Chapter Two
There was once a young girl born of the moon.
Her hair was silver, eyes piercing blue.
She had many friends, all of them princesses,
who vowed to protect her till death.
She would stare from her room every night at the Earth
and wonder what lay there.
A planet of blue unlike the moon
beckoning for her to come.
The voyage between the moon and the Earth
was strictly forbidden.
Despite this fact the girl would sneak out
to the palace's hidden carriage.
The carriage was not of a normal type,
as it did not travel on land.
It was a glass tube meant for one sole use.
To unite the Moon and the Earth.
The young girl snuck out every night from her room,
to see the beauty of Earth.
She found herself every time that she left
in the gardens of Elysium.
Rapidly she was captured by the beauty
and continued to sneak out,
to bask in the light of the heavenly gardens
of the wonderful Earth.
One day while on Earth in Elysium
she spotted a handsome man.
Curious as she was to pursue,
she hid inside a bush.
Much to her distraught it was full of thorns,
as it was a bush of red rose.
The man heard her yelp, and came to help
the poor injured princess.
Her cover was blown she'd be killed for sure,
as well as start a war,
as anyone to go between Moon and Earth
would break the ancient code.
The man helped her out of the bush,
the princess was scared that he may attack.
To her surprise he did not say a word besides introducing himself.
His name was Endymion, prince of the Earth
which shocked her even more.
To think she may be
in the hands of
currently,
her greatest enemy.
The voice stopped singing and the vision faded away. Usagi was frightened yet curious. She had no clue where she was or what was happening.
She seemed to be falling, falling, falling, slowly down a never ending pit of darkness, her hair floating above her head. She felt different though... "Why?" she wondered. Who was she exactly? She was three different people with one body. All looked the same and had slightly different personalities, or so she thought. Was she herself, Tsukino Usagi? The ditzy girl, that cry baby who failed at everything and could never be on time, but with a bucket full of friends and family? Or, was she Sailor Moon, champion of justice, brave against evil, with the Senshi and Tuxedo Mask by her side? Or, was she Princess Serenity? Her original form from her past life, who she would occasionally become when her own power was not strong enough. Maybe that was it. Maybe she was just one person with a different name for each range of power she possessed.
As she continued to drift downwards, she wondered when she would reach the bottom as she had been falling for a very long time now.
At that moment, she stopped falling and remained floating, as if suspended by a million silk strings. She saw a light, a warm white and golden light forming directly above her. Perhaps a metre or two away from her face?
The light slowly transformed, or rather, molded into the shape of a most beautiful woman. Usagi felt she recognized her, but could not recall enough information from her mind to know from where. She looked to be around Usagi's age though. The illuminated woman held her hand out to Usagi. She tried to touch her hand, but was too far away to reach out to her. Usagi lifted her arm to reach the woman's outstretched hand but her hand went right through. Usagi recoiled her hand in fear. Who was this, and what they want with her?
"Do not be frightened by me! We are one in the same. It is I, Neo Queen Serenity from the Future. The time is coming quickly now. Soon, you will have to face many great challenges greater than those you have faced ever before. There is a great force coming, and when they do come, you must strike at the earliest chance possible. Is that clear?"
"But isn't this just a dream?" She inquired hazily. "I know it must be coming soon, but this is just a dream. Aren't you not allowed to tell us of what is to come? As Sailor Pluto said, it would throw off the space-time continuum. Time would be rewritten, the future would change. Your information can't be real because you wouldn't be able to tell me otherwise."
"No, you must trust me, or rather yourself. I am very much so real, even though I may simply in your mind. The crystal will only let me speak to you through this method for so long, so you must listen to me when I say this, for you will need to use my exact words someday in the future. I am giving you this crucial information just as it was given to me. There will be an uprising, though I cannot say who is involved. It will commence as something small. It did not seem to us as anything that needed paying attention to, that is, until things started getting very bad. The Earth was on the verge of destruction. It will be like no other battle you have faced. Do not be so quick to trust those who may seem to be friends. You must use your instincts and listen to whatever advice your loved ones give you. It will be your secret weapon and strength that will give you the power to persevere. I am sorry that I cannot be of much help to you, but remember my words. Crystal Tokyo is closer than you may think."
"But how am I supposed to save the whole Earth if I've had difficulties with saving just the greater Tokyo area? I vaguely remember something about cleansing the Earth of evil with the crystal. Where am I going to get the power to even purify the rest of Asia? Just using it to wipe out one strong villain will wipe me out completely!"
"Do not fear, you will find a way. If not, how would I be speaking to you? I would not exist. I can promise you that. You must find a way once the time comes and you will. I can assure you of that. Just believe in yourself and the others, do not doubt your abilities, and do not stop fighting for a peaceful Earth until you have been completely drained of all power. Above all else, never lose hope, no matter how dark the situation may seem."
And with that she started to fade and Usagi resumed her fall, picking up speed. She tried to yell out one last question to her future self, but no noise would escape her mouth. So instead she reached out to her, as if sending a silent message.
"Good luck!" she said extending out her own hand. She was however, too far still to reach, and with that her light went out. Usagi was now falling in the dark, the cold uncertain dark, falling into a never ending pit of darkness. Impossible as it may seem, the black faded to black once again, as Usagi drifted and closed her eyes.
