Crystal Tokyo
Crystal Tokyo, the new name that was given to Tokyo when Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion ascended the throne to rule over the Earth. It became not only the capital of Japan, but also of the entire Earth. It was a utopia, the epicenter of the new Silver Millennium, at the center of which stood the Crystal Palace.
For the longest time, due to the presence of the Silver Crystal aging was slowed down to nearly a complete halt.
However, the Silver Crystal has gone missing, and thus aging has picked up its pace back to normal.
Despite the darkness that now seeps through the streets of Crystal Tokyo, it still remains a beautiful city, more beautiful than any other city on Earth.
The city is shaped like a giant five pointed star, with the Crystal Palace at its center. Each point of the star has its own designated district, such as the shopping district, entertainment district. At the tips of these points there are five buildings that have been named Crystal Points, due to their immense power that emits from them.
During the time of Neo-Queen Serenity these points were as strong as the Palace's defense. No evil could enter, or come near the city.
However at the last great battle, after the Queens, Princes, and Princesses gave up their powers, the strength of the points dwindled, allowing darkness to enter the capital.
Crystal Points
The layout of the city, when viewed from above, looks like a five pointed star, with the Crystal Palace in the pentagon center. At the tips of the star there are special points that hold vast amounts of pure good energy and are called Crystal Points.
Once they were strong enough to protect the entire city from darkness, keeping it well outside of its borders, but after Neo-Queen Serenity and her court gave up their powers the strength of these points dimmed. Although they do not protect the entire city anymore, they do protect many vital areas of the city and are the entry ways to the Catacombs.
• North •
In the North one will be able to find the Great Jupiter Gardens. Named after Queen Jupiter who started the gardens on her own, in front of her shop, and brought them to full potential.
Jupiter's flower shop still stands, though it mostly services to the Great Jupiter Gardens. It is one of the five Crystal Points.
Currently the flower shop isn't accessible as it is heavily guarded by the forces of the Dark Empire. Upon orders of the Dark Emperor the name of the garden was changed to the Great Gardens.
The Northern point is considered one of the wealthier points where mostly the rich and famous reside.
Further up north, beyond the flower shop, stands a large black crystal structure known as the Dark Crystal Palace.
• East •
The East point holds Crystal Tokyo's main shopping district. While there was some damage from the last great battle, most of it has been repaired. This area is the busiest during working hours, full of life, yet eerily quiet during the evenings and nights. No one lives in this part of the city.
Towards the center of the East Point one can find the Uranus Sports Center. Back in the day it was a very lively place that held many competitions. Now it mainly is a training area for various types of sports, but the vibrant energy has faded. Due to the obvious link back to Queen Uranus, the Dark Empire had the sign altered, removing the name of the Queen from the building, leaving only 'Sports Center' on the wall.
On the farthest point of the eastern section stands an old Arcade that was guarded by Queen Venus. It hasn't been opened or visited in years due to it being sealed off by the Dark Empire. This was done because the Arcade is another one of the Crystal Points.
• South East •
Further on towards the south stands the Hikawa Shrine on a hill. This shrine was under the protection of Queen Mars while she was still alive, and is the third Crystal Point.
For the past 31 years no one has been allowed to enter the shrine and the entire hill has been closed off. As a result, the structure has become weak and has started to decay despite the immense strength of the Crystal Point. The Hikawa Crystal Point is arguably the strongest point of the five due to its spiritual connection, for this reason the Dark Empire can't even enter the hill itself on which the shrine stands.
The rest of the district consists of middle class homes and residences. It is a relatively calm neighborhood, despite the oddly massive amount of crows that have gathered there.
• West •
Over on the most western point of the city stands what's known as the 'Education district'. It houses the hospitals, universities, high schools, middle schools, primary schools and kindergartens. Beyond that it also houses the greatest library the world has ever seen, known as Mercury's Great Library. The name was changed by Dark Empire to remove the association with Queen Mercury, making it merely the Great Library. A pointless feat to be honest, as this was a Crystal Point, and therefore was closed off. Not even a librarian has been inside in the past 31 years.
Interestingly enough the Great Library was once the Chess Tower where chess matches were held.
The other major name change in the past was to the Observatory and Astronomy Center. Originally attributed to Queen Saturn the Saturn Observatory and Astronomy Center educated many in the wonders of the universe.
This district also houses many people, primarily in flats and apartments.
• South West •
The entertainment district can be found in the South Western point. Movie theaters, an open air theater, clubs, bars, and the crown jewel of cultural education at the tip of the point, the Neptune Concert Hall. It received its name in honor of Queen Neptune, who played there often. 31 years ago the name was stripped off of the building until it was finally restored back to its original state two years ago.
The South Western part of the star is the first section to be liberated of the Dark Empire's hold. For the regular inhabitants not a lot has changed, other than that the Neptune Concert Hall is once again open for everyone. It had been restricted by the Dark Empire due to the great power that flowed forth from it, making it the fifth Crystal Point.
Right by this Crystal Point's side stands a hotel, called the Blue Moon Hotel.
Although to most it may seem insignificant, this hotel played a pivotal role in this district's liberation. In the basement of the hotel the Resistance made an opening, which lead to the Crystal Point. And because of this, they could reach the Catacombs without being spotted by the Dark Empire.
Catacombs
A massive structure, spanning as far as the entire city, lies below Crystal Tokyo. While it isn't completely certain why these were built when Crystal Tokyo was created, it received the title of the Catacombs. The dead weren't buried there, but it was carved with tunnels and outcroppings that could have served as such.
Regardless of its original reason for creation, it currently is being used by the Resistance. The outcroppings serve as sleeping quarters, and storage compartments.
Because there were only 6 entry points into the Catacombs, the five Crystal Points and the Palace, it was the most brilliant way to get across the city from point to point without being spotted by the Dark Empire as everyone was still able to enter the Crystal Points freely.
Unfortunately, the Dark Empire realized this after 19 years, and closed the buildings off, killing or capturing anyone that either entered or left the building.
With a stroke of luck on how the buildings stood, the South West Crystal Point, the Neptune Concert Hall, was right up next to a hotel. The hotel wasn’t closed off, so the few remaining members of the Resistance, together with the owner of the hotel, created a hole down in the basement where the walls of the two buildings connected.
This became the only entry and exit point to the Catacombs.
Now that the South Western point is free again the Neptune Concert Hall can be used as well.
The only entry point that hasn't been used in 50 years is the entrance to the Crystal Palace. When Neo Queen Serenity, Small Lady Serenity, and their courts gave up their powers the entire Palace was sealed off. Because of this no one, not even anyone of the Resistance, has set foot inside the Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace
The epitome of architectural design stands at the center of what was once the greatest capital of the world. Created of what appears to be pure crystal, the Crystal Palace towers over the highest buildings. It was the residence of the Royal Family, namely Neo Queen Serenity, King Endymion, and Princess Usagi Small Lady Serenity. The court of Neo Queen Serenity and Small Lady Serenity often resided in the palace as well, to protect the Queen, though they were able to live off on their own if they so wished it.
Back when the world was at peace the Palace was the center of love and tranquility. Now the structure appears cold and desolate to all those that lay their eyes upon it. No one knows that the palace isn’t deserted.
Inside the Princes and Princesses are suspended in ageless sleep in the highest tower. Trapped in crystal in the highest chamber they lay on stone altar like structures.
There are many doors in the Crystal Palace, all of which have been locked, some of which have never been opened, not even in the time of Neo Queen Serenity herself. They all stand at the end of a corridor, together with the Door of Space-Time.
The entrance to the Catacombs is only able to be unlocked from the inside of the Palace, but the above ground entrances of the Palace are all sealed off and will not unlock until all the evil has been vanquished.
Dark Crystal Palace
North of Crystal Tokyo, just beyond the northern Crystal Point, stands a massive structure, nearly a shadowy reflection of the crystal structure at the center of the city. The main difference is its color. It consists almost entirely of black crystals. This is the residence of the Dark Emperor, who now rules the Earth. No one has actually seen the Dark Emperor, just a massive shadow back when the Earth was conquered.
The Dark Crystal Palace is also the main base of organization for the Dark Empire, from here all commands are made. This is also where the Great Four reside most of the time.
Due to the power emitted by the Crystal Points, the Dark Crystal Palace couldn't be formed inside of the city.
