Last Time: "Saturn, you shouldn't have done that." whispered Selene harshly.

Nightshade laughed, "Poor Saturn…Are you weak? I mean after that battle today…." She fired another blast. Saturn put up the shield again. This time though, the blast broke through and Saturn and Selene were both knocked down. Selene sat up and looked at Saturn, who was unconscious.

"Saturn? SATURN?!?" Selene cried, "Nightshade, you have gone too far. I vowed that I would wait and not fight in front of the scouts. I CAN NOT let this go unpunished." Selene stood up. "I will finish this here and now. Galaxy Moon POWER!"

The scouts stood dumfounded.

Chapter 20- Rini's and Hotaru's New Friend, Part Two.

The scouts looked at the small girl in amazement. She glared at Nightshade, causing Nightshade to laugh.

"Amusing, if you want your….friends alive and unharmed, then I suggest that you come with me."

Galaxy Moon laughed then frowned. "Obviously, you didn't understand. I am going to eliminate you."

Nightshade fired an arrow. Galaxy Moon jumped and the arrow hit the ground where she once stood. Taking her own bow out, Galaxy Moon returned the fire that Nightshade shot at her. Galaxy Moon landed and kept her balance as she pointed the arrow again at Nightshade. It started to glow white and Nightshade watched in mild amusement. The small Senshi narrowed her eyes.

"Galaxy Moon Arrow….Pierce!!!!"

The arrow left the bow and turned into a streak of light. At the last moment, Nightshade vanished. Galaxy Moon looked around the area and started to panic. Suddenly, Nightshade appeared behind Galaxy Moon. The young Senshi turned and her eyes widened. Nightshade grinned evilly.

"Dark Shadow Attack."

The blast hit Galaxy Moon and she bit back a scream. Her broach started to glow with the straining power.

'I can't hold on. My powers…..great Goddess Selene…help me…'

Galaxy Moon screamed and the energy exploded. The dust started to clear and the scouts held their breath. The first thing they saw was Nightshade still standing, but now with a triumphant look on her face. Then they saw Selene, laying on the ground, un-transformed. She had cuts and bruises all over. Mini-Moon and Saturn ran over to see if she was alive. Selene was breathing barely. She opened her eyes and sat up.

"Selene, Are you ok?" Mini-Moon asked out loud, then in a quieter voice asked, "Mama? Are you ok?"

Selene looked at the two Senshi with a confused look. Then she noticed that she had de-transformed and looked around. She saw her necklace laying on the ground, shattered. Her eyes widened and she started to shake her head.

"….no…NO!"

Nightshade laughed, "Poor little Moon girl. Your powers are shattered, along with that necklace. You can't help but watch your friends suffer now."

Selene's eyes filled with tears at the truth. She gently picked up the remains and looked at them sadly. The whole reason she left was to get stronger, to not be a burden. Saturn laid a hand on her shoulder quietly. Nightshade smirked.

"Now that you are no longer a threat, I will take care of the other sailors."

Uranus frowned, "Let's see you try."

Nightshade laughed and fired a wave of arrows. The scouts scattered and Uranus fired off her World Shaking attack.

'I want to help them…..'

"Zeus Lightning Hurricane!" The attack hit a barrier that then reflected it back at Mars. Mars jumped in time and Jupiter cursed.

'I can't transform…..I need to, I will….'

Mercury typed on her computer. She glanced up every so often to see if an attack was heading toward her or not. Nightshade did send an attack, but Zoisite blocked it. Mercury blushed but continued looking for a weakness, while Zoisite defended her. Malachite fired an energy blast but it missed and hit the ground. Nightshade had now seemed to think of this as fun. Her arrows though were starting to get to be accurate. Mercury looked up.

"Guys, we need to overwhelm her!"

Nightshade growled, "Not likely." Zoisite had to grab and tackle Mercury to save her from a blast.

'My powers are still there….I just need to summon them.'

Venus looked up, her symbol glowing. "Aphrodite Love Confusion!"

Nightshade laughed and dodged it also, but this time Mars was ready, her symbol also glowing.

"Aries Flame Inferno!"

Nightshade almost got hit but saw it in time to dodge, and returned fire. Saturn looked at Selene worried but then joined the battle.

'How do I? They'll get hurt and I can't help.'

***Flash Back***

A seven year old Serene looked at her sensei. The older scout was a hard teacher but she was also kind.

"Release your POWER! Serenity, you will never grow strong if you stay like this."

Serena braced herself and called on her power. The next thing she knew was that her sensei was laying on the ground battered and she had no memory of it. Her eyes widened with fear and she started to cry. After that, Serena never used her powers again.

***End of Flash Back***

Selene was lost in her memories when a pain-filled scream pierced the air. She turned and saw Mini-Moon laying on the ground unconscious. Something clicked inside of her.

***Flash Back***

Five year old Serena ran through the burning village. Her short legs carried her past the gruesome scene on the ground. Her crescent moon glowed softly.

"MAMA?!?!"

Serena turned the corner and stopped. Four riders, dressed in black armor sat on horses. Her mother and father stood in front. Her father wore his Moon armor, while her mother wore her Moon priestess robes. One of the black riders cut down her father. Serena bit back a scream. Her mother sensed her and looked. Worried-blue eyes met saddened Silvery eyes.

"Serenity, RUN! Go, now and save the future!"

As soon as those words left her mouth, she was stabbed through by the same black rider that had killed her father. Serena screamed and ran in the opposite direction.

***End of Flash Back***

"NO! RINI!!!!!!!"

Nightshade stopped and looked at her. The scout did also and Pluto and Saturn gasped. A silver aura surrounded the small child.

"STOP! STOP NOW! I WON'T SEE ANYBODY GET HURT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The crescent moon appeared and glowed. It changed into the colors of each of the scouts before flashing to a eight point star with a crescent Moon in the middle.

"Cosmos Sailor POWER!"

Selene closed her eyes and held her hands out. Energy from all the planets in the Solar System gathered in her hands. She held it up and ribbons fell from it and wrapped around her. Her body matured, into a young woman, and then the sailor uniform was formed. Selene gasped when a beam of energy shot through her blinding the others. When the light cleared, Selene stood as Sailor Cosmos.

"What? How dare she?" Nightshade screeched and stepped back. Sailor Cosmos opened her eyes. Putting up her hand energy started to collect. Nightshade started to teleport away. A violet light surrounded her. Saturn stood with her glaive glowing. Nightshade started to panic.

"No!"

Cosmos put her hand pointing at Nightshade. Energy blasted toward Nightshade.

"No!!!!!!!" Nightshade was vaporized. The scouts looked at Cosmos. Saturn spoke up first.

"Well, I see your final powers have emerged, Princess. Welcome, Princess Serenity, Sailor Cosmos."
