Pluto was terrified, watching the expressions of Kakarot change from surprise, anguish and then pure anger. He had the ability to crush her and she could do nothing to stop him. "Kakarot, please let go."

"You left..." he snarled, his eyes flashing dangerously. "Did you know..."

"I couldn't say anything!" she cried, trying to break free.

"Why? Everyone died and you knew it was coming! I could have helped stop it!"

"No! Serenity had to lose that battle or she wouldn't have become strong enough for the one that's coming now!"

"I looked everywhere for you! Then that woman appeared in the sky and my last thoughts were of you dying the same fate. You were alive the entire time!"

"I wish I had died!" she screamed, hating the surpressed memories. "Damn your mark, Kakarot! A thousand years may have passed for you since that day, but here I'm much older and younger than I appear to be. I can move from the past, present and to the future and I stay depending on how long I'm needed. I can be close to five thousand years old and I've never forgotten that day, never! I'm bound to my responsibility; why the hell couldn't you leave me alone!"

"Because I loved you!" Kakarot shouted back, "I still love you, even if you push me away. You were mine then and you are now! Don't ever forget that!" he snapped, vanishing away from the time guardian. Sinking to her knees, she wept, devastated by Kakarot's grief and sense of betrayal.

'I loved you too...'

Dende and Piccolo were still watching the events on Earth when they both looked behind them in surprise. A woman with a tall man beside her, nodded to the earth guardian and smiled. "Watch over them until they awaken. If anyone is to see them, allow only Kakarot and Endymion."

With a flash of silver and green, the bodies of Serenity and Vegeta floated in front of Dende and Piccolo, their eyes closed in a peaceful sleep, a tail wrapped tightly around the woman's waist. Her hair was a silver carpet found around her and Vegeta's ki signature had changed. "Who are you?" Dende asked in awe.

"I am the past, fullfilling my last mission. The future now lies in their hands; if they should fail then everything will cease to exist. There will be no life or death in this situation; there will be a black void." The two figures vanished and the bodies continued to float as if in a suspended animation.

"What do we do, Piccolo?"

"Find Kakarot and this Endymion person she mentioned."

Mamoru combed his fingers through his hair in frustration. They had been searching for two weeks and no signs had been seen of Vegeta or Usagi. 'I was suppose to protect her!' He nearly jumped through the roof when Kakarot suddenly appeared in front of him, his aura spiking up and down dangerously.

"Let's go," he growled.

Not wanting to anger the man further, he followed him out of his apartment. "Where are we going?"

"To look for Serenity and Vegeta."

"How do you know about her real name?"

Kakarot gave him a long stare before answering, "I was wrong about you. I have only one question, did you keep your promise to Serenity and destroy Beryl?"

"We did, but at a terrible price." Endymion was shamed with guilt and tried to block out the past. "All I've ever caused her was pain."

"No, you were there when she had no one else."

"I don't understand."

"You will."

Kakarot was trying to think of where Serenity and Vegeta could be when Piccolo suddenly dropped in front of them, glancing at Endymion when he jumped back in surprise and fear. "Kakarot, you're needed on Dende's lookout."

"Why?"

"Vegeta and a girl I've never seen just appeared, and we can't wake them. Even if we could, a woman said that only a person named Endymion and yourself are to see them."

"Why just us and not the others?" Mamoru asked, losing his fear of the youma looking creature. "Who and what are you?"

"We'll worry about it later. Grab my shoulder, both of you." Doing as he commanded, they disappeared and reappeared in front of Dende, his expression troubled as he kept a steady watch over the two people.

"Serenity," Mamoru gasped, going towards her when Kakarot grabbed his arm and yanked him back. "What are you doing?"

"If you value your life, approach them cautiously. Vegeta is not aware that you died with her in battle."

"What are you talking about? Serenity never..." He paused, doubting his memories of the alliance. "Did she?"

"Vegeta personally trained her, but he was a different person and Saiya-jin then."

Images drifted through the prince's mind, times and places that he had long forgotten. "I remember," he gasped, all the color draining from his face. "It still hurts as if everything had happened yesterday. Will the same be for them? I don't want her to hurt anymore."

"I don't know. Their bond was extremely powerful, reaching beyond that of what a normal Saiya-jin would have created."

"Who are you? I don't remember you being on Lunaria."

"It doesn't matter where I was at, only that Vegeta is alive. I wonder what happened to Turn and Pars?"

Kneeling down beside Vegeta, Kakarot touched his shoulder, not wanting to startle him awake. Suddenly, Serenity and Vegeta lashed out violently, screaming in unison and striking out at everything.

Bolting awake, Serenity didn't know where she was at or the people around her and started to run. Before she could tumble off the edge, Endymion grabbed and crushed her to the ground. "No! Vegeta!"

"Serenity, stop! It's me, Endymion!"

He continued to call out her name, rocking her back and forth like he did when she was a little girl on the moon. Gradually she started to relax and almost started to fall asleep again. "Endymion... I remember..." She shuddered, clutching his silky tunic tightly between her fingers. "God, I don't want to remember..." she cried.

The past had finally taken its toll, giving her a chance to let out the fear and uncertainty she had hidden from everyone, including herself during her last months on Lunaria. "Why didn't she listen to us?" she sobbed brokenly.

Vegeta's cry cracked the look out, but Kakarot formed a shield around them and gritted his teeth in pain. He had seen the power the man had tapped into before dying, but never dreamed he would be witnessing or feeling it. 'Wow, I bet he could defeat me now.'

"SERENITY!" When Vegeta opened his eyes, they were rimmed with red, murder promised to anyone who stood in his path. "Where is she? Where is Beryl?" he snarled, sparks of electricty licking his skin.

Serenity started to go to him, but Endymion held her back. "Let go!"

"But..."

"He won't hurt me! He can't!" Reluctantly he dropped his hands, watching her pass through Kakarot's shieled as if it didn't exist. "Vegeta," she called to him through their mind link. "I'm right here."

A golden tail wrapped around her, a hand slowly moving through her hair to her sides. "You're alive," he whispered, losing all his anger. "I thought..." Vegeta was confused and crushed the shaken Lunarian to him. "Don't ever leave me again! Promise!"

"Never!"

Kakarot dropped to the ground in exhaustion, feeling as if he'd been fighting for several hours instead of a few minutes. Vegeta carefully studied his surroundings, growling at Endymion to stay away from his mate. "He saved my life, Vegeta. Please don't hate him. He was all I had left on Lunaria when it was finally destroyed."

"You died with her?" Vegeta asked. "Why didn't you tell me there was something coming?"

Serenity clung to him, trying to shut out the last moments. "I was so tired in the end, all I wanted was to put an end to all the needless hatred. Endymion was shattered beyond repair and I was weighed with grief. Everyday I saw my friends die, but I tried to save them anyway. I failed all of them, except Endymion when I threw him out of the way. My last thoughts were of you and how much I loved you."

Vegeta nodded to Kakarot and smiled. "I apologize for leaving you on Pluto, Kakarot."

"So am I," he growled, trying to hide his pain. "Dying with you would have been better than searching for needless emotions."

"You're the reason Pluto is so sad all the time!" Serenity realized.

"What are you talking about?"

"I noticed a mark on the side of her neck and occassionaly she would touch it with a painful expression on her face. Kakarot, I don't know what happened on her home planet, but Pluto did a lot of things for the greater good of everyone. She's ignored her own desires, even the chance at love, for us."

"You marked her?" Vegeta asked.

"I did."

"And she survived your death?" Vegeta mused with wonder.

Kakarot started to realize how much Pluto had suffered and he hadn't died once, but three times. "She should have trusted me."

"We all should have done things differently, Kakarot."

Serenity pulled away from her mate and gave Endymion a reassuring hug. "I can't undo the past my friend, but at least we kept our promise. Will you now marry the one you love?"

He nodded, a soft smile on his face. "Meatball head, can you still fight; like you did during that battle?"

She beamed with pride, "Is that an offer for a sparring match?"

"I'm just curious if you're stronger than Jupiter and Uranus?"

"Why the hell do you think I trained her?" Vegeta growled, "She's stronger than all those girls combined!"

"Speaking of the girls, I think we need to tell them what's going on."

Endymion groaned, "Everything? Your friends are going to kill me."

"Mars and Venus won't. Saturn and Neptune might be able to control Uranus, but just in case, I suggest you stay next to one of the Saiya-jins. Not even Jupiter is crazy enough to challenge them."

"Vegeta?"

"I don't know where they are, Kakarot."

"Who?" Serenity asked.

"His older brother, Turn and cousin Pars."

"Turn had a brother?"

Vegeta nodded. "We'll figure it out once we get everyone together."

Rei was on the border line of exhaustion and panic, the worry deep in her eyes. 'Where are you, princess? Why can't the fire tell me anything?'

"At your door if you'll open it." Startled, the priestess staggered to the screen, slid it open and almost fainted.

"Serenity?" She barely recognized the woman any longer, a soft silver glow radiating around her body and Vegeta's. "Where were you?"

"Can you call the others, Rei? I have a lot to say and don't feel like repeating it more than once if I have too."

Tapping her communicator, "I need everyone to report back to the temple!"

"Have you found something, Rei?" Seiya asked.

"Just get your stupid ass back here, Star Fighter, or I'll send the death senshi after you!"

"That would be fun!"

"No! I'm coming, just don't make her mad at me!"

Serenity giggled, but Vegeta and Kakarot were staring at Rei in confusion. Endymion was embarrassed and had a hand over his face. "Are those two ever going to grow up?"

"I doubt it," Rei growled. After she had recovered, she gave her friend a hug, and smiled at the furry tail around Serenity. "I'm safe to assume that you two are official."

Serenity nodded, smiling when Vegeta pulled her closer to himself. It would be a long time before he felt safe enough to leave her alone. Rei glanced at Endymion, searching for signs of distress or jealousy. "You're ok with this?"

Endymion shrugged, "Why shouldn't I be? Serenity was never mine to begin with and I swear, if people keep trying to set us up, I'm going to personally give them a beating with my sword hilt!"

"Sword? You don't have a..."

Endymion shimmered and standing in front of them was the man Serenity remembered, wearing his black armor trimmed with gold and a sword on the side of his right hip. "If what little I recall of the time I was with Beryl, I was much more powerful in this form."

Rei gulped and decided not to push the issue. She did remember and if it hadn't been for Serenity, he would have killed them. Vegeta's eyes widened and he turned to Kakarot, "Who's watching our brats!"

Kakarot flushed and vanished, re-appearing with two boys and a small girl in his arms, a cake held in each hand. "They were at Gohan's house."

"Good, but from now on they stay where I can keep an eye on them!"

"Dad! I'm ten years-old and don't need..."

"You could be fifty for all I care boy! Until you can pound me into the ground, I am to know the location of your where abouts and actions; do I make my self clear?"

Goten hid behind his father, terrified of the man that was glaring at his best friend. "Dad, is that Vegeta?"

Bra started to cry and Serenity gently took him from his arms, rocking her back and forth until she fell back asleep. Vegeta had an odd look in his eyes, a slow smile creeping on his face. "She likes you."

"I can't say the same for her mother. She may be a baby, but her mental comments are very snide and rude. I wonder where she gets that from?"

Vegeta coughed, but held his head and shoulders with pride. "She doesn't have a mother anymore, unless you're offering?"

The room quickly started to feel with the other senshi, each one looking at the odd scene with a confused expression. "Usagi, where have you been?" Seiya demanded, missing the glare from Vegeta.

"Sit down and I'll tell you." Serenity was thinking when her eyes fell on Yaten. "You never died on Lunaria, did you?"

"I was badly injured, but no."

"Lunaria? You were there when it fell?" Taiki asked.

Yaten nodded, his expression regretfull and sad. "That's why no one saw me for several years; I was still dealing with the guilt and loss."

"Usagi," Makoto asked, "Why is that man's arms around you?"

"Because he's been my mate for over a thousand years."

"What?" the room exclaimed.

"Where is Pluto?" Serenity asked, everyone present but the time guardian.

Uranus and Neptune frowned, but knew the woman had a reason for not appearing. "We'll fill her in, Serenity. Tell us what happened."

"I thought Endymion was your future husband," Seiya growled, glaring at the Earth prince.

"Sit down you idiot!" Uranus shouted, nearly breaking his arm as she yanked him to a sitting position. "Frankly, I'm relieved she's not with him! No other match would have worked except for King Vegeta, so back off!"

"You know?" Serenity asked.

"We received our memories nearly a month ago."

Taiki was thinking, "That's a Saiya-jin name, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"Your mate is a savage," Seiya growled.

"Seiya, why don't you tell us what the real issue is!" Serenity commanded, a pink hue glowing around her. Enymion stepped back, remembering the last time she had been this angry. "If not Vegeta, then you would find fault with someone else!"

"How...?"

"Don't treat me like an idiot, Star Fighter! I am the daughter of Queen Selinity, and despite her faults, she did have one trait that made her very dangerous if she had chosen to be. Like her, I can read your thoughts like the pages of an open book. Only, I'm a lot better at it than her, because my mind isn't closed to war."

"Seiya, leave it alone. Prince Vegeta did do a lot of bad things," Yaten started, "but this is not the same person. If I remember correctly, he had signed an alliance agreement with Queen Selinity before he left."

"I don't remember you," Vegeta stated.

"I arrived shortly after your departure and was told that you had won Serenity's love and respect. Everyone on the planet knew she didn't love Endymion and the other way around, yet Selinity would have forced them to marry if she hadn't found someone else."

"Would someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" Rei demanded. "Why can't we remember any of this, who are the Saiya-jins and why does the tall one look so familiar?"

Jupiter shuddered and smiled at Neptune when she gave her a hug. "I... don't want to... remember."

"I still don't trust them," Seiya said. "Thousands of people and plants were destroyed by his hands. Is the other one of his companions, Nappa or Raditz?"

Kakarot was close to killing him; Seiya had no right to attack the character of his king. His tail was bristiling with rage, but something stopped him and Vegeta when Serneity turned her cold silver eyes on them. "I will handle this!"

Walking up to Seiya, she looked deep into his eyes and soundly punched him into the next room without a second hesitation. Yaten and Taiki deeply cared for their brother, but knew better than to mess with the enraged Lunaria, watching the moon symbol come to life on her forehead. Painfully, Seiya staggered away from the debris, wiping blood from his lip. "Why did you do that?"

"What gives you the right to judge him, Seiya? The last time I recalled, Galaxia was the one who destroyed your home world. Yes, he may have killed a lot of innocent people, but you need to learn a few things first, because not even you have been through the hell he was born into!" Serenity didn't only show Seiya, but everyone in the room about Vegeta's life, including Piccolo and Kakarot who sank to their knees.

Shocked and horrified, they witnessed events that was beyond cruelty and torture. Vegeta was born into slavery and would have died that way if it hadn't been for the friend by his side. The prince was beaten, violated and degraded until all he felt was hatred. His race was weak and inferior, he was nothing but a monkey and had learned that the only way to survive the cruel world was to become that way. If he tried to disobey Frieza's orders, the consequences were inflicted by Frieza and Zarbon personally.

At the age of seven, Vegeta had closed his heart and mind to everyone, including Raditz and Nappa. He was terrified of what would happen if he dared to care about them or anything else. Not until his defeat at the hands of a third-class Saiya-jin, did he start to think that there might be something other than anger to fight for. Love and a sense of justice seemed to boost a Saiya-jins' power, but the real blow didn't come until the deaft by Frieza. He lost all his pride, honor and a reason to live.

The heart of the Saiya-jin prince had been defeated and had accepted the fact that he would never be as powerful as Kakarot, nor would he ever be able to rid himself of the horrors that haunted his every waking moment and dream. When he walked in on Bulma and Yamcha, all his hopes of happiness vanished and he fell into a sea of despair and loneliness so thick, that it was everything for him not to kill himself.

Jerking Seiya to his feet, Serenity growled. He was terrified, barely able to speak, but he made no attempts to free himself from her grasp. 'I thought she was a pacifist.'

"I have never and will never be a pacifist. Thoughts like that destroyed my mother and the entire silver alliance! As for Vegeta, you have no chance in hell of defeating him; however, at the risk of our friendship, you're more than welcome to try. I'm not going to stop you. You might want to know though, that this is King Vegeta, not an enslaved prince."

"The man I knew, had pride and power beyond imagining and never once, did he disgrace himself while on Lunaria. I don't blame him for the events of his second life. If anyone is at fault for what he has become, then Frieza is your enemy. What would Prince Vegeta have been if Frieza had not touched him? Like Galaxia, he was maniuplated. When given the chance to change, by a kind and innocent man, he did. Kakarot is none other than the Goku that saved our world from Cell while we were in the future dealing with the Doom Phantom. He was also, along with Vegeta, battling Majin Buu when we were fighting Chaos."

Serenity directed her attention to Yaten and Taiki, satisfied that they were a bit intimidated by her anger. "Do I need to give you the same lecture or do you have more sense than your brother?"

"No!" Yaten shouted for both of them, waving his hands in front of himself. Normally, he was the one to cause a lot of ruckus, but at the moment he found nothing funny with the situation at all. "If he's changed, then that's good enough for me."

"Besides," Taiki continued, "If what you say is true, then we owe him our thanks. The Ice-jins were on our borders and if it hadn't been for him the entire system would have been destroyed. As for savages, we were no better. We treated the sailor senshi of this planet badly, yet you forgave us without a second thought."

Seiya sighed, feeling like an ass. "I apologize. You're right Usagi, it was more than him being a Saiya-jin that bothered me. Deep down, I'm still attracted to you and had hoped that maybe you would break up with Mamoru and be with me."

Vegeta growled, but Kakarot gently held him back; "Let her handle this. This is kind of funny."

"How so? He's hitting on my mate!"

"That's why I find it so amusing. You trained her well; I never thought I would see a Lunarian defy ancient beliefs and fight her own battles."

"What are you talking about?"

"Pluto once told me that a warrior named Sailor Moon appeared five thousand years before the alliance was created and died. Ever since, the Lunarians have dedicated their lives to peace in her honor."

"Besides, if he hurts her, I'll be more than happy to tear him limb from limb."

"Seiya," Serenity sighed, "I told you in the beginning, there is no future for us. Besides, is it love that you feel or lust?"

He wanted to blurt out that he did love her, but found himself hesitating at the last second, the words on the tip of his tongue. "It's just well... you were the only person that understood who I was."

She gently smiled and released his collar. "Seiya, open your eyes to the real love that you seek. She's been under your nose the entire time. Stop chasing a dream and embrace the true thing."

Seiya walked towards the glaring Saiya-jins and flushed. "I don't know how to take back what I said, but I'll try to make it up to you in the future. All I have to say is, take care of her."

Serenity moved to her mate's side, feeling his arm wrap around her possessively. "I'm surprised, you took that rather well."

"Don't get use to it! I kill the next person that tries to lay a claim on you. I may not deserve you, but you're my Lunarian and I plan on keeping it that way."

Serenity blushed, "I'm sorry I never told you about my dreams."

"I know why you didn't. If I hadn't stopped the Ice-jins then, our race would have been destroyed sooner."

"Serenity," Rei interrupted, "This still doesn't explain why we can't remember any of this."

Vegeta tapped his chin, "Like Serenity and I, we didn't start to remember until we saw each other again. Even now, I think we're missing something important."

"Like what?"

"I don't know, nor am I ready to face it yet."

"Vegeta, if we were sent to the future, where is General Turn and Captain Pars?"

"No..." Jupiter groaned, burying her head deeper in Neptune's arm. Her body was violently shaking, tears soaking into the woman's uniform. "Make them stop! It hurts!"

Serenity quickly went to her friend and knelt beside her. "Mako? Talk to me, please."

"Sere, I was pregnant!"

"Wha..." Her eyes widened in horror and could only clutch onto the sobbing woman. "You were..."

"Pars was my mate, I remember! We were going to surprise Vegeta upon their return, but I never had the chance." Rei shook her head stubbornly, refusing to let the memories come. Kakarot glanced at her, but she growled at him to stay back.

Vegeta didn't know how to tell them, "If they were alive, they died on Vegeta-sai. Only seven of us survived the blast, but only Kakarot and I remain. Our children are half-saiyans, born from the humans of this world."

"That's not exactly true, your majesty." Startled, everyone made room for the soft light. Standing before them was Pluto, "Selinity did wish everyone to this time, including Turn and Pars. You will find them on the Ice-jin's homeworld, a place I can take you."

"The Ice-jins are still alive!" Vegeta snarled in hatred.

"Pluto, are you alright?"

"No, but it no longer matters." Her voice sounded tired and defeated. "This will be my last journey; after this I will vanish forever."

Vegeta heard Kakarot hiss in surprise and knew that the Saiya-jin wouldn't let her go without a fight. "Take us to them," he commanded.

"Wait," Kakarot said. "I think we'll need Piccolo, Gohan, Krillan, 18, Tien, Goten and Trunks as well."

"You mean we get to go," Goten and Trunks shouted happily.

Kakarot took Bra from Serenity's arms and quickly disappeared, returning several minutes later with three confused warriors. "We're ready to go, now."

"Go where?" Gohan asked.

"I thought you would like a second chance at the Ice-jins!" Kakarot laughed.

"Really?"

"I'm in!" Krillan shouted.

"Me too," Tien promised, cracking his fingers.

"King Vegeta, I have a gift, a promise to keep. Endymion, you must release the golden crystal and return it to the rightful owner."

"Let's do it!" Vegeta commanded. Glancing at his mate, not wanting to leave her behind, "Stay out of trouble until I return."

"What are you talking about? If my senshi are going, then their leader is following!"

"But..."

"If I stay, then Pluto isn't allowed to open the doors to that planet!"

"Absolutely not!" Vegeta roared. "You still have a lot of training to go through!"

"Have you forgotten something," she shouted back, "It was I who defeated Beryl! It wasn't the other girls, because they were dead! It was I who defeated the Doom Phantom, Pharoh 90, Galaxia and Chaos. There was no one else! Was it not you who said that I had to fight for what I believed in, for my friends and family?"

"Vegeta said that?" Krillan choked.

Serenity raised a silver crystal into the air and cried out; "MOON ETERNAL MAKE-UP!" A huge flash of light over took the room, lifting her body into the sky with rainbow color surrounding her. Wings, stretching ten feet long and with rainbow tips, grew from her back, a white body suit with a rainbow colored skirt, appeared and when the transformation was complete, everyone was now staring at a completely different person. Any compassion she might have had, was replaced with a battle-hardened warrior that made his body tremble. Her power was enormous, making Piccolo and everyone else wonder how they hadn't felt her before.

"I may not be a Saiya-jin or as powerful as you are King Vegeta, but I'm sure as hell not being left behind!"

"No!" Kakarot growled, stepping between the woman and Vegeta. "If you touch him, I'll kill you."

"Kakarot, you idiot! Get out of our way! She may be more powerful than a minute ago, but she's still Princess Serenity." Vegeta studied his mate. She was beautiful and perfection and he suddenly smiled with pride. "So be it, but if I think you can't hold your own, I'll knock you out and place you somewhere."

"You're Sailor Moon? You can't be the same girl that defeated Beryl."

"That's because I'm Eternal Moon now. There is another form, but that will never happen as long as I draw breath in this body."

"If all the children are done bickering," Pluto snapped tiredly, "we can be on our way now!"

Kakarot came up beside her and whispered, "We need to talk when this over."

"I..."

Resting a finger on her lips, he shook his head. "Don't make up your mind until you've heard what I have to say. We've both said and done a lot of things that we both regret."

She nodded and raised her staff. A huge wind began to form and a door opened to a world that was covered in darkness, barely bathed in a far off light. If the stars hadn't been in the sky, they would have been confined to an eternal blackness.

At Vegeta's request, Eternal Sailor Moon, powered back down. He didn't know if the enemy could sense ki and they needed the element of surprise. Kakarot, Vegeta and the rest of the Z senshi were trembling at the ki they were sensing, doubting if they had brought enough warriors.
