A/N: Sorry for the Hiatus, but things on my end are still rather stressful so those issues had to take take priority. But anyway here is the next installment and I hope you enjoy.
Now I must point out that I want to wrap up this story as soon as possible so I could not only focus on my other SM crossover. But I also want to start writing a new fic based on another Anime I discovered last year, some of you may even know what I am talking about.
And special thanks to missmeow1968 for emailing me, and wanting to know if I was still alive. It is nice knowing that I have someone so eager to see a update. Now on to the story...

( Bloody Galaxy )
"Shouldn't we have reached the top by now?" Uranus asked curiously, breaking the uneasy silence which had flooded the elevator car. "Did it always take this long?"
"Something is not right." Nyanko replied, "It never took this long to... unless..."
"Unless what?" Neptune asked, a small sense of dread starting to creep up on her,
"Oh no... WE HAVE TO GET OU-" That was all Nyanko was able to get out, before there was a loud explosion and the elevator began to shake violently. Knocking everyone down, as another ball of golden energy shot out of the darkness and struck the generator with controlled the elevator car. The resulting explosion causing the cables to break and send the car plummeting downwards.
Uranus, Neptune and Nyanko were complete helpless as this point, as they soon found themselves pinned to the elevator ceiling as it fell. The G-forces keeping them in place, as the car continued to fall. But just as suddenly as the attack began, it ended as the trio came crashing down when the emergency breaks activated and stopped the car from falling. All be it violently
"Uhhhh..." Uranus groaned, as she picked herself up from the now slanted floor. The elevator interior was now bathed with red, as the emergency lighting came on and Uranus could see both her lover and Nyanko laying motionless on the ground. A overwhelming sense of dread suddenly came over the tall blond, as she saw Neptune laying before her. But that dread soon turned to rage as Nyanko began to stir and pick herself up. But she didn't get the chance.
As almost Immediately, Uranus grabbed the injured woman and slammed her against the metallic wall.
"What did you DO?" The taller woman growled dangerously, as her teal eyes narrowed on her prey. "You caused this, didn't you!"
Nyanko for her part could barely even speak at this point, as she desperately gasped for air. She struggled to reply to her tormentor, but Uranus would not let her. As the Senshi of the wind slowly began to squeeze the former Senshi's neck, bruising it in the process.
"Haruka, STOP!" a new voice suddenly pleaded, "Let her go!"
Upon investigation, Uranus saw that her lover was now leaning on the opposite wall and nursing a bruise on her right arm. Instantly, Uranus released her death grip on Nyanko and dropped the helpless woman.
"Are you ok?" Uranus asked, as she rushed to her lover's side and helped Neptune to her feet.
"Galaxia did this... not Nyanko." the Aqua hair senshi replied, as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth "I... I sensed her before..."
"Michi, take it easy." Uranus told her lover, as she could see more blood trickling down Neptune's fore head. "We need to get out of here."
"T... There!" Nyanko gasped out, as she pointed upwards. "The hatch!"
Without even thinking twice, Uranus left her lover's side and attempted to open the emergency hatch. After pounding on it for what seemed like an eternity, the tall blond was able to un jam said hatch and began to climb out into the dark elevator shaft. Smoke filled the confined area, as Uranus could see the ominous glow of flames raging many levels above her. Apparently the elevator had come to a stop in between floors and Uranus could reach the other set of elevator doors. If she could pry them open some how, then they would be able to escape.
Summoning her sword, Uranus jammed the blade between the metal doors in an attempt to pry them open. All the while trying not to choke on the smoke which was quickly filling the shaft. Nor did it help that she could hear the emergency brakes slowly begin to give way. With another grunt Uranus continued to pry at the doors, he muscles straining at the task and calling out to her to stop. But Haruka/Uranus refused to listen, and she would be damned if she would allow herself and Neptune die in there.
Then, the doors began to groan and a beam of light could been seen through them. With this sudden glimmer of hope, Uranus dropped her sword and began to open the doors with the own gloved hands. Suddenly, two more pair of hands appeared from the other side and began pulling the doors apart. With this help, Uranus was able to finally get the doors open and when she did, she saw both McKenzie and Morrison standing before her.
"What happened?" Morrison asked the tall blond. "We heard the explosions, did you find Galaxia?"
"No... She found us!" Uranus replied, "Nyanko and Neptune are hurt, we need to get them out of there now!"
"We're right behind you." Neptune announced, as she was now helping Nyanko out of the elevator. "Galaxia is here, we need to alert the-"
Suddenly there was another explosion and when everyone looked up, they saw the hellish sight of the flaming elevator mechanism falling down the shaft.
"Move!" Uranus exclaimed, as she was pulled out by the two airmen. Neptune was quick on her feet and helped Nyanko out of the shaft, before McKenzie yanked her out. Just as the flaming mass slammed into the elevator and continued its fall.
"That... was... close..." Morrison gasped out, as everyone sat on the floor and caught their breath.
"Too... close..." Uranus replied, as she attempted to catch her breath. "I think we can safely say that Galaxia in here."
"And she wants to kill us." McKenzie added, as he took out his communicator. "We should inform the general."
"You do that." Uranus growled, as she helped her lover to her feet. "We'll deal with Galaxia."
"What?" Morrison asked in surprise. "You can't be serious?"
"She almost killed you, all of you!" McKenzie added. "With all due respect, you aint exactly in the best condition to attack her."
"He... is right." Nyanko interjected, as she was still sore from Uranus' death grip on the neck. "We need to fall-"
That was all the young woman was able to get out, just as a large and healthy looking sword burst through her chest. The blade covered with the young woman's blood, as the owner of said weapon pulled it out and kicked Nyanko's now lifeless body to the floor. Much to the disbelief and horror of everyone that saw.
"I must say... out of all the planets I have been too, this one has been able more trouble than I though." Galaxia stated in a rather calm, yet unsettling tone. "You Tau'ri have proven to be a major foil to my plans. You have certainly lived up to the reputation the galaxy knows you for."
"Give up, Galaxia!" Uranus barked back, as she drew her own sword. To which Neptune's mirror appeared in her hands, while the two airmen leveled their guns at the evil senshi. "There's no way we'll let you win!"
"We don't have to do this." Galaxia replied, "You two could joint me, and fight by my side."
"And why would we want to join you?" Neptune shot back, not sure where the evil senshi was going with her perposal.
"Look around you. The Universe is flawed as it is! All the evil, the suffering, what good is a universe if those who live in it have to go unneeded strife?"
"You're going around destroying planets and killing other senshi." Neptune spat out, as she could still see the bloody body of their companion on the floor"You just tried to kill us, and you killed... killed Nyanko!"
"But the world I plan to create, will be better than the one we are apart of already!" Galaxia argueed, "It will be one without pain, without suffering... without death or sadness."
"Its said that... the road to hell is paved with good intentions." Uranus replied. "You are no better than than the very same ills you claim you will eliminate."
"All for the greater good." Galaxia replied calmly, as she slowly began to walk towards the surviving group. It was very clear to see that this woman beyond reasoning and was very much insane. "Will you join me in my mission to save the Galaxy?"
"Go to hell." the Senshi og the Wind growled out, before she charged at the gold clad senshi. But just as she was to strike, Galaxia sent out a wave of energy which connected with Uranus' blade. Shattering it with ease, before the tall woman was sent flying back into her lover. Both women striking the wall behind them with a loud thud, as Galaxia just stood there and admired her handy work.
"Shame..." Galaxia spoke once again, as she walked towads the now crippled senshi. "We could have avoided all this violence if you had just pledged your loyalty to me. But I guess not everyone wants to live in the world that is to come."
"Daedalus, NOW!" McKenzie suddenly screamed out and before anyone could react, a series of bright flashes filled the room. The event only lasted for a fraction of a second, but when ended, Galaxia found herself alone in the now empty hallway.

{ Meanwhile, in orbit... }
"OUTTA THE WAY!" a member of the Daedalus' medical team yelled out, as the group quickly exited the cargo bay. With them was the innert and bloody form of Nyanko laying on a stretcher, as she still had a pulse, despite her grave injuries. A few more medics were treating Uranus and Neptune in the cargo bay , as they had suffered bruises from their encounter with the evil senshi.
Meanwhile on the bridge, General O'Neill and the rest of SG-1 sat with the assembled senshi to discuss this recent development. The mood was grim, as everyone there could not help but to think about Nyanko at that moment. The doctors had said she had lost a lot of blood and it was a miracle that she still had a pulse, but it was still unknown weather or not the young woman would survive. By comparison, Neptune and Uranus had gotten off easy with their injuries.
"The docs say Nyanko has slipped into a coma." the General stated, as he knew everyone there were worried bout her. "But its still touch and go at this point. They are not even sure if she will make it."
"I am sure your people will do all they can to help her." Kakyuu replied hopefully, all be it with a somber tone. "I guess we now know she was telling the truth about Galaxy TV."
"The question now is how do we deal with her?" Makoto asked, "Eventually we are going to have to fight her."
"That may not be such a good idea." Carter replied. "We can't just watlz up to her and pick a fight. We need to come up with a plan."
"Yea... look what happened with Uranus and Neptune." Makoto stated, as she scowled.
"So we need to bring her out into the open." Kakyuu added, "But how do we do it?"
"Not like you guys could teleport the entire building to like the moon or something." Minako said absent mindedly, as she looked at the glass of water sitting on the table before her. Little did the yong blond know, that her idle comment had been heard by both the General and Carter.
"What?" Minako asked curiously, as she noticed the two officers looking over to her. "Did I say something wrong?"
"Do you think it's possible?" Jack asked curiously.
"In theory, it should be." Carter replied, as she began to mentally work out the equations. "But it would take some doing."
"Wait... you guys can't be... you're serious, aren't you?" Star Maker asked out loud, an look of disbelief forming on her face.
"Mizuno-san, care to help me wih something?"
"Um, yes." the blue haired teen replied, uncertain as to what the older woman had in mind. "But do you plan to do?"
"You will see soon enough." Carter replied, as she motioned to Ami to follow her.
"What's going on?" Usagi asked, as she and the rest of the senshi sat there with confused expressions on their faces.
"Your friend over there is a genius." O'Neill replied, motioning to Minako.
"I am?"
"She is?" Both Rei and Makoto asked in unison.
"What did she do?" Usagi asked curiously.
"You are all mad if you are thinking what i think you are thinking!" exclaimed a surprised Star Healer.
"What did I do?" the young blond asked with a puzzled expression on her face
"You'll see soon enough."
"See what?" a new, yet familiar voice piped up.
"Pluto, Saturn!" Usagi exclaimed in surprise, as she saw the two women standing by the door.
"I really wish they would stop doing that." O'Neill muttered to himself, something which caused Pluto to smile a bit.
"So you have come up with a plan to deal with Galaxia, it seems?" the Time Goddess asked, as she and Saturn entered the room.
"Well actually, I did... I think?" Minako replied.
"Really?" Saturn chirpped, a stunned expression forming on her face.
"Yes, she did." O'Neill replied. "But we're gonna have to coordinate with the Japanese government, for this plan to work. Or at the very least, give a plausible resaon as to why a building has suddenly disappeared."
"Oh...wait, what?"
[ [ [ [ ] ] ] ] [ [ [ [ ] ] ] ] [ [ [ [ ] ] ] ]
Usagi stood alone within the Battle-cruiser's infirmary, an overwhelming sadness and sense of despair falling upon her as she looked at the individual before her. Though the doctors had been able to stop the bleeding, Nyanko was now in a coma and not even the doctors knew if the former evil senshi would would ever come out of it. An oxygen mask covered the former animamate's face, as numerous cords connected the young woman to the many machines that monitored her health.
Just days ago, Usagi had managed to help Nyanko to break free from the influence of Galaxia and allow her true self to take control. Nyanko was so happy and was committed to helping both her senshi and SG-1 stop the Dark Senshi once and for all. But now she was in a coma, possibly fighting for her life right now, all because the very evil she wanted to stop, wanted to end her life.
Galaxia was quite possibly thee most powerful and dangerous threat she and her senshi had ever faced. Even with the combined help from both the Sailor Starlights and the SGC, Usagi was not certain that it would be enough to stop her. Her senshi, her friends, were going to be fighting Galaxia with her. They would be going into harms way once again and if Nyanko and the two outer senshi were any indication, there was a very strong chance they would be killed.
It was not too long ago when Usagi as Sailor Moon, saw all her friends die one by one when they finally confronted Queen Beryl at D-Point. They all died while trying to protect her and it was something that would forever haunt the future queen. She didn't want to go through that trauma again, nor did she want her friens to be hurt like that ever again. As Usagi looked on at the sleeping Nyanko, she knew what needed to be done. Galaxia wanted her and her alone, maybe she could use that to her advantage.
With that thought in mind, Usagi made her way out of the infirmary and down the the corridor. Completely unaware that she was being followed by a muscular individual...
