********************
Princess Serenity opened her eyes, looking at the scene of
Earth. It was still beautiful after all these centuries.
She looked around her surroundings and down at herself.
(I've become younger...about eighteen years old now.)Serenity
said to herself as she got up.
Princess Serenity glimpsed at her Crystal and then a beam shot out
and onto the grounds of the moon.
"Mother..."Princess Serenity softly whispered.
Queen Serenity was shimmering in front of her in her transparent
vision and gazed at her with sadness.
"I am sorry that this has happened to you, my daughter. But now
you must start a new life. Try and be happy,"Queen Serenity said
to her before it shimmered away and died out.
"Wait...mother! Please...don't go just yet..mother,"Princess Serenity
cried out as she stretched her hand to the now vanished spot of where
her mother was just awhile ago.
She remembered what Queen Serenity said and appeared forlorn.
(How can I be happy and just pick up my life like this. I've lost
practically everything.)Princess Serenity went over her mind.
But then remembered something else...
~.~.~A Short Flashback ~.~.~

"Beloved, live and do what you have to do. Protect the world; it's
your destiny but please be happy, for me...for all of us,"said
Endymion, "promise me?"
"..I promise, my love,"I promised.
"I love you, always and forever for all of eternity,"he said and
closed his eyes.

~.~.~.~.End Short Flashback ~.~.~
Princess Serenity remembered her promise and recalled what her
mother told her.
"I'll try and keep that promise...for you, both of you,"Princess
Serenity whispered into the air.
Then Princess Serenity raised her Crystal into the air and whispered
incoherent words and vanished from the moon. Soon she was in the
streets of Tokyo where no one noticed her but just blended in; her
gown gone and replaced with regular street clothes of dark blue jeans
and a white shirt. She was now Serena Tsukino.
She surveyed the area; seeing people building or shopping.
(They are working so hard to make the place what they had once before.
Trying to start over...just like I'm trying to do.)Serena said in her
mind.
Then Serena went off into the streets and went to look around some
more. That was when she arrived and saw more areas being replaced.
And got an idea in her head.
At once she Serena set off and into the crowded streets of Tokyo.

Months have passed and soon Serena was getting used to her newfound
life. Helping these people build a new life and a new world where
they could live regularly without great chaos. Serena rarely smiled
however and her eyes never did return back to those innocent, care-free
blue eyes of hers. She smiled now and then and you could almost
see those innocence and when others saw it they would always feel better
and have new found strength.
Serena helped all around with building and repairing the streets and
other areas. Her mind was constantly occupied with what was going on
and it helped her escape from her past. She made small friends but rarely
conversed with them, knowing fully well that if she got too close with
anyone it would only end with her alone in the world again.
One day, Serena was walking back towards the streets and her feet
ended up with her in front of the library.
~.~.~Flashback~.~.~
Ami alone in the library and reading several books piled next to her.
Serena coming in and seeing her there and she smiled as she thought of
something.
"Come on Ami, you can't live your life like this. Can you?"Serena
coaxed as she came beside her.
"I really should study, Serena,"Ami protested.
"Oh Ami...you need to live a little and see the world outside instead
of from books. You can't base your life with books all the time.
Please Ami?"Serena pleaded.
Ami smiled and put down her book.
"Alright Serena.."Ami nodded.
"Great! Let's go!"Serena exclaimed and dragged Ami out the door.
~.~.~End of Flashback~.~.~
"Ami..."Serena smiled softly as her eyes softened and then she
walked up the steps of the library and went in.
She discerned all the wonderful books that the people have managed
to save from so long ago. It has been centuries since that downfall
and has caused the lost of various things including some of the
new technology that Ami managed to make.
Serena went to the book section and scanned all the non-fiction
books and references. She stopped as she observed the Encyclopedia
and the Great Works of Science. Then walked on and then stood there
a moment as she tried to make up her mind.
(I may as well lose myself to something, Ami once said that you
could lose yourself from reality by reading books. I may as well
try it for once.) thought Serena and then went and started reading.
Hours passed and then finally as Serena rose from her seat with
books piled so high, she noticed that it was almost closing time and
decided to go home.
Ever since then, Serena came back and filled her mind with knowledge
of what was going on and noticed that her time when she ruled over
the world was marked into the history books and said to be the greatest
empire ever in the history. She smiled at that when she read over it.
Ami was there as well as the Sailor Scouts and was said to be a
great scientist on what she has invented and made throughout the
centuries.
As the time passed it turned to years and Serena buried herself with
books, repairing, and mechanics. Then she came to a time when she decided to
study more things to keep herself occupied since she was getting bored with
reading so much.
Walking down the streets, Serena came upon a martial arts studio and
applied herself there. For years she studied and soon mastered it and
went off to music and art as well as other forms of techniques of self
defence and combat skills. Finally she came to acrobatics but once
done she didn't know what else to do to pass time. She was still in
fixing things and other forms of mechanics but it wasn't enough to keep her
occupied. Then she decided with all the money she saved up throughout
the years she was paid for her services, she bought a computer. Ami taught
her some tricks and decided to start trying to hack into other PCs to
help pass time but soon she wasn't interested as she became
fully experienced. It was not even a challenge anymore to her.
One day, Serena was lost in her thoughts of what else to do in her life
since she managed to master so many things and was filled with knowledge
of what has been going throughout the years. She was standing near the side
of a building and noticed a shadow. Serena looked up and her eyes widened
and a small gasp came out of her mouth. The roof of the building
then came crashing down on her and everything went dark.
****************
Hundreds of years passed and in the deep forest of Tokyo a crystal
appeared out of thin air. A deep pink glow shined and cast itself in front
of the jewel. A small child appeared of 10 years came; her eyes closed
and held the crystal in the palm of her hands.
After the bright glow died out; she opened her eyes.
"I'm back...but this time as a ten year old,"Serena stated.
A portal popped up in front of her and Serena looked up at it.
Sailor Pluto stepped out of the portal with her Time Key in hand. She
appeared just as she has remembered her.
"Princess...your time has come. This is what is called as A.C. 192
and I think I should start guiding you if you choose to accept what
is about to come,"Pluto started as she looked at her princess.
"What do you mean about to come?"Serena asked as she gazed up at
the Guardian of Time.
"There is a war that will begin soon. A war over Earth and the
Colonies. You must help protect both sides; they
are your people and it is your job to do so,"Pluto answered.
"Of course I'll help. What is it that I have to do?"Serena asked.
"You will be trained to kill. Yes, kill. It is the only way
but without your magic. You have already studied other materials over
martial arts and other combat skills. You have mastered so many
techniques but now we should focus on your instincts when it comes to
killing. It is a hard job to do but it is the only way. I have managed
to get out of my job with the Time Gate for the time being to help you on how
to shoot and care for the gun and demolition devices. Later
on I'll tell you what else that you'll need to do,"Pluto informed her.
Serena nodded in understanding and then Pluto held out her hand for
Serena and she took it. Together they set off into a new portal that
Pluto casted and they were transported to a dark room.
"Where are we?"Serena asked.
"We're in a base. This is where you'll be trained for the next
several years,"Pluto explained.

Soon they began and after several months, Serena dominated over the skills she
had been taught. Pluto was impressed with Serena's progress and ability
to learn so quickly.
"Very good, Serena. But now you'll be going into more intense
training,"Setsuna told her.
Pluto transformed into Setsuna or as Setsuna told her to call her as Dr.M
or Dr. Meiou. In private she may be addressed as Setsuna, Sets, or even
Pluto or Puu but that was all in private.
"Bring it on Puu! I'm ready,"the ten year old called to her.
Setsuna smiled at her princess's determination and will as she started up
the training and made it stronger.

A twelve year old Serena walked around the room and toward her guardian,
Setsuna. Setsuna was looking at a computer and was typing into it and
clicked Send.
"What's going on Sets?"Serena asked.
"Your new lesson will start after today, do you think you're ready?"Setsuna
asked.
"Sure am..."Serena smiled softly with a glint in her eyes.
"Good...this one you'll be going into a type of simulator to test your
capabilities. You have mastered practically everything. I've watched
you during your stay in A.C. 001 and the small years after that. You
have done very well. You will begin your training as a Gundam Pilot as
06. There are others beside you, five others. Five other scientists
have been working on Gundams that are made out of a strong material
called Gundamium aloid, that's how it got its name. Now then, you
better go and keep yourself occupied till the next day, Princess,"Setsuna
told her.
"You don't have to call me Princess, Puu. I'm not a princess
anymore, remember?"Serena told her.
"You are in my eyes. You'll always be the true princess,"Setsuna said
with a small smile.
Serena's eyes glinted with those innocence as she smiled a true smile
at her guardian before turning away and covering up her mask once again
as she walked away.

The very next day, Serena woke up to get ready for her new training.
Serena was actually excited about what she would be doing in
that simulator. Setsuna was waiting by the door as Serena
finally got ready and then they drove off. After several hours they
arrived at another base deep in the forest.
Serena wasn't surprised at all when they stopped at the base. She
was used to this type of stuff by now.
Together they walked toward the door, punched some codes in, and entered
the door where there was silence and darkness.
Setsuna led the way or by now was called Dr. M. After awhile they
arrived at a door and she opened it. Dr. M stepped through followed
by Serena. Serena's face appeared serious and her eyes held a cold, distant
manner in them.
There was a type of machine in the corner of the room and five other
scientists with some mechanics going around and other workers of the team.
"Ahh...Dr. M you've arrived and I trust this is the sixth soon to be
pilot?"a scientist greeted.
"Yes, she is Dr. J,"Dr. M nodded.
"A girl! Well, that's a new surprise,"another doctor exclaimed.
"It doesn't matter Dr. O that it is a girl,"Dr. J said.
"As long as there is another one in our team is good
enough,"another doctor said with a nod.
"Yes, I agree with you Dr. H,"another scientist said.
"I too agree... just as long as we get this over with,"another scientist said.
"Thank you Dr. G and Dr. S,"Dr. H nodded as they each said this.
"Well let's get her up there and check her statistics,"Dr. O said.
Dr. M nodded and went toward Serena.
"Well Serena get on but first they'll need to hook you up
to it. Do your best, and you'll be just fine,"Dr. M informed her.
Serena nodded in silence and walked up to the machine or simulator
as it was called. At once mechanics started going around her and started
to stick things into her, with wires and patches. Then she was put to the
top and Serena sat down.
Serena observed the place and didn't exactly know what to do but
thought back to the games she used to play in her early days and grabbed
the control stick. There were buttons on there and a screen in front of
her. Serena focused her mind onto the screen and grabbed the controller
with a firm and easy grip.
At once they shouted something and then the place started to hum with
life. Dots appeared on the screen at once and Serena moved her stick
around and pressed the button on it. It was simple and easy and
then more came and soon doubled and tripled and the dots were going
faster and faster with each hum. Serena moved it around and got
lost in her train of thought as she just moved automatically.
(This thing is so easy!)Serena said to herself and gave a small smirk.
More and more came and it became faster, Serena managed to maintain
herself and just beat the dots in the screens as she clicked and swerved
the control stick around.

In the bottom, outside the simulator the doctors/scientists were
checking Serena's stabilities of how she's doing in there.
"It doesn't seem that this is a challenge to her at all. It says
that she's moving quickly and easily and the brainwaves show that she
isn't even trying all that much,"Dr. G said outloud.
The other four men looked at him with a questioning gaze.
"How can that be?! We already put her in the top speed!"Dr. H exclaimed.
"How do you explain this, Dr. M?"Dr. J asked.
"Yes, she is only a child! A mere twelve year old!"Dr. O said.
"How can she learn this in such a short time?"Dr. S exclaimed.
"She has been under my care for some time and she picks things up
very quickly,"Dr. M answered.
They stared at her and knew that they wouldn't really get any other
type of answer but that. They each knew she kept to herself most of the
time and was quite a mysterious person but had vast amount of
knowledge that none of them could really compare with.
"We better get her out of there, she is a good pilot Dr. M you have
trained her well. She is like a great warrior,"Dr. O commended.
"Thank you,"Dr. M said.
Just then, Serena was coming down the hallway and toward the doctors
with an expressionless face.
"You've done well Serena. You will be introduced to your gundam now
but it isn't done yet but soon it will be after some time,"Dr. M
said.
Serena nodded and walked with her and the doctors to a railway.
Down there she saw a machine made of silver, blue, and white
with some black. There was a crescent mark on the forehead which Serena
noticed right away.
"This is called Arethusa,"Dr. M introduced to Serena.
Serena stared in wonder at the huge gundam and her eyes held
innocence and fascination, Dr. M smiled at the young girl in warm
affection.
"Arethusa? Isn't that after a nymph from the goddess Diana in the
myths?"Serena questioned.
"Yes, she is a follower of Diana and was part of Diana's hunting
train,"Dr. M answered.
Serena didn't say anything but continued to gaze at the remarkable
sight before her.
"Someday, you'll be in that machine,"Dr. M said.
"What's the profile of the gundam?"Serena asked.
"It has the ability of atmospheric flight with a type of wings attached
to it. Ability to move quickly that it could possibly be undetected by radar.
Two beam sabers, two 40mm Beam Cannons, a large shield, Homing
Missile Launcher, and a beam gatling gun." Dr. J answered her.
"Nice firepower and abilities,"Serena commented.
(Someday soon I'll be riding you Arethusa...just wait and see)Serena
said to herself as her eyes lighted up and a small smile appeared on
her face.

To be continued....
