The Key

Star Senshi : Neo

By: Nuriko Yumemiru

This is my first attempt at a Sailor Moon. I have only watched to the 5 Sailor Moon SuperS episode, so don't bug me about any mistakes I make.

            Chapter 1: The Last Challenge

A Week After the Defeat of Galaxia…

            "Artemis, I don't think we could expect them to lead their lives as it is," argued Luna. Usually, cats can't talk, but Luna was no ordinary cat along with her mate, Artemis and her daughter-from-the-future, Diana, she had the ability to talk. Unlike most cat's she understood the human language and had a very rare birthmark on her head that only three other cats had. The birthmark was a golden patch of fur in the shape of the crescent moon. She stared at Artemis another cat that had the birthmark, the ability to talk and commune with humans and like Luna a Guardian of the Senshi.

            "Luna, I don't think we have a choice, they want to have their memories. Now, I know it would be better if the led their lives normally without special "abilities" or any knowledge that they had saved the Universe a couple of times. But…what can we do? They don't want to lose their memories and besides, what are we gonna do? We can't do the Luna Mind Meld…you already used it and it can only be used once for every Guardian. Now, I haven't used it yet, but like I said, I don't believe in making people lose their memories and you can ask Diana, but she's -,"

            "-too young." finished Diana with a sigh. "I can never do anything with you around." The young little cat had come from the future too guard Rini the young Senshi Princess of the Crystal Moon Kingdom

            "Besides," Artemis said with a grim smile, "The Senshi may need their memories. They have one more test until Serena can take her place as Neo-Queen Serenity, ruler of the Crystal Millennium."

            "One more?" Luna asked curiously. "I thought they finished the challenges, when the released Galaxia from her evil self?"

            "What challenges?" asked Diana. Unlike the two older cats, she only knew two things, protect Rini and listen to her parents.

            "Diana, would you mind if me and Artemis could talk in private? You should go and take Rini out to the park. Okay?" answered Luna.

            "Okay, that's a great idea…but…. what if there are dogs?" asked Diana a little scared.

            "Then just hide behind Luna Pi," answered Artemis.

            The two older cats watched as their daughter-from-the-future left the room.

            "So, the Last Challenge eh?" Luna said after they could no longer hear the soft thud of Diana's feet.

            Artemis stared at her, a depressing look on his face. Luna and Artemis looked at each other and silently, Luna walked out the door with Artemis trailing behind her.
