Alright, before you read this chapter you might want to read this so you will better understand this chapter. I am writing about the silver millennium yes but I have changed a few things. For one I have changed some of the sailor scouts genders. I did so because I believe that they might have been different. I know that the in the manga they are all girls and PRINCESS at that, but I wanted to change things up a bit So sue me if you don't like it, all I have is half a sprite and one holey sock. you are welcome to enjoy. Um…anyway. Ami's name in the SM is Atreus, Minako's name is Melpomene, Rei's name is Rhea Silvia. Makoto's name is Medea. Hotaru's name is Hespera. Michiru's name is Minerva. Haruka's name is Horatius. Setsuna's name is Sisyphus. I chose them for either two reasons. First of all, they are all Roman or Greek names; I chose those names because Sailor Moon is kinda loosely based off of Roman and Greek mythology. OKAY then. If you have any questions about this after you read this chapter and you still have questions you can review or email me and I will try to answer them as best as I can.

TENKUU: CHAPTER 8

SILVER MILLENNIUM

Looking out into the night sky, Princess Serenity smiled softly and leaned her head against her palm. 'I wonder what is out there.' Yes, she did know of the planets and what type of people inhabited each planet, but that was from her teachers and books. What she wanted to do was actually seeing these planets, to visit the people and learn about there past and cultures. 'There is only so much you can learn from books and people who have never been to these planets either.' Serenity knew everything that there was to know about the solar system that her mother ruled over, it had been forced upon her since she was little. Now that she had finally learned everything that there was to know about the nine planets, she had become bored and took a liking to other things…like war.

War was something that had yet to happen to the Moon or any planet really since the Silver Millennium had became a reality. The solar peace was her mothers dreamed of since she took the throne. After the birth of Princess Serenity, her mothers dream was realized and there was peace.

The only type of war going on was the soldier games. Each year, the royal family from every planet would meet on the Moon where they would bring their best fighter. More than not it was either the top guard to the family or one of the family members themselves. Each planet had their own elemental powers, which either helped them advance or destroyed them. For example, Lightning against Water, well Lightning would win easily but Lightning and Fire would be evenly matched.

Mercurians prided wisdom, they figured that strength would not always get the job done; they would always choose the one who possessed the most knowledge and had to have basic combat skills. They chose the prince of Mercury, Atreus; he was highly skilled in the history of war and finding the weak points in any fighter.

Venusians had powers of love and lust. They could make people of the opposite sex fall in love with them. The only problem with that was how to use that to their advantage against someone of the same sex in the game. There was one woman who was a direct descendent of Aphrodite. Her name was Melpomene, she was one of the few who could

Earth would never choose anyone of their royal family, they favored their family and didn't think that they should have to prove their worth and power to the rest of the system. Instead, they founded a search for the strongest warriors in the universe. They would travel to distant planets and galaxies. The warriors that they found they bribed and took them back to earth and used them as bodyguards to fight in the yearly games.

Mars chose their warrior easily. They were a planet whose spiritual powers were beyond any other planet. Their knowledge on how to harness fire to tell the future was amazing. They chose their high priestess, a woman who had highly developed combat and spiritual powers. The High Priestess, Rhea Silvia.

Jupiter prided themselves on their strength and power and they had very strong connection with the Storm elements. They would hold a competition on their planet four months before the games to choose the strongest and most powerful. And every year it is the same warrior, the cousin of the royal family, Medea. She was over 200 years old, which was rather young for being a prized warrior. But her ability to use the elements was amazing as well as her strength.

Saturn's people looked weak and fragile, but they held amazing powers within themselves. Pale skin and silver-white hair and light blue eyes were normal and symbolized that they were semi-powerful in the arts of darkness and shadow. But few were born with dark black, almost purple hair and deep amethyst eyes. Saturn's people would never fight in hand to hand combat. It was either two below them or they didn't find it logical. They chose their warrior, who came from a very ancient and powerful family. But they did not have any royal connection at all, due to the fact that the royal family was more then happy to use them in the games. They chose, who they thought, was the most powerful. Hespera was over 700 years old, but she looked like a mere child. Her abilities went beyond anything anyone who inhabited Saturn.

The people, who inhabited the planet Neptune, did not like to fight. They never got involved in the war or really approved in the games. But Queen Serenity talked them in to joining…and a great bribe didn't hurt either. Neptune's people loved the arts; they adored music, dance, painting, sculpting, and many other fantastic things. One of the greatest sculptures was Minerva. She was the princess of Neptune and betrothed to Horatius, the prince of Uranus. She harnessed the powers of water to help her create beautiful masterpieces. Since she has amazing control over her powers, they all naturally assumed that she would be perfect for their warrior.

Uranus' people had amazing speed, strength and agility. They were matched only by the people of Jupiter. They were also full of themselves, and believed that they were the best. So when it came time to choose a warrior, they also had to put on a tournament to see who the best was. Horatius, the prince-and soon to be king-once he married the princess of Neptune, was the only one who stood up to every challenge and won. He had amazing strength and the Wind element seemed to obey his every command.

None of the other planets wanted Pluto to join the games, mainly because some of its people could see into the future and learn their opponent's weaknesses before they even fought. That was why the people of Pluto chose Sisyphus. She was an amazing woman who was taught by Coronus himself. Sisyphus had the ability to travel threw time; she was also an advisor to Queen Serenity.

The opening ceremony for the games took nine weeks. Each Royal family did not want to arrive at the same time as the other. So the Queen came up with a wonderful idea. Each family would arrive one week apart. There would be a celebration throughout the week for the royal family that arrived. That planets main dishes, traditional music and games would be played. And on the tenth week there would be a masquerade ball to commemorate the tournament.

Princess Serenity only went to these celebrations because she was forced to. She would rather be training for the up-coming event. Queen Serenity knew that her daughter wanted to be chosen this year to be the warrior for the moon, but she didn't think that her daughter could win…or for that matter hold her own. But she never told her daughter that. The princess stayed as long as it was necessary, but then she left right away. The Mercurian Royal Family always seemed to have giant sticks up their butt. The Venusian's seemed too…well too different for her. Staying only till dinner was over, she left immediately. The Earthlings, Princess Serenity was always interested in, because they brought a different race every time. Last time, they brought a very tiny creature, but it had amazing speed and a power to absorb any energy waves. This time however it was something of a different sort.

"They say he is Saiyajin."

"I heard that they had to bribe him with a bride, but he didn't take it. He said that he wanted someone who was as powerful as he was."

"Is that why he is here, to find a bride?"

"That's what I think."

Princess Serenity was very curious after hearing that. A Saiyajin…she had heard of that race, but they seemed to be very violent and deadly. They had amazing powers, beyond what anyone in her solar system had. This was someone she definitely wanted to meet. Running as fast as a princess could, Serenity quickly joined her mother at the end of the long carpet. There she stood, rather impatiently as she waited for the Royal family and their warrior to join them.

The people of earth aged differently that any of the inhabitants of any other planet. They seemed to age about 7 times faster; they also didn't have the powers that the other planets inhabitants had either. They had knowledge, and some strength. But they never learned to harness the Earth or Metal elements of their land. True they did have Water and Fire and all the others but they didn't seem interested in learning how. So every time they held the games, there would either be a new King and Queen or they would have aged dramatically. (One year to the other planets is seven to earth)

Serenity smiled happily as her mother formally greeted the King, Queen and their son, all the while Serenity was staring at the man who stood behind them. He was taller then herself, by a fair bit, with gravity defying hair that was so black that it seemed blue, his eyes resembled the stone 'Jet' and they seemed to hold some horrible past inside them. She was so entranced by his eyes, that she did not hear her mother calling, or noticed the fact that her mother, and the royal family had even moved, leaving her and the warrior standing alone in the middle of the crowd. Blushing, Serenity quickly ran towards her mother, apologizing for her rudeness.

Later that evening, after everyone was asleep, Serenity got changed into her training uniform and snuck out. Running past the flower garden and into the trees, Serenity laughed because she could finally relax and be herself. After passing threw the forest, Serenity stopped at a clearing that had a crystal clear lake in the center of it. Smiling, she began to run around the lake, 15 times forwards and 15 times backwards, to make sure all the muscles were warmed up. Shortly after her warm up, Serenity began her training, using the power of her crystal-it had ½ the strength and power of her mothers crystal, it was created by the Silver Crystal to protect the princess until her body guards or the Queen arrived-Serenity always thought that a princess should know how to protect herself; that thinking was the only reason why her mother allowed her training to begin in the first place. Queen Serenity asked her personal guard to train her daughter, he was older that Queen Serenity herself, and was captain of her mothers guard. Dioscuri was trained in the art of war, weapons, hand to hand combat and had an ability to teach people too use and control their powers, though he had very little of his own.

Dioscuri would not show up to help her train for another hour, so Serenity had to do it on her own, sometimes she preferred it that way. She loved Dioscuri, everything about him, but sometimes you need to be on your own, to learn what you could really do. Putting her hands in front of her, Serenity willed the crystal to come alive, focusing only on that, she willed herself to rise up over top of the lake. The crystal, surrounded her in a silver circle and began to float, slowly she got higher, then moved over top of the crystalline lake. Opening her eyes, but not taking her focus off the crystal, Serenity then willed it to stay exactly where it was, as she took her hands away from the crystal. Then while still focusing on the gem, she began her training, her hand to hand combat moves were great-when she only focused on them-but what if there were other things that needed her focus as well. Would she be as good? As she moved, her usually swift movements were jerky, as all of her concentration was on the crystal.

"You will never win if you are this clumsy." Serenity's half closed eyes snapped open in shock, her concentration was shot. Screaming as she fell into the lake, she came up sputtering and swearing. Swimming to the edge of the lake, Serenity climbed out of the lake and lay on the soft, grassy ground. Once caught her breath, Serenity slowly stood up and glared at the man who stood before her. The smirk on his face was unbelievable, he was laughing at her, after he insulted her, and he had the nerve to laugh at her. Growling, Serenity, bent her knees and raised her now fisted hands, shaking his head the man did the same thing. Their fight lasted longer than he expected, she was good. Not good enough to beat him, but still very good.

"How long have you been training?" leaning against a tree, Serenity looked up at him, "About 5 years now, it would have been longer but my mother wouldn't let me."

"What were you doing up there?" he looked over to the middle of the lake.

"I was trying to see if I could focus on to things at the same time, my crystal takes up a lot of my energy and focus so I just wanted to improve on that." Her eyes widened in shock. "My crystal!" running towards the lake, Serenity jumped in, and began searching for the gem. Her mind was calling to it trying to make it light up so that she could find it. Noticing a small flicker of light, she quickly swam towards it, stretching her hand out, she grabbed it quickly before swimming frantically towards the surface, due to lack of oxygen. Once she was again on the edge of the lake, trying to catch her breath. This time, instead of laughing at her, he picked her up and carried her over to the tree that she was occupying only a few minutes ago. After relaxing she looked up to see that he had started a fire to warm her up.

"Thank you." She whispered so quietly, Serenity swore that he would never hear her.

"You should be more careful next time. Your welcome." Tilting her head, Serenity looked at him, "How did you hear me?"

"Saiyajin ears are very sensitive, I can hear almost anything."

"What is your name?"

"Beo" Smiling, Serenity looked up at him, "Beo…Hello, My name is Serenity." Taking her extended hand, he kissed gently.

The next four weeks past so quickly to Serenity; every night she would go out and train, not with Dioscuri, but with Beo. After that first night, Dioscuri appeared in Serenity's room and told her what he saw. He also said that he would not train her from this point on, nor would he tell her mother that he stopped. Serenity was disappointed, but she still couldn't help but wonder if Beo would actually show up that night. He did, and once he appeared they began to train each other. Beo teaching her how to fight, and Serenity, without her knowledge, was teaching him how to love. Once all the Planetary Rulers had arrived, Queen Serenity had a huge feast laid out and planned a masquerade ball. Everyone got dressed up, even the guards, and would dance until the early morning.

Serenity loved it because she could finally wear something other than her royal gowns in public. Using her crystal, she changed her golden hair to black, and had it shortened to the middle of her back, her eyes went from sapphire blue to emerald green, her skin which was as pale as the moon, was now a sun-kissed gold. The dress she wore was Chinese style, pitch black, with a golden dragon wrapped around it, a slit on either side that ended at her hips, trimmed all in gold, and her mask was ruby red with gold flecks in it.

Smiling at her new appearance, Serenity snuck out of her room and quietly traveled down the stairs towards the ball room. Stopping instantly, she realized something, she needed a name. Sure Serenity is a great name, but if anyone knew that she was the princess there might be…lets say a disagreement. Searching her mind, Serenity tried to find a name that was not related to the moon or any planet in the solar system. Nemain? Thinking about it for a few seconds she nodded.

"Yup, that seems perfect." She continued to head towards the ball room, when a hand reached out and grabbed her elbow.

"Going somewhere Princess?" Her eyes widened in shock, how could anyone see threw this, now she would have to do something drastic…like shave her head and look like a man. Turning around, her shocked face turned to one of anger.

"How dare you scare me like that Beo!" she whispered so that no one could hear her. "How did you know that it was me anyway?" Tilting his face up, he smirked, "You still smell like the pond." Beo chuckled as he caught her fist easily, "And even if you changed your appearance, you still have that nasty temper." Growling, she turned around and stormed into the ball room. A few people stopped to see if she was anyone important, shrugging her off, they all went back to there conversations or dance partners.
"This is not how a princess should be treated…Shall I announce you?" Beo whispered into her ear, growing red, Nemain turned around and punched him in the gut before heading into the crowd. Laughing softly, Beo followed her, he would not let her go with out dancing with her at least once. Stopping, Nemain turned around to see him still following her.

"What do you want Beo?" Bowing slightly, he held out her hand. "A dance princess. Just a dance." Her glare softened. "Alright," She whispered, as she took his hand, "Just one." They danced for one and a half hours straight, neither of them wanting to let go of the other, and neither talking, that was until.

"I thought that all Saiyajin's were brutes who didn't know anything about being civil." Beo chuckled, "It really depends on which one you meet. Some were raised well, while other weren't."

"Oh? And how did you turn out so good?"

"Practice and lots of beatings from my mother."

"WHAT?!" A few people around them glared at Nemain and her rather loud question. Blushing, but still wanting to know if he was joking or not she quickly took him out on to one of the many balconies.

"Princess, I thought you would never have it in you."

"What?" Beo pulled her close and softly kissed her lips, her eyes were wide with shock, Nemain never imagined that he would ever be so forward, or for that matter liked her at all.
"Beo…But, why?" Shaking his head at her innocence, he raised his hand and caressed her cheek, "Because I have chosen you."
"What?" she barely whispered.

"I have chosen you as my mate." Her eyes widened in shock, "Ma-Mate?" He nodded, not really paying attention to her reaction at all, "Yes mate, after I prove to you that I am the strongest warrior in your solar system, you shall be mine." Be his He was so forceful, and yet she seemed to be falling in love with his huge ego and forwardness.

"O-okay." She whispered just before he claimed her lips once more. The loud music stopped dead and all there was around them was silence, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I have an announcement to make. Not only is the prince of the earth also competing in the games, along with his bodyguard, but as his prize if he wins, he wants my daughter's hand in marriage." The entire room began to cheer and congratulate the soon to be couple. Her eyes were wide with shock, how could her mother do that to her. Tears began to spill down her face, she was so happy a few seconds ago, Beo wanted to marry her and take her away with him to his planet, but now she would have to stay on earth and get married to a git of a man. Leaning down, Beo whispered, "Don't worry, Princess. You will never be his." Looking up at his, she smiled softly, "Thank you Beo."

The tournament had begun, and the warriors were ready. After the opening ceremony, they were all paired up, and one by one began to fight. The clear sky darkened quickly, the fighters never noticed, nor did anyone else, except for Queen Serenity. A wind blew through-out the entire stadium, thunder and lightning appeared out of nowhere. Standing up, Queen Serenity began to yell. "Everyone run to the castle quickly, you will be safe in there. Warriors and Guardians, I ask for your help. There is an evil coming that I can not hold back on my own." Every fighter and guard stepped forward ready to face the enemy. Everyone that is except the prince of the Earth, he ran quickly into the castle to 'protect the Royals' as he put it. Standing next to her mother was Serenity, and next to her, Beo stood, slowly powering up and waiting for the onslaught of enemies that he felt were hidden in the clouds.

"Queen Serenity, give me your crystal and I will spare all the inhabitants."

"If I believed you then I would. But you Beryl are a liar. I shall never hand over the one thing that will protect my people." A cloud broke off and came down; it surrounded Serenity then returned to the main part again.

"Then I shall take the one thing that you care for the most. Your daughter shall now serve me."

"Serenity!" Her mother cried as she watched her daughter become swallowed up by the hands of Beryl.

"Princess!" Beo quickly jumped into the air and flew and light speed towards his love.

"Beo!" Serenity cried before her face was completely taken over with darkness.

Tenkuu's eyes opened to see him holding her, gazing into her eyes, "BEO!" she cried as she clung on to him. "Beo, you finally broke threw the darkness." She whispered before becoming unconscious.

OKAY! So it is the longest chapter that I have written for Tenkuu. The reason why is because I didnt want to do 2 chapters for the silver millennium flashback. I actually only wanted it to be 2-3 pages tops, but as I started writting it...well as you noticed it just kept going on. BUT I had to tell everyone who Vegeta really was before I continued. Okay so, Tenkuu or Usagi is blind in one eye because of the scar on her face actually damaged her eye. The other eye healed because...well you will find out why in just a little bit. TATA! ORION
