Chapter 2- To the Past

It was a quiet and bleak world with very little light. Thousands of crystals dotted the barren landscape. There were odd creatures trapped in the center of each crystal, their faces locked forever in a look of pure horror. Pluto tried not to look too long at each one as she searched for the one crystal that held what had once been a good man. As she stopped to look at another crystal, she heard something behind her shuffle to a stop. She remembered again the warning Uriel had given her before coming here, "Sometimes the dreams those unfortunate souls are forced to relive become a reality, and sometimes those realities are real enough to hurt, but not be hurt."

Pluto quickened her pace and so did the thing following her. Dozens of faces flashed past, but they still weren't the right one. The thing behind her roared, and then, in the distance about 100 feet away, it was him. Pluto broke into a run. When she reached him, she smashed the butt-end of her staff into the crystal. As it began to shatter, Pluto looked back at the behemoth running towards her. The creature's eyes were bloodshot and set far apart on a short, flat head. It had two sets of razor sharp teeth. The creature was well over 6 feet, and its arms barely touched the ground. There were claws on each finger that were at least 2 inches long.

Behind her, the crystal broke apart, dropping the man inside to the ground. "Huh? What.? What's going on?" the man asked groggily. The living nightmare charged at Pluto at that moment.

"No time to explain right now. We've got to go," and with that, Pluto grabbed his arm and returned to the Time Stream.

The creature skidded to a stop where the duo had been a few seconds before. "Darn, I missed." A dark shadow descended next to the creature.

"That's alright. We'll get them next time before they make their precious princess too strong."

"Welcome to the Time Stream, General of Earth. I am Sailor Pluto, the Guardian to the Gates of Time."

"General of Earth? Humph, not likely. I'm surprised you don't know who I am Sailor Trash. I am General Jedaite of the Negaverse. If you're a Sailor Scout, then why did you free me?"

"I freed you because two people need you to protect them."

"Oh really? I'm not really in the business of protecting; I prefer to destroy."

"That will change as you regain your real memories, and they will help you to do that." Pluto pointed in the distance where three figures were emerging through the mists. As they drew closer, Jedaite saw that they were none other than his old friends, Malachite, Nephlite, and Zoicite.

"Hello, Jed. You haven't changed a bit, but that will in a minute. You're needed to help protect Sailor Earth," Malachite said.

"Traitors! You would help those Sailor Brats? Why?"

"The same reason you will. Let's get started guys," said Zoicite.

"Okay, here we go. Jupiter General Power!" Nephlite shouted.

"Mercury General Power!" Zoicite chanted.

"Venus General Power!" Malachite cried.

A green, blue, and orange light surrounded each of the generals, and then encompassed Jedaite as well. Images flashed through his mind as he was forced to remember the truth. The three colors surrounding Jedaite faded only to be replaced by his own red aura, then it too faded away. Jedaite sank to his knees, crying unabashedly. Then he whispered softly, "Raye, what have I done?"

Meanwhile (Ayame: Aah! More story jumps! Aah!) in a living room far, far away.

"Ooh, my head. What a weird dream. A talking dog, yeah right; like something that cool would ever happen to me," Molly said, putting a hand up to her head to massage it. Then she noticed the breathing on her arm accompanied by the sound of someone panting.

"Nope, sorry, I'm not a dream, and I'm not a dog. I'm Xantara the Earth Wolf," as he was speaking, molly opened her eyes and focused on him, then unfocused again. "Oh no you don't! You're not going back to sleep again! I've waited an hour for you to wake up!" Xantara began licking Molly's face vigorously.

"Aah! Okay! Okay! I'm up! Stop it!" Molly bolted upright and began wiping the dog saliva off. Xantara just sat there with a dog-grin, panting. "All right Xan-whatever, who are you, and why are you in my house?"

"Xan-tar-a! Learn it! I am the advisor to the Earth King and Queen, but because they are dead, I'll have to settle on Sailor Earth, meaning you."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Sailor Earth? What do you mean Sailor Earth? I don't have any special powers like the Sailor Scouts!"

"I know. I have to give them to you. Unfortunately, I can't start you off as powerful as the rest of the Scouts; that much power into your untrained body would destroy you. I'll have to start you off with the weakest transformation, but as you grow stronger, I'll give you your new transformations. I'm going to give you your first transformation stick. Hold it over your head and say 'Earth Power.' Okay?"

Xantara barked and a Henshin stick fell from thin air. Molly caught it and stood admiring it. It looked exactly like the sticks the Inner Scouts had in the beginning, only it was brown and had Earth's symbol on top. Xantara looked at her expectantly.

"Well, here goes nothing. Earth Power!" A brown light appeared and traveled around Molly in a spiral to the ground. The Earth lifted up and conformed to her body like a suit. It shattered to reveal Sailor Earth. Molly went to the mirror in the hallway to look at herself; Xantara followed. "Wow. I am Sailor Earth. I can't wait to tell Serena!"

"Uh, one thing. You can't tell anyone who you are. ever."

"But why? Serena is my best friend! I tell her everything!"

"Yes, but telling her could be potentially dangerous. If one of your enemies found out that this Serena knew you, they might hurt her to get to you."

"Oh wait a minute! Enemies! What enemies?"

"As soon as you transformed, you gained all the enemies of the Sailor Scouts. On the plus side, you get to meet all the Scouts and find out who they really are."

"Oh well great. I might get blown up by a bunch of crazy youmas, but hey, I get some new friends. That makes it all better," Molly said rolling her eyes.

"Stop complaining and hold still! I need to open the door to your memories." Xantara put his paws on Molly's shoulders and touched his nose to hers. A small light flashed when they touched, then he dropped back to the floor. "There, all done."

"That's it? I don't feel any different. By the way Xantara, why do I have white hair and yellow eyes?"

"I dunno. Maybe Pluto can tell you. Speaking of which, we should go to the Time Stream now."

"The Time Stream? Why do we need to go there?"

"You sure do ask a lot of questions. All right, I'll start at the beginning, and try to keep up. We need to go to the Time Stream to go to the past version of Japan to save Mini-Moon who has been kidnapped and is in grave danger. We also have to go to the Time Stream to meet up with your 4 protectors from the Moon Kingdom, and before you start asking whom the protectors are and what the Moon Kingdom is, you'll remember eventually since I unlocked your memories. The other Scouts also need your help to defeat an enemy from that Era. All right, you with me so far?"

"Yes, I think so. So how are we going to explain where I'm going to be to my mom?"

"That's the fun thing about being able to travel through time; we'll just come back at the exact time we leave. Your mother won't even be given the opportunity to know you're gone. Well, if there are no more questions, I suggest we meet up with your protectors."

"Alright, let's go." There was a flash of light, and they were gone.

Meanwhile, back with our grief-stricken heroes. (Ayame: Oh the humanity! Oh the torture! Oh the story jumps!)

Sailor Moon sat on the ground, crying uncontrollably. Tuxedo Mask was holding her trying to comfort her. Sailor Neptune was helping was helping the old man and the boy, both of which had gone into shock that the Sailor Scouts had come to save them. Sailor Uranus and Mars were trying to get some answers from the girl Mini-Moon had saved, while Mercury was scanning the bee remains and the shards for clues with her mini-computer. The rest of the Scouts were in a group trying to comfort the guilt-ridden Saturn.

"All right little girl." Uranus started.

"My name is Kagome!" the girl interrupted, "And that's my brother, Souta, and my grandpa."

"Fine, whatever. Do you know what these little pink shards are, or why those bees were trying to kidnap you?"

"Well, you're probably not going to believe me. It's a pretty weird story."

"Try us," Mars said threateningly.

"Okay, well here goes." and Kagome launched into the story of how she met Inuyasha and about the Shikon no Tama.

"Hmm. Interesting. My computer is showing that those bees aren't youma, but actually youkai. And these crystals are very powerful, but they are only part of something greater and more powerful," Mercury murmured to herself before continuing her scans.

Luna and Artemis overheard Kagome talking about the Shikon no Tama and exchanged knowing looks.

"Uh oh."

"Uh oh? What uh oh? Tell me! Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me." Diana droned on.

"I should have done more to save her!" Saturn cried.

"You protected the innocent people like you were supposed to Saturn. There wasn't anything else you could have done. Don't beat yourself up. We'll get her back, I'm sure of it," Mina said.

"Yeah, and if they don't give her back willingly, then I'll just beat the crap out of them until they do," Lita said, cracking her knuckles.

Hotaru giggled, "Thanks guys."

"So, you probably think I'm making all this up, don't you?" Kagome asked the shocked Senshi of Uranus and Mars.

"Oh no. We always meet guys with dog-ears pinned to trees for 50 years by a single arrow shot by our past selves. Guys in monkey suits always harass us with giant killer bees-demons for pets. We were asked to marry a leader of a wolf pack, too. Oh, and we are always having to fight demons. Yeah, right," Mars said skeptically.

"Mars, we do fight demons all the time," Uranus whispered into her ear.

"Heh, heh. Oh right. I forgot." Kagome face-vaulted.

"And Kagome is telling the truth," Pluto said appearing in a flash of purple light. "Small Lady is in great danger. You must all travel to Feudal Japan and rescue her. I will take all of us there through the Bone Eater's Well."

"Well then, what are we waiting for?" Serena shrieked, "We have to go rescue her!"

"Right!" everyone else cried in unison.

"All right. Everyone hold hands. Luna, Artemis, and Diana, hang on tight. Kagome, are you coming with us?" Kagome nodded. "Okay everyone, here we go." Pluto held her rod above her head and everyone disappeared in a purple bubble. The bubbly flew down the well. and then up the well.

Meanwhile (Sessuna: Noooo! Not at the good part!) (Ayame: Fine, fine. I'll keep writing.)

The 10 people and 3 cats emerged in a clearing; they could see a village in the distance.

"We should de-transform to conserve our energy," Neptune suggested.

"Wow! I'm going to find out who the Sailor Scouts really are! This is so cool!"

"Yeah, and if you ever tell anyone who we are, I'll kill you."

"Uranus!"

"Sorry Neptune," she mumbled, and everyone turned back into their street clothes. Everyone was in their school uniforms except Raye and Darien.

"You're a priestess?" Kagome asked spying Raye in her priestess outfit.

"At the Cherry Hill Temple. My name is Raye Hino."

"I'm Mina Aino. Nice to meet you."

"Amy Mizuno. The pleasures all mine."

"Serena Tsukino. Hiya!"

"Haruka just grunted. "Haruka! Sorry about her. I'm Michiru Kaiou and this is Haruka Tenou. We are honored to meet you."

"Darien Chiba. How do you do?" Darien was wearing his usual green blazer, black shirt, and pants.

"Hotaru Tomoe. Nice to meet you!"

"I am Setsuna Meiou and we are wasting time. We should head for the village down there and get someone who knows the area to help us."

"Oh, okay. By the way, my name is Kagome Higurashi. We'll probably find Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Shippou in the village. They live in this era and can help us find Mini-Moon."

"All right then, we should get moving," Serena said.

Meanwhile with Rini. (Ayame: So close to finally seeing Inuyasha, too! I am such a biotch!)

The bee carrying the still crying Rini was flying towards a forest clearing. As they got nearer to it, the sound of buzzing grew louder. Rini stopped screaming as she saw the source of the buzzing was hundreds of bees, and sitting on the ground in the middle of them, was a man wearing a white monkey suit. He looked up as the duo came closer.

"Drop her," came the command from within the suit.

"Ow! That hurt! Who do you think you are, getting that bee to kidnap me? Do you even know who I am or what I could do to you?"

"Silence child! Where is Kagome?"

"Who? Oh, that must be the name of the girl I saved. What did you want with her?"

"I want her crystals. Go! Kagome has probably returned to this time to tell her precious hanyou what happened. Find her. Bring her back alive; kill everyone else you find, " he ordered the bees.

"Hey! Hello? Answer me!"

Naraku turned on Rini slowly, "You have interfered in my plans and have possibly set me back for weeks, and now it is time to punish you," he said coldly.

"That's where you're wrong! I am Super Sailor Mini-Moon and in the name of the future Moon, I will punish you!" Rini charged up for her attack, but before she could use it, Naraku blasted her with toxic gases.

Rini lay on the ground, reeling from Naraku's attack. He walked up to her slowly and hit her with another blast, forcing her to de-transform. Rini started crying uncontrollably.

The crescent moon appeared on her forehead and hit Naraku with a powerful blast. All he had time to say before he was turned to dust was, "What is this power?" The bees had already left and Rini was left alone in the woods in a strange time.

End of Chapter 2

Ayame: Not much of a cliffhanger here, but it'll have to do. Next chapter, providing we get some reviews, I'll get to Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru; otherwise I'm going to prolong Inuyasha and his friends from meeting anyone for as long as is possible. Just imagine what we can do with Miroku and the Scouts' short skirts, too.

Sessuna: Wow! Miroku and short skirts. Sango is going to be so mad.
