Sailor Sirius Prologue: Part Two 

********************************************************************** 

Silver Millennium Moon Kingdom, 
The Moon, Moon Crystal Palace, 
Princess's private chambers, August 3, 997 A.D.: 

In her chamber, Princess Serenity CrestMoon was eagerly getting ready for her 
engagement ball. Her mother, Queen Serenity Crest Moon, is throwing the ball 
for the engagement between Prince Endymion of Terra Home, Earth, and the Princess. 
What made the event even more special was the fact that this was the first time 
there was an alliance of any kind between the Moon Kingdom, and the Kingdom of 
Earth. Marred by years of war, hate and distrust, the union was considered a miracle, 
and both side welcome the promising effect it would have on the Silver Millenium. 
But still, distrust come up once in a while. 

"Luna, do you think Prince Endymion will be able to get safely through security at 
the ports, now that the Earth people are so heavily distrusted because of the war?" 
asked Princess Serenity, trying on her favorite gown in front of her mirror. 

"I don't know, Sere. The Queen certainly made sure she set up precautions. She 
doesn't want anything to happen on such an important night!" replied Luna, yawning, 
and then licking her paws. 

"Yes, I suppose so." the princess sighed. She looked at herself in her full length 
mirror, and when she was satisfied, moved near her bed where Luna was laying down. 
"All of my friends are supposed to be here tonight, even Tonicia. You know, Luna, 
I am really excited! I haven't seen her in so long!" Princess Serenity smiled at 
the memories of them playing hide-and-seek in the Royal Gardens as little children, 
when Tonicia used to visit more before her duties. 

Luna picked her head up. "Well, you might be excited, but I hope she doesn't bring 
that insufferable guardian dog Marco with her!" Luna got up and walked to the door. 
"As a matter of fact, I'd better go and warn Artermis about what to expect. And 
PLEASE hurry up, Princess. You can't be late for your own ball!" With that, Luna 
sprung away. With a sigh, Princess Serenity began to put on her shoes,when suddenly, 
there was a knock on the door. She bid the person to come in, and a palace guard 
stood at the doorway. 

"Your Majesty, the guest you requested to be brought straight to your chambers has 
arrived." He bowed humbly. "Well, show her in! " replied Princess Serenity replied 
happily. When Princess Tonicia KnightStar came in the room, both let out a girlish 
squeal, and ran towards each other and ended in a gigantic hug. The girls started 
talking at once, talking about school, training, clothes, and which of them had the 
cutest boys in court. 

"Thank you so much for inviting me here! I was about to go mad with all those 
lessons in school and training!!" said Tonicia, when both girls finally exhausted 
themselves, and collapsed on Serenity's big bed. "By the way, Sere, where's your 
mom?" Princess Serenity lowered her eyes. 

"She has alot of things to attend to before she can come to the party. Something 
about the war again, but she says she'll make it." There was a second of an 
uncomfortable silence. "Well! Come on!" said Princess Serenity, mentally shaking 
herself out of the pause. "I have got SO many people to introduce you to! Luna will 
pronounce it a sin if we're late for the party!" Taking the dark-skinned princess's 
hand in her own, Serenity dragged Tonica out of her room, not noticing the guards 
bowing to them as they quickly ran past down the grand hall. 

On reaching the Royal Ballroom and the Royal Gardens, Princess Serenity introduced 
Tonicia to the Sailor Senshi, from Mercury to Pluto and people from beyond, who 
taught the Sailor Guardians of the Inner Court everything they knew, and renewed 
acquaintances with the Sailor Senshi. The party started, and soon, everyone had a 
dancing partner. The Earth hung like a mysterious blue jewel outside the palace 
balcony. Out of the corner of her eye, while dancing with a lord's handsome son, 
Princess Tonicia saw Princess Serenity run up the stairway to the outside balcony. 

"That's funny." Tonicia thought. "Who is she sneaking off to see?" She shrugged 
and continued dancing. A few moments later, Princess Serenity sadly walked down 
the staircase looking around longingly. Tonicia was about to excuse herself to 
go see what was the matter, when suddenly, a tall black haired man in a mask walked 
up in front of Princess Serenity, and asked for a dance. The Princess blushed 
heavily and accepted. 

"I wonder who that guy is." Tonicia thought to herself. "Maybe I should go find out. 
He could be Prince Endymion."All of a sudden, there was a loud crash and heavy bang, 
like a big explosion. Everywhere, people stopped dead in their tracks, and looking 
around frantically. A moment later, Artermis and Marco came running across the dance 
floor, with Luna in the lead. 

"EVERYONE, TAKE COVER!! BRACE YOURSELF!!! Luna yelled, 

"THE MOON KINGDOM IS UNDER ATTACK!!! THE MOON KINGDOM IS UNDER ATTAAACK!!!!!...... 

Darkness. Darkness was all that Tonicia could feel around her. When she awoke, she 
found silence and darkness has engulfed her. "Where..where am I?" she thought. 
"What happened? Am I dead?" Like a flash of lightning, the whole event that took 
place jumped in her mind. Screaming. Buildings falling down around her. Death and 
the dying. Blood everywhere. In her mind, Tonicia saw the Scouts fighting and dying, 
then saw herself change into a scout with the necklace her mother gave her. 

She then saw a strange blue skinned woman laughing at her. With red hair flaring 
behind her, held held a staff that had a crystal ball at the top. The evil woman 
laughed and pointed, calling her a fool. The scene changed, and she then saw Queen 
Serenity crying, holding wand with a crystal on it, then nothing more. 

"Oh no!" she thought, "Everything has been destroyed, and I couldn't help!! 
It's all my fault!!! she started to cry. "No, it is not your fault." came a calm, 
silvery voice " You did as much as you could, and now, it will not be in vain!" 

"Who are you?" Tonicia tried to yell, but found she had no voice , but could 
only think it. "I am the one who will make everything right for you. I will not 
let it end this way!!" the voice replied. "Your bravery and sacrifice will not be 
forgotten. Now , you will go to a new life and new future, and in time , my dear, 
everything will be revealed to you. Even though we may not see each other again, 
know for now that I hold you, my daughter Serentiy, and everyone else dear to my 
heart. Good-bye, brave one, and may the Goddess keep you safe in your life's journey!!" 

Calmly, Princess Tonicia allowed the darkness to take her back to sleep, knowing 
deep inside, she was going to be just fine.
