Summary:
This story is based on Sailor Moon S. Professor Tomoe and Kaolinite try everything to find the Pure Heart with the Talismans to find the Holy Grail. My own little spin on it. Enjoy
Chapter 1
Professor Tomoe worked in his underground lab and standing next to him was his assistant Kaolinite.
"Is the Daimon Egg ready?" Kaolinite asked looking over his shoulder.
"Almost," Prof. Tomoe said grabbing the egg in his hands.
"What is it for?" Kaolinite asked looking at the small oval in his hands.
"I have told you time and time again. It is to find the one with the Pure Heart. Whoever bears the Pure Heart, also bears one of the three Talismans."
Then the egg started glowing and rushed out of Tomoe's hands and out of the lab.
"Follow it Kaolinite," Tomoe said looking at his red head assistant. With a nod, she disappeared right out of her lab coat. The egg had sensed someone with a Pure Heart and was going to take Kaolinite right to it.
Rei walked towards the Hino Shrine with Usagi at her side. Usagi swung her brown leather briefcase and hit Rei accidentally on her shoulder.
"Oh, sorry Rei," Usagi said starring at Rei's angry face.
"Usagi, why are you walking with me anyway?" Rei asked annoyed as they continued on their way.
"Well, I kind of wanted to talk to you about something?" she said looking down at the concrete ground.
"What is it?" Rei asked as they started climbing the steps to the shrine.
There was a moment of silence as Usagi took a deep breath.
"Do you think that the evil is really gone?" Usagi asked her as they reached the top of the steps.
Rei was stunned to hear her question and she looked at her friend and princess who she swore to protect above her own life. She could not count how many times they had fought together and how much she not only had to trust her own powers and strength to protect Usagi; but also how she had to learn to trust her to overcome her own struggles. Whenever an evil was destroyed there always seemed to be another villain more than willing to take its place. She had learned long ago not to make assumptions to quickly. They had been through so much all ready; the strain on Usagi's face was evident. No one had suffered as much as Usagi; however, it had been a blessing to have her become such an incredible warrior when everyone thought she would succumb and fall to the pressure.
"I don't know how to answer that. I personally would like to believe that, but to reassure you, I will asked the Great Fire, he will know".
"Oh, Thank you Rei. I really appreciate it," Usagi said hugging her.
Rei looked down at Usagi and felt her heart warm towards her friend, but she couldn't act weak, not now.
"I want to believe the battles are over and we can just be…But nothing ever seems to stay peaceful for long…" Usagi whispered in Rei's ear as she stepped out of her embrace.
"Hey! Don't get all mushy Odango Atama," Rei said grabbing Usagi's shoulders. "Lets enjoy the peace that we have now and fight when we must."
"Oh Rei, always trying to remain unsentimental," then Usagi walked away from her and the Shrine.
Rei frowned as Usagi disappeared below the steps, and then walked into the temple to talk to the Great Fire.
Usagi walked down the street towards her house, suddenly feeling very tired.
The past few days had been a whirlwind of emotions and battles. With beating the Dark Moon and Chibi-Usa going home to the future, she found herself with nothing to do and missing Chibi-Usa more and more each pacing day. She leisurely started to slow her pace and really started to think of everything she and the people she loved the most had gone trough. It sent a chill down her spine as she remembered it all so very clearly. The healing of the four sisters, the death of Rubeus and the banishment of the Dark Moon, were all great accomplishments. Still, this incredible feeling lurked inside her, a feeling that she couldn't' ignore.
"For how long will we have security?" Usagi asked herself that out loud and suddenly she was shoved from behind. The impact caused Usagi to stumble onto the floor. This is a first, someone has actually stumbled into me for once she thought as she tried to get up from the ground. She was usually the klutz and bumping into people and having to apologize every five seconds.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," someone said to her, grabbing her arm and helping her up. She looked up and into a pair of deep blue eyes, who somehow seemed very familiar...from a long time ago. She leaned back a bit and stared into the face a very handsome young man. He had an oval face with blonde strands of hair falling across his forehead. "It's alright," Usagi whispered as the man released her arm.
His grip had been firm and strong, but there was something about his touch, that didn't seem right. It seemed almost feminine somehow.
"You'll have to excuse my friend, she didn't mean to trip you," a young female voice explained to her.
Usagi looked and saw a young beautiful woman with shoulder length aquamarine colored hair. She wore a high school uniform, with a small violin case in her right hand along with her school handbag. "She?" Usagi asked shocked as she looked back at what she had thought had been a guy.
She looked down at his clothing and noticed that he wore a male uniform, the uniform was from the same high school as the girl. If he wore a male uniform, then he had to be a male… right?
"Yes, my friend here thinks it's hilarious to fool young girls into thinking that she's a guy," the girl answered with a small chuckle.
"My name is Ten'ou Haruka and you are?" Haruka asked bowing her head to Usagi.
"I am Tsukino Usagi," Usagi answered also bowing her head to Haruka.
"You certainly don't look feminine," Usagi whispered mostly to herself.
"I know," Haruka whispered back to her.
Usagi felt her face redden, she hadn't meant for Haruka to hear her. She could hear Haruka laugh lightly at her and she felt even more embarrassed. He looked so much like a male though. With short blonde hair and a medium built, she did not seem feminine at all.
"And this is Kaiou Michiru," Haruka said pointing to the aquamarine hair beauty. "I'm pleased to meet you Michiru," Usagi said bowing her head to her in respect as Michiru followed in the same fashion.
"Where are you heading Usagi?" Michiru asked her with a brilliant smile.
She's so beautiful Usagi thought also smiling. "I'm heading home actually," Usagi answered.
"I see that you're in Junior High," Haruka said looking at Usagi's school uniform. Usagi looked down at her Junior High uniform and smiled. "What grade are you in Usagi?" Haruka asked her. "I'm a year away from High School. So that means I have to study a lot for final exams," she said with a sigh. "Well, good luck Usagi," Haruka said with a smile.
"Yes, good luck," Michiru said linking her arm with Haruka's. Usagi stared at them walk away and had a weird feeling sweep inside her. She knew them from somewhere, but where? They looked so familiar to her, but why?
They seem like such nice people she thought with a small smile.
There was something more about them that she wasn't sure of and she hoped that it didn't involve something evil. Something she would have to battle later with her life.
"Did you feel something from her like I did?" Michiru asked Haruka as they sat down in a small corner coffee café, which was their usual hang out.
"Yes, Usagi has a unique trait that I can't quite connect and the energy emanating from her was too strong to be from a normal human being. It wasn't normal," Haruka said as a waiter came up to their table.
"Um, black coffee," Haruka said to the young female waiter.
"Hot water with lemon please," Michiru said to her and then the waiter walked away.
"Do you think she's one of the Talisman carriers?" Michiru asked Haruka.
"I sure hope not, because you know what happens if she's one of them as well as I do."
"Do you ever think it's unfair, to risk the life of someone for the whole world?" Haruka asked.
"If the death of one can bring salvation for all, I don't think so," Michiru answered.
"But it's not just the death of one, it's of three," Haruka whispered.
"Again, for the billions of people on this Earth, it's a small price to pay and one that must happen".
"That brings us back to Usagi," Haruka said.
"What do you mean?" Michiru asked.
"You know as well as I do, that only those with Pure Hearts can possess the Talismans that we are looking for to bring forth the Holy Grail to be used by the Messiah".
"Yes, I know the legend Haruka, but how does that bring us back to Usagi?"
"Just looking at her you know she is seeping with a Pure Heart and soul. She could be the one to possess one of the Talismans, and she could be one of the people they attack."
"I know, but what if she is one of them? I saw the way you looked at her Haruka. Your hoping that such a naive, good-hearted girl isn't it, right? For if she is, you know she must be sacrificed," Michiru said as the waiter returned with their orders.
"Is there anything else I could do for you?" the female waiter asked, mostly to Haruka.
Oh, another one of Haruka's many admirers Michiru thought taking a sip of her hot water with lemon.
Haruka, just loves to trick girls into thinking she's a guy she thought as the young girl dropped a piece of paper next to Haruka's coffee. The young girl then walked away with a small giggle. Haruka picked up the folded piece of paper and smiled a little.
"Look Michiru, it's her phone number," she said showing her the numbers on the paper.
"It sure looks like a phone number," Michiru said taking another drink from her cup.
"I'm very convincing huh?" Haruka said drinking some of her coffee.
"One of the best Haruka, one of the best," she said flashing her a smile.
Then Haruka's grin turned into a frown.
"You're thinking about Usagi," Michiru said looking at Haruka's worried eyes.
"I doubt Usagi is one of the Talisman carriers. She could never be," Haruka said drinking the rest of her coffee.
"Don't ever say never Haruka," Michiru said putting some money on the table. "Don't ever say never," and then they walked out of the coffee restaurant. On the way out, Haruka dropped the phone number in the trash bin.
Luna looked at Usagi snoring away in front of her homework instead of doing it.
This girl needs to learn to be more responsible Luna thought jumping onto the desk.
She cleared her throat and yelled "Usagi!!!" Usagi immediately jumped off onto her feet and looked around wildly in surprise.
"Luna!" she yelled looking at her laughing black cat.
"I knew that would wake you up," Luna said jumping off the desk and then walking to the foot of Usagi's bed.
"Your so mean Luna. I was really tired," Usagi said falling to her knees before her homework.
"Honestly Usagi, you're never going to get anywhere sleeping. I'm wondering if you realize that you're in danger of repeating the school year?" Luna said jumping onto Usagi's bed.
The sheets had little bunny pictures on them and Luna always thought they were childish to still own.
"I know Luna, but there are so many things going on in my life right now. I mean, I didn't get any sleep when we battled the Dark Moon. I was never so scared in my life," Usagi said grabbing her pencil and taping it on the small oak desk.
"Oh Usagi, you really have to start studying. All the other girls are studying right now, they're not having any trouble," Luna said with a yawn. Usagi then got up and looked angrily down at Luna.
"Why are you always comparing me to them? So I'm not as smart as Ami, as wise as Rei, as strong as Makoto or as dazzling as Minako, but I am my own individual person," she said angrily.
Luna had touched a nerve in her that angered her to the core of her being. She always hated Luna comparing her to other people and telling her what to do. She didn't need this grief. "I hate this! I hate being Sailor Moon!!!!! I hate being the Moon Princess!!!!! I wish you all would just leave me alone!!" then Usagi ran out of the room. "Usagi!!!!" Luna yelled running to the door, just in time to see Usagi run out of the house.
"I hate her! I hate them all!" Usagi yelled running down the almost empty streets of Tokyo.
She sat down on a nearby bench and tried to catch her breath, she had never run so fast in her life. She then took the transformation brooch off from her school uniform bow. She looked down at the shinning little brooch, with its mystical power. "What would happen if I threw you away right now? Crushed you right onto the street pavement! Out of my sight and out of my life," she then held the brooch up high. "Don't do it Usagi!!!!!" a familiar voice cried out to her.
She looked and saw Michiru rushing towards her. Usagi looked at Michiru's flushed face and wondered why she didn't want her to smash it...she couldn't possible know what the brooch was really for…could she?
"Michiru?" Usagi asked standing up and clutching the brooch tightly in her hand as Michiru reached her.
"Don't do it Usagi. Don't break that brooch," Michiru said standing in front of her.
"Why shouldn't I Michiru? Why shouldn't I?" she asked as Michiru looked at the brooch.
"Well, it's just so beautiful. I'd hate to see it broken," Michiru said with an awkward smile.
She's hiding something Usagi thought as she frowned at Michiru.
"Could I hold it?" Michiru asked suddenly.
Usagi looked down at the brooch. She never had let anyone touch it before. Except that one time when Chibi-Usa had stolen it from her and her little rendezvous that she had taken with it had nearly cost them their lives. Can I trust Michiru? she wondered looking up at her. Destroying it is a lot better of an idea than letting someone touch it. I can't trust anyone however, when Usagi looked into Michiru's honest eyes she felt her defenses crumbling. But she just wants to see it...so I guess I could let her .
"Sure, here," Usagi said giving the brooch to Michiru.
Usagi suddenly felt like she was giving a part of her when she handed the brooch to Michiru. She didn't know she had such a strong bond with the brooch and its power.
Michiru looked down at the brooch closely. The design and style where foreign; she had never seen anything like it. Memories ... Memories suddenly rushed into her mind. They were visions of different women, all of them wearing the same uniform, but different colors. Their faces were hidden but their dress was the same as the Sailor Fuku's Haruka and she wore when transformed. Then another soldier, one that seemed to be the leader, stepped forward. The soldier with long blonde hair that had appeared in her mind seemed vaguely familiar. She was hidden in the shadows, but the beautiful moonlight behind her embraced her form. Her uniform was clear, but her face was vague and dark. She stood tall in presence and Michiru could feel her power, which emanated from her being. It was so powerful and so warm; it seemed to engulf her in its power. Michiru closed her eyes and covered the brooch with two hands. She fell into its trance and softly whispered, "Messiah?"
"Michiru?" a voice called out to her, it brought her away from her thoughts and she stared at Usagi once more. Usagi had the exact same kind of hair as the uniformed maiden in her vision. Michiru blinked a few times and stepped back from Usagi. How long have I been imagining? she wondered as she opened her clasped hands and stared at the shinning brooch.
Could they somehow be connected? The maiden in my vision and this young girl before me… She thought starring at Usagi.
"What's wrong?" Usagi asked her curiously casting her a worried gaze.
"Oh...um...nothing," Michiru said handing her the brooch.
When the brooch left her hand, Michiru looked at her open palm, and she could still feel its warmth and shape. She traced the shape with her other hand on her palm and then closed her hand. Suddenly, Usagi reached for her hand and looked at her palm.
"Are you all right Michiru? Why are you tracing your hand?" Usagi asked starring at her empty palm.
"Oh Usagi," Michiru laughed unconvincingly as she removed her hand from Usagi's. "Nothing is wrong, I just…I just… I just felt my hand cramp up that's all," she shrugged. Please don't let her ask any more questions Michiru hoped as Usagi seemed to become more confused than before.
"Something happened Michiru...what? What did you see?" Usagi asked her worriedly.
Usagi knew Michiru had seen something, but Michiru's reserved expression was not displaying any hints as to what her thoughts might be. It was clear Michiru had not only seen something, but also felt something as well.
"Um...nothing Usagi. I really have to be going now. I'll see you later," then Michiru rushed away.
"There was something troubling her...What could it be?" Usagi asked herself as she watched Michiru disappear around a corner.
Rei kneeled before the great fire and closed her eyes. After a minute of praying, the fire grew double in size; she opened he eyes quickly and scrambled away from the flames. The fire had almost torched her and she still felt hot from the flames being so near to her skin and clothing. She had never seen it act this way before.
Suddenly a vision appeared in her mind. It was a man, mixing some chemicals and a young woman beside him. The vision was clear and powerful; she fell to her knees on the floor and clutched her chest as the horrifying vision continued. The man and young woman's mouths moved, but she could not decipher their conversation. Then that vision disappeared, and she saw another one of Sailor Moon fighting a youma, holding a Pure Heart in its hand. Good humans possessed a Pure Heart, which is the essence of their being. Without it, they are lifeless. A young woman appeared and laughed as the youma fought Sailor Moon. The youma was horrid looking with four eyes and a long black tail. The body resembled a human, but the face had two horns and its mouth-dripped green saliva. From his hands he would attack Sailor Moon with a ball of fire. Rei then hurriedly opened her eyes, breaking the vision, and she panted as she tried to slow her racing her. With a tentative hand, she touched her forehead, which was dripping with perspiration.
She stumbled to her feet and rushed out of the temple. Sailor Moon was going to need help if her premonition came true.
Kaolinite looked closely as the Daimon egg turned into a gold ring in a jewelry store. She made herself invisible and watched a young couple enter the store. The young man picked up the ring and Kaolinite watched closely as he bought it. Then they walked out, and he took the ring out of the case. The ring then started shinning brightly.
"Our first target...," she grinned as the young couple started to scream.
Usagi walked back towards her house and stopped someone to ask for the time.
"It's 11 o'clock," the man said rudely and then he quickly continued on his way.
"I better get back home," she said to herself as she continued on her way.
"AGH!!!!" she heard someone yell up ahead, then more screaming voices followed.
Suddenly people all around her where screaming and running for their lives.
I have to see what is going on! she thought pushing her way through the mass of people.
There had been a time, where she would have run away, along with the people. But those days of running away in fear where over. Then she saw what had scared everyone. A horrible youma was holding a man hostage. Then, it extracted a shinning four-pointed white crystal from inside the person. "It's a Pure Heart!!!" Usagi cried, as the crystal shone brightly. Usagi was mortified and quickly ran into a nearby alley.
"MOON COSMIC POWER MAKE UP!"
"Hold it right there!!!! Give me that Pure Heart now!" Sailor Moon ordered extending her gloved white hand.
"Do you really think I'm going to give this to you? Your out of your mind," the youma said clutching it in his hand. "Who are you anyway?" a female voice called out to Sailor Moon. Then a young woman appeared beside the youma. She wore a skin-tight, reveling, orange outfit, with high orange boots and long orange colored hair flowed behind her. She gazed at Sailor Moon with eyes that boiled with rage and hatred.
"I am the Pretty Sailor Suited Fighter Sailor Moon. It's not right to take away the life of another. I'll punish you!" then she rushed towards the youma, but it easily pushed her away. She landed on the hard pavement and looked up at them both laughing at her. She looked closely at the youma, into its four eyes.
How was she going to destroy the youma and return the Pure Heart? She couldn't attack it with her power, in fear that it may destroy the crystal as well.
"Sailor Moon!" a familiar voice cried out to her.
She looked and saw Sailor Mars standing a couple of yards away. Then suddenly a strange attack, rushed past her and hit the youma dead on. If she had not turned away, the attack would have hit her instead. The Pure Heart flew out of the youma's hands and landed on top of a parasol. Then she saw someone, with a white-gloved hand grab the crystal.
"It can't be," she whispered as she saw two Sailor Senshi stand below the multi-colored parasol.
One of the Senshi was tall, taller than Sailor Jupiter, with short blonde hair and blue eyes. Her uniform was the same as any Senshi, except hers was a dark navy blue; her bow was yellow and she had semi-high laced boots on. The other Senshi, the one holding the Pure Heart, had shoulder length wavy aquamarine hair and eyes. Her Senshi outfit color also an aquamarine and she wore high heels with laces that laced up her legs like a ballerina. "It's not the Talisman," the same Senshi said looking at her partner.
"Who are you?" Sailor Moon asked rising to her feet and looking at them.
"I am Sailor Neptune and this is my partner Sailor Uranus," the aquamarine hair colored Senshi replied to Sailor Moon.
"I'm Sailor Moon and this is Sailor Mars," Moon said pointing at Mars.
Sailor Moon then saw bewilderment flash on Neptune's eyes as she saw them land on her brooch. She seemed confused for a moment as she saw Neptune's eyes stare at her brooch.
"I believe you have bigger problems than us right now," Sailor Uranus said pointing to the youma. Sailor Moon turned around as the youma produced a giant ball of fire in its hands. Sailor Mars' Burning Manila Attack came flying threw the air and hit the youma, stopping it from sending the ball of fire. "Here you go," Sailor Neptune said.
Sailor Moon turned around just in time to see the Pure Heart fly trough the air. She dove and barely caught it in her hands.
"NEPTUNE DEEP SUBMERGE!!!"
"URANUS WORLD SHACKING!!!!"
The two powers from the Senshi combined and hit the youma destroying it.
"Wow," Sailor Moon said getting up, just in time to see Neptune and Uranus run off down the street.
"This isn't over yet. I'll get you guys next time," Kaolinite said disappearing.
Sailor Moon then ran towards the young man laying on the ground. The Pure Heart floated above him for a minute and then entered his body. He immediately woke up and staggered to his feet. A hysterical young girl ran towards them and took the man in her arms. "Thank you," the young girl said with tears in her eyes.
Mars and Moon looked at each other and ran off as more people gathered around.
"Uranus, I have to tell you something," Neptune said as they stood on the rooftop of one of the tallest buildings in Tokyo. She couldn't erase Usagi from her mind and the brooch she had managed to stop Usagi from breaking. Sailor Moon was wearing the exact same one.
"What is it Neptune?" Uranus asked putting her right hand on Neptune's left shoulder.
Then the two Senshi powered down to Haruka and Michiru.
"I saw Usagi earlier tonight Haruka," she said looking at her.
"And?" Haruka asked, still wondering what Michiru was trying to tell her.
"She's Sailor Moon," she said calmly.
"What?!" Haruka cried looking closely at Neptune.
"Are you sure?, I mean, you could be mistaken," Haruka said narrowing her eyes.
"Compare them Haruka, the same hair, eyes, skin color and... brooch".
"Brooch?" Uranus asked puzzeledly.
"Yes, Usagi has the same exact brooch as Sailor Moon. That brooch is too rare in style and model to belong to two different people. It leads me to connect the two and the more I think about it, the more convinced I become".
"And if your wrong?" Haruka asked crossing her arms.
"Well," Michiru said leaning on the side rail of the rooftop.
"Then I'm wrong," she added as a gust blew by, making her hair flow.
"So, if Usagi is Sailor Moon...What do you want to do?" Haruka asked resting her hands on the metal rail.
"I think we should just continue as planned. Find the Talisman. I don't think it changes anything really".
"That's where you're wrong Michiru...It changes everything," Haruka said looking out at Tokyo.
"I am so happy! Two new Sailor Senshi, this is so great," Sailor Moon said powering down to Usagi at the Hikawa Shrine.
They sneaked into Rei's bedroom, making sure not to disturb anyone and closed the door. Sailor Mars then powered down and looked at Usagi crossly.
"Usagi, we don't know if they are here to help us yet," she said sitting down on the carpeted floor.
Usagi then crashed onto Rei's bed and sighed.
"Your always so negative Rei," she said.
"Someone has to be sensible," Rei replied crossing her arms.
"Yeah, but not grouchy," Usagi countered throwing a pillow at her.
Rei caught it before it hit her and send it flying to the other side of the room.
"I'm going to ignore that," Rei said looking at her angrily.
"Whatever, I still think that Sailor Uranus and Neptune are here to help us. They can't possibly be bad Senshi. There's no such thing".
"How do you know? Have you talked to Luna or Artemis about it?" Rei asked.
"Luna and I had kind of a fight earlier, before we met Uranus and Neptune. So I don't know her input yet."
"Usagi, you and Luna shouldn't argue. Chances are, it was your fault anyway."
"Don't you start Rei. Besides, we where talking about more important things."
"I would be careful Usagi. Uranus and Neptune could be dangerous. We can't trust them".
"But Rei, they seemed like such good people," Usagi whined.
"Usagi we don't know for sure. I'm going to contact the other Senshi and notify them about the approaching evil and the two new Senshi."
"I still think your wrong Rei. Just wait and see, Uranus and Neptune are good Senshi and they will help us. I wonder though.." Usagi paused for a moment and a quizzical look appeared across her face. "What took them so long?"...
