I'm back and have seen two new movies. I'm going to try and keep the story straight, but with all the changes that it has already gone through, who knows? Who knows where this is going? Even I don't know, it's a tell-as-I-go story. *shrugs* I guess I don't plan these things, I just start typing or writing. Then check for errors.
This one's called A Saiyan's Pride. I liked it a lot when I first read it over. It tells a little about the truth about Vegeta's past, or really, my view of his past.
***
A Saiyan's Pride
Vegeta looked numbly at Angel, who had once again collapsed onto the floor in tears. Her words had pierced his heart in a way he'd never had before. Even Bulma had been unable to awaken this part of him. The righteous part.
He realized what he had done. He realized that he had been an absolute jerk to everybody who ever tried to help him. Even his mate had found difficulty in penetrating his hurt and anger. He tilted his head back and roared, paying no heed to the others around him.
He had found his destiny.
He had become what no warrior had possibly even considered on his home planet. He had found love in Bulma. A friendly rival in Goku. And more friends than he could have dreamed of. Not even his best friend as a little boy had been this friendly.
Despite what most think of Vegeta-sei, it was a kind and open place. It was a place of love and emotion. But this was shielded away from the royalty. To them, they were all powerful. And Vegeta had grown up thinking that. Until Frieza broke this treaty with his father and kidnapped him and Nappa and a few other choice saiyans to work for him. And despite his promise, he destroyed Vegeta-sei, killing millions.
That's why Goku was so kind. Not because he had hit his head as a boy, but because it was usual saiyan nature. The only thing the bump on Goku's head had done was make him forget his saiyan commands and name. And practically everything else.
The conquering of other worlds was part of Frieza's plan of conquest all over the universe. The weaker Saiyans were sent to other planets so they would stay out of the King and Frieza's ways. Vegeta had called them 'pests' as a young child, misunderstanding the purpose these weaker Saiyans had.
I sighed and attempted to stand. I could not. Trunks reached a hand down and leveled me onto his shoulders.
"Do you see it now, Vegeta?" I asked in a raspy voice, "Do you see what was really going on?"
"Yes," he whispered under his breath and stared at the ground, "And I'd...I'd like to apologize. To everyone. For being such a jerk. I'm such an idiot to not have seen it." He looked into my eyes and smiled. A real smile, not that smirk he constantly wore, "It took a young girl to help me see the truth. Thank you, Angel." Everyone but me gaped at the Saiyan Prince. They were definitely not used to Vegeta apologizing, thanking, or smiling in any way, shape, or fashion, so I didn't really blame them.
I smiled and quietly thanked Trunks for helping me. I stood up on my own now.
My smile dropped the instant I saw the movement. The door slid open slowly, revealing the creature within. The white cape. The pink, light magenta colored skin. I had always wondered why Akira Toriyama had made all his bad guys so girly. I guess it was to make them funny. Cell seemed to be the only exception to this rule.
A cold chill washed over me the instant his face appeared.
"Attack," he said coolly, "All of you at once."
Gohan turned to me.
"You fight him for now," I told him, "The rest of us will jump in if we don't think you can handle. You have been out of practice for about 7 years." He winced as Goku looked at him strangely.
"You mean you didn't train at all?" Goku asked, "Not until Angel got here?"
"Yeah," he rubbed his neck in embarrassment.
"It was mostly the fact that Chi-chi upped his studies," I said sorrowfully, "It is not his fault. He didn't know." I shrugged my shoulders. I looked over at Dabura, who growled slightly at me. I was stopping Gohan from attacking him and he was already agitated that we weren't all going to attack him at once.
"Fine." Gohan said and turned his attention back to Dabura. As they fought heavily, I thought seriously. If Gohan could have trained during those seven years, Dabura would be mincemeat in minutes.
But this was not the case, I knew all too well. But I decided to give Gohan a chance for it anyway, seeming how he had been training a little longer than he had in the show. I smiled. Because of me. Because of my presence, Gohan had trained himself to become about even with his old ki level when he fought Cell.
I looked at Videl. She was looking at Gohan nervously, I could tell. She was worried for him. Even though her pride would not allow her, she still loved him and the signs were obvious.
Gohan kicked off against Dabura, flying left and right around him. Babadi had sent us to another world as planned ahead of time.
I smirked as I watched. Gohan may have been out of practice for seven years, but that extra training we had done for the tournament had made all the difference. Dabura threw punch after punch, slashed at him with his sword, blasted as many blasts that were possible, but Gohan was still the triumphant winner.
I sensed Babadi panic. I grinned widely. I knew that Krillin, Piccolo, and Viper were outside, waking up.
The floor opened up and we descended down into the depths of the ship. Babadi stood off to a corner, hiding behind four girls. I blinked once. Twice. Those girls. I knew who they were. But they weren't of this plane.
"I see you've discovered my small talent now, Miss Angel," he cackled sweetly, "I have gone to other dimensions and picked out the most evil people that I could find." He cackled wildly.
"The Amazon Quartet," I whispered to myself. His words were like swords cutting into my flesh.
"Who are they, Angel?" Trunks asked. He stared at the barely-dressed girls with narrowed, angry eyes.
"The Amazon Quartet," I answered, "From a show known as Sailor Moon. They steal your dreams and toy with them. They enjoy toying with people's minds. I didn't know that they fought Martial Arts, though."
"We don't girlie," Jun-Jun grinned wildly, "We are all magic, just like our master Babadi. But we don't need it." Pura-Pura nodded in agreement.
"Let's play," the blue-haired one giggled(I forgot her name and I'm not sure if the other two are correct. Help? Please?).
"I think not," I grinned. I whipped out my computer and began typing furiously. I waved bye to the others as Trunks and I disappeared.
"What happened just now?" Jun-Jun asked with wide eyes and even wider mouth.
***
Trunks yelled as he reappeared.
"Angel!" He shouted once he and I were completely in and of the world I had taken him to, "What did you do this time? Why did you do that?"
"Calm down, Trunks," I giggled, "I just put us in the Sailor World. Help me find two cats, one black and the other white, with a crescent moons on their foreheads. They should be around here somewhere.
"Where are we again? The Sailor World? What's that?" He asked as he looked under a trash can.
"Yeah. It's where the Sailor Scouts are and where the Amazon Quartet are from," I answered as I searched as well. We were standing in front of the Video Arcade.
"Hi," said a voice behind me, "Are you two lost? What's your names?" I turned around and saw the boy named Andrew.
"Hi, no, we aren't lost," I said sheepishly, "We're looking for two cats. Um...A girl named Serena asked us to help her look for them. Their names are Artemis and Luna, have you seen them, sir?"
"Well, yeah," He answered with a smile, "Strange, Serena knows they come into the back and drink milk sometimes. What's your name, I didn't quite catch it."
"This is Angel," Trunks stepped in, "And my name is Trunks. Nice to meet you, Mr..." he let it hang off for Andrew to say his name.
"Andrew," he smiled, "And any friend of Serena's is a friend of mine. Come on in, Artemis and Luna are drinking milk in the employee room. I'll get them for you." He left us in the arcade room and soon returned with Artemis and Luna.
The two cats looked on in wonderment as I accepted Luna and Trunks Artemis.
"Thank you, Andrew," I said with a smile, "I'll tell Serena to thank you later too, all right?" Luna took a double take but thank goodness Andrew did not catch it. Trunks and I left and rounded the corner into a deep alley.
"Luna, Artemis, I'm sorry," I said in a hissing whisper. They did not answer, just held their ears back in an angry way. "I know you two can talk, so go on ahead, quit the act."
They looked at me in surprise then sank into crouches that meant they were about to pounce.
"Who are you?" Luna asked in a dangerously low tone, "Are you from the Nega-verse? Speak, girl."
"I'm sorry, OK, Luna?" I said, "My name is Angel and this is Trunks and we've come to ask you and the scouts assistance on another plane, different from this one." She blinked a few times, allowing my words to sink in.
"Are you of another world?" She asked quietly.
"Yes, Trunks and I are half Saiyan, a race of very strong people," I answered, "We've plenty of time, but I'm afraid that if we don't hurry, someone will find us and you talking." She nodded solemnly.
"We will bring you to the scouts' meeting at the Temple," she whispered, "That will be in about an hour. In the meantime, we must find Serena." I smiled at her. A wistful look came across my face.
"Is something wrong?" Artemis asked, the first time he had spoken to me.
"Yes," I whispered under my breath. I closed my eyes. Something was wrong, I could tell. I felt the wind on my neck, I opened my eyes but screwed them to only narrow slits.
A scowl lit my features. I knew what was wrong.
I growled in frustration.
"That evil Babadi!" I hissed under my breath, "He's messing with the time continuum!"
"What does that mean, Angel?" Trunks asked hurriedly.
"It means we may not get back to the other dimension and it may unfreeze the time there!" I said in despair.
"Then we must move quickly," Luna said and darted her eyes around, "Is there any way to get all of the girls...I know!" She pawed at her collar and finally pressed the button she was looking for.
"Amy!" she shouted into the mic that extended from her collar.
"Luna? What is it, you almost never use your communicator!" Amy was panicking on the screen.
"I know, Amy," Luna said, "I don't have time to explain, tell the other girls to meet at the Temple, pronto! I'll be there shortly. Luna out."
"Got it! Amy out!" Amy shouted and raced off, not bothering to hang up the transmission. I looked up and saw Trunks beginning to take off.
"Trunks, no flying!" I scolded him.
"This is the fastest way, Angel," He said grimly. I sighed and lifted off after him. Luna's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates. Her mouth stretched into one of incomprehensible measures.
I laughed at the sight.
"That's the same way I reacted when I first saw Goku fly on TV!" I said with a laugh.
"Who's Goku?" Artemis asked from his standpoint in Trunks' arms.
"You'll meet him soon, I hope," I said with a mysterious grin, "He's kind of a hard person to explain. Vegeta, too."
"Who's Vegeta?" Luna asked.
"Remember how Trunks and I are half Saiyan?" I asked. They nodded. "Well, a while back, Vegeta was the Prince of the Saiyans. A guy named Frieza kidnapped him and sent him to Earth. Goku was sent to Earth as a little boy and grew up there. He was sent to destroy it, but got hit on the head and forgot literally everything. His adoptive Grandpa had to teach him everything and he is still kind of stupid to this day. Vegeta was a bad guy but became good when his 'mate' as he puts it, won him to the good side. Trunks is Vegeta's son, though this one is from the future of that time line. It gets kind of confusing with Chibi Trunks and Mirai Trunks around at the same time."
"I'll bet," Luna said with wide eyes.
"So, who's your father or mother," Luna asked, looking up at me with her eyes. I looked to the side and tried my hardest not to cry. But I did.
I nearly dropped Luna, but Trunks caught her in his arms. We flew on, but I was left to myself.
"What's wrong with her?" Artemis asked Trunks soberly.
"She has been through a lot," he answered and looked at her with tender eyes, "She wasn't born as a half Saiyan, she bio-engineered herself to be that way. And Goku's son's girlfriend, too. She's really smart, she came from a different dimension than ours. She knows about all the other dimensions because her world was the main one. Any made-up things, like my world, appear in a different dimension and are real. This is one of those dimensions, she said. She was able to harness this information and come to that world to warn them of a new threat, one she believed she could assist with. But her presence changed things dramatically. As did mine the first time I came back in time."
"So, she's from a world that has actually seen these events before?" Luna asked.
"Yes and no," he replied, "See, the monster we've come to ask help with has gone to her world and destroyed it. It is now only a black void. And then, he moved on to my branch of the Z world. And he's destroyed all buy myself, my sensei, and my little sister."
"Neither of you have a precise origin anymore?" Artemis asked. He looked at Luna. He smiled. They had found them.
The lost couple of the Silver Millennium.
*Flash Back*
When Queen Serenity was sending her children back in time, she stopped at her younger daughter. Angel. Then she looked at the Prince from a Lost Race. She smiled at them both. They were so happy together. But so strong. Their strength was too much for the future Earth to handle, she decided.
She asked Luna, "What should I do with them?" Even as her kingdom crumbled around her, she was more worried with her children's safety than her own.
"Send them to another world, maybe?" Luna had asked her majesty.
"No, that won't do," Serenity thought aloud, "I know! Another dimension, one where they will be happy together."
Only the Queen accidentally sent them to two separate dimensions. To be reborn without their memories, only to know that something here just was not right. Something was wrong. (This is my little theory over why our purple haired hero never married either Pan or Marron^.^`)
*End Flash Back*
Artemis smiled at Luna and they looked back at Angel. The reincarnated second daughter of Queen Serenity of the Silver Millennium.
They sat back and waited until they were right over the Temple, where the scouts all waited outside. They were absolutely dumbfounded when Trunks landed with their two guardians in his arms and I landed and stood aside.
Trunks let the struggling cats down and they raced to their owners.
"Sailor business, scouts!" Luna told them, "Get inside, we'll explain there. Angel, Trunks, come with us."
"Are you sure about that, Luna?" Serena asked doubtfully.
"Just do it!" Luna screamed in her face. She whimpered and Rei came up and pushed me and Trunks inside, all the while yelling at Serena to knock it off. Though what was incomprehensible to me.
"So, what's up, Luna?" Rini asked when we were all inside Rei's bedroom.
"Well, I have a huge surprise for Angel and Trunks when they finish, but they need our help," Luna said quickly. I cocked my head at her, but began my story anyway.
"We came from another world to ask your assistance, scouts," I began, "I am Angel and this is Trunks. We are warriors from another plane, well, two separate planes anyway. Neither of us is from the plane we just came from, but who cares, we live there now."
The others looked at me like I was crazy.
"We'll explain in better detail when we get the chance," I said.
"And now my surprise," Luna grinned mysteriously. She leaped into a backwards flip, twice, each time a pendant appeared. One had an A on it with a halo that floated above it. The other had a T on it, with a small twist at the end of the top cross.
"You two are actually originating from this world in the past timeline," Luna said, "You were lovers. Trunks was a full blooded saiyan and you, Angel." She paused for effect, "You are Serena's little sister. Queen Serenity decided you were much too strong to go with Serena and the others so she decided to send you to another plane. Unfortunately, you went to two different planes instead of the same one. You were supposed to go to the Z world, Angel." I looked at her with wide eyes. I could not believe what I was hearing.
"So now I'm a Moon Princess?" I asked, "Wow, I just keep getting more and more titles, now don't I, Trunks?"
"Yeah, me too," he said, "First I'm a pair of swimming Trunks and now I'm a Saiyan Prince. What next, I'm Santa Claus?" I laughed at his small joke, but I picked up the pendant with an A on it. He picked up the one with a T.
"Try it out, Angel," Artemis urged. I smiled down at the white cat and nodded.
"What do I say?" I asked.
"Angel of the Dragon," Luna answered sweetly, "And Trunks, you say Prince of the Dragon." I nodded and lifted the pendant above my head and shouted the words, "Angel of the Dragon!" I closed my eyes and it came to me what I should do. I extended my arms, now dancing with light. In a burst of fire, my arms had a pair of biker-style black gloves that covered up to my elbow.
My legs lifted elegantly and a pair of black boots appeared, though these ended at the top of my ankles.
An aqua green shirt appeared, tight on my body, with a sailor-suit type neckline that ended in a blue bow.
Instead of the typical fuku skirt, a pair of tight flaming pants appeared. Around the bottom and snaking up was a green dragon, much like Shenlong.
Another bright flash of light brought a blue bandana around my head, with a glowing golden A and a halo above that on the front. My tiara was much like my now-discovered-to-be older sister's. A golden crescent moon glittered in the center, and the rest glittered as well, though not as brightly as the moon.
I opened my eyes and saw that Trunks wore something similar to mine. His pants were not the red, orange, and yellow flames that mine were, but were violet, navy blue, and sky blue in the order of bottom to top. He also had a snaking dragon, though on then opposite pant leg of mine. His shirt was blue and his bandana aqua green.
"Think my shirt would match my eyes, Dragon Prince?" I asked with a giggle.
"Not really, Dragoness," he answered. Those were our sailor forms, I realized, much like Serena's and Darien's in a few ways.
"What do you mean?" Lita asked, "You guys have blue eyes."
"Not when we transform," I said in contrary.
"Transform?" Amy asked in confusion.
"Should we show them?" I asked. I was giddy with excitement.
"Yeah, show us," Mina said with a grin.
"Okay," I shrugged. I powered up. I let a growl escape my throat that climaxed into a loud roar. The scouts trembled in fear when I finally looked at them in the Super Saiyan Level 2 form.
"W-Wh-What is that?" Serena trembled.
"Y-Yeah," Rini agreed, still clutching her ears in fear.
"Super Saiyan Level 2," I answered, "Once thought impossible till Goku got it."
"Who is Goku?" Mina asked, "You still haven't given us any details."
"Its all in a Saiyan's Pride," I answered with a grim smile.
