AN: Nuttin' to say. So I better get typing. "..." is talking, '...' is
thought, [...] is AN, (...) is extra info but part of the fic, ... means
trailed off, -- means interrupted. I do not own Sailor Moon or Dragonball
Z; and now that I've made that clear, that's the last disclaimer I'm gonna
write. R & R.

Luna was in the grand chambers, using the Communicator. It was a huge screen through which someone in the room could talk to anyone in the universe who owned one. Luna was finishing her conversation with Queen Serenity:
"Yes, Serenity-sama, everything is fine. We should be arriving at Atropos first, and we will begin our work immediately. You keep your mind on the conference; I'll watch over your daughter. Have a good night."
The Queen's face fizzled out and the screen went blank. Luna sighed; she was exhausted! She prepared to settle down for a *very* long cat nap, when the siren filled the air and the room turned red.
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~
In a matter of moments, chaos filled the air. Ami, Minako, and Makoto came rushing through their respective doors in their nighties, throwing robes over their shoulders. Luna and Artimes soon followed, completely confused.
Minako was in hysterics; Makoto was in a fighting stance. Rei was shuddering from what her visions had told her; Ami was trying to work out her calculations. Usagi stood there, staring at the entrance way door, her brow furrowed, wondering what could be wrong.
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~
She didn't have to wait long. After a few moments (that seemed to last forever), a breathless guard came running into the room. As the door opened, screams and explosions could be heard far down the hall. He shut it with a click and turned to the Princesses.
"Your highness," he said, addressing Usagi. "Invaders! Entrance way! Saiy- Saiyins!"
"But I thought the Navigator was guiding us as far from Saiyin territory as possible," said Ami, while furiously typing on her computer.
"He- he did, but they- they came out of nowhere. Must have been traveling and spotted us! It looks hopeless!"
Usagi was having trouble staying calm as her senshi were beyond frantic, but somehow she managed. "How many of you as there?" she asked him.
"Eight- well, there were 10, but they got two of us already. What should we do?"
"Do the best you can," replied Usagi. "Go and man your station. Lock the doors; it will hold them off for awhile. Do all you can to save the lives of your fellow crewmen. Go now!"
The guard nodded, hastily bowing, and scrambled out the door, locking it behind.
"What can we do?" asked a crazed Minako.
"Do?" replied Usagi. "We will do what little we can do. We will wait, and sit, and hope . . . and pray . . ."
There was a sudden loud explosion in the distance. Even with the door closed and locked, they could hear it, and the screams seemed louder and closer.
"Usagi, you baka, what are you talking about?" screamed Rei. "We've got to get out of here, you especially. These a Saiyins we're talking about! A single Saiyin could destroy an entire planet --"
"While a single Lunarian could heal it," interrupted Usagi, completing an old saying.
"Exactly," continued Rei. "Your races are COMPLETE opposites. You know that. They are war, you are peace. They are darkness, you are light-- "
"Can one not change from darkness to light? From cruel to kind? From evil to good?" interrupted Usagi.
"I don't know, Usa, I doubt it with the Saiyins. But we don't have time to ponder this. If they capture us, we," she said gesturing to herself and the other senshi, "might get off with minor offenses, maybe jail time, but they will almost surely KILL you! Usagi, you are our friend and Princess, and we cannot let that happen to you."
The explosions and grew still louder and closer outside. Usagi sighed and sat down. "I don't know what to do. We cannot escape; all the doors are locked and there is no way out of this room. Wait!" she said standing up, as a sudden idea struck her. She quickly pulled out her Disguise Pen and held it high. "Disguise Pen, turn us into five simple maidens of Earth!"
There was a flash of silver light, and suddenly everyone looked different. Their royal gowns were gone. Their planets' symbols, which usually sat on their foreheads, had disappeared.
Instead, here were five girls dressed in what was obviously not royal clothing. Everyone had on a simple floor length dress that just covered their toes. Ami had a white blouse under a sleeveless blue dress. [Picture the dresses in "Ever After." Ami's would be kinda like Danielle's but slightly fancier; maybe like Jaqueline's.] The blue fabric was covered in tiny silver stars that seemed to sparkle. Minako wore a yellowy-orange long sleeved dress with a V neck. Her sleeves puffed slightly at the shoulders. Rei wore a square-necked fiery red dress with sleeves that ended at a point on he hand. Makoto, like Ami, had a white blouse underneath a sleeveless dress. Makoto's was forest green with swirls and designs in lighter green, though. Usagi wore a long sleeved, cream-colored dress with a scoop neck. Her sleeves fanned out at the bottom. [Picture this: upper arm = lower arm Where the 2 meet, after elbow it fans out. Make sense?] Tiny intricate designs in a tannish thread covered the fabric, making it hard to decide whether the dress was tan or cream. Usagi's hair was out of the unique traditional Lunarian hairstyle, [odangoes] and instead in a single braid reaching down her back and almost sweeping the floor. They all looked more like peasant or servants than the princesses that they were.
"There. That's better," said Usagi, as they all examined their new wardrobe. "Now hopefully we shan't be recognized as royalty."
She then turned to the two Lunarian felines. "Luna, Artimes, whatever happens now, try to be inconspicuous. You are to act like regular cats now; do not utter a word. I repeat, no matter what happens, do not say ANYTHING!"
Both cats nodded, understanding the consequences if they disobeyed the Princess's orders.
"So Usagi," said Rei, "what's the rest of your plan?"
"Well, I . . . --"
There was a huge explosion just outside the door. "Too late!" yelled Makoto. "Our uninvited guests have arrived!"
"Just try to follow my lead," Usagi said hastily as the door was suddenly blasted away. The five former princesses began coughing as dust and debris flew into their faces. As it cleared, they could see the outline of at least five strong, spiky haired men standing in the doorway.
Without a word, the Saiyins entered the room and surrounded them. The invaders began to close in on their prisoners. All any of the senshi could remember afterward was something being pressed against their nose and mouth before everything went black . . .
