The Day And Night Evolutions Series 1:

BLACK MOON

By Princess Destiny

Chapter Seven

Everything had been dim. It had felt as if he'd been drifting in a fog. But the, it had become clear...startlingly so. And yet, so much like a dream, that Mamoru was startled. He'd been in a-crash. His eyes blinked as he looked around. Everything was bright and colorful. A crowded room full of beautifully dressed people. Their clothes were strange though, not of this century. They all wore masks, dancing the haunting music of a hidden orchestra.

'Where am I?' he wondered. Even as he tried to sort out his thoughts, he saw her. She was standing against the long buffet table, looking lost. Her long white dress brushed the floor, but came off of her shoulders, revealing slender shoulders and porcelain skin. Her incredibly long golden hair was done up in two exquisite bun's, the remaining hair streaming down past her ankles.

Mamoru couldn't see her face past the half-mask. But then, he never had been able to see her clearly.

He had recognized her immediately, of course, though she was wearing a different dress. His dream Princess. Almost against his thoughts, his body started to move across the dace floor towards her. He moved with a smooth grace through the dancers. It startled Mamoru, who had never known himself to walk with such a... confidant manner. Like a panther stalking his prey.

As he reached her, his mouth twitched in amusement, quickly hidden in mockery as she turned at his words. "Are you going to eat something or stare at the pate all night?"

She said nothing, almost glaring at him. The man who had dared to speak to her in that mocking tone.

"I see that you have lost your tongue, my Lady." He murmured mockingly. To his delight, her back went up immediately and she responded with the spirit he knew she was hiding beneath the gentle air.

"I see that the gentleman has lost his manners!"

She stormed gracefully away from him and Mamoru was entranced. To see his elusive Princess up close! Before he had thought, he was striding closely after her. He watched, almost detached as he offered her a single rose. It was then that Mamoru realized that he was not in control. It wasn't even his body, he was merely a watcher...How had he summoned a rose from the thin air, he wondered with frustration.

He watched her delighted face, then the dream began to fade.

His eyes glanced up to the night sky, almost as if drawn and he saw...the Earth! He didn't even have time to gasp in fright or shock. Mamoru's body whirled away as he disappeared back into the ballroom, far faster than he would have thought he could move...

Reality came back with a sickening lurch. Mamoru gasped for breath, struggling to his feet. The Ballroom still swum before his eyes for a moment... until he hit something, staggering blindly into a hard object. It impacted with his soft skin, brining Mamoru back to his senses.

He blinked almost stupidly down at the arm of his sofa, almost expecting to see a buffet table. "What? Man, what a dream!" He laughed to himself, running a hand through his hair. It had taken him a moment, but now he recognized his apartment. Mamoru shivered involuntarily as a breeze cooled the naked flesh of his chest.

Naked...

"What!" He almost shouted, rushing towards the wall. He groped around for a moment, before finding the light-switch. The glow flooded the room, but Mamoru hadn't really needed it to tell him what he now saw. He was naked as the day he was born. And covered with blood and scratches. His wide eyes took in the vicious scratches along his hands, arms, feet and legs. They were so deep that blood had sprung to the surface in places.

The dark-haired man's eyes rose slowly as he remembered the breeze. Mamoru froze as he saw the glass window to his balcony. It had been smashed into tiny pieces.

"Oh god's." He groaned, sinking down onto a chair. He didn't even bother to slip on any clothes. From what his eyes had seen, the window had been broken inward. Which was, of course, impossible. His apartment was eight stories above the street! It could only have been him...though why he would have done it and...not remember...

Suddenly, flashes of him riding his bike came to him. He had gone to Tokyo Bay to look down at the ocean from the cliffs. Mamoru remembered abruptly. He'd hit a woman, been flung to the ground with broken bones and bleeding limbs. How he'd been dying.

His eyes widened, their blue darkening to almost black as he stared down at himself. Almost as if he sensed it, he looked out at the sky and saw the night lightening into dawn. The sun was rising. He'd gone for the ride just after sunset...so what had he been doing all night?

"What is going on?" The upperclassman whispered, truly afraid. It wasn't the first time he'd had black-outs like this. It had happened several times over the last few months and it scared him more than he would have admitted to anyone. As a medical student, he knew his injuries had been fatal and yet...Mamoru stared down at his badly scratched body with perplexity.

"I was dying and yet, here I am with nothing more wrong with me than scratches." Mamoru sighed, his mind swimming. A vision formed suddenly and he remembered the dream, also, having seen the Princess in the Moon before losing consciousness. A smile broke reluctantly over his mouth, despite the frightening situation. She'd been watching over him.

"My guardian Angel," He whispered, watching the sun rise. "You were watching over me after all."

The spirit of Queen Serenity slowly materialized, forming right before Pluto like an angel. The pure lights of the soul coming together was one of the most beautiful things that Pluto had ever seen. Though she remained silent, even after her Queen had materialized fully.

The beautiful, silver-haired Queen looked at her friend questioningly. "Pluto, is there something wrong?" Serenity said gently, seeing a look of acute pain and desolation in the green-haired Senshi's eyes.

Pluto closed her beautiful red eyes for a moment, almost as if she could not find the words...or was afraid to utter them.

It was this, more than her silence that made Serenity's heart suddenly clench in fear. That the Guardian of Time was hiding something, was clear.

"Serenity... I want to show you something. I have only just regained control of the Time Portals." Pluto gestured, her Time Staff appearing in her hands. The garnet Orb glowed brightly as the black wall to their left swirled and a vision appeared within. A vision of horror. The Planet they stared silently at was desolated. The sky was red and black with toxic gases, the earth hard and rocky, red sand blowing across it.

Serenity knew that nothing could be living on that world. Queen Serenity's beautiful eyes widened, the silver in them darkening with horror. "By the Gods Pluto!" She gasped, a hand shooting up to cover her mouth. "What happened here?"

The Senshi was staring with an equal horror, the a strange resignation and defeat appeared in her eyes. Her head bowed for a moment. Then, the face was raised proudly, hard purpose in the red eyes.

"It-it looks like Mars-but more desolate." Serenity stammered softly. Her eyes sought out the barren planet. It looked as if a huge hole had appeared in the center of the world. It covered most of the planet, leaving nothing but devastation and death in it's wake. Toxic gases swirled across the rocky terrain and Serenity knew there was not a living thing on what had once been a beautiful planet.

"It is Mars in a way," Pluto said grimly. She stepped a little closer to the portal, half-reaching up a hand to touch it, but then let her fingers fall back to her side gently. "Mars was once like Earth, many Millions of years ago, Serenity. Until an asteroid hit it. It was half the asteroid that hit Earth and destroyed the dinosaurs."

"What?" The Queen's spirit gasped in surprise, never having heard this before. As far as anyone of the Silver Millennium could remember, Mars had always been as it was. Her silver eyes turned back to the portal, questioningly. "This is what...happened to Earth?"

"Yes." Sailor Pluto's head barely moved. Her red eyes were deep with a grief that Serenity could feel in her bones.

"And then, there was an Ice-age...wasn't there? And human's began to populate the Earth." Serenity frowned, trying to remember her lessons. It was so far in the past-the silence from Pluto became almost palpable. Serenity looked at her with a sudden dread. Sailor Pluto's grip on her staff tightened till Serenity thought it might snap.

"Serenity...this is the Earth of the future." Pluto fairly whispered, the words falling from her lips like lead.

"What?" Serenity almost screamed. Earth-it couldn't be! "What happened here Pluto, where is Crystal Tokyo." Serenity swallowed her fear. "Where is my daughter?"

"I-" Pluto began. She gestured and the vision in the vortex changed to one of modern day Tokyo.

The silver-haired woman watched the busy streets and people questioningly.

"This is Tokyo, year 2002." Pluto began quietly.

As Serenity watched, the sky became dark. The sun was blocked from the sky. There was a terrifying sound as the entire planet shook from a massive explosion. She could hear the screams, the fires, the fear. The sky became visible for one brief moment before toxic gases covered it forever.

"What happened?" Queen Serenity said in disbelief. Her daughter was there, with her Senshi and her Prince.

Pluto waved her staff and the picture again changed.

Serenity's throat caught as she saw a loved figure appear. Eternal Sailor Moon stood, staring with a grim determination as a noxious cloud of gas approached where she stood on a high mountain. Her Senshi were all behind her, from the Inners to the Illusive Outers. Even Pluto herself was there. "But-" Serenity began, confused.

"It is the future, Serenity," Pluto explained. She smiled slightly and shook her head at her Queen's slightly confused expression. "I am at the Time Gate, as well as there."

"Oh," Queen Serenity frowned lightly, turning back to the vision. As she watched, her daughter became the Princess, Endymion appearing at her side. Each Senshi also became their Princess Selves, clad in long dresses of their planet colors. Prince Endymion put his arm around his Princess, giving her such a look of complete love and trust and Queen Serenity's throat caught. Each Princess the aligned themselves on each side of the Prince and Princess, a hand touching a shoulder until they were all linked in power and love.

"Moon Crystal Power!"

"Earth Power!"

"Mars Crystal Power!

"Mercury Crystal Power!"

"Venus Crystal Power!"

"Jupiter Crystal Power!"

"Neptune Crystal Power!"

"Uranus Crystal Power"

"Saturn Crystal Power!"

"Pluto Crystal Power!"

Amazing amounts of power emerged from each girl, colored brightly with all the colors of the rainbow. The brightest was from Princess Serenity, who stood bathed in the pure white light from the Silver Imperium Crystal cupped in her delicate hands. She raised it above her head until the dark sky was awash with beautiful multi-colored lights from each Princess. At the last moment, Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion were consumed in the Silver light from the Crystal. When it cleared, the future Queen and King of Crystal Tokyo stood there.

"She's so beautiful, my little girl." Queen Serenity whispered, seeing at last, the beautiful Queen her daughter would one day become.

Pluto nodded, her face just as proud. Though there was a strange sadness in them that Serenity could not understand.

"Millennium Crystal Power, Unite!" Neo Queen Serenity shouted in a strong voice.

Serenity's attention was taken back to the portal as everything exploded in rainbow lights, washing the Earth with it's brilliance. The picture disappeared, one appearing from above the planet itself. Queen serenity and Pluto watched with awe as the Earth was consumed, turning a brilliant blue. A stray light shot from the Earth, a brilliant pure white. It consumed the Moon. When it cleared, Serenity saw with awe, that the Moon Palace has been completely restored to all it's former glory.

"Pluto! My Kingdom." Serenity gasped, moving closer.

The green-haired woman reached out and stopped her, just short of her fingers touching the vortex. "Serenity!" Sailor Pluto snapped. "Have a care, this is not merely a picture, it is a Time Vortex. You will be thrown into that Time if you even touch the Portal for a second!"

Serenity opened her mouth to apologize when the Earth abruptly ceased it's glowing. Her mouth fell open as she saw the unnatural blue and white of the planet below. Pluto watched her Queen quietly for a moment and then spoke.

"To save the Earth from the damage of the Asteroid hitting, Neo Queen Serenity encased the Planet in eternal Ice for a thousand years." Pluto swept a hand to the vision of the Moon Palace, where Neo Queen Serenity and her King and Court had just reappeared. "Fully half the population of the Earth was destroyed by the Asteroid. Serenity encased the Earth so that it might heal over the next thousand years. She and her Senshi and King lived on the Moon Kingdom until the time, when the Silver Crystal was formed to bring about the salvation of the Earth. Crystal Tokyo."

"She truly is the Queen I always wished her to be," Queen Serenity lowered her eyes. "A better Queen than I."

Pluto walked over to her Queen, a hand raising to touch her cheek lightly. "Serenity, do not think of the past. You cannot change Time." The Senshi brushed back her long green hair, staring hard at the vortex that had now gone blank. "If not for your sacrifice, Princess Serenity and the others would never had survived and brought about the future."

"But-Something went wrong. Didn't it?" Queen Serenity asked. She turned her head and gave the Guardian of Time a despairing look. "That is why you have showed me this, is it not? I know the rules this much. Time has changed so drastically that you were able to reveal it to me?"

"You are right, my Queen," Pluto said grimly, stepping back from her Queen. She gestured abruptly and the picture of the barren wasteland that had once been the Earth, appeared again. "When the Planetary alignment happens in the year 2000. An asteroid belt near Jupiter is disrupted, a long-immense asteroid-breaking away from the rest. It takes two years for it to reach Earth. But by then, it has gathered so much speed that the Terran's could not even detect it. The Earth is hit before anyone knows what has happened."

"That is what happened?" Queen Serenity frowned lightly, her shoulders back as she gazed at the vision of destruction. "But as you showed me, my daughter saved the Earth."

"That, was how it was meant to be. The proper reality for the Queen and her Senshi," Sailor Pluto's eyes flashed with a rage that almost frightened Queen Serenity. "This, however, is now a very great reality for the Future Queen and the Earth. Something changed. Something back in the past, a few years before the Asteroid hit."

Queen Serenity gazed in fear. But it was a fear for her daughter and the people of Earth. Was this what she had sacrificed herself for? Was this what her daughter and Senshi had died, in the fight against Beryl for? "This cannot be..." She whispered. Her hands gripped together, silver eyes determined.

"But it has." Pluto said, facing her Queen fully. The Vortex went dark, silence reigning abruptly. "It has already happened-and to the Princess herself. We must quickly discover what it is and aid her."

Queen Serenity gestured helplessly. "But how? I can leave this place, but briefly. And you cannot leave at all, for a very many years."

Pluto nodded, eyes hesitant.

Serenity watched her, slightly confused. She had never seen the Senshi act thus. Sailor Pluto was very rarely hesitant about anything.

"What is it?" Serenity spoke softly.

Pluto slowly raised her eyes to her Queen's, a bleak determination in them. "There is only one option. If the Earth cannot be saved, nor the Princess-"

"No," Queen Serenity cried out in horror, immediately seeing what the Senshi of Time was saying. "You cannot do this! It is not the Time and perhaps never will be!"

"There is no other choice. This end of the Solar System must never come about," Pluto gestured harshly and the picture of the devastate Earth reappeared before Queen Serenity's anguished eyes. "There is nothing living on this Planet. Not even in the entire Solar System or any other."

"My-daughter? Her Senshi...Endymion?" Serenity said weakly.

Pluto shook her head.

"They are all dead, Serenity." The Senshi walked closer, reaching out a hand to force her Queen's face up. Here, in this place where all time converged, the Queen could be a solid matter. Here she could touch and feel and keep Pluto company for all eternity-though it had not been so before Pluto had regained control of the Time Gate. That the silver-haired Queen was becoming-solid- was proof that all of time was disrupting.

Pluto did not want to think of the repercussions-if the Queen were to become...human again.

But Serenity had never been meant to witness her daughters destruction.

"You know what I must do." Pluto murmured softly.

Serenity's eyes filled for a moment. Her eyes turned towards the Earth, seeing the desolation. Her shoulders straightened suddenly, determination in her eyes. In them, Pluto saw her Queen, the strong, beautiful woman who had guarded over everyone in the Solar system with such love. So much love that she had given her life to make sure their worlds would survive. Serenity took a deep breath, eyes locked on Pluto's.

"Do it, Pluto. Do what you must...for the future."
