Chapter 10

She was bored; beyond relief really. It had been two weeks since the last attack and everyone was on pins and needles. Ko was not a happy camper when she was bored; with a sigh she looked out the window. She saw the other Scouts in the yard, some talking, and some were training.

For some old reason, every Z fighter was out there, either mixing with the Scouts (talking or training); or by themselves, huddled up and maybe gossiping. She didn't really know, nor did she care. The ones that mattered to her weren't there. Where were the Saiyans?

Then she saw them: they were coming out of the house with the two Elders in the lead. The sons were in the back, maybe they were gossiping as well.

With a sudden thought, a wicked grin spread across her face. This was going to be fun! she thought before she ran from her room, down the stairs, expertly maneuvered through the house and to the side door that her Saiyans had used in just a few seconds. The blonde exited the house and Trunks turned around swiftly and his widened his eyes at what he saw.

Ko was in a tank top, with shorts that went halfway between her knees and her waist. But the thing that caught his attention was that she just tripped over something and she was following into his arms.

"You tripped," Trunks observed, trying to hold in his laughter; even more so when she scowled at him.

She righted herself, and then turned around to see what she tripped over. Ko remembered that toy, it was a truck, one that Uranus had kicked out of the window last night in anger.

"I'm going to kill that girl," she murmured before she dusted herself off and shrugged at Trunks. "I'm a blonde, says it all doesn't it? Plus, I am related to the clumsiest person ever to exist…and will ever exist." She said the last as an afterthought.

Trunks just chuckled. "What were you trying to get out of the house so fast for?"

Ko's eyes lit up and her evil grin came back to her face. She took a step and almost fell again, Trunks caught her again.

"Did you hurt your foot?" he asked, concern filling his voice.

Ko groaned as she pressed various spots on her left foot. "It's a sprain, damn!" then she paused as something just dawned on her. "It'll heal in a half hour at the most."

Before he could respond to Ko's statement, her mind went back to why she had run in the first place. Ko's evil grin took over her face and she rose in the air. Ko had forgotten she could fly. Being away from this world for so long had made her forget all the powers that she once had as a Saiyan.

Quickly, her mind adjusted, and she flew straight toward the only full blooded Saiyan's left. Who didn't even see her coming until it was too late. Vegeta, though, turned around fast enough so that when she crashed into him, he was the one taking the fall.

Their eyes locked; her hands ended up folding and she rested her chin on it. His arms instinctively were around her. This wasn't the first time she had crashed into him. Vegeta looked a little amused, and Ko had a smile on her face…others were shocked. Two were jealous…no, she didn't need to think about that. She didn't need to think that one of her Scouts was disobeying her orders.

"Is there a reason why you are on top of me? I knew you couldn't keep your hands off me!" Vegeta smirked and Ko rolled her eyes.

"You so wish that were true." Ko mocked, shaking her head at the same time. Vegeta was an idiot then, and he would always be one.

Vegeta let out a booming laugh. "Why would I want your clumsy, weak, ugly ass self?"

Ko growled and the amused atmosphere changed. "Ugly? Weak? Who was the one begging for my help on Sakipami?"

Vegeta's eyes narrowed and a split second before he attacked she had moved. She threw herself to the right, her right foot hit the ground after the spin and she pushed herself away. Not even a second after, Vegeta had punched a crater in the ground. That was how it was for the next few minutes; Ko would be like a dancer and always dance out of harm.

"You can't run forever Pixie!" Vegeta snarled and fired up an energy blast and shot at her.

She ended up standing in front of her sister, if Ko moved, Bunny would be hit. If she stayed where she was, Bunny would get an after blast. So Ko did the only thing she could do. She met it head on.

The energy whipped around and inside of her. When the dust cloud disappeared, they saw her kneeling on the ground, breathing hard. Her hair was suspiciously moving like the Saiyan's did before they powered up.

"Sister!" Bunny cried before she tried to run to her; but Setsuna held her back.

Vegeta had a pale look on his face. "You shouldn't have run into that. You could have stopped the blast…" he whispered, only Trunks—who was nearest—heard him.

Ko tried to stand up, putting weight on the ankle that was already hurt, and she collapsed. She closed her eyes and steeled herself. Two seconds later she was up and walking toward her little sister.

Vegeta then groaned. "Woman, stop being a martyr! Get off your damn foot, and stop trying to tough."

Ko ignored him and stopped, three feet from her sister. She held out her hand. There was a light crazed look in her eye. It was one that Setsuna in addicts, not heavy ones that lived and breathed it, but the ones that were just getting into the drug.

Bunny gave her a confused look, "what do you want?"

Ko gave a frustrated sigh. "Give me the Crystal."

Bunny didn't know how to react, but the look on Ko's face told her that she needed to give her the Crystal fast, before her sister snapped. Bunny had a weird feeling that if she didn't give it to her, or questioned her about it, she would be the one hurt.

The youngest Moon Princess took her brooch off of her shirt, opened it and before she could summon it out; it was already in Ko's hands. Her sister's face became so peaceful; you would have never known it was her.

"Oh my precious, I'm sorry you've been away from me so long." Ko whispered softly as she looked at the Crystal lovingly. It had been so long…as if a part of herself had been missing.

Ko bent down, a held the Crystal near her ankle. Some of her life force left her and went into her foot. The energy didn't stop there, it moved up her body until a soft glow encased it.

Hotaru snapped her out of her daze. "If you don't stop Princess, it will encase you in Crystal! It won't let you leave it ever again!"

The urgency in her voice snapped Ko out of her daze and Ko dropped the Crystal. Instead of following to the ground, it was absorbed inside of her. Ko groaned and started pulling at her hair.

"Great! This is exactly what the hell I need."

Bunny didn't know what to think, her Crystal was gone, inside of her sister like it was inside of her. Suddenly she felt a little empty. She needed the Crystal back; it had become a part of her since it had left her body through a tear.

"Ko, I need the Crystal back."

Ko whirred around on her. "It isn't yours sister dear. Just because you think something is yours, doesn't mean it actually is. Of course, you do have experience with wanting things that belong to me, do you not, little sister?"

Bunny grew angry. "Endymion was never yours! He is a person, not an object."

Ko laughed, her eyes and smile become cold. "Of course, but I had his love first. Until you stole it away, that is. The Prince of Earth little sister, was my love months before you even stepped foot on that planet."

A few gasps were heard from the Z Fighters but the two sisters weren't paying attention.

"If he loved you so much, he wouldn't have gotten us confused!" Bunny cried. "Not to mention I saw you with his Knights. You got onto my Scouts for getting with them, yet I know you were with them almost every day."

Ko looked thoughtful. "I knew you were spying on me; but I had thought it stopped after you stole him from me."

"Princess…can you just leave Endymion alone? Why do you need him, you have—" Michiru was cut off Haruka who elbowed her.

Ko saw a flash in her mind, of a man that had a few traits of Endymion, but he was completely different. He was hot, compassionate, way smarter; and he knew how to fight with a sword. He had longer hair and…he felt like he cared.

Ko's eyes became confused. "What?"

"Princess, do not worry about it, she doesn't know what she's talking about." Haruka hurried; but Michiru glared.

"She is going to have to find out someday. No doubt the Prince will come looking for her once he realizes she is awake. He still loves her after all these years."

The older Princess was speechless. "Who are you talking about? Prince? Endymion doesn't even know I exist, and Kunzite isn't the Prince of the Dark Kingdom…I would know; seeing as I am Queen."

Bunny shot her a betrayed, but furious look. "Queen? QUEEN OF THE DARK KINGDOM? They destroyed the Silver Millennium! They are evil! Look at Beryl and Metaria." Then she snorted. "Of course you know Kunzite; you condemned him to the Darkness of the Dark Kingdom."

Ko waved her sister off about the Queen stuff. "Yes I did that to Kunzite, and the others, but only because they were failing to do their duty. To protect you and their prince; I think I punished your Scouts well enough that it doesn't happen again." Her tone got dark toward the end and everyone held their breath. They knew that they were disobeying her; they had started becoming comfortable with their partners. They were starting to care for them.

"Punished them? What did you do?" Krillin asked curiously.

Ko looked him dead in the eyes. "Kunzite was in love with Venus," he flinched.

"Nephrite was in love with Jupiter," Ko saw the green man took a turn flinching himself.

"Zoicite, one of my favorites, was in love with Mercury," Adam recoiled as if he had been slapped.

"And last but not least, poor little gullible loving Jadeite was in love with Mars," Yamucha didn't flinch or recoil, he downright cringed.

The guys turned to the female partner's and saw the sorrow, guilt, and pain etched on their faces. Not even five minutes ago would they say the girls could feel something like that? The girls were happy as anyone could be.

"Course, the curse was that they would love them forever, but never able to be with them. Poor Knights ended up being bound to the Dark Kingdom—it's sad, but they were used by Beryl, the disgusting bitch." Ko spat her name."I hate the both of them."

Bunny recovered enough to ask how she was Queen; it seemed that the new revelation had blocked memories off.

Ko looked a little surprised. "I guess mother didn't tell you, not that she told me shit either. My father was the King; he died more than three hundred years before you were born. Metaria killed him because he 'cheated' on her," Ko rolled her eyes. "They weren't even married."

Minato, still sore about what her elder Princess did to her and the others had to jab a knife in a wound. "So, what's this about another Prince? You string him along like you did our past loves? Don't think we don't know about that. They told us that you meet them almost every day, fighting with them. Pretending to love them."

Ko still looked confused at the first part. "I know no other Prince; as for your other statement you lie. I loved them, but they were brothers, best friends to me. They helped train me how to fight…with a sword…" Ko trailed off as images, memories assaulted her mind.

Immense pain erupted through her, as she saw herself inside of hollow hole inside of a tree, completely soaked from the constant rain that poured down. She looked horrible, her eyes looked hollow themselves…it was as if no one home, as if the girl had lost the will to live.

Ko wasn't the only one to see this, it seemed that she projected this to everyone outside.

"No thinking, thinking hurt, pain, betrayal." She mumbled as she felt the pain once again. "Days went by, no moving."

Time shifted and someone was coming toward her, a figure, a male. He got up close, close enough where she could see him…he was beautiful, but she didn't notice. His eyes looked pained just seeing her; they flashed from red to black to blue.

He stared into her eyes, and a staring contest ensued.

"I don't care, go away, I'm broken can't you see? I don't want to feel anything, but numbness…"

Then he stopped playing and held out his hand. She didn't take it, she just stared; then lightning flashed and she saw him.

"So wet…why is he not seeking cover and dryness? Why here? Why me?"

That made her decision. She took that leap of faith and took his hand.

The scene shifted to the woods, this time there was no rain; things had changed. Serenity felt herself get pulled in the body of her memory, instead of just watching like before.

"So, you decided to get here after all." A deep male voice said.

She turned around and smiled as she ran into the man's out stretched arms.

"Come on, Kunzite, I'm just a little late." Serenity said as she backed out of the hug. "Moonie kept me a little late."

Another voice chuckled, she turned. "So, are you ready to take us all on? Or has all Moonie's training been for naught?"

Serenity scowled. "I can take you all on at once! So when I kick your butt, Nephrite, don't be crawling to me for mercy."

Another voice laughed. "I want to see that happen. He needs to be knocked down a peg or two."

Serenity nodded. "I totally agree Zoicite, so, where is Jadeite? I missed him last time." Serenity said as she looked around for him.

She didn't see or sense him coming up behind her. His arms encircled her waist, picked her up and spun her around.

She squealed. "Jadeite put me down! I mean it, don't make me make you." She threatened, but when he tickled her she lost her mean voice and laughed.

He put her down. "Oh, you will, will you?"

Serenity growled and pulled out her two swords, spun them around in her hands and launched herself at Kunzite, who wasn't expecting it.

As she threw her weight and strength into the swords she noticed that he wouldn't win this struggle, he hadn't been ready enough.

"Never let your guard down, even among friends." She told them wisely.

"Oh that is from a girl who just got picked up and tickled?" Zoicite asked as he sent a kick her way.

"Yep!" was her reply as matched his kick with hers and they flew back a little, she twisted and launched herself at Kunzite again with one sword while she flipped her sword and knocked Nephrite out.

She jumped back from Kunzite and stopped. The other three Knights surrounded her, but didn't move.

"It seems he needs to pay attention, and not think someone can only focus and fight with one person at a time. He needs to multi-task. Oh wait," she smirked. "Guys can't."

Jadeite growled at her. "Let's see if you can fight two people at the same time, Zocite, back."

She gave him an evil grin. "Bring it on lover boy."

He blushed a second before he controlled himself. She launched at her right side, while Zoicite got her left. She didn't move, didn't raise her sword. Instead she rolled forward. The two Knights' swords clashed.

Serenity then jumped backwards, over then and kicked them in the head, left foot connected with Zoicite, while her left got Jadeite.

They stumbled, but it was enough. Serenity knocked their swords away; she put up hers, and launched into a fist fight with them.

Zoicite, in a flash, kicked Serenity on her right side.

"Zo, please, you can kick better than that." Serenity said as she held her side. "I thought I showed you how to do a real kick a second ago?"

Jadeite thought this was a great opening, so he went for it. He punched at her head, but she ducked, twisted around dashed under his legs—which shocked everyone and froze Jadeite—she twisted again, now she was facing him. She laid down and kicked at his back, all within a few seconds. Jadeite went flying into a tree, head first, knocking him out.

Then she turned to Zoicite and Kunzite, and jumped into the trees. They shook off their emotions and focused on their hearing and sight.

But they couldn't tell where she was. It was as if she was born in the forest and knew how to use it to her advantage.

Zoicite didn't see it coming when Serenity jumped down onto his shoulders and pressed a few fingers into his neck. He collapsed and she jumped off of him.

Serenity faced Kunzite. They started to circle each other, while she got out her swords.

"I am impressed my Lady. You have improved greatly since you first started training with the Prince." He said before he did a right jab with his sword, one she twisted to the right to avoid.

"Yes, I have come a long way in this last year. I can't believe it's been so long since Moonie kicked me so hard I flew—what?—thirty feet? I thought it was fifty. And my scream grabbed your attention and you caught me. A dress was not something to train in."

Now she had tight black pants, with a tight fitting black shirt as well. There were two sword sheaths at her waist, one on each side, and a place on her back for a bow. Her boots were black. Most Knights had capes, but her; no she had a black leather jacket that went down to her feet. She didn't have it now, because Moonie was messing with it. He did cut it earlier today.

"What I have on now, is so much better." Serenity said before she went down and dove for his knees.

He jumped back, but didn't expect her to jerk herself back, her feet hitting the ground and she launched her after him.

For five minutes all that could be heard was metal clashing. No one got nicked—this time—but it took awhile to get around the others tight knit guard. By then Nephrite had awaken and was watching the fight interest.

Finally, Serenity grew tired with fighting she did a nice front dash toward him, knowing it wouldn't work.

But she tripped and with a strangled cry fell to the ground. Her swords dropped to the ground, while her left hand, close enough to grab it, was holding her left ankle.

"Princess! Did you sprain it?" Kunzite asked as he put away his sword and knelt down next to her.

A split second and her swords were crossed at his neck.

"I win." She smirked.

Nephrite busted out laughing. "Oh that was good, that was a great trick to get his guard down."

Serenity groaned as she dropped her swords, her left hand went to her ankle. "No, that wasn't actually a trick. I actually did something to the dang thing. The whole me wining thing was a bonus."

She leaned against her right side and tried to get up, but as soon as she put weight on her left, she almost fell.

Kunzite grabbed her. "Watch it; you are as clumsy as that sister of yours."

Serenity gave him a death glare, and turned away from him. She jerked her head at Nephrite and he came to her.

"Pick those up will you?" she asked, closing her eyes.

She heard when he had finished held out her hands and put them away, all without opening them.

"Should we help her back?" Nephrite whispered to Kunzite. "She looks as if she's about to fall."

"She don't need your help." Serenity gritted out. "And she can clearly hear you."

"Kunzite? Nephrite? Zoicite? Jadeite? Where are you guys?" a voice called.

Serenity snapped her head toward the sound. Her eyes had gone wide. She didn't want to meet Endymion, she didn't want to see, or talk to him at all.

When she looked back at Kunzite her eyes were desperate. They all knew what had happened before. That was one of their reasons for help training her, another was being her friends. They were drawn to her anyway, without knowing the pain she went through. Every time someone mentioned the Prince her eyes showed the pain, but her face did not, and it was gone before they saw it again.

The vision ended and Ko had her eyes closed. Her emotions were all over the place; Bunny tried to calm her down, reminding her that her emotions controlled the Crystal.

But Ko couldn't control her emotions, she couldn't breathe. So Vegeta decided to help her—by kicking her ten feet into the air and twenty feet away from where she stood moments ago.

She fell to the ground and rolled; maybe two foot before she stopped, she was on her left side, her back to everyone. Slowly she got up, and turned to face Vegeta, who had come closer to her.

She launched herself at him, pushing Vegeta back a couple feet, until they were close to where Trunks was standing. They both saw her eyes flash back and forth between black, until she just closed them and jumped away from them.

Setsuna was in front of her in an instant. "Princess, you have to calm down; they don't understand what's going on."

The elder Princess in front of the Scout of Time opened her eyes slightly; they had a gold tint to them. "I haven't seen you since I went to sleep. How has it been? Have you enjoyed being put back on Guard Duty?" her voice was calm, but there was this irry tone to it that screamed Darkness.

Haruka was in front of her as well. "Princess, you shouldn't be out. Your other side is not ready yet."

Her Princess scoffed at her. "I'm out aren't I? I wouldn't be here and in control of this body if not for the fact that she isn't ready to be here. So, I'm taking over for a little bit." A small evil smile played on her lips.

Vegeta eyes narrowed as he realized what was going on. "So, you've come back. The Darkness side of Serenity."

Bunny looked at her sister and back at Vegeta. "What?"

Hotaru walked toward them. "Your sister is the daughter of the King of Darkness; obviously, she has Darkness inside of her. She was raised in the Light, in a place that held no Darkness, so to protect herself, she created another personality. This is the Serenity that is deadly, and can fully use her powers as both a Princess of the Light and Darkness. She was the one doing the dirty work of the Silver Millennium for over two hundred years."

Ko's body nodded. "I was the one who erased all the memories of the humans on Earth so they forgot they had two Princes. Stupid human royalty, giving up their children to long dead orders," she snorted as she shook her head.

"Why are you here?" Trunks spoke for the first time in what seemed like ages.

"Because my Light side just remembered how broken she was and who healed her. The brother of the one who made her like that in the first place; not only that, but her memoires were being hid from her. It's going to take a few more minutes for the shock to stop. She's quite strong, but there is a limit to what people can take." She mused lightly.

Then, in a split second everything changed. Ko looked shocked at first, her eyes widening, then she doubled over in pain. Her mind snapping back in place as her eyes flashed black once more, before it was green again.

"Oh no, damn it! Another possession…just when I thought nothing could get any worse…" Ko moaned as her Scouts helped her stand.

"Do you know who it is?" Uranus' partner asked quickly, trying to distract everyone from what they had just seen. He knew that his partner was hurting from it, and so was most of the others. Today had just not been a good day at all.

"No…" she closed her eyes. "But I hear whispers…"

Hotaru locked eyes with her Princess, when the latter opened them. Death was warning her, that he was near, that he would strike again. This time, using her.

Ko shook of everything else that had been weighing her down; she slipped out of her emotions and came back the warrior.

"Get in your teams now! You need to leave now," she stressed and the Z Fighters grabbed their partners and headed off.

Bunny took one look at her sister, grabbed her hand and transformed. She drew on the power within her sister's body, the Silver Imperial Crystal. After she did that, Ko summoned the Silver Crystal out of her body and handed it to her sister, who put it back in her brooch.

She turned to Trunks, "let's go."

~LG~

It wasn't ten minutes later before Sailor Moon confronted her sister. "Nemesis...are you..." she trailed off, not knowing how to say it.

Gohan understood his partner, but it seemed Trunks' didn't.

"Am I what?" Nemesis said in a tired voice. "I have no times for games, Moon; we have a mission that needs to be complete. So, get on with it."

Moon nodded and gathered her courage. "Are you back to normal?"

Nemesis made Trunks stop; as a result Gohan stopped flying as well. In her Sailor Form, she couldn't use any of her Saiyan powers, because she wasn't a Saiyan; she was her other self, the one who was a Princess of the Moon Kingdom. So she, like the rest of the Scouts—besides Uranus, sometimes—couldn't fly.

"Trunks put me down..." she stopped when she saw the look on his face and she chuckled."I'm going to stand on your toes."

It was then that he got it. He pulled his right arm from under her knees, and made sure both of his arms were around her waist before he slightly picked her up and twisted her body just a tad; so that her back was up against his chest.

Trunks had never tried to control himself more than in that moment. Gohan mimicked their positions and did the same with Moon.

"Am I back to normal? Sister, you are going to have to elaborate. I have no idea what you are talking about."

Moon looked confused at her sister. "So you are yourself again...what happed to the Darkness?"

Just the mention of the Darkness side had Nemesis shivering, but she didn't realize it was that, she thought it was something else.

Trunks tightened his hold on her, "what's wrong?"

Nemesis could hear the whispering again...something was calling to her again. She knew this voice as well as her own. It was Death...

"Princess...you hear him calling, do you not?"

Nemesis nodded, her eyes still closed. "He is trying to tell me something Saturn...but I can't hear him that well."

"Death is warning you, dear Princess. Death is telling you that he will visit you today."

Nemesis snapped to attention and pushed out of Trunk's arms. She had to get away from. Death was clinging to close to her; she couldn't risk them catching his eye. Though she didn't understand why she cared; why should she care if they died? She was alone, she would always be alone; they would die and she would continue to exist. That was her curse, to forever be alone. She had to pay for her crimes, all of her crimes. Even the ones that weren't done as Serenity; she knew she had to pay for something that was done a long time ago, so long ago that she couldn't even remember when that was or what she had done.

Whatever it was, it was bad enough that she was punished in her next life.

Karma, sometimes, was a bitch.

~LG~

Moon screamed, Gohan did everything he could to keep her still, and in place. He couldn't have her following to her death too.

Trunks…his heart stopped when she pushed away from him. He watched her fall for a few moments then he rushed out after her. He couldn't let her die, not after everything they had been through, not after everything that had happened. Trunks wasn't sure he couldn't take anymore of this death; but if she wasn't at his side? He definitely couldn't survive.

The purple haired man had grown attached to his partner. They all knew what she had advised in the beginning, but he couldn't help but let himself fall for her. Her strength to do her duty, even if it slowly killed her inside; her power…not to mention her will.

She was an empath; everyone's grief had to hit her hard. But she put on a brave face and let them grieve, even if it hurt her. She knew everyone's emotions, she felt them. Yet, she didn't block them like he knew she could. Instead, she embraced them, as if they were her punishment for causing it.

But she still stayed strong; even if she tried to ignore everything else.

And now she was throwing herself away from him…that hit home with Trunks. Did she really not want him? Did she hate him that much? No, he wouldn't let himself believe that. He couldn't.

Vegeta's son tried to go into her mind, but he was immediately pushed out. She didn't, her emotions did. He caught a glimpse of what she was hiding; the pain was staggering. If he was standing, it would have brought him to his knees. She was afraid for them; that and something about crimes and being alone.

She wasn't alone…didn't she know that already? They had all stuck by her even after everything she had said and done. The Z Fighters knew she was trying to protect them all; and at one of their meetings Adam had said that he got the feeling that if Nem could, she would always be the one to kill. In a way, she was always trying to protect them. Yet, most of the time she didn't know how, she didn't know how to comfort them. But she wanted to. Even though she looked like an evil bitch, she wasn't. She had experienced deep pain and trauma, and subconsciously she was trying to make sure no one else followed her path.

Now, it was Trunk's turn to be there for her. The half Saiyan would save her.

Maneuvering his body, he tried to get more speed, but she was just too far from him. With a burst of power, he tried to make himself go faster, but she was still too far. He only had one option: Super Saiyan. Without any more thought, he transformed and flew straight to her.

~LG~

Nemesis felt his power flexing; she didn't want him near her! Why couldn't he understand? She growled, took her staff and sent different Elemental Attacks at him. First Water…he was still coming after her. Next she used Fire, and he didn't stop. In twenty seconds she knew they would be close enough for her to use Earth, but not yet. With a passing thought she summoned Wind to her, it increased her speed and she shot off. He was no match for her when she used Wind. No one was.

Five seconds and she would land. He called to her.

Four seconds until she was away from him. He cried her name.

Three until she was clear of all nuisances. He shouted to get her attention.

Two until she could go find Chaos herself. His voice roared with force, trying to get her to look at him.

One until she was free. He screamed with everything in him, trying to make her hear or see him.

Nemesis landed on the ground, she tried to land smoothly, but it didn't happen. Her foot slipped and she rolled more than twenty feet. Earth tried to catch her and cushion her landing. It would have worked if she didn't run into something.

She groaned and tried to stand up, but before she could try to move her body, something yanked her up. After she was up, and her senses were back, she noticed it was an Earth minion that had stopped her from rolling, such irony.

Trunks was right behind her, well thirty feet away really. Gohan and Moon would land in moments.

"So…this time I find you first." A deep voice observed, it made Gohan and Trunks flinch.

Nemesis found the owner of said voice and narrowed her eyes. His skin was green, just like Dende. If she didn't know any better, she'd say it was Piccolo. One look at the two Z Fighters in her group confirmed her suspicions.

Well, they had found them; it was up to them to dispatch them. She brought her knee to her chest, and then shoved it back into the chest of the minion that thought it could hold her. This cured the others of their momentarily paralysis and launched into the fight.

Within seconds, all thirty or so minions were dead. Nemesis turned to the green alien in front of her.

All he did was looked amused. "Well, just jumping into the fight, eh? It seems you have changed. Before you would wait and see what was happening first, before launching in. Most of the time…the other times you would just let someone else do the dirty work for you. You just couldn't be bothered with Death; it was as if you didn't want to get dirty."

His words didn't reflect her life as a Saiyan or the one she lived on the Moon. Yet, his words were true. It seemed to match with her thoughts not even ten minutes ago; the one with the crimes. The ones that she couldn't remember…it were as if she was another person. One that had more than just her in it; she looked deeper and got the feeling that she was only half of that person.

Her eyes connected with his. "You know who I am, don't you?"

Piccolo smirked. "I know more than you will ever know." He stopped as he thought through his words. "Well, you will know them soon. Soon you will join me." He whispered the last sentence, only she heard it.

Nemesis's eyes changed to black and her anger was getting out of control. "Never." she growled through clenched teeth.

Piccolo just laughed at her and shrugged. "You'll see soon enough. You will come to me running, pleading, and begging me."

Nemesis didn't let him continue. She was on him in a flash. Piccolo was constantly defending; she never gave him a chance to attack. He would fire offensive attacks just to save himself, but it would never be to actually hurt her. If it did, well, it was a bonus. She wasn't perfect, some of his defense attacks came through, but she was kicking his ass.

The others had come because Moon had called them. Vegeta was the last to arrive, seeing as his group was the furthest away.

As he watched he just chuckled. The others looked at her weirdly. He just shrugged, "I hadn't seen her this worked up since that stupid intern said something about her morals…or was it her hair?" he mused the last part before his eyes grew wide.

"Oh shit, he wouldn't…"

Nemesis had did a full body flip backwards, and Piccolo sent a slicing energy attack at her. Her feet were up in the air; he didn't expect her to stay that way. As a result, her hair got cut.

She fell straight to the ground, as if she was Samson. A huge crater formed, dust blowing everywhere. Trunks and her sister went to run to her, but Vegeta stopped them.

"If you don't want to die, stay back." His voice was dead serious, his face looked strained.

When it cleared she was in the hole with her hair scattered around her. Her beautiful long dark blond hair had now become short, stopping just a tiny bit above her shoulders.

"Do you know what long hair means to those of the Moon?" Nemesis asked ever so softly, but her voice was void of any emotion. "It shows our status, as rulers, as Queen and Princess, we are the only ones with have long hair like that. Without it, you are no longer royalty in a way. We aren't a pack of Shape Shifting Wolves who cut their hair for shorter coats; ours is to show our status, our place in the rulers of the Silver Millennium. That is what the twin circles are on our head for. And you just took it all away."

Piccolo was silent. "So? The Silver Millennium is dead, as is the Moon Kingdom; not to mention all the other Planets. Your culture and way of life is dead…so why should it matter about your hair anyway? You look much better with shorter hair."

In that moment Nemesis de-transformed and her head snapped up, and she screamed. Power rippled around her, coating her like a blanket. Her hair turned black and spiked. The front spiked down, while the top of the back spiked up, but the rest went down.

Before anyone could blink, she was Piccolo like bread to butter. She was lightning fast, and fighting with her body; not Sailor Attacks like before. It was as if she was just like the Z Fighters.

"Is she…" Goten started to ask, but couldn't, awe consuming his voice.

Gohan was stunned and couldn't speak; Trunks' eyes were wide, "it's like she's a Super Saiyan, but we weren't that powerful…or that fast."

Ko was throwing regular, powered up, energy attacks as if she had been doing it for years.

"This, everyone," Vegeta explained with nothing in his voice. "Is what Serenity was as a Saiyan, cold, heartless, not to mention ruthless. She was our best fighter, evil as some would put it, but there were times were she was the kindest person I ever met. Right now, she is in one of her modes."

Trunks couldn't take his eyes off the powerful, menacing, deadly woman in the sky. "Is she a Super Saiyan, dad?"

Vegeta gave a snort. "No, she isn't a Super Saiyan. She's past that; she's skipped most of them, now she is Super Saiyan Four. Don't you see the black hair? Kakarrot and I had to fuse to be able to achieve that. Her emotions must have been so strong, that it pushed through all the others. Don't you see the tail?"

Now that he pointed it out, they saw it. Only after Piccolo had backhanded her and sent her crashing into the ground ten feet from them.

Trunks moved to help her, but Vegeta held him back. "She isn't there; she's only using instincts right now. There isn't any thinking going on, she is only reacting."

Trunks didn't want to just stand there, but he knew what his dad was saying. If he went to help her, she would attack him.

Gohan was amazed. "Since when has Piccolo been able to stand up and fight on even ground with a Super Saiyan Four?"

"He has Chaos controlling him," Pluto answered. "That means that he is faster, stronger, and in general more powerful. Chaos has been around since the beginning of Time. No doubt Chaos can fight."

They watched until Ko grew frustrated and back flipped in the air away from him.

"Running will get you nowhere," Piccolo told her with a sneer in his voice.

She growled in animal fashion and held her right arm above her head. She spun it in a circle over and over, faster and faster, until she stopped and black energy ball was spinning at an impossible speed above her hand.

Vegeta panicked and made everyone get back; though he had no need.

"There is a barrier around them." Saturn told him. "As soon as the battle started and she lost control, she had it up. She didn't want anyone interfering when she killed him."

Everyone winced then, except Vegeta. He never cared about the green guy.

Ko's attack became bigger and bigger until it was the size of her head combined with both of her fists. She grinned wildly and shoved her hands forward.

"WHIRLWIND BLAST!"

The big ball of energy that was spinning twisted more and was sent directly at Piccolo, who barely dodged it. The crater it made was more than fifty feet wide.

Ko grinned darkly. "Oh, don't run away, it'll get you nowhere." She said, repeating his words in a voice that was barely recognized as hers.

"Come back!" she called. "I want to play! Payback is a bitch green man."

Vegeta groaned and turned around. "She's going to torture him now."

And she did; between overpowered energy blasts that always seemed to get a little bit of him and her swords, Piccolo was extremely wounded.

"DAMN IT! JUST KILL ME!" Piccolo screamed as she cut off his leg, just to watch how it painfully grew back.

Ko just giggled as she sat crossed legged in the air, watching his pain; "but it so much fun, just watching your pain."

Trunks turned to his dad; he couldn't stand to see her like this. "Do something!"

Vegeta scoffed. "What am I supposed to do? That's how we became known as the most dangerous race in the Universe; by throwing out reason and following our instincts. Once she gets like that, the only way to stop her is for her to kill him. And she won't until she isn't having fun anymore."

Saturn walked up to the edge of the barrier and knocked. A long resounding echo sounded and drew her Mistress' attention.

"He wants him; he says you can quit playing." Saturn's voice was as cold as Death's; making Ko start to descend toward the ground.

"He can't be patient can he?" she muttered as she landed and walked toward her shortest Scout. "How does he want him? I know he likes it when I slice and dice them;" she giggled, "much more pain putting them back together."

Saturn sighed. "No slicing and dicing; he doesn't like that and you know it."

Ko rolled her eyes as she turned to look at Piccolo growing the latest limb that she cut off. "It annoys him, and he is impatient…" her voice trailed off as she snapped her fingers.

Piccolo didn't even have time to scream before his body was cut into tiny pieces.

Saturn just sighed again. "He isn't going to like this."

Ko just shrugged as her hair went back to dark blonde. They saw her eyes; they were black in the middle with red rims. If they didn't know any better, they would have said she was possessed.

"I don't…" before she finished her body collapsed two feet from the barrier.

Almost everyone ran to her; praying that she was okay. If they didn't have her, how could they hope to defeat Chaos?

To be continued...
