All right...final chapter. I finally finished it last night and i actually completed a fanfiction. Took me more than half a year. Thank you for reading my story, although I know it's really crummy. I wanna especially thank:
cute.sadistic.chibi
Marvel Maiden
Sparkling Moon Phoenix
For reading my story and inspiring me to write. It was sad to complete part 1, but now I feel relieved. Here it is!!
Hope
Galaxia "Impossible!! Saving different lives won't make up for the loved ones you lost!"
Serenity "True...they cannot be replaced...but, their brave and final acts will not be wasted. Those scouts that protected me wanted to not destroy you, but to help you!"
Galaxia "Enough!!"
Wind blew all around and Serenity was knocked into the sky. Galaxia quickly followed her in the air and tried to attack, but the Silver Crystal shimmered and flashed, blinding her. Serenity looked at Galaxia and gave no sense of despair or hatred, only hope and optimism.
Serenity "Why must we fight? It doesn't solve anything except who's physically stronger. But that's not what's important. This world is filled with individuals that aren't as strong as you."
Galaxia smirked and had to agree. To her, the world was full of simpletons and cowards.
Galaxia "Then you should be glad I'm ridding the world of scum!
Serenity "No! Just because they're weak doesn't mean their worthless. Even though my friends and loved ones aren't here, I'm glad to have met them all."
Galaxia "Why bother meeting people who are eventually taken away!? Your pathetic friends are gone forever!!"
Energy was aimed at Serenity and detonated within contact. She reeled back and cringed. Galaxia chuckled as she finally broke her confidence.
Or so she thought.
Serenity "They...are not gone...and I'm not alone..."
Serenity looked at Galaxia with soft sensitive eyes, eyes that struck deep within and awakened a secret light.
Serenity "My friends gave their lives so that I could survive and protect this world. But even though they can't be seen, they're always with me! They stand by my side so I won't be alone!!"
Galaxia "Shut up!!"
As Galaxia tried to break the hope with force, Serenity soared towards her to retrieve her from the darkness.
Galaxia "Quit being stubborn and accept the goddamn truth! They've abandoned you, you're too weak and this world will perish!! Accept it!! ACCEPT IT!!!"
Galaxy "NO!!"
Galaxia looked down at Sailor Galaxy and the Starlights. She struggled to sit up and stare at her predecessor straight in the eye.
Galaxy "She's not alone! We're here for her 24-7, no matter what happens. Serenity will light up this world from Chaos's hold on Galaxia. You hear that, Chaos!?"
Galaxia stared agitated at the solar scout. The words hammered her conscience and the light within grew brighter.
Galaxy "WE'LL SAVE THIS WORLD AND LADY GALAXIA!!"
Suddenly, Take no Yasukunazuchi shattered to pieces as Galaxia's mouth gaped. The light in her increased and tried to break free while watching Serenity fly closer.
Serenity "I'll light up and protect this world...that everyone loves!! There's a beautiful light of hope within you, Galaxia, just like everyone else. I'll protect these lights!!"
Galaxia's arm began to move against her will. Her mind was being denied by the body...as a voice deep inside finally spoke.
"There is hope..."
Galaxia froze in place terrified. The calm entity filled with pure ambition inside her...was her old self. The side of Galaxia that longed to be free of Chaos and guilt. The desire amplified as Serenity was nearing.
"I can see it now, Serenity..."
The numerous starseeds that were plundered glowed with hope and beauty to be returned home. Galaxia' arm reached out for Serenity's as she took the hand for salvation.
"Your warm light."
Time seemed to be at a standstill as rays of light came from Galaxia's body. Cracks appeared around her armor when her eyes widened from shock. She let out a distorted scream once the armor broke free to reveal healthy pale skin and an orange cascade of hair down her back. The epidermis was exposed as a black cloud was expelled from her body and vanished into the sky.
Fighter "Galaxia..."
Healer "Chaos is gone..."
Sailor Galaxy slowly got to her feet, despite how banged up she was. She looked towards Galaxia and reminisced on how her true form really was. Tears welled in her eyes as she smiled.
Galaxy "Lady Galaxia..."
Galaxia looked down at the solar scout and the Starlights. She recognized her young successor and smiled.
Galaxia "Sailor Meteor..."
She gasped at the realization. Galaxia chuckled and gave an apologetic grin.
Galaxia "Pardon me. I mean...Sailor Galaxy."
It was official. Sailor Galaxy did continue Galaxia's assignment and rightfully earned the title of solar scout. Using her powers, Galaxia helped her float into the sky and hover next to Serenity.
Galaxia "Thank you for releasing me. I've been under the subjection of Chaos for too long. The great damages I've done..."
Serenity "It's not too late. You can return the starseeds to their homes."
Galaxy "Chaos is still out there, in people's hearts. But as long as there's also hope, we won't see it for a long time."
Serenity "The damage can be balanced...by the good deeds you'll do. You can guide them back to their worlds!"
Galaxia felt relieved; she was forgiven for her sinful acts by such kind people. Her visage revealed a beautiful smile of gratitude for the girls.
Galaxia "Thank you."
"So, you're not a rookie anymore."
Two transparencies appeared next to Galaxia. One had short pink hair while the other had wavy black hair. Sailor Galaxy stared amazed at the vision of Sailor Asteroid and Comet.
Comet "You've proven yourself, Sailor Meteor."
Asteroid "We're proud of you."
Galaxy "Comet...Asteroid..."
The tears of joy came up again as she watched her old comrades smile. Galaxy was grateful of fighting with them as a sailor chaser.
Galaxia "We'll be watching over you."
Sailor Galaxy nodded.
A pink light floated out of the Silver Crystal and took the form of a young girl. Her red hair had light curls that went well with her blue eyes.
Serenity "RiRi."
Galaxia "Ah, there you are."
RiRi turned to Galaxia and smiled. She rushed into her arms and giggled happily. Her starseed was returned.
Galaxia "Let's go."
The little girl nodded. The four of them ginned happily at Serenity and Sailor galaxy before disappearing in a beam of light. It shot into the clear blue sky, followed by the endless amount of starseeds waiting to be returned home.
Serenity "There they go."
Galaxy turned her head towards the princess. Despite the proud accomplishment, there was an obvious hint of mourning in her eyes.
Galaxy "You don't have to be strong for everyone. The scouts wouldn't want you to struggle."
Serenity "Yeah, but...now we're alone."
"You're never alone."
They gasped with shock. The voice sounded so familiar...Sailor Mercury...?
Eight starseeds glowed brightly around them and began to take form. Each of them wore gloves, skirts, tiaras, and a sailor suit. Sailor Moon and Galaxy watched with joy and happiness as the sailor scouts returned to the way they were.
Mars "Haven't you learned yet?"
Venus "You'll never be alone."
Jupiter "We're always with you."
Uranus "Sorry for betraying you earlier."
Neptune "We'll make it up to you for the rest of our lives."
Pluto "You stayed strong till the very end."
Saturn "Thank you, Serena...Anna."
Sailor Galaxy chuckled as her eyes overflowed again.
Galaxy "You guys...you're such jerks, not calling when trouble was around."
Mercury "Oh...sorry."
"Ah...so you did live."
The voice grasped Sailor Galaxy's attention before she looked beside her. She saw the ice blue eyes and dark hair along with a remarkable visage that she adored.
Aoshi "And here I thought you wouldn't fulfill my wish."
Galaxy "Aoshi!!"
She quickly fastened her arms around his waist and held Aoshi close. Sailor Galaxy began to tremble as she thought if it was a dream. The water streamed down her cheeks when she realized it was all real.
Galaxy "I did...terrible things...against your..."
But Aoshi simply wrapped his arms around her and held Sailor Galaxy tight.
Aoshi "It's all right. You're alive; that's what matters."
Serenity was relieved that he was unharmed. At a glance, it seemed like everything was normal...except that she was forgetting someone. The one person that mattered the most to Serenity was...
"Serena."
Upon hearing the final voice, she wheeled around and found a starseed: a golden one. It began to take form in the shape of a tall man. In a flash, he appeared in his royal armor and a smile was on his face.
Darien "You did a great job."
Serenity "Darien..."
Sailor Galaxy smiled widely. Serenity rushed into his arms and stayed very close to Darien. He wrapped his arms around her to try and console her joyful tears.
Darien "We're proud of you...Serena. No more tears, all right?"
Serenity nodded. But despite how strong she could be, the moon princess always had a soft spot for her friends. And it was nothing to be afraid of; the close relationships she has would be her strengths rather than weaknesses.
Down on ground level, the Starlights sighed with relief as they looked up at the united team.
Healer "They look okay."
Fighter "The future's in good hands."
Maker "They'll make it."
"True, but I'm not sure if you three will make it."
From behind, a final starseed took the form of a young woman. Her magnificent dress was colored in yellow and red to match her brown eyes. The red hair was in a similar hairstyle to Serenity's except for the loops instead of meatballs.
Starlights "Princess Kakyu!!"
Their princess from Kinmoku has returned after receiving a devastating fate. Their eyes began to shed drops of water before exhaling with happiness.
Maker "Thank goodness!"
Healer "You're back."
Sailor Star Fighter looked back at the team and smiled.
Fighter (Thank you, scouts. We owe you big time.)
The sun began to set and cat an orange cover above Crossroads High School. With the sensation of victory once again, the girls were able to relax as they bid farewell to close allies and friends.
Kakyu "Thank you for all the help. We've troubled you so much."
Serena "Oh, no trouble at all. I'm glad to have met you and the Starlights."
Mina "You guys are great."
Raye "We'll never forget you."
Amy "We hope to see ach other again."
Lita "Have a safe trip."
Anna "Thanks...for everything."
Taiki "This may not be a permanent goodbye."
The team listened closely as the hard departure became softer.
Seiya "We may never meet again, but we'll never forget each other."
Yaten "No matter where we are, our hearts will bring us together again."
Darien nodded.
Darien "That's right."
Aoshi "So it's not a goodbye. More like a 'see you later'."
Kakyu "Yes. Well, we must be going. Thank you, all."
In a flash of light, Princess Kakyu and the Starlights disappeared and shot through the dim sky. they left behind a flaring stream of energy as they traveled past Tokyo.
Serena (Thank you...Seiya.)
Anna "Well..."
The team turned towards Anna and Aoshi with calm faces.
Anna "We gotta go home. Gonna go...prepare."
Darien "Prepare...? For what?"
Anna "The wedding. It's gonna be in a few years, right?"
Wedding!? What wedding could be within only a mere amount of years...?
Amy "Darien and Serena..."
Serena "That's right! We're eventually gonna marry in the future."
Anna "Bingo. But it's gonna take a while, so we're gonna go back before Aoshi and I permanently stay here."
The girls and Darien were depressed that they had to leave again, but they all knew it was for the best. It as like the Starlights said: their hearts would bring them together again. They accepted the terms and anticipated for the nearby future.
Anna and Aoshi gave farewell wishes to all of them and wished for a safe future.
Lita "See you soon."
Raye "The dojo will be waiting for you."
Mina "Best of luck."
They nodded at the team. Anna and Aoshi slowly backed away before she held out a palm and opened a dark portal. At first, she didn't want to step through and leave behind the wonderful friends she made. But a reassuring look from Aoshi told her that it wasn't the end; it was the beginning. the real adventure would start in the far future, where their destinies waited.
Before they set their destination to their own dimension, Anna looked to the side towards the parking lot. A red car was parked with four individuals searching the skies. She immediately recognized them and smiled before changing her destination.
Hotaru "Wow, look!"
Amara, Michelle, and Trista followed her direction and saw the floating stream of energy ripping the skies.
Amara "Well, there go the Starlights."
Michelle "We truly have a lot to thank them for."
Trista "Seeing them take off, I wonder what happened to Anna and Aoshi."
"They had to see some friends before finally leaving."
The Outer Senshi turned their heads and saw the two of them standing with smiles.
Hotaru "Anna!"
She ran up to the mid-teen and embraced her with a loving hug. No matter how serious she was as Sailor Saturn, Hotaru was still a little kid having an average life.
Trista "So this is a goodbye..."
Anna "For now."
Trista nodded. Anna hugged her as an admirer would thank a peer.
Michelle "We'll miss you every day."
Amara "And about our duel..."
But Anna simply raised a hand and shook her head.
Anna "It's all right. We'll just call it a draw and continue on with our lives. Deal?"
Amara till felt guilty about her actions under Galaxia's control. To promise an oath to Serenity and then break it...she and Michelle had every right to be gloomy. But the royal court was too kind to brand them as traitors.
She nodded to Anna.
Amara "Deal."
They shook hands firmly to seal the promise. Anna felt more comfortable having an ally more than a rival.
She gave a final embrace to Michelle and returned to Aoshi's side.
Anna "See ya."
They walked through the portal again; this time, it was set back to their own dimension. As the couple walked away, Amara watched Anna's back: the back of the one person she admired the most. looking back at everything they've been through, she finally believed that Anna Onodera was stronger.
Amara "...I lost."
Michelle looked at her questioningly.
Michelle "Lost...? At what?"
Amara "Oh, uh...nothing."
She began to walk to the driver's side of the car when she gave a faint chuckle.
Back in her room, she read a manga volume before Anna heard a light tapping at her window. She looked outside and saw the illuminated form of Aoshi from her lamplight. Giving a happy grin, she closed the book and went to open her window.
Anna "Hey."
She hopped out onto the roof and sat next to him in the darkness.
They looked up into the night sky and sat surprisingly close. But neither of them gave a single hint of blushing.
Anna "Getting any weird vibes from the planets?"
Aoshi "No. Everything's calm...soothing. Moon's shining bright, too."
Her blithe expression turned quite stern as Anna faced him.
Anna "You had me worried back there. I thought I lost you...forever."
Aoshi "I was just trying to keep my promise to protect you."
Anna "...And you did. Now I'm gonna make a promise to you, Aoshi."
He turned and saw her perfect blue eyes with a deep feeling within them. He couldn't help but fall for her again and wished for Anna to be his alone.
Aoshi "I love you...Anna."
Anna "I love you too, Aoshi. So much, I can't stand it. But I can't even make a promise to you. So here I go: I'm gonna do everything I can to make it up to you...starting now."
With him sitting with his legs bent and apart, Anna moved between Aoshi's legs and sat down. She leaned in so close that they could feel each other's breaths. Aoshi knew what was happening, but slightly leaned back to prevent any unnecessary advances. Still, he knew how he felt for her and proved it by giving Anna her first kiss earlier. Aoshi wouldn't want her to think she owed him back. But he didn't want to deny Anna either.
Aoshi gave in to his hormones and wrapped his arms around Anna's slender form. She placed her hands on his chest before covering his lips with hers, evolving to their second kiss. The first one was instigated by a devastating crisis, but now it was fully based on their feelings for each other.
Anna couldn't believe it. After two years of fighting against negative forces, she finally felt at peace. The world continued to orbit, the people continued to live, and Serena continued being the one named Sailor Moon. But they knew it was soon to end, for later on, she would go on to being Neo-Queen Serenity. And she, along with the sailor scout, would be there to protect the queen. Before she would do that, Anna would make sure Aoshi was there with her all the way.
Thank you for reading my fanfic. Look out for part 2 or Primal Forces. I'm gonna take a break from but I'll be back in time. See ya!!
