At times Sora wondered why they, themselves didn't go with their people, away from this desolate place, rebuilding itself full of hatred and confusion. Sahara was just too weak to rule anything or to really care for anything.
Queen Sahara looked up from her depression, stroked Sora, and walked to where she now kept her only transformation item; a necklace with an extremely important charm on it; Nemisis' power, The Pheonix. Sahara looked at it with huge eyes, as memories flooded her. Sora looked at the pendant then at her friend, she knew what was going through her mistress' mind.
(Flash backs)
"Sahara, you are so lucky!" her older sister squealed.
"Mia, you are the one who is lucky. You are gonna become the first sailor soldier!"
"Yeah, well I'll be away from a home a lot. But you get to be what mom is!"
"What, the complete ruler of some galaxies?" Sahara looked up. "This job is gonna be boring and hard to keep." she sighed.
"Point? You get be home and become a well respected and cherrished person. The universe's most powerful ruler no less. All I get to do is destroy evil, probably continually, as there are a lot showing up now-a-day." Mia smiled and hugged her sister as she needed to go and train.
Sahara looked down and she saw her kingdoms in peril, she knew it was futile to call her sister.
"Phoenix!" she yelled and transformed into a great fire-bird. It swooped down bombing the terrorists with massive fireballs. Though the kingdom was almost in shambles she knew she had done her best and must help her kingdom even more.
'I can't wait to give this to Arianna.' she beamed to herself, looking at her charm and thinking of her newborn. 'She will be a proud princess and queen.'

"My queen." Sora broke Sahara out of her trance.
"Yes?" she sniffed.
"It was inevitable. I am sorry to say this but I cannot sit here with you and see you this way."
A wind blew through the empty castle, chilling them to the bone. Sora looked up, confused as she has never seen this figure, clad in gold, approaching them before. Sahara also looked up confused and hurt at first, then her eyes widened and filled with tears once more.
"Sister!" she whispered in a quivering voice.
"Sahara." the figure sneered. "I am glad I've caught you in this time of grief."
Sora started to growl, and Sahara stared at this figure with some fear.
"Mia..." she trailed off as her sister advanced.
Galaxia snickered. Not caring that her heart was ripping itself out trying to stop herself not to do the inevitable. Even though Sora was getting sick to the stomach, she kept her ground as the evil approached. Galaxia put her gold covered wrists together, and yelled a phrase no one could decipher. Sahara, too scared to move, was hit and killed as her star seed was taken. Sora launched an attack and attempted to go for the neck but Sailor Galaxia stopped her with a blow to the ribs. Sora let out a yelp and fell to the ground.
"Now puppy, I know you can talk. Now what's that matter, hmm?" she snickered. "She would have died anyway from the broken heart my niece gave her."
Sora looked up with anger in her eyes. "She still could have regained her strength and ruled." she gasped.
"I doubt that." she grabbed the bright star seed. She glanced down at the charm in her sister's dead hand and took that too. "Now I give each of the on-lookers or in some cases my victims the choice to live or die. What's the choice puppy?" she smirked at the helpless dog.
"I prefer to die." she spat out.
Galaxia lifted her arms ready to strike when an idea hit her. "Perhaps not. My plan is to get all the star seeds of the powerful Sailor Scouts of the universes."
Sora laid there in vain, trying to get her strength back to attack again.
"You of course lived with many of them and so you will help me." Galaxia gave an evil smile. "You will become my slave." she lifted her arms and a golden collar magically appeared on Sora, her wounds healed, and she sat up waiting for a command. Though inside she fought desperately to stop herself.
