SHIN KIDOU SENSO: TSUKI NO WING (New Mobile War: Wing of the Moon) A Sailormoon/Gundamwing crossover by Heero, Duo, ChibiImp,Marj and Fizzy-chan PROLOGUE *** Last year of the Silver Millennium Calendar *** "We're in trouble!! We're in trouble!!" Two cats, one black and one white, both with crescent moons on their foreheads, ran to the center of a grand ballroom with cries of desperate warning. "The Earthen Forces are attacking us!!" the white cat yelled. A woman standing near the throne turned her head to face them, her long white hair swinging behind her. "What?!?" ***** Millions and millions of years ago, long before the known prehistoric age of the Earth, a grand kingdom stood on the surface of the Moon. Under the supreme rule of Queen Serenity of the Moon and the help of the sacred Ginzuishou, the citizens of this great kingdom prospered and its neighboring planetary kingdoms flourished, creating an era of peace known as the Silver Millennium. It was thought that the Silver Millennium would last forever. Unfortunately, fate had decreed a terrible destiny . . . ***** A young princess was flanked by a group of four warriors, the leader almost pulling the princess violently in the rush to get her to safety. "Stay here, Princess!" the orange and white clad warrior said as she pushed the princess inside a room. "But, Venus . . ." "This is for your own safety!" The warriors ran off, leaving a green and white clad warrior behind. She looked sadly at the distressed princess. "Please forgive her rudeness. She's only doing what's right." The princess shook her head. "Don't leave me here! Please! I need to speak to him!" The warrior looked away. "I'm sorry. But at times like this . . . I follow orders coming only from the commander and your mother." "Jupiter!" The warrior pushed the massive door closed, effectively silencing the princess's pleas. ***** One night, a great ball was held on the Sea of Serenity, where the domed Moon Kingdom lay. The citizens of the Moon were so engrossed with the festivities that they failed to notice that they were under attack . . . ***** "We were not ready for this!!" one of the four warriors said, her once red and white fuku now all red with blood - her blood. "Why now?" The leader of the once formidable Sailor Senshi cursed her weakness as she slammed her fist into the ground. "Venus?" the blue and white clad senshi asked weakly, trying to focus her tired eyes on her fellow warrior. "That creature got us with just *one* hit, Mercury!!" the downed senshi whispered angrily in a withdrawn voice. "We're not strong enough! We're not strong enough . . ." Another curse echoed, this time from the green-clad senshi. The four looked up to see their princess and her prince fighting for their lives. ***** Caught unprepared, the Moon Kingdom faced destruction under the hands of an evil entity known as Metallia, who, alongside her regent, Beryl, made the forces of Earth believe that their protectors on the Moon were deceiving them. The people of the earth revolted against the Moon Kingdom, the citizens on the Moon unaware until it was too late. ***** The princess looked on worriedly from her room's terrace, watching as the powerful dark force that overtook them slowly destroyed her mother's kingdom. A woman with long curly red hair suddenly appeared before her, her red eyes gleaming in anger. "So, *you're* Princess Serenity!" The princess gasped. Beryl watched her enemy intently for a moment. She looked very much like a frightened child, which disgusted Beryl further. She raged silently. Her eyes became slightly unfocused as her mind tried to ignore the fact that being unique was not the only thing appealing about the princess . . . she also possessed a certain type of beauty that Beryl could never match . . . "Your beauty disgusts me!!" The evil witch cried out before attacking. A rose disrupted her path before she was able to hurt the princess. She looked up and saw a young, black-haired man covered in Earthen armor. "Endymion!" The prince stood in front of his princess on a terrace, protecting her from the witch that stood before them. "Beryl! You're only being used by Metallia! Wake up! Come to your senses!" Beryl's gaze focused again. "Shut up! Or do you want me to hurt you too?" she threatened . . . . . . a threat which was eventually fulfilled by the evil entity, Metallia. In seconds, the prince was in the air, dragged violently away from his princess. But the young girl refused to be away from her lover as she joined him. "No! Don't come any closer!" the prince shouted. The princess didn't listen. The prince knew that it was hopeless to ask her to go back, so he reached for her hand. The princess managed to touch his hand. The prince smiled sadly and held to her tightly. In a distance, a mother and queen watched as her entire life was taken away from her. ***** With nothing left for her to live for, Queen Serenity sacrificed her life as she used the sacred Ginzuishou to seal the enemy away . . . ***** The queen's body lay on the ruins of the Moon Kingdom, her hand raised in the air. The Ginzuishou rose from her open palm and disappeared. All around her, bodies of those who died in a worthless war rose and floated gently to the forsaken blue planet next to the once magnificent kingdom of the Moon. "On Earth . . . please be happy . . ." Queen Serenity's body grew limp, and she died. ***** Just before her death, Queen Serenity used her remaining strength to send the souls of her daughter, Princess Serenity; her lover, Earthen Prince Endymion; and the respective princesses of each planet to Earth to be reincarnated and given new lives. The two cat ambassadors and advisors to the queen, Luna and Artemis, were placed in a long sleep, to be awakened with a mission when the evil awoke once more. This was all brought about in order to help the souls find the happiness that they were looking for, and to protect mankind from any danger that might arrive. But unknown to both Queen Serenity and Metallia . . . ***** A young nobleman stood at the edge of a small, dome-protected land. Face grim and eyes sad, he stared at the lone satellite of the blue planet, the satellite of his birth, as its majestic kingdom crumbled into ashes. A woman laid a hand on his shoulder, trying to console both of them from the pain of losing their home. "We survived . . . it's a miracle . . ." she said. "The queen has used the sacred Ginzuishou. Somehow, it decided to protect us," the man said, turning his head to face her. "But . . . the Moon Kingdom is gone. We have nowhere to go." The man returned his gaze to the Moon, the woman's gaze following his, as they rested their eyes on their home for the last time. "What do we do now?" ***** A huge piece of Lunar earth from the Sea of Serenity floated endlessly among the debris left by the war, carrying hundreds of survivors from the attack of the Dark Kingdom. Using the resources left to them, they entered what was supposed to be "hibernation" as the mass of earth and rock drifted into unknown space . . . After many millenia, the people reawakened to find themselves in an unfamiliar part of the universe. Now having lost the force that was once known as magic, they were forced to rely on the remaining resource left to them: technology. Harnessing this awesome power, they succeeded in recovering magic in the form of mana and created another homeland, one that was to replace the one they lost. In the span of a decade, the people were able to establish a kingdom that rivaled the Moon Kingdom in terms of prosperity. This kingdom was to be known as the Lunar Kingdom, named in honor of the late Moon Kingdom, and the desolate piece of earth turned into a beautiful city, Lunar II. For hundreds of years, the Lunar Kingdom was hidden from the eyes of evil and came under the rule of descendants believed to be distant relatives of the Moon's Royal Family. Colonies were established in different asteroids surrounding the city, and the people enjoyed peace and prosperity similar to that of the Moon Kingdom. But this second utopia did not last long. Approximately 500 years after its establishment, the rulers of Lunar II, all descendants of the noblemen from the Moon, took the period of prosperity for granted. They became arrogant and abused the powers given to them due to their noble ancestry. For many years, the people suffered under the rule of their harsh leaders, who were very unlike their ancestors, the ones who had originally established the kingdom. ***** After Millennium 0519, Euterpe Colony. . . A middle-aged man looked silently at the other men seated with him around a large, round table in an enormous, domed room within his palace. Having reached a decision, his eyes narrowed as he scanned those who were with him, governors of some of the various colonies that were established by the tyrant monarchy, Lunar II. "We have suffered long enough." Standing up, the middle-aged man addressed those who were seated. "Lunar II has gone far enough with its atrocities. We shall not continue to take this sort of treatment from them!" "Dechem-sama, then, you mean. . ." "Yes," the middle-aged man interrupted. "I am declaring war against the Lunar Kingdom." Some of the other men nodded in approval, while some others grunted their consent, as though it did not matter much to them . . . . . . but Dechem was not fooled. He knew that the governors were simply controlling their reactions, perhaps due to their old age, or for formality's sake, but he knew it was not due to any sort of fear or hesitation. It was no secret that they had long desired a chance for retribution, and were simply waiting for Dechem to give it them. Giving a regal tone to his voice, Dechem continued, "For many years now, we have suffered under the oppressive rule of Lunar II's monarchy. We have stood quietly as they carelessly exhibited their power and conceit at the expense of our people. Shokun, today we will begin to provide a "suitable" response to their tyrannical rule - a response that will lead to their downfall . . ." . . . and eventually, our salvation. It is only a matter of time before our oppressors receive the punishment they deserve. By then, they will learn to cower before us. They will learn the true power of OZ!" At this, the other men seemingly forgot all formalities in their anticipation and enthusiasm at the thought of freedom, as they stood up, applauding. Undisguised awe and respect was evident in their expressions and actions as they turned to the man whom they believed would be the one to lead them on the path of freedom. The middle-aged man smiled in spite of himself. The man laughed. ***** The rulers of Lunar II eventually detected the increase in arms production of the colonies, but by the time they had realized the colonies' intent and decided to strengthen their arsenal, they were already too late. . . ***** A man in his late twenties glanced at his holowatch and leaned back. He was sitting on a bench in a designated waiting area of a hyperlight transport station. Opening his metallic briefcase, he took out a small, circular disc and placed it flat on the palm of his hand. As if alive, the small disc hummed and projected a hologram of the list of available hyperlight transports that could take him home to his colony, Clio. So far, all of them were fully booked. At the thought of food, his stomach grumbled loudly, loud enough for the elderly woman sitting beside him to turn her head and stare at him. Sighing deeply, he stood up to get something to eat. He had not taken more than two steps towards the food dispenser when the ground suddenly shook violently beneath him. The sounds of huge explosions filled the air. Regaining his balance, he looked up just in time to see an enormous, green, piloted robot - a Man Machine, the man deduced - land in the middle of the area. Its pinkish-red mono-eye swept over the crowd as if surveying them. Then, without warning, the green Man Machine raised the machine gun it was carrying and started to fire indiscriminately at the crowd. As the whole area erupted in chaos, the man looked wildly around him for the nearest possible exit, ignoring the panicked people rushing around him. Spotting the red, flashing sign that read "Emergency Transport," he dashed towards it, only to trip over something and fall face-down on the floor. Scrambling to his feet, he gasped. The object that he had tripped over was a body . . . rather, the body of the elderly woman that had been staring at him a few moments ago. Blood covered her face and half her body was missing. Her eyes were staring at the domed ceiling of the transport station, completely devoid of life. For a moment, he could not tear his eyes away from the sight in front of him. Then, he felt the ground shake again and heard the sound of a huge, metallic footstep stopping behind him. Turning around, he saw the green Man Machine, flanked by others like it, its rifle pointing at him. The man closed his eyes. The Man Machine fired . . . . ***** After Millennium year 0524 of the Lunar Kingdom calendar, OZ formally declared war on the unprepared Lunar II. Using brutal tactics and giant humanoid machines known as Man Machines, they had succeeded in capturing almost 65% of the colonies surrounding Lunar II in the first few weeks of battle. Shocked by their casualties, the leaders of Lunar II, having seen the overwhelming might of OZ's Man Machines in comparison to theirs, sent an ambassador in search of help. ***** Neo-Queen Serenity leaned forward on her throne, her hands gripping the arm rests so tightly that her knuckles turned white. "Survivors, you say?" The four warriors in front of her stared at the deliverer of the news, their faces registering shock. Three other warriors watched from a distance. "That's impossible . . ." the black cat beside the queen said softly. "There was no one left . . . only me . . . Artemis . . . the queen . . ." The ambassador shook his head. "It's true. All the people in my land are of Lunarian blood. How would we know of your past if we were not informed by the rich history our ancestors have shared?" "But how . . . ?" The senshi in red asked. Serenity sank back into her chair as she listened to their visitor's story. ***** Several hundred years after the legendary warriors of the solar system, the Sailor Senshi; the crown princess of the Moon Kingdom, Princess Serenity; and the crown prince of Earth, Prince Endymion were reborn on Earth, they were able to establish a second Silver Millennium, with its revolving around its center, Crystal Tokyo. The kingdom was able to prove its strength by surviving two wars spearheaded by the wanted criminal Nemesis during its younger years. Under the rule of Neo-Queen Serenity and her king, Endymion, the citizens of the nine planets of the solar system were once again experiencing a utopia of peace. Lunar II became aware of the rebirth of the famed Silver Millennium when scouts were sent back to the solar system to investigate the remnants of the old kingdom. The ambassador traveled to Earth not only to inform Neo-Queen Serenity about the survivors of the ancient war and of Lunar II, but also to negotiate an alliance. Unfortunately, OZ had also learned of this visit. The leaders of OZ, assuming that Neo-Queen Serenity would ally with the Lunarians due to their blood relations, hatched a bold plan to eliminate their would-be enemies. The operation's code name . . . "Operation Meteor" . . . Author's Notes: Marj: Before anything else, I want to put this down before we forget . . .
