The Silver Millenium… A legendary kingdom of the Moon, ruled by the beautiful and mighty queen Serenity, thousands of years ago. This was a time of peace and balance for all the nine planets in the Solar system. This was a time when great and brave heroines were born. Their mission was to protect their birth planets and the Silver Millennium, but also a beautiful blue planet, Earth...

The school bell rang loudly and brought Eriza out of her thoughts. She hadn't thought class would end so soon. While she was trying to bring her mind back to reality, she heard a conversation between her three best friends:

- "It's lunch time! It's lunch time!"

said Andoria, a girl with long red hair bound in a ponytail and with bangs of different colours. Arika, a tall girl with curly brown hair, had an anime sweat drop on her forehead while she replied angrily:

- "That's only thing you're thinking about whole day!"

Andoria turned to her annoyed, squeezing her lunch box in her hands:

- "Look who's talking! You just can't wait until class ends so you can go play basketball!"

Arika was ready to respond when Shantell, a very pretty girl with long blond hair and serious blue eyes, stopped her and said:

- "Do you have to repeat these arguments every single day?! I'm already sick and tired of all that! Now move!"

Said blonde and pointed on classrooms door. Andoria and Arika just glanced at each other angrily and went in different directions. Before she got out of the classroom, Arika has taken a look at Eriza, who was drawing something in her notebook.

- "Eri, do you wanna go with us? We could play one basketball match!"

The girl with long black hair tied in two tiny ponytails on the back side of her head eyed her friend with her pink eyes. Her expression was showing Arika are-you-nuts?!, and then she answered:

- "Me and basketball? I think not. You go, I have to finish something here."

- "You're scribbling again? You know, you're a bit boring, but as you wish! See ya!" said the brunette, spinning basketball ball in her hands.

Eriza just shook her head and started drawing again. She's never gone out during the lunch break, as she felt uncomfortable between the other students, especially because they tease her. She was very short for the average fifteen-year-old girl and her eye colour was pretty unusual for other people. Luckily, her friends have always protected her, but sometimes that really got on Eriza's nerves, especially because she hated to depend on somebody.

- "Last line and... done!"

Well, well, well! I'm speechless again!

Eriza instantly rose her head and glanced at her left shoulder, seeing the spirit of a little girl with hot pink hair tied in two heart-shaped buns on the top of her head. Eriza frowned and said with irritated voice:

- "ChibiChibi, what are you doing here? You couldn't wait until I come home?!"

No, this is much more fun! said the little spirit, jumping around like she was nuts. Eriza lost her patience, which was always the case if ChibiChibi is around. She clutched the pen in her hand and almost growled:

- "If someone sees me talking to myself they will think I'm a total lunatic!It's already enough that my friends think I'm crazy!"

What's the big deal? Everybody already thinks you're crazy, so there's no problem! said ChibiChibi with a giggle, causing Eriza to start wildly driving her away with her hands.

Come on, calm down! You're gonna get wrinkles if you continue to nerve yourself like this!

- "GET LOST ALREADY!" screamed Eriza, noticing that her English teacher is looking at her with wonderment. Eriza blushed and put her head down in embarrassment. This wasn't the first time that this happened. Actually, it has happened almost every day for last four years, since ChibiChibi came into her usually screwed life. After an explosion in her father's laboratory, where Eriza almost died, only she could see that tiny, mysterious, but totally goofy spirit. ChibiChibi lived inside of the little garnet that Eriza wore around her neck, but because of that thing Eriza got some unexplainable powers. Eriza didn't like these powers because they made her even more different than others. Sometimes she had a feeling that even her best friends were afraid of her and that made her much more determined to hide those powers. But the hiding cost her; she stopped expressing her feelings, she became cold and quiet, she didn't trust to anyone...

Who is she? She is so pretty! asked ChibiChibi, pointing to the drawing of a beautiful girl with a long blond hair made up into two buns on top of her head and wearing a long white dress.

- "I don't know, but I've dreamt of her for a while now…"

Eriza turned her head to see ChibiChibi looking very thoughtful, which was pretty strange for her. When Eriza asked what was wrong, ChibiChibi grined and asked:

Can we eat now?

- "A-ha, that's the point! That's the reason why you're bothering me!" said Eriza with an anime sweat drop on her forehead.

Ah, you know me! said the spirit with a giggle. Eriza shook her head and got her lunch box out of her bag. When she opened it, ChibiChibi started to drool as she saw a big tuna sandwich and two donuts with chocolate topping and colourful crumbs.

- "You can take donuts, you know I'm no lover of sweets."

With pleasure! said ChibiChibi, already taking one donut and taking a big bite. Silly spirit, thought Eriza. A little smile showed on her lips, but it disappeared very quickly so ChibiChibi didn't notice it. Although that little spirit was annoying and immature, Eriza get used to her somehow. Her life would be boring without her. Only problem was that her friends didn't believe that ChibiChibi exists at all and that drove Eriza nuts.

Eriza took a look at her drawing, at the eyes of the lovely lady that promised happiness and serenity. Eriza didn't know who she was, but she could swear that she had seen her somewhere before... Eriza just laughed at her silly thoughts and took a sandwich from her lunch box. It was better not to think about it, as it never ends good, especially for her...


- "Looks like I won again!" said Eriza, putting her Duel Monsters deck on the edge of the table after she kicked Arikas butt once more. Just one more class and she will go home. She couldn't wait.

Arika just stared with confusion at her cards, still not believing that she was defeated. Shantell and Andoria giggled because they knew what's gonna happen next.

- "Again?! How?! How?! I was so sure that I will win this time!"

- "Oh really? Eriza can play circles around you!" teased Andoria. Arika peeped out her tongue and put her deck in her bag angrily. When she crossed her hands on her chest, Shantell said:

- "You're a terrible loser, you know?"

When Arika didn't say anything, Eriza smiled tenderly, putting her own deck in her bag. This repeats itself every day: she and Arika would play Duel Monsters during the break, and Shantell and Andoria would tease Arika whenever she lost. After every duel, Arika would swear that she would win the next time, but the outcome was always the same.

When Arika stopped with her fussing, she turned to Eriza, who was preparing herself for the next class, and asked:

- "Will you ever go easy on me? Why must you always be so cruel?"

- "Arika, please…" started Eriza, but Shantell got in her word and stopped her from saying something very rude:

- "Really, Arika! Why would she go easy on you? You will never learn anything if Eri doesn't push you to your limits."

Arika turned her head away angrily, acting offended. At least they avoided the fight which would always ignite whenever Arika loses the duel. Luckily, Andoria and Shantell were now professionals in preventing those fights.

- "Girl, we hadn't been at your place for ages!" said Andoria, sitting on her chair in front of Eriza.

- "True! We could come to your place today! We don't have anything important in school tomorrow so we are free this afternoon."

Eriza just nodded disinterestedly, knowing very well why they want come to her place. Tonight was the broadcast of the finale of the junior Duel Monsters tournament and it's said that King of Games himself will hand over the award to the winner. The girls admired Yugi Muto and they wanted to change Erizas opinion about him, but it didn't work. Maybe he looks cute and innocent on the outside, but Eriza was sure that he had some dark secret, because, let's be real, no one can be that perfect. And as much as you want to hide who you really are, it will show eventually...

- "Then we have a deal! This afternoon at Erizas place!" said Andoria, and Arika joined:

- "Maybe we can play another game so I can finally kick your ass!"

- "Dream on! I have a special surprise for you, my dear!" said Eriza with a vicious smirk.

- "What surprise?!" all three girls asked in confusion. Eriza just leaned on her chair and said with a proud smirk:

- "If I would tell you, than it wouldn't be surprise! But I'll give you a hint. You and I will play with my real deck and no one will save you this time!"

- "What real deck?! Isn't this your deck?!" said Arika in confusion. Eriza just shook her head and said:

- "I used to play with this deck when I was a kid." Arika now looked really frustrated, and Andoria instantly started teasing her:

- "Now you see how good your skills are when a children's deck can beat you!"

- "What do you know?! You don't even know how to play!" yelled Arika, getting up from her chair and getting in Andorias face.

- "Maybe, but I saw how Eri wipes the floor with you!" said Andoria and protruded. Arika did the same, while Shantell and Eriza could only watch with anime sweat drops on their heads.

- "How about we say that we don't know them?" said Eriza. Before Shantelle could answer, the math teacher came into the classroom and stopped the ridiculous fight between Arika and Andoria. While she was preparing herself for the class, Eriza was happy because girls were coming at her place today, but she wasn't sure if she'll have enough strength to bring that deck out...


- "So, you'll finally take out your famous deck?" asked Alix, Erizas older brother, with a mouth full of the pasta and tomato sauce that Eriza brought to him at the hospital.

- "Don't talk with your mouth full, everything falls out!" lectured Eriza while putting new flowers in the vase next to his bed. All the indecency of Alix caused ChibiChibi to laugh like an idiot. Eriza was so ashamed because of her behavior, but luckily, Alix wasn't able to see her.

Alix swallowed and kept on with conversation:

- "Answer my question, sis! What caused that sudden change of attitude?"

- "I don't know... I'm just tired of running away from painful memories, but I think that when I have to take that deck out, I won't have enough courage…"

- "Oh please, Eriza! That happened four years ago! Do you really think that dad would be happy if you never use the deck he made for you?"

Eriza stopped on her heels and looked out the window. Alix was right, again, and that sometimes got on her nerves. Her father would be really angry if he was alive, but he would never want her to miss beautiful moments in life just because she was scared.

You're exaggerating too much again, commented ChibiChibi, sitting on Alixs head. Her remark just caused Eriza to throw little piece of paper on her. Alix looked at her in confusion and Eriza answered in her thoughts without thinking:

Sorry, ChibiChibi is teasing me again.

When Alix gaped his mouth, she knew that she had done something wrong and put a palm to her face in frustration. True, Alix did believe everything she told him, he even believes that ChibiChibi exists, but she still surprised him when she told him something through her thoughts or when she accidentally moved an item on the other side of the room with telekinesis. But nothing was that strange to him anymore. Both of them had miraculously survived an explosion in their father's laboratory. Eriza only got a few scratches, but Alix got a fracture in his spine. The doctors had done their best, but he couldn't walk anymore. Since then, he stayed at the hospital for half the year, and half was spent at home, but he never lost hope. He strongly believed that he would walk again one day and be able to play football. And that makes him stronger than Eriza, who was running away from every bit of trouble and problem. She sometimes admired him because of that...

- "You two are having fun, I see!" the familiar voice of Alix's doctor, Ms. Mizuno, brought Eriza back to reality. She turned around and saw the tall woman with short blue hair and warm, intelligent blue eyes. Her white coat reached her knees and she held Alix's medical records in one hand.

- "Yes, doc! Eri brought me lunch and some stuff from home." Alix braged.

- "I'm glad you're enjoying yourselves" said the doctor with a smile, and then continued:

- "Alix, I have great news for you. You can go home in three days."

Alix almost choked on his food, but when he swallowed, he started looking happy. Eriza put her palm to her face once again, while the doctor laughed and ChibiChibi started to imitate Alix's movements.

- "Finally! No offence doc, but I can't stay here any longer!" said Alix. Eriza mumbled to him to calm down and set his down pillow so he could lean on it. He sometimes acted like a child, even if he was seventeen years old.

- "Understandable, Alix. Who likes to be in a hospital. Eriza, please come to my ordination later so you can pick the documents that your grandmother must sign. See you later!"

Eriza nodded and smiled to the doctor. She didn't show it, but she was really happy for Alix. He would finally come home...

Ummm... Eriza, don't you have somewhere to be in fifteen minutes? Eriza wanted to answer the spirit, but then she eyed her hand watch. Five forty five! The girls were heading to her place at six. Crap...

- "No, no, no! I'm going to be late again!"

- "What's the rush?!" asked Alix.

- "The girls are coming to my place in fifteen minutes! Luckily, grandma made an apple pie and that should occupy them until I arrive!" said Eriza while putting her books in her bag. When she came to the door, Alix called out to her and Eriza looked at him with frustration.

- "Best of luck today!" was all he said. Eriza smiled and winked, and then rushed through the door at the speed of light. The last thing she heard from her brothers room was:

- "Bring me some apple pie if possible!"

I doubt there will be any left for him commented ChibiChibi with a giggle. But Eriza wasn't in the mood for giggling. It was time for to duel...


Later that evening, Eriza entered her room in an attempt to remember where she had put her deck. She stopped in the middle of the room and scratched the back of her head, trying to make her brain work.

She was really late, but her grandma took care of the girls, so it wasn't boring. What would I do without her? thought Eriza with a discreet smile. The girls gossiped a little bit, and then Arika wanted a rematch, but Eriza won, again. After that they watched the finale of the Duel Monsters tournament and the girls started squealing like idiots when they saw King of Games on the screen. The only thing Eriza could do was roll her eyes. Shantell cuddled Eriza's cat while Selena and Andoria were eating homemade apple pie like she hadn't eaten for last hundred years.

If she keeps eating so much, she'll get a stomach ache! mumbled ChibiChibi, sitting on Erizas shoulder.

- "Look who's talking. You would rather eat it all by yourself…" said Eriza disinterestedly while she was looking at the bookshelves in her room.

What's so bad about it?! I can't get a stomach ache! said ChibiChibi, anoyed.

- "Yes, but you would bealch the whole night and I wouldn't be able to sleep!" said Eriza just to stop the fight and bowed to look under her bed. ChibiChibi said something, but she didn't hear it. Then she saw a little metal box and took it out from under the bed. When she blew on it, a cloud of dust raised into the air and both Eriza and ChibiChibi started to cough. Eriza than unlocked the tiny lock and opened it.

Here it is, where she left it four years ago. Eriza took a deep breath and took the deck with her right hand. When she turned the first card up, the Sailor Moon card appeared right before her eyes. A girl in a blue and hot punk fuku and with long blond hair tied up in two buns on top of her head was smiling at her, just like the princess earlier that day. Actually, she had never checked out her deck properly...

Are you okay? asked ChibiChibi suddenly, all worried, which surprised Eriza, but she didn't show that she noticed it.

- "I am... Now let's see this deck in action…" said Eriza as she stood up. She glanced around her room once again, stopping on the white music box on the table. If she kept standing in the middle of her room like this, she'd lose her courage. So move your butt she said to herself in her thoughts.

- "Did you find it?" asked Arika when she saw Eriza coming downstairs to the first floor.

- "I couldn't remember where I put it, but I finally found it." said Eriza, showing them the deck in her right hand.

- "Can we see it now, please?" asked Andoria, stretching out her hand. Eriza shrugged and gave it to her. When she picked up first three cards, Andoria looked totally astonished. Then Shantell and Arika took a few cards and started studying them. With every new card, the girls looked more and more astonished, firstly because of the drawings on the cards, and secondly because of their abilities in the game.

- "This deck is... unbelievable!" said Arika at last, totally thrilled.

- "Even I could win with this deck." sugested Andoria. The only thing Eriza could do was smile. They studied deck for a few minutes more, when Shantell said at last:

- "This deck is great, but I noticed that you have very few monster cards with less than five stars, and as far as I know, if you want to summon monsters that have more than five stars, you have to sacrifice weaker monsters. That means that you can't summon most of monsters you have in your deck."

- "True, but because my deck is unique and has a catch: I don't have to sacrifice monster if I want summon those stronger monsters, I just have to sacrifice spell or trap card that is related to the monster. Take Sailor Mercury, for instance. She has two spell cards and one trap card related to her and if I want to summon her, I just have to discard one of those cards. But, that's not the case with all the monsters in my deck, like Sailor Pluto, for example: she has only one spell card that is related to her and in that case I can discard any spell or trap card from my hand or I can give up a certain number of life points, and in case of Sailor Pluto, I can sacrifice any trap card from my hand."

As she was talking, she laid down the card she was talking about, and the girls just looked in astonishment. When Eriza went quiet, Arika stood up surprisingly and called out:

- "We have to play! Right now!"

The doorbell rang that moment and all four girls turned their heads in the direction the sound came from. Eriza's grandmother, a short woman with grey hair tied in a bun and in a long, dark blue kimono, came from the kitchen and went to open the door:

- "Just keep playing, I'll see who is it."

The girls just nodded and sat around a little tea table. As Eriza and Arika shuffled their decks and put them down on the table, the room got colder by a few degrees. Eriza got chills throughout her entire body. The feeling of horror was followed by the most frigid voice she ever heard in her life:

- "I see, the gang is still together... So sweet!"

Eriza turned her head and looked at the entrance of the living room to see a very well known figure standing there.

Alexia Roxelani, the owner of a corporation that produces video games, Roxelani Inc. and Eriza's very old acquaintance. She had changed a lot from the last time she saw her in public: her long hair coloured mahogany reached her breasts, her perfect noble face and body were in perfect balance. But two things didn't fit in the whole picture: firstly, her clothes reminded Eriza of a female warrior. She wore a black dress that emphasized her waist and its front side was shorter and reached to above of her knees than the back side that almost reached the floor. Secondly, she had beautiful, but very cold blue eyes. Emotionless. Frigid. Vicious.

- "Well, well, well! Who could have said that I'd see you here, Roxelani!" said Arika with a drop of sarcasm, getting up at the same time as Eriza. ChibiChibi landed on Erizas shoulder, confused, but serious.

- "I see, you still have a big mouth, Tsuyoku." answered Alexia with a smirk, causing Arika to become furious as hell.

- "What are you doing here?" asked Eriza coldly, openly glaring at Alexia, despite Alexia was much taller than her.

- "Aren't you glad to see me?" said Alexia, acting offended. Eriza tensed her fists in fury.

- "I asked you a question!" said Eriza with a loud voice.

- "I see, you are not that crybaby you used to be before, which is understandable, considering what happened in your life for last few years." The girls behind Eriza gasped and started to defend Eriza, but she didn't hear them at all because her fury blinded her. ChibiChibi looked at her with a worry and asked:

Who is she, Eriza? I've never seen you so angry.

Long story and I don't have nerves to telling it to you now, but know one thing: she being here only means big trouble...

- "Get to the point, Alexia. I'm not in the mood for your games." said Eriza as calm as she could.

- "All right, all right. Time is money, isn't it?" said Alexia, putting down on the table a black briefcase Eriza hadn't noticed before.

- "A little birdie told me about your unique and very powerful deck."

- "How do you know about it?!" cut off Arika who was prevented by Andoria not to punch Alexia right in her pretty face. On the other hand, Eriza wasn't surprised at all, Alexia's people were everywhere. She was also top rated female duelist in the world and there wasn't a thing she wasn't capable of doing just to win her duels.

Alexia just ignored Arika's comment and continued:

- "Sometimes it's useful to have younger sister in a public school like yours. She heard you girls talking about it and she told me everything. She doesn't keep anything from her big sister."

I can't believe that she uses her own sister for espionage! started ChibiChibi, all freaked out from anger, but Eriza knew where all this leads.

- "And since I'm a much better duelist than you'll ever be, I want you to trade with me." said Alexia with a cool smirk and opened the briefcase. Everyone in the room gasped. There was enough money to buy a small island. Eriza looked at Alexia in disbelief, refusing to believe that she's trying something so low. If she thinks I'm gonna sell my father's heritage, she must be crazy!

- "I won't sell you my deck." said Eriza shortly, feeling the confused looks of her grandmother and friends at her back. Only ChibiChibi looked at her proud. But Alexia didn't give up:

- "Not enough money? Just say the price and I'll pay."

- "I don't care for your filthy money! I will never sell you the deck that my father gave his life for!" yelled Eriza and pushed the briefcase off the table with her feet. But that still wasn't enough for Alexia to give up:

- "Oh come on, Eriza! I know you need the money for your brother's treatment. I guarante he'll walk again."

How rude! Throw her out of your house immediately!

- "How many times I have to say no!" said Eriza, taking her deck from the table and putting it to her heart.

- "You won't blackmail me. Take that money of yours and get out of my house! Now!"

Alexia stood there like a statue, but then she packed up her briefcase, glanced at everyone in the room with hatred and said coldly:

- "You haven't seen the last of me…" and disappeared out the door, with her dress hovering behind her. Eriza then took a deep breath and heard ChibiChibi saying:

That's how we do it girl!

- "It was worth it to see Alexia running away with her tail between the legs!"

Shantell and Andoria said similar things to her, but Eriza was confused. Where'd all that determination came from?!But then she got worried. She didn't know what Alexia would do next and that freaked her out. Then she took her deck and looked at the Sailor Moon card.

What did you got me into, Sailor Moon?...
