Author's Notes: I am sorry for the ridiculously long wait. I was caught up in some affairs that are none of my biz.
Also, I created one account, but forgot the password. Then I gave my account the wrong name. So, until I can delete the other account, (which I don't ever use anyhow,) I might just call this one White Dragon Ninja (Like the Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal card, since I have a White Lego Ninja account I can't use)
Wow! At long last, the gang's all together. This chapter we meet Queen Serenity, and we might even get to see what Serena's up to. Just a fair warning: Expect plenty of changes in the music that plays.
To System X: As much as I Hate to disappoint you-or ANYONE for that matter-I am Not going to use Halo characters in my story.
To whoever did their story: A Sonic & Sailor Moon crossover, I think it had a girl named Jennifer & the doctor had to deliver her early so she wouldn't get hurt, (I really wish I could think of the name of it,) what in the Moon Kingdom happened to it?!
To whoever did their Sailor Moon/Pokemon AU Crossover versions of 'The Lion King' & 'The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride', I miss reading that.
I know I said I wasn't going to post anymore if I didn't get reviewed last chapter, but this is one of the chapters I've been waiting-eagerly if not patiently-to post.
This is your LAST CHANCE to help me think of the Heroes'/Villains' children's names/genders. Think long & hard, and tell me in your Reviews, or guess what I'm gonna stop doing?
I know I only mentioned 9 Fandoms, but I might want to use Holly Hobbie and her Friends in this. Hey! I've read Fan-Fictions that didn't even have a Disclaimer at the start, so… Just go with it!
I'm sure some of you must be thinking: 'Aryll from Wind Waker, with Saria & Ocarina of Time Link?' It's simple enough: It's Fan-Fiction, My Story, MY Rules, so there!
Finally: If you remember Aryll, Sparkle, Bonnie and Alexis, you've seen all of my choices for who should get all the powers skills and such from each of the others. So, as well as the names/genders of the children, you must also help me decide who becomes: Sailor Blue Moon.
Fun Fact: First I thought I should call her Sailor New Moon. Then, I thought about the stages of the cycle and figured: 'Nah, that stage is the entire dark side of the moon. I want to use a stage that you can actually see.' Then it hit me: Blue Moon, That's it!
Queen Serenity: (walks in holding a blanketed bundle) What's all the yelling about?
W.L.N.: Sorry, I didn't mean to wake her.
Queen Serenity: You didn't, but please keep your voice down before you do. I just got her to sleep.
W.L.N.: (Whispers) On with the story.
Chapter 4: Gathering, and the Legend of the Moon Kingdom.
She opened her eyes, gasping in surprise. She could breathe again. She stood up and looked around at the ruins of her once beautiful sovereignty. Then she remembered what happened: She'd lost everything she held close to her heart when Queen Beryl attacked: her people, her court, but most painful of all, she'd lost her only child, Serena.
She'd lost everything that terrible night.
From at her side, a female voice said: "Forgive me your Majesty, but we will be expecting visitors, and plenty of them."
Serenity turned to Sailor Pluto and nodded in understanding.

From various places around the kingdom ruins, bright lights began to flash. Varying numbers of people filed through them.
"What in Din's Fire?" Link asked as Aryll held his hand.
"It looks like some sort of…kingdom," IQ speculated, cleaning his glasses on his shirt.
"What happened here? It's completely destroyed." Yami's eyes began to sting as the tears threatened to fall.
Sparkle clung close between Aqune and Corona, nervously gazing at the bundles in each of their arms.
"Whoa, guys! Look!" Hunter pointed up to the starry sky. Where a person would normally see the Moon, the Earth hung there.
"But that's Earth," Misty said, holding Togepi protectively.
"That means…" Hart was too scared to finish his sentence. Though no one heard him say it aloud, he was more worried about the bundle in Dextra's arms.
"I sense a presence here," Astral commented. Yuma nodded.
"I think someone's here too Astral."
As the Heroes gathered closer to the altar in the center, they all took notice of one another.
"Who's your pet?" Link asked, eyeing Pikachu as Ash stepped up to him.
"What's with the flute?" Ash replied, scratching his head.
"What's with the oversized watch?" Hunter asked Yami, patting it with his left hand.
"What's that accessory you have on?" Yami inquired, touching Hunter's manacle.
Eyeing Bonnie, Hart lifted his hand as though to place it on her shoulder, but hesitated. Bonnie giggled, blushing.
"Oh it's ok, I won't bite." Taking his hand she added, "I'm Bonnie."
"Hi! Hart Tenjo." Hart gently shook her hand, relaxing.
From off to the side a voice called: "Oh good, you're all here." The group tensed. That wasn't the voice they all heard calling them.
"Who are you?" Billy asked: One hand (Right) gripping his sword, the other (Left) on Marion's shoulder.
The figure stepped forth and walked toward the center of the altar. She was wearing a pure white royal gown, and had hair as pure white as her gown, done in odangos on both sides and ball-shaped buns on the top, that reached her heels. Brock lost his cool again, and was gripping his chest as though he was having a heart attack.
"What be the name of such a beautiful maiden such as thee?" he asked.
"My name is Queen Serenity. Welcome." The figure bowed to the Heroes.
"Where are we?" Aryll asked aloud what Sparkle and Bonnie were too scared to say, but were obviously thinking.
"The place where you all stand is the Moon." Hart gasped at her words, starting to shiver heavily. Queen Serenity continued: "These are the ruins of a once beautiful and prosperous kingdom that existed during the Silver Millennium."
"Whoa whoa, pause game for a soda break," Jimmy said with a little too much emotion than he wanted to. "There was a kingdom, on the Moon?!"
"Would you believe there's a hidden world inside the Earth?" Hunter, being his usual self, (and ignoring Shadow's chiding,) asked with a big grin. "There are kingdoms in there too!"
"Saria Aryll and I come from a distant planet called Legora, where we live near a kingdom called Hyrule." Link stated.
Queen Serenity cleared her throat, grabbing everyone's attention.
"Sorry Milady," Billy said, bowing to the Lunar Sovereign.
"Before most of you were born, but four thousand years after your time Atem," (Yami stared wide-eyed at the Lunar queen,) "the Solar System was a happy peaceful place known as the Silver Millennium. I lived there with my people."
"Wow. Talk about your Ancient History," Jimmy mused, gazing at Yami.
"Ahem. I'll share my story with you later." Yami, who had appeared in Spirit Form to hear the tale, gazed down to his feet, blushing slightly.
"Gather round, children, and I will share the legend of the past with you." As she lifted her hands upward, a bright shiny light engulfed them all. When the light dimmed, they were seeing the Moon Kingdom as though it had never been damaged.
(Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse: "Evergreen" theme kicks up)
"A thousand years ago, the Solar System was a happy peaceful place known as the Silver Millennium. The Moon Kingdom was the center of the Utopia, and the happiest place of all. Each planet, including Earth, had its own kingdom, but aside from Earth, each kingdom had a royal princess. These young ladies were also chosen to be warriors called the Sailor Scouts."
The sky shone bright with colorful fireworks as the people danced to beautiful soft music playing.
"There were nightly parties where everyone danced, laughed, and watched the fireworks. I of course raised my precious daughter, Serena, to follow in my footsteps and rule the Moon after I passed on. But most of her time she spent staring at the Earth. She'd fallen in love with the young prince from there, and hoped to marry him someday."
Sure enough, as the group gazed out to the balcony, they saw a girl of fifteen who stood up to Queen Serenity's chest, with yellow blonde hair done in the same style as the queen.
"Serena," called a voice from below. The princess gazed down to see a young gentleman in armor and a cape standing there.
"Darien. You are here."
"I have bad news princess," Darien said.
"You cannot come to the ball?" Serena asked.
"It is worse than that I'm afraid," Darien answered. "Terrible things have been occurring on Earth since an evil presence took over."
"Then you must go," Serena stated, trying to sound brave.
"Yes but by the time I get back home, it could already be too late. A mysterious evil queen called Beryl appeared from nowhere, and her warriors are strong, perhaps unbeatable."
From nearby a voice called: "Stop him! He could be a spy."
"Listen, I'd better go." And with that, Darien raced off…
Later in the palace:
Serena was making her way down the stairs when a voice said: "Princess, might I have this dance? It could be our last one." Seeing how the young man was dressed, Serena knew it was Darien, even though he wore a mask to hide his eyes.
"I am so happy you have returned," Serena said, smiling warmly as she took hold of his hand.
As the two danced, Darien explained the dreaded circumstances to Serena: "I could never leave before having one final dance together with you. I fear all of this is going to change dramatically, and soon. This Queen Beryl is more dangerous than I had heard. The entire universe is in terrible danger."
"Even the moon?"
"Especially the moon. Beryl hopes to conquer the entire universe, but in order to accomplish that she must first conquer the moon. Much as I hate to tell you this, you must prepare for the worst, Serena. Your mother, Queen Serenity, knows I am not a spy, thus she has granted me permission to stay and assist in defending the kingdom."
After finishing their dance, Serena took Darien out to the balcony, incidentally the same balcony she had stood on earlier, and gazed up at the stars and Earth together.
"I cannot believe this is happening," Serena said sadly.
"Queen Beryl is vicious and cruel. She will destroy anyone and everyone to quench her insane thirst for power. I promise, my love, I will fight with everything I have and do whatever I can. But…" He took her hand in his, "You must understand that I might not return. I just hope you realize how much you mean to me."
"As I hope you realize the same about me," Serena softly stated, gazing up into his eyes.
"You're in my heart."
"As you will always be in mine as well."
The two embraced each other, kissing passionately. Both savored the moments together as best they possibly could…
One hour later…
(Ninja Gaiden 2: cutscene 6 theme kicks up)
A malevolent shadow appeared. Warriors wielding energy blades jumped out screaming murder. Darien's prediction had come true.
Two talking cats with a yellow crescent moon on their foreheads, a white male and a black female, raced frantically through the palace.
"We're under attack! Under attack!" the black female, Luna, shouted.
"Get ready for battle!" Artemis, the white male called. "We need everyone we can get to fight!"
The shadow threw a powerful blast of energy at the kingdom. Columns crashed down and glass shattered.
"Mercury Bubbles Blast!"
"Mars Fire Ignite!"
"Jupiter Thunder Crash!"
"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"
The shadow chuckled evilly as the combined attack from the four Inner Sailors did not affect it. It raised a claw-like hand and fired a green beam of negative energy. The Inners shrieked as the energy tore through them, killing them.
In another part of the collapsing castle, Serena watched as a woman with long red hair, long claw-like fingers, and black tiara and gown appeared right above her. Serena gasped, covering her mouth with her hand, realizing who it was: The ruler of the Negaverse, Queen Beryl.
"Well well well, little miss moon princess is here. All dressed up and no place to go… except OBLIVION!" Beryl thrust a hand out to claw Serena, but a rose cut through her hand forcing her to hold back.
"Who are you?" Beryl snarled at the young prince who had thrown the rose.
"My name is Prince Darien. I have sworn to defend the Moon Kingdom from evil like yourself."
"Prince Darien from Earth?!" Beryl gasped as he jumped between her and Serena. "I've heard of you boy, you have great promise! I can see why she'd hold onto you, but you waste your time with that brat! Why don't you come with me and taste the joys of winning Darien? You and I shall rule the Negaverse together!"
"Thanks but no thanks Beryl. I would never join forces with a serpent like you, so twisted ugly and full of bitterness."
"NO ONE EVER DARES SPEAK TO QUEEN BERYL IN THAT MANNER!" Beryl sneered angrily.
The shadow seemed to take its mistress' words as a signal, firing a beam of dark energy that seemed to unleash a vortex of reverse gravity at the young royal couple. Darien got captured in the vortex and was being driven upward.
"Run Serena! Run!"
"No Darien, I want to be with you!" Serena cried as she raced to get to him.
"No, you can't!"
The girl ignored her lover's protests and jumped into the vortex after him, taking his hand tightly. The shadow took this chance to fire a deadly beam at them and finish them off.
The Moon cats and Queen Serenity sped to the scene and saw the bodies hanging limp in the air.
"Darien! Serena!" Serenity shouted, tears welling up into her wide open eyes. "She got them both!"
"No, not the pirncess, no…" Luna sobbed, hanging her head low.
"Ha ha! Lovely! The pretty brat and her love are gone, but the serpent survives! They'll never mess with me or my power again!"
"No it can't be true! Serena!" Serenity wailed, dropping to her knees. Then, realizing she could not afford to cry, she conposed herself. "Don't worry my child; I won't let it end like this… I can't let them take your future…" Slowly, she inserted a silver gem into a slot in her wand, which had a yellow crescent moon on top. The gem glowed with a bright pink hue, signaling that it was ready.
"Queen Serenity, if you use the Imperium Silver Crystal you won't have any strength left." Luna gasped, fearing for her mistress' safety.
"I understand Luna, but this is the only way. Sometimes there must be sacrifice in order to achieve real peace." Queen Serenity felt the tears well into her eyes. No! She would not cry. She had to be strong, for her people, for Serena, and for herself.
"Cosmic Moon Power!" An aura of bright swirling pink light, the kingdom was getting snowed on with glittering moon dust.
"What is this?" Beryl asked, glowering.
The shadow shrieked in agony as its body was consumed by power.
"You can't do this to me!" Beryl yelled as the light began to consume her and her warriors. Just before she vanished she loudly called out: "You haven't seen the last of me Serenity!"
Just as suddenly as it had all started, the battle was over.
(Ninja Gaiden 1, "Requiem", kicks up)
"Queen Serenity, you did it." Luna said.
"They're gone," Artemis cheered, "you beat them!"
"I have trapped them all, yes. Had I destroyed them I would've destroyed Serena and my own court as well." Queen Serenity began to sob as she lay against a fallen pillar, her strength slowly slipping away. "Now, they're all inside the crystal, and I must send them to be reborn in the future on Earth."
"But you saved them. Why so sad?" Artemis asked.
"Because none of them will remember this time or place. And worse, I'll never see my sweet darling Serena, or you two ever again." Raising the wand she continued, "But this is the only way for any of you to live on. I've got just enough power to send everything you will need to the future. Serena and her court will need your assistance should the Negaforce ever break free."
"Yes!" Luna and Artemis chorused, simply but with much emphasis.
"All of you will be reborn with no memory whatsoever of this beautiful sovereignty. But should evil forces try to repeat what they have done here, you two will know what to do. Now, farewell, and good luck, all of you…" Slowly, Queen Serenity inserted the Imperium Crystal into the Crescent Moon Wand, lifted it, and opened her hand. It slowly soared upwards, and a final bright light fell over the kingdom. All innocent souls who had lost their lives were encased inside golden bubble-like spheres, floating towards the Earth.
"Goodbye Serena, please be happy. On behalf of the Moon Kingdom, you will be free again. You are in my heart, always… Perhaps we'll meet again someday…" With that, the Lunar Queen could no longer hold out. She closed her eyes and faded away. Luna and Artemis were placed in time capsules and sent to the earth as well…
(Heart of Madness kicks up again)
As the light faded, the Moon Kingdom seemed to return to the ruined state in which it was when all the Heroes first arrived there. Despite how strong and, "Emotionally Detached", they all were, now they all had tears welling up in their eyes. Some, like Billy and Jimmy, stood tall despite the tears falling. Others, like the Spider Riders-save Magma, were sobbing softly holding one another. Brock was crying at the idea that someone as beautiful as Queen Serenity could've died, but not his usual bouts whenever he had to leave Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny behind. These sobs and sniffles were pure and genuine. That being the case, (and Ash and Misty being so tearful still,) he didn't get an elbow to the chest, or his ear yanked.
"Someone as wise and beautiful as you should never have gone through that."
"That Beryl woman, she's about as lame and evil as the Shadow Master," Jimmy stated simply, but firmly.
"And I thought Mantid wanting to rule the Inner World was bad," Hunter said, rubbing Sparkle's back. The others would have said the same, changing the name of the Villain to that of their own enemy of course.
The little bundles, which the Heroes now came to realize were babies, were crying again; they had cried several times: First in fear when the battle started, then in sadness when Serena and Darien were killed, and finally-softer though-when Serenity lay dying against the fallen pillar.
"I'm so sorry that all happened Milady," Alexis said. Serena was holding Bonnie who was sobbing into her chest. Syrus sobbed into Jaden's chest, while Jaden rubbed his back & repeated: "Come on Sy, it's cool man."
"And to think," Billy said, "that little crystal could rival the Dragon Claw Daggers." He and Jimmy held up said items.
"Or the Triforce." Link said, gazing at the triangle on the back of his hand.
"Or the combined power of the four Oracle Keys," Hunter added.
"Did Beryl ever come back as she said she would?" Bonnie had finally stopped crying enough to speak again.
"She did," Serenity nodded. "Fortunately, my daughter managed to defeat her in a final epic battle. I doubt Beryl will be causing trouble again."
"I wouldn't be so certain of that." A voice called. Sailor Pluto, who had watched from the distance, had finally decided to join the circle.
Seeing Pluto's figure, Link gasped.
"You're the girl from the Temple of Time!"
"Yes," she said. "My name is Sailor Pluto. I am the Guardian of the Gates of Time."
"Are you a Sailor Scout too?" Aryll asked. Pluto nodded.
"Beryl has absorbed the power of the Doom Phantom." Pluto explained, "By absorbing him, he coming from the future, and she being from the past, the Time Gates have been broken open. As long as they exist in the same time, and the Time Gates remain open, the entire universe is in unspeakable danger."
"I don't suppose these little tykes have anything to do with that?" Hunter asked, pointing to the bundles in the Heroes' arms. Pluto nodded.
"These little darlings are your children, and they were sent to your time from the future so they would be protected from the evil Queen Beryl plans on unleashing. That's why they appeared to you."
"And as you are all here," Queen Serenity added, "That can only mean that-"
"Beryl is calling all our enemies together to change the past and rule the universe?" Jimmy asked… actually looking scared.
"Why that low down dirty-"
"Cool it Brock," Clemont said, grabbing his shoulder.
"The Pichu that aided you against Team Rocket," Pluto told Ash, placing her hand on his shoulder, "is the daughter of your Pikachu as well."
"Pika?" Pikachu and Ash gazed at each other in a "Staring Contest" sort of manner, confused.
"You must hurry," Sailor Pluto said. "I will open a portal to take you each back home. Then you can pack whatever you need."
"And when you finish, I will meet you at Serena's home on Earth." Serenity gazed warmly at each Hero.
"We will not fail you, Milady," Ash said, speaking for them all as they all nodded, and some like Hunter softly punched their palms with their fists.
Serenity nodded, turned to Pluto, but was saved the trouble of speaking. Sailor Pluto opened a Time Vortex. As each Hero stepped through, they were sent back to their own worlds.
"Please be gentle with them." Pluto was referring to Serena's family on Earth.
"I suppose the time has come to tell them the truth. Luna can help me though."
After the Heroes vanished, the portal lingered a little longer. Serenity took this chance to step in and go to Serena's home in Japan.
The ultimate battle for the Universe had begun!
A/N: So maybe I didn't get to Serena, but I'm not complaining. Whew! Finally got to the end. Wow! This is the LONGEST chapter I've written yet.
Hart: Wow, I was right. This IS a long chapter.
Bonnie: And all those little babies in trouble.
Sailor Moon: Relax, Bonnie, Darien and I had to babysit a little guy after a Negacreep zapped his mommy. Maybe there can be a chapter where Darien and I teach the rest how.
W.L.N.: Remember: Read, Rate, Review, and leave lots of ideas for the babies' names/genders. As I said at the top, this is your LAST CHANCE!
Cheers.
