Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: Chaos Theory

Act 2: Tenou Haruka

By: Sora Kazeno

Welcome back for the next installment! I hope you are enjoying the story so far.


Haruka let her thoughts wander as she drove more laps around the track. This was the place she could always go when she needed to think things over. She felt kind of funny all morning as if she was in a daze. Another car appeared in her side and quickly passed her up. It was at that moment she realized she was really distracted and if she didn't pay attention things might not turn out too well.

It didn't take long for her to finish her current lap and return the car to its previous location. She pulled herself out of the car and took off her helmet. She felt as if there was something she was missing. Or rather something she was forgetting. She had this feeling since yesterday and she couldn't shake it. She decided it was time to head back to her apartment, which was the largest source of confusion for her at the moment.


Usagi had her textbook open in front of her as she tried to pay attention. Paying attention didn't seem to be working for her at the moment so she was trying to just stay awake. Usagi looked over at Makoto and Minako. They seemed to be half paying attention to the lesson or doing a good job of making it look like they were actually paying attention. It was safe to assume they didn't remember anything either.

A bell rang dismissing them for lunch. Usagi pulled out her lunch eager to eat her food. Before she was able to take a bite Taiki came up to her, "we need to talk." The Three Lights were still a popular singing group and everyone at school seemed to remember them. They needed to go somewhere quiet to discuss things. "Meet us on top of the rooftop in a few minutes," Taiki said as he walked away from the desk.

Usagi understood the need for confidentially since no one else needed to know they were senshi. Usagi covered her bento and took it with her. They needed to talk but she wasn't going to give up her entire lunch time and not eat anything!

About ten minutes later the four were on the rooftop. Usagi was inhaling her food as always.

"Did you recognize that woman that attacked us yesterday?" Yaten asked as he stood by the fence that overlooked the school grounds. He was keeping an eye on things making sure she didn't come back.

"I have no idea," Usagi said as she put more rice into her mouth. "Yesterday was the first time I saw her. I was wondering if you knew who she was since she seemed to know you more."

"Yesterday was the first time we met her as well," said Taiki as he joined Yaten over by the fence. "But we need to discuss our plan of action since I am pretty sure she will be back. I don't want to be caught off guard like that again." Taiki walked away from the fence to face Usagi. "How do we help the others remember the past? We are going to need their help."

For the first time since Usagi sat down she stopped eating. "I wish I knew," said Usagi in a really quiet voice. "I wish there was some easy way for them to remember everything but I don't know. I received my memories back when I started watching the three of you fight the other senshi."

"So we need to have others present during a battle?" Yaten asked sarcastically. "I don't see how that is going to work." Yaten looked over at his other two comrades.

"We will find another way to help them remember," Seiya said as he came to Usagi's defense. "Odango has been through a lot… we all have. We need to work together more than ever to stop this new enemy."

"We should be returning home to protect our Princess! We already fought one battle here and now we are expected to fight another? For what?" asked Yaten as he walked over to the others. "Why do we have to continue to risk our neck? We should be rebuilding our home!"

"Because Odango saved us and our Princess!" Seiya exclaimed as he came to Usagi's defense once more. "Without her our Princess never would have had her starseed returned and the world would have been consumed by Chaos. The Princess does not want to see what happened to our world happen here. We owe the Earth Senshi that much. Besides what if the enemy leaves this planet and travels to our own?"

The two other Starlights were silent for a moment. They knew Seiya had a point. As much as they wanted to leave Earth and return to Kinmoku they couldn't just abandon the Earth at the same time.

Taiki looked at his watch. "We don't have much time. Classes are about to resume. We need to keep attending in order to keep an eye on the others." Taiki and Yaten walked off which left Seiya and Usagi alone.

Seiya helped Usagi pick up her belongings. He placed a hand on hers and said, "Odango, I'm not going to let anything happen to you."

"Seiya…" Usagi said softly. She gasped when she saw the look in his eyes. It was clear his feelings for her hadn't changed. Usagi quickly stood up unsure of how to act. Her heart had sped up. "… class.. we should…go…" Usagi was finally able to say. She began walking toward the door. Seiya followed behind her without a word.


Haruka returned to her apartment and was greeted by her roommate Michiru. She didn't understand why she and Michiru were living together. She didn't remember how they knew each other. They were both confused yesterday. Neither one of them could remember how they first met but were living together. They later decided that bills were expensive and it was helpful to split costs.

"That was quick," said Michiru as she placed her violin on a table. Michiru had been practicing a lot recently. She was scheduled for a concert with a pop idol group for charity. She didn't remember when she agreed to play in the concert but she hated to cancel events especially if it is for charity.

Haruka felt some reassurance that Michiru was also struggling with remembering different things. It made Haruka feel as if she wasn't losing her mind even though she felt like it at times. She went into the other room to change out of her racing clothes. She decided she would rather go for a drive in her car outside of the city for an hour or two to try to clear her mind. Her thoughts turned to a dream she had. The faces were blurred but she recalled a jeweled short, a mirror and a crimson orb. She didn't understand what the three objects meant but they were significant to her for some reason.

Haruka walked out of the bedroom and grabbed her keys from the key hook in the wall. "I'm going to go driving for a few hours. I'll be back in a little while. I really need to clear my head."

Michiru smiled. "Talk all the time you need. If you want to talk I should be here when you get back or I will be swimming in the pool. I can't practice all day," said Michiru with a smile. She walked back over to the table and picked up her violin. She closed her eyes and began to run the bow across the strings. She decided to play Bach.


Sailor Lethe scanned the city streets. It was early afternoon and her target should be out and about. She noticed a familiar figure walking in the streets. She was a tall brunette with long hair tied back in a ponytail. For a few moments Sailor Lethe thought about temporarily changing her target since the girl was alone. But the more she thought about her option she realized it was better to go after her original target because her original target is a much stronger senshi than the girl walking down the street. Satisfied with her decision she said, "I will see you next time." Sailor Lethe disappeared from sight and continued her search for her target.

Sailor Phi observed Sailor Lethe from the distance. Once Sailor Lethe sets her mind on a goal she doesn't stop until she achieves her goal. She knew it would be a matter of time before she found the particular starseed she was after.


Usagi and the Three Lights parted ways shortly after the school day ended. They were going to keep an eye on some of the senshi and Usagi was supposed to check in on some of the other senshi. She knew she needed to be responsible but she wasn't in a hurry to see people that didn't remember her. Usagi was not paying attention to any of the streetlights as her thoughts wandered. A car honked at her and moved to the side to avoid hitting her. Usagi didn't have time to react. A young blonde hair woman asked her if she was okay. It took Usagi a moment to find her voice. "I'm… fine," Usagi said to the driver of the vehicle. She looked at the driver for the first time and realized the driver was Haruka.

"Are you sure you're okay?" asked Haruka. The hesitation in Usagi's voice made Haruka question the response she received from her.

"Yeah. I'm okay," said Usagi as she took a few steps towards Haruka. She wanted to say something else to here but she wasn't sure what to say.

"You should be more careful. I wouldn't want to run over such a pretty girl," Haruka said with a smile. Something about Usagi seemed really familiar to her. She felt like she knew her from somewhere and wanted to spend time with her to try and figure out where she knew her from. Usagi was about to walk off. "How about I give you a ride for nearly running you over?"

Usagi smiled and agreed to take Haruka up on her offer. She opened the passenger side door and got in. She fastened her seat belt.

"Where to?" asked Haruka as she put the car into gear.

Haruka and Usagi talked about general things. Haruka turned onto an empty road. The duo didn't get too far before they were interrupted. Sailor Lethe appeared in the middle of the road and stood there. "You have got to be kidding me!" Haruka exclaimed as she swerved to the side of the road to avoid hitting her. She didn't move at all as the car moved to avoid her. Once Haruka was able to move the car to the side of the road she quickly got out of the car.

"Are you crazy?" Haruka yelled as she approached the strange woman in a black dress.

The woman looked at Haruka and didn't say a word, instead she began to raise her arms in front of her forehead. That is when Usagi noticed the purple bracelet with the matching green bracelet. She was another senshi like Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion. This new person was after them. She couldn't stand by and do nothing this time.

"Haruka-san, be careful she's dangerous!" Usagi yelled a warning to prevent Haruka from advancing from her present location.

Sailor Lethe paid attention to Usagi for the first time, "how interesting. I didn't realize you were also here, Sailor Moon."

"…Sailor Moon?" Haruka repeated confused. She had heard that name somewhere before.

Usagi didn't waste any more time. "Moon Eternal, Make Up!" In an instant Usagi's body became a series of rainbow colors as a glowing crescent moon became visible on her forehead. Feathers flew around her body which later revealed a large set of feather wings on her back. The feathers traveled to different areas around her body which formed more clothes. Usagi spun around and her large feather weathers were replaced with a smaller pair of wings as she struck a pose.

Sailor Lethe turned her full attention to Sailor Moon. She knew her appearance was going to make it more difficult to carry out her mission.

"We were having a peaceful drive and you interrupted time for two people to catch up that haven't seen each other in a while! For love and justice a sailor suited pretty soldier, Sailor Moon! In the name of the Moon I'll punish you!"

Sailor Lethe smirked. "Do you really think you stand a chance against us Moon Princess? We are much stronger than ever before!" Sailor Lethe said as she gathered a ball of black energy in her right hand. Within a few seconds she was done collecting energy and threw it at Sailor Moon.

Sailor Moon quickly moved to the sit to dodge the blast of energy.

"You're not even the one I'm after today," said Sailor Lethe as she turned her attention to Haruka. "I'm after Uranus." She raised her bracelets again and let out a blast of golden energy in her direction.

Haruka froze. She saw the light heading to her and saw a flash of images when the same light was pointed at her before; she was next to Michiru. She tried to move out of the way but her legs seemed to be unresponsive.

"Dead Scream…"

A ball of purple energy seemed to rise up from the ground before it blasted the golden light to the side. Everyone turned to the direction where the energy came from. Another person joined the battle.

"The one who controls time, Sailor Pluto. I will not allow you to do what you wish with this love filled Earth!" Sailor Pluto exclaimed as she landed next to Sailor Moon. "She turned her attention to her and asked, "Sailor Moon, are you all right?"

Sailor Moon smiled in response. She turned her focus to the senshi before them.

"Who are you?" Asked Sailor Pluto, as she adjusted her grip on her staff.

"I'm not sure why you need to know my name even though I will destroy you soon enough," gloated Sailor Lethe. "But it you must I am Sailor Lethe, one of the most powerful animates."

"Just how many of you are there?" Sailor Moon asked confused. "It seems like every day I'm meeting someone new!"

"More than enough to overpower you," Sailor Lethe smiled. Having Sailor Moon and Sailor Pluto next to each other was blessing for her. It made everything much easier for her to use a more powerful attack against the two at the same time. "Galactica Myosotis Alpestris!"

Sailor Moon and Sailor Pluto didn't stand a chance against the large blast headed for them. They tried to avoid it but were still caught in part of the aftermath. This allowed Sailor Lethe to focus on her primary objective.

"It's a good thing you didn't run away!" Exclaimed Sailor Lethe gleefully as she fired off the same golden energy blast as before at Haruka.

This time Haruka tried to get out of the way of the attack heading towards her. She could run fast but not fast enough to avoid the attack. Haruka felt a lot of pain in her chest as golden energy seemed to radiate around her. The bars of energy spanned from the ground to over her head. Once the energy began to die down a tangerine colored flower appeared. The flower quickly opened and revealed a navy blue crystal. Haruka collapsed to the floor.

Sailor Lethe laughed as she gestured with an out stretched hand to the starseed. The starseed flew over to Sailor Lethe and hovered above her hand. A clear crystal appeared in her other hand. She waved the crystal over the starseed. Nothing happened. Sailor Lethe frowned. "This starseed is worthless."

"If it is worthless to you return it to us!" Pleaded Sailor Moon as she looked over at Haruka's body. It was becoming faint and was going to begin disappearing soon.

"Now why would I do that? After all one less senshi will make my life easier in the long run," Sailor Lethe said as she looked over at the duo. She moved the starseed closer to her body to make it more difficult for the others to take.

"NO!" Sailor Moon shouted as she summoned her tiare. The length increased as she began to power up an attack. "Silver Moon Crystal Power!" The light from the staff became brighter and brighter blinding Sailor Lethe.

Sailor Pluto took this opportunity to retrieve the starseed from Sailor Lethe. Sailor Lethe was eventually able to distance herself from the tiare and realized that she no longer possessed the starseed.

Sailor Pluto didn't waste any time returning Haruka's starseed. Haruka's body quickly returned to normal. Haruka started to get up with venom in her eyes. "How do you feel?" Sailor Pluto asked her.

"Angry." Haruka stated as she narrowed her eyes. She gestured with her hand and a purple wand with a dark blue crystal on top appeared.

Sailor Moon gasped at the sight of the object she was holding in her hand. It could only mean one thing.

"Uranus Crystal Power, Make Up!" Haruka crossed her arm threw the air as she turned into a circle. Her bodice appeared followed by golden energy rising from the ground. Sailor Uranus used her gloved hand to flip some of her hair out of her face just in time for lip gloss to appear on her lips. She spun and struck her signature pose.

Sailor Lethe looked at the three senshi before. Another senshi had awakened as she tried to take her starseed. She knew Sailor Chi would be upset but at least she knew that Sailor Uranus' starseed did not contain Chaos. "My task here is complete but I am sure we shall meet again," said Sailor Lethe as she disappeared.

"Haruka-san, I'm so glad you have your memories back!" Sailor Moon exclaimed as she ran up to her and hugged her.

Sailor Uranus laughed as she returned the hug. "What about the others?" Sailor Uranus asked as she looked at Sailor Pluto and Sailor Moon for answers.

"It is the three of us so far. The others haven't awakened," explained Sailor Pluto.

"And the Sailor Starlights," added Sailor Moon. "And there is more than one enemy. I was attacked by a different senshi at school yesterday."

"It seems they are after starseeds again. Do you know why?" Sailor Uranus asked as she tried to make sense of the day's events.

"I don't know. They seem to be looking for a particular starseed and yours wasn't it which means they are going to go after the others as well," said Sailor Pluto as she de-transformed into Setsuna.

Haruka and Usagi followed suit. Sailor Lethe seemed to be long gone.

"There isn't anything we can do about it now," said Haruka as she began to walk back to her convertible that was long forgotten. "Kitten, I should take you back home. It is already getting late."

Usagi nodded her head in agreement and said her goodbyes to Setsuna before getting into the car and left with Haruka. Usagi was quiet for a few minutes as she thought things over. She looked over at Haruka and noticed that she seemed lost in her own thoughts.

"Michiru-san doesn't remember does she?" asked Usagi as she waited for a response from Haruka.

Haruka sighed in response. "This morning neither one of us remembered how we began being roommates in the first place. I doubt she is going to have her memories back that quickly," said Haruka with pain in her voice.

"It's the same way and me and Mamo-chan. He doesn't remember who am I…" Usagi said as her voice trailed off.

"I'm sure he will remember you soon," said Haruka with a smile. "No one can ever truly forget you."

Usagi smiled at Haruka's comments. She knew there was truth to her words and things with Mamoru would be the same once more. She couldn't wait. Usagi's thoughts wandered to the last time she was able to spend time with Mamoru.

"Speak of the devil," said Haruka as she recognized Mamoru's familiar green blazer. Haruka pulled over to the side of the street. "Perhaps you should try jogging his memory?" Asked Haruka with a wink.

Usagi nodded her head and she unfastened her seat belt. She opened the car door and got out. She had a minute or so until Mamoru would pass her on the street. She racked her brain as she tried to think of what she could say to him. He was only feet away from her now. She took a deep breath as he grew closer. "Have we met before?" Usagi asked him when he was in earshot.

Mamoru laughed at her question. "Aren't you the girl that asked me what time it was yesterday? You are a strange girl Odango Atama." Mamoru said as he continued to walk to his destination.

"Are you sure we haven't met before?" Usagi asked him. Mamoru shrugged his shoulders and continued to walk away.

For Usagi it was a small victory. He remembered that he saw her yesterday. He had some idea who she was and for her it was progress. It filled her with some hope that he would one day remember everything and they could go back to how everything was in the past. Usagi wondered what she could do to speed up his memories but she knew there was nothing she could do about it now. She wasn't too far from her house.


Usagi dropped her book bag on the floor in her room. Usagi plopped down on her bed as Luna walked over to her. "Usagi-chan what happened today?" Luna asked as she sat down next to Usagi.

"I almost got run over by car," Usagi began to explain before she was cut off by Luna.

"You what?" Luna exclaimed as she raised her voice. "You can't be so careless!"

"Relax Luna. Haruka-san was driving. We talked for a while and then we were attacked by another Sailor Senshi. I think her name was Sailor Lethe. Sailor Pluto helped me fight. Sailor Lethe took Haruka-san's starseed but Sailor Pluto was able to get it back and then Haruka-san transformed into Sailor Uranus!" Usagi quickly finished with a smile.

"She was after Haruka-san's starseed? That seems odd. I don't understand why they are after starseeds again," said Luna as she tried to figure out what the new enemy's plan was.

"But she has her memories back," said Usagi as she began to undo one of her odangos. "I hope the others start remembering soon. We could use all the help we can get."

"They have been attacking ever day so far so you will need to be on guard tomorrow Usagi-chan. The enemy will attack again. Keep an eye on the other senshi since we don't know who they will target," said Luna as she jumped down from the bed. After thinking things over for a moment she said, "I am going to visit Artemis. I can see how Minako-chan is and inform him of the new updates."

"Usagi!" Usagi's mother called from downstairs. Usagi opened her door and responded back. "You have a telephone call from a young man!" She said with excitement in her voice.

Usagi quickly came down the stairs thinking it was Mamoru. She picked up the telephone and let out an enthusiastic "Hi!" Her voice wasn't quite as cheerful as she realized it wasn't Mamoru but Seiya. Usagi had to be careful what she said on the telephone since she knew her mother was just around the corner listening.

Usagi informed him she was doing okay and she saw Haruka earlier. She carefully told him they ran into trouble but Haruka is better now and could help out in the future if there is trouble. The telephone call did not last much longer.

As soon as Usagi was off the telephone her mother wanted to know everything about the boy she just spoke to. "Who is he? When did you meet him?" Ikkuko asked questions rapidly at her daughter.

"A boy interested in Usagi? Yeah right," Shingo said he walked into the kitchen. "He must be really desperate!"

"For your information that was Seiya from the Three Lights!" Usagi realized she shouldn't have said anything since it would only result in more questions from her mother but it was too late.

"Seiya Kou! How did you meet him! The singer? How could you not tell your mother sooner?" Exclaimed Ikkuko as she hovered over her daughter as she demanded an answer. "We have to have him over for dinner!"

This was not the response Usagi was expecting. She wasn't sure how she would ever be able to get out of it. Her mother could be very persistent.


Later that evening several Sailor Senshi stood before another young woman with long blonde hair. Her face was hidden from view underneath a black veil. She wore a floor length black dress.

She did not look happy at the others before her. "You must find the correct starseed as quickly as possible. Once Chaos is released from the starseed I can continue the conquest of the galaxy. We will succeed where Galaxia failed."

"Which Sailor Senshi should we target next?" Sailor Chi asked as she bowed before their leader.

"All of them will need to be checked since Chaos passed through many star seeds at the end of the battle against Sailor Moon. It is possible Sailor Galaxia may still have part of Chaos inside of her. Though if that was the case it would most likely overcome her quite quickly since she wasn't able to control it last time," she explained to them as she played with a brooch on her dress.

"We will find the correct starseed. We have a target prepared for tomorrow and will begin to locate her in the morning," said Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon.

"Very well," she said. "I must return as my power is still very weak. We shall be in touch." The woman departed.

"So that is our leader?" Asked a surprised Sailor Phi. "I've never seen her before. Why is her power so weak?"

"The majority of her powers are trapped within a starseed. Once we find the right starseed it will free chaos," Explained Sailor Chi to the other senshi.


The end of the second part! Who is the mystery person with the starseed they are after? Why isn't Usagi hounding Mamoru like she did in the R season of Sailor Moon? After re-watching part of the original season I remembered how much of a jerk Mamoru was to Usagi so it seemed only appropriate for him to still be a jerk. Who is next? Stay tuned to the next part! Act 3: Kino Makoto. Available on March 10th.
