Ornate doors were opened before her and she stepped through with purpose. The amphitheatre was full and at her entrance silence passed along those gathered in the chambers.
"Senshi Cosmos," a deep female voice boomed and the Senshi made her way quietly to her position reserved for the Galactic Council. "Forgive us for disturbing you but I am afraid we have received a distress signal from the Gama Quadrant and your presence was needed," Judge Farnell began as a holographic universe flickered to life before those gathered. Quickly planets shot before them until a small clustered galaxy appeared. At its center was a bright yellow star and than nine planets extended out from it with numerous moons. "This is the Milky Way," Judge Farnell continued and Cosmos' grey eyes blinked taking in the galaxy. It was rather small. "Of the nine planets only one is left inhabitable. E-Arth," The third planet from the large yellow star enlarged and showed a beautiful planet of green and blue. "It actually houses nine Senshi Guardians on this one planet. Its main guardian considered the most powerful in its quadrant seems to have gone a bit off course."
A photo than appeared of a young woman with bright pink hair that cascaded down from two diamond shaped buns at the top of her head. She held a small staff and her bright red eyes shown with power.
"Her name is Senshi Moon," Judge Rachon picked up. "Her senshi have sent word to us that they are in need of council. Though they are a level 3 with so many Senshi on the planet I think it deserves immediate attention."
"I shall go," a voice suddenly spoke up and the senate room fell silent.
"You Senshi?" Judge Farnell questioned surprised. Sailor Cosmos had not left the LaLuna in over a hundred years.
"I feel it is my time to pull my weight once more," she breathed bowing her head respectfully to them.
"If you feel so inclined…" Judge Rachon began when suddenly a voice cleared.
"Perhaps Senshi Caldara would be a better choice?" The aging voice of Senshi Zue caused the entire room to fall silent. Eyes turned quietly as the aged woman stepped forward. She had aged gracefully… for a woman of two thousand years old. She was the last of the Ternac Reign that had ruled two rotations before the current Judges.
"Senshi Zue. An honor to have you in our presence," Judge Farnell breathed with a bow of her head. "Yet, why would Senshi Caldara be a better choice than Senshi Cosmos?" She offered and Senshi Zue took in a deep breath, her dark violet eyes taking in the composed form of Sailor Cosmos. Not a flicker of recognition seemed to pass through the guardian's eyes and still Senshi Zue shook her head.
"Forgive my intrusion. It is just from my years experience that Senshi Caldara may be better received than Senshi Cosmos in such a small galaxy."
"Perhaps." Judge Rachon breathed and Senshi Cosmos nodded her head quietly.
"I deeply appreciate your input Senshi Zue," Judge Farnell began. "But I feel even though this galaxy is small it is vastly important… we should send our best to take care of it," Judge Farnell continued than pounded her gavel into the crystal table before her, its noise echoing across the room. "Senshi Cosmos please leave within the next cycle. I fear there is not a moment to waste," she breathed and Senshi Zue's eyes widened considerably. Senshi Cosmos bowed, her arm over her heart than she quietly retreated the room. Senshi Zue watched as the senate began to file out and panic started to take over her features. She rushed quietly to the Judges table.
"I fear you are making a grave mistake," she hissed at them and the two judges blinked and took in the former judge with surprise. "What if she is killed?"
"Senshi Zue... that is a valid concern but our entire structure is not built upon one Senshi. We wish her Godspeed and protection," she whispered and Senshi Zue almost choked.
"Live without our strongest and most powerful warrior?" She whispered and Judge Rachon smiled at her.
"We are peacekeepers… not war machines," she breathed and Senshi Zue watched the two file out and she nearly choked. Sadly, their ignorance of the vast situation before them was clouding their decisions… but how were they to know? How could they not see Senshi Cosmos vast importance? She sucked in a steadying breath and felt her heart beat a bit faster in her breast.
