Okay people! Here it is my lovely update! This is my first try at a complete and utter curb-stomp that involves magic. Now guess who's getting trained by this method. See if you can guess who's training her. Or is the training just a side benefit of torture by curb-stomp? so many questions. And I'll leave you with more! (Random lightning fries an innocent bunny medium rare.) Okay on with my lovely story!

"I outrank you in two systems. I overpower you. I have better control of my magic. I have a larger army. We outnumber you. We have better strategies. Any one of my fully trained soldiers can defeat you. Start recruiting Moon-chan if you want to have any chance of defeating me."- Saotome Kasumi in Matron Mode while delivering yet another Quadrant class curb stomping to Sailor Moon.

Usagi was Dreaming. It was a Realistic dream like the ones with Queen Serenity. This Dream too started out nice, but unlike her dreams about her mother this was not a nice dream.

It started out with her having tea with a ponytailed lady whose face she couldn't see, no matter how hard she tried. The only things that showed on the face were gray eyes and a mouth.

The figure, realizing her intent, patted her hand, "Don't bother, Moon-chan. If I let you see who I am then this would be pointless." Seeing Usagi's quizzical expression the lady smiled beatifically, "I am here to happily tell you about my threat to Crystal Tokyo and force you into a state where you have to train your magic instead of relying on those silly little power-ups and transformation phrases. I mean, really; they're a nice multiplier to your natural magic abilities, but it's only that. An enhancement of your abilities," The figure pointed out taking a sip of her tea. "Neither I, my husband, your strategist, or your outers have that weakness. It's only you and the rest of your soldiers. Hmm," the figure said pursing her lips, "Considering the number I suppose their more like an honor guard, really."

"Well, I was of the opinion that they were to be all I needed." Usagi watched as the Lady tittered "Is something funny?"

"Yes, of course it is. How, exactly, do you expect to take over my planet with a force so…insignificant when compared to mine. Did you honestly think your marital alliance with my brother entitled you? While I am happy that you two fell in love, I am the one the planet chose for its Senshi not him. Therefore I have the right to rule, not you. As such I cannot let you create such a utopia because it means the rest of the world would be a dystopia. I won't allow that to happen to my planet," The lady said taking a sip of her tea. "Of course I have the means to crush any opposition you could mount. But I'll be fair. Consider this dream a Challenge letter; from the daughter of your Teacher from the Silver Millennium."

Usagi nodded then had a quizzical expression. "Why would you tell me all of this? My warriors and I have crushed such opposition before. We can do it again." Usagi said confidently. "I must let it happen, even though it's horrible, I have to ensure that my little Usagi exists. Even if I have to abandon a few principles, I cannot let my Usa's existence end. I love her far too much for that." Usagi said solemnly and drained her tea. As she poured herself another cup she said, "I'll be her mother…even," she paused and continued quietly, "even if I have to turn into a monster. Crystal Tokyo is the ends to horrible means and me trying to save as many people as I can."

"Spoken like a true mother and tender heart, Moon-chan. If you do manage to defeat me, it sounds like you'll be a great ruler. But you won't. You see, Setsuna-oneechan forgot to mention one thing. A number of them actually," The Lady said refilling her own cup.

"And those would be?"

The lady ticked off her fingers, "One; I'm the mother of your Saturn and forbid her to enter a conflict where she's in opposition with her parents or her friends, so she'll be sitting this one out, I'm afraid. Two; there's the balance between good and evil, and right now it's leaning rather worryingly towards good. My mother, Lady of the Tao, has tasked me with correcting that. Three; your Pluto, my big sister, cannot see us in her Time Gates, due to my hobby and who my husband is, so I'm a little surprise to her. It will be pleasant while we are working together to dispense with corruptions and infections but always remember, I will be your enemy, if not now, when our business dealing with my enemies wraps up, certainly then." She said. "Four a single member of my army is more powerful than you and most your army currently are because they train and don't stop training when there's no threat although Angelia could give me a run for my money. That's a problem for you, Moon-chan. I suggest you order your soldiers to train their magic outside of their Senshi forms. Five; this is rather important, using the Silver Millennium, ranking system; I outrank you even if I was part of a different branch of the military. For you see Terra and Satelia had a military alliance before the notion of a political alliance was conceived. Six; you are limited to your designation, we are not. We have multiple –mancy, as well as being taught how to utilize our innate skills efficiently. You just picked it up as you go, and those skills will turn against you against more skilled opponents such as us. Seven; and this is the important part, I have Serviere (A/n: Pronounce Sa-rēp-ür)-sama's approval of my machinations. You do not. This makes all the difference."

"Who is this Sa-ri-per-sama," Usagi asked sounding out the name, "and why do they matter?"

The Lady frowned and her eyes radiated anger and indignation. Seeming to realize something she visibly calmed herself. "Oh, you didn't know. The time for your ignorance has come to an end. You see Magic is regulated by a council. Our division is called Casters I'll have a Ranking System sent to you later on tomorrow via my husband. I'll stick to the basics for now, Caster's are obviously at the top, then mages, then, channellers then majin, then magi and so on. Anyway Serviere-sama is our noble, just, and balanced ruler, we answer directly to them, but they usually leave us to our own devices. But not when it comes to taking over the world you, if you are in their jurisdiction, have to have a permit. We are and I do have a permit, you didn't know the rules so you were excused. But you know now."

"So I now need a permit." Usagi said.

"Right!" the Lady exclaimed with a smile and started putting up the tea set. When she finished she turned to Usagi. "Right, I'll give you four more words before I start forcing you to realize your potential; I warn you this will hurt all the more if you don't prepare yourself properly." The lady said releasing a small amount of her power.

The power that was released washed over Usagi in waves. Usagi chose her words wisely. "Moon Eternal Make Up!"

After a transformation scene, she stood ready to face her foe.

"My, what a scandalous transformation scene for someone inclined to white magic. Good choice of words. However," The Lady looked to the mirrors surrounding them, "you are in my territory." With that said the mirrors lit up and fired on Usagi's position.

Usagi jumped out of the way just in time. Only to find herself punched towards the ground. She pulled herself up before she hit the ground only to have to dodge to the side. A hot beam of light seared its way past her. She suddenly found herself on the receiving end of a vicious uppercut. Her flight was abruptly altered by a roundhouse kick to the stomach. She was then launched forward by a sharp kick to her back. She abruptly recovered and shot up and was grazed by a beam of light shot from a compact.

The Lady calmly floated in her civilian form. "Your hand to hand combat is deplorable. Tsk." The lady was suddenly in her face. "Tsk. Such disgrace and you call yourself a noble," She said as she grasped Eternal Sailor Moon by her shoulders and bodily slammed her to the ground before she had time to recover. An array appeared under Usagi. "Well, now that you are on the ground, let us see what your armor can handle before it's forced to improve itself and the artillery of its master."

Usagi tried to move but was rooted to the spot. She watched in horror as mirrors of all kinds appeared in a web-like pattern. With a clank she saw that there was a mirrored roof covering the entire thing. She saw the image of The Lady appear in all the mirrors around her. The Lady surprised her by singing as the array disappeared.

"This is my personal funhouse." Usagi blasted a mirror to her right "In here you'll never see me frown." Usagi threw her tiara at another mirror. "It's gonna burn you down." Usagi caught her tiara and launched it at another one. "Down." Usagi jumped as a laser from a convex mirror whizzed past her to a concave mirror. She watched in horror as the mirrors bounced around all the mirrors of the ceilinged web. "Down." A conical chandelier appeared on the ceiling. "Down." The voice took a menacing quality as she finished the verse and the lasers all converged in the chandelier and said chandelier pointed at her" It's gonna burn you down!" Usagi screamed in agony as the lasers hit her from every angle instead of just the chandelier like she expected. "Oh my, did you think I was bouncing the hard light around just to launch it from a singular point?" The Lady's voice asked from everywhere, "How utterly foolish," the voice said condescendingly. "Oh my, how wonderful your armor and wings are still intact. It's more resilient than I thought." An image of The Lady appeared in the mirror facing Usagi with a genuinely pleased smile. "It is a good thing we have 13 shots left. Let's hope you evolve before you hit the lucky number, I'd hate to have to recharge. Oh!" The smile turned sadistic. "Then again it will be fun to see if I can break you. It's a win-win for me~!" The Lady said as she smiled in excitement as the mirror and chandelier lit up again and Usagi's world exploded in pain.

4 shot's later The Lady's image reappeared and asked, "Have you evolved yet?"

Usagi, crawling to her feet, responded softly, "Rainbow starlight honeymoon kiss."

"Oh! You can still stand! How admirable!" The lady said in appreciation. She then realized that Usagi had answered. "What was that dear?" The Lady asked leaning forward in anticipation, but not out of the mirror.

" Rainbow Starlight Honeymoon Kiss!" Usagi exclaimed spinning around releasing a blast of pure mana that destroyed the inner and middle parts of the web. She looked around and despaired that she wasn't completely out yet. "I'll just do it again!"

"Ara ara, Moon-chan," The Lady's voice said. "I wonder if you'll manage that now that the buffers are gone. But don't worry. With this level of injury I'm sure you'll evolve before shot number 20!" The Lady said excitedly.

"Why are you doing this?" Usagi asked "Why are you putting me through this torture!"

"I'd be lying if I didn't say I wasn't paying you back for all the paperwork you and your soldiers have caused me over the years since, technically, I am your commanding officer, I have to clean up your messes. Do you realize what the cost of your property damage cost me? Every time you're not careful with your monster battles my next three paychecks are garnished." The Lady admitted. "But this is also the best way to improve you. I don't want you to have no chance against my enemies, after all. So it's a win-win!" The Lady's voice was pleased. Then the voice got serious "No more talk until you evolve. I'd much rather be making wild passionate love to my beloved husband. But these are orders from mama. And Orders are Orders." The remaining mirrors lit up and Usagi experienced a whole new world of agony.

After the third shot without the buffers Usagi was once again on her knees.

After the fourth shot she was barely conscious.

And on the fifth her body and magic reacted. Light shone from Usagi and the size of her wings grew her silver hair was shot through with blue highlights and her hair was wavy like Ikuko's. Her silver wraparound dress came down to her knees. Her gloves were skin tight and had slits on the outside from the bottom to the middle. Her hands were wrapped around the hard light web from the center. She gave a mighty heave and swung it around and obliterated the remaining mirrors in the web. The hard light weapon resolved into a parasol which, with no words, she pointed up and spun again, this time destroying the room.

She heard clapping. Turning, she saw The Lady smiling and clapping at her surveying her surroundings she saw that they were on a black sanded beach. She spotted a volcano in the distance.

"Very good, Moon-chan. Now that you've evolved I can awaken your potential. Suddenly the shards of the destroyed mirror gathered around The Lady. The shards of the mirrors reformed into sand that flowed into what looked like a water skin.

Suddenly Usagi was gripped by the sand.

"Shame on you Moon-chan. You should have taken to the skies as soon as you realized that you were standing on a beach. I am the earth's Senshi and Queen. Well, one of the Queens anyway. As such, I control all aspects of Earth." Suddenly lava was on the surface and creeping steadily towards Usagi. "Lava maiden." The Lady said filing her nails. The lava was around her and Usagi cried out in pain as the molten earth started to melt her skin. "Igneous-"

Whatever she was going to say was cut off by Usagi shouting. "Serenity mana potential," Phosphorescent mana enveloped her form. "Wake up!" The light pulsed violently outwards dispesing the lave and healing her in the process.

This time there was a pulse of light changing her as it flowed along her body changing her dress to white with silver trim, the gloves disappearing, and the wings receding to nubs. The ripple flowed through to her brain, and removing the odango and tiara leaving only a silver moon tattoo on her forehead. The parasol now closed and resting on her shoulder she glared at The Lady.

"Finally!" The Lady enthused. "It's time to end this and go make sweet enthusiastic love to my husband! I'll end this session quickly instead of dragging it out. One good transformation deserves another," The Lady informed her toking out a small badge carved in the likeness of earth with the image being overlaid by a Tao symbol. "Shadow," the black part of the Tao took over the majority of the badge, "Matron, power. Make up!"

Usagi watched in despair as the transformation seen took place.

The Lady spun around and did a backflip and landed in a cheongsam decorated with snakes on the front, a picture of the Egyptian cow goddess on the back and bracelets depict symbols of earth. Satisfied with her transformation she looked at Usagi, who was on her knees in the sand.

"Oh well." She said slightly disappointed that her lesson hadn't taken as she lifted her hand "Sand sarcophagus." The sand surrounded Usagi completely. "Cement wake." The sand turned into something thicker and wetter and exposed her face and Usagi felt creaking in her bones. The Matron tittered as she walked up to Usagi. "I'll give you a hint as to who I am, dear. Saotome Ranma doesn't lose. And neither does his wife!" With that said The Lady slowly curled her fingers into a fist while making a downward motion with her arm. The cement around Usagi turned to stone. "Concrete funeral!" Matron exclaimed as her hand clenched into a fist and-

Usagi woke up screaming. She lay there panting for a while and turned to the clock to find it was only 1:00 a.m. She groaned and went to the bathroom.

"I'm done! Mission complete!" Kasumi exclaimed from her vanity. She got up and went to bed.

Her exclamation waking him up Ranma said, eloquently, "Huh, whuzzat?"

Noting the tent in his pajamas Kasumi beamed at him and proceeded to jump his bones.

In the morning Usagi surprised her friends with her new hair style letting the waves frame her face and the rest of her hair being pulled in a single large braid. They were not surprised at the change in hair color. They were surprised by the blue however.

"Usagi-chan? What's with the blue hair?" Minako asked.

"Oh, this?" Usagi said patting her hair. "This is a happened because of a new transformation a nightmare forced me into." Usagi replied casually. "Apparently, Earth's Senshi takes offense to Crystal Tokyo. But she needs our help with her enemies so…"

"She helped you power up?" Makoto asked

Ami snorted, "Knowing Terrabelle she probably used her Funhouse Laser Web to force your magic to respond since we really shouldn't have to transform to use magic. I have, fortunately, solved that problem." Ami looked at Usagi's pale face. "But I'm guessing that it was the Funhouse that forced you to a new transformation. Then she probably opened up your civilian Mana reserves."

Usagi nodded and shivered. "It was horrible! And the worst part was she only transformed towards the end. But I know she didn't have to." Seeming to realize something she spun around on Ami. "How do you about the Funhouse, Ami? Speak Senshi!"

Coming to attention "I helped her develop it in the Silver Millennium, my queen," Ami replied crisply.

"Why?"

"Ano…for interrogation and training, my queen," Mercury replied shyly.

"Do you know who she is now?" Usagi asked calmly.

"Yes, my queen, she's married to my cousin," Ami replied, "who also happens to be Tenebrae's Senshi."

"Who are is your cousin?" Usagi asked walking around Ami.

"Saotome Ranma, my queen."

"That hunk that was sitting next to you in class yesterday was your cousin?" Both Makoto and Minako asked.

Giving them a sidelong glance, "Down girls, he's married, remember?"

"Tell me who she is," Usagi calmly ordered Ami.

"For the safety of my goddaughter, I must refuse your order, my queen." Ami replied.

"Who is your goddaughter in danger from? Certainly not from us," Usagi rebuffed her refusal.

"She has a snake tail for legs and when Terrabelle found her she had a broken arm and her tail was singed. She's in danger from all magical girls." Everyone winced at that statement.

"How did Earth's Senshi lose her daughter?"

"I am unaware. All inquiries on the subject lead to tears and repetition of the words 'Oh kami! I lost her and didn't find her for three years. I'm a bad mother!' or some variation thereof, followed by more sobbing and eventual comfort by her husband. From what I can gather magical girls must have been hunting little Hestia for her appearance soon after she hatched or on her first trip to the surface. It was quite an ordeal for a three year old child to have gone through before she found was found by her mother." Ami reported her analysis.

"Acknowledged, Senshi. Have you given the real names of the mother or the child to us?" Usagi asked.

"No, my queen"

"Good, we'll have to figure this out ourselves." Usagi said. "At ease, Ami-chan," Usagi said waving her hand.

"Hai!" Ami said relaxing. Looking at her watch Ami's eye's bulged. "Oh, no! I promised to babysit Hestia today while her parents go out of town. I'm almost late!" Ami exclaimed looking around for something, appearing not to find it she sighed and performed a running jump. Landing with modified ice blades on the soles of her shoes she proceeded to spark off as easily as if she were skating on ice instead of a side walk.

" D-did Ami just pull an Usagi?" Rei asked.

Patting Rei's arm Minako said, "No Rei-chan. That? That was a Minako."

Giggling they all headed to the Outers' house.

"Well that was interesting," Pluto said from on top of a building.

A hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her ear painfully. "Yes it was, Sweetie. But you have to be disciplined." Balancia said

"M-mama?" Setsuna asked tearing up.

"Yes, dear heart," Balancia said coming 'round to face Setsuna

"I've missed you Mama," Setsuna cried.

Releasing her grip Balancia hugged and comforted her eldest daughter, "Shush, it's okay, sweetie. Mama's here now."

"I've been so lost, Mama. Now I'm in too deep to get out without hurting everyone," Setsuna sobbed. "I need help, Mama."

"And help you shall have. But first you do need to be punished. But since you do realize the error of your ways perhaps not as harshly," Balancia said softly as she stroked Setsuna's hair.

"Yes, Mama," Setsuna responded quietly.

With that they simply disappeared from the roof.

Panting heavily Ami knocked on the apartment door.

Kasumi opened the door dressed in a green sleeveless wrap around dress and smiled at Ami, her eyes sparkling with amusement, "Ami-chan. You're early. Come in."

Huffing as she entered the apartment Ami replied, "I might have been late if I didn't Spark here. I was on the other side of town." Ami replied. "My queen interrogated me about you. Did you have to use the Funhouse Laser Web?"

Kasumi beamed at her friend, "No, I could have induced the transformation directly, and awakened her mana core as well. I am a Caster and she was a Mage; as such at the time I had authority over her. But it would have taken longer. Besides it was fun and I needed to vent. Why not target my future enemy and would-be Queen of Crystal Tokyo? I made it abundantly clear to her that she was horribly outmatched if it came to a leader to leader battle."

"You're a monster, Kasumi-chan," Ami deadpanned.

"Why, thank you. I take pride in my Monster status," Kasumi beamed at her. "Now there's money on the refrigerator for dinner; I've already cooked breakfast and lunch. Sonia-chan is still shy, let her warm up to you at her own pace. I know she'll be charmed by you two. Oh! I mean the three of you."

"Huh?"

"Don't worry Ami-chan you'll understand soon enough." Ranma said walking out of their bedroom dressed in a crisp silver suit.

With that they walked into the kitchen.

Chibi-Usa recalled her mother's words as she walked down the street to her grandmother's place.

-(Flash—back? Forward? I know! Recollection!)-

Chibi-Usa and Neo-queen Serenity were standing in front of the time gates. Neo-Queen Serenity explained why they were there.

"Usagi, it seems like this timeline is going to be erased soon." Neo-queen Serenity held up her hand to forestall her daughter's question. "I'm sending you back to my past self. She's changed and so has the situation. Thus this is your last travel to the past," Neo-queen Serenity said with tears streaming down her face as she smiled valiantly. "You won't be able to come back anymore. T-the timeline you came from will most likely be erased as soon as I send you." Neo-Queen Serenity dabbed at her eyes fittily with a handkerchief "Be good a good daughter for Usagi, okay?"

"Yes, mama," Chibi-usa replied tearing up.

"Here take this," Neo-Serenity said passing her a hyper space container and taking off her broach to hand it to Chibi-Usa."

Taking both objects, Chibi-Usa nodded silently.

"And no more brainwashing to get your way. Understand?" Neo-Serenity said.

"Yes, okaa-sama," Little Usagi replied.

"It's time to go through the gates dear."

"Hai," Little Usagi walked stoically through the gates.

-(Recollection end)-

Chibi-Usa stopped in front of the Tsukino Residence and knocked.
