Story Synopsis for Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon S:
The peace brought to Earth by the Sailor Guardians when they defeated Death Phantom and ended his influence over the Black Moon Family has been shattered. A new enemy known as the Death Busters seek to unite three Guardian Talismans of Pure Heart Crystals for unknown purposes while two mysterious new senshi arrive with a mission to do the same there purposes for the three Guardian Talismans just as unknown as the Death Busters. Are the two new senshi allies or foes, this is a question Usagi, and all the girls have to ask themselves, while fulfilling a promise they make with each other to protect and return the Pure Heart Crystals back to there true owner so that those people do not die.
Small Lady Princess Serenity also known as Chibi-usa shall return from the future sent by her parents to make friends while also training as Chibi-usa is now the Pretty Sailor Guardian in Training Sailor Chibi-Moon. A greater threat than even the Death Busters known as the Silence shall unite all three of the guardians of the outer solar system, and Sailor Pluto shall leave her duties as the guardian of the gates of time in order to aid her fellow outer senshi, but still leave the gates in the hands of one she can trust. The three outer senshi for reasons unknown to Usagi, the girls, Mamoru or his Shitennou are weary of a new friend that Chibi-usa makes while in the past named Tomoe Hotaru; though for the inner senshi as well as the prince and his guardians Hotaru is simply a shy young woman, with a mysterious aura, who has an illness that causes her to periodically have seizures.

* ACT 0 *
"Beautiful, are they not, Daimon Pods, the perfect blinding of science and of course magic. You and the five have done well Kaolinite," a figure hidden by the shadows of what seemed to be a mad scientist laboratory said and the fact that the only things one could make out about this man where his mad scientist like coat and round glasses that reflected the little light of the room did not help matters. "Thank you professor," Kaolinite who had long flowing red hair, dead like skin and soulless black eyes replied as the Daimon Pod floated from between the professor's hands and in between her own. "Go little pod, search out a pure heart crystal, one that has one of three guardian talismans we need to form the Holy Grail," Kaolinite said to the pod in her hand that pulsated like the beating of a heart before taking flight.
"Watch over the pod carefully Kaolinite," the professor requested of the woman dressed in black, her onyx stone necklace on the lower half of two strands of black pearls around her neck catching the light as she bowed her head. "As you wish," Kaolinite said following swiftly after the Daimon Pod in a flash of red light. "At last, come oh ye beautiful Silence, oh everlasting Silence, bring an end to this world of light," the professor said as a bone chilling maniacal laughter filled the mysterious room he was in.

Everything as far as the eye could see was as red as blood, and the sky was blacker than night. Stone statues of people many frozen in fear scattered the landscape though the stone figures of Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus made my heart feel as if it had been covered in ice as a dark swirling vortex destroyed everything heading towards me as all I could do was watch as all I knew and loved was taken from me. The sound of bells sounded and finally I was able to turn towards three shinning lights, "onegai, help us," I yelled but the lights flew away from me converging into one before the blinding light they formed.
Soft brown eyes snapped open as a slightly pale hand wiped sweat from her brow and moving short shoulder length black hair out of her eyes as the figure dressed in a red and white kimono breathed heavily from the vision she had just had as the flames of the shrines fire continued to burn innocently before Hino Rei. "What was that," Rei thought to herself as she shakily stood to her feet as she moved throughout Hikawa Jinja towards her room to begin fixing some jasmine green tea for Usagi who was coming over with Chibi-usa today for no other reason than to just to get together with old friends. Originally everyone except Makoto who was still officially on her honeymoon with Matoki, even if her flight back from the big island of Hawaii was coming in tonight. But then Mamoru had been called in to work for a fellow coworker who had called in sick.
The Shitennou had decided that without Mamoru there that they did not want to interfere with a gathering of the Guardians so they had decided not to show up as well. Ami though a specialist had forgotten about an appointment with someone who trusted only her skills as a doctor so she had had to cancel as well. Then their was of course Minako, who had been asked to sing a song from her upcoming third album called simply, LOVE for a local charity organization, and wanting to help the organization that helped children, Minako had of course agreed even though sense moving back to Tokyo she had done much of her promotion, distribution and sells from her web-sight, yet was still insanely popular not only in Japan but around the world for making the responsible path in settling down and raising her "adopted" child Artemis in the most stable environment that a idol such as herself could.
Leaving the water to boil for the tea Rei made her way outside and walked into the next room where a box with special prayer ofuda lay looking through them Rei smiled pulling one out, "Number 27, perfect," before going back into her room and adding the her jasmine and green tea mix to the still boiling water before making her way outside to the back yard where a tree with many small pieces of paper, much like the one she held could be found. Walking over to it Rei tied the piece of paper onto one of the branches and said, "I hope everyone will live happily without anything bad happening," a small smile coming to her face before she felt the presence of something coming from the tree itself causing her to back up defensively as the tree began to morph and transform into a humanoid female form.
"Mikuji," the feminine creature said, "I shall now take the pure heart crystal of you, one who cares for her friends." "Shimatta. I can't fight here, this creature could hurt all the children who live at the shrine," Rei thought to herself before saying out loud, "come on, catch me if you can," before running into the woods. "Quickly after her, we can't allow her to get away," Kaolinite said appearing in a flash of red. "Mikuji," the creature said following quickly after the Shinto priestess. Rei ran until she came to one of the walls that surrounded the Hikawa Jinja, and turning quickly she hastily made a grab for her bracelet ready to transform when four pieces of wood seemed to shoot as if shot from a gun towards her pinning her arms and legs to the wall behind her. "Well done Daimon Mikuji," "Daimon," Rei whispered questioningly looking first to the creature and then to the pale almost dead like skinned woman dressed in black who had complimented her.
"Take the targets pure heart crystal, I shall continue the search for more targets," the woman said vanishing before Rei's eyes in a flash of red. "Mikuji," the Daimon said revealing a black star shape on her chest that shot a dark beam of light towards Rei striking her in the chest and causing her to scream from the pain it caused. As Rei continued to scream the Daimon smiled to itself before someone shouted out behind it, "stop right there," causing the Daimon to turn to see two figures standing upon the hillside. "How dare you try to harm my friend. I am the pretty sailor guardian of love and justice, Sailor Moon and in the name of the moon, I shall punish you," "Likewise, I am Sailor Luna," the two said. "Sailor Moon, Sailor Luna," the Daimon said in confusion.
"Usagi, Luna," Rei said her eyes heavy as she looked towards the two from where she was as the Daimon rushed the two knocking them off their feet, before grabbing Sailor Moon with its strange bark like ponytail and tossing her into the brick wall that Rei herself was trapped upon. The Daimon smiled towards Sailor Luna and not thinking her a threat rushed towards Sailor Moon who was struggling to get to her feet and just when the creature was about to attack it was hit in the forehead with a very well made black polished cane that then rolled its way across the grass. "Usagi, are you ok," Tuxedo Kamen asked landing beside Sailor Moon. "Hai, thank you Mamoru," Usagi said with a tender smile as he helped her to her feet.
"Mikuji," the Daimon said wrapping Tuxedo Kamen in the same wood that held Rei before rushing towards Sailor Moon and pinning her to the tree her hands actually coming off and turning to stone, as the Daimon then bit down on Sailor Moon's broach it face like its hands coming off before being replaced the stone face causing Sailor Moon's transformation to fade and as the broach that had once again become a necklace fell to the ground, the stone face cracking all around it Sailor Luna who was ready to help her friend felt a sharp pain in her chest and as she fell to her knees the power of her own henshin faded as well, like grains of sand through ones fingers, and somehow Luna knew that even though she was still in her human form that she would never become a senshi again.
"Luna," the young woman heard her name being called as a familiar white haired brown eyed young man only a few years older than herself said rushing to her side, four girls right behind him. "Everyone quickly, transform," Minako who was at Artemis' side said to Ami, and Makoto who nodded but before the three could do anything they to where pinned to the trees that surrounded them with the same wooden restraints that held Rei. "There now there will be no more interference," the Daimon said not even considering Luna or Artemis who was supporting her weight as the two stood by both now unable to do anything as Mikuji turned back towards Rei and once again revealing the black star shape began the process of taking Rei's pure heart crystal.
After screaming for a few minutes a red glowing crystal with many points that looked something like a star finally emerged from Rei's chest and floated towards Mikuji's waiting hands. "Give that back," Minako said with tears in her eyes, "please give that back to Rei," Minako added no longer able to speak as the tears overwhelmed her and she broke into uncontrollable sobs. "Youma, we will never forgive you," Usagi said as the Daimon smiled. "Pathetic humans, always so . . ." but here whatever the Daimon was going to say was cut off as first a golden orb of energy struck it causing Rei's pure heart crystal to float away in the direction the attack had come from as the Daimon was struck a second time but this time with a blue orb of energy turning the creature back into a tree as a strange pod fell from the tree, striking the ground where it split as a black ghost like apparition seemed to float into the sky vanishing with an eerie laugh.
With Mikuji defeated Usagi, Ami, Makoto and Minako who were free from the restraints that the Daimon had placed them in rushed to Rei's side Luna and Artemis following quickly behind as Minako who was first to reach the priestess rested her head in her lap, tears falling without shame from her eyes.

"This is not a talisman," a tall feminine figure with a deep voice said. "Iie, it is not, it would seem they chose incorrectly this time," the smaller feminine figure said releasing the crystal that was floating between her hands and saying simply, "return," before the two figures vanished from their hiding place though both Artemis and Luna made out the two mysterious figures shadows just before they completely vanished. The two advisors along with Usagi, Ami, Makoto and Minako watched as the red crystal with many points like a star went back into Rei whose eyes slowly opened. "Your ok, I'm so glad," Minako said hugging the priestess to her who without Minako seeing turned almost as red as the kimono she was wearing though Usagi, Ami, and Makoto did see, though none said a word as they let Minako fuss over Rei, the Shinto trying without avail to wave her off, while trying a bit more successfully to fight off the blush wanting to rise once again to her cheeks.
"This is not a good sign master," Zoicite said helping Mamoru to his feet. "A new enemy," Kunzite said darkly, "and one much more powerful than The Black Moon Family it would seem," Nephrite added with both worry but a bit of excitement as he was always one ready for a fight. "Should we go over there," Jadeite asked looking towards the five sailor guardians. "No lets leave them be for now," Mamoru said, "they like us have much to think about," he added as his four Shitennou nodded their heads in agreement with their masters words.
Note:
Well here we go again my dearest readers. I hope you enjoyed reading Act 0 of my newest project Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon S, and will continue to read as I bring to life what to me is perhaps one of the most complex yet amazing arcs in both the anime and manga while trying to adapt it like I did PGSM R to the live action drama. Hang in their true believers, the chapters will come, just have patience and give me the time to work on them.
Till next time I remain a . . .

PS
I am only going to say this one time, as really I found it a little annoying doing this at the end of every chapter (ACT) of my last PGSM fan-fiction. If you have any questions about any of the Japanese words or honorifics I am using (they will be in bold) please ask me and I will translate them for you to the best of my knowledge and abilities.
Also,
I have decided that there will be no more shying away from establishing couples in this fan-fiction so here is a list of couples that are already together or will be formed during the writing of this story. It is my opinion that these couples fall in line with things PGSM has already helped build the groundwork for even if nothing was ever set in stone.
* Usagi & Mamoru - I won't even bother explaining this one.
* Luna & Artemis - Yea, I'm not explaining this one either.
* Makoto & Matoki - Watch PGSM; and especially pay attention to what happens at the end of The Special Act oh and read my other work PGSM R.
Rei and Minako - I will be very, very interested to see what my readers think of this choice. By doing this I know I have drawn a line in the sand and chosen a side in this eternal debate but I think in the end it will be worth it.
Ami and Nephrite - PGSM dropped enough hints with these 2 don't you think. So I have decided to write what the live action drama itself would not.
* Haruka and Michiru - Look at the original Japanese Anime and Manga. Do not believe the North American (English Language) DIC "adaptation" lies! Cousins my A$$!
Setsuna and (?) - Honestly I have no idea who if anyone our dear Sailor Pluto should be pared with so I shall allow you my dear readers to decide and the most popular choice wins. Here are your choices:
Jadeite
Zoicite
Kunzite
No one (Remains alone)
