Solace: Twin of The White Moon Princess Part 3

:Galaxia shattered her sister's shield with ease, causeing it to revert back
to silver energy and rain back down on those protected by it. Galaxia once
again raised her hand, this time to deliver the final blow so that she could
take the child. It was then that a crystaline cry ushered from the crib where
the baby had been laughing only a moment ago. Galaxia stopped and suddenly
realized that the cry bore a note of sadness not for itself but for others.
This child who knew nothing beyond it's craddle was crying for the universe
it didn't know; no, not the universe, it was crying for one person: she,
Galaxia. As these thoughts crossed Galaxia's mind, they brought with them a
sharp pain in her head. And the same way she had shattered Serenity's shield,
so now her daughter shattered a wall in Galaxia's mind, that brought back to
her, in an unstopping flow, pictures of her long forgotten past:
***
(Galactia is sitting in a rocking chair atalking to a small child in her lap,
she is not in her castle at home, but inside a palace on one of the planets
her and her sister ruled over.)

Galactia: It is so wonderful that your father and I could arrange to take an
inter-galactic cruise to different planets to celebrate your fifth birthday! I just know you will remember thisfor the rest of your life...

Child: But mamma, why couldn't Aunty and Uncle join us? Didn't they want to
come with me, I didn't make them mad did I?

Galactia: Of course not! They had to stay and rule over the kingdom, because,
as you know perfectly well, as rulers we can't just leave our people without
rulers and unprotected. (Suddenly a shock wave sends Galactia and her daughter
flying from their chair and to the floor; Galactia immediatly used herself as
a shield for her daughter as objects are flung about the room. After the first
shock, more follow, but Galactia is prepared and manages to raise a shield and
carry her daughter slowly towards the door. Just as they reach it however, a
servant rushes in.)

Servant: Lady Galactia! It's your husband m'lady!

Galactia: What about him?

Servant: He just ran out to fight Chaos!

Galactia: Chaos? Its here?!

Servant: Yes'm, that's what has been causing all the shocks! (Galactia used
all her consentration to find Chaos who was shielding himself from her, and
in doing so dropped the shield)

Galactia: Found it! :gasp: but... I don't don't understand... where is my
husband?( Galactia closed her eyes again, not to look for him, because she was
already quite sure of his fate, but to pray his soul be saved from chaos and
be safely guided back into a life. Prayer being said Galactia turned to the
servant, dertermination glinting in her eyes.)
Galactia:Servant! Please, take care of my daughter... (then she turned and
faced the little girl) Darling I love you. ( With that Galactia ran to face
Chaos. As she ran, her long gown changed into Gold armor- not the stuff she
wears when she is Chaos its different, and I will let you decide just how it
looks- and a long sword appeared in her hand. As it did so Galactia smirked,
she couldn't help but feel that this was going to be her last battle.
However there was not time to think that way, that fiend who had taken her
husband was right outside the doors she now faced. Slowly the doors opened
with an ominous red light surrounding everything outside)
Galactia: :gasp: Its barren! This place was once beautiful and ful of life,
but now it is just an omgega zone.(It was true, the landscape seemed to emnate
red and black, and the only visable objects were the corpses of dead creatures.
As Galactia stepped towards the black demon known as Chaos she noticed it held
one of the corpses in its demonic grip, and only as she took another step did
she realize who the corpse belonged to-oh come on folks, you know who it is right?
her cook! jk-)

Chaos: Aren't you going to do a bunch of silly poses and tell me who you are,
because all the other sailor scouts I killed did. You don't want to break tradition
do you?

Galactia: You monster, I won't even waste my breath introducing myself, becuase
your not worth it! All I have to say is give my husband back to me!(finally,
after what seemed like an eternity another sound emitted from the being,
something that sounded oddly like laughter)

Chaos: You want him back, well then come and get him! ( Chaos's voice sent
shivers down her spine, but she was determined to save her husband's soul,
even if she could not save his life. Galactia shouted a battle cry and easily
dodged the huge energy blasts sent at her by Chaos as she raced at him sword
poised. Then with a high leap she cleared what appeared to be Chaos's head,
and stabbed him in the back. His grip loosened from the attack and she easily
jumped to her husband's side and took him away from Chaos's deteriorating hold.)

Galactia: :with a dry grin on her face: Well, you seemed shocked that I
actually dodged your attacks and managed to harm you! So what do you say now!
( Cold laughter once again ushered from the hell spawn that stood behind her,
completely taking Galactia by surprise)

Chaos: My dear, you were so blinded with rage at your husband's death and
that of your fellow Sailor Scouts, that you didn't even notice where my
preacariously shot energy blasts hit. You may be able to evade them easily
enough but... well why don't you just look behind you. (Galactia, her smile
faded, slowly turned around, and dropped the limp body of her dececed husband.)
