This is Ch. 2 in a fanfic I'm writing that could almost be called Sailor
Scouts in Space, considering what will happen for most of the rest of this
story.
Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z are not mine. They belong to someone else, so
please don't sue, plus the idea for the VentureStar isn't mine also, credit
for that goes to the US government when they started the X-33 project, but a
few ideas of my own are put into this VentureStar.
Enjoy!!
Sailor Moon DBZ: Ch. 2 - Voyage of the VentureStar
Everyone woke up extra early the next morning. During Breakfast,
the Sailor Scouts, who powered down to introduce their real names after they
decided they could trust Goku and his team, met most of the rest of the
Dragon Ball Team, mostly people who were not officially with them. First
there was Bulma's dad. His is about a foot smaller then Goku. He has white
hair, and mustache. I also wares glasses and is the owner of the Capsule
Corp. Then there is Master Roshi. He's an old man with a white beard and
is bald, and always wears glasses. Then there was Oolong, and Puer. They
are both shape changing people, well if you call a talking pig, and a
talking floating cat a person. Tien was the kind of guy who loved to
brighten thing up with his Solar Flare attack. He was bald and had three
eyes, and wore only work out pants. His partner, Chiaotzu, was as small as
Krillin, and Gohan, and floated around most of the time. Finally, there was
Piccolo, a Namek. He is the only known alien on Earth, and was born on
Earth by............unusual means. He rarely joins the team on any mission,
unless the team can't handle it alone. The Scouts took him to have his
timing similar to Tuxedo Mask, right at the last second type of guy.
Amy asked, "What about this Sera person you talked about last night?
Where is she at?" All the other Scouts, and the two cats, wanted to know.
Goku answered, "She's having the VentureStar transported to Tokyo
Int'l where we'll lift off at. Her full name is Sera Gardener, and she's a
very nice young lady, and a good fighter. Once she was strong enough, I
taught her all of my fighting powers and skill, and how to use them. In
fact, she's almost stronger then me." The Scouts were in awe, before the
phone rang.
Bulma's dad wen to answer it, "Hello!!................Oh, hi there
Sera............Yes ..............Yes, I'll tell them........O.K........
bye," He hung up the phone, "Goku, That was Sera. The VentureStar is at
the airport and is being fueled up for take off. She says you should
probably head over there now."
Goku stood up, "This is a volunteer only mission. If you want to
go, please stand." Everybody in the room, except for Bulma's dad, stood up,
"All Right, we all go, so lets GO!" Everybody packed all they would need
and went to the airport.
When the Scouts and the Dragon Ball gang got to the airport, the
sight they saw put everyone, except Bulma, into shock, "Everyone, this is
the VentureStar."
The ship was 'huge.' It was at least 14 ft. tall, not counting the
height of the vertical tails on it. It was in the shape of a triangle, for
length and width. The Fuselage was at least 8 ft. tall, without the landing
gears down, witch they are, and it was white on the top and black on the
bottom half of the space ship.
They continued to stare at it until the loading ramp lowered. After
it was down someone stepped out of it. She was about Amy and Mina's hight,
she was wearing the same uniform that Goku was wearing, had sky blue eyes,
and Blond hair done up in a single pony tail going down her back till her
waist, "What took you all so long? The ship is all gassed up and ready to
go, and you had to take your time, didn't you? I was starting to get bored."
Goku chuckled a little before he said, "Sailor Scouts, this is Sera
Gardener, our best pilot in the gang, next to Bulma, who will be
co-piloting the ship with her."
Each of the Scouts, who were in Scout form since just before they
left Bulma's Dad's place, walked up and shook Sera's hand to greet her. As
each Scout did, they thought she looked familiar some how, and, later, so
did the cats, but brushed it off as nothing.
Sera spoke up, "If everybody is ready, just climb aboard and we'll
be taking off soon." Every one got on board. After everybody was aboard,
Sera raised the loading Ramp and told everyone to sit down and buckle up for
take off, before she went to the cockpit. Once in the Cockpit, Sera
switched a few switches, and the ship began to tilt onto its engines for a
vertical take off. Once the ship was in place, she stored the landing gears
and contacted the tower, "Tower this is VentureStar, requesting permission
for a vertical take off."
The tower responded, "Roger, VentureStar, you are clear for a
vertical take off. Good luck."
Sera reach for the intercom, "Attention all passengers. We are go
for lift off. Beginning count down from 10 seconds."
Everyone in the passenger area braised themselves for take off, not
having much experience with shuttle take offs, before Sera began the count
down, "10..........9.............8 ...........7.............6............
5..............4............3, " the engines began to fire, "2..............
1 ...........0...........Lift off," Sera pushed the accelerator throttle to
full power, while Bulma did her best to hold the ship steady. The
VenturStar lifted off the ground and left a trail of smoke behind it as it
raced off into space at speeds beyond the speed of sound.
After the VentureStar reach Earth orbit, Sera asked for Sailor
Mercury to begin scanning for the Saiyan spaceship, Bulma did the same with
the shuttle's Radar and scanning systems. Bulma and Sailor Mercury
announced at the same time, "Found it," Bulma continued, "Straight ahead,
just past Lunar orbit. I'm arming the laser guns, just in case." Two
panels, just behind the nose, opened up and to guns poked out to point
straight ahead.
On the Saiyan spaceship, the alarms started to go off all over the
bridge. The Saiyan captain was mad, "What's going on?"
One of the Science officers spoke up, "We have an unidentified ship
approaching from Earth. Intercept is in 2 hrs."
The Saiyan Captain turned to the gray uniformed man, "I knew I
shouldn't have trusted you with this plan, Jedite. But nnnnnnoooooo, you
had to put the prisoners on this ship."
Jedite just smirked, "I don't think you need to worry about that
ship. Today's, human ships can only travel through space. They have no
armaments of any kind."
The Saiyan captain rose from his captains chair, "Arm all weapons.
Prepare to fire when they're in range."
On the VentureStar, things were getting tense. After 2 hrs. of
traveling through space, they knew they would be attack by any guns mounted
on the Saiyan ship. Bulma and Sera were waiting, with their hands on the
controls of both the navigation controls, and the weapons controls.
Finally, just as they began their approach from behind the Saiyan ship, it
open fired on the VentureStar. Sera piloted the ship while Bulma targeted
the Saiyan ship's engines. Sera managed to dodge all the attacks and was
doing good, with several close calls. Bulma managed to take out most of the
engines, and the computer reported it no longer had enough engine thrust to
leave orbit. Sera took the VentureStar so close to the ship's hull, it was
only a few feet off of it. Bulma began scanning for a way into the Saiyan
ship, "I found a hanger door straight ahead." Sure enough there was a door
faceing the VentureStar but it was shut.
"Have any idea, as to how we get in," Sera asked.
Bulma shook her head, almost in a panic, "No, I can't get into their
computer system to open the door. Sailor Mercury, see what you can do about
it."
"I'm already on it. I just need a few more seconds, and..........
there." the doors in front to the VentureStar began to open.
Sera wasted no time, she lowered the landing gears and told everyone
to bras for impact. As soon as the gears touch the Saiyan ship's hull, she
put on the brakes and skidded the VentureStar into the hanger bay. The ship
came to a stop, with several feet left to spare.
On the Saiyan bridge, intruder alert warnings were going off before
one of the security personal reported, "The unidentified ship has landed in
hanger bay 15. Shields are gone, engines are 90% damaged, and we lost some
of the aft weapons."
The Saiyan captain stood up again, "I want all personal to begin a
search for the intruders, and Jedite, I want you out there too." Jedite
bowed and teleported out of the bridge.
On the prison level, the Tsukinos heard the intruder alert sirens,
but didn't know what they were until someone over the intercom announced,
"We have intruders in hanger 15. All personal begin a search pattern. The
intruders are possibly the Sailor Scouts and the Dragon Ball team."
This made all the Tsukinos smile before Sammy spoke up, "See, I told
ya the Sailor Scouts would get us out."
