Chapter 11: Plans and Struggles

"Stop screaming at me!"

The voice of Hamano could be heard. What's worse, it was like an echo in her room. Chaos has provided her a place in her castle in the Galaxy Cauldron. It was a closer space to the Universe so they could traverse easily. Hamano was sprawled on her bed and seemed to be talking to herself.

"No, I'm trying to help you!" she moaned again. An unknown voice retorted back at her.

"Please! I don't want to be stuck in here! Why and how did you even take over?!"

Hamano put her hands to her face. It wasn't her fault, she thought. Usually she'd brush it off, but...she cared for her own, vulnerable self now. She cared for her more than anything else in the Universe. To her, she was her Princess, and nobody's going to steal her away. Her Diamond Princess, hers to own. Not even Galaxia would lay a finger on her.

"It was your own will, Diamond. Please, I'm doing this for the both of us." she sighed.

"In what way??" the voice returned.

"Have you ever heard of Sailor Lethe and Mnemosyne?" Hamano sat up. A vague figure of the Diamond Princess can be seen.

"They cared for each other and vowed to follow Galaxia in order to achieve happiness."

Hamano nodded. "And what did they get in the end?"

"....happiness." the voice lowered.

"That's correct. They sacrificed what they had to achieve it. That's what we are doing now. So it's best if we came with Chaos." Hamano said. The voice gave a little gasp and stopped her protests. Hamano gave a sigh of relief and got up to see Chaos.

Chaos was in the throne room, playing with a little Star Seed. She tinkled it a little and let it fly in her collection. The number of Star Seeds were uncountable, just as the people who lost their lives. She was indeed grateful to the Galaxy Cauldron, and cursed it at the same time.

"Chaos, I finally found the essence of Galaxia's Star Seed. Plus..." and she let a few Star Seeds off to Chaos' hand. Chaos smirked and looked at Hamano, who was now dressed in red.

"Good job, whose Star Seeds are these?" Hamano shrugged and folded her arms arrogantly.

"Sailor Pallas', Sailor Juno's, Sailor Vesta's and Sailor Ceres'. I took a little trip to the 30th Century." she said. Chaos was indeed shocked. How in the Universe did she ever cross time without help? But no matter, these Star Seeds were indeed...shiny.

"Good job, how long did you finish them off?" Chaos tried to strike a conversation.

"A minute and a half." she checked her stopwatch.

"That was quick." and she smirked to herself.

Galaxia and her Animamates took a trip to the Forever Eclipse Planet, where they found Sailor Lethe and Sailor Mnemosyne as guards of the palace. Sailor Lethe immediately spotted them and welcomed them in. The Princess Corona saw their arrival and they met in the Corona Meeting room.

"So you're saying that Hamano has been joining Chaos...?" she said coldly.

"Yes, she has allied herself with Chaos since two days ago." Sailor Tin Nyanko said while holding Iron Mouse's hand. Iron Mouse didn't feel like getting out of her grasp, instead..

She felt quite safe.

"We need a plan. I've already got a few feedbacks from the Solar System Senshi and we definitely need all the help we can get." Sailor Galaxia said, trying to keep her composure. The only reason why she could transform is because of Chibi Chibi, her true Star Seed. Chibi Chibi held her hand and never let go of it, because when she lets go, she will return to her human form.

"Yes, please stay for a while to discuss." Princess Corona said. She couldn't let this come to pass.

Back in Earth, Seiun was thinking hard. What did that kiss try to do to her? She tried to remember and gasped.

Last night, the figure of Chibi Chibi nearly appeared, if the other Hamano didn't stop her. She was targeting Chibi Chibi because Chibi Chibi's her Star Seed! Just then, Chibi Chibi walked towards Seiun. Sein instantly hugged Chibi Chibi and shed a few tears.

"Chibi Chibi-chan, you'll never leave me, right?" she asked between sobs. The red-headed girl smiled and hugged back.

"I'll never leave, Chibi!" she replied. Seiun was glad that there were still people who cared for her.

As Seiun got to work in Ginga TV, the Animamates in the 2nd floor looked like they're slacking off with cakes and soft drinks. But they weren't. They decided to make a plan without their leader's knowledge. Nezu and Nyanko conspired that they see Hamano in person, as the witch she currently is and try to get rid of the evil spirit inside her. Aya and Akane will be the second to attack as they will be the final showdown. They also decided to use the Eternal Animamates Power to stop her.

"But if the situation is different, then we will have to plan in the battlefield, chuu." Nezu sighed. Nyanko put her hand on her shoulder and smiled.

"We'll find a way, we're sure of it." The rest of the Animamates agreed with her. They got up from their seats and clasped their brooches which were awarded to them as Sailor Chuu, Sailor Mermaid, Sailor Coronis and Sailor Mau respectively.

"ANIMAMATES POWER! MAKE UP!" all of them shouted. They teleported to Uranus to meet the Outer Senshi.

Seiun got up from her desk and decided to talk to her Animamates. But she was shocked when she saw four sparks of glitter which were white, black, brown and blue. Chibi Chibi held one of them and the glitter instantly showed them what was supposed to be hidden. Seiun held Chibi Chibi's hand and transformed into her temporary Senshi self, when she didn't have the Saffer Crystal. Chibi Chibi also transformed and nudged her to go to Usagi's house.

In Usagi's house, they arrived just to see Eternal Sailor Chibi Moon crying to Usagi. Sailro Galaxia approached her and asked Usagi what's wrong.

"Chibiusa's Senshi from the future has been killed!" Usagi exclaimed. Galaxia and Chibi Chibi were shocked! Who could've done this?!

"Princess Small Lady Serenity, who did that to your friends?"

"It was a Senshi...with black diamonds! She tried to get my Sailor Crystal, but Plu saved me. Then the attack hit Plu at the back! Hotaru-chan also tried to save Ceres, Juno, Palas and Vesta, but she also was hit at the leg.." she cried. Sailor Galaxia urged Usagi to call all her friends and go to Uranus.

"This isn't the end yet, Sailor Moon. It's just the beginning."

Haaaah! I'm done! Oh yes, should I put the death of the Animamates in the next chapter? Just asking!

Please review! =D
