with SOME romance.
Ch. 6 Part A
It had been a couple of months now and Usagi and Goku were still stuck in the hospital. Usagi was better and was free to leave whenever she wanted, but she waited on her father to get better. Goku was able to get up and walked around even though he wasn't supposed to.
Chichi was in the other room hanging up laundry while Usagi was telling her father about some of the new things that she had learned. Her tale of Freeza was interrupted by someone tapping on the window. Yajorobe was there and rudely shoved a bag of senzu beans into her hands.
The doctor nearly had another heart attack when Goku burst from his bandages after eating one. Nimbus came and the two Saiyajins headed toward the Briefs' residence. Soon afterward they were flying through space on a six-day trip to Namek.
Vegeta watched as Bulma chewed them out for leaving her. He was tempted to laugh as she tried to make him feel bad. Her eyes sparked with anger and he was fascinated. Get a grip on yourself Vegeta. Despite himself he found that he was falling for his blue-haired goddess. Just like Usa said. If that girl doesn't get here soon then I'm going to kill one of her friends.
But not Bulma some unknown voice said in his head.
Oh shut up!
"Are you listening to me?!" an ear-splitting voice pulled him from his thoughts. She had let the other two 'brats' go and now her attention was on him.
"No." That little word forced her left eye to start twitching. Smirking he walked straight up to her so that they were only about a foot apart. He grabbed hold of her arms and held them to her sides. Bending down he whispered in her ear, "And what are you going to do about it?" Vegeta watched her shiver and smirked. Bulma watched him step away and walk out of the Capsule house seemingly on top of the world.
"Ok Usa I want you to show me everything Vegeta taught you." She closed her eyes and locked her mind on her father's ki. A brilliant pale blue surrounded him. Smirking slightly she powered up and said, "Bring it on."
Goku was surprised at how much she had been taught in such a short amount of time. Her power level was around what Vegeta's was before they fought. He wasn't surprised to find her taking advantage of every possible weakness that he showed. She knew Vegeta's way of fighting; now it was time for her to learn his.
Usagi often compared her father to Vegeta and vise versa. They seemed so alike yet so different. She felt kind of annoyed that her father would always go easy on her. He had so much patience where Vegeta had none.
~*~*~*~*~Flash Back~*~*~*~*~*~
It was the first spar she ever had with her dad. She had fought until she collapsed from the energy drain. "Usa it was just a spar. You could have stopped if you felt dizzy or something."
"No Dad. That was the way I was taught. You can't just stop and take a break during a real battle. I was taught you give your all or nothing, anything else and it just isn't worth fighting for," she said remembering Vegeta's exact words.
~*~*~*~*~End Flash Back~*~*~*~*~
In those six days to Namek and the months before Usagi became really close to her father. They trained under 100x Earth's normal gravity and eventually reached a new level. Goku guessed that Usagi was now somewhere around Vegeta's power level, maybe a little less. She always kept up with him and never complained.
As the last few minutes approached they both waited anxiously. Usagi had a bad feeling that they were going to be cutting it close. The ship's door opened agonizingly slow. Sunlight streaked through the windows and soon flooded the ship in warmth. Goku grabbed a bag of senzu beans and strapped them to his belt. Visions of everyone flashed before Usagi's eyes.
"Dad, we have to hurry! They can't hold out much longer!" she yelled as they blasted off toward their friends. Usagi landed next to a badly beaten Vegeta and hugged him gently. "What's this? Another little brat?" a tall man with red hair said. Both Vegeta and Usagi ignored him. "Veggie, I told you to have fun! Now you almost get yourself killed…AGAIN!" He just rolled his eyes in response. "Where's Gohan and Krillen?"
"Look behind you." She turned and gasped, "Gohan!" Flying over to her brother's side she found him twitching. Goku came over and gave his son and Krillen a senzu bean. Usagi grabbed one and gave it to Vegeta. He immediately healed and looked her up and down, "You got stronger."
"Yep!" They started to make their way back over to the others when Usagi asked, "So did anything happen between you and Bulma?" Vegeta just smirked in remembrance and she giggled. "Veggie's got a girlfriend! Veggie's got a girlfriend!" He glared at her when she started to sing and dance around him. A nearby cliff exploded returning everyone's attention to the red- haired man from before. Usagi latched on to one of Vegeta's legs and looked at the three enemies. "They look funny," she whispered to Vegeta causing him to smirk.
Goku stepped up and defeated two of the aliens without even breaking a sweat. Everyone, save Usagi, just stared at him in shock. "Just what did you two do on the way over here?" Krillen asked in shock. "I'll tell you guys later. Right now I just want to leave. There are too many bad people on this planet." She was clinging to Vegeta's leg so he gave in and picked her up. She rested against his shoulder and was about to fall asleep when her father announced that he was going to find Captain Ginyu and get the dragon balls back. He told them that they should get some rest before blasting off. (AN: I know that that isn't the way it happened, but I didn't see that specific episode so bear with me k?)
Soon all four of the remaining Z-senshi blasted off for Freeza's abandoned ship. Usagi frowned and shifted in Vegeta's arms. "How can this armor be comfortable? I can't even sleep on it." Vegeta shrugged before smirking, "You should try it on."
"Nu-uh. No way! I am NOT walking around looking like one of Freeza's MEN." (AN: That could be taken two different ways. Heh heh…) He just chuckled amused. Vegeta took everyone into the ship gave them Saiyajin armor. The guys looked pleased and started to compliment the fit and how comfortable it was. Usagi on the other hand crossed her arms and glared at Vegeta stubbornly. He rammed the door shut and sat outside of it to make sure she didn't sneak out. He was about to dose off when Usagi meekly walked out clad in Saiyajin armor.
Now she looks more like a Saiyajin Princess. "This is too bulky. If you took off the shoulder pads and these little flaps then *maybe* I would wear it." She turned and marched back into the door before Vegeta could comment. After changing back into her regular clothing she plopped down in her mentor's lap and fell asleep. "Goodnight, little one." Closing his eyes he soon joined the girl in dreamland.
Gohan and Krillen were outside "watching the ship" as they were told. "Usagi is so much stronger now. I can't believe it, Krillen said while leaning against one of the ship's legs. "Yeah I know. I'm going to have to get Dad to train me too." As they continued to chat Captain Ginyu, in Goku's body, landed in the distance. "Look there's Goku!" Krillen exclaimed while jumping up. "He's back already?"
Vegeta shot awake when something in his arms started to shake. Looking sown he saw Usagi shaking while clutching him tighter. "This is bad Vegeta. This is very bad." Before he could ask her what in the hell she was talking about her eyes grew wide and she jumped up. He followed her as she raced out of the ship. She flew as fast as she could until she was in front of Krillen and Gohan. "Matte! That isn't Dad."
"What are you talking about Usagi? Of course that's Goku," Krillen said as he stepped passed her. Gohan looked at her in worry, "You had another vision didn't you?" She just nodded before shouting at Ginyu/Goku, "Ginyu! What did you do with my father?" The man chuckled and squatted down to her level.
"Well aren't we smart girl. You puny little father was no match for my power." It was her turn to chuckle, "My Dad could kick your ass with his eyes closed and his hands tied behind his back."
"Why you little—"
"I'm a little what? Princess? Aww you're so nice!" Ginyu/Goku lunged for her but a fist sent him flying into a strategically placed cliff. "You mess with her, you have to deal with me," Vegeta stated while glaring in his general direction.
"We have to stall him until Dad gets here." When Ginyu emerged from the rubble Usagi latched herself onto his shoulders. She placed her hands on both of sides of his head and started to glow. Ginyu collapsed onto his knees as she plowed through his mind. He heard all of the agonizing screams of his victims, and lived through the destruction of countless planets.
Ginyu, Freeza's reign is over. The Saiyajins are here to avenge the lives of millions. Witness your evil. Feel their pain. In answer to that comment Ginyu released an anguishing scream as he looked into the eyes of an innocent child that was destroyed in a great ball of light coming from him…
Vegeta watched as Usagi collapsed on the ground next to the body of her father. He bent down and scooped up her unconscious form. "What did she do to him?" Krillen asked while staring at the twitching a whimpering body of his best friend. After a few minutes Ginyu forced himself to stand. He glared at the small girl in Vegeta's arms.
Out of nowhere Goku, in Captain Ginyu's body, slowly floated to the ground. Usagi stirred and looked at the purple warrior, "Dad!" She turned to Vegeta and said, "He looks funny." She would have hopped out of Vegeta's arms if he hadn't of held her tighter.
"No, Kakarot wouldn't want you getting in the way." Usagi stopped and looked at her mentor with tears in her eyes.
"So I just get in the way?" Vegeta looked down at her in surprise. She broke free from his grasp and backed up while sniffling.
"Usa-chan I—"
"Usagi get out of the way!" She turned just in time to see Ginyu's (in Goku's body) hand grab her shirt. "It is payback time you little punk."
"No Usagi!"
"Let her go Ginyu!"
"My my such affection for this little brat. She'll be missed once I send her into the Next Dimension!" Vegeta, Gohan, and Goku started to lung forward but even they couldn't get there in time. Usagi watched as Ginyu raised his glowing hand for the deadly attack. In that split second a few images flashed before her eyes.
"She is no Saiyajin."
"She is a weakling…kill her."
"You are going to get hurt."
"..you should be grateful to me because I saved your life!"
"…mindless barbarians!"
"…wouldn't want you getting in the way."
Getting in the way…getting in the way… Usagi gritted her teeth and took the blast head on. Ginyu's laughter rang all around as a great roar of power engulfed her. The pain that streaked through her was nothing compared to the harsh comments that were echoing in her head. She was nothing but a failure…a failure.
Both Vegeta and Goku were blinded by the cloud of dust that arose. "There's no way anyone could have survived a blast like that from close range," Krillen's small voice rang through the silence that blanketed all of the fighters. Only Captain Ginyu's laughter was heard echoing off the cliffs.
When the smoke settled a huge crater appeared where Usagi once stood. Krillen, Gohan, Goku, and Vegeta all slowly peaked down into the crater. (AN: couldn't you just see Vegeta peeking? Hehe. Not like that you hentais! *clears throat* Putting on serious face again.) They had to know if she survived. She lay in the crater with a small silver glow still surrounding her. Blood streaked down the side of her mouth and her left leg was bent at a strange angle. Looking closer they saw that her unseeing eyes were staring up at the green sky. A wave of relief washed over them when they heard her moan.
"You bastard!" Gohan yelled while attacking Captain Ginyu. (AN: He's picking up some bad speech habits from his sister) He was hesitant before because he couldn't attack a man that looked like his father. No, his dad would never have hurt Usagi like that. Soon Krillen and Vegeta joined in the battle. Goku was still too weak to really do any real damage. He jumped down in the crater and headed toward his daughter.
Usagi felt nothing but pain. A dull painful throbbing cam from her left leg as well as her back. Her lungs labored to draw in precious air as she fought with the pain of her broken ribs. She had to survive. If she died then she would forever stay a failure in the eyes of her family. She had to live so she could make things right. Her vision cleared for a split second and she stared into the teary eyes of her father. Then all went black.
Goku had managed to get his body back and in the process transport Captain Ginyu's mind into a frog. No one felt like celebrating as Goku lost consciousness and Vegeta appeared with a half dead Usagi in his arms. There was only room for one person in the rejuvenation tank and since it only really worked with full-blooded Saiyajins they put Goku in it. Between Krillen, Gohan, and Vegeta they had nearly beaten Goku's body to death in all of their rage. While Goku was healing, the three people were left staring at Usagi's unconscious form.
"We have to help her. There must be something we can do," Gohan said while looking at his companions. "Bulma! I bet she could heal her," Krillen said a few minutes later. Vegeta picked Usagi up with gentle hands. "I'm taking her." Gohan and Krillen were about to complain when he snapped, "I can fly faster than both of you." Before another word could be said he blasted off in a trail of blue light. Krillen turned to Gohan, "Now's our chance. We can wish upon the dragon without having Vegeta interfere."
Vegeta tightened his grip on the small child in his arms. He didn't want to accidentally drop her while he was flying at top speed. His special sense located Bulma in no time. Usa-chan better be alright. He looked down at her and almost grimaced at the pain he saw lining her face.
He descended between a small crack between two cliffs. His blue- haired goddess was peacefully sleeping on a lawn chair. While balancing Usagi in one arm he roughly shook Bulma awake. Any other time he would have been gentler but this was an exception. Her blue eyes opened and widened in fear. "Vegeta, what in the hell are you doing here?" she exclaimed while jumping up from her seat. Then she noticed Usagi curled up in his arms. "What happened to her?"
"There is no time to explain. Can you heal her?" Bulma looked up in shock when she heard the pleading fear-stricken tome in his voice. She stared into his eyes and saw a caring side of him that probably only Usagi had ever seen before. Now more than ever the man before her both confused and fascinated her. Shaking her head she cleared off a nearby table and told him to lay Usagi on it. Reaching in her pocket she pulled out a first-aid capsule. "Let's get to work."
Gohan and Krillen placed the giant dragon balls in the correct order and watched as they started to glow. They had found Dende a few minutes ago and watched as he started to speak the ancient Namekian words. The sky grew pitch black and long streaks of lightning jumped from cloud to cloud. The ocean's waves became harsh as they crashed on the sides of cliffs. A howling wind picked up and drowned out all sound except for the ear- splitting thunder. A giant bolt of lightning struck the seven dragon balls and the giant dragon awakened from its slumber. (AN: *sigh* The wonders of description.)
POP! Vegeta just got done popping Usagi's left leg back in place when the sky became pitch black. "W-What's happening?!" Bulma screamed over the howling winds. Vegeta's eyes narrowed, "The dragon." He glared at Bulma, "Take care of her. If I find her dead then I will kill you understand?" He waited for her to nod before blasting off toward Freeza's abandoned ship.
Freeza's head shot up as the sky grew dark. In the distance he saw a giant dragon appear. "No, my wish!" With a burst of speed he headed toward the huge lizard.
Usagi was in a sea of black. The pain had stopped and had simply left her mind afloat. She felt as if she was sleeping on a cloud far above any coherent thoughts or worries. Something both could and warm touched her forehead. "Wake up Serenity." Groggily her conscious mind opened her eyes and stared back at a pair of light lavender ones. She scrambled up and fell into a fighting stance. "Who the hell are you?"
The woman's face fell in a frown. "I am going to have to have a talk with that Saiyajin Prince about teaching such language to children." Usagi's eyes narrowed, "Leave Uncle Veggie out of this. Now, who are you?" The woman's face became kind and loving again. "I am your mother." Usagi's mouth twitched into her Vegeta smirk. "Nice try lady, but my mom is on Earth and looks nothing like you." But there was something about this new woman that unnerved her. The lady looked exactly like her, only older and with lavender hair.
"I don't have much time Serenity, so listen. Don't be afraid when Pluto comes for you. She will come, and you must leave." That voice… she had heard it before. Suddenly everything started to fade. "No, wait!"
"Farewell my daughter."
Usagi became engulfed in a pale light. "Usagi, wake up! They need you!" A shrill voice broke through her stupor. "Wha? Bulma is that you?" she asked while sitting up. Her left leg was bandaged and very stiff. "You have to hurry Usa! I have a strong feeling that something is wrong. Please, you are the only one that can save them."
Usagi felt very weak but still cracked a smile. "Worried about Vegeta?" Bulma blushed and looked down. Usagi chuckled before standing up rather painfully. "Don't worry Bulma I won't say a word. But I think you should know that Veggie feels the same way about you." When Bulma looked up in surprise Usagi had already left.
Usagi had to fly slowly because her strength was almost at zero. She wasn't sure how much help she would be in her condition, but she still had to try. When she finally came to the battle she was horrified to find Vegeta being used as a personal punching bag. A creature that looked a lot like Freeza was beating Vegeta into a bloody pulp. The thing that troubled her most was Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillen were just watching it happen. Where's Dad?
"No Vegeta!" she yelled when he went down. Freeza was about to shoot a deadly blast but stopped when he heard her. She rushed to Vegeta's side and put her hands over his head. No! He can't die! I won't let him! Tears were streaming down her face as Vegeta was engulfed in silver light.
Freeza studied the girl. What was her name?...Oh yeah. He stepped forward and grabbed Usagi's arm, breaking her concentration, and ending the silver light. "Usagi, leave him. He is a traitor and deserves to die." Usagi glared at the alien with rage. "Murderers deserve to die too, so why don't we kill you while we're at it." Freeza smile evilly, "Such a civil tongue. I wouldn't expect anything less from Vegeta's pupil. I could use someone like you in my army. You could have everything you ever wanted. Gold, jewels, respect, millions of people bowing down at your feet, power, anything…"
"When Hell freezes over."
"I tell you what. If you come with me than I won't kill anymore of your friends." A moan sounded from behind her. She turned and saw Vegeta struggling to sit up. "Don't lis-ten to him Us-a." Freeza powered up another blast, "So what will it be Son Usagi?" She chewed her lip and glanced towards her brother and friends. When she looked at Vegeta's helpless form she gave in and nodded. When she started to walk towards Freeza he released the ki blast on Vegeta.
"No Vegeta!"
She lept in front of the beam just in time, but it went straight through her and into Vegeta. She landed on Vegeta's chest and the clutched each other in a hug for their last breaths. "Foolish girl." Usagi gave a weak smile, "I had t-to try." Together they closed their eyes and breathed their last breath.
An echo of a cry reached Usagi's ears, "No Usagi!" before all went black. Goku was just close enough to see his only daughter leap in the way of the blast. It never really sank in until Krillen, his best friend, died too. Then a deep rage filled him and he transformed into the legendary Super Saiyajin.
Part B
Vegeta's eyes snapped open and then closed quickly. He blasted the dirt from on top of him and climbed out of the six foot hole. After he took a few precious breaths of air he noticed that Usagi was still in his arms. When he looked closer he noticed that she wasn't breathing.
"Wake up!"
When she didn't respond he started to shake her. She still refused to breathe. Tears prickled in the back of his eyes as every attempt failed. When one tear finally fell and landed on her face she started to move. Her face scrunched up in pain or was it concentration? Then, as if she finally remembered how to breathe, her chest heaved and gulped in a giant breath of air. After a few more gulps she opened her sooty eyes and stared into a worried pair of coal black ones. She saw two streamers of tears streaking down Vegeta's dirty face. She sat up in his lap and studied him with a serious face.
"Vegeta-sama I need to say something. I have a feeling that this is going to be one of the last times I will have to talk to anyone—"
"What are you talking about?"
"Just listen for a minute," she said while looking him straight in the eye. "Uncle Veggie you have been the best "Uncle" anyone could ever ask for. I had to at least try to save you, because I care about you. You have been like a second father to me." Usagi had tears streaming down her cheeks as she reached up and hugged him around his neck. "I love you,…'tousan. No matter what I always will. Don't ever forget that."
Everything around them started to fade in and out. A cold wind washed over them before they found themselves in a forest with many Nameks. They were on Earth again. Usagi started to laugh softly as she squeezed Vegeta harder. She was finally home. She stepped back and looked at him again. The feeling of urgency washed through her entire body; a warning. "Veggie, please tell dad and Gohan that I love them, and that I'll miss them." Vegeta just looked at her strangely. She was talking like she was about to leave or something.
Bulma looked around at the hundreds of Nameks that were scattered in the forest. "I'm going to go and look for Usagi," Gohan announced from beside her. He walked off in a random direction searching for his blond- haired sister. Bulma turned around and almost melted at the scene before her. Usagi was sitting in a certain Saiyajin no Ouji's lap hugging him.
He is such a hunk! Some unknown inner voice shouted. Huh? No he's not! He's a jerk!...Ok well he's both… She sighed as she continued to watch the two. I swear, if I didn't know better I would've thought that Vegeta was Usa's father. A few moments later a giant portal opened up and Bulma did the only logical thing. She screamed.
Usagi felt Vegeta return her hug and smiled. She would never forget what it was like to hug him. A cold feeling streaked down her spine causing her to shiver violently. Vegeta pulled away, "Wha—" A scream brought both of their attention behind them. A giant black portal swirled a few yards away. Usagi gulped and grabbed onto Vegeta's leg. A woman with long green hair stepped out of the swirling abyss and stared Usagi right in the eye.
"Please Vegeta-sama don't let her take me." Vegeta heard and stepped in front of her shaking form. He crossed his arms and frowned while glaring at the woman. She didn't flinch like most people. "I have come for the princess. Not even you, Saiyajin no Ouji, will stop me."
He smirked, "We'll just see about that." Pluto flipped a small piece of hair out of her eyes before raising her staff. Usagi gripped Vegeta's boot even tighter. She knew what was going to happen next.
"Time Freeze!" And everything stopped. Pluto grabbed Usagi and once she was close enough to the portal unfroze time. Gohan, Bulma, Vegeta, and even some Nameks started forward to save the struggling girl.
"No! Vegeta hel—"
They could do nothing but watch as Usagi was swallowed up by the portal. No one spoke as eventually the fingertips of her outstretched hand disappeared. Shock and Silence. Vegeta's rage-filled scream echoed off the trees and disappeared into the night. She was gone. Usagi was gone…forever.
(AN: Should I leave it there?...*thinks* No I think you guys have had enough horrible cliffhangers for now. But for this favor you MUST review. And give me your vote.
Usagi lay on the misty floor of the Time Gate. Tears cascaded down her cheeks as she softly cried for her family. Pluto looked at the face of the young princess with regret. "Shh…young one. _neck. "es. air. g. rms. that was destroyYou are safe know." When the other woman moved to hug her she scooted out of reach.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!"
Pluto flinched at her tome but did as she was told. Usagi stood up and got into a fighting stance. "Take me back home," her voice was low. She glared with so much force that Setsuna took a step back. The time guardian stood up to her full height and prepared herself to disobey an order. "I can't do that Usagi. I was told to bring you to a new dimension."
"Why?"
"The fates have chosen you to be something great."
"I don't care! Screw the fates! Take me back! NOW!"
"Enough talk. I'm sending you to a new dimension with a new family."
"No! I already have a family! I want to stay with them. Take me back!"
Pluto sighed when she looked at the stubborn princess that had her arms crossed over her chest. "You don't have a choice. One day you will thank me for this."
"One day I will kick your ass for this," spat the stubborn princess in all seriousness. With that said a portal opened up beneath Usagi's feet. Usagi flew above it and glared at the surprised woman. For some odd reason she knew that there was no hope in getting back to her home. "Why me?"
"Because princess, you are the only one strong enough."
"That's not true! A bunch of people are stronger than me." Pluto looked amused before the small girl disappeared into another eerie portal. Silence once more reigned over the small space that existed between times and dimensions.
Remember you MUST review! Alright minna-chan I have to ask you to PPPPPPPLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEee answer this for me. It has to do with a project I'm doing for school so ppppllllleeeease either email or review with your answer. I have to have at least 50 people answer k?

Ch. 6 Part A
It had been a couple of months now and Usagi and Goku were still stuck in the hospital. Usagi was better and was free to leave whenever she wanted, but she waited on her father to get better. Goku was able to get up and walked around even though he wasn't supposed to.
Chichi was in the other room hanging up laundry while Usagi was telling her father about some of the new things that she had learned. Her tale of Freeza was interrupted by someone tapping on the window. Yajorobe was there and rudely shoved a bag of senzu beans into her hands.
The doctor nearly had another heart attack when Goku burst from his bandages after eating one. Nimbus came and the two Saiyajins headed toward the Briefs' residence. Soon afterward they were flying through space on a six-day trip to Namek.
Vegeta watched as Bulma chewed them out for leaving her. He was tempted to laugh as she tried to make him feel bad. Her eyes sparked with anger and he was fascinated. Get a grip on yourself Vegeta. Despite himself he found that he was falling for his blue-haired goddess. Just like Usa said. If that girl doesn't get here soon then I'm going to kill one of her friends.
But not Bulma some unknown voice said in his head.
Oh shut up!
"Are you listening to me?!" an ear-splitting voice pulled him from his thoughts. She had let the other two 'brats' go and now her attention was on him.
"No." That little word forced her left eye to start twitching. Smirking he walked straight up to her so that they were only about a foot apart. He grabbed hold of her arms and held them to her sides. Bending down he whispered in her ear, "And what are you going to do about it?" Vegeta watched her shiver and smirked. Bulma watched him step away and walk out of the Capsule house seemingly on top of the world.
"Ok Usa I want you to show me everything Vegeta taught you." She closed her eyes and locked her mind on her father's ki. A brilliant pale blue surrounded him. Smirking slightly she powered up and said, "Bring it on."
Goku was surprised at how much she had been taught in such a short amount of time. Her power level was around what Vegeta's was before they fought. He wasn't surprised to find her taking advantage of every possible weakness that he showed. She knew Vegeta's way of fighting; now it was time for her to learn his.
Usagi often compared her father to Vegeta and vise versa. They seemed so alike yet so different. She felt kind of annoyed that her father would always go easy on her. He had so much patience where Vegeta had none.
~*~*~*~*~Flash Back~*~*~*~*~*~
It was the first spar she ever had with her dad. She had fought until she collapsed from the energy drain. "Usa it was just a spar. You could have stopped if you felt dizzy or something."
"No Dad. That was the way I was taught. You can't just stop and take a break during a real battle. I was taught you give your all or nothing, anything else and it just isn't worth fighting for," she said remembering Vegeta's exact words.
~*~*~*~*~End Flash Back~*~*~*~*~
In those six days to Namek and the months before Usagi became really close to her father. They trained under 100x Earth's normal gravity and eventually reached a new level. Goku guessed that Usagi was now somewhere around Vegeta's power level, maybe a little less. She always kept up with him and never complained.
As the last few minutes approached they both waited anxiously. Usagi had a bad feeling that they were going to be cutting it close. The ship's door opened agonizingly slow. Sunlight streaked through the windows and soon flooded the ship in warmth. Goku grabbed a bag of senzu beans and strapped them to his belt. Visions of everyone flashed before Usagi's eyes.
"Dad, we have to hurry! They can't hold out much longer!" she yelled as they blasted off toward their friends. Usagi landed next to a badly beaten Vegeta and hugged him gently. "What's this? Another little brat?" a tall man with red hair said. Both Vegeta and Usagi ignored him. "Veggie, I told you to have fun! Now you almost get yourself killed…AGAIN!" He just rolled his eyes in response. "Where's Gohan and Krillen?"
"Look behind you." She turned and gasped, "Gohan!" Flying over to her brother's side she found him twitching. Goku came over and gave his son and Krillen a senzu bean. Usagi grabbed one and gave it to Vegeta. He immediately healed and looked her up and down, "You got stronger."
"Yep!" They started to make their way back over to the others when Usagi asked, "So did anything happen between you and Bulma?" Vegeta just smirked in remembrance and she giggled. "Veggie's got a girlfriend! Veggie's got a girlfriend!" He glared at her when she started to sing and dance around him. A nearby cliff exploded returning everyone's attention to the red- haired man from before. Usagi latched on to one of Vegeta's legs and looked at the three enemies. "They look funny," she whispered to Vegeta causing him to smirk.
Goku stepped up and defeated two of the aliens without even breaking a sweat. Everyone, save Usagi, just stared at him in shock. "Just what did you two do on the way over here?" Krillen asked in shock. "I'll tell you guys later. Right now I just want to leave. There are too many bad people on this planet." She was clinging to Vegeta's leg so he gave in and picked her up. She rested against his shoulder and was about to fall asleep when her father announced that he was going to find Captain Ginyu and get the dragon balls back. He told them that they should get some rest before blasting off. (AN: I know that that isn't the way it happened, but I didn't see that specific episode so bear with me k?)
Soon all four of the remaining Z-senshi blasted off for Freeza's abandoned ship. Usagi frowned and shifted in Vegeta's arms. "How can this armor be comfortable? I can't even sleep on it." Vegeta shrugged before smirking, "You should try it on."
"Nu-uh. No way! I am NOT walking around looking like one of Freeza's MEN." (AN: That could be taken two different ways. Heh heh…) He just chuckled amused. Vegeta took everyone into the ship gave them Saiyajin armor. The guys looked pleased and started to compliment the fit and how comfortable it was. Usagi on the other hand crossed her arms and glared at Vegeta stubbornly. He rammed the door shut and sat outside of it to make sure she didn't sneak out. He was about to dose off when Usagi meekly walked out clad in Saiyajin armor.
Now she looks more like a Saiyajin Princess. "This is too bulky. If you took off the shoulder pads and these little flaps then *maybe* I would wear it." She turned and marched back into the door before Vegeta could comment. After changing back into her regular clothing she plopped down in her mentor's lap and fell asleep. "Goodnight, little one." Closing his eyes he soon joined the girl in dreamland.
Gohan and Krillen were outside "watching the ship" as they were told. "Usagi is so much stronger now. I can't believe it, Krillen said while leaning against one of the ship's legs. "Yeah I know. I'm going to have to get Dad to train me too." As they continued to chat Captain Ginyu, in Goku's body, landed in the distance. "Look there's Goku!" Krillen exclaimed while jumping up. "He's back already?"
Vegeta shot awake when something in his arms started to shake. Looking sown he saw Usagi shaking while clutching him tighter. "This is bad Vegeta. This is very bad." Before he could ask her what in the hell she was talking about her eyes grew wide and she jumped up. He followed her as she raced out of the ship. She flew as fast as she could until she was in front of Krillen and Gohan. "Matte! That isn't Dad."
"What are you talking about Usagi? Of course that's Goku," Krillen said as he stepped passed her. Gohan looked at her in worry, "You had another vision didn't you?" She just nodded before shouting at Ginyu/Goku, "Ginyu! What did you do with my father?" The man chuckled and squatted down to her level.
"Well aren't we smart girl. You puny little father was no match for my power." It was her turn to chuckle, "My Dad could kick your ass with his eyes closed and his hands tied behind his back."
"Why you little—"
"I'm a little what? Princess? Aww you're so nice!" Ginyu/Goku lunged for her but a fist sent him flying into a strategically placed cliff. "You mess with her, you have to deal with me," Vegeta stated while glaring in his general direction.
"We have to stall him until Dad gets here." When Ginyu emerged from the rubble Usagi latched herself onto his shoulders. She placed her hands on both of sides of his head and started to glow. Ginyu collapsed onto his knees as she plowed through his mind. He heard all of the agonizing screams of his victims, and lived through the destruction of countless planets.
Ginyu, Freeza's reign is over. The Saiyajins are here to avenge the lives of millions. Witness your evil. Feel their pain. In answer to that comment Ginyu released an anguishing scream as he looked into the eyes of an innocent child that was destroyed in a great ball of light coming from him…
Vegeta watched as Usagi collapsed on the ground next to the body of her father. He bent down and scooped up her unconscious form. "What did she do to him?" Krillen asked while staring at the twitching a whimpering body of his best friend. After a few minutes Ginyu forced himself to stand. He glared at the small girl in Vegeta's arms.
Out of nowhere Goku, in Captain Ginyu's body, slowly floated to the ground. Usagi stirred and looked at the purple warrior, "Dad!" She turned to Vegeta and said, "He looks funny." She would have hopped out of Vegeta's arms if he hadn't of held her tighter.
"No, Kakarot wouldn't want you getting in the way." Usagi stopped and looked at her mentor with tears in her eyes.
"So I just get in the way?" Vegeta looked down at her in surprise. She broke free from his grasp and backed up while sniffling.
"Usa-chan I—"
"Usagi get out of the way!" She turned just in time to see Ginyu's (in Goku's body) hand grab her shirt. "It is payback time you little punk."
"No Usagi!"
"Let her go Ginyu!"
"My my such affection for this little brat. She'll be missed once I send her into the Next Dimension!" Vegeta, Gohan, and Goku started to lung forward but even they couldn't get there in time. Usagi watched as Ginyu raised his glowing hand for the deadly attack. In that split second a few images flashed before her eyes.
"She is no Saiyajin."
"She is a weakling…kill her."
"You are going to get hurt."
"..you should be grateful to me because I saved your life!"
"…mindless barbarians!"
"…wouldn't want you getting in the way."
Getting in the way…getting in the way… Usagi gritted her teeth and took the blast head on. Ginyu's laughter rang all around as a great roar of power engulfed her. The pain that streaked through her was nothing compared to the harsh comments that were echoing in her head. She was nothing but a failure…a failure.
Both Vegeta and Goku were blinded by the cloud of dust that arose. "There's no way anyone could have survived a blast like that from close range," Krillen's small voice rang through the silence that blanketed all of the fighters. Only Captain Ginyu's laughter was heard echoing off the cliffs.
When the smoke settled a huge crater appeared where Usagi once stood. Krillen, Gohan, Goku, and Vegeta all slowly peaked down into the crater. (AN: couldn't you just see Vegeta peeking? Hehe. Not like that you hentais! *clears throat* Putting on serious face again.) They had to know if she survived. She lay in the crater with a small silver glow still surrounding her. Blood streaked down the side of her mouth and her left leg was bent at a strange angle. Looking closer they saw that her unseeing eyes were staring up at the green sky. A wave of relief washed over them when they heard her moan.
"You bastard!" Gohan yelled while attacking Captain Ginyu. (AN: He's picking up some bad speech habits from his sister) He was hesitant before because he couldn't attack a man that looked like his father. No, his dad would never have hurt Usagi like that. Soon Krillen and Vegeta joined in the battle. Goku was still too weak to really do any real damage. He jumped down in the crater and headed toward his daughter.
Usagi felt nothing but pain. A dull painful throbbing cam from her left leg as well as her back. Her lungs labored to draw in precious air as she fought with the pain of her broken ribs. She had to survive. If she died then she would forever stay a failure in the eyes of her family. She had to live so she could make things right. Her vision cleared for a split second and she stared into the teary eyes of her father. Then all went black.
Goku had managed to get his body back and in the process transport Captain Ginyu's mind into a frog. No one felt like celebrating as Goku lost consciousness and Vegeta appeared with a half dead Usagi in his arms. There was only room for one person in the rejuvenation tank and since it only really worked with full-blooded Saiyajins they put Goku in it. Between Krillen, Gohan, and Vegeta they had nearly beaten Goku's body to death in all of their rage. While Goku was healing, the three people were left staring at Usagi's unconscious form.
"We have to help her. There must be something we can do," Gohan said while looking at his companions. "Bulma! I bet she could heal her," Krillen said a few minutes later. Vegeta picked Usagi up with gentle hands. "I'm taking her." Gohan and Krillen were about to complain when he snapped, "I can fly faster than both of you." Before another word could be said he blasted off in a trail of blue light. Krillen turned to Gohan, "Now's our chance. We can wish upon the dragon without having Vegeta interfere."
Vegeta tightened his grip on the small child in his arms. He didn't want to accidentally drop her while he was flying at top speed. His special sense located Bulma in no time. Usa-chan better be alright. He looked down at her and almost grimaced at the pain he saw lining her face.
He descended between a small crack between two cliffs. His blue- haired goddess was peacefully sleeping on a lawn chair. While balancing Usagi in one arm he roughly shook Bulma awake. Any other time he would have been gentler but this was an exception. Her blue eyes opened and widened in fear. "Vegeta, what in the hell are you doing here?" she exclaimed while jumping up from her seat. Then she noticed Usagi curled up in his arms. "What happened to her?"
"There is no time to explain. Can you heal her?" Bulma looked up in shock when she heard the pleading fear-stricken tome in his voice. She stared into his eyes and saw a caring side of him that probably only Usagi had ever seen before. Now more than ever the man before her both confused and fascinated her. Shaking her head she cleared off a nearby table and told him to lay Usagi on it. Reaching in her pocket she pulled out a first-aid capsule. "Let's get to work."
Gohan and Krillen placed the giant dragon balls in the correct order and watched as they started to glow. They had found Dende a few minutes ago and watched as he started to speak the ancient Namekian words. The sky grew pitch black and long streaks of lightning jumped from cloud to cloud. The ocean's waves became harsh as they crashed on the sides of cliffs. A howling wind picked up and drowned out all sound except for the ear- splitting thunder. A giant bolt of lightning struck the seven dragon balls and the giant dragon awakened from its slumber. (AN: *sigh* The wonders of description.)
POP! Vegeta just got done popping Usagi's left leg back in place when the sky became pitch black. "W-What's happening?!" Bulma screamed over the howling winds. Vegeta's eyes narrowed, "The dragon." He glared at Bulma, "Take care of her. If I find her dead then I will kill you understand?" He waited for her to nod before blasting off toward Freeza's abandoned ship.
Freeza's head shot up as the sky grew dark. In the distance he saw a giant dragon appear. "No, my wish!" With a burst of speed he headed toward the huge lizard.
Usagi was in a sea of black. The pain had stopped and had simply left her mind afloat. She felt as if she was sleeping on a cloud far above any coherent thoughts or worries. Something both could and warm touched her forehead. "Wake up Serenity." Groggily her conscious mind opened her eyes and stared back at a pair of light lavender ones. She scrambled up and fell into a fighting stance. "Who the hell are you?"
The woman's face fell in a frown. "I am going to have to have a talk with that Saiyajin Prince about teaching such language to children." Usagi's eyes narrowed, "Leave Uncle Veggie out of this. Now, who are you?" The woman's face became kind and loving again. "I am your mother." Usagi's mouth twitched into her Vegeta smirk. "Nice try lady, but my mom is on Earth and looks nothing like you." But there was something about this new woman that unnerved her. The lady looked exactly like her, only older and with lavender hair.
"I don't have much time Serenity, so listen. Don't be afraid when Pluto comes for you. She will come, and you must leave." That voice… she had heard it before. Suddenly everything started to fade. "No, wait!"
"Farewell my daughter."
Usagi became engulfed in a pale light. "Usagi, wake up! They need you!" A shrill voice broke through her stupor. "Wha? Bulma is that you?" she asked while sitting up. Her left leg was bandaged and very stiff. "You have to hurry Usa! I have a strong feeling that something is wrong. Please, you are the only one that can save them."
Usagi felt very weak but still cracked a smile. "Worried about Vegeta?" Bulma blushed and looked down. Usagi chuckled before standing up rather painfully. "Don't worry Bulma I won't say a word. But I think you should know that Veggie feels the same way about you." When Bulma looked up in surprise Usagi had already left.
Usagi had to fly slowly because her strength was almost at zero. She wasn't sure how much help she would be in her condition, but she still had to try. When she finally came to the battle she was horrified to find Vegeta being used as a personal punching bag. A creature that looked a lot like Freeza was beating Vegeta into a bloody pulp. The thing that troubled her most was Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillen were just watching it happen. Where's Dad?
"No Vegeta!" she yelled when he went down. Freeza was about to shoot a deadly blast but stopped when he heard her. She rushed to Vegeta's side and put her hands over his head. No! He can't die! I won't let him! Tears were streaming down her face as Vegeta was engulfed in silver light.
Freeza studied the girl. What was her name?...Oh yeah. He stepped forward and grabbed Usagi's arm, breaking her concentration, and ending the silver light. "Usagi, leave him. He is a traitor and deserves to die." Usagi glared at the alien with rage. "Murderers deserve to die too, so why don't we kill you while we're at it." Freeza smile evilly, "Such a civil tongue. I wouldn't expect anything less from Vegeta's pupil. I could use someone like you in my army. You could have everything you ever wanted. Gold, jewels, respect, millions of people bowing down at your feet, power, anything…"
"When Hell freezes over."
"I tell you what. If you come with me than I won't kill anymore of your friends." A moan sounded from behind her. She turned and saw Vegeta struggling to sit up. "Don't lis-ten to him Us-a." Freeza powered up another blast, "So what will it be Son Usagi?" She chewed her lip and glanced towards her brother and friends. When she looked at Vegeta's helpless form she gave in and nodded. When she started to walk towards Freeza he released the ki blast on Vegeta.
"No Vegeta!"
She lept in front of the beam just in time, but it went straight through her and into Vegeta. She landed on Vegeta's chest and the clutched each other in a hug for their last breaths. "Foolish girl." Usagi gave a weak smile, "I had t-to try." Together they closed their eyes and breathed their last breath.
An echo of a cry reached Usagi's ears, "No Usagi!" before all went black. Goku was just close enough to see his only daughter leap in the way of the blast. It never really sank in until Krillen, his best friend, died too. Then a deep rage filled him and he transformed into the legendary Super Saiyajin.
Part B
Vegeta's eyes snapped open and then closed quickly. He blasted the dirt from on top of him and climbed out of the six foot hole. After he took a few precious breaths of air he noticed that Usagi was still in his arms. When he looked closer he noticed that she wasn't breathing.
"Wake up!"
When she didn't respond he started to shake her. She still refused to breathe. Tears prickled in the back of his eyes as every attempt failed. When one tear finally fell and landed on her face she started to move. Her face scrunched up in pain or was it concentration? Then, as if she finally remembered how to breathe, her chest heaved and gulped in a giant breath of air. After a few more gulps she opened her sooty eyes and stared into a worried pair of coal black ones. She saw two streamers of tears streaking down Vegeta's dirty face. She sat up in his lap and studied him with a serious face.
"Vegeta-sama I need to say something. I have a feeling that this is going to be one of the last times I will have to talk to anyone—"
"What are you talking about?"
"Just listen for a minute," she said while looking him straight in the eye. "Uncle Veggie you have been the best "Uncle" anyone could ever ask for. I had to at least try to save you, because I care about you. You have been like a second father to me." Usagi had tears streaming down her cheeks as she reached up and hugged him around his neck. "I love you,…'tousan. No matter what I always will. Don't ever forget that."
Everything around them started to fade in and out. A cold wind washed over them before they found themselves in a forest with many Nameks. They were on Earth again. Usagi started to laugh softly as she squeezed Vegeta harder. She was finally home. She stepped back and looked at him again. The feeling of urgency washed through her entire body; a warning. "Veggie, please tell dad and Gohan that I love them, and that I'll miss them." Vegeta just looked at her strangely. She was talking like she was about to leave or something.
Bulma looked around at the hundreds of Nameks that were scattered in the forest. "I'm going to go and look for Usagi," Gohan announced from beside her. He walked off in a random direction searching for his blond- haired sister. Bulma turned around and almost melted at the scene before her. Usagi was sitting in a certain Saiyajin no Ouji's lap hugging him.
He is such a hunk! Some unknown inner voice shouted. Huh? No he's not! He's a jerk!...Ok well he's both… She sighed as she continued to watch the two. I swear, if I didn't know better I would've thought that Vegeta was Usa's father. A few moments later a giant portal opened up and Bulma did the only logical thing. She screamed.
Usagi felt Vegeta return her hug and smiled. She would never forget what it was like to hug him. A cold feeling streaked down her spine causing her to shiver violently. Vegeta pulled away, "Wha—" A scream brought both of their attention behind them. A giant black portal swirled a few yards away. Usagi gulped and grabbed onto Vegeta's leg. A woman with long green hair stepped out of the swirling abyss and stared Usagi right in the eye.
"Please Vegeta-sama don't let her take me." Vegeta heard and stepped in front of her shaking form. He crossed his arms and frowned while glaring at the woman. She didn't flinch like most people. "I have come for the princess. Not even you, Saiyajin no Ouji, will stop me."
He smirked, "We'll just see about that." Pluto flipped a small piece of hair out of her eyes before raising her staff. Usagi gripped Vegeta's boot even tighter. She knew what was going to happen next.
"Time Freeze!" And everything stopped. Pluto grabbed Usagi and once she was close enough to the portal unfroze time. Gohan, Bulma, Vegeta, and even some Nameks started forward to save the struggling girl.
"No! Vegeta hel—"
They could do nothing but watch as Usagi was swallowed up by the portal. No one spoke as eventually the fingertips of her outstretched hand disappeared. Shock and Silence. Vegeta's rage-filled scream echoed off the trees and disappeared into the night. She was gone. Usagi was gone…forever.
(AN: Should I leave it there?...*thinks* No I think you guys have had enough horrible cliffhangers for now. But for this favor you MUST review. And give me your vote.
Usagi lay on the misty floor of the Time Gate. Tears cascaded down her cheeks as she softly cried for her family. Pluto looked at the face of the young princess with regret. "Shh…young one. _neck. "es. air. g. rms. that was destroyYou are safe know." When the other woman moved to hug her she scooted out of reach.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!"
Pluto flinched at her tome but did as she was told. Usagi stood up and got into a fighting stance. "Take me back home," her voice was low. She glared with so much force that Setsuna took a step back. The time guardian stood up to her full height and prepared herself to disobey an order. "I can't do that Usagi. I was told to bring you to a new dimension."
"Why?"
"The fates have chosen you to be something great."
"I don't care! Screw the fates! Take me back! NOW!"
"Enough talk. I'm sending you to a new dimension with a new family."
"No! I already have a family! I want to stay with them. Take me back!"
Pluto sighed when she looked at the stubborn princess that had her arms crossed over her chest. "You don't have a choice. One day you will thank me for this."
"One day I will kick your ass for this," spat the stubborn princess in all seriousness. With that said a portal opened up beneath Usagi's feet. Usagi flew above it and glared at the surprised woman. For some odd reason she knew that there was no hope in getting back to her home. "Why me?"
"Because princess, you are the only one strong enough."
"That's not true! A bunch of people are stronger than me." Pluto looked amused before the small girl disappeared into another eerie portal. Silence once more reigned over the small space that existed between times and dimensions.
