How did Nail know who Usagi was?

seems to know more than he lets one...so...shrugs....I just felt
that it would be fun to make Usagi a little confused...shrugs......
after all, she did that to everyone else, she deserved a little
taste of her own medicine...

a poor description a couple of chapters back...so here we go!
Eyes: Blue
Super Saiyan Eyes: Silver
Hair: Blonde, out of the odango and down to her midthigh, not VERY
thick...like Usagi's hair in Sailor Moon!!

Clothes: She NOW wears cloths like Gohan's/Piccolo's...k? However

Chapter 11
~~~~
~~~~
The three half-saiyans sat quietly in the small kitchen. Trunks and Usagi
were 15 years old...Gohan was 21......Trunks sat silently staring at a punch
of pictures...they were of the past Zfighters...Gohan was reading his book,
and Usagi....sat with her eyes closed, thinking about (you guessed it) her
father. The Prince of Saiyans. She had never met him...she wanted that
more than anything....
"Usagi...what are you thinking about...?" Gohan's voice interupted her
thoughts.
"Vegeta..." She whispered.
"Oh." He whispered, thinking back...Vegeta had been foolish. The Saiyan
Prince had been a genius, but it had been his arrogance that had killed
him...and Usagi was so much like Vegeta it sometimes scared him. Usagi
had a hidden power, like Gohan knew he himself had...deep within. But
until Usagi set that power free, she would continue to be too weak to
defeat the Androids...Slowly, she was showing this power. But she was so
focused on being just like Vegeta, that he was afraid she would follow in
her fathers footsteps.
"What was it like to have a father, Gohan..." She whispered to him,
suddenly.
Gohan blinked, surprised...."I...I...I don't know how to explain it, Usagi...
But...he was always there for me...He taught me to be who I am today...if
it weren't for my father and Mr. Piccolo...I wouldn't be the fighter I am
today...."
"I wish I could fight...like you, Gohan..."
He looked at her sadly. "It's not what it seems, Usagi...fighting isn't just
winning. It involves many battles, and there is no garrantee that you will
win. If anything, the Androids have shown us that..."
Usagi stared into space for a moment. "What was my father like, Gohan?"
She whispered.
"Arrogant. He refused to believe that something or someone was stronger
than him. And it killed him..." He whispered..."Usagi...Please! You have to
understand. No matter *how* powerful you are, never get overconfident!
It will kill you every time...it killed Vegeta...and if you let it, it will kill you
as well..."
She stared down at her hands for a moment...nodding slowly. Gohan wasn't
satisfied. Did she really understand what he was saying!?! Did she really
believe him? She, unlike Trunks and himself, had a need to fight...just like
Vegeta and Goku. She had a need to learn the battle...He frowned, taking
her chin in his hand and forcing her to look at him...
Her eyes widened slightly, he was so close. He stared straight into her
eyes...seeing the power within her..."Usagi...do you understand me! *Never*
loose the love you have within you! Never become cold-hearted...Never
give up on those around you! If you do, then you would be no better than
the Androids..."
Trunks looked up slowly to the side, letting Gohan's words sink in...He was
sure that Usagi would never loose the light...never loose the innocence she
had obtained, even in the midst of all the death and pain their world had...
But why would Gohan be saying this if he wasn't afraid that she might....
~~~~
Android 17 and Android 18 stepped out of the cages that had previously
held them. Dr. Gero was an idiot..thinking he could control them, and they
knew it. If he thought that one small hand held control could stop them
from what they were planning, then he wasn't much of a scientist...
Before Dr. Gero knew it, they had turned against him, and the control was
destroyed...
"Well..well...well....what do we have here? Another Android?" Android 17
smirked as he and 18 walked over to the 'cage' holding Android 16.
"Don't touch him!!" Gero yelled...but was interupted when a blast opened
the door to the lab, only to reveal two Saiyan...Vegeta and Usagi. Both
glowed with an inner energy. Their eyes were cold, though Usagi's
revealed a burning hate...a need for revenge...
She looked straight at Android 17 (he's the one that killed Gohan, k? sniffles
Gohan...I MISS GOHAN!! sobs.......sighs dreamily......blushes....um...on with
the fic...lol) and their eyes connected. He didn't like what he saw there...he
saw a perfect fighter. He saw a person who had total control and knew it...
(Okay..the look Gohan had in his eyes when he faught Cell...however...she's not
as strong as Gohan was....shrugs...she just has total control over her power...)
This type of control was to be feared...it left no room for arrogance, no room
for mistakes.
She stared at him, letting him see that she hated him...that she would kill
him...
Android 18 glanced at her companion. "17? Hey...wake up...we have stuff
we need to do..."
17 glared at the Usagi, turning back to the task at hand...Dr. Gero. And
Android 16...
"STOP!" Gero yelled....by this time, the other Zfighters had arrived to watch
watch was happening..."You mustn't activate Android 16!!"
The next thing Gero knew, was 17 was attacking him...The last thing he ever
knew was that they had killed him...
Usagi's eyes flashed slightly for a moment. "They are stronger than before...
Much stronger..." She whispered to her father...
"Just like we expected them to be..."
Suddenly, a gasp came from behind him...
"They're here." Usagi whispered, referring to the Zfighters behind them...
"Are...are they the Androids..." Krillin's voice said with a slight shake of
fear within it."
"Yes. They are! We have to destroy them!! Before they get away..." Trunks
suddenly said, powering up to attack.
"You will do no such thing..." Usagi whispered. "Leave the Androids to us,
Trunks..."
"What!?! Usagi, have you lost your mind...they will kill you!"
"Maybe. They are too strong for you, Trunks..." She said coldly to her, not
once glancing back in his direction.
"We have to destroy them NOW!" Trunks said, transforming into the Super
Saiyan he was, and attacking the Androids...When he was done, the entire
lab was flat...rubble.
"Stupid boy..." Vegeta whispered...
"Oh, that was just *terrific* Trunks...You managed to destroy the lab, but
you forgot to hit the target you were aiming for." Usagi said sarcastically,
looking out towards the dust surrounding the lab...When it cleared, Androids
17 and 18 were standing there, holding Android 16. "Now they know how
powerful you are...they don't even consider you a threat anymore..."
"But...But..."
"But *what*!?!" Usagi whispered angrily. Trunks stared at his sister in shock,
as did the rest of the Zfighters. Piccolo's eyes narrowed...this couldn't be the
same girl he had talked to on Namek...it couldn't be...but it was...
Androids 17 and 18 stared at the group for a moment, then turned back to the
task at hand, setting Android 16 free. They opened the 'cage' that held him...
"Hello." 17 said.
Android 16 didn't respond, just stood where he was, silent.
"Didn't you hear us! We said hello!" 17 said in annoyance.
"..."
Android 18 looked at 16 curiously. "He's obviously the big, silent type...so...
where do you want to go next?"
"Did you say Goku?" Android 16's voice startled them, and they turned to
find him staring at them.
"He was programmed to kill Goku..." Android 17 whispered. "So 16, do you
want to go find Goku?"
Android 18 smirked. "That might be fun..." She whispered. 16 didn't reply.
They lifted off the gorund, taking off...Usagi and Vegeta didn't waste any
time going after them. The last thing they heard before they left was
Trunk's sad voice whispering..."Usagi, you're going to get us all killed."
~~~~
"We have company..." Android 18 said in annoyance, glancing back at the
two Saiyans that were flying closer and closer to them. Before too long,
the two had caught up with the Androids, flying until they came to a stop
in front of 17 and 18.
"Who are you?" 17 asked, staring at the silver girl.
"Usagi...Princess of the Saiyans..." She whispered coldly. "Vegeta's
daughter." With every word, she let her power grow. Her hair rose
around her...the rocks lifted off the ground, swirling around her in a
beautiful dance. Her eyes continued to stare at him, coldy...angrily...
hate burning within her....
~~During Usagi and Vege's training~~
Usagi awoke with a gasp...the dream...it has been so real. "Damn." She
whispered as she remembered where and when she was....It had been real.
"I'm going to make those Androids pay for what they have done..." She
whispered harshly to herself.
"Good...Let the hate and anger build you, Usagi...let it strengthen your
resolve...let it increase your power and speed." Vegeta's voice said softly.
She looked over to find him sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall.
He was staring out the winder at the stars that drifted by. "But don't let
it consume you, daughter. Revenge can be a deadly thing...If it takes
control of you, it could kill you long before the Androids do. If you let it
take over...you *will* die, Usagi."
"But...I don't know if I can face them...not like this..." She closed her eyes
in shame, looking away from him.
"What did the Androids do, Usagi...? What makes you hate them so much..."
She held back tears..."They...they...They killed Gohan!! They killed him!
Right in front of me! Without mercy! And I had been unable to stop them!!
I had been too weak!!" She felt a tear run down her cheek.
Vegeta watched her silently...."Are you really mad at the Androids, Usagi...
Or are you mad at yourself...for not saving him?"
"I...I don't know anymore. I really don't know!" She couldn't stop the tears...
and they fell freely. Vegeta was there in a second, holding her. Rocking her
gently as only a father could do. Comforting her.
"Usagi...shh...it's okay...let it all go now..." He whispered. "Let it all go...don't
keep it bundled inside...it could kill you....more than any other emotion...this
one can kill you. Love is a dangerous thing, Usagi, and makes people do things
that they would never have done before. If the Androids found out you had
this weakness, then they would use it to the fullest....don't let them, Usagi...
Don't let them learn of your love...keep it hidden, then after it's all over...you
can let it come through. Let it all go now, before it kills you, Usagi..."
~~~~
Usagi had taken her fathers words to heart. During her training, she became
more ruthless. She set her goal, and that was to become a perfect fighter...
no emotions to stand in her way. She would kill the Androids in a fight...she
had finally realized that THEY were the cause of Gohan's death. Not her...
THEY were the ones....Android 17. He was the one she would destroy. And
finally have complete revenge for Gohan's death....Android 17 was unable to
tear his gaze away from hers...He narrowed his eyes...and attacked....
Meanwhile, Vegeta stared at Android 18 with a smirk. He too, powered up...
But it was obvious that he wasn't as strong as his daughter...and Android 18
smirked right back at him...then flew forward...attacking him...
