Author's notes:
#1-This fanfic is based on the anime Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon. All characters are from their respective owners (Naoko Takeuchi, Toei, etc.). I do not claim any characters from her. All other characters, story lines, and ideas belong to be (in other words, no thieves, people!).
#2- Sorry to disappoint, but Chibi Usa/Moon does not appear in this series (Chibi Chibi, however, is a different story). So look elsewhere.
#3- Guardian Stars is a series that takes place after SMSS (Sailor Moon Sailor Stars) and is based upon the anime, not the manga.
#4- This part is not very exciting, due to my need of skills in writing and the fact that I have to set the story up. With everything being said, enjoy!
Guardian Stars: Part 1- Forewarning
Somewhere in space, above from the nine planets of the solar system . . .
"Hiiya!" yelled the pink haired girl with heart odangos as she knocked off the brunette's sword from behind. When the fallen sword gave the same satisfying clatter for the fiftieth time that day, she turned around and smiled at the brunette, who was looking annoyed. "I win, yet again. Believe it when I say I'm a better fighter than you."
"Whatever. It's because I'm fighting with a sword here. The swords are your weapon, and do consider that it's the Stella Saber you're holding there. If I had my Crystal Spear, I wouldn't had to use half of the effort to defeat you!" the brunette practically growled. She, who never lost to any sport, cannot accept the fact that the pink haired leader was quicker in battle with any weapon, in this case.
"Don't blame the weapons, for your lack of intelligence and fighting skills," the other remarked. "Anyhow, I'm sure that you can use some rest from all that…hard… training," she said in a sweetly, underlying tone.
This time, the brunette did actually growl. Then she flipped her short hair that was slightly above her shoulders, spun around, and headed back to her post on the right side in front of a gate. This particular gate is named the Dimension Gate. It is an entrance as well as exit, where creatures from different galaxies can interact with the Milky Way. Five warriors and the five legendary creatures are to guard this gate so guests with evil intentions cannot sabotage the galaxy.
A girl possessing dark red hair, dark enough to mislead you into thinking it's black, walked up. The Tiger of Metal followed loyally behind its mistress.
"Really, can't you resist teasing her at every chance you get?" she scolded the pink haired lass, although there was a trace of smile on her face.
The other grinned and then whistles three different notes with two fingers, signaling her Phoenix of Fire, which was flying above them. After the call was made, the phoenix obediently flies toward its mistress. As she ruffles its feathers, she was silently thanking her phoenix for bringing out her Elemental Seed, which was the Stella Saber. "She'll get over it," she shrugged.
It's true. The brunette has a temper that is easily aroused and patience thin as paper which brings her to anger many times, but usually, her recovery rate is faster than the rest of them (unless of course, she's really PO at something). However, the yellow-orange haired lass, who is now talking to the brunette, is absolutely opposite. She's very silent and calm most of the time. But when she's angry, those flashes in her eyes can freeze your blood. Definitely not someone to mess with. Spiraling upwards of her arm is the Snake of Earth.
Suddenly, images produced by a huge mirror above the Dimension Gate caught the light blue haired girl's attention, who was currently riding on the Dragon of Wood.
"Minna-san! Warnings from the Silver Imminent Mirror!" she said as she jumped off of her dragon.
The others immediately stopped what they were doing and started quickly toward the mirror, including the brunette, who was before sulking with the Tortoise of Water over her last battle practice.
In the first image from the mirror, a black sphere was flying through space, which seemed to be tailed by a bright, golden star. Then there was a quick picture of the Dimension Gate. Next, the mirror showed more series of different images, which included an angle of Earth with the two unfamiliar objects approaching, a scene where both objects penetrated Earth, and a close-up view of Earth with the outlines of Japan. The images soon faded away and resumed to its original look.
The five girls looked at each other. Silence hung in the air while they tried to piece together what the Imminent Mirror was trying to tell them. Knowing future misfortune was going to befall soon and with the mirror giving mysterious answers, the feeling of uneasiness is mutual between them.

"Two new forces are approaching," murmured Michiru as she watched the images created by her talisman, the Deep Aqua Mirror, fade away.
"Like always, trouble comes one after another," Haruka said, referring to their earlier battle with Galaxia.
"Michiru-mama?" questioned Hotaru, seeing the troubled expression on Michiru's face.
Michiru lifted her head up from the mirror, meeting the others' eyes that sat on the same table in the café. "It's unusual for the mirror to show so many images. I have a very unsettling feeling. And that gate the mirror showed…" Michiru trailed off.
" . . .Is not the Time Gate," Setsuna finished for her as she stirred her coffee. She too has an unpleasant feeling. Even as the keeper of the time gate, she only knows so much. Whether or not any beings are more powerful than their previous attack with Galaxia remains unknown.

"An endless fight to the end," sighed the pink haired girl lightly, still clutching her sword.
"Shaken, o' mighty leader?" The brunette taunted. She received a one hundred watts annoyed look from the other.
'They never fail to fight at the wrong time ' the tiger's mistress thought, exasperated. Just when she was about to point that out, the graceful mistress of the blue dragon saved her the trouble.
"Look, we have more important things to discuss?" she said pointedly, indicating the mirror. The bickering pair turned and glared at her. "Um, don't we?" she added weakly. The red head sweat dropped. So much for helping.
The girl that had the Snake of Earth coiled around her arm whom had been quiet then spoke up. "Be careful, minna. Do you recall what sensei once said? 'Images from the mirror may be closer than they appear in reality.' It might not be a regular-"
The fierce roars of the Tiger of Metal suddenly cut her off. They were immediately alert, watching the Dimension Gate in which the tiger were growling at.
"Something's coming . . ." the tiger's mistress whispered.
The distinctive boom of thunder erupted throughout the chamber, following by a flood of strong light, blinding the five in the room.
"A force is penetrating through the protective field!" the brunette shouted over the noise as she instinctively brought her arm over her. With the clicks of their earrings, visors appeared swiftly before their eyes, both analyzing the force that is breaking in behind the gate and protecting their sights at the same time. Moments later, a shrill call from the phoenix indicated a successful penetration through the force field. Without even seconds for them to analyze, two objects-an orb and a golden star [sounds familiar? I'll bet] busted into the room through the Dimension Gate, stopping abruptly in the middle. Without the force field, the gate was not an obstacle.
Before any of them can react, five small and fast beam shot out from the objects with incredible accuracy, striking the five elemental creatures directly on their chest. Seconds later, their elemental seeds [like star seeds] floated outward, the glow with its' respective color surrounded each of them. The creatures shrieked in pain. The two objects collected-yes, somehow just collected-the elemental seeds. However, the fifth elemental seed was still in the form of a sword, which was gripped tightly by the pink haired leader.
"The Elemental Seeds are removed?! How-but-"
"STAR PHOSGENE IMMERSE!" shouted the yellow-orange fighter as she let loose her attack toward the objects, not waiting for an explanation or bother to even allow herself to be bewildered. The poisonous liquid went through the mysterious objects like air and had not did the slightest harm, however. She took a step back, stunned. Any other object would have melted like nothing after being hit by that liquid. Now, the two objects escaped almost out of their sight.
"SIRIUS TRANQUILITY SLASH!" the pink haired leader cried, giving a fast, diagonal swipe with the Stella Saber to the direction of the intruders, creating a brilliant light in which had followed them. Somehow, this attack seemed to affect it a bit: enough to loosen the bond in which held the Elemental Seeds. But the momentum led the seeds to go the same direction nevertheless. Being too far away from the invaders and seeds now, the five fighters can only watch helplessly as the objects penetrated earth.
To be continued…
