Chapter 6

As the intense battle went on, you could here laughter as everyone was having a good time. Vegeta was even enjoying himself, but he sure as hell wasn't going to admit it. Rini and Gohan had teamed up and were throwing food at Chi-Chi and Goku. Chi Chi was throwing back as well and Goku opened his mouth and caught the food in it as food came hurdling towards him.

Bulma and Yamcha were throwing things at Tien, Krillan and Choa-suo. Serena and Vegeta were wrestling on the floor smearing food into each other faces. Serena had finally straddled Vegeta's waist and pinned both of his hands above his head. She smiled mischievously which made Vegeta look at her in curiosity.

She saw a big bowl of Jell-O that was the only thing that was still full. She quickly grabbed it and poured it all over Vegeta's pushed her off of him causing her to land on her back. He quickly pinned her down and grabbed some tomato sauce that was on the floor and smashed it in her face.

As the food battle continued, nobody noticed a certain someone standing in the doorway. Piccolo shook his head as he muttered 'idiots'. He cleared his throat to gain some attention, but he didn't. He did it again and nobody still turned his or her attention towards him.

"Hello!!!" shouted Piccolo in annoyance. Everyone paused in mid throw and looked towards Piccolo. The group smiled sheepishly and stood to their feet in embarrassment. The group looked around the room and saw the huge mess and than looked down at themselves. They looked back at Piccolo who still held a look of annoyance as he stared back at them.

"Um, we got to clean up.", replied Bulma. Everyone nodded his or her heads in agreement.

"So Piccolo, go in the living room and wait for us." replied Bulma.

"What ever." grumbled Piccolo as he went into the living room and sat down. Bulma turned to everyone else who was present in the room.

"I'll get the servants to clean the mess. Come on and let's get cleaned up." said Bulma as she made her way up the stairs. The group followed behind her closely. She showed the group a bathroom for all of them and let them borrow some clothes. Vegeta marched to his room with his usual scowl as he mumbled some incoherent words under his breath.

Serena and Rini went into their bedroom and soon walked into the bathroom. Serena started to put in warm water with bubbles as Rini slipped off her dirty clothes. Once the water was done Rini slipped in as Serena peeled off her clothes as well and slipped into the bath with her daughter.

The two laughed and splashed at each other until it was time for them to get out. The two dressed quickly and went out of the bedroom door and into the hallway. Serena picked up Rini and walked down the steps to see everyone there already. She turned her head around when she heard a grunt behind her. Vegeta stood behind her and than pushed past her to go into the room with everyone else.

Serena glared at his retreating back and watched him cross his arms over his chest and lean against a wall, away from everyone else. She went to a love seat, which happened to be the only one left and sat down with Rini on her lap. There was a moment of silence as everyone looked at each other.

Serena looked at the green man as thought rose through her mind. 'He's like green.' she looked him over in bewilderment. Something in his hand caught her eyes and she began to stare at it intently.

'That's my Crystal!' she exclaimed in her mind. Piccolo felt the woman's stare and looked over towards her. He watched her as she stared at his hand in curiosity before it widened in shock.

"This yours?" asked Piccolo already knowing the answer. Serena nodded her head enthusiastically wanting her Crystal back.

"Yes it's mine." said Serena. Piccolo tossed it in the air. Serena caught it in her hands gracefully and looked over the crystal carefully. She looked up a Piccolo questioningly.

"How'd you get this?" asked Serena. Piccolo looked at her momentarily before he responded.

"Found it." replied Piccolo. Serena raised an eyebrow.

"Where did you find it?" asked Serena. Piccolo mumbled some in coherent words and looked away from the young Queen.

"What was that?" asked Goku.

"I said I found it in her hand!" growled Piccolo.

"So you just took it out of my hand without my permission." replied Serena.

"I went to do research on it, damn." said Piccolo as he slouched down in his chair. Serena smiled slightly and continued to look at Piccolo.

"So what's your name?" she asked.

"Piccolo.", he replied.

"Oh, like the instrument?" asked Serena. Piccolo slouched even further in his chair as everyone began to laugh excluding him and Vegeta.

"So, Serena where are you and Rini from?" asked Bulma as she pressed her giggles down. Everything seemed to quiet down as Serena had a look of sorrow and pain embedded in her eyes. Everyone sensed the change in mood, which piqued his or her curiosity.

"Um, I'm not from around here." said Serena. "I'm not even from this dimension."

"Your from a different dimension?", asked Goku as if he were a little school boy. Serena nodded her head in a 'yes' gesture.

"Where I was from I was the Queen of the Moon. It was a very peaceful and happy time. I had my Senshi a wonderful husband and Rini was just born." said Serena as she smiled down at her little girl. Her smile soon wiped off her face as she continued on with her story.

"Three months after Rini was born, it was Endymion's; my husband and my anniversary. We were having a great time with many kingdoms from all over the galaxy there. Endymion was sitting next to me and I held Rini in my arms... Suddenly there was an explosion that shook the whole Palace." Serena paused before she continued on with the horrible event.

"Endymion sent out several guards to check what was happening. Only one returned and he was barely alive with blood covering ever part of his body. He cried out that there was an attack before he dropped to the floor lifelessly. More explosions rung out through my Palace as Endymion took Rini and I to a safe place to hide. He kissed me goodbye and ran off with my Senshi and other guards to fight an awaiting battle."

"Rini and I stayed hidden as Endymion assisted and I could hear battle cries and screams of pain as people died in honor. As my Palace was hit with another explosion the ceiling above me caved in… I covered Rini's face and moved out of the way. I could barely see anything as my vision was clouded by smoke. I tripped over something and Rini flew out of my arms. I could hear her cries of fright and pain as she hit the floor. I ran to look for her, but I kept being pushed further away from her. Soon I couldn't her hear anymore and I became afraid."

"I was than pushed against a wall and I looked into the face of my enemy. He smirked at me before he disappeared out of my sight. I blacked out afterwards as I was hit on the head by debris. When I woke up again it was dead quite. I got up and called out to anyone who could hear me, but all I got was silence. As I walked around even more I saw the bodies of my Senshi, my best friends, who I had grown up with dead. I continued you to walk and...", Serena took a slow intake of air as she had tears running down her face. She sniffled and slightly smiled when Rini hugged her for comfort.

"And I saw Endymion. I rushed over to him, as he lay sprawled lifelessly on the floor. He had his sword sticking out of his abdomen as blood covered him and the floor making a puddle. I held onto him as I heard a sound. I dismissed it at first and than I soon followed." replied Serena as she purposely skipped over the part about her suicide attempt. She took a glance at Vegeta and he could tell that she skipped over something there. Serena looked down at her hands and continued the story.

"As I drew closer I could hear the cries coming from under some debris. I took it off and it was Rini. I picked her up and went to my demolished bedroom and took my Crystal and wished myself and my daughter as far away as we could get." She finished as she fumbled with her Crystal in her hand. She wiped away her tears and slouch in her chair slightly.

"This isn't the first place I was sent to. There was another place before this one. It was engaged into a war that needed to be settled immediately. 5 boys who were in the war took Rini and me in and trained me for five years. After the war was over I left knowing that I wasn't needed there anymore." She stated as she ended her story.

Serena looked around the room to see their reactions. Chi Chi and Bulma were leaning into their husbands/boyfriends crying their eyes out. Vegeta and Piccolo held no emotions on their faces as the rest of the group stared a gaped at hearing the woman's painful past.

"Your a Queen?" whispered Krillin. Serena nodded her head yes.

"You said you could fight right?" asked Goku. Serena turned towards the man in the blindingly orange training suit.

"Somewhat, why?" asked Serena. Goku grinned from ear to ear as he sat up in his chair.

"Well we're training to fight androids that will be here in 3 years." said Goku. Serena sat up in interest.

"How do you know that their coming in 3 years?" asked Serena. Goku held his grin as he used a hand and held it to the back of his head.

"I've got connections." said Goku. Serena nodded her head accepting the answer.

"Okay, so what does this have to do with me?" asked Serena.

"Well." said Goku. "I want you to help us."

Chi Chi and Bulma's heads flew off their man's shoulder and looked at Goku in disbelief as did everyone else in the room.

"WHAT!?!?!" screeched the two women.

"Are you madd?", exclaimed Bulma.

"Goku you are not bringing that woman out there to fight some stupid machines." yelled Chi Chi. Goku winced at the shouts and even more from his wife who screamed directly into his ear.

"I can train her and when I'm done someone else can train her.", said Goku. Everyone's attention turned towards Serena and wanted to see her reaction.

"Sounds cool to me.", replied Serena.
