{ Operation: Endgame pt.1 }
"This is possibly the craziest plan I have ever heard of..." Star Maker stated in both shock and disbelief, as herself and the rest of the Senshi gathered to go over the plan hatched by SG-1. Needless to say, it had earned some very shocked looks from the young women.
"I know it sounds implausible, but it can be done." Ami replied, as she and Carter stood before the assembled group.
"I still cant believe i came up with this plan." Minako stated with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Neither can we..." Rei and Makoto replied in unison
"But teleporting an entire building with Galaxia still inside?" Star Fighter exclaimed, as she was still having problems trying to comprehend the SG team's plan. "Have you ever done anything like this before?!"
"No, but there is a first time for everything." O'Neill casually replied. "Besides, this is the only way to safely remove Galaxia from Tokyo."
"But people are gonna notice that there is a building missing." Rei stated. "They well be asking questions."
"Leave that to us." the general replied. "But once Galaxia is removed, then we can move in without worrying about anyone else getting hurt."
"The only down side is that we would not have enough power to send it to the moon." Carter added. "But we have selected somewhere much closer where we could send it."
"Where?" Saturn asked curiously.
"Antarctica."
"Nani?" Usagi and her friends asked with puzzled expressions on their faces, expressions which were also found on the faced of Kakyuu and her senshi as well. "Why there?" Makoto asked.
"Because it is remote and far away from any major population centers." Ami answered.
"Plus if needed, we can put down a lot of fire on her position without antone noticing." O'Neill added. "If it does come to that, anyway."
"But what will be our plan of attack, once we get her into the open?" Kakyuu asked.
"Attack her from all sides and hope we get lucky." Star Fighter suggested, but her words were met with looks of disapproval from the other women there. "What?"
"She wants me." Usagi suddenly announced, her words gaining the attention of everyone there. "That is the reason why she is here."
"Usagi...?" Rei spoke up, as a look of concern began to form on her face. "What are you talking about?"
"The only reason Galaxia is here, is for me." the young blond replied, as a somber yet frightful expression was now present on her face. "Galaxia wants me and only me! I... I can't let any of you get hurt... not again. Not like Nyanko..."
At this point, tears could seen rolling down her cheeks as Usagi began to sob. "Galaxia wants me and only me. I should be the one to face her... alone."
"Usagi..." Rei said softly, as she and the rest of Earth's senshi began to huddle around their friend and embrace her. They knew Usagi had not been herself since Mamoru left for America and the arrival of Galaxia didn't help things either. Usagi was quite possibly one of the strongest and most resilient person they knew, but to see her break down like this made them worry. It was as if the strain she was under had finally gotten to the moon princess, the breaking point being seeing Nyanko in the medical bay hooked up to all those machines.
"You are a very strong and brave woman." Teal'c suddenly spoke up, gaining the attention of everyone there. Including Usagi. "I may not know you personally, nor for very long. But I do know that you care about all your friends and you do not want them to be hurt in any way. But it would be foolish not to accept their help now, when you need it more than ever."
"But if they go with me now, they... I may not be able to save them." Usagi sniffed, her head still facing downwards at the metallic table before her. Almost immediately Rei and the rest of the girls knew just what Usagi was talking about and began to understand why their friend didn't want them to come with her...
D Point...
"Usagi..." Makoto began to speak. "You don't have to do this alone and we do not want you to do it alone."
"And we will not let you do it alone." Minako added firmly.
"We do not want you to get hurt." Ami stated, "We will stand with you."
"Weather you like it or not." Rei replied with a grin. "and besides, who would I call bunshead if anything were to happen to you"
"Usagi-chan, I know how you feel. Just weeks ago I had thought I lost my friends as well and there would be times I wished I had them with me back then." Kakyuu said, as she came up next to Usagi with the Starlights. "They wish to stand with you now, and so do we."
"We owe it to our people and our families that were lost along with out planet." Star Fighter stated firmly. "Galaxia needs to be stopped here and now."
"We will stan with you." Star Maker added, with Healer nodding in support.
"And you also have the Tau'ri at your side as well." Teal'c added, as he amd the SG-1 now stood before her.
"You have a lot of friends standing with you now." O'Neill continued. "powerful ones at that and it would be dumb ot to accept their help."
Usagi could feel the tears well up in her eyes once again, thought this time they were tears of joy. In her fear and concern, the young blond forgot that she truly was among friends. Friends who were more than willing to be at her side when she needed them the most and cared about her as much as she cared about them.
"Thank you, all of you." Usagi replied, as she wiped away her tears. "But we still need a way to draw out Galaxia once we get her where we want her. How do we even make sure that she doesn't get away?"
"Just leave that to us." the General replied calmly. But I suggest we rest up for now until we are able to execute the plan.
The rest of the group just nodded in agreement before exiting the meeting. But just as they exited, O'Niell asked Rei to stay behind. As he had to talk to her about something.
"Yes General?" the priestest asked the older man.
"A few days ago one of my men said that you needed help in locating someone?"
"Hai! Mamoru Chiba." the young woman replied. "Usagi's boyfriend. He had left for America a few weeks ago, but her hasn't called her since."
"Well... I have been making some calls and... there is no record of a Mamoru Chiba entering the United States." The General explained.
"What...? how... how is that even possible?"
"We checked the flight manifest, but there is no record of him ever arriving in America."
An uneasy feeling began to fill the fire senshi, "How is that even possible? We saw him get on that plane, how..."
"I don't know." the older man replied. "It's like he just vanished off the face of the Earth."
"Or... Galaxia may have gotten to him during his flight." Rei said frightfully, as something within her told the priestess that this was the likely situation. "Thank you general, you were a great help."
And with that, Rei left the conference room and caught back up with her friends. All the while, her mind racing with the information she had just received. Just what would she tell Usagi? could she tell Usagi? What would be her reaction?
For the next few hours, the assembled group of Senshi and Airmen prepared themselves for what was to be the toughest fight of their lives. Rei held an impromptu prayer session with her friends and asked the Shinto gods to protect them during the coming battle. While the Starlights and their princess spent their time in silent meditation. In the hanger bays, F-302s were readied for combat was the hanger crews fitted them with their standard weapons layout. While their pilots were briefed on the upcoming mission. It was something the F-302 pilots had done before and some of them were even veterans of the battle against Anubis just months ago.
But this would be different, as they would not be going up against an self-proclaimed god and his fleet. But a single individual who had butchered billions across the galaxy. while this was all going on, Sailor Pluto watched silently from the shadows and she had to admit, she felt very confident about those her princess had allied herself with. They may have been much younger than some of the civilizations which she knew of during the Silver Millennium, but this "SGC" had proven to be more creative and cunning than the Asgard or even the Furlings. She remember how before the fall, some of the older races suggested that Queen Serenity and her kingdom may become "The Fifth Race" among their Great Alliance. Maybe this group could succeed where the Silver Millennium failed and cause humanity to ascend to the title of the Fifth Race. but only time will tell if the humans of today will achieve such a status.
Meanwhile on the ground, the Japanese government did their part. As the PISA and other agencies began to evacuate the area around Galaxy T.V., saying that their was a massive gas leak in the area. For the most part said evacuation was going well, save for a few people who protested but eventually followed instructions. With the area now clear, it was time to implement their plan.
Suddenly, there was a bright flash and a loud explosion that rocked the massive city, as a massive smoke plume rose into the sky. When the dust settled and the smoke cleared , Galaxy T.V. was no more and in its place was nothing more than a pile of rubble. To anyone who had seen it, they would of thought that the television station been destroyed. But to the Japanese government (Who were very much surprised at this point) knew better.
Meanwhile in Antarctica, a blue flash revealed a television station now located on the frozen tundra. Moments later, a a now shocked individual clad in gold armor emerged from the structure and began to scan her new surroundings. The arctic air hardly troubled her, as space was a much harsher environment. But what really troubled her was the fact that she had been in a city just moments ago, but now found herself in a frozen wasteland. Just what had happened? More importantly, just who was responsible?
She soon got her answer and the evil senshi saw numerous dots in the distance approaching her location. She watched as said dots got bigger, and bigger and bigger until she could make out the silhouettes of stange looking craft surrounding two larger objects.
It was at that moment did Galaxia realize the harsh truth. The Tau'ri had brought her here to do one thing alone...
FIGHT...

A/N: and there is part 1 for you, what did you think? Anyway a few annoucements.
If you did not already know, "Halo: The Andromeda Chronicles" is now on an extended hiatus and I will not be updating it for a long time. I am just plain tapped out fpr chapter and I kinda lost my drive to continue it, so for now, its done. So dont ask me when the next update is coming.
Also, I have been playing around with the idea of doing a sequel to this particular story. Nothing concrete yet, but I just may do a one shot as a follow up to this one. But I digress, leave a review and tell me what you think.
Until next time, NIGHTSTALKER signing off...
