Chapter Two

Silence filled the room at Sailor Moons shout of obscenity. Storm cast eyes looked at her in mild shock and red eyes stared at her with pent up frustration.

"Sailor Moon we can talk about costumes later you need to dust that monster before it leaves with the collected energy!" Luna barked at Serena. Turning to the cat Serena gawked with shock.

"How do I do that when I'm in in in," she looked down at herself then back to the cat.

"Grab your tiara take it off, aim it at the monster and say 'Moon Tiara Magic'," was Lunas response. Following her instructions she did just that standing up in the rafters with her mystery savior.

Meanwhile the negaforce monster was giving orders to the zombified people on the ground to get the two superheros down. Suddenly "Moon Tiara Magic" was heard, looking up the monster saw a concentrated amount of energy coming directly at her killing her as it struck. All affected humans were dropped from her spell and knocked into a deep sleep until they awoke the next morning not remembering how they got there. All while thinking they dreamt of chasing a girl dressed in a sailor uniform.

Jumping down to the ground Sailor Moon, Luna, and the mystery savior were seen. Sailor Moon was arguing with Luna while the man was observing her. His dark eyes picking up on the details of her outfit as she screamed at the cat. Noticing she stood with a sense of authority though was small in stature compared to him. She would come up to his chest if they stood in front of the other he thought.

Her hair came down like golden thread bouncing with her every moment. Her eyes were clear blue filled like the sky with hints of anger. Something he disliked, as much as her cursing.

Though he was angry beyond belief she should not be in that outfit or near that pesky little cat. Gold infiltrated his eyes, annoyed at the fact that this woman who he loved would be in dangers way till who knew how long. He knew that he couldn't yell at the cat here since it was too public he would have to lecture the cat later right now they needed to leave before anyone awoke. Coming out of his deep thought he found that they were staring at him awkwardly.

"See he isn't even paying attention!" Luna said looking back at Sailor Moon.

"So, maybe you were just boring, I mean I don't think I would even pay attention to your ramblings!" Serena shouted back. She was more childish in this life than her last.

"They are not ramblings they are very important facts, you don't even know if he can be trusted!"

"He fucking saved me! He has armor and a sword I think I would trust a stranger who saved me and had those things to do so!" was the argument that Luna received for the ninth time that night.

"I don't trust him," Luna firmly said. "You just met the man."

"I just met you too!"

"Ladies, we should have this conversation elsewhere unless you would like the whole city to know about this," came a deep baritone voice beside the girls. Turning to look at the man they both noted that yes indeed they were in the store still, and yes they both noticed cameras in the corners of the store, and thirdy yes they noticed the people on the floor. Agreeing with the unknown man they all left the store to be seen standing on top of a building a couple blocks down.

"Now who are you and who do you work for?" Luna questioned glaring at the young man standing next to the Moon scout.

"You don't need to know who I am, and I work for myself," he said.

"But like what do you call yourself, like I'm Sailor Moon," Serena asked looking up towards the man.

"I have no use for codenames if you want my real name just ask and I shall tell," he responded to Serena.

"Then tell us your name and who you are in alliance with,"Luna spoke up.

"You have no use for my name cat, just like how you had no right to make her a scout!" he raised his voice.

"I had no right? She was and is a scout and she needed to be awakened to fight the evil that has arisen!" argued Luna.

"NO! There are other people who serve the crown that can fight this evil!" yelling at the cat now seething in anger. Storm clouds were forming in the skies above threatening to pour.

"So you serve the crown? Which one?" Luna asked not caring about anything else that he had said.

"I serve my own crown and the alliance which comes with it beast. Who ever let you out of your cage was a fool," he snarled eyes sparking gold.

"What is your crown and name? And how do you know so much?" Luna was becoming suspicious. She only wanted her questions answered, though she was offended by his snarky comments she did have a mission to complete.

"You want to know my name," with a raised eyebrow he continued, "My name is King Endymion and I serve the crown of Earth and the silver alliance with it."

Now he had become smug at the looks he was given by the cat. It amused him how a royal advisor of the moon could not recognize a ruler of planet. He looked at the blonde girl dressed in sailor senshi garb, she was confused.

"Wait, everyone hold on a second," Serena gulped. "So you're the king of this planet who knows Luna and I wasn't supposed to be this?" she looked at the man in question.

"Yes you are correct on all comments. I would hope that you don't continue this setup that you have, if I can spare a few men to fix this problem and fighting these monsters I will. However if you do continue with this escaped," he paused and a more serious look came upon him, "I will have to make sure nothing harmful comes your way. You will not go into a battle without me."

Before Serena could speak up Luna interrupted, "You can't control her she is not under your jurisdiction!"

"Really? She is not on my planet without my permission? I'm sorry is this her planet that she hails from? I hadn't noticed that we left the planet Earth," he said sarcastically, bitterness was found as well.

"You will attract unwanted attention by going by your name," Luna was trying to find a way where this man would never come near her charge.

"Then I will go by Endi, is that alright with you cat?" he really wasn't asking the cat for permission he was looking directly at Sailor Moon the whole time.

"Come on Luna he can't be that bad, plus we are on his planet and he is a king so anything he says goes."

Endymion responded looking directly at Sailor Moon. "I can be trusted with keeping her safe cat."

"I am not just a cat! I am a mau advisor to Queen Serenity of the Moon tasked with finding and awakening the sailor senshi," trying to salvage her pride Luna puffed out her chest as well. Endymion gave her a quick glare before going back to staring at Sailor Moon.

"Oh I forgot to thank you for saving me," Serena said also staring intensely at Endymion.

"It was not a problem," he said, "you should head home it's getting later than earlier." He looked like he wanted to say more but he just turned to stride over to the ledge of the building. Giving Sailor Moon one last glance he jumped off to the next roof, soon leaving their vision.

"He's so dreamy," Serena said in a soft dream like voice.

"He could be an enemy! I never knew a King Endymion back then!"

"Ugh your right, why is it always the hot guys that end up being evil?"

"What are you talking about?" Luna asked as they were leaving the roof to go back to her house.

"Oh it's just a thing, or do you think he's gay?" Serena responded tilting her head.

"Thing? Gay? Sailor Moon we are not discussing that man!" Luna yelled after the girl as she was running at a faster pace than Luna.

As they arrived at Serena's house she had an epiphany. "Luna you will have to leave in the morning before my mom finds you."

"I can't leave you, you are the leader of the scouts and my charge!"

"Well my mom will ask about you, and I don't know if I want you in my house," Serena responded. "You don't even know my name do you?"

"It's Serena I heard people call you that, and I can't leave you!"

"Let's make a deal then, you can stay at my house until another scout who can have pets arrives. Is that alright then?"

"Yes I guess that would be alright then," Luna said crawling into the window after Serena did. Jumping onto the bed as Serena got underneath her covers.

"Then that's how it will go then," came Serena's firm response. With that they both fell asleep.

(Scene Change-Next day)

The sun shone bright as it started to rise in the sky, fluttering light beams shone through the cracks of the blinds. Birds chirping and pollinators getting down to business. Loud screams from a two story house ruined this peacefulness.

"I'M GOING TO BE LATE," Serena screeched as she rushed to get her uniform on and everything in her bag. Hopping across the room putting her socks on she grabbed her phone off her nightstand and rushed out her bedroom door. Making it to the top of the stairs she tripped over a toy car and came crashing down. Mother and brother already out of the house she had no one to ask if she was alright. Gracefully going down the railings Luna came up to her mistress with a humorous look on her smug little face.

"If you don't leave now Serena you'll be even more late," Luna remarked as Serena was still in a heap on the ground moaning in pain.

"Go to hell you devil," came the muttered response from the girl on the ground. "You didn't have to wake me up like that."

"Well you didn't get up for your mother, and wouldn't get up for me asking nicely. Pouncing on you with my claws seemed like the next best option that I could take," getting up Luna went to grab Serena's shoes for her.

Now sitting up to reach for the shoes offered to her she went to grab her lunch. Coming back to the entrance of the house she picked up her school bag and lifted Luna onto her shoulder as she went out of the house. Locking the door as an after thought she quickly walked to school nearly missing the late bell.

Luna was outside the window watching her every move as she went about her day. Serena would often sneak glances out the window to see Luna perched in a tree nearby watching with a hawk like stare. Thus making our young girl feel self conscious and nervous. During lunch period Serena was out of it, looking around to see where Luna was now making careful of what she talked about with her friends. This went on for the rest of her school day.

The final bell rang students rushing out of the classrooms and out the gate. Clusters of students talking with each other blocked her from getting a straight way out of the school grounds. Finally she made it out and said a quick farewell to her friends Serena went the opposite direction of them and turned a corner. Spotting Luna she quickly followed the cat to where she was leading her. After a couple of blocks she finally came to the entrance of a park. Wandering around aimlessly she finally found the little devil laying on a park bench soaking in the sun.

"So what's the big deal with you watching me at school?" Serena asked as she slowly sat down next to the cat. The park around them seeming empty.

"Well I had to see where you stood knowledge wise so I knew what I had to teach you," Luna responded quickly adding, "It seems you are doing fine educational wise. That is good since you will need this intellect to help you defeating our enemy."

"Why thank you oh mighty leader. So are you going to actually teach me something that might help me live?" Serena doubtfully looked at the cat.

"Well yes. Did you think that I wouldn't teach you to fight to be a proper Sailor Senshi?" Luna asked looking up at the girl.

"Yes," was the response the cat received. Thinking to herself Serena thought that Lunas answers and comments made no sense but she didn't linger on that thought all to much.

"Well you were wrong, I am going to teach you the basic tactics, fighting styles, and history of the senshi so that you won't embarrass your ancestors," Luna lectured her. A stern expression on her face.

"How? Your a cat. In case you didn't know what animal that is, it's an animal with no thumbs and can't exactly stand and teach a human to fight," Serena said skeptically.

"I am an ancient alien cat from the silver millenium that has technology far more advanced than this day and age, you want to tell me that I don't have a way of teaching you how to fight?"

"Well I didn't know that geez no need to get snappy," scooting a couple of inches away from the vexed cat. "When do we get started?"

"Well hopefully tonight!" Luna exclaimed. A loud groan from the newly minted warrior came next. "Let's go Serena." "augghhhh," another moan came from her as she picked up the stupid mangley little cat. Thinking about it now Serena despised the cat for turning her world upside down.

An hour later they reached their destination. Opening the door to her house and creeping inside, Serena saw her brother on his video game again. Climbing up the stairs unnoticed she made it up to her room. Putting her stuff down on her desk with the cat on the bed, she sat at her desk chair across from her bed.

"So how are we going to do this?" asked Serena creating a shift in the quiet atmosphere.

"I think we should begin with the brief history to as how the senshi became," with a nod from Serena she continued. "Well a long time ago, the date forgotten, the solar system was in peace but was under threat from civilizations outside of it. So the planets decided to create an alliance with each other, the Moon being the head of the alliance."

"Wait question, why wasn't the Earth the head of the alliance? You know being the planet that the moon orbits? Or the sun being it is the center of our universe?" Serena interrupted Luna.

"Well they didn't have the silver crystal like the moon did. Now let me continue the story before you ask why not,"

"With the Moon Queen and her silver crystal she protected the solar system. The silver crystal being a weapon from the gods with unlimited powers. Though it was hard for her alone they all agreed to create warriors to maintain the peace. So from each planet they sent thirteen people to be sent and trained all becoming warriors in the name of their planet. Each group all had a head warrior titled after their planet, those girls became the guardians of the Moon Princess who would take over the alliance with her guardians becoming the new people in her court."

"Wait, question. We aren't supposed to find all those people right? Cause that's a lot of people to find," Serena interrupted again.

"No of course not you just have to find the head warriors and then they can claim a new group of warriors in the name of their planet. Now can I continue the story?" Luna answered.

"Yes get on with it so we can be done with it," scooting closer to Luna she gave an expectant nod.

"Ugh. Anyway these warriors were trained to beat the best of the best and protect this solar system. Some other planets outside the alliance adopted this idea having their own group of senshi. But everything came to ruin when the people of Earth, who were to uncivilised and unadvanced to join the alliance awakened a great evil upon the solar syst-,"

"Waait. Just because they were uncivilised they couldn't join the alliance? And you mean to tell me the planet we are currently on unleased a great evil upon the solar system destroying the alliance yet still had their planet unaffected by it because they were uncivilised and unadvanced? That doesn't seem right to me!" standing up now in a fit of unknown anger Serena yelled at the cat.

"Well not because of them being unadvanced, they were that when the alliance was created. They were unreasonable and barbarians. They did it because they were evil and wanted the silver crystal the most powerful weapon in our solar system," Luna said trying to placate the angry girl.

Serena felt very confused with what Luna just said. She didn't think that what she was saying was right, but how would she know. Everything involving this situation felt wrong to her somehow. Why would a beautiful planet create such destruction? Why would she think that the silver crystal was never really intended to be a "powerful weapon"? It just didn't make sense, so instead of asking Serena thought to just keep these questions to herself until she could actually look into this stuff. Not like that would be easy it's like a fantasy novel. 'Ugh' mentally groaning, when would anything for her be easy?

"Fine whatever just continue with the history lesson or whatever you wanna call it."

"Alright. The last battle was on the Moon, most of the people dead but the warriors were still in the fight giving hope to survivors of the annihilation. Unfortunately the people of the silver alliance underestimated the power the people of Earth had. They slaughtered all the warriors and the guards to the Princess, who was rushing to her mother in the prayer room. Don't question till I'm done," with that said Serena shrunk down from asking what the prayer room was. "The Moon Princess was captured and killed by the Prince of Earth who was in allegiance with Queen Beryl who started the whole battle. In grief of her daughter being murdered the Moon Queen used the silver crystal to seal the evil away and send her daughter and her court to the future to be reincarnated,"

"That is why I don't recognize any King of Earth, his name matches up with the old prince but he was never crowned king in my memories," Luna finished.

Looking into Serena's clear blue eyes she asked,"Do you have any questions?"

"Yes, in fact I do. What's a prayer room for if you have an all powerful crystal of destruction? Who is this Prince of Earth what would cause him to think he was king? And is this Queen Beryl his mother or is she the new queen? What happened to the other planets? Why did the Moon Queen not use this crystal to stop the destruction? And if this destruction you speak of, why was Earth spared?" Serena rushed her questions one after another.

All these questions were being processed in her mind all at the same time, none of this made sense to her. Why would it though nothing ever made literal sense to her in the common way of thinking. Looking at Luna closer she felt as if something was off. But what?

"That's a lot of questions you have that I can hopefully answer for you," Luna stated.

"You mean to tell me that you won't answer my questions or you can't?" with narrowed eyes Serena calmly asked.

"I seem to have a bit of amnesia, but before you question if everything I told you was true it was. It's just the people, names, and certain events leading up to the demise of the alliance that I seem to have forgotten!" Luna rushed in finishing her sentence before Serena could interject her question on if the cat could be trusted.

"Why didn't you tell me before we began? I mean he could have been the King of Earth it's just you don't remember. Or Earth could have been part of the alliance! " Serena growled.

"Well, I didn't think that it was important because I remember what I was supposed to say for when the senshi awakened!" Luna bit back.

"Alright, fine. For now I'll believe you. But mark my words cat if you remember something important that could very well change everything more and not tell me, there is no place on this planet or solar system you can hide from me," Serena slowly threatened Luna with as much seriousness and deadliness as like the Earth rotating around the Sun. Slowly nodding her head Luna conceded with the threat not knowing if it would be carried out or not but not willing to take the chance.

"How about I answer your questions? Umm the first one uh, the prayer room to be honest I was never allowed in it I just know that's where the Queen was most of her free time with the silver crystal. The Prince of Earth and Queen Beryl I don't remember them that much, I just know they caused the downfall of the Moon Kingdom and Alliance. The other planets as of I know right now can not sustain life, they are for other terms dead. I don't know why the silver crystal was not used though," Luna looked thoughtful for a moment before continuing,"Must have been because we were all caught off guard and there was no more time. Do you have anymore questions?"

"Yes one, then I think we can be done with this and move on,"Serena said. "How many people am I looking for exactly?"

"Well from the knowledge I have four," Luna answered. Jumping off the bed she wandered towards the window. "You should enroll in a self-defense class as well when we begin your training just in case anyone questions your strength," she said looking back at Serena in the eyes.

"Okay, I'll ask my mom when she comes home from work and we can hopefully find one nearby," she agreed. Mentally sighing from all the work she would have to do on top of her normal workload. "When do we start training?" she sighed out.

"We start now! I want you to run around your block five times then go into your backyard," ordered Luna.

Looking at her clock it read five o'clock. Two more hours then her mom would be home to save her from this demons torture. Getting up she went to change into something more practical to exercise in. Finishing up she grabbed earbuds and her phone and went to run for a while. 'That cat is going to get it one of these days' she thought wickedly already planning her demise.

An hour and thirty minutes passed when she finally finished with the running. She was then told to do multiple different exercises which lasted a little longer than thirty minutes. She didn't even get to any fighting moves when her mom came home with food. She was tired and wanted to pass out onto her bed and sleep for a very long time. But she had to keep up a facade, during dinner she asked about the self-defense thing for fun convincing her mom to look into it and sign her up for one.

Later on during the night she got a nice pounce to her stomach as she was falling asleep by a little demon made of fur. She was told it was the negaforce, which she asked who they were and was told they were the ones who destroyed the Silver Alliance last time prompting her to stop them even more. After transforming she frowned.

"Don't you think I can get a different outfit or something?" she asked Luna as they jumped from building to building to get the attack zone.

"No that is the uniform of the senshi," Luna firmly denied any other questions about a wardrobe change.

Stifling a yawn Serena asked, "But what if a senshi was a man?" Luna frowned at that question.

"We can talk about this later, in the meantime you need to defeat the youma so you can go to bed and get to school on time," Luna stated with finality in her voice making no room for arguments.

"Fine, but we better talk about this later," with that Serena who was now Sailor Moon jumped into battle having some help from our very handsome man in armor. Sailor Moon complaining about how he actually has armor and a weapon as she fought. Annoying Luna and amusing said man in armor in the process.

The night came to a close as the youma was defeated, Luna telling Sailor Moon to stay away from the man when he finally left after staring at her and them going to sleep in her comfy bed.

This routine progressed over the next couple of weeks. Luna would train Serena on how to be a "proper" senshi after school and her self-defense classes she started three days after the conversation with her mom. Hard convincing won her mom over. They would then fight a youma almost everyday, sometimes twice a day always with the help from the armor clad man to defeat them.

Serena would have to work double time on her homework to make sure she had passing grades like she had before all the senshi business started. She also had to make sure she never fell asleep in class and only in her spare time. During these weeks Serena was busy very busy, trying to make sure her family and friends thought there was nothing wrong with her mentally even though she was put under tremendous stress.

The thought of failing everyone kept her determined to keep sane and follow instructions from Luna. Serena basically had no social life, what with training, school, and fighting the negaverse. Even though she was getting help from Endymion, she felt that she had the weight of the world on her shoulders. She felt put out and stressed every time the spawn of satan would lecture her about everything she was doing wrong. 'Why?' she thought 'why do I have to do all this bullshit?' At least she wouldn't have to do it alone anymore and she would have a full team.

To keep herself sane enough to make sure the world thought she was okay Serena would list the things she had to do in her brain and make a schedule for herself, thus making her clumsy and missing conversations. She was now labeled a clutz and most of the times dumb by her peers because of said behavior. Serena felt that the world was against her, I mean why would she not.

She had a stupid cat who said it was her destiny to protect this Moon Princess, find a damn crystal, and defeat the dark kingdom all at the prime age of 16. Yay! Even her own brain was sarcastic and bitter when ever she thought about it. Waking up late most days made her run like hell to school so she wouldn't get detention.

Bitterly she thought that when this was all over she would either be dead or mentally insane. She barely passed her math test the other day, earning her questions from her teacher on if her home life was okay and a lecture from Luna that she should keep her grades up.

Some days to school during these weeks she would bump into, crashed, she crashed to be honest here into Darien Shields who would then tease her on her hair and how she was going to be late. He always would look at her with a faraway look in his eyes as she ran to school. Hair billowing after her as she dashed to make it on time.


Thinking about it now they barely saw each other, not that he knew her on a personal level or anything. He was tired now a days, not that he had important things to do except some classes in the afternoon and helping the girl fight youma at random intervals. He also had things to manage and people to order around. He was short staffed, which made his life and everybody elses like hell because of it.

Sighing he looked up at the sky, today was terrible. Not only had he not run into Serena but he also had an all nighter working on projects of his and he was tired. Very tired. Groaning mentally he realised he had to make some important calls today. Everything that was not fun was planned to be done today. Walking towards the arcade in his annoyed and pissed off mood his phone decided to ring, taking it out of his pocket he answered bitterly.

"Uh hey yea, I was told to call you. Yea there's a problem and we need you to come in. Like now!" the voice on the phone practically shouted as yelling could be heard in the background.

With another groan he responded with a quick and angry, "I'm on my way." He hung the phone up after that.

The man that was on the other end gulped, he knew he shouldn't have called that number he was told to. He was going to be a dead man soon with that angry king coming his way.


Darien opened the door to the arcade to find it empty of its patrons. Striding to the back of the arcade and into the kitchens he took a left at the hallway towards the bathrooms. Making a stop in front of a broom closet he entered and turned the light on. Looking to his right he pulled down on the mop that was in a bucket.

With that action done mechanical noises could be heard from inside the closet space. A tall shelf with cleaning supplies moved back and a secret staircase leading down was revealed. Swiftly walking down the stairs, they stopped after a few feet and lead into a hallway with a door at the end of it. Fluorescent lights hung from the ceiling gave the hallway an eerie feeling. Reaching the door Darien opened it and briskly walked inside.

The inside was a huge room. The ceiling reached to about ten feet below the arcade the space lengthed about a whole street block. Metal stairs lead down to a the base floor and stairs that lead up to an open space with what looked like a main control desk on the left wall and scattered tables around it.

Lights hung from the top of the room and on the walls, illuminating the area. People of different heights, sizes, and ethnic backgrounds rushed around the place. Some men and women holding papers or on the phone, while some walked in groups of two talking. Most of the people in the room clustered at the main control stations. All of them wearing a standard uniform much like a military one but much slimmer in size.

The uniforms people wore differed in color, some a pastel green, soft blue, burgundy, a teal and dark green uniform could be seen together. Some of them had badges on and different markings on the left shoulder. There only seemed to be about thirty to forty people in the entire space, but that was made up in productivity.

People moved out of the way while Darien made his way up the stairs and towards the main control desk. Looking up most people dodged his gaze and started to inch their way away from the control desk in fear of the destruction that was about to occur. With most of the people making their way downstairs or out of the underground building, only eleven people were left standing oblivious to the new threat.

"You said there was a problem?" the calm voice of Darien shocked the people who hadn't looked up or were staring at the screen in front of the large crescent desk.

"EEEP!" came from the powdered blue uniformed workers.

"Uh yes sir, there is a small problem," a light orange uniformed man with seven badges responded.

"Why was I called if it was a small problem?" Darien further inquired anger rising in his calm voice.

"Umm, because I was told to. Sir," the same man spoke in response.

"And why may I ask were you told so?" his cold voice echoed in the building.

"Orders from the top sir," the man was truly scared for his life if he answered wrong.

"Get me Motoki," ordered Darien. Everyone still not moving, "NOW!" With that the people in the room scrambled to find Motoki as the furious man ordered.
