Ch 5
Vegeta walked up and down on the small room. *Today, today is D-day. * He repeated time and time again on his head. Tonight Pluto would come to take him from his room when he was still awake. He couldn't understand why she hadn't done that from when he discovered that the other place was reality too. He shrugged *Oh well, weird onna. * He had trained with Serena for almost a year now, and today was the day in which they would attack the 'shadow'. A black portal appeared on one of the walls opposite from where he stood.
Pluto stepped out with her staff on hand, giving her a menacing appearance. "It is time Prince Vegeta. We have to go now." She said in a dead voice. Vegeta only grunted and went into the portal, Pluto right behind him.
Inside the Time Gates was, as he knew it, foggy, dark, cold. Vegeta smirked, liked this place. This was the place where he had grown stronger, and where he had found his tenshi (although he would pound to death the idiot who would even try to mention that out loud.) Walking over the cold marble his feet took him to Serena.
"I'm glad you could make it Vegeta." She smiled. Besides her were another 3 woman in sailor fukus. Vegeta glared at them, Serena moved to his side and put a hand over his shoulder. "Prince Vegeta, may I introduce you to the only senshi who are still in our side." Serena walked to a tall woman with sandy blond hair cut in a boyish manner she was holding a sword. "Princess Haruka of Uranus, better know as Sailor Uranus, senshi of the winds and sky." Serena put a hand over her shoulder. Uranus dropped to one knee bowing to Serena and glared at Vegeta. Then Serena moved to a woman with long aqua hair holding a mirror. "Princess Michiru of Neptune, or Sailor Neptune, senshi of the seas and oceans." Neptune too dropped to one knee in front of Serena, bowing her head towards her. Serena walked to the last girl. A teenager around her 18's, with shoulder length black hair and wearing a purple fuku, holding a long glaive. "And this," She smiled softly to the last senshi. "This is princess Hotaru of Saturn, or the senshi of destruction and rebirth Sailor Saturn." Serena said putting her hand over Saturn's shoulder. Moving towards Pluto she looked at Vegeta. "This is Pluto as you already know, princess Setsuna from Pluto, the senshi of death and time." Setsuna kneeled in front of Serena. "Now that I have finished with the introductions, could you please stand up? I hate all this formality!" Serena said exasperated.
All the senshi stood up and Hotaru giggled. Serena glared at her. "Sorry Serenity-hime." Hotaru said softly.
"Ok people, this is Prince Vegeta of Vegeta-sei. He will be helping us fight." Serena addressed her senshi.
Haruka snorted and crossed her arms. "I don't see the use Koneko-chan, we won't need him. We can do it by ourselves." She said arrogantly.
"I'm not asking your permission Haruka." Serena snapped.
"Hmph, the question here, little girl, is if I need your help." Vegeta stepped closer to Uranus already powering up. Uranus fell into a fighting position preparing to pound Vegeta.
"Stop it, both of you!" Serena stepped between them. "We're here to fight against them, not each other." She said staring at Haruka.
"Very well then." Haruka said bowing her head and walking Neptune.
"And you!" Serena stared at Vegeta "Stop it!" Vegeta powered down to normal.
Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "What did I do?" He said in mock innocence. Serena rolled her eyes walking away from him.
"Now people, this is your last chance to back out form this mess. What do you say?" She walked to the outers.
"We live to serve you Serenity-hime." Neptune said taking Uranus' hand.
"Yeah koneko lets kick some enemies ass." Uranus smirked.
"We'll fight." Saturn's hand tightened her grip on her glaive looking determined.
"You know as well as I do that I will fight." Pluto said to Serena.
"Great," She turned to Vegeta. "What about you Vegeta, this is your last chance, you'll maybe won't come back alive." She said dead serious.
"Of course I'll go." Vegeta crossed his arms above his chest. "I wouldn't miss a good fight for the word, and anyway somebody has to go to save your sorry butt out of trouble, right? I wouldn't want anything to happen to you before you end you're part of the deal." He said arrogantly.
Serena only rolled her eyes in annoyance, and walked away. He smirked and followed her moves with his sight as inconspicuous as possible. However, the Outers saw the glint on his eyes. Giving themselves side-glances they smiled. This was just too easy; this guy gave himself away like a book. The only one with no clue was Serena herself.
Not noticing their little exchange that just occurred Serena walked to Setsuna. "Ok Setsuna, open the gate." Setsuna walked to the front of the group and tapped her staff on the floor three times. A black portal appeared in front of her.
"Everything is ready Serenity-hime, we can now go in now." She said standing aside to give way to Serena.
"Good, ok everybody this is it." Serena said while taking a step forwards being swallowed by the black whole.
