Moonlight Legends

 

2000 years ago at the start of the Silver Millenium

 

    It was a beautiful evening for many reasons, partly because of the exceptionally beautiful weather but mostly because Placidity is being crowned Queen of the Moon Kingdom and ruler of the Solar System. This celebration is important for two other reasons as well. It marks the end of war and the presentation of the next heir, Princess Serinity. Also at the coranation are the royal families from all the planets. From the Princesses present, Princess Serinity's royal protectors will be chosen.

    "For hundreds of years the Moon has been torn apart by war", Queen Placidity begins, "but now I will use the power of my Silver Crystal to make the other planets habitable. All I request in return is one princess from each of your families to come here to protect Princess Serinity and to learn to work together for a better future."

    The first to come forth was King Ares, he and his people had chosen the planet Mars to live on.

    "Great Queen, my firstborn Princess Pyra, mistress of the Pheonix fire, has requested to become the Princess's protector."

    "For her courage she will be the leader of the other Senshi." Queen Placidity said with pride, knowing that Ares' people are among the bravest and the only ones able to command fire.

    "I would like to protect Princess Serinity, my Queen." a small voice from the corner spoke out.

    "Princess Solari, NO!!!!" King Solan shouted. "You cannot. You must stay with me and learn how to use the Solaris Crystal."

    "Father, I must do what my heart calls me to. I can do both. I will learn and I will protect the Princess."

    "If you must, my little one, then there is nothing I can say."

    "Princess Solari, you shall have your wish, you shall help protect my daughter."

    The next two were chosen quickly, Princess Terra of Earth and Princess Neva of Mercury.

    "Is there no one else?" Queen Placidity asks.

    "I wish to serve." a conffident voice answers from the door.

    As people gasp and turn, Princess Saianna of the Cosmos strides up to the throne and stands with the other princesses before the Queen.

    "To aid you all in protecting the Princess you will be given items that will increase your special powers and will make you stronger."

    At this Queen Placidity raises the Cresent Moon Wand and before her appears four different items. To Princess Pyra she hands a small wand with a ruby on top, to Princess Terra she hands a crystal called the Terran Earth Crystal, to Princess Glacier she hands a pale blue, star-shaped gem, to Princess Cosmos she hands a sun-shaped pendant with a moon superimposed on it. She then instructs them what to say:

"Phoenix Star Power,"

"Earth Crystal Power,"

"Glacier Ice Crystal Power,"

"Cosmic Prism Power,"

"Eternal Solar Power,"

"TRANSFORM!"

 

    After the transformations end the items change shape. Sailor Phoenix uses a spear called The Phoenix Claw, Sailor Earth has the Terran Staff, Sailor Glacier has the Ice Bow, and Sailor Cosmos has the Galaxy Sword.

    "These weapons are very powerful and must be used carefully." Queen Placidity says to the Senshi and to the crowd she says, "I present to you the Sailor Senshi, Guardians of Princess Serinity and of the kingdom."

    As the crowd erupts into applause the doors of the Great Hall slam open, revealing two women, both filled with evil and a black hatred of the golden haired queen and her silver haired child.

    "PLACIDITY, You, your child, and your pitiful Silver Millenium will fall!! I, Metallia, Queen of the Negaverse will see to it. I will have your Silver Empyrian Crystal for myself!!!!!" screams the tall, raven-haired woman.

    "That's what you think, Witch. I am Sailor Phoenix, and my fire will burn the evil from YOU!!!" Sailor Phoenix roars.

"Phoenix

Firestorm

Crash!!!!!"

    For 30 seconds the place where the two women stood was nothing but a chaos-filled vortex of fire. When it lifts Metallia and the mysterious red-haired woman still stood unharmed.

    "HAHAHAHAHA!!! Fool, you think you can beat me so easily. Placidity, sleep easy, for now, but I will come for the one thing you hold most precious, and I will destroy it. Come, Beryl, it's time to leave."

    "Yes, my Queen." Beryl said, then they turned and left as quickly as they arrived.

 

Several years later

    The six young women became good friends, each respected and admired for thier unique traits. Pyra grew into a firey, passionate woman, well-known for both her beauty and her temper. Terra was aknowledged as the strongest in the kingdom and a person anyone could depend on. Neva was both the most intelligent and the hardest to surprise.  Saianna was loyal, dependable, and a true friend.  While, Solari was fun-loving, caring, very excitable, and a well-known prankster. Serinity became dignified and elegant, a true princess. Queen Placidity, however, never forgot what happened at the coranation. She began hearing reports of attacks on the other planets.

In the Negaverse

"Everything is going according to your plan, Queen Metallia, Placidity is spreading her forces out to try to stop our attacks, leaving the Moon Kingdom defenseless." Beryl reported.

"Good. Tonight you and I will enter the palace and kill that pitiful Princess Serinity." Queen Metallia sneered.

That night at the Palace of the Moon

 

    "HEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!!!" Serinity screams.

    "Farewell, Princess." Metallia sneers as she raises her hands to blast the Princess.

    "Not so fast, Witch!" Pyra yells as she and the others run into the room.

"Phoenix Star Power"

"Earth Crystal Power"

"Glacier Ice Crystal Power"

"Cosmic Prism Power"

"TRANSFORM!"

    "In the name of the Silver Millenium, we will punish you!!" the Senshi shout in unison.

    "That's what you think!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Metallia shouts as she blasts the Senshi with dark energy.

"Phoenix Firesheild Surround!"

 

    The blast slams into Phoenix's sheild, nearly destroying it, but somehow Phoenix finds the energy to keep it up.

    "I'll protect the Princess, you'll have to stop Metallia and Beryl, quickly! I can't keep this shield up forever!" Phoenix gasps as another blasts slams into the shield.

    "Earth Magma Erupt!" yells Sailor Earth as she slams the Terran staff on the ground, causing molten rock and magma to shoot out toward Metallia.

    "Take that, Sailor Failure!" Beryl cries out as she throws a crystal spear straight into Sailor Earth's back. All that is heard is a small whimper as Sailor Earth falls to the ground, lifeless.

    "NNNNOOOOOOO!!!" Sailor Cosmos screams as she raises the Galaxy sword above her head and shouts:

    "Cosmic Doom!"

    The sword amplfies Cosmos' life energy and sends out a devestating blast leveling everything in front of it, killing both herself and Metallia.

    "Cosmos, nooooo!!!" cried out Phoenix. Beryl sees that her gaurd is down strikes and kills Sailor Phoenix. Sailor Glacier falls only a short while later, tricked by an illusion.

    "My friends you won't die in vain, I won't allow it." Solari said tearfully. She holds up the Solaris Crystal and says:

"Eternal Solar Power, Transform!"

    As the transformation ends and she becomes Eternal Sailor Sun, Queen Placidity arrives holds up the Cresent Moon wand and says "Cosmic Moon Power! I banish you Beryl, to another dimension, you and your evil."

    The crystal set on the Wand glows brightly and when the light fades Placidity falls to the ground. Serinity crawls over to her mother's side and tearfully says, "Mother, my friends, where are they?"

    "My daughter, they are trapped in the Crystal. It was the only way to save you all. They too would have been banished had I not drawn their souls into the Crystal. You must guard the Crystal......never......let......Beryl.....have....it" Placidity weakly says as her body fades from view.

    Serinity picks up the wand, holds it close to her and vows, "I will never let you win, Beryl, NEVER!!!"

 

1000 years later

The last battle

 

    Luna and Artemis have just been sent to earth 1000 years in the future to reactivate the Senshi and find Princess Serena. Queen Serinity summons Luna's brother, Apollo, to her, "Apollo, I have a special mission for you. I am sending the Sailor Legends to the future. You must find them.  Everything they will need will be there."

    "But, my Queen, it will kill you."

    "I know, but it will give them the chance for a life that Beryl denied them. They may also help my daughter and her court should Beryl ever escape. My friends....you....will....live.....again..." At that the crystal rises from Serinity's lifeless hands and shatters into twelve pieces, seven fly off to Earth, the others expand each piece with a young woman in a Sailor uniform inside. As they fly off, Apollo looks back, as a bubble surrounds him, at the once beautiful kingdom and the fading body of Queen Serinity.
