"Huh?" Goku looked surprised. "That was your attack?! How incredibly weak! Geeze, my grandfather could have done better that that!"
"Why you. . .!" Sailor Mars was furious.
Mercury tried her luck. "If fire is easy for you, try my attack on for size! Mercury. . . bubbles. . ."
"Bubbles???" Goku was entirely confused. As Sailor Mercury powered up for her attack, Goku sat down Indian style and rested his head on his hand, preparing for a long wait. Mercury crossed her arms in front of her and spun several times while her attack gathered strength.
"Blast!" Sailor Mercury threw her arms out to her sides, making herself look like a bird with its wings extended. Goku calmly stood up, turned, and took four steps away from the attack. The little blue spheres whizzed by Goku, only upsetting his hair and clothes.
"What?" Sailor Mercury's mouth dropped open.
"I don't believe it!" Sailor Mars clenched her fist in anger. "He dodged that attack like it was nothing!"
Mercury shouted at Goku, "Listen here, 'Go'- whatever you are, you wait until Sailor Moon gets you, you - monster!"
"That's the best you can do?" Goku taunted. "I still like that 'Pumpkin Man' nickname you came up with," Goku looked Mars in the eye and nodded to her. "Anyway, are we going to get to the real fighting, or not?"
"I don't know about you, girls, but I'm getting real tired of this guy," Sailor Moon told Mercury and Mars in a voice that was loud enough even for Vegeta to hear. "Okay, mister, it's time you felt the power of Sailor Moon!"
"Ahem, right. And, how long will this take? I already have an appointment, so, will you make it quick?" Goku crossed his arms in front of his chest, unimpressed.
Sailor Moon didn't hear him, so she began her transformation. "Moon Prism Power!" Sailor Moon held up the Moon Crystal, and became a prismatic silhouette. She maneuvered the crystal to the center of her chest as the white part of her dress appeared.
Goku was bored, and already sitting down. He sighed dramatically as he relaxed, resting his chin in his palm.
As Goku rested, Sailor Moon's boots and gloves materialized around her legs and arms. Her pleated skirt daintily wrapped itself around her waist as she posed in the middle of her transformation.
Goku's eyes started drooping.
Sailor Moon was still transforming. A crescent moon, laid on its side, appeared on her forehead and expanded into her tiara. She finally ended her transformation, as is custom among the Sailor Scouts, with a finishing pose.
"Okay, mister, I am Sailor Moon, protector of good! And, in the name of the moon, I will punish you!"
The only thing that responded to her speech was the sound of Goku, snoring in his sleep.
All three of the present Sailor Scouts were appalled. "Wha-?"
"I don't believe this either!" Sailor Mars exclaimed. "He fell asleep! That no good evil dog fell asleep during Serena's transformation!"
Sailor Moon was venting steam through her ears. "I've had enough of this!" she told her comrades. Then, she shouted at Goku, "Hey, Pumpkin Man Goku!"
Goku was startled out of his nap. Vegeta, too, had zoned out, but was brought back to earth at Sailor Moon's outburst.
"You want action? Well, here you go! Moon . . . Tiara . . ."
Sailor Moon removed her tiara and cocked her arm to throw it. "Magic!" she cried and let the tiara-turned-frisbee fly.
Goku, who wasn't fully awake, was still sitting on the floor. After yawning and stretching, Goku, sleepily, put his hand up and caught the tiara.
"Huh?!" Sailor Moon's jaw dropped open; the rest of the Sailor Scouts followed suit.
"He - he - he," Sailor Mercury stuttered, "he caught Sailor Moon's Magic Tiara!"
"Ya know, I would say that I was surprised, too," Goku said as he rose to his feet, "But, since you're all so unbelievably weak, I'm not."
"You barbarian!" Sailor Mars insulted.
"Hey," Goku gave her a stern look as he turned sideways, "I'm not the one who initiated this fight. You are the barbaric ones in my eyes."
Sailor Mars, Mercury, and Moon could only gawk in amazement.
Goku started to walk away. "I think we'll leave now, before anyone gets hurt."
"Hold on, Goku," Sailor Moon halted him in his tracks, "I have one more attack for you!"
Sighing, Goku turned around, still clutching the Moon tiara. "Fine, I'll wait."
Sailor Moon powered up. "Moon," she began, holding up a wand in her hand. Goku yawned. "Scepter," she drew a circle around her with the wand to indicate a full moon.
Goku had pulled out a paddle ball from nowhere and was bouncing the red rubber ball sideways on the wood.
"Elimination!" Sailor Moon finished with a giant sweep of her arm to throw the beam at Goku.
In response to this, Goku half-smiled at the sight of a familiar beam attack and quickly fired off an extremely small version of his Ka-me-ha-me-ha attack. Sailor Moon's Scepter Elimination didn't even stand a chance.
As the Ka-me-ha-me-ha neared Sailor Moon, she froze. No one had ever countered her attack before, and she was left paralyzed in awe.
"Oh Crap!" Goku noticed that he had used too much energy for Sailor Moon's beam to withstand against. "Move it!"
Sailor Mercury dove into Sailor Moon. "Duck!" she shouted as she knocked her aside.
Sailor Moon screamed just as the blast roared through the space where she had been just seconds before. There was a crashing sound as the weak Ka-me-ha-me-ha hit the wall behind her, then all was silent. It took the girls about a minute to recover from the shock.
"Are you okay?" Sailor Mercury managed to whisper to Sailor Moon.
Panting, Sailor Moon answered, "Yeah, I think so."
"You idiot!" Sailor Mars bellowed at Goku. "You could have killed her!"
"Oops!" Goku half-apologized. "Hey, it isn't my fault her attack was too weak to stand up to my beam."
"No," Mercury shouted back, "but it was you who made the attack that strong."
Sailor Mars looked at the wall where his beam had hit. There was a shallow, blackened crater in the wall about three feet in diameter.
Her eyes grew wide at the sight. and her mouth dropped open, "Holy cow! That was one powerful blast!"
Goku scratched the back of his head and smiled modestly, "So I used a little too much power for your tastes? No one was hurt, let's just go our separate ways and forget about it!" He seemed to just remember that he still held the tiara, and tossed it back, "I think this is yours, Sailor Moon. Now, I have to go. You girls had your chance, but now I need to leave."
Goku turned and left. To the Sailor Scouts, his parting "Let's go" was aimed at no one, but Vegeta knew who he was talking to, and quietly followed Goku out a side passage.
"Holy cow, that guy is strong!" Mars commented once more. "Are you sure you're all right, Sailor Moon?"
Sailor Moon sat up next to Sailor Mercury before answering, "Yeah, I'm okay, thanks to you, Mercury."
Sailor Mercury smiled and placed her hand on Sailor Moon's shoulder, "No problem."
Mars knelt down by her friends, "C'mon, let's tell Luna about this guy and see what she thinks of him."
