	I don't know if it'll ever get off the ground farther than this.
<shrug> Oh well.

  Cor. I'm writing a Sailor Moon fic....
  Written in response to all the new-male-character SM fics I've seen.
  Think "Anno Hideaki directs Sailor Moon".

  "Iason, you have a visitor."

  The 17 year old youth looked up from his work at his father. "Who is
it?"

  "Just come and see." The older man smiled.

------------------------------------------------

  It was a fine day in Tokyo. Bright and sunny. Very nice.

  Seidou Ryoku, third-year student at Kongou High School, was taking a
stroll with his parents and little sister. It had been a good week,
overall. A little stressful, to be sure--but that was what this relaxed
walk through the park was for.

  It was _such_ a great day to be out.

  "From...from Lady V-Venus?" stammered Iason.

  The large man smiled. "Yes. I am her personal aide and representative,
Vitus. I have come here to speak to you on her behalf. And for the
Younger Venus, as well."

  "Er...."

  "My boy! Do not be so timid! You are not in any sort of trouble!"
Vitus laughed and slapped him resoundingly on the back.

  "*kaff* Y-yes, sir...."

  "Iason, lad, as you know, Venus is the leader of the Senshi. And as
leader of the Senshi, she has a protector. You know of Aias, do you
not?"

  "Um. He is the Elder Venus's protector?" Something at the back of
Iason's mind was starting to nag him.

  "Indeed. The Younger Venus will be assuming the role someday, of
course. And she, in turn, will have a protector."

  Iason blinked.

------------------------------------------------

  "Ryo-niisan, what's that?" Karin pointed over something that seemed to
be moving around in a particularly thick bunch of trees.

  "Eh? No idea.... Let's look."

  The Seidous ambled towards the grove, prodded by mild curiosity. Along
the way, Ryoku started to feel a little disoriented. He just put it off
to his lack of sleep.

  Iason stood on the bridge of the Wing of Aphrodite, watching the Earth
pull away on the viewscreen. Destination: the Moon.

  He was excited, and still a little dumbfounded. He had a talent for
fighting, yes, but he would never have guessed--

  "Hey...what's...over there...." He pointed.

  With that, the fall of the Silver Millenium began. And within two
minutes, it all ended for Iason Porakos.

------------------------------------------------

  Ryoku stared in absolute horror at the explosion....

  Chunks of concrete flew outward....

  His mother, father, sister fell....

  He fell....

  And before he lost consciousness, he saw a flash of colors.

  "I am the beautiful sailor-suited warrior...."

  Too late. Damn you. Too late.
