In short-they aren't mine! Nakushita,however is my brainchild. A New Chapter In The Lives of the Sailor Senshi Begins!:The Story of Sailor Earth:Prologue Newport News,VA, a mid-sized city home to the largest shipyard in the world, located on the Virginia peninsula. It is also home to Ki Chino,a girl of many hopes and dreams,now a new chapter in the Sailor Moon universe begins: "Ki?!...Ki, dinner is ready!", Kiko Chino, Ki's mother calls her from the kitchen. "I'll be there in a minute mom! I'm on the phone with Jennifer!""Anyways,so what's up with you and..." !!!!!!!CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Aaaaaaaaaah!" "Mom?! Jennifer, I'll have to call you back!" Ki runs down the hall frantically, not knowing what to find or suspect. There, at the end of the hall,Ki discovers a scene that will haunt her for the rest of her life:her mother laying limp in the hands of a yoma. Her mother, the only family she has left,her father left them a year ago and her brother has been missing for weeks. This is more than she can take. Tears well up in her eyes and stream down her face. Her eyes turn cold,the rage builds up inside her,she faces the yoma directly in the eyes, "Who are you and what do you want?!',Ki questions coldly. "I've come for what I've been assigned to do,next time, you'll have your turn,"the yoma sneers,knocking Ki to the floor with one slap across the face. Ki manages to pull herself up,whiping off the stream of blood from her mouth as the yoma laughs an irritable, cackling laugh. Ki notices her mother's limp body is still in one of the yoma's arms,enraging her even more. Then, suddenly there's a brilliant flash of LIGHT, "HUGH,WHAT'S THAT?!".exclaims the yoma. Then, Ki notices the Henshin Stick floating in the air infront of her.....she grabs it as if out of reflex, and shouts,"EARTH PLANET POWER! MAKE UP!" "What's this?!",questions the yoma. Ki begins to transform,a wall of earth surrounds Ki,as she appears in an electric blue and black sailor fuku.She strokes her hair from the front to the back and electric blue lipstick appears on her lips. "I am the spiritual essence and defender of this planet,I am the sworn protector of the sailor soldiers and all living things on this planet. Guided by the planet of life, I am SAILOR EARTH!",exclaims Ki. "Even in America you sailors spoil our fun!"(The yoma then tosses Ki's mother to the ground,exposing a fist-sized whole in her back and blood dripping all over the yoma's hands)."I will destroy you and the rest of this city." "I don't think so!"(Gemstone bands appear on Ki's arms). "Earth Elemental Surprise!",exclaims Ki,as fire from the sun,spirit of the living things of earth,and wind,water,and earth all collect in a blackish-blue enrgy ball and she hurls it at the yoma. "Aaaah,you wretch, you will paaaaay!",,,,,,,the yoma then dissapates into nothing. Ki then falls down,weak from the new-found energy and she returns back into her normal clothes. "Mommma?!,Mom?!,Momma?!",Ki shouts as she cries,crawling around the rubble,looking frantiacally for her mother. "I'm over here Ki",her mother faintly whispers."Momma,are you okay?",Ki questions as she crawls to her mother. "Ki, do you remember your aunt Ikuko?" "Yes mom,Usagi and I became quite close when they visited here last summer,why?" "You must,....you must go to her,contact her for me." "But mom,why-" "Ki,just go!" "Mom?!,Mom?!" Ki feels the cold surrounding her and the life draining from her mother's body,and realizes there is nothing she can do. There's nothing she can do,but utter the words she swore she'd never say again,"I love you,mom". And with her dying breath,Kiko Chino says her final words,"I love you too,my daughter." Ki does nothing,she can't cry any more tears because no more exist,she kisses her mother's fore-head and bids her farewll. Two hours later: RING! RING! RING! "Hello?" "Aunt Ikuko,it's me......"
