Proluge: Legend of the First Senshi, the Sailor Guardians
By: Sailor GlitterGirl & Rose Aquarius
At: Don't you know by now?


	It all started when over three thousand years ago, an evil
ruler, the king of the leading kingdom of an alternate dimension 
attacked the only kingdom whose occupants posed a threat to them;
The Light Kingdoms of the Lightverse, another alternate dimension.

	The two queens, Queen Unilaxia, who had two toddler daughters,
and who controlled the light of the stars, and her sister, Queen 
Chronosia, whom had one adult son, and whom controlled the light of the
planets, had fought the Shadow warriors at every turn, but finally,
they had no choice but to use a great object of power. But earlier in
their battles, the evil king of the Shadow Kingdom had placed a curse
upon them, saying that if they ever used this great power, they would
be destroyed.

	Luckily, he hadn't know that they had other powers. The powers
of the Sailor Senshi. Queen Unilaxia became the warrior of starlight,
Sailor Universe. And Queen Chronosia became the warrior of life-light,
Sailor Galaxy.

	These powers alowed them to live a little longer after using
the great power, the Cosmos Crystal, which was created when the two
halves, the two Light Crystals -one belonging to each sister- were 
joined. And when they did, the Shadow Kingdom was shoved back, sealed
away in their gloomy dimension for all time.

	But then, knowing that their death was drawing near, and since
they feared that other evils -perhaps even one day the Shadow Kingdom-
would rise to threaten the safety of good, and the lives of all
dimensions.

	So, with painstaking caution, they selected the strongest, 
best led kingdom among all dimensions, ruled by a young, beautiful, and
fair queen named Queen Serentity Tranquility. All the queens of the
planets of the main star system were good and pure, and all were the
best of friends.

	Satisfied that they would do, Queen Unilaxia and Queen 
Chronosia split the Cosmos Crystal into fourteen seperate crystals, the
Light Crystals, and gave them to the queens, giving them each the
power to become the Senshi of their own planets, each taking an oath
to protect all that was good should the Shadow Kingdom ever arise again.

	Over time, the senshi learned to tap into their own personal
energies, and use that to fight other evils, other than the Shadow 
Kingdom.

	Then Queen Unilaxia gave her beloved daughters to the Queen
Serenity, ruler of the Moon of the third planet in the system, where
the head quaters of the alliance of the solar system, the Silver 
Millennium, was based.

	Then the Queens went home, to what was left of their kingdom
after the war, and died together in their sleep.

	The Sailor Senshi, while the Universe was not in danger, 
became the guardians of the Moon Queen, and when their own daughters
were old enough, they passed on a portion of their power to their
daughters, the princesses of the planets, and they in turn guarded the
daughter of Queen Serenity Tranquility and her husband, who was the
son of Queen Chronosia. Their daughter was the young Princess Serenity
the first.

	Upon their thirteenth birthdays, the Princesses of the long
forgotten Light Kingdom, daughters of Queen Unilaxia, were told of
their true origins, or what little was known of it, and given their
own Light Crystals, the two main pieces for the Cosmos Crystal. They,
the Queen, and Sailor Pluto, the guardian of time and son of Queen 
Chronosia, were the only ones who knew of the legend of the Cosmos 
Crystal, and of the recent prophecy that the Shadow Kingdom *was* to 
return.

	Only a year later, their half brother, Prince Orion, left to
find the Shadow Kingdom, conviced that the evil shadow creatures would
win when they returned.

	Try as they might, they could not change the young, naiive and
ambitious prince's mind, and he left to join the side of evil, never to
be seen again.

	The Sailor Guardians, the only two senshi without planets, the
daughters of Queen Unilaxia, joined the ranks of the younger Senshi in
guarding Princess Serenity.

	Then, on the day before Princess Serenity's coronation as heir
to the Moon Kingdom throne, her younger sister, Princess Beryl, showed
her jealous power. Envious and vengeful that her sister was to be
queen and bearer of the legendary Silver Moon Crystal and not her, had
become evil, gathering her minions and planning an assult of the
Moon Kingdom.

	Having gotten wind of the prophecy of an evil kingdom coming 
and destroying everything, she thought her army that kingdom, and
dubbed herself Queen Beryl of the Dark Kingdom.

	She attacked, focusing most of her reasources on destroying
the princess. But the younger Sailor Senshi fought bravely, calling
upon their personal powers as well as the powers that came from 
their pieces of their Mothers' Light Crystals. 

	Eventually, after using a combined, tiring attack, they managed
to throw Beryl and her minions into a prison in the sun, to be 
trapped there for all eternity.

	Yet just before she was sealed away, Beryl aimed one last
blast at her sister. But, seeing it in time, Sailors Galaxy and Sailor
Universe, daughters of Queen Unilaxia took the blow for themselves.
Their power of light protecting them and counteracting Beryl's power
in an unexpected way, and they were cast into a third dimension.

	The Lightverse.

	It took many years for the two princesses and close sisters to
piece together their past from what was left of the library and royal
records in the ruins of the palace. Due to affects of that dimension
and Beryl's power, they didn't age at all, even in the hundred years
that they spent there, using their powers to reconstruct the palace to
livible conditions.

	Eventually, they established a weak link with the Princess
Serenity the first, who was by that time Queen Serenity, and had a
daughter by her then late husband of Pluto. The young Princess was as
beautiful as her mother, and just as vibrant. 

	She was Princess Serenity the second.

	It took quite a while, but eventually Queen Serenity, along
with the help of the daughter of the original Sailor Pluto, Princess
Setsuna, they were able to make it so that the two Light Princesses,
whom had reclaimed their identities as Princess Universia of the 
Universal Light Kingdom, the first half of the Light Kingdom, and who
was Sailor Universe. Her sister claimed her rightful title as Princess
Galaxcia, ruler of the second half of the Light Kingdom, the Galactica
Kingdom, also Sailor Galaxy.

	But by the time the trans-dimensional link was established,
they had become a mere legend throughout the starsystem, and they 
deemed it best to leave it that way.

	Their cousin, Sailor Pluto, and her sister Queen Serenity
were the only ones who knew that they were not a legend, and visited as
often as possible. 

	Then, on a whim, the two sisters decided to take a long awaited,
and greatly earned vacation, having become bored with simply watching
over the starsystem, just as Pluto watched over time.

	Yet, while vacationing, Queen Beryl was finally released, and
she attacked yet again. Sailo Pluto rescued her cousins just before
their vacationing place was conquered, and explained to them why she
could not let them help defend the starsystem, explaing that if they
interferred, destiny and fate's plans, along with the true flow of 
time would be disrupted.

	Instead, they were sent into the future, where the Shadow 
Kingdom had finally arisen yet again, as the prophecy from so long ago
was beginning to be fulfilled.

	There they met up with the reincarnations of the guardians of
Princess Serenity the second, daughter of their own cousin, Queen
Serenity, who had acquired her own powers as a senshi, Sailor Moon.

	There was also the Prince of Earth, who was Serenity's love in
the Silver Millennium, and who still was. They were startled to discover
that a small, pink haired young girl wearing the royal odangoes was the
future Neo-Princess Serentiy, the future daughter of Princess Serenity
and Prince Endymion in the Crystal Millennium, a thousand years into
the future.

	Staying on the sidelines for a short while, helping in battles
only when nesseccary, they were finally forced to tell the senshi who 
they were, and rekindle their memories of the legend of the Shadow 
Kingdom.

	The last senshi of the Silver Millennium were shocked when told
that for the past four years they'd been fighting, they hadn't been
using their *true* senshi forms, but had been using the guises that came
with their own persoanal powers, the Light Warriors, and that to
defeat the Shadow Kingdom, they must obtain their true Senshi forms,
allowing them access to their Light Crystals, so they could form the
Cosmos Crystal.

	Then, most unexpectedly, the former Prince Orion, now called
'Midnight,' of the Shadow Kingdom, appeared, begging his sisters'
forgiveness, and offering his help on obtaining the Book of Truths, the 
only object with the ability to inform the Senshi on how to acquire
their true senshi forms.

	Seeing his sincerity, Sailor Universe and Sailr Galaxy used
their combined powers to clense his body and power of evil, and he
glady helped them form a plan to infiltrate the Shadow Kingdom, and
steal the Book of Truths.

	The plan was executed perfectly, save for one miscalculation
that cost them energy, and got many of them wounded, including Sailor
Unvierse. But the book was soon in their hands after that one grueling 
battle, and they took it home, and eventually they found the way to
open sixteen portals that would lead them all on indivual quests to
find their Quests for Truth.

	And that, our dear friends, is where our story begins, or
rather, continues...
