Yes, like I need to start another story, just like I need another course...'Sighs,' pity the idea won't let me rest. I guess this is my way of saying hi.
I DON'T OWN THE 2 SHOWS CONTAIN THEREIN.
Ever wonder what it would be like if you changed the course of the future? What happened to the world that was there before you changed it? Did it just vanish, or did it perhaps spilt off to form it's own branch in the time line? These questions never haunted the ones that changed it, or even the woman that watch it. It was to save a young girl child they all loved, the candy-eyed, candy-haired, Chibi-Usa.
Though remember the thirtieth century was a time of war with the Dark Moon. This is where the story actually begins, at least for the heroine of the story. The beginning isn't kind, but maybe through the course of time things will realign.
"Damn it!" The green suited senshi shouted as she dodged another strike from the monster that looked to be a cross between a snake and a leopard. Interestingly enough it was beating her at the physical prowess of the Senshi of Jupiter. Snapping her neck back to dodge the next strike, her thoughts carried over what had transpired. The first wave of monsters that had attacked the castle had nearly wiped them out as it was to pass. This second wave was dragging on their reserves. "If only..."She muttered. Suddenly, the beast was struck with a glowing chain of hearts. "Thanks Venus." The warrior tossed out as she flipped her chocolate ponytail out of her emerald eyes.
"No problem Jupiter." 'Venus,' called back, as her glowing chain resettled on her hips. If one had time, they would be amazed at the ability of the senshi's to keep her long, sunny blonde hair, free of dirt, grime, and getting cut in battle. Also added was that red bow, which still flaunted itself merrily, as if taunting the beasts. Her sky-blue eyes flashed fire as she pulled her hand for another attack. "We can't keep this up forever." Venus mused, striking another creature with her whip. "Get the hell off the grounds of Serenity's castle you freaks!" She yelled at them, her whip snapping in time with each move she made.
"Venus," a voice called, "I do not think they are going to negotiate." A calming voice floated over. A flash of blue was seen as several monsters turned to ice. The rest was flooded out in despair reducing the numbers by half.
"I know Mercury, but one can dream." Venus replied.
"Dreaming would be illogical at this point in time." Mercury responded, as her navy blue hair moved against her neck. "We may have to fall to plan Delta." Mercury warned.
"Damn it, we haven't lost yet!" Another fiery voice yelled. Raven hair snapped with the temper, as she fried another creature.
"I know Mars, but it's only a precaution." Mercury reiterated.
"It's screwed up that the outer's have to guard the planetary quadrants." Jupiter added her two cents while kicking a demon's head off.
"Yes, but they are holding off the Dark Moon's reinforcements." Mercury reminded.
"Yeah, and a lot of good that's done." Mars quipped while driving her heel through another demon's skull.
"Fall back!" Venus ordered. The other three senshi followed their leader's command as they stepped toward the castle. "Mercury, any word on the King's position?" Venus asked.
"Negative, last that was informed, he was almost to the Gates with Small Lady." Mercury answered.
"Why the hell does Pluto have to stay at the Gates during the War?" Jupiter bit out.
"It was the last order the Queen issued before Demando put her to sleep." Mercury told her. "Also, with her there, Small Lady will be able to return to the past and correct this, she is our only hope." Mercury said.
"No!" Mars yelled, as she aligned her amethyst gaze with Mercury's icy blue one. "I will never give up on Usagi, she'll awaken, you'll see." Mars defended her best friend.
"Until then Mars, we have to defend our future." Venus cut in. "Now, high tail it back to the castle, I'm calling the activation of plan Delta." She ordered, and then summoned her largest attack to give the senshi some space. "On the count of three." Venus informed them. Counting silently, she kissed her fingertips to gather energy. "3, Rolling Heart Vibration." She whispered, and the orange-yellow heart tore through the defenses surrounding them.
"My turn." Mars quipped, and drew her arm back in a bow position. "Have a taste of my Mars Flame Sniper!" She yelled, and the red arrow pierced a line clear through to the castle walls. Venus leapt forward to join Mars who winked at the next inner. "Your turn Jupiter." She snipped with a smile.
"Right, Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Jupiter called, and the oak leaves that cackled with electricity broaden their breathing room. "Now to get to Mercury." Jupiter reminded the two. Venus and Mars nodded to the assessment, and turned to see Mercury readying her attack.
"Last chance for you to retreat." Mercury tried to convince the monsters.
"Hey Merc, less talking, more attacking." Jupiter cajoled.
"All right, Mercury Aqua Rhapsody." She gently summoned. The ice harp appeared in her fingers bringing tidal waves of water and ice over the monsters. "Clear." Mercury stated.
"Right, let's move." Venus commanded.
"Hey V, on your six." Mars called out, while pulling her bow of fire back. The arrow dead-bolted in the middle of the monster's skull. Venus had to let out an admirable whistle of appreciation for the shot.
"Nice, but right back at you." Venus said, and her chain of hearts was already flying through her fingers. Almost bewitchingly it wrapped around the creature's throat before beheading them. "Now, let's move it!" Venus yelled. Mercury nodded her assessment, and Mars followed, but Jupiter whirled on her heel.
"Time to give you a going away present." She merely cackled while her fingers practically crackled with lightening. "Guardian Jupiter, bring storm clouds, bolts of lightening, wind and fire!" She screamed, and the heavens above nearly split with the energy that tore apart the clouds.
The quartet ran into the gates only to see King Endymion drag himself in. Wearily he rested his lips against his communicator to report to Mercury. "No need Endymion-sama, we are here." Venus stated. The lavender colored King nodded, while limping into the castle. Mercury worried, rushed ahead only to find the King collapsed against the multi-facet crystal that held the sleeping Queen. The rest of the senshi followed after, and gave the royal pair a moment of silence.
"She made it safely, like I promised." He spoke in a whisper. "We need you desperately to awaken, again we need you to save us, save me..." King Endymion told her. Venus walked up and placed a caring hand on his shoulder. The other hand, she rested on the crystal with a hardened smile on her face.
"Serenity has never let us down before, nor will she ever, but for now we must do our job and protect her." Venus concluded. "We have agreed to plan Delta, you work on breaking that crystal." She instructed calmly. The King nodded, and the senshi walked to the middle of the crystal castle. "Right, I have the North Point." Venus stated, and stood on her symbol.
"I, the South Point." Mercury followed stepping on her symbol as well.
"The East Point is mine." Mars said, and stood upon her symbol of status.
"From the West Point I stand." Jupiter concluded.
"We the Inner Princess, hereby surrender ourselves to our planets in order to protect the peace." They stated together. "Hear Us, Obey Us, Empower Us." They chanted, and fell into a trance like state.
"North, Venus Power." Venus cried and her planetary symbol alighted as her soul power poured through.
"South, Mercury Power." Mercury called, her symbol glowed as her heart dazzled with her power.
"East, Mars Power." Mars chanted, her symbol blazed and her aura burned alive with her power.
"West, Jupiter Power!" Jupiter shouted, her symbol burst alive, blending into her power.
The four senshi stood shoulder to shoulder, their colors glowing brightly. An invisible shield surrounded the castle, shredding the enemies that were to close as it spread. None, but the pure souls can pass through, but the Inners's would not be able to keep it for long. Five years at the most could they hold it without rest, hopefully the King could free the Neo-Queen before then.
White hair with blue tints brushed lightly against the pale forehead. An ivory glove covered hand reached up and pushed the bangs away from the cold eyes revealing a mark. The mark of the Dark Moon was etched upon the brow, the crescent black moon pointed downward. Revealing to the world exactly what the soul color was of this individual. Prince Demando sighed, a weary grin on his face as he watched the images. He could care less that the little Neo princess had gone back in time. She after all was not what he desired, and screw what his advisor Wiseman wanted. His eyes trailed back to the sleeping Neo-Queen, the woman he would possess to be his bride. Yet, he would have to wait, as the senshi's shield surrounded the Crystal Palace. Not that it mattered, it would give him time to put his plan into action.
First, he would allow the little Neo Princess to succeed against his past self, which was only an image, and against Wiseman. Did the fool really think he knew not who he was? The bloody Death Phantom, he had no doubt that the Neo-Queen's past self would be able to defeat him. When the little princess returned he would have control of the future, and then he would capture her. His eyes turned to what his past mirror was up to, and they widened when they saw what the princess turned into. However, 'Black Lady,' was boring, and did not possess the will or the purity of her mother.
Yet, when she returned, he too would brainwash her, but not to turn against her parents, just her father. His generals interrupted then, informing him they had control of everywhere, but the main castle of Crystal Tokyo. "Very well, now go, disperse the eight large shards of the Dark Crystal into the planets's cores." He ordered. 'Now, for the second step, to drain those meddlesome senshi of their powers.' He murmured in his thoughts. This of course would take time, but he was willing to wait for Serenity. "It's too bad they just won't surrender." He muttered out loud. "After all, Sapphire fancies one, and Rubius fancies another." Demando remarked. "Ah, but then again the senshi are loyal to the Queen, and when she is mine, they will be loyal to me." He waved his comment away and turned back to his favorite past time, Queen watching.
A month and a day passed before Demando found the satisfaction of his second step working. He could see the four colored lights dimming and fading away. Before long, he would possess the power of all the senshi. The outer senshi had been captured earlier on a recon mission, and drained of their powers. Yes, they were stronger, but they had also been blinded by estranged tactics. Never the less, he only needed the Pluto Guardian's power, but she would be the last.
Then what should appear, but the dainty little princess who was all smiles. Realizing what she expected to see, he allowed a major illusion to spread over. Said little princess ran directly to her illusionary smiling parents, and right into his trap. First, however, he needed Pluto's powers. While keeping the pink princess in the illusion, he made his way to the Gates, he had been here once before.
"You won't get away with this." Was his greeting as he appeared.
"Yes I will, and you'll help me," He countered, "You can't save your Queen." Demando commented. "Since you know what's going to happen, why don't we make this easy?" He offered.
"No, I will change this course." Pluto stated strongly.
"I think not." Demando said as he snapped his fingers. Wisps of energy flew into his fingers, as Pluto began to struggle.
"What is happening?" She bit out.
"Well, since you won't be around, I'll tell you." Demando informed her. "Awhile ago, I traveled through your precious gates while you were dead from the whole Pharaoh Ninety fiasco, and place a shard of the Dark Crystal in your planet." Demando stated. "Since you never check the past, I knew you would never know." He added. "Anyways, it's been draining the planet dry for awhile now, I just activated the surge to me, your power is the last." Demando commented, and Pluto fell to her knees. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of the Queen." He cackled.
Demando reappeared in the Thirtieth Century with a whistle. Walking straight up to the trance pink haired princess, he picked her up and walked away. One hand gripping the dark crystal that pulse in anger with the senshi's powers. Elsewhere King Endymion fell to his knees in sorrow.
"My Earth, My Queen, My Love, We have failed." He said. "Demando controls all, and now has our daughter." Endymion told the crystal.
"You know, the Queen hears and sees, in her dreams she answers." A wise voice informed him. Endymion whirled to face the priest of Elysion. "The Queen, and your daughter would not want you to give up hope." He continued.
"Helios, what can I possibly do?" He pleaded.
"Anything, but for now, rescue your daughter." Helios instructed, and then faded from the moon. "I'm sorry, but I cannot stay on this plane of existence for long." His voice carried even after his body disappeared.
"Yes, but can I even do that?" Endymion questioned to the empty air. "I'm so lost without you, My Love." Endymion whispered while leaning against the crystal prison of his wife. "You are so much stronger then I am." He stated.
Right, well this is an Inu/SM cross, staring who else, but Usagi, however the senshi are going to play major roles. Warning the next chapter is slightly more mature with darker themes. Yes, it will be a Sesshomaru/Usagi romance, again slow going. NO SESSHOMARU IS NOT RELATED...that remark will make sense later. See you later WCB. P.S. Please review.
