-Last time on Family: lost memories...-

Mamoru: See I think Ami may be in serious danger...

-This time-

-Ami's dream-

Ami stands among the ruins of her past home, Planet Mercury, in her princess form. She looks around wondering why she was here. She feels a presence behind her and turns around to come face to face with her mother.

"Mother?" Ami didn't know that this was her mother but she figured since she too had the symbol of Mercury glowing on her forehead.

"Yes child. I am your Mother" the woman says almost sadly

"What's wrong?"

"Something must be revealed that I wish not to reveal to you... Have you ever asked yourself why you are the weakest of the Senshi?" Ami sends a confused look towards her mom as she nods slightly.

"Sometimes... Why?"

"It would be easier to show you rather than tell you" A deep blue mist forms a warp hole as the ghostly queen gestures for Ami to follow her into the vortex. As Ami steps through she finds that they are in, what looks like the throne room for the castle that use to stand on the tiny planet. It stands empty except for a person, who reminded her of a doctor, and the Queen.

"Your Highness, I have some rather disturbing news," a nod from her tells him to continue. "I have the results from the tests that were taken yesterday."

"And..."

"How should I say this M'lady. You are unable to bare children. I'm sorry your majesty" He bows and leaves knowing the queen needed time to let this sink in. Ami gasped. 'But how?' she thought to herself

"What would my sister think if she found out... this must not be found out." The room fades as these words are spoken. The next scene is outside next to a crater with a medium sized spherical thing inside the crater. The queen goes down to find out what the object was when suddenly it opens to reveal a small dark haired child with a light brown tail. The child's hair was black with hints of dark blue, and she had really dark brown/almost black eyes. Ami locked eyes with the young child and suddenly realized she was looking at a younger version of herself. She watches as the Queen picks the young girl up and takes her into the palace; but when she picks the child up, the girl changes. Her hair turns to an ocean blue and her eyes become a soft blue, also the tail vanishes and the sign of Mercury appeared on her forehead one moment and was gone the next...

"I transferred some of my powers to you that day, the day I found you and claimed you as my heir. You see it was very important to have an heir because she would take the role of Senshi and if one is missing you know that the team is not as strong. You came to me from another planet; I hid your powers and gave you that of the senshi of water's. Your Powers are weak because you were never supposed to be a Senshi, at least not one of Mercury. When I found you I sensed that your powers at that age rivaled that of the Silver Crystal, My sister's power source, so I bond it and changed your appearance." –Tears fell from Ami's eyes as she listens to all of this and replays the images in her head. She was trying to make sense of everything but wasn't having much luck. If she wasn't human and she wasn't mercurian then what was she? –

"I would be more of a help to the team of Senshi if I had my 'original' powers. By the way where am I from?"

"We were unable to detect the origins of the space pod that you arrived in but I know that they are both very powerful and very intelligent. Other than that I can offer you no other information. I can, however, unbind your powers and give you your true identity back." With a nod dark blue mist surrounds Ami drawing out the powers of Mercury and subsides. Then a burst of energy is unleashed as the ancient bonds are released finally. Ami's hair grows down to about her chin and is black with streaks of dark blue. Her eye color goes from a light blue to dark brown/almost black in color, also a her tail appears and wraps around her waist. The new and powerful energy surges through her causing her to cry out, as her body is not use to so much power at once. As she gathers her energy a faint golden Aura glows around her. Finally the transformation ends and Ami slumps to the ground, sweat has formed on her brow from all that had just happened.

"It's good to be myself again" She smiles before passing out...

-In the Holding Cell-

- Ami awakes with a start as she remembers her dream... no it was a vision. She looks down at her clothes, She must have de-transformed when he knocked her out. She began replay her dream over and over again in her head. Since She wasn't of Mercurian blood and since she had her own powers back, could she still transform into Sailor Mercury... The question played around in her mind as she takes out the mini computer that she has used so many times in the past. She opens it and sees nothing but a blank screen. Then her Mother, well the one she's known as her mother for all these years, pops up on the screen and says "If you are wondering if you can still transform into Sailor Mercury... the answer is no. When you transformed into yourself I had to take every ounce of magical energy I transferred into you. I'm sorry. You'll have to give this computer and your henshin stick to my niece when you see her again. You know her as Usagi or Sailor Moon; She can find someone to take your place on the team. Farewell" A tear rolls down her face, as she knows that she is not part of the team anymore. Maybe she could convince them that they need her powers and they will let her help. Ami hears footsteps coming in her direction, she makes sure that her tail is out of sight, and waits for the person to enter. The door slides open to reveal the one who brought her here in the first place: Vegeta. Vegeta stops as he sees that this isn't the same girl he brought onto the ship. This girl reminded him of someone who died a very long time ago, whom has haunted his dreams. -

"Who are you?" He asked in a low voice. He looks into her eyes searching for an answer. She hesitates for a minute before answering.

"All I have known in my life has been a Lie; Once I was known as Princess Amelia of Mercury, then I became Sailor Mercury. Know I know that I don't know who I am or where I came from, but I was hoping that you could help me." She knew that this was the boy from her dreams; it just had to be.

"What makes you think that I would help you!?" a scowl crosses his face.

"Because I believe that we are related. I know it sounds bizarre but I've been having dreams... they are almost like memories..." She is cut off by his demand.

"Tell me"

"I'm in a foggy area and I hear someone calling my name but no one is around. Then an image of a strange little kid, who has black spiky hair and what looks to be a brown tail. I hear him say 'Sis, Come back... NO!!!' Then I see him staring up towards the sky and crying. I call out to him but he doesn't seem to hear or see me. Then it all fades a friend of mine did a fire reading to try and figure out what it means. She found out that the strange little kid with the tail is my Brother..."

"That 'strange little kid' is, was, me. That is what happened the night that she disappeared... but that would mean..."

"That I'm your sister... but what happened?"

"Kagura? Is that you?" As he says the name Ami remembers that night so long ago that she was separated from her brother.

- Flashback –

Laughter is heard as a young girl, about 5 or so, plays hide-n-go seek with her twin brother. Currently it was the boy's turn to count and the girls turn to hide, well she goes to hide.

'Ah this will be the best spot, Vegeta'll never find me' she whispered to herself as she climbed into one of the space pods. The window on the front allowed her to see out but no one could look in and see her. Vegeta finished counting and with a quick 'Ready or not, here I come!' he went in search of her. He looked for almost an hour, not finding her in any of her usual hiding spots. She had fallen asleep inside the pod, and must have bumped one of the controls because she was awoken by the spacecraft taking off. She looked out the window and say him looking up towards it, she was frightened and feared that she would never again see him again. He knew that his sister was in the pod because nobody else was scheduled to depart that day and he could feel it.

'Sis, Come back... NO!!!' the boy yells out. As she heard these words, she began to cry, soon she cried herself to sleep. The next thing she remembered was crash landing on a strange planet and meeting the woman who lied to her, her whole life.

- End of Flashback -

"Yes. I'm back Vegeta, I remember what happened" Tears threaten to fall as she says these words. Vegeta moves over to her and embraces her tightly.

"It's good to have you back sis." Ami, or rather Kagura, hugs her brother as she cries into his shoulder.

"If I wouldn't have hidden in that stupid pod none of this would have ever happened"

"Don't worry about it sis. Now we need to find something that would be more suitable of the Princess of the most powerful race of beings in existence" She looks down to her clothes, she's wearing her school uniform still. He told her that he'd be right back and walks out and returns in a few minutes with a uniform similar to his but was light and seemingly old.

"Mother told me that if you were ever found, to give you this armor... it was made for her by our Father. Now it is yours" He lays it on the bench and walks out so she can change. First she puts on the silky royal blue undershirt then slipped the breastplate on, which fit her surprisingly well. After that she pulls on the skirt, which has shorts under it, that is made out of some very durable material yet very light. She then slips on the pair of boots that he had sat beside the bench. Her tail takes its place around her waist as she goes to the door to tell him she's done.

"Ok. How do I look?"

"Just like our Mother use to. Now I say we re-introduce you to our people, many have searched for years trying to find you." She nods and silently 'thanks' the gods for reuniting them. He motions for her to follow him, as she follows people in the halls whisper as they go by. One reason is that they've never seen her before and another is that she reminds them of the late Queen Keade. They enter the main deck where Kalgeta is piloting the craft silently; when he sees the Prince and the Girl he stops and puts the craft on autopilot. He felt a very high level of energy coming from the girl, one that rivaled the prince's own power level.

"Who is that?" Kalgeta said looking at the girl strangely. The Prince chuckles as he looks at Kalgeta.

"You should know, you took her to the holding cell"

"But that can't be right... I took that weakling earth female to the holding cells, not a powerful Sayin-jin Warrior. Plus the Hair and eyes were blue and I'm pretty sure she didn't have a tail"

"I told you that that 'weakling earth female', as you called her, had much more power than you thought. The image you saw when she first came here was a lie, the image you see here is the truth."

"But who is she?" He asks impatiently.

"She is my Twin Sister, and your Princess" Kalgeta's eyes grow wide as he realizes this, and bows his head.

"I'm sorry, your highnesses. I didn't know"

"Now to inform the others," Vegeta says as he opens a ship wide vid-link.

"I have great news! Today I have found someone that most of you should remember. That someone is my Sister, Princess Kagura!" Cheers can be heard through the halls of the ship, as the people are glad to have their princess back. He closes the vid-link and smirks while listening to the cheers.

"Where are our parents..." Kagura asked fearing that they may have been dead. Her fear was confirmed when she saw the look in her twin's eyes.

"They died when Freeza attacked the planet... nothing is left of our glorious race except for the number of survivors that are aboard this ship. I'm sorry sis." He looks down sadly. She wipes back a tear as she remembers her friends.

"My friends and I were the last of our race too, each of them a Princess of a long forgotten planet... speaking of my friends, I need to go to back to Earth."

"Not alone your not, I lost you once I'm not losing you again!"

"Ok on one condition, you teach me to fight using my ki."

"Deal. Lets go sis" They prepared for their journey back to earth.

Back to the Z-Senshi

"Guys I think I know where we can find our answer... I felt a few power levels higher than normal when we passed that shrine back there" Goku said as he points in the direction of Hikawa shrine. The others nod and follow Goku towards the shrine; they had felt the energy's too. They start up the steps and begin to see bit and pieces of the rubble from that previous battle; also they hear the voices of people talking. They top the stairs and glances around at the broken concrete, and then they look over to the group of four girls and one guy. The girls look up to see the other group looking their way.

"Who are you and what reason do you have for being here!" Rei demanded

"Well I'm Goku, this is Gohan, Krillen, Tien, Puar, Piccolo, Yamcha, Chaozu, Master Roshi, and Bulma. We are here because about an hour and a half ago we each felt a strong energy surge in this area... Plus we sensed that you all have higher power levels than most humans do, so we came to find out why. Who are you?" He points to the person as he said their names.

"I'm Mamoru, This is Usagi, Minako, Makoto, and Rei. Lets go into the temple to discuss these things, maybe we can help each other with our problems." He motions for them to follow him as he tucks the broken communicator in his pocket, Goku notices and notes to ask about it later. They go into the main room, where all of the senshi meetings have been held in the past years.

"Do you all want some tea?" Rei suggests.

"Tea will be great. I'll help you" Rei looks over to Mamoru as if telling him to offer to help and she needed to talk with him in the kitchen.

"That's ok, I'll help her... Goku was it?" Mamoru asks as he stands and walks over to the Shinto priestess, Goku nods and sits back down. The two walk into the kitchen to make the tea while the others settle into a conversation. Rei glares at Mamoru as soon as they are out of sight of the others.

"Why did you do that?! They may be enemies and from what I can tell they are extremely powerful. Maybe they are the ones who did this to the temple, maybe they are trying to trick us."

"Believe me If I thought that they were dangerous I would have not invited them in. Your right they are powerful but they said they 'felt' an energy surge about an hour and a half ago... that's just after Ami left me at the Arcade and just before I went looking for her. Maybe they know something that could help us get our friend back. Right now we have no leads what so ever."

"I guess your right Mamoru. I'm sorry I overreacted but after what happened out front can you blame me for being a little bit suspicious of them..."

"The tea is done, we should go back in there and try to get to the bottom of this."

Rei nods as she pours the tea and sets the cups on a tray and goes to serve their guests; Mamoru follows her into the other room. They hear Usagi telling the Z-Warriors about their lives in the Silver Millennium.

"... So you see we're stronger than normal humans, because we aren't exactly humans ourselves, Except for Mamoru He's the Prince of Earth."

Rei almost drops the tray as she hears her princess telling these people all about their pasts lives. She sets to tray down on the table and goes to sit down beside Minako. 'Why did she give out that information so easily...' she ponders to herself. Usagi seemingly having 'heard' this thought explained her reasoning to the priestess.

"Rei, I told them because I could not sense any malice in their hearts. And plus it was Luna who started talking in the first place, so don't blame me blame her." She said almost pouting at the end. Something about that told Rei that these people were to be trusted, since Luna trusted them. That cat didn't trust many people other than those who knew the group's secret.

- Back to Kagura (Ami) and Vegeta -

They land in a deserted section in the park close to the Shrine. Vegeta could feel about 8 fairly decent power levels coming from nearby, two of them were familiar to him.

"Come on the shrine is this way" Kagura starts in the direction of the shrine, Vegeta just follows her while still thinking about the power levels he sensed. After only a few minutes of walking they end up at the bottom of the steps leading towards the temple. They start up the stairs in silence; Kagura because she didn't know how her friends were going to react to her new self, and Vegeta because those power levels seemed to be coming from the place that they were headed. They top the stairs and glances around.

"They must be inside"

-Inside-

"Guys I sense two very high power levels outside" Krillen whispered to the others. They nod and stand to go outside. The girls also stand to go too, they transform and prepare for a possible battle, then go out to join the others outside.

"Vegeta, What are you doing here!" Goku growled

"I could ask you the same thing Kakarot"

"Who is that with you Vegeta, your girlfriend?" Goku chuckles but stops as he hears Vegeta growl slightly then stop as the Kagura put a hand on his shoulder.

"No I'm his sister Kagura. Well actually his Twin." She said in a dangerous tone that meant if you messed with her brother you'd have to go through her first. Goku stopped dead as he heard her name. 'Kagura' he whispers to himself, he remembered her name...

-End for now-

A/N: I'm glad I got this out as soon as I did. I was having a problem coming up with Ami's sayin-jin name so I borrowed 'Kagura' from InuYasha... Also 'Keade' is from InuYasha. Anyways please r/r. thanks.
