Introductions to 'Judgment'

First off, I'd like to say thanks to my partner in crime Tennyo for all the hard work she's done on our Sailor Moon Fan Fiction Site, and I'd like to say Thanks to my overly-exhausted mind that's already fried itself and is down to it's last life.

Oh, and my AOL account's been canceled, so I now have no account, meaning no e-mail. Hopefully I can create a new account somewhere else, since I have no Internet Access, which I can say in the least, sucks.

Lastly, if anyone actually reads this, I send my deepest regrets. (But that's just cause I don't have access to the Internet.) Heh.okay enough with my blubbering, God Bless and Hope you enjoy this fic.

Chapter 1

Three girls sat in a secluded area of the plane that was ready to take off for America. The girl with two buns on top of her head with pigtails streaming down past her shoulders stared out the window, glanced at her watch, stared out the window, glanced at her watch, stared out the window, glanced at her watch. Repeatedly doing so for no apparent reason.

A flight attendant came up to the three with a cart filled with varieties of foods and drinks. The flight attendant came up to them with a tray filled with food and drinks. "I apologize for disturbing you, but would you care for something to eat or drink?"

"No thank you"

It was the same reply for all three, as they sat patiently, waiting for departure to a new place and a new home.

~Flashback~

Her birthday! Her sixteenth birthday was today. She was finally sixteen. For the past two years since everything happened, she was truly happy. Who wouldn't be? Cutest boyfriend off the face of the earth, improved grades, and she was no longer a schizophrenic, the princess in her was emerging. Now that she was 16, her coming of age, she was now mature enough to train and become in balance with the Silver Crystal. Life was good.

Walking down the streets of Tokyo, thinking of nothing but her coming of age, she barely missed three poles, two humans, a pothole, and an erect sidewalk. The fates must have had it in for her because they decided to let her give herself a bruise or two; she crashed head on, into a poor metal pole.

Or at least it felt like one. It sure hurt enough to feel like metal.

Rubbing her hurts with a scowling face, she eyed the thing she smashed into, ready to give whomever it was, a really bashing into.

Her eyes sparkled when she realized that recognized the form in front of her as Mamoru-san, or better known to her as her soul mate.

"Usagi-san, I-have to tell you something."

"Tell me what Mamo-chan?" she asked, hurt by the formality.

"Usagi.I think we should see other people. It's not working for me anymore." he replied with one breath, then briskly brushing past her and out of her life.

Usagi's eyes littered itself with tears of pain and torment. Slumping against the brick wall of Osa-P, she sobbed her fragile heart away.

Moments later, she stood up firmly and her eyes flashed bitterness to the world.

-Later on that night

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"Damn it! Tsukino Usagi wake your lazy little moon behind, up!!! We got a youma doing some serious destruction. It's sucking energy from innocents down at the park hurry! Mercury and Jupiter are down for the count with serious injuries!!"

Mars was ready to seriously kick some Moon butt.

"Moon Crisis, make up!"

Sailor Moon jumped swiftly out her window using the support of her barely visible butterfly-like wings. As she was flying low, she passed one of the darker and more succumbed alleys she felt an evil presence there.

She took her steps cautiously and peered into the alley.

"Good evening Sailor Moon."

The cackling voice was filled with acrimony. Sailor Moon spun around and almost succeeded but mid-way, she tripped over her right foot and she fell on her butt.

"Jesus today is not my kind of good day." She grumbled to herself, leaving the pathetic youma all alone and forgotten. She complained and muttered about the pros and cons to being a superhero. Finally, the youma had enough of being ignored. Catching her attention he did.

"What do you want, can't you see I'm busy?" Usagi snapped at the youma coldly, still licking her wounds.

" For someone who's the supposedly the champion of justice, your not a hell of a champion. I will destroy you easily and be on my way!" "Puh-lease."

Sailor Moon growled back violently, not even fazing the over confidant monster.

"Your probably a little school girl who fails her tests and trips over her own two feet." The youma taunted back.

"OK! That's it you slime ball. Your hitting a little too close to the mark and now I'm gonna punish you!

The youma looked at her with amusement and wondered why Sailor Moon was flicking her fingers behind her back. Suddenly Sailor Moon withdrew her arm from behind herself and in her grasped in her palm was a scepter of some sort.

Seeing this, the youma backed away sensing this was most likely a powerful weapon. Quick to his wits he sent toward Sailor Moon a stream of yellow colored liquid. By the time Sailor Moon realized what the yellow stuff was, all she managed to do was turn. The searing acid hit her on her back and the backside of her arms. She held the scream in, but a gasp of pain managed to slip out of her mouth as the searing pain surging through her body. Her mind was telling her to scream, but she redeemed herself and winced, while trying to get up.

"Moon Gorgeous Meditation!"

The attack shot out of her scepter and hit the youma. It screeched out in pain and was dusted in a matter of seconds. Sailor Moon jumped and did a little dance to praise herself.

"Moon Dusted!

With that she started limping towards the park, still wincing with pain from where the youma had inflicted a most likely critical wound.

When she arrived at the scene in the park, Venus was unconscious and Mercury was struggling to get up using the support of the tree she had been thrown into. Both energy spent Mars and Jupiter were fighting against the 17 - foot youma that was quickly advancing on them. Sailor Moon did what she had done to the green slime before.

"Moon Gorgeous Meditation!"

The youma turned to dust as the wind picked it up until there was nothing there.

A furious Mars was now storming towards her screaming to her heart's content.

"WHERE WERE YOU, GOD I'M GUESSING YOU TRIPPED ON YOUR WAY OVER HERE! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU. IF YOU WERE REALLY OUR LEADER AND OUR PRINCESS THEN YOU WOULD'VE BEEN HERE TO HELP US!"

Rei went on and on about Usagi's bad qualities. She looked at the other senshi and noticed they weren't defending her like they normally did. Suddenly there was a moan behind them. Turning around they saw Venus regaining consciousness. They all ran over to her side.

"Are you okay?" asked the worried senshi in unison.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Don't be so hard on Usagi, she must have a reason for being late."

Usagi smiled down at her best friend, but Rei and the rest of the girls were still furious.

"No! She doesn't deserve to be our leader. She may be our Princess, but I refuse for her to be our leader!"

Rei was being completely stubborn.

Of course, it was a known fact that she wanted to be the leader of the group.

"Minna, is that what you really want?"

Everyone turned to Usagi. She just continued.

"If this is what you really want then have it your way. I resign my position as leader of the sailor scouts.and I take leave as your princess, on one request, I ask you do not relieve yourself of your duties and continue to defend Tokyo of the Black Moon.

"Princess!"

Minako grasped invisible air as she forced herself to stand.

"Wait! I-I take leave as leader of the Sailor Scouts.I befall upon myself as lone guardian of Princess Serenity, I. revoke myself from the senshi, and I take full responsibility to all that harms Serenity.

Sailor Moon looked Venus in the eye hard. Then stiffly nodded her head and started to walk off. Venus scrambled her numb feeling legs after her.

Horrified gasps followed them.

She shook it off and walked past a particular tree with a certain masked man in a tuxedo, stifled his own gasp.

Her back was overflowing with blood.

" That cannot be from the youma she just destroyed."

"You guys? What's going to happen now?"

Author's End Notes:

Alrighty, I'm done with Chapter 1. You people have no idea how hard it is to work with a brain dead mind. If you do, then you can sympathize.

When the clock strikes 12, it's midnight, and the sun closes it's bright light for the night till dawn shines bright. God Bless.



P.S.-If anybody wonders where Chibi-Usa is, she'll show up soon, and for all you haters of Chibi-Usa better get your tails between your legs and bust on out of here, because the characteristics Naoko Takeuchi originally wanted for Chibi-Usa was not a bratty and spoiled little 6 year old, rather more mature and a tad bit too smart for her age level. A true Sailor Moon Fanatic would know how to tell the difference between something the creator works out, and what the crappy Television Animation Companies do to twist it around in the worst ways. Oh, and I've probably just bashed some people, and I don't exactly mean to do so, please excuse my behavior. Ja Ne!
