Ryoko: Just to clear things up a little. This is set in the
R series, but with a couple of MAJOR differences.
Aeris: First of all, Rini did take the future crystal, but that's not what
caused everything to happen.
Ryoko: Second, the Outer scouts are in it, but they don't help out with Wiseman
and all the others. And the Inner Scouts know about the future already.
Aeris: Another thing is. Whenever something is mentioned about Crystal Tokyo
the enemies are from the R series, but it's set after the Starlight series.
Ryoko: Confusing? It will get cleared up.
Disclaimer: Both: We don't own Sailor Moon. Megera belongs to Asuka (used with
permission). Sailor Crystal and Athena belong to us.

Chapter 3
Arrival of Sailor Crystal
A half an hour later found Amy and Aurora walking down the street.
"How do you know Rini?"
Aurora doesn't respond. She was thinking about Crystal Tokyo and thinking about
the destruction that had been caused.
Aurora, you need to answer her.
Aurora lifts her head up to look at Amy. She's shocked to see the girl smiling
at her.
"Promise not to freak?"
"I promise."
"Rini's my sister."
Amy looks shocked, but true to her word she doesn't freak.
"You came back from the future?"
Aurora nods. Athena jumps down from the wall she had been walking along and nudges Aurora's cheek.
"Rini came back to get the silver crystal to revive Crystal Tokyo and be
named Queen or that's what I think."
Didn't Rini die?
"That's what I thought until I saw her."
Amy gets down on her knees and takes the girl into her arms. Aurora breaks down
crying into the girl's shoulder as she remembers how painfully the future
scouts died, then her mother and father. She had seen two of the scouts died
and knew that was how everybody else suffered. Amy stands up with Aurora in her
arms. Athena looks up at Aurora with her pale purple eyes.
"I miss everybody! I miss Megera!"
Aurora cries into Amy's shoulder.
Maybe we should keep going.
Amy nods and both keep walking. Aurora eventually cries herself to sleep.
Athena continues walking alongside Amy, wishing she could help her longtime
friend. On top of the wall next to them, a black cat is walking. She looks down
and looks at Amy.
"Athena, what happened in Crystal Tokyo?"
From what Aurora told me, an enemy came while Aurora was away and started
the destruction. First Rini and the Outer Guard died. Yes even Saturn died.
Aurora was devastated. Saturn and Neptune were one of her best friends. Next to
go were the Inner Guard and her father. By that time Aurora was pleading with
Pluto to let her go back in time. Only when she got knocked unconscious and her
mother died, did Pluto agreed.
"What let the enemy's come in?"
Aurora went in to see the Inner Guard and when she left she stole a crystal
from Guardian Mars. Only a couple days later did it start.
Around Aurora's neck, a red crystal is dangling on a gold chain. On the wall,
the cat continues watching them.
Amy, are you Sailor Mercury?
Amy nods and the cat jumps down onto Athena's back. Athena rears and neighs,
frightened. The cat jumps onto Athena's head and bends over to look into
Athena's eyes.
Luna! Don't do that!
"What are you doing here?" Amy asks.
"What else? Watching you guys." Luna answers.
They continue walking. Eventually they reach Serena's house. Aurora is still
asleep, but as she hears Rini's voice she wakes up. She turns her head and Rini
looks at her.
"Aurora?"
"Rini?"
Amy lets Aurora go and the two sisters hug each other.
"I thought you had gotten killed."
"I thought you had gotten caught."
Diana jumps onto Rini's head and Luna jumps onto Serena's shoulder.
"Is Michelle and Hotaru here?"
Rini nods and takes Aurora out into the city. Serena, Amy, and Athena smile.
"It feels nice to see Rini so happy."
"Did she ever tell you see had a sister?"
Serena nods.
"Yea, but she thought she had gotten caught."
Back with Rini and Aurora, the pale blue-eyed girl is looking at all the
stores. Rini is watching her, smiling.
"Why do you want to see Michelle and Hotaru?"
"Because in the future they died while I was away."
Aurora stops suddenly and the crystal around her neck glows.
"Aurora?"
"Somebody's watching us."
Rini looks around, but sees nobody. Aurora takes Rini's hand and runs further
down the street.
"Aurora! Who was it?"
Aurora stops.
"Somebody from the future."
Rini gasps.
"Ones that attacked Mama?"
Aurora nods and looks around.
"I want to see Pluto, but...."
"Aurora! Look out!"
Aurora lifts her head up, then screams out in pain as a dark energy ball hits
her in the chest.
"AURORA!" Rini and Diana scream in unison.
The red crystal around Aurora's neck glows a fiery red color. Rini covers her
eyes as the glowing surrounds Aurora. After the glowing stops, Rini uncovers
her eyes and gasps. Aurora has transformed into a sailor scout. She still looks
the same expect that she looks older. The outfit is mostly silver. The skirt is
white with a silver lining and her knee-length boots are silver also. The
jumpsuit is white and the front bow is a glittering red as is the back bow on
the skirt. Her elbow-length gloves have a silver lining also. Around Aurora's
neck is a silver chocker with a crescent moon in the middle, but near the
middle of the front bow, a gold chain is hanging a red crystal. Her hair is
longer and thinner and the silver tints are brighter. In the cones are red gems
and on her ears are crescent moon earrings. On her forehead is a crescent moon.
On her back, pink wings are shimmering brightly. In her hand is a staff with a
crescent moon on the tip is glowing slightly.
"Aurora?"
Aurora turns her head towards Rini, smiling.
"Hello Rini. I am Sailor Crystal."
Her voice is soft and has a familiar ring to it.
"So, Crystal. You've finally made an appearance."
Crystal turns her head as a familiar figure appears. Rini cowers back in fear
and Crystal steps in front of her.
"What do you want, Diamond?"
"I've come for you and the Rabbit."
Chapter 4
Diamond's Turn
Crystal puts her staff in front of her and Rini latches herself onto Crystal's wings.
"Over my dead body."
"That can be arranged."
Diamond smiles and Crystal scowls.
"But first I want you to suffer."
Rini looks out from behind Crystal and both girls gasp. In spheres of energy,
two of the four Outer Scouts are laying, eyes closed and pale.
"How dare you capture Princess Saturn and Princess Neptune!"
"So you know them? Good. Hand over the crystal and I'll let them go."
Crystal's gloved hand goes up to the crystal around her neck.
"Drop dead. I know how you work. You'll betray me and kill everyone I know
and love, just like you did in Crystal Tokyo!"
Diamond's eyes flash with recognition. Crystal grabs Rini and flaps her wings.
She flies up into the sky and Diamond growls.
"Oh no you don't."
He fires a dark energy blast at Crystal. It hits her back and she cries out in
pain as she drops Rini. Crystal falls limp as a sphere encases her. Rini
screams her sister's name as she lands on Athena's back. Athena's horn is
glowing and she's stamping her left forefoot.
Rini, where's he taking her?
"I don't know."
Diamond, Michelle, Hotaru, and Crystal disappear and Athena looks saddened.
What will we do?
Rini doesn't answer.
***
Two hours later, Aurora wakes up. Her back is hurting and so is her head.
"Thanks Pluto. I owe you."
Aurora lifts her head up and notices something that fills her with great
sadness. In front of her she sees a hologram of the destroyed Crystal Tokyo.
She walks forward and puts her hands on the edges of the hologram.
"I want to go home! I want to repair the damage I caused!"
Images of Crystal Tokyo fill her head and she steps back. She grabs the crystal
as a crescent moon appears on her forehead.
"So you really are Serenity's heir."
Aurora steps back as the hologram forms into Diamond.
"What do you want? I never did anything to you."
"True, but your mother did. She isolated me on Nemesis."
Aurora's crescent moon disappears and she smiles.
"You've been following the wrong person."
Aurora steps forward and puts her fingertips on Diamond's arm. He flinches
under her touch, but doesn't move away.
"Where's Sapphire?"
"He's with Emerald."
Aurora looks up at Diamond and smiles happily. Diamond is shocked.
"Hehe. Come on Uncle Diamond."
Aurora jumps onto Diamond's back and he stumbles under the sudden weight
change.
"Uncle? You're suppose to fear me."
"No. You're being mislead Diamond."
Diamond turns his head to look at Aurora and is even more shocked to see her
smiling again. He returns her smile and Aurora laughs. The dark crescent moon
on his forehead disappears and Aurora's crystal gives a slight glow. Both
Diamond's and Aurora's faces become grave.
"What have you done you Princess Neptune and Princess Saturn?"
"Their fine. Come on."
Aurora jumps down and Diamond leads her to a room. Both Michelle and Hotaru are
sitting on the ground talking, but Hotaru looks younger then in the future.
Aurora's face lights up and she laughs. Both girls are so wound up in talking,
they don't notice the two watchers. Diamond takes Aurora out of the room and smiles
at the eight year old's happiness.
"Diamond! Prince Diamond!"
The crescent moon reappears on Diamond's forehead and he grabs Aurora, who
let's out a startled scream.
"Play along." He hisses in her ear.
Aurora nods and a green haired woman appears.
"Prince Diamond. Wiseman wishes to see you. Who's that? She's not the
Rabbit."
Aurora's pale blue eyes and silver tints made her stand out from Rini.
"She's the Rabbit's sister."
Aurora notices that Diamond is covering the crystal around her neck.
"Will Wiseman accept her?"
At that, Aurora looks scared. Emerald smirks and disappears.
"What will we do, Diamond?"
"Transform into Crystal and I'll take you to him."
Diamond notices her shudder in his hold.
"I hate him. He's the one who almost killed Athena."
Aurora thinks back to that time in Crystal Tokyo where she was alone and
Wiseman attacked.
Flashback
A girl is running down an alley. The sound of hooves hitting the ground reaches
her ears and she stops. A pegasus runs up beside her. Dirt is covering most of
her body and her wings look broken. The girl gestures for the pegasus to follow
her and both run off. The girl and horse keep running until they reach a
street. A cloaked figure is floating above them. The pegasus stamps her paw and
the girl cowers back.
"Well if it isn't Serenity's youngest heir."
Aurora, run.
"No! I can't!"
The pegasus turns her head and noses the girl. The girl has tears running down
her cheek as she realizes what the pegasus is doing for her.
Aurora, run! If you die, Crystal Tokyo is lost.
Aurora turns and runs off, leaving Athena to battle on her own.
End flashback.
"When I found her, she was near death. Only my crystal saved her."
During the telling of the flashback, she had transformed and her and Diamond
were talking towards where Wiseman was.
"Can you hide your crystal?"
Crystal nods and waves her hand over the crystal. It molds it's self into the
middle of the front bow. Both continue walking until they encounter a door.
"He's going to recognize me."
Diamond frowns and opens the door. Wiseman turns around and his eyes glow
white.
"So, Diamond you finally show up."
Wiseman's eyes flicker to Crystal, who holds her staff to the side.
"Who is this?"
"Her name is Sailor Crystal."
Wiseman holds his crystal ball out and Crystal feels a sudden coldness in her
body.
"Athena! What have you done to her?"
Crystal's staff glows with her sudden anger.
Chapter 5
Diamond's Death and Crystal's Capture
"I knew I recognized you." Wiseman says.
Crystal turns her head. Diamond steps up in front of her and Crystal looks at
him. Anger is still in her for what Wiseman did to the young pegasus, but fear
for what Wiseman will do to Diamond is slowly setting in. Outside, two figures
are looking in through a crack in the door.
"She looks like Rini." One says.
"Maybe it's her sister." The other says.
Back in with Diamond, Crystal, and Wiseman, a battle has begun to rage. Diamond
and Wiseman are facing off with each other and Crystal is standing back
watching, fearful. Diamond is starting to lose the battle and Wiseman is
showing no sign of remorse or slowing down.
"Diamond! No!" Crystal screams as a black spear slices through
Diamond's stomach.
He falls to the floor and Crystal runs towards him, throwing her staff to the
side. She gets down on her knees beside the former dark prince and shakes him
gently.
"Diamond. Please wake up. Diamond."
Diamond opens his eyes and gives a slight smile.
"Crystal. As Serenity's youngest heir. I know you can beat him. Tell your
mother…I loved her…"
"Diamond, please don't die on me."
He smiles again before he let's out a sigh and his hand goes limp in hers.
"Diamond."
She lets go of his hand and stands up.
"How could you kill own of your own?"
"He was weak and he was a fool."
Crystal growls loudly, but before she can attack, black vines appear and wrap
around her ankles, wrists, waist, neck, and wings.
"Now Aurora, you and the crystal are mine."
"You'll have to kill me first."
Crystal growls though her supply of air is getting cut off as the vines tighten.
Crystal starts gasping for air as Wiseman's crystal ball glows.
"I could easily kill you now, but I won't."
"You...will...never...win." Crystal gasps before she goes limp.
Her transformation reverses leaving Aurora in her place, pale and lifeless. Outside,
one of the two figures eyes widen.
"Rini showed me a picture of her. She's her younger sister."
The other girl looks at Aurora, then at the first girl with royal blue eyes.
"Can't we help her?"
"No, she has a reason to be here."
