Chapter 21
~~~~
~~~~
Metalia was furious. Her green eyes stared deep into the silver ones of the Moon
Princess. Her plans were falling apart, and it was all this girl's fault. She stared
for a moment, before the two attacked. She blocked the attacks, using all her
power to fight back. Two Crystals...fused with their owners. Powerful indeed.
It was a hopeless battle, Metalia knew this, yet her anger towards the Princess
was strong. And her hate fueled her even more...
She was becoming desperate. This Princess had taken everything from her.....
And she would make sure Usagi payed...and there was only one thing she could
think of to defeat her...
~~~~
Usagi and Chibi-Usagi were furious as well. They attacked with an angry power
that Usagi could only remember using a few times before...on the Androids...on
Cell...And Metalia fought back, and was losing.
Two against one wasn't very fair...
Usagi's eyes narrowed slightly...and suddenly stopped. Seeing her older counterpart
stop, Chibi-Usagi stopped as well. "What?" She whispered, trying to keep control
of the new power she was feeling.
"Leave this to me...Metalia is mine..." She whispered, powering up...
Chibi-Usagi nodded...
~~~~
The others watched in awe...shock...surprise...Usagi was so powerful. Chibi-Usagi was
so powerful...more powerful than they had ever dreamed. When they had merged with
the Silver Crystals, their powers had increased incrediably...
They watched as Chibi-Usagi backed away....
"Leave this to me...Metalia is mine..." Usagi whispered.
"What is she doing?" Trunks whispered.
Mirai Trunks's eyes narrowed..."Foolish..." He whispered, taking a moment to glare at
his father. "She takes after you, Vegeta...father...she's being overconfident...too
overconfident."
Vegeta didn't respond. He was right. He couldn't deny it. Usagi was just like him...
prideful...arrogant at times...and overconfident as well...His eyes narrowed. Usagi...
please...don't be foolish. Don't be like me...
~~Flashback~~
"Let the hate and anger build you, Usagi...let it strengthen your resolve...let it increase
your power and speed."
"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."
~~End Flashback~~
His prediction would be true unless she was careful. He watched the battle with angry
eyes...
~~~~
Metalia smirked to herself. If she was going to lose...she would take Usagi with her...
With a strength no one knew she had, she attacked...
She attacked the Zfighters and Senshi. Usagi had no time to react...She attack flew
towards it's target...."No." She whispered in shock..."TRUNKS!!!!!" She yelled, but she
couldn't save him. She flew, but she wasn't fast enough...
Mirai Trunks stared in shock as he saw the attack flying towards him and his younger
counterpart...but it never connected. Before he knew what had happened, a figure in
glowing yellow flew in the path...
The world was silent.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It was Usagi's voice that broke the errie silence..."FATHER!"
Vegeta lay on the ground, his hair fading from its golden color to its black.
She stared in shock, before her eyes blazed with another fire...she seemed to burst into
flame...and with a yell that was both painful and angry...Usagi transformed again....into
Super Saiyan 3...
Metalia didn't stand a chance. Usagi was upon her before she could react. She showed
no mercy...she showed no fear...she only showed anger...revenge...Metalia's beautiful face
was unrecognizable as Usagi punched it, kicked her, blasted her with attack after attack.
She was dead long before Usagi finally gave into the sadness...and stopped.
She drifted back to her father's side. Falling to her knees beside him...Mirai Trunks was
staring at them both in shock. Tears ran down both their cheeks...
Usagi's hair turned blonde for the first time in almost 25 years...no longer were her eyes
silver...she stared down at her father as herself. He stared back at her...smiling slightly,
not the smirk that often graced their faces...a geniune smile.
"Why? How?" She choked out.
He stared at her and Mirai Trunks...and whispered in a voice filled with such feeling...such
emotion no one had ever heard in his voice..."Fatherly love, Usagi...fatherly love..." And his
eyes closed...his breath stopped...his power disappeared...
And it was. It was fatherly love.
Usagi gave an anguished scream. And a pair of arms encircled her...protective...full of love...
And she cried onto Android 17's shoulder.
Chibi-Usagi felt tears running down her face. She barely noticed. But she did notice when
a pair of arms encircled her. And she too, cried on the shoulder of the man she had come
to love...Gohan...
It was quiet for a long time...then the two Princess's stood up, pushing away the ones
comforting them...Then, before anyone could react, they were hugging their brothers. Usagi
and Mirai Trunks. Chibi-Usagi and Trunks. Tears ran from their eyes...
Then, once again, Usagi pulled away.
Her face was calm. Her eyes cold...slowly, with a silence that scared them all...she
approached the battered body of Metalia. She stared into her lifeless green eyes...and
then knelt beside her.
The silence once again permiated the air...but was broken by her soft voice, filled with a
calm that terrified them all...a voice none had ever heard her use. "You destroyed my
Kingdom...the Moon Kingdom. You tried to destroy the Saiyans. You brought evil after evil
into our lives...to this world. You tried to destroy everyone I love. You took over my own
body and tried to steal my soul and my Crystal..." She paused, voice dropping to barely
audible..."I could have forgiven you for this. Cured you of your evil...but..." Her eyes
narrowed. "That is my father you killed. And I can *never* forgive, Metalia...NEVER..."
She bent down further, whispering so only Metalia's dead body may know what she was
saying. "See you in hell, Metalia." And then, with a blast of power, she destroyed Metalia's
body.
Time seemed to stop. They stared at her. She was radiating hatred...radiating pain...
She closed her eyes, then turned back to kneel at her fathers side again. There was only
one hope for him now. One hope. She reached deep within her...to the Crystal, still merged
with her body. It was his only hope. She stared down at him, tears once again running down
her cheeks.
~~Flashback~~
Slowly, the two Saiyans appeared in the distance...then landed on the ground
near them...
Nappa immediatly checked for power levels...Pointing at her as the highest...
Vegeta's eyes rested on her, and their eyes locked with each other...
And he knew...there was something about her...that her eyes told everything
that was important...it showed her Saiyan power...her human spirit...her love
of life and peace...and his eyes narrowed...He opened his mouth to speak,
but she beat him to it...
"Hello, Vegeta...it's a pleasure to finally meet the Prince of Saiyans..." She
said coldly. If she acted even a little bit weak, then he would hate her...
consider her unworthy to be a Princess of the Saiyan race...one of the last
remaining descendants...
"Who the hell are you?" He asked, eyes blazing angrily...how did this girl
know who he was? And why did he feel a connection with her.
"Usagi....my name is Usagi..."
~~End Flashback~~
That was when she had first met her father. The first time she had seem him...
and now...now he was dead. And she would give her life to save him...
The Crystal pulsed with power. And she began to glow silver. And she called upon
its power. Crystal...please...save him...save my father...
Chibi-Usagi gasped. "No!" She whispered. Usagi was going to die saving their father!
She rushed towards her older counterpart, calling upon the powers of her own Crystal.
Alone, Usagi wouldn't survive...but with help, she would make it through this. She would
live...and so would Vegeta.
Simultaneously, they yelled out. "MOON CRYSTAL POWER!!!" And then everything was
covered in a flash of blinding light.
~~~~
She lay on her bed silently. Her mind deep in thought. She was finally...alone. No more
worries...no more cares. Just her...No longer did she have to worry about the world...no
longer did she have to worry about anything. But...she knew that the others were worried.
And for good reason.
She hadn't moved. In over a week, she had stayed in her room. They often knocked on
her door...asking if she was okay. What was she supposed to tell them? The truth? 'No.
I'm terrible. I want it all to end! I need to feel the peace I've always dreamed of!'
She wouldn't do that to them. She had already been the cause of all their problems...
She just wanted peace. There had been a moment through it all in which she had felt that
peace...just one moment.
And this moment would haunt her forever. It was a time in which she had almost given in
to the evil...
She had almost given in to Metalia's will. Almost given up. But Chibi-Usagi had been there.
Chibi-Usagi had pulled her through. Had given her hope. Reminded her that there were
things more important than the peace...
And now. Now these memories haunted her. All her memories would.
She didn't know how she could go on with the memories. She was over 30 years old.
Didn't look a day over 20. And felt like she was 100. Her memories spanned 1000
years....and she just wanted it to end. Was it her curse? To live like this. If she died,
she would be reborn. And then have to go through it all again. Then she was be reborn.
It was a neverending cycle.
She closed her eyes. A neverending cycle. Why couldn't it just end? She sighed. That
was a question never to be answered...
But there was one thing that still plagued her more than these thoughts....
Love.
She was in love. And she didn't know if he returned these feelings. It had been so long
since she had seen him. So long. Would he still care for her? Did he ever care for her?
She didn't know...
She felt tears run down her cheeks. The thought of unrequited love had been in her
nightmares for as long as she could remember. And she turned, burying her face into
her pillow..."17..."
~~~~
Vegeta didn't speak to anyone. Death. He had been dead...And once again, Usagi had
saved him. But this time...she was different. Before, she had been so happy to see him.
This time...
He closed his eyes.
~~Flashback~~
He gasped as he felt life return to his body. Slowly, he opened his eyes...to see Usagi and
Chibi-Usagi...Mirai Trunks and Trunks...his children. Usagi looked exhausted. Chibi-Usagi
not that much stronger than her older counterpart. Slowly, he sat up, staring at Usagi.
She was back. It had been so long...."Usagi..." He whispered.
She had her eyes closed, her breath was coming out in short gasps. It was obvious that she
was barely staying conscious. Slowly, she stood up and opened her eyes...and...
Ignoring them all, she walked into the house that was beside the destroyed CC. But the
look in her eyes...it was what terrified him...it was a look of someone who had seen death...
and embraced it. The look of someone who now longed for it...It was a look he had never
seen on her face...in her eyes.
~~End Flashback~~
Sighing, he opened his eyes. There, in front of Usagi's door was Android 17...He stared
at the Android for a long moment. Love. It was love that was in the Android's eyes. Love
that he felt for Usagi. Love she felt for him...
And Vegeta knew there was only one thing that could return the light to Usagi's eyes...
"Go to her." He whispered. Android 17 nodded slowly, and opened the door, closing it
behind him...."Goodluck." Vegeta whispered, turning to leave the house.
~~~~
They were connected in a way no one else was. They were the same...yet different. They
were more than twins...they had the same soul...and even more than that...they had shared
the same soul. Their minds had connected. Memories exchanged. Shared. They entire
lives shown to the other...they had shared battles and they had shared emotions. Feelings.
Anger. Sadness. Hate. Happiness. Regret. Fear. Love.
But now they were once again separate...two...yet one. And the link was still strong between
them.
Chibi-Usagi stared down at her food...not even touching it. She could feel Usagi's pain. At
first the bond between them had been weakened by turning Super Saiyan...but now it was
back and stronger than ever. It was obvious, now, that Usagi was sad. And it was obvious
that the older Saiyan Princess was troubled with something....and that something was
Android 17.
She sighed, fiddling with her food. Usagi...please...please be okay...I know he loves you...
Just...don't give up on him...or yourself.
And Chibi-Usagi knew what was wrong....Post Traumatic Stress Syndrom. Usagi had been
through so much...and the only thinging keeping her sane was the knowledge that she was
needed...but now that she wasn't needed anymore, she had given up on everything. She
stared at her food once more...there was nothing she could do to help Usagi. Only 17 could.
~~~~
Usagi continued to cry into her pillow. There was nothing here for her. Nothing. If 17
didn't care for her...she...she didn't know what she'd do...
"Usagi." A voice whispered from the doorway. She hadn't heard the door open. But then
again, her senses were dulled by her tears and feelings. She quickly sat up, wiping her
tears away. It was Android 17.
