Sailor Moon Z: Z is for Zodiac Prologue
Time: Silver Millennium about 14 years before Beryl.

June 30
"Push Serenity, push," told the nurse, "we almost have it!"
"The child came out," spoke another nurse, "it's a girl."
"She will be Serenity IV," said Serenity.

January 12
Serenity went to the doctor. "M'queen, there's another child in there ready to come out."
10 hours later...
Another child came out. It was also a girl. Queen Serenity called her Solana.
"You must take here to the star guardians: Tenchi, Sasami, Ayeka, and Ryoko. She will train to be Sailor Zodiac."
"Why m'queen?"
"No Serenity has ever had two daughters and both kids survived. Now go!"
The nurse put the babe in a basket and gave it to a star sprite because she didn't know where the guardians were. Not even the queen knew.
Soon Solana was at the guardian's place. Ayeka read the note. "Tenchi! We have a new daughter!"
14 years later
"I call upon the power of Gemini. Gemini Illusion!"
Lana waved her fingers in front of her eyes and put the non-moving fingers straight out."
"Good job Lana," spoke Tenchi, "you'll make a great Sailor Zodiac."
"Thanks dad!"
Someone listened in on their conversation. "I should be Sailor Z," thought Ryoko," just because I'm not some moon princess but she'll pay some day.'
Secretly, Ryoko was a member of the Negaverse. She was ranked higher than anyone else except Beryl. Ryoko knew it was time. If Beryl attacked the Moon Kingdom now, she and Beryl would rule.
"Ryoko come in!" yelled Beryl.
"Yes m'queen, what is your desire?"
"Is it time yet?"
"Yes."
"Good, I want to get rid of them all, especially Princess Serenity. You must get Sailor Zodiac there too. Beryl out."
"Ryoko out."
Ryoko went to Tenchi. She told him there was a meeting for all sailors in two days. This was true.
"I'm so excited!" shouted Lana, "I get to meet the queen!"
"Ryoko is going with you," responded Tenchi, "so be good, bring everything, and have fun."
"Do you have your ballgown?" questioned Ayeka.
"Yes mom!" responded Lana.
"By the way, there's something we should have told you a long time ago," Tenchi told.
"What?" inquired Lana.
"You are Princess Solana of the moon kingdom. Your real mother sent you here so you wouldn't be killed."
A yellow crescent moon suddenly appeared on her forehead. Inside it was a little star since she was raised as the princess of the stars.
"Go, the ball is waiting," whispered Ayeka.
"Bye, I'll miss you!" shouted Lana.
So she and Ryoko left for the Moon Kingdom.
When they arrived they were greeted my Sailors Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury.
"Welcome to the moon kingdom," they chanted.
"You have 5 hours to the ball," said Mercury," so I'd hurry um... what's your name?"
"Sailor Zodiac, or Lana my real name."
"Misses?" inquired the butler," this way please."
Lana and Ryoko were amazed at the beauty of the place. "Lana, I'm staying somewhere else, k" asked Ryoko.
"Yes but where's my room?" she replied.
"This one with the Z on it," spoke the butler.
He opened the door and Lana's jaw dropped. The bed was a queen size with yellow, navy blue, and emerald green sheets. A navy blue ballgown with an emerald green collar lay on a chair.
The ball
All the scouts were really excited. This was the Queen's annual ball held on this day for millennia. Then the queen and princess entered.
"Thank you all for coming," told the queen," we hope you enjoy yourselves. Also, dinner is now served."
Lana got to sit next to Princess Serenity and Princess Amy of Mercury. She really liked Serena, as she preferred to be called. "It makes me seem to princess-like," she whispered.
Then a man came up to Serenity and asked her to dance. Lana went to the ladies room to refresh.
A loud blast was heard. It was Beryl.
The crowd scattered, instantly killed. The scouts tried to stop it, but they too were killed. Then a blast was heading for Serenity but Endymon took it. Serenity cried, then she too was killed.
Queen Serenity was devastated. "You will all have another chance," she bellowed. "MOON COSMIC POWER!"
Everyone was in a ball. Sailor Zodiac got there but she was late. Serenity sent them all to 20th century Japan except for Sailor Zodiac who was sent to America.
And that's where out story begins.
