So, this is my fist story and everything. I actually had most of it all planned out, written and everything, but then...I added a new character. Soon, another new character. Then, a new plot. Soon, all of the characters I had that were all planned out got a new life, a new look, and a new way of seeing things. :P Oh, my overactive imagination... :DD I hope you enjoy it! Let's give a summary first though...
One year after Chaos left Galaxia's body, the sailor senshi have a new enemy. And also some new allies. However, what happens when those allies are thought to be part of the enemies group because they refuse to show their identities to the sailor soldiers? Even Sailor Moon refuses them into the group. Setsuna has a secret though, a secret that's bound to get out sometime. She knows who these new senshi are and refuses to tell the others. The new enemy, who happens to be a magenta pigtailed girl named Kurami, is trying to look for the six golden souls with her gruesome, yet weak, youmas tagging along. She has a horrible grudge against Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen for some reason and also seems to have anger problems. While said that her youmas aren't strong, it doesn't mean that they get off easy. The senshi are losing their powers, all starting with Sailor Pluto.
While all of this is going on, Rei's cousin Umeko Asakura moves in after losing her mom in a tragic murder. After a day or two she comes to her grandfather wanting to keep two little corgis she was given by a mysterious redhead named Amelia. She meets three other girls after Amelia named Sunny, Amame, and Miyako. What no one knows is that these girls make up the new sailor senshi everyone's talking about and they are the only ones who can stop Kurami from stealing everyone's souls.

I made all the other characters up...so they belong to me! :D
The stars shown brightly, twinkling in the sky as Usagi lay in her bed, the sheets sprawled about in a messy nature. She was snoring so loud that anyone who entered the room would've wondered how Luna could sleep in such an environment.
It had been exactly one year ever since Galaxia tried to take over the Earth and there had been no danger, no trouble ever since. Luna and Artemis did take precautions, however, and upgraded the girls henshin's into Eternal forms right after Sailor Moon stopped Galaxia.
But now a new enemy was in line to make life harsh for the Sailor Senshi.
Several centuries in the future, a war raged on between stars and planets. It all started when King Endymion doubted that his first child, supposed to be the Princess of the Earth, wasn't his at all. He banished her away to a neighboring star called Peacius and refused to even speak her name. The Little Lady, Chibiusa, was soon born and the galaxy relaxed as King Endymion knew that the child was his.
During this time, the great Time war between a race called the Time Lords and a race called Daleks raged on a planet deemed Gallifrey. After a man who called himself The Doctor stopped the war, singlehandedly, he fled in his time machine called the TARDIS. He claims that he's the only kind of his race left, but what he didn't know was that the Princess of that planet had fled to the Peacius star, so he wasn't alone. Her nickname, Red, was the only thing she took with her.
Before long, King Endymion grew angry at a Kinmoku warrior named Kou Taiki. She had been helping out the banished member of the Moon Kingdom, Princess Rosalina, who had been residing on the Peacius Star. Soon, all of his anger diminished as he realized he had been foolish to be mad in the first place. But, that anger returned when the Star Columba tried to become friends with the Earth and Moon Kingdoms. He claimed that they treated their earth like a piece of trash, making it all virtual and stuffy with buildings and roads. He blew out his last straw when he began feeling attracted to the Queen of the Sun Kingdom and decided to start a war with all of his problems.
He invaded the Sun Kingdom first, killing their Queen. However, he didn't expect them to bounce back with a fully quipped new, optimistic Queen, named Harmony. Deciding to start smaller, he went to Peacius and struck terror there, making a few people flee, including the Princess Rosalina and the Princess Red, while more than half of the population died. They all headed to the Columba star, where they held a solid friendship. Their refuge there didn't last long when the King decided to strike there next. So, while more than half of the population died like before, only the Queen of Columba, the Princess Red and the Princess Rosalina, not to mention the Queen's sister, Princess Sayomi, fled the star.
They all fled to the Sun Kingdom, the largest star kingdom there was. And, this is where we reside now with a small little girl named Setsuko, Princess of the Sun Kingdom.
Setsuko stood in the ball room of her kingdom as everyone danced. It was all too confusing for her and she had already claimed that she refused to dance.
"I'm not going to learn to dance, Mom! I won't be too good at it anyways..." Setsuko cried as she tried to show her mom she wouldn't do any good at the dance she was trying to learn. He mom had gotten her the finest of teachers to show her how, but they didn't dance well together. If she were going to put any effort in a dance, she was going to do it with someone she could dance with.
Her mother sighed, wishing her daughter could take some initiative to do something. She always moped around, waiting for the war to wipe them out. However, her mother was the exact opposite. She did everything with a perfection and was optimistic about everything. She was a good mother, though. She supported her daughter in everything that she did, regardless of what she, as a mother, wanted. Well, except she never let he daughter do anything wrong, like go on a killing spree.
So, Setsuko got out of the dancing practice.
Setsuko shook her head at the mere thought of her, dancing away with some immature child. She walked back up the stairs swiftly, her long navy blue hair covering her face, not noticing the figure following after her.
"I don't understand why Mom even has these stupid parties. She knows that the Sun Kingdom's going to have to flee. And, then, Kinmoku is going to get the bearing of this war." Setsuko muttered as she walked through the long and spacious halls of the kingdom. Everything was so Sunny inside the kingdom. Every nook and every cranny. It made Setsuko shudder with disgust.
She stopped in front of the large beautiful doors with the name 'Setsuna' carved into them. When the people carved the door they messed her name up. Setsuko told them not to fix it because she liked the idea that no one knew it was her.
Walking into her room, it was the exact opposite of the rest of the sunny apparel. Blues and purples and slivers rested everywhere. She had the windows bordered up so there was no light except for the ceiling lights. She liked it that way. She threw herself on her comfy bed and sighed, knowing her mother wouldn't disturb her. It wasn't that she didn't want to be princess or love her mother, but it was just that she didn't think she was suitable for the crown of the sun. If she liked darkness, how was she ever going to be the ruler of eternal light and hope?
"I wish...I could change." Setsuko whispered into the still of the room.
"I...can help that." A voice answered.
Setsuko jumped up to see the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, excluding her mother. She recognized the woman as the enemy and Queen of the moon kingdom.
"Oh, Queen Serenity. You're the enemy." Setsuko said blandly, flopping back down on the bed.
"I see you really don't care about that fact...?" The older woman asked.
"No, not really. I know that some of the Moon Kingdom may be after us, but I know it's really the Earth Kingdom controlling them. Plus, aren't you, like, dead? It's your daughter on the throne now." She informed.
Queen Serenity laughed.
"I'm well aware of that. I heard I have a granddaughter, Chibiusa. Have you met her? She's about your age."
"I'm not allowed to see her. Her mother won't allow it." Setsuko responded in an instant, her magenta eyes darkening.
"I came here because I very much disagree with this war between fellow kingdoms. And I know the Sun Kingdom didn't start it. It's too peaceful." Queen Serenity started.
"Yeah, it all started because King Endymion didn't believe that his eldest daughter was his. Princess Rosalina." Setsuko said.
"She isn't." Queen Serenity informed.
Setsuko's eyes widened.
"She isn't?"
"No. I remembered that, before I died, I gave my daughter powers to...manipulate things. The real father of Princess Rosalina is-" A loud scream from downstairs broke into Queen Serenity's sentence and a sudden sound of a sword slicing someone in two echoed through the walls.
"They'll be here for you soon. What I wanted to say was that I need you to come back to the future with me. I'll make you the Princess of another kingdom, one that suits you. I need you to stop this war, Princess. It's up to you." Queen Serenity pleaded.
"What if I say no?" Setsuko asked.
"Then you life and your mother's life ends tonight. If you come, I'll send your mother down to the past, on Earth, and she'll be safe. You'll be there too, but you'll be older than her. And, you won't know it's her."
"But, she'll be safe. And the Queens from Peacius, Gallifrey, and Columba, too? What about our guardians?" Setsuko asked.
"Yes, all of them will be sent to Earth. And, they'll all meet up when the time is right, I promise." Queen Serenity promised.
Setsuko hesitated for a moment.
"...alright, Queen. And, I'm forever in your debt." She bowed a little.
"Alright then, it's settled. Now, take my hand." Queen Serenity held her hand out, waiting for the young girl to take it.
'I may never see my mother again.' Setsuko thought as she was inches away from the older woman's hand.
Right before she took it, the figure which followed her into the room emerged from the shadows and shot a beam at Setsuko which, literally, ripped her in half. There she sat on the bed, her eyes blank, her hand now in Queen Serenity's, but two other little girls who were identical held on, too. They had magenta hair in pigtails and were holding onto each other.
"Setsuko!" A voice screamed from outside in the hallway, echoing into the room.
A dark laughter shook the whole kingdom as the castle crumbled.
Suddenly, Setsuko's body was wrapped in a silver light and her hair grew longer in the shade of a forest green. Her magenta eyes were now a red color. Her pale skin grew tan and her body grew in height. She was a grown woman now.
"Your new name is Setsuna, Princess of Pluto and guardian of the Time Gate. Your family will be safe, along with the other Queens of the sisters to this kingdom. They will be sent to Earth, the Earth in the past. You will be safe too and apart of the Outer Senshi. Agreed?" Queen Serenity asked.
Setsuko opened her now red eyes.
"Yes, Queen Serenity. Agreed."
"Setsuko!" Her mother, Queen Harmony of the Sun Kingdom, shouted, running towards Setsuko's room. Her voice echoed down the halls; her dirty blonde hair flowing behind her as she dashes. Kicking off her heels, she ran faster, her crown falling to the ground. Right before she reached the elegant doors, her heart stopped. A flash of bright yellow light engulfed her and she felt herself starting to sleep. Every memory, every name she knew, escaped her and she grew smaller...and smaller.
"SETSUKO!" She shouted, opening her tired, teal eyes.
But, when she did, she was in a hospital room, her mother holding her in her arms. All she made were little goo-ing noises that made her mother squeal. She was a new born now. Harmony fell to sleep again, this time, her memories fully leaving her altogether.
