A/N: By the way, the evil bad guy in this is not a made up character. I based him on Muu from Monster Rancher (but that doesn't mean anyone else from MR will be in it, don't worry) Someone told me 'Muu' means Evil in Japanese, so I decided he would be suitable for playing the role of the main baddie in my fic. Anyways, on with the crappy fic I say!!

Z Warriors A.E.
~Chapter Two~

Ami sat silently, watching the bright full moon with a look of concern and fear in her large blue eyes. Mina and Makoto had never been this late before. Surely they would have called if something important had come up? What was keeping them?

Cupping her hands in her lap, Ami sighed lightly. Maybe she wouldn't feel so overly worried if it weren't for the way Usagi had been acting that afternoon. She had been so distant; nothing at all like her usual nutty self. Her eyes had held a hidden mixture of confusion and fear.
Ami chewed her lip nervously. She hadn't felt this 'phantom evil force' before, but nownow the air seemed so dense; so dead. It was as if something dark and powerful was nearing closer by the minute. Maybe it was already here. Maybe it had already gotten to Makoto and -
No! I have to think positively. There is no sense in getting worked up over nothing. I guess my only choice is to wait for everything to play out.

A pair of bloodshot eyes quietly kept their watch on the young, blue haired princess of Mercury.
Ami's eyes suddenly widened as she heard a nearby rustling in the bushes. She froze. It had to be larger than a cat, whatever it was.

Ami promptly rose to her feet. "Minako? Makoto?" No answer came. "You two, this isn't funny anymore. We've been worried sick!" Her eyes narrowed as she tried to see in the dark. But neither Makoto nor Minako's reassuring voice answered. Ami's eyes widened in fright again, as a shadowy creature slowly emerged from the dark, crooked trees.


~*~*~*~

Usagi sighed loudly and began whistling and drumming her fingers on the hard, wooden table beside her. Rei glared at the girl over the steaming rim of her teacup. The young princess of Mars was as worried as Usagi and Ami were about their friends. However, deciding to stay calm seemed to be her best option at that moment. A little meditation would settle her nerves. Yet, with Usa-chan around, she was having difficulty concentrating.

"Will you please stop that already?" She hissed, gritting her teeth. Usagi didn't seem to hear her however, and continued with her little out-of-tune melody.

Fangs bared, Rei lunged at the unsuspecting Meatball-head, grabbing her by the collar. "STOP THAT RACKET!!!" the dark haired teen growled, dropping Usagi. The clueless girl fell to the ground with a loud *thud*. Usagi looked up at her supposed friend, wide eyed, bottom lip quivering.

"That hurt!" she whined, "What exactly did I do to deserve that?!" she whimpered, rubbing her now painful backside.

Rei snorted, "Breathe, that's what!" Usagi glared at her, preparing herself for another cat-fight, until Ami's sudden, piercing scream sounded from outside.

The two girls immediately leapt to their feet and raced out onto the temple's wooden porch; only to find Chibi Usa clinging to Ami's chest, fear plastered all over her face.

Usagi gasped, "Chibi Usa!" Chibi Usa instantly broke away from Ami's grasp, and flung herself into Usagi's arms, her voice choked with sobs.
"He's after me!" Chibi Usa whimpered, hugging Usagi closer. Her eyes were bloodshot from her salty tears. "He'll come here! He'll get you like he got the others!" The young pink-haired girl babbled on. Ami studied Chibi Usa silently before looking back into the darkness. She shivered a little, feeling the familiar chill of evil in the air.

"Do you think it could be the Negaverse?" Rei asked anxiously.

Usagi frowned, as she held the shivering Chibi Usa in her arms. "You bet it is! And when I find whoever's responsible for scaring Chibi Usa like this, I'm gonna-"

"Usagi" Ami whispered. Usagi paused, and glanced up at Ami curiously. "UsagiI'm not so sure that this is the Negaverse."

"What!?" Rei gasped, unbelieving.

"Very good, Mercury," came a hidden, unfamiliar voice. "I'm impressed." A shadow descended over the small group huddled together on the Temple's wooden porch. The stranger hovered in the sky, silhouetted against the shining moon overhead. Staring up into the face of the shadow, the four girls were able to make out two glowing white eyes glaring down on them.


~*~*~*~

The blinding white sun in the icy blue sky, shone down on the two friends as they trained in the cold, harsh mountains. Tien wasn't as strong as many of the other Z warriors, but he had certainly grown powerful through their many years of friendship. Chaotzu watched, fascinated as his friend continued his attack on a particularly large boulder. He began coughing violently as an enormous cloud of dust, left from the attack, engulfed him. After the giant dust cloud disappeared, Chaotzu looked around for his friend. Tien had collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

"Uhh, Tien? Are you okay?" Chaotzu asked, kneeling beside him on the fluffy white snow.

Tien opened all of his three eyes and smiled reassuringly. "Yep, I'm fine. Boy, I haven't trained like this in a long time." He groaned, rubbing the back of his neck. "But I have to get stronger if we're gonna beat these androids!"

Chaotzu grinned from ear to ear. "You know I'll help in anyway, Tien!" Tien glanced at his small friend, smiling fondly.

Suddenly, a power surge ripped through their bodies, alerting them to the oncoming danger. Both Tien and Chaotzu leapt to their feet, searching for the possessor of the great power. But there was no man or beast anywhere in site.

"Wh-what was that?!" Chaotzu gasped, glancing from left to right. Tien growled deep in his throat. The power he was sensing was overwhelming. Taking a guess, he'd say it was even larger than the ex-Frieza, and the mysterious lavender haired Saiyan's power levels merged as one! Butstrange. He couldn't sense its life force.

"This thingIt doesn't even have a soulso it can't be Goku!!" Tien's face was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and his large fists were balled up so tightly that his knuckles were turning whiter than the surrounding snow. Chaotzu expected him to explode with frustration any second.

The power level of this thing was increasing by the second.

"I-I don't understand if it's not alive, what is it?" Chaotzu stuttered, edging a little closer to his friend. Tien turned his gaze to the blue sky above. Dark, swirling clouds were closing in on them, and a faint rumble of thunder could be heard from far off.

Tien frowned. A storm? That was sudden...

~*~*~*~

Slowly, the dark shadow descended from the air, touching down on the ground just a couple of feet away from the small group of girls huddled together infront of the temple.

"Whawh-wh-what's that power I sense?!" Usagi shrieked as the dark stranger advanced.

Ami shivered, edging closer to the others as she made her conclusion. "It's coming from him," she murmured. The others gasped in shock.

Usagi's eyes widened and she flung her arms around Rei. "You can't be serious!!" she wailed.

The stranger smirked, folding his muscular arms across his chest. "Right again, Mercury. However, what you are sensing isn't even close to my ultimate power." he hissed.

Rei stepped in front of her friends protectively. "Who are you!? What are you doing here? Do you work for the Negaverse?!" she demanded.

"My, my. So many questions, so little time," he snickered. "But don't worry, you'll know in time my sweet."

Without a moment's notice, Rei thrust her hand into the air and shouted, "MARS STAR POWER!"

Ami cried out to her in vain. "Rei stop! You can't beat him! You don't know how powerful he is!" Still, Rei ignored her, continuing to transform into Sailor Mars.

Leaping into a fighting stance, Rei focused her power into a magnificent firebird which rose high into the air before diving at the mysterious stranger. Turning all her power against their aggressor, the area in front of the Temple was soon engulfed in burning hot fire. Sailor Mars stood infront of the enormous wall of fire, panting heavily. Surely the stranger couldn't have survived an attack that powerful. She smiled triumphantly. He would be weakened at least. Turning back to the already transformed Sailor Mercury and Sailormoon, Mars winked and nodded her head. "Do your stuff, Sailormoon!"

Sailormoon nodded unsurely. "Uhmalright." Swinging the moon sceptre above her head, Sailormoon called out her attack, sending thousands of little crescent moons into the raging fire. The remaining Sailor Scouts waited as the flames finally subsided. Sailormoon's eyes narrowed as she began to make out a single, solemn figure standing amidst the burning flames.

Sailor Mars grinned happily and turned her back on the wall of fire, only to see Usagi shaking uncontrollably in her boots. "What are you staring at Meatball-head?!" Rei asked indignantly.

"Bu-bu but l-look!!" Usagi pointed a shaky finger at the mysterious stranger who was now surrounded by a peculiar golden glow. Rei didn't even see him before his large, powerful fist connected with her jaw, slamming her into the hard ground.

"Sailor Mars!" Sailormoon and Mercury shouted in unison. Chibi Usa cowered in the background as her friend fell to the ground. She wished with all her heart that she could help; but what could she do? She was just a little baby, like Usagi always called herbut then, Usagi was Sailormoon. And Sailormoon had faith in her. Chibi Usa shook her head and hugged the Luna ball closer to her chest. She had no power.

Rei painfully opened one weary eye. Her body was badly bruised and covered in many bloody scratches. Sailormoon and Sailor Mercury helped their fallen comrade to her feet. Mars winced slightly; the ground felt very unsteady beneath her feet. However, she wouldn't let a little dizzy spell stop her now! Wriggling out of her friends grasp, Sailor Mars began marching towards her enemy.

"Sailor Mars!! What are you doing?!" Mercury asked, startled as her friend turned towards the phantom warrior. Her eyes were burning with the need for revenge. She was going to face him alone no matter what. For some reason, it felt right to battle this enemy alone, even if she couldn't win.

"MarsIGNITE!!!" A ring of blazing hot flames separated Sailor Mars from her friends, leaving only the dark mysterious warrior and herself.

"Sailor Mars! Sailor Mars get back here!! Please, come back!!" Usagi screamed hysterically, trying to find someway through the blinding hot flames. Mercury tried to diminish the flames with her aqua illusion attack, but it was no use. Sailor Mars had used her full power on the enormous Ring of Fire and it seemed almost impenetrable. Sailormoon collapsed in front of the fire, sobs wracking her small form.

"Sailor Mars Rei, please come back."

The stranger smiled darkly. "Face it, Sailor brat. You're no match for me. Cooperate and I'll make your death quick and painless" an orange sphere appeared in the centre of his palm. "Well, almost."

Sailor Mars stood, ready to attack. "You won't get me this time! No matter who you are!" The stranger simply cocked his head to the side and smirked in reply. Sailor Mars leapt into the air, screaming her attack. "MARS CELESTIAL FIRESURROUND!!!" Hundreds of fire-rings encircled him, burning through his flesh. He growled as he watched his own skin sizzle and burn. He turned his coal black eyes on the young girl before him.

"You stupid bitch! That's going to leave a mark!" he snarled, and began dusting himself off. Rei hated being made a fool of, and she didn't take too fondly at being called a bitch either.

She growled fiercely, and began focusing her energy into the great fearsome firebird. "MARS FIREBIRD STRIKE!!!" The stranger looked up to see an enormous phoenix dive towards him. He snorted, firing a small ki blast at the fire beast, killing it instantly. Mars gasped in shock, her dark eyes growing wide with fear, for now she knew that the outcome of this pointless battle had already been decided before it started.

"Well, well, Sailor Mars. I must say it was a very nice bonfire you put on." He chuckled, and scratched his chin idly, "but you're missing the fireworks."

Rei's brow furrowed as her adversary suddenly disappeared into thin air. A split second later, the phantom warrior materialised behind her, hammer-striking her back. Rei was thrown to the ground by the powerful blow. The large warrior settled on the ground in front of her, smiling menacingly. "Like I told you, Sailor Mars. You are nothing less than a snivelling weakling. Here's some good advise: Know your enemy." He chuckled evilly, "Not that that will help you now."

Rei winced as the piercing, white-hot pain shot up her back. Her aggressor quickly delivered another heavy kick to her side, revelling in the sound of her ribs breaking and his young opponent screaming in agony.

"Oops, did I break something?" He sneered at her shivering form. "You know, I was supposed to send you to my master however, you're in such a mess I doubt you could be of any use to him. Pah, such a weak power level." He tutted.

Rei stared up at him unbelieving. Were there actually others stronger than him? Even if, by a fluke, she managed to get passed him, how could she possibly hope to defeat anyone stronger?

The large warrior grinned as he read her mind. "Oh yes. It's true. My Master just happens to be the strongest being in the universe." He laughed. "And I do believe your friends, Jupiter and Venus are making his acquaintance right about now." He grinned evilly as Sailor Mars closed her eyes in fear, not for herself, but for her friends. She could feel them disappearing already.

"Mercury was right! Not even the Negaverse could be so cruel." Rei cried, clutching her torn side, the blood now soaking through her Sailor fuku.

"Hmm, almost right about that one. Queen Beryl is a feisty one though." He grinned, his eyes twinkling mischievously.

Sailor Mars' amethyst eyes widened in horror. Did she really hear that name? "That that's impossible." She groaned, her voice hoarse and tired as she struggled against the pain. "We defeated Queen Beryl!"

The warrior smiled, "That is the beauty of The Evil'. You see, kid, once upon a time I too had been defeated. By a weakling Namek and my brother no less!" He cursed the wretched memory. "However, now that the Evil' has been resurrected, the armies of the Underworld have risen again!" The large man continued to circle his fallen opponent, enjoying her terrified expressions. "Aww, don't let that frown spoil your pretty face, Mars." He said, gripping her chin between his thumb and forefinger.

"Whowho are you?" Rei whispered faintly. The exhaustion was getting to her.

He grinned, "My name is Radditz, part of one of the most powerful species in the universe." He boasted proudly, hands on hips.

Rei forced a smirk. "Well, Radditz, I think your race is pathetic and that you are the weakling." Rei, still clutching her side, began rising to her feet. "What are you without love and compassion?" She paused, gasping for air, "...You don't know anything about the people of this world. Good will always conquer over Evil! No matter what!" Rei now stood at her full height, her small fists curled into balls and ready to fight. Radditz stared at her, his mouth gaping open a little. She was stronger than he had originally believed. However, he grinned, it was nothing to worry about.

Rei suddenly rushed at him, her fist alive with burning hot fire. However Radditz, breaking out of his trance, caught her fist in one fell swoop. Growling fiercely, he twisted her arm until he could hear the sickening crack of her bones. Mars fell to her knees, speechless from the pain.

He snarled, "Well Sailor Mars. It seems I do know a little about the Humans of this world." Suddenly, Radditz dispensed an orange ki blast, firing it straight through her chest, "They are all fools!" He spat out, letting her limp body fall to the ground.

Radditz glared down at the young girl with a look of disgust. "Do you still believe Good conquers over Evil?" But he received no answer. "Didn't think so." Grinning, Radditz disappeared through the towering Ring of Fire, in search for new prey.

One lone tear escaped from her sleepy amethyst eyes. She was paralysed. The pain Rei had felt earlier was slipping away, but she was nowhere near recovering. Her senses were becoming tired, her vision blurring. It was getting darker.

However, she had succeeded in her life's mission: To keep the princess safe.


~*~*~*~

High in the ever-darkening sky, the white caped Namek flew with a look of deep distress. Not only did he have to deal with a new being dwelling inside of him (and one of which he was not to fond of!), somehow he had to think of a plan before this damned 'Evil' arrived. And by the speed of which its power was growing, Piccolo realised he was fast running out of time.

His memory continued to replay the conversation between Kami and Sailor Pluto. The terrifying images Pluto had described to the elderly Namek stained his fearful mind: Images of the Earth and all it's inhabitants burning in a fiery hell for all eternity. It was not something he wished for anyone to experience, least of all Gohan.

But it was what this new Evil' would bring. From what Piccolo could gather this new creature knew no fear, knew no ultimate power; for his power was never ending. And with his newly resurrected armies from the Underworld, how could the Z Warriors possibly hope to defeat him?!

Piccolo quickly shook off his fear and continued to head for the Son residence. If hero's really do exist, he mused, Goku's the first on my list.

~*~*~*~

A young boy stirred in his dreamless sleep. Slowly, one by one, he opened his bleary, blue eyes. Yawning, the youngster sat up in his bed, shivering a little. The window was open, and a cool breeze was flowing into his room. He groaned, forcing himself to move from the comfort of his bed. Running a hand through his messy, sandy coloured hair, the little boy stooped out of the window, taking in a deep breath of fresh air.

Suddenly, his attention was caught by three young girls running into the shadowed alleyway beneath him. The two older girls wore strange sailor fukus. The first had short, cropped blue hair and the second had long, blonde pigtails with what looked like meatballs on the top of her head. The little boy sweat-dropped before turning his attention to the young girl, clinging tightly onto the meatball-head's' hand. She looked to be around eight or nine, with candy pink hair in the same pigtailed, meatball-head style.

The little boy frowned, "Gee, it's a bit early for Halloween." He whispered, but not quite quietly enough.

Sailormoon jumped out of her skin, and began glancing from left to right. "Uhh, who said that?! Where are you! I'm not afraid of you! Beware, for I am Sailormo-Eeee!!" Usagi shrieked as she noticed a mangy rat crawl across her boot.

Sailor Mercury hushed her quickly, lifting a finger to her lips. "Sailormoon, we have to keep quiet," Mercury whispered. "Somehow we have to stop this monster and help Rei."

Usagi's face saddened as she remembered how Rei had disappeared into the burning Ring of Fire. "You're right but I shouldn't be the one hiding." Usagi paused, her eyes wavering a little. "Ami, stay with Chibi Usa," Sailormoon ordered. Rolling up her sleeves she began marching towards the entrance to the alleyway, ignoring both her friends pleas to stop.

The young boy, his curious face still poking out of his window, gasped in horror as he noticed the advancing danger. From his height, he could see the creature heading towards the entrance of the alleyway. His long, ebony hair matched his cold dark eyes, and by the size of his muscles, it looked as if he could crush a car with one hand.

The little boy's throat turned dry. Was that what the funny girls in their clownish costumes were going to fight?

"Meatballhead! Look out! " he shouted from his window. Usagi spun around and glared at the little boy.

"Uhh!! Why does everybody love calling me that!?" she shouted angrily, shaking her fist in the air, "This is a royal hairstyle!!"

"Oh Miss moon!?" Raditz sang as he turned the palms of his hands towards her. Usagi barely had time to turn around before the giant warrior fired hundreds of mini orange spheres at her. Usagi she felt herself being pinned to the ground by Ami who had once again risked her life to save the dynamic princess. The two Sailor Soldiers heaved themselves up off the dirty ground to face the Saiyan warrior.

"Who are you!? And what have you done with our friends!?" Mercury cried out, fearing the worst for their lost Sailor Scouts.

Radditz simply smirked and folded his arms across his broad chest. "You need not worry about your weakling friend, Sailor Mars. She is no longer of any use to you," he hissed wryly. "As for your other two friends, I'm sure Master Muu will take very good care of them." He snickered, "You three should be honoured. For now you get to witness the true power of the Saiyan people!"

A golden glow began to surround the mighty Saiyan warrior as he began to power up. His jet black eyes began to burn with blue/green fire, and he let out a terrorising roar which shook the very core of the surrounding buildings. Sailor Mercury and Sailormoon wrapped their arms tightly around Chibi Usa's shivering form as the ground began to shake with tremendous power radiating from the almighty Saiyan...
