Author's Notes: Hey everyone! I'm sorry this chapter took so long to come out, but I had exams last week so I didn't really have time to write. Anyway I want to thank all of you on you're wonderful reviews, but now I'm afraid that I won't meet up with your expectations!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chaos growled dangerously as a dark cloud began to form and shape in front of it. Chaos placed its hand in the cloud, solidifying it into a long, sleek sword that was pitch black. "Once and for all princess I will show you that you are no match for me!" screamed Chaos as it charged towards Cosmos. She met Chaos head on, their swords meeting with a clash of black and white. Energy scorched the air as both weapons blazed with power. The two swords continued to glow and spark as their wielders fought for the upper hand. With a sudden burst, the two swords exploded, throwing both Chaos and Cosmos back. The world seemed to hush as Cosmos and Chaos glared at each other with absolute loathing in their eyes. Chaos' sword was absorbed into its body as Chaos prepared to once again attack her. Cosmos caught on to what it was doing, and willed her sword to disappear as she got ready for battle. Chaos once again charged Cosmos, who was all too willing to fight. Kicks, punches and deadly attacks were exchanged as the two fought in the dance of destruction. With a powerful punch, Cosmos sent it plummeting into the deep ocean that surrounded the small island. She chased after Chaos' submerged figure, and dived into the cool water with a large splash. Within moments, huge explosions erupted from the once calm waters, causing the ocean to roar with tidal waves. Suddenly Chaos shot out of the water, breathing hard and looking slightly beat up.
Unexpectedly, the ocean was suspended in a massive whirlpool that surrounded Cosmos who stood unintimidated by the huge walls of water. Cosmos closed her eyes and lifted her arms above her. The ocean water shot out and began to form a large orb above Cosmos. "Deep...submerge!" whispered Cosmos as the liquid sphere transformed into bright blue energy that went soaring towards Chaos. It deflected the attack, but was unprepared for Cosmos who was right behind. "I...*punches Chaos in the face*...am...*round the house kick to Chaos' head*...one...*kick to Chaos' stomach*...pissed...*elbow in Chaos' back*...off...*uppercut to face *...princess! *kick to crotch (I know Chaos is an it, but that's still got to hurt!)*" screamed Cosmos as she attacked it ruthlessly. Chaos went flying backwards, but quickly created a black ball of energy that went flying to the unsuspecting senshi of the stars. It hit Cosmos with deadly accuracy, sending her crashing and skidding across the unforgiving earth of the island.
Chaos grinned wickedly above the staggering figure of Cosmos as she faltered as she pushed herself up. Suddenly a sinister idea occurred to Chaos that would destroy the moon princess' defenses. Its figure began to contort as eight blackened figures began to emerge and break away from Chaos. The shadows surrounded Cosmos in a perfect circle, as they began to lose their darkness. Soon, eight shrouded figures of darkness, no longer the senshi of the stars, but instead sailor senshi, were standing tall. "Nani? Minna-chan?" asked Cosmos as she gazed at her beloved senshi, missing the soulless emptiness their eyes held.
"Wow! Nine hot babes in mini skirts! I could get used to this!" Goten exclaimed gleefully. Trunks turned to see his best friend literally drooling as he gazed at the nine women with hearts in his eyes. "Baka" he heard Gohan mutter as he shook his head disapprovingly. "Would you be quiet Goten?! Some people are trying to watch the fight!" said Bulma crossly as she folded her arms, still being supported by Vegeta. Looking upwards and mouthing 'why me', Trunks once again turned his attention to the fight that was quickly becoming the strangest thing he had ever seen.
"How could? We protected you. We were willing to give our lives for you, but you failed us," cried the angry voice of Sailor Jupiter. "Iie. I-I tried to save you, all of you mean the world to me, demo I just wasn't strong enough, I-," "enough excuses, Odango Atama! If you had trained harder and taken your duty more seriously, none of this would have happened!" came the enraged voice of Sailor Mars. Sailor Cosmos' aura began to flicker, her light blue eyes briefly becoming deep sapphire once again, and her white hair flashing into silver. "We risked our lives trying to find the Messiah of Light, the one that would save the world, but you failed! Because of you our world perished because you couldn't even do your job!" said Sailor Uranus bitterly. "All of our searching for our princess only to find out she was you. It would have been better if you were never found," remarked Sailor Mercury coldly. Sailor Cosmos sank to her knees, tears staining her cheeks. Her red-orange aura disappeared, her sapphire eyes clouded and glazed and her silver hair gently blowing in the breeze. 'Don't listen to them!' the voice of Queen Serenity commanded, coming into Cosmos' mind. 'They are just the bodies of senshi. Chaos is controlling them to break your will to fight! You must destroy them!' Queen Serenity sated sternly. 'But I can't! They are my friends! I could never hurt them!' screamed Cosmos in her mind. 'Then you leave me no choice, but to do it for you,' said the softer and sadder voice of the queen.
Without warning, all the senshi, except Cosmos, began to glow, and they sunk to their knees, clutching their heads and shutting their eyes tightly. When the senshi opened their eyes once again, they no longer had the emptiness they once possessed. "Minna-chan! You're back!" exclaimed Cosmos happily. "Iie, princess. Our stars seeds are still one with yours and we can only keep control of our bodies for a short time without them. You'll have to destroy us!" exclaimed Sailor Neptune. "N-nani? I-I can't, I won't! There has to be another way! I can't lose you all of you again!" declared Cosmos, her voice filled with fear at the thought of losing her friends once again. "Please princess, you must! If you don't, then we will do it ourselves. Minna, you know what we must do to protect our princess!" commanded Sailor Uranus. The senshi, excluding Cosmos, nodded and began to call on their attacks. "Iie! I won't let you do this!" shouted Cosmos as she picked herself up from the ground. "Venus...love me chain encircle!" shouted Minako from behind Cosmos. The linked chain of yellow energy hearts wrapped around Cosmos, holding her in place. "Let me go! Please don't do this!" begged Cosmos as she struggled against the chain. "Uranus, do you think you can manage two attacks at once? I can't while I'm holding her and my body will NOT be used against her!" said Venus as she struggled to keep her hold on Cosmos. "Will do Venus! Good bye, princess! We know that you can do it! We love you, please be happy!" said Uranus as she lifted two fists in the air and bright yellow energy began to form above them.
"World...Shaking!"
"Deep...Submerge!"
"Dead...Scream!"
"Silence...Glaive...Surprise!"
"Oak...Evolution!"
"Aqua... Rhaspody!"
"Flame...Sniper!"
The attacks shot out to the sky, only to turn (except one) around and head back to their creators. The sailor senshi bit back screams of pain as the attacks hit them full force and sent the seven senshi flying back into the rough ground. The eighth senshi, the senshi of Venus, followed them as the yellow orb hit her, causing her to lose her grip on her attack and forced her off the ground. The linked hearts unwrapped themselves from Cosmos' body before vanishing into nothingness, and Cosmos rushed to catch her friend before making contact with the ground. She grunted as Venus' body flew into her own, causing her to be pushed back several feet. Gently, Cosmos laid Venus' tattered body on the ground. "Mina-chan? Are alright?" When she heard no response, Cosmos was filled with panic as tears began to fall freely down her face. "Please, say something! Don't leave me!" cried Cosmos as she held her friend close. With a groan, Venus opened her eyes. She managed to give Cosmos a weak smile as she spoke softly to her princess. "Don't cry Usa-chan. You are never alone. I will always be with you and watch over you. I know that you can defeat Chaos. I believe in you," whispered Venus as tears gathered in her eyes. "I'm so happy I got to meet and protect you, Usa-chan. We had been so lost without you, princess. I was so alone before I met you. You have given me friendship and happiness and I could never repay you for that. I know all of us would gladly give our lives if it meant that you were safe, because you're our star of hope. You fill our lives with happiness. Thank you, Usa-chan. Be happy. G-good bye," whispered Venus as she took her last breath. "Mina-chan? Wake up Mina-chan! Please don't leave me! Mina-chan, Mina-chan!!!" cried Cosmos in anguish as she hugged her friend's body close in a vain attempt to keep her with her.
"Oh, that was so sweet I think I'm going to have a toothache!" exclaimed Chaos sarcastically. Cosmos chuckled bitterly as she gently laid her friend on the ground. She didn't bother to wipe her tears as she stood and glared at Chaos. "You really are truly evil, Chaos. First, you take away my friends away from me twice in one day, and now you have the nerve to joke about it. You are not getting away with this. You are not going to hurt this world or anybody else for that matter," stated Cosmos in a voice laced with venom. Chaos laughed cruelly at the moon princess. "And who is going to stop me? You? Ha! You don't even have enough power to fly!" exclaimed Chaos happily. "Then, I will have to do it the old fashioned way," stated Cosmos coldly as she reached behind her and grabbed one of the tattered shreds of her cape, and with a sharp pull, tore it off. She closed her eyes in concentration and the eight-pointed star insignia (which I forgot to mention ::sweatdrop::) on her forehead began to glow softly. Suddenly, snow-white wings began to emerge from her back, causing soft feathers float in the breeze. "Ha! I knew she was an angel!" exclaimed Bra gleefully. Most of Z-senshi remained quiet, still deeply saddened by the sacrifice of the Sailor senshi for their princess. 'She's so sad. I just to go over to her and comfort her,' thought Trunks as he watched Cosmos. Seeing her tears just made something in his heart ache, something that he could not describe.
Cosmos spread her wings to their full length (which is the same of Van's from Escaflowne) and gracefully soared in the air until she was level with Chaos. "You will not hurt anyone any more," stated Cosmos as she closed her eyes and clasped her hands as if in prayer. 'Please minna-chan, help me,' whispered Cosmos in her mind. Suddenly a beam of sky blue light descended in front of Cosmos, followed by streams of orange, green and red light of equal size. The four beams of light form a square around Cosmos and were soon followed by beams of yellow, marine, deep purple, and maroon light that went between the light of the inner senshi. Cosmos suddenly raised her arms and the moon staff appeared in her hands. "Sailor...," Cosmos began to spin the staff quickly in her hands. Chaos instantly knew what was happening and began to create a massive ball of black energy. "Planet...ATTACK!" screamed Cosmos as she thrust her staff in front of her. The beams of light disappeared into the staff only to shoot out of the top in a spiraling rainbow heading straight to Chaos. Chaos shot its attack too, and the sphere transformed into a ray of darkness and collided with the rainbow of light. The Z senshi were barely managing to keep themselves from flying from the force the collision. Never in their entire lives have they felt such power! They watched as the two attacks clashed violently, neither gaining nor losing. Cosmos felt herself become weak as the attack drained her energy. "Cosmic Moon Power!" The Silver crystal appeared in front of the staff where the planet attack was being emitted. The cylinder of light traveled into the crystal becoming twice as strong as it was before. "NO!" cried Chaos as the black ray dissolved within Cosmos' attack. Chaos was engulfed by the light and there was a blinding flash at the connect. When the light faded Cosmos was breathing in gasps. Everyone held their breaths as they waited for the smoked that surrounded the spot Chaos to clear. With a sudden gust of wind, the cloak was gone, revealing a very beat and battered Chaos still alive. 'Masaka. I gave that attack everything I had!' screamed Cosmos mentally, struggling not to show her fear. "This isn't over Cosmos! I will be back and I will defeat you!" exclaimed Chaos as it disappeared into thin air. 'I failed...again,' thought Cosmos before she suddenly lost consciousness. She began to plummet to the ground, her wings disappearing and her sailor fuku shimmering before it was replaced with a white, flowing gown. "Quick! Somebody catch her!" screamed Bulma as she watched the young to fall from the sky rapidly. Little did she know that Trunks was already half way to Usagi. Swiftly he flew up and caught her in his arms, one arm supporting her legs and the other supporting her back. Without waiting for the others, he began to fly to Capsule Corp. hoping that the girl in his arms was all right.
