One Moon, One Destiny

A/N: Hello Fanfiction World! I am proud to present my long overdue Fanfiction fic debut! I've read a ton of stories—I'll admit, my social life is abysmal—but this is my very first story. This fic will follow the events of the Sailor Moon anime and possible some tidbits of info from the manga and a few events from the Dragon Ball Z anime.

Please note that the title is only temporary as I have every intention of changing it when I finally come up with one I deem to be good enough.

Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon. If I did, I'd be very rich.

Now without further ado…Let the story BEGIN!

Chapter 1: The end of an Era

One well timed attack was all it took to bring her kingdom and the Silver Millennium to an end. From where she lay on an overturned column, Queen Serenity silently cried. Her marble and crystal world lay in ruins, her people dead. Had it just been her court that had been killed, she could live—albeit regretfully. But the one person she could not live without was also dead: her dear daughter Serena.

Cut down by the ruler of the Negaverse, Queen Serenity had been too late to save her. Her daughter had died with the one she loved: Prince Darien of Earth. Though she blamed him not, Prince Darien had been the reason that the attack had happened. The initiator of the attack had been a member of his court, a woman by the name of Beryl who believed that by destroying the Moon Kingdom that the Prince of Earth would be hers.

Queen Serenity had had no choice but to use the Silver Imperium Crystal to end the battle and seal the evil forces away. But the choice had come at a cost, she could not seal the evil forces away without sealing her daughter and her court away, likewise she could not destroy one without destroying the other; both sides now locked inside the Silver Imperium Crystal. As if sealing her own daughter away hadn't been enough of a cost, she used up the majority of her strength in the process.

Queen Serenity now had a choice to make: she could either send them all to be reborn anew, or she could use the crystal to vanquish the enemy once and for all. No matter her choice though, she would end up using the last of her strength and would pass away. Her heart against the second option, she was left with only one choice.

"Queen Serenity?"

Turning her head, Queen Serenity's blue eyes fell on the speaker: a black cat with red eyes and an upturned gold crescent moon on her forehead. Beside the black cat was a white cat with blue eyes and a similar crescent moon on his head. Behind both cats was the only member of her court who survived the attack: the Guardian of Time, Sailor Pluto. Tasked with guarding the Space-Time Door, it was no surprise that she survived the attack. Seeing tears in their eyes, the Moon Queen gave them a sad smile.

"Luna, Artemis, Pluto, I'm afraid that my time is up," Queen Serenity said. "When I use the Silver Crystal to send everyone to be reborn, I will die."

Both cats shook their heads, their tears falling freely. "There must be another way your majesty!" the white Artemis insisted, his voice hopeful.

Queen Serenity gave a sad chuckle. "I'm afraid that there isn't any other choice," she said. She looked at the small, round crystal she held in her hand. "Right now, Serena and the others are trapped in the crystal and if they remain that way, they'll never be reborn. But if I use my remaining strength, I can give Serena and everyone a chance to live again."

"But they won't remember anything, will they?" Sailor Pluto asked.

"No, they won't," Queen Serenity confirmed. "But one day they will, when evil forces return." She fixed her blue gaze on the cats. "Promise me you'll watch over Serena and reunite her with the other scouts when the time comes; they will be our only hope."

The two cats nodded. "We will," they promised.

Queen Serenity turned her gaze to Sailor Pluto, tasking her with the biggest responsibility. "When the deed is done, the crystal will probably revive Serena so please take her to a man by the name of Goku on Dalia. Until she is old enough to protect herself, it will fall on him to keep her safe; if he can't keep her safe, then no one can."

Nodding, Sailor Pluto bowed to her queen. "She will be in good hands, this I swear."

Holding up the crystal, Queen Serenity channeled the last of her strength to the crystal. Pink light flared out of the crystal as it floated upward. Under the rays of light, millions of orbs of light began floating up to the world that was Earth; the souls of her people and her enemies free once more.

One orb in particular floated down toward the moon rather than following the path of the others. Her eyes locked onto the orb, Queen Serenity watched as it erupted into ribbons of gold light. When the light faded, it left a baby wrapped in a sparkling white blanket with wisps of golden blond hair on her head.

Seeing her daughter, tears once again flowed freely from Queen Serenity's eyes as she began to drift away. "Farewell Serena…perhaps…we will meet again," she murmured. Her eyes falling shut, she let out one last breath before passing on to the next life; the Crescent wand she held vanishing in a burst of pink light.

Their queen gone, the three survivors closed their eyes and said a prayer for Queen Serenity to find peace in the afterlife. For several minutes, there was no sound—a stark contrast to the lively sounds of the ball only an hour earlier.

Shaking off her sorrow, Sailor Pluto knelt down and scooped the infant into her arms. "The Moon Princess is reborn," she murmured.

Luna nodded. "The Silver Crystal must have recognized her spirit and chose to have her reborn immediately," she said. "Just like Queen Serenity thought."

Artemis looked over at their Queen, confused by her last requests. "Why would Queen Serenity send Serena to Dalia and the others to Earth?" he asked.

Sailor Pluto looked up at Earth as she replied, "She must have thought it best to keep them separated until the time came for them to be reunited. The enemy would never even think to consider that Queen Serenity would separate her daughter from her court."

"But how will we reunite them if they're on different worlds?" Luna asked.

Sailor Pluto simply shrugged, readjusting the bundle in her arms. "I'm afraid that I do not know, but we must have faith that destiny will find a way," she stated, fairly certain that she would be the one to take the princess to Earth one day. She knelt down to the cats' level. "Time to go."

Casting a glance at their Queen, the two cats reluctantly climbed onto the Guardian of Time's shoulders. "Goodbye your majesty," they said.

Rising, Sailor Pluto dipped her head to her Queen. "Rest in peace Queen Serenity," she murmured. Turning around, she, the cats and the Moon Princess vanished from the once glorious Moon Kingdom.
