Chapter 1: The Storm that Spanned Time

Date: April 28th, 2010; Tokyo, Japan; Usagi Residence

"Bunny! Wake up!" A young pink haired girl yells down the hall to her 'sister'. In truth they were mother and daughter. The pink haired one is called Rini. Her mother is Serenity Usagi or Bunny to her friends.

"Shut up Rini! It's Saturday! I'm sleeping in." Bunny yelled back.

'Baka.' Rini mumbles "We promised Rei we'd help her clean out the temple's storage room. We have to be there in 20 minutes."

Looking at her bedside clock groggily Bunny sees the time, 2:38pm. They had to be at Rei's at 3 on the dot. "Damn it! I'm up! I'm up!" Bunny yells as she scrambles out of bed and gets dressed.

5 Minutes Later

"Ok I'm ready. Let's go." Bunny says as she comes down the stairs and heads towards the door.

"It's about time." Rini complains as she follows close behind her. "We have 15 minutes we need to hurry."

"I know. I know. Sheesh."

At Rei's

"You're late guys." A blue haired girl says as she answers the door to Rae's house. The blue haired girl is Ami, one of Bunny's friends. The bookworm of their group.

"Yeah sorry. I kinda overslept." Bunny says stepping in to join Ami and Rae inside.

"That's fine. We haven't started yet anyways." Rae says as she finishes the tea she was making.

"We can have a quick snack then get to work on the storage room." Ami says as she brings out a tray of snacks...

In the storage room...

"Jeez what's with all the dust? When was the last time someone cleaned down here?" Rini asks sneezing from the centuries of dust build up.

"Don't know. Just found this storage room while cleaning the guest bedroom." Rei answers lifting a unique katana from behind some boxes. "It's been a while though. I mean seriously look at this blade." She says unsheathing the sword. It's about 7' long and the edge is as sharp as the day it was made. A wolf head adorns the butt end of the hilt and a single axe blade like guard links the blade and hilt. "I've only seen drawings of this sword. And it's the real deal. The crest on the blade here is the symbol of Serus." The crest seen is a wolf's head in front of a crescent moon with a rose and sword behind the moon. On one side is a star and the other bears a YinYang symbol.

"Serus? Never heard of someone by that name."

"Serus wasn't a person, it was a village located near the temple's current location." A new voice says.

"Rayne you made it." Rei says looking at the new arrival, her cousin Rayne Fox.

"Yeah I would have been here sooner but I ran into a storm front half way here. Pretty bad out there now." Rayne says as she steps further in to the storage room.

"Guess we're staying here for the night then."

"Yeah."

As they get back to work cleaning, the katana Rei located started to glow faintly as if responding to the storm outside. Reaching back through the very fabric of time the sword pulsates with its ancient master...

A time long forgotten...

In the village of Serus, the Lunar festival is in full swing. Yet the village elder, Kiba Wolfe, has not joined in the festivities. A dream he had the night before plagues him. A dream where he stands in a city unlike any he has known facing enemies he has only read about and heard stories of. He has spent the entire day deep in the Temple of Selena in deep meditation.

Unknown to him though he is not alone. Another entered the temple behind him, their intentions all but pure. She is Sapphire; an assassin sent by Solaris, the village of death as it has been called. Long have there been hostilities between the two but never has there been an attempt on a village leader during the Lunar Festival. It has been an unspoken agreement never to fight on a sacred day but now one side has decided to ignore that agreement and attack. This can't bode well for future events.

'It's time you die,' she whispers rising her dagger once she's close enough to him but before she lands the blow that would have killed him the light of the full moon magnifies around him until he vanishes, saved from his fate by divine intervention.

"What the hell? Where am I?" He exclaims in shock taking up his fighting stance.

"Do not fear Kiba, you are safe. I am Selena. Queen of the Lunar Kingdom." A voice says from behind him. He turns and behind him he sees a woman wearing a long silver dress with silver hair.

"Why am I here? Why did you bring me here?" He questions without dropping his guard.

"You need not be so hostile. I mean no harm. I wish to ask a favor of you." She says pointing to a strange globe. "Please look into the crystal ball here. You will see what will be in time."

Hesitantly he steps over to the orb and what he sees amazes and shocks him. He sees a city larger then any he has seen in his life. Buildings reaching to the heavens. In the center he sees a group of girls dressed rather oddly fighting a being that was all too familiar to him. His twin, thought to be dead, alive and causing trouble in the future for it is quite obvious that that is what he was witnessing. The future of the world.

"What favor did you wish to ask of me Lady Selena?"

"The blonde haired girl you see at the front is my daughter, Serenity. She and her friends are the Sailor Scouts, guardians of life and love. They have done well but soon they will face a threat they have no hope of stopping. I would like you to aid them."

"Why me? If you have the power to call me from my time then why can't you help them yourself?

"My power is nearly drained just from speaking with you. And in two days my remaining power will be used to send my daughter and her friends to be reborn on Earth. What you saw has yet to happen."

Glancing back at the orb, Kiba contemplates the scene he sees. "Very well. I'll help."

"I thought you'd say that. Thank you." Queen Selena says as she opens a gate though time. "Beyond this gate is the future. As soon as you step though you will know all you need to know about that time. I pray for your success."

As he walks towards the gate he glances back and grins, "Let's hope that there are no complications." He says as he steps though the gate...

Within the Hall of Time...

So, this is the Hall of Time. Kiba says aloud as he walks though what appears to be a hallway. On either side of him as well as above and below him are images of events that have and will happen. He sees his village grow and prosper under the watchful eye of his adopted sisters. The Ten villages unite against a common foe, technology advance to heights he never imagined. All of history unfolds before him. All of it he learns and memorizes. Incredible. All of this history. All of this knowledge I would have missed had I not been sent on this quest. I hope that I can live up to the Queen's expectations.

Looking forward, he sees a light at the end of the path. Looks like my stop. He murmurs to himself as he nears the light.

When he gets close enough the light slowly engulfs him and he feels a long forgotten presence. The presence of his sacred blade, Fenrir.

As the light around him fades, he is met by a rather unwanted scene. Before him he sees his brother attacking a group of girls who he quickly recognizes as the Sailor Scouts.

Without much thought he charges forward materializing gauntlets1 as he does so, charging the right one with fire energy. "Leeeooooo!" He yells as he leaps high in the air to deliver an earth shattering punch.

"What?" the one called Leo says in shock as he blocked the attack, "Kiba? What are you doing here?"

"Stopping you." He says as he steps back and swings with an ice punch that connects squarely with Leo's cheek, knocking him off his feet. Moving right in for another attack, Kiba cocks his arm back and unleashes a mixed element punch. "Burning Dragon Blizzard!" He calls as he lands a devastating attack on Leo knocking him back.

"Gragh! Damn you. How can you be so strong even without your sword?" He asks as holds his left side in pain.

'Leo, forget about him. We have accomplished our objective.' A voice says to him.

"Humph. We'll finish this another time." He growls as he fades into the shadows.

"What? Damn it you fucking bastard. Next time you won't be so lucky." Kiba yells after him. "This is but only the beginning."

"Who the hell are you? And how the hell do you know that psycho?" The dark haired one in red asks.

"Rei, relax. No need to be so violent. It's obvious he isn't our enemy." A blonde haired girl with impossibly long ponytails says as she places her hand on Rei's shoulder.

Glancing at them, he sizes them all up. They're quite skilled at what they do but not enough to handle what they must face now. 'Explains why I was sent here to help them.' He thinks to himself. He notices that there is but one guy amongst them. "My name is Kiba. That psycho as you aptly put it was my twin. We don't quite see eye to eye now a days. To answer your unasked question, I was sent here by Queen Serenity. I am from Serus."
