(Chapter Eleven)
They all re-appeared and of course Pluto and Mars dropped into dead faints because of the over-dose of magic and power that they had used to transport themselves there. Van immediately jumped out of the Escaflowne and ran to the unconscious Rei, while Hitomi ran towards Pluto and was looking her over to see if she'd been hurt.
When they'd both came to, and everyone had acquainted with one another they worked out how to fight Queen Beryl. They were all well aware that after learning the secret to inter-dimensional travel, Queen Beryl had many different warriors from different times and dimensions in her army. They decided that Beryl should see only the Sailor Scouts first and then they could surprise her a little with the rest of their small army.
It was then that Pluto told some news that sobered them a lot more than they already were. She had figured out that Beryl had the Time Staff and it would not be very easy getting it back from her. The scouts from the future asked if their husbands would come along to help fight but Pluto disagreed. They had once been captured by Beryl and it would not be hard to get them back as well.
Meanwhile, Beryl was pacing around her new throne. She was well aware of their oncoming attack and was anxious to start the battle. She was holding the Time Staff and she stared at the red gem on it. It had changed a little bit in color being transfigured by its new mistress and was now a blackish-red and glowed with dark energy.
"Ka... me... ha... me... ha!" yelled Gohan and a large ki blast erupted from his hands and into the target. It immediately disintegrated and Gohan brushed his hands off. Pluto jumped back a little from where she was since the ki blast had been quite close to her. "Watch where you aim, Gohan!" she called and he blushed and apologized quickly.
They were training for a few days before the attack on Beryl and they were trying their hardest. Alan and Van and Dilandau were working with their guymellefs and Jasmine, Selene were practicing with their swords and also teaching Hitomi, just in case her telepathic skills didn't help her much. The Sailor Senshi were practicing with their own attacks and Uranus and Neptune were sparring with Pluto and Saturn. The other senshi were sparring also. Rei went against herself in the future, same with the other senshi. Endymion and Chibi-Usa were also training and they were fighting each other. One as Tuxedo Mask and the other as Sailor Chibi Moon.
After two days of heavy training they were ready to begin their attack. The Sailor Senshi gathered themselves and they rode the magnificent horses that they had decked out with their symbols. Mars' horses were wearing red cloth with the symbol of Mars on it in gold and they all looked very fierce. They rode ahead and struck full attack on Beryl's fortress where they were met with what looked like a solid wall of Beryl's minions. As they attacked they were slowly moving towards the fortress but the wall of monsters had not thinned a bit.
"Uranus... World... Shaking!" yelled Uranus and the surrounding monsters were gone. "Neptune... Deep... Submerge!" yelled Sailor Neptune at the same moment. The Sailor Senshi took hold of this advantage and they surged forwards, their steeds straining their muscles to the utmost and bounded towards the fortress. In the corner of their eyes they could see the others coming towards them as well and Gohan's ki blasts were racking up major points for them. Goku, Piccolo, Goten, and the rest of the gang were also there as well and fighting the monsters alongside them.
Deep inside the fortress the body of Usagi shuddered and her crystal in her hand began to regain a little of its luminosity. Not enough to show to the guards that were staring at her through their great black armor that it was regaining strength from the determination of its mistress's friends...
Beryl herself was standing on a platform inside the fortress and she was staring at the glowing black-red orb. Though she had mastered inter-dimensional travel and transportation, she still did not know how to harness its full power and it was alarmed her slightly. She was not a master but even she could know how much power was held within the small black-red orb. A splintering crash sounded at her left and she knew it was time. She ordered the monsters that she had gathered from different dimensions and realms and they surged towards the small group of warriors that were bravely gaining ground towards her.
"What are they?!" gasped Mercury as she turned into ice several more small, weak but bothersome monsters. They were getting a little tired but they persisted in continuing their rush towards Beryl's fortress. The Dragonball gang however were still going strong since they had fought less and they had received better training than that if the Sailor Senshi who couldn't exactly train very well with a bunch of cats. The group from the Escaflowne dimension were destroying many with their guymellefs and the samurai were the strongest of the Zaibach empire. Hitomi's psychic powers helped her control her sword steadily and she could determine what her opponent would attempt before it even thought of it and she had defeated many as well.
The small monsters immediately disappeared and they were standing alone among many corpses strewn across the battlefield. They were all staring at the group of incredible fighting machines that Beryl had encountered and had enslaved. There they could see many that they had seen before fromt their respective dimensions. Frieza, Cell, the androids were there. So were many of the enemies of both Van and Dilandau whom they had once defeated a long time ago. There were all the youmas that had tried to kill the senshi and many more. They were shocked by it and the monsters chose that moment to rush forward.
Frieza immediately attacked Trunks and Goku who had destroyed him once before. The Sailor Senshi were being attacked by others that they had fought before, there was Emerald and Rubeus and also many other demons. Though they fought bravely, the battle surged towards Beryl's favor and she gloated at the failing army of her opponents.
The crystal in Usagi's hand sparked and flashed deep within itself and the image of Queen Serenity appeared in it. The crystal floated above Usagi's still face and the gaurds who had seen it by now were running towards the crystal but they could not reach her. The crystal flared brightly, Queen Serenity was once again using her own magic and mystic training to help her daughter whom she loved dearly.
Usagi's eyelashes fluttered before they parted to frame her eyes like ferns fringing a pool of water. The crystal began to sparkle as it used to and Usagi knew above all that her friends were in trouble and all to save her. Her eyes slitted in concentration and her clothes burst into the dress of Neo-Queen Serenity. The crystal in which she was in immediately shattered and the shards shot deep into the guards' armor and they crumpled to the ground.
"NO!" screamed Mars as Rubeus commenced in slashing at her friend's body though she tried valiantly to escape. Mars shot her firebird at Rubeus who was stunned for enough time for Venus to blast him dead from where she lay under him. She looked around, and saw that they were failing. Mars herself was already fainting from exhaustion and she knew that she could not hold off for much longer.
Van in his Escaflowne was also weakening both physically and mentally for it takes a lot of strength of both mind and body to pilot a guymellef. He saw Mars fall. It was the one from the future and he picked her up. As she lay crumpled, he knew she was alive but only barely. He carried her to a grove of trees that sheltered her battered body and he proceeded to fight once again.
Beryl in the fortress looked upon the battlefield with glee. Her army was triumphing as she knew it would since that pesky princess was no longer alive. "I'm dead aren't I?" came a cold female voice behind her. Beryl whirled around and came face to face with the cold, merciless face of Neo-Queen Serenity. She gave an involuntary gasp and stepped back. Never had the eyes of Usagi ever look like twin shards of ice. In her hands was the sparkling crystal and Beryl knew that this was no vision. "Wha-?" she gasped before her mind exploded in pain from the enormous blast of energy that Usagi had thrown at her.
She reeled and clutched at the Time Staff. The glowing orb flashed and struck a black spark straight at Usagi. Whipping out her hand, Usagi managed to deflect it but the power of it burned her hands brutally. She shot another blast at Beryl and it was met with another spark of black energy. The two energies collided and they forced all their might to overcome the other.
Gohan's head snapped up and he felt her warm presence float into her mind. He knew at once that Usagi was back and that she was fighting Beryl. He instantaneously flew towards the fortress ignoring the monsters obstructing his way and was followed by the tiring army. When they reached the platform on which the tow Queens stood, they understood that this was their last chance. Knowing what to do, they began to give all their energy to Usagi, using their tired minds to channel what little power was within their battered bodies towards the young future Queen.
As the energy reached her, Usagi let loose a second power ball that seemed nearly impossible to do. The two power blasts of Usagi combined and overcame Beryl's. It surged into her body and she was gone. Usagi collapsed from the strain and her dress changed back into the one of Sailor Moon. Gohan ran towards her and picked her up, she was still conscious and saw him staring down at her worriedly. "Usagi..." he whispered and he leaned down and kissed her. 'At last it's over.'
Pluto walked up and bent down cautiously to pick up her Time Staff. The Time Staff, simply gave off a spark of black lightning and hit the wary Sailor Pluto and she flew back. The Staff floated up into the air and the sound of mocking laughter filled the air. "YOU THINK YOU CAN KILL ME THAT EASILY MOON BRAT?! WITH THIS TIME STAFF YOU CAN NEVER DESTROY ME! YOU WOULD NEED TWICE THE POWER OF THE SILVER CYSTAL!" the deadly voice came over the peaks of the mountains and the clouds that had rolled in turned black and threatened dangerously. A flash of pitch black lightning flashed down and struck the Earth next to the glowing Time Staff.
Usagi's body jerked and then it was jolted from Gohan's grasp. She flew in the air and crashed into a marble wall. The crash made a crater-like imprint in the wall and she slumped down. Trunks flew over and he picked her up. Gohan ran over and looked in Trunks' arms at Usagi. There was a thin trail of blood on her mouth, which she had spit out at impact.
A swirling of dust and air began to build up and which focused the attention of the tired group of people. When the swirl of dust disappeared, there stood Beryl, the same as ever. Her wounds were gone and she grinned evilly at the group of warriors. "WELL, WELL, WELL. AREN'T YOU HAPPY TO SEE ME?" she whipped her hand out and grabbed the Time Staff which glowed at the touch of its mistress. Pluto stared at it. 'What is the matter with it? It is one of the sacred treasures and would never work for someone this evil!'
Usagi glared over at Beryl from Trunks' arms. "You will never win Beryl." Her voice came quietly and calmly. The senshi were shocked. This was not the same Usagi that they had known for all their lives. Usagi herself knew that she could not defeat Beryl in her weakened condition, but she would try to weaken her enough so that the others might be able to live. She decided to sacrifice herself in an attempt to save all the people that she knew and loved. She stared at the group of warriors that had come together to help her. Rei was leaning on Van's shoulder as a support. Alan was holding Selene close to his body. Dilandau clutched Jasmine against him. The others were standing or slumping where they were.
She stood up and held up the Holy Grail, the cup in which she could transform to Super Sailor Moon. As she yelled out the henshin words, she could sense the collective gasps that her friends emitted. She would save them she vowed. As she reappeared, she glared at Beryl. "You will never destroy the people that are close to me. I swear that you will know your last day on this Earth today!" She whipped out her Spiral Heart Wand and pointed it at Beryl. "SO IT COMES TO THIS ONCE MORE DOESN'T IT?" came the voice of Beryl. Her hands formed a ball of energy between them and she held it high above her head. Super Sailor Moon swung the wand and yelled out the attack words. "Moon... Spiral... Heart... Attack!" the blast of pink and yellow energy shot out of the wand.
Beryl simply threw her black energy ball at Super Sailor Moon and it consumed her energy. The colliding energy balls exploded on impact and they all shielded their eyes from the bright light. Gohan ran up and held onto Usagi before she collapsed. She looked up at him and smiled just as though she wasn't about to be killed by one of the evilest beings in the Negaverse. She stood up on her own feet. "I need your help Gohan." She whispered as Beryl was recovering from the attack. "You have to throw an energy ball at her so that she will be distracted enough for me to destroy her." He nodded and signaled for Trunks to join him. They both powered up and threw their strongest energy balls at Beryl. They hit her squarely and she reeled back in shock giving Usagi enough time to hit her again with her magic energy erupting from her wand.
Chibi-Usa couldn't stand it anymore, she began to cry and cry. "NO! MOMMY!" she yelled. A tear ran down her face, and magically a Silver crystal appeared. It was the one that she had been playing with in the future and which had disappeared. She held it up and stared at Usagi. She nodded her head. They both suddenly lifted the Silver Crystals and yelled, "Cosmic... Moon... Power!" there was a bright flash that erupted from the two Crystals and there appeared Usagi as Neo-Queen Serenity and Chibi-Usa as Princess Chibi-Usa.
Beryl, who had never seen Neo-Queen Serenity or Princess Chibi-Usa was shocked. "HOW THE HELL ARE THERE *TWO* SILVER CRYSTALS?!" she yelled in fury. They both just glared at her and with the two crystals flung out at arms' length in front of them, they sent a combined stream of energy that hit Beryl. With a final scream of fury, Beryl disappeared. For good this time.
The planet on which they stood on began to shake and quake. Setsuna yelled. "Oh no! With her last breath, Beryl's going to try to destroy us! We've got to leave!" Goku flew up to her. "But what about us?! We can't stay here at the moment!" Setsuna stopped and stared at Gohan and Usagi together. Then at Rei and Vaun. She sighed. "This was not meant to be, this will change the entire destiny of the Universe." She sunk down but Goku caught her before she hit the ground. "You-you're coming with us. All of you." She grabbed the Time Staff and the orb, which now turned a pure red once more. She waved it and all of the warriors were gone from the planet that they had fought on.
They arrived at the Gates of Time and everyone except the senshi was startled. They stared at the room and at the cloudy carpet. Setsuna de-transformed wearily and so did the rest of the senshi. The others stared at the now normal looking group of girls. "What are we going to do now?" asked Usagi quietly, clutching Gohan's arm. Setsuna stared at her. "I-I don't know, this will change all that has been written and it will change destiny itself!"
Usagi walked up to her and laid a hand on her shoulder. "Setsuna," she spoke quietly, "Destiny is what we make of it. We cannot always live by what has been written. I could kill myself and everyone else this moment and it would not be following destiny." Her voice rang with the maturity of the Neo-Queen. Setsuna stared at the now mature blue eyes and kneeled down in front of her. "Yes, I understand my queen... but what will be done with all of them?" she waved a hand at the others.
Usagi stared at everyone and her eyes filled with tears. "Although we cannot recreate all of destiny, we cannot go against all that we are meant to be. We-we." She faltered for a moment. "We must go back to our separate dimensions." The group of people were shocked and Rei held tight to Van. "But-but why?! We're happy... Aren't we?" whimpered Rei. Usagi hugged Gohan who was looking stunned. "We must say our good bye's" She then turned to Setsuna, "Set the computer to send us back in an hour. We should have time to talk." Setsuna nodded and turned to the great computer.
She walked over to a cloudy corner and sat on the floor and began to talking to Gohan quietly. He was staring at her in amazement. "You are the most incredible girl I have ever met. Even Trunks can't beat you and he traveled through time too. But you... You're a princess and a soldier of the Moon?" she smiled at him. "So? Wasn't I okay when you first met me?" she asked her eyes sparkling and which had lost all its solemnity.
He smiled at her and he crushed her in his arms. "I-I never want to let you go Usagi..." he whispered down at her. "I-I love you." Her eyes flew wide open and she pulled back staring at him in shock. "You-you do?" her eyes lit up. "I love you too." Before she kissed him lightly. She suddenly pulled back and her eyes darkened in sadness and she started to cry again.
"You- ohmygod, you were supposed to..." she stopped. Gohan stared down at her. "What is it?" he asked. She looked up at him. "If I hadn't come along, you would have followed your destiny and fallen in love with Videl... You know that girl from school?" He gasped as she spoke. He would have fallen in love with some other girl? "Well now I know the future won't I?" He smiled down at her. "Following your direct words, 'Destiny is what we make of it' I think that I just made my own destiny." He laughed softly and bent down to kiss her again.
Rei and Van had gone off together and were also talking. "How can you leave me?" he asked softly. She smiled sadly. "Usagi's right you know. I can't leave my world forever we are its defenses and we must protect it." She stared up at him. "Don't worry... I promise, I WILL return. And it won't be with me crying my head off." She ended laughing softly remembering when she had first come to with amnesia. She stared at him. "I-I have to tell you something. If I had never appeared, you would have fallen in love with Hitomi. I messed things up with destiny didn't I?" she stared down at her shoes. He gave her a hug. "You think that after this I would love any other girl? If what you say is true then I really have followed destiny. I was to fall in love with a girl from the Mystic Moon." He looked deep into her eyes. "And that's what happened." He bent down and kissed her.
Trunks stared at his best friends shadow and the one from Usagi. He looked around. To think that everyone thought that he was a heartthrob! Who snagged the Neo-Queen? He turned at a sudden tap on his shoulder and came face to face with Minako. Her sailor suit was rumpled from the fight but she was beautiful. "A little lonely?" she asked as she pointed to all the other girls and guys that were together. The generals from Earth had appeared to visit Pluto and stayed with their wives. Mercury and Jupiter were flirting with two of Dilandau's men.
He smiled a bit. "Yeah, maybe just a little. She sat down on the floor beside him. "You think that we'll see you guys ever again? You were a great help to us when you got nothing in return." He smirked at her. "Ya think? We got rid of one of the worst villains yet. And I kinda like fighting with you guys. Fighting alongside cute girls in mini-skirts sure help." He winked at her and she giggled. They spent the rest of the time talking and laughing together.
Pluto stared at the couples. She was alone again, Hotaru walked up. "Yep, I knew you'd feel lonely." She stared at the others. Then she stared at the monitor. "Umm, Pluto the computer is ready." Pluto's eyes widened and she spun around. "Your Majesty! We have to send you back now!" she called. A groan swept through the room and Usagi burrowed into Gohan's shirt. "Goodbye." She stood up and when the rest of the people were together from their respective dimension, they all looked at each other. "Goodbye..." The words were uttered as a brilliant flash caused them all to shut their eyes and they re-appeared back.
Sailor Moon stared at the youma and almost wanted to run up and hug it for the adventure it had given her and her friends. But instead she simply used an attack that she had learned when in the Dragonball dimension. The kamehameha blasted the youma into pieces, although it also burned a few trees into cinders. "Whoops, gotta learn the aim." She smiled at the others and they all ran home.
***********************************************************************
Van and the others stared at each other. Dilandau started suddenly and he looked up into the sky. "Look!" he yelled and they could see the floating fortress of Zaibach. They could almost see the outline of Folken, Van's evil brother. Van looked over at Dilandau and saw that Jasmine was clutching Dilandau, "Please Dilandau, I don't want to go back! Please don't make me go back!" she whimpered betraying a weakness in her. Dilandau stared at Van, "Will you- will you forgive me?" he asked quietly. Van stared at him before breaking out in a smile. "You're on the team!" Dilandau grabbed his sword and they faced the enemy together.
Gohan stared at the android in front of them and sighed. Why were they always coming back? He sent a blast of power into the android and it exploded. "Usagi... I miss you." He sighed into the wind. Trunks was thinking similar things... Just that he kind of felt them for Minako instead. They looked at each other and understood. "Well, looks like we're caught!" yelled Trunks with a high-five.
***********************************************************************
So was that okay? Should I be banned from ever using a keyboard? Tell me! Yeah, yeah so the ending was kinda sad. I wanted them to be together but then where would they go? If you like this one... Hey! Don't throw knives! Then hopefully you'll like the sequel that I'm gonna write. And as you all know, Dilandau is Alan's brother. I'm sorry! I didn't know until I finished the fic! And Merle's predicament was crazy in some people's point of view, but honestly, love makes us do strange things! Oh and I also wanted Dark Endymion to live but he would have gotten Usagi. But if you like him, I'll soon have a story out called Forget-Me-Not. It focuses around him and Usagi. Buh bye! ^_^!
They all re-appeared and of course Pluto and Mars dropped into dead faints because of the over-dose of magic and power that they had used to transport themselves there.

She would save them she vowed. As she reappeared, she glared at Beryl. "You will never destroy the people that are close to me. I swear that you will know your last day on this Earth today!" She whipped out her Spiral Heart Wand and pointed it at Beryl. "SO IT COMES TO THIS ONCE MORE DOESN'T IT?" came the voice of Beryl. Her hands formed a ball of energy between them and she held it high above her head. Super Sailor Moon swung the wand and yelled out the attack words. "Moon... Spiral... Heart... Attack!" the blast of pink and yellow energy shot out of the wand.
Beryl simply threw her black energy ball at Super Sailor Moon and it consumed her energy. The colliding energy balls exploded on impact and they all shielded their eyes from the bright light. Gohan ran up and held onto Usagi before she collapsed. She looked up at him and smiled just as though she wasn't about to be killed by one of the evilest beings in the Negaverse. She stood up on her own feet. "I need your help Gohan." She whispered as Beryl was recovering from the attack. "You have to throw an energy ball at her so that she will be distracted enough for me to destroy her." He nodded and signaled for Trunks to join him. They both powered up and threw their strongest energy balls at Beryl. They hit her squarely and she reeled back in shock giving Usagi enough time to hit her again with her magic energy erupting from her wand.
Chibi-Usa couldn't stand it anymore, she began to cry and cry. "NO! MOMMY!" she yelled. A tear ran down her face, and magically a Silver crystal appeared. It was the one that she had been playing with in the future and which had disappeared. She held it up and stared at Usagi. She nodded her head. They both suddenly lifted the Silver Crystals and yelled, "Cosmic... Moon... Power!" there was a bright flash that erupted from the two Crystals and there appeared Usagi as Neo-Queen Serenity and Chibi-Usa as Princess Chibi-Usa.
Beryl, who had never seen Neo-Queen Serenity or Princess Chibi-Usa was shocked. "HOW THE HELL ARE THERE *TWO* SILVER CRYSTALS?!" she yelled in fury. They both just glared at her and with the two crystals flung out at arms' length in front of them, they sent a combined stream of energy that hit Beryl. With a final scream of fury, Beryl disappeared. For good this time.
The planet on which they stood on began to shake and quake. Setsuna yelled. "Oh no! With her last breath, Beryl's going to try to destroy us! We've got to leave!" Goku flew up to her. "But what about us?! We can't stay here at the moment!" Setsuna stopped and stared at Gohan and Usagi together. Then at Rei and Vaun. She sighed. "This was not meant to be, this will change the entire destiny of the Universe." She sunk down but Goku caught her before she hit the ground. "You-you're coming with us. All of you." She grabbed the Time Staff and the orb, which now turned a pure red once more. She waved it and all of the warriors were gone from the planet that they had fought on.
They arrived at the Gates of Time and everyone except the senshi was startled. They stared at the room and at the cloudy carpet. Setsuna de-transformed wearily and so did the rest of the senshi. The others stared at the now normal looking group of girls. "What are we going to do now?" asked Usagi quietly, clutching Gohan's arm. Setsuna stared at her. "I-I don't know, this will change all that has been written and it will change destiny itself!"
Usagi walked up to her and laid a hand on her shoulder. "Setsuna," she spoke quietly, "Destiny is what we make of it. We cannot always live by what has been written. I could kill myself and everyone else this moment and it would not be following destiny." Her voice rang with the maturity of the Neo-Queen. Setsuna stared at the now mature blue eyes and kneeled down in front of her. "Yes, I understand my queen... but what will be done with all of them?" she waved a hand at the others.
Usagi stared at everyone and her eyes filled with tears. "Although we cannot recreate all of destiny, we cannot go against all that we are meant to be. We-we." She faltered for a moment. "We must go back to our separate dimensions." The group of people were shocked and Rei held tight to Van. "But-but why?! We're happy... Aren't we?" whimpered Rei. Usagi hugged Gohan who was looking stunned. "We must say our good bye's" She then turned to Setsuna, "Set the computer to send us back in an hour. We should have time to talk." Setsuna nodded and turned to the great computer.
She walked over to a cloudy corner and sat on the floor and began to talking to Gohan quietly. He was staring at her in amazement. "You are the most incredible girl I have ever met. Even Trunks can't beat you and he traveled through time too. But you... You're a princess and a soldier of the Moon?" she smiled at him. "So? Wasn't I okay when you first met me?" she asked her eyes sparkling and which had lost all its solemnity.
He smiled at her and he crushed her in his arms. "I-I never want to let you go Usagi..." he whispered down at her. "I-I love you." Her eyes flew wide open and she pulled back staring at him in shock. "You-you do?" her eyes lit up. "I love you too." Before she kissed him lightly. She suddenly pulled back and her eyes darkened in sadness and she started to cry again.
"You- ohmygod, you were supposed to..." she stopped. Gohan stared down at her. "What is it?" he asked. She looked up at him. "If I hadn't come along, you would have followed your destiny and fallen in love with Videl... You know that girl from school?" He gasped as she spoke. He would have fallen in love with some other girl? "Well now I know the future won't I?" He smiled down at her. "Following your direct words, 'Destiny is what we make of it' I think that I just made my own destiny." He laughed softly and bent down to kiss her again.
Rei and Van had gone off together and were also talking. "How can you leave me?" he asked softly. She smiled sadly. "Usagi's right you know. I can't leave my world forever we are its defenses and we must protect it." She stared up at him. "Don't worry... I promise, I WILL return. And it won't be with me crying my head off." She ended laughing softly remembering when she had first come to with amnesia. She stared at him. "I-I have to tell you something. If I had never appeared, you would have fallen in love with Hitomi. I messed things up with destiny didn't I?" she stared down at her shoes. He gave her a hug. "You think that after this I would love any other girl? If what you say is true then I really have followed destiny. I was to fall in love with a girl from the Mystic Moon." He looked deep into her eyes. "And that's what happened." He bent down and kissed her.
Trunks stared at his best friends shadow and the one from Usagi. He looked around. To think that everyone thought that he was a heartthrob! Who snagged the Neo-Queen? He turned at a sudden tap on his shoulder and came face to face with Minako. Her sailor suit was rumpled from the fight but she was beautiful. "A little lonely?" she asked as she pointed to all the other girls and guys that were together. The generals from Earth had appeared to visit Pluto and stayed with their wives. Mercury and Jupiter were flirting with two of Dilandau's men.
He smiled a bit. "Yeah, maybe just a little. She sat down on the floor beside him. "You think that we'll see you guys ever again? You were a great help to us when you got nothing in return." He smirked at her. "Ya think? We got rid of one of the worst villains yet. And I kinda like fighting with you guys. Fighting alongside cute girls in mini-skirts sure help." He winked at her and she giggled. They spent the rest of the time talking and laughing together.
Pluto stared at the couples. She was alone again, Hotaru walked up. "Yep, I knew you'd feel lonely." She stared at the others. Then she stared at the monitor. "Umm, Pluto the computer is ready." Pluto's eyes widened and she spun around. "Your Majesty! We have to send you back now!" she called. A groan swept through the room and Usagi burrowed into Gohan's shirt. "Goodbye." She stood up and when the rest of the people were together from their respective dimension, they all looked at each other. "Goodbye..." The words were uttered as a brilliant flash caused them all to shut their eyes and they re-appeared back.
Sailor Moon stared at the youma and almost wanted to run up and hug it for the adventure it had given her and her friends. But instead she simply used an attack that she had learned when in the Dragonball dimension. The kamehameha blasted the youma into pieces, although it also burned a few trees into cinders. "Whoops, gotta learn the aim." She smiled at the others and they all ran home.
***********************************************************************
Van and the others stared at each other. Dilandau started suddenly and he looked up into the sky. "Look!" he yelled and they could see the floating fortress of Zaibach. They could almost see the outline of Folken, Van's evil brother. Van looked over at Dilandau and saw that Jasmine was clutching Dilandau, "Please Dilandau, I don't want to go back! Please don't make me go back!" she whimpered betraying a weakness in her. Dilandau stared at Van, "Will you- will you forgive me?" he asked quietly. Van stared at him before breaking out in a smile. "You're on the team!" Dilandau grabbed his sword and they faced the enemy together.
Gohan stared at the android in front of them and sighed. Why were they always coming back? He sent a blast of power into the android and it exploded. "Usagi... I miss you." He sighed into the wind. Trunks was thinking similar things... Just that he kind of felt them for Minako instead. They looked at each other and understood. "Well, looks like we're caught!" yelled Trunks with a high-five.

So was that okay? Should I be banned from ever using a keyboard? Tell me! Yeah, yeah so the ending was kinda sad. I wanted them to be together but then where would they go? If you like this one... Hey! Don't throw knives! Then hopefully you'll like the sequel that I'm gonna write. And as you all know, Dilandau is Alan's brother. I'm sorry! I didn't know until I finished the fic! And Merle's predicament was crazy in some people's point of view, but honestly, love makes us do strange things! Oh and I also wanted Dark Endymion to live but he would have gotten Usagi. But if you like him, I'll soon have a story out called Forget-Me-Not. It focuses around him and Usagi. Buh bye! ^_^!
