Countdown until Usa saves the world, or dies, but authors don't really mention that part much. Anyway read on. Forballa and Enkou are mine, (figures they're bad guys) everyone else is owened by big corporations with lotsa money, and ::reaches into her pocket:: firefly only has a mint, lint and a candy wrapper. And OH! I have a rusty penny too, atleast I think it's a penny.
Usagi had been doing pushups, pullups, thrown ki blasts at trees and rocks. She practiced maintaining her super saiya-jin power. After one week she had gained so much power, she was afraid to use it. She rarely morphed into a super saiya-jin after the first day. The silver hair and eerie sound that followed her was just too much, and she couldn't recall what happened after (Bulma said "a gold crescent on your forehead, that's so weird!")
Usagi shook off her emotions and continued on ki blasts, she was inside a ship that her grandfather had built. She couldn't release the ki blasts but she could still focus on maintaining one. In the vessel she went for mass and power rather than size and mobility. She had just created a rather large light blue beam when the ship sounded out an alarm.
"Yellow Alert. Two alien ships aproaching from sector G101794345689."
"Shimatta. Send out a peace message," she said. Spaceships weren't her piece of cake.
"Message sent, they have shut down all connections, and are charging weapons."
"Oh god oh god! Um," Usagi bit her lip. "Do we have weapons?"
"Hai."
"Return fire, and er, basic maneuvers Mr. Spock!" Usagi said, striking a pose. It was a show she had started to like her year with Serena.
If the computer could sweat drop or raise an eyebrow it just had. "Hai."
"I'll show those bastards!" the energetic thirteen year old said mischieviously. Usagi's blonde pigtails fanned out, her eyes shimmered with curiousity. It was good to be alive!
The ship shook as it was hit by numerous blasts. "Damn you Forballa!" Serena never swore but Usagi had been around Piccolo-san and Vegeta too long. "How far to the planet?"
"Twenty-two minutes," it droned back.
"Ditch the weapons and get us out of here!" Usagi commanded, holding on to the chair as the gravity machine reversed. "What's going on?" she asked as the lights went on.
"We're shutting down systems to gain s. p.e. e…" she machine bleeped out.
Seventeen minutes, the screen read. Usagi urged
it on, plugging in a wire to her hand, transfering power to speed up the ship. Fifteen
minutes, it said, Usagi fueled in more power. Doing pushups all the while. Ten
minutes.
The ship rumbled, Usagi lost her balance in the anti-gravity. The two vessels had returned fire. Usagi ripped the cord off, kicked the gravity simulator, which started up again, and stepped towards the hatch. She tied the cord to her wrist.
"Open the hatch!" she commanded, taking a deep breath.
The suction ripped at her hair and threatened to
pull her into the black void. The pull was so great Usagi couldn't think
straight. She exhaled trying to suck in air but to no avail. Iie.
She shot a tiny blast at the right ship, it exploded moments later, when Usagi's lungs felt ready to burst. "Close it!" she choked, her face blue from lack of oxygen.
The hatch shut and Usagi rolled onto the ground coughing and clutching her throat. She had fit in a year of training in the hyperbolic time chamber, but no saiya-jin could stand the loss of air. Yes, strangely enough she was still a saiya-jin, a super at that. She sat up, feeling her bruised ribs. She picked up her bag of senzu beans and slipped them into her gi, taking one out for the road. Knowing Enkou and Forballa, there were plenty of threats on the way.
With the newly adjusted speed, the vessel got to it's destination safely. She was convinced that they would try to hurt her and keep her from getting to the meeting place. She picked up her opponents ki, she launched into the air and shot off into the morning.
"She's here."
"Do it."
"Hai milord."
Usagi watched the sunrise, as she trekked east. It was a small planet, about Pluto's size. Gohan had taken her to Pluto once with ChiChi, and they spent the week there, having a break. She had been to Mars and Saturn as well, Venus they didn't dare go near. She sighed, remembering the good ol' days. She jumped up and powered up in the sky, doing barrel rolls and enjoying herself, she had come across a weak demon, disintegrating it with ease.
A red demon appeared out of nowhere, licking it's rotted lips, it's spiked tail whipping leisurely at his feet. "Fresh meat," it rasped.
"Try cannabalism," Usagi said with a smirk, zipping past it.The demon blocked her path, Usagi levitated to the ground, her arms crossed angrilly. "The almight Forballa doesn't like to be kept waiting!" she said sarcastically, trying to zoom past again. He countered again, and Usagi got into a fighting stance. "Suit yourself," she said airily.
The demon did a series of long karate moves into the air, "you will never defeat me!" It did a few more.
SLAM!
Usagi rolled her eyes, sucked up what was left of
the ki blast she had released and skipped daintilly over his corpse into the
air. She stopped as she saw Enkou in the distance, hood up. She drifted to the
ground, leaning on a large tree-like plant. "So it's come to this," she sighed.
She powered up to her maximum, low by Enkou's standards. The familiar noise
scaring her somewhat. This super saiya-jin business is too freaky.
"Lemme guess, you're here to stop me from getting to Enkou so that he can rule the world," Usagi droned.
"Hai, can we start sparring?" he said, his eyes lazilly boring into her blue ones.
Usagi shut her shimmering eyes, collecting her thoughts. "Hai, we ca-"
Enkou hit her in the stomach and she flew back.
Usagi got up and brushed herself off, he was faster, stronger, and smarter than she. And he had multiple bodies and hidden power.
Sounds hopeless, she thought, and smirked. That's a battle for ya, she rammed forwards, watching as Enkou fell into her trap, she twisted around rapidly, her right leg digging into his back. He didn't look remotely stunned.
Usagi flew above him, "take THIS!" she roared shooting mutiple blasts at him, much like popcorn, her training in the hyperbolic time chamber had really paid off. She was no longer the silly, bubbly girl she was before. Dead serious, and ready for her adversary. She blasted him over and over, taking care to look tired, while she really wasn't too drained.
Usagi sent her last ki attack and stood next to him, as she guessed the blasts had done little damage. She dodged forwards, using her physical power to drive him back.
He darted backwards, whipping out a potion and drinking it in super speed. He retched forwards, smiling with relish as his transformation took place.
His body grew a foot, and his cloak vanished, he was pure fire energy. "Like it, Usa? I'm a fire elemental, you're lucky you're immune to my powers, your boyfriend wasn't as lucky, now he's just barely got a soul.
"Bastard!" Usagi shouted, analyzing his body. Like many fighters she had learned to stay brave in the face of danger, well sorta. "I can do that too ya know!"
On Enkou's fiery head, black charcoal eyes opened. "Really."
"Disguise Power," she muttered under her breath, she felt the pen heat up. "Eternal Sun Prism Power! MAKE UP!" She swirled around in the pen's powers, feeling the heat of "sailor Sun's" fuku. She inished with a pose. Her fuku that of Enkou's body, she was surprised she wasn't being burned.
"A worthy opponent, Sun," Enkou said sarcastically, Usagi not noticing.
"Damn right!" Sun said, slamming her fist forwards, only to have it charred. She refused to cry, blinking back the stinging tears. She gripped a piece of her skirt, the odd heat cooled her hand, taking away the pain. An idea formed in her unsophisticated brain, she ripped off a piece of fabric, wrapping it around her fists. Her boots were already protected.
"And now you burn Usagi," Enkou said, running towards her.
"Not quite, Enkou," she replied, punching him squarely in the jaw, the flame not affecting her in the slightest bit.
"What?" he mumbled, "how?"
"Ssshh, can't tell you that it's secret," she whispered secretively, holding a finger to her lips.
Enkou shrugged off his surprised look and charged, his coal eyes lifeless and empty.
Usagi fell back in pain, as he hit her with a ki blast on her chest. The skirt would immunize her to his skin, but not from ki. "KA ME HA ME HAAAAA!" Usagi shouted, a blast the size of herself flew out of her hands, honing in on the elemental. "WooHoo!" she yelled as it hit home, Enkou staring angrilly at her. The next moment she had been pinned to the ground, her arms blistering under the heat.
"And I'm not even close to as hot as the sun, Miss." Enkou said angrilly, preparing to finish the game with a blast from his mouth.
Usagi shut her eyes in preparation for his last move. The earth was doomed, she had been too self dependant, and her she was, dead. Usagi opened her eyes, the blast had never come. She stared into the bewildered eyes of her flaming adversary. "Huh?" she said, Enkou's flames had stopped flickering, he was paralyzed.
Usagi pushed him off, and began to kick his frozen body, a long line of curses sputtering from her mouth ones that would make Vegeta raise an eyebrow. She continued to rain on him with kicks and punches.
"Damn!" said a watching animal to his mate, "I reckon she knows him, Aush."
It was almost midday when Usagi had finally finished it with a Final Flash. He wouldn't walk again, or breathe for that matter. The half princess stumbled onwards, stopping, a ridge in her path. She picked up Forballa's power signature beyond that. She sank to a seated position.
"This is it Usagi. The big one. Kill him, save the universe." Usagi's face screwed up, "die, the world dies." She gulped and got up, "whether I'm ready or not Forballa, here I come!"
Stay tuned! The final episode of Satu will be published before the weekend is over, and that I solemnly swear. Well the epilouge'll take some time, but chapter 17 I'm starting right now!
Ja! ~TenshiHotaru
