Sailor Moon, the Second Generation

by Evee Jade

They always warned Chibi-Moon, "Someday you will stand on your own, as a proud Sailor Senshi." That day has come. The 30th century, Neo-Queen Serenity, and the Silver Crystal are ancient myth, and Rini has been reborn into a future Solar System where the fate of her new friends, family, and life depend upon her mysterious power. Sequel to the original manga;)

1. Watcher

Hey guys, thanks for stopping by! I appreciate the follows and favorites, and welcome any comments or constructive criticism you guys have :) I'm writing this based off of Naoko Takeuchi's original manga, so hopefully you get a 'manga-ish' vibe to the story. I'm using Rini's name, as well as Helios and Diana, but most of the characters are OC. Enjoy!

Arc 1: Moon

Act 1: Moon Base

Scene 1: The Watcher

He had been observing the Earth for a long while now, how many years he could not say. He orbited slowly, his quick eyes, golden like the sun, missing nothing, watching every spaceship that came and went, he knew the timing of every satellite orbiting by. When the droid flew past, he could see past it's cloaking mechanism, though it was still just a miniscule purple streak against the foreverness of space.

In a heartbeat he had darted after the droid and snatched it up, holding the large-eyed cat face up to his own. It tugged against his grasp, the small antennae blinking, eager to continue its journey.

"Diana," he purred. "Where are you headed? What have you found?" He spoke rhetorically, for the droid's speaker was off and the screens it had for eyes remained blank. He allowed it to slip from his fingers, following after it as it smoothly streamed away from Earth.

After a time a small white orb appeared, glowing and growing larger as he approached.

"The Moon, then, is it?" he mused, more to himself than it. The droid whisked down toward the Moon's surface. He followed for as long as he was allowed, until his chest tightened and his throat closed, the invisible force field that threatened to suffocate him keeping him at bay. He strained, wheezing, grinning a hungry grin like a wolf on a leash. He then backed up just until his breathing returned to normal and began to patiently orbit the safe zone.

"I gave up looking on the Moon so long ago. You really think she is here?" he smiled into the deepness of space, blackness beginning to ebb from him like spilled ink in water. "I certainly hope you are right. It's time to wake up, Sailor Moon."
