Secret of the Planet
Chapter 5
Usagi sighed, blowing her bangs from her eyes. Her eyes were fogged with laziness as she gazed around with supreme boredom. A look of annoyance sparked in her eyes as she narrowed them at the distant sky.
"How predictable. The proud seiyan prince has come at last to test me. What a joke."
She groaned softly as she dragged herself up from the park bench. She stretched like a cat in the sun's light and watched in a lazy silence as the small black dot in the sky grew larger.
"Here kitty, kitty, kitty." She called in a light giggle, disappearing and reappearing in a tree. She waited patiently as the figure of one spiky-haired prince of seiyans came into view.
She smiled faintly as he landed, his back to her. She kept her mouth tightly closed as he looked around, for fear of laughing out loud.
"Where are you?" Vegeta called out in a challenging voice, still facing the opposite direction.
Usagi smirked. "How typical. He can't sense my energy now that I've set up a barrier. Let's see...what to do..." she rubbed her hands together in contemplation.
"I know you're there!" Vegeta was saying. "Come out and face me like a real warrior!"
Usagi's eyes narrowed to slits at this. She leapt silently from to tree, growling.
"Lowly seiyan, how dare you challenge my honor as a warrior. Who are you to speak to me so disrespectfully?" she glared.
Vegeta slowly turned around, his eyes growing huge as he saw her. She wore a tight long-sleeved silver dress that barely reached her thighs. The thing was so short that every time she moved it was virtually impossible to miss her skimpy black panties. The front of the dress was cut into a V shape that gave the viewer a generous impression of her large bust. She had a pair of black knee-high boots with killer heels and a low-hanging black belt on. She wore a black glove on her left hand to finish off the outfit. She was stunningly beautiful.
Vegeta released the breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. "Who are you?" he breathed, than coughed as he realized to whom he was talking. He finished in a rough growl. "And what do you want?"
Usagi rolled her eyes. "Pitiful creature, I am the eternal warrior of the universe. Sailor Cosmos, demo, my name is Usagi. Are you a protector of this planet?"
Vegeta glared at her first comment. "Sailor Cosmos? I am Vegeta, the prince of the planet Vegeta. Why do you want to know?" he asked, glaring daggers at her.
She shrugged. "If you are a protector of this planet, then perhaps you would be interested to know the information I hold. Information regarding this planet and it's possible abolition if you do not allow me to help you."
"Nani?! What are you talking about?!" Vegeta shouted.
Usagi sneered. "Baka. This planet will be attacked by a force more powerful than you could ever imagine in precisely a year and a half. If you and the other Earth Forces do not allow me to train you, well, let's just say that you can kiss your lovely little planet here goodbye."
Vegeta scowled at her, folding his arms over his chest. "And why do you care onna? If this planet is so insignificant, then dare I ask why you want to protect it? And how the hell do you know this thing is coming anyway?"
Usagi walked toward her previous bench where she sat down and relaxed. "I'll tell you when the others arrive. I told Gohan-san that I would explain myself to everyone and not a second before they all arrive."
Vegeta growled warningly. "Onna, must you be so difficult? Tell me why you're here. I don't want to have to repeat myself again."
Usagi glanced at him. She blew across her perfect silver nails casually. "Iie."
So simply said, Vegeta was struck by how easily she dismissed him. As if he were nothing.
He frowned. "Very well, I guess we'll just have to do this the hard way then." He cracked his knuckles. "I would hope that your skills offer more of a challenge than your mouth." He stated, powering up.
Usagi glanced at him. "So it's time to tame him already. Very well, I'll have to be careful. I don't want to kill him by accident."
"Ha!" Vegeta grinned evilly. "Take this onna!" he attacked, flying toward her at a speed that could only be perceived by those who knew him.
Usagi didn't even blink as she disappeared from where she sat and the bench exploded. She appeared again as Vegeta looked around in anger.
"Stop playing games onna! Fight me!" Vegeta yelled, enraged.
Usagi blew across his neck, ducking as he struck at her and easily avoiding the attacks he sent at her. Punches and kicks flew at her in a wave of unpredictable strikes. Vegeta looked to be getting more and more angry with each passing moment.
Usagi's laughing wasn't helping his mood.
His eyes flared.
"What are you laughing at onna?" he demanded, sending a ki blast at her. Usagi shrugged, lifting her hand at the high-powered ball of gold.
"Now, now, we'll have none of that." She clucked her tongue.
Vegeta watched furiously as she caught the blast in her palm and held it there as if it were some ancient prophet's globe. She bounced it around between her hands.
Vegeta ignored the sweat that covered him from head to toe.
"What do you want?" he asked finally as Usagi closed her hand around the energy ball and it disappeared.
She smiled.
"I want to help you. This planet can no longer defend itself. I must find the planet's soldier and complete his training. With his help and the help of the Earth Forces, we can put this darkness to rest and the planet will be safe once again." She smiled.
Vegeta stared at her. "How do you know all this?"
Usagi glanced away from him, her eyes suddenly filling with spite. "One year ago this force came to my own world, a separate dimension from this one, in the form of a man. He took everything I held dear, killed my fellow warriors and stripped me of my innocence. He stole the planet's protector and encased him in a world of darkness. I fought the man until he had destroyed everything I held dear. Finally, in a desperate attempt to vanquish him from my precious world, I called upon my greatest power and blasted him into eternity. Of course, the price of using this power was my own demise. I had to sacrifice myself for my planet. I died with my planet you could say. I was resurrected as an immortal guardian of the universe because of my sacrifice. It is my sworn duty to protect every planet in the cosmos. That's why I have come. That, and I was raised on this planet a long time ago and I have a friend that I left behind when I returned to my original dimension." She added the last part more softly, though Vegeta heard.
He frowned. "Alright. So what exactly is it that you think you have to do to get us ready for this thing?" he asked, kicking himself mentally.
Usagi smiled thinly. "I must train you for the next year and a half. My methods are cruel and vigorously difficult. Demo, they are almost completely foolproof. I can ensure that if you and the other Planet Forces allow me to train you, Chaos stands no chance."
"You? Train me? An onna?!" Vegeta was suddenly outraged.
Usagi rolled her eyes. "Come here seiyan, let me touch you."
Vegeta frowned suspiciously.
"Do not worry. I won't hurt you." she said reassuringly.
He scowled, but approached her non-the-less.
Usagi reached toward him. "Just calm your mind and you'll see what you must." She directed.
Vegeta gasped as her fingertips brushed across his arm, trailing down his arm like blood from a wound. The incredible surge of power shocked him to the bone. He stood rigid as images flooded his mind.
***
A girl clad in a silver sailor suit stood atop a crystalline tower, adjacent from her stood a man in knight's armor. Her brilliant golden hair and bright features stood in deep contrast to his ebony hair and dark appearance. They stared at each other for a moment before the man grabbed his sword and charged at her. She disappeared and reappeared behind him, closing her eyes as she hit him with a long silver staff. The man screamed in pain, blood slipping from the corner of his mouth.
***
Vegeta gasped at the image. That had been Usagi!
***
A young girl held a long silver staff above her head; her narrowed sapphire eyes sparkled dangerously as she shouted some unknown words to the sky. The top of the staff, where a crystal-like jewel was placed, glowed silver as her beaten figure went rigid. An explosion like no other erupted from the girl's staff, annihilating everything in sight. The image of those pain-filled ocean blue orbs was irreplaceable by the destruction that ensued.
***
Vegeta was shocked as image after image of destruction and chaos filled his mind.
By the time the images had faded, he was on his knees, holding his head in a desperate attempt to halt the terrible feelings of pain.
Usagi sighed, leaning over to offer him a hand up.
"Vegeta-sama, I know you don't want to, demo, onegai help me save this planet. Let me train you. If only one attack, let me teach you it." She said in a soft whisper.
Vegeta stared up at her. He reached for her hand.
"I will. I'll help you..." he took her hand and she pulled him up gently, smiling.
"Thank you, Vegeta-sama. You will not regret this."
A moment later six figures would come upon the greatest shock they'd ever beheld, but for this instant in time that the prince sat alone with the lone protector of the cosmos, Vegeta felt an uncanny sense of peace flow through his system at being so near to her. He glanced at her and couldn't help but stare.
"So much pain in her heart. So much pain." He thought to himself, gazing at the sky patiently.
To be continued...
