The world was barren and cold, the warriors shivering from the violent blasts of ice. Usagi glanced at her friends. Rei appeared to be ok, but Mako's face was pale and her eyes were clouded with the demons of the past. If she could, she would unwind time and undo everything to stop Beryl.

Coming to the outskirt of a city, Vegeta raised his hand and ordered everyone to lay low to the ground while he quietly barked commands. "I want everyone to split up into groups of two or three. The less people together, the least likely we'll be discovered and captured. I do this for two reasons, the Ice-jins are too powerful an opponent to underestimate and two, the Sailor senshi may or may not be able to read ki levels."

"Gohan, take Ami and Seiya. Goten, you're with Uranus and the white haired kid."

"Yaten!"

Vegeta ignored him and continued; "Trunks, take Neptune while Krillan goes with Minako and the last brother. Tien, I want you with Makoto and Kakarot stay with Pluto. Juuachi, you're with Endymion and Piccolo can take Rei and Hotaru. As for you," he growled and grabbed the last senshi, "Serenity, you're coming with me!"

"Why do you keep calling her that? Her name is Usagi."

"One, I call her what ever I choose too and second, that's the name given to her on Lunaria!" They cautiously entered the city and branched off in several directions, giving no indications to where they were going or how it would end.

Gohan, Ami, and Seiya were quickly running down a deserted ally, their noses clenched tightly with their fingers. Garbage and sludge littered the streets and sidewalks, coating the young warriors in a slime. "Can you two fight?" Gohan asked doubtfully.

The two women smirked. "We won't know until we try." Gohan groaned, wondering if he had to protect them or fight. Seiya observed the tall man closer, "Are you a saiya-jin? Who's your father?"

"Goku, or Kakarot to you. When he first landed on Earth, he hit his head and erased his primary mission."

"What was his primary mission?"

"To destroy all life and prepare the planet for sale."

Seiya gulped. "I'm glad he forgot then."

"I think he remembers now. A few years ago, after the death of my mother, he started to act in ways that was clearly Saiya-jin, not human."

"Why didn't we meet before now? If what Vegeta says is true, about being able to sense power levels, then why didn't you appear or come after us?"

"For the same reason you couldn't join us. After we would return, we would hear of other events taking place that had been handled by unknown sources."

Ami thought about his answer; "It makes sense. Doesn't it seem strange that we're always fighting something at the exact same time, but never in the same location until now?"

Their conversation ended at the end of the ally, a door standing in front of them. "What now? Do we go in, or wait for someone to come out first?"

"Right now we have the advantage. Look, if you two stay here, I'll understand but..."

"We were aware of the risks when we agreed to help," Ami told him, pulling out her computer. In the distance, the sound of clanking chains and the cracking of a whip brought them to a chamber that made them freeze in horror. Several hundred feet below, were Ice-jins directing an assembly line and beating the slaves savagely with iron tipped whips.

"This is barbaric!" Ami hissed in rage, tears spilling down her cheeks. "Can't we stop this?"

Gohan saw no signs of the Saiya-jins, but he agreed with Ami. 'Piccolo, I know what you would say, but I can't let this happen anymore!' Turning to the two women, "Get out of here."

Ami and Seiya glared at him, "Sailor Senshi never abandon a commrade, even if we are badly out numbered. MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!" Blue light surrounded the small woman, replacing her with the senshi of wisdom and ice.

“FIGHTER STAR POWER MAKE-UP!” Gohan blinked in shock, staring at the woman who use to be a male Seiya.

"Damn!" He was tempted to reach out and find out if her feminie attributes were real, but kept his his hands firmly at his sides. "Can you perform the same functions of both sexes?"

Star Fighter growled, blushing a deep crismon. It didn't help that Mercury was holding a chuckle behind her white glove. "Now that he brought it up, can you have and make babies?"

"Do you both mind? How the hell am I suppose to know? I'm still a virgin!" Her face went a darker shade of red, her eyes going wide in shock when they realized that the last statment was loud enough to alert the Ice-jins below to their presence. About to be discovered, the three warriors wasted no time in attacking.

“MERCURY ICE STORM!” A white, thick, cold fog covered everything, making it impossible for Gohan to use his eyes to find the enemy. Sensing everyone's energy level, he started taking out his enemies and refused to go Super Saiya-jin until he had no other choice.

“STARSERIOUS LASER!” Several lasers shot out and shot two Ice-jins in the head, killing them instantly. If there were any doubts about whether these two women could fight, Gohan quickly forgot about them. StarFighter also learned that his prejudice against the Saiya-jins was stupid. She watched Gohan fight and try to keep the innocent from getting hurt at the same time, a new respect being born.

“MASAKO Beam Cannon Fire!"

Goten, Haruka and Yaten didn't stay on their path long when they found themselves hiding behind a bunch of boxes, watching soldiers coming in and out of a large building. Haruka was grumbling about Goten fighting with them and looked down at him; "Kid, does Vegeta know what he's doing by allowing you to be here?"

"Why, I'm not afraid."

Yaten growled and slapped a hand over his face. "We're pathetic if we're depending on babies to fight for us."

"I'm not a baby!" Goten shouted. Covering his mouth, he peeked over the crates, seeing all eyes turned in their direction. "Oops."

"Transform!" Haruka ordered. "URANUS PLANET POWER!"

“HEALER STAR POWER MAKE-UP!” A yellow circle of light formed around Uranus, with her clothes disappearing and a short blue skirt with a white body suit appearing on her. A tiara formed on her forehead and there stood the soldier of the winds and speed. Star Healer stood with a black leather suit on that barely covered anything and they both saw Goten turn around covering his eyes and blushing like a tomato. “What's the matter kid?” Healer asked.

"Did you know you're naked when you do that? And wow, Yaten! I can't believe it!" He looked her up and down going further shades of red. "I don't know how you did it, but that trick you have to show me some day. Changing your male parts for female ones has got to be the ultimate technique.”

“What? I'll show you technique!" Uranus grabbed and held her back.

"I can't believe I'm the one saying this, but he's not the one you're suppose to be fighting; they are!" Star Healer glanced over her shoulder, the Ice-jins right on top of them.

"Hi!" Goten greeted. "I bet you're wondering what the three of us are doing in a place like this, right?"

"Bring them to the arena!"

“SPACE TURBULENCE!” Uranus made the air around her toss and shake, the ground shudder, and a huge blast hit several of her opponents.

“STAR SENSITIVE INFERNO!” A blast of stars shot from Star Healers hands and swarmed around several Ice-jins, burning them to ashes.

“Cool!” Goten yelled. The idea that women could fight excited him and knew what he was going to write about in school when he went back. “KAMEHAMEHA!” Things were going great until a net was thrown over them, draining all of their energy and rendering them helpless. “Damn!” Goten said. “Trunks is going to pick on me for weeks now!"

Trunks was with Michuru exploring some offices and listened to her talk. She was kind of cute and he wondered if she had a boyfriend. “Are you really a fighter?” Trunks asked. “Does your boyfriend mind that you fight the enemy and that he stays behind?”

Michuru ruffled Trunks hair and smiled. “Kid, one I don't have a boyfriend, I have a girlfriend. Two she doesn't mind me fighting, because she's a fighter herself. Haruka is Sailor Uranus and we've know each other longer than I can remember.”

She laughed when his eyes widened at the idea of two girls being together. “Isn't that hard to have children if both of you are women? Why do you hate men?”

“I never said I hated men, it's just that sometimes some women feel that other women can be more sensitive to our needs.”

“So you can still have a boyfriend, but you haven't found the right person yet. Can I be your boyfriend?”

“Why don't you ask me when you turn eighteen.”

Trunks sighed. He knew his age may prove to be a problem in getting a date. It was his hair or his fighting, but he'll have to figure that out later. The minute he touched a back door to the office they were in, an alarm sounded and manicales shot out from everywhere, never giving Michuru a chance to power up or Trunks time to become a Super Saiya-jin. Two needles shot into their necks and they swam into unconsciousness, unware of what was about to happen them. “Take them to the Arena."

“Yes my lord.”

Krillan was about to suggest going back to Minako and Taiki when they entered the mess hall with Ice-jins everywhere. “Oh my god. It's a bunch of Friezas!” Many heads popped up at the name of Frieza and more to stand when they found intruders or slaves wandering free.

“VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!”

“MAKER STAR POWER MAKE UP!”

Krillan had thought he had seen a lot of strange transformations, but this one took them all. A man becoming a woman is something one did not see everyday. “Are you a man that becomes a woman, or woman that becomes a man?”

“You're impossible! We sort of have a problem on our hands and it's not about my identity problems!”

Wasting no time, Krillan raised both hands into the air and formed two discs of light and aimed them. “DESTRUCTO DISC!”

Discs, Meteors and Stars were everywhere in the room, with nothing being certain except that they knew they killed several of the enemy. Suddenly, large amounts of electricity shot threw their bodies, sending them into a cry of pain. Slowly, they sank to their knees and were unable to stop the collars being placed around their wrists and necks. "We'll deal with them in the Arena."

Juuachi with Tuxedo Kamen had made it to the Officers' Hall and joined up with Piccolo, Sailor Mars and Saturn. By now, the whole compound was alerted to the presence of several intruders on the planet and they could barely move an inch anywhere. Hotaru and Rei had decided that keeping their identities concealed was not as important as having their powers. It didn't matter much when they tripped a wire and several darts flew from all directions and embedded in different parts of their bodies, drugging them. Piccolo tried to fight the effects, but his vision blurred as he fell last on top of the sailor warriors and Juuachi.

The crowd was cheering and eight of the sixteen warriors captured were tied to poles in the middle of a giant arena. Sailor Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Michuru and Juuachi had their hands separated above their heads and chained so tight that the circulation was being cut. The same was done to their ankles and all of them were still unconscious. Slowly, one by one the sailor senshi began to open their eyes and paled when they realized they couldn't get lose nor call on their powers of their planets. The ki collars had no effect on them, but it still didn't help that the iron around their wrists and ankles were made out of some metal that they had never seen before in their life. Even Jupiter and Uranus couldn't find the strength to break lose from them.

“Where are we?”

Two of the lizard looking freaks turned and sneered at Jupiter. “You're the bait. If your friends can't save you, well you'll just be torn to pieces and eaten for lunch.

“Let us go dammit!” Uranus shouted.

“Not a chance. Normally we only have the two Saiya-jins fighting, but this time we found some rare beasts and think we may have finally found something even they can't beat. We feel that they're so outmatched that we're going to allow the other males to join them without their powers.”

Jupiter growled in anger. She couldn't help but wonder about who the two Saiya-jins were. “How can you do this? Don't you care that you're hurting innocent people?”

“What do I care? Monkeys can't feel anything and they're about as ignorant and weak as the eight of you are.”

"Did someone catch the name of the bus that hit me?” Krillan groaned waking up. The first thing he noticed was that his ki was very low and that he couldn't bring up enough strength to take off some bands and collars that were glowing around his wrist and neck.

“You might as well forget about trying to get those off. We've been trying for over fifty years and they don't even have a dent.”

Krillan looked over to his right and saw two men sitting side-by-side looking at him and his other six companions, Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, Trunks, Tien and Tuxedo Kamen.

“Where are we?” Piccolo demanded.

“You are on the home world of the Ice-jins.”

Endmyion was thinking. “I was under the impression that world was destroyed a thousand years ago?”

“It was, but some of the Ice-jins survived and have resided at the farthest point of the galaxy where there is no light other than the stars. Sometimes the moon shines here and it is forever cold. It's hard to gather enough energy to stay warm during the nights and then have to use what we have to fight for our survival every day.”

“Who are you?”

“We're two Saiya-jins given away to monsters by our king. He betrayed us, so all we care about is making it out alive every day, irritating the Ice-jins as much as possible and proving that we weren't dispensable.”

“I don't think it would matter, one way or the other,” Gohan stated. “The planet of Vegeta was destroyed over forty-five years ago. Until discovering you two, there were only seven Saiya-jins to survive its destruction.”

The bigger of the two Saiya-jins looked at Gohan closer, trying to figure something out. “You talk as if you are one and know a lot about them?”

“I am only half-saiyan. My father and Vegeta were the last two full blooded Saiya-jins alive.”

“Vegeta. Which one?”

“Prince Vegeta. He was handed over to Frieza when he was five by his own father. It seems as if the last King of Vegeta-sai betrayed more than one person. I don't know, but any king that would give over his own people, especially his son, is no king I would want to follow. I am glad to have know Prince Vegeta. He has shown great strength and pride in being able to get past all the pain caused to him under Frieza.”

“Prince Vegeta is still alive? I remember seeing him once. He said by hanging out with us, he would get in trouble because we were beneath what his father called adequate power.”

“Don't believe him!” Tuxedo Kamen said. “You two were not weak by any standards and if that was the spoon full of crap fed to you then it was a lie.”

“He's right!” Goten shouted standing up. “My father was said to be a third class soldier, but he became the strongest man in the universe.”

The other Saiya-jin next to the larger man walked up to Goten and looked at him in the eyes. “You're Saiya-jin as well. In fact, I think it's kind of coincidental that you look so much like Turn.”

“Enough chit-chat. Where are we and what do the Ice-jins plan on doing with us?” Piccolo snapped. He tried getting the collars off of him, but was having no luck at all. He hated feeling weak and was very irritated.

“In the dungeouns below the Arena. We go out and fight everyday against opponents that are suppose to be the strongest in the universe.”

“If they're so strong then how are you able to beat them?”

“One they're stupid and just because we can't use energy attacks, doesn't mean we stop training. We are warriors and that means we fight with other means if another does not work. We have to outsmart our enemy.”

“Pars, I don't think we'll come out so lucky this time. From the rumors I have heard, we are up against several opponents instead of the usual two or three.”

“Oh well. Can't defy destiny forever. The Ice-jins said we couldn't live this long, let's prove them wrong by staying alive a little longer.”

Several guards came in and led the nine warriors outside to see their friends tied to the poles. Tuxedo Kamen hissed in anger when he saw the senshi and his love in trouble. However, when he tried to get to her, he was hit in the back by a tail. “You'll be with her soon enough. Now keep moving.”

The crowd was going wild, knowing something exciting was about to happen. “Can any of you fly?” Gohan asked.

“We can, but it would cost us a lot of energy to do so, and that can be fatal at the moment. Let's do that if we only absolutely have no choice or if we manage to find a way to get these restraints off. Also, don't count out the rescue team,” Piccolo commented.

“Who or what are you talking about?” Turn asked.

Tien smiled. “Vegeta and Kakarot, I see, are not among us and I can feel them watching us. I bet they are not going to show themselves until the last moment.”

“Sailor Moon and Pluto are not on the poles either,” Tuxedo Kamen commented.

Turn looked at one with a red skirt and long raven hair and felt like he should know who she is. “Mars?”

“You feel it too?” Pars asked. “I had the feeling that the green skirted one, was Jupiter.”

“She's not pregnant,” Tuxedo Kamen said. “Not in this time line anyway.”

“What happened?”

“Beryl.”

The word rang in their ears and they felt like they were on the verge of remembering something important. Then they looked at Tuxedo Kamen looking for answers. “Who are you?”

“Prince Endymion of Earth. This is not my most powerful form, but one to throw off the enemy. My powers are based off of planetary power instead of energy like the Saiya-jins. I will use it when it comes time to, but right now the situation requires me to observe instead of getting carried away.”

“Serenity,” Turn whispered.

“Was the Princess of the moon, daughter of Queen Selinity. Come on Turn, Pars you have to remember who you are. In the past you were much more powerful because of the leader you had. He is the very man who is about to rescue us, Prince Vegeta formly King Vegeta a thousand years ago. Remember your mates killed at the hands of Beryl.”

The light was dawning in their eyes and it was becoming clear that they were remembering the past and a ferel snarl was forming on their faces. “I think we need to kick some ass!” Pars snarled. “We only took orders from our Vegeta and he would never have sold us into this hell.” His ebony eyes flickered to green startling Piccolo and Gohan. The ki collars were suppose to be hendring their powers, but it was as if Turn and Pars, being confined by them all their lives, had become even stronger. What would happen if they had the collars taken off?

Pluto was on the other side of Kakarot and swearing under her breath. “What are we going to do? We can't leave them like that?” Pluto knew of one way she could stop this, but it would cost her her life in order to do it.

“Wait. We can still save them, but in order to do that we can't afford to do the mistakes that Gohan made from the beginning. Gohan is a powerful fighter, but the one thing that has always caused him to get into trouble is his emotions and being soft.”

Pluto wanted to trust Kakarot, but could she afford to? What if he was wrong and they died in the arena? Feeling her distress, Kakarot's tail wrapped around her arm and he smiled at her. “If I'm wrong I'll make it up to you, I promise. I can have them wished back to life, but we cannot afford to make a mistake and get captured ourselves. That won't do them or us any good. What ever you have planned, it can't be good by the look in your eyes, and will it really solve the situation? We're out numbered by the Ice-jins, and if something happens to you that makes it even less numbers to play with.”

“I guess we can assume that Vegeta and Usgai haven't been found yet.”

“He's close by. If I'm correct, he's on the other side of the Arena observing as well. My guess is he knows what's going on and he's waiting for the right moment to strike.”

“I hope I don't regret this, but I'm going to trust you Kakarot.”

Kakarot looked into her eyes and his softened for a second and then hardened to focus on the task at hand. “I have never let my friends down.”

“Vegeta, what are they planning to do with them? They're helpless and right now I can't feel them very well.”

“You can sense ki?”

“Yes. I don't know how or where I learned, but I can feel all of you.”

“I don't know what we'll do yet, but stay calm and we'll make our decision in a minute. Kakarot is nearby with Pluto so we can assume he's going to be ready to move out when we do. I think you need to transform now.”

“ETERNAL MOON MAKE-UP!” Once again, Eternal Sailor Moon was beside Vegeta and had a look of determination on her face instead of the innocent and forgiving one. It was as if a different personality took place when she changed, or was this a hardened warrior to battle? “I swear, if they hurt mine or your friends they will pay!”

“Are you related to Kakarot or something? You sound so much like him when I first met him, that it's un-canning.”

“I'm not related to him Vegeta. We just value life and innocent people. Power doesn't mean a thing if you have no real reason to use it. If you use it to fight evil and to protect people, there will always be a need for you, but if used for nothing but control, fear, death and destruction, someone like myself or Kakarot appears to defeat you. It's a never ending cycle with light against darkness. After each battle the scenario changes to another setting to once again do battle. In this case it is between us and the Ice-jins.”

Vegeta had never looked at the balance of the universe in that perspective before and knew it made sense. He was at one time the darkness while Kakarot was the light. All his companions were once the same way as himself and he finally knew that without them, Kakarot and Eternal Sailor Moon would not be as powerful as they are.

A drum started beating and the crowd went wild as the referee came out and began talking. “We have intruders on our planet and instead of making slaves out of them, we will go ahead and use them for fighting. They are to much of a threat to let run around in the slave pens.” The nine men in the ring were surrounded by Ice-jins and unable to move from their positions. “From the darkest corners of the universe, we have found an opponent that will actually be a challenge for the two Saiya-jins. So much that we only thought it fair that we give them help with the six males we have captured. And, to make things more interesting, their companions tied to the poles will be targets, but unable to help. Can they save them, before they are torn to pieces?” A roar of approval raced through the crowd and they were demanding that the fight begin and soon.

Vegeta and Kakarot both noticed the ki restraints on the Z warriors and growled in anger. “We will move out when they reveal what they are fighting.” Sailor Moon nodded to him and waited tensely. “Can you handle this?”

She turned to glare at him and he could only smile back. “If I had the time and the proper place I would be more than happy to show you what I'm made of.”

The ground shaking and them bouncing, brought them back to the task at hand and they were shocked at what they were seeing. About twelve cages had been brought in and held six gargoyles and six griffons. The griffons had wings and head of an eagle, and a body of a lion. Standing about ten feet tall and fifteen feet long, they were huge and growled at the fighters in front of them. The Gargoyles were of different sizes, forms and powers. Some had horns and others had claws, but one thing that all these monsters had in common was that they were not weak by any standards.

The monsters were released from their cages and launched after the warriors and senshi ready to destroy them. The situation looked bad as the Z warriors and Sailor Senshi faced death in the face and couldn't do a damn thing about it.

“PLUTO DEADLY SCREAM!”

Four blasts came out of no where and hit three gryphons and two gargoyles damaging them severely. Vegeta quickly freed his son, Turn and Pars, while Kakarot freed Gohan and Goten. “Quickly free the others and get to fighting. Once we beat these monsters the Ice-jins are bound to attack us and we need all our powers combined,” Kakarot shouted. Pluto was about to free Uranus when she saw a shadow over her and screamed in terror as she realized she was about to be hit.

“Pluto!” Sailor Moon cried. With a huge shove, she knocked Pluto out of the way, right as the two gryphons came up and sliced down with their beaks and claws. Pain was all she could feel as she fell to the ground, blood splashing on Pluto's face and arms.

“Sailor Moon!”Tuxedo Kamen and the senshi shouted.

“I'll be al right.” Grunting, Sailor Moon stood back up, despite the blurring vision and began freeing the rest of her friends.

Vegeta had heard everyone call out Sailor Moon's name and hissed in rage as he saw how badly hurt she was. With lightning reflexes he shattered the gargoyles like they were glass and grabbed the two gryphons by the tails making them roar with rage and hatred. Vegeta, wasting no time, began to spin in a circle faster and faster and faster until he was going so fast that a tornado began to form. Right when he felt he could go no faster without transforming, he released the two gryphons into the crowd of Ice-jins and laughed when they began to kill and shred them to pieces. She seemed to be okay, but why did he feel like something bad was about to happen?

“MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY!”

“KAMEHAMEHA!” Gohan, Kakarot and Goten yelled in unison.

“FINAL BLAST!” Trunks and Vegeta yelled.

Pars, Turn and Juuachi each fired a blast of their own, not giving a name to their attacks.

The power coming from the 23 warriors was destructive as it laid flat everything around them within a two hundred mile radius. To combine the damage, Sailor Moon lifted her wand into the air as the few remaining Ice-jins tried to fight the power of the fighters.

“STARLIGHT HONEYMOON THERAPY KISS!”

As the power faded and everyone looked around for any more of the enemy, they sighed with relief and laughed a little as they saw that not one Ice-jin remained. The innocent people that had been left in the minds came running out and shouting for joy at their saviors, but none of them were listening as Sailor Moon sank to the ground holding her chest and losing her transformation.

“Serenity?” Vegeta asked picking her up gently.

Her vision was blurring as she tried to stay focused on her loved one. “Did I do al right?” She fainted and he could feel her body burning with a fever.

“What the hell is wrong with her?”

Mercury ran a scan on her friends body and gasped. “She has a lot of poison running through her body from the blow she took by the Gryphons. By fighting and using her powers as Sailor Moon, she progressed the poison faster than it should have and doesn't have long to live. I'm sorry Vegeta, but I don't know what to do for her.”

Vegeta sank to his knees in shock and anguish. He could feel her pulse weaking and her breath coming heavier and he didn't know what to do. “No... Not again... Serenity....” Sobs began to course through his body as he lowered his head and hugged Serenity to him. “PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!!! I LOVE YOU! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Now I can't still you from Vegeta,” Star Fighter said.

“Who am I going to pick on for bad handwriting?” Star Healer cried.

“No more pep talks,” Star Maker bowed his head.

“I can't give you no more words of wisdom.”

“Who am I going to talk to about boyfriends?”

“I don't have anyone to argue with anymore?”

“No one to protect.”

“You saved my life,” Saturn whispered.

“You gave me a reason other than to hate everyone,” Uranus stated.

“You loved my playing and art, even though you couldn't play.”

“You freeded me from the constant watch of the time gates.”

Tien, Krillan, Juuachi, Piccolo, Gohan, Goten and Trunks had nothing to say but to respect the moon princess for the sacrifice she made for her friend.

“I'm sorry Usagi for not keeping my word about keeping everyone alive,” Kakarot said.

Turn and Pars bowed their heads sadly at the moon princess. “We remember and thank you for setting us free again.”

“USAGI!!! SERENITY!!!!!! DON'T DIE!!! WE ALL LOVE AND NEED YOU!!!!”
