Dedication:  To the fans of under-appreciated characters, especially the villains!

       There must have been a time before Galaxia- I never really thought about it before, but now I realize there must have been a period when I was a senshi protecting a planet of my own.   Did I fight until the end?   I guess not- otherwise I would have died, instead of becoming one of her servants.
       I remember when Iron Mouse joined our happy little family- feel free to notice the irony in that statement.   I loved tormenting her- I was the cat, after all, and it was in my nature to be cruel to those who are weaker then me.  Before she gave up her star seed, I remember her tears as she bade farewell to a dying planet she couldn�t protect.   She had no chance against me- let along Sailors Aluminum Siren and Lead Crow.
      Those two- they were here before me, and probably could have answered the questions that now throb in my body.  Thick as thieves, and so loving.   They remind me of two Senshi I met recently- Uranus and Neptune.   Huh.   Odd, isn�t it?   I must admit to being surprised when Lead Crow allowed Galaxia to destroy Siren without a fight, but people always surprise you- usually in the worst possible way.
       As I look now, I notice things that seemed so unimportant before- flowers, the way rain feels on my skin- simple things that really can�t have much to do with what I am.  Did I notice these things on my planet?   Did my planet have rainbows?   Silly thing, really.   I shouldn�t concerned myself with it- that planet is long dead, taken as Galaxia took so many.   The Golden Senshi has no mercy for those who oppose her.
       I only have one bracelet now, all that sustains me.   I don�t want to die.   Without it, I surely will.   Damn Sailor Moon.   Before that stupid ginzuishou of hers, I didn�t have to worry about things like this.   Since that rain of pure energy (a part of me wants to call it pure love), my thoughts have been all jumbled up.   I occasionally find myself worrying about such frivolities as right and wrong... kuso!   I am not a Ai no Senshi!   I am a Galaxia no Senshi!
       The bracelets Galaxia gave me are finely crafted.   Sometimes I still think I feel the weight of my missing bracelet on my now-white garbed side.   They are beautiful, but I bet my star seed was even more lovely.   She has it, somewhere in her collection.   Occasionally she�ll bring it out to admire her handiwork, and I now find myself staring through the mess of sparkling stars, trying to find the one that was mine.   Not that I�m worthy of it anymore- if I did, but some freak chance, find it, it would darken upon the touch of my dirty hands.
       Damn it!   This is not anything I should be worrying myself over.  I am going to succeed where the others failed.
       Still, a small part of me wonders- what would have happened if Sailor Moon had completed her work?
