Chapter 85: Saturn vs. Trunks! Battle of Love!

Goku smiled as he watched the pair square off about 20 feet apart, looking at each other with both determination and caring. It was the same way for him when he had to fight Chi Chi in the World's Tournament.

"Now don't expect me to go easy on you now." Rose smirked as she tucked her hair behind her ear.

"Hey, I should by saying that, you know." Trunks quipped back.

Above them, Goku, acting referee, smiled. "Okay you two, get ready!"

Rose nodded as her queue. Unpinning her pendant in one fluid movement, she unclasped it and held it above her head.

"Saturn Moon Star Power!"

"Get set!" Power washed over the girl, as she was bathed in light and shooting stars fell around her, she spun as sparkling rings surrounded her waist and formed her suit. Her boots formed as crescent moons and stars landed on the tops of her knees, making the golden symbols that sat there. Her opened her eyes as the princess' mark appeared on her forehead, before her forming tiara covered it. Holding her open hand out, a rapier appeared there, its hilt encrusted with symbols of the planets that her teammates guarded, along with a crescent moon surrounding a five pointed star and the symbol of Saturn.

"And go!" Goku shouted, just as Sailor Saturn stood, poised and at the ready. She jumped right, just as Trunks charged, and narrowly missed him. Then she launched an attack of her own: without breaking her rhythm, she snapped her tiara off and sent it flying.

Trunks smirked as he easily dodged the golden disk, it went harmlessly behind him; he locked eyes with his opponent, only to see her smirk. What was she smiling about?

He soon learned, as behind him, the ground exploded! She wasn't aiming for you, fool! She was aiming for the ground! Dust and dirt flew around him, making him close his eyes and choke on the dust. Instintively, he scanned for her aura, his other senses dulled. Oh no! He momentarily forgot he couldn't sense her, he would have to use his weapon to find her, he reached for the hilt, just as a wave of energy hit him, sending him sprawled across the ground, coughing and sputtering.

Sailor Saturn was hovering above him, the moon wand still in her hand, having just used it. She hoped she didn't hurt him too badly. That was a bit dirty, but in a fight against him, she would have to use her wits instead of her usual fighting techniques if she had any chance in winning. Glancing behind her, she made sure the sun was directly at her back, so when Trunks started looking for her, he would have to squint to see her. She tightened her grip on her weapon; she would have to end this quickly!

Trunks stood up quickly, shaking the dust out of his hair, and looked around for the girl. Where was she? Looking up, he winced at the sun, but not before he saw her silhouette coming at him, with the sun behind her, making it impossible to follow her movements for long. He smiled to himself; she was charging him, so all he had to do was...

Her trek wavered a substantial amount when Trunks simply disappeared. 'Crap! Where did he go?'

"Looking for someone?" A voice sounded behind her, scaring her slightly. Instinct took over and she spun and drew her sword. Her movements were fluid and fast, and she fought as hard as she ever did. However, her efforts were short-lived: as Trunks dodged every one of them with ease.

"You had better do better than that, Kitten, I have a little more experience in hand to hand, you know!" He retorted, as he caught the blunt edge of the girl's weapon and held it away from him. His superior strength proved too much for the girl and she could not tear it away from his grasp.

"True, but you forget I'm a little smarter than I appear to be. And another thing: never touch the bare edge of my blade."

Trunks started to open his mouth to reply, when the shining blade in his hand started to glow, first a light violet then to a deeper purple. His eyes went wide, but he still held his grasp on the weapon. A strange tingle started to course down his arm, becoming stronger by the second. "I'm warning you, Trunks, let go!" Saturn demanded.

Even though he didn't want to admit it, his arm was starting to hurt a bit, as a strange power started to flow though him, he started to feel pain every time his heart took a beat, as if poison was flowing though every inch of his body. Slowly, he let the now-pulsing blade go.

Sailor Saturn looked wide-eyed at her weapon. 'What...it's never done this before...' She didn't notice as Trunks backed away slightly, in preparation for his next move.

From the sidelines, David watched with the other Sailor Stars. 'Oh no, what is wrong with Saturn's sword? This cannot be good, too much power is flowing though it now...if she doesn't do something soon, it will unleash its power without her consent...or explode in her hands...' "Princess! BE CAREFUL!"

His warning came too late: as the couple disappeared as a blinding explosion rocked the battlefield.

The resulting wave of energy caught Goku by surprise; he braced himself as a strong force blew by him, threatening to push him back. He closed his eyes as the light brightened and dimmed, and slowly opened them to see what had happened.

The first thing he noticed was the object that had caused the explosion: the sword was embedded in the ground, in one piece from what he could see. He then scanned the battlefield: Sailor Saturn was slowly rising to her feet; it appeared that she had hit the fence that outlined the battlefield, and stopped her from going out of bounds. He watched as she brushed her arm off, bloodstained dirt fell to the ground and she locked eyes with Goku. A thumbs up indicated that she was fine. Half of his task completed, he returned to locating the other combatant.

Trunks was climbing out of a small crater that formed as he hit the ground full force. He didn't know she was capable of such power. His breath caught in his throat as he looked for Saturn: he hoped that blast didn't hurt her. He sighed in relief: she was okay. He looked up at Goku, he was smirking at him glancing behind himself he saw just how lucky he was: the barrier was less than a foot away.

Deciding that it was enough of a break: Goku held up his hand. "Resume fight!"

Saturn snapped back to reality. For some reason, another dizzy spell hit her: probably because of the sword's erratic behavior. She gasped as she watched Trunks charge towards her, she jumped to the left at the last moment, letting the teen fly past her.

Trunks skimmed over the fence, swerved upwards and came back for another turn. He smirked to himself as he watched his opponent prepare herself for another dodge. He judged her movements, and determined where she would be just as soon as he...

Disappeared!

Too late!

Saturn jumped, as her intent was, just as Trunks fazed out before her. She gasped as she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist, holding her tightly but carefully. "Got you, Kitten."

She smiled and looked over her shoulder to the smiling Trunks. "You think you're so clever, don't you?" She felt her feet leave the ground as Trunks lifted her up and started to fly over the out of bounds. "Now what are you trying to do?"

"I'm going to set you down here. I don't want to hurt you."

"Well, that all seems nice and gentlemanlike, but you've forgotten something important."

"And what's that?"

"If you are going to hold a girl, make sure you know what and who you've got." And with that, a crescent moon appeared on her forehead, becoming brighter by the moment.

Trunks closed his eyes as the light emitting from the girl he was holding became brighter, making his eyes sting. The urge to cover his eyelids overtook him as the thin skin that covered the two blue orbs proved too little a shield from the intense light. 'This is worse than Tein's solarflare!' He thought, as he felt the source of his pain leave his immediate area. 'Now what?'

Two hands seemingly appeared on his shoulders, and forced him down. He gasped internally as he felt his feet hit the dirt below. It was over. He had lost. The bright light slowly diminished, and he felt two gentle arms hugging his neck. His ears picked up the soft patter of footsteps and he dared to open his eyes.

He heard Goku before he saw him, as he approached. "Well that was a shocker. Thought you had her there for a while, Trunks."

The violet haired teen shook his head fiercely, his sight slowly returning. "I thought so too, the sneak." He chuckled to himself, to show he was kidding.

"Yeah, well, I just outsmarted you. Maybe if you thought before you charged into battle, you would expect things like that." Rose said as she returned to her normal self, smiling as she was playing too.

"Well, I'm going to get back to the others and let them figure out the other matches." Goku said as he turned away from the slightly blushing couple. "Rose, you won't have to fight anyone else except who wins overall."

The black haired girl nodded as she watched Goku's retreating form. "Hey, you want to go and relax for awhile?" She asked her companion who was slowly standing. He offered his arm to her, and she gladly wrapped hers around him as they began to walk.

Trunks looked at Rose with a look of affection, though he tried to hide it as best he could. He failed miserably.

Rose blushed and looked down. "You know, I've never been called 'kitten' before…"

"I'm sorry, if it makes you uncomfortable…"

"No." She looked into his eyes and smiled. "I kinda like it." She leaned onto his arm slightly. "Oh, and by the way. Thank you."

He raised an eyebrow to the girl as he opened the back door and held it open for her. "Thanks for what?"

"Letting me win."

A look of total shock overtook the teen's face. 'How did she know!'

Smirking to herself, she walked on ahead, who couldn't see the fakeness in Trunks' fighting? He could have finished her off at any moment, but he chose not too. He didn't want to defeat her, showing her friends that she did have weaknesses that could be exploited. She frowned slightly. 'Bob knows I have weaknesses, and until recently, he knew my biggest weakness.' She looked back to Trunks. 'He helped me through that vital point. I finally got over the deception that he put me through, and I have Trunks to thank.'

Subconsciously, her footsteps slowed and Trunks fell into step beside her. She braced herself against the wall as another dizzy spell hit suddenly.

"Are you okay?" Trunks asked full of worry.

Slowly, she nodded. "Yeah, just dizzy." She began to walk again, but stopped as a sharp pain in her chest took her breath away. A murmur of pain escaped her lips as she fell to her knees, tears welling in her eyes. The shouts of worry from beside her were muffled and confusing, all she could hear was her erratic heartbeat in her chest. 'What's happening to me?' She thought desperately as she grasped the hand that held her. "Trunks?" She whispered.

The response was not heard however, as everything around her went black and she slipped into the icy depths of unconsciousness.

Ends chapter 85

Runs for life I know I know, I did a really bad hanger there, I'm SORRY! Please forgive me?

Oh yeah, and the reason why I said Trunks would have to have let Saturn win was pretty obvious. Even though Rose is my OC and is very strong, the DBZ gang is stronger by an impressive margin. Also, Trunks was trying to be romantic a little I guess you could say and he didn't have the heart to just throw the girl he cares about away like a rag doll.

Now, Vegeta on the other hand, wouldn't mind defeating all of the Sailor Stars in one attack. However, that's NOT going to happen, 'cause I said so. So there.

Okay, now if I get a few, preferably more, nice reviews I'll do my best to update this ASAP. Till then! Ja Ne!
