"Sailor Cosmos? Queen Serenity? Is she causing this to happen to

Usagi-Chan?"

Ami asked looking very puzzled.

"Well... all the information on Sailor Cosmos is returning to my mind!

her powers are strong enough to destroy an office building! Her

power is devastatingly strong! Sailor Cosmos also has a Lunar wall

that can protect her from all attacks or absorb attacks from others!

But there is one draw back."

Luna explained.

"What?"

Ami asked.

"She requires lots of energy to be Sailor Cosmos! After a few

minutes, she can retransform into her current form. She may the

strongest soldier that has power, but she's also the weakest

soldier when it comes to energy."

Luna explained further.

"That could be dangerous for Usagi is becomes Sailor Cosmos."

Ami stated.

"You're telling me! I am already afraid for her! She has already

grown weaker. Preparing to become Sailor Cosmos will make her

weaker yet."

Luna told Ami in a very worried tone. A little while later, Rei

woke up and was shocked to find out that Usagi's hair had grown

longer and Usagi had also grown taller. Usagi was able finally to

rest peacefully. However, it wouldn't last. Usagi woke up in a

groggy state. Rei, Ami, and Luna were the only ones there at the

moment. Three worried faces focused on Usagi.

"Good morning Usagi."

Rei greeted her. However, Usagi didn't feel the same way! She

had a headache (not as bad as the ones she had during the night.)

Her legs ached like someone stretched them out.

"I don't feel well and you say good morning?"

Usagi acted coldly towards Rei.

"Usagi!"

Rei just said in a sharp tone.

"I am sorry... it's just..."

Usagi looked sad all of the sudden as tears developed in her eyes.

Not the tears of loud crying, just silent ones.

"Maybe you should have something to eat."

Luna suggested.

"I am not hungry..."

Usagi spoke while still crying.

"It will help build your strength. You'll need it. Believe me

Usagi-Chan."

Ami tried to convince her to eat.

"I SAID I DON'T WANT ANY!!!"

Usagi yelled. Then Usagi felt bad because she yelled at her friends.

"I am sorry... I shouldn't have yelled at you."

Usagi really felt bad.

"Usagi-Chan, please know this, we care for you. We just want you

to stay as strong as possible for as long as possible. I know you

went through a struggle last night. If you look in the mirror, you

will have noticed that your hair and legs have grown!"

Luna told her.

"What? My hair and legs have grown?"

Usagi asked in a puzzled state. She went to a mirror that Rei had on

wall. She saw the long hair going past her own feet. She also noticed

her long legs.

"Usagi? What do you think?"

Ami asked.

"It looks nice... but I am changing to my past self..."

Usagi spoke in a low tone.

"Maybe you should get ready for school."

Rei suggested.

"Hmm..."

Usagi thought.

"Go ahead!"

Ami suggested.

"Okay..."

Usagi felt like she didn't want to go, but they were right.

"It will be good for you to get out for a while. Please go!"

Luna urged her.

"Okay."

Usagi replied silently. After having a shower, dressing again and

also having some breakfast. Usagi was ready to leave. She put

on her brooch and left. Usagi was weak from the last two nights

of fierce struggling. However, on the way to school her brooch

started to go haywire! The Ginzuishou was taking energy from itself

from an untapped source and zapping Usagi Tsukino with great

brutality. The energy kept on zapping her as she struggled to

walk down the street. Finally she collapsed to the ground barely

awake. The energy finally died down long enough for her to

almost make it to school. On the last stretch to school, the

Ginzuishou started zapping her again with great relentlessness.

The Ginzuishou had never done this to her before. each time

being zapped, Usagi felt like it was putting power and energy

into her. This time, the zapping stopped long enough for her to

go inside the school. Usagi found her classroom and stood at

the doorway trying to catch a few breaths.

"Miss Tsukino, please take your seat."

The teacher told her. The teacher noticed how bad off she was.

"Naru-Chan, please help Usagi to her seat."

The teacher commanded. Naru got up and went to the door way.

Put Usagi's arm around the back of her neck and helped Usagi

to her seat.

"You're late! Since you look like you have been in a struggle

of some kind, I'll forget it this one time."

The teacher. Usagi felt relieved. Naru whispered to Usagi.

"How did you get so fatigued?"

Naru asked her.

"You just wouldn't understand..."

Usagi replied in a very low tone. Naru barely heard her. At

Lunchtime, Usagi didn't eat anything. She just sat by a tree.

Ami, Minako, and Makoto watched her from afar. They talked

among themselves.

"She looks much weaker than when she left this morning."

Ami stated.

"What could have happened?"

Makoto asked.

"I don't know."

Ami replied.

"It must have been bad for her to distant herself from us."

Minako stated. Naru saw Usagi and walked up to her and sat down

next to her. Naru placed her hand on Usagi's shoulder.

"What's bothering you Usagi?"

Naru asked.

"Naru... I don't think you could understand my dilemma."

Usagi spoke to Naru silently.

"Try me, Usagi."

Naru told her.

"I am sorry Naru, I can't tell you. It's too sad!"

Usagi was determined not to tell her.

"Usagi, why can't you tell me? Answer me!"

Naru begged.

"Because, it's too sad. I don't want you to be sad for me. But

if it makes you happy. When the time is right, I'll tell you

what's happening to me. I promise."

Usagi told her. Usagi ran off.

"Usagi! Be strong!"

Naru spoke to herself. After school, Usagi started to head back

to the Hikawa Shrine. She never made it there. The Ginzuishou

started zapping her again with energy wildly at an alarming rate!

Usagi made a scream and her brooch transformed her to Eternal

Sailor Moon and Eternal sailor Moon fainted and collapsed to the

ground on her back. After a while, Naru walked by a noticed

the comatose Sailor Moon.

"SAILOR MOON!?!"

Naru looked worried about the mysterious girl that saved her time

after time. Naru picked Eternal Sailor Moon and held her in her

arms.

"Eternal sailor Moon, you are just as weak as Usagi-Chan!

There must be a connection between you two!"

Naru asked the fainted Sailor Moon. Eternal Sailor Moon

started to awaken as she started to awaken. Usagi thought

to herself.

"I feel like I am being strengthened by someone familiar.

How ever, that touch is so gentle. That warm touch.

It's like I know that touch from somewhere. I get that

feeling that someone cares for me."

Eternal Sailor Moon thought to herself. Finally Eternal

Sailor Moon woke up and realized that someone was holding

her. She looked up and saw Naru sitting holding her.

"Eternal Sailor Moon, you have awoken finally. I am

glad. I was worried."

Naru told Eternal Sailor Moon.

"I knew that gentle warm touch. It was so familiar to me."

Eternal Sailor Moon told Naru. Naru stood up holding

Sailor Moon in her arms.

"Thank you. I am too weak to go anywhere on my own."

Eternal Sailor Moon told her.

"I will start walking, maybe one of those Sailor Senshi

will come by."

Naru told her friend Eternal Sailor Moon. In the distance

was Makoto. She noticed Naru holding Eternal Sailor Moon.

Makoto transformed into Sailor Jupiter. Naru was stopped

by Super Sailor Jupiter.

"Hey there, Naru-Chan. I see you rescued Sailor Moon. I

will take her from here."

Super Sailor Jupiter told her.

"Okay. here."

Naru transferred Eternal Sailor Moon to Super Sailor Jupiter.

"Thank you Naru-Chan. Thank you for helping her."

Super Sailor Jupiter thanked her and walked off with Eternal

Sailor Moon.

Later, eternal Sailor Moon was asleep on Rei's bed.

"She's worn out."

Minako stated. However, as Eternal Sailor Moon was getting

some rest and relaxation, the Ginzuishou started acting

wildly again!

"AARRGGHH!"

Eternal Sailor Moon cried out with a mighty scream. The

Ginzuishou acted with great force sending more and more

energy into her. This was too much for her. Eternal

Sailor Moon retransformed and fainted.

"So, it has begun."

Luna spoke to the others.

"What are you talking about?"

Makoto asked.

"The Ginzuishou is preparing Usagi to be Sailor Cosmos!"

Luna answered.

"Sailor Cosmos? The true form of Sailor Moon!?! It

can't be!"

Makoto looked puzzled.

"Yes. The Ginzuishou seems to know what's it's doing,

however, Usagi can't take much more of the Ginzuishou

zapping her."

Luna told everyone in a worried tone.

"If it don't stop, Usagi will be killed!"

Artemis yelled. The Ginzuishou stopped zapping her.

Usagi fainted.

"I fear for Usagi-Chan's life. She can't continue

taking these hits. How long will she endure this

kind of abuse?"

Luna asked. There were no real answers. Only

more questions.
