The Millennium Kingdom is destroyed, Pharaoh Atem rode his horse in front of his men as they all stared at the destruction. Atem then turns to his men. "Search for survivors!" He orders, he turns back around to head for the palace entrance.
Dismounting his horse, Atem looks at the palace was he studies the destroyed building. He then runs inside.
"Atem!"
The Pharaoh sharply turns to see Queen Serenity hurry up to him. "Your Majasty, what has happened?"
"The Dark Moon has risen and attacked. There was no warning!"
Beads of sweat appeared on his face. "Where's Serena?" He asked with concern. "Please tell me she's alright."
The Queen's lower lip trembled. "I don't know." She said as she shakes her head. "The last time I say her she was with Luna."
Pharaoh nods, relieved. "Luna will keep her safe." But his relief is shortened when Luna suddenly comes up and collapses to the floor. Pharaoh and the Queen hurry over to her.
"Luna!" Queen Serenity gently scooped the black cat up into her arms. "Luna, are you alright?"
"I'm not sure." Luna breathed.
"Luna, what's happened? Where is Serena?" Pharaoh asked with worry.
"I don't know what happened. The attack came out of nowhere." Luna answered, still nestled in the Queen's arms. "Serena was with the Outer Scouts, that's the last thing I remember."
Pharaoh stood up and took off down the hall in a rush.
"Pharaoh!" Queen Serenity calls after him.

Princess Serena laid on the floor, wincing as her right arm is stretched out as far as it'd go to reach her crescent wand that was just fingers away.
"Neptune! Pluto! We gotta keep Serena safe!" Sailor Uranus yelled out, after throwing out an attack.
Serena yells as she jumps forward and grabs her wand, just before she's thrown off her feet and into a pillar.
An ugly looking creature flew at her, she screamed in terror. Until Pharaoh charges in and slices the creature in half.
Soon, all the creatures are destroyed.
"Few, that's the last of them." Neptune said as she, Uranus and Pluto regroup then rush up to Serena, who was now cradled in Pharaoh's arms.
"Princess, what happened?" Pluto asked. "Why couldn't you transform?"
Tears slide down Serena's cheeks as she clutched Pharaoh tightly. "I don't know." She choked. "It, it stopped working."
"Stopped working?" Pharaoh repeated gently. "Dearest."
"How can I protect my family and my kingdom without my wand?" Serena asked tearfully.
"We will find a way my love." Pharaoh told her gently. He picks up the wand and looks at it. "We will restore it in a way that it'll be brand new."

In the present day. Serena Tsukino awoke with a start, falling out of bed at the same time waking up Luna.
"Serena?" She watches as Serena struggles against the blankets and pulls them off her.
"I had the weirdest dream ever!" Serena exclaims. "I saw my mother, Queen Serenity! And you were there, so were the Outer Scouts and this handsome and most cutest guy ever!" She said with stars and hearts in her eyes.
Luna yawned and stretched. "It's too early for this." She goes back to sleep.
"But Luna!" Serena cried. "The guy was a hunk!"
"It was a dream Serena!" Luna protested, putting her paws over her ears. "Good night!"
Serena moves towards her. "Exactly!" She grabs the cat, making Luna yelp. "A very dreamy hunky hunk guy!" She cried as she hugged Luna tightly, who groaned. "A dream guy who I need to know right away!" She squeals brightly.

Sailor Venus winced as she leaned against a broken wall, her left arm around her waist. Next to her is Sailor Mercury leaning heavily backwards on the wall, Sailor Jupiter is breathing heavily and sweating. And Sailor Mars is currently holding Artemis in her arms.
"V!"
Everyone turned to see Priest Seto hurry over to them with guards.
"Seto." Venus smiled.
"What are you doing here?" Jupiter asked in surprise. "You're suppose to be protecting the Pharaoh, aren't you?"
"He's fine." Seto said. "He's here actually."
Mercury gasps. "He's here!?"
"The Pharaoh wanted to help." Seto said as he wrapped his arm around Venus and held her close. "We all did."
"And it's so good to have you here." Venus smiles at him, then looks at Artemis. "Mars, is he." She trails off as she slowly walks over to her and the white cat.
"I'm afraid he's gone." Mars whispers. "I can't sense anything on him."
"No!" Venus cried, grabbing the cat into her arms. "Artemis!" She shook her royal cat advisor, but he still wouldn't wake. "Artemis!" Her knees give out and she collapses to the floor.
Seto knelt down and pulls her into his arms. "My love, I am sorry." He said softly as she sobs.

Mina Aino awoke with a loud gasp, bolting up in her bed. She quickly looked around. "Artemis? Artemis, where are you?!" She cries, before turning on a lamp.
"Mina, what happened?" Artemis asked as he jumps onto the bed.
"ARTEMIS!" Mina sobs, grabbing him and clinging tightly to him. "You're ok!"
"Of course I'm ok!" He squeaked. "Mina! Can't breath!"
She let him go and stared down at him. "I had the weirdest dream." She told him calmly. "I think it was a dream."
"Well, we can discuss this at a later time." He told her. "It's still early, and you have that new job in the morning."
"You're right." She nods, turning to turn off the lamp and lays back down. "And you'll be here in the morning?" She asks.
"Of course I will." Artemis reassured her.

It was a beautiful morning. The sun was shinning brightly in the sky, chasing away the last of the cold rain. The morning bustled like normal. The Kame Game shop soon opens for business for the day.
Across the city, KaibaCorp is in full swing of business. Seto Kaiba sat behind his desk, going through papers when his new secretary Mina walked in with a big bright smile, dazzling her beautiful face with her blue eyes sparkling.
"Good morning!" She announces brightly, balancing a tea tray in her arms. "I thought you would like some coffee!"
Kaiba never looked away from his papers. "Not now."
Mina pouts. "But I didn't burn it this time!"
"Not now."
Mina opens her mouth, but the office door swings open to reveal Mokuba Kaiba walking in.
"Seto! You're not going to believe this!" He exclaims, then slides to a stop when he sees Mina. "Whoa! Sorry, big brother I'll come back later."
Kaiba jumped out of his chair. "Mokuba!"
Mina smiles. "Hi! I'm Mina, Seto Kaiba's new secretary!" She said brightly, making Mokuba stare up at her.
"Whoa, then you're single right?"
Mina blushed, while Kaiba comes around his desk.
"Mokuba, that's not your concern!"
"Of course it is!" Mokuba said, looking up at him. "You're my brother."
"What do you need Mokuba?" Kaiba questioned. "Unless Yugi and his friends are up to something, I'm not interested."
"No, they've been quiet for awhile. But Pegasus is up to something!"
Kaiba sharply turns back around. "What?" He demands. "What's that no good piece of sum up too!?"
"He's here too! And he claims to have a deck of rare Duel Cards. And one of them is a rarest one of them all."
"Rare Dueling Cards?!" Kaiba yelled. "Where did he find them!?"
"Wouldn't you like to know, Kaiba." The calm voice had the three turn their attention to the door to see Maximillion Pegasus standing there. Mina shuttered when she saw him and inched closer to Kaiba.
"Rare cards huh?" Kaiba growled, folding his arms while glaring. "I'd like to see those rare duel cards you say you have."
"All in do time, Kaiba." Pegasus replied, his eyes landed on Mina. "Hello, dear lady." He bows, irritating Kaiba even more. "Maximillion Pegasus."
"My secretary!" Kaiba snarls, grabbing Mina's arm and pulls her behind him. "Now we're closed!" He barks. "Goodbye, scram and get lost!"
"My, my such a temper." Pegasus smirks. "You're as curious as a cat." With that he turns and walks out of the office.
"That annoying pug!" Kaiba hisses.
"A rare card?" Mina gasped, her eyes wide. "People would give up their right arm for something that rare."
"The newest rare cards are called Sailor Cards." Mokuba said. "It's said that no one has them. That they're so rare that no body knows if they're even real."
"Wow!" Mina gasped. "Really?"
Mokuba nods. "Yeah."
Mina has a thoughtful look on her face as Kaiba turns back to his desk.
"Mina, my brother and I have work to do." He pushes the tray of coffee away. "Leave us, take that with you." He orders.
Mina blinks as her eyes come back into focus and she again pouts. "But it's still hot."
"Just take it away!" Kaiba snapped.
She sighs. "Alright, Sunshine, alright." She moves to take the tray and when she does she trips and the tray crashes down onto the floor, spilling the black coffee onto the rug as she falls to the floor too.
"You klutz!" Kaiba yells. "Look at that mess and stain!"
In a flash Mina is on her feet. "It's not stained!" She cried, before running out of the office and a few minutes later returns with paper towels and a bucket of water. "I got it!"
Kaiba rubs his temples with irritation. "That's not getting it clean!" He yells.
Mokuba shook his head. "Mina, wet paper towels aren't going to work." He said calmly, watching the blonde.
"I'll get it clean, don't worry!"
Kaiba rolls his eyes. "Forget it, it's just stained now!" He yells, moving around her.
"Wait, wait, wait!" She cried jumping to her feet, but tripped and her arms flailing around she lands on Kaiba grabbing his waist.
"Get off me!"
Mina leaps away. "I'll get it clean!" She quickly goes back to her cleaning.
"Mokuba, let's go!" Kaiba yelled.
"Coming!" Mokuba calls as he follows his brother, just as he did Mina accidentally knocks into Kaiba's desk, knocking down all the papers and they flutter to the floor.
"You said she came highly recommended." Kaiba dryly said as he and Mokuba walk out of the office.

Rai and her grandfather walked down a sidewalk. "There's nothing to do here Grandpa!" She complained.
"Stop your griping Rai!" He said cheerfully as they walked passed a shop called Black Crown.
Duke Devlin turned from parking his car and spots Rai. "Whoa!" He gasped, then grins, and in a flash he's gone.
Rai yelps as she and her Grandfather quickly stop when Duke suddenly appears in front of them.
"Hello!" He charmingly smiled at her.
"Goodbye." Rai walked around him.
"Young lady, where are your manners?" Her grandfather questioned.
"It's around this city somewhere." Rai said calmly. "Grandpa, we're going to be late!" She yelped when her grandfather grabs her and yanks her back.
"This is my granddaughter, Rai Hino." Her grandfather introduced.
"Duke Delvin." Duck smiles. "Charming to meet you."
"Pleasure." Rai greeted dryly.
Her grandfather gave her a look, then looks at Duke. "So young man, is this your shop?"
Duke smiles as he turns to his shop. "Ain't she a beauty? Belonged to my dad, now it's mine. And the best Dungeon Dice Monsters you'll ever see in this city."
"Your shop?" Rai's grandfather asked, then smiled. "Do you do tours?" He asks in interest.
"Grandpa!" She turns to him. "Don't bug the man!"
"I normally don't." Duke said. "But for you two?" He nods. "I'll do it!"
"But Grandpa!" Rai gives him a pleading look.
"Now listen Rai, you were board." Her Grandfather smiled. "And now I'm very interested!"
"Great!" Duke wrapped his left arm around Rai's shoulders, irritating her. "Welcome to my pride and joy!" He announces as he guided her and her and grandfather into the building.
