Amber Pegasus-Thanks. :) I liked turning her into one.

Wildflower1014-LOL, yeah. A daughter. And thanks.

Here we go!

Chapter Eight: Taking the Fight to the Enemy
Jaina's brown eyes fluttered open and a young man's face hovering over her swam into focus. "Oh, thank the Force you're awake!" Zekk said. He knelt down and gently helped her sit up. "Are you all right?"

"Where am I?" she asked, her eyes blinking rapidly.

Zekk chuckled. "Oh, come on. You told us where to go."

Jaina's mind cleared somewhat. "Oh, blaster bolts! We're at Rei's temple!" She turned and stood up, then promptly swooned.

Zekk grabbed her arm and steadied her, physically and through the Force. "Whoa! You're in no condition to get up!"

Jaina shook her head, making her even dizzier and sending everything out of focus. "No, no. I have to. Indecision has cost us dearly. Now Tionne, Michiru and Haruka are also prisoners of Chaos." She staggered to the door, Zekk helping her all the way.

She exited the room and was soon in the temple courtyard. It was now the next morning. "I didn't realize I was that out of it," she murmured. Her eyes fell upon a gathering near the largest tree. "What's going on?"

"Ami's found the location of Galaxia's base. We also appear to have some…allies."

Jaina saw the first young woman. She immediately recognized her through her Force aura. "She's quite powerful," she commented.

Zekk smiled and shook his head. "Oh, you have no idea."

The girl with the pink ponytails glanced over at Jaina and smiled, "Hi! I'm glad to see you awake," before running over and hugging Jaina. "My name is Chiba Usagi." She quickly broke off the hug and bowed. "I'm eighteen years old and the daughter of Queen Serenity and King Endymion, rulers of Crystal Tokyo."

Jaina slowly returned the bow, then paused halfway down. "Wait, Crystal Tokyo?" She straightened up. "I remember hearing about you. You're Chibi-Usa, aren't you?"

Chibi-Usa snarled. "Hey, that was my nickname when I was younger! I'm grown up, now!"

She leaned forward, placed her hands on her hips and stuck her tongue out at Jaina, who sighed and held her hand to her forehead. "Okay, so you're Usagi and Mamoru's daughter. Who's the other one?"

Zekk ran his fingers through his midnight-black hair. "Ah, you're gonna have to sit down for that one. Han nearly killed himself when he found out."

Jaina looked around and spotted the young woman talking to Leia, Han, Anakin, Tahiri and Hotaru. She walked over, leaving Zekk with Chibi-Usa. Jaina felt a bit of agitation coming from her mother and father, but outright hostility radiated off Tahiri.

The young girl turned around as she approached and smiled. "Hi, Aunt Jaina!"

Jaina rolled her brown eyes. "Okay, I need coffee. Now."

Leia walked over to her daughter and ran through a meditation exercise before speaking. "It seems she's a relative of ours from the future." She looked over at Han with a coy expression. "My dearest husband nearly cracked his skull open when she said 'Hi, Papa!' to him."

Han scowled and crossed his arms. "Hey, you had a shrieking fit when she called you 'grandma'."

The young girl, only about sixteen or seventeen, bowed at Jaina. "Hello! My name is Tomo Solo. I come from one thousand years in the future and the restored planet of Crystal Alderaan."

Jaina's breath caught in her throat. "Crystal Alderaan?"

Tomo nodded somberly. "Yes. You shall use your Ginzoishou to restore the destroyed planet and usher in a new era of peace."

Jaina looked back at Chibi-Usa. "How do you two know each other if you're from my reality?"

Tomo shrugged. "There's a gateway connecting Crystal Alderaan to Crystal Tokyo and Usagi's my best friend. We go to the same high school."

Jaina looked back to Leia, her neck hurting. "Mom, Ami really knows where Galaxia is?"

The Senshi of peace nodded. "Yes. In one hour we're heading out to the Falcon and Saber to finalize plans."

Jaina nodded, but a thought struck her. "Are Usagi, Mamoru, Makoto, Minako and Rei ready for this?"

Han pointed across the courtyard. "Judge for yourself."

Jaina looked over and saw five people standing there, each one holding a lightsaber up and igniting it. Usagi and Mamoru's shot forth a brilliant white blade, while Rei's had a reddish tint to it. Makoto twirled around a double-bladed lightsaber with emerald plasma blades and Minako held up an orange one not unlike Zekk's. Jaina nodded in admiration. "The Force…will be with us."

As the sun rose for midday, the surviving Senshi and Jedi gathered around the Millennium Falcon. Ami stood in front of them with a portable holo-projector and her mini-computer in hand. She inputted a command and the holo-projector showed an image of a warehouse. "Galaxia is in there. I scanned the building not only through the Force, but with my computer and felt nothing through the Force, but my computer showed an energy field surrounding the buildings."

Her face scrunched up in resolution. "She's there."

Tenel Ka walked up and looked the image over with her gray eyes. "It appears that all we can do is a frontal assault."

Ami nodded. "Galaxia will detect us the second we appear within 1,000 meters of the building, and we can't sailor teleport directly in." A sigh escaped her lips before she continued. "We're gonna have to wade through the Phantom Sisters, the Amazon Trio, the Amazoness Quartet and the Anima-Mates before reaching Galaxia." Her ocean-blue eyes fell upon Jaina and Usagi. "And then it's up to you two."

Jaina nodded, uncertainty playing over her face. "I'll-I'll do it. Uncle Luke, Haruka, Michiru, Tionne and all the rest are counting on us!"

Usagi nodded as well, then turned to Jaina and stuck out her hand. "I'll work with you, not against you."

Jaina bridged the gap between the two and clasped Usagi's hand, pumping it twice. She broke it off and motioned to Chibi-Usa and Tomo. "So what are they doing here?" she asked Setsuna.

The Senshi of time shrugged. "Small Lady will not affect the timeline one way or another, but Tomo is a catalyst. She's a predestination paradox."

Jaina's eyes narrowed before she looked to the young teen. "So, what's your story? You called me 'Aunt Jaina' back at Rei's temple." A sneaky grin crossed her face. "Are you Jacen and Tenel Ka's kid?"

Tomo shook her head. "No. I am Anakin and Hotaru's daughter."

Silence reigned for a full five minutes. Jaina lightly scanned Tahiri in the interim and noted the massive amount of pure rage the Senshi of sand was tamping down. She slowly looked over at Hotaru and saw her desperately trying to hide a smile. And finally, she glanced at Anakin and saw her younger brother. His cheeks were slightly flushed, and he hopped from one foot to another.

She looked back at Tomo and, for the first time, really looked at her. Her hair was the same style as Hotaru's, but as noted before, it was several shades lighter. She also had Hotaru's nose, but Anakin's jawline and smile-which to say, she had a small one at best.

Jaina finally walked over and hugged her niece. "It's always good to meet family."

Tomo returned the hug. "Thank you."

Tahiri's green eyes glanced around, first at Anakin, then at Hotaru. She gritted her teeth, grinding them together. "So, what's the plan?" she yelled out. "We need a plan if we're gonna beat Chaos and Galaxia-not to mention her army. And how many of them are still-"

Mara suddenly spoke up. "I suggest a multi-front approach."

Leia nodded. "You're right, but Jaina and Usagi should go in front." The two women walked up to the hologram. "We draw Galaxia's army away, letting you two slip in," Leia murmured. "Does anyone have any objections?" There were none.

She clapped her hands. "Fine, then. When should we do this?"

Luna spoke up. "We should get a good night's sleep first."

Everyone murmured their assent, and Minako said, "The early bird gets healthy, wealthy and wise!"

Luna's yellow eyes looked up at the blond. "I think you got that wrong," the feline dryly remarked.

Minako scratched the back of her head. "Really?"

Luna glanced over at Artemis. "Is your fur really white, or is it really all gray hairs?"

Mamoru stepped forward and turned around before facing the group. "Jacen, Han, Anakin, please step forward."

The three men reluctantly stepped forward. "What's this about?" Han asked.

Mamoru reached into his coat, prompting Chewie to growl in curiosity at him. He quickly pulled out three roses and, with a quick flick, tossed them at the men.

Han's strong hand grabbed the rose stem-first, while Jacen and Anakin grabbed theirs by the petals. All three Solo men were enveloped in a bright light and, when it faded, they all wore tuxedos with a mask over their eyes and a cape.

Mamoru looked over at Zekk. "You're right. They too have the power."

Han looked at his hand, now in a white glove. The rose he held now was still red, but Jacen's was a bright green, while Anakin's was as blue as his lightsaber blade. Jacen grinned. "Oh, this is great! I've never looked better!"

Anakin's hand blurred and the rose embedded itself in the ground. "It does make some sense, too. We've been linked by destiny to our beloved… whoever that may be."

Han, meanwhile, looked over at Mamoru. "Okay, kid. I don't know what's going on here, but I don't have any special powers!"

Mamoru shook his head. "That's not true, Han. You have a power, just not that of the Jedi." He walked up to Han and grabbed put a hand on his shoulder. "You have a strength you've never realized, Han. And you'll need them if you want to survive this battle."

The young man's face grew dark. "The battle against this evil will take everything we have, our heart, body and soul. Can you commit to that?"

Han snorted. "I'll do it, for love and justice!" His head slowly turned to Mara he sighed. "Okay, how do you deal with the stupid speeches?"

Mara shrugged. "I still haven't." She looked around while stroking her belly. "All right, we'll meet back here tomorrow at noon. Get plenty of sleep tonight, everyone."

Everyone nodded and most headed for their homes, but some stuck around for a bit. Tahiri stomped up to Anakin and grabbed him roughly by the arm. She silently hauled him off to the aft section of the Jade Saber and the young man felt confusion, anger and sadness radiating off the young woman. "How did she happen?"

Anakin's eyes narrowed at his best friend. "How did who happen?"

Tahiri snarled and punched him in the arm. Hard. "Who the fratz do you think I mean? I'm talking about-" She stopped when she sensed two people approaching.

Tomo Solo and Tomoe Hotaru walked up, chatting amicably. Their conversation died down and stopped as they approached Anakin and Tahiri.

Anakin suddenly grabbed Hotaru and hauled the delicate teenager off by her arm. The two walked over to the Falcon. "Is this set in stone?" he asked her.

Hotaru's violet eyes blinked twice. "What?"

He motioned to Tomo. "Her? Is she set in stone?" He let go of her arm and paced back and forth a bit. "Master Yoda once said, and it's been quoted by nearly every Jedi Knight and Master, 'always in motion is the future'." The young man suddenly stopped and pivoted on his heel, bringing his face mere centimeters to Hotaru's. "Does that apply to us?"

Hotaru felt his hot breath on his skin. She felt his anger at the situation; being forced to choose between his two best friends. She also felt his feelings shifting. "The future can be changed, but I don't want it to. I love you, Anakin! You know that!"

Anakin nodded. "I know, and I've been thinking about it ever since you told me over that chocolate parfait." He paused for a moment and gathered his roiling thoughts. "I… I love you, Hotaru." He leaned in and kissed her while the sun set behind them, casting their profiles into shadows. Hotaru grabbed his arms and held on, lest she swoon.

Tahiri watched the two with undisguised hate. Her eyes then flickered upon Tomo. "What are you looking at? Is my heart breaking amusement enough for you?"

Tomo shook her head. "I'm sorry. I was simply gauging your reaction."

The Senshi of the sand scowled, causing Tomo to chuckle. "What's so funny?" Tahiri asked her.

The future Senshi looked over at Hotaru and Anakin. "Can you really hate them?"

The Senshi of sand nodded. "Yeah, I can!" She stepped forward, but Tomo stepped in front of her.

"Don't," she said, holding up a hand. "Mom and Dad love each other. I know it's painful, but you can't stop destiny."

Tears left a trail down Tahiri's cheek and she turned away. "I don't get it. Why does he love her?" The young woman turned back to Tomo. "Why?" she whispered again.

Tomo turned her violet eyes back to Hotaru and Anakin. "You'll have to ask them yourself, Tahiri."

Tahiri nodded, then slowly walked over to Anakin and Hotaru, her thoughts organizing themselves. I love him… but did I ever tell him that? Did I ever… Force, I didn't. He never knew my true feelings and Hotaru told him hers and I let him slip through my fingers and they're looking so happy together…

By now, the two had broken off their kiss and watched Tahiri approach. Anakin's cheeks blushed, although he had no idea why. Before he could speak or even open his mouth, Tahiri walked up to him and spoke. "I thank you for being my friend, and I thank you for being there through all the good times and the bad."

She then looked at Hotaru. "I thank you for teaching me the ways of the Senshi and helping me build my lightsaber." She backed up and took Hotaru's right hand and Anakin's left, bringing the two together. "Can we still be friends?" she tearfully asked.

Anakin's eyes flashed. He walked up to Tahiri and bore into her with his ice-blue eyes. "Tahiri, don't EVER think that we won't be friends. Got it?" He wrapped his arms around her in a hug before continuing. "I'll always be there for you, Tahiri."

Tahiri slid her arms up and suddenly pushed him away. "No, you won't." She stepped back and slowly pointed at Hotaru. "You'll always be there… for her, not me. Get it?"

The young man glanced at Hotaru for a moment, then looked at Tahiri. Her lip was trembling a bit, but she wasn't as sad or angry as before. Her posture was a bit straighter, as if a great weight was gone from her shoulders. "Got it," he confirmed.

She nodded and gave him a trembling smile. "Good." Her shoulders bobbed and she sighed. "Not to sound petty, but with Haruka and Michiru's house destroyed and their starseeds captured, where are we gonna go?"

All three looked up as they felt Setsuna and Tomo walk over. The guardian of time held out her right hand and a large, ornately styled door appeared. "You may rest here."

Hotaru walked up to her and bowed her head. "Thank you," she said before walking up to the time gate. The door swung open, revealing bright light, fog and little else.

Anakin walked forward, eyes blazing with curiosity. Tahiri followed, albeit with more caution. Hotaru looked up at Setsuna. "We'll get Tionne back and the others back." she said, feeling the older Senshi's tamped-down anger.

Setsuna looked down at her with flashing green eyes. "Are you sure?"

Hotaru nodded, flashing her a smile. "The Force will be with us tomorrow. I have foreseen it."

The guardian smiled before reaching over and rubbing Hotaru's head, messing up her short, black hair. "Stop it!" the Senshi of death said, playfully batting her away.

Setsuna let her smile fade before walking through the door, leaving Tomo and Hotaru behind.

Hotaru looked over at her future daughter. She could see so much of herself and Anakin in her! Tomo noticed the stare and spoke up. "Are you all right?"

Hotaru stepped forward and looked her daughter in her identical violet eyes and smiled. "I'm all right." She stepped around and wrapped her arm around Tomo's shoulder before pulling her in as they walked into the time gate. "So, how does Leia and Han take the news when I'm pregnant…"

Back in their apartment, Usagi and Chibi-Usa sat at the dinner table, eating curry. Chibi-Usa's scarlet eyes looked up at her future mother. "I am in awe," she said between bites. "You can cook now!"

Usagi directed a withering glare at her, causing the teenager to shrink into her seat. The blond Senshi looked over and saw Luna sitting with Jaina on the couch. Her senses tingled as she rose from her seat and walked over to the young woman. "What's wrong?"

Luna glanced up at her charge. "Jaina has a simple case of the nerves." The feline looked back at Jaina, who clutched her lightsaber and transformation wand tightly in white-knuckled hands.

The blond Senshi sat down. "I can understand, Jaina. It always took a major effort on the part of Luna and the other Senshi to get me into any fight."

Jaina looked over at her. "Yeah, but back then you were pretty new to fighting. Me? I'm virtually an old pro at fighting." Her brown eyes took on a faraway gaze as she spoke again. "So why am I getting the jitters now?"

Usagi bit her lip and thought for a moment. "Maybe there's something else here than pre-battle jitters."

Jaina sighed rather melodramatically and looked to the ceiling. "I let down Tionne and Haruka and Michiru and Uncle Luke," she said. "Their starseeds were stolen because of me." She looked down and Usagi saw a single tear fall from her brown eye.

Zekk suddenly appeared beside Jaina. "It wasn't your fault," he stated.

Jaina looked up at him, and his heart broke. From above she appeared to be a child, small and scared. He knelt down and said, "They don't blame you. We don't blame you. So please stop blaming yourself for something that isn't your fault." He reached over and wrapped an arm around Jaina.

She nodded and grabbed hold of him, pulling him in for a tight embrace. "I'm just so scared," she whispered.

The two stood up, still locked in the embrace. "What are you scared of?"

Jaina shrugged. "I'm scared of my power?" she began, the words flowing quicker with each second. "I'm… scared that I won't be have the power to seal Chaos away." She broke the embrace and looked up into Zekk's caring eyes. "I need eternal power like Usagi, or else Chaos wins."

Zekk nodded sagely. "The eternal power of the Ginzoishou shall be yours if you are worthy, Jaina Solo. And I feel that you are worthy."

Jaina's eyebrows arched in surprise at her boyfriend's words. "Have you been sniffing that rose too much?"

Zekk smiled at her obvious attempt to lighten the mood. "No. It simply makes the most sense." He then motioned to Mamoru, who was standing back a bit. "Mamoru also clued me in on some 'protector' stuff. Apparently, we're now linked by destiny."

Jaina let a smile cross her lips and she leaned against his chest. "I could've told you that before."

Tenel Ka and Makoto stood in the Kino family dojo, both tensed and ready. Once more, Jacen stood off on the sidelines and watched his beloved prepare for the mother of all duels.

Makoto held her hand high and summoned her transformation wand, shouting, "Jupiter Crystal Power Makeup!" Electricity streamed around her body, melting her clothes into a Sailor Fuku complete with a pink bow tied on front and a green miniskirt. Green ankle boots and elbow-length gloves completed the ensemble.

Tenel Ka then held up her right hand and summoned her transformation wand. She also held the ornate rod and shouted, "Dathomir Crystal Power Makeup!" A red mist enveloped the Hapan princess, forming a Sailor Fuku complete with a bright-red bow tied on front and a miniskirt. A globule of energy coalesced around her prosthetic and green flames danced around the elbow-length white glove. Red high heels completed the ensemble as she changed into Sailor Dathomir.

Sailor Jupiter unclipped a lightsaber from her skirt. It was twice the length of a normal lightsaber and looked like it could double as a blunt instrument. She pressed a button on it, igniting two bright-green blades from each end. She twirled it around over her head, finally settling into an offensive stance.

Sailor Dathomir unclipped her own rancor-tooth lightsaber and ignited it, sending forth a turquoise blade. "Are you ready?" she asked, unsheathing the sakabato slung across her back.

The Senshi of thunder nodded. "I am. Let's do this." They crossed the distance between them quickly and struck blades, sending forth a shower of sparks as the plasma blades sent forth a screech. Dathomir slashed downward across Jupiter's left shoulder with her lightsaber and stabbed at her midsection, but she blocked moved it out of position while sweeping her lower blade up in an attempt to parry the reverse-edge sword away and eviscerate Dathomir.

The redheaded Senshi somehow sucked her already flat and toned gut in even more, avoiding the plasma blade by centimeters. She disengaged from the upper blade near the shoulder and struck at the lower blade with her sakabato, throwing the brunette off balance. She backed up for a moment before spinning around, feinting a strike to Dathomir's legs. Dathomir blocked the feint and ducked a subsequent overhead swing. "Your skills have improved," she noted, pride in her voice.

Jupiter smiled. "Thank you." The two warriors soon locked blades once more. "Are Senshi powers disallowed here?" Jupiter asked.

Dathomir's gray eyes narrowed to flint. "I would say no, friend Makoto."

The brunette flashed the smile of a predator. She clenched her fists around the hilt of her lightsaber even tighter and shouted, "Supreme Thunder!" Bluish-white bolts of lightning erupted from her and traveled across the lightsaber and sakabato to Dathomir, causing her to grit her teeth in pain.

Dathomir stumbled back and fell to one knee. Jupiter gave her no quarter and slashed at her with her emerald blades, but the Hapan princess ducked down and rolled out of the way before they plasma blades could hit her. Even on training mode… they'd still hurt. She got to one knee and held out her left hand, palm out. "Hapan Wall of Protection!" she shouted.

A glass-like bubble formed a meter in front of her, deflecting Jupiter's next thrust. The plasma blade bounced off and Dathomir held up her right hand. "Dathomir-"

Before she could continue the attack phrase, Jacen shouted from the sideline. "Don't do it, Tenel Ka! You'll burn the house down!"

Dathomir scowled opened her fist, halting the attack. She rose to her feet in one quick motion but was unable to drop her shield due to Jupiter's offensive onslaught.

She swung her double-bladed lightsaber from side to side, striking the redheaded Senshi's barrier repeatedly.

Dathomir gritted her teeth. I need a new attack! she thought. Suddenly, she felt a burst of energy flow through her, almost taking her breath away.

Both Jupiter and Jacen felt it. "The kriff?" Jacen mumbled.

Jupiter immediately recognized what was happening. "You can gain another attack, Tenel Ka," she said, stopping the onslaught for a moment.

Sailor Dathomir nodded behind the shield and thought for a moment. My last technique was based upon Hapes. It is Dathomir's turn once more. She suddenly clenched her fist around the hilt of her sakabato and punched the air. "Rancor Roundhouse!" she shouted. A translucent shockwave blasted from her fist, crossing the distance between the two Senshi in less than a second.

It was still enough time for Jupiter to bring her lightsaber up to block the attack, but it didn't give her enough time to stop Sailor Dathomir from crossing the distance between them, deactivating her lightsaber and punching Jupiter right in the midsection. The Senshi of lightning gasped and backed up a bit, her eyes widening a bit.

Dathomir reactivated her lightsaber, pressed the advantage and slashed at Jupiter's head, forcing her onto the defensive. The brunette Senshi blocked her attacks and let go of her lightsaber with her right hand.

"Sparkling Wide Pressure!" she shouted. A brilliant-white ball of energy formed in her cupped hand. She tossed it underhanded at Dathomir, who attempted to block it with her lightsaber and sakabato. The sphere hit the crossed blades and exploded, pitching Sailor Dathomir back. She landed on her back and rolled several meters before coming to a stop.

The redheaded Senshi posted her arms beneath her and pushed herself off the hardwood floor. "Your skills have definitely increased," she wheezed.

Jupiter half-bowed, keeping her eyes on her opponent. "Thank you."

Sailor Dathomir soon regained her footing and held her lightsaber up in one hand while motioning to Jupiter with the other. The Senshi of lightning smiled the smile of a predator and twirled her double-bladed lightsaber around over her head. "Let's finish this."

The two Senshi came together and locked all four blades once more. Suddenly, Dathomir's head came forward, cracking Jupiter twice in the forehead. Stars swam in front of the brunette's green eyes, and she blinked rapidly to clear her vision.

Jupiter stepped back and let go of her lightsaber with her right hand, clenching the fist and cocking it back. Dathomir dropped her sakabato to the ground and mirrored Jupiter before both let loose with one defining punch.

The two fists met and slid against each other on their way to their opponent's head. Time slowed to a crawl for both of them as their blows landed, whipping their heads back and rocking their jaws. Both Senshi stumbled back, dropping to the wooden floor.

Jacen ran over to Dathomir while shouting, "Tenel Ka! Are you all right?"

He reached her just as she was getting to her knees. "I am fine, friend Jacen," she mumbled through an aching jaw. "Now please stop shouting, okay? I have a bad headache." A bright red light enveloped her as she reverted back to Tenel Ka Djo.

Jupiter, meanwhile, was enveloped in a bright green light as she reverted back to Kino Makoto. She immediately leaned forward and put her hands on the floor as exhaustion threatened to overwhelm her. "That was…awesome," She panted.

Jacen helped Tenel Ka to her feet and the two walked over to Makoto. Tenel Ka helped Makoto to her feet and the two locked eyes, as if really seeing each other for the first time. "You are ready," Tenel Ka said.

Makoto nodded. "As are you." The three left the dojo and went into the main living area. Makoto went to the kitchen for some hot chocolate while Jacen helped Tenel Ka to their room.

She collapsed onto the bed while Jacen went over to the dresser. "You know, Tenel Ka," he began to say. "I've been thinking a lot about your proposal two days ago." He leaned on the dresser and gathered his thoughts. "I love you, probably as much as you love me."

A low chuckle escaped his lips. "I guess I'm saying I accept. I will marry you."

He turned and saw Tenel Ka on the bed. She sat up against the headboard and had her hands on her lap. Tears shone in her gray eyes. "Jacen Solo, my friend-" Her voice broke for a moment before she continued. "Nothing in this universe or the next would make me happier."

Jacen flashed a trademark Solo smile before sitting down on the bed. "You mean you'll marry me?"

Tenel Ka let a slightly rare laugh escape her lips. "I thought that's what I asked you!" The laugh soon proved infectious, as Jacen soon found himself laughing so hard tears were rolling down his cheeks.

He wiped them away and lay down even as she slid down next to him. "We'd better get some rest. Tomorrow's gonna be the big one."

Tenel Ka nodded and snuggled up next to Jacen. Within seconds they were both asleep.

The next morning, everyone gathered at the Millennium Falcon and Jade Saber. Sailor Alderaan, Tuxedo Aldera (Han), Lowie, Chewie and Lusa stood by and watched as everyone gathered.

A large ornate door appeared and opened up, allowing Sailors Pluto, Saturn, Neo-Saturn, Tatooine and Tuxedo Titan (Anakin Solo) to emerge.

A large station wagon made its way down the path, driven by Kayko. She pulled over and let Sailors Mercury, Bespin and Melodie out. "Be careful," Kayko said to her daughter.

Mercury bent down and hugged her mother through the window. "I'll be careful," she said before turning and walking away.

Sailors Dathomir, Jupiter and Tuxedo Hapes (Jacen) walked up the path, followed by Sailors Moon, Neo-Moon, Corellia, Tuxedo Mask and Tuxedo Ennth. Ten minutes later, Sailors Mars, Venus and Coruscant arrived.

Coruscant's green eyes were bloodshot, but she appeared fine otherwise. Luna and Artemis walked to the middle of the group. "Everyone join hands and form a circle around the Wookiees," Artemis said. Lowie and Chewie readied their bowcasters as the Senshi and Jedi gathered around.

Venus let out a nervous sigh. "This is it." Her wide eyes looked around. "I'll invite you all to the next concert I have. You'll get front row tickets and the works!"

Alderaan looked over at the ditzy Senshi and smiled faintly. "If you're as good a singer as you are a Jedi, I shall be honored to attend."

Venus blushed at the compliment. "Thank you, your highness," she said, curtsying.

Hapes looked around and cleared his throat. "I'd like to make an announcement. Tenel Ka and I are getting married."

Sailor Alderaan and Tuxedo Aldera looked over at their son. Aldera chuckled and smirked. "I was waiting for that!"

Alderaan sighed and looked to the sky. "I'm going to be a grandmother before I know it," before she grinned.

Dathomir's gray eyes looked over at her future parents-in-law. "I hope to be worthy of your son," she said earnestly.

Alderaan shook her head. "You already are, Tenel Ka."

Tatooine spoke up. "So, what's the plan?"

Coruscant's gloved hands broke from the circle as she pointed to Moon and Corellia. "We get them inside to seal Chaos up and free the starseeds she's stolen. Anything else?" Tatooine shook her head and Coruscant took Mars' and Jupiter's hands again. "Let's do this."

Everyone nodded and half-closed their eyes in concentration. The wind picked up and tossed everyone's hair about while a preternatural glow enveloped everyone. Luna suddenly shouted, "Sailor…"

While Artemis finished the incantation. "…Teleport!"

Tuxedo Hapes' eyes focused through the mask over his eyes, but he still could not discern when the actual teleport took place. One moment he was in front of the Millennium Falcon; the next he was in front of a warehouse. Everyone broke apart and looked around, casting out with the Force and their senses and preparing for battle.

Suddenly, Chiron pointed to the roof. "We have company."

Everyone's eyes followed her arm. On the top of the roof, the Amazon Trio and Amazoness Quartet stood. "We've been waiting for some new playmates!" Pallapalla shouted while balancing on a large ball. She quickly pushed off of it and flipped around, kicking it with her foot and sending it into the Senshi's midst.

It landed and exploded in a large fireball, but everyone was already dodging the blast. Dathomir and Jupiter leapt to the roof, lightsabers activated and ready.

The two landed and stood back to back. "You don't stand a chance," Jupiter coolly said as she swung her double-bladed lightsaber over her head, eventually bringing it down and pointing one end at the enemies.

Hawks-Eye smiled and motioned to the other side of the roof. "We might not, but they will."

Dathomir looked over and saw Petz and Lead Crow standing there. While the two Senshi readied themselves for a fight, the Amazon Trio, Cerecere, Vesves and Pallapalla jumped down from the roof, leaving Junjun up there to aid the other two.

At ground level, Sailors Chiron and Melodie stepped forward. The centaur crossed her arms in front of her and shouted, "Crystal Blizzard!" A dozen razor-sharp crystals appeared in front of Sailor Chiron, and when she separated her arms, they flew at the enemy.

At the same time, the slightly younger Melodie held her left hand out and softly said, "Purella Ensnarement!" A lavender energy web emerged from Melodie's hand and quickly grew in size as it sped toward the enemy. "Gotcha."

Fish-Eye held up his green, webbed hand and five throwing knives appeared out of thin air. The merman flung them at Melodie's net, slicing it apart and also back-flipped and twisted around, dodging Chiron's crystals before landing back where he was standing.

The two younger Senshi's jaws dropped in disbelief. "We're screwed," Melodie remarked.

Fish-Eye ran up to them, but was stopped when Sailor Pluto stepped between him and the two young Senshi. The guardian of time leveled her time staff at him and whispered, "Dead Scream."

A large roiling sphere of energy shot from the tip of her staff, hitting Fish-Eye dead-on and blowing him and the bracelets around his wrists apart. She turned to Chiron and Melodie and nodded. "Stick by me."

Mercury tugged on her earring and activated her scanning visor. A crystalline-blue visor materialized over her eyes, allowing her to scan the entrance to the warehouse. "The Sailor Anima-Mates and Phantom Sisters are coming out," she calmly said. "Get ready."

Tuxedos Ennth and Mask flanked Sailors Moon and Corellia. "We'll get them in," Ennth said, brandishing an orange rose. Just then, the loading doors at the side of the warehouse opened, allowing the Sailor Anima-Mates and Phantom Sisters to emerge.

Calaveras and Koan ran and charged Sailors Mars and Coruscant. Mars clasped her gloved hands together and quickly pulled them apart, forming a fiery bow and arrow. "Mars Flame Sniper!" she yelled, firing off a flaming arrow.

The two sisters dodged the attack. Calaveras unfurled her whip and snapped it, sending forth a bolt of violet electricity. The bolt hit Mars dead-on and wrapped around her, hurtling her back and sending her skidding into the dirt.

Coruscant snarled and held out her hand. A wavy sphere of energy appeared in it as she shouted, "Shockwave!" She threw it at Calaveras, but the brunette snapped her whip again and destroyed the projectile. Coruscant growled. "Damn it, why does that keep happening?"

Neo-Moon and Neo-Saturn ran over to Coruscant and Mars, but were stopped when Aluminum Seiren jumped in front. The ditzy Senshi licked her gloved hand and ran it across her long, blue hair, causing both Senshi's stomach to churn. "I didn't need to see that," Neo-Moon grumbled, clutching her stomach.

Aluminum Seiren's blue eyes gleamed as she held out her hands and shouted, "Galactica Tsunami!" Ribbons of bluish energy twirled around her and struck both Senshi dead on, knocking them back. Neo-Saturn landed with her right leg twisted beneath her body, snapping the femur in two. Her eyes closed as the pain threatened to overwhelm her…

Sailor Saturn and Tuxedo Titan saw their future daughter injured. "No!" Saturn shouted, her violet eyes hot with barely-contained anger.

Titan withdrew a blue rose from his cape and flung it at Aluminum Seiren, impaling her foot and pinning her to the ground. This allowed Saturn to walk up to the fallen Senshi, purple lightsaber in hand. Before she could even think, Aluminum Seiren's bracelets were destroyed by a quick slash from Saturn's lightsaber.

While the Senshi dissolved in a shower of light, Titan ran over to the injured Senshi, followed by Sailor Mercury. The blue-haired genius had a first-aid kit out and was checking Neo-Saturn. "She's out of the fight," Mercury said as she readied a collapsible splint. She looked back at Neo-Moon. "I'm guessing Chibi-Usa's not much better."

Titan helped Mercury. "Will she be all right?"

Mercury scanned Neo-Saturn with her visor. "She'll need rest, but I believe she'll be fine." She placed a hand on Neo-Saturn's forehead and concentrated, inducing a healing trance. "She's quite healthy." Mercury commented. Titan's blue eyes shone beneath the mask he wore. "She's a Solo, all right." Saturn soon walked over, Silence Glaive in hand. "I shall guard my daughter and best friend." She said, kneeling down in front of Neo-Saturn and Neo-Moon. Titan withdrew another rose and stood back to back with his girlfriend.

While a dozen battles raged around them, Sailors Moon and Corellia plunged ahead. Tuxedos Mask and Ennth flanked them while Luna trailed behind, her paws pumping in order to keep up. They burst through the door and ran for another five meters before stopping.

The door abruptly slammed shut, plunging them into total darkness. Mask unclipped his lightsaber and ignited it, sending forth a silvery blade. Corellia, Moon and Ennth soon followed with their own plasma blades.

Ennth's emerald eyes looked around. "Do I even have to say it?" he joked.

Corellia swatted him on the shoulder, but her brown eyes were soon drawn to a golden throne in the middle of the room.

A demon clad in onyx armor with the wings of a bat sat on the golden dais. "Now the two threats to my domination are here." Galaxia sat forward and flashed a fanged smile. "Which of you wants to die first?"

Luna looked up at Sailor Moon. "Do it, now!"

Sailor Moon glanced down at her mentor and nodded. In one smooth motion she deactivated her lightsaber and held out her hands. A large wand appeared in it. "Silver Crystal Power Kiss!" she shouted.

Corellia pointed her lightsaber at Galaxia and shouted, "Silver Crystal Saber Attack!" Twin beams of pure-white energy shot out and hit Galaxia, but they impacted an invisible shield about two meters before hitting Galaxia and strobed over it.

The demon examined her claws as if bored, then looked up with her blood-red eyes. "Pathetic." She gestured with her right hand, sending out a massive telekinetic shockwave that flung everyone back against the wall. Hard. "Now you pay for your ignorance."

Ennth let out a cry of pain. He looked up and saw Galaxia casually rise from her throne. She walked over and held up her hand. A ball of white energy formed in it. "I shall mount your starseeds on a special plaque," she said.

Moon groaned, sat up and shouted, "Where are they? Where are the souls of our friends?"

Galaxia turned at the waist and gestured to a spot behind her throne. Moon craned her neck over and gasped at the sight of twenty-two starseeds suspended in midair. Her eyes quickly focused on four in front.

Corellia blurted out, "Uncle Luke! Tionne! Haruka! Michiru!" She half-closed her eyes and painfully got to her feet. "I can't forgive you for this, Chaos. I won't forgive you!"

A sudden warmth flowed through her body and she instinctively held out her right hand, summoning her transformation wand once more. A new energy flowed through her as she shouted, "Corellia Eternal Power Makeup!"

A blizzard of feathers enveloped Sailor Corellia. When they disappeared, her uniform was now substantially different. Cloth wings were attached to her back and the black bow on the front of her Fuku was now feather-shaped. Her black ankle boots were now white knee-high boots with black trim at the top.

Luna got to her feet and stared at her. "She's as powerful as Usagi!" she whispered.

Tuxedos Mask and Ennth got to their feet, each with a rose in their hand. Galaxia scoffed. "So you have Eternal Power. It does not matter. I'll take your starseeds and those of your friends outside. Then there shall be nothing to stand in my way!"

Sailor Moon and Sailor Corellia exchanged a glance before raising their weapons and shouting,

"Silver Crystal Power Kiss!"

"Silver Crystal Saber Attack!"

Jupiter sent a palm strike at Petz, but the green-haired Phantom Sister blocked it and spun around, lashing out with her foot and tripping up the brunette Senshi. Jupiter's left hand shot out behind her and broke her fall, allowing her to roll through and end up back on her feet.

She brought her emerald-colored lightstaff into a defensive position and twirled it around, blocking several bolts of lightning unleashed by Petz. She hopped to her feet and suddenly dodged and rolled to the left, narrowly missing a kick from Junjun. Jupiter spun her double-bladed lightsaber around and swept up with the lower blade while deactivating the upper blade for more rotation and stability, nicking Junjun's chest and producing a small hole in the young woman's green dress.

The athletic amazon looked down at the hole with her green eyes and sneered. "You'll pay for that!" she yelled, jumping up, twisting in the air and landing behind Jupiter. The brunette Senshi turned to face her, but Junjun's foot lashed out in a back toe kick, hitting her arm and knocking away her lightsaber.

Sailors Dathomir and Lead Crow battled on the far side of the roof, . The dark-skinned Senshi hovered over Dathomir and fired off razor-sharp feathers from her wings.

Dathomir plunged herself into the Force, allowing it to direct her body. The Senshi of balance twisted and moved with fluid grace as she dodged every single feather. Lead Crow snarled and unfurled her whip. "I'm going to skin you alive."

Dathomir held out her hands and concentrated. Bluish flame fully engulfed her left hand as she shouted, "Dathomir Heatwave!" A tongue of flame shot out at Lead Crow and reduced her wings to ash.

Lead Crow gasped in unutterable pain and crashed to the roof. Dathomir walked up to her and heard Lead Crow muttering to her self. "…And I'm always hit or burnt. My wings have been destroyed more times than I can count." She looked up at Dathomir with her scarlet eyes and sighed. "End it now, please," she murmured, extending her arms.

Dathomir unclipped her lightsaber, ignited it and unsheathe her sakabato. With two quick slashes, she sliced apart the bracelets and destroyed the Sailor Lead Crow shell.

She turned and saw Jupiter tangling with Junjun and Petz. Jupiter leaned forward, dodging a strike from behind. Petz tried a low kick to the thigh, but Jupiter blocked it and rolled to the left.

She held her right hand up and concentrated, telekinetically summoning her lightstaff to her hand. The gray cylinder rolled around the ground just before jumping up and flying to Jupiter. It landed right in the palm of her hand, allowing her to activate the twin beams and swing them around in a see-saw motion, slashing across Petz's midsection and destroying the bracelets encircling Junjun's wrists.

The young woman fell to her knees even as her body dissolved in a shower of light. Petz, meanwhile, stumbled back as blood dripped down the front of her dark green dress. She turned around-and ran right into Dathomir.

The Senshi of balance brought her lightsaber and sakabato to the front before slashing out to the side in a blur, striking the golden bracelets encircling Petz's wrists and destroying the shell.

Jupiter walked over to Dathomir and motioned to the field in front of the warehouse. "We'd better go help our friends."

The redhead nodded gravely. "That is a fact." Her gray eyes looked over the battlefield, and her eyebrows shot up in shock. "I only hope there are friends to help when we get there!"

Sailors Chiron and Melodie stood back to back, both scared and neither knowing what to do. After some initial successes, the fight had now swung in the favor of Galaxia's army. Badly in their favor.

Except for Fish-Eye and Aluminum Seiren, the rest of Galaxia's army was intact. Melodie's eyes swept from side to side and the young woman let out a gasp. Except for her, Chiron, Mercury, Tatooine and Sailor Pluto, everyone else was out of the fight. Sailors Mars, Alderaan, Saturn, Neo-Saturn, Neo-Moon, Mars, Hapes and Titan were injured, while Coruscant, Lowie, Chewie, Aldera, Bespin and Venus were being held by some…plant in the middle of the field.

Cerecere stood in front of it and directed its vines with her hands. Beady black eyes looked about, and a haughty air clung to her. "Well, my plant's turned the tide of the battle just like that!"

Pallapalla bounced up and down on her heels and clapped giddily behind her. Hawks-Eye ran his fingers through his flame-red hair and sighed melodramatically. "It's not over, yet. We still have the scrap to deal with."

Tatooine's green eyes went wide at the insult. "How dare you! I'm a Jedi Knight and Sailor Senshi, not a soulless automaton like you jerks!" The five Senshi moved close to one spot for better defense.

Pluto kept her time staff in one hand while she held her lightsaber at guard in the other. Suddenly, Pallapalla held out her right hand and a small ball appeared in her delicate palm. "Here's another present!"

The ball floated up and shot at Pluto, but the guardian of time was ready. She brought her golden-colored lightsaber up and slashed at the ball, but the Jedi Master's danger sense went off-a fraction of a second late. The two halves reformed themselves after being split in two and smacked Pluto right in the face.

Blood spurted from her nose, and her right eye puffed and swelled shut. She dropped her lightsaber and stumbled back. Tigers-Eye used that opportunity and snapped his whip at Pluto, wrapping the thin strip of leather around the Senshi of time and immobilizing her.

Hawks-Eye looked at Chiron with his sharp eyes and chuckled. "Now then, dear, why don't you save yourself some pain?"

The centaur gritted her teeth and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Five crystals formed in front of her and she shouted, "Crystal Blizzard!" hurtling the crystals at the flamboyant birdman.

He smirked and held his gloved hands out, forming a barrier in front that easily deflected away Chiron's attack. "Your pitiful cubic zirconia won't work," he sneered, cracking his whip.

Chiron's brown eyes glanced at Melodie. "We need more power!" Suddenly, both Senshi felt a wave of power flash through their bodies and souls.

Sailor Mercury looked up from tending to Sailor Pluto and shouted. "It's your star power! Summon your transformation wand and shout 'Star Power Makeup!'"

The two Senshi nodded and concentrated for a moment. Their transformation wands appeared in front of both before they both dissolved and reformed itself. The Chironian and Melodie reached out and grabbed it, shouting twin cries to the day.

"Chiron Star Power Makeup!"

"Melodie Star Power Makeup!"

A bright light engulfed the pair and, when it faded, they stood in slightly altered Senshi uniforms. The ribbon tied at the small of the back was now double-pleated, and a small neckband encircled their neck. Chiron suddenly thrust her hands out in front and concentrated. A light blue spear topped by a crystalline spear point materialized in front of her and she pointed it at Hawks-Eye. "Crystal Blast!"

A pencil-thin beam of sapphire energy shot out of the spear's tip-and passed right under Hawk-Eye's armpit. His body froze while his shoulders shuddered. "Nice aim!" he said in an attempt to cover up his sheer terror.

Melodie's yellow eyes narrowed as she tracked the course of the beam. "She wasn't aiming at you, idiot."

In the back, Cerecere let out a wail, dropped to her knees and held out her arms. "My baby! How could you kill it!"

The entirety of Galaxia's army turned back to Cerecere's plant, now with a large hole in its stem and greenish ooze flowing out. The vines holding the prisoners slackened and dropped them to the ground.

Sailor Venus landed on her feet, collapsing to one knee to lessen the impact. She pointed at Cerecere and shouted, "Crescent Beam!" A golden beam of energy shot out from her fingertip and hit the bracelet encircling Cerecere's left wrist, shattering it.

The shell of the young woman staggered back, only to have her other bracelet destroyed by the stem of a red-pedaled rose. Her black eyes went wide as her body disintegrated.

Chewie and Lowie readied their bowcasters and fired off several dozen rounds of explosive quarrels. The explosive-laden arrows hit the ground, sending up shockwaves that boxed in Galaxia's army and also sent up a dust cloud. [Prepare for oblivion, spawns of hell!]

Tuxedo Aldera turned to his longtime friend and smiled. "Nice job, pal."

Chewie roared and fired off another quarrel, catching Sailor Tin Nyanko in the chest and pitching the felinoid back. [Same to you, Honor Brother. And the tux looks good on you, too.]

Suddenly, Aldera's brown eyes looked up and he tracked two females dropping from the roof to the ground.

"Is this a private party?" Sailor Jupiter began.

"Or can we attend as well?" Sailor Dathomir finished. The two muscular Senshi stood back to back, lightsabers and sakabato ready. Jupiter's arms were enveloped in lightning while both of Dathomir's arms had blue flame flickering around.

At the opposite side of the field, Mercury cupped her hands together and concentrated. A ball of bluish-white energy formed. "Shabon Spray!", she shouted, throwing the ball at the dust cloud. It exploded into a large fog, blinding everyone inside.

Aldera flashed them a smile. "Am I glad to see you!" He motioned to the dust cloud. "Pick your targets, ladies and Wookiees."

Inside the fog, Calaveras looked around and noted the immense confusion and panic setting in. She gritted her teeth and looked for a way out. "I'm not dying here!" she yelled. Suddenly, she felt something grab her leg.

She looked down with her brown eyes and saw an eviscerated Tin Nyanko gripping her leg. "Don't…leave me!" she gasped out.

Calaveras gritted her teeth and lashed out with her whip. "Our partnership is over," she coolly said, destroying the bracelet encircling the felinoid's right wrist. Tin Nyanko's golden-colored eyes went glassy as she saw Calaveras leap into the air.

Sailor Bespin looked up and saw Calaveras making her escape. "Oh, no you don't!" she shouted. Yellowish flames gathered in her hands as she shouted, "Tibanna Flames!" pitching the fireballs at Calaveras. Unfortunately, they exploded before ever reaching the escaping Phantom Sister. "Shavit," she swore, gritting her teeth.

Aldera looked over at her. "Hey, fire isn't usually a long-range weapon. I think you did pretty good."

Bespin regarded her former nemesis. "Thanks, Han."

On the other side of the field, Mercury activated her visor and scanned the cloud with her mini-computer while Jupiter tossed Sparkling Wide pressures into the cloud and Dathomir punched the air, sending Rancor Roundhouses into the morass. She counted only six left in the cloud.

She half-closed her blue eyes and concentrated, dispersing the cloud. Tigers-Eye and Fish-Eye were kneeling on the ground, tired but unhurt. Iron Mouse had lost her right arm and had blood trailing down the side of her face, Vesves had a large hole in her chest, while her friend Pallapalla was now missing a leg. And finally, Tin Nyanko was lying on the ground with an equally large hole in her chest and only one bracelet left.

Melodie sighed and walked up to them. "It's over. Surrender, and your deaths shall be quick."

Hawks-Eye laughed the laugh of the damned. "No, we won't." He spun to his feet and held out a flaming stick. He blew on the fire, sending out a long, thin spray of flame.

Melodie's yellow eyes flashed and she raised her right hand. A crescent-shaped energy boomerang formed in her hand. "Claw of Death!" she shouted, tossing the energy blade at Hawks-Eye. It hit the bracelet on his right wrist first and ricocheted off, striking the bracelet on his left wrist. His blue eyes went glassy and he fell to the ground, his body fading into nothingness.

The pink energy boomerang landed in Melodie's hand and disappeared. "Sweet!" she exclaimed, grinning.

Chiron trotted over to her. "Can't we let them live if they surrender?" she asked. "It doesn't feel right to simply kill them."

Iron Mouse's voice sounded out. "We won't surrender, horse lady. We will fight you until the death." The petite Senshi posted her left arm under her and pushed up to her feet.

She ran at Chiron, but Sailor Tatooine, standing behind Chiron, struck the ground with her Gaffi Stick and shouted, "Tatooine Groundquake!" An orange sphere shot out and traveled along the ground, ripping it up and intercepting Iron Mouse, exploding right in front of her. The shockwave obliterated the golden bracelets and pitched her body back into the dirt. All that was left of her was a pair of mouse ears.

Vesves unclipped her whip from her belt and uncoiled it. "I'll take at least one of you down!' The redheaded magician grabbed a handful of beads from a bag on her belt and tossed them to the ground, creating a large flash and cloud of smoke.

Chiron and Melodie shielded their eyes for a moment, and when they looked again, Vesves was right in front of them! "Die!" she snarled. Before she could do anything, several dozen energy ribbons hit her, slicing her arms off and obliterating her bracelets. Vesves' body dissolved as she stood there, her mouth agape in shock.

Chiron's eyes tracked the path of the ribbons, looked over and saw Sailor Neo-Saturn standing, Silence Glaive in hand. "You have met oblivion." she rasped out. The infinitely sharp blades topping the polearm, once glowing brightly with rainbow colors, faded into a dull sheen. The young Senshi walked up to Sailors Chiron and Melodie, a slight limp to her walk. "Are you all right?"

Melodie let out a breath. "Are we okay? Are you okay?" She looked at Neo-Saturn's right leg. There was a large bruise where the break happened, but the thin leg was more or less straight.

The younger Senshi of death shrugged nonchalantly. "Ami's healing trance helped out, and I inherited my mother's natural healing ability." She turned her violet eyes to the remaining members of Galaxia' army and readied her glaive. "We must finish this quickly."

The three turned back to Tigers-Eye, Pallapalla and Tin Nyanko. And of the trio, only Tigers-Eye looked like he could mount any kind of offense.

Across the field, Sailor Venus raised her right arm and concentrated. A golden chain appeared around her arm. "Venus Love Me Chain!" she shouted. She swung it around over her head and shot it at the last member of the Amazon Trio.

He backflipped out of reach of the heart-shaped links and held up his hand. Three small throwing knives appeared in it and he tossed them at the blond Senshi.

Venus latched onto the knives with the Force, stopping their flight. She turned them around and telekinetically shot them at the surprised Tigers-Eye.

Pure reflex caused him to bring his arms in front of his face and bare chest, allowing the knives to hit the bracelets and destroy them. He dropped to the ground and vanished within seconds.

Pallapalla sat up and shouted. "It's not fair! It's not fair! Her small face scrunched up in anger. "You'll pay for that!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Sailor Chiron raised her spear and shouted, "Crystal Blast!" The light-blue energy beam shot out of the spear tip twice, hitting Pallapalla's bracelets with pinpoint accuracy and destroying them. Now all that was left was Sailor Tin Nyanko.

The felinoid spat out blood and held out her left arm. "Just end it."

Tuxedo Aldera nodded and summoned a rose. With a flick of the wrist, it hit stem-first and destroyed the bracelet and Tin Nyanko. He wiped sweat from his brow before running over to the injured. "Leia!" he yelled, kneeling by his wife. "Are you all right?"

The Senshi of peace looked up and nodded. "I'm fine, you nerf herder," she said, tweaking his nose and smirking. Tuxedo Aldera sighed and swept Sailor Alderaan up for the mother of all kisses.

Sailor Melodie walked up to Neo-Saturn, Mercury and Chiron. "Now what?" she asked.

Mercury looked at the warehouse and then turned back to Melodie. "I can't feel anything over there, so we wait and tend to the wounded."

The yellow-eyed Senshi nodded and motioned to the Senshi still on the ground. "We'd better work fast. If Jaina and Usagi fail, we are all that stands between our realities and Chaos."
