Chapter 15

~~~~
~~~~

"WHAT!!!!" Vegeta yelled, shocked. He turned quickly, to find Usagi
glaring at Trunks. "Is it true?" He whispered.

"Yes. It is, father...but that is my own business..." She said angrily,
still glaring at Trunks..."And it was mine to tell..."

"You would never have told him, Usagi...you're too...prideful..." He
replied.

"STOP!" Gohan's voice whispered. "Stop doing this!!"

They all gasped and turned towards the young Saiyan...

His eyes narrowed at them..."Come on, Usagi. You can stay at our house
for a while...mom and dad already said it was alright."

Usagi's eyes softened at this. "That's alright, Gohan...I'll come over in
a while...there are some things I need to do first..." She smiled at him.

Gohan looked at her curiously. "Alright, Usagi..." He whispered and
flew off.

Usagi sighed, and began to walk away from the group.

"And where do you think you're going!!" Vegeta growled at her.

"Like I said, there are some things I need to do..." She whispered, not
turning around...and suddenly, she blasted off. Away from them all...

~~~~

It was amazing how they all broke apart. Trunks, Vegeta, and Usagi...
they seemed to hate each other...acting almost childish. Their pride
had taken over, and refused to let go. Each had doubts about the
other...and refused to voice them...and refused to try and fix them...

Trunks and Vegeta each went seperate ways after the fight between
the three of them...Trunks went to Bulma's...and Vegeta went to train
some more.

Usagi...Usagi sped towards her goal...he was probably the only one
that could help her at this point...

Cell glanced to his right to find the Saiyan Princess standing there,
silver hair flowing around her...silver eyes blazing. She was practically
glowing with the power. Power he wanted.

"I want to talk to you, Cell." She whispered.

He raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And what about..." He smirked at
her.

"The tournament."

"Let me guess...you want to go first?"

"No."

He raised both eyebrows this time. "Oh, really? Then what?"

"I'd like to make a deal with you, Cell..."

"A deal?"

She smirked. "Yes...a deal...And I think you'll find it quite
pleasing..."

~~~~

"Usagi!" Goku smiled at her as he opened the door. "You arrived
just in time...ChiChi just finished fixing supper. Gohan told her
you were coming, so she fixed twice as much..." He grinned his
trademark grin.

She couldn't help but smiled back at him...though it never did
reach her eyes.

"Come on...let's eat!" He said, rushing the to kitchen.

She followed, though not as quickly...

"USAGI!!" Gohan yelled happily, hugging her...and she laughed.

"Hey, kid." She grinned. "Told you I'd come..."

He smiled at her. Usagi...you're still hurting...what have you done...
I know something is wrong. More than earlier... He thought...but
for now, she was safe...and she looked happier.

...later that night...

Usagi lay, staring at the stars.

"Usagi...don't you think you should talk to Trunks and Vegeta...?"

She sighed as Gohan spoke...."Yes, Gohan...I should...but I can't...
They would never listen. Vegeta and Trunks have just as much
pride as I do...and they have a hate for the Androids. Trunks
especially hates Android 17...he would never listen to me...or truly
understand what I'm thinking...feeling...So I can't."

"Please, Usagi....what if Cell kills one of us...then...do you really
want it to end with all this anger between you...."

"No...I don't...but like I said before...they would never understand."
She closed her eyes. She was so tired. And there were only 6 days
left before the tournament...Before her deal with Cell became final...
and it all ended.

~~~~

Cell's eyes drifted across the fighters...

There was 16...strong...and calm. His blank eyes not telling a thing...
But Cell knew...Cell knew that 16 was planning...

Tien and Yamcha...weak....not a threat...

Krillin. Stared at him in fear. A coward...but not. A paradox. But
still...not a threat...Human...

Piccolo. A threat, small, but still a threat...The Namek was staring at
him...coldly...his mind constantly thinking...moving...Yes. A threat.

Trunks. Super Saiyan. The boy would be a threat......yes...a threat...
but not big enough to worry about at the moment...

Vegeta. Arrogant. A threat. He was powerful, but his arrogance
would get the better of him...and he would be easy to dispose of...

Gohan...Strong. Very strong. But too young. He would be a threat,
only if he fought...and he wouldn't fight unless he had too...

Goku....a threat. Possibly one of the greatest...but also his goal...
Killing Goku would be a thrill...

Usagi....Now Usagi was what he was concerned about. She was an
enigma. This deal they had made...he knew Usagi, and she never
backed down from a fight...or from a promise. He didn't know how
he got so lucky...

"So...who is going to fight me first...?"

Goku stepped onto the platform, glancing at Vegeta...then Usagi..."Is
it alright with you if I go first...?"

Vegeta just stared....Usagi smiled sadly and nodded...

And the battle began...and for a while, neither were winning...but it
was obvious that it was just a warm up. Soon...the real fighting began.
Goku was giving it all he had, but it wasn't enough...and he was no
match for Cell...

Finally..."I give up, Cell..." Goku's voice rang out. Usagi smirked. Trust
Goku to surprise them all like that..."And I promised Usagi she could
fight you next..." He said.

Cell nodded.

Usagi smiled sadly...and nodded, flying out onto the battlefield. Goku
landed nest to his song, Piccolo, and Krillin.

Usagi smirked and let her poewr level rise considerably...her silver hair
fanned out around her like a cape...she nodded, just as Cell did...And
the two flew towards each other with speed only Gohan could follow...
Blocking, dodging, punching, kicking...

Suddenly, both stopped, hand together...trying to push the other one
back...energy sizzling around them...(AN: like that? sizzling? lol...um..
sweatdrops..um...nevermind...lol)

"Don't forget our little deal, Cell..." Usagi whispered.

"Of course not." Cell smirked...and they flew apart creating ki blasts
and attacking each other...

Deal? Piccolo thought...frowning. His Namek ears allowed him to
hear many t hings...including what the fighters said to each other...

"Am I challenging you enough, Cell? Are you having *fun* yet?" She
smirked. "I promised you I would..."

He grinned. "Let's make this interesting!" He whispered, created
another ki blast...stronger than those he had used before...She attacked
with her own ki blast...and the two fought for power...until both attacks
disappeared as if they had never been there....

The two fighters were no where to be seen. Until they looked over...
far from the Zfighters....Cell and Usagi stood facing each other...

Usagi looked over towards her father and brother..."I'm sorry..." She
mouthed...then looked at Gohan..."Goodbye..."

And Celled put his palm right over her heart...and it began to pulse with
light...Usagi began to glow...pulsing in time with his hand...(AN: As we all
know...Cell never did absorb someone in his "perfect" form...so I have to
make it up as I go...ya like? lol ja!)...Usagi closed her eyes, a small smile
on her face...I'm going to join you Android 17...No more pain...

"USAGI!!" Gohan yelled. "NO!! We have to stop them!! She's letting him
absorb her!!!"

"Some *deal*..." Piccolo grumbled.

Gohan began to power up...but he wasn't strong enough...was he? Not to
beat Cell...

"USAGI!!!" Trunk's and Vegeta's voices rang out..echoing....

Usagi let the power Cell possessed run through her...she could feel his
power melding with her own...and she smiled. Her eyes snapped open, and
she smirked at Cell. "Goodbye, Cell...never hurt another soul again..." She
whispered....and suddenly, a light came from her forhead...a crescent moon
appeared on it...and it bathed them both in it's light..."By the way...the deal's
off..."

~~Flashback~~

"I'd like to make a deal with you, Cell..."

"A deal?"

Usagi smirked. "Yes...a deal...And I think you'll find it quite
pleasing..."

"I doubt that..."

"It's quite simple really...you want to have a good fight...and I know how
you can get one...but on one condition....I want you to absorb me..."

Cell looked at her skeptically. "You what?"

"You heard me right...I want you to absorb me...And you can have that
perfect power you want...and I assure you, when you fight Gohan, it'll
be worth not fighting me..." She smiled sadly.

"The boy? He's weak..."

"You doubt me...Gohan is stronger than you can imagine..."

Cell stared at her. "You are going to just let me absorb you...without a
fight? Where's the *fun* in that...?"

"If you want a fight, I'll give you one Cell...just as long as you absorb me
when it's over..."

"What do you get out of this little deal? Why do you want me to absorb
you?"

"Peace, Cell. All I really want is peace..."

Cell stared straight into her eyes. "Then it's a deal..."

~~End Flashback~~

"It's over Cell....it's time you died..." She pulled all her power together...past...
present...and future...Her body merged with Cell's...absorbing his energy...like
he had first intended to absorb her...and....Two figures appeared on either
side of them...unconscious. Usagi smiled to herself. "Goodbye...my...friends..."
And she fell to the ground...dead...

Laying on either side of her...were the Androids. 17 and 18...

~~~~

"NO!!!!!!!!!!!" Gohan yelled! "Usagi! How COULD you!!!" He said, tears running
down his cheeks. She had done it on purpose. She had planned it. And she had
known that she was going to die!!!!!!!

"Usagi?" Trunk's soft, almost fearful voice whispered as he fell to his knees
beside his sister.....He turned her towards him...and gasped.

There, embedded on her forehead, was the crescent moon...

"The White Moon Princess..." Vegeta whispered.

"What!?!" They all gasped.

"L-legend says...that...the White Moon Princess lived...a long time..ago....." He
closed his eyes. "She was betrothed a Prince of the Saiyans...they married...
but a..force came to the planet, and tried to destroy the Saiyans...she gave
her life protecting them..but..not before producing an heir. It was said that
a new Princess would appear, a decendent of the royal family...and...Usagi
was the Princess...She was the White Moon Princess!! Dammit Usagi! Why
do you have to be so noble! Why do you have to give your life...just like you
did all those years ago!!!"
