Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters or the animes, only the ones I made up for this crossover. No need to sue me, like most fic writers, I'm poor as the next man (Eventhough you could probably find another way to punish me ^^;;;;;;) I may use a few other cameos dealing with other animes in this X-over too. This is an X-over fic of the said three series. DragonballZ starts from after the Buu, a year after Gokou flies off to train Ubuu. The animated movies are also in reference to this fic. (Eventhough I know there not canon.) SailorMoon takes off after 5 months the R series. Unfortunately I don't know too much about after R (Ugh, it sucks to be American ...no...Wait... It's the censors who suck) and Tenchi Muyo comes from after where the first year OVA left off after the Kagato incident, after the Ryuten incident in the manga, and after of the Tenchi Muyo OVA movie, Daughter of Darkness(Manastu no Eve). Whew, now that I got that out the way, on to the fic. Let's hope this works ^^;; I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE RIDE! Sailor Dragon Muyo: Universe's Best Saga Episode 2 Party Time! It was early in the morning over Okayama, Japan. The sun was now minutes from shining its' warmth over all of the 'Land of the Rising Sun.' Few people were awake at this time this such country. And she was one of them. She was in the kitchen cleaning a bento. The sun now was just peeking over the horizon, and at this moment, she was the only one awake in the entire Masaki household, save one other. Does Yosho EVER sleep? She thought to herself as, with alittle exertion of her power, dried the bento in less than a second, actually making a couple of singe marks within it. She sighed as her cattail swayed about and twitched behind her as she floated over to the chopping board and butcher knife she pulled out earlier. Beside the board sat assorted vegetables, meats... and even MORE knives and cookware. some reason, she had an inner love for weapons and such. She looked about the materials wondering what she would try to make first for her man, Tenchi. They were going out today. All of them. Needless to say, she wished it was just the two of them. Ah well, it wouldn't make the day any less fun. 'An Anniversary Celebration for the Earth's Savior' the T.V. said a few days ago during a commercial break in the middle of the show they were watching. Accurately the show Mihoshi and Sasami were currently watching. Both hadn't missed an episode of 'Pokemon' yet. The commercial said the anniversary was for a man named Mr Satan. After wondering if anybody else on the planet felt the irony of paying homage to a man named directly after the devil himself, she continued her thoughts. The advertisement said 'Food, Games, Rides, Fun, Entertainment, and a chance to meet the Earth's upcoming heroes, or heroines you could say, the SailorSenshi , a visit from the Great Saiyaman team of Satan City, and then even The 'World Savior' himself, Mr Satan. She didn't like any of those options to certain different degrees. Meeting those SailorScouts might not be too bad, except for the fact that they're all female. She had five to one odds that somehow they'd get some stupid crush on him. Asahi almost did it before their trip into outer space sometime back. And Mayuka weird enough, was just a 'false alarm'. She was actually being used to try to lure Tenchi into a demonic trap. Whew. But anyway, what could that guy or any of those others have done that was so big anyway? Hell, they should be honoring Tenchi. He, on the otherhand, saved their whole galaxy. .....Along with a certain aqua haired goddess...but that's beside the point... Ah well, it was all in good fun she thought as she cut into some lettuce along with the cutting board under it, and even some of the counter. Yes, she could feel it. She couldn't wait. Today was going to be- "BOO!!!" "ACK!!!!!" Speak of the devil....devil....Satan....ugh....well anyway..... "Hello Sasami," Ryoko chirped, wiping the nervous sweatdrop from the side of her cheek and getting a grip on her nerves. The little girl giggled in response and took a look over at all the foods and dishes. "Ohh, you need any help Ryoko?" She asked. But before the demoness could reply; "Of course she does dear sister, but NOT in the way your thinking..." Enter Princess Ayeka Jurai. "And the great Juraian bear awakes from her long hibernation," Ryoko countered, as the older princess stumbled in, making badly imitated bear growls to fit her insult. Sasami stifled a giggle. Ignoring Ryoko's tasteless joke with a roll of her eyes and a 'hmph', she then looked over at all the foods and such laid about on the counter, and then a quick glance spotted the large knife in the space pirate's right hand, and put two and two together; "...I don't think people eat POISON on this planet as a type of cuisine, demon girl..." That statement hit a mark with the space pirate, "Well how about I use YOU for a test subject, huh?" She said, holding the butcher knife in a defensive position, and with it, tendrils of electrical energy sparkled about her being. Ayeka smirked evily at her nemesis as she summoned her personal energy logs from out of the thin air, each flanking herself from all sides. An unseen wind swirled through the kitchen between the two fighters... And a frightened, but more or less mad, Sasami. Immediately dropping there scowls along with their powers both broke into nervous laughter smokescreening their earlier shows of anger into a friendly little farce. The little one sighed in relief and smiled at the two and busied herself by the faucet washing her hands. "Y'know, I bet you two were planning on making something for Tenchi, right?" On the bullseye, both give a nod accompanied with a low-voiced 'Uh huh' as an answer. Turning her head to them with a bright smile, "I'll be happy to give you some help!" she said, giving a cute wink and a chuckle to finish the sentence. Both of the two women returned the smile with a small nod and made their way over to the sink to wash their hands. "Ohh yeah, Washu told me to tell you guys that Minagi was making a visit too today!" Sasami explained, oblivious to the two rivals making mischievous faces at eachother behind her back at eachother. ---------- Meanwhile later in Tokyo around the 10 o'clock hour... "Usagi, shouldn't you be getting up NOW?" the black cat inquired to the 'moon princess.' Moaning and shoving her head further under her pillow she retorted, "Usagi no get up early on a Saturday..." Luna sighed. She was obviously still half sleep. This had been going on for the past thirty minutes now. Though at this point the feline guardian would like nothing more than to let the blond sleep in, it was Saturday after all; but they, the SailorSenshi of protection and justice, had somewhere to be soon. And the longer she lays there in bed, the longer it would take to get her up. "Usagi, the SailorSoldiers have an important mission today!" The cat yelled back, sticking her head under the pillow with the half asleep scout leader. With a loud grumble Usagi rose up from the bed, flipped herself over, and plopped back down, now laying stomach up on the comfy bed. Luna, who had been unfortunately deposited harshly onto the floor, picked herself up and recomposed herself, grumbling about her aching jaw. 'Cats always land on there feet' She quoted to herself, 'Unless they know a girl named Usagi...then they land on their heads...' ".....Yaaaahooo...." the girl in question suddenly said, "my life seems to be returning to 'normal'." Of course, 'normal' meaning defending the Earth and fighting the forces of evil once more. Finally sitting up, weary eyed, she sighed. They didn't show this part in the Superhero mangas... Glancing at her alarm clock she also noted that she missed 'Pokemon'. That cute little Pikachu was taking Japan by storm, let alone probably the world, hypnotising people with their imfathable kawaiiness. Usagi sighed. Enough daydreaming. Time to ..... (WAH!!) ... get up and out of the (warm, comfortable, cozzy) bed. As she got out of bed and made her way to the bathroom to wash up, many thoughts passed her mind's eye. 'Maybe this won't be too bad, I'm sure Mamorou can come too... hmm... where was it we were going? OH YEAH! That big party thing was today! Well Tuxedo Mask is always with the Sailor S-AHHHHHHHHHH!!! I almost forgot!!! Mamo said he wanted to take me out today!! AGH!! This sucks... maybe the others can cover for me this time or something or maybe something will work itself out...' !!EDIT SPOT!! "Hey! Pippi Longstockings! OTHER people in this world need to use the bathroom too you know!" Usagi blinked a few times surprised then... "Shaddap Shingo before I come out there and make Patte` out of ya!!" Once more, Usagi and her little brother Shingo were locked in another battle, age-old enemies meeting once more on this time a verbal battlefield. It was now his move; "Well if my 'sacrifice' will remove the MUMMY from her TOMB, it'll be worth it!" he replied in a slightly dramatic, poetic, yet obviously mocking tone of voice. 'I'm sure that'll get her out of the bathroom' he thought to himself. "Wish granted, you little FUNGUS!" She shouted, much like he was expecting, but the drenching wet bathcloth that smacked him dead center in the face, wasn't. A victorious Usagi marched triumphantly towards her room to finish getting ready for the big day, leaving a quite steamed and irritated Shingo to claim the restroom he'd so long desired. She may have won another battle, but the eternal war of 'Brother And Sister' continues. ---------- So far, it was a pretty good morning for Tenchi. Any of the potential fights that morning between Ayeka and Ryoko were successfully broken up by Sasami and Mihoshi. It was pretty surprising though that they actually listened to them, but he thought to himself that it was probably best not to dispute it and just enjoy this rare peacefull morning. And pray nothing happens out of the ordinary for this one small, insignificant day. Soon after all the morning routines were followed; Tenchi, Ayeka, Ryoko, Mihoshi, Sasami, Nobiyuki, Washu, and little Ryo-Ohki, all gathered in the parking lot in which Nobiyuki's vehicle sat, a family van, ready for today's destination. It was a very sunny day, so it wasn't too much a surprise that everyone seemed to be dressed quite light. Tenchi was dressed in a white button-up short sleeve shirt, which went nicely with his black suit pants and black shoes. Ryoko wore one of her spring dresses, which also went quite well for fighting in, because of their loose fit. Ayeka one the otherhand wasn't dressed as fancy as she usually dresses, wearing fitting white pants with plain dark purple shoes and a matching dark purple short sleeve shirt. Ryoko seeing this and feeling somehow outclassed, flashed and reappeared wearing a red tank top, loose off-white jeans and a pair of what looked to be fashionable, offwhite, low top boots. Ayeka wasn't too sure what Ryoko was then glaring at her for after, but was all too happy to return the look. Washu wore her usual short pants, black shoes and a matching dark green shirt. Mihoshi wore her usual pink tank top and light brown pants and usual off purple low top shoes. Sasami like most the others, was dressed light as well, wearing a light aqua colored dress with nice tanned light brown sandals topped off with a matching pink sunhat with red ribbon. Nobiyuki also wore his usual garbs; the offgold short sleeved shirt with browm slacks. And Ryo-Ohki, with her fur washed and brushed, wore a pretty red bowtie around her neck. "Ok, let's get going! This is going to be quite a long ride up to Satan City from here so it's best we start moving so we can get there as soon as possible!" Nobiyuki said to the group while he reached into his pocket for the keys to the car. "Tenchi, isn't Granpa coming too?" Sasami asked. Tenchi shook his head. "He said he'd babysit Mayuka for us today and he'd be ok..." He then grinned alittle nervously, "and if I bring him back some nice souvenirs he said he wouldn't beat on me as much next time we spar!" Both chuckled abit at that while Nobiyuki finally fished out his keys and proceeded to opening the door on his side of the van, To find he didn't have anything to put the key in. Nobiyuki blinked, then blinked again, and scratched his head. Frankly his brain was having abit of a problem trying to register a 'close to a ton' van suddenly disappear like it was never there, eventhough he was quite sure SOMETHING was sitting in that parking lot spot a MOMENT ago. Nobiyuki, now looking flushed now and blinking profusely, turned to the crowd and asked surprisingly calm; "...Anyone see where my car went?" Everyone blinked and blinked again quite stupidly and answered by shrugging there shoulders and shaking there heads, followed by some casual gibbering among themselves afterwards... "It was there a few minutes ago..." "Maybe it was thieves..." "The best to take something that big that fast..." "Hey, where's Washu?!" That got heads turning about the place looking for the 4 foot mad scientist. Only the loud whistle she made with her two fingers helped them find her, and were quite surprised that they didn't see her before standing in the middle of the spot in which the van had disappeared, making there minds reel since they were sure they would've seen her standing there earlier... "I was thinking, why don't we go out today in style?" She asked with a bright smile on her face. Mostly, near ANYTHING Washu did was quite scary to them, and made them all, except Mihoshi and Sasami; blue in the face as usual. Washu simply snickered to herself alittle but was stopped when Nobiyuki came up to Washu sobbing at her knees. "Do you know where my CAR went Miss Waaashuuuuu?!" Washu gave an 'ack' and flailed, "Chill out! Your car is just fine!! Now let me go!" Nobiyuki hmmed relieved and backed off only to let Ryoko be the next in line to approach her. "So what did you do it?!" "I took it away of course." Ryoko groaned and took a nice breath, approaching the 'little girl'; "Excuse me, 'Miss Mad Scientist', BUT--" "'HOW DO YOU EXPECT US TO GET TO THE DAMN PLACE?!!! ...right?" Ryoko was blown back on her postereur shaking as Washu had beat her to her own outburst. Ryoko waved a little white flag, "Ok I give..." "Thank you. Now anyway, I was thinking, why don't we go in style today? I was thinking we could go in this..." She pressed a button on her trans-dimensional laptop that nobody noticed she already had out before, and a trans-dimensional flash took place. Out of the light a large spaceship hovered overhead, shiny, and gleaming silver in the sunlight. It was sleek from front to end and looked like a larger than life size futuristic bullet, or a teardrop, at least as big as the house. A barely audible humming sound emanated from the ship as it hovered overhead easily and effortlessly. "Cool..." Mihoshi and Sasami mouthed in sync. "But then I remembered we were on Earth." The ship disappeared in the same manner as it appeared. Mihoshi 'aww'ed. EDIT SPOT!!!!2 "So I'm thinking this should be more ...ahem... 'Down to Earth'." She once more pressed a button, this time the flash was just behind her, and much smaller. Everyone shielded their eyes from the sight this time, the light being so close to them. Once the light died down the red gleam of shining metal caught everyone's eyes and once more they were caught speechless. This time, a cherry red, SuperStock Dodge with the top down sat in front of everyone's sights. It looked just like it just came of the assembly, the shining engine exhaust sitting on the front hood yearning to be reved up. The sparkling black stick-shift ready and waiting to be used. And the sparkling rims, that looked made this car look as if it was much too good to be driving to a simple outing. Many car buffs would be satisfied at simply staring this piece of splendid artwork all day long. But Washu didn't bring it here just to stare at, which her audience seemed quite comtempt at doing this moment. The only difference this car was from the others on Earth was the enhancements she added into this vehicle, one of them being high-tech super powered, Only-Made-By-Washu Hyper Plutonium Engine and addable-or-subtractable seats for extra riders. "Well, what do you think?" Washu asked cheerfully. A brief moment more of silence passed through until Mihoshi and Sasami cheered simultanously. "Wow! What a nice car!!" Tenchi laughed on, with a nervous sweatdrop sliding down his face and looked over at his dad, who was staring off at the car like he'd been hypnotized. "...Th...that is... a nice car there... Ms Washu..." He finally stammered out, teary eyed. Never would he had thought he would be near such a masterpiece, that is without shelling out some major bucks that he doesn't have, or selling his son into slavery. Still, in the back of his head he hoped that his old van was okay... His train of thought was broke off as the redhead scientist made a quick twirl around, the end result was Washu in her adult form, wearing a pair of dark shades over her eyes and an evil grin. "Well? This thing isn't just sitting around to be gawked at!" And with that, vaulted over into the driver's side and started the engine. Engine roared as she reved up a couple of times, then purred softly as a cat afterwards. "I call the front!" Sasami shouted with Ryo-Ohki now atop her head and jumped into the front seat looking about the high tech computer and sound system Washu installed into the dashboard. Nobiyuki walked over and checked over the out the front dashboard as well and was in awe. "Climb in Nobiyuki, room for one more!" Washu said. Sasami nodded and Nobkuyi climbed into the front seat spot as well. "Well I guess we might as well get in huh?" Tenchi said to the remianing four girls. Mihoshi nodded while Ryoko and Ayeka had to stop making annoying faces at eachother in order to do the same. Tenchi sweatdropped and headed for the backdoor and got in, scooting over still staring at the car's exterior, followed by would-be Mihoshi, but Ayeka was able to slip past her just fast enough to take her seat beside her prince. Ryoko not to let Ayeka get the advantage, materialized on Tenchi's otherside, glomped onto him, while Mihoshi all the same took her seat beside Ayeka and shut the door tight. Tenchi decided today to take it all in stride for now since they weren't acting as bad as they usually would, besides it's not like he had a place to run anyway, and furthermore, it's been such a nice day and all, no use ruining that by nagging at them. Today was going to be day of fun, and rules usually don't apply in that area. "Ohh, Miss Washu, where's Minagi?" Sasami asked. "Ohh don't worry, she said she'd meet up with us at the party!" She answered with a smile. "And now the seatbelts," Washu hummed pressing yet another button. Comfy and resistant belts formed around everyone's waist. Miss Washu's grin bacame even more maniacal then ever as she once more reved up the powerful engine, and turned on the sound system. Rob Zombie 'Dragula' blasted in their ears. "Ok then, WE'RE OUT OF HERE!" She yelled as they backed out the lot, mashed down on the pedal, and took off down the road with the sound of a thundering engine, screeching tires, and shouts of terror and excitement whistling through the winds. ------- Meanwhile in Tokyo, the Sailor Senshi, in the civilian clothes, and their two Guardian cats, all sat at the their usual spot at the shrine on Cherry Hill, waiting. "Usagi... why didn't you just tell Mamo when you talked to him?!" Rei spoke, with slight aggravation. Usagi really didn't want to break off her date with Mamorou today so she called him and the others and told him to come to her house to talk on it; then remembered that her father was home, and called him back and told him to meet heart the shrine instead. "Well I was thinking we could work something out maybe..." she got alittle quieter and started to twiddle her thumbs and mouthed in a barely audible voice, "...Something ...that would let us still be able to go out on our date..." "USAGI! How selfish can you possibly be?!" Luna piped in. "Really, I thought you had grown out of this..." "I know ok?! It's just that... I rarely get time to actually spend with Mamo and all... just foolish hope mostly..." She trailed off with a sigh. As she listened to herself she admitted. It was selfish. She sighed and mentally prepared herself for today's adventure. "Alright I'm--" "I say go for your date girlfriend!" Makoto piped, standing up from her spot beside the shrine and cutting off Usagi's sentence, "We'll kick that pink spongy mess into a pile of mush for ya!" A spot of hope crept into the pigtail blonde's eye as she blinked, but shook her head in decline, "...Thanks Makoto...but that's ok... I'm going with you guys. I have a duty to uphold..." "Oh Usagi," Minako said waving a finger, "I think we can handle one simple mission like this on our own! It's just one simple youma, right Rei?" Nobody had truly noticed until now how the Shinto Priestess was staring at the ground as she sat from the same spot as the others were on the shrine, eyes wavering with ...worry? Maybe even confusion. She barely made any true movement, like she was almost dead or something. Her hands shuddered from moment to moment as they were clasped tightly on the post of the shrine she was sitting on, digging her nails into the wood. Unknown to them, how deeply she was lost in thought. She had to think of a way, a way to stop whatever that was she saw in her premonitions. It was so powerful... but there had to be a way to defeat it. They'd been through too much to be stopped by this. But... it's power... imfathable. No, all things have a weakness. Be it big or small. We WILL find a way to defeat it. We WILL. We HAVE TO... We have NO CHOICE. No CHOICE. No-- "BOOOO!!!" Rei's shriek could be heard across the whole shrine, if not beyond. The giggling of three out of four of her spookers giggled afterwards, Usagi not being one of them, for she was too busy rubbing her nose where the Priestess had smashed her open palm on her in reflex to their joke. "An' what whas' that 'phor?" Usagi mumbled out through her glaring, with tears streaming down her face. "Well you shouldn't have stuck your face so far out like that!" Rei answered, "You were just asking for that I'd say." "I waaaaasssss juuusssttt playyyyiinnnggg!!" Usagi whined as her bawling turned up a notch, streams of Niagra now wetting the ground of the shrine. Luna sighed. "...Some things never change." She then to a look at her white coated feline partner, who should've listening to what was going on, but was instead snoring soundly close by her, and groaned. Even more proof of the said point. Reaching back with one paw, claws extended, Luna yelled out at him, "WAKE UP LAZY BONES!!" And promptly imbedded the said paw into his lower anatomy. Artemis shrieked a moment later as her paw connected with it's target, making him involuntarily leap off the shrine perch. The sudden stop that came from his fall caught him by surprise giving him quite a startling shock when his chin met the unyielding concrete. Luna couldn't hold back the bubbling laughter that was threatening to burst from her lungs any longer, and bellowed out chuckling at groaning white cat. The other five scouts on the otherhand were able to hold the laughter in by pinching their noses and biting their lower lips. "...Did I ever tell you how much I hate you sometimes?" Artemis said after finally peeling his jaw from the ground and gathering his bearings. Luna hmphed. "Well try to stay AWAKE during a meeting for once!" The black cat replied mockingly waggling her tail at him in a high and mighty fashion. Artemis finally gave in to his anger and jumped back on the shrine after his partner, but Luna jumped off the perch laughing again as he just made it up where she was once at, but jumped back down and took off after her as she took off towards the decending steps of the Cherry Hill Shrine. Both disappeared down those steps, with Luna's laughing and Artemis' frantic name calling still easily heard. 5 five girls still sitting on the shrine sighed shaking their heads. Ami surprisingly spoke out the words they were all thinking. "Those two are inseparable." The others couldn't help but agree. Minako blinked though as she noticed an emerging shadow coming up the shrine steps. It took her less than a moment though to realize who it was. " And the 'cop de vuce has arrived!" Minako said pointing over to the steps. All five of them, even Minako, had to take a moment to think about that statement. It should've been 'Coup de grace ... but on the otherhand... ahh, heck with it. Her sentence was just plain confusing all together. Meanwhile Usagi as already up and rushing over to her love as Mamorou finished ascending the steps and came into full view of everyone's sights. Mamorou was glad that he was cleared a few feet from the steps as Usagi slammed into him and pushed him back atleast a foot. "Helllooo Maaammmooo!!" Usagi singed in his ear as she snuggled into his shoulder. Mamorou just chuckled at her purring as she then shifted holds and glomped onto his shoulder. They walked over to the rest of the group. Everyone gave out a greeting to the new arrival waving and such as the two made their way over. Usagi was slowly daydreaming the time away, when she caught ear of the sudden total silence. She opened her eyes to find that everyone was staring at her in an incredulous manner. Mamorou seemed to be as well, but was simply following the stares of the others. Usagi blinked a few times before finally asking, "...What?" The others simply sighed at the scene. "Usagi, you two just go and have fun!" Makoto cheered from where she was sitting. "H-hey but wait! What about the--" "WE GOT IT COVERED!" The four girls shouted from the spots. The couple acked, jumping back involuntarily. Usagi blinked again for a couple of moments, "Oh yea that...but, are you sure... about this? I wasn't ever serious about leaving you guys with the problem like that..." All four of the girls crossed their arms and gave Usagi a look that would make most any foe stop dead in their tracks. "A heh... hehheh..... heh..." Usagi sweatdropped nervously as she turned back to Mamo, who wore a clear expression that showed how clueless he was of the current situation. "Well...ok... Mamorou... you see...we have a problem, a youma popped up a few days ago, so we're going to take care of it but the gang doesn't want us to cancel because of it... but I'malittleconfusedas whattodointhiscurrentsituation!" Usagi smiled alittle cheesily showing her teeth to Mamorou after she finished explaining. Everyone else just sweatdropped at the blond, still trying to decipher what she said in the last part of her sentence. "WHAT USAGI MEANS," Rei said aloud, "Is that a possible youma showed up yesterday and we're going to investigate it today, but that doesn't mean your date needs be canceled. We can handle this ourselves." "Ahh," Mamo looked down at Usagi who confirmed Raye's words with a nod. He had a feeling something happened with the SailorSenshi that past week, due to the bond between himself and Usagi. "I don't know... this seems important... you guys might need help... and maybe we could go on our date afterwards..." Makoto was just waiting for that statement to pop up. "Look Mamo, we got this covered! We'll take care of this putty punk ourselves, no sweat!" Her voice took a turn of a higher level of seriousness, "We're NOT going to turn into those superheroes in the comics who's life are ruled by battles and such. There's up to 6 of us alltogether. Two shouldn't make a difference. You two have been waiting all week for this moment, and then some putty-faced marshmallow shows up and you cancel all your great plans? What type of friends would any of us be if we let something like that pass?" She finished, pointing to herself and then looking at the others for their confirming responses. The other three answered with a 'Yeah' and a nod. It wasn't too visible on the outside, but in inside, Makoto was looking forward to meeting that thing again. One, she had the chance of once more meeting 'World Savior' for a second time. Plus, on the contrary, she was grateful for the freetime from the Dark Kingdom, but the excitement that came from their battles against them practically became a part of life for her. And the same could probably be said for the others. Besides, she'd been itchy for some action. Mamorou eyed them all, then gave a quick glance over to 'the blond ornament' that was still latched onto his arm looking at him in the face questionably, and exhaled a thoughtful sigh. He sternly turned his look towards Usagi. "...It's up to you Usagi. Though, you can guess my feeling on the situation... " Usagi glanced over to each of her friends as they gazed back at her. Makato grinned imtimidatingly, cracking her knuckles loudly. Ami looked alittle uncomfortable returning the gaze that came upon her, but managed to give a confirming smile. Minako leaned against the pole as she sat on the side of the wooden perch of the shrine by the bell. And Raye... she stared back at the moon princess sternly; her look sincere, but strong and focused. Usagi looked on at her... and finally made her decision. "Let's go Endymion." Mamorou blinked, confused. "...Wh-what?" He asked, perplexed. They were going WHERE? "Yep, we're going with them of course! Leaving them to go have fun while this is going on I... I just can't do that! I'M SAILOR MOON!" She finished, giving a thump to her chest with her fist as a saluting captain would. And a moment before the ambush of retorts could start from the four senshi, she then waved her index finger, "BUT, maybe we don't have to miss out on the WHOLE day! We trash this monster fast as possible, THEN we all go have fun!" She smiled, alittle triumphantly. Mamorou nodded agreeing with her comment, and looked off into the sky. He closed his eyes and groaned again. Though he was with Usagi 100%, he really regretted buying those tickets a week early. Where they were planned to go was in the next town over, about a 3 hour drive from where they were now. And after battling this monster today, they may be too tired to head out anywhere afterwards. And that would mean that he spent 50-dollars a piece on those tickets he for nothing... "Hmm... soooo, Mamo, where were you planning to take me to anyway?" Usagi asked curiously, once again glomped to his shoulder, though this time it was much lighter and didn't stop the blood from circulating. Hearing that question, the other four girls slowly inched over, their feminine side taking over, wanting to know themselves. Usagi was bragging about that all week and it was finally time for some closure on this subject. Mamorou sweatdropped nervously. He was trying to decide if he should tell her; she'd probably feel terrible about missing out on THIS. "Weeeeeelllllllllllllll?" Minako chimed in, all the senshi gazing at him so hard, he sub-consciously ran a finger over his chest, to make sure there were no searing holes burned into it. Sighing, Mamorou began to figet inside his inner coat pocket, "Well, I have these tickets to a big celebration... it's a city over however..." Finally he pulled out two small rectangular pieces of paper and showed them to Usagi. Usagi took a good look at them about three good seconds before slapping her forehead and walking away sulking. Mamorou blinked alittle nervously at her while the others piled around him to see what was so shocking. After looking at the tickets, they also followed Usagi's example, holding their foreheads. Mamorou scratched his head as a large sweatdrop made it's way down the side of his face and took a look at the tickets as well to see what was the problem. Nothing he saw wrong on them, besides the high price he paid for them. From what he heard, EVERYBODY was trying to go to this festival. "What? What is it?" He asked, the feeling of non-comfort washing over him like a tidal wave. "Mamo," Usagi said with a chuckling sigh, as she gave him a light hug. "We'll tell you about all about, during the ride to the celebration party." "Wait, I thought we agreed... but... that must mean... OH GREAT." ---------- The engine of a shiny motorbike roared as it sped through the highways with two occupants on it's seat. The driver of the bike wore an open green helmet atop his head with no visor. He enjoyed the open wind in his face and frankly, he really didn't need a helmet. He also had on a comfortable large black short sleeved shirt with the word 'Goten' padded vertical across the left side in neon green and loose fit blue jeans and black and white high tops. A girl with long brown hair and a red helmet with a blue visor sat behind him, with her hands wrapped tightly around the boy's stomach and her said hair flapping idly in the wind. She had on a bright yellow skirt with a matching vest and white T shirt underneath, (Which commented her nice bustsize just fine, one of the reasons he liked riding was when she was with him, feeling her bosom squeezed on his back was a nice added benefit) and low cut caramel boots. Her head was leaned slightly to the side as to see what's in front of her and enjoy the sights as they whizzed by. And whiz by they did. Paris hated how Goten drove sometimes. She was sure they were riding around 60, 70 or maybe 80mph about now. But somehow, she always felt safe when she was with him. They'd always been friends in high school, around the 11th grade year but not anymore than that till now. And both gradually became quite serious about there relationship. He'd dated a lot of the girls around school, but none of them worked out well. One screwup and he'd be sidelined once more. Or they'd find someone else, say, like the brawny quarterback of the high school football team, named Junto Kasuya. But that was in the past. That guy to her (and half of the of the others in school) was a complete dipstick most of the time. She never dated him, nor did she ever actually want to. He was cute, but looks aren't everything. Besides, Goten had such a cute simple attitude at times... "Ack! Red Light!" Goten yelled out as he slowly pumped the brakes to a fast yet smooth halt. Paris hugged him even tighter as he did so as not to fall off, but Goten was firm and in place on the bike like always. She was always quite impressed by the upper body strength he seemed to possess, but on the otherhand since the time she saw his rigid stomach it made sense. Goten fumed. "Come on... change already!" He shouted aloud gripping the handles to the bike almost nervously, "At this rate Trunks will be there long before me..." "Calm down Goten," Paris said over his shoulder, "We'll be there soon enough. Why do you want to get there before Trunks anyway?" He shrugged. "A little bet we made yesterday. Nothing much I guess, but I wanna shut his ego up atleast this once." He sighed. Just cause he's so far defeated him at every Tekeiichi Budokai the fool's ego has been flaring on and off. He wasn't too bad though. But the girls that have been flocking about him didn't help matters much. "Green light Goten!" Paris shouted into his ear. Goten 'oh'ed cheerfully before they sped off once more down the street. He grinned. He could see a gigantic billboard with Mr Satan's face plastered across it just ahead. Goten grinned and sped up little as he made the rest of the way towards the park. Finally, after an extra few minutes they were there after the long yet enjoyable ride. I think I actually won this one, Goten thought to himself as they searched for a vacant parking space. That thought was soon crushed as he turned his head to the right and saw his best friend and a few friends he knew from school (two of which were girls and one boy) and brought with him and waving at him standing beside the car they'd came in and the vacant parking space that was waiting just for him. Giving a big sigh he drove his bike over and parked into the space grumbling. "What took you so long?" Trunks asked jokingly as he moved over to the new arrivals as they dismounted their vehicle and shut off the engine. Goten glared at him. Trunks wore a white short sleeved shirt with navy blue shorts that reached to just alittle under his knees. "How could you have possibly got here earlier than I did? You had to pick up those three!" He said, pointing at the others. One, named Melanie, was a cute light skinned blonde with a nice smile on her, with hair that reached halfway down her back which was tied in a slim ponytail, wearing a pink and white striped holster top and short jeans. She was currently glomped onto Trunks' arm smiling at the two arrivals. "Hey girlfriend!" She said to Paris giggling. Paris returned the greeting as they clasped hands (meaning she had to finally unlatch from Trunks) and started their own conversation moving over to Trunks' car for alittle privacy. The other girl, Karyn, who was soon dragged into Paris and Melanie's conversation, had short wavy green hair and strangely matching emerald eyes. She wore a short sleeved button up blouse and light blue pants with a pair of sneakers. "Yeah I know," Trunks said scratching his hair, "but I flew the car here instead of drive--" "Hey! You know that was cheating!" Goten shouted at him. "Well you know how far they live! I wouldn't have gotten here just NOW if I had drived. Besides, that means the bet was forfeit for me!" Trunks answered nodding at his friend. Goten was relieved and even alittle surprised as his friend verbally concceded defeat. Though he had his own money, Trunks had much more since his parents were rich. Capsule Corporation seemed to be an infinite cashcow for the Briefs family. "So, you got the tickets, right?" the other boy who came with Trunks asked the two. Keiya, had solid blue colored hair, which hung lightly and came down only to his neck. He wore a long sleeved matching blue shirt and comfortable white jeans with matching white hightops. "Don't sweat it," Trunks said casually, reaching into his left pants' pocket, "They're right here..." He now alternated and began digging into his other pocket. When he stopped and pulled his hands out with no tickets in them, they got worried. "...Uh oh...." Trunks frowned as he thought on, "I think I forgot them..." "Greeaaaattt..." Goten and Keiya toned together, sweatdropping. "Ahh, don't worry, you forget who I am!" He said, pointing at himself with a thumb, "Trunks Briefs of Capsule Corporation! We should be able to get in on me alone at the sound of my name!" Goten balked. "Trunks...YOUR EGO IS UNBEARABLE!!" Trunks chuckled and started scratching the back of his neck nervously. "Well anyway, it's our best chance next to going back for the tickets..." "Just fly home and grab them then," Goten said casually. Trunks nodded and began to levitate off the ground. "USING YOUR CAR!" Goten finished. Trunks stumbled and almost fell down but fortunately kept his balance. Keiya snickered at Goten's outburst. Those three of Goten and Trunks' friends knew about Trunks and Goten's ability to fly since the the last year Budoukai, and asked for them many a time to show them how, but they could never do it. "It'll be faster this Goten! All I do is zip off back home, grab the tickets, and come back, no problem. The car would just slow me down." "Well yea, I guess your right," Goten said after a moment of thought. "But be careful no one sees you, you know how our mothers hate that," He finished cheerfully. "See ME?" Trunks said, swinging his arms back and forth loosening them then moving into a small crouch, "I'm already gone." Flashing a grin, Trunks shot into the air with the howl of the winds. ---- It was a tight fit squeezing the 5 girls, himself, and two guardian cats into his own car, but somehow he managed to do it. Mamorou, Usagi, and company were heading towards Satan City. Mamorou was of course at the dirver's side of his shiny red sports car, with Usagi next to him on the passenger's side, sharing her seat with Luna, humming to a song on the radio and watching the road go by. She glanced at Mamo and sighed alittle nervously as he seemed to groan at that exact moment. He'd been riding with that same frown since they got in the car. Of course, who'd be happy about wasting a hundred dollars on tickets for our date the same place where the senshi would be appearing. College students had NO money to be wasting, and boy, did those tickets cost ALOT. The four others were cramped together in the back. Ami was reading a book she brung along, Minako sat back in the chair half asleep with Artemis in her lap, and Makoto stared boredly out of side window she was at. Meanwhile, Rei sat up from her spot in her cramped seat in the back. "Usagi, you going to change the station on that radio?" "Oh, how come?" "Cause if I hear that annoying song one more time I'll kill myself!!" "Hey, I happen to like this song!" Usagi retorted. Whatever that seemed to be bothering Rei earlier obviously wasn't bothering her now, she surmised. Luna groaned. She wasn't too far in her estimates of how long it would take before they started another argument. "Yeah, sure, I used to too, but they play it TOO much now! I bet you anything it's probably on another station at this moment as well!" The two soon blasted into a full fledge argument/conversation. In truth to them it made the ride alittle more entertaining, but Makoto groaned. "...Just when I thought this would be a simple, peaceful, cramped up drive..." She glanced over to see that Ami was well entranced into her book, and Minako was still asleep, meaning nobody probably heard her. With another grunt she leaned back in her chair and decided to follow Minako's lead, trying to drift off as well, but the constant bickering between the duo kept her from achieving her goal. Mamorou only hoped and prayed this wouldn't go for the WHOLE ride there, and considered asking Minako for the earplugs he saw her put in her ears when they first got in the car. Obviously she had planned for this and if not, she was still lucky she had them. He did some quick math and came up that they had some under 2 hours until they arrived at their destination... Usagi was now arguing over the various stations that she was flipping through with Raye. Taking a good look at this scene, you wouldn't think those two were Sailor Senshi, and that there was a fight going down today that involved them all. ---- Meanwhile at the destination, around 3 hours later... "It was a great idea for you us to come here Juuhachigou!" A short, mop topped man said laughing to the taller blonde which walked beside him as they ventured through large but crowded area. The blonde looked around alittle uncaringly of her surroundings with her arms crossed. "Yeah, sure is," She answered back as they continued their walk through the place, looking for something entertaining, or MrSatan. "I'm surprised you were able to get tickets for this you know! ... you SURE you didn't push around MrSatan so we could come?" The man by the name of Krillin asked. He wore a pair of off caramel draw string jogging pants and an overall black shirt with the word "OW!" on the front a colorful comic-like explosion bubble. "For the 50th time, NO, I didn't..." His wife retorted with a sigh, despite the emphasis, with a still nearly emotionless, but more like distracted expression as she continued her scan of the park and surroundings. Krillin recovered from his initial cringe from her response while she made an idle note that their daughter had long ago made a separation from them, probably to find Goten and Trunks, her school buddies. Once more she thought about what type of children they'd have if she married one of them. So far it was either one of pure idiocy, or one 100% pretty boy, or girl. She didn't think on this subject much, infact very rarely when she was bored, but it somehow crept back into her mind again. It WAS possible though. Goten and Trunks were her best friends so it was understandable. But she decided it was best NOT to think about it, and pushed it out of mind once more. And focused on more important things. Like finding MrSatan. And 'commissioning' out more of the money he owes to her. She was sure he's making a cool mint from this; with the tickets for that price, and how many people she's bumping into right now (Which are staring at her bi-cariously) he may have the rest the money this day. Problem is... she's 'forgotten' the amount in which he owes. Oh well... things happen. Now if I could just find the dolt, she thought to herself. Hmm, where Satan goes, Buu is sure not to be too far behind... "Let's find the food court," She told Krillin as she changed direction for her new destination. Krillin was all too happy to follow since he was hungry and didn't know the true meaning of her plan. And speaking of which...Juuhachigou wasn't the only one wanting to see MrSatan... ------ "....Can we PLEASE kill MrSatan?" A young man, (atleast which is what you'd think from first look, you'd never think the guy was in the range of being 30 years old) walked through the big celebration grounds as well. With his wife; a woman who was close to his age, but from the look of her it was obvious she kept good care of herself during the years. And beside the two of them, a small child. A living ball of energy, walked alongside them at the moment, before jumping and grapling onto her father's neck to get a better view of the scenery. Her father, Gohan, wore a white short sleeved shirt, a pair of glasses (Like this guy really needed them, but they made him look more cultured) and blue jeans, as did his wife, Videl, execpt for no glasses but she instead had a small decorative gold locket around her neck as well. Their daughter, Pan, instead wore black jeans which fit her loosely yet perfectly, and a red short sleeved shirt. The one thing they all wore of the same the three was the strange yet fashionable white watch on each of their wrists. "For the 100th time, NO Gohan, we can't kill my father." Pan chuckled as Gohan groaned then, "O.k., can 'I' PLEASE kill father-in-law?" He asked again, with joking tone of voice. Pan outright laughed this time hanging backwards and holding onto her father's hair now for balance while Videl glared daggers at her husband. "GOHAN, what dad asked of us isn't too bad," She answered him. Gohan blinked. "....He... asked us?" He said blinking and staring up at the sky faking thought. Videl sighed. "Ok, ok, I get your point Gohan, but look on the bright side, we weren't planning today, and it'll be fun! Bringing back the Great Saiyaman team!" She then smirked and looked up at bundle of energy sitting atop his shoulders, "Plus one extra, right Pan?" "RIGHT!" Little Pan shouted, pointing to the sky triumphantily, "Great Saiyamaaaaaaaannn, 3!!!" This got the attention of the large crowd around them, who stared at them for a few moments before chuckling at the child and going back to their business. Gohan and Videl sighed in relief from all the sudden emotional pressure that was dropped on them, and continued on. And how strange that a similar couple with a child, not too far away, would be making there trek across this large mega carnival Well... ------ "So... tell me ONE MORE TIME... why am 'I' here?" The woman who walked from across from the male owner of the said statement sighed grumbling. She knew that he was simply doing this to annoy her... and despite knowing that, he was succeeding. "Vegeta, you ARE NOT spending all day in the blasted gravroom today! Ohhhhhh no, your getting out and breathing some fresh air for once!" The woman answered as she held the hand of their 5 year old daughter and ventured about the second half of the game section, the little girl looking about at all the various games and prizes, and carrying a impressive and sizeable bag of goodies that had been won for her. She wore pair cute pink sundress on her with small ruffles. Her parents were very differently dressed however. As the spiky haired husband of the family wore a sky blue short sleeved shirt with a white brand named marking on the front and back that seemed reminiscent to a Nike symbol, and blue loose fit jeans. Topped off with his usual white, gold tipped boots of course. Meanwhile the 'wife' wore a simple green unruffled one piece dress, a pair of high tops, and black leotards for the legs. "Hmph... stupid waste of time me being here I say," The saiyan gruffed as he looked about the place. Their daughter Bra kept dragging him to and about, winning little prizes and such from the games outside. Dunk the Clown. Ring Toss. That strongman contest, which was the only one he rightfully lost, since the platform he hit broke from the force of his one handed swing with the 50lbs hammer. Twice. Still, they gave them the prize, but after seeing that unimpressive game which was SUPPOSED to test his strength, it, once more in a long time, reaffirmed his ideal that the humans on the planet would have been long destroyed if it wasn't for the handful of saiyans that lived there. He suddenly noticed that he was hearing an obnoxious sound once more. His mate had started yapping again sometime ago during his train of thought. "So atleast TRY to have a good to have a good time today? And don't ruin Bra's." Speaking of which their little daughter had just spotted the next thing she wanted. It was abit clich‚d, but... "Papa! Win me that!" Bra yelled, pulling at her father's pant's leg, pointing at the giant 2 story tall teddy bear that sat beside another yet another game booth nearby. The would-be Prince, even King, of the saiyans looked down at the bundle of energy, which was now once more giving him her lately overused 'Puppy Dog Eyes' look, which had absolutely NO effect on him as he gazed at her. Yeah, right. As they approached the line for the large gamestand Vegeta gave a quick once over of what the pathetic game would be this time. Hmm... The game once more seemed simple, there were five loops lined up and a target behind the last one to hit. Each loop was spread about 4 foot inbetween eachother and it was obvious only a person with a strong arm and really good aim had any chance of winning. Vegeta sighed as he looked on with his arms folded across his chest. It to him looked SOOO easy. Simply aim, throw and hit the target. But from the disappointed faces of the people who were leaving the game unsuccessful, it wasn't. Atleast to them. Still there was quite a few people in line infront of him still, but was diminishing rapidly as everyone was losing at a fast rate. Most all of the people in line were trying their hopes in winning the gravely oversized teddy. For a girlfriend, for themselves, or for a family relative. Didn't matter cause none had succeeded yet in winning the stuffed bear. In a matter of minutes as the line continued to shrink with nobody winning the bear as of yet, the family of three soon found themselves standing at the desk of the two people which were running the game. Both wore a couple of T-Shirts with blue jeans, though the designs on the shirts were different, as the female had a design of MegaManX on the front, while the male had a black shirt with the outline of Squall Leonhart on the front, with the Final Fantasy 8 logo on the back. Both had shiny (almost gleaming) long brown hair, which was slightly stood up on the top of their heads, but hung gently, but equally loose and frizzled down to their upper backs. It's a good possibility that they were brother and sister. Meanwhile, the two game runners were measuring up their new contestant. The simple expression he wore on his face, the noticeable muscle tone of the man, and his questionable hairstyle told them three things: 1: I'm VERY cocky. 2: Do not FUCK with me. And 3: No, I don't know what a brush is. Where your regular shifty person might not try anything with this type of person, as not to be caught, these two saw it as a good challenge, to break this person's ego in two. "A new contestant?" Said the female, "Well try your skill! You look strong enough to win this big plushie sitting over here! Want to win it for your lady friend? Or maybe your little daughter there?" She said, pointing idly to the little child with them. Vegeta simply gave the bubbly woman a curious look. "...So how much?" The wild haired man asked bluntly, seeming unaffected by the ramblings of the brunette. "Just 4 dollars," Answered the male this time, with an almost exact bubbly attitude. They definitely were twins or something, he thought to himself. He pulled 4 dollars out his pocket and placed it on the counter before them with a 'slap'. The female took the money while at the same time giving him three white perfectly rounded balls. They had a good weight to it, but were nothing in his hands. He pivoted just slightly, as to give himself the adequate aim of the target. Throwing it up once, he then caught, and gave a careless throw towards the target behind the rings in front of it. The ball flew easily through the first three, before clanging on the forth, and descending towards the ground, very much missing the smallest last hoop. Vegeta blinked. He put enough force on that, he was sure, to fly straighter than an arrow, fly through the loops, and hit the target dead on with some force to spare. But it didn't. The game runners bit the inside of their lips as not to laugh out laugh at the man as he picked up another ball with a slight disapproving scowl. What a fool... The former saiyan prince clutched his next ball as he took a moment to look over the area. Particularly at the two who owned the game. They simply stood, waiting for his next attempt. He decided to give the another simple throw, only that now he was now giving the game some actual attention. He threw once more. The game owners snickered inwardly. That first throw though gave them a slight surprise. It was set that the ball wouldn't make to the fourth loop. They decided that this time, he would once more hit the fourth loop, and on the last one, well, they'd just make him fail pitifully. Once he lost, he'd probably be so frustrated he'd stand in line to, pay another 4 bucks, and pitch again. And just as planned, the ball once more clonked against the fourth loop before taking it's faltering dive towards the ground. Bulma stared on in disbelief for a moment before looking over towards Vegeta. Vegeta simply looked on towards the game. Whatever doubts the saiyan prince had about this game was were completely gone now. He smirked just slightly. The game was quite obviously crooked. He kept a straight face as he looked on at the game before him, and took a couple looks through the side of his eye at the game operators. They were probably snickering their stupid heads off. But he would soon be the one with something to laugh about. He picked up the last of the three spheres and threw it up and down a couple of times in his open palm as he looked on at his target, which was the metal bullseye circle behind the 5 rings. He could feel little Bra's tugging on one of his pants' legs. People looked on at Vegeta with a moment of curiousity, mostly waiting for him to make his final throw, so they'd be one step closer to their chance for the prize. Simply cocking his hand back with the ball in it, Vegeta swung his arm forward, releasing the ball towards it's target. Nobody saw it fly. But they sure heard the loud 'DONG,' the breaking of various metals, and circuits fizzling inside the machine which held the bullseye. The game operators gawked, then scowled, while the rest of the onlookers and people in line stared on in wild curiousity. Daughter and wife cheered their spiky haired father. And Vegeta couldn't help but grin at his handy work. Giving a 'hmph', he simply walked over to his prize. Something the size of what this gigantic stuffed teddy bear gave the impression that it had to be atleast around a couple of tons maybe, to the least maybe 700 pounds. But that was put to test as the short stalky man simply picked it up and walked it back over to his family. Bra once more attached herself to her father's leg giggling and still cheering him, while Bulma fished though her purse. People still stared in awe at the winners. "Let me get out a capsule, no need lugging that big heavy thing everywhere," She told him. He scoffed. "Heavy? This? ...Right..." Pressing the capsule top, she threw it towards the bear, which disappeared in a puff of smoke, only leaving the capsule which was hurled at it. With a laugh, Bra ran over and picked up the capsule triumphantly. "Thank you daddy!!" She said in a sugary lisp. Vegeta simply shrugged. "Awwww, what a nice thing to do Mr BadMan," Bulma cooed, hugging him and calling him one of her own personal pet names. "And here I thought for a second you were loosing your edge!" "Well I think we're spoiling her rotten...wait, ME? LOOSING MY EDGE? HA! I don't think so..." He finished with a scowling smirk. The small family of three soon ventured away from the game to find something to eat. Meanwhile back at the game, the two game owners gritted their teeth as they scanned the damage to their machines. A broken steel loop, the bullseye was dented in about three inches, the marble ball which was thrown was busted in three big and smaller pieces, and the metal joint inside the machine that held the bullseye was jammed in good, possibly a whole foot and a half. The male picked the ball halves examining them and giving a look over to her partner. He half smiled and gave a silent nod. Meanwhile the next contestants in line talked among themselves. Just great! That guy had to win it! And just when Mamorou was up next... darn! I wanted that!" Usagi fumed to herself as she and Mamorou walked from the deforming line that was once at the now broken carnival game to rejoin her friends. Luna was draped lazily over her shoulder with a small sweatdrop as she tried to tune out the pigtialed one's ranting. "So what happened over there?" Raye asked. "Some spiky haired guy broke the game to win the prize or something I think, it happened kinda fast..." "The game was crooked," Mamorou simply stated. The others turned their heads to look at Mamo with sudden interest. Only Ami and Raye in the group did not seem too surprised at this. "I thought those two carnies look abit shifty," Raye muttered aloud, taking another look at the two in question. The two were glaring at their broken machinery. Ami nodded. "I think their was something the guy was messing with underneath his counter during the contest, and they could easily control one's pitch by inserting a magnet inside the ball or the loops!" Meanwhile a book of child-drawn pictures popped up in the senshi's minds, each depicting the game's riggings, including a Super-Deformed Tuxedo Mask who was trying his hand at the contest and failing miserably. With a faltering frown, a sweatdrop, and a shake of his head, the group came back to reality. "So what happened there anyway?" Amy asked the moment afterwards. "Well, the guy before us took his turn, he seemed like, he was going to lose but on the last ball he threw I think it broke the game with it; he threw it so fast it was like when his arm went down and then the bell sounded!" Usagi blinked, as she noticed all faces were curiously turning towards their Senshi of Fire, who was more or less staring off in the direction in which the winners of the broken carnival game and the giant plushie had disappeared in. Questionably, the group inched in on the distracted senshi member. "...Yell 'Boo' in my face again and you will ALL be licking the asphalt." The gathering audience slowly eased away from the maniacal glare of fire priestess. "We were just concerned Raye," Usagi said, wiping the large sweatdrop off her brow, "You zoned out on us again! Are you... feeling ok?" Raye simply turned back to face them, then flicked her thumb out, pointing at the direction she was just looking towards, "... There's something about that couple... the ones who just walked from the game..." "Besides the bug zapper hairdo the guy was wearing?" Makoto joked. Raye chuckled silently. "Well... besides that I mean... he has a weird... aura... I can't exactly... pinpoint what it's like... savage, yet calm... it's disturbing." Everyone was left in silence for a few moments from the explanation Raye gave them. Ami sighed, wishing she could somehow use her visor now. With it, she could see various things not seen to the naked eye, and even pick up readings and gives stats on their foe. But unfortunately, that was only available in Senshi Mercury mode. But ah! How could she forget about her handy mini-computer?! Quickly she pulled it out of her purse and began punching away. "Raye, what would you say about those two game operators as well?" Mamorou said, gestering behind him at the now closed carnival game they left sometime ago. The fire priestess looked over at the aformentioned game. For a long few moments, she stared on at the two game operators, who were now talking among themselves, leaning against the busted game. Raye squinted her eyes slightly, her brow furrowed, deep in thought. The others of the group inhaled slowly as she scanned them, coming closer to her answer. She gasped, inhaling sharply. The others took a step back from her, looking between the senshi of fire, and the two in which she was scanning. "Wh-what is it Raye?" Minako stammered, reading herself for what looks to be a possible prelude to battle. Raye seemed to snap out of trance at that exact moment. "...I'm right... they're just a couple of REALLY sleazy carnies." The sound of sizzling suddenly assaulted her ears. Confused, she turned around to the sound, and paled. The 5 of her friends were glaring back at her, faces so red, you would swear you could see steam coming from the top of their heads. "G...guys?! Umm... what did I do?" She mouthed out barely, stepping back from them before the thought of physical pain crossed their minds. They sighed as a group. "Nevermind Raye..." Usagi said. "Well, anyway," Raye started, "I think I sense the being we're looking for, but there are... quite a few strong powers here... maybe this whole thing is a set up." "That is very possible," Minako said out to nobody in particular. "Well then," Usagi spoke up, "I say we scout the carnival out! I say we split up into groups of," She mentally counted the faces before her and added herself, "2!" Ami blinked. "Umm, Usag-" "Ignore that scout pun thing." Usagi stated. Ami nodded with a innocent smile and left it at that. "Well anyway, I got dibs on--" "MAM-MO-ROU." They four girls said at once in singsong voices. Usagi sweatdropped. "Hey this'll be fun, huh Minako?" Makoto said, giving a small thumbs up, a poke with her elbow. Minako returned the smirk. The levelheaded of the group; Ami and Raye, sighed as they knew the exact same thought was traveling through those two minds. BOY HUNT! "Let's TRY to keep in mind why were here..." Raye said as she ran a hand through her long raven black hair. Minako and Makoto looked at eachother for a moment, and nodded. It was time again to teach these the senshis of fire and water about alittle something called; FUN. "I got Ami!" Makoto exclaimed. "Raye's MINE!" Minako shouted. Both quickly lunged out and clasped their respective and surprised partners before dragging them off in different directions, Artemis giving a big sigh and chasing after the Minako/Ami group. They were just too focused on having fun this day. For good reason on the contrary. All 6 of them just made it into a high priced carnival; possibly the biggest seen in years; without paying a thing. With alittle building hopping, they made it inside, but not totally unseen. But after reverting, nobody was the wiser of who they were more than more people who has come to have fun. "TRY to remember why we're here!" Mamorou yelled after the separating parties, and sighed, as they were probably out of range by the time he yelled it. "Well Usa-ko, where to n--" He smacked his forehead at what he now saw. She was sitting at a nearby outside table, just alittle from the outside foodcourt she obviously just visited, with an assortment of different foods; tacos, burgers, a small but incedibly stacked pizza, and more, scattered infront of her, in which she was now digging into with a vengence. "Hey Mamo-chan! Come take a bite before I eat it all!" Usagi called, as the food meanwhile seemed to almost disappear from the table it was once on. Well, Mamo thought, it's going to be a long day, might as well grab something to eat before Usa eats it all. And with that, he joined his lovely bottomless pit of a girlfriend. With a few moments of talking and eating, both finally got back to the mission at hand. ---- Blakablakablakablakablakblaka*click*blakablakablakablakablaka*click*blakablakablakablakablakablaka*click*... People stared awestruck around the two girls, one spiky haired cyan, and the other a practical opposite, a purple haired, long ponytailed female, reloaded and fire ablaze at the screen repeatedly, covering the screen with explosions of blood and dying zombies in their barrage. Both had their eyes squinted as they continued there attack, faces twisted in concentration, except for the one in awhile cracks they made at eachother in an attempt of strategic distractions, and trying to attract attention from their love interest, who was watching them play the shooting game alittle uneasily. "Lookie who's in the lead little princess!" Ryoko sang at Ayeka during a demo on the game, blowning on her gun like people do in movies, and giving a wink at Tenchi. Tenchi swallowed a touch nervously but rewarded her with a recognizing smile. Ayeka fumed. "Ha! Your only in the lead by a thousand points! I can make that up easily" Ayeka said as-a-matter-of-factly, arms crossed as she waited for the next scenario. So far it was something about needing to get on a boat to ride to the other side of some dock. The game had the plot of a B rated movie, with zombies flying at them left and right, but it somehow pulled it off clean and without a hitch. She didn't exactly know WHY she was playing such a gruesome game. She should've turned Ryoko down at her forced request of playing this game, but when that request changed into a challenge... "I should really focus on looking at only the screen, otherwise I might try to shoot you by mistake!" Ryoko said with a cheesy grin. Ayeka growled. "Ha! They look more related to YOU, a mummy!" "Hey do I look like your mother?!" Ryoko shouted back, obviously missing the real meaning of the said statement. Ayeka tried for a moment to figure what went wrong with her insult... "Um, you guys..." Tenchi said, pointing at the game screen. but the screams of a male and female couple being chased by a pair of axe-throwing zombies made a run across the screen. Both quickly turned back around, and in a blink the pair of virtual gunslingers commenced to filling the screen with shots once more. In the aftermath, Ryoko found she shot the male victim. "Can't they run faster or something..." Ryoko grumbled as the scene moved once more. "Ahem. Excuse me Ryoko, I've forgotten... WHO'S in the lead?" Ayeka asked, giving a triumphant smile to her adversary. The demoness countered with a toothy grin. Tenchi caught sight of this and took a step back. "Hooboy..." "Ayeka, this game has just begun." The retired space pirate clicked her gun, which reloaded full as a mixed horde zombies, ravenous birds, and vicious snakes made there towards them. Deciding one step was far from safe, the young prince inched himself out from the scenery. "Well is that so..." The Jurian Princess commented with a smirk on her lips, as she reloaded as well. Both turned their heads back to the large arcade screen and aimed. And once more, the screen was covered in a blaze of color and gore. Game veterans of the arcades who were crowed around the group of three rooted the two as they began again. ---- "They're pretty good...especially for girls!" Trunks commented from over the shoulder of a another viewer as he and Goten watched two females blast away at the giant arcade screen. Melanie sighed and crossed her arms. "Men, and the egos they nurture... and what's so surprising about a couple of girls with good marksmanship?" She asked, pointing her index finger around like it was a gun and aiming about with one closed eye. "Well nothing," Trunks responded, "But I do wander if you could do more than shoot your mouth off" Trunks said, grinning at his own joke. Melanie frowned and elbowed him in the ribs, but Trunks took it and chuckled at her attempt. Keiya just sighed and decided to find a game to play himself. ----- "Go *munch* Sasami! Your doing *chewchew* great!!" Mihoshi commented as she chewed on a few pieces of gum, which was just some of the things Sasami was winning from the crane game she was playing at the moment. Washu and Minagi, who joined up with the group after their arrival (Minagi got there first, and met up with the group at the gameroom) were crowded around her as she played. Washu chuckled. "Yup, these games are much better to play once the odds have been evened!" The redhead commented to Minagi as she watched Sasami continue to play. "But Washu... think you might've made it TOO easy?" Minagi asked, with a slight sweatdrop as she looked over at the big bagfulls of candy, plushies, and other prizes Sasami won so far. The machine only had a few prizes left inside to be collected Besides making the crane claw bigger, Washu's other idea of 'equality' was obviously infinite continues. Washu gave it a moment of thought. "Naaaaaah!" Washu shrugged, smiling mischievously. Minagi simply chuckled nervously and continued to watch Sasami play the game, Mihoshi cheering her on as she ate a few of the sweets the 8 year old collected thus far. ---- "This is so eerie... there's atleast MORE than half a dozen people in this area that have unusually high energies..." Ami said aloud as she stared into her compact computer curiously. Artemis was draped over her shoulder reading her calculations as well. A long piece of cloth was suddenly thrown over her head. She shuffled about trying to get it off, which it did easily. "Minako! What was that about?!" Both the blue haired girl and the white cat shouted. People looked towards them at that moment after hearing what they thought was a male voice inside the dress shop, but after seeing no male, simply took it that they were mistaken. Artemis decided to keep quiet and to his thoughts until they were atleast out of the store. If not longer out of embarresment. Wouldn't Luna LOVE to catch me in here... "I think you'd look GREAT in that, don't you?" She smiled as she took the cloth from Ami and opened it up for her to see. It was a silky white and purple long dress, with ruffles on the bottom. It looked fit for a princess. Considering that she was one anyway. "MINAKO... we're supposed to be--" "Keeping a lookout for anything weird going on of course, but we also gotta act normal too as not to attract attention to ourselves as well, AND it wouldn't hurt to let our eyes travel abit meanwhile! Now try it on! Go ahead!" "But Minako, this dress must cost a MINT!" Ami exclaimed as she slowly backed away from Minako's shivering grin as she approached, holding the dress out to her. "No it doesn't cost that much, it's a novelty dress, for dressing up at the carnival! We can make a rental on it! See, I got one myself!" She finished, holding out a uniform, that looked very much like that of Sailor Moon's. Ami chuckled, almost laughing outright. "Usagi would EXPLODE if she saw you dressed in that!" Minako grinned again and chuckled. "EXACTLY." ------ "Yes, it's strong here... we're getting close Makoto!" Raye said as she looked about the inside foodcourt, there must've been a lot of these around this place... but then noticed, Makoto wasn't beside her like she expected. Raye gritted her teeth as she watched Makoto order a bucket of popcorn, hotdog, and two drinks from one of the inside quick order resturant in the foodcourt. "MA-KO-TOOOOOO... WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Raye asked through her gritted teeth. "Hotdog?" Makoto replied, holding out a chilli dog with catsup and mustard on it. "...I'll Pass..." Raye replied. "Look, don't you think we should lay off eating anything here? It could be poisoned or something you know..." "Well everybody else is eating it and nothing's happening, so everything should be ok I guess, and besides I rushed out the house this morning and didn't eat anything, and I'm gonna need energy for the fight coming, right?" The Soldier of Thunder stated, taking a bite of the hotdog Raye had just refused. Raye sighed defeatedly and began to scan the area slowly, hands clasped together and index finger pointed forward, trying to pinpoint the abnormally high energies she was feeling. She inhaled sharply when her finger came in target with the man they saw before; who broke the carnival game earlier. She stared on at the spiky haired man as he idly bit into the footlong sub he recently brought from the foodstand he was standing at. He seemed to be talking to the woman who was also with him earlier too, and the child was with them as well, who was sitting at a nearby table happily eating a bowl of ramen. 'He... is ACTING like your regular citizen...' her mind thought, but the sense of energy she was feeling from him was unmistakable. And of course, enemy forces seem to never show themselves first off. There was more to him than what meets the eye... but then again, looking at that hairstyle... maybe-- She shivered visibly and put down her hands as the man's gaze turned towards her. "Raye?! What's up?!" Makoto asked, giving a slight shake on her shoulders. Thinking back to how many times she saw The Solider of Fire space out in one day, it was starting to worry her deeply. Without a word, Raye turned and walked over to a table far on the otherside of the foodcourt. Makoto followed, her concern clearly showing. Vegeta smirked to himself as he raised sub to his mouth for another bite. Just maybe... this would not be such a bad day after all. "Raye, I have to say that your starting to freak me out... that's the THIRD time today you zoned out like that... JUST WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" She punctuated, laying a firm grip on the shrine priest's shoulder. Raye turned her head, but only to seemingly give focus to a spot on the floor. "...We might be in over our head." Makoto sighed and pulled back her arm, and crossing them over her chest in concern. "Raye... what is it? We're all in this together... we're here for you, so, tell us what's eating at you... so we can pound it to bits for you!" The brunette finished grinning and chuckling alittle afterwards. She hoped the laugh would catch on with her friend, but she did no more than crack a small smile. It was good enough however, atleast she wasn't frowning anymore. "Well, I had a vision today in the fire, I didn't want to draw attention to it because I don't know what to exactly make of it... something immense is coming...I... I don't... we have to stop it somehow!" She yelled, in her mixture of confused feelings, not knowing how exactly to explain the vague situation. Makoto blinked... and smiled. "Raye, how many earthly disasters have we conquered? We're the SailorSoldiers, remember?! We saved our present AND the future! And you suddenly have no confidence in all of our abilities?! Raye, you HAVE to more faith in us! And in yourself! And once we find that blob of putty and put him in his place, everything will be back the way it is, right?" "NO MAKOTO, it DOESN'T stop there! I felt INTENSE POWER in the vision alone! And what I felt in my vision... seemed to be--" She stopped sharply, as if something has just caught her eye, and something did. She stared at the back of a large purple cloak of an equally large round man, who, anybody could tell, was scarfing down sweets and junkfood at the nearby snackbar across the otherside of the foodcourt. Both the senshi remembered that cloak from the otherday ago. And what Raye felt, she was sure they found who they were looking for. Buu continued to eat happily as the 2 SailorSoldiers made a beeline towards him. Author's Rants: Good GOD! That came out MUCH longer than I expected, and I STILL didn't accomplish as much as I wanted! First, apologies. ^^; My old email; (Veggitto@Dragonsanime.com) went down sometime ago unfortunately, and all emails that were sent to it. I lost a few nice emails too; one such had what looked to be a detailed list of C&C on my first chapter, which I was planning to reply to, but lost it when Dragonsanime.com went down. Sooooo, any emails anybody might've sent me concerning the first chapter, if possible PLEASE SEND AGAIN. ^^ Comments, criticism, or atleast well thought out flames, send to Super_Veggitto@Hotmail.com! Sankyuu! And Second; eventhough I have proofread and revised this, I can DEFENITELY use some C&C on this chapter as well, as the mighty bulk of this behemoth escapes me. And oh yea! I almost forgot! *Sigh* though Tenchi Muyo is based after Manatsu No Eve, my thought track was after OVA 13, so... Kiyone may not be in the fic. Doh! I may try to fit her into the fic, but no promises. As of this time it would cause a confusing rewrite of the plot I'm planning. Well, we'll see what happens! (That seems like my favorite phrase doesn't it...?) Gah! ALSO, I noticed another fic on the net called 'Sailor Dragon'. As not to have my fanfiction mistaken as being associated with this other fic, should I think about a name change? Email me! Next in Sailor Dragon Muyo: Satan's big celebration continues! The big show (no that's not a pun on a certain Wrestler) commences as Satan starts his big finale! The Great Saiyaman team and the SailorSoliders take to battle in a fight against against the evil... Mr Buu? But amiss the contest, and even bigger battle springs forth! And finally... will Juuhachigou get her money?! Problems and power clash in the next chapter! Be theeerrree! ^^; (...Yea... I thought that sounded corny as hell too... heh.)
