Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ A New Future ❯ Chapter 1

Hi everyone! Oh yes, I am attempting another fic!! For those who e-mailed me about my first fic, "Destiny Challenged", I thank you again! I love getting responses about my fics, so please remember to email me and let me know how I am doing!

Disclaimer: Ok, we all know that I do not own any of these characters like Sailor Moon, or any of the other Scouts. I just have to mention that :) So now, on to the story!

It was a beautiful day in Neo-Crystal Tokyo, but Neo-Queen Serenity sat in the her room with all the shades shut, so none of the sunlight could disturb her thoughts. It seemed a million lifetimes flashed before her in those few moments. She thought back to the days on the Moon, when she was Princess Serenity. She thought of her life on Earth when she was Usagi, silly, clutzy, crybaby Usagi. She missed those days the most. Her friends beside her, reading manga, though Ami was always studying. She smiled when she thought of all the times she tried to get Ami to stop studying and just relax. She thought of Taiki, Yaten and Seiya. Seiya, her best friend for a while, she hadn't seen him since he left Earth after Galaxia's defeat. He wrote her once, but there was never anything more. She missed him dearly. She walked over to a wooden chest and pulled out the letter he sent her.

Odango,

I just wanted to write you a letter to say what I couldn't fully say in person. I wanted you to know that your smile meant the world to me, and always brightened up my day. No matter how many times I wanted to give up on my mission, you showed me never to give up. I miss you more than anything in the world, and I will love you forever. I wish I could have told you how I feel and look into your blue eyes once again, but I know that is impossible. Even though I know you can never love me back, please remember never to forget me. Even though I may be far away, you will always be close to me in my heart.

I will love you always,

Seiya

A tear slid down her face as she read the letter. She missed Seiya and needed his friendship now the most. It had been a year since Mamoru's death, but she was not able to move on yet. She didn't know how to live with out him by her side. She thought about the day he died.

"The palace is under attack!" Rei yelled, running down the halls to tell everyone. Everyone came out of his or her rooms.

"What?" asked Mako, hoping she heard Rei wrong. Minako and Ami looked at each other in surprise. Usagi and Mamoru came running out of their room with a surprised Chibiusa. Haruka and Michiru ran down the hall from their room.

"The palace is under attack!" Rei yelled again, looking at all the stunned faces. They all looked at each other sadly, knowing what had to be done. It had been peaceful for so long now. They all looked at the Queen and she sadly nodded her head.

"Moon Eternal..."

"Mars crystal power..."

"Jupiter crystal power..."

"Venus crystal power..."

"Mercury crystal power..."

"Uranus crystal power..."
"Neptune crystal power..."

"Make Up!!!"

The now transformed Sailor Senshi all started running for the front gates. "Do we know who this enemy is?" asked Sailor Moon.

"I have no idea." answered Mars.

"Sailor Moon, are you ready?" asked Tuxedo Kamen.

"As ready as I can be." answered Sailor Moon. They ran out if the palace. Chaos was everywhere. People running and screaming, hiding for their lives. Blasts were coming from so many directions, it was hard to pinpoint just one.

"We have to split up, or we will never be able to do anything." suggested Sailor Uranus.

"I agree." Sailor Moon replied. Every one went their own ways. "I thought it was finally over." thought Sailor Moon to herself. She heard the scouts attacking in the background. She ran a head, looking for the enemy when she heard a scream. His scream.

"Tuxedo Kamen!" she saw him fall and ran to him. He was blasted through his chest and when she reached him, it was as if time stood still. She gathered him to her and moved his hair away from his face. He took her hand. Tears were falling down her face as she looked at him. "Mamo-chan, don't go. Don't leave me." He went back to his normal self, and before she realized it, she was out of her senshi uniform also.

"Usako, be strong for Chibiusa. I will always be with you," he fought against the pain, "You must be strong and defeat this enemy."

"Mamo-chan...I need you with me!" she remembered the time when he left for America. Luna had told her to see him off with a smile. "I must do the same again," she thought to herself as she held him close to her, "If he must leave Earth, he will rest knowing I will be strong." She looked into his pain filled, worried eyes. She touched his face.

"Mamo-chan, I will be strong for you and Chibiusa, and also for everyone else who needs me right now. We will be together again, I am sure of it. You will always be in my heart." She leaned down and kissed him. When she looked at him after opening his eyes, she knew he was gone.

"Noooooooooo!!" she screamed into the darkened sky. She felt someone touch her shoulder. She looked up to see the senshi all around her. The blasts stopped coming and they all heard a voice.

"This fight is far from over! We will be back, and this time it will be final!"

Uranus took Mamoru from Usagi and brought him inside, while the other girls tended to Usagi and broke the news to Chibiusa.

She folded the letter and held it in her hands. She thought of Seiya, and how she missed him. It had been a long and trying year since Mamoru's death and she really missed having Seiya around. It had been a long time since she last saw him but never a day went by that she didn't think of her old friend. She wondered what he was doing now. She started to cry, which was a normal thing these days. She fell asleep, tears falling down her face and his letter in her hands.

The girls all sat in a circle, talking about Usagi and how they were worried. They were the only ones who still called her that. They were the only ones who still remembered the old days.

"It seems that ever since Mamoru passed on, she passed on with him." Ami remarked.

"We knew it would be hard on her, but she has to snap out of this. It has been a long year for us all, but with all of the fighting that has been going on, I am worried that they will defeat us! We have held up well so far, but it is only getting worse." Rei added.

"That is true, we definitely need more help." Mako said.

"I have an idea! Why don't we try to contact the Starlights? We could benefit by having them fight beside us, and if anyone can snap Usagi out of this, Seiya can!" Minako yelled.

Uranus was a little hesitant. "We don't need Usagi running to Seiya out of loneliness, and we don't know how to get a hold of them any ways."

"Actually, I do know." said Ami. "Taiki gave me a program to use, so if we ever needed I could contact him."

"You never said anything!" Minako yelled.

"I know, I just didn't want to have to use it unless it was necessary. I guess it is time to use it now." she decided.

Taiki and Yaten were talking to themselves while Seiya played the drums. He was thinking about Usagi, wondering how she was doing. It had been so long since he had last seen her. He wanted to contact her so many times, but thought better of it at the last minute. He never wanted to interfere with her life. He knew she married Mamoru, and they built an empire together. He also knew Taiki gave Ami something to communicate with them, and they never did use it, so he figured things must be all right with them.

Taiki and Yaten looked at their friend, knowing he was thinking about her. At first, when they realized Seiya's feelings for Usagi, they told him it was wrong and that it could never be. It was because they didn't trust her, and felt that Seiya shouldn't either. Then they realized that they were wrong, and they trusted her as well. They knew Seiya fell in love with her, and even though they couldn't understand it, they didn't say anything negative about it to him. They knew it hurt him deeply to leave her behind and never contact her again, but it was his way. They thought eventually time would heal him of her and he would return to normal, but as time went by, it proved them wrong once again. Not only did he never get over Usagi, but he seemed to love her more everyday. Yaten found at least 3 dozen letters to her that never were sent. Seiya never had a problem attracting people to him, but he always turned them away because they were never the one person who ever held his heart captive. Taiki knew that if it wasn't Usagi, they never had a chance with Seiya. A beep went off from another room and Taiki jumped. Seiya stopped playing.

"What is it Taiki?" he asked.

"If I am right, then it is the computer program I gave Ami." he said and all 3 got up and went to the beep.

"Is that what it is?" asked Yaten.

"Yes, hold on let me see what is going on." answered Taiki.

Yaten looked at Seiya. He looked like he was excited and scared. Taiki turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Seiya half yelled.

"Well it seems they have been under attack for a year now with no hope of it stopping..." Taiki started.

"Is Usagi ok?" Seiya interrupted.

"Hold on! Not only that but Mamoru was killed in battle a year ago and they are all worried about Usagi. They say she isn't strong enough to fight. They want us to go to Earth again and help them." Taiki finished.

"I will go see the Princess." Yaten volunteered.

"Odango. She must be awful, and it has been a year! I should have been there!" Seiya said with tears in his eyes.

Taiki looked at his friend. "Seiya, you couldn't have known. It isn't your fault."

"I have to go to her." Seiya said and left to pack.

Well that about does it for part 1!! I hope everyone likes it so far! I will explain a few more things in part 2, like the enemy, what happened in the year after Mamoru's departure, and what happened to the Starlights since their leave of Earth! All comments are appreciated!! Ja ne until part 2!!!!
