A/N Okay guys, here we go! Chapter 74!

RRs:

rsd: I know, it would save everybody alot of greif....but then my story would be plotless.....

d.g. and crew: I can't wait for ya'll's new chappies! Please hurry and update!

Sylvah Tigah: ^_^ I did it! I got you to like her! Oh, and for the question....I have no idea.

DarkPixie: Okay, this is a question that me and my freinds at school have fought numerous times over: X-men IS an anime! Explain: A cartoon is short animated story that has no reacuring plot line. (Like Powerpuff girls or Ed, Edd, and Eddy) An anime is a longer animated story that is broken up into 'episodes' where one episode effects the next. X-men is an american anime. (Like Thunder Cats, anyone remember them? *shudders* I try to forget....)

Hart: Welcome back! Yeah, all I mentioned is on the clip, just that the jewels are small. I think I gave the length of the clip, 3-5 inches. Ima take your advice on this chapter, also. But, first page? What do you mean? I'm stupid and have no idea what you are talking about. ^_^

Chapter 74: Breaking through

The afternoon after the hair incident, Rose and Trunks stood in the same grassy field that Rose found her inner energy at.

Trunks looked at the girl in front of him. "You ready to try this again?"

The girl nodded and closed her eyes. Focusing her inner energy, she willed it out. Gently, her now shorter hair, pulled back in the clip given to her, brushed across her face. Slowly, her energy swept underneath her feet, lifting her heels and letting only her toes remain in contact with the ground.

'This is easier than before...' Rose thought vagely as she keep her concentration in check. 'But still...something...is holding me back....'

Trunks looked at the girl who stood less than ten feet from him. 'Whats the hold up? With all the energy she's sending out, she should be zooming high. What's the matter this time?' A gold glimmer caught his eye. 'Is it just my imagination, or is her forehead glowing?'

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

Somewhere, in the diminstional rip...

Sailors Mercury and Jupiter, along with the X-men and the Yu yu Hakusho gang exchanged ideas about thier recent perdicament.

"You had any luck with the others, Mercury?" Jupiter asked as she watched Sailor Mercury tap at her computer.

The blue haired girl sighed and shook her head 'no.' "I haven't been able to contact anyone."

"Well that just figures!" Yuskee said crossing his arms. "I mean, its not like we're going to get a break!"

"We must not give up hope!" The professor said, looking thoughtful.

"We can give up whatever we want, old man!" Kuabara shouted.

Wolverine growled and extended his claws. "Don't talk to the professor that way, bub!"

"Now, now, boys!" Keiko said as she got inbetween them. "Lets try to get along here!"

"Keiko's right." Xavier said from his chair. "We must work together as a team if we are to get out of here."

Hiei scoffed. "Don't tell ME what to do, I do as I please!"

And, again, the two stars sweatdropped as the groupwide quarrel started again.

"We're doomed, aren't we?" Jupiter asked.

Mercury sighed. "It looks that way, doesn't it?" Suddenly, her computer beeped. She quickly scanned its screen. "What's this? There is a new power source nearby!"

The group quieted as the blue haired girl tried desperatly to locate the source. "This doesn't make sence!" She said after a moment. "It says there are two small energy sources right here!"

Jupiter looked shocked and confused. Hesitantly, she began to look around. "I don't see anything!" She then felt a warm spark from her clenched fist. "Wait, could it...be?"

Everyone looked as the brunette opened her palm. Inside her opened hand, the star crystal shard lay. It was glowing a light golden tint.

Gasping, Mercury took out her own star peice, like Jupiter's, it too was glowing. "This must be it!" Then, the gears in her mind snapped into movement. "Maybe I can locate the others by pinpointing the energy from thier crystal points!"

Closing her hand, Jupiter looked at Mercury. "But what if thier fragments aren't giving off any power?"

Not bothering to answer, the girl began feriously typing at her computer. "We have to be optomistic! I KNOW this will work!"

Jupiter nodded as she closed her eyes. 'Princess, please be safe.'

Beside her, Mercury was also praying to the star shard...

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

Bob sat in his headquarters, taking the latest report from Garnet and Topaz when four shadowy figures burst into the room.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" Bob yelled, outraged.

The four quickly knelt on the groun in front of him and the two negamoon soldiers. "Excuse us, lord Bob, but there has been changes in the energy waves emitting from the diminsional gates."

"What kind of 'changes'?" Topaz asked.

One of the figures sighed. "We do not know, but we think its got something to do with the star crystal or the sailor stars."

"FOOLS! OF COURSE ITS GOT TO DO WITH THEM!!!" Bob exclaimed.

Garnet looked disgusted. "You don't think they are trying to break through?"

"We doubt it. The energy emition is not enough to force the Stars and the others through."

"Nevertheless." Bob said, a bit more calmly. "Keep an eye on the energy readings. If there is further change, come and tell me at once!"

The four knelt again. "Yes, lord Bob."

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

Sailor Mars and Venus, along with the Inuyasha and the Yu-gi-oh groups, floated around the void of the diminstional rip.

"I'm bored." Venus said.

Then an all too familiar grin came upon Miroku's face. "I know what will get you out of your boredom..."

"No thanks, I'm happily bored. Thank you." She interupted, knowing full well what was going throught the monk's head.

Luckily, Sango was close enough to the monk...

WHACK!!!



And the oversized boomerang found the hard skull of a way-too-perverted monk.

Yami looked over. "Any word from your comrades?" He asked.

The two sailors shock thier heads. "Nothing."

Sailor Mars' shot her head up. "I sence a strange force! And its close!"

Immediatly, everyone went into defensive positions, scanning for anything.

Sailor Venus looked around when a flash from her hand caught her eye. "What?" She opened her hand and looked at the star shard. It was glowing a soft golden color.

Noticing Venus, Mars also opened her hand and gazed at her golden fragment. "What could it mean?"

Venus looked at her. "Maybe the princess needs us!"

Mars looked shocked. Closing her eyes and lifting her hands in prayer. 'Princess, we are here for you.'

Venus gripped her piece. Silently, she too sent a wish for the Princess's safety.

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

Unknowingly to everyone, the last shard of the crystal that remained locked in the broach of its keeper also glowed golden.

'What's holding me down?!' Rose thought desperatly. 'Please, I need to break through!'

Trunks looked at the girl bewildered. 'What's going on here?' He looked at her forehead, it was still giving off a golden tint. 'Should I stop her? What's going on?'

Diving deeper into herself, Rose concentated all she could on the task at hand. 'I need to do this!' The glowing shard that was hidden in her locket glowed brighter. 'But...I can't...do this by myself! What am I going to do?!'

Images of her four freinds flashed in her head. 'What is this? My freinds!' She thought happily.

Princess! The image of Mercury exclaimed.

You don't need to worry, we will help you! Venus said smiling.

You are not alone, silly! Mars said teasingly.

We're here with you, and we always will be! Jupiter said as she gave her a thumbs up.

'My freinds...even when we are so far apart, they still find a way to help me...' Rose thought happily.

Through the diminstional barrier, the gathered power of the star crystal gathered in the single point held by the princess.

The girl's eyes snapped open as the newly aquired energy surged into her heart. "That's it!" In a blinding flash, a golded light radiated from the girl, causing Trunks to sheild his eyes.

When the brightness diminished, the lavender-haired boy looked at the girl before him and gasped.

Rose was floating a full 3 feet off the ground, still in her normal clothes, but with one very important difference. A gold cresent moon was on her forehead.
