Chapter 11: A different back stabbing. Realities become Insert your own word here, I'm being lazy!
In your standard anime, you would be used to the customary slaughtering of the "dreaded villain" especially when it comes to Sailor Moon. This time however, things have changed slightly. Here we have Sailor Moon (applause) looking down at her current enemy. The two boys named Trunks and Goten are… were her adversaries. That was until she finished them off. But she didn't want to finish them off. She couldn't remember anything after she bravely stood up to the two in question out of fear of them attacking her friends. Her friends, the only thing she could rely on about anything in her life. They all knew her secret identity as Sailor Moon, not only that, they were a part of her solders, no her family. They were like her family, all of them very dear to her. She wanted to protect them at all costs, but not like this.
This was a mistake. Not like her usual foul-ups like before where she would klutz out and do something stupid. No this time was different. She had killed. Simply put, it wasn't in her nature. Although eliminating the threats of earth wasn't considered killing for her, this time it was an all out homicide. And she didn't even remember it. She thought back to when she first vanquished The White Tyger and felt the same way. No, this time it was different. The White Tyger was a threat to her world. Him and Goku who then she knew as Gohan both attacked her and her senshi. Back then, she didn't feel so dirty because then she had a righteous cause. This time, however she couldn't remember anything.
Suddenly she stood there in a completely new and revamped version of her Sailor Moon self. Crystal covered her from head to toe; her wings were full and not stubby. She had armor on… Armor? She never wore any type of armor before as Sailor Moon! Why was she now? Had she gone through a change while she was out? That was obvious, but why then are the two boys she was about to engage in a fight lying at her feet, covered in their own blood? She fell to the ground as her knees gave way under the bulk of her overflowing emotions.
Did she do this? Was it her that committed this horrible act of murder in the name of love and justice? No, it can't be true! She wouldn't allow herself to believe that. There has to be some mistake. She couldn't hurt a fly if it landed on her nose. But, somehow the evidence present points all of its fingers to her. She is the only one around alive, the two boys are lying on the ground dead, her wings were stained of blood at the tips, their bodies showed all kinds of gashes where her wings tore into their flesh. The evidence is apparent as to who sent these two to the other world. She began to cry. Not for the fact that she committed murder, not for the fact that she had saved her friends from impending doom, not for the fact that she couldn't remember anything, no she simply cried because they were dead. They had died by her own hands and she couldn't bring them back to life. She sat there sobbing when the rest of the soldiers came to "rescue" her from her would-be dispatchers. Sailor Moon looked up at her companion, only able to read lips as she could hear nothing for her emotions got the best of her.
"Princess, are you alright?" Sailor Uranus asked as she shook the teary eyed crystal warrior. Sailor Moon looked up into Sailor Uranus' eyes and began to cry louder.
"It's not fair! They shouldn't have died! They didn't need to be killed. I killed them Uranus! I killed both of them." She proclaimed through her sobbing. Sailor Uranus wasn't very good at comforting people at times like this, especially in a situation as grave as this. All she could do was hug her leader in hopes that would calm her down a little. Unfortunately, the effect desired was no where near the effect received. Sailor Moon began crying all the more in the girl's arms.
"Princess, we must evacuate this area."
"We can't leave them here like this! We have to do something!" Sailor Moon protested. Uranus nodded and as the other outer senshi (minus Saturn) appeared on the scene, Uranus nodded to them and looked at the two dead corpses. Neptune and Pluto complied without a word spoken and helped each other pick up the two boys to carry them back to the shrine. Sailor Moon stood on shaky legs and followed Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto back to where the others were at the Hino Shrine. The Outer's logic behind dragging two dead bodies of their enemy back to their base was they didn't want the crying to get any louder. (Believe me, she can get louder. -.-')
The White Tyger's eye was wincing. It would have usually gone unnoticeable to his companions in different times, but this time they knew exactly why it was wincing. They had felt the powers as well. Three large, huge, massive powers gathered outside of the city. Then suddenly, 2 of those powers died out and only one remained. Eventually that one died out also. What the hell was happening?
"We have got to do something about this." DJ finally spoke up.
"About what? There is nothing we can do! It's between them now, I refuse to help a sailor floozy, a cross dressing freak, or any one else for that matter!" Tyger snorted.
"What about Goten and Trunks?" DJ asked.
"They were neither Trunks nor Goten. Those guys were too old to be either one. I've never even heard of a Goten."
"He comes in later. You haven't seen all of Dragon Ball Z yet…" DJ began but was cut off by Tyger.
"What is it you want from this place, huh? We have had your little revenge on Sailor Moon. She can take care of that Lydia or Alexander or whomever he is now. Why are we still here? Why haven't we gone home yet?"
"Do you want to go home? Do you want to go back to no one?"
"I have that little old lady…" Tyger began but trailed off as he remembered he hasn't seen her for a while and she is probably doesn't even remember him being there. Last he recalled, she was on the verge of being senile so he finally came to the conclusion that she would be ok without him.
"Is that all you have to go back home to? Why don't the three of us stay here and build ourselves a better life. One that consists of Anime! We can do whatever we want and we will always be well off." DJ finished. Tyger looked at him with an icy gaze.
"You mean to tell me that you would rather take up this life fighting close to every day for our very survival in exchange for a comforting life that you almost never will have to fight or defend yourself?
"In a heart beat!" DJ replied.
"Why?"
"Because here I am guaranteed one thing, I will have a purpose. I will have a destiny. Back home, it's the usual mundane life. Can you honestly say that you would rather go back to a life that has no purpose and eventually die without ever knowing why you were first born? Well I can't live like that. Damn anyone that gets in my way. I have a purpose for being here and that destiny won't change until I die. Any other bright ideas?"
Tyger sat back in the couch. DJ was right, he hated to admit but he was right. There wasn't much for Tyger back on Earth, or wherever he came from. At least here he had DJ and Sarah, err Hino-Usa to help guide each other. Ok so they stay, but now what?
"Maybe we should pay a visit to Ms. Rabbit of the Moon; wouldn't you say Hino-Usa?" DJ asked. Sarah a.k.a. Hino-Usa looked up at DJ with a disgusted look.
"I don't know what your obsession is with Sailor Moon or whatever you think she did to you before, but I'm not going to allow you to join with the dark side and kill Sailor Moon!" DJ blinked after Hino-Usa said this.
"You were there! I changed into you when I first came into this reality. You were there with me and you were also killed by Sailor Moon. Don't tell me you can't remember?" Hino-Usa sat quiet after DJ spoke.
"Whatever" DJ said as he got up and walked out of the cabin. Tyger stood up and attempted to follow DJ, but DJ held out a hand for Tyger not to follow.
"To Sailor Moon's crib?" Tyger asked. DJ shook his head.
"I need to think for a while…" before DJ could finish, Tyger butted in once again.
"The hell you are! You are going to find out about those energies and why 2 of them disappeared. I'm following after you and if you don't like it, I'll ki blast you!" Tyger said emanating said ki ball in his right hand. DJ rolled his eyes.
"Come on then. You coming Hino-Usa?" DJ asked. Hino-Usa got up with a grunt and walked passed DJ out the door. Tyger had already taken off. Hino-Usa did the same thing as soon as she had enough room to run and jump into the air.
"Hey! What about me?!?" DJ shouted to them.
"Find your own ride!" Hino-Usa shouted back to him. DJ grinned. He kind of figured this would happen. Excellent, now he could get there before they did. With that, DJ slowed the flow of time down to a trickling halt and he took off running at normal human speeds. With time slowed down to almost nothing, it was a wonder that gravity was still strong enough to hold DJ to the ground. Otherwise, he felt light as a feather and it didn't take him any time or effort to reach his goal…
The Hino Shrine
The two boys were tucked into two separate futons. Hotaru was already at work trying her best to heal Trunks, but she was already starting to feel faint as she couldn't use her healing abilities without exerting herself too much.
"You didn't look like yourself when you were about to chase those two." Rei tried to assure Usagi that it wasn't her that had killed the two. But no matter what the Shinto Priestess said or did, nothing could make Usagi feel any better. She wasn't crying, there were no more tears left to cry. She wasn't sobbing because she had already sobbed her heart out. She was staring at the floor with a blank expression. If anyone knew Usagi, they would immediately tell you that something was dead wrong with her if they saw her like this. Today's Usagi wasn't a happy rambunctious teenager full of spirit and life. Today she was anything but, especially now that she had seemingly killed two more people. It was bad enough when she killed DJ as The White Tyger, but now she was responsible for two more lives lost. It wasn't the fact that they were enemies or allies; they were people with lives of their own. One of them apparently had his mother with them and Usagi knew she was going crazy at the thought of her son being dead. The pain tormented Usagi from the inside, she could speak, she couldn't think, she could hardly breathe. Everything she stood for for so long, her very being was shot. She was a murderer, no matter how you look at it. DJ was right; she was a cold heartless bitch. Usagi dwelled in these thoughts ever since she sat down at Rei's temple.
After repeated attempts to heal Trunks, Hotaru finally fell over the young sayian and enter the ever comforting oblivion called unconsciousness. Haruka was quick to remove the frail girl from the corpse. She did repair some wounds to the body, but as far as the spirit was concerned, Trunks was soul-less. He was dead, both of them. There wasn't anything anyone could do for them now, unless…
Setsuna felt a tremor in her stomach. This queasy feeling only comes between two times. That time of month, or when someone tampers with the flow of time. Since Setsuna knew better than the latter because she already had it recently, she stepped out to the porch and to the front of the little hut that had all the senshi gathered with the two bodies of Trunks and Goten. She had just stepped onto the stone walk of the shrine when DJ appeared as a result of increasing the time flow to normal. There stood DJ in front of the well known to any Moonie fan (Sailor Moon Fan) the place where Hino Rei resides. Today there were other residents that made themselves apparent as they all stumbled out to see what had Setsuna's attention. DJ stood valiantly up to Setsuna and squinted his eyes like he was trying to be threatening towards her. Setsuna did not look like she was impressed. Tyger and Hino-Usa arrived at the scene and decided to watch the fun as they hid themselves in the bushes.
"What business do you have here?" Setsuna spoke coldly. DJ smirked.
"You know why I am here. To settle things once and for all so we can all get back to our peaceful lives." Setsuna blinked but wasn't surprised. The rest of the crowd however, was.
"Why should we trust you?" Minako shouted first. DJ leaned over to the left of Setsuna and looked at Minako.
"Because I'm tired of this revenge crap. Maybe she did kill me once, but then again maybe she didn't mean to or didn't know. I'm willing to listen to her side of the story."
"You can't come in right now." Haruka said after exiting the Shrine. DJ's right eyebrow stood up.
"And why is this? Afraid I'll hurt your precious Princess?" DJ mocked. Makoto took the initiative this time as she walked up to the loud mouthed American.
"Listen here buddy; we don't know what you will pull. We don't know you that well. What if you were trying to get to her?" the brunette finished. DJ couldn't help but glance once at the chest of the tall Kino girl. He was just tall enough to see them from eye level. He quickly looked up at the girl's face before she could say anything. As he recalled in any Anime, if a male is caught looking at the chest of a female, then he is instantly without question knocked into the far reaches of the skies by said female. Poor Keitaro (Kanrin of the Hinatasou, Manager of the Hina Inn, Love Hina) was a prime example of such a deadly fate. DJ wasn't about to befall those same circumstances, but he couldn't help but glance once at the girl in such a manor.
"Let me say this, if I wanted to, I could come to where each one of you lives and kill you in your sleep. I know you that well." DJ said with a convincing grin. However, Makoto wasn't convinced one bit.
"You talk a lot of talk, but I've only seen your friends do your work. Is it because you can't do anything or are you just a tag-a-long?" DJ's eyes grew very narrow at hearing this. He suddenly got a vicious idea. Ohh… this one is for the record books! He quickly slowed down the flow of time around him. With everyone frozen in time, DJ had free shots to do whatever he wanted. That is until Setsuna decided to join him in his little "time freeze". DJ walked behind the now frozen brunette and with one twist of a finger, unsnapped her brassier from her back through her shirt. Setsuna walked to where the pervert was and slapped him silly as he was digging out the brassier from underneath the front of the shirt Makoto was wearing. Time flow returned to normal as DJ hit the stone walk. Makoto blinked and looked down at where DJ now lie, and saw Setsuna standing to her right.
"What the…" Makoto started to say when she noticed something pink and lacy in DJ's hand. She quickly looked down and felt a draft come up her shirt. She quickly threw her arms around herself to prevent anyone else from catching a glimpse of her unhindered chest. Red with embarrassment, she kicked DJ in the stomach, then suddenly continued as if she was having fun. Forgetting about her lack of restraints, she continued to kick DJ repeatedly, bouncing around everywhere. DJ grinned as he looked up at the girl that continued to move around freely in her bosom. She looked down to where DJ was looking and covered herself up again with her arms and snatched her brassier out from his hand and ran inside to re-restrain herself again. DJ laughed. He had just gotten the crap kicked out of him, but it was funny to see Makoto like that. Damn having the shit beat out of him, he rather enjoyed the results over the consequences.
"Ok Setsuna, so you can do that too. Looks like I won't get to have as much fun as I thought I would." DJ said as he slowly got up.
"You PERVERT!" Rei said as she ran up to DJ and round-house kicked DJ in the jaw. DJ flipped around like a rag doll with no stuffing and fell back again to the harsh stone ground.
"Damn! That had to hurt!" Tyger said to himself, being loud enough for Hino-Usa to hear.
"I knew you would come to her rescue. Despite the fights you two have had." DJ said. Rei stopped briefly from pounding his head further into the ground when she heard what he had said.
"Anyone could have a fight. That's what friends do, they…"
"They don't always fight over leadership skills and combat tactics as you guys did when you first became Sailor Senshi." DJ said in one breath. Rei heard every word that he spoke and quickly dropped her attack and withdrew.
"I know you guys better than you know yourselves." DJ said as he slowly got up with his new headache compliments of a round-house kick from Rei.
"Like what?" Minako asked.
"Well let's start with you Blondie. You are Sailor Venus aka Sailor V." DJ began
"Everyone knows that here" Minako pointed out.
"But do they know about how you pine over having a boyfriend like you do?" DJ asked. Minako turned beet red when she heard this. Everyone's head turned to the blonde.
"You were a great gymnastic, before you joined the Senshi. Your sport of preference is Volleyball. Your birthday is October 22. You were at times ridiculed because of your reputation as Sailor V which you told everyone that you were an actress. You didn't have any true friends before Usagi came along. You were a loner, before her." DJ finished and pointed to Usagi. Minako blinked a few times, not many people knew about her exploits when she was Sailor V except her best friend back in London.
"I even know about your best friend in London and the guy that she was in love with that you were also in love with. She was your big sister and you let that guy get away and be with her. What kind of a soldier of love and justice would allow that to happen?" Minako was completely taken back. No one, not even her friends knew about the secret crush she had on Alan (NOT the green alien! JAP Sailor Moon Episode 42). Minako was a believer. But Rei wasn't.
"That doesn't prove a thing!" Rei snapped. DJ looked dead into the eyes of the Shinto Priestess.
"Then maybe this will make you believe. Remember your uncle that created works of sheer art from clay? When you were little he had made a fire red phoenix. He quickly decided it wasn't good enough so he was going to destroy it until you cried your eyes out for him not to. He then smiled and gave it to you. Later, you had to face your uncle once more as he became a victim of Sailor Galaxia's army when they tried to take his star seed and made him into a youma. By the way, do you still have that necklace?" DJ asked. Rei clutched her robe where the phoenix hung around her neck.
"No one…" Rei began
"…should know about that, yet I do. That's not all I know. I know every little thing that has happened in your lives since you all became sailor senshi." DJ proclaimed, although his proclamation was half right, he only knew about the things that he had seen through the Anime. He didn't know if there were any more, but why tell your enemy soon to be allies this?
Makoto finally rejoined the group ready to pound the living daylights out of the pervert, but she stopped when she approached the group and saw Rei and Minako frozen with jaws dropped.
"If you have touched them, so help you Kami-sama…"
"Relax tall one, I haven't touched your friends. All I did was give them a sample of what I know about them." Makoto's eyebrow perked up as DJ made his decrees.
"Kino Makoto, born December 5th, your hobbies include cooking, chasing after your lost sempai and becoming stronger. Your weaknesses include your strive for power, and the fact that you don't think you are good enough because you don't have a boyfriend yet. One of the things I can remember about you is when you and Usagi fought over Motoki to be his girlfriend until you found out that he already had one. You then had a small crush on Haruka until you found out he was a she, and let's see what else…" DJ thought to himself as Makoto's eyes bulged out of her eye sockets.
"Ahh… yes now I remember. Your parents are dead, you live alone. You were a tough person until Usagi came along and 'showed you the way' or whatever. You took a journey of 'enlightenment' once where you met Kakusui and tried to make yourself more powerful. But his heart crystal got stolen and you and your friends had to rescue him."
"Ok we get the point." Haruka said abruptly. DJ grinned at Haruka.
"You my dear hold the biggest skeleton in your closet." DJ said as he walked over to Haruka and whispered in her ear, "you and Michuru are in love." Haruka slowly moved away from DJ with her eyebrow twitching.
"Do you know anything about me?" Setsuna walked up to DJ. DJ narrowed his eyes.
"Meiou Setsuna, born October 29th, A scorpio, otherwise I know about as much as you know yourself." DJ responded. Setsuna closed her eyes and sighed. There wasn't too much she could remember because for as long as she could remember, her home was the Gates of Time. Wait a minute, if he didn't know anything about her, then he must be reading their minds.
"Tell me DJ, do your powers that you now have involve using mind telepathy?" Setsuna asked. DJ squinted his eyes as he knew where this question was going.
"There is no way I can prove or disprove your theory. No I am not a mind reader."
"Then grace us with how you came about knowing who we all are and what all we have done." Setsuna cornered DJ and DJ knew it. He was setup like a rat following cheese to a pit of snakes.
"Why should I?" DJ finally responded.
"Otherwise I don't believe you know everything about us."
"I don't have to know everything, just enough to know how you work and why you are the way you are." DJ felt very proud of his response.
"So why are you so afraid of Sailor Saturn?" Setsuna asked. This time, it was DJ's turn to become frozen and drop his jaw.
"You are afraid of Sailor Saturn because you know what threat she possesses. She could wipe you out in the blink of an eye. That's why you won't fight against us. Even without Sailor Saturn, you know the inevitable of what will happen if you stand against these girls." Setsuna spoke.
"Though it isn't a documented law, but because I'm in your world, Sailor Moon will eventually defeat me as she does with each and every single one of her advisaries." DJ stated with angst.
"What do you know about me?" Mizuno Ami approached DJ and asked him in the most polite way she could think to. DJ smiled upon the young genius.
"Mizuno Ami, Birthday September 10th, you want to grow up to be a doctor like your mother. You were always an outcast of society, which is until…" DJ stopped and looked over at Usagi then he continued, "Your idea of a good time is curling up to a good book at night in front of a fire. You are rightly labeled among your peers a genius. Don't let anyone tell you you aren't a valuable asset to this team." DJ finished then turned to Haruka.
"Now do you believe me?" DJ asked. Rei was the first to speak.
"How is it that you know about all of us like this?" DJ grinned at the question and was about to speak when Setsuna walked up to DJ.
"I think we've heard enough from you for now." The long green haired one spoke. DJ grinned further.
"No DJ… don't do it." Hino-Usa spoke to herself from the bushes.
"Setsuna, I'm surprised that you would want to hide the truth from these girls even longer." Setsuna grabbed DJ by the arm and began to lead him out of the yard.
"What truth?" Usagi asked. DJ turned his head to speak, but was cut off by Setsuna.
"Whatever this boy speaks is false. Do not listen to him."
"I demand to speak! I have rights you know!" Setsuna sighed. Americans were always the loud mouths of the world. DJ broke free of the arm hold that Setsuna had on him and walked back to the senshi.
"None of you exists. You are all an illusion of someone that dreamed you up. You are a part of an anime called, "Bishujo Senshi Sailor Moon". You are nothing more than fictitious character from a popular cartoon series where I am from." DJ finally got out.
"If this is true, then why are you here?" Ami spoke up. DJ shrugged his shoulders.
"One minute, I'm in college, the next I'm with you guys again. I can't explain things, but I can tell you what all I know. Come, let us go inside and we will discuss this over tea and cake." DJ said with a grin as he was about to mingle not only with eastern culture, but the Sailor Senshi of all people!
"That's England. This is Japan. How do we know you won't attack Usagi?" Minako asked.
"Because I would have already if I wanted to. Setsuna can bear witness to this testimony." DJ said as he began to walk inside. Haruka beat him to the door.
"You can't come inside right now. The place is a mess." She tried to lie. DJ wasn't as stupid as he looked.
"Just because I was born at night, doesn't mean I was born last night. The Hikawa shrine is never messy because not only does Yuurichiro live here and keeps the place clean, but Rei would as well. By the way Rei, where is that long haired boyfriend of yours anyways?" Rei narrowed her eyes. Now DJ was getting personal. Too personal. But there was little that the priestesses-in-training could do for the time being.
"Now let me pass, or is there something else you are trying to hide?" DJ asked.
"It's not very mannerly to invite yourself into someone else's home. Surely they taught you that in America." Rei commented while swinging an index finger in the air. DJ's eyes grew narrow towards Rei.
"You guys are hiding something. You hardly ever work together, the inner senshi and the outer senshi. So what's going on that you don't want me to see?" DJ asked as he suddenly went around Haruka with a double take making her think he was heading in a different direction, then turning his body 360˚ to the other side of Haruka and snuck in that way.
"You won't like what you find in there." Setsuna called out to DJ as he entered the small shrine. The girls reluctantly followed him inside. Room by room, DJ searched the shrine until he came to the room that had Goten and Trunks and little Hotaru residing. Hotaru was still asleep from the energy drain from trying to heal Trunks' wounds. She laid on a third futon (how they got a third one in there, is beyond me. Author's notes warning, see end of this fic to find out details.) near where Trunks' body rested. DJ quickly got sick at seeing the two boys and left to find the bathroom. After praying to the porcelain god for about 10 minutes, DJ finally returned back to the main room where the senshi usually held their meetings.
"Why are Trunks and Goten in your room dead?" DJ asked Rei. Rei blinked.
"You know those two?" she asked. DJ looked at her like she was a moron.
"That's Trunks and Goten! Two of the most powerful beings known to mankind in the Dragon Ball Z anime. What, did Lydia kill them too? No good trying to revive them, only she can raise them back to life." Rei shook her head and looked down.
"You guys… aren't taking care of them?" DJ asked knowing good and damn well the senshi would try to help anyone they could.
It was then that Usagi began to cry all over again. With a wail that would make any creature, man or beast cringe, she began to tell him in sputters what had happened.
"They made people scream… I tried to stop them… they were too powerful… *sob* and then I killed them." Usagi finished and buried her head in Rei's shoulder. Now for the simple fact that Usagi technically wouldn't hurt a fly (minus one Tyger) DJ began to doubt, but when it was Trunks and Goten that she was referring to as the victims, DJ lost it.
"There is no possible way you could have killed them! You couldn't have even made a scratch on their bodies! Not even the giant here could hope to tickle those two.
"Hey!" Makoto shouted. DJ paid no attention to her.
"Tell me this is a mistake or that you are losing your mind!"
"It doesn't matter if she could or couldn't do it. The fact remains that she doesn't remember doing it and it wasn't her will for them to be killed. Just like it wasn't her will for you to be killed, but you were a threat. We must take care of any and all threats to this world." Haruka spoke nobly.
"No no no no, I don't think you understand. It is physically impossible for Sailor Moon to kill those two boys. Let me guess, she did it without any help from you guys?" DJ asked as he looked around the room. All the girl's heads nodded in sync as Usagi continue to cry in Rei's shoulder that was now soaked.
"Just how in the hell did you manage to pull that one off? No anime law in the world could help you defeat those two!" DJ said. Everyone minus the present outer senshi looked strangely at DJ.
"Don't ask." Setsuna said without opening her eyes from the meditation state she was in.
"Ok, so you have two dead sayians in your shrine…" DJ began.
"Sayians?" Minako asked. DJ lowered his head.
"Aliens from another planet. It's a rather long story and I will be glad to tell you another time, but first tell me how it is you managed to accomplish this feat?" DJ asked Usagi. Usagi slowed the tears down long enough for her to reach for her new hen-shin brooch that lay secure on her bow on her chest and held it in the air.
"Moon Omega Power, Make-Up!" and the transformation process began.
After a complete display of lights and sounds, there stood Sailor Moon, now in her crystal uniform, and her wings tucked in behind her. DJ was awe struck, not to mention losing blood from his nose.
"Warn me next time before you do that, you were naked throughout the entire transformation process!" DJ shouted as he ran to the bathroom once again and got some toilet tissue and stuffed it up his nose. He sat down and pretended nothing had happened.
"A new transformation! The guys back home aren't going to believe this one!" DJ said, then got confused.
"So this is armor. Great, but how did she finish them off?" Haruka took the initiative and walked over to where Sailor Moon's wings were tucked in and expanded one of them. Although no blood was on the wings anymore, they were the right size to fit the wounds on Goten and what little was left on Trunks.
"Holy shit! You did kill them!" DJ said as he quickly got to his feet and took a fighting pose. Haruka quickly got in front of Sailor Moon with her hen shin stick in hand.
"You think you will be little more than a stepping stone to me, Sailor Uranus?" DJ said with a grin.
"Shut your mouth and bring it!" Haruka fired back with her own sinister grin. Sailor Moon pushed Haruka behind her.
"No more fighting. Why are you about to attack me?" Sailor Moon asked.
"You are capable of killing people and not caring about them at all? Leaving them out to rot while you could have done something about it!" DJ said, then was suddenly knocked over the head by Setsuna who still hasn't opened her eyes. She sat back in her original spot and folded her arms.
"Ok, so you didn't mean to do it…" DJ began
"But I didn't do it! I don't remember anything after I received these powers." Sailor Moon said.
"Do you remember anything now?"
"Yes."
"Ok, we can keep the possibility of mind control open, but who and why?" DJ pondered.
"Someone that doesn't like those… sayians?" Minako responded.
"Lydia doesn't have these kind of powers, does she?" Ami asked DJ. DJ shrugged.
"If this were true, you all would have been dead a long time ago. Besides, why would she help Sailor Moon like this?" DJ said while using his hand to display the new attire of Sailor Moon. The fact shook a lot of their spines in their backs, but he was right. Sailor Moon finally untransformed out of her attire.
"Was that girl in there really Hotaru?" DJ asked as he got his breath together enough to form words. Setsuna nodded once.
"So why now?" Rei began
"Why what?" DJ asked.
"Why are you here? Why have you suddenly decided to help us after you have spent most of your time perusing Usagi?"
"I didn't want to make it apparent on the battle field so the enemy will think I'm still not siding with you guys. Yes I admit, in the beginning I didn't want to help you out, but now that I see the potential threat to you, me and everyone here, I couldn't go against you. You are after all trying to save this puny little planet."
"Then you know what problems we have facing us right now?" Setsuna asked. DJ nodded his head.
"Yeah, my son, now daughter has gone nuts, acquired incalculable power and is now basically going to take over the world and make me the new ruler." DJ confirmed with Setsuna.
"What's so bad about ruling the world?" Minako asked. DJ smiled.
"I'm no leader. I just want to be like everyone else. I don't want any one to die. It's a weakness I guess." DJ smiled a fake smile. So ok this wasn't according to his plans. Truth be told, DJ never had any plans. He just didn't want to help out Sailor Moon since she was able to kill him once already, and hearing the sob stories of Lydia made him want to join with her, after all Lydia is his own son… err… daughter. While DJ was pondering these things, Makoto had a glare at DJ practically the entire time, but not until now DJ took notice.
"Why the hell are you looking at me like that, Mako-Chan?" DJ asked. Makoto narrowed her eyes further towards DJ.
"First off, you will refer to me by my name, Makoto only! I'm not your friend, and second of all, after the crap you pulled earlier, it's a wonder I haven't put you through the wall yet. DJ thought for a second before remembering the embarrassing display of power. DJ chuckled to himself and this really sent Makoto over the deep end.
"Listen here, Just because I'm a woman doesn't give you the right to think you can just stop time and grope all over me!" Makoto said with fire in her eyes.
"You're right, Makoto-san. Sorry." DJ surprisingly responded with. Makoto's fury toned down greatly after DJ humbled himself a little. But he was still far from being off the hook, for now Makoto was going to let him sweat over the punishment.
"And if you don't mind, you can come out now." DJ said as he turned towards the door. The door suddenly crashed inwards and there lying on the floor was Tyger and crunched on top of him was Hino-Usa. Both looked up, then sweat dropped and gave a embarrassment-filled chuckle.
The entire table that sat in the middle of the Hino Shrine, normally would be lined on the outside with some breathing room the inner senshi. Today however, the table was scrunched together in two separate groups. On the north end sat the entire senshi clan (minus Chibi-Moon. ;-( ) and gathered in an incredible large quantity of three, the "Outsiders", the "misfits", the "extras" sat DJ and his crew of a male cybernetic sayian and a power-manipulating female. All of the inner senshi were looking at the south end of the table expecting something. Their eyes were wide, but squinty on the outsides reading the south end, making sure neither Hino-Usa nor Tyger would jump up and fry them with their "instant energy balls" they fired at Lydia the other day. Haruka and Michuru were calmly sipping on their teas while all the time being aware of Tyger's, DJ's, and Hino-Usa's movements. Setsuna was propped up against a wall, swimming in her own ocean of thoughts. Tyger, DJ, and Hino-Usa sat there quietly sipping on their tea.
"Hey, Minako. I heard that Tyger guy has a crush on you." Usagi tried like hell to whisper to Minako, but rather difficult when she was on the opposite side of the table. (Hence Minako was sitting on the north west side of the table and Usagi was sitting on the north-east side.) Tyger's eye winced as the two blondes continued a conversation about him to one another.
"I don't know Usagi. He looks too metallic. I couldn't date a robot."
Suddenly words in kanji (Japanese lettering) fell on top of Tyger's head reading "Robot?" He quickly threw them off his head and returned to his previous position.
"But you got to admit he is cute." Usagi winked. Tyger remained sitting there with his eye twitching.
"Did you see that brown thing sticking out of his butt? He looks like a monkey with that thing."
More Kanji letters fell on top of Tyger, this time, covering his whole body. Only his head and hands were sticking out from under the giant kanji letters. He quickly lifted himself from underneath the characters and hastily threw them into nothingness just as quickly as the first time, then returned to his previous position as he was before.
"He is hunky! Do you see the muscles outlining his chest and arms?"
Tyger partially opened one eye and examined his arm. They were right, he was quite abundant with muscles on his arms. He never really took notice before, that is until now.
All the while, DJ and Hino-Usa were hearing the whole conversation as well as the rest of the senshi clan, but they appeared to not notice at first.
"But he also has small feet. You know what they say about a guy and small feet." Minako pointed out.
This time, the English words, "Teeny Weenie" fell on top of Tyger. Tyger quickly threw them off of him as well, then stood up to confront the two blondes, but then heard a snickering and turned to Hino-Usa. Hino-Usa was sipping her tea when she busted out laughing, causing her to spit tea all over Tyger's face. DJ also tried to contain himself, but seeing the tea spit all over Tyger pushed him over the limit. The sanity of control lost it's fight against the insanity of laughing uncontrollably at something ironic happening, as DJ was consumed with laughing.
The senshi, while the whole time was also trying not to let the common enemy of decent and proper composure win it's fight. The tea dripping off the face of the cybernetic half of Tyger was enough to send anyone into a fit of the giggles. The senshi were no different, especially Usagi and Minako. The outer senshi also were laughing (with their hands in front of their mouths) insatiably at the red as fire Tyger. A pay back to the warrior was evident, but this was too good of retribution even for the senshi. And to think it all happened by accident, a mere fluke. Tyger was furious.
"It is none of your damn business what size my feet are. That doesn't prove anything at all." Tyger growled and sat back down once again. The snickers finally died off and everyone regained their composure. (The whole time, the kanji letter and the English words falling out of the sky were going on in Tyger's head only, no one else saw what was happening.)
"You really are good comic relief" DJ said as he wiped a tear from his eye after calming down from the sudden madness of hysteria. This comment pushed Tyger over the edge. Without a word spoken, Tyger got up and left the room and the shrine all together. He hopped up to the roof of the shrine and laid down. He positioned his ear towards the roof because he was directly above the room where everyone was.
"Way to go DJ." Hino-Usa said while smacking the back of DJ head. DJ stayed silent with this. Hino-Usa was right.
"Do you two mind not talking about things like that while people can hear you?" Rei snapped at both blondes.
"We were bored and I couldn't think of anything to say except to Minako." Usagi protested. DJ began to laugh out loud once more.
"You guys never change. You will always be typical japanese school girls. This was a good idea, don't you agree Hino-…" DJ began as he turned his head to Hino-Usa, but the said girl did not looked too happy with DJ right then. DJ shrugged his shoulders and looked back at the senshi.
Will these poison darts incapacitate Tyger from moving?" Lydia asked Meke. The creature that is the right hand of Lydia nodded his head.
"And are you sure that you have the coordinates of the portal aligned properly? I don't want him dodging and use the portal to enter to our base." Meke nodded.
"Hai Lydia-sama. The portal will open just below his neck line, so that you can grab his throat and stick him with the poison darts, thus paralyzing his neck and everything below it."
Lydia nodded her head and Meke took an index finger and ripped a hole in the space beside of Lydia from her head to toe. She then took the darts and stuck them between her fingers and reached out and looked at the globe to her left as she watched her hand come out on the other end of the portal right near the back of Tyger's neck was as he was leaning on his side. She quickly thrusted her hand forward as Tyger began to move, sensing her presence nearby. The darts between her fingers quickly sank into Tyger' neck and released their toxins into Tyger. Tyger barely moved before he was paralyzed from the neck down. Lydia quickly thrusted out her second hand and pulled Tyger into the portal, and then onto the ground of their lair. Tyger looked up at Lydia and Meke. He frowned.
"Great, now what the fuck do you want?" Tyger asked as he glared at his kidnappers. His body was turned stomach down.
"Some questions would suffice before Lydia-sama decides she wants to silence the planet." Meke responded. Tyger glanced over at Lydia, who had tears streaming down her innocent-looking face.
"Number one, why did her father betray her?" Meke began asking the questions.
"The hell if I know, one minute, we are gung-ho about killing the murderer and now we are all acting buddy-buddy with her."
"I don't believe you."
This was the last thing Tyger heard before he was suddenly impaled by the Silence Glaive through his back. Tyger stopped breathing. For the first time since he was involved in all of this mess, he understood what was going on. It was his fault. If it wasn't for his pride, he would have stayed with the group and they would have had a fighting chance. But he didn't leave because of his pride, he left because something inside of his chest hurt badly. No where near as bad as it did now, but it hurt. He had feelings, and he had them hurt. Now here he lay on the floor, a Silence Glaive buried in his back. How he wished he could warn everyone about Lydia close to insanity and deciding on life or silence. It seems she would take the latter now because she just didn't care.
Everything that her father taught her, it seemed to all be a lie as soon as he joined with the Sailor Senshi. It felt real good stabbing the back of a important member of a team that could do away with her. The joy of knowing victory was just around the corner, and no senshi could stop her even with Tyger on their side, but because of the pain she had carried over the years finally began to go away as the Silence Glaive was removed from Tyger. Tyger looked up at Lydia once more before seeing a computer error appear in his display, stating 'Primary organs non-operational. Time to live: 00h:00m:32s:24ms' Tyger shed a tear as Lydia got up from where he was, disperse her Silence Glaive and walk away from him. This time, she won't revive him.
00h:00m:05s:95ms
00h:00m:04s:72ms
00h:00m:03s:50ms
00h:00m:02s:21ms
00h:00m:01s:12ms
00h:00m:00s:00ms
Lydia walked to the arena where Jadeite was training and opened the door. There was a blur that soared past her and continued on bouncing off the walls. Said blur could be described as gray, otherwise it was just a blur of color that kept jumping to the center of the arena hitting a punching bag hanging off the top of the roof.
Jadeite, stop." Lydia spoke. Suddenly, the blur went to the punching bag, then re-directed itself in mid-air to Lydia and stopped, bowing at her feet. It was jadeite. Said punching bag suddenly exploded as a result of ki that was built up inside of it like a delayed bomb.
"I see you have made many improvements in your speed and ki manipulating ability. Since all of the players that could keep up with you are now dead, you won't have to worry about anyone trying to stop you. We are about to bring silence upon this planet Jadeite." Lydia said with a grin. Jadeite lowered his head once more and smiled. His revenge on Sailor Moon was going to come finally. And he was prepared for it. Although Lydia told him that there were more girls that had joined Sailor Moon since he last fought them, he was ready for any of them, no matter what powers they posses.
Lydia turned around and nodded to Meke for him to open a portal. Meke quickly complied and ripped open a hole in the space beside of him. Lydia picked up Tyger by the armor of his body and hurrles him through the portal. Then Lydia went through, then Jadeite, and eventually Meke followed.
There was a loud noise that came from the roof that seemed to roll off said roof and finally fall to the ground.
"What the hell…?" DJ wondered and went outside to see Tyger's twisted body lying on the ground. DJ felt the tea coming back up as he ran back to the bathroom again. The senshi and Hino-Usa took the initiative to go outside and see what was going on. The group of girls quickly identified the crunched body of Tyger laying motionless on the ground. Hino-Usa was at a loss for words as Lydia jumped down from the roof of the shrine.
"Greetings to you all for the last time…" Lydia spoke.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goku was taking his usual stroll around Heaven and stopped to notice the flowers.
"It kind of sucks to be dead, but at least now I have time to stop and smell the flowers." The sayian warrior spoke to no one in particular.
"Kakarotto! Face me now!" Goku recognized the voice that spoke to him as he looked up and saw Vegita.
"Vegita! What are you doing here? I thought you were in hell?"(* see end of chapter for A/Ns)
"I was, minding my own business when suddenly I noticed the ground was covered in flowers. I looked up and saw you. I challenged you to see if you were real or just a dream."
"How did you get here? Has Heaven and Hell been conquered again?" Goku asked.
"I don't feel that monster Janemba (* he is the big ugly yellow thing that takes over Heaven and Hell in one of the Dragon Ball Z movies, not yet released in the US) anywhere around." Vegita replied and took a fighting stance. Suddenly (as usual) they were hovering in air as if they were falling a great distance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You aren't supposed to attack now. I just met up with the senshi. We haven't had time to form a plan to defeat you yet." DJ announced to Lydia. Lydia raised her eyebrow.
"Isn't that what enemies are supposed to do, attack before the opposing team can have time to recover and regroup? That is what you taught me, Otou-san." Lydia replied. Hino-Usa whapped DJ upside of his head.
"You moron." Hino-Usa said.
"It's not my fault, it's the future me's fault! I haven't taught her anything at all yet!" DJ replied.
"Future self or present self, it doesn't matter. I'm going to smack you upside the head one way or another so I figure I might as well do it now." Hino-Usa proclaimed as she looked nonchalantly at her finger nails acting as if she didn't care.
"So why did you kill Tyger?" DJ asked.
"You are one of them now, you betrayed me, him and you and I will kill each and every single one of you one at a time. But before I do that, I need to get a little anger out. I'm in a rather pissed off mood." Lydia said.
"Hey it's not our fault it's that time of the month for you." DJ said. This time, DJ was slapped not by Makoto, not by Hino-Usa, but by Lydia.
"Old man, I'm not a real girl! I'm still your blood son! I just gained all of my powers and abilities. Baka." Lydia said. (Baka = idiot)
"You are the idiot!" DJ retaliated. Lydia looked at him questioningly.
"Feh, I will not be drawn into these petty games. Jadeite! Have some fun why don't you?" Lydia smiled and backed away from DJ and moved to the right of a shadowed gray figure. DJ raised an eyebrow. Jadeite? Said gray figure uncovered himself from the long gray cloak and stood in a fighting pose.
"What threat do you pose? You are a defeated general of Queen Beryl's army. Sailor Moon already won over you, you are no threat." DJ spoke, as he shoved Jadeite. Jadeite smirked and thrusted his hand out in front of him, palm facing DJ. As the arm extended fully, DJ suddenly became air born and crashed into a nearby wall of the shrine.
"We defeated you once, we will do it again!" Rei said reaching for her hen-shin stick. Jadeite thrusted his arm out to Rei and threw her back with the same invisible force he used on DJ and made Rei crash into the door of the shrine and through it.
"REI-CHAN!" Usagi shouted, then looked at Jadeite with a determined look upon her face. She really didn't want to call upon her Sailor Moon powers anymore in light of the recent "accident" with Trunks and Goten, but now she had no choice. She knew Jadeite was evil, she knew he was going to be her enemy, this time, there was no questions in her head as she reached her hand high into the sky with her brooch and shouted those now famous words…
"Moon Omega Power, Make-UP!"
After the great transformations of Sailor Moon and the remaining active sailor senshi, they all stood to face their threat to the world for what looked to be one last fight. Both sides were powered up and ready for blood shed, then Jadeite was kissing the ground. At once all of the Sailor Senshi sweat dropped as they looked at what had made Jadeite go down so fast.
"That was the best ride I have ever had! Let's do it again!" Goku said after clapping twice.
"You're a moron." Vegita said as he got up and brushed himself off and got a good look around him. Surrounding the prince of sayians were 8 skimpy dressed girls looking at him with big water drops behind their heads. Another girl with the same skimpy looking uniform was on the other side with a small elf-like creature at her side. He looked down on the poor slob that was under his feet. Jadeite looked as if he had seen better days. Goku finally got up as well and looked around.
"GOHAN!" the entire senshi clan exclaimed.
End Chapter 11.
Author's Note: Vegita from last I saw in DBGT had short hair and looked a lot like Gohan. Also, he was still alive last time I checked, but he must eventually die right? I'm not sure if he was supposed to make it into heaven because of his good deeds(?) or not but I'm going to make Vegita go to hell. Mwhahaha! But in the end, it seems he comes back now, eh? -.-'
