The Dark Prince

Beginnings

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon.

Metalia seethed as well as an inhuman blob of pure energy could. Those moon brats had foiled her plans again! First their forces and then their Queen. At least she was able to kill the little nitwit and her daughter before she was sealed back to this dreadful place.

She glanced at her deceased army and gave a rueful sigh, she might as well use the most of her energy to rebuild her dark empire. She was going to be trapped here a long time.

After a few hundred years had past, Metalia had been able to rebuild her forces, but she needed the old Queen she had chosen to rule the idiots. She materialized in front of the glass casing that she had put Beryl's and the Terrain Prince's body in. She would have enough to revive Beryl as she was but that blasted woman wouldn't be satisfied or sane enough until that handsome Prince was with her. So reincarnation was the path that Metalia chose.

Metalia allowed death to finally consume the Prince's body and watched as it rapidly decomposed. Flesh melting, muscles vanishing, and bones becoming brittle until nothing but ashes was left of the Prince. Focusing the rest of her energy Metalia sent her energy and being into the red-haired corpse. A shrill menacing shriek filled the air as Beryl's pale body filled with life.

A beautiful night sky.

A grand view from the mountains.

The deafening sound of squealing tires.

Horrified screams and a vicious laugh.

The sick feeling of flying.

Blood.

Those were the only memories that could comfort the seven year old Mamoru as he laid in the cold hospital bed. Nothing else remained in his mind, even his own name was a vague remembrance that had been given by the doctor. He was orphaned and alone. The murder of his parents was the last consuming thought that would be given to him as he left the hospital's sterilized environment to the supposedly friendly orphanage. Of course, he never made it there.

Before he could reach his destination, a tall man with stark white hair quickly knocked out the hospital workers around him by facing his palm towards them. They slowly fell on their knees as if their energy had been sucked from them. A sinister grin played across his lips.

His built and tan form was clothed with a gray uniform of some type and his hands that had disposed of the workers were incased in pristine white gloves. "Come with me." He sneered as he grabbed the frantic and scared little boy. They soon vanished in a black wind.

Mamoru's young eyes were soon introduced to a dark world that would become his home for the next ten years of his life. Ominous statues, dark caverns, and disfigured walls littered the bleak landscape. "Welcome home, little Prince."

The Dark Prince's boots clicked along the dark marble floor as he approached the throne room. Queen Beryl had called, once again disturbing him and his nearly completed training. His generals, Kunzite, Nephrite, Jadeite, and Ziosite, had all been attacking him, seeing if was truly worth to become their next King and he would have succeeded if it had been for that annoyance called Beryl.

He could probably surpass Queen Beryl with just a little more time. He would have like to see if she could hold up against an intellectual debate with Zoisite, or if he could meditate and bring forth a stronger power than Nephrite, or take down Jadeite with ease, or out-strategize Kunzite. Of course she could do none of these things, all she could do was complain and throw around her insults and power around like a spoiled brat of 5. The only thing she held over Endymion was her age and that Metalia had chosen her as her heir of power.

Endymion knew that he was meant to marry Beryl. He knew when he had first developed as a young man and began receiving lusty looks from the aforementioned Queen. Not that she wasn't a fiery gorgeous woman with her crimson lips and wavy copper locks, but frankly Endymion was above her and she didn't possess anything that Endymion desired.

Endymion threw open the doors with a loud bang that echoed off the cavernous to let the precious Queen know of his anger.

"My my, dear little prince, what has gotten you so riled?" Beryl purred with seductive air. Her thin lips curved into a small smile, knowing exactly what she had done.

Holding back his need to strangle her, Endymion tightened his hands into fists and growled out, "What is it you need, my Queen."

"I need many things, my precious, but I would like for you to go to Earth and check out their defenses. I will be sending a low-life youma with you to insure your safety. Perhaps you can gather some energy while you're at it?" Her nearly black eyes gleamed with fire and lust. She couldn't wait till it was time for them to be joined eternally.

Endymion stoic mask nearly fell into one of disgust but held it in check as he left the ominous room. "What is it that the Queen wanted, my Prince?" rang a deep voice.

"Ah, Kunzite. Please gather the others and join me in the study."

Endymion had quickly shrugged off the disgust from earlier and allowed the excitement of returning to Earth fill his being. There he would be free of Beryl's ever watching eyes and allowed to roam of his own free will.

'Perhaps, I should visit my Earth parents' graves.' Endymion thought with a grimace. Yes, he knew that it was Beryl who had taken his family with him and she would pay dearly. Of course he also needed to thank her no matter how much he repulsed the thought. If it hadn't been for her, he would have never had the chance to rule his glorious Dark Kingdom, have met his Generals, or found the power and passion to destroy her.

Endymion's powerful and built form entered his private study and relaxed his form slightly. Beryl had little power here and it was Endymion's sanctuary.

The generals' light murmur of discussion had stopped at the approach of their Prince and their eyes widened slightly at the small grin that graced his features. "My dear friends, I am going to Earth."

It was Jadeite that first spoke. His short blonde hair and blue-gray eyes that usually held fire and passion were widened in surprise. "You get to return to Earth?" he asked enviously.

His generals had been reincarnated like him but it had been a hundred years before Endymion's time and Kunzite was the only one to see it in the past hundred and ten years when he had taken Endymion.

Endymion gave a small nod and went to sit at his desk facing opposite from his guards. Zoisite stared at the floor in thought, his long blonde hair falling over his pale green eyes. Nephrite, with his chestnut locks and large frame, had a large grin on his handsome face and his twinkling brown orbs were shining; he was always the most jolly out of the whole lot. Kunzite sat like a statue as usual, but you could see curiosity within his light silver eyes.

"The queen has decided to begin the preparation for invasion?" asked Zoisite quietly.

"It seems so."

"And of course she would send her precious little prince," joked Nephrite. Endymion gave a low growl at that and bared sharp pointed incisors at the young man.

Living in the Dark Realm had some strange effects on Earthlings. Its dark energy warped the body making it more animalistic and threatening. The Generals had super human abilities, besides that which they already had, and gave them a nice set of claws and fangs that would appear when threatened. But being the Dark Realm's Prince gave Endymion the whole packaged deal with increased senses and power. It was a blessing and a curse. A curse when he was near Beryl because he could smell her awful stench mixed with lust.

Getting over Nephrite's comment, Endymion quickly changed the topic. "Yes, anyway, this means our uprising shall come soon. As the Dark Realm gains more energy, we'll be able steal some in small amounts over time, thus increasing our power and chances of overthrowing Beryl."

At this all the men smiled.

"My dear little Prince, I have given you a large account of Earthling money to do as you wish during your stay on Earth. From now on, you will being living there partly and overseeing most of the Dark Kingdom's attacks there on Earth. But I shall expect you to visit, because you know I shall miss you dearly," instructed the evil Queen.

"Certainly, my Queen." responded Endymion mechanically.

Queen Beryl arose from her thrown and walked to the kneeling Prince. "Arise my little Prince and let your Queen bless you."

Endymion gave a small roll of the eyes and stood proudly before her. Her eyes smiled with the chance at being so close to him and she lightly kissed his sculptured cheek. He held back a grimace and fought back nausea as he lightly kissed her pale, clammy hand.

"Go, my little Prince."

"As you wish, my Queen." With that said, Endymion left the throne room in a dark wind.

As Endymion reappeared, sunlight filled his vision and sounds and smells assaulted his senses. A calming scent of roses crossed and played with his nose, the sounds of children's laughter and birds singing tickled his ears. As he put on some dark sunglasses to get used to the bright light, he noticed he was in a rose garden that contained every color of rose imaginable.

A smile crossed his normally serious features. He couldn't wait till the Earth was his.

After buying an apartment in one of Tokyo's finer districts he decided to go explore and plan his first attack on the planet.

Dressed in the tuxedo, in which he left the Dark Kingdom in, he walked around enjoying the sights that Tokyo had to offer. Although, he had to admit, the humans were exasperating and gave off a distasteful scent, although it wasn't as bad as a youma's.

As he walked, he noticed he gathered a lot of female attention from his midnight hair, wide shoulders and built frame. Also his regal features that composed together to make his face helped as well. Sculpted cheeks, stormy blue eyes that were hidden by his sunglasses, dark midnight hair that gave him a dangerous look as it swept across his eyes, and kissable lips made him more than handsome, it was what made him beautiful.

He gave a small smirk and heard some girls swoon behind him. Endymion's ego was once again fully in place and making him an arrogant jerk.

As he was walking he glanced into shop windows and studied the different products that humans had to offer. It was the OSAP Jewelry store that caught his attention. Women flocked to this place to buy the precious jewels inside. It would be an excellent place for an attack.

Endymion called forth one of the easier youmas and informed her of her mission. After she obtain her orders, she quickly zapped the store owner dry of her energy and took her place. Endymion nodded his head in approval and went to shop for some necessities for his apartment.

After shopping and having the items he bought shipped to his apartment, he went to check on the youma's progress. It was amazing how much energy these petty humans were wasting on the colorful stones that had been cursed by the youma.

Endymion stood outside the store's window and took off his sunglasses to watch as the human females scrabbled to buy another jewel. He shook his head at the sad display and turned around to face the sun and replaced his sunglasses quickly - his sensitive eyes still hadn't grown accustomed to the sun yet.

As he stood in front of the store, he felt the energy leaving the pathetic women behind him and mentally congratulated the youma. If this was how it was going to be for all the attacks then he would be ruling in no time.

With that thought, he began to think of other useful attacks to gain more energy. So engrossed in his planning, he missed the paper ball that was flying directly toward his head.
