Serena POV
I really don't want to join a sport! But I have a feeling some way or another that I was going to wind up in one. If I remember correctly, cousin Pan was in few sports during her high school years. Softball, soccer, the world martial arts tournament (even though she was never made champion like Satan), basketball, you name it she did it. I know once I bring it up at home, Momma would want me to as well. 'You can't keep lounging around doing nothing Serena! Do something!" I have a feeling she would say something of that nature. As I was talking with them, Mina and Lita wanted to join Volleyball so they could be closer to Taiki and Yaten. Why is it when they join something the girls have to follow? I never really saw the point.
"Wouldn't it be obvious why we would want to Serena? I mean really!" Mina exclaimed as she got all lovey dovey. Probably thinking about Taiki or Yaten.
"Is that why you're joining too Lita?" I asked her. She started blushing and stammered out her answer.
"No! I really want to join Volleyball! I just need something different is all." She explained as the blushing got worse. Out of nowhere it seemed like, Amy popped out from behind me. I fell out of surprise on the ground, next to Mina. She helped me back up. People seemed to be doing that a lot lately, it's getting really annoying! First Trista now Amy! I really am hate that!
"I wonder if the clubs will be coed?" she wondered. Mina and Lita started worrying about this themselves. I could really care less since I wasn't going to be joining any clubs any time soon. As the girls were day dreaming about Taiki and Yaten, Seiya joined the group with a huge smile on his face and a piece of paper advertising for the school softball team. I hope he didn't do what I think he did…
"I signed you up for softball Serena, both you and me." He smirked as he handed me the packet with all of the information on it. I unwillingly took it, not wanting to any sports. Training with Vegeta was enough.
"I don't want to join Seiya. I already train with Vegeta that's enough of a work out as it is." I told him as I crossed my arms and smiled. Thinking it was the most perfect reason ever. Seiya only continued to grin at me and then he started laughing as I stayed like this.
"I already told the teacher in charge meatball head. Nice try. Veggie is just gonna have to deal without a sparring partner for a while." He told me with so much confidence that it was becoming very annoying.
"Don't call him Veggie!" I yelled as I stood up for my grandfather. I don't know how that nickname was formed but I know he hates it with a passion. The girls laughed at the nickname never hearing it before, especially Mina. She's afraid of him the most for some reason. "And I really don't want to join!" I continued to yell at him.
"Ha-ha that's a good one Seiya!" Mina laughed, she was laughing hysterically as she was hugging her sides. Lita was joining in on and I heard Amy give a slight giggle. After school I was forced into going to practice. I was given a uniform and everything. Now that I think about it, I have never even played softball in my entire life. I was more of a fighter type person thanks to my Saiyan heritage. Stuff like sports never really appealed to me. They were to repetitive and never offered something new. At least with fighting there was always something to learn. A new kick, punch, maybe even a Ki blast. The possibilities were endless when it came to learning fighting. Heck, you could even think of your own stuff and call it your own. That is why everyone in my family, including me, loved to train and fight. But every now and then when the time called for, I know there is another way to solve a problem other than violence. All of the girls, Reza and even Chibi-Chibi were here watching me. Like that makes the situation even better than from what it was. I was at the batters plate waiting for Seiya to pitch me another ball. He does really fast like, and of course, I miss it. This just happens to be my fifth strike out since we have begun. I guess he was tired of throwing strikes as Seiya decided on walking towards me. He grinned as he helped me back up. After the strike, I fell to my knees when I had done so, getting frustrated and upset.
"You've never even played before huh Serena?" he laughed as I dropped my bat to brush off the dirt on my pants. Everyone including Yaten and Taiki came over to investigate.
"I guess when Vegeta said you weren't the coordinated he meant it. I'm surprised you can fight as well as you did." Reza commented as she held Chibi-Chibi. "It's just amazing, huh Chibi-Chibi?" Reza looked over to her. She only smiled at Reza.
"Chibi-Chibi!" she happily shouted. As the girls were making fun of my lack of athletic ability, mostly the wanting of one, a group of older girls were walking onto the field. I remember hearing about these girls. They were older than us but they were huge fans of the Three Light's and really high up in the list of popularity. They even own the fan club of Three Lights', the leader being Sonoko. She was really, tall, pretty, with really long dark green hair, green eyes to match. She seemed mean just by the vibe I was giving up.
"I would stay away from Seiya, Briefs. Just because your family maybe rich and popular doesn't mean you can have him to yourself." She barked. Ouch, that kind of hurt. I stood up to them anyway.
"I don't like Seiya that way anyway. I have a boyfriend that's a lot cooler!" I told them, getting angry. I even showed them my engagement ring. "See, I'm even engaged to him! So you can have and do what you please with him!' I smiled, knowing I had won the argument. I was about to say something else, lie how they don't own Seiya or any of the Three Light's but the girls pulled me to the side.
"I wouldn't want to piss this girls off Serena." Amy warned me.
"Why Amy?" I wondered.
"Those girls are the first members of the Three Light's club; they can get pretty ruthless when the time calls for it." Mina explained. As they were telling me about Sonoko, I was listening to the conversation between Seiya and the crazy fans.
"What can I do to please my fans?" Seiya asked her calmly. His expression never changed throughout the entire conversation.
"A Softball game, between my team and yours." Sonoko challenged him. This seemed to intrigue him for some reason. It didn't to me knowing I didn't want to compete. "If you win, you can spend as much time as you want with Serena Briefs but if you lose, you can never see her again." She threatened. I can tell this seemed to bug Seiya, but he never showed his emotion. I don't know how I feel about this bet. Never seeing Seiya again? Of course right when we start becoming friends something like this pops up.
"Don't you think that's a little cruel?" Reza butted into the argument as she put down Chibi-Chibi.
"Not at all, old lady. It's what we want and we will get what we want no matter what." She replied with a sharp edge in her tone of voice. Reza was about to go and slap Sonoko silly but Taiki and Yaten held her down on the ground. Eventually Yaten and Taiki had to get on top of her so they know she won't harm Sonoko.
"I don't like him that way anyway." I muttered to myself. But it was loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Compete Serena. That way one of us can have him!" Raye told me. This whole entire situation was making me mad. But what Seiya said next just made it even worse.
"Come on Serena! We have to try our hardest so we can show our love to everyone and not have to hide it!" he proclaimed. My face was red with anger at this point. Lita and Mina were trying to get me back from punching Seiya. Somehow, some way I was forced into playing the game anyway. Seiya and I stayed all the way from the afternoon and all the way into the night. I was at the batters mound with Seiya at the pitchers. He threw the ball towards my direction, really fast and really hard. As the ball reached to me, I swung the bat, missing it for about the millionth time that night. Thankfully Seiya called it a night, feeling my frustration. By now I was resting on the bleachers, watching the star up above.
"You know, that every being is made up of Stars right?" Seiya asked me as he gave me a glass of water. I took it, as I turned to him.
"Where did you hear that?" I wondered. He looked away from me as he answered.
"It's just something that I heard from a faraway place. It's not that a big deal." Seiya ended up telling me. He eventually left after that, wanting to be by himself. Was what I asked too personal?
The next day was here too quickly and we had to compete against Sonoko's team. It seemed like the whole entire school had shown up for the entire game. So were my family for some reason. Uncle Gohan, Goten, Aunt Videl, Bulla, Vegeta, Bulma, Chi-Chi, my parents…great why were they all here!? Before the game had started, I rushed over to the fence so I could talk them. If I mess up it's going to be so embarrassing!
"Why are you guys here huh?" I asked all them. Uncle Gohan answered.
"Reza told us about the game and suggested all of us go. "He told me as I angrily turned to Reza.
"You know I didn't want to compete in the first place!" I yelled at her, she tried to hide her smirk as she gave a rebuttle.
"I know. That's why I told everyone." She ended up grinning from ear to ear as she saw my face get red from anger.
"This will probably be a good thing for you, Serena. Learning some commitment will be good for you." Momma told me. Then she saw my reaction and tried to cheer me up. Unless I didn't have to compete nothing was going to change my mood. "I mean good luck though honey, you'll do fantastic!" she said as she defended herself. I heard daddy sigh next to her as I went back to join the others. Unfortunately I was going to be the first one to bat. Sonoko ended up being the pitcher this time around. She threw the first ball. I get my bat ready as the ball came for me; I was able to strike out again! Darn it!
"Serena has gotten the first strike of the game!" I heard Mina and Raye from the speakers. I turned around to find that Mina and Raye had tied up the original announcers of the game and took there place in their seats. It seemed like no matter how hard I tried I couldn't even get a single hit! The only person on the team that could was Seiya and he seemed to be helping us catch up to Sonoko's team. By now the score was just getting to the point of pitiful. It was 1-4 at this point. As Seiya was about to go for the third time around, I started hearing roaring from above to find the clouds growing grey. Eventually it started pouring down rain, and a very heavy one at that. The game was canceled for time being until the weather had let up. I never recalled a forecast for rain so this was a surprise for everyone. Everyone was escorted into the gym at this point, not wanting to get soaked.
"Cheer up, Serena." Grandma Bulma told me as she sat down next to me. "You still have about three innings left. You can still catch up!" she said as she tried cheering me up. Nothing was going to work at this point, knowing how bad I was playing. Even though I was I horrible player I stilled played anyway.
"I don't know it just seems so hopeless at this point. But I guess I have no choice." I sighed.
"Yeah your grandmother is right. You can still do it." Lita encouraged me. Chibi-Chibi walked right up to me now.
"Bathroom." She replied, with the tension that was in the air, this was the perfect comic relief. Saying one of the few words she can, I volunteered to take her outside to one of the bathrooms there. As I was waiting on Chibi-Chibi to finish, I could see Sonoko coming my way. Was she coming to find me to rub it in that she was winning? I rolled my eyes when she reached me.
"You know that since your team is on outfield this time, I'll hit the balls to you." She promised knowing that I would drop them whenever they reach me.
"Even though with all the training I had for this, I know I'll drop them. But I'll try my hardest anyway. So Sonoko, I wish you the best of luck." I told her as I extended my hand for her to take. After Sonoko shook my hand, Chibi-Chibi was finally done. "Finished Chibi-Chibi?"
"Chibi-Chibi." She told me as I grabbed her tiny hand and took her back to the gym. Everyone was gathered around a huge circle by the time I had gotten back. Thinking that rain wasn't going to let up. I joined everyone as they were talking about the weather. I guess they couldn't think of anything else to talk about.
"This is surely unusual, the rain should be gone by now." Uncle Gohan commented.
"I know, I'm starting to get a bad vibe from this Gohan." Raye agreed.
"You guys are getting paranoid over nothing." Grandma Chi-Chi said as I finally joined them. When I looked his way. Daddy and Vegeta were very tense as well as Uncle Goten. What was going on? When I was about to ask, I heard a female scream from outside of the gym, every fighter in the family along with the girls and Reza rushed outside to go see who was being attacked. This time it was Sonoko!
"Girls transform, we'll distract her!" I heard Daddy shout as all the guys powered up. All of us do so.
"MOON ETERNAL POWER!"
"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!"
"MARS CRYSTAL POWER!"
"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!'
"VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!"
"VEGETA CRYSTAL POWER!" all of us transformed to save Sonoko, by now Lead Crow had used her bracelets on Sonoko and by now her crystal was pure black. The usual black waves of electricity surround her and now she's a new phage.
"Oh no Sonoko!" I shouted as I saw her turn into a new phage. "Why must you do this?" I shouted.
"Because we have too, Sailor Leaguer attacked all of the annoying Saiyan's and Soldiers for me please." Sailor Lead Crow commanded as Sailor Leaguer was about to begin her attack, Sailor Aluminum Siren for some reason had her bracelets aimed for someone else. It was for me! I didn't see it coming but I did here my family screaming for me to move out of the way.
"Serena run now!" I heard my mother as the girls were trying to hold me back. The blasts missed me by an inch as Vegeta got me out of the way in time. The second time I wasn't as luck as the first time. My tire was knocked out of my hand near Uncle Gohan, who grabbed it before Lead Crow could. Before I closed my eyes from the second attack Chibi-Chibi was attacked as well, and knocked out from trying to reach my tier. I could faintly hear my family as I was slowly starting to black out. Momma was crying hysterically along with Daddy as the rest were trying to fight. "SERENA WAKE UP NOW! PLEASE WAKE UP!" she said as she tried shaking me awake. As my star seed crystal was slowly coming out for me, my eyes slowly went out. "SERENA! NO!" Momma continued to shout. That's when everything went black.
When I reopened my eyes again, I wasn't on Earth anymore let alone the battlefield. It was a bluish white limbo it seemed like to me. Why was I here? Did I die? If I did they have a true star seed! I can't let them win! Not now! I started crying, but then I heard I voice I haven't heard in months.
"It's not your time yet, Serena." I stopped crying when I heard the cheerful voice. It sounded like Grandpa Goku. In shimmering light he reappeared before me, in his adult form. All injuries from the battle of Omega completely gone. When I saw Grandpa Goku I hurriedly flew over to him, crying on to his shirt.
"Oh grandpa Goku! What should I do? They have my true Star Seed crystal it's all over!" I continued to cry. He made step back a little as looked to me.
"No it's not Sailor Moon, you will have the power to defeat them, you are related to me after all." He gave a slight laugh. After a minute or so something was starting to reform in his arms as well. When it was done it was Chibi-Chibi in his arms, completely fine. But how? She was hit by the same attack as me! Something about her was different though. She was dressed as a Sailor Soldier! But how? She was so small, not all that powerful it seemed like to me.
"How is this possible Grandpa Goku?" I asked, still shocked that they're here. Especially him. I never realized how much I missed him now that I'm seeing him again.
"You should know that anything is possible in this family Serena." He laughed as he let go of Chibi-Chibi as she started floating I couldn't help but feel a warm aurora around her. "I know you can do this Serena. I wouldn't have put you in charge if I didn't. Tell Gohan, Gabriella, Goten and Chi-Chi I love them, more than anything." He smiled as he disappeared in the same lights he had reappeared in
"I will Grandpa Goku, thank you." I said as I had finally grabbed a hold of Sailor Chibi-Chibi.
After I had gotten a hold of Chibi-Chibi, I was woken back as if a bolt of electricity went through me. Everyone was shocked when I back up, mainly Momma. She hugged me literally choking me to death as she was.
"Oh Serena! I thought I lost you for good that time!" she continued to cry.
"We were so worried!" daddy did the same after he made Momma get off of me. "Are you going to be okay Sailor Moon?" he asked as he helped me get up, while both grandmothers were watching my every move.
"Yeah I will be, I had some help." I looked from Momma then on to Chibi-Chibi who was in Grandma's Chi-Chi's arms. When I turned around Sailor Vegeta, Sailor Mars, and the Sailor Starlight's were the only ones standing. Sailor Vegeta had just did her attack.
"VEGETA COSMIC SWORD BLASTER!" her red and black waves were able to knock off Sailor Leaguer off its feet. "Now Sailor Moon! This thing is annoying." She said as put up her sword. I nodded as I summoned more powerful tier.
"SILVER MOON CRYSTAL POWER KISS!" I screamed as I aimed for Sailor Leaguer. Her star seed crystal was returned to her body as collapsed to the ground. Grandma Bulma and Chi-Chi went over to go help Sonoko. Uncle Gohan, Goten and Momma walked up next to me.
"Are you sure you okay?" Uncle Goten worried. "You were out for a while." He asked as de-transformed. I smiled as I told them, not wanting to wait on their reactions. Knowing they would be shocked.
"Yeah I will be, thanks to Grandpa Goku." I smirked.
"OUR FATHER?!" all three of them shouted at me. I only giggled as they continued to look shocked. Grandma Chi-Chi was watching Sonoko with Bulma but when she heard the mention of Grandpa Goku, she had dropped her and ran over to me, scaring me out of my mind.
"YOU TALKED TO GOKU?!" she shouted. I ignored her, being too happy to care.
"Yup he was the one that gave me the power up." I smiled as I looked up at the sky. The sky had cleared and now no clouds could be seen, rain completely gone. "He wanted me to all you guys he loves you and misses you." I told them. All of them started smiling as Momma walked over to me and hugged me. I welcomed it not really caring for the reason at the time.
When everything was back to normal, the softball game had resumed. The games was almost over having it be the ninth inning. The score being tied 4-4. Seiya was pitching, Sonoko was up to bat. No matter we couldn't get her to rest for the last of the game. Seiya threw the ball, Sonoko hits it, and towards my way I might add. The closer and closer it got to me, I grew more determined to catch it. I raised my gloved hand, jumped ever so slightly, and caught it! We won the game! Later on the day I was in where the battle took place, thinking everything over. He actually believe me that I could do anything. He was still the same caring guy he was when he was on Earth. I smiled as I looked up at the sky. It was still sunny and I welcomed it's warmth. I felt someone come up from behind me and it was my father.
"You coming home? I don't blame you if you don't want to fly all that way out there." He laughed.
"I'll be there soon Dad." I said, I couldn't help but look back up at the blue sky. The blue sky reminded me of the limbo I was in for that short amount of time. "You really saw Goku huh?" he asked me as he saw me do this.
"I did, he gave me the power to do it. But he said I always had it to begin with I just never believed I could." I gave a gentle smile.
"That's Goku for sure." He smiled. "I'm gonna go home, I'll see you then." He hugged me goodbye and then flew off. I turned around to look at the clear blue sky again. I was never going to forget what he did for me. It was out of nowhere, so unexpected. But I was glad I did. Thank you for your help Grandpa Goku. Hopefully I won't need it any time soon. Thank you again, now I know I can defeat any enemy if I put my mind to it. Thanks again, I love you.
