Well at least it didn't take two months this time.



Ch.7: Silver Millennium part II



Lita walked around the palace looking for Jetta. She found her outside staring up at the Earth.

"There you are" Lita said causing Jetta to jump. "Sorry." Lita sat next to Jetta on the ground. Jetta smiled weakly at her.

"It's okay." She looked back up at the Earth. Lita sighed.

"You really shouldn't do this to yourself."

"Lita I'm scared to death here. My planet is under siege and my brother, Jedite, and the other three are there fighting. I can't help but act this way." Lita wrapped an arm around Jetta's shoulders.

"I know. We're all worried. But you need to have faith that they will come back." Jetta relaxed, resting her head on Lita's shoulder. "You're usually the one telling us to have hope."

"I know Lita. But whenever I think of Jedite, I get a very sick feeling in my stomach. The same with Neflyte, Malachite and Zoicite."

"What about Darien?"

"I worry about my brother but I don't get the same feeling." Lita was about to say something when a black portal appeared about ten feet in front of them.

"What the-" Lita jumped up reaching for her power stick.

"Lita wait." Jetta said getting up. "That's one of Malachite's portals." The girls waited until a figure came out and fell to the ground. "Darien!" Jetta and Lita ran for him. Jetta bent down and rolled Darien on his back. He was badly beaten. "Lita get help quick!" Lita nodded and ran for the palace. Jetta tore cloth from the bottom of her dress and began to wipe blood off Darien's face. Darien groaned. Jetta pulled her hand back quickly. Darien slowly opened his eyes. Jetta was the first thing he saw.

"Sis." He whispered. Jetta continued cleaning his face of blood.

"Shh. Don't talk. You in bad shape Darien. Please don't waste your energy." Jetta said quietly.

"No I must tell you this." He said stopping her hand and moving it from his face. Jetta frowned.

"Save your strength Darien."

"No. All four of them are gone." Darien paused feeling himself slipping into darkness. "Beryl has them now." Jetta felt a tear roll down her cheek. "I'm sorry." Darien lost consciousness. Jetta quickly check his pulse before seeing Lita followed by the palace medical staff. Jetta moved out of the way as the medics took Darien away to get cared for. Lita glanced at Jetta who was staring off in space. Lita noticed the twin streaks down Jetta's cheeks.

"Jetta? What's wrong?" Jetta didn't answer but another set of tears fell. Lita turned Jetta to face her.

"They're gone Lita." Jetta mumbled not looking Lita in the eye. "Zoicite, Neflyte, Malachite, Jedite." A painful sob escaped from Jetta's throat. Lita quickly pulled Jetta close for comfort. Jetta then lost control of her emotions. Jetta's legs went weak making Lita lower her to the ground.

"Shhh." Lita tried to calm Jetta down but to no avail. Lita noticed Rei and Queen Serenity making their way over to them. Queen Serenity looked sad as she saw Jetta. Lita gave them a sympathetic look as they approached. Jetta had quieted down a bit. Queen Serenity kneeled down placing a hand on her back.

"Jetta dear I know how hard this must be for you, but you must find the strength to go on." She said softly.

"How can I Queen Serenity. Neflyte was my brains, Zoicite was my courage, Malachite was my personality, and Jedite.. Jedite was my love. I'm nothing without them." Jetta said wiping tears away.

"That's not true." Rei said kneeling next to Serenity. "You are so much on your own. And it isn't like we're not going to get them back anyway. Trust me." The look in Rei's eyes was enough to make Jetta believe her.

"Well you are the psychic Rei." Jetta broke away from Lita.

"Jetta maybe you should go to your room. Calm yourself and maybe get some sleep." Serenity suggested. Jetta nodded standing up.

"Yes madam." Jetta said as the others stood back up.

"Please allow me to escort you." Jetta nodded to Queen Serenity's request and they headed into the palace. Lita and Rei stayed behind.

"Rei tell me something. Do you really think we'll be able to get them back to our side?" Lita asked.

"Truthfully Lita, no I don't." Rei replied sadly.



Queen Serenity led Jetta to her room.

"Jetta please lay down and relax while I get you some cold water." Jetta nodding knowing not to disobey Queen Serenity. She laid down while Serenity entered the next room refrigerator. Queen Serenity came back to see Jetta sleeping peacefully. Serenity walked up to her and set the water on the side table. Queen Serenity lightly brushed hair from Jetta's face.

'The poor girl. First her mother is killed and now her new found love is gone with her best friends. No child should suffer this much.' Serenity thought before leaving the room and closing the door.



*the next night*



Jetta quietly sat in the ballroom watching the happy couples dance. She noticed her brother take Serena out on the balcony.

"I wander what they're up to." Jetta said silently.

"Who knows with those two."

"What does that mean Mina?"

"Nothing bad." Mina answered innocently.

"This coming from the royal big mouth." Jetta muttered. The surrounding princesses chuckled. Mina just rolled her eyes. Jetta smiled slightly and stood from her seat. "I think I'm going to get some fresh air."

"Don't be outside too long Jetta. You might catch a cold." Michelle said. Jetta sighed.

"Okay Michelle I won't be gone too long." She said leaving the table. Jetta ended up walking a ways from the palace. She glanced into the space to see something coming their way. She watched it pass over her head and she started running for the palace. She could hear the panic from inside the palace. "Luna and Artemis must have warned everyone. That's good." Jetta came to a sudden halt when she felt an evil presence behind her.

"Princess Jetta at last we meet." Jetta turned to see a tall red haired woman in a revealing violet dress.

"Who are you?"

"I am Queen Beryl, queen of the Negaverse."

"You're.. You're the one who killed my mother!" Beryl quickly appeared directly in front of Jetta roughly taking Jetta's chin in her hand.

"Yes that was me." Beryl said delighting in the fear she saw in Jetta's eyes. "You should also know that I am the one who just killed your father." Jetta's eyes grew wide.

"You monster." She mumbled wincing as she felt Beryl's nails dig into her skin.

"I may spare your life. Only if you swear loyalty to me." Jetta pulled her face from Beryl's hand scratching her face in the process.

"You slay my parents. Destroy my home. And you expect me to join forces with you!" Jetta shouted. "I would rather die a thousand deaths than bow to you!" Beryl narrowed her eyes.

"If that's the way you want it." Beryl produced a black crystal in her hand and plunged it in Jetta's heart. She disappeared as Jetta fell to the ground.

'Everyone I'm sorry I failed you.' That was the last thing Jetta thought before she slipped into darkness for good in that timeline.



After seeing her daughter's death Bulma wasn't sure if she could stand seeing Darien's. But they continued to watch as Rei, Lita and the rest of the scouts were killed. Bulma had to turn away when Darien died. Chichi couldn't even watch Serena's death with all the tears in her eyes.

"Seeing this again tears my heart in two." Queen Serenity muttered with a single tear rolling down her cheek. "After this I used the Imperium Silver Crystal to send everyone to the future on Earth. I do not know how but Beryl had tampered with my spell sending them to you instead of their own realm. Using the crystal took away my life. It was a price I found worth paying. Now you see the origin of your children. I think it is time to go back to your own timeline." Queen Serenity transported them back to Capsule Corp. Bulma and Chichi fell on the couch immediately.

"Where did they go to?" Goku wondered out loud. Bulma looked out the window.

"They're outside." Bulma watched in wonder how they looked so happy considering the horrible death she had just seen.

"They didn't join us because they already have their memories returned to them." Trista said also watching the teenagers.

"You know I never saw Vegeta. Wasn't he there as Jetta's father?" Yamcha wondered.

"No he was not there." Queen Serenity answered. "I saw no reason for him to see her death. Vegeta got a much different vision. He received a big event of Jetta's life now."



That's it for now. The next chapter will show what Vegeta was seeing. Boy does he get the surprise of his life.
