Chapter One

Two young women ran across the tops of the buildings in Tokyo. Against the bright lights, communing of people and rushing of cars, they ran becoming almost like one with the wind, a blur against everything that was solid and still. If you blinked, you would miss them. Two cats trailed behind them, determination in their eyes as they followed their newly acquired wards.

"Almost there" said one of the young females, dressed in a Sailor Fuku, her ascent colour orange.

"I can still hear the screaming" the other female said, also dressed in a Sailor Fuku with her colours royal blue and red, her long light blonde hair in Odango's. She pumped her arms forward, forgetting the numbing pain in her legs from the night before.

For the last three months, these two young women have been fighting together. It all started because two cats named Luna and Artemis had found the two girls and decided to bring them together. The situation on Earth was worsening since the arrival of the 'Two Queens' as they had been named by Ms Sato, one of Tokyo Japans' successful news reporters. Japan had become a battlefield with the rest of the world fighting off Youma attacks the best they could. It seemed only these two women were capable of actually killing these Youma with less difficulty than a normal human being.

Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus

Their names appeared all over the newspapers, Tokyo's saviours, the world's true defenders, enemies to Queen Beryl and Queen Nehellenia.

Tsukino Usagi and Aino Minako

Their civilian names, no-one knew who they really were. Their identities and their only ties to a normal life outside of all the chaos that surrounded them. Usagi and Minako had both just been normal teenage girls when the Two Queens' arrived, bringing their visions of grandeur and power, seeking the Legendary Silver Crystal and the Earths' Golden Crystal. No-one knew where these items were. There had been a mass panic all over earth. Politicians arranged meetings, separate meetings with the Queens', giving them beautiful gems they assumed to be what was sought, but it was all to no avail. A mad scramble occurred, people fearful, choosing sides, betting on who would win. It was disheartening. And yet, life still carried on. People went to school, went to work and carried on with their family life.

Minako had been the first to be found by Artemis, a smart mouthed white cat with a golden crescent moon symbol on his forehead. Opening up her memories as best he could because some were still sealed away, Aino Minako quickly found herself abandoning most of her teenage dreams and taking on the mantle of Sailor Venus, leader of the Sailor Senshi and protector of the Moon Princess, if she could find them that was. It was through a battle that she was helped by Sailor Moon, meeting of course Luna. That very night Luna had awakened Sailor Moon and even though something didn't feel right to Minako, she still believed Sailor Moon was important.

The two girls formed a solid friendship not just as Senshi, but also in their civilian forms. They knew they didn't have their full memories and both of them were sad over the fact that being normal girls was going to be difficult. But the anguish of earth motivated their hearts to fight a battle they didn't really understand, all in order to protect the innocent and to find the Legendary Silver Crystal. Luna had said it wasn't for them to find the Golden Crystal, she didn't expand much on the reasoning's and Minako thought best to leave it, but just for now.

Venus felt her powers whirling within her and she spotted the Youma who was in the process of zapping a young boys' energy. She narrowed her rich blue eyes on the scene as she summoned her chain. With quick feet, she got into position and launched her chain at the monster, hitting it in the back and forcing it to drop the young boy. Mewling, the monster turned around, its yellow eyes glaring at Venus and Sailor Moon. It had the body of a man and green skin and a long tail. With extended claws, the monster jumped upwards, forgetting the boy and heading straight for the two Senshi.

"NOW!" Venus shouted. Sailor Moon saw her opportunity and, taking off her tiara and powering it up, she slung it at the monster, right in the middle of its chiselled stomach and killed it. The girls nodded at each other and left, leaving the boy running towards his mother.

They kept running atop the buildings until Venus pointed to an alleyway where they could gather their thoughts. Jumping high into the air, the Senshi landed with the click clacking of their heels. Their backs pressed against the walls, avoiding the overflow of the plastic bins, Venus placed a finger to her mouth, silencing Sailor Moon. They waited for a few minutes, making sure no-one else was around. Once Venus was certain, she nodded to Sailor Moon who looked relieved.

"That was easy, not as bad as last night" Venus admitted.

"We faced one of Beryl's servants last night, and we nearly lost" Sailor Moon said, rubbing the back of her neck as she felt her breathing steady. She hated going out and fighting, she was no good at it and she knew it but her heart and mind were one in this simple fact, innocent people were dying and she couldn't stand by and watch.

"My guess is, her servants are off doing something else but creating less noise tonight" Venus surmised. Sailor Moon agreed as she de-transformed, believing they weren't going to fight anymore. Taking que from her friend, Sailor Venus also de-transformed, becoming Aino Minako once more, dressed in plain blue jeans and an orange hooded jacket. Usagi was dressed in quarter lengths and a pink hooded jacket.

"Girls, good work" Luna said as she approached them stealthily with Artemis by her side.

"We need to head back to the control centre, I am sure either Nehellenia's or Beryl's cronies are still out there, causing trouble" Minako stated.

"Why don't you both head back home, we'll go back to the control centre and run a search" Artemis suggested. Both girls looked at each other, nodding in agreement. Minako had to admit, she was really tired. The last couple of nights had been tough, especially with the civilians now choosing sides.

Of course, two young girls walking the streets late at night rose suspicion. Well-meaning adult's questioned why they weren't at home, one woman scolding them and ordering them to go home immediately.

"I hope your parents give you a good talking too!" the woman yelled. Usagi and Minako both giggled as they carried on walking.

"I can't believe there are shops still open" Usagi said wide eyed.

"Well, only the small convenient stores and some shops for the adults, nothing for us" Minako observed verbally as they turned a corner and started to walk down a more residential road. Luna and Artemis had already gone off a different route. Minako and Usagi both thought about leaving the window open for the felines'.

"I just about finished my homework before we went out, Mom was yelling at me again" Usagi said, folding her arms around her chest.

"Yeah, same. Mom keeps saying I'll be a failure if I don't try harder…they don't understand" Minako said thoughtfully. Suddenly, Minako smiled brightly at Usagi.

"Let's head to the Crown tomorrow after school and play some video games, we need some stress release!" Minako shouted happily, doing the Sailor V sign with Usagi clapping her hands in excitement. Sometimes, it's easy to forget, these girls were only fourteen years old.

Almost an hour away, in the district of Shibuya, a young man with short ebony black hair and blue eyes looked out the window, breathing hard. Standing behind him was a silver haired man with greyish blue eyes, looking concerned.

"Mamoru, we must tell the others, you are being affected by all of this" the silver haired man said.

"I know Katashi-san, I just….we only just found each other" Chiba Mamoru told his flat mate. Katashi had only just moved with Mamoru a few months back, both going to the same school.

"That witch is back seeking the Silver Crystal and now Queen Nehellenia wants our power, Earths true power, your birthright! We can't let this go, Jun'ichi has been having visions, Fumio has been monitoring the attacks and Arata has been reading the stars, it all centres around the Juuban area" Katashi said. Mamoru nodded, rubbing his right hand over his sweat filled forehead.

"And what about those two Senshi…especially Sailor Venus" Mamoru said in a small voice as he stretched out. Katashi's faced went stone cold.

"She has her own mission to fulfil and I have mine. We cannot let the past repeat itself, not again" Katashi answered to which Mamoru gave a chuckle.

"You say that now but when you finally come face to face with her, what will you do?" Mamoru asked.

"The same as I expect us all to do. We have our memories back, at least most of them. Our rendezvous caused the end of our lives Endymion. Our whole world was destroyed, innocent people used and killed. We must not allow that to happen again. I would hope you understand this" Katashi said in a hard voice, his eyes holding Mamoru's.

"Of course I understand. We both agreed on this when we originally got our memories back. I will put aside my feelings for the Princess just the same as you will put aside your love for Venus. The Earth and its protection must come first in all of this" Mamoru in a strong tone almost commanding. Katashi nodded.

Mamoru looked out his window again as Katashi left and went to his own room. Letting out a big sigh, Mamoru reflected. He was always a person who would take time out and reflect over matters, he was certain even as Prince Endymion he did the same thing. A year ago, he had just been Chiba Mamoru, living in the Juuban area before meeting Katashi and then, once regaining his memories, moved to Shibuya as he felt it was something he had to do. The other generals lived in Shibuya so it made sense. Mamoru and Katashi had to awaken their comrades, one by one. Whilst this was happening, they watched people descend into madness. Then a few months ago, Mamoru started to get headaches and chest pains. Then the visions came. His memories of the Silver Millennium kept bothering him, making it difficult for him to sleep. Jun'ichi having similar visions at night helped Mamoru in many ways. Jun'ichi was struggling too, trying to channel these visions into information to aid them. They needed to find a way of locating the Golden Crystal. Arata was certain the Golden Crystal was held somewhere, somewhere magical but it seemed everything else surrounding the Golden Crystal was locked away, sealed.

He knew there were clues within his visions and dreams. Little moments, fleeting glimpses and small conversations. One particular dream had stayed with him and he was certain there was something in it. He had seemed to be a young boy of 10 or 11 dressed in a nay blue tunic and black pants and boots. Standing next to him was a grown man with dark hair, greying on the temples. The man must have been Endymions' father as they very much looked alike. They were standing in a courtyard, surrounded by daffodils and small daisies. From his dream, he could tell their conversation had gone from small talk to something important.

"Why can't he come out and play with me?" the young Endymion asked, his voice childish but still serious in tone. The man looked down with warmth in his eyes.

"He has an important responsibility Endymion. A role that is tied to me and to you, to all of Earth" The King of Earth said. The young Prince didn't look too pleased by the answer.

"He must be really lonely" Endymion said.

"In a manner I suppose but he can see us, he watches over you" The King answered.

"What does he protect, I forgot to ask him" Endymion asked.

"He protects a very old, ancient power, similar to that of the Moon Queen Serenity" The King said, his eyes bright.

"Really?" Endymion's own eyes had widened.

"Yes, it's a power passed down through our family, given to us by the gods who had ruled our planet. It gives the true power of healing to all those on Earth and only the pure hearted can use it to its full potential" The King said.

"So, like the Silver Crystal?" Endymion asked, really engrossed in the information his father was relaying to him. The King looked contemplative for a moment.

"In a manner yes, the Silver Crystal was only ever meant to be used by the Queens' of the Moon but it can be used by others for not so good purposes. However, Princess Serenity seems to have a special link with the Crystal now so maybe things will change" The King looked thoughtful at his own words.

"How do you know all this?" Endymion again, asked.

"Oh, Queen Serenity told me….a long time ago before all this mess happened. I wish we could talk with her but now its impossible. You'll understand in time my son. Now, back to your query, he guards the Golden Crystal, that is our power and it must be protected until you are ready to start using it. Once you take control of it, he can leave and grow up" The King said.

"So, where is the Golden Crystal, why does Heli…." And that's when the dream would cut off. He knew if the dream had carried on he would know the location and the person who guards it. Mamoru believed that whoever guarded the crystal was a close friend and this person would stay a child until he could leave his post.

'I must learn to meditate more on these dreams, surely I will get the answers I need' Mamoru thought.

'I will find it, I will take what is my birth right, avenge my parents and make Earth safe again. Nothing will get in my way, I can't….the past must not repeat itself. I am sorry Serenity…maybe in this life we might have to let each other go' Mamoru's thoughts held him prisoner. In his heart, he was desperate to find her, to locate her and to make sure she was safe within his arms. He had sacrificed his life for her, for their love and he would happily do it again. But this time, he needed to be more accountable for his actions. He had to put his own feelings away and focus on what was important. He just wondered how strong he would be when she did return, if she ever did. His mind then rapidly turned to Sailor Moon. He had no idea who she was. He didn't remember a Sailor Moon in the past. But what did it matter to him? His goal was set ahead of him. Whatever the Senshi do was their own battles, it had nothing to do with him anymore. His phone buzzed in his pocket. Taking it out, he smiled a little, his close friend Motoki had sent a text to him, asking if he and the guys wanted to pop down to the Crown.

A woman with long silver hair and blue eyes bowed before an irate Queen Nehellenia.

"Zirconia! Why don't we have the Golden Crystal yet?!" she screeched.

"We must locate its' protector, Earths' High Priest Helios, he has not shown himself yet" Zirconia answered in a monotone voice. Nehellenia, in a rage threw a black energy ball towards the wall, blasting right through it. Her chest heaving up and down and sparks of dark energy danced around her hands.

"And the Silver Crystal?" Nehellenia asked breathlessly.

"Beryl hasn't found it yet, even with the madness on Earth, the Crystal does not show itself" Zirconia answered again. Nehellenia nodded, still aggravated.

"Good, at least that is something. Step up your searches, cause more mayhem. Maybe those two Senshi know something or are searching…Sailor Venus, I remember her….she was guardian to the Moon Princess. There are others…hmmm…no sign of Prince Endymion or his generals yet either. So many variables….leave me! I must think" Nehellenia commanded. With a quick bow Zirconia walked out, preparing for her next plan in searching for the Golden Crystal. Nehellenia continued to walk in a backwards and a forwards motion.

"Beryl never found those generals so she must be weaker….but she does have new ones….Queen Meteria must be backing her still. It would seem I would also need the Silver Crystal to be undisputed in power. I must find Princess Serenity" Queen Nehellenia's eyes darkened at the thought of finding the very child she had cursed all those years ago. She remembered it like it was only yesterday. The slight, the anger, the embarrassment which eventually pushed her into committing an evil that would truly put her on this path of seeking power. She remembered the clinking of glasses, the laughter of people who hadn't seen each other in years. The decorations that gave life to the throne room. The intimacy of it all as a cot was placed near the throne and four young guardians watched over this baby girl with her big blue eyes and happy face.

'Damn them, damn them all!' she had hissed mentally. She had been living on the Moon, living within the darkness, making it her Kingdom right under the Moon Queens' nose. She had felt an ancient evil was rising, albeit slowly. She knew something would come and until that point, she may have given the Queen some sort of warning, in her own evil, manipulative way but still, in the end, the Queen looked down on her so she did the only thing she knew would truly hurt the Queen of the Moon, she cursed the child. That was the real reason she forbade any relations with the Earth, she feared their power might be the source of her daughter's destruction. And indeed, in many ways it was. It didn't matter if she was in love with the then King of Earth. Her daughter came first. But Nehellenia had promised death would come, it would come because she had decreed it.

'How will the little Princess feel when she finds out the truth I wonder?' Queen Nehellenia mused as she started to make plans.

Hi

Thank you guys for the reviews, I was really happy when I got them :-)

All 8 Senshi are in this with pairings included. I am hoping to try and make this a long one so to make room for better character development which I think I have lacked in my other stories. I am still trying to figure out who would win out of Beryl and Nehellenia - Beryls powers come from Meteria really but all their powers go back to Chaos...I have an idea how it will end but we'll see, it might change.

Will add chapter two soon, hope you guys liked this chapter
