CHAOS FINALE
Episode One: The Light from the Dead Star; Return of Sailor Cosmos

        Story settings; a populated moon revolving around a destroyed world. Other worlds, other moons have been inhabited and still more survivors are fleeing, farther outside the doomed star system.
        She reigns with a iron fist. She purges all who get in her way. Once a black hole of energy reanimated in a humanoid flesh, she entered the star system in disguise and picked out those who would stand in her way.
        She revealed herself to the last remaining, taking all but one. The one of light, Sailor Cosmos stood strong in that last moment when she watched her final ally fall. Bound to a dying world, where people fled in terror and panic, she fought and began to strain.
        What happened to the star within? What was it she was fighting for? Who else were there to stand by her? She fled, like all the others but to the past. Sailor Chaos stood proud and vindictive and took her ultimate revenge.
        Many died in the purging of Earth but survivors managed to live on the Moon, on the planetary moons and Kuiper Belt satellites. It was life full of darkness and despair. With their seemingly last soldier gone, there was nothing left to fight for humanity.
        But not all is lost for dotted in the stars are those who have been lost and chosen again. Stars awakened from their lost, sibling, daughters, sons, family inheriting a Sailor Crystal. And those who have never lost anything but their hearts.
        And she came back with a vengeance. Her light a beacon on her ruined world, she created a haven and sent out her waves in calling.
        And one by one, by family or alone, the new soldiers responded. Once terrified, confused, and filled with no hope but despair and self-pity, that light told them that not all was lost for they still stood. And it was time to end a battle that began since the beginning of time, a time to give birth to a new universe.

Opening
        The moon floats in the space, the crevices and mountains enveloped in oxygen providing domed cities. The most populated moon in the Sol System, the activity is high and morale is half and half. Many have lost hope but others have only hung in there stronger.

        The girl flitted through the crowds, her ponytail weaving in the opposite direction of her body´s movement. Her pale ice blue hair was thin and brushed out over her round face to give it volume but the ponytail was slender and neat, fluttering to her knees as she came to a stop.
        "Darn it! I lost the mailman, again," she groused angrily. She looked down at the packet she had wanted to send to her niece. She was always forgetting to do things like this until the very last minute. At the rate this was, her niece would never receive her birthday present.
        "Augh!" She stomped back to the apartment complex where her studio apartment existed. She opened the door to find her roommate underneath the bottom of the bunk bed, apparently searching for something.
        "Ahem?" She asked dryly.
        Liv Tavor stuck her head out. Her stark red hair, cut up in soft spikes around her head much like a rising sun, her dark blue eyes, so often like black, looked out with a guilty expression.
        "Hi, Heloise!" Liv began nervously. "I was looking for something..."
        "Under the bed?" Heloise crossed her arms. She was a tall Caucasian girl, with wide green eyes that lied about the serious mind behind the child-like face. Liv was another Caucasian, a shade lighter and had several inches over the other tall girl. She easily stood out in a crowd, even if it were just men. She attempted to give a smile but it came out wavery.
        "I can´t find my locket," She said finally, her eyes welling up. "I.. I need it..."
        "Liv, I don´t know where you´d put your stupid jewelry!" Heloise was in no mood to listen and be nice for a change. She hated how whiny Liv was at times but she never really bothered to get to know her enough to figure her out.
        "It´s not stupid!" Came a resounding screech. "It´s a part of my family!"
        Heloise didn´t look up. Unlike her who had only lost her mother and little sister, Liv had lost all of her family, both parents, an aunt, and her older brother. She had no one else. So that meant that the locket held a important picture.
        Now Heloise was feeling guilty. She sighed and began to look with Liv. She found it in the fridge, in the way back behind the bread. She frowned. "Uh, why would it be in here?"
        Liv´s face was flaming red.
        Heloise studied the locket. It bore a strange sign in the shape of a fancy four on the back. "So.. here you go."
        She winced as Liv nearly ripped it from her fingers. "You´re welcome," she called out angrily as Liv fled out the apartment.
        "Sheesh!" She threw her hands up in the air with disgust.

        Liv panted, clutching her treasure to her chest. It hurt to breathe, the attack coming on. Panic settled in her bosom, her eyes welling with tears as she looked up in anguish. Trapped in a sea of moving people, she spotted the dead earth in the fading light.
        Voices echoed in her head, familiar ones that screamed even as she began to move. She felt suffocating, trying to breath what felt like stale air.
        "Hey?" A hand touched her shoulder and she whipped around, her eyes widened with terror. An olive skinned man stood next to her. Older by a few years and maybe a inch taller, his pale jade eyes looked down into hers. His milk chocolate hair fell in soft curls, tied back into a tail that ended to his shoulder blades. "Are you all right?"
        "I..I´m fine," Liv lied.
        The man stared down into her eyes before blinking slowly. She felt suddenly revealed, exposed and her panic and self-disgust filled her senses. He leaned slightly toward her, a curious expression upon his face. "Have we met before?"
        "I don´t think so.." She mumbled, inching backwards.
        "I feel like... a connection," he said carefully.
        "Please. If that´s your type of pick up, it won´t work on me," she bit out and turned to run.
        A single word followed her as she lost him in the crowds. "Amaltheia!"

        "Liv! Run!" A woman rushed toward a younger version of the red haired girl. "Save yourself!"
        "Mamma!" Liv screamed, her fingers reaching out in pain. Blood splattered upon the floor as the strange youma crouched behind the fallen woman. More blood dripped from its limbs. Everyone she had ever loved, all that she had known. She wasn´t enough, never enough.
        "Amaltheia Power, Make Up!" She screamed uselessly. Her power rebounded into her, cutting into her body as she felt backwards. She had lost it, that gift deep within her heart. She was only a child, unable to fully comprehend who she was but she knew that she had failed. Because of her, her family was dead.
        The youma blinked its soulless eyes before melting away. The child proved as no threat and she lay against her mother´s body, slashed to ribbons. Her eyes were wide as she dropped her head.
        "My fault... my fault.." She was found repeating. The people gently tugged her from the ground. The locket clasped in her hands nearly fell and Liv jumped. She caught the slipping item and clutched it to her chest.
        "All dead save one," the officer spoke to another officer. "Likely in search for a senshi."
        "Why´d it leave her?" The other officer stared at the bloodstained child with a suspicious gaze.
        "Leave it. She just lost her family. From the likes of it, she saw it all."
        Oh, if only she could have fought better. But she lost her purpose and disappeared upon the moon. Left alone to the foster care system, she remained unwanted and lost.
        And her regret, her greatest fear, kept her from believing that anyone could be saved. If she could not fight, she would be best as a corpse.

        Heloise fiddled with her pencil, chewing on the eraser as she stared down at the blank sheet. She could just have easily used a computer but she liked to do things by hand sometimes. It gave her fingers training, she smirked thinking.
        There was a scratching sound at the door. She ignored it until the scratching became very insistent.
        She knew that feeding the stray cat would bite her in the ass. Not to mention if her landlord found out, she, and subsequently Liv, would be kicked out. But the poor thing had been nothing more but skin and bones.
        And was pretty much banging on the door by now. It had never been so anxious. She opened the door as the black cat zoomed in. It´s green eyes turned to glare at the offending figure.
        "Listen, you can´t stay here for long," Heloise began, waving a finger.
        She frowned then. A strange symbol was upon the brow, which it had never been there before. "What the hell is that?"
        "It is called a crescent moon," the cat spoke darkly, still glaring. "Thank you so much for letting me in. The thing following me was a little too close for comfort."
        "I, somehow, have lost it," Heloise blinked. "I don´t know how or how to explain it but this is.. just freaky."
        "This is new to me too, you know. That damn silver light did something!"
        "Silver light?"
        "From Earth. It was in the middle of the day here so it just meshed with the sunlight but in the shade, it was silver," The female cat settled down to rest. "And with it, a request."
        "Heloise.. well, first, thank you for taking care of me. Being a stray is hard, especially when you´re female and all the males get too friendly when you´re in heat. Having a lack of food is another problem around here but of course, it´s not the real problem, now is it?"
        "You´re rambling," Heloise pointed out.
        "Shut up, okay? It´s hard enough to figure out what to say in human language, how to explain this next situation is going to be hard to hear!"
        "Fine," she raised her hands. "I´m pretending you don´t exist." She turned to ignore the cat.
        "Sailor Chaos hasn´t destroyed all the senshi," the cat spoke hurriedly.
        Heloise plugged her ears. "I can´t hear you, la la la!"
        "Sailor Cosmos has returned!"
        Heloise was still hearing the cat and was trying even more to make sure she didn´t hear more.
        "You are a sailor senshi!" The cat whispered it and it drifted into Heloise´s mind, a figure standing out as her mother turned toward her with tearing eyes.
        "I love you, my daughter. Do not forget to stand proud and together."
        "I inherited from my mother, haven´t I?" Came the flat tone. Her eyes closed slowly. "I don´t.. I don´t want to be..." She turned slowly. "We lost so much.."
        "And we will keep losing if we don´t stand now," the cat said evenly. "I am Carmen. And you are Sailor Eris."
        "Prove it!" She threw her hands toward the cat, hoping to bluff her.
        The cat´s tail twitched. Half the normal length, the upper half had been lost in an brutal accident. Her once long hair was shortened now by punks who thought to shave her but they began cutting first and she managed to get away before the shaving.
        "Fine." She said coolly before flipping off the bed and coming to a graceful pose. From that flip, a wand fell to the ground. Colored light green and navy blue, it lay on the ground.
        "Well? Pick it up." Carmen ordered.
        As she picked it up, Liv entered to see the cat, the girl, and the pen. And she screamed, knocking it away.
        "What do you think you´re doing?" Liv grasped Heloise´s shoulders, shaking her. "Are you insane!? You cannot accept it!"
        "Leave me alone!" Heloise shoved off the other girl. "I do what I want and you cannot stop me. So stop your bitching and hide like always!"
        Liv pressed her knuckles to her lips. "You don´t get it! We all die! We are all killed! It doesn´t matter what we do, we´ll fail, fail!"
        Her eyes a pained gaze, Heloise felt a stab go through her heart. "Liv... are.. you..?"
        "No.." came the strained whisper. "I cannot.. not... any... more." She felt to her knees. "Everyone... oh god.. it hurt... so much blood." Her eyes closed as she pressed her forehead to the floor, her body shuddering.
        "When all hope is gone, what is there left to fight for?" Carmen spoke gently. "But not all is lost. You have to find your heart again and fight."
        "Leave me alone," Liv´s voice was ugly, her gaze black to the cat. "I will never be a senshi."
        "Fine, ignore the call, be a coward," Carmen dismissed her. "You, on the other hand, are much more promising. Sailor Cosmos would love that, I´m sure."
        "I thought this was all new to you?"
        "I´m just going by what I´d know instinctively."
        "You´re making it all up, aren´t you?"
        "Pretty much, yea."
