Note: This is a multi-genre limited story. C&C are welcomed.
Special Note: The following is based upon DC's "Multiversity" series, and will serve as a primer to the upcoming tie-in to DC's "Convergence" and Marvel Comic's "Secret Wars" limited series (called "Secret Convergence").
Author's Note: More will be updated as time permits. Also, feel free to make any suggestion as to what version of Earth (and the type of Sailor Scouts that exists on that world) should I include (whenever you see "unknown" in the description). As I post new chapters, those worlds will be updated. Later, I will move this to my profile page, once all the 52 worlds have been cataloged. Enjoy!
Part 1
The Tsuki-52 Multiverse is a cluster multi-verse that had been inadvertently created by the most recent incarnation of the legendary Moon Princess, heir to the Silver Millennium. To be sure, there are multiple "multi-verses" within a "sea" of infinite universes. In this particular case, the Tsuki-52 Multiverse was created by a Moon Princess from one particular reality, of one particular timeline. The result was the creation of THIS particular multi-verse that had been clustered together as one such reality.
Keeping watch over the Tsuki-52 is the Council of Pluto, whose members are represented by each sub-universe's Sailor Pluto, each of whom is a reflection of their environment. For the most part, each Pluto has honored a non-aggression pact that had been made amongst the Pluto(s), focusing on keeping the machinations of their respective Moon Princesses from affecting the other sub-universes. They are also charged with keeping the insane "Time Trapper" (a version of Sailor Pluto from a failed timeline) from destroying the Tsuki-52, out of spite for being the lone survivor of her timeline.
Nevertheless, here is the present status of the Tsuki-52:
Anti-Earth: With the laws of physics and ethics are reversed, Sailor Luna (aka "Sailor Chaos") seeks to conquer her counterpart Sailor Moon (aka "Sailor Cosmos") and the rest of the Tsuki-52. See it as the "basement" of the Tsuki-52
Earth-Zero: The foundation to the rest of the Tsuki-52, Earth-Zero is an amalgam of the other sub-verses of the Tsuki-52, to one degree or another. Sailor Moon (aka "Sailor Cosmos") is the guardian of this and other sub-verses from Sailor Luna.
Earth-1: The newest incarnation of Sailor Moon (i.e. "Sailor Moon Crystal") has arrived, even as others are being created (i.e. including a possible new iteration of "Ranma ½").
Earth-2: The oldest incarnation of Sailor Moon, and others. This world's Sailor Moon is older, having retired from her career as a magical girl in 1997. Now, she is a housewife (34 years old) with kids (Chibiusa is going to college) while working part-time at a local flower shop. Though she is glad to have defeated Chaos, Usagi longs to be a magical girl again. Be careful what you wish for…
Earth-3: Everyone is a bad guy, and they love it! This world's Sailor Moon, known as "Soldier Moon", believes that "love and justice" is for saps, and that there is a pecking order in life, where might makes "right". Think along the lines of Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" series when thinking of Soldier Moon's place in this world.
Earth-4: Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts were created by the Japanese government as living weapons (aka "Project: Cosmos"), in order to protect the citizens of Japan from threats, both externally and internally. Thanks to the discovery of an ancient artifact found on the Moon, these super-soldiers serves as emotionless pawns against the threat poise by the agents of CHAOS. However, there is more than meets the eye as to what is really going on, especially since the head of Project: Cosmos, Dr. Setsuna Meioh, is intent on keeping certain truths a secret…
Earth-5: Young Ranma Saotome, a martial arts prodigy, stumbled across an ancient tomb while traveling with his father on training journey. Given a sacred artifact by the ghost of Queen Serenity, late of the ancient Moon Kingdom Ranma, upon saying a magic word, uses it to transforms into the World's Mightiest…Magical Girl? As the Soldier of Love and Justice, Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts fight a never-ending battle against the forces of Chaos!
Earth-6: The nefarious Time Lord known as "The Master" has successfully defeated his arch-rival, "The Doctor", and took over Earth. Now, Ranma Saotome (known simply as "Martha Rose", in honor of two people who were close to him) leads a rebellion against the Master on the outside. Meanwhile, the captured Usagi works to undermine the Master's rule, even as she poises as his most loyal servant. Unfortunately, upon his defeat, the Master made sure that the timeline will always loop, from the day he took over to the day of his defeat, with only a handful of people, including Ranma, Usagi, the Master, the Doctor and a few others knowing the truth of what is going on, but cannot do anything to stop it. The question is why the Guardian of Time, Sailor Pluto, is allowing the temporal loops to continue...
Earth-7: There are no Sailor Scouts reborn as "magical girls", but the heirs to the Silver Millennium are reborn a "superheroes" of a Golden Age. Usagi is "Super-Moon", last daughter of the doomed planet Krypton. Ami is "Mercury", the fastest girl alive. Minako is the sensational "Wonder Girl". Rei is "Martian Girl", alien junior detective. Makoto is the "Teen Lantern", young wielder of the Green Lantern. Hotaru is the "Huntress". Haruka is "Hawkgirl", while her love is "Aqua-lass". Guided by the mysterious sorceress Setsuna, aka "Miss Fate", the Justice Scouts do what they can to combat the forces of the League of Chaos…before and after school, of course.
Earth-8: There are no Sailor Scouts reborn as "magical girls", but the heirs to the Silver Millennium are reborn as "superheroes" of a Silver Age. Usagi is "Iron Moon" (family friend of Tony Stark, aka Iron Man). Ami is "Hulk-Mercury" (intern of Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk). Minako is "Soldier Venus" (protégé of Captain America"). Rei is "Firefly Mars" (i.e. goddaughter of Janet Van Dyne, aka The Wasp). Minako is "Thunder Jupiter" (adopted sister of Thor Odinson). Hotaru is "Silence Saturn" (protégé of the Black Widow). Haruka is X-Uranus (rescued by Logan, aka Wolverine, from the Weapons X program). Michiru is "Blue Neptune" (cousin of Namor, the submariner). Allies of Setsuna, the Kree mutant known as "Marvel Pluto", the Avenging Scouts protect the world from poise by the Dark Empire, which is led by Dis (as in "Discord"), avatar of the cosmic entity known as Chaos.
Earth-9: Middle Earth never went away like its people to the West, but the evil poised by Chaos, led by Beryl, the daughter of Sauron and Metalia, results in the creation of a new generation of warriors to combat against this threat. Led by the heir of House of Gondor and Rivendall, Serena of Rabbits, these "Lady Scouts" fight in honor of the fabled Fellowship of Old. Besides Serena, there is Amy, an inspiring hobbit scribe. There is Mina, a human bard and storyteller. There is Raye, a Elven warrior maiden of Mirkwood. There is Lyta, born and bred a Ranger. There is Heather, dwarven healer. There is Alexis, knight of Gondor who hides the fact that Alexis is, in fact, a woman. There is Alexis' love Michelle, gifted to play the lyre, and is a daughter of the sea. Guided by the sorceress Susana ("She-Who-Knows"), a descendant of the Maiar, the Lady Scouts have vowed to prevent the heir to Chaos' power from darkening the world.
Earth-10: The Axis won World War II, and Sailor Moon and her fellow Sailor Scouts serve at the discretion of the Imperial Japanese government, having claimed both the Pacific Ocean and the nations that border it. When not fighting the enemy of the state, these magical girls fight youma that threatens humankind. Usagi is betrothed to Prince Mamoru, heir to the Imperial throne, but rumors are swirling around Usagi's misgivings about her mission could threaten her future…
