Prologue


	“Princess Hime!” A voice called out from down a long corridor.
	A girl of sixteen, with very long, blond hair, and electric blue eyes, turned around.  
The voice came from her mother, the queen of the Sun galaxy, their home.  “Yes, 
mother?” Princess Hime asked.
	The queen approached her, “Hime, I’ve been waiting to talk to you about 
something for the longest time, and now that time has come.  Follow me,”   The queen 
took her daughter’s hand and led her to a regal sitting room.  The two sat opposite of each 
other, in large, canary yellow sitting chairs.  “Hime-ko, you know that you are the senshi, 
Sailor Sun, and that you’ve been through extensive training for it.  You’ve also been 
through your first major battle.”
	Princess Hime nodded, “Yes, it was a tough one.”
	“Your help is now needed on Earth.  
As you know, we can see the future, and the future of Earth is grim as of now.  You need 
to go and help change this future.  They  need your help.”
	“Who are ‘they’?  Would they be the princesses of the solar system?  Of the 
Silver Millenium?”
	“Yes.  I need to warn you that this is going to be one of the toughest battles that 
you’ve ever had.”
	“Try the second one that I’ve ever had,” princess Hime said with a note of 
sarcasm in her voice.
	The queen smiled warmly, “My daughter, you will have assistance in this battle.  
By other than the solar princesses.  Princess Sakura, Princess Miaka, and Princess 
Ritsuko will also be accompanying you.”
	Princess Hime clapped her hands once, in delight, “That’s wonderful!  I won’t be 
alone!”
	“Hime, you must take this seriously,” Her mother said sternly, “You’ll have all of 
the money you’ll need, you won’t have to worry about fully supporting yourself.  Just the 
small things,.  And you must enroll in the local high school so nothing will appear 
strange.”
	“Mother, I will make you proud,” Princess Hime said.
	The queen and the princess stood and embraced.
	“I’ll miss you, my daughter,” The queen said with tears in her voice.
	“You’ll always be in my heart, mother.” Princess Hime said.
	“Now, transform and be on your way.”

	Sun Galaxy Power, Make UP!

	A gate appeared in front of the princess, now transformed into Sailor Sun.  She 
walked through the fog emitted from the opened gate.  She glanced back once more at her 
mother, then disappeared into the fog.

	Several galaxies away, a girl exclaimed, “Sailor Pluto!  You’re back from Earth!” 
The cry came from a girl with long, raven hair.  Her chocolate eyes grew wary when she 
saw the dismal look on her face, “What’s wrong?”
	“The queen of the Cheron galaxy just contacted me.  She told me to talk to you.”
	“Why would my mother want you to talk to me?  Why couldn’t she do it herself!  
She never takes the time to say anything to me!  I might as well be motherless!”
	Sailor Pluto placed her hand on the girl’s small shoulder.  “Peace, Princess 
Sakura.  You’re fifteen now, don’t give in to such childish impulses.”
	“Princess Sakura became embarrassed.  “So, what are you supposed to talk to me 
about?”
	“Your mother says that there is soon going to be some type of trouble on Earth.  
Trouble that exceeds the power that we have.  New warriors are needed on Earth, and 
your mother wants to send you.   I guess all of that training I’ve been giving you, has 
finally led up to this.  As of now, you are officially a sailor senshi.”
	“I am Sailor Cheron,” Princess Sakura said softly.
	“I believe that you are ready, and you should leave as soon as possible.” Sailor 
Pluto said.
	“Will I be there alone?” Princess Sakura asked.
	“Your mother told me that you would be accompanied by three other senshi.  
Sailor Sun, Sailor Celestial, and Sailor Comet.”
	“Well, at least I will have some friends.”
	“You should go now.  Transform.  I will open a gate to Earth for you.”
	“How will I support myself?”
	“I believe that arrangements have been made,” Sailor Pluto said.
	“If I see you on Earth, how should I address you?”
	“Setsuna-one-san.  It will appear that I am your older sister.  Are you through 
with your questions?” Sailor Pluto asked impatiently.
	“Thank you, Sailor Pluto.  You’re pretty much all that I have, and you mean so 
much to me.”
	Sailor Pluto smiled.  “Transform!”

	Cheron Galaxy Power, Make UP!

	Princess Sakura transformed into Sailor Cheron, and walked through the gate that 
Sailor Pluto had revealed.  She walked into the gate without a backwards glance to her 
home that she was leaving.  Thank you mother, Sailor Cheron thought, for teaching me 
that loneliness is the only emotion that I can ever feel.  Have a fun time forgetting me.  
There was a large blast of light, and Sailor Cheron disappeared.

	In the Celestial galaxy, another teenage princess was being consulted by her 
mother.  The princess shook her mousy brown, shoulder length hair, in protest to her 
mother’s statement.  “Mom!  I don’t want to leave here!  It was bad enough that I had to 
fight that once!  Please don’t make me do it again!”
	“Miaka-ko, this is what you were born to do.  You know we do not choose our 
fate, it chooses us.”
	Princess Miaka sighed, “I know mother, you’ve given me the same speech 
numerous times.  how will I survive down there?  I have no friends, no place to stay, no 
money--”
	Her mother, the queen, put a stop to her rambling, “Princess Sakura, Princess 
Hime and Princess Ritsuko are going.  I believe there is already a place for you to stay, 
even if it isn’t a palace, and I believe you will have all of the money you will need to 
support yourself.  Now, stop acting like a small child!”
	“I’m sorry, mom, I just don’t want to leave here.  It’s my home, and I’m attached 
to everything and everyone here.”  A gray striped kitten pranced it’s way up to the 
princess, and rubbed itself up against her leg.  She stooped down and picked it up, 
tickling its stomach.  “How can you expect me to leave all of this so suddenly?”
	“I’m sorry, but you’re sixteen now, you have to start acting your age.  You’re 
needed now, and it’s now that you have to go.  Alright?” her mother scolded.
	Princess Miaka sighed once again, “Alright, I figured that all of my training 
would lead up to something major.”
	“You should transform before you go, I imagine.  You’ll be meeting up with the 
other senshi there.” the queen explained.

	Celestial Galaxy Power, Make UP!

	Princess Miaka turned into Sailor Celestial, and looked at her mother.  The queen 
walked over to her daughter and smoothed down her hair lovingly.  She planted a kill on 
her cheek and Sailor Celestial returned it.  “I’ll miss you, mom.  I’ll come back the 
soonest chance that I get.  I promise.”  A massive, marble door appeared behind Sailor 
Celestial and she whirled around.  I guess it’s time to go, she thought.  She walked 
hesitantly through the door, into a land unknown to her.

	One galaxy over, in the Comet galaxy, a girl with straight brown hair, and green 
eyes shouted out, “Hey mom!  What did you want to talk to me about?”
	“Oh!  Ritsuko, your here, I have something to talk to you about.” the queen of the 
Comet galaxy said.
	Her daughter, Princess Ritsuko, crossed her arms impatiently, “I know, are you 
going to tell me or not?”
	“You’re such a little pistol, Ritsuko.  Your assistance is needed on Earth, and all 
of your friends are going also.  Since your the oldest of the newly trained senshi, and 
since you have the most experience, I think that you would do them a lot of good,”
	Princess Ritsuko nodded.  AT seventeen, she was a year older than Princess 
Hime, and Princess Miaka, and two years older than Princess Sakura.  “So, when can I 
leave?  When am I going to be able to kick some youma butt?” She asked eagerly.
	“You know, fighting and wars aren’t always good.  Try to solve everything as 
peacefully as you can.”
	“But, mother, fighting is fun, and I’ve never met a youma that’s tried to solve 
anything peacefully.”
	“Just try.”  The queen pointed to a jade gate behind Princess Ritsuko.  “You 
should transform, I believe there is already some skirmish going on.”

	Comet Galaxy Power, Make UP!

	Princess Ritsuko transformed into Sailor Comet, and jogged toward the door.  “Ja 
ne!” She called her goodbye to her mother, “I’ll see you soon!”  Sailor Comet ran 
through the massive jade gate and to a place which seemed exciting to her.

	Usagi had a fitful night sleep on Earth that night.  She kept recalling the events 
that had recently happened.  Jerky pictures of her and Sailor Galaxia, the legendary 
golden senshi, flashed through her head.  She saw herself flying through the air, naked, 
trying to return Sailor Galaxia to her good self.  She recalled all of her friends dying, one 
by one.  She recalled herself falling to the ground, dying herself, and a small girl with 
heart shaped, pink odangos, willing her back to life.  The small girl disappeared and 
Sailor Galaxia returned to her good self.
	Usagi woke up in a cold sweat, as somebody knocked on her door.  her best 
friend, Hino Rei, walked into the room.  “Usagi-chan, it’s time,” She said.
