Wings of Serenity rewrite
Chapter 1: Burn out
"Please, Sailor Moon! The light of hope for the galaxy"
She couldn't bare it.
She was watching the Sailor Starlights fighting Galaxia, the cause of hers and the Starlights pain. She saw their shining lights of blue , purple and green dancing across the battlefield as sparks were fired from Galaxia's bracelets, each spark was aimed at the Starlights - trying to steal their star seeds. But thanks to their swift movements they were able to dodge them. So much had already been lost. The Starlights Princess, Sailor Moon's friends - the Senshi of the eight planets - Darien ... Each one of their deaths had hit her badly... but seeing this... she didn't want to loose anyone else!
"No... Stop it!" She yelled.
The Starlights heard her... but they didn't want to stop. They had made a promise to the fallen Senshi, they promised to protect Sailor Moon in there place. They had already lost one Princess, they weren't going to lose another one! Maker and Healer were about to launch an another attack but Galaxia had caught them of guard and had managed to hit them with a powerful energy attack. Fortunately, the attack wasn't powerful enough to kill them but it did knock them to the ground. Fighter, though badly weaken, was the only one still standing, her blackish blue hair was flowing in the cold breeze. Briefly, she diverted her gaze to her fellow teammates before locking eyes with Galaxia.
Smirking, Galaxia yelled "The final blow!" before rushing towards her.
So, this was it. Galaxia was coming for her but Fighter wasn't afraid - it would go against her name sake if she was. Instead she charged up a star serious lazar to the point of full power (and to the point where Fighter could collapse from the amount of energy she was using,
especially in her current state) Before she could release it someone pushed her out of the way, knocking her to the ground. Despite the pain in her left shoulder her eyes widen when she saw Sailor Moon in her place. The Moon Princess brought her arms to the side and light started to shine from her locket.
"Sailor Moon... you can't-"
"I will not let anybody else to die because of me" Sailor Moon said, her voice was shaking but she tried to control it. She wouldn't show weakness to Galaxia or Fighter.
Galaxia came to a halt, jumped backwards and landed on her feet. She was in amazement and confusion as light started to sparkle and get stronger. Something ached at the back of her mind. She had seen this before. She tried to remember but every time she got close to the memory something stopped her and gave her nothing but pain.
"What is this?" Galaxia demanded.
She got no answer. The light changed colour from yellow to silver. A single crystal, in the shape of a lotus, emerged for her locket. Though very weak Fighter, Maker and Healer were able to make to the light and came to the same conclusion. They knew what the lotus was, they knew what Sailor Moon was doing.
Her star seed is..." Maker muttered.
"Its trying to release its energy" Healer realized
Sailor Moon closed her eyes as the reflection of light washed over her and the Starlights, healing them in the process. The Sailor Starlights didn't know what to say, they could only watch in amazement as the light started to flicker and pulse. Galaxia was impressed by this display of power and, once she saw the crystal, she recognize what Sailor Moon's lotus was and what she was doing with it.
"So, this is the power of the Moon Princess's star seed" Galaxia said before holding a smile. " Its beautiful shine is of no comparison to the others in the galaxy"
She held out her hand, clasped the Silver Crystal in her hands and removed it from the locket. With widen eyes and a shocked expression all the Moon Princess could do was fall backwards as the light started to fade around her.
"Sailor Moon!" The Sailor Starlights yelled.
Her eternal form, the form given to her when all of the friends, her future daughter and Prince Endymion gave her their powers, vanished and all that was left was red ribbons that came out of her locket. As she was falling Galaxia and the Starlights heard her screams.
"You fool! Even with your star seed as it is, did you think that you could challenge me? Galaxia yelled.
With the SIlver Crystal in the golden senshi hands, Sailor Moon tried to hold the ribbons together so she wouldn't be exposing her body. As she was watching the display Galaxia was laughing in delight as Sailor Moon's body was falling to the ground. When she finally hit the ground Sailor Star Fighter screamed and tried to run towards her but she was stopped by the other two. They looked over to Sailor Moon. Blue, green and purple eyes were fixed on her body as the light faded from Sailor Moon's body and into Galaxia hands.
Then red butterflies started to appear around them. Maker was the first to notice them, followed by the other two. Confusion was plastered all over their faces. They couldn't help but wonder where they had come from.
"Believe" A voice told them.
Chibi Chibi saw the butterflies and knew what to do. She closed her eyes and started to pray.
"Believe... in space, why you were born, and why you met these people" The voice told them.
"Its the Princess. Its our Princess's voice" Healer told them.
Galaxia wasn't having it. After everything she had done she wasn't going to let them win.
"It's too late!" She yelled " The galaxy belongs to me now!"
That's when it hit her. A vision of her had emerged. In her golden armour she had been fighting Chaos but she was loosing the battle. There was only one thing she could do.
"After defeating Chaos, what have I gotten into? What was I fighting for?"
Her power and her strength was fading and Chaos's hold on her was getting stronger by the minute. Galaxia clasped her sword with both of her hands as her knees buckled. Blood from her hands was trickling down the sword.
"Chaos! It's increasing its energy while its being sealed. If it continues my body will be... I can't finish it. Not yet. I have to do something. Who could protect the galaxy but me?"
From her body a flower began to bloom on Galaxia's chest. When the flower opened up it reveled a bright red star seed. All around her more of the same flowers appeared on the ground and Galaxia started to shine.
"Fly away, my star! My light of hope! To the far reaches of the galaxy, where Chaos cannot find you. To someone who will embrace you warmly! To the newborn stars and planets of love and justice!"
So, that was it. Her once star seed that she sent out into the galaxy before her corruption, now in the shape of a little girl. Chibi Chibi opened her red eyes with disappointment for a second. She remembered what she was and now she was going to help Sailor Moon.
"I won't allow it! That power will end before it will wake!" Galaxia stated " Now, prepare yourself! I'm going to take your shine"
While she was watching Sailor Star Fighter felt something brush beside her . She thought it was one of the butterflies who carried the voice of her Princess.
"Princess! Give us the last of your power!" She yelled as she, Healer and Maker stood up.
"Burn out!" Galaxia yelled before firing an attack.
But it never came for her. The attack was shattered before it hit her. From Chibi Chibi eyes a single silver tear dropped to the ground and created a whirlpool of pure light under her boots. The whirlpool started to get faster as more of it started to appear from the middle. It flowed from Chibi Chibi to Sailor Moon. Galaxia couldn't help but wonder if her light was healing Sailor Moon.
"Perhaps the only light that could challenge me... is the light of hope that I sent out to the far end of the galaxy" She muttered.
"The light of hope..." Sailor Moon whispered. Her eyes were opened but the blue reflection that was once present was hollow (like the time when she was tricked by Queen Nehelenia when she took Darien from her)
"That was the beginning of everything... Fly away, my star... My light of hope... to someone who will embrace you warmly... To the newly born stars and planets of love and justice..."
"Is it awakening?" Galaxia demanded "The light of hope that I sent out to the galaxy back then?"
Then Chibi Chibi opened her eyes. The light started to flow back to her, surrounding her in a seal before it released itself and washed over Sailor Moon, The Starlights and Galaxia. The light emerged over the city and when it faded... Sailor Moon, The Starlights and Chibi Chibi vanished.
" What? Where did they go?" Galaxia yelled.
"Can you hear me?" A voice called out.
Serena opened her eyes but she immediately closed them. The light was too much for her and she was still recovering from Galaxia's attack. Slowly, she opened them again. She could just make out a silhouette of a women with long air and a staff in her left hand.
"My dearest Moon child... please listen to me" She said.
"Where... where are we?" Serena whispered "And who... who are you?"
We are at the beginning of everything. At the place where I first fought Galaxia after her corruption" The women told her "As for my name, for now you can call me Cora"
"Cora?" Serena repeated before realising something. "Wait a minute, Galaxia was once pure?"
"Yes, she was. Before Chaos took over her body she was once pure of heart, like you. Once she had friends, her own Sailor Senshi but they were killed by the false ones: The Sailor Animamates" Cora explained. " After the corruption the false ones killed Galaxia's friends so they could be Senshi. Their powers were given to them by Galaxia"
"Who were they?" Serena asked.
"They were: Sailor Chuu - she was killed by Sailor Iron mouse. Sailor mermaid - She was killed by Sailor Aluminum Siren. Sailor Mau - She was killed by Sailor Tin Nyanko. And finally Sailor Coronis - she was killed by Sailor Lead Crow" Cora told her " There was one more, Sailor Cocoon, but i do not know what happened to her killer"
"How could you let all this happen?" Serena questioned.
"It was all my fault. I wasn't there when she was overtaken by Chaos and I couldn't save her when we fought" Cora admitted before adding "There is something I need to tell you"
"And that is"?" Serena questioned
'There is a way for you to regain your powers. I will send you to the beginning of the Silver millennium, on the day your Mother becomes Queen." Cora revealed "You must find a young lady called Iris, she will help you restore your powers"
With a swift movement of her staff, Cora teleported Serena away, With her tasked done she went to find the others. There was something else she had to do.
