Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon. I am a high school senior who will be
going to college, which means I have no money, so don't sue me! Also, if
you have a problem with either Usagi or Mamoru being paired with
someone else, this fic will not work for you. This fic is rated R for a reason,
so no flames about that. Please review! ;D
Chapter 1 – A Senshi Falls, Another Appears
"Setsuna, can you hear me", asked a velvety female voice. Setsuna turned around, but saw no one in the pitch black abyss that surrounded her. "Setsuna, I have a warning for you", the voice continued.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Setsuna asked franticly.
"I have contacted you because I must," the voice mused.
Setsuna looked around, still searching for the woman questioning her.
"Who are you," she asked, worried. She turned around quickly, desperately trying to find the woman talking to her.
"That will be revealed in time. I have come to warn you. You will face enemies
unlike any you have ever seen. Unfortunately, Sailor Moon is no match for
these creatures, but fear not. Another will appear."
The voice began to fade and Setsuna ran through the darkness.
"No," she screamed, "Don't go! Tell me who you are! Please!"
She suddenly felt a warm sensation that tantalized her senses. The sensation turned into pain and she felt herself hurling towards something and slamming into it with great force.
Setsuna woke up in a cold sweat, not knowing where she was. Her breathing slowed as a wind blew through her window.
"What does this mean? It was so vivid, so real…more than a mere dream," she thought to herself.
Setsuna sat up in her bed, her thoughts enveloped, concentrating on
the dream. Was it a warning? Was it something she ate? She could not
determine. Clad in a dark red nightgown, she made her way to the kitchen toget some water. As the water fell into the glass, she thought more and more.
"Whom should I tell…Haruka? Michiru?" She paused. "Mamoru?"
*l*l*l*
"Mamo-chan, do you love me?" Usagi asked, balled up next to Mamoru under fine silk sheets.
"Of course I do, you are the only one for me," he replied, kissing her on the forehead. She closed her eyes as his lips grazed her cheek.
Softly, she muttered, "Will we be together forever?" Surprised, Mamoru sat up slightly and looked down at her.
"Usako…what's wrong with you? Why do you ask me such things?"
Usagi looked into Mamoru's eyes, wanting to cry. "Mamo-chan, I just like to hear you say it sometimes."
He gently kissed her forehead again and continued to ease her unrest.
"Don't I say it enough," he began to smirk, "Don't I show it well,
too?"
Letting a sly smile run across her face, she replied, "Yes, you do. Just
hold me, sweetie."
They looked at the ceiling and began to doze off. Mamoru listened to the sounds of busy Tokyo as Usagi quietly dreamed.
"I will love you forever, so don't worry" He grazed his lips over hers and she
opened her eyes. It took only a split second for her to return his kiss, for she
felt what he wanted, literally.
The next morning, Usagi woke up and rolled over in the bed to find
that Mamoru was not there. She abruptly raised herself, holding the sheets
up to her chest.
"Mamo-chan," she whispered. She heard nothing. She hopped out of bed, desperate to find him. "Mamo-chan, where are you!"
She looked all over the well kept house, from the living room, the kitchen and
finally back into the bedroom. She slowly sat down on the bed in anguish,
holding back tears. Suddenly, she heard the door open and she ran into the
living room.
"Mamo-chan! Where in the hell where you," she exclaimed, jumping into his arms. Startled, he embraced her, noting her current state of undress.
"Sweetie, you're naked, put on something before you catch your death."
She quickly pulled away, as if she was hurt by his concern. "I don't care about that, where were you!"
"I was out."
"Where?"
"At someone's house."
The pause was long and painful. Mamoru walked over to the couch,
grabbed a small blanket and wrapped it around Usagi. She looked at him
with hateful, yet concerned eyes and spat.
Quickly, she snapped, "And why were you there, instead of in my arms?"
His eyes searched the floor. "She said it was important." Usagi's expression changed.
She now felt something was terribly wrong. "What is it Mamo-chan? What is it?"
He sat her down on the couch, and placed himself next to her. He held her hand, then looked into her bright, blue eyes.
"She had a dream, a very weird dream," he said after taking in a deep breath.
Sharply, she replied, "And?"
"Well, there was a voice, a deep rich voice she said. The voice said that
there was a dangerous foe coming, unlike any before."
Usagi looked puzzled. She wasn't sure where he was going with this.
She got up and walked over to the coffee machine and began preparing it
for use.
"Something is out to get us, Usagi," he said with certainty. She
stopped and turned to him.
"Listen to me, Mamoru, whatever it is, I'm sure I
can handle—"
"But she said the voice said that you would not be able to handle it, and what
if the voice is right, what are we to do?"
"Oh, so now we're taking orders from a voice in someone's head!"
Mamoru walked over to her and abruptly pulled her so close to him
their noses touched. Shocked by his force, she did not move.
"It's not just somebody, it's Setsuna."
*l*l*l*
Setsuna walked down the streets of Juuban. The busy atmosphere
seemed to pass her by. She was far away in deep thought, nearly lost in it.
Somehow, she noticed a "Don't Walk" sign and halted. The wind whipped
her hair across her face and her thoughts concentrated.
"What will happen? We must defeat this new foe. If not, then God help us all."
The sign turned to "Walk" and she continued across the street, now a little more aware of her environment.
"There is a strong force here. This may be the day…"
Suddenly, screams were heard from about a block away. Setsuna gave chase
and immediately scoped the scene. There was something moving under-
ground, and as soon as she caught her breath, a creature leapt out of the
ground and onto a helpless young child. Without delay, she transformed.
Eternal Pluto, Transform!
She quickly ran over to the child, but as soon as she got in range for an
attack, the creature let off an incredible beam of energy that sent Eternal
Sailor Pluto clear across the street, into a brick wall. The force of the blow
nearly blew the wall apart. The demon-looking creature then turned to its
next victim and Pluto reached for her communicator.
"Soldiers, you are needed at the edge of Juuban, near the old coffee shop. Be prepared, these creatures are ungodly." She lowered her wrist and fell unconscious.
Eternal Mars, Transform!
Eternal Mercury, Transform!
Eternal Jupiter, Transform!
Eternal Venus, Transform!
Eternal Saturn, Transform!
Eternal Uranus, Transform!
Eternal Neptune, Transform!
Within seconds, the seven soldiers were ready for battle. Sailor Saturn
spotted Pluto and ran to her aide.
"My God, what could have done this!"
Uranus caught a glimpse of the Demon and instinctively took her fighting
stance. "Wrong choice of words, Saturn…very wrong."
Mars looked around as more Demons popped up from underground.
"Where the hell is Sailor Moon?", she snapped.
"Someone contact her pronto," Jupiter said, more as an order than a request. Before anyone could raise their wrists…
Eternal Moon Deadly Attack!
The Demons fell to the ground and melted back into the earth. After
all seemed clear everyone ran over to Pluto, who was slowly awakening.
"Sailor Pluto, can you hear me", Eternal Sailor Moon asked.
Pluto opened her eyes and turned her face to Sailor Moon. She moved her lips to speak, but yelled out in pain. Sailor Moon held her tightly and began to cry.
"Pluto…Setsuna, please, be OK. We all need you."
Sailor Pluto looked up at Sailor Moon with sad, tear-filled eyes. A chilled wind
blew which moved Pluto's hair in her face once more. She smiled as Sailor
Moon gently brushed the dark green strands out of the way.
"Sailor Moon, I might never feel the wind again, or the sun against my face. I may never see your concerning eyes ever again, so I must say this now: Usagi, these
Demons are here to kill you. Don't let that happen. Don't let them take
anymore Soldiers away, this battle will be tragic, but you must survive. You
must surv…" And then, there was silence.
Sailor Moon closed the eyes of the fallen Soldier just as Tuxedo Kamen entered the scene. He froze at the sight of Setsuna, her Sailor costume dissipating into flowing dark red ribbons.
"Sailor Pluto is dead." announced Sailor Moon," And if we don't figure out what the hell is going on soon, we will be too."
