AN: Thanks alot for all who reviewed, especially ssj_saturn who helped me
with the henshin phrase at the end of this chapter. Also, this will be the
last long AN at the beginning.
"..." is talking, '...' is thought, [...] is AN, (...) is extra info but part of the fic, ... means trailed off, -- means interrupted.
I do not own Dragon Ball Z/GT or Sailor Moon. (And that is the last disclaimer I'm doing for this fic). This idea about Chichi's past is mine, so please don't copy.
Also, you can obviously figure out that in the beginning the narrator is one of Chichi/Rei's sons, but you don't figure out till the end of his narration (is that a word?) which one. I'll tell you that it is Gohan, so you don't get too confused. Enjoy! R & R.
Oh yes, ages. Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, Chichi/Rei and the senshi that stayed on Earth (Mars, Venus, & Mercury)- around 35.
Usagi/Cosmos- early 20's (time passes differently in space).
Gohan- about 15.
Goten- 4.
Chibi Trunks- 5.
Mirai Trunks- early 20's.
Marron- infant (1 if even)
Bra- not yet born
I'm pretty sure these ages are accurate. When (if) you meet the outers again, I'll give you their ages then. And the androids basically look the same as ever.

We all stared at my mother with shocked expressions. Well, not everyone. Not Piccolo, Vegeta, 17 or 18 (they had no idea what Mom was talking about). But the rest of us did. Densetsu no Seera Senshi, we call them, the legendary sailor soldiers. [Hence the title.] For that's all they are anymore, a legend. But every child grew up knowing that legend.
o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
They were before my time. They were around when Mom and Dad were growing up. I suppose they could have been called Earth's Special Forces of the day. These heroines saved the Earth countless time, and everyone knew and loved them.
But there is so much mystery about them. No one ever knew their true identities, or if they knew, no one ever told. One day they just appeared on the scene and became famous, and another day, about 3 years before I was born, they simply vanished. That is the biggest mystery, and they have never been seen since.
Some say they left Earth, some say they were all killed. Some even say they all went to live on their respective planets. I don't know. Personally, I think that they're still out there, but that something happened and they moved aside to let Earth's new Special Forces take over. But that's just my idea. They are just a legend now, passed on from parents to children.
o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
I looked back at my mom and I came back to reality. She had wished to resurrect Sailor Cosmos. I don't really know who this Cosmos person is, [Remember, that public doesn't know about the Last Battle or what happened.] but she was obviously one of the sailor senshi. Did this mean they really were all dead?
"I cannot grant your wish," replied the Dragon.
"WHAT?!?!" my mom screamed, sparks flying out of her eyes. "WHY NOT?!?"
"I cannot answer that question," said the Dragon.
"Enough mystery!!" yelled Mom as Dad held her back. "I know you can bring her back so do it!"
"Your wish will be granted," replied the Dragon.
"Good," said Mom, calming down. I wondered for a moment why the Dragon wouldn't grant her wish a first and then suddenly he would. But this thought was chased from my mind as my mom spoke again. "SO... Where is she!?!?!?!"
"Patience, child of Mars," said the Dragon calmly. "The Lady of the Stars will come. You have one more wish."
Mom appeared slightly surprised by what the Dragon called this Cosmos woman and by what he called her. Dad looked at her questioningly, but didn't say anything.
"Oh, I have one!" exclaimed Bulma, jumping up and down when no one else came up with a wish. "Please make the Gravity Room unbreakable, so Vegeta won't destroy it again, and I'll never have to worry about repairing it."
Everyone sweatdropped. Vegeta muttered something about 'baka onnas'. The Dragon's eyes glowed. "Your wish has been granted," he responded. Then he vanished, and the seven dragonballs flew away.
o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
"So where . . . where is she?" muttered Mom as the sky returned to normal. As if answering her question, something silvery began to come from one of the stars high above. It looked almost like the star was falling towards Earth.
But as the silvery things got closer, I realized that it wasn't. They were butterflies, silvery iridescent butterflies. Hundreds and thousands. All flying towards us.
We watched in awe as the first landed on Kami's Lookout. It immediately dissolved and became some kind of silvery mist. As more and more reached Earth, the mist became thicker and the outline of a figure appeared.
The figure became more solid and clearer. It was a woman. She wore a strange silver short skirt and top that I recognized as a sailor fuku. In her hand she held a tall elegant silver staff. Her hair was silver, but in a unique style that I had only seen once before: In the drawings done by the witnesses who had seen the sailor senshi.
Goten looked up at me questioningly. "Sailor Moon?" I didn't reply; I was just as confused as he.
As the last butterflies disappeared, the woman opened her eyes. They were the clearest blue and truly reflected her soul. On her forehead sat a crescent moon. Her eyes swept over us one by one. She didn't seem to find Tien's third eye unusual, and she didn't blink a Piccolo and Dende's green skin.
She only paused twice. When she first saw 17, she stopped, and her face clearly showed confusion. I think she could somehow sense that he and 18 were androids and not regular living beings. And when she saw Mirai Trunks beside Chibi Trunks, she also looked perplexed, confused by the two versions of the same person. When she saw Mom, a smile crept across her face.
"Rei," she whispered.
o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
I let out a squeal of joy and ran forward, throwing my arms around her. [If you missed that, this is a new narrator. Guess who.]
"Usagi, Usagi, Usagi!" I cried, overjoyed that she recognized me. My husband and the rest of the Z Warriors watched confused, but I was oblivious to them. "What happened, Usagi? Are you alright? It was horrible! I mean, after you died . . ."
Usagi, or Sailor Cosmos, broke free of my ferocious hug and smiled. "I didn't die, Rei."
"WHAT?!? But . . . how . . . ?"
"The universe needed me. Many parts had been falling into disrepair for hundreds of years, and they needed my help. So after battling Chaos, it took me away. Far, far away to distant corners of the Cosmos where I was forced to fight the darkness alone. Oh, I missed you all so much, Rei!" she cried, hugging me again.
o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
Someone cleared his throat and reminded us that we weren't alone.
"Oh excuse me!" I cried. "Usagi, these are the Z Warriors. Tien, Chatzou, Piccolo, Yamcha, 17, 18 and Krillin, Vegeta, Bulma (well, not Bulma), Mirai and Chibi Trunks, my husband Goku, and my two sons Gohan and Goten." Everyone nodded as I went down the line. "Oh, and that's Dende, the Guardian of Earth," I finished. An awkward pause followed.
"Um sorry," said Goku, addressing Usagi. "But . . . um . . . who are you?"
Usagi smiled. "I have many names. Some call me Hikari no Tenshi; others know me as the Keeper of the Stars. I have names from the past, present, and future, but for now I prefer Sailor Cosmos."
Piccolo raised his eyebrows. [Wait, he has eyebrows, right?] "Kami has heard of you," he said simply.
"Indeed," replied Cosmos. "He was a wonderful Guardian of Earth, and I regret never getting the chance to meet him. But I'm sure Dende here is doing fine." Dende blushed slightly. [Hehehe, Nameks must look funny when they blush.] "By the way, the rest of the Nameks send their greetings."
"You met them?" I asked, surprised.
"Naturally," she said smiling. "It was I who led them to their new home. I have many duties in the Cosmos. One is to protect all the planets and stars and their inhabitants. By the way, Vegeta-sama," she said, turning to him. "You are no longer the prince of a dead planet. I created a new core for Vegeta-sei. It will continue to grow over the next decade or so until it returns to normal size. I have already informed a handful of Saiyins I found scattered in distant corners of the universe."
Vegeta's eyes widened in shock and surprise and he didn't seem to be able to form words of reply. Usagi couldn't help but chuckle at this.
o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
"Miss-- uh-- Sailor Cosmos?" my son Gohan spoke up. "I'm still kinda confused. Are you one of the Sailor senshi?"
Usagi smiled. "Indeed I am. I hold the combined powers of all the planets in this solar system."
"But where are the other sailors?!" cried little Goten.
Cosmos appeared slightly confused. "Well, obviously, one stands before you now."
Everyone began looking every which way around Kami's Lookout. I knew that the time had come to reveal my secret. Only Piccolo didn't move, his eyes fixed on me. He didn't even need to hear the short conversation that followed to figure it out; he had known since the dragon had associated me with Mars.
"You never told them?" whispered Usagi.
I blinked back a tear. "I thought it was over. I tried to leave my old life behind. I never thought . . . "
Usagi gave me a quick hug. She was always there when you needed reassurance. "It's ok. You still have your henshin stick?"
"As always," I replied as I called it forward. My hands were surrounded by a red aura and slowly I felt it materializing into my hand. The slender red pen with a gold star on top. It fit comfortably into my hand and I held it high into the air. Out of my mouth tumbled words that I had not uttered for so many long restless years: "Mars Eternal Power... MAKE-UP!!!"

Hehehe, don't like where I stopped it? Oh well, just be patient while I fix more. But I will give you this, a preview of the next chapter:
I stared at my wife with surprise and shock and confusion. We were all beyond shock and no one could seem to form intelligible words. No one would have ever guessed that my Chichi, who spent her days cleaning, cooking, and yelling at Gohan and Goten to study, could be the famous Sailor Mars. It was beyond belief.
I gotta go study now, ja ne!
