At the Beginning
Chapter 1: From the Beginning
During the time of the Silver Millennium in the Moon Kingdom that housed Queen Serenity and her daughter, Princess Serenity. They were protected by the Princess's friends, the Sailor Scouts, all princesses from their own home planets. The kingdom had been peaceful for thousands of years, no wars no problems of any kind. Yet, the queen knew that the silence could not last much longer and she needed to be sure that her daughter and her friends would be protected and would receive all the help they could get.
Inside the kingdom, a little black cat with a yellow crescent moon on her forehead was sitting patiently at the bottom of the steps. "Serenity, are you coming?" she asked the princess impatiently.
"Yes, yes, I'm coming, Luna. You don't need to rush me," the young woman answered sounding clearly irritated with the cat.
Princess Serenity walked down the stairs, her waist-length blond hair tied in pigtails swayed, and her pale blue dress flowed around her as her ballet flats made a soft pit pat on the stairs. "It's quiet," Serenity commented, looking around curiously. She crossed her arms over her chest. "Where's my mother?' she asked.
"I believe she is in her study, she said something about guests coming today," Luna replied.
Serenity frowned. "Guests? Mother never mentioned anything about guests," she murmured before making her way to her mother's study.
Making her way down the hall with her cat running behind her, Serenity stood in front of the large oak door and knocked. "Come in," Queen Serenity answered. The queen looked up as her daughter entered the room. "Serenity, I thought you would be going to the kitchens to get your lunch," the Queen said with a slight smile.
"Luna said that we are expecting company?" she asked.
Her mother nodded as she had her daughter sit down in front of her desk. "I am inviting 5 warriors from Earth to come to the castle," Serenity said to her daughter.
"But…why? We already have plenty of protection with the Sailor Scouts here," Serenity insisted.
"They are our allies from the Ancient. We had agreed that it would be best if we had just a little more protection," Serenity answered.
Serenity frowned, playing with the ribbon on her dress. "Serenity, don't fidget," Serenity scolded her daughter lightly.
"Sorry," Serenity answered, her cheeks flushing, "When are they coming?"
"Soon, why don't you go with your friends and I will inform you all when they arrive?" Serenity suggested.
Serenity nodded as she got up and left the study.
Making her way out to the gardens, she smiled to see her friends as well as her guards sitting around talking and laughing. "Hi!" she called to her friends excitedly.
"Hi, Serenity, we were expecting you to be in the kitchens yet," Princess Jupiter of Jupiter quipped a she stood up.
Her chocolate brown hair was tied up in a high ponytail and she had on a light green dress that was flowing and had a dark green sash around her waist. On her forearms were two gold cuffs that had the sign of Jupiter on them.
Serenity smiled softly as she sat down. "I'm not really hungry," she admitted, "Did you hear that my mother has invited people from Earth?"
"Really? Who?" Princess Mars of Mars asked as she sat beside her friend.
She had waist-length black hair, a single red carnation sat in her hair, a pink gown, and on her right hand was a ring that had the Mars symbol in the middle of it.
The Moon Princess smiled at her friend. "My mother said they were warriors, she said something about needing extra protection," she answered.
"I'm sure it's just a precaution, you know your mother she only wants to be sure everyone is happy and safe," Princess Venus of Venus stated.
She had waist-length blond hair, a simple orange bow was tied in the back, and had on a light orange gown. Around her neck was a gold chain that had a pendant that had the Venus symbol on it.
The princess smiled softly at her friends. "It never does hurt to have an extra pair of eyes," Princess Mercury of Mercury commented.
She pushed her fingers through her short blue hair and then she straightened the invisible wrinkles in her flowing light blue gown. On her left wrist was a bracelet that had the Mercury symbol on it.
Princess Serenity listened to what her friends had to say and nodded her head slowly in agreement. "I guess you're right, a little help never hurts. Even though I don't understand why, there hasn't been a war in centuries," she pointed out.
"No, but your mother has been worried. She spends an awful lot of time in her study these days," Luna stated as she sat beside a white cat with the same crescent moon on his forehead.
He was Venus's faithful companion, Artemis. The two felines glanced at each other before looking at the group of girls. "So when should we expect them?" Jupiter asked curiously.
"I'm not sure, mother said they were coming she didn't say when," Serenity answered as she held a lock of hair in her hand.
The four other girls glanced at each other, curious about these warrior that were coming. If the Queen was asking for more help, then it might be worse than they had thought. Lately the Queen had been acting as though something horrible was going to happen at any moment.
The Queen entered her throne room, waiting patiently for the kingdom's new protectors would arrive. Looking up from a sound outside, she went out to investigate.
Making her way down the stone steps, she was relieved to see five young men all knelt on the ground having just transported to the Moon Palace. "Arise my friends," she told them smiling softly. The five of them stood up at her request. "Which one of you is Ryo of Wildfire?" she asked.
"That would be me," the young man standing at the front replied.
He had shoulder-length jet black hair, blue eyes, he was wearing black boots, a pair of black breeches, and red tunic over a white shirt, and a long jacket that was red with gold lining around it. He bowed respectfully to the Queen. "It is an honor, Queen Serenity," he told her.
"The honor is mine, I am grateful that Prince Endymion allowed you to come," she stated.
"No disrespect, my queen, but we don't really serve the Earth Prince. We serve Earth," one of the other young men stated, earning an elbow from his companion beside him.
The young man who spoke up had short ash colored hair with dark blue eyes, he had on black boots, black breeches, and an orange tunic over a white shirt, and his long jacket was orange with gold lining. Surrounding his head was a gold headband that had the symbol of Justice in the middle of it.
His companion had shoulder-length auburn colored hair, sea green eyes, wearing the same outfit as his two companions only his tunic was light blue and jacket was light blue with sea green lining going through it.
The Queen stared at him curiously. "And you are young man?" she asked.
"Shu of Hardrock," he replied as he immediately bowed before the Moon Queen.
She looked over at Shu's companion who joined his friend in bowing to her. "Shin of the Torrent, my lady," he told her his voice showing a heavy British accent.
"Please, please rise, I insist we are all friends here," Serenity insisted lightly with a soft smile.
Ryo just smirked at his two companions as the Queen stood in front of the last of his friends.
One had short blond hair, indigo eyes, and a lock of his blond hair hung over his right eye. His tunic was green as was his jacket but it had white lining going through it.
The second had short blue hair, dark blue eyes, a navy blue headband was wrapped around his head, keeping the pieces of his blue hair from his eyes. His tunic was dark blue while his jacket was also dark blue with near black lining going through it.
The blond man bowed lightly to her. "Sage of the Halo," he told her, his voice was light but showed authority.
"Touma of Strata," his companion answered, "It is an honor, Queen Serenity."
Serenity smiled as she looked at the five young men that stood in her courtyard. "I am grateful that you are all here," she said smiling, "Come inside, we have much to talk about."
The five young men followed her inside. "Wow, what a place," Shu commented.
"Shu, could you be any more obvious about who we do or don't work for?" Touma asked curiously.
"What? We don't serve the Prince, never had, never will. The Ancient sent us on this quest," Shu answered simply.
Shin shook his head slowly, letting out a sigh as they followed the Moon Queen through the castle.
Entering her library, she had the guards close the doors and asked them to stand guard so no one would disturb them. "There has been a growing threat over the last several years since my daughter's birth. I am afraid that an old enemy will come and try to release my prisoner, Meteria," she told the five of them.
"She's been in the dungeons since before any of us were even born. Who would even know how to free her?" Ryo asked curiously.
"I am unsure, because the prison is enchanted and only I can go down with this," she told them.
She showed them the keys that were to open the prison far below the Moon Kingdom. "It is a chance I am not willing to take, I need all the help I can get. I asked the Prince to send his best five warriors, he sent me you," she added.
"We serve to protect the universe," Touma stated simply, "You have nothing to worry about."
The Queen smiled softly, seeing that these five warriors, even though as young as her daughter and her protectors, they were willing to put their lives on the line to protect the universe. "Good," she murmured softly, "I don't want any of this leaving this room. I don't want to worry my daughter or her friends."
"Your secret is safe with us," Sage assured her lightly.
"Good, with that being said, I should introduce you to my daughter and the Scouts," Serenity stated.
The girls were outside, laughing and enjoying each other's company when Serenity entered the gardens. "My lady," the Scouts greeted before bowing to her.
"Girls, rise, please," Serenity insisted making the girls get to their feet.
She smiled at the five of them, her hands clasped in front of her. "Some guests have arrived that I would like to introduce you do," she stated. She looked over her shoulder. "These are the Warriors from Earth who are here to help protect the Moon Kingdom," she added.
Having the men take a step forward, she gestured to each one. "Ryo of the Wildfire, Sage of the Halo, Shin of the Torrent, Shu of Hardrock, and Touma of Strata. The Earth Prince has told me they are the best he has with protection," she stated.
"An honor to meet all of you," Sage told them, but his eyes were glued to Jupiter who was staring back at him with wide eyes.
Jupiter cleared her throat, clasping her hands in front of her. "I am Princess Jupiter of Jupiter," she stated. Mercury was staring at Shin, her cheeks flushing when their eyes locked onto each other.
"Princess Mercury of Mercury," she said bashfully.
Venus could see Shu eyeing her and a smirk appeared on her face. "Princess Venus of Venus," she stated with a smirk. Mars looked over at Ryo, her heart picking up the pace a little when their eyes locked onto each other.
"Princess Mars of Mars," Mars told them, "I have to say it'll be interesting to have ten than just five protectors of the realm."
"We will try to stay out of your way," Ryo answered simply.
Princess Serenity was staring at the last warrior that was just standing there silently. "I am Princess Serenity," she finally said as Touma bowed lowly to her with his friends.
"The stories I have heard of you don't do you justice, my lady," Touma said simply, making her cheeks turn red.
"You don't need to bow to me, truly," she insisted, making them stand back up again.
The Queen smiled to see an instant connection the girls had to the warriors. "The ten of you can learn more about each other later, I should show them to their rooms and let them settle in," she stated. They nodded in agreement.
"Well, this might not be so bad after all," Venus commented making the other girls smirk.
