Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: Chaos Theory

Act 11: To Defy Destiny

By: Sora Kazeno

It is time to learn just how evil Chaos can be when he is in control of Sailor Cosmos. Enjoy!


Sailor Cosmos looked at the senshi before her and laughed. The others were in disbelief of what just happened. Rei preventing Setsuna from transforming into Sailor Pluto made it that much easier to pull off her plan to transform into Sailor Cosmos.

"We were too late…" Galaxia said out loud and she tried desperately to put together a plan to stop Chaos.

"I wonder what I should do first with these new found powers…" Sailor Cosmos said as she twisted her staff around in her hand. She didn't speak for a moment. She loved to see the others squirm in her presence. An idea dawned on her. It would give her a chance to demonstrate the limitlessness of her powers and cause them more pain. "It is such a heavy burden to bare knowing your future," Sailor Cosmos said with an evil smirk as she glanced at Setsuna. After a pause she continued, "image knowing what is supposed to happen and what you have to do already mapped out before you. It takes the fun out of things. You already know what is to happen and the consequences if you do not take the prescribed path. Image not being able to change it…." Sailor Cosmos trailed off as she looked at Setsuna as if to challenge her.

Setsuna couldn't hold back anymore. "Pluto Crystal Power, Make Up!" Swirls of purple surrounded Setsuna as she transformed into Sailor Pluto, her staff gripped tightly in her hand.

All eyes were on Sailor Pluto. "I will not let you alter time," Sailor Pluto said in a menacing tone. "The past or the future."

Sailor Cosmos glared at her. "Is that a challenge?" She retorted back. "It would be useless to change the past and give up all I have already accomplished. So that only leaves me with one option."

Sailor Pluto's staff began to glow as she prepared to open the gates of time if she needed to.

Sailor Cosmos swung her staff in the air as it also began to glow. "Are you fast enough to keep up?" She taunted her. Sailor Cosmos' body began to sparkle and then quickly vanished from sight.

A large door opened behind Sailor Pluto and she disappeared within ten seconds after Sailor Cosmos.

"What is going on?" Minako asked as she looked at the other senshi in confusion. "You don't really think she would try to change the future?"

"Which future was she talking about?" Taiki asked the group of girls. "She said something about knowing your future. Does Usagi-chan know her future?"

"Oh God," said Rei as felt a knot developing in her stomach. She looked over at Mamoru.

Mamoru was silent for a moment as he closed his eyes. "She has to be talking about Crystal Tokyo."

"Crystal Tokyo?" Princess Kakyuu asked with a questioning tone.

Before anyone could explain the story of Crystal Tokyo a pale pink cloud appeared overhead. The cloud opened up and pink energy emerged from the cloud landing on the ground. A figure emerged from the energy. She was fairly young. She wore a white flowing dress similar to the dress Sailor Moon had worn earlier. She had red eyes and her pink hair was in cone shaped odangos.

"Chibi Usa-chan!" Hotaru exclaimed as she rushed forward to greet her friend.

Before Hotaru could reach Chibi Usa she burst into tears. Upon reaching her Hotaru hugged her tightly. The rest of the girls quickly surrounded her. Princess Kakyuu and the Three Lights hesitated for a moment trying to make sense of the scene. Since the others were all surrounding the young girl they slower moved closer to her.

After a moment Hotaru asked Chibi Usa, "what happened?" The girl's sobs increased. "We want to help you but we can't if we don't know what's wrong."

Chibi Usa slowly broke the hug she received from Hotaru as she tried to look at the others. Tears continued to stream down her cheeks. "She killed my parents!" She shouted as her tears started to turn into rage. She wiped a few tears from her eyes and saw Mamoru for the first time. She began to cry again and ran over to him.

Mamoru tried his best to console her. "Puu saved me at the last moment and sent me back here."

Haruka walked over to Chibi Usa and kneed down on the pavement in order to be eye level with the girl. "Chibi Usa-chan, what did this person look like?" Haruka was afraid of the answer she was about to receive but she had to know.

"She wore a white sailor fuku with a cape…" Chibi Usa said as her voice began to trail off.

An evil laugh seemed to echo out of nowhere. Gold lighting appeared a short distance away from the others. Once the light vanished Sailor Cosmos stood there.

"YOU!" Chibi Usa screamed as she saw the woman that had just murdered her parents in front of her. Chibi Usa stood up feeling a sudden surge of confidence. "Just wait until Sailor Moon shows up! She will stop you!"

No one said anything for a moment. Chibi Usa looked at the others surrounding her for reassurance but she received none. She felt a lump form in her throat as she realized for the first time Usagi was not standing with them. Chibi Usa looked at everyone confused and then turned to face Sailor Cosmos again.

Sailor Cosmos laughed at the little girl. "You haven't realized it yet," she said as she smiled at the girl's misfortune.

Mamoru decided it was best if he broke the news to Chibi Usa. He placed a hand on her shoulder to gain her attention. "Chibi Usa," he said, "that is this timeline's…Usako." He finished. As he spoke those words he felt like a knife was going through his heart.

"I don't believe you!" Chibi Usa shouted at him in disbelief. She refused to believe that Usagi could do something so horrible.

"I'll make it easy for you to understand," Sailor Cosmos taunted Chibi Usa as her Sailor Cosmos fuku reverted back to Eternal Sailor Moon's fuku. There were a few differences. The ten pointed star on her forehead rather than a symbol of a crescent moon and her hair was still in heart shaped odangos in a silver hue rather than blonde.

"No…" Chibi Usa said softly as she looked over the woman before her. She didn't understand how she could kill her parents. How could someone as pure as Usagi kill her future self and Mamoru? She shook her head as she tried to process the information she had just received.

A large thud sounded behind the group. They quickly turned around saw a purplish haze of energy disappear. Sailor Pluto stood there panting. She had tried her best to stop Sailor Cosmos but she had arrived too late. Sailor Cosmos powers seem to be limitless and her powers paled in comparison.

Haruka couldn't take it anymore. She had all the information she needed. She exchanged a glance with Michiru.

Michiru sighed but knew Haruka was right and nodded her head.

"Princess or no Princess, you've become a threat to our solar system," Haruka said as she summoned her crystal wand. Next to her Michiru also held her crystal wand.

"Uranus Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Neptune Crystal Power, Make Up!"

Haruka and Michiru felt as if they were moving in slow motion while they transformed. This was something they had dreaded ever since Chaos took control over Sailor Moon. Having to battle their own princess in order to protect the solar system.

Sailor Pluto moved forward to join the two newly transformed senshi. Hotaru watched her companions for a moment and knew her duty was to join them as well. "I'm sorry Chibi Usa-chan," Hotaru said as she pulled out her own purple wand. She had to stand with the other Outer Senshi. "Saturn Crystal Power, Make Up!" Dark shades of purple energy surrounded Hotaru's body as she transformed into Sailor Saturn.

Sailor Saturn swung her glaive in front of her and pointed it at Sailor Cosmos as if to issue a challenge. "We will defend this galaxy from all evil, regardless of what form it takes."

Sailor Cosmos narrowed her eyes at Sailor Saturn. "Are you challenging me little girl?"

As a response to her statement, Sailor Uranus attacked her. "World Shaking!"

A golden sphere of energy rose up from the ground and headed in the direction of Sailor Cosmos. Sailor Cosmos placed her staff in front of her and the star inside the crystal began to glow. Sailor Uranus's attack moved to the right side as she swung her staff. The attack circled around the back of her and then around to her left side and continued on at the Outer Senshi with one twist. The attack had been powered up with dark energy that crackled around the sphere.

The Outer Senshi were so surprised by the move and the speed of the attack they were powerless to stop it and were knocked off their feet. They landed hard a few feet back.

"Surely that isn't the best you can do?" She asked them looking bored.

"Such power," Sailor Neptune said as she struggled to sit up.

After seeing the actions of the Outer Senshi Chibi Usa had made up her mind. She pulled out her transformation broach. "Moon Crisis, Make Up!" Dark pink ribbons began to flow from her chest as they reformed in a pink collared sailor fuku. A three color skirt of white, yellow and pink appeared along with pink boots, and white gloves with a pink accent. A tiara replaced the crescent moon on her forehead as jewels appeared in her odangos, pearl and feathered hair ornaments and crescent shaped earrings. She struck the same pose Sailor Moon had countless times. She couldn't bring herself to say she would punish her in the name of the moon.

Sailor Cosmos looked at Sailor Chibi Moon. "This brings backs memories," she said as she eyed the youngest of the Sailor Senshi. "Now what to do with you…" her voice trailed off as she weighted her options. "I could kill you… but what would be the point in that since you're only going to fade away?" Sailor Cosmos said as she tilted her head to the side.

Sailor Chibi Moon gasped as she listened to the words Sailor Cosmos spoke. She couldn't believe how cruel the person in front of her had become. "You can't be Usagi!"


Usagi's head snapped up when she heard her voice. "Chibi Usa!" She called out as she tried to stretch the golden bars of energy that held her prisoner.


For a brief moment Sailor Cosmos eyes were no longer the dull shade of blue but the normal shade of Usagi's. Sailor Cosmos closed her eyes and dropped her staff which clattered to the floor as a crescent moon appeared on her forehead. "Animates!" She shouted. A few flashes of black appeared around her as the animates gathered before the senshi for the first time with their new leader.

Sailor Cosmos slowly raised her head and cried out in pain as a crescent moon lingered on her forehead before it reverted back to a star. Her right hand glowed as her staff picked itself off the ground and back into her hand. "Damn this Moon Princess," Sailor Cosmos cursed as she fought for control. She turned to the animates that surrounded her, "take care of them." She turned and began to walk away from everyone. She quickly disappeared from sight.

The girls knew there was only one thing they could do at this point.

"Mercury Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Mars Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Jupiter Crystal Power, Make Up!"

"Venus Crystal Power, Make Up!"

Mamoru didn't shout a transformation phrase but rather pulled out a rose out of thin air and transformed in Tuxedo Kamen.

"They need our help more than ever," said Princess Kakyuu as she directed the Three Lights to transform.

"Fighter Star Power, Make Up!"

"Maker Star Power, Make Up!"

"Healer Star Power, Make Up!"

All the senshi faced off for battle. Galaxia had also transformed in Sailor Galaxia. She decided to try and collect their bracelets one more time, "I should have taken your bracelets when I had the chance," she told the animates as she out raised her right hand in their direction. Her hand glowed for a moment and each of the animates bracelets glowed for a few seconds and then stopped.

Sailor Chi laughed at Sailor Galaxia's efforts. "You didn't really think it work, did you? It didn't work the first time and won't work no matter how many times you try! We follow a new master now and our power comes from her. She is much more powerful than you!" Sailor Chi lunged forward at Sailor Galaxia to strike her. Sailor Galaxia summon a golden whip to strike her but Sailor Chi easily dodged to the side.

Sailor Phi looked over at the Outer Senshi as she said, "we have some unfinished business." She gathered energy in her hands prepared to strike but Sailor Pluto was faster.

"Dead Scream…"

Sailor Lethe and Sailor Mnemosyne looked at each other and nodded their heads. They combined their powers and attacked the Inner Senshi and Tuxedo Kamen. Tuxedo Kamen stood in from of Sailor Chibi Moon to protect her. Sailor Jupiter was the first to strike back.

"Jupiter Oak Evolution!"

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon eyed up the Sailor Starlights. She still held a resentment against them for preventing her from checking Sailor Moon's starseed. If she had succeeded she would have received all the praise from the master and the battle would have ended before it ever truly began. She summoned her black flames and readied her own attack. She never had the chance to attack as small circles of red energy began to surround her.

Princes Kakyuu had her eyes closed in deep concentration as she began to purify Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon. Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon screamed as her golden bracelets began to disappear. Once they completed disappeared so did Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon since she couldn't exist without a starseed.

Sailor Chi witnessed the events and vowed her revenge against Princess Kakyuu and her Starlights at a later time. "We're leaving," Sailor Chi directed the other senshi. "Chaos needs our help," she lied using the excuse to gracefully bow out of the battle.


Usagi looked up from her prison when she heard a noise. It was Chaos. He had returned. Usagi jumped up extremely angry. "What did you do? Why did I hear Chibi Usa?" Usagi demanded as she ran to the bars trying to get closer to Chaos.

"I had to show them the extent of my power and I would have killed her if you hadn't gotten in my way," Chaos snarled at her. "How can you still be strong enough to severe my control periodically?"

"You tried to kill Chibi Usa?" Usagi asked with fresh tears streaming down her face.

"I thought she would want to join her parents in the afterlife. I suggest you learn to behave or I will not hesitate to kill whom you cherish the most."

"… you killed Chibi Usa's parents…" Usagi whimpered as she pictured herself as Neo Queen Serenity and Mamoru as King Endymion.

"Look at it this way. I freed you from your destiny. Now you don't have to follow what was laid out before you. But if you do not cooperate I will kill your love."

Usagi gasped at his threat and remained silent. She didn't know what to say or what to do. She collapsed to her knees once more as the hopelessness began to set in.


Sailor Saturn looked around at the other senshi. There was a part to her vision that she had not told the others earlier. "Everyone," she said as gathered their attention. "As it stands right now we do not have enough power to stop Sailor Cosmos. However, we have not awakened as the true princesses from our respective planets."

Sailor Chibi Moon gasped at Sailor Saturn's words. She thought back to when she heard words to similar when they fought against the Mirror Parodies. It was right before Sailor Moon used her eternal powers for the first time.

"Like Sailor Moon we have extraordinary powers once we fully awaken. Without those powers I don't see a way we can stop Chaos and help our Princes," Sailor Saturn finished explaining.

"What are you saying Hotaru?" Sailor Uranus asked as she tried to understand what she was being told.

"What do we have to do?" Sailor Neptune asked her as she took a few steps forward. "We have to find a way to stop this Chaos."

"We must each journey to the original planet of our birth and find the missing piece to our powers and then we can awaken as our true selves," said Sailor Saturn as she looked at other senshi.

"We have powers like Eternal Sailor Moon?" Sailor Mercury asked. Sailor Saturn nodded her head in agreement to Sailor Mercury's statement.

"But who is going to protect the planet while we are gone?" Sailor Venus wondered out loud.

"We will," Sailor Star Fighter said as she looked at her fellow Starlights for support.

"We don't want to see this planet destroyed now that we know we are fighting Chaos," added Sailor Star Maker.

Sailor Star Healer smirked at Sailor Star Maker's remarks who had earlier in the week been anxious to return to their home planet. "I guess it can't be helped," she added with a wink. "You're going to need all the help you can get."

Sailor Uranus didn't say anything. Once again she was relying on the Starlights to protect the planet in her absence. She knew after this she would have no choice but to finally accept them regardless of how close they became to her Princess.

"I can help each of you transport to your home planet," Sailor Galaxia offered, "however, you will have to use your new found power to return to Earth. I have no way of knowing where you are on the planet and when you will be ready to return."

Sailor Chibi Moon collapsed to her knees. "I don't feel too good…" she said as her body began to flicker.

"But her starseed was not taken," Princess Kakyuu said as she approached the younger girl trying to understand the cause to her ailment.

Tuxedo Kamen slowly helped Sailor Chibi Moon sit up. He knew what was happening to her and it gave him a sense of dread.

Princess Kakyuu lowered herself to the ground until she was level with Sailor Chibi Moon to ask her next question. "Who is this beautiful young lady?"

"I'm Tsukino Usagi," Sailor Chibi Moon answered without missing a beat.

Princess Kakyuu was taken aback at her response. "Tsukino…Usagi?" She repeated confused that this young girl had the same name as Sailor Moon.

"Chibi Usa-chan is from the thirtieth century," Sailor Saturn began to clarify to Princess Kakyuu. "She is the future daughter of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen."

That one sentence seemed to knock all the air out of Sailor Star Fighter's lungs. She had a future daughter. This changed everything.

Sailor Star Maker and Sailor Star Healer looked at Sailor Star Fighter for a moment before anyone spoke. Sailor Star Maker recovered from the new information first, "so that is what Sailor Cosmos meant about already knowing the future."

"Small Lady is from a possible a future…" Sailor Pluto said speaking up for the first time since she emerged from the Time Streams. "But because of recent events… it is only a matter of time… until she is gone."

"No one deserves that," Princess Kakyuu said with much sadness in her voice.

"We're ready to go. We have to hurry for Chibi Usa-chan's sake… " Sailor Mars said as her voice grew softer. "And for the sake of the rest of the universe."

"We'll be back before you know it Chibi Usa-chan." Sailor Saturn said as she tried to reassure the young girl even though she knew she was lying to face. She knew by the time she would return Chibi Usa would be gone. She felt her eyes began to tear so she quickly turned away trying to avoid Sailor Chibi Moon from seeing her cry.

"Stay strong," Sailor Pluto said as she tried to give her a hopeful smile.

Sailor Chibi Moon smiled at the two of them in response. Her voice was very faint when she spoke, "Save Sailor Moon." She said as she closed her eyes. She felt so tired.

"Gather in a circle around me in the order your planet revolved around the sun," Sailor Galaxia directed. The other senshi silently did what they were told. "Now join hands and summon your power."

"Mercury Crystal Power!"

"Venus Crystal Power!"

"Mars Crystal Power!"

"Jupiter Crystal Power!"

"Saturn Crystal Power!"

"Uranus Crystal Power!"

"Neptune Crystal Power!"

"Pluto Crystal Power!"

As each senshi summoned their energy their bodies began to glow and energy began to radiate upwards. Sailor Galaxia closed her eyes and golden energy began to radiate from her as well. The nine senshi glowed brighter and then took off like a comet leaving the Earth leaving those of the Kinmoku star system, Sailor Chibi Moon and Tuxedo Kamen on Earth.

Sailor Star Maker looked over at Princess Kakyuu and asked, "the power they seek, will it really make a difference against Sailor Cosmos?"

"One can hope," Princess Kakyuu said softy as she turned to face the Sailor Starlights. "Right now they are our Light of Hope."


Sailor Mercury looked around at her surroundings. They were vastly different than what she was used to on the Earth. She was surrounded by a series of craters and the temperature became noticeably warmer. She could begin to feel sweat rolling down her forehead. She brushed it to the side with the back of gloved hand. She tapped on her earring to summon her visor to see if she could locate anything in her immediate area that could help her in her quest. She then pulled out her minicomputer and began to type on the keys the best she could. After a few minutes she turned around and began to head down into a large crater.


Sailor Venus looked at the clouds above her. It was very humid and had a yellowish tint. She looked around for signs of life but was not able to find any. A few drops of water landed on her skin and it made her jump a little bit. The water pricked her skin a little but it was nothing significant. This sparked a memory for her that she experienced before. She pictured herself running threw a field with rain landing on her but with the same prickling sense. It was during a time when the planet was alive with life and energy. Centuries ago before the atmosphere began to change. She looked ahead at a large volcano she assumed to be Maat Mons.


Sailor Mars let out a deep breath as she began to take in her surroundings. She felt like she in a red tinted desert. It didn't take too long for pebbles from the soil to become stuck in her high heels. She knew this was going to be a long walk bur first she had to figure where she needed to go. Ahead of her was a large crater she assumed to be Bonneville. She closed her eyes and focused her energies to determine which the best path to take was.


Sailor Jupiter felt a large gust of wind blow past her. She assumed she was near the Dark Spot on the planet. She felt a sudden chill as the wind continued to whip past her. In the distance she saw a very large tree in the distance. She smiled at the sight. She felt in her gut that was where she needed to head.


Sailor Saturn shivered at the drastic change in temperature. She thought back to the display she saw at the planetarium that discussed Saturn's ring made of mostly water ice they called it. She could see the rings belonging to the planet everywhere she looked. It was breath taking. She could see what see believed to be a few stars peeking out between the massive rings of the planet. Her thoughts than began to focus on Chibi Usa.


Sailor Chibi Moon felt weaker and weaker. It just like the time she and Hotaru had fought against Queen Nehellenia right before she disappeared in Usagi's arms. She smiled when she realized she was going to disappear in Mamoru's arms. "Mamo-chan…" Sailor Chibi Moon said as she struggled to speak. "You have… to save… Usagi…" Sailor Chibi Moon's eyes closed a final time as she completely disappeared. Tuxedo Kamen dropped his arms to the side as he was no longer supporting her weight.

Tuxedo Kamen didn't move for a moment as he stared at the ground in front of him. After a moment he abruptly stood up. He began to walk away and paused for a moment. "We'll talk again tomorrow," he said as he briefly turned around to face Princess Kakyuu and the Sailor Starlights. Tears were threatening to fall at any moment. He turned his back to them once more and continued to walk away.

Sailor Star Healer turned to her Princess and said, "are things really that hopeless?"

"We should leave as well," Princess Kakyuu said as she directed the Sailor Starlights.


Sailor Uranus couldn't believe the lack of light. It was nearly pitch black. The stars provided some light. Luckily some of the moons of Uranus were lighting up the night sky. One of the moons seemed to be cut in half. She could only assume the moon was cut in half due to the ring surrounding the planet. She was halfway up a large mountain. She was glad to be on the rocky area of the planet rather than the areas that were surrounded by ice. She shivered and recognized she was on the hemisphere that was facing away from the sun. She decided the best way to head was up. If she could have a better view of her surroundings it would be easier for her to determine her plan of attack.


Sailor Neptune couldn't believe her eyes nor her ears. Everything she had read about the planet she had discussed how the planet was considered to be an "ice giant" covered primarily in ice. Yet she was looking at a body of water. She was standing on the sand and waves were crashing into the sand. The water sprayed her legs as she tried to overcome the shock of what she was experiencing. Ahead of her she could see water as far as the eye could see. She looked down the shoreline and saw a beautiful castle. She gasped when she saw it. There was no mistake. It was a castle she had seen in her dreams. It was her home on this planet. She didn't hesitate anymore. She headed toward the castle that seemed to be drawing faint light from the sun.


Sailor Pluto took a deep breath as she opened her eyes. She opened her eyes and observed a surface with very little ice and a rocky terrain. It was not surprising to see a lack of ice due to the position of the planet in its revolution around the sun. As the planet moves further from the sun the ice will return and it will become a frozen tundra. She looked down on the rocks she could feel underneath her boot. She recognized the rocks were in a pattern. She looked up and realized she was standing on a cobblestone road. She smiled at the thought of her task being this simple. She followed the road ahead of her. Her thoughts focused on finding a way to separate Chaos from Sailor Cosmos and then restoring Sailor Moon. The task ahead of her was going to be long and difficult but she had endured a lot in her time and this was not exception.


The story is going to seem to slow down a bit for a little while since each senshi needs to receive their new powers. But Chaos isn't going to wait for them to return. In the next act there will be more Three Lights and Mamoru as well as the girls on their quests. Mamoru finally starts to do something! Stay tuned on April 23rd for Act 12: Battle Among the Stars
