Destiny's Hold: Season 6…the lost season

© 2003-2005 By Stacey Padjune (Serena CrystalMoon)

Disclaimer: Sadly enough, I do not own Sailor Moon or any of the other characters; I just manipulate them...

Riza Hawkeye: I'm very sorry for how long this is! I just wanted to say that before I started my response to you. I'm very sorry for the miscommunication of the first and third scenes. It hadn't occurred to me that people might not understand them.

Correct, the first scene was a dream sequence, but it was also more than that. Usagi had been dreaming yes, but the dream had been all too real, she had actually seen and felt her future daughters cease of existence. Usagi had a supernatural bond with her future daughter and had felt that bond break, so it wasn't that she took it too real, she was down right heartbroken when she felt the bond with her daughter broken and she awoke from her dream. Until that dream, she hadn't known that bond existed, but it did. In that dream sequence Chibi Usa officially became nothing. Time had been altered too much and new threads of time were already piecing themselves together, without Chibi Usa. I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear.

Yes something is going on with Hotaru. I should've made it more obvious, but I didn't realize to do that when writing it. The scene with Hotaru didn't mention whom she was worrying about, but I had wanted it to be clear. I should've put more facts and hints in. Yes, she was worried about Chibi Usa. As Chibi Usa's best friend, Hotaru developed a sort of sixth sense about Chibi Usa's well being. I was going to show this in some flashbacks later on. Hotaru had become accustomed to sensing Chibi Usa's feeling, even when they were in two different times. Hotaru is the darkest of the senshi yes, but her self-mutilation in the third scene is meant to be her all time low. Usually she would have just become depressed or withdrawn when she felt sadness or anger from Chibi Usa but when she felt fear, pain and then nothing, just a hole where Chibi Usa had once been, she lost it. I apologize to everyone for the unexpectedness of Hotaru's depiction, don't worry there won't be any other low points like that for her.

Yes, the Sailor Senshi will be dealing with the police force soon, they may not make it into the next chapter but they will soon. They haven't become actually involved with the senshi yet, they will soon though. Hope you like the new chapter!

Trp0522: I'm very glad that you liked my last chapter! Your complements made my day, which had been quite miserable until I read them. I only showed the concerns of six of the eleven characters so far because nothing major has happened to the others to alert them or concern them. As they begin to notice changes in themselves or others the senshi will have scenes showing their concern and how they deal with it.

Usagi's nightmares of losing Chibi Usa, were that but they were also more, as I wrote to Riza Hawkeye above, the nightmare was her subconscious dealing with the actual loss that she felt when Chibi Usa was lost to the alteration of time.

Minako, who yes is a minor, is well known for her movies as Sailor V. In this story her family, who are also movie stars, live in England, as did she before she discovered that she was Sailor Venus and moved to Tokyo to help the other senshi. To the public she is teenage Aino Minako, a rich movie star from England that moved to Tokyo to be closer to her manager and to actually live in the city where her movies are most loved. So Minako lives alone, with Artemis, in the upper-class part of Tokyo in the top floor of an apartment building, which she owns. That was going to be in a scene later among other things, but I figured it wouldn't harm anything explaining her living arrangements now rather than later. Makoto, in this story, realized awhile ago that it was too dangerous to have a roommate so she now lives on her own. Other than that all the living arrangements should still be the same. Mamoru lives in an apartment. Usagi lives with her family. Ami lives with her ever absent mother. Rei lives at the Jinja. The four outers are staying in a newly bought house close to Usagi's rather than in their house, which is about an hour and a half away from the other senshi.

Foreshadowing of upcoming powers, yes I've been working on that and the senshi will have new powers but it may take a while for them to develop. Their original powes are becoming more and more advanced until then, letting the senshi alter their gifts at will. You'll see what I mean soon.


Chapter 8: Daily Interruptions


She held onto the picture frame, her fingers clasped over it in a death grip, the shear coldness of the frame itself numbing her fingers before the tension in her limbs could. She could feel the immortal ice's coldness reaching her arms. It had been such a wonderful gift, a picture frame of pale blue, shiny and metallic, delicate yet indestructible, powerful as could be and made of ice from the depths of Mercury that would never melt. Her friend had given it to her for her birthday back when they were young children and since then she had always revered it as one of her most prized possessions. Princess Ami of Mercury had always been her closest friend, even compared to her other sisters-in-arms, Ami had always been more of an actual sister to her. She held tightly to the frame, tears flowing down from her eyes as she stared at the picture in the frame. Her tears of translucent pale pink fell from her face and splattered onto the frame, each pale pink puddle sparkled with bright green electric current, as did all her tears, before the coldness of the surface froze them. The frame held a picture, a picture most dear to her. A woman smiled within the photograph, her jet black hair falling down to her shoulders and her purple eyes filled with mirth as she giggled at something while the picture was being taken. Her skin was beautiful, a pale milky colors that contrasted greatly with her pure black silky hair. She wore a princess gown, like all of them must wear in public, its color was a dark and silky purple with a metallic sheen to it. She was absolutely gorgeous, mystical and striking Saturn's Princess captivated the heart of the Princess of Jupiter. She sighed as she stared at the picture, the girl's melodic giggles ricocheting through her mind.

Makoto awoke from her strange dream with a tear stained pillow and hands as cold as ice. Her mind played the dream over and over in her head. It must've been a memory from the Silver Millennium. A strange memory, she scratched her head thoughtfully, a very strange memory. She sighed and got out of bed, quickly dressing and grabbing a bite to eat from a bakery she headed to the gym down the street for her everyday practice ritual.


Artemis trotted through the apartment after just coming back from a late night and early morning outing with Luna. I'm surprised we didn't find any youma activity… he thought to himself about the patrol him and Luna had been on, his paws padding slightly on the shiny wooden hallway as he made his way through the house looking for his charge. Not in the living room, not in the bed room, or the kitchen or the dining room- he told him self, thinking of where to look next when he suddenly stopped. His breath caught, "No way…" he breathed as his eyes landed on the slightly opened door to the training room. "She must've been really bored." He said lightly, making his way to the door and into the room. "MINA-chan!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, "What in the NAME of the GODS happened in HERE?" he shouted in a frenzy his little body shaking uncontrollably as he looked around at the destroyed cinderblock cement wall, the hole in the wall now opened to the entire city, the almost dead punching bag and the broken and battered exercise equipment laying around the room along with empty food containers and bags littered across the room, his eyes boring holes into the sweaty senshi of love who sat carelessly in front of him guzzling ice water from a bottle before emptying it all and dropping into a pile next to her of ten other empty water bottles.

"I'm not sure," she told the fuming cat thoughtfully, "I was bored last night and had nothing to do. I decided to exercise and practice my attacks a bit, and well…" she trailed off, surprised by the cat's expression as he looked into her eyes. "What?" she asked curiously.

"You've been going at it since last night and you're already very late for school and you don't seem to care. There are civilians outside gawking up into the hole you blew out of the wall. Plus you did all of this, ate all of that," he said pointing a paw in the direction of the food containers scattered about the room, "and drank all of these," he continued, pointing this time at the pile of empty water bottles before going on "by yourself? You decimated the attack wall and broke every piece of equipment in the room while practicing and exercising because you were bored and you're not lying on the floor dead yet?" he asked her skeptically.

"Yes…" she answered, nodding her head and wondering what he was getting at.

Surprised that she didn't seem to be lying and he could come up with no other explanation to the chaos of the room he made a choice. "Senshi meeting here in one hour. No ifs, ands, or buts. You will contact the senshi now to let them know. " He told his charge before exiting the room silently.

"School." Minako replied, "the girls are at school and…"

"Right now, this is more important than a few assignments." The cat barked, surprising the senshi of love. "You will contact them NOW!" and without another word he was out of the room and down the hall. Sighing Minako exited the room and walked to her bedroom. Lifting her arm and flipping her communicator wristwatch open she pushed the all-call button sending out a transmission to all of the senshi at the same time.


Makoto huffed long deep breaths as she ran from the gym she'd been exercising at to her school, barely making it there before the late bell rang.

"Mako-chan, you're late!" Ami exclaimed, after watching Mokoto run through the classroom door apologize to her teacher then make her way to her seat which was next to her and Usagi at the same table. With four chairs to a table Ami, Usagi and Makoto sat alone with an empty chair, a tight-knit trio.

"Hey Mako-chan!" Usagi cheerily welcomed her friend. Ami sat shocked by her friend who was usually on time if not early…well not as early as her, but who was also never as late as Usagi but at the moment even later, for Usagi had already gotten to class this morning and without receiving detention.

"Yeah," the Amazoness groaned wiping the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand as she slumped down tiredly into her chair. "Hey Usagi, Ami." She greeted her friends before continuing. "I don't know what's up with me, you guys! I nearly killed my self this morning. Well, not really, but what I did today would've killed me a year ago and I did so much over my usual today. Usually I know my limits but today I couldn't stop…I think I killed four punching bags! Luna's going to blow a gasket when she finds out, we're supposed to be keeping a low profile ya know? I mean, I ended up with an audience and I didn't even know it!"

"Kino-san!" came the sharp voice of the girl's teacher, stopping Makoto from continuing. "Kindly keep your conversations out of class time, Kino-san, Mizuno-san. Tsukino-san"

"Hai gomen-ne, Yekouzi-sensei." The girls replied in unison before they turned to their teacher for the start of the lesson.


Rei glared at the bench press she just lifted herself off of, she was in gym class in the weight room and this darn piece of equipment seemed to be broken. Already the thing was on one hundred pounds, but it seemed like there was no weight at all when she'd lifted it. Sighing she took the pin from where it was just under one hundred pounds and put it under the three hundred mark. Closing her eyes the raven-haired girl laid back down and began pumping the handles up and down, why does this only seem like thirty pounds? She wondered silently, becoming oblivious to her surroundings as she continued her work out, not even realizing the small audience she'd acquired. The class lasted a full hour but about a half hour into the class's allotted time a beeping filled the air. Rei bolted up into a sitting position at the sound of her communicator going off noticing first the gaggle of about twenty girls surrounding her staring at her easily holding the handles to the machine aloft with three hundred pounds weighing them down and then second her teacher who was already up and scouring the room for the culprit of the disturbance, ready to issue a detention for possession of a cell phone on school grounds. With a loud bang, the weights of the machine Rei had been using came crashing down to the floor as she let the handles go. Already on her feet and at the door she shouted an apology to her teacher before speeding to her locker, grabbing her stuff answering the call from Minako on her communicator and vanishing from school grounds like a shot from a gun.
Michiru jumped when two shrill sets of beeps interrupted her tender hug with Haruka. They were standing in a beautifully tiled aquamarine shower with warm clear water poring down on them from the showerhead above. Their arms were around each other in a tight but gentle embrace and their lips had been pressed together in a feather light kiss. It had been so long since they'd had a moment to them selves where they could just be two lovers enjoying some intimate time to themselves.

Haruka's eyes narrowed at the communicator on her wrist before untangling herself from Michiru's embrace. Both girls answered their calls, the beeps finally stopped. Haruka fixed her eyes onto Minako's smiling face through the mini screen, "This had better be good." She told the bubbly blonde aggravatedly. Minako blushed as she realized that both Michiru and Haruka were in the shower together. After apologizing profusely to the pissed off senshi of Uranus, her face turned a darker shade of pink all the while, she babbled on about the immediate senshi meeting at her place before closing the connection with an embarrassed goodbye.

Michiru and Haruka laughed as they opened the sky blue sliding glass door, toweled off, dressed. Walking down into the foyer they were met with Hotaru and Setsuna sitting on the couch, each with their jackets on and obviously waiting for the two lovers. "Minako's?" Haruka guessed looking to the two senshi on the couch.

"How could you tell?" Setsuna quipped before the four outer senshi left for Minako's.


Three pairs of eyes flew open and locked with each other. Their teacher hadn't gotten ten minutes into their lesson and now this. Every student was now eyeing the three girls at the table and Yekouzi-sensei was already marching out from behind her desk and back towards their table, her eyes smoldering with anger from another distraction from them. It's always something, She ground out in her mind, if it's not tardiness it's talking and if it's not that it's some other disruption!

Their communicator's still going off, sounding with loud shrill beeps, the girl's looked at each other silently asking each other what should be done. "We can't necessarily explain this…and soon if we don't answer then whoever's calling us will be heard by everyone through our emergency speaker!" Ami worried for the group, taking in a deep breath.

Screams suddenly filled the air mixing with the shrill beeps of the girls' communicator's as a ninja-like youma appeared out of thin air, scanning the room before turning it's blazing red eyes onto the angered teacher that had stopped her ascent to the girls. It's body was lithe but sturdy and strong, whatever it was seemed to be of feminine origin but no features were noticeable except for it's eyes and what little amount of metallic green flesh could be around them for it's body was covered in a leather body suit with a black cloth headdress. "I will have your energy!" the youma shrieked at Yekouzi-sensei, frightening the class even more and sending the class into a frenzy as the students began screaming and running for the door, making their way out of the classroom and out of the school all together.

Makoto took the initiative, standing abruptly from her seat and looking to her princess then to the senshi of ice. "We need to answer this call. It's not about this youma though, no one would've known ahead of time to warn us. What do we do?" she asked quickly.

Looking through the empty room to where the ninja-like youma was grabbing at their teacher, missing twice before being kicked by her. Roaring in fury the youma whipped her hand out catching the teacher off guard and straight in the head. Falling to the floor the teacher lay limp. "Transform!" Ami said quickly earning a nod from both of the girls as they retrieved their transformation pens from their subspace pockets.

"MERCURY STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"

"JUPITER STAR POWER, MAKE UP!"

"MOON ETERNAL POWER, MAKE UP!"

Bright lights emanated from each body; Blue from Ami, Green from Makoto and Pink from Usagi. When the lights faded the girls stood as Sailor Senshi. Quickly answering their calls they stayed away from the glowing youma, which for the moment was too busy to notice them as it glowed red, sucking the energy from their teacher. After hearing of the immediate call for a senshi-meeting at Minako's they nodded and Minako faded out without another word. The three girl's stood looking to each other for idea's.

"You two go to Minako-chan's, I'll stay here and take care of the youma." Sailor Jupiter told Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury.

"No, I'm not leaving you here alone. This…thing… doesn't seem to be a youma, or at least not like the one we fought last time. I think this ninja is higher up than that youma we fought and is probably much stronger and dangerous." Mercury responded in a no-nonsense tone, "I'm staying too, it took a lot to finish that one that got me, and you here alone without backup is unsafe. Sailor Moon you go to Minako-chan's and let everyone know we'll be there as soon as we can." Seeing the annoyed and saddened look on her princess's face the senshi of ice continued, "No Sailor Moon, there's no reason for you to stay her and be put in danger. Jupiter and I will be fine. Now go!"

"Fine, fine, fine…" the blonde mumbled knowing there was no sense in arguing. Walking over to the window she opened it and climbed out on to grass and leapt up to the top of the school dashing over the city to Minako's.

"Freeze dirtbag!" Jupiter yelled at the youma before it could get much energy out of their teacher, her voice echoing a bit. No time was wasted as Sailor Mercury called forth her powers, charging a ball of blue energy in her hand then releasing it, bellowing out her attack phase. "SHABON SPRAY!" Ice blue bubbles flew from her hands at the command blanketing the classroom in a condensed frozen fog.

"Huh?" the ninja eloquently voiced her surprise as she lifted her head to see the two warriors standing just inside the doorway before her vision was fully impaired. "Senshi." She growled, tightening her grip on Yekouzi-sensei's neck, the handle with which he was holding her aloft.

Taking advantage of Mercury's fog, Jupiter sprang to action. "SUPREME THUNDER!" she yelled, sending a bolt of electricity straight for the youma's heart.

Sensing the impending attack, the ninja dodged to the right landing on the ground in a roll before quickly hopping to her feet just before the attack went crashing into the classroom wall knocking huge chunks of cement to the floor. Throwing the limp teacher in it's arms to the ground the ninja snarled. Flaring out her senses she her brainwaves about Sailor Jupiter's head squeezing the senshi's consciousness to a point of extreme pain causing her to scream in agony, as she stood unable to move.

"Jupiter!" the senshi of ice yelled at the sound of her friend's painful screams, "SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!" she shouted, issuing a geyser of ice at the ninja.

Jumping high into the air the ninja glowed a bright red before floating aloft over the geyser of ice as it pounded into the wall, it's force breaking through it's already weakened state blasting a hole in it and the ice covering the ground outside, the grass that hadn't yet died turning a crystallized light green. "AQUA RHAPSODY!" she yelled in frustration, touching the strings of her ice water harp and shooting deadly accurate streams of ice water. Seconds before impact the streams of ice water froze to elongated pointed shards of ice. The ninja dodged matrix-style but was still hit with a few of the shards. Howling in shock and pain the ninja grabbed at the three daggers of ice, pulling them out before throwing them to the ground.

"My turn!" she sneered in malice, her eyes burning red with hatred. Raising her arms high above her head, sphere's of translucent red appeared about her hand, red hot shards of metal danced through the energy glowing deadly as she released the sphere's, each one on a direct path straight for a senshi. The sphere's hit, exploding in a hot mess of lava and metal shards that embedded deep within the skin of the warriors. Screams of pain rent the air and blood flowed from small flesh wounds covering the bodies of the senshi of Jupiter and Mercury. Both girls lay in a heap of sweat and blood, on the brink of unconscious and unable to move.

"Good shall always prevail over evil!" a mysterious male voice told the ninja as it's person appeared within the hole in the wall that led outside. His wardrobe was black and consisted of a suit, cape and top hat. The inside of his cape was a fiery red silk, his top hat was tilted slightly and a Mardi Gras-like mask of pearly white covered the top half of his face, hiding his identity. A blood red rose appeared in his hand with a flick of his wrist, the bright sun from outside glinting off the sharp metal point at the end. Sending the rose sailing at the ninja he threw two more in quick succession before walking into the room. His eyes never left the ninja as he made his way to the two weakened senshi, throwing countless roses at her to keep her on her toes and unable to stop and attack.

"Mercury. Jupiter, you have to get up. You have to attack!" he told the girls, waking them up a bit.

Sailor Mercury's head tilted up toward Tuxedo Kamen's, ready to ask how he'd known they were in trouble, but was hushed by a finger to her lips. "Now's not the time. Can you fight?" He asked her, earning a nod of hesitant confirmation before turning his attention to Sailor Jupiter. "How about you? Are you up for this?" he asked as he threw a multitude of roses in rapid succession at the Jinja. Another nod, this time from Jupiter, and he was helping the girls to their feet. Each of the three entered a fighting stance, ready to square off against the ninja.

Jupiter started the battle off with a command of power "SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE!", her voice rang out strong as she threw a concentrated ball of electricity at the ninja. As she tried to evade the oncoming attack the electricity ball split into four smaller balls, one hitting each of her sides.

Not wasting any time, Mercury stepped forward. "SHABON SPRAY!" she yelled out, issuing another blanket of ice cold fog about the area. Two streaks of red could be seen trailing through the air as Tuxedo Kamen sent two roses hurtling at the ninja, pinning her to the wall.

"SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE!"

"SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!"

Both girls yelled their commands, their voices mixing as they sent their attacks out; the two powers combining into a supercharged assault. Speeding through the air Jupiter's ball of electricity crackled within the hollow encasement of Mercury's ice, a dazzling display of shining blue and bright neon green. The sphere of ice shattered with a hard blow as it hit the ninja full in the stomach, the ice cutting a large circular wound through her clothes and into her flesh immediately beginning to freeze her insides but not before Jupiter's electricity enveloped her, electrocuting her to the point of near unconsciousness.

Fearing she may actually be defeated the ninja uttered a pair of strange syllables of what could only be another language. Above her a portal appeared, void of light, nothing but pitch blackness inside with bright red flames surrounding it. "I'll get you for this, Sailor Brats!" she shrieked at them with what energy she had left before a beam of concentrated red energy shot out from the portal, touching her the energy turned her into a beam of black light and whisked her away from the battle scene and into the portal.

Once the energy beam and the ninja were gone the portal vanished, leaving Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mercury and Tuxedo Kamen standing in a nearly collapsed, completely destroyed classroom. Walking over to where their teacher was lying in a heap in the corner Mercury scanned the woman with her mini computer before looking to Jupiter and Tuxedo Kamen. "She's fine, just unconscious." She told them, "We should drop her off at the hospital before we go to Minako-chan's." With two nods of confirmation Jupiter led them onto the roof top and over the city toward the hospital, going a bit slowing since Tuxedo Kamen was carrying Yekouzi-sensei. After leaving her with the doctors in the emergency room they quickened their pace, hurrying to Minako's for the senshi meeting they were very late for.
