GABRIELLA POV
Serena has yet again, passed out after using her attack to seal Cronos. My father and I rushed Serena to the Hospital Wing again to make sure everything was okay. It didn't take long to find out what happened to her if anything was wrong. She only had a mild concussion thankfully. We tried getting Trista to come in and get treated but she wouldn't barge, staying by the time door, fixing any damages that could possibly need to be tended to. She was stubborn like always when it comes to her job. Even though her father is sealed for good and no longer can control her, she still wishes to abide her post.
When Cronos was sealed his power was basically taken away, all damage that he had caused went away. The memory I had received from the past, I wasn't the only one who had gotten it out of nowhere. Vegeta, Trunks, Gohan, Bulma and Goten all received it as well, but Bulma on the other hand received two new memories. The one where I met her when Trunks was a baby, and then when Serena had come back as well. It was all foggy for us who had it, but nothing but weird and disturbing knowing that memories can be implanted as well.
Kairavi, Liam, Aidan, Abigail, Rini, Trinity, Mariah, Goten, Pan and Daniela were all brought back once all of Cronos' power and affect were gone completely. I had no idea about the last four until Gohan mentioned something to me. I was just glad that we got back in time before Gohan was gone as well.
Seeing my father adjust to the life in the Crystal Palace was actually kind of funny to watch. I, my brothers, daughters and granddaughters, and husband all try to help as much as we can, but I can tell with the lack of action my father must be losing it. At least when he was in the Other World, he had loads of other fighters or challengers willing to spar with him. Speaking of sparring, my father and Vegeta finally have time and the place to have their match. It won't be in the Palace under Serena and Kairavi's wishes, knowing how hard it was for the girls to create it with the Crystal. We made them stay within the Galaxy and Planet so the others could watch if we wanted to. I know I wanted to, now that Vegeta has up graded into a Super Saiyan three himself as well as the rest of the fighters in the family, including grandchildren that fought. When my father started getting to know them, he was shocked at how much Abby and Dani acted like him and Vegeta. Even though I have known each of them since they were able to walk, it was still priceless to see.
When Serena was released from the Hospital Wing and cleared for training, we dug into research with Gohan and Amy to see why she would keep fainting after she did an attack. I had a theory, all though I had a feeling that it was completely wrong. My theory was that the attack called for all of Serena's power was needed, after she was done it made her completely weak, or she wasn't used to the power at all. All though Gohan and Amy were coming to different conclusions. I was with the two now, while everyone else was off with my father in the Training Center. Up on his way to his match with Vegeta, my father wanted to test everyone's strength. I think he was doing this out of boredom, I have a feeling that he already knows how powerful each of them are, even my grandsons. Even though it's been a month or so since the defeat of Cronos, but he still wonders if there were other Gods out there that Whis could bring out against us.
Gohan's theory was that since Serena has two different energies inside her, her Soldier and the Saiyan self, one was more powerful than the other. In order for Serena not to pass out anymore after she uses one of the calls, she would have to become a Goddess just like me. Serena a Super Saiyan Goddess? Super Saiyan Goddess, Sailor Cosmos? For some reason that name clicked in my head from what Pluto had said on the battle field a while ago while fighting Cronos. "Once you seal him, he would be so weakened that all power and everything else he has done will be reversed. Seal him to a place where no Gods can escape, it's your job as Sailor Cosmos to make sure that all Gods are kept in line as well as all of the Cosmos in space are safe." Pluto basically explained Serena's way of how she can withstand her own power! Pluto is a freaking genius without knowing it!
"I think you might be right Gohan! Pluto said the exact same thing when we were fighting Cronos!" I told him, he started smirking at me. I knew this smirk; it was always followed by a sarcastic comment afterwards. I tried ignoring the look, all though the comment came from Gohan anyway.
"So you're finally admitting I'm right Sissy?" Gohan teasingly asked me. I only tried to smack him alongside the head as Amy tried reasoning with me not too. She eventually stopped us before something could happen within the Crystal Tokyo Library.
"Do you think Serena might know this already though?" Amy wondered as we stopped bickering. All of us looked at each other for a minute and then started laughing. Serena was smart when she wanted to be, but sometimes she wouldn't be able to figure out something like that anymore or well ever on her own. I decided on telling my father this. He was outside in the backyards of the Palace, looking at the building that surrounds it. It took him a moment to realize that I was behind him. When he did realize it however, he smiled as waved at me to come over. I did so. It was a moment of silence before I started speaking again. Why was it so hard to talk to him? He's my father for goodness sake's; I shouldn't be feeling awkward right? Was it from all of the years that he was absent from my life that we can longer form a proper conversation that didn't involve fighting?
"So Serena will be okay eventually. I don't know if she's up and moving yet." I told him as he gave a smile at the news of Serena.
"I'm sure she is, Serena always bounces back after something like this. She's like her mother in that." he complimented me. I only smiled, not saying a word. "Hey so are you ever going to tell me what happened in the time stream after Serena got taken away?" he asked me. Damn, he would remember that. I sighed as I brushed my hair back and sat on one of the benches outside. When I looked back at my father, he was smiling, telling me it was okay to tell him anything.
"When I thought Serena had died, it felt like something in me had disappeared, a piece of my heart. I felt it when Kairavi went away like she did." I said as I looked away from him, the tears rebuilding back up. My father joined next to me when I did this and looked worried and confused on what to do. I was to be honest. I was never really a crier, it would take a lot for me to want to do so. Losing my daughters or even thinking about losing my daughters, it pained me, almost as bad as if I had lost Trunks. "Losing children is something I never want to happen to anyone else, even my own worst enemy." I told him as I brushed away my tears. My father then pulled me into a hug, I was shocked at first, but then I welcomed it. He never released his embrace as he gave a reply, I honestly didn't want him to.
"I have never experienced the loss of a child Gabriella, but seeing you go through it multiple times, it broke me to see you hurt so much." He began. "You're my only daughter Gabby. I know I haven't been in your life for very long, and when I was I kept leaving. But I can tell you this, I'm not leaving this time. I will protect you and your brothers like I should have while you grew up. My one regret was not being able to do so." He told me. After that there was only silence between the two of us. None of us moved for a while, just finally being been able to spend time together, father and daughter. Like it should have from the beginning.
HOTARU OR COSMIC SAILOR SATURN POV
Ever since Cronos has been defeated by Serena as Sailor Cosmos, I haven't been feeling at ease. A darker side to me, trying to break through the surface of my mind again. The Mistress 9 part to me has been gone for many years thanks to Serena. I was also reborn into the form everyone is aware of and sees daily. Why do I have these feelings? I shouldn't be. It was very uneasy feeling that started since the first attack of Cronos on Crystal Tokyo and hasn't left since then. It felt like something of higher power above me was trying to spew hate within me against my own family. But who would do such a thing? I've been feeling, also, an uneasy feeling that more past enemies might attack us again. But why would Hades, the god of the underworld, my father, be doing this now when he has been dormant for so long? Should I stop him before he sends an enemy after us again? I probably should, but should I tell the other soldiers? No. they are living peacefully now there is no worry after Cronos. Gabriella is finally getting the time with her father that she has always wanted, no way was I going to ruin that for her. Even though Goku Son was never there as his children grew older, he still had that bond. I haven't seen my father in centuries, so on the same guidelines, I knew how Gabriella felt for as long. I won't get any involved unless needed. I grabbed my cosmic transformation pen, transformed, and then teleported myself to where my father of my past life, Hades was.
It was a very dark and dreary place, no light to be seen anywhere. If Gabriella had the ailment that she did, she wouldn't have been able to withstand it. I could hear the cries of the innocent people who were sent here. This place was where all of the bad souls went off to when they are killed, never to escape again. By the time I think I found my way, I heard someone talking to Hades. It was Whis! I wondered where he went off! I had my Silence Glaive ready to attack but I think I was hidden pretty well.
"I don't know if you are aware of this Hades," Whis began. "But Cronos, a fellow god, has been sealed by Sailor Cosmos."
"Sailor Cosmos has been reincarnated?" Hades asked. Whis shook his head yes to his question.
"Yes, she was reincarnated multiple times, one was she a Princess of the moon, and now she was reborn into a Saiyan family. She ruled the planet Earth for a while, I'm sure you at least know about that?"
"Yes, Neo Queen Serenity and her Sailor Soldiers. I believe I remember hearing those names from my many souls that are trapped down here…" Hades trailed off as he thought about something else or rather, someone else, me. My body tensed up as he did. "Do you know the whereabouts of Sailor Saturn, Whis? She was once my daughter, but she was enlisted by the wretched Moon Kingdom to protect the Outer Solar System of the planet Saturn. Has she been living out her duty as the Sailor Soldier of Death and Rebirth?"
"When Sailor Saturn was recruited to protect the outer solar system, she abandoned it, only using herself destructive powers when necessary. She has used them once, when she was reincarnated into Hotaru Tomoe. Hotaru then was possessed by another being at the time due to her father, Professor Tomoe. Mistress 9 wanted to destroy the planet as the sovereign of silence but that planned failed thanks to Sailor Moon who was Princess Serena. Sailor Moon went in to stop her and she was reincarnated again to the size of baby, from then on she was raised by the outer soldiers, Neptune, Uranus and even Pluto." Whis explained.
"Mistress 9 brought in this evil in her yes? Like she was born to be whenever she was ready to take over the underworld?" Hades asked, Whis agreed with him again as he tensed up, sensing me in the area. Hades knew this as well as he called out my Earth name. "Oh Hotaru, there is no need to hide anymore my daughter." Hades gestured me over as I kept my eye on Whis and my Silence Glaive ready to aim and attack if necessary. "You haven't been doing the job you were born to do Saturn." He said in an authoritative voice, like he would if he was my father, I don't see this man my father. I never have and never will. Professor Tomoe was more of a father then he ever was.
"Yes I have been, I've been guarding the Royal Family of the Moon Kingdom and Saiyan family alike. That is my duty, I knew it when they recruited me all of those years ago and I still feel the same today. Nothing will ever change that Hades." I snapped as I raised my Glaive up near his throat as Whis made me step down. He had no right to do so after what he has done to Crystal Tokyo! He almost destroyed the entire kingdom and he expects me to listen to him?! "I will never listen to you Whis! After what you did the Royal Family, you should be executed for your crimes!" I hollered at him.
"Oh Hotaru you foolish girl." Hades said sarcastically with a roll of his transparent eyes. "Do you realize what his position is?"
"He was an overseer for Bills, the God of Destruction. What is your point?"
"Not only was he Bills' overseer, he is the overseer to all God's who feel that should need such protecting. All of us do now that Sailor Cosmos has been awakened." At the mention of Serena, I snapped as I had my glaive leave a mark on his face. He only continued to smile at me, bad intentions written all over it. "He might be stronger then all of you if he can protect us God's from harm my dear Hotaru." Hades said as I let down my Glaive and turned to Whis. I was about to say something until Hades had attacked me with some attack that I never saw. But whatever it was, it was painful to the point where I was landed on the other side of the caverns, dropping my glaive to the ground. "This is your only chance Hotaru to claim back your true life of being the daughter of darkness." Hades said as he walked over to me, showing me his pale blue hand. I smacked it away as I was able to get up on my own, without either of them helping me. Both of them were dead to me in my eyes and once I tell Serena, Gabriella and Goku, they will agree with me as well. But hopefully I don't have to anytime soon.
"Never in a Millennium will I work with you." I snapped, I tried transporting myself out with my Silence Glaive but he attacked me again. I was able to block it thankfully. "SILENT WALL!" I shouted as I raised my Glaive over my head, creating some kind of barrier so I wouldn't get hit. He kept attacking me for a little while but then realized that it was pointless to do so, finally letting me leave. When I reopened my eyes I found myself back in the Crystal Palace, in the middle of the entry way. Blood started dripping down my arm, looking down I saw that one of Hades attacks got me as I was leaving. I started walking pretty fast to my bedroom hoping to get there so nobody would see me. That was a false hope. Both Amara and Michele were walking down the same hallway that I needed. Michele was the first person to notice me and that the fact I was in uniform when none of us have had the need to be.
"Hotaru, are you okay? What happened?" Michelle worried; she then noticed the blood on my arm, dripping down my uniform. "How did this happen to you?" She tried stopping
"Why are you transformed? Has Rini called out orders to do so?" Amara asked me. I de-transformed then as she said that, grabbing my arm away from Michelle's grip.
"Everything will be fine you two, false alarm. I had dream but it was just that, a dream." I told them, plainly lying to them. I hated lying to them but right now they didn't need to know Hades is out to bring my evil side back to me. The side I will not let back in.
"What was it about? Does Neo Queen Serenity know this Hotaru?" Amara asked. Did Rini know? No she didn't and I wasn't about to worry about her with this. Nor will I tell Goku, Gabriella and Serena, unless necessary.
"Yeah, she does, you know I tell Rini everything Amara. " I lied again as I tried to keep up the façade. I started for my room again, while feeling the stares of the two as I did. When I got to my room, I quickly cleaned up my arm, knowing that it was getting worse. I was able to stop the bleeding and bandage it up without going to the hospital wing. If I ever went to the hospital wing, word would get out faster than ever before. I just hope my father's vengefulness won't cause anything to happen to Crystal Tokyo. Bringing anyone back would be disastrous; can we kill the already dead people if he does bring back anyone?
WHIS POV
Sailor Saturn somehow knew something was going on with Hades, but how? Is it the connection or something? Hades had just spoken with her, trying to get her on his side again, but of course she declined and ran back to her little kingdom. Hades was starting to get furious and started walking off to another direction of his world. I followed him, curious as to where he was going. I ended up following him to a certain river. The River of Dead Souls. What was Hades planning on doing? Summon someone who was dead?
"Hades, please tell me you're not going to bring back the dead are you?" I asked him. I was a little worried. He had a bit of a temper and did things in an angry haste sometimes to the point what he did was a little irrational.
"Yes I am. It's only a distraction though, Whis. They can easily kill them again, but what I want to do involves Hotaru." He explained as he summoned a soul from the river. It was someone in the Royal families past. I believed his name was Cell or something of that nature. "Go terrorize the Royal Family; I'm sure you want your revenge on Gohan Son from killing you." Hades said as Cell smiled, grateful for the opportunity. Hades then sent him to the upper realm with a wave of his and he was gone to do his purpose.
"What are you planning on doing with Hotaru?" I asked him. He never looked back as he stopped walking for a brief moment.
"To make my daughter realize what her true position is." Hades said as he then disappeared in flames to complete out his mission.
GABRIELLA POV
After spending some time with my father, he decided to get Gohan and Goten and I to go out on the town, just us with no one else. I think I could get used to doing this every now and then. It was nice and bright out as we walked around the city of Crystal Tokyo. Dad tried to recognize anything he could when it wasn't in crystal but it was getting impossible and kind of hilarious to see to be honest. I knew it would be interesting to see my father in Crystal Tokyo permanently, but I never thought it would be hilarious.
"Wait a minute didn't that used to be a restaurant?" he asked as we passed by a building that clearly marked book store on the window.
"Not really Dad." Gohan laughed. "It clearly says it's a book store."
"You would know that Gohan!" Dad teased him.
"Oh come on not cool Dad!" Gohan said as he pretended to be angry, as we were about to head to Crystal Park, I started feeling some sort of entity nearby, one that spewed evil sent it entered. Goten was the only one who noticed and then not a while Gohan and Dad did so as well.
"You okay Twiny?" Goten worried.
"I feel something nearby, I do not like the feeling I'm getting off of it." I told them. All three of them were worried now, since when this sort of thing happens I'm normally right when I say something. My father especially started looking as tense as I did. My suspicion's ended up being correct as a being I have never seen in my entire life, was basically sucking a human being up its stinger. Goten and I didn't know who he was, but Goten and Dad sure did in a heartbeat. All of the citizens were running away from the being that finally noticed us. He walked closer as Dad Gohan into a stance as Goten and I followed right after. Who the hell was he?
"How in the world are you alive Cell?" Gohan asked, sounding a bit pissed off at Cell. Cell only laughed as he noticed my father and then myself. How would Cell know who I am? This is the first time I have ever met him in my entire life, and that's a long time of demons to see.
"Let's just say you can thank your little friend Hotaru Tomoe, Gohan." He said as he continued looking at us two only. "It's time to act out my revenge, finally." As if on command he did so, targeting heavily on me and Gohan for some reason, all though Gohan was trying his best to keep him off of me. What did he mean by Hotaru being the reason for all of this? A stray blast of Cells that was originally meant for Gohan, got into me, but of it hitting it was blocked by someone else. No one other then Sailor Saturn in Cosmic form, she was able to block it with her Silence Glaive.
"SILENT WALL!"Sailor Saturn screamed as she protected an attack for me that I wasn't prepared for. I was still shocked that Cell said this was all under Hotaru….what could she have done?
