Chapter 1: The Awakening of The Twins of Saturn
All seems peaceful, the light shimmering off of the rings of Saturn make a dazzling sight. Suddenly, from the void, a pulse of energy appears. The pulse heads directly for the rings of Saturn. Striking the rings the energy dissipates in a destructive fury. On opposite sides of the rings two separate blocks of ice shatter freeing their prisoners.
The first figure is a young man in his mid to late teens. The figure at first shows no signs of life, but that changes quickly as he begins to stir. Looking around the figure takes in his surroundings.
Free at last! the young man known as Enmity exclaims to the darkness. He smiles evilly as he begins to take in his situation. I knew this prison that Queen Serenity put us in would not hold me forever. Enmity looks over his surroundings as he floats over the rings of Saturn. He seems to be looking for something, or someone. I do not see my dear sister, he said under his breath. Oh well, I do not need her to exact my revenge, and besides, it was her soft heart that put us here to begin with.
Looking at the stars, and their positions Enmity becomes puzzled. I wonder, how long have I been sleeping? No matter, I will travel to the Moon Kingdom, and who ever is still there will pay a terrible price.
Enmity raised his hand and created a dimensional portal. To the Moon Kingdom! And my revenge! He enters the portal to start his journey to the Moon, and his revenge.
*******************************************************************************
Meanwhile on the other end of the rings of Saturn another figure starts to stir. She has also just been released from her icy prison by the mysterious beam of energy. She is also in her mid to late teens. She looks around, and a bewildered look comes across her face. Where am I, Who am I? She asked herself. You have awakened Eternal Warrior Faithfullove a familiar voice called out.
Jumping at the sound of the voice she turns to see a translucent figure that bears a striking resemblance to Queen Serenity.
Who, who are you? She asked the figure before her. The woman who floats before her smiles. I am the spirit of Queen Serenity. I'm the one who allowed you and your brother to be imprisoned here. A great sadness falls across her face as she remembers what took place so long ago. Suddenly her image starts to fade in and out. Faithfullove reaches toward the fading Queen. Why? I don't understand what is going on, asked Faithfullove, obviously confused. My brother, Where is he?!.
The Queen's image smiled, always full of questions Faithfullove, You have not changed a bit. I do not have much time, but I'll tell you as much as possible. I regrettably allowed you and your brother to be imprisoned here at the end of a terrible war in which almost all were lost. You and your brother were created from the soul of the fallen Sailor Saturn when she was hit by a mysterious energy wave. Both of you had powers as great as her's, but at that time you did not have the understanding to control them, and we did not have the ability to train you. We would not have survived if you or your brother's powers went out of control. So for the good of the Moon Kingdom you both were imprisoned here.
The Queen looks saddened by remembering what she had allowed. I am truly sorry for that and only hope you can forgive me. The mysterious energy wave that I mentioned before just appeared again and freed both of you. That's why I am here, to advise you on your next step.
Where is my brother now? Faithfullove asked. the Queen looks up, knowing that the information on her brother might ruin what she has in store for Faithfullove. Your brother unlike you has awakened with a fury, and vengeance. He seeks to destroy the New Silver Millennium.
Faithfullove, now looking bewildered speaks. And you want me to do what? You Eternal Warrior Faithfullove are the only senshi with the power to stop Enmity. You have the true power of hope. Hope?! she spat, frustration in her voice. How can I have hope when I have nothing at stake. I don't understand any of this. You lock my brother and me up, then because of some fluke accident we are released, and now you want me to stop him from taking out his anger on your family?!
Faithfullove ponders the situation for a moment. This makes no sense, she finally says. Even if it did why would I help you? Serenity looked into Faithfullove's eyes trying to read her emotions. I know this is hard to fathom, I ask that you just trust me. I am not deceiving you. There is a higher force here at work and if Enmity succeeds in his anger, everyone's lives, even yours, will be at stake. In order for any of you to survive you must find the Phantom Warrior and she will know what to do, she is the key.
Faithfullove puts her hands to her head. I am so confused, I feel another power besides my brother that is derived from Saturn. She looks up at the Queen. Can you explain this? The Queen sighs, she realizes she should have had this talk with Faithfullove long ago. You and your brother are two halves of what was once the Soldier of Hope and Destruction, Sailor Saturn. When she gave her life 3000 years ago, her spirit began to reform just as the phoenix reforms after death. As this happened this mysterious energy wave struck her body, and split her spirit. That is how you and your brother were born.
Faithfullove ponders this for a moment, then looks to the image of the Queen. I understand, but your Majesty, why do I feel a power so similar to my own? Queen Serenity smiles. Well the same energy ripple that caused your birth created space time distortions that allowed Saturn's full spirit to reform at a later time. So this allowed Sailor Saturn to exist in our world. You see there are two spirits of Saturn now, you and your brother, and also the Eternal Warrior, Sailor Saturn.
So my Queen I must protect the New Silver Millennium then? Faithfullove replied. Serenity nods. Yes, you must go to the moon, there you will find the Crystal Palace and it's new ruler Neo Queen Serenity. There you will find senshi strong enough to help you with your quest. So I will fight side by side with Neo Queen Serenity then? Serenity shakes her head slowly. No I'm afraid not, she has grown too weak restoring the Crystal Palace. She only has the power to heal, and to show the way. As she says those final words Serenity slowly fades away.
Faithfullove panics. Queen Serenity! Your majesty! Please don't go, I have more questions, I need guidance! Only a fading voice of Serenity responds. Go to the Crystal Palace, there you will find what you need. Then, finally, she was alone. The newly awakened senshi is troubled. What is my mission? She asks herself. Surely if my brother is defeated and destroyed, so will I, for we share the same life force. I have only begun to live! Must I die so quickly?!
