One year ago today: "Papa no, no you can't send me away! Setsuna started it!" Setsami pleaded with
her father---the King of Pluto.
   "Setsami, you used your key and the forbidden attack on your sister and stole a power you were
not yet ready to receive. You broke a sacred law, it is only to be used against evil whilst protecting
the Moon Princess, now you must be bannished!"
   "No Papa no-o-o-o-o-o-o!" Setsami cried as she was trapped in a ball of red light and thrown into
space. "I'll get you Setsuna and everything that should be mine, I'll have my revenge!"
She was gone, and the Pluto Kingdom was left in silence.

   "Wow Mamo-chan that teddy bear is so cute, isn't it cute?!" Usagi jumped up and down in
excitement.
Mamoru looked at the teddy bear Usagi was refering to, it was a big honey-coloured teddy bear
with a red ribbon tied in a bow around its neck and a heart in its paws. "Yeah it is."
   "Usagi! Usagi!"
A female voice from behind Usagi rang out of the crowd. Usagi turned around, trying to see through
the crowd for who was calling her name. She saw who it was.
   "Hey Ami, what's up?" Usagi asked, with both excitement and alarm in her voice. Her stance was
nonchalant, showing Ami she was not going to move without a good reason to do so.
Panting for breath, Ami leaned over onto Usagi. "It's Chibi-Usa, she's in trouble, the Negaverse has
her," Ami managed to force the words out, but queitly so the whole theme park didn't hear her.
Mamoru, (who had been practicing his aim on the knock over the milk bottles and win a prize game,
trying to win Usagi the teddy bear which she thought was cute), overheard the news Ami had.
   "Chibi-Usa's in trouble?" he asked.
Ami nodded. "Yes the others are waiting for us," she started to run off.
Mamoru began to follow when the guy from the game called after him. "Hey mister, don't you want
your teddy bear?"
Turning red, Mamoru grabbed the teddy bear and handed it to Usagi. "Here you go Odango-Atama."
   "Hey thanks Mamo-chan!" Usagi was just about to offer Mamoru a kiss when he took her by the
hand and ran after Ami.
   "Mamo-chan, wait up! I can't run. . .this. . .much!"
Even though she was out of breath, Usagi stayed close behind, only because she refused to let her
hand slip away from Mamoru's.
"Chibi-Usa, we're coming, whoever has you is Moon Dusted!" Usagi thought to herself as she ran.

Finally coming to a stop, Usagi was able to catch her breath, looking up to see what was causing the
shadow they had stopped under, she realised it was the Tokyo Starlight Tower. The last time she
had been there was when she had nearly lost Mamoru to Zoicite's power and had ended up losing
him to the Negaverse. On that same afternoon, she had found out she was Princess Serenity---the
Moon Princess.
She turned to Ami, "Ami-chan, why are we here?!" Usagi asked, shifting her attention from the
Tower to Ami.
   "This is where Chibi-Usa's energy was released from, we have to get in somehow!"
   "If Chibi-Usa's in trouble, then there's no time to lose! This calls for Sailor Moon!" She held up
her locket, "Moon Cosmic Power, make-up!"
Ami lifted her hand and yelled: "Mercury Star Power, make-up!" and transformed into Sailor
Mercury.
Mamoru transformed into Tuxedo Kamen using a rose.
Just as Usagi had finished transforming into Sailor Moon, the other Senshi and Sailor Pluto arrived
on the scene.
Sailor Mercury examined the entance with her viser and hand-held computer. "There seems to be a
purple-black fog coming from the otherside of this door, what it is, I can't compute."
Sailor Mars stepped forward, "stand back, I'll burn it out!" She tried her Burning Mandala but
nothing happened. Sailor Jupiter tried her Supreme Thunder Dragon, with the attack the door
crashed open.

Getting to the top floor, the Senshi found Chibi-Usa huddled in a corner, beside her was big black
hole, and a girl in a black and purple Sailor uniform stood near it, holding a big key like Sailor
Pluto's.
Sailor Moon looked from the Sailor in front of her to Sailor Pluto. "Hey how can you be there and
here?"
Sailor Pluto looked at the new Sailor. "I don't believe it! It's my sister Setsami, but in a Sailor
Senshi Uniform?"
   "You're right sister," the new Sailor walked over to the Senshi. "It's been along time, but now I'm
known as Sailor Andromida---the Sailor Senshi of Negatime! And I've came to do what Queen Beryl
and Wiseman couldn't do. . .get rid of the Moon Princess, and this little rabbit---" She gestured to
Chibi-Usa, "will tell me where the first Princess of the Moon is, once of got rid of her, this little
rabbit won't exist, and the same goes for Crystal Tokyo!"
Producing her key, she held it up, seeing the look Sailor Pluto gave to her, she spat, "yes sister, I
have one too!" She raised it high then span around with it, yelling, "Andromida Mistifier!"
A dark mist clouded the room.
Frighten, Chibi-Usa began to cry. "Mummy! I want my mummy! Sailor Moon, help me!"
   "I'm right here Chibi Usa-chan," Sailor Moon put a hand on her shoulder.
   "Sailor Moon, use your Moon Scepter to get us out of here," Tuxedo Kamen yelled out into the
haze.
   "Right!" Just as Sailor Moon was about to unleash the power of her Scepter, it was knocked out
of her hand.
   "You won't be needing that now pretty Princess, or shall I say Neo-Queen Serenity? Your
Odango-Atama hairstyle is a dead give away who you are!" Sailor Andromida kicked it away from
both Chibi-Usa and Sailor Moon. "You're coming with me, into Negatime!" Laughing, Sailor
Andromida, broke Sailor Moon's hold on Chibi-Usa and pushed her into a black hole. The Ginzuishou
in her heart locket gave a tiny burst of light, destroying the mist caused by Sailor Andromida, and
in seconds, both Sailor Andromida and Sailor Moon were gone.
   "Sailor Mo-o-o-o-o-n!" Chibi-Usa cried out, as she ran toward the closing black hole, but she was
pulled back by Tuxedo Kamen.

                                *      *      *      *

Blinking, Usagi looked around, taking in her surroundings, her eyes growing wide and watery, she
felt scared.
   "Mamo-chan?" she spoke softly, she wanted him to hold her, to comfort her. She felt like a
startled rabbit, or at least a scared one, trying to get away from the hunter. "Mamo-chan?!" She
cried out, but she got no reply. Sitting there on the cold hard, black marble floor, she brought her
knees up and hugged them, crying.
It was then that she realised she wasn't sobbing into her Sailor Senshi uniform, but into a long
white dress, she had somehow been transformed into her princess state. Wipping away her tears,
she stood up, "this is no way to act like a princess Usagi, what would Mamoru think of it?!" her
conscience spoke to her.
A female voice rang out from the darkness, as a girl stepped forth. "Now Princess Serenity, it's
time you joined the winning side---the Negaverse!" Giving a laugh the girl held out a garnet orb and
moved her hand over it, a purple-black mist, like the one in the Starlight Tower swirled out and
toward Princess Serenity.
   "Wh. . .wh. . .who are you?" Princess Serenity stuttered in a frightened voice, she wanted to fight
her, but she didn't know who the girl was, only that she was part of the Negaverse.
   "It doesn't matter who I am, but we have met before, and now you shall join me in all the glory of
ruling the Universe as part of the Negaverse!"
Princess Serenity searched for her crescent moon wand with her silver crystal, "My wand, I've lost
it, and the Ginzuishou too!"
Unable to fight, Princess Serenity fainted.

                                *      *      *      *

The walk home was a long one, longer than usual, there was no Usagi being cheerful about
moondusting the Negaverse character, no Usagi wanting to get a burger or ice cream and no Usagi
for Rei or Mamoru to call Odango-Atama again.
Giving a heavy sigh Mamoru looked back at the Starlight Tower, it stood there in silence and
innocence, as if nothing had happened, but it had and it mocked them for not trying to rescue their
beloved and lost Sailor Moon.
   "I'll find away to bring you back Usako, I promise!" Mamoru uttered under his breath.

Setsami was standing over Princess Serenity who was laying in what Setsami had always thought of
as a coffin, her memories of the love for Mamoru, her Sailor Senshi friends and Chibi-Usa as well
as the three cats: Luna, Artemis and Diana, all being replaced by hatred and having no knowledge of
anything but the world of the Negaverse, in which she was Nega-Princess of. It was a plan she had
thought of, a plan in which would destroy the Sailor Senshi and the future Crystal Tokyo, and the
hypnotic state of Princess Serenity was almost complete, but the only draw-back in the plan was the
Ginzuishou, which had been lost in the transportation of bringing Princess Serenity into the
Negaverse. It was the only thing that could ruin her plan and make Princess Serenity cross back to
the world she loved and knew.
Setsami decided to deal with that problem when and if she came to it.
She continued watching Princess Serenity have Nega energy placed into her.

Back on Earth, Rei tried doing a fire reading to find out where Usagi was, but the fire told her
nothing. "Wherever Usagi-chan was taken to by the Negaverse, it's not on Earth."
   "Maybe she was taken to my sister's planet--Andromida," Setsuna replied.
Ami, who was busy on her computer spoke up, "but Andromida isn't in our solar system and I've
never heard of it before today."
Makoto and Minako looked at each other, then at Luna who was looking out the window. "Luna,"
Makoto called, "have you ever heard of the planet Andromida?"
Luna had been watching Artemis train Diana to be a guardian cat, but now with the destraction by
Makoto, she pounced off the chair she had been sitting on, and over to the girls. "I've only heard of
it through a legend, but I never really believed it, it is said that it was once part of the Moon
Kingdom, but was pulled into a black hole---known as the horse head, the planet being lost, became
part of the Negaverse and was ruled by Queen Beryl, Queen Serenity always feared that one day
something like this would happen to her daughter, so she never let anyone near the horse head and
Princess Serenity always had to be watched in case the Negaverse came after her."
   "And now Sailor Andromida has her," Minako sighed heavily.
   "My sister's going to pay for what she's done!" Setsuna yelled angrily.

Watching the crescent moon rise over the ocean, Mamoru couldn't help but think of Usagi and how
much he missed her, even if she was a total klutz, but she was his klutz. 
"If only I hadn't been so mean to her all the time, if only I stopped that Nega Sailor from taking
her. If only. . ." Mamoru mentally kicked himself, if only's weren't going to do anything to change
the past or bring his beloved Princess back. He crushed a rose in his hand and dropped it over his
balcony, he longed to have her back and kiss her, but he didn't know how to get her back or where
she was.
   "Usako. . ." he whispered to the moon, then looking up at the moon, he prayed, "Queen Serenity,
help me free Usako from the Negaverse, please help me. . ."
With unshed tears in his eyes, Mamoru turned back to the glass doors to his apartment and went
inside to sleep and dream of Usagi.
