Dear Readers,
I've had some questions about if this REALY was a crossover
with SM because everyone only sees Usagi...and then they keep
saying that she's only the Saiyan Princess, not really Sailor
Moon...all I can say now is TRUST me...there IS a plot to this
thing, and it WILL lead to Sailor Moon....Just...TRUST me!! I'm
the writer! I think I know where my fan fic is going...okay?
smiles at ya Now! Let's see....some of you hate me now
because I made Trunks a baka. Well...he IS a baka sniffles...
But he IS hot and dreamy and wonderful and....pauses..blushes
Oops...I said that outloud didn't I? blushes in embarrassment...
then sighs dreamily....I just love him and Gohan and Vegeta and
Goku and...blushes again..Oops...I did it AGAIN! pouts...I
guess I'll shut up now before I start to babble on about how
much I love Trunks and Gohan and Vegeta and Goku and 17....
voice fades away as she continues to list anime-hunks she's in
love with...
Love you all,
~~Psyche~~
PS: On with the fic!! (...and Jace and Mamoru and Saffir and...)

Chapter 13
~~~~

"Tell me again, *why* are we doing this?" A female voice
grumbled, slowly entering the dreamlike state Usagi was in...
"I don't know...it was *his* idea...he's the one protecting her..."
A male voice said angrily.
"But...WHY?" The first replied.
"Usagi..." A new monotone voice said softly to her. "Wake up
Usagi...I know you are awake....I sensed your power level
rise slightly."
Slowly, Usagi opened to her eyes. Only to find herself staring
straight at Android 16. Her blue eyes widened in shock for a
moment, but only for a moment. Her cold exterior came back
suddenly, and she narrowed her eyes slightly. Glancing to her
right, she wasn't surprised to find Androids 17 and 18 in the
front of the van they were in. 17 was driving.
"Why am I here?" She whispered with anger.
"Don't ask us!" Android 18 glared at her. "16's the one that
brought you here..."
She turned to the gentle giant, eyes still flaming with anger.
"Why?"
"Because I couldn't let you die. No one that loves life should
die." He said in his monotone voice....and her eyes softened.
This Android...was different. It was obvious that he loved all
living creatures. But...he had been programed to kill Goku. And
that was her concern at the moment. She also knew that at the
moment, she was no match for even Android 18. Her hair was
back to it's blonde color and her eyes blue...meaning: she
was no longer a Super Saiyan.
She looked over to the driver...Android 17. He had cuts and
scratches all over him...meaning the attack had hurt him as well...
And if she had hurt him then...if she turned Super Saiyan, he
would be no match for her....She smirked to herself. When a
Saiyans are injured, they always become stronger than before
...and that's what she had done. She was stronger now...but
still....Android 17 would still be hard to beat. Especially if
Trunks interfered like before. Her brother didn't understand
that he had been in the way, and would only get himself killed...
The four (Usagi and the three Androids...) sat quietly for a long
time (a couple of hours)....until Usagi finally broke the silence...
"So why do you want to kill Goku?" She whispered.
"It is what we were programmed to do." Android 18 said to her
in annoyance.
"What Dr. Gero programmed you to do?" Usagi said quietly.
"You killed him...and you are still letting him rule over you?"
18's eyes narrowed slightly, a confused look appearing on her
face for a moment..."I...I don't know."
~~~~
Trunks sighed softly...His sister had betrayed him. She had attacked
him. And he still didn't understand. He couldn't feel her power level
anymore...it was obvious that the two attacks had killed her...and maybe
Android 17 as well. He hoped so. He didn't want to fight...but he had
to fight....It had NEVER been his choice...never. He had been born into
it...but Usagi hadn't.
Gohan was right. Usagi had always been a fighter...deep within...Was
the love she held ever really there? And what about Gohan? Was the
love she had felt-no *shown* for their half-Saiyan friend been just a...a...
*infatuation*? Had any of it been real?
He didn't know anymore. He didn't know Usagi anymore...but it was
too late for the truth now. The need to fight had killed her....killed
her....and it had been the same Android that had killed Gohan...Would
they ever be able to stop them? He didn't know....
~~~~
Vegeta frowned. His daughter was NOT dead. He would not believe
it until he saw her body destroyed. He would never believe that she
was dead. So many times they had been fooled by the Saiyan
Princess and her "tricks". She was so powerful...and had so many
tricks up her sleeve that it was unreal...And he'd be damned if he fell
for another one...
But what he couldn't understand...was why she had attacked Trunks?
She had spoken of only love for her brother, and had said that she
would never hurt him...But she had attacked him.
Vegeta knew it was his own fault. He had trained Usagi...he had let
her learn everything he had to teach. She had been more than willing
to train. More than willing to do all that and more. She would have
given everything up for the battle...including her brother...?
He closed his eyes....it was his fault...that the girl who had risked her
life to save his...was now a heartless fighter.
He had no one to blame but himself.
~~~~
Cell smirked to himself...
He drained the life out of every creature he passed by. But his goal
was not the petty humans...no...he had only three goals.
The first was the Androids. 17. 18. Absorbing the Androids would
complete his transformation to perfection....He couldn't wait for the
power...the perfection...
His second goal was Goku. Killing Goku is what he had been created
to do...and he couldn't wait for that day to arrive...
But it was his third goal that was going to be the hardest to accomplish.
Usagi. The hybrid brat of Vegeta. The Princess of the Saiyans. He
could taste her power within him already. He felt her cells within him.
And it was a perfection he needed. He needed to drain her life as
well. Dr. Gero had never planned on this girl ever existing....but it was
all he had needed....Dr. Gero had never planned on adding her to the
perfection that was Cell. But Cell knew that this girl would not only be
an obstacle, but a step to his perfection....
He laughed to himself. At the screaming humans. They had no clue that
they too were becoming part of the perfection. He smirked.
Just wait 17...18...Goku...Usagi...I'm coming for you. And you will all
join me in perfection! He thought, continueing to create his path of
death...devistation...and power...
~~~~
It was amazing how that one question had caused them to start a
conversation. But now Android 18 and Usagi were in a deep discussion.
They were quickly becoming friends...and Usagi was quickly coming to
realize that she had been wrong about this Android. Android 18 was so
different from the Android in the future...and if 18 was so different,
then 17 could be as well.
"So...why do you hate us so much...?" 18's voice startled her out of her
thoughts.
The half-Saiyan Princess looked at her in surprise. "I...I..." She sighed
and looked down sadly. "I am from the future. In my time, you...17 and
18...killed everyone. My father...Krillin...Piccolo...EVERYONE...but Gohan,
Trunks, and myself. But...the two of you were very cruel, heartless
creatures. You enjoyed torturing us. You toyed with us...and I was no
match for you. I was only 16. I hadn't turned into a Super Saiyan. I
was too weak. But Trunks and Gohan were stronger. So they made me
promise not to fight...Android 17, the one in my time, killed Gohan...and I
could only stand there and watch. That is what caused me to turn into a
Super Saiyan. So I killed you both...Trunks and I both went back in time."
Usagi was staring off into space as she spoke..."I came back to seek
revenge for his death...for my father...for all of the Zfighters..." A small
smile appeared on her face...."....But...you are so different from your
future selves. I can't hurt either of you anymore. You are lifeforms now
...not just heartless Androids." She looked over at 17, who still held an
emotionless look on his face. His concentration was entirely on the road...
her smile disappeared. It would take awhile for him to trust her...not like
16 and 18 did...but she would wait.
But...she knew that her death would come soon, as would theirs. They
were no match for the power that was slowly heading their way...This
power confused her. It had the power to kill them all...But...what was
strange was that the power held that of the Zfighters. From the one
power, she felt Goku...her father...Krillin..Tien...Piccolo...ChowSu...
Yamcha...Freiza...and what scared her most was that it even held some
of her own. But she couldn't feel Trunks or Gohan within it. And she
knew...that when this enemy came, it would be one or both of those two
half-Saiyans that would destroy it.
"What are you thinking about, girl?" Android 17's voice startled her
out of her thoughts. She looked at him in surprise.
"There is a power coming this way." She whispered. "It is...almost a
perfect power, you could say. It has the power to kill us...all of us..."
17's eyes narrowed. "Impossible...I am the perfect power. The perfect
Android."
She stared at him, raising an eyebrow. "No you aren't, 17. This power
is stronger than both of us. And it *will* kill us."
He glared at her, turning back to the task ahead. Goku's house. They
were almost there (with all the interuptions over)...and he wasn't going
to let this half-Saiyan *girl* tell him that there was someone stronger
than he was. But somewhere in his mind he put this information away
for later. What if she was right?...
~~~~
So beautiful...WHY does she have to be the enemy... Images flashed
through Krillin's mind. And he knew he was in love with Android 18.
What had he gotten himself into? He didn't really know...but he had a
job to do. He had to find that CREATURE that had come out of Trunk's
time machine. Soon, he felt it...the power...just like Usagi's. His eyes
widened, and he flew towards it...hoping that it was real. Hoping that
she wasn't dead like they thought...
~~~~
Vegeta, Trunks, Piccolo, and the others all felt it. Usagi's power. And
knew they had to go to it. The Saiyan Princess was a key player in this
battle against the Androids...they needed her. But Trunks had another
thing on his mind. He had to find out why she had attacked him...why...
He needed to know if she had turned into a heartless fighter...
~~~~
Her eyes were hard and angry. Her arms were spread wide protectively.
Behind her stood a shocked Android 17 and 18. In front of her was
a laughing Cell.
"You will not have them, Cell..." She whispered harshly.
"Usagi...what...why?" Android 17 whispered in shock. (AN: Gomen,
ppl, but I love Android 17, but he's a little bit...um...arrogant so I had
to make him nice! k? smiles innocently...now on w/ the fic!!)
"Do you really think you can stop me...girl?" Cell smirked.
"I won't let you absorb them, Cell. We may be no match for you, but
I promise you now, you will be destroyed! My father is strong enough...
My brother is...Goku is...and Gohan. They Saiyans will destroy you!!"
Usagi whispered.
Cell smirked again. "Who said I was after them, Usagi?" He laughed
to himself.
"You did Cell. You said they were a step to perfection-" Usagi was
interupted when Cell was suddenly in front of her, throwing her high
into the air...then suddenly appearing there to catch her, arm around
her throat.
"The Androids are just one step...there are many steps to perfection,
Usagi. I can have them any time. They are weak...but you...you could
rise against me. You could destroy me, Usagi. You are already
perfection. You are capable of so much, yet you have no clue about
this power you possess." He smirked. "You will become part of my
perfection, Usagi. I can already feel your cells within me, Usagi...
Just think, with you in me, I will be unstoppable."
Her eyes widened, but she couldn't move. "No..."
"Come on, Usagi...it won't be so bad. You'll soon have the Androids
as company."
She closed her eyes. So...this is how it ends. I am useless against him...
and soon I will be part of his...*perfection* She could feel the tip
of the needle on her chest, ready to pierce her...
"Stop!!" Android 18 cried out desperately, but it was useless. Usagi
felt tears in her eyes...
I guess I'm not strong enough to be called you daughter, Vegeta...
father...I'm sorry....maybe Trunks will be what I can't...
And she waited for the attack...it never came. She opened her eyes
to find herself being thrown out of the attacks way...
Cell smirked, if he couldn't have Usagi just yet, then the little Android
would do...
Usagi stared in shock at Android 17, who had thrown himself in her
place. Just before Cell absorbed him, he yelled out. "Save Earth,
Usagi! Destroy Cell-"
"17!!!!" Both her and 18 yelled in shock.
Usagi's eyes narrowed...but it was too late. Cell was transforming
right before their eyes...(AN: I didn't get to see how Android 17 was
absorbed by Cell in the series, so I have to make it up as I got...
grumbles about VCR not working....lol...back to the fic...lol...oh...and
Tien doesn't show up, shrugs..gomen Tien fans...lol...) "Cell...you...
will pay for this!!" She yelled angrily. "YOU WILL PAY!!"
Cell only smirked at her..."I think not, little Usagi...."
Usagi growled angrily..."I think you and 16 should leave, 18...NOW!!"
She hissed at the Android...18 stared at her for a moment, before
taking off as well...
"I don't care about that little Android, Usagi...it is you I am after
right now."
"You can't have me or 18, Cell! You were lucky to get 17!!"
Cell frowned. "I would have had you had he not interfered, little
Princess...." Cell smirked. "But there is no one here to interfer now,
is there, Usagi? No...I didn't think so. Prepare to join perfection,
Usagi..."
She glared at him, powering up to her full power...no longer hiding
it...what was the point. She would be dead soon anyways. "Let's
get this over with Cell!!" She yelled and attacked him.
~~~~
Vegeta and Trunks sat silently in the hyperbolic time chamber...
they were both exhausted...6 months that had been training...and
6 more months to go. So far, they had said very little. And there
was a tension between them...
Trunks was getting really tired of it. For 6 months his thoughts
had been consumed with Usagi...why had she betrayed him...why?
He could still remember what had happened when he had thought
Cell was Usagi (the power was like hers, and he thought it was her
until he SAW Cell...sweatdrops)...Cell had beaten them easily...
None of them had stood a chance...not him, Vegeta...Krillin...not the
new and improved Piccolo who had merged with Kami. He had
been so hopeful...
Trunks had thought he'd get the answers he wanted...needed...but
it was just another disappointment...He sighed again..."Father..?"
He asked bravely, scared of what his father might say or do...
"What is it, boy?" Vegeta growled.
"Do you love Usagi?"
Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"Do you love her...? Like a father is supposed to love his children...?"
Trunks continued as he stared at ahead of him, away from his
father.
"Yes..." Vegeta confessed. "I do..."
Trunks sighed. "So did I...I loved her, she was my sister..."
"*Is*...Usagi *is* you sister, boy...she's not dead..." Vegeta smirked.
"She's too stubborn to die...She'll be back. She'll be back when you
least expect it. She is a true Saiyan Princess..."
Trunks cringed slightly. Yes, he loved Usagi, but he didn't *couldn't*
understand how his sister had earned Vegeta's respect...trust...love...so...
EASILY! He wouldn't admit it, not even to himself...but he was a little
jealous of her...before he could stop himself, he whispered..."Why?"
"Why *what*, brat?" Vegeta's eyes narrowed.
"Why do you love her?" (...more than me...) He wanted to ask, but
didn't.
Vegeta stared at him, but Trunks refused to his gaze...And Vegeta
couldn't answer...He couldn't, wouldn't admit that she had found
a place in his heart...
When she had gone with him to Namek...When she had thrown
herself selflessly into Freiza's attack...When she had confessed
her deepest feelings and fears during their training. When they
had fought the Androids...
So he remained silent...as Trunks whispered his own confession...
Vegeta barely managed to hear it...
"I only wanted your respect...Usagi recieved so much more...but...
that's all I ever really needed, father...that's all I've ever asked
for...maybe I don't really deserve to be called your son...or a
Saiyan..."
And Vegeta continued to stare at his son...And for a moment, just
before Trunks sighed, stood up and sped off to train some more...
Trunks reminded him of Usagi...
~~~~
It hit him like a ton of bricks...it was like being choked and unable
to stop it...and from the looks of Vegeta, his father felt it too...as
did the rest of the Zfighters..."USAGI!!!" Trunks screamed the
second he stepped out of the Time Chamber. "NO!!!" Before he
could speed off towards the power levels...one Cell's and one
Usagi's...Goku grabbed his arm.
"Rest first. She's okay for now. You'll be of no help if you don't
rest..." Goku whispered...but Vegeta took off.
Trunks muttered a few choice words, and followed....
~~~~
Usagi dodged yet another attack...kicking Cell in the stomache. She
was no match for him...not with her training...not with her half-Saiyan
heritage....and he was toying with her, enjoying her "weak" attacks...
it amused him that someone so "perfect" as her was losing against him...
She glared at him. "Come on, Cell...what are you waiting for...FIGHT
me!!" She hissed angrily.
"If you say so..." Cell smirked and punched Usagi hard, sending her
flying into the water below.
Usagi gasped in shock, barely taking in enough air before she hit the
water....and she lowered her ki...It was ingenius. Why hadn't she
thought of it earlier? She closed her eyes for a brief moment, then
took off towards the island she had seen 16 and 18 land at...Cell would
most likely be looking for her and 18. He still had to reach perfection...
~~~~

Gomen about it being so late! blushes in embarrassment...but the
holiday season has been SO hectic, that I haven't had time to post

She stared at him, raising an eyebrow. "No you aren't, 17. This power
is stronger than both of us. And it *will* kill us."
He glared at her, turning back to the task ahead. Goku's house. They
were almost there (with all the interuptions over)...and he wasn't going
to let this half-Saiyan *girl* tell him that there was someone stronger
than he was. But somewhere in his mind he put this information away
for later. What if she was right?...
~~~~
So beautiful...WHY does she have to be the enemy... Images flashed
through Krillin's mind. And he knew he was in love with Android 18.
What had he gotten himself into? He didn't really know...but he had a
job to do. He had to find that CREATURE that had come out of Trunk's
time machine. Soon, he felt it...the power...just like Usagi's. His eyes
widened, and he flew towards it...hoping that it was real. Hoping that
she wasn't dead like they thought...
~~~~
Vegeta, Trunks, Piccolo, and the others all felt it. Usagi's power. And
knew they had to go to it. The Saiyan Princess was a key player in this
battle against the Androids...they needed her. But Trunks had another
thing on his mind. He had to find out why she had attacked him...why...
He needed to know if she had turned into a heartless fighter...
~~~~
Her eyes were hard and angry. Her arms were spread wide protectively.
Behind her stood a shocked Android 17 and 18. In front of her was
a laughing Cell.
"You will not have them, Cell..." She whispered harshly.
"Usagi...what...why?" Android 17 whispered in shock. (AN: Gomen,
ppl, but I love Android 17, but he's a little bit...um...arrogant so I had
to make him nice! k? smiles innocently...now on w/ the fic!!)
"Do you really think you can stop me...girl?" Cell smirked.
"I won't let you absorb them, Cell. We may be no match for you, but
I promise you now, you will be destroyed! My father is strong enough...
My brother is...Goku is...and Gohan. They Saiyans will destroy you!!"
Usagi whispered.
Cell smirked again. "Who said I was after them, Usagi?" He laughed
to himself.
"You did Cell. You said they were a step to perfection-" Usagi was
interupted when Cell was suddenly in front of her, throwing her high
into the air...then suddenly appearing there to catch her, arm around
her throat.
"The Androids are just one step...there are many steps to perfection,
Usagi. I can have them any time. They are weak...but you...you could
rise against me. You could destroy me, Usagi. You are already
perfection. You are capable of so much, yet you have no clue about
this power you possess." He smirked. "You will become part of my
perfection, Usagi. I can already feel your cells within me, Usagi...
Just think, with you in me, I will be unstoppable."
Her eyes widened, but she couldn't move. "No..."
"Come on, Usagi...it won't be so bad. You'll soon have the Androids
as company."
She closed her eyes. So...this is how it ends. I am useless against him...
and soon I will be part of his...*perfection* She could feel the tip
of the needle on her chest, ready to pierce her...
"Stop!!" Android 18 cried out desperately, but it was useless. Usagi
felt tears in her eyes...
I guess I'm not strong enough to be called you daughter, Vegeta...
father...I'm sorry....maybe Trunks will be what I can't...
And she waited for the attack...it never came. She opened her eyes
to find herself being thrown out of the attacks way...
Cell smirked, if he couldn't have Usagi just yet, then the little Android
would do...
Usagi stared in shock at Android 17, who had thrown himself in her
place. Just before Cell absorbed him, he yelled out. "Save Earth,
Usagi! Destroy Cell-"
"17!!!!" Both her and 18 yelled in shock.
Usagi's eyes narrowed...but it was too late. Cell was transforming
right before their eyes...(AN: I didn't get to see how Android 17 was
absorbed by Cell in the series, so I have to make it up as I got...
grumbles about VCR not working....lol...back to the fic...lol...oh...and
Tien doesn't show up, shrugs..gomen Tien fans...lol...) "Cell...you...
will pay for this!!" She yelled angrily. "YOU WILL PAY!!"
Cell only smirked at her..."I think not, little Usagi...."
Usagi growled angrily..."I think you and 16 should leave, 18...NOW!!"
She hissed at the Android...18 stared at her for a moment, before
taking off as well...
"I don't care about that little Android, Usagi...it is you I am after
right now."
"You can't have me or 18, Cell! You were lucky to get 17!!"
Cell frowned. "I would have had you had he not interfered, little
Princess...." Cell smirked. "But there is no one here to interfer now,
is there, Usagi? No...I didn't think so. Prepare to join perfection,
Usagi..."
She glared at him, powering up to her full power...no longer hiding
it...what was the point. She would be dead soon anyways. "Let's
get this over with Cell!!" She yelled and attacked him.
~~~~
Vegeta and Trunks sat silently in the hyperbolic time chamber...
they were both exhausted...6 months that had been training...and
6 more months to go. So far, they had said very little. And there
was a tension between them...
Trunks was getting really tired of it. For 6 months his thoughts
had been consumed with Usagi...why had she betrayed him...why?
He could still remember what had happened when he had thought
Cell was Usagi (the power was like hers, and he thought it was her
until he SAW Cell...sweatdrops)...Cell had beaten them easily...
None of them had stood a chance...not him, Vegeta...Krillin...not the
new and improved Piccolo who had merged with Kami. He had
been so hopeful...
Trunks had thought he'd get the answers he wanted...needed...but
it was just another disappointment...He sighed again..."Father..?"
He asked bravely, scared of what his father might say or do...
"What is it, boy?" Vegeta growled.
"Do you love Usagi?"
Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"Do you love her...? Like a father is supposed to love his children...?"
Trunks continued as he stared at ahead of him, away from his
father.
"Yes..." Vegeta confessed. "I do..."
Trunks sighed. "So did I...I loved her, she was my sister..."
"*Is*...Usagi *is* you sister, boy...she's not dead..." Vegeta smirked.
"She's too stubborn to die...She'll be back. She'll be back when you
least expect it. She is a true Saiyan Princess..."
Trunks cringed slightly. Yes, he loved Usagi, but he didn't *couldn't*
understand how his sister had earned Vegeta's respect...trust...love...so...
EASILY! He wouldn't admit it, not even to himself...but he was a little
jealous of her...before he could stop himself, he whispered..."Why?"
"Why *what*, brat?" Vegeta's eyes narrowed.
"Why do you love her?" (...more than me...) He wanted to ask, but
didn't.
Vegeta stared at him, but Trunks refused to his gaze...And Vegeta
couldn't answer...He couldn't, wouldn't admit that she had found
a place in his heart...
When she had gone with him to Namek...When she had thrown
herself selflessly into Freiza's attack...When she had confessed
her deepest feelings and fears during their training. When they
had fought the Androids...
So he remained silent...as Trunks whispered his own confession...
Vegeta barely managed to hear it...
"I only wanted your respect...Usagi recieved so much more...but...
that's all I ever really needed, father...that's all I've ever asked
for...maybe I don't really deserve to be called your son...or a
Saiyan..."
And Vegeta continued to stare at his son...And for a moment, just
before Trunks sighed, stood up and sped off to train some more...
Trunks reminded him of Usagi...
~~~~
It hit him like a ton of bricks...it was like being choked and unable
to stop it...and from the looks of Vegeta, his father felt it too...as
did the rest of the Zfighters..."USAGI!!!" Trunks screamed the
second he stepped out of the Time Chamber. "NO!!!" Before he
could speed off towards the power levels...one Cell's and one
Usagi's...Goku grabbed his arm.
"Rest first. She's okay for now. You'll be of no help if you don't
rest..." Goku whispered...but Vegeta took off.
Trunks muttered a few choice words, and followed....
~~~~
Usagi dodged yet another attack...kicking Cell in the stomache. She
was no match for him...not with her training...not with her half-Saiyan
heritage....and he was toying with her, enjoying her "weak" attacks...
it amused him that someone so "perfect" as her was losing against him...
She glared at him. "Come on, Cell...what are you waiting for...FIGHT
me!!" She hissed angrily.
"If you say so..." Cell smirked and punched Usagi hard, sending her
flying into the water below.
Usagi gasped in shock, barely taking in enough air before she hit the
water....and she lowered her ki...It was ingenius. Why hadn't she
thought of it earlier? She closed her eyes for a brief moment, then
took off towards the island she had seen 16 and 18 land at...Cell would
most likely be looking for her and 18. He still had to reach perfection...
