Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: Chaos Theory

Act 57: Fading Stars from Kinmoku

"Damn it!" Sailor Uranus hits the wall in anger. She slowly moves her hand when she realizes where she hit made a hollow sound. After staring at the wall for a moment she walks closer to the wall and taps on the wall with her knuckles to confirm the hallow sound.

Sailor Pluto is standing next to her instantly. She helps Sailor Uranus track the hallow sound from the wall.

After carefully searching the wall, they find a latch behind a pile of books to reveal a hidden door. After exchanging a glance at each other, they open the door to find several vials of a substance.

Sailor Pluto reaches in first and examines it letting out a deep breath. "I think this is it. The coloring looks similar."

Sailor Uranus lets out a deep breath. "I hope this works. If not she's going to be even angrier and we don't have another plan."

Sailor Pluto nods her head. "Life always has a way of finding ways to challenge us."

They search around the lab one last time for anything that could help them. When they find nothing they leave Nemesis.

Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki leave the apartment to pick up food and look for Usagi the following day. They were unsuccessful in their search for her yesterday. Though Taiki and Yaten would never admit it out loud, they are glad to finally step outside out of the hotel for a little while.

Yaten inhales the fresh air deeply before stating, "I hope they come back soon. All of this waiting around is annoying."

"But are you ready for the difficult battle that will follow?" Taiki counters. "This is similar to the calm before the storm. Or in this case, the main battle."

Yaten responds by shrugging his shoulders.

"We still need to gather more of the rings first. I want the battle to end as fast as possible." Seiya adds, trying to change their focus on what they can do in the present.

"I can battle you right now if makes you feel better," Sailor Cosmos appears in front of them.

The Three Lights instinctively takes a few steps back for her, watching her every moment.

Sailor Cosmos glares at them. "Venus and Mars were more welcoming at first... but they are no longer an issue. Their starseeds belong to me now and yours will soon as well."

A lump forms in Seiya's throat at her words. He takes a moment before he is ready to address her. "You took the starseeds of some of your closest friends. Odango, we can end this if you fight against Chaos."

Sailor Cosmos interrupts him by laughing. "Usagi gave up fighting a while ago. It's kind of pathetic."

"I don't believe that. If you really gave up, why are so many of your rings missing?" His is voice no longer hesitant.

She looks down at her fingers and sees three are all she has left. Her eyes narrow at him. "I assume you think you can just take more of them?"

Seiya boldly takes a step forward. "You already gave me three."

"Seiya..." Taiki's voice is meant as a warning not to push it as Sailor Cosmos intensifies her glare at Seiya. He places his hand in his pocket over his transformation headset. It is only a matter of time until they will need to transformation and defend themselves.
