Author: Queen Serenity
Fandom: Dragon Ball Z/Sailor Moon
Chapter: One
The garnet on Pluto's staff glowed brightly, drawing her attention to it. She closed her eyes and sighed; it seemed that the final inner princess had been born… Princess Serenity.
"Pluto."
The Time Soldier looked up to see Queen Serenity entering the room, carrying a tray holding two cups of tea.
The queen set the tray down on a small table, and handed Pluto one of the cups, which the other woman took gratefully. "They've all been reborn?"
Pluto nodded. "Yes. Your precious daughter was just now born as the daughter of another, a Miss Ilene Tsukino. Her new name is Serena Tsukino."
A look of pain flashed across the queen's face. Her daughter was not only her own, anymore… she was someone else's daughter now. "Pluto, I have a favor to ask of you."
Pluto looked curious. "Yes, your majesty?"
"The old enemies will eventually return, I know, along with the old ones. Before, the planetary powers of my daughter's court were not enough to defend against the powers of evil. What I would like you to do is give my daughter, along with her court, a fighting chance. I'd like you to arrange a way for them to be trained in the arts of fighting, and I do not mean just in the way of the planetary soldiers, either. I want them to be able to be strong."
Pluto frowned. "This may change her destiny, my queen, along with that of her court."
At this, the queen smiled. "I really do not care, Pluto. My daughter had to live under the constraints of being a princess during the Silver Millennium. Now, if she must later bear the weight of defending the Earth, I want her to have the strength to do so. And if she grows up fighting, then perhaps… perhaps she'll find some joy in fighting the actual enemy when the time comes."
Pluto nodded in understanding. "I understand, my queen. If that is your choice, then so be it. I know the perfect one to train them." She groaned slightly, and sighed. "I just hate to think of what I'll have to do to convince him. In four years time, I'll do as you request, and I shall make the arrangements…"
With that, both the Time Soldier and the former Lunar Queen turned to watch the large mirror which encompassed one wall of the room. The mirror was for watching people in time; all you had to do was think of a certain person, and they would appear in the mirror. Currently, the mirror showed a tired-looking woman with wavy blue hair, holding her newborn golden-haired little girl.
