Epilogue
"Moon Spiral Heart Attack!"
Sailor Moon blasted away the enemy and the scouts breathed a sigh of relief. This one had been stronger than the rest and they knew that Prince Diamond was only going to get worse the longer Usagi refused him.
"Good job," a male voice came from the shadows. Tuxedo Mask stepped forward slipping one arm around their leader's shoulder and hugging her against him. She leaned into him tiredly as her gaze swept over her scouts assessing their injuries.
"Thanks Endy, I swear they are getting stronger." She turned to look at the blue haired Sailor Mercury. "Ami my memories of the past are still fuzzy do you think if Luna did her little mind trick again we would remember something helpful about Diamond or how to defeat him?"
Amy laughed lightly, "I'm not sure it works like that Usagi. I think we will just have to wait for everything to come back."
"Ugh, I hate waiting." She pouted before her eyes brightened with an idea. She turned to Tuxedo Mask with a smile, "when do you see Setsuna again? Maybe next date night you could take a little trip to the past? Huh?" She nudged her friend hopefully only to look disappointed when he shook his head.
"She's busy at the gates, you know that. And she has told us before. No more meddling."
Just as the petite blonde was about to further argue her point three strangers abruptly landed in their midst. The Scouts immediately took up defensive positions around their leader while Endymion stepped slightly in front of the former Princess of the Moon.
"Umm, hello. We thought we felt some sort of battle going on here and came to check it out." One of them stood out in front. He was a little younger than the others it seemed and had an open, kind expression. The same could not be said for his companions.
"And were you coming to help us, or..?" Sailor Mars stepped forward and indicated the pile of dust that was all that was left of their enemy.
"Well we weren't quite sure yet," one of the other men answered with a smug smirk.
"Uh, he's just joking. I'm Goku and this is.. well, my brother Raditz. We sort of just met and this is Vegeta." He indicated the third man who was standing off to the side arms crossed and a seemingly permanent scowl etched on his face.
A sudden oath from Tuxedo Mask turned everyone's attention to him. He had been studying Vegeta and Raditz intently. "Not you again," he muttered mostly to himself.
"I'm sorry rose boy, do we know you?" Raditz scowled at the dark haired man who was only shaking his head in disbelief.
The Scouts looked then to their leader who had stepped out from behind Endymion to take a look at the newcomers. Her eyes flitted quickly past Goku and Raditz to fix on the shorter, scowling man. She stepped closer to him and watched a muscle in his jaw flex at her approach. Her guardians didn't know what to do, torn between pulling their princess away and the feeling that this was something they needed to let happen.
Usagi reached out to the man for a moment before pulling her hand away.
"You don't remember me?" Her voice was soft, full of longing. Vegeta's dark eyes bore into hers but he only shook his head. She smiled anyway.
"I'd like to introduce you to my cat."
