Genesis Saga Chapter 5

The Stars of Darkness

" Sacred Fire, please show me who our enemies are."

Raye was in the inner sanctum of the Temple with the others. She was trying to figure out why her vision was wrong.

" I see something, the ufos descending towards Earth like they did, only this time, they get destroyed. Then I see the battleship leaving, and a meteor falling towards Earth. It lands and then the world explodes."

"So, your vision was not complete before."

said Amy.

" But, does that mean.. The world will still end?"

" 'Fraid so, Meatball Head."

" Raye! Don't be mean! WAAAAAAAA!"

" A meteor landing on Earth? Hey, girls, I see something outside!"

"What is it, Luna?"

"A meteor. It's headed for your school, Serena,"

"YAY! No school tomorrow!"

exclaimed Serena.

"Or anything else if we don't stop it!"

"We'll stay here. The five of you go alone."

"Are you sure, Trista?

"Positive. We'll be fine."

Then, the five inner scouts ran towards the school to stop the meteor.

When they got there, they found that it had already destroyed Crossroads Jr. High.

"Well, at least we won't have school tomorrow, right, Lita?"

" Yeah, but don't you think we should transform?"

"Right! Mars Star Power!"

"Jupiter Star Power!"

"Venus Star Power!"

"Mercury Star Power!"

" Moon Crisis Power!"

Then, a figure stepped out of the crater. She had blond hair, was holding a metal staff with a purple crescent moon on top, and wearing a Sailor uniform.

" So, you are the ones who failed her majesty, Queen Serenity. You don't deserve to still be alive, what happened? Did you run away?"

Her gloves and bow were purple, her tiara was green, the gem in the center of it was black, and so were her boots. Her miniskirt was green, purple and black.

" She sent us into the future. She knew we wouldn't win."

" Liars! You abandoned her! You left her for dead!"

"You should talk, you weren't there!"

" Yes, I was. I survived throughout the whole thing. You just wanted to save your own skins. Especially Titan. She wasn't even there until it was too late."

" Now, I will destroy you. I will eliminate those who are not worthy to have once served her Majesty!"

" Death Ray Silence!"

She held up her staff and pointed it at Mercury, blasting her all the way back to the temple and knocking her unconscious.

" She's strong..."



Meanwhile, at the temple, Mercury crashed through the walls into the inner sanctum and almost fell into the fire.

" Mercury! Alright, Rini, Lily, you two stay with her until she wakes up. Pluto Planet Power!"

"Saturn Planet Power!"

" Uranus Planet Power!"

" Neptune Planet Power!"

After the outers left, Callisto began to wake up.

" You destroyed my armor... Well, now, you will pay. I was not completely "healed" by the moon brat, and I should easily be able to defeat you. Judgement Ray obliderate!"

The blast of energy knocked Rini unconscious.

" Oh great. Titan Ethereal Power!"

" Callisto Negaforce Eternal Power!"

They both transformed, but Callisto was at a more powerful form.

" Dark Energy of the Negaforce, grant me the power to destroy this brat!"

Callisto formed a ball of dark energy and threw it at Titan who managed to dodge it.

" Titan Eternal Power!"

Four sets of wings sprouted out of Titan's back and then all of the feathers and skin fell off them, so they were just bones. Her miniskirt and boots became mixed blue and green, the gem in her tiara became jagged and two sickles appeared for her, one in each hand.

" Titan"

She created a ball of swirling gas.

" Flammable"

She surrounded the gas in a ball of ice, then surrounded that in more gas.

" Crystal "

Her two sickles burst into flames, and the fire surrounded the gas.

" Devastate!"

The huge mass of ice, flame and gas hit Callisto, and she fell to the ground, this time her armor was destroyed for good, and she was knocked unconscious.

Meanwhile, at the school...

" Death Ray Silence!"

The mysterious new scout had already defeated Mars, Jupiter and Uranus.

The new blast of energy hit Neptune and knocked her unconscious too.

" This is getting ridiculous. Our attacks don't even scratch her, and she knocks us out with a single blow!"

said Venus.

" Pluto Dead Scream!"

Pluto's blast hit the girl, but nothing happened.

" My new attack works better on multiple enemies. It won't work very well on her."

"Then, try one of your old ones."

" Right! Venus Love Chain Encircle!"

The chain like every other attack did not affect the girl.

" Ha! You're no match for me! Death Ray Silence!"

Venus was then knocked out.

" Why are you fighting us?"

asked Moon.

" Because, you don't deserve to be Sailor Scouts. You failed her majesty, and there is no room for failure against the forces of darkness."

" You dare to call Queen Serenity's daughter and future queen of this world a failure?"

" Wha- you are the Moon Princess? "

" As a matter of fact, I am! You come here in that rock and try to kill me and my friends in the name of my mother, and you don't even know what happened! My mother Queen Serenity used the last of her power to imprison The Seven Shadow Warriors in the Silver Imperium Crystal. The Crystal split into the seven Rainbow Crystals, and we were all sent into the future and reborn. My cat Luna found me and the others and returned the power of the scouts to us."

" So... technically, I'm a failure, too. I'm sorry, your majesty. I didn't know. Please forgive me."

said the girl.

" I don't even know your name."

said Sailor Moon.

" I am Sailor Hyperion. Hyperion Death Ray Silence!"

Hyperion pointed her staff towards the ground and blasted a hole right through the center of the Earth.

" You.... You destroyed the Earth! The last remaining planet.... You ensured all of our destruction!"

shouted Moon.

" Moon Crystal Power!"

With that, Sailor Moon tried to fix the hole with her Silver Crystal, however Hyperion kept making new holes.

" Stop it, fool!"

" Never! I betrayed her majesty! Hyperion Death Ray Silence!"

This time, the blast of energy hit Pluto, and blasted her back towards the temple. Hyperion shot more and more blasts of energy.

" Shine Aqua Illusion!"

Mercury then froze Hyperion so Moon could fix all the damage she caused. However, Hyperion did not stay frozen long enough.

" Hyperion Apocalypse Begin!"

And with that phrase, Hyperion pointed her staff towards the sky which turned bright red. Places all over the Earth began to burst into flames and explode for no reason.

Sailor Moon then pulled her Orb out of nowhere and fused it with her crystal.

" Moon Seraphim Crystal Revitalize!"

Then, a wave of white light swept across the world. The apocalypse had ended and Earth was still in one peice. Also, all her friends who were knocked unconscious woke up.

Meanwhile at the temple, Titan and Minimoon were still trying to hold Eternal Callisto at bay.( Her armor regenerated again).

" No matter what we do, she just keeps coming back,"

"Titan Eternal Power!"

Then, Titan became her eternal form. Callisto brought her sword back from out of nowhere.

" Dark Flare..... Demolish!"

Callisto threw the sword and it exploded, almost destroying the temple.

" Callisto Nightmare Desecrate!"

Callisto then shot the dark energy at Minimoon, who tried to block it with the spiral heart moon rod.

The attack destroyed the rod.

" Titan Flammable Crystal Devastate!"

This time, the crystal didn't even scratch Callisto's armor.

" Fools! You can't defeat me!"

" We'll see about that!"

" Pink Sugar-"

Before Minimoon could complete her attack, Callisto shot at the wand she uses for it. The wand broke.

" Callisto Nightmare Desecrate!"

Callisto's dark attack then killed Titan and Minimoon. They faded from existence.

" Mwahahahahahaha! Now that these two are out of the way, I can go destroy the others."

Meanwhile, back at the school...

" Hyperion Death Ray Silence!"

Hyperion was still trying to kill the scouts who were doing their best to dodge Hyperion's lasers.

" Girls, want to know just what happened to the ruins of the moon kingdom? After Queen Beryl destroyed it, I called forth a huge storm of meteors to wipe out the ruins so that the Negaverse would never discover our secrets. And now, I feel like doing the same to this planet. Hyperion Gravity Empower!"

The gravity on Earth started getting stronger.

" Oops.... It looks like I made it a little too strong..."

Every object in the solar system was now headed towards the Earth at an alarming speed.

" Callisto Nightmare Desecrate!"

Callisto's blast of energy hit Hyperion who responded with her Laser attack.

The two then began trying to blast each other to oblivion with their attacks.

" Stop it! Moon Seraphim Crystal Revitalize!"

Sailor Moon tried to fix the gravitational pull of Earth, however it was getting stronger. It began to pull evrything on the surface through the ground.

" No.... It can't end like this..."

said a desperate Sailor Moon.

" Huh- what happened? Pluto, what did-?"

asked Moon.

" Sailor Moon, I stopped time. Hyperion must be stopped, however we are not strong enough. I will send you and the others back in time to one hour before Hyperion landed.

You must go to Vertigo's ship and take over. It must be brought down. Crash it on Hyperion, then go.



" Well, everyone's woken up except Callisto. Where do you think Vertigo went?"

" I don't know, Serena. Probably back to her battleship."

" Remember what Pluto told us to do, Raye. We have to get to Vertigo's battleship."

" Right. Alright, The five of us are going to go to Vertigo's ship. Remember, make sure Callisto doesn't leave." " I see. Serena, I do remember what I told you to do. Lily and Rini are the only ones who don't. Also, here are the rest of your transformation items. Instead of letting them be erased, I kept them."

" Are you allowed to do that?"

" Yeah, I'm not so sure..."

said Trista.

" Well anyway, thanks. Mars Crystal Power!"

" Jupiter Crystal Power!"

" Venus Crystal Power!"

" Mercury Crystal Power!"

" Moon Crisis Power! "

" Sailor Planet Power!"

The scouts teleported to Vertigo's ship where they found more of the rock monsters.

" Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"

Venus' attack did not have any effect on them.

" Venus, we have to run! We can't beat these things, remember?"

said Sailor Moon.

" Right."

They then ran around the monsters, through a door. Jupiter then closed it, but the monsters tried to open it.

" Jupiter, short circuit the door's operating system!"

" Right, Mars. Jupiter Thunder Crash!"

Jupiter's electric attack short-circuited the switches on each side of the door so it wouldn't open.

" Those things will try to break through any second. Lets try to find the cockpit!"

When they got to the cockpit, they found Vertigo. She almost teleported away except Mercury froze her.

" Shine Aqua Illusion!"

"there's the meteor. Lets see if I can drive this thing."

Jupiter then set the Ship on a crash course to the school. It would hit it right after Hyperion.

The scouts then teleported back to the temple to find the others who were fighting Callisto. She was once again in her eternal form and had knocked out everyone except Rini by the time the inner scouts returned.

" New Moon Cosmic Heart-"

Callisto then shattered the rod.

The other scouts tried to fight one by one until Mercury and Moon were the only ones left. Mercury pulled out her Orb. She held it between her hands in front of her face.

" Mercury"

She squeezed her hands together crushing the orb.

" Frozen "

She began to glow bright blue.

" Winds"

A tornado of snow, ice and air swirled around the area.

" Liftoff!"

The Tornado shrunk to where Callisto was, and lifted her up higher and higher, and then threw her towards the ground.

Then Callisto was knocked out.

And all the others woke up again.

" Why does this all seem familiar to me?"

" We've already done this... After everyone woke up, we destroyed Vertigo. Then, everyone was knocked out again except us. I should have known... The explosion was too big for the meteor alone..."

" Are you sure, Mars? I mean..."

" Yes, Moon... We're doomed..."

" I don't wanna die! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

" Alright... We've got a job to do."

" We have to stop that ship from crashing!"

" Girls..."

" What is it , Luna?"

" Um.... It already crashed..."

" It's okay. Before, we got there just after it crashed."

" Yeah, Moon, but Hyperion wants to destroy us, and she's more powerful than all of us put together."

" Not everyone, Mars. She hasn't fought me yet. Titan Eternal Power!"

" She hasn't fought me yet, either!"

" Right. She hasn't fought all of us at once. Lets go!"

The scouts once again ran towards the school, while Luna and Artemis tried to find a place to hide until Callisto woke up and left.

" Greetings, Failures of the Silver Millenium! I have come to punish you for failing her majesty!"

" I am Sailor Hyperion, and it is my mission to make sure that you pay for your failures!"

" We couldn't fight the Negaverse and win! There were too many of them!"

" Nonsense! I could have defeated them all with one hand behind my back!"

" Then why didn't you?"

" Simple, Sailor Meatball Head, for some reason, the queen thought that you sorry little brats were enough to protect the Moon Kingdom!"

" Queen Serenity may have died, but I her daughter live on!"

" You are the Moon Princess?"

" As a matter of fact, I am!"

" Well then, lets see if you're strong enough to be worthy of the Silver Crystal. I'll take you all on at once!"

" Fine, you got yourself a deal!"

said Uranus.

" Uranus World Shaking!"

" Neptune Deep Submerge!"

" Pluto Dead Scream!"

" Mars Flame Sniper!"

" Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"

" Jupiter Oak Evolution!"

" Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"

" Super Moon Target! "

" New Moon Cosmic Heart Ache!"

The combined blast of attacks hit Hyperion dead on, but when the smoke had cleared, she was still standing.

" Is that the best you can do?"

said Hyperion.

" We haven't fought yet."

Said Saturn calmly.

" Prepare to meet your match!"

Saturn attacked with her Glaive and Eternal Titan attacked with her Sickles.

" Hyperion Death Ray Silence!"

Hyperion managed to blast both Saturn and Titan and knock them unconscious.

" Pathetic! "

" You leave me no choice! Dark-"

" Hyperion Death Ray Silence!"

Hyperion hit Pluto before she could complete her attack and Pluto became unconscious.

And then, a red rose flew from the sky and hit Hyperion on the arm.

" Oh please.... What's a rose supposed to do to me?"

" What? All the monsters get distracted by my roses!"

" Hyperion Death Ray Silence!"

Hyperion shot the blast of deadly energy at Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Moon tried to save him but wasn't fast enough. The blast tore right through him.

" I never liked weaklings that much... "

" You...You killed him..."

" Callisto Nightmare Desecrate!"

The blast of dark energy from Callisto hit Hyperion.

" Hyperion Death Ray Silence!"

However, Hyperion countered and knocked Callisto out.

Sailor Moon was huddled over Tuxedo Mask crying her eyes out, while the other scouts were getting ready to attack again.

" She's strong... Saturn would have had a chance but Hyperion is to fa- AAAAAAGH!"

Hyperion shot Mercury and then routinely blasted all of the scouts except Sailor Moon untill they were all unconscious.

" Pathetic! Hyperion Apocalypse Begin!"

The sky then turned red, and the ground began to fall apart and things began to burst into flames for no reason.

" Moon Seraphim Crystal Revitalize!"

Sailor Moon then cancelled Hyperion's apocalypse attack and revived all of her friends.

" Everyone get back! "

Ordered Saturn.

" Not even a thankyou... "

" Quiet, Meatball Head! "

" Silence Glaive Surprise! "

" Uranus World Shaking! "

" Neptune Deep Submerge! "

" Pluto Dead Scream! "

" Mars Flame Sniper! "

" Jupiter Oak Evolution! "

" Mercury Aqua Rhapsody! "

" Venus Love and Beauty Shock! "

" Super Moon Target! "

" Titan Flammable Crystal Devastate! "

" Callisto Nightmare Desecrate! "

The combined attack plus a rose from Tuxedo Mask was enough to knock Hyperion away from the ruined school, and deep into the Earth.

" Is it over...? "

Asked Sailor Moon.

" I... I think so... "

Replied Mars. And then, the Scouts detransformed except for Callisto.

" Goodbye, girls. I can't stay any longer, I have to destroy this armor. "

Said Callisto.

" But, why? Why can't you stay with us? "

Asked Serena.

" Because.. My armor makes me almost invincible. If someone as powerful as Hyperion got ahold of it, well, you wouldn't last ten seconds against her. "

" But, if you destroy your armor, you won't have any way of coming back to Earth. "

" I told you before, I spent so much time wandering space that I lost almost all of my humanity. I should be able to survive the Sun. It would be better off if I didn't survive anyway. I don't want anyone to learn the secret of my armor. "

" Callisto... Please, don't leave... We managed to defeat Hyperion, didn't we? "

" I doubt it... "

" Then, isn't it your duty as a Sailor Scout to protect this world from evil, even though my mother exiled you in the time of the Silver Millenium? "

" I guess it is, and that is why I must die. You see, the essence of the Negaforce still exists within me. That is why I must be destroyed. When I die, the Negaforce will be gone for good. Goodbye. "

And then, Callisto left towards the sun.

" And what was that about her staying with us? "

" Raye, since she is a Sailor Scout, shouldn't she join us? "

" Meatball Head, she tried to kill us! "

" Don't be mean, Raye, she was being influenced by evil... "

" Let me remind you, Serena that she wanted revenge against the descendants of the Silver Millenium long before she met Queen Beryl! "

" Raye.... "

" Serena, if you're going to try to convince me otherwise- "

" Um, no, I wasn't. I know how stubborn you can be- "

" STUBBORN!? I'll show you stubborn, meatball brain! "

" Don't be mean, Raye! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! "

Then, Serena and Raye started one of their arguments. When they finally finished, it was midnight.

" Um, you guys, it's getting late, we should be going now. "

" Yeah, thanks for reminding us, Amy. "

Then, all the scouts went to their homes.

The next day, Luna was once again trying to wake Serena up.

" Oh, Luna.... What now...? "

" Serena, I know your school got blown up, but this is a perfect time to study! "

" Oh, fine, I'll get up, and I'll study... My comic books... "

" I thought you would, Serena, so I hid them. "

" You did!? Weredyahide'em? Where'dyahide'm? Where'dyahide'm?!?!?!?!!!? "

" Calm down, Serena. Your mum thought she should let you sleep in. They already went to work. "

" Why didn't she wonder where you were last night? "

" Before you went to fight Hyperion, Raye called your parents and told them you were studying at the temple, and that you would be home late. "

" So, now my parents expect me to have studied? "

" Yes. That's why I suggested that you study now. "

" Fine, Luna, but only if there's nothing good on TV. "

Then, Serena left her bedroom.

" YES! She's watching TV. There's no way she'll want to study! "

Then, Luna dragged Serena's comics out and proceeded to read them.

Then, Luna heard an ear-splitting scream come from the TV room.

" AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! "

" LUUUUUUUUNAAAAAAAAAA! "

Then, Luna ran to where Serena was, sitting in front of the TV.

" Luna, I was watching the.... News to see if... if they were going to rebuild my school or not. When I turned on the TV, I saw Hyperion... She came out of the crater we knocked her into and killed the cameraman.... "

Wailed Serena,

" Hyperion's back!? "

" Yes, Luna.... We have to tell the others.... WAAAAAAAAAAA! "

Serena then launched into a fit of wailing.

" SERENA!"

" W... What is it, Luna? "

" We can't tell everyone. Your school was the only one that got blown up. "

" Oh.... Right, Raye's still at school. "

" You should transform and go now! "

" What are you talking about, Luna? I can't fight her by myself! WAAAAAAA!"

Serena wailed.

Meanwhile, in the future...

" Mummy! daddy! What's happening to me? "

Rini rushed into the throne room of the crystal palace, screaming at the top of her lungs.

" Rini... You're fading! "

Said Neo-King Darien.

" Oh no! She's not the only one! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! "

Wailed (Guess who) Neo-Queen Serenity.

Then, Pluto appeared.

" Your majesty, something's wrong! "

Said Pluto.

" You're telling me! My daughter is fading out of existence and so am I!!!! "

Queen Serenity continued to wail and the crystal palace began to crack.

" My queen, you're not fading out of existence. Something is happening in the past. Something that shouldn't have happened. If I am correct, you both should still be alive, but the Crystal Palace... "

" WHAT? What are you saying, Pluto!? "

" Well... We're doomed. You won't die. I'm afraid it will be much worse... "

" What!? Pluto, you gotta be kidding! "

Then, both Serena and Rini let loose supersonic screams that shattered the Crystal Palace...

Back in the present, T*A Private Academy..

" Hyperion Death Ray Silence! "

Hyperion had went to Raye's school to find her and Lily. Lily appeared as Titan first, while Raye tried to contact the other scouts. Titan was knocked out and Hyperion was blasting the place apart.

" Mars Flame Sniper! "

Mars appeared and shot the arrow at Hyperion who dodged it. The arrow then set fire to the building.

The other scouts appeared.

" Venus Love and Beauty Shock! "

" Jupiter Oak Evolution! "

" Mercury Aqua Rhapsody! "

" Super Moon Target! "

The blast of the four attacks hit Hyperion dead on, but she was still standing.

" Uranus World Shaking! "

" Neptune Deep Submerge! "

" Pluto Dead Scream! "

The triple attack from the Outers also hit Hyperion.

" You fools! "

Said Hyperion.

" You should know better than to try and defeat me! "

" You know I'm right! I survived your best shot before! "

" Nightmare Star Vaporize! "

Said a voice, then, a blast of energy in the shape of a skull and crossbones hit Hyperion, driving her out of the school.

Then, a new scout appeared.

" I am Callisto. "

Said the scout.

" Callisto.. Is it really you? "

Asked Sailor Moon.

Callisto's uniform was mostly black, except for her bow which had a broach with a grey pentagram in the center and the main body of her uniform which was white like the others and her tiara was gold with a black gem.

" Yes, it is. Sailor Scouts, I have come to help. Neo-Queen Serenity came to me from the future, and gave me my new powers. She told me that if I did not help, you would all die.

She could not heal me from evil, but she returned my powers of light to me. Now, I weild both the powers of light and darkness, and I have come to help you defeat Hyperion once and for all. "

After she explained her story, Mercury pulled out her computer.

" You guys, I have some good news, and some bad news, and some worse news. And some even worse news. "

Said Mercury.

" The bad news is Hyperion survived, and found some underground chambers that lead to the core of the Earth. The worse news is that that seems to be where she's going. "

" But, Mercury, no one can withstand the heat of the Earth's core. "

" Mars, Hyperion is far more powerful than any ordinary human. The even worse news is that if she manages to get there, she could push all the lava towards the suface, thus covering the surface with lava and destroying everything on the planet! "

" So what's the good news? "

" The good news, Moon, is that I found out that Hyperion's staff is the source of her power. As long as she has it, she cannot be killed. "

" But, how will we stop her? "

Asked Moon.

" I'll go. "

Callisto volunteered.

" I should be able to withstand the heat long enough to defeat her. "

Then, Callisto went after her down the tunnels.

However, Hyperion was blasting the chambers shut, so Callisto had to return to the surface, or she would expend too much energy destroying all the rocks.

When she returned, Mercury descovered that...

" Hyperion is not headed to the core of the Earth. A few minutes after you left, Callisto, her sigature on this map disappeared. "

( Mercury called up a virtual map of the catacombs leading to Earth's core.)

" So, where did she go? "

" I don't know, Moon. "

Said Mercury.

The End.
