Alright, so, it's been a few years but I'm back with a new story. I've already got quite a bit of it written, but I'll be posting roughly once a week.
Summary: Escaping the 30th century, the Black Moon at her heels, Chibi-Usa calls for her mother and finds her: searching for the Nijizuishou and fighting the Dark Kingdom. The Senshi band together with Tuxedo Mask, but they can't hold both enemies on their own. The time some thought they had begins to run out, and through it all Usagi and Mamoru attempt to begin, or is it rekindle, their romance.
So here's the notes you can feel free to skip, but it'll explain my mash up on things. I'm following the 90's anime – but there's going to be overtones of the manga/Crystal. Mamoru is 17, not in college, he's attending Motto Azabu just like in the manga. Because yeah. Yeah. As the summary says, Chibi-Usa lands in the wrong time, so a lot of things change, which makes friendships and how people meet change. So some of this is me answering the question of what happens when you start your friendships and enemies differently. And some personalities are more based on manga.
And then you have Minako who is just...Minako.
I am following the manga's timeline for the first three series (right now I don't know if I'm doing two or three series!). Sailor Moon started in April 1992, we're going to be starting in early June 1992 with four Senshi and Mamoru, who has always known he is Tuxedo Mask.
Aaaaand, yes Chibi-Usa is a little snot for pulling a gun on Usagi. I mean...what the hell? But I think she always knew that Usagi and Mamoru were her parents (at least in the manga, not sure about the 90's anime?) but it wasn't until later that she realized they were Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask. But, different meetings, different circumstances, can you change fate?
Hey, let's find out.
CHANGED FATE
Chapter 1/?
"Wait, What? And HOW?"
It was Taboo. She knew this, she wasn't stupid, or ignorant of the Laws.
Maybe she was crazy, though. This was so dangerous. She fought the winds and the storms and just held herself in as tightly as possible. She couldn't cry. Her mother wouldn't want her to cry. She had to go somewhere safe. Somewhere she could be near her mother and father; somewhere she could find the most powerful Senshi.
Sailor Moon.
Yes. Papa had always said it: Sailor Moon would always help someone.
No matter what.
OoOoO
"So, they're like really out to enslave the world, steal our energy, in a world-ending type thing?" Mako asked as their mission was explained to her, clarified for the others.
"Unfortunately, that does seem to be their goal," Luna answered. "But that's why there are Senshi like you to stop it, Mako-chan!"
Sailor Jupiter was the newest addition to the team, as Kino Makoto, much to Usagi's pleasure. They had found the first Nijizuishou, and it had unfortunately gone to the Dark Kingdom. Zoisite, the new Shittenou who had presented himself. Usagi's new weapon, the Moon Stick, would hopefully make it so they were on top of catching the carriers first.
Usagi, sitting on a pillow on the ground of the technologically advanced room, raised her hand up high. "We've never lost a fight and with another Senshi, I don't see how we will now!"
Rei even had to bite her tongue to not say anything. She was right. They'd never lost. Not succeeded in all objectives sometimes...but no, never lost.
"Still," Mako breathed. "It's so weird. And so natural."
Ami nodded her agreement. "Like a piece of a puzzle falling into place."
Rei sighed. "And yet...something's nagging me. Like we haven't quite finished what we're looking for."
The three Senshi talked and Usagi tuned them out, and she did when Ami and Rei had talked about this in the past. It wasn't a feeling she shared. As she had just been named leader, maybe that had something to do with it. She wasn't sure.
She let out her breath and decided she had better get home. She still had homework to pretend she needed to do, and it was dinner time.
OoOoO
It was the next day. The next day! Sailor Moon screamed silently to herself. She had gone out with Naru and Umino and, of all people, a Catholic Priest was one of the Nijizuishou carriers. It frustrated her to no end. Jupiter was on her way, and she called Mercury and Mars, too. Until then, well, she was on her own.
It would be great if Tuxedo Mask would show up.
She dodged another attack from the youma, Boxy, as Luna gave her tips, which really weren't going to help when it came to a physical youma. She wasn't equipped to fight physically. That really seemed more Jupiter's thing, if she would just hurry!
Umino and Naru were, unfortunately, used to this and had run a long time ago.
Sailor Moon kept dodging but tripped on a toppled headstone.
Boxy was coming upon her and she cringed but felt familiar arms come around her, and she was airborne, which caused her to breathe easy.
"Seems a little more dangerous than normal, Sailor Moon," Tuxedo Mask said as they landed near to the church.
"You don't know the half of it," she mumbled. "Oh! Thank you." She beamed at him.
"Where is the Nijizuishou?" he asked. "Did Zoisite get it?"
Sailor Moon sighed internally. "I don't know. I had to get people out of the cemetery, and he's not exactly an easy opponent."
He frowned at her, clearly disappointed. Sailor Moon wanted to frown right back at him. It's not like she didn't need the Nijizuishou herself.
"SUPREME THUNDER!"
"FIRE SOUL!"
Tuxedo Mask hadn't been at the last battle, so he raised an eyebrow. "Thunder? A new Senshi?"
"Sailor Jupiter," Sailor Moon answered. "Hey! I need to find the Nijizuishou! Guys! Fight the youma, I'm gonna find Zoisite!" She ran in the other direction, followed by Tuxedo Mask, as the others tried to remind her that they couldn't change the youma back.
Mars sighed. "Great. So we'll just do this until she comes back."
"Mars, those Nijizuishou make the Ginzuishou. We need them," Mercury reminded her.
Mars mumbled something under her breath, and they continued the fight.
Not too far off, Tuxedo Mask was following Sailor Moon as she tried to track Zoisite. "So, are you our enemy?" She yelled behind her.
"I already told you that!"
She rounded a building and saw a gray uniform in the distance. She picked up speed. "Then you'll tell me who you are?"
"Once you tell me who you are!"
"HA!" Sailor Moon winked. "Alright, Zoisite, hand over the Nijizuishou!" Sailor Moon demanded as she arrived behind the Shittenou.
Zoisite turned around in shock, the red crystal in his hand, and Tuxedo Mask tackled him to the ground, the crystal flying out of his hand. For a moment, Sailor Moon fought with herself on if she should help, but then realized that the crystal was just sitting there. She snatched it from the ground and bounded off.
"WAIT, YOU BRAT!" Zoisite yelled.
Tuxedo Mask punched him in the mouth and then stood up, running after the girl once again.
How can she be so fast?
And then he watched her tuck the Nijizoushou into her bodysuit.
Yeah, there was no way he was getting that by physical force.
He watched from a safe distance as Sailor Moon did not destroy, but rather healed the youma. To his shock it had been a human. Anger bubbled up Tuxedo Mask's throat.
They'll stop at nothing to make their gains.
The Senshi were talking, scolding Sailor Moon until...yep...He watched her pull out the Nijizuishou from her suit and show it to the others. He jumped down just as they started congratulating her.
"That's mine, Sailor Moon," Tuxedo Mask said, his voice demanding and firm.
All four Senshi turned to him and within seconds changed their ranks to protect Sailor Moon and her Nijizuishou. She stuffed it back in her bodysuit and he again had to admit to himself he would not take it.
"Don't see your name carved on it, Tuxedo Mask," Jupiter said.
She was balanced on her feet, and light despite being much taller than the other girls. Tuxedo Mask could tell she had some kind of training. Mars, however, was sparking fire in her fingertips, so that worried him. Mercury...he just had this feeling he never wanted to make her mad and with her staring at him coolly, calculating. Yeah.
He stuck to addressing Sailor Moon, but knew he had to keep on his toes lest he be fried, crisped, or frozen.
"I attacked him and got him to drop it."
"I guess if you'd knocked him out faster you could have gotten it!"
"Sailor Moon, I need it. I have to find...Well, that's none of your business. I need that."
"Well we need it, too. So, when we're done with them, um, you can have them."
"What?"
A clap of thunder and strangely darkening sky startled the five super heroes. They looked up just in time to see a small cloud form into a circle. There was a flash and then just as quickly it was bright again, but something was falling.
Straight at Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon didn't have time to react and cried out when something that weighed at least forty pounds dropped right on top of her, crashing to the ground.
"What the hell just fell on me?!" Sailor Moon cried trying to sit up, despite that whatever had just happened had really hurt.
She felt another small hit, but more like a balloon had hit her.
"Luna-P!" an unfamiliar voice yelled.
Sailor Moon looked up and blinked, coming face to face with a pair of cinnamon colored eyes, which were filled with tears. Young eyes. She pulled back and the girl was wearing a dark blue sailor suit, she had pink hair that was actually pulled up into a modified odango style, like hers, and her face...
The little girl's lip wobbled and, despite that even Tuxedo Mask had joined the circle around Sailor Moon to assess the situation, she focused solely on the moon Senshi.
"You...You're Sailor Moon, aren't you?"
"Yes," Sailor Moon answered, smiling at the terrified child, who was clutching some sort of round toy. She was on the ground, eye-to-eye with her. "I'm Sailor Moon, these are the Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Mask. Are you hurt? What happened?"
"Sailor Moon...but I was supposed to go to Mama." She sniffed and wiped at her eyes. "I wanted to go to Mama! She has the Ginzuishou, and she can make it better. She can save it."
The Senshi and Tuxedo Mask, each after the Ginzuishou, began to ask many more questions.
"Who is your mother?"
"Where can we take you?"
"How do you know about the Ginzuishou?"
"What is your name?"
"Guys!" Sailor Moon snapped as the girl began to cry again. "She's been through something. Hey, don't listen to them. I'll help you find your Mama. But I can't help you until you tell me your name. You know mine, so that's only fair for friends, right?"
The child immediately perked up and she nodded. "My name is Usagi! Please, Sailor Moon, help me find my mama!"
"Sure, of course!" Sailor Moon ignored that she had her name, it was unusual, but surely not unheard of, right? "What's your mama's name?"
"Tsukino Usagi."
The Senshi were too stunned to speak, and it even took Tuxedo Mask a moment before he could form a coherent thought. "And Tsukino Usagi has the Ginzuishou?"
"Well, duh, she's the ruler of Silver Millennium." Everyone looked confused and Usagi huffed. "The Moon Princess." She said it as though it should be common knowledge.
Sailor Mars put up both her hands. "Wait, you're saying a girl named Tsukino Usagi is your mother, the Moon Princess. Nice try, but we happen to know that girl, and she's fourteen. Not your mother."
"The enemy must have sent her," Mercury said as she now began to scan the little girl.
"Hey...why don't you know that?" She asked. She looked at Sailor Moon. "Of course she'd have the Ginzuishou...I...I know about you because Daddy used to tell me story about you. And Tuxedo Mask. You two are um...umm..leg..legn..."
"Legends?" Tuxedo Mask supplied.
"Yeah."
Mercury looked over her computer, which was confirming that this girl wasn't filled with dark energy. She was just a normal little girl. "Usagi-chan...what year is it?"
Usagi, with her tired eyes answered quickly. "2902."
Sailor Moon, still in shock at this child, felt the date sink in. "You're from the future? Our future?" The girl nodded. "Did something happen?" She nodded and started crying again. Sailor Moon pulled her close. The teenagers exchanged looks, speaking without letting the girl hear them. They needed to help her, they needed answers.
"I'll take her home," Sailor Moon whispered. "We can talk to her later."
"No!"
"Maybe..."
Sailor Moon shook her head and stood with the little girl in her arms. "I'll make some excuse. She's not dangerous. I don't feel anything bad in her. Do you, Mars?" Mars hesitated but then reluctantly shook her head. "Mercury?" Another negative. "There. We'll find her mother later. We'll...figure things out." She faced Tuxedo Mask. "The Moon Princess is our responsibility. That's why we need the Nijizuishou. I can't give it to you."
"Well, I guess I can say we are on the same side then, Sailor Moon." Tuxedo Mask said with the shake of his head as he prepared to leave. "A trade. For information. Maybe once the child is settled we can... negotiate better arrangements when it comes to knowledge?"
So much was happening, too much. Tuxedo Mask, who was always dancing on the line of friend or foe. A daughter. Moon Princess. Ginzuishou. She knew she was supposed to act but she was still stuck back on the daughter part.
Mercury saw that Sailor Moon was more than overwhelmed and spoke up. "One that benefits us both." Sirens echoed in the distance. "We'll talk next time!"
The others agreed, knowing Luna was going to be absolutely livid, and Sailor Moon smiled. "Okay. Until then, though!"
All five of them went in a different direction, just in time for the police to finally show up.
OoOoO
Sailor Moon stopped and ducked into an abandoned shop after a few minutes. She set Usagi down and sighed, looking down at the girl, panic setting in. No dark energy, her name, her face! "Okay, um, it may seem like I'm freaking out, and it's because I am." She slapped her forehead. "Shit, are you kidding me? You're my daughter?!"
Usagi did a double take. "What? No! I'm Usagi's daughter! That's why I'm called Usagi, too."
Sighing, Sailor Moon let her transformation fade, and she was standing in her school uniform, her broach set on her bow. "I don't know why I wouldn't have told you, but, I am Tsukino Usagi. And I'm Sailor Moon." She grabbed both of her pigtails. "And now you're telling me I'm this Moon Princess we've been looking for?! How is that even possible?!"
The younger Usagi's mouth dropped and her eyes got wide. "Wow. Papa always told me stories about Sailor Moon, and how she was the strongest, most beautiful, most graceful Sailor Senshi ever. He never told me that...you were her."
Usagi blushed and laughed. "Well...that's so nice of you...wait. Who's your papa?"
"Even I'm smart enough to know I shouldn't tell you that. You should know."
"Well I don't, so...come on! Tell me, please?"
"No way!"
"Come on, Chibi-Usa!"
"Don't call me that!"
"Well, we can't call you 'Usagi.' Everyone will ask questions. And you need a back story. And what is that toy, anyway?" She studied it now that she could take the time. "It looks like Luna."
Chibi-Usa smiled. "It's something that was made by a good friend. I can use it to do a lot of things. Little tricks. Maybe I can play a mind trick so no one will ask who I am?"
"That's kinda mean. Why would you do that to people? Oh. OH." Usagi realized what she was talking about. "So, you gonna be my sister? Cousin? Cousin sounds good, right? Then we don't have to know each other our whole lives...Though I guess we will one day."
Chibi-Usa nodded and they began to walk out of the shop. Hesitantly she asked, "So you don't have the Ginzuishou?"
"No. We're looking for it. Do you know where it is? The other Nijizuishou?"
Chibi-Usa knew there was a way to call the Nijizuishou together without having to awaken all of them. She'd had talks with Mercury about the theory of it as a history lesson. And then shocked her mother by trying to talk about it with her! But, she was in the wrong place, the wrong time. She was changing history so much, she couldn't change such important things!
"You probably shouldn't tell me, huh?" Chibi-Usa shook her head. "Okay. But, am I really the Moon Princess?"
"Yep."
"What's my name?"
"Serenity."
"Wow. Someone was really not planning on my reincarnation."
To Be Continued...
So, fun? Not? Yes, romance will be coming in the future. I did just reveal a lot to Mamo-chan!
