This story is a rewrite of an old story that I began a long time ago. I hope you guys enjoy it. Be sure to review, however remember this story has untraditional pairings and includes two or three new characters. This story goes along the idea of what would happen if the Sailors of the Sun existed, it is sent in the Sailor Moon R era during the attack of the Prince Diamond and the Wiseman. NOTE: This story will warp and change events existing in the Sailor Moon Universe (why it's called The Other Destiny) It's a what if story. If you can't let go of the idea that Darien and Serena have to be together, don't read. Feel free to review if you like, however it isn't necessary. I hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or any of those characters. They sadly belong to it's creator. However, any new characters are mine.
The Other Destiny
By Aglaranna
Chapter 1: The Sun Scout
In an abandoned lot, on the far side of Tokyo, a fierce battle was happening. Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars were battling their hardest against the enemies from the Negamoon. On the fence, the youngest of the Four Sisters, Catsie stood, laughing as her Yoma released blast after blast at the tired Sailor Scouts. The two Senshi had been caught off guard by her surprise attack and the battle was not going well for them. In the corner, a little girl with pink hair huddled watching the battle for her existence. Her red eyes wide, she clutched her large kitty head ball to her chest. She was frightened; she didn't want to go with the bad people from the Negamoon. If Sailor Moon lost this battle, there would be no way for her to save her mother. However the battle was not going well for Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars, though they outnumbered the Yoma, two to one. Ragged around the edges, Sailor Mars was coated in mud and dirt. Dried blood stained the side of her sailor uniform, and there were several small cuts and friction burns on her legs. Sailor Moon, on the other hand, was covered in dust. Though she stood firm in her intentions, her legs were quivering as they attempted to hold her up. Both Scouts were breathing heavily. Their energy had dipped beyond the edge of fatigue, as the Yoma released attack after attack of static electricity. Her pincher-like claws slashing in a blur of motion as she charged the two tired Scouts. "Sailor Moon look out!" Mars shouted her ebony hair flying as she jumped sideways to avoid an electric blast from Catsie's Yoma.
The pig-tailed leader screamed, falling backwards onto the dirt. The electric blast sailed over her head, singeing the two pigtailed buns "Mars! Why didn't you warn me sooner!" She yelled, her fingers digging into the dirt of the abandoned lot.
"Sorry! I can't be expected to look out for everything!" she yelled back angrily. "Try paying more attention meatball brain!"
Dropping off the fence, she picked the little pink haired girl up by her collar. "Your mine brat!" Catsie laughed.
The little girl struggled, yelling. "No! Let me go!" Her feet flailed wildly in the air, little fists punching the air. She looked like a hooked fish, wriggling on a line. "Let me go!"
"Rini" cried both Sailor Scouts.
The Yoma charged and hit them with a flurry of quck attacks. The two Scouts screamed, struggling to get up.. In the shadows, a figure stood watching them. 'I've got to help…but is this something I want to get involved in?' The figure asked herself, fingering the golden pendant at the base of her neck. 'I gave up on this. Remember?' She leaned against the wall, watching as the Yoma backhanded Sailor Mars across the jaw. She sighed. 'I can't sit by and do nothing.' She raised her arm and cried "Solar Crystal Power!" Red and yellow lights flashed around her. A warmth began to grow inside her body and spread all about her, revealing a traditional sleeveless Sailor Senshi uniform. The colors of her skirt and bows were a deep reddish purple, like the fading twilight. "Okay." She said, taking a deep breath. Then she leapt onto the chickenwire fence, above the battle. 'This is only a one time deal.' She thought to herself, gazing down on the Yoma. 'I'm not doing this again.' After a long pause, she yelled. "I call the forces of fire and heat come to my hands! Become the force to drive this creature back to the Negaverse! Phoenix Fiery Emission!" The ball of fire gathering in her hands flew towards the Yoma. As it approached it changed into a large flying bird of blinding white light. The bird's mouth opened wide and it engulfed the Yoma, turning it into a pillar of flame. As the fire disappeared, only a pile of ashes remained. She turned to Catsie, her icy blue eyes flashing. "Drop the girl." She said softly, snapping her fingers. "Or I'll do the same to you."
Laughing, Catsie said "Not a chance Sailor Brat!" She pointed a manicured finger towards the new Scout. "You're not the only one who plays with fire." An icy blue flame licked from her finger and shot towards the Sailor Scout. The Scout jumped straight up in the air, and the flame sailed by harmlessly beneath her.
Landing back on the top of the chickenwire fence, she sighed. "I thought we could do this the easy way, but…" The Scout shook her head, tucking her silvery hair back behind her ear. "It's your funeral." She lifted her hands towards the sky, between them fire and hot white light appeared growing into a massive flaming ball. She cried. "Solar Flare!" Again a fireball flew at Catsie, but she leapt out of the way just in time. When she looked back for the Scout, she had vanished. Then Catsie heard something behind her. "Solar Flare!" In an explosion of hot white light and fire, spears of light seared through her arm, forcing her to drop Rini. The little girl scrambled to her feet and ran to Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars.
Gripping her injured arm, Catsie snarled. "I'll get the Rabbit the next time!" Then she vanished.
The Silent Scout turned and walked away, and before Mars and Sailor Moon could question her she was gone. Leaving them with thoughts and mixed feelings about this new stranger.
"Sailor Moon, we should call a scout meeting right away!"
"Finally a good idea Mars, lets call them on the communicator." They ran off leaving Rini all alone.
'WOW,' she thought 'maybe this new scout can help me save my mama, but how do I find her?' Then she rushed home to Serena's house.
Out of the alley next to the construction site walked a seemingly short girl about the height of Sailor Moon. If the girl had worn pigtails she could have been Sailor Moon's twin, with the exception of her hair, which was short just above her shoulders, and it was a very pale blond almost white. Other than that their features were exactly the same, the same heart shaped face, high cheek bones, and crystal blue eyes. She glanced around to see if anyone was there and then set out purposely towards her apartment. Her head filled with thoughts as she glanced at the passing cars, a voice caught her by surprise, startling her out of her reverie.
"Serena, what are you doing here?"
She swung around to stare at this handsome dark haired stranger; her eyes held surprise and worry. She felt strange tingles running up her spine as she stared at this dark haired young man. "I'm sorry you must have mistaken me for someone else." She told him her own voice catching her by surprise.
He laughed. "Sorry, I thought you were a friend.
Sayuri tried to relax.
Smiling he answered, "I guess so, but that's the way Serena is, always hanging around when I'm busy."
"That sounds annoying." As soon as the words were out of her mouth she instantly regretted them. 'Who am I to tell him that his girlfriend sounds annoying? I don't even know him. I'm a terrible person.'
"Hey are you all right?"
"What? I'm fine. Sometimes, I get caught up in my own thoughts."
"I understand what you mean." Darien said.
"You must think me an awful ditz for not introducing myself! I'm Sayuri Tanaka." She said, extending a hand.
He took it, saying. "I'm Darien Shields. As an apology would you like to come and have some tea with me in my apartment?"
"I don't know," she glanced up at him and muttered, "If Serena won't mind I'd be glad to."
He laughed. "Well, she does get jealous. She thinks that when I spend time with other girls that I'm going to dump her."
'He's nervous.' She thought. Sayuri smiled, examining his face. Darien's eyes kept flickering back and forth. 'He feels guilty about me. He must still love her.' "In any case, I should probably get going." She stood. 'I don't want to make either or you uncomfortable.'
"Nah, I'd like some company and aren't you the young woman who just moved in across the hall? It would be nice if we became friends."
"Alright." She agreed hesitantly.
