*~*Chapter 25*~*
Hello my friend, we meet again, it's been awhile, where should we begin?
Feels like forever, within my heart a memory, a perfect love that you gave to me
Oh, I remember
*~*
Goku winced as the creature's teeth sunk into his arm. It didn't hurt at all, it was just the sight of it that disgusted him. Another one of the damned creatures jumped onto his back in attempting to bring him to the ground, but it's efforts proved futile as it's enemy was much stronger than itself. Goku raised his ki, the waves of energy throwing them to the ground as he then sent an attack at the creatures, killing them instantly.
These creatures were pitifully weak, but it was they're numbers that made the challenge of fighting them worth it.
"Come on weaklings! FIGHT ME!" a voice roared
A small smile found its way onto Goku's face as he took a glance behind him to see Vegita throwing punches and blasts skillfully at different parts of the army
"YOU CALL THIS A FIGHT?! I HAVEN'T EVEN BROKEN OUT IN A SWEAT!" he cried angrily as he destroyed another large portion of the army. He paused for a moment, and started laughing at the sight of the dark minions scrambling away from him as he raised his hand to send out another ki blast.
Goku shook his head and turned back to face more of the dark creatures. This perhaps would turn out to be more 'fun' than anyone had anticipated.
When you are with me I'm free, I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others, we'll fly, this brings tears to my eyes
My Sacrifice
*~*
Chaos stood in its place, watching, waiting for Cosmos to make the first move. Screams of terror from its own army were lost to it, because it knew the dark minions were, as always, expendable.
They were only around to serve as a distraction to the senshi. It only wanted to fight Cosmos, and only Comos.
We've seen our share of ups and downs
Oh how quickly life can turn around in an instant, it feels so good to realize
What's in yourself and within your mind, let's find peace there
*~*
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
She heard the satisfying 'thunk' of several bodies hitting the ground once they came in contact with her attack. She couldn't tell who was winning the battle! They had strength, but they were greatly outnumbered!
"Venus Look out!"
She turned just in time to witness another creature running towards her, poised to attack. Her eyes widened, and the words for her attacks as well as her ability to move out of the way failed her as she watched the creature jump towards her.
"Mina-chan!" a new voice cried as a flash of energy swept right in front of her, directly into the creature.
The creature screamed and writhed in agony as it felt its body being torn apart.
Yamcha came up beside Venus, "Daijoubu ka?" he asked, worry passing through his eyes.
"H-hai Arigato" she replied. She paused for a moment as if in thought, before stepping up to him and brushing her lips against his. His expression, surprised, as she stepped away from him "I'll see you later" she whispered before running off in another direction
'And that's a promise'
When you are with me I'm free, I'm careless, I believe
above all the others, we'll fly, this brings tears to my eyes
My Sacrifice
*~*
Her eyes were focused on her enemy and only her enemy. But unlike Chaos, she couldn't block out the screams of battle. Every time she heard a strangled cry, she was afraid that someone she loved was hurt, and her eyes would quickly look in the direction from which it came.
But she needed to focus on her adversary, for the sake of her friends, and the world.
She needed to win this battle.
When you are with me I'm free, I'm careless, I believe
*~*
They didn't know how long they had been fighting, but it felt like as if time has slowed, just for this occasion. No matter how hard they fought, the army's size just never seemed to decrease. The Z senshi were far from tired, but their efforts didn't even seem to make a dent in the army.
The sailor senshi however, were worse off then they were. Unlike the Z senshi, they were unable to conserve their energy with each attack, and so the fighting had taken it's toll on them.
"Mars Flame Sniper!"
Beads of sweat made their way down her face as she let loose her attack. She was exhausted, but she wouldn't give up. Mars didn't know if anyone else noticed, but Cosmos and Chaos had yet to attack each other!
'Baka Odango...what is she waiting for?' she thought as she spun around quickly at the sound of a roar. Claws found their way to flesh, and she cried out in pain as she swung her arm towards the creature, only to have it caught by another dark minion. Pain spread across body as she let out another cry.
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"
Mercury and Saturn rushed to Mars' side, lifting the now dead creatures off their fallen comrade.
Mars groaned in pain as Mercury quickly observed the wounds and shook her head "I don't think you'll be able to fight anymore. " she stated
"Iie...I need to"
"You're in no condition to-"
"Iie!"
"Ami-chan..."
"Nande Hotaru?" Mercury asked, still trying to prevent Mars from getting back up. "You're hurt!" she berated again
Saturn sighed as she lay a hand on Mars's arm, concentrating on the healing power that she held. A soft purple light arose from her hand, and a warmth spread across Mars' body, causing her to gasp in surprise
"Space Sword Blaster!"
Saturn lost her concentration as she and the other two senshi turned to look at Uranus, who had just killed the creatures that has been sneaking up on them.
"Next time watch your backs!" she called out as she rushed towards the mass of darkness, her sword still out, glowing brilliantly with anticipation as she neared the crowd.
Above all the others, we'll fly, this brings tears to my eyes
*~*
Cosmos' eyes widened at the scream.
"Rei-chan" she muttered, her eyes filled with concern
'Aww, is the 'Great Cosmos' worried about her weak, pitiful little friend?' a voice mocked from inside her head.
'At least I have a friends' she retorted, she eyes finding their way back to Chaos
Chaos snorted 'Who needs friends, when you have eternal power?!'
'Everyone needs friends, power isn't everything! Everything, everyone needs love and friendship'
Chaos growled 'A world without love or friendship are what I want. I am made from the hatred of the universe! I was created from everyone's misery from this-this LOVE you talk so highly of'
'Demo-'
'ENOUGH!' the voice of Chaos roared, causing Cosmos to wince slightly from it's intensity.
Large black wings spread from Chaos' back, stretching out behind it as it easily lifted into the air
'I've heard enough of your nonsense, fight me Cosmos'
Cosmos stood for a moment, the sounds of battle for the first time, lost to her. This mirror image of her once future daughter only seemed to create an anger mixed with grief inside of her. This was going to be a harder battle than she would have liked.
But then again, what battle was ever easy?
She shook her head clear of these thoughts, and started concentrating. Small flecks of light spread out behind her, forming white wings upon her back that spanned far from each side of her body. With one swift movement, she gracefully rose into the air, her eyes cold and hard as she became level with Chaos.
" In order to restore the peace to the universe, you must be destroyed Chaos" she called out, her tier appearing in her hand "I will not allow you to live anymore!". Her voice seemed to echo, causing everyone to pause for a moment to watch the two in the air.
Chaos laughed, that same laughter that had taunted Cosmos in her dreams "You have no chance senshi" it cried as it held its hands in front of itself. Dark energy building within its hands before it launched the attack towards Cosmos
My Sacrifice
*~*
Her eyes narrowed as she held out her tier, the end pointed out towards the blast. Pure energy erupted from it as it countered the darkness, both attacks disintegrating instantly. "You'll have to try harder than that Chaos" she stated as she suddenly flew towards it.
Chaos smirked as it too rushed forward towards Cosmos. Swords appeared in both their hands, and the sound of metal upon metal echoed throughout the battle field. Both strained against each other to hold their place. A low growl escaped Chaos' throat as it forced Cosmos backward as it swept its sword towards her.
She wasn't quite quick enough to avoid the sword, as it swept across her arm, cutting the bare skin. Cosmos didn't even flinch as the wound healed itself, one of the many perks of being immortal. She brought her sword in front of her again to face the surprised Chaos.
"There is more to me than you remember"
Chaos remained silent, its eyes contemplating its situation. So, Cosmos had gained full immortality as it had. But that only covered her physical well being...meaning that it still had a chance if it could just...
Chaos flew towards Cosmos again, its sword aimed directly at her. It uttered a battle cry as it thrust its sword at her again. This time the sword fully missed as Cosmos dodged to the side to avoid being hit.
Cosmos saw a chance to strike as she brought her own sword down upon Chaos.
My Sacrifice
*~*
As the blade neared its target, Chaos suddenly disappeared from its spot and the sword passed though empty air.
Cosmos' let out a small gasp of surprise as she quickly turned around, her sword sweeping out beside her. She could hear a low growl of determination as her own sword shattered upon contact with the cold steel of another blade.
Her eyes filled with shock as she dropped the remnants of her sword.
I just want to say hello again
*~*
Goku punched another one of the dark creatures, pushing it's lifeless body aside as he glanced upwards to the battle above him. His eyes widened in horror as he saw the blade in Cosmos' hand shatter into what seemed to be a million pieces.
Time seemed to slow for him as he watched the events unfold right before his eyes.
He see a smirk upon Chaos' face as it thrust its sword forward again. Goku opened his mouth to cry out Usagi's name, but several of the dark minions jumped upon him in another attempt to bring him down, one blocking his sight in the process. He flung his arms to the side, throwing several off, and then he reached upwards to pry the one upon his head off. He roughly threw it to the ground and looked up again, just in time to see a sight that filled his heart with dread.
I just want to say hello again
*~*
Cosmos gasped as she felt the cold steel run through her flesh, and she cried out in pain as she felt a burning sensation spread from where the blade had struck. She glanced downwards, and saw something she had not been expecting. The blade was giving off a dull shine, which meant only one thing; it was draining away her energy.
Chaos laughed, pushing the blade deeper into its adversary's body. It kept a firm grip upon the sword's handle. It could feel the pure energy flowing into its body, and then it knew for sure; it had won.
"USAGI!" a voice cried from the ground.
Cosmos weakly turned her head to the side to see Goku fighting off many of the dark creatures, and every chance he would get he would look upwards at her and attempt to fly. But each time he was pulled down by a whole horde of the damned creatures.
"USAGI!" he called again desperately. It seemed to her that he was tired, and his energy running low. But even from this distance, she could see the worry that shone in his eyes.
"Goku-chan" she muttered to herself, shaking her head slightly "Iie...it can't end this way"
Mustering all of her strength, she reached upwards catching Chaos off guard.
"IIE!" she cried again , a brilliant silver light surrounding her. It spread to the blade forcing Chaos to let go and fly backwards away from her, shielding its eyes. The sword inside her disintegrated in mid air, but the damage it had caused was done. Cosmos knew she only had a limited amount of energy left, and there was only one option left. Flying towards Chaos again at speed that it had not been expecting, she brought the wicked being into an embrace.
'Ginzuishou' she prayed 'Do what it takes to destroy Chaos'
'I am incomplete...I must retrieve the part that the other holds'
*~*
Michiko gave a gasp of surprise as she felt a part of herself ripped away from body. She glanced down at a cut she had just acquired from the beast she had just killed.
Her blood was red.

*~*
'You do not have enough energy to accomplish this' the Ginzuishou protested 'The only way would be for you to sacrifice-'
'Hai I know! Just do it!' she commanded
'Wakatta.'
She felt Chaos struggling beneath her hold as she continued to pray to the Ginzuishou.
Chaos screamed as it felt the warm power surrounding them both. No! this couldn't be happening! It could feel its physical body being ripped away again as Cosmos kept a firm grip upon it. It had come so close to defeating Cosmos!
The spectators upon the ground had to shield their eyes from the intensity of the silver light that surrounded the two figures in the air. And the dark creatures could not stand the light them. Several of them screamed in terror as their bodies were wracked with pain, few escaped to the realm of darkness, but most died right on the spot that they had been standing on.
"Usagi!" Several of the senshi cried, for they all knew what she was doing.
"Iie! Usagi!" Goku cried again, shielding his eyes like the rest.
Usagi heard them, and she used the last of her strength for one last task.
'Arigato minna-chan for all that you've done' her voice sounded in their minds 'I guess it's my turn to protect you.'
"Iie...Usagi-chan" Makoto muttered, tears streaming down her face as she watched her friend the best she could.
"Usa" Goku muttered to himself, still trying to look upwards
'Goku' a soft voice whispered in his mind.
His eyes widened in surprise as he glanced around. No one else had heard it
'Gomen nasi Goku-chan' she continued 'Demo, I wish I could have told you-'
Chaos let out a horrified scream from above, and the glow increased, ridding the world of the darkness that had surrounded it. It became unbearable to watch, and everyone had to turn their back slightly. They all squinted at it, but none of them could make out the two figures.
'Aishiteru'
And that's when the light exploded for a brief moment, before disappearing altogether.
