Title: Son Usagi-the real Usagi?

      Usagi sighed as she was once again sentenced to detention by Miss Haruna.  It wasn't, like one would think, a sigh of regret or disgust.  It was instead, one of relief.  Another day in detention.  She smiled.  Life was good.

      "So Usagi, tough break.  Heard you got detention today... again."  Makoto said as they ate lunch under the big tree. 

      "Yeah."  Usagi tried to sound down.  "Oh well."

      "You know, it has to be unnatural to eat that fast."  Ami commented as she watched Usagi inhale her food.

      "Runs in the family," Usagi mumbled, not thinking for a moment.

      "No one else in the Tsukinos eats like that."  Mina pointed out.

      "Sorry, it was just an excuse."  The rest nodded and rushed off before the bell rang.  Usagi's smile faded as they left form her sight.

      'Some day they'll see.  Soon.'

Detention

      "Usagi, I am so proud of you, doing university work like this!"  Miss. H said.  "I still don't understand why you don't want your family or friends to know..."

      "Miss H, please, just trust me like you have for the last four years."

      "I always will.  I suppose you can go now.  Just be sure to have those assignments finished for tomorrow so I can get them handed in for you."

      "Of course.  When have you known me to turn in a late assignment, Miss H?"  Usagi flashed a smile and was gone.

      On the walk home she swung her bag and thought about Miss H's words.  'You should tell your family'.  Oh, how she wanted to. But they were far away.  She sighed in disgust.  She couldn't even train until past midnight when everyone, even Luna was asleep. And she had to keep up this ridicules façade where she was ditzy and clumsy and couldn't fight.  She smiled.  If only they knew how good she could fight.

      She was jarred out of her thoughts when she bumped into someone.  Murmuring apologize, she stood and looked into the eyes of a lavender haired boy.

      'Hmmm... looks familiar.  Naw, it couldn't be him.  To old.  Too good looking.'  She smiled.

      "Sorry sir, my fault.  Have a good day."  And she walked off.  The figure watched her go, smiling and headed to meet a dark haired boy.

      "It's her."  The other boy smiled.

      "Good."

The next day

      Usagi walked into school ten minutes early to give her homework to Miss H.  She had been practicing this morning and decided to just go strait to school after her shower instead of crawling back into bed.  Miss H smiled at her and began to teach that days lesson as soon as the rest of the class walked in.  Five minutes into her lecture, a boy walked in and handed her a note.  Usagi's eyes narrowed.

      'Masaka.'

      "Class, this is Son Gohan and he is here as an exchange student for three months."  Usagi gasped as Gohan looked strait at her.  "Anyone that would like to show him around, raise your hand please."  Most of the girls raised their hands.  Usagi's stayed down, her eyes still locked with Gohan's. 

      "Uh, Miss Haruna, I was wondering if Usagi would show me around."

      "Oh, you know Usagi?"

      "Oh yes, he knows me."  Usagi said, standing.  She stalked to the front of the room and smacked him upside the head whiled everyone gasped.  "You baka, why didn't you tell me that you were coming?  And that was Trunks I ran into yesterday, wasn't it?!"  Gohad rubbed his head.

      "Uh yeah.  We couldn't tell you, it was a surprise.  You know, Usa, something you can't know about until it happens?"

      Everyone looked on to see Usagi's reaction.  To their surprise, she smiled and hugged Gohan.  In his ear, she whispered,

      "I missed you brother."

      After a few more minutes, everyone sat down again and Gohan passed Usagi a note.  She opened it and her eyes narrowed.

Usagi-imouto,

The woman who brought us to you said that you could 'act normal' whatever that means. ^_^() See you at lunch.

Gohan

      'I can act like myself?'  Usagi asked herself and then smiled.  She put the note away and sat up strait.  Most everyone looked at her in confusion. She was usually fast asleep by now. 

      "And executive order 9066 did what for the Japanese-Amerians?"  Miss Haruna asked.  Everyone's eyes widened as Usagi raised her hand.  "Usagi, please try and use the restroom before class begins."

      "No, Miss H, I want to answer the question."  She took a deep breath and ignoring everyone's stares, she said, "executive order 9066 began the mass evacuation of thousands of Japanese decent.  Though it was never said that they were the targets, specifically, it was clear that it was they whom Roosevelt intended.  When he found they were going to intern the German and Italian Americans as well, he put a stop to it.  It was a racist decision." 

      Everyone but Gohan and Miss Haruna looked at her with gaping mouths.  The lunch bell rang and Ami and Makoto walked over to her and felt her head.

      "Guys, I'm fine."  She laughed.  "In fact, I'm better then fine, I'm great!"  Gohan walked over. 

      "Usa, I'm glad you gave the short version."

      "Go-chan, if I'd given the long one, you'd've tried to best me.  Even though it's impossible."

      "It's not.  Come on, we have to go meet Trunks."

      "I still owe him for yesterday."  She grabbed her brother's hand and ran out the door.

      "Ami, call a scout meeting.  I think Usagi's possessed."  Ami nodded and grabbed her communicator.

*     *     *

      Usagi ran and hugged Trunks and then hit both him and Gohan.

      "You couldn't have told me it was you yesterday, Trunks?"  He shrugged. 

      "Usa, why was everyone surprised when you got the right answer?"  Gpjam asked.

      "Oh."  She explained her situation and glared as her brother and friend laughed.  "Shut up."

      "Mom and Dad miss you a lot." 

      "I miss them too.  The Tsukinos are nice, but their not my real family."

      "You had to lose the tail, I see."

      "Yeah," she smiled. "Looks like you two did too.  I missed you guys sooooo much!" 

      "We missed you too.  No one around to beat up..." Gohan said.

      "Beat up?  You liar.  I whooped your butt more times then Vegita did."

      "I'll deny it to my grave."

      "You gunna have an early funeral if I have anything to do with it."  Usagi growled. 

      "You name the place and time.  I'll be there."

      "Tonight.  12, midnight, middle of the park."

      "Deal."

      "Usagi, you're probably all rust from all those years of no practice."  Trunks smirked.

      "Am not.  Besides, I've had all this time as Sailor Moon."

      "Yeah, but you had to act like you couldn't fight."  Gohan remarked.

      "At least mine's just an act," she shot back.  The bell rang and the three of them jumped up to run back to class.

That night

      Usagi managed to avoid the senshi for the rest of the day.  This was easy since she could sense their ki's.  She finally went home around five, did her homework, ate dinner, and went to bed.  She set her internal alarm to wake her up at 11:30, which it did. 

      Like a thief, Usagi got up and dressed in her old gi from home and walked to the park. Unknown to her, Luna watched her leave and had jumped out after her.  Art 11:50, Gohan and Trunks showed.  Luna's eyes widened then narrowed in confusion.

      "I thought that you 'd do the smart thing and chicken out Go-chan."

      "No way, Usa.  You're going down."  They started to spar heavily as Trunks and Luna watched from different angles.  Finally, when they resorted to throwing attacks and flying, Luna ran off to find the senshi.  Neither had gained the upper hand when voice called out. 

      "Jupiter, thunder clap, zap!"

      "Venus, love me chain!"  Gohan fell back slightly from the lightning while Trunks was caught up in Venus's chain. 

      "Stop!  We're the sailor...."  All the senshi looked on in confusion as Usagi and the boys started laughing.

      "What?  Usagi, are you okay?"

      "Yeah, I'm fine."  She gasped for breath.  "Venus, you can let him go.  They're both allies."

      "But they were attacking you!"  Mars yelled.

      "No.  Gohan was attacking me, and I him.  We were sparring."

      "Sparring?"  Venus echoed.

      "You guys, like we told you earlier.  She's possessed!"  Jupiter yelled.  Mars threw a charm on Usagi and it fell off.

      "Nope, she's not, Jup."

      "Allow me to explain."  Usagi said after she stopped laughing about 'being possessed'.  "This is my friend Trunks."  Trunks stepped out of Venus' chain to the amazement of the senshi.  "The this clown is my brother.  Gohan."  Everyone's mouths hung open. 

      "But Shingo and the Tsukinos-"

      "Are not my real family."

Date: June 30, 2001

      Usagi had everyone assemble at the Temple.  The senshi, having refused to detransform, sat with Luna and Artimas on one side of the room.  Usagi, Trunks and Gohan sat on the other.

      "Explain."  Mars demanded once everyone was situated.

      "I'm from a different dimension."  Jupiter stood up quickly.

      "I knew it!  You're not Usagi!  Where is she?"

      "Jupiter, sit down.  Let me finish.  I am not the Usagi you know, yet I am.  I'm originally from the dimension titled the Dragon Ball dimension.  I was born to the strongest fighter on earth, a sajiin and his wife, a human.  I trained with him and my twin brother until I was twelve.  My mother tutored me. 

      "I came here with Pluto after she awoke my memories of the Silver Millennium.  Yes, before you ask, I have all my memories.  I was given specific instructions to act the way I have been my both Pluto and my mother, Queen Serenity.  I obeyed."

      "You deceived us!  Our whole friendship has been based on lies!"  Venus yelled.

      "Why?"  Mercury's whisper filled the room and moved Usagi to answer more then the yells of the other senshi had. 

      "Because she is an excellent fighter."  Pluto's voice filled the room.  "And Serenity-sama and I wanted to make sure that you could handle yourselves and would not come to depend on Usagi's skills as a fighter."

      "But the battle with Beryl and Galaxia..."

      "I couldn't.  I couldn't turn SSJ.  I tried, I used every trick that I had learned back at home, but..."  Usagi's whisper floated across the senshi.  Her eyes were sad, but her stance was straight.  She rose her eyes to the senshi and opened her mouth as if to speak. 

      "We put a block on your powers."  Queen Serenity appeared.  "It was destined to be that way.  I'm sorry to have had to put you all through that, but it was to prepare you for your days protecting Crystal Tokyo.  Of course now that-"

      "Serenity-sama."  Pluto's voice held a warning tone.  The former Queen of the moon had the grace to blush.  "Sorry.  I forgot."

      "Usagi, you still lied to us."  Mars' accusing tone brought the conversation back to their original topic. 

      "Mars, how would you feel if you were ordered by a Queen-your mother, no less-and the senshi of time and space?  Don't tell me you would have disobeyed."  Usagi asked, raising an eyebrow.

      "No.  I just... I'm just disappointed.  In you.  In us."

      "But we get to meet you all over again!"  Venus said happily, trying to lighten the mood.  Usagi gave her a weak smile before turning to Pluto. 

      "Pluto and my mother are both here, as well as Trunks and Gohan, two of the strongest fighters in the world.  I'm guessing that it's not just for a friendly visit.  That there is something else."

      "Very perceptive, Princess."  Pluto leaned on her staff.  "One of your old enemies from this dimension has gotten a hold of some technology from your home."

      "What technology?"  Trunks' voice filled the room and the senshi noted for the first time the tension lining his body. 

      "Metallia," the senshi gasped, "has gotten a hold of the androids technology.  And has figured out how to absorb them."

A.N.  I was thinking about ending it here, but I figured that since you have had to wait almost a week because I was on vacation ^_^() (sorry)  I would write a bit more)

      "The androids?"  Usagi turned to Trunks and Gohan.  "The androids?!  No way.  Let her merge with Freeza, have the sajins on her side.  Not the androids."

      "You want to have Freeza back?"  Gohan asked, his voice incredulous.

      "Well, no.  Not really.  It's just I remember the fight with the androids best and what they did," she winced and glanced at Trunks, "to the future."

      "Who are the androids?"  Mercury asked, pulling out her computer. 

      "They're machines that look like humans.  They can make energy blasts and such.  They are completely merciless.  Usually.  Except a couple turned over to our side because they were twins and one harbored feelings for Krillin... but that's not the point.  The main point is, they don't have human error and if Metallia can absorb them, she becomes stronger with each taking."  Usagi began to pace about the room.  "But they're new, right?  None of the old androids were remade, right?"

      "No."  Pluto answered.  "They are new androids fashioned to look like the Generals of the Negaverse." 

      "Oh god, not bleach head!"  Venus groaned.  The senshi gave a few nervous chuckles. 

      "We are going to need all the help we can get."  Gohan murmured.  Trunks just stood with his jaw clenched.  "At least there's no Cell." 

      "There's more."  Pluto's grim tone indicated that this news was far worse.  "Endymion has joined them." 

      "What?!"  The senshi's shrieks of disbelief were greeted with Usagi's cold stare. 

      "I broke up with him," she explained, trying to ignore both Trunks and Gohan's looks of curiosity.  "I didn't think that he would go off the deep end." 

      "I have something to tell you, my daughter," the queen's voice was soft and strained.  "Endymion, as you have figured out, was-is-not your true love, not your soul bound."  Surprisingly, the senshi kept quiet.  "I... I'm sorry, but I thought...You were betrothed to Endymion.  And when you died that night and I sent you to the future, I had a glimpse of the Queen you would become.  I thought that you would still need earth's alliance.  So I altered your memories as well as Endymion's.  When you broke up with him last week, he remembered the truth.  In a moment of weakness, Metallia came to him and offered him power for his loyalty and obedience, just as she would have done in the Silver Millennium had we not hand-fasted him to you."

      "He agreed."  Pluto continued the tale, "and now we are forced with an even greater enemy.  Although he is overtaken by darkness, Metallia never just trusts anybody, he went over to the darkness of his own free will.  Therefore his memories belong to the darkness.  They know who we are."  Her gaze locked with Usagi's.  "I have been given permission by both Chronos and Kami to begin the great freeze.  It will freeze all time in this dimension.  You and the senshi will go back to your home to train for the upcoming battle."

      "We shall."  Usagi's eyes swept over the group.  "Trunks and Gohan.  This is not really your fight.  I will appreciate all the help that we can get, but I will understand if you don't want to face them again after last time.  Senshi.  You have fought by me in times of earth's greatest need and have leant me your strength when I thought I had none left.  If you wish to stay here, to be frozen until the time of the awakening, I will understand and it won't be held against you."  She grimaced.  "These next few weeks will be far from pleasant or even torturous.  It will be hell."

      "You think that mom or dad would ever forgive me if I abandoned you?"  Gohan asked.  "I'm in.    "

      "Me too.  You're my friend and I was there when the first androids came.  I'll be there to destroy the second batch."  She smiled at her brother and friend and looked towards the senshi.

      "We will stand by you always, Princess.  Because you are our light," Venus said, kneeling.  Mars, Jupiter and Mercury followed suit. 

      "Our hope."

      "Our life."

      "Our friend."  Usagi gave a smirk the senshi had never seen before and said,

      "Rise, my friends and let's prepare.  Pluto, gather the outers and-"

      "They have already been placed in your dimension and are training, Princess."

      "Then let's freeze the world and go home.  Take me home, Pluto."  A light surrounded the senshi and half sajiins.  They all had the sensation they were falling and then... nothing.
