Part 3
Year 19-29 (1999-2009).
Thanks to the introduction of "Robotechnology", which was introduced to the world after World War III, "hyper-science" was revolutionized. World War III had been started after several terrorists attacks involving nuclear weapons were planted in several cities, especially in the West. In response, the Western responded by sending it's military machine into the Middle East and elsewhere to fight against the Islamic fascists. This conflict ended when an alien fortress crashed near the Philippine Island, where, at the time, the Americans were conducting military operations against the Jiyadist in the region. The Technocratic Union sent Magistrate Tsukino, who had oversight in Asia to supervise the information extraction from the alien logs…
"Hey, Doc, take it easy," Roy Folker said, as he and Dr. Emil Lang waited for the VIP. "I'm sure that the United Nations wouldn't send some flaky representative."
"I know, I know," Lang responded. "I just don't want anything to disrupt a potential find such as this."
Soon, a black helicopter comes into view. It signals the ground crew that it will land. Afterwards, three occupants step forth. On of them was dressed all in white.
"Dr. Lang? Lt. Folker, I presume?" asked the woman in white.
"U.S. Navy, all the way," Folker replied smugly.
"Right. I'm Dr. Usagi Tsukino, the UN's Public Affairs officer. This is my colleague Miss Nabiki Tendo of the UN's Development and Economic Center and Dr. Hans Stingray from the Institute of Advance Cybernetic Studies in Japan."
Great, we're dealing with a pencil pusher and her flunkies, Roy thought to himself.
Typically, members of the Technocratic Union use governmental and corporate organizations as "fronts" for their covert activity. All was need were the right papers to gain acceptance as a member of such organizations.
"I am not sure why you are needed at this juncture," Lang said. "We have yet to do a preliminary assessment on this device."
"I will be honest with you, Dr. Lang. This artifact represents the beginning of a true one-world government."
"How so?" Roy replies.
Usagi tells the two that now that extra-terrestrial life-forms truly exist, then the people of the world can finally put aside their differences. Of course, the Technocracy knew that aliens were real, but has used the pretext of the crashed alien fortress to advance the time-table for global domination. Besides, if the intelligence gathered by the Void Engineers, the Technocracy's advance space and terrestrial exploration "convention", is accurate, then the Earth needs to prepare itself for "visitors".
In the meantime, Usagi and her entourage will have to assess the alien fortress' feasibility in the mainstream.
"That is an interesting explanation, Dr. Tsukino. I may not agree with it, but-"
"-You don't have a choice. Yes, I know, doctor. Now, if we can begin this assessment…"
Over the next ten years, Usagi extracts the data gathered by Dr. Lang and his team for CONTROL. In turn, Nabiki Tendo is there with Dr. Stingray to insure that Genom Corporation gain the bulk of the copyrightable material from the fortress.
At the same time, the Technocracy has increased its own level of technological capability. The New World Order (Usagi's principal home), which administers the Union's affairs, have increased its propaganda and levels of control over the masses; the Syndicate (Nabiki's turf) has cornered the market with its products, and controls 90 percent of the top trans-national corporations…and many illegal operations as well; Iteration X (Dr. Stingray's organization), with the help of the Syndicate, is mass-marketing advance cybernetic research, combat armor and computer system to the public, and has introduced advanced androids (such as Genom's "Boomers") into the public discourse; the Progenitors have introduced new lifeforms, drugs and medical techniques to the public; finally, the Void Engineers have secretly explored and mapped the so-called "final frontier", from the deepest seas to the farthest reaches of space, all in the name of dominating or co-opting other people or species.
After all, what you can control can't hurt you.
At any rate, since the fortress landed in Usagi's administered region of the world (i.e. the Far East), it was her job to insure that the Technocratic Union was ready to "greet" the aliens who will surely want to retrieve their missing ship.
Year 41.
"Damn you, Quincy!" Magistrate Usagi ("Sailor Moon") Tsukino, as she rode in her armored sedan with her security forces. Ever the so-called "Knight Sabers" had successfully exposed the Genom Corporation to the public, there have been protest after protest. Those Usagi and her "Men-in-Black" agents can deal with. Unfortunately, this ruffled the feathers of every paranormal around the planet, especially in "Neo-Tokyo". Whether the challengers were "super-powered martial artists" or WORSE, the Technocratic Union had a difficult time in containing these "reality deviants" on her turf. She supposes that it was inevitable that the next phase of her plan had to be implemented. And now, she has to personally lead a pogrom against these people, some of them were once her friends and love ones.
"I shouldn't have to clean up your messes," Usagi muttered to herself.
"Ma'am?" said Usagi's aide.
"Yes, Agent A?" Usagi asked.
"I have Gendo on the line."
"Thank you."
"Gendo" was the head of a Technocratic front called "Tokyo-3", whose sole purpose, unofficially speaking, was to use the alien-like "angels" to conduct research using battlefield conditions. The EVAs, organic-like mechanoids, were the result of this research, and if people had to be sacrificed, then so be it. There were those in SEELIE who would openly oppose Gendo's efforts, if the truth was known. Soon, however, it won't matter who knows what when Usagi gives Gendo the go-ahead for the next phase.
"Gendo, how are things?"
"Things are going to plan," Gendo replies. "You still remember the arrangement that we have made?"
"Of course. You will be awarded handsomely. Just be sure to initiate 'Lilith' within the jump gate by the Moon according to schedule. We have to make things look like an accident."
"Right. And Magistrate Tsukino?"
"Yes, Gendo?"
"It has been a pleasure working for you."
"You're quite welcome. Tell your son I said 'Hello'."
"I will do that."
And with that, the conversation ended, Usagi thought about why she has decided to destroy the world as she knew it.
Her decision came after she was invited to join the ranks of CONTROL, who over-saw the affairs of the Technocracy. Instead, thanks to her Lunarian heritage, she perceived the truth:
CONTROL did not exist.
CONTROL was made from the collective consciousness of the members of the Technocratic Union. The original members of CONTROL, in an effort to gain "enlightenment", divested themselves of their humanity. The end result was disembodiment. However, CONTROL's reputation allowed it to stay in control over the body. It wasn't until Usagi sought membership that she realized the truth.
And now, with this fact in hand, it was time to supplant CONTROL's influence, and thus take over the planet. For its own good, of course.
Thus, for some time now, Usagi has quietly supplanted her rivals and any other potential threat. Gendo, who's also a member of the Union, was a major backer of hers. She had met him and his family at a symposium years ago. And now, it was time to make a move, before CONTROL can regain its hand.
But first, she has a mess to take care of…
Luna D'Cat, who had assumed human form, hid among the boxes within the warehouse. She was a principal member of the Underground, ever since the Genom Corporation was exposed. She had hoped that her Moon Princess would see reason. However, neither she, nor her allies (especially the Sailor Scouts) have seen Usagi in years, though there have been rumors of her being around.
"Luna? Luna, are you there?"
Luna heard a familiar voice. Was this a trap? Already, the Underground has been captured or killed by a shadowy presence, presumably by those who ran Genom.
Cautiously, Luna peeked…
"Usagi? USAGI!"
Luna, already desperate for help, ran into the arms of the woman in white.
"Yes, its me, Luna."
"Where have you been? You should have been here to help us defeat the enemy of love and justice!"
"I know, I know. However, there's something that you should know."
"Oh? And what's that?"
"I'm that enemy."
"Wha-?"
BLAM!
As Luna's body dropped to the floor, Usagi handed her gun to her aide.
"See that you put this deviant's body into a proper cryo-stasis tube. I'll have use for it later."
"Yes, ma'am."
For the past 24 hours, Usagi has systematically eliminated those who would oppose her, including the Sailor Scouts.
"They'll never forgive you," said a voice.
Usagi turned to Setsuna ("Sailor Pluto") Meioh.
"It doesn't matter, Pluto. Once I have fashioned clone bodies, I'm in the clear. The Sailor Scouts will rise again…after the Third Impact. At least, you will have your Crystal Tokyo."
Year 99.
Thanks to the "accident" at the Lunar Space Gate, the Earth was plunged into a new Ice Age. This forced the Earth inhabitants to terraform and colonized the rest of the Solar System and beyond.
As for Usagi, now known as "the Neo-Queen Serenity", she had used the resources from her old Technocratic Union and the Silver Millennium crystal to gain complete supremacy over the Earth, which is now a paradise. After all, with the bulk of humanity off-planet, who could oppose her? Still, she needed to keep tabs on the rest of the Terran system, and she can't do that coop up in Crystal Tokyo. So, she ventures out whenever she can.
"Husband, I will take a trip to Mars with our daughter," Serenity states, as she sits on King Endymion lap in their personal quarters. "Besides, I miss Queen Raye."
"Of course, my darling," Endymion replies with affection. "Just be careful. There are still tension between the Earth and the Black Moon Family."
Recently, the members of the Black Moon Family were beaten back to the tenth planet, and have been quiet for a while. Thus, Serenity wanted to advantage of the calm.
"I'm glad that your are concerned for my safety, my husband."
It saddened Usagi that Mamoru was nothing more than her personal toy, of sorts. In fact, the only one who wasn't her puppet was Sailor Pluto, who ran Usagi's shadowy affairs. After all, you can't have the Queen of Love and Justice be seen to have a dark side.
Later, on Mars…
Vicious Moonchild looked askance, as a prominent figure disembarked from the Terran space plane. The interstellar security forces made it known that airport on this particular day were closed to the public. Of course, Vicious, being a member of the Red Dragons, had enough resources to protect his-
"Mother," Vicious said, as he greeted Serenity with open arms.
"My precious Vincent", Usagi said, as she hugged her wayward son.
"Big Brother!" Little Serenity said, as she jumped into Vicious' arms.
"Hey, snowflake," Vicious said, as picked up her half-sister. "Did the flight attendant treat you right?"
"He sure did, big brother!"
"Good."
"Vincent, I'm glad that you are here. Is Spencer…well?"
"Mother, you know that Spike Tendo and I have had a fallen out. The only reason why he's still alive is because of his blasted father's training."
"I know. The Saotomes are an expert in their Art. It's just that he is the son of a close friend of mine. Speaking of which, I will need to visit Nabiki during this trip. After all, she is the head of all Syndicate operations here on Mars."
"Mother, I really wish you allow me to take over operations here. The Red Dragons need to expand."
"And set you up as a target for the ISSA? You're still my child, you know. However, I will ask her if she is interested in becoming the head of ALL Syndicate operations, while you take over her planetary duties."
"Thank you, Mother."
"Just promise me that you live long enough to give me grandchildren."
And with that, Usagi and her children depart the airport terminal.
Usagi knew that she has done many things that were practically criminal, to become the ruler of humanity from the seat known as Crystal Tokyo. Maybe if she didn't feel betrayed that day, 100 years ago, when Mamoru and Rei kissed each other behind her back, she wouldn't have done what she did. And now, what she has done was create a False Eden…a paradise built upon quiet tyranny.
If only she didn't leave the life she left behind: that of a pure soul.
Next time: "Epilogue?"
