~~~~~How it Happened: Part Two~~~~~
Here's the next part. And just as a side note, I DON'T OWN ANYTHING BESIDES THE STORY. Well, maybe some books, a telescope and a stereo, but I don't even own all of that!


By the time Nappa and Vegeta reached the desert, Goku had already arrived. As soon as they touched down, Goku and Vegeta locked eyes. They knew that this fight would be between them, everyone else was just in the way.

Vegeta casually made a ki ball, and tossed it into the crowd. Everyone besides Goku, Krillin, and Gohan, from the Z Senshi was killed.{A.N. Hey it's my way of making the plot at least partly correct}

Goku, unconsciencly growled, and clenched his fists. But he knew that to fight the stronger one, Goku would have to fight the big one. The Saiya-jin stepped toward the bigger, but weaker opponent.

"You kill innocent people without a thought about what you're doing! Monsters!"

At that, Nappa cracked his knuckles and stepped forward. He flew at Goku, fists flying. Goku dodged all of the punches with ease, ran up in between the flying fists, and kneed Nappa in the gut. The huge man collapsed for an instant before climbing back to his feet. Instead of letting Nappa climb to his feet uninterrupted, Goku started to attack the lumbering Saiya-jin. He stepped back after a moment, almost like surveying his work. {A.N. O.O Goku being evil? What has this world come to!? Goku: *blinks* hey it's your own fault you know that? TknT: yeah, yeah... oh well.}

While this was going on Krillin and Gohan had been watching, surprised at how much stronger Goku was. Their mouths were hanging open in the shock.

~Vegeta's Pod~
Usagi shifted slightly, and sank back into the past.

~Usagi's Dream/Memories~

Princess Serenity was on a new planet. Beneath her feet, the dirt was like sand. She was on a mission to try and make peace with the Saiya-jin. 'Impossible. No one has been able to have a true treaty with the Saiya-jin, they all get killed!' the princess thought sadly. 'Mother, why did you send me? You know how I get when meeting a new people.'

Stepping up to the palace, Serenity closed her eyes disgusted. Hanging from stakes were the rotting bodies of this barbaric race's enemies. She covered her mouth and walked up to the doors. Behind her were her two most trusted court members and protectors, the Princesses of Neptune and Uranus. They, also, were the closest planets, besides Pluto, nearest this one. Puu would have been here also, but her post could not be left for such a time as this diplomacy demanded.

A sentry had obliviously alerted the palace to their arrival, because a line of guards arrived to take her to the King. Serenity nodded to the escort, and followed where they lead.

Princess Serenity and her company where taken directly to King Vegeta. Here, they were to petition the treaty to the king and his son. Whether this treaty would be activated would be on their choice. No others in the entire kingdom, could dictate what would happen.

"Your Majesties," Serenity said with a curtsy when she met them. Looking up, she locked eyes with the prince. Dark and handsome, those two words perfectly described the seventeen year old prince. It took Serenity a moment before she could pull her eyes away from the extravagant creature before her. "I am Princess Serenity of the Silver Alliance. With me are two of my court members. We have brought the treaty my mother and yourself have discussed."

King Vegeta looked the princess in the eyes, apparently pleased with what he saw. King Vegeta introduced his son.

'Vegeta. . . Are all the royals named that?' Serenity thought in amazement. "Here is the treaty, you may wish to look it over to see if it fits your requirements." the princess said out loud, handing the scroll to an attendant, who in turn, took it up to the king.

King Vegeta glanced over it, and nodded, "All seems to be in order. I will sign it only after I have spend more time looking it over."

"Of course," Serenity said smiling faintly. It seemed she might get to spend sometime with the prince.

After this, the king requested that Prince Vegeta show the princesses to their rooms. King Vegeta had expected his son to protest, but he surprised him by complying immediately.

Serenity looked up only to find out that the Prince still was looking at her. {A.N. from now on, I'm gunna call King Vegeta, King Vegeta, and Prince Vegeta, Vegeta.} She blushed slightly under Vegeta's gaze. He walked past the princess, only to turn and say "Follow me, Princesses." and then continue walking out of the throne room. They had no choice but to follow him.

Vegeta first lead Uranus and Neptune to their rooms, and that only left him to show Serenity to her's. Vegeta stopped at her door, and whispered in her ear, "My rooms just across the hall, Tenshi," Serenity's entire body seemed to be on fire with being so close to this prince. Nothing like this had ever happened when Prince Endymon had leaned in like this, and he never called her angel either. She closed her eyes, half expecting Vegeta to do something more, but he pulled away and went into his room.

Serenity sighed and walked into her room. Inside, shockingly, it looked almost exactly like her bedroom on the Moon. She walked up to the bed, on it was a note. It read,

"Princess, I know somewhat what your home was like, so I want to show you something. It might make you feel more at home. Meet me in the garden directly outside the palace. Trust me, you will be amazed.
~Vegeta"

What amazed Serenity more was that it was written in Lunarian, and that language was known only to a very select few outside the royal family. She smiled and changed into her bedclothes, and fell asleep.


~Present~
Vegeta killed Nappa. That fool couldn't even kill a third-class baka. Now, Vegeta and Goku were fighting. So far, it looked like they were evenly matched, but Vegeta had a trick up his sleeve.

"Kakerot, this is something your father made! How ironic that you will die by your father's own invention!" the Saiya-jin shouted as he prepared a ki ball. Vegeta tossed it up in the air, where it exploded, and cast a light on all below it. He stared at the light that was emitted, and slowly began to change into an Oozaru. Vegeta then started marching around looking for Goku.


~Usagi's Dream/Memories~
It was morning now, and Serenity was getting ready to go find the dinning hall, she was starving. {A.N. Serenity can eat just like Usagi, so when she sea's how much Saiya-jins eat, she might be surprised that she isn't the only one.} She also was going to meet Vegeta at the garden a little while after breakfast. As to what he would show her, Serenity had no clue, but she knew he was trying to impress her.

By the time the sun began to set, Serenity was getting impatient. She really did want to see the surprise Vegeta had for her, but he could have told her when to be there. 'No time, honestly, how will he ever rule? Vegeta's almost beginning to remind me of Endymon.' Serenity shuddered at the thought. He mother had been telling her that she was to marry the Prince of Earth, because he was a prince. Serenity didn't know why everyone insisted on calling him a prince, Endymon was of no royal birth {A.N. Thus the title 'Play-prince'}. The only reason she could think of, would be that he was supposed to be a good holder for the Golden Crystal. Or was it something else? Serenity never felt close to Endymon. She went through all the proper things one would say to a fiancé, but she never felt anything but a loathing for the baka. Serenity let a small smile come to her lips at the thought of Vegeta being her fiancé. He, unlike Endymon, knew how actual people should be treated. Endymon acted like he was better then anyone.
He had even told Serenity that he would rule her when the time came. His exacted words had been "You, and your kingdom will be mine to rule. You may be the future holder of the Silver Crystal {A.N. I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW IT'S SPELLED!!! *breaks down sobbing* NOOO!!!}, but you will belong to me before that is so. Your mother wants you to marry me, and you can't go against her wishes!" After that Endymon had walked off practically laughing his head off. Serenity had imagined what it would be like if he suddenly dropped dead, but immediately chastised herself for that thought.

The Lunarian no Hime was so lost in her thoughts, that she didn't hear Vegeta approach.

"Hello, tenshi," He whispered in her ear, making her jump at the closeness. "It's time for your surprise." Vegeta almost casually took her hand, leading her to someplace new.

It was a very short walk to… To wherever it was. {A.N. keep you guessing, ne?} Vegeta had told Serenity to close her eyes along the way, so she had yet to see what he wanted to show her. Vegeta pulled her in front of him, and said, "Open your eyes, Princess,"

Serenity opened her eyes to something she wasn't expecting. Vegeta had taken her inside a cave, looking outside there was a lake. The moon light was reflecting off the lake, onto the walls. But it didn't look like regular moonlight, the walls were reflective, and looked to be made out of some type of crystal. {A.N. I don't think I described that right… It was supposed to look like diamond reflecting the moonlight from the lake.}

"Wow…" Serenity muttered, totally taken in by what she saw. She glanced around, fully taking in the beauty of it all.

"That's not all, tenshi," Vegeta muttered in her ear, tantalizing close. His hand came forward. He was holding something.

Serenity opened her hands to receive what he had. Vegeta opened his fist. Inside was a locket. {A.N. Think the necklace from the first chapter.} On the front was an engraving of a star sitting on the curve of a crescent moon. Serenity opened the clasp to see what was inside. It was the same stuff on the walls, and when she looked at it, a picture of Vegeta and herself came into view.

Vegeta blinked at the image, and then laughed. "That, Princess, must be what you truly wish for. This locket only shows your heart's greatest desire. The crystal is made of something that sees into your very soul."

Vegeta guided Serenity back to the palace, and up to his room. {A.N. MAKE UP YOUR OWN LEMON CAUSE I WON'T WRITE ONE. But Usa and Vegeta do conceive a child here, I won't write how it happens! So there!}

Serenity looked up at the prince. Yes, she saw why her heart felt like she needed him by her forever, but how could she go against her mother's word, and not marry Endymon? Serenity had to get away fast. She felt like if she didn't, she would break and let herself fall in love with someone she couldn't.

"I-I-I'm sorry Vegeta. I have to go." With that Serenity ran out of the room, nearly tripping over her dress in her urgency.

Vegeta nearly chased after her. 'No,' he told himself, 'Serenity has to face this on her own. I'll see you when you change your mind, Usa-chan.' It took all of Vegeta's will power to not break down ad cry over what he knew he must be losing. Vegeta's fist clenched, but one tear made it past his will, and slid down his cheek. He wiped it away, and looked down at it in astonishment. Vegeta, prince of the mighty Saiya-jin race, had let a tear slip down his face.


~A Few Hours later (still Usagi's memories)~
Serenity lay on her bed, the tears freely flowing. Serenity didn't know why she should feel so much for the prince, when she knew she was destined to marry the Prince of Earth. She was supposed to have feelings for Endymon, and only Endymon. Not some prince of a distant race. Serenity looked at the locket with the uncertainty that had been upon her for the past two hours. She didn't know whether she really wanted that image of her and Vegeta to come true. She just didn't know whether it was something Vegeta had made appear or whether her own heart truly conjured it into being.

It was just too much to take, this planet of warriors. Serenity didn't really know how to act around them. They leered at her when she walked in the corridors or if she was in counsel with King Vegeta. Serenity knew that she could ignore it from King Vegeta, but the rest she just didn't know how much more she could take. But the treaty was signed. Serenity really had no business staying on this barbaric planet anymore. Except Vegeta, and Serenity wasn't sure she could let herself have him.

Serenity sighed and turned over on her bed. She still could try for a decent nights sleep. Just as the hime began to drift off, two certain someones burst into the room.

"Princess! We need to leave immediately!" came the voices of Haruka and Michiru, Princesses of Uranus and Neptune.

"What? Why?" Serenity asked.

"The moon is being attacked! Hurry, we must go. We have to use Sailor Teleport as it as already. Henshin (sp?) quick!"

Serenity transformed as fast as she could, clasped hands with the other two and teleported to the moon.


~Moon Kingdom (Usa's memories)
The palace that had once been her home was now destroyed. Sailor Moon looked down at her fallen people. It was her fault. It was all her fault that she didn't get there fast enough to save her people. Serenity detransformed and collapsed into a pile, crying about what was happening. She was so drawn in on herself that she didn't even hear the screams of her two remaining friends as they two went down, or even the sounds of Beryl's evil laughter.

The evil Queen stepped towards the fallen Princess. This would be her victory, she knew it. She would now have full control over this sector of time and space. Beryl prepared a ball of nega-energy that had enough power to decimate the entire kingdom, and threw it at Serenity's form. Serenity didn't even feel the pain that coursed through her body. Only one thought crossed her mind and traveled to her mouth, "I love you, Vegeta." Serenity got those words out with her last breath, than died.

~Vegeta-sei (Vegeta from the past)~
Vegeta sat bolt right up in bed. He knew what had just happened. During that time he spent with Serenity, he had bonded with her. So he knew that his tenshi had just died. This time, Vegeta did break down and cry. Vegeta cried over what he had, and what he had just lost. Vegeta had lost more then his tenshi, he lost the child. When Serenity had fallen asleep in his arms, Vegeta could already feel a new ki beginning to grow from within her. Vegeta ended up crying himself to sleep. He didn't wake for three days. One day for each of the lifes' that he lost, Serenity's, the child's, and his own. Vegeta would never be complete without the princess.


~Moon Kingdom~
Beryl's laugh echoed throughout the still planetary body. They were all dead. Everyone of them. At least, that's what she thought. Unknown to her, Queen Serenity had lived long enough to watch her daughter die. 'Please, Silver Crystal, take all of those who died her to be born a thousand years into the future.' The Crystal granted her wish, by using her own life energy. Queen Serenity's life winked out as the Crystal sent them to the future. But unknown to Queen Serenity, she hadn't enough energy to be sent a thousand years through time. Instead, it only sent them a year ahead.


~Present: desert~
Vegeta punched in the buttons to bring his pod to him. He had failed, and it was time to go. The door opened, reveling his tenshi. He hoped she remembered who she was.




So… how was that? I decided to leave you hanging there. So there! My story wouldn't have made sense unless I only sent them one year ahead. *shrugs* my story, my plot, and nothing you can do about it! Wait for the next part! Mwhahaha! Vegeta's gunna get the order to kill Usa!!! What will he do???
