Ch 10
"Setsuna." Vegeta turned at said woman as the others moved away.
"Hai, Vegeta no Ouji." Setsuna smirked as Vegeta's vein seemed to explode any second now.
"Take me back. There's something I need to pick up!" Vegeta barked.
"As you command, prince." Setsuna's grin widened, as again, she opened the portal right from underneath Vegeta.
"Damn onna!" Vegeta cursed as he moved to visit certain cat concerning some senzu beans.
~~~$@~~~$@
"Now where the hell is he?!?!" Serena tapped her boot on the hard floor.
"Maybe he wussed out." Haruka snickered as the Tsuki no hime waited impatiently for Vegeta, who hadn't appeared yet.
"Doubtful, he may be an ass but he isn't a coward." Hotaru shook her head.
"Well, it's nice to know that at least one of you think so." Vegeta snorted from behind them, making them jump startled from his sudden appearance while Setsuna walked behind him.
"What, that she thinks that you're an ass or that you aren't a coward?" Serena raised an eyebrow.
"I put up too much with you people." Vegeta said dryly.
"Aww, c'mon Veggi-chan, you know I'm joking!" Serena winked at him while the other four snickered.
"Whatever, here eat this." Vegeta threw a small bag to her.
"What's that?" Michiru asked curiously.
"A bean?" Haruka said doubtful.
"Just eat it and shut your mouth!" Vegeta snapped, his vein already showing on his forehead.
"Ok, but if I die from it, I'm coming to haunt you." Haruka popped a little bean into her mouth.
"So?" Michiru looked expectantly while the others watched Haruka closely.
"Hey, I feel great!" The wind senshi flexed her muscles.
"Baka onna." Vegeta snorted.
"Are we all ready?" Hotaru asked as all ate one of the beans.
"Ready as we'll ever be." Serena shrugged.
"Fine, let's go then." Setsuna said opening the portal.
~~~$@~~~$@
"So, what's the plan today?" Michiru asked.
"We'll separate, however, it will be just one of us this time." Serena answered as Setsuna nodded.
"We can cover more ground this way, not to mention that they will not be expecting to fight this early. We'll surround them for all sides and take them by surprise." Setsuna provided.
"That sounds pretty good and everything, but how are we gonna defeat Garlic Jr.?" Haruka raised her eyebrow.
"Vegeta and I will look for Garlic Jr.'s room and destroy his connection to the Makio star." Serena said.
"I don't like it, we are more vulnerable when we are separated." Hotaru shifted her weight to her other foot.
"I'm sorry, but it's already too late to be complaining." Serena sighed.
"I don't like it either, but if it's the only way then we'll do it." Michiru shrugged.
"Good luck people." Serena nodded as each one took a different passage of the new castle.
~~$@~~$@
"This is, by far, the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life." Vegeta mumbled under his breath after being lost for the last five minutes on the endless twists and turns of the castle. "I could be beating baka Kakarott right now instead of walking blindly on this god forsaken shit hole!" The vein on his forehead pulsed rapidly.
"Well, you wouldn't be 'walking blindly' if you just paid attention." A mocking voice said from behind him.
Faster than the human eye could register, Vegeta pointed to the direction to where the voice and blasted half the wall.
"Not bad, kinda off the target though." Vegeta saw as a small girl walked from the debris.
"It doesn't matter, I won't miss again, now who are you?! I hadn't seen you before." Vegeta pointed his hand towards her already forming another Ki blast.
"And I don't expect you to." The girl finally was out of the dust and into full view. Raising an eyebrow, Vegeta snorted at her looks. The girl was clad on a pink fuku, while on her hand she held a small wand and on her bow rested a small locket.
"Well, I don't know and I don't care, so be prepared to visit the next dimension." His Ki blast doubled in size.
"Hey, wait a second, I'm one of the good guys!" The girl yelled, almost panicking. "Setsuna sent me to help you find your way and to kill Garlic Jr."
"Oh really?" Vegeta raised his eyebrow mockingly while his attack kept getting bigger.
"Damn it, hold it! I can prove it!" She said as she began glowing silver.
Frowning, Vegeta stopped his attack as on the girl's forehead shined brightly a golden half moon while her fuku changed into a long white dress, her dark pink hair was bound on the most ridiculous two cone buns that even he didn't know how she had been able to sustain on that position and strangely reminded him of somebody.
"I am Serenity Usagi Tsukino, Chibi-Usa for short." The girl bowed in front of him before reverting into her fuku. "Damn! Sets is gonna kill me for this." She whispered under her breath, praying to all the deities that Vegeta wouldn't kill her right there and then.
~~~$@~~~$@
"God damned castle, and god damned corridors, they just have to be too freaking long!" Serena cursed. "And I just had to pick this door; it probably is a dead end." She continued forward. "If I ever get out of this I swear I'm gonna take a vacation on a large, wide open place!" She looked around at the dark and gloomy hall.
"That does sound good."
Serena turned around to look at the new voice, finding a young man wearing a pair of loose pants and a blue jacket over his muscled body (FD: *-* -drools- ahem…I mean, I wonder who that is? ^-^).
"Who are you, and what do you want?!" She asked, falling into a fighting stance.
"Don't worry; I'm not here to fight against you. Quite the contraire, I've come to help you find the way towards Garlic Jr.s' chambers." He smirked, reminding Serena of Vegeta.
"Is that so." Serena stood up, still not feeling comfortable looking at the boy's piercing clear blue eyes and arrogant smirk.
"Hai, Setsuna said to show you this if you didn't believe me." He pulled a small yellow key from his shirt.
"A time key?" Serena raised her eyebrow.
Nodding, he returned the small object to inside his jacket.
"Fine, I'll believe you…for now." Serena walked and stood in front of him until she was eye to eye with him. There was something eerily familiar to him, not only that he looked just like Vegeta, but there was a strange…feeling that she couldn't place inside the boy that unsettled her to no end. "Lead the way then." She finally said.
"Great, oh, and by the way, I'm Trunks." He bowed his head slightly before walking towards a hallway which she hadn't noticed until now.

Fire Dragon: Well, what do you think? You weren't expecting me to bring Chibi-Usa and Trunks on this fanfic now were you? ^-^. I have a perfect explanation to it…or so I want to believe, anyway, I think next chapter's gonna be the last chapter for the fic so I'll try to update as soon as possible. Until then, Ja ne.
