Dire Life 10
Serena skidded to a stop and dropped to her knees her hands punching the ground before her as rain poured from the sky. The coldness caused goosebumps to rise on Serena's skin. 'Those girls . . . they were the spirits of the moon, the guardians. Always to fight for peace . . . damn it what HAPPENED! The only way they could've turned evil is if . . . no, that can't be. That wouldn't be able to happen.' Serena looked up and stared at the moon. Instead of a peaceful gentleness and wisdom that should've been there it was made of pure darkness and shown with guidance of the devil's wrath. Scrambling up Serena ran, ran through the dark night where no stars dared to trespass or tread to show there light on this evil's territory, who showed no mercy.
Serena stopped running and floated high into the air. Speeding off she headed towards Dende's lookout ignoring the foreboding feeling that nagged in the depths of her heart.
Trunks watched as the battle continued on, nobody receiving the upper hand. His hands clenched into tight fists. He wanted to help and help badly but he told Goku that he'll stay and watch over ChiChi and Bulma. His eyes hardened as he saw Krillian and Tien double team one of the girls. 'Why are they all girls?' Trunks wondered but quickly eliminated it.
Serena landed right next to Dende who seemed to be concentrating on the fight below. Serena coughed in order to get his attention. It worked for Dende looked up in shock.
"Yes?" Dende softly questioned.
"Can I train in the Hyberbolic Time Chamber for four years but really have it only be one day here?" Dende looked at her his eyes wide,
"I don't know. We only really done it with one year per day but I guess it can work since it is a time chamber, but do you really want to waste four years of your life on training?" Serena nodded her head yes.
"You'll be all alone . . ." Dende reminded her trying to make her back out of it.
"Don't worry about." Serena curtly cut him off. Dende slowly nodded his head as he set the time chamber. When Serena disappeared behind the doors, Dende shut the doors and activated the chamber. Silently wishing her good luck.
It's been several hours and they were still fighting, as Trunks stood watching. The sun peaked behind the horizon as the moon faded away. The Z fighters who were fighting hit air as the mysterious ladies vanished. Krillian dropped to the ground exhausted, everyone else was breathing hard.
"What happened?" Yumcha questioned.
"I don't know but I'm tired, I'm going to sleep." Goku stated as he fell back on the grass closing his eyes peacefully. Vegeta scowled and walked off. Gohan laid next to his dad and fell asleep also. Trunks watched as all the exhausted Z fighters lay back and fall asleep. 'What happened?' He wondered. Then something tugged at his mind, something that he should remember. But staying up all night and watching every move they used while fighting tired him out, especially his eyes, so he just went back inside and laid back on the couch one hand draped lazily across his eyes the other holding up his head as he relaxed.
Serena relaxed after she trained. It's been two years of solitude and training but she was used to it. Closing her eyes she drifted off to sleep, but instead of sleeping without any dreams like she normally does she finds herself walking around threw a void of darkness.
"Hello daughter." Serena whipped her head around towards the sound of a voice that sounded like soft bells. The sight that greeted her was a silver hair woman, whos hair was in a weird style that looked like two buns on top of her head. She was wearing a white dress with small wings on the back and a pale violet bow. Her eyes were silvery-purple and she looked tragedy stricken.
"How do you know me?" Serena demanded. "Where am I?"
"I'm your mother, Serenity." Memories tore threw Serena's mind of the Moonkingdom, the scouts, an Earth prince, Beryl. Serena quickly bowed her face blank.
"Why are you here?"
"You were running away. You knew/remembered, who those girls/ladies were and you didn't want to fight them so you came here to train. You came here go back to something you were used to, to do something you were used to doing. You're afraid of change, my dear, and you have to learn to not fear it, that's why I'm here. You're strong physically, but mentally you're unstable. You don't know how you should act. If you should act happy because you're finally happy at the direction your life is moving or if you should stay cold because of the past. The past is past. Move on, be yourself, know what happened in the past but create your present the way you want it to be, the way you feel right then not the way you felt in the past."
"I don't understand."
"I can help you, if you want me too, but this will take up a years worth of your training. I will also show you some of my powers that I can teach you." Serena's mother warned.
"That I understand." Serena stated with a smirk. Serenity smiled at her daughter.
"Then lets begin."
It was night again when the Z fighter woke up.
"Man, I'm hungry." Goku announced as he stretched out.
"All taken care of!" Bulma answered with a big smile while heading towards the kitchen. Bulma and ChiChi both fell asleep also but got up before the Z fighters and decided to make some (a lot) of food for the others since they knew they would be hungry.
Soon all of them were digging in at the food on the table.
"So how do we get rid of this evil?" Krillian asked as he took a bite out of a roll.
"Kill them of course." Vegita scowled.
"How? We weren't really getting anywhere yesterday." Gohan reminded them.
"Shut up. Now were stronger."
"I guess." Gohan mumbled then continued to eat.
"Where's Serena?" Bulma questioned as she drank some juice.
"Umm . . . she went off somewhere last night and didn't return . . . yet?" Trunks answered as he recalled what happened. Bulma spit out the juice she was drinking all over Vegita who she was sitting next to.
"SHE DID WHAT, AND YOU DIDN'T STOP HER!" Bulma demanded. Vegita scowled muttering some curses as he stood up and stalked out of the room to change.
Trunks scratched the back of his head nervously.
"I . . . uh . . . no." He stammered and looked down.
"Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself.." A soft voice from the doorway caused everyone to go silent and look towards the door where a girl stood. The girl was what seemed to be 5'5 with golden blonde hair with silver streaks, her eyes were a gentle azure blue as she wore a white T-shirt with black baggy jeans. In her left hand she held a silver bladed sword with a black handle.
"Serena?" Trunks questioned.
"The one and only." Serena responded and grinned. Her eyes twinkled with laughter at the reactions that greeted her, mostly shock.
"What happened?" Bulma demanded as she got up. "You look older!"
"Four years older to be exact . . . I'm now . . . fifteen." Vegita walked back in just in time to hear what Serena told everyone. He looked at her and smirked.
Musical giggling sounded through the room from outside. Everyone got up and went outside to check it out. There stood the same girls from last night standing there innocently. Serena looked at one of them in the eyes and smirked mysteriously.
"Vegita." Serena whispered causing Vegita to glance at her. "You like to destroy things right?" Vegita just glared at her but he was curious so he stayed quiet listening to what she was going to say.
"Destroy the moon."
"But it already was destroyed girl, why will it stay destroyed this time, that would be just a waste of energy."
"Trust me." Serena whispered her eyes flashed silver then returned back to their normal azure blue.
