Setsuna and her friends all belong to Takeuchi Naoko. I just asked them very nicely if they wanted to play. They agreed, and quietly snuck out without Takeuchi-sensei's knowledge.


Poisons can heal, too

A/N: This might help in understanding as it is the introduction of my PGSM Pluto:
The ghosts are rising.

Once again the invisible staff was in her hand, but this time Setsuna felt as if she was trying to stop time. She knew that she really wanted time to stop, but she wasn't sure why. As she focused on her desire, the staff slowly became visible. It looked like a long old fashion key, with a large garnet orb in the heart shaped loop. The orb seemed to flash a warning. When she stared deeper into the orb, she felt as if she were being drawn away. Tearing her gaze from it, she saw a large set of double doors behind her. Reaching out to touch them, her hand stilled.

In a stunned, quiet voice she spoke. "A glove?" Her eyes trailed down the glove, and was caught by the outfit she was wearing. It looked like a Sailor Senshi costume, but the skirt was black.

Still sounding shocked, she continued. "Where am I? What happened to me?"

She brushed her fingers over the doors. Thoughts, memories, and knowledge went racing through her mind. She was Sailor Pluto, and she was standing at the Gates of Time. She remembered Queen Selenity telling her she was to stand guard at these doors. And she had guarded them until the end. Then, the golden light had destroyed everything. It had swept over the Moon and the Earth like a poison. Nothing had survived.

"It is happening again. No wonder I want to stop time. Nothing should be destroyed so carelessly."

From her vantage point, just on the edge of the world, she could see the golden light starting to build. Thinking back, she recognized the symptoms. 'The wraiths of the people of the Silver Millenium rose in response to the awaking of the power that had destroyed them. They responded to silent turmoil of the owner of the silver crystal. They knew so well what that crystal could do. They tried so hard to find out and stop what was bothering her, so she would once again be a peace.'

Pluto watched as the golden light seeped once again over the Earth, poisoning and destroying all that it touched. As the light came closer and closer, she carefully held up her staff, and touched it to the Gates of Time. 'I can't watch this for a second time. I just can't.' She stepped through the doors as they swung open. Softly, they closed behind her. Leaning on her staff, she gazed into the time stream. The memories did not do it justice. All the colors that could ever be, and ones she was sure could never be, streamed by. They formed pools, and eddied here and there. In some places they moved faster, others they slid by slowly. Feeling compelled to walk into them, she stepped back towards the door. Queen Selenity's words were still fresh in her memory.

With her back against the Gates of Time, she felt the final fall of the Earth. Dropping her head, she mourned the loss of everyone she had known. When was safe, she walked back to the other side. All that greeted her sight was a large sandy ball. The Earth was golden, not blue. Gripping her staff tightly, she fought back the threatening tears. 'Maybe I should have let myself die with everyone else. Then I wouldn't feel this pain.'Resting her hand against the Gates of Time, she knew she could not have abandoned her post, not when she was able to survive. 'So, now I am to guard a dead planet. But it did come back after the last time. Surely the Earth will revive again.'

Even as she settled in for a long wait, she felt the time stream being altered. Once again, the universe was being twisted to mirror someones heart. As a soft, healing light encompassed the planet, Setsuna realized that the someone was the Moon Princess.

She watched in wonderment as the planet was renewed. 'Well, doctors will be the first to tell you that the strongest poisons can also be the best medicines if used properly. And she seems to have found out how to use it properly.'
