Final Moon VII.

Author's Note: Not much to say here, except that I don't own Sailor Moon or Final Fantasy VII.


Chapter Two: The Birth of Sailor Moon.

Passing through Sector 7 to reach Sector 3, Serena walked passed "Tifa's 7th Heaven" and just passed a video arcade, but noticed something on the door, and stopped, looked back and noticed a poster of the newly made game which featured the mysterious Sailor V, who, while not liked by ShinRa, was very much liked by the world, as the girl protects the innocent and fights to save the world itself.

Serena was surprised, not having heard of a game being made based on her favorite heroine. Now that the fourteen year old thought of it, Sailor V was very beautiful, and looked very brave, and yet, she was smiling.

She bend on her knees as she continued to gaze at the poster, and admitted to herself, "I wish I could be like Sailor V. She's very beautiful and smart, more caring than SOLDIER and the Turks. I bet she has more important things in life, not like mine."

Unaware of the girl, was the same cat from earilier, who was keeping an eye on her from the corner of the store, keeping close eye.

"Who am I kidding?" Serena sighed as she gazed at her exam results again, "I'll never be like Sailor V-not with grades like this! Mom's gonna kick me out when she sees this."

Standing up, Serena cried loudly, letting out water-works of tears, exclaiming to pretty much no one, "What am I going to do!?" before sniffling emotionally, then turned and walked the rest of the way back home.

What she didn't know, is that the cat was in shock as she stared at Serena's retreating form, and even exclaimed softly to herself in plain english, "I can't believe it! This cry-baby is the one!?" as she can obviously speak human language. But she kept it secret for a long time.

Now, having found the one she's been searching for, her secret will be let out in a little while.


Aerith was busy tendering to her flowers, when she heard someone screaming, and obviously falling. Looking up, she gasped and moved out of the way just in time, as an unfamiliar figure fell through the roof and landed onto her flowers, losing consciousness as a result. She gasped in shock, while mentalling groaning that this was the third time in a row that people had come and fallen through the roof of the church and onto her flowers for a soft landing. What was her garden made out of? A bed?

But as she went to approach the person, she gasped in surprise, as the man before her was seemingly a SOLDIER 1st Class, except that one of his shoulder pads was missing, his gloves held weird designs, one black with a metal bracelet that looked like gears, and the other fingerless. On his back was a large sword which reminded her of someone else she knew. What caught off-guards was that the man's hair was spiky blonde and he looked about a year younger than her, but tall none the less.

She also had to admit, he was very cute. She then realised that she had seen this person before; Just the other day, while she was out selling flowers, this person approached her and bought one of her flowers.

Deciding that he needed to wake up, Aerith gently hovered over the person, and asked, "Are you alright?"

He made a few mumbled words, like he was talking in his sleep. Another deja vu for Aerith.

But then he slightly moved, so Aerith tried again, "Hello? Hello? Hello, hello!"

This time, it worked. The young man slowly opened his bright blue eyes, blinking away the bright light, and only then did he notice her, though he was a bit dazed. He stared at her for a moment, before sitting up suddenly, feeling embarrased.

"You okay?" asked Aerith. The young man nodded, then he asked, "Where am I?"

"This is the church in the Sector 5 Slums. You suddenly fell almost on top of me. It really gave me a scare." Aerith explained.

The young man, whose name is Cloud Strife, Ex-SOLDIER 1st Class, didn't reply and looked down, realising that he was sitting on top of broken wood planks, as well as the flowerbed with short grass as well. Seeing the planks, he looked up at the hole in the roof, before looking at Aerith and asked, "I came crashing down?" still a bit dazed.

Aerith nodded, "The roof and the flowerbed must've broken your fall. You're lucky."

"Flower bed..." Cloud said, confused. He looked back at the flowers, which were lying crushed beneath him and those flowers. "This is yours?" hurriedly he jumped up off the flowers before he could destroy anymore of them, picking up his sword from the ground.

He turned back to Aerith sheepishly and said, "Sorry about that."

Aerith shook her head with a smile, replying, "That's all right." then explained, "The flowers here are quite resilient because this is a sacred place. They say you can't grow grass and flowers in Midgar. But for some reason, the flowers have no trouble blooming here." she looked at the flowers and added, "I love it here." before bending down to tend to her flowers, relieved that only a few were crushed, but also relieved that the flowers and the roof had saved Cloud's life.

Then she looked up at Cloud who went up to her, and she said, "…So, we meet again."

When Cloud looked confused, Aerith asked, looking a bit hurt, "Don't you remember me? You do?"

Thinking about it, Cloud recalled in seeing a young woman selling flowers earlier, and then he realised that Aerith was the same one, and he nodded, answering, "Yeah, I remember… You were selling flowers."

"Oh!" Aerith pipped up happily, standing up, "I'm so happy! Thanks for buying my flowers." she said, before asking, "Say, do you have any Materia?"

Cloud nodded, showing his gaunlet on his arm, replying, "Yes, some. Nowadays you can find materia anywhere." before noticing one in Aerith's hair which was in the middle of the pink hair-bow which it's colour matched her pink dress and it suited nicely with her red small over-coat.

"But mine is special. It's good for absolutely nothing." Aerith shrugged.

"…good for nothing?" Cloud asked, then thought, "You probably just don't know how to use it."

Aerith shook her head, "No, I do…it just doesn't do anything. I feel safe having it. It was my mother's… Say, I feel like talking. Do you feel up to it? After all,

here we are meeting again, right?"

With nothing better to do and not wanting to face Barret's grumpy moods again, despite that Tifa is probably worried sick about him, Cloud shrugged, "I don't mind."

The girl nodded, before remebering, "Oh! Now that you mention it… We don't know each other's names, do we?" before introducing herself, "My name is Aerith, the flower girl. Nice to meet you."

"The name's Cloud." Cloud introduced himself in return.

The two of them then talked about a few things, like Cloud's job in doing a lot of things, before Aerith noticed something near the enterance of the church, now getting nervous and turned back to Cloud, asking, "Say, Cloud. Have you ever been a bodyguard? You DO do everything, right?"

A bit surprised, Cloud then nodded, "Yeah, that's right."

He was even more surprised when Aerith went up to him, held onto his hands, and pleaded, "Then, get me out of here. Take me home."

Cloud blinked blankly, before nodding, "Okay, I'll do that." before adding, "But it'll cost you."

Aerith thought about it deeply, thinking about how to pay Cloud, then suggested, "How about if I go out with you once?"

Now Cloud was really surprised and even jumped back unexpectedly. Then he remembered that there wasn't much in a way of money in the Slums, so he nodded and turned around to see what Aerith was looking at and was afraid of.

There was another man standing there-Reno, who came in silently while Aerith and Cloud were talking and it was Reno's entry that made Aerith nervous.

With the cold and cruel expression on Reno's face that had Cloud already figure out that he wasn't a friend of Aerith's.

This is why she became so nervous.


Finally at home, and having escaped her mother's wrath, Serena was in her room, lying on her bed, still in her school uniform, and was excused. It was a good thing that her mother was still at work and was probably on her way to the pub right about now, and Evan was out himself looking for a job, but Serena, being a school girl, wasn't ready for any job yet.

"Ugh, studying can be very, very tiring." Serena sighed to herself, "All those books, and those words...it can't be too good for a person. How do the science department do it?"

Feeling sleepy, Serena lied on her side, closed her eyes, yawned and then fell asleep, though she was still unaware of what's going to happen. As she slept, her window doors opened, and a shadow silently loomed over her, before the doors slammed shut unexpectedly, causing her to wake up again.

Confused, Serena turned to look behind her, and, to her surprise, on her bed next to her, was the same black cat she saved earlier while heading to school, and the cat was looking at her. Sitting up in fright, Serena gasped and asked, "You scared me! What are you doing here?" though she figured that the cat wouldn't reply since cats don't speak human.

Except that this one did, as the cat answered, "Why Serena, I came looking for you of course. Who else?"

Now freaking out, Serena fell out of bed, hid behind the side of it while her head was still visible, utterly terrified, as she exclaimed, "A talking cat!? Man, it must be the mad scientests experiments or something coming to haunt me!"

Ignoring Serena's comments, the cat sat straight on all fours, clearing her throat, and introduced herself, "My name is Luna, and I had been searching for you for a long time. I have been sent by the Ancients from the olden times."

'I knew it! I'm being haunted!' Serena thought to herself while still freaking out by the Cat who calls herself Luna.

"You are the chosen one, and I've been sent here to guide you." Luna explained, "I wasn't quite sure the first time we met, but I've been watching you, and now I know exactly who you are; the Sailor Scout cresented by the Moon." then approached Serena who hid her face in her arms, still scared.

"I'm listening!" Serena cried out, still thinking that a horror movie had come to life to haunt her, or that Hojo, the mad scientest that came to the academy one day is out to get her for his evil experiments like in the movies.

Annoyed that the girl wasn't paying attention and was thinking that she was being hunted down, Luna exclaimed, "No you're not, Serena! Your friend Aerith is the one who is being hunted down by ShinRa who want to use her for evil purposes!" before standing on her back legs and used her front legs to push onto the girl's head, adding, "You have got to help her!"

Seeing that she wasn't getting anywhere, Luna stood back on her four legs, saying, "You don't believe me? Well all right then, I'll prove it to you!"

She then leaped into the air, did a sulmusault with magic glittering in the circle, before it materalised into a small locket which landed onto Serena's bed. It was a golden round locket that held a cresent moon on it, and four dots in four colours; red, blue, yellow and green, and a pink circle in the middle above the cresent moon symbol.

Opening one of her eyes, Serena noticed it and asked, "What is that?" surprised at it.

"It's a special locket, just for you." Luna answered.

"Wow! For me?" Serena asked, now no longer scared, and was happy that the cat, although was talking, was actually giving her a gift. She picked it up, and said, "It's beautiful!" before hooking it onto the middle of her school uniformed keffyle just like Aerith hooked a useless but gorgeus materia into her hair-bow.

Giggling, Serena said, "I should wear it! Aerith'll love this!" before standing and going over to her mirror to admire her new gift.

Sweatdropping, Luna pointed out, "Serena! It's not a piece of jewlarly! Listen to me!"

"Aren't you hearing what I'm saying?" Luna continued, "Sailor Moon; sworn to protect the planet and restore the Lifestream, defending the last of the Ancients, including the Ancient's Princess born with the cresent of the Moon!"

She then leaped onto the counter where Serena's mirror is, getting the teenager's attention again, and Luna continued, "The ShinRa company hides evil secrets that threaten the world, including monsters created by Proffessor Hojo, and that Locket will help you fight them!"

"Wait a second." Serena thought, "You want ME to fight against ShinRa? But they've got SOLDIER and the Turks and the army. I can't fight them all by myself!" she pointed out. "Besides, going up against ShinRa is like asking for a death penalty, and Wutai surrendered in the War years ago."

"There are others, and the newer AVALANCHE are working to save the world by shutting down the Mako reactors which are sucking up the Planet's life energy; You are Sailor Moon! One of the world's Guardians and heroes!" Luna said.

"You mean like the late Sephiroth?" Serena asked, "Or Sailor V?"

Luna answered, "This is no joke, Serena. It's your destiny."

"My destiny?" Serena asked, "I must be dreaming."

"It's not a dream." Luna said, "I'll prove it to you. Now, repeat after me; MOON, PRISM, POWER!"

Deciding that she is dreaming, Serena also decided to go along with it and saluted, "Okay!" before exclaiming, "MOON, PRISM, POWER!"

And the transformation began. Her locket covered her body in ribbions which began to magically replace her school uniform and got her into a new outfit; A white outfit with a short blue fuku, blue sailor's shoulder-scarf with two white lines, a red bow where her locket now rested on her front, and a red bow on her lower back, red boots with white stripes on the top with two cresent moon symbols, white gloves with red linings that ended on her elbows, dangling moon earings, a red choker with a cresent moon, a golden tiara with a single red ruby stone in the middle, and finally, two ruby jewels in her hair buns, and when she finished transforming, she did a pose, and she is now the champion of the world.

Serena had become Sailor Moon.

Realising that she was looking at herself in her mirror and seeing that her clothes changed, Serena, or, rather right now, Sailor Moon, was looking down at herself, exclaiming, "AH! What happened!? This dream's getting weirder and weirder! Clothes don't just change all by themselves! What's going on!? I don't wanna fight ShinRa!"

As she was exclaiming this, Sailor Moon didn't notice that even Luna was a bit surprised at the transformation, that, or she's just dumbfounded at Sailor Moon's reactor.

However, after Sailor Moon finished, her hair-jewels suddenly glowed and the next thing she knew, she was hearing a familiar but pleading voice.

"Then, get me out of here. Take me home!"

Gasping in a confused surprise, Sailor Moon realised who it was, and turned to Luna, saying, "That's Aerith."

"That's right, she's in big trouble." Luna informed.

"Yeah, but what can I do?" Sailor Moon thought, "Good grief, I'm just a kid."

Luna shook her head and corrected, "You are Sailor Moon. You must fight to protect your friends. Believe in yourself."

Puzzled, confused and a bit nervous, Sailor Moon somehow felt that Aerith needed her right now, and even if there was probably already someone there to help her, she decided to at least try this heroine stuff just once. Besides, if Sailor V could do it, as she is a sailor guardian now, Sailor Moon could too.

"Okay." she finally replied.

With that, the two of them sneaked out of her house, and raced back to Sector 5's Church to rescue Aerith.


I know that this is kinda like a Final Fantasy VII replica of the first episode of Sailor Moon, but I wanted it to start out this way. Please review and tell me what you think, and look out for more chapters. If you're also interested in my other stories, go to my link and check them out.
