Sailor Moon P Sailor Moon P By jameson9101322 Submitted: June 27, 2004 Updated: June 28, 2004 There is a new Sailor Soldier in town, and a new plot to steal the energy of the Earth. The first chapter is short and kinda sucks because I wrote it ages ago, but starting chapter 2 it gains real credibility and depth unfolding an epic story about Provided by Fanart Central. http://www.fanart-central.net/stories/user/jameson9101322/4447/Sailor-Moon-P Chapter 1 - Episode 0: Introduction 2 Chapter 2 - Episode 1: Sailor Polaris 3 Chapter 3 - Episode 2: A New Evil 18 Chapter 4 - Episode 3: Bring on the Pain 35 Chapter 5 - Episode 4: Obsession 52 Chapter 6 - Episode 5: Earth Arising 70 Chapter 7 - Episode 6: Tooth and Claw 85 Chapter 8 - Episode 7: A Turn of the Cards 103 Chapter 9 - Episode 8: Unseeing 120 Chapter 10 - Episode 9: Star Power 136 1 - Episode 0: Introduction Sailor Moon P Introduction: This series is like…the Sailor Moon movies. They take place within the boarders of a given series but you’re never quite sure where. This one takes place over the course of one week between Venus’s arrival and Zoicite’s confrontation with Tuxedo Mask. So, in short, we have five sailors, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus who don’t know their pasts, one Tuxedo Mask who is desperately gathering Rainbow Crystals in order to return the Imperium Silver Crystal to his dream princess, and Evil Queen Beryl who’s only remaining Generals, Malachite and Zoicite, are trying to collect the Rainbow Crystals for their queen so that she can release the Negaforce on the earth. I have considered all series into this novel, and have applied some ideas of my own. If you are not familiar with the show, the original Sailor Moon series in specific, you will be lost on some of the loose ends, and you will also find the finale to be quite a confusing mess. I suggest that you take a quick recap of what happened during the first season of Sailor Moon and report back here when you know what is going on. If you are brave please continue. I have several invented characters, with various relationships, attitudes, and ways of affecting the world of Sailor Moon. It is my hope that you find these characters to be entertaining and fun. I hope you fall in love with them as I have. As for names and powers…I’m a fan of the Japanese Sailor Moon, but since I have not seen the original series in Japanese, I don’t know many of the Japanese names and un ‘DiC’ed attitudes of the characters. So in short, Zoicite is a girl, Malachite is straight, and poor Tuxedo Mask goes by Darien, not Mamoru. But for the record, I much prefer the Japanese names at any cost, so if you want to, every time a character says Darien’s name, be thinking Mamoru in your head. Powers, I’ve kept Japanese…Moon Tiara Action, Bubble Spray, Fire Soul, Supreme Thunder, and Crescent Beam. I unfortunately don’t know the direct translation of Moon Healing Activation, but I’d rather stick with just that than having Mercury running around shouting Mercury Bubbles Blast everywhere. Now that you have a lowdown, I hope you enjoy my fanfic. It is a pleasant splash of action, adventure, mystery, comedy, and a little bit of romance on a teen crush perspective. Have fun! North Star Power…NOW! ~Jameson~ 2 - Episode 1: Sailor Polaris Sailor Moon P Episode 1 : Sailor Polaris Night had fallen on the Moon Kingdom of the Silver Millennium. Queen Serenity, her silver hair falling around her, watched as her daughter was taken and killed before her eyes. All around her, her kingdom was crumbling. Her people were dying, and her culture was vanishing. The Negaverse, a power-hungry race of world domineers, were spreading through her satellite. She saw the earth on the horizon, darkened by the presence of overpowering negative energy. The whole of the Zodiac system was under their power, now. Her peers were dead; her loved ones were dead; and most importantly, the next generation were all destroyed. There was nothing left. The beautiful era she’d been raised in was over. The queen, tears in her eyes, fell to her knees in defeat. She could hear the malicious laughter of Beryl, Queen of the Negaverse as it echoed around the ruins of her palace. She glanced to where the body of her young, blonde, 14-year-old heir was hanging suspended in the air near her dead fiancé from Earth. They were going to inherit the throne, and unite the Earth and Moon in a bond of eternal harmony. But, the evil queen would rule her kingdom now, and turn her peaceful land into a pit of villainy. She looked down to the wand she held in her h and, and the glittering orb-like crystal resting in the curve of the crescent. She heard a voice nearby. “Your Majesty!!!” The two magic cats Luna and Artemis were standing at her feet. She held up the Crescent Moon Wand. “There is only one hope…” “No! Your Highness! Not the Imperium Silver Crystal!” Luna begged. “I have no choice.” She removed the treasure of the moon kingdom from its place and held it before her. “I will send everyone to the future where they may live happily forever.” “Queen Serenity-!?” Artemis said, disbelieving. “They will live in peace on Earth.” She said, tears still flowing. “I will use the last of my energy to make sure that everyone will be happy.” “But Serenity! If you do that…” Artemis was too frightened to finish, but his monarch knew what he was trying to say. “I know, but if the Negaverse wins, then no one will live.” Serenity said, woefully. “It is the greatest sacrifice.” Luna said. “But your kingdom will live on.” “No…” New tears came as her heart broke. “They will have no memory of this place, or our lives here. They will not remember me.” The crystal floated and left her hand. “In case the Negaverse attacks again, the Sailor Soldiers will be available to combat them. It will be your mission to find them.” The cats gasped. “Now go…and find the Moon Princess, so that our kingdom and my beloved daughter will not truly die. The Negaverse will not win as long as Princess Serenity lives.” “YOUR MAJESTY!?!” But in a flash, they were encapsulated and sent away. All over the solar system, members of the royal families were disappearing and phasing into the future. The columns fell around her as the bubbles of their energy trailed away. She lay against one, her energy nearly spent, and watched as the last of them vanished. Now, with her entire world broken and crashing down around her, she was completely alone. She sobbed for her herself, her kingdom, and her child. Even though she loved it all so much, she would be forgotten, and unable to join them in the kingdom of the future. It broke her heart. Then a voice, and a turquoise cat appeared from behind one of the fallen columns, her great brown eyes opened widely. “Queen Serenity?” The queen looked up and cast her forlorn silver-blue eyes to her. The cat stepped tentatively forward. “What is happening?” “It’s over.” Serenity sighed, drops of sadness splashing on her empty wand. “I am left alone and unremembered, and will die.” “You are not alone, my queen.” The cat said. “I am here.” She looked to the cat. “Yes.” “And we will all die.” She added. The queen realized that this young soul and many like her would not survive the fall of her kingdom either. It was terrible. The young feline walked up and sat down beside her. “And… I haven’t forgotten you.” Serenity gazed down, somehow, this little person had touched her heart. It was because, even though it seemed that she had failed, Queen Serenity was still loved by her people. It seemed that this young feline didn’t mind perishing with her. She smiled weakly. “What is your name?” “Niobe, your highness.” “Were you a member of the court?” “No, your highness.” She answered. “But I frequented your palace. My mother, in life, was an important name in our society.” “Niobe,” Serenity’s smile warmed. “You are noble and compassionate to think of me in the midst of all of this turmoil. Even Luna and Artemis will not remember me in the future; the will remember only the mission I have given them. You…” She reached her hand out, “you will be the keeper of my memory. You alone will recall still the ways and people of the Silver Millennium. When you arrive in the future; find the others. They are looking for the Moon Princess and the Sailor Soldiers. With a memory, you will help them greatly. I will make it so that you can show them the past and help them in the future.” Her body began to shimmer and dissipate as she reached out and touched the cat. Placing her finger in the crescent moon shape on Niobe’s forehead, it began to glitter gold, the cat’s eyes deepened in swirling blackness. “Go, my messenger.” Niobe gasped. Before her eyes, a sparkling, colorful vortex swirled. She was sucked into the blackness, twisting around and around through the cloudlike spots of brilliant color and the pinpoints of imaginary stars. Her mind was sealed in this way, and her body encapsulated like the others.

  • Why I Love Anime by Kaitlin Meaney I Figured I Would Take a Break
    Why I love Anime By Kaitlin Meaney I figured I would take a break from writing about feelsy stuff to tell you about why I think anime is so awesome and that there is a lot to love about it. Also because I literally don’t have an anime to write about this week, at least nothing I’ve watched a whole series of yet. This is me taking a break this month. Anime has been a big part of my life ever since I was a child. My first exposures coming from Pokemon, Beyblade, Sailor Moon, Digimon, and Yu-Gi-Oh just to name a few. As I got older I found that the medium was a lot bigger than just the few I had seen in Saturday morning cartoons. In high school I was exposed to my first few subbed anime in the school anime club. I would say that I only truly realized my love for anime while in that club. Now I am an active member of the fandom watching anything that tickles my fancy. Anime is a much appreciated medium of television but it is vastly underrated. It’s regarded as one of the nerdiest thing right next to Dungeons and Dragons and/or video games. But there are some things about this medium that set it apart from the others. Something that makes it unique and creates the devoted fans that exist in abundance this day and age. I’ll be talking about what I personally love about anime and what makes it so cool in my eyes.
