As he leapt into the time sphere that had been opened to the Sailors, Replakor felt the full sway of history on his mind. He saw the past (Romans, Saxons, Vikings, Knights, Conquistadors, the Edo period), the events in the present year (the return of the Dark Kingdom, the rise of the elusive Sailor Venus, Sailor Mercury being brainwashed by Kunzite) and the future (the world surrounded by ice, which gave way to an empire of Crystal, which would fall eventually, as all empires are wont to do). He knew all would be utterly meaningless if the Dark Kingdom took hold of the power he had absorbed, and used it to purge the Earth of free will and emotion. He also knew that the future he saw would only come about if the Senshi got their hands on that same power, but there were those who would suffer from it, forced to never set foot on their planet of birth for the sins of their ancestors. As long as he held on to the Crystal, neither would come to pass. As he thought about this, he appeared in the middle of a crowded room, presumably his intended destination. Replakor sensed 3 familiar life forms, 2 of them Sailors, the 3rd unknown.
Still in their disguises, Usagi and Rei were led to the execution block. Apparently, this was a rush job, since they were being executed by beheading and hanging respectively. In a properly planned execution, they would have had time to either clean the axe for a second beheading, or reset the noose for a second hanging. There was a man who looked like a cleric, with a book in hand.
"The charges state that you were found in the gallery wing of the Palace.", the man said to the 2 girls. "When you were found, the alarm had been sounded and the Blade from the Sword Of Mona, the first ruler of our Kingdom of the Moon, was missing from its proper place. You were the only ones in the room when the alarm sounded. You are clearly the guilty party." Rei noticed that he had a bizarre accent that made half his words sound dirty or like he had a poor grasp of English.
"But we aren't.", Usagi protested. "You have to believe us."
But the cleric ignored them. "In accordance with the law of our King, and in the name of the Moon, you shall be punished by being sentenced to-."
"Stop!", a guard ran in. "Those servers are innocent. Release them."
The Princess who had accosted them stood up with anger. "What is the meaning of this outrageous accusation?"
"I am the one in charge of reviewing the security footage for the gallery wing.", the man replied. "And I found this." As if on cue, footage played on a large screen in the centre of the room. It showed the two disguised Sailors walking into the gallery wing… and the Blade was already gone. "They didn't steal the Blade."
"Then who did.", the Cleric asked.
"Someone who had access to the exhibits without setting off the security alarms.", the guard replied. "Someone who's been dabbling in the dark arts of the Negative Universe for some time. Someone like…" he pointed to the Princess "the second-in line to the throne."
Everyone in the audience gasped in shock. One girl, presumably the older Princess, Usagi thought, stood up and said. "Why sister? Why would you betray the sacred oath of the royal line?"
"Oh that's an easy answer.", the other Princess replied. "Do you know what a burden it is to be second in line? To live, knowing that you'll never hold any real power around here? With the Blade of Mona, I could change all that."
Before she could continue, a strange yellow-skinned, inhuman creature appeared. Everyone was shocked by this, except for Usagi and Rei, who recognised him immediately; Replakor. In the confusion, the Legendary Blade was sent flying out of the Princess's pocket and flying towards the main area. Shedding their disguises, Usagi and Rei leaped up and grabbed the artefact everyone was fighting over.
"No!", Replakor cried. He leapt at the two airborne Scouts, yelling "Give me the Blade!". As he got near to them, a sphere of golden energy enveloped them, causing them to disappear. While this was happening, the treacherous second-born Princess tried to run away, only to be confronted by her sister.
"I'm sorry to do this sister, but you leave me no choice.", the older princess said solemnly. "For your seditious acts, you will be banished from our dimension and stripped of your name and title." She pointed the Crescent Moon Wand at her now-enemy and recited a banishment curse.
"I have no need of my old name anymore.", the younger Princess snarled. "If I cant have this Kingdom, then no-one can. Know this sister," she began to fade "I will return. And when I do, your precious Kingdom will fall to me, Metalia!" And with that, she was gone.
In a dark void, Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars fought Replakor over the Legendary Blade. Moon pulled out her Moon Wand to try and connect the 2, but Replakor knocked it out of her hand, before kicking her down. Mars grabbed the 2 artefacts quickly and put them together. She was surrounded with light.
"So this is the power of the Blade, huh? Let's see what it can do in a fight." She swung the Sword at Replakor's chest, where he housed the 7 Rainbow Crystals he had stolen. It exploded open, causing the 7 Crystals to fly out, merge into the Silver Imperium Crystal and attach to the Sword of Mona. Mars was surrounded by an explosion, which cleared to reveal her, wearing armour. "Blazing Armour Sailor Mars, ready!"
"No! This cannot be.", Replakor yelled. He made to retrieve the Crystal but Mars had already raised the Sword above her head.
"Mars Corona Burning Strike! This is for my grandfather, you monster!" With that, she brought the Sword down on Replakor, hitting him with enough force to send him hurtling out of the time stream early. Mars powered down as she picked up Sailor Moon and made for the end of the tunnel, aiming to go home and rest.
