NOTE!!: This story has now shifted from the Silver Millennium to the 'Present'. The new setting is based in Tokyo at the beginning of Sailor Stars, right after they sent Queen Neherenia back to relive her life, but before we ever meet the StarLights. Infact, I'm not sure if you'll ever see the StarLights in this story. I never did like them that much. To weird, a bunch of guys turning into supergirls ^_^ Enjoy.
Chapter 4: The Future
The Senshi find themselves gathered, once more, in the park. They stand in a semi-circle around the youngest of their group. ChibiUsa looks at everyone with tears in her eyes and gives them all one more good-bye hug. Stepping back, the pink-haired pre-teen lifts a crystal key into the air.
Before she can say anything, a portal appears between her and the group. Out of the portal steps Sailors Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, and Saturn, much to the surprise of the Inner Senshi.
"You weren't going to leave with out saying 'Good-bye' to me, were you?" asks Sailor Saturn, a sad look in her purple eyes.
The Outers de-transform into Setsuna, Michiru, Haruka, and Hotaru (respectively of their entrances). Hotaru moves forward to give ChibiUsa a hug while Michiru leans into Haruka's side.
"Small Lady," Setsuna says softly as she holds out a note to the young girl. "Your parents sent me with this letter for you."
ChibiUsa bites her lower lip as she opens the pink-colored paper to read the note inside. Tears spring to her eyes again and she starts to cry as she reads it. Usagi moves and kneels next to her, taking the letter and reading it out loud to the gathered Senshi.
"Dearest Small Lady,
"I know that you wish desperately to come home to me and your father, but you have not finished training. While we missed you to distraction, we cannot allow you to come home yet. Things have changed slightly since our last letter. You have more people to meet and more friends to make. You also must learn how to protect Crystal Tokyo with your powers. As you stand now, I cannot give you the title of Leader.
"I am sure that my younger self will not mind getting to keep you for a while longer, and your father will enjoy spending more time with you. I look forward to when I can finally call you home and give you a giant bunny-hug.
"Please make use proud, Small Lady.
"Your loving parents,
"Serenity & Endymion"
Usagi turns and wraps the silently crying girl in her arms. "Oh, sweetheart," she whispers. "I'm sorry that you're not going to get to see your parents yet, but I'm very glad that I can spend more time with you. And if Mamoru wasn't on a plane to the United States of America, he would say the same thing."
The girl sniffles and hugs Usagi once more before pulling away, then turns to grin at the others who are gathered. "Looks like I'm not going anywhere!" she says with a smile. "I was sad to be leaving, but since I'm not, I'm glad. I get to spend more time with Hotaru and Setsuna and Usagi and all of you!"
The others smile, then Setsuna steps forward. "We have been asked to assist in your training, Small Lady," the older woman says softly. "We will be staying at the mansion across from Ami's own home. We will be expecting you every afternoon after school. You may have the weekends free."
"But, Pu!" the girl says with sad red eyes. "What will I tell Ikuko-mama?"
"You will tell her that you are attending an after-school study session with Hotaru," Haruka says with a wink.
"And I will most deffinatly be there, ChibiUsa," Hotaru says with a smile.
"Thank you, Hotaru!" ChibiUsas hugs the dark-haired girl with a giggle.
bScene change to a park somewhere/b
Black Rose watched as the strange girl who called herself Sailor Iron Mouse shot two golden pinwheels of energy from her cuffs at a famous news anchor that she'd (Black Rose) only just learned of and had forgotten his name.
Black Rose flinched at the man's scream when the pinwheels slammed into his chest from front and behind. Above his arched-back head, a pale yellow flower appeared and opened to reveal a diamond-shaped crystal, a star seed apparently.
"What a beautiful Star Seed," Iron Mouse said with awe, then frowned and pouted when the Star Seed blackened, dying. "Oh no! Madame Galaxia won't like this! Time to go!" She turns towards Black Rose, who is staring in awe and horror, "Enjoy the Farge!" With that, Iron Mouse leaps backwards into a telephone booth and vanishes with the booth into the ground.
"Farge?" Black Rose asks in a puzzled tone, then gasps as black vines rip upwards and engulf the news anchor. "Oh no. I guess I'll find out. I just wish I could find the Sailor Senshi. They're never around when I need them."
The vines burst apart to reveal the Farge, a pink-skinned man with a microphone built into his cheek, a handful of papers with SHARP looking edges, and a pointer in the other hand.
"This just in!" the Farge cries. "Tonight top story?! Headless body found in the park! More after this commercial!" He throws the papers at Black Rose, who leaps out of the way, summoning her Dark Moon Key as she lands. The papers strike the tree she had been standing in front of. The tree now resembled a pile of firewood.
"Oh no," she whispers, then stands and points the key at the Farge. "This just in," she says, mimicking him. "A Farge found dead in the park. Dark Moon Key! Destroy!" She goes through the motions of Pluto's 'Dead Scream' attack, only her words are shouted and her energy-ball is deepest black, sucking light and eating it.
"No!" the Farge cries as the energy rips into him. His shredded body falls to the ground, smoking. He returns to his normal form and the Star Seed hovers above his head. A breath later, the Star Seed shatters and the news anchor stops breathing.
"I'm sorry," Black Rose whispers, then turns around and leaps away from the dead man to continue her search for her sister. There must be a reason she had been pulled to Japan other than this strange happening. She wouldn't even think about the fact that she'd just killed a man.
