Prologue: Her Destiny

A/N:They said it couldn't be done. They said it shouldn't be done. They said I'd burn in hell if I did this. Well, no, actually, they didn't, but I'm sure someone will later. Why? Because this is a crossover of the Sailor Moon manga (which was totally better than the cartoon), the Sailor Moon: Another Story RPG, and LoK. And it's serious. Uhm...Hotaru Tomoe, Michiru Kaioh, Haruka Tenoh, and Sailor Pluto belong to Naoko Takeuchi. Apsu, who tried to change Destiny in SM:AS, belongs to Toei/Angel. Kain, Raziel, and the other LoK characters belong to Eidos/Crystal Dynamics. Oh...but...Aran's mine. Now...let's begin.

Somewhere in Tokyo, a pair of young women by the names of Haruka Tenoh and Michiru Kaioh sat together on a sofa, deep in discussion. Haruka was tall, muscular, and wiry, with sandy hair that she kept boyishly short. Michiru was shorter, with wavy aqua colored hair and a slender, more delicate build.

"I...don't understand, Haruka. Why can't we transform? Is it Apsu? Is she meddling with Destiny-"

"No," the sandy-haired woman said, "It can't be. We destroyed her. She's gone, Michiru..."

"Then how do you explain the fact that we can't transform? How?"

"I don't know!" Haruka snapped as she pushed some of her sandy hair out of her eyes. "I...don't know," she finished more softly.

The door to the living room creaked open and a little girl of five or so, with chin-length black hair and royal purple eyes peered in.

"Haruka-papa? Michiru-mama?"

The two women froze and stared at the little girl.

"Are you guys okay?"

Haruka had to smile a little. "Everything's fine," she said to the little girl.

"We're just a little worried about something. Go back to bed," Michiru said gently. She didn't smile. The little girl nodded and closed the door as she toddled back to her bedroom.

"If we can't transform...will...she still awaken?"

"Not as long as she's with you," answered a woman who stood behind them. Haruka and Michiru jumped and turned around to face the third woman. She wore a short black dress under a white lab coat. Her long, dark-green hair fell to her knees, but she kept part of it pulled back in a bun.

"Don't do that!" Haruka muttered, "You scared the bejesus outta me."

The other woman ignored her. "Her destiny changed...because your destinies changed."

"What do you mean?" Michiru whispered.

"I need to take her with me. She...has a mission."

Haruka narrowed her eyes. "How can she have a mission if she hasn't awakened?"

The woman in the lab coat sighed. "There is corruption seeping into our world from another. The corruption is changing the Earth's destiny very slowly so far...but if more seeps in, then Destiny will change very rapidly. I need Hotaru to...take care of that."

Haruka opened her mouth to protest, but Michiru silenced her with a glare.

"If she is needed, take her," Michiru said softly.
