This story begins AFTER Buu AFTER Chaos is defeated (scouts and Mamoru
brought back to life)... Rini and Outer Senshi appear later.
I'm sticking with the American dub okay? I just like the Japanese names better so that's the only Japanese stuff I'm putting up. I don't own any characters except Evian and Nina. The new .hackdusk characters are pretty OOC I think seeing as I haven't seen/played the movie/show/or game yet...only a bit of .hacksign. (Real sorry I didn't add Ouka! I didn't feel like it peoplezzz!)

(...) Author's Note
Usagi saw five odd-looking people run around the street in confusion so she signaled everyone to follow her over.
"Balmung! Where are we?" The four younger ones cried in confusion and began asking different questions at once.
"I don't know! This isn't 'The World' anymore! We aren't even programs right now! This is really us only in these outfits and this style!" He screamed.
"Can I help you?" Usagi asked as she walked up to them. They stared at her in confusion, "I'm Usagi, I think I can answer some of your questions! This here is Mirai Trunks, Chibi Trunks, Gohan, Hotaru, Goten, Videl, Evian, Bulma, and Chichi! We can help, What are your names?"
She had an innocent smile that told the five she could be trusted. One of the two young girls stepped foreword and offered her hand to shake, "Hi! I'm Rena!" Usagi looked her over while shaking her hand.
She had pinkish purple hair cut short and came a few inches above her shoulders and the bangs were just above her red eyes. Herr skin had yellow markings on the cheeks, belly, and arms.
Her armor consisted of a bikini like top that was pink with gold outlining and golden swirls. She also had bottom armor right under her belly button that was also pink with the golden swirls and outlining. Some of the bottom armor part came off her thighs a bit. From the wrists to the elbow was armor on both arms that had the same design. She wore tight purple leggings and white boots up to the knee.
"This is my twin brother Shuugo!" A little boy gave his hand to Usagi to shake.
He had bright blue messy hair that stuck out everywhere from under his large orange hat. His soft blue eyes were partly hidden under the messy hair and he also had markings. But only the face wasn't covered and Usagi saw red triangle like lines on his cheeks.
He didn't really have armor; Shuugo's clothes were white and orange. He had a long sleeved white shirt on and an orange shirt on top that ended before reaching the belly button. His orange pants reached down a couple inches above the ankles; socks were tucked under the pants and he wore brown colonial looking boots that ended a little above the ankle. His matching brown gloves overlapped the white shirt.
Usagi noticed an ancient looking gold ring that looked heavy and thick wrapped around his right wrist on top of the gloves. He had a funny confident looking smile smacked on his face that made Usagi smile.
"Pleasure to meet you Shuugo." She said, "Likewise." He sounded like a young child yet used his words like an adult.
"Hi I'm Mereille!" A girl pushed Shuugo out of the way to grab Usagi's hand, "You are so pretty!" She seemed to envy Usagi. Usagi blushed feverishly, "Thank you Mereille..."
Mereille had a very puffy outfit that made her quite unique among the fighter looking people around her. She had dark red hair that almost looked brown and had piercing red eyes. Her hat was larger then her head and had tow pieces that fell on opposite sides of her head down almost touching the ground.
Her white dress came down a bit above her ankles and the arms almost covered the entire hands. The dress was outline with light blue curvy lines and the collar his the entire neck with a bell hanging off, and a yellow bow off the bell. Her shoes were blue with and overlapping white and some lacy white things. Mereille had a sweet and curios smile on her face.
Another shy looking boy walked up and shook Usagi's hand, "I'm Reki. A pleasure to meet you Usagi and I'll introduce Balmung for him. That is Balmung he's a silent one. Elk should be joining us soon too."
He was very polite and sweet boy with blonde hair that stuck out of his hat, but not as messy as Shuugo's, and brown eyes. He had a red boyish looking dress like thing that came above the ankles. The long sleeves were rimmed with real gold plates as well as his shoulders and two across the chest. There were blue designs on the bottom of his outfit and a brown belt with purple pieces of cloth that fell to the back and connected. His brown boots were normal and he held a blue book.
Balmung seemed to be twenty years old or something around that age. He had silver roman looking armor that covered all of his upper body and ended above the knees. His legs, feet, and arms were a dark blue armor and his hands were the same silver armor. He had a bright white looking cape that resembled wings. He had whitish hair and purple eyes that looked very strict. He had his arms crossed in annoyance.
"So that's all of you? Nice to meet you all!" Usagi said the others chorused hi as well.
"Actually Elk disappeared in the crowd, he isn't very hard to spot though...look for a depressed fourteen year old with blue hair and a staff and a blue dress outfit like thing..." Mereille said as she began to trail off into her own little world.
"Okay I'm sure we can find him come one let's split up and meet back right here in thirty minutes okay?" Usagi asked. The newcomers cheered and Shuugo said, "But we'll get lost so we'll have to pair up with some of you guys."
"Hmm...let me see." Usagi looked around trying to think of the best pair ups.
"You guys choose ho you want to go with." All four ran up to Usagi and she got a surprised and not too relieved look, "We are supposed to split up you know that right."
The parings ended up like this; Rena, Mereille, and Usagi. Shuugo, Goten, C. Trunks, and sadly enough Evian and Nina(to keep them out of trouble). Balmung, Bulma, and Chichi. And Reki went with Gohan, Videl, and M. Trunks. Hotaru decided to go home to C.C. and prepare rooms for the six... that was a smart idea.
About a half an hour later everyone returned to the spot and it happened to be Rena, Mereille, and Usagi who found Elk.
He indeed did look pretty depressed. Usagi didn't know why but was determined to find out later. He had blue hair that loosely fell down a bit past his cheek and had very possessed looking red eyes.
He wore a blue boyish dress like thing with some brown pants under it that didn't come less than five inches away from the ankles and black shoes. His hat was a matching blue color and had lighter blue marks on the only peace of skin showing, his face. His black gloves were cut so that his fingers came out and had a long sleeved gray shirt under the dress like thing.
Something that seemed to show the most was his facial feature. He looked as if he'd never smiled in his life-Usagi made a note to change that.
The strangest things among them were what they carried. Rena carried a sword strapped to her back that Usagi doubted even she, who's about three times bigger, would ever be able to pick it up. Shuugo carried two smaller blades that still looked heavy. Mereille carried a strange staff as well as Elk-who's staff seemed more threatening and heartless unlike Mereille's who had a sweeter looking staff. Reki just seemed to carry a (if you know a lot of .hackdusk can someone tell me what Reki is? A Heavy Blade, Wave master, etc. thanks!). And Balmung only carried a normal, but broad, sword.
"Why do you carry weapons around in public?" Evian asked, clearly annoyed.
"Well...its along story and we were hoping you'd answer some questions. This isn't 'The World' because we can smell, feel, and all those other senses." Rena explained.
"Let's all head back to C.C. and we can talk there. Hotaru's already gone home to prepare your rooms and everything." Bulma offered sweetly.
They all, and amazingly quietly, walked down to C.C. Where Bulma then decided they'd talk during dinner so all the kids went off to 'explore'. Goten, Hotaru (no longer Saturn), and C. Trunks went with them so no one would get lost.
In the family room the TV was on and the channels flipping every two seconds thanks to Usagi and the remote that was currently in her hands, "Can't you just decide on a channel?" Gohan asked as politely as possible.
Usagi sat in the middle of Hotaru and Trunks on the couch in front of the TV. Gohan and Videl sat in a love seat on the left that turned towards the middle coffee table, though they kept their heads and bodies tilted towards the screen. And an annoyed Evian sat by herself on the love chair facing Gohan and Videl...but she had her eyes closed and no one could tell if she was sleeping or what.
"No! There's like nothing good here...news...news...news...and guess what!" She turned her head sarcastically towards Gohan, who looked uneasy...an un- entertained Usagi was not a good thing.
"More news?" Hotaru asked in her sweet ten year old voice with a large smile directed to her aunt Usagi. Usagi returned the smile, "That's right Hotaru! Why don't you go play with the other kids!"
"Okay!" And she jumped off the sofa and ran off to find everyone her age.
"I refuse to believe that innocent girl is the same Sailor Saturn...I just can't believe it... she's WAY too young!" Videl said leaning back into the chair with arms crossed.
"She has two presences inside her. Hotaru Tomoe and Sailor Saturn. Saturn is really cold and strict, she is the senshi of death after all. And Hotaru is just another innocent little girl." Usagi explained eyes turning back to the TV screen.
"I hate to say it but she really freaks me out. I feel like..." Trunks began but Usagi cut him off, "Like your too close to death? You are. Its scary to think about it but you'll get used to it after a while. Besides...death isn't evil or wrong, its just one more part of life every living soul must take. Its nature, to not die is to defy Mother Nature's ultimate law. Personally I'm not all that scared." She shrugged then threw the remote at Trunks who caught it casually.
"I'm, going off to find the new kids." Trunk's gaze followed her until she was out of site. Videl didn't fail to take notice of this and leaned foreword and rested her chin on folded hands.
"Does the great all powerful Trunks have a crush?" Videl teased...this took Gohan's mind of the TV to his girlfriend and his best friend who was now redder than a tomato could ever dream of being.
"No way! She's just my friend!" Videl smirked knowingly as well as Gohan, "That's what I said when I met Videl." He said casually making M. Trunks, if possible, even redder.
"Let's leave him alone Gohan. Nobody bothered us..." Videl pointed out. Trunks let out a big breathe of relief.
Usagi walked down the hall that was the loudest and of course where she found the kids and Balmung getting a tour. Balmung looked pretty nnoyed so Usagi gave him a break, "I'll show you around later." Usagi smiled at him and his face lightened with joy, "Thanks!" And he ran off before the kids could ask any questions.
"Hey guys! Wanna go get some lunch...dinner and we can go sit outside and talk?" Usagi asked. They all chorused a 'yes'...well except Elk.
Outside
"So you guys aren't from around here huh?" Usagi asked through some food in her mouth. C. Trunks and Goten looked up, while stuffing their faces, at the newcomers; innocently waiting for an answer.
"In our world, the real one, we all live normally. Some company created an online Massive Multiplayer Role Playing Game where users log on and off using their computers. It's a medieval like world were you choose your type of character, its outfit, etc." Reki started.
"Yeah you get to go on quests, battle monsters-" Rena was starting when Mereille cut in, "Collect rare items like Kite's bracelet Shuugo used to have!" (Again I haven't seen this particular series of .hack so I'm just going to say they ended the quest that I seem to know little about.)
"Yeah we've been in lots of adventures!" Rena said excitedly.
"You can tell her about those later Rena. Right now we're giving her a main idea." Reki tried to calm them down.
"There are many people who played. We were playing and some bright light engulfed us while we were chatting about random events. Somehow we all ended up here, which obviously is a 'real' world, not a computer game.
"But the strange part is...is that we are here in our game clothes...I can't figure out how that's possible though. They don't even sell the clothes in the 'real world' stores (again I don't know if this is fact or fiction)." Reki finished.
Usagi stared blinking and Goten and C. Trunks followed her example like they were triplets. Then Usagi 'hm'-ed, "Well...I don't know how that happened honestly. I'm from a different world also...supposedly there are many dimensions, or as most people call them 'worlds', out there." She sighed.
"You guys can stay here 'till we find out how to get you back. Maybe Usagi's time-friend-lady-person can help us!" C. Trunks said with a big smile. The 'newcomers' mimicked and Usagi let out a small laugh but suddenly she felt some kind of pain.
She breathed harder and harder as it got worse and worse. 'What is this pain? No one should ever go through this!' She thought frantically of a reason why this was happening.
"USAGI!!!!!!" Goten screamed being the first to see her. Everyone screamed an rushed to her side as she fell over unconscious.
The girls all covered their eyes...being too grossed out and all. The boys quickly flew her inside to find Bulma.
"Wha...? Where am I" Usagi muttered as she opened her eyes into a really bright light causing them to instantly closed.
"Your in the hospital here in C.C. You gave us all a scare there-almost died!" She heard Bulma's voice. Through her closed eyes she could tell the lamp above her was pushed away so she tried to open her eyes again. It was still kind of bright.
"Died? All I remember was feeling some sort of pain then t all goes black." Usagi said.
"Usagi you better take a real good look in the mirror." Usagi turned around and saw a 6 ft. long mirror on the opposite wall as he bed. She began walking towards it and gasped.
There were deep scars on her ankles, wrists, neck, and she could see some under her bandaged stomach.
"Those cuts refused to stop bleeding. The boys brought you here and there wasn't one place you weren't covered in blood. A chain tearing into you made those cuts. I don't know how they appeared though." Bulma said.
"What does this mean? Does Evian know?" Usagi asked taking her eyes from the mirror to look at Bulma who shook her head 'no', "Not even the Guardian of Time could tell me what happened! It's so weird they just appeared.
"Does it have something to do with the new kids?" Usagi asked.
"No. Don't you remember being with them at that picnic?" Bulma walked over to a window and peered out into the city.
"No. No not really. Its all blurry..." Usagi thought as she scratched her head.
"Well for now you should go up and get some food. You've been in bed eight days. You sure heal fast!" Bulma turned away from the window and made for the door.
Usagi looked out the window to see a man standing there in a tight black hooded cloak looking in her direction with an emotionless face...wait, there was a bit of relief showing. She could make out silver hair and a black bandana to cover his eyes, "Usagi?" Bulma asked. Usagi looked at her then back out the window and the man was gone.
"Who was that?" Bulma looked out the window to see no one, "Are you sure your okay?" She asked honestly with a little hesitation.
"Yeah...just thought I saw something, silly me!" Usagi smiled and followed, "Gee I'm starved! Let's eat!" And Usagi tried hard not to look like a pig as she ate but then she remembered how she had seen Goku and the other saiya-jins ate. So she ate like a pig.
Goku, Chichi, Gohan, and Goten were visiting after what they heard about Usagi. So now everyone was chatting and having a good time.
Usagi leaned over to Shuugo, who happened to be sitting next to her, and asked, "What happened?"
He stared up at her with a curious face mixed with a terrified one, "You mean you don't remember?" She shook her head 'no' and stared at him giving Shuugo the cue to go on.
"Well one moment we were all sitting and talking about nothing the next Goten yells your name. We look over and you were drenched in blood...as if you had been swimming in it or something!" He explained. Rena overheard and interrupted.
"Yeah! It was really scary Usagi! You had chains wrapped around your throat, stomach, wrists, and ankles. Then Goten and Chibi Trunks flew you to Bulma right away. It was so scary..." Rena shuddered as she pictured what had happened in her head.
The next day Usagi lay in bed all day. Her stomach was beginning to grow with Rini. She sighed, "I love Rini...but I didn't want her this way." Usagi closed her eyes and fell into a dreamful sleep.
Usagi's dream was a flashback of the Silver Millennium, which she had grown accustomed to over time.
-Flashback-
Princess Serenity leaned over to smell some flowers in one of Makoto's gardens. It was a secret garden that only let Makoto's closest friends in- not even Queen Selenity knew about it. Which was perfect for Serenity and her true love.
They were forbidden to ever love, or both would be banished from each other's worlds, and so they secretly met in the garden. Serenity pretended with her best friend Prince Endymion...pretended they loved each other, which wouldn't be as bad a punishment.
He began making his way over to Serenity in an outfit much like Endymion's only it was dark navy blue with some gold lining.
She smiled and kept her attention to the flowers even though she knew he approached, "Hello Serenity." He said softly and nicely.
Serenity smiled and looked up to a shadowed face, "Hello my love!" And they embraced with the flowers to protect them.
In fact Princess Venus was the one who somehow bribed the two to go out and now they couldn't regret it. They were tied by destiny to be together.
-End Flashback-
Some people are wondering and have commented that Evian is named after a bottled water company...I know that. My friend has some REALLY good blackmail on me and is going to try messing w/ my story as much as she can. She said one way was that she wanted the most serious character to be named after a bottled water company...so yeah. That's why her name is like that
Check out my website...not done yet though...sadly enough!!!!!
I'm sticking with the American dub okay? I just like the Japanese names better so that's the only Japanese stuff I'm putting up. I don't own any characters except Evian and Nina. The new .hackdusk characters are pretty OOC I think seeing as I haven't seen/played the movie/show/or game yet...only a bit of .hacksign. (Real sorry I didn't add Ouka! I didn't feel like it peoplezzz!)

She breathed harder and harder as it got worse and worse. 'What is this pain? No one should ever go through this!' She thought frantically of a reason why this was happening.
"USAGI!!!!!!" Goten screamed being the first to see her. Everyone screamed an rushed to her side as she fell over unconscious.
The girls all covered their eyes...being too grossed out and all. The boys quickly flew her inside to find Bulma.
"Wha...? Where am I" Usagi muttered as she opened her eyes into a really bright light causing them to instantly closed.
"Your in the hospital here in C.C. You gave us all a scare there-almost died!" She heard Bulma's voice. Through her closed eyes she could tell the lamp above her was pushed away so she tried to open her eyes again. It was still kind of bright.
"Died? All I remember was feeling some sort of pain then t all goes black." Usagi said.
"Usagi you better take a real good look in the mirror." Usagi turned around and saw a 6 ft. long mirror on the opposite wall as he bed. She began walking towards it and gasped.
There were deep scars on her ankles, wrists, neck, and she could see some under her bandaged stomach.
"Those cuts refused to stop bleeding. The boys brought you here and there wasn't one place you weren't covered in blood. A chain tearing into you made those cuts. I don't know how they appeared though." Bulma said.
"What does this mean? Does Evian know?" Usagi asked taking her eyes from the mirror to look at Bulma who shook her head 'no', "Not even the Guardian of Time could tell me what happened! It's so weird they just appeared.
"Does it have something to do with the new kids?" Usagi asked.
"No. Don't you remember being with them at that picnic?" Bulma walked over to a window and peered out into the city.
"No. No not really. Its all blurry..." Usagi thought as she scratched her head.
"Well for now you should go up and get some food. You've been in bed eight days. You sure heal fast!" Bulma turned away from the window and made for the door.
Usagi looked out the window to see a man standing there in a tight black hooded cloak looking in her direction with an emotionless face...wait, there was a bit of relief showing. She could make out silver hair and a black bandana to cover his eyes, "Usagi?" Bulma asked. Usagi looked at her then back out the window and the man was gone.
"Who was that?" Bulma looked out the window to see no one, "Are you sure your okay?" She asked honestly with a little hesitation.
"Yeah...just thought I saw something, silly me!" Usagi smiled and followed, "Gee I'm starved! Let's eat!" And Usagi tried hard not to look like a pig as she ate but then she remembered how she had seen Goku and the other saiya-jins ate. So she ate like a pig.
Goku, Chichi, Gohan, and Goten were visiting after what they heard about Usagi. So now everyone was chatting and having a good time.
Usagi leaned over to Shuugo, who happened to be sitting next to her, and asked, "What happened?"
He stared up at her with a curious face mixed with a terrified one, "You mean you don't remember?" She shook her head 'no' and stared at him giving Shuugo the cue to go on.
"Well one moment we were all sitting and talking about nothing the next Goten yells your name. We look over and you were drenched in blood...as if you had been swimming in it or something!" He explained. Rena overheard and interrupted.
"Yeah! It was really scary Usagi! You had chains wrapped around your throat, stomach, wrists, and ankles. Then Goten and Chibi Trunks flew you to Bulma right away. It was so scary..." Rena shuddered as she pictured what had happened in her head.
The next day Usagi lay in bed all day. Her stomach was beginning to grow with Rini. She sighed, "I love Rini...but I didn't want her this way." Usagi closed her eyes and fell into a dreamful sleep.
Usagi's dream was a flashback of the Silver Millennium, which she had grown accustomed to over time.
-Flashback-
Princess Serenity leaned over to smell some flowers in one of Makoto's gardens. It was a secret garden that only let Makoto's closest friends in- not even Queen Selenity knew about it. Which was perfect for Serenity and her true love.
They were forbidden to ever love, or both would be banished from each other's worlds, and so they secretly met in the garden. Serenity pretended with her best friend Prince Endymion...pretended they loved each other, which wouldn't be as bad a punishment.
He began making his way over to Serenity in an outfit much like Endymion's only it was dark navy blue with some gold lining.
She smiled and kept her attention to the flowers even though she knew he approached, "Hello Serenity." He said softly and nicely.
Serenity smiled and looked up to a shadowed face, "Hello my love!" And they embraced with the flowers to protect them.
In fact Princess Venus was the one who somehow bribed the two to go out and now they couldn't regret it. They were tied by destiny to be together.
-End Flashback-
Some people are wondering and have commented that Evian is named after a bottled water company...I know that. My friend has some REALLY good blackmail on me and is going to try messing w/ my story as much as she can. She said one way was that she wanted the most serious character to be named after a bottled water company...so yeah. That's why her name is like that
Check out my website...not done yet though...sadly enough!!!!!
