Hello, and welcome back to Shadow of the Past. I hope that you

will like this chapter. Yadda yadda. I feel inclined to put the

standard disclaimer:

I don't own Sailor Moon (even though my friends tell me I act

like Sailor Jupiter), and I sure don't own Dragon Ball Z, even though

that would be a nice thought.

Then again, I don't think anyone on this site is going to think

that the original creaters are doing fanfics, but hey, it's possible!

Hm... wouldn't it be great if Naoko did a Sailor Moon fanfic,

one of those "what ifs"?

BTW, For those of you who haven't, I recomend you see Rush Hour

2! I think it's as good as or better than the first! The kicks are

awsome. And watch the chicken! Somebody saved a chicken!!! The

SCF, Save a Chicken Foundation, are very happy and are doing

cartwheels! As are the chickens.

Okay, gotta go. Have fun kids!

The Queen has spoken.

So it is written, so it shall be.

Ta ta!

Chapter 3: Jupiter Makes an Appearance

Lita yawned and stretched. She had spent 3 weeks here with her

Aunt, and had loved every minute of it. She missed Serena and everyone

of course, but she called them at least once every few days, so it

wasn't like they were totally out of reach. Lita had, despite her

homesickness, fallen in love with her new friends.

This particular day, Lita was spending the day with her family,

and her new friends relaxing. That is, Bulma, ChiChi, and Lita were

watching the guys show off, trying to see who could catch the biggest

fish with their bare hands. It had started when Goten and Chibi Trunks

pulled out a 5-foot carp out of the lake, and when everyone else joined

in, the fish's size quickly escalated. Goku had presently just pulled

out one roughly the size of a house. Everyone was just having a good

time, until a loud explosion startled them.

Goku, Vegita, Trunks, Gohan, Goten, Chibi Trunks, Yamcha, Tien,

Piccolo, and Chaozu all jumped out of the lake to meet the whatever had

caused the explosion.

The 'whatever' that had caused to the explosion, it turned out,

were four giant monsters. They were large and pitch black, and looked

as if they were made out of rubber. They had two arms, two legs, and a

head, but had a single eye in the middle of their forehead, and teeth

that looked as if they could shred metal.

"Youma's," whispered a dismayed Lita. Her emerald eyes were

sad, but their was a glint of... eagerness in their depths.

"Who are you and what do you want?" yelled Goku. "Do you come

in peace?"

The thing that was closest spoke. "We are the minions of the

Prince of Darkness. We are here to take over your miserable planet."

"I don't think so," said Piccolo, and suddenly the fight was

on. Goten and Chibi Trunks were the first to try their might against

creatures they had never before encountered. They launched themselves

at the monsters, and were knocked unconscious by the first one as it

let out a wave of negative energy. Goku and Vegita screamed in rage,

and attacked the creatures without mercy, and the rest of the guys

joined in the battle. All the energy that was fired brought up a cloud

of dust that obscured the vision of ChiChi, Bulma, and Lita.

When it finally settled, the girls gasped. The only people

still standing were Goku, Vegita, Trunks, and Gohan, and they didn't

look to good. The 4 youma's were all there and didn't have a scratch

on them.

"What?! Why aren't they affected by our attacks at all?" said

Vegita as Gohan and Trunks stopped the attack briefly, their breathing

a little labored. The Z fighters had never seen anything like this

before in their lives. Here was something that could either simply

absorb energy attacks, or make it bounce right off of them!

'I can't let them hurt anymore people,' thought Lita. 'Even if

it means showing my aunt and my new friends my powers, I have to do

something!' Just then, one of the youma's sent a ball of black energy

straight for Vegita. He stood their and sneered, having no idea at the

capabilities of that seemingly innocent ball. Lita ran and jumped,

managing to knock Vegita out of the way.

"Lita NO!" cried ChiChi. "You can't fight those things!

You'll be killed!"

"Don't worry," she said to ChiChi as she helped Vegita up.

"I'm sorry I cannot stand by while my friends get hurt, I have to do

something."

Vegita looked at her, and a little concern actually showed in

his eyes. "But you can't possible do anything to those things. You're

just a little girl."

Lita saw the concern, and smiled comfortingly as she set him

down and turned towards the four youma's. "You have hurt my family and

my friends, and now you have to pay," she said, deathly quiet.

"Haha, what can a little girl like you do to us?" one of them

asked her.

"You'd be surprised," she said as she smiled maniacally at

them.

To everyone watching, it seemed that Lita pulled a pen with a

sort of compact on it out of thin air. Nobody had any idea what the

little talisman could do. Lita held up her wand, and said 3 simple

words.

"Jupiter Star Power!" Strands of lighting lanced out from the

pen and encompassed Lita. It dissolved her tank top and jeans and

replaced it with a white body suit. On the chest and the back of her

formed two pink bows, and a green skirt. A tiara appeared with a green

jewel in the center, and a green choker with a star on appeared on her

neck. Lastly, the lightning formed white gloves and tall green boots.

Needless to say, everyone was just a little stunned.

Sailor Jupiter struck a pose. "You have hurt my friends, you

have hurt my family, and you have upset the balance of nature. I am

Sailor Jupiter, Senshi of thunder, lightning, and nature. I will not

let you do any more harm than you have already done. In the name of

Jupiter, I will punish you!"

The youma's looked slightly confused. Then the first one just

laughed again. "You are too small to do anything to us."

Sailor Jupiter said nothing, but smiled evilly. Without

warning, she launched herself in the air and landed right in front of

the four youma's. "Jupiter," she said and an antenna came up from her

tiara. "Thunder," she said and lightning began to crackle around her.

"Crash!" she yelled and threw the energy at the youma's.

The lightning struck them point blank, and the youma's screamed

in pain. When the dust settled, 3 of them were nothing but a bad

memory.

Everyone watching was awestruck. They couldn't believe what

they were seeing with there own eyes.

Sailor Jupiter eyed the fourth and last youma.

"Ha ha little girl. Magic has no effect on me, so you cannot

harm me," it cackled stupidly, believing itself to be invincible now.

Sailor Jupiter just looked at him calmly. "Very well," she

said, and then launched herself at it faster than anyone thought

possible. She leaped into the air, her arms pulled back, she willed

them to start gathering energy. They started to glow green and just as

she was about to crash into him she yelled, "Twin Dragon Fist Strike!"

and punched him with both hands. The force of it not only knocked him

off his feet, but knocked him into several pieces as well. The youma

uttered one last scream from its decapitated head, then hit the floor

and shattered into dust that the wind blew away to nowhere.

Sailor Jupiter dusted herself off, and went to help bring her

friends and family back to the house to mend. She mentally prepared to

answer all the inevitable questions that would come later.

**************************

Unknown to anyone, someone sat watching the whole scene unfold.

Jade smiled, 'I think we have finally found what my prince is looking for,'

he thought to himself. 'Still, it seems a shame that such a beautiful planet

will have to fall, but if my brother wills it, than it will be so.' Jade

teleported back to the ship to see his Prince.

When Damien finally was able to see Jade, he smiled. "I hope

for your sake brother mine, that you bring good news."

Jade kneeled briefly and then stood. "Yes my Prince, I carry

good news."

"Well then, out with it," he said as he started walking with

his brother down a long corridor. The affection between brothers was

apparent, even if at times Damien's legendary temper sometimes went off

with Jade bearing the brunt of it.

"I just sent 4 youma's down to the planet. I thought if

nothing else, we could take over and add Earth to our many planets.

But anyway, the youma's were met with humans of higher than normal

energy levels, who threw energy attacks at them but couldn't scratch

the youma's at all. Just as it seemed that the youma's would win this

battle, there was a flash of bright light. I looked away, and when I

looked back, there was a girl dressed in strange clothing. She looked

just like a Sailor Scout from the old stories of the Silver

Millennium."

Damien stopped in his tracks, and looked his brother in the

eye. "Jade, can you tell me what color she was wearing, and what power

she wielded?" he said earnestly.

"Yes, she wore the colors white and green, and wielded the

power of lightning."

Hope blossomed within Damien. "Can you tell me what she called

herself?"

"Why yes, as I moved closer, I heard her call herself Sailor

Jupiter. Why?"

"Because, my dear brother, my search is at long last over. I

have found who I have been looking for." He hugged his brother tightly.

It was turning out to be a beautiful day in the Solar System.
