GALAXIA

"Tin Cat!" I call my newest Animamate to me.

"Yes, Galaxia-sama?!" She replies as she bows. Loyalty. I appreciate loyalty.

"Have you made any progress on finding the Star Seed yet?" I ask

"No, Galaxia-sama… Lead Crow is hindering my efforts! I think she is keeping something from me!"

I slam my fist on the arm of the throne, "Well, find out what it is, Tin Cat! I do not have time for you two to be fooling around… DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?! I must find THE Star Seed!! It is the only thing that can prevent me from taking what is rightfully mine! I must find it… and DESTROY it!"

"Y-yes, Galaxia-sama!" Tin Cat bows respectively, and hurries off to do her job.

I clench my fists. I have had FOUR Sailor Animamates… two I have killed already for disappointing me. Now I see I will soon have to kill Lead Crow. I curse silently. Oddly enough, I do not WISH to kill Lead Crow.

There was a time… a long time ago… when I did not wish to kill ANYBODY! No… I was stupid then! I thought I could save the galaxy! And it got me no where! Now, for all my sacrifices, the galaxy OWES me!

I remember when I was once known as the Legendary Golden Sailor Senshi! I remember when the spirit of Chaos ran rampant throughout the Universe. I TRIED to stop it! How foolish of me! I close my eyes and remember:

I held my sword close, and kneeled as I looked up to the sky. Slowly, I removed my own Star Seed from my body, "Fly away, my star. The Light of Hope! To a place where Chaos cannot find you! Find the soldier of Love and Justice! She will bring you back to me! She will heal me when the time comes…"

My Star Seed DID escape Chaos. But I could not.

It was time to seal Chaos... forever... to protect the galaxy from the evil!! And so I did the only thing I COULD do! I sealed Chaos within MYSELF!

But… what did I really do? After defeating Chaos, what did I get? NOTHING! There were still wars, and planets were still destroyed in battles beyond comprehension!

But what happens when a planet is under siege? -- People turn against each other… friends become enemies!! Mass hysteria! Fear! Anger! The inhabitants commit unspeakable crimes – and all to save THEMSELVES!! It is the EMBODIMENT of chaos! And I witnessed this all first hand when I destroyed the StarLights' planet!

During all this, though, the REAL Chaos began destroying my body! And it still destroys my body now! Yet it has also merged with me and made me stronger!

In my stupidity, I thought I was the only one who could save the galaxy! But NO MORE!! I have sacrificed enough! I have sacrificed my body, and soul! Now, the galaxy OWES me! For everything I have done, and everything I have lost! I WILL get what is rightfully mine! It was I who tried to create a future for this galaxy! Now, I deserve something for my efforts!!

I feel Chaos getting stronger inside me! It is a wonderful feeling!

If I cannot find my Star Seed, then I shall take the Star Seeds of the other Sailor Soldiers! I already have the Earth Soldier's Star Seed. He was not much of a challenge to me! The great Endymion! I had heard of his fighting skills…. And I had laughed in his face! He was so easy to kill! I smiled as I watched him fade away! Pathetic fool!

But, I know there is ONE being who's Star Seed shines brighter then the others… the Princess of the Moon… the soldier of love and justice! Perhaps my Star Seed has found her! But where is she?!

I sigh, and remove my golden helmet, allowing my long hair to cascade down… red at the bottom, and golden at the top.

I look around my throne room slowly… I sense something.

Without warning, an odd reddish light passes in front of me, "What is that?!" I stand up from my throne… but the light is gone. "Could it be…? The Light of Hope? Is it… trying to communicate with me?!" Suddenly, I have a vision of a child! A child… small… with reddish hair. An odd glow surrounds her. I hear only one word: 'Chibi'.

I shake my head. Even if my Star Seed HAS found the Soldier of love and justice, I do not wish to be healed any longer! I will simply destroy the Star Seed!

"No... you must not! You are a Sailor Senshi! The Star Seed is your very essence! You must not destroy it!!"

What was that?! A voice! MY voice! A shadow... of my former self! NO!! I will not allow that weak Golden Senshi to emerge again! She failed in her mission! She does not DESERVE to live!

I have merged with Chaos! And it is Chaos with whom I shall stay!

Suddenly, an odd sadness fills me, and I feel a wetness on my cheek. I push away the odd feeling, and quickly wipe the wetness off my face. What is that wetness? A… tear…?? IMPOSSIBLE! I have not cried for a thousand years! Those emotions died when Chaos took over!

I quickly place my golden helmet on my head again, and stare into the emptiness of the throne room.

"Lonely… it is so lonely in here!" It is that voice again! The voice of the dead Golden Senshi! But somehow, I do not think it is the throne room that she is speaking of.

"Galaxia-sama!" a voice calls out, snapping me from my thoughts. I look angrily at the interruption.

"What is it, Tin Cat…?!" I ask coldly.

"There is something you must see!" Tin Cat says, and holds out a book to me.

"What is this?" I ask.

"It is Aluminum Siren's diary! Inside, it has the true identities of the Sailor Senshi! And… the Moon Princess!"

I grab the diary from Tin Cat, "Where did you find this?!" I ask her.

"It was in Lead Crow's desk…" Tin Cat smiles mischievously.

"So.. she WAS keeping something from us after all! Very well!! Find the Sailor Soldiers… and bring them to me! Do what you like with Lead Crow… I do not care! You may take care of her!" I say, and go back to my throne.

Tin Cat bows gracefully, and leaves. Yes… very soon, I will get what is owed to me! It is time for the battle to begin!
