Author's Notes: LISTEN UP! Ok people think just because I asked them last chapter if they wanted a sequel means that I ended the fic with Ch. 5. NO THAT IS WRONG! I only wanted to know if you guy wanted me to do a sequel because I needed to know how to end this story. I could slap on an ending or make room for a sequel. The fic did NOT end with Ch. 5 capish?
Ok I have a good reason why I haven't updated this fic! It's because I'm working on FOUR other ones right now. I think that you will like them, so please don't flame me because I got this out late. The next chapter will be longer k?
The votes for being a sequel is... 22/1. The one is my editor. Speaking of her she is at camp right now so she couldn't edit this chapter. Don't flame me because of my bad grammar and the lack of knowledge for the English language. Because I don't know why our early fathers made our damn language so confusing. Votes are still being excepted so tell me what 'cha think k?
Disclaimer: I don't feel like being witty today so...I don't own these characters. ::WHAT?!:: Nope sorry. I know that you guys thought that I did, but you know what? ::What?:: You were WRONG!!!. Hehe

Ch. 6
Serena sat high in a tree enjoying the thunderstorm. She tilted her head up and blinked as raindrops landed on her face. The leaves provided little shelter from the raging rain and prying eyes. At such a dark hour she found herself at "her" place. The small pond moved with life as the rain massaged it's surface. Dark clouds dipped so low that she felt she could reach up and touch them. Ever since her mother gave her the powers of her senshi she felt comforted by thunderstorms. They unleashed rage and stress that has built up in the sky...she loved the sensation of riding them out.
She had been sitting there thinking for the past hour. Her clothes were soaking wet and clung to her like a second skin. It reminded her of that time, 'so long ago', when she woke up to Vegeta "kissing" her. Vegeta. Lightning flashed above her followed by the deep rumbling of thunder. It was dawn, even though the dark clouds covered the rising sun. A thick fog had set in after the storm started. She felt comforted by the concealment for some reason. Her toes curled as the fog rolled across her bare feet.
How fitting for it to rain. As soon as she had woken up she knew that today she would change into the dark queen. She shuddered at the thought of becoming Diamond's queen. The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end as she suddenly felt cold and numb. No! I shouldn't think about that now. I can't stop the inevitable. Her thoughts returned to last night and the certain Saiyajin she shared it with. What happened last night was indescribable. It was simply the purest show of love. Smirking sadly she thought of how she would miss him.
Closing her eyes she tuned out the gentle beating of the rain and focused on her inner self. She searched through herself and found the disease. It was growing and had nearly consumed her. Only a few more minutes now... she thought as she leaned back against the trunk of the tree. She was exhausted, cold, hungry, and wet, but she wouldn't have it any other way. She smiled in satisfaction and waited for the dark powers to swallow her.
Pain. It streaked through her entire soul and plowed through her mind. Serena fell from the branch that she was sitting on. Stray hairs fell onto her face and were pushed back from the force of her decent. She crashed into smaller branches and twigs snapping them in two. As blood poured from the small scratches she still continued to fall. (It was a tall tree ok?)
A sickening thud echoed around the small clearing in the forest. The birds seemed to quiet and the rain stopped in mid fall. Everything seemed to stop and wait to see what would come of the girl that was on the ground shivering and whimpering. The physical pain went unnoticed as Serena found herself lost in her consciousness. She could feel the dark energy mercilessly consume her being. It tore at her kind soul and buried it deep within her. Her former kind self laid dormant underneath the blanket of rage and pain that had coated her insides. She whimpered, Kami-sama it hurt.
A burst of power emitted from her and she gasped as it cracked and sparked all around her. All at once her outfit changed, it was now the sluttish one of the dark queen, and an upside down crescent moon appeared on her forehead. A black light shot out from it towards the sky. Her eyes flickered and turned pitch black before reverting back to their normal blue. A soul shattering scream screeched out across the universe signaling the last of the gentle princess and the beginning of a dark era.
A black portal appeared beneath her and she slowly disappeared through it. Good bye, Vegeta...
*************************************************************************************
A black portal appeared at the top of the throne room in Diamond's palace. Immediately the conversation between the prince and Wiseman ceased as they waited for whoever opened it to appear. Serena, as the dark queen, fell from it and plummeted to the ground. She slowly stood but it was obvious that it hurt her to do so.
"Where the hell have you been? Rubius said that you where with the enemy. Are you a traitor? Do you need you be taught a lesson to better understand loyalty?" During his little accusation he harshly grabbed her and pulled her close to him. He made sure that she could see the rage and jealousy flaring in his eyes. Through it all her eyes remained defiant and slightly cold.
"I would NEVER! How could you even THINK that?! Rubius ran and left me to the wolfs! HE left ME! I just now had the chance to escape. I had to get back to you no matter what. I used all of my energy fending off those goody goodies. They teamed up with the senshi and I hurt Jupiter pretty badly," she stated with a smirk at the end.
Wiseman spoke up, "Serenity is very weak, and according to my source Jupiter is drained of most of her power."
What source? Serena thought slightly shocked. She had more important matters at the moment so she pushed the thought away to look over later.
Diamond still looked doubtful. Serena stepped up and placed a gentle hand on his face. "My Prince, who will you believe? Your love...or a servant? If I am your enemy then why do I want to do this?" She leaned forward and brushed her lips against his. That was all that it took. Diamond smirked after licking his lips and turned to Wiseman. "Tell Rubius that I need to speak to him...NOW!"
In a swirl of black Rubius appeared before them and bowed to his prince. When he straightened his eyes widened and he pointed to Serena. "There is the traitor, Prince Diamond! She is right behind you!"
"I know where she is."
"Besides it's rude to point," Serena said.
"It has come to my knowledge that you abandoned your Queen when I specifically ordered you not to. You not only disobeyed me, but lied about it. I *hate* being lied to. Therefore you are hereby stripped of your birthright's power and sentenced to Wiseman's most...creative form of torture."
"But...but...I am telling the truth! She is the traitor!"
Stop being a baby and except your fate. Just think of this as pay back for bringing me here in the first place. Serena told Rubius telepathically. The look on his face was absolutely priceless. Serena smirked when Wiseman dragged Rubius off; screaming in injustice all the while.
"Why do you smirk?"
"Because I am glad that he finally gets what he deserves."
*************************************************************************************
Vegeta sat in his room looking out at the pouring rain. He knew that she was gone. Her pain is what woke him up. There was no need to go out and try to look for her because he knew that he would be too late. So he just sat here looking out at the rain.
He sat for hours just watching the storm rage on. He didn't care anymore. His mind wasn't on training, food, Kakarot, or even sparring. All he really cared about right now was Serena. Being so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't even realize that Goku had entered his room.
Goku looked at Vegeta in worry. His friend never looked so lonely and helpless. Of course it didn't show on Vegeta's face, but he could almost feel the emotions radiating off him. He already knew that Serena had turned and he had a feeling that all of the other Z-senshi knew. Shaking his head he walked up to Vegeta and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Leave Kakarot."
"Vegeta, she'll be ok. She's strong. I have a feeling that she is going to find a way back to us."
Vegeta just shrugged off Goku's hand and walked down for breakfast. All of the Z-warriors had gathered at Bulma's house after feeling Serena's change. They were discussing their next move, and how to get her back.
"Where are we going to start? We don't even know where she is," Yamcha said next to Bulma.
"I think that I have the answer to that." All eyes turned to Bulma as they awaited for her to explain.
"You remember when I took Serena back for those tests?" When all she got was some blank stares she continued, "You guys know when I went to go and find out how long she had until she turned? Before we went to the dragon." A few "Oh yeah"s and some nods greeted her. "Well I took the liberty of placing a homing device on her. She doesn't know what or where it is so she can't tamper with it." She went to her lab and got something that looked like a Dragon Ball Radar. After clicking it a few times she looked at it like it had sprouted a head. "This can't be right."
"What?"
"Well it says that she is in another dimension."
"WHAT?!"
"Well it is kind of like a dimension, but not really. It's like The Room of Spirit and Time, attached to our dimension but not quite a dimension in itself."
"Well how are we going to get there?"
Vegeta thought back to his conversation with Serena.
~*~*Flash Back~*~*~
-You shouldn't underestimate any of my senshi."
"And why's that?"
"They all have valuable virtues that contribute to our team. For example Ami, the dark blue-haired girl, is the most intelligent person I have ever met. She can find any weakness on any enemy. She can even understand my math homework! Which by the way is *very* amazing." Vegeta chuckled a little bit as they continued their flight.
"What about that little girl. She can't be one of your senshi, she looks to weak and sickly."
Serena smirked and said, "That is one of her most valuable weapons. Most people underestimate her because of her size, but she is the second most powerful senshi. Second only to me."
~*~*End Flash Back~*~*~
"I bet one of her senshi knows how to get us there." Everyone looked at him in shock.
"Hey it's worth a try. We'll go back to that shrine...after lunch!" Goku said as he looked toward the kitchen with hope. Everyone just sweatdropped or fell out of their chairs.
"I don't think that she would like this. I mean she lied to them so they would be safe."
"Krillen stop whining. How else are we supposed to get there?"
After lunch they were about to head for the shrine when a woman with a staff stepped out of a portal. Everyone stopped and looked at her. The people that hadn't gone to the shrine previously fell into fighting stances.
"I did not come here to fight you."
"Who are you?"
"I am the Guardian of all Time and Space, and one of the princess' eight senshi, Sailor Pluto."
"Wow."
"I came here to tell you that, yes, the princess is in another dimension. But before you go off and try to get there you must think ahead. What are you going to do when you get there? If you rescue her she will still be evil. You must figure out how to turn her good again."
"Oh shit. How are we supposed to do that?"
"You have to figure that out by yourself. I'm here to tell you that the only way to get there is if you go through one of their portals. The only way to get out is through one of their portals."
"Yet again, we're screwed."
"Krillen I'm glad your being so 'positive'."
Gohan spoke up when he noticed something, "Well umm...Ms. Pluto can't you just create a portal that we can go through?"
"I'm sorry Gohan, but fate couldn't make it that easy. I cannot help in any way, because what was fated to happen will happen. The only thing that we can do is let time run it's course."
"Well what if we can't get there? What will happen then?"
"Don't worry. An opportunity will arise to at least one of you. You just have to be sure to take it when it comes. I have to return to the Time Gates. Take care Z-senshi, you are the princess' only hope." With that the mysterious warrior disappeared into another portal. The warriors just sat in silence for a few moments.
"Bulma could you possibly make a device that could change her back?"
"I couldn't make something that would force her to change. She has to *want* to change, and I can't make her *want* to do anything. But, I could make something that might show her how it was for her when she was good...maybe."
"That's great!"
"I'll need everyone's help though. I need to think about it though...so either later to day or tomorrow I'll be able to tell you more about it...hmm..." she got up and disappeared into her lab.
*************************************************************************************
Serena sat in her room. Diamond almost had a fit when she asked for her own room. The love sick baka thought that she was going to share a room with HIM?! What a dumb ass. Thankfully Wiseman stepped in. He didn't mean for her to hear, but she did anyway.
~*~*~Flash Back~*~*~
"-Your Highness, I think that she needs time. Give her time and she will come to you willingly. She cannot disobey your wishes, but you want her to *want* to love you. The only way for that to happen is if you give her enough time."
So Diamond had agreed, though reluctantly.
~*~*~End Flash Back~*~*~
Like I would ever love him willingly. she thought sarcastically. There was more to it than that. She didn't even know what love was. She looked back at her memories, if you could call them that. When the dark energy had consumed her it hadn't wiped her memories away. It did something worse.
She could remember everything clearly, but no emotions were there. It was like she had the memories of someone else. She couldn't *feel* any of those emotions that she had felt at the time. She didn't know what love felt like. In fact she didn't know what any emotion felt like. Only annoyance, which she found out pretty quickly while bring around Diamond.
Sighing she got up left her room to spar. Of course there wasn't anyone there that could get up to her level, but it still felt fun to make sure the soldiers knew there place, which was far *below* hers. She snickered as she saw the fear in their eyes. Something made her stop, something inside of her made her feel ashamed of herself. Yet another new emotion. She turned away and walked down the hallway.
*************************************************************************************
The Z-senshi headed toward the same temple they went to before. Goku, since he was the leader, approached the dark haired girl from before. "Excuse me miss?" The girl stopped and looked at him in surprise. "Oh it's you! So how's Serena been? Does she need help packing or something?"
"Not exactly," he said a little hesitantly. When she just looked at him curiously he continued. "I think that you need to call all of her senshi together."
"Why?"
"Because she is with that Diamond person now."
"WHAT?!" Rei stared at them in disbelief. Shaking her head she pressed her "all call" button on her communicator/watch. "Minna! Get over here on the DOUBLE!" she yelled at the women on the other end.
"Right!"
A few minutes later the senshi were at the temple out of breath. The z-senshi looked guilty as they told them what happened. "Leave it to Odango Atama to do something this stupid."
"Stop it Rei. You know that she only lied to us so that we would be safe," Minako stated.
"I should have known that she was lying. I should have known. If I had noticed we could have saved her," Makoto said as she shock her head in disgust for herself.
"It's not your fault Mako-chan," Michiru said.
"When I get my hands on that bastard! I'll cut his d*** off! Then we'll see what he can do to kenko-chan," Haruka said while getting this evil little smirk on her face. All the guys present winced and shuddered at the thought of the pain.
"We should be able to heal her, with the Ginzishou's help of course," Ami said while typing on her mini-computer. All eyes turned to her and she glanced up at them. "Like this Bulma person said, "She has to *want* to change back." I think that I might want to meet this Bulma. We might be able to help each other," Ami said looking back at Goku. "Ok why not."
After many complaints and death threats, the Z-gang were somehow able to get everyone over to Capsule Corp. Soon after meeting the two geniuses got to work. "Bulma-san, if we can make this machine you are thinking about, then I think that the Sailor senshi can heal her," Ami told her after Bulma had explained her idea. "Let's hope so Ami. Let's hope so."
Both women were impressed by the other's intelligence. Ami was surprised that a human could be as smart as herself. While Bulma was surprised by Ami's many inventions and her logical outlook on everything. After a few strenuous hours the two women finally emerged from the lab.
"We've got it!!" Bulma yelled as she jumped into the air. She ran into the room where all of the z-senshi were waiting. "Minna! We figured it out!" The senshi that were in the living room sprang up and followed her anxiously.
Ami went outside where everyone else was waiting. "Minna! We figured it out!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and ran up to her. Both women lead there senshi to the lab where everyone gathered around them anxiously.
"Ok this here-" Bulma started while pointing to a seat, "-is where Serena needs to sit." Bulma explained what everything was and what it would do. Ami was the one that summed it all up. "The other person that is in the chair will transmit their memories of her to her. She will see what she has forgotten and hopefully will want to remember again. Between the Sailor senshi and the Ginzishou I think that we can heal her."
"Now all that we have to do is bring her here!" Gohan said with excitement. Everyone just watched there hopes diminish. "And how are we going to do that?" Krillen asked to no one in particular.
*************************************************************************************
Ok ok I know bad ending. I promise that the next chapter will be longer. The reason why it took me so long to get this out is because I am working on the sequel, two Trunks/Usagi romances, AND another Vegeta/Usagi romance that could possibly be a Goku/Usagi romance. That's very unlikely though because I don't have any really GOOD ideas for them. So don't yell at me! because I have been working harder to please you. Give me some slack I'm working on FOUR other stories. I told a friend about my stories and she LOVES them so I think that you will too. REVIEW! Please? I really want to know what you guys think of my fic. Did you know that this is only my second one EVER?! I couldn't believe it! Well Ja for now!~ Katlin Grace
Ok I have a good reason why I haven't updated this fic! It's because I'm working on FOUR other ones right now. I think that you will like them, so please don't flame me because I got this out late. The next chapter will be longer k?
The votes for being a sequel is... 22/1. The one is my editor. Speaking of her she is at camp right now so she couldn't edit this chapter. Don't flame me because of my bad grammar and the lack of knowledge for the English language. Because I don't know why our early fathers made our damn language so confusing. Votes are still being excepted so tell me what 'cha think k?

Sighing she got up left her room to spar. Of course there wasn't anyone there that could get up to her level, but it still felt fun to make sure the soldiers knew there place, which was far *below* hers. She snickered as she saw the fear in their eyes. Something made her stop, something inside of her made her feel ashamed of herself. Yet another new emotion. She turned away and walked down the hallway.

The Z-senshi headed toward the same temple they went to before. Goku, since he was the leader, approached the dark haired girl from before. "Excuse me miss?" The girl stopped and looked at him in surprise. "Oh it's you! So how's Serena been? Does she need help packing or something?"
"Not exactly," he said a little hesitantly. When she just looked at him curiously he continued. "I think that you need to call all of her senshi together."
"Why?"
"Because she is with that Diamond person now."
"WHAT?!" Rei stared at them in disbelief. Shaking her head she pressed her "all call" button on her communicator/watch. "Minna! Get over here on the DOUBLE!" she yelled at the women on the other end.
"Right!"
A few minutes later the senshi were at the temple out of breath. The z-senshi looked guilty as they told them what happened. "Leave it to Odango Atama to do something this stupid."
"Stop it Rei. You know that she only lied to us so that we would be safe," Minako stated.
"I should have known that she was lying. I should have known. If I had noticed we could have saved her," Makoto said as she shock her head in disgust for herself.
"It's not your fault Mako-chan," Michiru said.
"When I get my hands on that bastard! I'll cut his d*** off! Then we'll see what he can do to kenko-chan," Haruka said while getting this evil little smirk on her face. All the guys present winced and shuddered at the thought of the pain.
"We should be able to heal her, with the Ginzishou's help of course," Ami said while typing on her mini-computer. All eyes turned to her and she glanced up at them. "Like this Bulma person said, "She has to *want* to change back." I think that I might want to meet this Bulma. We might be able to help each other," Ami said looking back at Goku. "Ok why not."
After many complaints and death threats, the Z-gang were somehow able to get everyone over to Capsule Corp. Soon after meeting the two geniuses got to work. "Bulma-san, if we can make this machine you are thinking about, then I think that the Sailor senshi can heal her," Ami told her after Bulma had explained her idea. "Let's hope so Ami. Let's hope so."
Both women were impressed by the other's intelligence. Ami was surprised that a human could be as smart as herself. While Bulma was surprised by Ami's many inventions and her logical outlook on everything. After a few strenuous hours the two women finally emerged from the lab.
"We've got it!!" Bulma yelled as she jumped into the air. She ran into the room where all of the z-senshi were waiting. "Minna! We figured it out!" The senshi that were in the living room sprang up and followed her anxiously.
Ami went outside where everyone else was waiting. "Minna! We figured it out!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and ran up to her. Both women lead there senshi to the lab where everyone gathered around them anxiously.
"Ok this here-" Bulma started while pointing to a seat, "-is where Serena needs to sit." Bulma explained what everything was and what it would do. Ami was the one that summed it all up. "The other person that is in the chair will transmit their memories of her to her. She will see what she has forgotten and hopefully will want to remember again. Between the Sailor senshi and the Ginzishou I think that we can heal her."
"Now all that we have to do is bring her here!" Gohan said with excitement. Everyone just watched there hopes diminish. "And how are we going to do that?" Krillen asked to no one in particular.

Ok ok I know bad ending. I promise that the next chapter will be longer. The reason why it took me so long to get this out is because I am working on the sequel, two Trunks/Usagi romances, AND another Vegeta/Usagi romance that could possibly be a Goku/Usagi romance. That's very unlikely though because I don't have any really GOOD ideas for them. So don't yell at me! because I have been working harder to please you. Give me some slack I'm working on FOUR other stories. I told a friend about my stories and she LOVES them so I think that you will too. REVIEW! Please? I really want to know what you guys think of my fic. Did you know that this is only my second one EVER?! I couldn't believe it! Well Ja for now!~ Katlin Grace
