Galaxia's Revenge, Chapter 4 **************************************************************************** In the dark enormous hall, her face only illuminated by the quick flashes of the angry lightning, Sailor Galaxia stared at the horrified scouts. She took pleasure in their shock and hopelessness that emanated from then, and laughed deeply. "At last, just as I planned, the Sailor Senshi groveling with fear before me." Sailor Galaxia said smugly. "I will defeat all of you, and reclaim what has been rightfully mine since the beginning of time! Before long, all will learn, that revenge is a dish best served cold!" Sailor Galaxia fixed the Senshi a cold, evil stare, waiting to see what they would do next. "No! This galaxy was never yours! It belongs to all those who were born here! It is also the place where stars are made, and where they can shine the brightest they can!" said Eternal Sailor Moon, walking up to her. Her face, stained with dried tears, looked sorrowfully at the Golden Senshi. "We will never surrender to the likes of you, JUPITER OAK...EVOLUTION!" shouted out Sailor Jupiter, jumping in front of Sailor Moon protectively. A wreath appeared in her hands, and she shot forth a flurry of electrified and razor sharp leaves filled with destructive energy. Galaxia laughed as she raised her right hand. A shield suddenly appeared before her, and when Jupiter's powers struck it, the energy merely absorbed into it. "Is that all you got, tough one?" she asked, her lips smirking. Galaxia raised her arms with the golden bracelets clasped around her wrist. The bright red jewel began on the top of her heavy gold crown began to glow brightly along with her bracelet, and the same electric powers that Jupiter used was shot back out of it as the Jovian senshi looked on in shock. Just at the last second, Galaxia aimed for the ceiling that was directly on top of the sailor senshi. It blasted through the ceiling, leaving a gaping hole and sending bricks and concrete falling down everywhere. Sailor Jupiter grabbed Sailor Moon quickly, jumped away just as a large piece of ceiling came crashing down. It crashed heavily on the spot that they just occupied, leaving a giant dent in the floor. Sailor Jupiter quickly stood back up, and looked up at Galaxia with pure disbelief. "That was only a small taste of what I am about to do to you!" sneered Sailor Galaxia. She raised her hands once again, and shot forth another blast from her gold bracelet. The floor the senshi was standing on turned to liquid ooze, holding their feet in place and making it impossible for them to move. Sailor Moon raised her Eternal Tier over her head. "You won't win this one Galaxia!! STARLIGHT HONEYMOON..THERA...." Sailor Galaxia narrowed her eyes, and shot out a laser beam from her eyes that knocked Eternal Sailor Moon's weapon out of her hand, sending it flying across the large room. Sailor Moon gasped in surprise as she struggle to remain standing. "I can't move!" grunted Sailor Sirius, struggling with the others. "What are we going to do? We have to stop her!", she said to Sailor Mercury, hoping she would have a plan or suggestion. Mercury looked helplessly at her. Suddenly, and idea came to Sirius. "Wait a minute, I don't think she remembers I have a weapon too!" she thought to herself. Sailor Sirius placed her hand behind her back so that Galaxia could not see. She concentrated hard, and the scepter appeared in her hand like a loyal friend. Sirius smiled, gave Galaxia a sly look, "Hey, Galaxia!" she yelled. The golden figure looked at her in surprise and annoyance, "You know what? You've got one BAD attitude! SIRIUS SCEPTER...ILLUMINATE!!" The intense beam of white light shot out from the scepter and struck the red jewel in the middle of Sailor Galaxia's crown. The golden senshi screamed in frustration and pain as the power of the jewel was disrupted. The floor once more turned hard under the Senshi's feet as they turned toward Galaxia and went into a fighting stance. "Not bad for being pathetic, huh?" asked Sailor Sirius, looking up with the other Senshi and pointing her scepter at Galaxia's chest. "BAKA HUMANS!" screamed out Galaxia, rubbing the sides of her aching head. "I will not lose what is mine to some sniveling girls!" She turned to the other three watching figures that were besides her. "KILL THEM!! KILL THEM ALL!!!" Her eyes glowed red with bitterness and anger as she tried to collect herself and regain her strength. Sailor Lethe rushed forward, heading straight for Sailor Uranus. "Surrender now, or face an unbearable death!!" she yelled. Uranus barely ducked her head in time to keep it from getting smash by the large staff Lethe was swinging at her. "I don't think so!" shot back Sailor Uranus. "URANUS...SPACE SWORD BLASTER!" She made a slice in the air with her Talisman, and the golden arch that appeared raced toward Lethe. Sailor Lethe raised her staff to strike again, but as she did, the power sliced through it, leaving Lethe defenseless. Suddenly, there was a scream, and Sailor Uranus, forgetting her opponent for the moment, turned to see Sailor Moon falling to the floor. Tuxedo Kamen stood over her, his cane poised at her throat and ready to end it all. Sailors Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Mars, were badly beaten and wounded on the floor, defeated as they were trying to protect their princess from her one-time lover. "OH NO! Sailor Moon! We have to help her!" gasped Super Sailor Sirius, stopping her fight she was sharing with the Outer Senshi and Star Lights against Sailor Mnemosyne. She started to run over to Sailor Moon, but Neptune grabbed her from behind. "No! She has to do this on her own! Only the love that they have for each other can break Galaxia's spell. It's all up to her now!" Neptune said as Sirius struggled to get out of her grasp. "She will never succeed!" sneered Mnemosyne as she tried to pick herself up from the floor after being blasted by Sailor Star Fighter's power. She stood up painfully and watched to see what would happen. "Mamo-chan! It's me, Usako!" pleaded Sailor Moon as she struggled to sit up on the floor. A wound bled on the side of her head. "Please remember everything that we have went through! Remember how much we loved each other! Remember Chibi-Usa, and the fun times we had with her!" Tears spilled down her cheeks. Sailor raised herself up to her knees, and reached down inside her fuku shirt to pull out a small necklace. "Look! Mamoru! It's the unicorn necklace that you gave me on our second date! I have kept it ever since. Please touch it with me, and say that you remember!" begged Sailor Moon, agony in her eyes. Tuxedo Kamen's eyes began to flicker behind the black mask as the names began to register in his head. In a half second of confusion, he reached for the necklace to touch it. Immediately, like a flash of lightning, bits and piece odd memories and feelings flowed through his brain, which only confused him more. "What's....going on?" he asked. He dropped his cane, and held his head in his hands. "Enough of this foolishness!" yelled out Sailor Galaxia. "I have planned this for too long to have stupid mortals defeat ME! Me, who has destroyed countless worlds and brought more powerful galaxies down to it's knees!" Her eye's flashed red again as she pointed a finger at the Senshi. "I SAID TO DESTROY THEM NOW!" "But.... but this is wrong!" said Tuxedo Kamen in confusion, looking from Galaxia to the scouts. "These can't be the evil ones who you said stole your galaxy!" For some reason unknown to him, he stood protectively in front of Eternal Sailor Moon. Suddenly, the scout leader let out a frightened scream as Sailor Galaxia gave an angry shriek, and shot out a beam of energy from her eyes at Tuxedo Kamen, knocking him out cold. Sailor Moon quickly got up and ran over to him. Kneeling down, she gently laid Tuxedo Kamen's head in her lap, softly calling his name. "Hold it!" Sailor Mnemsosyne suddenly appeared before Galaxia, stopping her from blasting Tuxedo Kamen again. "Just what do you mean, "destroyed countless worlds?" " she demanded. "You told us THEY where the ones who destroyed our world, and subdued this galaxy!" She indicated the senshi and turned back to Galaxia, her four thick braids swinging. "She lied! She was only trying to use you to bring out her evil plans!" said Super Sailor Sirius, helping Sailor Moon stand as the one time Moon Princess took her love's head out of her lap, and gently laid him down. "She lied to you and everyone else!" "She's right!" continued Sailor Star Maker, stepping up forward along Sailor Star Fighter. "She destroyed our home, and everything we loved and treasured! Because of her, we nearly lost our princess, whom we swore to find on this planet and protect!" "Galaxia also plans to destroy you when she thinks she has destroyed us!" finished Star Fighter. "She doesn't care about you, she cares only for herself and collecting as many Star Seeds as she can get!" The Starlight fixed the two women a sympathetic look. "I'm sure she destroyed your home planet just like she destroyed ours." Sailors Mnemosyne and Lethe fixed Galaxia a look of pure hatred. "MONSTER!" shouted Mnemosyne, "You destroyed our lives!" In her anger, Mnemosyne started blasting away at Galaxia with her staff, but Galaxia just laughed as the power was merely absorbed into her body. Sailor Lethe ran up to scratch out her eyes, but Galaxia slapped her away, knocking her into Mnemosyne. Both fell heavily onto the floor. "Fools! Who do you think gave you your powers! Now you will all feel the wrath of my revenge with your dying breathes! DIE, ALL OF YOU!" screamed out Sailor Galaxia, laughing evilly as she powered up to give her death blow. "NO, this is IT Galaxia! It ends here and now!" yelled out Eternal Sailor Moon. She closed her eyes and concentrated, and her Eternal Tier flew back in her hands. "Your time is up Galaxia, and I only have one message for you: Get out off our Galaxy!!" She turned to the Senshi warriors standing with her. "Scouts, we have to combine our powers!" Sailor Moon raised her weapon high in the air, "STARLIGHT..HONEYMOON THERAPY KISS!" Each of the scouts nodded, then raised her henshin stick in the air: "MERCURY AGUA RHAPSODY!" "VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!" "MARS FLAME SNIPER!" "JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION "SATURN SILENCE GLAIVE!" "URANUS SPACE SWORD BLASTER!" "NEPTUNE SUBMARINE VIOLIN TIDE!" "SIRIUS...KISS OF DEATH, CAPTIVATION!" "SERIOUS STAR LASER!" "STAR GENTLE UTERUS!" "SCOUT POWER!!!" the whole team shouted after they called forth their powers. All was silent for a moment as auras in respect to their senshi colors surrounded each of the girls. A bright white light suddenly erupted out of their bodies from their souls, and joined together in a gigantic mass of energy above them. The light grew brighter and brighter as Sailor Galaxia, shielding her eyes from the brightness, looked on in horror. From outside, light shot forth from the many windows in the tall building. The ball of energy then shot forth a massive beam of light, and it hit the Golden Senshi dead on. Sailor Mnemosyne and Sailor Lethe slowly and painfully got up, and raising their staff, shot forth their power along with the senshi. Suddenly, the brooch on the bow of Sailor Moon began to glow. It opened, and the Legendary Ginzuishou shot forth it's own powerful energy. The senshi all gasped in shock as they looked to Sailor Moon, knowing that if their leader used the power too long, she would perish. "NOO! It can't be!! This galaxy is MINE!!!! MI..." Galaxia never got to finish as she screamed in pain, then was slowly disintegrating. The senshi watched her slowly disappear until nothing but the bones were left, then turned to dust just as her echo was dying out. The bright white light suddenly dimmed, and the Sailor Senshi and Star Lights collasped on the ground in sheer exhaustion. After a moment, the girls pulled themselves together, and slowly began to get up. Sailor Venus's eyes shot wide open as she looked at the former evil Senshi. "Look! The bracelets!" she said as she pointed. The golden bracelets around the two women and Tuxedo Kamen's wrists started to crumble off them, and when it hit the ground, it turned to dust. "This means that you're free from Sailor Galaxia!" said Super Sailor Sirius joyfully, then looked down sadly at Tuxedo Kamen as Sailor Moon knelt down beside him to stroke his cheek. Sailor Mnemosyne walked over to Tuxedo Kamen and slowly knelt down on one knee. "Drink. Drink from the River of Memories, and remember your loved one!" She outstretched her hands, and magically, water appeared As the water touched his lips, Tuxedo Kamen drank heavily. After a moment, he moan painfully, then opened his dark blue eyes. The young man smiled at Sailor Moon. "Usako! There you are my odango!" he said teasingly. The other scouts laughed hard at the nick-name, but Sailor Moon was too happy to care as she kissed her Mamo-Chan. Sailors Lethe and Mnemosyne stood next to each other, then smiled to themselves in satisfaction. Raising their staff, they nodded one last time to the group, "Thank you, Sailor Senshi of the Sol System." they said softly together. "You've shown us the truth, and for that, we are greatful. Good-bye!" Lethe said, then winked at them all. With a shimmer in the air, the Senshi of Memory and her sister vanished. A moment later, a bright light suddenly appeared. When it dimmed, a small young transparent figure appear before them. Sailor Star Fighter looked up in shock, then gasped when he recognized the figure with red hair. "PRINCESS KAKYUU!" she said in glee. The other Star Lights bowed, tears streaming down their faces. "Yes, my loyal warriors, but I am only an projection of myself right now. I cannot come forth in my true form because Chaos and Galaxia are still a threat." She looked down sorrowfully at the Star Lights. "But do not give up hope. You have dealt a powerful blow to her, and soon, we will be together. Be strong, my brave warriors!" With a sigh, the beautiful figure disappeared. "We will Princess, we will!" whispered Star Fighter. After a moment of silence, Super Sailor Sirius walked over and laid a hand on her shoulder. "So that was your princess, huh?" she asked. Star Fighter nodded, and wiped away a tear. There was suddenly the sound of movement from the other people as they began to moan and wake up. Sailor Uranus took that as a sign everyone was alright, and prepared to leave. "Come on everyone! Unless we want to answer unwanted question, let's go!" The other Senshi nodded, then made a quick exit. The Star Lights headed for the back room to get Sailor Star Healer, then also exited the building just as the police arrived. ****************************************************************************
