SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 1 out, this is Chapter 2 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and my OC.

Chapter 2: Rise of Eternal Chaos Moon, Part One

"May I ask what's going on in that pretty head of yours?" Shun teased, the couple having sent Ryuho on his way.

"Nothing big." Ami looked up from her cup. "Just remembering things."

"A trip down memory lane?" Shun joked.

"Not exactly." Ami nodded absentmindedly. "You might want to sit down for this."

"Ami, what's wrong?" Shun asked, sensing the change in her demeanor.

"Mars isn't the real enemy." Ami revealed. "In chess terms, he's merely a Queen; the King is someone else, the God of Darkness, Abzu. And Abzu," she focused on her cup. "Isn't from this world."

"Ami, what do you mean?" Shun's warning bells went on high alert.

"Abzu is what I call Chaos in my world." Ami sighed. "I can still remember the final battle we Senshi fought against him…" she smiled wistfully. All of us died, leaving our leader, Eternal Sailor Moon, as the last line of defense against Chaos Galaxia. Princess Serenity won that battle, driving Chaos out of Galaxia's body. Then somehow, Chaos found a way into Usagi's heart and turned her against us."

Flashback

"Oh, my God!" Minako squealed, two years had passed since their last battle. Her eyes were positively round as she stared at the hand Rei had used to rearrange her hair. "What's that on your hand?"

Rei flushed, immediately pulling her left hand away to hide it under her bed covers, but Makoto was too quick and grabbed it as Minako continued staring at the small, glittering diamond on the black-haired woman's ring finger. Makoto's eyes widened as she, too, leaned over the table to stare at Rei's hand.

"No . . . way . . . " the brunette breathed.

Minako, who was still staring at the object with huge eyes, slowly raised her head to gaze at Rei in disbelief. "Rei…" she said, bringing a hand to her mouth, "Are you engaged?"

All eyes immediately turned to the blushing woman, and Rei looked away, pulling her left hand away from Makoto's grasp and trying her hardest to look annoyed with them.

But she was smiling.

"Oh, my God!" cried Makoto.

"You're engaged!" even Ami was caught in the excitement. "I can't believe it!"

"That's so great!" Minako said. "I'm really happy for you, Rei."

"Thanks, guys," Rei chuckled.

Outside the door, Usagi's eyes widened, overhearing the conversation. That's not supposed to happen! I'm supposed to be the only one who gets married! Does that mean that there is no more Crystal Tokyo? I can't let this happen!

Yes, Princess Serenity. The Chaos fragment within her heart chuckled, having worked on her fears and insecurities and wearing her down mentally for the past couple of months. Let loose your rage, give in to your hatred. Let them feel your wrath. Accept my power and let me help you get revenge.

Yes… Usagi thought, the belief that her future as Queen was completely gone enabled Chaos to fuel her dark emotions. All of them, they've betrayed me. They'll pay…

"I sense Chaos!" Rei flung her door open, only to find Usagi outside, the Moon Senshi's transformation brooch turning black. "Eternal Chaos Power! All those who have wronged or mistreated me deserve to die because I'm a Senshi of Vengeance, Eternal Chaos Moon."

"Mars Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Venus Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Jupiter Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Mercury Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"We are the Sailor Senshi, on behalf of the Moon, we'll punish you!" the four Inner Senshi chorused.

"Now, now." Eternal Chaos Moon tsked. "You girls won't really attack your precious Princess, would you?" releasing a burst of dark power, sending them all flying.

Uranus managed to dodge the attack and threw a flurry of angry kicks and punches, all of which the Dark Senshi effortlessly evaded. "World Shaking!" Uranus sent a golden energy sphere flying but it was no use as the Eternal Chaos Moon simply caught the attack. Unfazed, she turned the attack back on the Sky Senshi. The Senshi tried to dodge it, but it was a futile attempt as Eternal Chaos Moon caught her, sending her flying backward with a soul shattering scream, fatally wounding her. She landed with a sickening thud on the ground. "Why...why are you doing this to us... You... You were supposed to be our leader, our princess, our Messiah!"

Eternal Chaos Moon just stared down at her with a stony gaze and said nothing.

"Answer me, why?" pounding her fist against the ground, the fiery blonde collapsed from her injuries.

Neptune, who looked as weak and worse for the wear as her lover, threw herself over the Uranus Senshi in an attempt to shield her from further harm. "This is... The end..." She managed weakly. "There's no way... To stop her now..."

"And now...this is your end." Eternal Chaos Moon spoke, monotone and barely above a whisper, throwing the wave of dark power towards the fallen Senshi. "The powers of your planets will soon belong to me and I'll rule this Universe as it was meant to be."

"Then, a miracle happened." Ami continued her narration. "Something that was thought to have been destroyed a long time ago manifested; the Holy Grail. It called to me, wanting me to wield its power. It was then the Outers realized that Sailor Moon hadn't been the Messiah of Light they've been searching for, it had been me all along."

SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
