Part VIII
King Kai stood waxing his
car. Suddenly he sensed someone entering Goku’s dimension. He bit his lip.
"Well. What’s this? A Trainer? Why would a trainer be coming to this world?"
King Kai rubbed his palms together, thinking. "This might be of help to
Goku, he’s still on planet Namek facing off with Freeza. I’m worried about
him."
"What going on?", Piccolo
messed with the halo floating over his head.
"A new power has entered this
world."
Piccolo shrugged, "SO a great
new power was born. How’s that going to help?"
King Kai shook his head, "No,
it wasn’t born, it entered, I don’t know what’s going on. But it landed
on Planet Namek."
Usagi opened her eyes, they were laying in a deep crater. "Ouch, I really got to work on my landings!" she groaned. She looked around for Mamoru, he was sprawled a few feet away. Usagi struggled over to him. She checked his pulse, and checked to make sure he was still breathing. "He’s OK. Just passed out." she whispered. She put his arm around her neck and began to drag him out.
Bulma gasped as the large orb made of shifting colors crashed a few dozen feet away from where she was sitting. "That definitely wasn’t a Freeza cult space ship. Maybe it’s Goku!" she scrambled towards the crater. When she arrived, there was no sign of the orb, but a young girl was struggling to pull an older man out of the crater. She tripped, but got up and continued to pull him out. Bulma gasped, "Hey! Hold it! Let me help!"
Usagi looked at the source
of the voice , a blue haired woman ran towards them. "Who are you?" The
woman held up Mamoru’s other side. "Let’s get him under cover, it’s not
safe to be out in the open. Let’s get him to my place."
Usagi laid Mamoru down in
the ravine, Bulma ran to get a med. kit. Usagi brushed a few hairs away
from his face. "Sorry about this Mamoru"
He stirred under her touch.
"Usako?" he murmured.
Usako stoked his forehead.
"Oh my love. I’m sorry, it’s my fault you’re like this. You’ll get better,
you have to…"
"Usagi? I’ve got the med.
kit! Let’s see, so you’re a… what was it that you said you did?"
Usagi leaned backed, "I’m
a trainer, I train people to use the power within them."
Bulma nodded, "You should
meet Goku and Gohan. What do you teach?"
Usagi shrugged and damped
a towel in the bowl of lukewarm water Bulma had supplied, she could only
thank the gods it didn’t activate her curse. She wiped the dirt and grit
from Mamoru’s face. "Whatever it is my students need to know."
Bulma nodded, "You seem a
little young to be a Sensei, I mean, Master Roshi is ancient, and King
Kai is even older!"
Usagi shrugged again, "I’m
older than I look. I was also forced to grow up fast."
Bulma nodded, "So how old
are you?"
Usagi shrugged, "I have no
idea, my body is fourteen, but my awareness is probably older than dirt."
Bulma nodded, "Wow. How is
your body fourteen and your awareness older?"
Usagi shrugged, "I’m not sure
how, but it’s because I’ve been reborn several times and had time turned
back god knows how many times." Usagi looked at a deep cut on Mamoru’s
arm. She took a bandage and some disinfectant and began cleaning it. "Why
are you here?"
Bulma sighed sadly, "Krillan,
Gohan, and I came here for the DragonBalls, the ones on my planet disappeared
and we came here to wish our friends back. When we got here we found some
really big shots were after the balls too. The ringleader, Freeza, is really
powerful! We sent for Goku, he’ll get here soon, he should be here already."
Usagi nodded, "I can check."
Bulma sweat dropped, "It’s
not safe to go near the battle ground!"
Usagi shook her head. "I’ll
have to go after a while. I was brought for a reason, and I’m damn well
going to do it! I have to use the Mirror to see who my students will be."
She summoned the mirror.
Bulma face vaulted.
"Where’d that come from? And how did it survive the
crash."
Usagi smiled, "That’s one
of the thing I train my students to do. It was in my sub space pocket.
Mirror, show me Goku! Oh dear."
Bulma strained to see. "What?"
"He’s here, and he’s facing
off the Ginue force. He can handle them, but that’s not what’s worrying
me. It’s Freeza, he’s got a huge power! Nothing I can’t handle without
help of course, but he doesn’t even train all that much! And he’s after
eternal life! What’s more, he has all seven Dragon Balls!" Usagi watched
Goku facing off with Racoom. "Man. This can’t be good. After what that
bastard did to that kid, I’d like get in my own hit! What the…?", she looked
up and saw a short orange man with white hair standing over her. "oh dear…"
He chuckled and reached for her, un-transformed she was next to helpless.
"Hey you! Goku or whatever.
I’d give up now or this girlie here gets it bad!", Goku looked up and blinked
as her saw the other two members of the Ginue, Berter and Jace, holding
a blonde girl between them.
"Hey, where’d she come from?
The earth Saya-jin didn’t have her with them!", Racoom called to his team
mates.
Goku heard Vegeta whisper,
"Kakorot! We have to save that girl. There’s something about her, she wields
a tremendous power, even greater than Freeza!", Goku nodded, then the girl
began to kick and yell.
"Oh look, our little pussy
foot is a real wild cat!",
Usagi struggled, "That’s it!
Now I’m steamed!" she carefully aimed her kicks for the pressure points
Ramna had taught her. She hit the one that numbed Jace’s arm, he dropped
her. "Moon Crystal Power!" she transformed, figures raced across Berter’s
scouter.
"I don’t believe it! Her power
levels! They’re all rising, Fighting, strength, speed, everything. Wait
a sec! She can’t fly!" Berter whispered to Jace.
Sailor Moon scowled, "I am
the Sailor Suited Warrior! Sailor Moon! How dare you touch me in those
places! In the name of the Moon! I’ll whip ya!"
Jace made a little moue of
disappointment. "Sailor Moon? Whip me? Sounds interesting. This really
isn’t the time or place. I’ll settle for a fight." Sailor Moon turned red
from the collar up, "I wonder how far that blush goes, maybe I should find
out." Jace said lecherously.
Sailor Moon scowled. "JACE
NO HENTAII!", she rushed him. Jace dodged, Sailor Moon altered her flight
so she managed to use a boulder as a spring board. She rammed into Jace’s
gut with her elbow. She kneed him in the groin and fell back to earth,
and for once landed on her feet.
Jace fell down as well. "Bitch!"
Sailor Moon smirked, "That’s
Ms. Bitch to you! I fact just call me the Queen! Moon Specter Elimination!"
Jace watched the deadly blast come towards him faster than he could dodge.
"Jace!" Berter yelled.
Jace rolled away, his prized white hair smoking. "Damn bitch!", Berter
put his hand on Jace’s shoulder. "I’ll take care of this uppity little
bitch."
Sailor Moon readied herself
for the attack. But a red flash knocked into Berter before he could even
start. It was Goku! "You know," he drawled as her ground his heel into
Berter’s face. "We have a custom back on Earth, we don’t pick on girls
smaller than you. I’m afraid I’ll have to defend the poor maiden."
Sailor Moon lifted an eye
brow, "Poor Maiden? I’ll poor maiden you!", she shouted. Vegeta winced,
this one had a temper of flames, though her short little skirt was rather
interesting to look at. He reluctantly returned his attention to the fight,
Krillan and Gohan weren’t so lucky, they were entranced by this new ally.
"Kame Hame Ha!", Berter escaped,
barely. He, Jace, and Racoom floated into the air. "We’ll be back!" They
disappeared.
Goku turned to Sailor Moon, "Who are you?"
Sailor Moon cleared her throat.
"I’m Sailor Moon. I train Warriors." she blinked and made a gesture with
one hand, there was a tiny flash and a silver Mirror dropped into her hand.
"What do you want now!", she muttered as she looked into it. "Ahh.
Well looks like my next group has shown up." she gestured again and the
mirror disappeared.
"What do you mean, next group?"
Vegeta asked warily.
Sailor Moon sighed. "Do you
listen to anything? I said I train warriors. I’m here to train Gohan, and
other unmentioned persons to be Senshi."
Vegeta face vaulted for the
first and last time in his life. "Senshi? The last trainer of Senshi died
ten thousand years ago."
Sailor Moon sighed and rubbed
her forehead. "I am a Senshi from another Dimension, I’m here to train
the destiny chosen. Got it?" she turned to Gohan. "Destiny chose you little
one."
Gohan sweat dropped, "What’s
a Senshi?"
Sailor Moon thought. "What
your dad is, but they have the ability to be reborn without Dragon Balls.
That’s why we’re trained to be Warriors. We can always come back to finish
the job." she explained.
"What if I don’t want to become
a Senshi?", he asked warily.
"Then you’ll slowly waste
away and what talent you have will slowly fade with you. After a while,
you’ll die. It’s… it’s not pretty." she whispered.
Gohan looked to his father.
Goku came to him. "Gohan, if you have a chance like this, you should take
it. I won’t stand in you’re way."
Gohan hugged his father and
approached Sailor Moon. "I’m ready."
Sailor Moon blinked, "Boy,
you sound like you’re going to your death! Lighten up! He who hath not
humor hath nothing." she quoted. "I won’t train anyone who has no sense
of humor!" Goku face vaulted.. Sailor Moon eyed him evilly, "Watch it bud.
When you go through what I have, you’ll jump at a chance to laugh."
Goku looked at her. "I’m beginning
to think they’re all like this. Do you perchance know King Kai?"
Sailor Moon thought. "Name’s
familiar, but doesn’t ring any bells. But I’ve had my memory erased so
many times, I’m surprised I can remember my own name." she joked. Gohan
levitated himself. Sailor Moon yipped. "How in hell did you do that?" she
squeaked.
Vegeta scoffed. "Some Sensei."
Sailor Moon fixed him with
a baleful glare. "I said I was from another dimension, we never found out
how to fly." she snarled. She leapt up, reaching the top of the bolder.
"We make do." she and Gohan left, Gohan jumping after her, finding it rather
fun.
"I can teach you."
Sailor Moon stopped. "Teach
me what?", she looked back at Gohan.
"To fly." Gohan looked at
her, hoping for a sign of approval.
"Sure why not. I’ll teach
you what I know, you teach me some of your techniques. It’s good when a
teacher can learn from her students." she winked playfully at Gohan.
Gohan was surprised at her
friendly nature. She was completely different from Mr. Piccolo. Maybe it
was the differences in their personalities. Sailor Moon began to fiddle
with the pendant on her bow. "What are you doing?" he asked.
Sailor Moon smiled. "There’s
no need for me to stay transformed, so I’m going back to normal. Maybe
not. I’ll teleport us."
Gohan blinked, "You
can teleport!"
Sailor Moon laughed. "Told
you there were thing we could learn from each other", she laughed. She
reached down and grasped Gohan’s hand. "Sailor! Teleport!", she yelled.
They vanished.
Bulma screeched as the two
figures appeared beside her. "Gohan! Who are you?"
Sailor Moon sweat dropped,
"Sorry Bulma. Sailor de-transform!" Usagi knelt by Mamoru, "How is he?"
she asked nervously.
Bulma stopped shaking. "He’ll
be fine. He’s been up and around for an hour. He’s taking a nap now."
Usagi blushed. "oh… I knew
that!" she said in a rush. Usagi leaned near by . "There never seems to
be an end in sight." she muttered.
"What’s that?" Gohan sat beside
her.
"There is no light at the
end of the tunnel and I grow weary."
Gohan nodded, "Who’s that
by?"
Usagi shrugged, "Dunno, I
just made it up.".
Usagi hovered a few feet off
the ground. "I just remembered how much I hate heights.", she muttered.
She swallowed her fear and flew up a feet. Now that she had a better view.
"Now , let’s see. My first recruit is a few billion years, that a way,
next is, same place. The third is, over there! Lucky number four is, BULMA!"
"Somebody call?" Bulma looked
up.
"You make want to switch that
skirt for a good pair of pants, I’m sure Mamoru enjoys the view, but I
don’t!" she yelled.
"I’ll do what I can."
Usagi dropped down. "Bulma,
I have some interesting news for you. you’re part of my group.",
Bulma face vaulted. "You are
joking right?"
Usagi shook her head. "No.
Take this.", she pressed a Henshin stick into her hand. She’d spent most
of that night making them.
Bulma looked it over. "What’s
this?"
"Your Henshin Stick. Hold
it up and say ‘Hydro Energy Power-up!’"
Bulma nodded. "OK. Hydro Energy
Power-up!" Bulma re appeared in a skintight leotard with a tight black
skirt slit up the sides, her knee high boot were fashioned after Sailor
Moon’s, but without the whiter line or crescent moon. She gasped and felt
the slim black band around her forehead and holding her hair back, from
her ears hung two little black earrings, she had a translucent blue belt
around her waist and wrist cuffs made of some clear, blue material. Connected
to one was a folded up cross bow. Connected to her belt was a little quiver
of bolts, they were all made of some glowing material.
"Hey Gohan! Come here!"
Gohan ran up. "Hai Sensei?"
She tossed a similar wand
to him. "Say Saya-jin power."
Gohan complied and found himself
at least three feet taller and in a green and black outfit with a long
red cape wearing a pair of black shades.
"Welcome to the Senshi force
Hydra, Green Phantom. Let’s get the rest of the group. Sailor Teleport!"
They found themselves on a relatively similar surface, only among several
dome houses.
"Hey! We’re back on Earth!
Why couldn’t you have come sooner! We could have beaten Freeza and gotten
the Dragon Balls before he even left!"
Usagi shrugged. "Sorry.",
she scanned the domes until she found her target.
"Hey! There’s my Mom!" Usagi
face vaulted. This wasn’t very good. The Mirror said she had very strong
maternal instincts. She screwed up her courage and took herself and Bulma,
who she was holding, in for a landing. "AHHHHH!" Chi-Chi screamed.
Usagi made a soothing noise.
"Hello Chi-Chi. I’m Usagi, you’ve been trying to get to Planet Namek haven’t
you?"
Chi-Chi banished the scared
look from her face. "What! You can get me there? Take me now! My son is
in trouble!"
Usagi quailed, "He’s fine,
your son is very strong."
Chi-Chi nodded, "he inherited
it from his father."
Usagi nodded, "Half of it.
The rest he got from you. I’m here to train you to use that power to help
defeat Freeza."
Chi-Chi nodded, "Alright."
Usagi face vaulted, she had
anticipated some denial on Chi-Chi’s part. "Take this. Say Pyro Energy
Power-up."
Chi-Chi took the Henshin stick
with out a word and held it up. "Pyro Energy Power!" she was now dressed
in a black outfit like Bulma’s, but her gear was in clear red and she carried
a red-gold sword at her side.
"Welcome Pryros, two more
stops, and then off the Planet Namek!" Usagi held her hands together before
her and. "Sailor Teleport!"
Usagi looked around then she
spotted the strawberry blonde woman in cleric’s robes sitting in a garden
smelling flowers. "Oh dear. She’s a priest." she groaned, a nonviolent
priest would never consider becoming a warrior.
Suddenly a rock whizzed out
of nowhere and struck the priestess in the forehead. She fell back. There
was a sound of something snapping, Usagi rushed forward afraid it was the
Priestess’s neck, but was shocked when the priestess bolted up, her face
red with fury. "Why you miserable Half-wit!! You’ll pay for that! I’ll
murtalize you! Come back here!", she screamed as she bolted off after the
perpetrator. Her robes flew back to reveal a Karate GI.
"Or maybe not.", Usagi mused.
Then they took of after her.
When they found her, she had
cornered the small boy. "I’m sorry! It was an accident!"
They watched as she got a
visible hold on her anger. "It’s all right. But learn to aim better." She
turned and found herself faced with them. "Hello. I’m sorry about my outburst,
the boy is quite alright."
Usagi nodded, "We weren’t
worried about the boy all that much. It was you, that was a really nasty
fall."
She looked down and blushed,
"Well, yes I guess it was. But I’m a temple warrior, well former temple
warrior. I can take a lot more than a little rock. But I was a little angry
and that boy gave me a focus."
Usagi patted her on the shoulder.
"I’m Tsukino Usagi. Pleased to meet you."
The priestess looked up and
smiled. "I’m Sanea Robin." (She pronounced it Say eena ). She bowed.
Usagi bowed as well. "Robin,
you have a great power with in you. That is why we have been led to you.
I am a trainer of Warriors, I have come to train you along with my other
students." she indicated Chi-Chi, Bulma, and Gohan. Robin blinked.
"Really, and if I say I am
already a warrior?"
Usagi nodded, "Then you would
accept my challenge, a true warrior always seeks to extend their skills."
Robin nodded, "Then you a
true Sensei if you know that. I will accept, hopefully you can teach me
some techniques I don’t know." she smiled.
Usagi grinned and summoned
Robin’s Henshin wand. "Take this. Say Aero Energy Power-up."
Robin smiled a little oddly,
"O-O-Okay. Aero Energy Power-up!" she was now dressed in a leotard like
Chi-Chi’s and Bulma’s only with yellow belt, wrist cuffs, and a golden
spear clutched in one hand. "AHH! I thought you were kidding!" She swallowed,
"Well there’s one."
Usagi lifted an eye brow.
"NE?"
"One technique I don’t know,
I can feel my power level rising!" Usagi nodded, "Welcome to the group
Aeros !" she consulted the mirror once more and teleported them to their
last recruit.
Carrie screeched as the four
people appeared before her. She swallowed, it was just like her vision,
she stepped forward, "I’m ready.", she stated calmly.
Usagi face-vaulted, "How did
you know we were coming?" she squeaked.
The girl shrugged, "I get
these weird visions in my head, usually I’m right." She ran a hand through
her bright, coppery, red tresses.
Usagi tossed the green wand
to her. Carrie nodded, "I know the words. Terra Energy Power-up!" she was
now dressed like her battle sisters, with green accents and a strange tube
attached to her belt, she plucked it off and pressed a button on the side,
it lengthened into a slim, greenish, metal staff. She spun it in her hands
a few times, it made a whizzing noise. "Perfect, just like the one I was
trained with." she mused.
Usagi nodded, "It won’t rust
and is next to indestructible. But be careful, it is tough, but if the
enemy is strong enough it can shatter, that goes for each of you." she
surveyed her students. "Lets get to work." she teleported them back to
Namek.
