*********************************************************
My eyes filled with determination. My heart filled with hope. I feel a new energy inside. Is it a new power? A bright light, soft but gentle, strong and powerful... Or is it my heart breaking? My important friends are once again taken away. If I can't defeat her... It will be the end of everything. I can't... I can't let it end this way.
*********************************************************
That hateful light, I will put it out once and for all. I did not sell my soul to come this far, only to have everything taken out from under me.
"Galactic," I feel the energy surround me. It builds more, and more. I quickly glance over to the other two. 'Your time will come senshi. Soon you will be joining your queen...' "INFLATION!" I feel the energy surge through out my body. A powerful, massive force of my true power rush toward the light.
*********************************************************
Nani? A counter attack? How can she withstand my power? I have to fight harder. I won't let her win. I feel it. A new power inside me...
'Cosmos...' I feel a faint voice inside calling. 'Sailor Cosmos, It's time for you to reawaken...' My eyes closed. I feel my body glowing inside, brighter and brighter. Am I Sailor Cosmos?
A bright light shone between us. A beautiful lady stood suspended above the ground. A long, white cape flowed gently in the air. Matching white hair, put up in two heart-shaped odangos flowed into the cape. A long white staff with a crystal ball on top, was griped in her right hand.
*********************************************************
I feel my eyes narrow heavily, as the figure between us was revealed. Sailor Cosmos... the ultimate form of Sailor Moon.
*********************************************************
"Eternal Sailor Moon..." The lady calls to me. Her eyes look hopefully into mine. "Please help me... help me defeat Galaxia and destroy Chaos once and for all."
"Chaos?" I question looking intently to her.
*********************************************************
Damn it! I can't let them join together.
"I won't allow that to happen!" I grip my sword firmly, feeling the dark energy pulsate through it.
*********************************************************
"Please Sailor Moon." Came her last plead. "Don't let her win..." She trails off as a stream of dark energy shoots between us. I stumble back, taken by surprise. I see her hold her staff out in front of her tiring to hold off the attack. Neither of them backing down from their power.
"Sailor Moon.." Came a weak call from behind me. I look over to see Uranus and Neptune weakly pulling themselves to a stand. "Don't give up. We believe in you.." Came their last breath.
I then look over to the lady that stands between myself and Galaxia. I feel her losing power as the energy pushes further and further towards her. I have to do something. I won't let everyone down. 'Here I come... Cosmos...' I close my eyes as I feel my power surging through me. I hold out my staff in front of me, holding the same stance as Cosmos. I then feel my power join together with hers, as if we were one...
*********************************************************
Damn you Sailor Moon. Demmo, the light can't exist without the dark. 'Chaos-sama, I need more power. Lend me your power so I can end this.' Yes, the power I need to defeat you. It's coming, more and more as it fills my body. I feel absolute power throughout me. This is the end. The wars that have been repeating themselves over and over, since the creation of the galaxy, I will finally end the Sailor Wars...
Yes, more and more. I will take more and more from you, until one of you remains. Then, then I will tell you. I will tell you everything...
*********************************************************
I'm losing power. I feel my body weakening. Galaxia's power is increasing
more and more. Little by little a part of me
is being taken away from me. I can't... no... I will, I must. I won't let
her destroy me, and everything I have worked so hard to protect. I love
this world. I love this galaxy, the place where I was able to meet everyone...
Luna... Artimis... Diana... Rei... Minako... Makoto... Ami... Haruka... Michiru... Hotaru... Setsuna... Seiya... Taiki... Yaten... Kakyu Hime... Chibi Chibi... Chibi Usa... My sweet Mamo-chan...
A harsh scream of pain sounded, as a final blast struck hard against her. Silence... A trail of white feathers streamed throughout the air.
"Cosmos!" I call to her. My voice feeling faint, though I know I am yelling to her. Another part of me has been taken. I'm reduced to nothing, as I stand motionless before Galaxia. A haze fills over my eyes, as I feel my body go numb.
Laughter of victory echoed throughout the galaxy. For the first time, my power wasn't enough to save everyone. Gomen nasai minna... I couldn't protect this world... Gomen nasai... I wisper closing my eyes. I wake up feeling whole once more. I see a light... the darkness nis fading and I am reborn once more. Forever... Eternal... I am finally at peace.
