Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Crossover With Non-anime Series Fan Fiction ❯ Dragoon Tales: The New Legend ❯ Chapter 1: Rescue ( Chapter 2 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Sailor Moon nor do I own the Legend of Dragoon. Well, I own the game, just not the copyrights or any of that legal stuff. They belong to Naoko Takuechi and Sony, respectively.

I've always wanted to write a crossover fic with Sailor Moon and Legend of Dragoon. Somehow the main character in LoD reminds me of Rei, so yea...Anyway, this is a first fic for me, so constructive criticism would be nice. Flamers, gawd, I really don't care for, so don't flame me; I'll just delete them. Anyway, shoujoai warning, so no likey, no read-ey.

Any questions or whatnot you can email me at turtlesaresocool@gmail.com



Chapter 1: Rescue


A young, dark haired woman wearing bright red armor sits atop a tree stump, her feet scuffling the dirt as she scans a war bulletin. Her long black hair flutters in the wind, and, if observed closely, seems to reflect waves of purple light as the sun shines on it. At her side hangs two long, curved swords; one was remniscent of an elongated scimitar while the other was shorter, much more dagger-like. Her red armor looks worn and dirtied from weeks of traveling, and a disgruntled look marrs her exotic features as she reviews the piece of paper held in one hand.

'Hmm, Chance of war more likely.' the woman reads to herself. She sighs a stuffs the note into a ratty looking bag on the ground next the the tree stump.

"I hope it's just a rumor."

Suddenly the forest grows quiet and birds stop chirping; the sound of hoofbeats become more evident as the young woman gathers up her belongings.

Many soldiers ride past the young woman's hiding place on horses, going up the trail and away from her; the young woman waits until the last one has gone by before emerging and standing on the broad path.

"Wow, that was close," she muttered darkly. She swung her bag onto her back and began to head down the path when two straggling horses taking up the rear nearly ran her over, two angry soldiers riding them. It was obvious by their dark blue uniform which warring country they were from.

'Sandorians, great,' the girl thought as she cursed her fate.

"Who are you? Are you a mercenary of Basil?"

The Sandorian soldier pulls out his spear and thrusts it at the girl.

"Answer!" the second soldier commands.

"No, merely a traveler. Now, please move aside. I must be on my way," was the curt reply. The soldiers, surprised by her rudeness, begin to sneer.

"Traveler eh? Whatsa traveler like you doin' carryin' a sword like that?" the first soldier prods. The two look at each other for a second before the other one dismounts and begins poking at her bag with his sword. This angered the young woman, who instinctively took a step back, a ready hand on the winged hilt of her long sword.

"What are you doing?"

"Are you drawing a sword against us?"

Before the young woman can react, a large roar is heard from nearby and a large tree comes crashing down behind her. The first soldier, shocked by the defeaning roar, falls from his horse. He looked his companion and they both scrambled back on their horses, swiftly riding off as the noise came nearer. Suddenly, a large creature leaps toward her, its large, clawed limbs slashing wildly. The young woman bats away a few swings from the clawed arms before giving up and deciding to run for it.

'This is not my lucky day,' she thought to herself, turning her head around to catch a glimpse of the dragon. It was closing in.

'I have to do something or I'll be killed!'

She barely avoids a swing, ducking and rolling just in time, then runs into a stream as another tree is felled by the beast. The raven haired woman then crosses a stream and ducks as the
claws fly by, severing a large tree directly in front of her. She climbs over the trunk and takes a breath.

"What a monster! Jeez, what crawled up his ass and died?"

She hears it roar in pleasure as massive claws dig into the trunk behind her.

"Shit!" the woman yells and she starts running again as the beast steps over and crushes the large tree trunk to pieces.

A dark blur catches her violet eyes as a young woman with black hair leaps from behind a bush to the right and grabs the her, pulling her to safety behind a large boulder off the path.

"Who are you?" the surprised girl asks. 'Why are you helping me?' she mentally adds, but decides against it.

"Shh! If you don't want to die, then be quiet," the woman whispers. The creature bashes the rock wall opposite the large boulder they are hiding behind. It looks around for a moment, then stomps off.

A raven head popped up from behind the rock. 'It's gone, thank the gods.' She eyed the stranger next to her suspiciously. The person before her looked nothing like a Sandorian or a Basilian soldier. Her long black hair, tied up in a small bun at the top of her head, were flecked with green as the sun shone on its cascading waves. She wore dark violet armor trimmed in gold, and the younger girl could see a two-horned circlet encircling her head beneath the fringe of hair. She glanced at one purple clad leg before turning to the long staff held in the woman purple-gloved hand. It was tall and ornate, and shaped like a large key, with a garnet colored jewel resting at its tip.

'This woman... there is something extraordinary about her. That weapon, her armor, they're all emanating some sort of power.' the raven haired woman thought to herself, feeling waves of unrecognizable power pulse around her. 'However, she did save my ass back there. I suppose it's common courtesy to thank her.'

"Thank you for your help. What exactly... was that thing?" she found herself asking. The taller woman turns around.

"It's a Dragon."

"Dragon!?"

The young woman looks horrified as the woman turns back to face her. Dragons were long extinct, the result of a long and tumultous war that occured even before the existence of this world. Most humans had little to no knowledge of these wars, let alone acknowledge the existence of a dragon.

"But it's strange. That village could've been easily destroyed without a dragon," the other woman said, pausing to think.

The younger girl's head snapped in her direction, concern and shock evident in her voice as she asked, "The village...? Are you talking about Seles!?"

The woman nods.

"Then those soldiers were....?"

"There won't be anything left by now."

The young woman shouts something incoherent to her and runs down the path. As she runs off, the woman watches as the garnet stone on her staff begins to glow a bright and deep violet. She stares at her weapon until the stone stops glowing, and waits as the tingles on her arm cease.

'That girl, who is she? Why is the Dragon Time Staff reacting so violently to her presence?'



============================================= ====

Here is a description of the characters (for those who haven't played the game) and pairings.

Rei (22)/Usagi (18)

Rei takes the role of Dart Feld in the original game. Her personality is like that in the Sailor Moon series, although here she is a bit denser and less uh...sharp-tongued. She still retains her impulsive, suspicious, and fiery characteristic. And Usagi, well, is still Usagi. A bit less whiny, a little weaker, but still the same.

Makoto (25)/Ami (22)

Makoto takes over the role of Lavitz in the game. She's a loyal knight, and still very much the Makoto of the Sailor Moon series, trustworthy, loyal, and honorable. However, she receives some of Lavitz's comedic talents and brash way of talking. Ami is still sweet, shy little Ami, and still a genius. She is the imperial advisor of the king and is shown in a relationship with Makoto at the beginning.

I'll show more character details when we get to them. Yup.
