Hey people, first fanfic (Sailor Moon - Gundam x-over) so don't judge too harshly. Oh the usual disclaimers apply (I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing) so don't sue me.
Prologue
I watch the sun set on the horizon. I knew it was beginning to get cold…but I do not feel it anymore. I cannot feel anything anymore. No more tears came, I'm drained dry. I was not always like this. Four hours ago I was a happy person … with a life, now I'm not so sure.
My name is Serena Usagi Serenity Tsukino and I'm sixteen. I was formally Sailor Moon, leader of the Sailor Scouts and Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom. I trusted my friends … they betrayed me … simple as that. They wanted the future queen of Crystal Tokyo to be someone like Mina who was proud, determined, strong, beautiful and smart, at least smarter than I was. It turned out that Mina was my adopted sister during the Silver Millennium and therefore was royalty. They also wanted the Sailor Scouts to have someone strong like Rei for their leader. I was voted off the team, they said I was klutzy, always late and had absolute zero knowledge in battling youmas. I took it calmly, trying to be brave but inside I was crying.
Darien was a traitor too, he lied to me. I thought he loved me, but it seemed that he was only after power. When he heard my so called friends nominate Mina to be the Queen of Crystal Tokyo, he immediately broke it off with me and tried his luck with Mina. I wasn't shocked that Mina chucked a party, I knew she had a crush on my now ex-boyfriend for a long time.
They were all traitors, even Luna and Artemis – the fir-balls agreed to everything my so called friends said. I so wish I could just disappear from the face of this stupid planet, to go somewhere where I would be appreciated.
(Another Dimension - Dungeon – a cold, dark place with slimy walls)
Blood…
so much blood…
the colour of a red red rose…
drip…
drip…
drip…
drip…
drip…
He stayed hidden, silently, in the shadows…watching…only a pair of cold Prussian-blue eyes stood out.
"Uh… maybe we should turn back…. I can feel his eyes," said an uneasy guard who shivered, to his colleague.
"Don't be stupid, we have that son of a bitch locked up. There's no way he could have escaped."
"I don't know. I've heard stories about him…."
"That son of a bitch thought he was so tough, but we showed him!"
- thump -
"What was that?" asked the first guard.
"I don't know, your imagination?" laughed the second guard.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"Okay, now I definitely heard that," said the second guard, "this way."
"Maybe we should leave. This place is starting to creep me out."
But the walked on anyway. They entered a room with no lights and the stench hit them. Then the first guard stepped on something round and squishy.
"Could we have some light, please."
He found the bloodless head of a colleague staring back at him with fear in his dead eyes. His brains were all over the floor. There was so much blood. The first guard gulped. Not far away was the decapitated body missing all it's limbs. They followed the trail of blood and dead matter to a dead-end. There was no light. It had suddenly went out. But still they saw something that scared them witless.
A pair of cold Prussian-blue eyes stared out of the darkness….
Then all that could be heard was screaming….
(SM Dimension)
"Serenity. Serenity, wake up."
"What?"
"Oh my daughter, it's been so long."
"Queen Serenity?! Is this a dream?"
"Yes and no. You see, you are here to receive new powers and are here for me to grant you your wish."
"My wish?"
"To be somewhere where you'll be appreciated."
"That's right."
"I grant you the powers of the Dreamer. I grant you mastery over dreams. It is a very powerful weapon and should not be taken lightly. The princess in you is emerging and you will become more and more powerful. You need not a transformation mechanism, all you have to do is will yourself to be Dreamer. Go ahead, daughter, try."
"Right."
Serena closed her eyes. Her crescent moon glowed and a light surrounded her. Her hair turned silver and she was dressed in a uniform similar to the sailor scouts'. Her miniskirt was silver with pale silvery-blue linings and she wore knee-length silver boots. Her bow was the same colour as the linings on her miniskirt and had a center consisting of a crystal crescent moon underneath a eight-pointed crystal star. Her choker was the same colour as her bow and had the crescent moon on it. She no longer wore a tiara and her moon symbol glowed brightly on her head. Two transparent fairy wings fluttered at her back and she was holding a glaive like Pluto's in white gloved hands. The crystal glaive had the Silver Crystal on it and it was shaped into a heart with wings.
"This…this is incredible."
The queen smiled.
"You will learn new attacks when the need arises. Now I have to send you away."
"Where will you send me mother? Why this all of the sudden? What is wrong mother?"
"I'm sending you to a place where a savior is desperately needed. It is Earth in an alternate universe. A tyrannical organization, OZ, rule that Earth and has reduced its inhabitants to slaves. Half of that Earth's population are human but the other half…I cannot say. The leader, Treize Khushrenada, is a cruel, heartless person, and I dare say, not even human. He is a cross between a vampire and a mage and is very powerful.
I fear that if he got anymore powerful, he would eventually come into this dimension and take over. He has ways of crossing dimensions but rebels block his path. You must help these rebels and destroy the leader of OZ.
I have to admit, I did not grant you the status of Dreamer for no reason. Treize is strong, stronger than all your enemies you have battled in the pass.
Blood of my blood, heed my warning, the Web of Dreams that you will spin is not to be taken lightly. If you use this power foolishly, it will turn on you and the damage is permanent."
"…mother…."
"Listen, Serenity, I'll always be there to help you. On the night of every full moon, we will talk through our dreams. There are five people there who will protect you there. Five you can trust. They will not seem much like protectors at first but do not judge them so harshly. They have led a hard life and are not what they seem. Remember my words, daughter and good luck. We will talk again."
"Goodbye mother."
With a wave of the queen's hand, Serena disappeared.
