Golden Era (In Brief)
People from outside of the solar system are fleeing their over crowded homeworld, looking for a new beginning. They arrived after many years of space travel to a far off little solar system at the edge of the Milky Way. They settle on the planet in the middle of the solar system (Now an asteroid field..) They are lead by ten powerful families who all These people settle on the planet and live on it for many years- are ruled by a queen who has a sister and two daughters, a younger brother and a younger sister. The Queen’s name is Amaterasu The queen's the queen and the brother is this brilliant blacksmith/creator of technology... and the youngest sister (Solaris) is only good at .. well, fighting... running wild... etc..
The queen has twin daughters on the flight over with some mysterious suitor who she doesn't claim. She rules alone. And Fredrick, her brother, along with the other scientists, magicians, etc- discovers the way to channel the planets energies- something they didn't think was possible this far out in the system.. so they start channeling the energy that's "different" then the other places.. These energy is- for one reason or another, more primal in energy then they are used too.. So the Queen's brother tests out the processes and finds out he has resonance with the sun's energy. So he creates a device to sink him up with that energy and he comes the first "Knight.”
(note Selene and Brigid are the two children, Brigid is the eldest and heir to her mother’s powers)
He and his team start searching for other people who have resonance with the other planets... starting with the outer bodies/planets like Pluto, Sedna, Neptune, etc... Because they will be the warning system for anyone who tries to come in to steal this most interesting energy of their solar system... So people were found, and thus, the knights of Sedna (Warnings) and so forth were found and discovered and given guardianship over their various functions... When they had divined out devices for the knights to channel their powers and had stabilized the powers, it was brought forth the question on what about the female side of the powers? ... So the Sun knight started working on a crystal to help channel the powers of his own "star" power...
And he was startled to discover his very own sister held the power to channel the power of the sun... So Solaris for the first time ever has something of her own. She's not just the queens sister, or the Sun Knight's sister.. she's Sailor Sol, the senshi of the sun... so She's of course, ecstatic. plus she is one girl among six boys... Anyway This is obviously taking place 'over time' this isn't like WHAm instant.. like.. stuff..
The knights, with their powers, figure out how to colonize all the planets (or in the case of hte gas giants, the largest moon.. but they still call it "the planet of"... Hard ot make life on a place full of gas.....
Neptune does the water, Uranus the Air... Some of the magic types n them can handle the plant life to some extent with various things.. Earth is the planet that thrives the fastest... The Knight of the Sun also provides warmth or cool air to the various planets needing heat-cold modifiers to survive.
So the first dream is the ball after the knights of the order and Sailor Sol are celebrating the soon to be colonization of the planets of the solar system. And everyone is excited because there's plenty of space for everyone to go off and do their own thing.. like mercury is going to be occupied by scientists studying the Sun up close so they can figure out how the sun effects the planetary powers.. Venus is going to become a haven for people who believe in free love hippy style .. (Well you know.. trying to hang with the mythology n whut not..) anyway.. they discover an odd, special energy on the moon... so a special group of the best scientists, magic people, priests, etc.. are all going to the Moon.. to study the energy.. as a priority...
At the Masquerade ball where everyone’s celebrating.. Soloris's niece, Brigid, touches her brooch and taps into the powers, in a different way.. Where Solaris can do all this destruction and Nuking fun... her niece is much more defensive and healing oriented.. this is something that Sun Knight will swear he will fix- later- so that only one person can tap into the special energies and not just another child or innocent.. or worse. villain...But the damage is done.. Solaris isn't the only sun Senshi, techincally so is her niece with the right powers.. So she gets really ticked... her "special something" is not so special anymore.. worse, it's Youko's past self who is also the heir apparent..
Soooo... Solaris has this huge crush on the Pluto knight... She gets mad during a training session or exercise 'or something'.. and fries the Pluto knight.. really badly.. and it's Brigid and Thaumas's healing powers that save his life.. only Brigid so eager to please...sort of makes it impossible for the Pluto knight to die..so he goes through the whole immortal agony n what not.. and Solaris blames herself, and Brigid... and that's enough for Chaos to have a huge foothold in Solaris's life and head. Not to mention her heart..
Again some drama later, the planet Solaris is on blows up.. and the knights sacrifice their powers and their lives to save the planets fragile eco systems from the resulting shockwaves.. and Pluto seals Solaris, the sun knight and Brigid into a part of the underworld with himself to protect the solar system from Solaris and Chaos's touch... the other two are "accidently" locked away too because they share planetary power... the other knights powers are so drained they can not make the transition into reincarnations until much later...
Gaia- the Senshi of Earth and Endymion’s Mommy, is also one of the first Senshi besides Solaris. Sailor Moon, Sailor Sun (and her niece, Sailor Sol) and Sailor Earth all get crystals (Prism, Silver and Gold) The Prism crystal shatters during the explosion of the planet that used to be the middle planet of the solar system- and leaves behind rainbow crystals, just like the silver crystal. These rainbow crystals are the resulting sailor Senshi of the solar system’s talismans. They grow as the sailor Senshi mature- in the series they start as pens and mature to crystal orbs… something similar will happen in our game. It’s Gaia who takes the younger knights and her own crystal to earth and gives them to her son before joining herself into elysion to help permentantly protect Elysion. Helios is her son, as much as Endymion- and he will be the heir apparent to her personal powers. This is why Helios doesn’t technically have his own guardian knight henshin, until he becomes Small lady Serenity’s husband and why he can access the golden crystals power just like Endymion.
Silver Millennium Era
But life moves on.. The sun knight was able to complete the Silver Crystal, which, like the sun crystal and the Earth Crystal were created especially for tapping into the energy of their respected planets.. the earth's Golden Crystal was sent to earth with what will turn into the first earth knight (who gives birth to Endymion..) and in his keeping the four talismans to become the inner knights (Mercury, Venus. Mars and Jupiter) ... To his niece, he gave the knowledge on how to create the senshi talismans.... Selenity begins the silver millennium by establishing the Moon as the new center of the Solar System's power... And rules it for a thousand years... Her daughter, Serenity, will change this of course.. hehe..
Selenity establishes the outer senshi, well, Pluto, Uranus and Neptune..she's warned by Pluto, who's the first just like her uncle did him the first, that she shouldn't awaken Saturn or try to find her until she was needed.. for her powers would be fearsome.. and it would herald the end of the Silver Millennium..and.. Pluto warned Selenity that if the Earth ever joined they would lose everything.. so All the alliance never ever went to earth or spoke to them.. heeding Pluto's warnings.
Endymion is the first king of earth/elysion the land of dreams to bring the warring tribes of earth together.. because unlike the other planets, Earth has a thriving natural eco system- like the middle world that went BOOM!!!- and the people who settled it aren't bound by little water.. breathable air.. heat ports.. cold ports...etc.. So they can war a lot easier with a lot less ZOMG WORLD ENDING issues.. Endymion, and his four kings are the first time that the world has a chance to combine up into one.. iti helps that the four kings are also resonating with the powers of the knight talismans and thus they are able to transform into knights- and tap into planetary energy (though they don't know it's planetary energy they just think it's magical awesome shit they get for being in Endymion's guard..)
The last kingdom is *Adjusted* Japan. A small country, a series of islands really- where there’s the largest gate to the core of the planet and Elysion. It’s guarded, zealously by Queen Beryl and her people. Soo.. Beryl's hte last kingdom on earth.. and Endymion agrees to marry her since he can't exactly make her a part of his guard..
With Earth stopping their internal conflicts and the boys finding their henshins they are all feeling called to look outside of their planet to the women who are the counterpart to their knights. The Inner senshi, who are Serenity's Guard... are 16-18.. and protect the princess.. Who is as curious as a kitten when it comes to the earth.. Endymion, listening to Nephrite, who speaks tot eh stars, agrees to try to reach out to the kingdoms out of earth’s atmosphere.. and with the help of all his kings and Helios, he makes contact.. not with Selenity.. but with Serenity. And Serenity agrees to help the earthlings enter the Silver Alliance of Planets.. Endymion, who's engaged to Beryl, leaves her planning their wedding to go to the Moon with the four kings to see about joining up with the alliance.
.. Now.. Beryl's not evil. She's a very beautiful, if slightly older woman..in her mid to late 20s.. to Endymions 18-19 years.. Beryls a fighter, she is a warrior queen who is not a bad magician.. She's totally okay with sparing with the kings and guards of various sorts- she's had to be to survive as long as she had and protect her kingdom... She's not evil though. But she's also not Serenity..
Serenity who's innocent, doesn't know war, or death, or anything more strongly in pain then a tummy ache from having too many sweets. Where Beryl is vibrant and full of life, Serenity is pale and fragile. Delicate. Endymion falls head over heels in love with her. The Kings, who understand about duty before love, also fall in love, but they and the princesses they fall in love with understand that their "duty" comes before love.. and that their people, come before love.. For Endymion and Serenity-.. they could only see each other.
Endymion returns home after that visit and breaks up with Beryl.. He doesn't have the ability to go through with their wedding when he has Serenity on the Moon. his Bunny... Beryl is heartbroken. The other Kings also found ladies and there is no magical "Lunar" knight for her to have and to have him make her safe. She is once again 'just Beryl'.. Queen of her Kingdom... and Alone.... And Betrayed..
So she goes to the other knights.. and tells them that Enydmion (Head over heels in love, not carrying as much about his planet, and her people, as he does the gentle, slow seduction of his moon bunny whom he takes every opportunity to go see..) that Endymion is betraying Earth.. By not marrying her, he's giving up his planet and their alliance for one with the moon. Serenity has bewitched him.. and her ladies, in turn, bewitched the men... they don't truly love them, they want to conquer earth so they can have the rich natural resources and not depend on ancient (and whispered to be - failing) magic that sustains their planets habitats...... The Kings laugh it off.. in love themselves they understand their Prince's fascination with the moon lady.. but Beryl isn't convinced and she begins to build an army against the lunarian army- for her Endymion and her friends would never of betrayed her heart like this just because of Love..... not when she loved them so much...and this is when Beryl gets corrupted- or starts to be corrupted by Chaos's minion.. hehe
But Beryls words haunt the men,.. while they continue to seduce their own ladies, they can't help but wonder about how 'easy' it was for Serenity to have four guards... How they were each beautiful on their own... and how they each magically fell in love and fit just right.. and so forth.. and what if 'they' were betraying Earth by loving them- for surely they were expected to go with their ladies to their respective planets to co-rule them with them.. leaving earth to others and not themselves..
Beryl builds and corrupts the earth over the course of a year.. building up her power.. and her armies.. turning the planet against the Moon..and to chaos...
Then when the Kings and Endymion are up at the masquerade ball, Beryl uses their opening to flood to the mon to take it over, now fully betrayed because she heard Endymion had proposed to Serenity AND he was going to move to earth to BE with her.. and her kingdom.. and rule earth from the Moon... That's enough for the knights who, during the attack run to protect the earth people from the moon people.. and Endymion runs to serenity and leaves them to try to stem the tide on their own.in that moment of betrayal.. the Kings fall to Chaos.
The Kings- now corrupted by chaos go and confront their ladies, accusing them of seducing them and betraying their hearts from their land and their kingdoms... the senshi and kings kill themselves.. the outer senshi (Uranus and Neptune) are killed by the sheer number of corrupted earthlings/ Youmas are thrown at them. .. Beryl, tries to kill Serenity kills Endymion by accident.. and Serenity kills herself..
.. With the senshi dead, the habitats and the planetary links are snapped.. The planets all over begin experiencing system failures.. Beryl had succeeded all to well.
Selenity using her great and powerful command over the silver crystal had no one to feed her extra energy or power- unlike her daughter who will accomplish this and more later in her new life as Usagi with the help of her friends and Endymion... Gives her life up to save what few lives were living or newly dead to reincarnate on Earth.. Then with the last of her energy awakens Saturn.. Saturn drops the glaive and wipes out the rest of those suffering on the outposts and planets... restarting life, on earth...
Iron Age
Whip through the series, taking a small side note to examine the one real huge break in Canon that both the manga and Anime makes- and it happens with Chaos.
Sailor Moon in Sailor Moon R (With Chibi Usa and the Black Moon Family) establishes that she at some point purifies the earthlings of all their chaos energy. Yet, in sailor moon Stars (With the cross dressers and Galaxia) she chooses to let Chaos flow back into people, going so far as to say that she believes that everyone should have the right to choose- even if that means having a little chaos now and again.
This sort of bends and I believe, breaks canon. What happens to make Usagi go from a little Chaos is OKAy to ZOMG PURIFY YOUR ASSES OF CHAOS!? … Well… I have thought long and hard about it.. so this is what happens ‘after’ the series ends… With a few key changes from the Anime – and Manga.
One, like in the Manga, the Generals- having been released from Beryls control, serve as spirit guides and mentors to Mamo-chan (Endymion/Darien) in the form of rocks and spirits. The rocks being the physical representation of themselves. They are also seeking redemption and forgiveness from their “betrayal” of their prince… their Senshi are a second thought to this- not a distant second thought but duty before love.
Second- That the “Wise Man” or “Death Phantom” was in fact a human. This is something that fanfiction has toyed with constantly in the 20!? Years that sailor moon has been around for. That the Death Phantom was one fo the first humans to get hurled to Nemesis and his hatred was so huge that even in death he couldn’t be stopped. We’re taking this idea and making him the final bad guy who wins… And, Even though in Sailor Moon R- he is killed, hetoo will be a villian in one of our future seasons.. not season one.
Third- I have seriously given thought and I’m adjusting Season 1’s prospective outlook from being a baby season to a full grown season.. Details in “Heroic Age”
It all started with a cloaked figure with a skeleton’s bony hands over an orb. This figure doesn’t have a name that particularly leaps to mind, nor has it ever been given a name in the few written histories from the early 2000s. This figure challenged a group of men and women in an “epic” battle... that drained the men and the women of their energy to defeat. The figure- even in his dying moments- laughed at the men and women (and in his dreams, at Carter himself) insisting this wasn’t the end.
It wasn’t. Exhausted and drained on the battle field, the Senshi (Mercury- Pluto, without earth or the asteroid senshi) and the Knights (Endymion in his guise as Tuxedo Mask, and then the Four Kings) were trying to pick up each other when the unthinkable happened. The other countries of the world, unaware of which side won or lost, sent nuclear missiles to Japan to neutralize the targets- believing that no matter who one, the blast of energy and danger was to great to let them survive- regardless of their intent.
Born out of fear these missiles headed for the Senshi and the Knights. the Knights threw up protections using every ounce of their guardian power- and the senshi were quick to support their men, who had an innate connection with the very earth itself. Endymion used his golden crystal and Serenity her silver crystal and the resulting explosion coated the earth in ice and crystal, sending all who lived on the planet into a deep sleep, sparing only Pluto, Uranus and Neptune- who would guard the sleeping planet from outside forces for 1000 years.
The Crystal Age
When the world wakes up again, under Neo Queen Serenity’s power (she’s lost her ability to becomes Sailor Moon)- it’s with great consequences. many people didn’t make it through the shock of the crystal sleep. the worlds population is now only 1 or 2 million total- the loss of life and the chaos promotes Neo Queen Serenity to purify everyone who remains- sending those few who don’t want to be purified to a small planet whom the renegades, the original renegades, call Nemesis.
History, easily to found can detail what happens next. For 900 years there is happiness and bliss in the world. People do not die, and their children have incredibly slow aging rates- though the closer to the palace the more pronounced this effect. Chibi Usa- or Small lady Serenity, only ages to age 4 or so in 900 odd years. Somewhere in the last 100 years of this 1000 year period- the Black Moon Family from Nemesis attacks Crystal Tokyo- seeking to conquer it and their queen. Prince Diamond and his band of renegades almost complete the job too- leaving the city in ruins.
This props the beginning of the end of the “Crystal” Age of great magics.. When Chibi Usa going to the past, and coming back desiring to be a lady, Neo Queen Serenity allows her wish for no one to ever die again- by old age or disease- to begin to fade. People begin to age again, normally and yes, even die. This includes the senshi and their kings... Small Lady Serenity matures into a young lady (with a few trips to the past) and she and her court, begin their own reign of Earth when she’s 18 in appearance and maturity...
The Neo Queen, her King, and her court, all leave the younger generation to make their own mistakes, retiring to Elysion where they are never heard from again. Small Lady Serenity, in her missing of her mother and her father, decides to renovate the old Moon Kingdom- which quickly becomes her and hte courts escape from growing dissent among the people who don’t understand why they can’t be ageless once more.
While on the Moon Kingdom, Small Lady Serenity discovers an ancient seal- one that was hidden in the prayer tower of the moon Kingdom. Serenity, her mother, had never mentioned this ancient seal... Small Lady Serenity uses the silver crystal to break the bindings on the seal. Inside she finds four bodies trapped in crystal that shines with its own light. There is no writing to suggest anything, and one of the women is wearing a sailor fuku.
Small Lady Serenity, with the help of her court (the Asteroid Senshi and their guardian knights) unlock the Sleeping Senshi... only to discover to late she was corrupted by chaos. Even after thousands of years of slumber trapped in a crystal, Sailor Sun was unpurified by the energies of Chaos. She beings as a friend, insisting that the other three figures remain sleeping- that they are in fact tainted by chaos...
Two of these figures are knights, and one is of a girl who can’t be more then 18... Long story short, hehe, Solaris bides her time and learns of the future of now. She attacks Small Lady Serenity and her court where they are most vulnerable. The resulting battle is not something there are any real clear records on... the Senshi and knights of the “younger” generation had never passed on their powers- by choice or by bad timing- the world was left without sailor senshi and Knights... and given a crystal monument of Solaris... Which was placed in Crystal Angeles..
People from outside of the solar system are fleeing their over crowded homeworld, looking for a new beginning. They arrived after many years of space travel to a far off little solar system at the edge of the Milky Way. They settle on the planet in the middle of the solar system (Now an asteroid field..) They are lead by ten powerful families who all These people settle on the planet and live on it for many years- are ruled by a queen who has a sister and two daughters, a younger brother and a younger sister. The Queen’s name is Amaterasu The queen's the queen and the brother is this brilliant blacksmith/creator of technology... and the youngest sister (Solaris) is only good at .. well, fighting... running wild... etc..
The queen has twin daughters on the flight over with some mysterious suitor who she doesn't claim. She rules alone. And Fredrick, her brother, along with the other scientists, magicians, etc- discovers the way to channel the planets energies- something they didn't think was possible this far out in the system.. so they start channeling the energy that's "different" then the other places.. These energy is- for one reason or another, more primal in energy then they are used too.. So the Queen's brother tests out the processes and finds out he has resonance with the sun's energy. So he creates a device to sink him up with that energy and he comes the first "Knight.”
(note Selene and Brigid are the two children, Brigid is the eldest and heir to her mother’s powers)
He and his team start searching for other people who have resonance with the other planets... starting with the outer bodies/planets like Pluto, Sedna, Neptune, etc... Because they will be the warning system for anyone who tries to come in to steal this most interesting energy of their solar system... So people were found, and thus, the knights of Sedna (Warnings) and so forth were found and discovered and given guardianship over their various functions... When they had divined out devices for the knights to channel their powers and had stabilized the powers, it was brought forth the question on what about the female side of the powers? ... So the Sun knight started working on a crystal to help channel the powers of his own "star" power...
And he was startled to discover his very own sister held the power to channel the power of the sun... So Solaris for the first time ever has something of her own. She's not just the queens sister, or the Sun Knight's sister.. she's Sailor Sol, the senshi of the sun... so She's of course, ecstatic. plus she is one girl among six boys... Anyway This is obviously taking place 'over time' this isn't like WHAm instant.. like.. stuff..
The knights, with their powers, figure out how to colonize all the planets (or in the case of hte gas giants, the largest moon.. but they still call it "the planet of"... Hard ot make life on a place full of gas.....
Neptune does the water, Uranus the Air... Some of the magic types n them can handle the plant life to some extent with various things.. Earth is the planet that thrives the fastest... The Knight of the Sun also provides warmth or cool air to the various planets needing heat-cold modifiers to survive.
So the first dream is the ball after the knights of the order and Sailor Sol are celebrating the soon to be colonization of the planets of the solar system. And everyone is excited because there's plenty of space for everyone to go off and do their own thing.. like mercury is going to be occupied by scientists studying the Sun up close so they can figure out how the sun effects the planetary powers.. Venus is going to become a haven for people who believe in free love hippy style .. (Well you know.. trying to hang with the mythology n whut not..) anyway.. they discover an odd, special energy on the moon... so a special group of the best scientists, magic people, priests, etc.. are all going to the Moon.. to study the energy.. as a priority...
At the Masquerade ball where everyone’s celebrating.. Soloris's niece, Brigid, touches her brooch and taps into the powers, in a different way.. Where Solaris can do all this destruction and Nuking fun... her niece is much more defensive and healing oriented.. this is something that Sun Knight will swear he will fix- later- so that only one person can tap into the special energies and not just another child or innocent.. or worse. villain...But the damage is done.. Solaris isn't the only sun Senshi, techincally so is her niece with the right powers.. So she gets really ticked... her "special something" is not so special anymore.. worse, it's Youko's past self who is also the heir apparent..
Soooo... Solaris has this huge crush on the Pluto knight... She gets mad during a training session or exercise 'or something'.. and fries the Pluto knight.. really badly.. and it's Brigid and Thaumas's healing powers that save his life.. only Brigid so eager to please...sort of makes it impossible for the Pluto knight to die..so he goes through the whole immortal agony n what not.. and Solaris blames herself, and Brigid... and that's enough for Chaos to have a huge foothold in Solaris's life and head. Not to mention her heart..
Again some drama later, the planet Solaris is on blows up.. and the knights sacrifice their powers and their lives to save the planets fragile eco systems from the resulting shockwaves.. and Pluto seals Solaris, the sun knight and Brigid into a part of the underworld with himself to protect the solar system from Solaris and Chaos's touch... the other two are "accidently" locked away too because they share planetary power... the other knights powers are so drained they can not make the transition into reincarnations until much later...
Gaia- the Senshi of Earth and Endymion’s Mommy, is also one of the first Senshi besides Solaris. Sailor Moon, Sailor Sun (and her niece, Sailor Sol) and Sailor Earth all get crystals (Prism, Silver and Gold) The Prism crystal shatters during the explosion of the planet that used to be the middle planet of the solar system- and leaves behind rainbow crystals, just like the silver crystal. These rainbow crystals are the resulting sailor Senshi of the solar system’s talismans. They grow as the sailor Senshi mature- in the series they start as pens and mature to crystal orbs… something similar will happen in our game. It’s Gaia who takes the younger knights and her own crystal to earth and gives them to her son before joining herself into elysion to help permentantly protect Elysion. Helios is her son, as much as Endymion- and he will be the heir apparent to her personal powers. This is why Helios doesn’t technically have his own guardian knight henshin, until he becomes Small lady Serenity’s husband and why he can access the golden crystals power just like Endymion.
Silver Millennium Era
But life moves on.. The sun knight was able to complete the Silver Crystal, which, like the sun crystal and the Earth Crystal were created especially for tapping into the energy of their respected planets.. the earth's Golden Crystal was sent to earth with what will turn into the first earth knight (who gives birth to Endymion..) and in his keeping the four talismans to become the inner knights (Mercury, Venus. Mars and Jupiter) ... To his niece, he gave the knowledge on how to create the senshi talismans.... Selenity begins the silver millennium by establishing the Moon as the new center of the Solar System's power... And rules it for a thousand years... Her daughter, Serenity, will change this of course.. hehe..
Selenity establishes the outer senshi, well, Pluto, Uranus and Neptune..she's warned by Pluto, who's the first just like her uncle did him the first, that she shouldn't awaken Saturn or try to find her until she was needed.. for her powers would be fearsome.. and it would herald the end of the Silver Millennium..and.. Pluto warned Selenity that if the Earth ever joined they would lose everything.. so All the alliance never ever went to earth or spoke to them.. heeding Pluto's warnings.
Endymion is the first king of earth/elysion the land of dreams to bring the warring tribes of earth together.. because unlike the other planets, Earth has a thriving natural eco system- like the middle world that went BOOM!!!- and the people who settled it aren't bound by little water.. breathable air.. heat ports.. cold ports...etc.. So they can war a lot easier with a lot less ZOMG WORLD ENDING issues.. Endymion, and his four kings are the first time that the world has a chance to combine up into one.. iti helps that the four kings are also resonating with the powers of the knight talismans and thus they are able to transform into knights- and tap into planetary energy (though they don't know it's planetary energy they just think it's magical awesome shit they get for being in Endymion's guard..)
The last kingdom is *Adjusted* Japan. A small country, a series of islands really- where there’s the largest gate to the core of the planet and Elysion. It’s guarded, zealously by Queen Beryl and her people. Soo.. Beryl's hte last kingdom on earth.. and Endymion agrees to marry her since he can't exactly make her a part of his guard..
With Earth stopping their internal conflicts and the boys finding their henshins they are all feeling called to look outside of their planet to the women who are the counterpart to their knights. The Inner senshi, who are Serenity's Guard... are 16-18.. and protect the princess.. Who is as curious as a kitten when it comes to the earth.. Endymion, listening to Nephrite, who speaks tot eh stars, agrees to try to reach out to the kingdoms out of earth’s atmosphere.. and with the help of all his kings and Helios, he makes contact.. not with Selenity.. but with Serenity. And Serenity agrees to help the earthlings enter the Silver Alliance of Planets.. Endymion, who's engaged to Beryl, leaves her planning their wedding to go to the Moon with the four kings to see about joining up with the alliance.
.. Now.. Beryl's not evil. She's a very beautiful, if slightly older woman..in her mid to late 20s.. to Endymions 18-19 years.. Beryls a fighter, she is a warrior queen who is not a bad magician.. She's totally okay with sparing with the kings and guards of various sorts- she's had to be to survive as long as she had and protect her kingdom... She's not evil though. But she's also not Serenity..
Serenity who's innocent, doesn't know war, or death, or anything more strongly in pain then a tummy ache from having too many sweets. Where Beryl is vibrant and full of life, Serenity is pale and fragile. Delicate. Endymion falls head over heels in love with her. The Kings, who understand about duty before love, also fall in love, but they and the princesses they fall in love with understand that their "duty" comes before love.. and that their people, come before love.. For Endymion and Serenity-.. they could only see each other.
Endymion returns home after that visit and breaks up with Beryl.. He doesn't have the ability to go through with their wedding when he has Serenity on the Moon. his Bunny... Beryl is heartbroken. The other Kings also found ladies and there is no magical "Lunar" knight for her to have and to have him make her safe. She is once again 'just Beryl'.. Queen of her Kingdom... and Alone.... And Betrayed..
So she goes to the other knights.. and tells them that Enydmion (Head over heels in love, not carrying as much about his planet, and her people, as he does the gentle, slow seduction of his moon bunny whom he takes every opportunity to go see..) that Endymion is betraying Earth.. By not marrying her, he's giving up his planet and their alliance for one with the moon. Serenity has bewitched him.. and her ladies, in turn, bewitched the men... they don't truly love them, they want to conquer earth so they can have the rich natural resources and not depend on ancient (and whispered to be - failing) magic that sustains their planets habitats...... The Kings laugh it off.. in love themselves they understand their Prince's fascination with the moon lady.. but Beryl isn't convinced and she begins to build an army against the lunarian army- for her Endymion and her friends would never of betrayed her heart like this just because of Love..... not when she loved them so much...and this is when Beryl gets corrupted- or starts to be corrupted by Chaos's minion.. hehe
But Beryls words haunt the men,.. while they continue to seduce their own ladies, they can't help but wonder about how 'easy' it was for Serenity to have four guards... How they were each beautiful on their own... and how they each magically fell in love and fit just right.. and so forth.. and what if 'they' were betraying Earth by loving them- for surely they were expected to go with their ladies to their respective planets to co-rule them with them.. leaving earth to others and not themselves..
Beryl builds and corrupts the earth over the course of a year.. building up her power.. and her armies.. turning the planet against the Moon..and to chaos...
Then when the Kings and Endymion are up at the masquerade ball, Beryl uses their opening to flood to the mon to take it over, now fully betrayed because she heard Endymion had proposed to Serenity AND he was going to move to earth to BE with her.. and her kingdom.. and rule earth from the Moon... That's enough for the knights who, during the attack run to protect the earth people from the moon people.. and Endymion runs to serenity and leaves them to try to stem the tide on their own.in that moment of betrayal.. the Kings fall to Chaos.
The Kings- now corrupted by chaos go and confront their ladies, accusing them of seducing them and betraying their hearts from their land and their kingdoms... the senshi and kings kill themselves.. the outer senshi (Uranus and Neptune) are killed by the sheer number of corrupted earthlings/ Youmas are thrown at them. .. Beryl, tries to kill Serenity kills Endymion by accident.. and Serenity kills herself..
.. With the senshi dead, the habitats and the planetary links are snapped.. The planets all over begin experiencing system failures.. Beryl had succeeded all to well.
Selenity using her great and powerful command over the silver crystal had no one to feed her extra energy or power- unlike her daughter who will accomplish this and more later in her new life as Usagi with the help of her friends and Endymion... Gives her life up to save what few lives were living or newly dead to reincarnate on Earth.. Then with the last of her energy awakens Saturn.. Saturn drops the glaive and wipes out the rest of those suffering on the outposts and planets... restarting life, on earth...
Iron Age
Whip through the series, taking a small side note to examine the one real huge break in Canon that both the manga and Anime makes- and it happens with Chaos.
Sailor Moon in Sailor Moon R (With Chibi Usa and the Black Moon Family) establishes that she at some point purifies the earthlings of all their chaos energy. Yet, in sailor moon Stars (With the cross dressers and Galaxia) she chooses to let Chaos flow back into people, going so far as to say that she believes that everyone should have the right to choose- even if that means having a little chaos now and again.
This sort of bends and I believe, breaks canon. What happens to make Usagi go from a little Chaos is OKAy to ZOMG PURIFY YOUR ASSES OF CHAOS!? … Well… I have thought long and hard about it.. so this is what happens ‘after’ the series ends… With a few key changes from the Anime – and Manga.
One, like in the Manga, the Generals- having been released from Beryls control, serve as spirit guides and mentors to Mamo-chan (Endymion/Darien) in the form of rocks and spirits. The rocks being the physical representation of themselves. They are also seeking redemption and forgiveness from their “betrayal” of their prince… their Senshi are a second thought to this- not a distant second thought but duty before love.
Second- That the “Wise Man” or “Death Phantom” was in fact a human. This is something that fanfiction has toyed with constantly in the 20!? Years that sailor moon has been around for. That the Death Phantom was one fo the first humans to get hurled to Nemesis and his hatred was so huge that even in death he couldn’t be stopped. We’re taking this idea and making him the final bad guy who wins… And, Even though in Sailor Moon R- he is killed, hetoo will be a villian in one of our future seasons.. not season one.
Third- I have seriously given thought and I’m adjusting Season 1’s prospective outlook from being a baby season to a full grown season.. Details in “Heroic Age”
It all started with a cloaked figure with a skeleton’s bony hands over an orb. This figure doesn’t have a name that particularly leaps to mind, nor has it ever been given a name in the few written histories from the early 2000s. This figure challenged a group of men and women in an “epic” battle... that drained the men and the women of their energy to defeat. The figure- even in his dying moments- laughed at the men and women (and in his dreams, at Carter himself) insisting this wasn’t the end.
It wasn’t. Exhausted and drained on the battle field, the Senshi (Mercury- Pluto, without earth or the asteroid senshi) and the Knights (Endymion in his guise as Tuxedo Mask, and then the Four Kings) were trying to pick up each other when the unthinkable happened. The other countries of the world, unaware of which side won or lost, sent nuclear missiles to Japan to neutralize the targets- believing that no matter who one, the blast of energy and danger was to great to let them survive- regardless of their intent.
Born out of fear these missiles headed for the Senshi and the Knights. the Knights threw up protections using every ounce of their guardian power- and the senshi were quick to support their men, who had an innate connection with the very earth itself. Endymion used his golden crystal and Serenity her silver crystal and the resulting explosion coated the earth in ice and crystal, sending all who lived on the planet into a deep sleep, sparing only Pluto, Uranus and Neptune- who would guard the sleeping planet from outside forces for 1000 years.
The Crystal Age
When the world wakes up again, under Neo Queen Serenity’s power (she’s lost her ability to becomes Sailor Moon)- it’s with great consequences. many people didn’t make it through the shock of the crystal sleep. the worlds population is now only 1 or 2 million total- the loss of life and the chaos promotes Neo Queen Serenity to purify everyone who remains- sending those few who don’t want to be purified to a small planet whom the renegades, the original renegades, call Nemesis.
History, easily to found can detail what happens next. For 900 years there is happiness and bliss in the world. People do not die, and their children have incredibly slow aging rates- though the closer to the palace the more pronounced this effect. Chibi Usa- or Small lady Serenity, only ages to age 4 or so in 900 odd years. Somewhere in the last 100 years of this 1000 year period- the Black Moon Family from Nemesis attacks Crystal Tokyo- seeking to conquer it and their queen. Prince Diamond and his band of renegades almost complete the job too- leaving the city in ruins.
This props the beginning of the end of the “Crystal” Age of great magics.. When Chibi Usa going to the past, and coming back desiring to be a lady, Neo Queen Serenity allows her wish for no one to ever die again- by old age or disease- to begin to fade. People begin to age again, normally and yes, even die. This includes the senshi and their kings... Small Lady Serenity matures into a young lady (with a few trips to the past) and she and her court, begin their own reign of Earth when she’s 18 in appearance and maturity...
The Neo Queen, her King, and her court, all leave the younger generation to make their own mistakes, retiring to Elysion where they are never heard from again. Small Lady Serenity, in her missing of her mother and her father, decides to renovate the old Moon Kingdom- which quickly becomes her and hte courts escape from growing dissent among the people who don’t understand why they can’t be ageless once more.
While on the Moon Kingdom, Small Lady Serenity discovers an ancient seal- one that was hidden in the prayer tower of the moon Kingdom. Serenity, her mother, had never mentioned this ancient seal... Small Lady Serenity uses the silver crystal to break the bindings on the seal. Inside she finds four bodies trapped in crystal that shines with its own light. There is no writing to suggest anything, and one of the women is wearing a sailor fuku.
Small Lady Serenity, with the help of her court (the Asteroid Senshi and their guardian knights) unlock the Sleeping Senshi... only to discover to late she was corrupted by chaos. Even after thousands of years of slumber trapped in a crystal, Sailor Sun was unpurified by the energies of Chaos. She beings as a friend, insisting that the other three figures remain sleeping- that they are in fact tainted by chaos...
Two of these figures are knights, and one is of a girl who can’t be more then 18... Long story short, hehe, Solaris bides her time and learns of the future of now. She attacks Small Lady Serenity and her court where they are most vulnerable. The resulting battle is not something there are any real clear records on... the Senshi and knights of the “younger” generation had never passed on their powers- by choice or by bad timing- the world was left without sailor senshi and Knights... and given a crystal monument of Solaris... Which was placed in Crystal Angeles..
