Chapter 22: A Final Effort!  The Inner Senshi Protect the Starlights!
	"Where are the Starlights?" asked Usagi, looking around the Hikawa Shrine.
  "They went to fight Galaxia.  We must do the same," said Haruka.  "Yes.  For the 
sake of our duty," added Michiru.  Everyone was ready to go.  "Moon Eternal Power!"
  "Mercury Crystal Power!"  "Mars Crystal Power!"  "Jupiter Crystal Power!"  "Venus 
Crystal Power!"  "Moon Crisis Power!"  "Saturn Crystal Power!"  "Pluto Crystal 
Power!"  "Neptune Crystal Power!"  "Uranus Crystal Power!"  "Make Up!"

	"How do we get in?" asked Sailor Venus.  Sailor Mercury shook her head.  
"There's a strong force field around the building," she said.  A TV screen that 
was on the outside flickered on.  It showed the Starlights, and they were getting 
beat up by Galaxia!  "We need to find some way to save them!" shouted Sailor Moon.
  Suddenly, a pink, glowing ball with Chibi Chibi inside came floating down from 
the sky, engulfing the 10 Senshi.  Unfortunately, only Sailors Moon, Chibi Moon, 
Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Mars were able to reach Galaxia and the battered 
Starlights, as Chibi Chibi and Sailors Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn were 
teleported to a separate room, in which there were more screens on which they 
could see the others.

	"What are you doing here?  Where's Sailor Saturn?" asked Star Fighter.  
"I'm not sure," said Sailor Moon, standing next to the Starlights.  "You little 
insects!  Give me your Star Seeds!" shouted Galaxia.  Though the beams were meant 
to hit Sailor Moon and the Starlights, Sailors Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Mercury 
protected them, sacrificing their Star Seeds to Galaxia.  "Did you do this because 
of your duty?" asked Star Maker.  "Partially.  But we also did it to protect our 
special friends," answered Sailor Mercury.  "You mean we're your friends?!" 
exclaimed Star Healer.  "Yes.  You girls brought us wonderful music," added Sailor 
Jupiter.  "You liked our music?" asked Star Fighter.  "Of course.  I always wanted 
to sing like you," whispered Sailor Venus.  Sailor Moon cradled Sailor Mars's fading
 body in her arms.  "No!  Rei-chan, don't go!" she sobbed.  "You are too sweet.  Be
 strong, Sailor Moon," said Sailor Mars as she turned to red sparkles.  "Rei-chan!  
Ami-chan!  Mako-chan!  Minako-chan!  Give them back!" shouted Sailor Moon, turning 
angry, tear-stained eyes toward Galaxia, who smirked at her.  "Beautiful.  Would you 
like to see the Star Seed of the Earth?" asked Galaxia, holding out a golden Star 
Seed.  "Mamoru!" gasped Sailor Moon.  "Daddy!" shouted Chibi Moon.  "Now all I have 
is you, my future mommy," she cried, hugging Sailor Moon.

	"Sailor Moon is your mother?  Taiki-chan told me you were her younger 
sister!" exclaimed Star Fighter.  Sailor Moon blushed, ashamed of her lie.  "I told
 her that because I thought she wouldn't believe the truth.  The truth is, 
Chibi-Usa will be my daughter in the future.  The reason she is here now is that 
she was able to time travel here," she explained.  "That would explain why you 
don't fight with her," joked Star Fighter.  "Enough talk!  Now give me your Star 
Seeds!" shouted Galaxia.  Once again, they were saved by Chibi Chibi! 

	Sailor Moon quickly found herself in the same room as the Outer Senshi, 
and she noticed the Starlights were in there too.  Chibi Chibi was asleep in Sailor
 Pluto's arms.  "Where are we?" asked Chibi Moon.  "We are in the Galaxy TV station.  
This is just a different part of it," said Sailor Neptune.  "Hotaru?  What should we do?
  Galaxia is so strong," whimpered Star Fighter.  "We came to fight her, and we will 
win.  Trust in Sailor Moon, Fighter-chan.  She will defeat all evil," said Sailor Saturn.
  "You mean we can't do anything about it?" asked Star Healer.  "I didn't say that.  But
 if we fail, I am sure Sailor Moon will win for us," said the Senshi of Destruction.  "We
 must go and fight Galaxia," said Sailor Pluto, heading for the door, the other three 
Outers following her.  "You three should wait and rest.  You need to recover from your
 injuries," said Sailor Moon, noticing Star Fighter was getting up to go after Sailor 
Saturn.  "Chibi-Usa-san.  I often suspected your relationship with Tsukino-san wasn't
 a sibling relationship," said Star Maker.  "Why?" asked Chibi Moon.  "Because you 
didn't add 'Oneesan' after her name, which is the term of address for an older sister,
 correct?" answered Star Maker.  "That's right, I..." Chibi Moon started giggling too
 hard and couldn't speak.  Sailor Moon, Star Fighter, and Star Healer started laughing
 too, causing Star Maker to blush deeply.  

	"Is that what that meant?!  Here I was, being called that on this planet, and
 I never knew what it meant!" giggled Star Fighter.  "You didn't have name suffixes on
 your planet?" asked Sailor Moon.  "No.  What's the point of those weird things anyway?"
 asked Star Healer.  "They're used to show the relationship or amount of respect one 
has for someone," answered Sailor Moon.   

	Meanwhile, the Outers were valiantly trying to attack Galaxia, but not with much
 success.  Galaxia even managed to break Sailor Uranus's Space Sword.  "She's strong,"
 gasped Sailor Neptune.  "I certainly am.  I do have a way you can survive.  Become 
one of my servants, and you can survive with these bracelets.  Otherwise, I will just
 take your Star Seeds," said Galaxia.  "Never.  I would rather die," answered Sailor 
Pluto.  "Who would join up with you?!" shouted Sailor Saturn.  "Sounds like a good 
idea," said Sailor Uranus, shocking Sailors Pluto and Saturn.  "Yes.  I don't mind 
becoming evil if it means I can be with you," said Sailor Neptune, holding Sailor 
Uranus's hand as they stepped up to Galaxia, ready to become Galaxia's slaves.  "Good 
girls.  First you must give me your Star Seeds," said Galaxia, shooting her bracelet 
beams at them.  Then she gave them bracelets just like the Animates had had.  "Now!  
Your first assignment will be to take the Star Seeds of your teammates!" shouted 
Galaxia, pointing to Sailors Saturn and Pluto, who closed their eyes, and waited 
patiently for the end to come.  Just as their Star Seeds were extracted, the Starlights
 and Sailor Moon entered the room.  "NO!!!!  HOTARU!!!!" screamed Star Fighter, running
 up to Sailor Saturn's fading body.  "Don't worry, Seiya-chan.  Sailor Moon will save
 everyone," whispered Sailor Saturn as she faded away to purple sparkles.  Star Fighter
 knelt on the floor, sobbing very loudly.  "Who did this to them?!" gasped Sailor Moon.
  "They did," said Galaxia, pointing to Sailor Uranus and Neptune, who were standing 
next to her.
