Hi guys, this is my first fanfic so bear with me. I'm planning on this being really good. There will be absolutely no cursing, I'm letting readers no right now so that there will be a K+ rating because of the action. If it gets to the point where there's so much action and it might not be suitable for the younger audiences I will change it to a T rating. Please read and review!

Prologue: Part 1

(Note: This is right after Galaxia, and the Senshi are 16 and in 10th grade. Mamoru is a sophomore in college and 20).

Usagi lay on her bed, thinking about how the last fight had gone. Flashback Mercury and Jupiter were already down by the time Eternal Sailor Moon had arrived. Venus and Mars were desperately fighting. Eternal Moon called out her attack, but the monster sent it crashing back at her. As she flew threw the air she threw off her tiara, trying to distract the monster from hurting Mars. The monster grabbed the tiara, and it crumbled in her hands. "Sailor Moon, can't you do anything better!" Mars screamed. The monster whipped around and sent Mars flying. With a horror, Venus ran over to help, but the monster sent a well aimed blast at her. Sailor Moon gasped. "I'm the only one left," she whispered. As the monster advanced on her, she began to back away. "Starlight Flicker!" a voice called. Immediately the monster disintegrated. "Who are you?" Sailor Moon said. In front of her was a girl with curly red hair and blue eyes. Her sailor suit had a light purple skirt and gleaming yellow bows. "I'm Sailor Star," she said and smiled. "And I'm here to help." End Flashback

Sailor Star had turned out to be Naru, her best fiend. She said that she had known Sailor Moon's secret for a long time, and that she had known that she was Sailor Star for a long time. But, Pluto had forbidden her to help the Sailor Senshi until now.

Sailor Moon clenched her hand into a fist. Why hadn't Pluto told her that her best friend was a Sailor Senshi? And why was Sailor Star so much more powerful than them? Well, she would find out soon. Usagi rolled over to look at the clock. It was 5:00. Time to head to Rei's for the meeting.

Later, At Rei's Temple

"I have been training one on one with Pluto for a long time now, that is why I seem so much more powerful. But actually, I am still only a Super Sailor Senshi, like you guys. I have not reached my final transformation yet, and neither have you." Naru paused, and then continued. "I am, however, more powerful than Eternal Sailor Moon." She waited for the outburst.

"No way, you are not more powerful than our Princess!" This was Haruka yelling. The Outers, excluding Pluto, were all attending.

"I'm sorry, but what I mean is that I am at my most powerful stage as a Super Senshi. But Sailor Moon is no yet at her most powerful as Eternal Sailor Moon. She is only at her most powerful when she uses her silver crystal. As we all know she cannot use her crystal all the time, so she cannot always be at her most powerful."

"Are you saying, then, that it would be impossible for Usagi to always be at her highest state of power?" Ami asked.

"No, she just needs more training." Naru stopped. "And so do you guys."

That received roars of protest, as the other Senshi complained. Naru held up her hand. "You guys, I'm here to help. The rest of you Senshi, I can train. You can become as powerful as me if you let me help."

"You mean more powerful than Usagi?" Rei asked. The other Senshi threw her dirty looks, but she ignored them and waited for her answer.

Naru fidgeted a little, and then said yes.

"But, what about me?" Usagi asked. She had been quiet the whole meeting, feeling pretty down in the dumps.

Naru looked at her kindly and said, "I cannot train you. You would get more powerful than me too quickly, and then I would be able to do nothing for you. You would have to ask Pluto to help you, not me."

"Oh, Ok. Um, you guys I think I have to go now. See you all later." Usagi turned and left quickly. The others stared, but then went back to talking with Naru about how to get stronger.

At Usagi's Home

"Puu, I need you!" Usagi called in her bedroom. Pluto quickly emerged through a portal. Looking at her, she questioned what was wrong. Usagi took a deep breath and answered, "I want you to train me. I want you to bring me to my ultimate form as Eternal Sailor Moon, like Naru."

"I'm sorry, Usagi, I'm afraid I cannot do that."

"Why not?"

"You are different from the other Senshi. They can reach their ultimate forms as Sailor Senshi in any of their transformations. But you, you have the Imperial Silver Crystal. Because of that, you cannot reach you ultimate form as Sailor Moon. You can only reach your ultimate form as Serenity."

Usagi looked startled and said, "What do you mean?"

"I mean that you cannot go much farther in terms of magic as Eternal Sailor Moon. No matter how hard you try, your Senshi will be stronger than you soon. The only way for you to get stronger would be for you to become Serenity, your strongest form."

"I can do it!"

"It would take years of hard work. You would have to leave your family and friends behind. You must think carefully before making a decision."

Usagi nodded.

The Next Day

Usagi's watch communicator beeped. She flipped it open and Mercury's face appeared. "Guys, monster at the park. Get here pronto!" Usagi shut it, then quickly transformed. Arriving at the park, the Inner and Outer Senshi, including Sailor Star, were all fighting.

"About time you showed up!" Mars yelled. Usagi just grinned. She was feeling much better than yesterday. Her attitude quickly changed as Sailor Star said that if they weakened the monster, she would finish it off. She thought back to what Pluto said yesterday. The only way to become the most powerful again, was to train for years to become Serenity. Could she do that, she wondered? She was shaken out of her reverie by Jupiter knocking her out of the way of the monster's attack.

"Wake up out here, will you! C'mon, we gotta weaken this thing for Sailor Star." Jupiter ran off to attack it.

Sailor Moon burned inside. Was Sailor Star becoming the new leader? She sighed. She wished Mamoru was back from America. He would make her feel better. Watching the rest of the girls fight she realized something. If she stayed here, they would all become more powerful than her. She would soon be the weakest. She would never be able to fight. I have no choice but to leave she thought.

Usagi suddenly turned around and ran away. No one even noticed as together they finished off the monster.

"Puu, Puu" Sailor Moon cried. Then louder she screamed, "Sailor Pluto!"

Pluto appeared. "Did you think about what I said?"

"Yes," Sailor Moon answered. "It's time I step up as Princess. If this is what it takes, then this is what it takes."

"Good. Do not bother to de-transform. From now on, you will no longer be Tsukino Usagi. As long as you stay with me you will constantly be in training and you will always need to be powered up." She opened the portal for Usagi to step through. As she began to, she turned back around to look at Pluto.

"What will you tell my friends?"

"Do not worry; I will take care of it." Usagi nodded, and stepped through. She disappeared from Earth, for the next three years.

Pluto turned around and left to where the fight had just finished. The Senshi had noticed that Sailor Moon was gone. When they noticed Pluto, they worriedly asked where she went.

"Sailor Moon is gone." Pluto announced.

"Gone!?" They screamed.

"Yes. She left pretty distraught, and did not notice where she was going. A stray attack caught her, and…" Pluto's voice trailed off amidst the Senshi screams. Pluto felt bad about lying to them, but knew that this was the way it had to be. If they thought she had just left, they would just worry about her, and not concentrate on getting stronger. She sighed. This was the way it had to be.

Pluto's Home: In-between Time and Space

Pluto was drilling Sailor Moon on what was to be expected of her. "You must get used to a lot of training, but little sleep. Training starts at 6:00 a.m. and lasts until 6:00 p.m. with minor breaks for eating. Then, you are to study subjects you would learn in school, plus studies on the Moon Kingdom and the Silver Millennium until 11:00. Then, you may sleep. It will be hard at first, but you will get used to it and your super human abilities will help."

Usagi gulped. What had she gotten herself into?

Training started right away. Pluto was right, it was extremely hard for her. She worked all the time. Pluto would start by having her run and exercise, just run and exercise for two hours. Then, she would demonstrate fighting stances and martial arts moves. She would have Sailor Moon practice them. She then proceeded to having her practice fighting on fake monsters she created. For the longest time, she lost every bought. Usagi would then normally get the chance to eat. Then she would run for twenty minutes. After that, Sailor Moon practiced her magic against Pluto. She would have to keep her attack going non-stop for minutes at a time to test her strength. She would have another mock fight against a fake monster, this time using magic and martial arts skills. After that, Pluto would put her through exercises to improver her agility, balance, and her ability to move silently. She would also give her practice in tracking. After that it was a meal. Then, she studied. She was taught things that she would learn in school, primarily advanced math and sciences since Pluto was concerned that she was not smart enough. Also, she worked heavily on her grammar and pronunciation, since Pluto was insistent that she would be able to talk like a princess. Lessons in etiquette were also given. And of course, she was taught everything you could think of about the Moon Kingdom, from society to economics. Finally, she would go to bed. But often, she did not sleep long, because surprise quizzes and fights were often given, since this was the only time she had to do them.

Sailor Moon's first few months were the hardest she ever experienced in her life. She always seemed to be tired, hurt, and hungry. And Pluto was so unforgiving! She ignored Sailor Moon's complaints, insisting it was necessary. Gradually, Sailor Moon learned not to complain. As the months went by, she became more and more silent, for the first time in her life. She learned to try hard and do what was expected of her. Sailor Moon's old, lazy, self seemed completely to disappear. No one who previously knew her would have been able to believe the change. Finally, six months had passed.

When Sailor Moon got up ten minutes to six, as she had for the past six months, and went to Pluto to begin training, Pluto was smiling. "My Princess, do you believe that six months has passed already? You have matured so much that you even get out of bed on time and on your own!"

Sailor Moon smiled at the thought of how shocked her friends and family would be if they saw her now.

"Anyway," Pluto continued, "I think it's time you saw the galaxy. We are going to take a small trip." She smiled at Sailor Moon's shocked expression. "Can you use the silver crystal to make your wings appear?" Sailor Moon nodded, and her beautiful feathered wings appeared, spreading outward. Pluto too took out her wings, and the twosome took off, Pluto leading.

Pluto showed her any spots in the galaxy, starts and comets, moons and the sun. Everything was so beautiful that Sailor Moon could not stop gasping. Sailor Moon was taken to all her friends' planets, and was shown all of the ancient civilizations. When they finally returned, it was well into the afternoon.

"Well, I guess it's time for you to study," Pluto said.

"I have a great idea for studying," Sailor Moon said with a grin. "Take me to the Moon kingdom. Show me how I used to live."

Pluto looked thoughtful. "Ok, this will cover your Moon Kingdom part of your lessons, but afterward you must finish the rest of your studies." Sailor Moon nodded.

Pluto opened the time stream and said, "Follow me." Soon, they were over the Moon Kingdom, looking down on the palace over a thousand years before.

"There is a ball tonight that starts in about an hour. But, we aren't going to watch much of that. I want you to see what happens before that. And remember, no interaction!"

They soared down, and Pluto said, "I'm going to turn you invisible." Both of them were soon invisible to anyone looking.

"Pluto…" Sailor Moon said when she realized she could not see the Guardian of Time. The guardian hushed her, and suddenly they heard voices.

"That was a good training session." The first voice said. It sounded an awful lot like Venus.

"Before, you know it, you'll be as strong as us." This voice sounded like Jupiter.

Five figures came into view. Sailor Moon almost gasped. The first four people were the Sailor Senshi, but the fifth was Sailor Moon!

Sailor Moon turned around and said, "Thanks for training me you guys. If my mother found out we'd all be in so much trouble. I just do not see how come she doesn't want me to fight!"

The Sailor Moon from the future studied her counterpart. She sure did not talk like she expected a princess to. She talked just like a normal teenager. And she sure did not expect her to be Sailor Moon!

"Hurry up, it's almost time for the ball." This was Mercury trying to rush the girls. "We do not want to be late."

The girls rushed away, and Sailor Moon and Pluto were left alone. Sailor Moon was about to say something, when more footsteps were hear. These footsteps turned out to be those of Prince Endymion and Queen Serenity. A lump formed into her throat as Sailor Moon saw her mother who she had only met once with the man she loved.

"My Queen, I just do not feel that the people of the moon will accept me. I feel so out of place here."

"Do not worry Endymion, I know you love my daughter and as long as you have my support, you two will be fine."

"I hope you are right Queen Serenity."

Serenity lay her hand on his shoulder for comfort. "Why don't you go talk with the Knights until the ball. After all, they soon will be yours." Endymion agreed, then walked away. Queen Serenity was still for a moment, then said, "Whoever is hidden, please reveal yourself."

Sailor Moon was startled. But what could she do? Pluto was the one who turned her invisible. Suddenly, she and Pluto appeared in front of the Queen as Pluto let go of the power that shielded her and Sailor Moon.

Queen Serenity gasped. "Pluto, what are you doing here?"

"I have brought someone to meet you." She pushed Sailor Moon forward. "She is your daughter from the future. I presume you two want to talk?" Both women nodded, and Serenity beckoned for Sailor Moon to follow her. "One second." Pluto leaned over to Sailor Moon and whispered: "Remember not to reveal the future to her." Sailor Moon nodded, and followed the Queen.

In Serenity's Study

"What brings you here with Pluto?" Serenity asked.

Sailor Moon carefully answered, "I am in training with her."

Serenity nodded and smiled. "Your past self thinks that I do not know that she is training with the other Senshi as Sailor Moon. But, I know. I have chosen to let her learn, because I think it may help her. I was never trained to fight, so if I ever had to use the Silver Crystal, I would probably die."

Sailor Moon tried not to show any reaction from this statement. "I've become very strong now, and Pluto says that soon she will teach me to use the silver crystal."

Serenity reached over to hug her daughter. "Then I hope you stay safe. Is there anything you wanted to ask me?"

Sailor Moon paused and said yes. "Why are the people against Serenity's and Endymion's relationship?"

Serenity sighed. "There was once a time where we were at peace with each other. But, when Sailor Earth was lost forever, the two kingdom's began to split. To make things worse, there is an evil on earth that wants to attack the Moon Kingdom. This alliance needs to happen in order to protect both kingdom's." The Queen sighed, then said, "I'm afraid I have to go prepare for the ball. I'll see you in the future." As her mother hugged her, Sailor Moon could not help the tears coming out of her eyes.

When she reunited with Pluto, Pluto said softly, "You should know that this is the night the kingdom was destroyed, the night Endymion proposed and gave you the Star locket."

"Why did you take me to this day!?"

"I wanted you to understand more about what happened, and what was going on politically. I wanted you to see why you became Sailor Moon in the first place. Also, and perhaps most importantly, I did this for Serenity. I did it so that she would have hope that when she sent everyone to the future, that her daughter would still survive and would regain her memories. I took you here to help her to have the courage to do what she did."

"I understand."

"Good. Would you like to stay for part of the ball." Sailor Moon shook her head no, and Pluto said, "Then let's return home."

When they got back, Pluto told Sailor Moon that she could go to bed early if she was still too upset. To her surprise, Sailor Moon rejected and said that she would continue studying.

On a far off planet a little girl cried, for the loss of her mother.

How was it every one? Please read and review. I will be posting the Prologue Part 2 soon. Thank you!
