[Author's Note - This one's important. READ!]
Ginzuishou is Japanese for the Imperial Silver Crystal; if you
didn't know or just watched the dub. Also, there had been some
complications about time. In Sailor Moon, when something happens
in the past, it is reflected in the future. In other words, all
times are equivalent. But in Dragonball Z, when Future Trunks
returned to the past, the destiny of the Z warriors in that specific
time zone changed, but in Future Trunks' own time, everybody but
him were still killed by the androids. Personally, I think that's
not right. So I'm using Sailor Moon's time scheme. Remember that!
I don't know the exact years in the Dragonball Z world, so they're
made up. (After all, the time has to go with the story!) More
information on this in future chapters. So don't worry! Oh, yeah.
Since Mamoru doesn't exist, Sailor Moon characters in this story
have a quite different past than the real story, so don't be
alarmed if you see something different. And as for pairing them up
for romance? Hmm, well just read the story and find out. I'm not
intending to follow anybody's idea or anything. To be honest, I
don't even know yet. I'm just going to let the story flow and see
where it leads me. ^_^
--------------------
Chapter Two - A Millenium Ago
"Why is time space so colorful?" Usagi asked as they flowed slowly,
"I thought it was that yucky purplish-gray color."
"Beats me." Minako replied, "Things have been bizarre since this
morning."
"First I get up too early, and then I thought I was supposed to go
to school. Come to think it, I think I even sort of... looked forward
to it! Now, look! I'm back to being an eight-year-old!"
"I guess we are more energetic at this age."
"Yeah..." Usagi nodded sadly, wondering if she had thrown half of her
life away.
* * * * * * * * * *
They flowed aimlessly through time, surrounded by the endless color
patterns of rainbow. Not knowing where they were headed for nor where
they were. Minute by minute, their minds were regressing back to a
youth stage. Neither was scared even a bit. Rather, a fire of adventure
lit inside their young souls.
The time space was a truly horrifying dimension. Places where one can
actually see beyond a foot or two were scarce. How vast was it? No one
knew. But there was one fact that everyone must behold if they insist
on traveling through this space.
And that is, unfortunately, if lost inside, one may never escape the
wrath of time ever again.
For that reason, the girls were being extra careful, yet they disallowed
the fact to ruin their journey.
"At this rate, we'll never find it!" Minako complained.
"Let's split up." Usagi suggested, "If it gets too late, just go home."
"Ok."
* * * * * * * * * *
Two hours later, the two were still floating around in time space.
Eventually, they had bumped into each other once again.
"Are we going in circles?" Usagi screamed, irritated.
"I don't know, but I'm about to die of exhaustion!" Minako replied.
"Is Setsuna even sure that stupid rod is in here? What if it fell
into another era of time?"
Minako thought about that for awhile. The possibility of such a case
hasn't yet occurred to her.
"Yes!" Minako suddenly cried, eyes gleaming, "That's it! It must be!"
Usagi scowled. "Then how are we ever going to find it?"
"We go into the eras! It's gotta be somewhere, right? Plus, it makes
a good excuse to travel! We might as well enjoy this unexpected trip!"
Usagi nods, agreeing. It would be a good excuse. After all, Setsuna
did not seem TOO worried about time. And since Luna and Artemis have
their crescent moons covered, there shouldn't be much left to worry
about.
"Well, let's go! I saw a portal exit back over there!" Usagi smiled,
pointing into space, although they were unable to see anything in
the thick rainbow fog.
"Where does it lead to?"
"Who cares? I just want to get out of this place."
"Me, too."
So they traced their steps backward to find the exit.
Amazingly enough, there wasn't just one exit. There were several of
them, each having a different swirl of color off of the rainbow, as
if it had been torn into pieces. The fog seemed even thicker on the
other side, but not that they could really see much.
"Seven exits! I thought you said 'an exit'!" Minako exclaimed.
"Well, from far away, it looked like one."
"Which one are we supposed to go into?"
The girls looked around and peeked into the portals, wondering which
one leads to where.
"Wasn't there just one exit when we first gone off to the 30th
century?" Usagi asked, suddenly remembering the ruins. It made
her heart sink a bit.
"All I know is that your ginzuishou led us..."
Usagi took out the ginzuishou; amazed that she had it with her.
It wasn't glimmering now.
"Hmm."
"I wouldn't mind going to the Silver Millenium again." Usagi whispered
solemnly.
Minako nods, understanding how Usagi feels about the fallen Moon
Kingdom. They've only heard the story once, and it was not the whole
story. Luna seemed somewhat subtle when she told it. There's something
hidden away in her heart that she apparently didn't wish to share with
anyone. Not even Usagi.
"I wanna check out the future and ask Neo Queen Serenity about the
garnet rod." Minako finally stated after a moment of silence. Of course,
shopping in the 30th century doesn't sound bad at all, she thought.
"So how are we supposed to know which color is correct?" Minako asked
while Usagi was still deep in thoughts.
The ginzuishou began shimmering then.
"Any door leads to where your heart desires." Usagi replied in an
extremely calm voice, not realizing what she had just said. Was her
future form taking over yet again? ...Just like the battle against
Wiseman. It seemed like yesterday... She still remembers clearly how
calm and placid she felt during that fierce battle. A rush of
courage had flooded right through her weakened body... giving her
strength to save the others...
Neo Queen Serenity, please return to me! A shaking voice came from
the bottom of her heart.
She needed courage.
"Okay. Come on." Minako's high-pitched young voice brought Usagi
back to reality. She watched as Minako nodded bravely and slowly
walked over to the orange portal, heart pounding a mile a minute.
She was both excited and scared, wondering what to expect. Would
this portal really take her to the 30th century? She didn't know.
"Do you have your senshi communicator with you?" Usagi asked
hesitantly, still gripping the bright locket containing her most
treasured item.
"Yes."
"Call me if you need any help..."
"We have to meet back here tonight, okay?"
"Yeah, okay."
"Our parents might be worried."
"Wait a minute! We can't let them see us like this! They'll freak
out!"
After many, many last minute instructions to each other, they
finally said goodbye and left for their own desired timeframe.
Both were telling themselves that there is nothing to worry about.
They've agreed that as soon as one finds the rod, they'd return
home immediately. It was not going to be a hard job. Or, at least,
they presumed it wasn't going to be.
Carefully, Usagi stepped into the purple portal.
"Silver Millenium, Silver Millenium!" She whispered to herself,
concentrating all her thoughts on getting into the right era. She
blocked all negative feedback from her exasperated brain and
imagined herself running up to her mother on the beautifully
decorated silver cement in front of the magnificent Moon Kingdom.
And there stood Queen Serenity with open arms...
Not much later, she was out of the maze of time. The brightness
of the sun blinded her for a brief moment before she realized
that she was standing on land. Where? She didn't know. But she
was somewhere with a solid ground, which is always a good sign.
Green meadow was all she could see. It was endless with occasional
trees and hills. Birds chirped happily as they flew by above her.
It was such a beautiful place.
Beep. Beep.
Usagi took out her communicator and found a smiling Minako on
the other end. Her face was red with excitement and she seemed
out of breath.
"I'm in Crystal Tokyo! Everything's so cool! So where are you
now? Did you make it to the Silver Millenium?" She asked in
a quick pace.
"I'm not sure." Usagi replied, looking around. "This place is
peaceful and I don't see any buildings nearby. I'll have to go
up to the moon tonight... I hope I can see my mother up there."
"Well, good luck, Usagi-chan! See you tonight!" Minako grinned
and hang up.
Happiness was contagious. Confidence grew as Usagi walked through
what seemed like a green paradise. That dirty smell of gasoline
and other pollutants were nonexistent here. Just a purified, serene
land of hope.
Usagi walked and walked, looking for a person or two so she could
ask for the year. But all she saw was the pleasant greenness. She
considered transforming into Sailor Moon and fly, but decided against
that thought. Even in this era, keeping her identity and powers a
secret was important.
Little did she know, there were others here with supernatural
strength greater than she could imagine.
* * * * * * * * * *
"Wait, Goten. I think I sense a strange ki." Said a boy dressed
in forest green training gi with a black colored belt wrapped
tightly around his waist.
"I did, too. It's friendly but it isn't like anything I've felt
before." Replied another boy wearing identical training gi as
the other, only brightly colored in orange with a black sleeved
undershirt.
"It's coming this way."
The boys saw Usagi about the same time she noticed them. Good!
Finally, some people! She rejoiced, just a minute ago, she thought
this world must be prehistoric or something.
"Hi!" She shouted, waving to them.
"Hi!" They yelled back.
Usagi ran towards them, getting a closer look. There were two
kids. One had odd spiky black hair and looked totally innocent,
while the other had lavender hair with a rather stern look on
his face. Arms crossed, he was scrutinizing Usagi up and down.
Both of their clothing was torn here and there, like they'd been
in a terrible fight.
"Where are you from?" The spiky-haired boy spoke first.
"Um..." Usagi thought for a second, then replied, "Far away."
"Oh." Luckily, Goten didn't seem to be suspicious at her odd
response.
"I'm... lost." She added slowly, "Do you know what year it is?"
The boy with lavender hair narrowed his eyes, frowning.
"1014?" Goten suggested cluelessly.
Perfect! Usagi couldn't help but smile. She was in the right
era. Dimly in the northern sky, she could see the almost white,
half moon.
Tonight, she would go visit her mother.
"Thanks!" She nodded to Goten. "What are your names? I'm Usagi."
"I'm Goten!" Said the innocent one.
"Trunks." The other one offered as his frown slowly turned into
a grin.
Usagi grinned back at them. People of the Silver Millenium era
were polite and friendly.
"You're lost, right? You can come to my house and my mom can help
you." Trunks offered eagerly, putting his guest's "strange ki" away
for later investigation. Honestly, all his life he spent playing with
Goten and no other children. They all avoided him since that day
he beat up a kid twice as old as he was with one punch.No one wanted
to be his friend.
"Thanks. Where do you live?" Usagi happily accepted his offer,
hoping for find any bit of information about the garnet rod.
"There." Trunks pointed. Usagi did not see anything.
"Where?" Usagi put a hand over her forehead and squinted, blocking
out the sunlight.
"That house over there."
"Umm... Okay?" She still couldn't see anything, but decided to go along
anyway.
"Can you fly?" Goten suddenly blurted out. Trunks gave him an evil eye.
Goten always forget that they must keep their part saiya-jin status a
secret.
Surprised, Usagi wondered what she would answer him. Did he know that
she was different? Did he know that she bore strange powers unknown to
the rest of the world?
"Uh... he was just kidding." Trunks explained, "He likes to ask people
that."
"Oh." Replied Usagi, relieved. Neither child knew what the other was
thinking.
So they ended up walking for two hours to Capsule Corp.
