Silver Sailor Moon Series

Episode 10

Doors of Time Opened!

Usagi walked through the park alone. She got used to wandering the park by her self. She found a strange aura when she walked through the many winding paths and forks that lead to dead ends or back to the main path. Usually when she wandered, she was thinking of something. Either a dream she couldn't shake off, or her friends. She no longer had problems with school. She was a responsible, college student now.

This time, she thought about Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Pluto. Michiru was so beautiful. She occasionally got jealous of her looks and popularity. However, she also sometimes got jealous of Haruka's speed, and racing skills. Hotaru was the most powerful out of all the scouts. She once saved the world when Sailor Moon couldn't. Usagi hated to play favorites, but she thought out of all the outer senshi, that Pluto was the one that she envied to most. She admired her for her wise being. She always had the answers when Usagi did not.

Usagi knew that if it weren't for Pluto's kindness that befriended Chibi-Usa, 30th Century Crystal Tokyo wouldn't exist. Back when they first defeated Prince Diamond and the Doom Phantom, Chibi-Usa was hypnotized into think that she was unwanted by her family and friends. Sailor Pluto used Time Stop to stop time long enough to steal the Imperium Silver Crystals from Prince Diamond, but at a terrible price. Pluto had broken one of the taboos, and the punishment was death. As Pluto slowly began to die, Chibi-Usa realized who she was and that the only person she never doubted on loving her, Pluto, was going to die. With that, the spell was broken and the Doom Phantom was destroyed soon afterwards.

Usagi missed Pluto so much. She was the only Sailor Scout she hadn't seen yet since the sudden reunion of all at once. Usagi looked around- she was all alone in the quiet park. She pulled a key out of her book bag and held it into the air. "To Pluto!" She yelled and in a flash of pink light, she disappeared.

Usagi appeared somewhere she had been many times before. Fog and clouds were everywhere. She could barely see anything around her. She suddenly heard Pluto's voice, "Usagi?" The voice was faint and raspy.

"Pluto?" Usagi called out as she followed where the voice had come from until. As She came to the door of time, Usagi gasped at the sight of Sailor Pluto leaning against the door. Her body was haggard with deep wounds and hideous bruises. As Pluto looked at Usagi with a slight smile, she used the last of her energy before falling to the floor, "Usagi…"

Usagi ran to Pluto's side, holding her head, "Pluto! What happened here?"

Pluto lay on her stomach, her face turned toward Usagi. A large, circular mark on her head made Usagi cringe as she eyed the gouge. Pluto lay calmly, too weak to move anymore, "I'm so sorry… I couldn't stop him."

Usagi sat beside her, holding Pluto's hand for comfort. "What happened?" she asked again, determined to get revenge.

Pluto swallowed hard, her breathing was becoming faint. Through her final gasp, she forced, "The gates of time have been opened… Kyou, the demon, was unleashed…"

Usagi looked down at her, frantic, "Pluto! Pluto, hang on! Please!" As Pluto's eyes slide shut, her hand in Usagi's became limp. Usagi watched her a few moments, in shock. Pluto's… dead…?

Usagi slowly reached down into her bag for her communicator, yelling into it, "Luna, get the scouts! There's a problem with the Gates of Time… Pluto is-"

The unmistakable aura of pure evil enveloped Usagi as she sat there. Pausing in mid sentence, she ignored Luna's voice as it barked back at her, "Pluto? What's wrong with Pluto? Usagi…? Usagi…?"

Usagi stood, looking into the cloudy surroundings at the silhouette of a shadowy figure. Unable to see more than just the outline, Usagi finally called out, "Hello?"

There was a sudden burst of movement to Usagi's side, leaping out at her before she could react. Usagi's scream echoed through the communicator at Luna, followed by a heart-skipping growl.
