Of Silver Crystals and Feathers

Chapter 1

Space…it doesn’t matter how long you travel through its vast reaches, you always find something new. The old are always dieing, making room for the birth of things new, whether they be mortal creatures or mortal ideas. Cosmos knew that well. She had no idea how long she had been fighting Chaos, trying to put her arch foe to rest, but she knew she had lost count at ten millennia, and she was certain a few millennia had passed since then. Currently she was taking a rest, sitting on an asteroid on the outskirts of a fairly young galaxy. She was surprised when she came across it. The last time she had come through this area there wasn’t anything here. Now she could see a planet in the distance. It surprised her though; the planet had developed fairly quickly, like within a few millennia when it usually takes billions of years.

Twirling a silver lock of hair with her index finger, she let her mind start calculating how to attack Chaos in their next encounter. It was something that she had come accustomed to doing over the years in her free time. She had spent enough time mourning her lost scouts and the future that never came to pass. She even tired of laughing at the irony that she, former Usagi Tsukino, sports failure, the nemesis of Earth’s educational system and klutz of the universe, had spent many of the beginning centuries as Cosmos educating herself, teaching herself grace and the art of wielding various forms of a blade in order to both survive and keep herself busy. Although she had to admit, laughing at the irony at that did take a while to get boring. Chaos still hadn’t gotten over it last time she checked…

Frowning slightly, she looked up as she sensed something of possible danger coming her way. She saw it instantly. Another asteroid heading in the direction of the one she was on. She sighed and got to her feet. Usually she would just leave the asteroid and catch a ride on another one, but she was feeling lazy at the moment and didn’t want to leave. Besides, she hadn’t had a rendezvous with Chaos in awhile and preferred it when the bastard came to her. Closing her eyes, she called upon the power of one of the many star seeds that lay asleep in her, a white star shaped object with two wings coming out of the back and with a red orb in the center came to her hand. She aimed it at the oncoming object, “Star! Serious! Laser!” A beam shot out of the star object and hit the asteroid, obliterating it. The attack was stronger than when Sailor Star Fighter had used it all those years ago, but then again, all her inherited attacks were; they had to be in order to make a dent on Chaos.
