GWA43E

Chapter 43. The decisive battle.

The two antagonists accumulated energy in an incredible way. The moment of truth had come. The super saiyajin kept a fixed stare and concentrated on his enemy, eager to make him pay his dues. He was now thinking about a conversation he had with Goku, pausing at his training with him. It seemed like an eternity ...

-I'll try to do things as you've taught me. - I thought, remembering. -

Roy tried to catch his breath and his teacher went where he was, to comment in a serious tone, unusual when it came to him.

- In a very short time you will be ready and you will be able to fulfill your destiny.

The man gave him a startled look and inquired.

-You mean to beat that demon and save the Earth don´t you?

- Partly yes. - Goku admitted that he added in a row followed by a touch of mystery. - But there's something else.

-What is it? - The boy wanted to know with obvious interest. -

- I do not know for sure, that only Landar can tell you. All I can tell you is that you have great potential. You see, inside you sleep memories that, free from the domain of evil and after your definitive training, can wake up at any moment. Surely the occasion arrives when you need them.

-What do you mean? - Roy inquired. -

-You are a saiyajin ... your true power has not been arisen yet .- His mentor commented adding. - That's why they wanted to possess you. I mean these demons. And so, among other things, I was instructed to train you.

The young man questioned him with his gaze, but his mentor went back to his characteristic defiance to cheer him up with a jovial tone.

-Come on, we have to go on, lazy boy!

And Roy had the impression that this kind of warning was about to be fulfilled. As he exercised with others he became aware of something. It was nothing concrete but an indefinite feeling of keeping things inside that should come out, but not like a torrent, at least not yet. For now they were doing it slowly and controlled, flowing one after another. For example, when in a break from training Ail played his flute and he, wishing to accompany him, materialized another one of very strange design and beauty also play, He discovered astonished that he could interpret melodies to which more harmonious. In the same way he fought with Nephrite with a sword to practice and developed so well that he even came to defeat his astonished companion who was a master of fencing. But he had to resort to being given a sword and he, in a sense, felt incomplete. Who was really him? Until then he believed that only a mere body that had served as a vessel to a ruthless demon and that, dead this, had released his own human consciousness. Then a kind of extraterrestrial perhaps, with powers far above normal. But what if he went further and that was not his real personality, but another that concealed a deeper and still unknown? Now, about to begin the final battle against evil, he was certain he would find out ...

-For better or for worse, I hope to know myself.- He said. - Thank you Son Goku-sama.

Then the demon pulled the boy out of his thoughts, pointed at him with one of his claws and rebuking him.

-I do not know how you managed to survive, but this time I'll make sure I'm done with you! And I'm going to have a great time doing it. – Nagashel threatening laughing - There is no pact now. Once I destroy you, I will take care of carpet of corpses the arrival of the Master in this miserable world.

-Not this time. - Roy smirked in turn with a determined, arrogant expression. - Now things will be different, I'm stronger than you, - he said without shame. -

- Let's see it now miserable! And this time, I can assure you I will not be as kind as the last time. - Nagashel asserted .-

And in order to prove it, he threw himself at the Golden Warrior with a tremendous speed, giving him a powerful punch that slammed him against some rocks, shattering them by impact and burying Roy under several tons of stones.

- Ha, ha, ha! - Nagashel laughed full to sentence. - This time I will not do comedy, you will not last me five minutes, but I will make you hold a little more so that you suffer. I'm already enjoying the moment ...

From afar, the warriors and the boy's companions witnessed the fight. Seeing this blow, Setsuna and Haruka were impressed.

-Oh no! that monster will have destroyed him with that punch, - Pluto exclaimed horrified. -

-It was terrible! I've never seen anything like it. Not even with Galaxy. - Uranus also astonished, said. - What kind of power do these beings possess?

-Be calm. - Sapphire said, seemingly unconcerned. - It's just a warm-up blow surely Roy is gauging the strength of his enemy.

- How would it be when they start to fight seriously! - Makoto snorted waving a hand. -

Usagi and Mamoru looked at each other with a certain amount of uneasiness, but then they relaxed that expression. Something flashed from the tons of stones, it was Roy who kept shining and was without a scratch, just carelessly caressing his jaw.

- Was that your best shot? What a disappointment! - He said with a funny gesture. -

-What? - Exclaimed his enemy. -  you dare to make fun of me, worm?

-You are right. And as I assumed, this time the tables have been turned. You have nothing to do, -his rival said grinning maliciously to add, not without rejoicing, paraphrasing him.- I'm going to give you back one by one all the blows you gave me ... and I'm going to enjoy it a lot ...

-But what are you saying, you naive fool? - The skeptic demon mocked inquiring in turn. - Do you think I've used all my strength?"

And to underline his words his red aura glowed more potent and began to lift stones from the ground. They scattered floating in the air around them, aimed at Roy with his claws and fired a barrage of powerful beams of energy, opening a huge crater on the ground. Diamond, Nephrite, Ail, and Sapphire, heftily created a shield among all to protect themselves along with the warriors. At that moment Nagashel threw a large lightning bolt that hit the ground with the effects of a nuclear explosion. The blast overwhelmed everything in its path.

-Wall of Silence! - Saturn exclaimed invoking hastily one of her defensive weapons.

Luckily the combined power of all resisted. Although they were thrown to the ground just in case. The first to get up was Makoto who could see a totally desolate landscape. All around her were only a bare plain, all the relief forms for miles around had been razed.

-OMG! - the warrior Jupiter exclaimed with the mouth open - there is nothing left standing!

- If they have done this in just a few seconds, what can they do during the whole match! I would not want to be in Roy's shoes. - Minako added, her face pale. -

-I do not know if he could have survived that. - Ail hesitated, now truly worried. -

-Have confidence in him. You know him. - Usagi asked them with a smile. - He'll get over it.

Roy's group of four companions glanced in unison toward Sailor Moon's position. Finally they nodded. All, however, held their breaths with horrified countenances. Although, to their general relief, their friend emerged somewhat bruised but unscathed from the sand.

-You've stained my new uniform, - the super saiyajin told the demon, who was surprised to see him so untouched. - Now you have started to piss me off. It's my turn! - He snarled between angrily and mockingly. - You'll see…

This time it was Roy who disappeared at a great speed, reappeared hitting his enemy in the belly. He finished the attack with a kick to the head that threw him to the ground. Nagashel got up angrily and surprised because he had not seen him came.

-You must have dodged it. - The demon mumbled, thinking of his previous attack - yes, that must be, but now you would be reduced to particles! But this time I will crush you with my own hands. So that you do not escape again.

-If you think I'm going to let you put your filthy hooves on me again, you're even more idiot than I have thought! - The boy spat, prompting the demon with signs to approach him, with an insolent and contemptuous gesture on his face. - Come on, cow face, come and get me!

Nagashel attacked his enemy but Roy stopped him in his attack, both clashed with blows, their speed was such that the others could not distinguish them. Not even Roy's training partners had ever seen him raise his power and strength so much. It was clear that against them he had not tapped into his full potential. Anyway, the two opponents broke out panting from the effort. Roy seemed more rested, his long periods of training with Goku and in the Corner of Soul and Time had borne fruit, he breathed better and fatigue hardly affected him. The demon began to realize this and blinded by rage materialized a large black steel sword curved like a scimitar. He attacked his rival who dodged the attacks with skill. But Nagashel managed to corner him against a hill, triumphantly preparing to cross it when his prey disappeared.

-Where have you gone? - The incredulous devil howled, turning his great horned forehead in all directions. -

-Here! -The man said, appearing behind him. - It's an instant translation, - he replied, shaking Nagashel a two-handed blow on his back before he could turn and that he ended up embedding the demon against the hill that collapsed by the power of the crash.

This one, mad with fury, came out with the scimitar ahead. Roy looked up at the sky in a trance and without thinking raised an arm and scream.

-Immemorial sword. Come to my call! - At once a beautiful and long sword that glittered as the gold materialized in his hand, with it he stopped the thrusts of his adversary. - Now fight if you dare!

Nagashel disappeared from sight and Roy did as well. They reappeared fighting hundreds of meters in just a second. The swords released sparks and flares of golden and scarlet light that embraced as if they also fought each other. The noise they produced at the crash was like a blast that seemed to deafen anyone who was near. The warriors and their fighting friends even had to cover their ears that threatened to explode.

-It's a tremendous energy! - Ami could scream out loud to try to be heard, as she consulted her visor. Holding in turn the bursts of hurricane that both adversaries produced to assert astonished. - Exit the measuring scale!

The others could only nod, trying to follow that battle, clinging to the ground and not being deaf to those detonations ...

In the city, a few kilometers from the battle. The sisters had felt the ground tremble beneath them. They were almost cured of their wounds and about to go to sleep for a while, but that sudden earthquake dissuaded them. Fearing a new attack by the demons, they hurried along with Tom. From that distance they saw the glow of a great light in the form of an atomic mushroom and the noise caused by that explosion that provoked Nagashel. Followed by the kind of ringing that reverberated as if two large metal bars collided. Everything had been flooded by the glow and huge golden and scarlet rays crossed the distant horizon. Even to them came a gust of wind, which, although attenuated by the distance, was still able to shake violently their hair, raising papers and dust, howling like a typhoon.

-What was that? - Beruche cried, covering her eyes so as not to blink. -

-It looks like an atomic bomb! - Cooan shouted again to be heard. -

-It's energy! - Karaberasu added, stammering. - Two huge forces are fighting!

Bertie felt a pang, her heart racing. For a moment he felt as if ... she sighed, letting it run, her imagination playing tricks on her at this point. She wished that the warriors, who were supposed to fight against that terrible force, would win.

-Let's go girls! We have to find a safe place. Those downloads are so powerful that they could even affect us here. - His partner Tom told them. -

They nodded in unison. So Tom and the girls walked down some alleys looking for shelter in the face of a possible blast while warning everyone. They reached a narrow, deserted alley and took refuge there.

-I wish Usagi and the others can beat that monster! - Cooan sighed. -

-Yes, it must be that damn Nagashel who has returned. - Agreed Petz. -

- At least this is deserted. There seems to be no sign of demons, nor of sectarians, not so badly! – Bertie said with relief. -

But she and the others were wrong. They thought there was no one left until a guttural voice was heard behind them. From the shadows of an adjacent alley came two reddish eyes and then a black habit. The girls, horrified, recognized the Great Sage. And he was not alone, a ragged Fantoui escorted him wielding a long bloody knife.

-You are absolutely right!  Nagashel has returned and will destroy this disgusting world. But you will not see it, I will kill you sooner! - Threatened that entity in his hissing voice. -

But Tom got in his way and Fantoui faced him. The boy drew his katana. Both were very keen to end their opponent and began a close combat. The girls wanted to help their friend, but they could not because the Wiseman attacked them throwing rays of energy that they dodged with difficulty. The retort was immediate, Tom was released of his rival a precious seconds and it used throwing a protective spell that served as shield, slowing the attacks of the necromancer. Cooan then attacked him with a barrage of arrows of fire and Beruche with her needles of ice. The Great Sage rejected them by raising his ball and emitting energy from it.

-I understand now! - Petz exclaimed. - All his powers come from that damn ball. Surely we do not destroy it the other time, that's why he's back.

-Yes, it is true! - Cooan agreed, remembering. - Usagi warned us and we should have missed it.

- That I am going to solve it in a moment, - Karaberasu shouted throwing her whip that prey on the arm of the Wiseman unloading against him a powerful burst of energy, causing him to release the ball that fell to the ground. -

-Damn bitch!- The necromancer insulted her, adding with an unpleasant hiss. - No matter what you do! When that baby is born, he will take the seed of evil and destroy you all! - He prophesied with hatred. -

The girl face went pale assaulted by that fear but she managed to surpass it to the moment and did not release her whip until the Wiseman was able to release with effort.  Kalie completely exhausted, fell to the ground and Petz helped her up and away. Bertie covered them in that retreat with a barrage of crystals that his enemy dodged and she spat at him with contempt.

- That will not happen because we will rid of evil that is in him as we did with everyone else and -with ourselves. You have failed Sage! ...

-And this time for good!  You're going to pay all together, for all the suffering you've caused us, here and in Nemesis. - Petz added, leaving her sister covered and leaning behind a corner to catch her breath. -

-Ha, ha, ha!" He laughed sadistically. - Suffering? - Naive little girls! That's not over yet. You will follow the path of your mother. Why do you think she ended up going crazy? My brother in the future showed her what your destiny would be ... Annihilation! And your father was silenced when he came to realize what was happening.

That made appear the surprise and the horror on the faces of the girls. What could they do to their mother to leave her like this? However, Petz was the most impacted of all. She was the one who saw her one last time ... then her words did not make much sense to her ...

-Oh my God, mom…

Her mind returned to that memory. Before leaving on her mission to the past on Earth. When she got permission to visit her mother, she finally got home. Service droids opened the door. She passed in and question in a dubious tone.

-Mama? ... I'm Petzite ... Are you here? ...

Then a rather emaciated figure with straight hair came out of a room. To her horror the girl could recognize her mother. She was almost stumbling and, upon seeing the young woman, stopped short, pointing at her with an accusing finger.

-You are…

-I'm Petzite, Mama, - the girl replied, trying to smile despite of that vision. -

-You're one of them! Get away from me, you're not my daughter.

-Of course I am, Mama! – The frightened girl answered-. It's me ... I've come to see you.

But that mad woman shook her head with a rictus of fear and almost despair, muttering in a disjointed way ...

-All corrupted. The Black Moon! ... my daughters, my girls ... Where are they? What have you done with them? - She shrieked now. -

-But mother! - Petzite been really shocked by that scene, asked. - What are you talking about?

Although this woman seemed to react by looking at her then with another expression, she cried now and threw herself to embrace the frightened girl.

-Sweetheart ... do not let them catch you, too. Do not believe them ...

-Capture me? Who? ... What happened to you? ... Where's Dad? - The girl who was totally overwhelmed by, wanted to know. -

-Papa? - Her mother moaned again, adding helplessly and tearfully, radically changing her subject and speaking as if she were just a child. - Grandmother ... tell me more about Earth ...

The girl could not help crying, seeing the sorry state of her poor mother. No matter how hard she tried, she could not get her out of those dreams that possessed her. Finally she left, muttering between sobs.

-Goodbye, Mom ... I love you.

And the cruel laughter of that Sage took her out of those thoughts. Then the furious girl snapped, preparing her attack ...

-Bastard! I will never forgive you! You're going to pay for it!

-Let's not waste time arguing with that monster and destroying his ball! - Cooan harangued them for the same one that still rolled over the floor with her eyes, while she was ready to aim it with her bow. – You are going to disappear, damn monster!

-Nooo! - The Sage cried desperately, trying to retrieve it, for he listened to his enemies and knew that now they knew his secret. - You treacherous bitches!

Trying desperately to get hold of his ball, he threw lightning at the girls who intercepted him with their energies. Both jets of power held in the air. Beruche and Petz, who barely joined Karaberasu, resisted that pulse by freeing Cooan who, meanwhile, managed to aim her target with the bow and fired a large arrow of fire. The ball, upon receiving the direct impact, exploded. At that moment the power of the Great Sage was extinguished. Bertie, Karaberasu and Petz, to which Cooan now joined, increased the intensity of their rays with the remaining reserves and destroyed him. This time definitely.

-Goodbye an this tome forever, damn murderer! Enjoy in Hell. -Exclaimed Bertie  joyfully. -

-Yes. At last we have avenged our world and our parents, - Kalie added with the excited assent of her sisters. - They can rest in peace now ...

But they had to be careful, they were not alone. Fantoui let out a sharp shriek of fury and terror as his master was annihilated and charged against Tom blind of rage. The boy let him approach and with a quick kendo movement he avoided cutting him with his sword at the waist. The sectarian fell instantly and died a few seconds later after a copious amount of blood. The boy sighed for a long time, slamming his weapon into the ground and leaning on it. No matter how cruel and evil Fantoui had proved himself to be, he was repugnant to having killed a human. Although of course no one would reproach him and he himself said he had no choice. This was a death war against evil. That pig and his men had probably already massacred many innocent people, and if he and the girls had not stopped him, they would have killed a lot more. They, for their part, did not want to look at the corpse of the sectarian. But they sympathized with Tom, especially Cooan who soon embraced him.

-You could not do anything else, sweetheart, - she whispered lovingly and sympathetically as he barely nodded.

-It's over, - A panting Beruche said, gazing in the distance, aware as well as the others, that they could not arrive in time, much less intervene, at the magnitude of that power and added as a hopeful consolation. - At least the sect. But, now we have Nagashel. And I wonder, - she sighed loudly making audible what everyone thought - who will be fighting that demon? I guess Sailor Moon  and the others. Can they beat him?

Her question was not answered by anyone although everyone wanted the victory went to their friends ...

The battle was still fierce. Roy fought back with great force, turning the demon back, wielding his sword as if he had fought with her all his life. He did not know how he did it, it was as if old memories were slept until then in him. Just as Goku anticipated. The sword and his body seemed to be one, and both moved swiftly and rapidly like a flash of golden light.

-How is it possible? - Nagashel howled surprised and dismayed by the astonishment. - You could not improve so much in such a short time!

-You would be surprised, - His rival replied, who, carrying a kind of flash in his mind, began to say things that he himself did not understand. - You no longer have a human scared and hopeless in front of you! I am the prince of an immortal kingdom and you, damn devil, you will pay for all the damage you have done to this world and to the other!

-It cannot be! - That devilish entity stammered overwhelmed by surprise, and then came to understand. - You come from the previous humankind!

The boy continued to attack, spurred on by the growing memories that crowded his mind. Nagashel threw a desperate setback with his scimitar but his enemy dodged it and turning on him he gave a controllable one that beheaded his rival. Then he lowered himself to the ground, stuck his sword in it, concentrated energy joining hands as Goku had taught him and shouted.

-Come from life force, destroy my enemy! – This is for you, master. Kame ha, haaa!

He threw a powerful stream of energy that disintegrated the demon, both the head and the body of it were disintegrated into particles that were dragged by the wind. After that he smiled and said looking up at the sky.

- For all of you, Bertie, Connie, Tommy, girls, friends, Dad, Mom, Landar and for you masters Kaio, Piccolo, Trunks, Vegeta, Son Gohan, Son Goku ...

From the distance the warriors and their companions cheered him elated, and they went to him to congratulate him ...

            But then the sky began to be covered with dense dark clouds and a black hole emerged between them. A current of hurricane air was created that attracted everything that found towards that vortex. The warriors and the others held back, concentrating their auras to sink to the ground, but the demons were entering docilely, absorbed by him. Both Roy and the others looked stunned. Then something horrible came out of that hole, a large shadow that surrounded a gigantic figure. The absolute power and evil that manifested froze the heart to all leaving them unable to move.

-Do not look! - Usagi ordered them, adopting the appearance of Queen Serenity and emitting an aura that surrounded her friends. -

Everyone covered their eyes or turned their heads, obeying immediately. Rei barely could mutter with a tone dominated by the most absolute terror.

-That aura of wickedness is inconceivable, I had never seen anything like it!

Then a voice, beyond any intelligible sound, uttered a name. Roy could hear it clearly and recognized it, "Asthel come to me," said that cavernous call, and that silhouette advanced towards him with two huge reddish eyes that were nailed to him. The boy could not move despite being at the maximum of his power. A supernatural terror was invading him. Like the others. Clouds raced across the sky at great speed, and terrible black and mauve lightning whipped the surface of the earth around that gigantic entity. The young man was about to be dragged, and when he thought he could not stand it for another second, those eyes looked away. The boy could sigh with relief. Even with a fear-stricken heart he tried to remake himself, he thought he was going to be disintegrated only with the force of that vision. But it occurred to Roy and that figure that Landar appeared. The magician, glowing with immaculate energy, stood firmly on the windstorm, and without looking at all frightened, he spat at that terrible apparition with a powerful voice of command.

-He has won! You have lost! Comply with the agreement and get away from here! In the name of the Creator I command you! Then he raised his hands, carried a staff that emitted a blinding white light enveloping the place. - Vade retro! ...

The figure obeyed and went away withdrawing into the hole between lightning and thunder that discharged sulfurous bursts. The last demons came in and with it. The great access to Hell closed behind them and without the group could hardly realize everything returned to normal. Serenity returned to her form of Sailor Moon. The sun shone again, there was no trace of evil energy and they could all move at last. Now they felt a great peace that filled their hearts. The fear was disappearing replaced by an enormous sense of freedom and joy. But when he was sufficiently recovered, Roy asked the wizard in a soft voice, tinged with awe.

-What was that Landar?  Why have I not been able to move? I've never felt such power! Not even in Son Goku! It's unimaginable and terrible!

The Magician gave him a long look and answered solemnly. Extending his words to others.

- You have been face to face with the maximum power of the ninth infernal circle. That was the Prince of Darkness himself. The master of all evil beings against whom you have fought. In this world you call him Satan. And he was not here in reality, that was only the aura that emanated from the depths of Hell, where he must resign himself to continue.

All were petrified by the terror, but little by little they were re-made. Diamond was the first to be able to speak recovered from the impression and still covered in cold sweat.

- But he's already gone. We're safe, are not we? - He wanted to know visible insecurity. -

-Yes. - Landar nodded comfortably. - I have already told you that he has only manifested his spiritual aura. He could not enter this world once defeated, but his power is much greater. In fact, no demon can return to Earth from now on. The Yalmutud spheres have been put in a safe place.

-And you say his power is greater than that? - Ail croaked, unable to believe it. -

- I pray to God that we will never have to face him on his ground. - Said Sapphire still frightened. -

-Explain that to us Landar, please. - Nephrite asked in amazement and stunned by those words. -

- This battle was part of a struggle that goes back beyond time. - The questioner answered. - It is the eternal battle between the forces of good and evil. And you, and the demons that you have defeated, have been the pieces of this game. On this occasion the good has won, but there will be more games, as there were and will be in other times and other times.

-You can tell us the whole story now, right? - Sapphire asked with a curious curiosity. -

- In due time all will be revealed, not yet. You must wait, - The wizard said, and his gesture relaxed, drawing a faint smile to add. - Now you can see your loved ones again.

-Yes! - Agreed Ail, regaining his enthusiasm. - I really want to see Ann and my son!

- We have not told the girls you've come back to life. We wanted you to surprise them yourself. -Ami confessed to Roy's group. -

Then Mercury fused into a hug with the boy, seconded by Rei and Usagi herself.

-Yes, - Mamoru agreed. - This is the end of the battle and we deserve a break.

- The mission is fulfilled. - Rei sighed with the approving assent of the others. -

- It is true. – Usagi added, who now seemed to be much better at mastering English than she had been in the past, especially when she added. - You did very well. And now we can tell you the whole truth.

-Are there any other warriors about that you should tell us and we do not already know? - Diamond asked them with visible interest. -

- Yes, that is. – Mamoru replied, adding with serenity. - But We tell you everything when we'll all be together, when Tom and the girls will join us.

Everyone was very intrigued but it seemed that they should still wait. However, Nephrite chose to ask something more personal.

- You must tell me everything that has happened in the world since I was murdered. How is Naru? - He wanted to know with great interest. -

- Well, now she comes  out with a boy.- Makoto told a little stiff to explain - after the final battle against the Kingdom of Darkness. It is long to explain. We all lost our memory, like you I mean, it's a long story. I do not even know you. Although - she sighed thoughtfully - You remind me a lot of an old ...

-Boyfriend you had? - Minako smiled to be amused. - Girl, you're always with the same thing!

Although this time Sailor Jupiter did not laugh with the others and she insisted with a surprised and confused gesture.

- No, it's not that ... at least that's what I think. In this case there is something, you are very familiar to me, but I do not remember ...

- Good. - Ami termed now addressing Nephrite who was watching Makoto without understanding. - The truth is since you died many things happened.

-Yes, it's quite a long story, - Rei said, adding with distress. - And some of my classmates do not even know who you are. Like Jupiter herself, they had not yet emerged as warriors at that time. Or they do not remind you of their past lives. In fact, Naru herself does not know who you are. For her to know, we should give her back the memories she lost when Usagi purified the Earth by destroying Metallia and that could be very painful for her.

- Now she has a solid and stable life and it would be very hard to change it. - Ami said with the same regret. -

-I understand, - Nephrite said, dropping his head and adding with resignation. - Maybe it's better to leave things as they are. Anyway, I'll go with you. I want to know everything that has happened and start a new life there, in Japan.

- I also accompany you .- Ail euphoric joined them, although he tried to mitigate this feeling by solidarity with his friend. However, he could not avoid insisting. - Forgive me, my friend. It's just that I'm crazy to embrace my wife and my son!

The man addressed him with a kind smile, he understood his fight partner and did not reproach him, indeed, he was very happy for him because one of the most important things that they had all developed was solidarity. Both the sorrows and the joys of one of them were of the rest. No one had to put it in words, a single gesture or a glance was enough and that happened between Nephrite and Ail, with the complicity of the others. So, both said goodbye to Roy, Sapphire and Diamond.

-I hope we'll see each other again. - Sapphire told all those who were about to leave. -

- When you have had time to meet again and see your loved ones. - Mamoru replied. - Once we're together, we'll be back here.

-And we're throwing a great party! Leave that on my account. - Roy stated with his usual animation of always placing them all - and I will pass list, so that no one happens to miss it.

Diamond nodded with a smile adding on his part after sobering again.

- Queen Serenity, King Endymion or rather, Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Kamen, and of course guardians of justice. It has been a pleasure to be with you again, to know others and to fight alongside you all as friends. And I humbly beg your pardon for my past behavior.- He asked with regret.-

The prince could not forget, however, the way he tried to achieve the love of Queen Serenity. That time in the future when he kidnapped her and almost abused her. Now, long gone, the effects of that dark energy that blinded him, he was fully realized. The embarrassment was invading him and almost had no intention of facing his eyes to that of his interlocutors. Although it was Sailor Moon herself who responded with a kind tone.

- All that happened a long time ago. You're not that man anymore. Now you are on the side of good. And we're glad to call you friend.

- Thank you. - He could answer, visibly recognized, while he smiled relieved .- Count on me for anything what you need. I hope we will meet again very soon.

-I hope so, and so will Diamond. Now that you can finally do it, start again and try to be happy. - Usagi asked offering a hand to the prince who, instead of narrowing it, kissed her with great respect and affection, making even a sincere inclination. -

- We wish you good luck my friend. – Mamoru added as if he was aware of the young man's plans and offered him a hand in turn. - Have faith in you. You will get it…

The prince now shook it cordially. In this way, he settled this pending account with the long chain of lies and misunderstandings that alienated him with the king and queen of the future Silver Millennium.

-Thank you, King Endymion ...-  He said with obvious acknowledgment. - I will.

After these farewells the warriors joined in a circle and in the center were Mamoru, Ail and Nephrite, who helped them with their energies. They all invoked the power of translation and vanished back to their home. Roy and the brothers were left alone and, for a long time, silent and reflective in that wasteland. Meanwhile, in Heaven, a smiling Son Goku watched what was happening on Earth. Next to him, Vegeta and his son, Trunks. A boy of medium stature, blue haired long hair, gathered in a ponytail and blue eyes. He was dressed just like his father and Goku himself, in that training uniform.

-I was sure they will win! - Goku declared very jubilant and full of visible pride. Adding to his peers. - Do not you think we have a worthy successors on Earth in this universe?

- I also feel very proud of those who form the lineage of our family. Do not you believe that, father? -Trunks inquired with a wide smile of satisfaction, adding with a hint of regret. - I would have liked to train them for a little longer. It was a shame that Goku was the only one capable of teaching Roy that Instant Translation technique.

-Yes. - Son Gohan added, a dark-haired, dark-eyed boy like his father Son Goku, though his hair was shorter. - But we have gone on to give them some advice. Same as you, Vegeta? - He asked with a knowing smile.

The man did not answer, he merely looked at his fellowmen with indifference and turned his back on them. But when they could not see him, he smiled a faint smile of satisfaction. Turning to look at his companions, at last he declared with a prophetic gesture and an emotionless way.

- There are still many tests to overcome for them, we will see how they behave then ... they are still far enough from the level of a true saiyajin.

The proud saiyajin thought about how he approached that certain Roy. It was during a workout. That kid was already a second level super warrior. But Vegeta snapped at him without any kindness.

-You look like a vulgar insect ...

-Take it easy Vegeta, do not tell that to the boy. - Son Goku was concerned that along with Roy he had stopped training. -

-Shut up, Kakaroto! - He snapped the add, not without complacency and a bit of sarcasm .- If you do not like, you can do something about it.- Vegeta added staring at Roy in discontent.-

-Dear friend. I do not know who you are but of course I will. - Roy replied, throwing himself against him. -

And his opponent became a second level super warrior. Both exchanged several blows and dodged quickly. Roy did not do anything wrong. Though then his improvised adversary smiled with some rejoicing to declare by crossing his arms.

- Not bad ... for an insect ... pity that that is all the power you can get to deploy! ...

-I know Master Son Goku has even more power. But I do not perceive yours anywhere. - Roy challenged him.-

-Ha, ha, ha! -It was his rival´s answer.-

Then Vegeta was transformed, not without first sentence ...

-Now, remember this feeling ...

To Roy's astonishment he watched as his adversary progressed to the next phase and could barely muster ...

-Blue! Your hair has turned blue! But how…? I do not feel your ki! How is it possible?

He could not add more, without realizing he was on the ground after suffering a punch in the stomach that prevented him to breathe. Meanwhile Vegeta stared impassively at him, glittering with an aura of blue that now enveloped him in his hair, after a few moments of silence, he declared.

-You are no match for a God! At least not yet. Remember the pain ... think that you will receive from your enemies if you do not get stronger. That will make you better ... never forget it, your pride is your power.

And so he turned and returned to his natural state, leaving without looking back ... letting Kakaroto taking care of that boy.

-In spite of everything, your apprentices are not as useless as they seemed. - Vegeta smiled after returning from those memories. -

Trunks, Son Gohan, and Son Goku nodded in confidence to their pupils and their distant descendants. Oblivious to that, Diamond, Roy and Sapphire prepared to leave. The time of the expected reunion had arrived for everyone. No one was able to contain his emotion for it and they asked themselves.

-How will our friends be? Will they stay well? How will they react when they see us?

On the other hand, Tom and the girls were finally able to rest, they sank into a deep and restful sleep. They just wanted to sleep and wake up with the promise of a better world for everyone and surely destiny would not disappoint them. How little they could imagine the great and wonderful surprises that awaited them! And without anyone seeing him, lifting up in the air, a hooded figure in black sundress took notes in a large burgundy book ...
