Prologue
Many centuries ago, before the dawn of the Crystal Millennium, there was a fierce battle that the Sailor Soldiers' were destined to lose. Queen Serenity concealed her foe, Queen Metalia and all of her followers, but not before she could give her daughter and the planet guardians' a chance at a second life. They were reborn on the planet Earth: Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus were the first with Sailors Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Saturn awakening later on. Once Sailor Moon and the other were awakened, they set out to defeat the returning evil Queen Metalia, Queen Beryl, and the Dark Kingdom. Together they fought with the powers of love, justice, and friendship, to save the world from her cruel influence.
Among them was a hero known as Carnage. He was a symbiotic warrior who trained each of them to become even better warriors than they were before. Together, the five sailors and Carnage, they fought many threats against the Earth. The Doom Tree, Gaap: The Prince of Demons, and many other foes that threatened the peace and happiness of Earth.
During this time, the love between Sailor Jupiter and Carnage came to life. The example of true love was set by Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask; and brought strength to the warriors as they continued to fight each new form of evil. Carnage began to work less for the Illuminati Council, an organization of Earth protectors, and became a part of his adopted Japanese family, fighting for love and justice full time.
The Dark Kingdom tried to rise again. The cruel leader, Apachite, not only corrupted the Illumninati but the entire world. He controlled various aspects such as governments, criminal groups, and natural disasters, making it difficult to pinpoint the evil forces of The Dark Kingdom at work.
With the help of the Outer Sailor Soldiers (Sailor Neptune, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Saturn, and Sailor Pluto), the warriors were able to defeat the evil Apachite; but their celebration was cut short. Before they managed to destroy him, over 12,000 nuclear missiles were launched. Scattering to detonate across the entire globe. There was nothing the Sailors could do to stop this terrible threat.
As they watched the nuclear missiles come in for the attack, Sailor Moon called upon her Silver Moon Crystal. The powerful item heard her pure hearted wish, and granted it. Carnage, Tuxedo Mask, the Sailor Soldiers, and all of Earth's population were incased in powerful and protective crystal shells. The nuclear bombs hit, destroying entire cities across the Earth and the surrounding land around them, but at least everyone was safe.
They awakened, nine hundred years later. Their protective crystals unleashed them, and they were welcomed back into this new world. A world of rebirth from the destruction that had been caused. The centuries of suspended animation left them to discover the new lush Earth before them.
Erect in the center of what was once Tokyo, was the Crystal Palace. Immediately the warriors knew what this sign of peace meant. The Crystal Millennia had begun! Sailor Moon became Neo-Queen Serenity and Tuxedo Mask became King Endymion, the new king and queen of Earth. These rulers, and their warriors, worked to create a new and peaceful planet for its citizens.
Crystal Tokyo was built, and it was the epitome of peace for the world to see; but evil still haunted the Earth. Some of the Sailors stayed to protect the King and Queen, while others worked to eradicate this evil. Drug dealers, addicts, gangs, and the sort were brought before the Silver Moon Crystal and cleansed, thus purging the influence of chaos and creating and preserving the wonderful environment around the globe. The Sailors and their queen's message of love and peace were needed more than ever. Even after the nuclear holocaust, wars were still being waged for territory and supremacy between various human factions. Selfishness and greed continued to abound. Drugs were still in production. The playing field looked different, but humanity hadn't changed.
With all the good and peace they brought upon the world, there were still those that threatened to destroy it. A hooded magician, by the name of Aldrich Reid, attacked Carnage. The symbiotic warrior lost all of his humanity, and was taken over by the amoral alien symbiote that lived within him. The new, purely evil, Carnage began his rampage of destruction. He killed and harmed many, destroying the peace and security of Crystal Tokyo in his entire wake.
All seemed lost. The wonderful planet, they had worked so hard to rebuild, was slowly being destroyed by one of their own. In the end, Sailor Jupiter's love for her new husband prevailed and saved them. Their daughter, Tera, was to be born, and her lover returned to her to be a part of the love and wonders of this world. His human heart was returned, and he was blessed by the Silver Moon Crystal, suppressing his symbiote's evil nature.
Aldrich Reid was exiled to the Dark Moon, and Carnage locked himself in the dungeons under the Crystal Palace to protect the people he has sworn to protect from further harm. Again, Sailor Jupiter's love prevailed. She reminded him of their new baby, and his warmed heart forced him to fight alongside the soldiers again. He took the name Hybrid and attended regular purifications with his family to keep his symbiote under control. He publicly vowed to redeem himself. He became the Guardian of Earth, and was gifted with The Sword of Gaia. Such a great honor he would not let the King and Queen regret.
Three hundred years passed, aging was no longer a problem, and a great peace crossed the land. The soldiers became lax, trusting that this peace would last. While each Sailor did their own thing: Mars established and worked in the new Hikawa Shrine, Mercury focused on her scientific and medical studies, and Venus ran the local competition center, the second generation of Sailors was trained simply as a precaution.
Young Chibiusa, the darling princess, became the new Sailor Moon, with her guardians the Sailor Quartet. Tera also joined the group of five, as Sailor Earth! With the incredible strength of her mother, and symbiote genes of her father, she became a strong addition to the new generation of sailor warriors. However, she was afraid of her alien power; and she and the others were still young and had never seen the troubles of battle.
Norman Osborn then struck. As the Sinister Seven: Dr. Octavius, The Living Vampire Morbius, The Lizard, The Scorpion, The Vulture, and The Rhino attacked Crystal Tokyo. They captured the original Sailors, leaving the younger sailors feeling doomed, guilty, and unable to fight. The older Sailors, and Hybrid, were locked away in the Oscorp building, completely at the mercy of any plans the villains may have had for them.
Sailor Earth, Sailor Moon, and the Quartet went to fight and bring back their elders safe and sound. They failed their first time out. They were reminded that they were new to the world of battle, and were not experienced enough yet to successfully save the older sailors. Though loving speeches and persuasion, they were convinced to try again by Neo-Queen Serenity, Sailor Pluto, and the guardian cats: Luna and Artemis.
With regained confidence they tried again, and succeeded. Tera was forced to face her personal fears about her alien half and had to fight her own father, who was drugged by Norman Osborn. She learned to trust in her symbiote, and all the other sailors discovered their inner strengths and learned to use them to their advantage.
With the help of the older Sailors, they defeated Norman Osborn after he had transformed into a massive goblin creature. Hybrid became himself again, the drugs in his system wearing out, and the rest of the villains escaped; except for Michael Morbius, The Living Vampire, and Curt Conners who was the human identity of The Lizard. The two were brought back to Crystal Tokyo, and inducted into Sailor Mercury's medical and science teams once they were cured of their vampire and lizard ailments.
The entire city celebrated. They were happy to have their defenders returned, and that the new warriors had proven themselves. Perhaps peace was among them once again! While the younger Sailors continued to train, they and the older sailors each solemnly swore not to return to their lax states. It was decreed that they would return to purging the Earth of chaos' influence where ever it reared up, by defeating the drug and criminal rings and bringing people who hurt the innocent before Neo-Queen Serenity to be purified. As the months of peace continued to pass, they remained vigilant because they all knew that, at any moment, another threat could return.
The dimension of Negonall was only a couple of decades old, by its own standards. To any casual onlookers, and even to some of its citizens, it seemed to have been around for centuries. This is the trouble with alternate dimensions, times are difficult to calculate. It was set up as a trading district, between many of the inhabited worlds that bordered it. It was ruled by the Jikinin, a particularly selfish and greedy group of demons, who wanted power and money all to themselves.
Often times, they would trade goods, but eventually a black market for humans began. The Jikinin, and other dealers, began to kidnap and harvest the humans of Earth, and even from some other planets. The humans were often killed, traded as meat, and blood for power. Others were kept alive, and used to please all the races that came to Negonall, the demon trading district.
It was a dark and hellish city, filled with the stench of death and misery. It was a terrible place, even for the Jikinin that owned it. Only those that knew how to open portals knew how to cross the spaces from dimension to dimension. Trade was fierce, leaving many to suffer, and many Jikinin rich.
And this is where our story begins.
