Chapter 22: Ace in the Hole
"Figure something out… you're all armatures, even Sailor Moon had a better plan than just coming here." Said Sailor Galaxia, "Honestly it wouldn't make a difference than if I just randomly picked you off one by one…"
The Sailor Senshi glared at her.
"In fact that sounds like fun…" said Sailor Galaxia.
She aimed her ball at Sailor Elara… which hit dead center.
"Elara!" cried Sailor Eris.
Several Hours Earlier…
Both Momo and Rukia had to go to the Soul Society, with the upcoming back with Galaxia, Captain Kurotsuchi had to show them something he has been working on.
"You created a gigai that will withstand Galaxia's attack?" asked Momo.
"That's right." Said Captain Kurotsuchi, "And it should work but in exchange…"
Both Momo and Rukia gave him looks that made him draw back slightly… he made have also wanted to experiment on Sailor Senshi, but there's no way that they would let them.
"So how dose it work?" asked Rukia.
"Instead of exacting your star seed it exacts your entire soul." Explained Captain Kurotsuchi.
"So have you tested it?" asked Momo.
"No I have not." Answered Captain Kurotsuchi.
Momo sweat dropped while Rukia glared harshly to be fair, she did have a very bad experience in the past involving a Gigai.
"Don't worry it will work." Said Captain Kurotsuchi.
"And if it doesn't we'll be dead." Said Rukia glaring at the clown faced Captain.
"So how does it work?" asked Momo changing the subject.
"It exacts the entire soul, not the Star Seed. As long as your in the Gigai it works but once you exit the Gigai you're fair game." Explained Captain Kurotsuchi unaware that he was explaining something he already explained, "However I do require two things."
Both Rukia and Momo gave him looks.
"No what I require is information, should this happen for any reason I would like to know two things: IF your powers mix when you are nothing but a soul and second I would like to know if all Senshi are able to see you if they are transformed.
Both of them nodded, they would agree to that, in fact it was something they needed to know themselves.
Back to the battle…
Most of the Senshi couldn't believe their eyes… there were two Rukia's. One of them laid on the ground motionless, detransformed, while the other stood above her, her Senshi uniform had changed in a strange wait, it was no longer a white leotard, but rather what looked to be a black sleeveless kosode with a lavender sash tied around her waist in place of a ribbon on her chest, her skirt was replaced with a mini hakama that was short (and resembled a mini skirt) and ice blue. Her shoes were replaced with a straw sandals and ice blue socks. Really all that remanded were the gloves, tiara, choker and Sailor Collar, she also has a sword attached to her waist, she will be referred to SR Sailor Elara.
"So it did work." Said whispered SR Sailor Elara looking at her new costume change.
Sailor Galaxia stared at her… then realized there had something been off about her star seed.
"You're a newly created Sailor Senshi aren't you? You were given these powers in order to fight, is that right?" asked Sailor Galaxia.
Rukia glared at Sailor Galaxia.
"IF I can guess… you're one of those Soul Reapers I heard so much about…" said Sailor Galaxia.
"Okay! What's going on! Did Elara get some sort of Power up!" yelled Sailor Ganymede.
Sailor Sun on the other hand walked up to her and got into her face.
"Elara… what are you hiding?" asked Sailor Sun.
"Now's not the time…" muttered SR Sailor Elara.
Sailor Galaxia began to laugh, "I can sense 3 more young star seeds, one just a baby while the others are just a few years old." She laughed.
She aimed a golden ball, at Sailor Larissa, the same thing happened to Rukia, expect replace the Ice Blue parts with Periwinkle, the lavender parts with Persian indigo… and her Lieutenant's armband which she forgot to take off. Much like with Sailor Elara, an SR will be added before her name to distingue the costume.
"Something weird is going on." Said Sailor Titan.
"Honestly you really think you can beat me?" asked Sailor Galaxia with a laugh, "Even I can tell the reason why I couldn't exact your star seed is because of those fake bodies you were wearing."
"Fake bodies?" asked Sailor Sun getting into SR Sailor Elara's face again.
"Now not the time…" said Sailor Larissa trying to calm down Sailor Sun.
"Those two are different than the other two." Thought Sailor Galaxia.
She then launched a golden ball at Sailor Juliet… she mumbled something, that's when a force field approached her and stopped the ball.
"Okay! What's going on!" yelled Sailor Sun.
Meanwhile in a place unknown to anyone… it was a bizarre place of light. A mysterious figure appeared, she looked like some sort of fairy or perhaps an angel, she the Queen of the Silver Millennium, Queen Serenity. That's when a Silver Crystal and a Golden Star Seed appeared in front of her. The two them glowed and bodies appeared where the two um… crystals were. They took the shape of Prince Endymon and Princess Serenity.
"What's going on?" asked Princess Serenity.
The two of them saw each other, Princess Serenity began to cry as she began to hug her prince.
"I can't believe it your back, your really back!" cried Princess Serenity.
Prince Endymon just hugged her back, just as confused.
Queen Serenity smiled she would let those two have their moment before informing them of the situation.
Back in Sailor Galaxia's HQ. Sailor Galaxia just glared at Sailor Juliet.
"You're a Humanoid Interface aren't you?" asked Sailor Galaxia.
Sailor Juliet simply nodded.
"Everyone stand back." Said Sailor Juliet.
"Wait what!" yelled Sailor Ganymede.
"We came here to fight and your just tossing us aside for some reason…." Muttered Sailor Triton.
"Now's not the time for you to fight." Said Sailor Juliet.
"I agree." Sighed Sailor Star Fighter, "Maybe we should have trained before we went to battle. I realize now that most of you aren't ready."
"How pathetic. You should have just waited until I had enough power to the engulf the world again." Laughed Sailor Galaxia.
Sailor Star Fighter narrowed her eyes at Sailor Galaxia.
"Only Elara, Larissa, Juliet and Pandora have enough strength to fight her." Explained Sailor Star Fighter.
"You knew didn't you?" asked Sailor Sun.
"Why did you hide it from us?" asked Sailor Dione.
"Would you have believed me?" asked Sailor Star Fighter.
Everyone had various looks on their faces, each one said a different thing. Some said "Yes", most said "No" and a couple said "You have no idea.".
"So please stand back." Said Sailor Juliet.
"You think you can stop me." Laughed Sailor Galaxia, "I can just go after the weaklings behind your back!"
Sailor Galaxia once again laughed a golden ball headed for the "Weak" Sailor Senshi. However before it could anyone a yellow barrier blocked the ball until the golden ball disappeared. When it did so everyone saw who did it… Sailor Eris… and three weird fairies flying around her.
"Don't tell me you have weird powers too!" yelled Sailor Ganymede.
There was a silence…
"Um…" said Sailor Eris nervously.
"Okay does anyone else have weird powers that I don't know about!" yelled Sailor Sun.
Back in the place with, Queen Serenity, Princess Serenity and Prince Endymon, the two lovers had finally noticed Queen Serenity.
"What's going on?" asked Princess Serenity.
"What do you last remember?" asked Queen Serenity.
"I remember trying to save Sailor Galaxia… but then she… she…" said Princess Serenity, "Does that mean everyone… and everything…"
"No…" said Queen Serenity, "The Earth was healed… I won't say how because the person who healed it is unaware of what she has done. I had also saved the Star Lights from Galaxia… however both Healer and Maker were eventually taken by Galaxia."
"So Seiya is fighting alone?" asked Princess Serenity.
"No… The moon Senshi and the Senshi of the outer reaches are fighting along with Sailor Sun." said Princess Serenity.
"The Moon Senshi?" asked Princess Serenity..
"The Senshi of the Outer Reaches?" asked Prince Endymon.
"Sailor Sun." said both of them.
"Now all of them were awakened, but some." Said Queen Serenity, "Thy were Senshi that fought along side the Inner Senshi in the Silver Millennium. However I felt that none of them needed to be awakened but I am glad now."
"Wait… so they could fight Galaxia?" asked Princess Serenity.
"Yes, but not only that but two of who were awakened are the two that can bring you back." Said Queen Serenity.
"What do you mean?" asked Prince Endymon.
"During the Silver Millennium two of the Sailor Senshi had Star Seeds almost as pure and powerful as the Silver Crystal… that took on a form very similar to the Silver Crystal."
"Almost as Pure and Powerful?" asked Prince Endymon.
"And when they are truly awakened then you'll be able to take on physical forms once again." Said Queen Serenity.
"What do you mean psychical forms?" asked Prince Endymon.
"I am only able to summon your spirit forms in this dimension but once the two Crystals shine once again. Then you will be able to return." Explained Queen Serenity.
Back with the fight…
"Eris you think you can help everyone?" asked Sailor Elara.
"Of course." Said Sailor Eris with a nod.
"So those are her powers." Said Sailor Larissa.
"The power to Reject Fate. That is a power she inherited from her previous life of Princess of Eris. In this life it has taken a form that was born along side her ability to see the spirits of the dead." Said Sailor Juliet in a calm voice that only she and Sailor Pandora could hear.
"The Power of Soul Reapers, the Power of The Data Entity… some weird shield powered… that would stop me!" laughed Sailor Galaxia.
That's when Sailor Galaxia called out "Galaxia Inflation!"
She created a large black lighting bolt.
Sailor Eris once again created her shield. However the lighting bypassed the shield. Causing an expulsion that sent all the Sailor Senshi flying.
"No!" said Sailor Pandora.
Both SR Sailor Larisa and SR Sailor Elara drew their swords.
"Snap! Tobiume!" called SR Sailor Larissa.
"Dance! Sode no Shirayuki!" called out SR Sailor Elara.
Theta's when Sailor Galaxia called out "Galaxia Stinger!"
Before any of the 4… Newly Born Senshi do attack… she created a ball around her that lashed out at Sailor Senshi…. Causing them to fly into nearby walls.
"I should have done this from the beginning!" said Sailor Galaxia, she looked at Sailor Juliet, "Perhaps I can make her into an animate… this way I can find all remaining Sailor Senshi I missed."
That's when both Sailor Sun and Sailor Eris began to get up.
"Oh so you're both able to get up. How quaint." Said Sailor Galaxia.
"I'm not sure what's going on with them…" said Sailor Sun struggling to stand up.
"You won't hurt my friends again…" said Sailor Eris too struggling to stand up.
"But you're not going to win." Said both.
"How are you going to stop me?" laughed Sailor Galaxia.
That's when both of them closed their eyes. Sailor Sun began to glow gold while Sailor Eris began to glow cerulean, that's when two light emerged from their chests! Blinding Sailor Galaxia.
"What's going on!" called out Sailor Galaxia.
When the two Crystals Shine once again…
This battle was just getting started!
Omake Time: Lucky Channel Episode: 8
"Hiya Luckies!" cheered Akira, "Akira Kogami here… with Minoru Shiraishi."
"Hi." Said Minoru.
"Now I'm sure Minoru has an interesting subject for today's episode." Said Akira.
"Sure do!" said Minoru taking out a large board each other a captain level Soul Reaper.
"Another character induction episode! Please! No one wants to hear about them!" yelled Akira taking away the board and breaking her cute idol façade.
"Akira… they need to know about that." Said Minoru.
"What do you mean?" asked Akira.
"What if someone isn't a fan of Bleach, they need to know who these characters are." Said Minoru.
"So what, they could easily look it up on line." Muttered Akira.
"Oh who we even are." Said Minoru, "What if they're not Lucky Star Fans?"
That's when Akira began to hake Minoru, "That's not even funny! You know that!" yelled Akira.
"Stop shaking me!" shouted Minoru.
She tossed the poor sap into a nearby wall.
"All of you better know who I am! Got it." Muttered Akira.
That's when the en music began to play.
"The episode is over already? Now I'm sad. Bye Nii!"
"Bye… bye… nii." Said a very injured Minoru climbing back to the set.
The place card is shown.
"Don't ever joke about non-Lucky Star fans reading this story." Muttered Akira over the place card.
"But it's true…" mumbled Minoru over the place card.
