SailorStar9: (sweatdrops) Another one of my plot bunnies. (Glares at three of the numerous white fluffy rabbits bouncing around.) Grr, I hate them, they gave me this idea last night.
Plot bunny No. 1: (blinks innocently) What, you don't like us? (Fake sniffle)
Plot bunny No. 2: (Puppy-dog eyes)
SailorStar9: (mutters) Must not look, must not look, must not look. Damn.
Plot bunnies: (grin)
SailorStar9: (sighs) Why me?
Summary: What if Princess Mercury's first mission was not to protect Princess Serenity, but a certain bearer of the Dragon-Fire (or is it Dragon-Flame?)? My very first Sailor Moon/Winx Club crossover. Read and review.
SailorStar9: (glares at plot bunnies) Happy now?

Prologue
"Amphitrite, come here." Queen Sumi IX gestured to her daughter.
"Hai, mother." Princess Amphitrite knelt respectfully in front of the regal queen.
Queen Sumi turned to the figure in the shadows, "I'll leave you two to talk." At that, the Mercurain queen stood up and retreated.
"Amphitrite." A feminine voice sounded from the background, as a figure appeared from the shadows.
The Mercurain princess gasped, "Pluto?" she questioned softly, standing up.
The elusive scout of time nodded.
"Is it time?" she asked.
Sailor Pluto looked at her, shocked, "Oh no, you're not going to the White Moon Kingdom, child."
Amphitrite blinked in surprise, "Then..."Sailor Pluto stepped forward and replied, "Touch the Garnet Orb Amphitrite, and learn your first mission."
Amphitrite nodded and did what she was told.
The moment Amphitrite touched the Orb, scene flashes appeared before her eyes.
Minutes later, Amphitrite blinked out of her trance.
"Pluto, what was that?" she asked softly.
"The last battle of Sparx, with Daphne sacrificing herself. The infant you saw, bears the Dragon-Fire, the most powerful object in the whole of the Magix realm. It has been sixteen years since that battle." Sailor Pluto explained.
Amphitrite then questioned, "What am I supposed to do?"
Sailor Pluto's facial expression turned stern, "Protect the bearer of the Dragon-Fire at all costs. Should the descendants of the Three Witches get their hands on the Dragon-Fire, then all is lost in the Magix realm."
Amphitrite nodded as her smile diminishing.
"I understand." She replied, in a 'do-not-mess-with-me' tone.
Sailor Pluto let out a small smile as Amphitrite when into 'warrior' mode. Of all the four Inner Senshi, Mercury was the most serious of the group. That was one of the main reasons, why she was chosen.
"And another reason," Sailor Pluto mused, as Amphitrite walked away to prepare, "was that Amphitrite has a hidden power deep inside her, and only by enrolling into Alfea, can she unleash that power."
"However, if Serenity found out, Amphitrite's new powers will be locked." Queen Sumi added, coming into the conversation.
Sailor Pluto sighed inaudibly, "Yes, indeed."
Queen Serenity IX had long believed that the rulers of the White Moon Kingdom were descendents of the all-powerful goddess, Selene. Because of that, she strongly believed that all were beneath the Moon Kingdom and she should rule all.
And for that reason, she refused to acknowledge any Senshi who has a higher power than she possess. If any one Senshi became more powerful, even by a hairline, Queen Serenity would use a spell to seal off that power.
Not only that, Queen Serenity also firmly believes that only the White Moon Kingdom could hold the most powerful object in the universe. Due to that reason, she would ruthlessly kill off anyone who possesses something that has more power than the Ginzuishou.
"If Serenity finds out about the Dragon-Fire..." Queen Sumi gasped.
"Then, the last heir to the throne of Sparx will be in danger." Sailor Pluto finished.
Queen Sumi nodded grimly.
"That's why it's essential for Amphitrite to be in Alfea to protect the Princess." Sailor Pluto said firmly.
Queen Sumi nodded.
"Sailor Pluto, I'm ready." Amphitrite announced, coming into the throne room.
The time scout nodded and waved the Time Staff. In an instant, the two scouts disappeared into the Time Gates.
"Setsuna, I see you've brought a visitor." A soft voice said from the mists of the Gates.
"Daphne, this is the protector I've promised." Sailor Pluto said.
A feminine figure, bathed entirely in bright golden light, spoke, "So, this is she."
Sailor Pluto nodded.
Amphitrite gasped, "It was you. You're the one from my dreams."
The female nodded, "Yes, even though I'm not alive, the Ember Tiara has brought you to me. Setsuna picked the right person."
"Amphitrite, hold out you transformation pen." Sailor Pluto ordered.
Amphitrite obeyed and willed out her pen that allowed her to transform into the Senshi of Mercury.
At the same time, the Ember Tiara appeared between Daphne's hands.
Amphitrite watched in shock and awe as the Tiara's gem floated out of its original place and entered the Mercurian symbol of her pen.
In a bright burst of light, the pen changed. Instead of a pen, it evolved into a lily-shaped crystal that attached itself to a chain. Then, the necklace floated into Amphitrite's open hand.
Sailor Pluto gasped at the sudden leap in power.
Turning to the former princess of Sparx, she said, "Daphne, this is..."
The elder princess nodded, "I just gave her the power of a Holy Senshi, the ultimate transformation that planetary Senshi have."
Sailor Pluto was silent. Raising the Time Staff, she created a portal before the Senshi of Mercury.
"Amphitrite, your mission starts now. I've already informed Principal Feragonda about your arrival." Sailor Pluto said.
"Sailor Pluto, one last question. How am I supposed to find the bearer of the Dragon-Fire?" Amphitrite asked.
The Time Scout smiled mysteriously, "You will, when the time is ripe."
Amphitrite nodded and stepped into the portal.
Upon exiting from the other side of the portal, Amphitrite found herself at the front gates of Alfea College for Fairies.
Amphitrite sighed in relief. "Well, at least Pluto didn't screw up this time." She thought.
Taking a deep breath, Amphitrite stopped at the college gates, which opened, emitting her in.
Arriving at the principal's office, Amphitrite knocked on the door.
"Come in, came Principal Feragonda's voice.
Amphitrite entered the office and bowed politely to the elder female.
"Ah, Princess Amphitrite of Mercury. It's rare that such a distinguished student should decide to enter Alfea College." Principal Feragonda noted.
Amphitrite answered, "Principal Feragonda, I assume Sailor Pluto has informed you of my purpose."
Griselda, the head of discipline retorted, "Do not speak to Principal Feragonda in such a manner."
However, Principal Feragonda waved it off, "She's right, Griselda. Princess Amphitrite has a purpose for coming to Alfea."
Giving her computer a quick glance, Principal Feragonda turned to the blue-haired princess in front of her, "Princess Amphitrite, I'm putting you in the top seniors' class, if that's agreeable."
Amphitrite nodded, "Of course."
Principal Feragonda clasped her hands in front of her, "Then, it's settled. You'll begin class tomorrow."
Amphitrite frowned, "How about today, Principal Feragonda?"
The female principal looked surprised, and smiled, "So, the rumors were true. You love to study."
Amphitrite smiled back, "That's me."
Principal Feragonda nodded, "Well then, you shall start today."
"Principal Feragonda, I have one last question. Where's my dorm room and my schedule?" Amphitrite asked.
Principal Feragonda smiled good-naturally and handed Amphitrite a piece of paper.
"Both your dormitory room number and your class schedule is here. Please prepare for class."
Amphitrite nodded and exited from the room.
SailorStar9: Well, that kinda of concludes the prologue of my very first Winx Club/Sailor Moon fic. Read and review. (Glares at three more plot bunnies hopping around in the background.)
