Part 5: "The Saiyan Saga" (V)
Soon, Usagi and Goku arrived at their destination: the end of Snake Way. However, it was not the last thing they had to do, in order to reach their ultimate destination…
"Is that King Kai's Place?" Goku said, as he careens his head to stare at the tiny world.
"Well, there is only one way to find out," Usagi said, as she tucks the tome into her waistband of her shorts. "You ready?"
"I'm ready," Goku said.
"Now, be careful," Usagi said. "The moment you hit that planet's gravitational pull, you might have problem with your landing."
"Aw, it's no big deal," Goku said. "Here I go-!"
SPRUNG!
Goku leaps into the air, and towards King Kai's Place. As predicted, the change of gravity did a number on Goku's descent.
"Ahhhhh!" Goku yelled.
SPLAT!
"Goku!" Usagi said, as she floated to her son's side. Immediately, she noticed the difference in the gravitational field of this small world…
"Nice going," said a nearby voice in a sarcastic manner.
Usagi looked up to see a short man who clearly wasn't human. In fact, he was a creature known as a "Shin-jin", a powerful being who were of a very old race.
"You?" Usagi said.
"Well, you're here," said King Kai of the North, as he steps out of his cottage. "And I take it that Izanagi is here with you?"
"…"
Meanwhile, back on Chikyuu, at Capsule Corp, Bulma was fretting over a prone Usagi…with Ranma.
"And she's been like this for a month," Bulma said with worry. "I've tried everything possible to wake her up..."
"Hmmm," Ranma said. His time with Gohan was cut short when Bulma, out of desperation, sent word to him about Usagi's physical state.
"Have there been any physiological changes while she was like this?"
"Well, I do detect increase kinetic activity in her nervous system," Bulma said, as she brings up Usagi's medical chart. "Even though her mind is gone, there is activity taking place."
"Just what I thought," Ranma said.
"What? What is it?"
Ranma tells Bulma that Usagi could be engaging in Astral Projection, using the power of her mind to travel to the Other World.
"I did not know such a thing was possible," Bulma said.
"Well, it's a lot more common than you think," Ranma said. "With sufficient training, even you can project your thoughts as a phantom being."
"Wow. I did not know that…"
"Well, I wouldn't worry about Usagi," Ranma said. "She can handle herself as an astral projection. Still, keep me appraised on her physical condition, if any changes occur."
"Okay, I'll do it," Bulma said with a nod of her head. "I just hope that wherever Usagi is, she'll come back soon. After all, we still have that booster serum to work on…"
Back at King Kai's Place, Kai reluctantly takes on Goku and Usagi as students, mostly because of Kai's old alliance with the legendary Izanagi, who fought alongside other gods against a great menace that wiped out most of the old gods in the Universe…
"Alright, since you caught both Gregory the Cricket and Bubbles the Monkey, I will train you two in my Art," Kai said with a yawn. "However, while you are here, I expect chores to be done during training sessions."
"Well, if that's all, then it shouldn't be a problem," Goku said enthusiastically.
"That's because your mother will be doing the housework and cooking."
"Hey!" Usagi said. "Just because I'm a 'chick' that doesn't mean I'm the only one to help out around here…"
Pause.
"Goku, YOU are doing the chores, while I do the cooking."
"Aw, Mom!" Goku said. "That's what Chi-Chi does!"
"Then you don't get to eat."
"Fine, fine…"
"Okay," Kai said, after he giggled at Goku's dressing down. "I will now teach you…the Kai Ken. This style will allow you to harness energy from within and without quickly. However, it is true purpose is to prepare you to learn the ultimate technique: the Spirit Bomb."
"The Spirit…Bomb?" Goku said, as he flexed his limbs. Both he and his mother were getting used to the planet's gravity field, which was ten times that of a Class M planet…
"If you successfully learn the Kaio Ken first, then I will teach you the Spirit Bomb," Kai said. "Until then, we eat first, sleep for the night, and then begin training in the Kaio Ken…"
"Well, I do hope you have cable," Usagi said. "I don't want to miss out on my soaps."
Kai merely rolled his eyes in reply, thinking that it'll be a long training session indeed…
Meanwhile, back on Chikyuu, at Capsule Corp, Bulma continues to monitor Usagi's vitals.
"Amazing," Bulma said. "Not only is there increased synaptic activity, but I swear that Usagi is getting leaner. In fact, she looks like she getting a six-pack or something. It's as if whatever she is doing some place else is having an effect on her body here on Chikyuu-"
Suddenly, a commando SWAT-like team crashes through the window and into Usagi's room.
"What the-?" Bulma said.
"We are the Sons of the Red Ribbon Army!" said one of the masked men. "We heard that the mother of our hated foe, Goku Son Saotome, was here. And we aim to kidnap her and hold her ransom until Goku's father shows up…"
Pause.
"And then we'll kill them both to avenge the death of our leaders!"
"You can't come in here!" Bulma yelled. "Get out of here!"
"Oh, screw it!" said the mask man. "Open fire!"
At that moment, the Sons of the Red Ribbon Army discharged their weapons at Bulma.
"Ah!" Bulma yelled in fright.
RATATATATATATATA-!
However, soon enough, Bulma realized that she wasn't getting shot.
"Oh?" Bulma said, as she opened her eyes to see that Usagi was using her body, with her aura being visible, to block to bullets while still unconscious.
"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz," Usagi said, as she stuck out her hand, twirled around, and transformed into her Sailor Moon guise.
"How is she even doing that?" Bulma said.
Sailor Moon then took off her tiara, flips it, changes it for her Moon Tiara Attack, and throws it like a boomerang.
FFFT-FFFT-FFFT-FFFT-FFFT…
The glowing discus that was her tiara was aimed true, as it knocked the machine guns out of the hands of Sailor Moon's attackers.
"Wha-?" said the attackers' leader in surprise.
Once the tiara returned to its owner, Sailor Moon placed the tiara back on her head, then, using Elemental Air Bending, she blew the attackers out of the window.
WOOSH!
"Yahhhhhhh…!"
CRASH!
Bulma quickly run to the window and looks down.
"Bulma, I didn't know you had any guests today," said Bulma's mother, as she looked up from her garden.
"Oh, Mother," Bulma said, noting how ditzy her mother can be at times…
Bulma then turned her attention back to her friend Usagi, who was already back in bed, as well as back to normal. She wondered if Usagi had intervened, or if her body had a self-preservation aspect to it. Hopefully, Usagi will return from wherever she was at the moment, and make sense of what had just happened.
