends had decided to settle down and start families of their own. Only once their children were born dark forces in form of the of the Dark Nebula began to rise and attack the children of the Sailor Guardians. Because of this Emily and her friends have been fighting for their lives since the day they were born. See how this new team of heroines handles daily problems such as school, boys, jobs and family while also living double lives as super heroes.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon only my OCs.
Curse of Venus
"Sssstop ssssquirming human.I sssswear thisssss won't hurt…. much." The big cobra-like monster told me as I was trapped in its coils. Oh hi I bet you're wondering just who I am and how exactly I got into this mess.
First off my name is Aino Emily. I am a 16-year-old girl who just happens to be the daughter of Aino Minako though my mom prefers to go by Mina for short. Mom is a famous singer and well this is supposed to be a secret but mom was also a Sailor Guardian, the champion of love and beauty Sailor Venus. But don't tell anyone I told you that okay friend?
Now onto my situation with senor cobra there. Well how do I put this? I myself, like my mother am also a Sailor Guardian, Neo Sailor Venus. Though just call me Sailor V. Anyway senor cobra was sent to eliminate me and my friends the other Sailor Guardians. He is a creature of darkness from the kingdom called the Dark Nebula.
The Dark Nebula according to Artemis and Luna has existed for centuries, they said the Dark Nebula may be even older than any of the other incarnations of Chaos. If the Dark Nebula even is an incarnation of Chaos. When my mother was younger she faced threats known as the Dark Kingdom, the Black Moon clan, Dead Moon Circus, and finally the Shadow Galactica. Rini's mother, Serena learned the truth when battling Galaxia that all the enemies they had faced were just incarnations of Chaos.
When Eternal Sailor Moon had defeated Chaos we assumed the days of fighting were over for good. So Serena took her place as the Queen of Crystal Tokyo. As Neo Queen Serenity she brought in an era of peace and tranquillity. She and King Darien then had a child, Princess Rini whom was now Sailor Moon. Once they had a child, the other Sailor Guardians also decided to settled down and had families of their own. And that was when the Dark Nebula decided to attack us. The Dark Nebula saw us, the new generation, as a threat.
Which brings us back to the situation at hand. See I was minding my own business and headed home to get ready for my date tonight, when senor cobra decided to start terrorising people while looking for me and my friends. I transformed into Sailor V and one thing led to another, now I'm trapped in this monster's coils. Trying to wriggle one of my arms free so I could attack, free myself, and not end up snake chow.
"You know snaky there are these things called breath mints! You should look into getting some." I tell the snake as I struggle even more so.
"How can one assss beautiful assss yoursssself be sssso sssstubborn?" The snake questioned flicking his forked tongue on my cheek. Yuck! Now I was going to have to disinfect my face when I got home! At least the tongue wasn't poisonous. With the green skull and crossbones pattern he was sporting on his black hide, one would surely think just touching him would kill you. "You know it issss sssssuch a sssshame to have to kill one asssss lovely assss you."
"If I had a dime for every time I heard that line I could buy my own Yacht." I tell senor cobra before trying to spit into one of his red eyes. Unfortunately, I missed.
"Tsssk, tsssk. Sssssuch a naughty girl. Perhapssss I ssssshould punisssh you" The snake then leaned in as if to… you know what I don't want to know what he was going to do to me I just wished he would kill me already.
As I was preparing for the worst, all of a sudden out of nowhere a fireball hit senor cobra in the head.
"Gah! Who did that?!" The snake now exclaimed in anger.
"We did!" A very familiar voice shouted back. As senor cobra and I looked up, I saw four faces that I was truly delighted to see. Leading in the pink and red sailor suit with a pink bun hairstyle and ruby red eyes was our princess, Rini. Also known as Sailor Moon. Next to her in the red sailor suit, sporting crystal ball earrings, reddish auburn hair, and mystical purple eyes was Evelyn. Or Sailor Mars. On the other side of Rini was Jasmine or Sailor Mercury. She was in the blue sailor suit, and had light sky blue hair, cerulean blue eyes and a pretty blue flower clip that was ever present in her hair. And finally was Kara in the green sailor suit. Sailor Jupiter. She had short shoulder length brown hair that was held back with a green headband with fake gold beads on it. And she also had lovely emerald green eyes. These were my friends.
"Release Sailor V now! I am the Pretty Guardian that fights for Love and Justice! I am Sailor Moon! And in the name of the Moon I shall punish you!" Rini cries out giving her signature pose.
"I am the Pretty Guardian that fights for Love and for Passion! I am Sailor Mars! In the name of Mars, I'll incinerate you!" Evelyn exclaims while also doing a pose.
"I am the Pretty Guardian who fights for Love and Intelligence! I am Sailor Mercrury! In the name of Mercury, I'll dose you!" Jasmine then said, yes I know this is tedious but hey the monsters let us do all this before they attack. So why not?
"I am the Pretty Guardian who fights for Love and Courage! I am Sailor Jupiter! In the name of Jupiter, I'll electrocute you!" Kara says finally.
"About time you all showed up! What took so long?! I was about to be snake chow here!" I shout at my friends rather annoyed that I had almost become this snake's dinner or worse…it's play thing.
"Uh sorry about that Em took a while to determine your location." Rini explained.
"The monster was sort of blocking your communicator's signal." Jasmine then told me and I groaned. Great not only was it poisonous but could also block radio signals somehow.
"Yes well, could someone free me now?" I asked.
"Hey! Did you girlssss forget about me?!" The monster snake then exclaimed sounding a little offended that we had been ignoring him.
"Nope now as Rini said let Emily go! Jupiter Lighting Crash!" Kara shouted as bolts of lightning hit senor cobra as well as around him, thankfully not hitting me.
"Ahh!" The snake cried out in pain and loosened his coils around me. I slipped out and kicked the snake in the head. "Gah!" The snake was knocked back a few feet from my kick. Remember kids do not try this at home, kicking a giant poisonous snake in the head is NOT safe. I am a trained Sailor Guardian, you most likely are not. "You Sailor Guardians will pay for this!"
Senor cobra the starting spitting acid us. Jasmine jumped out the way before the acid hit her and it melted the sidewalk. Yeah do not want to be hit by that. We circle the snake and plan an attack.
"Venus Love Chain encircle!" The golden chain of hearts I had around my waist was then thrown at senor cobra and he was tied up. "Okay I got him do your thing girls!"
"Mars Fire Ignite!"
"Jupiter Flower hurricane!"
"Mercury bubbles blast!"
"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!"
As all the attacks combined and hit the snake he screamed in agony and turned to dust. I pulled my chain back and wrapped it around my waist again.
"Nice job girls." Diana commented. Diana was our cat guardian she was a grey coloured cat with a red ribbon that had a bell on it. Of course she also had a crescent shaped mark on her forehead like her parents, Artemis and Luna.
"Thanks Diana, but Em could you stop looking for trouble?" Rini then said going over to pick Diana up.
"Hey! I have told you a million times, I do not look for trouble! Trouble just happens to find me" I tell them. As if I would go looking for monsters to kill me on purpose.
"Yeah Emily is like a trouble magnet." Kara then giggled.
"Shut up Kara." I grumble, yes more often than not I end up getting into the more dangerous situations. Such as the time I was almost decapitated by a scythe wielding maniac, or the time I had to go to the hospital because of the blood loss I had suffered from a cowboy-like monster. Then of course there was the one I would never forget which was when I had turned seven years old. But that's a story for another time.
"Still you could try calling us sooner." Evelyn then suggested.
"There was no time he was terrorising civilians, I had to do something" I told them before glancing at my watch. "Ah! It's already that late?! Oh no I'm late for my date with Mark!"
"Don't panic if you run you could probably still make it to the cafe in time to catch him." Jasmine tells me.
"Hope you're right Jazz catch you later girls!" I tell them as I take off running.
I run as fast as I can, taking the quickest path to the café. Oh please let Mark still be there. Please oh please tell me my curse hasn't ruined everything again. Yes, friend I am cursed. No I do not mean being a Sailor Guardian, while it can feel like it at times that is not what I am referring to.
I'm talking about the curse that Ace put on my mother years ago when she was thirteen years old.
"As a final act, I will tell your love fortune. Your love… will never be granted, for all eternity…"
With his final breath that is what Ace told my mother. While these may just seem like mere words they were far more. His words were in fact a curse. He told my mother this because back then she was having trouble deciding between love or her duty but when the era of peace began, Mom knew it was safe to love. Though my mother had a hard time keeping a boyfriend. Every time she thought she might have finally found a man to have a family with. Something always caused them to break up with her.
My father came as a result of well… Mom was in her twenties and she was getting desperate so she tried online dating and met my dad. Charles Green was a business man from the United States of America. He had no time to date because of his job so he thought online dating would be his best chance at finding love. For a while it was going great for mom and dad they messaged each other daily and when dad had come to Tokyo for a business meeting. That's when he and my mother finally met in person and they spent the night together in a hotel. Bing bang boom nine months later I came into the world.
When mom found out she was pregnant with me she traveled all the way to America to tell my father and get married only problem was… Dad didn't want to get married. While he was looking for love but he knew that it would be impossible for him to spend time with a family. While…well I got this information from mom, she said dad looked happy yet horrified when he found out my mother was pregnant with his child. I try and not let it get me down I can imagine he was just shocked when he got the news. I only see him a couple of times a year.
Being my mother's daughter I inherited the curse. I have had a total of four boyfriends. One we had agreed upon a breakup since it was going nowhere the other two broke up with me partly because of the curse, partly because of my Sailor Guardian duties. Then we have my current one, Mark. So far my curse had yet to affect Mark but hey this could be the tipping point. This wasn't the first time I was late after all.
Not only that I have yet to have a true love's first kiss. Now this is only a theory that this will break the curse since well… okay yes I'm going off something that only works in the movies and fairytales! But I will not lose hope that this curse can be broken.
I finally reached the café, I was sweaty and out of breath but I had made it. I saw Mark at a table and… he didn't look happy.
"Hey Mark" I said nervously. "Sorry I'm late I-I lost track of time when I was getting ready and…"
"Save it Emily. I have had it up to HERE with your excuses!" Mark said angrily to me. I couldn't blame him too much. I mean I wouldn't like it if the person I was dating was late all the time either. Didn't help that he didn't know that I was Sailor V. Our identities were a secret to everyone but our enemies it seemed. Serena did this for us so we could try and live normal lives. So much for that plan.
"Mark please I-I can explain" I plead.
"No I don't want to hear any more of your excuses." Mark said now standing up. "You say you were getting ready yet you are still in your school uniform. You have no make-up on, you're sweaty and your hair is a mess. Emily either you tell me the truth or we're through."
I just hang my head. I can't tell him the truth the Sailor Guardians are supposed to be a secret. "… I can't."
"Fine. Goodbye Emily." Mark said before leaving the café.
I left the café after Mark because I couldn't stand all the staring and whispering that was going on after Mark had broken up with me. I walked all the way home holding in my tears. I was warrior, I battled monsters and aliens all my life. Yet one single boy could cause me to feel more pain than any injury.
As I approached the big fancy house I called home. I saw another one of my worst enemies. Paparazzi.
"There she is! Emily! Emily!" One woman shouted. Crap.
"What's it like having a famous popstar for a mother?" A man asked.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Another woman asked.
"What's the status on your mother's love life?!" Asked another person all the while photographers were taking pictures of me.
"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" I snapped tears finally flowing free as I made a run for the house pushing people out of the be they reporters or photographers. I didn't care I just wanted this day to be over already. I slammed the door when I had made it to the house.
I slumped against the door and let myself slide to the floor as I cried. Everyone must have gone home for the day because my cries echoed through the big empty house. Mom wasn't home either I knew she had a show tonight. Though I wasn't alone when I felt something fuzzy nudge my hand.
"I take it you had a rough day Little Venus." A familiar male voice said as he rubbed against my legs.
I sniffle and look up to see a white cat with blue eyes and a crescent moon mark on his head. "I-I thought you went with mom"
"I did but your mother didn't want you to be all alone tonight." Artemis said. "Come on Little Venus tell me what's wrong."
I then explain everything that had happened today to Artemis. As I was telling my story I realized that those media people were going to be writing and reporting all kinds of gossip now. Nice going Emily way to embarrass yourself and mom.
"I'm sorry all that happened to you today Little Venus." Artemis said using his tail to wipe my tears away. "But everything will be okay trust me"
"I know it will Artemis… but it still hurts." I tell him "By the way what do you mean alone tonight? Isn't mom coming home at midnight?"
"Mina informed that she'd probably just stay at a hotel tonight. Something about having to go to a photo shoot first thing tomorrow morning." Artemis then explained.
"…Oh. I see…" I say with a sad sigh.
"Hey now don't be sad. Your mother is sorry she won't be around tonight or tomorrow morning. You know she loves you…she's just busy is all."
"I understand Artemis… It's not like I'm not used to it." I got up and started heading toward the staircase. "I'm just going to go to bed Artemis"
"You're not going to eat?" Artemis asked in a concerned voice.
"I'm not hungry" I told him as I walked up the stairs to my bedroom and laid down on my bed. Artemis joined me not to long after and snuggled up beside me this made me feel a little better and I fell right to sleep.
I went to school the next day on an empty stomach and my body was now protesting about it. But I had not felt like eating this morning, as I had told a certain nagging white fur ball.
"Emily! How did your date go?" Jasmine asked as she and the other girls came up to my locker.
"You didn't see the news or the internet this morning?" I asked them.
"Uh well…" Jasmine said not certain how to reply.
"We want to hear what happened from you." Evelyn explained
"Yeah I know firsthand how paparazzi exaggerate details. I mean you? A nervous breakdown?" Rini then said. As the Princess she too was mobbed by the media even more so than I was.
"Actually that would be somewhat accurate…" I tell them with a sigh. "Mark broke up with me. Then the media was buzzing around my house when I came home." I tell them quietly.
"Well that is just crappy timing on their part. They deserved whatever you did to them." Kara then said.
"Maybe but still I embarrassed my mom" I tell the four of them.
"Oh come on she won't care about this. All she'll care about is if you're okay or not." Rini said putting a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"I got it! Why don't we have a sleepover tonight at the temple?" Evelyn then asks. "I was gonna go out with Nester tonight but one of my best friends is hurting and is in need of some serious girl time!"
"That sounds like a great idea! What do you think Em?" Jasmine asked looking at me with a hopeful expression.
"I don't know…" I replied then Kara added her two cents.
"Nu-uh if you refuse you force us to take action and kidnap you!" I can't help but slightly giggle at this.
"Okay fine I'll come. Thanks girls." I tell them before the bell rings. "We better get to class see you girls later."
Later temple the girls and I had a classic sleepover. There was pizza, truth or dare and of course for my benefit, a bashing about Mark. What had started as a very depressing day turned into a very fun girls' night. This is truly what I needed who needs a guy when I have my girls.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Yeah I'm not done with this yet. Anyway sorry the first chapter was so long. I felt as if I had to explain to the noobs of the sailor moon fandom what had happened in past and what was going on now in this universe for Crystal Tokyo and this new generation of Sailor Guardians. Though if you stuck around this long then I shall assume you liked it and will want to read more. If so stay tuned.
