Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Chronicles Of The First Senshi ❯ Legend of the Six Senshi ( Chapter 2 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Yay! Second story of my trilogy <fanfair music plays> Okay yo know the drill, prologue first. This story happens many millenia after my first in the trilogy and once again, this is way before the original senshi like sailor pluto and sailor moon and Tuxedo Kamen were even born...lets see I know I had a disclaimer in here somewhere......

I Do not own Sailor Moon, never have and never will, wish I did but could never hope to so I must satisfy myself with writing fanfiction.
On with the show

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

Long ago, before the formation of the nine planets and the nine Sailor Senshi, there was actually twelve planets withen the solor system and with them, six Sailor Senshi. I am Iris, and I was one of the first six. Back then each of the twelve planets had a counterpart, a twin. Each twin had a light and dark side. On the light side there was me and 5 of my friends. There was Hestia, the leader of the Sailors, she was Sailor Star. A kind person at heart she was extremly loyal. Although Hestia made mistakes, when it counted she was there. Hestia's closest friend was Astrea, who was Sailor Justice. Astrea believed strongly in truth and balance, no matter what she would deal the cards fairly. A strong ally and a dangerous enemy by far. Idalia was the Senshi of Love. Idalia was truly in love with love, full of energy and always chasing after one prospective boyfriend or another. Although I think she may have had a son, but I can't remember him yet. Neoma was my best friend and also Sailor Eclipse, we were close. She was the protector and Senshi of the night. I know Neoma had many secrets, she liked to keep things hidden. I actually think she enjoyed the mystery. Zoe was the sweetest, she was Sailor Life. Zoe was always the timid one and very quiet, but she always lit up a room. I was Sailor Dawn. I admit being colorful and cheerful. Always the optimist and sometimes to the extreme, but still we were always friends. We all lived on our respective planets, however things were far from at peace. On our twin planets there lived the Dark Senshi. They always fought to take control of the galaxy and so we were always in combat. On the dark side was Melania, she was Sailor Oblivion and counterpart of Hestia. Astrea's dark twin was named Harliett, Sailor Suffering. Sailor Dusk was my twin, Maure. Sailor Hate was actually the strongest, her name was Damalis. Zadira was Neoma's twin, she was Sailor Curse. Another well known Senshi was Sailor Death, Vivian. Zoe always fought her heart out to defeat Death, however in some strange way I think they respected eachother. I am about to tell you this story because it must be told. We need not be forgotten for our sacrifice and our legacy.

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

I always woke at sunrise, I remember I loved to watch the sun rise over my beautiful planet. However the sun rising over my planet was a luxery unaffordable. The Dark Senshi had been getting stronger and so we all quartered on Hestia's planet so we could be ready for an attack. I was bunked in the same room with Neoma and a wonderful marble balcony that looked over the gardens below. I would like to say there was a beginning to this story, but there isn't. To look for a beginning would be like looking for a blossom in a wasteland. Instead I will begin this story just a few days before it all ended.
We had met in Hestia's grove to discuss the recent attacks of the Dark Senshi. So far Oblivion and the others had merely sent down their demons. Usually such attacks would not call for a sailor meeting, but these demons had been growing stronger.
"Hestia what is that you're looking at?"

Zoe was asking about the rather large round crystal Hestia was admiring. Hestia smiled as she let the light reflect off it's many faces "A crystal one of my aids had mined this morning, I think it looks like a star."

I smiled "How appropriate it was to be found in the morning." I admit nobody had any idea what I meant by saying this, so I had to explain "It's shine is equal to the rising sun."

Apparently I got an eyeroll from that comment.
Neoma delicatly took the crystal in her hands "It has power."

Hestia smiled taking back the crystal "And beauty too, I think I'll use it."

Astrea seemed to think it rather selfish, truthfully we all felt that way "Hestia you already control the gem, aren't you being just a little self-centered?"

Hestia sighed and slumped over "I think we could use it against the Dark Senshi, that's not selfish."

Astrea took the crystal and set it before all of us. "One of us will control the crystal, this excludes Hestia under the circumstances of her controlling the Gem. Idalia, what are you doing?"

We turned to see Idalia admiring a young couple. "They look so cute together!" she squeeled.

I giggled but not everyone was amused, the other senshi rolled their eyes. Astrea sighed and continued. "Now I have with me five cards, whoever recieves the red card will recieve the crystal."

Astrea then gave us each a card face down.
We immediatly looked at the face. I had an orange card, the rest had blue or green.
Astrea then turned to Zoe who was stroking a small bird "Zoe aren't you going to lift up your card?"

Zoe apparently had been distracted, she jumped when spoken to and immediatly flipped over her card. We stared down at the red face in surprise, Sailor Life would control the crystal. Astrea smiled and handed the crystal to Zoe. Zoe accepted it graciously. Idalia nodded in aprovement "Now we have more strength against the Dark Senshi."

I suppose it would make you happy to know that we joked the rest of the day, but it wouldn't be true. Just a few minutes after Zoe recieved the crystal the Star planet was attacked. "Do you feel that?" asked Zoe, when we shook our heads she stood up. "We're being attacked."

We all nodded and began to transform "Sailor Dawn Power, Make-Up!" The number of demons was devistating and there in the center was Sailor Curse. She laughed wickedly as she ordered the demons to advance. They came in hoards at us and all we could do was fight.
"Star Wonder!" An array of stars vanquished a line of demons.

"Blind Justice Swordance!" Justice turned her sword into a numerous weapon destroying the demons surrounding her.

"Dawn Rainbow Blaze!" My rainbow extended like fire to burn many demons that tried to advance.
"Love Sweet Kiss." Love sent a kiss to the attacking demons, which caused them to vanish.

"Dark Eclipse Shadow!" Eclipse had sent a black wind at Sailor Curse, their attacks matched as they locked in combat.

"Life's Beautiful Joy!" Life sent her arrows at the remaining demons. With the crystal sent comfortably on her bow it seemed to make her attacks stronger. Noticing her army gone, Sailor Curse retreated from battle, leaving us to look at the destruction.

Life looked around at the scortched grass "This can't go on much longer."

Sailor Love nodded in agreement. We all de-transformed back into princess form and I rested my hand on Zoe's shoulder. "Let's go back to the palace."

As we began to leave Hestia pointed to the sky "What's that?"
We all looked to see a black arrow land in front of us. Neoma looked at it closely and picked it up, removing the note and handing it to Hestia. "Sailor Senshi, I feel I must meet with you urgently. If you wish to discuss the war meet with me secretly under the stars in Earth Valley-Sailor Senshi, Sailor Death."

Neoma shook her head "It's a cruel trick, she means to kill us."

Zoe shook her head "The why meet us in Earth Valley?"

I suppose I should explain. Earth Valley was nuetral territory and actually a large meteor caught in orbit that no one owned and no one wanted to. Earth Valley was a dangerous place and you didn't go there unless you were sincere not to disturb the tiniest detail. The creatures on the meteor were dangerous and isolated as well as oddly compulsive and they liked things just so.
Astrea flipped a coin "I think we should at least find out what she wants."
Hestia nodded "Alright, but we go as senshi, Iris will lead the way through the valley."
I nodded and we continued towards the palace.
We were all sligthly on edge the rest of the day. Astrea constantly polished her sword and Idalia was constantly choosing ideal mates for us. Apparently my match was a night lover. When the stars came out we transformed and made the flight to Earth Valley. It is difficult to describe what walking in earth valley is like, but I will try. Imagine a barren wasteland, now imagine that a thousand fold. Picture furry spiked gremlin looking badgers with large teeth. Now imagine a thousand buttons an inch apart and try walking through without so much as touching one knowing it will set an alarm to release viscious hounds. That is what Earth Valley was like, and I was picked to guide us to the one safe spot on the entire meteor.



It took nearly an hour before we reached our goal, Sailor Death was already there, waiting. "I've asked a council with you because both you and I know my comrades have gone too far. I may be Sailor Death but I only respect death, I don't lavish it. I know and you know if I'm discovered talking to you I will die."
We all nodded, Sailor Life stepped foreward. "Why did you want to meet us?"
Death sighed "The Dark Senshi are planning one of their most powerful attacks, they will flood your worlds with armies of demons, there will be nothing left."
Sailor Star shrugged "So what do you suggest we do?"
Sailor Death nodded "Attack first. The attack will begin two days from now."
We all nodded and agreed to meet the next day. To truthfully explain what had happened after that I have to tell you what happened in
the Dark Kingdom of Oblivion This is as much as I can possibly put
together.Before Sailor Death returned Damalis was beginning to express concern to Melania over Vivian. Melania was aware of Vivian's uneasiness lately and agreed Vivian should be watched closely, Maure was the one to do it. When Vivian came back she stayed away in her quarters.

In the Star palace we were preparing for the attack. I remember now Idalia was taking special care to keep her son, Eos safe.
Before we were scheduled to meet Sailor Death Maure watched as Vivian started to leave. She and Zadira approached Vivian to question her intentions. They grabbed her on either side as Damalis stood before her and smirked. They brought Vivian before Harliett who, in turn, asked Melania what to do with her. Melania just laughed and told Harliett to deal with it, as she had other things to take care of.

We waited for hours after dark, but Sailor Death never came. Finally we
gave up and returned to the Star palace. It was there Idalia raised the question "Do you think something happened to Vivian?"
Astrea nodded "It would make sense."
Concern filled my eyes and sunk to my feet. "Then they may know we are aware of their plan."
Zoe appeared upset as she stood up. "We have to save Sailor Death."
Neoma shook her head "That is suicide, she could already be dead."
I shook my head "Maybe not."
Idalia nodded "I agree with Iris and Zoe, If Vivian is still alive
we owe it to save her."
Hestia, who had remained silent throughout the discussion, finally spoke "We save Vivian."

We arrived at the Dark castle at sunrise. I was surprised because to me it still looked beautiful, even now. It was unbelievable we met up with such little resistance. This either meant they were preparing for an attack, were already attacking, or this was an elaborate trap to slaughter us. As I found out later, I was right on the first two counts. The demons were doing last minute training on one of the moons. It was surprisingly simple to enter the Dark Castle. Neither of us enjoyed the simplicity, it was all too easy, we were right. Just as we walked through, the doors closed behind us. Four of the Dark Senshi stood before us. There was Sailor Dusk, Sailor Suffering, Sailor Curse, and Sailor Hate. Sailor Star began to look around "Where's Sailor Oblivion?"
Sailor Hate laughed "She is on her way to put an end to your pathetic worlds."
Fear crossed all our minds as Sailor Justice nodded to Star "go, stop Oblivion." Sailor Star nodded and took flight after Oblivion. Sailor Life then turned to us "I will find Sailor Death."
Life took off through the halls as we attacked. I admit now the battle was too evenly matched.
We delivered equal blows and felt equal pain. Perhaps if the Gem or Crystal were with us our advantage would have been greater, but instead it was long and exausting until I had pinned Dusk on the ground. What surprised me was her smile as she began to die "I will always live, but you must know that. Here's a new fact, Sailor Oblivion left to destroy your world completely, there will be nothing left, the explosion will cause a chain reaction. Life is no longer an option, everything
will die Sailor Dawn, everything."
Her body vanished and scattered everywhere in mist. I had no time, I had to try and save my planet. I didn't even listen to Eclipse calling
me back. When I reached my planet it was only in time to watch it crack and explode. I screamed, for the first time I was lost. I remember Eclipse holding me back and then flying debri hit me. Eclipse said something and then I blacked out.

I awoke in a ruined palace Sailor Star, Sailor Love, and Sailor Justice
standing next to me. "Sailor Eclipse?"
Star shook her head "She managed to stop the chain reaction by creating a shield. It was effective, but we lost six planets, and Sailor Eclipse."
Sailor Love timidly spoke "Sailor Life was badly hurt too, she ran into demons after finding Death dead, they were too much. But she is glad that there are three new planets existing, it's hope."
I looked over at Life and she smiled at me. "All the Dark Senshi are destroyed Iris, It's over."
I looked directly at Justice "I'm dying too, aren't I?"
Justice nodded "Eclipse took the blunt of the blast, but you still got hit badly, Sailor Life is also near Death."
I nodded "It won't stop, you know that. The Dark Senshi are dead but they will continue to live in other forms."
Justice nodded "The war must still be fought."
Life gave a sigh "With what? Everyone is dead, we are dying."
Love nodded "She has a point."
Justice looked down "There is one way, if we are willing to sacrifice ourselves we can give new life to the nine planets, create the new senshi with our combined power."
Life nodded "The souls of the dead may be reborn on the planets, things will be beautiful again."
We all had agreed for the ultimate sacrifice and with great effort I
stood with life and the others in a circle hands linked and the spirit of Eclipse joining us."Eclipse lead the dead to life."
"Life bring flowers for beauty and song."
"Star shine bright over dark skies."
"Love show beauty of heart and soul."
"Justice show the wrong from right."
"Dawn brings sparkle, happiness and light."
From our hands light exploded and our strength was scattered across the
system. We had made our sacrifice, our legacy would continue to live.

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

I have told you this story from what little strength I have left. When I die my light will spread across this system to find a home in dark places, making them bright. Our people have now been reborn on other planets and they will soon begin to thrive. Eventually one from each planet will discover their powers and soon unite the people of their planet. This, in turn will unite all the planets as one once more.
The crystal has settled to rest on a moon. There it will fall into the hands of the rightful Queen. In a way, Hestia will recieve the bright silver light. I have no doubt darkness will once more try to take over and with hope the same fate shall not befall the new senshi. But we are not the only warriors in the galaxy, perhaps, in time, the galaxy shall unite to destroy the dark forces, that hope will always stand.
My friends are all gone now, their bodies scatter in specs of light to give new life to the dead planets. I tell this story so you will not forget us, so someone will remember what happened here. I hope you will listen to one day understand the choice we made. And if you are happy and alive, then we have succeeded.
