Love and War



Part IX- Silence


Selenity runs over to Goku and gives him a big hug. Goku
returns the hug and gives her a kiss. He breaks the kiss and gets his
bearings of who's where. He senses an energy blast coming toward him
and Selenity. He knocks her out of the way and the blast misses.
Selenity looks up at Goku and notices that Goku didn't even move and
thinks he got hit. She then sees a different pair of footprints then
realizes that he did move. Goku looks to the direction of which the
blast came and sees Saffir laughing at him. Goku floats up and looks
Saffir in the face.
"Oh Goku! I thought I'd neverr see you again!"
"I know Selenity. We can talk later. I have a lot of
questions."
"Okay."
"Now lets see, Malichite is, he's almost dead! The big
guy is up there and Darien and Serenity are
over there. Watch it!"
"Goku?"
"You okay Selen?"
"Yeah but that blast it should've- *Another set of
footprints, how'd he move so fast?*
"You shot that blast?"
"Well, that was a touching scene but, it bothered me."
"So you think that's funny huh?"
"Yes I do, catch!"
Saffir throws an energy ball at Goku that he simply knocks away with
his hand. He simply stares at Saffir, smiles and tells him if that is
all he can do to go home. Selenity, who is looking on turns to Darien
and asks him if he knows how Goku did that. Saffir, who is also
amazed, demends that Goku give him his name. He then attacks Goku with
a series of blasts which Goku dodges easially.
"If thats all you have, you're not even worth he time."
"Darien, how did he knock that out of the way like
that?"
"I don't know Selenity."
"Will he be okay?"
"I hope so, Serenity. I hope so."
"How dare you! A pathetic human threaten me. The
Negamoon will crush you! What's you're name!"
"My name's Goku, a Saiyan; from Earth."
Sailor Jupiter is fighting youma left and right. She's been able to
calm herself down and is now using her head as she attacks. She hasn't
been able to you her powers for a while and is fighting the youma hand
to hand. She is taking a few good hits to the head and is picked up
off the ground, Sailor Venus fires a crescent beam at the youma's back
and it drops Sailor Jupiter to the ground. Sailor Jupiter looks over
to where Sailor Venus is running toward her. She makes sure Sailor
Jupiter is okay and gives her a hand fighting.
"They keep coming, and I haven't gotten a chance to use
my powers in a while. They have to have some
kind of- Ah!"
"Venus, Crescent Beam, Smash!"
"Huh, oh Venus. Thanks."
"You okay Jupiter?"
"Yeah, its a good thing you got here when you did."
"Good, we gotta keep going."
Sailor Mercury is fighting trying to protect Malichite from any more
injuries. She's having a fairly hard time holding them off, taking a
few blasts to the ribs and head. She freezes the youma so she can
catch her breath. Sailor Mars attacks the youma that is frozen and one
that's about to finish off Malichite. She faces her right palm toward
the two monsters, then throws her hand in the air. When she does this,
two volcanic explosions errupt underneath the two youmas feet, burning
them to death. The two Souts fight along side each other for a while
until a youma gets behind them that they don't notice. It grabs both
their heads and hits them together, knocking the two scouts out.
"Shine Aqua Illusion! Now, I can catch my breath for a
second."
"Mars, Volcanic Eruption!"
"Whoa, thanks Mars."

Back where Darien and the others are, the fight between Goku
and Saffir is about to begin. The two are staring each other down
waiting for the other on to strike. Saffir finally attacks and Goku
doesn't move as the blast comes closer to him. It flies past his head
and doesn't phase him at all. Selenity on the other hand, is terrified
and practically faints.
*Hmm, his power level is only 8000. This should be a
piece of cake.*
"Hey, you gonna stand there or you gonna fight!?"
"HA!"
"GOKU!"
"Darien, is she okay?"
"Yeah Serenity."
Goku looks down at Selenity and tells Darien to tell her he'll be fine.
He looks back to Saffir and smirks at him as to insult him. He then
asks if its his turn to attack. Goku takes off toward Saffir but stops
half way because he senses something's gone. This gives Saffir an
oppitunity to attack Goku, which slams him to the ground. Selenity
runs over to Goku to see if he is okay. He assures her as he gets to
his feet that he'll be okay. He gives her a kiss and takes off after
Saffir. He knocks Saffir back 30 ft. and then begins firing numerous
energy basts at Saffir, which all hit. Goku disappears and reappears
behind Saffir and taps him on the shoulder. When Saffir turns around,
Goku punches Saffir in the face, knocking him to the ground.
"Hey, is it my turn to attack?"
"How dare you!"
"Lets go! *Huh, Malichite's gone.* Ah!"
"Goku, you okay?"
"I'm fine. Remember what I said about us Sayians,
we're real tough cookies to beat."
"Good."
"Now, take this!"
"Why you-" *Where is he? Where'd he go?*
"Looking for me?"
Saffir gets his bearings and looks around to try to find something he
can use to his advantage. He sees Selenity watching the fight and he
remembers when he knocked Goku to the ground what had happened. He
takes off to get her and Selenity is terrified. Goku starts chasing
after Saffir and relizes that he has to increase his speed or he won't
catch him. He uses an attack that he just learned to catch Saffir.
*Ugh, there has to be something I can use around here.
I just need to find it. Hmm, he seemed really
close to her down there so maybe that will
work.*
"Goku, help!"
"Huh, oh no. He's after Selenity!" *I gotta think of
something, I can't catch him.* Kaio Ken!"
Everyone looks at Goku after he catches Saffir and throws him aside.
Saffir, is holding his ribs as they feel like eveyone's been shattered.
Goku stands up and Darien asks him what he just did to Saffir. After
he explains, Goku quickly turns around to deflect a blast right back at
Saffir. He then takes off to continue the fight.
"G-Goku, how did you do that?"
"Do what?"
"That attack, I didn't even see you move."
"Oh that Serenity, thats called the Kaio-Ken attack."
"Kaio-Ken?"
"Yeah Darien, I don't know where I picked it up but, it
increases your speed, strength and power. I
can't use it often because it uses a lot of my
energy. My body can even overload with energy
and explode."
"Whoa."
Jedite is fighting by himself over on the west end of the palace
grounds. Even though he's a bit beat up, he's holding up okay against
all the youmas. There are hundreds of dead ones there along with dead
soliders all around him. One of the youma manages to get behind him
and starts choking him. It picks him up and throws him toward the
palace, and through the wall and into the training room. He lands on
his back and looks up just as the wall he went through collapses.
"Jeez, look at all this, and they keep on coming. Ugh!
Man that hurt, ah!"
Queen Serenity is in the palace looking out the window at everything.
She's very depressed as she sees all the fighting, dead bodies of
soldiers and youma alike. sailor Jupiter comes running inside the
palace carrying Sailor Venus on her shoulder and screaming for help.
On the way to Mina's room, Sailor Jupiter explains what happened. She
tells her that her and Sailor Venus had been fighting side by side and
Sailor Venus had been attacked from behind and when she fell, she had
hit her head on the ground hard. She had also taken an attack to save
Sailor Jupiter and no doubt a few of her ribs were broken.
"I wish we could all stop this fighting. Everyone's
getting beat up all the time and it seems that
that's all they do lately. If I knew what
Beryl wanted I'm sure I could-"
"Help! Somebody help me!"
"What's wrong Jupiter?"
"Oh, Queen Serenity. We, we need doctors in Mina's room
fast."
"Okay Jupiter, I'll get some doctors in her room right
away. You go give everyone else a hand."

"Yes."

Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars finally come to from
being knocked out. Sailor Mars shakes her head and Sailor Mercury
rubs her eyes to help her vision. They look around and Sailor Mars
asks Sailor Mercury if she's okay and Sailor Mercury asks if she knows
what happened. Sailor Mars looks around then comes up with what she
thinks might have happened. The two of them get to their feet and look
around and see all the dead bodies around them. They decide to go and
try to find Serenity.
"Ugh, what happened?"
"Wow, my head is killing me. Amy, you okay?"
"I think so, what happened?"
"Hmm, my guess is that we were hit from behind and
knocked out. I don't know where everyone else
is."
"Maybe we should go find Serenity."
"Good idea, come on."
The two Scouts start running around looking for Serenity. They look
around and see all the damage thats been done. They run by Sailor
Jupiter who is still fighting two youma. Sailor Mercury uses one of
her newer attacks and kills the two youmas. Sailor Jupiter turns
around and is relieved to see Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury are okay.
Two daggers appear on both sides of Sailor Mercury's waist. She takes
two in her right hand and two in her left hand and throws them at both
youma, hitting them between the eyes, killing them. Sailor Mars and
Sailor Jupiter look at Sailor Mercury in surprise and Sailor Mars
comments on her aim. The three of them take off to find Serenity.
"Look, there's Jupiter!"
"Yeah, Mercury Ice Daggers Strike!"
"What, oh it's you guys. Glad you're okay."
"Same. Where's Venus?"
"She got hurt Mercury, she'll be okay."
"We're going to find Serenity, come on."
"Whoa Mercury, taking lesons from Darien?"
"A little but, its mainly part of the attack."
The fight between Goku and Saffir is getting pretty intense and
everyone is now watching. Selenity is in awe of the shots that Goku is
taking and he continues to fight. The two of them are in very bad
shape and most of thier clothing is ripped in certain places. Goku's
orange shirt is torn completly off while Saffir's left sleeve to his
jacket is gone. They have multiple bruises and cuts on their face and
hands.
*Hmm, I don't get it, his power level isn't going down
and yet, he's in worse shape than me.* "Take
this Sayian!"
"Ah!"
Goku falls to the ground hard, hurting his back. He looks up to see
Saffir looking down on him, laughing. Saffir extends his hand, ready
to blast Goku again when he begins slowly getting to his feet.
However, he is hit in the back by Saffir's blast and falls, face first
back to the ground. Selenity starts screaming and Darien grabs a hold
of her wrist before she can run over to him. He pulls her over to him
and hold her around the waist and tries to calm her down. Goku slowly
gets to hits feet and faces Saffir. He floats up the Saffir's level
and is in extreme pain.
*I think my back's broken but, it can't be. Besides, I
have to keep fighting. This guy will destroy
this entire kingdom if I don't and I can't let
that happen. I can't lose Selenity again.*
"Ah!"
"Goku! Goku! I gotta help him, I can't lose him
again!"
"Selenity, no."
"Darien unhand me!"
"No Selenity. This is a promise I made to Goku before
he died and I don't go back on my promises."
"Besides Selenity, you'd only get in his way."
"Sis is right Selenity. Goku will win, don't worry."
Saffir looks at Goku and notices how beat up he is and smiles. He
notices that Goku's power level is a little less than it was before and
goes to blast him again. Goku is barely able to fire a counterattack
to block it. Goku looks up at Saffir, grittting his teeth, he yells at
Saffir then attacks him. The attack knocks Safir back 20 feet and Goku
floats back to the ground.
"The fight's been fun. I'll take good care of your
girl friend for you, don't worry, ha!"
"Like hell!"
"So, you do have some more fight in you."
"Kaa- mee-.."
"What's he doing?"
"Haa- mee- HA!"
Everyone on the ground starts cheering except Darien. He knows that
Saffir's not done yet and is waiting to see what Goku's going to do
next. Goku raises both his arms up into the sky and closes his eyes so
he can concentrate. While he's doing so, Saffir fires four energy
blasts at Goku, which are all blocked by one of Darien's roses. Goku
continues to stand there concentrating, confusing everyone else.
*I hope this works. It's all I have left.*
"Darien, do you have any clue what he's doing?"
"None at all Mercury. I wish I did though."
*I ask for power from the stars, the planets, the Moon
and the sun. From the rivers, the oceans, the
seas and the air.. The mountains, the
flowers, the animals and the trees. And all
that is living, lend me your fighting spirit.*
"What's he doing. I can finish him for good now,
heya!"
Finally Goku opens his eyes and closes this fist. He looks up at
Saffir, barely able to stand. With all of his energy, he throws the
attack at Saffir scoring a direct hit. Saffir slams into the ground
and Goku drags himself over to Saffir and looks down on him. He takes
him by the throat and after saying something, slams im back down. He
disappears and Goku collapses on his back.
"What, his power level is three times what it was!
How?"
"Now, take this! SPIRIT BOMB!!!"
"Huh, AH!!!"
"Now you listen to me, and you listen good. I want you
to deliver a message to Queen Beryl for me.
You tell her that if these attacks don't stop,
I will personally take on her entire army and
kill everyone of them, including her! Now,
call these things off, and go home."
"Yeah."
Sailor Mercury and Selenity run over to where Goku is laying. Sailor
Mercury bends down and does a scan of Goku with her computer and
visor. She smiles just as Selenity is about to ask a question. Sailor
Mercury goes inside to get some doctors and the others help all the
wounded back inside. Selenity kneels down next to Goku. and takes his
hand. They quietly talk to each other and Selenity gives him a smile,
which he returns with one of his own. Mina and Raye, who are now in
civilian clothes are out looking for Malichite and Jedite. They come
over to Goku and ask him and he tells Raye that Jedite is alive while
he can't sense Malichite anywhere.
"Mercury, is he-"
"No Selenity, he's fine. He's just in really bad
shape. I'll go get some doctors for them to
look at him."
"See Selenity, told you he'd be fine."
"Come on Scouts, lets try to get all the wounded inside
so they can get some medical attention."
"Good idea Mina."
"Oh Goku, I'm so glad you're okay."
"Selenity I told you I'd be okay."
"Oh, I-"
"Don't touch me. I have absolutly no energy left.
That last attack took a lot out of me."
"I love you."
"I love you too Selenity."
"Goku, do you know where Jedite and Malichite are?"
"Ugh, Jedite is under a pile of rocks from the palace
walls and, I, can't sense Malichite's energy
anywhere."
"So he may be-"
"I don't know Mina. Go try and find him."

Two weeks have passed and Goku has finally recovered from his
injuries. Everything seems to have quieted down a bit and the four
girls are in Raye's room talking. Mina had found out that day that
Malichite was taken by a nearby soilder that saw the whole thing.
She's pretty shaken up about it and her friends try to calm her down.
"I still can't believe he's gone Lita. He told me he
wouldn't leave me."
"They must have beaten him to within an inch of his
life and dragged him into the portal. You
know that he wouldn't go quietly."
"Amy's right. I'm sure he put up a good fight."
"That just leaves Jedite."
"We'll all keep an eye on him Raye, don't worry."
Both Selenity and Serenity are standing outside talking about how
the plans for her (Serenity's) wedding sre coming. About 15 minutes
later, Goku comes outside looking for Selenity. He goes over to the
two princesses and asks Serenity if he could talk to Selenity in
private.
"So, how are the wedding plans coming along?"
"Pretty good. Of course that's when me and Darien have
time to sit down and work on them."
"Well, at least the attacks have calmed down so, you
should get more done."
"Good afternoon you two."
"Oh hi Goku."
"So they finally let you out honey. It's about time."
"No kidding. Ah Serenity, can I talk to Selenity in
private."
"Of course."
After Serenity leaves, Selenity turns around to face Goku and asks him
what he wants to talk about. He smiles at her, takes both her hands
and stares into her eyes. He gives her a deep kiss which almost causes
her to knees to collapse. When they break the kiss, he makes her a
promise that he will never leave her again which leads up to him asking
if she would mrry him. Selenity stands there with a smile on her face
and a feeling of awe in her. Her eyes brighten and she feels so happy.
Goku reaches behind his neck and unfastens his medalion he has had
since he was a baby and gives it to Selenity. Its a small red medalion
with a bunch of writing on it only Goku understands.
"What did you want to talk to me about Goku?"
"Well, I know we've been away from each other for a
long time and I could feel the pain inside you
inside me."
"Go on, I'm listening."
"So, I'm going to make you a promise, no matter what
happens to me, I will never leave you again. I
love you too much to see you hurt the way you
were."
"Oh Goku."
"Basically , what I'm saying is, Princess Selenity, of
the Moon Kingdom; will you marry me."
"Oh Goku! I never thought you'd ask. Of course I'll marry you!"
"Here."
"You can't give me your medalion."
"Take it. Please."
"Its beautiful, whats that writing on it?"
"Its sayian. It says 'We are one'."
"Oh Goku."
Goku bends down and kisses Selenity deeply. Selenity returns the kiss
by pressing hard against his lips thus releasing all the passion she
has for him. Goku picks her up and carries her into her room.


The next day, Darien wakes up and heads toward the dining room.
On his way, he stops to see if Goku's awake yet. He knocks on the door
four or five times then decides that no one must be in the room. Tracy
walks by and Darien asks where Goku is to which she replies that he
went out running and did not say when he would be back. Darien, finds
this odd knowing that Goku usually eats before he trains.
"Morning already? Goku, Goku you awake buddy?"
"He's not in there Darien?"
"Oh Tracy. Do you know where he is then?"
"Yeah he got up two hours ago. He exercised for 20
minutes then went running. He didn't say when
he'd be back."
"Hmm, that's weird. Goku usually eats breakfast before
he trains. I wonder what's up."
Everyone is at breakfast and Queen Serenity asks where Goku is. Just
as Darien is about to answer her, Goku runs in. They all look at
him and he apoligizes for being late. He sits down next down to
Selenity and smiles at her. They take each other's hand as they begin
eating. Lita notices that Selenity is in a very good mood and asks
her how things are going. Selenity replies to Lita's question then
smiles at Goku. Everyone finishes eating and Darien catches up with
Serenity later that day. They ask each other if the other knows whats
going on with Goku and Selenity. The two of them start talking, but
can't think of any reasons why Goku and Selenity are acting strange.
Darien tells her that he'll try to talk to Goku while she'll try
talking to Selenity.
"Does anyone know where Goku is?"
"I'm sorry Queen Serenity-"
"Sorry I'm late everyone. I went jogging and lost
track of time."
"How are things Selenity? You seem to be in a very
good mood today."
"Well Lita, I'm just really happy that Goku's okay and
is completly healthy."
"I can understand that. Anyway, what's everyone doing
today?
"I'm going to the library."
"I'm going to check on Jedite, see how he is."
"I'll find something."
"Well, I'm done."
"Hey Serenity, can you come here a minute."
"Do you have any ideas what could be up with those
two?"
"Not a clue. It's like Selenity's energy has doubled."
"Well, maybe it is because Goku is feeling better."
"I think its more than that Darien."
"Why don't you talk to selenity and I'll talk to Goku?"
"Okay."

A few months have passed and amazingly. the attacks have
stopped. Everyone is in amazement especially Darien and Goku. The two
of them are talking when Jedite comes up from behind and asks if they
know where Raye is. Goku says that he last saw her in the training
room, Jedite thanks him and leaves.
"Boy, I wonder why all the attacks stopped?"
"Maybe Beryl took your threat seriously."
"Well she should, I was serious."
"Haha, do you know what's up with Selenity. Ever since
you came back she's been bouncing around like
mad."
*Of course I know why!* "Sorry Darien, no idea."
"Hi guys, either of you know where Raye is?"
"I saw her training 15 minutes ago."
Serenity is walking through the palace garden and picks a few roses for
Darien. Her sister walks up behind her and says hi and says she has to
tell her something. Serenity turns around and comments that it looks
like Selenity's put on a little weight.
"Ah, I think Darien will like these. He likes white
roses as much as me."
"Hey Seren?"
"Oh Selen, I've been meaning to ask you a question."
"Ah Seren, listen to me first. I know I've been acting
a bit strange lately and...I have to talk to you."
"Okay, let's go to my room and we can talk there.

I know, cliffhanger but oh well. Hope you liked it. Only 2 more parts
to go!
