Summary: The Moon Kingdom ended…. In war… In pain… yet it was some how different… something was changed.

Notes: This is a fanfiction I wrote at the start of the year when I first began toying with the idea that maybe Jupiter didn't belong as an inner scout. (for a more detailed explanation read the end of Oh' the Wicked Winds. I could copy and paste it but …It's the bold writing for curious readers ….) You had brains, spirituality and energy… what did that leave Makoto with: 'the faithful scout.' Not a flattering title…. It also toys with several ideas that seem a little weird but you judge it. It's my longest oneshot – at 28 PAGES! But I put it in Chapter Format because it was too exhausting like that… It's in 6 Parts. Which probally says if I want it long I need not to use Microsoft Word where I can see how many pages I've written instead of what I write.

'Till the end.' -

Part One

"We're under attack! We're under attack!" The delegates from planet Mau yelled skidding loudly through the corridor. Her Majesty Queen Serenity rose from her throne and indicated for the court to part.

"Luna, Artemis, what is the meaning of this?" She said speaking quietly asking the two cats.

"The Dark Kingdom, from Earth are attacking us." They proclaimed loudly sending a shiver through the court.

"Mother is this true?" Serenity turned to see her daughter Serenity II looking at her with wide eyes, Serenity let her eyes wander to see her daughters' hand clutching a dark handsome man. Prince Endymion of Earth, she presumed.

"Yes, I suppose so Serenity." She said her eyes fearful. The girls blue eyes widened and Queen Serenity looked her loving with teal eyes. Serenity's blond hair versed her mother's white hair and the princess burst into tears.

"Aphrodite, Hermes, Ares!" She called out and the senshi clad in the primary colours heads shot up.

"Your Majesty..." They whispered in unisaon.

"Take Serenity away, protect her." The three nodded and led Serenity away. Prince Endymion stayed and Queen Serenity indicated him to stand with six cloaked figures.

"Now, we have been given a warning, we must make do with it." The court nodded and rushed away to prepare the war procedures and Queen Serenity turned to look at the now seven figures who moved forward.

"Senshi, I would like to introduce you to Prince Endymion of Earth. He is the crowned heir, unfortunately darkness has fallen over his family and it was caused by one of his court." The senshi nodded in acknowledgement.

"He represents Earth in this battle." Again another nod and Serenity smiled.

"Endymion I would like to introduce you to the sailor senshi."

"But didn't they just leave?" Endymion's dark eyes looked at her questioning and Serenity

Smiled.

"No, Mercury, Mars and Venus or Hermes, Aphrodite and Ares, are my daughter's protectors. They protect the heart of the kingdom and usually are referred to as the Inner senshi. Those three planets you'll also find influence much of the personality of those born on specific signs." Endymion again nodded in accent.

"They represent Water, Fire and Metal in your 'Chinese' culture." Again Endymion nodded.

"My next group of senshi is Pluto, Neptune and Uranus." This time Endymion smiled.

"Hades, Poseidon and Coleus." Serenity smiled.

"You know them?"

"It's just a continued theme. Similar to our 'Greek culture'." Serenity nodded.

"Except because of the sheer size of Pluto most plutians live on Saturn, a less inhabited planet and therefore my Plutian senshi is Chronus." Endymion blinked.

"In the Greek legend it says that Chronus lived in the deepest pits of Tartarus, under Hades." Serenity's eyes rose.

"I'll stop, we have too many legends." Serenity nodded and Endymion blushed.

"Chronus, Poseidon and Coleus are known as the Outer Senshi, they guard the system from outside intruders." Endymion nodded again as the three senshi removed their hoods. Before him stood three of the tallest women he'd seen, their size probably was beneficial in the outer regions of the galaxy. Each woman's fuku was of dark colours - something else that was beneficial to them. Pluto was of dark grey, almost black, in fact at first it had looked black but it was only a shade lighter for true black was the colour of the band that crossed her chest. Neptune's fuku was of dark teal, suited for the subterranean and Uranus's fuku was of dark blue.

Each woman's bows were that of the primary colours; dark red for Pluto, dark blue for Neptune and a contrasting bright yellow for Uranus. Pluto's skin obviously darkened from the exposure of the heat source that Plutians had come up with and her dark green hair and dark brown eyes, her hair was thick and half of it was under control in a bun but most of it had been left out. Pluto was wearing black knee boots with a flat heel and a white rim at the top.

Uranus's gold-blond hair had been cut boyishly short so it wouldn't get in the way and a jewelled scabbard similar to Aphrodite's hung at her waist encompassing a sword. Her bluish-green eyes looked at him mockingly and he noticed that she had a tanned skin - obviously from Uranus's heat source and to his surprise the tomboy senshi was wearing dark blue high heeled fashion boots.

Neptune's light teal hair was wavy with several layers of curls and reached to the mid section of her back, her blue eyes looked at him trusting and Endymion smiled. Her hair was out but he supposed that was so it would aid her oceanic attacks. Unlike her companions she wore dark teal ballet-like shoes which probably were easier to wear on her planet.

Endymion slowly nodded to show that he had finished his scrutiny of the scouts and they raised their eyebrows and Serenity laughed.

"Not to worry you three. I would like you to work with the 1st division of my army, I have a special job with Endymion and I promised myself that with nine 'senshi' it would be easier just to go with three groups of three. Serenity is being protected by a third of the force and I want a third with the army, Endymion will join the others." All three senshi nodded and ran off to the armoury to meet the 1st division. Serenity smiled sweetly and turned to look at Endymion.

"Endymion, I would like to introduce you to the most dangerous senshi." He blinked.

"Jupiter and Saturn." He whispered. And she nodded gravely.

"You didn't try to guess their names." She said smiling coyly.

"I would've said Chronus and Zeus but I don't think that's right." She nodded.

"It's not. A long time ago they left behind their identities. They hold the remaining two elements of the Chinese mythology; wood and earth, but are not inner senshi for they also have mastery over weather, justice, death, resurrection, harvest..." She faltered in her sentence and Endymion looked at her.

"I don't exactly know all that they have mastery of." She said embarrassed and Endymion sighed.

"Which as well as the fact that their planets belong to the outer system the Chinese mythology keeps them out of it so they are..."

"The middle senshi. (Yes… LAME…. Deal with it…)" One of the remaining warriors whispered and Serenity nodded.

"The Middle senshi don't fight usually, they pick up pieces." The two women, he supposed, nodded.

"I would tell them to come back later but I fear that there won't be a later." Endymion blinked and took a step back.

"What?" He looked at her fearfully.

"You heard, portents have said for years that the silver millennia will end, just like the golden one did before us. It will lead the way for a new stone age, bronze age and whatever ages there are amongst your people." Endymion sighed.

"Earth and the planets will start again." Serenity looked at him tearfully.

"No child. Only Earth. The planets have nothing more to offer." His head jerked up and a different voice then before spoke.

"Like every field when a crop has been plentiful for years it must also have time to lie sallow otherwise it will become infertile. If the other planets keep going they will become infertile matters. That is why we are not running and coming back to pick up the pieces. This is the end. We will help in the battle as much as we can but a great loss will happen and we will help to sew the seeds anew." Endymion looked at the cloaked figure in amazement.

"You can't just give up!" He yelled but the other woman spoke.

"We are not giving up Endymion. We will fight until the Dark Kingdom is destroyed. That is our plan - we intend to fight. We are just looking at what ifs." Endymion blinked and the woman removed her hood revealing a beautiful woman. Her reddish-brown hair was wavy but not like Neptune and was out reaching past her stomach but not past her hips. Her dark green eyes held many depths and the smile on her face although reassuring wasn't quite. She wore a Grecian toga an emerald green in colour. She curtsied revealing dark green ballet shoes. She obviously wasn't transformed. On her wrists were two green bands.

"I have been known as Juno, Hera, Zeus, and Jupiter..." She trailed off for a second before her head shot up again. "I visit your people a lot; they call me Seth." She glowered.

"That's only because that was the name they thought of when they saw your millennia ago, bad legends just formed around you brother." Jupiter or Seth glowered at her partner.

"They mistook us for boys because we were a lot taller then them. It was millennia ago and our bodies go through remission." Endymion raised an eyebrow.

"Remission?"

"Yeah! We age per century but when we hit the grey haired stage our bodies return to our nine year old selves and it begins again. Very annoying especially when it's not in time." Seth laughed again.

"Oh come now, just because I look sixteen and you look ten is nothing be annoyed about." The laughter was still eminent in her voice.

"It is annoying that you are a foot taller." Seth blinked.

"Not a foot..."

"Really?" The cloaked 'Saturn' removed her hood revelling the girl who indeed a foot or shorter than her friend. She had black hair that was dangerously straight and reached the same length as her partner and dark eyes that seemed to be either blue or purple - he couldn't tell and her pale skin was testimony to the lack of a heat source on Saturn. Her dark gown was the same colour as her eyes, and was in the same style of Seth. She also had the same shoes and wrist band.

"Like my friend here I have been known as many things." She said speaking and Endymion recognised her soft spoken voice from somewhere...

"Persephone, Hades, Chronus, Saturn but in Egypt I somehow became known as Osirus." Seth snorted.

"But Seth killed Osirus." Osirus blinked at Seth who shrugged.

"Legends can be false." She said uncommitedly.

"But each has a grain of truth!" Endymion pushed.

"Okay, the Egyptian people offered her the throne and we're not supposed to interfere." Endymion looked at her evenly.

"I hit her over the head with a brick." Endymion blinked.

"And she forgave you?" Seth laughed and was about to continue when Serenity cut them off.

"Not now, we've wasted enough time. Middle's the 2nd Division should be waiting for you. Endymion will be your third counterpart." All three nodded serious and both women raised their hands in the air.

"Saturn Planet Power, make-up!" "Jupiter Planet Power, make-up!" Instantly the two women were transformed.

Jupiter's fuku was the same colour as her dress and she had a sugar pink bow and her forest green boots only ran halfway to her knee, her red hair was suddenly shorter, probably reaching just beneath her shoulder blades and was encased inside a ponytail. Saturn's hair was now dangerously cropped above her shoulders and her skirt was the same colour as her dress and her bows at first seemed to be black but when she moved the looked a dark red colour. Endymion blinked and assumed it to be a trick of the light. Each senshi now held a weapon; a scythe-like glaive held by Saturn and a sceptre incrusted with a lighting bolt by Jupiter.

"Ready?" The warriors smirked and Endymion nodded as they ran off to the 2nd division of the army.

Queen Serenity watched them leave with sorrow inside her eyes.

"Don't worry Majesty, they'll be okay. Everything will be okay." She whirled to see the last scout smiling at her sweetly.

"Are you sure Sol? I mean what if-" The senshi raised a browned eyebrow.

"Okay, I'll relax. Did you take the necessary precautions?"

"Yes. Of course." Serenity nodded.

"And the others?"

"The other Sun soldiers are bracing the other divisions of the army."

"Good." Serenity sighed.

"I'd hate for my Serenity to be hurt." Sol smiled and Serenity nodded and then a thought occurred to her.

"Sol? What happens if we are attacked from the inside?" Sol raised her brown eyes in shock. Thumbling she pulled her thick brown hair into a ponytail and turned to run down the corridor but a scream cut her off.

"Shit. How the hell did we have traitors?" She said as she watched a white clad body fall.
