Help the Senshi
by Mark Doherty (mdoherty@mailbox.uq.edu.au)

This is a run-through fic, written on the fly. It fits into the 

universe

expounded in I'm Here to Help, and it offers a different view on 

certain

things. This won't be the only one I do from another's view, probably.

This is basically standalone, but go read I'm Here to Help first, the
story is built on events portrayed there. 

Sailor Moon and associated characters/background were created by
Naoko Takeuchi. No disrespect is intended in their use.

C&C, please.

Not too much, other than a comment that I am really enjoying this whole 
series, and look forward to the possibility of other POV stories to 
accompany IHTH.  However, I've got one little...caveat:

+++++++++++++++++

The Great Ice was... horrible. It was like a slow-motion dream, 

thoughts 

and feelings warped to a terrible slowness, as cold seeped, seemingly
permanently, into your limbs. When Serenity freed us from that, it was 
something... a deed for which I can't even begin to describe how 

grateful 

I was. She had a vision of a future, a better future, free from 

monsters such 

as the ones that had brought about the Ice in the first place.

   And this is it.  You've worked hard in IHTH to establish a certain 
ambiguity related to Serenity's rise to power--``Nameless'' is convinced 
that the Great Ice was her doing.  Now we have a second testimony that 
it was the monsters who did it.  Even if you never settle the matter, 
the reader can thrust the question of who is right and who is wrong onto 
whether or not they are correct about that one issue.  If ``Nameless'' 
is right, and Serenity did the Big Freeze, then his antagonism is 
justified.  OTOH, if Sailor Wannabe is right, then Nameless is just a 
more tragic/sympathetic antagonist.

Not sure where I'm going with this, I'll have to see future installments 
first (So get back to work!!! ;>)
