Kurai descends into the Cauldron.

"Save everything... Whether or not I can do it... I don't know... But..."

"We're always with you," say the Vampirates.

"Fight without hesitation," says Darren.

"There is always hope and rebirth," says Ahiru.

"The sailor crystals are our hope," says Larten.

Kurai enters Chaos.

"Our hope."

Her clothes peel into feathers blowing away as she flows through the light.

"Vampirates sleeping inside the Cauldron. Sailor crystals. And my many friends across the galaxy. Please. Please give me strength!"

"Ohhhh," says Chaos.

A glowing light rises out of the Cauldron.

A winged figure is bathed in power.

"Ultimate Power!" Kurai calls out.

The souls shoot out in all directions at Chaos.

"Ohhh! Are you trying to break me apart!? Stop! Ohhhh!"

Chaos screams as the souls envelop it.

"I feel all their power..." Kurai thinks. "Throughout my body... Now I can rescue them... From inside here..."

Her body melts away as she drops into the Cauldron.

Lights burst into the air.

"The souls of the sailor soldiers scattered in the Cauldron," says a figure, "are returning to their original forms, and going back to their own planets."

Kurai sees the woman's face.

"Ahiru?"

"They are all still just souls born from the Cauldron, but as they reach their respective homes, they will grow, and return to their forms of before."

"It can't be," says Kurai. "Am I...dead?"

"No," says the woman. "This power of rebirth is the realization of the power of all the galaxy's sailor crystals as one. This is the Cosmos' powers, making everything into the static Cosmos, the ultimate Power."

"Cosmos!? Ultimate Power!? Who are you...?"

The woman in a with large wings, stands before them.

"I am Cosmos. I am your true self"

"Cosmos!?" says Kurai. "It can't be... It can't be... Are you me!?"

"I am only a coward," the woman says. "I abandoned everything, and ran away from where I should have been. Eternally, I am no match for the final courage and strength you displayed."

"Final courage!? Then, am I-!? Can I be...dead?"

"Do not worry," she says. "You, the same as the other souls, were reborn by that Ultimate Power. Someday, in that flow of lights, you will arrive safely back in your home. This is the Cauldron. Where the souls are born, and where they finally return. To engage the source of all the enemies who inhabited here, Chaos, You melted along with Chaos into the Cauldron's sea of origin. Not your power, but the Cauldron, and the galaxy, were able to return everyone. But in the end, you could not completely eliminate Chaos."

Memories echo in her mind.

"From an overwhelming future, where I lost the war to Chaos, I gave up everything and ran away. Repeated massacres, a long, painful war... The enemy that appeared, the strong, enormous Chaos... With the way of fighting we had used, we didn't stand a chance. Even if we defeated it, even if we returned the peace of before, the damage taken, the price we paid, would be too much. Too far-reaching. We couldn't do it. I don't know anymore, why there are wars. What is right. What should I do? When I'm lost, when I'm hurt, I remember. The war here. Back then at the Cauldron. If I had eliminated it, would the pain, would the war have ended? After regretting it so many times, I came here. To make it right this time."

A small girl floats down from above, holding an umbrella over her head.

"The me of here, too, was all alone. Always suffering. So I was always by her side, to support her. I was going to make her choose the right path this time...But I knew. The chosen path was not a mistake. Nobody can destroy the place where stars are born. Because of this place, we can continue living. Time and time again, we can start over. I won't run away anymore. I'll go ahead to the future. Because I was blessed with great power by Eternal Sailor Moon. All the courage and strength to stand alone, the courage and strength to accept everything! I had forgotten it. The matchless strength!"

"Cosmos..."

"Now you, who saved the galaxy, is the true me. When, like you, I can have the courage to stand alone, and the courage to accept everything, at that time I can be the true Cosmos. Now, you shall return as well! To the place where you must return, to the person you must protect!"

She raises her scepter, and Kurai is transformed into lights, joining the others

Alone, she watches as Kurai goes.

Inside the Cauldron

"It's warm... This smell is familiar..."

Kurai sits up.

"Me...? I'm alive? I was going to envelop Chaos. At the final moment... I was repelled."

She looks at the light surrounding her.

"This place? Is everyone gone...? Chaos... The Cauldron... Everyone..."

She feels a touch at her back.

"Kurai."

She turns, standing up, and takes Darren's hands.

"Kurai!" the Vampirates call.

"Everyone...!" she says.

Darren kisses her hand. "Thanks to your power, Kurai."

"Kurai...!" says Debbie. "You were alone... We couldn't protect you. Sorry."

"We wanted to be with you...!" says Alice.

"You continued to call on us, to draw on our power... Thank you, Kurai." Says Arra.

"I believed," Kurai says, "that I would be with you. We're all one again. Being as one, our thoughts meshing... Now we are together again."

She hugs them.

A small figure appears.

"Such strong brilliance of stars," it says. "Inside this Cauldron, the souls' forms are fully ready."

"Cauldron?" says Kurai. "Is this place inside the Cauldron?"

"Yes," says the figure.

"And you...?"

"I am a Guardian. Guardian and holy spirit of this place. 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 soul. That soul, too, carried strong brilliance like yours, Priestess. 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 souls? I wonder if that means you want to leave here in those soul forms?"

"We want to go live together, always, like this," says Kurai. "We want to make our future like this. However hard it may be, we want to live these lives!"

They are all enclosed in light, and thrown into the air.

"Guardian!" Kurai calls as she flies away. "Is Chaos...!"

They disappear.

"The core of Chaos is melted into the Cauldron. Now they have become too small to be found. They might be born again. Because this is the place where souls, and possibilities, are born..."

Somewhere a few years later

Many years have passed - Kurai and Darren, naked, are in bed.

Darren lies next to Kurai in bed.

He leans over, and wakes her with a kiss.

"Morning."

"Morning, Darren..." she says. "It feels like I've been having a long, long dream."

"What kind of dream?"

"I don't remember."

The sun shines over the building

"Hey, Darren..."

She touches her hands to his face.

"Say those words one more time."

"I already said them fifty times last night."

"Just once more!"

"Okay. One last time."

He kisses her.

"Marry me, Kurai."

The sun shines through the window of the church as they kiss.

A light glows in Kurai's chest.

"Oh..."

"What?"

"I felt something now," she says. "That a star was being born inside of me. That soon, our daughter... a new soul, will be born."

She holds the bouquet of flowers as they walk up the aisle.

"Say... Until our duties end someday, will we always protect this planet together..."

"We will," says Darren. "Of course we will."

"Will we always live together?"

"I promise. We will always be together."

They kiss.

"I promise too" she thinks. "I will always protect you."

She runs outside.

"And I will always protect our precious friends."

She joins the Vampirates.

"Darren!" she calls.

Darren looks at her in the sunlight.

"Someday we will be gone," he thinks. "New sailor soldiers, new stars will be born... But Kuria, you will forever be immortal. For all eternity, you will be the most beautiful, brilliant light."
