Thirteen Sailor Senshi, elven saiyans and Z warriors, were gathered around the sendai hill temple, prepared to discuss their stories; where they came from and the battles they fought.
Serenity sat next to Vegeta, refusing to leave his side and feeling very tired. "I think we need to go first Geta, so that your commardes will understand better about the past of the Sailor Senshi, Turn, Pars, you and I during the silver alliance."
"A thousand years ago, the moon, inner and outer planets, had formed an alliance known as the silver Millineum," Serenity started. "Everything existed in harmony and peace, held together by the power of my mother, Queen Selinity. When I was seventeen, King Vegeta, also known as Prince Vegeta now, came to the moon kngdom to seek an alliance with us. He didn't say this and was followed by his two fighting companions, Turn and Pars."
"Vegeta trained me for two months, while Mars and Jupiter bonded with Turn and Pars. Mentally and physically, we grew stronger together. Even though Vegeta and I had not finished the ceremony royalty were suppose to go through, we were planning to be together after he finished his mission. He was fighting the Ice-jins, while we were battling an enemy that had taken root on Earth, Beryl."
"She caused a lot of pain and destruction where ever she went. The last two standing, were Endymion and I as we clutched each other, crying at the loved ones we lost. After all the senshi and Endymion died, we were wished to this time twenty-six years ago, hopefully to lead more peaceful lives."
"Wow," Goten said. "What happened to Vegeta and the other two Saiya-jins? He wasn't with ya'll, so he couldn't have died by Beryl."
"Very observant, brat. When Serenity and her friends died on the moon, the three of us felt them where we were at. The last thing I remember Serenity saying to me is that she loved me and that she was sorry. The pain was unbearable as the rage inside me grew to extreme levels. I called forth a power that had been laying dormant inside of me and transformed to a stage beyond what Kakarot and I have achieved thus far now."
"Can we see?" Trunks asked his father.
"No. That kind of power would destroy this planet with ease. I was a level four Oozuru, beyond caring if we lived or died any longer. The anguish was with Pars and Turns as well. What I didn't know is that we were reborn into this time, to meet again with our chosen ones over a thousand years ago."
"Vegeta," Krillan asked, "What happened to Bulma? I thought you two were a couple?"
A dark scowl came on Vegeta's face along with Kakarot who formed a defensive stance around his friend. "You don't have to answer that if you don't want to, Vegeta."
"No, they need to know so they don't make up their own ideas. I rather it come from the source than senseless babbling. She's with Yamcha, the way she wanted to be. I found him with her about three weeks ago and apparently she's been sleeping with him behind my back for a long time. The only reason she came to me, was to get Yamcha mad and get even with him. She never cared a damn about myself or my children."
Trunks cursed and lowered his head in shame at what his mother was. "I'm sorry dad."
Vegeta ruffled the boys hair and smiled. "It's not your fault boy."
Serenity was thinking and finally came up with an idea, but could wait until the meeting was close to an end to do it. "Anyway, when I was about fourteen-years old, I ran into my guardian, Luna who told me I was the legendary warrior Sailor Moon who had to protect the Sailor senshi and the moon princess."
"At first, I hated the idea of taking responsibility for fighting and killing, but after a couple of fights, I realized that many innocent people would die because of the enemy and became more serious, but at a terrible price. Finally the time came when we had to face our enemy from the moon, Beryl. We, again, died one by one, except for me, causing something to snap. I defeated Queen Beryl, died and was reborn as I wished that we could all be happy together. As we were reborn, we were given new powers so that we could be able to defeat future enemies if they approached."
"A month later, I was introduced to my future daughter, Rini, who would have been born if I had stayed with Mamoru. We traveled to the future to save thirtieth century crystal tokyo, but now I am under the impression that it wouldn't have mattered because that future was unstable. After we defeated that enemy we rested for about six months, feeling safe when another enemy hit us and this is when the outer senshi, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto joined us."
"We had to find the talismans before the enemy did, or the world would have been destroyed. At the time we weren't on the side of Sailor Moon and only worked for ourselves." Haruka felt embarrassed about their past actions and looked at her friend for forgiveness which Serenity readily gave. "Within time, Serenity showed us that fighting with her and not alone, would be the strongest weapon. She even saved Saturn, who in all other life times, should not even exist outside of an eternal sleep."
"Why not?" Kakarot asked. "She seems like a good kid to me."
"Because, I'm the Sailor Scout of Death and Destruction. I'm the only Sailor Senshi that could be considered on the borderline of good and evil. In this case, because of Serenity's love and kindness I chose to be with her instead of signing the death warrant on this planet like it should have been."
"After defeating the enemy, the earth again was plunged into a peaceful existence to be shattered once more about a month later by the dark moon circus. This was hard on us, but we again received more power to help defeat the enemy and all of us became Super Sailor Senshi."
"This is where we come in," Seiya said. "Usagi, or Serenity now, was seeing off Mamoru too college when his star seed, that which makes us a sailor senshi was taken from him. The pain was horrible for her, as she forgot what happened and we had to try and get her to remember because her most powerful enemy that the universe has ever faced, was coming for her. She was the last, Sailor Senshi with a star crystal to be left standing and we have no idea how that ended up, since she never discussed it with any of us."
"It was horrible Seiya. All I had left was Princess Kakyu, the amazon quartet and chibi chibi." Serenity looked him dead in the eyes and for the first time since that horrible day, she let down all barriers and masks and showed him what she had felt. "Chibi chibi was myself from so far in the future who had lost the reason to fight. All her friends were dead, her husband Endymion was dead, and all the people on Earth were dead. She told me this before I left the cauldron and came back here to lead my life. The only reason I didn't give up after all of you had been taken, was because I thought there was still a chance to save all of you when I won. But what scares me is that another evil is coming, a dark one, and that woman Sailor Cosmos will come again if I'm not able to save any of you. I will not be like her though and run away from a fight. If all of you die, then so will I, it's as simple as that."
Vegeta's tail wrapped around her waist and pulled her down to comfort her. It was odd for the Z warriors to see Vegeta so affectionate towards someone, but it was plain as day that he loved her more than anything in the universe.
"Well," Makoto said. "Tell us how you guys started out."
Vegeta started that story as well, since he was more aware of what happened before the planet blew. "When I was born, my father had promised me to Frieza by the time I turned five years old. Turn and Pars I met when I was four years old and formed a bond of friendship with them that was shattered by my father when he gave them as slaves to the Ice-jins. I quickly forgot about that a year later when I was brought aboard Frieza's ship into a life of hell and pain."
"Raditz and Nappa were my body guards and were sent with me when the planet blew. All I knew, was how to become a trained killer and to survive among people that hated even themselves. Through it all, I kept the pride of my race, hoping against hope that one day the race would thrive again. The years passed and I found out that Raditz had a brother on this planet, Kakarot. We needed another Saiya-jin so that we might be able to fight against Frieza, but that was not to happen as the idiot screwed things up and ended up getting himself killed instead. When I heard about the dragon balls, I thought about immortality so that I could defeat Frieza over time, without the fear of dying, but that too was denied as Kakarot defeated me in battle, time and time again, despite the fact he had a lower power level than myself. I learned over the years, that emotions and heart play a big role in why we fight and that is why Kakarot has always won."
Kakarot picked up the story, "I landed on Earth, with the sole purpose to destroy all life forms, but a miracle I call it, was when I hit my head and lost all memories of my mission and was raised as an earthling to defend life instead of destroying it. Every person that you see here now, was once a criminal that has decided to fight with me instead of against. Piccolo was the hardest to change, but because of his friendship and love for my son Gohan, he decided that being bad was not as good as being a hero."
"We died more than once trying to defend this planet. The first time was against Raditz, then Nappa and Vegeta. After that, we were forced to go to Namek to save the universe from Frieza so that he would not gain his wish to becoming immortal. This is the first time, we started to see a change in Vegeta as he finds the courage to fight Frieza and no longer work for him. That was when I discovered that Vegeta was not what he appeared and what existed inside of him, deep down, had been buried and almost stamped out by years of cruelty, fear and hatred. Four years pass after we defeat Frieza to go up against the androids, Cell, and Majin Buu seven years later. The final fights were against Broli, a saiya-jin we didn't know about and some androids that we had missed during the red ribbon army."
"The last several years have been relatively peaceful, but then I discovered that my wife, not mate, had been cheating on me for some time with a former member of our team, Yamcha. I decided then, that somehow she wasn't who I was meant to be with and went looking for what was suppose to be my destiny. I found her."
"Man!" Krillan shouted. "So the sailor senshi have been fighting evil since we began training for the androids. We wouldn't have been concentrating on any other enemies with the other worries we had."
"I felt it," Kakarot stated, "but after our enemies had been destroyed the power levels would disappear and I thought I was imagining things due to the stress of the fight that we were facing."
Tien looked at the girls and couldn't help but smirk. "You mean to tell me, that these girls can fight evil. I saw them transform, but I never saw them fight anything other than the girl hanging on Vegeta's arms."
Vegeta growled, but a gentle arm landed on his shoulder as Serenity smiled at him, calming his heart down. Serenity stood up and looked at all the senshi. "Senshi, transform!"
"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!"
"MARS CRYSTAL POWER!"
"VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!"
"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!"
"SATURN PLANET POWER!"
"URANUS PLANET POWER!"
"NEPTUNE PLANET POWER!"
"PLUTO PLANET POWER!"
"ETERANL MOON CRYSTAL POWER!"
"MAKE-UP!"
Blue, Yellow, Red, Green, black, Orange, Aqua-green, purple and silver surrounded the nine senshi, twirling them in the air and changing them into their stronger forms.
"SAILOR STARFIGHTER MAKE-UP!"
"SAILOR STARMAKER MAKE-UP!"
"SAILOR STARHEALER MAKE-UP!"
Three women stood in front of them instead of men, causing every Z warrior, including Vegeta to blush bright red and to blink more than once. "I still can't get use to their sex change," Gohan commented.
"Tell me about it," Krillan giggled.
The last one to change was Mamoru who changed into a man, wearing his armour, sword and long black cloak instead of his normal disguise. He no longer needed it and was much stronger as Prince Endymion.
"I AM SAILOR MERCURY,"
"VENUS,"
"MARS,"
"Prince Endymion,"
"JUPITER,"
"SATURN,"
"URNAUS,"
"NEPTUNE,"
"PLUTO,"
"STARFIGHTER,"
"STARMAKER,"
"STARHEALER,"
"ETERNAL SAILOR MOON!! AND TOGETHER WE MAKE,"
"THE SAILOR SENSHI, FIGHTERS FOR LOVE, JUSTICE AND PEACE AGAINST EVIL."
The Z warriors had never seen anything like this before and could feel the power coming from all thirteen warriors, especially the one in the rainbow suit with wings coming from her back. Eternal Sailor Moon walked up to the Z warriors and glanced at everyone of them. "We may not have the abilities you have, but don't count us out of a fight until you have had a chance to see us. We each deal with ki attacks, but in a different manner. Ours is based off magic, while all of you use the energy around you."
Her words sank into their minds and they each nodded and didn't doubt her words. Her power was enormous compared to any of them here and they wondered why. Vegeta was proving to be a lot different as well, but none of them knew how much when he came up beside her and the wings that had disappeared each time they woke up from a fierce session of love and passion, appeared on his back as he forced himself to concentrate. He didn't know why he had wings and the other Saiya-jins didn't, but he didn't deny them either. A lot of power came from this form and he thought there might be a form that neither him, nor Serenity had reached yet. Sailor Moon concentrated and her wings changed to a longer and more silver color with rainbows at the end of them. A flame symbol was on Vegeta's head as the crescent moon symbol on Sailor Moon's head changed to a rainbow.
The biggest surprise came when Kakarot suddenly grew wings that matched the colors of both Serenity and Vegeta. He had an expression of complete wonder and awe, the words failing him. Pluto, not for the last time, couldn't figure out the role that Kakarot played in all their lives. She had a feeling Courage knew where Kakarot came from and why, but the Unicorn would probably keep his secrets. 'He said that he was a creation, does that mean..? No way!' She looked closer and could see the resemblance to his power to Serenity's and Vegeta's, yet it wasn't. 'Could I be wrong, but it's the only idea that makes any sense?'
Vegeta and Serenity were confused as well, but decided to figure things out later. They both realized that there were still pieces that were alluding their memories and would eventually come to them when they would need it the most.
The sailor senshi did not know what to say about this change in their friend, because she had never had any mark except for the crescent moon. "Who are you Sailor Moon?" StarFighter asked.
"Hope," Pluto said. "And courage is her soul mate."
"What is that suppose to mean?" Venus asked. Pluto didn't answer because she didn't know the answer herself. All thirteen of the warriors changed back, with the wings of Kakarot, Vegeta and Serenity fading away as well.
"There's a new enemy coming and that is why everyone was called here," Serenity stated. "I can see him coming and I know who it is."
"Nothiness," Pluto stated.
Everyone in the senshi group gasped in fear and shock. "What is that?"
"Where everything that the black void touches, it ceases to exist, even in the other realm. There will be no record that the person died or was even born."
Serenity nodded, her face withdrawn and troubled. "I've felt it for four years, and it slowly draws closer. I don't know if we have the power to fight it this time, but I'm going to try."
"We'll beat it!" Kakarot vowed, joined by the other warriors. Serenity sadly smiled, but kept silent about a decision she had made. 'No one is going to die for me again!' Vegeta heard that last comment and frowned and decided she needed to be watched carefully. She was bound to do something stupid, which made him determined to learn how to do instant transmission from Kakarot. He felt like he needed to learn it before the fight with what ever nothingness was.
"How long before it gets here?"
"One month," Serenity stated.
"Are you sure," Haruka cried out.
"I'm sure."
"That means we need to train really hard until they get here!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Vegeta pulled Serenity close to him and whispered in her ear. "I want you to promise me something."
Serenity looked at him apprehensively, but knew she couldn't deny him "What?"
"What ever decision you make in the nearby future, allow me to stay by your side so that I can fight with my mate. Please do this for me, Serenity. If you don't then you dishonor me by not allowing me to try and keep my soul mate safe."
She trembled as she bowed her head and he tilted her chin to look at him.
"Please, I beg you not to do this alone Serenity. I understand you wanting to keep the others out of this, but you have no right to ask me to do the same. I felt you die once and I couldn't do a thing, but this time I have the chance to make up for that and it would kill me if you died. If your going to die, then I want to do it with you."
For the first time since she became Sailor Moon, Serenity looked as if part of her heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. "Thank you Vegeta and I promise only you. I would probably ask for the same in your shoes. Know that I love you and that I'm happy to have known love even for a little bit. It seems to be destiny that we only be together for a couple of months before we face an enemy that will kill us."
He gently pulled her close to him and kissed her tenderly, because he felt that he only had so long with her and didn't want to spend it unwisely. "I love you too, my moon princess, hope and light of the universe."
"You're my heart, strength and courage in battle my strong warrior."
