Sailor Moon: The Cosmos

Chapter 10

Sailor Moon, the three Starlights, Princess Kaykuu, and Sailor Chibi Chibi landed on ground. But it wasn't dirt or grass. The floor was like a misty cloud. It was solid but it moved as fog in dark clouds. Dust swirled around like they were tripping away from danger. In front of them, a large black door stood. It was double footed and had white circles on it. Large circles were on the top and bottom then small circles made squares around them. It did the same thing until the edges. Both doors were identical.

"What is this place?" Sailor Moon asked from behind Chibi.

As if to answer her answer, the door opened. Sailor Chibi Chibi ran behind Sailor Moon and held on to her leg. Poking out her head around the leg, she watched as the door slowly opened.

"Gate to Zero star." Princess Kaykuu gasped.

The doors opened completely to reveal a desert. The wind pushed the sand around and it hit against their skin. The group slowly walked into their death trap. Once each one passed the door, it closed.

Looking back, Chibi watched as the door faded into the horizon. There is no way out, she thought.

Cough.

It was like Sailor Chibi Chibi couldn't help it. She felt the need to cough. Her throat was dry and scratchy like she hadn't drank in years. Putting her fist up against her mouth. Chibi coughed again. Beside her, the Princess coughed too. "What's happening? I'm so thirty..."

Sailor Moon gasped and it caught Chibi's attention. She looked up to see what shocked Sailor Moon. In front of them, a boat started to sail near them. It was just a normal wood prattle boat that you could see at a pond. Standing on the boat, a woman with a black clock stood with a tall an ore.

The woman stood silent for a moment before speaking. "I am Lethe, the guardian of of this river. Hop on strangers."

A cold shiver went down everyone's spin. The Starlights went on first then helped their Princess and Sailor Moon on. Chibi held herself close to her friend for protection.

The boat started to slide and go across the water. The woman in the cloak stood in the back as she patted slowly down the river. As they sailed farther, the water started to turn darker as they got deeper and deeper into the river. Then they stop.

Everyone looked around. Suddenly, the boat sank. The back of it went down as it was pulled down in the river. Falling back, Sailor Chibi Chibi hit the water. As she moved her arms and legs to swim, she realized that she was being pulled down. Her limbs would help her up. As she went deeper down, Chibi tried to let out of a scream.

Her butt hit ground. Chibi looked up to see the sky. The water that was miles above her sparked against the stars' lights. She blinked.

The Starlights and Princess Kakyuu laid next to her motionless. Chibi tried to roll over to walk but her body wouldn't move.

No, this wouldn't be how it ended. Chibi thought to herself.

She closed her eyes tightly as she tried to focus. Using her powers, she tried to project a light. Her forehead burned as she felt the hidden seven star shine. A warm light started to surround her as the power grew. Her Light of Hope grew brighter under the sea. Inside her head, Chibi screamed out to anyone that would be able to hear. Sailor Moon! Please, anyone! Save us!

Just like that, she felt her power explode. Chibi opened her eyes to see the entire sea turn pink. The light escaped from her and went to the sky. In space, a bright pink light shined around the Zero star. Like a firework, the Light of Hope from Sailor Chibi Chibi lit up the sky for everyone.

Then the light slowly evaporated. Chibi watched as the the water turned to its usual color. As the second passed by, her heart sank. Did it work?

No one came.
