Darkness completely surrounded me now, and I was alone.
"Fight me, coward!" I called out into the nothingness. I was in the core of chaos I could feel it. "Still trying to play games? It won't work!"
Then an image of my mother and father appeared before me. They were glaring at me.
"We never wanted you. You've been such a pain to bring up. Always whining, always crying. What a waste." My mother cackled.
"If we didn't have you, we could be alone together all the time," My father said, kissing my mother's cheek seductively.
"Stop it! Those aren't my parents!" I barked. The images changed into my guardians, all laughing.
"Why did we bother protecting this idiot?" PallaPalla said.
"Even Nehellenia was better than her," VesVes said,. And they all cheered.
"Damnit, Chaos! STOP PLAYING!" I was growing angrier by the second. The image shifted again to Helios, looking disgusted.
"You're nothing like I wanted. Can't even handle being a proper princess. You're not even built like a woman. Still just a child to me. You're repulsive." His words hurt me the most. I shivered slightly. But then I shook my head. This wasn't real.
"No. You're not Helios. Helios, my friends, everyone…they all believe in me and my power. I am exactly who I want to be, and I'm going to defeat you once and for all!" I shrieked into the air, swinging my scepter around me like it was a baton.
"Crescent Spiral Mist!" Silver mist filled the emptiness surrounding me. Deep laugher vibrated through my body and I cringed.
"You will not win. I'm going to rule this universe." Everything rumbled as Chaos spoke. I took to the air and my wings cut through my mist.
"Stop hiding and fight me!" I demanded. As the mist receded below me, I saw Ilias glaring up at me.
"Which form should I be when killing you? Hmm?" he asked, before morphing into my childhood friend Hotaru. "Will this work?" She asked with a wicked grin. It reminded me of when Hotaru was possessed by Mistress 9. I stayed in the air, frozen as I watched Hotaru morph into Sailor Pluto. "Would this be better?" She said, rubbing a gloved finger along her chin in tempted thought. My lips became dry. Then her body changed into that of Prince Diamond. I gasped slightly. "Remember me? It's been a while, Small Lady." His voice haunted me. The black flipped over crescent made me shudder at the horrible memories of my childhood when the black moon tried to kidnap me. But yet again, his body shifted into that of a younger form of my father, as Tuxedo Kamen. A red rose glimmered in his fingers. "Would a loved one be easier to see before you die?" I shuddered. "How about…" Then Tuxedo Kamen turned into Sailor Moon. The wild blonde hair floated slightly behind her waist and she grinned at me. "…this? Being killed by your own mother may be fun."
"No…" I uttered, breathless. Sailor Moon leapt into the air, swinging at me with her claw-like arms. I flew backwards and downwards as the clone of my mother followed me in evil laughter. My boots skid against the darkness and I began to run, trying to think of what to do. I knew it wasn't my mom. But the idea of harming even her image scared me.
"Oh come now, ChibiUsa! Let's play!" Sailor Moon squealed and I glanced behind my shoulder to see a golden tiara flinging towards me. I ducked to my knees and rolled onto my side. Gaining composure, I turned t see Sailor Moon holding herself in laughter. "You really are pathetic. You're almost boring me." I got to my feet and felt everyone's power, and my own, flowing through my veins. I would not fail. Sailor Moon glared at me, waiting for me to strike. With a flick of my wrist, I shoved my staff ahead of me and charged her. I saw her grin twitch as I approached, and her hands grabbed my staff and flung me across the area. A loud bang went off as my head hit a wall-like structure; my body sliding down to the dark floor-like substance. My vision blurred and I felt tremors of pain around my eyes. Stinging pain came from my wings; I figured that they must be bleeding now. I held my head and turned to see Sailor Moon inspecting the staff. "What a silly little weapon," she said and took it in her hands, snapping it in half. My mouth fell wide open as the staff shattered into the darkness. She wiped her hands; her blue eyes boring into me, making me feel sick. "I'm really getting bored now," she said and her body morphed into Helios. I actually saw three of him before me, and I felt dizzy as I tried to get up.
'I… won't let you trick me, Chaos." I said. "I'm tired of your mind games."
"Oh, these aren't mind games, Maiden," Helio's voice dared me. "These are the simple truths about you and I. As much as everyone wants to believe that we have to coexist, we all know that one day, one will crumble the other," Helios walked over to me slowly, and I held the sides of my head to try and refocus my sight. "And today, I will crumble your pretty little light. And all will finally succumb to darkness." His voice ripped through my heart as he drew closer. The three of him turned into two, then one. I took in a deep breath before realizing he was merely inches from me. "What are you going to do, Maiden? Are you going to kill your precious Helios?" he whispered to me, reaching over to my face with a hand. His fingers grazed against my skin, and I felt a complete lack of warmth from them. As his golden eyes burned into mine, he took my face into his hand. He felt like stone. "Will you dare to hurt me?"
You're not Helios…I thought, struggling to keep focused. You may look like him, but you don't have his heart, his warmth, his soul! I let him get so close that it seemed as though he was going to kiss me.
"I'm not falling for the same trick twice, sorry." I whispered to him. His eyes widened as he pulled back an inch.
"What?" He sounded surprised. I shot him a small smile.
"Eternal Moon Crystal Power!" I called out. My body exploded with pink energy, cutting through Helios. He screamed in agony as the beams of light sliced through the darkness surrounding me. I'm doing it, everyone! My mind cried as my wings extended behind me and my outfit melted into my princess gown. I won't let anyone down again!
"No! This can't be happening! I'm stronger than you!" I heard Chaos protest in pain as I flew out of the shredding darkness. I felt as strong as a thousand people as I dashed through the air. I turned my body around to see what was happening. The energy around me engulfed the black shreds, eating them away. What was left of Helios began to melt away like acid.
"Nothing is stronger than the power of love," I said to Chaos. "That is the light that will protect everyone from your darkness!" I held out my arms and my crystal appeared, sparkling like a prism. "Crystal, please grant me the power I need to defeat this evil!" I pleaded, feeling the immense power of it in my palms. The light around it grew brighter, almost blinding. It shot out of my crystal and surrounded Chaos. Its screams of agony became muffled as it was encased in the pink energy. Then, suddenly I felt extremely weak, and I was falling. I felt my crystal break in my palms and I gasped for air, falling at an incredible speed. Then everything went black.
