chapter | part two: lost powers
[Time is Unknown]
[Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen are falling through the time rip, when suddenly they could see a bright light up ahead.]
Sailor Moon: This cannot be the end.
[In a clearing of a forest hill just beyond a small unfamilar growing city where the sun was just rising, the other eight scouts had fallen out of the time rip. However the four sailor scouts known as the outer senshi: Neptune (Michiru), Uranus (Haruka), Saturn (Hotaru), and Pluto (Setsuna); were detransformed back into their regular clothing. The other four sailor scouts known as the inner senshi: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus; were still in their sailor outfits.]
Venus: What is this place?
[Everyone gathered around to view the little city below.]
Jupiter: I'm not sure. But I know I can say one thing for sure. I don't think we're in Tokyo anymore...... [with a sly grin] I always wanted to say that line.
Mercury: The correct line would be "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."
[Mercury pulls out her pocket computer and starts sizing up the area.]
Mercury: This can't be right...... Impossible! According to my map and calculations this IS our home city of Tokyo and we are standing right where we were before.... Juuban High's schoolyard.........
[Suddenly a familar bright purple shine started growing overhead about 20 feet above them. Mars quickly senses the pattern that is illuminating overhead.]
Mars: Watch out! It's another rip!
[Haruka quickly glances to Michiru and both nod in an understanding agreement. Both of them as if reading each other's thoughts quickly run towards the bottom of the rip, while the others look on in uncertainty as to what they were doing. That's when the rip got large enough that two people could be seen coming right towards them at a fast speed. Haruka was able to catch a handsome man dressed in a suit of armor with a cape and sword by his side. Michiru caught a beautiful young woman dressed in a flowing white gown accented with gold jewelry, a pearled crown, and a crescent moon upon her forheard. The purple glow of the time rip from where they came from disappeared as fast as it had appeared.]
Setsuna: Princess!!!..... Are you alright?
Princess: [looking down at herself] I.... I'm the princess again. M...Mamo-chan, you..... you're Prince Endymion again.... What does this mean?.......... Where are we?
[Setsuna looks at Mercury who was still taking more readings on her computer.]
Setsuna: It's not a question of where are we..... It's more of a question of.... when.... are we.
Endymion: Setsuna since you are the guardian of time, do you know what happened or are you able to transport us back to our time?
Setsuna: I'm unsure as to what happened. When we, the outer senshi, fell through the time rip, we had detransformed. Just the same as when you and the princess fell through and transformed into your royal forms. However, I shall give it a try.
[Setsuna reaches out into the air.]
Setsuna: Pluto Planet Power....., Make-Up!
[Setsuna still stood there with her arm outstretched, but without her transformation wand appearing and without a thing happening.]
Setsuna: What the.....!!
[The other outer senshi shocked at the happenings, quickly started chanting their transformation sequences in unison.]
Haruka: Uranus Planet Power....., Make-Up!
Michiru: Neptune Planet Power....., Make-Up!
Hotaru: Saturn Planet Power....., Make-Up!
[One by one, all their transformation wands did not appear and they all remained unchanged with their outstretched hands...... That's when a glow started illuminating from their princess........ The bright shine could only be one thing, the silver crystal. An image started to form from the crystal as it shined. The princess reached out to the silver crystal and held it's shine. The form became clear to who was standing in the light of the crystal. It was no other then the former Queen Serenity herself. Haruka and Michiru fell down on one knee with their heads bowed down. Setsuna and Hotaru bowed in respect. The others just stared on in wonder.]
Queen Serenity: Sorry to have dragged you all out here to this time. My time is short with you here so please let me explain what's going on.
[She turns to the members of the outer senshi.]
Queen Serenity: Sorry Pluto. I didn't mean for the outer senshi to get involved in this. This was meant to be a mission for the inner senshi. A simple mission, but one that will hopefully bring their power levels up to speed with the outer senshi. So I temporarily disabled your powers, and when their mission is complete your powers will return to you. That is why Pluto, you have not been able to detect the rip in time. When your powers return you will be able to take them back home safely.
Mars: So what is this mission that you have for us?
[Queen Serenity turns to the members of the inner senshi]
Queen Serenity: The mission is not quite clear, even to me, but I do know one thing for sure. You need to find a certain person in this time. He was known as one of the strongest. He's going to be in some sort of trouble, and you are to help him out. I'm not totally aware of who this person is, and he's not even aware of the trouble he's in....... However, you may tell only the people that need to know here about your backgrounds and who you are, but you are forbidden to tell them anything of the future. I'm sure that Pluto understands this the most. You mustn't let your knowledge of the future somehow change the course of history, no matter how small of a detail it is.
[Queen Serenity turns to the last two in the group.]
Queen Serenity: My daughter, I'm so proud of you to have come so far, and you are aware of some of your future. Believe it or not, this is one of your ultimate transformations, Serena and Endymion. You know it will be a more powerful form that you will take in the future as Queen and King. Thank you Endymion for protecting her. This mission is also in both of your hands as well.
[The queen slowly vanished until she was no longer there. The princess and the prince detransformed in a flash of white light back into their sailor outfits as Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Moon. Soon after the crystal vanished back within. ]
