Fushigiko: Inspiration, a pegacorn and prince of Elysium (“A jet-black unicorn with a pearly spike protruding between its soft, chocolate eyes.

Connections to Canon: Helios’ and Chibi Usa’s daughters, Ryouya is the reincarnation of Usagi.
Senshi Moves:
Ryouga: Moon Tiara Diamonds: “The spinning beam of light missed the targetand boomeranged back to the group of senshi. Sailors Jupiter and Uranus had to dive out of the way to avoid its crash landing on the very spot they were practicing. It exploded in sparkles and had to be pulled from the earth.”
Inzenrusui: Quarter Moon Confidant: “The lid snapped open abruptly and it was as if everything was being sucked in. The black energy came straight for it and was pulled into the prison.” […] “this soul has been cleansed now. It will return to the place where everything is born." A small wisp of silver energy came out of the box, heading upwards until it dissappeared in the light of the sun.”
Fushigiko: Gibbous Moon Depression: “at the summons, a blast of blue energy came from the mirror, striking the beast in the chest. It writhed as it was shot through with pure sorrow, and was finally reduced to veritable moon dust.” The phrase itself consists of “Unbidden, arcane words”.
Other Special Abilities: “"Now, in addition to your powers, you girls will have increased strength, stamina, and speed and will adapt more quickly to extreme climates," […] "You will also have a raised tolerance for pain.”
Kinpa: She can play the piano.
Annoying Traits: For some reason, only two generations of the Moon Matriarchy can be alive at any given time. So Neo Queen Serenity died when the girls were born and Chibi Usa will die when they have kids. Due to this arrangement, Chibi Usa will also be reincarnated as one of their daughters.
Comments: If this were canon, you know there would be a slew of bad Inspiration/Fushi AMVs set to Chicago’s “You’re the Inspiration”. *Cringes*
This needs work, but it seems like a good start to something.
Samples:
"Oh, Helios, I'm so nervous!"
"Don't worry otome," intense gold eyes looked into gentle russet ones, "You and our little one will be fine." The white haired man put his hand on the slightly rounded belly of his wife, "The only thing we need to worry about is a name for her."
Usagi smirked, "How can you be so certain it will be a girl? Besides, I already told you, if it is a girl, her name will not be Usagi. Two is bad enough, but three? I can't even begin to imagine!"
Helios put the princess' hand in his, "If it is a girl, Neo-Queen Serenity will die. You know you are destined to give birth to her."
The pink odangoed woman bowed her head, "I know. I just can't accept it yet. Why can't she see her grandchildren? Why can't I see mine? Are we destined to live the same life over and over again?"
"Usa-"
"Don't," the woman's voice was thick with sorrow, "Don't call me that name ever again. I can't bear to hear it."
"Otome," he corrected, "You will never truly lose each other. You are your grandmother, your child will be your mother. Your family will be forever bound by the red thread of fate. While all others are left to drift and reattach themselves at random." He smiled a wry smile, "In your next life you will find someone who is not me as you did in your past life."
She put her hand to his cheek, "How can you say that? You are a completely different person now from who you were in the Silver Millenium. The Helios who lived then died in the take over and you were born, the spirit of my grandfather. Now that you are the crown prince, Elysium has selected another guardian. Your destiny is always with me, no matter your name or position."
The young man felt his forehead where the golden horn had once rested, now removed as he was relieved of his duties. He looked at his wife, young and fresh with the glow of new motherhood and in that moment he knew that he was tied to her forever.
The click of the door alerted the couple to the presence of someone else. The doctor. Doctor Reisui Ami to be more precise. There was a look of sadness on her face and Neo-Princess Serenity's stomach instinctivly clenched in knowledge of what it meant: a girl. Helios squeezed her hand and gave her a reasurring look. She smiled back and this time she noticed another look on Ami's face. What was was it? She looked, surprised?
"Small Lady, Helios," she smiled warmly at the couple, "You will be pleased to know that your babies are all healthy."
"Oh, wonderful! Wait, nani?! Did you say 'babies', as in plural?" the pink haired woman's face almost froze in shock.
The Royal Doctor giggled, "Yes, you're carrying four healthy girls."
-----------------------------------------
Ry waited quietly as her shimmering white hair was pinned up and brushed out. She looked at her sister in the mirror and was jealous of what she saw. Zen was already dressed and looked the picture of calm. The quiet girl looked at her older sister with pride shining in her lavender eyes. The red gown she had chosen for the occasion was embroidered with a trail of pink flowers on a winding vine.
She looked down at her lap. She was wearing the ceremonial dress of the White Moon Kingdom: white, flowy silk formed into a strapless empire-waisted dress. The customary barrets were in pinned just behind the split bangs that constantly annoyed Ryouya and the shell shaped shoulder guards were pinching into her arms. The teen had added her own touch: a delicate pink drop pearl pendant on a gold satin ribbon.
"You are worried; do not be. Everything will be perfect."
Ry turned to her smiling sister, "Zen? How did you know?"
But the secretive girl just winked and put a finger to her lips. She grabbed her sister's hand in her own and pulled the golden-eyed girl to her feet, squeezing Ry's palms reassuringly.
Ryouya smiled and let herself be led out. Her other sisters were waiting, each dressed in her favorite gown as they weren't taking part in the ceremony. Ry bitterly wished she was one of them and thought about the pink velvet hung in shadows in her closet.
Little Kin came up and gave her a hug, "Don't worry Ry, you look very pretty."
She smiled weakly, "Thank you little goldie, you look pretty too."
The silver haired princess twirled in her silky emerald dress, "You think so?"
The nervous girl nodded and the small group made their way into a nearby antechamber that opened off the top of the grand staircase. There, all of the Planetary Court was assembled. The Kings and Queens of their respective planets and their children along with some dignitaries from other systems mingled in the room, chatting with each other and Queen Lady Serenity and King Lord Elios.
The King smiled at his daughters, "In a few minutes, your mother and I will be going down. Follow us one by one in the way we practiced." He winked, "Don't worry, no one will see if you fall, they'll all be too busy drooling over my gorgeous wife."
The Queen shot her husband a severe look and then laughed good naturedly, "Pay no attention to your father girls, he is a rogue and I regret marrying him."
"Do you hear that girls? She wishes you weren't born!" Here, he was dragged out of the room by his wife and the girls dissolved into giggles.
The muffled call of trumpets was heard and they watched their stately parents descend the staircase from the doorway. Loud applause sounded and they looked at each other, all turning visibly blue. The applause was the sign and Ryouya held her breath and started down the steps, after a reassuring shove from Tei.
'I'm going to trip, I'm going to trip...' ran over and over in her head as her heels took the steps one at a time, making no sound on the plush carpet.
But she didn't trip. She floated gracefully down the stairs, right hand gliding along the banister and left hand lifting up her voluminous skirts to reveal her glass slippers. Although she was panicked inside, her face was the very picture of calm, and she reached the bottom of the stairs, pausing for her name to be said.
"May I present Her Royal Highness, Erishiumuno Ryouya, Princess Lady Serenity of Crystal Tokyo!"
The assembled company burst into applause and she dropped an exquisite curtsey. The path to the Great Hall was lined by the visitors waiting for a glimpse of the other royals and she nodded her head as she passed along the lines.
'Someday these will be my people to watch over,' she thought.
The throne room was empty except for her parents and a few attendents; the crowd would funnel in after all the nobles had been presented. She stepped over the threshold and heard 'Princess Erishiumuno Teiinen' announced as she took her place at her mother's right hand. Slowly, all the seats filled and the dazzling company was ready to begin the ceremony.
Almost instantly, the chittering crowd ceased talking as King Lord Elios rose to his feet.
"Friends, thank you for coming on this momentous occasion. On this day, nine new senshi will be named and a new era of peace will begin. Never before has an event of this kind occured since the ancient days of the Silver Millennium. Now, if the Queens would all rise, the Passing will commence!"
The King was seated and the eight queens of the Sol System surmounted the steps of the dais and faced the crowd, each woman held a star shaped crystal in her hand. Next, eight teenage girls rose from their seats and stood before their respective mothers.
Before Queen Ami stood a slight girl with pale blue hair and sapphire eyes. Ami raised her blue crystal high with a triumphant smile.
"I now bestoy this crystal and the Powers of Mercury, Plant of Ice and Knowledge to you, Reisui Eichi. Take it and fulfill you destiny!"
The moment Eichi took the crystal, it began to change. A firce light emanated from her hand and an intense chill filled the room. When she turned to the awe-struck people, they saw that the crystal had become a pen of light blue metal stamped with the symbol of Mercury.
The girl proudly called out, "Mercury Power, Make-up!"
Snow flakes flew from the pen and swirled around her limbs in a fury. The blizzard died down and Eichi became Sailor Mercury. Her skirt and collar were light blue and her bows were sapphire. Light blue boots came up to the middle of her thighs and her gem flashed in her gold tiara.
The ceremony went on until all the planets had been given new warriors; all that remained was to name the new champion of justice. As the Queens took their seats, Queen Lady Serenity rose and addressed the guests.
"I have been your Sailor Moon since my mother the legendary Neo-Queen Serenity achieved her ultimate form of Sailor Cosmos when I was fourteen years old. I, however, am not capable of wielding that power and, as I pass my first brooch over to my daughter, I will only be your queen in body though still your soldier in spirit." The crowd roared its approval and the queen nodded her thanks, gesturing for Ryouya to come stand beside her. "May I present to you Erishiumuno Ryouya, Sailor Moon and the future Sailor Cosmos!"
The people rose to their feet clapping and stayed standing even after silence fell out of respect for the event about to take place.
"Daughter," the queen whispered the first word, "I now bestoy this brooch and the Powers of the Moon, Planet of Purity and Sanctity. Take it and fulfill your destiny!"
Ryouya's hand trembled a little as she reached for the sugary pink and gold brooch. She would have pulled back but for the voice in her head, no, her heart, that urged her forward.
'Stand strong, follow your heart; it will lead you on the right path.'
She grasped the jewel and before her very eyes, it changed to look somewhat how she knew her grandmother's first brooch had looked. The disc was gold and the moon on the bottome edge was silver. A violet diamond surmounted it and four white jewels were at the poles.
Holding it up in her now steady hands, she spoke the words that would change her life, "Moon Prism Power, Make-up!"
The moon appeared inside the room, full and shining behind her, casting all but her crystalline silhoutte in shadow. The brooch laid on her chest and showers of gold and purple diamonds exploded from it. The dust wrapped around her body to form her gold and purple fuku.
All the new senshi returned to the dais to stand around their leader and princess, awaiting the signal to leave. In a whirl of energy, the Asteroid Senshi appeared and, after bowing before the nobles and people, led the young girls out of the hall to begin their first training session.
---------------------------------------
"Hurry up, bungirl!" Rekkano Kanshaku tossed her black hair over her shoulder.
The new Mars senshi's lavender streaks in her knee length hair matched her intense eyes. She was already taller thanher mother at fourteen, but she still retained the famous Martian temper.
"A lady always walks with grace and dignity: she never hurries, Shaku-chan."
Kanshaku gave her friend a look, "Yeah, whatever miss priss. You're my buddy for today and we're already late for training so hurry!"
The other girls were already waiting for them. Even their instructors the unpredictable Asteroid Senshi were ready to go. As the tardy students seated themselves in the bleachers, Sailor Ceres stepped forward at a nod from her teammates.
"Our last training session was a good start but, now, especially in light of recent events, we're going to be tougher on you. Also, I'd like to welcom Fushigiko to her first training session having been awakened just yesterday," she now nodded to Sailor Vesta who continued the instructions.
"You will all pair up facing the targets at the far end of the field. Try to control your attacks; last time they went pretty wild."
Sailors Pallas and Juno went among the girls and paired them together. Ry found herself with Irokeno Mitsukai, the new Sailor Venus and leader of the inner senshi. She had long, silver-blonde hair and mischievous aquamarine eyes. Her hair hung loose to her mid back,but her bangs were pulled backby red clips.
"Hiya Ry-chan!" Mitsukai sqealed as she came over, "We get to be partners!"
Ryouya smiled at the blonde. She seemed overly perky sometimes, but she had a very serious side and was the perfect general. She excelled in the dramatic, being even more talented than her famous idol mother.
"Right!" Sailor Juno barked, "Get to work!"
Transformation calls filled the air and the stadium hummed with energy. Ryouya went first and Mitsu quickly followed.
"Venus Power, Make-up!" the blonde held up her light orange pen and molten gold spouted from it in a gilded fountain, covering her body. The metal cooled around her body, forming a magnificent golden statue, then burst away to reveal Sailor Venus in light orange and sunny yellow. "Do you want to go first?"
Sailor Moon shook her head and the Senshi of Love prepared her attack.
"Venus Lovely Knives!"
A number of sharp, glistening pieces of silver energy flew from her hand and straight at the target. All of them, however, missed.
Venus' mouth hung open, then she laughed self-conciously, "Oh well. Your turn now."
Sailor Moon took a deep breath and removed her tiara. Shouting "Moon Tiara" she spun on her right foot. Then senshi released the shinning disk upon saying "Diamonds!"
The spinning beam of light missed the targetand boomeranged back to the group of senshi. Sailors Jupiter and Uranus had to dive out of the way to avoid its crash landing on the very spot they were practicing. It exploded in sparkles and had to be pulled from the earth.
She looked around, embarrased, but no one else had fared any better. The formally pristine field was charred, broken, and fried. No one was doing any better, except Sailor Gibbous Moon. Her "Moon Depression" hit the target dead on every time, much to the astonishment of Sailor Saturn, her partner, and the Solar Asteroids.
"Wow! What's your secret?" Saturn asked, her heliotrope eyes wide in awe.
"I dunno," Gibbous Moon shrugged, "You just need to concentrate, but at the same time, be relaxed."
"Concentrate, but be relaxed," the petite senshi muttered to herself as she spun with her glaive, fuschia hair spinning around her.
As the afternoon wore on, the girls greatly improved in the aiming of their magical attacks and their trainers decided to call it a day.
Sailor Pallas smiled cheerily at the girls, "You all did very well today; you promise to be capable soldiers."
The group detransformed and headed back to the palace, the dying sunlight lengthening their shadows. Mars and Moon were the last the leave as the bunhead was not happy with her improvement.
"I just can't seem to get it to go where I want it to, Shaku-chan. It's so infuriating!"
"Don't worry about it Ry; it's only our second training session you know."
"Thanks. I guess we should head back. Wow, it got really dark all of a sudden," the white haired teen started out of the stadium and turned back to her friend, squinting into the dark, "Are you coming?"
"Huh?" Shaku started out of a daydream, "Oh...yeah, I'm coming."
"Okay, but don't do that again; you really creep me out sometimes, you know?"
[Snip]
The gates of the palace were in sight when an inhuman cry pierced the night. The two girls froze and looked at each other with terror-filled eyes. Ryouya mouthed to Kanshaku torun,but the priestess shook her head, choppy layers flying. Her feet wouldn't move even if she could be so cruel as to abandon her friend. The sound of something hungry coming quickly their way reached their ears and they catapulted into action.
"Moon Prism Power, Make-up!"
"Mars Power, Make-up!"
A huge fire ball sprouted from Shaku's crimson henshin wand and wrapped itself around her body. The liquid flame carressed her skin, filling her with power and burning away her clothes. The flames quickly died and revealed her crimson and lavender fuku. The two senshi caught sight of the thing as it broke the cover of the forest.
"I think I'll take the first shot," Shaku nodded, "Mars Liquid Fire!"
The fire senshi swept her arms out to the side and a huge sea of flickering flames sped across the gournd and towards the oncoming devil. It was knocked down and over come by the fire, dissapearing beneath their writhing fury.
The girls' victory celebration did not last long, for the beast rose up from the inferno and charged towards them faster than ever. They stood paralyzed with fear, watching the hideous form draw closer and closer. But it stopped about five feet from them and cocked its head to the side, watching the young women intently. The thing blinked its bulbous blue eyes and licked thin, white lips with a black and scaley tongue.
"Tasty ones of the Sun world," it rasped at the senshi showing lethally serated teeth, "Thank you for being my meal. You fight and make yourselves more tasty."
"Moon Tiara Diamonds!"
Sailor Moon had finally unglued her senses and threw her attack, hoping against hope that it wouldn't miss the demon only feet in front of them.
The glowing disc hit the fiend in the mouth and exploded in sparkles, taking the creature with it.
Picking up her tiara, Moon grabbed Sailor Mars' hand and ran with her into the palace. The two friends detransformed and collapsed in relieved sobs on the entryway steps.
Ryouya's tears dried and her voice hardened, sounding dead in the glittering stairwell, "Shaku-chan, that thing wanted to eat us. It didn't want our energy or our pure hearts or our dreams. It wanted our _flesh_!" The teenager shuddered, "This is unlike anything our parents fought. What are we going to do?"
Kanshaku shook her head, "I don't know. Believe in goodness and justice and truth I guess. Wouldn't the old Sailor Moon have said that? Use her strength that lies in you andwe will beat this new evil." The priestess stood, "I will speak to mymother about this. Maybe she will be able to discern something in the fire."
----------------------------------------------
"Hina! Hinata!"
"What is it Seikou?"
Sei pointed down past the castle gates, "Look, it's Zen-chan! I thought she was sick, and what is she doing outside the palace?"
Hina's gray-blue eyes narrowed, "I don't know, but I have a feeling we should get down there; she hasn't been awakened yet." She ran down the stairs at top speed, her golden-blonde braids flying out behind her.
Seikou wasn't far behind, and the shorter girl caught up with her sister quickly, blue-green eyes shinning with concern. Her long, curly hair flowed out behind her as they neared their friend, and a monster broke the cover of the trees.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Zen-chan! Zen, get behind us!" the two outers had pulled out their henshin wands, sky blue and aquamarine metal.
"Uranus Power, Make-up!"
Hinata was enveloped by a column of blue sky and white cotton clouds. A wind sprung up and blew the picture away and she had become Sailor Uranus, clad in sky blue and deep gold.
"Neptune Power, Make-up!"
Her sister's call quickly followed and a whirlpool of dark water sprung up from her feet, churning around the teen. It dissappeared upwards and ended in a few bubbles showing Sailor Neptune in aquamarine and blue-green.
They stood together in front of their pink-haired friend and shouted in the direction of the drukenly approaching fiend, "Guiding a new era we are the Stars of the Outer Solar System." Seikou stepped forward, "The Deep Sea Star, Sailor Neptune acts with elegance." Hinata stepped forward, "The Deep Space Star, Sailor Uranus acts with magnificence. Retreat if you treasure your life!"
The creature was still a fair distance away and it looked up vacantly at the three girls. It seemed to not know where it was, but it quickly gathered it's wits and smiled hungrily at the young senshi.
"You think I would turn back?" it laughed haughtily, "I will never be defeated by the likes of you! You are an easy kill; I won't even have to use my powers."
"Huh! Easy kill this!" Uranus held her hand in the air and the sky seemed to pour into her hand, "Uranus Atmoshpere Shine!"
"Neptune Vortex Spout!" water swirled down the sea senshi's arm, gathering about her hand.
The two attacks were thrown simultaneously, sky blue and aquamarine planets spinning crazily towards the gakidou, and hit it full force. It struggled to it's feet, injured, but still alive and thirsting for their flesh.
The sisters were astounded that their attacks hadn't finished it and were wearily preparing a second volley when a bright light that rivaled the sun exploded from behind them. The devil stopped dead and fell to the ground, cowering in fear and the outer senshi turned back to their friend who stood behind them.
A yellow henshin pen hovered in the air in front of the teen and she looked back at her friends with unsurprised eyes. She grabbed its cool surface with a grin and held it above her head.

Your destiny is always with me, no matter your name or position."
The young man felt his forehead where the golden horn had once rested, now removed as he was relieved of his duties. He looked at his wife, young and fresh with the glow of new motherhood and in that moment he knew that he was tied to her forever.
The click of the door alerted the couple to the presence of someone else. The doctor. Doctor Reisui Ami to be more precise. There was a look of sadness on her face and Neo-Princess Serenity's stomach instinctivly clenched in knowledge of what it meant: a girl. Helios squeezed her hand and gave her a reasurring look. She smiled back and this time she noticed another look on Ami's face. What was was it? She looked, surprised?
"Small Lady, Helios," she smiled warmly at the couple, "You will be pleased to know that your babies are all healthy."
"Oh, wonderful! Wait, nani?! Did you say 'babies', as in plural?" the pink haired woman's face almost froze in shock.
The Royal Doctor giggled, "Yes, you're carrying four healthy girls."
-----------------------------------------
Ry waited quietly as her shimmering white hair was pinned up and brushed out. She looked at her sister in the mirror and was jealous of what she saw. Zen was already dressed and looked the picture of calm. The quiet girl looked at her older sister with pride shining in her lavender eyes. The red gown she had chosen for the occasion was embroidered with a trail of pink flowers on a winding vine.
She looked down at her lap. She was wearing the ceremonial dress of the White Moon Kingdom: white, flowy silk formed into a strapless empire-waisted dress. The customary barrets were in pinned just behind the split bangs that constantly annoyed Ryouya and the shell shaped shoulder guards were pinching into her arms. The teen had added her own touch: a delicate pink drop pearl pendant on a gold satin ribbon.
"You are worried; do not be. Everything will be perfect."
Ry turned to her smiling sister, "Zen? How did you know?"
But the secretive girl just winked and put a finger to her lips. She grabbed her sister's hand in her own and pulled the golden-eyed girl to her feet, squeezing Ry's palms reassuringly.
Ryouya smiled and let herself be led out. Her other sisters were waiting, each dressed in her favorite gown as they weren't taking part in the ceremony. Ry bitterly wished she was one of them and thought about the pink velvet hung in shadows in her closet.
Little Kin came up and gave her a hug, "Don't worry Ry, you look very pretty."
She smiled weakly, "Thank you little goldie, you look pretty too."
The silver haired princess twirled in her silky emerald dress, "You think so?"
The nervous girl nodded and the small group made their way into a nearby antechamber that opened off the top of the grand staircase. There, all of the Planetary Court was assembled. The Kings and Queens of their respective planets and their children along with some dignitaries from other systems mingled in the room, chatting with each other and Queen Lady Serenity and King Lord Elios.
The King smiled at his daughters, "In a few minutes, your mother and I will be going down. Follow us one by one in the way we practiced." He winked, "Don't worry, no one will see if you fall, they'll all be too busy drooling over my gorgeous wife."
The Queen shot her husband a severe look and then laughed good naturedly, "Pay no attention to your father girls, he is a rogue and I regret marrying him."
"Do you hear that girls? She wishes you weren't born!" Here, he was dragged out of the room by his wife and the girls dissolved into giggles.
The muffled call of trumpets was heard and they watched their stately parents descend the staircase from the doorway. Loud applause sounded and they looked at each other, all turning visibly blue. The applause was the sign and Ryouya held her breath and started down the steps, after a reassuring shove from Tei.
'I'm going to trip, I'm going to trip...' ran over and over in her head as her heels took the steps one at a time, making no sound on the plush carpet.
But she didn't trip. She floated gracefully down the stairs, right hand gliding along the banister and left hand lifting up her voluminous skirts to reveal her glass slippers. Although she was panicked inside, her face was the very picture of calm, and she reached the bottom of the stairs, pausing for her name to be said.
"May I present Her Royal Highness, Erishiumuno Ryouya, Princess Lady Serenity of Crystal Tokyo!"
The assembled company burst into applause and she dropped an exquisite curtsey. The path to the Great Hall was lined by the visitors waiting for a glimpse of the other royals and she nodded her head as she passed along the lines.
'Someday these will be my people to watch over,' she thought.
The throne room was empty except for her parents and a few attendents; the crowd would funnel in after all the nobles had been presented. She stepped over the threshold and heard 'Princess Erishiumuno Teiinen' announced as she took her place at her mother's right hand. Slowly, all the seats filled and the dazzling company was ready to begin the ceremony.
Almost instantly, the chittering crowd ceased talking as King Lord Elios rose to his feet.
"Friends, thank you for coming on this momentous occasion. On this day, nine new senshi will be named and a new era of peace will begin. Never before has an event of this kind occured since the ancient days of the Silver Millennium. Now, if the Queens would all rise, the Passing will commence!"
The King was seated and the eight queens of the Sol System surmounted the steps of the dais and faced the crowd, each woman held a star shaped crystal in her hand. Next, eight teenage girls rose from their seats and stood before their respective mothers.
Before Queen Ami stood a slight girl with pale blue hair and sapphire eyes. Ami raised her blue crystal high with a triumphant smile.
"I now bestoy this crystal and the Powers of Mercury, Plant of Ice and Knowledge to you, Reisui Eichi. Take it and fulfill you destiny!"
The moment Eichi took the crystal, it began to change. A firce light emanated from her hand and an intense chill filled the room. When she turned to the awe-struck people, they saw that the crystal had become a pen of light blue metal stamped with the symbol of Mercury.
The girl proudly called out, "Mercury Power, Make-up!"
Snow flakes flew from the pen and swirled around her limbs in a fury. The blizzard died down and Eichi became Sailor Mercury. Her skirt and collar were light blue and her bows were sapphire. Light blue boots came up to the middle of her thighs and her gem flashed in her gold tiara.
The ceremony went on until all the planets had been given new warriors; all that remained was to name the new champion of justice. As the Queens took their seats, Queen Lady Serenity rose and addressed the guests.
"I have been your Sailor Moon since my mother the legendary Neo-Queen Serenity achieved her ultimate form of Sailor Cosmos when I was fourteen years old. I, however, am not capable of wielding that power and, as I pass my first brooch over to my daughter, I will only be your queen in body though still your soldier in spirit." The crowd roared its approval and the queen nodded her thanks, gesturing for Ryouya to come stand beside her. "May I present to you Erishiumuno Ryouya, Sailor Moon and the future Sailor Cosmos!"
The people rose to their feet clapping and stayed standing even after silence fell out of respect for the event about to take place.
"Daughter," the queen whispered the first word, "I now bestoy this brooch and the Powers of the Moon, Planet of Purity and Sanctity. Take it and fulfill your destiny!"
Ryouya's hand trembled a little as she reached for the sugary pink and gold brooch. She would have pulled back but for the voice in her head, no, her heart, that urged her forward.
'Stand strong, follow your heart; it will lead you on the right path.'
She grasped the jewel and before her very eyes, it changed to look somewhat how she knew her grandmother's first brooch had looked. The disc was gold and the moon on the bottome edge was silver. A violet diamond surmounted it and four white jewels were at the poles.
Holding it up in her now steady hands, she spoke the words that would change her life, "Moon Prism Power, Make-up!"
The moon appeared inside the room, full and shining behind her, casting all but her crystalline silhoutte in shadow. The brooch laid on her chest and showers of gold and purple diamonds exploded from it. The dust wrapped around her body to form her gold and purple fuku.
All the new senshi returned to the dais to stand around their leader and princess, awaiting the signal to leave. In a whirl of energy, the Asteroid Senshi appeared and, after bowing before the nobles and people, led the young girls out of the hall to begin their first training session.
---------------------------------------
"Hurry up, bungirl!" Rekkano Kanshaku tossed her black hair over her shoulder.
The new Mars senshi's lavender streaks in her knee length hair matched her intense eyes. She was already taller thanher mother at fourteen, but she still retained the famous Martian temper.
"A lady always walks with grace and dignity: she never hurries, Shaku-chan."
Kanshaku gave her friend a look, "Yeah, whatever miss priss. You're my buddy for today and we're already late for training so hurry!"
The other girls were already waiting for them. Even their instructors the unpredictable Asteroid Senshi were ready to go. As the tardy students seated themselves in the bleachers, Sailor Ceres stepped forward at a nod from her teammates.
"Our last training session was a good start but, now, especially in light of recent events, we're going to be tougher on you. Also, I'd like to welcom Fushigiko to her first training session having been awakened just yesterday," she now nodded to Sailor Vesta who continued the instructions.
"You will all pair up facing the targets at the far end of the field. Try to control your attacks; last time they went pretty wild."
Sailors Pallas and Juno went among the girls and paired them together. Ry found herself with Irokeno Mitsukai, the new Sailor Venus and leader of the inner senshi. She had long, silver-blonde hair and mischievous aquamarine eyes. Her hair hung loose to her mid back,but her bangs were pulled backby red clips.
"Hiya Ry-chan!" Mitsukai sqealed as she came over, "We get to be partners!"
Ryouya smiled at the blonde. She seemed overly perky sometimes, but she had a very serious side and was the perfect general. She excelled in the dramatic, being even more talented than her famous idol mother.
"Right!" Sailor Juno barked, "Get to work!"
Transformation calls filled the air and the stadium hummed with energy. Ryouya went first and Mitsu quickly followed.
"Venus Power, Make-up!" the blonde held up her light orange pen and molten gold spouted from it in a gilded fountain, covering her body. The metal cooled around her body, forming a magnificent golden statue, then burst away to reveal Sailor Venus in light orange and sunny yellow. "Do you want to go first?"
Sailor Moon shook her head and the Senshi of Love prepared her attack.
"Venus Lovely Knives!"
A number of sharp, glistening pieces of silver energy flew from her hand and straight at the target. All of them, however, missed.
Venus' mouth hung open, then she laughed self-conciously, "Oh well. Your turn now."
Sailor Moon took a deep breath and removed her tiara. Shouting "Moon Tiara" she spun on her right foot. Then senshi released the shinning disk upon saying "Diamonds!"
The spinning beam of light missed the targetand boomeranged back to the group of senshi. Sailors Jupiter and Uranus had to dive out of the way to avoid its crash landing on the very spot they were practicing. It exploded in sparkles and had to be pulled from the earth.
She looked around, embarrased, but no one else had fared any better. The formally pristine field was charred, broken, and fried. No one was doing any better, except Sailor Gibbous Moon. Her "Moon Depression" hit the target dead on every time, much to the astonishment of Sailor Saturn, her partner, and the Solar Asteroids.
"Wow! What's your secret?" Saturn asked, her heliotrope eyes wide in awe.
"I dunno," Gibbous Moon shrugged, "You just need to concentrate, but at the same time, be relaxed."
"Concentrate, but be relaxed," the petite senshi muttered to herself as she spun with her glaive, fuschia hair spinning around her.
As the afternoon wore on, the girls greatly improved in the aiming of their magical attacks and their trainers decided to call it a day.
Sailor Pallas smiled cheerily at the girls, "You all did very well today; you promise to be capable soldiers."
The group detransformed and headed back to the palace, the dying sunlight lengthening their shadows. Mars and Moon were the last the leave as the bunhead was not happy with her improvement.
"I just can't seem to get it to go where I want it to, Shaku-chan. It's so infuriating!"
"Don't worry about it Ry; it's only our second training session you know."
"Thanks. I guess we should head back. Wow, it got really dark all of a sudden," the white haired teen started out of the stadium and turned back to her friend, squinting into the dark, "Are you coming?"
"Huh?" Shaku started out of a daydream, "Oh...yeah, I'm coming."
"Okay, but don't do that again; you really creep me out sometimes, you know?"
[Snip]
The gates of the palace were in sight when an inhuman cry pierced the night. The two girls froze and looked at each other with terror-filled eyes. Ryouya mouthed to Kanshaku torun,but the priestess shook her head, choppy layers flying. Her feet wouldn't move even if she could be so cruel as to abandon her friend. The sound of something hungry coming quickly their way reached their ears and they catapulted into action.
"Moon Prism Power, Make-up!"
"Mars Power, Make-up!"
A huge fire ball sprouted from Shaku's crimson henshin wand and wrapped itself around her body. The liquid flame carressed her skin, filling her with power and burning away her clothes. The flames quickly died and revealed her crimson and lavender fuku. The two senshi caught sight of the thing as it broke the cover of the forest.
"I think I'll take the first shot," Shaku nodded, "Mars Liquid Fire!"
The fire senshi swept her arms out to the side and a huge sea of flickering flames sped across the gournd and towards the oncoming devil. It was knocked down and over come by the fire, dissapearing beneath their writhing fury.
The girls' victory celebration did not last long, for the beast rose up from the inferno and charged towards them faster than ever. They stood paralyzed with fear, watching the hideous form draw closer and closer. But it stopped about five feet from them and cocked its head to the side, watching the young women intently. The thing blinked its bulbous blue eyes and licked thin, white lips with a black and scaley tongue.
"Tasty ones of the Sun world," it rasped at the senshi showing lethally serated teeth, "Thank you for being my meal. You fight and make yourselves more tasty."
"Moon Tiara Diamonds!"
Sailor Moon had finally unglued her senses and threw her attack, hoping against hope that it wouldn't miss the demon only feet in front of them.
The glowing disc hit the fiend in the mouth and exploded in sparkles, taking the creature with it.
Picking up her tiara, Moon grabbed Sailor Mars' hand and ran with her into the palace. The two friends detransformed and collapsed in relieved sobs on the entryway steps.
Ryouya's tears dried and her voice hardened, sounding dead in the glittering stairwell, "Shaku-chan, that thing wanted to eat us. It didn't want our energy or our pure hearts or our dreams. It wanted our _flesh_!" The teenager shuddered, "This is unlike anything our parents fought. What are we going to do?"
Kanshaku shook her head, "I don't know. Believe in goodness and justice and truth I guess. Wouldn't the old Sailor Moon have said that? Use her strength that lies in you andwe will beat this new evil." The priestess stood, "I will speak to mymother about this. Maybe she will be able to discern something in the fire."
----------------------------------------------
"Hina! Hinata!"
"What is it Seikou?"
Sei pointed down past the castle gates, "Look, it's Zen-chan! I thought she was sick, and what is she doing outside the palace?"
Hina's gray-blue eyes narrowed, "I don't know, but I have a feeling we should get down there; she hasn't been awakened yet." She ran down the stairs at top speed, her golden-blonde braids flying out behind her.
Seikou wasn't far behind, and the shorter girl caught up with her sister quickly, blue-green eyes shinning with concern. Her long, curly hair flowed out behind her as they neared their friend, and a monster broke the cover of the trees.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Zen-chan! Zen, get behind us!" the two outers had pulled out their henshin wands, sky blue and aquamarine metal.
"Uranus Power, Make-up!"
Hinata was enveloped by a column of blue sky and white cotton clouds. A wind sprung up and blew the picture away and she had become Sailor Uranus, clad in sky blue and deep gold.
"Neptune Power, Make-up!"
Her sister's call quickly followed and a whirlpool of dark water sprung up from her feet, churning around the teen. It dissappeared upwards and ended in a few bubbles showing Sailor Neptune in aquamarine and blue-green.
They stood together in front of their pink-haired friend and shouted in the direction of the drukenly approaching fiend, "Guiding a new era we are the Stars of the Outer Solar System." Seikou stepped forward, "The Deep Sea Star, Sailor Neptune acts with elegance." Hinata stepped forward, "The Deep Space Star, Sailor Uranus acts with magnificence. Retreat if you treasure your life!"
The creature was still a fair distance away and it looked up vacantly at the three girls. It seemed to not know where it was, but it quickly gathered it's wits and smiled hungrily at the young senshi.
"You think I would turn back?" it laughed haughtily, "I will never be defeated by the likes of you! You are an easy kill; I won't even have to use my powers."
"Huh! Easy kill this!" Uranus held her hand in the air and the sky seemed to pour into her hand, "Uranus Atmoshpere Shine!"
"Neptune Vortex Spout!" water swirled down the sea senshi's arm, gathering about her hand.
The two attacks were thrown simultaneously, sky blue and aquamarine planets spinning crazily towards the gakidou, and hit it full force. It struggled to it's feet, injured, but still alive and thirsting for their flesh.
The sisters were astounded that their attacks hadn't finished it and were wearily preparing a second volley when a bright light that rivaled the sun exploded from behind them. The devil stopped dead and fell to the ground, cowering in fear and the outer senshi turned back to their friend who stood behind them.
A yellow henshin pen hovered in the air in front of the teen and she looked back at her friends with unsurprised eyes. She grabbed its cool surface with a grin and held it above her head.
