#chibi-usa

It seems the time has come when we shall find out who the true ruler of this planet is! Darkness calls to light and light also calls to darkness!

After school...

“So, the three of them are their respective castles?” Seiya echoed after Usagi informed Princess Kakyuu and the Three Lights about the three Outer Senshi's whereabouts.

“Hotaru too.” Chibi-Chibi chimed in. “She flew away with them.”

“Have you ever been to their castles?” Taiki asked.

“No,” Usagi admitted. “I've never been to their mother Planets. Because the girls were always here to protect me. I'm afraid something bad had happened to them. How long will it take us to reach the Outer Solar System?”

“We are close to their stars.” Princess Kakyuu spoke. “I'll guide you.” she unfurled her wings.

“Fighter Star Power!”

“Maker Star Power!”

“Healer Star Power!”

“Make Up!” the Sailor Starlights transformed.

“Chibi-Chibi Crystal Power, Make Up!” Chibi-Chibi followed suit.

“Silver Moon Crystal Power, Make Up!” Usagi called out her transformation.

“Let's go.” Sailor Star Fighter nodded and the six Senshi set off to the Outer Solar System with their wings.

On Miranda Castle...

“Uranus!” Eternal Sailor Moon called out.” Guardian Uranus! Uranus...?” she noticed the pile of dust on the floor before the computer console.

“Let's go to Neptune.” Princess Kakyuu suggested.

On Triton Castle...

“Neptune!” Eternal Sailor Moon shouted. “Guardian Neptune! There's no one here, either.” she whispered. “Just like in Uranus' castle. Could it be that the four of them...” she reached out to the pile of dust in front of the computer console.

On Charon Castle...

“Pluto!” Eternal Sailor Moon ran into the main control room. “Guardian Pluto! Saturn!”

Just then, the recording of Eternal Sailor Pluto's fight against Sailor Galaxia played on the main screen.

“Pluto... Saturn...” Eternal Sailor Moon was in shock, seeing Sailor Galaxia make quick work of the two strongest Outer Senshi. “No... if what she wants is my crystal, she should look for me. Why must she attack the others? I won't forgive her. Take me to Sagittarius Zero Star.” she requested.

“Sailor Moon, how do you know of Sagittarius Zero Star?” Princess Kakyuu was surprised.

“Galaxia mentioned it to me.” Eternal Sailor Moon replied.

Near Sagittarius Zero Star...

“That group of stacked stars is the centre of the galaxy and its central part, Sagittarius Zero Star, is where stars are born.” Princess Kakyuu explained. “All Star Seeds in the galaxy are created on Sagittarius Zero Star.”

“The fact that Shadow Galactica is there means that Galaxia aims to control the system of birth and death of all the stars in the galaxy.” Sailor Star Fighter reasoned.

“It is very likely.” Princess Kakyuu agreed. “Let's fly straight to Sagittarius Zero Star. Although there is no guarantee that we will and safely.”

“We are prepared.” Sailor Star Healer assured. “We know we are travelling through uncharted territories, Princess. What's more, we are right in the middle of the enemy's lair.”

Inside the gates of Sagittarius Zero Star...

The group found themselves on the banks of the Desert River of Oblivion.

“I am Lethe, the boatwoman of this sea of sand.” Sailor Lethe addressed the visitors on her ferry boat. “Come on in, foreigners.

On Sailor Lethe's boat...

Sailor Lethe ferried her passengers right in the middle of the Desert River of Oblivion before turning the sand into river water. Activating the river waters, she sent all six Senshi into the river.

In the bottom of the Desert River of Oblivion...

“Are those cats yours?” Sailor Lethe approached the blank-eyed Usagi, pointing down to the three Mau cats. “When you have cats and they die, it is very sad.” she picked up Luna, Artemis and Diana. “It's better to have none and be alone. Then, you can't stand being alone.” she mocked, seeing Usagi's memories cycle through the Senshi. “So, what kind of friends do you have?” she put the three cats down. “And do you have a lover?” sh pointed to Usagi's engagement ring. “Memories as a person don't have great value. Neither does your body. It's just a container. What's valuable for us is power.” she attacked the three cats with her bracelets.

In Crystal Tokyo...

“Mum, Dad.” Small Lady ran into her parents' room. “I haven't seen Diana anywhere for days. Where is she? Luna. Artemis.” she spotted the heaving Mau cats in the pet basket. “Their bodies... it can't be. It can't be that Diana disappeared.”

“Small Lady, Diana went to the past to investigate a space-time anomaly.” Neo-Queen Serenity revealed.

“Something bad happened to Diana.” Small Lady realized. “What is going on? Tell me please, Mother. Everyone.” she gasped, Neo-Queen Serenity leading her to the Crystal Palace's main hall where the Sailor Crystals of the Inner Senshi, Sailor Pluto and Neo-King Endymion were out of their bodies and shining. “Their crystals are flashing. Dad, Pluto. I have to go to the 20th century.” she told Neo-Queen Serenity, realizing something had happened in the past. “Just as Mom protects the 30th century, I must go help Sailor Moon. It's my duty. Pink Moon Crystal Power, Make Up! You are...” she blinked when the Sailor Quartet appeared from a rainbow-coloured portal.

“Sailor Ceres.”

“Sailor Pallas.”

“Sailor Juno.”

“Sailor Vesta.”

“I'm leaving, Mom.” Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon told her mother. “Please protect the 30th century.”

“Go beyond time and space, to the edge of the galaxy.” Neo-Queen Serenity handed a Time-Space Key to Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon. “You must go and see with your own eyes what is happening there.”

With Sailor Lethe...

“Every living being is born to die.” Sailor Lethe declared. “Galactica Myosotis Alpestris!” she fired her attack point blank at Usagi.

“Why are you trying to kill me?” Usagi whispered.

“Because you came here to lose it all.” Sailor Lethe answered. “Your name, your life, everything.”

“You're wrong.” Usagi muttered. “I have many important friends that I don't want to lose. My name and my life... they exist because of my friends, because of my loved ones. I'm not here to lose. I'm here to get them back.”

“At the bottom of this river of oblivion, nobody can beat me.” Sailor Lethe was certain. “Farewell, Sailor...”

“Stop, Lethe.” Sailor Mnemosyne pleaded, stopping her sister—Senshi from killing Usagi. “Sailor Moon is already badly injured. The last blow must be struck by Galaxia-sama.”

“Everyone.” Eternal Sailor Moon, having regained her memories, turned to the others.

“She recovered her memories while in the river of oblivion?” Sailor Lethe was shocked.

“Lethe, please stop now!” Sailor Mnemosyne begged, transporting the group back to the river bank.

“Are you going to be betray me, Mnemosyne?” Sailor Lethe demanded.

“I just don't want you to hurt a Sailor Senshi like you.” Sailor Mnemosyne pleaded. “This is the water of my river of memories.” she fed everyone the waters from the Desert River of Memory.

“I didn't come here to kill each other.” Eternal Sailor Moon told the two sister-Senshi. “I came to retrieve my friends' Sailor Crystals. Where are all the crystals?”

“They are not here.” Sailor Lethe replied. “This is the immense outer moat that serves as protection for Shadow Galactica; the desert river. “I am the guardian of the river of oblivion, Sailor Lethe from the Planet Lethe.”

“I am the guardian of the river of memories.” Sailor Mnemosyne introduced herself. “Sailor Mnemosyne from the Planet Mnemosyne.”

“Sailor Moon, I won't let you leave here alive.” Sailor Lethe declared. “Close your eyes if you don't want to see, Mnemosyne. Did you forget already? We swore to follow Galaxia to find our peace and happiness. Our Planets were small and poor and wars always fell on them. When Galaxia appeared in them, death and silence struck them. We had no choice but to serve her. But if we survive this war, and Galaxua conquers everything, a new future for both of us will surely come this time.”

“Peace and happiness will come, but the warrior of destruction cannot give them to you.” Princess Kakyuu argued.

“Don't you see?” Sailor Star Fighter reminded.

“Galaxia has murdered countless people.” Sailor Star Healer pointed out.

“She leaves only death and destruction in her wake.” Sailor Star Maker added.

“Then, can Sailor Moon guarantee us a future of peace and happiness?” Sailor Lethe asked. “A future without wars? Sailor Moon, your power is what causes conflict. As long as you exist, the battle will never end. Therefore, you are our enemy. I am sure that no matter who wins, the future will be the same. But if I put an end to this war, at least Mnemosyne and I will have peace and happiness. It's the only thing that matters to me.”

“If that will end the war, then kill me.” Eternal Sailor Moon offered herself up. “I, too, want to finish the battle, that's why I am here.” fighting to end the war; that is the wish of every Sailor Senshi. We all want the same thing.

“Please leave.” Sailor Mnemosyne requested, Sailor Lethe backing down.

“Even if we don't defeat you, whether you die here or not, the war won't end.” Sailor Lethe was resigned.

“They are stupid and useless.” Sailor Phi sneered.

Sailor Chi then took out Sailors Lethe and Mnemosyne with her blue flames.

Sailor Phi then directed her attack at Eternal Sailor Moon and Princess Kakyuu, only for the Sailor Starlights to jump in.

“Star Serious Laser!” Sailor Star Fighter released her rain of light beams.

“Star Gentle Uterus!” Sailor Star Maker added in her own attack.

“Star Sensitive Inferno!” Sailor Star Healer fired her energy ball.

Sailor Chi joined the stalemate, adding firepower to Sailor Phi's attack and taking out the Sailor Starlights. Snatching the three Sailor Crystals, Sailors Phi and Chi retreated.

Princess Kakyuu, Eternal Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi-Chibi continued on, flying towards the Galactica Palace.

In the Galactica Palace...

“Galaxia-sama, we apologize for Lethe and Mnemosyne's failure.” Sailor Phi reported.

“Here are their two Crystals.” Sailor Chi offered up the collected Sailor Crystals. “We also give you the Sailor Starlights' crystals.”

“It's beautiful, no matter how much you look at it.” Sailor Phi gushed at the glimmering Garden Crystal in the throne room. “The shine of Sailor Crystals from across the galaxy.”

“Soon, I will have the most powerful Crystal in the galaxy in my hands.” Galaxia crowed, as she watched Eternal Sailor Moon draw near. “When I join the Sapphire Crystal, which has the greatest destructive power, with Sailor Moon's Silver Moon Crystal, which has infinite regenerative power, I will become invincible. And the entire universe will be mine!”

“We will get the survivors' Crystals for you.” Sailor Chi assured. “Leave it in our hands.”

“Chaos-sama, the long-awaited moment has arrived.” Galaxia, having transformed into her Senshi form, went into the inner chambers to inform her master.

“It's finally time...” Chaos droned. “”To create a new universe.”

In the Star Garden...

Eternal Sailor Moon, Princess Kakyuu and Sailor Chibi-Chibi landed on the garden grounds which was littered with the gravestones of every Senshi Galaxia killed.

“This is where the pieces of dead stars arrive.” Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon stated, allowing a glowing butterfly to land on her finger. “And these butterflies are the last thing that remains of the stars' fire. The funeral procession of butterflies that spread across the galaxy never ends.”

“These tombs...” Princess Kakyuu turned and immediately spotted the Sailor Starlights' grave markers. “From the Sailor Starlights. It can't be.”

“Take a look.” Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon gestured. “In these lands, the flames of life continue to be extinguished. I wonder what colour the butterflies will be this time. Poor things.” she mocked, crucifying the three females in her crosses and tying them down with her vines. “It looks like you will all be next in the funeral procession. I am the last of the Sailor Animamates: Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon. I will give you the most beautiful and sad funeral. The unfortunate Messiah will die at the stake.” she set the glowing butterflies aflame. “Suffer the torture of fire.”

“Pink Ladies Freezing Kiss!” Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon and the Sailor Quartet entered the battle, freeing the three captives with their combination attack.

“Amazoness Jungle Arrow!” the Sailor Quartet took out Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon with their energy beam.

“We are also Sailor Senshi of the Solar System.” Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon reminded. “We came to help. Everyone fell in the 30th century. Their Sailor Crystals... they shine like a signal and everybody's bodies are about to disappear.”

“Sailor Galaxia attacked them.” Eternal Sailor Moon revealed. "Everyone's bodies are destroyed and their Crystals were stolen. Not only them, but also the Sailor Senshi of the entire galaxy. On the 30th century, their lives too... I will definitely recover everyone's Crystals and I will definitely return them to normal.”

“I thought you were fighting on Earth.” Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon sobbed. “But everyone was gone, and Luna, Artemis and Diana... they had also disappeared.”

“The moment we realized that you were already in the enemy's stronghold, suddenly a ray of light appeared and guided us.” Sailor Ceres added.

“It wasn't me.” Eternal Sailor Moon blinked. “I was guided here by Princess Kakyuu.”

“I don't have that power, either.” Princess Kakyuu remarked. “I don't have the capacity to perceive a power so far away on Earth. And even less being able to bring it to Sagittarius Zero Star, the centre of the galaxy.”

“And that tiny Senshi?” Sailor Ceres noticed Sailor Chibi-Chibi.

“This is Sailor Chibi-Chibi.” Eternal Sailor Moon introduced. “By the way, shouldn't 'Moon' be at the end of your name?” she wondered. “Just like Chibi-Usa, I think she came through space-time. Maybe she's your sister, Chibi-Usa?”

“I thought that each Queen of the Millennium can only have one female daughter.” Sailor Vesta noted.

“She isn't my second daughter?” Eternal Sailor Moon blinked. “So then, she must be Chibi-Usa's daughter. She just doesn't tell us anything. We don't know who she is nor what she came for. But we do know she is a Sailor Senshi like us.”

“She is not.” Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon refuted. “Who are you?”

“That's Galaxia's castle.” Eternal Sailor Moon turned to the Galactica Palace.

“Welcome to our Star Garden.” Sailors Phi and Chi declared. “We are the Star Gardeners.”

“Sailor Phi.”

“Sailor Chi.”

“Where are the Starlights' crystals?” Princess Kakyuu demanded. “Give them back to me.”

“New Sailor Crystals have arrived at Sagittarius Zero Star.” Sailor Phi noticed the new Senshi.

“We must obtain them.” Sailor Chi grinned.

“The crystals in our garden will be very happy.” the twins channelled power into their staves.

“Sailor Moon, I'll fight too.” Princess Kakyuu stepped up. “I am also a Sailor Senshi. Kinmoku Star Power, Make Up!” she transformed. “The guardian of the Planet Kinmoku, Sailor Kinmoku, will be your opponent. Starlights Royal Straight Flush!” she let loose her card wave attack, destroying the Garden Crystals containing the Sailor Starlight's Sailor Crystals.

“Galactica Plants Blizzard!” an infuriated Sailor Phi attacked Sailor Kinmoku.

“Kinmoku Fusion Tempest!” Sailor Kinmoku countered. “Do it now, Sailor Moon.”

“Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!” Eternal Sailor Moon took out Sailor Phi.

“Princess Kakyuu!” Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon shouted a a warning, which came too late when Sailor Chi took out Sailor Kinmoku with a stab to the back with her staff.

The Sailor Quartet fought off Sailor Chi as the two Moon Senshi and Sailor Chibi-Chibi hurried over to the dying Princess Kakyuu.

“If you all die, all useless battles and suffering will end.” Sailor Chi stated, sending the defeated Sailor Quartet to the ground. “For the sake of the universe, hand over the Silver Moon Crystal to our empire, Shadow Galactica.”

“I won't give you anything.” Eternal Sailor Moon stood her ground. “With the power of my Crystal, I will end this war. The Sailor Crystals are not to be used for destruction and war. They exist to bring peace and regeneration.” she took out Sailor Chi with her energy beam barrage. She was then alerted by a presence behind her.

“Sailor Moon!” Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon pushed her mother out of harm's way when Eternal Sailors Mercury and Jupiter fired energy blasts from their Galactica Bracelets. The attack, however, incinerated Princess Kakyuu and Eternal Sailor Venus claimed the Kinmoku Sailor Crystal. “Your next opponents will be us, Sailor Moon.” she declared as the Solar System Senshi presented themselves.

Tuxedo Kamen had also stepped out from behind a pillar. “Kill her.” he ordered. “And bring me the Silver Moon Crystal.”

“We will be the first.” Eternal Sailors Mercury and Mars stepped up.

“Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!”

“Mars Flame Sniper!”

The Sailor Quartet took the two attacks for Eternal Sailor Moon.

“They've being controlled by those bracelets.” Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon realized. “If we remove them, they will return to... Chibi-Chibi?” she looked at the smaller Senshi who merely shook her head. “These visions...” she breathed, Sailor Chibi-Chibi sending her images of Mamoru and the Senshi dying. “They turned into dust in an instant.”

“I'll be next.” Eternal Sailor Jupiter jumped in. “Jupiter Oak Evolution!” the attack hit Eternal Sailor Moon head on.

“They are the enemy.” Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon reminded. “They are copies created by Galaxia.”

“It can't be.” Eternal Sailor Moon was in denial. “These powers belong to the girls. They are alive.”

“We have been reborn again.” Eternal Sailor Pluto concurred. “Chronos Typhoon!” she hit Eternal Sailor Moon.

“Galaxia-sama, grant me your power.” Eternal Sailor Uranus stepped up. “Galactica Space Turbulence!” she struck Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon with her attack.

“It's not the girls...” Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon insisted. “Remember it. The girls' bodies were pulverised by Galaxia.”

“But the girls are there.” Eternal Sailor Moon argued. “They are in front of us, fighting.”

“It's because it's not the real girls.” Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon yelled. “They were revived with the power of Galaxia. They came here to kill us.”

“Now it's my turn.” Eternal Sailor Saturn summoned her Silence Glaive. “Galactica Glaive Surprise!”

Sailor Chibi Chibi blocked off the attack with an energy shield.

“You're so much work, little sparrows.” Eternal Sailor Neptune tsked. “Your next opponent will be me. Galactica Violon Tide!”

This time, it was Eternal Sailor Moon who deflected the attack.

“Galactica Cannon!” Eternal Sailors Saturn and Pluto combined their powers and fired an energy orb encased in a red helix at the three Senshi, the attack breaking through Sailor Chibi-Chibi's barrier.

“Venus Love and Galactica Shock!” Eternal Sailor Venus released her attack at the two Moon Senshi, forcing Eternal Sailor Moon to deflect the attack.

“Galactica Gale!” the four Inner Senshi blocked Eternal Sailor Moon from chasing after Tuxedo Kamen and forcing the Moon Senshi to block off the attack.

“Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!” Eternal Sailor Moon went on the offensive.

“This is power of the 'most powerful crystal in the galaxy'?” Eternal Sailor Venus mocked, absorbing the attack. “It is but a small breeze.”

The Solar System Senshi now surrounded Eternal Sailor Moon. “Galactica Planet Attack!” the combination attack destroyed the Eternal Tiare and Eternal Sailor Moon defeated.

“Did you lose your wings?” Tuxedo Kamen taunted.

“Don't.” Sailor Chibi-Chibi held Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon back. “This fight is Sailor Moon's, that's why... the future of the galaxy is at stake. She must do it. Please, you must believe in Sailor Moon.”

“Give her the final blow.” Tuxedo Kamen ordered.

“Silver Moon Crystal Power Therapy Kiss!” Eternal Sailor Moon reformed the Eternal Tiare, the powered-up attack took out the Solar System Senshi.

Tuxedo Kamen reclaimed the eight Senshi's Sailor Crystals and retreated deeper into the Galactica Palace.

In the throne room of the Galactica Palace...

“My golems were very well made, weren't they?” Sailor Galaxia greeted the arriving Eternal Sailor Moon. “I am the Sailor Senshi of Destruction, Sailor Galaxia. Welcome to my castle. Even when hurt or wingless...” she mused. “is it your hatred for me that keeps you this beautiful and powerful?”

“It's not hate that fills me with power.” Eternal Sailor Moon replied. “it is faith in the power of a Sailor Senshi. I believe in them because they always give me strength. And I believe in my own power that allowed me to get here. I will definitely save my friends. Because I think we will live together again. Because I believe in the future that we will forge together.”

“A future with your loved ones?” Sailor Galaxia snorted as Tuxedo Kamen walked to her side and tenderly kissed her cheek, her chest, before lowering himself to kiss her boots. “This man and all the power in the galaxy are all mine.” she bragged, kicking Tuxedo Kamen to the ground. “And if you want to get them back, you'll have to fight me.”

“I'll show you that I'll end this once and for all.” Eternal Sailor Moon accepted the challenge.

Sailor Galaxia made the first move, firing off homing energy balls at Eternal Sailor Moon who was forced to dodge the energy orbs.

“Galactica Inflation!” having cornered Eternal Sailor Moon in a corridor, she fired her energy sphere at her opponent.

“Silver Moon Crystal Power Therapy Kiss!” Eternal Sailor Moon countered.

“Chibi-Chibi...” Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon blinked as Sailor Chibi-Chibi raised a shield to block off the energy shockwaves caused by the two warring Senshi's attacks. “You already knew about this battle, didn't you? Chibi-Chibi, who are you really?”

Sailor Galaxia overpowered Eternal Sailor Moon and tackled her to the ground. “I was born on a trash Planet, scum just like the rest.” she proceeded to choke the Moon Senshi. “The days were hell. I wandered in solitude. Until one day, my Sailor Senshi powers suddenly activated. That was my awakening. I had been chosen. But being a common Sailor Senshi was like being equal to those other scums. I had to be the most powerful Senshi on the most powerful Planet. I searched for one for a long time; a star that was worthy of me. Until I found that wonderful Planet. But to seize it, I needed the greatest power in the galaxy.”

Eternal Sailor Moon frowned and kicked Sailor Galaxia away. “The power of a Sailor Senshi... it exists to defend peace and justice in the galaxy.” she declared. “And to take care of our friends and loved ones.”

“Love?” Sailor Galaixa mocked. “Friendship? Only garbage gathers in droves. The only thing we can believe in is our own strength; in the Sailor Crystals, the source of power. There is all there is to it! Even the fallen Senshi; if you have their Crystals, you can easily revive them. And they are also so fragile that they can be broken just as easily. Everything you believe in is nothing more than a passing illusion. Do you really plan to continue believing in that nonsense? In love and friendship, future and that garbage?”

“You, the Senshi of Destruction, could not understand it.” Eternal Sailor Moon snapped. “Friends and loved ones; their bodies and their words have immense power. The reason I made it this far, that I was able to survive and I was able to fight like a Sailor Senshi; it's all because of my companions and the person I love. That's what it means to be a Sailor Senshi.”

Growling, Sailor Galaxia teleported the giant Garden Crystal and Tuxedo Kamen away before retreating.

In the Galaxy Cauldron...

“The sacred place of the stars.” Sailor Galaxia told Eternal Sailor Moon. “The Galaxy Cauldron. The strong, the weak, the trash and the Sailor Senshi; this is where all the stars in the galaxy are born. This is the most suitable scenario for the last chosen one to stand on. This is where everything is born and where everything dies.” she summoned the Garden Crystal and Tuxedo Kamen to her side and sent the Garden Crystal into the Galaxy Cauldron. “With this, all the Sailor Crystals have melted and disappeared into the sea where they were born. What a wonderful emotion. This Cauldron is the strongest star in the universe.”

“I won't forgive you.” Eternal Sailor Moon hissed, realizing that her last chance of retrieving the Senshi's Sailor Crystals was gone.

“That's right.” Sailor Galaxia crowed, blocking Eternal Sailor Moon's enraged attack. “Raise more flames of anger and a storm of hatred. Feel alone, Sailor Moon. That feeling will awaken the infinite power within you.” with tap of her fist, she knocked Tuxedo Kamen into the Galaxy Cauldron. “And when you hear the truth that Chaos will reveal to you, your power will go out of control and you'll wipe Chaos along with yourself. And at that moment, I, Galaxia, will become the owner of the Cauldron.

The second Tuxedo Kamen dropped into the Galaxy Cauldron, Eternal Sailor Chibi-Moon also faded away.

“You, too, will become food for Chaos, Sailor Moon.” Sailor Galaxia grinned as Eternal Sailor Moon's power exploded. “Galactica Super String! Impossible.” she gaped when Sailor Chibi-Chibi blocked the attack. “Chaos-sama.” she turned to the emerging Chaos. “I will soon hand you over to the most powerful Senshi, Sailor Moon.” her gloat was cut off when Chaos attacked her from behind.

Eternal Sailor Moon reached out and pulled Sailor Galaxia into Sailor Chibi-Chibi's energy shield.

“That white glow...” Chaos groaned. “The most powerful light in the universe... finally, it came towards me. I am Chaos; the being that could not be a star and who controls all the stars of darkness in the Cauldron. Young lady, you inherited from this Cauldron a beautiful power of light. And your sisters, born from the same sea, the stars of evil darkness, you made them disappear with your own hands. A galaxy that emits the power of light. Personifications of evil that wandered the galaxy searching for the power of light. Those who you made disappear, they were all part of me. It was your destiny to come here. Where there is light, there is darkness. Darkness calls to light and light calls to darkness. We are meant to attract each other because in the beginning, we were all one. And now, the time has come for the light and darkness to come together again. Sailor Moon, the most powerful Senshi in the galaxy, give me your power now. The time has come for my long-awaited wish to come true.”

“Why did you save me?” Sailor Galaxia demanded. “Finish me. Chaos never even took me into account. I can't beat a being so big. This wasn't my place in the universe, either.”

“I extended my hand to you because I saw my loneliness reflected in you.” Eternal Sailor Moon told Sailor Galaxia. “Because I don't want to lose any more companions.”

“I am your enemy.” Sailor Galaxia shouted. ''This is war.”

“I can't keep fighting anymore because all my loved ones disappeared.” Eternal Sailor Moon admitted. “I never fought for love and justice. I always fought for my loved ones. But, it's all gone now. I lost the most precious things to me. I don't have anything. So what should I fight for and for whom?”

“Neither of us can keep fighting.” Sailor Galaxia was resigned. “All the Sailor Senshi have disappeared. This is the end of the war.”

“No.” Sailor Chibi-Chibi refuted. “The war is not going to end; it will continue forever. So, with your hands, this time for good, end the battle now; to save the future of the galaxy. Sailor Moon, with the last of your power, eliminate Chaos and the Cauldron and end this war. Chaos has become one with the Cauldron. To completely finish it off, you must destroy the Cauldron.”

“If the Cauldron disappears, no more stars will be born.” Eternal Sailor Moon pointed out. “Someday, the galaxy will disappear.”

“If you don't, this story of battle and suffering will continue forever.” Sailor Chibi-Chibi reminded. “It's your responsibility, you can't deny it. If you don't do it now, you'll regret it eventually, Sailor Moon. It cannot be helped. It's the only way to bring peace to the galaxy. It is all we can do.”

“Even if this galaxy disappears, a new Cauldron will surely arise somewhere.” Sailor Galaxia related. “The future has begun and it is possible that light and darkness will also be born. The fight will not end so easily.”

“A new future will always continue to be born.” Eternal Sailor Moon agreed. “There will be light and darkness, war and hope, life and death, happiness and sadness. I'm sure there will be all that, because that's what makes the universe.”

Finally, I found my star... but I can't reach it. Sailor Galaxia reached out for Eternal Sailor Moon, her Galactica Bracelets shattered and turning her into dust.

“Chibi-Chibi, I'm not going to give up.” Eternal Sailor Moon told Sailor Chibi-Chibi. “Because they taught me one thing.” she took the Sapphire Crystal that was left behind. “At the end of every fight, there is hope and a future. I am going to create a future with them. As long as the stars keep shining, we'll be fine. We are not going to lose.”

At Eternal Sailor Moon's assurance, Sailor Chibi-Chibi reverted back to her real form; Sailor Cosmos.

“You're right.” Sailor Cosmos concurred. “We won't lose. Because we are Sailor Senshi.”

“Sailor Moon, this Cauldron will be your grave.” Chaos declared. “Chaos, the most powerful star in the universe, is being born right now.”

I understand now. Eternal Sailor Moon mused, realizing why her past enemies had targeted her. Why you were all seeking my power. It's the same reason why I'm looking for the love of my life and my friends; it's the same feeling. Deep down, we are all lonely stars. That is why we seek out others and want to be one with them. That's our original way. Therefore, now I'm coming for you. She leapt into the Galaxy Cauldron. I will hug you inside this Cauldron to save everything. Sailor Crystals: Sailor Senshi who sleep inside the Cauldron. She prayed. Also, companions who are scattered throughout the galaxy, please lend me your strength. “Silver Moon Crystal Eternal Power!” she called out.

“Are you trying to destroy my body?” Chaos roared, the attack erupted from within its body. “Stop!” he yelled, Eternal Sailor Moon's final attack taking him out and igniting the entire Milky Way.

The Sailor Quartet had also rushed to the Galaxy Cauldron.

“Incredible.” Sailor Pallas gawked at the towering golden light pillar. “What is this torrent of light?”

“The Crystals stolen by Galaxia.” Sailor Cosmos answered. “The Sailor Senshi Crystals are returning to their original forms and they are returning to their Planets. They are Star Seeds newly born from the Cauldron. By the time they reach their final destination, they will have already grown and recovered their old shape.”

“Did Sailor Moon sacrifice herself using the Silver Moon Crystal?” Sailor Ceres asked.

“No.” Sailor Cosmos replied. “This regenerative power... it was possible because all the crystals in the galaxy were gathered and became one. That is the ultimate power of the Cosmos Crystal: the Lambda Power. I am Sailor Cosmos.” she introduced herself to the Sailor Quartet.

“Are you... the future version of Sailor Moon?” Sailor Ceres gasped.

“Sailor Cosmos, where is our Princess?” Sailor Juno inquired.

“Stay calm.” Sailor Cosmos soothed. “Your Princess has been reborn, along with all the others. Sooner or later, she will climb that stream of light and she will return safely to the 30th century. This is where stars are born and where they eventually return. Chaos, the source of all our enemies, was here. Sailor Moon was merged with it in an effort to absorb it and both of them melted in the primordial sea within the Cauldron. Thanks to the power of Sailor Moon, the Cauldron and the galaxy have recovered their original shape. Still, Chaos could not be completely eradicated. I come from a distant future. I abandoned everything and escaped here. I'm just a coward. Massacres that are repeated forever in the future... a long painful battle with Sailor Chaos... Sailor Chaos is powerful and difficult to defeat. The battle continued for a long time. The damage suffered and the price paid were too high. I couldn't understand anymore... what she was fighting for... what was the right thing to do. Every time I doubted or felt lost, I remembered this fight I had right here. I kept thinking that if she destroyed the Cauldron, the battle could have been avoided. I regretted it so many times that I decided to come here. I crossed time and space; I was trying to make my old self choose the right path, but now I understand. The path I had chosen was not the wrong one. No one can erase the place where the stars are born. Because it exist here, we can continue living. I can try it all again... I won't run away anymore.” she collected her resolve. “I can move forward now because Sailor Moon gave me great strength. The power of courage to abandon everything and the power of courage to accept everything. Sailor Moon's appearance is that of the real Sailor Cosmos. Then, just like her,” she summoned her wings. “That's when I'll become the true Sailor Cosmos. You too must go back to the person you have to protect.” she sent the Sailor Quartet on their way before returning to her own time.

Inside the Galaxy Cauldron...

“Usa.” Mamoru reached out a hand to the awakened Usagi.

“Usagi!” the Solar System Senshi all ran over to the reunited couple.

“it's all thanks to your power, Usa.” Mamoru kissed Usagi's hand.

“What a strong glow.” Guardian Cosmos' voice came from a rainbow-coloured light orb above the group. “It's amazing that you can retain your perfect form inside the Cauldron.”

“You are...” Usagi blinked when Guardian Cosmos made her appearance.

“I am Guardian Cosmos.” Guardian Cosmos introduced herself. “The protector of the Cosmos Seed. A long time ago, there was a bright star that came here in perfect form just like you, hugging the shell of a tiny star. That star had the same strong shine as yours, Sailor Moon. So, the fact that you came to me means that you threw yourself into the primordial sea of the Cauldron. Does that mean you want to start life as a new star? Or do you prefer to leave this place in your current form?”

“We want to continue living together like this forever.” Usagi answered. “I want to continue creating a future together with everyone. I want to live this life, no matter how hard it is.”

With a serene smile, Guardian Cosmos sent the group on their way.

“Guardian Cosmos, what happened to Chaos?” Usagi shouted.

“The core of Chaos melted into the primordial sea.” Guardian Cosmos replied. “It's so small, I can't even find it now. Maybe, one day it will be reborn again. Stars are born here because this is the place where possibilities arise.”
