A14: The Fight for Ki, chapter 4
Umi knew she was dreaming. Unfortunately, that was about all
she knew. Scenes surrounded her as her dream body floated above them.
"Don't be afraid." The strange woman's voice caught her
attention. She had a strange hairstyle, two buns on her head with
streamers of blond hair trailing down. She wore nothing but ribbons
that originated from something between her breasts. She was kneeling
down on rock, looking up at a man with green skin and hair an even
darker green.
"Pretty senshi in a sailor suit, I am Sailor Moon! On behalf of
the moon, we will punish you!" The strange speech was the next to catch
Umi's attention. The same girl from before stood in front of a group of
four other girls dressed similarly. They all leapt forward towards
something when the next scene interrupted it.
"Usagi you baka! You said you would be all right! You liar!"
The cry came from one of the girls that had been behind Sailor Moon
before. She was leaning over the streamer girl, along with all of the
others and a man in a tuxedo. She could see the earth in the
background, but her attention was drawn to the small group on the rock.
The girl that was on the ground was dead.
The scenes continued on for longer then Umi could remember.
Most of them involved the girl she knew to be Sailor Moon, or Usagi.
One of the few that did not involved the man Usagi had been looking up
at in the first scene. It also turned out to be one of the last.
Fiore fought through the torment that was his mind. The part of
him that now knew Mamoru had never left him was growing in power. He
knew the kisenian flower had been controlling his mind now.
Fiore's thoughts continued to flow into Umi's mind. She
listened and watched carefully as his scene continued.
As he fought, he suddenly felt a wave wash over him. Sailor
Moon was dead. He wasn't sure how he knew, but he did. His best
friend's love had died, because of him! He fought back harder now. He
had a way for the girl to be brought back to life, and it was the least
he could do to repay Mamoru for the friendship they had shared, and to
fix the damage he had done.
He was so close. He could see the mourning group over Sailor
Moon on what remained of the asteroid he had used. He smiled. He was in
enough control now. He moved to step forward, to give his flower of
life to Mamoru, so he could save Usagi. He was a step away from them,
when a blackness overtook him and he was swept away. He cried out in
his mind. He had to repair the damage done! What was preventing him
from doing so? He had to fight back, some...
Umi heard no more from his mind, though the scene, one of the
longest, continued. Blackness overtook the space Fiore had been moments
before.
"Now, we wait." New faces, ones she had not yet seen in the
visions, appeared now. A girl with shoulder length red hair, and a man
with short, blond hair. She recognized the man. He was Jadeite, Hino
Rei's husband. Over them was a darker figure, one she could not make
out, and over them all, was blackness that frightened her.
Her visions suddenly took a leap backward in time. She was back
on the rock now, with the sailor senshi mourning over Usagi's body. She
could see the girl she knew to be the moon princess leaving her body.
Her soul lifted above them all, and, startling the helpless watcher,
looked directly at her. Umi's dream eyes opened wide in shock as the
girl's soul smiled in a quiet understanding before lifting higher. She
seemed to be going on to the next world, when a dark wave stopped her.
The darkness that had been in the last vision, stopped off her escape.
But when Umi looked closer, she saw it had not just stopped off her
escape. Her soul had been caught in the middle of the wave.
Umi forced the only form she had here to go towards where the
problem was. There was a smug feeling coming from the darkness, and the
soul was crying in whatever pain a soul could feel. As Umi watched
helplessly, what had looked like a girl with streamers of hair down her
back, split into two. Two balls of light that flew back to earth.
The vision faded again, but Umi was still very shaken. She
wasn't sure what had happened in the last one, but it had frightened
her.
Somehow, she knew the next one was the last. She felt happy for
that, but she still felt like crying for the split of Usagi's soul. But
when the next vision developed, it was not a scene from the past like
she thought.
She saw Android 14 standing calmly, her eyes closed. There
seemed to be a brief overlap of the two, and Umi knew that 14 had taken
one part of Usagi's soul. But where the second part was still confused
her. Then another person appeared. It was the woman from the hallway
that day 14 had dropped! And the same overlapping happened to her.
That explained what Umi had seen that day. That reaching
whiteness that had been around the unconscious 14 and the woman who had
called for help.
The vision of the two woman flowed on, but they both changed.
14 slowly flowed into a form Umi knew had to be the Sailor Cosmos Goten
had told her about. The other woman went through two shifts. Her lips
turned up into the soft smile that reminded Umi so much of the
flashbacks she had seen of the Princess Serenity, as Serenity's dress
replaced the jeans and shirt the woman had been wearing before. Then,
as slowly as the last change had occurred, the determined grin Sailor
Moon had worn before, crossed her lips, as the sailor fuku replaced the
princess's dress.
"Are you sure she's okay, Bulma?" Goten asked nervously.
"For the millionth time, she's fine! She was probably just
overtired!" Bulma shouted, tired of Goten's endless worry. It was
sweet, but the one it was sweet to wasn't awake to enjoy it, and it was
getting on her nerves.
"Bulma-sama, I couldn't find the blood testing kit, but I found
everything else." Bulma smiled in relief as the young woman came back
into the room. The young Capsule Corp employee carried boxes and kits
in her arms, and Bulma could hardly see her face over them all.
"Thank you, Yukai. If you could set them down on the table
there, maybe we can get this insane man here to calm down," she said,
glaring at Goten. "I wanted to talk to you anyway about your role here
at Capsule Corp." As Yukai set the load down carefully, Bulma could see
the mixed worry and hope in her eyes. She chuckled quietly, shaking her
head, as she thought how the young woman conveyed so much through her
eyes.
"Bulma..." Goten's nervous voice interrupted Bulma's thoughts.
"Umi, please?"
"Goten, we'll run some tests on her to see why exactly she fell
asleep, but she's not in any life threatening danger right now. Go see
if they need your help downtown, for goodness sake. I haven't heard
anything since the camera crews were blown out. And see if you can find
out what happened to that woman you saw leave when you got here. She
said some name, then just flew out the window like everyone else,"
Bulma said as she started going through the kits and boxes on the
table. She heard Yukai gasp slightly and felt the rush of wind that she
sometimes felt when one of the guys was in a rush.
Umi began to open her eyes. She could hear two woman's voices
above her as the last of the visions faded away.
"Wait, it looks like she's waking up."
"Should we stop then, Bulma-sama?"
"Just Bulma, please. Yes, might as well." There was a pause,
during which Umi opened her eyes the rest of the way. "Welcome back,
Umi. You wouldn't believe how worried your boyfriend was. He nearly
drove me crazy before I kicked him out." Umi smiled, chuckling quietly.
"Sorry, Bulma. I'm alright now though."
"Gonna tell us what happened?" Umi opened her mouth to reply,
but no words came forth as the other woman came back from behind her
and into Umi's line of sight. Bulma looked at Umi, then back at the
woman, frowning, confused.
"Is something wrong? Umi, this is Yukai. She works for me."
"She's Sailor Moon." The woman introduced as Yukai appeared
even more confused then Bulma had.
"What?" Yukai said in a whisper.
"And Princess Serenity."
((Well, I WAS going to cut it off there, but with everyone
asking for longer chapters, and the fact that I SAID the senshi would
make an appearance in this chapter, I'll continue. But just for you
guys who review and are still reading this. This is my thanks for
sticking with the A14 story for so long!))
"What the hell is going on?! Why are they having better luck
then us?"
So far, the Z-fighters had had very bad luck against the
green-haired man in the city. Much to many of their embarrassment
though, the Sailor Senshi were having much better luck.
"Poison Kiss!" Venus shouted, the image of black lips flying
into and throwing the man back into a wall.
"Phoenix Strike!" The firebird flew from Mars's hands, and a
scream tore from the man's throat as he was consumed in flame.
"This is just embarrassing. And I plan on doing something about
it," Vegita said, grinning as he went super sayijin. Grass green eyes
met with emerald green through the flame that divided them. Vegita knew
he was being challenged, and the screaming had stopped, as if the one
on fire was waiting.
The flames finally died away, but none of the senshi did
anything. They saw Vegita power up, and the man they were attacking was
just standing there, waiting, maybe even preparing.
"Big Bang Attack!" Vegita cried out, the blast of ki flying for
the grinning man.
"NO!!" All but Vegita turned to see who had shouted so loudly,
moments after Vegita let loose his attack, so only Vegita was the one
to see why it was shouted. He watched, eyes widening, as his attack hit
the man, and seemed to be absorbed into his skin. The burn marks were
gone from his skin, only his clothes indicating that he had ever been
inside the sailor of Mars's attack.
When I woke up this morning, I knew I just had to write.
Believe it or not, this was all written in just one sitting! I've never
done a whole chapter all at once before. And I'm proud of this chapter
too!
More of the Sailor Senshi in the next chapter. And though it
looks like their attacks may be the only ones effective against this
guy, just keep reading. I promised someone at the end of Android 14
that this story would be more for the DBZ fighters. (Yah, I remember,
SSJ Nate. *grin*)
