Chapter 1
Senshi?
-DM-
Hogwarts, Infirmary – 1994, the Day of Sirius' Escape
Ariadne Chronos Potter shudders as Hermione activates her time-turner, something within the very depths of her soul resonates with the energy surging through her. She vows to discover what is going on, but right now she has a godfather to save.
-DM-
Drained, that is all Ariadne feels, she saved her godfather, but only just. Breaking him out of the makeshift prison he had been placed in. She looks down at her right hand, clenched in her fist is Hermione time-turner. Something deep within her seems… ill at ease, something within her soul screams at her that this is an aberration that shouldn't exist.
But another part of her soul feels like this power is familiar, then at a whim drawn from the depths of her soul Ariadne pulses her magic into the time-turner. The sand within the turner almost seems to turn into shards of ice and crystal.
Then a shocking screech fills her ears, Ariadne looks up to see a sphere of energy surrounding her. From beyond the sphere a muffled crashing can be heard and then Dumbledore breaks into the room. He seems angry, he start flinging spells at the sphere, but they are completely ignored by the sphere.
A flash of energy flares from the time-turner and it completely crumbles, leaving behind only the shards of ice and crystal. Then she is elsewhere, Ariadne is now in a strange room with many more time-turners and even large collections of the sand… no, not sand the shards. All of the shards start to glow and their containers crumble, unnoticed by Ariadne the multiple Unspeakables in the room flee, except for one who had been holding a time-turner and had been turned to dust.
Another flash… where is she? Ariadne looks around at the wreckage she is standing in. It looks like the remains of a beautiful palace. But where is she, the grey dirt gives little clues as to where she is. Then Ariadne looks up and gasps… hanging in the sky above is the Earth. Her eyes goes wide and she is about to panic. "Calm yourself, Yuki ***," A ethereal voice filled with surprise and joy breaks through her panic.
Ariadne turns to face the source of the voice and fights to stop herself from falling to her knees in reverence. In front of her is a beautiful woman with silver hair and a regal bearing, Ariadne cannot help but think that she is a queen, then she notices the ephemeral butterfly like wings on her back. A Fae? Ariadne finds her voice finally "W-who are y-you?"
The woman smiles at Ariadne "My name is Serenity, it's good to see you again. Yuki"
Ariadne shakes her head slightly "M-my name isn't Yuki, it's Ariadne and I-I've never m-met you before" She wants to trust this woman, but she is scared. Ariadne has only received scorn and hatred from adults, she can't trust them.
Serenity sighs and kneels down so she is eye to eye with Yuki, something she had a bit of trouble with as Serenity is around 6'2" where as Yuki is only 4'4", "Maybe not in this life-time dear, but a very, very long time ago in another life-time I was your godmother. It's good to see you again, but I'm so saddened that the joyful little girl who'd play with my hair and chatter excitably about everything has become so afraid. Why child? What has happened to make you so afraid?"
Ariadne can't help but feel comfort, this woman, Serenity. She makes her feel warm, safe. So hesitantly and with lots of pauses Ariadne tells Serenity about her life. About her Aunt and Uncle who insulted her and treated her as a slave, about the adults and children of the Magical World who only see her as a hero. About the professors that say they trust her and then ignore her words and call her a attention seeking brat. About the monsters she has had to fight and slay in her supposedly safe school.
By the end of it Ariadne is spent and crying in the ethereal arms of Serenity. Serenity gazes up at the Earth with a look of loathing and disgust on her face. Then she lays her head on top of Ariadne's as she falls asleep, exhausted from telling her tale. As Serenity keeps a silent vigil over the sleeping child she mutters apologizes, she'd never meant for any of this. It was out of her control, yet she couldn't help but feel it was her fault.
A couple of hours past and Serenity watches the shards of ice and crystal that had brought Yuki… no, Ariadne to her. There was something familiar about them, something that she felt was on the top of her tongue. Then it hit her, the shards were Yuki's, they were the remnants of her Sailor Seed. Serenity had searched high and low for it during the intermittent years of corporeal existence she had as a ghostly remnant. But the Seed had appeared to have vanished, just as Yuki herself had. Back in the chaos of Beryl's uprising and the subsequent fall of civilization.
Serenity holds out her right hand and the shards begin to reform into their original shape, Ariadne stirs as the last shards of the Seed connect. Ariadne mutters slightly out of it "Pretty" and Serenity has to silently agree with the girl, in her right hand lies a dark green almost black crystal about half the size of the Ginzuishou. It has a solitary feel to it, but one tempered with hope for company and friendship. Ariadne subconsciously reaches for it, the moment her hand touches the Seed it glows brightly and fuses itself into Ariadne's soul. Ariadne is surrounded by glowing energy, Serenity uses her arm to shield her eyes from the bright light emanating from Ariadne, while doing so she backs away as she knows that the first awakening of a Senshi can be volatile.
When the light dies down Ariadne is left standing there in one of the most recognizable uniforms of the Silver Millennium, a Senshi Fuku. However hers is slightly different, instead of the usual short skirt Ariadne's is knee length. But considering the long staff in her hands, that isn't too strange. Like the Senshi of Ceres, Ariadne appears to be a Artillery-Type Senshi. Not very mobile, but capable of unimaginable amounts of devastation from incredible ranges.
Serenity then smiles at Ariadne's shocked face "Well, it looks like the power you never awoke in your last life has caught up with you now. Let me tell you Ariadne of the Silver Millennium…"
Ariadne shocked and surprised quickly scoots closer as Serenity starts talking and almost seems to absorb the story of the Silver Millennium. Serenity must have spent a couple of hours explaining everything about the Silver Millennium. By the end of the story Ariadne had only one question "Is the Princess reincarnated yet?"
Serenity nods slowly, having watched her daughter's reincarnation since the day of her birth. "She's thirteen almost fourteen, but I'm afraid that she'll have to take up the mantle of a Senshi soon"
Ariadne stands filled with a new purpose. "Please, godmother. Tell me where she is? I want to help her with her duty"
Serenity smiles and then steps forwards and hugs Ariadne "Thank you" Serenity summons a small orb of magic in her left hand and pushes it into Ariadne's chest "Here is the knowledge of how to speak Japanese. My Daughter is in Tokyo, I'll send you there. I've got some connections to the current network, what name would you like to go as?"
Ariadne stops for a second and thinks "I want to be called Yuki, Yuki Mugen. That will be my name" As Ariadne says this a surge of magic pulses from her.
In Hogwarts, the grand roster containing all the names of every Hogwarts student currently enrolled, opens up to the page containing Ariadne Chronos Potter and strikes a line through the name. Dumbledore, attracted by the opening of the book, begins to panic because as far as he knew the only reason for a name to be struck from the book is for the bearer of the name to die, after all no one would be willing to change their name, would they?
In Gringotts the Goblin Master Ledger updates Ariadne's name to say Yuki Mugen, it also starts to open the ancient vaults. Vaults that haven't been touched since the fall of the Silver Millennium. The Goblin King Ragnar smiles at this, the ancient Senshi are returning. Perhaps his people would be able to return to their ancestral home, in the mountain on Mars known to the Muggles as Mount Olympus.
In the Phased space where the Timegate stands, Sailor Pluto watches as the future begins to change. She watches as the projected future of Crystal Tokyo is replaced by something grander, something made without sacrifice. A new Silver Millennium, one that would stand as long or even longer than the original. Pluto slowly sits on the misty ground and can't stop the massive grin that covers her face. 'Finally, a future that I can feel proud to work towards'
Serenity smiles at the newly named Yuki Mugen. With but a thought she has her connections create the identity of Yuki Mugen, a homeschooled girl who was weakened by some obscure disease which has finally been cured.
