Point F: Tension and Heart

Galaxia... Why did that name sound so familiar? I wasn't getting a good feeling in the presence of her. It was as if something was telling me to stay away from this person, but they seemed to have just helped me. If it wasn't for her interference Maker's attack would have hit me. I mentally cursed to myself wishing she didn't show up.

"What are you doing?" I clenched my fists turning to her.

"Your reluctance to attack nearly cost you. You should be thanking me."

"Thanking you?? I--" I went to defy her but a sudden pain struck inside of my head. "Yes... I should..." My voice was suddenly calm as I involuntarily bowed my head to her. I fought with all of my strength and managed to snap myself out of it for a moment. "--No! I don't want to fight!" The pain in my head grew stronger as I took both hands and clenched them at either side of my head. My figure quickly dropped to the one knee. I winced in pain as this force inside of me was quickly gaining control over my being again.

The woman held out a hand to my figure as an invisible force shot out at me. I felt my body slide against the floor as I let out a yell.

"STAR SENSITIVE INFERNO!" Healer's voice broke in suddenly as she released her power towards Galaxia.

The woman evaded the attack with ease, almost unnaturally. I had never seen such ability nor strength before. It was unsettling.

"Listen!" The woman stood commanding as she now faced my comrades. "While you two still possess your Sailor Crystals," She pointed a finger at me. "This one has already lost their shine to me!"

She crossed both hands in front of her as golden energy began to form around them. "GALACTICA SUPER STRING!" She shot her hands forward as a stream of energy shot towards both Healer and Maker's forms. The energy circled around their backside. There was a ring of lose energy around the two before she clenched her hands into fists. At that moment she proceeded to pull her hands to her shoulders as the energy then constricted, binding their arms at their sides. Energy pulsated around their forms as they each let out a yell.

I wanted to go to them. I wanted to make her stop but I couldn't make my body move. My figure stayed to the ground barely rising to one knee as I watched helplessly.

"You can continue to fight and die in vain, or you can join your fellow Starlight. The choice is yours." Her gaze was cold and emotionless.

"You must be joking!" The sound of Healer shouted to her. She stood defiantly despite the situation. "We would never join with you!"

"Heh, wrong answer, Starlight." It was almost as if she knew exactly what their reply was going to be. The energy began to intensify as their screams became louder.

"Stop this!" My voice finally broke through in a yell. I couldn't stand seeing them like this. Within seconds the energy simply vanished along with their figures.

She paced in front of my figure proceeding to lift a hand into the air. As she did so my body began to rise into the air as I felt this invisible force grip against my neck. I brought up my hands to my neck as I felt the grasp get tighter.

"Your failure of compliance is unsettling, Starlight. If you wish to see your fellow Starlights again, you will bring me Princess Kakyuu immediately. Do you understand?" She was not pleased but her tone was nothing short of lacking emotion. It was cold and without remorse as she simply stood dead staring me as I struggled to keep from choking.

"...It would help... If I actually... knew... where she was." I struggled to speak through the compression of my larynx.

"Figure it out." Her tone was no different as she dropped her arm down to her side.

My body was released from whatever force grasped around my neck. I fell to the ground gasping for air. Moments later her figure vanished without further discussion. Now that Healer and Maker were gone, I didn't know what to do. I knew one thing without a doubt, and that was this Galaxia was capable of damn near anything. Such power, such strength...

'While you two still possess your Sailor Crystals, this one has already lost their shine to me!'

The shine of another human being had gone out... Those words lingered inside my mind. I wasn't sure where they came from but it all felt all too familiar. While I was not human my eyes widen as I begin to slowly realize what had happened.

Was I dead then? That couldn't be the case because... I was still here. The pain still felt real and my emotions were stronger than ever. But why did I feel so empty inside? That woman, Galaxia, had taken something from me and now I was left to wander alone with one purpose. Find the Princess. Even though I didn't fully understand what was going on, I knew if only one purpose left to go on, the Princess would know what to do. While Galaxia wanted me to bring her to her, I had a different point of view. I would find the Princess, but not for her purposes. I would find her for my own purposes.

I made my way back into the complex traveling down the flight of steps into the furnished space below. Everything was in it's place. I clenched a fist knowing that it was my fault that Healer and Maker were gone. I made my way to the door to open it and went to step outside. It was then a strong scent caught my attention. A familiar scent...

It was coming from inside the room. My figure drifted from the door proceeding to follow where the scent was coming from. As I got further into the room the scent became stronger. I made my way to another door inside the loft-like quarters and stood looking to it for a moment. The scent was stronger than ever. I lifted a hand to open the door and to my surprise there lay an incense burner, but not just any incense burner.

I narrowed my eyes having this strong familiar feeling inside. I look around and see a figure laying on the floor. Several red butterflies surround her figure and I immediately recognize who it is.

"P-Princess!" My eyes widen as I stand in shock at the sight of her. Healer and Maker had found her, and they were holding out on me. All this time she was with them...

Her figure began to stir slightly. "Healer... Maker..." Her voice was weak as she began to weakly lift her head from the floor.

"Princess..." I trailed. My eyes suddenly narrow as the bracelets on my wrists begin to glow.

She looked up at me and concern immediately filled her eyes. "Fighter!" Her tone was surprised.

"I..." I began with my own train of thought but something else intervened again. It was the same force that intervened during my initial encounter with Healer and Maker. "Yes, it's me, Princess. I'm here to take you home now."

"Home?" Her voice weakly replied.

I didn't respond.

"Where... Where is Healer and Maker...?"

"They're waiting outside for us."

"But..." She winced slightly as she forced herself to her knees.

"It's a shame it had to end this way..." My hand clenched as energy began to crackle around my bracelet. I raised the ornament into the air as my eyes narrowed. I wanted to bad to fight as hard as I could but something stronger was controlling my every move. The energy around the bracelet traveled into my hand as it released forward.

"FIGHTER DON'T!" A sudden voice from behind shouted to me.

A sudden figure leaped between myself and the Princess as they took the full blow of the attack. My eyes widen in surprise as the body fell to the ground before me. I recognized the figure as being the girl from earlier. How did she--I narrowed my eyes. She must have followed us here and got in through the door I had left open.

"What are you doing!" I began to shout to her. "This isn't about you! You should leave now!" My hands clenched into fists.

The girl brought herself to one knee as she grasped something in her hand. "No! I won't let you do this, Fighter!"

"Idiot! Leave now!"

She held up her hand with the object as a brilliant crystal shone inside. "MOON ETERNAL MAKEUP!" An elaborate display of energy shone before me and when it was over a new figure stood between myself and the Princess.

The form of a Sailor Soldier stood elegantly with wings coming out of the backside of her uniform. She was a Sailor Soldier??

The room began to darken as a powerful energy surrounded us. Things began to shift and distort as space and time seemed absent at the moment. When it subsided the surroundings changed to massive structures and archways. It was like some sort of palace. It seemed vaguely familiar but where was this image from?

Sailor Moon stayed close to the Princess kneeling beside her. I on the other hand narrowed my eyes and beginning to scan the place.

"Welcome Starlight."

I whirled around to see none other than Galaxia standing next to a massive throne.

"I'd like to thank you for going through the trouble to bring me both Kakyuu and Sailor Moon." She smirked insincerely.

If I wasn't confused before, I was confused now. Before I could say or do anything a sharp pain surged through my chest again forcing my figure to my knees.

"Galaxia!" I heard the voice of the Princess call out.

"Galaxia?" Sailor Moon's voice followed in question.

With a wave of her hand an invisible wall appears to rotate revealing the figures of Healer and Maker. Their bodies collapse to the floor nearly drained of all their energy.

"Healer! Maker!" Kakyuu tried to bring herself to a stand to go to them but shortly fell to one knee. Sailor Moon caught her looking to the two then to Galaxia in utter shock.

"Do you know why I brought you here, Kakyuu?" The woman held an air of confidence as she stood practically mocking her.

"Galaxia... Release them at once!" The Princess glared to Galaxia leaning on Sailor Moon for support. I didn't understand why she was so weak.

"You are in no position to be giving me orders. Behold as your precious Starlights fight amongst one another and this one takes their shine!"

My eyes harden as I feel the muscles in my body tense up. My mind was racing but my body stood calm. It was so strange having such a conflicting feeling amongst myself. I turn to my fellow comrades as I watch internally helpless to do anything against the will of a stronger power inside of me.

"Fighter! Don't!" Sailor Moon's voice intervened.

I heard her plea but my body failed to respond. I held up my wrists showing off the golden shackles upon them. They began to pulsate as a strong golden light began to form around them.

"Fighter!" The sound of the Princess called in vain.

My wrists went to move together but something went wrong. The form of Sailor Moon had lunged at me successfully tackling me to the ground. The bracelets hit but the aim was off terribly missing their forms completely.

"Hmpth! So you wish to interfere?" Galaxia held up her wrists as golden energy shot from each bracelet she wore.

The energy crashed into the bodies of Healer and Maker as they let out screams of pain. Their bodies ripped apart as their former selves were nothing more than dust in the wind. All that was left were two brilliant shining crystals that hovered in place where their chests used to be. The crystals floated up before disappearing completely.

"NO!!" Kakyuu's screams were shrill as she fell to the floor.

Sailor Moon beheld a look of pure horror as she had my figure pinned. I extended a hand to forcefully shove her off of me as I felt my eyes grow cold. The other being inside of me was once again manifesting as I became a bystander in my own demise.

"Now, for your final mission, take the shine of Princess Kakyuu!" Galaxia stood confident and her voice was commanding.

"Fighter! No!" Sailor Moon's voice called out to me.

My figure turned to face the Princess loosing much of my expression. I felt so cold and devoid of everything. I held out my wrists as the bracelets began to glow.

"STARLIGHT HONEYMOON THERAPY KISS!"

A sudden surge of light swept over my body as I felt my figure collapse to the floor.

"Fighter... I'll turn you back..." Her voice trailed as she stood with a look of determination.

Galaxia let out a scoff. "Your efforts are in vain, Sailor Moon!"

My mind began to become flooded with light and several images began to fill my mind. I collapsed to one knee shortly looking up to the two. An intense feeling comes over me and what was once unclear was as clear as day now. I began to remember.

I stood up again with an intense look upon my face. I looked to the two, then eyed Princess Kakyuu especially. I narrowed my eyes as I clenched the Star Yell in my hand. I brought up my wrists again. Golden energy began pulsating around them as I felt an intense energy course through my body. As it peaked I acted as if I was going to strike at her, but at the last second turned around to release the energy towards Galaxia.

"STAR SERIOUS LASER!"

This is my last sparkle...

I forcefully release everything I have left to strike her. I could see a look of surprise as the attack hit her dead on. She didn't have enough time to react as her figure was blasted dead in the chest. She let out a yell before falling to her knees.

My figure collapsed to the floor and I feel the bracelets shatter into nothing.

"Fighter!" The figure of Sailor Moon ran to my side.

"I'm sorry for everything... Princess... Please protect the princess in my place... Odango... atama..."

In the end, Galaxia couldn't control me like she thought she could. I wish things could have turned out differently... but from now on... I will be watching you from the stars. Someday, I hope we are all reborn again. To see you one last time...

The last of my conscious gave out as I felt my body disappear.
