Present day, San Francisco, CA:
Usagi Tsukino dragged herself to her home of a few years. She ached all over, but, then again, fighting The Kurgan and receiving "The Prize" wore her out.
As she made her way into the front door, one of her roommates rushed to greet her.
"Usagi!" Paige cried, as she caught a tired Usagi. "Guys, she's back!"
"Paige, don't make such a big deal…" Usagi said tiredly.
Phoebe and Piper come rushing to Usagi's aid, while Leo, Piper's husband, cradled his newborn son.
"Well, we're just glad that you won your fight instead of the Kurgan guy," Piper quipped.
The Charmed Ones knew that had Usagi lost her fight, the world would have been plunged into eternal darkness.
"Here," Usagi said, as she handed "Hadafang" to Phoebe. "Hadafang" was Arwen's sword, which was made by the finest Elven craftsmen. Also, her grandfather Lord Elrond had used it, when he fought Lord Sauron during the Second Age of Man.
"I really wish you wouldn't keep your 'toy' in the house, Usagi," Piper said.
"Hey, lighten up," Phoebe said, as she wrapped Usagi's sword. "She matured enough to know how to use her weapon responsibly."
"Yeah, Usagi's REALLY mature."
"I heard that!" Usagi retorted.

Usagi was drying her hair when she noticed that her answering machine's message received light was blinking.
"Hmmm…"
Usagi pressed the incoming call button to hear her messages.
BEEP!
"Usagi, this is Momaru. Ami gave me this number for which I can use to contact you with. I…I just wanted to call to see if you are okay. Call me."
BEEP!
Oh, now he's concerned! Usagi thought to herself.
Usagi knew that being an Immortal was stressful on relationships, but she and "Mamo-chan" been through too much to officially break up over a slight misunderstanding involving one of the Sailor Stars. Besides, that was a long time ago, and Momaru wanted some space when he went to America for both career and educational opportunities.
Sigh.
Usagi went to her bedroom window and look outside. Her room was situated so that she could see the Golden Gate Bridge.
As she admired the night view, Usagi thought back to how she first met her one true love…
FLASHBACKFall, 1993.
"Usagi, breakfast!" yelled Ikkuko.
"Coming, Mother!" Usagi yelled, as she did some last minute touch-ups to her person before going down stairs. For the past two years, Usagi has been living with the Tsukino family, who took her end after being released from Tokyo General Hospital. Still suffering the affects of amnesia (thanks to a bombing caused by cultist from Japan's highlands) and not having any documentation to identify her, it was thought that Usagi's best interest was for her to be placed in a home. Mr. And Mrs. Ken and Ikuko Tsukino, and their young son Shango, welcomed Usagi. In return, Usagi had adopted the Tsukino family name to make her new life complete. On occasion, Usagi has demonstrated abilities that far outstripped a person of her apparent age, that of a teenaged girl. The doctors reasoned that her old memories were trying to surface, and that it would be a matter of time before Usagi could remember.
"Don't scarf down your food, Usagi," Ikkuko said.
"Okay," Usagi replied.
After Breakfast, Usagi ran for school. She really didn't want to be late again-
"Hey, look at that cat!" said one boy.
"Yeah!" said another. "Let's pick on it!"
Usagi, not wanting the animal harmed, went up to the boys.
"Say," Usagi began, "I hear someone crying out in pain."
"Well," the first boy began warily, "I don't hear nothing!"
Usagi quickly grabbed the first boy's friend, and pinched his arm. Hard.
"OWWWWWW!"
"You two better scram. Now."
And with that, the boys ran off.
"Say, are you alright, kitty cat?"
Usagi then saw the bandage on the cat's head.
"Hmm. What's this?" Usagi said, as she went to remove the bandage.
As soon as she did, the cat scratched her.
"Ow!"
And then the cat scampered off.
"Humph," Usagi said, as she looked at her wound. As she did so, Usagi saw that her wounds were quickly healing.
Speaking of which, she always wondered how she could heal rapidly. Her physician, the one who has attended her needs, since the time of the hospital, tends to dismiss it. While Usagi found this strange, she did take Dr. Keiko Kawazawa's advice in keeping her "gift" a secret. So, that's that.
However, it would not be the last time Usagi would see the feline.
Later, outside of her best friend's jewelry shop…
Damn, Usagi thought. Earlier, Naru's mother was having a jewelry blowout sale in her shop. Now, she was back at the same store, thanks to this talking cat named "Luna".
"You have to transform!" Luna yowled, after producing a short wand.
"Fine," Usagi said, as she picked up the device. "Now what?"
"Say the first thing that is on your mind."
"Huh?"
"Don't THINK it. Say it, girl."
Say it, lass.
Huh? Usagi thought. Ever since meeting Luna, she has been receiving snippets of "memory". For example, she just recalled a man with long, white hair and beard who wore white robes. He was holding a staff of some kind-
"Usagi!" said the cat.
"Oh, sorry about that. 'Moon Prism MAKE-UP!"
And the rest, as they say, is history.
***
Two years later, Usagi has come to her own as the Senshi of Love and Justice "Sailor Moon". However, after dealing with Sailors Galaxia and Chaos, and their minions, the Sailor Scouts have drifted apart. Ami has left for Europe as a foreign exchange student, while Minako moved to Hollywood, California, to start up her film career, taking Luna and Artemis with her. Rei had recently signed a recording contract to produce a J-Pop record, while Makoto moved to Kyoto to attend the Culinary Academy to become a professional chef. And while Michiru is on her world tour as a violinist, Haruka is on the Indy 500 GT circuit as a racer. The only ones who are still around were Setsuna and Hotoru, with Setsuna watching Hotoru until either Michiru or Haruka returned.
However, the worst of it was that Usagi and Mamoru had drifted apart as a couple. While he cared for her, Mamoru didn't like being pressured into marrying her. Coupled with the fact that Usagi admitted having feeling for one of the gender changing "Sailor Starlights, primarily because s/he was there for her, while Mamoru was studying abroad, the future King and Queen of Earth have decided to cool their relationship. And since Setsuna did not make any objections, Usagi and Mamoru have decided to remain friends.
So, what to do now? Usagi thought.
Usagi was in a different section of town, after deciding to take the subway.
"Hmmm," Usagi mused. "Tomoboki or Nerima…."
Usagi flipped a yen-piece.
"Nerima it is, then."
After leaving the subway, Usagi wondered the streets, thinking how potent the magical resonance the place was. Getting hungry, she decided to try the first food shop.
"Welcome to 'Ucchan's'," said the girl at the counter. "What can I get you?"
"Um, let's see," began Usagi, as she scanned the menu. "I'll try…'The Special'."
"One special, coming up!"
Odd, Usagi thought. Why is that giant spatula strapped to her back?"
Suddenly…
"What a haul!" said a voice.
"Come back here!" said another.
"You no take from Shampoo!" said a girl.
"What's that?" Usagi asked.
"Probably that pervert again," the girl said.
Usagi, out of curiosity, stepped outside.
"Hey, your food is almost-" the cook began, as she followed her customer.
Usagi watched as two teenagers were fighting an old dwarf, who was carrying a bag full of women's underwear.
"Wow," Usagi.
"Yeah, it's impressive," the girl said. "Ranma is one tough cookie."
BAM!
"Got ya, you freak!" the teen said, as he slammed the dwarf into the ground.
The dwarf slowly rose, apparently furious.
"How dare you hurt your master-" the dwarf began, as his battle aura began to grow. Then, he saw Usagi standing in front of "Ucchan's".
"Serena?"
"Huh?" Usagi said.
"SERENA-CHAN!" the dwarf said, as he leaped onto Usagi.
"GAH!" Usagi said, as she gave off a warding sign.
"You ain't going to grope her!" the teenaged boy yelled.
However, instead groping Usagi, the dwarf hugged her affectionately.
"Ugh…"
"It's good to see you!"
"Hey, what's going on here?" the boy said.
"Yeah, I would like to know that as well," said the owner of "Ucchan's".
"Well, Shampoo no care," said the girl with the lavender hair. "Shampoo takes back her undergarments."
A short time later…
Shampoo walked into the "Cat Café", and was greeted by a wizened woman on a staff.
"There you are, great granddaughter," said the woman. "You should get the lunch menus ready."
"Of course, great grand mother," Shampoo replied.
"So, what happened between Son-in-Law and Happosai?"
Shampoo told what she witnessed.
The old woman frowned.
"Describe this…girl to me."
Shampoo did so.
"So…she is alive still…"
"What is it, great grand mother?"
"Nothing. Just get lunch ready."
"Yes, great grand mother."
The old woman hopped to the upstairs. She then went to a closet, hopped off her staff and pulled out a chest. She then opens…
"There you are," Cologne said, as she pulled out "Hadafang", an ancient sword that she has had since her Mother left it in her care as a teen centuries ago.
"I think it's time that you return to your Mistress."
Tbc.
Author's note: For the bulk of the story, we will take a look at the ten years since Usagi's accident in 1993 (the year she was adopted by the Tsukino family, and subsequently becoming "Sailor Moon"), to the year Usagi earned "The Prize". Expect plenty of guest stars to show up, especially those who knew Usagi back when she was "Serena" (a few of them are practically ancient). If you have any recommendations, let me know. So far, I've included elements from "Lord of the Rings", "Highlander", "Charmed", and "Ranma ½".
See you soon!
