Part 10: "The Saiyan Saga" (Final)
As death begins to take hold of the Moon Princess, she feels a hand on her shoulder.
"Mother," said a familiar voice. "Please, stay with me."
Sailor Moon opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry, but, slowly, she can make out whose image she was seeing…"
"Goku?" Sailor Moon said.
"Yes, it's me, Mom," Goku said gently. "Please, take this senzu bean."
"But…your father-"
"I know, but I don't want to lose you, too."
Sailor Moon sees the senzu bean in Goku's hand. She nods her head, which Goku interprets as his consent to put the special bean in his mother's mouth.
"I'll go see to Gohan and Krillin," Goku said, before he stands up and walks away…
Sailor Moon closes her eyes, as she chews on the bean. With each chew, a single thought ran through her mind.
'I will live for my friends,' Sailor Moon said. 'I will live for my family…"
Sailor Moon's aura began to show, as her energy levels began to increase. She then began to rise to her feet, as the Moon Princess had gotten the fog in her mind was replaced by one thing: a thirst for justice.
"Vegeta," Sailor Moon said, as she got back on her feet, if a bit on the wobbly side. "You took my husband away from me…"
Sailor Moon then turned to face the Prince of the Saiyans.
"Prepare to be punished!" Sailor Moon said, as the ground around her quaked.
"Bring it on, woman!" Vegeta said with a sneer. "Let's see what you got!"
"Gladly. Kaio Ken Times Two!"
FWOOSH!
'So, this female is now at FOUR Radditz,' Vegeta thought. 'I'm still above THAT-"
"Kaio Ken Factor Three!"
"WHAT?" Vegeta said, realizing that his opponent's power was now at EIGHT Radditz, even as Sailor Moon drew her Lunar Spear, and cleaved the ground with it.
SLICE-!
THOOOM!
The ground split open, causing a fissure that ran for at least smile in the vector of Sailor Moon's attack. However, the displacement of the air nearly cut Vegeta in half.
"Whoa!" Vegeta said. For the first time, Vegeta realized that he might have faced a worthy opponent.
Sailor Moon was about to rush forward when-
"Mother, wait!" Goku said.
In spite of breathing hard, in spite of the headache Sailor Moon was feeling while tapping deep within her own potential, she stopped.
"Wha-what is it?" Sailor Moon managed to say. She needed to stay focus, or she will 'hulk-out' into an uncontrollable she-monster.
"We can't have this fight here, with…with what happened to Dad and the others," Goku said.
Sailor Moon gritted her teeth, but nods her head.
"Krillin, take care of the….bodies," Goku said. He then turned towards his son.
"Gohan, help Krillin."
"But what about you and Grandma?" Gohan said.
"Between the two of us, this guy is done," Goku said. "Trust me on this."
Gohan looks at his father, then at his grandmother, and then back at his father.
"Okay, Daddy," Gohan said.
"Good luck, guys," Krillin said.
Goku nods his head, and then faces Vegeta.
"If you want a full out fight, you can follow me," Goku said. "Unless, you want to hide behind the dead bodies of my friends and father."
"You father?" Vegeta said. "That MAN I killed is NOT your father. YOU are Kakkarot, son of the warrior Bardock, a common warrior from the dead world of Vegeta-sai."
"All that what you say may be true, but Ranma Saotome is my father, as well as Gohan, the man who intrusted my welfare into Ranma's hands, after he accidentally died when I went 'ape'."
"Ah, so you are fatherless through and through. How sad. I lost my father, the great King Vegeta, and you don't see ME caring like weakling."
"Then I feel sorry for you," Goku said, as he turned to his mother, who nods her head in reply. He then took one look at Vegeta once more before he took to the skies.
"Follow me," Goku said, as he flew with Sailor Moon right behind him.
"Oh, I will," Vegeta said, as he took to the skies after his prey…
"Gohan, help me," Krillin said, even as Gohan watches the trio of flyers go off into the distance.
"Uh, right," Gohan said, as he begins to help Krillin recover the dead bodies of his grandfather and friends…
A short time later, all three combatants land in a desert-like wasteland.
"We're here," Goku said.
"We are," Vegeta replied, as he looks around the scenery. "I must say that I'm very impressed-"
Suddenly, two, mountain-size boulders from opposite ends smashed together, with Vegeta iin between them.
CRASH!
"Mother!" Goku said, realizing that his mother was utilizing Earth Bending to launch the first attack.
"I'm sorry, Goku," Sailor Moon said. "But he needs to pay for killing your father."
BOOM!
Vegeta used his battle aura to explode out of his so-called tomb.
"No honor?" Vegeta said. "Fine. Female or not, I will beat you to death!"
With that, Vegeta flies forward in a blaze of fury.
"Oh, no you don't!" Goku yelled. "Kaio-Ken Times Four!"
"What?" Vegeta yelled. "SIXTEEN RADDITZS?"
"Yeah, whatever that means," Goku said. "Kamehameha!"
Goku unleashed his attack.
"Ha!" Vegeta yelled, as he dodges it. "You MISSED, Kakkarot!"
"Did I?" Goku said.
"What do you mean by that, you idiot-?" Vegeta said, before he realized that Goku's attack neither dissipated nor veered off into space. In fact, it was coming around, and was heading right for him.
"Wha-?"
"Energy Bending was something that I learned from one of my best friends, on a planet not far from here," Goku said. "Let's see if you can dodge THAT, Vegeta."
"No!" Vegeta said. He then chambered his own attack.
"GALICK GUN!" Vegeta yelled, as he discharged his own attack.
FWOOOM-THOOOM!
Vegeta pours on his, tapping into the upper limits of his power for the first time in years. He grits his teeth.
"I am the PRINCE of ALL the Saiyans!" Vegeta yelled. "I will not be humbled by the likes of YOU!"
With much effort, Vegeta manages to cancel Goku's attack. However, that's when he found himself inside an air bubble.
"Air Bending," Sailor Moon said with a smirk, as manipulated the air pocket to slam into the ground.
THOOM!
Goku turned on his senses, as the Prince of the Saiyans was driven into the Earth.
"Mother," Goku said, as he used his mastery over Earth Bending to sense the movement within the ground. He closes his eyes…
"MOTHER, BEHIND YOU-!"
Sailor Moon had to break her concentration in order to hear her son. Unfortunately, that gave the Vegeta the edge he needed to turn the tables on the Moon Princess.
"Wha-?"
The ground exploded around Sailor Moon, causing shards of rocks to cut into her body.
"Ah!" Sailor Moon said, as she was thrown a bit before falling back to the ground. "Oof!"
"Neat trick, witch," Vegeta said, as he wiped the blood from his lips. He then thought up an interesting idea.
"Let me show you mine," Vegeta said, as he rushed to grab Sailor Moon's tail.
FLASH!
GRAB!
"Ah!" Sailor Moon said, as she found herself in pain, as well as unable to move. "I…I can't move!"
"Of course not," Vegeta said. "It's a weakness of the Saiyanjin race, one that you should know if you really are a Saiyan."
"Let my mother go!" Goku said.
"Oh, I will, Kakkarot," Vegeta said. "But let me show you my next trick…"
Vegeta produces a glowing ball in his hand.
"What…what are you going to do?" Sailor Moon asked fearfully.
"Why, I'm going to transform the two of us into…apes," Vegeta said. He then looked into the sky.
"LUNAR BALL!" Vegeta yelled, as he throws the sphere of light into the air.
FLASH!
"Mother, don't look!" Goku said, realizing that his mother really did have a monkey's tail.
"No, witch, LOOK!" Vegeta yelled, as he grabbed Sailor Moon by the neck, and forced her to look at the glowing sphere, which simulated as a bright moon.
"Ah!" Sailor Moon said, as she felt the first pains of her transformation into her Ozaru form. She remembered what had happened when Goku and Gohan had changed into giant apes, and how destructive their power had been…
"Ahhhhhhhhh-!"
"Yes!" Vegeta yelled, as he felt the changes take place within him as well...
"Errrr," Sailor Moon said. "Grrrarggh-!"
Sailor Moon found herself growing hairier, as her muscles began to bulge and reshape. Her canines began to grow more pronounced, as her mass increased…
"RRRRRRROOOWWRRRL!" roared the she-ape that was once Sailor Moon. Unlike most Saiyans, and because she wasn't a true Saiyan, Oruzu Sailor Moon had blond fur instead of the usual black or brown fur. Interestingly, her sailor senshi uniform had adapted to the changes…
"Mother!" Goku yelled.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Vegeta-oruzu laughed. "I forced the witch into becoming the beast she deserves to be!"
"Grrrrrrr!" Oruzu Sailor Moon growled. She then looked at Vegeta expectantly…
"Now, witch, kill Kakkarot!" Vegeta-oruzu commanded. However-
"Sailor SMASH!" Oruzu Sailor Moon said, as she leaped into the air, and slammed her fists onto Vegeta-oruzu's head.
BA-THOOM!
"Arrgh!"
"RRRARRGH!" Oruzu Sailor Moon roared, as she repeatedly pounded on a surprised Vegeta-oruzu, effectively nailing him literally into the ground.
THOOM!
THOOM!
BOOOM-!
Oruzu Sailor Moon roared in triumph, as she raised her fist into the air.
"Mom, are you okay?" Goku asked.
"I'm fine," Oruzu Sailor Moon managed to say. "It…is difficult…to talk and thing…normally."
"How can you do that?" Vegeta-oruzu yelled. "Only a high-born or experienced Saiyan warrior can control their Oruzu form!"
"I have learned how to cope with…being a rage monster already," Oruzu Sailor Moon said. "This…is nothing new for me..."
Pause.
"And I AM a princess, too, you know."
"Face it, Vegeta," Goku said. "You will LOOSE this fight. So…stand down."
"YAHHHHHHHHH!" Vegeta-oruzu raged, as he burst out of the ground.
BOOOM!
"I will not be defeated by the likes of you!"
Vegeta-oruzu opens his mouth, and discharge an energy beam that hits Oruzu Sailor Moon dead center.
THOOM!
However, the Moon Princess refused to back down.
"Goku!" Oruzu Sailor Moon said. "I'll distract Veget while you finish him off!"
"Right," Goku said. "I know just the thing…"
Leaping away from the action, Goku stands tall, and then raises his hands into the air.
"Please, everyone, lend me your strength," Goku said, as he begins to create his final attack: the Spirit Bomb…
Meanwhile, Oruzu Sailor Moon continues to take a pounding from Vegeta. She was tempted to apply the Kaio Ken to this new form, but she didn't want to risk becoming a she-monster that combined the power of a hulk with that of a great ape. For all Oruzu Sailor Moon knew, doing that could prove to be a very bad idea. In fact, what would happen if she did become a gamma-spawned Oruzu she-monster? She could run that risk, especially where her son Goku was concerned…
"Why won't you fall, you witch?" Vegeta-oruzu yelled, as he continues to beat on Oruzu Sailor Moon. "Why won't you accept defeat?"
"I…will not fall so long as there is a chance for others to live in peace," Oruzu Sailor Moon said.
"YAHHHHHHH!" Vegeta-oruzu said, even as he threw a fist towards the Moon Princess.
At the last minute, Oruzu Sailor Moon sank into the Earth, using Earth Bending agin.
"Wha-?" Vegeta said, even as Oruzu Sailor Moon popped right behind the Prince of the Saiyans. She then grabbed Vegeta-oruzu, while sticking up one ape paw into the air…
"Lightning Bending," the Moon Princess said simply, as the electricity in the air gathered and crashed lightning upon her and Vegeta-oruzu.
CRASH!
BA-THOOM!
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Vegeta-oruzu and Oruzu Sailor Moon screamed. Lightning Bending was not a technique that the Moon Princess learned to master very well, since the danger was that untrained wielder of this sub-discipline of Fire Bending risk getting a heart attack in the process.
'It's now or never,' Goku said, as he gathered the ball of potent energy in hand. He then took aim, and lobbed the attack at his Vegeta-oruzu…with his mother still having her hold on him.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS-BOOOM!
The pair of great apes fell backwards, and landed onto the ground hard.
THOOM!
"Mother," Goku said, as he ran to Oruzu Sailor Moon. "Mother!"
Oruzu Sailor Moon opened her eyes.
"You seem so small, my son," the Moon Princess said, as she coughed.
Meanwhile, with Vegeta-oruzu's defeat, his Lunar Ball could not be maintained. Thus, it dissipated.
POP!
Slowly, but surely, the great apes revert back to their normal forms…
"You okay!" Goku said, as he gently hugged his mother.
"Physically, maybe," Sailor Moon said, as she reverts back to Usagi Tsukino-Saotome. "But what about…Vegeta?"
"Curse…you…all," Vegeta said, as he takes his remote control pad. He punches in a code to summon his space pod. "I will be back…for the Dragonballs…"
"I'm afraid you can't," Goku said. "When you killed Piccolo, you made his balls inert."
"Heh," Vegeta said. "Then…I will find that Namekian's home planet, and THEY will help me recover the Dragonballs…"
In short order, a spheroid arrives to retrieve the Saiyan Prince.
"Be warned, Kakkarot," Vegeta said, as he took one last glance at Usagi. "You have made an enemy today…"
And, with that, Vegeta, Prince of all the Saiyans, leaves Chikyuu.
Goku sighs. He was glad to have spent his childhood on Jeegoo, the home of the Avatar, where he and his parents learned Elemental Bending. That, and the training under King Kai gave him and his mother an edge to defeat their enemy, but it was not enough to save lives.
"Maybe we should-"
"No, let him go," Usagi said, as she sits up.
"But why? You heard what he said."
"As far as I'm concerned, mourning for our loss is more important than going after a defeated warrior prince with a bruised ego," Usagi said, as tears began to flow from her eyes once more. "We mourn first, and then we can deal with the fallout of what happened today…as a family should."
Goku nods his head, as he looks up at the skies, knowing that he will be a tough challenge ahead of him…and his kin.
Fin.
Next Time: We begin the "Namek Saga", as Goku, Sailor Moon, Gohan, Krillin and Bulma, with Tho-Ohki the Cabbit as their vessel, search for the planet Namek, in hopes of restoring Chikyuu's Dragonballs. However, our adventurers are the only ones in the search. See you then!
Author's Note: In light of the changes I have made to DBZ canon for this story, expect new adventures not seen in the DBZ series (perhaps a side trip to the world of "Avatar: The Last Airbender"?). Anyway, there will be an update to this story in a week or two. Until next time…
