Chapter 1, A Question of Dreams
(This is my first attempt
at writing FanFic; this is also the beginning of a very large series so
the 1st few chapters will be an introduction of the new characters. Please
your feedback is important, I know how I want this to end but you may have
some major impact on what happens in the middle. My email is greg_of_the_3rd_rainbow_crystal@hotmail.com.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy.)
A boy of about 10 years stand in the middle of a hazy room. He is dressed in white, with a thin gold circlet around his forehead. He has brown hair and light blue eyes that appear almost silver. A man appears out of the shadows, his features are hidden, and he carries a small sword and a white cloak. "Your father commands you to come with me," he hand him the sword and puts the cloak over his shoulders.
A planet is seen, large explosions erupts from its surface. Energy can be seen racing out towards space, and the sounds of battle can be heard for miles. The planet shakes violently as a large fiery spot starts to grow. Then the planet flashes once and explodes. The sounds of battle stop as two lights shoot out in opposite directions.
Lightning strikes as a young
man of about 20 years of age jumps out of bed. He is dressed in a simple
white robe. He reaches down to pick up a samurai sword, and fastens the
belt around his waist. He lights a candle that reflects off his silvery
blue eyes.
A short man with a long silvery
beard quietly walks into the room. "Kioku, something is troubling you,
what is it?" The old man’s voice is filled with concern.
"I saw it again, grandfather."
"The dream again?" The old
man seems even more worried.
"Grandfather, it is more than
a dream!" His eyes flash as he turns around. "I'm sorry grandfather, it’s
just..."
The old man raises his hand.
"There is no need to explain." He shakes his head and leaves the room.
Kioku stands for a while in the middle of the room, then draws his sword,
does a quick slash and walks off. As he walks by the candle, an inch falls
off the top, hits the ground and goes out.
Asteroids can be seen against
a backdrop of stars. "Beautiful, isn't it?" a deep but quiet voice comes
out of nowhere.
The scene changes as the asteroids
are seen through a large circular window. A man dressed in all black kneels
in the center of the room. "Yes it is my master."
The deep voice comes again.
"A true testament to my power. Ha! They said I’d never do it. I remember
the look on my brother’s face when I started to rip the planet apart. My
only regret is that no one who has ever seen the planet is left alive.
It didn't even have a name; they just called it home. It makes one laugh,
but now only one planet in this system has life on it, and there my kingdom
shall arise."
"I'm late!!! Oh no not again...
Luna why didn't you get me up earlier." Usagi runs down the street leaving
a cloud of dust behind.
"Usagi your lunch... Oh that
girl." Luna just shook her head as she headed off with Usagi's lunch in
her mouth.
"Her mother was never like
that." A voice came from behind Luna.
"Artemis!" Luna turned around
to face the white cat. "You yourself would often remind the Queen of her
childhood and how she was in fact very similar."
"What are you talking about?"
Artemis feigns shock
-Flashback-
Queen Serenity is in her chambers talking to the two cats. "All the guests
you invited have arrived" Luna told the Queen "All that is except for Galaxia."
"I worry about her." The Queen replied almost sadly. "Her last battle with
Chaos, something happened, she seemed so different afterwards. Something
terrible must have happened, she left so quickly and then she just disappeared."
She was going to say more but a young 5 years old girl, with Odango hair
just like the Queen’s, ran into the room crying.
"Mars pushed me down mama."
"I did not!" Another girl in a red dress also 5 years old ran into the
room. "You ran into me, you klutz." She stuck her tongue out.
The young princess did also.
"Now there." The Queen picked up the little girl. "You must be careful
or you'll ruin your dress."
"Its pretty too." The little girl jumped down and spun around for her mother.
"Now off with you and behave until the party." The Queen laughed as she
said this.
"Ok!" The little girl smiled and ran out of the room.
The Queen just let out a happy little sigh. "I remember you at that age.
You were a lot like her."
"How could you Artemis" Luna replied.
"You were only a kitten when the Queen was that age!"
"Meowww!" Artemis yelled as Luna scratched his nose.
"Careful with the claws." The Queen just laughs. A ‘shooting star’ flies
past the window.
The inner senshi are gathered
at Rei's shrine to study. Mako who was looking at a magazine suddenly holds
it up. "Hey look at this." It’s an advertisement for the new Hikari Dojo
that just opened. "It says here that Master Hikari has been teaching martial
arts for almost 50 years. Classes are also taught by his Grandson Hikarino
Kioku."
"Cool" Usagi grabs the magazine.
"Maybe we should do this to keep in shape since we aren't fighting now."
Rei stares at Usagi surprised that she would suggest doing anything involving
work.
"The funny thing is," Mako
added, pointing to the picture of Master Hikarino. "He looks familiar."
Back in space the window now
shows Earth. "Go to the planet and seek out the people with the highest
potential then convert them to our cause."
"Yes my master," the figure
in black responded, stood up and disappeared.
"I'm going to go see Mamo-chan!"
Usagi announced as she got up.
"I thought you said we should
go to that new Dojo." Rei commented.
"You go on ahead, and tell
me what its like. Maybe I'll show up later."
"I expected as much." Rei and
the others left for the Dojo as Usagi left for Mamoru's apartment.
"Well I guess it’s expected;
especially since he just got back from school, and the break isn't that
long, so she wants to make the most of it." Ami took out a book after she
said this and started reading.
"These girls have an unusual
amount of energy, I will take them." The man in black jumped down in front
of them. "Good evening you are extremely strong I can tell, and now you
will join me." The man's eyes flashed and sent out a bright light that
covered the four girls, when it cleared they fell to the ground. "Now you
will come with me."
"I don't think so" Rei stands
up followed by the other girls who quickly transform. "For trying to force
people to join an evil cause I will not forgive you I am Sailor Mars on
behalf of Mars I will punish you." Mars uses her Burning Mandala attack,
but the strange man draws a sword and deflects the attack.
Strange, he thinks, their wills
must me greater than their strength. Never mind. "If you will not join
me than you will be destroyed!"
He raised his sword and brought
it down towards Jupiter who is the closest one to him. There is a loud
clash as metal strikes metal. The dark man jumps back to face a man dressed
in white; he has a sword in his hand, and a cape over his shoulders, his
brown hair blows in the wind, as he glares at the man dressed in black
with eyes the same colour as the blade of his sword.
"Fool!" the man in black laughs
as he forms a ball of energy and throughs it at the man in white. It hits
him in the chest and he starts to glow in a bright white light. The
man in black looks surprised. The white light grows stronger as it moves
to the sword. The sword bursts into a bright white flame.
"It is you who are foolish."
The men in white replies as he lunges forward with speed so great that
you can barely see. The sword thrusts through the man in black's shoulder.
He vanishes and appears on
the roof of a nearby building. "This is not over I will return!" Hate flashes
through his eyes as he disappears.
"Who are you?" Jupiter asks.
"I'm a friend, you will know
more when the time is right." With that the mysterious senshi disappeared.
Master Hikari greeted the girls
at the front of the Dojo. "Welcome, you will start lessons with my grandson,
maybe later he will pass you on to me."
With that Kioku walks up beside
his grandfather. "He looks so familiar." Mako exclaimed "Almost like my
old boyfriend!"
This is the end of chapter 1 so what did you think? Again my email is at the top of the page. I would also like to give a special thanks to Sailor Starlite, Ramahir, and Sailor Eowyn. Without there help this would have never got off the ground. Thanks again.
