- Chapter 9 - Betrayal
After wandering at the park, thinking about her findings on Chi and Phi, Galaxia returned to the castle to check on Chisa. While watching over her she started to develop a plan. A wicked grin appeared on her face, but she soon hid it when one visitor entered the room, Lethe.
- "So I see she has not regained consciousness yet…" - Lethe told Galaxia from the door.
- "Yes… she has not. So… are the arrangements ready?" - Galaxia told Lethe without looking back at her.
- "They are. Alpha has given her permission for you to use the teleporting system. You will be able to travel between the nine planets without getting out of the atmosphere". - Lethe answered while kneeling by the side of Chisa. - She really is precious to you, am I right?"
- "Yes, she is. After all she gave me a new life…" - Galaxia noted that Lethe was giving her a curious glance. - Well… if it had not been for her I would had died in that explosion… in a way you could say it is a new life" - Lethe seemed to understand this reasoning.
Travel between the nine planets was made via a teleporting system developed by their most renowned scientists. In truth, as Galaxia had learned with her investigation, it had been one of their greatest inventions. Before that, they used spiritual engine vehicles, which were really slow. With the creation of the teleporting system, visiting another planet was as easy as crossing a street. But it was not a service open to the public; it was restricted by a permission system. Galaxia asked Lethe for help to get permission, so her travels should be faster.
- "Ah… so this is planet Phi. Heh… the difference is not only in the buildings… I can feel it… the feelings of hatred on the air… the grudge really has become something that rules over their lives, even though many surely do not even know why… this is perfect Chaos-sama…"
- Phi Castle: War Room -
- "So sister… what do you think about the present matters?" Sailor Phi asked her twin, Sailor Chi.
- "About what? About those two senshi? I do not see any treat from them… Chisa is still unconscious, according to Lethe; and Galaxia has been reading the history of the Alliance" - Chi answered.
- "Yes… but you saw her on that meeting… I do not believe her story, about how they survived. She is hiding something…" - Phi answered back, while taking a glass of wine from the near table.
- "It does not matter I tell you. What we should be worrying is how to get revenge from Omega. That bi… that woman! She gets on my nerves. And Alpha! Always playing favorites with her. Whenever there is any conflict on her planet Alpha comes to the rescue… and whenever something happens to us, we must find a solution by ourselves. Damn it. I am sick of this". - Chi punched the wall, cracking it.
- "I know. Why should Alpha rule over the nine planets? I do not understand why the people are so blind. Can they not see that we are Senshi too? She always pretended to be some kind of goddess, while she was just a Senshi, she does not even have more power than us! But she has the support of the rest…" - Phi said, then proceeded to drink her glass of wine to the end.
- "Maybe I can help you with that…" - A voice said, putting Phi and Chi in alert.
Both Phi and Chi spun around to see a woman in a long white dress in the corner of the room, watching them. They were startled to find her there, as they did not detect her presence until she spoke. She had been hiding in the shadows. When the woman started to walk towards them they discovered who she was… Galaxia.
- "Why are you here? Where you spying on us? Who sent you? Alpha? … or Omega- Phi asked in fury.
- "Now, calm down… I have come to talk…" - Galaxia was cut off by Chi.
- "While spying us? You sure have guts doing so in this planet… we will not allow you to leave alive now, prepare to die Galaxia, what you heard, nobody will know"
- "PHI FATE POWER" - "CHI FATE POWER" - "MAKE UP" - Both sisters yelled at the same time, morphing their princess clothes to their senshi form. They both held their staffs menacely towards Galaxia.
- "So I see you will not listen to my words? Seems I will have to defeat you first… GALAXIA SHADOW POWER, MAKE UP" - Galaxia's long white dress was replaced by her gold senshi armor-like robes.
Phi launched herself towards Galaxia, trying to stab her with her staff. Galaxia side-stepped and stoped Phi with a direct punch to the face. At the same time Chi had jumped towards her, and was about to hit her with her staff when Galaxia received her with a backwards round-house kick to the face. Both Phi and Chi were sent backwards and crashed in a table and wall respectively.
- "You are slow… is that your best?" - Galaxia mocked the twins.
Phi drove power towards her hands and yelled- "PLANT BLIZZARD" - Thorns were shot directly at Galaxia.
- "GALACTICA SHIELD" - Galaxia stopped Phi's attack without sweating, creating an unbreakable shield in front of her. As soon as Phi's technique was nullified, Galaxia launched at her, crashing her knee onto Phi's chin, sending her to the floor wincing in pain, while blood flowed from her mouth and nose.
- "PHI, Damn you Galaxia- Chi proceeded to gather power and unleash it at her opponent - "PLANT JAVELIN BLASTER" - A green-leave energy javelin was sent towards Galaxia, but she, unexpected by Chi, received the full blast with her hands… and no damage was inflicted.
- "You call that power? I will show you POWER!" - Galaxia yelled as she ran and elbowed Chi in the stomach, sending her crashing towards her sister. Both twins stared at Galaxia while she gathered power. - "GALACTICA CRUNCH" - The attack seemed to attract both twins and the near furniture to a certain point, then, with a great force, they where sent flying and a great explosion involved the room. Smoke could be seen in the outside of the castle, while it expanded in the air.
- "An explosion!" - "It was on the castle's war room" - "The princess was there" - "Move you fools, go check what happened" - The voices of soldiers could be heard in the castle grounds.
- "So… will you hear me now?" - Galaxia told the twins, while she kneeled in front of their bloody bodies. -"Or should I demonstrate my power once more?"
- "What…do…you…want…?" - Phi said, while breathing hard.
- "Just kill us you damn Alpha supporter… she would be so happy to hear what happened to us, after you tell her what we were planning…" - Chi said, trying to sound strong… yet clearly in pain.
- "And who says I am an Alpha supporter?" - Galaxia told them, giving her sweetest smile, a smile that could freeze you in the spot. It seemed like a demon's smile… over her prey. Phi and Chi looked confused.
- "What?" - Both twins exclaimed.
- "Do you want power like mine?" - Galaxia offered.
Several soldiers were running towards the War Room. When they tried to enter, they found the door locked. They began yelling to the princess', to see if they were okay. - "Princess Chi, Princess Phi, are your majesties okay? Please answer!"
- "Everything is fine. Go back to your posts" - Phi answered them loudly.
- "Sister! What are you…" - Chi started to complain, but found herself talking in low voice… she also seemed interested in Galaxia's words.
Reluctantly the soldiers left, by orders of Phi. They never saw them bloody and beaten. - "Explain yourself Galaxia. How can we get power like yours?" - Phi asked, while standing and helping Chi to stand as well.
- "If you follow me, and follow Lady Chaos' ideals… I will give you these…" - Galaxia proceeded to show them a pair of Star Seeds. Before falling unconscious, Chisa, or rather Sailor Chaos, gave Galaxia the other three Star Seeds she had in her possession.
- "What are those? And what is this familiar feeling emanating from them… and who is Lady Chaos?" - Chi asked while staring at the shining crystals in Galaxia's palms.
- "These are Star Seeds… the soul of Senshi!" - Both Phi and Chi gasped, as recognition filled them… they felt a Senshi within the stones. - "These are the key to immortality, a technique bestowed into me by Lady Chaos… Chisa as you know her, she is the Judge."
- "You mean those crystals used to be someone like us? And what do you mean by Judge?" - Phi asked, sounded more interested than frightened.
- "She Judges if planets are worthy of living or not. To put it simple… join us… or your planets shall perish… join us and you will have your revenge… and true power, true immortality". - Galaxia offered the twins. - "If you want it… you shall collect Star Seeds for Lady Chaos".
Without hesitation both young girls kneeled in front of Galaxia and declared- "We accept!" - Both exclaimed. "For our lands… and our revenge" - Phi said - "For power and for Lady Chaos" - Chi exclaimed. - "We will collect them, bestow power onto us!" - Both said in unison.
- "And it shall be done." - Galaxia created two new pairs of bracelets and gave them to the twins. The bracelets attached immediately to their wrists, and they felt their power rising, a power never felt before flowing through their veins. In an instant the injuries Galaxia inflicted them on battle where healed. And comprehension fall upon them, that Galaxia did not use her true power on them. But it did not matter… with this power Alpha and Omega would fall for once and for all.
- "I will give you your first assignment… and I believe you will like it… bring me Sailor Omega's Star Seed".
- Omega Castle. Some hours later -
- "What do you mean all communication with the rest of the Alliance has been lost?" - A frantic Princess Omega told her counselor.
- "We do not know your highness. The scheduled teleports could not be made, and we can not contact any other castle. It seems all the systems failed" - The counselor told her, nervously.
- "There has to be a reason for this… something is wrong…" - And as if hearing her words, several explosions occurred in the outside. When both Counselor and Princess reached a window to watch, they where meet with a frightful sight. The city was burning.
- "What? NO!" - In her haste, Princess Omega jumped from the window. - " OMEGA PEACE POWER, MAKE UP" - And so, using her Senshi powers, Sailor Omega flew to the city.
As Omega flew nearer she found something unexpected. Two figures devastating and attacking the city. Sailor Phi and Sailor Chi.
- "What is the meaning of this? Have you both gone insane? Why are you attacking my people! The people of OUR Alliance!" - Omega screamed at them.
- "Alliance… what Alliance? That which is ruled by someone that who pretending to be a Goddess ascended to the throne? That which has always preferred your planet instead of ours? That which did not do a thing to help our lands in the ancient war, yet helped yours? We do not follow such lie" - Chi told her, with an unheard viciousness in her voice.
- "You are insane… Alpha will come to my aid… Alpha and the others! You will pay for your crimes!" - Omega told them.
- "And how will she get here in time… there is no teleport system" - Phi said, grinning maniacally.
- "You did that!" - Omega yelled, comprehension falling.
- "Ding Ding! We have a winner! Hahahahah" - Phi mocked her.
- "You… PEACEFUL RAY!" - A white ray of energy flew directly towards Phi, who received the impact, without moving.
- "Is that it?" - Phi exclaimed, emerging from the dust cloud lifted by the ray. - "You are not even taking advantage of the nature of your attacks… yelling like that… your powers should be silent…" - In a flash Phi was in front of Omega, lifting her from the floor, while strangling her throat. - "…like this".
Phi released her throat in mid air, and kicked her in the face, before falling, making Omega go crash through a nearby vehicle. Chi, meanwhile, continued to bring death and destruction to the Omegaians.
While trying to stand up, Omega, vomited blood. - "Damn you… PEACE…" - Before she could summon her technique, Chi had hit her with a Javelin Blaster, piercing her shoulder.
- "Did my sister told you not to be so hasty? You are going down. Phi, do the honors, get the Star Seed for Lady Chaos" - Chi said, while throwing Omega to Phi. Omega was sent flying with her back to Phi.
- "Die Sailor Omega." - Phi said while piercing Omega's back with her palm in a sword-fashion-way.
- "Gahh… you traitors…" - Were Omega's last words, before falling dead. Phi proceeded to take her arm out of her body, and when she did, a small crystal was in her hand, Omega's Star Seed. The fallen Senshi's body disappeared in a cloud of dust.
- At the same time, in Chisa's room, Alpha Castle -
- "It has begun Lady Chaos… it has begun… hahahaha" - Galaxia laughed, while Chisa slept. At the very same time, terror was spread among Alpha's townspeople as a stellar explosion occurred. Planet Omega had exploded killing thousands.

- "What we should be worrying is how to get revenge from Omega. She gets on my nerves. And Alpha! Always playing favorites with her. Damn it. I am sick of this". - Chi punched the wall, cracking it with a low sound, then the whole wall bend and fell, showing it was made of wood and painted cardboard, and revealing the astonished camera and sound technicians behind.
- "Cut!"- Shouted the director. –"Look girl, I know you are supposed to be a super strong heroine, but please, our set budget can only get us so far, be more careful."
