"Aqua, you hungry?"Setsuna asked. "Yeah, what about you Mika-chan?"Aqua asked, looking down at the little girl. "YEAH! Mika-chan wants Mcdonalds!"Mika replied, bouncing up and down happily. Then, they heard the faint beating of feet coming towards their house and a small voice going, "ChibiChibi ChibiChibi ChibiChibi ChibiChibi ChibiChibi!" until a hard knocking on the door was heard.
When they opened the door a very out of breath ChibiChibi fell through the doorway. "Chibi-chan, what is it?"Aqua asked in worry. "ChibiChibi."ChibiChibi replied, handing her a small letter in a black envolope being closed with a red heart. "Arigato Chibi-chan, you better be getting back before Galaxia gets worried."Aqua said, taking the evolope.
"ChibiChibi!"ChibiChibi replied, floating into the air and teleporting away. "Ok, let's see what this is."Aqua said, opening the note and starting to read it:
Dear Sailor Senshi,
I'm sure by now you've figured out who this is: Its me, Megumi. That Megumi you delt with three years ago was just a shadow clone, but the real Megumi is still alive. If you want to fight me come to the site of the final battle.
Megumi "I should've known that that one you fought was a clone!"Haruka cried. "So, are we going to go?"Michiru asked. "Yes, but were taking the girls with us."Aqua said, pulling out her cell phone. When they arrived at the meeting place there was the girls.
"Wait, how are we going to beat them if we can't henshin?"Mitsuko asked. "Well, Mika and Chibiusa can. And the rest of us will just have to count on skills and a whole lot of luck."Aqua said, looking down at her still inactive brooch. "Ok girls, good luck. Sailor Teleport!"Kit and Luna cried, activating the teleportation and the girls whizzing away. "Good luck minna."Kit thought.
When they arrived at the half torn apart castle and stepped over the threshold. When they arrived to the scene of the final battle their stood the clone Shintennou, Beryl, Terith, Wiseman, Esmurade, Beruch, Cooan, Petz, Sapphir, the other members of the Black Moon Clan, and all of them being led by Megumi. "Hello Sailor Senshi, or should I say Un-Senshi."Megumi said, noticing they weren't henshined. "Who cares if we can't henshin?! We'll still beat you Megumi!"Aqua cried, a flare of pure anger in her eyes. "Ok, go!"Megumi cried, giving her fighters the ok.
"Let's go minna!"Aqua cried, giving them the ok. Obviously the inner senshi went straight for the clones of their boyfriends, Trinity went straight for Terith, Usagi went straight for Beryl, Chibi Moon went for Wiseman, the Outers went for Esmurade, Beruch, Cooan, and Petz, Chibi Aquarius went for Sappir, the Starlights went for the other members of the Black Moon Clan (Mitsuko using her giant star boomarange to hit every one of them she could hit), and Aqua was only looking for one person: Megumi. She finally found her in the center of the battle standing there as if waiting for her to attack her. She lunged straight at her and started throwing every ick and punch she had learned from Makoto, Rei, Haruka, Setsuna, Naoko, Shachi, and Usagi had taught her yet she wasn't scoring any hits.
"What?"Aqua said, wondering why she couldn't hit her. That was her fatal mistake. Then, Megumi teleported behind her and you heard her voice ring out "STOP!" When everyone turned to her faces of triumph appeared on the enemy's faces and shock and fear and anger appeared on the senshi's: Megumi was holding Aqua hostage.
"Now, I will finally be rid of the White Moon Princess that caused me so much pain!"Megumi said, calling a sword into her free hand. She was just about to swing when a young female voice rang out, "Get away from my Aunt!" Then, none other than Trinity's future daughter Stella appeared. "A little brat? Why should I listen to a little brat like you?"Megumi asked, glaring at the intruder.
"This is why-SUN POWER!"Stella cried back, shooting a bright yellow beam out of her hands that knocked Megumi away from Aqua. "Arigato Stella-chan."Aqua said, smiling at her cousin's daughter. "No prob, but now's the time for you all to gain your true powers back."Stella said, turning to the rest of them. "You mean-?"Usagi started but being stopped by Stella.
"Yes, its time for you, Aqua, and Trinity to get your Cosmos forms and the other Senshi to get their Eternal forms."Stella finished. "Well, how do we gain them?"Aqua asked, frantic to have some kind of weapon. "Just throw these into the air and cry out your planet's power."Stella replied, holding out her hands and their henshin items appearing. "I must leave now, good luck."Stella said, disappearing in a flash of bright yellow light.
Then, Megumi finally managed to stand back up. "I'll get you!"Megumi cried. "NOW!"Aqua cried. They all threw the items into the air and cried, "Silver Moon Crystal Power!" "Moon Crystal Power!" "Moon Crisis Power!" "Mercury Power!" "Mars Power!" "Jupiter Power!" "Venus Power!" "Pluto Power!" "Neptune Power!" "Uranus Power!" "Saturn Power!" "Sun Power!" and they all floated into the air in front of their henshin items and watched in awe as they shined and turned into different brooches while the Starlights and Mika watched in awe.
They started glowing their respective colors and got into a strange postition. "This power I feel."Aqua thought. "The power we've been needing all along."Hotaru thought. "And the power has been returned to us."Setsuna thought.
Suddenly their eyes flew open, they grabbed the brooches, and cried, "Cosmos Planet Power, Make-Up!" "Pink Moon Crystal Power, Make-Up!" "Mercury Crystal Power, Make-Up!" "Mars Crystal Power, Make-Up!" "Jupiter Crystal Power, Make-Up!" "Venus Crystal Power, Make-Up!" "Pluto Crystal Power, Make-Up!" "Neptune Crystal Power, Make-Up!" "Uranus Crystal Power, Make-Up!" "Saturn Crystal Power, Make-Up!" "Sun Planet Power, Make-Up!" "Shining Moon Power, Make-Up!" Then, in flashes of all colors their stood the Eternal Sailor Senshi led by their leaders: Sailor Cosmos and Sailor Sun Cosmos.
"Wait, where's Aqua?"Setsuna asked, looking around. Then, they saw something that shocked them: Aqua was standing there in her new fuku, glowing a light blue, with her eyes closed. Then, her eyes opened and she said in a serene voice, "I am the guardian of Earth's second moon that my mother once ruled over and my daughter after me will one day rule: I am Sailor Shining Moon with the powers of all Senshi in the world and in the name of the New Moon, I will punish you!"She said, holding her new rod out in front of her.
"Sailor Shining Moon?!?! So you've finally inherited your sniveling mother's powers have you? No matter HAH!"Megumi said, sending a blast of black lighting at her. She simply held up her rod which started glowing in Michiru's power color, cried, "Deep Submerge!" and sent Michiru's attack hurtling at the lighting which sucked it up and disappeared. "How did you do that Shining Moon?!?!"Usagi cried, turning to her. That was the first time they got a good look at her fuku: It looked just like Usagi's except for these differences: Her ribbon was red, her collar was green, her odango pins were bright orange, her gloves were pink and fading into white, the center pleat in her skirt was half aqua and the other half navy blue, her shoes were black and purple, her rod was deep blue, most likely all their power colors, her odangos were in the shape of half hearts that folded themselves into her hair, and her brooch was an eight-pointed star with a cresent moon hooked to the bottom and hair pins where Usagi's usually are that were two pearls with hearts in the center.
"I have the power to use any Senshi's attack, for instance."Aqua said, waving her wand in front of her. "Star Sensetive Inferno!"She cried, shooting Star Healer's attack out of her rod and hitting Megumi hard. "GO MOMMA!"Mika cried, gaining a smile from Aqua. Then, Megumi did something unexpected: She sent her strongest attack at Mika. "Dark Power Transformation!" "Mika-chan abunai!"Minako cried, running over to her: She knew that if that attack hit Mika she would be turned evil and she didn't want to go through that again so she did the only thing possible: Shoved Mika out of the way and took the attack for her. "MINAKO-CHAN!"Aqua screamed, watching with tears flowing down her cheeks as her cousin floated into the air, had black lightning shot into her, her fuku colors change to black and silver, and float to the ground with an evil grin on her face.
She turned to Megumi, bowed to her, and said, "Sailor Dark Love at your service." "HAHAHA! We have one of the strongest senshi in our control! Goodbye Sailor Senshi!"Megumi said. And with that, they all telported away with Minako in their grasp and they were telported right outside Juuban Park in their civilian forms. "No, Minako-chan. This can't be happening just when everything was normal again."Aqua said, falling to her knees and sobbing.
"Gomenasai."A small voice said, causing everyone to look at Mika who had her head down silently crying. "Its my fault, if I haden't been there Megumi wouldn't have tried to attack me then Auntie Minako-chan wouldn't have been turned evil, gomenasai."Mika sobbed. "Mika, its nto your fault-"Aqua started, trying to comfort her. "No it is! I'm leaving so I won't cause any more pain!"Mika said, turning and running into Juuban Park just as it started to rain.
"You guys go home, I'll go get Mika-chan."Aqua said. "How do you know where she's heading?"Haruka asked. "I just do."Aqua said. And with that, she rushed into the park after Mika.
Great chapter, though.
