All characters that are definitely known to actually be part of the "Sailor Moon" Universe are

story and any related stories I may write at any time. All other characters and/or settings that are non-

native to the "Sailor Moon" Universe are actually of my own creation, unless otherwise stated. If they

aren't actually of my own creation, they're actually the property and/or creation of their owner or

owners, where applicable. So don't bother suing me now, for I've not actually claimed your characters

and/or settings as mine here, if they're not actually of my own creation. Besides, I don't really have any

money. So you actually wouldn't get anything from me in that way anyway. I'm a financially poor

person, currently, if I won't always be. And so therefore, your chances of getting any money from me

at this time, if ever, are very small indeed. Probably even microscopic, at the current time.

All poems and/or songs in, at least, this story or series of stories are copyright to and/or of their

respective writers, performers, or authors, and/or their owners, wherever possible, if I'm actually not

their writer and/or owner as well. I claim nothing knowingly for my own, people, that I know isn't

actually mine. Just like I'm doing for any other elements and characters that I mentioned in the previous

paragraph here, I'm doing that here for all of the said poems and/or songs, in fact, people. So the

exact same disclaimer applies to them as it does for anything else related to this story and/or its series,

at least, if not any other story or stories of mine, people. That's whenever possible, of course.

And please be aware that this story, at least, if not any others as well, may periodically delve

into the areas of alternate timelines, realities, and/or universes, as well as have at least some OOC

elements for any or all of the characters in it, at least a little bit, if not a lot. And it may or may not tie in

with other stories of mine that might feature its main characters, at least on the protagonists' side of

things, in fact.

This particular story series of mine here will mainly be set in one of at least eight different Zones

of Earth. Specifically, this story series will mainly be set in the Tokyo Zone of Earth. Other Zones of

Earth that may be mentioned in this story series, at least, if not others as well, will be the Honolulu,

Seattle, Chicago, Rio De Janeiro, London, Jerusalem, and Calcutta Zones. The Tokyo Zone will be

known as the Alpha Zone, most, if not all, of the time. The Honolulu Zone will normally be known as

the Beta Zone, if not all the time. The Seattle Zone will often be known as the Gamma Zone, if not all

the time. Likewise, the Chicago Zone will be the Delta Zone, whenever possible. The Rio De Janeiro

Zone will normally be the Epsilon Zone, whenever possible, in actual reality. The London Zone will

then normally be the Zeta Zone, the Jerusalem Zone will normally be the Eta Zone, and the Calcutta

Zone will normally be the Theta Zone, as well, unless otherwise stated in this or any other sufficiently-

related stories of mine here.

The Rising Sun Adventures

Book One

Prologue

One thousand years ago, a great interplanetary civilization was ruled from Earth's Moon by a

wise Queen. A Queen named Queen Serenity, in fact. Everything in that civilization was quite peaceful

until the arrival from another dimension of the Universe of the evil Negaverse in Earth's own solar

system. This evil Negaverse was then led by the quite wicked Queens Beryl and Metallia.

Queen Beryl had her eyes on the Terran solar system from the first time that she and her evil

Negaverse first detected it elsewhere in the Universe. She'd heard of it long before, and of the wise

Queen Serenity that ruled a great interplanetary civilization called the "Moon Kingdom". She had been

quite jealous of the Moon Kingdom and its people, including its leaders, ever since hearing of it for the

first time, in fact. And she was sickened by the good that was quite often present in that very solar

system of the Universe. So much was she then sickened by all that good there, that she then eventually

sought to conquer and/or destroy the Moon Kingdom, and glorify her mistress Queen Metallia, the

highest-ranking leader of the Negaverse.

So, when she and her Negaverse's Negaforce were finally able to get the chance, sufficiently

well, they then attacked all the inhabited worlds of the Moon Kingdom that they could find easily

enough at that time or those times. And they then sought to utterly and completely conquer and/or

destroy the Moon Kingdom, if at all possible. They were almost completely successful, in fact. But

they were actually prevented from doing so by Queen Serenity's use of her Imperium Silver Crystal and

the Moon Kingdom's Crescent Moon Wand.

Queen Serenity said, to one mostly black cat and one mostly white cat, while she used them,

"Only this Crystal and Wand can combat the power of the Negaforce. Never let our enemies get them,

or the Universe is doomed. But most of all, you must protect our dear Princess Usagi. Understand?"

Two talking cats with rather strange crescent moon-shaped markings on their foreheads who

were actually named Luna and Artemis, and who were also Queen Serenity's cats, then acknowledged

the order, by saying, "Yes." Even though they now knew what would then have to happen for them

and anyone else that Queen Serenity had somehow saved by the use of the aforementioned Crystal and

Wand, they still did so, of course.

Not too long afterward, many of the Moon Kingdom's inhabitants were then frozen in Moon

Beam Crystals in the shapes of globes and cylinders, wherever appropriate. Then they were all sent to

the future on Earth, in at least one Zone of Earth, if not more than one, in fact.

With their memories lost to them all, the now-dead Queen Serenity's cat advisors Luna and

Artemis must eventually find the Princess, so that she'd at last be safe. On that note, then, the story

now begins, in one of those very Zones of Earth, in actual reality here. Specifically the Tokyo Zone, in

this particular case, at least.
