Hi! I'm back again. Here is the next chapter of this series. I have a lot of things to do, like school, an annoying brother, and other SM series that I am writing. Let the story begin.

Wait!! I nearly forgot the most important thing. Silly me. Sailor Moon isn't mine. It belongs to Naoko Takeuchi. So there.

A New Start

*Part 2*

8888888888888888888888

Sailor Moon calmly brushed her hands together as if to brush off the imaginary dust on it. Turning around, she faced the four young men that had watched everything. She grinned at them.

"Are you all right?"

The four men shook themselves out of their reverie. Each couldn't believe that what had happened was real. No one, especially the four of them, had ever thought that Sailor Moon would vanquish the enemy that way. It was amazing. Truly amazing. One minute they saw the man 'Jadeite' defending himself from Sailor Moon's attack, the next they saw the young superheroine punching him on the stomach and then throwing him on the building's wall after giving him a headlock. And the final shock was when Sailor Moon came after him and dusted him. Yes, dusted 'Jadeite' literally.

Eric rubbed his eyes hard. Must be hallucinating. That's it. Can't believe that Sailor Moon would do that.

Ted stared at the scene in front of him, disbelief plainly written on his face. Wow. That was really good.

Stephen replayed the fight in his mind. That was fast. I could barely watch her finish that guy.

Quinn eyed the dust that used to be 'Jadeite' carried away by a breeze. He smirked. Serves him right. No one messes with Sailor Moon.

The person in mind stared at the faces each individual young man had and outright laughed.

The four young men got out of their reverie. They stared at the young superheroine laughing at them for what reasons they couldn't understand.

"WHAT?!"

Sailor Moon laughed harder. She held her stomach and tears were coming out of her eyes. The four young men stared at her as if she were nuts. Then Eric shrugged and raised his hands as if he was giving up as to the actions of the superheroine. "Oh, well."

They watched as Sailor Moon finally calmed down. She straightened up and smiled at them. Finally she spoke.

"Ted. Eric. Quinn. Stephen."

The four stared at her, surprised that she knew their names. Quinn opened his mouth but Sailor Moon interrupted him.

"Not now, Quinn." She looked around and finding the scene empty except for them. Satisfied that there would be no obstacles, she closed her eyes.

The four young men were puzzled. But before they could ask what she was doing, they were engulfed in white light. The five disappeared from sight.

---------------------------------------

The four young men and the superheroine appeared at a ruined palace in a planet that wasn't Earth, for that planet shone shinely in front of them.

Eric held his head. "Whoa. That was some trip." When his head had cleared, he looked around and his jaw dropped.

Ted saw his friend's look and was puzzled at first. But when he saw their surroundings, he too did the same thing.

Stephen and Quinn reacted the same way. Stephen's eyes quickly appraised the ruins, trying to figure out how it was possible that there was civilization before in this moon. Quinn stared at the stars, which shone much brighter in here than on Earth.

Sailor Moon grinned at their reaction. She debated of not telling them for a while so that she could savor the shocked expressions in their faces but she went against it.

"Four Warriors of Earth."

The four young men turned their gazes to the superheroine. Sailor Moon smiled and curtsied.

"Welcome to the Moon, the origin of the Silver Millenium."

Stephen grew thoughtful. "Silver Millenium?"

"Yes, it might sound familiar to you four because in fact, you all where there during that time one thousand years ago." She held up her hand to stop the burgeoning questions that the four young men wanted to ask. "Four Warriors of Earth, the questions will be answered once you regain your memories back."

Stephen was puzzled. "Memories? Memories of what?"

Sailor Moon smiled, a mysterious glint in her eyes. "All will soon be revealed, Prince of the South."

Now Stephen was amazed. "Prince of the South? You got to be kidding me."

Ted stared at Sailor Moon. "You're not kidding us, are you." It was more like a statement than a question.

Sailor Moon didn't say a word. Instead, she turned around and walked away. The four young men stared at each other for a moment. Silently they agreed to follow her. They scrambled after the superheroine.

The five young people walked through the ruined palace. The four young men kept staring around them, awe on their faces. They kept staring left and right, trying not to miss a thing. It was Ted who first saw where they were headed and he stopped walking. The other three young men turned to see what held their friend's gaze and they too stopped. There stood a building, apparently not ruined since it stood proudly in front of them. Double doors stood prominently closed, symbols of a crescent moon surrounding its framework. Sailor Moon went up to it and the doors opened as if by magic in front of her. Without looking back, the superheroine went inside. The four young men, after the shock wore down, followed suit. There they were greeted by a beautiful room, in the middle of it was a shard of crystal on the ground. Sailor Moon went up to it and stopped a few feet from it. She waited.

The four young men had stopped when they where a few feet inside the room. They didn't noticed the doors closing behind them. They were too busy looking around. After a while, their attention went to the superheroine.

Sailor Moon closed her eyes. A rumble was heard. The crystal shard began to rise upward until it stopped growing when it reached nearly twenty-five feet from the ground. Audible gasps could be heard from behind her. She didn't pay them a bit of attention. She went down on her knees and into a prayer position.

The four young men stared at the superheroine. They waited for her next move. It wasn't long before they found out.

Crystal of the Moon, Protector of the planet, please grant my request. With the Silver Crystal's help, let the Four Warriors of Earth remember.

A bright light erupted from the superheroine and the tall crystal. The four young men put up their arms to shield their nearly blinded eyes. As they closed them, poignant memories appeared in their minds. And they remembered.

When the light was gone, instead of four young men, stood the Four Warriors of Earth. They opened their eyes and saw that Sailor Moon was still kneeling.

Sailor Moon opened her eyes and got up from her position. She raised her head a little. Thank you, dear friend. Many thanks from your princess. She finally turned around to face them.

As Sailor Moon turned around, she changed. Instead of Sailor Moon, there stood the Moon Princess, Princess Serenity of the Silver Millenium.

The Four Warriors were at first shocked but recovered quickly. They all kneeled. The leader spoke.

"Princess-"

Princess Serenity cut him off. "No need, Prince of the North. Stand up."

The Four Warriors obeyed and stood up. Princess Serenity gazed at them and smiled. "Four Warriors, you've no reason to feel guilt and shame. All of you had put on great resistance for what the Dark Kingdom had done to you. I commend you all for your strength in resisting the Dark Kingdom. You've remained true to your Prince and to yourselves."

"But we couldn't stop 'them' from killing the people and destroying the Silver Millenium." The auburn-haired warrior stared at the princess that their prince loved so well.

Princess Serena smiled sadly. "No one could, Prince of the West. The destruction of the Silver Millenium was meant to be. It couldn't have been prevented."

"Princess, why had we been awakened?" The Prince of the North stared at the Moon Princess, a question in his eyes.

The Moon Princess read the question and answered in kind. "Reincarnations of the Four Warriors, you've have led a normal life, never knowing about your past. But even if you stayed oblivious, you've still have an empty part of your soul that couldn't be filled. I've come to awaken and lead you to find that missing part of your soul. Don't you feel, when all of you were normal, a missing part of your soul, like your life isn't complete because of it?"

The Four Warriors nodded. They weren't surprised that the Moon Princess knew what they were feeling.

Princess Serenity straightened up and put on her regal pose.

"Four Warriors, kneel down."

The Four Warriors did as the princess commanded. Princess Serenity went to the silver-haired man first. A sword appeared and the Moon Princess took it.

"Do you, Prince Ted of the North, swear under alligiance to Prince Endymion of the Golden Kingdom?"

"I do."

"And will you protect Princess Serenity of the Silver Millenium, as you would your Prince?"

"I'll protect and swear my alligiance to the Moon Princess."

"Then stand and accept the warrior name of Kunzite once again, Prince of the North. Become the leader of the Four Warriors, the High General of Earth, throughout time." Princess Serena did the ritual and Kunzite, the leader of the Four Warriors, or more formally High General of Earth, stood up.

Princess Serenity moved down the line and stopped in front of the short-haired man.

"Do you, Prince Eric of the East, swear under allegiance to protect Prince Endymion of the Golden Kingdom?"

"I do."

"And protect Princess Serenity of the Silver Millenium, as you would your Prince?"

"I'll protect and swear my allegiance to the Moon Princess."

"Then stand and accept the warrior name of Jadeite once again, Prince of the East. Become the second-in-command of the Four Warriors, and as a General of Earth, throughout time." Princess Serenity did the same ritual and Jadeite, second-in-command of the Four Warriors, a General of Earth, stood up.

Princess Serenity went to the next man, which was the auburn-haired man.

"Do you, Prince Quinn of the West, swear allegiance to Prince Endymion of the Golden Kingodm?"

"I do."

"And will you protect Princess Serenity of the Silver Millenium, as you would your Prince?"

"I'll protect and swear my allegiance to the Moon Princess."

"Then stand and accept the warrior name of Nephlite once again, Prince of the West. Become the third-in-command of the Four Warriors, a General of Earth, throughout time." Princess Serenity did the ritual and Nephlite, third-in-command of the Four Warriors, a General of Earth, stood up.

Princess Serenity went up to the last man.

"Do you, Prince Stephen of the South, swear under allegiance to Prince Endymion of the Golden Kingdom?"

"I do."

"And will you protect Princess Serenity of the Silver Millenium, as you would your Prince?"

"I'll protect and swear my allegiance to the Moon Princess."

"Then stand and accept the warrior name of Zoicite once again, Prince of the South. Become the last of the Four Warriors, the last General of Earth, throughout time." Princess Serentiy did the ritual one last time and Zoicite, the last of the Four Warriors, the last General of Earth, stood up.

The sword disappeared and the Moon Princess smiled at the Four Warriors. "Welcome back, Four Warriors."

Jadeite smiled at the Moon Princess. "It's good to be back, Princess."

Princess Serenity held up her hand. "I must warn you, Four Warriors, that what took place today must take place again by Endymion. I had safeguarded you by putting you at my side but the ritual must be done by Endymion himself to be complete."

Kunzite nodded his head. "We understand, Princess. When we find him, we'll gladly do this again."

Princess Serenity gave them a beaming smile. She had disposed off the regal pose and now acted like her age, though she still held herself like a princess she is. With a sweeping gesture, she held out her hands. "Four Warriors, I have a favor to ask of you."

This got the Four generals' attention. "What do you ask of us, Princess?" asked Nephlite.

From her hands, a sphere of light began to form. The Four Warriors gathere around and stared at it. Inside the sphere, images began to form. Four men appeared, their silver and white apparel proclaiming their allegiance to the moon. The Four Warriors stared at the men, recognition showing on their faces.

Kunzite stared at the purplish-haired man, whose bluish-purplish eyes spoke the same kind of character like himself, said, "Ninx."

Jadeite stared at the light bluish-haired man standing right next to Ninx. "Lode."

Nephlite stared at the man whose hair was the deepest greenish-black he had ever seen and stoic demeanor, who was standing a little bit apart. "Garnet."

Zoicite stared at the dark-haired man, who was the youngest of the men. "Cerulean."

Together the Four Warriors said in unison, "The Generals of the Moon."

Princess Serenity nodded her head. "Xavier." The image of Depthere. "Drake." The young brunette. "Eagle." The image of the serene-looking man. "And Craig." The first man, who was the leader. "The Moon Generals Ninx, Lode, Cerulean, and Garnet."

The Four Warriors looked up at the Moon Princess.

"What do you want us to do, Princess?"

Princess Serenity gazed at the four generals. "Help me find them."

"You mean that they also got reincarnated?"

Princess Serenity nodded her head. "All of us, except for Queen Serenity, were sent to Earth." Her sad eyes told the whole story of the queen's tragic end to the four generals.

The Four Warriors were silent. Then Kunzite spoke up. "How do we find them?"

"I had already began to search for them. I know that Xavier was put into a deep sleep in a dimension that is suspended in the time dimension. Don't worry about him. We can get him last."

"As for the other three?"

"The others are somewhere in Japan. I can't pinpoint where they are, but I think that Craig and Eagle are maybe out of the country since they are famous."

Nephlite was piqued. "How so?"

"Craig is a famous racer and Eagle is a famous violinist."

"Just like the Princess of Neptune."

Princess Serenity looked at Jadeite. "She's also a famous violinist."

That tidbit hadn't had time to be digested by the four generals since Princess Serenity continued on. "Until we find them, I can't continue with my quest."

This held the generals' attention. "Quest?" asked Zoicite.

"Yes, quest. My quest to find the Four Warriors and the Moon Generals and unite them with the others."

Nephlite was piqued. "Princess, how did this 'quest' come about?"

Princess Serenity smiled mysteriously. "That I cannot say. All I can tell you is that a very important person asked me to do this quest and I accepted."

This news was something that held the four generals' interests but refrained to ask since they could tell she won't tell them who it was.

"Well, then. When do we start?"

Princess Serenity smiled. "As soon as possible." Then she grew serious. "Four Warriors of Earth, we better go back. Even as we stand here, a few hours had already elapsed. If you don't want your families to worry, we should go now."

The Four Warriors agreed.

"I don't want Grandma to worry over me. She'll make me go upstairs without dinner."

The others chuckled.

Princess Serenity sighed and hid her smile from the men. "Eric, you are too fond of your Grandma's cooking." She turned around and walked out of the room.

The Four Warriors looked at each other, wondering how she had known about Eric's grandmother. They followed her out of the room and down the path toward the ruined palace, the capital of the long-ago era of the Silver Millenium. Without stopping, they arrived to a room that once was the transportation room. Princess Serenity went up to the controls of one transport pod and began to turn it on.

The Four Warriors stared curiously at what the princess was doing. Zoicite was doubtful it could still work, after the war nearly a thousand years ago had destroyed the kingdom. To the four generals' surprise, the transport pod lighted up.

Zoicite was amazed. "How did-?"

"Silver Millenium technology is very advanced. It wouldn't work because one thousand years had passed but since I'm the Moon Princess and I have the Imperial Silver Crystal, the transport pod works. Of course, being the creator of this one is also an added bonus."

Zoicite was shocked. "You created this transport pod?"

"Yes. This pod is the one that I used to go to Earth. None of the others can travel to Earth except for this one. I added that special fixture myself."

Nephlite grinned and shook his head bemusedly. "You've always been curious about a lot of things."

Princess Serenity grinned. "Yeah, and I still do. I'd tinkered with this one because it is in the farthest from the others. And it was hardly used."

"Ah, I see."

The Four Warriors gave each other a speaking glance. Princess Serenity turned around to face them and caught the looks. She put her hands on her hips. "What are you guys thinking?" she demanded.

The Four Warriors looked at her guiltily. "Nothing."

Princess Serenity stared at them for a moment and then sighed. She turned back to the transport pod. "Well, we better go. Can't keep them waiting, you know."

The five young people stepped up to the transport pod. Princess Serenity stood near the front, since she was the only one who knew how to work the pod. Without preamble, she pressed a button and they disappeared among a flash of light.

-----------------------------------

The Earth Generals and the Moon Princess appeared right back at the scene where Sailor Moon had fought the Dark General 'Jadeite.' No remnants of the Negaverse monsters were left, and the alley was quiet.

Princess Serenity turned to the Earth Generals and smiled.

"We've been gone for two hours. I think you four should go home now. Your families must be worried about you." She looked at the sky. "I think that if all of you ran, you won't miss dinner." She turned her glance to the short-haired blonde boy. "And Eric, you won't get to miss your Grandma's cooking."

Jadeite scowled as the other generals laughed. Nephlite patted him on the shoulder, his own shoulders shaking from his friend's predicament. "She got you there, buddy."

After the laughter calmed down, the five stared at each other. It was Kunzite who broke the silence. He stared at the general's uniform he was wearing.

"Well, I suggest we transform back. I don't think our families would understand our alter ego."

The other Earth generals agreed. The four young men returned back to their normal attire. It was Stephen who saw that Princess Serenity was still in her royal assemble.

"Princess, aren't you going to transform?"

Princess Serenity smiled impishly. "As a matter of fact, I will."

In a flash of light, Princess Serenity turned back to Bunny.

The four boys were shocked.

"Bunny?!"

Bunny giggled. "Of course, silly. Who else would have this unique hairstyle but me?" She gestured to the two balls with streamers flowing from it atop her head.

Ted shook his head. "I should have guessed."

"True, you could have. But no one, not even you, would have known who I was since magic keeps people from recognizing me. And the same goes to all of you."

Bunny looked at her watch and frowned. "If all of you wouldn't mind, I think we better go. It's past 6:30 already."

"Oh, God. Grandma would kill me now. Bye guys. See you tomorrow." With that, Eric ran toward home.

Ted sighed. "I better go, too. Mom and Dad are probably worried right about now." He turned to the others. "See ya."

The others followed suit. Bunny waved goodbye to Stephen, who was the last one to go. She stared after them and then turned her gaze to the darkening sky. The Earth Generals are back, Darien. Soon, I'll find the others. Then we'll be reunited again.
