Return of the Earth Princess

Prologue

In a void of darkness a woman sits on a throne of obsidian stone she is dressed in a green evening gown. Her eyes are blood red; her hair is almost as black as the throne she is sitting on. All around her is a thick fog the woman watches as different images are shown reflected in the fogs misty folds most of the images show the daily life in a beautiful city with a palace of gold and marble. The woman would snarl at these images and curse at the queen who lived in this palace.

The fog also showed images of another beautiful city, this city had a palace that was pure white just like the city it was in, but it also had towers made of crystal that shone bright when the sun hit them. As the sun's light touched the crystal they would cast a multitude of colors across the sky. When the fog showed these images the woman would frown then go back to cursing at the queen in the palace of marble and gold when it would once again appear in the fog.

The fog showed many images besides these two beautiful cities and the woman would smile at what they showed like the one she was watching now it showed a young woman with fire red hair yelling at the queen of the gold and marble palace.

"So that bitch Beryl is having family issues good this can work to my advantage."

"Malacite you are summoned." the woman stated to the void surrounding her.

A man with silver hair wearing a pair of black pants and a shirt appears in front of the woman he has a Broadsword strapped to his back.

"You have summoned me Queen Metallia." Malacite asks kneeling in front his queen.

"Yes how goes the plan to destroy the alliance between the Queen of Earth and the Queen of the Moon."

"It goes well my queen we have already bent Queen Beryl's royal guard to our will, and have sown doubt of her loyalty among the people of the Moon Kingdom. The two kingdoms destruction is eminent my queen"

"Good I want you to implement the final part of our plan tonight by sunrise tomorrow I want our little play to come to a end" Metallia says dismissing Malacite who disappears in a pillar of flame.

After Malacite's flashy exit Metallia leans back in her throne and watches as the image she was just watching follows the young woman as she storms out of the room and away from Beryl who has her hand up and calling out to the young woman. 'Don't worry Beryl you'll see your daughter soon yes soon' Metallia lets out a maniacal laugh as her thoughts turn to what she has set in motion.

At the Gates of Time Sailor Pluto Gasps in shock as the image of the Moon Kingdom she is watching fades and is replaced by the image of Queen Serenity lying dead on a pillar in the ruins of what was once the Moon Palace. Hoping to stop the death of her queen she starts looking for the events that would cause such a thing to happen.

Meanwhile in Atlantis the capitol city of Earth a young woman with fire red hair walks through the Royal Market Place just outside the walls of the palace. She had on a set of black baggy pants and an equally baggy black shirt. Around her the girl listened to all the different merchants sell their wares, as she tries to calm down from the argument she just had with her mother.

'Damn her engaging me to that perverted prince from Juuri. I don't understand how he could have become such a pervert either. He was a nice guy when we where kids. Yet now I have my mother tell me I am to have his sister as a co-wife give me a break he must be a pervert wanting to marry his own sister.

Hell I can't believe my mom is even letting this happen ever since father died and the moon kingdom started calling Hiryu Endymion I swear she's lost it. Now she's been forcing more tutors at me trying to get me to act like her 'Proper Princess' bleeeeh I hate that shit I'd rather be practicing martial arts with the palace defense instructors that father hired. Now they knew how to teach.

"Fish get your freshly caught fish we have a sale on fresh flounder today Princess would you like some" a fishmonger asked her as she walked by breaking her out of her internal rant.

"No not today Roger how is your family?" The princess asked stopping to talk with her friend.

"Oh they're fine how are things going with yours, your mothers still trying to get you to act like a proper princess?"

"Yeah I don't know why. 'Sigh' It isn't like anyone's gonna care how I act besides I like learning how to fight I mean come on I can't have people guarding me every where I go can I."

"That is true but she's probably just worried about you, besides if anything happened to you or your brother Hiryu ,or should I say Endymion, the queen would go through heaven and hell to get revenge"

"Yeah I guess. Oh and say Hiryu you now how my mother is about that "the princess says then looks down and starts shuffling her feet as she starts to feel a little bit of guilt about the argument she had with her mother.

"Hey cheer up, besides you better get going your bodyguards are on their way." Roger said motioning his head to the entrance of the market where four people stood looking around for someone.

The princess looked over at where the old fishmonger was motioning. "Thanks Roger I'll see you later" the princess then took off deeper into the market place never noticing a shadow that started following her at a distance.

At the Gates of Time Sailor Pluto was frustrated she had just finished checking the Moon Kingdom for the source of the events that would lead to her queen's death but didn't find anything. "I can't believe this. What in the name of Hades could have caused this shit there are only a couple minor demon attacks going on and Uranus and Neptune have been dealing with those fairly well so what could cause this catastrophe and how do I stop it.

Hmmm I've heard rumors of Beryl gathering forces to invade, but every time I check on her she blocks me from viewing her. Even on the days she doesn't there is nothing I see that would even come close to verifying those claims. As it stands though I've checked everywhere else so I might as well check there too. With a sigh and a heavy heart Setsuna set her gaze on earth, hoping to find something to stop the massacre that would lead to trillions of deaths and leave all but one planet inhabitable.

As the princess ran deeper into the market a lone figure followed her waiting for the right moment to strike.

The figure smiled to it self as it noticed its prey begin to slow in a dark part of the royal market. Looking around the figure saw that no one was around to stop it from killing his prey; yes the time to strike had come.

The princess was having another internal rant as she ran from her bodyguards trying to find somewhere to relax for a bit with no interruptions. 'Alright I think I lost them. I know my royal guard are supposed to protect me and are my friends but I some times hate how they have to follow me around especially when I just want a moment of piece and quiet. Which I would never have with my royal guard around and most definitely not with how Yumi and her Husband are at times, Sheesh I mean just because they're married doesn't mean they can make out in public.'

The princess slows down and looks around at where she wound up while she was ranting to her self' I've Never seen this part of the market before I think I should head back toward the main street.

As she started to turn around and go back the way she had come from someone grabbed her from behind acting on instinct, given by training with the royal martial arts instructor Hiroshi and his wife Kumiko, she grabbed the hand that grabbed her and pushed it out away from her body and spun around kicking the person away from her.

The figure got to his feet and dusted his self off after the princess's kick sent him into a wall.

"Ah yes, you are a wild flower aren't you I will have fun deflowering you girl before I kill you." the figure said disappearing from where he was standing, and suddenly appeared a inch from her face and slammed his fist right in her gut doubling the poor girl over and knocking the breath from her lungs. "you must be wondering who I am right now aren't you Wench my name is Jadite I am one of queen Metallia's Generals. It's too bad I have to kill you for I would enjoy having you on your knees in front of me.

The princess got back to her feet. 'that punch hurt I doubt I can take too many off those I'm so glad my mother started training me in the use of my mana but will I be able to hit this guy with it I've seen Hiroshi throw those big balls of light he called ki around maybe I can do that but with mana instead of ki I haveta try or I doubt I'll be walking out of this alive' it was at first hard to gather the energy for the spell she was thinking about but as she drew in more energy it started to become easier. 'Ok almost got it almost got it there that should be enou...' Sadly she never got the chance to fire off here attack. The last thing the princess saw was a glint of light flash off the Moon kingdom crest before the knife that bore it slashed through her throat.

"Nephrite why did you do that, I was going to have some fun with her before I killed her." The figure said to another figure standing behind the dead princess. After gently lowering her body to the ground Nephrite replied to his companion" Jadite even though she is no longer our princess we should still treat her with respect. Plus you idiot she was about to erase your presence from the face of this planet or did you not sense the spell she was preparing to blast you with."

Jadite looked to the side for a moment avoiding Nephrites gaze

"I could have dodged it."

"Yes you probably could if pigs could fly with wings of steel." Nephrite said sarcastically flicking his hand that was still holding the knife downwards the knife lodges it self in the princess's dead heart "lets go before her friends show up." he tells Jadite before walking off a second later Jadite follows him. Behind the two men the dead princess's body glows briefly.

At the Gates of Time Sailor Pluto watches as the two men walk off before collapsing to her knees crying.' I wasn't in time I couldn't stop it two beautiful kingdoms wiped out because of the death of one princess. Trillions of lives doomed or destroyed.' lost in her own thoughts Sailor Pluto didn't see the brief glow that surrounded the dead Princess of Earth.

Queen Beryl hurries past the different stalls in the royal market as the sun starts to set. Long shadows line the path to her destination. A messenger had arrived earlier while she was in a meeting with her advisors Sheela and Morgan. Her daughter had been found dead in an abandon part of the royal market. Now here she was running through the market hoping that it was not true, but some rumor and that her daughter was still alive. Beryl came to a quick stop when she saw a crowd blocking her path.

"MOVE, Let me Pass" Beryl called to the crowd.

When they heard her voice most of the crowd parted a young soldier stayed where she was.

"I'm sorry my Queen there was nothing we could do," she said bowing her head and stepping to the side to let Beryl pass. Queen Beryl Looked down at the still form of her daughter the dagger with the Moon Kingdom crest was still in her chest "my pride my joy my soul my daughter they will all be destroyed." The Queen of Earth says picking her daughters body up and hugging her. "Hear me Serenity tonight your rule ends "Beryl screams to the heavens her screams turn into sobs as the sun disappears over the horizon.

"Hahaha soon my plan will be complete and the universe will be mine "Queen Metallia Laughs, her General Malacite having told her the news of the Princess of Earth's death "Jadite, Nephrite I summon thee."

The two people appear silently

"Yes my queen." they reply simultaneously.

"What is the status of the Earth and Moon kingdoms with the news of the Earth Princess's death?"

"The Moon kingdom has no clue of the Earth Princess's death. We have convinced Queen Beryl to not let the Moon Kingdom have a chance to explain. She has decided to make an all out strike against the Moon Kingdom Later tonight. She doesn't even realize her Generals who created the plan of attack, us included, are actually working for you." Jadite tells Metallia

"Good what about the bombs." Metallia asks Nephrite

"The Planet destroyers we gave her are being sent out with groups of Youma disguised as soldiers"

"Very good return to your posts so you won't be missed" Metallia dismisses them.

At the Gates of Time Sailor Pluto rises from her position 'well if I got to go I might as well go out in a bang' she decides summoning her Time stave she tries to open a portal after a few seconds of trying she realizes She's still stuck at the Gates of Time. Looking in to the gates Pluto watches in horror as her home planets atmosphere is destroyed in a broiling ball of flame the backlash of the event flashes across the link with her planet mercifully knocking her out.

"Damn what the hell hit me" Sailor Pluto mumbles getting up and looking through the gates what she sees brings the events of yesterday back to her mind with a vengeance. There Lying on a pillar was Queen Serenity grabbing her stave Pluto opens a portal to the moon and steps through.

'So this is what it feels like to die' Serenity thinks to herself before turning her thoughts to the battle she had Just fought 'They fell on us to quick my Senshi were picked off one by one as their planets ability to support life was destroyed sure we won but the cost, my god the cost, was too high the only surviving life was on earth we couldn't evacuate many but we did manage to evacuate some. My poor people almost all wiped out. Even m...m.. My daughter.' Serenity took a shallow breath as she thought about her daughter 'Well at least she will be safe. I sent her and her friends souls into the future. I just wish I could of seen my daughter get married and give me grandchildren Endymion Seemed like such a nice boy' Serenity's breath becomes even more shallow as her body starts shutting down 'Damn Metallia Murdering Beryl's daughter and using her to try and take over our kingdoms I hope you have a long and endless stay in that prison I made for you Bitch.'

Serenity is startled out of her thoughts as Setsuna her personal friend and advisor pops into being besides her.

"H..Hello...old...friend...I...fear..all...is..lost...p..please...promise...me...You'll...Watch...over...my...daughter...and...her... friends...p..promise." Setsuna looks down at her friend and Queen as her breathing becomes shallower by the second.

"I will my friend I promise" Setsuna says kneeling down next to Serenity. Tears come to Setsuna's eyes.

"Stay...me...don't...want...die...alone." Serenity gets out just before her lungs breathe their last breath.

Setsuna sat next to her queen crying till she couldn't cry anymore. Finally she got up and dug her queen a grave on a hill where you could get a very good look at the earth hanging in the night sky. When she was done Setsuna said a prayer and returned to the Gates of Time to await the rebirth of her queen's daughter.
