This should be interesting. It's The Phantom Menace with gigantic, totally
original Sailor Moon twist. I have sickly mutilated George Lucas's ideas,
combined them with Naoko's characters and come up with my very first
fanfiction. (That's my disclaimer, I don't own them!)
Here are the CURRENT ages of the CURRENT characters that will change quite frequently throughout the story:
Serena (Princess Serenity): 7 years old Qui-Gon Jinn: 37 years old Obi-Wan Kenobi: 13 years old Yoda: God only knows!
Last time:
He set the star-cruiser's landing controls to autopilot and decided to meditate on the matter while he waited to land.
Chapter 1: A Distant Moon
An hour or so later the jedi master was brought out of his meditative trance by a gentle thump followed by a beeping from the control panel that signified a successful landing. As he exited the cockpit of the star cruiser he couldn't help but shiver and tighten his grip on his light saber as he was assaulted by a barrage of dark energy that seemed to radiate off the moon in waves. He felt as though he was being smothered in a pit of pain and despair.
He took in his surroundings and gasped at the sight that met him. Bodies littered the ground of what appeared to be the remains of a once thriving metropolis (big words). The walls of buildings were barely standing and small fires dotted the shell-shocked landscape.
Qui-Gon opened his mind and searched for any life signs amongst the debris. At first all he could sense was emptiness, but then, when he was about to give up, there it was! It started out very faint, and he almost mistook it for an echo, but as he pushed his senses even harder with the force, it became stronger and stronger. He was amazed by the amount of force energy this individual life form was putting off. It was more then he had ever sensed from any jedi, even Master Yoda. It was as if this life form was actually made completely of the force. It was a pulsing mass of light energy that seemed to radiate purity and love in the midst of the dark energy surrounding it.
He had to find whatever or whoever was emitting such a strong force signature. He began walking towards the source and was about to round a corner when he heard it. It sounded like someone crying, a soft sobbing that told a story of heart-wrenching sadness and loss.
Cautiously he peered around the corner. The sight before him made Qui- Gon's blood run cold. Bodies were strewn everywhere, bloody and battle- ravaged, and there in the center was the source of the sobbing and the immense force signature. He was shocked to see it was a tiny girl who couldn't have been more then 6 or 7 years old. She appeared to be clinging to one of the corpses and it was that which he sensed was causing her greatest pain of all.
Quietly he crept towards her trembling figure. When he was only a few feet away, the sobbing ceased and the girl looked up at him, fixing him with a piercing stare that seemed to penetrate the jedi's very soul. As he took a closer look, he noticed the amazing resemblance the girl had with the woman in her arms, and guessed that they must have been related. They shared the same silvery hair and both had it tied in an unusual hairstyle. He also noticed they both had identical marks on their foreheads that resembled upturned crescent moons.
The girl seemed to notice his curiosity about the state of the moon, and he looked at her intently as she began to speak. "The bad man was here," she began in a hushed tone, "He did this." Qui-Gon was intrigued and said, "What bad man?" "I'm not s'posed to talk with strangers. Mommy said so." Was her only reply and he noticed the silent tears still pouring from her silver eyes as she glanced down at the corpse that lay before her. Speaking in a soothing voice Qui-Gon murmured,
"Well I wouldn't want mommy to be upset. Let me introduce myself. My name is Qui-Gon Jinn and yours is?" She hesitated before nodding and standing. "I'm Princess Serenity, but my friends call me Serena." She announced curtsying. He bowed and said, "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Beginning again he said, "Now that I'm not a stranger, I was wondering if you could tell me what happened here?" She looked up at him for a moment, seemingly debating whether or not to tell him. After some time had passed she began.
Serena's POV
//I was outside looking at the pretty flowers when I didn't feel to well. I came to tell mommy and I heard her yelling for the guards. Then she was yelling at the bad man, telling him to leave. I didn't like him he made my head hurt. He took out this red light sword and started attacking everyone. There was lots of banging from outside and people yelling. I was scared and hid behind the door. After lotsa time it was quiet and when I looked, the bad man was gone..." she trailed off sadly and the tears made there way down her face again. //
Then, as quickly as the tears had come, they stopped and she looked up at him with a brilliant smile that made it seem as if she was only really looking at him for the first time and exclaimed excitedly, "I knew you were coming. You were s'posed to come. I like you. I'm a s'posed to go with you!"
Qui-Gon sat down trying to process everything he had just heard. 'Maybe Master Yoda can make some sense of this.' He thought as he turned towards an expectant Serena. "I have a friend who I would like you to meet. Come back to the jedi temple with me and will figure this mess out." "Okay." she shrugged, and jumped into his arms.
Qui-Gon kept a tight grip on her tiny form as he began picking his way through the destruction towards his ship. He felt her breathing slow and peered down at her, only to witness her sleeping in his arms. To his dismay, she had started to cry again and there were tears making their way across her cheeks. He was careful not to wake her as he gently set her down in the co-pilots chair.
As he took of and prepared the ship for a light speed jump, he couldn't help but notice, the moon had lost the magical glow that it had previously emitted.
