Chapter 13: Usagi's Awakening! A Message from the Distant Past

"We've finally found it." Sailor Venus reported back to the other Senshi, having found the entrance of the Dark Kingdom with Anubis.

"Good work, Sailor Venus." Sailor Mars nodded.

"Here we go." Luna leapt into the portal, with Artemis in tow.. "Is it..." the two felines stopped before an opening.

"Let's take a look." Artemis suggested and the two cats jumped in.

"Energy? "Sailor Venus winced, as a flood of evil energy washed over them.

"I'll love to welcome you ladies to the Dark Kingdom, but preparations to receive you are not ready yet." Danburite materialized before them. "So, I will take you somewhere more fun." he grinned.

"Don't mess around!" Sailor Jupiter snapped. "Supreme Thunder!"

"Sailor Moon!" Danburite glared at the Moon Senshi. "This is all your fault, Princess! If you hadn't met and fell in love with that accursed Terran Prince, Venus would have been mine! But if you quietly hand over the Ginzuishou, I will let you live."

"Not a chance!" Sailor Moon retorted.

"What imprudence!" Danburite snapped. "I will send you to the chaotic world of multiple dimensions!" he scattered the Senshi with a ripple of energy. "The Ginzuishou will be mine!" he reached out to grab the Moon Stick.

"Hyperspace Area Formation!" Sailor Mercury managed to cast her spell at the last second, the Ginzuishou started shining as it teleported the Senshi away.

"Where is this place?" Luna exclaimed, the two felines exiting from the cave.

"Out of all places..." Anubis muttered. "It just had to be the North Pole, didn't it?"

"Metallia's ran out of places to hide." Tuxedo Kamen agreed, the two Terra warriors shielding the cats from the harsh icy winds.

"Where are we?" Sailor Moon stood up, looking around at the ruins of the Moon Kingdom.

"These are the ruins of the Silver Millennium." a voice replied. "The land of the Gods that once attained the pinnacle of glory."

"Silver Millennium?" Sailor Moon turned to see a glowing orb of light land on a stone pedestal. "Who are...?" she gaped as Queen Selenity manifested.

"I am here to bring you a message from the distant past." the late Moon Queen explained. "I am the incarnation of the Moon Goddess, Selene. I am the Queen of the Silver Millennium, Queen Selenity. I am your mother."

"What?" Sailor Moon breathed. "You are my mother? What do you mean by that?"

"I revived Luna and Artemis from their cold sleep, had them make contact with you, and watched over all of you." Queen Selenity informed the awakened Senshi. "We are long-living life forms born on the moon. Our mission is to protect the sacred will passed down to us on the Moon, the legendary Ginzuishou and to watch over and aid the progress of Earth's evolution. Remember this, Serenity, of the time you were living as the Princess of the Moon. Serenity, you adored the green trees and wind of the beautiful blue Earth, and often gazed up at it. Then, you found love."

Flashback

"Princess Serenity." Endymion called from the gardens.

"Prince Endymion." Serenity looked down.

"Please pardon me for being late for the ball." the Terra Prince apologized.

"I have been waiting for you." Serenity remarked.

"Something terrible has happened." Endymion stated. "Most of us on Earth have been brainwashed by Beryl. Beryl has been possessed by an evil energy called Metallia. And now, she is taking advantage of the humans' yearning for the longevity of your people, and getting ready to attack the Moon. Jadeite has already fallen to her darkness and the rest of the Shitennou..." he hissed, clutching his hand. "I was too late... they were killed by Beryl's versions of themselves. At the ball..." he shouted, when his presence was alerted by the guards and fled.

"Princess." Endymion, dressed as Tuxedo Kamen, held onto the descending Moon Princess' hand. "May I?"

"Endymion-sama." Serenity beamed, the news of the Shitennou's demise was pushed to the back of her mind at the sight of her lover; who cares about the Senshi, as long as Endymion is with her, all is well.

"There is no doubt that a bitter war is about to break out between your people and us Earth people." Endymion pulled her close. "I will be your future enemy." he added, dancing with Serenity. "So it would be bad for my identity to be known now. So please, forgive my appearance. Metallia is not a human being. It is a mass of evil energy. Beryl is a witch. By using the power of Metallia, she is trying to conquer the Moon and Earth."

"If we do nothing, the Moon will be destroyed." Endymion remarked, the couple taking a short reprise. "We must not waste a moment in obliterating Metallia, which possesses an enormous amount of evil energy and crushing Beryl's ambitions. I would like your help in this, Serenity. Will you believe what I just told you?"

"Yes." Serenity nodded. "Endymion-sama." she teared as the Earth Prince drew her close for a kiss.

"Aqua Cutter!" Sailor Mercury released her water blades at the towering Metallia

"Burning Soul!" Sailor Mars let her flames loose.

"Thunderbolt!" Sailor Jupiter sent her lightning at the mass of evil energy.

"Crescent Storm!" Sailor Venus unleashed her light beams at Metallia.

Metallia simply absorbed the attacks and took out all four Senshi with an energy tornado.

"Starting today, I will rule both Earth and the Moon!" Beryl laughed as she watched her army charge into the demolished palace. "I will not allow anyone to defy me! Our beloved Metallia-sama, this is the birth of our Dark Kingdom!" she unleashed her power, summoning forth her Dark Shitennou. "So, you are Princess Serenity?" she materialized before the stunned Princess. "I will destroy that pretty face of yours!" her clawed hand was reached out to mar her love rival.

"Beryl!" Endymion glared, his rose stopping Beryl. "I will not forgive you if you lay even a single finger on the Princess!"

"Endymion!" Beryl gaped. "Why do you protect the Princess of the Moon? You are the Prince of Earth. If you would simply marry me, you could be the King of both the Moon and Earth."

"Beryl, you are being misguided by Metallia which possesses evil energy." Endymion warned. "Wake up! Rid yourself of the evil mind."

"Shut up!" Beryl snapped. "I'll kill you as well!"

"Endymion-sama!" Serenity ran towards Endymion who was being blown off by Metallia's hurricane and leapt off the balcony.

Metallia let loose another energy blast that separated the lovers.

"Serenity!" Queen Selenity cried, seeing her dead daughter and future son-in-law float in mid-air after Metallia's assault.

"She's dead!" Beryl laughed. "The Moon Princess is dead!"

"Serenity..." Queen Selenity sank to her knees. "This is all my fault... I've pampered you too much and have let you get away with too many wrongdoings... all of this... won't have happened if I hadn't let others take the rap for your mistakes."

"Queen Selenity, if you use the Ginzuishou, your life..." Luna protested, seeing the Queen attached the Ginzuishou to the Moon Stick.

"My life is nothing compared to peace on both the Moon and Earth." Queen Selenity was insistent. "Moon Healing Escalation!" she unleashed the Ginzuishou's power. "Luna, Artemis." she spoke, lying on a fallen pillar. "The Ginzuishou can be used for peace if it is used with the energy of a good heart." she looked at the crystal in her palm. "But, if it used with the energy of an evil heart, it will become a terrible weapon. I have been able to seal Metallia away with the Ginzuishou. But there is no knowing when it might be revived again. Also, this Moon Stick can only be used by a descendant of this Kingdom. If Metallia should return to life again in the future, give this to Princess Serenity and protect this peaceful world. Princess Serenity and all our Sailor Senshi, may your love be fulfilled in the future on Earth." opening her palm, she let the Ginzuishou float into the air and transported the souls of those who died in the battle to Earth. "In the future of Earth, please live happy lives." she whispered and drew her last breath. The Moon Stick fell from her hands and burst into light, encasing both Mau cats into time capsules.

"Anubis..." Tuxedo Kamen looked at the leader of his Shitennou, the small group tracking through the snow.

"I sense it too, Mamoru-sama." Anubis nodded. "There!" he looked straight ahead.

"We found it!" Artemis gaped, peering down the hole.

"But it's too late!" Danburite appeared before them. "Sailor Moon!" he looked up from his sword duel with Anubis. "It can't be! I sent you to the chaotic world of multiple dimensions. What in Darkness..." he looked down to see Anubis' sword thrust into his torso from the back.

"You shouldn't let yourself get distracted." Anubis pulled out his blade. "You never were my match, Adonis; then and now."

"Aphrodite-sama..." Danburite reached out a hand to Sailor Venus as he crumbled to dust. "I only wanted you..."

"Girls," Tuxedo Kamen stated. "We found the Dark Kingdom's hideout; at D-Point in the North Pole."

"If we don't hurry, the sunspot will expand." Anubis reminded.

"Then, we have no choice." Sailor Venus looked at her lover. "We have to launch a surprise attack."
