I want to say the story itself is 10 chapters long with an epilogue (maybe). Currently I have completed 9 of the chapters and am writing Ch.10 right now. I'll post a new chapter at least once every couple days so the story should be completely posted within at least 2 weeks, maybe 3. But I will be finishing this story before I start a new one. So read on and enjoy (that is if anyone is out there reading this) and please review! Thanks!

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon, Ms. Naoko Takeuchi does. But I do own the plot, Pluto Knight, and the bad guy! So HA!

Ch. 2 Who Is Pluto Knight?

The Gates of Time:

Sailor Pluto stood at her post and debated with herself whether or not to tell the other scouts and Tuxedo Mask about the legendary Pluto Knight. She looked around highly doubting anyone was there, but still she couldn't shake the feeling that something was coming. She looked out into the eternal darkness. The expression on her face was a soft one she decided to bring up a specific moment in time. She opened what looked like a computer screen only it played history like a videotape. She spoke out loud to it, "Chrono-Screen, open up and show me the last time that the Pluto Knight was seen by the princess of Pluto!" The screen flashed for a moment then began to show what Pluto had asked to see-

]Princess Pluto's last meeting with the Pluto Knight[

Princess Setsuna was walking about in the palace on Pluto just wondering about why she was supposed to meet with Queen Serenity in a few hours. After a while she decided to head off to get ready to leave for her meeting with Queen Serenity.

As she arrived at the Moon Kingdom she was met by Princess Serenity. "Hello Princess Setsuna! How are you today?"

The princess smiled and bowed to Serenity. "I'm fine thank you for asking." She and Princess Serenity walked to the palace together. Just outside the throne room the Princess Serenity smiled and walked away. Princess Setsuna was left alone. She stood just outside the door for a long time before someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around to face a man in black armor with deep garnet and green lining. It was Pluto Knight. He had come to see Princess Setsuna before she saw the queen.

"Hello princess, are you feeling ok?" He looked her in the eyes and had noticed for the millionth time how lovely they were. She smiled politely back at him and gave a great heaving sigh.

"I'm a little nervous about seeing Queen Serenity. I'm afraid that it might not be good news..." He looked at her and embraced her tightly.

"I'm sure that it'll be fine." She looked at his face and smiled, a rare thing to see on her face. They stood and looked at each other for a while, until a short woman with deep purple hair poked her head out of the chamber and broke the silence.

"Ehem, Princess Setsuna? Queen Serenity is ready to speak with you now."

Setsuna looked at Pluto Knight and gave him a small, sweet, kiss. Then he let her go and she went through the large doors to face her destiny. As she entered the queen greeted her. The queen could sense Pluto Knight watching them but said nothing to Setsuna about this.

Setsuna watched the queen for a moment before she spoke, "Queen Serenity why have you called me here?"

Queen Serenity looked at Setsuna and gestured for the purple haired woman to bring something to her. "Setsuna, princess of the planet Pluto I bestow upon thee the sacred power of the Senshi of Time." at this point the purple haired woman had returned with a small stick that resembled a pen with the sign of Pluto on the top (It's her first henshin pen YAY!). Serenity gave the pen to Setsuna and continued her speech. "To use the transformation pen just say Pluto Planet Power! It will allow you to become a Senshi." she stopped speaking and looked at Setsuna. Setsuna raised the pen in the air and did as Serenity had told her to do.

"PLUTO PLANET POWER!"

Setsuna was encased in a swirling mist of ice and hail. When she opened her eyes she was wearing a black sailor fuku. It had a black skirt and collar. And it had blood red ribbons, one on the front and one on the back, with a small garnet broach to hold the bow on the front. She also now wore a black choker with a small garnet jewel hanging from it. On her feet she wore knee high boots that resembled Sailor Moon's, only hers were black and had no crescent moon on the front. And last but not least she wore a tiara on her forehead with a garnet jewel in the middle where it curved down, and garnet earrings. Setsuna looked at herself and smiled. She had always wanted to be a Senshi! Serenity looked at her and smiled but only briefly.

"Your Senshi name is Sailor Pluto the Senshi of Time with the responsibility to guard the Gates of Time." She turned to the purple haired woman again. This time the woman held a long staff that resembled a large key. "This is your Garnet Staff it is your special talisman." She paused for a moment to take a breath, "Sailor Pluto, Senshi of Time go now to the Gates of Time." Sailor Pluto looked at the queen with despair in her once bright eyes.

"Queen Serenity, why was I chosen to guard the gates? To guard the gates is to live in isolation!" Serenity looked down at the young Senshi.

"You, Sailor Pluto, are the only one who could stand the eternal loneliness. I am sorry Setsuna." Serenity pointed to a door that had appeared out of nowhere. "Go now Sailor Pluto no one knows of your duty except for me and your father King Chronos."

Sailor Pluto left through the gates and disappeared forever. Pluto Knight came out of the shadows and looked at Serenity with his eyes full of tears, sadness, and loathing. "Why did you make her leave?"

Serenity just looked at him with sorrow and a small amount of pity. "It is her duty to guard the gates. Your duty is to protect her, but you are needed here. When you are no longer needed here you may join her at the Gates of Time." Serenity stood up and left the room. Pluto Knight was left to himself to hope that he would be able to join his Princess soon.

[end]

The screen faded and Sailor Pluto sighed. "Why did she have to choose me..? No, SHE didn't choose me, fate chose me." Sailor Pluto sighed. "Serenity knew Beryl was going to attack. That's why she kept him there. They needed his strength." Sailor Pluto looked around and suddenly realized that the gates were opening. "Who goes there? The Gates of Time are off limits to any who are unworthy!" She raised her Garnet Staff and aimed it at the gates.

The gates opened to reveal Rini, Serena, Mina, Ami, Lita, and Raye walking towards her.

"Puu!" Rini ran towards Pluto and grabbed her midsection in a big hug.

"Small Lady, how are you feeling?" Pluto looked down at Rini and hugged her back.

"I'm feeling ok. How are you feeling? The guys said that you took me to the shrine and then left." Rini looked up at her friend and then over to Serena.

"Sailor Pluto who is...err... was Pluto Knight?" Serena had stepped forward and was looking at the Senshi of Time. Sailor Pluto let go of Rini and for the first time that the other girls had seen she looked truly sad.

"Pluto Knight was the knight for my planet. He was always destined to protect me, but when Queen Beryl attacked he was one of the first to die at her hands. He was killed by Malachite. He was the strongest of the knights. He was a dear friend and was not allowed to come to the gates until he was no longer needed by Queen Serenity. I do not know if he was reincarnated with the rest of you or not." Sailor Pluto looked around at her friends. They all looked a little sad after Pluto had finished talking.

Serena was the first to speak up, "Pluto I'm so sorry. If we can help in any way..."

Sailor Pluto held up a hand and looked at the gates, they were beginning to open. She raised her Garnet Staff to face the gates and stepped in front of the other scouts.

"Who goes there? The Gates of Time are off limits to any who are not worthy!" She watched as the gates had opened for the second time.

Pluto Knight walked through the gates and came face to face with Sailor Pluto's Garnet Staff.. Pluto Knight looked at Sailor Pluto and thought that she looked as beautiful as the day she was assigned to guard the Time Gates. He was snapped back in to reality as Sailor Pluto's voice rang through his head.

"What are you doing here?" Pluto Knight looked at Sailor Pluto and put his arms up in surrender. "I give up, do what you want to me." Pluto Knight couldn't help but look at Sailor Pluto's eyes. Oh how he had missed looking at her eyes.... but that time had long passed and he had no way of proving he was the real Pluto Knight.

"Why have you come to these sacred gates? Leave now or suffer the consequences!" Sailor Pluto kept her gaze strong, never taking her eyes off of him. By this point however Pluto Knight was forming a plan in his head. He wouldn't have a chance of proving he was the true Pluto Knight while his beloved Sailor Pluto was surrounded by the other scouts...

Sailor Pluto watched him intently waiting for an answer. Pluto Knight looked like he was thinking, and then he spoke up.

"Please Sailor Pluto let me prove that I am the real Pluto Knight. Please give me that chance." He looked at Sailor Pluto waiting for her reply. Sailor Pluto looked at her friends, Serena had a look on her face that said quite plainly "Give him a chance." Sailor Pluto lowered her staff a little bit and looked at Pluto Knight.

"You have one chance. And one chance only." Sailor Pluto looked at Serena and then back to Pluto Knight. Sailor Pluto stepped forward and told her friends to stay back just in case. Pluto Knight took this as an opportunity to spring his plan. He jumped forward and gestured towards Sailor Pluto. She turned around to late, she had disappeared. Rini looked at the would be knight with tears of hatred in her eyes.

"What did you do to her?!" Pluto Knight simply looked at the child and frowned a little.

"Sailor Pluto is fine I need to speak with her in private." After that he disappeared leaving Serena and the girls alone at the gates.

Rini looked into the darkness and thought of her friend. "Puu, where are you...?"

The remnants of the palace on Pluto:

Sailor Pluto stood alone on the remnants of her old home. Memories flooded back to her mind like a torrent of fire. They burned her soul and made her yearn for her childhood when she was the happiest. After a few moments before Pluto Knight appeared.

"Why have you brought me here?" Sailor Pluto looked at Pluto Knight with pure hatred. He was a little shocked.

"I brought you here so we could talk and I could prove that I am the real Pluto Knight." Sailor Pluto looked at him with nothing but contempt.

"Pluto Knight died over a thousand years ago! How dare you try to take his place! No one could ever take his place!"

Pluto Knight thought that she might never believe him. He thought to himself No she must believe. Please Setsuna believe in me! He looked at Setsuna with sorrow. "How could you forget me my princess?" Pluto Knight started towards her, but she put her staff between them.

"Stay back! I don't want to hurt you if I don't have to!" She looked at him.

He did resemble the Pluto Knight but it couldn't be him. He was long dead.

He looked at her. He wanted so much to hold her in his arms again.

"What have you done with my friends?" She looked at him waiting for a reply.

"They're fine. I left them at the gates." If he thought this would make her calm down he was sadly mistaken. She looked at him horrified.

"How could you leave them at the gates? Baka! Do you know what kinds of things lurk there?!" She held up her staff and looked at him for only a moment then disappeared.

Pluto Knight stared at the spot where she had stood just moments ago. "Why? Why won't you let me prove myself to you? Oh Setsuna..."

That night at Haruka and Michiru's apartment :

Setsuna laid down in her bed. She was staying with Haruka and Michiru, because she wasn't away from the gates very often there was no reason for her to have her own apartment. She was so tired. She sighed and turned over. Just then she heard her door open.

"Setsuna I'm making some tea. Would you like some?" It was Michiru.

"No thank you Michiru. I think I'm just going to rest." Setsuna yawned and Michiru closed the door. Setsuna turned over again and sighed. She missed Pluto Knight terribly since he had died, he had been the only man Setsuna had ever loved. She closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep. After a while she finally fell asleep and began to dream.

Dream:

Setsuna was standing on a balcony outside her room at the palace on Pluto. She looked around. Everything was so perfect. She hugged herself, it still felt like something was wrong. She simply shrugged the feeling and turned back to the scenery. She smiled and closed her eyes it was so nice to just stand there and look at everything. She opened her eyes and frowned. Everything had gone black and she was standing there alone. She could hear a voice from behind her. She turned around to see who it was. It was Pluto Knight walking towards her.

"Pluto Knight! I've missed you so." She tried to run to him, but the more she tried the farther away he seemed to become. "Wait! Come back Pluto Knight! Please come back...." She fell over and he was becoming more distant from her. "Wait! Where are you going? Come back Pluto Knight. I've missed you for so long!" He turned to face her, the scar on his cheek was visible.

".....Sailor Pluto...why didn't you save me?........" Tears were running freely down her face now.

"I tried! Please don't leave me again! Please....come back!" She watched as he disappeared in a swirling shower of rose petals. "Noooooo! Don't leave me again....." He disappeared through the shower of red, leaving her there to try and reach out to him. "Come back please...please..." She cried as the swirling petals cut her body. "AHHHHHHHHH!"

"Ahhhhh!" Setsuna woke up covered in cold sweat. She reached up and felt her face with her hands. There were no cuts just two streaks of wet where the tears had been. She looked around at her surroundings. She was in her bed at Haruka and Michiru's apartment. "It was only a dream." Setsuna sat up and looked at the clock. It was 5:45 a.m. She decided she would get up and make tea. Haruka would be awake soon to start her morning workout. Setsuna got out of bed and put on a bathrobe. She was headed out to the kitchen when she noticed something very odd on her dresser. It was a rose with a small card tied to the stem. She cautiously walked over to it and picked it up. She turned over the small card. It was a deep garnet color with gold lettering. She looked at it for a moment then read it out loud in a whisper to herself. "My love I want you to be with me till the end of time. Love, Pluto Knight" Setsuna dropped the rose on the floor and left the room.

Pluto Knight stood outside Setsuna's window. He had been watching her sleep. He frowned as he hid out of sight, She had been tossing and turning, mumbling things about him. Things like "Pluto Knight please come back." He sighed heavily. He wanted so much to hold her in his arms again. He began to fantasize about holding her close. In his absent-mindedness he lost his balance and fell from his perch outside the window.

He landed face first in the dumpster below the window. He sat up and frowned. "Yuk. Eww, gross I can't believe I fell in a dumpster." He stopped talking and hid in the shadow of the dumpster. Some one came over and dumped a bunch of wet trash over his head. "Ugh...." He held his breath and waited for the dumper to leave. After they were gone he climbed out of the dumpster. "The things I do to protect her..." At this the thought of holding her close came back to his mind. He smiled and leapt off into the morning.
