Part 25: "The Namek Saga" (VI)
Meanwhile, after securing the rest of the Dragonballs, as well as securing a new hiding place for the Z Warriors, Sailor Moon, Gohan and Vegeta travel to the Supreme Elder for a meeting…
"This Namekian had better give me what I want," Vegeta groused, as he flew along Sailor Moon's side. "Or else."
"Vegeta, with THAT attitude, we won't be able to get even Gohan's potential upgraded," Sailor Moon said. "Now, can you PLEASE let me do the talking."
"Humph!"
"Grandma, will it hurt?" Gohan asked. "I mean, the power-up?"
"Well, like I told Krillin, felt like getting caught up in a hot tornado before getting dunked into an icy lake," Sailor Moon said. "Meanwhile, Krillin felt as if he stuck a fork in a plug socket, so, what you might feel could be different from either of our respective experiences."
"Oh…okay," Gohan said with a nod.
"Well, MY power-up better not do me harm or someone else will be harmed…starting with YOU, 'princess'!" Vegeta said.
"You know, you really shouldn't hit women," Sailor Moon said.
"And YOU should know that I blew up a planet FULL of women…and men and children, too. So, shut up!"
Sailor Moon sighed. She really didn't need more trouble…
Meanwhile, on Planet Frost…
"So, my dear son needs help, Captain Ginyu?" asked King Cold, as he sipped on his drink that was contained by a wine goblet. Cold looked like a brawnier version of his son Vegeta…
"I would not say that your son 'needs' help in his quest to secure the Namekian Dragonballs, sir," said Ginyu, as he continued to stay on one knee before his employer. Ginyu was a large, brawny figure who carried himself like a proper military officer.
"However, upon learning that the Moon Princess is involved, Lord Freeza felt that it was necessary to cover all bases."
"Did you say…Moon Princess?" Cold said with a pause.
"Are you familiar with this person, Your Majesty?" Ginyu asked.
"Aye, as I am sure YOU are, given your professional propensity for wanting to know more about your assignments," Cold said. "I do know that a long time ago, the Silver Millennium had reigned over this world, as well as many others in this galaxy, before the Negaverse befell it. But, it was always assumed that one day, the heir of that galactic empire, known as "The Moon Princess", would reclaim her birthright, and thus one day rule this galaxy…"
Pause.
"I do not LIKE that, and if the Moon Princess has been reborn, and is on Namek right now, then my son will need additional help on his quest for his balls," Cold said, as he strokes his chin.
"Then I will gladly accept this assignment-"
"No, you will not be the only one to accept this assignment," Cold said. "I will send one of my other children to accompany you to Namek."
"I did not know that Lord Cooler had returned from his deep space mission," Ginyu said.
"I was NOT referring to my other son, captain."
"You don't mean-"
"Yes, I mean HER," Cold said, as he rises from his seat. "My daughter, Ice, will also journey to Namek, and SHE will deal with Sailor Moon!"
"Yes, sir," Ginyu said, as he bows his head. "It shall be done…"
Meanwhile, back on Namek…
"Will this hurt?" Gohan said nervously, as he presents himself to the Supreme Namek.
"No, my son," said Guru, as he placed his hand on Gohan's head. "I will simply dig deep within you, and then pull out your potential."
"Um, I think I need an adult."
"I AM an adult."
FWOOOSH!
"Whoa…"
"It is done," Guru said. He then turned towards the arrogant Saiyan.
"And why should I help YOU to bring out YOUR potential?" Guru asked.
"Simple, big man," Vegeta said. "I stand between you and a genocide maniac who has more 'blood' on his hands than I do."
"You will NOT speak to Lord Guru like that!" yelled Nail.
"Or what? YOU are going to stop me, 'green man'?"
"Grrrr!"
"Vegeta, shut up," Sailor Moon said. She then addressed Guru.
"Sir, in spite of my companion's…inarticulate demeanor-"
"I was perfectly clear by what I said, woman," Vegeta interjects.
"-We do need his help."
"And what did you offer to obtain that help?" Guru asked.
"I guaranteed him one of the wishes from your Dragonballs."
"And you presume to think Vegeta will not abuse that wish?"
"I presume that he will," Sailor Moon said, as she glances at the Saiyan prince. "But there will always be risks involved in any operation against an even greater threat."
"You're taking an awful risk, Moon Princess," Nail said.
"I know, Nail. TRUST me on this-"
"Well, are we doing this or what?" Vegeta yelled.
"Very well, come here," Guru said, as he motions Vegeta to step forward. "I shall see if I can bring out your potential, my son."
"I'm NOT your son, old man," Vegeta said. "And don't try anything weird."
"Now, hold still, as I look deep within you…
Guru delves deep within Vegeta's mind. As expected, he saw the tyrant that was within the prince of all the Saiyans. And then, he saw something that the Supreme Elder did not expect to see…
'Yes,' Guru thought with a smile. 'I see the kernel that will one day spring forth the hero that this Universe will need-'
"Are you through, or what?" Vegeta said.
"Almost," Guru said. "Now."
FWOOSH!
"Argh!" Vegeta yelled, as Guru brought forth Vegeta's true potential. "What the hell was that?"
"I brought forth your potential, my son," Guru said. "I am done."
"It's about time- wait. I…I actually feel…different…"
Vegeta then rushed out of Guru's domicile…through a wall.
BAM!
"Hahahahahahahaha!" Vegeta said, as he reveled in his new outlook…
"Heh," Sailor Moon said with a nervous grin. "Um, I'm sorry about that, Lord Guru."
"Never fear, Moon Princess," Guru said. "What I have done will end up being the thing that will help save the Universe."
"Um, okay," Sailor Moon said. "Lord Guru, I was thinking about what you said earlier, and feel that maybe it's time to restore the pact that was made between my family and your people."
"What do you propose?"
"I want someone to become the new senshi of Namek," Sailor Moon said.
"Interesting," Guru said. "With this threat to Namek, I could consider such a thing.
"But who would be the new guardian of Namek?" Nail asked. "I certainly can't, since I am dedicated to your personal protection, Lord Guru."
"Then, let us ask our special guests," Guru said, as he turned to look at Dende and Cargo. "Dende…Cargo…step forward, please."
"Yes, Lord Guru?" Dende asked.
"What can we do to help to protect Namek?" Cargo asked.
"One of you will be chosen as the new senshi of Namek," Guru said. "You will be sworn to protect Namek and her people."
"Who do you wish to bestow this honor?" Dende asked.
"Normally, there would be a contest to see who is worthy of becoming the senshi of Namek. However, since there are not that many Namekians left, I am afraid that the selection will come down to a volunteer to step up and accept this honor."
"Or, we can flip a coin," Sailor Moon replied.
"That can work as well," Guru said. "Does anyone here have a coin to spare?"
"Um, I do," Gohan said, as he fishes out a coin from his pocket. "Will this do, Grandma?"
"It should, and thanks," Sailor Moon said, as she took the coin from her grandson. "Okay, call it, you two…"
With that, Sailor Moon flips the coin in her hand.
"Heads," Dende said.
"Tails," Cargo replied.
KTCH!
Sailor Moon catches the coin before smacking it on the backside of her hand.
SMACK!
She then lifts her hand…
"Tails," Sailor Moon said, as she looks at Cargo.
"Congratulations, brother," Dende said with a smile.
"Thank you, Dende," Cargo said. He then turned to face Sailor Moon and Guru.
"I am ready to accept my duty."
"Good," Guru said. He then turned to Sailor Moon.
"Moon Princess?"
"Right," Sailor Moon said, as she presents her right palm. "Lord Guru, as the supreme being of your planet, please put your right palm over mine. Together, we will combine our legacies to create a new henshin rod."
"Like this?" Guru said.
"Like that. Now, I, Sailor Moon, shall initiate the process…"
FWOOSH!
Energy flowed from her body into her hand.
"Now, Lord Guru, your turn."
Guru nods, as he does the same, with the same results.
"Now…NAMEK POWER…INIATION!" Sailor Moon said.
FLASH!
When the flash went away, the process of creating a new henshin rod was over.
"I present to Cargo of Namek his new henshin rod," Sailor Moon said, as she presents to Cargo his new henshin rod.
"Thank you, Sailor Moon," Cargo said, as he took the rod. "Now what?"
"Say the first thing that is on your mind."
"Um…Namek Power Make-Up…?"
Suddenly, Cargo is bathed in a light, as he is lifted a few feet off the ground. His skin begins to tingle, as he twirls around.
And then, something odd occurs.
As Cargo's silhouette eclipses his appearance, everyone in the room sees Cargo change. First, he becomes bigger and taller. Then, as that goes on, his body becomes slimmer and shapelier…
And then, it was done.
Everyone blinked their eyes in shock and amazement, including Sailor Moon herself, at the sight of the newest sailor senshi…
"I feel…odd," said Sailor Namek, as SHE took a look at HER body. "And why do I sound strange and have two 'bumps' on my chest?"
"Wow," Sailor Moon said, as she swallowed hard. "I…I really don't know what to say…"
"Lord Guru, what has happened to my brother?" Dende asked.
"It appears that your brother has become your sister," Guru said.
"What…is a 'sister'?" Sailor Namek asked. "Am I still Namekian?"
"Cargo, Dende…Nail, it is time to know the truth about the Namekian race," Guru said, as he begins the story that their home planet was founded by the last survivor of a dead race, a race that had both males and females. Guru explained that males and females perform a "special dance" called "mating" that result in females laying eggs to produce offspring. Unfortunately, a powerful foe decimated their ancestors, leaving only one survivor: Namek. Namek, rather than consign his race to extinction, changed his body in order to produce clone offspring. Thus, the Namekian people were born…
"And now, you have become the first female of our species in ages," Guru said.
"Oh, my goodness," Sailor Namek said, before she turned towards Sailor Moon. "You lay eggs?"
"Um, no," Sailor Moon said. "The…females of my race do not lay eggs. We bear our young within our bodies, until it's time to expel them from them. When that happens, we call our young 'babies'. From there, we nurture and protect them until they achieve adulthood, and thus can take care of themselves."
"Have you produce babies?" Sailor Namek asked.
"I have been a mother many times."
"Will I become a mother?"
"I don't know," Sailor Moon said, as she gently took the newest sailor senshi's hands. "You might simply return to your previous state, when you shut down your powers, once the threat has been neutralized. Regardless, you are a beautiful creature no matter what."
Sailor Nemek blushes furiously at the statement…
"Hey!" Vegeta said, as he peek his head into Guru's domicile. "You might want to see this…"
"What do you think Vegeta wants?" Gohan asked Sailor Moon.
"I don't know, but whatever it is, I'm sure that it'll be him grandstanding or something," Sailor Moon said tiredly.
