This is my first attempt in fanfic writing. Actually this is my first attempt in any type of writing. This story is based on the TV show and Not the magna. The new characters are mine but the others are Naoko Takeuchi's. So don't sue me, ok? Alright send all flames, comments, and other stuff to jocof@prodigy.net Enough of me talking, happy reading! (I hope) Chapter one "Err, Err, Err" sounded Serena's alarm clock as she reached towards it. As she slammed her hand down on it her arm smacked Luna in to the bed. After spiting out the comforter that was forced into her mouth she jumped on Serena and said, "Get up lazy bones. Yesterday you promised your mother you would go to the store for her, and there is a scout meeting at 2:00." " Oh, come on Luna. Can't a girl get her beauty sleep?" "Ouch!" Serena shrilled as she examined the area in which she was bitten. "I'm up okay? Gessss!" After a shower Serena was off to the local super market. On her way there, as usual, she bumped into a girl. "Watch where you're going!" "Oh, sorry. Hey I haven't seen you before, are you new around here?" "Yes. Uh me and my brother Michael moved in to an apartment just around the corner" "Hey Darien lives there too," she thought out loud. " Oh how rude of me. I am Serena. My boyfriend Darien lives in your building." "I am called Mary" "Well Mary would you like to go to the super market with me?" "Sure, and after that could you show me the nearest food shop. I told Michael that I would pick up something for lunch." Serena agreed and they went off towards the market. After purchasing Serena's groceries and Mary's lunch they went to visit Darien. "Helloo, anyone home!" Darien answered the door looking tiered." Hey sleepy head I brought a friend. This is Mary she and her brother Michael moved into your building." "Hello" "He.... Hello" Mary was overwhelmed by Darien's looks. She instantly fell in love with him but caught herself from gazing too hard. He let them in and served the some cookies. As usual Serena scarffed them down before Mary could get even one. Luckily Darien was prepared and brought out two more bowls for each Serena and Mary. "So where did you move here from Mary?" "Uh?me and Michael come from Africa. He got excepted to the special art school here. My parents sent me along for the learning experience." "Wow, he must be a great drawer than." It was almost impossible to understand her with all the cookies she had crammed into her mouth. "Which reminds me, Serena I better get home with this lunch, I bet Michael has been waiting forever for me." "Okay then Darien I'll see you later" Darien gave Serena a tight squeeze and her and Mary were off. "So where is your apartment?" "Up a floor from here. Are you sure you want to come? I appreciate you showing me around but don't you have something to do?" "Of course not I'd be happy to meet your brother and help you carry your lunch. Just point me in the right direction!" Annoyed, Mary led Serena to the elevator and set it for the third floor. "Goodness Mary what took you so long? I nearly starved. Couldn't you find a place to get food?" "Um, Michael this Serena, she helped me find a store and took me around a little." "Howdy? Wait a minute, you guys are twins! Wicked cool!" "Oh yea I forgot to mention that." Not nearly as thrilled as Serena, Mary announced that they were twins both 15 years of age and in the ninth grade. "Shoot that means you won't be in my school." "Oh but I will, in Africa I believe we are one grade ahead of your school grading system so I will be in the eighth and so will Michael" "Please Serena do come in." Serena looked at her watch it was 2:15. " Michael, Mary I'm sorry but I am extremely late for a meeting. I'll come by tomorrow. How about 3:00?" "Oh, that will be fine Serena. It was a pleasure meeting you.", said Michael Running towards the elevator Serena yelled "The same to you." With her head half turned she did not notice the elevator doors and slammed face first into them. Luckily Mary and Michael had already shut the door by then. At the Hino temple Rei's impatience grew till it was uncontrollable. "Goodness where is that meatballhead when you need her." "Come on Rei give her a break that last battle with Queen Beryl really shook her up inside." Lita said trying to defend her friend "Yea, She thought that she almost lost us. Not to mention Darien." Mina added in to confirm Lita's comment. "I know but that really isn't an excuse for her lateness Luna did tell her it was at 2:00." And with that the group turned their attention to Serena running and yelling "I'm sorry I got held up. I was with my new friends." "Serena that is not a good enough excuse for being 20 minutes late!" Luna scolded her sternly. "Calm down Luna. I ran into a new girl on my way to the market. Her and her brother just moved here from Africa. They are in....." "Serena this is just a little bit more important. Go ahead Rei." "Well yesterday while reading the fire, a new enemy was revealed." Chapter two "Nooo, no, not another one. Can't I just live a normal life?" "Serena," Luna reprimanded, "being a sailor scout and the moon princess are your destinies and there is nothing you can do about that. Go on Rei." "Well, all I could get from the fire's guidance was that it wants a massive amount of energy and it is headed towards earth." "Rei, do your think it is close enough for us to pickup readings on it?" "Maybe" Amy pulled out her mini-computer and typed in some numbers. "There isn't anything unusual in our Galaxy." "We should still be on guard. Rei, how about another fire reading tomorrow at 4:00?" Luna asked. "That's just fine. Of course that means you should be on time Serena!" "REI! You're so mean" "Please Serena, she didn't mean it." Lita said hopping she wouldn't have to hear Serena's awful wailing. When she finally stopped crying, Lita and Mina offered to take her out to get some cake. "Okay, (sniff, sniff) Amy are you coming?" "No. I'm not going to get a good grade on my physics test if I don't study." "Oh, come on Amy you know you'll ace it." " Yea, Lita is right" Mina added in. "It'll be fun." "Oh, alright I guess I can study when I get back." "Great let's go!" Serena said cheerfully. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" "Help!" "Oh no, some one's robbing the cake shop!" "Serena, I think this is sailor business. I'm getting bad vibes from inside." "Fine Luna. Moon Prism Power." "Jupiter Power!" "Venus Power!" "Mercury Power! Rei, can you read me?" Amy said as she contacted Rei on her communicator. "Loud and clear." "We are at the cake store. We might need some back up" "I'm on it" Inside the store there was a tall woman with black hair, eyes and fuku. The black whips she held in her hands grabbed helpless humans by their necks draining them of their energy. "Hey freak! I would have a big piece of chocolate cake in my stomach right now if it weren't for you. I stand for love and justice. I will right wrongs and triumph over evil and that means you. I am Sailor Moon and on behalf of the Moon?. "Mercury" "Jupiter" "And Venus" "We will punish you!" "I am Iyesi, and you all will parish! BLACK ENERGY HOLE, SURROUND!" All the girls dogged except for Sailor Moon, but luckily Tuxedo Mask was there and lifted her up and away from danger. "Tuxedo Mask you saved me." "How could I let anything happed to my princess." When they reached the ground, both them and the other scouts were hit with another blast. Jupiter and Venus managed to get to their feet. "JUPITER THUNDER?" Even before she could finish she was hit with another blast. "VENUS CRESENT BEAM SMASH" Iyesi threw another blast headed strait for Venus. "MAJOR POLARBEAR CRASH!" This time the blast hit Iyesi and knocked her of balance and before she could even see who had hit her Ursa Minor hit her with his "Minor Polar bear smash". Iyesi struggled to her feet noticing that she was outnumbered and losing energy said, "This will not be the last." And with that she was gone. "Who are you two?" asked a dumbfounded Venus. "Whenever you need help we will be there" started Major. ", and when you seize your throne we will also be there. We are the twin Guardians. Farewell Princess." "Wait don't leave" but it was too late Ursa Major and Minor had vanished into thin air leaving everyone in a deep state of shock and question. Chapter Three Making sure no one saw them they quickly changed back into their civilian forms. Mars got to the store about two minutes afterwards. Once she noticed she was the only one in her fuku she too changed. "Where were you all this time!" Yelled Lita. "Sorry I thought that I should see what we were up against. I got a reading from the fire first." "That's a pretty good excuse. What did you find out." Luna asked. "Well our new enemy is on the second closest star from earth. Now that it has more energy it can return to earth with the blink of an eye." "That's not the only thing to worry about." Venus said still confused. "There are this two, um, worriers who call themselves the twin guardians and I'm the one their protecting. They said that they would be here when I seized the throne." "But I'm the Princess" said Serena sounding the most mature she has ever been in a long time. The scouts along with Darien left the store once an ambulance arrived and everything was taken care of, but they still had much to worry about. When was Iyesi coming back? Who are the twins and why do they want Venus to seize the throne? Chapter Four The next morning, Serena rang the doorbell to Michael and Mary's apartment. "Who is it?" "It's me. Serena!" Hesitantly Mary opened the door and let her inside. Michael was setting the table for lunch. He and Serena talked while they ate. Mary had become very jealous of Serena because her brother and her always shared conversations during meals and she felt left out now that Serena was there. "Ha, ha, ha. You're so funny Mike." "His name is Michael, and it's 3:30 shouldn't you be leaving now?" "Oh, Mary. I'm sorry to impose if you didn't want me to come why didn't you tell me?" Serena said forcing herself not to cry. "She didn't mean it like that Serena. Please stay." "I did to mean it. Here is your purse there is the door now leave!" "Okay, goodbye Michael this was fu..." Before she could finish the word she began to cry. She grabbed her purse from Mary and ran out of the apartment. She didn't want to risk seeing someone she knew on the elevator, so she took the stairs. At the foot of the stairs she bumped into Darien. "Watch where your go... Serena, what's wrong?" Darien helped her up and took her into his arms. "Mary hates me. She totally blew off at me and shoved me out of her apartment. I just wanted to be friends." "Aww, that's okay. Who cares if about her, obviously she won't be a good friend if she would do an awful thing like that." He said wiping the tears from her eyes. "Let's get going to the scout meeting we should be there in twenty minutes." Serena agreed and they went to his car. Once they got there they herd Michael yelling at them. "Wait Serena, Please!" "What do you want?" Darien said sounding just a little too ticked off. "Please excuse me for my rudeness. I am Michael, Mary's brother. We moved in up stairs. If it isn't any trouble, may I speak to Serena? "I know who you are, and yeah you can talk to her but be quick about it." "Serena, please forgive Mary she is how do you say a?a very excitable person. Please do forgive her." "Yes Michael I do forgive her. I forgave her a while ago actually. I think it would be better if we didn't talk anymore. It really seems to bug her." Before Michael could say another word, Darien drove off. Darien and Serena were silent the whole way in the car. Darien was worried about the way Mary treated Serena and wanted to cheer her up. He stopped at an Ice cream shop and bought her a chocolate Sunday. Then he drove her to the park. He became very worried when she hesitated to eat her ice cream. "Darien we will be late for the scout meeting" "Serena, I envy you" "Huh?" "You have tried so hard to be friends with that Mary person and you probably won't stop until she and you are best friends. When you devote your self to something you never give up. And I love you for that." What Darien said must have made a huge impact because Serena threw her arms around him and begin to cry. "I love you Mamoru" "I love you too, Usagi" They then went to the car and proceeded to the scout meeting. Chapter Five "Minor we need to begin our search for our Princess." "That is not as necessary as our search for that imposter Princess. Once we have located the moon child and destroyed her, our Princess will be free and ready to claim her throne." "Wonderful brother. Only one thing," "What" "Where do we start?" "Well we both know very well that the Soldier of the Moon is the Moon Princess and the Soldier of Venus is our one true Princess right?" "Yes, but what are you getting at brother?" "All we need to do is show up at their next battle with the Dark worrier. When the scouts separate themselves I will take our Princess and you will kill the Moon Soldier." "An excellent plain brother." Meanwhile at the Hino Temple... "Oh sacred Fire guide us by showing us more about the Twin Guardians." Rei made several hand movements and before she could finish the fire revealed a picture of the twins fighting with the Sailor Scouts against Iyesi. The Second picture put everyone into a state of shock. A dead Serena lay at the foot of Princess Mina's throne. "Serena, Mina are you guys ok?" Rei said trying to break the deadly silence. "I?Ieeee" Serena was unquestionably hit the hardest by this tragic prediction. "Usa-chan, please believe me when I say that I will never let that happen to you." Darien's voice was to full of anger to sound as comforting as he wished. "Wait, Shhh!" Rei turned their attention to the fire. "Princess Serena." "Huh, Oh Queen Serenity, Yes Mother." "You are in great danger, the Twin Guardians have coexisted with past Serenitys but they did not like it. They have come to believe that Mina, and all her ancestors, are the rightful rulers of the universe. You must open their eyes to the truth or all will parish!" And with that Serenity disappeared and the fire went out. Chapter Six "Brother," "Yes?" "I have an addition to our plan we should summon our dog stars, Canis Major and Minor. They will follow the imposter and then we can both greet our Princess." "Marvelous. Come now Sister we must rest. To the stars!" Major and minor then changed into their royal forms as Prince Michael Minor and Princess Mary Major. They then transported themselves to Michael's Kingdom, the star Polaris, where they rested for their next battle with Iyesi. After the following events Darien new both Mina and Serena weren't going to be able to walk home on their own so her gave them a ride. He dropped Mina off first in order to spend more time with Serena. He pulled up into her driveway noticing that her father's car was not there making it safe for him to walk her to the door. "Serena?" "I'm okay, really. Thank you for the ride." Darien kissed her softly upon her lips and hugged her "Only the Lord knows how much I care about you." he whispered and with that Serena went inside. There, Sammy stood making kissi-faces at her. After noticing his attempt to bug her did not work he moved out of her way and went into the living room where he began to play a Sailor-V game. "Where's mom?" "Goodness you're even more dazed out then usual after a kiss from Mr. Prince charming. It's her and Dad's anniversary. Duh! They're at that new restaurant downtown." "When are they getting back?" "How should I know." After causing her brother to lose his game, she went up stairs. Luna was waiting for her. Serena plopped down on the bed next to her and said "When did you get here?" "Me and Artimes left the meeting a little early. We were trying to form a plan." "Well?" "Like I said trying. You know you really shouldn't get too upset. You are the one true Princess and we all know that. We'll stand behind you all the way." "Luna, I don't want to fight anymore. All I want is to be a normal girl. Mina can be the Princess. I could care less." "Serena! How can you say such a thing?" "All I know is that I don't want to fight. Not for a throne or any other reason." Serena couldn't hold back the tears. She ran out of the room and out the house crying "Oh, Mother please I don't want to fight anymore. I don't want anyone to get hurt." Still crying she made her way to Darien's apartment. "Serena?" "I couldn't stay at home. No one seems to understand that I don't want to fight anymore." Darien put his finger on her lips silencing her. Then he helped her to the couch and turned the light out. He stroked her hair as she fell asleep in his arms. Chapter Seven It was about 8:00 when Darien got up to get some blankets out of the closet. Unfortunately, for him, his closet was not a tidy as his the rest of the apartment because everything fell out on top of him, which woke up Serena. "Ha, ha. He, he, he." "That wasn't funny," Darien said even though he was laughing too. "Hey Darien, I'm going to use your phone." "Sure." * Bring, Bring * "Hello?" "Hey Sammy are mom and dad home yet?" "Nah they called and said that they were going to check into a hotel for the night." "Tell them I'm sleeping over a friend's house the next time you hear from them. I'll be coming home to get some stuff first, ok?" "Yeah sure." Serena then called Mina who had been trying to forget about the shocking predictions she had seen earlier that day. They agreed that they needed to talk and planned to meet at a coffee' shop around 8:30. "Darien, me and Mina are going to meet at the coffee' shop in a couple of minutes. I think I'm going to go home and take a shower." "Alright." He walked her to the door. They shared a kiss and a hug before Serena said, "Thank you," and then left. Serena went home, took a shower, and then was on her way. She wished she hadn't brought Luna with her because all she kept talking about was destiny. "Just to let you know, your mother would be so proud of you. You are taking your responsibilities a lot more serio?" "Luna, I really don't want to talk about that stuff anymore." "I'm sorry." "Hey Serena, over hear." Mina stood on the opposite side of the street in front of the coffee' shop. Serena walked over. The two girls hugged each other and then proceeded into the shop. "How have you been taking all this lately?" Serena asked. "I just can't understand why they would think that I was a princess. I mean, why me of all people?" Artimes who had been listening quietly in his box answered, "Let me tell you something I remembered earlier. Back on the moon, Mina, you and Serena were inseparable. As children, I remember you two playing a trick on Queen Serenity by switching clothes. Clothes and hair were the only way people could tell you two apart." "I remember that." Luna said. "Maybe the twins got confused somehow. Maybe they thought that Mina was the princess." Artimes concluded. "Well that's obvious." "I'm sorry if I am boring you Luna, but I am just trying to think of a reason why the twins think Mina is the Princess. Ok?" "You guys stop fighting. That is the last thing we need now." Mina said still thinking of an explanation of the situation. Suddenly the door opened. It was the rest of the gang, Amy, Rei, Lita, and Darien. " We thought you two might need some company." Darien said as he sat in a chair next to Serena. The scouts shared their opinions and ideas about the whole Twin Guardian matter for a couple of minutes. Then without warning Iyesi crashed through the ceiling. She began to grab humans and drain them of their energy. The scouts managed to slip out of sight and change into their fuku without anyone noticing. "Foolish humans! You won't remember a thing after this is done just keep still and let me drain you energy!" "Hey you, Whip girl!" "Huh?" "Let those humans go! We stand for love and justice. We will right wrongs and triumph over evil and that means you. We are Sailor Scouts and on behalf of the Moon?. "Mercury" "Jupiter" "Mars" "And Venus" "We will punish you!" "I do not have time for this, BLACK ENERGY HOLE?SURROUND!" Just then Ursa Major and Minor appeared. They combined their powers and through a counter attack at Iyesi. Their attack split threw hers and threw her off balance. "Sailor scouts please help us to destroy this demon." The scouts hesitated because they had seen this picture in the fire and they all knew what came after that but they still helped. "MOON TIARA?" "MARS FIRE?" "MERCURY BUBBLES?" "MAJIC!" "IGNIGHT!" "BLAST!" The three attacks joined as one and injured Iyesi severely. "JUPITER THUNDER?" "VENUS CRESENT BEAM?" "CRASH!" "SMASH!" Just as the other three attacks, their attacks joined together also, killing Iyesi almost instantly. "Canis Major, Canis Minor appear!" Ursa Minor summoned the dog stars. Even before they reached the ground they used their powers to trap all the scouts except Moon and Venus. "Now princess, we will free you. MAJOR POLAR BEAR ASSAULT!" Minor moved Venus out of the way leaving the blast to hit Serena. She took the blast but still held her ground. "A tough one aren't you? Not for long, MINOR PLOAR BEAR CHARGE!" Just then Mina managed to get free from Mary's clutches and jumped in front of Serena, taking the blast for herself. "Mina!" Serena screamed as Mina fell into her arms. "I don't understand. Why is it that you sacrifice yourself for this imposter?" inquired Major. "She is not an imposter she is th?" Minor's blast was too much for her and she died in Serena's arms. "No! Mina come back to me Please!" Serena cried. "What have you done?" Minor and Major stood before Sailor Moon with blank faces. "Serena" Serena heard a voice inside her call her name. She then realized it was her mother. "Yes mother?" "Use the crystal to bring her back to life. Yell: Moon Renewing Animation and she will come back." "Thank you mother. MOON RENEWING ANIMATION!" Minor and Major watched as Sailor Venus came back to life. "Sailor Moon, we now realize that you were always the Princess." Major started. "We are sorry for the problems we have caused. Canis Major, Canis Minor, please release the scouts and return home." The dogs obeyed and the scouts were free. "Sailor Moon we ask you if you will let us erase the events since our arrival." "If you let us do this Iyesi will come back to life because you all will not have killed her yet," Major warned. "But we will watch over her to make sure she dose not return." "Ursa Major and Ursa Minor you may erase time." The twins then changed into their royal forms and two staffs appeared. They used their staffs to spin the world back to before their coming. Prince Michael and Princess Mary managed to erase the events that happened while they were on earth but their leaving only made way for Ail and Ann, keepers of the Doom Tree, but that is another story.
