Part 21: "The Namek Saga" (II)
"Well, we got the Dragonballs!" Krillin said, as he carried the Namekian child while flying away from Freeza and his minions. "We're half way there!"
"I feel sorry for these guys," Gohan said, as he looked at the Namekian child that he was carrying. He then turned towards Sailor Moon, who was flying with the Dragonballs orbiting her.
"Grandma, what can we do next?" Gohan asked.
"You and Krillin take these kids to base," Sailor Moon said. "I'm going to hide these balls somewhere."
"But why?" Krillin said. "We got the balls!"
"You don't risk your tactical position, Krillin," Sailor Moon said. "If, by chance, the bad guys find the Dragonballs at your home base location, where do you think we will be?"
"Um, screwed?"
"Precisely. If either the location of base or the location of these balls is compromised, at least we have a chance to recover…"
Pause.
"And there's the real possibility that Vegeta is also on this planet, and I don't want any of us distracted," Sailor Moon said, as she noticed an atmospheric disturbance that was on approach from the rear. "Guys-"
"We know," Gohan said.
"What are we going to do?" Krillin said in fright.
"I'm going to deal with our pursuer," Sailor Moon said. "You two go back to base, and wait for me there."
"But Grandma-"
"Trust me. I'll be okay…"
With that, Krillin and Gohan move off, with their passengers, as Sailor Moon lands. She quickly surveys the scene, as sees a plateau…
"There," Sailor Moon said, as she uses Earth Bending to lift the plateau up into the air. She then places the Dragonballs where she lifted the plateau, and then re-set the plateau back in place.
THOOM!
And with a quick use of Air and Water Bending, the environment was restored, once more.
"There, that ought to do it," Sailor Moon said, just as Dodoria arrives…
"So," Dodoria said, as she sneered at the Moon Princess. "You must be hot stuff to face one of Freeza's elite warriors, instead of running away."
"No, not really," Sailor Moon said. "I always believe that there will be somebody stronger than one's self."
"Good advice."
"And then, that's when I make it my goal to take that person down, thoroughly."
"So, you think you're tough enough to take ME on?" Dodoria said.
"Don't know. But, we can find out."
"Humph. I like your style. Too bad you have to die by it…"
Dodoria moved at lightning speed, just as Sailor Moon moves away from Dodoria grappling.
FWOOSH!
"Huh?" Dodoria said, as she was amazed that her opponent could easily escape her grasp…
"Mosh-T," Sailor Moon said. "It's a martial arts technique that is required for all Federation Marshals to know…"
"Mosh-T", taught on Earth, at the old West Point Academy, to candidates becoming Federation Marshals, allows the user to utilize 100 percent of his or her neural network, and gives the illusion of being faster—mentally and physically—than non-Mosh-T users. Coupled that with chi (physical), reiki (mental) and/or chakra (physical and mental) manipulation training, and a Mosh-T user is a formidable opponent. Of course, Sailor Moon, along with her husband Ranma Saotome, has had such training in these areas, and then some…
"I don't know what this 'Mosh-T' is, but that doesn't mean squat to a firecracker like ME," Dodoria said, as she began to discharge massive amounts of energy blasts at Sailor Moon…
Sailor Moon palmed the blasts, using Energy Bending (as taught to her, Ranma, Goku and Avatar Aang on Jeegoo by the great Lion Turtle) and the Force (as taught to her and Ranma by the Jedi and the Sith).
'Energy can be change states, never negated,' Sailor Moon thought serenely, remembering her studies. 'And certainly, it can be manipulated...'
The Moon Princess then smacks the energy blasts with the back of her other hand, sending the blasts back to Dodoria.
"What the-?"
BOOOM!
"Arrgh!" Dodoria yelled, as she is blasted backwards. She is thrown into a cliff, causing a thunderous impact.
THOOM!
As Dodoria coughs, trying to get her bearings straight, Sailor Moon walks up to her.
"What?" Dodoria said, as she felt her head being grabbed.
"Quiet," Sailor Moon said, as she read Dodoria's thoughts. Over the years, she learned to harness her mental abilities, particularly in energy-rich environments like the Lucas Galaxy and Rifts Earth, although, it could be said that she, being the Moon Princess, had the potential to develop mental powers anyway. Of course, her training under the Crane Sage did give her actual telepathic capabilities, just as her "brothers" Tien Shenhan and Chiaotzu were able to acquire them as well. Goku and Ranma learned this trick from Sailor Moon, as well as taught to others who were inclined to learn this trick…
"What are you doing?" Dodoria said in a panic.
"I'm trying to determine whether or not you should live," Sailor Moon said. "Hmmm…"
"I only worked for Lord Freeza after he blew up my homeworld," Dodoria said. "What else could I have done?"
"You could have walked away?" Sailor Moon said, as she opened her eyes. "I have decided on what to do with you…"
"You're…going to kill me?" Dodoria asked.
"No. I'm giving you this one chance to walk away. I suggest you take."
"R-Really?" Dodoria asked with caution.
"Really. If I wanted you dead, I would simply point your boss towards your way…"
Pause.
"Now, get out of here," Sailor Moon said, as she turned and walks away…
"Well, I do appreciate it," Dodoria said, as she gets up. She then begins to build up her power.
"But I've already made MY bed," Dodoria said with an evil sneer. "Time to sleep in it…and over your grave-!"
Suddenly, a blast from the air comes crashing down upon Dodoria, vaporizing her in an instant.
FWAM-!
"Arrrrgggggh-!" Dodoria creamed.
Sailor Moon turned and gasped at the instant death…
"You know, you're not the warrior that I thought you were, woman," said a voice from above.
Sailor Moon turns to see Vegeta, as he descends upon the ground.
"Vegeta," Sailor Moon said.
"That's PRINCE Vegeta," Vegeta said.
"My apologies. What do you want?"
"I want the Dragonballs," Vegeta said. "And don't think that you being a female won't deter me from sending YOU into the afterlife, just as I did to Dodoria…"
Pause.
"I sense them here. Where are they?"
"Safe," Sailor Moon said.
"Not the answer I wanted to hear," Vegeta said, as he begins to power up…
"You know, for a 'prince', you are quite common," Sailor Moon said.
"What?" Vegeta said. "You dare mock me, when you're facing death?"
"Vegeta, you fought my son and I…and LOST. And since then, what was left of my family and friends fought powerful foes…and got stronger, and more experienced because of those foes…"
Pause.
"But most importantly, if we fought, how long do you think it will be before Freeza and his minions find us?" Sailor Moon said coyly. "Besides, from my experience, royalty do not have to battle to necessarily get what they want."
"Hmmm," Vegeta said, as he powers down. "Elaborate."
"From my research, the Namekian Dragonballs can grant three wishes, unlike the Chikyuu Dragonballs, which only grant ONE wish. YOU want power, while I just want my family and friends back."
"Interesting plan," Vegeta mused. "And what about the third wish? Who gets THAT?"
"We both know that this Freeza will try to kill us, whether he has the Dragonballs or not; I know this from reading Dodoria's mind. Personally, I rather let the Namekians decide on what to do with that third wish. But…if you manage to defeat Freeza, before anyone else does, I will not stop you from having that third wish."
"And I will not be interfered with?"
"You have my word."
"Interesting. And I will be working with you on this?"
"Yes. But if we do this, it will be as partners. I will go for the Dragonballs that are still out there, while you run interference, where Freeza and his men are concerned."
"What makes you think that these Namekians will give up their balls?"
"Unlike you, I have negotiation experience," Sailor Moon said. "Besides, I'm just too cute to be turned down. Tee-hee!"
Vegeta rolls his eyes…
"Fine, I will accept our partnership…for now."
"Thank you," Sailor Moon said. "By the way, I noticed that you are lacking a tail."
"Yeah, well, the medical techs said that I can't grow one back," Vegeta growled.
"Actually, you can, and I can show you how, if you allow me to show you," Sailor Moon said, as she turned around. "Here, hit me on this part of my back."
"Hee, with pleasure," Vegeta said, as he smacks Sailor Moon on one particular spot on her back…
POW!
"Ow!"
SPLURT!
"S-see?" Sailor Moon said, as she shows Vegeta her monkey.
"Interesting," Vegeta said. "Are you a Saiyan?"
"No, and it's a long story."
"Well, we have time," Vegeta said, as he turns around. "Now, do me."
"Um, what?"
"Hit me at the spot you told me about. What do you think I'm asking for?"
"Oh! Oh, sorry…"
POW!
"Ow!" Vegeta yelled. "Damn you, woman-"
SPLURT!
"See?" Sailor Moon said, as Vegeta sports a new tail. "I'm surprised you didn't know about this."
"Apparently not," Vegeta said. "At last, the Prince of ALL the Saiyans…is back and whole."
"Huh, you don't say…"
A short time later…
"YOU DID WHAT?" Krillin yelled, over a secured communications link from base to the Moon Princess.
"You don't need to yell, Krillin," Sailor Moon said over the line.
"But…you made a deal with the man who was responsible for killing half our crew!"
"I KNOW that. I know that Vegeta was the one who murdered Ranma, my HUSBAND, but I also know that we'll need Vegeta's help where Freeza's concern."
"Okay, okay. But I DO hope you know what you are doing."
"I do, too. So, let me talk to Bulma."
"Alright, one moment…"
"Bulma, speaking," Bulma said over the secured line. "What's up?"
"What's our situation?"
"Well, Dende and his brother Cargo seem to be doing okay, concerning what had happened," Bulma said. "Oh, I took the initiative to contact Roshi. Goku IS on his way."
"Good," Sailor Moon said. "With Ranma and the others not…around at the moment, we might have a chance at dealing with Freeza-"
"Woman, are done yet?" Vegeta said with annoyance.
"Is that Vegeta?" Bulma asked.
"Yeah, it's him," Sailor Moon said. "It'll be like handling a bottle of kerosene from this point forward, where Vegeta is concerned."
"You know, technically, since you're single again, you ARE free to meet other men," Bulma said jokingly.
"You're only saying that so that when Ranma DOES return, you'll get a shot at him," Sailor Moon said.
"Hey, you can't blame a girl from trying…"
