By: AnthyRose



Hi!! Thanks for all the reviews!! They made me feel good!!!!!! (^_^)
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or Dragonball Z. They belong to Naoko Takeuchi and Akira Toriyama.




Usagi screamed. This Youma was much faster than the first few she'd fought previously in her short life as Sailor Moon.
"Luna help me!!!!," She wailed tearfully, dodging some wooden crates and the dark energy that emitted from the monster.

"Usagi stay calm!" the tiny black cat instructed. "Use your tiara!"

"Oh Yeah!" Luna rolled her eyes.

Usagi spun on her heels.

"What gives you the right to terrorize these people? You've drained your last victim, you negasleaze!!"

"Oh brother.....here it comes.." Luna muttered.

Usagi jabbed her hand in the air, signaling the introduction to her speech.

"I am Sailor Moon, the Champion of Justice! I will right wrongs and triumph over evil, and in the name of the moon....I'll punish you!"

The monster laughed.

Usagi was steamed. The speech was her favorite part...how DARE it make fun of her?!

"Hey! Just what's so funny?!"

Instead of answering, the monster's arms turned into tentacles and began to drain the girl.

"SAILOR MOON!" Luna leapt atop the youma and began to bite and claw viciously in an attempt to free her.

"Stupid beast!" The youma screamed, knocking the cat into a wall. Usagi struggled.

"This youma....it's so much STRONGER than the rest...," Luna gasped trying to catch her breath.

"L-Luna!" the girl cried out weakly.

"Sailor Moon!! Be strong!" Luna shouted desperately.
It was too early...much to soon for Usagi to be faced with such a feat. And this youma...It was much more powerful than the others. Luna shook her head. No time for that now!

'I have to help Usagi!' she thought determently.

The cat stood shakily and prepared to leap once again upon the youma. But someone - someTHING - beat her to it. A bright yellow beam cut through the monster, completely disintegrating it's tentacle arms.

Usagi immediately collapsed in a heap.

The youma looked furiously around for the source of the blast. Luna gasped.
"Oh! It's Tuxedo Mask!, " the girl murmured drowsily.

"No, it's not!," the cat countered.

"It's not?"

Her eyes opened wide. There, not five yards away, stood a young man, barely past boyhood. The first thing she noticed about him was his ebony hair....it defied gravity! It stuck out in all angles, hung in his face, precariously close to his eyes. His eyes were framed by thick equally dark twin eyebrows. And his wide dark eyes were filled with emotion as he stared intently at the monster.
His arms were muscled, as if he worked out, but not overly so. He wore a bright orange gi. 'The kind those karate people wear,' mused the Usagi absently. He seemed tense....but at the same time calm. The kind of calm that came with experience......Luna immediately became suspicious. Suddenly the man shot forward, slamming the surprised youma into a wall and shocking both onlookers.

Usagi, for once, was speechless.

Luna was the first to recover from her shock. "Now Sailor Moon!!" the cat shouted.

"Right!"

Thoughts of the mysterious stranger were put on hold as Usagi removed her tiara, concentrating the power into a small diskus. She spun around once, twice, gathering energy. Suddenly she took up a stance, and winding back her arm, released the energy shouting, "Moon tiara magic!!"
Her aim was deadly accurate. With a cry, the hideous youma was reduced to dust.

"Moon dusted!", the girl cried proudly. Luna sighed in relief.

They suddenly remembered the stranger, who was calmly surveying the scene with interest. "Are you alright?" he asked.
Sailor moon blushed and nodded. This guy was a major hunkster!

"Thats an interesting way of fighting." he observed. His voice sounded friendly and open.

Sailor Moon beamed.

"But don't you think it takes to long for you to power up? And all that spinning...doesn't it just waste time?"

She flushed with anger. Who was this guy?! Didn't he know who she was? She was the Champion of Justice! She was Sailor Moon!

"And didn't I just hear your kitty talk?"

"WHAT?!!"

Uh oh....what to do?! He'd heard Luna! Usagi snuck a peek down at the black cat. Luna looked terrified. Usagi picked her up. "Um....no.....ugh......you musta been hearing things.....by the way thanks for saving us who are you?", she asked in a rush in hopes of diverting his attention.
"I'm Goku!," He answered, a goofy grin on his face. Usagi thought he was unbelievably cute.

"What's your name?" he asked curiously.

"WHAT??!!!" Usagi shrieked. Luna winced. The girl could burst an eardrum.
"You mean....you've never HEARD of me??" He shook his head sheepishly.

'Oh no...not again...' Luna thought irritably.

"I'm the Champion of Justice....I'm Sailor Moon!!!"

Goku only stared.

"Y'know...I right wrongs....and triumph over evil....and stuff.............." She trailed off. He was clueless.
Luna suddenly meowed loudly, glaring at the girl. If Usagi wasn't careful, she'd give away everything. Besides that, Luna was getting weird vibes from this guy.

Usagi got the message. "Um....nice to meet you, Mr. Goku-san!!," she yelled. Then she hopped out of a nearby window, followed by the glaring black cat, and was gone.

Goku stared after the young pigtailed girl. She was strange. And he could have sworn he'd heard that Cat talk. In fact, he was sure of it. ' And Sailor Moon....what kind of fighter are you?,' he wondered to himself. He had never seen anyone charge up a weapon before. 'Sailor Moon,' he thought. He was sure they'd meet again. He jumped out the warehouse window and flew into the night.

***************

From a nearby corner, a pair of masked eyes surveyed the previous events. 'Who is this guy?,' he thought. ' And he can fly too?!!! Doesn't he know that I protect Sailor Moon?' With this thought, the masked man, clad in a cape and tuxedo, disapeared into the shadows.
***************

In another area, someone else had also been watching. "So," he said. "It seems Miss Moon has gotten herself another accomplish." He laughed softly to himself. "No matter.....the Negaverse shall prevail."
Then he vanished, Leaving to report to Queen Beryl.
