Raye was tired. She had come to the ski resort to get away from it all. To try and clear her head of everyone she had on her mind; Darien, Mina, Amy, all of them lost. It had been lucky that her grandfather's protege, Chad, had a lodge at the resort. But still probably thinking subconsciously about Serena, she had entered the resort's annual "Miss Moon Princess" competition. That had not gone well at all. An avalanche had injured or killed many of the contestants and landed her in a pit with Chad. If he was unconscious or out of her line of sight, she could use her powers to melt her way out. /ememSuddenly, a figure appeared at the top of the cliff. It was last year's winner, Miranda "Stormy" Kincaid.

"Stormy, you came.", Raye cried out hopefully. But instead of answering, the woman jumped with an inhuman strength and turned into a monster mid-jump.

"Oh please, honey. Just call me Blizzard.", the monster replied, before she froze Chad in a block of solid ice. Then Stormy - Blizzard - turned to face her. But with Chad incapacitated, she had an opening to transform. Her opponent barely gave her time to pull out her power pen before freezing her too.

"In the circus tent at the centre of Sector 3, Queen Nehelenia was worried. She had managed to hold this power for at 8 months. She had come to Earth to gather more dream mirrors to increase her power and prolong her life. Initially, she had been trapped in a mirror dimension, the prison made for her by Queen Serenity over 1000 years ago. Her minions, led by an avatar named Zirconia had set up a circus tent in this city.

"Within a few days, Zirconia and his minions had found the Golden Dream Mirror, which was vital to freeing her. The host it had chosen now lay on the wheel a regular circus would use for a knife throwing act. One of her friends had tried to free her, but had failed and become one of the Queen's Remless drones. These were beings that had been relieved of their dream mirror and had it consumed by the Queen. Nehelenia only consumed them to preserve her life for centuries, but she had found a use for these mindless beasts. Once she had created enough, she would take over not only this miserable city from her rivals, but the cities known as London and New York, both major hubs on this planet. But first, she had to deal with the prisoner.

"She had always wondered when her life had really gone wrong. Had it been when her parents died in that fateful crash? Or had it been when she was expelled for what was perceived as bullying? Regardless of what it actually was, this was her life now. She wasn't merely Lita Kino anymore. Now she was Sailor Jupiter, Guardian of thunder and courage. Now she was trying to free this city from those that would cause it harm. But it hadn't been easy. They'd lost both Mars and Venus since the fight had began. Then they got help from two new Sailor Scouts; Uranus and Neptune. Then Neptune had also disappeared trying to take out the enemy known as the Sovereign of Silence. Then Venus had returned, having previously faked her death to ascertain information.

"Then the third enemy showed up and Sailor Moon had been kidnapped. Finally, Venus, or as they knew her, Mina, hadn't been seen since she tried to rescue Serena (Sailor Moon). All this was over a year ago. Now, the few remnants of free will in Tokyo had gathered into a fighting force, dedicated to ridding the city of its 3 conquerors. Lita was about to head off on a mission into Sector 1, controlled by the forces of the Nega-verse. But before her team could go, Alpha team had returned from patrol in that Sector, bringing with them what looked like a smaller version of Serena.

At a glance, it was all so strange. Mere minutes ago, the Small Lady had left behind a fairly stable city where many had simply took little notice of her. Now, the entire district was very dystopian and the people looked upon her with shock. At first, she had assumed they were just grateful to see one of the Senshi after months of living in an overcrowded ghetto. But this level of shock indicated something she had only just considered.

"A parallel world," Chibi-Usa said to herself. No-one but the man escorting her noticed what she said. "Like my Earth, but with different events to the one I know."

"I don't know what you're talking about, kid." The soldier said to her "but this is the only earth I know of."

"Who are you?" Asked the little girl.

"Someone who thought you'd be some help. But so far, most of what you've said doesn't make any apparent sense. I'm going to take you to meet the commandant. Perhaps she can find some explanation for who you are."

Sailor Chibi-Moon was instantly worried. Who could this commandant possibly be? The man led her into into the OSA.P jewellery shop (or what was left of it). He walked into a room, that the little girl correctly guessed belonged to the commandant.

"Sorry to disturb you, princess," said the soldier "but we've found a straggler in Metalia's Sector. Breaking curfew."

"Interesting" replied the figure, who stepped out of the shadows. When she was in full view, Chibi-Usa was shocked.

"Ami, its you!" But Mercury only replied "I'm sorry to disappoint you. You seem to have made a mistake. My name isn't Ami. And I've never seen you before in my life."
