Uncertain Is the Future

by Nicolas St-Michel

Introduction

Hello there. I have been an anime fan for quite some time now, and the two anime who have really made an impact is Sailor Moon (" Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon ") and the Ronin Warriors (" Yoroiden : Samurai Troopers "). Many common things were found between the two teams and these can be found at :

http / it is not my page, for I do not know how to have my own. This page is from a friend of mine, Jason Tucker, whose story (" The Past and the Now ") simply inspired me to do one of my own and mine will be named " Pretty Ronin Sailor Moon II : Uncertain is the Future ".

This will my first attempt at writing a fanfic. For those of you who think this will suck, so sue me !It's my first time so give a break...

This story follows the great battle of the Ronin-Sailor vs Talpa-Beryl (this battle is the story " The Past and the Now "). Now I have done some research on the WWW and found the birth dates for all the main characters, for they will be needed in the story to follow. The Inner Senshi (the five originals) were born in 1977 and the Ronins roughly circa 1973. Their respective adventures can be followed by their ages at the time of their battles against evil. This means the fight Sailor Moon vs. the Wise Man (" R " series) would be near 1993. The Ronin did not have any more battles because they defeated Talpa back in 1991, until " Pretty Ronin SailorMoon : The Past and the Now ".

Both english-dubbed versions of these anime I know almost by heart. But yet, the Japanease version of Sailor Moon has so much more information that the version that we have (in fact, the English version has more information than the Fench translation). Unlike Mr. Tucker who thinks combining the Jap Sailor Moon with the American Ronin Warriors is the ultimate sin, let me reassure you that it is normal. The Jap Sailor Moon has all of the advanced transformations of all Senshi, while the Ronin... well... let me say that we're glad they only have one transformation.

This time, I must put in some clear indications. There is a 5-hour minimum time-zone difference between Japan and the US. Supposing that Ami and Rowan, who are studying abroad, are near the Pacific region of the US, the time difference is similar. If it is 8:00am in San Francisco, for example, it is about 2:00pm in Tokyo. Get it ? Also, at some part, time will be accelerated. I will go from like 9:00pm US and go straight to 8:00am Japan. If you REALLY want to know what happened betwen these gaps of time, imagine OK ? I won't go into THAT much detail !

And now, without further adue, on with the prologue...

Prologue: The Awakening

" Ami and I... we... In the next five years... We will marry. "

After those words were spoken, the young man awakes.

" My God ! It's true... " he said, " It wasn't just a dream... "

He knew that in time, his loved one, the one person he trusted the most will marry the man who had the vision of the wedding. Removing the sheets of his bed, still in sweat (him, not the sheets !), the blue-haired med student opened his room window to get some air. He looked at the stars for a while. With his mind thinking what he could do, he started to grin.

'At least, she'll be happy' he thought.

He knew he could never be the one, but being there for Ami Mizuno as a friend (or as the older brother she never had) is alright with him. With that covered, Rowan Strata (he removed the " of " of his title to try to live a normal life beyond his armor-wearing past), went back to bed, knowing he nedded his sleep for his big astronomy project tomorrow at the university observitory.

" Do it and the worst will come... " said a thundering voice from who knows where.

" What are you saying ? Who are you ? " He was talking in his sleep.

" Do it and the worst will come... " said the voice again.

" Do what ? " he yelled out loud.

Then dark clouds emerged taking the form of man, but his shape was blurry. The hand of this black entity seemed to be grabbing something through the darkness. Something was taken alright, something that the dreamer has not expected. That something was someone the dreamer knew all to well. She was tied to some sort of green rope, unable to move, as if her energy her drained, she was pale. The young woman was wearing a wedding gown.

" Remember her ? " ask the voice.

The dreamer was in shock. He couldn't do a thing to protect her. He didn't even know she was in danger or not.

" You leave her alone, you monster ! " cursed the man.

" I haven't done a thing, boy ! It is all your fault... " A loud laughter echoed through the darkness. His hand began to take the shape of a long, sharp sword.

" Remember, it is all your fault ! "

The man started to run toward her, knowing in his mind what will happen and that he will not make it. The entity lifted his hand-sword in the opposite direction and with one swing...

" no... "

...beheaded the young woman.

" AAAAAAAMIIIIIIIIIII ! " The head rolled on the ground to the feet of the man.

He woke up, sweating like never before. His breathing was hard and fast.

" Could it be another vision ? If I marry Ami, will this be how it will turn up ? " he asked to himself.

Ryo Urawa, ever since he was little, had glimpses of the future by his visions and every one of them came through. This one seemed so real that he stayed up all night trying to regain his senses.
