Tears of Cosmos- Chapter 3
Disclaimer: Neither Sailor Moon nor Dragonball Z/GT belongs to me. If they did, these chapters would actually be episodes, which would have so kewl! ^_~. This is dedicated to all my online chans!
Author's Notes: Hi minna-chan! Gomen for the long delay for this chapter, demo I didn't have a computer all summer long. *glares at pc* Mine broke down so it had to get repaired, and it took all summer cuz it was done by family friend, and you know how when that happens you're put on the bottom of their 'things to do list'.

***********************************
Trunks gazed down at the girl in his arms with something akin to awe in his eyes. He couldn't fathom how such an innocent, gorgeous girl could have that much power or that intense amount of sadness that she had held in her eyes. It wasn't right. No one should know that degree of sadness, of pain.
'I wonder who she is, and those girls… who were they? And that shadow creature called her princess… is she royalty from another planet like tousan? Demo, that doesn't explain how she is a Saiyajin. This tenshi is going to have a lot of questions to answer when she wakes up, though it wouldn't surprise me in the least if she was a princess or a tenshi,' thought Trunks.
He stared at her face, for the first time noticing the white eight-pointed star on her forehead. ' I wonder what that symbol is. I guess that's one more question of the many I have to ask," thought Trunks as he increased his speed as his destination of Capsule Corporation came into view. Gently, he landed on the front lawn, and was followed almost immediately by the Z-senshi landing beside him. He hadn't even noticed that they had followed him.
"Trunks, come with me and we'll put her in the regeneration tank. She took a bad beating in that battle," ordered Bulma as she made her way into the dome-shaped building, with Trunks and the other senshi following behind closing. When they reached the tank, Trunks carefully placed Usagi into the tank as Bulma hooked her up to it before activating it, causing a green liquid to flow around her. Trunks stared at her for a moment her, her hair and dress fanned out around her, causing her to look incredibly small and delicate. "I wonder who she is," said Bulma as she regarded Usagi with curious eyes.
"She could be an enemy. Is this wise to keep her here?" asked Piccolo, as he looked at Usagi a suspicious gaze, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"I think we can," said Goku. "She saved Bra and the rest of us for that matter from that thing. It's obvious she's here to help, and besides, I don't know how, demo I can sense the goodness in her."
"I agree. If she wanted to hurt or cause us problems, she would have done so and just let us die against that creature," Gohan added in support of what his father said.
"We'll have to wait a while to find the answers, minna. She's going to be in the tank for a few days at least," commented Bulma as she stepped away from the tank and picked Bra up. "Come on, there is nothing else to do but wait. Let's go have something to eat."
"FOOD!" exclaimed Goku as he followed Bulma while drooling at the thought of food.
"Humph, baka Kakarot," Vegeta sneered as he watched the other Saiyajin's retreat before turning to the other senshi. " I am going to train for this new enemy and I suggest you bakas do the same." Vegeta turned and left the room followed Piccolo, Gohan and Goten.
"You coming Trunks?" Goten asked as he regarded his friend staring at the imprisoned girl.
"Hai, I'm coming," replied Trunk as he gave Usagi one last glance before following Goten out the door.
********************************
Late in the night, Vegeta awoke, cursing as a loud, insistent beeping rang throughout the Capsule Corp. home, waking him and the rest of the household. "Where the hell is that infernal beeping coming form?" growled Vegeta as he followed the sound of the beeping, with his family trailing closely behind him. 'That sounds like it's coming from okaasan's lab, where that girl is,' thought Trunks as his brow furrowed and he began to quicken his pace, passing his father as he broke out into a run.
Louder and louder the beeping became as Trunks sped through the many hallways of the domed house, until he reached Bulma's lab. Cautiously he entered, as if expecting a surprise attack, but what he saw stopped him dead in his tracks. There before him was his tenshi in the tank. Only instead of calm, healing liquid surrounding her, it was whirling around her in a violent torrent as dim purple glow bathed her body.
"Otousan, what's happening to her?" Bra asked as she grasped her father's hand tightly. Bulma rushed to the control panel and began to type madly as she studied the monitor with confused eyes. " Nani?" she breathed out, stepping back from, the regeneration tank, a look of surprise on her face.
"What is it Onna?" growled Vegeta in annoyance.
"I don't know how, but she's healing herself," answered Bulma in a bewildered tone. "It's like Saiyajin healing abilities except magnified. She's somehow also using her ki to heal her injuries."
Suddenly, the purple glow disappeared and the liquid settled, as if nothing had ever happened. Slowly, the girl's sapphire eyes began to flutter open, piercing the sky-blue eyes of the young lavender-haired Saiyajin before her. Her eyes suddenly became wide with fright as her eyes darted around her surroundings. A blinding white ki enveloped her body as she shut her eyes in fear.
"Iie! She's going to destroy the tank! Let's get out of here!" yelled Bulma as she pulled up Bra and ran out of the room. Vegeta and Trunks, however, stood their ground as rays of ki engulfed the tank before it exploded. Both Trunks and Vegeta raised their ki to shield them as debris went flying around the lab, piercing walls and cracking floors. Green liquid washed upon the floor, mixed with shards of glass and metal and in the center of all the debris was Usagi, her feet resting on the only clear spot in the lab. Usagi stared at both Trunks and Vegeta with both curious, yet suspicious eyes until a sudden scream was heard.
"IIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!! The tank!!! That took me months to build!!! And my lab!!!" cried Bulma as she ran into the room with Bra and regarded the damage done to her precious sanctuary with horrified eyes.
"Gomen ne," whispered Usagi, still dripping wet from the tank's liquid, casting her eyes to the ground. "I'll fix it."
"And just how are you going to do that?" asked Bulma in an angry tone.
Closing her eyes, Usagi summoned her staff into her hands. Suddenly the staff began to glow and another staff seemed to shadow over it. It was purple and shaped as a key, with a heart shaped top with a garnet gem sphere in the center. The room was suddenly bathed in a gentle glow and the pieces of the tank sudden flew to Usagi, orbiting her like the moon to the sun. Even the droplets of liquid surrounded her.
"Onegai," they heard her whisper, her eyes shutting tightly. "Onegai, reverse the time of this machine, take it back to the way it was before." Like hitting the rewind button on a video, the pieces came together, putting itself together like a puzzle. In just a few seconds, the tank was whole again, not a drop of liquid lost, not one screw missing. Everyone stared at the tank in shock before turning their gaze to Usagi, disbelief and amazement evident in their eyes. Usagi cast her eyes to the ground.
"Gomen nasai for what I did. I'll go now," she whispered in a low voice and turned to the door until she came in contact with a hard body that suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Onegai, don't go," requested Trunks as he gazed down at Usagi, who was looking at him curiously.
"Hai, don't go. I apologize for yelling like that. Please stay," added Bulma stepping up beside her son. Usagi gazed at them and then silently nodded her nodded her head, her gaze once again shifting to the floor.
"Come on, you must be hungry," Bulma commented as she grabbed Usagi's hand and guided her to the kitchen with Trunks, Vegeta and Bra following closely. When they reached the kitchen, Bulma quickly made some tea for herself and Usagi.
"Don't mean to sound rude, demo who are you people?" Usagi asked and she turned her attention away from her tea and onto Bulma.
"Oh gomen! I'm Bulma. That's my son, Trunks, and my daughter, Bra, and that arrogant jackass there is my husband Vegeta," replied Bulma, indicating each person with a small motion of her hand.
"That's Vegeta no Ouji to you, brat," Vegeta retorted, glaring at Bulma who only smirked.
"Nice to meet you all, Bulma-san, Trunks-san, Vegeta-sama, Bra-chan," said Usagi as she offered each a smile of greeting.
"So now that you know who we are, who are you? Where do you come from? I don't think you're a native of Chuyiku," Bulma once again turned her attention to Usagi and eyed the white eight-pointed star on Usagi's forehead. Usagi mentally sighed and looked down into her tea, her eyes becoming sorrowful.
"My name is Tsukino Usagi. I was… am a senshi to a place that no longer exists, destroyed by that monster Chaos," Usagi stated bitterly.
"Is that who you were fighting?" Bra asked, her eyes displaying her curiosity. Usagi had to smile. 'She reminds me so much of Chibi-Usa.'
"Hai, that was Chaos," answered Usagi, but as she looked around her she could tell everyone wanted a further explanation. Usagi mentally sighed, not wanting to remember her painful past, let alone retelling it.
"Let me start from the beginning. A thousand years ago, in an alternative dimension of this galaxy, all the planets had life and lived in harmony in an alliance known as the Silver Millennium. Ruled by my okaasan, Queen Serenity of the White Moon Kingdom, I was the only heir to the throne Serenity no hime, or tsuki no hime. Everyone was happy, except those on earth. They could not join since they had dark magic on their world and weren't trusted by the other planets of the alliance. Demo, that didn't stop me from falling in love with the crown prince of Earth, Prince Endymion." No one noticed the scowl that suddenly marred Trunks' face, nor the jealousy flashed briefly in his eyes.
"Our love was both smiled and frowned upon. It was seen as a way to end the wars and suffering of Earth by having us marry and creating an alliance between the Earth and Moon through marriage. However, many people of Earth didn't trust the Moon Kingdom and vice versa, both thinking one was not worthy of the other. When Endy and I announced our engagement, peace was finally achieved, demo it was not to last.
Earth was suddenly under great peril. A dark and evil force known as the Dark Kingdom attacked Earth, gaining troops by brainwashing the innocent and turning them into demons, and killing all those who were strong enough not to fall under its dark magic. Then, true disaster struck. My kingdom was attacked by the Negaverse, led by Queen Beryl who was in love with Endymion and had turned to the Dark Kingdom for the power to get revenge against me.
The attack was so sudden that we didn't even have a chance to defend ourselves. My inner court and best friends, the princesses of Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter, were the first to perish in the attack. Next was my outer court, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn. The Kingdom nearly was destroyed in a matter of minutes and I could do nothing but watch what my foolishness had cost my kingdom.
Then, Beryl appeared before me. She would have killed me then and there if it hadn't been for Endymion who sacrificed his life to save me. However, in the end, I didn't want to picture life without him so I killed myself. My Okaasan used the ginzuishou, an heirloom handed down from queen to queen and the most powerful weapon of the Moon Kingdom, to seal away the Dark Kingdom and allow my love, my court and I to be reborn in the future to find happiness. Because of me, my Okaasan lost her life and my people and kingdom were destroyed," whispered Usagi with tears streaming down her face. Bra climbed onto Usagi's lap and wiped her tears away with her small hand. Usagi smiled in response, gently stroking Bra's hair in comfort and gratitude.
"For fourteen wonderful years, I had the normal life I had always wanted, only having school to worry about. That is, until the Dark Kingdom was awakened. My neko and advisor from the Silver Millennium, Luna, who had the ability to talk, found me, demo not as the princess, but as the senshi of love and justice Sailor Moon. Fighting with my senshi by my side, we managed to protect the world from the evil, discover I was the princess, and find my prince once again. When we defeated Chaos the first time, who posessed the body of a fellow senshi Galaxia who was from another galaxy. She had tried to save everyone by trapping Chaos in her body, demo
Chaos was too strong. Gradually she lost control of her body until Chaos was in complete control. Chaos then traveled to my world, looking for the starseed of another galaxy princess, Princess Fireball, and to also gain more starseeds for its power."
Before Usagi could continue, Bra interrupted, her curiosity peaked. "What's a starseed?"
"A starseed is someone's soul brought into a physical form. Without it, the person becomes a phage or youma, unable to control what it does and under Chaos' control and were much more powerful than the youma we had fought in the past, demo with Chaos came new senshi to help us; the senshi of princess Fireball, the Starlights. We fought the youma and Chaos' minions, until the final battle against Chaos came. One by one my senshi fell, losing their lives to protect me, until only the Starlights and I were left to fight. Chaos and I then faced off, demo I couldn't bring myself to kill her because I knew somewhere in there Sailor Galaxia was there, that it was just Chaos controlling her. In the end, I managed to drive Chaos don't of her, and get my friends back . The Starlights and their princess returned to their home planet to rebuild and the earth finally had peace, demo it wasn't to last. Exactly one year later, Chaos returned, only this time in it's true form. My senshi and I tried to stop it, demo it was too strong and slowly all the world was plunged into darkness, until only my senshi, my beloved, and myself were left. One by one my senshi died for me again, losing their starseeds and lives protecting me, demo instead of their starseeds joining Chaos, they went into me, because they loved me so much they were able to break away its spell. When they did that, they gave me their power; power from each planet of the solar system and the elements. With their gifts I changed from Sailor moon to Sailor Cosmos, guardian of the universe, forever destined to stand alone.
When Chaos saw what I had become, it fled here. I couldn't let it do what it did to my world again, so I went to the Time Gates to follow it. There, my Okaasan used the ginshizou to replace the human half of my blood with Saiyajin blood to make me stronger against Chaos. I then followed Chaos and ended up here where I lost my senshi again. Why them and not me?"
Usagi bowed her head, her silent tears falling down her cheeks and into her lap, her will straining to keep her sobs in. Bulma silently pulled Usagi into a motherly embrace, whispering soft assurances and words of comfort as Usagi cried. " It wasn't suppose to end this way. Gomen nasai minna-chan. gomen nasai, I failed you," gasped Usagi between sobs, her voice hourse from crying. Exhaustion finally conquered the tsuki no hime, as she relaxed into sleep, her head lightly resting against Bulma's shoulder. Moving as little as possible, Bulma motioned for Trunks to pick up Usagi. Trunks did as he was told, unknowingly staring at tear-streaked face of the woman in his arms.
"Trunks, put her in one of the guest rooms. We'll get minna to come tomorrow to meet Usagi-chan and to find out what to do. Now come on, we should all get some rest, tomorrow's going to be a big day."
**************************
"Honto? She went through all that? The poor girl, that's a lot for someone as young as her to go through. I know we've had our share of battles, demo we've never lost everything," stated Goku, sympathy evident in his voice, the rest of the Z senshi nodding in agreement and Chichi dabbing tears out of her eyes with a tissue.
"Hai, I know. Poor thing, I heard her crying in her sleep all night long, screaming out for her senshi," Bulma murmured, shivering a little as Usagi's heart-wrenching sobs replayed in her mind.
"So where is she now? I what to find out about this Chaos being. It's power was unlike anything we've ever faced. It was just...evil," stated Gohan, remembering the shadow like creature.
"She's still asleep, probably hoping that the last few days were just a nightmare," murmured Bulma with sympathy written on her face before she turned to Trunks, "Trunks, please go and wake up Usagi-chan."
"Hai Okaasan," said Trunks over his shoulder as he headed up the stairs. Slowly he made his way through the maze-like hallways of Capsule Corp. and was soon standing in front of Usagi's door. Lightly he tapped on the door and called out her name. When he received no answer he tried again, louder this time. Still, he did not receive an answer. Cautiously he turned the knob and opened the door. His eyes widened and his body tensed at what he saw.
The room was empty. She was gone.

"Trunks, put her in one of the guest rooms. We'll get minna to come tomorrow to meet Usagi-chan and to find out what to do. Now come on, we should all get some rest, tomorrow's going to be a big day."

"Honto? She went through all that? The poor girl, that's a lot for someone as young as her to go through. I know we've had our share of battles, demo we've never lost everything," stated Goku, sympathy evident in his voice, the rest of the Z senshi nodding in agreement and Chichi dabbing tears out of her eyes with a tissue.
"Hai, I know. Poor thing, I heard her crying in her sleep all night long, screaming out for her senshi," Bulma murmured, shivering a little as Usagi's heart-wrenching sobs replayed in her mind.
"So where is she now? I what to find out about this Chaos being. It's power was unlike anything we've ever faced. It was just...evil," stated Gohan, remembering the shadow like creature.
"She's still asleep, probably hoping that the last few days were just a nightmare," murmured Bulma with sympathy written on her face before she turned to Trunks, "Trunks, please go and wake up Usagi-chan."
"Hai Okaasan," said Trunks over his shoulder as he headed up the stairs. Slowly he made his way through the maze-like hallways of Capsule Corp. and was soon standing in front of Usagi's door. Lightly he tapped on the door and called out her name. When he received no answer he tried again, louder this time. Still, he did not receive an answer. Cautiously he turned the knob and opened the door. His eyes widened and his body tensed at what he saw.
The room was empty. She was gone.
