[Iiriele starfire, thanks for the reveiw! I'm at the Tower of Babel in the
game (I came SO CLOSE to beating it and my memory card wiped) so, most of
these events are purely from memory, so bare with me. And
xing@fanfiction.net (or Michi-chan or whoever you are! n.n;;) that's a
habit of mine. I like making cliffhangers. It keeps you people coming back!
I hope you guys reveiw again! They encourage me to keep writing!!)

'Hnn.....my head....' She thought. She kept her eyes closed as she tried to figure out where she was. The first thought to run through her head was she was dead again. She heard whispering voices around her. They were familiar. Had that foolish action cost her new friends their lives as well? 'I'm...a failure, aren't I?' She thought once more. She stirred some as she heard one voice shush the others.
"Serena?" Bart's voice asked. Opening her blue eyes she winced as a bright light struck her face. As it was moved away she looked around and noticed she was in another medical room. Bart and Fei were standing over her, worried expressions on their faces. After what had happened, this girl taking out a Gebler Gear alone, they hoped she'd be alive to explain what she did.
"Huh? I'm not dead...?" She asked. Bart smiled.
"Yes! Thank God you're alive! Serena, that was AMAZING! Y...You took that Gear out with ONE Ether attack!" Bart said excitedly. Serena blinked at the word. 'Ether'? No, Serena used Ki and Lunarian Magic. She didn't comment on it though. She rubbed her head and felt her birthmark, the Royal Moon Symbol. Rubbing the spot a few moments, the symbol faded and vanished. It hidden again, she sat up, groaning. She'd suffered multiple injuries. When she'd landed on the ground, the most severe was a large cut on the side of her face. Citan had reassured the others that she'd been retreived and treated quick enough to prevent it from scarring at all.
"Serena, what did you do?" Fei asked. Weltall had picked up the same readings that Bart had and he couldn't make sense out of them either. She placed a hand over the Silver Crystal which was cooling down from that stunt. What could she say? She inhaled and exhaled deeply as she looked to the three.
"It...it's a strange power I have...I don't know why I have it, I just do." She explained to them. Citan looked to her, confused.
"Yes, but something had to amplify that attack. Gebler Gears are massive. No one could have that ammount of strength." He reasoned. She chuckled nervously.
"It...must've been....an electric attack?" She tried. Citan noded at that. It just might've been. The gears could only detect the Ether content. Not the element of it. Bart looked to her once more. He...had something to ask her. He hoped she'd agree.
"Hey...Serena?" He began carefully. She looked at him with an almost curious expression. That was a familiar tone. Gohan used it once when he asked if she could protect Goten. It was the 'favor' tone of voice. She blinked.
"I've um...I've got a favor to ask of you." He said. She nodded some as Citan and Fei listened in. He bit his lower lip and kept talking.
"See, I've got a cousin...her name's Margie...and she's in Bledavik. She's being held prisionar by that bastard Shakkan. So I was wondering if..." He said before Serena raised a hand, indicating him to stop talking. He looked sad when she did so.
"Don't say another word Bart. Of course I'll help you rescue her." She said, smiling a little. Bart's face went happy when heard what she said. He let out a laugh of gratitutde.
"You will?! Thanks Serena! Thanks a lot!!" He shouted. He ran out of the room calling for Sigurd. She looked at the door and spoke to Citan and Fei.
"Well...he's happy..." She said. Both nodded. She looked around and reached into her bag to grab her capsule pack. She opened it up and went through the list of twenty capsules. About six or seven were blanks, or empty capsules. The rest had items like houses and clothing. She came to capsule nine, which was labeled 'Senzu' on the list on the lid. She had a a full bag of Senzu's thanks to Korin. She pulled it out and closed the case, returning it to her bag. She then clicked the top and tossed it to the foot of the bed as she watched it open and the bag popped out. She took one of the hard beans and returned the bag to the capsule before putting it back and returning the case to the backpack. She popped the Senzu into her mouth, chewed a few moments, and swallowed. Within seconds she began to unwrap the bandages. Citan went to stop her, but gasped. The wounds and bone fractures had vanished. Instantly.
"Serena how did you...?" Citan began. She looked to him.
"Senzu." She replied. He blinked.
"'Senzu'?" He repeated.
"Uh-huh. Just one cures you of any injury you've got, gives you back all your energy, AND fills you up!" She said, smiling. She had the large ammount due to the Silver Crystal. They were nessesscary.
"Like Omegasols." Fei said. Not having a CLUE to what an 'Omegasol' was, she nodded some. She didn't want the 'look' to come from either of these two. She got up and stretched, looking around. She turned to the two left with her, as she took her heavy bag.
"C'mon Fei! Let's go explore!" She said cheerfully. Before he could protest, she had gripped his hand and ran out, dragging him behind her. Citan smiled a little as the two ran on. He went to clean the medical area.
"Why do I have to come?" Fei asked. Serena looked around the area, holding his wrist.
"Because I'm not getting lost alone." She told him. He groaned, which earned him a smack to the gut.
"Be quiet!" She warned. They walked on, making it to the gun room. There was a long dining table on one side, a bar next to it, and an open lower area. Serena jumped down, not bothering with the stairs. She landed on her feet, surprising Fei pretty badly. Was she crazy? Did that hit do something worse? She called up to the boy.
"Hey Fei! Come check it out!" She yelled, and ran into one of the rooms. Her things had been moved to this room, indicating it to be hers now. She smiled and sat the bag down on one of the three beds as Fei walked in. The teen smiled happily, thinking of ways to decorate it.
"Wow. Your own quarters." Fei commented. Serena nodded and spun around, her pigtails twirling with her.
"I know! This is GREAT! I don't have my own room...back home..." She said. Home. What would everyone say to her when she got back? She had stolen a Dragon Radar, taken the Dragon Balls, stolen some of Chichi's clothing, attacked Vegeta...if she got home, what would happen? She said 'if' due to the fact, she didn't know who Terra was in this time. Her Power Level could have greatly varied in the short 2,000 years. 'What am I going to do? What CAN I do? They're going to New Namek right now probably to wish me back to this time. No. I can't go back. I have to find the Animates and protect my friend.' She thought, stubbornly. Fei didn't notice the change in voice tone or he didn't bring it up.
"Serena...I'm gonna go talk to Doc and Bart." He said, wandering out. Shaking her head some, she got the 'what-ifs' out. She went to her bag and pulled the capsule pack out and looked for the number that said 'Stuff' on it. Number Five. She pulled it out, clicked the top and tossed it into the center of the room. It opened, a dresser with a mirror and a large clear storage tub popped out in seconds. She began to work, pushing the dresser against the back wall. She opened the tub and in it sat all her posters. She selected a few to put up next to the bed. The Three Lights, Amara and Michelle, and of course a Tenkaichi Budokai poster that had Terra and Omega on it, listing them as the top two competetors in the adult division. She posted them and slid the tub under the bed. She decided to change into her weighted Gi. She grabbed the black boots, white pants and large top and pink undershirt and sash. She picked her short sleeved one this time. It was pretty hot and she didn't like sweating. She stretched her arms and walked out of the room and up the steps. She felt around for Bart's familiar Ki. She found it, above her. Walking up to the elevator, she entered and rode it up. She exited and walked into the Bridge. Sigurd turned to her.
"Hello Miss Serena. The Young Master says you've agreed to rescue Miss Margie." He said. Serena gave a nod and smiled.
"Of course!" She told him.Sigurd smiled back.
"Thank you." He said.
"It's no problem. Really." She admitted. What kind of 'Champion of Justice' would she be if she refused to help people? A bad one. Bart was happily smiling as he gave the order to launch the Yggdrasil.
"Yggdrasil?" Serena asked. He turned to her.
"That's the name of this ship. I'm a Desert Pirate." He admitted to the girl. She merely shrugged. It didn't bother her. Hey, when you're a princess from the Moon who fights evil and becomes queen in a thousand years, not much catches you by surprise. She sat down against the railing on the elevated part of the bridge and watched everyone. It would be a few hours before they got there...
~~~2,000 Years In the Future
"I can't believe what Serena did!" Gohan said, pacing. Serena NEVER did stuff like this. She had never even seen the Dragon Balls before, so why did she suddenly want them? He and his father had just returned from New Namek. Their Dragon Balls would be ready in a couple of weeks, so they had to patiently wait.
"We can even find out her wishs. What happened?" Goku wondered aloud. They had only heard her words just before the pink cloud opened above her and sucked her up.
"She said 'Take me 2,000 years before'. Does that mean she's managed to time travel so far into the past?" Gohan asked. Both were in the woods where Serena had made her wishes.
"Without a time machine, is it possible?" Goku asked. Gohan didn't think so. Besides, the other Trunks had only managed twenty years before his fuel ran low. What HAD she done? As he paced, a bright flash appeared and gently faded away, as a beam of light struck the ground. It came from the Moon. Standing before him and Goku, was a woman with silvery gray hair done up like Serena's. She had the ancient symbol of the Moon on her forehead, and four fairy like wings on her back. She also had a Halo over her head.
"Hello Goku. Hello Gohan." She greeted. She stood, maybe a head taller than Serena. Gohan blinked, alongside his father.
"Who are you?" Goku asked. The woman smiled a little and laughed.
"Forgive me. I suppose I still think people know me after a thousand years. That's right. Serena has never told you what I look like. I am her mother. My name is Queen Serenity." She said. Gohan's jaw dropped. So did his fathers.
"Queen Serenity?! Her MOTHER?!" The teen yelled. She smiled, politely giggling into her hand. The giggle turned into a laugh.
"Yes. I am her mother. Serena has requested a Moon Crystal Key to travel back in time by way of the Road of Time. The Fourth Demension. Usually such travel is forbidden, transgressions punishable by death. But Serena has a mission." Serenity explained. Both Saiyans listened to the queen.
"I was a young child during that time you see. The allience of the planets was not as strong as it is now. Only half the galaxy accepted the peace my mother promised. In fact, we had still been in negotiation with the Planet Vegeta. But I clearly remember when we traveled to that world, the world Serena is on now, I met her on the floating country Shevat. I didn't know who she was, and I only spoke to her for a few moments. "But I still remember it. She kept her hair braided, obviously reccognising the Silver Crystal my Mother held. She dressed like a fighter and I was amazed to see a woman who didn't wear a dress. She smiled at me and asked me my name. When I told her, I didn't notice it, but the smile dulled. I suppose she knew what was happening. She said she had business, said good-bye and went after three men. Serena must remain in the past. She will return in time, I promise." The queen said. Gohan nodded a little.
"At least she's okay..."
~~~2,000 years in the past
"Wow!" Is THIS Bledavik?!" She asked, looking at the marketplace before her eyes. Bart crossed his arms and nodded. On the large hill to the north, she spotted a castle. 'That must be where Margie is. I feel a lot of negative energy in there. Hatred and evil and...ah. There it is.' She thought, looking to one of the windowed rooms to the right. That had to be the room. Of course, it could have been a cat. Serena decided against going for the direct approach. She wanted to be normal here. Dressed in more of Chichi's clothing, she wandered in a few steps before hearing something familiar. A jet. Blinking, she looked up at it. Citan did as well.
"It must be a Gebler jet." He reasoned. Serena nodded. Yea. Probably. Considering she didn't know what 'Gebler' was, she played along well. Looking back and forth at all the shops, Serena felt like she was in heaven. Sure it was a little small compaired to the malls she'd seen (Juuban Shopping District, West City Mall, and Satan City Mall), but they sold things didn't they? She wiped the drool from her mouth,
"You three go rent the room...I'm in love..." She said as she numbly walked forward, into the bazar. She looked around, mostly at the cloth and stuff. The designs were so pretty. She looked through everything, ignore all around her. As she looked around, she noticed some kids. They were around Goten's age and were playing. She went about her business, going from stand to stand. The desert sun was scorching, which made her happy that she wasn't in her long sleeved Gi. As she kept shopping, she felt Citan's Ki head her way. Before the doctor could speak however, she spoke first, never turning his way.
"Yea Citan?" She asked him. He looked amazed. It was to noisey for her to have heard him. So how on earth did she know he was coming her way? Oh well. Best not to ask now. They had more urgent business to tend to.
"Serena, we are going to take a look about the city. Will you accompany us?" He asked her. She looked up to him as she sat the cloth she had been looking at down. She gave him a light smile.
"Sure thing. This place is a lot of fun. I could stay here forever just to shop!" She exclaimed. He smiled at her. Serena was an odd girl, that was for sure. But with all that Ether and Chi inside her (Chi is just another word for Ki, people), she would be invaluable to the plan they'd just created. She walked away from the stand to join the three men.
"Okay Serena. We need to sneak into the castle, so we're gonna find a way in." Bart whispered to her. She nodded a little. She could've gotten them in. Easily. But she wanted to see what they had in mind. She gave a nod and went with them, as they toured the town. They walked from building to building, but could find no special entrance. That is, until they came to the restraunt with the fish tank. Serena was watching the fish when she spotted something. It was a brief glimpse, a tiny flash of light. She took the Silver Crystal and held it at an angle, getting the rainbow light to strike that spot as it acted as a prisim. There. Again. The red was reflected for an instant as she pulled her hand away. She turned and went to find Bart.
"Bart." She called. He looked over at her, wondering if she found something.
"Bart. Is there some kind of...um...waterway under the city?" She asked, thinking she saw a door. He went to say no, but thinking again he nodded.
"You know what? There is. C'mon. Let's get the others and go find the entrance." He told her. Both went to find Fei and Citan.
~~~ An Hour Later
"So this is the waterway?" Fei asked, kneeling down next to locked gate that kept them out. Bart nodded and looked around, making sure there weren't any soldiers nearby. They had come from nortern Bledavik where they found out a fighting tournament was going to be held tomorrow. Citan had suggested that Fei sign up and Serena had insisted that she had to sign up too. The idea was that they could both draw it out and if one was elimenated, there would be one more. After reluctantly agreeing (Serena said she could disguise herself) she signed up for tomorrow. Sailor Moon would make her appearence. She would not have her wings though, she decided that already.
"Yea, but the man dropped the key in there so no one could get in." He said. There went that plan. Groaning in defeat, the three men got up to leave, but Serena stayed behind. The lock was rusted, and there was an injury risk. So she couldn't manually break it. The crystal used to much energy and would produce a blinding flash. Cosmic Moon Power was out of the question. Untieing her sash, which was heavily weighted, she put the lock into it. She folded it in half, the folded it again until she heard the lock break from sheer strain. Opening the cloth, she dumped the remains out and tied it back around her waist, this time as a belt. She got up and ran after them.
"Guys!" She called out. Fei turned to her.
"Yea Serena?" He asked. She caught up to them and smiled, winking.
"The lock's not a problem anymore!" She cheerfully told them. Skeptical, Bart went back to see. He came back, holding the remains of the lock.
"She's right..." He said. Fei and Citan stared. Before questions were asked, Serena decided to change to topic.
"So! The compitition isn't 'til tomorrow so...let's rest!" She said, running to the inn and to the room. They eventually followed.

I could go on, but this is almost 6 pages right now. Okay, I want your opinion now. I have a few ideas on where Terra should be, but I don't know which to use. Should she be a Good Guy or a Villian? E-Mail me at Kyra Mizuno@aol.com with your ideas. If I don't get enough, I'll go with my first idea in the next chapter. I'll give you guys a week, before I post it, okay? Thanks!
'Hnn.....my head....' She thought. She kept her eyes closed as she tried to figure out where she was. The first thought to run through her head was she was dead again. She heard whispering voices around her. They were familiar. Had that foolish action cost her new friends their lives as well? 'I'm...a failure, aren't I?' She thought once more. She stirred some as she heard one voice shush the others.
"Serena?" Bart's voice asked. Opening her blue eyes she winced as a bright light struck her face. As it was moved away she looked around and noticed she was in another medical room.

No, Serena used Ki and Lunarian Magic. She didn't comment on it though. She rubbed her head and felt her birthmark, the Royal Moon Symbol. Rubbing the spot a few moments, the symbol faded and vanished. It hidden again, she sat up, groaning. She'd suffered multiple injuries. When she'd landed on the ground, the most severe was a large cut on the side of her face. Citan had reassured the others that she'd been retreived and treated quick enough to prevent it from scarring at all.
"Serena, what did you do?" Fei asked. Weltall had picked up the same readings that Bart had and he couldn't make sense out of them either. She placed a hand over the Silver Crystal which was cooling down from that stunt. What could she say? She inhaled and exhaled deeply as she looked to the three.
"It...it's a strange power I have...I don't know why I have it, I just do." She explained to them. Citan looked to her, confused.
"Yes, but something had to amplify that attack. Gebler Gears are massive. No one could have that ammount of strength." He reasoned. She chuckled nervously.
"It...must've been....an electric attack?" She tried. Citan noded at that. It just might've been. The gears could only detect the Ether content. Not the element of it. Bart looked to her once more. He...had something to ask her. He hoped she'd agree.
"Hey...Serena?" He began carefully. She looked at him with an almost curious expression. That was a familiar tone. Gohan used it once when he asked if she could protect Goten. It was the 'favor' tone of voice. She blinked.

She popped the Senzu into her mouth, chewed a few moments, and swallowed. Within seconds she began to unwrap the bandages. Citan went to stop her, but gasped. The wounds and bone fractures had vanished. Instantly.
"Serena how did you...?" Citan began. She looked to him.
"Senzu." She replied. He blinked.
"'Senzu'?" He repeated.
"Uh-huh. Just one cures you of any injury you've got, gives you back all your energy, AND fills you up!" She said, smiling. She had the large ammount due to the Silver Crystal. They were nessesscary.
"Like Omegasols." Fei said. Not having a CLUE to what an 'Omegasol' was, she nodded some. She didn't want the 'look' to come from either of these two. She got up and stretched, looking around. She turned to the two left with her, as she took her heavy bag.

But with all that Ether and Chi inside her (Chi is just another word for Ki, people), she would be invaluable to the plan they'd just created. She walked away from the stand to join the three men.
"Okay Serena. We need to sneak into the castle, so we're gonna find a way in." Bart whispered to her. She nodded a little. She could've gotten them in. Easily. But she wanted to see what they had in mind. She gave a nod and went with them, as they toured the town. They walked from building to building, but could find no special entrance. That is, until they came to the restraunt with the fish tank. Serena was watching the fish when she spotted something. It was a brief glimpse, a tiny flash of light. She took the Silver Crystal and held it at an angle, getting the rainbow light to strike that spot as it acted as a prisim. There. Again. The red was reflected for an instant as she pulled her hand away. She turned and went to find Bart.
"Bart." She called. He looked over at her, wondering if she found something.
"Bart. Is there some kind of...um...waterway under the city?" She asked, thinking she saw a door. He went to say no, but thinking again he nodded.
"You know what? There is. C'mon. Let's get the others and go find the entrance." He told her. Both went to find Fei and Citan.
~~~ An Hour Later
"So this is the waterway?" Fei asked, kneeling down next to locked gate that kept them out. Bart nodded and looked around, making sure there weren't any soldiers nearby. They had come from nortern Bledavik where they found out a fighting tournament was going to be held tomorrow. Citan had suggested that Fei sign up and Serena had insisted that she had to sign up too. The idea was that they could both draw it out and if one was elimenated, there would be one more. After reluctantly agreeing (Serena said she could disguise herself) she signed up for tomorrow. Sailor Moon would make her appearence. She would not have her wings though, she decided that already.
"Yea, but the man dropped the key in there so no one could get in." He said. There went that plan. Groaning in defeat, the three men got up to leave, but Serena stayed behind. The lock was rusted, and there was an injury risk. So she couldn't manually break it. The crystal used to much energy and would produce a blinding flash. Cosmic Moon Power was out of the question. Untieing her sash, which was heavily weighted, she put the lock into it. She folded it in half, the folded it again until she heard the lock break from sheer strain. Opening the cloth, she dumped the remains out and tied it back around her waist, this time as a belt. She got up and ran after them.
"Guys!" She called out. Fei turned to her.
"Yea Serena?" He asked. She caught up to them and smiled, winking.
"The lock's not a problem anymore!" She cheerfully told them. Skeptical, Bart went back to see. He came back, holding the remains of the lock.
"She's right..." He said. Fei and Citan stared. Before questions were asked, Serena decided to change to topic.
"So! The compitition isn't 'til tomorrow so...let's rest!" She said, running to the inn and to the room. They eventually followed.

I could go on, but this is almost 6 pages right now. Okay, I want your opinion now. I have a few ideas on where Terra should be, but I don't know which to use. Should she be a Good Guy or a Villian? E-Mail me at Kyra Mizuno@aol.com with your ideas. If I don't get enough, I'll go with my first idea in the next chapter. I'll give you guys a week, before I post it, okay? Thanks!
