The Star that Blazes Brightest

"Moon Eternaru... Make-up!" Usagi shouted. White, glistening feathers surrounded her body, two large wings stretched from her back as the ever familiar transformation transpired. Where Tsukino Usagi once stood; Eternal Sailor Moon glared up at the evil entity.

"Do you really believe you can kill me?" the dark shadow cried loudly. It raised it's arms and let out a piercing scream. Eternal Sailor Moon covered her ears, watching as the shadow leapt into the air, landing on top of a ledge in the endless space.

"Aito Seigino Sailor Fuku Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon! - Tsukini kawatte... oshiokiyo!" Sailor Moon shouted.

"Still saying that cute, little speech? After all these years, you're still a weak, little girl, with no clue. You can't fight me, you can't win. Your words of love, peace and happiness will do nothing for you this time, princess."

Sailor Moon dropped her arms. It was right. She didn't know how to fight this thing. Every other time, her friends were there to help her - whether in body or spirit - but this time...

"Guys! Don't worry! I'll get you out!" Usagi shouted. She was surrounded by large crystals, in each of them stood one of her senshi; her friends. Magic kept them from her, kept them from everything. Even Luna and Artemis were trapped. This wasn't like last time. The senshi might never go free. Usagi fell to the ground in tears, in front of her stood Endymion turned to stone.

Chaos' magic was too strong. Many times she had come; as Sailor Moon, trying with all her might to break them free.

"Its not fair!" she cried, wiping her face, "You can't just stay like that! You have to help me! I can't beat Chaos on my own! I can't beat it... I'm not strong! Not like you guys!"

Sailor Moon grabbed her brooch. Memories of her battle with Galaxia came flooding back, Chaos had taken control of her. Chaos was pure evil. There was no way of truly defeating it. The cost to truly rid their universe of evil was too great.

Eternal Sailor Moon looked over at the cauldron. It shown bright, with the power of... hope. Here, here was the beginning of so many lives. The stars swirled and twinkled.

'This is what I'm protecting,' she thought, 'Even if it means... giving up the rest of my life to...'

"To keep you from destroying them, I will! I, Eternal Sailor Moon - the champion of love, and justice, and hope! Chaos, I will! I won't do it alone--because I know my friends - if they were here - would give me the strength--but I know that I don't need them here, because they believe in me! I can protect the people who can't protect themselves! Because I love them, I want to protect them! I will never fade from this world that I love!"

Eternal Sailor Moon ripped the golden brooch from her bow, a brilliant light consuming her.

"Crystal of the Moon! Hear my plea! Give me the power to fight! Give me the power to protect the people that I so desperately love!" tears fell from Sailor Moon's eyes as her Eternal Tier transformed, a silver crystal shined brilliantly in its place as Sailor Moon once again transformed.

"I am the queen of light! I am the power that destroys the evil that threatens this galaxy! I am Queen Serenity, future ruler of Crystal Tokyo!" Serenity floated above Chaos, a look of determination on her face.

This was it. This was her chance to seal Chaos away--maybe not forever, but until the time Sailor Cosmos is born into the world with the power to control Chaos.

Chaos laughed again, "Yes! Use your energy and die little queen! You cannot defeat me! Let darkness consume this galaxy!" black balls of energy swarmed around the two, ducking in and out of the cauldron, growing bigger and bigger.

Serenity raised her arms up, the crystal floating inbetween them.

"Silver Moon Crystal!" she shouted, shouted so the heavens would open and heed to her cries, so her friends would hear her and know that she wouldn't let them down.

The golden glow of Serenity's crystal shined against Chaos, shined against the shadows. Chaos grew, roaring with anger as it sent its dark energy in retaliation.

Soon the brilliance of Serenity's crystal surpassed Chaos' darkness, the space which the two enemies had stood was covered in white light. Far away, ten crystals shattered, and the senshi who had once been sealed there looked at one another. A man stood in the midst of them, his body turned to stone, began to crumble away and reveal Prince Endymion.

Chaos screamed in pain as its body was torn away by the light. The light that erupted from the star that blazes brightest. Serenity could feel her life force ebbing away and she began to feel weak. She closed her eyes, feeling the sailor crystal pull away from her body. A voice sang in the distance, waking Serenity from her reverie, in front of her was a beautiful woman in a white sailor suit,

"Usagi-chan! Thank-you for showing me the courage I need! I am Cosmos! Feel the love that emits from those you hold close to your heart! Leave this cauldron that you may rest, for your battles here are over, and your peace is well deserved!"

"Chibi..." a little girl, about two or three years old, wandered the roads of some unknown country-side. Fields with wild sunflowers ran on and on in every direction, a tall mountain stood from afar, watching the small child.

She scratched her head, looking around in confusion. Where were the big buildings? All the people? Sure, the flowers were pretty, but she had been hoping for something... more.

Sighing, she lifted a white parasol over her head and headed down the long, dirt road.

Notes:

This is a bit of a teaser, eh? Well, this is like the ending of StarS, but I'm changing how Usagi defeats Chaos--this version she doesn't, don't hope for some magnificent battle at the end between them, because Chaos is Sailor Cosmos' battle, and Usagi has to realize that she isn't alone to always fight the battles. There are other senshi that help protect the universe.

I don't own Sailormoon or Gundamwing. I only own the plot. And thats the only time I'm saying it!

The story plot is weird to me. I haven't really thought it through, but I guess this is just gonna be a really short story compared to the other ones. Basically, during the battle with Chaos, Queen Serenity Usagi uses up all the power of the crystal to seal Chaos away and ends up being teleported away safely by the Sailor Starlights, Kakyuu and Galaxia. Of course, she ends up being sent to the Gundamwing dimension as Chibi-Chibi, Galaxia lending the form to Usagi just in case someone goes looking for her.
