My Very Own Destiny

Sailor Violin

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Sailor Moon.

Chapter 7

A few weeks had past since Aida's crowning, things didn't change too much for Usagi. She had become an apprentice to Kakyuu in many ways. She attended formal meetings with Kakyuu on an almost daily basis. She wasn't an active participant in any voting but she had an opinion.. Outside of the political realm, everyone still called her Usagi. She received a special royal dress similar to Kakyuu's yet much simpler. She had a white bodice with a navy blue neck line, aqua bells drifting into white hanging sleeves, accompanied with a matching navy blue skirt.

Usagi didn't mind the extra duties too much; though they were not all too appealing. She had more limited time with Seiya since the Starlights had begun training again. Kakyuu found it best to always be prepared in any case. Usagi and Kakyuu were enjoying a small lunch in the dining hall one day when Kakyuu proceeded to talk to Usagi about an important topic.

"Usagi, I would like you to consider training with the Starlights as well. You are an excellent senshi, one of the best. I believe your powers will greatly benefit our kingdom. Usagi what do you say?" Kakyuu inquired to the quizzical looking princess.

"I don't think I can anymore..." Usagi said somberly. "I can't become Sailor Moon...the legacy of legendary senshi pretty senshi soldier Sailor Moon is over." Usagi trailed off as she pulled the silver crystal out from within her bodice and started examining it somberly.

"Then start a new legacy." Kakyuu said placing a hand on Usagi's. Usagi looked up and glanced at a circular brooch with an empty space in the shape of a crystalline star. (A/N: it looks like a pure heart when extracted from a human.) "Become Sailor Cosmos, Usagi."

"Sailor...Cosmos...?" Usagi questioned taking the brooch in her hands. "You mean...I am...the Light of Hope?" Usagi asked stunned.

"Yes, that is your true destiny Usagi." Kakyuu affirmed. "If you choose to accept it..."

"So I can be a senshi again?" Usagi asked hopefully.

"Once a sailor senshi, always a sailor senshi; something's never really change." Kakyuu said reassuringly as the silver crystal metamorphosed into a pure heart crystal and cast itself within the brooch. Then a circle of silver light circled the brooch making it complete. "Now shout Cosmos Eternal Make up!" Usagi nodded in understanding as she raised the brooch in the air.

"COSMOS ETERNAL MAKE-UP!!" Usagi called out. The room filled with silver light as the princess transformed into the ultimate senshi. Usagi could feel the warmth and power surging through her as she opened her eyes, eyeing her new look complete with wings. "Sailor senshi once again!" Usagi hollered in excitement giving a senshi pose.

"Sailor Cosmos, Usagi; please take your staff and join the others in training." Princess Kakyuu kindly ordered as a large staff appeared in front of Sailor Cosmos. Usagi took it and bowed to her princess.

"Thank you for this honor, Princess Kakyuu. I promise to do my duty and protect our kingdom." Usagi said courteously and exited the castle running toward the training fields. She spotted three figures up ahead and decided it was time to test her new powers out.

And I left everyone on a small cliffy to see just how Cosmos plans to test these new powers of hers out. Just FYI, this fic is very AU. I base Sailor Cosmos in the way that she is the Sailor Moon of the future. I doubled checked with how Naoko Takeuchi perceived Sailor Cosmos and that was what I gathered and so that is Sailor Moon's ultimate form. Please review! I always appreciate feedback! Sailor Violin
