Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon : SR

All characters in this fanfic belong to Toei Animation, Naoko Takeuchi, and Cloverway Inc. Except for the ones I made up of course :P Well anywho, read and enjoy. Oh and drop me a review too ;)

-Prolouge - Zodia's Past-

...The fog clears. It is a desolate land, barren rock and dust. In the middle of a deep valley is what remains of the Starlight Tower. A breeze blows through the cracked walls of the tower, the bottom half still slightly intact.

'Your Majesty..' says a woman's voice.

'Virada..' croaks another.

A tall, slender woman dressed in a torn and dirty black dress stands beside a broken and beaten chair, standing a top a small platform inside the tower.

'My Majesty please, just hold on.' Virada cries, begging. The other woman, who is sitting in the chair, sighs.

'Virada, I cannot hold on much longer. If she does not get her soon... I shall die.'

'No!' gasps Virada, jumping up and stepping back. 'You cannot die! You are the only one who can save our race, Queen Zodia!' The Queen begins to weep softly.

'If they had not have been so hostile... our land might have survived.'

'But your Majesty... there is still hope, isn't there?' whimpers Virada, her eyes brimming with tears.

...The Queen's head falls forward.

'Majesty! Queen Zodia!' Virada screams, shaking the figure hunched over in the chair. 'Please! Wake up!'

...Silence.

Author's Note: Yes, I understand the writing style of this part is a little off. I tried to write this part a bit different from the rest of the story. I guess to make sure you continue to read this, I will assure you the following things:

1. This will NOT be a cliche Sailormoon fanfic. There will be no new Sailor Senshi, there will be no Zodiac baddies, etc. All that happens in this story is original.

2. This Fanfic will definitely stay along the lines of the original Japanese series, not the dub. But there will be some times were a senshi's attack name will be that of the dubbed version, solely because I couldn't find the original attack name ANYWHERE.

3.There will be absolutely NO 'Nega' slang so popular in the dub. Examples: 'NegaVerse', 'Whut up Dawg' or 'Kewlness'. *shudders*
