Prologue


    Hello minna! Here’s the prologue of my DBZ/SM X-over. Hope you like it!
It’s pretty
 long for a prologue. *sweat drop* At least for me! My updates for this
story are going to be
 even slower than ŒNew Moon’ however. Sorry! Also, my little bro read and
liked this, except
 for the part where the gang is at the hospital w/Bulma and they know that
Vegeta’s the
 father. *shrug* It is a fan fic after all, so don’t get angry!  I don’t own
Sailor Moon or Dragon
 ball Z. Don’t sue, you wouldn’t get anything anyway! R&R and send
suggestions! ((I made a
 small change! Hope you don’t mind!)) Ja ne! =^-^=

Notes: *    *  -   indicate thought.
    ------  -   short passage of time.

    We start our story in the waiting room of a hospital. A well known group
of people
 were currently waiting for a friend of theirs. Bulma Briefs. She had just
gone into labor a
 little over two hours ago. Bulma had managed to get a hold of Chi Chi, who
in turn rounded
 up a few of the other Z senshi. They had all been surprised to hear of
Bulma having a baby.
 All except Goku that is.

    Goku was stretched out in one of the hard plastic chairs, snoring. Chi
Chi, his wife,
 was drilling their son Gohan on his math. "You are so far behind! I never
should’ve let you
 go and train with your father! School is so much more important!" Gohan
just sighed as he
 continued with his trigonometry. *Doesn’t she realize that I have to train
so I can fight
 against the androids?*

    The old hentai turtle master, Roshi, was playing a game of poker with
Oolong. "Ha!
 Two pair! Beat that you old fart!" Oolong grinned and spread his cards over
the top of the
 fold up card table. Roshi just grinned as light glinted off of his large
sunglasses. "That’s too
 bad Oolong because two pair can’t beat my royal flush! Ha ha! Beat you
again!" 

    Roshi started sweeping his Œhard won’t loot off the table as Oolong
glared. "Your
 cheating aren’t you?" Roshi laughed as he stacked up a few of the dirty
magazines he had
 won and leafed through one of them. "I don’t need to cheat to win a card
game!" *Besides,
 who cares if I keep a few aces up my sleeve?* He laughed again as Oolong
just grumbled
 under his breath.

    Krillen was in the far corner, trying to get a vending machine to work.
"Come on you
 hunk of junk!" He kicked it fiercely to try and dislodge the bag of chips
from where it was
 stuck. His kick didn’t dislodge the chips however. All it did was make a
large dent in the
 metal. The short bald man just frowned and made his way back to his seat.
"Stupid
 machine."

    He sat down next to Goku and poked his long time friend in the ribs to
wake him
 up. The startled saiyan jumped to his feet with a yell. Krillen just
laughed. "It was just me
 Goku! Why are you so jumpy?" Goku chuckled slightly. "Oh, sorry Krillen. I
was having a
 nightmare I guess."

    Krillen stared. "Really? What was it about? It could be an omen or
something." Goku
 rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. "Well, it had something to do
with Bulma.
 Someone came and stole her-" He was interrupted by a growl of inpatients
from the other
 occupant of the small room. Vegeta.

    The saiyan prince was pacing from one side of the room and back again.
He kept
 muttering things under his breath and occasionally punching the air to let
out his anger.
 When he had first started his pacing he had surprised them all. Vegeta
worried?

~Flashback~

    "Um, Vegeta?" Said saiyan spun on his heel to face the speaker. "What do
you want
 Kakarott?!" Goku blinked a few times, totally unfazed by the saiyan
prince’s yelling. "Well,
 we were all sort of wondering why you were pacing. After all, there’s
nothing to be worried
 about!" He grinned at Vegeta as the shorter of the two tried to hold his
temper. 

    *Baka! If that woman weren’t in this hospital I would just. . . *
"Kakarott! Baka! I’m
 not pacing! I came here in the middle of training and am therefore cooling
down!" He
 resumed his pacing and Goku settled into the chair next to Chi Chi. He
smirked slightly.
 "Sure Vegeta." Then, with a yawn, he closed his eyes.

~End of Flashback~

    Even after two hours Vegeta was still Œcooling down’. Krillen, still
angry for wasting his
 money on the chips and also quite nervous for Bulma, was starting to get
annoyed of the
 relentless tapping of the saiyan's boots.His left eye started twitching
suddenly. *I can’t take
 it anymore!* "Vegeta! Just sit down already! You don’t have to worry
about--ERK!" His
 sentence was cut short by the hand suddenly wrapped around his neck.

    "Don’t you dare try to tell me what to do baldy! For your information-"
Vegeta was
 stopped from killing the nose-less wonder when a nurse walked in. "Is this
the group
 waiting for Ms. Briefs?"

    Everyone who was sitting jumped to their feet and Goku stepped forward.
"Yeah.
 That’s us! Is she okay?" The nurse smiled brightly. "Oh yes, she’s okay.
The babies are
 doing fine as well." Everyone blinked. Chi Chi stepped up next to her
husband. "Babies?
 As in, plural?" The nurse smiled even wider. "Yes. And I have to say, those
two are the
 cutest twins I have ever seen in this hospital." Everyone’s mouths gapped
open. Vegeta’s
 most of all. "Twins?!" The nurse blinked in surprise at the noise. "Yes.
Ms. Briefs has had
 twins. Didn’t you know that she would?"

    Vegeta pushed past the Son’s and stared the nurse in the eye. "Where are
they?
 What room?!" The nurse stuttered in fear. "I ca- can’t tell you that! They
need to rest!"
 Goku sighed and pulled the nurse aside slightly. "You can let him see them
since he’s the
 father." The nurse stared at Vegeta in surprise but then started giggling.

    Vegeta growled in anger What’s so funny?!" The nurse blushed and backed
away
 again. "Oh! I’m sorry I laughed but now I can see that your the father.
Your face looks quite
 a lot like the little boy’s." Everyone in the room blinked yet again and
Vegeta just stood.
 *Looks like me? That’s . . . that’s. . * The nurse then grabbed his wrist
and pulled him
 through the doorway.

    After they had gone a short distance from the room the nurse leaned to
him with a
 worried expression. "I’m glad I was able to talk with one of the parents
about this. You see,
 there seems to be an. . . abnormality with one of your children." Vegeta
just smirked but
 the nurse continued, undaunted. "We have already scheduled surgery to fix
the problem so
 you needn’t worry."

    Vegeta's smirk stayed in place. "I don’t think that will be necessary.
I’m sure their
 mother and I will be able to deal with this little Œabnormality’." The
nurse sighed but
 continued to Bulma’s room.

    When they reached the dimly lit room all Vegeta could see was a sleeping
Bulma. He
 frowned. "Where are the children?" The nurse smiled. "I thought you might
want to talk
 with Ms. Briefs before I went to the nursery to get them." She started
closing the door
 behind her then turned back at the last moment with a smile. "I’ll be back
in a few
 minutes."

    Vegeta stared at Bulma from where he stood by the door. Even though he
hardly
 showed emotions, he did let one show on his face whenever he was alone with
her. Love. *I
 still find it hard to believe that I fell for this weak earthling.* He
smirked as he made his
 way to the bed. There was a small stool set next to the bed that he soon
made use of.
 Leaning against the metal railing of the bed, he tried to think of a way to
wake the blue
 haired woman.

~At the Time Gate~

    In the soundless void of swirling colors there stands a solitary figure.
Sailor Pluto.
 Guardian of Time. She stands stiff as a statue, holding her staff in front
of her. *It is almost
 time.* The green haired senshi closed her eyes and sent her senses into the
void of time.
 She searched until she found a small room in the hospital of a large city.
This city was in
 another dimension however. *It makes sense. Queen serenity did want to keep
her
 daughter as safe as possible. Sending her to another dimension was the
safest she can get.
 I’m afraid, however, that she is needed here.*

~Back at the Hospital~

    Vegeta was still leaning against the railing of the bed when the nurse
returned. He
 immediately jumped to his feet when he heard the door starting to open. in
came the nurse
 holding two small bundles. One wrapped in a pink blanket, the other in
blue. "Here they
 are." She set the blue bundle on the bed next to Bulma, making sure it
wouldn’t fall, then
 turned to Vegeta with the pink. "I thought you might want to see what I was
talking about
 when I said she had an abnormality."

    The nurse unwrapped the baby from the blanket and held her slightly
aloft so that
 Vegeta could see her. There, swinging slightly side to side in the air, was
a small white tail.
 The baby opened her blue eyes and her eyes wandered around the room, coming
to rest on
 Vegeta’s frozen form. She gurgled at the prince but received no response.
He was too
 shocked.

    *Why is her tail white? Is there really something wrong with her?* The
nurse took in
 his shocked look with a nod. "A tail. If you have second thoughts about
your earlier
 decision, we’d still be able to operate before her mother finds out."
Vegeta blinked a few
 times then roared at the nurse. "Of course there won’t be an operation! I
told you that I’d
 deal with it! Now get out!" The nurse hurriedly complied.

    His yells fortunately didn’t awaken the sleeping mother but they did
wake up the
 little boy in his mothers arms. He started wailing up at Vegeta, who just
stared. The baby in
 his arms caught his attention again when he heard her giggle. He turned his
head back to
 her, half in annoyance half in interest. She had soft blond hair and large
blues eyes that
 seemed to stared straight into his soul. She smiled again and Vegeta was
startled when he
 felt himself smiling back.

    *So. This little brat is my heir because of her tail. Too bad it was a
female.* He
 smirked down at his daughter who in turn giggled  and strained her arms
trying to reach
 him. Vegeta chuckled softly, not even noticing that the other infant had
stopped crying.
 He  extended one finger over the baby girl’s head, catching her attention.
He slowly started
 waggling it back and forth and her eyes followed. Much like a cat ready to
pounce, her tail
 started twitching. She set her mouth in determination and clenched her
hands into small
 fists. This only caused Vegeta’s smirk to widen.

    *She is feisty though.* She suddenly reached up as far as her tiny arms
would allow
 and caught his finger in between her  tiny hands. She giggled in triumph
and started
 shaking the finger in joy. Vegeta laughed again. "Maybe you are worthy of
being my heir." A
 sudden wind blew up, even though the room had no window. "Vegeta spun on
his heel,
 instinctively clutching the infant close to him. Behind them stood the
senshi of time. 

    "Greetings your highness. I’m afraid I’ve come to take away your
daughter." This
 simple statement caused Vegeta to freeze momentarily in shock. *What?! How
dare she!*
 "Just who the hell do you think you are?! You can’t just waltz in here and
demand my heir!"
 He clenched his fist in anger as the silent infant in his arms watched in
wonder.

    "I’m afraid that’s where your wrong your highness. I’m Sailor Pluto,
guardian of time
 and protector of that child in your arms. I’m here to take her to another
dimension where
 she is also a princess. Her strength is needed to fight a great threat."
Vegeta’s only
 response was a growl before Pluto quickly continued. "She is to stay in
that dimension until
 after she is 16. After that, I will send her home to you, if she wishes.  I
will erase everyone
 else's memory of this child except for yours. "

    Vegeta had had enough of this crazy woman. Different dimensions?
Changing time?
 "Woman! You will never lay a hand on my daughter! Even if your story were
true, she is my
 heir! I have to train her so she will be a true warrior and take the throne
after me!"

    Sailor Pluto just chuckled. "You needn’t worry about that your highness.
I will
 personally teach her all she needs to know until she return to your world.
Now, it is time for
 us to depart." She made to reach for the tiny blond in his arms but he
pulled her out of
 reach. "You’ve tried my patience enough! Big ban--" His attack was cut
short for a very
 simple reason. Pluto had frozen time.

    She swiftly picked up the tiny princess and moved back into the portal,
turning back
 only once so as to leave her letter. It explained everything in even
greater detail. As she was
 walking through she unfroze time, just soon enough so that Vegeta would see
her leave but
 not be able to stop her.

    All he could do was stare at the wall where the portal had formed. *I’ll
get you back.
 I’ll get you back if it’s the last thing I do!*

Chapter one


    Hi minna! Wow! I never thought it was THAT good! Thanks! Oh yeah, I
forgot to
 say thank you to Angel in my prologue. She helped me think of a title.
Thanks! *gives
 Angel a quick hug* Okay! Now, to business! Sailor Pluto is obviously lying
to Vegeta when
 she told him how much time would be going by. You’ll see what I mean by
obviously when
 you start reading.  Also, I’m changing the DBZ world. After the Z gang
fought in the cell
 games, none of the other enemies appear. *grin*  *yawn* *blink-blink*
Sooooo  tired. Have.
 . . to. . . sleep. =~-~= Oh well.On to the story. Ja ne! =^-^=

~Capsule Corp.~

    Bulma Briefs blew a strand of hair out of her face as she tried to
concentrate on her
 work. A single bead of sweat tracked down her face. *Just a little bit more
and-* Her
 concentration was broken by a loud banging. She yelped in surprise and the
small metal
 contraption in front of her sputtered and fizzed then started smoking. She
looked down at
 the product of all her tinkering. *Shoot! Now I have to start all over
again!*

    With an exasperated sigh she brushed the strand of hair from her face
and leaned
 back over the work table. She was just getting into position to reconnect
some wires when
 there was another bang. This time she jumped to her feet and stormed out of
the room.
 "Trunks!! How many times do I have to tell you not to fight with Goten
inside the house!" 

    She rushed into the purple haired boys room. There on the floor were
Trunks and
 Goten. Playing a card game. Quietly. The two boys stared up at the blue
haired woman.
 "What are you talking about Mom? We’re just playing cards."  Bulma blinked
and was about
 to ask what the noise was but never got the chance. There was another loud
bang and since
 Bulma was in a different part of the building she could now tell where it
was coming from.
 She turned away from the two perplexed boys with a grim frown. "Vegeta."

----------

    Vegeta drew in one ragged breath after another as he tried to keep his
temper in
 check. After all, he had just dented almost every wall in the gravity room.
*Stupid woman!*
 He wasn’t referring to his wife either. He was thinking of a certain
warrior of time. He
 growled again in anger and started throwing punch after punch at an
invisible assailant.

    After she had left, Vegeta had read through Sailor Pluto’s letter
thoroughly. She had
 explained in great detail what his daughters Œpast’ life had been like. It
had also given a
 summary of what Pluto had hoped ŒUsagi’ would accomplish in the other
dimension. *Usagi.
 Not only did she steal her away but she took it upon herself to name the
brat! And all that
 nonsense of fighting witches and demons. Bah! Whoever heard of saving the
world with a
 piece of jewelry!*

    Even after eight years he still hadn’t gotten over the sting of having
his daughter
 stolen out from under his nose. (An: Literally!) Eight years of never
seeing her, never
 getting to show her how to fight, never actually knowing her. He did
however have a strange
 dream every year on the anniversary of the birth of the twins. *It’s all
that stupid woman!
 She send me the dreams to torment me! Why didn’t she just erase my memory
like
 everyone else?!* 

    After Usagi’s kidnapping Vegeta had tried to get Goku to help him find
her. Also to
 help kill Sailor Pluto. He had only been laughed at. He had no daughter so
how could she
 have been kidnapped? He only had a son with no tail. Trunks.  He’d decided
to let out his
 frustration on Goku and that was the end of it.

    *But it was only the end of it as far as Kakarott was concerned.* Vegeta
lifted two
 barbells and continued punching. *Once I have time I’ll collect the dragon
balls and 
 summon the dragon. Then . . . * "I’ll tear that bitch limb from limb!!"
With his exclamation
 he punched the wall, causing yet another of the mysterious bangs. (AN:
*LOL*)

~Juban, Sailor Senshi Dimension~

    "And further more, Usagi, I think it’s time that you blah blah blah. . "
Usagi Tsukino
 yawned and nodded her head at her guardian cat, Luna. The small black
feline hadn’t
 noticed that Usagi had tuned her out and continued her lecturing with all
it’s usual vigor.
 *Geeze. How long is she going to go on about it this time?*

    The two were on their way home from what was officially the final scout
meeting.
 After the defeat of Chaos and the end of the sailor wars there hadn’t been
a single youma
 attack. That had been for at least three months ago and since the senshi
had been told to
 expect peace for quite awhile, they all decided to make the best of it and
live normal lives.
 Usagi groaned at the thought. *I never thought I would ever say this, let
alone think it, but i
 want something to happen! I don’t want to be normal!*

    She lowered her eyes to the concrete in defeat. *I guess I’m stuck. No I
have to wait
 centuries for something interesting to happen.* She lifted her head again
and noticed
 something strange. Luna had stopped talking. She turned back to the cat.
"Luna, are you
 done lecturing already?" Her eyes fell on the lunar cat and she gasped in
surprise. She was
 frozen in mid-step. Her mouth was open as though she were about to utter
her next remark
 in an instant. Yet, there was only silence.

    That’s when it hit her. Everything was quiet! Not just Luna! The cars
had frozen in
 the middle of the street and not ten feet away she could make out the form
of a bird,
 floating five feet off the ground. She slowly started to back away from the
strange sight.
 *Okay! I take it back! I don’t care if it’s a boring life!*

    "Are you sure princess?" She blinked at the voice and turned her head,
trying to
 focus on it’s source. "Pluto? Is that you?" Her eyes stopped as the
detected motion in the air
 between Luna and herself. It started as a small spark of purple darkness
which quickly
 exploded into a roaring, swirling portal. The blond gulped nervously as she
waited for the
 sender of the portal to appear. *It had better be Pluto! She’s got some
explaining to do!
 Like that dream she sent me last month!*

    Suddenly the senshi of time burst through the portal, which instantly
collapsed
 behind her. She ran her hand through her long green hair then swept into a
low bow before
 the annoyed blond. "Greetings your highness." Usagi sighed and shook her
head slightly, a
 smile forming on her lips. "Sailor Pluto, how many times do I have to tell
you that it is alright
 for you to call me by my civilian name."

    The green haired senshi just nodded curtly. "I’ve brought you some news
Usagi."
 The still tired moon princess yawned and waved her hand impatiently. "That
can wait. First
 I need to ask you about that dream you sent me. It was a lot stranger than
those other
 dreams."

    The Œother’ dreams Usagi was referring to were Pluto’s form of training.
For the past
 ten years the time guardian had sent her sleeping spirit to another
dimension to train with
 an Œold friend’. A tall green skinned alien called a Namek. When Usagi had
first had the
 recurring dream she had been understandably surprised.

~Flashback of Dream~

    A six year old Usagi is curled up in a ball on the floor of a large
room. She slowly sits
 up with a yawn, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She then realizes she is
no longer in her
 bed under her bunny comforter. She’s in a blackness that was palpable and
seemed to have
 no end. The worst nightmare for a young girl. Her pulse quickened and she
jumped to her
 feet, ready to run at the slightest movement. In her agitation she noticed
her tail had
 started twitching. She froze as she realized what she had just seen.

    *Tail? Is that. . . . a tail?* She craned her neck to look over her
shoulder and there, in
 the air behind her, was a long, white tail. The dark room started spinning
slightly as she
 continued to stare at the white appendage. *’Breath Usagi. Breath’* She
obeyed the
 command in her head without even worrying about the voice not being her
own. As she
 regained her senses she noticed sudden light in the room and turned her
eyes back to the
 front. There was the Namek. Staring at her with a frown.

    "Who- who are you?!" She stepped back once in fear and the green skinned
man
 smirked. She took another step than noticed the person standing next to the
Namekian. It
 was a tall tan skinned woman with long green hair. For some reason her
image seemed to
 ring a bell with Usagi but she couldn’t think of why.

    Again the voice spoke in her head, calming her. *’It’s alright princess.
We’re here to
 teach you.’* Usagi nodded and now realized where the voice was coming from.
The woman
 with green hair. Again she spoke, this time in curiosity not fear. "Who are
you?" The
 woman smiled and relaxed slightly, leaning against her staff slightly. "My
name is Sailor
 Pluto and my companions name is Piccolo. We are here to train you."

    The blond blinked. "Train me? For what? Why?" With out realizing it she
wrapped
 her tail around her waist. Pluto just sighed. "Your father wishes you to be
trained since you
 are his heir." Again Usagi blinked. (AN: *LOL*) "My father?"

    Piccolo frowned and turned to Pluto. "Maybe you should just use some of
your magic
 so as to speed this up. She has a lot of catching up to do if she wants to
be up to par with
 anyone in this world." Sailor Pluto nodded. "You right Kami- um, I mean,
Piccolo." She
 turned to Usagi with a determined look in her eyes then lifted  her staff
so that the garnet
 orb on the top was level with her face. She closed her eyes and let out her
breath slowly,
 concentrating.

    Usagi was puzzled by her behavior. *What’s she doing?* She leaned her
head to one
 side to try to figure it out. Suddenly the orb on the staff started glowing
brightly, causing
 Usagi to jump back a step and shield her eyes with her arm. She finally
peeked out and
 lowered her arm slightly as her eyes got used to the change in light. She
found Pluto’s eyes
 open now and as soon as their eyes met Usagi’s body locked up in shock as
images flooded
 her mind.

    Piccolo watched the whole exchange in silence, awaiting the moment when
he
 would be able to start his training. It didn’t take long. As the light
dimmed away to nothing
 Usagi turned towards him with a frown. She had seen what had happened when
she had
 been taken away from her real father and what Pluto had caused. Had learned
that she was
 the heir to the saiyan throne yet  she hadn’t been allowed to see what her
father looked like
 however.  *How could she? How could she?!* Her frown deepened and she bowed
slightly
 to Piccolo. "I’m ready for my training." The Namekian nodded and Pluto
disappeared
 silently.

~End Flashback~

    Usagi had gotten used to the strange training method but had never
gotten used to
 the difference in her sense balance and loss of sleep. *If it weren’t for
the fact that I should
 really have a tail then I wouldn’t be so klutzy all the time! And why did
Pluto tell me to act
 like that? Being dumb and ditsy didn’t accomplish anything!*

    She shook her head to banish the thoughts and got back to the point at
hand. "This
 last dream had nothing to do with training! Who were they?!" Pluto blinked.
"I don’t know
 what you mean your highness." Usagi growled in frustration.

    "Don’t fool around with me Pluto! Who were they?!" The senshi of time
met Usagi’s
 deep blue eyes with her red. "I suppose it is alright for you to know since
it has been 16
 years. Very well. Usagi, the people in your dream were your family. Your
twin brother, your
 mother, and your father."

    She waited for her words to sink in with a feeling of apprehension. *I
truly hope she
 understands what I’m about to tell her.* "Usagi, when we first met in this
life I told you that
 you would be able to return to them when you were 16 correct?" Her words
were received
 with a nod so she continued. "I’m not sure it would be best for you to-"

    "Not sure if it’d be best for me to go back?! I’m tired of everyone
telling me what they
 think is best for me! I can choose for myself and I say that I want to see
my family! Now!"
 Pluto was shocked at the blond’s outburst. *Why is she yelling? Does it
really bother her
 that much?* "Princess? I will follow your orders and since I’m sworn to
protect you I will
 have to accompany you for a short while."

    Even though Usagi was still resentful of the time senshi for taking her
away from her
 rightful family she knew what was likely to happen to her if she returned
to the dimension
 of her birth. Her eyes changed from enraged to extremely worried. "But
Pluto! My father
 will try to kill you!"

    Sailor Pluto just laughed weakly. "Oh, I’m sure he’ll understand by now
why I did it."
 *He’ll only understand once I’m dead.* She sighed but turned her back to
the princess. "I
 am sorry I did this to you Usagi. I truly hope you understand and someday
forgive me."
 Usagi was not known for being unforgiving. Quite the contrary.

    She ran up to the lonely scout and wrapped her arms around her guardian.
"Oh Pluto!
 Of course I forgive you!" She felt tears starting to gather in her eyes and
smiled up at Pluto.
 "I’m not so sure my real father will forgive you however. Maybe I should
just go on my own.
 I’ll be alright. I DO know how to fight after all." Pluto smiled but shook
her head. 

    "I have to see this thing through to the end Usagi. I’ll face the
consequences of my
 actions." Usagi just nodded and stepped back. Pluto lifted her staff and
soon another portal
 was forming in front of them. Usagi stared into the swirling darkness and
gulped in
 apprehension. Pluto turned to her before they stepped through.

    "Princess, I must tell you something. When I left I told your birth
father that he
 would need to wait 16 years until I returned you. The differences in our
time streams
 however has caused only 8 years to pass while 16 have already passed here.
Now, I can
 either send you as you are or," She gulped and prepared herself for Usagi’s
reaction. "I can
 shrink you back to the age of eight."

    Usagi just blinked. *Does she mean that I’m actually eight years older
than my twin
 brother?* The idea struck her as very funny and so she started giggling.
"Boy Pluto, you sure
 messed up this time! I mean, think how surprised my Dad will be when he
sees how old I
 am!"  Pluto grinned as well but internally she quite scared. *I think I
know what his reaction
 will be to that little surprise.*

    "Very well. I’ll allow you to remain your same age for the time being. I
did make a
 promise to your father after all. Maybe I’ll just say I shortened your
sentence to eight years
 instead of sixteen." Pluto smirked at her own bad joke and Usagi pouted.

    "Are you even going to let me see my family while I’m still sixteen?"
Pluto shook her
 head firmly. "No. That would cause too much trouble. I will just enroll you
at the closest
 high school." She grinned at the horrified look on the young princess’s
face. "I’m sure it’ll
 be quite fun. Don’t worry, it’s only for a week at most. Then, you’ll be
eight again!" Pluto
 giggled at the put-out look on Usagi’s face and they both stepped through
the portal,
 leaving the Sailor dimension behind as though they had never been there.

~ Unknown Destiny ~
Chapter Two


Hi again minna! *hits self on head with keyboard* I’m sorry I keep doing
that cliffhanger
 thing! I’m stuck in a cycle of cliffhangers! Argh!! Believe me, it’s a lot
more frustrating for
 me than it is for you. (maybe) *hehehe* Anyways! *rubs hands together and
smiles* The
 fight w/Piccolo! Hope it’s a good one eh? Enjoy! R&R. Ja ne! =^-^=

Notes: *    *  - thoughts
    -----   - short passage of time or change of character/area.

~The Meadow~

    Gohan just stared in shock as Piccolo made to attack the blond. The girl
only
 adjusted her light blue shirt and calmly brushed some more dirt from her
cut off Jean
 shorts. *What’s he doing?! Is she an enemy? Why is he attacking her?* The
strange visitors
 bright smile transformed itself into a smirk and right as Gohan was
beginning to panic that
 she was going to be seriously injured, she phased out. He blinked in
surprise before his
 eyes automatically tracked to where she had gone. Ten feet behind the
Namekian and with
 her arms folded in a strangely familiar position, the smirk still on her
face.

    "Impressive. But not quite good enough to beat me yet brat!" He let out
a yell and
 charged again. Usagi’s smirk widened slightly and she giggled softly as she
got ready to
 meet his attack. *This is fun! Pluto never did tell me that Piccolo was
from my home
 dimension. I wonder if we’ll be getting to ki blasts?*

    She side stepped on her right foot and swung the left up for a swift
kick. Her hair
 flowed through the air behind her, providing a brief distraction. Piccolo
blocked it easily
 enough however. She followed up with a spinning sweep kick then went into a
fast punch
 combination ending with an uppercut that Piccolo caught in his fist. He
just smirked and.
 "Can’t you do better than that girly?" *She’s holding back. I wonder how
good she is now. I
 haven’t seen her since before her last battle. She’d better have kept up
with her training.*

    Usagi laughed and levitated slightly off the ground. "I’m not the
protector of the
 universe for nothing after all." She suddenly shot towards the green
skinned man and even
 Piccolo had a hard time keeping track of her. Gohan was watching it all
with a dazed look
 on his face. *Who IS this? Protector of the. . . universe? Her power level
is. . . not much
 higher than Bulma’s! How is she able to do that with this sort of level?!*

    Usagi lifted her leg as though she were preparing for a flying kick, and
Piccolo fell for
 the bait. As he dodged to avoid a blow to the head she kicked out with her
other leg. It
 connected strongly with his jaw and he started falling backwards from the
blow. *That was
 a new one. Good.*  He turned his momentum to his advantage however and
swung his legs
 over his head in a back flip,then shot them both towards the blond’s
stomach. They made
 painful contact and she started to fall to the ground.

    *Oh great! Not this again!* Usagi started flailing her arms out for
balance before she
 got to meet the ground more intimately. In her haste to regain her center
of gravity she also
 removed her forgotten tail from around her waist and used it as a counter
weight. She
 blinked as her feet connected solidly with the ground again. *Oh yeah! My
tail!* She
 grinned up at Piccolo. "I’d forgotten about my tail! Now your really going
to get it for that
 cheap shot Piccolo!"

    Said Namek growled in anger and annoyance. "Stop acting so childish!" He
 punctuated his words with a small ki ball. Usagi easily dodged the weak
attack and grinned.
 *Good! Now to the fun fighting!* Usagi started giggling again. "Take a look
at this one! I
 thought it up after my final battle with Chaos!" She lifted one hand up in
front of her face,
 palm up. Lifting her left leg she started spinning slowly in circle. She
closed her eyes and a
 small ball of shimmering white light appeared in her hand.
    
    She started spinning faster and faster as the sphere grew in strength
and size. Finally,
 after even Pluto was starting to get dizzy from watching, she stopped as
still as a statue.
 Planting her feet wide apart she brought her other hand up over the top of
the ball and it
 split into two halves.

    With one half in each hand she finally yelled her attack. "FULL . . .
MOON . . . " 
 She slammed the two sides back together violently as she yelled the final
word.
 "COMBINATION!" A huge flash blinded everyone in viewing distance and was
making it
 extremely hard for the Namek to see, let alone dodge, the attack. *Well,
now I know she’s
 been at work!*He thought grimly, yet he was still smirking. It hit head on
and he fell to the
 ground, gasping at the pain from the numerous, yet small, burns.

     As the smoke and dust from the explosion cleared Gohan was given a
great view of
 Usagi’s victory. And her tail. That froze him in shock. Even though he
yearned to go and
 help his old teacher, or at least yell some encouragement, he couldn’t
move. *How is it
 possible! She can’t have a tail! Let alone a WHITE tail!*

    Usagi stopped right in front of the Namek and leaned down with a grin to
help him
 up. "Did I hurt you too much?" The Namek just frowned. "I wasn’t hurt at
all." He crossed
 his arms and stared up at the clouds haughtily. Usagi just giggled at his
response but then it
 seemed to register that they had an audience. The stranger was staring at
her, slack jawed. 

    "Well Piccolo. That was quite a welcome. I guess I shouldn’t expect any
different
 from you though should I?" *I wonder who that guy is? Shoot! He probably
saw my tail!
 What if he finds out who I am?* She turned to Pluto and with a meaningful
glance
 indicated the young man still at the edge of the meadow. Usagi then turned
back to
 Piccolo. "Maybe we should just make this a private meeting. "

    Piccolo frowned."Very well. Gohan? I need to speak with these people
alone."
 Gohan, still stunned by the outcome of the fight and the tail, just nodded
dazedly. "Yeah,
 sure Piccolo. I’ll see ya tomorrow." He hurriedly jumped into the air and
sped off to tell his
 father about the visitors. *He has a right to know after all. They may turn
out to be trouble.
 Maybe.* Even as he thought it he knew it couldn’t possibly be true. *So
what if I want to tell
 someone? She’s beautiful and strong and. . . *  He shook his head, a frown
appearing on his
 face. *No. I’ll just go pick up Goten and pretend I didn’t see anything.*
He had serious
 doubts he would be able to do this however but continued on to Capsule
corps.

-----------

    Piccolo turned to the two with a frown. "Your father has been getting
even worse
 lately. I’m sure he’d be more than happy to see you." Pluto sighed and
twiddled with her
 staff in embarrassment. "As I’m sure you’ve noticed, Usagi is 16 years old.
Her twin brother
 is only half that age. I made a mistake." She sighed yet again and turned
her eyes to the
 ground. 

    Piccolo’s frown only deepened. "Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t you
tell her
 father that you’d return her after 16 years? Obviously, 16 years have
passed for her.  There is
 no reason to provoke him further. He will find out if you keep her away any
longer and I’m
 quite sure I know how he’ll reward you for your kind thinking." He smirked
at Pluto as she
 just blushed.

    "I guess your right. But it would still be better if I changed Usagi’s
age. She hasn’t
 had any time to get to know her family and this will give her more
opportunities to learn as
 well." Piccolo nodded. "I agree with you on that. Very well. Why don’t you
just regress her
 right now?" Usagi suddenly burst into the conversation with a frown.

    "Aren’t you even going to ask me how I feel about having to grow up all
over again?!"
 The two blinked and turned from each other to Usagi then back again. Pluto
finally sighed.
 "Princess, you know it’s for the best so it’d just be better if you didn’t
argue. Please?" Usagi’s
 angry look soon melted into a sad look of compliance. She sighed heavily.
"Alright! Just do
 it quick!"

    The blond squinted her eyes closed and balled her hands at her sides,
waiting for
 the massive change of age. After nothing happened for about 30 seconds she
decided to
 open her eyes and investigate. She was surprised to find she had to lift
her head quite a bit
 to see the faces of her two teachers. *I’m chibi!!*

    "Hey!" She cringed at her high childish voice. "What happened to the
flash of light
 and big bang or whoosh?" Pluto grinned. "I don’t need special effects to
get things down.
 Most of it’s for show anyways." Usagi blinked a few times than shrugged and
turned to
 Piccolo. He was staring straight down at her and she had to admit that it
was quite an
 intimidating position to be in. She giggled slightly and was rewarded by a
small smirk. She
 smiled and inspected her new chibified body.

    Her once long blond hair now only reached the middle of her back and her
arms and
 legs had lost some of their muscle definition. She grinned at the fact that
Pluto had shrunk
 her clothes along with her. *Good thing too!* She fingered her short
pigtail and looked
 around the meadow from her new perspective.

    *So now I have to grow up all over again. Why me?* She sighed and stared
at the
 ground. Pluto decided to have a little fun with the blond saiyan so
comically bent down so
 that they could speak face to face. "Is something wrong your highness?"
Usagi didn’t miss
 the small jab at her height and glared at the senshi of time. "Very funny
Puu!"

    She laughed as Pluto’s face again went through a myriad of emotions.
"Thanks Puu!
 So, can I go see my family now?!" Her face practically lit up and even
Piccolo had o try very
 hard not to smile along with her. Pluto eyes crinkled in amusement. this
age fits her quite
 well.* "Yes, Usagi. You get to meet your family now."

    The blond started jumping and twirling in the air. "Yahoooo! Finally!"
She jumped
 into the air and impatiently tapped her foot on the non-existent ground.
"Come on you two
 slow poke oldies! Times a wasting!" Piccolo and Pluto shared a glance and
both followed
 her into the air. 

    Usagi shot into the clouds as soon as she was sure that they were
following. *Now I
 can meet my real brother and mother. And, my father.* If it were possible,
her grin
 widened considerably. Even though she had never actually met her father she
knew that he
 was someone who she could relate to. *Even though Pluto and Piccolo think
he’s cold and
 arrogant.* 

    As she was finally slowing down the rate of aerial tricks she was doing
it occurred to
 her that she had no idea where she was going. She stopped and turned to the
older two
 with a curious look on her face. "Um, where IS my family anyways?" Pluto
sweat dropped.
 "Usagi! Maybe you should just follow us." The blond nodded sheepishly and
quickly fell in
 line between them.

    The flew in silence as each tried to sort out their thoughts. Main on
Usagi’s mind was
 who the guy from earlier was, so she decided to ask. She turned to Piccolo.
"Who was that
 black haired guy from earlier? He had a pretty high power level." *He was
also pretty kawaii.
 Too bad I’m so chibi!* Piccolo smirked. "He was another student of mine,
Son Gohan.
 He’s the son of Goku, one of the only two living saiyans. Your father is
the other.  He’s half
 saiyan, like you."

    Usagi digested this information but than a thought occurred to her,
almost causing
 her to panic. "He saw me before you changed my age! He saw my tail! He’ll
recognize me
 and blow my cover!" She stared from one to the other with fear evident on
her face. Pluto
 frowned grimly. "I never thought of this. Your correct that he will
recognize you. Your white
 tail really gives you away." Piccolo smirked. "Maybe you should just let
him think what he
 wants. Nobody will believe him even if he tries to tell someone. Which I
highly doubt."

    There was silence as the worried pair thought of the logic behind this.
Usagi didn’t
 see much but decided to go along with Piccolo for now. *I have enough
complications right
 now! No need to add another that might turn out to be nothing.* "I guess
your right
 Piccolo." Pluto nodded wordlessly and they continued on their way.

Good? Bad? Mediocre? Let me know! Also, hope you don’t mind my minor changes
too
 much! It is a fan fic after all! *LOL* Ja ne! =^-^=

~ Unknown Destiny ~
Chapter Three


Hi minna! How’d you all like the Chibi Usagi? *hehehe*  =~-^= Don’t worry!
She won’t be
 chibified forever. Actually, just for a few more paragraphs. *hehe*  So,
how's Vegeta and the
 rest of the family going to react to Usagi’s sudden appearance? Happy, sad,
angry or mad?
 *LOL*(It rhymed!) I’m just going to go before I make myself sound even more
corny and
 unoriginal. Ja ne! =~-^=

Notes:  *        *   -  Personal thoughts
     ---------   -   Short passage of time or change of character/room

~In the air between the meadow and Capsule Corp.~

    A small group of people are seen flying through the air. For some reason
the three are
 all subdued and silent. For those privy to their thoughts however, it is
understandable. Two
 of the three were on their way to deliver a child stolen from her family
years ago and the
 third, well,  was the child. The fact that she was a child wasn’t going
over well for Usagi
 though.

    Pluto stared over at her charge for the time being and sighed. The chibi
blond was
 grumbling under her breath and even though the wind was whistling through
the time
 senshi’s ears she was able to catch a few of the choicely muttered words.
"Stupid Pluto. . . .
 chibi and weak. . . kawaii guy. . . " Pluto sighed and turned to the moon
girl. "Usagi? I get
 the feeling that your not quite satisfied with your current. . . size."

    Usagi frowned. *Well, that’s obvious!* "Of course not! Why would anyone
want to be
 chibi after already being 16!" Her frown turned into a smirk suddenly and
she stared Pluto
 in the eye. "Sailor Pluto, guardian of the gates of time and protector of
the heir to the moon
 kingdom. I hereby order you to change me back!" Even though she had managed
to
 control her voice through her deliberately elaborate title for the senshi,
she couldn’t help
 but yell the last.

    Piccolo started smirking slightly at the scene. The very short blond
yelling at the tall
 green haired woman would have made a scene anywhere but in the air it was
even more
 comedic. *She sure knows how to get her way. Sailor Pluto can’t disobey a
direct order from
 her princess.* "No." Piccolo’s slight smirk disappeared abruptly at the
single statement
 from Pluto. Usagi was even more stunned.

    "Wh- what did you say? No?! But you can’t! I ordered you!" Usagi’s eyes
flashed with
 anger but Pluto calmly closed her eyes and replied. "Your highness, I
cannot do this. Even
 if you do order me." Usagi stopped abruptly and the two older people of the
group had to
 stop and turn back to her. She was just staring at them, eyes flaming and
small fists
 clenched at her sides. "Do it now guardian of Pluto. Before, it might have
just been a
 personal preference of mine but now it’s a disregard of authority."

    If the situation hadn’t been so serious Piccolo might have actually
smiled. (AN: yeah
 right! =~-^=) Usagi made quite a sight as a little child, spouting off to
the senshi. *She’s just
 like her father when it comes to some things. Her temper should be a little
better than his
 however. It must really be bothering her if she’s getting this mad.*

    Usagi, unbeknownst the the other two, was just as surprised at herself
as they were.
 *What am I thinking! This shouldn’t bother me so much. Maybe, it’s because
of my father.
 I want him to be . . . proud of me* She lowered her head slightly. *He
would be proud if he
 saw how strong I was. This body is too small and weak. I just have to
impress him!* She
 again raised her head and glared at Pluto so she would realize just how
serious she was
 being. 

    Pluto had gotten the message. She could, at times, read her princess
thoughts. As
 well as some other peoples thoughts. What she had heard had convinced her,
even if the
 princess’s little performance hadn’t. Outside she kept her face completely
devoid of
 emotion yet, inside, she was bursting with pride. *Good for you. It’s good
to see you
 standing up for what you want once in awhile princess. *

    "Very well. Just remember Usagi, this might not have been for the best."
*And I
 might just change my mind latter.* She closed her eyes and this time there
was the flash of
 light and crash from a change in air pressure. Usagi opened her eyes, since
she had
 squinted them from the unexpected flash, and was overjoyed at the sight of
her long hair
 and taller body. She let out a slight squeal and flew towards Pluto at a
tremendous speed,
 hugging her fiercely.

    As the two embraced she whispered softly in Pluto’s ear, her eyes
watering slightly.
 "I’m sorry I did that. I really am." Pluto just smiled and hugged her
oldest friend tighter.
 "It’s alright princess. I understand what you’ve been going through. Your
acting remarkably
 well for someone who is yanked from one dimension to another. Just
remember," Pluto
 whispered even more softly. "Your father would be proud of you no matter
what size you are.
 You are after all, the senshi of the cosmos."

    Usagi pulled back slightly and wiped her eyes yet again. "What do you
mean Pluto?
 Senshi of the cosmos?" Pluto just smiled and pulled away from the blond.
"Never mind
 Usagi. We’d better hurry if you want to see your family." Usagi’s perplexed
look remained on
 her face for just a moment longer then the joy of her return to this world
overtook her yet
 again. She grinned and nodded her head. "Let’s go!"

~Capsule Corps~

    Son Gohan was nearing the familiar building where the Briefs family
lived and
 worked. *Maybe I should tell Bulma about that girl. She might know
something. If she’s
 able to defeat Piccolo, than we might not stand a very good chance if she
turns out to be an
 enemy. * He nodded his head resolutely and quickly lowered himself to the
ground. *But,
 why did she have a tail?* As he neared the door of the building, he felt
suddenly nervous.
 He could sense his brothers ki, as well as Trunk’s, Vegeta’s and Bulma’s.
There was
 nothing wrong with them yet he felt tense. *It shouldn’t be this quite. It
feels like
 something's about to happen.*

    Instead of knocking he just opened the door and made his way cautiously
around the
 ground floor of the house. Seeing no-one he quickly headed upstairs, the
silence now
 deafening in the house usually filled with yelling or crashing. The first
room he checked
 was Trunk’s. Opening the door stealthfully Gohan stuck his head in for a
quick look. What
 met his eyes almost made him gasp in shock. Goten and Trunks, playing a
quiet card game.
 He blinked and rubbed one eye in disbelief. *I can’t believe it!*

---------

    Trunks grinned at Goten as he shuffled his cards back and forth, looking
quite lost.
 *I’m sure to win now! He doesn’t even know the rules! Baka!* He smothered a
laugh as he
 watched Goten pull one card from his hand and turn it over. And over again.
This
 continued until he finally smiled, as though in understanding. In reality
he smiled because
 he had sensed Gohan hiding behind the door.

    *Great! Not only do I have the perfect hand but when Trunks gets angry I
have a
 perfect escape! Gohan!* Trunks smirked at his Œoblivious’ friend and laid
his cards on the
 floor. "Pair of queens." His smirk stayed on his face until his friend
grinned ear to ear. "Oh
 yeah? Small straight." Trunks blinked in disbelief but Goten just jumped to
his feet and ran
 to the door. 

    As the door flew open Gohan, who was on the other side, Let out a small
yell and
 barely avoided being smashed into the wall by the high speed. Goten just
laughed and
 bounded down the stairs. *What’s he trying to do, kill me?!* Just as Gohan
was preparing to
 lunge down the stairs after his laughing brother Trunks came flying out of
the room as well.
 He dodged the door yet again. *What a day this is turning out to be!
Mystery girls beating
 Piccolo and now doors flying at me!*

---------

    *Why is he so. . . angry?* Bulma had been watching Vegeta in his raging,
that is until
 the banging now started down by Trunks room and swiftly moved down the
stairs. That
 could only mean one thing. *Goten and Trunks are fighting again!* She
frowned and angrily
 pushed the loose piece of hair from her face yet again. *Figures.*

    Just as she was about to go down the stairs the panel next to the
gravity room
 beeped, indicating the gravity inside had been set back to normal. Seconds
later the door
 opened and a sweaty and emotionally drained Vegeta stepped out. *I’ll go
get those dragon
 balls right now!* He rubbed a towel absentmindedly across his forehead and
turned to
 Bulma with narrowed eyes.

    "What are you doing here woman? And what is that racket." Another loud
bang was
 heard and this time accompanied by a loud yell. "Hey! Ouch! Trunks!" This
time there was
 a small explosion which rocked the house slightly. Vegeta frowned and made
his way
 towards the noise. "Trunks! Come here right now brat!!" Bulma frowned at
her husband but
 followed him without comment. She was worried about him. *I’ve never seen
Vegeta quite
 like this! Well, he was like this a little while after Trunks was born but
now he seems. . . *

    Vegeta passed by Trunks’ room without even noticing Gohan. Gohan just
blinked
 and turned his head to Bulma who had stopped. "Hey Bulma, what’s wrong with
Vegeta?
 He doesn’t usually care if Trunks is trying to kill my little brother."
Bulma sighed and finally
 just tied her hair back from her face. "I don’t know what’s wrong Gohan. I
was watching
 him in the gravity room and he was. . . " She sighed and just shook her
head. "I wish I knew
 what was bothering him."

---------

    Usagi sighed in happiness as a building came into view and Pluto
announced that
 they had arrived. *Finally! I get to meet my real family. I get to meet
people who will
 understand me and not treat me like trash, or like something that is so
easily broken.* Her
 thoughts drifted to what had been her final scout meeting. Everyone had
been present
 except for the senshi of time. Now Usagi knew why.

~Flashback of the Meeting~

    Usagi absentmindedly rolled a crumb, from the muffins Makoto had baked,
around
 the top of the smooth table. She was slouching on the table while the other
senshi were
 crowded around arguing about their future. Usagi had tuned it out after
they started talking
 about her own future. *After all, I have no say in it so what reason do I
have to listen.* She
 sighed and crushed the crumb flat with her pointer finger.

    Haruka and Michiru were in the corner of the small room and were just
watching and
 listening as the inners and cats argued. The tall sandy blond sighed
dramatically and
 crossed her arms across her chest. "To think that these same noisy girls
are the senshi of
 the inner planets is almost unbelievable." The aqua haired girl next to her
just nodded.
 "Yes. Yet, our princess seems to have more on her mind than the fate of our
future."

    She nodded her head in the odango headed girls direction. Usagi was now
moving
 her fingers along the edge as though they were a pair of legs. She made
them jump,kick,
 and fly through the air in an elaborate game that the outers could only
guess at the meaning.
 Haruka shook her head at the forlorn look on Usagi’s face but her attention
was pulled from
 the moon royalty by a small hand pulling the edge of her jacket.

    It was Hotaru. "Haruka-papa? I have a message from Setsuna." Even though
the
 inners had been having quite a heated argument they were still able to her
Œmessage from
 Setsuna.’ and were listening with baited breath. Usagi hadn’t noticed a
thing as she
 continued to run her fingers through their rigorous exercise. "She said
that she is going on a
 long trip and won’t be back for quite awhile." Haruka heard a hidden
message as well.
 *Usagi’s going to be leaving too.*

    *I may as well just leave. They’ll accomplish the same things with or
without me.*
 Usagi sighed and stood up with a faked yawn, ignoring the annoyed look from
Rei
 and the worried look from Haruka. "You guys, I think we should just
continue this later. I’m
 really tired." She yawned again for good measure then, without waiting for
a response,
 rushed from the shrine and down the stairs. Haruka was about to follow but
Hotaru’s hand
 stopped her. "She has to go." She bowed her head in defeat. *Princess, I
hope you’ll be
 alright.*

~End Flashback~

    *They wanted to rule my life.* Her eyes watered slightly. *I do miss
them though.*
 She followed Pluto and Piccolo and soon they were all on solid ground
again. Usagi was so
 nervous that she was wringing her hands and her eyes darted from one moving
object to
 another. Piccolo frowned. "They’re coming."

    Indeed, Œthey’ were coming. After the small explosion that startled
Usagi greatly, two
 young boys came flying out the front door. The first had spiky black hair
and was currently
 babbling about not wanting to die and the other had short lavender hair and
was yelling
 about the many tortures he would put the other through. The new arrivals
went unnoticed
 by the two as they flew by. Pluto smiled. "Usagi. That was your twin
brother Trunks."

    Usagi stared as the boys continued their Œargument’. *This is my
brother? He’s so
 chibi!* She giggled and unknowingly caught the boys’s attention. They had
stopped barely
 five feet away from the three and so all had a good view of the others.
Trunks scratched his
 head. *She looks familiar for some reason.* "Who are you?" Silence
descended until Piccolo
 finally grew tired of it.

    "Maybe you should introduce yourself brat." Trunks and Goten blinked and
shared a
 confused glance. Was he talking to one of them? Usagi cleared her throat.
"Okay Piccolo.
 Hello! My name is Usagi and I’m-" Trunks! Come here right now brat!" Trunks
groaned as
 he recognized the voice. "Great. Now my tousan’s mad at me!" Goten laughed
at his friend
 until a thought occurred to him. *He’ll kill me too!* He groaned along with
his friend. 

    Usagi felt her heartbeat quicken as she heard someone nearing the front
door of the
 house. *It’s him! It’s my father!* She wet her lips nervously and moved
next to Sailor Pluto.
 The senshi of time glanced down at her before grabbed her hand. *The time
has come for
 me to receive the punishment for my actions.* She held her head high and
waited for her
 fate. Piccolo moved over to Trunks and Goten so as to separate himself from
the duo who
 were going to cause all the trouble. Trunks sighed as he glanced up at him
and then his
 eyes turned back to the door.

    Suddenly the front door blasted open with such force that the handle got
stuck in
 the wall as it slammed. Vegeta stormed out with a frown upon his face. His
eyes quickly
 settled on the group and he did a double take as he saw someone he easily
recognized. *It’s
 her!* Pluto nodded once in his direction. "Greetings yet again your
highness. It has been
 quite awhile hasn’t it?" He snarled at her and balled up his fists. "You
bitch!! Now you die
 for what you’ve done!!" He didn’t even notice the blond standing next to
his target as he
 flew straight at Pluto turning SSJ in the air.

    Sailor Pluto had been prepared for this and pushed Usagi away as she
created a quick
 shield around herself. Vegeta’s punch connected with the shield and she let
out a cry from
 the pressure exerted on her as she tried to keep the shield up. Vegeta
quickly shot a ki
 blast at the shield and it finally collapsed, causing Pluto to actually
have to try to dodge or
 block the blows that rained down on her. Usagi was watching the fight with
a horrified
 expression while Trunks and Goten were thoroughly confused.

    Pluto had succeeded in dodging most of his blows so far which only
infuriated him
 further. *What is she doing here anyway?!* He finally stepped back and
smirked at her. "It
 seems you haven’t gotten any better through the years yet I have. Prepare
to go to the next
 dimension! Final Flash!" He throws his hands out and the large ball of
energy flies towards
 Pluto. All the green haired woman can accomplish in her exhaustion however
is a quick
 glance at Usagi. *I’m sorry my princess. I never should’ve taken you from
your home. Believe
 me.*

    Usagi heard the senshi of time and at the last second she jumped in the
way of the
 energy. Vegeta started as she jumped in the way and it clicked in his mind
that she looked
 familiar. He then realized who it was and stared in shock. *Could this
really be. . . Usagi? My
 daughter?!*  The blond held her hands to either side of her and with a
frown yelled, "Moon
 Eternal Make-up!"

---------

    By this time Gohan and Bulma had reached the open front door and were
staring.
 Bulma had no idea why her husband was attacking this woman and neither did
Gohan. He
 did however recognize to blond who jumped in the way of Vegeta’s blast.
*She’ll be killed!*
 "Wait! don’t-" Suddenly the mystery girl yelled something he couldn’t
understand and she
 disappeared in a flash of white light. When it died away she now stood in
an extremely
 short tricolored skirt with a large pair of white wings on her back.
*Shit! Who IS she?!*

---------

    Usagi frowned as the blast drew even nearer and quickly brought a shield
around
 herself and her senshi. *I never thought my father would ever actually try
to kill her!* The ki
 ball struck her shield and she grimly held it up. Vegeta and the others
watching waited to
 see if she had survived the blast. Vegeta and Gohan were especially
worried. Gohan actually
 came running up beside Vegeta and both stared wide eyed as the dust started
to clear and
 they could see Usagi standing straight as a statue, a smirk on her face.
"Hello Father."
