Wings of Serenity: The rewrite
Extra chapter 1: With these wings of mine

Gone were the days of bronze, and in its wake were the days of silver. From the moment she was crowned Queen Serenity brought in a new millennium - an age of peace and harmony. The alliance between the other planetary Kingdoms had grown stronger, a sight that hadn't been seen since the days of the Gods and Goddess, and the friendship between Serenity and the rest of the Princess - or rather Queens - had grown stronger as well. However, just because they had entered an age of peace it still doesn't mean that there wasn't evil in the world and the Queens were still required to do there duty. In order to protect their world and their homes they still had to transform and fight. Serenity included.

Speaking about the Moon Queen she had just finished another meeting with the Moon Soldiers and Madam Anastasia, Since the disappearance of her sister Serenity had put all of her resources into finding Iris. Sapphira told her not to worry and that the Ice Princess was on some kind of special mission. (Sapphira and Chika had agreed that it was best to create the illusions of their friends whilst telling Serenity that Iris was on her own special mission. It was a lie, of course, but they couldn't tell her that her sister was helping her future niece in restoring her powers) Serenity believed her, however, she couldn't help but wonder if her cousin was hiding something. She couldn't deny Iris's power - it was as equal, if not more, then hers - but she knew that Iris wouldn't do anything without her Senshi (Well, maybe she took Sailor Tempest with her. She was the brains of her group) However, that was two years ago and Serenity already had enough on her plate with tensions rising between the Moon Kingdom and Earth.

It was her Mother who placed the Moon-Earth forbidden rule. She didn't want to do it, but after learning what happen to her eldest daughter and the actual identity of the Moon sage well, she had no choice but to enforce that rule. From what Serenity remembered, and from what she read, there was peace between the nine plants - well, near perfect. There had been a few monsters, the time when darkness tried to take over the world, the first incarnation of Chaos. They had all been dealt with and the peace returned, All the past Queens gad helped each other, through the good and bad times, even the past Earth Queens helped them. Why even Zahar had helped Iris when they fought Queen Amalthea whilst she and her fellow Princesses helped Princess Amaryllis during her time of need. The two groups never met.

"Your majesty... Queen Serenity"

Queen Serenity was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of a femmine voice. serenity turned around and saw Luna standing before her. She had changed slightly over the past two years. She was no longer a kitten, she had grown into a mature cat, yet she wasn't in her cat form. Luna had came to Serenity from the planet Mau (just like Felicia, Artemis, Haru and Keiko - the latter of the two were Acantha and Serendipity's cat guardians) and she has the ability to change her form into that of a human. She had curly black hair with heart shaped buns , her eye colour was still the same, an elegant yellow gown that has a black underskirt, flat shoes in black and a crescent Moon necklace. Around her neck was a yellow bow.

The Queen smiled at the young women "Yes, Luna. Is there a problem"

"No, my Queen, everything is alright. I came to tell you Queen Amphitrite, Queen Nuraya, Queen Hera and Queen Aphrodite are waiting for you in the palace gardens" Luna informed her.

"Thank you, Luna. I will be there shortly. I need to change out of this outfit first" Serenity said.

"Very well, My Queen. I will let them know where you are." Luna replied before she bowed to her.

Serenity watched the young lady leave the corridor before leaving herself. It was unusual for the Queens to come to the Moon Kingdom to talk to Serenity. They did it whenever they weren't needed for their royal duties, and having a functional teleporter made the trips much shorter and quicker then using the ships. After making it back to her chambers without any interruptions she made her way over to her wardrobe and pulled out a casual yet regal dress. It was a lavender gown with a floral pattern all over the dress, white ruffles on the top of the dress and a bow similar to the one on her Queen gown. She decided to wear the arm length gloves with a gold ribbon on them and flat shoes. She decided to not wear a cape. After quickly changing behind a screen she carefully placed her other dress on the manqué and took a moment to marvel at the gown. Her Mother had commissioned the dress for her, it was hers and her father's gift for her. It was a white dress with a piece of fabric that look like a bandage at the top of the dress in lavender and a lavender bow with crescent moon on it on top of the fabric. Under the bow was two sets of lavender pearls. She also arm length gloves with silver bracelets and white shoulders pads which were attached to a white cape. She kept her necklace on (a reminder of her Mother and her Sister), the winged clips which were attached to her buns and her crown (which was gold with a heart shaped middle and had lavender pearls)

Serenity left her chambers and made her way down to the gardens. When she arrived she saw her friends and fellow Queens waiting for her under the stone gazebo. They, like Serenity, had changed over the past two years. Amphitrite and Hera's hair was longer, Nuraya's hair was waver and Aphrodite's hair was long as well but it flowed down to the bottom of her dress. This wasn't the first time this happened. Previous Queens of Venus also had long hair, though some of them found ways to keep it short.

However, the Queens were wearing their regal dresses. Amphitrite was wearing a teal dress that faded into blue at the bottom of the gown with a royal blue overcoat that looked like a toga and two sets of aquamarine gemstones between the teal gown and the toga. She also had blue shoulder pads that were connected to a cape, mermaid scale gloves in teal with blue bracelets on them, a lapis lazuli pearled necklace with a seashell on it and a small teal bow behind the necklace. She also had on a teal pendent necklace with a blue outline. Her shoes were blue flats.

Nuraya's outfit was a lot different compared to the others - she wasn't wearing a dress, previous Queens of Mars were known for being warrior Queens so they never wore dresses. Instead Nuraya's outfit consists of a red tunic and trousers (a shade darker), a red military jacket with a gold outline, purple boots and a cape. She also had purple gloves with gold bracelets on them and around her neck was a gold necklace made up of rubies and ambers that was connected to a red circular pendent with a gold outline. Nuraya was the only Queen who was standing up, the others were sitting around the table.

Next was Queen Hera's outfit. She was wearing a green dress that faded into brown and behind the dress was a long bows (they were behind Hera's hips and went down to the bottom of the gown. On her hips were red roses. Above the roses were two sets of agate brown gemstones). She also had green shoulder pads which were attached to a green cape, whit gloves with green bracelets on them, a brown laurel wreath choker around her neck with pendent necklace, in green with a gold outline, made up of emeralds and citrines. She still had her amazon head crown on and rose earrings.

Finally, there was Queen Aphrodite's outfit which looked like a ballgown. She was wearing a yellow dress with a transparent orange fabric over it. There were roses at the top of the fabric and above that was two sets of morganites. At the top of dress was a pink bow with a red heart shaped button on it. She also had long white gloves with gold bracelets on them, pink shoulder pads which were attached to a pink cape (at the top of the shoulder pads were yellow bows). Around her neck was morganite pearled necklace and a pink circular pendent necklace made up of morganites and ambers.

It was Amphitrite who noticed her first.

"There you are. We thought you weren't coming" She said.

"Sorry about that. I was in another meeting with the soldiers and Madam Anastasia and I wanted to get changed before I came here" Serenity replied.

"They still haven't found Iris then?" The Queen of Mercury questioned.

"No, they haven't, and I'm starting to think she doesn't want to be found" Serenity said with a hint of fear.

It wasn't the first time she thought like this. The question entered her head many times over the course of two years. Did Iris not want to be found? She loved her family so she had no reason to runaway from home. The life of a princess was never easy, what with Princess training, meeting with diplomats from across the cosmos and visiting the other kingdoms. Iris was a Sailor soldier so she did have training with her team mates every so often. It was understandable if Iris wanted a break from the stress but... this didn't make any sense. Why would she runaway? She believed Iris's friends when they told her she was on a special mission but she was starting to think it was a lie. There had been no reports, no messages from her telling them that she was okay, no insight to what this mission was. She had asked Queen Mercia for some help but the Queen of Pluto couldn't answer her. There were some limits with regards to looking into the future - Serenity knew that.

Sensing her friends emotional pain Hera placed her left hand on Serenity's. When the lavender haired Queen turned towards her friend the Queen of Jupiter offered her friend a friendly smile and some reassuring words of comfort.

"Don't worry, Serenity. Iris will come home when she's ready. She loves her family and friends very much and wouldn't have left for no reason" Hera told her "You have to remember she takes her duty very serious and she won't stop until she completed it"

"Thank you, Tsubaki. I just wish she would come home already" Serenity said whist drying her eyes. She hadn't relised she was crying.

"She will, just give her time" Hera assured her.

"Hate to ruin the moment but we didn't come here for small talk" Nuraya said "There is something we need to talk about"

"Nothing bad, right?" Serenity questioned "I already have enough on my plate with possible conflict from Earth as it is"

"Well, we have been monitoring the Sun for a while now and we have noticed some abnormal activity coming from there" The Queen of Mars informed her

Queen Amphitrite, who had already brought out the Mercury super computer (it was a miniature computer in blue with the mercury symbol on the front that can flip open. Inside were a collection of buttons on the bottom half of the computer and a large screen on the top half, the mercury was on the lower left side), was already going through the data she had collected.

"I've been analysing the data none stop but I keep coming to the same conclusion. As of right now the entity is stable but energy will soon awaken and there is a possibility that it will hit Earth" Amphitrite explained "There is a possibility that we can stop it but I am unable to find any weakness at the moment"

"Is there anyway we can prevented the energy from spreading?" Aphrodite inquired.

"With our current powers and the Silver crystal? No, but we can slow the process down" The Queen of Mercury answered her.

Amphitrite closed the computer as Nuraya took her place at the table. She had her purple eyes fixed on Aphrodite with a serious expression on her face.

"That means more senshi training and less time looking for love or messing with other people's love lives, Aiko" Nuraya exasperated.

"And what that suppose to mean?" The red head questioned as she crossed her arms.

"Well, you do have a habit of interfering with other people love lifes and setting people up on dates" Hera recalled "Like the time when you tried to get Sora to go on a date with Lord Dashiell from Oberon? Or how about the time when you interrupted mine and Kaiya's date?"

There was no denying it. Aiko did have a habit of interfering with other people's life's, as did previous Queens of Venus (except for two - Her Mother Queen Rosa who created her through magic and Arabella who choose fighting over love) In fact the women she was named after - the Goddess Aphrodite - was far worse for it. She had an affair with Ares - the first ruler of Mars and God of War.

"Okay, okay I have my problems - everybody does, but I am not my Grandmother. I take my duties as a Sailor Solider very seriously. I am the leader of the inner Senshi and I was made to be Serenity's double for a reason" Aphrodite ranted "And if i ever have a daughter I'll make sure she follows her duty and fights to the best of her abilities and then some more"

"That will be the day. May Selene have mercy on her soul" Nuraya muttered.

"Ladies please we have more important matters to deal with. If we keep fighting and arguing with each other we won't be able to deal with the immediate threat" Serenity complained "Plus, your giving me headache"

Embarrassment and flustered faces were seen on Nuraya, Hera and Aphrodite faces. They were meant to be Queens and mature ladies, not teenagers who liked to gossip and bicker with each other. They quickly apologized to each other and to Serenity before allowing the peace to come back to the area.

"That's better. Now Prince Remus of Estoelia will be visiting the Moon Kingdom tomorrow. I will discuss the matter with him" Serenity said "I recommended extensive training in your Senshi form and hopefully we can access our next power ups"

"Should we inform the outer Queens as well? It couldn't hurt to have backup if this entity spreads across the galaxy" Amphitrite questioned.

"We should inform them of the situation but, as of right now, we should be fine without them" Serenity answered "If the problem gets worse then we should ask them to fight with us"

The rest of their time together was spent catching up with each other, telling each other what they have been doing on their home planets. This was the only time when Serenity felt relaxed, despite everything that was happening with her Sister, tensions rising on Earth and a possible threat coming from the Sun. It was times like these that she was glad these girls were her friends.

-

The next morning came far too quickly and Serenity, who was already dressed in her Queen outfit, was waiting for Prince Remus in the throne room. She couldn't help but be nervous. Visitors from the Sun Kingdoms weren't all that common and she had no idea what to make of the Prince. She had heard rumours of previous Kings being feared by their people, of the being warlords who wanted nothing but conflict and were known for fighting with the other planets. Not all of them were like that, the Moon goddess Selene had married the first ruler of the Sun and they turned out fine. That was before the original Sun Kingdom split off into different territories. So when Luna finally arrived with the Solarian Prince she couldn't help but examine him. Serenity couldn't deny it, she did find him handsome but his appearance had been something she was expecting. He had blonde hair, fair skin tone and blue eyes and was wearing a gold suit with a white formal shirt underneath and black shoes. Solarians were known for having tanned or dark skin tones, their eyes would either be gold, bronze or copper and would always wear loose clothing (their home world was the hottest after all)

"Your majesty, may I introduce Prince Remus form Estoelia" Luna said.

The Prince bowed down to the Queen before talking " Queen Serenity it is an honour to finally meet you. I must say I have heard rumours of your beauty and grace but none of them compared to the radiant young women I see before me"

Serenity couldn't help but blush at that comment. She managed to quickly compose herself before talking "Thank you, your highness. I must admit I was expecting... something else when you arrived"

"Let me guess a warlord suited up in his armour?" Remus guessed. Seeing the look in her purple eyes - confirming his guess - he added with "You needn't worry. I am not like the rest of people. I came here you help you, not to overthrow and kill you"

"So the rumours are true..." Serenity muttered.

"They are my Queen. I won't lie, the wars have been terrible and the same mistakes keep happening. Everybody is trying to claim each other for their own" Remus said "I'm grateful that Estoelia is located at the outer reaches of the Sun where nobody can get us"

Satisfied with the Prince's answers Serenity had invited him into the parlour room. Luna went with them, she wasn't needed but she had a sudden urge to protect her Queen even though the Prince told them he wasn't a threat. The parlour room was only used for when Serenity was visited by her parents and aunt. It had blue wallpaper with a floral pattern on it and white carpet. There was a fireplace, a chandelier, oak bookcase, a small table with a flower pot on it and a mirror placed on the wall. Where the windows were, which showed the same lake Serenity and Iris sat by on the morning of the coronation, there were silk curtains which were pulled back. In the middle of room were two chairs and a table, on top of it was a silk white cloth, a tea pot with two cups besides it and a few cakes and biscuits. Remus allowed Serenity to take her seat first before he took his. Luna poured the tea for them.

"So, Prince Remus, you know why I have called you here today, don't you?" Serenity asked.

"The abnormal activity on the Sun, right? Me and my people have been monitoring it too. It located at the centre point of the Sun where the Solaris Nexus used to be" Remus said.

Solaris Nexus? Isn't that where the original Sun Kingdom was located"

"Yes, it was. You see before the split we used to be a part of one Kingdom - the Solaris Nexus. There was only one King at the time but he had malicious intent and craved absolute power. He tried to invade the other planets but he was unsuccessful" Remus explained "The people were able to overthrow him. As he had no children the lords of Nexus tried to figure out who should be the next ruler, but they were unsuccessful and it lead to conflict"

"How terrible" Serenity remarked "Do you think this conflict is related to the abnormal activity?"

"That is one of my theories, my Queen. The conflict has happening for a number of years now so there is a possibility that they are connected. It could be an after effect of all the violence" The blonde told her "However, and if Queen Amphitrite's report is true, then this activity could be something much more bigger then some simple conflict"

"What do you mean?" The lavender haired girl questioned.

She waited as the Sun Prince was taking a quick sip of his drink, guessing that he needed a moment to gather his thoughts before continuing.

"What I am suggesting is that this abnormal activity is related to Chaos" Remus revealed "And, if we don't stop it, the Moon Kingdom, Solaris and Earth will have no chance against it"

The colour from Serenity's face completely disappeared upon hearing Remus's words. It wasn't just Earth that would be effected - her own Kingdom would too as well as the Prince's. She remembered Amphitrite's words from yesterday: that the entity will soon awaken (they didn't know how much time they had until that happened) and that they couldn't stop it, they could only slow it down. Serenity hadn't realised it but she was shaking - the though of loosing everything was too much for her. It was times like these that made her want her Sister or her Mother - someone to be there for emotional support - but neither of them were here. She felt somebody touch her hand. Looking up she saw Prince Remus's blue eyes which showed kindness but also concern. He gave her a sympathetic smile, somewhat knowing what she was thinking.

"You needn't worry, my Queen. We will find a way to stop this" He told her "I will stay here and help you and your fellow Queens with this problem"

"But... what about your kingdom? Yours is in as much danger as mine is" Serenity murmured.

"I will leave my most trustworthy advisors in charge whilst I am here. I can't leave you here like this, Serenity"
