Part 23: "The Namek Saga" (IV)
"Well, I guess we should get going," Krillin said.
"Wait," Guru said. "Before you two leave, I shall give you a special gift, for defeating my evil half Slug on your planet..."
"Lord Guru, you don't mean-!" Nail said.
"Yes," Guru said. "It is within my ability to unleash the hidden potential that all sentient creatures possess…"
Pause.
"Daughter of Serenity, step forth," Guru said.
"Um, of course, Lord Guru," Sailor Moon said, as she did as she is told. "What do you want me to do next?"
"Hold still," Guru said, as he places his hand on Sailor Moon's head…
FLASH!
"Ah!" Sailor Moon yelped, as her potential power is opened up to her…
"Whoa!" Krillin said, as he sees her aura blazing with fire. He then sees multiple Sailor Moon(s) of different types, from from sage to warrior, from goddess to demon…and from villain to hero. He sees the shade of Sailor Moon, Eternal Sailor Moon and many other guises of the magical girl, including Sailor Cosmos. And then he sees the looming aura of the fabled Moon Princess, as she was on the day the Moon Kingdom fell, and her future incarnation, Neo-Queen Serenity.
And then, it was all over.
"A-amazing," Sailor Moon said.
"What does it feel like, Bunny?" Krillin asked.
"It's like being caught in a hot whirlwind before taking a plunge into an icy lake," Sailor Moon said. "It felt intense, Krilliin."
"Interesting…"
"And, now you, human," Guru said.
"Alright!" Krillin said, as he happily stepped forth. "Do me next!"
"Hold stil…"
ZARK!
"That was…short," Krillin said with disappointment.
"I did not have to reach that deep to raise your potential,"
And then, Krillin realizes something.
"Um, in other words…?"
"It's all downhill from here," Guru said. "Still, that does not mean that you can't stay as strong as you are now through effort."
"Huh. Now, I know how Yamcha feels."
"I do not know who this Yamcha is, but he sounds to be a disappointment…"
"Um, we'll be off now," Sailor Moon said, trying to make best out of an embarrassing situation.
"And I will remain here," Dende said.
"As will I," Cargo said.
"I will take care of our little brothers, Moon Princess," Nail said.
"Thank you," Sailor Moon said, as she bowed, before turning away.
"Thanks!" Krillin said, as he waved his hand before departing with Sailor Moon with the Dragonball…
"So, Lord Guru, you really were a senshi for the Silver Millennium?" Nail said.
"That is correct," Guru said.
"Then…does that make ME a senshi?"
"In a manner of speaking, yes."
"Oh."
"Just be glad that you do not have to wear a sailor fuku like I had to wear."
"Oh…HUH?"
"Just kidding…"
When Sailor Moon and Krillin returned to home base, they see an irate Vegeta.
"Oh, so there you are!" Vegeta yelled. "I had to sit around with this brat and this useless woman!"
"Hey!" Bulma yelled. "You don't have to be here, you know!"
"Wait, how did you find our honey-comb hideout?" Krillin asked. "Bunny never told us that you knew where we were hiding."
"So, 'partner', you're not being on the level with me, huh?" Vegeta sneered.
"I can't take the risk of you succumbing to Zarbon or somebody," Sailor Moon said. "Besides, I knew that since you didn't need the scouters to find Dragonballs, you will know how to find homebase."
"Vegeta knows how to sense energy?" Gohan said.
"Yeah, after getting the crap beaten out of me by your idiot family, brat," Vegeta said.
"Humph," Sailor Moon then noticed something. "Um, what the heck happened to you?"
"Well, I got the crap beaten out of me by Zarbon, that's what!" Vegeta said. "I did manage to recover and escape, though…"
Pause.
"And I realize that every time I get the crap beaten out of me, I seem to get stronger after I am healed," Vegeta grins mischievously.
"I see…"
"Usagi, it proves my theory when we created that booster serum," Bulma said. "When a Saiyan gets close to death, their physiology goes into survival mode, resulting in a stronger Saiyan. This probably explains why you, Vegeta and Gohan can still get Saiyan tails, even after they are surgically removed."
"About THAT," Vegeta said, as he turned towards Sailor Moon. "Are you or are you not a Saiyan? I have never seen you before, and I know that Saiyans do not typically have blond hair unless they mate with non-Saiyans."
"Fine, here's the explanation," Sailor Moon said. "We worried about you and Nappa to the point that Bulma and I worked on a special serum, based upon Gohan's unique physiology, which could increase the power levels of those who used the serum. Ultimately, we did succeed in creating the serum. However, in the initial stages of development, I had took an early iteration of the serum…"
Pause.
"As result of the experiment, I became part-Saiyan," Sailor Moon said, as she swished her monkey tail."
"Ah, so you're a fake," Vegeta said.
"It's YOUR fault, you know!" Sailor Moon said. "If we didn't hear you threaten to kill us on Radditz' scouter, Bulma and I wouldn't have developed that serum in the first place!"
"Humph!"
"Grandma?" Gohan said.
"Yes, Gohan?" Sailor Moon asked.
"I…I like it that you're like me now," Gohan said. "I don't have to be alone anymore…"
"Oh, Gohan," Sailor Moon said. "You will never be alone, and you never were."
"Did you ever consider returning to normal, Bunny?" Krillin asked.
"I did, at one point," Sailor Moon said. "In fact, Bulma figured out a way to reverse the effects of the earlier version of the serum. But…I also realized that I will always be who I am, not matter what state I am, or become. I may get annoyed by becoming a giant ape from time to time, but it's a small price to pay to protect my loved ones…"
Sailor Moon then turned towards Gohan.
"Are we cool?"
"We're cool, Grandma," Gohan said with a smile.
Sailor Moon merely smiled.
"But I'm not," said a posh voice.
All eyes turned to see a male model with light green skin and dark green hair…
"Zarbon," Vegeta sneered.
"Do you honestly believe that you would not be tracked down and hunted like the dog you are, Vegeta?" Zarbon said.
"Oh, wow, he looks HOT," Bulma said.
"Bulma, he murdered innocent people!" Gohan said.
"Okay, he's a hot murderer…"
"And what do we have here?" Zarbon said, as he sees two Namekian Dragonballs. "Dragonballs for Lord Freeza?"
"Um, Vegeta, how did you manage to escape from Freeza?" Sailor Moon asked.
"I busted out of Freeza's ship, that's what!" Vegeta yelled.
"And you didn't consider the likely possibility that maybe Freeza allowed you to escape, in the hopes of tracking down OUR Dragonballs?"
Vegeta was about to make a retort until he realized the truth his partner's words.
And he wasn't the only one.
"And I thought I make bone-headed decisions," Krillin said.
"It doesn't matter," Zarbon said. "I have two Dragonballs, and, after I beat the information out of you all, I will find the other five."
"Then we have a problem," Sailor Moon said. "I'm not given up my balls. Vegeta may have, by I won't."
"What?" Vegeta yelled in outrage, while Krillin giggles.
"You look to thin and too small to defeat the likes of me, girlie," Zarbon said.
"And you look like the type who'd borrow my make-up kit," Sailor Moon said.
"What?" Zarbon yelled. "You dare insult me?"
"Hey, you started it with your chauvinistic remarks about ME, Zarbon," Sailor Moon said. "So, let's keep it above board, ne?"
"Very well," Zarbon said. "So, who shall I deal with first: the warrior prince or the princess warrior?"
"Wait, how did you know about HER being a princess?" Krillin asked.
"Well, I had the where-with-all to look up Sailor Moon's background," Zarbon said. "I know that Sailor Moon is supposed to be the reincarnation of the fabled Moon Princess, heir to the Silver Millennium. I also know that she is supposed to return one day to rule this galaxy as its 'Neo-Queen'."
"What?" Vegeta yelled. "THIS bimbo is supposed to be the ruler of an entire galaxy?"
"I'm right here, you know," Sailor Moon said with annoyance.
"Whatever. I will not bow down to someone who prances around wearing a sailor fuku! And once I have the Dragonballs, I will be the ruler of this galaxy…and the rest of the Universe!"
"That remains to be seen, especially since Lord Freeza has plans of his own," Zarbon said.
"So…how are we going to do this?" Sailor Moon asked. "I can't give you these Dragonballs."
"Well, if you try to interfere, I will have to give you a pounding that will have you begging for relief…of my attention."
"Um, huh."
"I don't think I should be hearing about this, on account of my age and all," Gohan said.
"I don't think that's what this guy is referring to, but I get what you mean," Krillin said.
"Um, can I fight, too?" Bulma said, not really getting what Zarbon really meant.
"Feh, idiot females," Vegeta said.
"Well, princess?" Zarbon said.
"I will fight you, Zarbon," Sailor Moon said. "And don't go easy. After all, if I am the fabled Moon Princess, if I die, I'll just reincarnate."
"Agreed," Zarbon said, as he shifts into a fighting stance. "Bring it, and prove yourself to be a legend…if you ARE the Moon Princess!"
Sailor Moon shifts into a fighting stance, before she suddenly crouches towards the ground, and slams her right fist.
THOOM!
"Wha-?" Zarbon yelled, as the ground juts up a boulder, thanks to Earth Bending, that forced Zarbon towards Sailor Moon.
"Sailor Star…Power Uppercut!" Sailor Moon yelled, as she springs from her crouch, and knocks Zarbon into the air…
BAM!
"Winner!" Krillin said.
"Nice move, princess," Zarbon said. "I underestimated your power levels."
"I learned how to hide them," Sailor Moon said. "Plus, I just got a power-boost."
"Quite. So, let's see if you can match my awesome strength…"
Pause.
"RRRARRGH!" Zarbon said, as he "hulks out". He also appeared to be bit more monstrous.
"Ah!" Bulma yelled in fright, as her delusions of romance evaporate real quick. "Kill it with fire!"
"NOW, I WILL NOT BE DETERED!" Zarbon-kiju said. "NOW, LET'S TRY THAT AGAIN."
With that, Zarbon-kaiju rushes towards Sailor Moon.
"Oh, this is bad," Krillin said.
"Oh, for the female?" Vegeta said with a sneer.
"Actually, I was talking about Zarbon," Krillin replied.
"Yeah, I don't think Grandma is using her full power," Gohan said.
"What?" Vegeta said. He then stared at Sailor Moon.
"WHAT?"
Zarbon-kaiju rushes forward, as slams his massive fist directly into Sailor Moon's stomach.
BAM!
"Heh," Zarbon-kaiju said, before realizing that Sailor Moon was still standing. "WHAT?"
"Please, let's end this," Sailor Moon said. She was drawing her strength directly from the planet, thanks, again, to Earth Bending. However, she has yet to utilize the rest of her power set.
"You're not going to make a mockery of me!" Zarbon-kaiju said, as he begins to pound on Sailor Moon, who rolled with the punches.
BLAM!
BASH!
SMACK!
"Why are you not falling?" Zarbon-kaiju yelled. He then threw a haymaker at Sailor Moon, only to have it caught.
KTCH!
"Huh?"
"Now, let me show you MY monster form," Sailor Moon said, as she hulks out…
SPLURCH!
"Huh?" Zarbon-kaiju said, as Gamma Sailor Moon emerges. As such, the Moon Princess was bigger than Zarbon.
"MOON SMASH!" Hulk Sailor Moon roared, as she used her free hand to smash into Zarbon-kaiju's stomach.
BLAM!
"Urk!" Zarbon-kaiju yelped, as he crumbled to the ground. He was then picked up by the neck.
"Zarbon surrender to Moon?" Gamma Sailor Moon asked.
"Zarbon surrender," Zarbon-kaiju laments.
"Good. Bye-bye!"
And, with that, Zarbon-kaiju was tossed miles from where he and the Moon Princess fought.
FLING!
She then reverted back to normal without discomfort.
FWOOMP!
"You know, that was quite neat," Sailor Moon said.'
"How so?" Bulma asked, as she took a medical scan of her friend.
"Well, anytime I change, I always get headaches and nauseous. Now, nothing."
"Maybe it's because of your potential being released?" Krillin asked.
"Maybe…"
"Well I want MY potential released!" Vegeta yelled.
"The only thing that you have a potential of being is a psychopath," Sailor Moon said. "But, we need to move anyway, and I want Gohan's potential maximized as well."
"Really, Grandma?" Gohan asked.
"Really. Any bit of help can't hurt…"
Pause.
"I just hope that it'll be enough…"
Tbc.
