Sailor Moon P: Return of the Past

Chapter One: A Senshi in Need

The wind blew through the air chilling the walkers down the crowded Tokyo streets in Japan.  A green haired woman smiled at the other walkers down the white covered streets.  Her garnet eyes twinkled with laughter as a mother told her child she could not eat ice cream.  A particularly strong gust of wind blew by, and Setsuna could not help but shutter.

I am weakening.  I use to be able to survive a hurricane and not even flinch.  Usagi-hime has certainly softened me.

           

At this the senshi of time could not help but let a smile grace her lips, the little tuski hime had wormed her way into everyone of the sensei's hearts whether or not they wanted it.  Shivering again in the cold of the late months of the year, she cursed herself and spotted a nearby coffee shop.  Maybe a detour on the way home was not that bad.

Yup, defiantly weakening, but revenge is sweet. Maybe a few spiders in the bedroom would work…

           

Silver bells attached to the doors jingled as she opened the door.  The interior of the store was a light shade of blue with silver trimmings.  There were rare plants that Setsuna could barely suppress a gasp at the breeds that were from all the planets, many that could have never been saved after the fall of the Silver Millennium.  It was merely not possible for this store to be real.

Sitting down at a table, Setsuna grew even more curious about this small shop as a young woman made her way to her.  "Welcome to the Silver Palace, ma'am.  What would you like?  I would recommend the Plutonian Tea.  It is a bit strong, but just the right about of tea leaves to not make it too strong.  You look like you just had a large shock, if you don't mind me saying, ma'am."

Setsuna smiled warmly," Hai, I have.  Plutonian Tea sounds wonderful, and how are your cakes?"

"We carry a wide variety ma'am," the teen told her, "But you seem the type of person who would like a plutonian food.  An Outerberry tart ma'am, a little tart, but goes wonderfully with Plutonian Tea."

"Well, I must try that," the princess of Pluto stated.  Strangely, she knew these foods and wondered how the names could be similar.

Could someone have survived the fall?  That couldn't have happened.  I would know if anyone lived.  It must be coincidental.

Something in the back of her mind told her that she was wishing for the impossible and Setsuna listened to her gut, for it had saved her life on numerous occasions.  Grinning, the girl told her she would bring out her food very soon and turned to do just that.  Setsuna stared after the girl, as if trying to remember her. 

            She had a mane of silvery blonde hair that was upswept into a messy bun, though it looked like it could reach her waist, at the least.  She wore a black skirt that reached her knees, even though it was the dead of winter and a black, silky tank top and a white sheer long sleeve over shirt.  Black pumps, silver dangling star earrings and a matching necklace completed the outfit.  Her lighter-than-the-sky blue eyes twinkled with an all knowing wisdom and humorous sparkle.

            A flash erupted in her mind and she saw two women and four men standing behind another woman. 

The main woman had silver hair in a similar fashion as her own and was in a pure white strapless dress that fit her curves and dripped steeply in the back to allow her wings, which were tinted blue, faintly, room to maneuver.  It also had pale blue embroidery of moons and leaves at the top and a pale blue ribbon was tied below her breasts.   She wore white slippers and had a staff, but the staff had a tear shaped pale stone in the middle that glittered silver and blue.  Her blue eyes the color of rain and were widened at the scenery.

            Her next companion was a woman with emerald green eyes that held a saddened glimmer.  She also wore a sailor fuku similar to Cosmos' that's skirt shimmered purple and green in different lights.  She also held a staff that was purple wrapped in looked like jungle vines and had a purple and green stone at the top.  She wore purple ankle boots and her wings were white with a hint of purple.  Her hair was raven that fell to her waist, even though it was in a high pony tail. 

            The last female wore a golden skirted sailor fuku that was also like Cosmos'.  She wore golden high heels and as the two women before her she had a staff.  Her golden staff held a bright ball that looked like the sun only in miniature form.  Her wings were a white with a slightly gold glint in it.  Her eyes were mainly blue with flecks of gold.  Her blonde hair was in a braid that also fell to her waist.

            The four men that stood two aside each senshi, who were on either side of the princess looking woman, they each wore armor similar to Prince Endymion in the color of navy.  They each had a sword inside a scabbard at their right side and a navy and silver cape.  The man next to the golden senshi had blonde hair and blue eyes, the one next to him had black hair and blue eyes also.  The one closest to the other senshi had brown hair and green eyes, and the last one had brown eyes and silver hair.  All their hairs fell past their shoulders. 

            They all gazed at the wasted moon kingdom, and the silver haired female began to cry.

            Movement caught the eyes of the group of soldiers around her.  They began to surround the crying female, but she broke free of them and tore to the figure.  "Mother..." she whispered.

           

The queen of the moon kingdom was taken into the hands of the girl and her head was laid on the girl's lap.  "Mother, I'm so sorry we where late.  We're too late.  Sere is dead along with the other senshi and so is Endymion.  I'M SO SORRY!" the girl cried.

           

"Oh, Selenity, it is alright," the dying queen smiled faintly, "Always putting the blame on yourself dear, that's why I made you the protector, so your sister could rule.  Chaos is coming and I want you to stall it and weaken it for as long as possible, but your sister must defeat it.  Serenity is the rightful heir but to show she is strong enough to rule, she must defeat Chaos.  I named you after myself because you looked so much like me and act like myself, while your sister takes after your father completely even with the royal blonde hair.  Take care of yourself and watch over your sister, but I don't want you to be known anymore.  Make everyone forget, even Pluto.  Take care my daughter, for I love you forever and always."

           

The brightness of the moon died down and the queen's body faded away, "Away to the land of the Kings and Queens.  She will be at rest there," Selenity smiled sadly, yet slightly wistful, "Though we shall never be.  Rest is something, we shall not be granted."

Then she suddenly turned to her companions and grimly stated, "We have to finish this quickly, go to each of the planetary kingdoms and make them and the planet's inhabitances invisible to earthling's eyes.  Give them the warnings that the Moon Kingdom has been destroyed and that we are to wait until the princess's return.  Then, place the people on the planet in a deep sleep.  No one must know of us until the time is right, and then report back here.  Hurry, we don't have much time!"

The six companions nodded and teleported to Mercury, the first planet upon the first of many trips.  The girl sighed and fell to her knees.  "Puu, I need to talk to you," she said aloud.

An ornate door appeared a few feet from Selenity.  Sailor Pluto, the guardian of time and space and the princess of Pluto, stepped through the doors, "You called, princess."

The girl turned her blue eyes to the older woman and stated, "You probably already know what I am going to do, don't you, Puu."

"Hai," Pluto nodded to show she knew, "But I wish you didn't, I want to help you.  We are the best of friends aren't we?"

"Hai, Puu, we are," Selenity smiled, "Though, you are only older than me by two days!"  Hugging her friend, she whispered, "Gomen, I'll see you soon, Puu.  Good bye."  With those words said, a silver light surrounded the plutonian woman and her memories with the younger girl were suppressed and returned to the Gates of Time.

"Goodbye," she whispered again.

Setsuna gasped and held her head.  What the heck had that been?  A vision?  A memory? 

The waitress came back with a smile on her that suddenly turned to a frown at the face Setsuna wore.  "Ma'am, are you alright?" she called, rushing to the older woman.  Quickly, she pulled out a small bottle and handed it to her, "Ma'am, pain killer is in that bottle if you need some."

Setsuna turned to the girl, "I'm sorry, I just saw something that really shocked me."  She spotted her food before and stated, "That looks really good."

The girl laughed quietly, a twinkling bell like sound, "You sure know how to change the subject.  They are the food I know how to cook the best, a close friend taught me how; she always loved making them."  Her face turned dark then, "But she's no longer with me.  She doesn't remember me.  I need to go back to work.  This is on the house miss, have a good evening."  With that the girl turned and left quietly.

You still don't remember Puu.  I can barely stand it.

Without knowing it, tears began to fall down her cheeks, but this caught the attention of the cashier.  He looked around twenty and had raven hair and crystal clear blue eyes.  He wore a navy shirt and black slacks.  He looked about 5' 9'' and was very muscular.  His long hair was a little longer than his shoulders.

"Sele, you ok?" he questioned.  His princess was crying and this was no laughing matter.  He scanned the crowd of customer and nodded to two women one with raven hair and another with blonde and nodded as to tell them to take over the crying companions work.  They nodded back and went to work.

His crying friend didn't reply and now was the time to get her out of here.  "Luke, get your rear out here and take care of cashier duty.  Sele isn't feeling too good," he shouted to the kitchen area.  A man identical to himself except for blonde hair instead of raven ran out of the kitchens, "What's wrong, Matthew?" he worriedly asked.

"Think best friends, Luke," Matthew stated in a hushed tone of voice.

"Oh, gottcha.  Get her out of here.  We'll hold the fort down," Luke grinned.

Matthew nodded and took the younger girl with him out of the building and gave her the black leather jacket that she owned and pulled on his own leather jacket.  They just walked around the city until they reached a park.  Matthew led her to a bench and sat down with her.  "Sele, what happened back there?" he quietly asked his quiet companion.

'Sele' just looked out at the frozen lake and then sighed, "She was my best friend, and she doesn't remember anything.  Not I, not you, no one and it hurts.  I just want to run to her and shake her and say, 'Puu, come on remember your best friend.'  She was in pain too and damn it, it's entirely my fault, Matt.  We should've never come here.  We should've stayed in the shadows at home.  Life would be better for everyone.  Lily is hurting too, she sees Endymion but can't run up and hug him or say hello.  She is his younger sister, and I took this away her.  If I had hurried the whole universe would be different."

Matthew just stared, out of all the years he had known Selenity, never had she been this way.  She was cheerful and kind, never sad and down pressed.  "Sele, it is not your fault.  Fate destined the Silver Millennium to fall and you couldn't have stopped it.  Stop blaming yourself, no one blames you.  We are all worried about you, especially me.  We don't want to lose you hime."

            Selenity turned to friend, "As I would you, Matt-chan.  Now, we must get back before Lily or Alexandra comes searching for us thinking we've murder each other."

            "With good sense too," Matthew grinned, "I did try to kill you once."

            "Or twice or five MILLION times, you jerk," Selenity teased, "Call me Hope on Earth, because I now have hope for a better future.  And Selenity isn't too common, you know."

            "Yeah, yeah," he waved her comment off, "You told us two thousand times before we came.  I never though you would stop drilling us, baka."

            "BAKA!" Hope yelled, "I'll show you baka!"  Quickly she grabbed some snow and stuffed it down the back of his shirt and ran away laughing.

            Matthew began to dance a jig to try to get the snow out of his shirt, "Evil, evil, evil," he chanted while dancing.  When it was finally out, the male packed some snow together and threw it.  The snowball fight had begun.

~~~~~~~~~

            A light shone through the darkened night's sky.  A white house stood on a street surrounded by others.  A light shone through one of the windows.  Inside a long haired blonde sat reading the latest Sailor V manga.  Her blue eyes sparkled with mirth as a black cat rolled its eyes.  A beep called the happy scene to a halt.  The blonde looked up surprised and took a silver cell phone off her desk.

"Moon here," she calmly stated into the phone.

"Mercury calling," was the reply through the tiny phone, "We have a youma at the park, hurry Moon."

"Be there soon Mecury, Moon out," with a quiet click the phone ended the conversation and the blonde pushed the planetary symbol for Venus.

"Venus here, "a bubbly voice called.

"Venus, youma in the park, get there asap and called Mars.  This is Moon," the blonde order. 

"Hai, Moon, Venus out." Was the answer she heard.

The blonde put her phone in her pocket and turned out her light and made her bed up to look like someone was sleeping in it.  She, then, nodded to her cat and jumped out a nearby window. 

Glancing to make sure no one saw her, the blonde sprinted down the street until she reached the ever famous Tokyo Park.  Her face flushed from running had a frown on it as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a heart shaped brooch with wings upon the sides.  She opened it to see a white crystal glow.  Her frown deepened, never before had the crystal 'glowed.'  She shook her head and raised her brooch above her head and called out to the abandoned park, "Eternal Moon Make-UP!"

A bright light surrounded her body and two pairs of wings surrounded her body to protect her from the cold and human eye.  Inside though, was another story.  A white body suit fit upon her and a multicolored and three layered skirt flowed out from the bottom part of the body suit.  A pair of white gloves tipped in pink wit around her arms and a pair of white boots covered her feet.  Pair of moon shaped earrings were in her ears and two jewels were in her dins upon her head.  Four ribbons fell from the back of her body suit.  She held a scepter with a heart and ring at the top of it. 

With her transformation ended, the blonde flew to the battle ground and gazed at the battle below with hardened eyes.  Her Inner senshi were battling a woman with green waist length hair who looked like an Amazon who shot a bow and arrow.  It looked as though the woman was winning.  Tuxedo Mask was trying to hit her with a rose.

She landed, surprising the woman, "I am Sailor Moon, protector of this planet and universe and in the name of the Moon, and you shall be punished."

The woman looked shocked and muttered, "Not the older brat."  She slowly grinned at the senshi of the moon. "Protector of the Universe, HA!  You aren't she.  She is among you though, and I shall weed her out!" after saying this, she aimed her bow at Sailor Moon and fired.

"Venus Love-Me-Chain!"

The chain deflected the attack and Sailor Moon sent a smile at her head of guard.  That had been close, but what had she meant by 'Not the older brat' or 'Protector of the Universe…' The simple fact worried her.  She was destined to become Sailor Cosmos later; even so, she should be the only senshi protecting this universe, mainly.  Her guard and the other senshi of the other planets protected their princesses or princes or planet's, right? 

A battle cry from the senshi of Jupiter broke the tiny blonde out of her thoughts.  The brunette had attacked the vivid green haired woman.  Her lightening attack caused little more than a scratch.  All the protectors of the Earth nodded at each other.  This needed to be done, quickly.  She began her incantation for her magic when an arrow hit her tier away.

That was NOT what I needed!  Ok, run, dive, attack.  Battle plan done, now, to put it into motion.

With her thoughts souly on getting her tier back quickly, she didn't notice a green arrow coming toward her, but someone else did.

Tuxedo Karmen watched in horror as the green arrow flew to his lover's chest; her eyes were glazed in deep thought.  "USAKO!" he yelled. 

The long haired blonde's blue gazed cleared and turned to shock, horror and sad knowing as the arrow was noticed.  It was too late, and no one could stop the invincible Eternal Sailor Moon, Princess of the Moon and future ruler of the Earth, Neo-Queen Serenity, from dying.

Or at least, they thought so.
