On the other side of Tokyo, there was something brewing. Something with evil intentions that was becoming impatient with the time it had to wait to be released.

"Patience may be a virtue, Kyanite, but I do not have it! Nor do I care about it! You and the others had better start collecting pure soul stones for me, or I will not be happy when I am released from this prison! AND GET TO WORK ON SEARCHING FOR THE SEVEN RAINBOW CRYSTALS! When Queen Serenity used the Imperium silver crystal, it broke, and I need you to find the seven people the monsters and the crystals are hiding in!"

"I understand your impatience, my queen, but please, be patient for just a little longer. This is a foreign place for us, as you know, and we have only recently been woken up," said the silver haired woman known as Kyanite.

"This may be so, but it has been five months! You should have started collecting the stones two months ago!"

"My liege, we have to be able to know where we are first, know the perfect places to collect, the perfect people, and we have only just finished scouting. Please believe me when I say that we are doing the best we can, and will start searching for the soul stones very soon. Andalusite and Sillimanite, my beloved sisters, have been working on a very difficult machine that can track down the stones to the person. Then can we head out with our minions."

"Very well. But hurry! I will not like it if I have to wait much longer before I receive my energy!"

"Yes, Queen Halite."

Kyanite walked out of the room, her thigh-length hair streaming behind her due to her swiftness, the light silvery blue tinge shimmering whenever she walked under a light. She was the leader of the secondary generals, who happened to be sisters, and they were very closely knit. They had been woken up five months ago, and have been scouting the area as their queen ordered them to do for soul stones, which appear when the soul is extracted from a human being. If one is able to extract these, they will help them to become immortal – which was Halite's intention. They did not need to get pure ones, because all souls are immortal, but Halite was strict and wanted only the best. Kyanite shook her head at the thought.

Halite was a noble's daughter in the Crystal millennium. She was technically a princess, but she was from a galaxy that was ruled by an evil man in the past – her father – so any offspring of his were viewed warily. Therefore, although Halite was welcome, she was seen as just a noble in the Lunarian solar system, ruled by Serenity and Endymion. She fell in love with the power Serenity had, but knew that she could not just rush up and assassinate her, or her daughter, so she sat in wait, jealousy and hate eating away at her until she had almost no other emotions left. She gathered up an army from galaxies outside the solar system made up of alien races, including many of her own people after she had gained the arts and abilities of hypnosis, brainwashing, and manipulation, motivated by the power she would receive and the revenge she would get for the death of her father.

She was going strong, making herself even more starved on power, and finally picked a date for her reign - the fateful day of the sixteenth celebration of the birth of Serenity's and Endymion's precious daughter, Usagi, and her coming out into society as the heir of the Lunarian throne.

That happy day very soon turned into a disaster, ending in many deaths. Halite could not stop attacking, being always on the offensive because of her crazed hunger, and could not see what Queen Serenity was about to do until it was already done. She had encased Halite in crystal, and sent both her and her army into another dimension, hoping that they would never reach the future she was going to send her own people to. She, however, could not go there herself because she used the silver crystal, killing her unborn child before she herself was killed, so she had time to send the soul of the baby to the future with the others. All Halite could remember hearing her say was, "The past has repeated itself, and we were all too blinded and jaded by happiness and security to see what was coming. Oh kamis…please watch over my people in the future…and may this fate never happen again."

Halite never told even her highest ranking generals this version of the story, so Kyanite could not understand why she kept seeing this in her dreams. She herself was never in them, but she felt a connection with the Queen that she just could not understand. Halite told them when they woke up that the High Queen of the Moon and solar system was evil, and would not give her (Halite) the rightful throne because of her selfishness. But Kyanite and her sisters, when they confided in each other about their own dreams, know that this was not the truth.

"Kyanite?"

"Huh?"

A young woman with ivory hair pulled up in a ponytail was staring into Kyanite's eyes, causing the other woman to jump back in surprise.

"Sillimanite, you startled me."

"Sorry, but I had to see what was going on because you were just standing here in the hallway, staring off into space. What were you thinking about?"

"The story our Queen told us about when we awoke. Why would she tell us something different than what really happened? What we believe is…"

"It would do you well to not question your Queen," said an evil masculine voice cutting her off from speaking. A man with deep red slicked back hair rounded the corner and smirked at them both. "Especially since you are her most trusted general, just under me."

"I wasn't talking to you, Garnet-sama. I was having a private conversation with my sister, so if you would kindly leave us…" A girl with long black hair that reached her waist appeared beside him.

"I think you should listen to Garnet. He is, after all, like me, above you, and more trusted by our queen."

"Onyx, do not provoke them. Be nice. Who knows how these savages will react? It would not do for you to get hurt," he purred. Onyx looked up at him in adoration, her coal black eyes shining in the dull lighting of the corridor.

"Come on, Silla," Kyanite said with disgust. "Let's go. These two aren't worth our time." Before Garnet or Onyx could say anything, the two sisters were gone.

"I could say the very same about them. Let's not waste our time on that, and waste it on something else…" Onyx's eyes grew heavy with lust, and she chuckled as Garnet took her hand and they vanished.

"Andi, how is work on the detector coming along?" Kyanite asked, walking into Andalusite's room.

"Really well, actually. I'm very happy with it." Andalusite was the most technological of the sisters. She always had her hair tied up in a messy bun – which was a very deep brown with creamy, ivory streaks running through it – whenever she was working on something, which was almost always. Kyanite was the leader of the three, being the oldest, and Sillimanite was the youngest. They were triplets; a mere 10 minutes apart from each other, and they all had silver eyes.

"There! Done!" Andalusite shouted. "Finally. Okay, here's a test run." She clicked a number of buttons and typed on the keyboard. Once she was done, an immediate picture popped up on the screen with information about the person. "Here's a handheld version of it, Kyan." She handed the little machine to her older sibling, and started to read about the person. She was in high school, brown hair, blue eyes, 5'3 named Kiori. "Location: Juban high. Let's head out!"

-

"Wow…"

"It's so high!"

"Well duh, Ukyo. It used to be the tallest structure in Japan until the Crystal Millennium came about."

"Oh shut up, Ranma."

"Wow, you actually DO pay attention in class sometimes, Ranma."

"Surprising, isn't it, Akane?" He grumbled at her and turned back to the window.

Ranma may have given a smart ass answer, but he, too, was in complete awe of the view from the top of the Tokyo Tower. The Starlight Tower, which had miraculously withstood the final battle of Zoicite and Sailor Moon a couple of years before the Crystal Millennium truly began, stood not too far North, and could be seen towering over the other buildings and houses of Tokyo. It was refurbished, and is now used as a museum.

-

"Ready, Ky?"

"Ready when you are, Andi."

"Okay. Matsumoto, Kiori, here we come."

The three sisters were right outside the house of Kiori Matsumoto because it was a Saturday, not a school day. The unsuspecting victim was walking out of her house to meet up with her friend who 'called' just a few minutes before, requesting to meet her on the street corner, where there was an alleyway the sisters were hiding in. Just as Kiori appeared, Andalusite grabbed her and took her further inside.

"What in the world are you doing? Who are you?? What do you want from me?"

"Just shut up and stand still. Cobalta, do your stuff!" Andalusite said, just as a black, charred-looking monster landed beside her. Cobalta pinned Kiori to her chest so that the girl couldn't move, and placed one hand on her head, extracting the soul stone.

"Damnit, it's not pure," Kyanite said as she held the tiny blue stone in her hands. Still, it was powerful, and they could all feel it. She placed it over Kiori's head and it sunk back into her body. She noticed that the girl didn't have a rainbow crystal, either. "Look for a rainbow crystal, Andi."

Andalusite took out a sensor and ran it over the girl's body, but it did not vibrate.

"She doesn't have one."

Sillimanite took the girl in her arms and walked to her house. She rang the doorbell with her elbow, and gave Kiori to her mother when she answered the door.

"She fainted by the corner, but I knew she lived here because I saw her walk from here."

"Thank you so much! Kenoru, help me! Kiori's fainted!" the mother yelled to her husband.

"That was sweet of you," Kyanite said when they left the house. Sillimanite shrugged and blushed slightly.

"I couldn't just let her lay there. It's not right. I mean…what we're doing isn't right, but if someone we attack doesn't have what we want, we should treat them with respect."

Kyanite and Andalusite smiled at their youngest triplet.

"We have one more person to attack today – Aiya Ourano," Andalusite said, typing away at her mini detection machine. "This might be a good one. The stones should be glowing pink if they're pure, or slightly pink if they're almost as good. Queen Halite will take those, too."

They nodded, and headed off to where the red dot was on the map.

"This place is so beautiful!" Kasumi said in utter joy. They were in the Starlight Tower. They took their time on each floor reading about the various fights that had taken place there, and what the tower used to be before it was destroyed by the first fight between the senshi, Kunzite, and Zoicite. "This building was used as a radio tower that had a radio and T.V. station at the top of it. That is very interesting! Wow!"

"Hey look," Ukyo said, pointing to a large sigh on the wall beside scorch marks on the wall and up and down the destroyed ancient elevator shaft. "It says here that this was the first time the legendary Sailor Moon showed herself to Tuxedo Mask, who's name was Mamoru Chiba, but she didn't know who he was at that time. She had to save both of them from the fire that Zoisite, one of the four main generals of the Negaverse, threw down at them, so the only thing she could do was transform."

"Guys," Ranma said, motioning them over to where he was standing on the opposite wall. Nabiki read the sign when it became apparent that Ranma was not going to.

"'All of this has been repaired by people in our time, but the writing on the signs was written in the Crystal Millennium by all parties involved, including Queen Serenity herself, as she was friends with the other senshi, her guardians.' Wow…"

"This is really old!" Akane exclaimed. "And so cool!"

"Wow…I can't believe that all of this is linked to…" came a voice from behind them, but it stopped before the sentence was finished. They turned to see a girl about their age with slivery light pink hair done up in two pointed buns on the sides of her head with the rest of her hair trailing down her back in two pony tails. She had reddish, cinnamon colored eyes, and was carrying a fairly large bag. She hurried off, away from the group of listeners.

"Whoa, that was close!"

"Usagi! You can't say things like that in front of people! Even if you don't see anyone around you."

"I know I know. But what I was saying is," she began in a whisper, "I can't believe that all of this is linked to me. But it says on many signs that Sailor Moon disappeared when Queen Serenity came to power. Maybe she died in battle and they gave her a secret warrior's funeral? Ahh! I'm Sailor Moon! What does that mean??"

"I honestly don't know, Usagi. I am sure, however, that we will find out soon enough."

"Let's go upstairs. Maybe we'll learn more about this other Sailor Moon person."

The group of onlookers couldn't hear what was said, nor did they know the pink-haired girl was talking to someone because she had gone far down the hall to the stairwell, then up it.

"That was strange. Oh well." Akane shrugged and walked down the hallway, reading more signs. When they were done, they walked upstairs to the next level, which was a ways up. Once they got there, they saw so much damage, it was hard to believe that the Starlight Tower was truthfully stable.

"The sign says that the ceiling had collapsed while Sailor Moon and Mamoru ran faster and were able to clear it. So, that means, that this room was two rooms, or two floors. They cleared most of the debris out," Genma said.

"That's why it's so big," Kasumi said. Ukyo pointed at the middle of the walls.

"Look, see that? That must be where the floor of the room above us broke off, and we're standing where the ceiling…Sailor Moon's and Mamoru's floor…fell."

They walked through the room and up more stairs, reaching another room that had been covered in ice at one point.

-

"Luna…"

"I know…"

"Sailor Moon…"

"I know…"

"Same outfit, similar hairstyle…does this mean that I am…?"

"Related to her?" Usagi nodded. "I don't know. You could be…who knows? She disappeared right before the Queen Our Savior took over the Solar System. No one knows what happened to her. This…all looks so familiar to me, but I just can't place it…Usagi, I think…I think you might be the princess."

"WHAT?!"

"I think that Sailor Moon was Princess Serenity. Then, when she married Mamoru, she became the queen. And you are her daughter."

"Are you sure about this?"

"No, but there's only one way to find out. Try to summon the imperial silver crystal."

"How do I do that?"

"Just think about it."

Usagi closed her eyes and thought really hard, but nothing happened.

"It's not working," she said.

"Maybe you're not the princess, then…"

Usagi and Luna were on the very top of the Starlight Tower, looking out at Tokyo. The top of the tower had been outside, so there was a ceiling added in the Crystal Millennium for preservation, though there were no walls so air was able to blow through it, giving tourists the feel of what the battle would have been like all those years ago.

Usagi closed her eyes as she tried to imagine the Sailor Moon of the past in her position right now, and transformed, startling Luna.

"Usagi! What are you doing?! Someone could see you!"

"I just felt like…I had to. Besides, there are buildings I could jump onto if someone came through the door."

"Do you know how much that would hurt an untrained body? You don't know how to roof jump yet."

"Oh Luna, you worry too much." She closed her eyes and let the wind gently blow her hair – when the door opened. Her eyes shot open and saw one of the people from the group she passed earlier, and she gasped at the same time he did. They both just stood there, staring at each other, until Ranma broke the silence.

"Sailor Moon…"

"I…I can't be seen," she whispered, but he seemed to hear her. They both heard a noise coming from the stairwell that lead to the open roof door, and Ranma quickly turned around, blocking the entrance.

"Akane! I thought you all were further behind me…"

"No! Why do you keep running ahead? We're supposed to stay together. Whatever, let me through."

"I…I'd rather wait for everyone this time. It's really spectacular."

"Usagi, he's letting you go! Escape, now!" Luna whispered.

"I can't, Luna! I have to de-transform!"

"No way! He'll see you!"

"Well how else will I get away? It's my only option. You yourself just said that I can't jump to the roof over there. It's too far down."

"Okay, we're all here, now. Let us see, Ranma," Akane said, annoyed. Ranma let his arms drop and stepped aside, praying that Sailor Moon had escaped. Instead, what he saw was the pink haired girl with the large bag from earlier, and he put two and two together, even though the two girls looked nothing alike. All of the sudden, though, he was able to recognize her because the magic had worn off for him since he knew she was Sailor Moon.

"Hey, it's that girl from before," Ukyo said.

"What is this place?" Akane asked no one in particular.

Nabiki went over to read a large sign on the wall.

"This is where the final battle between Zoisite, Kunzite, Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, and the rest of the senshi took place," she said in summary. "The scouts' first enemy, but only the generals. Not Queen Beryl."

"I wonder if the Sailor Moon of our time has seen this tower already, and read all of the signs of her past…if she's even related to anyone from then," Kasumi wondered. Usagi and Ranma shared a glance, then went back to reading separate signs.

"I'm sure she has," he said.

"How do you know?" Akane asked, as always, questioning him.

"Gut feeling. And she must have a civilian form, or how would she go to school? She must have come here already, especially after learning about it in class."

"You make a good point, boy," said Genma. Suddenly, the door opened and a girl with long sandy-honey colored hair burst through it, straight to Usagi.

"Usa-chan! There you are! I've been on every floor, reading every sign and looking for you. I didn't think you'd go through this place so fast!"

"Mie, I didn't. You were late!"

"Oh, heh, well, sorry. I got caught up in…family things."

"It's fine. Read the signs up here, and then we'll go to the arcade."

"K."

"Hey, Nabiki, isn't that Mie Tokugawa?" Akane asked, whispering in her sister's ear. Nabiki nodded.

"Who is that?" Kasumi asked.

"She's one of the richest girls in Japan," answered Nabiki.

"I wonder if she feels badly about it," Kasumi said, making the others give her stares of curiosity. "Well, I'm sure there are people who dislike her for her money, and want it for themselves. That must be hard for her, especially in school. She seems like a nice girl."

Akane, Nabiki, and Ukyo, who had been listening in, shook their heads at Kasumi's niceness and sincerity, and split up to read the other signs. They all had been lost in their worlds, imagining the scenes as they were played out, when Mie broke the silence.

"Usagi, I'm ready. Let's go." She nodded, and followed Mie through the door, sharing another glance with Ranma. She mouthed a 'Thank you,' and disappeared as the door closed.

"Wow, I didn't think Mie Tokugawa would visit such a touristy area," Soun said, surprised.

"She was with her friend," Kasumi said. "They looked like they were having fun. Besides, why wouldn't she visit this place? Just because she has money doesn't mean she would only visit classy places."

They were surprised to hear Kasumi give a strong opinion, especially about something like this, but quickly dismissed it and finished their rounds on the roof, finally making it downstairs and out the door, where they heard an intense commotion.

"RUN! It's a MONSTER!" A woman yelled, running down the street with screaming people behind her.

Suddenly, the group saw a black monster with the shape of a woman round the corner, searching for something. Three figures followed it, but it was hard to see them in the intense sunlight.

"Cobalta! She's right there! Aiya Ourano!" shouted the apparent leader of the three, who had silver hair that if looked at when the sunlight hit it just right, was silvery blue. All three of them were hovering in the air on what looked like an enchanted motorcycle, though it was really one of Andalusite's inventions.

When the girl in question's name was said, she turned around in utter fear. She was a college student at Juuban Community College, and was walking back to her house from a Saturday class when the monster struck, forcing her to run with everyone else, though not knowing it was after her.

"Cobalta balta! I have you now, pretty thing!" The ugly monster's red eyes glowed, and literally froze the girl in place with telekinesis.

"Do it, Cobalta!" Kyanite said. "Take her soul stone and give it to me! And Andi, see if she has a rainbow crystal."

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!"

Sorry to end it there. I hope you enjoyed it! More will come soon, I promise.
