Chapter 1: The Negaverse Awakens; Sailor Moon is Born

A/N I do not own Sailor Moon but I do own this story and its plot

Serena was on her way to school when she found kids bullying a small kitten so she approached.

"Stop it. Leave that poor kitten alone." Serena said.

The kids ran off and Serena picked up the kitten and removed the bandages placed on her forehead. When she saw the crescent moon symbol she gasped.

"Luna is that you?" Serena asked the poor little kitten.

The cat immediately nodded and spoke, "Princess Serena is that you? How is it you remember the moon kingdom when I'm just remembering now?" Luna asked the young girl in front of her.

Serena told Luna what she suspected. She then told Luna where she was living which happened to be with her mother's sister and Andrew her cousin who was also from the moon kingdom.

When she got to school she met up with her friend Molly and sat down. Their teacher handed out their tests at the end of the day, Serena had received a 95 on so she was ultimately happy. Serena went with Molly to her mother's store where she found dark vibes coming at her in waves. Molly's mother's necklace turned into a monster when Luna arrived. Serena knew what to do and grabbed her locket, "Moon Prism Power," she called.

"Hold it I am Sailor Moon and I fight for love and justice and in the name of the moon I shall punish you," Sailor Moon said and attacked the monster. "Moon Tiara Magic," Serena yelled flinging her tiara at the monster which immediately turned into dust. Molly's mother feinted and Sailor Moon disappeared but not before the press got the entire fight on tape.

Meanwhile Darien and his friends were at the Crown Arcade.

"Jed do you think we'll find her?" Darien asked his friend.

"I don't know Darien maybe she has her mem…" Jed began but was cut off by the news.

"This just in, a weird monster attacked a shop near Juuban High school and a young warrior who called herself Sailor Moon arrived on the scene. The Mayor would like to thank her and hopes she'll continue to protect the city." The announcer said and showed the film of the attack. Darien and his friends gasped and realized why they had felt the pull to transform themselves but didn't know why and now they did.

Serena got home and sighed heavily; she missed her mother, her friends and Darien, she hoped that wherever they were they were safe. She gave her test to her Aunt and Andrew and they were very happy with her mark so they celebrated. Serena then went up to her room where she found Luna waiting for her.

"Serena you do know that I have the other scouts power wands, but I have no idea of what happened to the Imperium Silver Crystal." Luna said.

"If and when we find them Luna they are not to know that I am the princess; they'll find out on their own when we find the crystal. Understood?" Serena asked her guardian.

"Yes Princess." Luna replied.

Serena decided the next day that she would go and see her cousin Andrew at the arcade, not knowing that her mission was about to get a lot harder. She put on a nice black skirt and a nice tight top, she was after all sixteen.

When she walked into the arcade she was greeted by Andrew with a hug and her usual chocolate milkshake. She in turn sat at the counter talking to him. All of a sudden there was a loud scream and she jumped out of her seat and ran to the alley.

"Moon Prism Power," Serena called transforming into her sailor scout uniform. She ran back out of the alley and began her attack on the monster not knowing that Darien was watching from the roof top.

"Darien she may not even be the Princess." Malachite said dressed in his suit and mask standing with the others.

"I know but she pulls at me and besides we have a planet to protect." The prince said and the others nodded ready to rush to the young Sailor' aid.

Meanwhile Sailor Moon arrived on the scene. "I am Sailor Moon, the champion of love and justice and in the name of the moon I will punish you." Serena yelled as she watched her opponent.

She found herself backed into the corner with the monster approaching, all of a sudden the monster screamed in agony and she immediately went for Tiara, "Moon Tiara Magic," she called and the monster was dusted.

When Serena turned to face her saviors she gasped, "Malachite, Jadeite, Nephlite, Zoicite is that really you? Who is that with you?" she asked them. She then found herself being crushed by the four guys in a hug.

"Princess Serena it is you," they cried together but then the fourth voice spoke, "How could she be if she doesn't even remember me?" Darien said as he removed his mask and changed his uniform from the knight to his prince uniform.

Serena turned, "Darien? Oh Darien I missed you." She said and lunged herself into his arms. They all decided to go to Darien's place to talk.

"If you guys all have your memories as well then so should the girls," Serena said. Luna however interrupted her, "No princess they didn't, the Queen wanted you six to have your memories incase of attacks but also to remember her and your lives in the Silver Millennium."

Serena sighed and Darien held her close to him, "Serena it'll be o.k. we will find them and defeat the Negaverse ourselves." Darien reassured her.

"Your right but for now I'm just Sailor Moon and Darien is only Tuxedo Mask none of the others are to know until we find the silver crystal. I'll meet you guys at the arcade after school unless there is another attack before then. Luna gives Darien his communicator and the others as well," Serena said and Luna gave them their communicators.

"I'll contact you with this Darien. Bye." She kissed his cheek and exited the door running all the way home.

"Serena your home late, what are you doing?" Serena's Aunt asked. Serena nodded to Luna who then used her lunar mind meld to give the aunt her memories back.

"Serena you're fighting as Sailor Moon. Princess that's too dangerous," her Aunt said.

"I'm perfectly fine and besides I'm not alone Darien still has his memories and he will protect me you know that." Serena said and gave her a hug.

Serena then brushed her hair and went to sleep with a smile on her face.

The next morning Serena was up early and walked to school. She met up with Molly who was sitting in her seat with a new girl beside her, "Morning Molly. How's your mother?" she asked her friend.

"She's alright Serena she doesn't remember a thing." Molly said.

Serena looked at the new girl and did a double take; she looked exactly like Sailor Mercury her friend Ami.

"Hi my name is Serena and you must be Ami?" Serena said introducing herself.

"Yes I am. Would you care to show me to my computer class it near some kind of arcade?" Ami asked as she looked at Serena.

"Sure come on I have the afternoon off and I study at the arcade so I'll take you to your class. See ya later Molly," Serena replied and said goodbye to Molly and going out the front doors

Serena left Ami at her computer class and then left for her meeting with the guys. Upon her arrival at the arcade Andrew smiled as she went by the counter to a booth where a bunch of guys were sitting.

"Hi guys, hi Darien." Serena said sitting down beside Darien and leaning in to his side. Suddenly she heard a scream coming from the computer room next to the arcade and she ran out.

"Serena wait… Come on guys let's go." Darien said bounding after Serena with the guys quickly following.

Serena found a monster holding Ami as a hostage, but what shocked Serena the most was the bright sign on her forehead; the sign of Mercury. "Moon Prism Power" Serena yelled and transformed into her Sailor scout uniform.

The monster looked at her and dropped Ami, "Who are you?" it growled.

"I am Sailor Moon champion of love and justice and in the name of the moon I'll punish you." However before she could finish her sentence the monster attacked as Luna and the guys came into the room.

"Sailor Moon," Zoicite yelled and Luna was watching Ami and saw her sign, "Ami use this and shout Mercury Power." Luna said pushing the wand towards the girl.

Ami picked up the wand, "Mercury Power. Mercury bubbles blast." Ami yelled confusing the monster when Serena woke up.

"Moon Tiara Magic," Serena called thrusting the tiara at the monster which immediately on impact turned to dust. "Welcome to the Sailor Scouts Ami, I'm Serena and these are Tuxedo Mask, Tuxedo Samurai, Tuxedo Galatica, Tuxedo Wisdom and Tuxedo Stars also known as Darien, Zoicite, Jadeite, Malachite and Nephlite. Our mission is not only to protect the Earth, but also to find the moon princess and the Imperium Silver Crystal." Serena told Ami and they all walked to the arcade. But before entering the Arcade she pulled all of the guys to the side except for Darien.

"You guys can not tell the scouts when we find them about your past lives together they have to come to know you again in this life time." Serena said and then walked into the arcade and sat down beside Darien who grabbed her hand while the others sat down.

Serena and Ami then decided to go back to Serena's house to study and do their homework. Darien kissed her cheek and then he left with the guys to go back to their flat. Ami called her mother and told her that she was staying at friend's house to do homework and not to worry.

Once Serena reached her room while Ami was on the phone Luna started to talk with Serena. "Serena you know it's not fair to them." Luna said.

"I won't reveal myself until I have to especially with an enemy around. Luna it's too dangerous not only to me but to the entire world." Serena explained as Ami came back into the room forcing the conversation to be finished.

"Luna do you think we will find the other scouts before Beryl does?" Serena asked her guardian.

"I don't know Serena but I know Artemis would be with Venus, he was her guardian. Don't worry we'll find them all." Luna replied.

Luna proceeded to tell Ami about the Silver Millennium but not too much and then they all went to sleep. Ami used Serena's bed while Serena slept on the bed near the window where she stared at the moon, "I won't let you down Queen Serenity, mother." Serena whispered and fell asleep.

The next morning Serena and Ami went to school and met up with Molly. They had exams that morning in history and math which they all passed. These were now finished their exams and were officially on summer vacation. When they were finished they went to the arcade where they found the guys waiting for them.

"Darien what's wrong?" Serena asked.

"There have been bus disappearances near the shrine. Luna said that we should check it out but the guys and I have work." Darien replied.

"We'll check it out and if we find trouble I'll contact you." Serena said and Darien nodded leaving them to go to work.

Serena had Andrew give her, her shake before walking out of the arcade while she watched Ami watch Zoicite leave with Darien. They both walked to the temple but Serena again did a double take when she saw the young girl standing there, who looked exactly like Rei; Sailor Mars. Serena and Ami continued up the walk way where Serena introduced them.

"Hi my name is Serena and this is Ami," Serena said to the raven haired priestess in front of them.

"My name is Rei and my grandfather owns the shrine, come on up and I'll introduce you to him," Rei said.

They followed Rei into the shrine when they heard a scream and Rei was thrown through a black portal. Serena jumped through as it closed leaving Ami and Luna alone. "Don't worry Ami Serena can take care of herself?" Luna said trying to reassure the girl.

Once she went through the portal she found Rei being held by a monster but she was once again distracted by the sign of mars on the girl's forehead. The ravens that followed Rei attacked the monster making it drop Rei to the ground and Serena helped her up.

"Rei take this wand and yell Mars power." Serena told her handing her a power wand.

"Mars Power." Rei called being transformed in her sailor uniform. "Serena what? How?" Rei asked stammering.

"Moon Prism Power," Serena yelled smiling at Rei. "Let's double team him Mars, use your fire at the same time I will use my Tiara." Serena said and Rei nodded.

"Mars Fire Ignite," she called.

"Moon Tiara Magic," Serena called and sent her Tiara through the stream of fire where it hit the monster and it was destroyed in a pile of dust.

"Rei welcome to the sailor scouts. Our mission is to protect the Earth but also to find the moon princess and the Imperium silver crystal. Ami is sailor mercury and then there are five knights who you'll meet later." Serena told Rei who just nodded.

"Hey Sailor's need a lift?" asked Tuxedo Galatica.

Serena laughed and jumped onto the bus with Rei. Outside of the portal they noticed the other knights and Mercury waiting. They all powered down and went to the arcade.

"Darien, Malachite, Jadeite, Nephlite this is Rei she is Sailor Mars." Serena said introducing the guys. When they were done at the arcade Serena let Darien drive her home.

Outside of Serena's house she turned, "Darien I love you but you and I have to leave the way they are for now. Once our true identities are revealed then we can be together more intimately but always know that I love you my Prince." Serena said kissing his cheek.

"I love you too Princess good night," Darien said as he got back in the car and drove away.

Serena used the time getting ready for bed to reflect upon the battle with the enemy. They had been very fortunate that the enemy had only been put to steal energy but now they had one far enough to attack the rainbow crystal carriers. She knew she would soon have her court back and Darien would be out in the open as the Prince. Serena went to bed that night thinking about the Moon Kingdom and her childhood.

The next morning Serena decided she would ask Andrew if she could help out around the arcade. She told Luna last night to give her cousin back his memories so he would know why she would have to dash off during work. She walked into the arcade and watched as Luna gave Andrew back his memories. As she approached she noticed Andrew do a slight bow.

"Andy don't do that for now I'm only the leader of the sailor Scouts; Sailor Moon. The girls don't know either and they won't find out until I retrieve the Imperium Silver crystal." Serena said as she hugged Andrew.

"Now Andrew you could use more help around here. So how about giving me a job, huh?" Serena asked and Andrew nodded.

"Why not you practically live here any ways. Go ahead you can start now and you already know how everything works around here anyways. I'll be back in an hour I have a doctor's appointment." Andrew said.

Serena nodded and grabbed an apron to start work in, which she simply tied over top her long skirt and tank top. That's how Darien saw her as he walked in; waiting tables and clearing them.

"Serena what are you doing?" Darien asked as he kissed her cheek.

"I'm working, Andrew gave me the job he's my cousin after all and I know how everything works so instead of him hiring someone and having to train them I offered. Now let me get you your favorite chocolate shake along with the guys as well." Serena said as both Ami and Rei walked through the door but stopped shocked at seeing Serena running the arcade.

They went and sat down with Darien watched as Serena brought them all their favorite drinks.

"Uh oh you guys trouble outside you'll need to handle it without me for the moment. Andrew should be back from his meeting soon, but if you really need me call and I will come." Serena told the others.

Five minutes later her communicator chimed, "Sailor Moon we need you, real bad." They said. This happened as Andrew came back into the arcade and seeing her expression knew something was wrong.

"Well what are you waiting for Sere get out there." Andrew said tying his apron on and taking her tray and order pad from her.

Serena dashed out of the room and into the alley way to transform then she went to help her friends. When she got there she found Lita who she had met earlier in the arcade with the 4th sign of Jupiter on her forehead. She then saw that the generals were down and that Darien, Rei and Ami were having trouble with the monster.

"Mars grab the guys and get out of here with the rainbow crystal. I've got this." Serena said and watched as Mars grabbed the crystal.

"Alright Mercury I need your bubbles." Serena said and Ami stepped up.

"MERCURY BUBBLES BLAST," Ami yelled and the monster got confused and dropped Lita.

Serena helped her up, "Lita take this and shout Jupiter Power." Serena said handing Lita her power wand.

"JUPITER POWER," Lita yelled and transformed into Sailor Jupiter, she looked around and found her friend Joe's hat on the ground. "On behalf of Jupiter, SUPREME THUNDER CRASH."

Luna then gave Serena the crescent moon wand and Serena knew what to do. "MOON HEALING ACTIVATION." Serena and Lita then watched as the monster turned back into Joe and then she turned to Lita who was staring at the uniform and the power coursing through her.

"I'm Serena, Mars is Rei, Mercury is Ami. The guys you'll meet later at the arcade. We fight to protect the Earth, but we also search for the moon princess and the Imperium silver crystal. Welcome to the team." Serena said and they walked back to the arcade arm in arm.

Upon entering the arcade Serena pulled the others into the lounge, "Darien, Malachite, Jadeite, Nephlite, Rei, Ami this is Lita she is Sailor Jupiter. Well I'm off Andrew. See you guys but I have to open tomorrow, Good night." She walked out of the arcade and walked home.

Weeks passed and the battles grew more furious as time passed. They now had two rainbow crystals but the bad news was that the enemy had five. Darien decided he would dual Korinite for the others winner takes all. A fake Sailor Moon arrived to trap Darien, while Kunzite trapped the others in a dome. Darien got hit by Korinite and fled after being saved by a mysterious Sailor Scout. He then made his way to fight Kunzite and save the others but realized h was out matched.

"Let them go, I'll give you the crystals." Darien said.

"He's not giving you anything mega creeps." Said a voice unseen.

"Up here guys." Yelled the voice.

"Where did you come from?" Kunzite asked.

"I am Sailor Venus. VENUS CRESCENT BEAM SMASH." Venus yelled breaking the force field around the others freeing them.

"That's right scouts. I'm Artemis, Sailor Venus' guardian. We are united again." Artemis said while the enemies escaped.

"I wonder where Darien went. I'll catch up with you guys later, meet me at the arcade in the morning. See ya." Serena said.

The next morning Serena decided to follow Darien after telling Andrew she wouldn't be in that morning and to tell the girls she was following Darien.

"Darien what happened and why are you bleeding?" Serena asked.

"Stay out of this Serena." Darien said walking away from her.

Serena however followed him to the entrance of the starlight tower.

"Darien what's going on? Where are we?" Serena asked.

"It's o.k. Serena I'll do everything in my power to protect you." Darien said.

The elevator they were on stopped as they reached Korinite who sent fire down upon them and Serena transformed as did Darien.

"Korinite let's do this, but you have to guarantee Sailor Moons safety first." Darien said but so careful as to not run into a trap.

Darien and Korinite faced off but before either moved Darien was stabbed in the back and collapsed as the other scouts came into the room. Serena had Darien's head on her lap and was crying, "Oh Darien." As she said this a tear rolled onto her cheek and the rainbow crystals appeared then came back together forming the Imperium Silver Crystal. The crystal attached itself to the Crescent moon wand, and the Sailor Scouts were shocked to see that Serena had been transformed into the Princess of the moon.

Serena grabbed the wand, "COSMIC MOON POWER," Serena yelled and sent Korinite into the wall behind her. Instead of feinting she stood garbed in her Princess gown and turned around to Darien and placed his hand on the star locket which transformed him into the Prince automatically healing him. "Now we are Free." Serena said as they powered down into their lesser form.

The other Sailor Scouts were amazed but it didn't last too long as they noticed Kunzite appear once again.

"Your coming with me Tuxedo Mask." Kunzite yelled but got no where.

"COSMIC MOON POWER," Serena yelled throwing Kunzite against the wall like she had previously done to Korinite.

"Scouts time to go. Ami have you figured a way out of here." Serena asked and Ami nodded.

They all followed Ami out of the building, where they powered down. They decided to meet at the arcade. Serena feinted after using so much power, so Darien carried her into the arcade, Andrew saw this and closed the arcade.

"Prince Darien what happened?" Andrew asked as Darien put Serena down on the couch in the lounge.

"She feinted after revealing her true form and the crystal. She also used to much power at once." Darien replied taking the drink Andrew made for him.

Serena stirred and woke up, "Darien are you o.k.?" Serena asked him.

"Yes, I'm fine Serena." Darien replied.

"I guess you all want to know how I knew what to do with the crystal. Well I still have all of my memories from the silver millennium as does Darien and the generals. We had to keep our identities from Beryll but because of recent events our secret has become impossible to keep. I however do not have the power to give you your memories back yet. Using the crystal takes energy and I don't have the required about of energy right now. Now however Darien and I are in so much more danger now that Beryll knows who we are." Serena said.

Instead of being mad at her the scouts enveloped her in a huge hug, "It's o.k. Serena we'll protect you and the prince from Beryll," they said.

Serena nodded, she was now seventeen and of age in Tokyo so she was being bumped to grade twelve because of her grades along with Ami and the others. As Serena and Darien decided to stay in the lounge, so the others stayed with them.

The day flew bye and Serena was quite busy in the arcade, she also had many things on her mind, like why Andrew suddenly disappeared and why Beryll hadn't attacked yet. Serena then got a black envelop with a picture inside it; the picture was a picture of Andrew and on the back held the message, 'He's Mine'. Serena was in a rage but she wouldn't let it bother her while she still had a few customers left. As soon as they left she broke down and cried, this is the way Darien found her when he came to pick her up. Darien decided he was going to take the rest of the summer off, he told his work he had a family emergency at home and he was needed there.

Another week passed and every night the girls would stay with Serena and her Aunt to make sure they were o.k. however they were not the only ones who were being careful the generals were constantly with Darien. Being watched was driving Serena and Darien crazy so they decided to call a meeting.

They all went to an abandoned place where they found a portal leading them right to the entrance of two tunnels. Luna and Artemis went one way while the others went down the other. The scouts were attacked by Kunzite but he missed.

"JUPITER THUNDER CRASH." Jupiter yelled but it didn't even hurt the man. Kunzite attacked but Serena's wand lit up and sent them through a portal to the moon where they encountered Queen Serenity.

"Mother?" Serena said starting to tear up realizing where she was and what happened the last time she had been to this place.

"Since you are all here it's time for the Scouts to learn the truth." Queen Serenity said.

"Mother, please seeing this once was bad enough. Please don't make me or Darien go through it again." Serena said.

"Don't worry Serena, you and Darien may explore the moon if you wish, while the others stay here and relive their past." Queen Serenity.

Serena and Darien walked around when Serena broke down crying at the sight of where her mother's crown lay.

"Serena, we'll save the Earth, I know it. Beryll is at a disadvantage because of your heart and ability to use the Silver crystal." Darien said and he picked her up and carried her to the platform where the others had just finished receiving their memories.

They all saw Serena clutching a crown in her arms and they winced. Queen Serenity hugged her daughter, "I'll always be with you, my beautiful Serena. Good luck." Queen Serenity.

They were all were sent back down to the Earth, with Serena still holding the crown which she then hid on her person. Kunzite could be heard terrorizing both Luna and Artemis.

Serena dashed off in a rage, "This is low even for scum like you. Your going down mega sleeze." Serena said and Kunzite turned to see Sailor Moon, Prince Darien and their respective courts behind them.

He attacked Sailor Moon but the crystal diverted his attack. "Venus Power." "Mercury Power." "Mars Power." "Jupiter Power." Serena then stood up, "Cosmic Moon Power."

Kunzite attacked but the power of the crystal threw his attack back at him and he disappeared.

"It's time to trash Queen Beryll what do you say guys, Scouts." Serena asked them.

"Trash her," they all yelled.

Each scout transformed and they stood together in a circle. They reached into themselves, pulling their powers together and teleported out of Tokyo with the Generals and Darien. One by one each scout disappeared to the Bloom and Doom girls. Serena was left by herself with the Generals and Darien. They found Andrew who had been taken by Beryll and once Andrew touched his mother's locket he was free again.

Beryll threw a sharp crystal at Serena but Darien jumped in front of her and flung a rose threw the crystal and struck, but it hurt Darien.

"Generals get him and the others and leave. I'm going after Beryll." Serena said dashing after Beryll.

"You better enjoy that laugh Beryll; it's the last one you'll ever have. You'll never rule the universe as long as I live." Serena said.

"Better get this over with. Good bye Sailor Moon." Beryll said and encased Serena in a tower of ice. The ice cracked revealing Princess Serena.

"I will defeat you Beryll, in the name of the moon." Serena said.

"You, Pitiful Princess Serena." Beryll said.

"I hear you Luna and I'm not afraid. COSMIC MOON POWER, fight this evil, I'm not letting you win witch. I need all of you, please help me." Serena said.

"Cosmic Moon Power Unite. Leave our memories. Beryll is one." Serena said.

Weeks later Serena and the other scouts were getting ready for school again. Serena and the others had all advanced courses and would be graduating that year. They still had their memories of what happened to them in the battle with Queen Beryll and they were glad it could be a time of peace.
