Prologue
She ran.
Tears pouring down her heart shaped face mixing with the rain that was lashing down like cats and dogs. 'Why did he do it? We were so happy then he had to go and ruin it all, he didn't even give me a reason, just said that we couldn't see each other any more.'
Stumbling slightly on a part of the pavement that was slightly raised, the girl pulled her jacket tighter and kept heading for her destination. The Jubban Park, and her favourite bench by the pond. It always made her feel like she was at home and at peace with the world, rather than the shattered chalice she felt like.
'Oh he is so infuriating! Yesterday he was telling me how I was the best thing in his life and today it's "I think we should break it off"' the tears that had mostly dried up started to fall again, trailing slowly down her cheeks as she sat on the wet bench, disregarding the fact that she was getting a wet bottom, and was also soaked to the bone. Her depression didn't leave room for mundane things like that.
She sat there. The ducks were out on the lake hustling this way and that, and she found herself envying them their happiness of the time. They didn't have to be worried about being dumped, and why they did it, whether to lie to their friends or not. All they had to worry about was the next meal really and when to fly south or where ever it was they went when they migrated.
Her mind was drifting back, and the images of the ducks was blurred, then gone. All she could see was his face, and his lips forming that one phrase of three tiny words, that dealt such a hard emotional blow.
We are through.
That was all it took for him to completely shatter the meaning of her existence and leave her in an upheaval of emotional turmoil. But did he really mean it? After all hadn't she seen a trace of regret in his eyes which he quickly hid before she turned and ran crying out the door?
The beeping of her communicator stopped the flow of her thoughts as she raised it to her face. "Everyone, there has been a youma attack at the Crown Arcade, I'm not sure how much longer I can hold it off. Please hurray…" She starred at the screen blankly before the words that Ami had spoken sunk in and she got up slowly off the wet park bench. Checking to make sure that no one was in sight, she raised her right hand and shouted, "Moon Crystal Power, Make Up" When the bright lights had died down, Sailor Moon now stood where once there had been a heart broken girl, before running in the direction of the Crown, which was two blocks away.
&~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~&~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*&
"Hold it, Youma!"
The shout came from up above, in the arched window near the roof of the crown. Suddenly a beam of light illuminated the shadowy figure and a young girl in a red, blue and white sailor suit was revealed. "I am the Pretty Suited Sailor Senshi who fights for love and justice. On behalf of the moon, I shall punish you!" Sailor Moon stated striking her familiar pose. Jumping down from the high ledge she took off her tiara in one fluid motion. "Moon Tiara Attack!"
The youma grasping Motoki by the throat, didn't see it coming, it sliced him through the stomach, causing him to drop his prey. "Mercury, Mars keep it occupied, I have to heal Motoki"
"Leave it to us" Mars replied as Sailor Moon ran passed them to Motoki's side. "Burning Mandala!" rings of fire flew out of the red suited senshi as she covered her leader's retreat.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" was heard straight after, effectively erecting a wall between the tree senshi, Motoki and the youma.
"Thanks Mercury, Mars" Sailor Moon said as she knelt by Motoki, her hand reaching up to her broach, which with out touching she brought the Ginzuishou out of. Smiling slightly, she fixed it to a pink wand with a crescent moon on it, which she had pulled out of her sub-space pocket. Raising it in the air she shouted "Moon Healing Escalation!"
Particles of light slowly descended over Sailor Moon and Motoki, when they left, the dark imprint of the youma's hand that had encircled Motoki's throat had disappeared, and he was breathing normally. Sailor Moon Sighed in relief as she looked from Motoki's slowly opening eyes to her friends and the barrier that separated them from the youma. Her eyes widened as she saw the ice wall break into shards and a huge spiked whip come hurling right at Mars. "No!!" she shouted as she ran in front of her friend and shielded her from the unstoppable blow.
"Sailor Moon!" Mars and Mercury gasped as the whip landed again on their leaders back and a sickening crack was heard.
Sailor Moon smiled, "I couldn't let it hurt my best friend…" she explained as she lapsed into unconsciousness, and lost her transformation.
"Usagi!" Venus exclaimed as she arrived at the scene with Jupiter right behind her. "You hurt my friend, for that you will pay. What do you say, shall we double-team them?" she asked Jupiter who was right behind her.
"Mmmmm." Jupiter nodded in agreement.
"Crescent Thunder!" 1 A rain of thunder and light came out of the sky, blowing the youma into pieces, and splattering it's green blood over the occupants and machines in the room.
"Usagi" Motoki yelled as he saw the girl collapse against Mars and Venus and Jupiter defeat the youma. "Usagi are you okay? Usagi answer me!" He cried as he ran over and grasped her shoulder. He gasped as he saw her fading in
and out, and his hand that was holding her shoulder was fading too.

"Kuso" the masked figuring lurking in the shadows swore, as his Usako and Motoki disappeared in a flash of light, before turning and exiting the Crown Arcade with out being seen

To Be Continued…
1: The link attack between Jupiter and Venus is from the Zsnes game "Sailor Moon: Another Story"
Well I hope you guys enjoyed this prologue, it is a bit different to how I usually write and I gotta say I like it. You guys are lucky I actually wrote this to, I have been so bogged down with homework, and then I've got work. It is really depressing. I managed to pull myself out of it after being inspired to write this whilst in Lit, I was spacing out during one of the teachers pointless dictations about how this and that were wrong in our Analytical Essays on William Blake's "The Tyger" when I thought it would be cool to mess around with when the Romance Saga of Sm was situated, and what happened at the crucial time of the break up, thus this fic was born. I'm not going to tell you what anime it is crossed with, I want that to be a surprise, as the characters appear in the next chapter, then you can flame me for my bad taste in crossovers. I just thought it would be a cool one to write as I haven't seen many, and not one that I really liked that much, so I am hoping to write one worth reading that doesn't take the other anime characters out of context. Wish me luck, k!
As always R&R your comments and views are crucial to how it will progress, there is only one rule, I do not want a review that says "Great story, I love it! Update soon k?" I know I'm guilty of writing them but I am trying to stop, as I would like my reviews to have some form of meaning or depth to them, k.
Ja ne,
Raye-chan
