Chapter 27-Galaxia Descends

Beep. Beep. Our communicators flashed, waking Haruka and me from our deep slumber. "We are under attack. We are at the Three Lights concert." Fierce battle sounds were heard in the background. We got up and ran out the house. Hotaru was so used to us running out of the house at a moments notice, she waved to us without looking away from the television.

We raced through the busy streets of Tokyo and headed straight to the concert hall. Sailor Tin Nyanko was fiercely attacking while the Starlights protected their princess and the scouts protected Sailor Moon. "Deep Submerge!" I fired a shot and hit the evil Sailor in the back. "Now, Sailor Moon!"

"Crystal Power Kiss!" Sailor Moon sent out her attack. Sailor Tin Nyanko screamed but she managed to free herself from the attack. One of her bracelets broke and her black fuku turned half white.

Sailor Tin Nyanko stopped her assaults and she looked dazed. "Don't be controlled by Galaxia. Don't be controlled by Galaxia." She said over and over. Then her face turned back to hatred, "I will take your star seed now for Galaxia-sama." "No, Stop!"The hand free of the bracelet grabbed her other hand and stopped it from firing shots.

"She's being controlled by Galaxia's bracelets. She used to be a good Sailor Soldier!" Princess KaKyuu explained. We all gasped in surprise. That meant all the previous ones were good once too. Sailor Iron Mouse, Sailor Aluminum Siren and Sailor Lead Crow.

"Wait, we will heal her back to normal!" Rei said as she noticed the Sailor Starlights getting ready for a kill shot.

"She is our enemy. She helped Galaxia destroyed our planet. Get out of our way." Sailor Healer yelled.

"Stop it. It is not good for us to have those feelings." Princess KaKyuu stepped in. "They were sailor Senshi once, just like us."

"That's right, we should work together!" Sailor Moon said while looking at Uranus and me. She took our her Holy Moon Calice, ready to heal the evil Sailors once and for all.

Just then, darkness appeared in the sky and quickly swallowed the entire world. Dark thunders rained down on Earth, as people scattered and fled. Screams of pain and terror were heard everywhere.

Sailor Galaxia had arrived. She descended from the dark heaven, wearing a gold armor from head to toe. Without a word, she raised her hand and took the remaining bracelet from Sailor Tin Nyanko. The Sailor screamed out in pain as she disintegrated. Just like that, the soldier was executed.

Galaxia slowly scanned the crowd of sailors in front of her. She stopped when she saw Princess Kakyuu. "You are the one that has been trying to wake the power to confront me. DIE!" She sent out a giant energy ball and Princess went flying. Sailor Starlights leapt up and caught the princess.

Galaxia continued her assault without a pause. She sent out a lot more attacks and they flew randomly around the stage. We started dodging. Sailor Jupiter grabbed Sailor Moon and started running. Just then, Princess Kakyuu stood up and sent out a blast of energy, effectively creating a barrier protecting all of us. She turned to say to all of us, "You don't have enough power to defeat Galaxia right now. I'll hold her here, so go now!"

The Starlights protested and refused to run away. Sailor Moon struggled free from Jupiter's grip and started running back towards the princess. With a smirk on her face, Galaxia increased her power and shattered the princess's barrier. The energy hit the princess squarely in the chest and her star seed was extracted.

"SILVER MOON CRYSTAL POWER KISS!" A very angry Sailor Moon yelled out her attack and put all of her energy on the shot.

Galaxia smiled and simply waved the attack away. She sneered and said, "Next time, I will take all of your star seeds. Your resistance is futile. I will rule the Galaxy no matter what. You might as well say goodbye to your families now."

Princess Kakyuu's body hit the ground with a thud. The starlights rushed over, even though there was nothing they could do now. Before princess's body disintegrated, she turned and said to the starlights, "Believe in them. Help them save their planet. Protect Sailor Moon." Her body started to shimmer and was then reduced to nothing but stardust.

Then, the big screen on the stadium flickered on. "This is an emergency broadcast. This is an emergency broadcast. Evacuate the city if you can." Behind the reporter, the images were horrid. Dark thunders were still showering down, hitting and disintegrating buildings in random. People that were hit by the thunders were dissolved, instantly.

The screen flickered again and Galaxia's face appeared on the emergency broadcast channel. "You insects nested on this rural planet! The whole galaxy is mine. I won't allow the existence of ugly creatures like you. Prepare yourselves. This is the end of human race."

"No, this can't be happening again." Sailor Star Fighter clenched her fists in fury. "This happened on our planet, right before she destroyed it all."

Sailor Mercury pulled out her computer and started to zero in on the broadcasting signal. "This is worldwide. Galaxia must have increased the signal and it is been broadcasted everywhere in the world. Hold on, let me zero in on the source…"

I reached for Sailor Uranus's hand unconsciously. This was it. I was glad Setsuna was home with Hotaru right now. At least, she wasn't alone when the apocalypse hit. They were probably transforming and on their way here now.

"Found it. The signal is coming from Galaxy TV. It is at the other end of the city."

The Sailor Starlights turned and started to leave. "Where are you guys going?" I asked them as I sensed a wave of hatred and vengeance. "If you walk in the front door now, you will die miserably."

"When we found the princess, we had hope that she could restore our planet. Now that she is dead, we are the last of our kind. Hope is now lost, there is no reason to live. We have to strike a blow against Galaxia, for our princess." Sailor Maker said.

Sailor Moon ran up to them and begged them to reconsider. "Your princess wouldn't want you to."

"I am sorry. We have to avenge our princess." Seiya said. She looked at Usagi with love and regret. "I wished we had met sooner. I wished we had met under different circumstances." Seiya then turned and addressed the rest of us, "Protect your princess."

We watched as the Sailor Starlights marched to their death.

We all retreated back to Rei's temple. Setsuna and Hotaru were there waiting for us already. With the gravity of the situation, we didn't have a lot of time to come up with a plan. While the scouts debated on what to do, Haruka grabbed my hand and said to the others, "We need a moment alone."

I sensed Haruka's intention right away. We were going to the headquarters. We would be the first line of defense again. I leaned on the sky soldier as we walked away.

"Is it okay not to say goodbye to Hotaru and Setsuna?" I asked. Haruka nodded. She beamed her handsome smile at me and said, "who's to say we won't see them again? As long as you are with me, I am okay."

So we walked, hand in hand, towards Galaxy TV. It would be our last stroll through the city as Michiru and Haruka. Just then, two figures walked out from the alleyway and stood in front of us. It was Setsuna and Hotaru.

"We are going with you. As soldiers of the outer solar system, we will protect Earth from this crisis. Out of the four of us, at least, one of us will survive and defeat Galaxia." Hotaru said. I held out my hand and hold on to Hotaru.

At least, if this was the end, we would die together. No one would ever be alone again.
