Actually, this idea of Kyhdin's
Komodo please. Kyhdin, well, Kyhdinserric is my RP SN. It also happens to be
the E-mail I post to the list from. But my pen name for fic writing is Komodo.
could be taken several steps further
than just with a regenerative nanny. One could not just use the Ami
surviving the Fall idea though. Think of what a genius could do in
terms of preparation in the intervening time. Highlander with
magical powers.
I think its been done. If not in fanfiction, then on one of the Highlander TV
series. (Am I the only one who liked Raven?)
Not to mention how powerful she'd become.
This takes me to a personal pet peeve of mine. I think a lot of authors
seriously underestimate Mercury's abilities and portray her as the resident
genius, downplaying her abilities. Amy, if memory serves, is mistress of all
things cold. That alone is a power worth respecting. Amy could, conceivably
bring about another Ice Age. . .oooh, Idea!
If she had all that time to hone her powers, she could take on Kunzite alone.
And is it any coicidence that Amy and Serena, or Ami and Usagi if you prefer,
are similar. Think about it. Same shoe style, (both wear knee high boots) and
both have the same Senshi initials. Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury.
Co-winky-dink? I think not. Heck, they could probably switch sailor
identidies. . .man, this is my night for ideas. Hmm, Serena becomes Mercury,
Amy becomes Moon. Hmmm. . .that's some good comedy right there. . .
One, Sailor Mercury survives the Fall. Her body either stays at
the same age, or she has access to some form of rejuvenation. Having
to wait for the others has caused her mind to collapse after a few
centuries. After which she undergoes 'life cycles'. She lives a life
until a certain point when her mind is incapable of dealing with it
any more. Her mind shuts down, her body undergoes rejuvenation and
instinct make her start a new life in a new place with amnesia.
Each life lives differently and brings a new perpective. This carries
on until the start of the series.
Becoming Sailor Mercury however, has awakened her past lives. Ami
basically has to compete with them. While she may be the dominant
personality, the others can distract her with their voices, or even
take over when she is vulnerable. This might both be useful
(warrioress in fights, healer after, understanding the experiences of
other, personalities at various time periods in history class.) and
detrimental (heartless assassin, seductress, psychopath, selfish
brats). How she deals with the problems they cause, reassimilate
would make a great story.
Agreed. Any takers?
For even more trouble, have the Silver Millenium personality awaken.
That one has a completely non human mindset and thinks in a way
similar to the DK. Obeys Princess Serenity ONLY, she is a danger to
pretty much everyone else, including Usagi. Sooner or later, a
showdown has to occur.
<As Homer Simpson> mmmmm, crispy fried Senshi. . .
On a slightly less dark note, have Ami die with the rest. She gets
reincarnated with the rest, something goes wrong. Her previous
personality is awakened, or for Kyhdin's
Komodo's
idea, Rehka gets reincarnated as well (Regeneration only goes so far).
Maybe, maybe not. The idea is based on a book I read once. I forget the
title, but it revolved around a reborn King Arthur, The Reborn Sir Galahad,
and the battle for the Holy Grail, which has been held by this Arabic
Sorcerer. What was neat was that the Grail Healed. Anything. Lost limbs were
regenerated, normal wear and tear erased, etc. Amy/Rehka's regeneration: same
idea.
This could be a result of trauma, badly cast magic, accident or
overstraining her
powers or my favorite, Sailor Moon hits her with her tiara in their
initial meeting.
Hee hee. That would be good. I can see it now; something like this:
Raye was the only other one who really understood computers and she pored
over Amy's tiny hand-held Scout computer while the others looked on. Finally
she looked up.
"The problem seems to extend to a blow to the brain she suffered some two
years ago to the front of the head."
"Two years ago?" Serena exclaimed, "That's about when Amy and I first met
and I-" her hand flew to her mouth. "Uh-oh."
"Uh-oh what?" Raye demanded, rising to her feet. "What did you do?"
Ami will not be aware of her second personality at first.
This could get better with her not even knowing
that she's Sailor Mercury. The other personality is in control of it.
Lots of stress is the result since she begins to lose time. She
awakens in places she's never been, maybe even with injuries. The
other Senshi may not be aware that someone else is in control when
Sailor Mercury is in action. Or they might be forced to keep it a
secret from Ami. All Ami knows is that she's compelled
to hang out with them.
Hope to see how this idea turns out.
Well it won't be from my pen, that's why I posted the idea. It's up for grabs.
My muses have promised to do
their Akane impression if I even start another fic.
Yours do Akane impressions? That sucks, all mine can do is a really crappy
Bill Clinton.
Hope this helps,
Probably will,
