Lady Love: I like the idea of Piccolo using the Dragonballs. Maybe I'll do that :-) Don't know if the ladies will come up later... we'll have to wait and see.
On Piccolo's behavior. Well, he doesn't trust anyone, why should he trust Cosmos?
Anonymous reviews: I changed that... oopsie.
Prophetess Of Hearts: Exactly! She doesn't need the wishes, and the only thing she really wants is her friends back. And, I don't think she *can* wish them back... If she could, she would've.
On with the story...
=====
"I ordered you two to stay away from that woman," Piccolo said sternly, glaring down at the defiant boys. They had just touched down at Capsule Corps.
"We like her!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Yeah," Goten chimed in. "She's nice."
"We know nothing about her! She could be waiting till your guard is down to kill you both," Piccolo growled.
An explosion on the other side of the compound interrupted the argument.
Quickly arriving at the explosion site, the three saw a floating woman in a leather bikini, cackling over the handful of jewels in her hand, bodies around her.
"Oh joy! More energy sources!" the woman exclaimed as she noticed the new arrivals.
Trunks and Goten ran to try and help the fallen people while Piccolo attacked the woman with a ki blast.
She stood directly in the blast's path, not trying to dodge. In fact, she grinned evilly. "Yummy," was her only statement before she absorbed the blast.
"What?!" Piccolo was shocked.
"While your life force would be such a joy to drain, I think I'll just settle on your little friends," the woman stated before snapping her fingers in the direction of Goten and Trunks.
Both boys gasped in pain before dropping to the ground, unconscious. A glowing jewel floated in the air over each of their bodies before flying into the woman's outstretched hand.
Vegeta, Goku, the older Trunks, and Gohan arrived at that point and powered up to attack.
=====
Cosmos dropped her sewing and stood up with narrowed eyes. Moments later, she had disappeared.
=====
"Such power," the woman cackled. "Each has the equivalent to over a hundred humans." Turning to the five warriors about to attack her, she smirked widely. "And, I bet your power is even greater. I'm sure to be awarded."
Before the five fighters could attack, Cosmos flashed in to one side of them, facing the woman and wearing her fuku.
"You will return those souls," Cosmos stated, her voice an arctic wind, "And you will do it *now*!"
"Ooooo! A Sailor Senshi!" the female said in mock fear. "I thought you had all perished. No matter." She turned as five ki blasts, stronger than Piccolo's first, impacted with her body. "Thank you, boys. I needed the pick-me-up."
"Stop throwing energy blasts!" Cosmos snapped.
"What do you know, girl?" Trunks snarled in reply.
"She's an energy absorber, idiot!" Cosmos replied before throwing a Deep Submerge at the still floating female.
Barely dodging it, Cosmos's opponent glared. "Now that I have enough energy, let's take this to the next level." A sickly green glow surrounded her before her jaw elongated to accommodate the hundreds of needle like teeth that appeared. Her hands turned to foot long claws, and spikes sprouted from all over her body.
All but Cosmos stepped back in surprise. Crossing her arms in front of her with pinkies and first fingers extended, greenish energy crackled around her as she yelled, "Thunder Dragon!"
The creature was so shocked that Cosmos had used attacks based on the elements of two different senshi, she didn't dodge the thunder-based attack and was blasted through a wall. Staggering up to stand among the rubble, the creature looked slightly shocked. "Who... what are you?"
"I am Cosmos," Cosmos stated flatly. "Cosmic Elimination!" she yelled, the symbol on her forehead flashing as a silvery glow surrounded the now terrified creature.
Moments later, all that was left was a pile of ashes and the jewels representing the fallen people's souls. The jewels floated toward Cosmos. "Return where you belong," she whispered. The jewels seem to fly as if connected by a snapped rubber band and zoomed back to the fallen, dying people. Each jewel hovered for a moment above its owner before gently re-entering their body.
Cosmos's outfit changed back to her normal clothing as she watched the people start to stir. She kept a close eye on little Trunks, who was being helped up by big Trunks and Goten, who was being helped up by his father while Piccolo, Vegeta, and Gohan watched.
After making sure everyone was all right, Cosmos prepared to teleport home.
"Wait!" Goku exclaimed, interrupting Cosmos's exit. "I'd like you to come to my home for dinner."
"Yay!" Goten exclaimed, all traces of his recent ordeal gone as he jumped from foot to foot, excited.
I couldn't impose," Cosmos replied, trying to gracefully back out.
"You've been a friend to my son, and my wife Chi-Chi wants to meet you," Goku said.
Bowing her head, Cosmos nodded. "Very well, Goku-san. Thank you."
"No fair!" little Trunks pouted.
"Great!" Goku said with a wide grin as he and his sons jumped into the air.
Cosmos concentrated and a silver glow surrounded her. A few moments later, the glow intensified on her back and formed transparent wings. Jumping into the air, the wings slowly flapped a she hovered. "Lead the way."
"Bye, Trunks!" Goten yelled as the Son family waved, then flew off.

Look, ma! I've done two bad guys! I hate creating bad guys... I always think they end up stupid. But, I thought this story needs a little action every once and a while, and I didn't want to go the 'bring back the previous, dead bad guy' route. Yet...
