(Chapter One)

(Chapter One)

Oh come on… it can't be that hard to click a link can it? You're at the first chapter already! No need for disclaimers, if you want to, go straight back to the prologue, you can read them there. See, isn't it much better to read the entire thing than read, wait, wait, wait, and THEN read? It drives ME insane seeing as I always forget the story title and can't finish it at all!

~*~*~*~*~ At The Gates Of Time ~*~*~*~*~

Pluto's head jerked up as she stared at the gigantic rift appearing in the time-stream. She clutched her Time Staff tightly and she tried to smooth the rift back together. But it wouldn't work, there were two forces working together, two opposite forces for different goals, yet it still worked together to pull apart Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion. "What…?" she asked wonderingly. She recognized one of the forces being Queen Serenity and she was confused. The other was pure, malicious evil.

~*~*~*~*~ In The Gundam Wing Dimension ~*~*~*~*~

"Ohhh." Moaned Serena as she shook her head trying to clear her vision. "Are you alright Serena?" a gentle voice came from above her. She looked up to see Michelle smiling down at her, though her eyes were confused. "Where are we?" asked Serena looking around them. "I don't know… there was some kind of inter-dimensional portal and we were sucked into it or something." Serena suddenly looked up and screamed. "Ohmygod! What is that!" she shrieked making Michelle look up in alarm. "Oh no…" murmured the aqua-haired woman as she stared at the huge looming mass of gleaming metal, with some sort of weapon aimed right at them.

There was a sudden blast from their side and they whipped their heads around just in time to see another huge machine shoot a blast at the machine in front of them. "Who are you!" came a voice from inside the machine. Alex stood up next to the two girls. "I am Alex Ten'ou. Who are you?" she asked loudly to the machine knowing that whoever was in it would hear her.

"That is not something you are to know at this moment, are you part of OZ?" came the forceful answer. Serena blinked. "What? Are you talking about that old child's story about the Wizard of Oz?" she asked confused. "Don't play around with me. Are you part of OZ!" snapped the young man inside the machine. "Please. We were pulled through a inter-dimensional portal and we just landed here. We come from Tokyo in the year 2001. What time or place is it now?" asked Michelle quietly and calmly up at him. "Do you think I'd believe you? But the answer is after colony 195 (AN: Don't ask me. I don't even know any of this stuff myself. How the hell do they come up with these dates?! It's even worse than my history class!)" Michelle blinked. "Oh…"

Serena was still a little confused but she pushed it away from her mind. "She speaks the truth. We don't even know why we're here ourselves." She said, calling to the machine. There was a loud noise and another machine landed next to the one they were talking to. "What's going on Heero? Why are you still standing there?" another male voice came from the other machine. "These are strange people who suddenly appeared from nowhere in the middle of the battlefield." Answered Heero on the intercom, which prevented the girls from hearing him. "And you're attempting to kill them on the spot? They are as much as innocent civilians!" Heero grudgingly moved his buster rifle away from the three de-transformed Sailor Scouts.

The other young man's voice came out so that the three could hear it. "How did you get here?" he asked in a friendly voice as if he wasn't in a machine big enough to blow them into a million pieces on the spot. Serena spoke up this time. "We were pulled through and inter-dimensional portal and it has closed up so we can't go home!" she yelled loudly. A loud explosion from the side cut her off from any more words. The two machines turned towards the interruption. Serena was getting mad and she wasn't the only one. "Okay, I've had enough. Let's kick these metal trashcans' butts! Senshi! Henshin yo!" yelled Alex holding up her transformation stick. "URANUS PLANET POWER! MAKE-UP!" she yelled and the others henshin words to begin their transformations and as all three spun into a graceful stop, they began their attacks.

"MOON SPIRAL HEART—"

"Uranus WORLD—"

"NEPTUNE DEEP—"

"ATTACK!"

"SHAKING!"

"SUBMERGE!"

All three attacks slammed into the Tauros suits that had lined up and they disintegrated in an instant. The two pilots of the gundams were amazed at the sight of the three magic attacks that destroyed the whole line of Tauros. "Whoa… that was a *big* blast, you've got to say." Muttered Quatre in astonishment. Serena was the first to turn back around. "So does *that* answer your question? Weren't you about to destroy those things as well?" Quatre's voice came from his suit, "Fine. We'll have to take you somewhere else to talk, but climb on." He lowered the gundam's hand and they all climbed on. Heero simply transformed his gundam into flight mode and blasted off saying, "If you think you can trust them… I'll meet you there."

Sailor Moon climbed on the machine's hand carefully. "Whoa… and to think this might be the future of our world." Neptune nodded. "Too bad, this world would have made a nice parallel universe." Uranus shrugged. "We have to be able to find a way to get back to Sailor Moon's dimension soon and find out what's wrong with the scouts… and Tuxedo Mask." Sailor Moon looked solemn. "Why? He basically hates me and the other scout's don't want me as their leader. Simple as that." her voice was vacant, her eyes opaque. Neptune smiled over at her patting her shoulder awkwardly. "It's going to be fine. I'm sure that there's something wrong with the other scouts to do something like that. It's just too hard to believe about them who've been with you since… Queen Beryl right?" Sailor Moon nodded. "Well, I suppose that's one less thing I can worry about around here. I doubt Pluto had anything to do with this since she hasn't appeared and told us what we're supposed to do here."

Neptune nodded. Looking up at the machine's huge face, she called, "Where exactly are you taking us?" the voice came through quickly. "Somewhere safe for now. Then we can talk." The ride was silent as they looked at the passing scenery as they moved quickly towards the unknown destination.

When they finally reached it, Serena gasped to see a magnificent mansion. "Wow." She breathed staring at the majestic towers on the roof. The young man leaped out of the cockpit and they could see he was a handsome young blond and blue-eyed young man who looked Arabian. "I'm Quatre Raberba Winner." He said introducing himself. Uranus wasted to no time in lifting up a gloved fist. "Where are we?" she asked, more like growled before Neptune pulled her back. "I'm sorry, she's a little… impatient." Quatre nodded. "Come on. Let's go inside first before we talk. I'm sure Heero would like to hear what you'd have to say as well."

As they followed them in, Serena looked around herself in wonder at the beautiful rooms that she walked through until they reached a grand room with huge couches of red velvet and on one of them, a young man with brown hair done up in a braid was sprawled. He jumped up the moment they entered the room, "Whoa Quatre! When did you become a babe magnet?" Uranus was about to step up and pummel him when Neptune and Moon held her back. "Down girl!" cautioned Serena jokingly, but quietly. Quatre looked like he wanted to roll his eyes but was too polite to do so; "This is Duo Maxwell. A… friend I guess you could say." The young man smiled his face exuberant. "Yep, I may run and I may hide, but I'll never tell a lie." Serena giggled slightly.

A door opened and another young man with lighter brown hair than Duo's but with *very* long bangs that slightly covered one dark green eyes walked in. "Am I interrupting something?" he said, his voice a monotone. Quatre shook his head, "Stay. Where's Wufei and Heero?" A Chinese guy with black hair and black eyes came into the room. "Why are you hanging around with these women?!" Duo laughed. "Calm down Wu-man! I'm ready to listen to what's going to be said!" Wufei glared at the braided boy. "DON'T. CALL. ME. WU-MAN!" he yelled at Duo. Serena blinked at him, but didn't say anything. Quatre turned at a slight tap on his shoulder. A handsome young man with unruly brown hair that covered his Prussian blue eyes stood behind them. Quatre led the girls in and they sat down on one of the couches while Heero and Quatre each took a separate couch.

"First of all, I suppose we should introduce ourselves. You know me and Duo, but that's Trowa Barton, he's Wufei Chang, and he's Heero Yuy." He said pointing to each one in turn. Sailor Moon nodded. "Should we tell them?" she asked Uranus and Neptune. Uranus shrugged. "It wouldn't matter. If they turn out to be enemies then we can destroy them." Serena nodded slowly. "I don't think I'd want to do that… but if necessary…" she paused before turning to the guys. "I'm sorry… who we are is kind of a secret in our world."

"Whaddya mean 'your world'?" asked Duo. "We're from a different dimension and we were pulled here through an inter-dimensional time portal. We told your friend Heero, but he didn't believe us." Duo was wearing a skeptical expression. "Well… to tell you the truth, it seems to be stretching our beliefs a *little* bit… no offense." Moon nodded. "I guess, but since I doubt you have any monsters hanging around in a room, we can't exactly show you anything." Neptune stood up, "Moon, we can't stay as Sailors forever… we've got to de-transform and replenish the energy we need to expend." Sailor Moon nodded, "Do you think they'd take *that* as proof?" Uranus stood up, "Why should we prove anything? We just need to find that portal back to your world." Sailor Moon didn't dignify the 'your world' part of the sentence but she said, "We can't simply wander around the world looking for a portal, we don't even know where one is!"

She de-transformed quickly since the energy drain was becoming exhausting and Neptune and Uranus soon followed suit. Serena was standing there in her normal school uniform again and so were Michelle and Alexandra. "I guess we have a story to tell them then." Said Serena, Michelle nodded, but Alex remained silent. "Well, where should we start?" Quatre spoke up politely then, "Would you mind telling us your names?" the others were still a little stunned at their magical de-transformation. "I'm Serena Tsukino, she's Amara Ten'ou and she's Michelle Kaiou. Well, I guess you could say this all started out in the Silver Millennium…"

Michelle continued, "Serena was a princess of the Moon, daughter of Queen Serenity, who governed with peace over the moon. Serena's court the princesses of Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were and still are destined to become her protectors and her guardians. Princess Serenity fell in love with a young man from Earth, Prince Darien. He swore he would love her for all eternity, since that was how long their lives would be… but a great evil swept out across the universe and destroyed the Moon Kingdom… Serena, and the other Inner Scouts, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, Prince Darien, and also their two feline guardians, Luna and Artemis were sent to a new time on Earth to be given a second chance at life. The Outer Scouts were sent to a different time, and we came back to their time to fulfill a mission."

Alexandra took up the story, "Well, Serena became the Soldier known as Sailor Moon. She fought with the others that were from her court on the moon and they became known as the Pretty-Suited Sailor Soldiers and fought with their powerful magic to destroy all evil that could penetrate through the holes between the Nega-verse and their world."

"But somehow, the others began to drift away from me, become more distant. They said they needed to figure themselves out… so I took on the duty of destroying the monsters myself… until today when they finally said they didn't want me in the Soldier troops and tried to steal my crystal…" she held up her broach with the crystal inside it. "Then we were transported through some kind of portal and we were brought here to this dimension." She finished.

Serena's voice was hollow as she finished the story and the whole room could see the tears that were glittering in her eyes that she refused to shed. Michelle wrapped a comforting arm around her, something she almost never did and said softly, "I'm sure we'll figure it out Serena, I don't think the other scouts would turn on you like that." Serena nodded, taking a deep breath and closing her eyes. When she opened them, she smiled slightly to the guys. "And that's basically it." She said, "Whether you believe it or not, that's our story." Quatre was the first to speak, "Of course we believe you. We've all got secrets… some things we aren't supposed to tell others of… like our gundams."

"Gundams?"

"The mobile suit that I brought you here in." Serena nodded. Michelle stood up, "I'm sure we should be going… we wouldn't want to intrude on you anymore than we already have." Duo stood up, "You can't just *leave* right now! You've got no place to go!" Serena shrugged, "We'll manage I suppose." Quatre stood, "Why don't you stay here? There's plenty of room and we could use your help in fighting those other suits that are sent in by OZ." Alexandra raised an eyebrow. "Was that the catch?" Quatre shook his head, "You don't have to if you don't want to, but we *do* want you to stay here. It'll be easier for you to find that portal home if you can have someplace to stay wouldn't it?" Serena nodded slowly, "Should we trust them?" she asked the Outer scouts. "I suppose…" returned Michelle slowly. Serena turned to Quatre, "Thank you so much Mr. Winner, we accept your gracious offer."

"Please, just Quatre." Duo leaped to his feet, "I'll take them to their rooms!" he offered beaming. "Fine." Replied Quatre sitting down on the couch again. Duo motioned for them to follow. As soon as the door closed, Heero spoke up in his monotone. "Do you think we can trust them?" Quatre nodded, "If they can trust us with *their* story, then I'm sure we can trust them." Wufei snorted, "You actually believe that a bunch of weak *women* in mini-skirts would be able to defend their world?" Trowa spoke up, "Anything is possible… if they were able to blast those Tauros suits into oblivion in one blast, then I'm sure they would be strong enough to destroy whatever evil is in their own world."

~*~*~*~*~ In The Sailor Moon Dimension ~*~*~*~*~

"Where is she?!" yelled a furious voice. The senshi trembled as their master unleashed his fury slamming the 3-D map of the whole of Tokyo. "She's nowhere in Tokyo! Where the hell could one Lunarian go!" he yelled. "I have located an inter-dimensional portal into another world. It is in the exact place where the target and two others were found." Nodding, the master smiled, "Very good. Let us go." As soon as they reached the place, the purple beam of light shot up once more, taking them towards the sky. The dark shadow of the man stayed conscious enough to think, You'll be mine Serenity, and you will become the Dark Queen that you are destined to be.
