Sailor Moon D : Destiny Approaches

Author Note: Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing well. This is my revised version of this story. I originally wrote it in 2000 and decided it needs a lot of work. The grammatical and plot errors just didn't seem worthy of true fan fiction anymore. I can't believe I let this story sit for so long. I have almost every chapter finished and even have a lot of the sequel done. Time to get posting! Please Review!
Disclaimer: You know the drill…I do not own any of the original characters of Sailor Moon. Terra and a few others characters to be introduced later are of my own creation. Please ask if you would like to use them in your own stories.
Finally on to the story!
Sailor Moon D: Destiny Approaches
~ Prologue~
It has been four years since the sailor scouts defeated Galaxia and it has been peaceful ever since. After a year of peace Serena decided that it was time for the scouts to focus on building normal lives for themselves rather than protecting her when there was no danger. The separation had already begun but she was the only one who noticed. Three years before at the temple was when Serena decided it was time.
~ Flashback: Three Years Ago ~
Amy, Lita, Raye, Mina, and Serena were all sitting at the temple playing games and talking; as the others were laughing Amy looked up from her book after a realization hit her.
"Hey guys, do you realize it's been a year to the day since we defeated Galaxia?" Amy said nonchalantly.
All of them looked at her as if she was crazy. It couldn't have been a year. It seemed like yesterday Serena was fighting for their lives and her own. Mina was the first to speak "Time sure flies."
"Not even one attack since then." Raye was still looking through comic books. No one was really paying attention to the conversation until Serena spoke. "Is it possible that Galaxia was the last…".
Lita answered "…of the negaverse, I doubt it. They're probably waiting for us to let our guard down."
"I have a feeling that Serena may be right." Luna said annoyed by Lita's interruption.
Artemis followed up "We've checked with central control over a dozen times and have found no traces of nega energy anywhere."
Serena thought for several moments then decided to speak. "Then I think its time we go our separate ways."
Everyone looked up from what they were doing. Amy was about to argue "Serena…"
Once again Lita interrupted "We can't…"
Serena interrupted her "Why not?"
"We're the sailor scouts. It's our job to protect you and Darien." Raye said, giving Serena a look disbelief.
"Protect us from what? There is no danger. You just heard Artemis say it, no nega energy anywhere. It is time for you guys to focus on your lives."
Serena looked to all of them. They knew she was serious by the look in her eyes. Luna spoke up "Yes, you girls deserve peace."
~ End Flashback ~
After they graduated from high school and still no sight danger, they accepted that it must be over and they could split up. About a week after graduation, Mina's agent called her from America and said that a soap opera in New York wanted her for a part. They would pay all expenses and for formal acting school. After thinking about it for a while she decided to go for it.
Amy went to school in Germany and was studying to become a doctor.
Lita decided to backpack across Europe for a while. After a little over a month she decided to settle in Paris to work in a French bakery and go to culinary school.
After her grandfather passed away Raye stayed in Tokyo to run the temple and continue her training as a priestess.
Serena remained in Tokyo also. About a month after graduation, she moved in with Darien, along with Luna and Artemis who finally gave into their feelings and became a couple.
To everyone's surprise, except Darien's, Serena enrolled in a community college and began to study fashion. After a part time job he took, Darien decided to shift his degree focus from medicine to TV Production. He finished his BA and worked as an assistant at WJDN Tokyo. He and Serena were happier than ever even though he knew she missed the girls more than she would ever admit.
Serena was happy that everyone was living normal lives for once but because of those normal lives they all lost touch with each other. They missed each other terribly but each of them was happy with the path they chose even if it wasn't all together.
Little did they know it was all about to change. In a dark corner of the moon in a black marble palace a woman was talking with an advisor. Her face was covered by shadow but a black satin gown could be seen in the dim light as well as long raven hair. She held a long staff made of the same black marble as the palace. On top of the staff was a place for something not yet known. After the advisor left she stood and walked to her balcony. She was bathed in what little light there was and her face could be seen clearly. She looked to be in her early twenties but she was indeed much older than that. Her eyes were a bright emerald green. One look into them and you could see the ages she had lived through waiting for her revenge. Now it was time. Suddenly there was a bright flash of black light and a small piece of black crystal was floating before her, it spoke in hypnotic tones "Hello, Terra."
"Who are you?." she answered.
"I am called "The Wiseman"."
"Wiseman? I was informed by my earth advisor you had been destroyed by sailor moon."
"She destroyed my body yes but did not completely destroy the crystal, this small piece survived. I have been trapped, linked to the crystal all these years waiting for a competent soul."
"You have come to the right woman. I have waited in the ranks for my chance for over a thousand years."
"The scouts are vulnerable I can feel it. Now is the time to attack. Take this crystal and receive your full power once more."
Terra reached her hand out and took the crystal. An aura of black surrounds her and she laughs as she is taken into the air and feels her power coming back to her. Her staff also glows black. The black crystal takes its place on top of it. On her forehead the symbol of the black negaverse family appears. She is returned to the ground and opens her eyes. "The power, it has been so long, too long since I have felt this strong. I will finally be able to accomplish what so many before me did not."
She raised her hands and a foggy globe appeared before her. Wiseman spoke again "The small crystal on your staff has enough power to bring back five of sailor moon's enemies. Unfortunately it can only be done by one with a pure soul that once was dark."
A thought struck Terra and she closed her eyes. The crystal disappeared from her staff. She watched as the globe changed and was showing a secluded area of Tokyo park where the crystal landed. It laid waiting for it's pray to come and make one destructive wish.
