Writer: Emochan
Summary: “Emochan Tsukino was a normal girl, until she found out that she was Sailor Earth. This is her fantastic story of love and war. R & R!”
Canon: Anime
Rating: 4
Name: Emochan “Emo” Tsukino (Picture by Emochan)
Senshi Title: Sailor Earth
Hair: Brown, long, flows down her back
Eyes: Brown
Unusual Markings/Colorations: None
Senshi Outfit: Picture by Emochan “Suddenly, her clothes melted into blue and green ribbons. The ribbons spun around her body, forming new clothes onto her. Tall blue boots appeared on her feet. A white leotard with a short blue skirt appeared on her body, and long light blue gloves appeared on her arms. Green bows appeared on her chest and on her buttocks, on top of the back of her skirt. A gold tiara melded onto her forehead; a blue jewel inside it. A green neckband formed on her neck and earrings in the shape of the earth appeared in her ears. The crystal floated onto her chest and formed into a broach, in the shape of the earth. Then white angelic wings sprouted from her back.”
Possessions: A gold heart-shaped pendent that she has had since birth (it has pictures of all of the past life couples in it), a writing notebook, a blue communicator, the Mystical Dragon Glaive (“a tall, green handle materialized in her hand. The energy rose up above her head and formed into a large silver blade in the shape of backward '6'.”), a small gold crystal, and a bunch of birthday and Christmas presents that include a orange and white kitten named Angel.
Guardians: Danklezhan, a (deceased) dragon. (“His silver eyes blinked and his green and blue scales shined from the candlelight in her bedroom.”) He doesn’t actively guide her and can only come when she summons him.
Origin: Japanese-American born in the US, moved to Japan when her mom got a new job. Her father died when she was 6.
Silver Millennium: Princess Serendipity, the daughter of Queen Serendipity of the Earth kingdom and Princess Serenity’s cousin. Her anger over the death of her fiancé, Prince Zecon, caused her to release all of her energy, killing herself and defeating all of the forces of Morgana, Beryl’s sister. She had an older brother named Daichi, who was also reincarnated.
Connections to Canon: Usagi’s cousin and transfer student to one of the Juuban schools.
Senshi Moves:
Earth Peace Glaive Slice: Shoots energy out of her glaive.
Earth Healing Heartbeat: Healing move that involves red energy
Earth (Love) Shudder Attack: “She screamed and blasted energy from her hands and wings at the shadows.”
Other Special Abilities: She knows instinctively that Usagi and Co. and Reiko and Sakura are senshi. She can fly in her sailor form and has random visions of the future.
Annoying Traits: Fangirl Japanese. Everybody at school makes fun of her because she’s a half-breed. (Personally, I think it’s her name more than it is her heritage.) Her token true love is Toshira Oren, the most popular and cutest guy in school, otherwise known as the reincarnation of Prince Zecon of Blunagi. He also gains the Dragon Mist knight persona later. She tries to kill herself when she becomes depressed over the fact that all of her guardians are turning evil. She dies after they defeat Morgana, but is resurrected a short time later by the energy from her guardians’ sailor crystals.
Comments: …The author could have at least made it ironic and have her be the perkiest girl in school. Kind of like how Emo Philips is a comedian...
Emochan’s friends, Reiko Suna and Sakura Suna, Toshira, Daichi, his band mates (whose repertoire includes FF10-2 songs), and a waitress at a restaurant that they all go to in one chapter are her court and senshi guardians. (Sailor Estineon, Sailor Astinia, Starlight Knight, Sunlight Knight, Moonlight Knight, Sailor Chouri (the senshi of cooking), and Sailor Gakusai.) They don’t even get outfit descriptions when they transform, so they weren’t included. The canon characters also seem to disappear around the middle of the story and the only one who comes back is Usagi… to congratulate the group after they defeat Morgana.
Samples:
After class, the bell rang and everyone took out their lunches. Emochan left for the bathroom and on her way back to the classroom she noticed a young man walk towards her, his green eyes looking into her brown ones. His dirty-blond hair was wavy and short. The moment their eyes matched felt like forever, but time sped up instantly and the two passed. Emochan shrugged and walked back into the classroom and sat back down at her desk. She took out a black lunch box and began to eat her lunch. [Is the lunch box blacker than the blackest black times infinity? Just wondering...] Some upperclassmen passed the classroom and grinned at her. "She's decent looking, for a half-breed." one said. Emochan rolled her eyes at their poor insults and continued eating her rice. Her long brown hair flowed down her back and reached her baggy black pants. Her purple T-shirt sparkled with silver skulls. Her wrists and neck shined with different pieces of jewelry. One was a golden pendent she had since she was born but she could never open it because it was shut so tightly.
Once she was finished eating, she put her trash in a garbage can and sat back down, and smiled when her two best friends moved their desks over to her. "Hey Emo!" Reiko said.
"What's up, sisters?" Emochan replied as they sat down next to her. Reiko's dyed blond hair was tied up into two braids at her back, and her blue eyes looked at her food.
"Nothing much. Math was so boring today!" Sakura exclaimed, her green eyes showing the boredom. Her pink hair was tied into one braid and it moved as she talked.
"I hear you. Most of our classes are boring." Emochan replied. Emochan noticed their sailor-like school uniforms. "I'm gonna have to wear that?" She asked.
"Yeah. I know it's stupid." Reiko grumbled.
"I kinda like it. I think the style is cute!" Sakura giggled. "Have you gotten yours yet, Emo?"
"No. I'm getting mine after school." Emochan said. She took out a small notebook from her binder and opened it.
"Ahh. You gonna write now?" Reiko said, raising an eyebrow. Emochan laughed and nodded.
"Of course! You know me." Emochan said and started writing.
"What are you writing about now?" Sakura asked.
"Well, it's about a young girl who becomes a vampire. She ends up falling in love with an older human, and she fights her master to see him. It's pretty good, I think." Emochan explained.
"OOOOO...." the sisters said. Emochan smiled and went back to writing while Reiko and Sakura ate their lunches.
The bell rang twenty minutes later and everyone set his or her desks back in place. After class was finished, Emochan walked into the main lobby of the school and sat down in the back and wrote a little. The boy she saw in the halls before passed her again, but this time he stopped and looked at her for a moment. Mesmerized by her beauty and her determination in her writing, he smiled and walked up to her. "Writing a novel?" he asked. Emochan looked up at him. She quickly recognized him and nodded slightly.
"Yeah. A gothic romance novel." She replied and closed the notebook.
"Cool. I'm into that stuff." The boy said. Emochan stood up.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. I love those vampire stories and such." He said. "The name is Toshira, Toshira Oren. I'm a senior here." Toshira said, holding out his hand. Emochan took it.
"I'm Tsukino Emochan."
"It's a pleasure, Emochan." Toshira said. "I think I've heard of you. Are you a new girl here? One of three girls, right?
"Yeah...I'm sure everyone has heard of me..." Emochan trailed off, lowering her eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. I'm a sophomore. It's nice to meet you." Emochan said, and the bell rang for their next classes.
"Well Emochan, I hope to see you again! Bye!" Toshira waved and ran off to class.
"Ja ne..." Emochan said: stunned by what just happened. A senior boy took interest in her! In her of all people! She ran to class before she could think any more about it.

Emochan nodded. She looked at her watch. "I need to get going! Dinner's gonna be soon! I'll see you guys later." Emochan said and sprinted out of the house. That night she constantly thought of Toshira. Even in her sleep, her dreams were filled of shadowed images of the past and present. After school the next day, Usagi and the others dragged Emochan to the local mall. They all went into different stores, trying on dresses. Emochan liked some, but most of them weren't her style. Besides, most of them were really expensive. Then, after a couple hours, they walked into a gothic store. Emochan saw a golden dress with purple on the bottom like flames. The sleeves were like funnels, starting out arms size, and then increased in width. Emochan fell in love with it and bought it. The others found dresses of their own and Emochan returned home, happy with her dress. She picked out a pair of golden high heels and a black necklace with an angel on it. The angel held a red rose and it was smiling. "I can't wait for the Festival!" She exclaimed and watched TV, daydreaming.

"I have only a couple hours before the concert starts. I need to pick up something to wear, and figure out a strategy for later…" she said to herself and she ran off to the clothing shop in town. Inside, she looked at all the articles of clothing, admiring the kinds of fabric and styles available. A glimmer caught her eyes, and when she turned, she noticed a sparkling, v-cut, blue long-sleeve shirt, and a long skirt underneath it. Next to this outfit, hung a long black leather coat. Emochan smiled and picked up the outfit and looked at the price, smiling at the fact that it was reasonable. She took it into a dressing room and changed into the outfit, and strangely felt like someone was watching her. Emochan looked around the room, and when she realized no one was there, she changed back into her regular clothes and bought the outfit.

When Emochan was done, she kissed her mom goodbye and she rushed upstairs to get dressed. She put her hair up in a bun and put on a pair of black sweat pants and a blue T-shirt.
[Snip]
Emochan smiled and followed the girls into the shopping central of Tokyo. They looked at miscellaneous shops and windows, but Emochan wasn't sure what she wanted. They entered one last store, which was a dress shop. Emochan passed by some dresses and looked for one that looked right for her. There were red ones, green ones, ones with sleeves and ones with thin or no shoulder straps. She looked at a corner and saw one which was perfect. It was a black silk gown, but it was casual enough to wear on any normal day. It had a silver dragon veined around the dress, it's head at the top of the dress. Emochan smiled and the girls bought it for her. "It will be perfect for the Plum festival!" Sakura said and Reiko nodded in agreement. Emochan nodded and smiled to herself.

"Emo? Toma's waking up. I called everyone else and they are on their way." Homoto's stuffy voice replied.
"Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can." She hung up and dashed into the shower. Throwing on a pair of blue jeans and a pink shirt with the words I Love Fluffy Bunnies on it (one of Usagi's shirts), she left a note for her still-sleeping mother and left for Homoto's house.
[Snip]
"You killed my kingdom...then you killed any normal life I could have had....and now you kill my only family and friends?! I WILL KILL YOU!!!" Sailor Earth said as she stood up. Her form's glow changed into a gold color and her fuku disappeared into thousands of blue and green ribbons, forming into her blue princess gown. Her wings changed into a deep blue shade and her hair became slightly curled. A small golden tiara appeared on her head and her symbol appeared on her forehead. Her hands rested at her chest and her crystal began to materialize. [And all your bodyguards got were an indication of what colors their royalty clothes are.]
--------------------------------------------------
A couple months passed, and no shadows appeared. It grew colder out, and soon it began to snow. Winter rapidly approached, and everyone started to forget about the shadows. Toma formed a band called Split Time and got gigs at local nightclubs. Luna and Artemis concluded that Morgana was planning something big, and that everyone should be prepared for battle at all times. Daichi and Toma began to hang out with Emochan and the others more and more, and everyone became close friends. Toshira and Emochan became very close and almost inseparable. Emochan tried her hardest to jog Daichi's memory by bringing up rumors about the Silver Millennium and asked about his pendent. It was nearing Christmas, and everyone scattered to get gifts and to decorate trees and houses.
Emochan called everyone up on the first day of their two-week Christmas vacation and invited them over for a Christmas party the next day. It was going to be Christmas Eve, and Emochan couldn't wait! She was so excited because all her friends were going to be there and she had special gifts for them all and wanted to fully relax and wanted to forget all about Morgana and her plans for one night.
The next day, Emochan put on a red dress that her mother had bought her for Christmas and she baked cookies and pies with her mother until everyone began to show up. Usagi and Shingo came along with their parents. Reiko and Sakura and their parents came as well. Daichi and Toma were the next to arrive, and the girls were the last. Emochan wondered where Toshira was, and Usagi told her that he had a surprise for her. Everyone placed their presents under the Christmas tree and gathered around it and sat down. Emochan smiled and handed out her presents to everyone. Reiko and Sakura got matching mittens and boots. Usagi got a bunny doll and Shingo got a video game. Minako got a karaoke set, and Makoto was given a diary. Ami received a pocket computer with games on it, and Rei got a sewing machine. Daichi got a painting of him and Toma, done by Emochan. Toma received a brand new guitar. Emochan grinned as everyone said thanks for the gifts.
"Your turn for gifts, Emo!" Usagi said and handed her a small music box with a dragon on the top. Inside was a piece of jewelry from each senshi. A red crow broach from Rei, a pair of blue bubble earrings from Ami, a ring with a yellow ribbon on it from Minako, and pink rose charm bracelet from Makoto. Reiko and Sakura handed Emochan two teddy bears and a new pair of bunny pajamas. Daichi gave her a portrait of her with everyone, and Toma gave her a CD of his latest band music.
"Oh thanks everybody! All your gifts are wonderful." Emochan said happily. The back doorbell rang and Emochan went to it and opened the door. There stood Toshira in a Santa suit, with a bag behind him.
"HO HO HO! Merry Christmas Emochan! Your boyfriend Toshira sent me here to give you this!" The Santa said and took out a large box from his bag and brought it into the living room. "Open it, my dear." he said and Emochan tore off the wrapping paper and opened the large box. There was a small box inside.
"What is this?" She asked.
"Just keep opening it. You'll see." Santa said. Emochan nodded and opened that box, and another smaller box appeared. Everyone watched in anticipation as Emochan kept opening boxes and smaller ones appeared, until she came across a box the size of a large shoebox. She opened it and gasped as she took out a small orange and white-stripped kitten.
"Oh…how adorable! It's so cute!" she said. There was a little collar on it and she saw a little box attached to it. She took it off and placed the little kitten on the floor. Here was a little note on the box. "Dear Emochan, the kitten's name is Angel, because of what you are to me. You are truly an angel to me. I hope you enjoy what is inside this small box, because it cost me a lot! Love you, Toshira." Emochan read out, and opened the box to see a gorgeous necklace that had red roses and small diamonds between them. There was a pair of matching earrings with small roses on them. "Oh my…." she said in shock. Santa smiled and took off his beard and hat to reveal Toshira. Emochan looked at him and hugged him tightly, crying happily. "Oh thank you Toshira! I love you so much!" Emochan said. Toshira kissed her forehead.
"Hey, where's my present?" He asked her. She laughed and took two turtledoves from her Christmas tree and handed one to Toshira. The turtledoves had their names on it in silver and gold crystal shards and little hearts drawn in on them.
"My present to you isn't as extravagant, but I thought you would like it." she said, and Toshira hugged her.
"I like simple presents. [I love your cop-out gift!] Thank you, my love." He said and everyone said 'awwwww' to embarrass them. Both of them blushed and Emochan picked up her new kitten.
"She is so cute!" Emochan said and the girls all agreed.
"Dinner everyone!" Emochan's mother exclaimed from the kitchen and everyone crowded in the dining room for dinner.
"Mom made her special Curry and rice tonight." Emochan said happily. "We have pies and cookies for dessert too."
"YAY!" Usagi said and grinned. Rei and Ami sweatdropped and Minako shook her head while Makoto patted Usagi on the back.
[Snip]
That afternoon everyone was going to hook up at Toshira's place for a party. Emochan didn't know about it though; she thought her and Toshira were going to go on a date. Emochan got herself dressed up and when she arrived at Toshira's home, she grew suspicious. It was a little too silent and dark to her up at his apartment. She opened the door (thank god for having a key!). It was black inside and she tried to find a light. "SURPRISE!!!" Everyone screamed once light was emitted into the room. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMOCHAN!!!" All her friends were in a brightly decorated room. Gifts were scattered around the room and everyone had smiles on their faces. Emochan looked at them in shock, delighted by their gesture. Toshira appeared behind her and put a party hat on her head.
"There ya go," He said with a grin.
"Toshira..." Emochan chuckled and gave him a quick peck on the lips. The others all smiled and gave Emo their gifts. Emochan received various gifts, like clothing and money. Toshira had gotten her a small box of crystalline roses and Reiko and Sakura got her charms for her bracelet. Toshiro got her a black leather jacket for her to wear when she was on Toshira's motorcycle and other gifts were given. Emochan smiled at them all and gave them hugs in thanks. As her friends began to talk about other things, Emochan's mind wandered into the past. Time seemed to slow around her and out of the corner of her eyes she thought she could see the shadow of someone watching her. "Daichi?" She whispered. Time sped back up and her eyes darted around her in fright.
"Emochan, are you alright?" Toshira said. Emochan looked at him and her face relaxed and she nodded.
"Hai. Sorry." she said. A humming sound could be heard from Toshira's kitchen and Mai and Reiko brought out a large round cake. The frosting was blue with green roses on the top, with a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMOCHAN!" written in the center. Emochan's eyes lit up at the sight and the girl smiled happily. They all began to sing the American happy birthday song to Emochan and she blew out the candles on the cake. Toshira cut the cake and served it to everyone. It was Chocolate! The rest of the party went well and soon everyone left. Toshira closed his door with a huff of relief and looked at Emochan as she sat on his couch.
"That went well." Toshira said as he joined her. She smiled.
-------------------------------------------------
Sailor Earth opened her eyes and saw that she was petting the head of a large dragon! It was poking its head through a large window and she smiled. "That's a good Dankezhan..."she said sweetly and he groaned a little in response. His silver eyes blinked and his green and blue scales shined from the candlelight in her bedroom. She heard a knock at her door and she got up and answered it to see two young women, who looked exactly like Reiko and Sakura, but they were in gowns.
"Princess! There you are." The Reiko look-alike said.
"I'm sorry, Estineon and Astinia. Danklezhan wanted some attention." Serendipity said.
"It's quite alright, Serendipity. Tonight is such an important night." Princess Astinia said. Estineon nodded and took hold of Serendipity's hand.
"The celebration is about to start! We must hurry!" The three then rushed down a long staircase, and Serendipity saw four young men waiting for her. The Queen walked to her and hugged her.
"Good evening, darling. Thank you for finding her, girls." she said to Estineon and Astinia.
"Our pleasure, your majesty." The two said as they bowed. The Queen smiled and led Serendipity to the man who looked like Toshira.
"Zecon has been waiting for you, dear." she said. Zecon smiled and kissed Serendipity's hand.
"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting." she said to him and the others. Estineon and Astinia smiled and walked into the ballroom. Zecon smiled at his love and Queen Serendipity looked at one of the other three men.
"Homoto, you should go to your post outside and watch for any trespassers. When the ceremony begins, you may come inside and watch."
"Yes, Queen." Homoto said and walked outside. The Queen looked at the other two and smiled.
"Daichi, you two better go into the ballroom. We will be in there in a moment." she said Daichi nodded and took hold of the other man's hand.
"Let's go in, Tomaru." He said and flashed him a smile. "Good luck, Sister." He said to Serendipity and walked into the ballroom to join the others. The queen looked at her daughter and Prince Zecon and smiled at them.
"I am proud of you two. I know you two will have a happy future. Let us go in there and announce it and celebrate." she said and the two nodded happily. Queen Serendipity then walked into the ballroom and soft music began to play. Princess Serendipity and Prince Zecon took hands and followed.
"Now arriving, Queen Serendipity! And also, Princess Serendipity and Prince Zecon of Blunagi!" A young man said as they entered and they followed the queen up to a podium.
"Welcome everyone. I am glad that you all could be here today to witness the bonding of two great powers. Like Serenity and Endymion are experiencing this on the Moon tonight; my daughter and Prince Zecon of the planet Blunagi are to be specially bonded in engagement. Their power is strong; their love true. With this bind, they will be able to rule righteously and honestly in their future years. Their children will become heirs to the thrones of these kingdoms, and they will be true leaders…." The queen said. Behind her, Zecon and Serendipity looked at each other. Serendipity looked around at all the people and looked back at Zecon.
"Where is your brother?" She whispered.
"Toshiro is always in the shadows. Knowing him, he is on the roof watching from above." Zecon said back.
"I'm surprised he even considered coming to such an event."
"Deep down he cares about you and your planet. He just has a hard time showing it. I'll tell you this though; I think he has feelings for your protector, Estineon."
"Really?" Serendipity smiled. She looked at her mother and nudged Zecon's elbow, to shush him.
"…and tonight, we will begin a new era of peace, a peace that covers the entire universe. Princess Serendipity and Prince Zecon, take each others hands." The queen requested, and the two followed it. "Now, Prince Zecon of Blunagi, do you take my daughter's hand in marriage, to be with her always?"
"Yes."
"And do you, Princess Serendipity of Earth, take Prince Zecon's request as your husband?"
"Yes, Mother."
"I now pronounce you as engaged. You will be married in a week. Now we celebrate!" The Queen finished, and everyone cheered and clapped. Serendipity and Zecon kissed each other and walked down from the small stage and join the others and began to dance. Soft music began to play and Serendipity smiled.
"This night is so perfect, my love." she said. Zecon smiled warmly and looked down at her.
"Yes it is, Princess. Soon we will be together forever and always."
"Like it was meant to be…"
"I cannot wait, Love." Zecon said and the two danced peacefully. For Serendipity, time started to slow down, and everyone was in slow motion. She saw all the happy faces, and she didn't want the moment to end. Then she noticed a messenger from the Silver Kingdom on the Moon rush to her mother and whispered something in her ear. Her mother's eyes widened in fear and she ran from the ballroom to someplace. Time became normal and before Serendipity could do anything, energy blasted through the roof and windows, causing people to scream and chaos to spread. Zecon grabbed Serendipity and handed her to Daichi and ran off with Homoto and Estineon and Astinia. Serendipity looked at Daichi and they fled outside to see what was happening.
Hundreds of minions ran amuck around the kingdom, destroying everything and killing anyone in their path. Estineon and Astinia transformed into senshi and began fighting them. Everything became silenced for Serendipity, and she saw all the bloodshed and death surrounding her. She looked at Daichi, who was fighting with Prince Tomaru, who struggled free of Daichi's hold and ran to a minion. It slashed energy into Tomaru's body, killing him instantly. Daichi ran to his body and held him, crying. Serendipity then looked in front of her and saw a tall woman with dark red curly hair and piercing green eyes. She had fangs and wore a dark red and black gown which covered her red high heels her hands had long black finger nails at the ends, making them look like claws. The woman smiled at Serendipity and held her hand out.
As energy was shot at her, the princess felt a push and fell back to the ground. She opened her eyes and saw Zecon lying on the ground, bleeding heavily. She ran to the body and held Zecon's body in her arms, crying. He smiled at her and mouthed 'I love you' and handed her a small locket in the shape of a heart. Serendipity took it and kissed him as he died. She looked up at Morgana and her eyes widened in shock as Morgana looked at Prince Toshiro, and he became mesmerized by her eyes. She held out her hand and he took it, and his prince garb changed into a black suit and a black cape. His blue eyes became black and he smiled evilly. Toshiro then raised his hand and blasted energy into Daichi, immediately killing him. Serendipity stood and looked at Morgana angrily. She looked up at the blackened sky and closed her eyes, glowing. She felt strange powers grow inside of her and she opened her arms and her wings spread behind her.
She began to glow a gold color and she opened her eyes. She looked at Morgana and Toshiro, now shocked at what was happening, and she smiled. She held her hands out in front of her and her eyes became golden. "Now you die." Serendipity whispered and golden energy burst out of her body in all directions, killing Morgana, Toshiro, and all the minions. The golden light covered the planet and nature began to re-grow. She looked down at Toshira and smiled, then fell to the ground, dead. All was silent on the planet now. All people were dead, except for the queen. She saw everything that had happened, and she felt a deep sorrow fill her heart. "Sister…" She whispered to Queen Serenity on the moon. "I hear your request, and I shall follow it. Farewell, everyone." she said and took out the golden crystal. "My last bits of energy will send you all into the future, to live a peaceful life." she said and summoned the last of her power to encase everyone into golden bubbles and they were all transported into 1,000 years in the future. With one last gasp of air, The queen wished them happiness, and she dropped the crystal, now dead. The crystal fazed out and was transported into the future as well.
Sailor Earth woke up and found herself in the street as if time had not passed. "What just happened?" Toshira asked.
"You have just relived all your past memories of the attack Morgana waged on the Golden Kingdom." She replied. "I have also healed you from your wounds."
"This is all too weird!" Reiko exclaimed.
"So I'm your brother?" Daichi said, looking at Sailor Earth. She nodded.
"Yeah. One of my missions was to find you and regain your memory. I was also supposed to find the rest of my group of protectors." she said and looked up at the queen. "I had a dream the other night and these two figures said that I have to still find two more senshi. Is that true?"
"Yes it is. You and your cousin both had a court of four senshi protectors." The queen replied. "My time here is growing short. I have something to give you all." she said and small wands appeared in front of Toma, Daichi, Toshira, Homoto, Reiko, and Sakura. Toma's was in the shape of the sun. "Tomaru of the Moon, you have the power of the sun. When you transform, you will become the Sunlight Knight." Toma looked at his broach and nodded. Daichi's was the shape of a star. "Daichi, you have the power of the stars. You will become the Starlight Knight. Your pendent that you couldn't open before, you can open now." she said, and Daichi opened his pendent, to see a picture of Princess Serendipity and himself as children, and a photo of Tomaru and himself.
"Thanks, m…mother." Daichi replied. Homoto's was in the shape of a half moon.
"Homoto, you have the power of the moon knights. When you transform, you will become the Moonlight Knight." Homoto nodded and smiled." Reiko and Sakura, your wands are those of a senshi's. They hold much power, and you two will become…"
"Sailor Estineon." Reiko said, holding her wand tightly. It had a star on it, with her symbol in the middle.
"Sailor Astinia." Sakura said. Her wand had the shape of a flower on it, and it had her symbol in the middle as well.
"Toshira, your power is stored in a sword-shaped broach. Inside holds a shard of your planet's power. When you transform, you will become Dragon Mist." The queen said. Toshira was still in a lot of shock.
"My brother….evil….he…he can't be…" he said. Sailor Earth walked over to him.
"Don't worry, Toshira. We'll get him back." she said. The queen looked at them and a small locket floated into Sailor Earth's hand.
"It's the locket I bought you from the jewelry shop!" Toshira exclaimed. The queen smiled.
"The reason it called out to you was because it was the same locket that you gave her back in the Silver Millennium…"
"I…I remember giving it to you…" Toshira said to Emo.
"Oh Toshira!" She exclaimed.
"I must go now. Farewell, my children." The queen said and faded away. Sailor Earth looked at everyone.
------------------------------------------------------
She closed the front door behind her and saw that her mom was sleeping on the couch. She must've gotten out early... She thought. Emochan picked up a blanket and placed it over her mother and watched her for a moment. If I cannot get over this fear, I will loose her and everyone else. I need to become stronger. I will. Mom will be proud of me. She thought to herself and lightly kissed her mother's forehead before heading upstairs to her bedroom. Emochan turned on her computer and stereo and started on her homework. For convenience, she called out for food and had it delivered so her mom wouldn't need to worry about cooking. Once done with her work, Emochan decided to go online for a while.
It grew dark outside and the stars shined beautifully above everything. Emochan sat on her balcony and smiled at the sky. She saw the moon, and remembered her aunt. The warm breeze made her close her eyes and the image of the Moon Kingdom flashed in her mind. A smile spread on her lips as she watched her aunt and mother walk through one of the many gardens there. "Mom..." Emochan whispered into the air. A tear fell down her cheek and she opened her eyes. "I...I don't think I can do this..." she said. Her head felt heavy and she walked back into her bedroom. Her tired body fell into her bed and she fell asleep, tears drying on her face. The next few days and weeks Emochan became more and more distant around everyone. She began to lose herself inside her worries. She knew everyone was getting worried about her, but she was falling into such a deep depression that after a while she didn't even care. She didn't want to do much of anything. Not train. Not go out to the Crown. Not even go on a date with Toshira. The Plum festival was rapidly approaching and she even lost interest in that as well.
One afternoon, Emochan left the house and walked through Tokyo. The sun set and it became night. She walked back to her house and sat at the base of her balcony stairs behind her house. She took out a small dagger that she had bought earlier and she stared at it's shimmering blade. "I can't take this anymore...."she said and pricked her finger on the tip of the blade. She saw a little bit of blood seep from her finger and she placed her finger on her lips. It was warm, normal, red blood. SERENDIPITY!!! She heard a bellowing voice say. She looked up and saw a faded image of her dragon from the past.
"..Danklezhan?" she said. She heard a groan and saw him nod.
You must not harm yourself, Princess! I am only here in spirit, but I am your guardian. She heard him say.
"Guardian? Where have you been! I've been in pain and trouble and you haven't helped me!"
I am only a spirit now, and I cannot appear unless you summon me, Princess. I cannot let you harm yourself.. His voice boomed in her head. Her eyes narrowed and she threw the dagger through his image.
"Guardian or not, I don't want you here. I don't want any of this anymore. It's too much. I want to end it right now." she said. The image disappeared and she picked up the dagger from it's position in the ground. She cleaned it off and leaned against a pole that supported her balcony above. "Right now..." She whispered, her voice shaking a little. She placed the dagger onto her arm and closed her eyes. With a brisk stroke, she cut her arm. She winced in pain and peeked at her arm. Blood trailed down her arm and dripped into the grass below. She took a deep breath. " I can do this." she said and placed the dagger at her throat. "Good luck, everyone." She whispered and closed her eyes. She felt flashes of Christmas, first becoming Sailor Earth, dancing with Toshira at the Festival, and Meeting Daichi and Toma and everyone else for the first time. She smiled and prepared herself for the final stroke. She took one last breath and then suddenly felt a hand touch hers and slap the dagger away. Her eyes fluttered open and she saw the face of a worried Homoto.
"What are you doing?!" He exclaimed, standing her shocked body up.
"What are you doing here?! Leave me alone, Homoto!" She cried out, shoving him away from her. She held herself, her shirt becoming tainted with blood from her arm. He slapped her face in anger.
"Are you trying to be a coward?! Killing yourself?! You know that won't solve anything!"
"How did you find out anyway?!" Emochan asked.
"I was walking home from the Crown and I saw Danklezhan and he told me what was going on. I can't believe you would do this. What happened??" He asked. Emochan looked down and was silent. Suddenly the blaring of a motorcycle engine approached and Toshira ran to them.
"Emochan?! Are you alright?!" He exclaimed, grabbing her. He saw the blood and gasped. "Oh gods...what happened to you?!" He asked.
"I caught her trying to end her life." Homoto said. "At the nick of time too. She was about to slit her throat."
"Emochan why would you do such a thing?" Toshira asked. Emochan looked up at him, blank of expression. "Emochan?" He cried out, holding her tightly. Emochan felt a warmth at her chest and looked down to see her broach glowing. Suddenly she fell faint and lost consciousness.
A cold breeze woke Emochan up and her eyes fluttered open. She noticed that she was in a ruined version of her long-dead kingdom. "Nani?" she said as she stood up. She looked down and she wa sin her Serendipity garb. A blue light formed before her and it turned into Queen Serendipity. "Mother..." Serendipity whimpered, and ran to her mother's arms. The queen placed a hand on her head and the other around her back. "Do you really doubt yourself so?" The queen asked. Serendipity slowly nodded into the queen's gown. "You musn't. If you do, you will let the planet fall into Morgana's hands."
"I don't think I can do this anymore...it's too much for me to bare." Serendipity said and let go of the queen, stepping back a little.
"You are the princess of our planet. You possess the great power that will save everyone. You must believe in yourself, otherwise what happens here will happen again."
"But Daichi and Toma are--"
"I know they have been taken by Morgana. But you can save them. You must try and believe in your own strength and the strength of your friends. Together you can be great. I know you can defeat Morgana, but you must believe that you can. It is the only way." The queen said. Serendipity thought a moment and sighed.
"I know..."
"It's hard, my child. I know. But you have to have the strength. It will become more and more difficult, but your friends are beside you. They have been since you were a young child here all that time ago. They will die for you if need be. This isn't all on your shoulders. Let them aid you."
"Hai." Serendipity said. "Arigato, Mother."
"Good luck." The queen said and hugged her daughter.
Emochan opened her eyes and realized that she was in her bed. Toshira sat by her and Homoto was on the phone. "Toshira?" She asked. Toshira looked at her.
"What happened? Why were you trying to kill yourself?!" He exclaimed, slightly hysterical. Homoto hung up the phone and walked over to Emochan.
"I just got off the phone with everyone. They are on their way. What happened?"
"I...I was just very upset with myself....I felt like I couldn't handle the pressure of being me." Emochan said with a sigh as she sat up.
"Why didn't you say anything to me, or the others?" Toshira asked.
"Because I didn't want to worry you. I felt like everyone would have been better off if I died..."
"Well you know that isn't true." Homoto said. Emochan nodded as Toshira hugged her tightly. She rubbed his back.
"Don't ever do that again." Toshira demanded, his voice filled with fear.
"I'm alright now."
----------------------------------------------------
"I will not let you and your pathetic friends destroy my empire of darkness!" Morgana bellowed and rose up her hands. A large ball of energy began to form at her chest and everyone stared into it, helpless. "Yes, my prey...stare into the darkness...let it reach into your souls...." she chanted. Sailor Earth felt herself be pulled into the darkness, but felt a sharp pain in her head. A vision of her friends lying dead around her made her come back to her senses and she looked around at her friends.
"Don't listen to her!!" Sailor Earth cried and ran to her friends, trying to shake them out of the spell. Their eyes became diluted and an odd moan emitted from their lips. "NOO!" she screamed and looked at Morgana. "Damn you! What are you doing to them?!"
"You will see." she replied and Sailor Earth glanced back at her friends. They all began to glow and their flesh began to slowly melt away. They started to scream and Sailor Earth's eyes widened. "Hahahaha!"
"No!! STOP THIS!!" Sailor Earth wailed as she fell to her knees. The screaming filled the room and made her head ache. "NO!!!" Then a large wave of energy exploded from Morgana's hands and pulverized them all. Their bodies fell lifeless onto the ground. Sailor Earth felt tears pouring down her dirty cheeks and she saw each of her friends...dead...before her. It could not have been that it?
"Now it is only you and I, Serendipity. Say goodbye..." Morgana said and Sailor Earth started to glow a deep shade of red, making Morgana raise an eyebrow in puzzlement.
"You killed my kingdom...then you killed any normal life I could have had....and now you kill my only family and friends?! I WILL KILL YOU!!!" Sailor Earth said as she stood up. Her form's glow changed into a gold color and her fuku disappeared into thousands of blue and green ribbons, forming into her blue princess gown. Her wings changed into a deep blue shade and her hair became slightly curled. A small golden tiara appeared on her head and her symbol appeared on her forehead. Her hands rested at her chest and her crystal began to materialize. Her eyes were closed and her wings extended behind her. Morgana growled.
"Your crystal will not save you today, Serendipity!" Morgana said, shooting blasts of energy at the princess. Serendipity's wings fluttered back and forth, making the energy hit into the walls around them. The golden crystal was now fully formed and small beams of light shot out of it and into the bodies of her dead comrades. Morgana growled again and shot more powerful balls of energy at her. Serendipity's eyes opened and she smiled.
"Your reign of terror has ended, Morgana." her soft voice stated and the corpses behind her rose from the ground, healing. Within seconds, they were back to life and they all looked around in surprise. Serendipity turned to Daichi and Dragon Mist and gave them a gentle smile. "Let us finish this." she said and they nodded. Dragon Mist closed her eyes as his clothing changed into his prince outfit. The senshi knelt behind the three and Toshiro, Sunlight Knight, and Moonlight Knight knelt behind them. Morgana screamed out in anger and charged a ball of energy. Serendipity pushed the crystal in front of her and Daichi and Prince Zecon placed their hand son her shoulders, closing their eyes.
"DIE YOU PESTS!!! I DISERVE THIS PLANET!!!!" Morgana screamed out and fired the blast at them.
"ASTINIA CRYSTAL POWER!!" Sailor Astinia cried and her clothing changed into her princess gown(similar to Serendipity's) of pinks and blues. Her energy surged from her body and into the crystal.
"ESTINEON CRYSTAL POWER!!" Sailor Estineon's clothing changed into her gown of yellows and oranges. Her energy also surged into the golden crystal/
"GAKUSAI CRYSTAL POWER!!" Gakusai's dress had shades of pink and yellows. Her energy followed suit into the crystal.
"CHOURI CRYSTAL POWER!!" Chouri screamed and her fuku also changed into her princess dress. The colors were reds and greens. Her energy fell into the crystal as well.
"SUNLIGHT POWER!"
"MOONLIGHT POWER!"
"BLUNAGI POWER!" As the rest of the energy shot into the crystal, it's power increased immensely and Serendipity smiled.
"Goodbye, Morgana! EARTH CRYSTAL POWER!!!" Serendipity screamed with all her might and the crystal sent a large waves of energy over Morgana. She tried to block it but it was too powerful. She screamed as her body began to disintegrate from the energy.
"NOOOO!!!" her last word rang through the room and the fortress began to shake. The golden crystal shattered and Serendipity fell into Zecon's arms.
"We have to get out of here!" Daichi cried. The princesses all nodded and held hands. The walls and ceiling began to crumble around them.
"SAILOR TELEPORT!!" they all chanted. Their bodies faded away as the last of the dark fortress crumbled. They landed in the park inside of Tokyo. It was nighttime. Their battle was over...
Serendipity was dead. Her body was in Zecon's arms and everyone looked on in horror as he tried to awaken her.
"Serendipity! Serendipity....please wake up! Don't be dead!! Emochan!!!" he cried into her shoulder. She gave no response. The girls were all crying and Toshiro looked on, a slight frown on his face. Daichi was on his knees in tears and Tomaru had his hands on Daichi's sides, trying to comfort him. Homoto was beside Toshiro.
"It was all in vain..." Dachi whimpered. "We did all this and she dies..."
"Daichi..." Tomaru said, his voice shaking.
"Emochan..." Reiko whispered, holding onto Sakura. Zecon's eyes were filled with tears and he grazed her cheek with one of his hands.
"How could such beauty lay dead in my arms?" he asked himself aloud. They stayed like that for an hour. It was near dawn when they all realized that they needed to figure out an excuse for Emochan's mother. They started to talk when the sun began to rise over the horizon. Heat rose from their chests and their crystals appeared. "What is going on?" Zecon asked.
"I don't know..." Sarah replied as their crystals all twirled around in a circle. Toshiro and the others watched in amazement as they shot down into Serendipity's chest. Her body rose from the ground and changed colors as her gown dispersed into thousands of multi-colored ribbons. Everyone sniffled and watched in awe.
"Welcome to the rebirth of your peace, my children..." The voice of Queen Serendipity whispered in the winds. Serendipity's eyes opened slowly as her bare feet touched the ground lightly.
"Toshira...minna...?" Serendipity murmured softly. Zecon grabbed her and hugged her tightly. The others joined in and were crying happily. "I'm so glad to be back!" Serendipity cried and her form changed back into her normal form. Emochan smiled at everyone and noticed Toshiro a few feet away, smiling. She pushed through the others and walked up to him.
"...welcome back..." Toshiro said softly and Emochan hugged him tightly.
"Thank you for your help." Emochan said and felt his strong arms around her waist. She turned to Zecon and ran to him, kissing him passionately. He turned back into Toshira as everyone cheered. Reiko ran up to Toshiro and kissed him on the lips, and Emochan smiled at them. Toshiro grinned happily and everyone laughed.
"EMOCHAN!!!" Emochan heard Usagi's voice cry out in the distance. Everyone turned and saw Usagi and her friends run up, Artemis and Luna behind them.
"Usagi! We did it!" Emochan cried and everyone began to cheer. It was finally time for peace.
That summer, Emochan took all her friends to America and showed them all the great sites. She showed them her old school and old home, and they visited her brother in college. Time was limitless now that the fighting was over and it felt true peace then, having all her friends in her homeland with her. Upon coming back to Japan, they all went their separate ways but stayed very close with each other.
The fight was over!
Title: Life Lives On: the Sailor Earth Story
Writer: Emochan
Summary: “Emochan Tsukino was a normal girl, until she found out that she was Sailor Earth. This is her fantastic story of love and war. R & R!”
Canon: Anime
Rating: 4
Name: Emochan “Emo” Tsukino (Picture by Emochan)
Senshi Title: Sailor Earth
Hair: Brown, long, flows down her back
Eyes: Brown
Unusual Markings/Colorations: None
Senshi Outfit: Picture by Emochan “Suddenly, her clothes melted into blue and green ribbons. The ribbons spun around her body, forming new clothes onto her. Tall blue boots appeared on her feet. A white leotard with a short blue skirt appeared on her body, and long light blue gloves appeared on her arms. Green bows appeared on her chest and on her buttocks, on top of the back of her skirt. A gold tiara melded onto her forehead; a blue jewel inside it. A green neckband formed on her neck and earrings in the shape of the earth appeared in her ears. The crystal floated onto her chest and formed into a broach, in the shape of the earth. Then white angelic wings sprouted from her back.”
Possessions: A gold heart-shaped pendent that she has had since birth (it has pictures of all of the past life couples in it), a writing notebook, a blue communicator, the Mystical Dragon Glaive (“a tall, green handle materialized in her hand. The energy rose up above her head and formed into a large silver blade in the shape of backward '6'.”), a small gold crystal, and a bunch of birthday and Christmas presents that include a orange and white kitten named Angel.
Guardians: Danklezhan, a (deceased) dragon. (“His silver eyes blinked and his green and blue scales shined from the candlelight in her bedroom.”) He doesn’t actively guide her and can only come when she summons him.
Origin: Japanese-American born in the US, moved to Japan when her mom got a new job. Her father died when she was 6.
Silver Millennium: Princess Serendipity, the daughter of Queen Serendipity of the Earth kingdom and Princess Serenity’s cousin. Her anger over the death of her fiancé, Prince Zecon, caused her to release all of her energy, killing herself and defeating all of the forces of Morgana, Beryl’s sister. She had an older brother named Daichi, who was also reincarnated.
Connections to Canon: Usagi’s cousin and transfer student to one of the Juuban schools.
Senshi Moves:
Earth Peace Glaive Slice: Shoots energy out of her glaive.
Earth Healing Heartbeat: Healing move that involves red energy
Earth (Love) Shudder Attack: “She screamed and blasted energy from her hands and wings at the shadows.”
Other Special Abilities: She knows instinctively that Usagi and Co. and Reiko and Sakura are senshi. She can fly in her sailor form and has random visions of the future.
Annoying Traits: Fangirl Japanese. Everybody at school makes fun of her because she’s a half-breed. (Personally, I think it’s her name more than it is her heritage.) Her token true love is Toshira Oren, the most popular and cutest guy in school, otherwise known as the reincarnation of Prince Zecon of Blunagi. He also gains the Dragon Mist knight persona later. She tries to kill herself when she becomes depressed over the fact that all of her guardians are turning evil. She dies after they defeat Morgana, but is resurrected a short time later by the energy from her guardians’ sailor crystals.
Comments: …The author could have at least made it ironic and have her be the perkiest girl in school. Kind of like how Emo Philips is a comedian...
Emochan’s friends, Reiko Suna and Sakura Suna, Toshira, Daichi, his band mates (whose repertoire includes FF10-2 songs), and a waitress at a restaurant that they all go to in one chapter are her court and senshi guardians. (Sailor Estineon, Sailor Astinia, Starlight Knight, Sunlight Knight, Moonlight Knight, Sailor Chouri (the senshi of cooking), and Sailor Gakusai.) They don’t even get outfit descriptions when they transform, so they weren’t included. The canon characters also seem to disappear around the middle of the story and the only one who comes back is Usagi… to congratulate the group after they defeat Morgana.
Samples:
After class, the bell rang and everyone took out their lunches. Emochan left for the bathroom and on her way back to the classroom she noticed a young man walk towards her, his green eyes looking into her brown ones. His dirty-blond hair was wavy and short. The moment their eyes matched felt like forever, but time sped up instantly and the two passed. Emochan shrugged and walked back into the classroom and sat back down at her desk. She took out a black lunch box and began to eat her lunch. [Is the lunch box blacker than the blackest black times infinity? Just wondering...] Some upperclassmen passed the classroom and grinned at her. "She's decent looking, for a half-breed." one said. Emochan rolled her eyes at their poor insults and continued eating her rice. Her long brown hair flowed down her back and reached her baggy black pants. Her purple T-shirt sparkled with silver skulls. Her wrists and neck shined with different pieces of jewelry. One was a golden pendent she had since she was born but she could never open it because it was shut so tightly.
Once she was finished eating, she put her trash in a garbage can and sat back down, and smiled when her two best friends moved their desks over to her. "Hey Emo!" Reiko said.
"What's up, sisters?" Emochan replied as they sat down next to her. Reiko's dyed blond hair was tied up into two braids at her back, and her blue eyes looked at her food.
"Nothing much. Math was so boring today!" Sakura exclaimed, her green eyes showing the boredom. Her pink hair was tied into one braid and it moved as she talked.
"I hear you. Most of our classes are boring." Emochan replied. Emochan noticed their sailor-like school uniforms. "I'm gonna have to wear that?" She asked.
"Yeah. I know it's stupid." Reiko grumbled.
"I kinda like it. I think the style is cute!" Sakura giggled. "Have you gotten yours yet, Emo?"
"No. I'm getting mine after school." Emochan said. She took out a small notebook from her binder and opened it.
"Ahh. You gonna write now?" Reiko said, raising an eyebrow. Emochan laughed and nodded.
"Of course! You know me." Emochan said and started writing.
"What are you writing about now?" Sakura asked.
"Well, it's about a young girl who becomes a vampire. She ends up falling in love with an older human, and she fights her master to see him. It's pretty good, I think." Emochan explained.
"OOOOO...." the sisters said. Emochan smiled and went back to writing while Reiko and Sakura ate their lunches.
The bell rang twenty minutes later and everyone set his or her desks back in place. After class was finished, Emochan walked into the main lobby of the school and sat down in the back and wrote a little. The boy she saw in the halls before passed her again, but this time he stopped and looked at her for a moment. Mesmerized by her beauty and her determination in her writing, he smiled and walked up to her. "Writing a novel?" he asked. Emochan looked up at him. She quickly recognized him and nodded slightly.
"Yeah. A gothic romance novel." She replied and closed the notebook.
"Cool. I'm into that stuff." The boy said. Emochan stood up.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. I love those vampire stories and such." He said. "The name is Toshira, Toshira Oren. I'm a senior here." Toshira said, holding out his hand. Emochan took it.
"I'm Tsukino Emochan."
"It's a pleasure, Emochan." Toshira said. "I think I've heard of you. Are you a new girl here? One of three girls, right?
"Yeah...I'm sure everyone has heard of me..." Emochan trailed off, lowering her eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. I'm a sophomore. It's nice to meet you." Emochan said, and the bell rang for their next classes.
"Well Emochan, I hope to see you again! Bye!" Toshira waved and ran off to class.
"Ja ne..." Emochan said: stunned by what just happened. A senior boy took interest in her! In her of all people! She ran to class before she could think any more about it.
[Snip]
Emochan nodded. She looked at her watch. "I need to get going! Dinner's gonna be soon! I'll see you guys later." Emochan said and sprinted out of the house. That night she constantly thought of Toshira. Even in her sleep, her dreams were filled of shadowed images of the past and present. After school the next day, Usagi and the others dragged Emochan to the local mall. They all went into different stores, trying on dresses. Emochan liked some, but most of them weren't her style. Besides, most of them were really expensive. Then, after a couple hours, they walked into a gothic store. Emochan saw a golden dress with purple on the bottom like flames. The sleeves were like funnels, starting out arms size, and then increased in width. Emochan fell in love with it and bought it. The others found dresses of their own and Emochan returned home, happy with her dress. She picked out a pair of golden high heels and a black necklace with an angel on it. The angel held a red rose and it was smiling. "I can't wait for the Festival!" She exclaimed and watched TV, daydreaming.
[Snip]
"I have only a couple hours before the concert starts. I need to pick up something to wear, and figure out a strategy for later…" she said to herself and she ran off to the clothing shop in town. Inside, she looked at all the articles of clothing, admiring the kinds of fabric and styles available. A glimmer caught her eyes, and when she turned, she noticed a sparkling, v-cut, blue long-sleeve shirt, and a long skirt underneath it. Next to this outfit, hung a long black leather coat. Emochan smiled and picked up the outfit and looked at the price, smiling at the fact that it was reasonable. She took it into a dressing room and changed into the outfit, and strangely felt like someone was watching her. Emochan looked around the room, and when she realized no one was there, she changed back into her regular clothes and bought the outfit.
[Snip]
When Emochan was done, she kissed her mom goodbye and she rushed upstairs to get dressed. She put her hair up in a bun and put on a pair of black sweat pants and a blue T-shirt.
[Snip]
Emochan smiled and followed the girls into the shopping central of Tokyo. They looked at miscellaneous shops and windows, but Emochan wasn't sure what she wanted. They entered one last store, which was a dress shop. Emochan passed by some dresses and looked for one that looked right for her. There were red ones, green ones, ones with sleeves and ones with thin or no shoulder straps. She looked at a corner and saw one which was perfect. It was a black silk gown, but it was casual enough to wear on any normal day. It had a silver dragon veined around the dress, it's head at the top of the dress. Emochan smiled and the girls bought it for her. "It will be perfect for the Plum festival!" Sakura said and Reiko nodded in agreement. Emochan nodded and smiled to herself.
[Snip]
"Emo? Toma's waking up. I called everyone else and they are on their way." Homoto's stuffy voice replied.
"Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can." She hung up and dashed into the shower. Throwing on a pair of blue jeans and a pink shirt with the words I Love Fluffy Bunnies on it (one of Usagi's shirts), she left a note for her still-sleeping mother and left for Homoto's house.
[Snip]
"You killed my kingdom...then you killed any normal life I could have had....and now you kill my only family and friends?! I WILL KILL YOU!!!" Sailor Earth said as she stood up. Her form's glow changed into a gold color and her fuku disappeared into thousands of blue and green ribbons, forming into her blue princess gown. Her wings changed into a deep blue shade and her hair became slightly curled. A small golden tiara appeared on her head and her symbol appeared on her forehead. Her hands rested at her chest and her crystal began to materialize. [And all your bodyguards got were an indication of what colors their royalty clothes are.]
--------------------------------------------------
A couple months passed, and no shadows appeared. It grew colder out, and soon it began to snow. Winter rapidly approached, and everyone started to forget about the shadows. Toma formed a band called Split Time and got gigs at local nightclubs. Luna and Artemis concluded that Morgana was planning something big, and that everyone should be prepared for battle at all times. Daichi and Toma began to hang out with Emochan and the others more and more, and everyone became close friends. Toshira and Emochan became very close and almost inseparable. Emochan tried her hardest to jog Daichi's memory by bringing up rumors about the Silver Millennium and asked about his pendent. It was nearing Christmas, and everyone scattered to get gifts and to decorate trees and houses.
Emochan called everyone up on the first day of their two-week Christmas vacation and invited them over for a Christmas party the next day. It was going to be Christmas Eve, and Emochan couldn't wait! She was so excited because all her friends were going to be there and she had special gifts for them all and wanted to fully relax and wanted to forget all about Morgana and her plans for one night.
The next day, Emochan put on a red dress that her mother had bought her for Christmas and she baked cookies and pies with her mother until everyone began to show up. Usagi and Shingo came along with their parents. Reiko and Sakura and their parents came as well. Daichi and Toma were the next to arrive, and the girls were the last. Emochan wondered where Toshira was, and Usagi told her that he had a surprise for her. Everyone placed their presents under the Christmas tree and gathered around it and sat down. Emochan smiled and handed out her presents to everyone. Reiko and Sakura got matching mittens and boots. Usagi got a bunny doll and Shingo got a video game. Minako got a karaoke set, and Makoto was given a diary. Ami received a pocket computer with games on it, and Rei got a sewing machine. Daichi got a painting of him and Toma, done by Emochan. Toma received a brand new guitar. Emochan grinned as everyone said thanks for the gifts.
"Your turn for gifts, Emo!" Usagi said and handed her a small music box with a dragon on the top. Inside was a piece of jewelry from each senshi. A red crow broach from Rei, a pair of blue bubble earrings from Ami, a ring with a yellow ribbon on it from Minako, and pink rose charm bracelet from Makoto. Reiko and Sakura handed Emochan two teddy bears and a new pair of bunny pajamas. Daichi gave her a portrait of her with everyone, and Toma gave her a CD of his latest band music.
"Oh thanks everybody! All your gifts are wonderful." Emochan said happily. The back doorbell rang and Emochan went to it and opened the door. There stood Toshira in a Santa suit, with a bag behind him.
"HO HO HO! Merry Christmas Emochan! Your boyfriend Toshira sent me here to give you this!" The Santa said and took out a large box from his bag and brought it into the living room. "Open it, my dear." he said and Emochan tore off the wrapping paper and opened the large box. There was a small box inside.
"What is this?" She asked.
"Just keep opening it. You'll see." Santa said. Emochan nodded and opened that box, and another smaller box appeared. Everyone watched in anticipation as Emochan kept opening boxes and smaller ones appeared, until she came across a box the size of a large shoebox. She opened it and gasped as she took out a small orange and white-stripped kitten.
"Oh…how adorable! It's so cute!" she said. There was a little collar on it and she saw a little box attached to it. She took it off and placed the little kitten on the floor. Here was a little note on the box. "Dear Emochan, the kitten's name is Angel, because of what you are to me. You are truly an angel to me. I hope you enjoy what is inside this small box, because it cost me a lot! Love you, Toshira." Emochan read out, and opened the box to see a gorgeous necklace that had red roses and small diamonds between them. There was a pair of matching earrings with small roses on them. "Oh my…." she said in shock. Santa smiled and took off his beard and hat to reveal Toshira. Emochan looked at him and hugged him tightly, crying happily. "Oh thank you Toshira! I love you so much!" Emochan said. Toshira kissed her forehead.
"Hey, where's my present?" He asked her. She laughed and took two turtledoves from her Christmas tree and handed one to Toshira. The turtledoves had their names on it in silver and gold crystal shards and little hearts drawn in on them.
"My present to you isn't as extravagant, but I thought you would like it." she said, and Toshira hugged her.
"I like simple presents. [I love your cop-out gift!] Thank you, my love." He said and everyone said 'awwwww' to embarrass them. Both of them blushed and Emochan picked up her new kitten.
"She is so cute!" Emochan said and the girls all agreed.
"Dinner everyone!" Emochan's mother exclaimed from the kitchen and everyone crowded in the dining room for dinner.
"Mom made her special Curry and rice tonight." Emochan said happily. "We have pies and cookies for dessert too."
"YAY!" Usagi said and grinned. Rei and Ami sweatdropped and Minako shook her head while Makoto patted Usagi on the back.
[Snip]
That afternoon everyone was going to hook up at Toshira's place for a party. Emochan didn't know about it though; she thought her and Toshira were going to go on a date. Emochan got herself dressed up and when she arrived at Toshira's home, she grew suspicious. It was a little too silent and dark to her up at his apartment. She opened the door (thank god for having a key!). It was black inside and she tried to find a light. "SURPRISE!!!" Everyone screamed once light was emitted into the room. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMOCHAN!!!" All her friends were in a brightly decorated room. Gifts were scattered around the room and everyone had smiles on their faces. Emochan looked at them in shock, delighted by their gesture. Toshira appeared behind her and put a party hat on her head.
"There ya go," He said with a grin.
"Toshira..." Emochan chuckled and gave him a quick peck on the lips. The others all smiled and gave Emo their gifts. Emochan received various gifts, like clothing and money. Toshira had gotten her a small box of crystalline roses and Reiko and Sakura got her charms for her bracelet. Toshiro got her a black leather jacket for her to wear when she was on Toshira's motorcycle and other gifts were given. Emochan smiled at them all and gave them hugs in thanks. As her friends began to talk about other things, Emochan's mind wandered into the past. Time seemed to slow around her and out of the corner of her eyes she thought she could see the shadow of someone watching her. "Daichi?" She whispered. Time sped back up and her eyes darted around her in fright.
"Emochan, are you alright?" Toshira said. Emochan looked at him and her face relaxed and she nodded.
"Hai. Sorry." she said. A humming sound could be heard from Toshira's kitchen and Mai and Reiko brought out a large round cake. The frosting was blue with green roses on the top, with a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMOCHAN!" written in the center. Emochan's eyes lit up at the sight and the girl smiled happily. They all began to sing the American happy birthday song to Emochan and she blew out the candles on the cake. Toshira cut the cake and served it to everyone. It was Chocolate! The rest of the party went well and soon everyone left. Toshira closed his door with a huff of relief and looked at Emochan as she sat on his couch.
"That went well." Toshira said as he joined her. She smiled.

Sailor Earth opened her eyes and saw that she was petting the head of a large dragon! It was poking its head through a large window and she smiled. "That's a good Dankezhan..."she said sweetly and he groaned a little in response. His silver eyes blinked and his green and blue scales shined from the candlelight in her bedroom. She heard a knock at her door and she got up and answered it to see two young women, who looked exactly like Reiko and Sakura, but they were in gowns.
"Princess! There you are." The Reiko look-alike said.
"I'm sorry, Estineon and Astinia. Danklezhan wanted some attention." Serendipity said.
"It's quite alright, Serendipity. Tonight is such an important night." Princess Astinia said. Estineon nodded and took hold of Serendipity's hand.
"The celebration is about to start! We must hurry!" The three then rushed down a long staircase, and Serendipity saw four young men waiting for her. The Queen walked to her and hugged her.
"Good evening, darling. Thank you for finding her, girls." she said to Estineon and Astinia.
"Our pleasure, your majesty." The two said as they bowed. The Queen smiled and led Serendipity to the man who looked like Toshira.
"Zecon has been waiting for you, dear." she said. Zecon smiled and kissed Serendipity's hand.
"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting." she said to him and the others. Estineon and Astinia smiled and walked into the ballroom. Zecon smiled at his love and Queen Serendipity looked at one of the other three men.
"Homoto, you should go to your post outside and watch for any trespassers. When the ceremony begins, you may come inside and watch."
"Yes, Queen." Homoto said and walked outside. The Queen looked at the other two and smiled.
"Daichi, you two better go into the ballroom. We will be in there in a moment." she said Daichi nodded and took hold of the other man's hand.
"Let's go in, Tomaru." He said and flashed him a smile. "Good luck, Sister." He said to Serendipity and walked into the ballroom to join the others. The queen looked at her daughter and Prince Zecon and smiled at them.
"I am proud of you two. I know you two will have a happy future. Let us go in there and announce it and celebrate." she said and the two nodded happily. Queen Serendipity then walked into the ballroom and soft music began to play. Princess Serendipity and Prince Zecon took hands and followed.
"Now arriving, Queen Serendipity! And also, Princess Serendipity and Prince Zecon of Blunagi!" A young man said as they entered and they followed the queen up to a podium.
"Welcome everyone. I am glad that you all could be here today to witness the bonding of two great powers. Like Serenity and Endymion are experiencing this on the Moon tonight; my daughter and Prince Zecon of the planet Blunagi are to be specially bonded in engagement. Their power is strong; their love true. With this bind, they will be able to rule righteously and honestly in their future years. Their children will become heirs to the thrones of these kingdoms, and they will be true leaders…." The queen said. Behind her, Zecon and Serendipity looked at each other. Serendipity looked around at all the people and looked back at Zecon.
"Where is your brother?" She whispered.
"Toshiro is always in the shadows. Knowing him, he is on the roof watching from above." Zecon said back.
"I'm surprised he even considered coming to such an event."
"Deep down he cares about you and your planet. He just has a hard time showing it. I'll tell you this though; I think he has feelings for your protector, Estineon."
"Really?" Serendipity smiled. She looked at her mother and nudged Zecon's elbow, to shush him.
"…and tonight, we will begin a new era of peace, a peace that covers the entire universe. Princess Serendipity and Prince Zecon, take each others hands." The queen requested, and the two followed it. "Now, Prince Zecon of Blunagi, do you take my daughter's hand in marriage, to be with her always?"
"Yes."
"And do you, Princess Serendipity of Earth, take Prince Zecon's request as your husband?"
"Yes, Mother."
"I now pronounce you as engaged. You will be married in a week. Now we celebrate!" The Queen finished, and everyone cheered and clapped. Serendipity and Zecon kissed each other and walked down from the small stage and join the others and began to dance. Soft music began to play and Serendipity smiled.
"This night is so perfect, my love." she said. Zecon smiled warmly and looked down at her.
"Yes it is, Princess. Soon we will be together forever and always."
"Like it was meant to be…"
"I cannot wait, Love." Zecon said and the two danced peacefully. For Serendipity, time started to slow down, and everyone was in slow motion. She saw all the happy faces, and she didn't want the moment to end. Then she noticed a messenger from the Silver Kingdom on the Moon rush to her mother and whispered something in her ear. Her mother's eyes widened in fear and she ran from the ballroom to someplace. Time became normal and before Serendipity could do anything, energy blasted through the roof and windows, causing people to scream and chaos to spread. Zecon grabbed Serendipity and handed her to Daichi and ran off with Homoto and Estineon and Astinia. Serendipity looked at Daichi and they fled outside to see what was happening.
Hundreds of minions ran amuck around the kingdom, destroying everything and killing anyone in their path. Estineon and Astinia transformed into senshi and began fighting them. Everything became silenced for Serendipity, and she saw all the bloodshed and death surrounding her. She looked at Daichi, who was fighting with Prince Tomaru, who struggled free of Daichi's hold and ran to a minion. It slashed energy into Tomaru's body, killing him instantly. Daichi ran to his body and held him, crying. Serendipity then looked in front of her and saw a tall woman with dark red curly hair and piercing green eyes. She had fangs and wore a dark red and black gown which covered her red high heels her hands had long black finger nails at the ends, making them look like claws. The woman smiled at Serendipity and held her hand out.
As energy was shot at her, the princess felt a push and fell back to the ground. She opened her eyes and saw Zecon lying on the ground, bleeding heavily. She ran to the body and held Zecon's body in her arms, crying. He smiled at her and mouthed 'I love you' and handed her a small locket in the shape of a heart. Serendipity took it and kissed him as he died. She looked up at Morgana and her eyes widened in shock as Morgana looked at Prince Toshiro, and he became mesmerized by her eyes. She held out her hand and he took it, and his prince garb changed into a black suit and a black cape. His blue eyes became black and he smiled evilly. Toshiro then raised his hand and blasted energy into Daichi, immediately killing him. Serendipity stood and looked at Morgana angrily. She looked up at the blackened sky and closed her eyes, glowing. She felt strange powers grow inside of her and she opened her arms and her wings spread behind her.
She began to glow a gold color and she opened her eyes. She looked at Morgana and Toshiro, now shocked at what was happening, and she smiled. She held her hands out in front of her and her eyes became golden. "Now you die." Serendipity whispered and golden energy burst out of her body in all directions, killing Morgana, Toshiro, and all the minions. The golden light covered the planet and nature began to re-grow. She looked down at Toshira and smiled, then fell to the ground, dead. All was silent on the planet now. All people were dead, except for the queen. She saw everything that had happened, and she felt a deep sorrow fill her heart. "Sister…" She whispered to Queen Serenity on the moon. "I hear your request, and I shall follow it. Farewell, everyone." she said and took out the golden crystal. "My last bits of energy will send you all into the future, to live a peaceful life." she said and summoned the last of her power to encase everyone into golden bubbles and they were all transported into 1,000 years in the future. With one last gasp of air, The queen wished them happiness, and she dropped the crystal, now dead. The crystal fazed out and was transported into the future as well.
Sailor Earth woke up and found herself in the street as if time had not passed. "What just happened?" Toshira asked.
"You have just relived all your past memories of the attack Morgana waged on the Golden Kingdom." She replied. "I have also healed you from your wounds."
"This is all too weird!" Reiko exclaimed.
"So I'm your brother?" Daichi said, looking at Sailor Earth. She nodded.
"Yeah. One of my missions was to find you and regain your memory. I was also supposed to find the rest of my group of protectors." she said and looked up at the queen. "I had a dream the other night and these two figures said that I have to still find two more senshi. Is that true?"
"Yes it is. You and your cousin both had a court of four senshi protectors." The queen replied. "My time here is growing short. I have something to give you all." she said and small wands appeared in front of Toma, Daichi, Toshira, Homoto, Reiko, and Sakura. Toma's was in the shape of the sun. "Tomaru of the Moon, you have the power of the sun. When you transform, you will become the Sunlight Knight." Toma looked at his broach and nodded. Daichi's was the shape of a star. "Daichi, you have the power of the stars. You will become the Starlight Knight. Your pendent that you couldn't open before, you can open now." she said, and Daichi opened his pendent, to see a picture of Princess Serendipity and himself as children, and a photo of Tomaru and himself.
"Thanks, m…mother." Daichi replied. Homoto's was in the shape of a half moon.
"Homoto, you have the power of the moon knights. When you transform, you will become the Moonlight Knight." Homoto nodded and smiled." Reiko and Sakura, your wands are those of a senshi's. They hold much power, and you two will become…"
"Sailor Estineon." Reiko said, holding her wand tightly. It had a star on it, with her symbol in the middle.
"Sailor Astinia." Sakura said. Her wand had the shape of a flower on it, and it had her symbol in the middle as well.
"Toshira, your power is stored in a sword-shaped broach. Inside holds a shard of your planet's power. When you transform, you will become Dragon Mist." The queen said. Toshira was still in a lot of shock.
"My brother….evil….he…he can't be…" he said. Sailor Earth walked over to him.
"Don't worry, Toshira. We'll get him back." she said. The queen looked at them and a small locket floated into Sailor Earth's hand.
"It's the locket I bought you from the jewelry shop!" Toshira exclaimed. The queen smiled.
"The reason it called out to you was because it was the same locket that you gave her back in the Silver Millennium…"
"I…I remember giving it to you…" Toshira said to Emo.
"Oh Toshira!" She exclaimed.
"I must go now. Farewell, my children." The queen said and faded away. Sailor Earth looked at everyone.
------------------------------------------------------
She closed the front door behind her and saw that her mom was sleeping on the couch. She must've gotten out early... She thought. Emochan picked up a blanket and placed it over her mother and watched her for a moment. If I cannot get over this fear, I will loose her and everyone else. I need to become stronger. I will. Mom will be proud of me. She thought to herself and lightly kissed her mother's forehead before heading upstairs to her bedroom. Emochan turned on her computer and stereo and started on her homework. For convenience, she called out for food and had it delivered so her mom wouldn't need to worry about cooking. Once done with her work, Emochan decided to go online for a while.
It grew dark outside and the stars shined beautifully above everything. Emochan sat on her balcony and smiled at the sky. She saw the moon, and remembered her aunt. The warm breeze made her close her eyes and the image of the Moon Kingdom flashed in her mind. A smile spread on her lips as she watched her aunt and mother walk through one of the many gardens there. "Mom..." Emochan whispered into the air. A tear fell down her cheek and she opened her eyes. "I...I don't think I can do this..." she said. Her head felt heavy and she walked back into her bedroom. Her tired body fell into her bed and she fell asleep, tears drying on her face. The next few days and weeks Emochan became more and more distant around everyone. She began to lose herself inside her worries. She knew everyone was getting worried about her, but she was falling into such a deep depression that after a while she didn't even care. She didn't want to do much of anything. Not train. Not go out to the Crown. Not even go on a date with Toshira. The Plum festival was rapidly approaching and she even lost interest in that as well.
One afternoon, Emochan left the house and walked through Tokyo. The sun set and it became night. She walked back to her house and sat at the base of her balcony stairs behind her house. She took out a small dagger that she had bought earlier and she stared at it's shimmering blade. "I can't take this anymore...."she said and pricked her finger on the tip of the blade. She saw a little bit of blood seep from her finger and she placed her finger on her lips. It was warm, normal, red blood. SERENDIPITY!!! She heard a bellowing voice say. She looked up and saw a faded image of her dragon from the past.
"..Danklezhan?" she said. She heard a groan and saw him nod.
You must not harm yourself, Princess! I am only here in spirit, but I am your guardian. She heard him say.
"Guardian? Where have you been! I've been in pain and trouble and you haven't helped me!"
I am only a spirit now, and I cannot appear unless you summon me, Princess. I cannot let you harm yourself.. His voice boomed in her head. Her eyes narrowed and she threw the dagger through his image.
"Guardian or not, I don't want you here. I don't want any of this anymore. It's too much. I want to end it right now." she said. The image disappeared and she picked up the dagger from it's position in the ground. She cleaned it off and leaned against a pole that supported her balcony above. "Right now..." She whispered, her voice shaking a little. She placed the dagger onto her arm and closed her eyes. With a brisk stroke, she cut her arm. She winced in pain and peeked at her arm. Blood trailed down her arm and dripped into the grass below. She took a deep breath. " I can do this." she said and placed the dagger at her throat. "Good luck, everyone." She whispered and closed her eyes. She felt flashes of Christmas, first becoming Sailor Earth, dancing with Toshira at the Festival, and Meeting Daichi and Toma and everyone else for the first time. She smiled and prepared herself for the final stroke. She took one last breath and then suddenly felt a hand touch hers and slap the dagger away. Her eyes fluttered open and she saw the face of a worried Homoto.
"What are you doing?!" He exclaimed, standing her shocked body up.
"What are you doing here?! Leave me alone, Homoto!" She cried out, shoving him away from her. She held herself, her shirt becoming tainted with blood from her arm. He slapped her face in anger.
"Are you trying to be a coward?! Killing yourself?! You know that won't solve anything!"
"How did you find out anyway?!" Emochan asked.
"I was walking home from the Crown and I saw Danklezhan and he told me what was going on. I can't believe you would do this. What happened??" He asked. Emochan looked down and was silent. Suddenly the blaring of a motorcycle engine approached and Toshira ran to them.
"Emochan?! Are you alright?!" He exclaimed, grabbing her. He saw the blood and gasped. "Oh gods...what happened to you?!" He asked.
"I caught her trying to end her life." Homoto said. "At the nick of time too. She was about to slit her throat."
"Emochan why would you do such a thing?" Toshira asked. Emochan looked up at him, blank of expression. "Emochan?" He cried out, holding her tightly. Emochan felt a warmth at her chest and looked down to see her broach glowing. Suddenly she fell faint and lost consciousness.
A cold breeze woke Emochan up and her eyes fluttered open. She noticed that she was in a ruined version of her long-dead kingdom. "Nani?" she said as she stood up. She looked down and she wa sin her Serendipity garb. A blue light formed before her and it turned into Queen Serendipity. "Mother..." Serendipity whimpered, and ran to her mother's arms. The queen placed a hand on her head and the other around her back. "Do you really doubt yourself so?" The queen asked. Serendipity slowly nodded into the queen's gown. "You musn't. If you do, you will let the planet fall into Morgana's hands."
"I don't think I can do this anymore...it's too much for me to bare." Serendipity said and let go of the queen, stepping back a little.
"You are the princess of our planet. You possess the great power that will save everyone. You must believe in yourself, otherwise what happens here will happen again."
"But Daichi and Toma are--"
"I know they have been taken by Morgana. But you can save them. You must try and believe in your own strength and the strength of your friends. Together you can be great. I know you can defeat Morgana, but you must believe that you can. It is the only way." The queen said. Serendipity thought a moment and sighed.
"I know..."
"It's hard, my child. I know. But you have to have the strength. It will become more and more difficult, but your friends are beside you. They have been since you were a young child here all that time ago. They will die for you if need be. This isn't all on your shoulders. Let them aid you."
"Hai." Serendipity said. "Arigato, Mother."
"Good luck." The queen said and hugged her daughter.
Emochan opened her eyes and realized that she was in her bed. Toshira sat by her and Homoto was on the phone. "Toshira?" She asked. Toshira looked at her.
"What happened? Why were you trying to kill yourself?!" He exclaimed, slightly hysterical. Homoto hung up the phone and walked over to Emochan.
"I just got off the phone with everyone. They are on their way. What happened?"
"I...I was just very upset with myself....I felt like I couldn't handle the pressure of being me." Emochan said with a sigh as she sat up.
"Why didn't you say anything to me, or the others?" Toshira asked.
"Because I didn't want to worry you. I felt like everyone would have been better off if I died..."
"Well you know that isn't true." Homoto said. Emochan nodded as Toshira hugged her tightly. She rubbed his back.
"Don't ever do that again." Toshira demanded, his voice filled with fear.
"I'm alright now."
----------------------------------------------------
"I will not let you and your pathetic friends destroy my empire of darkness!" Morgana bellowed and rose up her hands. A large ball of energy began to form at her chest and everyone stared into it, helpless. "Yes, my prey...stare into the darkness...let it reach into your souls...." she chanted. Sailor Earth felt herself be pulled into the darkness, but felt a sharp pain in her head. A vision of her friends lying dead around her made her come back to her senses and she looked around at her friends.
"Don't listen to her!!" Sailor Earth cried and ran to her friends, trying to shake them out of the spell. Their eyes became diluted and an odd moan emitted from their lips. "NOO!" she screamed and looked at Morgana. "Damn you! What are you doing to them?!"
"You will see." she replied and Sailor Earth glanced back at her friends. They all began to glow and their flesh began to slowly melt away. They started to scream and Sailor Earth's eyes widened. "Hahahaha!"
"No!! STOP THIS!!" Sailor Earth wailed as she fell to her knees. The screaming filled the room and made her head ache. "NO!!!" Then a large wave of energy exploded from Morgana's hands and pulverized them all. Their bodies fell lifeless onto the ground. Sailor Earth felt tears pouring down her dirty cheeks and she saw each of her friends...dead...before her. It could not have been that it?
"Now it is only you and I, Serendipity. Say goodbye..." Morgana said and Sailor Earth started to glow a deep shade of red, making Morgana raise an eyebrow in puzzlement.
"You killed my kingdom...then you killed any normal life I could have had....and now you kill my only family and friends?! I WILL KILL YOU!!!" Sailor Earth said as she stood up. Her form's glow changed into a gold color and her fuku disappeared into thousands of blue and green ribbons, forming into her blue princess gown. Her wings changed into a deep blue shade and her hair became slightly curled. A small golden tiara appeared on her head and her symbol appeared on her forehead. Her hands rested at her chest and her crystal began to materialize. Her eyes were closed and her wings extended behind her. Morgana growled.
"Your crystal will not save you today, Serendipity!" Morgana said, shooting blasts of energy at the princess. Serendipity's wings fluttered back and forth, making the energy hit into the walls around them. The golden crystal was now fully formed and small beams of light shot out of it and into the bodies of her dead comrades. Morgana growled again and shot more powerful balls of energy at her. Serendipity's eyes opened and she smiled.
"Your reign of terror has ended, Morgana." her soft voice stated and the corpses behind her rose from the ground, healing. Within seconds, they were back to life and they all looked around in surprise. Serendipity turned to Daichi and Dragon Mist and gave them a gentle smile. "Let us finish this." she said and they nodded. Dragon Mist closed her eyes as his clothing changed into his prince outfit. The senshi knelt behind the three and Toshiro, Sunlight Knight, and Moonlight Knight knelt behind them. Morgana screamed out in anger and charged a ball of energy. Serendipity pushed the crystal in front of her and Daichi and Prince Zecon placed their hand son her shoulders, closing their eyes.
"DIE YOU PESTS!!! I DISERVE THIS PLANET!!!!" Morgana screamed out and fired the blast at them.
"ASTINIA CRYSTAL POWER!!" Sailor Astinia cried and her clothing changed into her princess gown(similar to Serendipity's) of pinks and blues. Her energy surged from her body and into the crystal.
"ESTINEON CRYSTAL POWER!!" Sailor Estineon's clothing changed into her gown of yellows and oranges. Her energy also surged into the golden crystal/
"GAKUSAI CRYSTAL POWER!!" Gakusai's dress had shades of pink and yellows. Her energy followed suit into the crystal.
"CHOURI CRYSTAL POWER!!" Chouri screamed and her fuku also changed into her princess dress. The colors were reds and greens. Her energy fell into the crystal as well.
"SUNLIGHT POWER!"
"MOONLIGHT POWER!"
"BLUNAGI POWER!" As the rest of the energy shot into the crystal, it's power increased immensely and Serendipity smiled.
"Goodbye, Morgana! EARTH CRYSTAL POWER!!!" Serendipity screamed with all her might and the crystal sent a large waves of energy over Morgana. She tried to block it but it was too powerful. She screamed as her body began to disintegrate from the energy.
"NOOOO!!!" her last word rang through the room and the fortress began to shake. The golden crystal shattered and Serendipity fell into Zecon's arms.
"We have to get out of here!" Daichi cried. The princesses all nodded and held hands. The walls and ceiling began to crumble around them.
"SAILOR TELEPORT!!" they all chanted. Their bodies faded away as the last of the dark fortress crumbled. They landed in the park inside of Tokyo. It was nighttime. Their battle was over...
Serendipity was dead. Her body was in Zecon's arms and everyone looked on in horror as he tried to awaken her.
"Serendipity! Serendipity....please wake up! Don't be dead!! Emochan!!!" he cried into her shoulder. She gave no response. The girls were all crying and Toshiro looked on, a slight frown on his face. Daichi was on his knees in tears and Tomaru had his hands on Daichi's sides, trying to comfort him. Homoto was beside Toshiro.
"It was all in vain..." Dachi whimpered. "We did all this and she dies..."
"Daichi..." Tomaru said, his voice shaking.
"Emochan..." Reiko whispered, holding onto Sakura. Zecon's eyes were filled with tears and he grazed her cheek with one of his hands.
"How could such beauty lay dead in my arms?" he asked himself aloud. They stayed like that for an hour. It was near dawn when they all realized that they needed to figure out an excuse for Emochan's mother. They started to talk when the sun began to rise over the horizon. Heat rose from their chests and their crystals appeared. "What is going on?" Zecon asked.
"I don't know..." Sarah replied as their crystals all twirled around in a circle. Toshiro and the others watched in amazement as they shot down into Serendipity's chest. Her body rose from the ground and changed colors as her gown dispersed into thousands of multi-colored ribbons. Everyone sniffled and watched in awe.
"Welcome to the rebirth of your peace, my children..." The voice of Queen Serendipity whispered in the winds. Serendipity's eyes opened slowly as her bare feet touched the ground lightly.
"Toshira...minna...?" Serendipity murmured softly. Zecon grabbed her and hugged her tightly. The others joined in and were crying happily. "I'm so glad to be back!" Serendipity cried and her form changed back into her normal form. Emochan smiled at everyone and noticed Toshiro a few feet away, smiling. She pushed through the others and walked up to him.
"...welcome back..." Toshiro said softly and Emochan hugged him tightly.
"Thank you for your help." Emochan said and felt his strong arms around her waist. She turned to Zecon and ran to him, kissing him passionately. He turned back into Toshira as everyone cheered. Reiko ran up to Toshiro and kissed him on the lips, and Emochan smiled at them. Toshiro grinned happily and everyone laughed.
"EMOCHAN!!!" Emochan heard Usagi's voice cry out in the distance. Everyone turned and saw Usagi and her friends run up, Artemis and Luna behind them.
"Usagi! We did it!" Emochan cried and everyone began to cheer. It was finally time for peace.
That summer, Emochan took all her friends to America and showed them all the great sites. She showed them her old school and old home, and they visited her brother in college. Time was limitless now that the fighting was over and it felt true peace then, having all her friends in her homeland with her. Upon coming back to Japan, they all went their separate ways but stayed very close with each other.
The fight was over!
