Senshi Outfit: Dolls by Mimi
Sakura: "...white leotard with a silver skirt that was rimmed with black around the edges. She had a silver sailor collar with black bows on the front and back. In the center of her front bow was a silver 8-pointed star broach with a crescent moon in the middle. In 4 of the 8 points was a dark green, purple, aquamarine, and navy blue colored stone. The ribbons falling from the back bow reached her feet and were about half an inch thick. On her back was a silver cloak that fell down to her ankles. She had silver high heels. She was wearing a black choker with a silver star around her neck. Hanging from her ears were silver crescent moon earrings with an 8-pointed star beneath it. [snip] Beneath her bangs was a thin band of silver that went around her head." White elbow length gloves with black edges.
Anna: "...a white leotard like everyone else. Her sailor collar and skirt was gold with the skirt outlined in red. The front and back bows were red with the ribbons reaching her feet. She had a heart-shaped brooch in a gold color with a star center. She was wearing gold knee-length lace-up boots with the laces a red color. She was wearing a red choker with a gold butterfly. Her earrings were small golden hearts linked together. [snip] On her head was a golden circlet with a ruby teardrop hanging from it on the center of her forehead." White elbow length gloves with red edges.
Senshi Moves:
Sakura:
Cosmos Star Dome: Silver light comes out of the crystal on her staff and creates a dome shield around its target. It also shocks anything that touches the outside of the shield.
Cosmos Star of Destruction: She forms a triangle with her thumb and index fingers on her forehead, a beam of light comes out of it and hits the enemy.
Anna:
Galactic Mirror Blade: Not described, but it is strong enough to create a crater
Galactic Sword Slash: She swings her sword downward and a streak of gold light comes out and hits the enemy.
Galactic Tear of Planets: Not described
Other Special Abilities: They can talk telepathically to each other and the Outers (after they regain their memories). They're skilled in the martial arts. They know when a youma is going to attack days before it happens. They can travel to other people's dreams in their sleep. They give the other senshi new forms and attacks. (Moon has a Universal form, and the others have an Eternal form.) Their wounds automatically heal when they are injured, even if they're unconscious. They can disappear and teleport at will. They can revive people's memories.
Sakura: She gives some of her energy to Serena so that she wouldn't faint when she used the Silver Crystal to heal everyone after a battle. (This has no ill effect on her.) She can use her power to create an energy barrier. She gives the Outers an extra Princess form after they receive their Eternal form, which gives them general control over their respective elements without having to shout an attack name. (She is the only one who can give it to them.) If she throws her earrings in the air, they will let out a flash of light and blind anyone that has evil intentions.
Annoying Traits: When they enter their classroom, all the boys immediately start falling in love with them and all of the girls are jealous of them. They can make the moon come out during the day. (It happens when they're first introduced in their senshi form.) They are more powerful than Moon in her Eternal form and are the only ones that can hurt the youma before they give the senshi their new forms. Luna and Artemis feel a sense of belonging when they were petted by them. They remember everything from the Silver Millennium and know who all of the senshi are.
Sakura: She has a "melodious" voice.
Anna: Her voice sounds like twinkling bells.
Comments: Now, technically, I guess you could make an OC Sailor Cosmos for the anime continuity. But really, do you want to risk making an OC for a character that is the final form of the most important and powerful character in the manga?
This story hurts. I don't have anything else to say about it.
Samples:
Normal POV
"OH NOOOOO!" yelled Serena Tsukino as she shot out of bed. "I'm going to be so LATE!" In one minute, she was ready and shot out the door.
Serena was just down the hall when the bell rang. She quickly ran into the classroom.
"SERENA TSUKINO, YOU'RE LATE AGAIN! DETENTION AFTER SCHOOL! Now go sit down," yelled Ms. Haruna. She was about to start class again when there was a knock on the door. "Come in," she called. The secretary came in and talked to Ms. Haruna in an undertone for a couple of seconds and then left. "Okay, class, we have two new students today. They just moved from Los Angeles, California in the United States, so welcome them to Juuban High School."
In walked two beautiful girls. One girl was about 6'1'' with silver hair that had some lavender streaks in it. Her hair was tied back in a braid that ended at her ankles and bangs that formed a kind of heart in the center of her forehead, like Serena's. She had pale, smooth skin and sparkling sapphire blue eyes with some silver flecks. The second girl was around 5'8'' with lightly tanned skin. Her hair was shoulder-length and blond with some red streaks. It was all loose except for one thin braid on one side of her head. She had laughing brown eyes with some gold flecks. By the time they reached the front of the room, all the boys were drooling, with some jealous looks from the girls.
"Okay, girls, why don't you introduce yourselves," Ms. Haruna said. "Tell us a little about yourselves."
The silver-haired girl started first. "Hello, my name is Sakura Cosmos." To some people, her voice was melodious.
"Hi! My name is Anna Lexi!" chirped the blond girl. Her voice sounded like twinkling bells.
"We're cousins," they stated in unison. "And anyone who tried to hit on us will regret it."
"Thank you, girls. Now, there are two empty seats behind Serena. Serena, raise your hand, please," said Ms. Haruna.
Sakura's POV
After we took our seats, the teacher started class. I didn't pay much attention since I already knew this stuff. I noticed that the girl in front of me, Serena, wasn't paying attention either. Instead, she was sleeping on her desk. I recognized her easily enough.
'So this is the reincarnation of Serenity. It's a little hard to believe.' Sakura thought to herself.
...Sakura...Suddenly, I heard Anna's voice in my head. Our telepathic bond really helps when we don't want others listening in on our conversations.
/Hey, Anna, what is it?/
...Hi. It's about Serena. I know she's the reincarnation of Serenity, but it's a little hard to believe...Anna thought, casting a glance at the sleeping form of Serena.
/I know. Believe me though, she is. It seems as if she's just trying to live her own life by being her own person. Either that or she is really like that in this lifetime./ Sakura observed.
...It's most likely the latter though...
/I agree. We'll soon see how powerful she's gotten so far. She's going to need her strength now that Chaos and Diamond is back, stronger than ever. But you better bring yourself back to reality, Ms. Haruna is asking you a question, and it looks like she's getting impatient./
Normal POV
"Anna, can you please give us the answer to the problem, 3x 4 37, which is on the board," Ms. Haruna requested. When she didn't get an answer, she looked up to see a spaced-out Anna Lexi. She walked up to her desk and waited for a few seconds, then smacked her ruler on her desk.
Anna looked up, startled. "Yes, ma'am?" she asked.
"Miss Lexi, please answer the question on the board," Ms. Haruna repeated impatiently.
Anna nodded and glanced briefly at the board. "X 11," she answered calmly.
Ms. Haruna and the whole class with the exception of Sakura (and Serena, who was still snoozing away) looked pretty surprised that she answered it so quickly when it seemed as if she wasn't paying any attention at all.
AFTER SCHOOL
When the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day, Sakura and Anna walked toward the exit of the school. As they stepped out of the building into the schoolyard, they saw a group of boys coming up to them and preventing them from walking any further.
"Hey, babe, how about going out on a date with me tonight? We could go see a movie, have a dinner, and then hang out at my place afterwards," said one of the boys, who seemed to be the leader of the group, to Sakura. One of his thugs seemed to be hitting on Anna at the same time.
"No, thanks. Sorry, but I'm not interested," said Sakura in a cold, emotionless voice.
"Neither am I, for that matter," stated Anna in the same tone as Sakura.
"Aah, too bad because we don't take no as an answer," said the leader with a sly tone. By now, there was a large crowd around them, watching their interaction with interest.
"Well, you're going to have to because we're just not interested," the girls stated together. [Hive mind... HIVE MIND! They're not human!]
"What's wrong, can't get it into your thick skulls that you're not desirable to us?" said Sakura with an amused tone.
"Or are you just incredibly stupid?" stated Anna with a smirk. The crowd gasped because the boys were the most popular and most desirable to many girls in the school.
"Why, you," the leader growled. "Get them!" he yelled at the other boys behind him. They all rushed at the girls. The crowd looked on in horror and then amazement as Sakura and Anna worked together to fight back. Their movements were synchronized and by the time they were finished, all the boys were beaten up with bruised on their body. The crowd cheered for the girls as they left school.
They had only just walked a block away from the school when they heard someone calling them. "Sakura! Anna!" Both girls turned around to find Serena with 4 other girls walking towards them.
"Hey, Serena, who're your friends?" Anna asked.
"Hi, Sakura, Anna! I'd like you to meet Amy, the one with the book, Mina, the one who looks like me, Raye, the raven-haired one, and Lita, the tallest of us all!" replied Serena cheerfully.
"Hey, nice to meet you two," Raye replied.
"Yeah, you girls have great fighting skills. Those guys certainly deserved it after the way they behaved," complimented Lita.
"It was really amazing. No one has ever rejected Tom before. Tom was the leader in a way," said Mina cheerfully.
"Should you have done that, though?" Amy asked worriedly. "You can get into really big trouble for fighting on school grounds."
"It's really nice to meet you," Sakura and Anna replied, bowing politely.
"What do you mean we were fighting, Amy? We were merely defending ourselves," said Anna.
"Anyway," Serena interrupted, "we'd like to know if you'd like to hang out with us?"
"Sorry, we can't. We still have some unpacking to do," replied Sakura politely. "Maybe some other time."
"Yeah, we'll see you some other time," said Anna.
-------------------------------
Sailor Star’s POV
...Sakura, what are we supposed to do?... Anna asked nervously.
I gave her a small smile to try and reassure her. /Don’t worry, Anna. We’re going to have to make them more powerful so they can defeat the youmas without needing out help every time. I need you to help me by gathering some of your regular energy so we can power up their transformations to the next level. Now hurry!/ I said quickly. We both raised out arms and started transferring our energy towards the center in between us, where a glowing ball of our energy started to form. Soon enough, when it reached the right size, we stopped the flow of energy. Then I concentrated and the ball of energy dispersed into nine smaller balls of energy. By then I was feeling pretty drained. Each ball of energy went to one of the scouts and created a new brooch or transformation pen. Just then, I heard an angry roar behind me. I turned around, just in time to see the youma’s claws rake my front, injuring me and in the process, cutting the silver band. It fell away to expose the eight-pointed star on my forehead.
Pluto’s POV
I stared in shock at the eight-pointed star on Sailor Star’s forehead. ‘Princess!’ I thought but that wasn’t the only voice I heard in my head. ‘Uranus, Neptune, Saturn?’ I hesitatingly asked in my head.
‘Pluto!?’ Now that was pretty loud.
Next, I heard Uranus in my head. ‘How on Earth are we-’ but Saturn cut her off.
‘No time now! Talk later!’ We all nodded in agreement.
Normal POV
“Sailor Star!!” Sailor Galactica yelled out. Sailor Star didn’t respond of move. “All of you, transform quickly! Just listen to your heart and the words will come to you,” she yelled out while running to her partner’s still form.
“Look out!” Jupiter yelled out. Galactica saw the attack heading towards Star and quickly dove in front of her, protecting her from any more harm. The blast of fire hit Galactica and she screamed in pain. When the fire was gone, Galactica was slumped over Star’s body, covered in burns.
“Come on, everyone!” Sailor Moon yelled. “We’ve got to protect those two and defeat the youma!” Everyone nodded quickly and raised their transformation brooch or pens into the air.
“Universal Moon Power!”
“Mercury Eternal Power!”
“Mars Eternal Power!”
“Jupiter Eternal Power!”
“Venus Eternal Power!”
“Saturn Eternal Power!”
“Uranus Eternal Power!”
“Neptune Eternal Power!”
“Pluto Eternal Power!”
In a flash of rainbow lights, there stood the Eternal Sailor Scouts with Universal Sailor Moon in front of them. The inners and outers stood in what Eternal Sailor Moon used to wear, but in their own planet colors. Instead of tiaras, they all had their planet symbols glowing on their foreheads and their white wings had a hint of their respective colors in them. Sailor Moon’s fuku was pretty much white with gray. She still had her crescent moon but the red orb-like jewels weren’t in her buns anymore. Everything else was pretty much the same. Her pure white wings stayed too.
Uranus smirked. “Why don’t we test our new powers out?” she said, pulling out her Space Sword from the sub-space pocket. “Uranus...Space Tornado!” she yelled, slashing the sword through the air quickly. The air that separated from the sword slash formed into a tornado that collided with the youma, throwing it around inside it.
“I’m with you, Uranus,” Mars said, raising one finger into the air. A circle of fire started to form around it. “Mars...Inferno Ring!” she yelled, grabbing the ring of fire and throwing it at the youma. The fire grew to fit around the youma, then it trapped it. When the ring touched the youma’s flesh, it burst into a flaming tornado with the youma trapped inside. After the fire was gone, the youma was covered all over with burns and dazed.
“Mercury...Swirling Icicles Blast!” Mercury yelled, a blue ball of energy appearing in between her hands.
“Neptune...Aqua Streamers!” Neptune shouted out, holding her mirror up.
Streamers of water shot out from the face of her mirror talisman, while many icicles shot out of the blue energy ball in Mercury’s hands. The attacks combined together, with the icicles swirling around every one of the water streamers. All of these streamers hit the youma at once. Once all of the water and ice were gone, the youma had cuts from the icicles and was thoroughly soaked all over.
“It’s my turn!” Jupiter cried out. “Jupiter...Thunderstorm Strike!” The Jupiter symbol glowed before it shot a green beam of light to the sky above them. Thunderclouds formed quickly with two lightning bolts striking the youma. The thunderclouds disappeared as quickly as they came. The youma was electrocuted, with the water making it even more painful.
“Venus...Love Chain Wrap!” Venus shouted while flying into the air. When she was mid-air, she flapped her wings, blowing a small gust of orange tinted wind in the direction of the youma’s feet. Heart-linked orange chains seem to come out of the ground and wrapped itself around the youma’s feet, preventing it from moving away from the spot.
Sailor Moon put out a hand and a staff about the same height as her appeared in it. She aimed it at the trapped youma and called out, “Universal...Moon...Planet...ANNIHALATE!” A beam of light with what seemed to be some of the elements the other scouts represented mixed into it shot out of the top of her staff and hit the youma dead on. It screamed out as it was obliterated and left behind ashes or dust, whatever it was.
“YEAH!!!” everyone shouted. “We did it!”
“You guys are so mean, you didn’t give Pluto or me a chance to try,” Saturn pouted, still holding onto her glaive.
“Oh, sorry, Hota. Next time, you’ll get a chance, alright?” Neptune said. Saturn nodded happily. Suddenly, they heard an evil laugh behind them and turned around to see...
[snip]
“Diamond?!!” the inners, Pluto, and Sailor Moon shouted. Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune realized that this was Prince Diamond of the Negamoon.
Sailor Mars could sense the evil vibes he was radiating. “What are you doing back?” she yelled out angrily.
Diamond didn’t seem to take notice of her words though. He noticed Sailors Star and Galactica lying still on the ground. He started to float down from his perch on a lamppost towards the two sailors, but unfortunately (for him, that is), he got interrupted.
“Saturn...Glaive...Ribbon...Snake!” she yelled out in anger. From the blades of her Silence Glaive, dark purple ribbons came snaking out. The ribbons combined to take on a snake-like form and then it hit Diamond. The force of the attack pushed him out of the air and he hit the ground. He jumped back up, slightly injured from the attack Saturn gave him. [Snakes from a Glaive? *Shot*]
He glared at them all. “I’ll be back,” he said angrily, disappearing into thin air. When he was gone, everyone went to the still forms of Sailors Star and Galactica.
“What are we going to do?” Venus asked nervously.
“First of all, we have to heal them, they’re hurt,” Sailor Moon said firmly, grabbing her brooch. When she was about to raise it into the air, Mercury gasped.
“Look!” she told everyone.
It was then that they noticed that Sailor Star was starting to glow silver, healing the claw marked injuries on the front of her body. The glow started to cover Sailor Galactica’s body too. Although they were glowing, the scouts couldn’t find the source of it. After all of Sailor Galactica’s burns were healed, the glowing dimmed, then went out.
“Okay, now that they’re healed, though we don’t know how, what do we do?” Mars asked everyone. They all thought for awhile.
“Why don’t we take them back to our mansion?” Pluto suggested, indicating the place where all four of the outers lived together. “You all need to go to school, but I can stay at home and watch over them.” (Trista’s a fashion designer.)
“Sure,” Mercury said. She received odd looks from the rest of the inners. “It is the most reasonable choice. We can’t leave them alone during school and how will we explain them to our parents?” she explained. “Anyway, we should de-transform and go home to sleep. It is a school night after all.”
Everyone de-transformed, except for the outers, and said goodbye.
--------------------------
Sakura’s eyes started to glow silver. On her forehead, a silver eight-pointed star started to appear. The star started to glow as her eyes glowed brighter. The inners were mystified by what was happening to Sakura. Suddenly, just as the acid was about to hit the outers, who were in front of Sakura, she lifted one had and a silver barrier flashed into place around herself and the outers. The acid hit the barrier and disappeared into thin air.
The inners, Sailor Moon, and the youma were surprised by the barrier. They could see what was going on inside.
Inside, Sakura was speaking. “Outers, you and the inners have one more transformation. I’m the only one who could give it to you. Serena can’t give it to you. Just like I can’t give the inners their last transformation. Serena’s able to give it to the inners when it’s time,” she told them. “Now, take out your transformation pens.”
Once all four were holding their pens, Sakura closed her eyes and cupped her hands while sitting up(only her ankle was trapped). A rainbow-color filled crystal slowly materialized in between her hands as Sakura concentrated. In a burst of silver light, four beams came out of the crystal. Each beam was either a purple, an aquamarine, a yellow, or a dark green color. The beams hit the pens and they rose out of the scouts’ hands. Silver dust fell out of nowhere and when they made contact with the pens, it slowly morphed into a sort of crystal. Circular brooches appeared in the outers’ hands. One of the crystals was a dark purple color and was shaped to be a miniature version of her Silence Glaive. The Saturn Crystal slowly floated to its princess and fitted itself into the deep groove that was designed specifically to hold the crystal in the brooch. A yellow crystal shaped like her Space Sword floated to Uranus’s hands and into the brooch designed for the Uranus Crystal. The Neptune Crystal was an aquamarine color and shaped like the Neptune Mirror. The Pluto Crystal was shaped like her Time Staff and was a dark green color. Each of those crystals floated to their respective owner’s brooches.
Sakura’s POV
I opened my eyes and watched as the crystals floated down to rest in their brooches. “Okay, scouts,” I said as the crystal’s glow went down a little, though still glowing. “Your transformation phrase begins with your planet name, and then ‘Princess Cosmos Power’,” I told them. I watched as they raised their transformation brooches.
“Saturn…Princess…Cosmos…POWER!”
“Uranus…Princess…Cosmos…POWER!”
“Neptune…Princess…Cosmos…POWER!”
“Pluto…Princess…Cosmos…POWER!”
“MAKE-UP!”
‘It’s definitely time to reawaken the princesses and the planetary crystals,’ I thought. Water swirled around Neptune’s body, shielding her from view. Wind surrounded Uranus while images of clocks surrounded Pluto and dark dust surrounded Saturn. All four of their transformations included stars. Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and there stood the outers among the falling dust.
Their uniforms now consisted of a white leotard with a skirt that went down to their ankles. The skirts were in their planetary colors and rimmed with silver. It also had slits on both sides that went up to mid-thigh to make it easier to move around in. All four were wearing ankle strapped heel shoes, too. Their gloves were the same as their ‘Super’ uniforms. Three cloths made of see-through material were covering their shoulders in their own colors. Their chokers now had their planet signs. The wings on their back stayed the same as before and their brooches rested in between the two bows on their fronts.
Once they were finished, I let the barrier down. /Uranus./ I thought.
‘Yes, Princess,’ she thought back.
/You now have control over the wind. Just will it to do something and it will. The same goes for the rest of you. Neptune has control over water, Pluto over time long it doesn’t do anything drastic, and Saturn over deaths. Be careful with your new powers./ I warned them. They nodded and Uranus raised her hands toward my leg.
Normal POV
“Okay, what just happened here?” Sailor Mars asked while the youma just stood there, awed by the light show.
“It looks like the outers just got a power-up,” Jupiter said. “I don’t know what all this has to do with Sakura though. Is it possible that she has her own special powers?”
Mercury looked up from her compact computer. “I just scanned the power that threw up the barrier a while ago,” she started. “It’s all coming from Sakura, and it matches the power readings that I got from Sailor Star!”
“WHAT!” everyone exclaimed.
“Are you saying that Sailor Star is actually Sakura?” Sailor Moon asked, staring at Sakura in shock.
Before Sailor Mercury could answer, Jupiter shouted, “Look!”
All the scouts turned around quickly. Uranus had her hands raised and seemed to be concentrating. Wind slowly started to gather and when there was enough, Uranus sent the wind towards the wall. The piece of wall started to lift and when it was high enough, Sakura slid her ankle out. Once Sakura was safely away from the floating wall, the wind dispersed and the wall dropped back to the floor.
The youma finally snapped out of its daze and sent another blast of acid at them. The outers turned around. “Let’s finish this, shall we?” Pluto stated, raising her staff. “Pluto…Time…MANIPULATION!” she called out, and mists came out of her staff, surrounding the acid. When the mists disappeared, the acid was still heading towards them, but in slow motion.
“It’s my turn,” Neptune said, smirking (what a surprise!). She raised her mirror in front of her and it started glowing. “Neptune…Water…REFLECTION!” she shouted out. An aqua beam came out of the mirror, and a wall of water appeared where the beam ended. When the acid hit the wall of water, it went back towards the youma, still in slow motion. Pluto waved her staff a bit, and the acid went back to normal speed, hitting the youma. It screamed as the acid burned through its flesh.
Saturn smirked also. “It’s time to end this,” she said in a cold voice. “Saturn…Silence…EXPLOSION!” she shouted out. Some kind of dark gas came out of her glaive and went straight into the youma’s chest. Everything was silent for a moment, and then the youma’s body exploded without a sound into dust, instead of disgusting body parts.
------------------------------
The outers whirled around at the sudden interruption and saw Sailors Star and Galactica leaning on the doorway. “Sailor Star! Sailor Galactica!” Hotaru cried out in surprise.
“Good morning, princesses of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto,” she greeted, amusement sparkling in her eyes.
The girls at the table looked shocked for a moment, then Amara demanded, “Are your really Princess Selenity of the Moon Kingdom, Sailor Star?”
Sailor Star merely smiled. Without saying a word, she raised a finger up, touched her brooch and then the star on her forehead. In a flash of light, her fuku changed into silver ribbons and bright stars that rewrapped around her body to form a dress. In another flash of light, there stood Princess Selenity in all her glory. (dramatic, I know) [Don't care. Shut up.]
When the outers saw the princess, they transformed and then they knelt before her. “Rise, Outer Sailors of the solar system,” she said softly, regally, and with authority. Once they were all standing again, Galactica started giggling a little and Selenity pouted.
“What’s so funny?” Uranus demanded.
...Typical Uranus... Galactica thought. “It’s just the way you quickly reacted,” she said, still giggling. “Remember what Selenity said?”
“What did she say?” Saturn asked, confused.
All the outers turned to Selenity’s pouting face. “Please, no formalities between us,” she said.
They nodded in understanding and smiled. “Yes, Selenity,” they chorused.
Selenity sweat dropped. ‘Well, I guess that it’s better than Princess,’ she thought.
“Who were you in the past, Sailor Galactica?” Pluto asked. “I still don’t have my memories of you.”
Galactica glanced at Selenity and she nodded. Like Selenity, she first touched her brooch and then the teardrop. Her fuku changed to golden ribbons and golden dust, which fixed up to be another dress. In a flash of light, there stood Sailor Galactica in her princess form.
The outers gasped. “You’re the other princess in Serenity’s dream!” Pluto exclaimed.
She nodded. “In my past life, I was known as Princess Lexi Anna Galaxia of the galaxy. I am a cousin to Selenity and younger sister to Sailor Galaxia,” she said majestically while making a curtsy. When she was up, the teardrop on her circlet started glowing and so did the planetary symbols on the outers. There was a flash of light and the outers remembered the young princess who was always found with Selenity.
After it was over, Saturn spoke up. “I remember now. You two were practically inseparable. You were sent to Earth along with Selenity to protect her and keep her company.”
“Yeah, well, she doesn’t really need protecting,” Lexi said, laughing.
“How did you get your sailor powers anyway?” Uranus asked.
“Well, we’ve been training for the past hundreds of years that we were on Earth,” Selenity said. “I got my Cosmos powers and Lexi got her Galaxy powers about 20 years ago.”
“Her name isn’t really Sailor Star but Sailor Cosmos. It’s to hide her true identity for now,” Lexi explained. [Yes, you have to hide her from the people who are going to kick your ass for using Moon's final form from the manga.]
“Well, you need to go to school,” Selenity said, looking at the time, “and so do we.” Selenity and Lexi started to glow, there was a flash of light, and when it was gone, the outers gasped at what they saw.
“Sakura! Anna!” Hotaru cried out. (they had de-transformed) The others were shocked also while the princesses smiled.
“Yes,” Sakura said, smiling. “In my civilian form, I am known as Sakura Cosmos. However, my full name is Sakura Moon Selenity Cosmos.”
“In my civilian form, I am known as Anna Lexi. But my full name is Anna Lexi Galaxia,” Anna said. [Umm, yeah. You just told us that.]
“What do we tell the inners and Serena?” Amara asked.
“You can’t tell them about us,” Sakura said calmly. “It’s not time for them to know yet. They will find out about us when the time is right. In the meantime, just tell them that we disappeared when you went to check on us.”
“Yes, Sakura,” Trista said.
After a little more talking, everyone but Trista left for school, with Amara driving all of them.
[snip]
Sakura looked up when Hotaru led the others inside. “Come sit down and have some refreshments,” she said, gesturing towards the table that had a plate of cookies and cups of tea in front of them.
When Serena saw the food, she sat down and instantly started stuffing her mouth with the cookies. The others sweat dropped but sat down too. “Tea?” Michelle asked. The inners shook their heads but she poured Amara, Trista, Hotaru, Sakura, and herself a cup.
“Who are you really, Sakura?” Lita demanded.
As she took a sip of tea, a silver star started to appear on her forehead. “You have known me as Sailor Star in battle,” she said, transforming at the same time. Everyone gasped except for the outers, who already knew. “Galactica, you can come in now,” she said, eyes sparkling. In a sparkle of golden light, Galactica appeared behind Sailor Star.
Everyone gasped. “How long have you been here?” Amy asked.
“I’ve been here all along,” she said, her voice filled with mirth.
“Anyways, I am not really Sailor Star. My name is really Sailor Cosmos,” Sailor Cosmos said. She then stood up. “But that is not all,” she said. “I am also known as,” there was a flash of silver light, “Princess Selenity Sakura Moon Cosmos of the Moon Kingdom.” She was now in her princess dress, and she gave a deep curtsy. On her forehead, a small, golden crescent moon had emerged in the center of the star.
There was a flash of golden light behind Sakura. “And I am Princess Lexi Anna Galaxia of the galaxy.” In place of Galactica was the princess from Serena’s dreams. “To anyone else, I am known as Anna Lexi.” [They already know your names. They're not slow. Geez...]
Before anyone could question them, their symbols glowed and shot beams of light to the symbols on the inners and Serena’s forehead. Soon, everyone’s memories were restored.
“Saku!” Serena cried out. She rushed over to Sakura and gave her a bone-crushing hug. “I’ve missed you so much!”
Sakura started to turn a little blue. “Um, Sere, I can’t breathe,” she got out.
“Oops!” Serena said, letting go. Sakura sighed in relief. “Hehe, sorry. I guess I couldn’t control myself.”
“It’s okay, Serena,” Sakura said, de-transforming along with Anna. “I understand.”
Lita spoke up. “So, Anna,” she began, “what have you two been doing the past hundreds of years?”
“Well, we’ve mostly been training,” said Anna.
“What was with those transformations earlier?” Mina asked, grabbing a cookie and munching on it.
“Oh, that,” Sakura said, looking thoughtful. “That will be your final transformations.”
“Saku can’t give you your final transformations, but you’ll receive them soon,” added Anna.
“She’s right,” Sakura said. “You’ll get them when the time is right.

Sakura:
Cosmos Star Dome: Silver light comes out of the crystal on her staff and creates a dome shield around its target. It also shocks anything that touches the outside of the shield.

Other Special Abilities: They can talk telepathically to each other and the Outers (after they regain their memories). They're skilled in the martial arts. They know when a youma is going to attack days before it happens. They can travel to other people's dreams in their sleep. They give the other senshi new forms and attacks. (Moon has a Universal form, and the others have an Eternal form.) Their wounds automatically heal when they are injured, even if they're unconscious. They can disappear and teleport at will. They can revive people's memories.
Sakura: She gives some of her energy to Serena so that she wouldn't faint when she used the Silver Crystal to heal everyone after a battle. (This has no ill effect on her.) She can use her power to create an energy barrier. She gives the Outers an extra Princess form after they receive their Eternal form, which gives them general control over their respective elements without having to shout an attack name. (She is the only one who can give it to them.) If she throws her earrings in the air, they will let out a flash of light and blind anyone that has evil intentions.
Annoying Traits: When they enter their classroom, all the boys immediately start falling in love with them and all of the girls are jealous of them. They can make the moon come out during the day. (It happens when they're first introduced in their senshi form.) They are more powerful than Moon in her Eternal form and are the only ones that can hurt the youma before they give the senshi their new forms. Luna and Artemis feel a sense of belonging when they were petted by them. They remember everything from the Silver Millennium and know who all of the senshi are.
Sakura: She has a "melodious" voice.
Anna: Her voice sounds like twinkling bells.
Comments: Now, technically, I guess you could make an OC Sailor Cosmos for the anime continuity. But really, do you want to risk making an OC for a character that is the final form of the most important and powerful character in the manga?
This story hurts. I don't have anything else to say about it.
Samples:
Normal POV
"OH NOOOOO!" yelled Serena Tsukino as she shot out of bed. "I'm going to be so LATE!" In one minute, she was ready and shot out the door.
Serena was just down the hall when the bell rang. She quickly ran into the classroom.
"SERENA TSUKINO, YOU'RE LATE AGAIN! DETENTION AFTER SCHOOL! Now go sit down," yelled Ms. Haruna. She was about to start class again when there was a knock on the door. "Come in," she called. The secretary came in and talked to Ms. Haruna in an undertone for a couple of seconds and then left. "Okay, class, we have two new students today. They just moved from Los Angeles, California in the United States, so welcome them to Juuban High School."
In walked two beautiful girls. One girl was about 6'1'' with silver hair that had some lavender streaks in it. Her hair was tied back in a braid that ended at her ankles and bangs that formed a kind of heart in the center of her forehead, like Serena's. She had pale, smooth skin and sparkling sapphire blue eyes with some silver flecks. The second girl was around 5'8'' with lightly tanned skin. Her hair was shoulder-length and blond with some red streaks. It was all loose except for one thin braid on one side of her head. She had laughing brown eyes with some gold flecks. By the time they reached the front of the room, all the boys were drooling, with some jealous looks from the girls.
"Okay, girls, why don't you introduce yourselves," Ms. Haruna said. "Tell us a little about yourselves."
The silver-haired girl started first. "Hello, my name is Sakura Cosmos." To some people, her voice was melodious.
"Hi! My name is Anna Lexi!" chirped the blond girl. Her voice sounded like twinkling bells.
"We're cousins," they stated in unison. "And anyone who tried to hit on us will regret it."
"Thank you, girls. Now, there are two empty seats behind Serena. Serena, raise your hand, please," said Ms. Haruna.
Sakura's POV
After we took our seats, the teacher started class. I didn't pay much attention since I already knew this stuff. I noticed that the girl in front of me, Serena, wasn't paying attention either. Instead, she was sleeping on her desk. I recognized her easily enough.
'So this is the reincarnation of Serenity. It's a little hard to believe.' Sakura thought to herself.
...Sakura...Suddenly, I heard Anna's voice in my head. Our telepathic bond really helps when we don't want others listening in on our conversations.
/Hey, Anna, what is it?/
...Hi. It's about Serena. I know she's the reincarnation of Serenity, but it's a little hard to believe...Anna thought, casting a glance at the sleeping form of Serena.
/I know. Believe me though, she is. It seems as if she's just trying to live her own life by being her own person. Either that or she is really like that in this lifetime./ Sakura observed.
...It's most likely the latter though...
/I agree. We'll soon see how powerful she's gotten so far. She's going to need her strength now that Chaos and Diamond is back, stronger than ever. But you better bring yourself back to reality, Ms. Haruna is asking you a question, and it looks like she's getting impatient./
Normal POV
"Anna, can you please give us the answer to the problem, 3x 4 37, which is on the board," Ms. Haruna requested. When she didn't get an answer, she looked up to see a spaced-out Anna Lexi. She walked up to her desk and waited for a few seconds, then smacked her ruler on her desk.
Anna looked up, startled. "Yes, ma'am?" she asked.
"Miss Lexi, please answer the question on the board," Ms. Haruna repeated impatiently.
Anna nodded and glanced briefly at the board. "X 11," she answered calmly.
Ms. Haruna and the whole class with the exception of Sakura (and Serena, who was still snoozing away) looked pretty surprised that she answered it so quickly when it seemed as if she wasn't paying any attention at all.
AFTER SCHOOL
When the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day, Sakura and Anna walked toward the exit of the school. As they stepped out of the building into the schoolyard, they saw a group of boys coming up to them and preventing them from walking any further.
"Hey, babe, how about going out on a date with me tonight? We could go see a movie, have a dinner, and then hang out at my place afterwards," said one of the boys, who seemed to be the leader of the group, to Sakura. One of his thugs seemed to be hitting on Anna at the same time.
"No, thanks. Sorry, but I'm not interested," said Sakura in a cold, emotionless voice.
"Neither am I, for that matter," stated Anna in the same tone as Sakura.
"Aah, too bad because we don't take no as an answer," said the leader with a sly tone. By now, there was a large crowd around them, watching their interaction with interest.
"Well, you're going to have to because we're just not interested," the girls stated together. [Hive mind... HIVE MIND! They're not human!]
"What's wrong, can't get it into your thick skulls that you're not desirable to us?" said Sakura with an amused tone.
"Or are you just incredibly stupid?" stated Anna with a smirk. The crowd gasped because the boys were the most popular and most desirable to many girls in the school.
"Why, you," the leader growled. "Get them!" he yelled at the other boys behind him. They all rushed at the girls. The crowd looked on in horror and then amazement as Sakura and Anna worked together to fight back. Their movements were synchronized and by the time they were finished, all the boys were beaten up with bruised on their body. The crowd cheered for the girls as they left school.
They had only just walked a block away from the school when they heard someone calling them. "Sakura! Anna!" Both girls turned around to find Serena with 4 other girls walking towards them.
"Hey, Serena, who're your friends?" Anna asked.
"Hi, Sakura, Anna! I'd like you to meet Amy, the one with the book, Mina, the one who looks like me, Raye, the raven-haired one, and Lita, the tallest of us all!" replied Serena cheerfully.
"Hey, nice to meet you two," Raye replied.
"Yeah, you girls have great fighting skills. Those guys certainly deserved it after the way they behaved," complimented Lita.
"It was really amazing. No one has ever rejected Tom before. Tom was the leader in a way," said Mina cheerfully.
"Should you have done that, though?" Amy asked worriedly. "You can get into really big trouble for fighting on school grounds."
"It's really nice to meet you," Sakura and Anna replied, bowing politely.
"What do you mean we were fighting, Amy? We were merely defending ourselves," said Anna.
"Anyway," Serena interrupted, "we'd like to know if you'd like to hang out with us?"
"Sorry, we can't. We still have some unpacking to do," replied Sakura politely. "Maybe some other time."
"Yeah, we'll see you some other time," said Anna.
-------------------------------
Sailor Star’s POV
...Sakura, what are we supposed to do?... Anna asked nervously.
I gave her a small smile to try and reassure her. /Don’t worry, Anna. We’re going to have to make them more powerful so they can defeat the youmas without needing out help every time. I need you to help me by gathering some of your regular energy so we can power up their transformations to the next level. Now hurry!/ I said quickly. We both raised out arms and started transferring our energy towards the center in between us, where a glowing ball of our energy started to form. Soon enough, when it reached the right size, we stopped the flow of energy. Then I concentrated and the ball of energy dispersed into nine smaller balls of energy. By then I was feeling pretty drained. Each ball of energy went to one of the scouts and created a new brooch or transformation pen. Just then, I heard an angry roar behind me. I turned around, just in time to see the youma’s claws rake my front, injuring me and in the process, cutting the silver band. It fell away to expose the eight-pointed star on my forehead.
Pluto’s POV
I stared in shock at the eight-pointed star on Sailor Star’s forehead. ‘Princess!’ I thought but that wasn’t the only voice I heard in my head. ‘Uranus, Neptune, Saturn?’ I hesitatingly asked in my head.
‘Pluto!?’ Now that was pretty loud.
Next, I heard Uranus in my head. ‘How on Earth are we-’ but Saturn cut her off.
‘No time now! Talk later!’ We all nodded in agreement.
Normal POV
“Sailor Star!!” Sailor Galactica yelled out. Sailor Star didn’t respond of move. “All of you, transform quickly! Just listen to your heart and the words will come to you,” she yelled out while running to her partner’s still form.
“Look out!” Jupiter yelled out. Galactica saw the attack heading towards Star and quickly dove in front of her, protecting her from any more harm. The blast of fire hit Galactica and she screamed in pain. When the fire was gone, Galactica was slumped over Star’s body, covered in burns.
“Come on, everyone!” Sailor Moon yelled. “We’ve got to protect those two and defeat the youma!” Everyone nodded quickly and raised their transformation brooch or pens into the air.
“Universal Moon Power!”
“Mercury Eternal Power!”
“Mars Eternal Power!”
“Jupiter Eternal Power!”
“Venus Eternal Power!”
“Saturn Eternal Power!”
“Uranus Eternal Power!”
“Neptune Eternal Power!”
“Pluto Eternal Power!”
In a flash of rainbow lights, there stood the Eternal Sailor Scouts with Universal Sailor Moon in front of them. The inners and outers stood in what Eternal Sailor Moon used to wear, but in their own planet colors. Instead of tiaras, they all had their planet symbols glowing on their foreheads and their white wings had a hint of their respective colors in them. Sailor Moon’s fuku was pretty much white with gray. She still had her crescent moon but the red orb-like jewels weren’t in her buns anymore. Everything else was pretty much the same. Her pure white wings stayed too.
Uranus smirked. “Why don’t we test our new powers out?” she said, pulling out her Space Sword from the sub-space pocket. “Uranus...Space Tornado!” she yelled, slashing the sword through the air quickly. The air that separated from the sword slash formed into a tornado that collided with the youma, throwing it around inside it.
“I’m with you, Uranus,” Mars said, raising one finger into the air. A circle of fire started to form around it. “Mars...Inferno Ring!” she yelled, grabbing the ring of fire and throwing it at the youma. The fire grew to fit around the youma, then it trapped it. When the ring touched the youma’s flesh, it burst into a flaming tornado with the youma trapped inside. After the fire was gone, the youma was covered all over with burns and dazed.
“Mercury...Swirling Icicles Blast!” Mercury yelled, a blue ball of energy appearing in between her hands.
“Neptune...Aqua Streamers!” Neptune shouted out, holding her mirror up.
Streamers of water shot out from the face of her mirror talisman, while many icicles shot out of the blue energy ball in Mercury’s hands. The attacks combined together, with the icicles swirling around every one of the water streamers. All of these streamers hit the youma at once. Once all of the water and ice were gone, the youma had cuts from the icicles and was thoroughly soaked all over.
“It’s my turn!” Jupiter cried out. “Jupiter...Thunderstorm Strike!” The Jupiter symbol glowed before it shot a green beam of light to the sky above them. Thunderclouds formed quickly with two lightning bolts striking the youma. The thunderclouds disappeared as quickly as they came. The youma was electrocuted, with the water making it even more painful.
“Venus...Love Chain Wrap!” Venus shouted while flying into the air. When she was mid-air, she flapped her wings, blowing a small gust of orange tinted wind in the direction of the youma’s feet. Heart-linked orange chains seem to come out of the ground and wrapped itself around the youma’s feet, preventing it from moving away from the spot.
Sailor Moon put out a hand and a staff about the same height as her appeared in it. She aimed it at the trapped youma and called out, “Universal...Moon...Planet...ANNIHALATE!” A beam of light with what seemed to be some of the elements the other scouts represented mixed into it shot out of the top of her staff and hit the youma dead on. It screamed out as it was obliterated and left behind ashes or dust, whatever it was.
“YEAH!!!” everyone shouted. “We did it!”
“You guys are so mean, you didn’t give Pluto or me a chance to try,” Saturn pouted, still holding onto her glaive.
“Oh, sorry, Hota. Next time, you’ll get a chance, alright?” Neptune said. Saturn nodded happily. Suddenly, they heard an evil laugh behind them and turned around to see...
[snip]
“Diamond?!!” the inners, Pluto, and Sailor Moon shouted. Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune realized that this was Prince Diamond of the Negamoon.
Sailor Mars could sense the evil vibes he was radiating. “What are you doing back?” she yelled out angrily.
Diamond didn’t seem to take notice of her words though. He noticed Sailors Star and Galactica lying still on the ground. He started to float down from his perch on a lamppost towards the two sailors, but unfortunately (for him, that is), he got interrupted.
“Saturn...Glaive...Ribbon...Snake!” she yelled out in anger. From the blades of her Silence Glaive, dark purple ribbons came snaking out. The ribbons combined to take on a snake-like form and then it hit Diamond. The force of the attack pushed him out of the air and he hit the ground. He jumped back up, slightly injured from the attack Saturn gave him. [Snakes from a Glaive? *Shot*]
He glared at them all. “I’ll be back,” he said angrily, disappearing into thin air. When he was gone, everyone went to the still forms of Sailors Star and Galactica.
“What are we going to do?” Venus asked nervously.
“First of all, we have to heal them, they’re hurt,” Sailor Moon said firmly, grabbing her brooch. When she was about to raise it into the air, Mercury gasped.
“Look!” she told everyone.
It was then that they noticed that Sailor Star was starting to glow silver, healing the claw marked injuries on the front of her body. The glow started to cover Sailor Galactica’s body too. Although they were glowing, the scouts couldn’t find the source of it. After all of Sailor Galactica’s burns were healed, the glowing dimmed, then went out.
“Okay, now that they’re healed, though we don’t know how, what do we do?” Mars asked everyone. They all thought for awhile.
“Why don’t we take them back to our mansion?” Pluto suggested, indicating the place where all four of the outers lived together. “You all need to go to school, but I can stay at home and watch over them.” (Trista’s a fashion designer.)
“Sure,” Mercury said. She received odd looks from the rest of the inners. “It is the most reasonable choice. We can’t leave them alone during school and how will we explain them to our parents?” she explained. “Anyway, we should de-transform and go home to sleep. It is a school night after all.”
Everyone de-transformed, except for the outers, and said goodbye.
--------------------------
Sakura’s eyes started to glow silver. On her forehead, a silver eight-pointed star started to appear. The star started to glow as her eyes glowed brighter. The inners were mystified by what was happening to Sakura. Suddenly, just as the acid was about to hit the outers, who were in front of Sakura, she lifted one had and a silver barrier flashed into place around herself and the outers. The acid hit the barrier and disappeared into thin air.
The inners, Sailor Moon, and the youma were surprised by the barrier. They could see what was going on inside.
Inside, Sakura was speaking. “Outers, you and the inners have one more transformation. I’m the only one who could give it to you. Serena can’t give it to you. Just like I can’t give the inners their last transformation. Serena’s able to give it to the inners when it’s time,” she told them. “Now, take out your transformation pens.”
Once all four were holding their pens, Sakura closed her eyes and cupped her hands while sitting up(only her ankle was trapped). A rainbow-color filled crystal slowly materialized in between her hands as Sakura concentrated. In a burst of silver light, four beams came out of the crystal. Each beam was either a purple, an aquamarine, a yellow, or a dark green color. The beams hit the pens and they rose out of the scouts’ hands. Silver dust fell out of nowhere and when they made contact with the pens, it slowly morphed into a sort of crystal. Circular brooches appeared in the outers’ hands. One of the crystals was a dark purple color and was shaped to be a miniature version of her Silence Glaive. The Saturn Crystal slowly floated to its princess and fitted itself into the deep groove that was designed specifically to hold the crystal in the brooch. A yellow crystal shaped like her Space Sword floated to Uranus’s hands and into the brooch designed for the Uranus Crystal. The Neptune Crystal was an aquamarine color and shaped like the Neptune Mirror. The Pluto Crystal was shaped like her Time Staff and was a dark green color. Each of those crystals floated to their respective owner’s brooches.
Sakura’s POV
I opened my eyes and watched as the crystals floated down to rest in their brooches. “Okay, scouts,” I said as the crystal’s glow went down a little, though still glowing. “Your transformation phrase begins with your planet name, and then ‘Princess Cosmos Power’,” I told them. I watched as they raised their transformation brooches.
“Saturn…Princess…Cosmos…POWER!”
“Uranus…Princess…Cosmos…POWER!”
“Neptune…Princess…Cosmos…POWER!”
“Pluto…Princess…Cosmos…POWER!”
“MAKE-UP!”
‘It’s definitely time to reawaken the princesses and the planetary crystals,’ I thought. Water swirled around Neptune’s body, shielding her from view. Wind surrounded Uranus while images of clocks surrounded Pluto and dark dust surrounded Saturn. All four of their transformations included stars. Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and there stood the outers among the falling dust.
Their uniforms now consisted of a white leotard with a skirt that went down to their ankles. The skirts were in their planetary colors and rimmed with silver. It also had slits on both sides that went up to mid-thigh to make it easier to move around in. All four were wearing ankle strapped heel shoes, too. Their gloves were the same as their ‘Super’ uniforms. Three cloths made of see-through material were covering their shoulders in their own colors. Their chokers now had their planet signs. The wings on their back stayed the same as before and their brooches rested in between the two bows on their fronts.
Once they were finished, I let the barrier down. /Uranus./ I thought.
‘Yes, Princess,’ she thought back.
/You now have control over the wind. Just will it to do something and it will. The same goes for the rest of you. Neptune has control over water, Pluto over time long it doesn’t do anything drastic, and Saturn over deaths. Be careful with your new powers./ I warned them. They nodded and Uranus raised her hands toward my leg.
Normal POV
“Okay, what just happened here?” Sailor Mars asked while the youma just stood there, awed by the light show.
“It looks like the outers just got a power-up,” Jupiter said. “I don’t know what all this has to do with Sakura though. Is it possible that she has her own special powers?”
Mercury looked up from her compact computer. “I just scanned the power that threw up the barrier a while ago,” she started. “It’s all coming from Sakura, and it matches the power readings that I got from Sailor Star!”
“WHAT!” everyone exclaimed.
“Are you saying that Sailor Star is actually Sakura?” Sailor Moon asked, staring at Sakura in shock.
Before Sailor Mercury could answer, Jupiter shouted, “Look!”
All the scouts turned around quickly. Uranus had her hands raised and seemed to be concentrating. Wind slowly started to gather and when there was enough, Uranus sent the wind towards the wall. The piece of wall started to lift and when it was high enough, Sakura slid her ankle out. Once Sakura was safely away from the floating wall, the wind dispersed and the wall dropped back to the floor.
The youma finally snapped out of its daze and sent another blast of acid at them. The outers turned around. “Let’s finish this, shall we?” Pluto stated, raising her staff. “Pluto…Time…MANIPULATION!” she called out, and mists came out of her staff, surrounding the acid. When the mists disappeared, the acid was still heading towards them, but in slow motion.
“It’s my turn,” Neptune said, smirking (what a surprise!). She raised her mirror in front of her and it started glowing. “Neptune…Water…REFLECTION!” she shouted out. An aqua beam came out of the mirror, and a wall of water appeared where the beam ended. When the acid hit the wall of water, it went back towards the youma, still in slow motion. Pluto waved her staff a bit, and the acid went back to normal speed, hitting the youma. It screamed as the acid burned through its flesh.
Saturn smirked also. “It’s time to end this,” she said in a cold voice. “Saturn…Silence…EXPLOSION!” she shouted out. Some kind of dark gas came out of her glaive and went straight into the youma’s chest. Everything was silent for a moment, and then the youma’s body exploded without a sound into dust, instead of disgusting body parts.
------------------------------
The outers whirled around at the sudden interruption and saw Sailors Star and Galactica leaning on the doorway. “Sailor Star! Sailor Galactica!” Hotaru cried out in surprise.
“Good morning, princesses of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto,” she greeted, amusement sparkling in her eyes.
The girls at the table looked shocked for a moment, then Amara demanded, “Are your really Princess Selenity of the Moon Kingdom, Sailor Star?”
Sailor Star merely smiled. Without saying a word, she raised a finger up, touched her brooch and then the star on her forehead. In a flash of light, her fuku changed into silver ribbons and bright stars that rewrapped around her body to form a dress. In another flash of light, there stood Princess Selenity in all her glory. (dramatic, I know) [Don't care. Shut up.]
When the outers saw the princess, they transformed and then they knelt before her. “Rise, Outer Sailors of the solar system,” she said softly, regally, and with authority. Once they were all standing again, Galactica started giggling a little and Selenity pouted.
“What’s so funny?” Uranus demanded.
...Typical Uranus... Galactica thought. “It’s just the way you quickly reacted,” she said, still giggling. “Remember what Selenity said?”
“What did she say?” Saturn asked, confused.
All the outers turned to Selenity’s pouting face. “Please, no formalities between us,” she said.
They nodded in understanding and smiled. “Yes, Selenity,” they chorused.
Selenity sweat dropped. ‘Well, I guess that it’s better than Princess,’ she thought.
“Who were you in the past, Sailor Galactica?” Pluto asked. “I still don’t have my memories of you.”
Galactica glanced at Selenity and she nodded. Like Selenity, she first touched her brooch and then the teardrop. Her fuku changed to golden ribbons and golden dust, which fixed up to be another dress. In a flash of light, there stood Sailor Galactica in her princess form.
The outers gasped. “You’re the other princess in Serenity’s dream!” Pluto exclaimed.
She nodded. “In my past life, I was known as Princess Lexi Anna Galaxia of the galaxy. I am a cousin to Selenity and younger sister to Sailor Galaxia,” she said majestically while making a curtsy. When she was up, the teardrop on her circlet started glowing and so did the planetary symbols on the outers. There was a flash of light and the outers remembered the young princess who was always found with Selenity.
After it was over, Saturn spoke up. “I remember now. You two were practically inseparable. You were sent to Earth along with Selenity to protect her and keep her company.”
“Yeah, well, she doesn’t really need protecting,” Lexi said, laughing.
“How did you get your sailor powers anyway?” Uranus asked.
“Well, we’ve been training for the past hundreds of years that we were on Earth,” Selenity said. “I got my Cosmos powers and Lexi got her Galaxy powers about 20 years ago.”
“Her name isn’t really Sailor Star but Sailor Cosmos. It’s to hide her true identity for now,” Lexi explained. [Yes, you have to hide her from the people who are going to kick your ass for using Moon's final form from the manga.]
“Well, you need to go to school,” Selenity said, looking at the time, “and so do we.” Selenity and Lexi started to glow, there was a flash of light, and when it was gone, the outers gasped at what they saw.
“Sakura! Anna!” Hotaru cried out. (they had de-transformed) The others were shocked also while the princesses smiled.
“Yes,” Sakura said, smiling. “In my civilian form, I am known as Sakura Cosmos. However, my full name is Sakura Moon Selenity Cosmos.”
“In my civilian form, I am known as Anna Lexi. But my full name is Anna Lexi Galaxia,” Anna said. [Umm, yeah. You just told us that.]
“What do we tell the inners and Serena?” Amara asked.
“You can’t tell them about us,” Sakura said calmly. “It’s not time for them to know yet. They will find out about us when the time is right. In the meantime, just tell them that we disappeared when you went to check on us.”
“Yes, Sakura,” Trista said.
After a little more talking, everyone but Trista left for school, with Amara driving all of them.
[snip]
Sakura looked up when Hotaru led the others inside. “Come sit down and have some refreshments,” she said, gesturing towards the table that had a plate of cookies and cups of tea in front of them.
When Serena saw the food, she sat down and instantly started stuffing her mouth with the cookies. The others sweat dropped but sat down too. “Tea?” Michelle asked. The inners shook their heads but she poured Amara, Trista, Hotaru, Sakura, and herself a cup.
“Who are you really, Sakura?” Lita demanded.
As she took a sip of tea, a silver star started to appear on her forehead. “You have known me as Sailor Star in battle,” she said, transforming at the same time. Everyone gasped except for the outers, who already knew. “Galactica, you can come in now,” she said, eyes sparkling. In a sparkle of golden light, Galactica appeared behind Sailor Star.
Everyone gasped. “How long have you been here?” Amy asked.
“I’ve been here all along,” she said, her voice filled with mirth.
“Anyways, I am not really Sailor Star. My name is really Sailor Cosmos,” Sailor Cosmos said. She then stood up. “But that is not all,” she said. “I am also known as,” there was a flash of silver light, “Princess Selenity Sakura Moon Cosmos of the Moon Kingdom.” She was now in her princess dress, and she gave a deep curtsy. On her forehead, a small, golden crescent moon had emerged in the center of the star.
There was a flash of golden light behind Sakura. “And I am Princess Lexi Anna Galaxia of the galaxy.” In place of Galactica was the princess from Serena’s dreams. “To anyone else, I am known as Anna Lexi.” [They already know your names. They're not slow. Geez...]
Before anyone could question them, their symbols glowed and shot beams of light to the symbols on the inners and Serena’s forehead. Soon, everyone’s memories were restored.
“Saku!” Serena cried out. She rushed over to Sakura and gave her a bone-crushing hug. “I’ve missed you so much!”
Sakura started to turn a little blue. “Um, Sere, I can’t breathe,” she got out.
“Oops!” Serena said, letting go. Sakura sighed in relief. “Hehe, sorry. I guess I couldn’t control myself.”
“It’s okay, Serena,” Sakura said, de-transforming along with Anna. “I understand.”
Lita spoke up. “So, Anna,” she began, “what have you two been doing the past hundreds of years?”
“Well, we’ve mostly been training,” said Anna.
“What was with those transformations earlier?” Mina asked, grabbing a cookie and munching on it.
“Oh, that,” Sakura said, looking thoughtful. “That will be your final transformations.”
“Saku can’t give you your final transformations, but you’ll receive them soon,” added Anna.
“She’s right,” Sakura said. “You’ll get them when the time is right.
