AN: Here's chapter four. Hope you like it.
Ch. 4
Piccolo and Gohan trained for the arrival of the Saiyajins. When the day finally came they patiently waited on the battlefield. Just as expected they felt three great kis land on Earth.
"M..Mr. Piccolo? I..Is that them?" Gohan asked when he realized just how strong the kis were.
"Yes Gohan that's them."
Three space pods landed in the middle of a large city. People began to gather around the extremely large crater. They gasped in shock when two of the pods opened and revealed two savage looking men.
"Why isn't that girl up yet?" Vegeta asked in frustration as he headed over to the third pod. One man from the crowd exclaimed, "They can talk!" That drew Nappa's attention and he laughed cruelly. "Oh, look! Little sheep lined up for the slaughter."
Vegeta opened the hatch and grabbed Usagi. "Don't make me have to wake you up like I did before." Usagi grumbled in her sleep before opening her innocent blue eyes. "Uncle Veggie I'm still not used to that gas."
"The short man has a little girl!" some woman exclaimed in outrage while pointing her finger accusingly.
Usagi's attention was pulled away from her mentor as she noticed the fresh air and bright blue sky. "We're home!" she shouted while grinning from ear to ear. She sprang from Vegeta's arms and hugged him in all of her joy. He, on the other hand, just looked at her like she had gone crazy.
One woman sighed, "Oh how cute."
Suddenly Usagi closed her eyes and concentrated on the larger kis. Her eyes flew open and her grin got even bigger. She pointed west and started to jump up and down. "Uncle Veggie, Gohan's that way!" she started to levitate and would have blasted off if Vegeta hadn't grabbed one of her arms. "No Usa. You're staying here." He watched as her hopeful face crumpled.
"Y..You can't be serious." When he didn't move to deny it her eyes became huge and teary. "B..But why?" Why won't you let me go and see my family? Are you that cruel?"
Vegeta nearly flinched at her words. It hurt him for her to think of him like that. "You are going to get hurt."
"How can I get hurt with all of the training you put me through? Wouldn't it help me to see how a real battle is fought?" Vegeta knew that she had a point. He also knew that she didn't understand the likes of war and pain. She knew nothing of death and its aftermath. No he wasn't going to put her through that.
"You are staying, end of story."
"But why?"
"Because I said so."
She looked at him with hurt and betrayal as he turned his back on her. Vegeta tried to ignore her tearful gaze be clicking the button on the side of his scouter. Foreign numbers flashed across the screen and soon he and Nappa were flying westward. Nappa turned around in mid-flight and released a massive ki blast while mumbling something about dumb humans. The ki blast demolished everything in the city. Hundreds of lives were lost and tall buildings were reduced to nothing but rubble. Usagi was ok because she was still in the crater, which was below ground zero. She stared after Nappa in horror. How could someone do such a thing?
Piccolo was confused. The strongest and the weakest kis were heading toward them. What about the other one? "Get ready Gohan. They're coming."
"Right," Gohan answered while falling into a fighting stance.
Maybe an ambush? Piccolo shook his head to clear it and focused on the battle ahead.
The charred rubble crunched under Usagi's feet. She had another vision. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she wept for the dead. She knew that Nappa would kill almost all of her dad's friends. She knew that Vegeta would fight against her dad. The only problem was that she loved both her dad and the arrogant Saiyajin no ouji. It isn't Vegeta's fault that he is the way he is.
~*~*Flashback*~*~
Vegeta and Usagi were on a small island for away from Nappa. They left him to fend for himself for a few weeks. They were relaxing after a hard day of training by a warm fire. As night descended over the two warriors so did a comforting silence. Surprisingly Vegeta broke it by asking, "I don't get it. Why are you the way you are?" Usagi tore her gaze from the twinkling stars and looked at him in confusion.
"Why is anyone the way they are? Vegeta you can't possibly expect me to answer that question." He stared at her in wonder, "Whay are you so innocent and kind? I have never met a Saiyajin like you before." She laughed at his confusion. "I guess it was the way I grew up. Dad is kind though a little dense at times and Mom is well.mom." Vegeta just raised an eyebrow.
"That wasn't much of an answer."
"That wasn't much of a question." Usagi turned over on her stomach and looked at him curiously. "How did you grow up?" Vegeta blinked a couple of times in surprise while debating on whether or not to answer her.
"I didn't have much of a childhood."
"Oh?"
"It started out good. I mean I was the prince of one of the most powerful and feared races to ever roam the universe. My father wasn't exactly the caring type but he was still there for me. He not only trained me in the art of fighting but in the ways of royalty." Usagi somehow understood what he was talking about. She continued to watch as his eyes glared over and memories washed over him.
"Then Freeza came. He kidnapped me and killed my father along with my home. He lied and told me, as well as Nappa and Raditz, that an asteroid destroyed the planet. I was trained to be apart of his army. I've killed millions all under his name. Little does he know that I will kill him when I am strong enough." Usagi was beside him now looking at him in worry. As if suddenly remembering where he was he looked down at the girl that was hugging him.
"Don't worry Uncle Veggie. You can some and live with me!" He almost smiled down at her but instead returned her hug. What am I doing?! Gently pushing her away he settled down to sleep. "We should get some sleep." Usagi walked over to her spot and was about to fall asleep when she heard, "Arigato Usa-chan." She smiled before drifting to sleep.
~*~*End Flashback*~*~
Usagi smiled as she thought That was the first time I ever called him Uncle Veggie and the first time he called me Usa-chan. She shook her head and focused on the work to be dome. "First to heal all of there people." She concentrated on her ki and felt it flare to life. Bringing her hands up she watched as energy beams streaked from them.
The entire city was consumed in a silver glow. Usagi collapsed from the energy drain and rested for a few minutes. She heard muffled voices from around her and felt herself being lifted into a hover car. Cracking open an eyelid she read the words Capsule Hospital before blacking out completely.
Nappa was having sport with the three eyed man when he felt it. Everyone stopped and looked to the east where silver light tinted the sky. Usagi. Vegeta thought in frustration. He had a feeling that she was doing something foolish at the moment. Her ki was almost to zero and he was tempted to find her and scream at her. Sighing he met the gaze of the Namekian.
"That ki feels familiar. Why?"
"I don't answer to weaklings," he said while turning back to the battle.
Usagi woke up and found herself in a starch white room that smelled too clean. She remembered where she was and grinned. Hopping out of bed she opened the window. "Now to go and see Gohan." Concentrating she found him exactly where he was before. Something unnerved her about going thought. She had a feeling that some of the warriors had already been lost. Jumping up she flew towards the battlefield.
Nappa was charging toward the remaining three warriors when Vegeta's voice broke through his rage. "Nappa, stop!" But for once Nappa didn't follow orders. He was about to tear the little bald guy to shreads when pain streaked through his head.
Vegeta was about to *make* Nappa stop when suddenly his comrade disappeared. A cliff nearby collapsed and he found Nappa soaring through it and into a giant mountain. He blinked a few times and turned back to the three, now four warriors.
"That's what you get Nappa when I have to heal an ENTIRE CITY!" Everyone was watching the blond-haired girl as she floated in the air. She turned and glomped her brother, "Gohan!! I missed you *sooo* much!"
"U..Usagi?...Usagi!"
She laughed at her twin and at the same time they exclaimed, "You've changed so much!" They started laughing again. Usagi pulled away from her brother and looked Piccolo in the eye. "Thank you for training Gohan. I can tell that he is a lot stronger." She turned back to Gohan and was about to tell him everything that happened when an enraged voice irrupted from behind her.
"USAGI!!" She winced at his tome but still didn't turn around.
"H..Hai?"
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay with the ships?!"
Usagi took a deep breath before sinning around on her heel to face her angry sensei. She spoke with a royal tone, "I came here to see my family-" Before she could say another thing Nappa landed a few feet away from them.
"Why you little brat! I should pound you into a bloody pulp right now!"
"Go ahead and try Nappa."
The other z-senshi looked at her in horror. This girl was *challenging* that monster?! Nappa charged at her with his fist raised and she just stood straight. As his fist came down she punched him in the gut. He crumpled and held his stomach in pain. Everyone, save Vegeta, looked at her in shock.
"Usa-chan leave," Vegeta commanded from behind Nappa.
"Uncle Veggie you know that I can't do that."
Vegeta sighed as he pulled out the remote control to his ship. He *really* didn't want to do this. "Usa-chan you have three hours. I've decided to wait for your father and when he gets here you have to go in the ship understand?"
"Hai Vegeta-sama!" She was grateful that he gave her that much time. She ran up and hugged him much to everyone's surprise. After a moment she was back at Gohan's side eagerly telling him about all of her adventures.
_________________1 hour later____________________________________________________________
"Wow! I wish I went!" Gohan exclaimed as she finished her tale. Usagi grabbed Gohan's hand and dragged him over to where Vegeta was sitting, much to the child's dismay. "Uncle Veggie! This is my brother Gohan."
Vegeta didn't even look up from his sitting position, "We've met." Usagi just rolled her eyes and grinned, "We've got to go and say hi to Nappa. Ja!" Gohan watched the spiky-haired short man smirk and say, "I think he'll be happy to talk to you." Usagi grimed before dragging Gohan over to the other, much larger, Saiyajin.
"Ohayo Nappa! Want to spar?" The alien in question just growled at them, "No!"
"You're right I'd just win anyway." They walked back to Krillen and Piccolo leaving a fuming Saiyajin in their wake. Piccolo watched Goku's daughter in wonder. So the short man trained her. No wonder she is so powerful. I have a feeling that her power will only grow with time, he thought as he recalled the conversation he overheard.
_________________2 hours later___________________________________________________________
A beeping sounded from Vegeta's scouter. "Time's up." He looked toward Usagi expectantly. "Don't do anything rash Veggit. Daddy will be here," she said before disappearing into the small pod. As soon as the hatch closed gas filled the small compartment. Krillen noticed this and screamed in outrage, "You gassed her!"
"No, she is only sleeping. Now shall we begin? Nappa!" The bald Saiyajin stepped up in response while cracking his knuckles. Only one question ran through everyone's mind. Where's Goku?
Part B
Piccolo died while protecting Gohan, only Krillen and Gohan were left now. Nappa was about to finally kill them without that brat interfering. When a cloud swooped down and saved them. He looked up and saw, "Daddy! You finally came!"
Nappa just looked confused for a second. Why is this kid calling me 'Daddy'? He looked up and saw a man floating in the sky. "so Kakarot finally decided to show up. About time, I've been waiting for a *real* fight."
Goku just ignored the burly Saiyajin and healed Krillen and Gohan with a senzu bean. "Daddy you should have seen it! Usa came and saved us! She took the big guy down in two hits! Can you believe it?!"
"What, Usa was here?!"
"She still is. That short guy convinced her to go into his ship. She was gassed asleep." Goku tried to since her ki and almost fell out of the sky. "That's her?! Oh Kami, and she's only *sleeping*! How did she get so strong? Do you guys know?"
Gohan smiled slightly, "The short guy is her sensei."
"WHAT?! Chichi is going to have a fit!" He started laughing when he imagined Chichi chasing after the two new warriors with her magical frying pan screaming, 'You took away my baby!' Shaking his head he came back to reality.
"Krillen, Gohan, I want you guys to head back to Master Roshi's. I'll take care of these two."
"What? By yourself? Goku you're going to need all the help you can get."
"Yeah Dad! I want to stay with you."
Krillen felt Goku's power and convinced Gohan that they needed to leave. "Ok Dad, I'll go, but promise me that you'll get Usa back k?"
"Ok, Gohan. I promise," Goku said while watching his son and best friend fly off. Sighing he flew over to the short spiky-haired man. "I wanted to thank you for training me daughter, and you know.not killing her," Goku said while laughing a little nervously.
Vegeta studied him and almost gagged at his kindness. Usa wasn't kidding when she said that he was a little 'dense'. Nappa screamed in rage obviously frustrated that he was being ignored. Vegeta watched Goku easily defeat Nappa. I wouldn't expect anything less from Usa's father. As soon as Nappa was eliminated permanently Vegeta started to power up. Goku followed his lead and the battlefield was surrounded in light. And so the battle began.
Usagi was safely tucked away in the space pod far from the battle. Her body was weak from healing that entire city so she couldn't force herself awake. The last thing she felt before slipping into her dreams was her father and sensei power up for battle.
Her dreams were filled with memories of a peaceful place on the moon. As soon as she was about to relax her dream turned into a nightmare. She watched as evil looking people invaded and destroyed the world around her They are coming.coming.coming... a small mysterious voice echoed through her head.
Child, princess...incess.prepare yourself.yourself. They are coming.coming.com- Her small body jolted against the sea. Sweat poured down her face and onto her rapidly moving chest. She whimpered once as silver light washed over her. Her dreams were replaced with visions of hundreds of green people crying out in pain. She lived through the destruction of Namek.
How can this be happening? How can a third class warrior have improved so much in such a little amount of time? Vegeta thought as he pressed a command on his ship's controller. The small pod came racing over to him as the hatch slowly opened. Gas escaped from the small compartment and a groan sounded from inside.
Usagi felt herself return to the conscience world and groaned. The sun's rays just *had* to be shining RIGHT in her eyes. She squinted and slowly opened her eyes. After blinking a few times she remembered where she was.
Her body refused to obey her commands and move. She was still very weak from her vision and the healing. Though the long nap she just had helped, her body wanted more sleep. Usagi's eyes narrowed in determination as she forced herself out of the small ship. She had to know who won, and who died. She had to know.
Vegeta;s eyes widened in surprise as a very weak looking Usagi came toppling out of his ship. In all of his shock he lost concentration and fell to his knees. Growling in frustration he glared at his legs. The next thing he new was a hand was on his shoulder helping him steady himself. He looked up and into the blue eyes of Usagi. She grinned all of a sudden and said, "I swear Veggie. I turn my back for one minute and you almost kill yourself. Just what am I going to do with you?" He just rolled his eyes before collapsing into her arms.
Usagi watched as he fell onto her small form. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and held her friend for a second. Hearing footsteps she looked up and found Krillen walking towards them with a sword in hand. Realizing his intentions she gripped Vegeta closer. It was her turn to protect him. Taking a deep breath she decided to take control of the situation. Speaking in a royal tome that surprised herself she demanded Krillen's attention.
"Let me kill his Usagi. He has caused so much trouble."
"Krillen listen. You could kill him but in the time it takes you to do that my father will surely die."
"W-What?"
"Go and get Gohan and lay him next to dad." When Krillen hesitated she commanded, "Do it! Please Krillen we must hurry." When she saw him scurry off she began to lift Vegeta.
Forgive me this might hurt. Usagi dragged Vegeta over to where her father's prone body lay. Krillen sat Gohan between the two older Saiyajins. "Krillen if you want to be healed too then lay down next to them."
"No I'm fine."
She just shrugged and began to examine her three patients. A small list started to form in her head, Countless bruises and cuts, many broken bones, organ damage, internal bleeding, multiple concussions, major exhaustion. Gohan didn't have too many physical wounds, but he was almost too exhausted to live. She gulped when she noticed that Vegeta's right eye was missing. She shuddered when she saw that her father's leg bones were reduced to nothing but powder. What did they do to each other?
Sighing she lifted her hands and began to gather her energy. Closing her eyes she unconsciously searched out the moon with her mind. Krillen watched in pure amazement as a silver colored power washed over the three figures. Usagi noticed that her strength was diminishing faster than she would have hoped. Opening her eyes she saw the shining ball of artificial moonlight above her. She mentally called out of its power.
Krillen watched in shock as the ki ball Vegeta used to transform merged with Usagi. It replenished a small portion of her strength, but didn't help much. As she continued to pour her power into her healing she remembered her dream. She fell onto her knees and closed her eyes. Her heart poured out into a single plea, into one request. Krillen just barely heard her whisper something that sounded like, "Please sacred goddess Selene, lend me your power. Let the power of the moon flow through me. Please. Let me save my precious ones." As if in answer her aura increased in light so bright that Krillen was forced to turn away. A small golden crescent moon appeared on her forehead. It started to pulsate and glow with the power of its owner.
Bones began to mend and stitch themselves together, vital organs healed, and hearts began to pump with a new hope. Usagi smiled serenely before collapsing into a heap next to her precious ones. Krillen jumped up and laughed as he realized that she had healed them. Just then a hover car landed and everyone that had stayed back came rushing out to greet them. Bulma ran to check on Goku while Chichi ran to her "little babies". Bulma was about to start bombarding Krillen with questions when Chichi's teary voice broke through everyone's celebrating.
"B-Bulma! I.It's Usagi! She isn't breathing!"

"Uncle Veggie, Gohan's that way!" she started to levitate and would have blasted off if Vegeta hadn't grabbed one of her arms. "No Usa. You're staying here." He watched as her hopeful face crumpled.
"Y..You can't be serious." When he didn't move to deny it her eyes became huge and teary. "B..But why?" Why won't you let me go and see my family? Are you that cruel?"

"Go ahead and try Nappa."

Usagi was safely tucked away in the space pod far from the battle. Her body was weak from healing that entire city so she couldn't force herself awake. The last thing she felt before slipping into her dreams was her father and sensei power up for battle.
Her dreams were filled with memories of a peaceful place on the moon. As soon as she was about to relax her dream turned into a nightmare. She watched as evil looking people invaded and destroyed the world around her They are coming.coming.coming... a small mysterious voice echoed through her head.
Child, princess...incess.prepare yourself.yourself. They are coming.coming.com- Her small body jolted against the sea. Sweat poured down her face and onto her rapidly moving chest. She whimpered once as silver light washed over her. Her dreams were replaced with visions of hundreds of green people crying out in pain. She lived through the destruction of Namek.
How can this be happening? How can a third class warrior have improved so much in such a little amount of time? Vegeta thought as he pressed a command on his ship's controller. The small pod came racing over to him as the hatch slowly opened. Gas escaped from the small compartment and a groan sounded from inside.
Usagi felt herself return to the conscience world and groaned. The sun's rays just *had* to be shining RIGHT in her eyes. She squinted and slowly opened her eyes. After blinking a few times she remembered where she was.
Her body refused to obey her commands and move. She was still very weak from her vision and the healing. Though the long nap she just had helped, her body wanted more sleep. Usagi's eyes narrowed in determination as she forced herself out of the small ship. She had to know who won, and who died. She had to know.
Vegeta;s eyes widened in surprise as a very weak looking Usagi came toppling out of his ship. In all of his shock he lost concentration and fell to his knees. Growling in frustration he glared at his legs. The next thing he new was a hand was on his shoulder helping him steady himself. He looked up and into the blue eyes of Usagi. She grinned all of a sudden and said, "I swear Veggie. I turn my back for one minute and you almost kill yourself. Just what am I going to do with you?" He just rolled his eyes before collapsing into her arms.
Usagi watched as he fell onto her small form. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and held her friend for a second. Hearing footsteps she looked up and found Krillen walking towards them with a sword in hand. Realizing his intentions she gripped Vegeta closer. It was her turn to protect him. Taking a deep breath she decided to take control of the situation. Speaking in a royal tome that surprised herself she demanded Krillen's attention.
"Let me kill his Usagi. He has caused so much trouble."
"Krillen listen. You could kill him but in the time it takes you to do that my father will surely die."
"W-What?"
"Go and get Gohan and lay him next to dad." When Krillen hesitated she commanded, "Do it! Please Krillen we must hurry." When she saw him scurry off she began to lift Vegeta.
Forgive me this might hurt. Usagi dragged Vegeta over to where her father's prone body lay. Krillen sat Gohan between the two older Saiyajins. "Krillen if you want to be healed too then lay down next to them."
"No I'm fine."
She just shrugged and began to examine her three patients. A small list started to form in her head, Countless bruises and cuts, many broken bones, organ damage, internal bleeding, multiple concussions, major exhaustion. Gohan didn't have too many physical wounds, but he was almost too exhausted to live. She gulped when she noticed that Vegeta's right eye was missing. She shuddered when she saw that her father's leg bones were reduced to nothing but powder. What did they do to each other?
Sighing she lifted her hands and began to gather her energy. Closing her eyes she unconsciously searched out the moon with her mind. Krillen watched in pure amazement as a silver colored power washed over the three figures. Usagi noticed that her strength was diminishing faster than she would have hoped. Opening her eyes she saw the shining ball of artificial moonlight above her. She mentally called out of its power.
Krillen watched in shock as the ki ball Vegeta used to transform merged with Usagi. It replenished a small portion of her strength, but didn't help much. As she continued to pour her power into her healing she remembered her dream. She fell onto her knees and closed her eyes. Her heart poured out into a single plea, into one request. Krillen just barely heard her whisper something that sounded like, "Please sacred goddess Selene, lend me your power. Let the power of the moon flow through me. Please. Let me save my precious ones." As if in answer her aura increased in light so bright that Krillen was forced to turn away. A small golden crescent moon appeared on her forehead. It started to pulsate and glow with the power of its owner.
Bones began to mend and stitch themselves together, vital organs healed, and hearts began to pump with a new hope. Usagi smiled serenely before collapsing into a heap next to her precious ones. Krillen jumped up and laughed as he realized that she had healed them. Just then a hover car landed and everyone that had stayed back came rushing out to greet them. Bulma ran to check on Goku while Chichi ran to her "little babies". Bulma was about to start bombarding Krillen with questions when Chichi's teary voice broke through everyone's celebrating.
"B-Bulma! I.It's Usagi! She isn't breathing!"
