Sailor Moon is a product of Bandai, Toei, and the illustrious Naoko Takeuchi.

You can take this fic and put it on your page/blog, just shoot me a message and tell me that you did.

Just as long as I receive credit for the story.

Hoping everyone is enjoying the story so far! I've had some awesome guesses, and several correct ones! I love seeing who everyone thinks it is! It's great! As for Chronos' reference to the descendants of the original pantheon. This was a spin on Greek mythology, and a little hidden homage from myself.

In Greek Mythology the "Pantheon" consisted of twelve gods/goddesses; Zeus (Jupiter), Hera, Poseidon(Neptune), Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares (Mars), Aphrodite (Venus), Hephaestus. Hermes (Mercury) and either Hestia or Dionysus depending on who you ask. Persephone and Hades were also included sometimes. Thus why he was referencing the "original pantheon's descendants", Selene was not part of the Pantheon and thus why he harbors a slight distaste for her lineage.

vinterthunder: So glad you're enjoying it! It's fun to write! Keep guessing!

xSmallLadySerenity13: Wish granted! :)

Flareup4Ratchet: You are correct with the second and last guesses! And yes, just the Senshi!

Isis Aurora Tomoe: You got one guess correct! Not Cleopatra though, but there is one Queen Pharaoh listed! :)

PrincessRaena SS: You are super close! Flip Haruka and Makoto. And you are correct on the third identity! And the last! It was so difficult to choose which one to be the Amazonian Queen. They both fit the bill perfectly. Glad you're enjoying the story!

enya: So glad you liked it!

Guest (1): Yay!

Guest (2): Glad you're enjoying the story!

In a blinding flash of light, Usagi, Mamoru and the Shitennou were back at the Hikawa Jinja Shrine. They were all silent, mouths slightly agape. Usagi appeared to be lifeless.

"They're gone. They're really gone." Tears started to well in her cerulean eyes.

"We'll get them back Usako. You've got us. We'll figure this out." Mamoru whispered, wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

"Can I help you young folks?" They heard a voice from behind them.

Jun stared slightly stunned. He started to speak to the old Shinto Priest, but Satsuki cut him off.

"No sir, we were just admiring your lovely temple and this nice weather. We'll be on our way now." The youngest Shitennou quickly stated, grabbed Jun by the shirt sleeve and motioning for them all to leave.

Once they were a safe distance down the stairs, Jun pulled his arm back.

"What the hell, man?! He acted like he didn't even know us! I mean I know Rei isn't with us at the moment, but that doesn't mean he has to act like that!" Jun fumed.

"That's because Rei doesn't exist." Satsuki quickly put. "None of them do, or did. Remember? Chronos said he was sending them back in time."

"So they never existed in this time." Keisuke nodded in realization.

They all let out a long sigh. It was true then.

"So where do we even start? We only have two days! How can we find them all in two days?" Usagi started to wail.

"No no. He said two "days of the sun"." Satsuki again spoke, looking as if he was in deep thought. "Ok, he sent them to ancient world. In ancient times the days were named slightly different, Day of the Sun, Day of the Moon. We have a week guys. Two days of the Sun would be a week. Sunday to Sunday." He roughly ran a hand through his messy hair. "Let's get to the library. Between their archives, computers and our smartphones surely we can dig something up."

"Which one do we start with first? What was the first saying?" Noburo asked.

Satsuki grinned a menacing grin. Pulling out his iPhone Mamoru had graciously given them. Clicking away on his screen. They all stood wide eyed, as the booming voice of a god, played over his speaker.

"YOU TAPED HIM?!" Jun screeched. "You taped a fucking deity, man?! He's liable to smite us at any minute!"

"He didn't say we couldn't." Satsuki smiled. "Anyway, I'm not saying this because she's my wife. But we need to find Ami first. With her here, we can comb through twice the amount of data. And we need to use every minute wisely. I assume she is the first one he mentioned."

"She will be among the philosophers. The greatest female mind of her time, perhaps of all the ages. Knowledge is key."

He clicked the message off as they arrived at the library.

"She will be among the philosophers." Satsuki groaned as he again combed through several articles.

"Don't frustrate yourself man. I think your overthinking this." Noburo tried to encourage his genius comrade. "Who's one of the smartest women ever?"

It was as if a light bulb went off inside Satsuki's brain.

"That's right! I was focusing too much on the other part of the message." His fingers furiously typing across the keyboard. "Philosophers, knowledge, intelligent woman. It can only be one person!" The others stared, awaiting an answer. "Hypatia of Alexandria!" He nearly shouted.

"Of course!" Jun exclaimed. "Who's Hypatia?" He shrugged.

"One of the smartest women who ever lived, that's who. In fact Ami might get a little miffed that we dragged her away from being the head of the Platonist school of Alexandria." Satsuki laughed.

They all walked outside and down the alleyway.

"Setsuna." Usagi softly called into her communicator.

"You have a location in mind?" She asked, immediately appearing before them.

"Yes, 415 A.D, Alexandria, Egypt." Satsuki smiled.

"I will illegally suggest you change with the disguise pen first." Setsuna smiled.

Usagi handed it to the blonde Shitennou.

"Just think of whatever you want to look like. It will work on all of us." She relinquished the pen.

"Uggghhh, I will never get used to that sickly feeling." Jun bent over, willing himself not to be sick. "Mortals are not meant for time travel."

"Well, here we are." Mamoru muttered. "Where do we start?"

"We need to find the Neoplatonist School." Satsuki slowly made his way down the shoreline of the bustling port.

They were surrounded by large and small boats, merchants and swathes of people.

"Oh that's pretty." Usagi squealed pointing across the bay.

"That is the Lighthouse of Alexandria. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it took twenty years and the equivalent of three hundred million Yen to build and was the tallest structure in the world for a great while. Pretty amazing to see it in real life." Satsuki smirked; as the pair gazed upwards at the towering structure. It was massive for the age in which it was built, standing over 400 feet tall; constructed by the most talented masons and of the finest marble, and stone to be had at the time. There were three stages to the mighty tower, each built on top of each other; similar to a modern day skyscraper. A mighty fire blazed in the top of the tower, requiring constant fuel sources, also in the top of the tower an enormous polished concave bronze mirror was used to project the fire's light into a beam. The structure was liberally decorated with statues of the gods, Poseidon and his son Triton.

They continued down the shoreline and were met with a vast array of merchant stalls. The road was lined with the people, it was bustling. Usagi couldn't help but stare in delight as they approached several stalls they had the most delicious looking salted meats and fish. Bins bursting full of grapes, figs, pomegranates and a vast array of colorful melons. Mamoru simply laughed as he urged her on. Next they came to the textile merchants; the road was lined with the finest spun silk, Egyptian linen and richly dyed woven fabrics. As they approached the end of the port, the spice traders all spilled out into the roadway with their amazing collection of exotic and beautiful whole and ground spices. The air was filled with the scent of spicy pepper, musky myrrh and rich frankincense. Satsuki continued past them at a rapid pace, ignoring their heed and sales pitches. At the end of the harbor he made a sharp left, then a right down a small cobblestone street.

"My friend, it's as if you had been here before. Are you certain you were not reincarnated here at some point?" Keisuke asked the youngest Shitennou, finally catching up to him. "You seem to know your way around rather well, considering we are very far away from home."

Satsuki slightly blushed. "No, it's just. I know it's ludicrous. But it's as if I can feel Ami's aura pulsing, beckoning me. If I'm reading these signs correctly, I'm a little rusty with my ancient texts; the Platonic school of Alexandria should be close by. If she isn't there, she will almost assuredly be at the Great Library."

Keisuke nodded. "Just remember, she doesn't know you. Don't go bursting into the room calling her Ami. Ami does not exist and will just complicate an already delicate situation."

"Here we are, I believe. I think I should go alone. It would be strange if we all were to go inside. We're already getting peculiar looks. None of us are blending in very easily." Satsuki noted some of the quick glances they were receiving.

"Let Usagi go with you. Remember, Chronos said just a touch. So try to get her close." Mamoru tried to sound as encouraging as possible.

He slowly walked through the curtained doorway, Usagi in tow. They started down a narrow corridor, to what appeared to be a large primitive lecture hall. The seats were carved with stone, curving around the room like a modern day gathering place.

"Are you looking for someone in particular, stranger?" A voice asked. Satsuki turned to face an older looking man.

"Yes, sir. Is the great lady Hypatia currently here?" He asked.

"What do you want with Lady Hypatia?" The man snarled, slowly reaching into his tunic.

"I mean her no harm. You see my sister and I have traveled a long distance and have heard much about the great lady in question. We only wished to speak with her. My people are archaic you see, and I wish to learn. "Satsuki tried to sound as meek as possible. He slightly exhaled as he saw the man relax.

"My name is Orestes. A good friend of Hypatia. Tensions around Alexandria have been rather high as of late. You can never be too careful. Hypatia is here, if you would care to follow me. Where are you from Traveler? Do you have a name?" The imposing man inquired.

Satsuki quickly tried to come up with a story and aliases. "My name is Sigdag, this is my sister Swanhilda. We are from a small tribe of Salian Franks." He gulped, hoping his story seamed feasible.

"Ah, thus why you are so fair skinned, and your peculiar dialect. I am surprised you are not burned by the hot Alexandrian sun." The man almost jested. "You will learn much if Hypatia decides you are suitable for her tutelage. She embodies learning and science, progress. She is a very charismatic teacher; it just comes so naturally to her. Her ability in making difficult mathematical and philosophical concepts understandable to her students is unprecedented. She just finished a lecture with some younger pupils on the astrolabe and other astronomical observational aspects."

Usagi remained quiet, she knew little about whatever it was the two men were discussing. She also realized one slip up here, and they might never be able to find Ami. They continued down the hallway, Orestes stopped at a small door and gave three small knocks. Inside a voice granted them entry.

Satsuki felt his heart begin to pound. What if he was wrong? What if they had wasted all of this time looking for Ami, for her not to be here?

Orestes opened the door slightly, he entered. He spoke to Hypatia, who did not return the conversation. Orestes explained who they were and what they were here for. He exited, nodding to Satsuki.

"You may enter. I will remain out here. You have limited time; Lady Hypatia is rather busy today."

Satsuki and Usagi nearly burst through the door; the suspense was just too much. There was a petite woman standing in front of a large window. Her hair braided neatly and lay on her shoulder. Usagi could see from here it was dark ebony, but in the sunlight she could see a slight iridescent sapphire undertone.

"Forgive Orestes, he is overly protective." The woman turned, immediately locking eyes with Satsuki.

"You are indeed a Frank. Although, you seem familiar. Have we perhaps been introduced before?" Hypatia questioned.

It took everything in Usagi's power not to go and embrace the girl. It was Ami, absolutely no question now that they could get a good look of her features. Her voice remained the same.

"Highly doubtful, my Lady. We have traveled from a very long way away. May I?" Satsuki asked glancing down at the advanced Geometry calculation she was currently looking at. Hypatia seemed surprised, but only nodded. He took the primitive pen from her hand, gently, and began furiously writing. This had piqued the woman's interest, she began leaning over his shoulder. Satsuki finished, handing her back the antique writing implement. She immediately cocked an eyebrow, and remained silent quickly gazing over his work.

"It seems there may be an available slot for you at our school after all, Sigdag." She smiled.

"Would you both like to accompany me to my home? It has been a rather strenuous day, and I wish to retire for the evening." Hypatia asked. Satsuki and Usagi looked to each other and nodded. "Orestes will accompany us on our way home. He would fuss, otherwise." She turned to walk out.

Satsuki inwardly grimaced; he was hoping that the walk home would be the golden opportunity they needed. He knew if Usagi went to grab Ami, and failed all could be lost. It could very well seem like an assassination attempt of sorts, especially considering they were outsiders. They needed her away from prying eyes.

The group exited the school, heading east. Satsuki locked eyes with Keisuke, holding up his hand signaling them to hold back. He knew, Orestes suspicions would be aroused if more unknown travelers began to follow them home.

"I hear the Frankish lands are quite beautiful." Hypatia broke the silence of their walk.

"Indeed, my Lady. It's a bit more lush and green than here. Although the winters are much colder." Satsuki softly spoke. He immediately cursed himself, as he watched Ami wrinkle her brow.

"Winter?" She asked, in an odd dialect trying to copy his own.

"Sorry my lady, Wintruz. Some of our words are hard to conjugate into Roman. It is the equivalent of your Peret, or growing season." He sighed, as she seemed to accept this.

"I hear it snows there. I would like to see snow one day, it sounds rather interesting." She smiled as they continued on their trek.

"Your sister is rather quiet. Is she mute?" Hypatia asked turning and giving Usagi a warm grin. "She is beautiful; I would keep her safe from the wolves here in Alexandria. I am not referring to a great four-legged furried beast." Ami chuckled.

"She is not familiar with your language. Well enough to hold an intricate conversation. I will keep her safe no worries." Satsuki puffed out his chest.

Satsuki noticed that Orestes had stopped just ahead of them. A large group of Monks had gathered in the street. One made stepped forward, his face mostly hidden by his cloak.

"What is it you wish, Peter?" Orestes demanded.

Satsuki felt the color drain from his face.

"Peter the Lector?" He asked in his hushed voice. Hypatia nodded, looking at Satsuki very quizzically. "My lady, we must get you to safety immediately." Satsuki demanded attempting to take her hand.

"I am fine here with Orestes, Sigdag." Ami huffed, pulling her arm away from his.

"We demand the Pagan Witch! Orestes she has clouded your vision and hexed your mind! She must die before our great city falls to these Pagan swine!" The man shouted, nearly frothing at the mouth.

"Be gone from here, Peter. And take your fiendish mob with you. You have no business here, or with Lady Hypatia." Orestes turned his back on the angry group, and began swiftly walking back towards Hypatia. As he did he was rushed by several men, they grabbed his arms attempting to tie him down.

"Run Hypatia!" He screamed.

The trio bolted down a side street, more followers were lying in wait, Satsuki quickly grabbed Ami's hand. They sprinted down a small alleyway, and were suddenly trapped. Satsuki pushed Usagi and Ami behind him. Slowly drawing out two small daggers from his tunic.

"Now would be a good time to try, Usagi." He muttered, as the mob grew closer.

Suddenly raucous broke out, as Mamoru and the other Shitennou arrived and began to try and fight their way towards Satsuki.

Usagi swallowed hard, quickly gathering herself.

"Hypatia, give me your hand please." She spoke strongly.

Ami seemed to balk. This girl obviously spoke their language fluently.

"Are you with them? Are you an enemy? I assure you, I am no witch." Ami backed herself into the wall.

"I mean you no harm; just allow me to take your hand for a moment." Usagi pleaded as she watched the Shitennou struggling to contain the large group of angry men.

Usagi lunged, grasping the woman's hand. She began to panic as nothing happened. But slowly, a faint blue glow emanated from her palm and the shining sapphire symbol of Mercury emblazed on Ami's forehead.

"Usagi? What's going on?" The bluenette asked.

"AMI!" Usagi squealed in delight, wrapping her friend in to a tight embrace. "Pluto!" She shouted.

All around them, the scene froze as the Guardian of the Time Gates appeared before them.

"Excellent work. One down. Better get going, I have some mending of the time stream to do here." Setsuna nodded.

"Here we go again." A nearly green faced Jun whined,

So? What do you think? I love everyone trying to guess! It's great! I have received so many pm's! This is actually super fun to write, and when finished I will definitely being reversing it for the Shitennou. As always, thank you for reading!
