Before anyone sends me death threats, a little qualifier. There are no crossover romances here. I didn't turn anyone into a Sailor Scout (You should see Ranma and Kurama's dance of joy on that! Even though, it was so tempting!).
Also, this is going to have some major yaoi and some yuri bits.
This is going to be written on the assumption that people know the basis of the shows. If you have questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
Oh! Also, in 'normal' mode, the characters will go by their regular names. When in 'super-hero' mode (I mean, in costume), they'll be going by their code names. That, and in cursed mode, Ranma is going to be Ranma-chan and Ryouga is going to be P-chan.
The prologue is short, but regular parts should be longer.
Disclaimer: None of this is mine. Done for fun.
Also, I'm using the US names for the Sailor Scouts and attacks. Just because I've never seen the Japanese version, and will give myself a headache trying to remember all the M's while writing this. (If enough fuss is kicked up, I'll go back and change it.)
"WHAT?!" All voices in the room, except Trista and (strangely enough) Duo, exclaimed.
"These men are the reincarnations of the Sailor Knights," Trista said calmly. "The Knights were all direct relations to the Sailor Senshi. Think of them as... backup, I believe the military term would be."
"But... But..." Serena was shocked. "I have a brother?"
"I'm sorry," Trista said with a shake of her head. "You don't, Serena. The Sailor Knights had representatives from every major celestial body except the moon."
"You're being awfully informative," Duo said suspiciously.
"You do remember!" Trista exclaimed with a grin.
"Yes, Pluto-chan, I do. I thought they were just crazy dreams, though," Duo replied, an unfocused look on his face. Giving himself a shake, he glared at Trista. "Why so much information? You always give a few vague sentences and disappear."
"If I did that this time," Trista replied, looking sad. "Everyone will die."
"Duo, what are you talking about?" Heero said, standing close to the braided man.
"Reincarnation," Duo replied. "Thousands of years ago, this solar system was home to a thriving inter-planetary empire, ruled from the moon. Then, a great evil attacked the system. Knowing that if something wasn't done, the future would be destroyed, the queen temporarily sealed the evil in a pocket reality and sent the souls of the empire's defenders forward in time, to be reincarnated when they would be needed."
"One problem with that little fairy tale," Wufei growled. "We were born a few millennia later."
"And, in an alternate future," Trista added. "The Crystal did it for a reason."
"The Crystal? Reason?" Quatre asked, still confused.
"The Silver Moon Crystal," Serena said, opening her broach to show the glittering crystal. "It was what made it possible for my mother to send us all forward in time."
"Your skills you learned as pilots will be needed in the near future," Trista said. "Now, that I've done all that, I'm off." Standing up gracefully, she bowed and then quickly left.
"Hey, wait just a minute!" Amara called out, but Trista had already disappeared.
"Now, what the hell do we do?" Wufei asked, glaring.
"You're our siblings?" Ami asked hesitantly.
Duo nodded emphatically. "Yep!"
"But, who is who?" Lita looked confused.
"Let's see if we can't figure it out!" Duo exclaimed.
"How do you plan to do such a thing?"
Looking down, everyone stared at Luna and Artemis.
"The cat... talked..." Trowa said, shocked.
"Luna! Artemis!" Duo crowed, bending down to give both cats a quick scratch behind the ears. "Good to see you again! To answer the question, I'm going to basically compare character traits. Want to help?"
"Our memories are still returning, but we'll do what we can," Artemis said after sharing a look with Luna.
"But, how will we know for sure?" Luna asked.
Duo grinned. "Transformation." After closing his eyes, he got a look of concentration on his face and held his arms in front of him, stiff and together. "Pluto Knight Power," he muttered. A few moments later, his body was outlined in dark green, and his clothes faded into a suit of armor with a green body suit underneath. A long staff-like weapon appeared in his clenched fingers, and he automatically slid his hands in opposite directions along the metal. Opening his eyes, he swung the rod into a 'guard' position in front of his body, and a dark green crystal scythe blade appeared. Nodding, he retraced the blade and slung the rod over one shoulder before giving the room a cocky look. "Pluto Knight, at your service!"
"Duo... How...?" Quatre asked, summing up how the pilots felt.
"You know, if I could have remembered how to do this when I was in that OZ cell, I could have kicked some major ass instead of waiting for rescue!" Pluto Knight exclaimed. Then, his armor faded and he again stood in his normal clothes. "OK... Pluto down, nine to go."
"Nine?" Ami asked. "But, there are only nine planets, we've discovered Pluto, and Trista said that the moon doesn't have a knight."
Duo started to tick the Knights off on his fingers. "Sol, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. So, nine left to find."
"We have the Earth Knight," Luna pointed out, looking at Darien.
Duo bowed before replying, "OK, eight left to find."
"But, there are only five of you, six with Darien," Serena said.
"There must be four more to find," Luna said thoughtfully.
"And, since Pluto-chan didn't pop them up," Duo snorted, "We're either going to run into them shortly, or they'll come themselves." Turning to his friends, he gave a maniac grin. "So, who wants to play 'Guess the Knight!' first?" Eyes alit, he pointed to Heero. "Let's start with one and go from there, eh?"
The Sailor Senshi looked at each other in confusion over the numbers as Luna, Artemis, and Duo peered at Heero.
"Hn, I'm no one's brother," Heero said, glaring with arms crossed.
"Mars," Artemis stated.
"You sure?" Luna asked. "I was thinking Jupiter. Maybe Neptune."
"Mars?" Duo said, breaking into chuckles. "Oh, that would be too perfect. So, Heero, just say 'Mars Knight Power' and do what comes naturally."
"Very well," Heero said. "But, only to prove this is nonsense." Squinting slightly, he balled his fists and held his arms close to his sides as he said, "Mars Knight Power". A red glow appeared around his body then disappeared, leaving him clad in armor similar to Pluto Knights, but with a red body suit. A row of daggers wreathed his waist. "What the..." Mars Knight's eyes widened and he took a step back.
"I... have a brother," Rei said in wonder.
"Sister actually," Artemis replied. "He's the reincarnation of your younger sister." Mars Knight had de-transformed and was sitting in a corner, trying to assimilate the onrush of memories the transformation had brought to the surface.
"And, I'm the reincarnation of Trista's older sister," Duo added distractedly, peering at Trowa. "Hmmm... I'm thinking Venus or Neptune. I'd say Saturn, but I'm leaning toward Venus..."
"Neptune," Luna said decisively. "He had the same hairstyle."
"Your right," Duo nodded. "OK, Trowa. 'Neptune Knight Power'. Go for it."
Nodding, Trowa threw on hand in the air and softly said, "Neptune Knight Power." After the dark greenish-blue glow had faded from his body, he stood in armor with a dark green-blue body suit underneath and held a bow in one hand.
"Wow," Michelle said softly. "You're my younger brother."
Neptune Knight nodded and de-transformed as Duo conferred with Luna and Artemis. The three gave Quatre long looks, then huddled together, then repeated the process.
"Venus, no doubt about it," Duo exclaimed.
"I still say Mercury," Luna replied stubbornly.
"Hn, he's Venus," Heero said, joining in on the discussion.
"One way to find out," Quatre replied, holding one arm straight out from his side. "Venus Knight Power!"
Quatre became the Venus Knight via an orange glow. A golden metal circle hung from the waist of his armor. Adjusting his orange fingerless gloves, Quatre nodded. "I like." De-transforming out of his armor and orange undersuit, he sat down to quietly process the memories. "Twin sister?!" he exclaimed, interrupting Duo, Heero, and the cats conference on Wufei.
"You were my twin brother?" Mina asked, awestruck.
Quatre nodded and grinned.
"OK, Wufei is either Saturn, Jupiter, or Uranus," Duo told the group. "We have two votes for Uranus, and one for the others. Anyone else have input?"
Wufei snorted. "I already know." Holding his arms palm down against his sides, he said, "Jupiter Knight Power." His armor and green undersuit appeared in a green flash of light and he was now holding a dark wooden staff.
"How did you know?" Quatre asked.
"Felt correct," Wufei replied after de-transforming.
"Well, everyone has a lot of stuff to process," Darien said into the uncomfortable silence. "So, how about we all go home and meet back here tomorrow morning?"
"It'll have to be afternoon," Ami replied. "We're starting martial arts training in the morning."
"OK, afternoon," Darien said with a nod.
"One problem," Amara replied. "Those five don't have a place to go, remember? Sailor Pluto pulled them back in time."
"They'll stay with me," Darien replied.
"As you wish, Darien-sama," Wufei replied with a bow.
Now, that's more like it!
Gundam Pilots, Silver Millennium Knights? Think I need my head examined? Email me to say so!
So, who's Mercury Knight, Saturn Knight, Sol Knight, and Uranus Knight? Soon, my pretties, soon. <Cackle>
Something that won't happen:
"I am Saturn Knight!" the Knight of Saturn said. Well, actually, that's what he wanted to say, but since he had gotten splashed with cold water a few moments after transforming, it came out as "Quack Quack Quack QUACK!"
