[For those of you who are not familiar with the Sailor Moon Manga, Sailor
ChibiChibi is only an alternate form of Sailor Cosmos, not Galaxia's
starseed. So please keep that in mind and the fact that this story is manga
related. So this is the second part of my series, which may consist to 7 or
8 parts long, I think. I hope that is not too long. This * is * my first
fanfic so please bare with me. The story may start slow and doesn't have
much action to it, but in part three and after I promise it will get better.
I've decided to use English translation names for the Inner Senshi and
Japanese names for the Outer, since I have no clue as to what their English
translated names are. And Haruka and Michiru are only close friends not gay.
It only makes it easier for me to write.
Please, someone, anyone email me and tell me what you think of my story so
far. You hate it? Well can you give me some suggestions to make it better?
You love it? Well…I love you too! Please, I love emails, so send them all in.
Also I'm planning to write more fanfics after this one, so any ideas for
future fanfics please send them in. I am always looking for new ideas! This
story is rated PG, well some slight violence and maybe language later on, if
you call the word damn a bad thing. Well, enough of my babbling! On with the
show!

Serenity's Legend
Part II: A Time Forgotten
"So this is Tokyo after the Sailor Star Battle," whispers Cosmos in
amazement. Spread out before her in a multitude of dazzling bright lights
lies a large city. Her eyes hungrily take in the magnificent scenery of the
lively city with its many people smiling and laughing as they take a night
stroll about the streets. Tears swelled up in her eyes, it has been too long
since she has seen happy, laughing people. She only saw this last through
the eyes of Chibi Chibi. For years she has only known of darkness,
devastation, pain, and sorrow. Cosmos closes her eyes and takes in a deep
lung full of air. So refreshing, she thinks, when have I breathed in such
sweet crisp air before? No smell of burning buildings, or dead bodies. How I
envy these people! Laughing and talking without a care in the world, without
a single notion of what lies in the dark and distant future.
Quickly, she jumps onto a rooftop of a nearby shopping mall. At this height
she is able to see a large expanse of the city. What should I do now?
Where should I begin? Damn, I don't have a single clue, a single lead that
can help me. Suddenly, she spots the rooftop of Cherry Hill Temple. She
hesitates for a moment. Her heart reaches out, trying to fly over to the
place she had known all too well. But it will only cause me more pain if I
see them. Yet, I don't have anywhere else to go. Silent as the night
wind, Cosmos runs toward the temple, deciding to just check the place out.
Within moments she is sitting on top of the temple's roof, looking down at
five young girls chatting on the porch.
"Hey, you sure make great hot chocolate Lita," says Mina.
"Yes, thank you for the treat," says Amy.
"Hey, there are no more hot chocolate!" whines Serena.
"Serena, how many cups did you have? I made sure that I had made enough for
everyone to have at least three cups full."
"I only had five!"
"Serena, stop being such a pig!" yells Rei.
"I am not!"
"Are to!" Rei sticks her tongue out at Serena. Serena in turn does the same
towards Rei.
Serena and Rei begin their tongue fight until Amy stops them, "Stop it you
two! Don't you ever get tired of fighting all the time."
"Yeah," says Mina, "it is getting tiresome battling the dark forces all the
time. The peace and quiet is a welcoming event. So why don't you two just
shush and enjoy it."
"But Rei started it!" Serena whines.
"I did not noodle brain!" Rei retorts.
The other three girls sigh and give up any attempt at a resolution between
those two. Through all this Cosmos watches them silently, a strange pang of
envy vibrates in her heart at the mention of peace. I guess things have
not changed all that much between Rei and me, thought Cosmos, a slight
smile appearing on her lips. Oh, how she longs to be with them, to join
their conversations. Cosmos listens to their conversations for a while but
then decides to leave and search for the other members of the team. She
turns and runs away.
"What was that?" Rei says as she turns and looks in the direction where
Cosmos had just hidden.
"What is it Rei?"
"I thought I heard something."
"Probably just the wind."
Rei did not respond. I sensed something, she thinks, some strange energy.
There is a strange glow in the fire tonight.
Through the crisp night air, Cosmos runs silently until she reaches a park
where she spots four distinct forms silhouetted against the bright full moon
by a lake. The Outer Soldiers, she thinks, even at this time they have
not fully joined with the Inner Soldiers. I have always been wondering why
the separation between them? Cosmos positions herself behind a nearby
tree. She closes her eyes and silently listens to their conversation, while
emotions of uncontrollable intensity storms within her heart.
"Such a lovely clear night," Haruka was saying.
"Hmmm…the moon appears to be extra bright tonight," whispers Michiru.
"As if it is welcoming a friend," says Setsuna.
"What friend?" young Hotaru asks looking confusedly at Setsuna.
"She doesn't mean anyone specific Hotaru."
The night is exceptionally clear with innumerous numbers of stars twinkling
in the dark sky. Without a single breeze, the lake acts like a fairy's
mirror, reflecting the moon with perfect clarity. But then a lost breeze
flows by Cosmos and then around the Outer Soldiers. Setsuna catches a
strange image of a dark city and flashes of strange blocks of crystals, but
the image vanishes as quickly as it came. Hotaru notices Setsuna's body
suddenly stiffening and asks, "What is the matter Setsuna?"
"Hmmm? Oh nothing." Setsuna slips into silence, thinking about the strange
image that had just appeared to her. What in the world was that? Was it a
vision of a large city? There is something familiar about that city. Where
have I seen it before? Setsuna's brow knit together in deep concentration.
But it was such a dark and ominous place. Should I tell the others about
this vision? Hmmm, maybe I'll wait awhile. I must find out more about this
strange vision.
"Umm…I have to go now" Setsuna begins, "I just forgot about something I must
do. I will see you all later. Goodnight." And she walks off and disappears
into a strange wall of mists.
"What has gotten into her?" questions Haruka. Michiru only shakes her head
in wonder. Hotaru's eyes suddenly change into a cold purple stare in
Setsuna's direction. Something is wrong, she thinks. I, too, can
sense it Setsuna, an infinite power. Suddenly she catches a slight
movement behind a nearby tree. Haruka notices the movement, too, and quickly
rushes over followed by the other two. But they can see no one.
Throughout the night, Cosmos stealthily searches the city for any clue, any
sign that might help her in her quest. However, she ended her search as
empty-handed as she had begun. I know where I must go to find the
answer, she thinks. There is only *one* person who can help me now, but I
don't want to see…Oh, there must be another way to find what I seek without
causing anymore pain to anyone. Leaning against a brick wall on top of a
tall tower, Cosmos silently watches the coming of dawn. A bright red glow
indicates the arrival of the sun. A battle between light and dark unfolds
before her eyes, as if reflecting the battle that is to come. The rays of
light pierce through the cloak of night like arrows from a goddess's bow.
Slowly, the light pushes against the receding darkness like an unrelenting
typhoon. Somehow the dark manages a counter attack and the sun bleeds onto
the sea covering the silvery surface in a bright red glow. But no matter how
hard the struggle was, the dark eventually retreats over the earth's edge,
and throughout the day, it lays dormant, waiting until the coming of the next
battle when light and dark will again interlock at that very horizon. No,
I cannot run away any longer. No matter what sorrow this encounter will
cause me, I must find the answer…to save the future and those who are
fighting there. Cosmos turns her gaze from the horizon to a tall apartment
building close to the bay, where a young man slumbers peacefully in bed,
unaware of what destiny is about to bring him.
