On the beginning of time, the Universe was controlled by an entity known as Eternity, Eternity created the galaxies and the stars, but after thousands of years he decided that his job was over, before he disappeared from the Universe he gave the control of it to his 3 daughters, Metalia, the oldest became the Queen of Iris on the far side of the Universe, her sister Beryl became the Queen of Axxon and the youngest Selene, became the Queen of the Moon. They reigned peacefully for a thousand years.

Somehow evil started to cloud Metalia's understanding, she started to build armies and use dark powers to create monsters. She felt jealous of Selene and convinced her sister Beryl to help her destroy Selene's kingdom. Selene defended herself and created an army to help free her sisters from evil. This army was known as the Sailor Senshi. After a lot of fighting the war was destroying the Universe and that's when Selene realized that she couldn't help her sisters, so, she decided that the only choice she had of saving the Universe was to trap her evil sisters and army in another dimension. She finally succeeded and created a Seal that would protect this Universe from their evil; that was known as the War of the Universes

A thousand years passed since that fateful war. Selene's granddaughter Serenity was the new ruler of the Moon kingdom, she ruled with great kindness but today something was about to go wrong...

[OP]

Endymion woke up very early and went to his brother's room, as he walked down the hall he saw him going out.

Endymion: Akira!!

Akira: Good morning Endymion, ready for class?

Endymion: I still don't know why do you make me go to this class anyway!, you are the one going to become the prince, I don't have to study all this.

Akira: Come on, you are a prince too, you need to learn this stuff.

Endymion: Liar, you just don't want to take the classes alone.

Akira: O.K., you got me. Let's go, I don't want to be late again.

Akira and Endymion walked outside the castle and walked to class. The arrived at a big building and were about to enter the classroom.

Girl: Hi Akira, hi Endymion.

Akira: Hotaru, how nice to see you around here.

Endymion: Hi, Hotaru!.

Hotaru(about 20 years old): He still makes you come here every day.

Endymion: Yes, he wants me to suffer with him.

Akira: Come on, you are the only one who enjoys this classes.

Endymion: Just...I'll wait you inside.

Hotaru: You are just different sides of the same coin.

Akira: So, what brings you here?

Hotaru: What, I can't see my boyfriend from time to time?

Akira (laughing): Really, what brings you here?

Hotaru: Don't you remember, tomorrow is the Great Dance at the Moon Palace.

Akira: I forgot completely.

Hotaru: Well, I'm here to remind you, I don't want to go alone.

Akira: I'll be there.

Hotaru: Well, bye.

Akira kisses Hotaru. Akira enters the classroom as Hotaru leaves.

Teacher: Finally we can begin, Well, as I was saying yesterday. Earth is divided in several kingdoms, the main kingdom is named Atlantis and it is the home of the king of Earth. The continents are: Atlantis( in the center of the Atlantic Ocean), Elcid (today North America),Sundletia (South America), Tanbel (Africa), Merix (Europe an part of Asia), Ferim (Asia) and Portravia (Australia and islands of the Pacific).

Our main mean of transportation is a ray of light, it can move people from one planet to another in just a couple of seconds.

Teacher continues indistinct.

(INTERLUDE)

This technology was not from Earth but from an immense an beautiful kingdom that made Earth a double planet, The Moon Kingdom ruled by Queen Serenity and King Veridion.

The Moon was a planet filled with plants and animals of great beauty and an exceptional tranquillity.

In the place that now is called "The Tranquillity Sea", the Millennium Palace was made, it was called like this because of the Planet Organization known as "The Silver Millennium" that reunited the Solar System and other galaxies as well.

The Silver Millennium was ruled by Queen Serenity (The queen of the Moon) and all the planets in the universe lived in peace and harmony.

Every year there was a big party at the Millennium Palace where the courts of each planet assisted; this made their relationship even closer.

(END OF INTERLUDE)

Endymion: What I still don't understand is why do we have starship fighters and monitors, there hasn't been any disturbances in almost a thousand years.

Teacher: Well, there is a saying, you can never be sure about the future, if you remember your history class you will certainly remember the war of the universes; hey, look at the time!, I am going to be late for my class on the moon. If you excuse me, I have to leave immediately.

Akira: Good bye.

Endymion: And thank you.

Later that day Endymion and Akira went to the dance at the Moon Palace. Among the persons in the party there were the Moon Princess Usagi (Serena), and the princesses of each planet on the solar system, Ami (Amy) from Mercury; Minako (Mina) from Venus; Rei (Raye) from Mars; Makoto (Lita) from Jupiter; Haruka from Uranus, Michiru from Neptune, and Hotaru from Saturn.

Everybody was wearing a mask, Akira was in a white tuxedo and a black mask and Endymion was wearing a black tuxedo with a white mask.

**(scene description: A big dance with a lot of people)**

Akira: So, are you going to look for Usagi?

Endymion: Yes.

Hotaru walks to Akira and Endymion.

Hotaru: Wow, You made it.

Akira: You doubted it?

Endymion: Hi Hotaru!.

Hotaru: I see you are still opposite sides of the same coin.

Akira: You mean the tuxedos?

Hotaru: Yes, exactly the opposite colors, black and white.

Endymion: I really didn't notice.

Endymion talks with Hotaru for a while (continues indistinct)

Akira: Well Endymion, aren't you going to look for Usagi?......

Endymion: Yes, I'm going in a minute, As I was saying Hotaru... (Continues indistinct)

Akira(After a while): So, what are you waiting for?

Endymion: Yeah..., right...I'm talking here!!

Akira: I can tell you, she doesn't want to know anything else about my childhood!!

Endymion: All right!!, I'm going!!, Good bye Hotaru.

Akira: Leave!!.

Hotaru(in a distinctive tone): You were such a cute kid.

Endymion walks to Usagi.

Endymion: May I have this dance with you princess?

Usagi: Hum.....Hum..... ok!!.

(Change scene: now they are dancing)

Endymion: It's been quite a while.

Usagi: Yes, but I knew you would come.

Endymion: I had to come dance with my girlfriend.

Usagi: You are so sweet, and I have to tell you, you are a great dancer, I could be hours here.

Endymion: I think the same about you, I am happy just seeing you happy.

After the dance, they walked to the main balcony and watched Earth from there.

Endymion: Have you ever dreamed about the future Usagi?, I do not mean the immediate future, but in thousands of years..., I just read yesterday about a kingdom just like ours that was filled with evil and that it is sealed by a barrier near Pluto, I just keep wondering what would happen if the portal opened?

Usagi: What is wrong Endymion?, suddenly you seem to be very worried, I don't recall ever hearing about portals and seals or anything like that.

Endymion: It is nothing, since Mother passed away I keep having this weird nightmares, but forget about it, I didn't mean to frighten you, it is only a silly thing.

Usagi: I know that if anything went wrong you would rescue me.

Endymion: Of course, I would do anything for the one I love, (Endymion takes a rose from his pocket and gives it to Usagi) I would never let anyone hurt you. Now, how about if we go to skate a while.

Usagi (taking the rose): That would be just great.

(They step out of the scene)

(INTERLUDE 2)

The Moon kingdom was a very fun and happy place, all the people in the Silver Millennium went to the Moon to dance, skate or just walk around the beautiful gardens in the palace. The princesses of the inner planets lived inside the palace and the princesses from the outer planets lived in the palace of Saturn except for Pluto that guarded the gate of time, the seal from the Negaverse and was also the only one allowed to be a Sailor Senshi.

But as long as there is good, there will always be evil, and the evil part of this universe was an alternate dimension called the "Negaverse", that was ruled by Queen Metalia (who was in a cocoon because of the battle between the universes 1000 years before) and by her sister Queen Beryl.

(END OF INTERLUDE 2)

That day Queen Beryl was watching the Millennium from her crystal ball looking for a way to escape that dimension and accomplish the destruction of the Moon Kingdom.

Beryl: First the Moon shall be mine, then the Universe, ha, ha, ha.

Then she saw a man that attracted her, this man was Endymion, so she decided that she would find an entrance to the Universe and rule it with Prince Endymion as her King.

Beryl: How can I get out of here?, Metalia my sister, do you know?

Metalia: Every 75 years there is a comet that passes near Pluto's seal, this debilitates it and today is that day. The gate will only open a little, so you need to send someone to gather the energy to open the gate and free me from this cocoon.

Beryl: Ah, I will send my most faithful warrior, Dissaight come here.

A tall young man with light blue hair and a black armor appears in front of Beryl.

Dissaight: Yes my queen.

Beryl: I will give you a very important mission, you will infiltrate the Silver Millennium and gather the energy we need to open the gate.

Dissaight: Yes my queen, I will accomplish my mission successfully.

That night Dissaight passed trough the barrier. Inside the Seal palace Sailor Pluto was studying the Gate of time.

Pluto: I can see a disturbance in the balance of time, I don't know what is it, there is so much I do not know yet. ( there was a loud noise) What was that noise?.

Pluto turned around and saw Dissaight.

Pluto: Who are you?.

Dissaight: You don't remember me?, I am the "accident" that killed your sister.

Pluto: You are...

Dissaight: Yes, I am Dissaight, I will complete the mission that your sister stopped, I knew you would become as meddling as her, I should've killed you then.

Pluto : You fiend!!, the powers of death shall destroy you...DEAD SCREAM!!!

Dissaight: Ah, such rage, it is just what I need, I gain powers from the rage of my enemies, you just made me more powerful...DARK ILLUSION FREEZE!!!.

A black cloud entangles Sailor Pluto, after a while the cloud becomes a crystal trapping her.

Dissaight: You will make a great trophy, and the better part is that you will still be alive inside the crystal.

Dissaight left the castle and went to Pluto's Palace.

Guard: Stop right there!!.

Dissaight: You insignificant human, you dare try to stop me?...Dark Entangle!!!.

The guard disappears

Dissaight: This pesky guards!.

Dissaight gets to the throne room disappearing all the guards that tried to stop him. Until he finally gets to the throne room.

King: Who is it?.

Dissaight ( the king can't see his face): I am the shadow of destruction, (Dissaight takes his sword out) And this is the Dark Sword that will free my kingdom.

King: Dissaight!!.

Dissaight(stepping out of the shadow): Master, I came back to show you true power.

King: You can kill me, but the Millennium Knights will stop you.

Dissaight: No one can stop true evil, no one's heart is that pure, but that is enough chat, now you will die in the name of the Negaverse...Darkness Sword!!!

At that moment a guard steps into the room, he sees Dissaight disappear the king and runs away, he runs to the communications port.

Guard: Anyone, this is Guard 75 on comm. port 1365, we are under attack!!...
