*Hi, and welcome to my new fanfic. I thought this one up some time ago, even though I'm not
sure how it will end up. Just review to tell me if you liked it, or if you have any suggestions. Well,
enjoy!*
A Change in Plans: Prologue
In these large galaxies of stars, planets, and moons, a large threat was fast taking over. It
traveled from one solar system to another, and its vast shadow caused panic and chaos wherever
it chose to go and conquer. That presence, whom few had ever lived to remember, was known as
Galaxia.
Almost every planet knew of her. They had heard the tales of the Sailor Wars, where
Chaos spread like wildfire in its takeover of the galaxy. But, the strongest Sailor Senshi in the
universe had sealed Chaos inside her as a last resort. From then on, there was peace for a very
long while.
So, it was not surprising that the most powerful general of the Kinmokian court was
sitting in a large control room, with his eyes constantly glued to every single star and planet in
the black void. His eyes held heavy bags beneath, but he would not sleep. So was the worried
mood that he felt as he watched, and read of the many things that had already come to pass.
"General Majhana?," a voice outside the door asked, and in stepped the second-in-
command. He looked at the general with much sympathy as he edged toward him and laid down
the daily reports on the giant desk. It was already littered with the opened and unopened piles of
envelopes, some held down by a half finished cup of coffee while the rest had accumulated
everywhere else. The second just placed it in the middle of the mess and turned around to look at
the screen and his superior.
Majhana lit a cigarette and held the box up to his guest. The second, or Hanaku as was his
informal name, shook his head and the general placed it back in the concealed pocket of his robe.
He never smoked unless he was worried, and even if he knew how bad it was to his health, there
were other matters to attend to. He opened his dry lips for just a second as he asked, "So, how are
the scans?"
"The outer planets are still in close contact, and so far they see nor feel anything strange
for the moment," Hanaku answered. The general seemed to breath a little easier at his words.
"But," he added in with a sad tone, "One of the countries to the south has lost communication
with us. I hate and fear to know what the satellites will bring back in two hours." And then, the
general's mood dropped once again as he resumed to staring out into space.
'I wonder if we will be next,' Majhana thought inwardly. It seemed that every single day a
new planet lost its communication with Kinmoku, and then when the scans came, there were
nothing but a few fragments of the planet's core. The rumors had already swept into the cities
and towns where the people only now spoke of the rising doom, and what to do if it came. Pity
that they had so much faith in the Crown and in the armies, and how they always thought that
everything was in control. How wrong they were, for not even the princess and her powers could
stand against what was surely to come. He took another puff of his cigarette and watched as the
smoke seeped out of his mouth and into the air. Just seeing it made him visualize the smoke of a
million fires wiping across his planet as they destroyed everything they held dear.
Hanaku watched his mentor with a pang of guilt over what this man was feeling. After
all, it seemed as the entire fate of the planet Kinmoku rested on his shoulders. He placed one of
his smooth hands on the shoulder of the worn man as a sign of encouragement and then left the
room with other matters to help life go on.

A shadowy figure sat on a golden throne in a lone and vast room, looking over the
starseeds that she had come to possess. Of what little light there was, it made the crystals sparkle
with an unearthly beauty, all of which made them so valuable. Yet, the starseeds were not needed
for their value and beauty at all. No, these crystals held the power of a senshi of a planet, one
who had protected the home it had been born to with loyalty and strength that no other normal
human being could contain.
This holder though was not a mere mortal, however. For she who held these crystals was
also a holder, but a powerful one at that. These tokens which she had traveled through many
galaxies to conquer only helped her power grow even stronger, and when every single one was
collected, it would make her the supreme ruler of the universe.
Right now, in another dimension from which she resided, she and her minions would take
yet another starseed, or maybe several, depending on the population and size of the solar system.
Laid down before her were two possibilities, a powerful kingdom by the name of Kinmoku, and
an unheard colony of the old Moon Kingdom known as Earth. She was trying to weigh the
options carefully, for screwing up could mean her life and the power she had come to know so
well.
Kinmoku was the one that she knew best. Up to date, the only known starseeds on the
planet numbered four, one belonging to the princess, while the other three resided with her
protectors. Even though the princess and her guardians were rumored to be very strong and
powerful, this was just merely a bluff in the face of the most powerful senshi. She chuckled with
that thought; maybe she ought to attack that one first.
But, the other planet Earth, seemed to be a very rewarding conquest. Just hearing that the
planet possessed ten starseeds was enough for Galaxia to show a little interest, since few planets
she had come across reaped such rewards. And besides, as an even greater token, was that the
fabled crystal of old that had been talked about in millions of years past had awoken again inside
the body of the only remaining heir to the throne of the Moon Kingdom. With that, Galaxia could
collect the rest of the universe with relative ease. Oh how that crystal made her want to head over
there now.
Galaxia decided to reside with one final scan of the two planets before she made an
impacting choice. She had a feeling that neither would be too hard, though she was having
second thoughts over Earth. Already she was considering that maybe she still needed more
experience before facing off with such an object of immense power, but then her pride managed
to say otherwise. She would wait until the scans, she told herself.

General Majhana had still not moved an inch from his spot in front of the giant moniter,
and had no intention of doing so. Someone had delivered him a steaming cup of coffee, but just
like the last one,he used it to hold down more of the paper and envelopes piling his desk. Hanaku
was probably assuring the princess that everything so far was fine, and still no threats had
surfaced as far as they knew.
He worried for the princess. Her mother had left for another galaxy a month ago, and
since a week after her departure, no communication had reached them. The general had went
straight to work on researching the planet, and what he had found saddened him immensely. The
poor princess seemed to be holding up with a sliver of hope for her mother's return, but she
seemed to drop it when she had began to request the seeing of the reports. Princess Kakyuu was
strong, but even she could break under the strains and burdens placed upon her.
In the six hours that had passed when he had last heard about the desolation of another
world, an eerie silence seemed to take over him. Nothing had seemed to happen, as if the great
power was taking a rest or waiting for another chance to strike. But, to him, this power or being
never slept and never seemed to be filled with the great advances that it made. This puzzled
Majhana.
Suddenly, he felt an alien presence coming closer and closer, and his every nerve went off
in warning bells. He scrambled for a computer in the corner and hurriedly brought up several
screens, all showing maps of Kinmoku and its surrounding planets and territories. Together the
total of planets under Kinmoku were three, and were represented by the princess' guards. Though
they were not princesses themselves, they were held with great honor for the duty and power
within themselves that came from their planets. Kakyuu was also a sailor senshi, and the
strongest in the next four galaxies. That was why they had contacts with other kingdoms because
of the power that resided if they brought it together.
So far, the maps showed nothing; not even a small occurrence in the atmosphere. But the
feeling was still there, and it seemed not to go away.
Throughout the palace, others of great power and with strong senses felt the presence as
well. Hanaku was sitting over a list of reports when he felt it, and noticed the princess' eyes open
wide in astonishment in the throne beside his wooden chair. Elsewhere, the three Starlights were
training with more force than usual under the threats of terror, and the one named Sailor
Starhealer felt it first, with the two others right after. The mighty and wise advisor of the arts
inside his locked room also felt it and shook in fear. Never had one such as him had displayed an
act of fear until this moment. Truly something very wrong was surging through the veins of every
single person in Kinmoku.
Most affected, however, was Princess Kakyuu. She had collapsed right in front of the
second-in-command and the entire court of the kingdom, only to see a vision of a strange woman
dressed in gold armor standing before her, with an awful smirk adorning her face. Then, in a
single second she turned away and now Kakyuu felt shaking all over her body. She opened her
eyes to see her friends, the Starlights, and Hanaku with the doctor and the whole court. Sitting
up, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief as she took the offered hand of Hanaku's and was
led back to the soft cushion of the throne.
She looked at everyone around her and waved the court away with a smile of assurance,
and then turned to Hanaku and the Starlights. "Oh, I saw a strange vision," she quietly explained
to them, and each of the members had much concern. Each and everyone of them felt close to the
sixteen year old princess in some way, and thus were immensely worried.
"Should we call Godilini?," Sailor Starfighter asked. The raven-haired leader of the trio
was referring to the most powerful weaver of the arts, who was known for explaining the
meanings of visions and dreams throughout the kingdom. But, the answer from her princess was
a mere shake of the head.
Hanaku tried next, since he hated the suspense and the quiet of the one he held dear.
"Then please tell us what happened," he tenderly asked.
Kakyuu took a deep breath. "All I saw was a woman in a gold senshi outfit before me
with the most awful of smiles, and then she turned and walked away," she recollected, and then
stared at the marble floor.
****
It was decided. This was one of the hardest choices for Galaxia to make, but she finally
decided upon Earth. As she had inspected the scans, more often she had begun to doubt taking
over, but when she saw that the Sailor Senshi of the planet were already engaged in a war
already, she saw it as a chance to strike. Why not confront them when they were tired and about
to die instead of do the work yourself?
Still, Galaxia's nature wouldn't let her walk off with at least sending a little terror down
the spines of the Kinmokians. So, she made them at least feel her overpowering presence and
even give the young princess a welcome greeting from her soon to be assassin. Now, she set her
sights on Earth and those ten starseeds that would help her cause even more.
