Episode One: Peace Ended

The next afternoon Prisma, former dark moon sister, was taking a walk. She went to her favorite part of the park. It was surrounded by trees with only a small path to walk in and out. The trees were all a beautiful mix of colors and sizes. Fall had arrived and Prisma loved the mix of green, red, and orange. She went to sit under a tree and was lost in her thoughts. It had been four years since her and her sisters were saved by Sailor Moon and the sailor scouts. As always her mind shifted to her lost love, Sapphire. She hadn't gone one day without thinking of him and the life they might have shared, had it not been for Wiseman and all his lies. As she looked around a strange but familiar ray of light caught her eye. "What's this?" She picked it up for a closer look. It was a piece of crystal the size of a marble. "It looks like a piece of the dark crystal but that's impossible. It was destroyed."

As she continues to look at it, the crystal begins to glow and pierces her eyes with a green light. It begins to search her soul for her deepest desire; it is not long before it is found. Now the crystal speaks to her. "Prisma!"

"Sapphire?" she said surprised.

"Yes, it's me and you're right, this is a piece of the dark crystal. You can use it to make one wish. May I suggest the destruction of the sailor scouts?"

"Sapphire, I thought you wanted peace with them."

"I was misguided; because of them I was killed and trapped in this crystal. We missed out on a life of happiness together because of them. Are you going to let them get away with that?"

"NO!" Prisma yelled.

"Then make your wish."

Prisma held up the crystal and screamed "I wish to destroy the sailor scouts!"

As she spoke black energy surrounded her and she was transported into a strange palace. As she tried to orient herself to her new surroundings she saw a woman standing before here holding a black staff. Prisma started off speaking quietly but spoke louder as the words came. "Who are you? What am I doing here? Where is..."

Terra held up her hand "Enough! Your energy and once dark soul activated the crystal. However I will be the one who achieves vengeance."

"NO!, this is my vengeance, my chance to finally avenge Sapphires death."

"You foolish woman, you're merely a pawn in my quest and you have over stayed your welcome."

Terra raises her staff and it glows red. She points it at Prisma and before she can react she is shot with a ball of red-hot fire. Prisma lets out and piercing scream and she falls to the ground turning to ashes she curses herself for being so easily deceived. With her last breath she utters four words. "Sapphire…I...am…Coming…"

With a wave of her staff a globe floats towards her and she waves her hand across it. It turns from white to black to red and then shows the other three sisters. A snap of her fingers and they are standing before her all with confused looks on their faces. Three screams later they are all ashes before Terra's feet. "Now they will alert no one."

Terra walks to the remains of Prisma and picks up the crystal. It now glows at her touch and surges with the power of the wish. As she touches it she feels Wiseman's presence once again. "You have many enemies to choose from. Now you have the power to bring back five. Once the wish is made this crystal will take its place on your staff and I will be gone. Now make your wish."

Terra takes the crystal and sits back on her thrown, thinking of the many enemies that have threatened the scouts. After many hours she finally decided. "Black Crystal of the dark moon family. These are the five I choose, Mistress Nine, Malachite, Prince Diamond, Queen Nehalaneia, and one to be revealed only by my thought. I wish for them to be incubated in my energy gatherer room so they may be brought to their former glory."

She looks to her globe and it shows the former warriors of the negaverse slowly materialize and disappear behind black fog in their pods as they do their dark work. In the throne room a female advisor appears before Terra from the Energy Gatherer room. "Why pods, my mistress?"

"Being brought back from death, they won't possess the power they once did. I want them at their full power before going up against the scouts."

"I couldn't help but notice you did not bring back your sister."

"Ah yes Queen Beryl. I had thought of it, lord knows our earth mother would have begged me to. She always had a fondness for Beryl and her constant quest to overpower the moon family. Unfortunately she was always weak. Her sick love of that Earth prince, Darien and her jealously of the moon princess proved to be her end…twice. Even my power can't erase that. Now why are you here?"

"Mistress, we do not have enough energy to sustain all four pods."

"Then we will have to get more. Only use what energy we have to keep them alive. I will send down an Energy Gatherer to begin to get what we need."

"As you wish."

The woman turns and disappears in a puff of gray smoke, returning to her work in the energy room. Terra goes to her balcony and looks at earth with hatred in her eyes. "This will be a wonderful opportunity to see what I am up against."

Terra leaves the room and walks down halls lit only with blue torches. She could have teleported but liked to walk these halls, as her servants slunk back in her presence. The walls are all black marble with red and green ivy growing on them. She walks down two flights of stairs and enters her energy gatherer room. Incubators or pods as they were called lined the room in 4 rows of ten and one row of five. The regular pods were red with blue slimy vines crawling around them and disappearing up in the ceiling. Terra opens the pod to her left and it clears of its red fog and a green woman with thorns covering her body stepped out. The monster had red eyes that glowed with evil as it awaited Terra's command. "Kala Kala…travel to earth and gather human energy. However only take half from each human you attack. I do not want you alerting the sailor scouts to your presence."

Kala Kala disappears and Terra approaches another pod. It is a woman built like a tree with branches for arms and legs. It had glowing green eyes and also waits for Terra's orders. "I want you to drain earth dry of all its energy."

The second energy gatherer bows and disappears. Terra walks to the back of the room, there sat her five pods, her hope. As she looked at them she thought of her sister. She would have loved to see her again...only to gloat. For Terra had out smarted everyone by faking her death, after she was banished, and laying in wait for the day she could avenge her father's murder at the hands of the moon. That day would come soon…soon.

Meanwhile on earth, Serena is home talking on the phone with Raye. She is sitting on her couch in jeans and a red sweatshirt. Her hair is still a river of blond in the same meatball style. As she's talking she can't help but think about the old times with the gang. When they would sit around studying, joking, reading comic books, or eating Lita's delicious treats. She pulled herself out of her thoughts to continue talking to Raye. "I can't wait. It's going to be so much fun."

"Yeah, so where are we going?"

"Darien wouldn't tell me. Did you get any info out of Chad?"

"Nope, not a word."

"I wonder what they're planning."

"Let's just let them surprise us, this time. So how are classes?"

"Fine, my design professor asked me to come up with a clothing line. I think I might do some kind of crescent moon thing. It's so surprising. When I look back to the grades I got in middle and high school. Now in college I get A's and B's."

"Our meatball head is all grown up."

"She sure is. Was there much business at the temple today?"

Same as usual. Thanks again for helping me out the other day. Can you picture Lita's face if she saw us working together?"

They both laugh; there is silence as they both think about how much they miss the gang. They spent so much time together and now they were lucky to get a letter a month. Serena was pulled out of her thoughts by a familiar beep. "What's that?"

"What?" Raye asked on the other end.

"Something just started beeping. I better go see what it is; I'll call you back. Bye."

"Bye."

Serena looks around the apartment and eventually finds that the beeping is coming from her old scout communicator that she kept in her dresser. "I didn't think this thing still worked. Hello?"

She was surprised to hear Luna on the other end. "Serena you need to come downtown you're not going to believe this…it's the negaverse."

Without a second thought Serena grabs her broach and contacts Raye to tell her what's up. She goes to the shopping district of Tokyo; Raye had met up with her half way. When they get there they are shocked at what they see, a negamonster terrorizing the crowd and sucking energy from everyone it touches. "I...am...Soundesign."

Raye was the first to find her voice. "Oh My God!"

"It's…" Serena couldn't finish.

Raye finished for her. "…an energy gatherer."

"How is that possible? I thought there was no trace of negaenergy after Galaxia."

Raye looked at the crowd of drained people. "This is really no time to discuss this."

Luna had had enough of the discussion. "TRANSFORM!"

"MOON ETERNAL POWER!"

"MARS CRYSTAL POWER!"

As their transformation began Serena felt, free. Once again she was embracing who she was and felt the power of Sailor Moon fill her. But with the freedom came a twinge of sadness. A part of her remembered the sacrifices that being Sailor Moon again could mean, the loss of the ones she loved. Raye felt the fire surround her and smiled. She was whole again. As the transformations finished Sailor Moon stood before the monster. "I don't know what you're doing here but I will not let you stay. I fight for love and Justice, I am Sailor Moon."

"I'm Sailor Mars."

"On behalf of the moon we shall punish you."

The Energy Gatherer laughed. "Only two of you, now this will be easy."

"MARS FLAME SNIPER!"

An arrow of fire flies towards Soundesign from her fire bow. Soundesign jumps out of the way and Mars's attack breaks the window of a store. The monster attacks both the scouts and they dodge. The Energy Gatherer continues to attack without giving the scouts a chance to counter. Finally Sailor Mars sees a window and attacks again. She gets Soundesign in the arm but barely. Soundesign attacks Mars from behind and binds her with vines from her arms. "Sailor Moon run, they're more powerful then they used to be."

"No, I'm not that Sailor Moon anymore. I'm not going to run away." She walks forward to face Soundesign.

"A spine, I like it."

"TIARA MAGIC!"

Her golden discus flies through the air and even though Soundesign tries to retreat from it but Sailor Moon reverses its direction and the discus hits Soundesign and it falls to the ground. Sailor Moon pulls out her scepter. "Silver Moon Crystal…."

Soundesign quickly unleashes a bolt of black energy at Sailor Moon. It hits her before she can finish her attack. She falls to the ground in surprise and pain. Soundesign takes this opportunity and disappears. The binds around Sailor Mars's arms disappear and she helps Sailor Moon in an alley. Sailor Moon looks around. "Where'd it go?"

Sailor Mars looked back at her. "I don't know. That was weird for a nega attack. Are you ok?"

"I'm fine."

"We should head back to the temple and see what's up."

They detransformed and ran to the temple as fast as their legs could carry them. Serena ran as fast as she could but she was hit harder than she thought and was in a lot of pain. As she ran she couldn't help but wonder if this is the end of her normal life. She began to feel something she had never felt before it scared her at first but only at first. As they continued to run she welcomed this new feeling.
