Hiya!! i hope everyone had a good Fourth of July. Fireworks...kewl. Most of this chapter's gonna have fighting, and more deaths (boo-hoo). I only read about 20 pages of my summer reading book. English teachers are such butt-munches. Okay, let's start!! Hehe...the title of this chapter was...something.

The Enemies That Were Formerly Allies

She looked down at her trembling hand. Her closest friends were lost...and the remaining two were under Galaxia's malicious control. Sailor Galaxy stood up and scowled coldly at the ground.

Galaxy "How could you..."

She wheeled around and chastised Uranus and Neptune. Yet their eyes remained as insipid as ever.

Galaxy "They were our friends!! What's happened to you!?"

Uranus "Shut up."

Galaxy growled. The Uranus she knew was gone.

Uranus "Friends or not, they were weak."

Neptune "It's best to be strong than holding onto some useless faith."

Suddenly, they raised their bracelet covered wrists. Galaxy prepared to run, but the hands extended out as if they were greeting her.

Neptune "Join us...and stay strong forever."

Uranus "We'll rule the universe next to Galaxia and we'll be invincible."

Sailor Galaxy couldn't believe what she was hearing. Sailor scouts wanting power!?

Galaxy "Have you forgotten everything!? What about your mission to protect Sailor Moon!? Was that all fake!?"

Again, their eyes remained dull. It infuriated Galaxy that they completely changed the rules and acted as if it was no big.

Uranus "Our new mission..."

Neptune "Is to be the strongest force ever imagined."

And that was it. Sailor Galaxy realized that Amara and Michelle gave up hope and found the only means to survive: by serving the enemy.

Her anger got the best of her. Galaxy instantly drove into a dash for the duo.

Galaxy "URANUS!!"

She jumped in the air and aimed for the blonde scout. Galaxy brought out her right foot and tried a knockout blow to her head. But Uranus raised her left arm and defended herself easily. Sailor Galaxy landed back to ground level and charged at her again. She kept trying to land a blow on Uranus, but every attempt was ineffective. Fighting her formidable rival was bad enough for Galaxy.

But it was worse when Neptune jumped in. The scout of the seas came up from behind and tried to give a karate chop to Galaxy. The solar scout saw through her trick and quickly moved away. Uranus and Neptune joined together again and looked towards Sailor Galaxy.

Looking back, she was probably fighting her biggest battle yet. She fought against a duo before, Cyprine and Petirol, but they were nothing compared to the pair standing before her. They were tactical: partners that worked together in everything. Sailor Galaxy had to find a foolproof plan to stop them, but what? From the looks of things, the only solution was swift death. Galaxy didn't want to go in that direction, but she couldn't find another reasonable way.

She summoned her daggers and looked into their eyes. Galaxy gave the message that she was gonna do her best, no matter what the circumstances. Crossing them in front of her, the solar scout charged at Uranus and Neptune at high speed.

"SOLAR HACHIREN--"

But Sailor Uranus and Neptune didn't forget their own powers.

"URANUS WORLD..."
"NEPTUNE DEEP..."

The spheres of energy were almighty. Galaxia's bracelets weren't only for fashion. Sailor Galaxy slowed down with fear and amazement, looking up at the spheres. She had a feeling that the attacks would mean a great deal of hurt if they connected.

And they did.

"SHAKING!!"
"SUBMERGE!!"

The flashes caught Sailor Galaxy off guard and clashed with omnipotent force. Her daggers disappeared as she flew straight into the wall.
CRASH!!"
Her back bone felt like cracking, but it still supported Galaxy as she broke through the building and landed on the studio rooftop. Debris flew on her from the blast. She tried to protect herself, but all her muscles seemed to fail her.

Galaxy (Crap! If I ever get past them, how am I gonna stand up against Galaxia!?)

Now that she thought of it, Galaxia's name sounded vaguely familiar. Not that her name was derived from it or anything, but she distinctly remembered a woman named Galaxia in her past.
The Sailor Wars...
Uranus and Neptune emerged from the rubble and walked towards Sailor Galaxy. The solar scout jumped under her skin at the sight of them and began to back away. But Sailor Uranus rushed up and grabbed her neck.

Uranus "Come on. Is this all the solar scout has?"

She lifted Sailor Galaxy from the ground and held her at the neck. Galaxy started to lose her breath and suffocate. In a hopeful attempt, she gave a karate chop to her elbow and cut off her nerves for a split second. It was all she needed. Uranus immediately dropped her and held her own throbbing elbow, trying to regain her nerves. But the solar scout vanished from her eyes and teleported right behind her.

Uranus (Damn! An opening!!)

Uranus spun around and found Galaxy's left foot coming up to the left side of her face.
BAM!!
At the last moment, she raised her arm and blocked Galaxy's back kick. But then her upper body turned a full 180 degrees and her right fist came straight to the face. Sailor Uranus grabbed it in the nick of time in midair. Galaxy had more in store as she turned her full body upside down and drove her right foot into her range. Uranus raised her arm above her head and blocked that attack, too.

Now that her limbs were tied up, Galaxy found an opportunity at Uranus's gut. She clenched her left fist and punched right into her blindspot, bringing forth some sort of pain. Uranus seemed to flinch, but there was something in her reaction that bothered Sailor Galaxy. Finally, the blonde scout chuckled and caught her by surprise.

Uranus "The same move won't work on me twice."

Not far away, Neptune created a sphere of water and aimed it at the two rivals. Sailor Uranus instantly let go of Galaxy and jumped away, leaving her to endure the attack alone.

"NEPTUNE DEEP SUBMERGE!!"

The sphere of water engulfed Sailor Galaxy and pushed her up on a wall. Drenched and debilitated, she was ready to give up; there was nothing left in her. Galaxy tried to stand up, but she was "assisted" by Uranus as she held her by the neck. Sailor Uranus slammed her against the wall and sucked out what was left of her energy. Galaxy tugged and struck at the arm but her grip was firm. Sooner or later, she would suffocate to death. Neptune walked up and stood right next to her partner.

Uranus "You don't have a ghost of a chance of winning. I should just put you out of your misery."

Neptune "Hmm...that sounds good."

Galaxy "Oh, yeah. Please, kill me so I don't have to listen to your preppy complaints."

Neptune "So you're really giving up?"

Galaxy "...Yeah, but first..."

Her hand mustered up what was left of her energy and transformed it into lethal potency. It glowed with a dark purple aura as Galaxy tried to hide it.

Galaxy "A little parting gift."

Sailor Uranus chuckled until a dark palm of energy was shoved in her face. The close distance made it impossible for h to escape in time.

Uranus "Dark energy!!"

Neptune "Sailor Saturn!!"

"SILENT DEATH!!"

The energy grew as consumed Uranus into its power. Sailor Galaxy closed her eyes from the horror of the attack as she remembered how it rested in her hands in the first place...

Saturn "You're...our only hope...here..."

Although her hand was transparent, dark purple energy was garnered into her palm. Sailor Saturn raised it in front of Sailor Galaxy, quickly losing strength. Her mind was still garbled when she saw the energy.

Saturn "A final gift..."

Galaxy "What is it?"

Galaxy's hand slowly absorbed the energy from Saturn and coursed through her veins.

Saturn "The gift of death."

Sailor Galaxy gasped. The power of death was given to her under such circumstances...

Saturn "When the time comes, you'll know when to use it."

Galaxy "What?"

But before she could reply, Saturn lost it all as she fell alongside Pluto The visible energy quickly vanished from Galaxy's palm as the last of their bodies evaporated...

Sailor Galaxy laid motionless on the rooftop while she tried to find the strength within her. Not far from her, Uranus and Neptune laid in a worse condition as particles appeared around them. Their bodies turned transparent during their deep thinking.

Neptune "Was it wrong...to try and be strong?"

Uranus "It's just...our way of attaining it...that was wrong...Anna..."

Sailor Galaxy eventually got up on her arms and looked over at Uranus.

Uranus "Looks like you won, after all. Good...job..."

She chuckled; Sailor Galaxy didn't find it funny at all. It wasn't right; that wasn't the way she wanted to settle the battle between them: in a life or death situation.

Galaxy "...Idiot..."

Galaxy watched as the last of the scouts evaporated and left behind two starseeds. The gold starseed of Uranus drifted back into the building, followed by the aquamarine starseed of Neptune. The only ones left were herself and Sailor Moon.

She regained some lost strength and stood up on her feet. The environment seemed to be in a swirl; Galaxy didn't know which way to go. Leaning forward, her body began to sway over the edge of the roof. Her mind was confused, power started to grow within her, and Galaxy finally leaned off and fell down the building.

Some of her conscience returned to let her realize she was falling. Galaxy was too weak to take the collision head on, but all her muscles couldn't move to help. No one was around to give an assist and none of her powers can help her "bounce off" of the ground.
Except one.
Fearing for a waste of power, she waited for the right moment. Sailor Galaxy was only ten feet away from becoming a pancake when she held out her hands in front.

Galaxy "Hnh!!"

BAM!!
The concrete shifted as the clear shield was forced to become solid. Galaxy's arms struggled to hold it up, but the creation of the shield took up much of her power. It eventually faded away as she collapsed in the rubble, gasping with fatigue.

"Sailor Galaxy!!"

She opened one of her eyes to see Sailor Moon, RiRi, and the Starlights run up to her with worried faces. Galaxy lightly smiled to hide the scars as they approached her.

Galaxy "...Hey..."

Maker "What happened!?"

Fighter went behind her and rested Galaxy's shoulders on her lap. It was painful, but she felt better once she was in a better position.

Galaxy "...Saturn and Pluto...were killed by Uranus and Neptune. They were controlled by Galaxia..."

Sailor Star Healer bent down and laid a hand above Galaxy. Light consumed her hand as the wounds began to feel only a little better. Some scars were left behind.

Galaxy "They turned on me...had no choice but to take them out."

After the wounds replenished, Fighter swung Galaxy's arm around her neck and hoisted her up. Sailor Moon's mournful eyes scared Sailor Galaxy, but she did what she had to do. It hurt her too, killing the person she mostly admired as a rival, but it had to be done.

Moon "All that's left is Galaxia. Come on, it's a long way up."

Fighter helped Galaxy for a while, until Galaxy gave her the word it was okay. They made their way back into the studio, aware that the biggest fight was yet to come.

Sailor Galaxy knew there was a slight chance for her return to Aoshi. She may never see him again...but her mind was set on saving the world once more, even if it costed her life. Preparing to fight Galaxia, she reminisced about the recurring name in her head. Everything would snap together once she meets her.

Boo-hoo...they died. The next episode's gonna show something big, and it's one way I completely twisted the plot. It might be dumb, but whatever.

Next time on Sailor Galaxy Chronicles:

Galaxy "Lady Galaxia!!!"

Galaxia "You're as thick-headed as ever."

Moon "You have no right!"

Healer "Stop!!"

"AOSHI!!"

Guess who dies...
