Bleh...hiya again! Here is the first chappy for Silver Anthologies, I hope you enjoy! First things first, I don't own Sailor Moon nor do I own Xenosaga. Second, in this chapter I use some boat/ship terms. Here are their definitions:

Bow- the front end of a ship

Stern- the back end of a ship

Bridge- the control room of a ship

Silver Anthologies

Chapter One: Can it be...?

--------------------------------

The mysterious spaceship, the one on it's way to pickup Endymion and the others, seemed to blend in with the very stars around her. As the ship travelled on it could be seen that the ship had a fairly small bow and as the ship continued on it grew larger until the stern, or the rockets of the spacecraft came into view. Within the silver and black coated ship, the captain of the S. Senshi (An: That was the ship I was describing...oh and the bow is the front end of a ship while the stern is the back. Also, when I speak of the ship I will refer to it as 'her', it's the sailor's way.) was walking along the metallic grey halls.

The captain had long silver hair with twinkling blue eyes and pale, ethereal skin. As she walked along the halls of her ship to the cargo hold she held in her hand a white hand held computer and she checked the registry of the capsule they were picking up. Even though the computer was lacking in size it made it up by it's speed, memory capacity and it's ability to handle fairly complicated commands. That was the computer, but the screen itself was a holograph that was projected from the tiny, white computer inside of the woman's hand. Her blue eyes narrowed as she searched the list of names rapidly scrolling up the screen of her computer, these men were more than they appeared to be...

"I thought so..." she muttered. At the end of the list was the registration information of the shuttle which they were about to pull aboard.

"Serena, are you going to open the cargo hatch?" called a male voice from behind her. Serenity stopped walking down the hall and turned her head towards the sound of the voice. Standing nervously behind her was a skinny kid around the age of thirteen, he had short brown hair and blue eyes which were hidden behind fairly large glasses.

"No, I have changed my mind," she spoke in a caring and gentle voice, instantly the boy relaxed and smiled up to the older girl.

"What are you going to do then Sere?" the silver haired 17 year old girl shut off her computer and then the screen flickered and disappeared. Then she walked up to the boy, ruffled his hair and replied,

"I am going to go back to the bridge. Melvin, will you do me a favor and welcome the gentlemen aboard that capsule?" the boy, now known as Melvin, nodded his head quickly and ran down the hall to where Serenity was once headed.

Serenity's POV

As soon as Melvin disappeared I began to form a quick plan inside my head. I knew that the men within that capsule were either from Earth in the Gaian Solar System or that they had stolen it from someone who had it registered within that region. I really couldn't take a chance that the option could have been the former so here we go, we've made a full circle! So as quick as I could I ran back down the hall towards the bridge, stopping momentarily so the mechanical doors could open, and skidded to a stop inside. All three of my friends inside turned around in their seats and gave me a questioning look.

"Is something wrong Serenity?" asked Amy. Amy was about my height, had blue hair, intelligent blue eyes and she was really, REALLY smart. Amy was always the one who remained calm during a crisis and she always seemed to find the answers, that's why I nicknamed her Ami. Sitting to the right of Amy was my impatient friend Raye. Raye was several inches taller than me, but I would never admit that, we both argued with each other alot but in truth I'd take a bullet for her. She had long, raven black hair that went down to her middle back and her eyes were a fiery red. I nicknamed her Rei. To the left of Amy sat my bubbly, carefree-seeming friend Mina. Mina always had a smile on her face and she always flirted with every guy who seemed cute to her. She was the same height as me, she had long golden blonde and bright sky blue eyes. Her nickname was Minako. My only missing friend was Lita, or as I call her Makoto. She had an over-powering love for cooking and cleaning so she decided that her station was going to be the kitchen.

"I want you to issue the command of Code: 9 to the androids in the precinct of the Cargo hold," I said just as I caught my breath again. If I didn't have their attention before I had it now. Raye's eyes narrowed, Amy got a thoughtful look on her face and Mina looked close to falling out of her chair.

"Whaaaat?!" All three of them questioned at once. Code: 9 was a silent command sent out to all of the androids on board the S. Senshi and it told them to close and lock all the secret doors to the cargo and weapons I wasn't supposed to have.

"What? Why?" Raye questioned.

"Look, look at the bottom of this list," was my answer as I turned my computer on again and in a flash sent to each of their terminals the information that had led me to the conclusion that these people were from Earth. They turned in their chairs and began to read the registration. "You see?"

"Are you thinking that these people could be apart of the G.J.S?" said Raye.

"Sere, do you think that this could be a trap?" asked Mina, her eyes were concentrated firmly on the floor but hints of fear were flitting across her face. Amy gently placed her hand on Mina's shoulder and whispered something in her ear and Mina managed a weak smile.

"I do not know whether or not they are from the G.J.S..." I whispered softly. Amy looked up at me and cleared her throat.

"We should be on our guard nonetheless, we should tell Lita to be on her guard but to not say nor do anything until we are entirely sure-"

"What if Serenity's suspicions are right? What if these men are here to give us a nice little tour back to the Gaian Solar System and a sweet little room inside the Galactic PRISON?!" Raye interrupted, and Mina began to tremble slightly. "We can't take any chances...we should just rid ourselves of them immediately and remove all doubt."

"But we don't know that! If we were to just shoot them and they turn out to be innocent citizen who went on a simple little tour and got stranded that regret will weigh upon your mind for the rest of your life!" Amy argued. That was when Mina joined into the argument.

"I agree with Amy, we shouldn't do anything unless we are sure that they mean us harm." My black haired friend sighed in admittance, then turned her face to me.

"Fine, the decision is up to the leader, you Serena." She said using their nickname for me.

'Huh?! Since when was I the leader?' I thought in confusion and I was so ready to argue with them but their expectant faces changed my mind. The only problem now was that the lives of these unknown men were in my hands...

"We won't do anything until we know what they are doing within this sector..." just as those words left my mouth my handheld began to flash. I once saw a picture from a book that Amy was reading and it was talking about twentieth century technology. One of those skinny white things they called 'Cell Phones' looked exactly like the tower of my computer. (An: Yes, they are REALLY advanced.) Pulling my handheld out of my pocket, I hit a series of buttons and the holographic screen flickered on. On the screen was Melvin and his face was red with what I think was nervousness. (An: it was a blush, he like Sere :P)

"Um...Sere, what did you want me to do again?" his voiced stuttered quietly over the handheld.

"Greet the guests and direct them to the bridge please."

"O- okay, Sere, could you convince Matoko to give me some of her cookies? She made a new batch but she told me that I couldn't have any 'til after supper!" he pouted. Melvin was just so cute when he didn't get his way that I had to laugh.

"Melvin you are just going to have to listen to Matoko, I have no authority in the kitchen."

"But-"

"No buts! Just do as you were told Melvin." Raye and Mina snickered silently as they listen to my conversation.

"Okay sere..." Then his image flickered off, I put my computer on standby and put in back in my pocket. After that I turned to Amy, my navigator, and questioned,

"Is the S. Senshi on auto pilot?" She nodded. "Ok, they will be here in a couple minutes..." Mina, my pilot, swung around to face her computer and began furiously typing in the password to activate the Code: 9 sequence. Suddenly all the computers in the room flashed red and Mine swung around again but this time a huge smile was plastered all over her face.

"Code: 9 has been activated and all androids are currently in the process of evacuating the halls of all the avoidable 'cargo'..."

"Let's hope you are right Amy..." Raye, my weapons expert and gunner, whispered. A dark shadow had clouded her face and her eyes smoldered momentarily.

OWIE! My wrist hurts so bad!! I spent a really long time trying to think of what to type for this chapter...I couldn't start the second chapter for The World's Corruption until I finished this so I had to force the beginning of this out and after that I got inspiration for the second half. Lol. Sorry if I'm confusing you. :P Thanks for reading this chappy and....
