Prologue: How it all started.
At the Time Gates, Sailor Pluto frowned at the Time Streams.
"Mercury…" she muttered regrettably.
"She has been sent to the future." a voice answered.
"Godphoenix." the Time senshi replied.
"Why?" she asked.
"You should know why, Child of Time." the Godphoenix answered.
Sailor Pluto sighed, she knew the Godphoenix was right.
Unknown to the girls, there was another crystal in the Moon Kingdom.
The Cobalt Lotus was a sister crystal to the Ginzuishou. Following the ancient Chinese concept of yang and yin, the Cobalt Lotus kept the Ginzuishou's powers under control.
During the battle against Beryl, the Lotus vanished, enabling the Ginzuishou to unleash its full power. That, in turn, killed Queen Serenity.
Nobody knew where the Cobalt Lotus hid, except for two. Sailor Pluto and the Godphoenix. The Lotus had attached itself on the dead Mercury star and was sent to the future along with her.
After Chaos, Usagi learnt about what exactly happened to Queen Serenity back at the Silver Millennium through the Ginzuishou.
In a fit of anger, she turned against the Senshi of Mercury, accusing her of causing her mother's death. For it was the Mercury royalty who kept guardianship of the Cobalt Lotus.
Luna then passed the judgment that Mercury had failed in her duty and would be cast out of the Sailor Senshi.
"What happens now?" Sailor Pluto asked.
"In casting out Mercury, the Senshi have unknowingly destroyed the utopia called Crystal Tokyo." the Godphoenix answered.
"In five years time, all of them, excluding you, will be cast in magic crystal under the Ginzuishou's magic until the Cobalt Lotus is recovered." the fiery bird added.
"Until then Time Child. Farewell." it ended. With one flap of its wings, the Godphoenix disappeared.
SailorStar9: (Sighs) Another betrayal fic curtsey to me, but I had to get his out of my head.
