Title: Introduction- An Ending's Beginning Author: ME! j/k AmazinGirl Rating: PG E-mail: AmazlnGirl@aol.com Hey people I would love to start this fanfic with a very special thank you to Madame Gwinya who gave me this wonderful idea. I definitely would have never gotten it one my own. (All right we don't need any comments on my level of intelligence added in here.) OH YEAH one more thing, this story is very twisted so keep following me here, it may start out gloomy but won't last forever. By the way if for some unknown reason you would wish to write to me. (I love e-mail but you people never send me any!) Write to AmazLnGirl@aol.com The wind blew and the rain howled, lightening crashed and thunder roared, but they didn't notice. Serena and her group of friends were in a basement club in the heart of Tokyo. Music thumped throughout the dimly lit rooms, pulsating with a monotonous beat. Serena took the pipe and lifted it up to her mouth. She took in a deep breath, no longer knowing or caring what she was doing. Once this poison had been inhaled she collapsed, her high friends not even noticing their dying friend. They too all over dosed that evening, leaving no one to reign over the glorious Crystal Tokyo. Leaving no one to save the world? 10 years earlier? Serena walked out her front door waving to her parents, before glancing down at her clock and realizing that she was late. She took off at light speed knowing that she couldn't be late again. Mrs. H would surely kill her if she were late again! She rounded the corner and slammed right into an awaiting Darien. "OH! You!" Serena said almost steaming at the mouth. "Can't you see that I'm already late with out having to bump into an imbecile like you!" Without waiting for an answer she turned, picked up her various objects, and left Darien unable to answer a single word. He quickly reached out his hand and caught her hand. Making her spin around to face him. Without knowing his strength they both landed yet again on the floor. A vortex opened beneath them and they sat in a cloud of fog, in a dark damp place. They both quickly stood up. Knowing not how they came to this strange place. "I am sorry princess," a voice that came through the fog called out. "I am so sorry." With that a figure came visible, and Sailor Pluto stepped into view and curtsied until she was on her knees. "I am sorry, but I am going to have to tell you more then I had ever expected. This was never foreseen, NEVER!" she said shivering with the last thought. Darien stood close to Serena both totally confused to what was happening before them. "Are you saying that I am a princess?" "Yes," Pluto "I better start at the beginning. I am Sailor Pluto, guardian of the gates of time. I have spent my whole life trying to preserve the time line, but I have failed in my duties to you, and I am so sorry. You see you are going to become Sailor Moon, the greatest warrior this universe has ever known. And you!" She said pointing to Darien (who was very, very, very much in shock). "You are going to be her protector, Tuxedo Mask, you will protect her with your life. You are a part of the most intricate team that people have ever had the pleasure of knowing. No, Princess, we wouldn't have let you two alone fight the evil that surrounds us. Fighting along your sides are Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Venus." One by one the girls stepped out of the mist and bowed to Serena and Darien. "You all fought marvelous monsters," she said. Opening a viewer to show the couple the horrible events that there fate had sent them through. The different ordeals with Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoicite, and Malachite, made Serena shiver with realization. When the final battle with Beryl appeared a tear shed down her face. Looking at herself at Darien's feet a beautiful locket the only thing keeping him from killing her. Darien wrapped his arms around her, his memory slowly seeping through his mind. Serena looked with a heavy heart as they defeated the Cardians, and then Alan and Ann. She wept as she saw Rini being captured by the Dark Moon, but smiled as she saw the battle was won. "You can see that the world would have never survived with you." She said looking on with misty eyes as well. "But your future self couldn't handle the ways of this life. She well? committed suicide. The others followed one by one. Leaving no one to protect the world from disasters like these. I have gone back in time to take you to the future. You? You? have to save the world."
