So, I've long wrestled with the fact that to have what I want (Usagi as my waifu) I basically have to unmake Chibiusa. Which I don't like. So I hatched a plan to create unique doubles of the Solar System's senshi contingent, using my mostly Cosmere based powerset.
So, Naoko Takeuchi wanted to end Sailor Moon at the end of season one, and set it up for a TPK. The DD Girls finish off everyone but Sailor Moon, and it's up to her to stop Beryl. I could save them, probably. But that's probably a trap. Without the spirits of her friends helping her unlock the power of the silver crystal, stopping Beryl and Metallia is going to be a lot harder. So, I don't prevent the deaths. I let things play out as they do in Canon, except, I'm following along after them, converting their recently deceased bodies to Awakened Lifeless (using the non-ichor-alcohol method) to preserve them and stashing them in the Spiritual Realm for safekeeping. I could resurrect them with the surge of Regrowth, but then their cognitive shadows wouldn't be able to assist Usagi in her final fight. The moment that Metallia/Beryl are defeated, I come out of the spiritual realm and grab Usagi's body too, whisking it out of there and into the spiritual realm with me before the Silver Crystal/Lambda Power resets the world back a year, and returns them to life.
So, now I have a bunch of undead flesh robots made from the original five sailor senshi. I've just got to restore them to full function. To do THAT, we're going to go and collect the seven rainbow crystals. Again. Since the world has been reset, the reincarnations of the seven great youma have been restored, rainbow crystals in each of them again. I'll go around and collect them from their hosts, healing them and liberating them of that burden. At this point, the plot is on to the Dark Moon Clan, Nemesis and Wiseman, and I collect some shards of the Malefic Black Crystal, which is itsself the manifestation of a splinter of capital c Chaos. Now that I have pieces of the MBC, and all seven rainbow crystals, I infuse the crystals with Stormlight and fuse the rainbow crystals and an equivalent shard of the MBC together, to create the Paradox Silver Crystal. With the power of the Paradox Silver Crystal, a micro-perpendicularity I open, and some help from the image of the Broken Pattern, as well as a Spikard Ring for good measure, I reactivate the remnants of the reincarnation spell that Queen Serenity cast. I recombine the Paradox Silver Crystal with Usagi's body, and invest her with 2,000 Biochromatic Breath, manually Returning her to life.
Having been held by me for some time, that Breath includes an imprint of my spiritweb and my mind within it. Having been reconstituted with the inclusion of a measure of Chaos, this is not simply a 1:1 copy of Usagi. She goes by Serena, to keep from being confused with the canon Usagi. Her Returned Name is Moonrabbit the Kind, and she can choose to both manifest as her usual teen self, or in the manner of all Returned being somewhat larger than life, she can manifest in a larger, taller form that is also more mature, more physically developed. Due to the presence of the Paradox Silver Crystal within her, she recieves enough passive investiture to not need one breath a week.
The other four girls are reactivated in a similar manner. Since I cannot wholly recreate their Sailor Crystals, I take advantage of the fact that they are, in fact, Crystals. I grow them. With a bit of energy taken from the canon girls, and slivers of the Malefic Black Crystal to nucleate around, as well as the Paradox Silver Crystal to invest power into the reincarnation spell, I regrow their Sailor Crystals inside of their bodies. I accelerate the process with the Surge of Regrowth, repairing their souls, their spiritwebs. I invest each with 2,000 Breath, and Return them. They DO require a Breath, or other investiture, which generally they get from me, or from the Paradox Silver Crystal.
Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna and Hotaru are a harder matter. I don't manage to add them to the team until much later, when Galaxia is our foe. In their cases, I take the remains left by Galaxia as she tries to drive Usagi toward despair, and use them as the starting point to Soulcast, Forge and Awaken them.
Ultimately, even with my force of doppelgangers, I am unable to convince Usagi not to merge with the Galaxy Cauldron. Fortunately, the Galaxy Cauldron is the Lambda Perpendicularity, so I am able to seek refuge with my team in the Spiritual Realm and not get reset by Usagi when she restores the world. I'm not wholly sure that she'd let me keep everyone if I didn't step out for a moment there.
I don't manage to get duplicates of the Amazoness Senshi, as they never outright die, and leave bodies I can work with to duplicate them. Mildly disappointing.
I do some other meddling with the setting too, along the way. First Season, the Senshi are never quite sure if I'm a foe, rival or ally. Really, I'm kindof all three. I try to save Nephrite for Naru, but I'm unable to intervene in time. What I AM able to do however, is help her avenge him. I hemalurgically spike Jadeite's powers as a Dark General into Naru, granting her the power to get her revenge on Zoisite. I also wind up giving her younger sister Naruru and Naruru's friend Ruruna artificial Sailor Senshi powers. I tried to save Tellu and Mimette, but fail.
It turns out that a daughter of Usagi is pretty much fated to look like Chibiusa, though our Rini can be told apart from her canon counterpart by her blue eyes instead of red and her ability to voluntarily transform into Dark Lady utilizing a pair of Malefic Black Crystal earrings I craft for her.
