******* Life of the Ultimate Sailor Moon ********
Chapter 2: Asteroids and Lexell Make Their Apperance
Kardia Serenity held her head high as she walked through the palace. The usual smile that graced her face was now a frown, but still, all her elegancy and beauty could be seen in her. She wore her usual dress and her hair pulled up into her heart odangos. She reached the main palace doors that led to the court yard. The guards bowed to her as they quickly made way to open which stand in her way.
Kardia gracfully swept past the men and stepped outside. She stood on a flight of concret stairs, kind of like a balcany above the front yard. Down the stairs was a path, that winded its way through the many trees and out of site, to the main gates that surrounded the palace. The lawn was vast as it spread out to cover everything in eyes sight. Many trees lined the path to the gate, and few trees were scattered here and there, some baring fruit, some just leaves.
Using all the concentration she could muster, she willed her mind to expand. She did not want to transform if she didn't have to. She wanted to try it this way first. And she was susseccful. The image of her Cosmos Staff seperated itself from her mind and became phyical in form. It floated rightly before her. She opened her eyes with a slight smile and took hold of her precious weapon.
The guards standing by the front doors looked on in astonishment. Never before had they seen the crown princess do such a feat.
Kardia held the staff horizontal from her body. She smiled once, as she put her plan into action. She grew serious as she concentrated with even more force then before. When her will had gathered, she started her spell. "In the Heavens above, throught the galaxy, with force of power and seeds of rain, the love of which has concured, I call upon you. Come forth and aid me from which is past, the asteriod senshi of youth and laugh." She paused in her spell, giving the spell time to implicate. "Sailor Pallas! Ceres! Juno! Vesta!"
With each call of name, a light haze, color corresponding by the scout, materialized in front of her. From the blue haze, a blue haired child wearing a sailor fuku presented herself. "Sailor Pallas as come!" She bowed.
From a haze of yellow stepped out the oldest of the sisters, flowers adorned her crown. "Sailor Ceres." She bowed.
From within a haze of green, a tomboyish figure leaped, landed in a bow before the princess. "Sailor Juno."
The last of the sisters came forth from the haze of red. She inclined her head to the princess. "Sailor Vesta."
Kardia smiled at the four. She knew them from the past for a short period, when they fought Chaos. She would get to know them better this time.
"Asteriod Senshi, please rise."
Each did so, starring at Kardia, trying to place her. They had never met the current princess of the Crystal Millinium. She did, however, seem fimilar, but none knew from where.
"My name is Kardia Serenity, crowned princess of the Crystal Millinium." She looked each over in turn. They were still the same as she had remembered them. "You are the Senshi of Youth and Laugh. The Senshi who protect the Asteriod Belt between Mars and Jupiter."
"Tell us something we don't know," Juno said, surprising everyone.
Kardia looked stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her composture. "Sailor Juno, do we have a problem?"
The sailor in question stood straight. "You are more then you seem to be, Princess." She eyed her down. "You seem very familiar to us, but we can't place you. Tell us you reason for calling us out here."
Kardia laughed at this. "Oh the irony!" She wiped a tear from her cheek. The girls just watched. "You do know me, senshi. For many years ago, you aided me in the destruction of Chaos."
The eyes of all four lit up as she mentioned Choas.
"How do you know about Choas? Much of that past was kept quiet, especially are involvement!" Ceres cried.
"I know because I was there." She raised her staff and banged the end onto the pavement. A slight vibration erupted and a slight wind picked up, lifting Kardia's dress and transforming it as it travled up. She was now transformed as Sailor Cosmos.
"Cosmos!" the four girls gasped all at once. Each of them bowed down to one knee. They had great respect for Sailor Cosmos.
"Stand, please." Kardia didn't care much for the bowing treatment.
"So it has come to this time," Vesta said. "The time of your orgin."
Karida nodded. "To me, its only been a week since that awful day. To you four, it has been hundreds of years. You were there during the final battle, and put back to sleep after. You were guardians to my grandmother, Usagi Serenity after that event. But when the worlds were at peace, you went back to your planets, until you were ready to be called upon again." She paused. "I need your help, senshi."
"Of course we'll help!" Pallas cried. "We are defenders of this kingdom, and now rightfully your sailor guardians."
"Chibi-usa was our friend. She was also our princess," Juno stated. "We must protect her kin at all costs."
Karida was taken back by calling her grandmother Chibi-usa, but of course, that's what they had refered to her as, back in time. She was given her mother's earth name.
"I thank you." Kardia felt very much like an adult in her transformed state. She loved the feeling of being in charge, not looked down upon. She had power, but no one save these four and Pluto knew about it.
"Kardia!" a loud feminine voice sounded, banging through the palace doors and stopping dead in her tracks. It was Mercury. She starred at Kardia what seemed like forever. Then she noticed the AQ. "Who...?" she started. her gaze averted back to the princess. "Kardia?"
Kardia smiled with a small nod. "I am Sailor Cosmos, now."
Mercury could only stare. Her dark purple hair brushed down her back, pulled up on the sides and braided around her head to tie off in the back. Her blue eyes starred in wonder at her princess.
"And who...?" she trailed off, looking at the AQ.
"These are the the guardians of the Asteriod Belt. The same Sailors that were guardians to Queen Usagi Serenity in her youth."
"How can that be...?" Mercury was lost.
"We are the Sailors of Youth and Laugh, those that guard the Asteriod Belt in the great space between Mars and Jupiter," Vesta said. "We are guardians to the Royal Family of the Crystal Millinium."
"To the princess," a new voice said. All looked up to see the QUeen standing just outside the palace doors in all her glory. Her red tinted hair flowed down her back in spirals, her dress fitting her form to all perfection.
"Mother." Kardia had forgotten for the moment, that she was Cosmos.
"Sailor Cosmos, I presume?" the Queen asked, one eye brow rasied in question.
Kardia nodded without a smile. "This is my senshi form. I am Sailor Cosmos, guardian of all the cosmos."
The Queen nodded. "Very well. You best come inside, all of you," she said, looking over the AQ. "Winter is kicking in, and it won't do any of us good to be standing around in short skirts while there's still a chill in the air." With that she excused herself and made her way back into the palace, leaving everyone stare after her.
Silence.
"That is Chibi-usa's daughter!?" Pallas cried, unbelieving. "Why, she's rude!"
"Pallas!" Juno hissed into the blue senshi's ear.
"No. Its all right," Kardia said. She sighed, and as if one cue, she detransformed. She now stood in her dress, her Cosmos Staff in her right hand. "Mother has never really taken well with the senshi. Or with me."
The AQ looked around, not understanding.
"Maybe Serenity is right," Mercury interupted, not wanting to get rumors spreading. "We should get inside, and introduce you four to the rest of the team. We heard stories of you from our grandparents. It would be nice to hear them again, coming from those who were there."
The AQ nodded happily and followed Mercury in. Kardia was close behind, lagging in the crowed. Her weak spot was her mother. She knew she was never good enough in her eye. Kardia was a great scout, capable of things no one thought imaginable. She had helped defeat Chaos, but the one thing she could not defeat, was her mother. She didn't know why.
***
"I don't believe it," Mars said. "How can you four senshi be the guardians of our late Queen Usagi?" The fiery pristess Mars still was. Like her mother, and grandmother before her, Sailor Mars was high priestess of the Shinto Temple located on the Place grounds. Her hair flowed down her back in dark hues, red tint highlighted the beautiful senshi's figure.
"It doesn't really matter," Neptune interupted. "They are here now to help us. We should be thankful."
Mars frowned but remained quiet. She didn't like this.
"Senshi!" a great voice boomed, echoing throughout the room. King Neyma waltzed right into the room, his face lit up in smiles. "Welcome! I've heard many stories about you!" The King stopped in front of the AQ and inclined his head. "I thank you for coming."
Vesta acknowledged the King. "Your Highness..." She inclined her head as well. "We have come to serve the Princess Kardia Serenity, as we did her grandmother, Chibi-usa."
The King nodded. "Very well. I see we're doing well." He addressed the other senshi. "Good job on finding them."
"Actually," Mercury said. "Kardia summonded them."
Neyma turned to look at his daughter. Kardia sat in the corner of the room observing everyone around her. She looked up at her father with a nod.
"The AQ had helped..." she began.
"AQ?" Neyma interupted, confussed.
"Amazon Quartet, your Highness," Pallas said. "The senshi of youth and laugh."
"As I was saying," Karida said glaring at her father for the interuption. He just laughed. "They helped me fight agianst Choas. So they will be of great help in the future when Choas shows himself. Experience to somethine we need on our side. No offence Senshi," she addressed those of her court, "but we have been at peace for so long now, in this time. I don't believe there's been any real battle here, has there?"
Neyma shook his head. "We have been at peace since Usagi Serenity took the throne."
"Then the senshi now have no real experience in battles." Karida looked around to see the senshi's expressions. None looked at all too happy.
"She's right though," Saturn said, standing up. "My Grandmother was the orginal Sailor Saturn. My mother never had to fight. And I have never really had to fight. All we've had is practice. A few monsters trying to get in was about all we've had to deal with. And those were just weak rejects from the negaverse."
"Oh, My," said a soft voice. All heads turned. On the floor at Kardia's feet was a purple cat with a cresent moon on her forhead. "She's right. I didn't even think of this. What am I going to do...?" the little cat started to pace in front of the Princess.
Lexell stopped pacing, her little round head glancing up at the Asteroid Senshi. You four-" she looked around the room as if searching for someone. She sighed not seeing whoever she wanted. "And Pluto, are the only senshi in this room with experience."
"Eh Hum," Kardia coughed.
Lexell looked up at the princess. "Oh yes! I totally forgot! Your mother told me! I just forgot." She glanced back at the room. "Make that six."
No one spoke. The cat paced about the room again, stopping by the king. She looked over at Kardia. "Sailor Cosmos, is it?"
Kardia nodded. Lexell had been out of the palace when Kardia had told her story to her parents and senshi. Whatever the guardian cat knew she recieved from the QUeen.
"Do you have the Silver Crystal?" Lexell walked over to Karida and jumped into her lap. The Princess held her hand out, and with a little consentration, the crystal ball materilized in her hand.
Lexell starred into the crystal, the moon blad spot glowing a faint yellow. After a minute, Lexell broke away from her starring contest with the crystal. "Hmmm..." She sighed. She jumped down to the floor. "The crystal has lost some power." She glanced up at the Princess. "It seems to lost a quarter of its profiency." Her brow creased. "If I were to guess, I'd say it now retains the same amount of power from the Silver Millinium."
Everyone in the room sweatdropped. Lexell knew only of the stories of the Silver Millinium, like the rest of them. She was daughter of Diana, and even her own mother had not been there during that dreadfull time.
Lexell rubbed the back of her head with her paw and sweatsropped, seeing the expression on everyone's faces.
"Nevermind that. It's still powerful enough for me her to fight, isn't it?" Uranus asked.
Lexell nodded. "Of course. Just not as powerful as when she used it in the past."
The tip-tap of someone walking down the hall outside the room echoed. Voices could be heard. Everyone looked up at the door way as the Queen and Pluto entered. Pluto inclined her head to her fellow senshi.
Everyone looked up into the stern faces of the two. The Queen always had a serious face, as did Pluto. But now, she look just evil. "Choas is steering."
The King looked at his wife and her face softened somewhat. "We're in trouble, aren't we?" he asked.
Pluto took the question. "I'm sure all of you have felt a growing energy." The Senshi nodded. "It can only be Chaos. He is one step ahead of us."
Everyone's face fell, including Kardia. She glanced up at her mother. The queen was glaring her down. Kardia suddenly felt weak. Her crystal was weak, and she was weak. Anger suddenly coursed through her. Her mother never encouraged her. She never acknowledged the power Kardia had. She treated her like a little girl who couldn't do anything on her own.
Kardia stood up, determination written across her face. Everyone glanced up in surprise.
"I'm not just going to sit here and wait for him to come to us. This is our kingdom and I'm going to protect it. None of you remember the past, and how Choas defeated us. But I remember. And I'm going to stop him."
"No you not, Young Lady," her mother said, her voice stern. "You are not to leave these grounds. Let the Senshi fight. You are too weak to handle this situation. You a Princess for crying out loud."
Kardia loved her mother. But at times likes these, she also dispised her. She always backed down from an argument. She wouldn't do it anymore.
"Neo Queen Serenity was a Princess, and also Sailor Moon. Your own mother was also a senshi, but being royalty didn't stop them from fighting, did it? They fought to protect those they loved. And I will do the same."
"Do NOT talk back to me, Young Lady," her mother said, anger slowly raising.
"You know what," Karida said. Her anger had risen to the peak. "I am not your Young Lady anymore. I'm 18. An adult. A senshi! One of the greatest senshi that protects this Galaxy. I will not back down from this fight and let others do for me what I can do myself. I have a job to do. Being Queen means protecting your people." She glanced at her father. He said nothing. She turned back to her mother. "I will protect our kingdom no matter what the cost." She paused. "Get used to the idea, Mother." And with that, Kardia stormed from the room, everyone's eyes starring after her.
Kardia sighed. She hoped she had done the right thing. She was tired of always being under her mother, under the other senshi. They knew nothing of her past, only what she had told him. She would prove herself again. She had to. For her sake, and her Mothers. She had to be strong. She had to fight. Usagi Tsukino had taught her that. No matter what the costs, she would win.
*****
o.o
Where am I going with this relationship between Mother and Daughter? Lets just say the Queen is a bit overprotective of her daughter. The Queen had grown up in peacefull times, never had to become a senshi, and now she kinda envy's and worries over her daughter being one. That, and she could have lost her daughter in the past and never knew it.
As it is, I've given away too much information. There is a plot to the whole "mother/daughter" ordeal. Give me a few more chapters and I might get it out in the open. It'll be a twister to the story. ^^ If anyone has any guesses, please feel free to tell me what you think.
That is it for now. Please Bookmark me for updates. I'm going to try to get an update up every week, if I can. We'll see how things go. JA NE for now!!

I will not back down from this fight and let others do for me what I can do myself. I have a job to do. Being Queen means protecting your people." She glanced at her father. He said nothing. She turned back to her mother. "I will protect our kingdom no matter what the cost." She paused. "Get used to the idea, Mother." And with that, Kardia stormed from the room, everyone's eyes starring after her.
Kardia sighed. She hoped she had done the right thing. She was tired of always being under her mother, under the other senshi. They knew nothing of her past, only what she had told him. She would prove herself again. She had to. For her sake, and her Mothers. She had to be strong. She had to fight. Usagi Tsukino had taught her that. No matter what the costs, she would win.

Where am I going with this relationship between Mother and Daughter? Lets just say the Queen is a bit overprotective of her daughter. The Queen had grown up in peacefull times, never had to become a senshi, and now she kinda envy's and worries over her daughter being one. That, and she could have lost her daughter in the past and never knew it.
As it is, I've given away too much information. There is a plot to the whole "mother/daughter" ordeal. Give me a few more chapters and I might get it out in the open. It'll be a twister to the story. ^^ If anyone has any guesses, please feel free to tell me what you think.
That is it for now. Please Bookmark me for updates. I'm going to try to get an update up every week, if I can. We'll see how things go. JA NE for now!!
