~Aftermath~
Yukio stared down at the sleeping couple over his wife's shoulders and grimaced slightly. He turned Keiko around harshly and stared into her dark eyes with a fire burned by hate. "How can you stare at them like you care? How can you give the enemy the satisfaction knowing that you are their friend? Don't you care about what they did to us? Don't you care about me?" Keiko stared into his eyes and felt her own begin to well up with tears. She lowered her head slightly letting her black hair fall forward slightly. Yukio stared at her and held her close. "My love. Do not fear. Your old emotions will soon return and you will forget them. Till then let us send General Kudo to play with them some more. Soon my love we shall attack them and they will know of our anger and hatred towards those who have destroyed our planet and kind." He led Keiko back to the bed and sat her upon it. He called out loudly General Kudo and in a matter of a seconds a tall handsome man appeared. He had dark hair that fell into his dark blue eyes and he smiled sweetly at Keiko before bowing at Lord Yukio.
"My Lord." He stared at the ground waiting for Yukio's permission to rise.
"Rise General Kudo. I have a mission for you. I want you to destroy the one they call Sailor Moon or the one that calls himself Kakarot. One or both will suffice greatly. They are their strongest warriors. Take them out and the others shall before our might!" General Kudo stood and listened and smiled slightly. His pearly white teeth flashed into a feral grin.
"I do as you command My Lord. My Lady." He bowed before both of them before leaving.
"Now watch as the fun begins my love." They both turned towards the mirror that Keiko was staring through earlier. Biting her lip gently she wished she could warn her friend. But she knew she could not for fear of her Lord's wrath. Sighing inwardly she knew she would have to wait until she could find some small way to rescue her friend from this chaos.

The air was cool and breezy. The sun's rays filtered through the temple windows letting it's warmth fall upon the sleeping lovers. Gently caressing their bodies with it's bright beams. Neither stirred until Goku stepped into the room and watched them silently. He rarely got an opportunity to see Vegeta so calm and this was a nice change as he saw his friend's arms wrapped protectively around Drea. The white sheet that was wrapped around their bodies made them seem almost surreal. As if he was looking at a painting that he did not want to disturb. With a gentle sigh he walked over to Drea's side and gently shook her shoulder. She mumbled something in her sleep about 'five more minutes mom' and snorting slightly before falling back to sleep. Goku laughed quietly before attempting to wake her again. For another minute she refused to awaken her slumber and when she did she clutched onto her sheet up to her chest and screamed. Startled Vegeta jumped from the bed in a fighter's stance, prepared to blow up anything that had disturbed his sleep. It took him a few moments to realize that it was merely Goku who was in the room and stared down at Drea with an accusatory look on his face.
"Damnit woman! Never scream like that unless your dead!" Vegeta grumbled some more and tilted his head slightly as he saw the blush that rose on Goku and Drea's cheeks. "What?" He asked them with a scowl.
"Um...Vegeta, I love you and all....but um....could you maybe put something on?" Vegeta glanced down after Drea's words and shrugged slightly.
"It's nothing you've never seen before. I'm sure Kakarot has one too." He simply stated as he walked towards the bathroom. Drea turned to Goku and smiled lightly.
"Sorry you had to see that!" She apologized but Goku shook his head as he put a hand behind his head and scratched slightly.
"It's okay. Well I should make sure the other girls are up and ready. I'm pretty sure you want to meet the other Sailor Senshi." Drea nodded as Goku turned to leave the room.
"Prepare yourself for an attack." Drea mumbled as Goku was at the door. He turned slowly and stared at the blond on the bed who's eyes had started to glaze over. "Prepare." As her eyes closed she collapsed back onto the bed. Goku ran over and shook her slighly in an attempt to wake her from her faint.
"Prepare for what Drea?" He asked her but was answered with a mumble. Vegeta had just come out of the shower a blue towel wrapped around his muscular waist and stared at Goku before growling low in his throat.
"What have you done to my mate Kakarot?" He demanded as he stalked closer to the bed.
"I didn't do anything Vegeta. She just said something about being prepared for an attack and then she passed out." Vegeta stared at him a moment longer before nodding his head.
"Well go prepare the others. I'll take care of her." Goku nodded and left the room quickly to gather the Sailor Senshi. Vegeta stared down at his lover and brushed a hand through her long silver blond hair. He waited patiently and he was soon rewarded when her stormy blue eyes opened and she smiled at him.
"Hey sexy." She whispered and cuddled closer to his body for warmth. She was freezing and Vegeta stopped himself from shivering.
"Hello. What happened?" He asked her quietly and her brow knit together in concentration as her mouth pouted slightly. He resisted the urge to kiss her.
"I'm not sure. I was saying bye to Goku when all of a sudden I was floating outside my body. Like it wasn't me anymore. It was really creepy. Did I say anything?" She asked him and frowned when he stared at her a moment longer.
"Yes. You told Goku to prepare for an attack." She stared at him and he stared back. Quickly she slid from his warmth and stood. Naked and standing in the white beams of sun her hair floated around her like a goddess and she smiled.
"Then I guess we better get ready huh?" He smiled at her before standing up before her and embracing her into a passionate kiss. A few minutes later Drea some how coaxed Vegeta to leave the room so that she could get ready. When she was sure he was gone she turned to the bathroom and entered into the awaiting shower. The streams of hot water pressed their needles into her flesh and she groaned in pain. It hurt her but it felt good at the same time. Her eyes closed she remembered her little 'episode'. She was just saying bye to Goku when she felt another presence in her. It was Keiko. She warned her of her husband's attack against Goku and Sailor Moon. But why? Why was she doing this for her? She was supposed to be loyal to Lord Yukio but here Keiko was helping them. She worried for her friend's safety as she stepped out of the shower and dried herself off. Putting on a pair of blue jeans and a white sweater blouse she found in a closet on she stood before the mirror throwing her long hair into a high ponytail. Taking on last look in the mirror she turned and screamed. In her room stood the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life but he was in her room staring at her with a feral gleam in his eye.
"Aw. I see we finally meet Drea! But I am not after you now. Tell me where is the one they call Sailor Moon and Goku?" His dark blue eyes flashed with annoyance as she stood there staring at him and then she finally stood up straight and stared at him with hatred.
"I won't tell you. Cause your gonna have to go through me first!" He laughed maniacally.
"That can be easily arranged. But I am not in the mood to play games. Till next time Drea!" He grinned before disappearing from where he was standing. The door slammed open and Vegeta charged into the room looking for the enemy. When he saw none he glared at Drea.
"Damnit woman didn't I tell you to scream only when you were dying!" Drea turned at him and flashed him an angry look that made him stop in his direction towards her.
"Get Goku and Serena. We're about to be attacked." Vegeta stared at her a moment longer before turning and leaving the room. Drea took a deep breath as she followed him out and down the corridor where the other Senshi were waiting. Upon entering the room she turned and looked at the three unknown woman.
"Goku are you going to properly introduce us?" Drea turned and spoke with such coldness that Goku stared at her with large eyes before turning to the three women.
"This is Haruka, also known as Sailor Uranus." The tallest of the three stepped forward her short blond hair fell into her eyes slightly and she smiled slightly. Drea almost thought she was a boy for a minute but realized she was female after closer inspection. Drea nodded her head in greeting towards her.
"This is Michiru, also known as Sailor Neptune." A medium height woman stepped forward her blueish colored hair waved around her and her soft eyes stared at her with such happiness that Drea was almost taken aback from it.
"And last but not least is Hotaru, also known as Sailor Neptune." The small girl who healed Vegeta last night stared at her with solemn dark eyes. Her black hair was short and cut slightly below her chin. Her pale skin showed signs that it had barely seen much sun. Drea wondered how someone so young could be a Sailor Senshi.
"I am Drea. And right now I recommend you all transform quickly. Serena you and Goku have to be extra careful because this guy is after you. We must all protect them with everything we have." Drea started to power up and she felt a touch on her arm. Turning she stared at Vegeta who looked at her and shook his head slightly.
"If this fight is for Serena and Kakarot then let them fight it. Let them prove they are the leaders they claim to be." Drea looked at him with some confusement as she powered down. The other Senshi stared at him as if he had gone mad.
"He's right. I've been a leader long enough that I should be able to handle my own enemies. If I need your help Senshi then I will call upon you. But till then let me see how well I do in this. I want to prove this to myself that I am worthy of being your leader." The other Senshi nodded their heads as Serena pulled out what looked like a pen with a heart and a planetary symbol on top.
"Moon Eternal Make-Up!" Serena yelled aloud and she was suddenly in a flurry of ribbons that encircled her nude body quickly. The lights faded and there stood Eternal Sailor Moon. Her fuku was white and the skirt was yellow with a red and black stripe along the bottom. She wore high white boots and long gloves that reached her upper arms. Her meatball hair was done with red clips and the most surprising part of her transformation were the white wings that graced her back. She stared at them with a gentle smile upon her lips. "Well I think I'm ready to take them on." She simply stated and they were all startled by the maniacal laughter that was behind them.
"Well well. Wasn't that just a pretty little show of color?" The man who was in Drea's room earlier stood behind them with his back against a door frame, his arms crossed, and a sinister smile lit his face.
"Whoever you are you picked the wrong day to mess with us! Why don't you take that pretty boy smile off your face and tell us who you are!" Drea growled low in her throat as she issued the challenge.
"Oh such anger from such a pretty young thing. I might have fun playing with you later. But for now I've only come for you Sailor Moon and Goku. Oh and how rude of me! I am General Kudo. A small pleasure to finally meet you." He stepped from the door frame and the shadows framed his body as if they were alive and trying to protect him from the light. Goku stepped forward, he was not powered up, and stared at the man with little interest.
"Hmph. You don't look like much of a challenge. I bet even Sailor Moon can take you on by yourself!" Sailor Moon looked over at him and her face faulted. Was he really going to put this guy on just herself? The General's blue eyes stormed over in fury before changing to one of amusement.
"Are you afraid of me Goku? Is this why you send this little girl to fight me alone? Well no matter you both will be destroyed in a few minutes!" General Kudo grinned and flipped a piece of dark hair behind his shoulder. Goku stared at him and looked towards Serena who stepped forward.
"I'm ready. Let's get this party started." She stated with a shining white smile. She placed a dainty hand against the tiara she wore and spoke aloud, "Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!", soon the tiara was aglow with white energy and it took off from her forhead at a remarkable speed that it took the general by surprise. He crashed through the wall that he was leaning againts earlier and he now lay outside on the ground moaning from the surprise attack. Everyone ran outside to survey the damage that the small woman who only hurled a small decorative object had created. The man on the ground sat up slightly and groaned as he rubbed his head and glared at the Senshi and the Saiyans.
"Nice little parlor trick there Sailor Moon. But now it's my turn and I should mention I don't play well with others." Smirking he raised a black gloved hand into the air and the energy around them trembled with an unseen force. "Atakku Raigeki! (Torpedo attack)" Several pinpoint silver lights shined in the sky and they quickly fell to the Earth. Each second they came closer and the whole group could see the outline of falling torpedos. The Senshi quickly ran around their Princess to protect her and Vegeta placed himself in front of Goku in a protective stance. Goku quickly gave him an appreciative glance as they prepared themselves for the attack. General Kudo laughed manaically as the torpedos rained down upon the warriors. Each time they moved another torpedo would follow them. They realized too late that they could track them. One by one the Senshi fell. Sailor Moon screamed loudly as she clutched on to the hand of Sailor Mars. Her eyes wet with unshed tears stared into the cold heartless ones that gleamed with a hint of an early victory.
"I told you Sailor Moon you are nothing to me. I could easily remove you." He smirked slightly and pointed to the fallin Senshi. "After all I was able to take out your friends in only one blow. The legendary Senshi's destroyed. Now prepare yourself Sailor Moon this will be your final end!" He screamed loudly as he prepared himself for another attack.
"NO!" Sailor Moon's head jerked to her left as she stared into the distraught blond's face. In her arms she clutched on to the barely breathing Vegeta. Each breath he took the more pain etched across his face. It was like staring into an old slow picture movie. The bad guy was making his attack as the heroine stared into the mournful eyes of her new found friend. In her arms she clutched on to Vegeta's wounded body. Her blond hair shook over and around her small shaking frame and she stared at the man who caused this suffering to her. Shakingly she stood up and frowned slightly. Sailor Moon watched with interest as she felt the energy flow around her. Bracing herself she felt the ground shake as the energy flowed from the planet into Drea's already changing body. With fascination she watched the transformation of her her physical appearance to a cold blooded warrior who knew battle and had tasted blood. Whatever of Drea's old personality had completely disappeared in the matter of mere moments. General Kudo feigned some interest as this all took place and then he quickly prepared his next attack when he saw the feral look in Drea's now black eyes.
"Never should have done that bakka. Now you will have to answer to me." Drea's full red lips smirked slightly as she quickly flew into a flurry of attacks on the General. Each blow he met with his own. Each fighter blocking and counter attacking shook the planet to it's core. The fury of the mass amount of energy made the Senshi that remained alive and even Goku stare in surprise. Vegeta blinked rapidly as he focused onto his mate and frowned slightly. She was more powerful at Goku at this point and it infuriated him that a woman was going to beat their enemy. Standing quickly he grimaced from the pain of a thousand cuts that lined his body. His previous injuries still bothered him and he quickly ran to join the fight. He was only stopped by Goku who shook his head at him.
"Let her fight this out Vegeta. You will get your turn next soon enough." Vegeta glared at him and halted his progress of moving towards the fight.
"Have it your way Kakarot." And each remained still to watch the fight that still blazed on before them.
"Why don't you die?!" She screamed through the blazing fury that clenched her jaw shut. Kudo stared at her with little interest as he threw off another one of her attacks. Of all her years of training to fight this one was definately putting her to the test. Her will slipped slightly when she was thrown to the ground and his fists kept connecting to her jaw and ribs. Pain had soon fled her body leaving her to her thoughts as her eyes glazed and her power faded. Flashes of memories flooded her mind and tears pricked the corner of them. Vegeta. Keiko. Each image carried significane with it and Drea's heart cracked at the thought of losing this fight. She was fighting for them to win and set them free. To set them all free from this pointless war. With renewed strength she drew back a bloodied fist and struck him with all her might. He flew off of her and landed on the ground before her. Drea stood shakily on her legs and smirked slightly.
"Bastard. I will show you what pain is truly like and you will beg for death at my hands." Unphazed by Drea's words he renewed his fight with her, his mind still sure that he would win, while his body protested at the strain it was being put under. They both returned to the fight with renewed vigour. Each blow was meant to be the last but still remained the first as each blocked the other's attack. Cries of frustration could be heard from both persons fighting and those who watched below in awe could not comprehend the blood that flew from both fighters. Drops rained down on them and they gasped at the horror that was slowly coming to an end. With a final shout of victory Drea grabbed Kudo by his hair and tightly held onto it as her hands tore into his flesh covering his body with deadly wounds. His screams echoed below him as her hands tore at his beautiful face. She had remained true to her word. Letting him feel what true pain was like as his closed eyes bled red tears. Drea's emotions were lost in a fury of anger and hate. Her body powered up some more. Her hair grew longer and her eyes went pupiless. Screaming in anger her body prepared to launch another series of attacks when her mind finally wrestled control over her emotions and she could feel the man's heart beat slowing. With a cruel smile lifting her lips she waited for his eyes to be open before she kept one hand wrapped around his throat and she brought her other hand forward and released an energy blast into his face. The burning smell of flesh made those with weak stomachs throw up in disgust and those used to the smell watched with serious expressions as Drea landed before them. Her energy lowered and small tears falling to the ground walked to Vegeta hoping he would offer her some comfort. But what surprised her next was when Vegeta looked at her with loath and turned from her. Walking away from and flying towards who knew where. Drea's heart clenched in her body and she turned to Goku for some explanation. But he could not offer her any. With a sad look she stared at the dead bodies of some of the Scouts and stared with such pain that they soon turned from her look. With a heart wrenching sob she too flew from them. In opposite direction she flew from them and where Vegeta might have gone and flew as fast and far as she could until she came unto a tropical island where her crushed and trembling body laid on the sands and her heart wrenched free from it's soul chamber and the people fled the area fearing that they had offended some god. Unkown to her a shaman stayed and watched on as the scene passed on before him. His wise knowing eyes stared at the young woman who laid upon their beach letting her heart pour to the world. Only did he know what the beautiful goddess was going through. History had told legends of one such goddess coming to their island in search of peace because her god had abandoned her out of jealousy. And now he saw that the prophecy was true. Slowly he made his way to her and sat beside her waiting for her eyes to flutter open and stare at him. Only then did he make his move.
Goku stared at the sky as his two friends fled from each other and his heart tore at the thought of trying to figure out who to help first. Drea was in distress over the battle and the thought of Vegeta leaving her. But Vegeta too needed his help to realize that just because there were Saiyans out there stronger than him was no excuse to leave them. With a struggled and pained look he watched the sky once more before making his decision. As he took flight to the air he stared down at the detransformed Sailor Moon. Serena was slowly making her way to her friends. Her eyes filled with such mourning for someone so young. She stared at him a moment before she nodded her head towards him. With a quick nod of his own he flew in the direction Vegeta had taken. Hoping beyond hope that he could make it in time to repair any damage that might take place while they are seperated. He frowned slightly as he thought back to Vegeta's reactions and flew quicker. In time he was able to sense Vegeta's ki in the air and soon he was able to see Vegeta land on a continent. Goku landed near him and Vegeta took no look back as he moved further inland. Goku with a growing vast amount of patience followed until Vegeta with a frustrated growl turned on him.
"What is it Kakarot?" He snapped and did not wait for a reply as he turned his back on Goku and continued walking. Goku stared at him for a minute before trailing beside him.
"Do you love Drea?" He asked him quietly and Vegeta stopped quickly in his tracks and turned an angry stare at Goku.
"Is that any of your business?" He snapped at him. His temper and fury rising slightly. Goku looked around and scratched his arm before continuing.
"I think she loves you Vegeta. You are her mate. Her only one. Why did you walk away from her?" Now it was Vegeta's turn to go quiet. "Vegeta don't let her go because of your pride. If you do then you will regret every minute of your life without her. You will never know true happiness and love with another person. Go to her and tell her so. Don't let her wait too long or you might lose your opportunity to ever get her back." Vegeta's breath became uneven as he listened to his friend Kakarot.
"Kakarot." Were Vegeta's only word as he took to the sky to look for his mate. He cursed silently to himself as he began his search for Drea and realized how stupid he was acting jealous of his wife's own powers. He quickly shook his head and concentrated on her growing closer signature.
The air brushed around her and the sun laid it's warm embrace around her. The sand shifted beneath her to add to the comfort and her tears fell upon the grains and were dried quickly. Her heart fluttered slightly as she felt another presence near her. Her eyes opened slowly and her breath was all but lost to her as she stared at a very semi-nude old male. His eyes were ancient and held much wisdom in their dark pool of color. His skin was wrinkled and tattooed with many different symbols of his tribe. He held onto a long staff of knotted wood and his lip was pierced with a large ring. He studied her as she studied him and her breathing became normal as she sat up and they both continued to study the other.
"Goddess do not fear your God will come for you when he realizes his mistake. Don't let such little things bother you. Your God is like our man. He is easily fooled by his own emotions of anger and jealousy. You Goddess will have to be by your God's side as he goes through life's trials and you will both prevail in the future. No enemy will be able to take that from you." Drea stared at him her blue eyes filled with hope and she turned for a moment when she felt a familiar ki in the air. Turning her head back towards the man she jumped slightly when she realized that he had completely disappeared from her view. In it's place lay a beautiful white flower. So simple and so beautiful that it brought tears to her eyes. Again she felt the ki and she looked towards the sky and her breath was soon taken away again. There was Vegeta. He flew towards her quickly and landed in the spot where the flower had once been and he took her into his arms. Crushing her small body against his hard one and breathing in deeply her scent. She sighed against him and her heart went out to the man that had helped her so kindly with his words. Their lips met in a heat of passion and her thoughts all but fled her. Soon they were upon the sand their bodies melding and gliding together like lock and key. To the world they made their love known with their quiet sighs of pleasure. To Drea she knew that her God would always need her.

Lord Yukio stared up from the mirror that he was gazing intently into and spat upon the floor.
"That insolent General could not even handle himself against those weaklings?" Keiko stared at her Lord and slid from the bed wrapping her arms around him from behind and nuzzled his neck slightly.
"Think about it this way my Lord. His death was not a wasteful one. He was able to take out most of the Senshi and he has driven a wedge between Vegeta and his mate. They are weak now and will be very vulnerable to our next attacks." Yukio turned his wife around so that she was in front of him and he kissed her slowly.
"Chiyo. You are right. With our next attack it will surely be the end for the Senshi at least." Keiko nodded slowly pleased that her lover was finally happy. Her heart went out to Drea and Vegeta and hoped in small part of her heart that they would survive through this. Hugging him close her breath fell upon his bare chest and her mind slipped back to the times that had gone by when she was young. A small smile lit her face as she remembered her youth self and Drea playing in the woods. Yukio seeing this assumed his wife was pleased with the outlook of how everything was going did not question her and they remained held together as he gazed into the blank mirror.

~Aftermath~
Yukio stared down at the sleeping couple over his wife's shoulders and grimaced slightly. He turned Keiko around harshly and stared into her dark eyes with a fire burned by hate. "How can you stare at them like you care? How can you give the enemy the satisfaction knowing that you are their friend? Don't you care about what they did to us? Don't you care about me?" Keiko stared into his eyes and felt her own begin to well up with tears. She lowered her head slightly letting her black hair fall forward slightly. Yukio stared at her and held her close. "My love. Do not fear. Your old emotions will soon return and you will forget them. Till then let us send General Kudo to play with them some more. Soon my love we shall attack them and they will know of our anger and hatred towards those who have destroyed our planet and kind." He led Keiko back to the bed and sat her upon it. He called out loudly General Kudo and in a matter of a seconds a tall handsome man appeared. He had dark hair that fell into his dark blue eyes and he smiled sweetly at Keiko before bowing at Lord Yukio.
"My Lord." He stared at the ground waiting for Yukio's permission to rise.
"Rise General Kudo. I have a mission for you. I want you to destroy the one they call Sailor Moon or the one that calls himself Kakarot. One or both will suffice greatly. They are their strongest warriors. Take them out and the others shall before our might!" General Kudo stood and listened and smiled slightly. His pearly white teeth flashed into a feral grin.
"I do as you command My Lord. My Lady." He bowed before both of them before leaving.
"Now watch as the fun begins my love." They both turned towards the mirror that Keiko was staring through earlier. Biting her lip gently she wished she could warn her friend. But she knew she could not for fear of her Lord's wrath. Sighing inwardly she knew she would have to wait until she could find some small way to rescue her friend from this chaos.

"It's okay. Well I should make sure the other girls are up and ready. I'm pretty sure you want to meet the other Sailor Senshi." Drea nodded as Goku turned to leave the room.
"Prepare yourself for an attack." Drea mumbled as Goku was at the door. He turned slowly and stared at the blond on the bed who's eyes had started to glaze over. "Prepare." As her eyes closed she collapsed back onto the bed. Goku ran over and shook her slighly in an attempt to wake her from her faint.
"Prepare for what Drea?" He asked her but was answered with a mumble. Vegeta had just come out of the shower a blue towel wrapped around his muscular waist and stared at Goku before growling low in his throat.
"What have you done to my mate Kakarot?" He demanded as he stalked closer to the bed.
"I didn't do anything Vegeta. She just said something about being prepared for an attack and then she passed out." Vegeta stared at him a moment longer before nodding his head.
"Well go prepare the others. I'll take care of her." Goku nodded and left the room quickly to gather the Sailor Senshi. Vegeta stared down at his lover and brushed a hand through her long silver blond hair. He waited patiently and he was soon rewarded when her stormy blue eyes opened and she smiled at him.
"Hey sexy." She whispered and cuddled closer to his body for warmth. She was freezing and Vegeta stopped himself from shivering.

"Damnit woman didn't I tell you to scream only when you were dying!" Drea turned at him and flashed him an angry look that made him stop in his direction towards her.
"Get Goku and Serena. We're about to be attacked." Vegeta stared at her a moment longer before turning and leaving the room. Drea took a deep breath as she followed him out and down the corridor where the other Senshi were waiting. Upon entering the room she turned and looked at the three unknown woman.
"Goku are you going to properly introduce us?" Drea turned and spoke with such coldness that Goku stared at her with large eyes before turning to the three women.
"This is Haruka, also known as Sailor Uranus." The tallest of the three stepped forward her short blond hair fell into her eyes slightly and she smiled slightly. Drea almost thought she was a boy for a minute but realized she was female after closer inspection. Drea nodded her head in greeting towards her.
"This is Michiru, also known as Sailor Neptune." A medium height woman stepped forward her blueish colored hair waved around her and her soft eyes stared at her with such happiness that Drea was almost taken aback from it.
"And last but not least is Hotaru, also known as Sailor Neptune." The small girl who healed Vegeta last night stared at her with solemn dark eyes. Her black hair was short and cut slightly below her chin. Her pale skin showed signs that it had barely seen much sun. Drea wondered how someone so young could be a Sailor Senshi.
"I am Drea. And right now I recommend you all transform quickly. Serena you and Goku have to be extra careful because this guy is after you. We must all protect them with everything we have." Drea started to power up and she felt a touch on her arm. Turning she stared at Vegeta who looked at her and shook his head slightly.
"If this fight is for Serena and Kakarot then let them fight it. Let them prove they are the leaders they claim to be." Drea looked at him with some confusement as she powered down. The other Senshi stared at him as if he had gone mad.
"He's right. I've been a leader long enough that I should be able to handle my own enemies. If I need your help Senshi then I will call upon you. But till then let me see how well I do in this. I want to prove this to myself that I am worthy of being your leader." The other Senshi nodded their heads as Serena pulled out what looked like a pen with a heart and a planetary symbol on top.
"Moon Eternal Make-Up!" Serena yelled aloud and she was suddenly in a flurry of ribbons that encircled her nude body quickly. The lights faded and there stood Eternal Sailor Moon. Her fuku was white and the skirt was yellow with a red and black stripe along the bottom. She wore high white boots and long gloves that reached her upper arms. Her meatball hair was done with red clips and the most surprising part of her transformation were the white wings that graced her back. She stared at them with a gentle smile upon her lips. "Well I think I'm ready to take them on." She simply stated and they were all startled by the maniacal laughter that was behind them.
"Well well. Wasn't that just a pretty little show of color?" The man who was in Drea's room earlier stood behind them with his back against a door frame, his arms crossed, and a sinister smile lit his face.
"Whoever you are you picked the wrong day to mess with us! Why don't you take that pretty boy smile off your face and tell us who you are!" Drea growled low in her throat as she issued the challenge.
"Oh such anger from such a pretty young thing. I might have fun playing with you later. But for now I've only come for you Sailor Moon and Goku. Oh and how rude of me! I am General Kudo. A small pleasure to finally meet you." He stepped from the door frame and the shadows framed his body as if they were alive and trying to protect him from the light. Goku stepped forward, he was not powered up, and stared at the man with little interest.
"Hmph. You don't look like much of a challenge. I bet even Sailor Moon can take you on by yourself!" Sailor Moon looked over at him and her face faulted. Was he really going to put this guy on just herself? The General's blue eyes stormed over in fury before changing to one of amusement.
"Are you afraid of me Goku? Is this why you send this little girl to fight me alone? Well no matter you both will be destroyed in a few minutes!" General Kudo grinned and flipped a piece of dark hair behind his shoulder. Goku stared at him and looked towards Serena who stepped forward.
"I'm ready. Let's get this party started." She stated with a shining white smile. She placed a dainty hand against the tiara she wore and spoke aloud, "Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!", soon the tiara was aglow with white energy and it took off from her forhead at a remarkable speed that it took the general by surprise. He crashed through the wall that he was leaning againts earlier and he now lay outside on the ground moaning from the surprise attack. Everyone ran outside to survey the damage that the small woman who only hurled a small decorative object had created. The man on the ground sat up slightly and groaned as he rubbed his head and glared at the Senshi and the Saiyans.
"Nice little parlor trick there Sailor Moon. But now it's my turn and I should mention I don't play well with others." Smirking he raised a black gloved hand into the air and the energy around them trembled with an unseen force. "Atakku Raigeki! (Torpedo attack)" Several pinpoint silver lights shined in the sky and they quickly fell to the Earth. Each second they came closer and the whole group could see the outline of falling torpedos. The Senshi quickly ran around their Princess to protect her and Vegeta placed himself in front of Goku in a protective stance. Goku quickly gave him an appreciative glance as they prepared themselves for the attack. General Kudo laughed manaically as the torpedos rained down upon the warriors. Each time they moved another torpedo would follow them. They realized too late that they could track them. One by one the Senshi fell. Sailor Moon screamed loudly as she clutched on to the hand of Sailor Mars. Her eyes wet with unshed tears stared into the cold heartless ones that gleamed with a hint of an early victory.
"I told you Sailor Moon you are nothing to me. I could easily remove you." He smirked slightly and pointed to the fallin Senshi. "After all I was able to take out your friends in only one blow. The legendary Senshi's destroyed. Now prepare yourself Sailor Moon this will be your final end!" He screamed loudly as he prepared himself for another attack.
"NO!" Sailor Moon's head jerked to her left as she stared into the distraught blond's face. In her arms she clutched on to the barely breathing Vegeta. Each breath he took the more pain etched across his face. It was like staring into an old slow picture movie. The bad guy was making his attack as the heroine stared into the mournful eyes of her new found friend. In her arms she clutched on to Vegeta's wounded body. Her blond hair shook over and around her small shaking frame and she stared at the man who caused this suffering to her. Shakingly she stood up and frowned slightly. Sailor Moon watched with interest as she felt the energy flow around her. Bracing herself she felt the ground shake as the energy flowed from the planet into Drea's already changing body. With fascination she watched the transformation of her her physical appearance to a cold blooded warrior who knew battle and had tasted blood. Whatever of Drea's old personality had completely disappeared in the matter of mere moments. General Kudo feigned some interest as this all took place and then he quickly prepared his next attack when he saw the feral look in Drea's now black eyes.
"Never should have done that bakka. Now you will have to answer to me." Drea's full red lips smirked slightly as she quickly flew into a flurry of attacks on the General. Each blow he met with his own. Each fighter blocking and counter attacking shook the planet to it's core. The fury of the mass amount of energy made the Senshi that remained alive and even Goku stare in surprise. Vegeta blinked rapidly as he focused onto his mate and frowned slightly. She was more powerful at Goku at this point and it infuriated him that a woman was going to beat their enemy. Standing quickly he grimaced from the pain of a thousand cuts that lined his body. His previous injuries still bothered him and he quickly ran to join the fight. He was only stopped by Goku who shook his head at him.
"Let her fight this out Vegeta. You will get your turn next soon enough." Vegeta glared at him and halted his progress of moving towards the fight.
"Have it your way Kakarot." And each remained still to watch the fight that still blazed on before them.
"Why don't you die?!" She screamed through the blazing fury that clenched her jaw shut. Kudo stared at her with little interest as he threw off another one of her attacks. Of all her years of training to fight this one was definately putting her to the test. Her will slipped slightly when she was thrown to the ground and his fists kept connecting to her jaw and ribs. Pain had soon fled her body leaving her to her thoughts as her eyes glazed and her power faded. Flashes of memories flooded her mind and tears pricked the corner of them. Vegeta. Keiko. Each image carried significane with it and Drea's heart cracked at the thought of losing this fight. She was fighting for them to win and set them free. To set them all free from this pointless war. With renewed strength she drew back a bloodied fist and struck him with all her might. He flew off of her and landed on the ground before her. Drea stood shakily on her legs and smirked slightly.
"Bastard. I will show you what pain is truly like and you will beg for death at my hands." Unphazed by Drea's words he renewed his fight with her, his mind still sure that he would win, while his body protested at the strain it was being put under. They both returned to the fight with renewed vigour. Each blow was meant to be the last but still remained the first as each blocked the other's attack. Cries of frustration could be heard from both persons fighting and those who watched below in awe could not comprehend the blood that flew from both fighters. Drops rained down on them and they gasped at the horror that was slowly coming to an end. With a final shout of victory Drea grabbed Kudo by his hair and tightly held onto it as her hands tore into his flesh covering his body with deadly wounds. His screams echoed below him as her hands tore at his beautiful face. She had remained true to her word. Letting him feel what true pain was like as his closed eyes bled red tears. Drea's emotions were lost in a fury of anger and hate. Her body powered up some more. Her hair grew longer and her eyes went pupiless. Screaming in anger her body prepared to launch another series of attacks when her mind finally wrestled control over her emotions and she could feel the man's heart beat slowing. With a cruel smile lifting her lips she waited for his eyes to be open before she kept one hand wrapped around his throat and she brought her other hand forward and released an energy blast into his face. The burning smell of flesh made those with weak stomachs throw up in disgust and those used to the smell watched with serious expressions as Drea landed before them. Her energy lowered and small tears falling to the ground walked to Vegeta hoping he would offer her some comfort. But what surprised her next was when Vegeta looked at her with loath and turned from her. Walking away from and flying towards who knew where. Drea's heart clenched in her body and she turned to Goku for some explanation. But he could not offer her any. With a sad look she stared at the dead bodies of some of the Scouts and stared with such pain that they soon turned from her look. With a heart wrenching sob she too flew from them. In opposite direction she flew from them and where Vegeta might have gone and flew as fast and far as she could until she came unto a tropical island where her crushed and trembling body laid on the sands and her heart wrenched free from it's soul chamber and the people fled the area fearing that they had offended some god. Unkown to her a shaman stayed and watched on as the scene passed on before him. His wise knowing eyes stared at the young woman who laid upon their beach letting her heart pour to the world. Only did he know what the beautiful goddess was going through. History had told legends of one such goddess coming to their island in search of peace because her god had abandoned her out of jealousy. And now he saw that the prophecy was true. Slowly he made his way to her and sat beside her waiting for her eyes to flutter open and stare at him. Only then did he make his move.
Goku stared at the sky as his two friends fled from each other and his heart tore at the thought of trying to figure out who to help first. Drea was in distress over the battle and the thought of Vegeta leaving her. But Vegeta too needed his help to realize that just because there were Saiyans out there stronger than him was no excuse to leave them. With a struggled and pained look he watched the sky once more before making his decision. As he took flight to the air he stared down at the detransformed Sailor Moon. Serena was slowly making her way to her friends. Her eyes filled with such mourning for someone so young. She stared at him a moment before she nodded her head towards him. With a quick nod of his own he flew in the direction Vegeta had taken. Hoping beyond hope that he could make it in time to repair any damage that might take place while they are seperated. He frowned slightly as he thought back to Vegeta's reactions and flew quicker. In time he was able to sense Vegeta's ki in the air and soon he was able to see Vegeta land on a continent. Goku landed near him and Vegeta took no look back as he moved further inland. Goku with a growing vast amount of patience followed until Vegeta with a frustrated growl turned on him.
"What is it Kakarot?" He snapped and did not wait for a reply as he turned his back on Goku and continued walking. Goku stared at him for a minute before trailing beside him.
"Do you love Drea?" He asked him quietly and Vegeta stopped quickly in his tracks and turned an angry stare at Goku.
"Is that any of your business?" He snapped at him. His temper and fury rising slightly. Goku looked around and scratched his arm before continuing.
"I think she loves you Vegeta. You are her mate. Her only one. Why did you walk away from her?" Now it was Vegeta's turn to go quiet. "Vegeta don't let her go because of your pride. If you do then you will regret every minute of your life without her. You will never know true happiness and love with another person. Go to her and tell her so. Don't let her wait too long or you might lose your opportunity to ever get her back." Vegeta's breath became uneven as he listened to his friend Kakarot.
"Kakarot." Were Vegeta's only word as he took to the sky to look for his mate. He cursed silently to himself as he began his search for Drea and realized how stupid he was acting jealous of his wife's own powers. He quickly shook his head and concentrated on her growing closer signature.
The air brushed around her and the sun laid it's warm embrace around her. The sand shifted beneath her to add to the comfort and her tears fell upon the grains and were dried quickly. Her heart fluttered slightly as she felt another presence near her. Her eyes opened slowly and her breath was all but lost to her as she stared at a very semi-nude old male. His eyes were ancient and held much wisdom in their dark pool of color. His skin was wrinkled and tattooed with many different symbols of his tribe. He held onto a long staff of knotted wood and his lip was pierced with a large ring. He studied her as she studied him and her breathing became normal as she sat up and they both continued to study the other.
"Goddess do not fear your God will come for you when he realizes his mistake. Don't let such little things bother you. Your God is like our man. He is easily fooled by his own emotions of anger and jealousy. You Goddess will have to be by your God's side as he goes through life's trials and you will both prevail in the future. No enemy will be able to take that from you." Drea stared at him her blue eyes filled with hope and she turned for a moment when she felt a familiar ki in the air. Turning her head back towards the man she jumped slightly when she realized that he had completely disappeared from her view. In it's place lay a beautiful white flower. So simple and so beautiful that it brought tears to her eyes. Again she felt the ki and she looked towards the sky and her breath was soon taken away again. There was Vegeta. He flew towards her quickly and landed in the spot where the flower had once been and he took her into his arms. Crushing her small body against his hard one and breathing in deeply her scent. She sighed against him and her heart went out to the man that had helped her so kindly with his words. Their lips met in a heat of passion and her thoughts all but fled her. Soon they were upon the sand their bodies melding and gliding together like lock and key. To the world they made their love known with their quiet sighs of pleasure. To Drea she knew that her God would always need her.

Lord Yukio stared up from the mirror that he was gazing intently into and spat upon the floor.
"That insolent General could not even handle himself against those weaklings?" Keiko stared at her Lord and slid from the bed wrapping her arms around him from behind and nuzzled his neck slightly.
"Think about it this way my Lord. His death was not a wasteful one. He was able to take out most of the Senshi and he has driven a wedge between Vegeta and his mate. They are weak now and will be very vulnerable to our next attacks." Yukio turned his wife around so that she was in front of him and he kissed her slowly.
"Chiyo. You are right. With our next attack it will surely be the end for the Senshi at least." Keiko nodded slowly pleased that her lover was finally happy. Her heart went out to Drea and Vegeta and hoped in small part of her heart that they would survive through this. Hugging him close her breath fell upon his bare chest and her mind slipped back to the times that had gone by when she was young. A small smile lit her face as she remembered her youth self and Drea playing in the woods. Yukio seeing this assumed his wife was pleased with the outlook of how everything was going did not question her and they remained held together as he gazed into the blank mirror.
