Chapter One: Chaos and Metallia's Seal is Broken! Old Enemies Reawaken
Beryl woke up in surprise. She had no idea what she was doing in the middle of a vast, dismal, and snowy landscape. The snow she was laying on was penetrating, for she was only wearing a small purple and beige dress and brown sandals. Her dark purple hair blew in her face as the wind howled. It was a struggle to stand up and look around. As her shaky legs regained balance, she wondered how long she was sleeping there. She wondered where she would go and where she was exactly.
"W-here am I? It's cold as hell!"
A raspy and decayed voice responded out of nowhere, making Beryl flinch and turn around as she trudged through the snow.
"You are at D-point…Beryl…"
Beryl was terrified. First she woke up in a barren wasteland, and now a strange voice knew her name. She responded to the voice, through all her shaking and quivering.
"W-who are you? How do know my name?"
The voice laughed, "Ah…Beryl…I see you don't remember me…" it paused, "We used to work together…I was your great ruler…"
"Great ruler…I've heard that before."
"Metallia…I am…Metallia…"
"M-Metallia…the great evil energy source that created sunspots on the sun."
"Beryl…I was once as grandiose as you say…but now I am dying, decaying…I need your help…"
"Why would I want to help you? I don't even know what I have to do!" Beryl was hesitant to help her. But she was surely going to die in this insidious cold, and maybe Metallia could help her out too. So she asked, "Wh-what do I have to do…y-your majesty…"
"If I can take form in your body… I can regain some of my strength…but you also need to find the five star crystals hidden on earth…and if you do all that for me…"
"And if I do all that…" Beryl knew something would come out of helping her, and she was eager to know what she would get out of it. "What do I get out of this?"
"I will make it so you won't be affected by this cold, and I can win you the heart of… Prince Endymion."
"Endymion!" Beryl gasped. She had loved Endymion, but that bitch Princess Serenity had taken him away from her, she thought. She was desperate to win the heart of Endymion, so she said without thinking, "Queen Metallia, I bow down to you and I will find all five of the star crystals. I will let you enter my body so you can regain your health."
"Lovely…" responded Queen Metallia. With that, she managed to make herself visible into a purple and black mass, and swiftly entered Beryl's body through her forehead and chest.
For Beryl, Metallia entering her body was the most agonizing feeling she had ever felt. She screamed in pain as Metallia's energy swarmed her body, and fell to the ground. She felt as if all her happy thoughts were leaving her mind, and were being replaced with thoughts of negativity and killing Princess Serenity, as well as everyone else on Earth, except Endymion. Her vision went from blurry to darkness, and she lost consciousness.
It seemed to have been hours since she lost consciousness when Beryl woke up. But she wasn't Beryl anymore. She didn't remember anything that had happened previously, except for her pledge to help Metallia and love Endymion. She had long, wavy fire-red hair that reached her waist. She was wearing a form-fitting dark purple dress. She was also wearing a silver armlet bracelet and had two small horns on her shoulders. On her forehead was a crest, shaped like a black, upside down boomerang, and had a turquoise stone wrapped in gold strips. Her fingernails were very pointy and were painted dark red. She wasn't cold anymore. Queen Metallia had transformed her back into Queen Beryl.
Since she was now Queen Beryl, she knew the way the Dark Kingdom. As she was heading to the entrance, she heard Metallia in her head say, "You can't complete everything alone…"
Sailor Moon had told Sailor Galaxia she should start over. So that's what she did. Sailor Galaxia had been living a normal life on her planet Galaxia, but as she stood in a field of golden yellow flowers, she was beginning to suspect something terrible would happen. Ever since she had been getting a feeling that something bad would happen ever since a few days ago, she was beginning to grow nervous that Chaos's seal was breaking, along with other evil forces.
"Sailor Moon…" Sailor Galaxia whispered to her self, " I may waste this second chance you gifted me with."
And with those words every flower around her shriveled and died, the light blue sky turned to a blood red, and the wind started blowing rapidly. The wind picked up Sailor Galaxia right off the hill and tossed her on to the dead flowers below. The fall tore part of her long lime green dress and her right elbow was bleeding.
"Chaos!" cried Sailor Galaxia, as she noticed the chaotic being behind her.
"Sailor Galaxia…did you really believe that I would be sealed away forever? And what makes you think you can hide from me?" Chaos said this as his force tossed Sailor Galaxia back and forth when she made attempts to run away.
By now Sailor Galaxia had wounds and bruises all over her body. Her dress was torn and she couldn't get up and run away anymore.
"You hideous being! Go back where you came! I'm no use to you anymore!" Galaxia tried convincing Chaos that she was no use to him, but her protests didn't affect Chaos in any way.
Chaos lifted Sailor Galaxia in the air and held her there. She made attempts to break free from Chaos's force, but the energy around her only grew tighter.
" You're almost as much of a fool as Sailor Moon! Just give up resisting me!"
" I would never stop resisting you!" cried Sailor Galaxia. " You may have forgotten, but I'm the most powerful Sailor Senshi!" With that she made one last failed attempt of breaking free and realized what her only option left was, " Galaxia Power…Make Up!"
Sailor Galaxia's dress transformed into a pure gold sailor fuku, and her yellow to red ombre hair was rolled up to fit the gold headdress on her head. She broke free of Chaos's force with her newly regained power and placed an attack on him, " Galactia Super String!" A cosmic wave of energy shot out of her hands and hit Chaos.
"Dammit!" hissed Chaos. In anger, he shot a wave of darkness back at Sailor Galaxia. " Now you will serve me for life, and you must find all five of the Star Crystals on Earth as your punishment!"
The sailor guardian's world went black as the darkness entered her body. She didn't have time to react to the attack and she fell to the ground. All the happy thoughts in her mind were disappearing. The second chance Sailor Moon had given her was wasted. Sailor Galaxia would become a villain again.
Sailor Galaxia awoke in Shadow Galactia. She was sitting on her golden throne, wondering how she got there. The only thing on her mind now was finding all five star crystals and taking over the galaxy. Little did she know that Chaos had sealed himself in her body. Sailor Galaxia was back to being a villain. As Galaxia looked around her kingdom, she noticed four bodies lying before her.
Queen Beryl didn't know what Queen Metallia meant by, 'You can't complete everything alone', but the answer would await her when she entered the throne room. When she walked in, there were four people lying on the ground. All four of them looked dead, and at first Queen Beryl wondered why they were in her throne room. But then she realized they were her Shitennou!
" Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, and Kunzite…" Queen Beryl muttered to herself. She knew they weren't in good condition, they were dead after all. She walked towards her servants to take a closer look at them. Beryl had sentenced Jadeite to eternal sleep due to his multiple failures. Jadeite looked like he had been screaming and his hair appeared to be grey through the crystal. When she looked at Nephrite she remembered that he was murdered by Zoisite for falling in love with a human. She thought what the Shitennou might think if they found out she was in love with a human as well. Nephrite was laying there, with thorns piercing through his chest. He looked like he was just in the middle of an explosion. The Plant Sisters did this to him, Beryl thought. Next, she walked over to Zoisite. He was the most immature of all of them, always turning to Kunzite when he needed help. Him and Kunzite were in a relationship, and Beryl ruined it by killing Zoisite. She had gotten mad at him for nearly killing Tuxedo Mask, and she told Kunzite to depose of him after she fired her magic. He lay there with flowers and sakura petals scattered around him, and there was a teardrop on his right cheek. He looked very peaceful. Lastly, was Kunzite. He was her favorite of the four, and the most powerful. He was very obedient towards Queen Beryl, so she trusted him with almost every task. Kunzite was on the ground, with one of his own weapons stabbing him. Sailor Moon was responsible for this, Beryl knew.
Sailor Moon foiled all of Queen Beryl's plans. But now was a chance for her to get revenge. If only her Shitennou were alive and actually useful, she could complete her mission with more ease.
"Beryl…" said Metallia, now inside of Queen Beryl's head, " I can resurrect them for you…" Queen Metallia used her magic to replace the Shitennou's uniforms with new ones, they looked the same, but they all had capes now. All their wounds were gone, and they looked a couple years younger than they used to be. Queen Beryl assumed it was because of the cuffs on their wrists.
"Metallia, do the cuffs on their wrists preserve them?" Beryl asked.
"Yes…but they don't remember anything that happened in their previous lives, and you must keep it that way. For example…you cannot tell Nephrite about his relationship with Naru Osaka…it would make him useless, and he would turn his back on us…" Metallia answered, "The only thing they remember is that they serve you, Queen Beryl…"
Queen Beryl was satisfied, and now she was just waiting for them to gain consciousness.
When the moment arrived, Queen Beryl was sitting in her throne, waiting. Jadeite was the first to wake up, followed by Kunzite, Nephrite, and Zoisite. They all looked at each other in a very confused fashion as they stood up. When they finally looked in the direction of their queen, and they all said at the same time, "Queen Beryl! It is an honor that we get to serve you," then they knelt before her.
Queen Beryl smirked at this, she liked being treated like a monarch. But Metallia had more to say, "You will receive more help soon…"
Sailor Galaxia was perplexed by the four girls lying in front of her, but then she recognized that they were the Sailor Animamates.
Sailor Iron Mouse, Sailor Tin Nyanko, Sailor Aluminum Siren, and Sailor Lead Crow; all of them were accounted for.
"Sailor Animamates, haven't seen you four in a long time…" Sailor Galaxia said this to herself and to the unconscious or dead sailor senshi. She wasn't sure if they were alive or not. But she did notice that they were wearing different cuffs than the ones Galaxia removed from most of them. Sailor Galaxia recalled Sailor Tin Nyanko murdered Sailor Lead Crow, but she wasn't entirely sure why. She did know that she killed the other three, because of their failures.
Sailor Galaxia finally decided to stand up out of her throne to see if they were alive. Sure enough, all of them were breathing. Galaxia was relieved that they were alive, because she would need assistance finding the star crystals. She decided to lightly kick Sailor Iron Mouse to see if she would wake up. To Galaxia's surprise, Iron Mouse woke up quickly, but she seemed to only remember that she was supposed to serve Sailor Galaxia.
Sailor Iron Mouse woke up quickly after being kicked in the side, "Gah! Queen G-Galaxia is that you?"
"Why yes Miss Iron Mouse, it is me," Galaxia gestured to the other sailor senshi, "Now, do you mind getting up off your bottom and waking up your friends?"
Iron Mouse rushed to her feet, " It w-would be an honor to perform s-such a task that you have requested, Madame Ga-Galaxia," she stammered.
"Iron mouse, I would like it if you just called me Sailor Galaxia."
"Aye Aye, Captain-err I mean, uh…s-sure thing Sailor Galaxia!" Sailor Iron Mouse didn't remember the unconscious sailor guardians, but she tried to wake them up anyway. She kicked them all in the side, just as Galaxia did to her.
The rest of the Sailor Guardians woke up and immediately got to their feet. They spoke at the same time, "Sailor Galaxia, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Galaxia was about to set their first plan in motion when everything around them started shaking.
"Sailor Galaxia! What's going on?" cried Sailor Iron Mouse, as they watched the area to the left Sailor Galaxia's throne completely disappear.
Galaxia and her sailor guardians fell to ground, and they looked to what the other half of their kingdom had turned into. A different kingdom was placed next to theirs, and five other people were staring right back at them. They all looked just as surprised as the Animamates.
Queen Beryl and the Shitennou looked at the sailor guardians on the other half of their kingdom. This slightly angered Queen Beryl because she was just about to begin her mission. The guardian in gold must be their leader, Beryl thought, as she watched her stand up and walk towards her.
The senshi said, "My name is Sailor Galaxia, would you kindly tell me what you have done to the other part of our kingdom?"
"Please call me Queen Beryl, Sailor Galaxia. I was about ask the same-" Beryl stopped talking when Metallia started speaking in her head.
"Beryl…they are here to help you…just tell them that we have the same mission…"
"Sailor Galaxia, I believe we carry the same mission. To find the five star crystals."
Galaxia listened, she needed all the help she could get.
Queen Beryl continued speaking, " As you know, I am Queen Beryl, and these are the Shitennou, Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, and Kunzite." She pointed to each one as she spoke, " I think we both need more help with each of our missions, and if we work together, we could complete our task faster. And if Sailor Moon is a nuisance to you as well, then I think we could work exceptionally well together."
Sailor Galaxia smirked, "Well that makes everything a lot clearer now. I dislike Sailor Moon just as much as you, and I think we could easily work together. Currently working with me are Sailor Iron Mouse, Sailor Tin Nyanko, Sailor Aluminum Siren, and Sailor Lead Crow."
"Would you like to work with me as partners to find all the star crystals and defeat Sailor Moon?" asked Queen Beryl.
"Absolutely." answered Sailor Galaxia.
Queen Beryl and Sailor Galaxia shook hands. With that, Sailor Moon's old villains had reawakened. Which leads to the reawakening of the Sailor Guardians.
