Hey everyone! I know I should be working on my other story, but (whacks head) I couldn't help it. ^-^
Now, just some things you need to know, there is going to be no Usagi here. Now, I like Usagi, but I feel there are just so many fics with her out there that the other scouts probably feel a little neglected so this story is going to focus a lot on the inner scouts, with some guest appearances from the outer scouts.
If you feel in the slightest bit confused about this story, just tell me and I'll explain it…my beta reader, violentdelight007, help me a lot on this story, (but I did all the work, she just came up with the occasional really good idea that helped a lot but don't tell her that. ^_^!

Tuono SanguinanteChapter 1: L'Inizio
Makoto watched dully as rain splattered against the window.
Usually she loved thunderstorms, a thunderstorm itself was enough to cheer her right up, but today it failed to do the trick, instead, it just made her feel worse.
It was today, today was the fifteen-year anniversary of the end, when everyone in the world saw last of the Sailor Soldiers.
The timer rang in the kitchen, as always, Makoto took out the chocolate chip cookies that she had been baking, and as usual they were perfect, browned to perfection.
Putting the cookies on a cooling rack, Makoto took off her bright green and blue muffs, and placed them on the kitchen counter before going to her bedroom/gym.
Holding up a wooden staff, Makoto began her warm-up routine, going through a verity of movements, all demanding fluidity and top form.
Sweating, but not tired, she preceded to attack invisible enemy, jabbing here and there, and leaping back to avoid invisible thrusts.
Soon sweat poured from her body as the time passed, her muscles beginning to ache from the hard work-out.
Finally when tiredness began to seep into her mind, Makoto stopped the strenuous workout and began to cool down.
Checking her watch, Makoto was surprised to see how late it had become. She often lost track of time when training in her room.
Taking a quick shower to refresh and changing into some comfy pyjamas, Makoto quickly whipped together a supper and sat down in front of the TV to watch some mushy romance movie while eating her now cold chocolate chip cookies.
"A Message in a Bottle...hmm...sounds interesting...." Makoto said to herself as she settled down to watch the movie.
*~*~*~* 2 and 1/2 hours later *~*~*~*
"I'm going to kill that guy! *Sniff* Right after I finishing crying!" Makoto cried, as the ending credits of the movie had long passed and a wad of tissues had nearly covered the floor beside her.
*sniff* "I knew my story was depressing, my soul mate being possessed, killing me against his will, us being reborn, and me just missing him before he's killed, then me dieing again, and again, and again, for Usagi and Crystal Tokyo, which now won't happen because Usagi isn't here, and now...now. I'm all alone...*sniff* in this world *sob* and….no boyfriend! But to do that! that to some poor reporter and sailor guy!"
Makoto blew hard into her very used tissue before wadding it into a ball and throwing it square into the waste basket.
"The cruelty of it! *sniff*"
"Makoto! Are you there?"
Makoto looked down as her pink communicator was flashing with the red signal button.
Flipping it open she saw Ami's distraught face staring back at her.
"Oh, you saw that movie too?" Makoto asked.
Ami's face became confused.
"Uh...movie? No...something else...listen, emergency Scout Meeting at Raye's, you must get there quickly." Ami said before turning the communicator off again.
"Emergency? About what? No one has attacked for over fifteen years." Makoto said to herself, before quickly transforming.
"SAILOR JUPITER MAKE-UP!"
Makoto closed her eyes as power rushed through her body, green leaves and black mist encompassed her body before releasing her and revealing Sailor Jupiter, all in a flash to the normal eye.
Out of the window in a flash, Sailor Jupiter sped past pedestrians and cars, reaching Raye's Temple in a matter of seconds.
'Being a sailor scout did have its advantages of being extremely fast and super strong.' Jupiter thought to herself, smiling as she had beaten Venus to the site by a matter of nanoseconds.
"So what was the emergency? I had to cancel a violin session because of you!" Venus/Mina complained staring grumpily at Mercury/Ami.
Sailor Mars/Raye stood behind Ami, leaning against the temple wall.
"This was important."
In Mercury's hand held the Time Staff of Pluto.
Instantly everyone groaned.
"Don't tell me, it's something to do with time...right?" Jupiter asked wearily.
Ami nodded.
"It's best if we go in and have a briefing time."
Everyone detransformed and walked into the temple and sat down in their respective places around Raye's room, Ami in the desk chair, Minako on the bed, Raye cross-legged on the floor, and Makato cross-legged on the floor.
"So what's this about Ami?" Minako asked.
Ami cleared her throat for the long speech.
"As you all know, when we were killed after the last battle, something went wrong with the rebirth process.
A miscalculation of pure chance occurred and we were reborn, without Serena, even more, the Inner Scouts and the Outer Scouts became one, I am Sailor Pluto as well and Sailor Mercury, Minako is Sailor Neptune as well as Sailor Venus, Raye is Sailor Uranus as well as Sailor Mars, and Makoto is Sailor Saturn as well as Sailor Jupiter. This not only increased our power and abilities, it changed our personalities slightly, and we regained all our past live memories.
As Guardian of the Gate of Time, I have been watching over the Time Gate, but you know me, I had to learn some science behind it. I began to realize that there are alternate dimensions with hundreds of thousands of portals unknown to anyone, except who was watching over them.
I have been talking to a few, and one of those people, whom I trust completely with my life, has asked for help, and I said I would have to ask you, but I'm hoping you all will agree, seeing as it will help us understand our magical abilities even better." Ami finished a little out of breathe, her eyes seeming to plead for everyone to understand and help.
"Will it take long?" Minako asked, checking her watch. "I have an audition for a movie in a week and I need to prepare."
Makoto smiled. She knew Minako would be the first to ask something like that.
"Since I do wield Time, essentially, I can bring us back the same day we
leave." Ami smiling.
Makoto stood up, her henshin pen in her hand.
"I see no reason why not. I've been getting bored lately, and having an adventure just might do the trick to relieving it." She stated grinning at the group, her mind wandering back to the last time she had a decent date.... which was quite a long time ago and something she didn't want to think about.
Rei rolled her eyes. "Well I got nothing better to do." She grumbled, a smile betraying her words as she pulled out her henshin pen.
All three looked at Mina.
"What? WHAT? You mean me too! More school!" Mina pouted, relenting at the group's stares, she got up.
"Fine. But if I'm late for my movie interview I'm holding you all responsible!" Mina said, standing up and holding out her henshin pen.
"Great! Thanks you guys, now, everyone, hold out your henshin pens, but don't transform, it'll create interference for the warp hole I'm creating." Ami instructed, her face turning to stone as she wordlessly transformed into Sailor Pluto.
Swirls of water and dark green mist encompassed Ami's body as she transformed.
Soon, Ami, now in Sailor Pluto's colours stood before them, with the Time Staff. Her hair had turned a darker greenish blue, and longer. Her eyes seemed to turn colours between blue and green, never staying the same, both colours melding and turning in time.
"Stand back." Ami said monotone as she held the Time Staff out, directly at Raye's Bed.
Makoto watched as Ami began chanting monotone in a language that seem familiar, but not quite, the words seeming to disappear into the air as she spoke.
'Wow.'
The thought spoke out in her mind as Makoto watched the fabric of time and dimension shift before her eyes. Soon the bed and wall seemed to become a pale image on a television screen, the other dimension almost visual, but not quite. Ami's strained voice broke through Makoto's thoughts.
"Guys, you have to go through it now, I ca-can't hold it much longer!" Ami said, her face paling visibly as her struggled to keep the gate open with her energy.
Quickly Minako, and Raye ran through. Makoto hesitated a second before running after them.
And into the darkness beyond.
