Dark Kingdom

         Poor Usagi, late for school AGAIN! But, this day will be special for her! But, later about this, let's start with school again. Miss Haruna already checking who's present, Usagi makes it in the last second, but is given away by Umino (THAT GUY REEEEALLY GETS ON MY NERVES...and those glasses are dorky too). And she got a BAD grade in English (28%...). But then , he and her best friend Naru decide to go shopping a bit. Usagi also meets a young college student, Mamoru. Well, actually she's mad at her test so she throws that paper in the air with anger and it lands on Mamoru's head, and he is like "OW! Watch it, that hurts!" I MEAN, a little piece of paper hurts? Or does he just have such a sensitive skull? Whatever, let's go on. Mamoru and Usagi start arguing after just a few words. Who would guess that they were about to become a couple a bit later?
          At home, her mother wants to see the test, coz Umino called and told they got it back (He sure screwed up again!). And of course, mother was all pissed off (sorry about the swearing, but she was A LOT more than just angry). Usagi was depressed, and went to her room. There, a black cat with a crescent sign on her head showed up. Actually Usagi met this cat earlier, but had no idea that she would influence her life so much. Her name was Luna. (AND IN SLOVENIAN, THAT MEANS MOON! Well, in Spanish too, but after all, I come form SLO...).
          So, a beautiful friendship, Luna and Usagi. But things were about to get serious! Luna introduced herself, and told Usagi that she was chosen to become the soldier of love and justice. The world would soon need one, as the EVIL Queen Beryl of the Dark Kingdom decided it was time to gather some energy so that they can resurrect the evil force, Queen Metalia and take over the universe, it's always the same old $hit...Anyway, Beryl sent her first General or whatever was his rank to Earth with an order of gathering as much energy as possible. But one thing bothers me...why didn't they just occupy some power-plants, I mean electricity IS energy...back to the story. The (un)lucky guy who had this mission was Jadeite.
          Usagi didn't believe a thing, so Luna just had to give her that moon brosch and told her the magic words and she had to get to work since Jadeite already sent his first Youma who trapped Usagi's best friend Naru. But, Sailormoon was more or less just crying in her first battle, however, somehow she managed to defeat the creature with her tiara. But it wouldn't be that easy if there weren't Tuxedo Kamen (and KAMEN means STONE in SLO, just as information...), the masked gentleman who Sailormoon fell in love with. Naturally, what else could happen??
          But the battles were on one after another, Jadeite increased the pressure on the warrior of love and justice, but with Tuxedo Kamen's help, she was sucessful. And she also got an item that could change her into anything, anyone she wanted. Of course, she did use it when not necessary as well, but that's a priviledge of warriors of justice I think.
          After a while, another Senshi was in the team-Sailor Mercury. Ami Mizuno in her every-day life. The smartest girl at school, BUT I WONDER IF SHE COULD CALCULATE HOW MANY ELECTRONVOLTS OF ENERGY ARE RELEASED WHEN A URANIUM 235 NUCLEUS FISSIONS or anything like this. She is also responsible...or maybe it just looks so because Usagi is so immature. Beryl wasn't very happy about it, and Jadeite's downfall was about to begin.
          It was almost ceirtain when the third warrior joined the team-Sailor Mars alias Rei Hino. Well, she was the one who made things HOT, literally. But, she was also so very busy all the time, working at the temple all the time, and had trouble with her grandfather that is kinda perverted, and there was also a guy named Yuuichirou (I hope I spelled the name correctly...), who Rei was in love with, but she denied it. Anyway, Beryl had enough of Jadeite's failures, she only gave him his last chance. But he didn't use it well, the Senshi defeated him with the help of Tuxedo Kamen, he was run down by an airplane (THAT'S GOTTA HURT!) and finally Bery punished him with the eternal sleep.
          SO, ARRIVEDERCI JADEITE! Queen Beryl sent her second man to the battlefield. His name was Nephrite. He had different strategies than Jadeite. His human name was Masato SanJoin. He somehow cursed ordinary items that humans were using every day, and at the right moment, he unleashed the power of the spell that created a Youma who possesed ALL the energy of the particular individual. But, the warriors were quite successful in the battles. And, Nephrite had another problem. That was General Numero 3, Zoicite. He was the most ruthless of them all, hated Tuxedo Kamen (we will return to this part later), and he was a homosexual. With General #4, Kunzite. Anyway, let's leave the last one mentioned out for now...Zoicite had to complete a mission of finding the Ginzuishou, and he constantly annoyed Nephrite. Anyway, Nephrite himself had it easier when Naru fell in love with him. He used her a couple of times, but the power of love prevailed and somehow made his good self awaken, so he joined the Sailor team in his final battle against Zoicite. He got killed, sacrificing himself to save Naru, he died in her arms, and not even Sailormoon could help.
          SAYONARA NEPHRITE! But, he gathered enough energy so that Beryl could partially awaken the dark force Metalia. And that helped her to get a strategy to find the Ginzuishou (WHY THE HECK DOES THAT STONE HAVE A NAME THAT IS SO DIFFICULT TO TYPE?!). Anyway, the strategy looked like this: Gotta find the 7 Nijizuishou (ARGH, another IMPOSSIBLE-TO-TYPE name) that make up the Ginzuishou. And for that, he needs the Kurozuishou (&%#%"&#@$!). So, Zoicite started the search for the 7 Nijizouishou (...).
          But, during this time, Sailor Jupiter alias Makoto Kino came into te picture. She's strong, she can cook very well indeed, and she falls in love with almost every guy she sees and for each one of them she says that he looks like her ex-boyfriend.
          Zoicite tracked down the first Nijizouishou (do I really have to type all this?) carrier. And, just at this occasion, Luna discovered Makoto's identity. But too bad, Zoicite got the Nijizouishou. Then, the second Nijizouishou (okay, I'll get along with it) came in Tuxedo Kamen's posession-also he was struggling to find the Moon Princess and the Ginzuishou, he got a message in his dreams, so the Sailors considered him to be their enemy for some time...anyway, 4 of the Nijizouishou were won by Zoicite, and 3 by Tuxedo Kamen.
          Zoicite managed to find out who Tuxedo Kamen is, and he tricked him, severely injuring him in his left shoulder. And, to make things worse, Tuxedo Kamen's mask fell off his face during the combat, so Queen Beryl saw his face too and realisd his identity. Anyway, in the meantime Kunzite trapped the Senshi and they were SOOO close to death, but then the mysterious Sailor V showed up and saved them. Then she dropped her mask and introduced herself as the final Inner Senshi-Sailor Venus. And, along with her came a male cat named Artemis (but, I think Artemis is an egyptian FEMALE name...that makes a person think...). So, the Inner team was complete.
          In the meantime, Queen Beryl told Zoicite and Kuncite to get Tuxedo Kamen and bring him to her ALIVE. But I don't think Zoicite agreed with it. Next day, Zoicite challenged Mamoru to a duel and the winner would get all the Nijizuishou (well, only a couple more times...), Mamoru accepted. But, what a coincidence! On his way he met Usagi who started teasing as usual, but this time he just calmly told her that he was glad to see her so cherrful and happy. Then, Usagi noticed that Mamoru had blood on his jacket, on the exactly same spot where Tuxedo Kamen got wounded. But, she didn't quite realise that Mamoru actually WAS Tuxedo Kamen. I wonder why not, she can't be THAT stupid...Anyway, Mamoru tried to hold her back, so she wouldn't get mixed into the Zoicite VS Tuxedo Kamen duel, but it was kinda too late and they were both carried to Tokyo Tower. And once they were in there, Zoicite decided to heat things up a bit-he released a fireball at them. Usagi couldn't do anything but transform, and Mamoru realised that she was actually THE Sailormoon, the girl he loved. He was quite surprised. As they faced Zoicite, he transormed into Tuxedo Kamen-THE ONLY TIME WHEN HIS TRANSFORMATION IS SHOWN! And now Sailormoon was the surprised one. Anyway, Tuxedo Kamen and Zoicite started the combat, but Kunzite stole the Nijizuishou, but he kinda couldn't make them unite into the Ginzuishou. In the meantine, in contradiction with his promise that he wouldn't attack Sailormoon, Zoicite attacked her with a black crystal. In the last second, Tuxedo Kamen jumped in front of her and the thing hit him. He fell in Sailormoon's arms, about to die. Just then, the other Senshi and the cats made it in. A little too late, but still, it was too late. Sailormoon started crying (well, who wouldn't?) and the 7 Nijizuishou (THAT WAS THE LAST TIME!) reacted, and united. The Ginzuishou (but about this one...well, I'm afraid this one will have to be typed and read to the very end...) was formed. Sailormoon suddenly got ALL of her memories of the past back and changed-she was now the Moon Princess. Zoicite attacked right away, but the Princess could fight him off with the help of the Ginzuishou. And she remembered...The Silver Millenium, she was the Princess of the Moon, in love with the Prince of Earth-Endymion, Mamoru! The whole story a little later. Right now, she fainted.
          Kunzite and Zoicite fled back into the Dark Kingdom. Beryl wasn't very happy about Zoicite's attempt to kill Endymion/Mamoru/Tuxedo Kamen. Actually, she was VERY annoyed vecause of that fact. She punished him, altough Kunzite tried to help. Zoicite asked Kunzite for the last favour-he wanted to die surrounded by beauty (now THIS is WEIRD!! Zoicite was the most ruthless and evil of them all, but NOW he talks about beauty, COME ON!), and so Kunzite made a lot of rose petals appear. Zoicite died.
          AU REVOIR ZOICITE! Now, the only General remaining was Kunzite, BUT Queen Beryl managed to get Endymion, and, well, let's say, brainwashed him so now he was Commander Endymion of the Dark Kingdom...really mean of her, huh? In the meantime, Sailormoon recovered, but when the others told her that Mamoru was taken away by Beryl, she couldn't take it. I must say, LUCKILY FOR HER, Kunzite attacked and she had to fight, otherwise she might have just given up the whole thing. All the Inners were struck down by Kunzite, but Sailormoon used the Ginzuishou and he had to retreat. Then Sailormoon found an amulet that Tuxedo Kamen dropped, and somehow, she was full of hope and confidence, determined to get her prince back and remove the Dark Kingdom threat.
          Kunzite used everything he could to defeat them, Beryl sent Endymion to help too, but looks like she didn't completely brainwash him, coz a couple of times he saved Sailormoon. Sailormoon herself was relieved that her beloved Mamoru was still alive, but on the other hand, very hurt because now he was her enemy, altough he saved her a couple of times. Once, she managed to heal him, but Beryl stole him again and completely brainwashed him. A little later, Sailor Venus alias Minako Aino discovered the Dark Kingdom HQ. At the North pole (now someone tell me...how could Beryl walk around at her her HQ half naked???!), so only one thing they can do.
          Anyway, already at the entrance, Kunzite was waiting. He sent them back ino the past where they all saw the downfall of Silver Millenium-now for the story about this kingdom I promised earlier. Anyway, this was the kingdoon the Moon, but some day, they got attacked by Earth (hey, sounds almost like Star Wars). A little before, Endymion came and warned Princess Serenity, but it was already too late. The Earth's ruler, Queen Beryl was kinda posessed by evil force Metalia, so she decided to eliminate the Moon. Actually, Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoicite and Kunzite were originally Prince Endymion's followers and swore loyalty, BUT Beryl brainwashed them and used them as her own Generals. In the battle, everyone died. All the Inners, Princess Serenity, and Prince Endymion. Queen Serenity of the Moon sealed the evil forces, but the Ginzuishou has an annoying catch. Whoever uses it's full power, dies. So, as Serenity used it's power to eliminate the evil, she was doomed to death as well. With her last atoms of strength, she sent the souls of the warriors, the Princess and the Prince to Earth in hope that they will live in peace there. But somehow, Beryl managed to escape, don't ask me how. As Serenity died, nobody remained, just two cats, Luna and Artemis. Anyway, after this look into the past, the Senshi returned to the future (the future of the past=present that is...) and eliminated Kunzite.
          ADEUS KUNZITE! Next day, the final showdown takes place (well, just before it, Usagi was cooking at home, but you don't want to know the results...). The Senshi transform and teleport to the North pole. But Beryl sent her most powerful youma to get them-the DD Girls (what does DD stand for, I have no idea, but I don't think it means Destruction Derby). And these 5 creatures managed to kill the Inners. Only Sailormoon remained, but the spirits of the dead warriors gave her the hope and confidence to stand against Beryl. She already expected Sailormoon. And Commander Prince Endymon was by her side, but not for long as she ordered him to kill her. Even the Ginzuishou couldn't heal him the black energy was just too strong. So, Endymion attacked with kicks and black roses and his sword. But hey! Sailormoon was holding that amulet in her hands and as Endymion touched it, he got all his memories back, he was healed, the rose turned red from black and Mamoru was back. Not for long sadly...Beryl used another of those black crystals, Endymion threw a rose and shredded it, hit Beryl, but, the direction of shreads didn't change. Endymion protected Sailormoon again, and got hit. He died in her arms, the rose petals fell off...so, only Sailormoon remained. The final showdown was about to begin. And to make things even more difficult for the last Senshi, Beryl merged with the evil force Queen Metalia, and now she was like 10 times taller and stronger than before. She zapped Sailormoon, BUT the ice she was caught in opened, and Princess Serenity stood there with her Ginzuishou. So, they clashed. Metalia's black energy and the energy of the Ginzuishou. The full power that is, and that means Serenity will die...Luna realised it in Tokyo, but Artemis told her there's nothing to do. At the north pole, Serenity remembered the happy moments she had with the others, her eyes filled with tears. She was determined to win, otherwise everyone died for nothing. She asked her friends to give her power, and so they did. The spirits of the dead warriors appeared and that increased the power of Ginzuishou A LOT, now it was powerful enough to zap Beryl and finish her once and for all. And that's exactly what happened. The evil was defeated again, but this was just a battle, the war will be long...Princess Serenity changed back to Sailormoon and died. Pink light engulfed the bodies of the warriors who fell in the struggle for love and justice (MAN, all throught the entire Anime show, they get killed A LOT OF TIMES, and they always come back...though people, can't help it).
          Somewhere in Tokyo, a girl woke up. She was about to be late for school...AGAIN. Her name was Usagi Tsukino. Yep, they were back, without a single memory of how they defeated Beryl. Only two cats knew it, Luna and Artemis.
          Usagi is running, she doesn't want to be late. Makoto passes her, she's late too. Across the street, Minako is waiting for her bus. Rei is working at the temple. Ami is #1 at the test again. They don't know each other, but Luna and Artemis know, they will be reunited, for Evil will return. Usagi envies Ami, coz she (Usagi I mean) got a bad grade again (30%...well, 2% better than last time, there was SOME progress, but not very much, I'm afraid). She is talking to Naru, and throws the test away. It lands on Mamoru's sensitive skull-well, he WAS like "OW!" again. He teases her a bit. Usagi is mad at him. But Naru somehow guesses that this guy is handsome and that Usagi and he are made for each other. How true...but Usagi kinda doesn't agree...YET
