Part 9: "The Saiyan Saga" (IX)

As Shin Sailor Moon's aura glowed, everyone could see that her eyes were glowing green…

"Oh, no!" Krillin yelled. "Usagi is going to become that green rage she-monster!"

"Oh, boy!" Nappa said. "Looks like we have a surprise here!"

"So it appears to be so," Vegeta said. "This should be interesting…"

However, not all was what appeared to be.

FLASHBACK!

Months ago, in the Other World, on King Kai's Planet…

"Okay, in order to begin your training in the Kaio Ken Technique, I want to know exactly what you two know," King Kai said, as he stood in front of his newest students Goku Son Saotome and Usagi Tsukino-Saotome. "Let's start with you, Usagi."

"Um, okay," Usagi said. "Well, I know a variety of techniques that take into account of my gender, of course."

"Such as?"

"Um, well, I have mastered 'Inujutsu', for starters."

"I'm not familiar with that."

"Well, um, here, let me whisper into your ears," Usagi said, as she glanced over at her adopted son.

"Really, there is not much you can surprise me, but, go ahead," Kai said, as Usagi stepped up to whisper exactly what Inujutsu was…

"Oh, my," Kai said, as he blushed. "Well, no wonder I didn't know what that was. You learned that style from demons."

"Well, it was a long time ago, King Kai," Usagi said. "It's not something that I relished on learning to master, except that it was necessary to defeat the succubus who wanted to steal Ranma away from me."

"Understandable, but definitely not useful for what you and the other Z Warriors will be facing."

"Well…it COULD be. It depends on how far Ranma is willing to allow me to go, not to mention how cute the victim- er, I mean the opponent is."

"Uh, no," Kai said as he cleared his throat. "Let's keep this fight as clean and as above board as possible."

"Okay," Usagi said with a shrug.

"So, anything else you know?"

"Well, my I started out self-taught, relying on fragments of memory of my life as the Moon Princess of the Silver Millennium," Usagi said. "All 'Sailor Senshi' had to learn basic defensive combat styles in relations to their magical attacks. Unfortunately, when I was reborn in my current life, it was largely forgotten."

"Well, I'm sure that I can help you remember that aspect of your life," King Kai said. "Go on."

"Well, the first real martial art was a course in self-defense and basic tactics at Starfleet Academy on Earth. After that, I learned the Wyrding Way from the Bene Gesserit, thousands of years in the future. Then, I learned Pankration from my time in Ancient Greece on Earth from the Amazons, the Spartans and others from that area. For a number of years, I picked up a style or technique here and there as I traveled the Universe, across time and space, with Ranma."

"I'm surprised that you never learned your husband's martial arts tradition," Kai said.

"Well, I'm not a fighting enthusiast like he is," Usagi said. "For the most part, I learned to fight in order to survive. If I did learn a style to master it, it's only because there was a reason for it, such as when someone challenge me or something."

"Okay, go on…"

"So, the only other dedicated martial arts styles that I did become proficient in were in the Big Dipper Fist, from a despot named Raoh, and the Crane Fist from a cruel master named Shen. Everything after that and between involved learning how to use weapons of a variety types, both 'modern' and 'ancient'."

"Wow, Mom," Goku said. "You seem to know a lot."

"Yeah, well, your father is more enthusiastic for that sort of thing," Usagi said with a sigh. "I rather be a good wife and mother than be a good fighter. In fact, I prefer to leave the fighting to you and your father entirely."

"Oh, I see…"

"But, it's nothing wrong with being a fighter, Goku. I just…never wanted to be that…"

Pause.

"You know, I remember when I first started my 'career' in protecting others from harm, I was SO afraid of getting hurt. Now, dealing with bad guys is like second nature to me."

"That's because you had no choice in the matter," Kai said. "But if you are to defeat these two Saiyans with your son, your husband and your allies, you will have to embrace that part of you that you don't want a part of…"

Pause.

"And I noticed that you have a different side of yourself called a 'Hulkusagi'?"

"How do you know?" Usagi said, as she is taken aback.

"I see everything that happens in this part of the Universe," Kai said. "It…kind of is my job."

"I hope you don't see EVERYTHING," Usagi said.

"I'm NOT a 'Peeping Tom', you know!" Kai said defensively. "Nevertheless, I know about your inner rage she-monster. And in order for you to master my techniques, you will have to embrace it."

"But…how? I'm barely myself when I am 'her'."

"That is where I come in. I will help you temper your inner beast, so that you can use that power for good."

"If that's true, then I will be ever grateful," Usagi said.

"Then, we can begin your training in earnest," Kai said with a smile, before turning to Goku for his talk…

END FLASHBACK!

As everyone watched with interest, Sailor Moon activated her power by tapping into the potential energy of her inner she-monster.

"Kaio Ken!" Sailor Moon said, as her aura flared.

FWOOSH!

"Whoa, Vegeta!" Nappa said. "Her power levels have increased to…TWO Radditz!"

"I am perfectly aware of that, Nappa," Vegeta said, as he tapped into his scanner. "If you're not careful, you might let a woman defeat you."

"As if I'm going to let THAT happen!"

Sailor Moon grinned. Inwardly, she was nervous about using the Kaio Ken by tapping into Hulkusagi's power. According to King Kai, the Kaio Ken Technique allows the fighter to double his or her potential power, which is great for her son Goku. The bad thing for Sailor Moon is that the more potential energy she acquires from the monstrous half, the more likely she could transform into Hulkusagi, and completely lose control over herself. If she had more time to train, Sailor Moon could learn to tap into her normal sailor senshi abilities, but, given the nature of the opponents that the Z Fighters would have to face, there wasn't much time to do so. Hence, Sailor Moon took a short cut to achieve the power she needs at the risk of her sanity…

"Good job, Usagi," Ranma said, as he gets into a fighting stance. "It's time to use MY new technique: the Hidden Lotus."

"Sounds a bit 'soft' to me," Piccolo said.

"Soft, huh?" Ranma said. "There are eight chakra points in the human body, points that regulate chi flow. When we first study martial arts at a master level, we only tap the first chakra point. Over the years, I've learned to tap into all eight chakra points. However, my new technique allows me to 'mainline' all eight chakra points without resistance…"

Pause.

"Right now, I've already opened the first 'gate' of the Hidden Lotus, in preparation for this fight," Ranma said. "Now, observe, as I open the 'gate' of the second chakra point. Hidden Lotus: Second Gate Opening!"

FWOOSH!

Ranma's battle aura flared, as he increased his power…

"Whoa!" Krillin said. He then looked at himself.

"And…I had to use a booster serum, too…"

"Vegeta, he's two Radditzs, too," Nappa exclaimed.

"Well, then, don't just stand there!" Vegeta yelled. "Do something!"

"Oh, right!" Nappa said, as he opened his mouth to utilize his "Cannon of Destruction Attack".

BA-FWOOSH!

Ranma squint his eyes, as he embraced what was about to happen. At the last minute, Ranma increased his access to his potential power, in order to beef up his defenses.

"Third Gate Opening-!"

BOOM!

The force of impact drives Ranma through the air, and into the side of a mountain.

CRACK-BAM!

"Ranma!" Sailor Moon exclaimed.

"Grandpa!" Gohan yelled. He then looked at Nappa.

"You…bastard!" Gohan yelled, as he cupped is hands. "Special Power!"

Gohan discharged a massive energy wave that sailed towards Nappa.

"You got to do a lot better than THAT, kid!" Nappa yelled, as he bats away Gohan's attack. "Yah!"

BLAM!

"Speak for yourself!" Krillin yelled, as he creates his own attack: Destructo Discus. "Ha!"

"What?" Nappa yelled, as he narrowly avoids getting cleaved in half by one discus, although his face had gotten cut up by another. "Argh!"

The distraction that Nappa felt was enough to allow Piccolo to act, as he used the Multi-Form Technique to split into three beings.

"Ha!" said the first Piccolo, as he pummeled his fist into Nappa's back, after appearing behind him.

"Arrgh!" Nappa yelled, as he careens forward.

The second Piccolo smiled, as he delivered a kick that sent Nappa towards the skies.

BLAM!

"Wahhhhhh!" Nappa yelled.

"Special Beam Cannon!" said the third Piccolo. He knew that with only a third of his power, he might not make the killing blow with this attack. But, damn, it felt good.

WRRIILLLLLL-FWOOSH!

"Ahhhhhhhhh-!" Nappa yelled, as he took the shot into the gut. Unfortunately, as Piccolo predicted, the shot did NOT deliver the killing blow.

"That…hurt!" Nappa said.

"We hope so," Sailor Moon said, as she unleashed her attack. "Mad Love Hurts!"

Sailor Moon throws up what appeared to be small heart at Nappa.

"Ha, you missed!" Nappa said, as he dodges out of the way.

"Did I?"

The heart stops, and then suddenly expands to the size of a house…and then to the size of a building…and then it suddenly begins to drop on Nappa.

"What kind of attack is that?" Piccolo yelled.

"A feint," Sailor Moon said, as she felt her husband Ranma's energy surge, even though he was still buried inside the mountain.

"This…is stupid!" Nappa said, as he was slammed by the giant heart. He tried to push it off of him, but to no avail.

"How is that that I can't move it?" Nappa said incredulously.

"It's called 'love', Nappa," Sailor Moon said. "My love for my family and my friends is greater than your hatred and contempt for others. So imagine how really small you are when compared to THAT, fiend."

"No!" Nappa said, as he charged up his energy. "I will not be taken down by something as stupid as THAT!"

"Maybe not by MY attack, but you will fall by my husband's."

"What-?"

"Fourth Gate Opening!" Ranma yelled, as he primed his attack. "Moka Takabisha: Perfect!"

Fueled by extreme confidence, Ranma discharged an energy wave that engulfed Nappa.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Nappa yelled. "This can't end like this!"

"It does," Ranma said, as he poured on the power. "And good-bye."

"No-!"

"Fifth Gate Opening!"

"Ahhhhhhhhh-!"

When the smoke cleared, Nappa was gone.

"We…we did it?" Krillin said in caution.

Ranma, tired, gives the thumbs up hand gesture.

"We did it!"

"Yeah, we did," Piccolo said with a smile. He then turned towards Gohan.

"You did good, kid."

"Thanks, Mister Piccolo," Gohan said.

Sailor Moon sighed, as she turned towards Ranma. She smiled, even as Ranma smiled back.

"Ranma, I'm proud of you-"

ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!

In short order, a beam of energy was drilled through Sailor Moon, Piccolo and Ranma.

"Ah!" Sailor Moon said, as she fell onto the ground.

"Wha-what?" Krillin said, as he sees three of his fall by the hands of Vegeta, who shot them using a single energy beam that came out of his right index finger.

"Mister Piccolo?" Gohan said, as he knelled at Piccolo's still body. "Mister Piccolo…?"

"How sickening," Vegeta said, as he takes off his scouter. "This is why I dislike wasting time like this…"

Gohan then turned to see the still form of his grandfather, as his grandmother crawled to her husband's side.

"You…you killed them!" Gohan said, as he turned on Vegeta. "You killed Mister Piccolo and my grandfather!"

"True," Vegeta said. "But don't worry kid. You and the rest of the trash will soon be joining them."

Meanwhile, darkness began to fall upon Sailor Moon, as she struggled to regain consciousness.

"Ranma," Sailor Moon said, as she reached over to her husband. "I'm sorry for not being strong enough to save you and the others…"

Pause.

"But, at least we can be together in the next life," Sailor Moon said with finality, as she closes her eyes for the final time…

Tbc.
