         Part 1:	Birth in the Death of a Loved One
                     Chapter 1: Battle to the Death

The Dark Side of the Moon
	Sailor Moon staggered up to the Dark Moon generals.  She
glanced at the dead body of Sailor Chibi Moon.  She knew what she had
to do.  She held up her Eternal Tier and called out Starlight Honeymoon
Therapy Kiss.  A blast of power generated over the battlefield as she
fell to the ground dead.  The Sailor Scouts crowded around her as the
generals laughed.  Sailor Mercury stood up and brushed away a tear.  
She struck a battle pose and stopped to stare at her victim.
	"Mercury Aqua Mirage!"
	The general fell to the ground bleeding.  He screamed out a
curse and vomited up blood before he died.  Sailor Mercury looked at
the dead body and stared to throw another attack at the rebel forces.
	"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"
	Another general fell to the ground dead.  Sailor Mercury got
ready to throw another attack, but General Kunzite II took out his
cannon blaster and hit Sailor Mercury.  She fell down in a puddle of
neon green light.  She lay still as she took her final breath.  Sailor
Mars ran to Mercury's side and picked up the dead girl and carried her
over to Sailor Moon's body.  She motioned for the other Senshi to watch
them.
	"Mars Flame Sniper!"
	Sailor Mars aimed the attack to Kunzite II and blasted him to
the edge of the cannon that took Mercury's life.  His spine shattered
as he hit the metal opening.  However, his colleague, Zoycite II, told
the forces to attack head on.
	Sailor Mars dodged the first few rounds of attacks, but the
fire came faster and she was hit.  The other Senshi hid the bodies and
ran to help Sailor Mars.  Sailor Jupiter threw a Sparkling Wide Pressure
at the forces, knocking many unconscious.  Sailor Uranus hit a few
World Shaking at the forces to put them down.  General Jedite II told
the Dark Moon to move full speed. Sailor Mars threw out a Fire Soul,
but it was no use.  She was hit by a Cesium G-1 blast.  She blasted
back hitting Sailor Venus, who hid her body along with Sailor Moon,
Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Chibi Moon.  Sailor Venus threw out a Venus
Love and Beauty Shock as Sailor Neptune hit a group with her Deep
Submerge.  Uranus moved swiftly and took out her Space Sword to attack
Zoycite II.  The Space Sword Blaster hit his arm, but a second general
took out a Radium Blaster Pistol and firing it at Sailor Uranus.  She
was blasted backwards and lay on the ground barely moving.  Neptune
ran over to Uranus and cried over her body.  Zoycite II lifted up his
own Neon Nyanko Gun with his good arm and fired it into the heart of
Sailor Neptune.  She screamed and fell on top of Sailor Uranus's now
dead body.  Sailor Pluto grabbed her staff and did her Dead Scream
attack, which killed Zoycite II and the second general, who killed
Uranus.
	Sailor Saturn ran up and sliced other members of the Calvary
and infantry with her Glaive.  When she cleared away a good-sized space
she did a Silent Glaive Surprise.  She killed a good number of Dark
Moon soldiers.  Sailor Pluto, Sailor Venus, and Sailors Star Healer,
Maker, and Fighter ran up to Sailor Saturn.  Saturn turned to them and
told them to protect themselves, she would do her Death Ribbon
Revolution.
	As the girls ran for cover, by the dead bodies of Sailor Moon
and the other Senshi, Star Healer did her Star Sensitive Inferno, to
keep the troops off their backs.  When they dove into the dune like
area, Sailor Saturn started her attack.  Jedite II and Nephrite II
knew what was coming, so they quickly teleported away.  Saturn did her
attack for all the Sailor Scouts that died,
especially for Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon, who died.
	"Death Ribbon REVOLUTION!"
	A large blast shone around the battlefield as Sailor Saturn
was blasted back to where the others took cover.  She had died from
the attack.  Sailor Jupiter leaped into to dune area to see Saturn
dead.  She got very mad and ran out into the battlefield to find only
a few people alive.  Sailor Jupiter looked up from the area she took
cover in, a small dune on the opposite side of the other Senshi.
Sailor Jupiter realized that Saturn had literally killed herself with
the Death Ribbon Revolution.  She saw two figures along the horizon.
It was Jedite II and Nephrite II, looking for someone.  She ran up to
them to do attack.
	"Jupiter Oak Evolution!"
	Sailor Jupiter unleashed her attack, which just bounced away
from the two surviving Generals of the Dark Moon.  They walked up to
her and held her down from attacking with vines.  They started to talk
to her.  They shot her with a stun gun and transported her to their
base.
	The other Senshi looked on crying at the loss of another
fighter.

                Chapter 2: A Proposal to a Senshi
	Sailor Jupiter woke up to see that she had transformed into
her normal clothing and she was laying on a bed.  She looked around,
but couldn't recognize where she was.  A woman walked into her room
and told her to get dressed in the outfit in her closet.  She said she
would come for her in 5 minutes and left.
	Makoto opened up the closet in the far side of the room.  It
was a big room, with flowers and lots of silver furniture.  She saw a
gray dress with gold trim hanging in the closet and put it on.  She
looked around and found a dresser, where there were pairs of socks,
underwear, and bras.  She changed and put on the long dress quickly.
It was a nice dress with a slit up the side.  She placed the shoes in
the closet on her feet and went to the door.  The woman reentered her 
room and led her outside down a long corridor.  She was led into a dark
room, where only a small light was seen after she entered it.
	"Welcome my dear, Sailor Jupiter.  I am the General Nephrite
II, and this is General Jedite II.  We want you to join our forces
against the Sailor Senshi.  Will you join us?  If you don't you will
die, but if you do we shall strip you of all your Senshi powers and
abilities and give you better more powerful attacks and weapons.
What do you say dear pet?"
	Jupiter looked at the Generals before her.  She looked at them
hard.  She shook her head, saying no.  She couldn't betray her friends.
The Generals yelled angrily.  They ordered Naku-chan, the woman from
before, to take her away and give her to her friends.  Sailor Jupiter
looked shocked.  She wasn't going to be killed?  She turned around and
saw the Generals get up to leave.  She screamed out Jupiter Crystal
Power Make-Up and let out her Jupiter Oak Evolution, hitting Nephrite.
She was transported back to the battlefield to see the Senshi staring
at her in surprise.
	She started to run towards the Senshi when she heard a long
blast.  She fell forward, a blast send by Jedite II had hit her.  He
walked forward towards the body of Sailor Jupiter.  Sailors Star
Fighter and Star Maker ran to grab the body of Jupiter, but they too
were killed by the evil General.  Jedite walked passed the bodies of
the fallen Senshi.  He looked down on Sailor Pluto, Sailor Venus, and
Sailor Star Healer.  He quickly shot Star Healer, and aimed the gun at
Pluto.  He scrutinized the two remaining Senshi.  He put down the gun,
and began to make a proposal.
	"Sailor Venus, Sailor Pluto, I have come here to kill you, but
for now I shall make a proposal.  You come with me and become one with
the Dark Moon, or I will kill you as I did with the others and as
Sailor Jupiter did with the other General Nephrite.  I have no
compassion for you two, but as the remaining friends of my ancestor's
lover, I wanted to give you a chance to rid your souls of goodness and
join me.  What do you say Senshi of nothing!"
	Sailor Pluto shook her head saying no and she was shot.
Sailor Venus cried out at the gunshot.  Jedite looked at Venus and
asked her if she would join.  She nodded yes.  Jedite let out a cheer
and bent down to pick up Venus.
	"Venus, you will be my Queen when I take over the Universe.
All shall bow to your beauty.  Venus, my love, give me a kiss."
	Venus nodded as Jedite brought his head down to kiss her.  She
hated to do it, but choice did she have.  Jedite started to kiss her
passionate kiss as Venus wrapped her arm around his head, trying to
fluff his hair.  He brought his head back and he looked into Sailor
Venus's face.  Venus opened her mouth to speak.
	"Good-bye, Jedite.  Crescent Beam!"
	The beam blasted through Jedite's head, killing him instantly.
The entire base in the sky blew up, for the army had been defeated.
Sailor Venus limped away from the body of Jedite and moved the rest of
the Senshi's bodies with the rest.

                Chapter 3: Sailor Venus's Strange Dream
Dark Side of the Moon
	Sailor Venus pulled the bodies together in a tight circle as
she waited for Luna and Artemis to send a transport beam to get her
back to Earth along with the other Senshi.  The beam came and surrounded
the group of Senshi.
Serenity's Palace in Crystal Tokyo
	"Luna, I failed them.  They died and I'm still alive.  That
isn't fair, you know.  Sailor Chibi Moon died from a blast to the head.
Sailor Moon died of a wound and using a powerful attack.  Sailor
Mercury and Sailor Mars were killed by blasts to the body.  Sailor
Uranus and Sailor Neptune were killed by gunshots to the heart.
Sailor Saturn was killed by her own attack.  Sailors Jupiter, Pluto,
and the Sailor Starlights were all shot by Jedite.  I, on the other
hand, cheated death!  I should have died with them."
	Luna looked at Minako, who was crying.  Artemis, who seemed
awkward about the situation, walked over to the bodies of the dead
Senshi.  He noticed that the brooches of all the girls were glowing.
He called Luna over.  Luna looked just as puzzled over the brooches as
Artemis was.  Minako glanced over at the cats.  She saw the brooches
glowing.  She walked over carefully and pushed the cats aside.  She
pulled the brooches off each body, and dead Senshi were instantly
transformed into their princess forms which they were never able to
become.  She stalked down the hallway and entered her room.  She
placed the glowing brooches in a deep colored redwood chest with a
golden lock that had her symbol on it.  She quickly changed into her
nightgown and climbed into bed.  Diana climbed into bed with her.  She
was napping in Chibi-Usa's room, but the little princess wasn't there
to sleep anymore.  Minako fell into a deep sleep and began to dream.
	Minako walked into the grand ballroom of the castle in Crystal
Tokyo.  All the Senshi were there in their dresses of silk.  Each one
was wearing her respective color.  She looked up to the throne to see
Neo Queen Serenity and Neo King Endymion.  It was a surprise to Minako
because the King had been missing for many years after they defeated
Galaxia.  She saw the Small Lady walk up to her and grab her hand.  She
dragged Minako to the throne and giggled.  Serenity stood up and
hugged Minako.
	"Mina-chan, I thank you for defending my death.  It was very
brave of you to do so.  Unfortunately there is no one to rule Crystal
Tokyo now.  I need you to rule for me until a reviving source can
revive all of us.  However, you have a tougher job than that.  A new
evil is coming to the Earth.  You need to gather our transformation
brooches and use them as we would.  After so you will become a new
Senshi, Sailor Universe.  But now you need an army to help defend
Tokyo.  Look around.  Do you see the people who stand by the Senshi?"
Minako gasped.  They were all the former enemies of the Sailor Senshi.
She looked at Serenity as if she were insane.  Serenity sat down and
nodded to Small lady.
	"Minako-chan, choose wisely for this is your army."  Spoke the
small girl.  "See after they died they all went to the Silver Millenium
to the past Queen Serenity.  They all repented for their evil deeds
and she healed them.  They all became the true Senshi they all were.
True the Amazoness Quartet were healed before, but the last bit of evil
was cleared.  So, Minako, choose."
	Those words kept repeating over and over again until the
image became a blur.  Minako woke up with a start.  It was morning and
Diana was stretching by Minako's side.  She jumped out of bed and ran
to her chest.  She opened it to see the brooches glowing brightly.
She gathered them up and ran into the room where Luna and Artemis were.
She dropped the brooches on the ground.  She excitedly told them about
her dream.  She looked out the window and saw the sky and thought,
Sailor Senshi, I will do you justice!  I will avenge your deaths and
revive you!  I say this on my most supreme word.  If I fail, I will
plant a seed of hope to carry on my mission!  I will find an answer to
all our problems and I will defeat the enemy.  I shall choose my army
carefully and we shall vanquish.  I shall also add another task to my
soul.  I shall find King Endymion and deliver him to you, Neo Queen
Serenity!

                   Chapter 5: A Beautiful Transformation
Serenity's Palace in Crystal Tokyo
	Minako walked over to all three cats.  She quickly transformed
into Sailor Venus.  The cats looked happy to see that Minako was up to
this.  They motioned to the brooches.  Minako nodded and picked up the
first.  She saw Mercury's symbol enchased on the back, where no one
could see it.  Every Senshi had an encasement.  She held up the brooch.
	"Mercury Crystal Power!"
	Sailor Venus started to levitate as her said the magical words.
A blue light shone in the room and blue darts of water and ice flew
around Sailor Venus and turned her fuku blue.  She landed gracefully,
and she looked at a mirror across the room.  She had turned into Sailor
Mercury and felt full of her power.   She then picked up Mars's.
	"Mars Crystal Power!"
	Again she levitated and a red light shone and red sparks of
fire flew around, turning Venus's fuku red.  Minako looked at the cats.
She felt powerful and holy.  It was as if the souls of her friends
entered her body.  Jupiter's brooch flew to her hand.
	"Jupiter Crystal Power!"
	Still levitated a green light and green leaves flew around the
room tingeing the fuku green.  Diana meowed loudly, as Saturn's brooch
flew up to Minako's hand.  Diana was full of colored powder and felt
strange.  Before Luna could go to see what was wrong, Minako started
her next transformation.
	"Saturn Crystal Power!"
	Purple light shone brightly, in the great room, and a dark
ribbon turned Venus's fuku purple.  Artemis knew what was happening.
Sailor Venus was becoming her friends one by one.  The next brooch,
Uranus's flew up to Minako's hand.
	"Uranus Crystal Power!"
	Yellow light and a bolt of energy flew around and turned the
fuku a gold and navy.  Neptune's brooch flew in Minako's face and Luna
looked at Artemis and he nodded.  He was pleased.
	"Neptune Crystal Power!"
	Teal light and ocean water surrounded Venus and turned her
fuku to a marine blue.  Minako seemed so serene about the whole
process, while Diana was sneezing away from dust flying around.
Pluto's brooch flew into Minako's hand.
	"Pluto Crystal Power!"
	Crimson light and a dark shield appeared in the room.  Venus
shone through the haze in a deep red and green fuku.  The Starlight's
brooches combined into one and flew above Minako.
	"Starlight Crystal Power!"
	A white star flew around Venus turning her fuku black.  Sailor
Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon's brooches combined and flew above Minako.
	"Moon Crystal Power!"
	A rainbow of colors burst in the room.  Minako was pushed up
in the air and disappeared in the rainbow.   The cats looked around as
the mist disappeared in the room.  Diana sneezed again and meowed
loudly.  Luna and Artemis looked at their daughter strangely.  She
turned into a human.  But how, they wondered.  No one has the Silver
Crystal.
        Diana was very happy about this new transformation.  Unlike
the last time she was human, she was an older girl.  She looked about
Minako's age now.  Diana looked at her parents and saw them smiling.
They knew that Sailor Universe must have changed her and is putting
Diana in her army.
	Diana was dressed in a beautiful outfit of pink and purple.
She bent down to see her parents.  She felt strange being a human. She
walked around the room to test out her new legs, so she could help
Sailor Universe battle the new evil.  She looked in the mirror to see
Sailor Universe looking at her.  Diana backed up startled and pointed
to the image.  Minako stepped out of the mirror in a fuku of many
colors.  Her hair was streaked different colors.  She was a new girl.
Minako hugged Diana tightly.  She told Luna and Artemis that Diana was
to be in her army.  They had to give her the henshin stick so she may
transform.  They nodded and the stick appeared and landed by Diana's
feet.  She was overjoyed to be able to transform into Sailor Neon Moon.
