Hiya..
I've had so many requests for me to write an OMGod/SM crossover that I finally got around to putting something together - what follows is a very rough version... I'd appreciate any comments people would care to make (Since
Also I'm trying to come up with a name for it... any suggestions would be welcome..

The Moon Kingdom was no more. Queen Serenity's magic had
begun to sent her daughter and friends to earth, they would be
reborn at a future date, one day when the universe needed them
again. Serenity watched the energy of her spell ebb and the
quickly rising globes of energy began to slow in their ascent
towards the earth.
"That.. is not possible", she gasped, something was
interfearing with her magic, blocking and diverting it.
"NO!", she screamed, forcing more of her already depleted
lifeforce into the spell. There was a flash of blue light and
Serenity suddenly found herself looking upon a frozen
universe, the earth had stopped it's relentless turning and
even the fires surrounding her had paused in mid-flicker.
She felt light headed as she looked around, no longer
feeling any pain from the injuries she'd suffered. "What's
going on?", she wondered out loud, not expecting a response.
"You tried to change destiny Queen Serenity", an angry
voice snapped.
Serenity turned to face a young man in a set of long blue
robes, they appeared to shimmer in the dim light and moved
with a life of their own. The man's expression was one of
near fury and his brown eyes flashed with emotion, "I am
Tlesta, the God of Destiny", he said formally, "And I want to
know by what right you are interfearing in the Destiny of the
Moon Kingdom!?!".
"Because I am it's QUEEN!", Serenity replied sharply, her
own anger growing, "That gives me the right!".
Tlesta gave her a look of pure hatred, "You spell will
succeed and your daughter will be reborn several thousand
years from now", he spat, "But you realise that you have
doomed earth to the same fate as your current Kingdom?".
Serenity shook her head, "My daughter will prevail
against that evil", she said firmly, "I believe in her!".
"And if she doesn't?", Tlesta argued, seeing her
expression he shook his head, "You only think that you know
best don't you? well I shall show you what you risk". Tlesta
incanted a spell and an image formed in front of Serenity,
"This is the future that you are condeming to an uncertian
fate", the viewing globe displayed images of the world, great
cities that far outsized even the largest that the moon had
ever had, technology that allowed people to travel without
magic to the corners of the solar system. But beyond all
that, billions upon billions of lives.
"And you have endangered them all", Tlesta said quietly
as the images dissapeared, "For your own selfish desire to
have your daughter live on".
Serenity winced at his remark, "I could not let my
daughter's life end here, is that fair? she's barely begun to
live!", she said softly.
Tlesta shook his head, "Where is it written that life is
fair?", he asked, "I have seen the birth and death of more
friends than you have ever known, and every time one of them
left it wasn't fair!".
Serenity watched as the God turned away from her to stare
at the frozen image of the earth, "Why can't it be a little
fairer to my daughter then?", Serenity asked softly, "Can you
deny me that?".
Tlesta gave her a cold look, "I could", he said firmly,
"Quite easily". Serenity's heart dropped as his gaze fell
over her and she realised full well that this powerful being
could undo all of her sacrifices.
"How could you be so cruel?", Serenity asked, "What kind
of evil creature are you?".
"Evil?", Tlesta asked scornfully, "I fulfil the destiny
that Kami-Sama has seen fit to organise!". He shook his head,
"Oh I'm far from evil... ".
He saw the expression on her face and sighed, "Queen
Serenity", he said formally, "Your daughter will have her
chance at being reborn, I will not deny you what you have
fought so long and hard for".
Serenity felt her heart lift, "Thank..", she began.
Tlesta cut her off with a raised hand, "She will have her
chance, but there is a price", he finished.
"Whatever you ask of me, I shall give you", Serenity
begged desperately.
Tlesta shook his head, "No", he said softly, "You have
already given enough". He paced back and forth for a few
moments, "Your daughter, her aides and allies are going to be
facing some challanges that they in all probability will not
overcome", he said firmly, "To that end I shall provide
protection for them if they ask it of me, but they shall in
turn respond without question to whatever orders I give them
and aid me in any way I require". Serenity nodded, "And one
additional thing", Tlesta added after a moment, "One of their
lives shall be given over to me as payment". Serenity was
shocked to silence as the God's steady gaze awaited her
answer.
The Queen of what was formely known as the Moon Kingdom
nodded her head once and Tlesta snapped his fingers. Again
the pain returned and Serenity found herself back under the
pile of rubble that would become her resting place. She
gasped for breath as the weight of the stone and mortar
pressed down upon her. She whispered her final prayer, a plea
to Kami-Sama, who heard and agreed.

While most people would think differently, it was a
difficult life being a cat. Especially when that cat just
happened to belong to a young girl named Usagi. Luna was
having a most uncomfortable night, she was being alternately
strangled and hugged by a heavily dreaming Usagi. "That'll
teach me to sleep within arm's length of her", she mumbled to
herself.
The black cat managed to scramble off the bed as Usagi
turned over, "Mamoru", she mumbled, switching to a pillow.
"I don't believe this girl", Luna muttered, jumping up to
the open window, she was already late for her meeting with
Artemis. She quickly jumped down and ran through the deserted
streets, avoiding the odd late-night walkers and arrived at
the small coffee shop that had become their unoffical meeting
point. Artemis was already waiting for her, "Took you long
enough", he chided her.
Luna ignored him, "So what was so urgent that we had to
have a meeting?", she asked, puffing slightly.
"I saw a monster the other day", Artemis said blandly.
"YOU WHAT?!?!", Luna demanded, "Why didn't you say
something earlier?".
Artemis laid his head down on his paws and sighed, "If it
was a problem I would have told you earlier", he said blandly.
"So what happened to this monster?", Luna asked
impatiently.
"Some guy destroyed it", Artemis replied.
"Some guy?", Luna asked, "Which guy? you mean Tuxedo
Kamen?".
Artemis shook his head, "Wasn't him", he replied, "This
guy was wearing modern body armour, I couldn't see his face,
because the armour was glowing with a white light...".
******
Artemis hid as the monster marched down the now-deserted
street, most of the people had already fled and he was about
to turn and run himself when a flash of brilliant white light
lit the street. Rising up from the ground was a figure
wearing some kind of armour. It rose until it was a few
centimeters from the ground and then the white glow vanished.
The monster turned at the light and it's eyes widened.
"Demon Grish'narkle", the figure said firmly, "It is the
dertermination of the Security Daemons that you are guilty of
multiple violations of the Midgard Security Agreement".
The monster snarled, "What are you going to do about
it?", it slobbered a moment later, "Banish me again? I'll just
find a way back!".
A grin appeared on the face of the figure in armour, "It
is my distinct pleasure to inform you that I have been given
the task of eliminating you", the figure announced.
"Chia-Yao, your a Fool!", the monster screamed, charging.
"You had your warning", the armoured figure said calmly,
as the hideous monster ran towards him. Reaching out he
snapped his finger and a huge gun appeared, "Demon, meet the
BFG-Mark II", he said, a grin spreading over his face.
Grish'narkle ignored the weapon and continued his charge,
several layers of spikes grew suddenly from it's head. The
armoured figure braced the massive weapon on his shoulder, a
laser targeting dot suddenly painted itself across the
monster's forehead. "Got ya!", Chia-Yao yelled as he pushed
on the trigger.
A glowing ball of greenish energy screamed into existance
from the barrell of the device, Chia-Yao's armoured feet dug
into the concrete as he was pushed back several paces. The
ball of energy contacted with the demon and it simply ceased
to exist. "YES!", Chia-Yao said in excitement. Then his
expression took on a worried look as the ball of energy
continued to streak down the street, "Oh no!", he said
quietly.
The energy from the massive rifle vapourised several
disused buildings, before the angle of the shot took it up out
of the street. It continued off into the distance, not
slowing or changing course. NASA would later report that an
unusual space pheonomia had passed within a few meters of
wiping out the Hubble Space telescope.
Artemis' mouth was hanging open and he blinked several
times. Chia-Yao was sitting the middle of the street, busily
adjusting the rifle, muttering something about condenser
settings when a light suddenly surrouned him, it appeared to
be coming from the cloudy sky.
"Ummm", he said, looking up, "Sorry... I misaligned
the... ". Then his face took on a fearful expression, "I'm
sorry, please don't...", then he dissapeared in a flash of
multi-coloured light.
******
"He vapourised the monster with one shot?", Luna asked in
amazement.
"And if he hadn't been aiming up hill, he would have
vaped a large portion of the city", Artemis concluded.
Luna paced back and forth, "We must find out more about
him", she concluded, "His name was Chia-Yao, that's a start".
Artemis nodded, "I'd suggest starting with Rei", he said,
"We know the demon was known as Grish'narkle, she might be
able to identify it".
******
"I don't know the demon's name", Rei said, after Luna
asked her the next morning, "But I recognise the name 'Chia-
Yao", she announced, closing the large mythological book she'd
borrowed from her grandfather's library.
Usagi yawned loudly, "I get up early to come a look at
dusty old books", she complained.
"I bet this is the first time you've been out of bed
before noon on a sunday", Rei said sweetly.
"Yeah", Usagi mumbled, leaning up against the wall, her
eyes drooping closed.
Luna and Rei exchanged a long glance as a snore began to
echo from Usagi's prone form. They stepped outside and Rei
closed the door quickly, "So how do you know this Chia-Yao?",
Luna asked, returning to their discussion.
Rei smiled, "Follow me", she said, walking into the main
part of the temple. She walked over to an ancient tapestry on
one wall of the room, pointing to it. Luna frowned, it
appeared to be a painting of six figures, three of them
obviously female, one was indistinctly drawn, lacking form and
the other two were of two men, one in armour the other in
robes. Below each was some ancient writing.
"What does it say?", Luna asked, not recoginsing the
text.
The tree women are listed as, "Past, Present and Future",
Rei said, running her finger over the names, "The figure not
drawn clearly is labelled 'Mystery' and guy in robes is called
'Destiny'".
"Who is the last figure?", Luna asked.
"That figure is labelled, 'Truth'", Rei said, "But in the
ancient tongue it's pronouced 'Chia-Yao'".
A memory stirred in Luna as she looked at the male figure
in robes, the paint had faded over the centuries, but it
appeared to be a pale blue in colour, "How is his name
pronouced?", Luna asked, indicating Destiny with an
outstretched paw.
"Tlesta", Rei replied, pronoucning it carefully.

Yggrassil's main database suddenly recognised a summons
to the God of Destiny. It routed a special message/transport
spell to be forwarded to the God's office. A few nanoseconds
later, the primary database found that the god the message was
intended for no longer existed. Checking the priorities it
forwarded a message only to the current holder of the office
and the transport/message combination was sent to the god
listed as the next recipient, Chia-Yao, God of Truth.
******
Chia-Yao wasn't having a good day, he'd been summoned
back to face Kami-Sama and so far the only words he'd gotten
in had been 'Sorry' and several 'Buts'. Kami-sama was furious
about his use of powerful anti-demon weapons on the mortal
plane. And he shuddered at the thought of the punishment that
he was going to recieve.
At that moment a summons arrived for him, but before the
teleport spell could take effect, Kami-sama interrupted it.
Kami-sama read the message to himself before passing it over
to Chia-Yao. Chia-Yao got the fright of his life as he looked
up from the message to see a mischievious smile on Kami-Sama's
face.
"No, Please!", he begged, "Not that!! take away my
powers, confine me to Heaven, but don't make me babysit a
bunch of teenage girls!".
Kami-sama's judgement was final however and Chia-Yao felt
his body began to melt and reform. He looked at himself in
the mirrored walls, to see the body of a cat - one with silver
hair and blue eyes. "BUT THIS IS BRETT'S JOB!", he protested
as the teleportation took effect.
