From Destiny to Fate
Chapter 1: Dream of Death

[/b][/center]

Sweat dripped from the form asleep on the bed. She was tossing and turning as if in a nightmare or fighting some invisible force. Her long hair was escaping the braid she put it in and her pink, bunny spotted covers were wrapped around her body.

Dreamscape -Moon Palace-

I ran to the grand hall of the moon palace, eager to tell Mother what happened. Five gods, Aries, Shinigami, Nataku, Poseidon, and Zeus had come to visit me, though I was most excited by the visit from Shinigami.

He had finally proposed to me. He asked if I would like to be his Shinimegami.

“Mother,” I shouted skidding to a halt upon entering the grand hall. “Mother,” I repeated breathlessly trying to get her attention and regaining my breath.

“Yes, Diana,” Queen Selenity, my mother said.

“Aries-sama, Shinigami-sama, Nataku-sama, Poseidon-sama, and Zeus-sama came to visit me,” I said with joy.

Mother frowned, I was not her favorite daughter and the thought of five of the most powerful gods visiting me probably pissed her off, “I’m sure they weren’t here to see you, Diana. They must have been here to visit Serenity.”

Her words were like little darts, and I was a balloon, they hurt. Over the years though I knew how to exchange darts with her, “No, they came to see me. Shinigami asked me to—” I started, until Shinigami himself appeared.

“I asked her to marry me,” he said.

In my opinion Shinigami was hot (I wasn’t the only one to think so either). He had a long, slim, brown braid of hair and violet eyes. Every girl I knew would die for him, pun intended, and every guy I knew, minus the other gods, wanted to be him.

“NANI?!” Mother shouted, breaking her wine glass that sat on the arm of her throne.

Shinigami pretended to clean out his ear with his finger (did I fell to mention I find him extremely funny?), “You don’t have to shout, I may be death, but I’m not deaf,” (Sometimes not.)

“There is no way any of my daughters are to become Shinimegamis.”

“I’m not asking Serenity, I’d die first before going so low. But since you brought up the subject of Serenity, what do you want Diana to become since she isn’t the Tsukino Megami.”

“I agree, you favor the daughter of that cheating Venician King over the one decended from gods. Do you want me to live my life as a goddess without a domain?”

“Don’t take that tone with me, young lady?”

“Are you afraid of my powers?” I knew I hit a nerve with that one. By birth right I held the powers of the moon and sun, if I really did become the Shinimegami than I’d have even more powers. My powers could already destroy the moon if I let them, but I held a love for the inhabitants that wouldn’t allow me to.

“GO TO YOUR ROOM, DIANA!”

I smirked and said, “This isn’t over, Mother,” adding sarcasm to Mother. I left the hall and upon seeing Serenity I smacked her so hard that she disappeared into next week.

-Serenity’s 18th Birthday-

Serenity and Endymoin were dancing together in the middle of the room. ‘The baka,’ I thought, leaning against a wall, ‘she could have a god, yet she choose that baka of an Earth ouji.’

The Martian Ouji came and asked me for a dance, but I denied. I was waiting for someone.

I saw Sendo so I went to talk to her. A few minutes later and two hands covered my eyes. “Hello, imouto-chan, can I steal Di away from you,” said a sexy voice behind me. A voice I knew all to well.

I smiled at the use of my pet name and turned around kissing him on the cheek. “Hello, Shini-chan,” I said.

“Ah, is that all I get,” he asked playfully, wrapping his arms around my waist and dragging me onto the dance floor.

“You were late, I was waiting for hours. I got so bored I was watching the bakas dance,” I pressed my self closer as I said that.

“I’m sorry, Di, I’ll make it up to you,” he pulled me even closer.

“Don’t have to,” I kissed him, “being with you is enough.”

During the middle of a very sweet waltz a crash shook the palace. Several dancers fell flat on their asses. I knew what that was, an attack. The baka-ouji was right, Beryl was coming for the moon next.

Shinigami and I broke away. I held my locket tightly and shouted, “Moon Chaos Power! Make-up!” I gave Shinigami a chaste kiss before leading the senshi to war.

Coming toward the palace were thousands, upon thousands, of youma, Beryl’s generals leading the ranks, weapons drawn. The demon Metallia and her consort, Beryl, were standing behind the troops commanding them. Everywhere Metallia stepped, everything died.

“Black Death,” I shouted aiming my scythe at the army. Several youma died instantly and others moaned and groaned, rolling on the ground from the effects of my attack. I kept launching my attack at various locations through out the army, but soon they overwhelmed me. I was reduced to slicing through their ranks heading toward Metallia.

“Chaos fury,” I whispered reaching Metallia. She turned to me and was to slow to dodge my spell. She returned to her true form, that of a demonic, formless, cloud.

I heard a scream and instead of finishing off Metallia I looked over at my sister, only to see her take her own life on Endymoin’s sword. I burst, power sprayed everywhere. Raw and untamed it killed whatever it touched, I died with it.

End Dreamscape

The girl in bed suddenly woke. Her silk bunny pajamas sticking to her showing off more skin than they should while her blue eyes scanned the room.

“Am I Diana or Serenity,” she whispered quietly to herself.

“Nani Usagi, did you say something?” a black cat asked sleepily.

“Iie, it’s nothing, Luna, go back to sleep,” she said staring at the full moon through her curtains. ‘That’s where I need to go, to find the answers I seek.’ She got up and went to her closet, ‘Why wait when I can go now?’ She pulled on a black dress and leapt out the window into the night.

Chapter 2: Drawn Together By Fate

[/b][/center]

A young man with braided brown hair flopped his head forward. He wore black jockey pants and a long sleeved black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows and a white priest collar around his neck. Three OZ soldiers stood around him. Two were keeping the boy from falling and the third kept a gun pressed to the teens back.

They were filming his capture as ‘a war criminal against the colonies.’ Earlier amongst military and media hype they wheeled in Gundam 02 Deathscythe, it was now in the hanger. He was now in the prison of the lunar base. He was being charged for treason against OZ and the colonies, but, really, OZ was using him for their plans.

They threw him into a small steel cell with his hands cuffed and posted a single guard out side the door.

He lifted his violet eyes up and looked to see if the coast was clear. He stood up and thought, ‘Bakas, they underestimated me.’ He smirked as he moved his hands over the side of his braid and pulled a wire from his hair. He picked the locks and caught the two sides of the cuffs before they hit the ground. ‘Now for the guard.’

He reached above his head and his hand disappeared into a portal. Smirking he pulled out a large scythe, ‘I still got the power,’ he thought and moved to the door.

The guard was scanning the hall listening and looking for any sign of movement. He appeared to be ready for anything, but...

The teen aimed the scythe at the door and struck. A large portal opened up and the sound of tortures beyond those a person could take came out. He frowned, ‘Guess they built this too close to the palace.’ He walked through the portal and appeared on the other side of the door. A frightened guard stood shaking and trying to threaten the teen with his gun.

“Da-da-duo Maxwell is escaping,” he whispered. Duo shook his head and smiled.

“Sleep and forget,” he said. The guard dropped to the ground snoring peacefully. He left the lunar base without a space suit or Deathscythe.

Outside the Tsukino House

Usagi looked up at the house in a black dress. She had worn it to her uncle’s funeral, he had died in the war. It was her favorite dress, it was tight fitting with a modest v-neck and went to her ankles. Slits went up both sides to her lower thighs and a necklace that she found at the sight of the Maxwell Church Tragedy, which had claimed her uncle’s life, hung around her neck. She didn’t know who owned the locket before her, but it was extremely pretty, and seemed made for her. It was shaped like a circle with a crescent moon, a sun, and a scythe all intertwined together.

‘Hmmm, without the senshi I’ll need a shuttle,’ she began to walk to the OZ space port. She and her family were against OZ and the Alliance, blaming them for her uncle’s death and many others. ‘Perfect time to cause damage to OZ while getting something I want.’

She arrived at the OZ base and used her disguise pen to transform into an OZ pilot. ‘I look like a cannon fodder mobile suit pilot, I’m going to get shot.’ There wasn’t a lot of guards in the base since all of the gundam pilots were in space and one in prison, they figured that they had nothing to worry about.

Ahead was a large hanger with many guards inside and a nice shuttle, ready for take off. ‘I need some better skills than a cannon fodder OZ pilot.’ She transformed herself into the gundam pilot that she saw on tv, problem though she forgot to think about clothes. She/he blushed so red that if she/he stood next to a tomato she/he would be redder. She/he ducked behind a trash can and waited for a soldier to come by, not wanting to transform again just for clothes.

A soldier came by and disappeared behind the trash can. A few minutes later she/he reappeared from behind the trash can in an OZ uniform, blushing even worst. She/he walked into the building, stealthily.

She/he walked up to the shuttle and found the door which she/he flipped up into. The shuttle was empty. She/he walked up to the pilot’s seat and sat down. She/he flipped a few controls and then hot wired the shuttle. (AN: I know this is impossible, but do you think they’d leave the keys in the ignition? They’re dumb, but no one’s that dumb... I take that back... maybe they are.)

The shuttle quickly accelerated out of the hanger doors, that was closing. They had obviously discovered someone was stealing the shuttle. A mobile suit came up beside the shuttle and asked, “Are you stealing this shuttle?”

“No, I’m only taking it to the car wash,” she/he shouted. The mobile suit backed off.

“I’m sorry, our bad,” the pilot said, “let her through.”

It was all Usagi could do to keep from laughing at the pure stupidity of the pilot. As she got out of the atmosphere of earth she set a course for Mare Serenitatis, the location of the Moon Palace.

The Moon

Duo bounced happily across the surface of the moon. He had wanted to visit the moon palace for the past two hundred years, but had been unable to. ‘Selenity, you witch. Both of your daughters died and you still held a grudge against me. I’ll find Di even if it takes an eternity.” His clothes changed to a long black hooded robe with a silver belt around the center, “For I am Shinigami.”

Chapter 3: The True Sailor Moon

[/b][/center]

Space Shuttle

Usagi's POV

I looked at the moon, nearing my destenation. I pulled my hair out of its twin odagos. For some reason the style didn't fit. I put it into three odangos and braided the streamers together.

"Diana," I whispered to my reflexion as three symbols, the ones on my locket appeared. I blinked and knew, Serenity wasn't really me. I magically sent the silver crystal to the true Serenity and prepared for landing.

The Moon

Duo's POV

I looked up to see a shuttle landing near the palace. I blinked feeling a familiar soul nearby, "Diana."

I picked up the pace heading to the moon palace.

The Moon

Usagi's POV

To say I was pissed would be the understatement of the century. 'Mother was using me as cannon fodder to protect her precious demi-goddess, when I'm a true goddess.'

I decided that today, I'd get the answers from Selenity. She'd answer me or my powers. I smirked, how could the senshi and I be so stupid to not see it.

Luna knew that the princess had not been Sailor Moon and that no one, but the true Sailor Moon could transform into such.

I fiddled with the locket, knowing, as memories flooded my mind, that it would transform me into Chaos moon.

"Moon Chaos Power! Make-up!" I shouted the phrase unspoken for over a thousand millenia. Black and White ribbons appeared to wrap around my body, which seemed to be back at the cauldron. After twisting around, in such away as it seemed I was avoiding the white while embracing the dark, I stood in the black and silver fuku from my dream.

I continued to the palace by cutting a portal out with my scythe.

The Moon

Duo's POV

I felt her soul jump to the moon palace from her old location. 'Duh, baka, portal!' I slapped my forehead and quickly did the same she did with my own scythe.

Chapter 4: Fate Catches Destiny

The Moon

Usagi’s POV

Appearing in the courtyard I smirked. The palace was familiar enough:

1) D-chan and I met in the courtyard when I was fifteen and had heard that Serenity was the crown princess, back in the Silver Millennium.

2) D-chan proposed in the courtyard when I turned eighteen.

3) I died at twenty-four right out side of the courtyard’s gate on the hill.

4) I met Mother as Sailor Moon only a few years ago here when I was reincarnated.

5) I came as the false Princess Serenity to rebuild the palace and landed here.

It was where mother’s spirit stayed. Stepping towards the center my black eyes scanned for signs of the queen.

Seeing none, I knew she didn’t want to answer my questions. “MOTHER!” I shouted, “ANSWER MY QUESTIONS OR I’LL HUNT DOWN SERENITY AND KILL HER MYSELF!”

Queen’s Selenity’s spirit suddenly appeared, “Why do you hate your sister so much, Diana?”

“Why? You loved her much more than me. All I wanted was some of that love. Then when I finally found someone that showed me the love I needed, you took it away from me.

“Then, if that wasn’t enough, for years you’ve made me masquerade as Princess Serenity. I finally had the love I wanted, but no it was for Serenity, not Diana.

“By a small bit of luck I had a dream last night and remembered everything through my own eyes.

“Destiny, ripped Shini-chan away from me but not anymore. For no one has control over me!”

“Bravo, Di!” Shinigami said stepping out of the shadows smiling. “I’ve been looking for you, wondering when I would see my Di again.”

“Shini-chan? Is that really you? Or is she warping my mind so I would feel the pain of losing you again?” he walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me.

“Shuu, don’t cry, Diana. We’re together again and that’s all that matters.”

Selenity choose that moment to make her forgotten presence known again, “Get your hands off my daughter—”

However I interrupted, “You have no right, you selfish woman. I have finally found the happiness you stole from me, and there isn’t a thing you can do.”

“Come on, Di,” Shini-chan said pulling me gently through a portal with him.

The Moon Base

3rd Person POV

“Shini-chan, in this life, I’m known as Tsukino Usagi, by my friends and family,” she said once we appeared in the moon base.

“I’m Duo Maxwell, since Shinigami isn’t a common name.”

He was leading her through the base, “You’re a gundam pilot!” she said with a bit of shock.

“Yep, guess which one?” he said smiling at me while he wrapped a arm around my waist.

“I think my sister could figure that one out,” she said, “you pilot Deathscythe.”

“Yep, that’s why we’re here, I can’t leave it.”

The pair maneuvered Deathscythe to a mobile suit carrier since they didn’t feel like wasting the energy to open a portal large enough to take the mobile suit and themselves to earth. As soon as they were done, with only a few guard casualties, they were heading to earth.

The Shuttle In Between The Moon and Earth

“Ano, Duo?”

“Hai, Usa-chan?”

“May I call my mother and father from this life?”

“You didn’t tell them you left, did you?”

“No, I wanted answers so badly I left without telling Luna, my parents, or the other senshi,” suddenly realization appeared on her face. “Rei’s going to kill me, I missed a senshi meeting. She’s going to rant about me not being a good enough princess and other things.”

“Who’s Rei?”

“Princess Pyro of Mars, Sailor Mars, and Poseidon-kun’s fiancée. Unfortunately she doesn’t remember Poseidon. She fell for the earth prince, before we knew who he was, and a guy named Yuuchiro, which I think is her brother.”

“Keeping it in the family. Trowa, will freak when I tell him.”

“I should confess, when I believed I was Serenity I, too, had a thing for Endy-baka. His name now is Chiba Mamoru and I’m going to kill him. Is Trowa, Poseidon?”

“I forgive you. Don’t kill him or you sister might steal another guy. And hai, Poseidon wanted to be Trowa in this era.”

“So what about the others?”

“Aries is now known as Heero Yuy, Nataku is known as Chang Wufei, and Zeus is known as Quatra Winner.”

“Princess Aisu of Mercury is Mizuno Ami and Sailor Mercury, Princess Aphrodite of Venus is Aino Minako and Sailor Venus, Princess Tsuta of Jupiter is Kino Makoto and Sailor Jupiter. All of them are waiting for their loves without knowing it.”

“Let’s play matchmaker and not tell the girls about the guys and vice versa.”

“Ah, well when the war’s over you bring the guys to Tokyo and together we’ll plot how to get them together.”

Tokyo International Spaceport, Sunset

“Promise, you’ll return to me after the war.”

“That’s a promises, Di!” Duo flashed a smile and dashed back onto the carrier blasting off to space.

Usagi flipped open her communicator and pressed the all call button. The minute screen split into nine parts and eight voices shouted at once.

"Usa-chan!" the inners shouted. "Koneko!" Haruka said simultaneously. "Hime!" Michiru and Hotaru said. "Usako!" Mamoru shouted.

“Okay, I know I’m in trouble, meet me at the shine in a minute,” she closed the communicator, Setsuna would only need a little explanation.

Transforming she picked up her scythe and cut a portal to the temple.

End Chapter

Hai--Yes

[Anime Monster]

Chapter 5: Usagi, Where Were You?

Rei’s Temple

Usagi’s POV

I already knew all the senshi would be at the temple when I got there. Setsuna, I bet, had gathered them. So when I stepped through the portal as Chaos Sailor Moon, nine voices gasped.

“Please, save your questions until I explain,” I said reversing my transformation.

Everyone nodded, but Setsuna couldn’t resist asking, “How?!”

“I knew you were going to say that, Dokkyo!” I said using a name she hadn’t heard for years. “I’ll begin with the dream I had last night,” I than proceeded to tell them what I dreamt omitting all the gods except Shinigami. “I then went to the moon to get answers. As I neared, I remembered a lot more. I remembered I was actually Diana, eldest daughter of Queen Selenity,” I said adding a sneer to my mother’s name, “fifth of Apollo. I remember how I was a daddy’s girl and felt unloved by my mother. Serenity was loved more by her and she was your half-sister Minako.”

Minako gasped, “You and I are step-sisters?!”

“Hai, mother fell in love with your father, King Ai, he had an affair with her. Eventually your mother and father divorced and he married her.”

“Ai…” Minako whispered, memories flodding her mind of her father, childhood, and sisters. She had literally worshipped her older step-sister Diana, but disliked her half-sister because she couldn’t fight like Diana, “I remember you and the brat.”

Usagi nodded and continued with her meeting her mother and mentioned that she had saw someone from long ago, but didn’t mention who. “Rei-chan,” she added on a final note, “Pyro, you need to break up with Yuuchiro, he’s your brother.”

Rei got up, “Excuse me, I’m going to be sick.”

Usagi laughed, leaned back, and sighed looking up at the stars that had started to sprinkle the night sky, “Good luck,” she whispered, hoping he could hear her.

The other senshi tried asking questions, but she ignored them thinking back. “Gomen, minna, but I think we have to finish up tomorrow, the entire Tokyo police department is probably looking for me.”

“See you tomorrow, Usa-chan,” they all said. Mamoru seemed to have taken this news well and was being a reasonable friend.

“Ja, minna-chan,” I shouted as I ran down the temple steps at top speed toward home.

Tsukino residence

Usagi’s POV

I opened the door to my house and stepped inside. Looking around my stomach growled and seeing no one, not ignoring the fact that I hadn’t eaten in twenty-four hours, I walked into the kitchen. Quickly assembling and eating a ham and cheese sandwich without mayo I washed it down with a lemon-lime pop. I figured my parents must have passed out with worry so I was about to go upstairs and take a nap before confessing when the kitchen door opened and in stepped the worried figures of Tsukino Ikuko and Tsukino Kenji.

I looked at them and opened my mouth as Luna came down stairs with Shingo, “Minna, I have some explaining to do.”

Tsukino Kenji looked at me before shouting, “WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?”

“I’ll explain that, if you’ll sit down and if Luna will help me,” Luna stared at me as if to say ‘You can’t be thinking of telling them your deepest secret?’

Everyone sat down and I began with, “All I ask through my tell is that you believe me and some pretty outlandish ideas.”

“Why wouldn’t we believe you?” Ikuko asked.

“This story is so hard to believe, that I wouldn’t believe it if it wasn’t for the fact that I had proof.

“I’ve wanted to tell you the tell for a long time, but I feared for your safety. It all started one thousand years ago in a place called the Silver Alliance during the Silver Millennium.

“It was a time of happiness, prosperity, and peace for the entire universe. Our solar system was a powerful alliance known as the Silver Alliance which was ruled by Queen Selenity. The planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto each had princesses and senshi to protect themselves and the heads of the alliance.

“Queen Selenity had two children who were half-sisters. Diana was the eldest daughter whose father was the sun god Apollo. Serenity was the younger whose father was the Venician King, Ai. Diana and Serenity had a six year age difference and loved each other very much. Tha was until Serenity turned nine and Diana turned fifteen.

“This was the night that everyone expected Diana to be crowned high princess and the future Selene, goddess of the moon, but they were in for a shock. Selenity choose Serenity to be her heir because of her fear of her eldest daughter’s power. Diana was already a goddess in her own right being the daughter of a god and goddess, she was however extremely powerful. She was a contradiction the moon and the sun existed within her body. Selenity betrayed her older daughter when she refused to trust her with the Silver Alliance.

“From that moment on Diana never uttered a word to Serenity. Serenity tried to get Diana to forgive her, it wasn’t her fault that her mother choose her. Diana didn’t care though, because that was that was the day she met Shinigami and she started to court him. Chaos Sailor Moon was born three years later when he proposed.

“Diana had been given the powers of Sailor Moon the same day she met Shinigami. She, Aisu, the princess of Mercury; Aphrodite, the princess of Venus; Pyro, the princess of Jupiter; and Tsuta, the princess of Jupiter joined Sendo, the princess of Saturn; Sora, the princess of Uranus; Watatsumi, the princess of Neptune; and Dokkyo, the princess of Pluto as senshi that day.

“After a few years Diana calmed down, only breaking her calm and acknowledging Serenity’s presence on the night of her engagement.

“Finally Serenity was turning eighteen. A ball was being thrown in her honor, but none of the senshi were enjoying it. The earth prince, Endymoin, had come with bad news an attack, he had said, was eminent. They all tried, however to enjoy themselves. Pyro and Poseidon were waltzing, Aisu was just with Nataku, Aphrodite and Aries were singing a duet, and Tsuta and Zeus were sparring. Diana and Sendo were talking together when Shinigami stole Diana from his imoto-chan. Endymoin and Serenity were waltzing and Watatsumi and Sora were arguing over whether or not to dance. Dokkyo was standing with her queen, trying to convince her to end the party early.

“Dokkyo knew, being the guardian of time and space, that an attack was going to happen. When an explosion shook the palace and the senshi left with one last kiss to their lovers she knew it was their last one.

“Aisu was the first to fall causing Nataku to say more than he ever said to anyone. Aphrodite went next with Aries vowing vengeance and blaming himself for not preventing the war. Pyro and Tsuta died in the same blast, Poseidon and Zeus fell into each others arms crying for their loves, wanting to die that day. Endymoin died protecting Serenity who followed quickly killing herself. Diana was next to die, distracted by her sister’s scream and her own guilt.

“Queen Selenity, seeing the destruction, had an idea. She didn’t approve of Diana and Shinigami’s engagement, but couldn’t do anything about it out of fear. So she sent everyone to the future making Diana think she was Serenity.

“Diana was reborn into a girl that came to be called Tsukino Usagi,” with that I stood and held up my locket. “MOON CHAOS POWER! MAKE-UP!” I shouted and instantaneously Chaos Sailor Moon stood where Usagi had once stood. “I only regained my true memories last night, and had to go to the moon to get answers from Queen Selenity. Please keep what I said tonight a secret, if anyone found out that you know who I am, the enemy might capture you and torture the information out of you. I’m tired now, so I’m sorry for cutting our meeting short, I’ll answer other questions later, oyasuminasia.”

Chapter 6: Serenity-hime!

Relena Peacecraft was getting ready for another peace conference. Since finding out her true name, she advocated peace like no tomorrow. Looking at her hair she put it up in a new style, twin odangos. ‘Why does that look so familiar?’ she asked herself and left for the conference.

She wore a white dress with sea shells for straps. When she arrrieved to the cameras she smiled and began.

Tsukino House

Usagi woke up early and realized, “Kuso, it’s Saturday.” Luna was curled up at her feet and Usagi woke her, “So how’d they take it?”

“I think they slept in the living room after realization hit them.”

“Lets check on them, shall we?” Luna nodded and Usagi changed into a black mini with a man’s dress shirt thrown over a black tank top.

Usagi was at the hall phone when it rang. “Kuso,” she said. She picked it up before the second ring, “Moshi moshi?”

“Usagi, it’s Michiru, turn on the T.V. Relena Peacecraft is giving a speech, but there is something for you to see.”

“Okay, I’ll do that, call back in a minute,” she put the receiver back and went down stairs grabbing the portable. Her parents and brother were laying in the chairs and on the sofa.

Usagi sat on the floor and flipped the T.V. channels until the sight made her nearly faint. She dialed the inners and told them what Michiru told her. As soon as she hung up Michiru called back, “Have you seen it?”

“Hai! Emergency senshi meeting in a half-hour, gather the others.”

“I don’t know where Setsuna is.”

“That’s okay,” she hung up and woke her brother and parents. “I have to go to a senshi meeting, something has come up. I’ll be back soon.”

Her parents nodded and Usagi left. On the way she called Setsuna and the inners to Rei’s for the meeting.

Half-Hour Later

Usagi spoke up first, “So is she real or another fake?”

Everyone looked at each other, Setsuna spoke next, “Maybe we should look for the crystal, after all Usagi sent it to the true Serenity.”

Usagi concentrated an atlas of the world, colonies, and moon open in front of her from Ami. Her finger hovered over the map, a soft glow admitting from her body.

It had gone unspoken that she’d find the crystal, since she was a Tsuki-jin hime. She had also had it sealed in her for years and carried it as Sailor Moon.

Suddenly her finger rested on the paper and the glowing stopped, “Sang Kingdom,” Usagi said, her finger resting on its location.

“We need a more specific map,” Ami said. “I’ll go get one from the library,” she got up, but before she could leave...

“Iie, I only need to be in Sanq to lead you to the crystal,” Usagi said.

“Then what are we waiting for?” Minako said.

“Let’s go!” Makoto finished.

“Hold it,” Haruka said.

“Wouldn’t your parents think it’s odd that you suddenly leave for Sanq without warning?” Hotaru said.

“Besides it is probably wiser if Usagi only takes a few senshi, not a large group. People might think we’re OZ employees or terrorists trying to break Sanq’s alliances,” Michiru said.

“I agree,” Usagi said. “My parents know the truth, but yours don’t, Rei, Minako, Ami. I want the Inners and Hotaru to keep the peace here and Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna to accompany me.”

The senshi could tell she was keeping a secret, but what? Setsuna knew and thought it a funny idea to see what happens between the inners and their loves.

“I’ll call mom and dad to tell them I’m going on senshi business for awhile. I’ll see if Hotaru can stay there. If not Makoto has a room I bet would be okay, right?”

“Yeah, I wouldn’t mind,” Makoto said.

Usagi went to the phone and dialed.

Ikuko: Usa-chan, was it true what you and Luna said.

Usagi: Hai. I’m calling to tell you I have some out of town senshi business, I don’t know when I’ll be back, but I’ll go to school.

Ikuko: Why are you calling, if you are leaving?

Usagi: I want you to take care of Hotaru. She’s Sailor Saturn. Michiru and Haruka, Neptune and Uranus respectfully, are coming with me and usually take care of her.

Ikuko: Hai, she’ll stay in your room.

Usagi: I’ll bring her by and grab some clothes before I leave.

Ikuko: Stay in touch and stay in school. Just because you will be the goddess of death, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have to know math.

Usagi: Okay, I’ll be there in an hour, got to get Hotaru’s stuff. Can you get some bags for me to pack in?

Ikuko: Hai.

Usagi hung up and rejoined the senshi. “She didn’t want to let me leave, but I convinced her,” she said. “Also Hotaru will be staying in my room.”

“We must be prepared for an extended stay,” Hotaru said.

“Hai, that is why I wanted you all to remain, contact us if you need us and we will drop everything and come. Only contact us by communicator if it is an Emergancy.”

“Hai, Usa-chan,” the inners said.

“May I come, too?” Mamoru, who had been silently observing asked.

Usagi thought for a moment and said, “Hai, if we are finding the princess, she’ll want her love.”

Together the outers, Mamoru, and Usagi went to the outers’s home, picked up things needed and went to Mamoru’s place. Mamoru emerged holding some bags and several Fountain Drink cups, for the girls, who had no bags (sub space pockets fit anything).

They went to Usagi’s last, they were going to be late so Usagi opened a portal and delivered them inside. “Mom, I’m here!”

Ikuko came downstairs, “The bags are upstairs, I also made you a meal, so you can have my cooking when you arrive.”

“Oh, mom this is Ten’oh Haruka,” she gestured to the woman dressed as a man, “Kaioh Michiru,’ the woman with a hand on the cross dresser’s arm bowed slightly, “Meioh Setsuna,” she waved from the back and nodded, “Chiba Mamoru,” he grasped her and hand and kissed the top, “and Tomoe Hotaru.”

The young girl stepped forward, “Thank you for allowing me to stay. I’m very grateful. Usagi didn’t want to leave Tokyo unguarded while she was gone. I’m the second strongest next to her, and the inners are staying.”

“It is a pleasure. Thank you for the explanation of why you were staying I assumed senshi business met all of the senshi were going. Do you have a key to your house, in case you left anything you might need?”

Setsuna stepped forward, “I have some planets in the house, I’ll pay a thousand yen if your son will water them once a week,” she handed a key over.

“Hai! What is the address?”

Setsuna told, “... and also the gate’s password is Outers.”

“I’ll tell him, Hotaru will go with him the first few times, so he doesn’t get lost or into something he shouldn’t.”

Usagi came back down, “I’m packed, say goodbye to Shinjo and dad for me.”

Ikuko wrapped her daughter in a hug, “I will, Usagi.”

Luna’s head appeared from one of Usagi’s bags, “We must leave, senshi. Goodbye, Ikuko, and thank you for never feeding me dry cat food.”

Ikuko laughed, “You’re welcome, crescent-moon bald spot kittie.”

Everyone laughed and said goodbye before leaving.

‘I don’t know when I’ll be back, but I know who I’ll be,’ Usagi thought as they stepped through a portal to Sanq.

Chapter 7: Coach Tsukino

Relena Peacecraft came home from the speech filling drained. Her hair was still in odangos and falling just past her chest. When she got in she was informed the five boys were in her office.

Walking in, she collapsed in her chair from exhaustion. A blonde boy with blue eyes asked, “Daijouba ka, Relena-san?”

“Daijouba, Quatre-kun, just tired,” she replied. “What are you guys doing here?”

“We’re hiding out here for awhile,” Heero stated.

“With Zero in the hands of OZ and Trowa without his memory,” Duo said, “what else can we do?”

“We can be strong and fight!” Wufei said.

“You mean go to our deaths? This way we can come up with a strategy,” Duo stated.

“I can’t believe you, of all people, fear death,” Wufei mumbled to himself, though Duo heard.

“She doesn’t have to know, yet, Nataku,” Duo whispered so quietly Wufei bearly heard.

“Stop it,” Trowa whispered to Wufei who was prepared to pound Duo to the ground.

Someone knocked and a girl with black hair in a low pony tail with green eyes came in. She wore the Peacecraft School’s uniform in the female version, “Excuse me, Peacecraft-sama, but there are four women and a man here to take the place of the teachers that left,” she said.

“Send them in,” she left and Relena turned to the guys. “Your last schedules are still good, just go to class.”

As the boys were leaving, in stepped Usagi and the gang. Duo glanced at Usagi and telepathically said, *Why are you here?!*

*Aw... and I’d hoped you’d be glad to see me,* she replied in the same matter.

*I am, but why?*

*Doesn’t Relena’s appearance strike you as odd?*

*Yeah... I understand. We’ll continue this later,* Duo left and Usagi looked at Relena.

“Hello, I’m Tsukino Diana and these are my associates, Ten’oh Sora, Kaioh Watatsumi, Meioh Dokkyo, and Chiba Endymoin. We would like to apply for jobs. I would like to teach Phys. Ed,” Usagi said.

“Automotives,” Haruka said.

“Band,” Michiru replied.

“Physics,” Setsuna said.

“Geometry,” the last stated.

“I’ll need to see your teaching credentials and do a background check. But I think you’ll get the job, I’m pretty desperate with five key teachers resigning at the same time,” Relena said.

“We understand,” Usagi said.

“Will you excuse me,” Setsuna said, “I left our credentials in the car.”

Usagi put a hand to her head, “Dokkyo, I’d swear you’d loose your head...” she mumbled.

Setsuna left and about five minutes later returned with teaching certificates and handed thme to Relena. A few moments later she handed them back, “Thank you, could you start immediately?”

“Hai!” Usagi said.

“Good, I’ll show you the class rooms,” she got up and the group followed her out. They reached a classroom with a blank name plate and Geometry under it. She beckoned Mamoru in. A class of about fifty sat talking, the five boys from earlier sat in the back.

“Class, this is Professor Chiba, he will be your new Geometry teacher.”

She left him, hearing him bring the class to order and take attendance.

The group walked up a set of stairs and entered a class full of lab tables and chalk boards with about twenty students.

“Class this is Professor Meioh, she will be teaching Physics here.”

She left her to get to know her students and teach them.

They walked back down stairs and to another building. The smell of saw dust, old gym socks, motor oil, and reeds assaulted their noses. They walked down a hall, the sound of instruments could be heard as the other sounds (a car alarm, basketballs, and band saws) dissipated. When the sound reached a pinnacle they opened a door labled, ‘Band.’ Instantly the noise ceased, leaving echoing silence. Michiru fallowed Relena in.

“This is Professor Kaioh, she will be conducting class.”

They walked back down the halls, a single Trumpet playing for its seat. Reaching the car alarm room Haruka briskly walked in and disconnected it, obviously annoyed by it.

“Class, this is Professor Ten’oh, I’m sure she has some new rules for you.”

As the smell of gym socks got stronger Usagi commented, “I think they’ll be getting F’s in my class, if they don’t take their clothes home on Fridays.”

“The last Phys. Ed. teacher didn’t make them shower, use deodorant, or take their clothes home. The janitors have complained. Oh are you Professor Tsukino or Coach Tsukino?”

“Coach, and my locker rooms and gyms will be spotless and smell of Pinesol before I leave.”

“They don’t have to be that good, just improved.”

They reached the gym and Usagi whistled, instantly the balls fell and everyone turned to see two women with blond odangos. The one with three and a braid stepped forward, “I’m Coach Tsukino, I may look nice, but if you break a rule it’ll be push-ups, sit-ups, and laps for a week.”

The class nodded and Relena left, knowing she didn’t have to do anything and wanting to do the background checks, which (as Setsuna made sure) would come up clean.

Later

“Last class, minna,” Duo said to his fellow pilots. They all had gym and Duo was excited. He had a feeling Usa-chan would be there.

“Keep your--‘excitement’--to yourself, Maxwell,” Wufei said, he was angry that the last class was taught by an onna.

“Wu-man’s pissed about ‘a,’ quote, ‘week onna,’ teaching gym,” Duo teased.

“Injustice, I’ll defeat you, Maxwell,” Wufei said trying to strangle Duo.

The group was in the gym and if you’d look around everyone was sweatdropping. No one noticed the blond, other than Trowa and Heero, but did when she was yelling at Wufei for trying to commit murder in her gym.

“You’re the weak onna teaching this class!” Wufei asked with disgust.

“Last I checked, I was an onna and teaching this class. Only thing you got wrong is the weak part. To prove we will spar,” she said dropping into a fighting stance.

“I’m not sparring with some weak onna,” Wufei said.

“Why? Afraid you’ll lose?” Usagi asked.

“Hardly,” Wufei said dropping into fighting stance.

*Let’s see if you’ve improved, Nataku,* Usagi said telepathically.

*I should be asking you, Diana.*

The two launched at each other. They blocked each other’s punches and kicks while lashing out with their own. Soon they were grappling, both evenly matched.

Both looked for an opening, but Usagi saw it first. She flipped him over her head with her and used the moment to plant her fee in his stomach, twisting his wrists at the same time.

“If I hear you call another woman weak, I’ll make you run laps for a week, while chanting ‘Women are strong. Women are powerful. I’m weak, and Coach Tsukino showed me.’”

He gulped and then listened to Usagi’s instructions. They spent the rest of the day fencing, Duo getting to partner up with Usagi.

Needlessly said Duo and Usagi were telepathically talking to each other.

Script

Usagi: Relena is my sister.

Duo: What if it is another fake?

Usagi: No, it couldn’t be. I sent the crystal to the true Princess Serenity. I’m relying on the crystal’s power to guide me.

Duo: Nani? How?

Usagi: I’ve carried it for years, with a fragment inside me for more than fourteen years, I know what its magic feels like.

Duo: Okay. Usagi, since you are a different person in this life, will you still marry me?

Usagi: D-chan, I’m shocked that you had to ask.

Duo: So is that a yes?

Usagi: mental sweatdrop Are you playing dumb? Of course it meant yes!

Duo: HeeHeeHee. So any ideas for the guys?

Usagi: When the war ends come to Tokyo and bring them to the Crown Arcade & Fruit Parlor. It’s where the inners and I usually hang out and flirt with Motoki-kun.

Duo: Should I worry?

Usagi: No, I’ve know Motoki-kun since Junior High. He’s like an older brother to me. Besides he has a finacee and I have you.

Duo: I knew you’d always be fateful. I love you.

Usagi: Just don’t gather a harem of women like I know it’s possible for you to do.

Duo: I can’t help that they are naturally attracted to my good looks and charm.

Usagi: You’re still the same god I fell for back then.

Duo: Why shinimegami it’s almost like you think I’m static and unchanging.

Usagi: You know I don’t think that. You’re stil so unpredictable.

Duo: That’s why you love me.

Usagi: I love you for more than that.

End Script

Usagi looked at her watch and gave to short blows on her whistle (she got it during lunch, they arrived in the morning). “Everyone hit the showers and take your smelly clothes home.”

Heero walked over to her and asked, “May we use the school’s washer and dryer?”

“Hai, but you’ll have to help clean up the locker rooms,” Usagi said.

Heero nodded and went to the guys locker rooms. A few minutes later, the bell rang.

Haruka and Michiru walked toward the gym. “I wonder if Koneko’s class went well,” Haruka said.

“Not if she smiled and allowed them to walk all over her,” Mamoru said. He and Setsuna joined the pair heading for the gym.

“I’m sure she did fine,” Setsuna said.

They heard a male voice say, “WHY ARE YOU HERE!”

“Aw, Nataku, you almost sound glad to see me. You know I wouldn’t leave my D-chan alone,” came a familiar blond’s voice, from the guys locker room.

Entering, the group noticed a guy with messy brown hair only wearing a pair of black spandex pants, putting clothes in the washer. Another guy, this one with a brown unibang, in blue jeans, was cleaning the covers for the flourestant lights. Another guy, a blond in khaki pants and a pink shirt, was saying to the laundry guy to not put colors with his whites. They saw a guy with a brown braid wearing all black arguing with another guy with black hair in a tight pony tail wearing white pants and a blue tank top. Then the familiar blond in black shorts and T-shirt yelling at the guy with black hair.

“DIANA!” the three girls shouted simultaneously.

“Oh, hello guys,” she turned to the other guys. “HEY, BAKAS,” the guys turned to her, “say hello to Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Endymoin.”

“Hello, I’m Quatre Raberba Winner otherwise known as Zeus,” Quatre said.

“Hello, Trow Barton or Poseidon,” Trowa said.

“Hi, Heero Yuy, Aries,” Heero stated.

“I don’t know why I have to say hello to weak onnas and the even weaker Earth ouji,” Wufei said.

“Don’t mind Chang Wufei aka Nataku, he’s always like that. I’m Duo Maxwell. Shinigami at your service,” Duo said sweeping into a low bow.

Diana laughed and playfully punched his arm, “Come on, Shinigami, I need help with washing the floors.”

“Right away, Shinimegami,” Duo said following.

The others blinked and turned to Setsuna, “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!” Haruka shouted.

“These five guys were, and still are, gods back in the Silver Millennium. No one worships them anymore, but during the Silver Millennium people erected temples to them. The five are some of the most powerful gods. Back then the God of Death, Shinigami, and Diana, a goddess without a job, were in love. Diana and Shinigami were engaged with only a few months until their wedding day when she died,” Setsuna explained.

“Why didn’t she tell us all in Tokyo!” Haruka asked agitated.

“She has her reasons. She doesn’t want the inners to know, yet,” Setsuna said. “Now let’s go work on the girls’ locker rooms.”
