Trunks Brief was currently seething in a corner of the living room where everyone was. No, seething didn't even begin to describe how he was feeling. He had lost the one he had fought so hard for. Right now he was out of comission. All five of his senses were shut down.. all he could focus on was trying to re-open the link between him and the love of his life, but he had to wait for her to become conscious.
"Look at him.." Bulma said gently watching the older version of her son glare at a spot on the floor.
"I know…" ChiChi said. "But I can feel his pain, its scary not knowing what's going on with your love, even worse when they die." ChiChi said.
"Uh-huh." Bulma agreed. "Or even when you can't feel them through the link."
"Yeah…" ChiChi said looking back at her hands that was wringing the life out of a napkin that would be nonexistent soon. She then glanced at the scouts that were scattered about the room finding their own way to reassure themselves that everything would work out
"Don't worry.. we'll get her back." Goku said placing a hand on her shoulder. Gohan was staring out of the window with Videl still crying in his shoulder.
"Videl for the millionth time, it wasn't your fault. She chose to walk home instead of flying, it wasn't your fault not anyone's fault." She then fell unconscious into a void zone.
"He's right you know Helian.." A gentle voice said.
"Huh??" Videl looked up and tried locating the person. "Helios??" She asked seeing the glowing ball in front of her blue eyes. She grabbed and saw the golden crystal in her hands.
"Serenity-hime is fine.." Helios's voice rang out. "I just guess I'm sorry for not having the strength to see you longer."
"It's fine… Do you know where Serenity is?" There was a pause.
"No. I just came to give you the crystal. I'm sure things will work out just fine Helian." She said able to see a flickering image of the one she called her brother.
"I'll believe you this time, don't think I've still forgiven you for sticking some of that earth candy, Endymion had given you, in my hair." She saw him smile.
"Alright.. I have to go back now Helian… but I'll be back I promise."
"Sure.." She said as she slowly came into consciousness.
"Videl…" She felt herself being shaken by Gohan. A slight moan escaped from her liips and the crystal fell from her grasp.
"Serenity…" Icebox admired the girl in the glass coffin. He traced the outer lines of her face gently and smiled a small smile. Now that he had his angel, he didn't feel excited. He still felt empty and disappointed like something was interesting. For some reason nothing seemed right. It was those damned words she had said to him. "No, Good can't always winn. It will begin to lose eventually."
"Of course it will…" Serena murmured stirring from sleep. "But evil will eventually slip up and someone fighting for good will take that time to do something."
"The spell wasn't strong enough. You.."
"Woke-up too soon?? Energy purge from the crystal." She stated sitting. "Why did you tell me you only crave power?"
"Because that 's what I do." Icebox sneered. "Wasn't that obvious, Princess??"
"No, not really. Its funny, one would think you being evil would want to destroy the ultimate lifeform so you can be the ultimate."
"I could never do that to you princess." He helped her out of the glass coffin.
"Why?" She asked him.
"I have told you many times before I want you by my side, as my queen, my beloved."
"Then it was a lie." She said bringing a slight perplexed look to his face. "If you only crave power then you would destroy me, the ultimate being so the title would belong to you. The ultimate being has much power, almost endless." She said making him frown. "And since you desire my company next to you you obviously crave company as well."
"You're trying to confuse me." He accused her as many thoughts rushed th rough his mind.
"No, I'm merely stating facts. Your mother knew I was Ultimate, she tried to kill me so she can be ultimate. Your father thought my father was ultimate and tried to blow him up making him ultimate." Serena said. "I mean why would they go through so much trouble trying to kill us if they knew there were others stronger. Not once did your mother offer to make me part of her perfect world, nor did your father offer the same to my father." Serena said feeling the confusion boil up in him.
"Stop talking.." He said suddenly.
"Why?? Because you don't want me to be right??" She asked. "Your different from your parent's. Neither of the had found true love until they were sent to HFIL (Home for infinte losers). You on the other hand had fallen in love with me from the beginning. That's saying a lot." She said as she stumbled onto her butt when he pushed her.
"You're lying and only trying to stall until your friends come!!! They won't come!! I swear it!!" He yelled and left the door open. Serena sighed.
"Poor guy." She looked at the open door. "Strange how two complete evil beings could create a son who only looks for companionship." She sighed. "Trunks… Gohan, you probably wouldn't be so upset if you could only see the state he was in now." She thought sadly.
"… he was in now.." Both Trunks and Gohan caught the ending to her statement and they both perked up.
"Serena?!?!" They both asked sending glances at eachother and smirked when everyone else looked at them.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" They heard a yell form the other end of their link and they rubbed their temples at the same time. "oops!! Hi!!" They both imagined her with the common Son grin plastered on her face.
"Serena?!?!" ChiChi grabbed Gohan by the collar of his shirt. "Is my baby ok?!?!?!"
"Mom…" Gohan choked out. "She's fine." Gohan said slinking to the floor when his mother released him.
"Good.. now where is she?!?!" Amara asked being restrained by Michelle to keep her cool.
"She's not sure.." Trunks replied.
"But we have an idea when, she is." Gohan said.
"What do you mean by when??" Ami asked and everyone's eyes widened.
"The past!!!" Everyone said at once.
"The time is near Hime…." Trista looked at the mirror that went back to the past. Where they had first met Icebox.
"Kami-sama, Trista, stop talking in riddles and be upforward for once." Selenity-sama said to the time guardian making her glare.
"Well, the time is near for several things, but the number one being she will finally find Sailor Star and her true power."
"Finally?!? You mean to tell me she doesn't remember that Star was.." Selenity trailed off.
"Iie. She has no clue. Only when she finds Star's true identity she will remember the original Sailor Star." Trista sent an all knowing smile to Selenity. "Not to mention a couple more surprises." Trista said when Selenity stared figuring out the meaning to her words.
"Your not saying…."
"Exactly… but no one knows yet." Trista said and the two women grinned at eachother, then finally went into full blown laughter.
