Usagi hit his chest, "let me go you big old ape."
Radditz growled under his breath and shouted, "fine. Here you go!" He suddenly let her go and Usagi screamed in horror as she plummeted to the ocean below.
Her eyes widen in fear as she saw the blue water grow nearer and nearer each passing second. She let out another scream, as the heart shaped buns came loose, from the rough current of air that hit her face.
Her eyes, the same color as the image she stared at, and would soon hit. She opened her mouth and let out another wail of fear. And that's when the crescent moon appeared on her forehead and a rush of silver light shot out from the core and surrounded her tiny frame.
Another wail broke through the light that pulsated and grew larger.
Radditz stopped chuckling and covered his eyes as the light blinded him for a second. When it was gone he opened his eyes and stared down below him. He feared suddenly that his hostage actually hit the water. But he never heard a splash. Just only the low sounding hum from the light.
But now the light was gone, and in its place was the little girl. But the girl now had two white wings that had sprouted from her back.
Her hair was loose from the buns she had been wearing and the pink curls floated above her head. But what shocked him to the core, besides that she stopped only a foot above the water, was the white furry tail that waved back and forth from her rear.
He flew down towards her, his temper rising, as he grew closer. He was ready to blast her to the next dimension.
Usagi opened her eyes and gasped to find the raging waves merely inches from her nose. She jerked back with a yelp and covered her nose with her hand.
She swallowed hard, and looked behind her. She suddenly grinned, "Yea I got my wings back!"
She flew forward, "now I can go back to Goku."
"Oh no you don't!" Two arms grabbed her from behind and she cried out, the wings vanishing. He spun her around, "how did you..."
He raised an eyebrow and looked at her. She wasn't dressed in the pjs anymore. Instead she wore a splendid silk dress, which was of pure white and her neckline trimming shone bright with gold. Her dark pink locks fell into her pale face, her heart shaped bangs surrounded as crescent moon on her forehead.
"You..."
Usagi stated into his face with fear. "King Vegeta was looking for you. Not you in particular but an onna with that mark. Where did you come from?"
Usagi pursed her lips together and she glared at him. "I'll throw you down and blast you to the next dimension if you don't answer me."
Usagi shrank back from his intimidating gaze. But a surge of power made them both turn to look. Radditz scowled and dropped down to the nearest land. He grabbed her by the back of the head and held her out from him. Usagi cried out and pulled at his hands to let her go.
Goku and Piccolo dropped down in front of them. Goku looked at Usagi and eyed her dress. She slightly frowned in thought. Piccolo on the other hand gasped, 'Tsuki no hime.'
Usagi clawed at his hand, and he snarled, "brat!" he tossed her to the floor. She hit the ground and skidded to a land. She ended up a few feet away from the group of men.
Usagi groaned and climbed to her feet. She dusted off her dress and sighed. Another outfit ruined by the enemy. Didn't they know how hard it was to keep white clean?
Usagi looked at the men and frowned, 'another fight, against good and evil.'
Usagi crouched down on the ground and watched. The green man, whom Goku called Piccolo, stood next to Goku. Radditz was taunting them and sneering at them.
Goku and Piccolo powered up and went at Radditz with a mighty force, their fists flew through the air, their legs swiftly moving to do harm, but to no avail Radditz blocked every hit.
Goku jumped back calling on his power and throwing an energy ball. Usagi's eyes grew large as she watched the ball fly towards Radditz, who unspeakably easily tossed the energy with his right hand.
Piccolo then took his turn but still Radditz threw it away like garbage. Usagi watched in horror, as her new friend fought for his life, and for her.
After awhile, Piccolo and Goku tossed their clothes to the side, discarding the heavy garments, and their energy flared back to life.
Usagi's eyes welled up with tears. She couldn't help them, she felt so helpless.
She forced herself to watch it all play out in front of her. Goku snuck up behind Radditz, much like she had done and grabbed his tail. He shouted at Piccolo to attack him.
Radditz looked paralyzed in place. He said something to Goku. Piccolo shouted, "Don't do it Goku, it's a trick!"
Goku glanced at Radditz and then at Piccolo. And to Usagi's horror he let go. Radditz smirked, and turned, an energy blast forming in his palm. "Bye, bye brother."
Goku's eyes widen in shock. Piccolo let loose his attack, even though it was too early and did nothing against Radditz's armor.
Goku grunted when the blast hit him in the gut, and he was sent back. The blast exploded, as he hit a cliff and the cliff fell apart landing on top of him.
Usagi burst into tears, unable to hold her anger and her fear that he was gone. She shrieked, her emotions exploding from her heart and poured into her scream of pain and anguish. Caught off guard, both Piccolo and Radditz looked, dumb stricken, by her sudden outburst.
Her eyes glowed navy blue in color, her energy level rising off the scale. Radditz hit his scanner and gasped in surprise. Her mouth open and she let out another scream; this one was fill with rage. Her body was outlined in a soft silvery glow.
She didn't notice the boulders, which was all that was left of the cliff falling. Slowly but surly Goku climbed out of the ruble, cuts and scrapes marled his body and his suit was torn.
He heard the screams and looked at Usagi, hoping she was ok. He was shocked to see her glowing, and a silver tail waving behind her, and most of all the dress she wore.
The crescent moon on her forehead glowed, pulsating like the beat of her heart. The beats grew closer together till it seemed it wasn't flickering at all.
She rose into the air, and was propelled forward. Her body jerked, and if being sucked dry, vanishing from their site, only leaving the glowing ball of energy in her place. It shot forward with light speed.
Before Radditz could comprehend he cried out from the blow and was knocked back. He gasped for air, which had been knocked out of him. He looked down to see Usagi hit the ground at his feet. Her eyes drooped, her body relaxed.
Radditz stumbled and looked at his chest. The front of hit armor had been torn to shreds. Suddenly two arms grabbed him from behind locking him in place. "Piccolo NOW!"
Radditz's eyes bulged with fear when he realized what was going to happen. He struggled to get free, but Piccolo was already throwing his attack.
It shot forward entering through Radditz's chest going through his heart and blasted through Goku.
Goku let Radditz go and fell to the floor. He laid there, knowing it was all going to end, and real soon. He welcomed it with both arms; his only regret was leaving Usagi and Gohan behind.
Radditz was talking, but his words blurred together. Something about more and earth's doom. His world blurred together. And things began to fade.
Something attentively touched his shoulder. "Don't go."
He turned his gaze to the small face next his. She looked pale, and weak. Her eyes dropped, but she forced herself awake.
"You can't." Goku softly smiled his face twisting in pain, but the smile shone through. "Gomen...Usagi..." he found it hard to breath, and everything was so cold. He didn't have much time left. "Tell Gohan...I love him..."
Usagi burst into tears, "you can't...I'll help...I...I can..." she tried to raise her hand to touch the wound so it would heal, but her hand fell, too weak to move.
"Iie. Goku kun. I wanna help...but I ...can't move..."
Goku nodded, as her face started to leave his mind.
"Puu, said I can bring you back...I'll do it...I will."
Goku closed his eyes, for the last and final time.
Usagi watched at his body faded to dust. And she remembered the way Nephrite had died in Naru's arms. She cried. Her sobs racking her body. She had been too weak to help him. Blinded by her own anger she had used up her energy, and wasn't able to help when they needed her.
Her tiny fists tightened, then relaxed. Shoes miraculously appeared in front of her eyes. She looked up and saw green. She inhaled deeply, and she felt the dirt from the ground enter her lungs.
"Usagi, oh kami iie."
She knew that voice, that lady she met earlier. And instantly the blue haired woman was in her site. "Are you hurt?"
Usagi couldn't move, even if she wanted to. It hurt to, and she felt, as it was so hard to even breath. To keep her chest rising and falling was like a chore.
"Usagi?"
Her vision blurred. And before she passed out the last thing she saw was Piccolo's face, and his voice. "I'm taking her with me. I'll train her for a year, and so should the rest of you. Two more men, much stronger than the one we fought today, will be here in a year's time. We need to be ready."
Everything went black.
Radditz growled under his breath and shouted, "fine. Here you go!" He suddenly let her go and Usagi screamed in horror as she plummeted to the ocean below.
Her eyes widen in fear as she saw the blue water grow nearer and nearer each passing second. She let out another scream, as the heart shaped buns came loose, from the rough current of air that hit her face.
