Bad Moon Rising

Pluto surveyed the five figures crossing limbo on their way back to the world they knew. Though it had seemed instantaneous to them to her they seemed frozen in this timeless moment. Disposing of the wrecked Boomers had dealt with one major threat to the timeline. Now it was time to deal with the second. Stranding them in limbo would have been the simple solution. But the DKR had their parts to play in what would be coming so that was not an option. However they could be allowed foreknowledge of the future.

Pluto moved to the frozen Titanite and checked the discreader she held. It was loaded with the first optical disc. That was the past and not a problem. She slipped the disc labelled R, S and SS from Ti's grasp. Now watching these would cause a problem. Pluto vanished.

Having watched her past self vanish Pluto stepped forward. Her past self would travel into the future where she would have the discs animation style analysed so it could be duplicated by computer. She'd have fictional scripts for Sailor Moon written then animated. Lastly the resulting shows would be downloaded to disc, labelled and brought back in time. The same discs she held in her hand.

Sailor Pluto stepped up to Titanite again and slipped the fake discs into place. Mission accomplished, the future was saved from anime inspired attempts to change it. It did leave the question of how the orignal discs had been so accurate. Perhaps she would never know, she was far from omniscient. Maintaining one timeline was enough of a problem. Briefly she wondered if possession of the Bubblegum Crash laserdiscs had altered the future of the other world? Or was there a guardian of that timeline who'd intervened to maintain the future. Or was the DKR's intervention predestined and the future of that world dependant on it? She dismissed the speculation. Her only concern was the future of her own world.

She looked around and saw past and future trails of the DKR crossing dimensions. Sometimes solo, mostly in groups. Past, Present and Future were all one in this place. Even for the guardian of the timeline that was an eerie concept. A thought and she had returned to the gate of time. Without an observer the moment vanished almost instantly being to brief a slice of time to notice.
