Shadow of the Past

Authors Note:

Hello, this is the Queen of Random coming to you from her
universe which just might be somewhere near you! This is a telling of
a seemingly random story which popped into my mind not that long ago,
a veritable "What If?" story. This story used to be named Silver
Lightning, but I came up with a newer and better title to fit the theme
a bit more. Or maybe I just pulled it out of my trusty hat.
Whichever.
Alright, alright, so you are probably wondering what the story
is about. Okay, here goes.

(Insert deep breath here).
This story is based on "What if the Sailor Scouts met the
Dragon Ball Z gang?"
Okay, so it sounds kind of lame, but it actually has some merit. This
is the first time that I have decided to post a story on A Sailor Moon
Romance, (Maybe that's because Kim's too lazy to go through the
process of posting it). Hey! I wasn't supposed to type that! Damn
alter ego's at it again! (Muffled screams in the background as Kim
beats a few of her many "voices"). Ah, to hell with it! Let the
Alter Ego's speak if they want to. You just better watch it Ego's,
you just better watch it!.

... And yet another threat from Kim! But we're used to those
now, aren't we? Anyway... okay, so here is the standard disclaimer
for a not-so-standard writer. Kim does not own Sailor Moon. Oh
yeah, BIG surprise there. Kim does not claim to have come up with the
characters that reside in the Sailor Moon Universe, only the tacky,
(hey, hey, watch it before I give you another beating!), oh, uh, I mean
wacky adventures that you can see in this lovely story. (Yeah, nice
try buster).

*Ahem*. Back to the disclaimer. Okay, so we know that Kim
don't own Sailor Moon or any of the characters involved with it. But
any of their children are mine, I say, MINE! (Jeez, calm down. I
think we have a Rumplestiltskin on our hands. Quick, hide your first
born!) Hey, I just meant that if the Scouts have any children, except
for Rini of course, they would have popped out of my... uh, I mean
your... I mean our head and therefore become... our property.

Further more, Kim does not own Dragon Ball Z, and any of you who
thought that she did should have your head checked!! Ha, and they said
I was crazy. (That's because you are.) Shut up! I'm not talking to
you! (That's it, you're getting a Pao Pao! Do you want it upgraded
to a Bow Pao? Huh, huh, do ya?) Alright, alright! Sheesh, can't a
voice just rant and rave for a while without getting persecuted! (Just
get back to the damn Disclaimer). Make me. (Alright, that's it!)
Uh oh. (Take that! Damn Alter Ego! I'm in charge again, ha ha!)

Alright folks, though I do not own either Dragon Ball Z, or
Sailor Moon, this story is an original one that somehow popped out of
my discombobulated head. It is the first in a trilogy, so look
close, because there are many clues interlaced with this strange fan
fic. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show, for it has only just begun.

Mua ha ha ha ha ha !!!

(Evil laugh. You know the one.)

The Queen has spoken.

So it is written, so it shall be.

Alright, enough with the theatrics, Bring on the story!!!

Oh wait, a few more things: I would love any comments, flames,
criticism, and all that. Just send them to kthai123@home.com. If
nobody says anything to me, then I'll assume that my prologue sucked
and it will be the end of the posting of the story.

Oh yeah, the story is rated PG-13 for mild language.

P.S. There are going to be a few discrepancies in the time
line of both SM and DBZ, so forgive me. I had to do it, I tell you!
Just so that everything would fall together.

I would also like to give a big THANK YOU to Christina, the
exaulted Princess of Random for actually proding me to make this story
happen and give me the courage to actually post it. Damn you I say,
damn you Christina. (Oh, you know I love you!)

Thanx, now really, BRING ON THE STORY.
Well, that is if you would like to read it, TURN THE PAGE.
Or the screen.
Or click.
Oh, whatever, you can find your way.

The Queen has Spoken.
So it is written, so it shall be.


Shadow of the Past

Prologue

Serena, Lita, Rei, Ami, and Mina, plus Luna and Artemis,were
gathered together at Cherry Hill Temple for a reason only one of them
knew for sure.
"So Lita, come on, tell us why you called this emergency
meeting?" said Serena with concern, her azure eyes round with concern.
Lita took a deep breath and shook her head. "Okay guys, I
guess there is no easy way to say this, so here goes. I have just
heard from my aunt, and she's concerned about me. She's... she's....
well she's going to have me move out with her," she said, her heart as
heavy as her voice.
Everyone jumped in at once.
"What do you mean she's having you move out with her?" blurted
out Mina.
"You mean your going away?" Serena asked, already the tears
forming.
"You have to go, you have no other choice?" asked Ami.
"Wait a minute, what about you being a Senshi? You can't just
leave the group." Put in Rei.
Lita held up her hand to stop the onslaught of questions.
"Yes I do have to go live with her, for a little while at least.
You guys know that my parents died when I was younger, and I have been
living alone since then. Well my aunt is my legal guardian, being my
mom's only sister, and weird as it may seem she only just now got word
of my parent's death. And it is her right to take me away, I guess.
As for being a Senshi, I can be glad that nothing is going on right
now. I really do have to go, and I do miss my aunt and my little
cousin. But I am going to miss you guys so much." Lita finally lost
control and started to cry in deep, wracking sobs. Everyone gathered
around and took Lita into their comforting embrace. It was going to
be hard to let her go, but there was nothing to be done, and everyone
knew it.
"Don't worry, we'll always be here for you Lita," Serena said
soothingly as she stroked her hair.

A week and many tears later, Lita was all packed up and ready
to go. Lita said her goodbyes, and was on the plane before it fully
sunk in that she was leaving her friends. She pulled a pill bottle
out of her carry on back pack, and shook out two into her hand and
stared at them. They were sleeping pills and prescribed by her
doctor, and Lita was loathed to take even one of the damned things.
But she had always hated flying. Her parents had died in a plane
crash, after all. And so she decided it was the best thing to do.
Lita popped them into her mouth, washed them down with some water, and
was lost to oblivion within minutes. As she slept deeply, she had a
dream…

She was in a vast forest, walking along a path. As she
looked around she could see that there were trees of both green and
silver, but she didn't find it odd at all. As she went deeper into
the woods, Lita came upon a huge crystal like statue of a wolf. Upon
further inspection she found that it had an inscription on the side,
which read:

'The great fight is almost at hand,
A great darkness is spreading across the land,
If He claims this world for his own,
Then the earth is doomed and alone.

But there is a ray of hope that shines,
If the Princess can walk the sacred lines,
And can claim the star crystal hers by right,
Then there is still a chance to fight.

But if she cannot find her soulmate,
Then the Dark One will be able to claim the princess's fate,
Everything will be lost if her soul mate and she,
Cannot come together to fulfill their destiny.'

Lita awoke with a start, and saw that everyone was getting
off. By the time she got off the plane and found her baggage, she had
totally forgotten about the dream. Suddenly, she saw a familiar face
in the huge crowd. She waved and called out, "Hi Aunt ChiChi."
