I don't know exactly what happens in episode 200 of Sailor Moon, but I've seen pictures and got the general idea, so I thought I'd write this to describe what it might have been like to be in Sailor Moon's place when she faced Chaos. In this story, you take the place of Sailor Moon, no matter what gender you are. There are no distinguished characteristics that tie in with you in this story. Just you and Chaos, and a few pictures. Enjoy...
You look around, alarmed. Suddenly, you're surrounded by colors. Dark, swirling colors, but colors nonetheless. You start to wonder where you are, as you notice that you aren't sitting in front of the warm glow of your computer screen. Have you died and gone to Hell? This place is very creepy. You attempt to warm yourself up by rubbing your hands against your arms, but you can't shake that cold feeling.
Someone is watching you.
And then you see her. She's tall and powerful, suspended high above you. You're suddenly aware that you are floating as well. You look up, there is no sky or ceiling. You look down. No floor. Just darkness all around, limitless. You almost forget about the beauty above you in the golden fuku.
She's still there when you look up, standing as if waiting for something. She is dressed in a metallic outfit with metal boots and odd looking bracelets. She also wears a helmet made of shining gold, which should look dull in this kind of light, but glows despite everything. She has a serene expression on her pretty face, but as she looks down at you, you see the hate and evil in her eyes.
She is holding a large sword.
And suddenly you are too. It's heavy in your hands, and you feel the fear as you wish you could move. You have to look up to see her. This soldier of hatred has the advantage. She shifts her sword in her hands, readying herself to strike. Your heart skips a beat as your clammy hands hold tighter to the sword. You have no intention to use it, but you're afraid that you'll have to.
"Think this over," you try to say. It seems she doesn't hear your words.
She stares at you with the same exact expression.
"There's good inside you," you insist. And deep down, you know it's true. You see the beauty deep within, amidst the darkness. And she sees it too. She winces, as if fighting herself. You can see the glimmer of struggle within her as she shakes her head. She is no longer looking at you.
"Chaos," you hear her murmur. Her golden armor breaks, pieces shards raining down on you. By instinct, you shield yourself with your arms, looking down. The pieces bounce off of your skin. It's a miracle you're not cut.
"Galaxia!" you find yourself shouting up to her. So that's her name.
But she isn't Galaxia anymore. She looks like her evil twin. (Even more evil than she was before.) The top of her metal helmet is red, the remaining parts black. Everything golden about has gone dark. Her skin tone has changed to a light violet. Even her purple eyeshadow has changed to blue. Her eyes are glowing an intense red color. Her golden sword is now a shining ebony color.
"The Golden Senshi is no more," the creature declares, its dark wings flapping quickly, as if in triumph. It is Chaos, and it has broken through Galaxia's exterior.
Your eyes are basically bulging out of your head as she quickly moves towards you. She is holding up her sword, ready to strike. Suddenly, she's in front of you, and a cry escapes your lips as you raise your sword in defense. To your shock and horror, you start to tip over.
The force from the blow has knocked you backwards. You feel dizzy as you realize you are falling.
Down, down, down....
You're struggling to hold your sword away from your drifting body. You look down, or up rather, to see Chaos coming down after you, sword raised.
You silently gasp, feeling soft pressure on your back. Have you hit the bottom? Are you dead? No, far from it. You feel something tickle your neck. A feather?
You have suddenly grown white wings. You're now floating upright again, and fly up to meet Chaos. This time, you are not afraid. You have become determined to defeat this monster and bring out the good Galaxia inside.
The two of you meet halfway. You stand in front of each other, her black dragon wings the exact opposite to your white angel wings. Both of your swords are raised.
She takes a swing, and you block it easily. You automatically gain confidence in this. You are ready to fight back. You make a swing for her head, hoping to kill her, but your sword shatters on her neck. She doesn't even flinch. What has happened?
You have abused the power of this mystical sword. You now are aware that you cannot defeat this monster by killing it. You must reach deep within its soul, or what may be left of it...
You're reaching your hand. Chaos narrows its eyes at you, but doesn't strike. A vision slowly comes to you:
She's a beautiful girl, floating in a field of clouds and flowers. The light blue sky seems to set her hair aglow, as her back is turned to you. Her hair is long and golden, the tips looking like they were dipped in maroon paint. She looks over her shoulder at you. She has been waiting for you for so very long. It is the good Galaxia, in her purest form. This was her before she took the weight of the world on her shoulders. And she still exists, deep within the mangled exterior that is now Chaos. You are now facing Galaxia, the light from the sun nearly blinding you. You desperately reach for her hand. She seems so far away, but she reaches for your hand anyway. She has a small smile on her face. You close your eyes as she takes your hand.
But then your eyes fly open as the cold hits you. You are floating above Chaos, tightly grasping its hand. Its eyes are wide with shock, its lips parted in awe. Before your very eyes, a blast of light flashes from where your hands connect, and they reach down to Chaos. The light spreads down its length, Galaxia appearing in Chaos' place. Her brilliantly shining hair drenches over her shoulders, cascading a beautiful curtain around her.
"Galaxia!" you breathe in awe. She gives you her knowing smile.
The two of you are suspended in air, now in the field of clouds and flowers.
You have reached her very heart. You have brought out the good in her and saved your galaxy, your whole existence. You have achieved the impossible. Chaos is no more. In its place, love and trust has spilled out over the universe.
I'll bet that's one big ego boost.
