#senshi got fucken

[princess-of-the-corner]

Sooooo, fun and tragic Sailor Moon AU idea but:

Zoisite further modified the Black Crystal, granting it the power to transform any human into a Youma. Zoisite intended to use this power to turn Naru into a Youma. He materializes outside Naru's house, intending to turn her into a Youma and lure Sailor Moon out.

In canon he bailed because he thought Tuxedo Kamen was there and had to try again later but fumbled the shot and got some actor. Though said Youma did manage to create a hostage situation to exploit:

Zoisite appears before Sailor Moon, and orders her to hand over the Yellow Rainbow Crystal, or he will let the people inside the Marimo balls suffocate. Sailor Moon reluctantly hands it over,

Long story short, one can get Dark Mercury & Metalia corrupted Endymion angst by having Naru made into a Youma. & that this is early enough in the series (IE before Usagi even has her memories back or Minako has arrived) that she'd be even more vulnerable to this kind of tactic than canon as seen with her handing over the crystal.

Probably not your style but I had to share >:3c

Honestly one of my.... idk if I'd call it a 'complaint' exactly but it's that Naru was Usagi's close friend and was always somewhat involved early on, but kinda dropped off as more Senshi were introduced.

And that makes sense ofc. The Senshi are more important so Naru would fall off a bit.

But while there's been plenty of times where Naru is the Damsel in Distress, I think forcing Sailor Moon to actually fight her directly could be a hell of a lot of fun in that same vein of 'oh god this is someone I care about I can't fight them like this!!'

Bonus points if it ends with Naru actually remembering things and connecting dots on Usagi being Sailor Moon and ya girl gets an info dump of what the hap is fuckening with all the magical girl shit
