CHAPTER 1 – Sucks to die like this.

''I'm freezing!'' Makoto, Sailor Jupiter shivered as she hugged herself. ''Come on Ami, where the heck is that energy thingy?''

The five Sailor senshi stood together in the middle of the snow blazing North Pole, by the orders of one talking black cat. Well, Artemis had agreed with Luna that the pulse of mysterious energy showing on the radar was indeed very unusual. The energy didn't seem natural either. Now it was the Sailor senshi's job to travel and locate whatever was causing that pulse in case it was another threat made by the Dark Kingdom.
It was freezing cold and if it weren't for their senshi powers they would most likely have been dead by now.

Ami, Sailor Mercury kept on typing on her small computer and at the same time scanned the area with her goggles. ''The signal is getting stronger.''

''Everyone, get ready for anything we might face,'' Minako, Sailor Venus said as her leader instinct kicked in. ''And protect the princess.''

''You guys!'' Usagi, Sailor Moon pouted. ''I can handle myself, I'm not the same princess you knew back in the Silver Millennium.''

The reveal that klutzy Usagi was the moon princess they had been looking for, ever since they turned into Sailor senshi, was a big shock for all of them. It was during their battle with Kunzite; Mamoru had taken a hit for Usagi and in her hysterical rage she turned into the beautiful princess Serenity. It was also revealed that Mamoru was the prince of Earth, the same prince that loved Serenity more than life itself. Parts of their memories returned to them all. They remembered who they were back in the silver days, living on the moon as guardians for the princess, and them being the wielders of the inner planets' legendary powers. They remember being happy, until Queen Beryl attacked with an army of brainwashed earthlings and destroyed the glorious era. They remember dying but not how or by whom, there were still many blanks in their heads which did not matter at the moment.

Luna and Artemis were glad that the senshi fought back against Kunzite and brought Usagi and Mamoru back safely with the legendary silver crystal. Thanks to the crystal's healing powers, the young lovers were soon up and walking again… well, kissing more than walking.

Ever since the reveal, Usagi had been confused about who she really was. Serenity or Usagi, it did not matter to her friends.

''We know that,'' Rei, Sailor Mars said as she held her long raven locks back from hitting her face in the strong wind. ''But we are still your guardians,'' she smiled. ''Let us attack first and then when you are ready, turn it to dust.''

''Rei, we don't know what it is,'' said Jupiter. ''We might not have to attack at all.''

''Well, we will find out very soon,'' said Mercury and pointed ahead of them. ''The pulse is coming from over there.''

Everyone's heads turned towards where the blue haired senshi was pointing. Not far away was a medium sized cliff rock covered by thick layers of ice and snow.
The other senshi followed behind Mercury, slowly. If there was danger here they had to be careful. After passing one side of the cliff, they all gasped in shock. They all jumped back.

There was a cave in the rocks. But where a dark entrance hole was supposed to be, was a swirling purple energy light.
The senshi realized that whatever it was, it was pulling in anything that came close to it, since the snow dancing in the storm seemed to be sucked into the hole.
The energy shifted colors time to time, still swirling, still radiating dark light. Was the Dark Kingdom behind this? What was it?

Mercury began scanning it on her computer.

''Well, what do you think Ami-chan?'' Usagi whimpered, hiding behind Sailor Mars.

Ami frowned, ''It is…''

''It is what? Is it evil?'' Makoto's tiara released its antenna and sparked with lightning, ready to attack.

''Stand your ground, Jupiter,'' Minako ordered and Jupiter obeyed, but she was still on guard.

The fire senshi stepped forward, ''I don't sense anything evil from it.''

''Exactly,'' Ami answered. ''It reads no negative energy. Just… the word Dark''

''Dark?'' said Minako, her eyes narrowing. ''As in… the Dark Kingdom?''

''No, Dark as in Darkness… And the way it is sucking…'' she felt the pull of the hole, their hair and fuku skirts dancing in the wind, but they stood far away enough not to get pulled in by the force. ''I believe it's an opening… a portal.''

''Portal?'' Usagi gasped. ''A portal to what, and why would it be out here?''

Before Mercury could answer, bombs of green light fell from the sky, hitting the senshi and scattering them. They cried out as they all landed in the cold snow. The attack left burning bruises on their skins as if they had come in contact with fire, which is exactly what it had felt like. And the senshi were used to it, because they had encountered this attack several times before.

They all heard the familiar male laugh from above. They all lifted their head upwards and growled at their enemy.

Zoisite…

He wasn't alone. The other shitennou, Jadeite, Nephrite and Kunzite were with him, floating in the air. The four kings of the Dark Kingdom… the evil Queen Beryl's generals.

Zoisite was the third general the senshi had encountered, and he was the green fire bender of the group and he could also wield flower petals sharp as knives. He wore the usual dark grey uniform with a green trim. His long dark blonde hair was tied back in a low ponytail and he had piercing green eyes. He usually liked fighting dirty.
Next to him were Nephrite, the second, and Jadeite, the first, whose uniforms were identical to Zoisite's, except Jadeite had a blue trim and Nephrite had a red trim.
Jadeite had short curly bright blonde hair, sky-blue eyes, and he possessed the power of ice and illusions. He always saw a battle as a game.
Nephrite had long wavy brown hair as well as brown eyes. He could control shadows around him, bending them to his will and he also controlled lightning. He was the most aggressive of the generals.
The last one was Kunzite, their leader with long platinum hair and silver eyes. His uniform was similar with a purple trim, but the jacket had a v-shaped collar, he wore black shoes instead of boots and he wore a white cape. His power was to produce waves of tearing ... energy at the enemy.

They all laughed at the senshi's misery until Kunzite silenced them. He took a seat in the air as if there was an invisible chair, typical of his laidback style. ''Jadeite,'' he spoke in his calm, dark masculine voice. ''I think we all would appreciate not having snow in our eyes at the moment.''

Jadeite took the hint and with a snap of his fingers the snowstorm froze. The snowflakes stayed in the air as if time has stopped. The senshi actually gaped at the display of this power.

Venus shook her head and jumped to her feet. The other girls mimicked her moves. ''Everyone protect the princess!'' she ordered and all four took a defensive stand in front of Sailor Moon. ''You guys~!'' Moon wailed in protest as she now held the moon wand close to her chest, protecting the crystal attached to the wand.

''Sailor senshi…'' Kunzite spoke again. ''so you were the ones causing the disturbance in the energy field.''

''Us?'' Venus gritted her teeth. ''Like hell! You guys are the reason we are here!''

''What are you planning to do with that crazy thing over there?'' Jupiter demanded as she pointed behind her.

''We?'' Nephrite scoffed. ''Enough bullshit and confess, you damn senshi!'' He raised one hand and blasted a lightning attack at the girls who blocked the attack by summoning up a shield.

''Damn you!'' Nephrite cursed getting ready to fire another attack but was stopped by Kunzite. ''Keep your emotions at halt!'' he ordered.

''Typical Nephrite, temperamental as usual,'' Zoisite snickered as he played with a curl from his reddish blonde ponytail.

''Got something to say to me, pretty boy?'' Nephrite glared at the younger general.

''I honestly don't care about that mysterious source of energy,'' Jadeite smirked at Sailor Moon who was still hidden behind the other girls. ''Our mission is to retrieve the legendary silver crystal and kill the moon princess!''

Mars took a step forward, her eyes narrowing at the man. ''Over my dead body!'' she growled. Jadeite grinned with amusement at the burning look in her eyes he was well familiar with now, it got his juices flowing. ''That can be arranged.'' He blasted a number of ice spears at the fire senshi who avoided the attack by jumping away.

''Jadeite! I didn't order an attack!'' Kunzite roared, while the other generals laughed.

Mars answered Jadeite by shooting a fire arrow at him which burned his shoulder. Jadeite let out a howl in pain, before he jumped down on the icy ground and proceeded to fist fight with his enemy.

''Mars!'' Venus yelled. ''stop being so easily provoked!''

None of the warriors listened to their leader as they kept on attacking each other with their powers.

Both Venus and Kunzite sighed at the stubbornness, shrugged it off and ordered attack.

''Yes! Finally!'' Jupiter bellowed as she ran straight towards Nephrite, her antenna powering up. The general flicked his hand and his shadow detached from under him and then proceeded to swallow the amazon girl in darkness. He laughed at her screams from inside his trap.

Zoisite teleported up behind Mercury and caught her around her neck and waist, making her drop her small laptop which then disappeared into thin air.

''Well, looks like it's you and me, water nymph,'' Zoisite breathed into her ear.

Her voice answered, ''Not at all.'' But it came from behind him.
Zoisite turned his head, his eyes widened with surprise when he saw the real Sailor Mercury standing meters away.
Her duplicate faded away, leaving Zoi empty handed. He snickered, ''Three's a crowd, two is more fun.''
The blue senshi recognized his bloodthirsty look. Oh, why does he always choose her as his play thing? ''Oh, dear!'' she gasped before she was flung back by his fire bombs.

Venus and Kunzite were busy in a battle of strength. They pushed against each other, Venus with her chain and Kunzite with his sword. Finally, the yellow senshi got a great footing and was able to knock Kunzite away from her. He stumbled, and then looked up surprised at her, his head tilted slightly. Minako had never seen that look coming from the general, and she decided that it was creepy. She stood her ground with the chain in defense position, her chin tilted up in pride.

''I gotta say I'm impressed Lady Venus. You are strong,'' he said, making her smile with smugness. ''For a woman, that is.'' Her smile vanished. Oh, hell no! He did not just say that!

Venus roared, ''I'll show you, you man-pig!'' She threw her chain up in the air, making it act like a lasso and then shouted her attack. ''VENUS LOVE ME CHAIN!''

The chain didn't hit its target. Kunzite dodged the chain, and it continued its course forward and then… was pulled by the force from the portal.
Venus screamed out in fear. She tried to pull her chain back but the portal wasn't losing this tug war. Her orange heels were slowly gliding over the icy snow.

''Venus!'' The girls yelled after her in horror, halting their battle with the generals who had also frozen in place, looking on as the senshi of love was struggling.

Then, Minako lost her footing and fell down on her back, making an 'ofh!' sound, her chain somehow tying itself around her arm in the process. Now she was heading full speed, dragged towards the swirling hole. She screamed.

''NO!'' The senshi ran after her. Jupiter flew forward first and locked her arms around Minako's waist, pulling her up in a sitting position, but they were still being dragged. ''DAMN IT!''

''Hold on!'' ''V-chan!'' Moon and Mercury both took a hold on Jupiter but it was still no use. ''It's too strong!'' Ami yelled, the strong wind slapped her face.

They were just meters away from the dark hole; the other end of the love chain was gone inside. Then Mars finally caught up. ''Oh, no you don't!'' she found a grip around Usagi, and they were finally slowing down… but not enough. ''Serenity!'' Moon heard Venus call out. ''Let go! Save yourself and the crystal!''

''Never!'' Usagi cried, tugging as hard as she could. ''I will never leave you!''

They didn't even notice when the time frozen snowstorm released its full power again. Venus screamed and so did Jupiter when their bodies entered the opening, followed by Mercury and Moon. ''NO!'' Mars could still feel her princess on the other side. But even though she kept on trying to pull her friends back, the force would not let go, and she was going in with them. Sucks to die like this… Rei closed her eyes, ready for anything. But then she felt someone putting their arms around her waist. She opened her eyes and turned her head to look behind her.

''Jadeite?'' She gasped in shock. He was actually trying to save them?

''If anything is going to kill you, it's gonna be me!'' he growled and pulled. Rei looked at him with confusion. His blue eyes screamed of desperation, as if he was losing something precious. That thought was ridiculous, she convinced herself, to think he actually didn't want her to die. She didn't turn down his offer to help though.

''Are you insane?'' Nephrite flew down and took a grip on the already struggling general. ''Saving them now is just stupid!''

Zoisite materialized beside the largely built general. ''But sooo boring though, huh Neph?'' he also took a hold on Jadeite. ''I myself am not done with Mercury. You hear me in there?'' No answer. ''Damn!''

Mars took a big breath before she completely disappeared though the barrier, Jadeite soon followed.

''I can't believe I'm the commander of such idiots,'' Kunzite growled as he also materialized before them and brought his arms around the two still visible generals. This was all Venus's fault! If she had just let go of the damn thing!

The force of the portal seemed to have become stronger for it didn't take long before Kunzite was the only one still visible. Well… if they died or got stuck wherever they were going… at least they didn't have to listen to Queen Beryl's constant bickering anymore. That thought actually made the corners of his mouth move upwards.

And then… he disappeared.

The area which had been a battlefield filled with commotion just minutes ago, was now an empty, cold landscape. The only thing heard was the howling snowstorm.

A/N: I am really enjoying this as I write it, but do you like it? What is this portal? Are the senshi and shitennou dead? Want to find out? Add to alert :)
