ATTENTION ALL READERS: I have successfully attempted to revamp my fic 'Shadow Of A Scout' and this is the final product. I have taken the advice of all reviews and the advice of several renowned authors at FF.Net and especially those of the Gundam Wing/Sailor Moon realm. A special thanks to Sailorcelestial and Girl-Chama for all their support and advice. I thank the both of you for your time and patience. Anyway, on with the story, huh?

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing, however I do own the idea of the Tre Young/Sailor Universe and Pyrone Reigns characters. I have a copyright on these characters, so don't use without my permission. I'm at fightinfalcon16@yahoo.com.




Chapter 1 - Revelation

A party was being thrown in the Moon Palace during the eve of the Kingdom's collapse. Princess Serenity and the princesses of the Inner Court were all dancing the night away with princes, royal palace guards, and Prince Endymion himself. The Earth prince was currently talking to another young man whom was hidden in the shadows, one with shoulder-length dreadlocks and twin earrings in either earlobe, as the silhouette portrayed him. This young man was wearing a full suit of black armor. The suit came with a black cape, inside and out all black velvet. A rather long and menacing sword was strapped to the back of this shadowy figure.

"Are you sure about this, Sailor Soldier of the Universe?" the prince asked the figure.
"As sure as I am that this moon circles the Earth," the deep voice replied.
"I will prepare at once!"

As the prince left, the figure emerged from the shadow. His green eyes scanned the whole of the throng through his light brown dreads, spotting notable personnel: Queen Serenity, Princess Serenity, the princesses of the Inner Court, Princess Venus, the Earth generals, Princess Venus, the dreaded grunt guards, and Princess Venus. He mentally slapped himself for not staying focused, for the lives of these people relied on him at this very moment.

He saw the tallest of the grunts coming toward him. He was a tall and dark man, very serious and cold. His long hair pulled back into a long, black ponytail and a dark ring of facial hair surrounding his lips and chin. The young man followed the grunt, not saying a word as he passed Princess Venus. They locked eyes but for a moment and he moved on. He found himself facing Queen Serenity.

"My Queen," the deep Scottish voice of the grunt said. "Prince Universe."
"Thank you," Queen Serenity waved him away. "Prince Universe."
"My Queen," Prince Universe bowed. "How may I serve you?"
"I sense that your powers have increased beyond even mine, even surpassed that of the Silver Imperium Crystal," Queen Serenity said knowingly. "Although, you have shown immense loyalty to my kingdom and have never once refused a request."
"Very true, your Majesty," Prince Universe replied. "What is it you'll have me do?"
"I need you to go and fight off the Negaverse long enough to allow me to send off the spirits of yourself and the other Sailor Soldiers as we will all perish tonight."
"You are very right my Queen," the prince said. "I will succeed."

He bowed one last time and left to complete his mission. As he was to leave the palace, a hand grabbed his arm. It was a soft grip, not one of a man, at least. He wheeled around, forcing himself to look curious. He was then shocked to find it was Princess Venus that had him. She looked absolutely stunning in that orange gown, not to mention the sheer beauty of the natural sheen on her supple lips. Her blue eyes stared into his green, studying him as he stood there, seemingly off guard.

He managed to smirk, "Well?"
"Can a princess ask her prince for a dance?" she asked him coyly.
"She can," he replied. "But may she is the real question?"
"Or should the prince do the honors?" she chuckled.
"My dearest princess," he exaggerated his bow. "I must leave you for I have important business that needs immediate attention."

With that, he strode off into the night without so much as a goodbye kiss. She was left to hold the black talisman he had given her as a good luck charm.

-Later on that evening-

"My dear Venus," he croaked. "Oh God, what have I done to you?"

Around him lay the bodies of the Royal Guard grunts, the Sailor Soldiers, Prince Endymion, and Queen Serenity herself. He fell to his knees in the moon's dusty battlefield, next to his beloved and betrothed Venus. He held her lifeless head in his hands, bent down to touch his cheek on hers, and wept. Suddenly, he threw his head back and let loose a scream of rage, anger, and grief. He laid Venus's head on the ground and took to flight.

'Beryl, I'm going to kill you,' he thought. 'I'm going to tear your heart out through your throat and feed it to you.'

"BEWARE BERYL!" he screamed. "SAILOR UNIVERSE IS GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU RUTHLESS WHORE!!"


He raced toward the portal that would bring him to the Negaverse. He knew he wouldn't defeat Beryl while blinded by his rage. But that was if he could get past her wave of minions alive. He was enraged, hurt, scared, and shocked.

'I've failed,' he thought. 'The Sailor Soldier of Shadow and Universal Knowledge has failed his duty to protect the other Sailor Soldiers, the Queen, and the peace of the kingdom. Venus, please forgive your fiancé.'

"I'VE FAILED!!" Universe yelled at the outer realm of space.
