Episode 1
It had been three months since the battle with the Black Moon Clan and the Sailor Senshi were enjoying a nice long rest after such an intense fight. They were beginning their last year of middle school and were currently studying for their entrance exams at Rei's home.
While the group was talking about their future between studying, Rei's thoughts were elsewhere. For a few days now, she had been suffering nightmares. The images that she saw were of a powerful destruction and three lights of salvation that vanished to the distance before everything was consumed in darkness.
"Rei, are you alright," she heard Ami ask, "You seem to be distracted". Rei snapped back.
"It's nothing," she said putting on a happy face, "I just had some odd dreams".
"Well, I hope they a delightful dreams," Usagi said in her bubbly, joyful attitude, "Like the dreams I have of me and Mamo-chan".
The girls continued to chat, but Rei could not shake the feeling another battle was on the rise.
"The time has come," a dark figure spoke through a giant crystal in an alter room, "The time of destruction has begun".
"How shall we precede Master Pharaoh 90," a woman asked. The woman had red hair, and wore a black dress with gray stockings, and a black pendant around her neck. She bowed her head to the darkness radiating off the crystal.
"Kaolinite," the being stated, "You must find the Holy Grail"
Deep in the basement of Mugen Academy, the scientist, Souichi Tomoe, was completing one of his experiments. "The master says that we must find the three talismans within the three people if the Holy Grail is to appear," Kaolinite said to Tomoe, "The talismans will be located within Pure Heart Crystals". Tomoe did not show attention to her as a white object broke free from the beaker.
"At last, the Daimon Egg is finally completed," he said in a maddening manner, "Daimons will be able to steal pure hearts".
Kaolinite smile, "Then I guess we shall begin our search". Kaolinite turned and called out, "Eudial". A red-headed teenage girl arrived out of the darkness, bowing, "You called Magus Kaolinite".
"I am charging you with this Daimon egg," she said as the egg flew to Eudial, "Find someone with a pure heart and plant this daimon to capture it".
"Yes Magus," Eudial said and vanished in the shadows with the egg.
"Papa," the two heard a voice from upstairs. A little girl, with short black hair, wearing a Mugen uniform ran downs stairs and collapsed. "Hotaru," Kaolinite said with concern, "Have you taken your medication".
"Back off!" Hotaru shouted, pushing Kaolinite away, "You think you can just worm your way into our family. You should know your place".
"Hotaru," Tomoe said in a strict tone, "she is just concerned. You should be respectful". Hotaru glared at Kaolinite, until she felt another shoot of pain going through her.
"Papa, the medicine is not working anymore," she said weakly. Tomoe checked on her. "Don't worry Hotaru. I have something that might help".
Tomoe went through a drawer and pulled out a necklace with a huge crystal pendent. "Here," he said, handing the crystal to Hotaru. "This is the Taioron Crystal. It will help you through these fits. It is an heirloom belonging to your mother." Hotaru looked up and grabbed it immediately, holding it close to her. The pain started to lessen, but Hotaru could not help but feel like these past few years she began to fade from existence.
Usagi and Rei were in the park, washing a wound on their foreheads when they collided into each other earlier. "Honestly Usagi, I don't even bother to figure out why you even bother studying when you keep getting such low grades".
Usagi was about to yell when, Rei continued, "But you know, you do have many better qualities, even if studying is not one of them". Usagi was stunned, wondering where the sudden compliment came from. Rei sat down on the bench, "Usagi, what's your dream"?
"Why do you ask?"
"Well, lately I've been thinking about my future and where I might become. Maybe a singer, or an actress. But if I just stayed as a miko, I think I would be perfectly happy". Usagi continued to wonder what it was that caused her friend think of such things right now.
"Well, I don't know what I would do, but I know that as long as I have Mamo-chan, I'll be happy even as a simple house wife," Usagi said, her face turning red from embarrassment.
"Well, I certainly hope your grades improve, before he realizes he is dating a dim-wit," Rei stated in a playful manner.
"Hey!"
Rei ran up the stairs, hoping to get in a fire reading to see if she could make her visions more clear. As she ran up, she passed by a visitor leaving the temple, when she suddenly felt a chill. She looked back, seeing the red head wearing a Mugen Academy uniform, though was not able to catch her face. She ran back, seeing the girl turning around the corner. When Rei went around the corner, the student was nowhere to be seen. Cautiously, she went back to the temple to prepare for her reading.
She went to the fire, hoping to gain some omen as to the darkness that was most likely approaching. She suddenly had an image flash before her of her fortune tree outside. Tired from her reading, she drew a fortune. She placed it on the tree and she prayed for everyone's happiness and from better days.
Suddenly, the tree glowed brightly, and began to move. It transformed into a female humanoid form, staring maliciously at her. Rei knew that if she stayed in the courtyard, her grandpa or a visitor might get her, so she ran into the wooded area, with the monster on her tail.
Once she was clear of the sight, Rei grabbed her Star Stick. But before she could transform, the Daimon charged at her, pinning Rei's hands to the wall, causing her to drop her stick. The hands suddenly hardened and the Daimon broke them off her body, to be replaced by a new set.
Rei was trapped, unable to move. She saw someone appear behind the Daimon. The woman had red hair, tied in two braids. She wore a red tight tang top, as well as red baggy pants with a black ribbon skirt. The girl held a cocky smile, "Sorry about that false vision priestess. I'm afraid I just couldn't wait to get your pure heart" Rei could not understand how someone could possibly send a false vision to her during a reading. "Daimon, take her pure her" the girl commanded.
The Daimon revealed a black star symbol and a beam was released from it, striking Rei in the chest. Rei screamed in pain, feeling something being ripped out of her. "I'll leave you to this. We still need to find more pure heart humans". The girl suddenly vanished as the Daimon continued attacking Rei.
Usagi arrived at the temple, planning to meet the girls for another study session. She suddenly heard Rei screaming, and ran to find her being attacked by a monster. She immediately transformed into Sailor Moon, and interrupted the Daimon's attack. Sailor Moon struggled to fight the Daimon, and the other girls as well as Tuxedo Mask were quickly disabled before they could assist Sailor Moon. When Sailor Moon tried to use her Cutie Moon Rod, the Daimon remain completely unaffected and was able to disarm her. After trapping Sailor Moon, the Daimon continued its extraction of Rei pure heart.
Rei continued screaming until finally, a crystal appeared before her, causing Rei to lose consciousness. Sailor Moon continued to scream for her friend, but it was no use. The Daimon grabbed it, turning her attention to the still trapped Sailor Moon. Before the Daimon could act, it was attacked by a powerful blast from an unknown location and it screeched in pain. A second separate blast hit the monster, destroying it, leaving behind the fortune tree and a broken Daimon Egg.
With the creature destroyed, the bindings vanished, releasing everyone. Sailor Moon ran up to her friend, "Rei, please wake up" Sailor Moon begged. The girls shouted to her, but she did not stir.
The crystal appeared moving back to Rei, and it moved back into her body, awakening her. The girls hugged her and cried in relief. They heard a noise behind them and they saw two figures hiding in the trees, before fleeing the scene.
"It appears that the pure heart wasn't a talisman" Kaolinite said to Tomoe in the alter room at Mugen, "Not to mention we lost a Daimon in the process".
"No matter. Thanks to my experiments, we have plenty of Daimon eggs. We'll find the talismans eventually".
Kaolinite smiled, "And in the meantime, I'll deal with this Sailor Moon. She might be troublesome in the future. Luckily with her weaken state, I can ensure she won't bother us again".
Tomoe left as Kaolinite stood at an altar. She started chanting an incantation as she raised a staff above her, picturing Sailor Moon. Dark energy emerged from the Taioron Crystal and into the staff. As she finished the incantation, a dark wave released from the staff, and travelled throughout Tokyo. A Usagi slept, her shining Silver Crystal began to fade.
AN: So I am working on rewriting the Sailor Moon S season. I will skip a few episodes but will change the episodes I do write about. I liked Kaolinite in the manga and I felt her role in the first part of the season was no different than the Witches 5, so I made her role similar to the manga.
I also wanted to introduce Hotaru early on and include the Taioron Crystal as well.
