Flash Back: In the beginning

Standing on the moon Queen Serenity watched as Daitaro plotted against her child "Pluto" she whispered a frown on her face as she continued to stare at Daitaro "Are you sure old friend…are you sure that there is no way to stop him? There isn't a timeline that saves my daughter and earth?"

Pluto looked to her orb once more "the time lines are as they are Majesty…if the prince sacrifices his life for the princess than the earth will die…if Serenity is to parish than the crystal will parish with her…and if that happens…"

The Queen brought her hand up to her chin "the earth will eventually fall"

"The death of her Senshi will do no good; he wants her blood…not theirs" the Queen mumbled as she continued to think "is there no one that will satisfy his thrust?" turning to the Senshi of time Serenity crossed her arms over her chest "when does the time line say he will attack?"

"He is waiting for when Serenity is at her weakest" Pluto answered

"And when is this?"

Pluto hesitated for a moment "when she's with child majesty"

Serenity paled "Monster" she whispered turning away from her oldest friend as tears clouded her vision

"Two lives for one majesty" Pluto added "for the death of his mother and father…he wishes to take the life of the Queen and her unborn child"

"The Crystal is always at his weakest during a pregnancy" the Queen mumbled to her-self as she stared back at Daitaro "What if we send him earlier?" she questioned seriously

Pluto's eyes wide "I'm sorry your highness, what?"

"The reason he is not attacking her is because he is not powerful enough…am I correct?" Pluto nodded "what if I send him to the past now? Is there a way to save Serenity's life then? And how do we go about doing it?"

"He has no power at the moment; he knows it will be suicide if he tried to attack now"

"Yes, that is true" Serenity thought for a moment before continuing "as it is he only holds the power of the black moon clan, that isn't much…now that wise man is gone"

Pluto watched the Queen hesitantly as her purple orb began to glow, the shadows swirling in it revealing several new time lines with a gasp Pluto turned back to the Queen "Your majesty you must not do what you are thinking!" she warned "you can't"

"Tell me what you saw" she whispered softly as she turned to face Pluto "what did the timeline show?"

Pluto shook her head "I-I can't even put into words what I saw" fear flowed though the Senshi of time as she turned to her Queen "with all due respect highness if you do this…the time line…the time line will forever be broken…lives will be ruined by this"

Serenity nodded sadly as she turned her blue eyes back to earth, causing the image of her sleeping daughter to appear before her, with a gently hand she touched Usagi's cheek gently "mama" Usagi whispered as she continued in her slumber a smile on her face

"It's the only way Pluto" a silver tear trailed down her milky skin "the only way"

Curious

Present Day

She walked into the poorly lit room, her head held high as she took in the sight of the man standing staring at the image of her precious grandchild.

"You're late" he smirked as he brought the crimson liquid to his lips savoring its bitter taste. Taking a breather he continued to stare at the pink haired image "excuse me from not bowing, showing you any respect would cause me too fall ill"

"A Queen is never late" The silver haired woman hissed ignoring his last comment

"Please" he laughed "have you forgotten you are no longer a Queen, you're just a pathetic mortal…a sick human like the rest of them"

"Nevertheless; I am still a Queen" holding her head high, the former Queen of the moon stared dangerously at the man in front of her. Disrespectfully he stood with his back to her still staring at the small princess he had killed. Feeling her annoyance for the young prince of the dark moon grow, she allowed a small growl to leave her lips "Daitaro, I did my part now you do yours; release my daughter and her friends"

"Straight to the point?" he asked mockingly as he turned to the woman before him "I could send for some tea, we could sit-have a civil conversation" the Queen only glared. Shaking his head he stared at the former Queen of the moon, taking in the sight of her repulsed him to no end, she looked so much like herand her deceitful daughter. "Queen" her title tasted like acid as it sprang out of his mouth, with a mock bow the green haired man turned back to the large heliogram his eyes softening "She was beautiful wasn't she?" he asked his eyes became sad, regretful "a real prize, if only…"

"I did not come to have a conversation with you Daitaro, We had a deal, I held up my end of the bargain now you hold up yours" she hissed holding her fist at her sides "I am in no mood for your foolishness"

Daitaro chuckled as he turned to the Queen "I suppose not" he walked over to his favorite chair and took a seat "It is being done as we speak, your precious bitch of a princess will be set free as we agreed" he took a sip of his wine before adding "tell me Queen, how do you expect to win? She won't forgive you" he laughed "she'll never forgive you"

"What happens between my daughter and I is none of your concern, she'll understand eventually. The only thing that matters at this moment is her safety and the safety of her Senshi now we had a deal once my child and her guard are safelyreleased you are to leave this planet at once!"

"A life for a life am I correct?" he frowned walking up to the meddlesome Queen "but it seems I only received one life for her two"

"You'll get your second when the time comes and you return. But until that happens you are to leave, we had an agreement, a binding contract that even you cannot break"

Daitaro eyes took a darker shade as he glared seriously at the ex- Queen "Do not speak to me as if I am an invalid Queen, I know perfectly well of our contract!" he spat throwing his wine glass into the fire place, the glass spraying on to the floor "No one can go against the highest of powers, not even yourself" he growled "Izanagi-Megami is not one I wish to enrage"

Flash back

Daitaro stared at the woman before him, so this was the former Queen of the moon, this was Neo-Queen Serenity's mother…he stared at the Queen in disgust "You can't be serious? You wish to help me in my revenge?" he asked his brows frowned together in confusion; the Queen nodded a look of seriousness on her face "why? Why should I trust you?"

"I wish to save the life of my child and her unborn baby"

Daitaro glared at the spirit of the Queen "How did you know?"

"There isn't much I don't know" she answered simply "now as I told you, Izanagi has granted me life-and in return you will be granted the powers of the black moon…plus…powers of the white moon" she took a breath "my powers"

"This will make me stronger than Neo-Queen?" he asked taking a step closer to the Queen

"It will" she answered "in the past my daughter is not as strong as I am; she has yet to reach her full potential."

"If I accept this…this power, this contract…than you promise me a life, a life for the life she has taken, two lives"

"Yes"

"And none of the Senshi…blood, I want a blood relative! I want that bitch to feel the pain I felt when she took the lives of my parents"

"You will receive two lives, both blood of the lunardian house…"

"Serenity must be one of the lives" he said quickly "I will take no other in replace of hers, in fact I want the life of her daughter, I want the little princess" Daitaro grinned a look of determination "Two Serenities"

Without hesitation Queen serenity nodded "agreed" She stared at the man sternly as she added "do not forget by agreeing you also agree to not kill my daughter first" a sad look came over the Queens face "once the life is taken you are to leave earth and not return until the designated timeline we set arrives"

"Very well, I will agree to the contract" he lifted his sword cutting into the flesh of his hand; letting out a hiss he placed his bloodied palm on the golden document. With a small prayer Queen Serenity laid her ghostly hand over the bloodied mark and closed her eyes, her sparkling translucent skin became solid

"It is done" she whispered

End of Flash Back

He looked her up and down, a revolted look on his face "to grant you life just so that you may help me in my revenge against that disgusting vile princess"

"You have said enough" Queen Serenity yelled "you will not speak of my daughter in such an ill mannered way!"

"Very well…but be warned Serenity, I will have your daughter's life, and when that times comes there will be nothing you can do about it" with that said Daitaro pushed the former queen out of his chambers and slammed the heavy doors in front of her

"We'll see about that Daitaro…we'll see" she whispered taking her leave

I thought a Quick background on Izanagi and Izanami would be wise.Here is a Quick story of Izanami, the Japanese goddess of death. Thank to Wikipedia:

"Izanagi lamented the death of Izanami and undertook a journey toYomi, or "the shadowy land of the dead". Izanagi found little difference between Yomi and the land above, except for the eternal darkness. However, this suffocating darkness was enough to make him ache for the light and life above. Quickly, he searched for Izanami and found her. At first, Izanagi could not see her at all for the shadows hid her appearance well. Nevertheless, he asked her to return with him. Izanami spat out at him, informing Izanagi that he was too late. She had already eaten the food of the underworld and was now one with the land of the dead. She could no longer return to the surface with the living.

Izanagi was shocked at this news, but he refused to give in to her wishes of being left to the dark embrace of Yomi. Izanami agreed to go back to the world above but first requested to have some time to rest and instructed Izanagi not to come into her bedroom. After a long wait, Izanami did not come out of her bedroom and Izanagi was worried. While Izanami was sleeping, he took the comb that bound his long hair and set it alight as a torch. Under the sudden burst of light, he saw the horrid form of the once beautiful and graceful Izanami. She was now a rotting form of flesh with maggots and foul creatures running over her ravaged body.

Crying out loud, Izanagi could no longer control his fear and started to run, intending to return to the living and abandon his death-ridden wife. Izanami woke up shrieking and indignant and chased after him. Wild shikome or foul women also hunted for the frightened Izanagi, instructed by Izanami to bring him back.

Izanagi, thinking quickly, hurled down his headdress which became a bunch of black grapes. The shikome fell on these but continued pursuit. Next, Izanagi threw down his comb which became a clump of bamboo shoots. Now it was Yomi's creatures that began to give chase, but Izanagi urinated against a tree, creating a great river that increased his lead. Unfortunately, they still pursued Izanagi, forcing him to hurlpeachesat them. He knew this would not delay them for long, but he was nearly free, for the boundary of Yomi was now close at hand.

Izanagi burst out of the entrance and quickly pushed a boulder in the mouth of the cavern that was the entrance of Yomi. Izanami screamed from behind this impenetrable barricade and told Izanagi that if he left her she would destroy 1,000 living people every day. He furiously replied he would give life to 1,500.

And so began the existence of Death, caused by the hands of the proud Izanami, the abandoned wife of Izanagi."
