Version 2

This is a re-write of one of my old Fan Fictions. My friend Starr really got me back into writing them so I want to dedicate this chapter to her and personally thank her.

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or Dragon Ball Z, if I did Vegeta and Usagi would have been married and had loads of babies by now.

Dark Side of the Moon

- 1 -

Usagi had always been a creature that spent her life in isolation. Under Freizia's strict orders she'd been confined to her brother's, Raditz's bedroom until called upon. When she was needed for missions he required her to wear a uniform that consisted of a baggy jumpsuit and helmet. The helmet was for concealing her identity and the jumpsuit had a duel purpose. Frezia required her breasts to be bounded to her chest and her tail to be tucked inside of jumpsuit, further concealing her identity and race.

In her opinion, she looked more like the bounty hunters she had come across than a member of the notorious army Frezia commanded, who regularly walked around in armor and spandex uniforms.

It was commanded that anyone who got a glimpse of Usagi, even accidental, were sentenced to death. It seemed odd that the great, mighty and powerful Frezia was so cautious about letting anyone in on this blond, blue eyed petite girl. The answer laid in this young girl's blood and power. Usagi was the last full blooded sayjin female and after destroying the sayjin's home world Frezia didn't want to have any more little monkeys running around. After the last remaining males that he allowed to live were murdered he would bid adieu to the last of his horrid monkey race.

The only reason that Frezia even allowed the girl sanctuary on his floating fortes instead of leaving her to die like the rest of her people was because of King Vegeta's mysterious interest in her.

Frezia to this day still had no idea why this girl had been so special to King Vegeta but he made a silent vow to find out. The truth that had been kept hidden from him and even Usagi herself was that she was born with a power level of 11,000. For an infant, not to mention a female infant that was unheard of. Upon inspecting Usagi, King Vegeta and his advisors felt that she might one day become the legendary super sayjin that they all revered.

King Vegeta sensed that the Sayjin race would soon be coming to an end and wanted an ace up his sleeve, sort of speak. Thinking that this girl would be easy to control and manipulate King Vegeta kept her alive. Years later when Broly was born with a power level of 10,000 he wouldn't share the same fate. King Vegeta had called for his immediate executions but lucky for him he escaped, alongside his father.

Wanting to control Usagi every move King Vegeta removed her not only from her third-class family but all prying eyes. He kept her under lock and key in an isolate wing of the palace.

Unfortunately for King Vegeta this had been his greatest downfall. By not allowing Usagi to exit her room for anything besides being bathed under the watchful eyes of his servants he'd not allowed her to gain any fighting experience nor allowed her ki level to flourish. All of her power seemed to be untapped and she wasn't any kind of match for Frezia when he came on that fateful day to destroy Planet Vegeta.

The only thing that went in her favor that day was Frezia's new found interest in her resulting in him taking her into his custody. But Usagi would discover that Frezia treated her in the same fashion that she had been accustomed to. The only difference was that Frezia had actually allowed her to be trained properly, but only at designated times and places.

The sayjin in her strived to be able to fight and train every moment of each day but being confined hadn't allowed her to give into her instincts. The missions that she'd actually been allowed to even participate in usually required little to no ki nor muscle power. Frezia had allowed her to train, thinking that one day he could use her but hadn't wanted her power level to increase before he found out the mystery that was Usagi.

Another plus that had come from being held on this flying fortress was that she'd been reunited with her older brother, Raditz. He was currently the only family member that she had that knew of her existence.

Bardock, her father had died along with every other sayjin when their planet was destroyed. Outsiders might have pegged her to be a little upset by this, working for the man that had killed not only her father but her race. But, the truth to this sad story was that Usagi felt numb upon hearing about his death. She'd never had the pleasure of meeting the man who gave her up to his King and therefore had not feelings for him. It was as if she was hearing about a stranger's death rather than her own father.

Her mother, whose name Usagi wasn't aware of had died giving birth to her younger brother, Kakarott. Being the youngest and one of the weakest sayjin infants in the infirmary he had been sent on a low grade mission to a remote planet. Her oldest brother, Turlus she had met on a couple of occasions with Raditz. He'd never acknowledge her presence when they had their encounters and a part of her wondered if he ever released that they were related. Frezia had sent him on various missions all over the galaxy and he rarely returned the command base.

For as much as Usagi had been grateful to be reunited with Raditz he had turned out to be what one might call bad company. He never liked to spend any time with Usagi in his bedroom, much rather being off in space or at least at the bar. Not caring or censoring himself to shield Usagi's feelings. He didn't care that he was purposefully rubbing her nose in the fact that she had no freedom.

On good days when he would come back to his room drunk he would tell her vast and great tales of the outside world. His stories seemed like fairy tales to her when she would hear him tell about how he, Nappa and Prince Vegeta were on 'Planet X' for three days exterminating all life and or enslaving 'Race X'.

He never noticed how much she envied him and in her jealous grew to hate him.

Because in actuality Raditz had everything her little black heart desired most in this world, freedom.

Usagi let out a deep sigh as she plopped herself down on her bed, dish rag in hand. In efforts to not be driven to insanity by her sheer boredom she had decided to move all the furniture in her brother's room and deep clean everything. The problem that she'd encountered was that there wasn't a dust bunny in sight because she had done the same cleaning routine every couple of hours for the past couple of weeks.

'Ten minutes,' she thought as she grazed upon the red blinking numbers next to her bed. 'That's a new record.'

Letting out another sigh she grabbed a hold of her helmet that laid on the night stand in-between her and her brother's bed. Looking it over, she knew that there wasn't a spec of dirt on it. How could there have been, she hadn't been allowed to see the outside world in over three weeks? But that didn't stop her from spitting on it as she began to polish it for the billionth time that week.

Usagi could feel herself drifting in and out of consciousness, her vision coming and out of focus. She'd had been so out of it that when the door slid open it had startled her so much that she found herself jumping to her feet.

Usagi calmed when she saw her brother entering the room. "What is it?" She asked as she walked over to him, bent on pestering him like an overly excited puppy. Her eyes were silently pleading with him to give her news on their new mission.

"Get your stuff brat, we're leaving." Raditz said rather emotionlessly, but it wasn't enough to deter Usagi's good mood.

Usagi felt like a kid on Christmas morning, silently cheering in her head. Already dressed in her jumpsuit she pulled her golden mane into a tight bun as she pulled on her helmet. As Raditz looked her over she pulled down the visor.

Upon getting his nod of approval she followed him out the door and down the long corridor. "What's the mission? Who do we get to kill this time?" Usagi asked as she practically bounced behind him, not being able hide her excitement.

Raditz growled as his younger sibling, "Keep quite brat and don't ask any questions."

Her brother's command had left Usagi bewildered; usually he would inform her of all the mission's objectives and details on their way to the docking bay. It was common sense to do it this way just in case something or other happened to his pod and she was left to handle the mission alone.

Brimming with curiosity that outweighed any rational thoughts she continued to pester him. "But why-" Usagi had been cut off as she watched her older brother turn around and grab her by her throat quite harshly.

"You'll shut that mouth of yours or I'll cut out your tongue!" He screamed in warning while crushing her windpipe with his bare hands. Usagi coughed, squirming, trying desperately to get out of his grasp. Raditz darkly chuckled as he watched her, releasing his grip on her and watching her cynically as she gasped for breath. He gripped her painfully by the shoulders and brought her closer to his body. "We're not going on one of Lord Frezia's little missions." His voice was almost unauditable as he spoke so that only her sayjin hearing could pick it up. He eyed all the guards as they walked by suspiciously, "Don't ask any questions until we leave."

Savagely releasing her with a push he turned and continued walking towards the docking bay. Usagi hands shot up to her throat as she tried desperately to suppress her coughs while she followed her brother's footsteps. The rest of the journey had been made in silence as Usagi was now fully aware that questioning her brother's actions would result in pain.

Upon arriving at the docking bay Usagi was greatly surprised to see that none of the technicians were present. Her big blue eyes stayed locked on Raditz's body as she watched him walk over to the console and begin to type away on its key pad.

Moments later he gave her a signal and as she turned her head she saw one of the pod doors opening. Without a word Usagi walked over to it and sat down.

"Feel lucky, you're finally going to meet our prince." She heard her brother whisper as the pod door began to close. Before she could get a chance to respond the pod door fully closed. A few moments later she felt the pod jerk as it was being propelled into the vast reaches of space. The sleep system kicked in effectively knocking her out even before she could mull over her brother's words.
