AN: This was a story idea I had for a few days after watching a few old clips of classic Doctor Who with the Valeyard, the Doctor's darker half. Hope you like it! Enjoy!
Sailor Pluto, the guardian of the Time, was known to have lived a long time. She lived centuries long after the fall of the Moon Kingdom, guarding the doorway to the fourth dimension that was appropriately named the Gates of Time. She would protect it and only used the Gates of Time to witness events, never act upon them. Pluto saw the Gates of Time as a source of power and wisdom that she and others could benefit from.
Now, Pluto stood before the very thing she protected and cursed it.
What caused such a reaction was what the Gates of Time had shown Pluto. It had showed her something horrible, so horrible. It was something Pluto feared may happen, but nothing like what she saw right now. Not even the destruction of the Moon Kingdom by Beryl's hands had brought her so much distraught.
Through the Gates of Time, Pluto stared at Crystal Tokyo with tears pouring from her eyes like waterfalls. It was no longer the shining light of the world that it became after the Great Freeze. No, it was nothing more than a husk with smoke rising from the ruined buildings and into the darkened skies above. The hellish flames that engulfed the city died down, yet they left their mark as many of the pearl white buildings were were half their original size and covered in a black soot, while others were reduced to ash entirely.
Littering the streets were the bodies of men, woman, and children that were smoldering corpses, their black ash-like faces carrying expressions of horror. The had bony jaws that were open and eyes wide open with great fear. The sight sickened the Sailor Scout of Time to the point she had to hold in the urge to vomit right there.
Then, Pluto saw them: the Sailor Scouts, both members of the Inner and Outer planets, lying in the center of the destruction. They were like Crystal Tokyo's former denizens, the flesh nearly burnt away and covered in the same black color of death. Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune- all were the same. Even Pluto herself was among the dead. Yet, the bodies of the city's protectors only surrounding the worst of the tragedy.
There were two piles of ashes, one on the white suit of Earth's king and the other over the school-girl uniform of Small Lady. Not too far was the shattered remains of the Silver Imperium Crystal scattered across the street, only a few centimeters from the hands of Neo-Queen Serenity.
The great ruler of Crystal Tokyo laid there, her body burnt like the others, but at the same time, her parts of her body had been twisted and bent out of shape. It was a contorted a mess, so horrid that Pluto could not even say the corpse was that of a human.
Pluto fell on her knees, the calm mask she wore over her feelings so often now burst from the feelings she felt. There was no hope in what she saw, nothing in the slightest. All of which Pluto and the Sailor Scouts worked so hard for was now in ruins. For the first time in centuries, the Sailor Scout of Time felt despair.
It was not long afterward that Pluto caught the sight of black, flowing robes billowing in the deathly cold breeze that passing over the robes' owner and the corpses. Staring at the owner, Pluto found the source of it all. The one who caused the great fall of Crystal Tokyo, was in Pluto's view.
Standing over the burnt corpse of Neo-Queen Serenity was a man. Pluto mentally shook that thought at. The being looked human, but she knew he was not human in the slightest. He looked young, but he was old–ancient, in fact–far older than Pluto herself. This person, this being carried great power around him, power that could have once been used for good, but now brought only ruin.
His gaze was lowered at the mangled corpse of Serenity before he raised his head. Soon, the being's gaze turned and Pluto found his eyes, those ancient eyes, staring at her.
Pluto's body froze when she realized something. The man was staring at her. He could see her, see the Gates of Time!
"I know you're there."
The mysterious being's voice boomed with power, catching Pluto out of her state of shock. The Scout of Time could only stare through the Gates of Time and back at the being. "Who are you?" Pluto asked, surprised she could even had the strength to speak.
The being's lips turned into a smile that sent shivers down Pluto's already cold back. Then, he spoke only four words: "I am the Valeyard."
In the present, night fell over the city of Tokyo like a blanket over a sleeping child. The lights reached the sky along with the sounds of life that buzzed throughout the streets as people went to and from their homes and the many sites in the city. Some were couples going out on dates, others were friends just hanging, and if one looked closely, a pair of children meeting each other for the first time.
As people went on with their daily lives, they failed to notice a single detail within one of Tokyo's alleyways. In the darkness, one would see the shape of a box appear for just a moment before it disappeared only to appear. The box continued to phase in and phase out of existence, letting out that constant magical whirl as it did.
Vroop, vroop, vroop...
