A NOTE: This fan-fiction is based on the Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon manga
originally written by Naoko Takeuchi. I do not claim rights to Sailor Moon
or any of the original Sailor Moon cast. "Sailor Zero Sagittarius" is an
original character created by me, and not an actual character from the
anime or manga series.
Prologue: Left Behind
"I am Guardian Cosmos: Guardian and Holy Spirit of the Cosmos Seed. Long ago, there were shining stars that came here like you, as perfect star forms. In my breast I held the cast-off shell of a small star. That star, too, carried strong brilliance like yours, Sailor Moon. Saying it would come here to me, that life was lost to this Cauldron's sea of origin. Saying you want to create a new history of the stars? I wonder if that means you want to leave here in those star forms?"
"We want to go live together, always, like this," said Usagi. "We want to make our future like this. However hard it may be, we want to live these lives!"
The Sailor Senshi then were enclosed in light, and thrown into the air.
"Guardian Cosmos!" Usagi called as she flew away. "Is Chaos...?"
They disappeared into the galaxy.
A moment later. "Then. it's mine? All mine? Is there no one else left?" cried a small, meek, disbelieving voice.
A small black-haired lady stepped from around a lone pillar.
"I wonder if they're gone for good. they all forgot about me. I'm alone here. the only one left. just little.me."
She wore a simple purple and gold dress that came down to her knees. Her golden armbands glimmered as a flash of light flew from the Cauldron and into the endless starry night. She looked down at her bracelets and gasped.
"Why am I here? Galaxia-sama. and Chaos were. murdered. then why am I still here? My bracelets are intact, yet the source of their power has been destroyed. "
Suddenly a new flash of light flew from the Cauldron and straight into the woman. Her chest lit up and she glowed. Then the light washed over her and she transformed. her dress split in half and flew out to meet the floor like satin ribbons. Golden laces laced themselves into the dress holding it together, and wrapped themselves around her boots. A long piece of draping, golden cloth fell from her bracelets and attached itself to the back of her dress. The light ran through her hair like ripples in a pond, bleaching it a solid white. Her entire body stretched upwards nearly three feet. Finally, a tall golden pole materialized in her hand. Atop the scepter, a black orb was perched. There was the faint image of a small spiral galaxy visible inside the blackness of the amulet.
"I see now. Galaxia. and Chaos. died so that I would live. Their seeds merged inside the cauldron and gave birth to me. I will live on to carry out the mission. I will become victorious where they failed. The Galaxy Cauldron is mine. and I rule the Galaxy from on high. Here, where no one will penetrate the walls of the Shadow Galatica. Here, in the center of the cosmos, Zero Star Sagittarius. Here, finally, I will truly be a Senshi of the highest power."
A black pointed choker tumbled out of the cauldron and skidded to a stop at the lady's feet. She picked it up and placed it around her neck. The ends in the back grew into each other to form a solid collar.
"With this star seed, the seed of Zero Sagittarius, I am truly a Sailor Senshi. Galaxia did keep her promise after all. Now I am the strongest, and no one can stop me. not even the one called Eternal Sailormoon could vanquish me now. No. Sailor Zero Sagittarius. has finally been reborn."
A small sprite-like woman floated up from the cauldron, surrounded by a brilliant aura.
"NO! Zero Sagittarius! How could you be here? Not like this! Not now! How did you escape?"
"Quiet, you insolent fairy! I am the ruler of the Cosmos now. you will obey me!"
"Never! I am the Guardian of this sacred place where star seeds are born and reborn. The Galaxy Cauldron will never serve your evil will! I am the Cauldron Guardian Cosmos, and you will not rule this Galaxy as long as I am free!"
"I SAID SILENCE! Kneel and OBEY!"
Zero Sagittarius pointed her long scepter at Guardian Cosmos and a large burst of gold and purple ribbons shot at the little sprite. At the same time, Guardian Cosmos fired an attack from her staff but was overcome and thrown back against a pillar.
"NO!"
"YES!"
Zero Sagittarius laughed wickedly as Guardian Cosmos lie on the ground, her aura flickering as she held her shoulder with one hand, her staff in the other. Zero Sagittarius circled her scepter in the air until a pointed black choker, identical to her own, but smaller, was made of dark energy. She snatched it from the air and threw it at Guardian Cosmos.
"CATCH!"
Guardian Cosmos took a final breath before the choker clasped itself onto her neck and sealed itself in the back. She stood, dropping the staff, grasping the collar, trying to break it off.
"NO! Zero Sagittarius! What have you done?"
"SILENCE! You are the keeper of this Galaxy Cauldron? Then you must control the star seeds. None will escape here. You will keep them from leaving this castle."
Guardian Cosmos' eyes flickered black, then white, black, then white again.
"Yes."
"Now go. I will rebuild this fortress, and then I will seek the other star seeds. Shadow Galatica will live again!"
Guardian Cosmos retrieved her staff, as she touched it, her aura became solid again. but dark and empty. She floated down to the bottom of the cauldron, her temple.
