Author's Note: Just a reminder that I will be refering to Kenshiro as a "she" due to his being in a girl's body. I know that this story may seem rather odd and far out there (though I think it makes more sense than to cross SM with DBZ. Why people love to cross over those two series is beyond me), but I already have the plot in mind and, hopefully, it'll make sense.
Dark Kingdom: North Pole
In the bowls of the Dark Kingdom, Queen Beryl sat on her throne with a scowl on her face. She seemed rather peeved at the moment. For a while, it seemed that Jedite's plan on Earth was going off without a hitch. Energy was coming in at a steady rate and Morga, the youma, had yet to be discovered.
Then, out of nowhere, it seemed that all that energy suddenly ceased to come, like a faucet suddenly turned right off from full blast. Queen Beryl felt Morga's life force suddenly blimp out of existence in a mere moment. Something was not right and Queen Beryl hated when things did not go smoothly.
"Jedite! Present yourself at once!"
A pillar of green flames stretched to the roof of the Queen's hall, illuminating the darkness around it in a soft, jade glow. Soon, the light dissipated to reveal what looked like a blond haired man dressed in blue military uniform. He bowed low in the presence of his queen.
"Your humble servant presents himself to you my lady." said Jedite in a silky voice.
"From what I have seen, you were forced to abandon your operation on Earth prematurely. Care to give me an explanation." replied the queen rather tartly.
"Of course my lady. While the collection of energy was coming as planned, an unfortunate turn of events occured and Morga was slain." said Jedite in a calm, silky voice though he was trembling slightly.
"I see, care to tell me how that has happened?" asked Queen Beryl.
"Unfortunately, I cannot give you much details as to who the killer was. When I felt Morga's life force disappear, I went straight to the scene. She was brutally murdered, her head nowhere in sight and her body hacked to pieces. I had to burn the remains lest her carcass attracted unneeded attention" replied Jedite with a slight quiver in his voice.
"Do you have any idea who could have done this to one of our youma?" asked Queen Beryl.
"I can think of no creature or human that would have the power to destroy Morga in such a matter. Human's possess powerful weaponry capable of slaying youma, but the firepower needed to destroy one such as Morga would be great. There was no evidence of such a firefight at the scene. Whoever destroyed Morga did so with quiet stealth and with minimal weaponry." replied Jedite, now becoming visibly nervous. He did not like speaking to Queen Beryl at long length if he could help it.
The queen seemed to ponder the words spoken to her and sat silent for a while.
Could there be some sort of interloper that is aware of our plans and is trying to thwart it? I don't think so. We have remained quiet this entire time. The only beings I can think of that could even be on to us is THEM...but Metallia has taken care of that little problem. For all intents and purposes, we should be meeting no resistance at all. Perhaps this was coincidence. Morga may have been too zealous and revealed herself in error. While Morga is strong, she could not hope to keep a horde of xenophobic humans at bay, at least, not for long. Though Jedite's report seems to indicate that only one being did Morga in. Bah! There is no need to panic. We still have the upper hand by a large margin. I'll be content to wait and see how this plays out.
Having finished her train of thought, the Queen soon snapped her sharp gaze back on Jedite and soon spoke.
"This news does not bode well with me Jedite, not well at all. However, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and simply conclude that this was mere coincidence. There is no need to panic over the death of a single youma, gruesome though her death may have been. Let us look to the future and forget this little incident. Have you new plans for acquiring energy?" asked Queen Beryl.
Jedite seemed to have relaxed considerable now that the death of Morga, his youma, was now behind them. He immediately regained his composure and spoke.
"Of course my lady. From the research I have gathered, humans are social creatures that seem to grow poor in health when left alone. One such social activity that humans partake in is "dating" and "falling in love." Such foolish emotions. However, humans dedicate an great deal of energy to this particular hobby of theirs. Gathering energy from these love struck fools will certainly be worth our while." said Jedite proudly.
"Very well then. I assume that you already have a plan in mind?" asked Queen Beryl.
"Yes, my lady." replied Jedite.
"Then be on your way then. While the energy you gathered so far has been admirable, I expect much more in the future. Pray that this scheme of yours bears fruit." said Queen Beryl in a warning tone.
"Of course."
Having secured a nearby shirt from an overdressed woman, Kenshiro was able to make her way back to her temporary dwelling, though it was already dark black cat, Luna, had followed her as they entered through the second story window.
The sight of the bed reminded Kenshiro just how tired she was. This body was really lacking in endurance and Kenshiro had a mind to think of a way to properly train her new body so that she could handle the stress of battle better.
She sat on the bed and was joined by Luna.
"Now that we are here, perhaps we can get to know each other better. My name is Luna. What is your name...your true name." asked Luna politely.
"My name is Kenshiro."
"I see, so you are a man then." said Luna.
"Correct." replied Kenshiro dully.
"If you don't mind me asking, how is it that you are inhabiting Usagi's body? Never in my life have I ever heard of such an occurrence." said Luna.
"I have no clue. The last thing I remember before being spirited away from my old body into this one was a strange dream that seems to have no meaning. Perhaps you can tell me what it means." said Kenshiro.
"Then do tell. I will be more than happy to help." replied Luna with a smile.
Kenshiro then began a small narrative describing his dream. The void around him, the gate in which he was shown and the woman's voice, so full of despair.
Luna did her best to try to put meaning into Kenshiro's dream. For a moment, it seemed that she could not recall anything.
Then, a flurry of images raced through the cat's mind. The poor cat was quite unprepared for this mental assualt and promptly fell faint for a second. Kenshiro's eyes widened a bit as she saw Luna fall to her side. She gently nudged the cat, hoping to revive her.
"Are you okay? I did not mean to cause you any harm." said Kenshiro.
Luna fluttered her eyes open before managing to gain her bearings and stood back up. She frowned.
"I...know what you are talking about however, I cannot put a name to the place you are describing. The image is in my head, but I do not know what it means either." frowned Luna.
"It is fine. I did not expect to have gained any answers at this point." replied Kenshiro. If she was disappointed, she did not show it.
For a moment, it was silent between the two. The radio, which was across the room, seemed to power up on its own as it played on the station available.
"Good evening all you love birds. If you are up tonight, then you are in for a special treat for today's edition of The Love Line. We are accepting letters from all you love birds out there wishing to send a deceleration of love to your soul mate. This letter comes from "Hopeful Haruna", wishing that she find her soul mate soon. Such an beautiful emotion love is, but so painful as well. I wish Ms. Hopeful the best of luck finding her one and only. We invite you to send your letters. If it is read over the radio, you will be receiving a free, romantic gift, courtesy of us. Until tomorrow night."
A deep, longing feeling seemed to build up from within Kenshiro's body. She could not help but listen, mesmerized by the smooth voice over the radio. Before she even knew it, her stomach had butterflies as the radio reminded her of Yuria, her wife from her past life.
Suddenly, Kenshiro felt an inexplicable amount of pain tear into her heart. Shin's betrayal, Yuria's abduction by their best friend, and then being tortured before being left for dead.
While Kenshiro had normally felt injustice, even rage, when thinking about Shin and what he had done to her life, never did she feel such an outright, terrible pain. She suddenly realized that she missed Yuria. Never before this moment did she so long to reunite with her wife and hold her close. Before she even knew it, she felt her eyes sting a bit.
"Tears?" asked Kenshiro softly to herself.
This can't be right. What are all these emotions that I am suddenly feeling right now? Why is it that I feel like I have no control over myself? The sound of that man...his voice seemed to pull at my heart and I longed to hear more of him. What is happening to me?
Luna, having witnessed Kenshiro's reaction to the radio message, voiced her concern.
"Are you alright?" asked Luna.
"I'm fine. It is just a terrible recollection of my past life before my soul was sent here to claim this body." said Kenshiro, pushing her thoughts aside.
"Tell me then. I'll be more than happy to listen." offered Luna.
Normally, in her old body, Kenshiro would remain silent and keep to herself. Her feelings were her own and she was in control.
However, being in this body seemed to muddle her sense of reason. She could not think straight. Kenshiro looked over at the cat next to her and could not help but want to confide in her. Her brain was telling her no, but her emotions, rolling through her body as a tidal wave, was telling her yes.
"The world I come from is very different from this one. There, mankind finally succeeded in destroying himself and world around him. The Earth from where I'm at is very different from this one. It is a gigantic wasteland with no oceans and very little plant life. Water is scarce. That world is populated by scum who go around ruining the happiness of others. Even in this sad world, I was blessed with one happiness, and that was my wife, Yuria. Together, we strived to make due with what he had and live a simple life together. That was all I wanted. However, my best friend, Shin, betrayed me and abducted my Yuria before my eyes. I fought him and I lost. I was tortured before being left to die. However, I survived the ordeal and for the remainder of my life, I traversed the wasteland, looking for Shin hoping to kill him and bring Yuria back to me. However...I could not complete that task." recited Kenshiro solemnly.
"Why is that?" asked Luna, who was very interested at this point.
"I was brought here, to inhabit the body of this fourteen year old. I do not know what my purpose is but even now I feel somewhat slighted that my personal agenda is now put on hold so that I can serve another's whim. I will not lie. Whoever has done this me will not meet a pretty end if I happen to come across him." said Kenshiro as she ended her narrative.
"I see. I'm sorry. I really can't say who brought you. However, I have a feeling as to what your purpose is. You see, Usagi was the chosen one. She was selected to be part of an elite group of soldiers whose lives were meant to defeat the Dark Kingdom. She was to be Sailor Moon. I'm sorry if this is no consolation to you. I'm really am truly sorry for your loss." replied Luna sympathetically.
"It's fine. I spoke so that I can clear vexing anxieties. I do not want to be pitied. However, you have piqued my interest. What is this 'Sailor Moon' supposed to be anyway?" asked Kenshiro.
"My memory is foggy at best so I can't give you a complete history lesson, but I can sense that Usagi was the chosen one. With the brooch I showed you earlier, you transform into a solider of love and justice. You are granted powers needed to fight the Dark Kingdom. However, you are not Usagi. I'm not sure if the brooch will work on you." said Luna sadly.
"Another riddle that is thrown at us. It will do us no good to despair over it at the moment. Let us turn in for the night and then focus on our agenda tomorrow when we are fresh." said Kenshiro sagely.
"O-Of course. Goodnight Usa- I mean, Kenshiro."
The next morning, Kenshiro was able to make her way to school without any problems.
She got there with ample time to spare and found, sitting there rather weary, was Naru Osaka. Seeing as she was the only person from the entire school that Kenshiro had taken the time to speak with, she went over to the ginger haired girl's desk and sat next to her.
"Man I'm beat. I tell ya Usagi love can really take alot out of you. Seriously, I was up past midnight listening to that 'Love Line' radio show. Isn't it so romantic?" asked Naru in a dreamy voice.
Kenshiro looked over at the girl and was glad that she had managed to recover from her attack a couple nights prior. To her, it seemed like she just had a nightmare.
"It was pleasant to listen to." replied Kenshiro rather dully. Any extreme emotions that she may have suffered from last night had completely dissipated and she was feeling like her old self.
"I can't believe you girls actually waste time listening to such sappy stuff. You should be doing something more constructive. Last night, I was looking at the sky with my telescope and-"
"Darn it Umino! Can you not bud into our conversation everytime we decide to talk. This is clearly girl stuff we are talking about, not that weirdo science stuff you like harping on all the time so go away." huffed Naru to Umino.
"I'm just looking out for you all is all!" cried Umino.
Naru looked like she was going to retort when the bell rang and the entire class soon grew quiet as they took their seat. However, ten minutes had passed and Ms. Haruna still had not shown up.
"Hey, Usagi! Do you know what happened to Ms. H?" asked Naru as she whispered in Kenshiro's ear.
"I have no clue." replied Kenshiro as she sat there. Seriously, she was getting really bored. She had already been educated and taught her letters when she trained under Master Ryuken. Most of the material she was going over here in school she already knew to some extent.
Soon, Ms. Haruna soon walked in, her shoulders slumped and her eyes drooping. The walk from the classroom door to the desk seemed to be a colossal task for the teacher and she soon sat down with a mighty 'poof'!
"Okay class. Anyone not present raise your hand." said Ms. Haruna in a dull voice.
Nobody raised their hand.
"Great, everybody is here then. Now, I want you all to open your books and read from chapters 1-35. I don't care what book it is, just as long as it relates to school. Now, if you all excuse me, I think I'm going to take a nap."
With that, Ms. Haruna soon slumped down on her desk and soon started to sleep.
The class murmured to itself. Naru took this opportunity to speak with Usagi once more.
"That's so weird. I've never seen a teacher fall asleep in class before. I hope we get a substitute." said Naru in a hopeful voice.
Kenshiro did not answer, however, as she felt an ominous presence in the room. It seemed to make itself known the moment Ms. Haruna stepped foot inside the class. The flower adorned on the teacher's bosom was quite beautiful, but felt eerie.
Having been taught to act on her instincts, Kenshiro got up and proceeded to make her way to the sleeping Ms. Haruna. She grabbed the flower from the teacher's bosom and held it up.
"Usagi! What are you doing? That's not yours!" cried Naru as she stepped up from her seat. The rest of the class paid neither Kenshiro nor Naru any mind. They were too busy talking amongst themselves.
Immediately Kenshiro felt her body begin to weaken and grow fatigued as her energy was being siphoned away.
Kenshiro did her best to put the flower down, but it seemed that the flower had some sort of spell over her and she did not want to put it down. Holding it, for some reason, seemed to make her feel a special sort of tingly sensation all over her body.
It was at this moment that Kenshiro realized that the flower was playing with her emotions. Had she been in her male body, she probably would have crushed the flower without a second thought. However, this teenage girl body was prone to extreme emotions and it was exactly those emotions that this flower preyed on.
Before Kenshiro could ponder the situation any further, the flower was snatched from her hand.
She felt like she got punched in the gut. Gone was that sweet feeling of happiness and bliss she was just experiencing. She turned to find Naru holding the flower and putting it down on the desk.
Kenshiro turned to Naru and almost wanted to strike her. How dare she rob her of the complete euphoria she was just experiencing?
However, the reasonable side of Kenshiro's mind kicked in and she suddenly remembered why she took the flower away from the teacher's bosom to begin with.
The martial artist suddenly realized just how close she was to falling prey to this flower's power. What was worse was that she was saved, not out of her own power, but by luck. Kenshiro cursed herself and her moment of weakness. It disgusted her.
"Usgai, I know that this flower is really pretty but if you want one, you're gonna have to write a letter to the "Love Line" and have it read. No fair taking it from other people!" said Naru with a peeved expression on her face.
"Very well." responded Kenshiro as she sat back down on her desk.
Almost on cue, Ms. Haruna woke up and stared at the class for a bit. She got up and stretched herself, giving out a loud yawn before turning to the class.
"Wow. Did I really fall asleep on you guys? Maybe I shouldn't have stayed up so late. Oh well. Anyway, open your math books to page 134. We are going to cover variables today." said Ms. Haruna as she didn't waste a beat, causing the class to groan audibly..
"Oh no! I was hoping for a sub today!" cried a student in despair.
Ms. Haruna turned over to the student and then spoke.
"The only thing you should be hoping for is whether I make you have detention today or tomorrow." growled Ms. Haruna.
The class shut up and promptly took their seats.
After class, both Naru and Kenshiro were walking back to their respective homes.
"I can't believe how Ms. H suddenly woke up like that, like it never happened. Totally weird if you ask me." said Naru.
"She is tired perhaps. She needs to sleep more." replied Kenshiro in a stale voice, doing her best to make conversation with this ditzy teenager.
"I know, but she must have gotten that flower from the 'Love Line' last night. I know I stayed up to listen to it. I'm planning on writing a letter to them." said Naru in an hopeful voice.
"You are not in a relationship, however. It would not be plausible to send in a letter." replied Kenshiro, who, to his chagrin, was starting to get into this conversation.
"Don't be a stick in the mud Usagi! I'll just have to make a boyfriend up is all!" said Naru in a proud voice.
Kenshiro did not answer as she thought back to the incident with the flower earlier.
She could not believe just how close she was to falling under the complete spell of that flower. It really began to grate on her nerves on just how fragile this body was.
Her old body had been forged from her training in the art of Hokuto Shin Ken. A body wrought of iron, capable of bringing death to those who would stand before her. Her training insured that she would not fall prey to petty mind tricks.
But she was not in her old body, she was in a body of a fourteen year old girl that experienced a range of emotions that Kenshiro was never even aware of. Either that, or she experienced the same emotions as before, but at a much higher magnitude.
Just then, Kenshiro felt herself collide with somebody.
Even though she nearly lost her balance, she did not fall down.
"Watch where you're going odango." said a male voice.
"Oh Mamoru. Don't mind her. She was spacing out is all." said Naru.
Kenshiro looked over and saw a nineteen year old young man before her. He had a cocky expression on his face.
"I hope I didn't make you cry. Why don't you run along and study a bit. I'm sure you'll need that, considering the grade you got on your last test!" laughed the older man.
For whatever reason, Kenshiro felt really annoyed at this young man's jibes and wanted to retort. However, she stopped herself. She didn't want to let her emotions get the better of her.
"Let's go Naru." said Kenshiro dully as she passed Mamoru and made her way home.
Both Naru and Mamoru stared at Usagi.
"What's up with her?" asked Mamoru.
"Don't know. She's been acting like that all week." replied Naru.
Later that night, Kenshiro sat on the her bed and contemplated on what to do.
"According to the newspaper here, they don't list 'Love Line' as part of the radio's line-up. Something fishy is going on here." said Luna.
"I see. The flowers are distributed to those who participate in this program. The flowers act on the person's emotions, making it nearly impossible for anybody with the capacity to love to throw them away. What's worse is that these flowers seem to sap the very life force of the person away. It was a good thing I got to the teacher when I did. Any longer and she probably would have ended up comatose." Kenshiro deduced.
"I say we go over to the radio station ourselves and take a look around. Perhaps we can find the ones responsible for this." said Luna.
"Very well."
It was not long before both Luna and Kenshiro made their way over to the radio station. The entrance had a security guard next to it.
Luna saw the security guard and nodded. She jumped into the air and flipped and soon produced a golden brooch and a pen.
"I don't know if these items will work on you or not Kenshiro but I need you to take the Luna pen and disguise yourself as an employee. That will be the only way we can get in. Got it?" asked Luna.
However, to Luna's surprise, Kenshiro was nowhere in sight.
"Where are you?" asked Luna as she grabbed both the been and brooch in her mouth and ran forward. What she saw surprised her.
The guard was unconscious though he was not injured. Kenshiro stood above the guard, looking at her work.
"What in the world did you do?" exclaimed Luna as she dropped the brooch and pen.
"I attempted to pass but the guard did not let me. I struck the pressure point, Suzetsu when he attempted to escort me out. Don't worry, he is not dead but he will not wake up for a while." said Kenshiro as she soon walked in the studio, leaving Luna behind.
Luna sighed before picking both the brooch and pen up and proceeded to follow Kenshiro.
They soon got to the main studio and already Kenshiro could feel her body tingle. There definitely was a foul aura here. Whoever was behind this scheme had malicious intentions.
Kenshiro opened the door to the studio, with Luna following her, and saw, to her dismay, all the people laying there, unconscious.
"Young lady, what are you doing here?" asked a brunette woman as she walked over to Kenshiro.
Kenshiro knew that this woman was not human. She exuded the same, foul aura as that monster she fought the other night.
Not wanting to waste time exchanging pleasantries, Kenshiro stuck her fist out and brought it down on the monster's head in a fierce chop that cleaved through the monster's skull like it was rubber.
Ganzan Ryōzan Ha (Mountain Splitting Wave!)
The creature screamed in an inhuman pitch as its skull was caved in. Kenshiro immediately silenced the creature as she then went forward and sent a fist crashing through the mouth of the creature, sending through the back of the creature's mouth.
The youma soon fell to the ground, dead, as it lay twitching.
Kenshiro exhaled as she finished the job, but she felt her fist throb a bit in pain. Apparently this girl's body was still rather soft. She would need to keep that in mind.
"Fro, what's going here? What's the ruckus?" said a man as he stepped out of the booth. He was tall and blonde with piercing green eyes. The same eyes that widened in surprise as he saw his subordinate dead on the ground.
"I assume that you are the master mind behind these radio messages. You have tampered with the feelings of innocent people for your own, cruel end. I will end your life here and now." said Kenshiro as she cracked her knuckles.
Jedite looked over and saw a girl, no older than fourteen years of age, however, his youma lay dead at her feet. The creature seemed to have died a gruesome death, just like his last youma.
"Haha, you really think that a human child like yourself can hope to match the power of one of the Dark Kingdom's generals?" asked Jedite as he extended his arms and started to draw out his power.
Kenshiro felt the back of her hairs stand a bit. This man was not human by a long shot and he exuded a foreign power she was not familiar with. She would win this battle, come what may.
"Atta!" roared Kenshiro as she charged.
Jedite just smiled and sighed as he levitated up and broke through the top of the studio.
"It's a bit too crowded in here. How about we fight where we can have space?" asked Jedite in a mocking smile.
Kenshiro said nothing as she jumped up in pursuit of Jedite, with Luna close behind.
"This is better. Care to try again?" asked Jedite in a mocking tone, clearly confident in his own victory.
Kenshiro was not dismayed at the man's ability to levitate. She just jumped up as she held two fingers out, no doubt planning to strike a power point.
However, Jedite simply nodded his head as he stuck his palm out and created a barrier. Kenshiro hit this barrier and was dismayed that she could not strike Jedite. She jumped back and attempted to try again.
Jedite simply did the same again, sticking his palm out, preventing the teenage girl from hitting him with a physical blow.
Kenshiro back flipped away and stared hard at her opponent as she tried to assess the situation.
What is preventing me from attacking him? The only thing that comes close to this is Raoh's immense Touki (fighting aura). However, a fighting aura does not shield its owner, it simply strikes out at a person within range without the owner having to move. This is different. While I am not harmed from contact, it seems to completely protect the one behind it. I may have to get serious.
"What's wrong girl? Don't want to fight anymore?" taunted Jedite.
Kenshiro only stared hard at her opponent, but voice behind her caught her attention.
"I need you to take the brooch and try to transform! It's the only way for you to win!" cried Luna.
"No. I will not rely on a foreign power to win this battle." said Kenshiro as she then started to breath in deep. She really, REALLY did not want to use this technique, but she had no choice.
She took a calm stance as she stretched her arms out and then brought them close to her. She drew in a huge breath and closed her eyes.
Tenryū Kokyūhō (Dragon Breathing Technique)
Jedite seemed rather intriuged by this girl's actions and waited to see what would happen.
Kenshiro suddenly opened her eyes and exhaled deeply as a deep gale seemed to whip around her. Her body was surrounded by a white aura as the top part of her clothes began to rip as her muscles started to expand.
Soon, she finished and it was then that Kenshiro knew that she had fully tapped into this body's potential.
Jedite, however, was in shock as he saw the girl before him rip her shirt before his eyes. Sure her muscles grew in size, but he wasn't paying attention to that. His eyes only focused on the two, firm breasts staring before him.
Kenshiro saw that Jedite was distracted for some reason and ran in at inhuman speed.
"Atta!" roared Kenshiro as he closed the distance between him and Jedite.
"What the-"
Before Jedite could do anything, he felt two fingers dig into his head, causing immense pain. Jedite tried to move, but found that he could not do so.
"I have managed to strike the power point, Jinchūkyoku. Once I remove my fingers, you will only have three seconds to live." said Kenshiro as she pulled her fingers out.
"What?" asked Jedite in confusion.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
Immediately, Jedite felt immense pain as his chest spit open in shallow wounds and started spew forth blood. Jedite looked in horror as he felt his left hand expand to a huge size before exploding before his eyes in a splash of green blood, causing him to scream.
However, to Kenshiro's shock and dismay, this was all the damage Jedite suffered.
What? How did this man live? He's supposed to be dead.
Jedite looked over at the girl and was in a rage.
"You bitch! It was you, wasn't it? The one who has been killing my youma? I can't believe this, you blew my hand off! You're going to pay!" roared Jedite as he levitated off the ground and charged his energy before sending a ball of blue energy at Kenshiro.
Kenshiro jumped out of the way and attempted another offensive, but was dismayed to find that she could not get past the barrier, even with this human body working at 100 percent. If only she was in her old body. She would have finished this long ago.
All she could do was dodge the shots of energy and even then, her newly acquired body was beginning to tire. She could not keep this up.
Jedite saw the girl tire before him and was preparing to finish her off with a blast of energy, but he suddenly started to get into a fit of hacking coughs. Blood started to come from his mouth and it was then that Jedite realized he could not continue this battle without endangering his life further.
"Count yourself lucky girl. You got a lucky strike in was all but it won't happen again, I guarantee it. Next time we meet, you're dead." growled Jedite in fury and pain as he soon teleported away.
Kenshiro made her way back home and got into the tub to tend to her wounds.
"Usa- I mean, Kenshiro. I want you to know that you did very well. That was one of the Dark Kingdom's elite generals. To damage him as much as you did is a feat worth reckoning." said Luna in an attempt to cheer her comrade up.
But Kenshiro was solemn.
The only reason why she damaged Jedite as she did was due to his being distracted by her breasts. While that had merit on its to catch enemies off guard, it was a very lewd way of fighting.
She did not know what it was that she was trying to accomplish here. Defeat the Dark Kingdom? Sure, she had no problem trying, but at the least let her use her old body.
Her new body was frail, weak and prone to exhaustion and irritating emotions. It was a far cry from the body of iron she once had.
She was not even sure she could even defeat Jagi in this form, the worst student of the school of Hokuto Shin Ken.
There was no doubt in her mind. She had to train. There was no way around it. If there were more enemies like that Jedite, then she knew that she needed to get stronger. That, and she needed to put aside her pride as a martial artist and accept aid when given.
"I think next time I will try the brooch. If its power is sufficient, then perhaps I shall use it." said Kenshiro in a monotone voice.
"Look, I understand that you are upset but-"
"No. My entire life I have taught on how to kill an opponent. I was sure that I struck the correct pressure points. Why that man didn't die is still beyond me." said Kenshiro.
"I think its rather obvious. You know that he's not human. Perhaps his body is different than normal humans." suggested Luna.
"Perhaps." replied Kenshiro.
That may be the case. That first monster was probably just a lucky coincidence for me that her pressure points matched that of a normal human. The second monster, I dispatched with a Gou-Ken technique, which is brute force so it would work on basically anything. However, that man isn't human. I may have struck his pressure points, but the wrong ones and my technique did not have its intended effect. Its a shame that my knowledge of Gou-ken techniques is limited to just the Ganzan Ryōzan Ha, and that attack is unreliable due to how slow it is. I know a couple of Nanto techniques, but they are nowhere near as proficient as I want them to be. If I am going to be fighting monsters, it may be in my best interest to start training on my Gou-ken and Nanto techniques.
Kenshiro soon got out of the shower and put on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt. She still was not accustomed to wearing bunny printed pajamas.
"I am going to bed Luna." said Kenshiro as she turned in.
"Goodnight." replied Luna.
Author's Note: Just want to let you all know that while I'm going to try to keep this in an episodic manner, I won't be posting ALL the episodes. Any episode I feel unnecessary I will omit. Also, things are about to change. Episodes won't end the same as they did in the anime. Anyway, hope you all enjoyed.
