Princess Universe: Infinity & Beyond
Episode 1
Meyana-hime, Hikari no Honto
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Selenity looked quite sadly out the window at the vast expanse of space. Not her usual view of the rolling fields of Centra, but of the stars one could see while orbiting the planet. She sighed and turned her back on the window, there was no use fretting over it, he was going and that was that. What was worse was the fact that he was taking Seiji with him. Human men could be so stubborn, and Mamoru was about as stubborn as they came.

She often wondered what had attracted her to him, it was quite possibly the sweet green eyes and the dark brown hair and the soft gentle, yet silly expression he wore on his face most of the time. But most of all just being with him gave her such a thrill. But the man was so irresponsible. Leaving her in the middle of her pregnancy when she was three days overdue and taking Seiji with him. As if having her husband leave wasn't enough he just had to take their son with him.

He said he wanted to take Seiji back to Japan to see the other side of his roots and meet Mamoru's parents. She had screeched at him that was fine but why now. He had told her that this was the best time of the year to go and anyway it would be fine he would be on call at all times so if she were to start having the baby he could rush back as fast as he could find a place where he could teleport there. And he'd then refused to say anything more on the subject.

She had settled down about the fact but it still bothered her and now more than ever because the time for their departure. A knock came at her door and she called the person in. A guard came in and told her that the King and Prince would be departing for earth in a few minutes. She dismissed him saying she would be at the shuttle port in 2 minutes. She straightened her hair and quickly ran a brush through it and looked at herself in the mirror. Picture perfect as Mamoru put it. She stood quickly and left her room and headed towards the shuttle port.

She arrived with only minutes to spare. There were Mamoru and Seiji standing in their royal attire. She stood across from them and struggled for words.

Finally she said "I wish you wouldn't go."

"Selece, we've already been through this. Must we go through it again?" Mamoru asked. Selenity shook her head and turned to her son.

"Well, then since your father wont go at another time and you to must leave me all alone..." Selenity said with a sad face.

"Oh poor mommy!" Seiji said and laughed. Mamoru laughed as well.

"I hope you have a good time." Selenity said and hugged him.

Seiji smiled and said "I'll miss you Mom."

"I'll miss you too Seiji." Selenity said. Seiji grinned. Selenity turned to her husband. "Now you be careful and don't let him..." Selenity began before she was cut off by Mamoru's mouth pressing to hers. She returned his kiss and ignored Seiji's slight chuckle. "Mamo..." She whispered.

"Don't worry Selece. We'll be fine. I'll miss you and if anything starts to happen I'll be back in a flash." Mamoru said quietly.

"I'll miss you too Mamo. I love you." Selenity said quietly. She let him go and they turned and walked towards the shuttle entrance. Seiji turned around and waved and smiled at his mother and they entered the craft and were gone.

As the shuttle took off she folded her hands in prayer hoping they would be all right. There was a tap at my shoulder and Selenity turned to see Queen Serenity of the moon who was staying with them until the baby was born, her husband had died in a freak explosion about 7 months ago.

"Hello Serene, where's Sara?" Selenity asked wondering where the Sayin queen was.

"She's attending to some business on a tele conference, some minor rebellion on Narmina." Serenity said and smiled. "Worried about them?"

"Yes, I know they'll be fine but...I can't help but worrying something will happen." Selenity.

"Don't worry Selece, they'll be back before you know it." Serenity said and looked out the window with Selenity as the shuttle took off and began its journey towards earth. They watched as there was a glow at the engines as the hyper drive powered up. Then there was a flash of light and a loud boom.

And Serenity and Selenity shielded their eyes and when they can see again they can see a huge explosion where the space ship had just been. Then the sirens went off. Selenity's eyes went wide with shock and her knees became weak under her. She fell down to her knees as the tears began to run down her face.

"Mamo...Seiji..." She said softly in shock. "Oh god...no...no no no." Serenity was still staring in shock. Tears just began streaming down Selenity's face. "NOOOO!" Selenity screamed. Serenity snapped out of her trance and quickly kneeled down beside her and put a hand on Selenity's shaking shoulder. "NO! Mamo..Seiji...NO!" Selenity cried again and again. She went on like that for quite some time and finally she started to return to her senses and her cries became softer and softer.

"There, there." Serenity repeated softly over and over. By this time Saratana had joined them and was also trying to comfort Selenity, no doing as well as Serenity was because unlike Serenity, Saratana's husband was living. Finally when it seemed that the worst was over Selenity got a determined look in her eyes and grasped the small charm hanging from her neck and it quickly grew it a small wand with a gold and silver crystal sitting on it. Selenity's hand gripped it tightly in her hand.

"Mamo...Seiji...I wont let this be...I wont let it!" Selenity whispered and the crystal began to glow.

Serenity's jerked to look again at Selenity from where she had been talking with a guard and gasped. "Selece no!"

"Selece you mustn't!" Saratana cried also staring at her. But Selenity didn't seem to hear her. She just gripped the wand tighter and it glowed brighter.

"No, Selece, if you use the uchuuzuishou now you'll be killed!" Serenity cried.

"And then you would be the one who was dead, is that what you want?" Saratana cried.

"It's no use Selece please listen. Even if you could resurrect them you would die and then you'd still be sperated from them!" Serenity cried shaking her. Saratana reached out and tried to take the wand from her, but with all Saratana's Sayin super strength she could not budge the wand and the crystal glowed brighter than ever.

"Selece you'll die, please don't!" Serenity cried.

"And the baby, think about the baby you'll kill it too!" Saratana cried. At this Selenity's head jerked up and her eyes glazed.

"Selece!" Serenity and Saratana cried.

Selenity blinked and look about. She was in full royal regalia and was floating in a void of bright light. "Where am I?" She questioned the air.

"You are on the bridge between the Universe and the realm of mind." A calm serene voice said.

"Who are you!?" Selenity cried alarmed. A woman appeared in the gowns of a goddess. "You...You're..." Selenity stuttered in amazement.

"Yes, I am Selene." The woman said.

"But how?" Selenity asked shocked.

"I did not bring you here to play twenty questions. Selenity, my descendant. You mustn't use the uchuuzuishou, you would die, I believe that is not what you want." Selene said.

"I don't care if it means saving Mamo and Seiji!" Selenity cried.

"Yes, they would live but you and your unborn child would die. And let me tell you now Selenity, that child is very important. If you die and take the child with you the prophecy I made will not be fulfilled and the Universe and all other worlds will perish. Do you want the weight of countless deaths on your shoulders?" Selene questioned.

"I don't care, Mamo and Seiji mean more to me than anything else in the universe." Selenity cried.

"Selenity, if you die to bring them back Deomoi will return and he will know who they are and Mamoru and Seiji will die slowly and painfully. This time the died quickly and didn't know it until it was over. Deomoi will not have mercy, especially on your son, Seiji." Selene said. Selenity was taken aback by all of this. "Yes, you could save them for a short time but what our family has fought for would be lost because of it." Selene said. "Think carefully before you chose." Selene then began to fade as Selenity fought an inner battle.

Selenity returned to the space station and Serenity and Saratana were calling her name. Selenity felt Saratana tugging at the wand and she let Saratana have it.

"It's going to be okay Selece." Serenity said softly. Before Selenity could answer pain rocked her body and she let out a cry and clutched her stomach.

"Selece!" Serenity and Saratana both cried in alarm. Instantly Saratana began to do a mind probe to see what was wrong.

"Serene! We have to get back to Centra quick! The shock has sent her into labor, I think the baby's in trouble." Saratana cried. Serenity nodded and saw the captain of the ship running by and she stopped him.

"You must make a shuttle ready, A GOOD shuttle, Selenity has gone into labor because of all this shock." Serenity commanded in the most stately way she could manage at the moment. She turned back to Saratana and Selenity. Saratana was gathering Selenity into her arms. Selenity cried out in pain again.

"Hurry this isn't going to be pretty!" Saratana cried and off they went.

*

A mind snapped into awareness in a warm world that seemed to be full of water. 'Where am I?' She wondered and looked around and she saw she was in a tunnel, at one end there was a very bright light, it was cold. At the other end there was another light but it was not as bright but it was warmer and she could hear voices at this end. She tried to swim towards it but it was like swimming through glue. She could now see the people, two woman noble faces with great concern and a mans face. They couldn't see her. 'Maybe if I can make a sound or get just a little closer they can pull me out,'

*

All hell had broken loose. Now on Centra again they were in the main medical chamber and there where doctors running around everywhere. Selenity was screaming in pain, no matter how many pain relievers they gave her she could still feel it. The monitors showed the baby was in distress. Serenity and Saratana were at Selenity's side encouraging her. They now realized that something similar would be happening to them soon and marveled at the fact that this was Selenity's second time.

"We're gonna have to do an emergency cesarean section. The baby's in distress!" One of the doctors yelled. A Japanese doctor came up to Serenity and Saratana.

"I'm sorry Serenity-ouhi, Saratana-ouhi, we must ask you to step back for a while." Serenity and Saratana nodded and stepped back to let the doctors do their thing. Before they knew, Selenity was out like a light and three doctors delved deep into her. It seemed like forever but at last one of them had it and the other two stopped and looked on as he drew the small child from Selenity's gapping belly. It was covered in blood and womb grease.

The doctor quickly checked for defects and cleaned her off and then looked towards Serenity and Saratana. Serenity walked forward and took the baby from him. They looked her over. On her head she already had a few silver locks. The baby yawned and opened her eyes to blink at them, her eyes where just like her mothers, crystal blue with gold flecks as if the stars were reflecting in them. Upon her forehead was the silver cut crescent of the universe family. Serenity let Saratana hold her and then they placed her on the pillow next to the sleeping Selenity so she would be the first thing Selenity saw when she woke up.

*

Selenity slowly woke up and looked about. She turned her head and saw a baby sleeping on a pillow next to her head. Her baby she realized and sat up slowly. She then saw Serenity and Saratana. They were asleep leaning against each other in two chairs, Saratana was even drooling slightly. What Selenity would give for a camera. Then she picked up her baby and cradled her. Then a voice came in her head.

'Meyana, her name is Meyana.' Selenity looked up in surprise. Then the voice came again but this time she recognized it as Selene's 'Her name is Meyana, Selenity.' Selenity looked down at her child.

"Meyana." She mummered. "My little Meia-chan."

*

Far away on Miakla, the ruling planet of the Milky Way Galaxy, Queen Relena of that Galaxy brought the heir of her family into the world. She and King Heero named him Ryono. Another piece of the prophecy fell into place.

*Six years later

"Welcome Queen Relena and King Heero. I'm so glad you could make it." Queen Selenity greeted the king and queen of the Milky Way Galaxy. "I believe you've met my daughter Meyana."

"Yes, a pleasure as always to see you two again, I don't believe you've met my son Ryono and my daughter Tanashia." Queen Relena said gesturing towards the black haired and tiger blue eyed young boy and the green haired and purple young girl with her and Heero.

"That's wonderful come lets go to your quarters." As soon as they were out of sight of any guards Selenity dropped the formality. "I do wish you'd told me you would be bringing your son and daughter, now I'll have to find a place for them to stay." Selenity said.

"I am terribly sorry but we couldn't leave them home this time." Relena said with a shrug.

"The only room I can think of to put them in are the two next to Meyana's." Selenity said.

"That's fine with me." Relena said. And with that they began to chatter happily like old friends. Heero walked silently listening to the two women talk. He didn't add to their conversation unless asked. He was more of the quite reserved type. His son Ryono walked beside him, like his father he was reserved and quite. But he possessed a fiery temper that was all his mothers. His little sister was bubbly and happy, but most decisively shy. Meyana walked happily beside her mother listening to her talk and steeling glances at the two kids walking next to their father. The boy was her age and the girl was a year and a half younger. Maybe they would be her friends. They soon reached the palace and Relena and Heero were shown to their room and Selenity lead the three children down the hall that Meyana's room was on.

"If you children need anything don't hesitate to ask." Selenity said and left.

"Hi! I'm Meia!" Meyana said in a happy tone of voice.

"I'm Tana!" Tanashia answered back.

Ryono was so taken aback by this he barely managed to stutter out "I'm Ryo."

"Sonkei's funny." Tana said.

"Yep." Meia giggled.

"I'm the otohime of the Milky Way galaxy and the hime of the planet Pluto. Who are you."

"I'm the hime of the universe." Meyana said proudly.

"Cool! Sonkei is the ouji of the Milky Way Galaxy. He's a Samurai Trooper, Rekka no Ryo. I'm gonna be Sailorpluto." Tana said proudly.

"I'm gonna be Sailoruniverse." Meia said.

*

"Come on lets go." I said as we ran through the forest towards where those new warriors, the Samurai Troopers were training.

"I can't go any faster." Serena said tripping over her gown. Siconja and I had long since hiked up our gowns but Serena thought that was very undignified. Pretty soon they reached the clearing where the boys were training. Meyana immediately recognized Ryo, Prince Rowano of the Sun, and Prince Saion of the Ocean planet Cyeu.

"Oh. See that one with the blond hair he's Sagiru-otoouji of the Planet Jupiter." Serenity said.

"And the one with the black hair and gold headband is Kentyu-ouji of the planet Heerto." Siconja said pointing.

"Oh cool look they're color coded." Serenity said.

"Cool, the one in red is Ryono-ouji of the Milky Way galaxy, you know Tana's older brother. The one in blue is Rowano-ouji of the Sun. And the other one in blue is Saion-ouji of the planet Cyeu." I said pointing at each one in turn.

"I know Rowano-ouji, hes from my solar system, you know hes the prince of my sun." Serenity said.

We all giggled together. Then we heard a voice calling us. I recognized it as Elder Sailorpiety.

"Meyana-hime, Siconja-hime, Serenity-hime! Time for your lessons!"

"That's Elder Sailorpiety calling us, we'd better go!" I said and took off through the bushes. We found Elder Sailorpiety standing outside the training grounds looking very annoyed.

"Meyana-hime, Siconja-hime! What are you doing what your dress's like that? That is not good behavior for a princess, what if someone saw you?" Elder Sailorpiety said.

"We're sorry Elder Sailorpiety-san." Meia and Siconja said in unison.

"It seems that Serenity is the only one who knows how a princess should act." Elder Sailorpiety said. Just as she finished telling them off a large boom came from the other end of the arena and they turned to see Younger Sailorrevenge and Younger Sailortruth fighting at the other end being supervised by Elder Sailorinnocence.

"Hey Asuka, could you take them out in the woods, I've got to work with these guys." Elder Sailorpiety yelled.

"Sure thing Umi!" Elder Sailorinnocence called back and called out to the girls. Younger Sailorrevenge and Younger Sailortruth jumped up from where they were sitting rubbing their heads and ran for the woods after Elder Sailorinnocence. Elder Sailorpiety walked into the ring and we followed meekly.

"All right girls shift into your practice gear." Elder Sailorpiety said. I nodded and grabbed a small pink diamond shaped crystal from nowhere and held it up. It let out a bright silver light which left me in a silver kimono top and kimono pants with a pink ribbon tied around my waist. Serenity and Siconja pulled out similar crystal and changed to, Siconja to a lilac and gold uniform and Serenity to a white and pink. Elder Sailorpiety gave us some excersies to do and sat at the edge of the arena to watch. As we went through the excerises we took turns mock fighting each other until Elder Sailorpiety called us to a halt.

"Okay girls today I'm want you to try and transform for the first time. Here are your Henshin items." A six point crystal locket appeared in front of me, in the center was my symbol engraved on it. In front of Siconja floated a golden heart with a strange symbol on top of her own Sayin symbol. In front of Serenity floated a clear crystal circle with a strange symbol on it with small wings protruding from its sides. I reached out and grabbed the crystal in front of me. Elder Sailorpiety smiled at me. As I held the crystal I felt a power I had never felt before and a phrase came to mind.

"UNIVERSE STAR CRYSTAL POWER...MAKE-UP!" I felt my body lift off the ground and my gown melted into me. Ribbons of silver energy that felt incredibly smooth wrapped around me. Sparkles of silver flew around my body and a skin tight body suit formed. I drew one hand across my face with my fingers in a 'V' I opened my eyes and winked and a silver mist formed gloves covering my hands. I brought one leg up and stamped it down on the ground and Silver specks flew up and formed boots on my feet. I grabbed one of the ribbons flying around me and tied a bow and began to twirl as I let the bow go and it attached to the front of my uniform and another bow tied itself on the back of my uniform. A twirled about my fingers trailing and ribbon followed my fingers forming a skirt. I threw back my head and my symbol glowed and a tiara formed around it. Jewels appeared in my hair and earrings formed on my ears. I opened my eyes winked and twirled around and took a pose with my arms wrapped around me.

I blinked and looked down. I was in a Sailor suit. A silver skirt, bows of white and gold collar. The ends of my gloves were bunched up in three silver bunches. I looked down and silver tie up boots encased my legs. I felt my forehead and odangos. On my forehead there was a thing of metal that felt like a tiara, in the center my fingers traced a symbol that felt like mine. In my odangos there were circles of gems.

"What...?" I said confused.

"You've Transformed Meyana-hime." Elder Sailorpiety said. "Your to be the new Sailoruniverse, as you already know. Your the person that the younger emotional Senshi are being trained to protect. Hopefully you'll never need to become Sailoruniverse but if you do, you have the power. Serenity, Siconja I suggest you try it too."

Siconja looked confused at the locket in front of her then reached for it a tightened her grasp on it and yelled. "COSMIC SAYIN STAR POWER...MAKE-UP!" Stars began to fly around her body as it lifted off the ground and her gown melted into her. She blinked her eyes and her locket let out ribbons covering her body with a white fuku. Feather flew to her waist forming a skirt, alternating from white to lilac with pink then gold stripes on the trim. Her locket attached just bellow her collar bone and ribbons flew from it making a gold collar with two lilac stripes. A transparent cape flew out from under the collar and hung to just above the ground. A ribbon circled round her tying it front of her locket. It was transparent with a lilac tinge and a pink trim. Another ribbon did the same at her back. only it was transparent with a tinge of pink the followed to her mid thighs. Lilac mists circled round her legs forming long white boots, up to her mid thighs where there was a gold trim with a circular lilac gem. She spins and feathery white wings form on her back. She does a little bow and her Sayin symbol flips and becomes the Cosmic symbol. As this happens silver stars form on her ears and a charm the same as her brooch formed above her skirt. She winked and took a pose.

"Oh wicked!" Serenity cried and reached out to grab her locket. She threw her hand with the locket in the air and yelled. "COSMOS MOON STAR POWER...MAKE-UP!" Her body lifted off the ground and her gown melted into her body. A flurry of stars surrounded forming a one piece body suit and rainbows coverged on it skirt making rainbow stripes. A gold glow appeared above that forming a charm that was indetical to her locket. Her locket attached it self to her collar bone and ribbons flew from it to form a collar, white with gold stripes. She grabbed a flying ribbon and tied it about her trought making her choker with the cosmos symbol on it. A breeze blew by her and a transparent cape formed under her collar. She stamped a foot of the ground and white heel with small wings formed on her feet. Ribbons tied a bow behind her back to make a trailing back bow of gold. Feathers fly about her and feathered wings grow on her back. She spins around and then comes to a stop. Her crescent moon glows and flips revealing the cosmos symbol on her forehead. She winks and her earring and hair jewels appear. Her hair turns pure white and a long staff grows in her hands. She spins to take her pose.

"Oh this is soooo cool!" Serena squealed. Siconja tried an experimental leap. she was carried long and far. When she landed she squealed and leaped back.

"You two have become the two most powerful Universal guards. Siconja you are Sailorcosmic and Serenity you are Sailorcosmos. Siconja you will become the leader of the Universal guards. These guards are the most powerful Senshi in the universe. They were created in hopes that Sailoruniverse's terrible power would never need to be used." Elder Sailorpiety said. "Now I suggest you get back to your exercises, your speed and strength has increased twenty fold and it will take some getting used to." With that Elder Sailorpiety retreated the edge of the arena.

Siconja looked at Serena and Serena looked at me then we all looked at each other and thrust our fists up in the air yelling "YEAH!" and began. Siconja was the best because of her natural Sayin strength, if she had been human hers would be more like increased fourthy fold. But I didn't give up and fought her hard and as it turned out I was the best able to ultalize this new strength.

Just then the young Ronin Warriors were walking by returning from their training. Rowano poked Sagiru in the side and pointed a finger in our direction. Sagiru looked as if he were about to laugh.

Just then Kentyu jabbed Saion in the side and said "Yo, Sai look at the girls, don't they remind you of the Princess Meyana, Serenity, and Siconja."

"The are Meyana-hime, Serenity-hime, and Siconja-hime lame brain." Saion said. "Don't you know anything."

Kentyu looked very embarrassed and shut up.

"Yeah I heard that they are training to be Sailor Senshi." Rowano said and looked over at Ryo. "Like your little sister right?"

"Yeah Tana's training to be the next Sailorpluto." Ryono said. Just then their instructor gave them a stern look and the walked off quickly with another word.

But right before they left they all looked at us one more time and it was at this moment Siconja, Serena and I chose to stop training and wave at them all. This was probably the reason they walked off so fast.
