Author's Notes: I do not own Sailor Moon in any way whatsoever. I'm a great fan but I do not own her or anything that has to do with her. I'm just a fan who likes to write fan-fiction about her. So, don't sue. I'm not claiming anything.
Summary: This takes place about five years after Galaxia, Serena and her friends all lead their own lives and are pretty much living it pretty good. They aren't dealing with any bad guys any more until one day a horrible prediction comes when the world is going to end. So now Serena, the Inner and Outer Senshi bring out their transformation pens and brooches and start a new adventure. This time their enemy is Earth.
Chapter 1---Deadly Warnings
Tokyo, Japan....
Serena Tsukino reached into the mailbox of her new apartment and pulled out a whole stack of letters. She smiled as she recognized the handwriting on the front letter which was a nice color of bubble gum pink. Obviously it was from Lita Kino. She walked back to the elevator of the Juuban Apartment Complex and pushed the 'up' button. She stood there, flipping through her letters as she waited for elevator doors to slid open. When they finally did she had found a letter from Helen Tomoe, she was doing great as a healer all over the world. The girl was finally being appreciated for her healing abilities. Serena was happy for the other girl.
Pushing number 8, Serena leaned against the metal rail around the elevator and found a letter from Corinne Ten`ou and Nerissa Kaiou. She knew they were having a great time in France as Corinne continued her dreams of being a race car driver and Nerissa with her amazing musical abilities. Then there was one from Jennifer Meiou, a world famous fashion designer by now with hundreds of people paying anything for one of her original designs.
Serena just couldn't wait to open up all the wonderful letters and devour them as she wished with all her heart to see her friends again. She was so depressed when they all left to pursue different careers all over the world. Literally. Amy Mizuno was off in Germany learning all she could to be the best doctor in the world, Raye Hino was off trying to achieve high priestess in the nameless mountains of Japan, Lita Kino was in France learning how to be the best chef in the world, and Mina Aino was a world famous model in England demanded by every fashion designer and photographer. Serena's fiancé Darien Shields was in America studying to be a doctor at Harvard and close to getting his Ph.D. after all those years of studying. They hadn't seen each other in five years. They only met occasionally during vacations and sent letters and pictures to each other but it didn't make up for the deep absence of love Serena had in her heart.
"Serena, any letters for me?" Luna asked from the couch. She was laying there, reading an adventure book Serena had already read.
"No," Serena murmured as she continued to shuffle through the mail. "Oh! Wait. There's one from Artemis." She easily threw the envelope through the air and landed next to Luna. The cat grabbed at the letter, ripped it open and began to read it hungrily.
Serena smiled as she took a seat in the couch opposite the one Luna was relaxing on. She knew that Luna missed Artemis a whole lot since Mina left for England. Their little relationship had grown much over the years and Serena was happy to know that her guardian cat was falling in love with her partner. It meant that they were as meant to be as Serena was with Darien.
Looking down at the many letters and junk mail in her hands Serena wondered which letter she should read first. She picked up a letter from Corinne and Nerissa and opened it first. She pulled out the letter and found that it was only one sheet. They probably had a lot to do. She looked down at the neat stationary and read the elegant handwriting of Nerissa.
Dear Serena,
Everything is good over here in France. Corinne has won the Country Championships and we held a little celebration. We all wished that you and the others were there with us. The weather has been getting a bit strange over here in France. When it's suppose to be snowing the sun is out and far too bright but that's how the world is, isn't it? I mean, it would be silly if we thought something bad was happening but you can't be too careful after all that we've been through.
My concerts are fine and everyone is cheering me on my idea to become a swimmer and represent Japan at the Olympics in two years. I just hope your just as happy for as me as the others are. I'm still deciding though. I have my career as a violinist to take care of. I'm doing very fine in that but I always did love swimming as well.
How are you in Tokyo? How is life as a kindergarten teacher? I never thought you would actually consider dealing with children after dealing with Rini! She was a handful but she was a good girl with a very big heart. I guess I can understand why you would enjoy spending time with children while Rini is away in the future. We all miss her very much. Especially Jennifer who loved her like her own daughter.
Well, there's not much else to say---
Nerissa and Corinne
Serena smiled as she read the letter over. It was short but then most letters from her friends are. Their lives were far too busy to actually be able to write a long letter. She pulled out two photos of Corinne and Nerissa and smiled. They looked wonderful. She stood up and walked into her bedroom. She pulled out a memories box where she kept all her letters, photos and little mementos. She walked back into the living room and opened up the open. She folded up the letter and slipped the photos back into the envelope. She dropped it into the box and opened up the next letter.
She read for three hours until her stomach finally told her that she had to eat dinner. Serena stood up and stretched tiredly. It was dark outside and there was no moon out. She walked into the kitchen and pulled open the refrigerator. She pulled out some noodles and boiled up hot water. She was never going to be as good a cook as Lita but at least she could make a mean bowl of noodles.
In the Mountains of Japan....
Raye Hino slowly walked up the steps of the quiet temple where she was studying to become a high priestess. In three days she would be able to finally receive the honor. She had worked hard enough for it and finally she had achieved it and at a young age as well. All her masters approved of that and praised her at her ability to connect with everything around her so well.
She smiled wistfully as she welcomed the beautiful, warm sight of the alter and the Sacred Fire that burned beside it. She walked over to the Sacred Fire and sat down in front of it. She was always good with fire. Her masters all noted her on that. She did have psychic abilities after all. That made things a little easier on her when she had to do certain things while training to be a high priestess. She placed her hands together, closed her eyes and bowed her head. She whispered a daily prayer.
Suddenly a very cold feeling shot through her. Raye gasped as her head shot up and she continued to feel the horrible cold feeling washing through her. She wanted to scream in fear. It was such a horrible feeling. It didn't feel right. It felt so wrong. She hadn't felt such a powerful feeling before. She had horrible, wrong feelings before but this time it was far too strong for her to push it away from her mind. There hadn't been any trouble since she and the other scouts faced off with evil Galaxia but that didn't mean evil couldn't return.
Raye took a deep breath and steadied herself. She looked at the fire. Determined to find out what the feeling meant, Raye clapped her hands together and began to pray furiously as she demanded an answer for the horrible premonition she had received.
Suddenly the fire roared and an image appeared.
Death.
In France....
Jennifer Meiou rhythmically tapped her thick charcoal pencil against her expensive oak desk as she looked down at her new creation. There was just something missing about the design. She needed something else that would add more flavor and flair to the dress...
She smiled as she realized what it was that was missing. She quickly moved around the paper as she drew out a beautiful addition to her new design. She had to have a few designs done before the week was done. She always had to have new ideas and designs for her company to keep it going. Fashion was a complicated thing. Things come in and go out of style every month so she had to keep up with everything and make sure her designs are just as in fashion as any other fashion designers clothing. That was the demand in the fashion world.
She was living with Nerissa and Corinne in their mansion since it was a hassle to buy her own place when she didn't stay in one place long without having to travel to different countries for fashion shows. Besides, they lived together in the past and they were used to each other's company.
While she was making the finishing touches to her design, Jennifer felt her mind open. She dropped her pencil and looked into Time. She was a dark haze as she sat there, motionless as Time spoke to her. She felt cold and numb all over as Time told her the worst of what was going to happen in the future. Time didn't tell her much but told her enough to know that she had to find a way to prevent it no matter what.
Finally Time stopped and Jennifer returned to her body. She gasped and slumped in her seat. She wasn't exhausted from looking into Time after such a long time. She felt scared and drained as she knew what was to come.
The apocalypse.
All over the world, all the scouts of the Milky Way galaxy felt something wrong inside of them. They all knew that something was very wrong as they continued to live their normal lives. They all knew that their powers had to be re-awakened as they prepared for a tough battle ahead of them.
