bobbymg@aol.com (BobbyMG) Sailormoon Apocalypse Episode #1 Genesis: The Coming of the Abyss "AAAGGHHHHHH!," Usagi screamed as she looked at the clock that rested upon her night stand. "LUNA, why didn't you wake me up!," Usagi screeched at the napping cat that lay beside her. "I did twice but you wouldn't get up, you'd just moan and throw a pillow at me," Luna quickly snapped back. "WELL YOU SHOULD HAVE TRIED HARDER!!," Usagi yelled violently at Luna as she speedily threw on her new school uniform. Usagi then grabbed her bookbag and ran out into the streets heading for school like a madwoman. As she turned the corner she ran "smack" into a grey-haired girl. Both Usagi and the girl fell to the ground books and papers scattered upon the concrete sidewalk. As Usagi slowly regained her composure, she slowly examined the girl. She was very beautiful with a sense of love that seemed to float around her. She had grey-hair, styled into one odango that was held firmly on top-back portion of her head. From the odango a long ponytail fell down to her hips. Grey bangs fell over her face almost hiding her Blue-grey eyes. As Usagi stood up, the other girl began to pick up her books and papers. Usagi bent down and began to help her. " I'm really sorry I didn't mean to run into you," Usagi apologized. " It's okay as long as you didn't mean to," The girl said kindly," by the way I'm Kaze Arai (<note when I introduce some characters I will use japanese style, last name first then first name.<2nd note Arai means strong and kaze means wind so otherwise her name means Strong wind> I go to school at Sakura High School (Sakura means Cherry Blossom, So she goes to Cherry Blossom High School) ," Arai announced proudly. "Oh well, I go to Juuban High School and I am Tsukino Usagi and I am running late so maybe I'll see you around," Usagi replied as she this time started to jog to school. Usagi waved to Arai one last time before crossing the street. She was too far away now to hear Arai's response, " Sooner than you you think....." * * * * * * * * * * * Usagi slowly walked down the steps of Juuban High School. She had just left detention for being late and had just gotten her report card ( I guess I don't have to say it was a bad one). Now she was heading toward Rei's temple to meet all the other girls. As Usagi steadily made her way toward Rei's temple she didn't notice someone watching her. Not from a few blocks away but from a few dimensions away from a glowing orb within the chamber of a young princess, a princess of pure evil. But the princess is not alone there is another hidden in the shadows, someone of equal evil. " My Princess, you summoned me," the figure said as he emerged from the shadows. He was a handsome man with long white hair. He wore an ice blue pants and an ice blue vest but hanging from two dark blue shoulder pads was a waist-length dark blue cape. Upon his forhead was a black circle and just below that his ice blue intensly gazed at the princess. "Yes, I have summoned you for your .... special talents," the princess was also a stunning sight to see with long, black hair traveling down to her ankles. Her hair was tied into one long ponytail that was bonded together with sickly green ribbon after incriments of about a foot. ( think of a long ponytail with several scrunchies holding it together ) Her long dark green gown contrasted with her pale white skin. Her eyes glowed with an orange-light making it impossible to find what her eye color really was. " I would like you to take the energy from this girl and anyone else around her. We greatly need energy if I am to enact my plans. Got it Polar?" the princess said. "Yes, your majesty I do," Polar answered. "Good, because believe me if you fail you will be severaly punished. Do I make myself clear?" the princess demanded. "Yes, Princess Selene I will not fail you. But may I ask permission to use one of the Star Clan Warriors to aide me in my mission," Polar asked. " You may take Sirius and Pollux but remember my words. Now be gone," Selene waves her hand and a black mist envelopes Polar and he disappears. Selene rises from her ebony throne, her sickishly green dress dragged behing her as she enters the shadows of her chamber. Waving her hand once again, a dark mist silently shaped itself into a large circular portal of darkness. She steps through into the swirling portal and steps out into a secret chamber within her chamber. Inside, two anntenae looking things stick up from the ground, a similar black circular mist swirls in mid-air. Fog hugged the ground and the stench of death clung to the air. Selene approached the mist, and knelt before it's gaseus center. Raising her head to the portal, with a smirk that could kill, she whispered softly," Soon mother.....soon." * * * * * * * * * * Polar appeared within the halls of StarClanWarriors after brief swirl of black mist. But he did not immediatly head toward the dormatory of Sirius and Pullox. Instead he concentrated upon himself, concentrated on the evil within him. A blast of dark purple energy erupted form deep within making his evil aura visible. He raised his hand into the sky. His dark purple aura seemed to respond by condensing itself above his open palm. The auratic energy shaped itself into an orb the size of a head. It hovered there for a moments seemingly waiting for it's next command. Polar spoke,"Dark aura of myself, I call upon the power of Dark Ice... Hear me... come FORTH!" The orb erupted with energy. Dark purple waves of energy continously shot out. The orb shook and pulsated. It's color slowly changed from purple to black. As abruptly as it had began to pulsate it stopped. Waves of black energy streamed forth washing over Polar giving him brief feelings of warth and ecstasy. The orb's black energy announced itself," I am the embodement of Ice. Child of darkness.. I am the power of dark ice. Polar, why have you summoned me here." "I have summoned you for your ability to see the present, future, and past. Answer my question," Polar said, confidently. "What do you wish to know?" the orb asked. " I wished to know why Selene wants the energy of this girl?" Polar created a hologram of Usagi still walking toward Rei's temple." Also what is to happen in this plan of Selene's in the future?" The began to pulsate once again, it's black waves of energy becoming increasingly stronger. Then it spoke it's answer and prophecy. "The Dark Lady wishes to contain the reflection of the light to return the abyss to life. Using the light and the Sisters of the celestial key to call upon the infinite power of the Star crystal. So begins my prophesy: When the moon disappears from the sky and when the meteors fall upon the celestial key to protect it, the scales of libra will change. The light will fall into darkness, the sisters will fade, the meteors will be forced to strike the celestial key and the abyss will come. But a ray of hope still shines within the ice-morphed Key, and a light-formed meteor will come from space. Then the sisters will shine once more and the moon's light will once again return to face the darkened meteors and the abyss. When the Meteors change their colors, the seach for the Star will become a quest for survival, for the Abyss will swallow the key." The orb finished it's prophesy. "What?! I don't understand this doesn't make any sense. Explain.," Polar Demanded. "You must learn the answers yourself. But remember this you are the k...e............y......" The orb faded from Polar's hand. Leaving him with many Questions still unanswered and a deadly prophesy waiting to be fullfilled. TO BE CONTINUED....... In Episode #2: Apocalyptic Greetings
