Part 22: "The Namek Saga" (III)
Hours later…
"…So, you see, elder, I think it's best if you lend your balls to us," Sailor Moon said, as she sat in front of the Elder Namekian who possessed the Four-Star Namekian Dragonball. Unlike her more volatile partner, Sailor Moon insisted on speaking to the village elder about acquiring his ball…
"Or else," Vegeta said, as he clenched his fist.
"Vegeta!"
"We can take these people apart with ease," Vegeta said. "I don't see a downside."
"Um, genocide is a downside, yes?" Sailor Moon said with annoyance. She then returned her attention back to the Elder Namekian.
"I apologize for my…friend's unruly behavior, but the fact of the matter is that Freeza and his minions have already decimated five villages thus far," Sailor Moon said. "I implore you to lend your Dragonball to us."
"I do detect sincerity on your part, Moon Princess-"
"Ha!" Vegeta said with a sneer. "Some 'princess'…"
"But I do not trust your partner's motives. And what if I say no? Would you prevent him from taking our balls by force?"
"Ha!"
"I would pledge my life to defend your village," Sailor Moon said. "That is the way of the magical girl…the way of the 'senshi'. But even if I did defeat Vegeta in battle, there is no way for me to guarantee your safety, if I have to face Freeza. As I said before, the purpose of the Dragonballs is to restore the ones on Earth, as well as bring back my beloved husband."
"'Husband'?" asked the Namekian Elder. "What is this…husband you speak?"
"My husband is Ranma Saotome, a great warrior was murdered by my…partner Vegeta, after saving my life."
"Why would this Ranma Saotome of yours warrants the need of our balls?"
"We…care for each other," Sailor Moon sigh. "We share a life with each other, even took on a lost child as our son, when we could not consummate our relationship."
"What does 'consummate' mean?"
"Um, it means well…"
"It means that this Ranma 'porks' his woman, that's what!" Vegeta yelled.
"Vegeta!"
"Perhaps, if you show us what you are referring to, we can understand your plight," said the Elder Namekian.
Sailor Moon blushes furiously, as she thought about what was expecting of her. She then glances at Vegeta before shivering…
"What?" Vegeta said.
"Nothing, nothing…wait!" Sailor Moon said. She then focused her attention towards the Elder Namekian.
"Sir, if you indulge me for a minute, I propose that you read my thoughts on the subject of…consummation."
"Why can you not tell us about this act of consummation?" the Elder Namekian asked.
"My people still view the act of consummation as a private matter. Secondly, my present physical health precludes me from doing so with anyone at the moment, including my late husband. But I have been married before, so I can show you via telepathy."
"Then, I will allow it," the Namekian Elder said with a nod. "Please, step forward…"
Sailor Moon swallows hard, before she steps up towards the Namekian elder.
"Now, show me this…act of consummation," the elder said, as he took a look in Sailor Moon's mind.
2 hours later…
"I…I see," the Elder Namekian said, as he blushed furiously, which showed in spite of being green skinned. "You have committed the act of consummation many, many times."
"Yes," Sailor Moon said. "Being immortal, and having lived a long life already, I have had many relationships."
"In fact, I am surprised that you have not spawned entire civilizations-"
"Okay, okay!" Sailor Moon said, even as Vegeta smirks. "I GET your point…sir."
"But, I do see in your mind that you had desired to commit such a thing for two people: Mamoru Chiba and Ranma Saotome," the Elder Namekian said. "Of this Ranma Saotome, your reasons for not bearing his child is medical. However, of this Mamoru Chiba, you never had the chance to be with your first love."
"No, I didn't," Sailor Moon replied. "I lost that right when a rival of Ranma's sprung a trap on him. Unfortunately, I was caught up with him, and became lost."
"You could have wished for the ability to return to your proper Time and Space, and yet you did not."
"And I could have wished that none of my experience happened, and go back to the beginning of my misadventure," Sailor Moon replied. "But it is those experiences, those chance encounters at love, which has made me into the person that I am today. Besides, I love Ranma, and I hope to one day become the wife that he deserves."
For a moment, there was silence…
"Oh, cry me a river!" Vegeta sneered. "My whole planet was blown up by Freeza, and you don't see ME shedding tears."
"Humph!"
"Very well, I shall give you our Dragonball," said the Elder Namekian. "At the very least, it will be you who will draw away the attention of these invaders."
"In other words, we're targets," Sailor Moon said.
"Precisely."
"Well, it's better than nothing-"
Suddenly, Sailor Moon's wrist communicator sounds.
"Please excuse me, elder," Sailor Moon said, as she activates her communicator. "Yes?"
"Bad news, guys," Bulma said over a secured channel. "There's a massive energy signature heading in your general vicinity."
"That has to be Zarbon," Vegeta said. "Freeza won't do his own dirty work unless he has to."
"Okay," Sailor Moon said. "I'll go take the Dragonball from here, while you deal with Zarbon."
"Fine," Vegeta said, as he turns away. "Just don't get caught."
And, with that, Vegeta takes to the skies.
"Headstrong, is he," said the Elder Namekian.
"You have NO idea," Sailor Moon said. She then turned towards her communicator.
"Bulma, I'm bringing back a Dragonball," Sailor Moon said.
"Oh, good!" Bulma replied. "Bunny, Krillin wants to see about securing the last from the Supreme Elder Namekian. Dende offered to take him there."
"Alright," Sailor Moon said. "He can do that, but I want to go with him. The last thing I want is a misunderstanding."
"Agreed. See you in a bit."
"Right…"
"Here," the Elder Namekian said, as he hands his Dragonball to Sailor Moon. "And good luck on your mission."
"Thank you, sir," Sailor Moon says with a bow. "I promise you that I will use your gift well…"
A short time later…
"I'm back!" Sailor Moon said, as she arrives at base, with her Dragonball in hand.
"Oh, you got another Dragonball," Bulma said, as she takes the ball from her friend.
"Yeah," Sailor Moon replied. "So, did I miss anything?"
"No, Grandma," Gohan said, as he referred to his new friends. "I've been learning more about Namek from Dende and Cargo."
"Oh," Sailor Moon said, as she smiled while turning her full attention towards the Namekian children. "So…you're Dende and Cargo."
"Yes," Dende said.
"Are you going to save our people?" Cargo asked.
"I will do my best," Sailor Moon said.
"Um, where is Vegeta?" Krillin said, as he looked around.
"Running interference," Sailor Moon said. "But not to worry. He doesn't know where I hid the other Dragonballs."
"Oh, thank goodness…"
"The human Krillin wants to see the Supreme Elder, so he may acquire his Dragonball," Dende said.
"I would like to see this Supreme Elder as well, if you do not mind," Sailor Moon said.
"What?" Krillin said. "You don't think I can't get his balls?"
"No," Sailor Moon said. "Besides, somebody needs to tell him why we need the Dragonballs."
"Humph. Then why am I going?"
"Cannon fodder?"
"Wh-what?"
"I'm kidding, Krillin," Sailor Moon giggled. She then turned towards Gohan.
"Gohan, watch over Bulma and Cargo."
"I want to go with my brother," Cargo said. "I do not want to be alone…"
"Okay," Sailor Moon said with a nod. "Gohan, watch over Bulma, then."
"Yes, Grandma," Gohan said with a nod.
"Alright, let's go."
And, with that, Sailor Moon, Krillin and the Namekian children take off to meet the Supreme Elder of Namek…
"Who are you, and what do you want with the Supreme Elder?" said a young, powerful Namekian warrior, as he stood in front of the domicile of the Supreme Elder of Namek.
"We want to take his balls!" Krillin said enthusiastically.
"…What?"
"Brother Nail, these humans want permission to use the Dragonballs in order to save our world," Dende said.
"And why do you think they should have our Dragonballs?"
"They risked their lives for us, Brother Nail," Cargo said. "In fact, the one called 'Sailor Moon' openly challenged the one called 'Freeza', the person responsible for slaughtering our villages."
"Humph," Nail said. "I will go see if the Supreme Elder Guru will give his permission for these humans to see him. Wait here…"
Ten minutes later…
"So, the heir of the House of Serenity, of Luna, seat of power to the late Silver Millenium, has deemed to visit our world after all this time," said a large Namekian, who sat on a throne.
"You know about Bunny, Lord Guru?" Krillin asked in amazement.
"Aye, human," Guru said somberly. "I was there when the shining jewel of the Silver Millennium, Moon Kingdom, fell at the hands of the Negaverse's Empress Metallia, as her forces, led by the traitor Queen Beryl, lay siege upon that benevolent empire…"
"Oh, wait a minute," Sailor Moon said. "You're a senshi!"
"Indeed, I was," Guru said. "I was the Namekian Knight, and was entrusted in protecting the Dragonballs on this world."
"That make sense," Sailor Moon said with a nod. "My Silver Crystal can grant wishes, but not for selfish gain. Otherwise, I would have used them to return home…"
Pause.
"Pause…if that's the case, why weren't they used to eliminate the Negaverse?" Sailor Moon asked.
"To grant such a wish would have caused a change in your fate, one that would have led to the victory of Sailor Chaos," Guru said. "Your mother foresaw this, and thus allowed a kingdom to end, in order for a better future for her people."
"Ohhhhh," Sailor Moon said with realization. Before her misadventure began with her future husband Ranma, her last adventure as Sailor Moon involved a future incarnation of herself, Sailor Cosmos, who had traveled into the past as Chibi Chibi Sailor Moon in order to defeat Sailor Chaos and her minions. That version of Sailor Cosmos was not strong enough to defeat Sailor Cosmos. However, because Sailor Moon had made a different decision than the one her future incarnation had made, Sailor Cosmos was ultimately defeated…
"Are you implying that…I am on a better path?" Sailor Moon asked.
"I do not know, but I am sure that when you take up your heritage, you will be prepared to face Chaos," Guru said.
"I…I see," Sailor Moon said, she turned away. She didn't want to start crying, thinking that she, in spite of her love for her husband Ranma, never had a chance to be with Mamoru as his wife…
"Bunny?" Krillin said with worry.
"I'm…sorry," Sailor Moon said with a gentle smile. "I'm just thinking about missed opportunities…"
"Nevertheless, do not fear," Guru said, as he produces the Single-Star Namekian Dragonball. "I will give you this Dragonball."
"Thank you, Lord Guru," Sailor Moon said. "I will use it with great care."
