"Fate" - A Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Series
Fire Angel

AUTHOR'S NOTE 1: Okay guys, this series is just a little thing I thought up, but each story is
only a one-part fan fic, and they are all separate stories (ie. Their outcomes do not affect the
other stories). Their outcomes will not reflect on my future fan fictions. Any comments? E-mail
me at rinoa_heartilly86@hotmail.com

AUTHOR'S NOTE 2: This idea came to me while watching an episode of Animorphs… one of the
Animorphs makes a wish that they never met the Andalite, blah blah blah. The end result of that
episode was really good, so I thought; maybe I'd try the same thing. I mean, it's kinda obvious
Usagi-chan doesn't really wanna be Sailor Moon. If you want to flame me, go ahead. I don't think
one fan fiction authors gets through without a flame of some type ^_^


Fate
Part 5: You Can't Just Dream

PROLOGUE
She had never really wanted to do it. Not for one moment. She had just wanted to live her life
out, being a normal girl. She just wanted to be Tsukino Usagi, happy-go-lucky junior high school
student, who was late every day for school, and frequently forgot to do homework or bring lunch.
But no. As well as Usagi, she had to be Sailor Moon, pretty sailor-suited fighter for love and
justice. On top of that, she was Princess Serenity, the long dead princess of the Moon Kingdom.
'To the normal Usagi. Bye-bye.'
On top of that, she still had to keep up her school grades and have a social life. Plus, she had
to deal with the hassles of being a teenager. Pile all that in one big heap and it's a pretty
awful deal.

Usagi flopped down on the floor. She glanced at the clock. It was midnight. She had only just
gotten back from fighting one of Sailor Galaxia's most powerful minions. She had tons of homework
to do, and she frankly could not be stuffed. The fighting had taken everything out of her.
What am I supposed to do? she thought. I can't tell Haruna-sensei that I spent all night saving
the world. She'll think I've finally gone crackers, and lock me up. Oh man… I can't handle this
anymore. This is insane. I DON'T WANNA DO THIS ANYMORE! she screamed to herself; her in-the-head
version of wailing. Please, God… don't make me do this anymore. I don't wanna be Sailor Moon. I
wanna be Usagi.

Little did she know that this small comment could change her entire life… and not necessarily in
a good way…


CHAPTER 1
"Oh no, I'm LATE!" Usagi screamed, throwing off her bed covers and flinging herself out of bed.
Slamming her door, she ripped off her pyjamas and slipped on her school clothes. "I can't believe
I slept in AGAIN!" she yelled as she struggled to pull on her shoes. Grabbing her school bag, she
ran downstairs, grabbed her lunch, and dashed out the door. "Have a good day, mama!" she called
as she slammed it behind her.

She ran the whole way to Juuban Crossroads High School. When she got there, she dashed inside her
classroom and sat down at her regular seat by Osaka Naru, her best friend.
"We've got that algebra test today," Naru whispered. "Have you studied? It's gonna be really
hard."
"Oh, no!" Usagi wailed, slamming her head against the desk. "I didn't even give it a second
thought! Man, being a teenager is so hard!"

That was when the high-pitched, evil-sounding roars began.

* * * *

"Luna! What are you doing here?" Hino Rei hissed as she walked through the gates of T*A Girls
Private School. A black cat with a golden crescent moon on its forehead had entered after her, a
panicked look on its face.
"Rei-chan, there's a monster heading towards Juuban Crossroads High School. The other girls are
already in classes; I don't know if they'll be able to get away to transform. You have to get
down there and help the students!"

Rei immediately ducked behind a building, with Luna close behind her. Frowning, she peered around
the corner as she cautiously pulled her transformation pen out.
"Mars Crystal Power, Make Up," she whispered. When she had finished transforming, she said,
"Right! Let's go, Luna!"
"You go, Mars," Luna replied. "I'm going to find Haruka and the others; see if they can help. In
the meantime, you go." Luna dashed around the corner and into the distance.

"All right Luna," Sailor Mars whispered. "In the name of Mars, I shall protect this city."
The silent oath was her own, no one else had to hear. Peering around the corner once more, she
dashed off towards Juuban High.

* * * *

Mizuno Ami, resident brain of Juuban Crossroads High School, looked out the window, eyes filled
with horror. A huge monster was standing at the entrance to the school, making the most horrid
wailing sounds. She looked around the classroom. Everyone, even Haruna-sensei, was covering his
or her ears to stop the horrible sound.

There was a break in the wailing, and Usagi screamed, "What is it, Ami-sama?"
"It's a really weird looking monster!" Ami yelled as the wailing began again. "Come have a look!"

As everyone went over towards the window, looking at the monster that was making the noise, Ami
turned and fled the classroom, pulling her transformation pen out of her bag.
"Mercury Crystal Power, Make Up!"

* * * *

Usagi looked out the window, trying to see at the same time as cover her ears to block out the
terrible sound. But then the monster stopped wailing. Just like that. With one terrible movement,
it reached out a long tentacle and knocked down the wall she, along with everyone else, was
standing by, watching.

Everyone screamed in horror and leapt back as the monster lumbered towards them. Usagi and Naru
ran and hid under their desks, whimpering in terror and shock.
"Usagi-chan… I'm scared," Naru whispered, tears running down her face. "I'm scared to death."
Usagi hugged her friend and started to whisper, "Don't worry, Naru… We'll be all right… the
Sailor Senshi will come and save us, I'm sure they will!"

*Usagi was standing, brave and bold, in front of a woman twice the size of this creature. A long,
silver dress billowed out behind her as she held an object threateningly towards her enemy. It
was a beautiful pink wand, with a gold crescent moon on top, and a silver gem embedded in the
crescent. Four girls were standing around her, also holding onto the wand. She knew by instinct
that they were her friends, the Sailor Senshi…*

"Usagi! Usagi!" Naru screeched. "Snap out of it!"
Usagi looked up, dazed from the apparition, and screamed as she saw the monster walking towards
her, tentacles outstretched.
With one long tentacle, it reached for her…


CHAPTER 2
"Luna, I'm sure that the Inner Senshi will be fine without us," Kaiou Michiru said gently, her
calm voice sounding even older than usual.
"They can handle things by themselves," Teno'u Haruka added. "Anyway, we may be attacked by this…
Chaos creature at any time. We have to reserve our strength."
"And you think the others don't?" Luna grated. "Setsuna has already headed off to help them. Why
can't the two of you think of the others for once, instead of just yourself? You are supposed to
fight as a team with the rest of the senshi! You are not going to save the world if there is just
the two of you!"

"Luna…" Michiru sighed.
"Don't even think about arguing!" Luna snapped. "You are going to go and help the others, whether
you like it or not!"
Haruka sighed, and slammed on her helmet as she climbed back onto her motorbike. She handed a
helmet to Michiru, who climbed on behind her.
"Alright already, we're going. Happy now?" Haruka sighed as she revved the bike up. Luna leapt
onto the back of the bike, and together they sped to Juuban High.

* * * *

"Mars Flame Sniper!" a harsh voice yelled. Almost instantly, a flaming arrow shot past Usagi and
hit the monster's tentacle. The monster yanked back almost immediately. Seconds later, a girl
clad in the fuku of a sailor senshi leapt from atop a desk and down to face the monster.

"How dare you pick on young school-girls!" the girl cried, a furious frown creasing over her
face. "They are innocent, and have no way to defend themselves from your evil. I am the leader of
the Sailor Senshi… Super Sailor Mars!"
"And I am Super Sailor Mercury, the defender of the planet Mercury!"
Everyone, including Sailor Mars, turned to face the newcomer. Mars smiled and winked at her
fellow senshi.
"For love and fire…" Sailor Mars hissed.
"And for justice and ice…" Sailor Mercury whispered.
"In the name of our planets, we will destroy you!" they yelled together. "For the human race!"

"Mercury," Sailor Mars hissed. "Get everyone out of here… I'll hold the monster off on my own for
a while. Get Jupiter and Venus, too."
"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Sailor Mercury asked.
"Just go," Sailor Mars grated. "We both know my powers are stronger than yours. Hurry!"
She began to form another attack as Sailor Mercury quickly ushered everyone out of the classroom.
Neither of them saw Usagi hiding on her own in the corner of the room, a dazed look painted on
her face.

* * * *

*Usagi suddenly found herself facing another enemy. Her gown was the same as in the last vision,
but this time a golden crown adorned her head, and instead of the wand, she simply held the
silver crystal. The enemy roared with laughter as his strength started to overpower her, pushing
her back. Suddenly, her senshi were there with her again, along with a young girl with pink hair
and a tall man with dark hair, who was wearing a tuxedo and a strange white mask.
That's Mamoru… a voice whispered. A voice she knew, but even so, could not place. That guy that's
always calling me… Odango Atama.*

*"You can call me Odango Atama if you want to," Usagi whispered. She was sitting by Mamoru, who
was now wearing a suit that looked like something a prince wore in a fairy tale. She herself was
wearing a sailor senshi outfit, but one she had never seen before. It had a blue skirt, with red
bows and boots. Mamoru laughed, clutching onto her hand. "Remember me," he whispered. Prince
Endymion…*

*A terrible war raged on. An evil woman and a small group of men were attacking the palace in
full force. Usagi was crying, watching as they killed Mamoru, still dressed in his prince outfit.
But suddenly, an older woman was by her side, wearing a silver dress much like the one she was
wearing. She had her purple hair pulled up like Usagi's own. She was holding the wand Usagi had
held in the first vision. The older woman put her arm around Usagi, tears running down her face.
"I won't let them take you," she promised. Mother!*

Who am I? And why am I lost in all of these strange worlds? I'm just Usagi, aren't I…? Or… am I
really someone else?


CHAPTER 3
"Usagi-chan!" Naru screeched as Sailor Mercury led them outside.
"Who?" Sailor Mercury asked gently.
"Usagi-chan isn't here!" Naru sobbed. "She must still be inside!"

* * * *

"Rei-chan!" a voice called frantically from the doorway.
"What?!" Sailor Mars grunted, watching as the newly arrived Sailor Pluto jammed her staff into
the monster's stomach.
"Someone called Usagi is still inside!" Sailor Mercury yelled. She dashed into the classroom and
to Mars' side, closely followed by Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus.
Sailor Mars looked quickly around the classroom as Jupiter lunged at the monster, forming a
vicious attack with the help of Sailor Pluto. She cried out as she spotted Usagi sitting in the
corner of the room. "That must be her! She's… in a trance!"

She ran over to Usagi and slapped her hard in the face.
"Snap out of it!" she yelled, her temper taking over. "You have to get out of here; you're in
great danger!"
"Sailor Mars!" the girl called, delusional. "I don't want to do this on my own! I don't want to
be the princess anymore!"
Sailor Mars pulled back, a horrified look on her face.
"This girl thinks she is a princess," she said flatly. "But there were never any other princesses
besides us. She's in shock. Sailor Mercury, please get her out of here."

"No! Let me go, Sailor Mercury! I have to help Chibi-Usa! The Death Phantom has her, and he won't
let her go!"
"Chibi-who?" Sailor Venus asked.
"She knows about the Death Phantom," Sailor Mercury breathed.
"Just get her out of here!" Sailor Mars snapped.
Sailor Mercury picked up the struggling girl and carried her out of the room as Sailor Mars and
Sailor Venus turned to help Sailor Jupiter with the monster.

* * * *

Who am I, Ami-chan? Please, Ami-chan, answer me! It's me, Usagi! Usagi pleaded. She didn't know
whether she was speaking out loud or just thinking. And besides, who was Ami-chan?
-Usagi… How do you know my name?-
I don't know, Ami-chan… I think it was Queen Serenity… who is Queen Serenity, Ami-chan?
-Queen Serenity is the queen of the Moon. She's the one that advises me and the other Sailor
Senshi when we're in trouble… how do you know of her?-
She came to me in a vision.

* * * *

Sailor Uranus rolled her eyes, glancing back at Sailor Neptune as they walked in through the
gates of Juuban High.
"I think they've destroyed the monster already," Sailor Uranus said matter-of-factly, watching
the school students crowd around Sailors Mars, Jupiter, Pluto and Venus.
"See, Luna?" Sailor Neptune said, trying not to sound annoyed. "We told you they'd be alright."

"Oh… uh, sorry you two," Luna muttered. "I just thought they'd need help, that's all…"
"Whatever," Sailor Uranus snapped. She climbed back on her motorbike and beckoned for Sailor
Neptune to join her.
"It's okay, Luna," Sailor Neptune whispered. "You were just trying to help, I know." She climbed
on the bike beside Uranus, and they sped off, leaving a trail of dust behind them.

* * * *

"A… a vision?" Sailor Mercury asked, shaking the young girl. "What type of vision, Usagi?"
"They were killing him…" she cried. "Killing Mamo-chan!"
"Who was killing Mamoru?" Sailor Mercury pressed. "Usagi-chan, who was killing Mamo-chan?"
The girl lapsed into unconsciousness, her eyes rolling back into her head. She whispered,
"Metallia."

* * * *

Usagi looked around fervently. She wasn't in a state of half-shock anymore. In fact, she knew
exactly what was going on and who she was. She remembered what had happened in her previous day,
but also in her alternate life, where she was Sailor Moon, the fighter who stood for love and
justice.

"Hello?" she called, looking down at her dress; the dress she wore as Princess Serenity. "Hello?
Is anyone here?"
"Hello, my daughter," a voice replied.
Usagi looked up and smiled nervously at the smiling face of Queen Serenity, queen of the moon.
"Uh… hi," she said.


CHAPTER 4
"You mean that my wish… if it even was a wish… made destiny's path change so that I was not
Sailor Moon?" Princess Serenity asked, dumbfounded. "There was no Sailor Moon at all?"
"Yes, that's right," Queen Serenity said, nodding her head. "Your… wish, as you put it, changed
the world's destiny… and yours."

Princess Serenity smiled wistfully and said, "I liked being a normal girl, mother… a normal girl
who didn't have to worry about saving the world all the time."
"Then why don't you go back to the world you were living in just then? I'll let you remember
everything though… and that way if things start to go bad for you… just say the word and you'll
be Sailor Moon again… back in your real destiny."

"Thankyou, Queen Serenity. Mother, I love you."

* * * *

She awoke to find Sailor Mercury sitting with her, a worried look on her face.
"Hello, Am… oh, I mean, Sailor Mercury."
"Usagi, how do you know about Metallia?"
Memories flooded Usagi's mind, but she put them out of her head and replied blankly, "Metallia?
Who is Metallia?"

Sailor Mercury raised a hand to her head.
"I must be imagining things," she muttered. "Don't worry about it, Usagi. You should go outside
and find Naru now. The monster's gone."
"Thankyou, Sailor Mercury…" Usagi said, getting to her feet.
Thanks, Ami-chan. I owe you one. I'm sorry for running away.

* * * *

"I've never seen anything like it before," Rei said, nestling into the crook of Chiba Mamoru's
arm. "It was really powerful."
"It sounds like more of Galaxia's work… and that Chaos monster. They're getting more powerful day
by day," Mamoru replied. "We really have to do something to stop them, Rei-chan."
"I know," Rei said, resting her head against his chest. "But right now, I'm too comfortable to
attack Galaxia."

Mamoru laughed and ran a hand through her raven black hair.
"You're scared, aren't you?" he teased.
"Not as scared as you are, Mamo-chan," she giggled. "And don't tell me you're not scared; I saw
it in a vision."
"Oh yeah. I'm scared half to death. In fact, I think I'm going to run away and never fight
again."
"Sounds fair enough," Rei said. "Don't worry, I'll happily do your share of the fighting, Tuxedo
Kamen."

"Shh! You're not supposed to call me that in public!" he hissed, covering her mouth.
"Oh yeah, like there's really anyone here!" she laughed, gesturing around at the empty park.
Mamoru joined in on her laughter, although his tone was slightly more sheepish.
"Uh, yeah… I guess you're right, Rei-chan."

"You're so cute when you're embarrassed," she said, putting her hand on his cheek.
"Aren't I cute all the time?" he asked, looking slightly insulted.
"Of course you are, my cute little Tuxedo Ka…" He silenced her with a brief kiss.
"Now, if you're going to try and blow my cover like that once more, I'm going to have to punish
you," he said teasingly.

"Oh yeah? What are you gonna do, Tux…"
Before she could even get the first word out, his lips were on hers again. She giggled, kissing
him back.
They didn't see the figure watching them from the other side of the park; rage barely suppressed
on her pretty face.

* * * *

"What do you think you're doing with my boyfriend?!" Usagi screeched as she stormed up to the
couple in the park.
"Huh?" Rei said, pulling away from Mamoru. "I'm sorry, but I think you've got the wrong guy. This
is my boyfriend."
Oh man, of course… Usagi moaned to herself. Because there's no Moon Princess, Mamo-chan's not
destined for anyone, and he and Rei-chan would never have split up!

"Oh look, it's Odango Atama," Mamoru said mockingly. "Lost your boyfriend, Odango?" he said,
laughing. "I didn't even know you had one. That's a good one!"
"Mamoru, don't be so mean to her," Rei whispered. "She probably thought you were someone else."
She smiled at Usagi. "I'm right, aren't I?"
"Umm… yeah, yes… I was looking for my boyfriend… he looks a little like Mamoru… but he's a lot
nicer!" she snapped, storming off with tears in her eyes.
I love you, Mamoru. Rei-chan? If you can hear me… congratulations. You've gotten what you always
wanted. I'm sorry, both of you. I didn't want to run away.

* * * *

I don't believe this! Mamo-chan with Rei? Usagi yelled to herself. It is sooooooo unfair!
-Usagi, the decision to not be Sailor Moon was yours, not anyone else's,- a voice reminded her.
She didn't know who it was, but the voice was calming anyway.
Yeah, but I didn't know I wouldn't still have Mamo-chan!
-Usagi, you still don't want to be a senshi, do you?-
Of course not. I want to be a normal girl!
-Then you'll have to get over it. I know you love Mamoru, but destiny is different now. His
destiny takes a different path to yours now.-

And what about Chibi-Usa? My daughter?
-She doesn't exist. Do you want to change your mind? Go back to being Sailor Moon?-
No. I'm sorry about Chibi-Usa-chan and Mamo-chan. But I'm sick of being Sailor Moon!
-Then you may return. Obviously you still have a lesson to learn.-
Lesson? Usagi asked. What lesson?
But the voice was gone.


CHAPTER 5
"Do you really think we should go and fight Galaxia tonight?" Kino Makoto asked incredulously.
"Yes," Mamoru replied. "Rei-chan and I think she's getting stronger every day. We have to get rid
of her. Right now."
All of the senshi, along with Luna, Artemis and Mamoru, were gathered at the Hikawa Shrine. Usagi
was there also, but in hiding.
"Okay, if you're sure," Sailor Venus said. She sounded nervous. "I don't think it's going to be
fun though."

Without me, they will all die, Usagi said, the warning coming to her like a lightning bolt. Don't
they need the silver crystal?
-We've made it this far, Usagi. Don't doubt us now.- The voice was Rei's, but Rei wasn't even
looking at her; she was really talking to Mamoru. So who was it?
"I'll be careful, Mamo-chan!" Rei said, laughing.
"Don't worry, Mamoru-sama, we'll protect her for you," Haruka said, a warm smile on her face.

"Right, then you should go," Mamoru said hesitantly.
"We'll be careful!" Rei reassured him once more. Then, "Mars Crystal Power, Make Up!"
One by one, the girls transformed, and formed a large circle.
"Goodbye, Mamoru," Sailor Mars said. She handed him a prayer paper before she joined the circle.
"Pray for us."
"Take care," he whispered softly.

Sailor Mars raised her head to the sky and called, "Sailor Teleport!"
With a flash, they were gone.

* * * *

They appeared in a large area, where nothing but their own selves existed. Everything else was
blackness.
"Where are we?" Sailor Jupiter asked.
"Sailor Mercury, do a scan," Sailor Mars ordered.
"Already done, Rei-chan," Sailor Mercury replied. "I don't think any of this is real… but
actually a holo…"

Before she could finish, the blackness vaporised. All the girls gasped as Galaxia came flying
down towards them, holding onto a beautiful sword, with a horde of monsters by her side.

* * * *

Oh, no. I can feel it. They haven't made it.
-Why haven't they made it, Usako?- The voice this time was Mamoru's, answering her as if he was
right by her side.
Because I changed destiny, Mamo-chan. I'm not Sailor Moon anymore; you're with Rei-chan instead
of me… Without the silver crystal, there's no way they could have made it past Galaxia.
-Well, change destiny back, then.- His voice, usually gentle, was cold and impatient. -And hurry
with it, okay?-
Okay, Mamo-chan. I'll change destiny back… for us, if not for anything else.

* * * *

"Rei-chan… oh my God, Rei-chan. This isn't happening."
Mamoru's soft sobbing brought Usagi out of her thoughts. Peering from her hiding place, she saw
Mamoru holding Sailor Mars, who was so obviously weak she could not stand on her own.
"No-one survived," Sailor Mars said simply. "Galaxia was far too powerful for us… Sorry,
Mamo-chan."
"Rei, you can't die. Please, don't die, Rei."
"Mamo-chan, I'm going to die whether you like it or not," she whispered, her breathing heavy and
laboured.

"But… what am I going to do?" he whispered, tears rolling over his cheeks. "You know I can't live
without you."
"You won't have to, anyway," she said, wincing with the effort of talking. "The world is doomed.
Now that we… the Sailor Senshi and I have been defeated… there is no force left to stop Galaxia
from taking over Earth. She'll probably kill you because of your power."

"You're right," Mamoru said grimly. "I'm not going to let her get me, though," he whispered,
slipping his arm around Rei's shoulder and bracing her against him. With his other hand, he
pulled a shimmering red rose from a pocket in his coat. The stem of the rose was stiff, and the
bottom sharp like a knife.
"What are you doing, Mamoru?" Rei asked.
As an answer, Mamoru leaned over and kissed Rei gently on the lips.
"I love you, Rei-chan," he whispered.
As she sucked in her final breath, Mamoru plunged the dagger-sharp rose into his chest. Together
they fell to the ground, motionless.

"Mamo-chan! Rei-chan!" Usagi screamed, running to their motionless bodies. "NO!"
Take me back! she begged the voices in her head. I'll be Sailor Moon again! Just give them back
to me!


EPILOGUE
"I walked down here, and there you were, kissing Mamoru!" Usagi giggled to Rei. The two of them
were sitting on the very same bench where Usagi had found her beloved and her best friend
kissing.
Rei broke into hysterical laughter.
"I can so see that happening!" she giggled. Under Usagi's hard stare, she blushed and muttered,
"Hey, you changed destiny, not me."
"Well, you were still kissing him!" Usagi said.

"Actually, I was kissing her." Both girls looked up as Mamoru joined them. "Yes, I remember
every minute of it, little Odango," he laughed. "No need to look so shocked, is there?"
"Well, I'm just glad you guys wouldn't ever do anything like that in real life." She turned her
hard gaze on them. "Would you?"

"I'm not so sure about that, Usagi," Mamoru said, raising an eyebrow.
"What?!" Usagi cried.
"Yeah, there's something we have to tell you, Usagi," Rei said seriously, playing along.
"You see, Rei and I…" Mamoru began.
"No, forget it!" Usagi yelled. "I don't even wanna hear it!"

As she stormed off into the sunset, Mamoru grinned at Rei.
"She fell for it," he laughed. "I can't believe she fell for it!"
"Now you'll have to go apologise," Rei giggled.
"Yeah, I know," Mamoru said. "I'd better go," he laughed. He winked at Rei and headed off after
Usagi.

Finally, Rei thought. Everything is back to normal.
