Act Of Love

Usagi, woke with a start and ran out of her room, crashing into Kakarot on the way. "Usagi?" Kakarot asked. Seeing her strained expression, he grabbed her shoulders, "You need to stay here for now."

"It's my brother isn't it? I know you can somehow sense each other's presence and power levels and I want you to take me to him."

"Absolutely not! He's maxing out his power completely and I don't know why."

"Because he's in pain!" Usagi snatched his shirt collar and pleaded with him. "Please Kakarot. I know I haven't been that nice and I've been cold, but I can't fly and you're the only other person than myself close to Vegeta. I'm begging you to take me to him. You said I was your friend even if I didn't want you to be mine. Were you lying?"

Her eyes were desparate with worry for her brother and she was holding nothing back in revealing how she felt. There were no masks, only truth. He gave up and held her waist, putting his fingers to his forehead. "You lucked out. I wasn't going to fly; I have a different method." They vanished out of the hall way in front of some Saiya-jins passing by. They blinked, wondering if they should stop drinking the new alien booze.

When Kakarot and Usagi appeared in the sky above where Vegeta was, all they saw was destruction for miles around and black ground. "Oh god. Are you saying you both have this power?" she asked.

"Yes. He use to destroy planets during his reign with Frieza. The Vegeta you know is very different than the one I met nearly thirty years ago."

"Put me down."

"Are you insane? He's to powerful for you to handle at this stage."

"I know, that's why you're going to power up and form a shield around us. Can you do that?"

"You sure know a lot about us all of a sudden."

"I have my full memories back, now please do it and hurry."

Kakarot landed on the ground and began powering up to Super Saiya-jin and stopped at level two. He kept a firm hold on Usagi's waist so that the shield stayed around her and himself. If he let her go, the combined powers of them both would rip her apart and he wouldn't be able to live with that. "What ever you do, do not move out of my grip unless you have a death wish."

Tears streaked down Vegeta's face, a mixture of his salty tears and blood. He had no barrier around him, letting it consume him. "Vegeta!" Usagi cried out.

He didn't hear and continued to scream as the power tore into him and the planet around him. "We have to stop him, or they won't have to wait for Frieza to destory the planet. "Let go of me, Kakarot."

"No! You'll die!"

"I don't care. No one was there for me when I needed them the most and I won't let Vegeta go through the same thing. Now do it! If I die, then I accept it and know that I tried." Kakarot looked at her eyes and gasped. He saw in her the same fire and soul he had as Goku defending the Earth so many times. Over the years, he had lost that will to know why it was worth to fight. "I trust you, just be careful ok. Vegeta would kick my ass for letting you get hurt intentionally."

Kakarot stepped away from her and flew back so that his power wouldn't add to Vegeta's and kill her instantly. She screamed as Vegeta's power lashed out at her and covered her face. Biting her lip, she moved closer to Vegeta trying to get him to see her. "Vegeta! Please, stop."

"Go away Rena."

"No I won't. You said if I wanted to talk, I could come to you any time. That goes both ways! You said I could trust you. Talk to me."

"I killed her."

"Killed who?"

"My mother! When I was born and now I couldn't save her. It's all my fault!"

"It's not your fault."

"Rena, you have no idea what I've done in the past. Leave me!"

"No. If you're going to die, then I'm going to join you. I love you Geta."

His power stopped increasing as he stared at his sister. "Have you lost what mind you have left? Why would you die for me?"

"You're all I have left. My mother is dead, my father is dead. You're the only family I have left and if you go, well then so am I."

Vegeta's eyes softened and chuckled sadly. "That's not true. I never told anyone, even Kakarot, but I had a twin sister that died in the silver alliance."

"What? That's what my mother meant. Who is she?"

"My mother is the Queen of Saturn remember. The native planet to Vegeta-sai and the Saiya-jins on it."

"Are you saying that Hotaru, the Princess of Saturn, is my sister too?"

"Yes."

Vegeta looked to the stars for an answer that he couldn't find. "I've tried to continue on living, hoping that one day things would work out, but even now, I can't get over the past. It's here right in front of me and it hurts so much."

Usagi was hurting as his power continued to lash at her, but she nummed the pain and focused on her brother. "I know how it feels. If you would only talk to me, I'm willing to tell you my story now. The whole thing. I remember who we are. Please give me the chance to see my brother again.

The next bolt of energy hit Usagi so hard that she hit the ground and cut her head open. Vegeta gasped and powered down as he knelt down by his sister. "Oh Kami. You idiot!" Usagi opened her eyes and touched his face with tears coming down her face.

"I've allowed to close myself off for so long, that I forgot the most important thing. Family and Love. I can fix things..." Usagi dropped her hand and faded into unconsciousness.

"No!" he cried. "Don't you dare leave me, Rena!"

Kakarot touched his arm and Vegeta was never so glad to see the Saiya-jin in his life. With no word being spoken between them, they teleported to the labs and placed Usagi in a regeneration tank along with Vegeta. Both were badly injured and Kakarot stood beside them.

King Vegeta was still sitting down when they came to him with the news of his future daughter and son. He numbly walked to where they were and waited for them to recover. After a few hours, he went to bed and told them to inform him when they were out.

For hours the computers beeped and the techs set them to automatic. Usagi woke first and the water drained letting her out. She shut the computer off and walked down the halls, unaware of where she was really going. Her mind had made a decision and hoped it would make her brother happy again. She found the room she was looking for and walked in to see Saiya-jins prepare the queen for burial. 'I know I shouldn't do this, because it will change history. But, I can't be selfish and let him suffer any longer.'

"What are you doing in here? Only the royal family is allowed in here."

"Please, I'm only want to help." Usagi closed her eyes and transformed into Princess Serenity, willing the silver crystal to her hands. It had been so long since she had felt it's warmth. Raising it in her hands, she closed her eyes and began to call out, "Silver crystal power! Bring Vegeta's and Hotaru's mother back to life."

A bright flash of silver exploded from the crystal and began to flow into the Queen. Nothing was happening at first, but Serenity poured as much of her energy into the crystal as she could so that her wish would be granted. The Saiya-jins in the room were about to attack when one gasped in terror. The Queen was opening her eyes and beginning to sit up. With no energy left to stand, she collapsed to the ground dying. "Be happy, Vegeta."

Eclipse looked at her hands, her face and felt no more pain. 'How did I end up here?' She looked to the floor and saw Usagi laying there, breathing her last breaths. "Oh no." The crescent moon had started to fade, but not before the Queen had seen it and the crystal. "You can't be Queen Selinity." Getting off the bed, she knelt in front of the dying princess and placed her hands over her. "I have a gift for you child." A purple light came from her hands and for the second time, the Saiya-jins were watching another mircale.

Usagi felt herself dying and was accepting it, when something reached out to her, pulling her back to the real world. She wanted to fight and sleep forever from the pain and nightmares, but the person was persistant and she accepted it. When her eyes opened, she was staring into the eyes of Eclipse. "You saved me?"

"I had to. Not only because you saved mine, but because you are the daugther of my friend Queen Selinity."

"You know Selinity?"

"Yes, but I have long since seen the silver alliance when I came here and mated with King Vegeta. I could ask him to go home and see my homeland again, but I won't do that. Who's your father?"

"It doesn't matter. By bringing you back, that will never happen now. I will cease to exist in my time line once I return."

"Why?"

"Because in order for me to be born, King Vegeta was suppose to meet my mother." Eclipse gasped in horror at the sacrifice the girl had made.

"You didn't have to do this!"

"Yes, I did. Not only for what I stand for, but for Vegeta and Hotaru. I, have at least seen my mother, but they never had that chance. Vegeta forever blamed himself for your death and tried to kill himself today."

"There has to be something we can do for you?" Usagi looked at her and smiled.

"Like what. I'm as good as dead when I return back home. Not like anyone will miss me except for Vegeta though. I'll see you later." Usagi ran out of the room and cried as she went.

"I will make this up to you Princess."

King Vegeta was unable to sleep and stared out his window, when the door opened. "Who is it and what do you want?"

"My mate." He looked behind him, not believing his eyes.

"How?"

"Thank your future daughter."

"Hotaru."

"No. Usagi."

"Is she your daugther later?"

"No. I was not suppose to be brought back and you were to mate with another apparently. Usagi made a sacrifice and willed me to come back to life so that you and her brother could be happy. She will die now unless we help her."

"What?" he yelled. "Isn't there anything we can do?"

"I'll think of something. In my entire life, I have never seen such an act of love towards anyone and she did it for someone other than herself, knowing it would kill her."

Usagi found a quiet corner in the middle of nowhere and began to sob brokenly. Her life was truly meaningless. Instead of being angry with her friends, she wanted to treasure what little time she had left with them instead. "Mother, I'm so sorry. I couldn't let Vegeta live like that anymore." Turles walked across her and the snide remark left his face as he saw the total devestation on the woman's face. She acted like the end of the world was at hand. Walking up to her, he knelt down.

With a gentle hand, he didn't know he had, he moved the bangs out of the way to see that her head was hot and sweaty. "What's wrong woman?"

"It doesn't matter. I already feel the effects of what I've done. I'll disappear and everyone back in the future will have their wish. I won't exist anymore." Her eyes rolled in the back of her head and she passed out in Turles arms.

Her body was burning with fever and he thought he saw her fade a little. "What the hell is happening to her?" He decided to take her to the doctors and met Vegeta on the way.

"What did you do to her?"

"I didn't do anything. She was crying and said that no one in the future would have to worry about her anymore."

Rei, Haruka and Hotaru came running up, pale as a sheet. "We felt the silver crystal. Did she transform?"

"What are you talking about? She was in the tank after she saved my life."

"Then why isn't she still in there?"

"I don't know."

Bardock came out of the lab, "You two are to see the King immediatly."

"I'm right here."

Bardock and Turles nearly passed out from the surprise of seeing Eclipse. "You're a live?"

"Thank the woman in your arms. She brought me back?"

The women gasped and Kakarot looked at them with curiosity. "What's wrong with that?"

"In order for her to do that she had to use the silver crystal."

"She should be fine. I healed her of that," Eclipse stated. Usagi faded in and out again and Vegeta gasped in horror.

"No she didn't! You crazy idiot, Rena!" Usagi heard him and opened her eyes to look at him.

"I hope you'll be happy now. Your mother is standing in front of you and you don't have to blame yourself for her death any longer."

Haruka sank to her knees. "What have you done kitten? You can't be born now."

"What?" Rei yelled.

Tears were streaming down the woman's face. "Don't you get it. With Eclipse alive, King Vegeta has no reason to seek another mate. Serenity isn't the child of Eclipse."

"Oh my god."

"So she's fading in and out because she won't exist any longer," Kakarot asked.

"That's right. She's dying in front of us, slowly. It could be another week before she disappears completely."

"Who's her mother?" King Vegeta asked.

"Queen Selinity of the silver alliance."

"Then let's go there."

Everyone turned to look at him confused. "Your majesty?" Bardock asked.

"You heard me! I will not let her die! There has to be a way to have her born even if I don't mate with the Queen of this so called alliance. Eclipse, does she have a child yet?"

"Not that I'm aware of."

Rei walked up to Usagi and a tear fell on her face. Usagi couldn't believe it. "Why do you cry for me Rei?"

"Because I love you, you meatball head. I know you told me not to cut you down anymore, but this is crazy. I still love you and I was going to tell you that I was going to go through the Arena and train very hard to make you proud of me. Who am I going to pick on anymore when you fall down? Please Usagi, I didn't mean the things I said back then and I want my friend back!"

"Oh Rei, I wanted to say I forgive you, but it doesn't matter anymore." Usagi gasped in pain, and sank into a coma.

"Usagi? No!" Rei began crying and collapsed to the floor to be held by Haruka, knowing that she didn't need to deal with this kind of pain alone.

"We don't have time to get there!" Eclipse shouted in frustration. "It takes a month to get to that part of space and she only has a week."

"I can do it." Vegeta looked at Kakarot hopefully. "You can go that far?"

"Yes, if I'm powered up I can."

Kakarot tranformed into Super Saiya-jin 2 for the second time that day, making Bardock and Turles blink in suprise. "Everyone grab hands and Eclipse touch my arm and focus on the destination you want to be at. Through you I can find the place we need to be, because Usagi has no ki for me to base her planet off of."

They each did as he asked and Rei, Haruka, Hotaru, Aretmis, Eclipse, Bardock, Turles, Prince and King Vegeta, and Kakarot all went to the moon to try and save Usagi from non-existence in the time line. Even Pluto can not stop this from happening, for without her parents, there is no way to avoid the disaster that was happening.

When they arrived, they appeared in the throne room, right in front of Queen Selinity and her royal guard, Uranus and Neptune. "Who are you?" Sailor Uranus shouted.

King Vegeta stepped forward. "We mean no harm. The reason we're here is to save the life of this woman, the one my general is carrying."

Queen Selinity narrowed her eyes at them. "Aren't you the same people who took my friend away several years ago?"

"Yes, they are. However, I stayed on their planet by choice when I mated with the King." Eclipse stepped out of the group and smiled at her long time friend. "I've missed you Selinity."

"Is it really you Eclipse?"

"Yes. We need to talk, my friend. It's a matter of of life and death for this woman and I owe her everything for even being here."

"You can come to my chambers with the woman, but only you and her. The others must remain here."

Turles gently laid Usagi in his Queen's arms and let the three of them disappear. "Do you think it will work?" Rei asked hopefully.

"I hope to God it does," Haruka prayed.
