Sailor Silence: HAHAHAHAHAH, I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!
Muse: Be afraid! Be VERY afraid!!!!
Hotaru: Oh shut up muse
Sailor Silence: Thank you Hotaru
Hotaru: You're welcome
Sailor Silence: Anyway you all know how many stories are out there that have Serena as the main character of a Sailor Moon/Final Fantasy VII crossover? Too many so I decided to do a crossover with another senshi as the star!
Hotaru: That would be me!
Sailor Silence: Oh thanks you just ruined the story!
Hotaru: But I didn't say who I was going to be set up with now did I?
Muse: No you didn't but I hate to think who will be your victim
Hotaru: *Glares at Muse* I don't see any guys knocking on your door now do I? So you have no room to talk!
Sailor Silence: Well while those two fight I'll let you get on with the story and I do not own Sailor Moon or Final Fantasy VII and if you even think I do then think again.
Crashes and bangs are heard in the background
Sailor Silence: Um excuse me while you read the story (Runs into the background a huge mallet in her hands)
Free, the dream within. The stars are crying, a tear. A sigh, escapes from heaven. And worlds end.
-The Dream Within from Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
Prologue
Sailor Saturn ran through the fast collapsing city of Crystal Tokyo her steps never missing a beat as she ran through the nearly run down streets. Screams still echoed in her mind and the blood of her allies and friends, the Sailor Senshi, still ran warm on her hands. Finally, when she reached the outskirts of the city, Sailor Saturn collapsed onto her knees gasping for air as she looked out at the once glorious kingdom that had been the Neo-Silver Millennium. The sky was pitch black and the world was dark and devoid of light and it seemed only a few hours ago there had been bright sunshine and laughter throughout the city but now there was none. Why? Why did something so impossible have to happen? thought Saturn to herself as she gazed over the now ruined world that had been her home for all of her life. Never in her 25-years had she seen this much destruction in so little time without being stopped by the Sailor Senshi and their princess but now there were no senshi to stop this. As she sat there Saturn allowed herself to detransform back to her civilian form of Tomoe Hotaru and as the tears in her eyes finally fell she couldn't escape the memories of what had transpired here over the course of only a years time. This had all begun with the suspicious appearance of an asteroid that was fast approaching the earth, no one thought anything of it that it would just pass by with little hindrance but they had been wrong. The asteroid hit in America and already the destruction had been great, countless lives had been lost and even more were injured or missing but when the smoke cleared the slow destruction of the earth would begin. The first to fall was the country of America, because of the already great destruction due to the impact there was little resistance from the great nation. Next was Central and South America, although they put up more of a fight the powers of darkness were still to great for them to overcome. Next were Asia, Europe, Australia, and Britain each also trying to defend their nation only to be destroyed. Last was Crystal Tokyo, Japan the one place the put up the most struggle against the darkness that called itself Chaos. The fight continued for many days the Inner Senshi, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus, created a shield around the palace to protect the royal family but one by one each fell by the sword of an enemy, their blood staining the crystal palace floor. The next to fall were Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune, in one last attempt to protect the earth and their king and queen, they used all their power to attack Chaos but it was to no avail and they were killed by their own attacks. Then it was the King and Queen's turn under the knife, King Endymion and Neo-Queen Serenity both fought bravely to protect their family, kingdom, and avenge their loved ones but it was all in vain. King Endymion was killed by Chaos and Neo-Queen Serenity used all of the power the Ginzuishou had left and in turn killed herself to save the kingdom. The last to die was Sailor Neo Moon or Chibiusa and her death was what hit Hotaru the hardest. Hotaru, as Sailor Saturn, had been fighting Chaos to defend her princess but to protect her friend Sailor Neo Moon demanded that Hotaru run and escape while she could for the memory of Crystal Tokyo must live on. When she refused, Neo Moon used the Ginzuishou's power to teleport Hotaru away from the battle and as soon as Hotaru had reappeared a good distance away she felt a rip in her heart and she knew Chibiusa was dead. "Why is fate so cruel that it has to destroy all we worked to achieve?" Hotaru asked herself but all that meet her answer was the sound of her own sobs. As she cried Hotaru felt a hand on her shoulder and when she looked up she saw Sailor Pluto standing there a look of remorse and heartbreak on her face. "Setsuna-mama!" wailed Hotaru as she stood and threw her arms around the Time Guardian and Sailor Pluto held the small senshi as both women cried in sorrow and loss. "Come Hotaru we cannot stay here and remain safe we must go to the time gates." Said Pluto her voice shaky due to her crying and Hotaru gladly followed as Pluto led her away to the time gates. "Why Setsuna-mama? Why couldn't we stop this?" Said Hotaru when she and Pluto reached the Time Gates "As cruel as it may seem Hotaru it was fate, I knew since I first became Time Guardian that Crystal Tokyo would be destroyed. I wanted to tell all of you but because it is forbidden of me to reveal the future I couldn't." said Pluto as she looked away and tried to keep the tears from falling again. "I don't blame you Pluto no one could, you couldn't reveal to us what was coming. I blame the one who did this and destroyed my life as well as the lives of my friends." Said Hotaru and Pluto turned to her with a grateful look. "What are you going to do now? You can't go back to Earth." Said Pluto "No I can't, as far as I'm concerned there is no more earth." Said Hotaru with a sad look. "So where are you going to go?" asked Pluto "Wherever I'm needed I guess, you have any ideas Setsuna-mama?" asked Hotaru and Pluto gave a sad smile to the smaller woman. "I do know somewhere you can go for they will need some help in the coming future." Said Pluto "Where?" asked Hotaru "The planet itself is called Earth, but it is not like the earth we knew it's more of a parallel universe I guess you could say." Said Pluto as she waved her staff causing a door to appear. Next she turned to Hotaru and with a wave of her staff Hotaru's appearance changed, her hair was the same length but now it had purple streaks and she was taller now, about the same height as Makoto when she was 14. She also now had a few mores curves so to speak, "You will land just outside a city called Nibelheim and from there, it's up to you." Said Pluto as the gate opened. "Wait will I be able to communicate with you if I need to?" asked Hotaru and Pluto placed a key around her neck with a firefly pendant next to it. "Use the key to return here and the pendant will allow you to talk to me whenever you need or want." Said Pluto "Thank you Pluto I only wish this had been different." said Hotaru "We all do and I only wish for you to try to forget and be happy in this new world." Said Pluto but then her expression turned serious. "Also do NOT tell anyone about who you are or where you are from until the time is right." Said Pluto "But how will I know when the time is right?" asked Hotaru "You will know I promise now go." Said Pluto and with one sad look back and one memory of the world that had been her true home Hotaru stepped through the doors to a new life. And a new adventure.
Sailor Silence: So what did you think?
Hotaru: I LOVED IT!
Muse: Well I have to admit it's better then some of your earlier works.
Sailor Silence: HAHAHAHA Muse you just admitted that you'd liked it!
Muse:..
Hotaru: Anyway don't forget to review, as this is just the beginning!
Sailor Silence: And I don't know if I'll continue it I'll have to decide.
Muse: Please for heaven's sake just review!
Sailor Silence/Hotaru: SHUT UP MUSE!!!
Muse: Be afraid! Be VERY afraid!!!!
Hotaru: Oh shut up muse
