Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: Chaos Theory

Act 55: I Always Want to Protect You

An entire day passes before Sailor Cosmos is seen again. The absence places all of them on edge. They went out in groups to various parts of the city desperately trying to find and draw her out but nothing worked. Each passing minute makes then more restless.

Sailor Pluto and Sailor Charon have monitored the time stream for changes and searched for any signs of starseeds every moment they have but the area to cover is vast. Their absence made it impossible for Mamoru to speak with Setsuna.

Collectivity more memories have returned to the senshi of the previous battle against Chaos. However, the memories were not helpful, they are just painful reminders of starseeds that were lost before and lost again now. Small fragments of the battle against the Black Moon have returned. It only leads to more confusion and turmoil within the group. Their memories are staring to blur between the other timeline and the current one making it hard to determine their correct reality.

Seiya sits back in a chair with his eyes closed as he recalls another memory form his second date with Usagi at Tokyo Tower.

"Yeah... it's like everything else is a million miles away," commented Usagi in a thoughtful tone.

"Sometimes it is good to see things from a different perspective," Seiya said as he thought about all the changes he experience during the past two years of his life. "Things can be..." he paused, as he tried to think of the correct word, "Hectic."

"Yeah..." Usagi murmured. "Since I first awoken a few years ago... that is the perfect way to describe it." Usagi giggled as she thought about how clumsy she was during her first few battles. "You should have seen what I was first like."

"No one starts out with all the answers. We have to gradually figure them out for ourselves or through trial and error." Seiya noticed another large group of individuals by another set of elevators, different than the ones they rode to their current floor. "Where do those elevators go?"

Usagi turned her gaze to see where he pointed. "Oh? That is a special observation deck that was recently added."

"What makes it special?"

"It's higher and supposed to have better views."

"Then what are we doing down here?" Seiya asked. He began to lead Usagi over to the elevators to make their way to the next observation deck. They had a short wait in line until it was their turn to use the elevators.

Usagi smiled deviously as she developed a plan. "Over here," she guided to Seiya to the far side of the tower. She wanted to see how Seiya would react to the glass floor called the Lookdown Window. There were three people looking down through the thick glass. She waited from them to finish before she began to walk forward with Seiya.

"What is over here?" Seiya asked. He looked over to Usagi for an answer, but she provided none. Seiya slowly walked forward and felt his heart rate speed up when he looked down and saw part of the tower base underneath him. "Whoa."

Usagi stood behind Seiya and grinned. She remembered when the other girls first brought her onto the glass area and how she panicked.

Suddenly Seiya reached for her and pulled her toward him to stand on glass with him. "Don't think you can escape this!"

Usagi closed her eyes. She was afraid to look down again.

"Come on Odango, you can't be scared."
