The next day, Seiya couldn't help but to dwell back to the really strange encounter he had with Galaxia.  The only good thing was that it kept him from thinking about Usagi so much.  He still did, just not as often. When he met up with her later that day, she told him about what happened at the club when they went, which was to put it one way, nothing. Ami was still convinced that the club had something to do with the recent monster attacks, but they had no way to prove it and even after sneaking into the place, they couldn't locate anything at all. The only aspect they found unusual was the bartender talking about some strange woman who tried to kill him earlier that day. Seiya told her what happened when he went as well; of course, he failed to mention the run-in with Galaxia. He hated himself for not telling her too; it was almost like he was lying. He tried to convince himself that it wasn't really lying, just not telling everything, but even that didn't seem right.

He was on the way back to the club when there were several more attacks. The increased power of the monsters, combined with the groups scattered in different locations, made them difficult to defeat this time. Even as Sailor Star Fighter, her powers seemed to be of very little effect on some of the creatures. They had to split up into pairs, there were so many attacks. She was luckily able to go with Sailor Moon, much to the dismay of a certain wind soldier. During one of the fights she spotted the club owner, Shin, not too far away. Now, if Galaxia was right and she was involved, that could have been a major clue, but still she didn't want to believe that such a beautiful woman could be the cause of so much trouble.

Sailor Star Fighter took her attention away from the woman, back to the battle on hand, which they were gaining a major advantage over. The teamwork with Sailor Moon was surprisingly working out, and the monster seemed to know it too. The creature turned to run, a portal appearing in front of it.

"I don't think so," Fighter spoke to herself and ran after the creature, jumping through the portal as well. She thought she heard Sailor Moon yell something, but she couldn't tell what.

Fighter landed on some hard, cold flooring, where she rolled on her side before coming to a stop. For some reason she had a hard time clearing her head as she started to get to her feet. A laugh echoed all around her making things even worse; it wasn't until a few moments later that she was actually able to focus. Shin stepped out of the shadows, wearing the same suit she saw her in before.  Fighter guessed that not all "bad guys" wore strange outfits.

"So, Galaxia was right."

Shin smirked. "Galaxia is a naïve fool."

"I take it you don't like her?"

"You shouldn't either; I know what happened to your people. You should actually be thankful that I'm taking her out of your hair." She gestured her hand towards a revolving wall.  The wall moved, revealing the fallen form of the golden queen.

"She already died once for her crimes."

"Ah yes, but you know if she had the chance she would do it all over again." Shin started walking forward, narrowing the distance between Star Fighter and herself.

"I don't know that, and neither do you. Why are you doing this anyway? Was Galaxia right about you being parts of Chaos that were left over?"

"In a way, I suppose. We feed on your power... so rich... we can't get enough of it."

"You're even crazier than her." Fighter took a step back.

"Well, she's of no concern anymore anyway."

".... What did you do?" Star Fighter wasn't sure why she actually even cared, but she thought back to what Galaxia showed her.

"The same thing I'm going to do to you." Shin let out an evil laugh right before leaping on Star Fighter, tackling her to the ground. "And then the rest of the people... So much power... so much tasty power."

"You're... insane..." Fighter struggled to push her off.

"Maybe, but I'm in a better position than you are." She grinned. "I always did like when they let me stay on top."

She leaned down like she was going to kiss her, but Fighter felt a pain in her chest.  She refused to cry out, even as her power was being stolen away. Everything was about to go black when some force flung Shin off of her. She looked up to see Galaxia standing up with her arm outstretched.

"Never... under... estimate me." Her words were slow, but still spoken with strength. "You... shouldn't have come here... starlight..."

Fighter couldn't help but to smile. "You know I couldn't let you fight this alone and take all the credit." She thought she saw Galaxia crack a smile at the comment, but that might have been just her imagination.

Galaxia moved over to where Star Fighter was, but soon dropped to the floor after reaching the spot. She was obviously drained; moving seemed to even take great effort. ".... on her chest.... there is a crystal... it's holding her powe--" Her words faded as she collapsed fully on the ground.

Star Fighter looked up to see Shin moving towards her again.

"That wasn't very nice, Galaxia. I may have to teach you another lesson."

Fighter narrowed her eyes. "Why don't you try me first?"

"Oooh, who would have thought that you would stick up for her." Shin smirked. "Very well." She turned to see Fighter pointing a finger at her. "What's this? Don't you know it's rude to point?"

Star Fighter smirked, but didn't answer her statement with any response other than, "Star Serious Laser!" The attack grew around her hand before exploding forward to hit Shin at a very close range. The woman screamed and grabbed her chest. The area around them seemed to twist and distort with her destruction. Fighter almost thought she was going to meet her own end; ironic, in a way, if she and Galaxia were to die together. The place around her fell away to reveal a normal-looking building. She blinked a few times and stood up to see Usagi running towards her.  Yaten and Taiki were close behind.

"Seiya!" Usagi called out.

"What are you two doing here?" Fighter asked the two she wasn't expecting to see.

"Hmph, you could show a little gratitude. The Princess made us come and make sure you weren't doing anything stupid." Yaten folded his arms across his chest.

"We came to help," Taiki answered. "But..." He looked around. "You seem to have taken care of the situation."

"Well it wasn't just me..." She looked down to see that Galaxia was gone. "What?! Where'd she go?!"

"Who?" Yaten looked at her oddly.

"Eh, nothing." Fighter shook her head.

"You seem to be acting strange." Taiki stated.

"You have no idea." Star Fighter glanced up at the sky. She could have sworn she saw a shooting star, even in the daylight, but her eyes might have been playing tricks on her.
