I just fixed my comp. problems so no more crashes! Yeah! Oh yeah, AGES! Gohan-16, Trunks-8, Goten-7, Future Trunks- . ((He’ll be in the chapter after next.))Well, Ja ne!! =^-^= I don’t own these character, don’t sue! Notes: * * - Thoughts ------- - Change of character or room ~Outside of Capsule Corp~ Sailor Pluto climbed to her feet shakily as her eyes never left the two figures in front of her. She rubbed the back of her bruised hand along her bleeding lip and grimaced slightly at the pain it induced. *She saved my life. She really has forgiven me. Now, if only her father was so forgiving.* She glared at the saiyan over Eternal Sailor Moon’s shoulder. The blond kept the smirk on her face and turned to the senshi of time. “Are you okay Puu?” The green haired woman nodded and tried to straighten her hair slightly. “I’m fine Usagi but why did you turn into Eternal Sailor Moon? You could’ve blocked that blast on your own after the training you’ve been through.” Usagi thought about this for a few seconds then rubbed the back of her neck as she smiled. “I forgot about that! I guess it was more like habit for me. You know, making my big entrance and all.” Pluto and Piccolo both sweat dropped slightly. She quickly brushed her hand along the surface of the broach on her bow and in a glimmer of lights had reversed the earlier transformation from Usagi to Eternal Sailor Moon. “There!” Everyone was in slight shock from the fighting and lights shows so there was only silence. Goten and Trunks couldn’t believe what was happening and Gohan was in shock as well. Gohan turned his head slowly to look at the saiyan prince beside him. *She’s Vegeta’s daughter? How?* Vegeta was mesmerized by the sight of his daughter. His heir. *Could this really be my daughter? Or is it just a trick that woman is pulling?* He watched in wonder as she again changed forms, the sheepish look still on her face. When she turned back towards him however, the smirk returned. She was of average height with long blond hair up in a ridiculous hairstyle. Her blue eyes stared straight into his. *Her blue eyes. They look the same.* “That was quite a greeting you gave Sailor Pluto Father.” Vegeta frowned. “I don’t know what your trying to pull woman but this girl isn’t my daughter! She would only be eight years old by now!” Usagi winced and received a glare from Pluto. *Shit! Maybe Puu was right when she said I should’ve stayed chibi!* “I know that your majesty. In the dimension she has been living in time passed twice as fast. She has completed her mission there and wished to return at the age she had reached there. If you wish I could revert her to age eight but I fear that you might have to work that out with her.” Vegeta snorted and folded his arms. *And she expects me to believe that?* He continued frowning until his eyes fell on something. “A tail.” Gohan, being one of the only ones able to hear what he had said, repeated it louder. “So she really does have a tail.” Everyone turned towards him and Bulma made her way to his side as Vegeta changed back from SSJ. “A tail? What do you mean? This girl has a tail?” Vegeta’s classic smirk was on his face now. Usagi was feeling slightly happier but she still kept on her guard in case he attacked. *I don’t know him so he might! The negaverse always used sneaky tricks like that!* “She has a tail so IS my daughter. She is the twin of that brat over there and was stolen from the hospital on the day of her birth.The heir to the throne that was stolen from me eight years ago by that woman!”He almost did attempt to attack Pluto again but when his eyes met Usagi’s, her sudden glare made him back down. Bulma was stupefied. After all, it’s not everyday that a girl suddenly appears out of nowhere and claims to be your daughter. It’s even stranger when your husband supports the statement. *Why does Vegeta know this? Why can’t I remember any of this?!* She frowned, put her hands on her hips and walked straight up to Usagi and Pluto. “So. You claim to be my daughter?” Usagi nodded once and started playing with her hair in her nervousness. *What if she doesn’t like me? What if. . . * Bulma continued to study the girl as Usagi stared at the ground between them. “If your my daughter than why don’t I know about it? Why does just Vegeta know?” Pluto stepped forward slightly. “I think I can answer that question. You see, Usagi was needed in another dimension. I . . . took her from your husband that night in the hospital eight years ago. I promised him I would bring her back after sixteen years but as I said before, time passed differently for us. The reason only Vegeta knows is because I chose it. For Usagi to be reaccepted into this dimension without disrupting the time or dimensional streams I needed at least one person to remember that she existed here. I chose Vegeta since he is her father and the current leader of the saiyans.” Bulma accepted this with only a dazed look. *It could actually make sense. After all, I did meet my son from the future a whole year before he was born!* “So, this girl here is my daughter?” Pluto and Usagi both nodded and Bulma felt tears coming to her eyes. She stared Usagi in the eye for a few seconds than jumped towards her and gave her a tight hug. “I have a daughter!!” Her happy cries increased in volume as Trunks watched with a frown. *My twin?! Who does she think she is?!* Goten was watching with a smile. “Look Trunks! You have a twin sister who’s older than you!” He started laughing loudly as Trunks sneered at him. “She’s not my twin! Let alone my sister!!” Piccolo suddenly interrupted. “As a matter of fact, she is. I have trained her and know for a fact that she is a saiyan and your sister.” Gohan, who had overheard this, stared from Piccolo to Usagi and back. Vegeta also heard and almost attacked Piccolo then and there. *What?! The green baka knew about her and where she was and never told me?! He’s going to pay!!* He cracked his knuckles but refrained from actual physical violence. For the time being that is. *He was actually helping that Pluto woman. I’ll get both of them for this!* “You mean you really trained her Piccolo?“ Piccolo nodded and warily watched Vegeta’s reaction. *Good. He’s not trying to kill me yet. I may be able to play on his pride for his daughter and get out of this whole revenge thing. I have better things to do after all.* “She is very good. Fast, strong, agile. She always seems to have another move hidden away as well.” Gohan gazed at Usagi with new eyes and Vegeta smirked in satisfaction. Usagi blushed under the praise of her former mentor. “Aw, gee Piccolo! Thanks!” Piccolo frowned but only shared a glance with Pluto. Vegeta smirked. “Fast and strong, eh? Maybe I should see just how good you really are brat.” Usagi pouted. “Brat? That’s no fair! Your my father! You shouldn’t call me a brat!” Vegeta smirked. “Oh yeah, brat? Come on then! Show me your best move!” Everyone backed up slightly and Pluto turned to Usagi with a smile. “Use your weakest attack Usagi. He might not be able to stand up to a full blast.” Vegeta heard this, of course, and snickered slightly. “I’m not worried about any of the attacks you could use on me weakling. Give it your best shot.” He quickly powered up to SSJ and smirked once again at Usagi, who was now alone on the makeshift battlefield since the others had backed away. “Well, get on with it! Power up!” Usagi smiled at this. “I don’t need to.” Vegeta blinked and quickly felt her ki. Vegeta sneered. “This is it? It’s barely higher than Nappa’s was! You must be hiding quite a lot. At least I hope so. If not, you may not be fit to be my heir.” Usagi frowned but decided not to retort. *After all, he doesn’t know anything about me! My power isn’t something you can just guess at! After all, I did learn some things by being Sailor Moon!* She sweat dropped. *Then again, maybe all I learned from that was how to pose and say a little speech!* “Alright then father. Here goes! Full Moon Combination!” It was the same move she had used against Piccolo earlier, Gohan noted. *I think she’ll need more than that if she want to beat Vegeta though.* The saiyan prince just sneered and held out one hand to deflect the beam. “Please say this wasn’t your best. Even Trunks could’ve blocked that one.” Both Trunks and Usagi glared at him in anger. “To think that your actually my daughter. I would’ve done better with just a normal human as my heir!” She balled her fists at her sides and felt her eyes start to water, which Vegeta noticed quite easily. “Now your crying?! You really aren’t fit to be my heir!” Usagi let out a small yell and threw a couple of small ki balls in his direction. He lazily jumped out of the way, his arms folded calmly. I have no idea how you were able to live as a warrior in that other dimension. What, were you actually fighting at all? Or was it just your friends?” Usagi froze as she was about to attack him yet again. “I fought! My friends only helped when they were needed!” Vegeta chuckled. “I guess that means they fought most of the battle for you then. They would be needed in every one!” Usagi’s eyes flashed and she rushed towards him, faster than even Gohan and Piccolo could follow. Seconds later they heard a crash and saw Usagi embedded in a wall about 20 feet away. She was gasping for breath and her hair looked as though it was about to come loose. Vegeta was just staring down at her from his position in the air. “If all you did was allow your friends to fight your battle for you than I bet they got hurt alot.” He smirked. “Did they get hurt alot?” Usagi sprang to her feet. *Why is he doing this to me?! Doesn’t he know how it was for me? Always wondering if they were going to get hurt just because Pluto told me never to use the skills Piccolo had taught me?* “It wasn’t my fault!” She jumped into the air and started punching at a furious speed yet none of them reached their goal. “ Ha! How many of your friends died trying to protect you because you couldn’t protect yourself?” At the enraged look from Usagi Vegeta laughed slightly. *Now I’ve hit the jackpot!* “You mean your friends really did die because of you? How many? Two? Three? All of them?” Vegeta already knew the answer to this question since Pluto’s letter had explained it all to him. He was deliberately trying to anger her so as to see if she would be able to turn SSJ. *She should be getting angry enough by now!* Pluto frowned and narrowed her eyes at Vegeta. She understood what he was doing but didn’t approve of his methods. *He may actually push her TOO far. Losing all of the senshi, including me, was the worst thing she ever went through. And it happened more than once. He may be getting more than he bargained for when he finally pushes her over the edge.* Usagi was trembling with her barely contained rage. She knew that what he was saying was wrong. It hadn’t been her fault, the scouts had told her so. Right? Vegeta finally was getting annoyed. Her power level had risen slightly but she hadn’t achieved SSJ. *Can it be that she won’t be able to?* He shook his head. *No. It has to be possible. She has a tail after all.* Vegeta just continued taunting her. “And to think that you are all that that other dimension had to protect them! If I was still in the business of conquering planets I would go there right now and you wouldn’t be able to stop me from killing everyone there!” He smirked at the Blond. “Your friends are probably getting used to you abandoning them in battle anyway so you shouldn’t worry about letting them down.” Usagi just stared, her eyes burning . *How DARE he?!! It wasn’t my fault! I could’ve saved! But. . . I . . . didn’t.* She seemed to almost shut down for a few seconds until the thoughts and feelings running through her mind finally broke down her control. “IT WASN’T MY FAULT!!!” Vegeta fell silent at the scream of rage from the usually calm blond. Her aura burst to life around her, burning an angry red. “How dare you say that to me! I’ll make you pay!!” She threw her head back and everyone backed up even more as her aura grew brighter. Vegeta decided to put in one last taunt for good measure. “Sure brat. I’ll bet your not able to do anything without your little senshi here to protect you!” Suddenly there was a large flash and Usagi’s moon sigil appeared on her forehead. Her hair changed to a bright silver and seemed to glow with an inner light. Her once deep blue eyes were now an incandescent silver. Her tail was unwrapped from her waist and she was glaring at Vegeta, who was astounded by the amount of power emanating from her. *How can this be?! * She was floating effortlessly in the air in front of him and if looks could kill, he would already be burning in the nether regions of hell. “Now. You will be punished ‘father’.” Usagi sneered at the term but then her face went calm again. “I am the protector of the innocent and the upholder of justice. In the name of my friends, you will wish you had never said any of those things!!” Vegeta was frozen in shock and didn’t even have time to dodge as Usagi’s fist connected with his jaw. Followed by a kick to the gut and then another punch to the head and then he lost track of the numerous blows landing on him from every direction. The pain seemed to worsen as he caught sight of her face yet again. It was like she had transformed into a monster, there was no emotion in her pale eyes. Her eyes that used to convey every thought to the saiyan now only conveyed the promise of death to the man in front of her. With a grunt of effort he jumped to the ground ten feet away to catch his breath. Usagi had also stopped but her cold glare continued to bore into him. “To think I went through everything in that other dimension just to be here with you and my family. I thought you would understand me. I guess I was wrong. Now, DIE!!” She again charged at him, only to be blocked by both Piccolo and Pluto. “Princess, you don’t really want to do this. Please calm down” Pluto’s eyes were worried as she tried to locate the kind, generous girl she had known for so long. *Please stop Usagi!* Piccolo was silent but that and his calm glare was what really knocked Usagi back to her senses. Her aura remained as bright as ever but her eyes finally regained their humanity. She blinked and looked to Vegeta. He was bleeding in numerous places and holding his arms close to his body. The strange look he was sending her broke her heart. *Oh no! What have I done! What have I done?! He was just testing me and I could’ve killed him!* Tears started streaming down her cheeks and she slowly started shaking her head, as though she could just deny what had just happened. Gohan was watching it all in sympathy. He knew what it was like for someone close to you to suddenly turned against you. *Poor Usagi. * Vegeta was actually in pain but was trying not to show it. After all, she was his daughter and she shouldn’t have been able to hurt him, right? Trunks and Goten were in shock, as was Bulma. The two boys had never felt a power like that. Was it possible that she really was Trunks’ sister? Usagi shuddered as she read her own version of the looks she was receiving. *They hate me. All of them.* She started to back away, her long white hair dragging in the dirt slightly. There eyes tracked her as she made her way farther and farther away. *I. . . I have to get out of here.* With that last thought she shot into the air as fast as her new SSJ from could go. Long gone before even Pluto and Vegeta had the chance try and stop her. Gohan gasped but didn’t even think as he jumped into the air as well. “Usagi! Wait! Where are you going?!” He futilely tried to keep up with her dimming form but lost track of her in the afternoon clouds. He slowed down and Usagi’s tear streaked face flashed in his minds eye. *Usagi. Please come back. I. . . * He lowered his head in defeat and headed back to Capsule Corp, alone. +~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ Okay. I’m really sorry if this version still wasn’t satisfying. I will have the next chapter out soon but here’s a slight preview as to what’s going to happen. +~+~+~+ Videl slowly rose to her feet and stared at the white haired girl in front of her. She wore a very short white skirt and and wore a long flowing cape around her shoulders. A small white masked blocked any clear view of the girls face yet was decorative at the same time. Her hair was loose except for a single braid hanging down from either side of her head and fell fluidly to the grimy ground. The girl actually seemed to glow in the dark alley of Satan city. *First the Great Saiyaman and now this girl! We might be getting too many super heroes for this town to handle!* “Who are you?” The masked girl in front of Videl seemed to think for a few moments before she responded. “Call me. . . Cosmos.” Then, before Videl could even thank her for the rescue, she had jumped straight onto the building behind them and flew away. +~+~+~+ Keep in mind, it’s just a preview and I may have to change a few of the words or add more descriptive sentences. Just thought you may want to know where the story’s going next. *grin* Ja ne! stonekid@etv.net Tsukino Neko =^-^=
