PROLOGUE
Sailor Pluto observed her surroundings and sighed. "Another quiet day in the underworld and at the time gates." She had lost count of how many days she had been alone years ago. She wanted to be with her princess, but she had a new life and was leading it well.
Sailor Pluto was a little sad that Serenity hadn't met any of her Senshi yet and the girl was pretty much a loner all apart from a young girl with reddish hair and green eyes.
The most heartbreaking thing was Serenity had friends who loved her very much, she just wished every day that she could be at her princess' side.
Suddenly Sailor Pluto got a twist in her heart and she knew Serenity or one of the Senshi was in trouble. She ran to the time stream and saw her worst fears come true, her princess was hiding in her cupboard as a burglar had forced himself in.
Gunshots were heard in the room next to hers then silence and she came out of the cupboard so she had the room to cry for her baby brother but she muffled her sobs so the burglar wouldn't hear her.
Gunshots were heard in the room opposite to hers then her deaf mother screamed and two more gunshots rang out.
Sailor Pluto knew Serenity was next. She had to do something fast so she teleported directly into Serenity's room.
"Usagi, hide," Sailor Pluto ordered.
"But what about mommy, daddy and Shingo?" the youngster replied with tears in her eyes.
"Usagi, please," Sailor Pluto cried but it was too late the gun roared. The eight year-old girl collapsed into Sailor Pluto's arms, lifeless.
Sailor Pluto let out an anguished sob. "Serenity!" she cried, over and over.
"Ready to die?" the masked man snarled.
"Do it. You have taken everything that was precious to me."
They attacked at the same time, but the masked man was shocked to see a deadly mythical attack heading straight for him. He would not be escaping alive this time. "But magic is not real…" were his last words.
"Next time let me be by her side always." Sailor Pluto was losing blood quickly and was drifting in and out of consciousness.
She used the last ounce of her strength to pull herself painfully to the young dead girl and wrapped her arms around her "I love you Serenity." The world went black.
