Chapter 10: Titans intercept! Realities become more complicated.
Okibino awoke to see Sailor Saturn standing over her. She quickly jumped up and saw everyone beginning to wake up. She turned around as Sailor Saturn helped her up.
"Are you alright?" Sailor Saturn said to her. Okibino stood up and put a hand to her head. She was still feeling pretty drained, and her vision was impaired slightly.
"I think I'm alright, how about everyone else?" Okibino asked. Sailor Saturn walked over to each individual and began healing them and restoring their lost energy. Okibino looked over at the group of girls that were not dressed as Sailors.
"What are they doing here? How did they get involved?" Okibino asked rhetorically. She got a closer look at the group and saw that all of the group were Sailor Senshi, but in their regular forms. She blinked trying to get her vision straightened out. She still had a massive headache.
"Why did you turn traitor on me, Okibino?" Sailor Saturn asked. Okibino blinked at her. Then she looked closer as her vision corrected and saw Hotaru still lying unconscious. She turned to Sailor Saturn and saw Lydia stop her healing and grabbed Okibino by the throat. Okibino was still weak from the energy drain. She couldn't break free of the hold that Lydia had her in.
"Answer me! Why did you turn on me, Okibino?" Okibino gasped for air. They had failed, as Lydia was still alive.
"We both have our mission to destroy the Neo-Queen Serenity, but you were to become all powerful. I couldn't allow someone to have absolute power as you do to survive. The Sailor Senshi of Saturn isn't good, has never been good, and will never be good. You would have eventually wiped us all out for your plan to take over the world. All Saturn Senshi are like that. Who else could bring the great sleep?" Okibino said as she breathed in as much as she could. Lydia's grasp closed tighter around Okibino's neck.
"You damn fool, were you not even paying attention to what I had to say? All I wanted was revenge for my father's insufferable death and nothing more. He would have made himself the ruler of all our realities. I was just a helping hand in it." Lydia said with tears in her eyes. "You were also cast aside to make this world a so-called better place, how could you turn against me like this?"
"Sailor Saturn was never meant to be revived unless there was a threat to the world in which case she would have stepped in and sacrificed herself to rid the planet of evil. If Saturn stays revived without a cause, she will eventually become the bringer of the great sleep. You know this as well as I do. I had to try to stop you. You will become corrupt as you were when you were on your power-trip to become the ultimate Sailor Senshi of Saturn. The dragon balls satisfied your desire for power for now, but what about after Sailor Moon is dead? Then what? You will want more power. That's why Saturn is never to be revived, because she has too much power. Power corrupts and bring the desire for more power." Okibino replied and stopped talking. Lydia let go of her neck and Okibino breathed in and coughed 7 times. Lydia had tears streaming down her face when she heard all of this.
"You think you suffered a great tragedy by simply refusing to be cleansed by the Ginzhushou? I fought for this planet before you were even an itch in your dad's pants! I'm a lone warrior, and I refused cleansing from the Ginzhushou because otherwise I would have lost a great portion of my powers in the cleansing process. And to be banned… to be exiled to Nemesis because I needed to remain as powerful as I was to continue to serve this bitch we called 'Queen'. Your losses are nothing. I never knew my mother. I only know her now because I am here in this time, while she is still alive and naive. Because I thought I was still serving this planet the best way I knew how to, she exiled me regardless! Don't give me your 'pity party' whining excuses because I no longer want to hear them. I am after all threats to this world, and if you are one of them, by heaven's grace you better be helped because I won't rest until you rest in pieces. So shut your whiny mouth!" Okibino shouted at Lydia with tears in her eyes.
"So why didn't you stop me from gaining my powers when you could before the two boys brought me the 7 golden orbs of corruption?" Lydia asked. Okibino looked dead at her face as Lydia turned her head, trying to fight back and hide the tears in her eyes.
"Because, you are my exile brother. You were there for me when I didn't have anyone else to turn to. You brought me back to life when I died the first time our father's came to this place. I wanted you to gain your powers so that you may succeed in killing the Queen before she has a chance to proclaim her rule over this planet, because I failed many times. However, you weren't just out to kill Neo-Queen Serenity, you were after the entire senshi clan and you kidnapped Sailor Pluto to gain her powers and abilities. You want more power and you will stop at nothing to get them." Okibino said with dried tears on her face. Lydia kept looking away, still trying to hide her tears.
"I did it for us. I did it all for us! The only reason I kidnapped Sailor Pluto was so that I may gain the abilities of time-travel and go further back into time before Sailor Moon even establishes herself. Then Meke told me about the 7 orbs and I discontinued the plan for taking Sailor Pluto's powers. I haven't killed anyone needlessly as I promised you before we even started on this mission. Anyone I did kill, I immediately brought back to life. No harm, no foul. Just like you asked me to. Spare the innocent and destroy the guilty. Well now I have that power. We can continue fighting, and in the end when the war is over, I can bring back everyone and leave the Queen dead." Lydia said, finally letting go of her tears.
"You idiot, if you turn someone against someone else, doesn't matter if they die and come back to life, they will go after that same person over and over again until they themselves die again or they have killed their enemy. Then you raise them back to life, big whoop! They will just go at it again, over and over and over. It's one big endless cycle! Damnit, I knew I should have stopped you from gaining these powers. You aren't responsible enough to know who to have kill and who to bring back to life. You weren't even supposed to involve the rest of the senshi, nor the Z senshi! Now that you have, they will just be after each other in the end. You know good and damn well that sayians are fighters and Sailor Senshi are protectors of the peace. It's like oil and water, they don't mix peacefully!" Okibino finished and turned her back to Lydia. Lydia began to sob at this time, and ran off back into the city. Okibino looked back and saw Lydia as she disappeared into the city and softened her face.
"Maybe I was a little too harsh on her, but damn she has got to learn the balance of things." Okibino said. She turned around and saw most everyone was coming to. DJ was already on his feet, as he was the first one Lydia had healed. Tyger was also awake and felling alright as he was the second and last person Lydia had revived fully. Both overheard the heart-wrenching story. Okibino walked over to them.
"Don't say a word of this to anyone if you value your mouths. I may not be able to kill you because her and my life depend on it, but don't count on me being soft and not cutting out your tongues." Okibino said silently to both Tyger and DJ. Both understood the consequences if they said anything and both kept their mouths shut.
"Princess, are you alright?" Haruka asked as she helped Sailor Moon to her feet.
"Yes, I'm fine Sailor Uranus, are you and everyone else ok?" Sailor Moon asked without looking at Haruka. Haruka nudged her, and Sailor Moon looked up at her and noticed that she wasn't Sailor Uranus any longer.
"What has happened? Where are Sailors Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn?" Moon asked.
"Cut the crap. God don't you understand that we already know that Haruka is Uranus, Michuru is Neptune, and we know the identities of everyone else? Quit the secrecy shit already!" Tyger said. Moon blinked.
"Your highness, it seems we have lost our Sailor Senshi forms." Haruka said.
"How is that possible?" Moon asked. Haruka shook her head indicating she had no clue.
"How did you make this happen? I know it was you somehow, you are after us all." Haruka yelled to DJ. Mercury got up and scanned the area, then something told her to scan into space. She did that and was awe struck at the results she had found. She noticed that each of the planets starting from Mars and further away from the sun had been destroyed or close to being destroyed.
"Our combined efforts of destroying the false Sailor Saturn is what caused this. The blast went into space and destroyed each of the planets, minus the moon, earth, mercury and Venus." Sailor Mercury concluded.
"Why spare Mercury, Venus, the Earth and the Moon?" Sailor Venus asked as she joined the conscious group. Sailor Mercury shook her head.
"It didn't spare anything that was in it's path. The blast didn't stop once it reached into space. The blast hit each of the planets as it was heading away from earth." Mercury finished. Venus thought to herself.
"The planets have different orbits, they couldn't have been in the way of the blast." Venus said really cranking her brain figuring out that problem. Mercury sighed.
"When we called upon our combined efforts, the planets must have aligned themselves to increase our powers. As if they fore knew this one event that would take place. It would take them years to move into alignment directly one right after another." Mercury stated.
"Or the blast had an extremely large gravitational pull as it was traveling through space and pulled each of the planets into it's path." DJ said taking a stab in the dark. Mercury looked at DJ.
"Whatever the case is, the planets are no longer there, that's why Haruka and everyone else is no longer in their Sailor Senshi forms." Mercury finished.
"Is that false Sailor Saturn finished?" Rei asked as she too stood up conscious. DJ began to shake his head, but Okibino quickly looked at him as if to tell him to keep his mouth shut. DJ looked back at her.
"Hell no I am not staying quiet about this." DJ suddenly shouted. Everyone looked at DJ. DJ began to tell them, but was silenced by Okibino facing the senshi, back turned to DJ and had her blade beam unsheathed and operational behind her back so that no one could see except DJ. She slightly tilted her head and looked back at DJ with her eyes and grinned. DJ kept silent.
"What did he say, Sailor Venus?" Rei asked as DJ spoke in English and no one knew English here they thought except for Sailor Venus.
"He doesn't wish to stay quiet about something." Venus replied. Haruka narrowed her eyes.
"Keep quiet about what?" Haruka asked DJ in her tongue. DJ shook his head.
"Who cares, the witch has been destroyed, and now will someone please tell me how we got here?" Trunks asked. DJ, Haruka, and everyone else that was conscious turned to look at him. Okibino powered up to super sayian form. Trunks looked over, as Okibino stood behind Sailor Moon with her blade beam drawn and about to strike. Trunks quickly pulled out his own sword, and threw it blade first at Okibino. Okibino drew the sword closer to cutting off Sailor Moon's head, all the while, Sailor Moon did not notice anything. Haruka saw that Trunks had thrown his sword to Sailor Moon, and she tried to run over to push Sailor Moon out of the way, but the sword flew far too fast for her to catch up. The sword hit the blade beam and knocked it out of Okibino's hand. Okibino grasped her hand as Haruka reached Sailor Moon and pushed her away from the sayian.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Haruka shouted at Okibino. Okibino, recovering from her energy loss, still had enough strength to pick Haruka up by the neck.
"Completing my mission." She said and tossed Haruka aside. Trunks powered up to super sayian.
"Assassin. You aided in abducting my mother. This means we must be enemies." Trunks said, then suddenly Trunks lost consciousness and powered down from super sayian and fell to the ground. Okibino did the same thing, as both had used up their last bit of energy to become super sayians. Tyger scoffed.
"I bet I could beat her ass now." He said. DJ chuckled.
"Yeah, you would beat up on a whipped puppy when it's down." DJ said as he walked over to the senshi. Tyger turned red with anger at the remark.
"So what are you going to do with the others now that they aren't senshi?" DJ asked Sailor Moon. Moon didn't know what exactly to do.
"We will continue on protecting this planet, with or without them. What other choice do we have. Would you join us and assist us in place of our losses?" Moon asked. DJ's head jerked back as if he couldn't believe she even asked him that question. Moon looked serious into DJ's eyes.
"I beg of you. I am eternally sorry for killing you those years ago. I had to do what I could to protect my planet; and now, I am in dire needs of your assistance." Sailor Moon begged DJ. DJ could not believe what he was hearing. His killer, his murderer, the only reason for having such anger and hatred in his life was asking for forgiveness and also asking him to join her in the fight against her would be killer. Something that he actually wouldn't mind happening. What could he say?
"Hell no, if anything, I'm going to assist them. Your outer senshi betrayed my group and you killed me and you always run around saying you won't forgive, so how am I supposed to forgive you?" DJ said, then added. "For killing me and my friend, I will never forgive you. In the name of all those that never got forgiveness, I shall punish you." Sailor Moon looked at DJ with tears in her eyes.
"You are going to exile me to the planet nemesis just like you did Prince Demando and his group. Hell I don't blame him for trying to take over your throne. And now that I see what you are capable of, asking forgiveness and just hoping that everything will be ok, I face you from the side of destruction. I will assist Lydia in seeing you destroyed. It's pay back time." DJ finished nobly. Sailor Moon fell to her knees and began to cry. Haruka glared at DJ as DJ took his leave.
"We are going to go and recover now, when we get back, you will not be spared." Tyger said as he followed DJ. Hino-Usa stood up and walked over to Sailor Moon.
"I'm sorry, but I have to agree with them. Don't worry, I won't kill you and I'll try to make sure they won't either." Hino-Usa said, bowed and turned and caught up with her party. Sailor Moon watched them walk off and disappear over the horizon. She slammed her fist into the ground.
"Why? Why must this continue? Why must we suffer like this?" she cried out and threw her head to the ground and began crying. Sailor Venus walked over and placed her hand on Moon's shoulder.
"Don't worry, it will be ok. We will find a way. We always do." She said trying to comfort Sailor Moon.
"Meke!" Lydia shouted in her regular form. She had returned to the scene of their crime. Lydia surveyed the area and saw the people that had their soul-spheres taken from them were still on the ground. Meke came running and quickly bowed at his master's feet.
"Yes, Lydia-sama?" Meke asked.
"Put the soul-spheres back into the people, it's over." Lydia said. Meke looked up at her with a surprised look. Lydia looked back down at him.
"Quickly before the people die." Lydia commanded. Meke did not want to give up the spheres too quickly.
"My lord, have you…" Meke began but Lydia interrupted him and shouted at Meke.
"NOW!"
"Hai, my lord." Meke said with a shaky voice. He opened the gi he was wearing at the top and suddenly the soul-spheres left his body and returned to the people. Lydia grew mad in the face when she saw the spheres come out of his chest.
"You were going to keep them, weren't you?" Lydia said as she approached Meke. Meke began to step back in horror once every sphere was out of him. He held up his hands and began to wave back Lydia.
"Master, please forgive me. I needed to extract some energy from the spheres in order to keep allowing you, Okibino and me to teleport like we are doing. Please you must try to understand, as soon as you told me to put them back, I was going to." Meke said in defense.
"How many years did you take off the people's souls? 10? 20?" Lydia growled at Meke. Meke began to shake his head no hysterically.
"My lord, I had collected more than enough soul-spheres to take only a day off their life-span and I recovered completely. They are back now and everyone is ok." Meke said. Lydia looked around and saw all of the people that were dead looking, now alive and standing up. The people remembered the monster that attacked them and looked around to see Meke still nearby. Suddenly a swarm of citizens began screaming and running away from where Meke and Lydia stood. Lydia sighed.
"It's time to go." Lydia said.
"Did you finish off Sailor Moon?" Meke asked. Lydia was facing opposite of Meke, then she turned around and looked sternly at him.
"We are going to give them time to recuperate, then we will strike when no one is expecting it." Meke looked concerned.
"Why not strike now while she is weak?"
"I'm not about to strike her down as she is now, I want her to be at her best when I finish her off. I would be ashamed of attacking her now while she is weak, that would be far too easy. Besides, I want her to suffer first and put her through the pain and tragedy that I had to go through." Lydia replied. Meke bowed, tore a hole open and both walked into the portal. Trunks quietly snuck in behind them with Goten and the hole disappeared.
In space…
Zeke was in the middle of reconstructing the planet of Pluto when he got a telepathic message. "Are you alright?" Zeke lowered his hand and closed his eyes.
"I'm fine. That blast that they made was extremely powerful. It blew up almost all of the planets of your world." Zeke replied.
"I know, I felt it happen. So what are you doing right now?"
"Reconstructing Pluto."
"You are going to reconstruct each planet?"
"I have to if your fighters are even going to stand a chance against Lydia."
"Hurry home, I have dinner waiting on you."
"Don't worry, I shouldn't be too much longer." Zeke finished and ended the telepathic communication. He looked down at a half-finished Pluto.
"Well, it might take longer than I thought." Zeke said, sighed and went back to work.
"So tell me again why we aren't going back after Okibino, Lord Lydia?" Meke asked. Lydia sighed.
"She is on her own now. She helped father and the senshi in trying to destroy me. I can't allow her to work with us any longer. Her brain-washing is still too strong and she is still switching sides. Is Jadeite prepared yet?" Lydia asked Meke.
"He has almost completed the training. Soon he will be able to harness his ki far greater than he ever could before. But I may ask, why are you training him when you yourself can take on all the senshi at once?"
"We must do this together. I didn't resurrect Jadeite just to toss him away when I got my powers. By the way, where is that scientist?"
"She is locked up in a safe place."
"You fool, we need to get that scientist back to her son before…" Lydia began but was stopped as Trunks appeared out of nowhere and began to pummel Lydia. Meke had his hands full with Goten. Although Trunks wasn't nearly as powerful as he usually is, he was still making sport with Lydia.
"Where is my mother you witch?" Trunks asked in-between punches. Lydia's face was swollen so much that she wasn't able to reply. Meke picked up Goten and tossed him into the wall. While Goten was recovering, Meke quickly slipped out of the room, and came back as quick as he left.
"Your mother is right here, now leave us in peace." Meke shouted to Trunks. Trunks ceased his pounding on Lydia's face and stood up to see his mother. She was alive and she was healthy. Trunks smiled at the sight of his mother. Lydia began healing her own wounds.
"Trunks." Bulma said and ran to Trunks and gave him a big hug. Trunks also hugged his mother back.
"It's a touching moment, but you must go now. We have things to take care of." Lydia spoke after she was healed fully.. Trunk's eyes grew narrow.
"Why did you kidnap my mother?"
"We needed to use her and her dimension-machine to get us to your world. She has done her part and we are returning her. We had every intention of returning her to her own world. Now I must insist you to leave." Trunks finally noticed that Lydia was alright. He had just finished beating her face and now, there aren't any signs that he even touched her.
"How did you withstand my attacks? You don't even dodge." Trunks asked. Lydia groaned.
"I can heal myself, you really don't have a chance against me and with that I insist that you leave now before I kill you again." Trunks got all the more furious, but decided to take leave with his mother. Since he gave her back in perfect condition, there was no reason to continue fighting.
"We will go. How do we get out?" Meke quickly tore open a hole, and shoved Bulma through it. Trunks followed behind as soon as Bulma was pushed in. Goten was surprised and went in after them making sure they were going to be ok. Then the hole closed as soon as Goten was completely through it.
"Damn it! He didn't have to pound my face in, that hurt!" Lydia screamed out and held her face. Though, she wasn't in pain, she remembered clearly the pain she had felt before. Meke turned and bowed.
"My lord Lydia, Why did you say that it's over when I was giving back the soul-spheres?" Lydia replied, "Because, no matter how hard I try to make Okibino and everyone else remember who they were…" Lydia began but Meke interrupted.
"My lord, Your father hasn't gone through the events that are to come. He doesn't know that he is giving birth to you because he hasn't done it yet. He hasn't fallen in love with Sailor Saturn yet, and there is still a possibility that you might not be born." Meke said. Lydia frowned at this news.
"So now, we have more important objectives, not just destroying Sailor Moon. We have to make sure everything that happens in the past happens as it is supposed to?" Lydia asked. Meke nodded in reply. Lydia cursed to herself.
"The situation is worse than I thought. They are far more powerful than then 9 of you." Luna said with concern. The entire senshi clan were gathered around in a circle at Rei's temple, all of them powered down and in their regular forms. The two guardian cats sat inside of the circle.
"With ¾ of you out of commission, I'm afraid we don't stand a chance against these new threats." Artemis said with his head lowered.
"We have to think of something. We can't just sit idly by and watch the earth come to and end. What's worse is that it seems like everyone is out for Sailor Moon, not just to destroy earth." Ami said.
"What do we know so far about our adversaries?" Makoto asked. Everyone took a moment to think.
"This knight, he suddenly now has Sailor Saturn's powers and is female. The White Tyger, the red-headed girl, and that other guy that hit Usagi are now separated." Rei noted.
"This… Lydia person seems to be an enemy to everyone." Minako added. All the while Ami jotted down the notes in her micro-computer.
"That pink-haired tomboy likes to switch sides." Makoto added in as well.
"Who were those cute guys that suddenly got involved in the fight? That long purple-haired guy and the black-haired guy, what is their involvement?" Usagi asked. Everyone looked at her with a harsh glare.
"Hey, they are cute." She said and laughed as she put her hand behind her head.
"The purple-haired boy saved Usagi's life by hitting the tomboy with his sword. Did you see how fast he reacted? He is so brave and handsome!" Makoto added again.
"Will you all cut out the nonsense about how cute they are? They could be possible enemies. We have to watch our backs and not take anyone for granted." Haruka said with a firm tone in her voice as she slammed her hand against the table. Michuru kept silent as well as Setsuna and Hotaru. This act got the girls to calm down a little.
"I'm afraid we haven't much of a choice. We need to get those two on our side if we are to stand a chance against the new enemies. They did save Usagi's life after all." Luna said. Haruka stood up.
"We can't take any chances with any of them. They may have already joined the other side and are trying to gain our trust." Haruka said angrily to Luna. Usagi got in the middle of the two bickering females.
"Stop this now, all of you. We don't have any chance of winning at this rate if we can't even join our own forces." Usagi said. Haruka sat back down and folded her arms, her left eye twitched.
"I was just arguing with a cat." Haruka said to herself.
Many screams were heard outside of the temple. The group without thinking got up and dashed to the door and went outside to see what was going on. They got over to the top of the stairs that led to the temple and looked down to the city.
"Way to go Goten. Now you have scared half of the city." Trunks said as he walked down the street. Krillian chuckled as did Bulma. Goten had his hand behind his head.
"Hey it wasn't my fault. That's what you get for levitating up a tree to get some poor girl's kitten down. I didn't know it was going to cause so much panic here." Goten tried to defend himself.
"There aren't any poor little girls here, you smelled some food and levitated near a tree so you wouldn't look so guilty. It still didn't work for you, the lady that had her pie in her window near the tree closed it on you and you still didn't get anything. Now how do you feel?" Trunks ribbed Goten. Goten grunted.
"So how are we supposed to get back home? 18 is not going to be too happy with me being late like this." Krillian said. Bulma was already hard at work thinking of how she could get them back home. Suddenly, Trunks and Goten stanced as they felt a power they were familiar with.
"A city has it's own problems dealing with the troubles people bring from inside. I can not allow you outsiders to bring in more troubles. For love and justice, a pretty soldier in a sailor suit. I am Sailor Moon. In the name of the Moon, I will punish you." Sailor Moon said and jumped to the bottom of the stairs. Trunks and Goten both looked at three girls, each in said sailor suits. One in a blue outline, another in yellow and orange, and the third and looked to be leader had dark outlines, with angel wings on her back.
"More witches. When is this going to end?" Goten asked. Sailor Moon winced at the remark.
"Witches? How dare you insult us like that. We stand for love and justice and we are not ugly." Moon remarked. The other senshi looked on from behind the trees, still without power.
In space…
"Ok, Pluto is finished. Now time for Neptune. Now that I finished Pluto, I have a basis for re-constructing the planets faster." Zeke said to himself.
Back in Tokyo…
Setsuna suddenly felt her powers come back to her and she turned into Sailor Pluto without her hen-shin (transformation) stick. The two sayian boys felt the increase in power and stanced for a fight. Sailor Pluto jumped into the action.
"Pluto!" Sailor Moon said. Sailor Pluto nodded and was ready for a fight. Krillian stanced as well.
"Should I help out since it doesn't look to be a even battle?" Krillian asked. Trunks and Goten both smirked.
"The odds are in our favor, ya know." Goten said without looking away from his opponents. Krillian backed off and let the two boys continue their fight.
"We aren't here to hurt anyone. We are just trying to get home." Trunks said. (Damn now why does this sound so familiar?)
Luna came running down the stairs and stopped just before the battleground. "You must not fight against them. They are far superior in power."
"The…the cat talked!" Goten began to freak out. Trunks' sweat dropped.
"Korin is a cat and he can talk." Trunks said to Goten. Goten again put his hand behind his head. "Oh yeah."
In space, Zeke had finished Neptune and finished Uranus about the same time. Back on earth, another transformation sequence began behind the tree where Michuru and Haruka were hiding. Afterwards, two more soldiers joined in the fight.
"Invited by the new era, I am Sailor Uranus, fighting for magnificence." Sailor Uranus spoke.
"Also invited by the new era, I am Sailor Neptune, fighting for elegance." Sailor Neptune spoke.
"I am Sailor Pluto, guardian of time. I will not allow you to do as you see fit in this world." Sailor Pluto spoke. Trunks, Goten, Krillian, and Bulma all sweat dropped at this point.
"Fight for magnificence?" Trunks said to himself.
"Fight for Elegance?" Goten also said to himself.
"Do as we see fit to this world?" Krillian said.
"Love and Justice?" Bulma said.
"They have got to be kidding!" they all said at once out loud. Now it was time for the senshi to sweat drop.
"Who are you freaks that think you can use the powers of 'Love and Justice' to defend against enemies?" Goten asked while steeping forward to the senshi. Sailor Uranus saw this as a threat and took the initiative to strike first.
"World Shaking!" she shouted and slammed her fist against the ground, launching her attack right at Goten. Surprisingly, Goten could not dodge the attack. The attack was still coming for him as he thought to himself, "Why can't I move? I'm quicker than this, how is this slow attack able to hit me? I need to think of something fast." Goten took the blast in the palms of his hands, held it for a second to gain control of the attack, and then sent it towards the heavens. The rest of the senshi stood in shock as Sailor Uranus' attack was deflected into space. But Sailor Uranus wasn't done just yet, she raised her hand above her head and then thrusted her hand downwards. The attack suddenly stopped in mid-air and came back down on top of Goten. Trunks stood where he was as well, the whole time during the attack not able to move. The attack connected with it's target and caused a semi-large explosion. Bulma shouted out to Goten as the explosion settled down.
"You got him!" Sailor Moon shouted and jumped up and down for joy. Sailor Uranus' eye winced as the smoke and dust settled and cleared. Goten's head was covered by his arms and his head was tucked underneath his elbows. Then he moved his arms and dusted himself off.
"How did you prevent me from dodging the attack?" Goten asked Sailor Uranus. Sailor Uranus was in shock that Goten took the whole attack without so much as a scratch.
"I asked, how did you prevent me from moving?" Goten asked again to a bewildered Sailor Uranus. Sailor Uranus didn't answer back and again attacked him, this time head on with all out fighting. Goten naturally dodged each and every attack attempt. Then he got bored and nailed Sailor Uranus in the stomach a good time. Sailor Uranus spat out and then went to her knees. Sailor Moon watched her companion go down. She quickly raced over to where Sailor Uranus was on her hands and knees coughing and gasping for air.
"That was not a challenge." Goten said with a sigh and walked away. Sailor Moon made sure than her friend was ok, then stood up and shouted, "Hey monster, you are not going to get away with this! I will not allow you to harm my friends or this world, I don't care how powerful you are!" she said and started to walk over to the two Sayians. Normally, Trunks nor Goten would care about such a weak enemy and think nothing of it, But Sailor Moon was glowing with a pinkish aura that surrounded her. With every step she took, her power grew even more. Trunks, Goten and even Krillian began to feel their enemy's power. It wasn't anything to compare even to Krillian, but for some reason it kept rising and posed a threat to them. They had no idea what to expect.
"If my little Hino-Usa isn't going to do anything about this situation but tuck her tail and stay with her group, then I have no choice but to increase the senshi's powers." Zoë said and continued to channel her own energy into the Ginzhushou from where she was. Her eyes were closed as she was in deep meditation. Her body was surrounded by the same aura that Sailor Moon was surrounded in.
Sailor Moon continued on her course towards the two bewildered but antsy sayians as she felt the Ginzhushou's power flow through her whole body. Her hand began to shake as she was nervous about the upcoming battle, however she clinched her hand tightly as to not give in to fear. Words began to fill her head.
"That's it, you always knew you could use the Ginzhushou to it's fullest extent, but were too scared to try. Bury those doubts and master that which you were destined to use. (Cyd, you wanted your test of our warriors against each other. Now you will get it.) Arise my warrior and purge those that have invaded your world!" the voice of Zoë spoke inside of Sailor Moon's head. With that, Sailor Moon's transformation brooch opened and the Silver Crystal that was inside of it removed itself from it's resting place and hovered a few inches above her head. A whirl wind seemed to engulf Sailor Moon. Before the rest of the senshi could act, the wind disappeared as quick as it arrived. Now approaching the two sayians was a new and improved Sailor Moon. Her wings grew from little useless stubbles on her back to full grown crystal wings. Her head was now covered with a crystal helmet that fit just around her two balls of hair atop her head and came down to her chin. Her body that once was covered with a sailor fuku was now completely crystal where her old uniform was. Her chest, her gloves, her skirt, and even her boots were now completely crystal. Trunks and Goten were both at a loss for words.
"Goten, practice is over. She means business." Trunks said. Goten nodded and without any more words exchanged, both boys charged the new opponent. Sailor Moon simply raised a hand against the two boys and both were thrown back by an invisible shield. They were knocked back quite a distance, both landed unconscious.
"TRUNKS, GOTEN!" Bulma shouted and ran to check on the boys. Krillian took a fighting pose, ready to give this battle his all. He was met with great force as he charged Sailor Moon and was knocked back by the same shield. He landed near to where the two boys landed.
"KRILLIAN!" Bulma shouted and looked back at Sailor Moon.
"Damn you." The green haired scientist cursed under her breath. Trunks coughed and sat up with his hand to his head.
"What the hell hit me?" Trunks asked as he got up.
"As far as I can tell, nothing. She seemed to have attacked you by simply putting up her hand." Bulma said as Goten began to come around.
"Goten, we need to stop playing games and finish her off." The purple-haired sayian said. Both Trunks and Goten gathered their powers in their palms and began to perform the Dragon Ball Z signature final attack, the KameHameHa wave.
"Ka…"
"Sailor Moon, watch out!" Rei said from behind the trees.
"Me…"
Sailor Moon stood incoherent as the attack was performed.
"Ha…Me…HA!" both sayians launched their attack to Sailor Moon. She spread her new wings and brought them together in front of her. The wings made a tremendous impact against each other causing a huge blast of air, propelling both attacks away from her and sent them both back to their original attackers. Both the sayians caught his own attack and dispersed it.
"Trunks, if we are going to win, we have to become super sayians." Goten said.
"If we become super sayians, this city will suffer greatly with destruction. We need to divert this thing away." Trunks responded and became air born and flew to pick his mother up and began to fly away from the city. Goten picked up the unconscious Krillian and followed behind.
"You did it!" Rei said to the new Sailor Moon as she made her way to the battle ground. Sailor Moon turned and looked at her with a determined look.
"It's not over yet, I have to stop them before they terrorize more innocents." The latter spoke and spread her wings. She took off in flight after her opponents and left behind 8 very confused Sailor Senshi.
"We have to follow them." Uranus said and took off after them on foot with Neptune following.
"Stay here. You aren't any good to us without your powers." She said to the other girls as she motioned for Venus and Mercury to follow.
Sailor Moon was high above the clouds. Normally, she would be very scared of being able to fly under her own power, but this time, she was calm and collected. This is saying a lot for her since she is never calm and collected especially during a battle. She caught up with Goten and Trunks surprisingly easy and forced them to land by diving onto them, connecting with both boys via kick in the back. This sent them crashing down to the same area where they had battled before with Lydia. Bulma was tossed aside with Krillian who remained unconscious.
"Damn, she is fast, but now we don't have to worry about the city being torn to pieces." Goten said as he quickly powered up to Super Sayian form. Trunks did the same and waited for their enemy to land. No sooner had she landed that she was met with a fury of punches and kicks. Much to both her and the sayians surprise, she stood, untouched, undamaged, and even in the same stance she was in when she landed. She did not budge an inch from any of their attacks. To Trunks and Goten, it was like hitting an immovable statue. Both jumped back and fired a KameHameHa at their enemy. The attacks connected, but to no avail as Sailor Moon was still undamaged. Trunks and Goten were both panting at this point. Sailor Moon took the opportunity to attack, but she didn't expect for what happened next. As if by instinct, she took both boys and began attacking them like they had her. Fists of crystal was the only thing that Trunks and Goten remember seeing as they were pummeled into the ground, literally. Trunks finally landed a strong punch in and stunned Moon for a mere moment. That was all he needed to perform Tien's "Solar Flare" technique and blinded Sailor Moon for a few crucial seconds to allow him and his companion to escape. This whole time, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto witnessed the fight and were astonished to see their future queen fight like she was.
"Goten, she has really powered up. We need to fuse and put her in her place." Trunks said. Goten nodded with a smile and both began their technique to fuse together into one being. Sailor Moon began to recover from her blindness as she saw the two boys touch fingers. A bright light engulfed everything and surrounded the area with smoke. As the smoke dispersed, the two boys were one sayian.
"You will regret opposing me, Witch." Gotenks spoke. Sailor Moon regained her eye sight completely only to begin fighting again. During the fight, she struggled with herself, trying not to fight, but at the same time, fighting with everything she had. Both parties were almost evenly matched blow for blow. Sailor Moon spread her wings and took flight. Not surprisingly so did her opponent, however her opponent didn't expect her speed and without thinking, Sailor Moon used her the tops of her wings as blades and began to fly around Gotenks, cutting and bruising him badly. She finished with a double punch to Gotenks face and sent him crashing down once more. A large crater remained where Gotenks fell. Sailor Moon landed behind her enemy and began to power up her final attack.
Gotenks slowly got up and turned around to see Sailor Moon making very peculiar dance patterns, then finally stopping and cupped both her hands together in the middle of her chest where the source of her power, the Ginzhushou was.
"Moon Crystal Penetration!" she shouted and launched a large beam from between her hands and shot Gotenks. Gotenks had no defense as the beam engulfed him. His powers quickly drained out of him, and he was violently separated into Trunks and Goten again. Trunks and Goten lost their Super sayian form as the beam continued and they both eventually lost consciousness.
Zoë opened her eyes after she dealt the final blow to her would-be enemies. Although the whole time she did not leave from where she was, she had encased Sailor Moon in psychic lock with her mind, controlling her every move. Cyd who had finally arrived back into the apartment had witnessed the whole thing. Being a psychokinetic entity himself, he knew exactly what was going to take place before it happened. A simple matter of reading another mind wasn't all that difficult to him, especially when it came to Zoë. Zoë naturally lets out a tremendous amount of energy only when she has something important to deal with. Seeing as how they were stationed in the real world where no one can truly exert this kind of energy except for himself, Zoë and Zeke, and since Zeke was in another reality, he knew only one thing. Zoë was up to something and it was something big.
"What were you just doing?" Cyd asked acting as if he didn't know. Zoë shrugged her shoulders and went into the kitchen to get the food she had prepared for all three of them. Cyd grew angry at Zoë for ignoring him. As she came out of the doorway, she was met with a fireball heading straight towards her. Acting as if without thinking, Zoë set aside the pot that she had in her bare hands, and held it up in the air like the pot was placed on an invisible table. She placed her hands in front of her just in time to catch and disperse the large mass of flames. She picked up the pot from where she had placed it in mid-air and set it down on the table. She then turned to Cyd.
"If you are going to be immature about my warrior kicking your warrior's ass, then I suggest you do more training with your guys. I had all of this power stored away in case they had ever needed it for such occasions as this." Zoë said with a completely innocent grin covering her face the whole time. Cyd's eyes widened.
"You saw this coming didn't you?"
"Always prepare for the future. The best way to do it is taking a look into the distant future, not just the immediate." Zoë finished her school teacher lesson and sat down at the table that was suddenly covered with a lovely table blanket comprised of crescent moons and little pink hearts. The tables surface also had plates, silverware, and napkins not to mention each area that all the above mentioned had its own drink. All awaiting their master's return to them to consume their contents.
Cyd was furious, no he was more than that. He felt outraged, his dignity, his pride, those were his warriors that she fucked with. Now Zoë was trying to teach him a lesson from it all? Damn Zoë and Zeke to hell. They think that they know everything just because he is a god and they are titans. (Titans, which in case you didn't know were considered more powerful than the gods.) He knew this day would come, he had been waiting for it for a very long time. Finally, after all these years they had setup these experimental worlds, tested them, inhabited them, and created warriors from the beings in which he created, he was going to have his all out battle royal.
But no, Zeke and Zoë had saw what he was doing and took over 2 of his worlds so he couldn't put them to war and end up with a whole new batch of dead souls. The Heavens were crowded already as it was. Bad enough he had to make the people from his worlds all like he once was, an ordinary human, capable of dying, but now they have powers of their own. Magical powers that were never meant to be used by any race or species. He had created 3 all new universes with their own species and capabilities of killing in mass quantities, all in the name of fun.
He had tried to correct this horrible error by making his own version of heaven and hell for each of his universes. This way, Heaven wouldn't be so overpopulated. But, the heavens and the hells for his worlds soon began to merge with the already existing worlds thanks to his warriors finding out how to cheat death by using the Dragon Balls and the Ginzhushou he left behind. What was worse, when he finally set limitations on how to use the Dragon Balls, and the Ginzhushou, they still managed to find their way into their own heaven, and in Goku's case, Hell. Not once, not twice, but three times were there reported occurrences from the Dragon Ball world. Even the time where heaven and hell tore open completely and let escape everyone dead, be they good or evil into the world. But some how, some way, no matter what the circumstances were, they always managed to solve their own problems, without Cyd's help. Cyd like it like that. That meant that they are capable of defending themselves if ever the need to fight against one another. Cyd chuckled at the thought. That's all he was using them for, a game. A child's game of beat 'em up with many extra twists. It's all he could do to occupy his time in Heaven. There wasn't much else he could do since his Father had all the worshippers he ever wanted and had commanders and kings on each of his sides. Let's not forget his only son was there with him throughout eternity. His Father, how lonely he must have been when time began and no one was around but his angels. But now, he had all the company he could ever want.
Cyd was nobody less than Father's son, as everyone in Heaven was according to their Father, but he knew that his son was loved more than he himself. He shook his head to get rid of that thought. He had to concentrate. He couldn't daydream his eternity away and allow Zoë to have her way, using the warriors not to mention the world that HE had created against his own warriors. She stole them from him, and by Father, he wasn't going to allow her to ruin his plans for an all out war between his worlds and the Dragon Ball warriors as he so liked to call them to be victorious. Plus, he wanted to see how a replica of his former world would handle a battle of the worlds.
"Zoë, I need to ask you a question." Cyd finally spoke. Zoë looked up at him from her plate, paying attention to what he was saying.
"What the hell is that?" Cyd screamed suddenly. Without warning, but with plenty of cause so she thought for that moment, Zoë jumped up out of her chair and turned away from Cyd in an attempt to see what had scared Cyd so badly. The sky was crystal blue on that cold winter day. The snow that has blanketed itself seemingly overnight was sparkling as the sun shone brightly that day. Zoë face faulted and knew that she was trapped. Cyd never, ever got scared unless he wanted to divert her. The oldest trick in the book had worked against the Titan as she was now encased inside of crystalline, still facing the window that she was looking out. Cyd moved over to where she was looking and turned his head side ways.
These are my fantasy worlds. How dare you take over them like you made them! You never lifted a finger outside of partying and doing whatever you wanted in Heaven, so now you decide you want to settle down in a nice little reality and have the life you never had on earth all in the name of saving the innocents. They are MY innocents and I will do to them as I see fit. They aren't real, they are extras like in a cartoon show or something. I made my warriors and I'm certainly not allowing you to take over my characters in my game and deicide who will win. Go build your own realities." Cyd said.
"But you did such a good job with these worlds that I would much rather spend my eternity with you and Zeke playing around on these worlds. Besides, you heard what Father said, if you don't stop having people sent to Heaven, he will kick you out." Zoë replied.
"Hey, I created their own heaven and hell. No more people are going to leak out anymore. I promise." Cyd said.
"Then what are you going to do with the dead souls once you have destroyed your worlds? You will eventually get tired of them and want to create new ones."
"Then I'll use the same souls again in my next worlds." Cyd was obviously younger than Zoë and Zeke. Plus he was a spoiled kid. That's what you get for dying young and growing up in Heaven. You are used to getting the things you want. Cyd may be selfish, but by his Father, he was not going to let someone take over his work and ruin it. It was his work that was his alone to create with, destroy, or have battle royals.
"By the way Zoë, I'm afraid there isn't much you are going to be able to do about it now. They are mine, and I will do with them as I please." Cyd said then vanished. Zoë didn't take long to free herself from the crystal prison that encased her as said substance shattered all around her into billions of tiny fragments like it was hit by a massive force. Zoë stood, unscathed and untouched. Cyd always was a trouble maker, and now he had gotten himself, Her and Zeke involved in all of this. If it wasn't for the little brat, she would still be back in Heaven now doing as she pleased and ruling what she wanted. But no, her little brother had to cause trouble and bring an imbalance to the souls that already filled Heaven's Gates. She was assigned to him since they were siblings back on earth. Her fun now over, all she could do was beg Father to allow her to bring her former mate, Zeke to help occupy her time. This had been a long eternity for Zeke and herself since they were banished to Cyd's worlds until Cyd finished his little game to ensure that Heaven wouldn't get more overpopulated. Zoë hadn't had a headache in a very long time, but she instantly knew what was wrong when it came. Cyd was a problem, no Cyd was THE problem she was always stuck with. Now he is going to try and make her life a lot harder for her and Zeke to live.
End chapter 10.
Author's notes: It's been so long since I last got my creative juices flowing. I'm guessing you can tell the difference from the beginning of the story up until now and how the writing styles vary. This was a project I started 2 years ago and I'm just now getting to chapter 10. I must be one lazy author, ne? BONG!!!
