Solaris Chapter 1: The Beginning

A/N: This is my newest story surrounding the WWE. I hope everyone likes it. This first chapter will be an introduction to our lead female and the backstory between her and Jon Good (Dean Ambrose/Jon Moxley). This is a WWE/Sailor Moon Crossover. Warnings: Language, violent scenes…maybe more later.

"Melody. Come on sweetie. Time to go see our new apartment."

"Coming Daddy!"

A young girl of about 6 or 7 years with fiery red/gold hair came bouncing out of a beat-up old pick-up truck as a tall black-haired man called to her. A willowy blonde woman joined them with a soft smile and together the small family walked into a slightly-better-than-run-down apartment building. When they reached their door the one across the hall opened and a rather hung-over woman and her young son stepped into view.

"You the new people?"

"Yes Ma'am. I'm Robert Black, this is my wife Melinda, and our little girl Melody."

"It's nice to meet you ma'am."

"Cute…"

The little boy watched his mother as she eyed the little girl, his own bright blue eyes narrowing and turning more of a green color as he saw the calculating look on her face before she went inside and slammed the door. He sighed softly and looked up at the two adults, his messy dishwater blonde hair falling into his eyes.

"Sorry about her…mom's a bit…yeah. I'm Jonathan Good…but I like Jon better."

He stuck out his little hand but ended up being shocked when little Melody wrapped her arms around him in a hug. It took him a little bit to react and hug her back, showing the two adults that the boy wasn't used to getting much affection at home. Jon was in a bit of shock…his own mother never hugged him but this little girl he'd only just met did so as if it were the most natural thing in the world…and to her it was. Melody could sometimes be shy in large groups but one-on-one she was a very open and loving person. Robert just watched the two interacting and glanced at his wife, the look on her face telling him that they'd be having that little boy around their place as often as possible. He knelt down in front of the boy and gave him a serious look.

"Jon. I know we've only just met you but I think you're a good boy, so I'd like to make you an offer. When Melody starts school with you I'd like very much if you could watch over her and keep her safe for me. In return you can come over to our place any time you want to get away from your own and have a nice home cooked meal…no questions asked. Sound good?"

"Is this some sort of trick? Why give so much for so little?"

"She's our only child and we can't have another one. I want her to be safe and I know this neighborhood isn't the best in the city…it's not the worst but still. Will you help me keep my little girl safe Jon?"

Jon eyed the man warily but when he looked at the big green eyes of Melody he caved and agreed. There was something about her that just drew him to her and he found that he wanted to keep her safe from all the evil he saw every day. When they started school they had to walk and Jon made sure to keep her hand in his and keep her close so none of the bad guys on the street would try to take her away. He didn't know that she was just a bit too young for the pimps to be interested in her yet, but he was wary all the same. It didn't take long for the two to become inseparable, and Jon spent most of his time at Melody's place to avoid his mother and her…activities.

When they turned 11 they started Middle School together and Melody had a vice-grip on Jon's hand because of her nerves. There were a lot of people she didn't know, and some she did. Jon stayed right next to her, refusing to separate even when their teachers tried to make him, eventually they gave up and left the two alone. A few older students tried to pick on them for being so close but Jon's fight first attitude quickly made them leave Melody alone. The three years of Middle School saw the two growing ever-closer, much to the delight of Melody's parents. They adored Jon and thought of him as family, and he saw them as his parents more than his own uncaring mother. They made sure he ate right, did his homework, got good grades, and stayed out of trouble…mostly. If he got in a fight while defending Melody or himself from a bully they let it slide, if he picked a fight for no reason it meant no dessert…and Melinda Black made delicious cake so Jon made sure to not be the one to start any fights.

When they were 14 one of his mother's customers broke Jon's arm and his mother refused to get him any help, preferring to just drink herself into a stupor. He ended up across the hall, knocking on the Black's door at 3 in the morning looking miserable. Robert took one look at his arm and carried him out to his tuck, Melinda following with a still half-asleep Melody trailing behind her. When Melody saw Jon's arm she rushed to his side and started crying while he tried to tell her it wasn't as bad as it looked.

"It looks pretty bad Jon…what happened? Why would someone do this to you?"

"Some guy that my mother was with tonight got mad at her and took it out on me…I guess he thought she'd care but whatever. I doesn't matter."

"Yes it does! No one should have to live like that Jon…especially not you. You're such a good person and you're so good to me…"

He just used his good arm to pull her in and kissed her forehead, whispering to her that he'd be just fine as long as he had her with him. In the front of the truck her parents smiled softly. When they got to the hospital the nurse assumed Jon was their son, which they didn't bother to correct her on. Jon just smiled at them, feeling accepted and cared about. They kept him at their place for the next week while he healed, but eventually he had to go back home. Melody didn't want him to go because she was afraid he'd get hurt again.

When they were about to graduate from 8th grade the worst week of their lives occurred. Melody's dad was shot trying to stop a robbery at a nearby store. He saved the life of the woman working there that night but was shot several times in the process and rushed to the hospital. He hung for a week, fighting to live for his family, but eventually his body couldn't fight any longer. He looked over at his little girl who hadn't left his side and ran a shaky hand through her fiery hair.

"Melody…my sweet girl…Daddy loves you…always…and forever…"

Those were the last words he ever spoke as the monitor flat lined. Melody sat there in shock until Jon pulled her into his arms and she cried. Her mother Melinda, shut down and stopped living. She stopped eating, stopped moving…she just sat at home and stared out the window until she too died about two weeks after her husband did. Melody was devastated and Jon was heartbroken. The two clung to each other for support. Jon's mother decided to adopt Melody, which Jon though was nice at first…until he found out her real reason for doing so.

When they started High School Jon discovered wrestling at a nearby training center and fell in love with it. He managed to talk Melody into joining him and learning with him. The two were fast learners and Melody was quick as she darted around the ring. The trainer was impressed with the two of them. Jon was a brawler and used a lot of heavy hitting moves, while Melody was a flyer and did a lot of beautiful aerial maneuvers. She had blossomed into a beautiful young woman with soft curves, bright green eyes, and that long red/gold hair. Jon had become even more protective of her when his mother tried to make Melody become a prostitute like her, he had been livid with her over the mere suggestion.

"She needs to earn some money to keep food on this table Jonathan!"

"No! I will not let you turn her into you. I won't let you ruin her life like that. Come on Melody, let's go."

He'd dragged Melody out of the apartment and they'd gone to the wrestling gym to let John work off his aggression. Melody was withdrawn for the next week or so and Jon hated seeing her like that. He kept running interference between her and his mother, keeping his mother as far away from Melody as he possibly could. When they turned 16 his mother brought a man to the apartment and informed them that he had paid her good money to take Melody's virginity. Something inside Jon had snapped at the terrified look on Melody's face when the man moved towards her. He started beating on the man and kicking him repeatedly until the police showed up and dragged him off of the bloody man. The man started to tell the police he wanted to press charges until Melody's soft voice spoke up and made the police eyeball the man like dog shit on the bottom of a shoe.

"He paid Jon's mom a bunch of money to…to take my…to…he wanted to sleep with me…I don't want to do that…I was scared and when he came at me Jon defended me…please officer…he didn't do anything wrong…he's my best friend."

The officer's looks softened toward the sweet girl and they assured her it would all be fine. They took everyone down to the station, separating the two adults and leaving Jon and Melody together because of how upset she became when they tried to separate them. Eventually they arrested the man and Jon's mother both, but because they were both 16 they were allowed to remain in the apartment and not with social services because the judge felt bad for them. On the way home Melody picked up a stray cat that looked as though it had seen better days. The sleek orange tom cat had been hissing wildly at a group of boys throwing things at it until Jon chased them off, when he turned around Melody had the cat in her arms and it was purring up a storm.

"Aww hell…guess we're taking him home with us then."

She'd hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek, not noticing the blush that turned his face red as she was already walking back towards home again. After about a week she'd suddenly decided to call the cat Apollo and, even though he had no idea why, Jon thought it kind of fit. He was positive that animal was far too intelligent to be a normal cat but whenever he mentioned it to Melody she'd just shrug and wave it off. She started disappearing at random times and coming home with odd cuts and bruises that she'd try to tell him were from tripping or something equally ridiculous. He knew what a bruise from a fist looked like, he'd given and received more than enough of them. It wasn't until they turned 18 that he finally found out what she'd been hiding from him when she came home limping with a bloody gash in her side. Jon had been fixing them a quick pasta dinner but dropped everything when she fell to the floor.

"Fuck Mel…who the hell did this to you? Have you been seeing some abusive fucker Mel? I can help you Baby just talk to me…tell me what happened? Please Mel?"

He noticed the cat giving Melody what he could only describe as a warning look before she spoke up, making the cat puff up a bit before it seemed to deflate and sulk at her.

"No Apollo…no more hiding. He deserves to know what's going on and he's the only person I trust. Jon…I need you to let me say everything without interrupting me…please?"

"Alright..."

"I know you watch the news every night so I know you've seen what's been happening both here and in Japan with weird monsters attacking people and draining them of energy…and girls our age in short skirts fighting them off. I'm one of them Jon…one of those girls…though thankfully I have a better outfit. We're called Planetary Guardians. Basically we're the reborn versions of ancient planetary princesses…and it's our job to protect this world from harm due to outside forces. That group's leader is Sailor Moon, she used to be known as Princess Serenity of the Lunar Kingdom during a time known as the Silver Millennium. When the Lunar Kingdom was attacked by rebels and almost everyone was killed the Queen, Selenity, used the power of the Imperium Silver Crystal to give everyone a second chance…by being reborn into this time and given new lives with no memory of our pasts. When Apollo awakened my powers he also restored my most basic memories but some things will remain blank until I find and awaken the people involved in those memories. My Royal Guard. I was once known as Princess Melody of the Solar Kingdom…cousin and best friend to Serenity. Now I'm just Melody Black, but I become Sailor Solaris in order to fight the things attacking our world. It's getting really hard to do it alone though…some of those things are really strong Jon…and I'm scared. Please say you're not afraid of me now…that you don't hate me…"

Jon pulled her into his lap and stroked her hair softly, murmuring gentle words in her ear to reassure her.

"I could never hate you Baby, never. I will never be afraid of you and I hope to god you never have to be afraid of me either. You're the most important person in my life and I will do whatever I can to help you…no matter what."

Jon glanced at the orange fur ball staring at him and raised an eyebrow at the cat. Apollo tilted his head to one side and then shocked Jon by speaking…in English.

"If you would allow I could do a quick scan to see if you might be one of the reborn…something about you seems familiar somehow."

Jon just stared at the cat for a long while until Melody gave him a gentle poke in the ribs, making him jump slightly and give her a playful glare.

"Yeah sure…can't get any more weird from here right?"

Jon stared as a sun symbol appeared on the cat's forehead, a matching symbol showing up on Melody's forehead as well. The two symbols glowed a bright red-orange color for a moment and Jon closed his eyes as a flood of memories overtook his mind. When they finally stopped he was on the ground and panting as if he'd run a marathon.

"Holy…fucking…hell…"

"I know…It takes it out of you. I passed out after he did it on me so at least you didn't do that."

Jon just gave her a little nudge in her side, frowning in concern when she hissed softly in pain…and then he remembered her injury.

"Shit…I forgot you're hurt…com on…let's get that cleaned up and bandaged before you get some kind of infection or something."

"It'll be fine Jon. It's really not as bad as it looks honest. It's a shallow cut and it'll heal by morning."

"Come again?"

"Planetary Guardians are blessed with rapid healing abilities. Things that would cause a normal person to be out of commission for weeks will only take maybe a few days to heal…bruises fade in a day or two and small cuts heal overnight. Have you not noticed that you heal faster than expected?"

"Well yeah fur ball…I just thought I had a hyperactive immune system or something…that's what the doc's said anyway."

"My name…is Apollo, Jonathan."

"Ugh…don't call me that fuzz butt. So…what happens now?"

"Now…you decide if you want to take up your previous role as one of my royal guards…or if you want to keep living a normal life."

"Mel…my life has never been normal and you damn well know it…I'm in Baby…let's do this shit."

The two became a seamless fighting unit both in and out of the ring. The two were soon picked up by a Pro Wrestling independent company known as CZW where Jon Good became Jon Moxley, and Melody Black became just Melody. The two were still inseparable and often worked together, and anytime one of the other men tried to hit on Melody Jon would tear them apart in a match. When one guy decided he didn't want to take her no for an answer and shoved her against a wall, attempting to force himself on her, Jon dragged him off and the two ended up fighting what was known as a Death Match that evening. It was an all-out, no rules, anything goes, no holds barred match. It was brutal and violent and Jon tore the man apart using anything he could get his hands one from barbed wire to light bulbs and more. The ring was littered with broken glass, tangled wires, and slippery blood. When it was over Jon was still able to stand up and walk out under his own power, slinging an arm around Melody and kissing her forehead as she looked over his injuries in worry. His opponent was not so lucky and had to be carted out via ambulance…he never returned to CZW after that match and was replaced by a young man from Cincinnati named Sam Johnston who became known as Sami Callihan. Sami hit it off almost immediately with Jon and Melody, and Jon soon decided to make them an official team called The Switchblade Conspiracy. Despite the fact that they were technically a heel team the fans were half and half on them…half hated the guys and half loved them…they all loved Melody though, even when she was playing the crazy bad girl role. The guys won the CZW Tag Team Championships rather quickly and established themselves as the craziest and most violent team in the company. Eventually the team was broken up by the higher-ups but Jon and Melody remained together, and Sami remained a close friend. Jon went on to win the CZW Championship and Melody won the CZW Women's Championship, making them the most dominant couple in the company. They eventually moved on to another company and another after that, bouncing around and rising to the top of every single place they went to until they finally got the call they'd been waiting for…the call from the WWE.
