*sigh* Because I will be having jaw surgery on the twelfth, I had to go and give a unit of blood today. Unfortunately, I got very upset, had a panic attack, got dizzy, and threw up...twice. (Like ya'll wanted to know that) Anyway, while this was happening, my blood decided to stop coming when the bag was 3/4 full. So they had to throw out the entire thing, meaning either I have to go back, or one of my parents has to give for me, which means we'll all have to go and find out what are "types" are.
Anyway, I thought I'd try to relax and type some of this up. Thanks so much for all the reviews! I need to check them again, but FF.net is too busy right now and won't come up. *growls angrily, the yawns like a sleepy kitten.* I better get some of this done before I fall asleep.
I do not own anything, but if Vegeta ever goes up for sale, then I am so there, baby! He'd make the perfect addition to my harem...
Bring on the Rain
Chapter One
____________________________________________________________________
A light shot across the sky, crossing over the Black Forrest, passing Capsule Corporation, and zipping past Satan City. The light began to slow, and landed with a bright flash inside a section of wooded area far away from any form of civilization.
Usagi began to laugh, rolling onto her back in the warm grass and finally feeling the sun once more on her face. She took a deep breath of fresh, pure air and listened to the sounds of birds chirping with joy.
Free.
She was free again.
Yes, she'd used a lot of power. And the will to survive, to not let her enemies have the satisfaction of killing her, was forgotten. Her wounds were...horrible, and many had reopened. She would probably die in a day or two.
But she was free.
Usagi giggled to herself and picked a flower that was near her. She held it up to her nose a moment, then weakly dropped her hand.
She would gladly let herself die now, free.
At least then she could get some rest.
____________________________________________________________________
Though he should have been concentrating solely on Babidi and the growing threat of Majin Buu, Shin's mind was on something else: The last time he had battled with a Buu.
It had been exceedingly difficult to defeat Bibidy and his creation, and it had cost the lives of Shin's fellow Kais and dearest friends...
(Flashback)
Shin, youngest of the four Supreme Kais by a few hundred years, watched the power levels apprehensively; worried that he'd miss his chance to stop Bibidy.
A large hand clapped his shoulder, startling him.
Shin spun around to see the laughing, carefree Koun. Koun was a native from the planet Scia; some thirteen light years away from Shin's own home planet. Koun was a very large man, even for his race. He had light blue skin, large ears, and ocean colored eyes. As did all the people from Scia, he had four eyebrows. Set between them int he middle of his forehead was a sparkling jewel, and over the eyebrows was a set of long antennae. He also had a pair of large gray wings and a fluffy tail.
:Why so worried, kid?: His voice asked in Shin's head. Having no mouth, Sciatons had developed a strong telepathy so that they could communicate. Shin noticed that the hood of the traditional Sciaton cape was down, revealing the older kai's wavy green hair. Koun smiled down at his young friend with his very expressive eyes.
:You aren't worried about the Buus, are you?: He asked teasingly.
Someone grabbed Shin from behind and pounded a noogie into his head. "Ah Shin, you'll see, that ole Bibidy will be nothin in no time!" A hearty female voice said.
The voice belonged to Mayoke, a girl from the game-and-war planet Olypamazion. Coming from a race that cared more for sports and for perfecting the art of war than anything else, she was almost as tall as Koun, and had twice the muscles. Her one eye was a gorgeous purple that made her ebony skin glow. Waves of midnight colored hair cascaded down her back to pool on the floor.
Shin laughed a little, lightening up. But being the youngest, and the shortest, of the group never failed to make him more apprehensive.
The last member of the group, Tentai, chuckled a little from his position sitting in one of the windows of the Kai palace.
Tentai was from a small moon orbiting the still-infant planet named Earth. (You knew it was comin, didn't you?) He had pale, star-colored skin, unbelievable crystal-blue eyes, and hair like pure spun gold. On his forehead glittered a small crescent, the symbol of his home.
He was perhaps the kindest and most pure hearted of the four supreme Kais, and also the only one to have a family. A Kai wasn't immortal, but extremely long-lived. It just wasn't worth it to marry someone you'd have to watch age and die within only a couple years.
Of course, Tentai had married a Megami, so he didn't really have to worry about watching his loved ones leave him until they'd had a very long time together.
"wee friends, when do we plan to move?" He asked in his deep yet gentle, music-like voice. "Bibidy isn't going to wait long between planets."
"You want to go now?" Mayoke asked in shock. Tentai was a known pacifist. His home planet hadn't been to war in a millennia.
"Yes." He answered, voice hard. "I can never forgive that monster for the lives he's destroyed." His eyes darkened. "Besides, Earth is his next target, and that's a little too close to my home, where I left my wife...she's pregnant you know. Anyway, Earth isn't a part of the silver alliance, but I still feel obligated to protect it. Maybe one day it will be useful to us."
"Right on!" Mayoke agreed, grinning ferally.
Koun's silent laughter echoed in all their heads.
(End flashback)
Shin closed his eyes in silent pain. His three friends, once so happy and full of life, gone. Kibito was gone now, too. So many wonderful people had been destroyed.
"You all right, supreme Kai?" Gohan asked, giving him a glance as he flew beside him.
"Yes, I'm fine." Shin opened his eyes and smiled at the young hybrid beside him. Gohan was yet another kind, innocent person pulled into this ancient fight. Shin vowed silently that Babidi would *not* have this world.
"How long do you think it will be before we reach Buu's ball?"
"Soon. We're close to the final level now."
Gohan frowned. "I hope my dad's ok." He mumbled. "Vegeta's got a lot of pent up anger, and he's held every one of his defeats against dad." A sudden smile broke out onto his face. "I guess it's good that he's already dead!" He said cheerfully.
____________________________________________________________________
Usagi's eyes snapped open and she awoke from the longest sleep she'd had in years. Ok, so it was half sleep, half unconsciousness, but rest was rest! Usagi frowned to herself, wondering what had wakened her up, but then she sensed it again.
Power.
A lot of power, and all of it spread out in different places. That meant, of course, fighting. She was about to ignore it and go back to "sleep" when she realized that a lot of the power was pure evil. There were two packets of less threatening evil, and a third that was just enormous.
There was a fourth power that she found disturbing, but this one wasn't evil, just filled with rage.
This one appeared to be fighting with someone who had unbelievably pure energy. Then suddenly, the pure energy level dropped significantly, and the angry one began to move away.
Now giving the fact that she'd been tortured for five excruciating years, Usagi was not in the mood to just ignore evil like she was feeling at his moment.
She painfully sat up.
"I'm not dead yet." She observed quietly, surprising herself. Her voice, so long out of use, sounded strange in her years. She looked down at her arms and legs, lacerated with scars that would never go away. " But I won't need to look good in a bathing suit when I'm dead, anyway." She told herself, giving a laugh of tired amusement. " I think that pure power needs my help...and someone just died..."
Usagi suddenly felt something rise up within her.
Her power. The power Zeke had unintentionally given her.
Would it be all right for her to use it? Or would it turn her into a monster like Sabine and Mal had been? There was only one way to find out.
Usagi closed her eyes, searching inside her. The power didn't appear to be dark, and it even seemed that she would be able to control it. It also looked like, once she called on the power, she wouldn't be able to stop it until she was completely overtaken by it. Only after whatever transformation would come was completely finished would she be able to power down.
Taking a deep breath, Usagi reached down to the power and yanked it up to her.
For a moment nothing seemed to have happened. Suddenly Usagi began to scream as a pain worse than any she had ever faced began to come from her back as her skin literally ripped apart. Her eyes flashed, becoming a glowing, pupiless silver. In one fluid motion her hair went to silver and her scarred skin became perfectly soft and the color of starlight. She felt a familiar burning sensation as her crescent mark appeared on her forehead, blazing gold, and on either side of it formed a tiny silver star.
As the pain in her back began to cede, Usagi looked down at herself. She was wearing a white, bathingsuit-type bodysuit with a Chinese style collar and silver trim. The sleeves of the body suit went all the way down her arm and then attached, through a loop in the fabric, around one of her fingers.
On her feet were a pair or comfortable, white slipper-shoes, with silver lacings that tied all the way up to her thigh.
Then she noticed the most crucial part, and the reason for her pain during the transformation.
Wings.
She had a pair of honest-to-goodness, fluffy white wings. These weren't like the little dinky things she had while in her eternal form, these were real, working wings.
Usagi quickly scanned her mind to see if the transformation had tainted her mind. She found nothing about that, although she did realize that she knew every technique and attack, every ability this transformation had to offer. She experimentally opened her wings and, on the first try, took off into the air. She was soon flying toward the area where she'd sensed the pure power level fall. It took her a moment when she landed, but she finally spotted a tall, dark haired man in orange training gis sprawled across the ground.
There was a gold ring over his head, which meant that he was from Otherworld. What he was doing on Earth was a mystery, but Usagi knew that there had to be some explanation.
She kneeled near him and carefully turned him onto his back. A wry grin spread across her face.
"You look worse than I probably do!" She mumbled in only half amusement. "That must have been some fight for you to be this bad off! Well, I can't heal you, because you're already dead. Hope you don't mind." She gave half a laugh and stood back up. "I'll be dead soon, too. Maybe we can hang out in Otherworld."
She turned and walked away a little before spreading her wings and taking off into the sky, flying towards the other scorces of power. Whoever that evil was, they sure were going to be sorry they were the badguys today!
_____________________________________________________________________
Pain.
Lots and lots of pain.
But it sure had been a good fight.
Goku knew he was unconscious, sorta. He kept drifting back and forth between awake and complete darkness. Nevertheless, he would have smiled, if he'd had the strength.
Got me good this time, Vegeta. Goku thought to himself with a bit of humor. He wasn't all that angry over being tricked, not yet anyway. The thrill of the fight kept that from happening. He hadn't had such a good fight in so long!
Aw man...he thought in disappointment as he felt himself begin to black out again. Although he was too tired to so much as open his eyes, he was brought back to consciousness when he felt himself being gently turned onto his back.
"You look worse than I probably do!" A soft, quiet feminine voice muttered with a bitter laugh. "That must have been some fight for you to be this bad off. Well, I can't heal you, because you're already dead. Hope you don't mind." Another small laugh. "I'll be dead soon, too. Maybe we can hang out in Otherworld."
Goku wanted to tell her that that would be great, but he couldn't get the words to form. Somehow though, he did manage to open his eyes a little, although all he saw was a flash of silver and what he could swear were wings. Oddly enough, he could sense no ki.
As he drifted back to unconsciousness, Goku dismissed it all as a dream or a hallucination.
_____________________________________________________________________
Vegeta narrowed his eyes at the disgusting blob in front of him. Off to the side the Supreme Kai was facedown in the dirt, unconscious or dead. His back was probably broken, at the least.
For a moment Vegeta felt something tugging on his mind, trying to get him to stop the attack he was about to launch on Majin Buu. He ignored Babidi's pitiful attempts, having long since broken his control.
Had Babidi known the real reason Vegeta had allowed him into his mind, he probably would have done better at keeping the saiyan prince under his thumb. Unfortunately for him, the real reason was buried deep inside said prince's furious heart.
The cause for Vegeta's rage was not his numerous defeats at the hands of Goku. It wasn't his stubborn pride seeking to avenge itself for its many years under Frieza, either.
The real reason was much more simple.
And surprising.
About two years after Trunks was born, Bulma broke off her relationship with Vegeta. Although some humans mated for life, the numbers that didn't were growing fast and thus the blue haired genius hadn't thought much about it.
What Bulma hadn't known was that Saiyans, the great warrior race of the galaxy, did mate for life, no exceptions. Once a warrior pledged himself to his female, even if he never said anything at all about love, they were pledged for life. Saiyans had no need to say "I love you," they knew that if they were even together int he first place that is was love.
After the breakup the only thing that had kelp Vegeta from destroying the world was that it would kill his son.
Saiyans were also fanatically protective of their offspring, although none would easily admit it. Truthfully, Vegeta had even demonstrated this in his treatment of Mirai Trunks. What everyone else had seen as spite and disrespect, as actually Vegeta treating his son the way he would any other saiyan.
And everyone had seen Vegeta's reaction when Mirai Trunks had been killed by Cell.
So Vegeta didn't destroy the planet, although he planned to once Chibi Trunks was old enough to take care of himself in a space ship. The main reason he stuck around CC, however, was because he thought that Bulma would eventually come back to him. Sometimes humans could be like Saiyans, why not this time?
For the rest of the seven years after Cell's defeat Vegeta had trained, and waited for his mate to come back to him.
Until one day she announced that she was engaged to Yamcha.
Once again Chibi Trunks was the only thing that kept Vegeta from destoying the world. That, and the promise of the World Martial Arts Tournament, where he could work out all his anger in a match against Goku.
Well, obviously that hadn't worked out as well as planned. He'd still had his fight with Goku, but a part of him was ashamed that it wasn't all his power he'd used to defeat him. He was also pretty upset that he'd had to resort to trickery to win.
And now that is was all over, now that he'd finally won, he felt disappointed. Now what was there for him to live for? He had no mate, his brat was stronger than Goku's, and he'd finally defeated the low-class fool who had tormented him for so long.
Buu would pay for all that.
The end of his dreams, what little dreams they were.
And then Vegeta would let himself die. There was just something disgraceful about a saiyan who couldn't keep his mate. A feral growl came from Vegeta's throat as he prepared to launch another attack on Buu. It was his turn to do something heroic, dammit.
"You picked the wrong day to be evil, buddy." A soft, female voice filled with hate said. Vegeta sent out his senses, but couldn't detect any ki. At first he thought that she was talking to him. He had, in a sense, picked this day to be evil again.
But when he finally spotted the source of the voice he found that she wasn't looking at him, but at Majin Buu and Babidi. With a flap of powerful looking wings she came down from the sky and landed off to the side of the battle.
The strange girl had porcelain smooth, milky white skin and wore a white bodysuit with a Chinese style collar and long sleeves. Long, silver hair cascaded down her back nearly to her feet and glowing, pupiless silver eyes set off her heart-shaped face. A golden crescent, a star on either side, blazed from her forehead.
A sneer found its way onto her perfect, rose-colored lips.
"Well, do you want to say anything, or should we just get on with this now?" She asked without raising her voice. It was almost hard to hear her.
____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________
To be continued
Well, what do you think? Should I continue this? Let me know!
(BTW, Usagi talks softly because she isn't used to talking.)
*sigh* Because I will be having jaw surgery on the twelfth, I had to go and give a unit of blood today. Unfortunately, I got very upset, had a panic attack, got dizzy, and threw up...twice. (Like ya'll wanted to know that) Anyway, while this was happening, my blood decided to stop coming when the bag was 3/4 full.

"You picked the wrong day to be evil, buddy." A soft, female voice filled with hate said. Vegeta sent out his senses, but couldn't detect any ki. At first he thought that she was talking to him. He had, in a sense, picked this day to be evil again.
But when he finally spotted the source of the voice he found that she wasn't looking at him, but at Majin Buu and Babidi. With a flap of powerful looking wings she came down from the sky and landed off to the side of the battle.
The strange girl had porcelain smooth, milky white skin and wore a white bodysuit with a Chinese style collar and long sleeves. Long, silver hair cascaded down her back nearly to her feet and glowing, pupiless silver eyes set off her heart-shaped face. A golden crescent, a star on either side, blazed from her forehead.
A sneer found its way onto her perfect, rose-colored lips.
"Well, do you want to say anything, or should we just get on with this now?" She asked without raising her voice. It was almost hard to hear her.

Well, what do you think? Should I continue this? Let me know!
