Chapter 4
Shi
Hello all. Thanks again for reviewing, you help me go on.
Silly me, in the rush of trying to get the last chapter out I put it in the wrong section! Oops, this is not a GW crossover. Thanks for telling me; I would have never noticed I did that. And I have spelling errors? How embarrassing! Thanks for warning me, I'll try and be more careful. *Mumbles about the 'invent-a-spelling' her first grade teachers taught her*
Ok, last time we learned about Talc, the bad person who is going to try and get Serena in the DBZ world. He's powerful and not quite sane. Oh, and no Serena hasn't learned to fly yet, the 'blasting' Serena did was just a fast run...I guess...^_^'. Vegeta takes Serena to train with the others.
*******************************************************
The flight was only a few minutes, but to Serena it felt like hours. By the time Vegeta and her landed she was an unhealthy greenish color. Piccolo, Goku, and Gohan were waiting in the clearing when they got there and Goku and Gohan greeted her warmly.
"Wow! You look just as green a Piccolo!" Goku said amazed.
Piccolo only scowled at his friend's outburst. "All right Blondie, are you ready to start your training now?" he asked rudely.
She was taken aback at how rude he was being to her, but then thought to herself, 'Ok Serena, now's the time to get serious. No being a crybaby, air head. This is for your world, for your friends, and for Mamo-chan.' Serena took a few huge breaths of fresh air to ease the sick feeling she had in her stomach and nodded, "I'm ready."
"Great!" Goku beamed rubbing his hands together happily. He thought to himself for a few seconds and his whole face became a mirror of concentration.
"How about we start with you showing us how you fight, then we can work from there," Gohan said shyly.
"That's a great idea!" Goku exclaimed, patting his son on the back nearly knocking him over.
Serena nodded and everyone cleared the sunny, flower-filled meadow to give her room. Vegeta scowled and went under a tree and sat down with his legs and arms crossed, this was what he was interested in, but he didn't want to show his caution about her power. Piccolo watched every move the petite girl made, scrutinizing every movement she made to find her weaknesses and strong points. Goku and Gohan waited patiently for her to begin, looking a little bit excited.
Serena took another deep breath and brought out her white heart broach with little wings from her pocket and held it up into the air.
"Moon Eternal Makeup!" she screamed as the flashing ribbons and bright lights engulfed her. The Z fighters were amazed and surprised by the show, and even more amazed when her power level skyrocketed, before they hadn't sensed anything from her and now she was almost as powerful as Krillin.
"Wow," Gohan said amazed once she was all done transforming and stood in front of them in one of her classic poses, he hadn't expected her to actually have any power; not to mention, that little skirt with the long legs hanging out.
Goku just stared in confusion, "If I hadn't of seen it myself, I never would have believed she was the same person, she looks somehow different." (You know how the scouts magically look different when they're transformed.)
"Now do you want to see how I attack?" Eternal Sailor Moon asked Goku.
Goku and the others nodded seriously and held their breaths as they waited for whatever else she had up her sleeve.
Eternal Sailor Moon took out her Power Tier and got ready for her attack. Aiming her wand to a huge pile of boulders in one corner of the meadow, she yelled out, "Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!"
Thousands of bright colored butterflies floated out of nowhere and flew straight into the rocks, shredding them as they made contact; then a ray of rainbow shot out from the tier and moon dusted the boulders and even the ground surrounding them, leaving a huge hole in the earth.
Once her attack was complete she looked at the others proudly to see how impressed they were with her attack. "Impressed" maybe isn't the best word to use for their reactions, though. Goku and Gohan appeared as if they were trying to hold back their laughter. And, Vegeta just looked on slightly in shock, and slightly disappointed.
"That has to be the most...ah, creative attack I've ever seen..." Goku said trying his hardest not to burst out laughing.
Serena started to get a little angry with them. Why were they laughing at her? That happened to be one of her most powerful attacks without using the full power of her crystal.
Piccolo floated over to Eternal Sailor Moon, unimpressed by her little light show. He stared at her for a few seconds, causing her to become uncomfortable. Finally he spoke, and nearly startled her out of her boots. "What is the source of your power?" he asked her gruffly.
Vegeta for her answer with interest, this was something he wanted to know the answer to as well. Something wasn't clicking; if she was a Lunarian she should have much more power then that.
Sailor Moon up at the floating Piccolo confused of what he was asking her, and obviously a tad bit intimidated. After thinking the situation over she cautiously opened her broach and held up the silver imperium crystal. "This is the Silver Imperium Crystal, it draws power from the moon. It is my birthright to control its power and keep peace in the world," she said proudly.
Piccolo smirked at her. "I thought that's what you would say," he said accusingly, in a matter of fact way that made her feel small.
"I'll have you know that this is the most powerful crystal in the universe," Serena said proudly, putting it back into her broach. Once Serena had put the crystal back, Piccolo grabbed the broach from her, causing her to detransform in a pile of ribbons. Eventually the ribbons turned back into her clothes from before. "HEY!" she said trying to grab it back from him.
He moved his hand out of her reach lightening fast, faster than Serena could watch. "No you don't," Piccolo said putting the crystal into his pocket, "you can have it back when you can take it back" he said with a smirk.
Serena glared at Piccolo and mentally shot lightening rays from her eyes at him. "Then what do you propose I fight with?" she demanded from him, her voice icy.
"Humph, this crystal alone doesn't have any power. All it does is channel the power inside of you, so you can use your power. But crystals aren't needed to channel the powers from within you; all they do is limit the amount you can give. The true power comes from within you, not the crystal, and not the moon. We don't even have a moon here," Piccolo said, his eyes never leaving hers, never flinching.
She looked at him amazed, all these years she had thought the crystal had the real power and she only had power to control the crystal; how could she believe otherwise? But he had her attention now.
"So what do I do?" she asked.
"I think she needs to learn how to fly first," Gohan piped up.
"Good point," Goku agreed, "I'll show her!"
Serena nervously glanced over to Vegeta who was sitting, unmoving in the same position he had been when they had gotten there. 'At least he won't have to fly me anymore,' She thought.
***
The flying lesions were very interesting. First, Goku and Gohan tried to explain the feeling of weightlessness flying entailed, but that didn't really help. All her past flying experiences consisted of wings; she couldn't imagine the feeling of flying all by herself. They told her to close her eyes and will her self to float off the ground. That didn't work. Finally, Goku took Serena up into the air and held her hand as he flew with her.
Serena closed her eyes put her arms out straight to the sides and imagined she was flying, as Goku had instructed. She did this for a while and felt like it was getting her nowhere until Goku exclaimed encouragingly, "Wow! You're doing great, Serena. It's like you were born flying."
Serena opened her eyes with his praise and noticed that he was now over ten feet away from her and she was flying...all by herself!
With that realization, Serena opened her mouth and began to scream. She stopped flying and promptly plummeted to the ground. Goku looked at her falling body in surprise, wondering what he had said wrong, then jolted down to catch up with her.
"Stop screaming!" he yelled to her, trying to talk over her screams.
She gradually stopped screaming and looked over to him with surprise. She begged him to help her stop falling. "Please, Goku! I'm going to be a moon pancake!"
"Oh come on, Serena, you can do it! You were doing just fine all by yourself. Just visualize yourself not falling anymore and have your will hold you up.
Serena was getting really tired of "visualizing" everything, but she did as she was told and closed her eyes. Only seconds before they would have hit the ground, Serena stopped herself from falling, and was floating. Her hair was a bit messed up, and she was slightly shaking but she was flying!
"Ok! Great job. Now slowly open your eyes, but don't stop willing yourself to be flying," Goku said happily, from right beside her.
Serena opened her eyes and looked at Goku with intense concentration in her expression. Eventually, once she got used to the feeling she was able to stop concentrating as much and was able to just float almost effortlessly.
"Great! See that wasn't so bad! Came pretty close though," Goku said with relief.
Serena finally looked down from where they had been floating since she caught herself from falling. She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw that she was only five feet from the ground. She had been five feet from certain death. When she saw this her brain finally gave up on her and she fainted, falling the rest of the way to the ground.
Goku almost jumped out of his skin when he saw her fall the rest of the way to the ground and land with a thud. He sweat dropped and slowly floated down to pick her up. "Not bad for your first try."
With Serena safely in his grasp, Goku blasted off toward the meadow where the others were waiting for them.
***
Once Serena had woken up, quite embarrassed of course, the fighters had decided to call it a night. As Serena was saying thank you and goodbye to everyone Vegeta got impatient with her and decided he couldn't wait for her any longer. He didn't even tell them he was going as he blasted off toward CC.
Serena watched him go unhappily. "There's no way I can keep up with him going that fast..."
"It's ok, Serena, my dad and I will take you home," Gohan said reassuringly.
"Thanks, Gohan," she replied.
"Wait," Piccolo said firmly as they were starting to fly away. "I think she should stay with me a few days. I think I know a way for her to find her real power."
"Ok!" Goku said happily. "You're really lucky, Serena. Piccolo is the best teacher, right Gohan."
Gohan nodded.
"Ok then, you got it, Piccolo. We'll stop by Bulma's and tell her where she is," Goku said with a little wave as he blasted off at lightening speed in the direction Vegeta had gone in. Gohan waved and winked kindly at Serena; he had some idea what she was in for. Then, he blasted off, following his father.
Serena watched them go with a feeling of helplessness. 'Now what?' she wondered as she glanced at Piccolo and gulped loudly.
"Are you afraid of me, Blondie? He asked her with a smirk.
Serena nodded slowly.
"Good, lets get going," he said as he jumped into the air and started flying in the opposite direction the others flew in.
She quickly jumped into the air and tried to follow him. Her flying was shaky and she kept on dropping a few feet and then going up again and the dropping again. She had to close her eyes just to keep herself from falling.
"Look, Blondie," Piccolo said from in front of her, "if you're going to keep your eyes closed you won't be able to see where you're going. Just relax and let it flow naturally"
Serena let out the air she had been holding in her lungs the entire time. After she felt more relaxed she opened her eyes and watched where she was going. Slowly her flying became much more steady and she was able to keep up with the slow pace Piccolo was keeping in front of her.
They flew for about forty-five minutes. Piccolo gradually picked up speed as he went when he figured Serena could handle it. They finally landed in a beautiful valley near a wondrous waterfall. Exotic trees covered the valley like a green blanket. Birds could be heard singing, and animals were playing happily. Serena looked around, taking it all in. "It's so peaceful," she said in an awed tone.
"That's the point," Piccolo said to her roughly. "Now, I want you to sit down and relax." When Serena looked at him confused he added, "We're going to meditate. You'll be able to look inside yourself and find your true power."
Serena was reminded of Rei. Countless times Serena had watched her friend kneel in front of her fire and pray to it. Serena had always wondered how she was able to see visions of the future or any danger that threatened the scouts; she had never thought such insight was possible for her to do; she was so different from Rei. Rei was more patient and wise than she had ever been.
"It's easy when you know how to," Piccolo said, seeming to read her thoughts. "Do what I do and what I tell you to do, I'll guide you to where you need to go."
Serena nodded and followed his actions of sitting down cross-legged and closing her eyes. Now that they were alone she was seeing a whole new side to Piccolo, he wasn't as mean as she had originally thought.
As Serena listened and obeyed Piccolo's instructions, she was led into her deep consciousness, after awhile she could no longer hear his voice, no longer hear anything.
She mentally traveled thousands of light years away. She passed thousands of moons, large and small. As she moved on, her mind traveled through the ages, far into the past, and she saw the moons inhabited by a nation of strong and noble people.
Her mind traveled onto one of the moons into another body. She was able to see into space where she had just come from, there was a battle. She saw explosions coming closer and closer to the moon she was on. The Lunarians around her prepared for battle, their faces firm and determined, all were ready to defend their way.
She was only a watcher. In the body she looked out from she felt the surging power flow through her. It was more powerful then anything she had ever felt before. The body she was in was accustomed to the amount of power but Serena was in intense pain...more pain than she felt when she was using the full power of her crystal. If she had been there more then mentally she would have died a thousand times over from the energy she felt.
The energy became more real to her as he mind grew accustomed to it, soon she felt another power, but this power was not from the Lunarians, it was coming from the approaching battle in space. Soon thousands of red-glowing beings in full battle array, and hatred on their faces, were visible as they attacked the moon. The power Serena felt was no more, and no less than the power she was beginning to recognize as her own; but this other power was evil.
Serena watched as the two forced crashed together in battle, white hair and silver eyes against orange hair and red eyes. As the attacks were flung between one side and the other, neither side had the upper hand.
Serena watched and felt as the two sides destroyed each other and all that was left was the ruin of the battlefield, the moon.
Serena's mind traveled back in time and space to the valley with the waterfall where her body had remained.
***
Piccolo was so shocked; he didn't want to believe his eyes nor his senses. He couldn't comprehend what he had just witnessed.
Once Serena had successfully started to meditate Piccolo had watched her carefully, making sure to be aware of any changes she went through. It didn't seem to be working, and after Piccolo had been watching her patiently for over five hours he almost thought she might have fallen asleep instead of meditating.
That was when the surge of insanely, powerful, and wild power burst from the small seated form of Serena. The entire valley shook and Piccolo was thrown three miles to the other end of the valley and had hit the cliffs with full force almost knocking him out. The valley continued to shake and Piccolo struggled to fly back to Serena to try to stop her out of control power from destroying everything.
As he neared her glowing form, he saw that her hair had changed from gold to white and it was whirling madly around her seated form, her face and body hadn't moved at all; her head was still bowed and her face was still relaxed.
Slowly the valley stopped shaking, as Serena seemed to get control of the power that had been awakened from inside of her. Her power calmed down, but didn't disappear. Piccolo had never felt anything like it before, so pure, yet so powerful.
All he could do was wait. As night came she finally woke up from her vision. He saw the glowing girl's eyes open, they were now silver. Serena blinked a few times and her hair changed back to golden and her eyes returned to clear blue.
She then collapsed to the ground, exhausted from all that she had witnessed and the changes she had just gone through.
Piccolo went over to her and picked her up. She appeared to be just an average girl again. He felt no power coming from her but he knew it was there. Now that her power had been awakened, all he had to do was teach her to use it.
************************************************************
Was that ok? I really want to know what you think.
Just in case you were confused, the vision Serena had was of the battle between the Lunarians and the Solarites. The one talked about in chapter 2. It happened thousands of years before in the DBZ dimension.
If there is anything else you're confused about mention it in your review and I'll address it next time, or you can just e-mail me at Shigal5@aol.com.
I hope it wasn't too boring, and I know Serena fainted too many times, but wouldn't you if you were in her position?
Thanks for Reading and Reviewing! Ja ne!

All he could do was wait. As night came she finally woke up from her vision. He saw the glowing girl's eyes open, they were now silver. Serena blinked a few times and her hair changed back to golden and her eyes returned to clear blue.
She then collapsed to the ground, exhausted from all that she had witnessed and the changes she had just gone through.
Piccolo went over to her and picked her up. She appeared to be just an average girl again. He felt no power coming from her but he knew it was there. Now that her power had been awakened, all he had to do was teach her to use it.

Was that ok? I really want to know what you think.
Just in case you were confused, the vision Serena had was of the battle between the Lunarians and the Solarites. The one talked about in chapter 2. It happened thousands of years before in the DBZ dimension.
If there is anything else you're confused about mention it in your review and I'll address it next time, or you can just e-mail me at Shigal5@aol.com.
I hope it wasn't too boring, and I know Serena fainted too many times, but wouldn't you if you were in her position?
Thanks for Reading and Reviewing! Ja ne!
