Recarnation, Part One
Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I did not make up the Sailor Senshi's, they belong to Naoko
and everybody else associated with the right. Some of the Inner's name
are made by Aurora Eos Rose and used with premission.
This is my own version of the death of the Senshis. Traditonal
Senshi/General pairing. If you like the anime-pairings, I'd suggest
you do not read this. No flames, please.

Rumbling filled my ears, and I woke up, sweating, from a nightmare
filled with blood and children dying while I stood helpless by. A scream
sounded from outside, and I slipped out of my bed like lightning to check
out the commotion. As a warrior and commander-in-chief of the Silver
Alliance, it was my duty to ensure its peace and prosperity. Suddenly, the
ground shook beneath me, and I put a hand on the wall to steady myself.
The marble doors wobbled, the palace trembled, and the planet groaned. I
felt a sadistic smile graze my lips.
*A bit unlike Haruka's1 World Shaking,*
I thought to myself, remembering the arrogant, blond senshi of the skies.
*I could use some of her power right now. One earthquake might diminish
another.*
Now I laughed at my own bizarre thoughts. A boulder falling from the
roof brought me out of my reverie, and I raced into the hallway. Shards of glass
cut into my bare feet, but I didn't dare to stop. Only one thought replaced all
the previous ones. *Victoria* I had to find her. My first obligation in life is
to protect her, ensure her safety, a duty where failure was not an option. Nothing
is more important than her happiness and well-being, not my planet, not my life,
not my love, not even my very soul. I cast my mind around for her aura, searching
for her. She was in the throne-room.
~Vicky? Are you hurt?~.
My mind-speech was tingled with pink as her voice answered.
~No, I'm fine. Ame and Lena are both with me, and Endymion just arrived.~.
~Good, I'll be right there.~
I replied, wondering why the prince was here for a brief moment, before
leaving her mind, and continued on my way. Halfway there, I met my second-in-command,
the hi no senshi and my best friend, Rhia. As the more powerful of the group, we both
were also gifted with the power of sensing auras, and thus had volunteered to take the
two wings farthest from the throne room as the palace's first line of defense. The
auras we usually felt were the ones of our friends, bright as stars in the midnight sky,
but now, darkness assailed our senses. Quickening our pace, we burst into the throne
room just as another quake destabilized the palace. Selene's face had aged by thirty
years, and her warm eyes were worried.
"Marianne, Rhiannon," she acknowledge us, before directly stating the problem.
"Beryl attacked us not two hours ago. They've already breached two of our shields, and
it won't be long until the last one falls. Endymion is only one of Earth who is alive
and had not gone over to the dark side."
She signed, and we stood frozen in shock. We'd been expecting war for three months
ever since that witch Beryl lead earth into revolt, but we'd never expected them to be this
strong. Another vision filled my mind, a vision with silver hair and gunmetal gray eyes.
If Endymion was the only one alive and faithful, than Kunzite would have to be dead. Selene's
voice broke through my heartbreak.
"I want the four of you to go outside and protect the citizens."
"Iie!"
my cry of protest mingled with my friends'.
"Please, your Majesty," Amelia implored, "it would be too easy for Beryl to attack
Vicky while we're gone. We simply cannot risk her safety. We're staying; Beryl has to kill
us first to harm her. We're not leaving her unprotected!"
Victoria slowly stepped towards us, her child-like innocence gone from her face to
be replaced by pure steel, and the crescent moon flashing on her forehead.
"I second my mother. The residents are important, and you'll save more than just
two lives. Besides, the people have no protection whatsoever, but mother and I, we have our
last-minute defenses."
Madgelena's eyes were begging:
"But Vicky ..."
"That's a royal command!"
I stared at her in shock; never had she ever used that tone before, and none of her
requests had ever been a command. I glanced at her cold features and hard eyes, and knew
there was nothing I could do to change her mind. This wasn't Victoria anymore, this
was the future queen of our kingdom whose compassion and kindness surpasses the
heavens. Reluctantly, I raised my hand in the air, and shouted in a voice ringing
with my magic,
"Venus Crystal Power!"
I closed my eyes, letting the ancient power caress me, rush over me, and soothe
me, as the essences of love and beauty filled my body. I opened my eyes to see my friends
attired similarly as myself.
"Now go, quickly."
Victoria urged. Before reaching the doors, I cast one look back at my princess,
hoping in my heart that it wouldn't be the last. As soon as I left the throne-room, the
others turned to me. Rhiannon raised an eyebrow.
"Orders?"
I thought for a moment, before issuing my command.
"Get as close to Beryl as possible, but don't try to fight her yourself,
she's too powerful. If you know her whereabouts, contact the rest of us. As it is,
kill as many minions as you can, and try to save energy. Don't unnecessary endanger
the citizens; stay on the battlefield and out of the villages. Got it?"
I snapped, letting the warrior in me take command, and I could tell from
the looks on Lena's face that my eyes had turned golden: a sign that I would be totally
lacking in mercy during the battle.
"Hai!"
the three girls chorused. Ame's face was determined, Lena's was filled with
impatience, and Rhia's eyes were smoldering. I felt an ill calm serenity wash over me,
a certain feeling that signaled danger. I smiled quickly at the others, before rushing
out of the palace and into the fray.

but it was written in a different document type that fanfiction.net upload didn't
know. So I've split it up into chapters. Please review and tell me what you think.
