Act Four – Dead Moon pt 1

The three girls sat down on Minako's couch looking at their feet. Of course they were to be interrogated, they had to be. Minako looked on at them curiously whilst Kunzite just looked serious. Usagi was interesting, she looked at them with a mixture of care and worry coupled with a sprinkling of anger. Haru chose to focus on Usagi finding the variety of emotions displayed on her face captivating.

"So, where are you guys going to start from?" Minako asked. Izumi looked at Ayaka and then at Haru.

"We're still unclear about our origins, we thought you guys might be able to help" Izumi said steadily. Kunzite nodded but then folded his arms.

"I think we were once bad" Haru said sadly looking directly at Usagi. Usagi didn't flinch and kept her own eyes focussed on Haru.

"You are not originally from Earth are you? Or at least, not your past self" Usagi said smoothly hitting the nail on the head. Minako and Kunzite's eyes were wide opened now wondering how the hell Usagi would know this.

"I think we served a bad Queen in the past" Izumi added looking away. Now this made Kunzite narrow his eyes at the girls.

"Queen Nehellenia of the Dead Moon" Ayaka finally said. Minako instantly went on the defensive whilst Kunzite was relieved it wasn't Queen Beryl. Usagi closed her eyes and sighed.

"You did serve a bad Queen then" Usagi said getting up and placing a hand on her forehead.

"Usagi…." Minako said reaching out to her Princess, just for a split second she thought Usagi was going to faint.

"You don't remember what happened to you guys do you?" Usagi asked looking back at Haru. Haru shook her head.

"I think we were sent on a mission, I had a dream or a vision maybe of someone holding me by the collar ready to kill me, blue eyes, black hair tied at the back with a long ponytail, black boots and there was a silver haired one holding Izumi by the neck, the vision stopped them when I saw Ayaka dead on the ground" Haru said not wanting to look at Izumi or Ayaka.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Izumi asked.

"It was horrible and I only saw it last night" Haru defended. Ayaka closed her eyes trying to see if she could envision the same thing Haru saw, she saw a woman with reddish brown hair or was her hair orange?

"We were sent somewhere to cause problems" Ayaka ventured. Haru nodded and then looked at Izumi who was also caught in a trance.

"We were sent to kill a Princess" Izumi said.

"But not the Moon Princess, we were sent to a different planet" Ayaka added.

"That's all I know at the moment" Haru said looking at Usagi again. Usagi's brows were furrowed, this all happened away from the Moon Kingdom so her knowledge of other planets was limited at best outside the main ones she knew. The description of a black haired person was bugging her now and a princess?

"There were other princesses around the same time as Princess Serenity although not to her level of power" Kunzite said looking at Minako.

"Hmmm, this is interesting. Our friends are brainwashed and now we have these girls reborn from the Dead Moon Kingdom, I am willing to bet our new enemy is from the same place maybe, this doesn't smell like Chaos though for some reason" Minako said looking at Usagi who was still deep in thought.

"I agree, I think there might be others reborn like us" Haru said mysteriously "Although not the Queen, she is long dead and will probably stay dead" Haru added.

Away from their conversation, located in another dimension shrouded in mist stood a tall handsome man. He had long silver hair and brownish red coloured eyes. He wore a long light blue coat and black tight trousers with black boots. He held his sword at his hip whilst walking backwards and forwards. So those three girls were back, good, he would dispose of them, the little brats. He remembered them when he was nothing more than an advisor to the Queen of the Dead Moon. Now he wasn't the last of his people but he soon would be, he would get rid of those useless girls. Their deaths had long been expected, they weren't true to their Queen's cause, they still held a light in them so their deaths were welcomed if anything.

"Master Painite, we're ready for our next attack" Arata the man formerly known as Nephrite said. Painite smirked and then spun around looking into the vacant eyes of Arata, their souls had been so easy to locate, hovering around searching for their Princess and Prince. It was laughable.

"Good, kill those three girls and bring me the Princess. Capture Venus and Kunzite and then we can really begin with the transformation of Earth" Painite said.

Black hotpants, that image replaying in her mind over and over again as she tried to think why it bothered her so much. Usagi had decided to take the girls out without Minako or Kunzite. Usagi needed time away from them and she felt like hanging with these girls would ease her mind. Usagi couldn't bring herself to face her guardian, had she become such a burden to them? She cared so much for Minako and had become dependent on her emotionally. Kunzite brought them all stability but still, she felt like nothing but trouble for them.

"What are you guys going to do with us?" Ayaka asked stopping in front of Usagi. Usagi looked at Ayaka and noticed something; she noticed Ayaka, Izumi and Haru were worried, unsure and anxious.

"I don't know….what I do know is that you're not our enemy, you just used to work for them a long time ago and by the sounds of it, it didn't turn out well" Usagi said. Haru shook her head and placed a hand over her forehead. More images of that Princess, looking down disdainfully at them, almost disgusted because of what Haru had almost achieved, the bad she had almost committed. Then those angry blue eyes and that fist, ready to smash into her face. She knew she had died on whatever planet that was. Usagi watched Haru, watched the different emotions play on her face.

"I am sorry about all of this; if you guys hadn't met me then maybe you wouldn't be having such painful memories. That's what happens to people who stay too long around me" Usagi said forlornly thinking about Mamoru and her friends. She didn't want anything bad to happen to Minako or Kunzite. They had both given up having normal lives with each other to protect her. What kind of princess was she if she couldn't fulfil her friends' wishes, to give them their dreams? She was so pathetic!

"You have your own battles" Izumi said knowingly. Usagi looked up at Izumi and plastered a smile on her face. "I have always had battles Izumi and I always will, it is my destiny, all I want ….all I have ever wanted was to see my friends happy, now I see what it will cost" Usagi said mysteriously. Haru didn't like the tone of her voice or her words, it held so much sadness.

"First things first, we must free the rest of the Senshi and Shitennou, then we will look after you three and bring about some sort of peace" Usagi said smiling down at the girls. Izumi, Ayaka and Haru looked at each other and nodded. Unbeknownst to Usagi, the girls had already made a pact with each other.

Arata checked the area with Fumio and Ami. The park was empty as they had cleared out the space. Fumio Makoto and Rei then both appeared holding a young couple. Forcing them to bend down on their knees Jun'ichi appeared in front of them. He then bowed down in front of the young woman and looked straight into her eyes.

"Now, I want you to scream, scream real loud. Do not disappoint me" Jun'ichi said smirking.

"This is a report by Abe Yuriko, reporting a disturbance in the local Juuban park. A young couple are being held by individuals that have now been identified. Those who have been thought to have been missing are now here and they have dark powers. Hino Rei, Kino Makot, Hishira Jun'ichi, Himi Fumio and Mizuno Ami are calling for Sailor Venus, a Kunzite and Sailor Moon to appear. Now we understood that the Sailor Senshi had perished all those years ago but now it is believed that Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus are very much still here. We have been searching for them for a long time and now it appears we will see them again".

Minako shook her head in anger. How could this happen?! Did they not understand what this could mean for their own futures? Once they were no longer brainwashed, what was there for them to return to? Kunzite had remained silent; he already knew the implications as he saw his own comrades named by their civilian names. This just got a whole lot more complicated. They had just damned their own futures as normal people.

Hi Guys

Thought to add this now - Part two will be up later on. Thank you to all those following, favourite and reviewing :-)

Flareup4Ratchet: Minako, Kunzite and Usagi are still getting over what happened, I think it affected Usagi a lot more as she really loves all her friends and is just finding everything difficult. Usagi/Serenity is my all time favourite anime character so I love writing about her, I particularly prefer her in the manga version however :-)

Your advice helped me with the crossover I am doing, I really appreciated it - Yes I can imagine Sesshomaru and Usagi are going to be interesting together but some of my favourite fanfics are with this pairing and I love it :-)

I think Sesshomaru and Usagi would eventually outrank the wolf prince and princess but I don't know if that's going to be shown in the story I am doing. I only make mention of them, the story focuses mainly on Sesshomaru and Usagi and their lives in an AU world and the complications of it. I am only just discovering how deep the story is going to be...

I will be part two later today so have a great a great day guys :-)
