Prologue: The Past Unveiled, Legend of a Hero

"Many legends start with some kind of farce of myth, I won't give you any of that, this is about my past…how I came to be what I am today if you will. This chapter in my life is long since past; but it makes up my past. It's very important for you to know of me Usagi." His words came soft but still striking a nerve of hers he knew she hadn't guessed yet.

Her cousin who stayed at her house for many months, lived with her and went to the same school had eluded her knowledge; she'd finally captured him in the act and found out more things about him than she'd ever figured of knowing. This boy was truly her family! From beyond the past and into the present, he'd followed her by her mother's plan to ensure her safety throughout her life and discovery as Sailor Moon. "You are trying to tell me how you have that…the symbol of the moon on your head." Her words plain yet still striking deep, she didn't know what to feel yet.

"I hadn't wanted to hide it from you, but I knew I shouldn't tell you, even after you found out you were Sailor Moon, it's just far too soon to tell you. How you feel knowing that I'm not just your cousin to the Tsukino family; but also your partner against the forces of darkness here." His eyes seemed to drift down, but her soft brush of his shoulder had him look up at her; those teary eyes held a soft smile, and then held a look of annoyance.

"Baka…I don't care that you hid it with reason, I'm annoyed you didn't say anything. I don't know how to take it, but I'm happy and maybe a little confused." The look in her eyes burned into her lightly, her words just touching him a bit more and even having him smirk a little.

"I should know that since I've known you as long as I have, but still I can't just go letting every one know…You've only just met Sailor Mercury and I happen to know of her already, and I have recently found another two members of my Banshou. Keep this a secret Usagi…seriously; it's nothing that any scout should know just yet. I'm your guardian by choice, but you have Tuxedo Kamen and yes I know of him…heh, I know a bit of everything these days." That joke didn't amuse her and instead made her gain a little glare.

"Seee? You know so many things and yet you won't tell me!" she was pushing a point and over-dramatizing it a little bit. That brought a soft laugh from him; not helping that her whining always made him grin a little bit, face lit with laughter.

"And I can't tell you, what happens when you find out huh? You are the leader here Usagi, the one whose going to be leading us on in this battle. I'm just here along for the ride." He gave a soft brush of her shoulder. "I do have abilities like you; I can Henshin upon command and change myself in a state to fight darkness. But remember, you're the one whose leading us forward so don't let me down hmm?" his words seemed to reach her, but she had a curious look on her face.

"So what do you change into? I get cool costume and powers, how about you?" her words were avoided with a very slim answer.

"I change too, I get a new costume and powers as well." The words annoyed her since it just mirrored her own.

"What do you look like huh? Show me!" she said with a little bit of an excited voice, he made a 'sshh' face at her and shook his head.

"Not something to just show you now, you'll see me when you really get stuck in a battle. Then I'll be there okay? You can dust most monsters from what I've seen." That hit a nice nerve, as a tick vein appeared on her forehead.

"So, you've seen me already huh?! Well that makes it fair, then you can show me!" she seemed to be pressing the nerve and pushed her finger against his nose, he shook his head and just made a face at her.

"Nah, you'll get to see it later on okay?" he said as he got up and slipped to the door. "We've talked about it okay? You know and I'm sure you'll tell Luna about me now." He smirked lightly and left before she could say another word.

While he walked down the hall to his room, he'd only revealed the tip of the ice berg since she caught him; she'd have to find out the rest of the information much later on. It was far from time for her to know now.

(Flash Back)

His eyes remained watching Princess Serenity dance with Prince Endymion of Earth, watching them glide over the dance floor and smiled softly, as he turned and had looked up to the night evening. They were perfect together…and so he knew this, it was something he'd promised he would protect. "To all that brings life to this universe, ensure that even should this kingdom fall…that love won't be lost…don't let my cousin suffer. I make this vow and pact, no matter what happens I'll fight to defend this; I'll face any evil of any size. Any darkness will stand before my justice; my blade will protect them as it has before."

Prince Royiaru Tsume, A prince of the Moon kingdom; while never being able to gain the throne, he was still of the royal family. Directly related to Princess Serenity by blood, had him with a special tie to her. He grew up by her side, often tagging along with her, but always more adventurous. Prince Tsume was widely known about the Kingdom as simply; Guardian Warrior Prince for his feats in facing the Dark Kingdom in conflicts in the past. Even now, his strength hadn't done anything but grow; anything involving Serenity would receive a defensive retort for his cousin.

"No...they're coming this far? The Dark Kingdom...those humans, how dare they...!" he turned and had started to his tower, to gather the Banshou to defend the kingdom. This was too close, they were too close and he couldn't let them get closer. He found himself in a little shock that Prince Endymion had come here to warn them, but the fact that he was so willing to protect Serenity had made him happy she loved him. He would protect her now, he had work to do in protecting the kingdom. Then he heard a voice that made him stop, he frowned lightly and had given a little look to who stopped him...Serenity.

"No...no Tsume, don't go...don't leave the palace...it's not safe." her sweet voice, still so innocent managed to stir him still, she grabbed his shoulders and hugged him gently as she looked at his face. He could see her eyes quivering and just noticed the shadows in them, her worry was easy for him to sense, since it was so deep and involved him directly. "The Army can't stop them...we have to stay in the palace."

"It's why I'm going, only me and my group, the Banshou can stop them now. The Moon Army can't win a losing battle, but we can turn the tides Serenity. I know you worry for me, but you know my secret and not even your mother; my aunt knows I'm a Kinji by blood. I've more power than any mere human could dare to try-" he was cut off by her hugging him tightly.

For a moment while she held onto him, it was as if the wind billowed just for her, some wind that never truly existed blew her gown and her hair. He embraced her gently and had leaned in to listen to her words.

"We are going to go...you, me, Endymion, and mother...she wants us to come and be safe. We must live on for our people." she tried to stir his sense of duty to the people, but he...just leaned in and kissed her cheek softly.

"Serenity...I am only a Prince, a cousin to you that fights...I am a Warrior then a Prince you know that." he drew back slowly, from her tightening grip on his shoulders. His heart almost tearing as he saw the tears welling in her eyes. "Don't...don't cry for me, I'll be fine I promise you...I'll never stop watching over you. Go you love Endymion, he'll protect you as so he promised me. I trust him to his duty, go Serenity...go!" he said as he drew back and took off ahead.

He ran down the hall, not looking back to Serenity...he couldn't see that look in her eyes, there was too much pain to feel then and he needed to concentrate. He raced into the tower and had found the members already prepared for battle. He drew up his sword and sheathed it on his belt, moving to his tonfas; this would be a hopeless battle...but they'd fight for the Moon and the Silver Millennium.

"Hey guys, you know this is gonna be a hell of a battle. Let's get out there and do what we swore to do. Let's not have any word, the state is critical and chances for victory are slim to none. So I'll make this brief; Mission is to destroy the enemy and move on as fast as you can got it? Let's move!" the final words from Keba's thoughts...his eyes opened as he shot up from the bed.

"The dream again..., I know...I do know. It's finally coming clear to me..." he said again as he laid his head on the bed and looked outside, glancing his eyes at the crescent moon. Indeed it was most mysterious to him and he knew it. His destiny was coming back to him with reason, he had to act and respond.
