Fly
Being Sailor Moon was hard. One would think that being a beautiful and powerful guardian was easy.
But that was a lie.
Here she was, holding onto a rusty pipe as her body dangled in the air, hoping to not fall 300 meters down from Tokyo's new skyscraper. One of the monsters attacked this place on its inauguration day. Such bad luck they had.
The monster was easy to defeat since it was weak and she had only needed her Moon Twilight Flash and her Moon Tiara Boomerang to beat it. However, the powers of the creature were corrosive and it made all the new metal incredibly rusty and weak.
And she went off and walked on one of the contaminated floors without noticing. She really was an idiot.
Thankfully the people already had evacuated, so she was the only one there.
That was a bad thing now, as she was alone and barely holding on.
Crack.
That sound! Is something crack-
The pipe broke and Sailor Moon could feel herself fall.
She screamed.
Goku was getting used to his new life, helping in the construction industry by carrying heavier materials with ease. He was with the construction crew, getting ready to begin to build a new edifice while hearing their boss' music that was coming from his inseparable radio.
That's when he heard the screams.
"What-"
"ATTENTION! THE NEW SKYSCRAPER WAS ATTACKED. DO NOT ENTER IT!" a voice from the radio of his boss could be heard, the music coming to a stop abruptly.
Goku tensed up.
Wasn't Serena's high school group going to the inauguration of that place?
Goku looked around. There was chaos on the streets and his boss was distracted. Was he going to be able to pull off Serena's escaping ways this early? Looking at the situation, yes.
After all, he was more of an action fan, and being in Tokyo made his boring days more interesting.
He began to run to an alley where no one was. There he touched his wristband and his clothes changed in an instant to his gi.
Goku was gone and in his place was the warrior named Kakarot, the recent fighting partner of Sailor Moon. He smiled as he headed out, ready to go where the people were running away from.
It was finally time to fly.
He took off and flew towards the sky, feeling the air against his body as he went through the clouds.
He missed flying a lot.
Looking below him, he saw people were running away from a white big building.
That's probably the place!
He began to fly lower and as he touched the ground of what was supposed to be the parking lot of the place, he felt uneasy.
Everything was too quiet. Maybe he'd arrived too late.
There were pipes and broken cement everywhere. Was Sailor Moon here? The place looked desolated.
He began to concentrate, trying to get a hold of her ki.
"AHHHHHHH!" he heard a loud female scream.
Kakarot recognized that voice in a heartbeat. He looked up and saw her, not noticing when he began to fly or how fast he was flying towards her.
He was that worried.
Sailor Moon was falling fast. She was feeling more and more scared as the air rushed past her. It was only a matter of seconds before she'd hit the ground.
Did her guardian powers also heal a broken body?
She didn't want to know.
She closed her eyes, praying for the landing to not be so hard. But even she, with her very optimistic attitude, knew that it was wishful thinking.
"Hey! Are you alright?"
Hands. Hands were carrying her. Did she already die?
"HEY! SAILOR MOON!"
She opened her eyes slowly.
"Ka-Kakarot?" she looked at him. He was holding her in his arms and she could feel herself blush.
"Damn, we really need the communicator update," Kakarot said. "You almost hurt yourself badly."
"Yes, this time they attacked here and…" Sailor Moon noticed for the first time how different everything looked behind him, the buildings where small and-
She looked below her. They were flying and he wasn't using the Flying Nimbus.
Sailor Moon freaked out as she held Goku tighter.
"Woah!" Kakarot called out, being caught off guard by her sudden closeness.
"Kakarot, can we descend please?!" Sailor Moon shouted, refusing to see how far from the ground they were again.
"Sure," he said, confused by her reaction as he flew towards the park with her in his arms.
He descended slowly as they arrived at the park, his boots touching the grass and he could feel Sailor Moon shaking.
"Are-are we still flying?" she managed to ask and Kakarot was surprised at how- what was the word? Cute, right?
Well, at how cute she was being.
"We have landed," he said as he put her down carefully, noticing that this was the first time he carried her like this.
When she touched the ground, she stumbled into his chest, feeling her legs being weak after everything that had happened. Surprisingly he didn't pull away, instead holding her close.
"So… you can fly now?" Sailor Moon asked breathlessly and a bit dizzy. Her heartbeat was going crazy and her face was burning.
"Oh yeah," Kakarot said with a smile. Now that he thought about it, he never told her he could do it or she didn't have the opportunity to see him doing it. "It was one of the things I learned before coming here."
"I see," she replied, a bit more relaxed now. "You need to tell me more about the things you learned. They sound interesting."
"They are," he didn't mind their position. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I think my legs and arms gave out after holding myself for quite some time," she said with a little smile as she put her forehead against his chest. "The fear of falling and the unexpected flight made me a bit dizzy, that's all."
"So, it's also my fault?" he wondered quietly. "The dizziness?"
"No. It was more the way it happened because I'm pretty sure I'd have loved to see the sky," she smiled more. "You know, without the duty thing."
"I can still take you to see the sky."
Sailor Moon giggled, feeling her cheeks burn, but Kakarot couldn't see her face.
"I'd love to but can we wait until a few days pass?" she asked in a relaxed tone. "I'll need a breather from heights for a while."
"Sure."
"Thank you, Kakarot," she almost sighed, liking the warm atmosphere they both were in.
She felt grateful for having a relaxing moment like this after a life and death situation.
