Preface

"Supreme Thunder!" Sailor Jupiter yelled, releasing an attack.

The attack sped towards Sailor Mars. The electrical attack sizzled and crackled as it flew
through the air. Mars saw the attack and quickly jumped. As she arched through the air she
caught a glimpse of what had been behind her, Princess Serenity. "NOO!" she yelled in terror.

"Venus Love-Me Chain!" Sailor Venus yelled out, trying to get her princess out of harm's way.

The golden chain wrapped around Serenity's waist and Venus pulled with all her might. The
princess flew out of the lightning bolt's way just seconds before it would have hit her body and
fried her. She landed a few feet away and glared at Venus. "Why did you just do that?" she
asked crossly.

"To save your life Princess. If I hadn't done that, then Jupiter's lightning bolt would have hit
you," Venus explained. "Now let me ask you a question, why were you so close to our practice
field? You could have been seriously hurt."

"I was watching my guard. You have no idea how much I envy all of you. I want to be a senshi
and protect my people. I don't like having to rely on you to protect me," Serenity said.

"But it is our duty and honor to protect you. We wouldn't change that for anything," Mars said,
walking up.

"Serenity, you really shouldn't be here. I'll take you back to the palace," Mercury said.

"Fine, but I will find a way to fight as a senshi someday," Serenity vowed.

"Please, do not concern yourself with fighting. Remember this always, my princess, those who
cannot fight often wish they could. Those who do fight often wish they didn't have to. Believe
me, you do not want to fight. I don't like fighting, but I do so because I believe it to be for
a just cause," Mercury said while she and Serenity walked towards the palace.

"I will fight one day. Not for me, but for my people. That will be my cause," Serenity decided.

"Then I must pray that day never comes. I do not want to see you fight," Mercury said.

Little did Mercury know that her prayer would be answered and soon. That night was the fateful
night that Beryl and Metallia struck at the moon and stole the lives of the senshi and the
princess. As Queen Serenity layed on her pillar Luna and Artemis approached her. "You did it,
your highness. Metallia and Beryl were defeated," Luna said grimly.

"No, I did not defeat them. I merely sealed them away. They will return one day. You two will
have to reawaken the senshi and train them. That is your first priority. My daughter will be
hidden away, so do not worry about her. I will allow you to remain with Sailor Pluto until they
are reborn. If I were to put you into suspended animation your memories would be damaged.
Please take care, and do not dwell too long on this time. This was meant to happen or else
something would have stopped it. Good bye my advisors and my friends," Serenity said before
raising her crystal high.

A bright light emitted from the crystal and the two cats watched as all of the people of the moon
were enveloped in small bubbles and sent towards Earth. As the last one left Serenity slowly
closed her eyes and her arm fell to the ground. Luna picked up the crystal and put it away in a
sub-space pocket. Pluto appeared behind the cats and looked at the scene as a tear fell down her
face. She quickly wiped it away then caught the cats' attention. "We should be off. There is
no reason for us to stay here. The Silver Millenium has fallen after so long," she said, her
voice full of sorrow.
