Hello everyone. I am really sorry for taking so long to update. I got a
new computer for christmas and have been having a lot of trouble with it.
I know, still a lame reason but at least I'm updating. It still could be
awhile before I update again. I would like to thank Rami and Saiya-jin
Mia. They have been a really big help with me one this. And of course, to
all of those who reviewed. Well I should stop rambling and let you read.
Oh I almost forgot. NO FLAMES ALOWED! Please be nice and read & review!
Disclaimer: I only intend on writing this once and it goes for the whole entire story. I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS FROM SAILOR MOON OR FROM DRAGON BALL Z. THEY BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFULL OWNERS.
Time Setting: This is after Chaos in the Sailor Moon world and after Cell but before GT in the Dragon Ball Z world. In Sailor Moon, It has been about 4 years after Chaos. So it is before Crystal Tokyo. In DBZ, Gohan is still a kid and Goku is alive. Also Future Trunks stays in the past. Goten isn't born either. Oh I almost forgot, this chapter starts before the z fighter saved Amy from the river. It kinda goes with how he found Amy. Well enjoy chapter 2!
Another Chance

Chapter 2
'Something is going to happen today, I can just feel it.' he thought. Piccolo had just finished sparing with his best friend and student, Son Gohan. He had come early that morning and they had continued to spar until Gohan could hear his mother, Chichi, screaming for him to come home and do his homework.
********************Flashback*********************
"I wish that for once she would just lay off a little bit on the homework stuff. I have done all my homework up to the 11th grade already and I am just in 6th. I think she's gone a little overboard." said the exasperated demi-sayian.
"Same here kid." replied the irritated Namekian.
Piccolo had been getting pretty annoyed by Chichi's constant screaming and hollering. She was so loud, that he could always hear here way out in the mountains if the wind was blowing in the right direction. That's why he had preferred meditating by the river, because no matter what why the wind was blowing, he could avoid hearing her.
"Well, see you same time next week," said Gohan as he flew off before his mother would blow a fuse.
"See ya kid," replied Piccolo as Gohan flew off to his home.
***************End Flashback*****************
So that's where he was now, sitting by the river meditating. That is, until he felt an unfamiliar ki. 'Who is that? It isn't Yamucha or Tien,' he wondered, 'but its power is at the same level as Krillin, and I know that that isn't him or any animal.' He tried to figure out whose ki it was until he felt a dark one coming after it. 'What is going on? It's like this new ki is pure evil!' He continued on trying to figure out what either of them could be, until he felt the first one start coming closer to him.
"Who ever it is, they seem to be running from that dark ki," Piccolo said out loud.
Suddenly, both ki's stopped moving and they seemed to be above him. His sensitive Namekian hearing picked up a few words that seemed to be coming from the sadistic being. He heard it say things like "join your friends," and "Sailor failure." Then he heard a blooding curdling scream of pain and the next thing he knew, he was watching something fall from the cliff and hit the water, hard. He shook himself out of the trance he had gone into and realized the "thing" that had fallen into the water was a person.
"Crap, I don't think any human could have survived that fall," he said.
But he was wrong. As he turned to leave, he caught a flash of light in the corner of his eye and turned towards the river. He soon saw a hand shoot through the water and into the air as a head followed soon after, gasping for breath. He stood there in utter shock, not believing what he was seeing. There was no way that anyone could have survived that fall; That is, any NORMAL person. By the time he got over his initial shock, he saw the figure slipping back down into the deep threatening water. 'I should just let him die. But if that thing up there is a new enemy, maybe I could get some information about what they want here. Besides, if he did try to attack me, I could destroy him very easily.' With the intention of just getting information, he reached down into the water and wrapped his arms around his waist. He roughly pulled him out and threw him onto the ground. He looked at him to see if he was still alive. He was pretty surprised to find out that it wasn't a "he" as he originally thought. It was a girl that looked to be about 20 and had blue hair. She was wearing a pair of jean shorts and a blue tank top under a jean jacket with a pair of white tennis shoes. Suddenly, her eyes opened, but only half way.
"Who are you," Piccolo asked gruffly.
The girl just stared at him.
"I said who are you?!" Piccolo snarled getting annoyed.
The girl just looked at him and then passed out. 'I wonder if she's okay. I can't even get a ki reading from her anymore.' Smirking, he then added, 'not that I care, but I won't be able to get any information if she's dead.' He thought back to when she was staring at him a few moments ago. Her face was just blank, like she hadn't heard a word he said to her, or probably even seen him. He walked over to where he had thrown her and checked the pulse. She was alive, but very weak. It was then that he noticed she had many cuts and bruises, but what stood out was a deep gash in her side.
"So it was her that screamed," he thought out loud.
He was wondering what exactly happened to her to cause such injuries when he felt something wet hit his face.
"Huh?" he said as he felt it hit his face again.
He looked up and it dawned on him that it was raining. The sky was really dark and the wind had really picked up, causing it to change from a nice, sunny day to a cold and dreary day.
"I've got to get her out of the rain and somewhere warm or she'll freeze to death," he said looking at her now shivering form.
He ripped off his cape and wrapped it around her body in hopes of keeping her warm. Her skin was now pale and cold to the touch. The rain was coming down harder and although Piccolo was a Namek, which made it hard to get cold easy, was even starting to shiver a little. He spotted his cave not too far off. He sometimes used it when the weather was bad because it was big enough to train in and the other end had a pool of water in it. So he wrapped an arm around the girl and started running as fast as he could towards the cave. As soon as he got to the cave, it started to come down even harder. 'Well, looks like I'm stuck in here for awhile,' he thought while setting the girl down. He grabbed some wood from a pile he had made earlier that week and used a small ki blast to start a blazing fire. He moved the girl as close as he could to it in hopes of getting her warmed up. He also noticed the small pool of blood that had soaked through his cape forming around her side. "Forgot about that," he said looking at the blood. He knew that if he didn't stop the bleeding that she would die from the lack of blood. He ripped off a piece of his cape and quickly went to the back of the cave where the pool of water was. He dipped it in and went back to the girl. He lifted her shirt just high enough to see the cut and carefully cleaned out the wound. He was right when he first noticed it the first time; it was pretty deep. He ripped another piece off his cape and wrapped it around her stomach and tied it on the other side. 'I hope that helps,' he thought to himself. 'That is, if it isn't too late already.'
"Oh does somebody actually care for a human," said a voice in his mind.
"Shut up Nail," Piccolo thought back.
"Oh I think I am right," Nail said back.
"I said SHUT UP," Piccolo yelled at the younger Namek that had resided in his body for quite some time.
"Nail I believe it would be wise to leave Piccolo alone at the moment. That girl is still pretty weak and it would be in her best interest that she be watched over to make sure that she survives." came the voice of the other resident in Piccolo's body.
"Why do you care old man," shot Piccolo.
"Yeah, why do you care?" questioned Nail.
"Because she seems awfully familiar to me. I believe that I have met her somewhere before, but I can't remember where," replied Kami.
"Well isn't this something. Kami, guardian of the earth, doesn't remember something. Must be because of old age," joked Piccolo, finding a twinge of pleasure at still being able to tease the old prune.
"I remember more things that you can imagine Piccolo. I can't be expected to remember every face I see. Besides, this girl has never been on earth before until now. Her ki isn't one of an earthling. It is very familiar though. This power I sense is a type of power that I haven't seen in about a thousand years," Kami pondered, trying to prove that he wasn't forgetful.
"Are you serious old man?" Piccolo asked, shocked at the fact that this girl had some type of power. But deep in his heart, he knew he was right. He could sense that there was a hidden power inside her that was waiting for the moment to be used.
"Yes I am serious. As soon as she wakes up, I believe you should ask her who she is, or rather, what she is. I am positive that this girl is no human." Kami insisted.
"Well I think you will be getting your answer very soon, Kami, I think she's starting to come around," Nail said as he watched the girl stir.
Piccolo got up and walked into the shadows away from the girl, so she wouldn't be frightened. Her eyes fluttered open as she tried to figure out where she was.
"Where am I?" She asked while trying to sit up. Piccolo was about to tell her not to do that, but he didn't say it fast enough. A mask of pain went across her face as she quickly lay back down.
"What happened to me?" she managed weakly.
"I found you after you fell into the river. I pulled you out and it started to rain so I brought you to my cave." Piccolo told her, "You had a pretty bad wound on your side so I cleaned it out to prevent you from loosing any more blood. You seem to have lost a lot from the way you passed out when I pulled you out," he finished, while walking out of the shadows and sitting down in front of the fire across from her.
He was surprised when she didn't scream at the sight of him. She just stared at him kind of like she did when he had asked her who she was earlier, but this time she seemed to be absorbing the information he told her.
"Who are you?" She asked cautiously.
Although he had saved her life, she wasn't too sure that she could trust him yet. She always was the cautious type, and there was something strange about him besides the fact that he was green, had antennas, and was really tall.
"I should be asking you that or rather, what are you? You don't have a normal ki for a human, so don't try and tell me that's what you are. Plus, you should have been killed from that fall you had from the cliff. No human could have survived that," He replied.
Ki? Falling from a cliff? Should have been dead? What was this guy talking about? Suddenly, the memories of that night came rushing back to her. The scouts were gone, Luna and Artemis dead, the youma going after her. It was all so much. The grief of losing her only friends that were like her sisters stabbed her like a knife. She just broke down and cried. 'What did I saw wrong?' Piccolo wondered as he stared at the crying girl, exasperated. All he did was ask her who or what she was and told her that she should have died from falling into the river, and she just broke down crying.
"Why? Why did you guys have to go and die on me? We were a team, friends, and you all had to die and leave me alone. I just needed a few more minutes. That's all and we could have destroyed it!" she sobbed.
"What is she crying about?" Nail wondered.
"Something about loosing her friends to a youma." Kami explained. "It seems like it attacked and killed all of her friends except for her."
"There is no way that she could have fought a youma. She is too weak to do that. She doesn't even have the body of a fighter." Nail said, trying to figure out how she could have fought a monster such as that.
Piccolo had to agree with Nail on this one. This girl was thin and didn't seem to have that many muscles.
"But she may not have had to actually use strength to fight a youma. She could use speed and skill instead of brute strength to win a battle." Piccolo said defending the girl.
"You could be right Piccolo. You could be right." Nail said taking that into consideration.
"What is your name girl?" Piccolo asked as she tried to stop crying.
She looked up at him and quickly whipped away the tears that had been coming down her cheeks.
"My name is Amy. And yours is?"
"It's Piccolo," he replied. "Do you remember what happened to you before you woke up here?" he asked, hoping that she wouldn't start crying again. For some reason, he didn't like it when she cried.
"Yes. Yes I do." Amy recalled, "I was running from a youma and trying to get help. I attacked it in order to by more time. I was not familiar with where I was and I ran into the forest. I kept running until I found myself at a cliff. I turned around to try and find another way to get help, when the youma cut me off. It raked its claws across my left side." She cringed. "I wasn't thinking straight so I just backed up as far as I could hoping to get a few moments to try and think of a plan to get away. I was loosing a lot of blood really fast, and I was having trouble just trying to stay standing. I had tried my best to hide my pain, but the youma saw straight through me." She paused trying to keep from crying once more. "It hit me very hard on my left side. Since I was so weak, it was enough force to knock me off the cliff, and then I feel into the river. I tried to make it to the surface, but I was so tired that I barely made it. I stayed up for a few seconds and then was pulled down again by the current, and…well… you know the rest." She purposely left out the parts about her being a Sailor Scout and how she attacked the youma, and how it had killed all her fellow scouts, including Tuxedo Mask and the Outer Scouts.
Piccolo knew she was still hiding something but decided that he shouldn't push her to tell him now. He would try to get her to tell him more tomorrow. Amy just stared at the fire, thinking about the scouts. They weren't coming back this time, and she knew it. Sailor Moon didn't get a chance to use the Silver Crystal to wish them all back.
***FLASHBACK TO THE BATTLE OF WHEN THE SCOUTS DIED***
The youma had sent a huge blast at Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask as Sailor Moon was gathering energy to use the Silver Crystal, killing them before they even hit the ground. They were the first to fall. Then Sailor Venus and Sailor Pluto went down. They were both running to cover Sailor Moon while she was gathering energy but they were caught in the blast before they could do anything. Then Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mars died. Sailor Jupiter was working on trying to cut off the vines that held Sailor Mars, but the youma, known as Ivy, had sent a vine that was made to a point on the end, straight at Jupiter. Mars had tried to warn her, but it was to late. The vine went straight threw her heart and then it went into Sailor Mars stomach. Amy, as Sailor Mercury, had rushed to Mars's side, hoping to maybe help her, but she couldn't do anything. Sailor Mars last words to her were, "Thanks for being there for us, and please tell Chad that I love him." Mercury agreed immediately, and Mars just smiled and breathed in her last breath and died. Then Uranus and Neptune died. They were coming to see if Pluto was still alive when Ivy had sent a vine at Neptune. Uranus saw this and jumped in front of Neptune. It went around both of their necks and lifted them of the ground, strangling them. Uranus tried to use her sword, but Ivy just used her vines to knock it out off her hands. Uranus then entwined her hand with Neptune's, and then they died with a smile on their faces. They had gotten to die together. It was what they wanted. Last came Saturn. She was devastated at the loose of another family. Her father had recently passed away and after being reborn from the battle with Mistress 9 and Pharaoh 90, Amara, Trista, and Michelle had pretty much been her family. They were all she had left. With them gone, she lost her will to live, making her use her ultimate attack. "Saturn Silence Wall," she hollered, creating a shield around her and Ivy. "You killed my family, the only family I had left, and for that, you must pay. SATURN DEATH REBORN REVOULUTION!!" She screamed. When the dust cleared, Sailor Saturn was gone, and Ivy was still standing, her tail waving triumphantly in the air. Sailor Mercury was the only one left, and she did the only thing she could. She ran. She ran hoping to find help.
*********FLASHBACK ENDED**************
Amy held back unshed tears. It was her fault they were gone. She wasn't strong enough to help them, and they died because of her weakness.
"Get some sleep. You look like you could use it." The voice of Piccolo pulled her out of her thoughts and back to her present situation.
"Oh okay. Goodnight." she said as she curled up in a ball under the cape.
"Ya whatever," Piccolo replied, watching her drift of to sleep.
He decided to meditate that night instead of sleeping, because he knew that there was no way he would be getting any sleep tonight because his mind kept wandering, trying to figure out what that girl was. 'I wonder why she seemed so sad for a while. Her eyes held so much pain and sadness, and regret. I wonder why. I guess I will find out in time.' Piccolo thought as he began to meditate. He was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't even feel the ki that was standing in the rain, waiting to make its move.
Well what do you think? Please Review!!

Sailor Mars last words to her were, "Thanks for being there for us, and please tell Chad that I love him." Mercury agreed immediately, and Mars just smiled and breathed in her last breath and died. Then Uranus and Neptune died. They were coming to see if Pluto was still alive when Ivy had sent a vine at Neptune. Uranus saw this and jumped in front of Neptune. It went around both of their necks and lifted them of the ground, strangling them. Uranus tried to use her sword, but Ivy just used her vines to knock it out off her hands. Uranus then entwined her hand with Neptune's, and then they died with a smile on their faces. They had gotten to die together. It was what they wanted. Last came Saturn. She was devastated at the loose of another family. Her father had recently passed away and after being reborn from the battle with Mistress 9 and Pharaoh 90, Amara, Trista, and Michelle had pretty much been her family. They were all she had left. With them gone, she lost her will to live, making her use her ultimate attack. "Saturn Silence Wall," she hollered, creating a shield around her and Ivy. "You killed my family, the only family I had left, and for that, you must pay. SATURN DEATH REBORN REVOULUTION!!" She screamed. When the dust cleared, Sailor Saturn was gone, and Ivy was still standing, her tail waving triumphantly in the air. Sailor Mercury was the only one left, and she did the only thing she could. She ran. She ran hoping to find help.
*********FLASHBACK ENDED**************
Amy held back unshed tears. It was her fault they were gone. She wasn't strong enough to help them, and they died because of her weakness.
"Get some sleep. You look like you could use it." The voice of Piccolo pulled her out of her thoughts and back to her present situation.
"Oh okay. Goodnight." she said as she curled up in a ball under the cape.
"Ya whatever," Piccolo replied, watching her drift of to sleep.
He decided to meditate that night instead of sleeping, because he knew that there was no way he would be getting any sleep tonight because his mind kept wandering, trying to figure out what that girl was. 'I wonder why she seemed so sad for a while. Her eyes held so much pain and sadness, and regret. I wonder why. I guess I will find out in time.' Piccolo thought as he began to meditate. He was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't even feel the ki that was standing in the rain, waiting to make its move.
