Sailor Moon: Hero Unlimited 1 – By DS Wynne

Disclaimer: "Sailor Moon", "Star Trek", and "Justice League Unlimited" belong to their respective owners.

Note: This is a multi-genre story.

Special note: This is a side story of the "Sailor Moon/Star Trek" saga, featuring the exploits of Usagi ("Sailor Moon") Tsukino's older self, Usashinko Rantsu, of the former daimyo clan "Rantsu" (whose family estate is in Hokkaido, Japan). More on that will be featured in "Sailor Moon: Journey's End" (Coming SOON).

Part One: "Prologue"

Hokkaido, Japan.

Mrs. Usashinko Rantsu (or "Usagi" to her friends) was tending to her gardens. Ever since her younger-self and her friends had went back to the future, Usagi was in a state of thoughtful introspection. She was still contemplating on how to approach Mamoru ("Tuxedo Mask") Chiba with her idea of renewing their relationship. Already, she has been in contact with the Sailor Scouts, though she had to behave as if she was NOT over 5000 years old. Nowadays, it has been an effort to not feel so…seasoned. One thing is for sure, however: Ranma Saotome was OFF LIMITS. She loved the Ranma with all of her heart and soul, but he needed to be with his "true" fiancé now.

Besides, it was nice that Ranma's fiancé was the reincarnation of her best friend Princess Eowyn, who lived right around the Third Age of "Middle Earth". Middle Earth existed 6000 years ago, which was also the Bronze Age in human years. Regardless, it was nice to know that Eowyn would get her happiness after all.

While Usagi was in deep thought, she sensed the presence of potent energy signature. She recognized the source of the signature, and smiled.

"Hello, Clark," Usagi said, as she turned her head, and sat down her garden tools.

Superman landed gently to the ground, wearing his traditional blue/red outfit with "S" shield.

"You know me so well, Usagi," Superman said, as he went to hug his former wife.

"Of course I do, Clark," Usagi chided. "You know better than THAT to doubt my power of deduction."

Usagi went to get a sip from her bottle water, as she took off her sun hat.

"So, what's up?" Usagi asked.

"Bruce and I want to reform the League."

"I'm surprised," Usagi replied. "I never thought thatBruce had a sense of humor."

"Actually, he was serious about it. After what happened with the Thanagarians, we need to be a bit more proactive."

Usagi closes her eyes a bit. As "Sailor Moon", she has fought alongside with Superman for years, ever since he made his debut in Metropolis. They even served on the same team together, both as honorary members of the Justice Society of America back in WW II, and as founding members of the Justice League of America, after the White Martians tempted to take over the Earth, by rendering it defenseless. The League had many success over the years, culminating in the near-take over of the Earth by the Thanagarians, with the help of Hawkgirl. The end result was the destruction of the Watch Tower and the disbanding of the League.

That was a few months ago. And now…

"When does Bruce want to do this?" Usagi asked. "And does he need financial support?"

Superman looks at Usagi quizzically.

"You always like to rub in the fact that you have a bigger wallet than he does, huh?"

Usagi smiled.

"Hey, I've been married enough times to get quite a nest egg."

"Ha, ha. Anyway, we can always use as much help as possible."

"Kewl!"

Usagi picks up her things.

"If you want to come in for lunch, you'd best change."

"Right," Superman said, as he perform a spin. When he stopped, he was in his 'Clark Kent' look."

"Make those meatloaf sandwiches you use to make," Clark said with a smile.

"Hey, make it yourself, ya big lug!"

Six months later…

The JLA Watch Tower was an orbital station with a full staff of "Non-Metas". Unlike the previous tower, which Batman used to destroy the Thanagarian base in the Middle East, during the invasion, the new one was much bigger, and had better technology. The original members of the Justice League pooled their resources to build the new tower.

And now…

BRRRRRRING!

John Stewart, Earth's present "Green Lantern", and Oliver "Green Arrow" Queen beams aboard the stations.

"I told you, John!' 'Arrow complained. "I don't want to rejoin the League!"

"Well, perhaps we can change your mind," 'Lantern replied, as the two stepped off the transporter pad.

And then, 'Arrow saw HER.

It was Sailor Moon, the one woman that never fell for his charms…but always drove him forward to try harder to woo her. Moon was dressed her sailor fuku…tailored to that of a young woman of 19 years of age.

"Yes," 'Moon said, as she gave 'Arrow a peck on 'Arrow's right cheek. "I really hope that WE change your mind…Oliver."

Superman simply shook his head, as the rest of the original League members looked on.

"Sigh," Superman began. "Welcome to the NEW Justice League".

'Arrow looks at the assembled area, and was amazed that the Justice League was able to get nearly EVERYONE to join this new…"unlimited" League.

Tbc.
