I don't own Sailor Moon. All characters (Except for a few) are the property of the great creator of Sailormoon Naoko Takeuchi and the companies that own Sailor Moon. Only the story and new characters are mine.
Sailor Star Dust here! Yeah, yeah I know it's been a while since my last chapter. I've been sort of busy. Ah, the busy life of a Student. You know I hate it. Personally it's the work that gets me. Anyway I hope you enjoy this fanfic.
A Kingdom's Tale
By: Hikarino Hoshi
a.k.a.
Sailor Star Dust
The evil sorceress, Malia, had cast a spell on the young princess of the moon. Which King Cyrus, Queen Serenity, and the senshi were discussing on how to handle the, now altered, curse.
"Cyrus. Serenity." Lorriane addressed. "I think it might be best if you were to assign, to the princess, our daughters to be her official senshi."
"Yes, I think that would be a wise course of action to take." Dysis agreed with Lorriane. "And I believe that our daughters would be best for it."
"I believe Dysis may have a point." Adrienne said. "It would be better, for Selenity, if she had senshi. Preferably around her age level. So that she would be able to better bond with her senshi."
"It sounds like a great idea!" Exclaimed Briana. "That way we'll be around more!"
"Then it's settled. As soon as our daughters are old enough we'll begin their training." Oriana said.
"But, do you think that's enough?" Asked Artemis. "And what until then? We can't leave the princess unguarded all the time while her senshi are away."
"Artemis is right." Agreed Luna. "What will we do until then?"
"Well, Luna. Artemis. Until Selenity's senshi are old enough. You two will watch over the princess." Serenity told them. "And when her senshi arrive you two will train them as well. You will also watch over them, as you will do for the princess."
As an extra precaution, I suggest we ban all roses from the kingdom until the danger has passed." Cyrus said. "Which means we must kill all the rose bushes in the royal garden."
"Cyrus, doesn't that mean destroying all the flowers in the garden? You have the roses everywhere." Celeste said.
"Yes, but I will do everything in my power to keep my daughter safe."
So that day the entire garden was uprooted and burned. So as to keep the princess safe. The next day they began to plant new flowers to replaced the ones they had destroyed.
Six year old Princess Minda, Mina, was being brought over to the Moon Kingdom for her very first meeting with her fellow senshi. Of whom she would one-day lead. She was also there to meet the moon princess, Selenity. Minda was very nervous about the meeting. As she had been told she and the senshi are to guard the princess at all costs.
"Mother?"
"Yes Mina?"
"Is the princess nice?"
"Oh, Mina, you always ask that."
"Well, mother is she?" Asked the impatient Mina.
"Yes, Mina. If she is anything like her parents you'll surely adore her." Oriana replied. "Why so worried? Afraid you won't get along?"
"No. It's just that... well what if she's mean? Will I still have to guard her?" Asked Mina. "And do I have to play with her."
"Oh Mina! I'm sure you'll just love her."
"I hope so mama. I hope so...."
Meanwhile at another transporter...on the planet Mars. Someone was also making a trip to meet the princess.
"But Mom! I don't want to meet the princess!"
"Rayechelle!" Reprimand Celeste. "Selenity is a very special young lady."
"Well so am I. So why don't I have any senshi to guard me?" Complained Raye. "I'm a princess too! What's so special about her!"
"Raye, I've explained it to you before." Replied Celeste. "She needs protection because she's under a curse. Plus it's our duty to protect the royal Moon family."
"Well when I get put under a curse then she'll have to protect me." She said. "Anyway I hope the curse comes true."
Rayechelle, that wasn't nice. You better behave yourself in front of Selenity. Promise!"
"Mom!"
"Promise me Rayechelle!"
"Okay, okay. I promise mother." Sighed Raye.
"Good." Said Celeste. ~She's just like me when I was told to protect Serenity.~
As Celeste was thinking that some people were having a conversation on Uranus. Two of the people included the seven-year-old boyish Amara and her best friend Michelle.
"If anyone tries anything I'll fry them!" Shouted Amara. "I'll teach them to mess with the senshi of Uranus!"
"Amara, you don't have to shout." Michelle told her. "You'll probably scare the inner senshi."
"Michelle's right dear. You should listen to her." Lorriane told her.
"But mom she's a girl!" Replied Amara.
"So what would you be?" Asked Michelle. "A freak?"
"Michelle, that wasn't a nice thing to say."
"Sorry mom." Answered Michelle. "But Amara knows I'm just teasing."
"Yeah! Hey mom can I be in charge?" Amara asked.
"No, Amara you know that the senshi of Venus are in charge." Marina told her.
"Yeah I know."
Although, Amara will probably do so well they'll put her in charge. Michelle claimed.
"Sigh, remember how we use to be like that?" Asked Marina.
"I know. Lucky we out grew that." Lorriane replied. "I almost killed Oriana and Briana because of it."
"Letitia! Slow down. Nothing's going to happen to her before we get there!" Yelled Queen Briana. In the teleportation room on Jupiter. Letitia, Lita, seemed happier then usual.
"Sorry mother. I just excited to meet her." Claimed Lita. "I hope she's nice just like everyone says."
"::laughs:: Lita I'm sure of it." Said Briana. "Why do you want to know?"
"It's nothing mom."
"Come on Lita. You can tell me."
"Well everyone's either afraid of me or wants to hurt me." Lita told her mom. "No one wants to be my friend."
"Oh Lita!" Briana comforted. "Here let me tell you something. You don't have to listen to them. Underneath all that tough exterior, there's a sweet personality."
"Well why can't anyone see it?"
"Lita, just be patient. Someday you'll make a friend. That won't just be your friend because they're afraid of you."
"I hope so." Lita said. ~I hope the princess won't be like everyone else that I've met.~
Saturn was bringing her four-year-old daughter to meet the moon princess. Being from Saturn, Hotaru had great power and would be important to the team.
"Mama, will they be afraid?" Asked the Princess of Saturn.
"Why should they be?"
"Mama you know why. Because I'm the messiah of death and destruction. The Messiah of Darkness." Hotaru answered.
"Hotaru of course not. I'm sure the other senshi will understand." Gabrielle replied.
"But mama isn't Selenity the Messiah of Light?" Asked Hotaru. "What if we won't get along? We're enemies!"
"Selenity won't ignore you because you are the Messiah of darkness."
"They're probably just like everyone else. Everyone is afraid of darkness. Destruction. Silence." Hotaru continued. "They'll never play with me! Or talk to me."
"Hotaru, we'll talk about it later. Okay?"
"Okay mama."
Dysis and her daughter Trista were on their way to the moon kingdom like everyone else. For the same reason. To meet the Princess Selenity. Also like everyone else Trista was nervous about the meeting.
"What if I bored her? What if she bores me?" Asked young Trista. "How can I protect her if she puts me to sleep?!"
"Don't worry Trista. You won't. She won't."
"But how can you be sure that she won't bore me?"
"I have seen the past, present, and future, Trista, so I know."
"But mother. You have always told me that the future is not easy to predict. And even so it can still be changed." She repeated. "What if it's wrong? What if I do bore her?"
"Trista, please don't worry everything will be fine. I know it will be." Dysis said. "Just trust me."
"I do mother. I do." ~I just hope you're right once again.~
"Don't worry. It'll turn out fine in the end. I know it will." Dysis repeated. "Just keep your duty in mind."
Another conversation about Selenity is taking place. This time on the planet Mercury. Only this one is slightly different then the others.
"Mother. We will be trained in the fullest extent. Am I right?"
"Yes, Amy that is correct."
"I will be able to control water in its solid form of matter. Although, I don't really see how I can be of any use with ice. My powers don't seem to do much." Amy stated.
"Well Amy. The senshi from Mercury have always been the base of the group. The planners. We come up with a strategy so we can succeed against our enemies."
"Still I wish I had powers more like the others. That way I could help protects the princess also." Amy said. "Although I can see the point of coming with a strategy. But we are all so unprepared. I believe some training would be good at this point."
"Yes. Being the brains of the inner senshi has its advantages. We can be of more use if we come up with a plan before we fight." Adrienne told Amy. "We make up one of the most important part of the senshi."
All the Queen's Senshi soon arrive at the palace on the moon. They left their daughters to go meet the others and talk about important matters. Each of their daughters start looking around at their surroundings and they had all heard about the beautiful flowers on the moon and decided to go see them.
"Hey! Who are you?" Asked Michelle.
"I should ask you the same thing." Replied Raye.
"Well, we asked first!" Yelled Amara.
"Shouldn't you be ashamed of yourself, yelling like that?" Mina said.
"Don't you know that no one is allowed in this part of the gardens?" Amy said. "Only the royal family and their senshi are."
"Well, what are you doing here?" Lita asked. "You're not part of the royal family."
"Well neither are you." Raye yelled.
"Well I'm a senshi so I'm allowed!" Exclaimed Mina.
"So what we're senshi too!" Amara yelled. "So we're allowed here too."
"Wait a moment. So we are all here to protect the Moon Princess?" Trista asked.
"Doesn't that mean we'll be working together?" Hotaru asked. "Then we should get to know each other."
"Well, we should probably start with our names. I am the Princess of Mercury. Amanda, but just call me Amy."
"My name is Michelle. Princess of Neptune." Michelle introduced. "And this is Amara; she's the princess of Uranus."
"I'm Rayechelle of Mars. Also known as Raye" said Raye. "It's nice meeting you."
"I am Hotaru. Daughter of Gabrielle. Princess of Saturn."
"Hi! I'm Minda, Mina for short. I am the Princess of Venus. It'll be great working with you!"
"Nice to meet you. My name is Trista. I am the Daughter of Queen Dysis of Pluto."
"Hey, Cool! I'm Princess Letitia from Jupiter, but you can call me Lita."
A little girl about six came running up. She had blonde hair done in little buns on top of her head. With some loose curls hanging from them. She was wearing a light pink dress with short sleeves.
"Hi!" The girl greeted. "Whatcha doing here?"
"Hi. We were just having a discussion." Trista told her. "What about you?"
"I live here." She replied. "What's your name?"
"I'm Amara. This is Michelle. And these are my new friends."
She pointed as she named them. "Trista, Hotaru, Amy, Mina, Lita, and Raye." Amara introduced.
"Nice to meet you." Everyone said.
"Nice to meet you too! People call me Selen. So whatcha talking about?" the girl asked.
"We are talking about the princess." Lita told her. "We're her senshi."
"Not like we had any choice." Complained Raye. "I don't wanna baby-sit some stuck-up princess."
"You don't even know what she's like!" Michelle said. "How can you tell if she's stuck-up?"
"Besides it's our duty to protect her." Trista stated. "It was decided for us long ago."
Selen broke into their conversation. "I don't think it can be that bad. Can it?"
"You haven't been around many princesses have you?" Mina asked.
Selen shook her head. "Not really. Are they all bad?"
"Not all of them are Selen. It's just hard to find a lot of High Princesses who haven't be spoiled to death by their parents." Amy told Selen.
"I've only met seven princesses who weren't stuck-up." Amara announced. "And they are standing in front of you."
"Oh! So you're all princesses too?" Selen asked.
"Huh? What do ya mean too?" Hotaru asked.
Before Selen could answer King Cyrus, Queen Serenity, Luna, Artemis and the queens of the Solar Planets approach their daughters.
"I see you have met Princess Selenity." Oriana said.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Asked Mina.
"Everyone this is King Cyrus, Queen Serenity, Luna, and Artemis." Celeste introduced.
"Mommy!" Shouted Selen. "Daddy! Luna! Artemis!"
Selen runs up to the queen and hugs her tightly. Serenity smiles down on her.
"Selen! What are you doing?" Amy exclaimed. "You can't run up to the queen like that!"
"Amy it's okay." Adriana told her. "Selen is Serenity's daughter."
"Selen's Princess Selenity." Lorriane said.
"SHE'S THE PRINCESS?!!!" Raye shouted.
"We should have known!" Exclaimed Amara. "It was so obvious! How could we have missed that?" She said pointing at the buns on top of Selen's head.
"So you're gonna be my protectors..." Selenity said. "I want you to be my friends. Not my senshi or protectors. Just my friends."
"By what I saw, you get along quite nicely." Dysis stated. "I'm sure this arrangement will work out."
"Yes, you can't deny that you were becoming friends." Agreed Gabrielle.
"Well, let's started shall we?" Asked Marina.
Briana replied. "You had better get to know one another and the palace."
The Queen's Senshi took their daughters on a tour of the palace. With Serenity, Cyrus, Luna, Artemis, and Selenity leading the way. They ended the tour at the Senshi training room. Which was a large building mainly used for hand to hand combat. All uses of magical energy attacks were to be practiced outside.
"Listen kids. We'll leave you to play." Lorriane said.
"Yes, we have some important business to discuss." Adrienne added.
"Don't get into any trouble." Dysis warned. "Will be inside if you need us."
Then Serenity, Cyrus, the Senshi, and the advisers went inside to discuss their children's training. And how they were to work everything out.
"Hey let's do some practicing!" Lita shouted. "I bet I'll beat you all!"
"You're on!" Amara replied.
"Did you all remember the transformation phrases and wands?" Asked Trista.
"Of course!" Replied Raye. "Let's go!"
"If you insist. Neptune Power!"
"Uranus Power!"
"Pluto Power!"
"Saturn Power!"
"Venus Power!"
"Jupiter Power!"
"Mars Power!"
"Mercury Power!"
"Get ready to eat fire!" Yelled Sailor Chibi Mars. "Mars Fire! IGNITE!" Mars' fire attack was dodged by Jupiter and it burnt a nearby sapling into ashes.
"Nice one Mars!" Chibi Jupiter. "But I can do better!"
Well from now on the senshi are the ones we know now. Such as Lita/Mako, Raye/Rei, Amy/Ami, etc... you get the point. Maybe not to this part. But that's how I go. Hmmm....maybe I'll try writing another fanfic. Hopefully it'll be faster than this one. And if this don't seem to have a point to it, it does. Well it's suppose to have one in the next chapter.
