This is an idea that has been playing around in my head for a few months now. I'm not really sure what is going to happen with it, but I thought I'd work on the first chapter and see what people thought of it. I don't think I've seen this same thing before. I hope you all enjoy this. Please review on this one. I'm not really sure where I'm going with it…
Worth Dying For
By: Meghan McLaws
Prologue
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
A daughter of the moon shouldn't have died like that.
She didn't know what had happened. She wasn't even sure how she figured it out. But as she stood over the grave of one Tsukino Usagi, it all began to be pieced together in her mind. The years on the marker were too close together. It was such a waste of life. Only 3 short years for the woman who was destined to save the Earth? It shouldn't have happened like that. Why hadn't it been stopped? Why hadn't she at least survived?
She began to figure out what happened after sneaking into the local library for their newspapers. 11 years ago, the Tsukino family had gone out to the market. The roads were icy. The semi in front of them didn't stop. The whole family died. The mother was pregnant, the daughter suffered in her last days. The idea of the senshi of the moon already dead crushed the spirit of the Maun.
Why wasn't she being more protected! This wasn't how it was suppose to be. It was wrong for anyone to die like that. Beryl was gaining power. She was moving quickly and any day, she would be attacking Earth. It was like the Silver Millennium all over again.
Had Queen Selenity died for nothing?
She didn't know anymore.
The Maun took days to recover from the shock of losing the senshi of the moon. She felt like a failure. She'd spent the majority of her time on Earth searching the other countries for the senshi that were destined to be the saviors of the Earth. Years wasted when the senshi of the moon was already dead. The leader of the senshi, dead. The denial she felt about the situation was the strongest pain she'd ever felt. If only she'd been doing something sooner. If she'd started again in Tokyo… The same mantra played like a broken record in her head.
But as more attacks began in Tokyo, she couldn't postpone the necessary.
She still had a job to do.
Even if it had been desecrated so completely.
The senshi seemed to find her. First Ami, the Mercurian whose strength existed behind the screen of her computer. Then Rei, the Martian whose fire based attacked were just as hot as her temper. Makoto followed right behind, the Jovian whose hand to hand combat was unbeatable. The last to join the group was Minako, the Venusian whose experience on her own translated well as leader.
But they all could feel that something was missing.
Whether it was the Princess they were searching for, or the mysterious man who seemed to show up at the fights, they knew something was off. The need to fill it drove them. It consumed all of them.
The fights got harder, the wins more difficult to earn. And yet even thought they already had most of the Crystals, nothing happened. They weren't any closer to filling the void then they were before.
And they all dreamed of their princess.
Sometimes it was a simple plea to find her; sometimes it was a vivid memory of the past. But it was always the same thing. The warmth and compassion that they felt radiating from their royal more often brought them to tears.
It was enough to keep them going.
