It's present day, present time, United States, with everything in today's world in this alternate realm. Sailor Moon fans love Sailor Moon, yet little do they know the stories are truly based on real famous medieval elemental soldiers from a thousand years ago. Craters in the moon and the non-existent atmosphere are the results of Queen Beryl's attack, ravishing the Silver Millennium to pieces. Over time, Earth developed into how it is today, without the slightest hint of an evil disturbance. Here, in the year 2002, is where the story begins…

Two young sisters on a trip with their family to the beach were playing in the waves up to their hips, having a grand ole' time. Their parents disappeared behind the levee for a moment to grab the boogie boards, and all of a sudden two glowing lights, one a deep blue and the other aqua-colored, appeared in the water in front of the young sixteen and seventeen year old girls, respectively. They shot up above their heads, each about the size of a bird. Fluttering around and then shooting down into their chests, the impact and shock caused them both to fall down into the waves. There, in a matter of a second, they both learn things that shock them beyond belief and would have taken half an hour to an hour in real time.

As they fell under from instant fatigue, the water gushed over them and instantly they found themselves in an underwater shrine, as an enormous bubble enveloped the whole area. They could breathe and talk, yet it aws only a psychic projection from another place. As three figures dressed in a blue cloak, a white cloak, and an dark teal cloak approached them, the sisters looked at each other nervously and then at the approaching figures.

The girls were addressed as Neo Sailor Mercury and Neo Sailor Neptune, and the two females were awestruck into silence. Introducing themselves, the three elders in cloaks pushed back their head concealments to reveal three middle-aged yet still beautiful faces: Ami Mizuno, Usagi Tsukino, and Michiru Kaioh. Otherwise known as: Sailor Mercury, Sailor Moon, and Sailor Neptune, respectively. The women revealed that they were in fact the original soldiers who were reborn on Earth after the Silver Millennium collapsed, and with a wry smile, they told about how a story and show was created about them through the books that had been recopied over and over again. New uniforms for the miracle warriors had been devised, and they had been updated at the spur of the moment. The two girls knew this already.

Then, they told the story of how each one of them was killed off by a powerful enemy, picking them off one by one, until only Usagi had remained. She was crushed while trying to fight the monster, yet managed to seal him away for a thousand years. A thousand years later, they were to return to the underwater haven to greet the two water senshi, two young women who would be in the water at the exact time and date that was chosen for the enemy to return.

Handing them their henshin pens, the two girls noticed that they were beautiful pens, crafted with their planetary rune on the top, just like in the books. The three elder senshi of the past smiled wryly as they explained the henshin wands of the past had been made of wood and had since then fallen apart into dust. The legendary ginzuishou was placed into the hands of Neo Sailor Mercury, the younger sister, who stared at it along with her older sister like some precious jewel. Afterward, it was made clear to the girls that, like the masked soldiers of the past, they would also conceal their identity from all but their fellow senshi, the ones that they were to seek out and find. Also, there would be guardians for each of them, some equal in power, some more powerful than themselves. Neo Sailor Mercury would guide them, be their leader. Would she be able to handle it?

And, as the time had passed for the evil being to return to Earth, the three elder senshi merely curtsied ceremonially and nodded in best wishes to the two sisters, leaving them with the simple fact that they knew the evil would be present most of the time in it's human form, although they didn't know if man or woman. As the whole scene around the two sisters faded, water hit them in the face and they stood up from the ocean, a whole second later from when they had fallen. Looking at each other in silence, they noticed that henshin pens were clutched protectively in their hands, plus the ginsuishou in the younger sisters. Hurrying to the shore, they tucked the pens in their beach bags and went to boogie board a bit before enjoying the rest of the day at the beach with their family: their mother, father, and younger ten-year old brother, and afterward headed home to their residence in Houston, Texas, to figure out what to do next...
