Surprised that I had a short intro? Me too! =~-^=) I donıt own these character, donıt sue! 

Notes: * * - Thoughts
------- - Change of character or room

~Outside of Capsule Corp~

She rubbed the back of her bruised hand along her bleeding lip as she watched the 
princess of two dimensions. *She saved my life. She really has forgiven me. Now, if 
only her father was so forgiving.* She glared at the saiyan over Eternal Sailor Moonıs 
shoulder. The blond kept the smirk on her face and turned to the senshi of time. ³Are 
you okay Puu?² The green haired woman nodded. ³Iım fine Usagi but why did you turn i
nto Eternal Sailor Moon? You couldıve blocked that blast on your own.²

Usagi thought about this for a few seconds then rubbed the back of her neck as she
smiled stupidly. ³I forgot about that! I guess it was more like habit for me!² Pluto and
Piccolo both sweat dropped slightly. A little later in the day the group had moved into the
large building which was a relif to the injured time senshi. All the people from the DBZ 
dimension where standing arouns while Usagi, Vegeta, Pluto and Gohan had made use of 
the few chairs. Gohan turned his head slowly to look at the saiyan prince beside him.
*Sheıs Vegetaıs daughter? How?* 

Vegeta was mesmerized by the sight of his daughter. His heir. *Could this really be
my daughter? Or is it just a trick that woman is pulling?* He watched in wonder as she again
changed forms, the sheepish look still on her face. When she turned back towards him
however, the smirk returned. She was of average height with long blond hair up in a
ridiculous hairstyle. Her blue eyes stared straight into his. ³That was quite a greeting you
gave Sailor Pluto Father.² Vegeta frowned. 

³I donıt know what your trying to pull woman but this girl isnıt my daughter! She
would only be eight years old by now!² Usagi winced and received a glare from Pluto. ³I
know that your majesty. In the dimension she has been living in time passed twice as fast.²
Vegeta continued frowning until his eyes fell on something. ³A tail.²

Everyone turned towards him and Bulma made her way to his side as he changed
back from SSJ. ³A tail? What do you mean?² Vegetaıs classic smirk was on his face now.
³She has a tail. She IS my daughter. The heir to the throne that was stolen from me eight
years ago by that woman!² He almost lost his temper again but when his eyes met Usagiıs,
her sudden glare made him back down. ³She is the twin of that brat over there and was
stolen from the hospital on the day of her birth.²

Bulma was stupefied. After all, itıs not everyday that a girl suddenly appears out of
nowhere and claims to be your daughter. *Why does Vegeta know this? Why canıt I
remember any of this?!* She frowned, put her hands on her hips and walked straight up to
Usagi and Pluto. ³So. You claim to be my daughter?² Usagi nodded once and started playing
with her hair in her nervousness. *What if she doesnıt like me? What if. . . * 

Bulma continued to study the girl as she stared at the ground in between them. ³If
your my daughter than why donıt I know about it? Why does just Vegeta know?² Pluto
stepped forward slightly. ³I think I can answer that question. You see, Usagi was needed in
another dimension. I . . . took her from your husband that night in the hospital eight years
ago. I promised him I would bring her back after sixteen years but as I said before, time
passed differently for us. The reason only Vegeta knows is because I chose it. For Usagi to
be reaccepted into this dimension without disrupting the time or dimensional streams I
needed one person to remember that she existed here. I chose Vegeta since he is her
father.² 

Bulma accepted this with only a dazed look. ³So, this girl here is my daughter?² Pluto
and Usagi both nodded and Bulma felt tears coming to her eyes. She stared Usagi in the
eye for a few seconds than jumped towards her and gave her a tight hug. ³I have a
daughter!!² Her happy cries increased in volume as Trunks watched with a frown.

*My twin?! Who does she think she is?!* Goten was watching with a smile. ³Look
Trunks! You have a twin sister whoıs older than you!² He started laughing loudly as Trunks
sneered at him. ³Sheıs not my twin! Let alone my sister!!² Piccolo suddenly interrupted. ³As
a matter of fact, she is. I have trained her and know for a fact that she is a saiyan and your
sister.² Gohan, who had overheard this, stared from Piccolo to Usagi and back.

³You mean you really trained her? The same way you trained me?³ Piccolo nodded.
³She is very good. Fast, strong, agile. She always seems to have another move hidden away as
well.² Gohan gazed at Usagi with new eyes. Usagi blushed under the praise of her former
mentor. ³Aw, gee Piccolo! Thanks!² Piccolo frowned. ³She is also annoying and lacks good
defensive skills!² Usagiıs blush was in anger this time and Pluto laughed slightly. 

Vegeta smirked. ³Fast and strong, eh? Maybe I should see just how good you really
are brat.² Usagi pouted. ³Brat? Thatıs no fair!² Vegeta smirked. ³Oh yeah, brat? Come on
then! Show me your best move!² Everyone backed up slightly and Pluto turned to Usagi
with a smile. ³Use your weakest attack Usagi. He might not be able to stand up to a full
blast.² Vegeta heard this of course and growled in annoyance.

³Oh yeah?! Try me!²He quickly powered up to SSJ and smirked once again at Usagi,
who was now alone on the makeshift battlefield. ³Well, get on with it! Power up!² Usagi
smiled at this. ³I already have.² Vegeta blinked and quickly read her power level. It was very
low. Barely 5,000. Vegeta sneered. ³This is your power? You must be hiding quite a lot. At
least I hope so.² Usagi frowned but decided not to retort.

*After all, he doesnıt know anything about me! How would he know that my power
level is not so easily read. The last time Pluto estimated it my power level was at least. . .
what was it again?* She sweat dropped. ³Alright. Here goes! Full Moon Combination!² It
was the same move she had used against Piccolo earlier, Gohan noted. *I think sheıll need
more than that if she want to beat Vegeta.* 

The saiyan prince just sneered and held out one hand to deflect the beam. ³Please
say this wasnıt your best. Even Trunks couldıve blocked that one.² Both Trunks and Usagi
glared at him in anger. ³To think that your actually my daughter. I wouldıve done better with
just a normal human!²

She balled her fists at her sides and felt her eyes start to water, which Vegeta
noticed quite easily. ³Now your crying?! You mean your friends really did die because of you?
How many? Two? Three? All of them?² Vegeta already knew the answer to this question
since Plutoıs letter had explained it all to him. He was deliberately trying to anger her so as
to see if she would be able to turn SSJ. *She should be getting angry enough by now! What
else does it take?!* 

Pluto frowned and narrowed her eyes at Vegeta. She understood what he was doing
but didnıt approve of his methods. *He may actually push her TOO far. Losing all of the
senshi, including me, was the worst thing she ever went through. And it happened more
than once. He may be getting more than he bargained for when he finally pushes her over
the edge.*

Usagi was trembling with her barely contained rage. She knew that what he was
saying was wrong. It hadnıt been her fault, the scouts had told her so. Vegeta finally was
getting annoyed. Her power level had risen slightly but she hadnıt achieved SSJ. *Can it be
that she wonıt be able to?* He shook his head. *No. It has to be possible. She has a tail after
all.* 

Vegeta continued taunting her. ³And to think that you are all that that other
dimension had to protect them! Ha! How many of your friends died trying to protect you
because you couldnıt protect yourself?² He smirked at the Blond. *Usagi just stared in pure
anger. *How DARE he?!! It wasnıt my fault!!* 

³IT WASNıT MY FAULT!!!² Vegeta fell silent at the scream of rage from the
usually calm blond. Her aura burst to life around her, burning an angry red. ³How dare you
say that to me! Iıll make you pay!!!² She threw her head back and everyone backed up as her
aura grew even brighter. Vegeta decided to put in one last taunt for good measure. ³Sure
brat. Iıll bet your not able to do anything without your little senshi here to protect you!² 

Suddenly there was a large flash and Usagiıs moon sigil appeared on her forehead.
Her hair changed to a bright silver and seemed to glow with an inner light. Her once deep
blue eyes were now an incandescent silver. Her tail was unwrapped from her waist and she
was glaring at Vegeta who was astounded by the amount of power emanating from her.
*How can this be?! * 

³Now. You will be punished father. I am the protector of the innocent and the
upholder of justice. In the name of my friends, you will wish you had never said any of those
things!!² Vegeta was frozen in shock and didnıt even have time to dodge as Usagiıs fist
connected with his jaw. Followed by a kick to the gut and then another punch to the head
and then he lost track of the numerous blows landing on him from every direction. With a
burst of effort he jumped away ten feet to catch his breath. 

Usagi had also stopped and her cold glare continued to bore into him. ³To think I
went through everything in that other dimension just to be here with you and my family. I
thought you would understand me.² She again charged at him, only to be blocked by both
Piccolo and Pluto. ³Princess, you donıt really want to do this. Your father only wanted you to
learn how to go SSJ. Please calm down² 

Piccolo was silent but his calm glare was what really knocked Usagi back to her
senses. She blinked and looked to Vegeta. He was bleeding in numerous places and
holding his arms close to his body. She noticed the death glare he was sending her and
almost felt her heart break. *Oh no! What have I done! Pluto was right! He was just testing
me and I couldıve killed him!* Tears started streaming down her cheeks and she slowly
started shaking her head, as though she could just deny what had just happened. 

Gohan was watching it all in sympathy. He knew what it was like for someone close
to you to suddenly turned against you. *Poor Usagi. * Vegeta was actually in pain but was
trying not to show it. After all, she was his daughter and she shouldnıt have been able to
hurt him, right? Trunks and Goten were in shock, as was Bulma. The two boys had never
felt a power like that. Was it possible that she really was Trunksı sister?

Usagi shuddered as she read her own version of the looks she was receiving. *They
hate me. All of them.* She started to back away, her white hair dragging in the dirt slightly.
There eyes tracked her as she made her way farther and farther away. *I. . . I have to get out
of here.* With that last thought she shot into the air as fast as her new SSJ from could go.
Long gone before even Pluto and Vegeta had the chance to see where she was headed.

+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+

OMG!! Iım sorry I did that to you guys! *cries pitifully* You like my story and now I
go and do something like this! I wonıt blame you if you never read my stories again.
*Blubbering uselessly* I promise Ill never do it again! Iıll also punish my little bro for think
of it. Time to die Sammy!!!! *LOL* Sorry.. *sigh* Ja ne.

~ Unknown Destiny ~
Chapter Five

Hello minna-san. *bows* I am finally getting another chapter of my story
out. =^-^= I hope you like it but bear in mind that my brain works
differently than yours so my ideas for what should happen next may
differ with yours.=~-^= Oh yeah, I donıt own either of the anime/manga
Sailor Moon or Dragonball Z. R&R! =~-~= *grin* That said, on with the
show!


~Later That Same Day~

Complete silence reined as the sun finally slid from view behind a distant
mountain range. Everything was bathed in a warm orange and red glow.
*Perfect.* Usagi closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the cool,
crisp air. As she released it it seemed the world sighed along with her as
a sharp wind blew up at her from the canyon below. Yet, she didnıt
shiver once. She was too numb, both in body and mind.

She was sitting comfortably upon the edge of a jagged cliff, kicking her
legs now and then to keep her body warm. She blinked a few times as
the sky darkened to a light purple and finally became aware of how cold
she was becoming. With a sigh she reached up and undid her odangos,
letting the hair fall freely around her like a curtain. As ineffective as this
may have seemed to block the chill wind she soon stopped shivering. 

Her legs were still cold however so she lifted them back from the edge
and hugged her knees to her body. As she became more comfortable she
started to come back to the land of the living, so to speak. the shock of
the happenings of the day had been too much for her already frazzled
mind. After all, it was only months after she had watched her friends, no,
family die in front of her eyes. And now, she comes here expecting a
warm welcome and instead gets accused of causing her friendsı deaths.

The wind picked up yet again and her hair billowed around her like a
golden halo. She hugged her legs tighter as s few tears trickled from her
pained blue eyes. She had come to this mountain top to be away from
Vegeta. Away from Pluto and Piccolo. Away from any form of civilization.
Now, she was regretting the decision. She was lost, that she knew with
certainty. 

The sky was now mostly dark with only a small lightening of the sky to
show where the sun had set. As the stars began to appear Usagi wiped
the tears from her cheeks and straightened up. She had finally noticed
that there was something different about the sky here. Her eyes darted
around frantically, trying to disprove her theory of what was missing. The
moon. It was gone. *That means. . . that I canıt talk with mother here.
Just when I thought I couldnıt get more alone something like this turns
up.* 

She stood with a grimace as blood rushed back into her blood deprived
feet. She stamped her left foot to see if it improved anything but decided
she may as well live with the pins and needles. Her hair dangled slightly
onto the ground but she didnıt notice. Shuffling her feet slightly in the
rocks and weeds she made her way to the cover of the trees. *It doesnıt
matter if I stay here or go to a town or city. They wonıt be looking for me
anyways.* With that melancholy thought she hung her head and pulled
her exhausted body deeper into the forest to find shelter. 

~C.C~ 

Bulma calmly continued stirring the steaming pot in front of her as Vegeta
slammed his fist against the table top behind her. Again. He had been
throwing the occasional temper tantrums since Usagi had left hours
before. Now that it was dark out Bulma insisted that they all eat
something. Vegeta disagreed. ³Woman! How can you just sit there
stirring that slop?! Arenıt you even worried about my daughter?!² 

Bulmaıs stirring stopped and her body tensed. ³Your daughter?² She spun
around and glared at him. ³Sheıs MY daughter too! I would much rather
be out there looking for her but as you all said we canıt seem to detect
her ki! I barely got to meet my little girl before you drove her away! So
donıt talk to me about what I should or shouldnıt do. You seemed to
think it was a really go idea to scare her away from us!² She fixed a
death glare on Vegeta before turning back to her pot. 

The saiyan just frowned and folded his arms. Gohan, sitting to the older
manıs left, leaned back in his chair slightly and looked around the room.
Pluto as standing vigil by the front door, awaiting Piccoloıs return. Trunks
and Goten were across the table from him both looking tired and bored.
*I can relate with being tired.* He stifled a yawn and closed his eyes
slightly, thinking of what had happened after the blond had disappeared.
(AN: Donıt you all just luv flashbacks? =~-^=)

~Flashback~ 

Gohan slowly made his way back to the ground but was stopped by the
approaching form of Vegeta. ³I couldnıt catch her. Sorry.² Vegeta just
stared in the direction where Usagi had disappeared. He turned his head
back to look at the group on the ground then glared at Gohan. 

³Tell them I went to find my daughter.² He powered up slightly and was
just about to speed away when he was stopped by Gohan's hand on his
arm. He bared his teeth in pain since it was the same arm that had been
injured in the fight but quickly covered the look of pain with his mask of
arrogance. ³What do you want baka?!²

Gohan stared him full in the face, his eyes hard and serious. ³Iım going
with you.² Vegeta blinked a few times but quickly regained his
composure and pulled his arm from the half saiyans grasp. The wind
picked up just as four more figures came flying up. It was Pluto, Piccolo,
Trunks, and Goten. 

Pluto tried to keep her voice steady as she made her way to the saiyans
side. ³We are all going.² Vegeta just stared at her and she stared back,
her maroon eyes glistening with unshed tears. ³It is partially my fault
that she ran away. I knew what you were doing and what the possible
outcome would be but I didnıt stop you. I should have helped her
understand what you were doing. She is very protective of all the senshi
of our world and if I had let her she could have saved all of us in the
battle with Sailor Galaxia.² She bowed her head. ³It was my fault so I will
help find the Princess.²

Vegeta digested the information and just snorted as his response. ³Do
whatever you wish woman just donıt get in my way.² He turned his back
to her and frowned in concentration. Gohan also concentrated as he
tried to pick up any traces of Usagiıs ki. Pluto and Piccolo shared a glance
and Pluto nodded once to Piccolo who swiftly flew away. Gohan quickly
noticed his absence however and turned to Pluto questioningly.

³Whereıs he going? Does he know where she went?² Pluto shook her
head.

³No he does not. You see, Usagiıs ki is unreadable. Even if she werenıt
masking it, which I know she is, you wouldnıt be able to find her. It is
because of her lunarian blood. If the moon were still present in this
dimension than it would be a simple matter to locate her.² Gohan blinked
a few times and now even Vegeta was listening.

³If the moon were here her ki would, in essence, rebound off of the moon
and after that pinpointing her would be easy. It is because of her link
with her mother, Queen Serenity, that makes that possible. When she
communicates with her she has to use some of her ki and when she
sends it to the moon it always rebounds back to her in the form of her
mothers message.²

Gohan nodded his head slightly. ³That makes sense. . . sort of. But what I
donıt get yet is what this has to do with why Piccolo left.² Vegeta
frowned and added his two cents. ³If youıd just get to the point woman
than I wouldnıt have to hear the rest of your stupid babbling.² Pluto
sighed but continued with her explanation.

³We both agreed that restoring the moon would be the easiest and
fastest way to locate our princess. He has left to gather the dragon balls
and wish it back into existence.² Gohan grinned and Vegeta just smirked. 

³Thatıs great! Well than, what are we waiting for? Lets go get those
dragon balls!² Gohan sped away but Pluto stopped him with a yell. 

³There is no need for all of us to go! Piccolo has kept six of them gathered
and is only going to retrieve them and the other one.² Goten nodded.
³Yeah. One is at my house so that would explain why heıs not using the
dragon radar.² 

Vegeta frowned and turned to Pluto, his arms folded. ³Then, are we just
supposed to wait for the green baka?² Pluto nodded and slowly the
group made there way back to the building.

~End Flashback~

Gohan sighed and rubbed his eyes wearily. It had been hours and still
Piccolo hadnıt returned. How long did it take to get the seven balls
anyways? His eyes flew open as Vegeta hit the table yet again. ³Damn!
Whatıs taking the namek so long?!² A cool voice answered.

³I donıt think I took that long Vegeta.² There, now standing next to Pluto,
was Piccolo holding a bag containing the seven small balls. ³I have them
all here so we may as well make our wish now.² Everyone jumped to
their feet and rushed passed him into the yard. Vegeta grabbed the bag
from his hands as he passed and opened it. *Now Iıll find her.* He
smirked in triumph and carried the bag with him outside.

Everyone had arranged themselves in a loose half circle and waited
patiently as Vegeta carefully set the balls on the ground. He glanced to
his left and right and received a nod from Pluto. With that he summoned
the dragon with a yell.

~The Forest~

Usagi huddled closer to the trunk of the tree as she played with a piece
or her hair. She was close to the top of one of the towering trees and
had a good view of the starry sky. Just as she was about to doze off
there was a sudden flash of light and she blinked. When her eyes
reopened she saw something that left her in shock. There was the moon,
full a bright where it was supposed to be. 

Usagi grinned and climbed to her feet. Just as she was about to shout
out a mental greeting to her mother when she froze. *How did it just
appear? Did Pluto do something? If so, why?* She stared into space as
she contemplated the answer. Then, it came to her. *Theyıre trying to
find me. They want to track me with the moon. No matter. I can outrun
them before they get here. I really need motherıs advise right now.* She
sighed and ran a hand through her hair.

Usagi closed her eyes and, holding onto a thin branch next to her, silently
called out to her motherıs spirit in the ruins of the moon kingdom. After
several minutes with no response she opened her eyes again in defeat.
*Why isnıt she answering?* She stared up at the moon as itıs light
shone down on her. *I forgot. Iım in a different dimension. She never
existed here.* 

Usagi hugged her body as she continued to stare at the moon. It seemed
to grow in her eyes until it was almost all she could see. She blinked her
eyes in confusion but they never left the glowing orb in the sky. Suddenly
her back felt as though it was on fire and she doubled over in pain. The
forest was silent as she cried out and fell to her knees on the branch.
Suddenly there was a ripping of cloth and the pain vanished as swiftly as
it had appeared. 

Usagi blinked a few times in surprise. *What was that?!* She climbed
back to her feet and reached her hand out to the trunk to steady herself.
Her hair felt as though it was tangled in the branches so she tugged it
free and pulled it over her shoulder. That when she noticed them. She
had grown wings. 

+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+

Review okay? Sorry itıs so short. =^-^=;; I still have writers block. :P Oh
yeah, as if it isnıt obvious I ditched my earlier idea of adding Videl to the
story. Gomen to Videl fans but this story changes by the minute. Ja ne!

~ Unknown Destiny ~
Chapter Six

Well, It seems Iıll be writing with my writers block for awhile so once itıs
gone expect most of these chapters to be revised. This chapter is going
to finally have a private scene between Usagi and Vegeta! =~-^= Oh
yeah. I had Usagi have wings when she transformed because I just
couldnıt see her actually turning into a giant, furry, out of control wear
monkey. *shrugs* It actually works well with my story as well. Hope you
like this chapter! Ja ne! =^-^=

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

~The Forest~

Usagi blinked her eyes in shock at the sight. This soon turned to curiosity
and she started studying the newly grown appendages. *After all, Iıve
already had wings when I was Sailor Moon. This is probably going to be
no different.* The wings, she noticed, were much larger than when she
had fought Chaos. So large that she had to close them tight against her
body to be able to turn in the closed in space of the trees. They also
looked more durable and she grasped one of the feathers in reach,
careful not to pull on it too much, and studied it closer. 

The feather was a pearly white and the edges glinted in the moonlight.
*At least they are pretty.* She smiled slightly at the thought and ran her
finger along the shimmering edge. She had barely touched it when she
suddenly pulled her hand away with a yelp of pain. *It cut me!* She
stuck the injured digit in her mouth and sucked on it until the pain was
gone. *These things sure are sharp. If Iım not careful I could injure
myself just sitting still!* 

The wind blew once again and Usagi ended up with strands of her golden
tresses blowing into her face and catching on the sharp edges of her
feathers. *Great. If I know Pluto sheıll be rushing her as soon as she
can. If I canıt even see because of this hair than how am I going to get
away? I . . I donıt want to talk to Pluto right now.* 

With a quick glance around her eyes settled on her wings. She shook her
head with a frown. *Itıd hurt too much! Not just pulling one out but
probably cutting myself too!* She then reached her hand out and
grabbed a moonbeam right out of the air. *Now Iım glad Mother taught
me this little trick! To think she wanted me to use it to make dresses or
jewelry!*Usagi shook her head with a smile. 

She pulled and tugged at the pale light as though it were taffy. Finally,
she had what resembled a short, if rough, knife. She sighed but pulled a
handful of hair tight, preparing to cut it. *I guess now I wonıt be called
meatball head anymore.* Her eyes watered slightly as the name
reminded her of her friends from the other dimension. *Rei. Seiya.
Haruka. I miss them all so much. But this is my home. This is where I
belong and where Iım going to stay.* She closed her eyes, causing the
tears to spill out, and sliced through her hair.

--------

Not far from where Usagi had hidden herself a familiar figure is racing
towards her. His spiky black hair and permanent scowl were clearly
visible in the light of the full moon. Vegeta. After he had wished the moon
back into existence locating Usagiıs ki had been quite easy. He had sped
away and Sailor Pluto had kept anyone else from following him. For that
he was grateful. 

He reached a cliff and slowed down some. *Her ki isnıt far from here. Iıd
better slow down so I donıt end up scaring her away.* He drifted
towards the forest and then above it. He continued his slow speed,
scanning the forest floor below him the whole while. He was barely 50
yards from the tree Usagi was in when he spotted her. He didnıt
recognize her at first. The wings and jaggedly cut hair disguised her
identity. 

³Usagi.² With a gasp the girl dropped something which quickly
disappeared to the forest floor. Her surprised face was quickly covered
by a mask of indifference. Vegeta continued to her branch as she
watched with emotionless eyes. *Why does she have wings?! Whyıd she
cut her hair and why is she glowing?!* She was, indeed, glowing with a
light as pale as that from the moon above. Her eyes followed him as he
landed on the thick branch next to her. 

They continued the staring contest until Vegeta felt something break
inside of him. With a sigh he lowered his eyes in defeat as Usagi
watched in astonished silence. ³Iım sorry.² He kept his head lowered as
the blondıs jaw dropped. 

*Did he just say. . . sorry?* The blond nervously ran her fingers through
her now short hair. *Do I forgive him? He is my father after all. I
understand now why he did what he did earlier.* She felt tears once
again well up in her eyes and she smiled as she realized that, yes, she
had forgiven him. With a sob she jumped forward and hugged him
tightly. ³Iım sorry tousan! Iım so sorry I ran away from you all. I just. . .²
Her voice trailed off as she started sobbing against him.

Vegeta was looking down at her in surprise. He had only been hugged by
one person in his whole life and that person was this girls human
mother. *But this is my . . . daughter. My heir.* With a small smile he
prepared to hug her back. AS his hands reached her back, however, they
met with a painful surprise however and he drew back from the blond. 

Usagi was hurt when she felt him pull away but when she saw his hands
she gasped. They were bleeding! ³Are you okay tousan?! Iım sorry! Itıs .
. .these wings.² His head had been lowered as he examined the deep
cuts but it flew back up to stare her in the face. 

³Why do you have wings girl?² Usagi sighed and tore the bottom edge of
her shirt off and started wrapping the bleeding hand. She pulled it tight
and started her explanation.

³I donıt really know why I have wings. I was sitting here, trying to
communicate with my mother, Queen Serenity, when suddenly my back
started hurting. The next thing I knew I had wings.² She shrugged and
sat down on the branch, Vegeta following suit.

Vegeta stared up at the moon for a few moments when it came to him.
He turned to her with a small smirk. ³Were you looking directly at the
moon?² Usagi wrinkled her brow in confusion but nodded her head.
Vegeta shook his head slightly. ³You must have transformed but I have
no idea why you have wings. You should have changed into an oozaru
since you have your tail.² 

Usagi wrinkled her nose and started swinging her legs. ³Oozaru? Whatıs
that?² Vegeta continued staring at the moon. Usagi was watching the
way the light her skin gave off caused different shadows on the branch
and trunk of the tree. She was still quite nervous around this new found
father of hers.

³Oozaru is what we call the transformed state of a saiyan. When we see
the light of the full moon when we have our tails then we transform into
a gigantic were Œmonkeyı. It causes our power to increase ten fold.²
Vegeta noticed Usagiıs little light show and smirked slightly. 

Usagi looked up at the moon thoughtfully, her interest in her self
illumination momentarily lost. ³So, I should be a big monkey? I think Iıd
rather have the wings.² Vegeta snorted as a response and Usagi giggled
slightly. Her face suddenly grew more solemn. ³Did Pluto send you to
come get me?² 

Vegeta rolled his eyes and turned his gaze to the darker parts of the
forest. ³That baka woman? No. I came by myself and specifically told
everyone else to stay put.² 

Usagi nodded her head but then turned away. She lowered her gaze to
the branch they were sitting on and started tugging nervously on the
shards of bark. ³Are you going to make me go back there?² 

Vegeta blinked and frowned slightly. ³Why not? If you want to get
training from me than youıd have to go back. Otherwise, youıll not be
able to use the gravity machine.² 

Usagiıs eyes had lit up when he spoke of training. ³Really?! You mean you
really want to train me?!² She clasped her hands together in anticipation
of the response and her eyes shined.

Vegeta smirked at her and crossed his arms. ³Of course. You are my heir
after all and therefore need to be trained by me.² Usagiı eyes started
watering again and Vegeta frowned. *Why is she going to cry now?
Females are weak when it comes to emotions. At least I know that my
daughter isnıt weak.* He smirked at the thought but then frowned at
Usagi. ³Why are you crying now girl?²

Usagi just wiped her eyes and smiled brightly at him. ³Donıt worry . .
.tousan. Iım just very happy thatıs all. Just yesterday I would never have
thought that I would get the chance to actually train with my father. The
king of the saiyans.² She looked at him happily and smiled and Vegeta
couldnıt help but smile back at his proud daughter.

³Come on then girl. Weıd better go before that woman starts pitching a
fit.² He turned to get ready to fly away when Usagi stopped him. 

³Woman? Do you mean Pluto again?² Usagi tilted her head a little and
furrowed her brow.

Vegeta smirked at her as she stood next to him. ³No. Iım talking about my
mate. Bulma.² 

Usagi stared for a few seconds and than started giggling. ³You actually
call her Œwomanı and get away with it?!² Vegeta just smirked and
watched as she rose slowly into the air. After clearing the tops of the
trees she opened her wings, catching Vegeta by surprise.

³Whyıd you do that girl? You donıt need them to fly.² He frowned as she
flapped them a few times experimentally. After, she held still he lifted into
the air as well.

Usagi smiled and shook her head. ³Naw. I donıt need them to fly but it
was really fun to fly with my wings when I fought Chaos, even though I
was fighting at the time. Now Iım going to try it again, without having to
worry about being attacked or anything.² Vegeta just shook his head but
stayed a safe distance from the glowing girl and her razor sharp wings.
He nodded his head in the correct direction and they started off.

~Somewhere in Space~

The dark void known as space is home to many alien species with many
alien customs. It is also home to many thieves, pirates, and self
proclaimed rulers. One such ruler was seated in the personal chambers
of his war ship reading star maps. Damion Artice was of an unknown
alien race but he hardly seemed alien at all. His overly pale skin and
strangely luminescent eyes set him apart however. As well as the fact
that his hair was silver with bold streaks of pale red mixed in. Truly, he
was quite a sight to see.

Damion brushed his hair from his eyes and sighed in frustration but
continued plotting his route. He wished to find the quickest course to the
third planet of a distant solar system. During one of his routine checks for
suitable planets for conquest he had telepathically stumbled upon a
what was for him a pleasant surprise. A girl. 

He had been wearing a device that helped amplify his brain waves,
making his telepathic searches much more successful. As he was
scanning through an unknown solar system he was frozen as a simple
message rang through his head. It had been someone calling for their
mother. Damion had thought it to be a trick of some kind or a deliberate
intrusion to the difficult task he was performing and had been about to
respond quite angrily when a sudden image flashed through his
thoughts. 

Damion held his breath as he once again focused his thoughts upon his
first glimpse of the angel. A young girl who looked to be not much
younger than the ruler. A girl with shimmering blond hair and wide
pleading blue eyes. Her eyes seemed to pierce his very soul and the
sadness they conveyed prompted him to learn more of her. Using the
amplifier to itıs capacities he focused entirely upon the girl and watched
her.

She continued pleading with her unseen mother to answer her call and
when it appeared a fruitless endeavor she stopped her calls and thatıs
when things really grew interesting for the silver haired ruler. She had
grown wings. Damion had been quite confused by this strange
development but his confusion soon turned to excitement as he noticed
something he had earlier overlooked. 

*She had a tail. A white tail. She is a saiyan. I had thought they were all
dead but I guess I was wrong. Now I find out that not only are they not
extinct but there is a living albino. I had heard of only one other of their
race growing wings in their transformed state and she also was fair of
hair and eyes. She will be quite a prize to be won.* He smirked at the
thought and drew the final line to his new course. At the end of the fine
line was a small green circle. ³Earth.² Damion said as he rolled up the
chart and headed to the navigational center of his ship.

+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+

So, howıd you like it? Gomen for not getting it out sooner but school has
been hectic lately. I give the credit for the name Damion Artice to my
friend M-Chan. *waves and grins foolishly* Thanks again M-chan! =~-^=

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

~C. C~

The quiet in the small room was only broken by the ticking of a wall clock
and the disturbingly loud snores of Goten. Those who could somehow
block out the earth shattering sound had retreated into their own
thoughts. Those who couldnıt, Piccolo and Bulma, had retreated from the
room. That left only Pluto, Gohan, and Trunks. 

Pluto had her eyes closed and seemed to be meditating while Gohan
seemed to be counting how many swings of the clocks pendulum had
gone by since he had first started staring at the time piece. Trunks had
been nervously scratching his nails along the table top and had now
carved a small image into the wood that looked suspiciously like a chibi
stick figure girl with long hair and a tail. 

The purple haired wonder blinked at his handiwork and finally just let his
head fall to the table top with a loud sigh and thud. The thud awoke
Goten and pushed Gohan back into the present. Both demi saiyans
stared at Trunks then at each other. Goten smiled foolishly and shrugged
at his older brother. They were all startled even more by the sudden
voice of the timeless senshi. 

³Thatıs it then. Itıs time for me to leave.²

The green haired woman stood after this simple statement and headed
towards the door. Gohan jumped to his feet in confusion and Trunks and
Goten shared a quick glance. 

³Wait! Why are you leaving? What about Usagi?²

Setsuna turned back around to look at Gohan and smiled. Trunks stood
up as well and moved away from his spot beside Goten. 

³I only came to accompany Usagi until she had been reunited with her
father. Now that that is done I must get back to the job of guarding
time.²

Her dark maroon eyes flashed with a quick sadness but she quickly
turned and left through the now open door. Gohan rushed to the door
just in time to watch her disappear through a swirling portal. He sighed
and leaned against the door frame, still staring at the empty yard. *Now
what do I tell Usagi when she comes back?* Moments later he felt the
approach of a familiar ki and he gulped nervously as he scanned the far
horizon. 

The flashing white speck in the distance grew quickly and then in the blink
of an eye Gohan was faced with an interesting sight. The blond that he
hadnıt even known existed barely hours before was soaring towards the
building with a large pair of wings. He heard an exclamation behind him
and turned slightly to see Bulma staring as well. Goten and Trunks
pushed their way passed the taller people and both ogled as Vegeta and
Usagi came in for a landing.

³Oh man that is so cool! Trunks, your sis has got wings!²

Trunks couldnıt help hitting Gotenıs head with a grin. Gohan smiled
slightly at the pair as Goten started rubbing the back of his head with an
indignant look on his face.

³Baka. Sheıs not my sister. But your right. That is pretty cool.² 

Bulma ran out to them both as soon as their feet hit the ground. Goten
turned back to the open door and let out a loud yell to the current
occupant. Piccolo.

³Hey! Piccolo! Vegetaıs back with Trunksı sister! Come on out!² 

The namek was at the door in an instant and glaring at Goten who only
grinned and ran out to the small group in the yard. Trunks followed as
well, still thinking about the sister statement again. Gohan just stayed
where he was next to Piccolo, both watching and listening intently.

When Bulma had first seen Usagiıs hair and wings she let out out
gasp.The blond fingered the cropped locks in embarrassment and looked
away from Bulmaıs shocked face. 

³It got in the way. I had to cut it.²

³Demo. . . demo why do you have wings?!² Bulmaıs voice echoed slightly
in the still of the night and Vegeta couldnıt help but smirk at his mates
reaction. True, he had been shocked at first as well but he hadnıt been
that bad. Usagi blushed and glanced from one parent to the other,
hoping Vegeta would save her from having to explain. He just snorted
slightly and turned his head. Usagi sighed and turned back to face the
blue haired woman. 

³Well . . . tousan told me it was because of the full moon. Iıs better than
changing into a monkey right?² 

Usagi didnıt notice as Trunks flinched slightly when she said tousan. She
only noticed Bulmaıs reaction. Which was to faint. Vegeta just shook his
head, picked up the fainted Briefs woman, and headed to the house.
Usagi blinked at what had just happened. *Things are happening way
too fast for my tastes. Just this morning I was only worrying about
finishing school and being bored! Now here I am with an overly excitable
mom, a dad who is extremely prideful, a twin brother eight years
younger than me and . . . an extremely kawaii Guy just my age.* Usagi
suddenly smiled wide. *Perfect.*

Usagi was pulled from her thoughts by someone tugging on her wings.
She let out a small yelp and jumped away from the source of discomfort.
It was the small boy from earlier. He was rubbing the back of his neck as
though embarrassed but Usagi couldnıt help but yell at him.

³What do you think your doing you little baka?! That hurts ya know!²

Goten just chuckled weakly and smiled brightly. 

³I was just testing to see if they were real or not. Um. . .gomen?² 

Usagi frowned and tried to fold her wings even tighter against her body.
Just what she needed. Another spore to mess up her life. 

³Of course theyıre real and Iıd watch out the next time you tried to grab
them. Theyıre pretty sharp.²

She demonstrated by opening one wing and slashing it against the trunk
of a nearby tree. The two boys both gasped as the gleaming feathers did
indeed prove sharp by carving a deep crescent cut into the hard wood.
Goten turned his attention back to the blond and grinned. 

³That was so cool! Man Trunks, why is it you have a cool sister and Iım
stuck with olı bookworm over there?² 

He frowned and jerked his thumb in the direction of the Œkawaii guyı from
earlier and Usagi couldnıt help but blush. *Forget the Three Lights! This
guy beats em all!* She blushed even brighter at her thoughts and
turned back to Goten.

³Well thanks and all but I donıt even know your name. Or your brothers.²

Trunks rolled his eyes as he glanced at the blushing blond beside him.
*To think that this is my sister! Here she is already trying for Gohan!* He
crossed his arms over his chest and turned away from the sight of the
heart struck Usagi. Goten caught his eye however and winked, eliciting a
snort from his purple haired friend.

³My name is Son Goten and that is my older brother Gohan. Weıre both
half saiyans too. Our Dadıs name is Goku and heıs the strongest fighter
in the world. You should meet him!²

Usagi just blinked then tried, unsuccessfully, to hold in a spurt of giggles.
*He sure can talk fast, Iıll give him that. Gohan eh? Hmmmm.* She
turned her attention from the still chattering Goten back to the full moon.
A chill wind blew up and Usagi couldnıt help but shiver. It felt as though
she was being watched but by who, she could never know.

---------

Damion lounged lazily in his large chair on the bridge of his ship, slowly
twirling the tip of a dagger into the arm of the chair. His crew was
rushing to and fro trying to comply to his orders of obtaining any and all
information they could about the saiyans, this planet called earth, and
possible background checks on any of the planets governments so as to
know if they were up against a formidable opponent. He highly doubted
it but he may as well make sure, just in case.

At the pace the ship was traveling at they would probably arrive at the
desired solar system sometime in the afternoon of the next day. From
there he planned to dock at the satellite orbiting the planet Earth. The
moon the girl had been calling out to. There, he would set up a
temporary base and prepare his next course of action. Namely, locating
and capturing the saiyan treasure.

*What power she had. Itıs hard to think that a female of any species can
control that amount of energy. She is indeed quite a prize and will prove
most useful once I have full use of her power.* Damion smiled slightly as
he held up the blade of the dagger to inspect itıs edge for the 50th time.
*I wonder how it is possible that she hasnıt been located before now? I
know Iım not the only person out there who would appreciate a being
such as her. I wouldnıt be surprised if someone else is already on their
way to Earth.*

He smirked but as he thought about it more and more he realized that he
might actually be correct. Someone else might already be there as he sat
doing nothing! With a deep frown he jumped from his seat and headed
back to his personal chambers to once again check on the tenshi on
Earth. 

After hooking everything up and settling into a comfortable position he
backtracked to the small planet and began searching for the now familiar
mental presence of the albino saiyan. He located her almost instantly but
what he saw didnıt make him happy for the fact. *Who are those
people? If Iım not mistaken then that is a Namek! And those other three,
could they be natives?*

He started again as he saw the blond saiyan turn straight towards where
he was. She seemed almost to see him. With a gasp he threw the mind
amplifier off his head and closed his eyes to try to banish the image. Her
eyes had seemed to bore right into him and what they said was not
comforting either. The were warning him. Warning him not to come.
Warning him that. . . He shuddered and ran a hand through his hair.
Things might just be getting complicated.

I have great news for you all! I have just been named the most lazy
person in the world! =^-^= Now I can stop trying so hard for the award
and finally get back to work eh? Iım not going to write how sorry I am
and how Iıll never do it again because, frankly, I think I might. =~-~= Not
that Iıll do it soon mind you but Iım sure itıll happen so Iım just saying I
wonıt promise that. Iıll just go on to the normal intro type thing now
okay? Enough babble. Now, Iım going to start up right where I left off.
With Usagi in the yard with Trunks, Goten, and Gohan late at night.
Okay? Then here we go! =~-^= Disclaimer: I donıt own them. Donıt sue.
Simple, ne? 

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

~C.C.~

...before... Usagi just blinked then tried, unsuccessfully, to hold in a spurt
of giggles. *He sure can talk fast, Iıll give him that. Gohan eh? Hmmmm.*
She turned her attention from the still chattering Goten back to the full
moon. A chill wind blew up and Usagi couldnıt help but shiver. It felt as
though she was being watched but by who, she could never know.

The feeling passed as soon as it came and Usagi just shrugged it off as
nothing. She focused her attention back on the out of breath Goten and
managed to catch onto the last sentence he had spoken. 

³-Because if you were it would be okay for you to come stay at my house
sometimes, just like Trunks does. Thatıd be cool huh? But if you stayed
like you are now then you would have to go with Gohan or something.
Heıd probably make you study too.²

Goten wrinkled his nose and glanced over at his brother, glaring at him in
advance for something he might or might not do in the future. Usagiıs
sweat drop easily equaled Gohanıs in size but she surpassed him in
confusion since Gohan had paid attention to Goten the entire time. Well,
he tried to at least. *Maybe I shouldnıt have let him have some of that
coffee to help him stay up. I wonder what Mom would say if she saw him
now?*He shuddered slightly but a small grin did manage to reach his
mouth as he thought of his motherıs reaction.

Usagi was trying to make some sense of the brief bit of Gotenıs speech
she had heard. She heard a slight laugh and glanced over at her twin for
help. He just smirked at her. Usagi rolled her eyes and frowned slightly.
*Youıd think my long lost brother would be even a little helpful. Maybe 
heıs really an evil twin brother like in that soap opera thing Mina-Chan
had me watch with her. Yup! I bet thatıs it!* She narrowed her eyes in
suspicion at the purple haired wonder but lost her serious face as he
mirrored her actions perfectly. Goten was watching this all with a look on
his face which made it perfectly clear he was oblivious and quite happy
that way thank you very much. With a grin he turned back to Usagi. 

³So what do ya think? Can you actually do anything about it? Or is it one
of those irreversible type oı things?² 

He blinked a few times quite rapidly as he awaited her answer. Again
Usagi looked to her brother for help and actually found him waiting
patiently for an answer as well. He actually looked interested in her
answer! Gohan was listening as well since he seemed to be a part of this
thing for some reason. *I wonder what itıs all about? I canıt just ask him
to repeat it since I was supposed to be listening instead of shivering at
weird feelings. What would be the best response to a question I know
nothing about? Hmmmm.* Usagi made a big show of thinking over what
was said and they unconsciously leaned forward as she tapped her lips
in thought. Suddenly her eyes flashed and she grinned at them.

³I think all I can say about it right now is that I might be able to but Iıd
have to check with Puu first. If youıll excuse me Iıll go find her right now
and be back before you can say li-²

³She left.²

Usagi almost fell on her way to the house when she heard what was
said. With a whirl of her wings she had turned back to face the speaker,
a stricken look on her face. Gohan stepped back slightly at the bunnyıs
reaction to his statement. With her wings spread like they were and her
hair cut as it was she was quite an imposing figure. It didnıt matter that
she looked more ready to cry than attack him. 

³Nani?! Did you just say . . . s-. . she . . . LEFT?!²

Usagiıs exclamation reverberated in the still night and a dog started
barking somewhere down the road. Gohan just nodded his head quickly
in reply with Trunks and Goten soon joining in. Usagiıs shocked
expression melted away and a grin replaced it, almost shocking the three
more than her previous reaction had. 

³This is great! Finally I wonıt have to listen to someone telling me what to
do or what not to do! Both Luna and Puu gone, I have the best luck!
Now I donıt have to worry Œbout always being the perfect princess or the
perfect decoy teenager. I can just be me!²

Usagi threw a fist up in the air to punctuate her statement and Gohan
grinned crookedly at the girl. Usagi continued jumping for joy then finally
seemed to realize where she was and what time it was. It also helped
that the time was yelled to her by some of the more helpful
neighborhood friends. With a sheepish grin Usagi nervously rubbed the
back of her neck. 

³Well! *giggle* I guess I was a little loud huh? Time for bed too. Well,
Gınight!²

Gohan nodded and waved while Goten tried to prepare a long farewell
speech which was quickly ended as his elder brother grabbed him by the
shoulders and started flying away. Trunks waved as did Usagi then she
turned to go letting out a huge yawn, her eyes squeezing shut. I guess
thatıs why she didnıt see the door jam when she ran into it. Or the
bottom stair when she tripped on it. Or the corner in the hallway as she
tried to find her new room. Or her twin as he tried to guide her back in
the direction of the hastily made up room. Or her twins face as she
mistakingly tried to grab it and twist it thinking it was the door knob. Or
the. . . (Authors voice fades away as the list continues. . . *L*)



+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+



(AN: And I guess Iıll just leave it there! After all,two pages is long enough
right? . . . . You donıt think so? Really? =^-^= okay then. On to the next
day! Enjoy!)


Once again we make our way to the quiet of space. Softly twinkling stars
and the occasional comet. As well as the sight of Damion Articeıs ship
making itıs towards the Earthıs moon at a terrific speed. It was dawn of
the next day for the Z crew but for Damion, or mostly for his crew, it was
just another hour in the endless work day. 

The crew had finally made some progress in their search for information
about the small planet Earth. The Earth had been mostly unknown for
quite a long time but over the past few decades certain people had
taken an interest in the planet and who was to do its ruling or
destroying. Such as an organization known as the Red Ribbon Army,
Œspace aliensı which he guessed may have been saiyans, and Freeza.
Damion knew little of the long deceased emperor. He only knew him
through Œthe businessı. He had heard him to be pretty strong however
and so was curious as to who had actually defeated him. It obviously
wasnıt the government or armies of the Earth. The reports he received
about androids and some ŒCell gamesı left him even more baffled. These
reports said that the savior to the world was a man called Satan. That
didnıt fit, especially after he saw the personal report of the weak human.
So who?

The history of the saiyans had been a little trickier but they had managed
to pull together enough information to keep their leader sated. Most of it
was the usual babble that most people already knew about the saiyans
but Damion had gotten quite excited by a strange document they had
stumbled upon hours later. It had been an old myth about a battle
between chaos and the light of hope. To the half-witted crew it had been
a fantasy story that had made no sense at all but to Damion it was a
major clue to the puzzle of this albino saiyan. Now if only he could put his
few pieces together and try to decipher the whole thing.

*Not likely.* Damion sighed tiredly and ran his hand through his already
rumpled hair. Things just werenıt going his way. Not only had he not
been getting very good information but he had been on edge since his
last mental encounter with the girl. *If only they could give me more of
something to work with. Something. . . something about the girl herself.
Yet they seem incapable of even that! What did she do? Appear out of
thin air? No birth records, medical records, or even someone knowing her
name?! Itıs not possible! Here I am hours away from Earth and I might
actually be two steps back from where I began. Can anything else go
wrong?* 

He clutched his red and silver hair between his fingers in frustration. A
few of the closest members of the crew nervously glanced at each other.
They had known Damion for many years, even before he had started this
whole business with conquering. Before he had just been an unknown
space pirate that their previous captain had hired as a bodyguard.
Damion had only been working for him a month before he killed him. His
temper hadnıt changed at all through the years and they knew that he
could blow up at any second. 

What they didnıt know about Damion was that he had actually known the
captain for years and had been hired to assassinate him because of a
bad deal made decades before with some emperor in another system.
They also didnıt know who he really was, where he came from, or what
species he was. And they would never find out either since not even
Damion knew the answers. 

Damionıs earliest memories were of him being trained to fight and kill. The
teacher had been a strange creature that he could barely remember.
One thing did stick in his memory and that was that his teacher was
female. Sometimes he thought that possibly this woman had actually
been his mother. *Now that would be irony. Being taught by my own
mother and then ending up killing her to escape.* He had made that
escape barely six years ago. After leaving the woman's strange dwelling,
and setting fire to it, he had made his way to nearby civilization and
hired himself out as an assassin. His first jobs were very simple and the
pay not good but as word spread of the young, deadly, hired killer he
decided it was finally time to find a name for himself. You see, he had
never had one and until then hadnıt needed one. The woman he had
grown up with had sometimes called him Œarticeı which could be roughly
translated to Œblade of iceı. He kept the name and soon choose Damion
to go along with it. 

Through the years his career had taken a few occasional branches which
included mercenary and pirate. This is where he had met the previous
owner of this ship and also the man who had hired him to kill the owner.
After receiving his pay and inspecting the ship he had found it to be
loaded with stolen goods and brainless burly crew members that
received and obeyed his orders as readily as they had the captains. He
put this to his advantage and soon began his own business in piracy.
This next led to being a full time hired mercenary working for the likes of
Freeza. Soon Damion tried his hand at capturing his own planet and took
it up as his favorite sport because of its relative ease. 

Now he was Emperor Artice and hiring his own mercenaries to do his dirty
work. *Not too shabby for a man who had only six years in which to
accomplish the feat. Iıve won myself riches, planets, respect and fear and
now Iıll be damned if I donıt win this girl.* He slammed his fist against
the arm of the chair causing a few workers to jump. Filled with new
energy he jumped up from his chair and rushed to the navigators chair.
The beady eyed scaly creature averted itıs gaze and leaned slightly out
of his way as Damion studied the small screen. He smiled slightly at his
findings. They were barely an hour away from his destination. *I guess
Iıd better move on to part two of my plan if I am to accomplish anything.
After setting up base Iıll send down a few of my fighters to survey the
planet and possibly even locate that angel. At least I hope they can
handle that.* 

Damion rolled his eyes as he watched one of the inept crew members
trying to carry a box through the doorway. All it was managing to do was
bump both ends of the long thin box against the doorframe. If it had
thought it out it would know that if it turned to its side he and the box
would both be thin enough to fit. Yet he just continued running into the
doorframe in confused bewilderment. Damion sighed and rubbed his
temples. *Itıs been a long day and I have a feeling itıs only going to get
worse.* With that thought he left the navigator and went to see about
the box laden creature.
