Hello minna!!!!!! I'm back with another chapter. I was kind of dreading writing this just because of the fight scene, and you know I'm not that experienced. Well in order to get good I must try, ne? I'm really sorry if this turns out bad (because it has a good chance to) but I will try my hardest to have it not suck. I'm happy though, I have a four day weekend coming up. That means that I might get more than one chapter out. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once again, thanks to all the people who reviewed my story. And thanks MK-chan for the help with Goten, but I'm not going to put him in this story, because it's almost over, but he will show up in a future story. Well on to what you really came here to read... THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disclaimer : I do not own Sailor Moon or Dragon Ball Z. (If you try to sue me or anything, you'll have to go through the trials of Ra-chan's World. Trust me when I say you don't want to do that.)
Rebuilding a Broken Soul
Chapter 9
~*~ Last Time ~*~
"Now, now," said Altus. "I can't let anyone interfere with Juno's fun. She won't be too happy then. I'm afraid you will not be able to be joining the fight today. Let me tell you a little story. Once upon a time there were seven fighters who opposed the all powerful Hecate. With a snap of the fingers..."
Altus snapped his fingers, and there was an explosion right where the Z fighters were standing. Goku and Vegeta were able to avoid from getting hurt, however the other Z fighters were not so lucky. Yamcha, Tien, Krillen, and Chaotsu all lay on the ground injured from the blast.
"Most of the fighters fell, and then there were three," said Altus.
Serena was pissed off that he would attack them so heartlessly. She teleported to right behind Altus and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Excuse me," said Serena. "But I think you mean four."
And with that, Serena punched Altus in the face, hard. Altus flew backwards from the blow.
"Well, well," said Celeste. "It seems the princess has finally learned to help herself instead of relying entirely on others. Too bad it won't help you at all."
"Let the fight begin!" said Astral.
~*~ This Time ~*~
"But who should fight who?" asked Breeze.
"The numbers are in our favor princess," said Astral. "If you give up now, I can guarantee that most of your friends will go unharmed."
"Just try me!" Serena said.
Serena lunged at both Astral and Breeze. Because of the suddenness of the attack, Breeze and Astral were caught off guard. This gave Serena an advantage but for only a short period of time. That's all she really needed though, for those two were two of the weaker ones. Serena knew better than to think that they would go down so quick though. Astral and Breeze got knocked onto the ground of Kami's lookout. They got up with an extremely pissed off look on their face.
"You really shouldn't have done that princess," said Breeze while getting up slowly. "Because now, I'M MAD!"
Breeze charged towards Serena. The two were fighting it out, while Astral got up. She charged up an energy attack and threw it at the two fighters. Breeze sensed it coming before Serena, partly because it was her teammate who had thrown it. She grabbed Serena's wrist and swung her around to throw her straight into the blast. Serena was hit right in the back. She withheld a scream of pain. She would under no circumstances show that she was weak.
Goku started to fight with Celeste, and Vegeta was fighting against Altus. Juno and Gohan were also still going at it, but the victory was starting to lean towards Gohan.
"You look like you're getting tired," said Gohan. "We can take a break if you need one."
"You wouldn't be mentioning it if you didn't need one," retorted Juno.
There fight seemed like it would never end. Juno would punch, and Gohan would block. Then Gohan would try a kick, and Juno would dodge. It was during this stalemate that Serena was hit by Astral's blast. Gohan stared at her in shock for a moment. Juno took advantage of this and knocked Gohan into the lookout. She was speeding down to give him another blow when Gohan erupted with a new power. He turned around at sent a huge energy attack at Juno. It traveled too fast for her to be able to dodge it. Juno's tattered body fell to the lookout.
Gohan didn't even look to see if Juno was dead or not. He only had one thing on his mind. Serena. *Please may she be okay!!* thought Gohan, as he hurried to her aid. The blast had greatly weakened her and having to defend herself against two people was causing her ki to drop faster than is should have been.
"Two against one isn't very fair," said Gohan. "Care to even the odds?"
Gohan didn't even bother to wait for a reply. He charged straight at Breeze, who seemed to be fairing better than Astral. *Serena can handle one.* Breeze and Gohan were engaged in a fierce battle, but Gohan was only playing with her. He wanted to give the impression that they were going to win, but then crush them. Gohan let a couple of Breeze's icy ki blasts hit him. He crashed into the lookout. A smug grin came onto Breeze's face. When the dust cleared, there was no sign of Gohan anywhere. The smirk on her face immediately disappeared into one of confusion and shock.
"Looking for me?" asked Gohan from behind Breeze.
"What?" shouted Breeze in astonishment. "But you were caught in the blast!"
"Yes I was, but do you really think that a pitiful blast like that could get rid of me?"
Gohan got knocked in the back of the head by Juno.
"You know you really shouldn't leave an opponent until you know they're dead."
"Thanks for the advice, I'll remember it."
Gohan started to go against both Juno and Breeze, but soon Breeze was on the ground unconscious. Juno was going down as well. It didn't take long before she was on the ground along side of her icy partner.
Thanks to Gohan's intervention, Serena regained control of her battle. The energy blast Astral had hit Serena with had taken a lot of energy out of her. Serena was royally pissed off that she was unable to dodge the attack. Heck, she was pissed off at the whole situation. This was between her and Hecate, and all of her new friends had been dragged into the battle with her. Even Bulma and Chichi who couldn't even fight.
As Serena became more and more angry, her ki began to rise. Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta, who had all beaten their opponents but were merely playing with them now, turned their attention to Serena. She had a huge silver aura glowing around her. It wasn't a blinding light, but a soft glowing light that seemed warm. She was beating Astral senseless. Gohan left Juno to moan in her pain and flew over to Serena.
"Umm... Serena, I think you can stop now," said Gohan.
"Huh?" said Serena. She looked down and saw Astral's body. It was bloody and the life was almost completely out of her.
"Well, well. It looks like you were able to defeat my idiot minions with not much of a problem. I knew they were pitiful, but even I thought they would put up a better fight."
Hecate suddenly appeared. She didn't look like she was evil. She had very pale whitish skin. It contrasted with the black pants and black shirt she was wearing. Her hair was a grayish color. A mix of pitch black and a soft moonlight color. It was half up in a ponytail, and it only reached to about her shoulders. She wore diamond earrings.
"Hecate," said Serena with complete disdain.
"I'm glad to finally meet you princess. I've been waiting a long time."
"Likewise. Give up now Hecate, I won't tolerate anyone trying to hurt my friends anymore."
"Well then, let's say that this battle is just between the two of us."
"Agreed."
"Good. Then let me get rid of the distractions."
Hecate fired a ki blast at each of the three other warriors. Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan fell to the ground. They were still conscious but barely. Serena only watched in shock.
"That was all too easy. I do hope you'll provide more amusment princess."
The anger was beginning to swell within in Serena. She attacked them for absolutely no reason. They understood it was her battle. *WHY?!?!!?* her mind screamed *That was completely heartless!* Serena's ki was on the rise, and it didn't seem like it was going to stop anytime soon. The silver aura blazed around Serena.
*So this must be the power I sensed in the Room of Spirit and Time.* thought Gohan. *I've only seen it for a split second but it was incredible.*
~*~ F L A S H B A C K ~*~
"Come on Serena, is that all you've got?" said Gohan.
"You want more? Than come and get it," Serena shouted back.
Serena lunged towards Gohan with a renewed energy. It still wasn't enough though. She was no match for him. *I must make her stronger. I'm sorry Serena but what I'm about to do is for the best.*
"This is pathetic, you won't be able to help anyone with this measly power."
Serena's ki rose a little bit more.
"Everyone will end up getting hurt or even killed if you can't get stronger. Than we will have to try and cover you, leaving others behind to get hurt. Is that what you really want? To let us all die?"
"No," Serena whispered. "NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
A silver aura blazed around her for about a minute before she collapsed onto the ground in exhaustion.
~*~ E N D F L A S H B A C K ~*~
*That's the same aura.* thought Gohan. *It's incredible.*
"Princess," said Hecate, "I never knew you had it in you. Too bad it won't be enough to help any of your friends."
Of course that was the wrong word to mention. Enemies by now should have realized insulting Serena's friends would lead to their ultimate demise.
The aura around Serena grew, and she said, "You're wrong Hecate. It is your turn to die now. This is for everyone of the people you've hurt."
