Child of the Goddess
Chapter I: Death of a Goddess


Part I: Lunaria


They entered the room in silence. Crimson blood dripped from their large sinew
bodies, yet it was not their own. They parted. A smaller man stepped forward towards the dais, brown tail
curving around his waist, colbalt hair, black as his eyes, seeming to defy gravify.
"Good evening, your majesty," he mock bowed, "lovely day, is it not?"
The woman upon the throne remained emotionless, her ever regal figure never faultering.
He smirked.
"I did not wish to be rude when i met the fabled Goddess of the Moon, so i come bearing gifts..."
The two men stepped forward, each droping their burden before her. The queen's violet eyes flashed
momentarily as the bodies hit the marble tile with sickening thud, blood smeared across their paled faces
and drenching their short pleated uniforms red. Even in death they were hauntingly beautiful.
"Athena," he gestured with a nod of his head towards the woman with short blue hair at his feet, "She
was surprisingly easy to kill. I would have expected more from the queen of Mercury."
His gaze shifted to the woman laying motionless beside the first, thick ebony tresses cloaking her body.
"Ahh, and Aries, queen of Mars... she was a feisty one, but her mouth turned out to be quicker than her feet."
He lightly kicked the next woman onto her back, brown hair falling around her shoulders in soft waves.
"Hera. Queen of Jupiter. She was quite strong actually, almost got a punch in on Nappa here."
He then strolled over to the last of the fallen women, bending to push a strand of golden hair from
her ashen face.
"And of course Aphrodite, queen of Venus. She is beautiful isn't she. Lasted longer than any of them...
managed to scratch Radditz even." he chuckled as he continued, "And you know... she begged for your life."
Queen Serenity remained silent through the cruel display, her painstricken eyes rivited to the bloody
remains of her dearest friends. When she spoke, it held no anger, only sadness and regret.
"You have destroyed my planet, murdered my gaurdians, my people, wrecked havoc and chaos on
our solar system... what more do you want? If it is my life you seek, i would have given it freely in
return for peace."
He laughed, throwing his head back as he did.
"Your life? Oh, i will have that anyways... it is something else that i seek. Something that is rightfully ours."
The queen stood, anger flaring into her ethreal features.
"He has paid his dept with his life... we owe nothing more to you. Please, Prince of Vegetasei, leave
what is left of my kingdom in peace."
He only smirked.
"A goddess who gave up her right in order to be with her beloved... such a touching story. Too bad he had to die.
And to think, if you had stayed away from him... he would still be alive
today." he paused to watch her eyes brim with tears, before continuing on the obviously painfull subject.
"It was a shame to loose such a valuble first class warrior, but he was a traitor, and i saw to it that he died
a traitors death. Before the fatal blow he begged for your life, much like the way Aphrodite
had done, but you still have what is ours... what he owes to my planet. Give me the child."
"Never. She is not yours. He left your planet long ago, he was no longer a Saiya-jin."
"He will always be a Saiya-jin. It is in his blood. The child... she has a tail, does she not?"
The queen was silent.
"So she does then. That marks her as a Saiya-jin... and she will be trained as one. Radditz, find her."
"No!" Selene screamed as Radditz began scanning the perimeters for her daughter's ki.
"Got it."
He vanished, returning seconds later with an infant wrapped in silver cloth as her birthright, a
cresent moon, glowed softly on her forehead.
"Serenity..."
Selene fell to her knees in prayer, tears streaming down her paled cheeks as she began to chant in
ancient Lunarian. The soft silver light eminating from her symbol engulfed her body and expanded, taking
the men off gaurd as it tore through the palace and the remains of the fallen city. The smoke cleared
and the sheilds they had created with their ki faded, leaving silence in its wake.
"DAMMIT! The litle whore killed herself!"
Serenity, startled out of her peaceful slumber by the bellow of the man beside her, began to cry,
adding to Vegeta's already soured mood.
"Nappa, be quiet! And shut that brat up! Get in the pod... we're going home."
They turned and left the emmense throne room, once belonging to the most beautiful empire in the
universe, now only crumbling ruins, with the child of a goddess in their arms.



Part II: Vegetasei

"SHUT THAT BRAT UP!"
The roar echoed through the halls of the palace, shaking its inhabitants to the core. Yet the child only
wailed louder. Vegeta growled. The prince who had ruthlessly killed millions, destroyed planets, and
was feared by all, could not even quiet an infant. For two days the small princess had cried, leaving
him with little sleep and a pounding headache. But he dared not touch the thing- even his servents and
maids could do nothing to quiet her. He peered down at her tiny fragile body, her small hands balled into
fists as she kicked at the blanket, silver tail wrapped tightly around her waist, and for the first time
in his life he had absolutly no idea what to do. He sighed, rolling his eyes heavenward as he mumbled a few
choice words under his breath and picked up the child, holding her at arms length.
"KUSO! How the HELL do you hold these things?!"
The empty room did little to answer his question. He growled and, remembering how a maid had held her
as she was fed, brought the child to his chest and layed her in his broad arms, slowing rocking her back and
forth with a gentlness he didn't know he posessed. Her crying ceased almost immediatly as she opened her
large cerulean eyes to peer up at him, smiling a toothless smile that positivly reeked of innocence. He nearly
gaged, but couldn't help but smile wryly at the irony of it. Who would have thought he would be holding
such an innocent? She giggled as he reached for her bottle, uncertainly putting it into her mouth. She accepted
it eagerly, untangling her fingers from his attaire to wrap around his thumb. And despite his resolution to hate
the child of his enemy, he smiled down at her, softly brushing a few strands of silver hair from her face.
"Your highness, you called?"
The voice of a maid startled him out of his thoughts and he turned to her, plastering a look of anger back
onto his face.
"Yes. Take this brat and do... whatever the hell it is you women do with these things."
She quickly took the child from his arms length grasp, who promptly began to wail again. Vegeta scowled.
"My god, woman! Can you do nothing right?!" he screamed at the cowering maid as he grabbed
the baby and began to gently rock her without a second thought.
"Now get out of my site before i blast you into the next dimension!"
She left the room without hesitance. Vegeta sighed, glancing back at the giggling princess in his arms.
"Little brat..."
The smirk he wore defied his harsh statement. Serenity cooed as he retired to his bedroom, the child never
leaving his protective embrace.


The effect of the supposed deaths of the goddess Selene and her child were great. The last of the
Lunarians, the few who had survived the brutal attack, soon died off without the power of the Ginzuishou
to support them, the memory of the once great race dieing along with them. To many it was a message
from God, punishing them for keeping one of his goddesses on the mortal plains... to others, it signified the
begining of a war. But one thing was clear to all: the universe's light of hope was gone, and with
it, it's salvation. Serenity, who had not been killed as was thought, was given the name Usagi as a
form of protection. None knew of the half-goddess, half-Saiya-jin's survival, and Vegeta saw to it that
it remained this way. When Frieza had assigned him the task of destroying his long-time rival for power, the Moon
Kingdom that had resided in a different dimension, he had taken the job with alternate intentions. The
princess, a hybrid of the two most powerful races in the universe, would be a vital asset for ensuring his victory
against the attack he would soon wage on Frieza.
Vegeta had wasted no time in personally training the young princess to be the perfect warrior, molding
her tremendous amount of power, even more then he had origionally expected, into the perfect weapon.
But, much against the prince's attempts to keep the child's gentle and caring nature from affecting him, he
soon found himself developing an almost paternal instict for her. If anyone dared to touch one golden strand
of hair on her little head, they would quickly find themselves wishing they had never been born. A single
crude comment in the small girl's direction had nearly cost a guard his life, but Usagi, though raised on a
planet where violence and war reigned, had never lost her innocence and pure heart and the man escaped with
little more then soiled pants.
Of course, he was of a proud race, and as such, pride permitted him from showing anything other then
obligation towards her. But she understood. He was often harsh with her, forcing her train until she could no
longer stand on her own two feet, but never once did she complain. Though a mere child, and a girl no less, she
took it all with her head held high and her eyes unwavering. He was quite proud of her, she was indeed a
Saiya-jin. And with the blood of a goddess running through her veins, her ki would be virtually undetectable,
thereby keeping her well out of Frieza's radar and increasing their chances of defeating him.

Vegeta smirked. Revenge would be sweet.
