Hey guys! So this is my second Sailor Moon Crossover and first time DBZ fic. I'm a bit nervous to say the least since I'm stemming away from my usual Harry Potter fics. Ever since I finished watching DBZ with the hubby, this idea started to brew. This will be AU for the most part but I will be pulling from both myths of the shows/manga. In the Sailor Moon universe we learn that all life comes form the Cauldron and that some star seeds become Crystals which it then goes to one person who becomes the Guardian of the planet. I wanted to call Telluce Sailor Vegeta but all I could imagine was Vegeta (The Prince of all Saiyans) in a Sailor uniform...The image was both funny and disturbing to say the least!
Anyway, so that's the back story to that! I'm still trying to get Vegeta down as a character so if he sounds OOC, let me know. Also, this will not be a Vegeta/OC. I'm a strong Vegebul shipper. XD
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ or Sailor Moon. They're owned by Akira Toriyama and Naoko Takeuchi respectively. I own a comfy couch though! :D
Author's note: I would like to know/read your thoughts on the characters. I like to keep them in character so yeah, if they think they're OOC, let me know and I'll try to adjust.
Chapter 1
Bra had one of her father's arms draped behind her neck while Goten had the other. Even though she and her father were the same height, he definitely weighted ten times more than Bra's weight. "Quick, this way," she whispered to her friend. With one quick and strong kick, Bra knocked the door open and led Goten inside the dark and dusty place. "We'll hide here until dad wakes up."
With one quick and graceless move, they settled the unconscious Vegeta into a dirty sofa. Sighing with relief, Bra settled herself on the floor next to her father; she was grateful that they had managed to get away from Nemesis and her henchmen alive. Goten on the other hand decided to make sure that the place was indeed empty. Something that he had learned from Vegeta was that you can't never be too careful and never underestimate your opponents. So he proceeded to sweep the place from top to bottom.
Bra on the other hand surveyed her surroundings. She hadn't been back in Capsule Corp for at least five years since the war broke out. And just like the rest of civilization, the place was close to collapsing. She knew it was dangerous to be in the building, but she didn't have a clue of where else to go. She stole a glance at her father and wondered for how long they could keep on going like this.
Bringing her knees up to her chest and resting her head on her forearm, Bra thought back everything that had happened in those short years. She had witnessed her mother's sacrifice to save her father and had only heard of Gohan's fight against Goku that had only ended with Gohan's death. Chichi, Pan and Videl hadn't last long under Piccolo's protection after Nemesis got hold of Trunks. She had seen so many people die…
"Bra, are you hurt?" she heard Goten ask her.
Before looking up, she made sure that her tears were gone; Saiyans don't cry, and being a half-Saiyan wasn't an excuse to begin doing so. "No, just tired." It was the partial truth. She couldn't remember the last time she had a full night's rest. "Are we clear?"
"Yeah," he said as he nodded his head. "Wow, it's been forever since we've been here."
"The last was when your dad…"
Goten's eyes darkened at the mention of Goku. It had been five years since his father had become part of Nemesis's evil brigade. It had been at Trunk's twenty-third birthday celebration. Bra had been only eleven at the time, but she could still remember the commotion of Nemesis showing up unexpectedly above Capsule Corp with another unknown Saiyan by her side. She could recall her father's shocked face at the prospect of another Saiyan being alive and how it quickly melted into anger when the Saiyan started to attack Trunks.
Everyone intervened with her father in the lead to help her brother. However, without knowing how or why, Goku had switched sides. It had taken her father, Trunks, Gohan and Goten to ascent into their Super Saiyan forms to defeat Goku. Ever since then, the battle for planet earth had begun. Nemesis and her two Saiyans had easily collapsed all of the earth's leading countries which only fed the anarchists to do what they wanted.
A year later things went from bad to worse.
Goku and the other Saiyan showed up unannounced at Gohan's house and began attacking him and his family. Goten had sent Trunks a telepathic plea for help, prompting her brother and father rush to Gohan's house. Bra had pleaded with Vegeta just before he flew out the door after Trunks. She wanted to help as well but her mother had put her foot down; only Trunks had gotten to go with him that night.
Her father had come back the day after drenched in blood, bruised, and with more than a couple of ribs broken. Trailing behind him were a distraught Chichi, Videl and Pan. Bra could still remember her mother's face as she waited for Trunks to walk through door.
"Vegeta, where's Trunks…?" her mother had asked while Bra's father avoided all eye contact with Bulma. Before anyone could, or even dare to stop her, she ran outside with Bra in tow. She was almost sure she was going to find her brother's dead body waiting for them outside. But instead they saw Gohan's battered body being mourned by a solemn Piccolo and an upset Goten.
"Piccolo, what happened?" her mother asked as Bra crouched down next to Goten and gave him a hug. They could bring him back with the Dragon Balls, she was sure of it. But it still didn't make it any less hurtful to see a dead sibling in front of you.
"Goku and that other Saiyan arrived at Gohan's house and attacked them. The boy put up a strong fight but it wasn't enough…But his bravery saved his wife, mother and child."
"What about-"
"I don't know how she's doing it, but Nemesis is brainwashing Goku and controlling him. And she's done the same thing with your son."
"What?" Both Bra and her mother asked simultaneously.
"Trunks was fighting alongside us against Dad and the Saiyan. I wasn't sure where he had gone but by the time I saw him again he had joined them," Goten explained through gritted teeth. "Nemesis was above us, laughing and holding something glittery in her hands. I tried going after her but I was knocked down by the Saiyan."
After that brief conversation, Bulma had rushed to confront Vegeta before collapsing in his arms, crying. Her father felt awkward at such display of affection but he just held on to his wife as she cried for Trunks. After a quick burial of Gohan's body, Piccolo and Goten took Chichi and the rest of Gohan's family somewhere in the mountains for protection.
Everything after that happened so fast.
With three Saiyans at her beck and call, Nemesis began calling herself Queen of Earth. But far as Bra was concern, that bitch wasn't interested in the ruling earth but its destruction. People began to flee the cities to get away from thugs who did whatever they wanted. The rebels had tried coming into Capsule Corp attempting to take whatever they wanted but they were quickly scared off by a pissed off Vegeta.
A month after Gohan's death, Goten arrived at the compound knocking on death's door. It had taken a week and her mother's expertise with Saiyan injuries to heal Goten; Dende had disappeared and thought to be dead at this point since no one had been able to find him or the Dragon Balls. When Goten finally awakened, he explained, with tears in his eyes, that Goku and Trunks had found them. Bra couldn't believe what her friend was saying: Goku had killed his wife, daughter-in-law and granddaughter without a hint of remorse.
Years down the road and many deaths later, it was only Bra, Goten and her father who were left to attempt and defend earth. And so far they were losing.
"What's left to fight for, Goten?" she asked, feeling the hot tears burning in her eyes. She dared not to blink, for if she did, the tears would not stop.
Before he could answer, both Bra and Goten felt a large Ki signature randomly appear outside the compound.
"D-do you feel that?" Bra asked, standing from her spot, left hand going to the weapon she had strapped to her thigh. Even though her father hated human weapons, Bra knew that he couldn't deny the fact that they had saved her a handful of times. Her mother had been an excellent shooter and had made sure to teach her just before her death.
"Yeah," he answered, as the gold aura of a Super Saiyan surrounded him. "Stay here," he said, his teal eyes giving Bra no room for argument.
"Yeah, right," she called out after Goten who was already outside the compound. The aura around her ignited to a pale blue and in an instant, she was besides her friend.
Standing in front of them was an older woman with long and beautiful dark green hair and piercing yet sad red eyes. She wore a short black and white skirt, white bodice with a red bow, and knee high boots. The outfit was highly resonant to Nemesis's own short black skirt, black bodice and knee high boots that it was no wonder that Goten immediately thought of her as an enemy. Without questions or hesitations, he fired a Ki blast in both hands but before he could attack her, the woman raised one hand, pleading, "Please, don't," she said; other hand holding tight to a key-shaped staff.
Bra pointed the gun at her and, without even realizing it, she gave the new arrival her best Vegeta-like scowl. "Why should we?"
"Because I'm here to help you," she said with her hand still up in the air, her eyes beseeching for them to listen. "Please, let me explain who I am and why I'm here." Before they could even think of their answer, however, a large ki blast flew past them hitting the woman.
"Well, so much for that…" Goten sighed as they looked back to see Vegeta leaning against the door frame and clutching his ribs.
As the dust settled, Bra was surprised to see the woman standing. She guessed that it was the energy wall surrounding her that protected her from her father's strong attack. "Please, let me talk," she said in between coughs. She looked past Goten and Bra to her father who was dangerously close to passing out again. Bra wanted to rush by his side but she knew better than that by now. "Vegeta, Nemesis's downfall depends on you."
"What the hell are you talking about woman?" Vegeta snarled as he crossed the grounds. He did his best to ignore the memories of his wife lounging about the backyard with their screaming children. He shook his head, trying to forget those memories. He needed to stay focused on the today and keep himself and the two young Saiyans alive; not in the past and on those who were dead. "Who the fuck are you? How do you know my name?"
"Are you going to keep attacking me?"
"If you don't explain yourself soon, I will," Vegeta scowled, his arms firmly across his chest.
"My name is Setsuna Meioh and I'm a Guardian."
"A guardian?" Goten asked while Vegeta involuntarily raised an eyebrow, slightly taken aback by the title. "I'm from another universe, the fourth one to be exact, and Nemesis's rise has affected us as well. I am the Guardian of Time and Keeper of Gates, Sailor Pluto. I don't have much time but I'm here seeking for your help in order to defeat Nemesis."
"You haven't answered my question, how do you know my name?"
The woman threw a small disk on the floor, which prompted Vegeta, Bra and Goten into their battle stance. "Don't worry, it'll only show you images." And just how she said, an image erupted out of the disk. It was of a little girl with long black hair braided in a French style. Her outfit, however, was intricate. An armored silver skirt, breast plate that somewhat resembled her father's armor, white boots and matching gloves. What caught Bra's attention was the tail wrapped around her waist. She had heard of the Saiyan tail from Gohan and was glad to know that she had never had one.
Vegeta immediately recognized the girl. "What is this nonsense?" He was definitely done playing games with this woman.
"She waited for you to show up at the docks," Sailor Pluto said as she waved her hand across the image, changing it. This time it was a much younger Vegeta sitting on a throne with a Saiyan woman by his side.
"How…what is the meaning of this?" Vegeta snarled at the image. Furious to be show such nonsense.
"Like I said, the rise of Nemesis can be prevented, but it all depends on you," Setsuna repeated. "The image that you see is that of your unadulterated timeline. You were supposed to meet the Guardian at the docks and with her help and of the rallying of the other Saiyans, you were to defeat Frieza once and for all. With your father's death, you would've have become the youngest Saiyan king planet Vegeta ever saw. The Guardian would've been your mate and she would've given you three heirs." Bra found herself staring at a new image of two males and a female Saiyan. The oldest of the three resembled her father so much, it was a bit frightening.
"With time, Vegeta," Setsuna continued, "you would've conquered Laluriani, a planet just at the edge of your universe. and birthplace to Nemesis. Without even knowing, you would've killed a great enemy before her awakening."
"Who or what exactly is this Nemesis?" Goten asked as he sat on the ground. Bra followed suit while her father continued to stare at Setsuna with impatience.
"She's just the tip of the iceberg," Setsuna explained. "She's the incarnation of Chaos, the true source of all evil across all of the twelve universes. Her real name has long been forgotten in my universe but her evil deeds still follow her. If she's not stopped, she'll awaken as Sailor Chaos and will stop an nothing to destroy the universes."
"What does this have to do with my father?"
"There are two ways to eradicate Nemesis. The easiest would be your father re-writing his own timeline."
"You mean go back in time?"
"Go back to when he was supposed to meet the Guardian, and from then on, continue without interruption. He'll kill Nemesis before she's awakened and the universes will be at peace until Chaos finds another way to be awakened."
Vegeta stood silently, pondering on what Meioh was saying. If he was to go back in time, he would defeat Frieza, just as he always had dreamed of, become King and allow his race to survive. But that also meant never meeting Bulma, never marrying his loud and obnoxious woman, and never having their children. It also meant her death. With him gone, there would be no Trunks coming from the future to tell them about the Androids. He looked at his daughter, an almost direct replica of Bulma.
"What's the other option?" He asked.
"The Arbenyte Crystal."
"What?"
"Every living thing that was and will be comes from one source: the Galaxy Cauldron. Each one of us carries a crystal, some bigger and more powerful than others. Nemesis is targeting those of the most pure of hearts, for their crystal brightness will help her achieve her goal: a replica of the Silver Crystal. The Arbernyte Crystal is Planet Vegeta's Guardian and its powerful enough to stop her."
"Hn. Well she's dead."
"You asked me of how I knew your name." Bra watched as Sailor Pluto approached her father. Anyone else would've been terrified of his demeanor but it seemed that this woman had seen worse things than an angry Vegeta. Death and sorrow can do that to a person, she admitted to herself as she thought of her mother and friends. "The Guardian and her Sentries survived the blast that destroyed your planet and went through a black hole that sent them to my universe. She lived in the Moon Kingdom with the Royal Family for over a hundred years up until her death a year ago against Sailor Chaos; she wasn't as powerful as she would've been in this universe."
He asked, hiding the shock of the fact that Telluce had survived let alone for that long. Vegeta had always wondered what his life would've been if he had gone to the docks, now…now he knew and wished he didn't. "So what do you want me to do?"
"You? Nothing, Vegeta," Setsuna looked at Bra and smiled at her, giving her the chills, before turning back to her father. "You cannot meet her while she's still alive because she might refuse to help you. I cannot go back in time and be in the same room as my younger self. It has to be your daughter who delivers the message"
"No!" Vegeta snarled, eyes narrowing with distrust. "She's not going anywhere that I can't track her whereabouts."
"This is your only option."
"I can go," Goten volunteered as raised his hand and gave them a rare smile.
"Yes, make this fool boy go."
"It has to be your daughter, Vegeta."
"Why?"
Setsuna pursed her lips and broke eye contact with Vegeta, "I can't tell you."
"Then fuck it, I guess we're screwed aren't we."
"Dad"
"Vegeta, this is the only way to do this," Setsuna disputed. Either they didn't hear Bra or they chose to ignore her as they continued to argue.
"I said no!"
"Dad!"
"What!"
"I can go…" Bra gave her father a look that took Vegeta by surprise. The fire in her eyes was the same fire Bulma had when she argued with him. For the first time since the war had started, Vegeta noticed how much Bra had changed. Her long hair was replaced by the same style Bulma wore when Buu appeared. Her attitude had gone from a spoiled, bratty child who was only interested in friends and shopping into a strong young female capable of tapping into her Saiyan blood and destroying everything in her path. He was definitely proud of her.
"I said no, Bra." However, no matter how old she was, or how strong she may be, Bra was still his daughter and it was his job to protect her. "End of discussion. You're not going anywhere."
"Then the other option is for you to go back in time and go back to your old ways. You'll kill a whole planet and Nemesis as well. Is that what you really want?" Bra fired back. "To be King Vegeta? To have your other family and forget about me and Trunks?"
Vegeta stammered at her questions. So like her mother.
She went up to him and gave him a hug. "Then let me go," she tightened the hug on Vegeta and gave her stern father a kiss on the cheek. "You've taught me so much, dad; I can take care of myself."
Vegeta awkwardly patted his daughter on the back. "I know, but I don't want you to go alone."
"Can Goten come with me?" Bra asked Setsuna.
"That doesn't make me feel any better," Vegeta scoffed with a roll of his eyes.
"Yes, he can go with you as long as he keeps quiet." She gave her an envelope. "Give this to my younger self. It explains everything that will happen. If you happen to see the Guardian, do not tell her who your father is…"
"She'll refuse to help thousands of people dying just because my father didn't meet her at the docks?"
Setsuna gave her a small smile, "I understand her anger towards your father. Telluce was robbed of being a strong warrior once planet Vegeta was destroyed. It also made her feel empty inside, after her family was killed. It can be a tough life, to be a Guardian of a planet and its inhabitants." Setsuna sighed; her eyes were full of sadness that perhaps Bra will never understand. "Here, take this as well." She handed Bra a golden chain with a small key. "It's the Key of Space-Time. It'll take you where you need to go."
Bra held the small, delicate thing wondering how a charm necklace was going to work.
"Err…how does it work?" Goten asked, voicing Bra's concern.
"Hold it the key in the air and shout this." She handed Bra one last thing: a small parchment with a small scribbled paragraph written in pink ink.
Bra cocked an eyebrow at the words but said nothing.
She had to admit, she felt rather stupid holding the tiny charm key and shouting the words that were on the parchment. "Oh Guardian of Time!" Her voice was shaky with doubt of what she was doing. "Rend the heavens and open the doorway of space-time to me! I call out thy true name! O almighty god of time, father of the Guardian, Chronos! Guide me. Protect me!*
The stupid feeling disappeared the moment a sky opened and a ray of pink light came down upon her and Goten.
Vegeta, on the other hand, felt the air around him pick up and the few birds that were still alive fled the scene. The earth trembled under his feet as he watched Bra and Goten disappear into thin air. In an instant, their Ki energy vanished leaving him with an empty feeling. It was strange, to Vegeta, to not feel or know where his daughter and Goten were all the time.
"This better work, Meoih," he grunted as the air settled around them. Without another word to the Guardian of Pluto, Vegeta turned around and went back into the compound leaving Setsuna behind. With a small sigh of relief that everything had gone as planned, Setsuna opened a time portal and went back to her own timeline and universe; her job here was done.
I swear that you'll get to see our dear Usagi pretty soon! :D Most likely the next chapter. Thank you for reading, please review with any criticism, likes or dislikes or what you'll like to see! I'm up for any ideas/thoughts! :D Later!
