Age of Pices, Time of Love

by Lost Book

Prologue: When The Future Dies

The story of Sailor Moon is well known. One fateful morning on her way to school, Bunny Tsukino steps upon a black cat. Removing the Band-Aid from the cats head, she begins a story like no other.

Thanks to the cat, now known as Luna, Bunny learns of her destiny to become the legendary warrior Sailor Moon. Fighting evil in the name of love and justice; Bunny, with the help of Luna, quickly awakens three other scouts and meets with a fourth awakened on her own.

With the help of her fellow scouts and her true love Prince Endymion, Bunny defeats the evil forces set upon the earth by the enemy.

Unfortunately for the fate of this world, that never happened.

The sun shone brightly on Monday morning. The rain of the previous night now only reminiscent in the soft dew. A black cat with an odd crescent moon mark quietly wandered the streets. The cats name was Luna, and she was searching determinedly for the person who could save the world from the growing forces of darkness.

* I must find Sailor Moon quickly,* thought Luna. *Quickly or else it will be to late. To late for all of the world, if the enemy has their way.* She trundled along, as fast as her small cat legs could carry her. She had an idea as to where she could begin investigating, if what she had already had sensed was true.

Stepping off the curb, deep into her thoughts about how she must awaken the only one truly capable of saving the world, Luna never even realized the car coming until it was to late.

And then, she died.

ONE MONTH LATER

"Crescent Beam!" Mina Aino aka Sailor Venus shouted, her breath coming in shallow gasps. The rain poured furiously down on her and the Enemy. She collapsed onto her knees, her hands shaking on the wet pavement.

Jadeite snickered, watching her pitiful attack flash lightly past him. "Come come now is that the best you can do? Surely a 'protector of love and justice' should be able to at least hit me hmmm? Or maybe I should just kill you, take this city's energy, and report back to Queen Beryl..." He smirked at her, silently debating which attack would be best to finish her off with.

Mina desperately tried to gather her energy, either for another attempt at attacking Jadeite, or for dodging when his inevitable counterstrike came. For the past hour she and Jadeite had been locked in a determined battle. But he had gained energy from both the people of the city of whom he had stole it, and from the few of his evil minions that Mina hadn't yet been able to dispatch. And as for Mina... well she was fighting alone. She had only her own powers to call on. Even Artemis wasn't there, he hadn't yet returned from his most recent search for Luna before the enemy had attacked. Mina stood shakily "Crescent--"

"FLAME OF DARKNESS"

As Jadeite's attack bore down on her, Mina had time only to think of one thing before the darkness took her: *Goodbye Artemis...*

LB: Well it certainly does feel good to be writing once again. I haven't posted anything for a while. Oh, and this chapter is short because it's just a prologue, the next one will be longer.

Please Note: I take my names from the Manga, So that's why its Bunny and not Serena. I can be persuaded to change it to Usagi though I suppose. Also I do need a beta… And I'll repost this if a lot of errors are found.

On that note, feedback is greatly appreciated so please review. Even if you just want to say hey….
