Part 1

Crystal Tokyo, the 30th Century.

Neo-Queen Serenity stood on the balcony of

the crystal palace looking over the rebuilding that

was still going around the city following the

negaverse attack years ago. She looked on

solemnly. The door opened. She turned.

The four Neo-Sailor Scouts stood there.

"Have you brought news of King

Endymion?" Serenity asked.

"We're sorry, no," Neo-Sailor Mars said.

"But you must know something...." Serenity

said.

"We haven't heard from him in days," Neo-

Sailor Jupiter said.

"There is another problem your highness,"

Neo-Sailor Mercury said.

"Which is?" Neo-Queen Serenity said

solemnly.

"We believe that queen Nehelenia has

escaped her mirror prison. She was seen earlier

today," Neo-Sailor Mercury said.

"Nehelenia! Oh no...not..now...we didn't

need it now!"

"We will take care of her your highness,"

Neo-Sailor Venus said.

"You may not be able to do it alone, you'll

need me...but I don't know if I can..."

"You're majesty, of course you can," Neo-

Venus said.

"No..you don't understand...you don't

understand! Please..stop her...for me," Serenity

said. The four nodded and headed out the door

exchanging concerned looks.

And in the 20th Century. It was Sunday.

Serena slowly woke up.

"Ehh...is it noon yet?" she asked.

"Serena, it's two o clock in the afternoon,"

Luna said.

"Oh...I overslept then.." Serena said.

"Yes.."

"Oh well," Serena said and climbed out of

bed.

"I'm surprised you don't just go into

hibernation," Luna said.

"Luna..humans can't do that. Or can they?"

"Not since I last checked."

"Oh..well..so I can't."

"Don't get your hopes up," Luna said.

"I wasn't," Serena said.

There was a flash of light.

"Huh?" Serena said.

"What was that?" Luna said.

Serena's closet door slid open.

"Ah..it stinks in there," a pink haired girl

said emerging from it.

"Wha? Hey, you look like..." Serena said

looking at a slightly older girl.

"I'm Rini you imbecile!" the girl snapped.

"You!" Serena said. "What do you want?"

"Don't yell at me Meatball Head!"

"I'll meatball head you!" Serena said.

"Rini, what are you doing here?" Luna

asked.

"I've got a message from the future. It's

about my mother."

"You mean me?" Serena asked.

"No..my mother."

"Serena...don't bother," Luna said.

Rini pressed a button on her Luna P robot

cat head. A projection came out of it.

"Sailor Moon...you're presence along with

the Sailor Scouts, Tuxedo Mask and your Guardian

Scouts, is required in Crystal Tokyo," a semi

familiar voice said."We are under attack by Queen

Nehelenia, and I fear that her forces are extremely

great. Neo-Queen Serenity is in no condition to fight

and King Endymion is missing. Please...hurry."

"Who was that?" Serena asked.

"That was Sailor Saturn," Rini said. "But

there's no time for introductions."

"We need to call Setsuna," Luna said.

"She's already waiting at the gate of time,"

Rini said. "Just get your friends together and let's

go."

"Okay, okay," Serena said and pulled out her

communicator.

Soon Artemas, Luna, the five Sailor Scouts,

four Guardian Scouts and Tuxedo Mask were

standing up at Raye's temple.

"Say..how are we going to explain all of our

disappearances," Venus asked.

"Sailor Pluto will take care of all that," Rini

said bluntly "Now let's go.." she said and pulled out

her key.

"Magic Key! Take us all to the future!"

The group was enveloped in energy. They

then appeared in the swirling mists of the pathway

to time. The mist began to clear and the group

stood in front of the gate to time.

"Well this is interesting," Neptune said.

"Greetings scouts," Sailor Pluto said.

"Is this your new part time job Pluto?"

Neptune said.

"Will you shut up!" Rini said.

"Ehh.." Neptune said.

The doors to the future opened up.

"Hurry..I'll take care of everything back

home," Sailor Pluto said. The scouts jumped into

the portal.

They soon appeared in Crystal Tokyo.

"Well it looks better then it did last time,"

Sailor Moon said.

"Yeah, the buildings are still intact," Tuxedo

Mask said.

"We've gotta get to the palace," Rini said

and the group took off at a jog.

"Maverick didn't tell us anything about

this," Guardian Uranus said.

"Look at that colored light," Guardian

Saturn said pointing at a multicolored wall of

energy around the perimeter of the city.

"That must be the other Sailor Scouts, they

must have had to put up another energy shield,"

Mercury said.

There was an explosion.

The group hurried to the palace.

To their surprise they found Sailor Pluto

standing in the middle of the main hall.

"I'm this century's Sailor Pluto...I don't

have much time before I have to replace your

century's Sailor Pluto at the gate, but I have to lead

you to the underground base."

The group soon were descending down a set

of crystal stairs until they reached the control room.

Two figures stood there. One had Sailor

Saturn's short cut black hair, but was wearing a long

cloak over her shoulders. The other wore the

familiar grey and blue uniform of Maverick, though

it was different, the outfit was trimmed in black, and

four stripes adorned each of his arms.

"I must go to my troops!" he said and began

to turn.

Neo-Saturn grabbed his arm.

"You are needed here.." she said.

"I am needed there!"

"Maverick..." Neo-Saturn said.

Maverick finished his turn. The scouts all

noticed the scar running down the left side of his

face.

"Don't you two have better things to do then

argue?" Sailor Pluto asked.

"Yes," the two answered in unison and shot

glances at each other.

"Listen, I have to go, you two explain the

situation to them," Neo-Pluto said and strode out.

"It is fortunate that you have arrived. we are

in need of your services," Neo-Saturn said.

Maverick just scowled and turned back to the

control panel.

"We're under attack from Queen Nehelenia,

she's created an army as well as a force field around

our own to block out help from outside. Fortunately

she didn't count on us using the time portal," Neo-

Saturn said. "It's doubtful she even knows of its

existence. The Sailor Scouts have put up a

defensive shield, put it can only hold out

Nehelenia's attacks for so long and with her army of

minions punching against it, it's only a matter of

time unless we act. Maverick you are better with

the tactical standpoint, why don't you tell them?"

Maverick paused and then turned.

"The way things are stacked against us right

now...Nehelenia can gather strength from the rest of

the planet indefinitely. Eventually she'll get strong

enough to blast this city to pieces, she could also do

massive damage to the rest of the Earth if she chose

too, but that isn't really our concern at the moment,"

Maverick said and turned away again.

"Why not use the Silver Crystal?" Sailor

Moon asked.

"Neo-Queen Serenity is in bad shape. Six

years have passed since you were here last and

things have occurred during that time which have

affected her. Until she recovers, we can't use the

crystal," Neo-Sailor Saturn said.

"But I could," Sailor Moon said.

"It wouldn't do much good now," Saturn

said. "But it may be useful later."

"Our forces are in trouble in the northeast.

I'm going, you four with me!" Maverick said

pointing at the Guardians.

"Wha...why.." Neptune said.

"Are you here to help or not!" Maverick

barked. The four shrugged.

"Maverick get back here!" Neo-Saturn said.

"No," Maverick said and he headed out with

the Guardians.

"He's going to get himself injured again,"

Neo-Saturn said.

"But that's what he does right?" Sailor

Moon asked.

The other scouts nodded.

"So true," Neo-Saturn said.

"So, what's all this about the King

missing?" Tuxedo Mask asked.

"He left two weeks ago in a hurry for some

reason, we haven't heard from him since," Neo-

Sailor Saturn said. "That is partially why the Queen

is so upset."

"So you guys better go win this war so my

mother can get back to normal," Rini said. "I'm

going to the surface."

"Rini...you know that is unwise," Neo-

Saturn said.

"Well duh Saturn," Rini said and walked

out.

"She's even more of a brat then before,"

Sailor Moon said.

"Unfortunately she has not taken things

well," Neo-Saturn said. "I will explain things in

more detail later. Right now we could use your help

out there."

"So what's the tactical situation?" Saturn

asked as the group raced through the streets in a

crystal car.

"Nehelenia has hundreds of thousands of

troops attacking us, she converted them from the

human population I think...What we have to stop

them with is a few thousand crack troops, the four

Guardians as well as Sailors Uranus and Neptune,

our version of course."

"Maverick..why so few troops?" Saturn

asked.

"Queen Serenity wouldn't allow anymore,

figures that the crystal and the scouts can protect the

city well enough. She had her reasons. But, most of

the other cities on the planet have massive armed

forces. I told her we needed more troops, right now

I'm stuck with volunteers. The scouts are powerful,

but we're really outnumbered."

"We can help I think. I mean, we're not that

good at what we do, but hey if they're just humans

with guns or something," Neptune said.

"That's exactly what they are, laser guns at

least. They're using a stun setting on their weapons,

Nehelenia would prefer to stun our troops and

gather energy from them later. As you can see

there are a lot of them," Maverick said pointing over

the crest a large mass of men, numbering several

thousand, was rushing forward.

"NEPTUNE DEEP SUBMERGE!"

"URANUS WORLD SHAKING!"

Two attacks swept through them and leveled

entire columns.

The few troops that were their shot laser

blasts at the enemy as it swept forward.

Maverick's car swept through the scout's

barrier and set down. The five jumped out.

"Well...do what you do," Maverick said.

"Okay...." Saturn said. "Let's go to it guys."

The armed forces swept towards them.

"SATURN ICE RINGS BLAST!"

"NEPTUNE TRITON IMPALE!"

"PLUTO STORM FIST!"

"URANUS FIRE SPIKES ATTACK!"

The attacks flew across the air and smashed

into the wave blowing a massive hole in it. The

troops kept coming.

Maverick drew his sword. It lit up revealing

a massive blade.

"Wow," Neptune said.

"Our Maverick's got nothing like that,"

Pluto said.

Maverick swung his blade. A wave rippled

across the air and slammed through the troops. The

entire front line collapsed.

"URANUS WORLD SHAKING!"

"NEPTUNE DEEP SUBMERGE!"

More attacks broke through the column.

Suddenly it swelled and raced away.

Maverick swept his sword again and it

blasted through the troops knocking another wave

of them down.

"We were in control here Maverick," Neo-

Sailor Uranus said.

"Uranus, don't give me that," Maverick said.

"Now, heal these soldiers and keep up your

defense."

"Now we have a little bonus..the troops that

Nehelenia created," Maverick said to the Guardians.

"Neptune Healing Power!"

"Uranus healing power!"

"Will probably join us," Maverick said as

the unconscious enemy troops were covered in

energy.

"Oh wow," Guardian Neptune said.

Maverick pulled out his communicator.

"Neo-Guardian's come in."

"This is Guardian Saturn, we've driven back

an attack in the northwest. With what you could

call help from Sailor Mercury."

"Understood."

"This is Guardian Neptune, I was in control

Maverick, why'd you have to send Sailor Venus

and? I already have an upset stomach."

"What's your status?" Maverick barked.

"We won," Neo-Neptune snapped.

"This is Guardian Pluto. We were going to

win even before Sailor Jupiter showed up."

"Whatever," Maverick replied snidely.

"Guardian Uranus here. Sailor Mars showed

up. We must have wiped out an entire division of

Nehelenia's forces."

"Good, stay on it," Maverick said and turned

to the Guardians. "Would you all mind staying here

for a bit? We need backup.

"Sure," Saturn said.

"Except you Saturn...I want to talk to you."

"We'll be okay," Guardian Uranus said.

Maverick nodded and they headed off in the car.

Minutes later.

"What you will find. Guardian Saturn is that

the Neo-Scouts are not going to like you to varying

degrees. There are reasons for this, but you must

understand that it's nothing personal," Maverick

said. "While I would have preferred not calling you

all in, tactically it was necessary. The others don't

agree. And they'll take it out on you and the

Guardians, and probably the Sailors too."

"With Queen Serenity the way she is, just

who is in charge? You?"

"I'd rather not be, but...I'm at least the one

in charge of the fighting. Saturn seems less than

interested in leading, just holding me back."

"But, she has a point...if you are in

command, you shouldn't run off into the fight,"

Saturn said.

"I'll do whatever I need to!"

"You certainly are my confident."

"I have to be....now listen...it's important

that you and I coordinate our forces."

"Sure."

"I can only guess the Guardians are still in

their unenlightened mode?"

"We're not that good at fighting."

"I thought so. Still, we may just have to

push the envelope."

"How?"

"I don't know yet. There's something else.

You must tell the other scouts to not ask any of us

about the past."

"Oh."

"You will all be curious, but don't ask. The

scouts of this century have been through a lot. It's

important they keep as clear a mind set as possible."

"Oh, okay. I got it."

"Sailor Saturn will probably fill you all in

eventually, so just be patient."

"Uh sure."

At the palace.

"Did you see the Guardians, they were

so...different," Venus said.

"The scars on their faces," Mars said.

"They had different hairstyles too," Jupiter

said.

"And hair colors," Mercury said.

"And their personalities, I mean...he looked

like he hated me," Venus said.

"I saw a bit of resentment," Jupiter said.

"I wonder what made them like this," Mars

said.

"We don't know what they were doing

during the dark moon attack. Maybe it has

something to do with that," Mercury theorized.

In the underground control center.

"Why can't we just go confront Nehelenia?"

Sailor Moon said.

"You'd never get to her," Neo-Sailor Saturn

said. "We have to get rid of her underlings first."

"Is that even possible?" Tuxedo Mask said.

"I mean she can just create more, right?"

"There are ways of getting around that

problem," Saturn said. "Not without risk of course,

but there are ways."

"Oh..like what?" Sailor Moon said.

"We should wait for the others," Neo-

Saturn said.

"Haven't you stopped her yet?" Rini

muttered walking in the door.

"We just got here," Sailor Moon said.

"You must be patient Rini," Saturn said.

"Patient? When you showed up last time,

you at least did something," Rini said.

"But Rini the scouts just finished fighting

off Nehelenia," Tuxedo Mask said.

"So what have you two been doing?" Rini

said.

"I've been filling them in on what has

happened," Saturn said.

"Took you long enough," Rini said.

"Besides Rini, it is best not to let Nehelenia

know that Sailor Moon is here, for now." Saturn

said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Talk talk talk," Rini

said. "I'm getting tired of waiting you know."

She turned and walked out passed the

Sailors as they were coming in.

"Hello Rini," They all said.

"Quit talking and stop them!" Rini snapped

and headed off.

"Jeez...what's her problem?" Sailor Moon

asked.

"It's a long story," Saturn said. "There isn't

much you can do about it right now."

"Saturn, just what is going on with the Neo-

Guardians?" Mars asked.

"That is a question that doesn't need to be

answered yet," Saturn said.

Maverick and Guardian Saturn walked in.

"She could attack again at any moment,"

Maverick said.

"So we must keep this short," Neo-Sailor

Saturn said. "What is it you plan to do?"

"It's always up to me isn't it? You're the

prophet."

"Maverick do not take my powers so

lightly."

"Fine, fine, I've got a plan," Maverick said.

"I'm afraid it will not be easy on the emotions

though."

Later that night.

So...I'm to babysit you two," Neo-Uranus

said leaning against a wall. Sailor Mars and

Guardian Uranus stood in front of him.

"Actually you're babysitting yourself in a

way," Uranus said.

"You wanna know where we were when the

whole dark moon thing was going on," Neo-Uranus

said.

"We weren't going to ask," Mars said.

"But you want to know," Neo-Uranus said.

"I'll tell you where. We were lying unconscious on

the floor of the palace, why? Because we went up

against Rubeus and those four sisters and they

wiped the floor with us! That's why...we failed."

The two 20th century scout's eyes widened.

"Yeah...you see...oh we gave em trouble, but

it didn't mean a thing, because they still trashed the

city and it was up to you. It's nothing personal. But

I know you've felt the helplessness," he said

advancing towards Mars. "You watched me lying

dead on the ground unable to do a thing about it."

Mars' eyes widened again and a tear began

to form.

"Hey," Uranus said. "Don't bring that up."

"And why not?" Neo-Uranus said. "Imagine

that feeling on a scale of millions. It was my duty to

protect the Queen and the planet, and as I lay there

asleep, I didn't see the enemy being defeated, I saw

them in their moment of triumph!"

Mars sniffled.

"I'm sorry...I..." Mars said. "I know, it must

have been hard. I know the pain."

"Yes, you do," Neo-Uranus said. "Listen we

may have to work together, you will find me to be a

most irritable person. But otherwise, if you are here

to defend the city, then you're assistance is

welcomed, even though, once again we need you to

help us fight off an enemy."

"So you're okay with us?" Uranus asked.

"No, but I cannot change it, and as much as I

would like you two to go off and disappear, leaving

us to handle things, it would be irresponsible and

wrong to not accept your aid now that it is here,"

Neo-Uranus said.

"We appreciate that," Mars said. "And

listen...the scouts work as a team right? Even if we

are from different times, the goal is always that the

scouts, at least one of us wins the battle and

triumphs over the evil. If that happens, everyone

involved has done their part."

"Nice words, and perhaps you are correct,"

Neo-Uranus said. "But never mind that...you should

rest. We do not know when the next attack may

occur."

The two nodded.

"I never much liked either of you," Neo-

Neptune said.

"What?" Venus and Neptune asked in reply.

"As a person back then I was sub par. A

joker with no goals, no responsibility, and

you...Venus...well...there is only so much of you a

person can take."

"There's no need to get rude," Neptune said.

"Perhaps, but I am rude person, always have

been, always will be," Neo-Neptune said. "But you

two know that. Maverick says I should work with

you two," he paused and pulled a flower out of it's

vase.

"I'd rather not," he said and crushed the

petals.

"I'm beginning to dislike the idea of

working with you too buddy," Neptune said.

"Yeah, quit being such a jerk," Venus said.

"Always critical. You know Venus, I

wonder sometimes how you are so good at pointing

out everyone else problems and yet, can never ever

seem to recognize your own," Neo-Neptune said.

"Listen...you quit insulting her or I'll kick

your...um...you know what," Neptune said.

"I assure you a fight with me, or you, as you

might see it, would go my way. By that I mean...my

way," Neo-Neptune said pointing at himself.

"I'm not convinced," Neptune said.

"Please, both of you don't," Venus said.

"You two are such fools," Neo-Neptune

said. "Just wait for all the surprises that await you.

Oh, it'll just be a whole barrel of innocent idiocy.."

"What's with your vocabulary anyway?"

Neptune snapped.

"It has its uses," Neo-Neptune said. "Why

don't you two just run along and let me do what I

like."

"Fine with me," Venus muttered and walked

out.

"And what about you?" Neo-Neptune said.

"I think I'll stick around," Neptune said.

"Why?"

"It's not often I get a chance to a pain in the

neck to myself."

"Very true, but your lackluster attitude is

unappreciated."

"When did you...I... become such a snob

anyway?"

"The battle against the Dark Moon opened

my eyes. Gradually I began a transformation from

an annoying yutz to a civilized annoying yutz. It is

much more depressing."

"Well I'm glad to see I'll live up to all my

expectations."

"Ironic that you should say that. But I

suggest you leave now before I make it

involuntary," Neo-Neptune said. Neptune scowled

and headed out.

Jupiter and Pluto found Neo-Pluto in his

room. He was rummaging through a mess brought

on by part of the ceiling having collapsed.

"Wonderful place isn't it?" Neo-Pluto said

kicking at the various mementos that used to

decorate the room.

"So you two are assigned to me, for some

reason..." he said. "You see this window.."

He pointed to the glass that looked out over

the city. He formed a fist and smashed the window

apart.

"Not everything is crystal in this city. Good

thing too. Do you know how positively drab all this

crystal architecture is? I mean at least the outside is

just the old buildings, but this...just what do you

two want anyway?"

"We were told to meet with you," Jupiter

said.

"I don't talk much," Neo-Pluto said. "It's

not my way."

"I know that," Pluto said. "But we've been

told we should work together."

"Work together? Now there's a concept,"

Neo-Pluto said. "Tell you what. You two work

together..I'm going out to see what more misery I

can find."

He pushed past them and out the door.

"Not a pretty picture is it?" Jupiter said.

"What's worse is that I'm going to turn into

that guy.." Pluto said.

"Supposedly," Jupiter said.

"Supposedly?"

"Never mind, " Jupiter said. "Just a random

thought. Maybe we should try and talk to him some

more."

"I'm guessing it won't help."

"Hmm.."

As that happened Saturn and Mercury

approached Neo-Saturn's door. They could hear

sword shots from inside.

"Do you think he's in trouble?" Mercury

asked.

"No idea," Saturn said. They pushed open

the door quickly. Neo-Saturn was inside blasting

holes in the crystal of the wall with his sword.

"You didn't knock," Neo-Saturn said.

"Would you have heard us?" Saturn asked.

"No," Neo-Saturn said and lowered his

sword. "You know this isn't really a sword. After

all, no one is really cut with it. You blast them with

it, you stab them with it. But you don't cut them.

Yes you can slice through them, but it just hurts

them..not like a real sword."

"Uh...yeah...so?" Saturn asked.

"You know I've never killed anyone with

this. Never sunk my sword in through them and let

it shock them until the let out their last

cry...but...there's the potential," Neo-Saturn said.

"That's bloodthirsty," Mercury said in

shock.

"No...there's never any blood involved, just

death," Neo-Saturn said. "You know there are so

many ways to kill someone...especially without

powers. Of course you don't really know if you

could take a life, until you take a sword and walk up

to someone and...well...blasting them with some

bubbles or ice rings...that's easy to do, but this is

different," he said swinging his sword.

"I think you're going a little overboard

here," Saturn said.

"Yes, there's no reason to go this far,"

Mercury said.

"But I choose to," Neo-Saturn said. "It's for

the best. Believe me it is. Maverick needs someone

who is filled with Ice. The two of us...we're cold

blooded now...our fighting ability rises once we

attain that status."

"Uh...but..." Saturn said.

"I won't be held back by feelings of worry or

compassion. I am a true warrior now," Neo-Saturn

said.

"Why all this speech making!" Mercury

snapped. "What are you trying to prove?"

"I am trying to prove my dear Mercury, that

I am ready. You two will be there to watch me

prove it. This is war. And I am the warrior," Neo-

Saturn said. "Just wait and see what I am capable

of."

The other two walked out.

"This is really worrying me," Mercury said.

"What's happened to him...all of them? This isn't

right."

"Yeah I know, but I don't think we're going

to change them," Saturn said.

"I don't know. Somehow I wish there was

hope."

"So do I...but...I don't want to be like

that...any time...why couldn't this be prevented."

Neo-Saturn headed out his door.

"There's been another attack, come on, and

let me show you how to fight!" he shouted.

The other two shrugged and followed.
