Hello everyone! This is my first fanfic and I hope you all like it. As you can see, it is a work in progress. I own NOTHING of Sailor Moon, this is simply a story that i cooked up in my head from my favorite manga/anime.

Chapter One: The Unknown

Raye suddenly jumped up from her position in front of the fire; she was drenched in an awful sweat and a bittersweet sorrow filled her eyes. She had just had another vision, a vision of what seemed like the beginning and the end all wrapped up in one; this one was the worst sights she had witnessed within the last month. She had to tell the others, an emergency meeting was on the agenda for the night.

Everyone was soon crowded into Darien's apartment for the meeting. The air was stiff and a silence filled the room. Luna was the first to speak, "It has been almost a year and a half since the battle with Galaxia and we haven't had any new enemies, which is almost to be expected but we still need to keep our guard up. Every time we defeat an enemy, another one comes along; maybe this time will be different and maybe it will not, only time will tell. Since Galaxia was who she was, I do not see where any new enemies could come from. " Luna had the attention of the entire room and then everyone tried to process her wise words. A few moments passed before someone else spoke up.

"Luna is right, everyone. I don't know what these visions are about yet because they are very vague at the moment. All I know is that something very good and important is going to happen and when it does great joy will occur but a deep, dark sorrow follows." Raye wished she knew more than what she did; the new information needed to surface fast so they could be ready.

"I don't like being in the dark when it comes to potential danger." Serena was beginning to worry. Her sweet, angelic voice had a hardened fear mixed in with its soft tone.

"Serena, everything will be fine; we have battled majorly powerful opponents before and we can always do it again." Mina walked over from where she was standing by the door and gave Serena a comforting half hug. "I promise you, whatever this is we all will get through it and didn't Raye say it was supposed to be good as well?"

"Yes, something very important is going to happen and it will benefit all of us greatly." Raye retorted once more.

"Only time can tell us about the future events, until each moment comes we must be careful and train. Everyone is out of practice right now, so everyone needs to get a good sleep and meet at the temple tomorrow, if that is ok with Raye, and we will work out a plan." Artemis said in his calm and cool voice, which momentarily eased everyone's worries.

"Everyone, let's meet at the temple at about 4:30 so we won't have to deal with the school girl rush." With Raye's final words, the meeting closed and everyone their separate ways but Serena decided to stay at Darien's for a little while longer.

"Darien, what are we going to do? I can't handle losing anyone. We have all seen and experienced death; if I have to go through that again, I might not ever recover this time." Small traces of water ran down her face; she was trying not cry and let her emotions get the best of her but she couldn't keep it together for much longer.

"Everything is going to be fine, I promise. You will not lose anyone, nor have you ever lost anyone for the long run. In the face of tragedy, you pull through and always save everyone." Darien walked over to his love and pulled her into his arms. Serena started to feel calm again and soon she forgot her worries. She would give anything just to stay like this; they were all in such a good place in their life and she wanted nothing to change. She knew that wasn't going to happen because they had seen the future and what they must make it become. It was a heavy burden to carry but Serena knew that they could do it if they all stuck together. She liked to think of the scouts as a clock, each person represented a different mechanism and without each part, the clock would no longer work. She knew in her heart that it was her job to make sure that their clock stayed together and ran properly.

She slowly pushed herself out of his arms, "it's getting late so I better head home but I wish I didn't have to go." Serena always hated leaving Darien; they had been through so much in the last few years, which made each moment they spend together more precious as time passed. With the new danger approaching, Serena didn't want to leave his side, let alone live in a different house.

"I know I wish you didn't have to go either, but I would rather not wake up to your father beating down my door while he screams he is going to kill me, at the top of his lungs," Darien's tone turned bittersweet. He knew that Mr. Tsukino was only doing what was right but he wanted nothing more than for them to move in together, he just hadn't worked up the nerve and asked her yet. "I'll walk you home, let me grab a jacket and we'll go." He knew that she was thinking that she didn't need him to walk her home but there was no way in hell he wasn't, the streets were tough even for Sailor Moon.

"Serena, get out of bed this instance," Luna yelled at Serena with no luck, "fine Serena, have it your way," Luna prepared her claws. "I'm giving you one last change Serena, get up now. We do not have time for you to spend all day in bed." Serena had been awake the whole time but didn't feel like getting up; all she wanted to do was sleep. She had matured in some areas like school and controlling her emotions, but one thing that hadn't changed was her laziness.

"I'm up, I'm up Luna, please retract the claws because I would like to keep my face intact," Even though all she wanted was more rest, she found the energy and made her way out of bed.

"We have a big day ahead of us and we need to get stared as soon as possible. I'm going downstairs to eat and by the time I am finished you better be ready." Luna shot a glare at her and then pranced downstairs to eat. Within twenty minutes, they were on their way to the arcade.

Luna and Serena glanced around to see if anyone saw them take their seat at the Sailor V game that also housed Luna's secret database. Luna has since trained Serena into using it because if there ever was a time that it needed to be used during the day, she could not do it; how crazy would it look if a cat were playing a video game? "A few days ago, Amy synced her computer to the data base. We need to scan the energy waves over the last couple of weeks and see if we can find anything," Luna desperately hoped that the found a good, solid reading because she hated going into anything blind, even though it was early on she wanted to know everything they could.

I hope you all enjoy this so far. I'm still getting down my chapter formats and how i am going to arrange everything. I know that the grammar isn't the best right now but If i didnt get this down, i would have forgotten it.
