Chapter 24: The Past
The bright light began to fade and the 5 inner senshi noticed something good… they were boys again…
"All right!" they all cheered.
After some high fives and other things like taking out the hair ties in Ash and Naruto's cases… however their electric friends noticed something.
"Um… guys… why is everything different… and why do wee look like ghosts…" said Zatch.
That when they got a good look of things… they did looked like ghosts… they were also in a different room.
"He's right… we do look like ghosts…" said Luffy.
"How many times do we have to go though this!" yelled a voice.
All of them turned around and saw…
"That can't be!" said Ash.
It was a girl who looked like Ash when she stuck as a girl… except her hair was put into the same hairstyle he had as Neo Sailor Moon.
"It must be your past life…" said Kiyo, "I think we're the in the past… and the reason we're not solid is because we're invisible to those around us…"
"I get it…" said Naruto, "I think…"
Ash's past life was yelling as Neo Queen Serenity…
"How many times are you and dad going to dump these things on to me…" said Ash's past life.
"But Chibi-Usa…" whined Neo Queen Serenity.
"Honestly… I'm no ready to take the thrown… and I know that but… you're worst off then I am sometimes…" said Ash's past named Chibi-Usa, "But you pretend to be sick as social gatherings and I have to pick up the slack! That's the 6th time this year!"
"But sweetie!" said Neo Queen Serenity.
"Not this time…" said Chibi-Usa.
Chibi-Usa stormed out the room and Neo Queen Serenity began to cry.
The 5 reincarnated senshi sweatdroped… when they first heard about a queen they pictured something a little different.
"Wow… she's childish…" said Luffy.
"You're one to talk…" mumbled Kiyo.
"Usagi…" muttered a voice.
They saw two girls entered the room… one was that Sailor Mars in her past life the other… was another sailor senshi… and it wasn't one of the outers or inners… she had pink hair part of it was put up into a bun tied with a yellow ribbon while the rest was put into an odd fashion, her skirt, collar, gloves ends and choker were pink, her front bow was pewter while her back was a pale pink, her gloves were long and went a few inches past her elbow and her boots were white with pink lining on top.
"Who's she?" asked Naruto.
"I don't know…" said Ash.
"Could there be even more Sailor Senshi than we think?" asked Kiyo.
"Chibi-Usa yelled at you again?" asked the Mysterious senshi.
"Yeah…" said Neo Queen Serenity.
"Well if you and Endymon didn't stick her with some of your duties then she wouldn't have to yell at you…" said Past Sailor Mars.
"you're always like that you always take her side…" said Neo Queen Serenity.
"Well fo course I do… your so immature sometimes…" said Past Sailor Mars.
Neo Queen Serenity stuck her tongue out as Past Sailor Mars.
"You knew I grew out of that a long time ago… maybe you should too…" said Past Sailor Mars.
The reincarnated senshi began to stare at Luffy.
"That… was… me…" said Luffy surprised.
"Apparently…" said Naruto.
"Now, now… calm down you two…" said the mysterious senshi who then sighed, "Why am I the one who just had to be here…"
That when they was an explosion... that shook the entire palace.
"What was that?" asked Neo Queen Sobriety.
Then the siren went off…
"Something's going on…" said Neo Queen Serenity.
There was bright flash of light for the reincarnated senshi… that's when the scene changed… they were now in the room they were at when they came into the past so to speak… both Sailor Mercury and a purple haired man wearing a purple tuxedo and a mask were on the computer…
Also all the Sailor Senshi, inners and outers… with the exception of Sailor Pluto… as well as Neo Queen Serenity… among the sailor senshi was the mysterious pink senshi along with 3 more sailor senshi… one had red hair put into an odd ponytail, with red collar, skirt, choker and glove lining with a black ribbon in front and a pale red one in back, her glove were as long as the pink mysterious senshi and white boots with red lining, the 2nd had light green hair put into a very odd style that resembled a palm tree… sort of… her collar, skirt, choker and glove lining was light green while the front bow was brown and the back was pale green, her boots was white with light green lining and her gloves were as long as the other two mysterious senshi and the final had sky blue hair put into a bun with strange hair accessories that resembled balls… her skirt, collar, choker and glove linings were also sky blue, the front bow was a deep blue and the back was pale blue, her boots were white with sky blue lining and her gloves were long as the other three mysterious senshi.
"It can't be…" said Past Sailor Mercury.
On the screen there was multiple pictures of parts Crystal Tokyo getting destroyed.
"He's alive?" said Past Sailor Mars shocked.
"I can't believe it…" said Neo Queen Serenity.
"He is…" said the man.
"Who is he?" asked the mysterious sky blue senshi.
"That's Jadeite…" said Neo Queen Serenity.
"So that's Jadeite…" said Past Sailor Venus.
"And he's destroying the city…" said the mysterious green senshi.
"So what are we going to do?" asked Past Sailor Saturn.
"Well the best shot is to fight him!" said the mysterious green senshi.
That's when Past Sailor Pluto appeared… she had a grave look on her face.
"Pu? What is it?" asked Past Neo Sailor Moon.
"Pu…" said Ash with his eye twitching.
"You had a pet name for Setsuna?" asked Ranma laughing.
"Shut up! It was a different life…" said Ash glaring at Ranma.
"No… it's nothing…" said Past Sailor Pluto.
"All right! As Neo Sailor Moon and Princess Serenity it my duty to drive him away…" said Past Neo Sailor Moon.
"Are you sure you can handle this?" asked the mysterious red senshi.
"Yes I am…" said Past Neo Sailor Moon, "All right! Sailor Ceres! Sailor Pallas! Sailor Juno! Sailor Vesta! Come on!"
"Right!" said the mysterious senshi.
All 5 of them ran out of the room… Past Sailor Pluto and Past Sailor Saturn looked at each other sadly…
"Who are those 4?" asked Naruto.
"I think they represent asteroids…" said Kiyo.
"Asteroids?" asked the others.
"Yes… Ceres is the largest asteroid, Vesta is 2nd largest, Pallas is the 2nd to be discovered and Juno was the 3rd to be discovered!" explained Kiyo.
The other 4 and the electric companions sweatdroped.
"Okay…" said Ash.
There was a bright flash of light then there were outside in the city… they were facing off agaisnt the Jewels of the Neo Dark Kingdom.
"Well, well… who do we have here?" said Past Amethyst.
"I'm Neo Sailor Moon!" said past Neo Sailor Moon.
"Sailor Ceres!" said the mysterious pink senshi.
"Sailor Pallas!" said the mysterious sky blue senshi.
"Sailor Juno!" said the mysterious green senshi.
"Sailor Vesta!" said mysterious red Senshi.
"And on behalf of the moon!" said Past Neo Sailor Moon.
"And the asteroid belt!" said what will be known as the Asteroid Senshi.
"We shall punish you!" said all 5.
"Why don't we do a cool speech like that?" asked Luffy.
"He's right…" said Zatch.
"No…" said Ranma, Ash and Kiyo.
"But I kind of like it too…" said Naruto.
"No…" said Ranma, Ash and Kiyo.
"Oh we're not the ones you'll be fighting!" yelled past Opal.
"That's right!" said Jadeite appearing in thin air, "So your Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask's daughter? Funny… I could have sworn I killed him…" said Jadeite.
"My mom told me that story… how you were beaten… and never returned…" said Past Sailor Moon.
"Is that so…" said Jadeite smiling, he shot beams from his hands… the first one hit Sailor Juno head on… she fell to her knees and began to cough up blood then finally falling to ground.
"Juno!" cried the other asteroid senshi.
Sailor Ceres ran next to her and tried to help.
"You can't help her she's going to die… just like you are…" said Jadeite shoot it another beam towards Sailor Ceres sending her flying…
"You monster!" yelled Sailor Vesta.
That's when Jadeite sent a beam to Sailor Vesta… hitting her dead on she fell on her back.
"How could you…" cried Sailor Pallas.
"It was easy…" said Jadeite shooting another beam to Sailor Pallas.
The reincarnated senshi were shocked at what they saw.
"The monster…" said Ash.
"How could he…" said Luffy.
Past Neo Sailor Moon looked at her guardians, just as her mother had the inner senshi… she had.
"Why did you do that?" asked Past Neo Sailor Moon.
That's when he summoned a sword and ran up to Neo Sailor Moon… and stabbed her though the heart.
"No!" cried a voice… it was Neo Queen Serenity and she was with thee purple haired man.
"Well, well… it's been a long time…" said Jodie.
"You…" said Neo Queen Serenity
"Neo Queen Serenity… King Endymon… Let these 5 be a warning that I'm back and I mean business… the Dark Kingdom has returned as the Neo Dark Kingdom…" said Jadeite with an evil smile, "Let's go girls…"
"Right!" said the 5 Jewels of the Neo Dark Kingdom.
All 6 of them teleported away… Neo Queen Serenity and the man who was King Endymon ran towards Neo Sailor Moon.
"Mom…" said Past Neo Sailor Moon, "I'm sorry… I yelled at you…"
"I know… I'm sorry I stuck you with my problems…" said Neo Queen Serenity beginning to cry.
And with one last breath… the Neo Sailor Moon of the Past took her final breath.
"No…" cried Neo Queen Serenity.
Neo Queen Serenity summoned the Silver Crystal… it began to glow lightly… she collapsed slightly…
"Serenity!" called out Endymon.
"If it comes to that…" said Neo Queen Serenity, "I will be able to grant them a new life…"
Endymon nodded… he knew what she was talking about.
With the reincarnated senshi… Ash was visibly upset…
"I guess it tough to watch your past life die…" said Naruto.
Ash only nodded… Pikachu jumped to his shoulder and tired his best comfort him.
There was another brigth flash of light… and they were at what looked like 5 newly laid graves, all the senshi were there so were the guardian cats… all of them were crying but Past Sailor Saturn was crying the most.
"I can't believe she's gone…" said Past Sailor Venus.
A hand touched Neo Queen Serenity from on the back… it was Past Sailor Mars.
"I'm glad she did apologized her last words… I'm sure she would have felt guilty if she didn't see her mom…" said Sailor Mars.
"Thanks…" said Neo Queen Serenity.
"Chibi-Usa…" cried Sailor Saturn.
"The battle ahead is going to be hard… but we have to face him…" sauid Sailor Uranus, "We all have to put our strengths together… and avenge Chibi-Usa, CereCere, VesVes, JunJun and PallaPalla…"
"I hate to break the tense moment… but that was their names?" asked Kiyo with a sweat drop.
"I think so…" said Naruto with a sweat drop.
That's when there was another flash… all the sailor senshi were leaving the palace that's when Jadeite appeared in thin air…. No one noticed him until it was too late…
"Good bye!" he yelled aiming a beam for Neo Queen Serenity… however someone stepped in front of it… Past Sailor Mercury…
"Serenity…." Said Past Sailor Mercury… who began to cough up blood.
"Ami…" cried Neo Sailor Moon.
Past Sailor Neptune went to check her pulse, "She's…."
Everyone went silent…
And that's when Past Sailor Mercury died… Kyo was upset… that's when he felt a small hand touch his hand… it was of course Zatch… Kiyo gave a small smile.
"How could you!" yelled Past Sailor Mars.
"It was easy…." said Jadeite.
The two began to fight… that's also when Amethyst from nowhere hit Sailor Jupiter from behind with a punch.
"Hey" yelled Past Sailor Jupiter.
"Amethyst!" yelled Jadeite taking a break from his fight with Past Sailor Mars.
"We need to thin out the numbers…" said Amethyst.
Jadeite knew she was right…
"Let's go!" said Sailor Jupiter…
The tow ran off for a fight…
There was a bright flash of light and there were in a different part of the city… and it was near the end of Past Sailor Jupiter and Amethyst's fight… Past Sailor Jupiter was visibly tired.
"Oh great… I know it my time…" said Ranma.
"It's to end this…" said Amethyst.
Amethyst summoned a sword made of plants and drove into Past Sailor Jupiter's chest. Past Sailor Jupiter fell to the ground and the sword disappeared.
"Jadeite will be please…" said Amethyst with an evil smile.
Ranma was shaking… he couldn't bear watching it…
The scene once again changed with a flash… it was clear that Jadeite won his fight with Sailor Mars… she was dying and Neo Queen Serenity cried over her…
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry… I'm sorry how I treated you during the early days…" said Past Sailor Mars.
"I know…" said Neo Queen Serenity.
"Serenity… Usagi… if you give me another chance at life… please make sure I'm in your shoes…" said Past Sailor Mars.
"What do you mean?" asked Neo Queen Serenity.
"Well… um…" said Past Sailor Mars trying to find the right words "An idiot who's a leader of a group."
Neo Queen Serenity sweatdroped… "I resent that Rei…" said Neo Queen Serenity.
Sailor Mars laughed then began to cough, "Please promise me… if you do that… please… do that…" said Past Sailor Mars… and that was the last thing she said.
"If I do it… when I do it… I will make sure that will happen…" said Neo Queen Serenity.
Luffy was shaken… he knew what happened put aside what Past Sailor Mars' last wish was… he placed his hat over his eyes.
"I'm the last one…" said Naruto.
There was another flash… this time there were Past Sailor Venus, Past Sailor Uranus and Past Sailor Neptune were facing off agaisnt Jadeite.
"I can't believe you!" yelled Past Sailor Venus.
"Well, well… it's a shame I never fought you three… before then again it was worth it to finally kill those two partially…" said Jadeite.
"Let's do it!" said Past Sailor Venus.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
"Deep Submerge!"
"Space Sword Blaster!"
All three attack aimed for their indented target… but… Jadeite created a shield… that bounced off the attacks… and aimed towards the three that fired them… all of them hit…
"Michiru…" said Past Sailor Uranus
"Harkura…" said Past Sailor Neptune.
The two reach out and touched each other hands before departing this world.
"I still can't believe they were a couple…" said Naruto with a sweat drop.
"I know… makes you think…" said Luffy.
Jadeite walked over to the two outer senshi… and saw they had died… but Past Sailor Venus was trying to get.
"Well it seems got the brunt of the attack…" said Jadeite, "Die!"
He shot a beam towards Past Sailor Venus… killing her…
Naruto began to cry… he was lasso shaking as well… now they all knew what it was like to see their past lives die…"
There was another scene flash… This time Neo Queen Serenity, King Endymon and the Guardian cats were being walked down a hall by Past Sailor Pluto…
"Pluto… you're taking us to the Door of Time… aren't you?" asked Neo Queen Serenity.
"Yes I am…" said Sailor Pluto sadly.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because I'm going to end the world…" said Past Sailor Saturn who was there as well leaning agaisnt a nearby wall.
"Saturn?" asked Neo Queen Serenity, "You two knew this as going to happen didn't you?"
"Yes…" both stated.
"I know why didn't you tell me…" said Neo Queen Serenity, "I understand completely… so Jadeite and his minions…"
"This is not only place he attack… more than a billion people have been killed and many more are injured and dieing…" said Past Sailor Saturn.
"I'm sorry…" said Past Sailor Pluto.
"I'm going to do my duty…" said Past Sailor Saturn.
"Serenity…" said King Endymon.
"What?" asked Neo Queen Serenity.
"I know what your duty is her duty is done… I know that I join you at the Gates of Time… I will be the only one alive… that is why I'm going to stay…" said King Endymon.
Serenity was sad then looked at Endymon and said "I promise to make sure you are not reincarnated… so we can be together…"
King Endymon nodded, the two embraced and kissed… then Neo Queen Serenity fallowed Past Sailor Pluto.
There was another flash for the reincarnated senshi they were in a courtyard… they saw Past Sailor Saturn stranding nearby. She was crying… stopped and said nothing… she dropped the Silence Glaive… the sky turned dark… the moon began to show… that's when she collapsed in death…
"So… that's Gary's powers…" said Ash surprised.
"The power to end the world… not to be taken lightly… that's for sure…" said Kiyo.
There was another flash of light they were in another part of the city… a door appeared from nowhere… the door opened and Neo Queen Serenity came out the doors.
That's when Jadeite looking weak appeared… in front of her.
"What happened?" he demanded.
"Sailor Saturn gave her life... to end the world…" said Neo Queen Serenity crying, "You killed too many people… especially my friends…"
"What are you going do? Kill me?" asked Jadeite.
"No… killing brings nothing but pain… I'm going to seal you… I hope the seal will last but… I don't think it will last more than 50 years…" said Neo Queen Serenity.
That's when she began to use the sliver crystal… the light it Gave off was blinding…
"I know you're watching…" said Neo Queen Serenity.
The reincarnated senshi heard this… they tried their best to look at Neo Queen Serenity.
"I know you're their reincarnations… and I'm sorry…" she said.
That's when the light became too intense…
A minute later Ash opened his eyes… he was on the floor of the computer room with the others waking up as well… fortunately they were still boys meaning that their goal has been met.
"I think… she gave her life so that her friends could have new lives…" said Kiyo.
"Yeah…" said Naruto.
"We have to make sure that Jadeite doesn't do that again…" said Luffy.
"To kill people… to kill enough that the world would have to end… that's terrible…" said Ranma.
"Let's make sure… that never happens to any of our worlds…" said Ash.
"Right!" said the other 4 as Pikachu and Zatch nodded in agreement.
And with that… they knew more about their past lives…
Next Time: The race for the remaining Rainbow Crystals begin! And where's the 3rd crystal? Under the girl's locker room of Furinkan High? This is vaguely familiar... what will happen? Find out next time...
