Wildflower1014-Thanks! I'm almost good with action. ;)

Amber Pegasus-Thank you. This part is almost over.

ZeldaTheSwordsman-Wow, thanks! I'll keep going.

Talia Kirana-Thank you. I try to make sure those not familiar with one side won't be TOO lost.

And no, I don't own the song Minako sings. It's 'Moonlight Densetsu'.

Here we go!

Chapter Nine: Fight to the Finish!

Sailor Corellia's arms shook with preternatural exhaustion. She and Sailor Moon had been firing their attacks at Galaxia for the past ten minutes but so far the demon was able to stop the twin beams of Light Side energy. Neither was she able to mount an attack of her own, though.

Tuxedos Mask and Ennth stood off to the side, not sure what to do. "How can we help?" Ennth asked as desperation mounted in his soul.

Tuxedo Mask held up his arm and shielded his eyes from one powerful flash of light. "We must get to the Senshi and lend them our power. Only then will they be able to seal Chaos away and save Galaxia."

Ennth nodded and began to make his way to Corellia, but a particularly large energy discharge knocked him back. He regained his footing with some help and looked over at Mask. "Okay, what's plan B?"

Mask gritted his teeth and thought for a moment. "I'll send Usako a message." The young man reached out with the Force and sent Sailor Moon a message. Distract her!

To the young man's horror, but not his surprise, Sailor Moon dropped her wand and looked over at him. "What was that?"

Corellia's eyes widened in horror. "Usagi, you idiot! What are you-" She was interrupted when a telekinetic shove from Galaxia hit her full on in the chest and shoved her into the wall. The Senshi of mechanics slid down the wall, leaving behind a sizeable dent in the steel.

Tuxedo Ennth's green eyes went wide in panic. "Jaina!" he yelled, running to his girlfriend. Galaxia waved and fired off several energy bolts at him, but the agile and wiry young man dodged and ducked each one, finally reaching Corellia. He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her up. "Jaina? Jaina?" he half-shouted, panic creeping in.

Corellia's brown eyes slowly opened, and her face scrunched up in pain. "Zekk…what happened?" She asked him.

Ennth turned to Galaxia and held up his hand, summoning four roses between his fingers. He flung them at the demon, hitting the barrier and slightly weakening it.

Corellia posted her arms beneath her and attempted to get up, but her arms failed her. Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask ran over, with tears stinging the blond Senshi's blue eyes. "Jaina, I'm sorry! I didn't-"

Corellia cut her off with a wave of her hand. "It's okay. And heck, it got us all together."

Usagi's face changed from one of sorrow to one of mischief. "I know. That was a good plan you sent me, Jaina."

With aid from Tuxedo Ennth, Sailor Corellia got to her feet. She held her lightsaber up and pointed it at the demon Galaxia. "Chaos, your time is over! We're sealing you up for good!"

Sailor Moon turned around and also posed while speaking. "That's right! It's time you were sent back to the Cauldron." The two Senshi raised their weapons once more. And this time, their soulmates grabbed onto them as well.

Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask both shouted, "Silver Crystal Power Kiss!"

At the same time, Sailor Corellia and Tuxedo Ennth shouted, "Silver Crystal Saber Attack!"

The two beams of pure-white energy shot out once more, but they were much, much more powerful than before. They struck the barrier surrounding Galaxia and punched through with no pause, hitting the demon full on.

Galaxia's scarlet eyes went wide in shock as Chaos was separated from her body. In everyone's mind, the demon's plaintive shouts could be heard. "No, no! I will not be sealed away…" The leathery wings on Galaxia's back disintegrated, her armor turned from onyx to gold, and her skin took on a more 'human' color tone.

The barrier behind the throne holding the captive starseeds shattered. All twenty-two starseeds flew out of the warehouse and traveled to where they belonged.

On a planet orbiting Alpha Centauri, two starseeds landed and, with a flash of light, turned back into En and Ali. The two aliens looked around. "I hope never to go through that again," En whispered, a shiver running down her spine.

Ali embraced his lover and shook his head. "If we do, I hope we'll go back to Earth so Sailor Moon can heal us."

En smiled and sighed before looking up at Ali with suspicious red eyes. "And why would you like to see her again? Do you still have a thing for her?"

On four planets across the Milky Way Galaxy, Sailors Lead Crow, Tin Nyanko, Aluminum Seiren and Iron Mouse reappeared in a flash of light.

Lead Crow flexed her left arm and smiled, taking off into the skies above her homeworld of Coronis. "I'm free!"

Aluminum Seiren went looking for some doughnuts.

Iron Mouse somersaulted in pure joy, while Tin Nyanko polished her bazooka and sighed in utter relief.

In the land of dreams known as Elysion, Tigers-Eye, Hawks-Eye and Fish-Eye materialized in front of King Helios, master of Elysion. The three men bowed and looked up at the youngish-looking man.

"The Amazon Trio has returned!" Hawks-Eye proclaimed.

Helios nodded, a grim look on his young face. "I am sorry for not aiding you when you were kidnapped. There was no way for me to match Galaxia's power."

Fish-Eye shrugged. "Hey, it happens." He looked around. "So, what's been going on?"

In a Tokyo apartment, the Phantom Sisters appeared, clad once more in their business attire. Berthier's blue eyes looked over at the flashing answering machine. With a bit of trepidation, the genius hit the 'playback' button. "You have 216 new messages," the machine intoned.

Meanwhile, Calaveras and Koan made a dash for the bathroom. "I need makeup, now!" Koan shouted.

Petz's green eyes looked about the apartment, and the eldest Phantom Sister sighed. It's good to be home.

In Tokyo Park, the Amazoness Quartet appeared next to a destroyed tent and a smashed guitar case. Pallapalla's eyes looked at her destroyed home and she pouted. "It's all ruined!" she whined, stomping the ground and gnashing her teeth.

Cerecere patted her on the shoulder in reassurance. "Don't worry, we'll rebuild."

Vesves and Junjun both nodded, and the four sisters went to work rebuilding their home.

Four starseeds floated out of the warehouse and into the cratered field in front. Sailors Coruscant and Alderaan approached the brightest starseed, disbelief on their faces. "It can't be," Coruscant murmured.

Suddenly, all four starseeds glowed and expanded into humanoid shapes. The light from each one faded, revealing Luke, Tionne, Haruka and Michiru. The Jedi Master looked over to his wife and sister. "Miss me?" he half-joked.

Tears streamed down both women's faces as they embraced him. "Don't you ever do that again!" Coruscant wailed, while Alderaan patted her brother on the back and choked down the tears.

Tuxedo Aldera and Chewie ran over to their best friend. "Luke, am I glad to see you!" Aldera yelled.

Chewie roared. [As am I! By the Mother Forest, you look great!]

Luke broke the embrace and walked up to Aldera. He looked over his brother-in-law and quipped, "Nice tux."

Chewie let out a roar of laughter, while Aldera wiped away a tear. "Thanks, but I still don't look as good as you did."

Sailor Saturn and Tuxedo Titan walked up to Haruka and Michiru, hand in hand. The diminutive Senshi of death let got and hugged her guardians. "I missed you!"

Haruka smiled, but a small tingling caused her to look up just as a slightly smaller Sailor Saturn approached.

She stopped and bowed. "I am honored to meet you, grandparents." She straightened up and looked at Haruka and Michiru.

Michiru's right eye twitched. "Umm, how long were we captured for?" she asked.

Haruka's blue eyes glanced at the young girl. She lightly probed her with the Force and smiled. Looks like Hotaru won, she thought. Two seconds later, Michiru elbowed her best friend in the ribs and she winced.

Tionne looked about and saw Mercury, Pluto and Melodie heading her way. Pluto gave her best friend a brief hug. "I'm glad you're all right," the Senshi of time said.

Tionne nodded and sighed. "That was…hellish," she admitted.

Mercury bowed to her and smiled. "Our research was right, Tionne."

The Senshi of wisdom smirked. "Really? I never would've guessed." Her hand shot out and she mussed up Mercury's blue locks, causing her to squirm a bit.

Everyone's eyes turned to the warehouse as their danger senses went into overdrive. The doors exploded off their hinges and Tuxedos Ennth and Mask, and Sailors Corellia and Moon exited. However, the men were helping the women out while flinging red and orange roses over their shoulders! "We got trouble!" Ennth yelled.

Right behind them, Sailor Galaxia emerged. Her scarlet eyes burned and a look of pure fury was etched on her regal features. "You fools! You sealed Chaos away!"

Luke glanced at Corellia and Moon. "Isn't that good?" he asked.

Corellia looked up at her uncle. Pure exhaustion was on her face as she spat out the words. "It… is good. Chaos shall not… emerge from the Cauldron for the next ten billion years." She soon lost consciousness and was gently lowered to the ground by Ennth.

"I don't know what happened," the young bounty hunter said. "Galaxia just started firing off energy blasts at us."

Tuxedo Mask helped Moon over to Corellia's side. "Her soul has been corrupted."

Luke reached out with the Force and scanned Galaxia, never expecting to feel such…evil from her. "You struck a deal with Chaos!"

Galaxia sneered. "I fought at first, but after a while, I decided I liked the power."

The Jedi Master raised his right hand and concentrated. A black rose formed in it and his jumpsuit melted into a tuxedo complete with top hat, red cape and white mask over his eyes. Tionne, Haruka and Michiru, meanwhile, raised their arms and concentrated, summoning their transformation wands. Three cries went into the sky.

"Yavin Star Power Makeup!"

"Uranus Crystal Power Makeup!"

"Neptune Crystal Power Makeup!"

All three women were enveloped by a flash of light, and when it faded, Sailors Yavin, Uranus and Neptune stood there.

Galaxia held up her hands and they glowed with unreleased power. "I'm going to roast your souls in Hell!" she shouted. "Prepare for oblivion!"

In response, Sailor Mercury cupped her hands together and concentrated. A bluish-white sphere of energy formed in it. She shouted, "Shabon Spray!" and threw it at the fallen Senshi. It expanded into a dense fog, surrounding her and blinding her.

Tuxedo Jedi glanced at Hapes, Titan, Ennth, Aldera and Mask. Each one flicked their wrist in Galaxia's direction, throwing a rose at Galaxia. Three impaled themselves in Galaxia's armor, cracking the golden plates. And the other three hit her in the face petals-first, blinding her.

Every Sailor Senshi except for Mercury concentrated, summoning their power for one, final strike against Galaxia. Sailor Mars clasped her hands together and pulled them apart, leaving a trail of fire in their wakes that formed a bow and arrow. "Mars Flame Sniper!" she shouted, launching a fiery arrow at the cloud.

Jupiter held out her right hand clenched her fingers. A ball of electricity formed in it and she threw it underhand into the cloud while shouting, "Sparkling Wide Pressure!"

Venus merely pointed at the cloud as a golden beam of light shot from her finger. "Crescent Beam!"

Uranus held her Space Sword in one hand and her lightsaber in the other. She slashed down at the ground with both, leaving two trails of energy in their wake that shoot at Galaxia. "Double Space Sword Blaster!"

Neptune held her gloved hands high and concentrated. A large sphere of watery energy formed above her head. "Deep…" she began. The Senshi of the sea dropped her arms and let go of the energy sphere, finishing the attack phrase. "…Submerge!"

Saturn and Neo-Saturn held their Silence Glaives out in front and pointed the twin blades at the cloud. The blades glowed a blinding white as mother and daughter shouted, "Death Ribbon Revolution!" Dozens of razor-sharp rainbow-colored beams shot out in a frenzy of destruction.

Neo-Moon brandished out a small wand and shouted, "Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" Dozens of small, heart-shaped blasts shot out from the top of the wand.

Pluto aimed the top of her time staff at the cloud and whispered, "Dead Scream." The bright-red jewel at the top of the staff glowed before a roiling sphere of violet energy shot out and sped to the trapped Senshi.

Bluish fire enveloped Dathomir's gloved hands. She shouted, "Dathomir Heatwave!" as twin streams of fire lanced out.

Tatooine struck the ground with her gaffi stick and shouted, "Tatooine Groundquake!" The tip of the gaffi stick flashed and a large ball of orange energy sped to the cloud, ripping up the ground in its wake.

Yavin raised her arms, pointed and shouted, "Chain of Annihilation!" The two silvery chains wound around her arms shot forth and sped to Galaxia, almost seeming alive as they snapped and writhed.

Chiron aimed her spear at Galaxia and shouted, "Crystal Blast!" A thin blue beam shot from the tip, focused and powerful.

Melodie held out her hand and concentrated. An energy boomerang formed in it. She shouted, "Claw of Death" and threw it with all her might. "Eat this!"

Coruscant held out her hand and a wavy sphere of energy coalesced in it. She reared back and pitched it while yelling, "Shockwave!"

Yellowish fireballs formed in Bespin's hands. She threw them underhand at Galaxia while shouting, "Bespin Flames!"

Onyx lightning gathered around Alderaan's legs. The bolts sped up to her hands and shot out at the cloud while the Senshi of life shouted, "Twilight Pulse!"

And finally, Lowie and Chewie fired bolt after explosive bolt from their bowcasters into the cloud while roaring themselves hoarse.

Galaxia had no time to scream, look or even think. With Mercury's Shabon Spray obscuring all of her senses and the roses directly obscuring her sight, she had no way to prepare any sort of defense. All nineteen attacks struck simultaneously, disintegrating her body with a blinding flash of light.

When the light faded and the dust settled, all that was of the galaxy's strongest Senshi was a battered crown.

Luna and Artemis walked up to it. "She didn't deserve this," Luna said.

Artemis looked over at her and arched an eyebrow. "I'm not too sure, Luna. Galaxia did eventually go along with Chaos, after all."

Luna looked back at the Senshi and Jedi as they realized what they had done. A smile lit her feline features and she licked her paw. "You did it! You pulled together and won." She walked over to Tuxedo Jedi and bounded up onto his shoulders while Artemis walked over to Sailor Venus.

"We'd better get out of here," Venus said. "Authorities will be here any minute."

Ennth scooped Corellia into his arms. "Go home, then we'll meet at Rei's temple in two hours." And with that, he leapt into the air and out of sight.

Aldera looked up at their receding forms and placed his hands on his hips. "Who said he could manhandle my daughter that way? By the silver light of-Stop it!" he said, his voice rising.

Sailor Alderaan patted her husband on his arm and smirked. "Han, it'll be all right. Zekk's a good man." Her eyes suddenly narrowed. "

Tuxedo Mask scooped his wife into his arms. "We shall see you again. Adieu." And with that, he jumped up into the sky. Everyone soon followed their leads and dispersed, making their way to their homes.

Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru stood in front of their destroyed house while Anakin, Tomo and Tahiri stood behind the pair, not sure what to do or say.

The tomboyish woman clenched her fist in the air. "It'll take a month to fix this!" she growled out.

Michiru patted her on the shoulder. "There, there. The house can be fixed." She held her hands up to her face as if in prayer and her sea-blue eyes sparkled as she imagined the work. "I can redecorate-and buy all-new furniture!"

Haruka rolled her eyes and turned away from the house, muttering all the while.

While the two adults 'talked', the four teens walked around the devastated front yard. Tahiri glanced at Anakin and Hotaru out of the corner of her eye. The two were holding hands and were almost touching shoulders. She let out a rather loud sigh and crossed her arms. "Are you two finished?"

Hotaru's violet eyes turned to her friend. "Sorry," she muttered, not quite sure what to do or say around Tahiri.

Tahiri rolled her eyes. "I was kidding!" She walked over and tried to hit Hotaru on the top of her head, but the Senshi of death was too quick. She grabbed Tahiri's arm and pulled her in for a noogie.

"Argh!" she cried out. "I'm getting a noogie!" Anakin and Tomo both stifled a laugh, causing Tahiri and Hotaru to turn their heads and glare at the two.

The young man ran his finger along his collar and backed up for a few steps before turning and running from the two. "Come back here!" Tahiri shouted, shaking her fist.

Hotaru cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted, "We're gonna get you!"

Tomo simply looked on with her violet eyes and shook her head. "They never changed," she observed before a grin blossomed on her pale features. "I'm so glad!"

Luke, Mara and Rei sat around a table in the living area of the temple. Luke read a datapad and conferred with Mara before turning to Rei. "I believe you have all shown yourselves to be exemplary Jedi Knights. After one final test, there shall be a graduation ceremony for you two weeks before the wedding."

Rei's midnight-black eyes went wide. She straightened up and bowed her head at the Jedi Masters. "I shall be honored," she said.

Mara's eyes fell upon Rei. "You've gotten over your anger problems quite well, Rei. Your mother is proud of you."

Rei's mouth turned upward in a wistful smile at her words. "I believe you're right, Mistress Jade." She looked down and checked her watch. "I'd better get the back courtyard ready for when everyone shows up."

She rose to her feet, but was surprised when Mara also got to her feet. "We'll help you," she said. "I like that yard a lot."

At that, Luke also sprang to his feet. "Oh, no you don't!"

Mara looked over in shock. "What-"

The Jedi Master cut her off with a wave of his hand. "You are in no condition to do anything, Mara!" She began to protest, but Luke crossed his arms in front of his chest and shook his head. "I mean it," he said, a slight scowl on his face.

He helped Mara sit back down at the table before walking off with Rei. She scowled for a moment, but it quickly turned into one of thought. It might not be so bad, having farmboy wait on me hand and foot for eight and a half months!

Jaina and Usagi sat on the couch, both utterly exhausted. "I can't believe Galaxia was corrupted," Usagi pouted.

Jaina sighed. "I feel awful about it too, but she couldn't be saved. We tried-"

Usagi quickly cut her off. "No! There is no try!" She turned her head to the side and grimaced, taking a moment to compose herself. "Isn't that what you taught me?"

The brown-haired woman nodded, albeit reluctantly. "Yeah. We wanted to save Galaxia. She simply didn't want to be saved."

Zekk and Mamoru sat at the table in the kitchen, the two men discussing their lives over two cups of orange juice. "You lost your memory at age six?" Zekk asked.

Mamoru nodded and took a sip of juice. "Yes. It was in an auto accident that also killed my parents."

Zekk shook his head, sending his ponytail swishing about his shoulders. "My own parents were killed during a groundquake on my homeworld of Ennth. I don't remember much about them."

Mamoru mulled his words before he raised his glass in a toast. "To our parents, then. May they be one with the Force."

Zekk nodded and clinked his glass with Mamoru's before downing the rest of his juice. He set the glass down with a thud and stood up. "Let's go, ladies. Time's a wasting."

Usagi looked over with her big, blue eyes. Her lips quivered as she spoke. "Aw, come on! Can't we have five more minutes?"

Jaina nodded and stifled a yawn. "Yeah. I'm still a bit tired."

Zekk exchanged a glance with Mamoru. "Do you have to go through this every day?"

The guardian of Earth hung his head. "You have no idea," he meekly said.

Two hours later
Everyone gathered at Rei's temple. After a few minutes of idle chitchat, Luke stepped out to the middle of the group and everyone quieted down. His wise eyes scanned the crowd as he spoke. "I must say, first off, how proud I am of all of you. Chaos shall not be free for another ten billion years, and when it does manage to free itself, we shall be ready." He cleared his throat before continuing. "In two weeks, we'll be leaving for Yavin IV. We'll have a graduation ceremony for you, followed by Jacen and Tenel Ka's wedding. Is there anything pressing that must be attended to?"

Haruka raised her arm. "We'll have to get a construction company over to our house before we leave. That way we'll have a house ready for when we get back."

Minako also raised her hand and cleared her throat, gaining everyone's attention. "I'll have to tell my manager that after this brief tour, I'll be unavailable for a bit." Her bright blue eyes suddenly brightened and she pointed up. "Oh! You'll have to attend my farewell concert before we leave!"

Leia turned to Han. "Han, make a note on that."

Han rolled his eyes at her and sighed. "Yes, dear."

Hotaru stepped forward. The young woman shifted a bit before speaking. "Umm, I have something I'd like to announce." Everyone turned to her, and she felt herself blush. "After this year, I'll only have one more year of high school. When I graduate, I'm going to the reality with the New Republic."

Shock played over Haruka and Michiru's face. "Are you sure?" Michiru asked.

The petite teen nodded. "I want to be with Anakin," she said, glancing at him.

Anakin's blue eyes flashed in support and he smiled. "Thank you." he said, reaching out to take her hand in his.

Hotaru looked down and mumbled incoherently, her face glowing.

Setsuna looked over at Chibi-Usa and Tomo. "Shouldn't you two be going?" she asked. "You know the rules about time travel."

Chibi-Usa shook her head. "Nope!" She stuck her hand into her pocket and pulled out an old holograph. She held it up to the light and it glowed. It showed a wedding party in front of the Great Temple on Yavin IV. Setsuna's eyes narrowed as she saw both Tomo and Chibi-Usa in the front row.

She ran her fingers through her long, dark green hair and sighed. "Well, if you were meant to be there, I guess you can stay." Chibi-Usa and Tomo jumped up and cheered.

Jacen spoke up. "Well, what are we waiting for?"

Luke glanced back at his nephew and grinned. "Nothing, Jacen." He motioned to the door with his cybernetic right hand. "We have much to prepare for." His eyes went glassy as a vision assaulted him…

Jaina stood at a balcony overlooking a courtyard with Zekk by her side, both were dressed in formal wear. The scene expanded to that of a planet that shouldn't be there.

The vision shrank again, but instead of focusing on Jaina and Zekk again, he saw Mamoru and Usagi. He was struck by how youthful they looked and how mature both couples carried themselves. He then saw Sailor Senshi and Jedi Knights fighting side by side against some unknown enemy. Some of them were familiar to him, others not…

Luke felt his shoulder being shook. He blinked his eyes twice, finally coming out of his daze. He looked over his shoulder and saw Leia there. "Are you all right?" she asked.

Luke breathed out and groaned. "How did the old Jedi Masters handle sudden disorienting visions?" he whined.

One day before takeoff
Tokyo Stadium was jam packed for the final concert of Aino Minako's tour. Two whole skyboxes had to be reserved to fit everyone in. Leia and Han sat together and looked down. "We haven't done this in quite a bit," he whispered, wrapping his arm around her.

Leia snuggled in close and took a handful of popcorn. "We should do it more often," she said, taking a mouthful of the popped kernels. Her brown eyes crossed as she tasted it. "Oh, this is so good!"

On stage, Minako's band did some final tuning before the first song. Anakin pointed to the middle of the stage as a trap door opened and a platform raised. "Here she comes."

Twenty-nine pairs of eyes simultaneously rolled into the backs of their heads when they saw her stage costume. Minako wore a silvery Sailor Fuku with a bright orange bow on front and an equally bright neon-orange miniskirt. She even held a microphone that was shaped rather like her transformation wand. Orange sandals and elbow-length gloves completed the ensemble.

She waved to the crowd and spoke into the microphone. "Thank you, thank you all! This is the final concert of my 'warrior of love' tour, but I'll be back with a new album in a month." The crowd roared its approval, and Minako launched into her number one hit, 'Moonlight Densetsu.'

MIRAKURU ROMANSU (Miracle romance)

Mara stifled a chuckle. "She's an awesome singer, but this isn't really my type of music." She turned to Luke-and froze. Her jaw dropped as she saw him swaying to the music-swaying!

She elbowed him in the ribs. "Hey!" he shouted. "I was listening to that."

Mara slumped in her chair and sighed. It was going to be a long night.

Please read and review.
