Yume has a fanfic! It's called Crystal Generation and it's at crystalgen.t35.com/ (Sorry for all the popups. If a page fails to load try refreshing.)
Edit: Forgot to say, it's rated PG13 for swearing and some borderline mature content in later chapters. Nothin serious though. (Come on people, it's Sailor Moon...
)
Just as a preview, I'll post part of the prologue here.
"Papa! Mamaaaa!"
A young girl, no more than nine, cried out in despair, squinting through the smoke that filled the room. Her face was streaked with tears and dirt, her elegant gown was in tatters, and blood dripped from a gash on her forehead. She stumbled forward, ignoring the pain. "Where are you? Papa? Mama! Help me!"
A wall of fire flared up in front of her, and she drew back from the searing heat. Through the flames, she could vaguely make out the outline of two bodies lying on the ground. She faltered, suddenly feeling that she didn't really want to see their faces.
A menacing laugh rang out from above. She looked up and saw a figure dressed in billowing white robes hovering above the carnage. The choking black smoke served only to make him more brilliant by contrast. He was beautiful, but his beauty was horrifying, the magnificence of a fallen angel. His eyes were the worst. Indeed he seemed to have no eyes at all; only blinding, cruel light spilled forth from where they should have been. They narrowed at her in a cold sneer as he gathered a ball of white fire in his hands. She could only watch, transfixed, as he readied the final blow.
"Nooo!" she screamed at the last second. "I don't want to die!"
Suddenly another light, equal in brilliance, sprang up among the rubble. The white-robed man recoiled in shock. With a tremendous blast, the flames were driven back, and a crystal flower appeared. The light that surrounded it was warm and gentle. It seemed to pulse along with her own heartbeat as it settled into her small palms.
"Mama...?"
A sudden, glorious rage filled her and she rose to her feet, standing tall. She looked straight into his hollow eyes without flinching, and pointed and accusing finger at him.
"You! Don't think you can just do as you please to our kingdom! A tyrant like you must be punished! I am Princess Rose! With the power of this crystal, I will make you pay for what you have done!"
Her tirade was simplistic at best, but her voice was strong and regal. And the power that exploded from the crystal in her hands was real enough. The light surged forward in a single brilliant beam, streaking torward the man. But to her surprise, a bright golden aura surrounded the man, and an equally strong ray of light smashed into hers. It was then that she saw the pendant that hung around his neck, a delicate flower of gold-tinted glass.
A crystal?!
Rose felt her power draining away, but she forced herself to channel even more. She would defeat him.
"Rose," the man muttered. "So they named you Rose after all..."
They kept struggling, deadlocked, until exhaustion began to wear the young girl down. She gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her dirt-smudged face. "N-no..." she gasped. "I won't lose! I can't lo-- aah!"
Her words became a cry of despair as her strength gave out. The light of her crystal flickered and died, and moments later the golden beam smashed into her chest. Rose screamed as agony tore through her small body. Golden light was pouring into her eyes, filling her mind and dissolving her soul. She writhed in terror and pain, but there was nothing she could do as the sorcerer's power tore her apart...
Abruptly, the pain stopped, and Rose fell to the ground. For a moment she could only lay there trembling. When she managed to open her eyes she dimly saw a tall, dark-haired woman standing between her and the man. The woman was holding out her hand in a commanding gesture, and a pulsing wall of shadow was driving back the onslaught of light...
