Dear Readers,
as if in a trance I will post the next chapter today.......I will
make it very long.........I will eat my toes........
grins...that's JUST for you Sailor Fovever! winks NEwayz!
Some people didn't get what happened last chapter...so here's a
quick explaination/Sumary of Chapter 15...
Trunks, Vegeta, and Usagi get angry at each other...Usagi goes
and makes a "deal" with Cell...she was SO grief-stricken that
she was going to let Cell absorb her...Gohan wanted Usagi to
talk to Trunks and Vegeta to make amends...but she can't...the
fight with Cell began...Goku faught first, and gave up (like in
DBZ) and Usagi faught next...the ENTIRE time they were just
toying with each other, not using their full power...then Usagi
let's Cell begin to absorb her...It was all part of her plan...the
crescent moon appeared on her forhead, revealing that she is
the **Legendary White Moon Princess** and using her power
to cause Cell's own plan backfire...As he began to absorb her,
she took all his own energy, and set Android 17 and 18 free...
She falls to the ground...dead...
I hope that helped you understand what happened...k? grins
Ja ne!

Chapter 16
~~~~
~~~~
Trunks stared in shock as his sister...fell....to the ground...dead....
~~Flashback~~
"No, Trunks! If you die, there will be no more hope for the future...Go! NOW!!!
Before I make you!" She yelled.
"I missed you so much, Trunks..." She cried. "I missed you so much..."
"Move Trunks." Usagi whispered. "We know what we're doing."
"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..
"Gomen ne...brother..."
"I have to keep you on your toes, Trunks...You know that..."
"I'm not the same person I was back then, Trunks...People change. *I*
change...............................Don't talk about him like that...Don't you DARE, Trunks!
You have no idea what's happening...or WHY!! You have no idea what I've gone
through, *brother*..................................You wouldn't understand! You've never been
in love! You've never had the two people you loved most TAKEN from you! DIE!!
Right there in front of you!!!.......................................You...You can't...You can't mean it,
Trunks..........................................Get out! Get away from me, Trunks! Don't even SPEAK
to me!"
"I'm sorry..."
~~End Flashback~~
Tears ran down his cheeks..."Usagi....NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
~~~~
Usagi felt the power consume her...fill her...take her...the crystal....and Cell...
Cell's power flowing into her...his memories...his goals..and they began to mix...
merge...She could hear Cell's voice in her mind...and her body...and it was too
much...she had been weakened freeing 17 and 18...And he was trying to take
control of her...she couldn't let him...
Her plan was backfiring! Cell was so powerful...You will not hurt anyone
ever again!! She screamed at him...and she used the last of her power...the
last of the crystal...to force him deep within her...She had to protect everyone...
and there was only one way she knew how...
~~~~
Bulma held her young daughter close...as she watched her older daughter give
up her life against Cell...Usagi...was dead...DEAD!!! She stare wide eyed...She
felt tears run down her cheek as she held little Usagi close...
Suddenly, Chibi-Usagi screamed...and Bulma was thrown away from her daughter...
Chibi-Usagi's hair and eyes were silver....the crescent moon appeared on her
forhead...and she began to glow silver and float off the floor...
"Usa...?"
Chibi-Usagi stared at her...."Mother...it's okay..." She whispered in a voice that
seemed to be so mature...yet...so innocent. "Everything will be okay...you'll see..."
And suddenly, she fell to the floor...her hair and eyes back to normal...
"Usagi!" Bulma whispered in fear...staring at her daughter...Chibi-Usagi hugged her
mom...Her eyes flashing silver for a second..."Everything will be okay..." She
murmered and fell asleep in her mothers arms....
~~~~
All this happened in a matter of moments....and the Zfighters had no clue about
this....however...in the mists...stood a tall woman with garnet eyes...staring sadly
at the image before her...
"This wasn't supposed to happen..." She whispered, waving the Time Key she
disappeared into a portal..."Princess....this was not supposed to happen to you..."
~~~~
Vegeta held the body of his daughter close...The White Moon Princess....she's
the White Moon Princess, and I never once noticed....the power she possessed...
and that blasted crystal...was it in her the entire time, it has to have been...that
is the only explaination for all that has happened... He thought as they all flew
to Kami's lookout...Krillin was carrying 18....16 was carrying 17... (AN: no one
wanted to help him but 16 and Gohan...remember? everyone hates him...sobs...
WE LOVE YOU 17!!!! hugs him..blushes..lol...um...on with the fic?)
They had one purpose....use the Dragon to bring back all those Cell had killed...
They wished...and watched silently...waiting for Usagi to come back...but...nothing
happened....
"What...why won't she come back!?" Gohan asked.
"Because, boy! She was not killed by Cell." Vegeta whispered. "It was a suicide
mission...meaning...she is the one to blame for her death. Cell had no part in it...she
killed him...and herself..." He slowly sat down his daughter...stroking her hair. And
it was that blasted crystal that did it...it helped her defeat Cell...but it killed her...
and it won't let the Dragon revive her. No matter how many times we wish..."
"But...um...what Crystal?" Trunks asked.
Vegeta glared at his son angrily. "The Silver Crystal. It is a powerful jewel
that only the White Moon Princess could use. But if she used it, it would kill
her...it isn't powered through physical energy...but life energy...Usagi's life
energy..." He closed his eyes...But the Princess was so powerful...that the
amount of energy needed to do that could not have killed her...so...what happened
to her...? He thought...
~~~~
One week later...
"Are you sure you are going to go, Trunks?" Bulma whispered...She didn't want
to loose both of them...not like this...
"I...I have to. My mother is most likely worried. I need to go...Gomen ne..." He
whispered.
Suddenly, Bulma hugged him...and whispered. "Everything will be okay...you'll
see..." She hugged him one last time, before letting him go to the time machine...
Trunks stared out over the area...at his mother...the Zfighters...his father...And
he knew that it was Usagi's face he was looking for...He sighed...and closed the
door to the time machine and closed his eyes...letting time take it's toll...letting it
take him back to where he truly belonged...the future...
~~~~
14 years later...
"Hey, Usagi!" She smiled and turned to see Gohan running to catch her...
"Yes, Gohan-Sensei?" She said...
"Vegeta...um...your father should be coming home from his training today...Bulma
asked me to remind you."
Usagi smiled...Her father...it had been two years since she had seen him...and
even then, she hadn't seen him often. They said that he got angry at everyone
because of something...and just...POOF! Left!
Her brother had told her that he had overheard their mother and Gohan talking
about it....something about "The Body" disappearing....She wasn't sure what they
meant, but it must have been important to have her entire family, the Son's, and
even Piccolo upset.
She had assumed it had something to do with that girl...the silver-haired girl that
had been at Kami's lookout, resting in the bed...almost as if in eternal sleep. No
one would let her go near it, and she was sure they thought she didn't know the
girl ever existed. But she knew different...and she felt a strange connection to
it...
Usagi sighed. She was letting her thoughts drift again. Glancing at her watch,
she realized that if she didn't hurry, she'd be late for school...Smiling slightly,
she sped up...she could make it on time...and even then, she could fly and get
there in a matter of seconds...but Gohan had told her not to do that. People still
weren't used to anyone being able to fly. So she didn't. For now, she would
have to run...at a little...um...abnormal rate of speed.
~~~~
Vegeta sighed, turning off the 500xE of the space ship he had taken from CC.
(AN: from now on...Capsole Corporation will be written CC...k? grins..good!
lol....) For two years now, he had trained, thinking...he had spent the time trying
to find a way to bring Usagi back...his daughter back...the Crystal was her
only hope now...but it was also the curse that stopped them from saving her...both
the cure and the curse...
He closed his eyes, leaning against the wall of the room. Nothing...I have searched
and I have found nothing...no one... He sighed again...he was now on his way back
home....to Earth....At least when she had been at Kami's lookout...locked up in a room
where time stood still...where she could never loose her youth....He could have
properly mourned her death. Every year for 12 years, he had come and spent time
with her...telling her what had happened...in hopes that one day the Crystal might
revive her....Now...she seemed to haunt him...
~~Flashback~~
Veget punched and kicked the air angrily, fight an imaginary partner...WHY!?!
WHY USAGI!! WHY DID YOU DIE!! You alone were a true warrior...You alone
had the patiential for greatness!! WHY!?!" His mind yelled...and then, suddenly,
it was *her* fighting him...HIS Usagi...HIS daughter...and he stopped everything...
and flashes of her battle with Cell came back to him...
He saw her fight....he saw her stare at him with her silver eyes...asking...begging
for forgiveness..."I'm sorry..."....and she died....LIKE THAT!! JUST LIKE THAT!!!
As if it was nothing at all!! There was no scream of pain from her...only her soft
menacing whispers to Cell as she took him with her into the next dimension...
~~End Flashback~~
She would forever haunt him...like then...like now...forever...
~~~~
"Hey little kitty..." Usagi whispered the next day...she reached down to pet the
black cat before her-
"Hey! Usa!! Hurry up, or we'll be late for school!!" Trunks yelled from ahead
of her, and she smiled.
"I"m coming!!" She began to follow...but before she left, she glanced back...
And Luna saw a flash of silver in her eyes..."Luna..." Usag whispered, before
her eyes turned blue again, and she took off after her brother...
Luna's eyes widened..."Princess Serentiy..." She whispered, chasing after the
girl...but Usagi was already gone..."I have to contact the Senshi..." She whispered,
rushing to the Hiwaki Shrine...(AN: could someone please tell me how to spell Rei's
Shrine, please? I don't wanna use the Cherry Blossom Shrine...ICK...thanx!!)
~~~~
Usagi rushed to see him...her father...how much had he changed? Would he tell
them why he left? Her eyes lit up...maybe...maybe he would train her now...now
that she was older...now that she was 16...
Yes, Gohan had trained her...taught her to be a fighter...even Goku, Piccolo, and
Android 17 had taken turns training her...she didn't quite understand why they
were all so interested in training her...but she didn't really care. It wasn't the
same. To be trained by her father would be a dream...
The door to the ship opened much too slow...Usagi watched anxiously as Vegeta
stepped out, not looking at any of them...He slowly made his way without a word...
until Goku suddenly took his arm, stopping him.
"Did you find what you were looking for...?"
Vegeta just shook his head, shrugged off the Saiyan, and went inside.
She stared...He didn't even look at them. A hand slowly touched her shoulder,
and she looked to find Gohan standing behind her. "Ignore it, Chibi-Usagi...
Vegeta has always been like that, and right now wouldn't be a good time to
talk to him..."
She looked back at where Vegeta had gone. "It...it had something to do with
that girl, didn't it?"
Gohan's eyes widened slightly. "What girl?" He whispered, increduliously.
"The one at Kami's Lookout..."
Gohan sighed. "Yes...it does...and I'm afraid there is nothing we can do to
help him with it..." Only *you* can help him, Chibi-Usagi...only you...but I
don't want you to turn into Usagi...she was so sad, and it was that sadness
that fueled her fighting...that and he love for Vegeta...You are just like
Usagi, Chibi-Usagi...just like her...but... He turned away, walking inside,
the same way Vegeta had gone....Even if he didn't want her to turn into
Usagi...she still wanted Vegeta to train her, and he'd be damned if he didn't
do anything to help her...
~~~~
"Vegeta..." A voice said angrily, slamming the door to Vegeta's room shut...
"What is it, brat?" Vegeta replied, easily recongnizing Gohan...
"You are going to listen to me, Vegeta...and you are going to listen good..."
He whispered, eyes narrowed and angry.
Vegeta just raised an eyebrow.
"Usagi may be dead...but you seem to have forgotten that you HAVE her...
right here....in that girl outside...Chibi-Usagi may not BE Usagi...but she is...
she wants nothing more than for YOU to train her. She loves you just as
much as Usagi did...and you are hurting her EVERY time you do this...ignore
her..."
Vegeta's eyes were cold. Not this again...when will that boy realize that
that girl could NEVER become Usagi...never replace her...
Gohan's eyes connected with his. "You also seem to forget, that Chibi-Usagi
is just as much the White Moon Princess as Usagi was...Usagi's only dream
was to go through life with a father....and you are taking it away from her,
even though you have the power to help her achieve this goal..." Gohan sighed,
"But you were always heartless, Vegeta...maybe you don't care...but for now,
I'm going to help her in every way I can..." He whispered, walking out of the
room.
~~~~
Usagi stood completely still....mist surrounded her...the voice taunted her...
"You can't fight me forever, Chibi-Usagi..." It hissed in her ear...like it did
every night...every time she slept. She stiffened in fear. "I will control you...
you will weaken someday, put your guard down..."
"Leave her alone..." Another voice whispered angrily...
"Oh...if it isn't the little bunny..." He smirked and the mists cleared a little to
reveal Cell...and a woman with long silver hair and a crescent moon on her
forhead. She glowed with a soft silver light...though her eyes blazed with it.
"You! You're the one from Kami's Lookout." The woman merely nodded. "What
are you doing in my dreams?"
"Quiet..." The woman whispered, slowly turning towards Cell. "You can not harm
her, Cell...you know that...as long as I am here, she can not be harmed by you..."
"Like you could really protect her, bunny?" He smirked.
"You can't escape, Cell." She glared, raising her arm slightly as if to remind him...
Usagi gasped softly at the sight. There, linking their arms together, was a long
string of energy...
"Did you forget about this?"
He frowned. "Of course not...but you know we will someday break free of each
other, and then we can continue where we began..."
She smirked, rushing through the short distance between them, punching him. He
collapsed to the ground, holding his stomach. Slowly, the woman turned towards
her. "I can only protect you so long...Cell and I are one now...merged...our energy
is one. Our minds may be separate, but we know everything about each other and
there is nothing we can really do to harm the other...We can never again be separated."
"Who are you?" Usagi whispered...
The woman smiled softly, sadly..."I'm you."
~~~~
Usagi gasped awake, opening her eyes to find herself in her bed...the covers were
tossed around, twisted around her. A dream...it was just a dream...but it was so
real... She sighed, standing up and changing into her training cloths. She had to
get her mind off things like this...The woman's energy...it was just like hers...and...
it was what she felt every time the flashes happened.
She could remember each flash vividly. They didn't happen very often, but when
they did, they seemed to leave her scared, confused, and completely baffled.
She would be doing whatever it was she was doing, and suddenly, something would
catch her eye...her attention...
The worst episode had been about a year ago. She had been training like normal...
and there he had been...Android 17. He was staring at her, watching her. And she
had locked eyes with him...
Suddenly, it was as if someone else was in control of her body....she couldn't stop
the words from forming on her lips...."Aishiteru...." The words had come out...17's
eyes had widened...
"Usako?" He had whispered in shock...
Suddenly, everything went back to normal...And it was too much...she had fainted...
Later she had learned that some of her energy had been drained for some reason...
Android 17 just stared at her, as if in recognition of something...of someone...but
there had been no mention of the incident later on....
Usagi sighed. Continuing to spar with her imaginary partner...and who was Cell?
She had never heard of him...maybe she could ask Gohan. He was always honest
about things like that...
~~~~
Cell and Usagi glared at each other, then the chain between them.
"It's your fault, you know..." Cell said angrily.
She just smirked. "Yeah...I know...But you know that there wasn't anything else
I could do...look on the bright side, you've fused with the 'perfect power' you
always wanted..."
He just narrowed his eyes...
~~~~
Setsuna knocked softly on the door of the mansion....after a moment, the door
opened to reveal Haruka.
"Setsuna? What a surprise...what are you doing here?"
"How has she been doing?"
"Not good...Princess Serenity still doesn't remember anything...and we can't get
that close, she always has someone with her. Or else we would have already
talked to her..." Michiru whispered...
"This isn't good...the evil is coming...and unless we do something....the world will
be doomed..." Setsuna whispered angrily. "We may have to awaken Saturn..."
The two Outer Senshi paled.
~~~~
Usagi needed answers to her questions...the dreams had been appearing since
she had been just a little child. But the last dream had been the most vivid. It
had held some of the answers...which only led to more questions.
"Gohan? Are you here?"
"He isn't here, brat...he went home..." A voice whispered.
"Why? He promised to spar with me today..." She asked, turning around...and
she gasped. "Father...What...what are you doing up so earlier..." She glanced
at the clock, it was not even 2 in the morning...and why had Gohan left...?
"I'm always up this time..."
"Oh." She whispered....Starting to leave the room.
"Stop."
She did as she was told. "Yes, Father?"
"Come here..." He whispered...and she turned around and stopped about five feet
from him.
Vegeta stared at her. She was exactly the same...same hair...same age...same eyes...
Her eyes had the same blaze...the same need for battle...and if he read her power
level right, she had the power...but he was sure that she had developed the same
technique as Usagi had.
"We're going to train...pack your things...we're leaving..."
~~~~
"Chibi-Usagi? Are you here?" Gohan whispered, knocking on her door....
No answer...
He slowly opened it, revealing her bed, not made....some of her cloths were thrown
around...he threw open her closet door...half her cloths were gone...including her
training cloths...
Gohan rushed out the door, dragging Trunks out of his bed as he rushed through
the house...
"What? What are you doing, Gohan...?" Trunks mumbled, still half-asleep.
"Usagi's missing..." Gohan slammed open Vegeta's door...."And so his Vegeta..." He
closed his eyes, punching the wall. "Damnit Vegeta...when I said train her, I didn't
mean TAKE her AWAY from here..."
~~~~
A lone figure stood on the outskirts of the wilderness....just above a old destroyed
laboratory. "VEGETA!!!!!" He yelled. "WHY DID YOU TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!" In anger,
Android 17 threw a blast of energy out at the sky.
Tears ran down the Android's cheeks..."Why did you have to take my only reminder
of the person I loved...When I was so close to finding out the truth..."
~~Flashback~~
Android 17 watched as Usagi...the young girl...sparred with an imaginary partner...
She was strong...and beautiful...just like his Usako...but was so different. She
didn't have the hidden pain...or the inner beauty. Yes, she had the love for life...
but it still wasn't the same...
Suddenly, she looked up, and their eyes locked. He gasped. Her eye suddenly
turned silver. "Aishiteru..." He heard her whisper...
"Usako?" He had asked...but...before he could do anything else, her eyes had
turned blue again, and she fainted.
~~End Flashback~~
He didn't know how or why...but she was his Usako...yet not. He didn't quite
understand it yet...but now that Vegeta had interfered, he might never find out...
~~~~
~~~~
GOMEN GOMEN NASAI!! I'm SO SO SO sorry...I promised last weekend...but it
didn't work out! I had to get off the computer...and every time I got back on, I had

meant, but it must have been important to have her entire family, the Son's, and
even Piccolo upset.
She had assumed it had something to do with that girl...the silver-haired girl that
had been at Kami's lookout, resting in the bed...almost as if in eternal sleep. No
one would let her go near it, and she was sure they thought she didn't know the
girl ever existed. But she knew different...and she felt a strange connection to
it...
Usagi sighed. She was letting her thoughts drift again. Glancing at her watch,
she realized that if she didn't hurry, she'd be late for school...Smiling slightly,
she sped up...she could make it on time...and even then, she could fly and get
there in a matter of seconds...but Gohan had told her not to do that. People still
weren't used to anyone being able to fly. So she didn't. For now, she would
have to run...at a little...um...abnormal rate of speed.

Vegeta sighed, turning off the 500xE of the space ship he had taken from CC.
(AN: from now on...Capsole Corporation will be written CC...k? grins..good!
lol....) For two years now, he had trained, thinking...he had spent the time trying
to find a way to bring Usagi back...his daughter back...the Crystal was her
only hope now...but it was also the curse that stopped them from saving her...both
the cure and the curse...
He closed his eyes, leaning against the wall of the room. Nothing...I have searched
and I have found nothing...no one... He sighed again...he was now on his way back
home....to Earth....At least when she had been at Kami's lookout...locked up in a room
where time stood still...where she could never loose her youth....He could have
properly mourned her death. Every year for 12 years, he had come and spent time
with her...telling her what had happened...in hopes that one day the Crystal might
revive her....Now...she seemed to haunt him...
~~Flashback~~
Veget punched and kicked the air angrily, fight an imaginary partner...WHY!?!
WHY USAGI!! WHY DID YOU DIE!! You alone were a true warrior...You alone
had the patiential for greatness!! WHY!?!" His mind yelled...and then, suddenly,
it was *her* fighting him...HIS Usagi...HIS daughter...and he stopped everything...
and flashes of her battle with Cell came back to him...
He saw her fight....he saw her stare at him with her silver eyes...asking...begging
for forgiveness..."I'm sorry..."....and she died....LIKE THAT!! JUST LIKE THAT!!!
As if it was nothing at all!! There was no scream of pain from her...only her soft
menacing whispers to Cell as she took him with her into the next dimension...
~~End Flashback~~
She would forever haunt him...like then...like now...forever...
~~~~
"Hey little kitty..." Usagi whispered the next day...she reached down to pet the
black cat before her-
"Hey! Usa!! Hurry up, or we'll be late for school!!" Trunks yelled from ahead
of her, and she smiled.
"I"m coming!!" She began to follow...but before she left, she glanced back...
And Luna saw a flash of silver in her eyes..."Luna..." Usag whispered, before
her eyes turned blue again, and she took off after her brother...
Luna's eyes widened..."Princess Serentiy..." She whispered, chasing after the
girl...but Usagi was already gone..."I have to contact the Senshi..." She whispered,
rushing to the Hiwaki Shrine...(AN: could someone please tell me how to spell Rei's
Shrine, please? I don't wanna use the Cherry Blossom Shrine...ICK...thanx!!)
~~~~
Usagi rushed to see him...her father...how much had he changed? Would he tell
them why he left? Her eyes lit up...maybe...maybe he would train her now...now
that she was older...now that she was 16...
Yes, Gohan had trained her...taught her to be a fighter...even Goku, Piccolo, and
Android 17 had taken turns training her...she didn't quite understand why they
were all so interested in training her...but she didn't really care. It wasn't the
same. To be trained by her father would be a dream...
The door to the ship opened much too slow...Usagi watched anxiously as Vegeta
stepped out, not looking at any of them...He slowly made his way without a word...
until Goku suddenly took his arm, stopping him.
"Did you find what you were looking for...?"
Vegeta just shook his head, shrugged off the Saiyan, and went inside.
She stared...He didn't even look at them. A hand slowly touched her shoulder,
and she looked to find Gohan standing behind her. "Ignore it, Chibi-Usagi...
Vegeta has always been like that, and right now wouldn't be a good time to
talk to him..."
She looked back at where Vegeta had gone. "It...it had something to do with
that girl, didn't it?"
Gohan's eyes widened slightly. "What girl?" He whispered, increduliously.
"The one at Kami's Lookout..."
Gohan sighed. "Yes...it does...and I'm afraid there is nothing we can do to
help him with it..." Only *you* can help him, Chibi-Usagi...only you...but I
don't want you to turn into Usagi...she was so sad, and it was that sadness
that fueled her fighting...that and he love for Vegeta...You are just like
Usagi, Chibi-Usagi...just like her...but... He turned away, walking inside,
the same way Vegeta had gone....Even if he didn't want her to turn into
Usagi...she still wanted Vegeta to train her, and he'd be damned if he didn't
do anything to help her...
~~~~
"Vegeta..." A voice said angrily, slamming the door to Vegeta's room shut...
"What is it, brat?" Vegeta replied, easily recongnizing Gohan...
"You are going to listen to me, Vegeta...and you are going to listen good..."
He whispered, eyes narrowed and angry.
Vegeta just raised an eyebrow.
"Usagi may be dead...but you seem to have forgotten that you HAVE her...
right here....in that girl outside...Chibi-Usagi may not BE Usagi...but she is...
she wants nothing more than for YOU to train her. She loves you just as
much as Usagi did...and you are hurting her EVERY time you do this...ignore
her..."
Vegeta's eyes were cold. Not this again...when will that boy realize that
that girl could NEVER become Usagi...never replace her...
Gohan's eyes connected with his. "You also seem to forget, that Chibi-Usagi
is just as much the White Moon Princess as Usagi was...Usagi's only dream
was to go through life with a father....and you are taking it away from her,
even though you have the power to help her achieve this goal..." Gohan sighed,
"But you were always heartless, Vegeta...maybe you don't care...but for now,
I'm going to help her in every way I can..." He whispered, walking out of the
room.
~~~~
Usagi stood completely still....mist surrounded her...the voice taunted her...
"You can't fight me forever, Chibi-Usagi..." It hissed in her ear...like it did
every night...every time she slept. She stiffened in fear. "I will control you...
you will weaken someday, put your guard down..."
"Leave her alone..." Another voice whispered angrily...
"Oh...if it isn't the little bunny..." He smirked and the mists cleared a little to
reveal Cell...and a woman with long silver hair and a crescent moon on her
forhead. She glowed with a soft silver light...though her eyes blazed with it.
"You! You're the one from Kami's Lookout." The woman merely nodded. "What
are you doing in my dreams?"
"Quiet..." The woman whispered, slowly turning towards Cell. "You can not harm
her, Cell...you know that...as long as I am here, she can not be harmed by you..."
"Like you could really protect her, bunny?" He smirked.
"You can't escape, Cell." She glared, raising her arm slightly as if to remind him...
Usagi gasped softly at the sight. There, linking their arms together, was a long
string of energy...
"Did you forget about this?"
He frowned. "Of course not...but you know we will someday break free of each
other, and then we can continue where we began..."
She smirked, rushing through the short distance between them, punching him. He
collapsed to the ground, holding his stomach. Slowly, the woman turned towards
her. "I can only protect you so long...Cell and I are one now...merged...our energy
is one. Our minds may be separate, but we know everything about each other and
there is nothing we can really do to harm the other...We can never again be separated."
"Who are you?" Usagi whispered...
The woman smiled softly, sadly..."I'm you."
~~~~
Usagi gasped awake, opening her eyes to find herself in her bed...the covers were
tossed around, twisted around her. A dream...it was just a dream...but it was so
real... She sighed, standing up and changing into her training cloths. She had to
get her mind off things like this...The woman's energy...it was just like hers...and...
it was what she felt every time the flashes happened.
She could remember each flash vividly. They didn't happen very often, but when
they did, they seemed to leave her scared, confused, and completely baffled.
She would be doing whatever it was she was doing, and suddenly, something would
catch her eye...her attention...
The worst episode had been about a year ago. She had been training like normal...
and there he had been...Android 17. He was staring at her, watching her. And she
had locked eyes with him...
Suddenly, it was as if someone else was in control of her body....she couldn't stop
the words from forming on her lips...."Aishiteru...." The words had come out...17's
eyes had widened...
"Usako?" He had whispered in shock...
Suddenly, everything went back to normal...And it was too much...she had fainted...
Later she had learned that some of her energy had been drained for some reason...
Android 17 just stared at her, as if in recognition of something...of someone...but
there had been no mention of the incident later on....
Usagi sighed. Continuing to spar with her imaginary partner...and who was Cell?
She had never heard of him...maybe she could ask Gohan. He was always honest
about things like that...
~~~~
Cell and Usagi glared at each other, then the chain between them.
"It's your fault, you know..." Cell said angrily.
She just smirked. "Yeah...I know...But you know that there wasn't anything else
I could do...look on the bright side, you've fused with the 'perfect power' you
always wanted..."
He just narrowed his eyes...
~~~~
Setsuna knocked softly on the door of the mansion....after a moment, the door
opened to reveal Haruka.
"Setsuna? What a surprise...what are you doing here?"
"How has she been doing?"
"Not good...Princess Serenity still doesn't remember anything...and we can't get
that close, she always has someone with her. Or else we would have already
talked to her..." Michiru whispered...
"This isn't good...the evil is coming...and unless we do something....the world will
be doomed..." Setsuna whispered angrily. "We may have to awaken Saturn..."
The two Outer Senshi paled.
~~~~
Usagi needed answers to her questions...the dreams had been appearing since
she had been just a little child. But the last dream had been the most vivid. It
had held some of the answers...which only led to more questions.
"Gohan? Are you here?"
"He isn't here, brat...he went home..." A voice whispered.
"Why? He promised to spar with me today..." She asked, turning around...and
she gasped. "Father...What...what are you doing up so earlier..." She glanced
at the clock, it was not even 2 in the morning...and why had Gohan left...?
"I'm always up this time..."
"Oh." She whispered....Starting to leave the room.
"Stop."
She did as she was told. "Yes, Father?"
"Come here..." He whispered...and she turned around and stopped about five feet
from him.
Vegeta stared at her. She was exactly the same...same hair...same age...same eyes...
Her eyes had the same blaze...the same need for battle...and if he read her power
level right, she had the power...but he was sure that she had developed the same
technique as Usagi had.
"We're going to train...pack your things...we're leaving..."
~~~~
"Chibi-Usagi? Are you here?" Gohan whispered, knocking on her door....
No answer...
He slowly opened it, revealing her bed, not made....some of her cloths were thrown
around...he threw open her closet door...half her cloths were gone...including her
training cloths...
Gohan rushed out the door, dragging Trunks out of his bed as he rushed through
the house...
"What? What are you doing, Gohan...?" Trunks mumbled, still half-asleep.
"Usagi's missing..." Gohan slammed open Vegeta's door...."And so his Vegeta..." He
closed his eyes, punching the wall. "Damnit Vegeta...when I said train her, I didn't
mean TAKE her AWAY from here..."
~~~~
A lone figure stood on the outskirts of the wilderness....just above a old destroyed
laboratory. "VEGETA!!!!!" He yelled. "WHY DID YOU TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!" In anger,
Android 17 threw a blast of energy out at the sky.
Tears ran down the Android's cheeks..."Why did you have to take my only reminder
of the person I loved...When I was so close to finding out the truth..."
~~Flashback~~
Android 17 watched as Usagi...the young girl...sparred with an imaginary partner...
She was strong...and beautiful...just like his Usako...but was so different. She
didn't have the hidden pain...or the inner beauty. Yes, she had the love for life...
but it still wasn't the same...
Suddenly, she looked up, and their eyes locked. He gasped. Her eye suddenly
turned silver. "Aishiteru..." He heard her whisper...
"Usako?" He had asked...but...before he could do anything else, her eyes had
turned blue again, and she fainted.
~~End Flashback~~
He didn't know how or why...but she was his Usako...yet not. He didn't quite
understand it yet...but now that Vegeta had interfered, he might never find out...
