The next day, in the west gardens.
Serenity: Good afternoon young ladies!
All: Good afternoon!
Serenity: I thank you all for coming, you are probably wondering the reason for being here, but before I tell you I would like to know you better.
Ami: My name is Mizuno Ami, I am the princess of Mercury, I was born on the 19th day of the Virgo constellation and my favorite color is aquamarine.
Rei: My name is Hino Rei, I am the princess of Mars, I was born on the 17th day of the Aries constellation and my favorite colors are red and black.
Minako: My name is Aino Minako, I am the princess of Venus, I was born between the Libra and Scorpio constellations and my favorite colors are yellow and red.
Mako: My name is Kino Makoto, I am the princess of Jupiter, I was born on the 14th day of the Capricorn constellation and my favorite color is pink, although I also kinda like green.
Usagi: And my name is Tsukino Usagi, I am the princess of the Moon, I was born on the last day of the Cancer constellation and my favorite color is white.
Serenity(She takes out a heart shaped locket and as she speaks some images appear from it like a projector): You are princesses from the Inner Planets of this Solar System, your families have ruled their respective planets with kindness and good will, you were born in a Universe free of evil, a Universe that according to the legends you heard was freed by my grandmother Queen Selene a thousand years ago.
Minako: So, there really was a dark half of this Universe.
Mako: I remember my mother telling me that legend a long time ago, but I thought it was only a story for kids.
Serenity: The legend is true, but it was so long ago that everybody forgot about it. I learned that the story was real when the seal broke ten years ago and the Negaverse tried to escape, Meiou Katsumi the old Sailor Pluto, Sailor Earth and me tried to stop them, I guarded the Moon Palace while Pluto managed to close the Seal but died after a big explosion occurred and Sailor Earth disappeared when guarding the Alliance Castle, after that tragic accident Pluto's sister became the new senshi.
Usagi: But what does it have to do with the attacks and disappearances on various planets.
Serenity: When Katsumi died her sister Setsuna became the new Sailor Pluto, she learned how to use the Time Gate but she did not know anything about the Seal, then a week ago a comet passed near Pluto, I guess the energy of the comet fractured the Seal and some of the Negaverse's minions escaped, they could have caught Sailor Pluto by surprise and then tried to eliminate the Kings to break the Seal.
Mako: I still don't understand where do we fit in.
Serenity: If what I think is true, the only way to stop the Negaverse from escaping is by creating an army like the one my grandmother did; The only way to stop it is by reviving the Sailor Senshi.
Rei: You mean there were other Sailor Senshi besides Pluto?.
Serenity: Yes, every planet had their own Sailor Senshi for protection against the Negaverse, but since it was vanquished to another dimension they were no longer necessary.
Minako: So, what you are trying to say is that...
Serenity: Yes, you are going to be the new Sailor Senshi, like your grandmothers were a long time ago.
Usagi: Great, we will all be Sailor Senshi!!
Serenity: Unfortunately my child you are not a Senshi, there has only been 5 defendants of the inner planets, each representing one of them, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Earth, the Moon was protected by Selene but unfortunately when you touched the locket it did not react, that means you do not have the Moon Power.
Usagi: But there is no Earth princess, Endymion does not have sisters.
Serenity: He had one once, but the Negaverse kidnapped her when the Seal opened for the second time several years ago. I am sorry Usagi but as the Moon princess you have to remain in the castle.
Usagi: I guess there is nothing I could do about that, but at least would you let me train with the princesses?
Serenity: I was about to ask you that, it might come in handy someday. Luna, please give me the transformation pens.
(Luna jumped high and the pens appeared (just like in the TV show))
Now I will give each one of you a transformation pen depending on the planet you represent. Ami, you are now Sailor Mercury and will have control over water. Minako, you will be Sailor Venus and will have control over light. Rei, you will become Sailor Mars and will have control of fire and Makoto, you as Sailor Jupiter will control Thunder. To transform, call upon the power of your planets.
Ami: Mercury power make up!!!
Minako: Venus power make up!!!
Rei: Mars power make up!!!
Mako: Jupiter power make up!!!
They all transformed into the Sailor Senshi.
Mars: We can begin our training now, what do we do Queen Serenity?
Serenity: You have to follow your own path to discover the power within you, I can not help you any further; but I know you will find out very soon. One last thing, you have to train on Mars since this is a dangerous place and if the youma discovers you our plan will be over.
Serenity left the garden and all the girls gathered to talk along with Luna and Artemis, while Usagi practiced some karate kicks away from them.
Mercury: I can't see any logical path to follow, we can't train by ourselves without knowing anything about our powers.
Luna: That is because you have to follow your heart and your instincts, there is no scientific way to do or reason it.
Artemis: You have to discover your own powers by yourselves, that is why Queen Serenity can't help you.
Minako: Usagi doesn't have a transformation pen but still she is trying to train with us even when she knows she is not a Senshi, she puts all her heart in finding any special skill that might be helpful. Maybe that is what we have to do, find a way to develop our powers and give 100% of ourselves to find them.
Ami: We have to follow Usagi's example and put all of our heart into finding our hidden powers.
Mako: I feel sorry for Usagi, she really wants to help us.
Ami: We can let her be our trainer, our leader of sorts.
At that time Usagi gives a bad kick and falls to the floor.
Rei: That clumsy girl????, we need to train, not kill ourselves!!
Minako: Don't be harsh on her, she only wants to help us, let's, at least, make her feel that she can be helpful.
Rei: Ok but I still think making her our leader even if it is only in training is not a very good idea!.
Mako: I'll go tell her.
Mako walks to Usagi and helps her up.
Usagi: Thank you!
Mako: The girls were just talking and we decided that since you are already training you might as well join us, maybe as our training leader.
Usagi: You really mean it!!!, wow, I guess the first thing we have to do is go to Mars and practice some karate attacks.
All: (Rei says it in a unanimated tone): Well, let's go.
