Queen Meioh!\u201d stammered the guard as he saluted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all right,\u201d soothed the Queen of Pluto, Setsuna Meioh. \u201cHow fares Rei\u2019s arrival?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe ship just touched down,\u201d replied the guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, we\u2019d better greet them,\u201d said Setsuna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCome on!\u201d said Usagi II, the former Chibiusa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>As the two women headed off to the Martian Landing Site, the TARDIS landed. Her crew stumbled out. \u201cAnyone would think you flew a washing machine!\u201d grumbled William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat was that, Doctor?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat, Amy, was temporal turbulence,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cLike a massive time-ship tore through normal space and sent out ripples in the Time Vortex.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd right as we were landing,\u201d remarked Rassilon. \u201cA rather primitive time-ship, hm?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPrimitive, but effective,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cI\u2019m sure your experimental time-ships were like that before the prototype TARDIS.\u201d The Doctor looked around. \u201cI feel like I have an engagement here to attend to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhere and when are we?\u201d asked William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCrystal Tokyo, the new capital of Earth in the 30<sup>th<\/sup> Century, under the benevolent rule of Neo Queen Serenity and her husband, King Endymion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026NEO Queen Serenity?\u201d asked William. \u201cBit ostentatious. And Crystal Tokyo? That\u2019s my third trip to Japan so far!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, first with Godzilla, then with the Kamen Riders, now with the Sailor Scouts,\u201d remarked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSailor Scouts?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey still exist?\u201d asked Rassilon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh yes,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cAnd to answer your question, Amy, their official title is Sailor Guardians. Tell me, do sailor fuku outfits exist on Mobius?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, it\u2019s a pretty popular style in certain countries on Mobius,\u201d replied Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, these girls dress up in such outfits, but they manage to use energy attacks, calling them magic based.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMagic? Doctor, are these magical girls we\u2019re talking about?\u201d asked William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not really magic! It\u2019s just science that doesn\u2019t have a normal explanation like how a TARDIS looks to a non-Time Lord!\u201d The Doctor then took a breath to calm down. \u201cThis particular group of\u2026magical girls have their alternate identities named after celestial bodies, like Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSailor Moon?! My sister loved that show when she was little!\u201d said William. \u201cSo she\u2019s as real as Tron?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, William, she is,\u201d replied the Doctor. She then snapped her fingers. \u201cAnd I just recalled that I was invited to a conference as an independent observer in this time zone!\u201d She spotted a guard approaching them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd just who are you?\u201d asked the guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHold on! I have my credentials!\u201d called the Doctor. She pulled out a wallet and opened it to reveal a piece of paper. The guard examined it. He blinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026If you were invited here by Queen Meioh herself,\u201d said the guard, \u201cwhy didn\u2019t you just pull out your invitation instead of the psychic paper here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo be honest, I almost forgot about this conference,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cSo, are me and my friends here good?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Well, the invitation DID say you were to land your TARDIS on the designated landing pad,\u201d remarked the guard, \u201cbut we\u2019ll have it moved there before King Endymion goes berserk. You\u2019re just in time, Doctor. The Martian Queens and their respective retinues have arrived aboard the <em>Ares<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Martian prototype time ship?\u201d asked the Doctor. She then recalled something. \u201cThat\u2019s right, the conference concerns the Deimos Temporal Research Station.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTemporal\u2026time travel experiments?\u201d asked William. \u201cWe\u2019re gonna be dabbling in time travel?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTime travel\u2019s been documented on Mobius,\u201d replied Amy. \u201cHeck, I first met Sonic during a time disaster that he had to fix.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019s here at this point in time that the human race really learns about temporal mechanics,\u201d continued the Doctor. \u201cNow, let\u2019s go find our esteemed hosts, hm?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat about the-?\u201d asked Rassilon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKeep the tracer on standby,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cHopefully we\u2019ll find the fifth segment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The TARDIS crew was led to the delegates\u2019 lounge where various people were talking. William blinked. \u201cErm, are those related to the Draconians at all?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHm?\u201d The Doctor saw two different reptilian humanoids. One looked like a lizard with horns, the other had a beak mouth and fin-frills on its head. \u201cOh, no,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cThose are a Silurian and a Sea Devil. Their species are cousins and they used to be the rulers of Earth until the Dinosaurs went extinct. They used to have bad relations with you humans until the 25<sup>th<\/sup> century.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor?\u201d asked a voice. Setsuna then approached the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAh! Setsuna! What a pleasure!\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cEveryone, this is Setsuna Meioh, Queen of Pluto and, at least in this time, the former Sailor Pluto.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI thought Pluto wasn\u2019t a-,\u201d remarked William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was reclassified as a planet in the 23<sup>rd<\/sup> century,\u201d replied Setsuna, looking annoyed. \u201cDoctor, I can guess you forgot about this conference, given how busy your life is, so what IS your purpose for being here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, what if I told you my friends and I were after the Key to Time?\u201d asked the Doctor. Setsuna blinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Why?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour Majesty,\u201d said Rassilon, \u201cI am Rassilon, the former Lord President Eternal of Gallifrey-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, I know who you are, Lunatic,\u201d replied Setsuna. \u201cYou tried to gain access to the Door of Space and Time to undo what the Master did to your planet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat?! Rassilon!\u201d protested the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was desperate and the Black Guardian played on that desperation,\u201d explained Rassilon. \u201cI got ensnared in their trap and now I have to gather the segments of the Key in order to restore the balance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Are you sure-?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m aware it sounds like something the White Guardian would say! But it WAS the Black Guardian, I\u2019m sure of it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Very well. Rassilon, do you have the Key\u2019s Core?\u201d Rassilon pulled out the tracer. Setsuna summoned a staff with a giant garnet orb on it. Rassilon pointed the tracer at the staff and it clicked rapidly. She pointed the tracer at the orb and it clicked even faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Your Garnet Orb?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt became a segment just a while ago,\u201d explained Setsuna. \u201cI\u2019ll give it to you IF\u2026you help us during this conference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026I think that\u2019s a fair deal, Doctor,\u201d remarked Rassilon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026You\u2019ve changed,\u201d said Setsuna. \u201cNo self-aggrandizing about how I\u2019m an insect?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCome on, I\u2019m traveling with the Doctor. She has a tendency to open people\u2019s minds to a wider universe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have to agree,\u201d said William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, that\u2019s settled then!\u201d declared the Doctor. \u201cHow can I help?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, the reason for this conference is to discuss the Deimos Temporal Disaster,\u201d replied Setsuna. \u201cThe Martian Queens are here, they can explain better than I can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Disaster?!\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>As her crew mingled, the Doctor was brought to a private room. A woman with purple eyes and long black hair going straight down her red gown and a lizard woman in green, scaly armor with red eye lenses in her helmet were sitting and discussing. The two looked up to see Setsuna and the Doctor. \u201cSetsuna, what\u2019s going on?\u201d asked the human woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWho is this woman?\u201d asked the lizard woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cQueen Rei Hino, Queen Taxona,\u201d introduced Setsuna, \u201cthis is the Doctor, an expert in time travel law and temporal mechanics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor?!\u201d asked the lizard woman. She brought her fist to her chest in a salute. \u201cYou brought my first ancestor, Iraxxa, into a golden age for our people! By the moons, I honor thee!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd I\u2019ve heard of you, Queen Taxona of the Ice Warriors of Mars,\u201d replied the Doctor, saluting in the same way. \u201cTell me, what year is this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c3089, according to the humans of this planet, why?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDidn\u2019t want to spoil your future, but you DID help the humans discover faster than light travel ten years ago. By the moons, I honor thee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd I don\u2019t regret helping the humans in the slightest!\u201d chuckled Taxona. She then turned grim. \u201cBut we have a grave situation to discuss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, if Taxona vouches for you,\u201d said Rei, \u201cthen we\u2019ll need your help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, I heard there was a disaster at the Deimos Research Station,\u201d remarked the Doctor. \u201cPerhaps you could bring me into the picture?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMartian Arrival is imminent, your highness,\u201d said a soldier to a woman in a pink dress and pink hair tied into two pointed hair buns and a long pony tail from each bun. \u201cIf you mean to say Aunt Rei and Queen Taxona\u2019s ship is landing,\u201d giggled the princess, \u201cjust say that.\u201d \u201c\u2026P-Protocol has to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6809,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[959,996],"tags":[515,35,963,962,997,262],"class_list":["post-7175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-doctor-who-crossings","category-series-2","tag-amy-rose","tag-doctor-who","tag-fan-companion","tag-fan-doctor","tag-rassilon","tag-sailor-moon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7175"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7175\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7176,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7175\/revisions\/7176"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
