Well I'm hoping that it's going to be a refreshing change, had to make a few changes here and there though. wince
She lay silent and still, arms crossed neatly behind her head, cradling it in a comfortable manor which made her relax more than she already was. Her ankles were crossed and she was stretched across the length of her bed, face up, a warm blanket draped over her pyjama clad body. She took in a grateful breath, closing her eyes blissfully and opening them once again to gaze upon the moving poster that was situated on her slopping ceiling.
She watched as the seven players in mostly white robes moved around on broomsticks. There was glittering text at the top, translated form the elegant Japanese symbols which they were it read, 'The White Tigers'. They were Japan's top team; they had represented Japan in the Quidditch World cup every year for the past century. Of course, the players had changed since then and so had the uniforms.
Streaks of red, orange, blue, green and purple were all over the white coats, a circle was on the back of each one; in the circle was a picture a raging tiger in fine black ink. They were all riding custom brooms made especially in Japan from materials only found on the island country. There were two girls on the team, one a chaser and the other the seeker.
Usagi's eyes slipped closed tiredly, she was the only one awake at this time, her mother Ikuko and her father Kenji had come up to bed an hour ago according to her beside glowing digital clock. Shingo had gone to bed before her, she'd heard him grunting form inside his room, taking a peak through the key whole she could see he was still up and in front of his TV playing on the play station hooked up to it. She walked in, startling him and making him loose his game, as 'GAME OVER' flashed on the screen in big red letters she tucked him into bed, kissed his forehead and told him to sleep.
Once Chaos had been defeated she had smashed her precious crystal, well, attempted to smash, it had split into eight pieces, they all glowed and then, standing before her were her Senshi, the ones she had seen die. Then Shingo had to walk in and see the Sailor Senshi, except Sailor Moon in his sister's bedroom.
"Is that you Sailor V?" had been his first words looking at Minako; Sailor Venus, with wide appreciative eyes.
"Another one of my fans I take it?" she asked beaming at him.
"I have all your games, you're my hero," Minako had had the decency to look humble when Usagi flushed red with anger and embarrassment.
"Shingo, get out of my room!" the Tsuki Hime had demanded pointing at the door, imaginary steam wafting out of her ears.
"Usagi-baka why are the Sailor Senshi in your room, and where's Sailor Moon," he looked around expectantly, "She's the best."
"Neko-chan?" asked Haruka, Sailor Uranus, stepping forward.
"It's all right, I can show him," Usagi smiled at her friend who nodded and stepped back to lean casually on the wall by Michiru; Sailor Neptune.
"Show me what Usagi-baka?" Shingo asked and looked on with a raised eyebrow as Usagi brought out her Eternal Locket and placed the miraculously recovered crystal within it. She held it up, a determined look on her face, "Eternal Moon Power."
Lights flashed, shooting stars, miniature ones, criss-crossed the room, the Senshi looked on nonchalantly, this was normal to them. Shingo however had crossed his arms over his face and glanced form between his arms, awe written on his face. "Usagi-baka?" he called tentatively as the lights dimmed, but his sister was gone, standing before him, wings and al, stood his heroin and personal favourite, Eternal Sailor Moon. "Your, no, you can't be," he gasped disbelievingly.
"It's true Shingo, I am Eternal Sailor Moon, can you believe it," he nodded dumbly, "Come here," he moved towards her and she had enveloped him in a hug, there was a collective, but silent, 'awe'.
Ever since then Usagi and her little brother had become very close, very close indeed.
Usagi had grown up around magic, although technically muggle born she couldn't go anywhere where she didn't encounter the inheritance of her legend. The tales of the Moon Kingdom were well known in the magical world, at least in Japan, it as hard to find a wizard, especially pure blood families, that weren't well versed in her family history. It was all very odd to find people who knew more about than she did, they all put two and two together and her legend as well as her legacy as Sailor Moon, well let's just say she wasn't poor.
Educated at 'Madame Yang's School for gifted young witches' she met Naru, her best friend until a transfer student arrived, with blue hair and eyes and a brain to rival Einstein, she was Ami Mizuno; Sailor Mercury. Shy and isolated Ami was delighted when she had been befriended by Usagi and was sucked into a group of girls with whom she felt most comfortable.
Sent on an exchange to the Northern half of Japan, to a religious school with it's own personal temple run by the aging grand-father of the most popular girl in school, Rei Hino; Sailor Mars, Usagi and Ami encountered their next life-long friend. When they went back they found that a new girl with a fierce reputation had been set upon Madame Yang's kindly heart after being refused by every other school in Japan.
Tentatively approaching the girl one lunch as she sat on the grounds in the shade of a tree overlooking a gigantic lake filled with fantastic creatures, they found her. Highlighted brown hair strung in a stylish ponytail, small, pink, rosebuds blooming and un-blooming before their eyes dangling form her ears, her emerald green eyes came to rest on them.
"Chocolate covered rise ball?" the girls asked holding said object up to the three, Usagi, Ami and Naru.
"Yes please," Usagi pounced upon the food she was offered.
"Usagi, manners," Ami scolded standing by her cross legged friend.
"We're so sorry to have bothered you," Naru said quivering slightly, "we'll be going now," the words rolled off her tong at a hundred miles an hour making them hard to decipher.
"Come on Usagi," Ami advised but the blonde was in a world of her own.
"Mm, this so yummy, where'd you get it?" Usagi asked her mouth half full.
The girl laughed lightly, "I made it; the house elves let me use the kitchen," she explained.
Naru quit tugging on Usagi's shoulder and sat down beside her, "Really, that's so cool."
"Would you like to try some? There's enough for seconds," the girl blushed and held out a box full of delicious looking treats.
"Yes please," Naru replied looking at them hungrily, she picked out a batter covered shrimp and chewed lightly, "Oh Kami-sama, this is so good, you make this yourself?"
"Yes," the girl nodded, "Kind of weird, neh?"
"Why do you say that?" Ami asked settling herself and graciously accepting some sushi that Makato offered her.
"I know what everyone thinks of me," she looked saddened, "expelled from seven schools straight, turned down by every other one in Japan except this one with a fierce reputation for being a cold-hearted bully. But you guys don't believe that right?" the girl asked looking desperate.
"Well, um," Naru looked guilty, Ami didn't meet anyone's eyes, how could she have been such a hypocrite, she'd come and everyone thought she was some kind of superior thinking nerd and she didn't have the grace to think to look beyond what everyone says.
"Not for a minute," Usagi exclaimed beaming happily, she took the girl's hands in her own, "so what's you name, I never learned."
"Kino Makato," Makato grinned, her eyes twinkling merrily.
"Tsukino Usagi," the blonde informed.
"Mizuno Ami," the two shook hands.
"Osaka Naru," the two nodded at each other and that was that,
They'd been firm friends ever since then, Usagi Tsukino and Makato Kino; Sailor Jupiter.
It was a year after the horrific rumours of the dominating Lord Voldemort's return to the living had swept over the planet, Death Eaters on all parts of the Globe hastened to act. Now that there's master was once again in the position to protect them they were all too happy to grovel at his feet and beg for forgiveness. Besieging the school, scouts, Moon, Mercury and Jupiter fended them offer, defeating some but many were left standing.
"This won't work, there's too many of them, we have to retreat," Ami announced as she looked around worriedly at the laughing, wand bearing, black cloaked, masked Death Eaters that threatened to encircle them.
"Mars Fire Ignite!" a voice called above the din and a raging spiral of fire engulfed three Death Eaters and sparked and spread so that many were left beating their cloaks to dampen the flames. Some were more logical than they and put the fire out with their wands.
However, it was the distraction the girl's needed.
"Mercury Bubbles Blast!" a mist of soft blue and lilac tinted bubbles clouded the area and made it impossible to see anything.
"Jupiter Thunder…" on the verge of launching her attack Sailor Jupiter gasped as she was bound at the waist, arms strapped to her sides by a golden ring that her formidable strength could not break. Pulled back by an unknown force she groaned as her back collided with that of the four other present Senshi.
The cloud of bubbled cleared to show ten Death Eaters still standing, the other had disappeared all together, "Think you're tough eh?" they had jeered, "now hand over your powers and we'll get moving," one commanded.
"We'll never surrender!" Sailor Moon yelled valiantly but her confidence was dwindling; she could not reach her wand.
"You'll have to kill us first," continued Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mars gave her a look behind her back that Sailor Mercury realised before anyone else was a 'Don't-give-them-ideas' look.
"If that's how you want it," another sneered, "Avada," the tip of his wand glowed a nauseating green.
"Venus Crescent Beam," the ten Death Eaters's looked up to see a silhouetted figure against the rising moon with flowing hair, "Smash!"
A bright orange beam sent one to his doom as it pierced his chest, another was fired at the rings binding the other scouts, the ring dissipated and the four scouts got into position, the remaining nine to distracted to really take any notice as a shower of orange rained down upon them.
"Mars Fire Ignite!" two went up in flames.
"Jupiter Thunder Crash!" three were struck by lightning.
"Venus Crescent Beam smash!" two more fell to the ground where the others lay leaving only two standing.
"Finish them off Sailor Moon, they're about to Apparate!" Sailor Mercury commanded looking at them through her blue tinted visor, her small computer in hand.
"Right!" Sailor Moon nodded to Mercury and turned back to the quivering duo, "Moon Tiara," she pulled the spinning trinket back, "Magic!" she launched it, hurling it towards the twain, but it wasn't as successful as she had hoped. It had got one but the other had gathered his wits in time to get away.
"Oh rats!" Sailor Jupiter cried disappointedly, punching the air, "I thought we had 'em that time!"
"Wait," Sailor Mercury spun around to face their rescuer, shining blond hair cascading down to her knees, sparkling blue eyes and an orange and yellow uniform with a blue locket, the girl smiled, "who are you?"
"I am Sailor V," she reached up to remove her trademark shades and tossed them aside, "But you can call me Sailor Venus."
"How did you find us?" asked Sailor Mars, Luna, Sailor Moon's previously ignored black cat with a golden crescent moon blazoned on her forehead stepped forward, as did an almost identical but decidedly male, white feline with blue eyes but the same golden mark.
"That was me," the other cat replied.
"You, but you're only a cat," Sailor Moon commented looking perplexed, Sailor Venus laughed as she watched her cat go red, if only cats could.
"Artemis can do all kinds of things, can't you boy?" she giggled again as she swept him into her arms, "And you must be Luna," she looked at the brown eyed cat, "Artemis says much about you."
"So what's your real name?" asked Sailor Jupiter.
"Can't say here, can I meet you somewhere?" she asked.
"Why don't we all come to my temple this weekend?" Rei asked looking between them all, they nodded.
"Where is it?" Sailor Venus asked.
"It's the Cherry Hill temple, at Sakura High?"
"Yes I know, I'll be there," Sailor Venus gave them the thumbs up.
"Alright is Saturday 11:00 okay with everyone?" Sailor Mercury asked.
"Yeh, if Meatball head can get up that early," they all laughed as Sailor Moon pouted at the name and the jibe.
"That's not very nice Sailor Mars!" she protested but they all parted laughing all the same
And that was how they had met Minako Aino; Sailor Venus and self proclaimed Goddess of Love, try telling me something she didn't know about men and women.
Then there were the boys' schools, there were two, one was ladened to the brim of overflowing with geeks, the other, purebloods only, the rest of the wizarding population in the area attended the local mixed school or had gone abroad for an education.
It just so happened that a nerd, but also persistent and oddly intriguing, going by the name of Gurio Umino, had sent Naru a valentine that made her blush. Not from embarrassment, but from the fact that the accompanying love poem constantly compared her to parts of a computer.
Your eyes are like a thousand pixels per square mm,
Bright and colourful,
Your hair is like a keyboard to a touch typist,
Flowing and soft,
And so on and so forth.
Not only that, but her past left her practically betrothed to popular, good looking and knew it, egotistical Chiba Mamoru. Fighting beside him hadn't been hard or acting to treasure his affections towards her, that was easy but it was Chibi-Usa she couldn't stand. She'd been going on a date with Mamoru, just having got off a rental boat you could take across the extensive man-made lake in the middle of the local park. Then it happened, a candy-floss topped kid with piercing red eyes and an attitude to boot had fallen form the sky, umbrella in hand and landed smack bang in the middle of it.
Although thankful for the excuse not to kiss Mamoru one more time she was outraged that some kid felt the need to jump the guy and copy her hair style.
Chibi-Usa, her and Mamoru's future daughter, she hated her for the fact that she was the result of what Usagi feared most; intercourse with Mamoru. Yet, the blonde couldn't help but pity the kid at the same time, what must it be like to grow up with a man like Mamoru for a father?
However when they had gone to the future with Chibi-Usa Usagi swallowed her words, the man she met was inhuman, he couldn't be Mamoru, he was sweet, kind, understanding, everything you could want in a husband, loving; the ideal father. He said his name was Endymion, he wore a tinted mask so the colour of his eyes, although they seemed blue, were not as distinct as they could have been.
It was as they walked through the unlimited vortex of time and space that they met Sailor Pluto, whom they would later learn to be Sailor Pluto.
After that ordeal and after the Nega-Moon was gone there was a new problem, two pureblood girls came into town so to speak. One was pursuing a course in professional broom racing and if muggles asked what her occupation was she said she was a, turning, pro-racer. The other played the violin, with great skill and was known in both muggle and wizarding world, she owned many holiday homes, all of which situated on different coastlines.
The first was the ultimate tom-boy, or at least as ultimate as you can be without getting a sex change. 'She races like the wind!' was the description 'The Daily Prophet' (Japan Style) had to offer an so it came as no surprise to find that Haruka Tennou was none other, than Sailor Uranus; power of wind.
Michiru Keiou, whose music flowed softly like a calm see turned out to be, with no surprises here either, Sailor Neptune; Goddess of water. The two worked well as a pair and were reluctant to join Usagi and her team, they were not powerful enough, plus the fact that they weren't all pure-blooded. Ami was and Makato was a half-blood, Usagi didn't even bother telling them about her connections until after they joined the group, this led to profound apologizing and Usagi once again proving how big her heart was by saying 'it's okay'.
Soon to come was their next big crises, the discovery of Hotaru Tomoe father was a renowned nut case and local scientist; her mother had been a witch but had left her father when he went bonkers. Trying to gain custody of Hotaru had proved impossible, with no home, no income and no supporting man or family she no case.
Hotaru was powerful, very powerful and manipulated because of it, her body infested with the black hearted Mistress 9, a certain Death Eater with a plan to use Hotaru to send the world plummeting into darkness and set herself at her master's side to rule as his dark queen.
Needless to say that plan failed, foiled by Usagi and the rest of her loyal Senshi, Hotaru however did not pull through untouched, she was alive yes but… She lived with amnesia affected father who remembered nothing of his turbulent past, only of his baby daughter whom he cradled in his arms lovingly while sitting in a wheel chair. Chibi-Usa who had returned at the request of her mother to receive Senshi training even got to hold her best friend who gripped her fingers and gurgled.
But all too soon the good times ended and their newest enemy, Galaxia, bent on attaining 'star seeds' and controlling star seeds, they then met World Renowned band, The Three Lights. Three half-bloods with no passion for their magical heritage, but only the defeat of Galaxia and the resurrection of their Princess and to return to their home planet.
Wonders would never cease as the lead singer, Seiya by name, fell head over heals for Usagi who pretended to play hard to get but grateful for the attention from a man that wasn't Mamoru. The idiot had gone to America for what he described as a 'better education', although it was true he had gone to University there, Usagi had no doubt he had fled abroad merely to get out of her sight so as to find more adequate company.
The Three Lights then turned out to be a trio of female warriors, The Starlight's, although this was helpful it was slightly disturbing to watch a hunky guy that wanted to date you morph into a woman before your very eyes.
They met an illusionist and master of dreams by the name of Helios who was a pureblood and an Animagus, with the ability to change into the unique form o a horned Pegasus.
Aforementioned Animagus made several moves on Chibi-Usa and kissed her before leaving and promising to fill her dreams.
That was when the unthinkable happened, Eternal Sailor Moon once again became her heritage, Princess Serenity and freed Galaxia form the evil clutches of a dark, parasite like spirit, going y the name of Chaos. Black and filed with hate he attacked Eternal Sailor Moon with a bloodlust like she had never seen; the Scouts fell dead at his hands.
Their respective powers coursed lovingly through her veins and threw her head long into a brand new transformation, Sailor Cosmos, Queen of the entire Galactic Cosmos, she defeated Cosmos at the price of her friends lives and had lived without them for a while, the legacy of them left behind by the games, the merchandise and everything they had had.
Ami and Makato had been crossed off the attendants list at Madame Yang's School for gifted young witches, Rei's grandfather sent himself into a coma when his grand-daughter remained missing for months on end, dieing only a week later as his old heart gave out. The temple was left for Rei should she ever return and the state of Rei's person remaining undetermined the shrine was forbidden to be touched.
Sailor V was said to be touring the world, the reaction to Minako's disappearance Usagi didn't know, being not quite sure where the other blonde had taken up residence. Haruka and Michiru were 'taking a breather' from their careers, they had no parents of immediate family so no one really bothered to look. Setsuna? Whose Setsuna? Hotaru? Her father was dead, her mother was in a mental home having hourly talks with a shrink, how could she worry about her daughter?
And that was how it had been since just over a month ago on that fateful day when she had attempted and failed to smash the crystal to pieces, when Shingo had found out about her and the her application to try out for 'The White Tigers' had been accepted.
I tried to stick the basics of the original BSSM plotline, I really did. If beyond the Nega-Moon is crap then excuse me, I'm English, they showed the first two episodes after that whole mess and started from episode 1. Basically I haven't seen past BSSM R! Tragedy!
