Hey, sorry it took so long to update this. My computer broke six months ago and I just finally got it back from being fixed by my brother. Hopefully this turns out good since I fell out of the groove that I had in my mind about where this would go.
After watching the most recent Doctor Who episode I decided to come up with a new character; William Kornelios Pond. I haven't decided if I would add River Song to the storyline yet. I do know that if I do then she will definitely NOT have a romantic relationship with the Doctor. In my mind it will always be Rose.
But I digress and apologize for the delay.
Without further ado...
Chapter One
Feet pounded the ground as a young, teenage girl wove her way through the crowded streets of Tokyo, Japan. She was quite pretty and turned a few heads of admiring males as she passed by. Her blonde hair that fell to mid-back was styled in corn-rows with little gems woven through making her hair glitter when the sunlight hit it. The ends were tied together with pink, red and white dangling hearts. She wore a pink baby-doll t-shirt with a British flag printed on the front, a jean jacket with a symbol for "Time" stitched on the left side that no one would recognize unless they knew the language, flare jeans bedazzled on the back pockets and pink converses.
Growing up in the family she had she had learned to run before walking; before crawling for that matter. It seemed that no matter the place or time her family had a knack for pissing people off and trying to stop a disaster of Alien Invasions. The first word she had said when she first spoke was not "Mama" or "Dada" or anything like that. It was RUN!
Phi Tyler was the second youngest child of a man who was the last of his kind; the Gallifrey, a species of Alien that were known as Time Lords and a human woman from the 21st Century Earth. Her parents had several companions that had traveled with them through the years. They had made many friends through Time and Space but also many enemies.
Drawing closer to the taller man in front of her a maniacal grin broke out on the girl's heart-shaped face. Her crystal blue eyes glinted as she pumped her feet faster. Turning into an alley the man stopped in front of a wall before turning to face his pursuer.
He was a handsome young man with brownish-blonde hair and light, almost clear grey eyes. He wore all black, black t-shirt that stretched across his broad chest, black jeans, and black biker boots. He wore leather wrist bands with symbols etched in gold of an ancient language long gone.
"Alone little Princess?" The man sneered as his gaze roamed Phi's body. "I don't know if it's brave or foolish for you to chase after me by yourself. Or perhaps you only want a repeat of past times."
Phi's lips curled in distaste. "Who says I'm alone, Victor? As for wanting a repeat; I want that about as much as the drums that beat in your daddy's crazy head."
It was a low blow she knew, but she didn't think that she would have been able to get a reaction out of him otherwise. It saddened her that the man she once knew was no longer the person in front of her. His father had obviously brought him around to his way of thinking.
Victor's eyes narrowed in rage as his fists clenched, taking a threatening step forward. It was then that a ginger-haired man silently landed behind him but before he could get to Victor, the man turned and landed a blow into his jaw knocking him onto his back.
"This isn't over." Victor threatened as he knocked the advancing Phi next to the down man. "My father will destroy this world that your pathetic sire loves so much!"
With a violent kick to the man's face, Victor was gone.
"Son of a Whore!" The ginger-haired man's voice was muffled by his hands and the blood that had gotten into his mouth. "That smarts. I can't believe that pansy got one on me."
"That pansy knocked you on your arse, William." Phi said as she helped him up. She drew in a breath through her teeth as she saw his face. Luckily, the wound was superficial and would heal quickly and it was already starting to bruise. She was sure that it looked worse than it was.
"He's certainly a lot stronger than he used to be." William conceded. "My mum's gonna kill me!"
"Yes, she is." A new voice sounded causing the two to spin around, alert. A tall, young man who looked to be in his early twenties stood in the entrance of the alley. His dark hair was cut short and styled with little spikes, the tips were bleached giving his hair a two-tone color. He wore a long blue coat with the "Time" symbol on the left side. A white button-up shirt underneath, blue jeans and combat boots. His blue eyes glimmered in anger as he stared them down.
"Alpha!" Phi said cheerfully as she gave her brother a bright smile.
"You are lucky that I decided to follow you." Alpha said. His arms were folded over his chest. "What were you thinking confronting Victor like that? You know he isn't the same man anymore. He's dangerous!"
"I know I should have called." Phi said rolling her eyes.
"You're right, you should have!" Alpha growled out, interrupting Phi. "When mum and dad find out about this..."
"They don't need to know." Phi said quickly. "Please, Alpha. We can tell them that we saw Victor but don't tell them about this."
Alpha sighed at his sister's pleading look. Victor would make things more complicated, for sure. They already had their hands full with the rumor of kids coming up missing at the local school. They already had the plan of infiltrating the school and taking care of the problem. Now with Victor in the mix-
"Fine." Alpha relented. "Victor might be involved with the missing kids. I'll tell mum and dad about him and I won't tell them about your confrontation."
Phi squealed as she hugged her brother. Then she remembered another matter. "William. What are we going to say happened to him?"
"I'll come up with something." William said as he looked at the drying blood on his fingers. Alpha and Phi gave him dubious looks. William had never been good at lying.
Hino Rei stared into the fire without really seeing. It had been a year since her best friend and Princess had died. Tsukino Usagi had been a bright light in her life and without her it seemed that the world had turned grey and desolate.
The guilt that had eaten away at the young raven-haired teen was unbearable most days. She blamed herself for the harsh words she had spoken in spite and anger that night. While they all had said terrible things, she felt that she had instigated it by speaking first.
The sorrow and heartbreak in those luminous blue eyes would haunt her dreams for the rest of her life. They hadn't even stuck around after, leaving right after berating the blonde superhero. If they had, they would have realized that she had been hurt by something that had not come from the youma she had dusted upon arrival.
They should have noticed the way she had slumped in pain as though it was hard for her to stand there. They should have noticed how pale she was from the blood loss that she was enduring, the sweat upon her brow as she struggled not to pass out in front of them. Her rapid breathing that was a sign that it would soon be her last.
They had all assumed it was because she was being yelled at. They had seen the remorse in her eyes over one of them being hurt as well as the pink-haired child that was being held in the tuxedo-clad hero's arms as he glared. They had all assumed that she was just being lazy and irresponsible and not out fighting another youma by herself before she got there.
Had they known.
"Rei, you're going to be late to school." A short, elderly bald man said standing in the doorway. "Are you alright?"
"Hai, grandpa." Rei said toneless as she slowly got to her feet. She gave her grandfather a lifeless kiss upon his cheek before trudging out. "I will be back later."
Rei's grandfather stared at her with sorrow-filled eyes. An equally sad looking blond-haired man watched as the raven-haired teen walked slowly down the steps of the shrine.
Mizuno Ami sat up in her bed as she tried to will away the images that had plagued her moments ago. She had changed after Usagi died. Her grades had suffered for it as she no longer seemed to care about school or getting into medical school as had been her dream for such a long time. Her mother had been worried of course and had sent Ami to a psychologist to which she blew off after the first session. The relationship with her mother had been strained ever since.
The bed shifting and a hand placed on her shoulder in a gesture of comfort brought none to Ami as she scooted off the edge of the bed and getting up in search of her clothes. She barely registered the sigh as she walked into the bathroom and slammed the door.
The young teenage woman/child that stared back in the mirror was nothing like the girl she had been a year ago. Her skin was pallid, eyes sunken in with dark circles from sleepless nights. The blue hair that had once framed her face was dull and stringy. Her clothes that had once fit her hung off her skinny frame.
"Ami," The soft and concerned voice of a man said on the other side of the door. "You've been in there an hour. Are you alright?"
"Hai." Ami said as she opened the door to reveal the sight of a blonde-haired man staring at her with sad and concerned eyes.
He stood awkwardly in front of her. "I fed Shuichi already. Are you sure you're up to this."
Ami nodded as she turned and left. Not really caring that she would be late to school.
Kino Makoto felt the sweat run into her eyes as she beat on the punching bag in front of her. Many of the patrons knew to stay away from her. Ever since she had put a couple of men in the hospital last year she had not been bothered from anyone when she came to the gym every morning.
She would have been banned if the owner hadn't taken a liking to her. She had hated those twinkling eyes and easy smile that he had given her. Not only did it bring up memories she would rather forget but she couldn't forgive what had been done to her.
She would have went to a different gym but he had been persistent and offered her a free membership. She was loathe to admit it, but it was too good a deal to pass up. After all, she didn't have much from being an orphan.
Punching and kicking something everyday let her release all of the pent up guilt, anger and sadness that she had inside her ever since the one person who had actually befriended her despite her reputation had died. Usagi had been her savior. She brought light and life back to her. Making her want to be a better person.
Nothing had seemed to go right for Makoto that day and Usagi showing up late had made her frustrations come to the forefront. She should have stuck up for her Princess and friend when she and the others had came down on her. It hadn't been the other girl's fault she had been hurt. It came with her duty as Senshi and Protector.
Now she would never see that smile that she had looked forward to everyday and had filled her heart with such joy.
"Makoto." The handsome brunette owner held out a towel as he stared at her with brown eyes that if she admitted to herself, she could drown in.
Makoto glanced at the clock and realized that she was about to be late. Without a word of thanks she snatched the towel and rushed to change.
Aino Minako sighed as she stared at the ceiling in her room. She had not felt the need to much these days. The once cheerful blonde with dreams of being a music superstar had turned into herself.
She rarely left her room except to go to school and the rare outings to be with the others. Though the group weren't as close as they had once been. Without Usagi, it all just seemed... pointless.
A knock on her door had Mina looking at the door without moving the rest of her body as a gorgeously handsome man wearing a police uniform entered her room. They stared at each other in silence for what seemed like eternity before he moved.
He sat down on the bed and hugged Mina to him, placing a soft kiss on top of her head. "You need to realize that it was not your fault."
Mina pulled away violently as she picked up a glass next to her bed and threw it at the wall. The man did not flinch as he stood silent as the blonde raged and threw more stuff around. A book hit him in the chest at one point.
"This is your fault!" She screeched as she pounded on his chest. "If you hadn't betrayed us in the first place none of this would have happened! She would be here now. It's your fault!"
"I know." Kunzite said softly as Mina stopped hitting him and cried. He wrapped his arms around her and repeated his apology over and over.
"I need to get ready." Mina sniffed as she pulled away and rubbed her sleeve over her nose in an unladylike gesture.
"I came by to pick you up." Kunzite said simply. Mina nodded as she kissed him quickly and promptly pushed him out the door.
Chiba Mamoru sat in his darkened apartment even though it was daylight out. He held a picture in his hands as he traced it with his finger from the one ray of sunlight that filtered in through a small gap in his curtains.
He withdrew from everyone after that night. He quit school and only ventured out to get groceries. Some of his classmates had tried to snap him out of it but they had soon stopped when he was unresponsive to their knocks on his door. A few women had tried to flirt with him when he went out but he ignored them as though they didn't exist.
He had lost the one person in the world that meant the most to him. The one person that he had once died for and would die for over and over. But she was gone and it had been his fault. He was the one that should have protected her. The one that should have been with her when she was being hurt.
He should have felt it. He had been so focused on the pink-haired girl that he had lost sight of his sole purpose. And that was to always be there for Usagi, to always keep her from harm.
Looking back, the tugging he had felt in his heart had been because she had needed him and he had failed her. It wasn't because he was concerned about the others or the building anger that she was late. Nor, was it because a little girl had also been hurt.
"Please, forgive me." Mamoru pleaded to the picture. "I need you so much."
But a picture could not answer him or give him the forgiveness that he asked for.

That will be the end of chapter one. Kinda disappointing I know, but it took me forever to try and come up with something. Hopefully the next chapter will be better. In case it wasn't understood; Phi Tyler is Tsukino Usagi. I thought about naming her Serena, her American name but that wouldn't go with the theme of the names of her siblings. So hopefully it won't be too confusing.
