17IMPORTANT: Sorry, I haven't been updating. I want to apologize to Odango Forever, Arakasema, Endigo Master, and especially beyblade master. I wish I didn't have to say this, but I may not be updating or continuing on with this story. I am very sensitive about how others feel about me, or my work, and let's just say that I kind of got a super negative review. I really can't blame her or him, because she made some good points, but it still hurts. I mean, that was my very first attempt at a fic. I'm still considering, but there's a big possibility that I may just discontinue. I hope you understand. If you have anything to say about the matter, then just let me know via review or email. Like I said before, I am really sorry.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or anything.

Recap:
"We should," Sailor Mars said. "I want some answers and I'm getting them." She went out the door and jumped onto a nearby roof. The others looked at one another and then followed.
CHAPTER NINE
When they were about a block away from the outers' mansion, they jumped off the roof into an alley and de-transformed. They walked the rest of the way, and once they were at the door, they rang the doorbell. After a few moments, the door opened, and they were greeted by Hotaru. "Come in," she said, a small smile on her face.
"Hotaru, what's going on?" Raye asked as they walked in.
"You'll find out soon," she said, leading them into the living room. When all of them were in, they saw Sakura sitting in the middle of one of the couches. Amara and Michelle was sitting on one side of her while Hotaru and Trista sat on the other side.
Sakura looked up when Hotaru led the others inside. "Come sit down and have some refreshments," she said, gesturing towards the table that had a plate of cookies and cups of tea in front of them.
When Serena saw the food, she sat down and instantly started stuffing her mouth with the cookies. The others sweat dropped but sat down too. "Tea?" Michelle asked. The inners shook their heads but she poured Amara, Trista, Hotaru, Sakura, and herself a cup.
"Who are you really, Sakura?" Lita demanded.
As she took a sip of tea, a silver star started to appear on her forehead. "You have known me as Sailor Star in battle," she said, transforming at the same time. Everyone gasped except for the outers, who already knew. "Galactica, you can come in now," she said, eyes sparkling. In a sparkle of golden light, Galactica appeared behind Sailor Star.
Everyone gasped. "How long have you been here?" Amy asked.
"I've been here all along," she said, her voice filled with mirth.
"Anyways, I am not really Sailor Star. My name is really Sailor Cosmos," Sailor Cosmos said. She then stood up. "But that is not all," she said. "I am also known as," there was a flash of silver light, "Princess Selenity Sakura Moon Cosmos of the Moon Kingdom." She was now in her princess dress, and she gave a deep curtsy. On her forehead, a small, golden crescent moon had emerged in the center of the star.
There was a flash of golden light behind Sakura. "And I am Princess Lexi Anna Galaxia of the galaxy." In place of Galactica was the princess from Serena's dreams. "To anyone else, I am known as Anna Lexi."
Before anyone could question them, their symbols glowed and shot beams of light to the symbols on the inners and Serena's forehead. Soon, everyone's memories were restored.
"Saku!" Serena cried out. She rushed over to Sakura and gave her a bone-crushing hug. "I've missed you so much!"
Sakura started to turn a little blue. "Um, Sere, I can't breathe," she got out.
"Oops!" Serena said, letting go. Sakura sighed in relief. "Hehe, sorry. I guess I couldn't control myself."
"It's okay, Serena," Sakura said, de-transforming along with Anna. "I understand."
Lita spoke up. "So, Anna," she began, "what have you two been doing the past hundreds of years?"
"Well, we've mostly been training," said Anna.
"What was with those transformations earlier?" Mina asked, grabbing a cookie and munching on it.
"Oh, that," Sakura said, looking thoughtful. "That will be your final transformations."
"Saku can't give you your final transformations, but you'll receive them soon," added Anna.
"She's right," Sakura said. "You'll get them when the time is right.
Later that night
"So," Anna said, putting her bowl and chopsticks down, "who's going to do the dishes tonight?"
Sakura set her bowl and chopsticks down, too. "I'll wash the dishes, but you'll help clean the table up." She stood up and took her bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen.
"Sure," Anna said, following her with her own stuff. They both set the utensils in the sink. Next, Sakura wet a small rag and handed it to Anna.
"Here," she said. "Wipe the table so that it is clean." Anna took the rag and left. Sakura started to do the dishes, and soon enough, they were all done. As she was exiting the kitchen, she stopped in mid-step. Anna suddenly rushed into the room. "Did you-" I started to ask.
She nodded. "Yes," Anna said. "A large amount of evil somewhere downtown."
"Yes. It feels like there are more than one youma there. You go ahead. I need to contact the outers and have them contact the inners," Sakura said.
Sakura's POV
I watched as Anna transformed into Sailor Galactica and teleport out of here. Then, I closed my eyes and concentrated on Michelle.
/Michelle./ I thought after I found her.
'Yes, Sakura?' I heard Michelle respond. 'Is there something wrong?'
I sighed mentally. /Unfortunately, there is. Anna and I sensed lots of evil vibes somewhere downtown. We're guessing that there are more than one youma there. Anna already transformed and went ahead of me. I need you to contact the others and meet us there./ I told her.
'Yes, Sakura. Neptune out.'
I sighed out loud. This will be a long battle. "Cosmos…Star…POWER!" I called out. I transformed and then teleported to where I could sense Galactica's aura. I opened my eyes and my eyes widened when I saw that I was in the center of about fifty youma. I looked behind me to see Sailor Galactica with a few bruises on her body with her fuku a bit torn up. "Oh, crap," I muttered. "Are you all right, Galactica?" I said a little louder.
She nodded. "They're a lot stronger than the others, and it doesn't help that there are about fifty of them."
I thought quickly. 'I hope this will work,' I thought. I took off my earrings and threw them both to the air high above me. They stayed airborne and exploded in a bright flash of light. It blinded the youma, but not anyone else because they didn't have evil intentions. I turned back to Galactica, who had gotten healed by the light. "Let's team up against them," I suggested.
She smiled and nodded. "GALACTIC TEAR OF PLANETS!" she cried out.
"COSMOS STAR OF DESTRUCTION!" I cried out. The two beams combined, destroying five of the youma.
"Mars Inferno Ring!"
"Jupiter Thunderstorm Strike!"
Galactica and I turned around to see the two attacks hit one of the youma. Unfortunately, the youma had a tough, crystal-like surface, and the attacks bounced off of it. The reflected attacks headed straight for one of my earrings and shattered it!
"No!" I cried out as half the youma got their eyesight back and started attacking the inners and outers that arrived. I heard a scream and turned around to see Sailor Moon, injured, and the youma ready to finish her off.
