"Well, Mordred could have picked a less cheery place to send us…" Rei observed.
The four Inners and Kibito walked along a field of flowers in full bloom. It looked to be a late spring day with a cloudless sky. The girls all looked around the place with large smiles on their faces.
"I wonder what flower would be best for Gohan…" Mina wondered as she looked around.
"You go mess around with your flowers; I think he'll take a deliciously cooked meal over them any day!" Lita grinned confidently.
Lita and Mina quickly sneered and growled at each other.
"Girls!" Kibito's firm voice halted them, causing them to widen their eyes and haphazardly turn toward the pinkish Kai. "We must continue on, I do not have time for your moronic teenage drama!" He nearly seethed.
"Hey, I'll let you know that Gohan is a major hunkasaurus!" Mina objected. "And I won't stand for you dismissing my claim!"
Kibito's widened his own black eyes at the determined look on the girl's face.
"You Sailor brats are truly a bunch of morons!" A cackling voice sounded in the distance.
All five narrowed their eyes at the appearance of a familiar figure. Eugeal's red hair blew in the breeze that sent flowers swirling around her.
"Eugeal! So, being beaten once wasn't enough!" Sailor Mars seethed.
"I'll never get tired of hurting you little brats! You fools, you come here thinking you can beat Master Mordred, when he's bitch slapped you time and time again?!" She said haughtily. "Well, he's got no time for you weaklings anymore! You will all fail, and Lord Bashgal will take his rightful place of universal worship. Your new allies won't save you!" She laughed some more.
The Sailor Scouts began to sneer, Kibito only narrowed his eyes.
Eugeal took out her flamethrower and smirked as she pointed it at her enemies. The Sailor Scouts gasped as she fired a huge wall of flame at them, they haphazardly ran away while Kibito took off in the air and landed at a safe distance.
"You see, Master Mordred has upgraded it!" She laughed.
"MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND!" Sailor Mars yelled, sending the burning hoops of flame toward Eugeal.
The witch cackled and fired her weapon, producing an even large flame and sending it back at the Scouts, who danced around the flames, hoping their feet wouldn't get singed.
"I guess you girls really don't learn!" She laughed even louder. "We have a word for that…it's known as STUPID!"
"Supreme Thunder!" Sailor Jupiter yelled in an enraged tone and sent sparks of electricity from her tiara toward Eugeal.
"Whoa!" The witch stopped laughing and jumped to dodge the attack. She widened her eyes as Kibito materialized out of thin air right in front of her face. The Kai punched her in the face, sending her flying toward the ground, but the witch was able to land on her feet. She grimaced and fired her gun at Kibito, who dematerialized, avoiding the flames.
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!" Sailor Mercury shouted, releasing a wave of water toward Eugeal.
"Ack!" She coughed, realizing that that particular attack was new; she just narrowly missed being smacked by the wave.
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Sailor Jupiter yelled and launched her charged oak leaves.
"Ooh! Ow!" Eugeal shouted as she tried her best to dodge the flurry of leaves. She gritted her teeth and fired her flamethrower at Sailor Jupiter, who responded by dodging and rushed forward, planting a punch square in the witch's jaw, staggering her.
Kibito rushed toward her, but Eugeal recovered and brought out her other weapon. She fired it and Kibito's eyes widened as he felt like his chest was being ripped apart. The Kai dropped to the ground as a red shining crystal bulleted out of his chest and made its way into Eugeal's hands.
"KIBITO!" All four of his companions shouted as he thudded to the ground.
Eugeal laughed. "The pure heart of a Kai! Master Mordred will be pleased to utilize an artifact of this caliber!"
The four Inner Sailor Scouts gritted their teeth in anger, wondering what their next move would be. Kibito's eyes were dead wide, the sounds only distant echoes in his ears.
"Oh…another flight of stairs!" Serena moped. "Mordred is such a monster!" She began to cry.
"OH SHUT UP!" Vegeta yelled as they climbed yet another flight. "You truly exemplify Lunarian weakness, no wonder you're the heir to their throne!" He spat.
"They're just stairs, Serena." Gohan stated. "If you're tired from this, you really need to start training harder."
"Yeah, there's no room for laziness when it comes to saving the Earth!" Goku said.
Serena began to sniffle. "They're so mean…" She muttered to the Supreme Kai.
"Oh Princess Serenity, they're not mean." He whispered. "Their standards are just very high. When you've saved the world since you were a boy, like Goku and Gohan both have, you really push yourself to the limit and expect your companions to do the same. Vegeta certainly has a chip on his shoulder though."
Vegeta looked back and narrowed his eyes at the last comment. As the five of them finally reached the top landing, a voice cackled.
"It's so nice to see you again, Sailor Moon!"
"Cyprine!" Sailor Moon gasped as the blue-haired woman appeared.
"Thought you'd gotten rid of me did you?" Another form appeared, this time with red hair.
"Huh, me?" Goku scratched his head. "Don't you mean us?"
"No, I mean me!" Both shouted at once.
"But…there's two of you." Goku's eyes retained their curious gaze. "One…" Goku began to count.
"I KNOW THERE'S TWO BODIES!" They both hissed, annoyed. "But we share one mind." The red-haired one, Ptilol said. "Oh, how I shall enjoy beating you all to a pulp and sucking you dry of energy!" They both laughed. "Not to mention, relishing in your fear and pain! Soon, Lord Bashgal will be freed! Hahaha!"
Sailor Moon and the Supreme Kai gave guarded frowns, while Vegeta gave an irritated one. Goku and Gohan looked on in curiosity.
"All right Gohan!" Goku cheered his son. "This one's all yours!"
"Yes!" Gohan nodded and stepped forward with a smirk on his face, getting ready to fight.
The two figures laughed as they got ready. "I won't underestimate you the way Rubeus did. Master Mordred tells me that you new allies of Sailor Moon are stronger than he gave you credit for, but you'll still lose!"
"Bring it!" Gohan smirked.
Both figures shot blue and red beams of magical energy at Gohan, respectively, but the young Saiyan dodged by dematerializing. He reappeared in front of Cyprine, but Ptilol sent a red ball of energy at him, which Gohan again dodged. He landed on his feet and took another fighting stance.
"Do you want some help, Gohan?" Serena asked with her hands clasped.
"No thanks, Sailor Moon." He smirked without turning to make eye contact. "I've got this." He frowned and formed a yellow blast of energy and sent it toward the back-to-back two in one duo. Gohan widened his eyes in surprise as they joined their canes together and absorbed his blast.
"My my, what lovely energy, Ptilol."
"Yes, and I'm sure he'd like it back with a little twist!"
They grinned and sent a ball mixed with yellow, blue, and red back toward Gohan. The young half-Saiyan smirked and watched as it hit the ground, exploding with a brilliant flash and smoldering into black smoke.
"Gohan!" Sailor Moon shouted in concern.
"Hahahaha!" The one witch with two bodies laughed. "What a loser he was, huh Cyprine?!" Their facial expressions turned to curiosity once the smoke cleared, as they saw Sailor Moon and the Supreme Kai with the same guarded expressions, but the other two looking somewhere else, one with a smile and one with a frown. "Huh…?" They trailed.
"Ptilol, watch it!" Cyprine screeched.
Gohan appeared out of nowhere and connected with a strong right hook to the witch, sending her careering to the floor. Cyprine gasped as Gohan rushed toward her, dematerializing and reappearing behind her. She turned and sent a blue blast toward Gohan, but the half-Saiyan easily dodged it and rushed toward her, connecting his boot with her abdomen.
"Uhgrr…" She gurgled, never feeling this much pain before. Blood and saliva dropped out of her mouth.
Gohan grimaced and punched her straight on the forehead, sending her crashing to the floor, hitting her 'other half' in the process.
"MASENKO HA!" He yelled, bringing his right hand over his head, supported by his left and down again, shooting a large yellow beam of energy at the 'witch.'
"Aaahhh!" Both shouted at once as the yellow beam vaporized them and left a tremendous explosion.
"Yeah! Way to go Gohan!" Goku cheered as Gohan floated back down to the ground.
Gohan struck some poses as the dead end grey stone wall revealed a door that opened.
"All right! I wonder who they're gonna get to fight me?!" Goku asked excitedly as he ran through the door. Gohan and Vegeta quickly followed.
"Well…that…was…easy…" Serena trailed at the ease in which Gohan had defeated Cyprine, remembering her and her team's encounter with her.
"It's strange…these Saiyans appear to be stronger than even I expected them to be!" The Supreme Kai said in shock.
Sailor Moon widened her eyes. "Does this mean we're all right?"
The Supreme Kai narrowed his eyes. "No. They may be strong, but so was the Super Saiyan Kabun, and he was still no match for Bashgal, and Mordred killed King Vegeta, this Vegeta's ancestor. Mordred could only have gotten stronger after all this time. Indeed, they are an incredible help to us, but I fear their overconfidence may be their downfall."
The purple being then made way to follow the Saiyans, entering the darkness beyond the door. Sailor Moon showed worry in her eyes again and ran after her new companions.
"Kibito! Answer me!"
"Kibito!"
Sailors Venus and Mercury said worriedly as they cradled their new friend, trying to help him.
"Mercury, Venus, there's only one way we can save him, and you know what that is!" Sailor Mars declared with hard eyes.
All four nodded and narrowed their gazes at Eugeal.
"You four brats should just give up!" Eugeal bellowed.
"Never!" Sailor Mars retorted. "If there's one thing the Sailor Scouts are experts at, it's sticking by our friends!"
"Hmph!" Eugeal sounded.
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!" Sailor Mercury shouted, sending the waves of water back at their antagonist.
"Whoa!" Eugeal shouted, again trying to avoid the waves.
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!"
"Argh!" She shouted in frustration, trying to now avoid both attacks.
"Venus Love Chain Encircle!"
Eugeal gasped as she felt herself being harnessed by Sailor Venus' golden chain, and dragged sharply to the ground,
"Ok you bitch." Sailor Mars sneered. "You love fire so much, but let's see how you like this! MARS FLAME…" She shouted, bringing out her ethereal bow.
"No! No!" Eugeal gasped and struggled to break free of her chain, but Sailor Venus only held on tighter.
"SNIPER!" Mars released her flaming arrow, directly hitting Eugeal's chest.
"NOOOO!" The witch shouted as she was consumed by the flames. She cried in agony as she was burned to ashes, leaving only Kibito's heart crystal behind.
The four girls smiled and nodded at each other as Sailor Mars held the crystal and sent it back to Kibito. The Kai stirred a second after the crystal went back inside his chest. He opened his eyes and blurred images of his new companions appeared, followed by their crisp forms a few seconds later. He stood up with a smile on his face.
"You girls are something." He smirked.
The four girls all smiled at him, but the friendly moment was interrupted by a door appearing and opening.
"It looks like we've gotten through to the next phase." Kibito narrowed his eyes. "Come."
He was the first to walk through the door, followed by the others.
"What beautiful scenery." Krillin noted as he and his companions walked through an open field with a smattering of trees. "Looks just like the area around Goku's house." He sighed when no one responded. "Of course, what should I expect from Piccolo and whoever managed to become Piccolo's friends?" He grinned.
"Neptune, what is your mirror telling you?" Piccolo asked in his usual serious monotone.
"The Deep Aqua Mirror says that the doorway should be over those hills."
"Why are we walking then?" Sailor Uranus asked, slightly annoyed. "There's a faster way, and we don't have to deal with any of those non-flyers now." She said the last bit with a smirk.
The five took off and flew over the hills, landing where Neptune told them to.
"Neptune, isn't that mirror supposed to reveal the truth?" Krillin scratched his head. "It doesn't look like it's doing a very good job."
"Oh no, the door his here." She responded. "But how to get it to appear?"
"Be on your guard." Piccolo ordered. "I'm sensing…hostility."
"And you'd be right." A haughty female voice sounded.
The party turned to face the voice, and saw a woman with long grayish-blue hair appear in front of them.
"To get to the door you'll have to get past me!"
"Viluy, I guess it was too much to hope for that you and your crew were dead." Sailor Uranus spat.
The witch laughed. "Master Mordred is really something isn't he? Now I get to pound you brats into the dust, you and your new allies!"
"Heh." Piccolo smirked, Viluy involuntarily scoffing at the Namek. "I'll leave this one to the three of you." Piccolo declared. "I want to see how you've progressed since I last saw you."
"Is that a challenge?" Uranus smiled, followed by her two companions.
"Yes." Piccolo smiled back, taking a seat on a rock under the nearest tree. "Krillin, I'd like you to sit this one out."
"Hey, no problem here!" The short man said with a chuckle and joined his old friend.
Viluy growled. "Hey! What do you think you're doing?! I'm going to pound all of you together!"
"Sorry, your fight is with them." Piccolo stated, nearly ordered.
"Fine then, ugly green man!" She spat. "I'll deal with those brats first, and then you!" The witch roared and fired her beam of nano machines at the three Outers, who jumped out of the way. "I'll teach you!" She fired at Pluto, who blocked the blast by spinning her Garnet Rod.
"Uranus World Shaking!" Sailor Uranus shouted and threw her attack at Viluy, but the witch jumped over it and fired her own blast at Uranus, hitting her. She fell screaming to her knees.
Sailor Pluto grimaced and took off after the witch, striking her face with the Garnet Rod and sending her to the floor with throbbing pain in her cheek.
"I'll get you for that!" Viluy said as Sailor Pluto landed opposite her.
"Are you alright?" Neptune asked as Uranus got up, always side by side.
"I'm fine." She smiled. "You're not a warrior if you can't take a hit."
"Well, you'll be taking much more than one hit!" Viluy rushed forward, blasting away.
Uranus and Neptune leapt away.
"Neptune Deep Submerge!"
"Ack!" Viluy grunted as she was hit by Neptune's attack, knocking her on her back.
Sailor Pluto took off to the sky. "Pluto Dead Scream!" She shouted, sending the purple blast toward Viluy.
The witch gritted her teeth and disappeared, avoiding the attack.
"Where'd she go?" Sailor Pluto muttered as she floated in the air. A few seconds later, she felt a painful force hitting her in the back and she dropped to the ground, managing to land on her feet, but still feeling the throbbing pain.
Uranus and Neptune sensed an attack coming and dodged it.
"She masks her energy immediately after her attack." Uranus stated. "I can't detect her." Her eyes bolted to and fro.
Sailor Pluto blocked the attack meant for her with her trusty Garnet Rod.
"What are you going to do now? You can't see or sense me!" She shouted in glee, sending another attack toward Pluto and Uranus, who dodged.
Sailor Neptune giggled. "You mean we can't see or sense you now." She held up her mirror. "Submarine Reflection!"
Viluy shouted as the light from Neptune's mirror revealed her hidden form, followed by a zap that sent her tumbling to the ground.
Sailor Pluto grinned and took off.
"Dead Scream!" She shouted, releasing the purple ball that plowed into the witch.
Uranus took that as her cue. She jumped and unsheathed her sword.
"Space Sword Blaster!" She shouted, sending a wave of energy at Viluy.
"Ah! Oh no! NOOOOO!" She shouted, and then screamed in pain as she felt her entire body being torn apart.
Uranus landed beside her companions, and a door appeared right where Neptune said it would, opening up for the party.
Piccolo smiled. "Well done."
"Yeah, let's get going huh?" Krillin said as he made his way to the door, the others following suit.
"Piccolo, why did you choose not to fight? Are you getting slow?" Neptune teased.
Piccolo grumbled as the two walked through the door into darkness.
"You sure do like teasing him, don't you?" Pluto laughed, followed by the thud of the door.
"Wow, it looks like a funhouse!" Goku said as he observed all the mirrors around the place, morphing his body in different ways.
Vegeta looked in one of the mirrors, the reflection making his body appear short and pudgy. He grunted and grimaced. "MORDRED! SEND US YOUR NEXT WEAKLING!" He shouted, annoyed.
"Oh, so it appears you aren't enjoying our little funhouse." A hideous raspy voice sounded out.
Goku and Gohan backtracked when they saw the ugly creature step out from behind a mirror and move towards the group.
"Zirconia!" Sailor Moon hissed.
"It's so nice to see you again, you troublesome brat! Master Mordred will reward me greatly when I scatter your bones in the dust!"
Goku laughed confidently and stepped forward. "That won't be happening, cause you'll have to get through me first!" He grinned.
Zirconia laughed and disappeared behind a mirror. The room got dark, almost pitch black. The only light was the light shone off the mirrors, and they revealed multiple Zirconias. All had a winged creature with a flame atop their rods. The raspy laugh filled the air.
"This time, you see, I've cloned Zircon too!" He laughed more. "Now how will you find the real me?!"
Goku got rid of his smile and calmed himself. A second later, the swarm of Zirconias rushed at him, firing their blue beams from their rods and reflecting off of each other in the mirrors. Goku responded by dematerializing and reappearing with a golden globe of energy in his fist. He fired it and hit one of the Zirconias, but it just caused the image to shatter, another one taking its place a second later.
"Hahahaha!" Zirconia laughed. "That wasn't me!"
Goku frowned and shot his eyes around the room as the swarm of Zirconias rushed towards him again; firing beams, but Goku zipped around the room, easily dodging all of the attacks.
"Uh…excuse me…Mister Vegeta…" Sailor Moon trailed.
"What do you want?" Vegeta asked in a hard tone, frowning and not looking at her.
"What's happening out there?" She asked, touching her index fingers together in nervousness.
"No need to worry." He said dryly. "Kakarot has this handled."
She turned to look at the Supreme Kai and Gohan. While the Kai intensely focused on the match, Gohan smiled at her and gave a thumbs up.
Goku grunted as he slammed his fist into one Zirconia, followed by a kick to one sneaking up behind him. Both of them shattered, and were replaced.
"Hahahah!" Zirconia continued to laugh. "Now let's shatter your dream mirror!" All the images took the winged creatures off their rods and threw them.
"Goku!" Sailor Moon shouted. "Don't let that thing hit you! It will reveal the mirror to your dreams, and if Zirconia smashes it, you'll be in big trouble!"
Goku looked toward the direction of Sailor Moon's concerned voice and turned back toward the oncoming horde of Zircons.
"No way." He muttered in confidence. "All right Zirconia, if you want to get serious, LET'S GET SERIOUS!" He shouted. "HAHHHH!"
Zirconia widened his eyes as a golden light surrounded Goku and his hair stood up, turning gold itself. Even the winging Zircons stopped in their tracks. A second later, Goku emerged, his golden aura lighting up the entire room, shining off the mirrors and amplifying it even further. He took off, the flaming winged-eyes following him.
"Right this way." Goku smirked.
The eyes followed Goku as he zipped around the now lighted room. The Saiyan smirked as he saw all of the reflections of Zirconia. He saw one of them with a nervous sweat on his face. Goku looked back, seeing that one of the eyes shifted its gaze toward its master.
"All right then." His smirk widened.
Goku dematerialized and rematerialized in back of the eye, not letting any of the others bother him- he knew what was real and what was not now. The Saiyan blasted Zircon, sending the eye careening down into Zirconia.
"Argh!" Zirconia yelled as he tried to hold onto the tremendous kinetic force rocketing against him.
"YAHHH!" Goku shouted as he powered up, his golden aura got bigger and bolts of electricity now accompanied it, the sparks shining off the mirrors and periodically lighting the once near pitch black room even brighter. Only one strand of hair fell over Goku's face now. "DRAGON FIST!" He shouted.
Zirconia screamed in fright as he saw the golden man rocketing towards him, the guise of a golden dragon surrounding him. A second later, he screamed in pain as he felt Goku's fist tearing his torso apart, the Saiyan emerged out of Zirconia's back a second later still surrounded by the image of the dragon, which then disappeared.
Zirconia slowly grunted in pain as he fell to the ground, Zircon exploding, followed by Zirconia, which produced an even bigger explosion.
Sunlight filled the room and all but one of the mirrors disappeared as Goku floated back to the ground.
"Good job dad!" Gohan shouted.
"Wow…" Sailor Moon trailed in amazement as she stared at the Saiyan's back, his golden aura still surrounding him and crackling with electricity.
Vegeta scoffed.
The last mirror revealed itself to be a door and opened up. Goku turned and smiled at his companions and powered down, his hair and eyes reverting back to their original black.
"Goku…you're amazing!"
"Aww, thanks Serena!" He said. "Let's go on, huh?"
Gohan smiled and moved to join his father as they both walked through the door. Vegeta followed, still wearing the same expression on his face. Sailor Moon smiled from ear to ear and ran after her new friends. The Supreme Kai widened his eyes in disbelief at what he had just seen, and then ran after them.
"And that's the entire story." Videl said to the people she knew as Gohan's friends, along with a guy in a Tuxedo and a few talking cats, which should have surprised her, but after what she had just seen, hadn't.
"So, they need to stop Bashgal from being released back into the world…" Yamcha trailed. "Sounds major serious."
"Why do my Goku and Gohan always have to play hero?" Chi Chi said in concern and annoyance.
"There's no choice." Bulma reassured. "With something like that looming, Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta are the best chance we've got at stopping it! There's no way they'd let that happen!"
"Hey!" Luna, Artemis, and Diana shouted in a twinge of jealousy.
"We must go and help them right away." Hotaru said, still in shock somewhat as to how she was integrated into the tale…her true…father… That must be the reason why Mordred hadn't killed her. He still felt some loyalty to her father, the Duke of Tranquility…
"Hotaru, it's far too dangerous!" Luna scolded.
"No. I am more powerful than the other Sailor Scouts." She stated. "Even with such powerful new allies, they may need my help, and I would be ashamed to let the man that betrayed my father get away with this!"
"Hotaru…" Rini trailed in concern for her friend.
"I agree." Trunks said. "They could use our help. Besides, a couple of extra Super Saiyans in the mix won't hurt." He smirked.
"Yeah!" Goten shouted in excitement.
"Ok, let's go!" Rini chimed.
"No! Rini!" All three cats objected.
"I'll take you Rini!" Goten instantly volunteered.
"Ok!" She chimed again and climbed on Goten's back.
Hotaru and Trunks had a silent agreement, and the purple-eyed girl climbed onto Trunks'.
The two boys took off into the sky.
"GOTEN GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!" Chi Chi ordered.
"TRUNKS YOU GET ON THE GROUND THIS INSTANT!" Bulma shouted similarly.
"Rini! Hotaru!" Tuxedo Mask called, but their shouts were to no avail, as the boys shot off with their payloads in the direction Videl had indicated, getting out of earshot in moments.
"Unreal…I thought they had all died…" Mordred sat on his char, stroking his chin in curiosity. "I thought they'd all been killed by that weakling Frieza. I suppose there were some survivors. Interesting. Super Saiyans…still as prideful as that fool Kabun was. No matter, it still won't save them."
I didn't indicate Zirconia's gender. So male or female…take your pick!
