"Who…who are you?" The monster asked. The new being's aura felt the same as Eternal Sailor Moon's, but their appearances were so different.
The figure closed her eyes to narrow slits and sighed.
"I am the one you have known before." She took a small step forward.
"In a past life I was known as Princess Serenity, heir to the Moon Kingdom. In a previous stage of life I was know as Usagi Tsukino, who exercised her powers through the form of Eternal Sailor Moon." The figure's lips moved slowly.
"I am now known as," She paused.
"Sailor Cosmos."
The monster looked at her silently.
She continued, "I am no longer a celestial warrior. Upon my acceptance of this form I gave up my powers as Sailor Moon, protector of all. I am now the Guardian of the Universe." Sailor Cosmos stood straight, her appearance as regal as her position.
The monster began to speak slowly, "So you are no longer Serenity? The one I know?"
She shook her head. "The moment I perished on the Moon Kingdom was the moment I abdicated my throne inheritance. Though I went on to live in the future, I was no longer Princess Serenity. Just like I am now no longer Usagi Tsukino or Eternal Sailor Moon."
A tear slid down her face. "In the lives I have lived, my duty has always come first. No matter how many lives I live and perish from, my destiny has never changed. I have always been simply reborn to fulfill destiny's charge. I was never allowed to love on the Moon Kingdom. I was never allowed to be a teenage girl without responsibilities. I was denied of much until I would be granted my final form." The guardian of many lives spoke sadly.
"I understand," The monster said quietly. He then closed his wings in front of him. He stood with his wings around him for several moments before separating them and revealing Aikan.
"I was right," She said softly.
"Yes, you were. How did you know?"
"I have only known for a short period of time. When I was Usagi and Eternal Sailor Moon, I did not know. When I transformed into Sailor Cosmos, I noticed. The auras are different in some areas yet the same in others. What was the purpose of the form you previously inhabited?"
Aikan looked at Sailor Cosmos, when he came to see her one more time he thought it would be a loving reunion and he would help her bring out her power. Now he sees her in the midst of her power, and regrets it. ::Her innocence of the world around her used to be graced by a smile, even in her other lives. But…now..she is so…wise…far beyond her years….far beyond her desires…have I forced her into this? Maybe she could have beaten him without her power::
He looked at the ground dejectedly. "You will always be Serenity to me." He looked at her sadly. "Please remember that."
"I am not Serenity. I-I had no choice!" Cosmos turned her head to the side, not allowing her emotions to completely surface.
"Yes! Yes, you will always be Serenity! At least…to me…"
"Fine," She said softly. "Believe what you want. Just remember, that does not make it true."
Aikan stood crestfallen at her pessimism. "You were once my Serenity…I swear…you will be once again…"
Cosmos stood not moving and unemotionally replied, "I will never be Serenity again."
"All right, if you wish to remain with that opinion, so be it. However, there is something I must tell you."
His expression grew solemn.
"What is it?" Her soft voice lingered in the air as she awaited his answer.
"A demon…" His voice grew stern and unwavering. "A demon has possessed me. I didn't realize it before, when I made the agreement. I had wanted to see you and I was promised a way. I didn't realize…that I had let a demon inside of me. But, when I did realize what I had really done, I knew I would have to bring out your power. Yet, when I had always seen it in you when you were younger, it was pure and exultant. Just like your smile." Aikan's gaze trailed to Sailor Cosmos frowning lips. "Which I fear I may not be able to see again."
"Serenity has died, stop living in the past." The silver haired woman replied coldly.
"You will…" He stopped talking as he felt a churning feeling inside of him. "Serenity…" Aikan fell to his knees. "It's here…" He fell forward onto his stomach.
A hissing sound came as dark smoke came from Aikan's back. It began to form into a dark figure.
Almost like a shadow except for the glowing silver eyes, it became a figure void of all light. Shining in its purity of darkness. The shadow creature stood grinning with ecstasy at Sailor Cosmos.
"I was waiting," She said quietly.
"I know, it took a while but the old man kept on talking." The shadow's lips curved into a smirk. "Are you ready? You promised."
"Hai, I did." Cosmos' eyes looked to where her friends were laying. "But they were worth it."
"An odd perspective you have."
"It may be odd but," She looked at Sailor Mars, "It is the one that has saved everyone so many times."
Sailor Cosmos began to feel her eyes sting with a strange sensation. Her hand wandered to her face, her fingers exploring the warm liquid on her cheeks.
::I-I don't understand…this is supposed to be my final form…whether or not I like it…I'm supposed to be the guardian…:: She looked at the shadow. A creature pure in its darkness. ::Guardian…yet I feel regret…if this is my destiny for the rest of eternity, then why do I feel so unhappy?::
Sailor Cosmos looked at Ami. Her form in civilian clothing. ::Ami…your aspirations to become a doctor, you always worked so hard for it. It was your dream. It was always a little difficult for me to understand that because my I knew my future. I knew my future was to become Sailor Cosmos, but I never wanted it. So, I never worked for it. Not until I saw everyone getting hurt and Rei…Rei…chan…:: Cosmos shook her head. ::Your dream to become a doctor was what pushed you so hard to get it. And, now, I think I finally understand. My dream was always to be normal. At least, that was what it was at first. Then, I realized my true dream, to protect everyone I care about:: Tears continued to course down her cheeks. ::And now…now…I got everyone killed!:: A scream erupted from Cosmos.
The shadow looked at her in curiosity. "Are you going to keep your promise or not?"
Sailor Cosmos stopped her tears. She stood still. She glared at the shadow.
"You tricked me," She hissed.
The shadow grinned crazily, "So? You still agreed. You made your promise. Now you must keep it, dear Guardian."
She clenched her fists. This wasn't what she wanted. It wasn't her future. Not to be alone and be a guardian. Her duty was of another sort. And now she knew that, now she wouldn't be tricked anymore.
Her silver hair whipped around her as her aura flared. "You aren't going to do that. You aren't going to force me to keep a promise made so long ago, that would only do the opposite of its purpose."
The crazy grin remained on his face. "And what are you going to do about it?" He whispered menacingly before roaring in laughter. "Fight me? Is that what you are going to do? Fight me!" Fits of laughter overtook him as Sailor Cosmos continued to build her power.
Looking straight ahead of her into the silver of the demonic creature's eyes she shot a beam of power at him.
"Yeah," She tilted her head cockily. "Yeah, I'm going to fight you. Have a problem with that?"
The shadow silenced himself with the confidence of the guardian in front of him.
"B-but, you can't! Guardians can't fight!"
"Says who?"
"The dictation! The dictation of the Silver Millennium! Guardians aren't supposed to battle!"
Cosmos chuckled lightly. "An interesting concept, but I'm afraid it isn't true. That dictation was only issued to Sailor Pluto and there are exceptions made for even her. So sorry I may be Sailor Cosmos, a guardian, but I can still fight and I will!"
Her aura flared forcing the shadow back a few steps.
"I see," He spoke slowly, "I was tricked also. By that repulsive Queen Selenity!"
"Don't you dare," She seethed, "Insult my mother."
Sailor Cosmos centered her hands in front of her chest. A small object came out of her chest. The small object was circular and held eight different colors on the outside with a white center.
"This is a Senshi Stone." She raised it to eye level. "This is my Senshi Stone. It holds the power of the senshi." ::Among other things…:: She thought silently.
