GWHC15. The great ceremony

There was little time left for the ceremony to take place. The group had reached New Vegeta. They were the guests of honor. Curiously, the people of the space warriors, generally bellicose and reluctant to deal with foreigners, when not directly hostile, received them with great courtesy. Of course, it helped that Lornd and Setsuna instructed Chancellor Dariel to give orders that these newcomers had to be honored as if they were princes of the planet. Also Seira and Calix were very kind to them and that did not go unnoticed by the rest of the saiyajin. Anyone who was the object of such expressions of respect on the part of the Chancellor's sister must surely be someone very powerful. And Seira was entrusted with the honorable task of escorting and guiding the guests through the city. So, strolling through the streets of the main city and capital, New Vegeta, the guardian of the future queen of the saiyajin, told the group of women she was leading to the palace to see her companion before the wedding and coronation.

-Our world is austere, but it has beautiful places. You will like it.

-Yes, I'm looking forward to painting some landscapes. - Michiru said, who, along with Haruka, did not lose any detail of those sober constructions. - Some are really very beautiful.

            They could see some extensions of forests when they landed with the capsules. Now they toured the capital, it was the Sunset City, as their hosts called her. Although not too big, of course, for terrestrial standards. So much so that most of the buildings were low-rise, if not single-family houses. More like huts made of brick and stone than real constructions. Although the Saiyajin did not pay too much importance to their dwellings. In fact, space warriors did not usually stay in them for long. They loved moving and doing physical exercise, especially training for the fight. Seira told them that in their homes they were little more than sleeping, eating or meeting their families from time to time. However, appearances were deceiving, not homes as fragile as it might seem. The guardian and real counselor even gave them the opportunity to enter one of those houses and it was not so bad inside. A room somewhat wider than the rest of the rooms, a couple of rooms, a bathroom and a kitchen. The decoration was, yes, very sober. Although it could pass through an average address of any country on Earth.

-It's even bigger than my floor! – Ami commented in a funny way. -

-It's a home for three, two saiyajin and their little son. - Seira told them that she nodded in gratitude to the young couple who waited outside to tell them. - Thanks for allowing us to pass.

-The honor is ours, Noble Royal Guardian. - Could say the young man, visibly impressed after bowing. -

            The Saiyajin woman held a little boy of about a year and a half in her arms. All the girls gave a slight bow in gratitude for having been able to visit that lodging. Then they continued walking.

-You are an austere people, there is no doubt of that. But you do not live as bad as I thought. -Petz commented. -

-In addition, Saiyajin children do need to sleep and spend more time being cared for, at least until they were six or seven years old. Which is when their basic training should begin. – Setsuna's guardian explained to them. -

-It is something that I will never understand. - Ami could say as she observed now in the street a few of those kids running around and playing and imitate the battles of adults. -

- What, Ma'am? - The Saiyajin asked her while she was guided them.-

-So much violence, especially the children, that worries me. - The warrior Mercury said.-

-That's right. - Minako agreed. - It is still strange to me, being the warrior of Love.

-You will be very powerful then, your highness. - Seira guessed, affirming not without admiration.- The queen always says that love is a huge power. The biggest that exists.

-Well, I cannot complain - Sailor Venus smiled and blushed. -

-What we do not understand is why you make these children fight from such a young age.- Makoto commented, going back to the previous topic.-

-That is the custom among our people. At first our sovereign thought as you did, but then she understood. We are a race of warriors. We are educated for that almost since we are born.

- Do not you think it is a little bit exaggerated? - A perplexed Cooan intervened.-

-No, at all! Now we have even softened a lot. -  Seira smiled to tell them.- In ancient times, even before our great King Vegeta, the weakest of the Saiyajin were sent as babies to conquer other planets.

            That perplexed them all. It was Bertie who could say, almost unable to believe it.

-But ... if you're talking about newborns. It cannot be!

-That happened in ancient times, not now. - Seira reminded her interlocutor adding in turn with curiosity .- Tell me one thing, Your Highness, did not Prince Asthel come to Earth that way?

            Beruche showed her a surprised gesture and shook her head to answer.

-No, at least that I know. And Seira. - She added now more jovially.- You can call me Bertie.

            Her interlocutor nodded and they continued the walk. It was Hotaru who, after meditating for a moment, commented.

-Well, your ancestors must have been terribly powerful, if they were capable of that at birth, I do not even want to think about what they could do when they grew up.

- Someday I will tell you in more detail. Now we do not have too much time.- The saiyajin female answered and riveting.- That's why I tell you that we like the action. The struggle and the battle are in our nature.

-You live a very active life, that cannot be denied.- Haruka said impressed also but trying not to show it too much. -

-And do not you have shops around here? - Minako interested.-

- Not too many. - Seira replied adding. - The basics to eat, and other essential needs.

-Well, for me, shoes and dresses belong to that kind of needs.- Emerald said in a more casual tone.-

-Sure Setsuna will make the appropriate changes when she is crowned.- Makoto commented in the same way. -

-Yes, and I hope you have many bakeries. I'm going to eat a lot! - Usagi said.-

The fact was that until that moment she had remained very quiet, but now she spoke with patent enthusiasm in her voice.

-Well, you'll get fat like a cow ... - Rei smiled maliciously, intervening for the first time too.-

-I was not talking to you, so I do not know why you have to get into other people's things. As usual! It is seen that if you do not take your forked tongue to walk, you are not happy. - The aforementioned retorted.-

- Yes ... look ... look how I take her out ... - the interpellated said by making it literally in the face of her interlocutor. - Blurlrlrlrl ...

            Usagi responded in the same way. That of course caused visible trouble to the rest of the girls. Except for Seira and some other Saiyajin who watched the scene with surprise.

-Is it some kind of ritual? ...- the Keeper of Setsuna, asked.-

-Well, yeah... - Ami replied resignedly, adding as she lowered her head in embarrassment. - One that they practice continuously ...

-Very curious. You will explain to me its meaning. - Seira declared while she kept walking without paying more attention to that.-

-Girls, please! - Makoto asked visibly blushing .- You are making us look like fools ...

-Yes ... you are grown girls, are not you ashamed? - Minako scolded them.-

            Fortunately the aforementioned ones noticed the eyes of the Saiyajin people on them and blushed in turn, leaving their umpteenth dispute parked. They calmed down and continued the walk.

-This city is more advanced than I thought. - Bertie commented as she observed some broad avenues and other buildings of greater size, as they approached the palace.

-Our people are not very expert in buildings like terrestrial ones, but we know how to do some things.- Seira replied not without satisfaction.-

-You could incorporate some techniques of the Earth.- Cooan proposed.-

-It's not mine to deal with such matters. Although, I suppose that, when their majesties the king and the queen, are crowned and officially begin their government, you will be able to comment those subjects to them.- Its interlocutor affirmed.-

-Maybe Sapphire could help you, he is an engineer and very good.- Petz smiled.-

The Saiyajin nodded appreciatively with a nod. They continued with the tour and Seira left them in the care of other women from her town who helped them to settle. Once they left their luggage and became comfortable, they went to meet their partners who had not gone with them. The men, on the other hand, had been training something. Lornd and his brother practiced a little combat with their friends. It was then that the girls arrived at the large training camp. There, a few warriors from space watched the evolutions of the group and even fought in a "friendly" way with the guests.

-I do not know what they will think of us.- He could say an exhausted Diamond when he finished his round and met his partner.- Some are much stronger than me or any of our team. Except Roy.

-Well ... brute force is not everything.- Emerald replied passing an arm around the waist to her interlocutor.-

-I do not know if the Saiyajin will think the same thing.- An exhausted Sapphire valued, who, in turn, met with Petz.-

            But now, the rest of them, besides the brothers of Nemesis and their partners, noticed that Dariel, the royal chancellor, had challenged Roy nothing less than a fight, albeit a friendly one.

-Being our king's brother, your strength must be very great. It would be an honor for me to measure myself with you. - He asked with great courtesy. -

-Of course.- Roy nodded returning the kindness as he declared.- I believe that you are the brother of Seira, to whom I respect a lot. She is an incredible woman and a great fighter. If you are also the chancellor you must be very powerful. The honor will be mine.

            His rival replied with a recognized nod. And without loss of time both were put on guard. It was Blinz, Calix's brother, who ruled the fight. At their signal, the warriors began to accumulate energy. The level of the two rose enormously. Soon, most of the Saiyajin, attracted by that, formed a large circle around them. Seira herself approached to detect such amount of force. She immediately sat next to Beruche and said in a tone full of respect.

-Your husband has a tremendous fighting force. He is almost as strong as our sovereign.

-Yes, he is not bad. - Bertie smiled without disguising her pride.-

             While the contestants began to exchange blows at an  impossible speed to follow for most of those present, the Saiyajin adopted a serious expression and declared leaving the girls astonished,  Bertie in particular.

-I'm thinking of challenging you for him.

           

The aforementioned opened widely her eyes. Both Cooan and Petz who were next to her paled. Although Beruche herself was the one who reacted, and asserted decisively, fiddling with her stone of justice.

-Of course, I was not going to give him to you without a fight ...

            Now it was the Saiyajin who stared at her rival with a stern expression that, after a few moments, softened with a slight smile to respond.

-It was a joke, ma'am. I already have my suitor, who beat me in combat.

-Well, fortunately for your sister that was like that! - A relieved Emerald sighs whispering to Petz who nodded in solidarity.- I would not like to have to face Seira ...

            Of course, no one dared to challenge that woman! They had had occasion to see her fight on Earth and she had nothing to envy her male colleagues. She even seemed to be stronger than Diamond, Sapphire, Ail or Nephrite. At that moment, those thoughts were interrupted. Setsuna herself went there. Seira immediately bent one knee saluting ...

-My lady. Welcome. You arrive in time to enjoy a good fight.

- Has everything gone well? - She wanted to know this by addressing her guardian.-

-I showed the guests some places in the city as you and the king ordered me.- The aforementioned replied.-

            Setsuna nodded approvingly as Seira stood up again. The now future queen of the Saiyajin wore a suit similar to her guardian, a ceremonial breastplate with a crown marked on its right side. A long green cape and a kilt. Under it some tights and dark boots above the knees. She greeted everyone smiling and declaring with apologies.

-I'm very sorry I was not there to receive you. I had things to prepare for tomorrow's ceremony. That's why I told Seira to accompany you.

- It's been great! We liked the city a lot. - Usagi affirmed.-

-Yes, it's a much quieter place than it seems. The only thing I would lack would be a sanctuary.- Rei agreed on this occasion.-

            The others came to express very similar observations. Although it was Haruka who gave a good look from top to bottom to her friend flattered, so much that made her blush.

-Wow, you're very pretty ...

-Thanks ... – Setsuna could say.-

-The Saiyajin clothing suits you very well. - Michiru agreed with a half-smile.-

-Yes ... those costumes of the space warriors have their charm.- Emerald who already seemed to be taking mental notes for some designs, asserted.- Something primary and wild ...

-They're not bad, but I prefer our uniforms. - Minako affirmed.-

-The truth is that here, fashion does not seem too demanding. But I like it because it is very functional. - Amanda affirmed not wanting to seem impolite. -

- Well, for once I come willing to vary the costumes. The truth is that I would not mind trying one of those armor. They seem comfortable and functional. - Haruka valued with an smile, making others imitate her in a funny way .-

            And to make her comment more explicit the warrior Uranus was taking off her sport jacket. However, she stopped when she saw a tall, dark  haired Saiyajin approaching them. Right after having exchanged friendly beats with Nephrite. He also came over greeting the girls and hugging Amanda.

-My ladies.- The warrior who was none other than Blinz greeted them. He had stopped for a few moments to arbitrate the fight. - Be welcome to New Vegeta. Now His majesty will come. He begs me to convey his regards.

             He rummaged those words, giving a respectful look to all of them, particularly to Haruka, whose jacket in hand, now marked her feminine attributes behind that shirt that had been left by all garment, along with her pants and shoes.

-Thanks Blintz.- Setsuna replied.- I´ll take care of this.

            For answer the saiyajin made a felt inclination to his sovereign and returned to see how the contenders were going. Then, he entrusted another warrior to take charge of refereeing in the fight. For their part, the women moved away and Uranus looked back at that guy, but not defiantly as she used to when someone stopped to observe her, rather it was with a tinge of surprise. The truth is that she was not used to a man looking at her that way. Now she also had a little longer hair and that helped to feminize her. It was Michiru, the one who, when they were already at a prudent distance, commented sarcastically.

-Wow, what in a weird way he looked at you!

- Are you jealous? - her companion smiled at the resigned sighs of the others, who already knew how it would end all that.-

- Do I really look like that to you? - The questioned smiled .-

-I have that impression. Yes. - A funny Haruka answered.-

-It could be.- Michiru replied in the same way.-

            For his part, Blinz watched them go and made a gesture to Seira, the woman approached him and the saiyajin asked her.

-Tell me. Do you know if that lady has any commitment?

-What? - Wanted to know his interlocutor.- Who are you talking about?

            When her fiancé's brother pointed at her from a distance to that tall blond woman, Seira shook her head declaring.

-I do not know if she has any men after her. But she maintains a strange relationship with her partner. - She completed looking at Michiru.- You know what I mean, don´t you?

-Well, yes. However, that would not be any impediment.- The boy replied.-

- Oh, really... - the saiyajin female smiled, moving the head to add.- She is a princess of her world. And she is a good warrior. At least for human canons. I must say that she and her companions have earned my respect, they are courageous and loyal.

- When it comes to you, that means a lot. That is just what I am looking for. Maybe I'll ask you to do me the favor of talking to her. - Her interlocutor said.-

-To talk  to her? - the guardian repeated with stupor .- Me?

And without saying any more words, Blinz left to resume his occupations, leaving Seira visibly surprised.

-Well, we must recognize that these humans have a powerful aura.- She said between perplexed and amused.- They are capable of attracting our men with tremendous ease ...

            In that moment Roy and Dariel were exchanging more hits, they dodged each other and disappeared reappearing at high speed. Both were fighting now converted into second level super warriors and the combat was very balanced. After a few more minutes, the two stopped and returned to their normal state. There was a lot of applause and cheers from the spectators. The Chancellor smiled broadly and his opponent did the same. Then they shook hands.

-It's been a good fight. - Dariel appreciated very satisfied.-

- Of course, my friend! – Roy agreed. -

            After that, they went to the members of the guest group. Lornd himself made an appearance, kissed his fiancée on the lips and addressed those who were there.

- Friends, we are honored to have you here. Soon we will celebrate a welcome banquet.

-That is the part that we like the most.- Nephrite replied making almost everyone smile.-

            The king of the Saiyajin did the same. His brother's friends were great guys. Honorable and loyal. People who could be trusted However, it was Mamoru who approached him and commented to him, making an aside.

-If you have a moment, I would like to talk to you.

            Lornd gave him a surprised look. Although he nodded, seeming to understand. He immediately ordered Dariel.

- Beware of guiding our guests to the great hall, once those who have participated in the battles have to refresh and change their clothes.

-Yes, Your Majesty. - He replied with a bow. -

At once Lornd followed his guest. Once outside the rest the saiyajin, Lornd looked at him inquisitively.

-The time has come.- Endymion affirmed smiling.- I hope that Setsuna and you are very happy.

-That is my greatest wish. - His interlocutor replied, adding, after a brief pause. - I know that she has you in great esteem, and I am not unaware that, in the past, there was something else between you.

-Trust me. Not for my part. - The alluded one refuted, adding with regretful tone.- You see. She was always a loyal and courageous guardian. As a worthy heiress of her lineage, she protected the space-time door by succeeding her elders in that task. However. Before that, she was one of my personal guardians. Together with my generals. One of them, you have him here ... Nephrite. The prince of the Four Heavens.

-And what exactly happened ?, Setsuna has never told me much about it.- The king of the Saiyajin wanted to know with patent interest.-

-That's why I wanted to have these words with you. Since when you came to visit our court, to request our visit in order to free Setsuna from her vows, we could not talk to you alone and me. - Responded his interlocutor .- I wanted to reassure you in that regard. Your fiancée is and has always been a woman of honor. She never told me how she felt about me. Although I could notice it. I will not lie to you she has always been very beautiful and has great qualities, any man would be attracted to her. But then I met Princess Selene, who is now my fiancée ...

-Selene? - Lornd was surprised, of course he would swear that her name was not that.-

-Yes- Endymion smiled, explaining.- In the Moon there was a tradition, the heiress princess was called Selene. And the queen was Serenity ... When the Kingdom of the Silver Millennium was destroyed Usagi, well, her incarnation, became the legitimate sovereign. Her name therefore changed.

- Strange habit. - His interlocutor valued.-

Although he did not really care about that, so he took interest in returning to the subject of the conversation. Endymion realized this and went on with his explanation.

-The fact is that Serenity and I fell in love, even when she was still Selene. Then we returned to reincarnate on Earth, like Usagi and Mamoru. Then our love resurfaced. Setsuna knew it and never did anything to try to get between us. She was and is very aware of the destiny that each one has. And for that very reason, she will be very happy to be your wife.

-But we'll only get married if she really loves me as much as I love her. - Lornd objected, sentencing .- I do not want to force her to something she did not want. And my own pride could not stand it. – He confessed with visible uneasiness. -

            In response, Mamoru placed one of his hands on the Saiyajin’s shoulder and instantly smiled declaring ...

-You know well what her feelings towards you are. And I think she has given you enough proof of her love.

            Endymion now remembered his arrival on the planet. Together with Usagi he had come a couple of days ago. After a week to recover from the last (at least for now) battle to defend the Earth. When they finally reached their destination they were received with all the honors. The Saiyajin gave them a warm welcome, as allies and friends. The planetary princesses, as they were titled the rest of the warriors, were housed in the best rooms of the Royal Palace. And of course, both he and Usagi were given the most luxurious ones. Although the Saiyajin were quite sober in general, the rooms were comfortable. Although that did not matter to them too much. What they did want was to go see the Royal couple. Lornd and Setsuna welcomed them and chatted with them. Soon the king of the Saiyajin excused himself saying that he should supervise some preparations for the ceremony. That left him, Usagi and Setsuna, time to talk. Next to them were a couple of Saiyajin ladies, Nilia and Moena, who cared for their future sovereign, and of course Seira. That tall, sculptural, dark-haired warrior, with short hair and wild jet-black eyes. Escorted by her, the former warrior Pluto. Setsuna was trying on her wedding dress. A beautiful white dress, which was topped by a ruby ​​belt with small keys hanging. Tribute, no doubt, to her former work as guardian of the temporary portal.

-You look beautiful, Setsuna. - Usagi complimented her, while she asked her boyfriend.- Do not you think so, Mamo-chan?

-Of course, you're going to be a beautiful bride. Setsuna - he could say this by making the bearer of such a dress, blush.-

-I feel a lot of responsibility and something of fear.- The young woman smiled.-

-Are you scared, my lady?-  Seira said in surprise, assuring her. - You must not fear anything. I will be by your side at all times to protect you. And I assure you that nobody would dare to attack you ...

            The others smiled. It was Usagi who commented to the guardian.

-I do not think she refers to that kind of fear ...

-How many types of fear are there? - Seira wanted to know that she did not seem to understand.-

- This is not a fear produced by a battle. - Setsuna commented with a half-smile. To add.- My anxiety is due to the desire to be at the height of my husband. To love him and always be faithful and loyal. And procure the happiness of my subjects. I want to be worthy of the work I'm going to do.

- In that case you should not fear anything. - The Saiyajin categorically, declared. - From what I have seen, I am convinced that you will do very well, Madam.

-Thank you. - Setsuna answered quietly, now addressing her guardian and the ladies, she asked. - If you excuse us for a moment, I would like to have a few words with my friends in private.

            Seira nodded, and after making a gesture with the hands of the ladies the three left after bowing to their sovereign. Setsuna then sighed longingly at her friends.

-I wonder. - She could say with dyes full of melancholy. - If this is my destiny ... why do I feel this way?

            Then she noticed Usagi's hand on her shoulder. No, it was Serenity this time who spoke. Her face was more serious and at the time she showed a sweet expression when she answered.

-Seira is right. You must not fear You will be a magnificent queen, and an invaluable ally. Much of what happens in the future will depend on you. Setsuna, we need you! Lornd needs you! And besides, I know that you love him as much as he loves you.

-Thank you so much, Majesty. - The aforementioned replied. -

            Serenity was watching her now almost maternally and with a look that showed some concern. Finally, she told her friend.

-We know perfectly well what it cost you to take this step. And we do not ignore that your self-denial and your sense of duty when fulfilling your tasks were always unimpeachable. But Setsuna, this is not a duty ... we only ask for an alliance. This very personal union has to be something that you have freely chosen.

            The bride returned a deep look from her vermilion eyes and it took a few moments to respond. With a tone that tried to sound resolved.

-I'm here because of my free will. Desiring to be worthy of this responsibility and also be happy in my new life ...

-You'll be very happy. Your future husband is a brave, honorable man with a good heart. He loves you and will be a great king with your help. I assure. – Mamoru asserted, now also speaking as Endymion, while he offered a red rose to Setsuna.

            Then Serenity, or perhaps now Usagi, took out a mobile phone and asked them both with a much more casual tone of voice.

-Look here. I'm going to take a picture of you. Chibiusa brought me this device of the future.

-From the thirtieth century? - Setsuna surprised, looking at that artifact. -

- Not from so far! - Her interlocutor laughed and nuanced. - She brought it from two thousand and fifteen, I think she told me so. This phone has a great camera! ... Now smile and be still ... Come Mamo-chan ... get close to P – Usagi riveted jovially, because that's how Pluto was sometimes called in privacy. With that affectionate name that Chibiusa put to her. -

            The boy nodded, standing behind the bride who was sitting and holding that pretty red rose in her hands. She also wore an immaculate suit with a jacket that had edges trimmed in gold. He placed his hands on her shoulders and they remained in the photograph. Usagi showed her pleased, adding ...

-Well, I'm going to show it to the others. They will love it ...

-I would prefer that you not do it.- Setsuna objected with some stiffness, to justify herself immediately.- I would like them not to see the dress until the ceremony.

-Well, what a fool I am! - Usagi smiled with a hand to the neck.- Well, I'm going to show it to Seira. That I can, right? ...

            Her interlocutor nodded, smiling amused. This Usagi!, the certain thing is that sometimes Setsuna did not know with whom it was speaking, with that crazy young girl, or with the future sovereign of Crystal Tokyo. Now she must be Usagi since she saw her leave the room, eager to find the guardian and show her that image. It was something to be seen, the rude Seira and the candid and funny little girl at school ... Usagi talked and talked gesticulating as she showed her that image and the odd other and the sturdy guardian just smiled slightly and nodding. Pluto sighed again and then realized that she was being watched closely by Mamoru, he smiled, taking one of her hands in his and affirming.

-I know what this means to you. And I can never thank you enough.

-Don't worry, my Lord. I am very happy. Really. - The young woman assured, who could not help but blush again.-

- Well, get used to not calling me Lord. As the queen of the saiyajin, only your king will be above you in dignity. - His interlocutor reminded her.-

            The girl nodded, she knew it too well. After those words Seira and Usagi entered. The guardian expressed her admiration for the elegant photography. In that the guests apologized leaving the bride who had to finalize some more things ...

           After remember that Endymion looked into the eyes of his companion. Lornd looked back and nodded, declaring ...

-I know she loves me, but I also know that her heart has not forgotten so easily. You can believe me, my friend. Not all the warriors of space are as insensitive and gross as we seem.

            And with that, Lornd left to return with the other guests ... leaving a thoughtful Endymion ...

The sovereign of the space warriors remembered that comment he made to Serenity. It was a few days after they returned from Vegeta to Earth and that Setsuna resigned her position as guardian of the terrestrial sovereigns. Despite everything that happened and the example of courage and love that his fiancée offered him he was not stupid and was not blind. He had suspected something strange since he began to bond with his now-future wife. She told him things about her life just as he did with hers. After that, he had the chance to see the sovereign of the Earth and the Moon. What's more, they were able to spend a day visiting the Hikawa sanctuary, along with all the warriors, their brother Asthel and Lorein, (Asthel´s wife). As the custom was the warrior Mercury was playing with her friend Bertie at chess. It was a disputed game. The rest was talking about inconsequential issues and the two of them kept somewhat apart. Lornd then walked around the area and approached. Usagi herself joined him, and seeing both girls involved in that game, she confessed him funny.

- The truth is that they are two geniuses! I'm really bad at playing chess, I almost do not know how to move the pieces. I was beaten by Chibiusa when I was just a baby!

Her companion listened to her in silence. And he did not stop doing it when the girl added ...

-I suppose that for a space warrior like you, the simplest thing would be to disintegrate the enemy pieces, ha, ha ...

But his listener limited himself to a slight smile, and to the stupor of the girls he approached Bertie and commented ...

-Lorein, you're checkmate in about four or five moves ...

-What? - She was surprised by the confessed confessing without shame .- I do not know where you see that ...

-I think I do. - Ami commented with somewhat enigmatic tints.-

-It would be worth seeing someone capable of winning Ami-chan to chess.- Usagi declared with patent interest.-

-Please, Lornd.- Beruche then offered him, getting up from the site she was sitting.- You continue.

-No, I do not want to interrupt,-  the Saiyajin, who apologized immediately, replied. - I did not want to bother you.

-It's no discomfort.- Bertie insisted, she was genuinely stung in curiosity.- Come on, I do not think Ami-chan cares.- She righted herself watching her friend who smiled.-

-It is not a bother at all. It will be a pleasure for me.- The girl confirmed.-

Finally Lornd accepted. They were both face to face before the board. Ami moved placing the Saiyajin in an awkward position. However, he knew how to defend himself and counterattack. Both Usagi, and especially Bertie, were impressed. And it was after six movements when the space warrior moved piece and declared.

-Checkmate!

Ami herself could not believe it, that guy was really smart and very good at playing.

-We'll play a game from the beginning.- She said.-

-It will be an honor for me. Your Highness. - His interlocutor affirmed, after he stood up and made a slight inclination of the head to move away.-

Usagi followed him as her friends relocated the pieces, ready to start a new challenge.

-Well, you've left me really impressed. - The girl said with affable tone .- I hope you forgive my comment from before ... but it did not seem like you knew how to play chess so well ....

-Appearance can deceive, Majesty. You know it very well. - The warrior smiled, which he affirmed without modesty.- Although, of course, I'm still not as skilled a player as you are.

-I? - the girl laughed pointing to herself with a hand to her chest.- I already told you that I have no idea ...

-That's why you offer me a queen in exchange for apparently nothing, then. - Lornd retorted, leaving her stunned. To explain. - There are only two types of players that would do something like that. Those who really do not know how to play. Or those who are consummate players and have calculated a long-term strategy to master the game. And you, Majesty, forgive me, but I do not think you belong to the first group.

Now his interlocutor gave him a serious look. That was not Usagi anymore. It was clear that the young woman had gotten the message. For a few moments none spoke, until finally she was the one who whispered.

-I understand ... you think we're sacrificing one of ours as if she were a pawn in some kind of game.

-I did not say a pawn.- He corrected her, emphasizing with a slightly accusatory tone.- But a queen ... one that you could move at your whim on the opposite board.

-I understand your misgivings.- Serenity sighed resignedly to add.- Although I assure you that it is not what you believe.

-And what do you think I believe? – The saiyajin inquired sharply.-

The girl did not respond immediately, she just walked a little longer as he walked beside her. Finally, Serenity stopped watching her friends at a distance, among them, the group that formed Setsuna, with Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru. They seemed to talk animatedly of something. It was when the girl declared.

- You possibly are imagine that we are playing some kind of game with you. And you think that all this has been a kind of trick to attract you. Do I go well so far? ...- She asked, not without a tinge of absolute confidence that it was like that.-

-I cannot deny it.- Her interlocutor admitted facing his intense brown color with the deep and celestial of her.-

-Well. - Serenity smiled to continue looking him straight in the eyes and affirm.- In part you are right. We wanted to attract you ... but you are wrong in the other. It's not about playing a game against you. On the contrary, both you and we are on the same side of the board. Playing with white pieces.

-And who manages the black pieces then? - The saiyajin inquired.-

-I wish we knew! – His interlocutor sighed who now even hardened his tone somewhat to sentence with authority.- And what is more, Lornd. I would never sacrifice one of my friends in that way. For no reason. If you think so, then you do not know me as much as you imagine. Never forget that!

Now it was he who took a moment to pronounce a word. When he did, he asserted with a clear tone of respect.

-You are a great queen indeed. I beg you to forgive me if I have offended you, it was not my intention.

And that said he left, leaving her there, lost in her reflections. The rest of the day passed normally. When Serenity met again with the others she acted again like that crazy Usagi. Lornd himself could not understand why these personality changes. What did she pretend to be a naive young girl? He remembered and meditated on that again as he walked down the corridor of his palace. Presto to meet with his brother and the others ...

On the other hand, Setsuna was chatting with her friends after the fight starring Roy and Dariel. She formed a lively group together with Seira, Beruche, Emerald, Cooan and Petz. They were remembering some experiences. In that Haruka and Michiru joined them.

-Good. I see you very entertained. What were you talking about? If it is not indiscretion. – The Uranus Warrior wanted to know, who wore her classic pantsuit and white jacket with frills on the front.

-We remembered the last time that Setsuna happened to visit us.- Bertie answered.-

-It sounds interesting ... - Neptuno commented, with a floaty turquoise blue long skirt dress.-

-Yes. Especially when we went to that restaurant.- Her old companion commented looking at Seira and smiling.

And as the new arrivals and the rest seemed anxious to know what was going on, Setsuna told them ...

            She was walking with his future sister-in-law, Bertie and her guardian, Seira, on a busy street in New York, preparing to go shopping. Bertie had already been told that she and Roy were invited to the coronation ceremony. Lornd had gone to see his brother and told him. To celebrate that event, Beruche wanted to take them for a walk around the city. Between her and Setsuna they chose for Seira a complete wardrobe. The saiyajin did not leave her astonishment when observing those strange human customs. When they finally finished, armed with enough bags and packages, they went to a rather expensive restaurant. When they arrived, the maître smiled at them in a very polite way, he knew Beruche, who, being a regular client, had made the reservation.

-Oh Bienvenue! Come in, Madame - he greeted Bertie with a strong French accent kissing a hand - Mademoiselles - he inclined his head in a very polite way to Setsuna and Seira while informing them. - Your reservation is ready, - he made a slight inclination more and pointed with one of his hands to a table located in a corner. -

-What did he say? - Seira asked with surprise expression to her sovereign. - Madmoa ... what the hell? ...

-Mademoiselles, it means ladies, it's in French, in these places those expressions are used because they are more refined ...- Setsuna explained to her as some waiters pushed the chairs away for them to sit down. -

- I can do it by myself! – The female saiyajin said in a somewhat rude way to the astonished waiters -, these guys have believed that we have no strength to move these chairs, it is absurd ...

-No Seira, - Beruche smiled funny -it is just a sample of courtesy to customers ... do not get angry, let them do and do not worry about anything ...

-Okay, I'm only interested in them bringing the food, I'm starving! ...- the saiyajin crossed her arms crossed and looking impatiently at her empty plate. -

- Right, now they will bring it, do not worry.- Setsuna replied, trying hard not to laugh -...

            Sure enough, the solicitous maître approached them with three copies of the menu of the restaurant, distributed them on the table and told them ...

-Can I allow myself to recommend a Creme du Orange, Pate de Crevillón or Cesar salad? ... That as a first course, as a second. Head of wild boar with green sauce, duck with orange or baked sea bream ...

-Thanks, now we think about it and we tell you ...- Bertie answered smiling at Seira's expression when listening to that guy. -

-As you like, Madame ... meanwhile allow us to give them some snacks from the house ... - he clapped his hands and two waiters came to the table with a variety of canapés. - Garçon s'il vous plait ...

- Hey you! - Seira snapped at the Maître who looked at her somewhat perplexed. - Bring the food, what you said before ...

-Of course mademoiselle, but first you must decide the first course ...- The man objected something confused - ...

-What else does the first one? Bring them all, that we are hungry .- She urged, the maître was watched her with his eyes sized as plates, Setsuna and Beruche could not suppress their laughter. - Come on ... we do not have all day long!

-Did you care, bring them, - Bertie said, unable to stop laughing - hi, hi, hi ...

            The astonished maître nodded so he ordered the waiters, they went quickly to the kitchen. Seira meanwhile ate the canapés ...

-Madam, this is very good, - she assured as she chewed on two cheeks while she took the tray with one hand and approached her sovereign, offering - eat some of this ...

And without further ceremony, The saiyan ate one after another, her companions were laughing while other astonished customers looked at the Saiyajin woman.

-Seira, eat more slowly, please. The main courses have yet to arrive. - Setsuna said when she could control a little of her hilarity -...

-Don't worry, my Lady... this is nothing.- The guardian affirmed.-

            When the aforementioned dishes arrived, the Saiyajin honored her words and swallowed, one after the other, the salad, the pate, and the cream. The waiters watched her with their mouths open while she repeated constantly.

-More, please, more please, this is very good and that other, I do not know what it's called ...-She  pointed to the remains of the sources almost compulsively while it seemed to make an effort to chew faster beating blows on the chest to lower the food. -

-Oui ... madeimoselle. - The astonished maitre, who was pale when he saw her, just could muster.

            The second courses had the same fate. Beruche had now stopped laughing and watched completely hallucinated. Despite she knew the appetite of Lornd and Roy, but she did not think that a Saiyajin woman could swallow like that. She and Setsuna ate more discreetly as they watched the show. When the maitre, absolutely overwhelmed, approached the table, Seira placed her hands behind the back of her neck and lounging as much as possible in the chair outlined a broad smile to the blush of her companions.

-This is very good, even if I have such strange names, how good I have been! ...- the saiyajin declared while she felt her gut with satisfaction.-

-I'm happy, young lady- the maître replied forgetting his pretended French accent to dare to ask - then, do not you want dessert?

- Dessert? - Seira repeated wanting to know with sudden interest. - You mean fruit and other sweet things that taste even better than this?

She already knew what desserts were, she had learned the day before that she had eaten at Emerald's house, who was still doing accounts with the catering service. And what she said there was not too hungry! So, with obvious interest and expectation, she asked.

-How many of those do you have?

-So, well ... - the embarrassed individual guessed right. - Rice with milk, flan, ice cream of three tastes, chocolate mousse, custard, varied fruit, frosty ...

-Take them all...- Seira asked smiling as she felt her now bulging belly to affirm .- I think I still have a hole in the stomach.

- All of them? ...- the head waiter moaned in an alarmed and astonished voice. -

-Sure, - she said urgently. - Come on, before I fell asleep ...

That guy could only nod out quickly to order them. Both Setsuna and Bertie were now looking at their dinner companion with wide-open eyes ...

- Won´t all that be excessive, Seira?, - Her  sovereign warned her with concern - .... I suppose that even a warrior of the space will get full if he or she eats so much ...

-It is true, Madam, I remember when, as a child, I ate several rations followed by Gual. Similar to what they call custard here, although they are much thicker. Well, I ate so much that I was almost unable to move for a couple of days, ha, ha!

            Her interlocutors nodded with evident gestures of amazement. Finally the desserts arrived and the saiyajin was eating them one after another among samples of delight.

-Uuhh ... how rich! ... this one is not bad either ... Ah! good ... Oh! I love this one ...

-Of course, it seems that she was doing something other than eating. - Bertie whispered to her future sister-in-law, making her could not stop laughing, more when she added. - She moans like ... you know ...

-I do not want to imagine her in that other moment! - The funny Setsuna whispered.-

Hearing that, Bertie also started to squirm while Seira continued to gobble up. At last they finished eating and after paying an astronomical account they left the restaurant. Now Beruche was looking at the bill with her eyes pinpoint, without laughing. However, Setsuna encouraged her, by taking a look at that proof of the waste disbursement.

-Don't worry, we'll pay you what we've eaten ...

-No, please,- Her friend replied somewhat stiffly. - I invite you, it's fair, since you came to invite Roy and me to the coronation ...

-I thank you, princess. You are very kind. Now I just need to do some exercise - Seira who was still feeling her stomach, said. - so I'll digest this better ...

            They walked down a narrow street and somewhat away from the merrymaking, Beruche somewhat worried, she was aware that, without hardly realizing it, they had left the most elegant and crowded area of ​​the city and had entered the territory of the street gangs. The radical change in decoration confirmed it, the street furniture was quite deteriorated and could be seen painted and garbage scattered everywhere. Her companions realized that and her guide warned them with haste.

-I'm got distracted and I've taken you out of the safe area, we'd better get back, because of these places you should be careful.

            Both Seira and Setsuna smiled, Beruche immediately realized the absurdity of their prevention. To make good her words, a group of guys dressed in short T-shirts that had a picture of the face of a horned devil and red in the chest. They soon surrounded the three women and the one that seemed their leader told them in a rather cocky way.

-Hey !, Santa Klaus must have been wrong, look what a three girls he has left us, wow! ...

-Yes. - Another one of them seconded. - We can share them ...

The one who looked like the leader approached Seira looked at him indifferently without showing any fear, the guy in question was much shorter than her, but that did not seem to matter to that bully. More when that individual said her with smiling expression.

-You are very tall, doll, but that does not matter when you're lying down. Also, I have something very big ...

-Your stupidity? – The female saiyajin asked dispassionately making both Bertie and Setsuna smiled with visible delight .-

-Wow ... you have personality. I like that, - that guy replied, adding with a lascivious tone. - But when you see my tool you will be impressed.

- I doubt it - the aforementioned refuted looking that guy up and down in a  funny way, so she added.- Although, I would like to see if that is true ...

-Well, you'll see right away- the leader said smiling -...

-Hey Seira. - Setsuna said softly. - If you try to do something, defend yourself weakly, just push him. - I do not want you to kill anyone or stain our clothes with blood or anything disgusting. Keep in mind that they are models that belong to the Emerald collection.

-As you say, Madam, ...- the woman nodded.- I'll be careful.

Meanwhile, and oblivious to those words, the leader of the band approached and touched Seira's leg, raising his hand to the top of her thigh, the Saiyajin did not flinch.

-It seems that you like it ... ha, ha! - the guy gasped and looked at the rest of his gang with satisfaction, adding presumptuously.- Guys, I still have my magic touch with women ...

           

Encouraged by that demonstration by his boss, another one of those individuals approached Setsuna and tried to touch her for the same purposes. Then yes, Seira reacted. Grabbing his arm and breaking it without effort to the amazement of other gang members.

-The queen must not be touched,-  she warned as she let the individual go who howled in pain holding his broken arm.-

-Wow. Have you heard, guys? - the boss said. - The other is a queen, they must be those masochistic girls who are going to make out among them. Well let's dethrone it! That's how we will be the kings

And at his signal all approached with very sinister intentions, but Setsuna did not flinch, only warned them with an indifferent tone and even something resigned in her voice.

-I think you're going to look for problems. If I were you I would leave now that you can still walk.

            Ignoring that warning, one of them tried to grab Beruche, who gave him a quick and forceful kick in his parts for an answer, that infuriated the rest of those guys.

-Come, for them! - the leader ordered indicating his men.- Do what you want with the other two, but the highest one is for me ...

            All attacked the girls with the intention of abusing them, but rather it was the other way around. As Setsuna and Beruche approached, they dodged and rejected them with powerful kicks and punches that toppled the aggressors. Without having to resort even to invoke their powers. The gang members could not believe it. Then Seira intervened indolently, throwing through the air several meters to everyone who she grabbed. In a few seconds everyone was unconscious except the leader. He looked with eyes as big as plates the incredible scene. He was already quite frightened and those feelings increased when the space warrior approached him with slow steps and a certain appearance of reluctance.

-Hey, take it easy girl, it was a joke ... you're not going to bother about something like this, right? ...- he stammered completely paralyzed by fear.

            Setsuna indicated to her guardian when the saiyajin arrived next to the frightened individual and lifted him by the neck effortless with just one hand.

-Remember it, do it gently ...

 Nodding with a malicious smile Seira replied.

-Yes Madam, but I do not know if I can control myself enough. Humans are very weak ...

-Please, please, leave me on the floor. I'll leave and I will not bother you again,- the leader of the decimated gang members pleaded, trembling and sweating visibly. -

-What a coward!- Seira answered reluctantly - you do not deserve that I stain my hands with you ... - the thug nodded in relief although perhaps that was premature, given that his interlocutor declared with indifference .- So there you go .- And without more ceremonial she threw him against some garbage cans that must have been about twenty meters making him land headfirst inside one of them.- Well, we can leave if you wish, my ladies - she declared shaking her hands with a smile of satisfaction.-

-Yes, we'd better get back already- Beruche intervened in a funny voice because of the scene she had witnessed.- It's going to be late for us.

            So the three of them moved away from there, with the moans of the background of those guys and the sound of a voice drowned inside the cube, which demanded that somebody take him out of there at once ...

            The boys meanwhile had not wasted their time either. Calix, accompanying Lornd, they had gone along with Roy and Diamond to a bar and there they had a light snack. Well, for some saiyajin was light, for the rest of those who were at the bar watching them was something incredible. Between the three space warriors they had almost finished with all the existences. Diamond could not believe it either. But he had to do it when he and Roy were presented with the bill. When they finished they went back to the Malden house, there they talked while they watched television.

-So you and Seira are engaged, - Roy said addressing Calix - I'm very happy for you, boy ...

-Thanks Your Highness - he replied without being able to hide his joy to tell them. -The king made me to endure a hard training but it was worth it.

-I told you.-  Lornd said in a satisfied tone, - it only took a little effort on your part.

-That Seira is a very remarkable woman.-  Diamond stated and added.- In order to dominate a female like that you must be very strong.

-She is not as she seems, - Calix replied, by his tone, he evidenced that he was very much in love when relating. - She only acts like that to defend her principles and her people. Deep inside, she is a very good girl and has feelings like anyone, it happens that she does not like to show them.

-That's true, Saiyajin women only show what they feel in privacy. But very rarely in public, like men, these with more reason and only on important or special occasions. - Lornd added. -

-I'm also a saiyajin and instead of that I like to show my feelings, especially grabbing Bertie and ...- he smiled and the others looked at him complicity doing the same. -

- Here you have a very relaxed life, Asthel. You can afford those luxuries. - Lornd replied between smiles -...

-Don't think like that, elder brother - his interlocutor, reminding him.- We've also  have had a really hard times on many occasions ...

Lornd had to give that to his younger brother and they all smiled. When they heard a whistle coming from Diamond. He apologized and took out a portable phone ...

-Yes, Diamond speaking?...

            Parallel to all these events, at one of the observatories of the Masters Corporation numerous points had been detected on the radar screen. Because of their distance, they had to be beyond the orbit of the Moon. But they came very quickly and in regular formation, that ruled out the hypothesis that they were meteorites. Mimet and Daniel were on duty at the weather station. She noticed something very strange, a group of those alleged meteors separated from the rest and headed straight for New York City. They immediately telephoned the boys ...

-Yes, tell me, Diamond Lassart to the device.- His face relaxed and he smiled.- Hi Mimet, tell me what's wrong? - However, listening for a few moments his expression became very serious now. - Understood, do not worry, we'll investigate.

Seeing the curious face of the rest, he explained what she had told him.

- I already said that the tranquility would not last us long - Roy sighed resigned. - It does not fail ...

-We'll have to check that- Lornd intervened.- Unfortunately it seems quite familiar ...

            The four went to the headquarters of the Masters Corporation, from where they followed the evolutions of those points. There, Mimet tried to establish the number of objects that were heading towards the city. As an expert in technology, she approached Kaori's position to ask him.

-It seems they are many, do you have any idea what they can be? ...

-We have no idea, - Kaori answered with a sigh. - Only small dots can be seen from here. You could put into operation that invention of yours, the digital camera.

-Yes, I think it could be a great help. - Mimet smiled – wait a minute, I'm going to ask Daniel to help us, - so she ran to look for him while Kaori tried to clear the signal of interference. -

            Roy was transported next to her at that moment, with him Diamond and Sapphire appeared. Lornd and Calix reappeared soon after. For their part they had gone for Bertie, Seira and Setsuna. Transporting with them, they had located them in Beruche and Roy's house, after explaining what was happening, they agreed to accompany them.

-What's happening? - Setsuna asked, quite interested. -

-As far as I know, strange objects are invading the airspace - Sapphire answered.-

- One moment, now we will know. - Mimet replied that she had returned with Kaori. – I´ll connect my camera right away...

After making some adjustments with a kind of square that had some panels that were illuminated in various colors and connect it to the radar screen, the points of it became larger and began to draw silhouettes. They seemed like living beings advancing at great speed. At the sight of them Lornd let out an exclamation of disgust.

-Damn it! I imagined it. They are mercenaries of Gralas, I'm afraid we're going to have big problems ...

-What will they look for here? - Diamond asked in a rather naive way.-

-Nothing good, - Roy replied, asserting. - Those guys can just find a fight.

-Very well, then you have come to the right place. My Lord. With your permission we are going to beat them up! – Seira said, addressing her sovereign with a half-smile.-

-We must take things calmly.- Calix suggested.-

-It's true.- Setsuna agreed that she objected in a more analytical way. -We do not know how many they can be or their combat potential.

In fact, she was already speaking like another saiyajin, all except Seira, Lornd and Calix looked at her in surprise. At last, the fiancée of the sovereign of the space warriors told them.

-I think we should call my partners, they will want to know what is happening.

-I'll take care of it- Kaori answered. -

            Once Dr. Tomoe's assistant notified the sailors, Roy, Lornd, Calix and Seira went to intercept these individuals. After flying only a few minutes they discovered that they had left a trail of destruction, houses burned down, demolished and panicked by the population. Roy was transported back to the base to tell them what happened.

-We must ask for help, the thing is serious, those bastards devastate any place they arrive.

            At that moment the sailors appeared all united by the hands and forming a circle.

- Here we are, guys, we are ready to take action! - Usagi proclaimed. -

-Thank god that you have arrived- his old companion said with relieved expression.- Now let's go ...

-Hey, Setsuna. - Rei said, looking at the outfit she wore, which the former Pluto warrior had already changed into her Saiyajin queen clothes. - Then it's true what you said when you resigned ...

- You are the queen of Space warriors! - Minako added with a surprised face.-

-Officially they have not crowned me yet. That's why I came. It's a long story - the aforementioned replied- but now there is no time for that. I'll tell you later. Hold your hands with me, come on, there's a rush ... - Setsuna indicated them and the sailors formed a circle again, but this time with their friend inside of it. - Let's move on! - So, using the sailor teleport they reappeared next to Lornd and the others. -

Roy in turn returned with his instantaneous translation next to them.

- I do not like it - Calix declared while it tried to look for the way that could have followed the minions of Gralas.-

-Calix, you and Seira will head towards the northern part. Setsuna and I will go east. – Lornd commanded. -

-With all due respect, my Lord.- The Saiyajin female said.- As guardian of the queen my duty is to be with her.

-Now it will not be necessary. I protect her in person.- Her king replied.-

-Yes. Do not worry. I'm save. - Her queen agreed. -

            Seira bowed respectfully. If it was a direct order from their monarchs there was nothing more to say. So she prepared to obey with his partner.

-We can go to the west- Makoto suggested.-

-Ok, I accompany you. - Roy offered himself.- I hope that Diamond, Sapphire and Bertie will locate the other Justiciaries ...

The others had already left each one by their respective ways. Roy and the sailors decided to do the same. Those who first made contact with the enemy were Calix and Seira. Flying over buildings that seemed intact suddenly were attacked with bursts of energy that could deflect without problems, at once many people dressed in a kind of combat armor flew to them

-These fools believe that with such pathetic attacks they will be able to defeat us, - Seira furiously snapped. - Now you will see! - And with great speed, she launched several energy rays that eliminated a few adversaries.-

- Let's get rid of them soon and return as soon as possible with their majesties - Calix agreed while doing the same thing.-

            An invisible punch then reached the warrior's face, he was thrown to the ground crashing on it. The crater that opened with his impact it completely destroyed a street. Seira tried to discover where the attack came from but she could not see anything. When she wanted to realize it, a blow had been placed in her stomach that threw her against a building, but she managed to avoid the shock. When she looked to the side she discovered a kind of chameleon silhouette that was confused with the walls of the houses or the same air.

-Damn it, what's that? - She spat the phrase angrily. At that moment Calix had already recovered and was next to her. - Where have you gotten?

- Are you okay, honey? - He asked worried and Seira looked at him with a surprised face asking in turn .-

-What if I'm fine, what the hell did you call me? ...

-I said that if you were okay, honey ... - he repeated something worried.-

-My name is Seira- she replied confused to ask on her part, not without a certain uneasiness.- Is it that your head has been damaged or what? ...

-No, - the surprised boy could say in turn to explain to his interlocutor. - It's just an expression they use here, to refer to their couples. Roy calls his wife like that and our king ...

-I already know how our king speaks !, Calix. - she cut off, somewhat irritated now to exhort, - stop foolishness. We have to discover who has attacked us.

            Her perplexing interlocutor merely nodded. Meanwhile, the mysterious figure approached at great speed towards their position, to disappear immediately between a brick wall. Both space warriors reacted by separating and managed to avoid a beam of energy that pulverized the building behind them.

-Show your face if you dare! - she demanded with a powerful cry -... damn coward ...

While insulting him, she tried to locate him with her search engine, although her fiancé did not activate it and only seemed to look at the horizon. After her initial surprise, she indicated.

-Calix, put on your energy detector, so you will never locate it.

-No Seira, that does not help, it's better to detect his aura - he argued.-

- His aura? .. How are you going to do it without the search engine? - She was surprised.-

-The King taught me ... it's very useful, you'll see, - by way of demonstration the Saiyajin closed his eyes and pointed towards a nearby wall while shouting.- There ...

            In a reflex act Seira threw a beam of energy that literally disintegrated the wall, but that figure, which in fact was hiding in it, eluded it jumping to the ground. He had a humanoid appearance. The fact is that when he perched on the ground he adopted the tone of the sky, the two Saiyajin watched in astonishment.

-What the hell was that? - Calix asked loudly. -

-I only know that it is something that we have to eliminate.- His partner said convinced of it.-

            The figure was thrown into the counterattack, Calix could stop a barrage of blows. Seira went to his aid hitting what looked like the torso of that entity that backed down by the crash stamping against the dashboard of a car that burst with the collision. But that being recovered immediately. With an amazing speed attacked Seira hitting her in the face, her nose bled as a result of the impact. Calix tried to counterattack but that silhouette moved very quickly avoiding his blows.

-It will not be as easy as I thought - Seira admitted while she touched her the wound.-

            So she signaled to his partner and both became super warriors. At the same time Lornd and Setsuna were flying towards the center of the city. People fled scattering in all directions, panic was general. They could see explosions that were spreading between the buildings and quite a few silhouettes uniformed with chain mail that launched energy beams to provoke them. Lornd decided to intervene quickly and did the same thing by eliminating enough of those beings. Those who eluded the attack counterattacked with ferocity by jumping on them. Setsuna was shot with energy that she dodged with good reflexes, attacking her aggressor in the same way. Lornd engaged in a fight against several alien-looking beings that looked like good fighters. While she, invoking her scepter, gave a blow to his enemy, knocking him out of combat. In turn, Lornd became super warrior eliminating without difficulty the rest.

-Do you think there will be more? - his companion gasped.-

-We'll know right away, - he replied. -

-Of that I'm sure...

            They heard a voice behind them that preceded a powerful attack with a bolt of energy. The king of the Saiyajin reacted in time to put Setsuna aside by wrapping her in a protective energy bubble while he received the impact. When the light and debris that Lornd's attack had caused, bruised but no serious damage, dissipated, he rose.

-Who are you? - He asked.

He was addressing a humanoid figure who was swinging a long tail on his back and whose features were not recognizable as they were among the thick smoke caused by the explosion ...

-That was the question that I had been expecting from an ignorant Saiyajin ... - the stranger said contemptuously as the smoke cleared.

At last he could see it clearly. He had a humanoid body as they had guessed only by the figure, but of a color between white and pink, with no trace of hair anywhere. His head was round and not too big, with two set eyes, a small nose and a malignant smile. He moved his long tail again as he crossed his arms and declared with a certain sarcasm in his voice something metallic.

- I took a long time to see what the legendary Space Warriors were like. And I'm disappointed now.

-Well, we are their kings. - Lornd replied proudly. - I am Lornd, son of Dronaos and Alisan, who are you?

-Ha! - That creature exclaimed and looked at his adversary with enough contempt while answering. - I think you will not get to know ...

He disappeared then from his sight and reappeared trying to hit him but the saiyajin was also very quick and managed to elude the attack to counterattack in turn, being also dodged.

-So you want to play. - Lornd commented with a slight smile.-

-I see that at least you are fast, this will be much more fun than I imagined.- That individual asserted.-

-You will not say the same when I'm done with you. -The saiyajin replied haughtily.-

            Setsuna, who was no longer locked in the protective bubble, attacked the strange being with a bolt of energy. But this creature merely deflected it with a hand, throwing it against a wall that was destroyed immediately.

-This is going to like me. It will be very funny when I annihilate you - That creature declared amused.-

- we'll see that - the girl replied in a very defiant way.-

            Meanwhile, Roy, the sailors and the newly incorporated Tuxedo, immediately arrived at a war zone. People fled in terror in all directions and the warriors tried to calm those who could. They heard screams and bellows approaching their position. Following these a numerous group of uniformed figures with a kind of armor destroyed everything in their path. As soon as they saw them they went towards them with unfriendly intentions.

-Form a circle. - Haruka indicated to her companions that they immediately prepared to do it.-

- They're on us! - Michiru warned concentrating her energy. - We're going to reject them ...

            A furious mob of warriors began to attack them with energy bolts, swords, axes and various blows. The sailors had to leave all kinds of aesthetic concessions aside and respond blow by blow and attack by attack. Roy tried to help them but he was also attacked by two rather rough-looking individuals.

-Prepare to die! - one of them, short green hair and bluish complexion, snapped. -...

-It's not my turn yet, cretin. Better die yourself earlier. - Roy replied that he became a super saiyajin and started beating them both.

            The fight seemed to be pretty even, the other guy, with red hair and yellow complexion attacked him with a sword of energy. Roy dodged hurriedly the blows that threatened to split him in two. The sailors on the other hand also fought with boldness. Two of those guys pounced on Makoto who rejected them with two karate kicks. Haruka hit another in the face. Tuxedo bombarded them with dozens of explosive roses that only stopped them for a moment. While Ami and Minako fell wounded by the attacks. Usagi issued her Spiral Heart Moon Attack, invoking only her super sailor status. She managed to reject a cloud of enemies but this was only a slight respite so they could recap.

-Ami and Minako are wounded, - Rei warned worried - the others are very tired. We must open a gap and get out of here ...

-Yes - Haruka agreed while trying to catch her breath- and quickly, they are regrouping ...

- It will be necessary to gain time. – Michiru added, invoking her attack of Deep submerge sea, and throwing it against the enemy. -...

-Rei, Makoto, take  to Ami and Minako and retreat - Usagi ordered.- Haruka, Michiru and I will cover you ...

The warriors proceeded immediately, looked at the sky waiting for some help but Roy was still engaged in the fight and did not seem to have it easy. The enemies returned to the charge and it seemed that they still did it with more viciousness. They threw a volley of energy bolts at them that hit Haruka in the arm. She screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Michiru hastily picked her up and tried to drag her with the help of Mamoru who was also wounded in the right arm.

-Come on, Uranus make an effort, - her companion urged desperately. -

-What are we going to do? - Makoto wanted to know very worried as she carried in her arms with a badly wounded and exhausted Venus Warrior.- We are going to be sweep with those energy rays ...

-We can only defend ourselves until the end – Sailor Mars snapped - come on! - She hooted, holding Ami with one arm and throwing her Burning Mandala with her free hand.

            Rei's attack knocked down a couple of opponents but the rest threw themselves against them. The warriors were too exhausted to be able to replicate. Roy had disappeared from their sight. But when everything seemed to be lost, a heavy attack disrupted the enemy's ranks. It consisted of fire arrows, ice crystals and energy rays, they were the Justicieras.

-Thank God, we have been able to see you in time- Beruche declared relieved arriving next to them.-

-Thank you, girls- Ami muttered weakly who, still supported by her partner Rei, wore a bulky emergency bandage on her leg.- Glad to see you.

-Come on, we have to get out of here, many more of them are coming. – Petz, who joined them with Emerald and Cooan, added.-

-It is true. We cannot hold them all for much longer. - The Lady of Fire affirmed.-

-We will have to take risks and run.- Neptuno affirmed.-

-We'll cover you.- The Lady of the Wind told them.- Come on, girls!

The sailors retreated while their friends protected them. Both Emerald and Cooan and Petz launched several bursts of energy and fire arrows that managed to contain the attack minimally. Beruche helped them with their waves of ice crystals and visibly worried, asked Usagi.

- Where is Roy? They told us that he had left with you ...

-I do not know, he was also attacked by those guys. They must have been very strong because it was difficult to him keeping them at bay.

            The Lady of the Ice kept throwing her bursts of crystals, however, her restlessness increased. Her boyfriend in turn had become a level two super warrior and had managed to eliminate one of them, the yellow skin, but the other was not easy to beat. He had also increased his power and his hair was now orange. He told Roy amusing and challenging.

-It will not be so easy to kill me, saiyajin ...

-Do you want to bet? - the aforementioned replied with the same tone.- You carrot?

            Both underwent a harsh punishment exchanging blows. They seemed to be at the same level of strength and run out at a similar rate. The battle promised to take a long time ...

            At some distance from there, Seira was tired of trying to hit that mysterious chameleon figure. Her partner was not much better either. He had to dodge an attack  who could feel thanks to his concentration and counterattacked hitting that silhouette, seemed to have damaged her.

-Finally! - Calix, exclaimed sentencing - now it's ours. ..

The warrior was going to finish it when another attack reached him knocking him down on the ground. Seira threw several bolts of energy in a random way and ran to help him.

-Damn it, how is it possible that bastard has been remade so fast? - She asked with obvious disbelief, used her visor then and was horrified to feel two of those energies. - It's two, Calix! Now I understand why they were so fast, get up and come!

            Her partner got up laboriously and together with the woman stood back to back. The two silhouettes took to the attack changing their color as they advanced through the terrain. Seira increased her energy and threw a ball against her, but her enemy dodged her, the Saiyajin smiled.

-Now! - She shouted and returned her energy ball that hit the back of her enemy.

            There was a shrill scream and the figure became visible, it was apparently humanoid, but with the viscous face of a kind of squid.

- You're horrible! - Seira snapped making a gesture of disgust. - The sooner we get rid of your ugly face much better ...

-Be careful - her partner warned her.- The other is still around here.

            Confirming the warning of her partner the other enemy fired several bursts of energy that threw the two Saiyajin on the ground, when they recovered from the impact the two beings had disappeared.

-Dammit! - Seira spat - Where will they have gotten? - She tried to locate them with her visor uselessly. -

-It would be better if we look for others, they might need us - Calix suggested and with the assent of his companion both left flying.-

            Roy was having a hard time but the same could apply to his opponent. They had even paused, a mutual concession to rest studying each other in the meantime. That individual declared in a triumphalist voice.

-You're lost !, Soon I will receive reinforcements.- In effect, his opponent felt how three more energies were coming towards there. - Now prepare to die ...

            A trio of beings similar to him came flying at great speed and stood at his side.

-What do you want us to do with him? - One of them asked Roy's rival.-

-It's all yours ...- he smiled. - Make him suffer as much as you can.

            However, to his relief, the golden warrior felt like three other energies, although this time very familiar, approached him and smiled. In a matter of instants, Nephrite, Diamond and Sapphire arrived .

-Have we lost anything of the fun? - Diamond asked sarcastically.-

-No, you arrive in time for the party.- His friend replied, really happy to see them.-

-Nephrite Saint Join always arrives on time. - He said this with a tone that seemed even funny.

-LOL! You do not know what awaits you, - the other one of the invaders just arrived. - Soon you will have wished you had not appeared around here.

-We will see. - Sapphire said very sure of himself.-

 The battle between the eight of them began with very hard exchanges of blows. Sapphire received a punch that broke his lip. In return, he gave his opponent a kick that jumped his nose. Diamond fought against the other newcomer, a cuckold individual with a long yellow mane, dodging each other and throwing blows with great intensity. Nephrite managed against another of greenish complexion and skin covered with something like spikes. For his part, Roy and his enemy had resumed the fight with the same virulence as before. But, at one point, the four strange wrestlers gathered away from the group of boys. They looked at each other as if confirming inaudible instructions and disappeared.

-Well! - Diamond commented with his sarcastic tone.- Now that I was beginning to have fun ...

I do not understand why they left. We had no advantage - Nephrite said thinking aloud.-

-It is a pity that Ail is not on Earth. His help would have been good. - Sapphire, who, despite everything, added led by a slight enthusiasm. – Although, perhaps you are wrong, they may have seen that we are stronger and have been afraid to continue.

-I do not think so, - Roy retorted, agreeing with Nephrite. - I do not like this at all. We'd better find the warriors, I left them fighting against enough enemies ...

            Diamond, Nephrite and Sapphire nodded and the four went to where their friends were, while they remembered having seen them for the last time ...

          For their part, the sailors and the Justicieras were beyond the limit of their forces, they could not take any more and the enemy continued to attack without quarter. Protected by a brick wall they resisted what they could. Then Beruche looked at the sky and saw two silhouettes approaching them.

-They are Seira and Calix - she shouted at them making signs with her arms.- Hey guys, we are here ...

            At once the two space warriors made a pass and razed the enemy's positions with energy bolts. The invaders that could survive escaped. Without losing a moment both newcomers settled next to the girls.

-Good thing we arrived on time. - Calix said, contemplating the sorry state of his friends. -

- We were about to fall - Cooan sighed, asking between surprised and almost desperate. - ... Can you know how many of those types there are? ...

-Many more for what we see. - Seira replied, wondering in turn. -... I'd like to know where the hell they came from.

-We have to find Roy and the others. - Beruche urged, worried about her partner.-

-Wait for us to recover a little- Makoto asked her still panting -... now we are not in a position to look for anyone ...

-You can rest. We'll go. - Calix offered. -

            But that was not necessary, Roy, along with Sapphire, Nephrite and Diamond, came along with the group. After embracing each other with their respective women, they exchanged impressions about what had happened.

-We have to find Setsuna and my brother – Roy declared. -

-Then come on. - Seira harangued,- there is no time to lose. The King and the Queen can be in difficulties ...

            And she was absolutely right. Lornd and that being were locked in a very close battle. They hit each other and threw energy beams and dodged so fast that Setsuna could not see them. What she did hear was a voice behind her back that looked feminine ...

-Don't worry, I'll keep you away from getting bored ...

            When she turned around she saw an alien-looking woman next to her. Her skin was green and her hair a striking orange. She wore a kind of tight tights and a protective bib. She smiled with a malicious gesture and looked at her rival with a pair of eyes without pupils. Suddenly she launched the attack without further ado. Setsuna managed for the first blow and both were also engaged in the fight.

-I'll end up with you pathetic human! - the alien sentenced while attacking with repeated kicks.-

-That we'll see! - replied Setsuna while counterattack and returned more kicks in turn .-

            Lornd and that other being fought bravely. The saiyajin was transformed into a level two super warrior, but that was not enough to defeat his opponent.

-You do not defend yourself bad! - that being screamed as he threw against his opponent a burst of energy rays - but not for long - and turning at great speed he seized the neck of the king of the saiyajin with his long tail for sentence with rejoicing.- Now I will finish with you ...

            The space warrior noticed how the pressure threatened to break his neck and tried to get rid of the grip with both hands. Planted his feet firmly on the ground and lifted his opponent by the tail crashing into the ground, while he managed to get rid. Panting, he struggled to catch his breath as his enemy tried to get up.

-You are stronger than I thought, maybe we should repeat this fight on another occasion, when we are in a more propitious place.- He declared the creature that, without giving Lornd time to reply, disappeared -...

            Setsuna was still fighting despite the blows that had fitted against a rival who also accused the fight. This one separated from her, perhaps to recover her breath a little, the young warrior thought, but she heard the alien sneer at her.

- We'll see each other again! - He looked at her with fury and disappeared. -...

            The space warrior and his partner gathered even trying to catch their breath.

-Why do you think they will have fled, Lornd? - she asked confused. -

-I do not know, - he said, - but I suspect it will not be good at all. Come on, we must meet with each other ... - the two rose in the air and went to the energy of their friends ...

The one who was Sailor Pluto before, remembered this with her friends when she saw her future husband approaching. The girls opened a corridor and after congratulating them they wanted to continue the story, however, Lornd told them.

-If you allow me, I would like to have a few words with my fiancée ...

            Bertie, Cooan, Emerald, Petz, and the others understood. They discreetly moved to another site to continue remembering ...

-Tell me Lornd.- She told him that she seemed to know what he was thinking when she asked him.- What worries you? I guess the same as me.

-Let's take a walk to the palace. - He asked her with a serious gesture.-

            The young woman walked beside him. The sentinels at once bowed respectfully in their wake. They entered heading to their private rooms. Once there, Lornd looked into her eyes and declared.

-It is not the style of my people, and even less mine, to walk around with detours.

-I understand. I also like to be direct. - She replied without looking away.- Say what you have to say then.

            Her companion took a long breath and released it slowly. Despite everything, it seemed that what he was willing to say disturbed him to the point of not daring to do so. Nevertheless he declared.

-When I met with your sovereigns, we agreed on an alliance. I asked them to release you from your oath of allegiance to the Millennial of Silver and Neo Cristal Tokyo. But maybe that could be misinterpreted. For them and for you.

-What do you mean? - The young woman asked him that now she did not understand what it could mean.

-When a king of the saiyajin gives his word always fulfills it. And I never offered my friendship in exchange for being able to espouse you, Setsuna ... If you have thought that is a mistake ... you are not a prize or a currency, nor a price to pay. I would never force you to do something like that and less against your will.

           His interlocutor then understood it. That was really embarrassing and terrible. If her fiancé had thought that, things could get very complicated between the two of them. The girl also sighed and could respond with a soft tone.

- My feelings towards you nothing have to do with that. In fact, I broke my oath when I agreed to be your wife and when I fought Seira in the challenge and won. And it was before you spoke with my sovereigns.

            Now it was he who looked at her skeptically and answered her.

-That's true. Unless something had happened ... Long before everything happened. And I am forced to ask you. I ask you to forgive me for having to do it. But in conscience I am obliged ... and not only because of what I may feel. In this case, there is something much more important than my personal circumstances, the future of my world.

            The girl did not blink, she was waiting for the question, what would be a really uncomfortable question that could put her relationship to the test and then, without further ado, Lornd wanted to know ...

-Did your sovereigns give you the order to become my wife when you accompanied me to this planet to win me as an ally?

-I get it. - Setsuna sighed lowering her head to mutter in a hurt tone even resorting to sarcasm. - You want to know if all this was prepared. If when we met on Earth I pretended to fall in love with you. If later, when that space warrior appeared out of nowhere and asked you to return to your world, lost until that very moment, I had orders to go with you. And if I had also been ordered to defeat a super-warrior like Seira, invincible until then and about I was unaware of her mere existence. As if that were so easy to get done ...

            But the Saiyajin, unmoved by her expression, took it gently by the shoulders and insisted.

-Yes ... that's exactly what I want to know. And before you answer, I can promise you this. My alliance and the friendship of my people with the Kingdom of the Millennial of Silver and the Land of Neo Crystal Tokyo will never be broken, regardless of your answer.

-Then you make it very easy to me.- The girl smiled weakly in a show of sarcasm to sentence already seriously .- The truth ... I cannot give you a yes, or a no. What you want is for me to talk about matters of State that, by oath, I am obliged to keep secret.

-That oath no longer exists.- He reminded her.-

-No ... it ceased to exist for anything I could do after being released from it. But not for the events that happened previously. In conscience and on my honor I cannot speak of those facts. I suppose you can understand it. - The girl replied, which, hardening her tone, added.- Although the real question is. Do you really love me, Lornd?

            The saiyajin looked at her stunned now. He had not expected that question. He just waited a few moments to make sure.

-Of course I love you. You know…

-In such a case, loving means trusting the person you love.- She declared that she sentenced him to look intensely in the eyes.- Me, Setsuna Meioh, descendant of the God Cronos. Princess of Pluto. That I have been Guardian of the Portal Space - Temporal and of the sovereigns of the Millennial of Silver and Neo Cristal Tokyo, I have renounced all that for you. And also, I fought in a fight that could be to death with a super saiyajin in order to be able to espouse you. What more evidence do you want from my love? ...

            Lornd nodded slowly, lowering his head and closing his eyes. He then turned away from her, turned with his back and after raising his face again affirmed.

- I must admit that you are a really admirable woman, like the rest of your fellow warriors and your sovereigns ...

            The girl held her breath. She really did not know what her fiancé might be thinking. As she had said, she could not reveal what she had spoken to their Majesties in the days leading up to her departure for Nuevo Vegeta. That's why she understood that he had that kind of doubts. But she could not show him her love more than the way she had done it. If that was not enough ...

-Well ... - He added turning again to meet his gaze to the young girl's while affirming.- The truth is that, since we have prepared all these preparations and invited so many people, it would be very discourteous to suspend the ceremony. Do not you think so? ...

Setsuna gave him a look full of disbelief. She even opened her mouth. What did he mean by that? ... But it was seeing the smile that appeared on her fiancé’s face and she relaxed. She could smile in turn relieved. More when he affirmed with affectionate tone, while he took her hands.

-I beg you to forgive me ... I do not want any other person to share my life. You are a strong woman, of honor and of word. Beautiful and compassionate, full of dignity and courage. I know you would be willing to give everything for me and for yours ... and I love you for that. I only wish you to be my queen, my wife, the mother of my children and my companion and friend during all the time that remains of our existence. Do you want to be? ... If you don´t want, that would be my greatest fear.

           

           For a single reply she approached him, her fiancé bent to reach her and they both kissed. Soon after they left to host the rest of the guests ... they also had to talk to some of them. Setsuna in particular went in search of the young secretary of Ian Masters, Jennifer Scott, who, along with her boss, had come to attend as a guest at the ceremony to be held the next day ...

For their part, the girls, to whom their partners joined, continued the narration of those adventures they had on Earth. After that battle, they remembered that, once they were all together and the situation seemed controlled, they decided to transport themselves to the headquarters of the Masters Corporation. Once there, they held a meeting to try to understand what was happening.

-In my opinion- Diamond said confidently- I think we have stopped their feet, they sure would not expect so much resistance.

-I'm not so sure.- Roy intervened with a suspicious tone of voice - it seems very strange ... that sudden flight when all the matches were equal.

-I agree with that, brother, - Lornd confirmed - Those guys knew what they were doing, they were good fighters and they did not seem like cowards.

-With your permission, My King.-  Seira intervened and suggested - ... they could have returned by reinforcements to their base and are preparing another more powerful attack right now.

-It is a possibility- the king of the saiyajin nodded.-

-I think we should try to locate them - Haruka intervened now.-

-So many enemies have to hide in a very large place.- Ami deduced that she was somewhat better from her injuries. More when eating a bean that completely recovered her. -...

-Well, try to find it, yes ... that should be our priority – Sapphire added . -

-It will not be so easy, assuming that a spaceship must be hidden behind the Moon ...- Daniel commented while typing some instructions on the console of his computer.-

-In that case we cannot locate it. - Mimet objected, but then she looked more attentively at her screen and discovered something.- Here I detect a large object that is orbiting a hundred thousand kilometers from Earth ... look I will expand it.

She did so and the enlarged image appeared on a giant screen where everyone could see her being stunned.

-It's huge! - Sapphire exclaimed impressed while pointing to the image of a giant spacecraft. -

-No wonder so many enemies fit. It must be the size of a city! - Mamoru commented astonished too.-

-Effectively. We have been able to obtain the image thanks to the telescopic cameras- explained Kaori. - The computer calculates that this ship must be about three kilometers in diameter.

In fact, the ship was a huge disk, Professor Tomoe and Daniel who were also there, were really shocked. Soon, Ian Masters himself and his secretary, Jennifer, joined them. The girl was commenting to the millionaire as they approached.

-The best thing is that I cancel the meetings with the shareholders and with the board ...

-Do not worry about it. - The guy who did not seem too worried, answered, more when he added .- I am convinced that everything will have been solved before. No need to cancel, I trust our friends.

-Thank you very much. You really honor us with that confidence. Surely your actions will go up. - Diamond smiled, not without sarcasm.-

The millionaire did not reply to that, he simply shook his head.

-The truth is that if we could enter that ship, the safest thing is that we could solve this not to take too long. – Nephrite said, weighing that possibility.

-The question is ... how are we going to get to her? - Roy asked reflectively.-

-It may be she who comes to us. - Diamond replied in a somewhat enigmatic way.-

-I do not like the idea of ​​having to wait crossed arms.- Lornd intervened somewhat annoyed.-

-Well, as things stand, brother - Roy answered with patience.- I think that is the only thing we can do ... for now. I do not detect any known energy to allow a teleportation.

            Everyone looked at each other with a resigned expression, nobody had a better plan. Meanwhile, in that huge ship, a small greenish, three-eyed creature was observing a screen where some images of the devastated city could be seen and made a movement of approval with its small head.

-Fantastic- he said to himself, just when next to him appeared the individual who had been fighting against Lornd whom he greeted. – Nice to see you Kribit, it was about time you came back, I thought that Saiyajin had finished with you.

-Finish with me? - The alien replied with incredulous sarcasm.- Bah !, it takes much more power than that miserable has to defeat me. Our race has progressed a lot since the ancient times of my ancestors, when a vulgar super saiyajin could defeat us.

-I hope so, otherwise I would not have sent for you - Gralas answered.-

-Damn it, Lord Gralas ... to tell the truth.- Kribit added with a gesture of disgust - I still do not understand why you sent us back ... I could have finished with him at that very moment.

- Sure! ... - laughed this skeptic to object - that's what they all say. But the Saiyajin did not fight with all his power.

- Neither I did with all mine - his interlocutor retorted furious, alleging.- I can transform a couple of times more. I am much superior to him, - he assured and his low voice echoed throughout the room.-

- That is not the matter.- Gralas said without flinching. - I do not doubt your ability. But you must not be so confident. In case you do not know, that saiyajin and his friends killed Trihar. So it's not that easy to beat them ...

- That is something surprising, but it adds interest to the subject.- Kribit admitted with more moderation, although he immediately opposed.- Trihar was a very strong being but also an imbecile. Anyone could cheat him. But do not worry, Gralas, I know how to beat those miserable space warriors.

            His conversation was interrupted by four individuals, three men and one woman, who had fought before against Roy, Diamond, Sapphire and Setsuna. The green haired guy spoke.

-I'm sorry to interrupt you Lord Gralas and Mr. Kribit, I come to inform you that the attack expedition has returned.

-We bring the report of casualties  - one with yellow hair, added.- It's not flattering. We have lost forty percent of our troops.

-That's not important, - the tyrant replied. - What really interests us is the next step in our strategy. Are the Dulars here too?

-Yes sir, - the woman replied. - ... But they have not come with us.

- Those guys are very independent. - the other individual said. - They do not even pay attention to us. They are lucky that the Arcoily serve you so faithfully, otherwise we would not have forgiven that insult.

-Well, I must say I'm glad -  the woman commented.- I do not like having them around. I do not trust any of them and they disgust me.

-They're just mercenaries, - Kribit explained. - For a good pay they'll do what they're told and they will not cause problems. But let's leave that now and let's see what the new tactic will be. Lord Gralas, tell us what to do next. - He asked in a voice that sounded dominated by impatience. -

            The rest also seemed to wait expectantly for new instructions, however, their leader did not give the impression of being disturbed. He just said.

-So far nothing. They will be the ones who must take the next step. I have already moved my pieces. - He smiled with malice .-

            Everyone looked at him without understanding what he could mean. Gralas, for all answer, I laugh.

            In that Tom intervened cutting the story. To ask without understanding ...

-And how do you know what they talked about on the ship? ...

-Very simple. - Seira smiled. - Then we grabbed some of them and they told us.

-Yes. – Calix added .- Nor did they understand why Gralas did not order them to attack again ...

-And what happened next? - Amanda, who had barely intervened in that, wanted to know.-

-I'll tell you. - Mimet, who, along with her boyfriend Daniel, was there, intervened.-

            The group was still trying to figure out the best way to assault that ship. In that, the blonde girl said, scrutinizing the radar screen.

-Something approaches towards the Earth. Doctor, do you see the same as me?

- Yes Mimet, - Tomoe who had just arrived at the control, followed by his daughter Hotaru and by Kaori, said. - They are several objects that lead collision course against the planet.

-The damned Gralas gives us more meteorites! - Lornd snapped furiously - that guy never learns.

- They fly very fast to be meteorites, and they seem to have a concrete target. - Daniel refuted while he followed in his screen the trajectory of those objects.-

-It is true. - Hotaru observed that she watched with great attention in turn, and declared.- It is a programmed trajectory.-

-Connect my camera again – Mimet suggested .- You can give us more information.

They did and in fact, they were not meteorites, the objects had a conical shape and seemed to be propelled by jet from the rear. The screen detected a large amount of radioactivity.

- They are nuclear missiles! - Ami exclaimed alarmed ...

-They are heading here, they're going to destroy everything! - Michiru sentenced frightened. -

-That is not going to happen.- Roy contradicted convinced - we will divert them ...

-Yes- Calix agreed – they should not get here. My Lord – He looked at Lornd and asked him – Your majestic, please, give us permission to destroy them.

-That's not so easy. - Setsuna said, explaining to the Saiyajin as well as the rest. - The radioactive wave would kill you and contaminate the rest of the planet, so we cannot destroy them ....

            Seira was shaking with fury, clenched her teeth and her hands squeezed a steel structure that was the back of Mimet's seat. She was watching her trembling visibly scared.

- Those damn ones! ... they were the ones that finished with my parents ... now I remember ...

-What do you mean, Seira? - Setsuna asked surprised. -

- Madam, remember what I told you. When my brother and I were still children, similar objects were directed towards our world. Then nobody knew how to stop them without causing a catastrophe. My parents volunteered to destroy them in space in exchange for their lives. And they were the same as those who are heading here now ... damn cowards! -She snapped, trembling with rage as she remembered. -

-Calm down. - Her sovereign asked her softly. - I understand what you feel, but it is not the time to let yourself be carried away by anger.

The saiyajin calmly calmed down and bowed her head apologetically.

-Forgive me, ma'am. You're right. I should have controlled myself. - Mimet sighed in relief, that beast almost squeezed her instead of the chair. - But what will we do to stop them? - Seira wanted to know with a puzzled gesture now.-

- That is the question, - Emerald stated also confused. - I cannot think of how we could stop them and keep on approaching.

-Impact within five minutes – Kaori warned.-

-Well, Jenny, it would be better for you to go and delay the six o'clock meeting.- Masters told his secretary with a tone that could not be specified if it was ironic or very worried.-

-To my understanding, we only have one resource.- Sapphire intervened who commented to the rest.- We have to create a barrier that repels them without making them explode ...

-And how will we do it? ...- Usagi asked that she was quite confused about these issues.-

-If we emit an energy source that slows them down in space and then we can change their course.- Diamond explained that he did catch the idea of ​​his brother.-

-That could be, but it would take a very powerful energy source.- Souichi objected.-

- Precisely that will not be a problem - Lornd smiled. - We'll take care of it.

-And we have a device capable of producing those waves. I helped my sister Eudial years ago to get it ready when we were working! ... - Mimet exclaimed enthusiastically, but she restrained herself when the doctor was nearby. She did not have to talk about those issues in his presence, so she improvised.- Well, it was a final year project, hee, hee, ... I re-started it a couple of months ago ...

      Fortunately, no one noticed that now. The young woman sighed with relief, although she did have to listen to the intervention of one of those Saiyajin, who declared with an exaggerated tone.

-What do we expect then? - Seira asked with fury and desire for revenge.- Let's give them back!

-Four minutes for the impact. - Kaori informed again.-

            Mimet and Daniel connected a radio transmitter of particles oriented towards the area of ​​space where the missiles arrived, threw a beam as a network to contain them ...

-Come to help us, please! - Daniel asked the Saiyajin. –

Roy, Lornd, Calix and Seira approached quickly. While Mimet gave a pair of cables to each one and indicated them with their usual joviality.

-Let's go guys, put on that chic, blond hair tone of yours and send energy through these cables.

            The four became super warriors throwing Mimet several meters as a result of the surge of energy. Fortunately for her, both Daniel and Tom were attentive and they held her down.

- Thank you brother-in-law, thanks Dany. It's been fun, I'd like to repeat it! - the crazy technique exclaimed.-

-it is not time for jokes, honey.- A worried Daniel whispered to her.-

The others barricaded themselves to avoid being thrown. The four super warriors emitted a very powerful energy that was deployed by the particle network and achieved the desired effect. The projectiles were held in it, everyone applauded enthusiastically but Kaori declared worried.

-That network can be traversed, it will not hold much, you have to turn the missiles.

-That's what I'm doing. - Daniel teased, turning back to his control console. -

            The young technician programmed some instructions and caused the network to turn slowly and with it the course of the missiles. After a very long seconds they had completely turned around. At last, the Saiyajin stopped emitting energy returning to their normal state and the network disintegrated, those projectiles resumed their course but this time back to their ship of origin.

-Good! - Petz exclaimed, hugging Sapphire. - Now let's give to that bastards a drink of their own medicine ...

-They will blow them into pieces! – A similarly excited Cooan added -...

            On the ship, both Gralas and the others were aware of the maneuver made from Earth. The missiles they had launched were now coming against them, although the space tyrant remained undeterred.

-We must reject them or they will destroy us- Kribit warned , asking- with your permission I will take care of that.

-Very well. - Gralas replied without appearing worried. - They're all yours.

-With all due respect, Lord Gralas.- He added that being with some sarcasm - no missiles were needed to destroy the Earth, I can do it with only one finger.- And without further ado, he left without waiting for the response of his ally who did not bother to replicate either. -

            Once in space, Kribit looked coldly at the missiles without showing concern. Levitated out of the ship without any protection, his race was adapted to withstand the conditions of the cosmos. Finally, he raised an arm and with one of his fingers, equal to those of a human hand, produced a tiny ball of energy that suddenly grew to a size of several meters in diameter. With a gentle gesture of the wrist, he launched it directly towards those projectiles that returned. In a few seconds the sphere of energy grew even more and when the missiles met, he buried them inside and exploded, illuminating the hull of the ship and the Earth with a blinding light. Kribit however did not flinch and returned to the ship again ...

On Earth everyone had to cover their eyes before that glow, even in the control room they had to disconnect the screens to the outside for a few seconds. Once that happened, they reconnected them ...

- It seems that they have resources after all. - Lornd commented without looking surprised -they have managed to destroy their own missiles without any difficulty. As I had expected.

-But now we have to counterattack. - Diamond intervened.- Before they can think of another way to spend time at our expense.

- But we continue with the problem of how to get to them.- Tom objected.-

- Maybe we can help you in that. - Then Usagi intervened - we do not need to feel an energy to transport us, just know the coordinates where that ship is. We can join all the sailors with the teleport and take two of you. Thus, others can transport you to feel their energy.

-For one time you had a good idea. - Rei said with a somewhat mocking tone -... it was already time. It must be your ingenious occurrence of the year.

-Hey! What do you intend to imply with that? - the aforementioned replied somewhat irritated .- Do not I always think of great solutions like this? ...

-I would not say so much - the interlocutor said, smiling and crossing her arms .-

-I hate you, Rei ...- Usagi answered in front of her and sticking her tongue out at what her partner responded in the same way.-

-Well, enough of that, please.- Makoto said, watching them as stiff as Ami and Minako.-

-Mako -chan is right. - Ami added affirming.- We do not have time for personal fights, not even the friendly ones.

-It's true- Minako agreed. - The thing is pretty serious. I would like Luna and Artemis to have come, we could use their guidance.

-Don't worry, Mimet has everything under control. - She said with a smiling expression as she kept awake. - I have already calculated the coordinates with my computer ...

-I hope we can trust her - Usagi mused in an almost imperceptible way to Rei that this time she nodded in solidarity.-

-What were you saying? - Mimet inquired, giving her a suspicious look.-

- Me, nothing, nothing! - Usagi laughed somewhat stupidly while waving her hands.

-Well, I trust you. - Roy intervened commenting on the rest - now we just need to know who will be the ones accompanying you ...

- Let's try to use the head - Sapphire added to try to string together a strategy - there should be two that have a strong energy but do not know how to use instantaneous translation. Thus, from the Earth, those who know how to use it will be able to take more of those who are here as reinforcement.

-So. - Lornd wanted to know that he seemed interested and agreed with that idea. - Who do you propose?

-I think Seira would be the one, Lord.- Calix intervened.- She does not know that technique but she is very strong, it will not be difficult to feel her energy.

- It sounds perfect to me, now that I know who was the person in charge of the death of my parents I am eager to go to avenge them. Obviously with your permission, Madam - she asked Setsuna with great respect.-

-I'll go too. -She replied. - I'll be in the circle for the sailor teleport ...

- Maybe for your safety it would be better if you stayed. - Her guardian commented, not without worry. -

-My duty, at least until I was officially crowned, is to help my former colleagues. - Pluto replied. - It is a debt of honor.

- In that case I will not separate from you and I will be able to protect you. – The female saiyajin answered. -

- Who will be the other? - Roy asked impatiently - you have to decide quickly ...

            Everyone looked at each other without finding a candidate, at last it was Diamond who volunteered.

-After the saiyajin who know the technique and Seira, I am the strongest. I think I should be the one to accompany them.

- Be very careful, honey. - Emerald asked him with visible concern. -

            The prince smiled giving her a light kiss on the lips and nodding, as he declared.

-Do not worry. With these friends around me there will be no problem.

-Very well, -Lornd agreed, rebutting the Prince of Nemesis in turn. - But I'm afraid, Diamond, that there's a problem we did not think about.

-what problem? -Beruche asked with restless curiosity. -

-When they kidnapped Setsuna, they hid her in an energy insulation room. We could not detect her aura no matter how hard we tried, and what if that ship was built of this material? ... we could not transport ourselves with your energy - the worried Saiyajin sovereign replied. -

            The others kept an uncomfortable silence, that was a serious problem. When everything seemed to be resolved, this inconvenience now arose. After a few seconds without speaking it was Seira who said without getting upset.

-It doesn´t matter, my King. We'll just have to make a hole in the helmet ...

-And be careful after the decompression - Diamond added with a smile. - But you're right, I think that can be done.

-Then let's not waste any more time - Haruka urged, willing to take action. -

- Could someone else go? - Nephrite was offered. -

-No, I'm sorry, two are already many. - Michiru objected. -

-We have enough energy to transport us with Diamond and Seira, no more. - Haruka added, with discomfort. -

            So the sailors held their hands forming a wide circle, in the center of it were placed those who were going to be transported. After listening to the encouragement and wishes of good luck, they concentrated by emitting a light of different colors each one until forming a kind of luminous kaleidoscope in which they disappeared.

-There they go; I hope everything goes well. - Roy wished with the murmur of approval from the others.

            In the great ship the alarm sounded, one of the mercenaries of Gralas entered the command room to warn him.

-My lord! Intruders have entered the ship. - Exclaimed arriving at the race very agitated. -

-Very well, - the tyrant replied without appearing worried at all as he ordered him. - Well, go to eliminate them immediately ...

- Lord Gralas. Can we go too? - the woman with the orange hair, asked. -

-If you want it, go ahead. -Gralas replied. - So that this and the others made a slight reverence and went after the mercenary. -

-It seems very good that you let them play, Lord Gralas. - Kribit said something annoying to oppose. - But, what are we going to do about the others that are still on Earth? only the less powerful have come ...

- Have a little patience, I told you that I expected to move tab and have already done, or rather, they are doing ... - the tyrant who leaned back in his chair and condescending tints replied and asked that individual. - Wait your turn, you'll have your chance.

-I hope so- His interlocutor muttered crossing his arms over his chest and swinging his tail impatiently. -

At the moment of appearing on one of the decks of the ship, the sailors, Seira and Diamond listened to a powerful alarm that betrayed their presence. The saiyajin tried to continue with the plan, as she did not know if her friends could or could not detect her, she broke a wall hoping to open an exit to space to escape her energy, but she only found an adjoining room. Immediately numerous troops fell on them. The sailors were in charge of presenting them battle, without breaking the circle they began an exchange of attacks against the energy beams they received.

- We must open a hole in the helmet - Diamond said something worried - maybe the others cannot locate us if we don´t do it ...

-We'll worry about that later - Seira interrupted making him see - we have company.

That said, she became a super saiyajin and prepared for the fight.

In fact, both the woman and the three individuals who accompanied her, appeared through a corridor adjacent to where Seira and Diamond were. As soon as they saw them, the newcomers threw themselves at them with fury. The shock was very violent. The space warrior began to fight against two of those beings and Diamond took care of the woman and the other individual.

-If our friends cannot detect us. - Seira thought while fitting a right hand- we will be lost. - And she replied with a hook that threw one of her enemies against the ceiling. -

            Diamond, on the other hand, fought hard but was harshly punished, not by the individual, but by the woman who seemed to have enormous strength. Remaking as he could he put into practice the trick of duplication to confuse his opponents.

- That will not serve you! - his enemy shouted throwing a bolt at the double of Diamond crossing it and wounding his own companion. -

-This equals things, - the boy smiled behind her. - Now it's your turn ...

            The woman turned and tried to hit the other Diamond, she was sure that this time he was the real one but she went back through and he disappeared. The real one surprised her by hitting her in the neck and throwing her against a thick steel door that the alien dented with her impact.

-It's done! - the exultant prince exclaimed. -

            But I was not, maybe the guy did seem out of combat but the woman recovered surprisingly. Something like greenish blood gushed from her face, she rose up as she stabbed her indigo eyes into those of her enemy.

-Until now I have not fought seriously, but now you will see. - She tensed her arms and her body burst a bluish glow, the tone of her hair changed from orange to a tone also blue, but darker. - You're finished! – She sentenced and having said that, she disappeared from the view of Diamond and hit him throwing him against a door, the prince accused the hard blow as she rejoiced exclaiming. - Ha, ha, ha ... pathetic human! You die.

            Seira noticed that her ally was having problems, even though she had to concentrate entirely on her fight, she was impatient and worried that others could be transported. She stopped the blows as she could. She had no difficulties because the rivals were too strong but because she was engaged in those thoughts. After receiving a few punches, she decided to get into the fight, disappeared with great speed and launched a ball of energy point-blank against one of her enemies eliminating him. The other rival tried to hit her with repeated attacks that were lost in the air as Seira dodged them without any difficulty. At last the Saiyajin dealt her a large number of blows until she was knocked out. She immediately went to help Diamond ...

-Hold on, here I go! - The female warrior exclaimed. -

            At another point on the ship, Usagi was about to falter, to endure the attacks of the mercenaries of Gralas was too much for her physical forces. Fortunately, both Setsuna and the other warriors tried to help her. Haruka and Michiru had come to the melee with the mercenaries. Rei and Makoto kept at bay another group unloading their attacks and making a titanic effort. Ami was trying to locate on her computer a corridor free of enemies to break through and Minako meanwhile covered her as best she could. Setsuna, on the other hand, took care of the strongest soldiers. Thanks to her training, she alone kept an entire company at bay. But things seemed to be like on Earth. The strength was running out and the enemy was very numerous. The girls were beginning to get nervous.

- How much longer will we have to endure? - The Warrior Jupiter asked while unloading for the umpteenth time her supreme thunder. -

-We must be there when they appear. - Sailor Venus said trying to calm her partner while throwing her chain of love to the attack. – They will need a target to focus in.

-Don't get nervous- the warrior Uranus shouted as she started to punch to another mercenary. - We cannot lose our calm now ...

-If this continues like this, they will pass us over, they are too numerous ...- the Warrior Moon, declared, also launching her attack. -

-I've found something - Ami announced. - We must go to that corridor. - She pointed to a passage that was to the left of the group. - I do not detect anyone there.

- Let's breakthrough and get out of here. - Sailor Neptuno told them after disbanding more enemies with her Deep submerge attack -

-I will take care of that. - Setsuna interjected before releasing a powerful wave of energy that created confusion in the enemy. - Come on, now! ...- and at her signal, the sailors ran to the corridor - ...

            Elsewhere on the ship the alien was ready to hit a battered Diamond when someone grabbed her arm, it was Seira who snapped defiantly and not without irony.

-It's not good to hit terrestrial men, they do not like to hit women ... why do not you mess with someone of your same sex so I can answer to you?

-It will be a pleasure. - The alien replied throwing a ball of energy against the Saiyajin that hit her in the stomach pushing her against a wall. -

            Seira quickly removed the ball from above making it explode and launched herself against her rival. Both began to beat themselves frantically while they stopped or dodged the blows of the other, the fight was very even. Diamond appreciated the break and took a magic bean, after having done that, he went to help the warriors ...

            On Earth in the meantime, Lornd, Roy and Calix, were busy trying to locate the energy of their companions but it was useless.

-Damn it! you were right, brother, that ship must be shielded so as not to let any energy escape - a frustrated Roy spit. -

-We cannot help them if they cannot make us feel their aura. - Calix added also very worried. -

-We must insist. – Lornd said, concentrating again. - I'm sure they'll do everything possible to get it to us.

            At that time both Seira and Diamond, like their friends, were not able to think about that, they just wanted to break through a cloud of enemies. The sailors, who had taken that corridor, were now being chased by the mercenaries who were already recovered. Finally, the warriors arrived at a door that blocked their way.

-We'll have to open this door whatever it takes! - Haruka urged. -...

-I'll take care of that, - her former partner Pluto blurted out. So she accumulated energy and threw a concentrated beam that managed to pierce the alloy that covered it. -

-Bravo Setsuna! - Usagi- snapped, you are a very strong girl ...

-I had to work a lot in order to be it - she smiled as she sweated from the effort. - Now that we can, we are going to recover strength, - and extracting a leather bag from her combat uniform she took some beans that she distributed to each one of her friends, indicating them. - Eat them and hold what you can, I do not have anymore ...

-Thanks. - Michiru said following that suggestion. - I needed it, I could not take it anymore ...

-When they reach us, those guys will find us ready. - Rei assured animated while chewing. -

            The sailors, recovered the strength and waited for the enemy, instead they heard a huge explosion that thundered in the corridor. When the resulting smoke dissipated, Diamond appeared before them, encouraging them animatedly.

-Come on, girls, it's time we opened a hole in this nutshell ...

            They all smiled relieved. Ami spoke while searching with her computer.

-I will try to locate an outside access to do it ...

-Did it, hurry up! - Minako asked with concern, making clear the fear of the rest to add. - We do not know until when we are going to be left alone.

            Sailor Mercury certainly was trying it. She tried to locate the general plane of that ship, but the design of it was very complicated ...

-It will take me a while to understand this mess of corridors. - She declared while she visualized them on her screen. -

-Try to hurry - Diamond asked - I'll go to see if Seira needs help.

            The space warrior, for her part, was still occupied with her adversary. She had to admit that this woman was very strong. Things were very even, so she decided to increase her super saiyajin energy almost to the maximum of her power and managed to sink a fist into the belly of her rival and then crash her head against a thick door. The alien was senseless, Seira could breathe relieved ...

-Damn it! I must admit that she has made me work hard ...- she thought looking at the body of her unconscious rival. - You are a skilled fighter, my respects.

Then she felt a strong enough energy approaching her, she put herself on guard but immediately relaxed, she recognized Diamond's aura and that made her remember that they should try to get theirs to their companions on Earth.

-Seira. - The prince of Nemesis asked arriving to her. - Do you need any help? ..

-No, thank you - she denied crossing her arms and asking not without unease. - Where are the warriors and my queen? ..

-Blocked in a corridor, but safe for now, they're looking for the outside of the ship.

-Let's go soon, - she said, ceasing to be a super saiyajin. -

-Hey Seira. - Diamond intervened that stopped her before she got going - thank you for helping me before, although I could have managed ...

-Yes, of course - she smiled with a sarcastic expression, to recover her tone of urgency by insisting. Go ahead, we cannot waste any more time ... – So she flew to the corridor that her interlocutor had indicated and he followed her ... -

            It seemed that, at last, Ami had located a corridor that faced the outside. Diamond and Seira returned and joined them. The Mercury Warrior communicated the news to them, but when they were about to go there, the door that Setsuna had managed to pierce partly opened. Behind her came Kribit who sketched a sinister smile, sentencing ...

-I think your path ends here.

-Who are you? - Seira asked with her voice of defiance. - Another henchman of Gralas, right? Well, you will see how I end up with you as with others ...

-I do not think so - he replied looking at his enemies apparently funny. -

-Well let's see it right now - Diamond said also concentrating energies. -

            Gralas was on his bridge when he realized that Kribit had left, he did not like it at all.

-That stupid! - He thought irritably - where did he go? he will spoil my plans.

Then he heard the sound of a large detonation, then his crewmen informed him of serious damage to the outer hull of the ship.

-I'm feeling someone's energy. - Lornd said, a very powerful one ... it must be the kind I faced before.

-Where are those of our companions? - Roy asked something worried. -

-I do not detect the energy of Seira, damn it! Something has happened. - Calix said, prey of the restlessness.-

-We go there, now! - Roy snapped. -

-Don't leave us here. - Petz asked him wishing, like the rest, to be able to help. -...

-It would be too dangerous. - Lornd opposed.  -... You must not come.

-Look brother-in-law, we are older to decide what we have to face. - Beruche replied with confidence and arguing immediately afterwards in a very convincing way.- All the help you can have will be little, come on.

- But Cubito! - his boyfriend objected - my brother is right. They are not enemies for you to fight.

-Come on, Roy. - Cooan intervened supporting her sister- do not be so macho ... we want to help our war friends.

-Yes, -Petz added. - It is our duty, we must intervene.

- Ok, you win - the interpolated admitted indicating. - I'll take Bertie, Cooan and Tuxedo. You Lornd, take Petz and Emerald. Calix you take care of Nephrite, Sapphire and Tom. - The others nodded, once ready, Roy gave the signal. - Now ...- and instantly everyone disappeared.-

When reappearing in the alien ship the situation could not be more painful. The Justiciaries and Tom ran, after the initial shock, to try to help the Sailors. All of them, including Setsuna, were lying on the ground and looked dead. Beruche and Cooan were the first to arrive. To their relief the sailors still breathed but they did it very weakly. Petz and Emerald tried to revive them. The others looked for Seira and Diamond. Roy found him leaning against a wall and in a pool of blood. Fortunately, he was still alive, Sapphire went immediately with his brother and made him take a bean that managed to recover enough to endure. He lifted him up by placing one of Diamond's arms on his shoulders.

-Let's go brother, you'll get well. What happened here? - He wanted to know astonished. -

- That alien ... - the prince of Nemesis whispered in a choked voice. - He is very strong ...

            Lornd and Calix turned a corner and there they ran into Kribit. This one laughed and before the horrified eyes of both exhibited raising it with its tail to an unconscious Seira.

-Well, go! - the alien said laughing- I was starting to get impatient, you will not say that I have not facilitated the work ...

-You dammed bastard, what have you done to Seira? - Calix bellowed out of himself. -

-Not half of what I'll do to you. - Kribit replied with a clear tone of mockery.-

            The furious saiyajin transformed into super warrior and threw himself at his opponent before Lornd could stop him. He hit that alien creature in the face with all his strength but he only turned his head slightly. By way of retort Kribit responded with a punch that threw the saiyajin against a wall. Without surrendering the space warrior returned to the attack and tried to hit his opponent again but he dodged again and again. Lornd wanted to intervene but there was no place, they were fighting in a narrow corridor and could not attack while their guards were there.

-Calix, be careful with him! - He tried to warn him uselessly. -

            But the aforementioned was increasingly tired, was also prey to anger and his blows were lost in the air. Kribit limited himself to dodge them with slight movements of his trunk until he grabbed his rival's neck and gave him a succession of blows that he finished throwing him against a nearby column, the young warrior was rendered meaningless ...

-The Saiyajin are too easy to crush so far. Hahaha! - He boasted with rejoicing. -

Meanwhile, he reluctantly released Seira who fell with Calix. The woman remained unconscious with signs of having received a harsh punishment.

-Let´s see if you find it so easy with me. - Lornd snapped, preparing for the fight. -

- Do not be impatient. Soon you will follow the same fate as these two. - His rival smiled.-

-I'm going to remove that stupid smile from your ugly face. - The furious warrior of space snapped.-

-Is that how you're thanking me for not killing any of your friends? Well, the truth is that I had thought to leave the fun for the end. Get ready ...

            Lornd and he engaged in a hard exchange of blows, at that time Roy, Nephrite and Sapphire felt two powerful energies approaching but could not see them.

-Boys! - Roy yelled - concentrate on those energies and fight ...

Both obeyed and managed to stop an attack of a chameleon figure that was confused with the metallic tone of the corridor. His companion did the same with one that adopted that color along with the bright yellow of a service door. The two figures grouped and seemed to observe both, Roy and Sapphire also joined, Nephrite was somewhat apart and a thick gate closed between him and his friends.

-Dammit! – Nephrite exclaimed with patent disgust. - They have left me isolated. I always miss the fun...

          

  His colleagues, regretting that, decided to focus on their adversaries for the time being.

-We are going to give them a good beating. - Roy suggested that he became a super warrior. -

-It's easy to say but I do not know if I'll be able to do it. - Sapphire answered concentrating his energies. -

            His friend did not have time to respond because his adversaries attacked them again and began a hard exchange of blows. Roy launched against his enemy a vital wave that he dodged, but, detecting his aura, the golden warrior managed to deliver a powerful blow that threw him against a door. Instantly that silhouette took that same color but that was not enough to fool his rival who finished him off with a burst of energy rays. Sapphire had it more difficult, his opponent seemed superior to him. After receiving a few blows he fell to the ground. Roy saw it and managed to intercept the enemy's attack. In a few seconds he managed to knock out the other being. When he did, it became visible with a squid-like face with several protruding eyes and a funnel-shaped mouth.

-Ag! - Roy exclaimed with disgust – what an ugly bug! No wonder he wore that camouflage.

            The other was also visible and had the same appearance. Sapphire could not disguise his gesture of disgust either. Just then, after receiving a few hits of energy beams, the hatch gave way and Nephrite was able to reunite with his friends.

-Well, a pair of beauties that I've missed. - He could say resorting to his usual sarcasm. -

But it was not time for that type of valuations, the three were as quickly as they could with the Justicieras ....

            While this was happening, both Tom, Tuxedo Kamen, and the girls, had to repel the aggression of more mercenary troops. The two men had come to fight hand-to-hand with them and had been fed up with punching and kicking karate. The warriors put into practice all their arsenal of attacks and blows and the enemy fled. Then Roy and Sapphire arrived, finding the others exhausted and bruised but unharmed. With much effort, yes, they had achieved their goal of protecting the sailors.

-Only my brother, Seira and Calix are missed. I would like to know where they are ... - Roy wondered aloud. -

            On the other hand, Lornd and Kribit were fully involved in a formidable fight. Each punished the other hard with devastating blows. They had opened numerous breaches that damaged the ship enough. In the command room, Gralas noticed it.

- Stupid Kribit! he intends to destroy the ship with everyone inside. Of course, he can survive in space. It's a good method, I admit it, it will surely kill those saiyajin. But it will kill me too and I do not like that.

And without delaying a second more, he called one of his assistants and ordered him to prepare an escape shuttle. The tyrant approached her and escaped from the great ship that was beginning to suffer internal explosions. As long as he said.

-There is no hurry, our roads will cross again ...

-How do you know what Gralas was thinking? - Tom inquired interrupting the story. -

-I do not know. - Your friend Roy commented, now that you mention it, I thought some of our friends had told me about it.

No one said anything about that, but they continued with the narrative without giving it more importance…

            In the great ship the warriors were finally revived with more beans that had brought their friends and Roy told them that they should leave, they had Tuxedo and Tom accompany them ...

-We will return for the others when Tom and Mamoru are safe.

They clasped hands and disappeared, within a few seconds they reappeared again and prepared to take the Justiciaries.

-Can you repeat the effort and take us? - Petz asked somewhat insecurely. -

-Don't worry- Haruka answered very calmly. - After having eaten the beans we are refreshed, so let's go.

-Come on! - Roy urged as the ship trembled around him, - you cannot waste any more time. We will take those who remain.

-Very well, good luck. - Setsuna wished them adding with emphasis and restlessness. - Please Roy, find Lornd and help him ...- This one nodded and kissed Beruche, the same did Sapphire with Petz. -

-Take care of yourself, please. - Bertie asked her partner. -

-You too. - Her sister Petz said too, addressing Sapphire. - And come back soon ...

            The infant of Nemesis winked and his girlfriend smiled more calmly as he told her.

-This time I do not leave my jacket behind, so do not fear.

-Tell Amanda that she can prepare a cup of tea for me, earth gray, please. - Nephrite added with his classic sense of humor. -

And without further concessions to the replica the sailors disappeared again with them.

- Come Sapphire, Nephrite, there is no time to lose! - Roy urged them. -

            Both nodded and the three went to where they noticed two powerful energies, one of which belonged to the king of the Saiyajin.

           

-Come on, is that all you can do? Lornd asked in a defiant tone, while the blood of a cheekbone fell on his face. -

-I still have not started to fight seriously. - Kribit replied doing the same in his face. - Now you will see ... -

And he increased his energy to a much higher scale. His opponent did not want to be left behind and transformed into a third level super warrior. Again, they began to exchange blows as the ship cracked around them. Then Roy, Nephrite and Sapphire arrived.

- It's a fight between two enormous forces! - the infant of Nemesis, exclaimed - I do not think we can do anything ...

-You and Nephrite. Go and try to revive Seira and Calix. I will help my brother; do you have any beans? - Roy inquired as Sapphire nodded and responded. -

-I have two...

- I have another one. – Nephrite added. -

-Reanimate Calix, he can transport himself. May I bring you and Seira to Earth. Lornd and I will take care of this guy.

His friends hesitated, they did not want to leave them alone, but Roy shouted at them.

- Come on, hurry up, there's not much time left, move! ...

            Reacting then, Sapphire and Nephrite went in search of Seira and Calix. Roy on the other hand came to help his brother who was beginning to have a hard time against Kribit who seemed to have an advantage. The alien turned after sending Lornd against a pile of scrap metal when he saw the newcomer ...

-So another stupid saiyajin has come. I think I will transform again. - He declared increasing his energy again. -

            Roy helped his brother get up. Lornd briefed him quickly on the situation.

-His strength is immense, even with the third level I can´t beat him. - He admitted with visible concern. -

-Well let's try it between the two - Roy proposed, increasing his energy to the maximum, the roof cracked and the oxygen began to be scarce while Kribit changed. - Come on, we have no time to waste! ...

            And it was true. The body of his enemy grew and from his head sprouted two spirals like horns, his tail bristled with numerous barbs and from his back came a kind of spiky shoulder pads.

-LOL! Every time you have less time, saiyajin. You are going to die, but do not worry, I will not let space kill you and deprive me of that pleasure. I'll finish with you both myself first ...

- Sounds encouraging, right? It is a nice gesture from his part. Isn´t it? - Roy replied with ironic sarcasm to his brother. -

-Maybe you die before us do. - Lornd replied to his adversary. -

-I do not think so, - he discussed, hitting the two space warriors before they could react while sentencing suffocating. - You are not rivals for me ...

            On Earth everyone was already safe. Tom wished his two friends were safe too. The same applied to others who only wanted them to come back soon ...

-Dammit! How I hate not being able to do anything. - He snapped, being embraced by Cooan. -

-They'll be fine. Trust them. - His wife asked him to smile encouragingly. -

            

Her husband returned that smile. He wanted to believe in that. Meanwhile, remaking as they could the brothers separated to try to confuse their enemy but this one went for Lornd. Roy attacked him with all his strength in the back but the alien rejected him without any difficulty and He counterattacked against the king of the Saiyajin who avoided the blows as he could. Kribit began to form another energy ball ...

-Shit, if he throws that we're fried. - Roy alerted. -

-I will not let him do it! – Lornd affirmed. -

And with an instantaneous translation he threw a bolt of lightning that snatched that ball from Kribit's hand, making it come out of the ship at great speed and let it explode in the void space.

-It has not been bad at all, - his opponent smiled with a gesture of amusement to sentence. - But, unfortunately for you, I can do all the balls I want ...

-Well, well. -  Roy replied, approaching his brother, commenting resignedly. -  I'm afraid there is only a thing we can do. – So he and Lornd looked at each other and nodded. Roy made a sign that his interlocutor interpreted.

-Yes, ready to die! - Kribit spat with rejoicing. -

           

            Roy concentrated then taking both hands with the fingers separated and supported in his forehead to shout.

- Solar wind!

He threw a beam of light that flooded the entire chamber with a great glow. This was not dangerous but blinded Kribit long enough, then Roy took the opportunity to tell his brother ...

-Fusion, now! - Lornd nodded and quickly joined in the proper pose as they shouted in unison.

-Fusion! ...

Again there was a great flash of energy, when Kribit could see at last, he found a single enemy but higher and with a much stronger appearance than the previous ones. This disconcerted him.

-Who are you? - He wanted to know visibly surprised. -

-Loroy, - this one replied with a voice that reverberated in what little remained intact of the ship ... and I will finish with you right now ...

-Do not make me laugh! - The alien retorted as he attacked his new adversary with an amazing speed. -

However, his enemy dodged the attack and counterattacked, hitting Kribit in the stomach and bending him.

- It cannot be - the alien mumbled as a result of the blow. - What a strength!

            At that time there were numerous chain explosions that jeopardized the situation of the contenders, but none paid attention to that. Kribit furious gathered energy and shouted ...

-It's over, I'll finish with you! - He sent a powerful beam of energy against his enemy but he rejected him with a swipe at the space, the explosion illuminated the sky. -

-It's my turn. - Loroy sentenced as he hit like a hurricane leaving Kribit badly wounded. - ...

-So you are very strong - this one laughed among the blood that slid down his face. But that will not work for you ... If I have to die, I'll take you with me. – He sentenced concentrating energy again but this time he directed her towards the heart of the ship. - Goodbye Saiyajin, or whatever you are! - He let out a laugh of madness and threw the ball. -

-Translation! - Loroy shouted that he concentrated just at that moment and disappeared. -

            The spacecraft exploded in a gigantic explosion that returned to illuminate the Earth while the warrior appeared next to his friends in the base. Everyone burst into shouts of joy as the blaze of the explosion eclipsed the screen again.

-Oh! You've finally returned, Roy. - Beruche exclaimed when she saw a Saiyajin appear, but when she looked closer, she stopped short.

            Setsuna was going to say the same about Lornd but she also stayed still. Neither of them recognized either one or the other. However, they immediately realized what was happening. Especially when the great saiyajin told them.

-I'm Loroy, I've already beaten the enemy ... but I have to wait a while in order to separate.

-Well, - Beruche could say smiling with a sweet voice to Setsuna - we can share them during this time. Do not you think, sister-in-law? ...

So her interlocutor nodded amused and each one kissed Loroy on one cheek at the laughter of the others.

- That's a sidereal trio! - Haruka exclaimed jokingly, leaving the rest blushing. -

            Calix and Seira, who were already recovered, looked stunned. Finally, after a few more minutes, Loroy separated and both brothers reappeared, the first thing Roy said was.

-Guys, this has to be celebrated, we're going to have dinner together and we pass the invoice to Masters ...

-I do not know if your idea will be funny for him. - Diamond objected with a smile. – As far as I know, he will be in your business meeting and, when he returns, it could be his bankrupt if we do that.

Everyone laughed without being able to avoid listening to such an occurrence.

-You can ask him. - Souichi intervened, laughing still as the rest at the end. - It's on the screen ...

            That was true, the image of Masters presided over the central screen. Once they told him what happened, he congratulated the whole group and announced that, of course, everyone was invited. Then Seira exclaimed with enthusiasm ...

-Well, we go to that place where we ate yesterday. - She proposed to Setsuna and Beruche that they could not stand the laugh as they agreed. -

-If we took a single saiyajin and they were left speechless you will see when we take them to four ... plus the rest of who we are, that we are not short eating either. - Bertie affirmed. -

-I am hungry! And besides, it is a French restaurant – Usagi exclaimed. - Let's go there, I'm dying to eat something.

-Yes, come on, we'll have a good time. - Tom was also encouraged. -...

            All were satisfied with that idea and went to that restaurant. There, once again, the waiters and the maître d 'began to tremble when they recognized Seira and then, seeing the rest of the Saiyajin and their friends eat, they were stunned. The group had a lot of fun and finished all the food of the local. Masters upon receiving the account thought that it would have been better to pay the bill for the reconstruction of the city. A few days passed and everyone went to the New Vegeta planet to attend the coronation and royal wedding of Lornd and Setsuna. Now they laughed after remembering that ...

-Of course it was a memorable dinner. - Petz declared. -

-I think they even ran out of dishes. – Makoto Laughs. -

-Yes, and that Masters reserved the entire restaurant for us. - Ami laughed in turn. -

-Poor Jennifer! she had to take care of all the paperwork and go over the bill. - Cooan added. -

- She had even to hire some economist! - Emerald laughed asking that girl. - Right Jenny?

-To be exact, two of them. - The aforementioned said, smiling also remembering. -

-That, more than a restaurant account, was an inventory of department stores. - Diamond added in turn, more when he saw precisely the millionaire and his secretary after the replica of it. - Truly Ian? ...

- As I told you before. I would have preferred a hostile takeover bid. - The aforementioned said before the renewed laughter of the rest. - You are very expensive when it comes to eat ...

 -Consider us an investment in the future. - Nephrite replied. -

The millionaire laughed with them, Jennifer for her part as well, although she immediately stopped doing it when she noticed the presence of the sovereigns of the Silver Millennium ... She did not take long to let her boss know. Masters, still smiling, apologized to his friends and went to them followed by his inseparable secretary.

-I am glad to see you, Endymion, Serenity. - He greeted them kindly. -

-Can we talk? - Endymion asked. -

- Sure. - The millionaire granted as he dedicated a significant look to Jennifer who immediately responded. -

- Setsuna gave me the keys of a private room. There we can chat.

            So the four of them moved away from the rest discreetly. After heading to these rooms Jennifer opened the door and entered. There Setsuna and Lornd awaited them, along with Calix and Seira. They entered closing the door. In that room was a large polished wood table with mahogany shades and several red taffeta chairs. With a gesture Lornd invited everyone to sit, he presided and his fiancée sat on the opposite side. Seira flanked Setsuna on her right and Calix on Lornd on his left, the rest of the seats were occupied by the terrestrial guests. Without delay, the king of the Saiyajin told them.

-What is going to be say here, it should not leave this room. At least not yet.

- In that we are all agree. - Endymion replied. -

            There was a brief moment of silence until Serenity spoke and declared.

-Then all agree. The tripartite pact will be official.

- As far as I am concerned, I have received the pleasure of the UN and the representatives of the most important governments. New Vegeta and the Silver Millennial of the Moon and future Kingdom Crystal of the Earth Tokyo, will be considered friends and allies. - Ian affirmed. -

-Regarding my world, as king I give you my word. You will have our friendship and help whenever you require it. - Lornd stated. -

- The Millennial of Silver on the Moon, and the kingdom of Neo Cristal Tokyo, are honored in having you as friends and allies and promise in turn to honor that pact. With Serenity and myself as representatives. We offer you all the help and assistance you need, both you, the inhabitants of Nueva Vegeta, as well as the citizens of the Earth. - Endymion replied solemnly. -

After these last words it was Jennifer who got up and, opening a drawer that was in a kind of bureau placed near where they were, she took out a few leather-bound folders with documents. As she did, she distributed them among the sovereigns of the Moon, New Vegeta and also handed one to her boss. Then, the girl explained to them.

-Well, now please, read those documents. They contain the written formalization of what you have just said. If everything is in conformity, I beg you to ratify it with your signatures. They must sign in all, in triplicate, a copy for each party. The noble guardians of their majesties the kings of Nuevo Vegeta, and myself, we will sign as witnesses ...

            This was done, after a few moments in which they found that the clauses were in order were signing, exchanging documents and completing the process. At the end, it was Setsuna who declared with satisfaction.

- Today we have carried out something very important. Maybe the most transcendent in the history of our respective planets. A lasting union of friendship and assistance.

-It's true. - Masters agreed and he told them. - And for our part we are already starting the Great Project. Finally, Jennifer has helped me to recruit the best possible crew. Hopefully, in just under twenty years, we can have a fundamental first line of defense for Earth and the Moon and then expand to new places beyond.

-We are very pleased to hear that. - Endymion affirmed, adding. - As far as we are concerned, we are also working to obtain more allies. -

-Our own daughter, Princess Usagi Chiba is also dealing with it in the future along with her guardians Sailor Asteroids. That is why Chibiusa cannot be here present. - Serenity explained. -

Although now she did it with a greater dose of affection in her voice, particularly directed to Setsuna who, in dismay, agreed with understanding that despite everything.

-I know we're all making a bet for the future. And in a way I find it uncomfortable not to be able to tell our friends yet. - Lornd affirmed who, sighing, added, looking at his fiancée. - However, despite the great transcendence of what we have formalized today, for me personally, the most important is the ceremony of tomorrow.

            Setsuna smiled at him, as did the rest who nodded approvingly. Even Serenity, who now seemed to speak more like Usagi, said.

-Well, tomorrow we will see how you prepare the wedding feasts here.

-You will be pleased, Majesty. - Seira affirmed with a half-smile. -

-And I think the ceremony is going to be impressive. - Jennifer appreciated. -

-Of course it will be, if it's as pretty as Setsuna's dress will be worth it. Right Mamo-chan? - Usagi replied. -

-I have no doubt. - The interrogative smiled. -

-It would be better if we met with the rest. - Lornd proposed to them. -

            Both Calix and Seira were the first to get up to open the door to the others. In their role as guardians and advisers they accompanied their sovereigns. The kings of the Silver Millennium, Masters and Jennifer, left shortly after the room. Without any kind of problem, they joined the rest of the guests. There was a small lunch, as a prelude to the celebration of the next day. After a couple of hours, they retired to their respective rooms. Everyone would have to get up early, since the ceremony would begin shortly before dawn.

-I'm nervous, more than for me, for our dear friend. - Usagi confessed to her partner. -

-Don't worry, I think everything went very well. - He tried to calm her down. -

-Yes, I know that. But sometimes I cannot help thinking that we sent her to a huge sacrifice. - The girl muttered. -

-She is strong and honorable, and besides, you know she loves him. It will not be a sacrifice but a new life full of happiness for her. - Mamoru declared. -

-I hope so. Now let´s go to sleep, tomorrow will be a long day. - Her companion could smile as they retired to their rooms. -

The sovereign of the future kingdom of Cristal Tokyo meditated on everything that had happened. She had that idea and told it to her partner. After much thought, when Landar informed them of the presence of those powerful warriors. She remembered that time they went to Heaven and the old magician received them there. It was shortly after Roy and the rest defeated the demons. They had had horrible nightmares and came immediately.

-I am glad to see you, Your Majesties. - Their host greeted them. -

- We think the same. - Mamoru answered. - Especially now that the threat has been neutralized.

-Yes, this threat has been so far...- the magician nodded leaving that phrase in a dangerous suspense. -

-What do you mean? - The young man inquired. - Is there anything else?

-That seems. - Then Usagi said, remembering him. - Because there were at least a couple of attacks in Japan that did not conform to the patterns of our enemies. That's why we've had those terrible dreams. True?...

-Yes, it's true. - His partner agreed to the old man to ask. - That's why you have summoned us here, right?

The aforementioned nodded slowly and, after putting on his long white beard, he declared.

-You must know that there are new dangers waiting out there. In the universe. And those enemies that attacked in northern Japan were no more than simple outposts. Someone very evil and dangerous awaits his chance. The Earth is in his path and he will not stop until this planet can be conquered. In fact, in another timeline he will get it. That is a serious distortion of space-time that will have to be corrected.

-And what can we do then? - Mamoru wanted to know with a worried face. -

-I told you there are dangerous enemies but there are also powerful allies. You already chatted with Son Goku and his friends to help you train Roy and his family. - The wizard replied. -

-However, Goku-chan and his people cannot intervene in the affairs of this dimension. - Usagi reminded him. -

-They cannot. - Landar smiled to rivet. - But some remote descendants of theirs, can.

And to the surprise of the couple, the magician told them the story of Lornd. That saiyajin king lost in another dimension and his people, who lived in New Vegeta. That world that was plunged into another existential plane by the same forces of evil that attacked the Earth, the Moon and the planet Alliance, where Asthel and Lorein (the ancient incarnations of Roy and Beruche) lived.

-Yes, I remember it for my mother, Queen Serenity. - Usagi said. - Bertie, and her sisters were initially guardians of Earth. Sent to the Moon by your father, Mamoru, I mean, Endymion. -She corrected herself with a slight smile to add. - He commissioned them to protect my mother and to train future generations of warriors. And they did it like that. They took under their protection the daughters of the sovereigns of the different planets of the solar system. Those who were friends and allies of our parents, as well as being their vassals. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Pluto ...            

-Yes, it's true. - The young man remembered too. - I remember that. According to your mother once told us, Asthel met Lorein on the Moon, when he came to sign an agreement of friendship with our kingdoms. His brother Lornd was going to do the same thing ... but evil hit before ...

-Then Landar, that means that, somehow you know where that warrior is ...

-Yes, Majesty. - The magician affirmed. - And not only him. But first things first. You will have a dangerous threat to overcome. As you already understood. I sent you some dreams. Images in reality of that other dimension.

- That was horrible! - Usagi could still say in shock when remembering them. - We cannot allow it to happen under any circumstances.

-Someone else will come. He has already crossed the boundaries of the space-time fabric of that dimension. In his way of yours and this time.

-Yes. Setsuna informed us of that. It was something so strong that she could perceive it even on Earth. - Mamoru affirmed. -

-Well, you must know that, in this case, your help will be very important. You can fight without restrictions from the beginning. In spite of everything, the key will be in that visitor and your friends. - The interlocutor explained to them that added. - If everything goes well, you will pass this hard test. It is then when you must invest in the future of your future kingdom and create a defensive system that protects it.

-The Earth, the Moon ... - Usagi enumerated. - And I guess more worlds ...

-So it is. - Her interlocutor said. -

- So this is like a gigantic game of chess against the forces of evil. – Mamoru commented. -

The magician nodded, but at once he nuanced reflexively.

 -Unfortunately this will be much more than a game. We could say that it is a championship. You will have to play several of them. The first you have won. The second I trust that you will also get it. However, you will have to leave the responsibility of the main movements to other players, just as you did in the previous one. But, from now on, you must concentrate on the longest and most fundamental of all. And that surely will require you to sacrifice very valuable pieces.

And the two listened to the magician who told them many things. Usagi and Mamoru paid great interest, as Serenity and Endymion, they replied once they were aware.

-So. We must find that warrior and make him our ally. - the terrestrial sovereign commented. -

-Yes, it is a fundamental task. - Landar said. -

-At any price? - Serenity inquired to affirm with visible restlessness. - And what could we offer to someone like him to accept?

-You know Goku and his race. They are mainly defined by two things. Overcoming challenges and another is that they respect whoever wins. That Saiyajin was here. - He revealed them. - He trained with Son Goku and then set off to settle accounts with his mortal enemy. The one that caused the disappearance of their world of origin and their own destruction. It's a matter of time before he comes to Earth. If you know how to play your cards, he can play on your side.

-And what cards could we play? - Endymion wanted to know that he seemed as lost as his companion. -

-You must choose one of your warriors of trust and commission her this mission. - The magician answered. - She will have to win that saiyajin for your cause.

-How? - Serenity inquired. - Are you telling me to ask one of my friends and companions?

-I told you, these warriors admire strength, but not only physics, but determination and character. Beauty and dignity and, above all, the ability to sacrifice. Think of any among your sailors who is a woman mature and powerful enough, as well as capable, to gather those qualities. She must have your total confidence ... a lot is at stake.

-We know. - Endymion sighed. -

-You put me in a compromise. It's asking too much. - Serenity muttered, taking both her hands to her chest. - Any of them ...

-Lamentably, there is no other option. With that warrior later it would be possible to recover the ties with New Vegeta and get the support of its inhabitants. Thousands of powerful Saiyajin. - Landar said. – Otherwise, it would be very dangerous if they were persuaded by the enemy ...

- Against that we would not have possible defense. - Endymion admitted. -

-And our other project is not very advanced yet. - His partner agreed to tell the magician. - We have left our own daughter in charge.

-That is an important link. Your daughter, the princess, she will have a key role to play as an agglutinant.

-You will not expect me to use Chibiusa for this? - The sovereign exclaimed. -

-Of course not. - Landar smiled. - She, like you, should not get involved beyond certain limits. But I advise you to value the possibility of entrusting this task to someone who loves her as if she were her own daughter ...

It was when Serenity and Endymion looked at each other in astonishment, of course! They had begun to think to whom they could go to entrust with such responsibility. Usagi remembered how she thought that. First she thought of her closest friends, but they were all still quite young, or at least that appearance they had. Neither Ami, nor Rei, nor Minako or Makoto, seemed to serve for that task. She was convinced that if any of them were required, they would do it for the sake of duty. But the magician shook his head. Then there were the outer. Hotaru was too young, that ruled her out. And Haruka and Michiru well ... Case of having to get involved with that saiyajin ... The truth is that they did not have that kind of tastes. It could not be. Landar himself told them with a lot of emphasis.

-The chosen one will also have to be receptive to the charms of that warrior. In fact, almost any woman would consider him quite attractive and virile. Unless her preferences do not be those.

-Well then, neither Uranus nor Neptune serve us. - Mamoru sighed. -

-Well, I've seen Michiru flirting with many men. - Usagi replied to venture. - Maybe she has both tastes ...

-One thing is flirting and another thing is who she really loves. You know it well. - His companion rebated. -

Usagi had to nod, that was true. Neither of these two would be capable of that. They would prefer to die. Although of course, if necessary to save the universe, they might sacrifice themselves. But it would not be too credible or convenient. Summing up, they all had loves or their hearts occupied by someone ... all but one ...

-Setsuna! - Mamoru exclaimed. - She will be perfect. She gathers all the qualities and has not been in love with anyone. Unless we know.

His interlocutor looked at him with narrowed eyes, without saying anything. Although she did not coincide with that assessment. Either Mamoru was too stupid in those things or worse, he knew it and he was pretending. In any case, the fact was he was right. Setsuna was the ideal candidate. So she made her mind...

-I agree. When the time comes, once the crisis that awaits us is over, we will tell her. - Usagi agreed with her boyfriend. -

And after that deliberation they said goodbye to the magician and returned to their occupations. Sometime later, that great threat came. A boy from the future warned them of what would happen in his future. Roy's group and the others trained with him and were able to defeat and destroy that terrible enemy. It was then that Usagi approached her warrior and entrusted her with that task ...

-And now we're finally here. About to conclude it. At least in this phase. - Usagi said as she lay down next to Mamoru to sleep and get up the next day, closed her eyes and thought. - Dear friend, I wish you the greatest happiness, you have earned it ... at least tomorrow, we have a nice surprise for you in store.

            And finally, the great day has arrived. The sun was rising orange among the hills and mountains of New Vegeta. The couple had each gone to bed in a separate wing of the palace. Setsuna went to be prepared by her ladies of honor. And great was the joy of Pluto, so much that she even cried excited, when among those ladies was, a very special, the Small Lady. The daughter of the sovereigns of the Silver Millennium. A young Chibiusa about barely twelve years old. She wore the ceremonial costume of the Moon, white with gold edges, at the neckline.

-But your parents told me you could not come, Small Lady. - The excited bride could say. -

-Yes, we thought you'd be excited if I surprised you this way. – The girl smiled broadly. -

            Setsuna hugged the girl tightly, so much that she seemed never to let her go. Finally, she overcome the emotion of that moment and her friends prepared her. With her white wedding dress and a bouquet of flowers with the colors of each of the warriors, and in the center, the immaculate white and the strong red of the roses of Tuxedo Kamen.

-You are so beautiful! - Hotaru Tomoe declared, dressed in a long suit of mauve tones. -

            In fact, each Sailor wore her planetary princess costume. Even Haruka had dressed like that for the occasion with a dark blue one. Ami, wore a light blue, Rei, a dark red, Makoto a dark green, Minako the golden color, Michiru a light green. And they all wore a silver tiara on their foreheads. It was an imposing group, as entourage that escorted the bride. Along with all of them, a group of space warriors, with ceremonial armor, headed by Seira who, in addition to that dress, wore a cloak of indigo blue.

-We are ready, Madam. - The guardian declared. - We wait for your command so that the procession can begin.

So the protagonist nodded and they started. They passed a long corridor and some space warriors could not help looking at them. Among them was Blinz, who, also dressed in his ceremonial armor and a blue-colored cloak, fixed his eyes on the princess of Uranus. This one realized immediately of that and it responded dedicating a fleeting smile to him while she passed next to him.

-The truth, what a men there are here! - Rei sighed.-

-We could find a boyfriend, one for each. - Minako affirmed. -

-The truth is that they remind me of a boyfriend that I had. - Makoto declared. -

-Which one of them? - Ami wanted to know looking at her partner with strangeness. -

- Well ... all of them do. - The princess of Jupiter foolishly smiled. - ...

-Although it seems that Haruka has already had her eye on one of them. - Michiru affirmed with a certain sarcasm. -

- Are you jealous? - Her partner wanted to know. -

-It could be. - The aforementioned answered, conceding almost seemed to her regret. - Space warriors are so strong and manly. They are full of muscles and vitality ...

-Aayyy ... yes! - All the girls sighed except Uranus, upon hearing that.-

-Girls, a little seriousness and decorum. Please! - Chibiusa, who wore her white dress with gold brocades and a silver headband on her forehead, reprimanded them causing the others to blush. - We are princesses ... although the truth be told ... is that they are beautiful. -  She blushed in turn among the laughs of the rest.-

            Setsuna laughed as the most, she was going to miss much that environment, those jokes and the complicity that all her dear friends showed. That was another thing that made her decision even harder. But there was no turning back. And even if she could have had the opportunity to change her destiny she would not have wanted to do it ... Now she just wanted to live up to the expectations she had put in it.

-Father Cronos, my friends. - She thought as she watched her former colleagues. - Give me strength and integrity. I want to be the best possible girlfriend. And the best of the wives ...

            The fiancé on his part wore his formal armor, with the king's crown engraved in maroon on the right side of the breastplate. A long red coat matched that inscription. Next to him, his brother Roy who, for the occasion, wore a similar armor, with a coat of that same tone and a crown, although of prince, also recorded. Dariel himself wore similarly, but his cloak was dark blue. The same as Calix. Apart from the honor guard of Saiyajin, all of course dressed similarly. The rest of the friends followed the future husband. Although they moved forward to take their places in the red taffeta seats that lined a long open-air corridor. At the end of it awaited Luarque, the old former chancellor, who would retire definitively after serving as an officiant at the ceremony of the betrothal and the coronation. This was the custom of space warriors, although it had not been done very often, they combine both solemn acts. Everyone had explained to them when they arrived. The first thing would be to officially and legally proclaim Lornd as king of the Saiyajin. For this, a series of rites would have to be celebrated. Afterwards, he would wait before that kind of altar presided by Luarque at the arrival of Setsuna. After the betrothal ceremony he would crown her as his queen.

-I'm really nervous.- Petz could say, wearing a long dark green dress.-

-Ha, ha. It is not you who is going to marry! - Emerald smiled, wearing a dress with a lighter green tone than her sister-in-law.-

-It's a great moment for them.- Beruche affirmed, with her light blue dress.-

-Yes, - Cooan agreed. She was wearing a burgundy one.- A truly solemn occasion.

-I wish our sister Kalie could be here too! - Petz sighed, to which they all nodded.-

-She sure will be fine.- Amanda encouraged them wearing a pastel dress, adding now to remove that melancholy that had occurred when evoking the name of Karaberasu.- Girls, I have to ask you. Where did you get those ideal diadems?

           

            The three sisters wore on their foreheads silver-colored headbands, similar to those of the sailors but finished off without the half-moons that were inscribed in those of their friends. Emerald's was somewhat larger, with several ornaments that resembled a kind of arabesques. And Beruche, on the other hand, carried another one, with a golden color on top.

-Well. -The latter replied and explained. - These tiaras are the hallmarks of our ranks of countesses of Nemesis. Diamond was very kind to grant us the title. And I also carry the gilt that corresponds to my old life as Lorein, princess of Alliance. And still my sisters and I would be missing another guardian warriors of Earth.

-In my case. - Emerald intervened. - Mine is the one of Princess of Nemesis. - If you notice, you will see that Diamond shows those same symbols in his costume.

-It is true. And Nephrite wears a kind of suit with a very similar cloak. He is a prince too.- Amanda replied who, smiling amused, exclaimed.- Oh my God! This looks like a meeting of the Jet Set.

- You are all really beautiful. - Jennifer said that for once dispensed with her glasses and wearing contact lenses, being also very attractive with a long pink dress.-

-You are also very pretty.- Serenity, who stood a little more apart, complimented her.-

            She wore her flowing white immaculate dress of queen and her tiara that was silver and adorned with the symbols of the kingdom of the Moon. A very elaborate shapes that jutted a little above her forehead. There was another empty place there, for the little Lady, who would occupy it after accompanying, along with Hotaru, the bride to the altar.

            For their part, the group of the boys sat in front of them, each one dressed as their couples described them. Diamond and Nephrite wore silver-colored ribbons on their heads that testified to their status as royal highnesses. Sapphire also, though somewhat less thick, as a Nemesis infant, with his navy blue jacket and ceremonial white trousers. On this occasion, it was Tom who, wearing a simple but elegant tuxedo, could say really impressed.

-Wow! How elegant are you all?

- That's what happens to you because you're a Kansas peasant! - Roy laughed that he was already taking his place right next to his friend, while adding fun.- Let's see if you learn from us and you have more style ...

-I think the only one who would not have to wear anything like that either would be Ail.- It's a pity that they were not available when we came.- Tom said with regret.-

-Yes.- Sapphire agreed.- The girls told me that they also missed Annie and the baby.

-Do not worry, Tom.- Ian Masters supported him who was sitting a few banks.- I do not have any of that either.

-I do not know what you're complaining about, you do not even have to do it, Ian. You could buy a thousand crowns! - Diamond smiled.-

        The millionaire laughed at the comment. And there was also a vacant position, the one reserved for Endymion, who would act as godfather to the bride. So between those and other disquisitions all waited. After a few minutes the silence spread. The first to arrive were Calix and Dariel, who preceded their sovereign. He walked slowly through that long corridor. Behind him marched a Saiyajin entourage. That was when Roy came forward. Accompanied by a band of Saiyajin music he sang a song that his brother had asked him. One of those that his people considered ceremonial ... Since as they explained to the terrestrials, some sovereign of the past had the opportunity to sing it to celebrate his arrival to the throne at the hand of his beloved.

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale

I want to hide the truth
I want to shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

When the curtain’s call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made

Don’t want to let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don’t want to hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

And several saiyajin, including Lornd himself, sang the song. At last, it was the two brothers who did it, while the budding sovereign approached the place of the first of the ceremonies ...

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

They say it’s what you make
I say it’s up to fate
It’s woven in my soul
I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright
I want to save their light
I can’t escape this now
Unless you show me how

Lornd crossed the corridor, receiving everyone's bows. He passed by the altar and went to an esplanade lined with some rock monoliths. Each one with names engraved on them ...

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside

It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

 (Demons, Imaginary Dragons, Credit to the author)

When concluding the song, the protagonist of that ritual stopped before the last monolith of all. This one was named after Dronaos, Lornd's father and Roy himself, in his previous incarnation as Asthel. And, just behind it, a hole in the earth and another large monumental stone lying down. That would be the one that bore the name of the budding monarch.

-What is he going to do now? - Tom wanted to know, asking Roy that he returned to his post after finishing the melody. -

-Now he's going to swear as a king and receive the blessing of our world. The person in charge of doing it would be the old chancellor.- His friend answered.-

-Yes. He's a kind of seneschal, is not he? He has governed the destinies of this planet until Lornd won the test that he told us. - Nephrite commented.-

-That's right, friend.- Diamond agreed.-

            And before all those present, including numerous Saiyajin as witnesses, Lornd bent a knee before the monolith with the name of his father and listened to Chancellor Luarque declare with a firm and resounding tone.

-Here we are. Here you are ... Listen to the voice that comes from old. Your ancestors meet you here on this day. Lornd, son of Dronaos and Alisan, of the Deveget lineage. Listen to the voice of your interior.

            And shortly after finishing these words a group of space warriors played some instruments and Lornd himself was the one who, raising his eyes to the sky and extended his arms with open hands, recited a series of words that sounded more like a song. In fact, that's how it was, he did it accompanied by the music of a group of warriors. It was his request for help from his ancestors.

The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by

Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself

Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The way out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

(Send me an Angel, Scorpions, credit to the author)

And when that song ended, everyone kept a deep silence, full of expectation. Lornd then declared solemnly:

-Ancestors I beg you

-Enlighten me from now on, with your wisdom.

-I'm the king of the sunset city

- I am the force that unites our people

-I'm the one who has to guide your destiny

-I'm here

-Send me an angel

-Front of the power of darkness

-To find the way to victory

-I beg your guide

-Send me an angel

And having said that, he got up following Luarque to another great ceremonial stone and that's where, after cutting himself with a flake and spilling his blood on its surface, the monarch put his hand and listened to his chancellor address him in the following terms.

-Do you abide by the laws, traditions and customs of our people?

-I swear.- He replied decisively.-

- Will you protect, defend and guard against all evil, inside and outside?

-I swear

- Will you be willing to shed your blood for him and for his people just like you have done before this altar?

-I swear by my blood spilled.- Lornd finally sentenced as he knelt before the old man.-

           

            Again a moment of silence, which was finally broken by the chancellor who, smiling a smile of satisfaction, affirmed.

-So, during all the days that you stay. And that you should fulfill your task as honorably and faithfully as all the great kings who preceded you did. You remain proclaimed forever and ever in the memory of your people as King Deveget, Lornd, the first of your name, sovereign of New Vegeta and lord of his planetary system.

            And Luarque took a large golden crown that showed several lanceolate peaks and with slowness and solemnity placed it on the temples of his interlocutor. It was then that Lornd got up and the old man bent his knee. The rest of the Saiyajin did the same. The foreign guests, on the other hand, gave him a respectful nod. The new sovereign then went to the altar where they were going to celebrate their betrothal. While he was doing it, he remembered once, at his brother's house. With everyone gathered and celebrating the victory against the henchmen of Gralas.

- Let's put this song by the UB-40! - Roy said to all, adding as he observed fun how Lornd and Setsuna who were together at that moment. - You'll see, it's my favorite of the versions that make the King ...

-To the king? What king? - Lornd wanted to know - The one on Earth?

-Even more important. The king of rock! ...- The boy exclaimed, leaving him astonished as he connected the music unit and encouraged the rest. - Let´s dance! Come on, cubito! -He asked his wife who was smiling, she let herself go.

And the rest followed, to the rhythm of that reggae-style melody. On the other hand, the sovereign of New Vegeta listened to that song with interest, in as much his eyes did not separate of those of Setsuna ...

Wise men say - Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you

Wise men say - Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay - Would it be a sin

For I can't help falling in love with you
As a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be

-We dance? - She asked smiling at him jovially. -

The saiyajin accepted immediately interlacing one hand with another of the girl and adopting the same position as the rest of his friends. Halfway between a normal dance and a moving... Both Usagi and Mamoru who danced in turn watched them with satisfaction ... Lornd felt very happy too, so much, that he repeated to his astonished couple one of those phrases of the letter in both He bent his knee and held her hand.

Take my hand - Take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you
As a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand - Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

(Can't help falling in love with you UB-40 versioning Elvis Presley, credit to the author)

 That made both Roy and the rest applaud, for Setsuna's blush and laughs at the rest. Lornd just shook his head. Despite not wanting to evidence it was a bit flushed in turn. Then they continued the dance and then the party. Those were good memories and he liked that song so much that he did interpret it in the minutes that the bride took to come ... and it was really impressive to hear a Saiyajin company play the trumpets with the chords of that song.

-Well, apparently your brother is learning quickly. - Bertie smiled, delighted, listening to that music with as much delight as the rest. -

-Yes, at least in a matter of music I will still make a good connoisseur out of him! – Roy laugh. However, he had another surprise on his part. - And his has cost me a lot of work and rehearsals, cubito. Now you know…

            His wife nodded. Of course, poor Roy had been very involved in the preparations to liven up that ceremony. But it was definitely worth it. Especially because the time so long awaited had arrived. The bride began her march from the other end of that very long corridor, listening to music that was accompanied by many of the space warriors and by Haruka on the piano and Michiru on the violin. And it was Roy himself who sang followed by Tom and chanted by the other guests. In spite of everything, that song was not ceremonial, it was a request of the own Setsuna who said to have heard it in the future and that thought that it was very appropriate for her and its circumstances.

When she was just a girl,
She expected the world,
But it flew away from her reach,
So she ran away in her sleep.

Dreamed of para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Every time she closed her eyes.

Oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

When she was just a girl,
She expected the world,
But it flew away from her reach,
And bullets catch in her teeth.
Life goes on,
It gets so heavy,
The wheel breaks the butterfly.
Every tear, a waterfall.
In the night, the stormy night,
She closed her eyes.
In the night,
The stormy night,
Away she flied.

And to the rhythm of that melody and interpretation, the bride walked without haste but without pause. With her heart beating hard and her face covered by a soft translucent veil that hid at least the tension and emotion that marked her face ...

She dreamed of para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

Away she flied.

I dream of para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

She dreamed of para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la

... She was followed by her bridesmaids holding the tail of the dress and carried by the arm of King Endymion. Thinking of each step she took in what was to be her new life. Now, she would share her destiny and the rest of her existence with that Saiyajin ...

Still lying underneath the stormy skies.
She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
I know the sun's set to rise.

This could be
oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

... Maybe it did not have to be like that, but that's the way it would be. And she did not regret that decision, she knew it was the best for everyone. Her own happiness or her desires did not count. Or maybe, did? Of course, she could not say with sincerity that it made her miserable. Quite the opposite ... so she reflected when it seemed that time itself was stopping without her ordering it. While the music of that beautiful song that she liked so much was coming to an end. And being aware of that petals of varied flowers, including roses like those of Tuxedo, fell at her feet, as she walked observing Lornd, who awaited her in turn, turned towards her. The young woman did not allow herself to turn her neck in the least to observe King Endymion. She thought that would be like wanting to look back. To her other life. To her old desires. She realized that, yes, that everyone present bowed her head with great respect and affection when she passed by her side. Especially her companions and especially Serenity that smiled her tenderly. So she came to the side of her fiancé. Finally, the king of Neo Cristal Tokyo withdrew, as did the bridesmaids, to take their seats. After a few moments of great expectation, the elderly Luarque took the floor again addressing those present.

-We are here to celebrate this union of man and woman, husband and wife, king and queen. In the eyes of witnesses and invoking the protection and blessings of our ancestors.

            Now both parties looked at him with their hands intertwined. Luarque pulled a purple ribbon from a fold of his tunic and asked them.

- Do you know the meaning of this union?

-Yes, we know it- the two of them replied in unison. -

- Did you come freely and without coercion?

-Yes, that's how we came. - They responded again. -

- In that case, before the ancestors and those present here, I ask you, Lornd of the line Deveget, king of the Saiyajin. Do you accept Setsuna Meioh, princess of Pluto, to make her your wife, queen, to honor her, to protect her as her sovereign, to be faithful to her as her husband and to be the father of her future children? ...

-Yes ... I accept. - It was the quick and resounding replica of him. -

            Now the officiant turned his attention to the woman who lifted the veil and also inquired, repeating the ceremonial formula.

- In that case, before the ancestors and those present here I ask you. Setsuna Meioh, princess of Pluto. Do you accept Lornd of the Deveget line, to make him your husband, king, to honor him, to be loyal to him as a subject and as a wife and to be the mother of his future children? ...

-Yes, ... I accept ... - The girl that seemed to choke a bit, maybe due to the emotion, could respond -

And again a deep silence covered the whole place. And again it was the old man who broke it to sentence.

-If there were someone who, for just reasons, opposed this union, he or she should say it now. Or to keep silence forever ...

            Again there was stillness and nobody dared to take off their lips. Luarque let a few more seconds pass that seemed interminable until, smiling this time, he declared.

- Having made the vows and completed the rituals, with the blessing of our ancestors and the presence of witnesses I declare you united in marriage, man and woman, husband and wife, king and queen ...

            And now, after making the young couple a great inclination, the already emeritus chancellor retired. It was Dariel, his successor, who approached carrying a purple cushion with a golden crown on top. It was smaller than Lornd's. Although it seemed even more beautiful for its delicate design. The monarch took it while his wife bent one knee and bowed her head. Then, her husband declared loud and powerful.

- In view of all those present and with the pleasure of the council and the blessings of our ancestors, I proclaim you my queen. Queen Meioh The first of your name. Setsuna

And the Saiyajin continuously chanted the name of their monarchs. Then they sang a kind of ceremonial hymn, whose lyrics said.

So all you people give freely
Make welcome inside your homes (ooh)
Thank God you people give freely (yeah)
Don't turn your back on the lesson of the Lord

All prime ministers (yeah) and majesty around the world yeah
Open your eyes look touch and feel
Rule with your heart (rule with your heart)
Live with your conscience (live with your conscience)
And love love
Love love and be
Love love and be free
We're all God's people (we're all God's people)

Gotta face up
Better grow up
Gotta stand tall and be strong
Gotta face up
Better grow up

Gotta face up
Better grow up
Gotta stand tall and be strong
Gotta face up
Better grow up
We're all God's people
(Gotta face up)
(Better grow up)
(Gotta face up)
(Better grow up)
Yeah yeah

Yeah - yeah - yes there was this magic light
I said to myself
I'd better go to bed and have an early night
Then I then I then I then I went into a dream

Rule with your heart and live with your conscience
We're all God's people give freely (yeah)
Make welcome inside your homes
Let us be thankful, He's so incredible

We're all God's
We're all God's
We're all God's
We're all God's people
We're all God's
We're all God's people
We're all God's people.

 At last, when the song concluded, the two newly proclaimed king and queen withdrew holding hands. They received the inclinations and obeisance’s of all their subjects and the polite gestures of courtesy of their guests who lowered their heads slightly. Setsuna looked excitedly at Endymion and Serenity. The latter gave her a broad smile nodding. It was then that Lornd picked up his brand new wife and queen and rose into the air with her, moving away from there.

-And what was that? ...- A Surprised Diamond asked. -

-It's an ancient Saiyajin custom. - Calix, that now was next to him, explained. -

-Old? - Roy was surprised, he knew that song perfectly so he informed the rest. - But if it's a song of my favorite group ...

-I was referring about why they have gone flying. - Diamond replied. -

-It's tradition. - Seira completed that now she could join them, as well as the rest of the women who left their ceremonial seats. - He will show her, their new domains. They will climb to the peak of the Sunset Mountain.

-From there you can see the Sunset Town, our capital. - Dariel completed. -

-Only a sovereign can go there on his wedding day, in order to show to who will be his queen what will be their domains. - Calix righted. -

            Everyone looked up in the distance. On the horizon, several peaks were outlined, the highest one corresponded to that mountain. Although they could no longer distinguish the silhouettes of the newlyweds.

-I hope it does not take long ... I'm going to die of hunger…- Roy sighted receiving a hit on his head from his partner. -

- You cannot stop thinking about eating at a time like this? - She asked between astonished, excited and disapproving, shaking her head at the smiles of the rest, adding with sarcastic tone. –You are so romantic! My dear.

-Well, cubito. - He grinned mischievously to whisper. - Maybe if there is a free room I could make you forget this for a while. And you'll see how romantic I can become ...

            Bertie's red face answered for her. She did not think about it and went over her husband's head again with a good dose of hits.

- Of course! - Petz laughed affirming. - These men are always the same ...

-Yes. It is true. - A Funny Sapphire said, taking her affectionately from the waist to add. - But you cannot blame us, having some beautiful girls like you is inevitable.

- Wow, good for Sapphire! - Emerald smiled sentencing. –You have changed totally, right darling? - She asked his own boyfriend who nodded. -

-Yes, and also my brother is absolutely right. - Diamond said with a smiling gesture clutching his partner's hips too. -You are too beautiful.

-I couldn´t agree more. – Nephrite stated embraced Amanda who smiled funny as the rest. -

-I also subscribe it. - Tom affirmed, giving a light kiss on Cooan's lips.-

            At that moment it was Dariel who addressed all the guests, requesting their attention and commented with deference.

-In short, we will enter the banquet hall. I ask our distinguished guests to excuse the delay of their majesties and their absence for a long period of time.

-Do not worry, my friend. We understand it perfectly. - Roy replied. - By the way. - He added with joviality but visible interest. - Where do you get those songs from? You have very good taste.

-I could not tell you exactly, your Highness. - The Chancellor replied. - They get lost in the night of time.

Roy looked with obvious surprise at his wife and Tom. He could not understand that. He whispered to his friend then.

-Hey Tommy, this seems very strange to me. How can they be traditional songs that get lost in the night or that bullshit that guy has said? If I have them all in my CD collection! If I even lent Lornd some of them...

-I do not understand it either. – Tom who, little anxious to complicate thing, advised him. - Better let it be ... we will ask your brother later ...

His friend sighed although he decided to listen to him. And taking his wife by the hand they went with the rest of the guests to a large room full of tables and chairs that the Saiyajin had indicated them.

-It is logical that they want to enjoy the moment. - Tom added, giving him his hand in turn his wife. -

-Of course the ceremony has been very beautiful. - Emerald commented to Diamond while they followed their friends. -

            The rest also followed the Chancellor and were accommodated according to rank and protocol. Everything was ready, large number of plates, cutlery and glasses. The agape was going to be celebrated observing the terrestrial protocol, in attention to the guests. And Dariel was impeccable in his role as master of ceremonies and improvised host. For their part, the newly married couple continued their flight to that great mountain. Lornd smiled as he held his newly espoused wife in his arms and declared with enthusiasm.

- Now I'm going to show you our kingdom!

His wife smiled with a happy face in turn. At least now she could share that joy with him. They continued flying and it seemed that they were never going to reach the top of that high summit. Although at last the saiyajin rose over the highest peak and landed on it. They did not have much space since on both sides of them unfathomable chasms opened. Anyway, that did not bother them in the least. Then Setsuna looked around. It was a splendid sight! she could see miles around. The other mountains, the valleys, the bluish spots of the distant lakes. Everything seemed like a miniature, and also a pale reflection of silver deep in the distance ...

-Look. - Lornd said pointing with one of his fingers in that direction. - There it is, our capital. The City of the Setting Sun. Or the Sunset town, as you prefer.

-It is very beautiful. - Her interlocutor could respond by recreating herself in that vision. -

-Our domains. All you see is the land of the Saiyajin. Here is where our people live. - He affirmed that, moderating his tone a bit, he confessed. - Do you know? If I tell you the truth, I'm a little afraid.

-Afraid, you? - She smiled slightly, looking at him strangely. -

-Afraid and even scared. - He explained. – Scare off couldn´t being such a great and good king for our people as my father and his ancestors were. Of not being able to make you forget the past ... And, above all, of failing in the attempt to make you happy ...

            Setsuna took one of her hands between hers and smiled more tenderly now to assure him with affection in her voice.

- In that case you should not fear anything. I feel very happy with you, here, and I want to be a good queen and wife. And I want you to be proud of me. As I am from you. Take my hand and my whole life too. -She reminded him of the words he had told her. -

            Lornd reciprocated by taking her in his arms again and giving her a long kiss on the lips. Then he left her gently at his side, while the sun reflected on those distant domes of his palace. They both observed that beautiful show with admiration. Then he looked up and said taking out a small music player.

-I do not know how he did it, but Asthel had this song from our town, which narrates what happened a long time ago. And it expresses everything that the duty and sacrifice that await us means ...

And inhaling air, he sang with powerful voice while the music continued ...

A ragged man came shuffling through
A puppet king on the 4th of June
And butterflies from all around
Settled on his paper crown

A pretty sight it seemed to be
An avenue of eternal peace
But he said, "What is here can soon burn down..."
"I'm the king of sunset town"

Watch a big wheel turning round
Some go up and some go down
Some go thirsty some just drown
"That's the law round here"
Said the king of sunset town

And in the night he comes to me
And the square becomes a battlefield
Of staring eyes that can't explain
The insanity and the greater game

Watch a big wheel turning round
Some go up and some go down
Some go thirsty some just drown
"That's the law round here"
Said the king of sunset town
"That's the law round here"

He sang in a powerful voice while Setsuna looked at him, stunned and enraptured. Something inside her was beginning to understand ... the responsibility, the burden that her husband should bear, the legacy of his ancestors and the welfare of his people was also hers now. Well, she should be his support and funding. As well as someday, she will help him to ensure the kingdom continuity with heirs. But the song continued as if it were pure poetry mixed with an epic drama ...

A ragged man came shuffling through
The corridors of this white place
And as he lay his body down
I saw the scars that lined his face
And injured souls came to his bed
To hear the stories he would tell
Of butterflies and summertimes

And everyone assembled here
Remembers how it used to be
Before the 27th came
This place will never be the same
He said
"I'm the king of sunset town"

He righted with a powerful cry as if trying to reach each and every one of the ends of his domains, to add, however, in a soft and full of love, almost with a whisper, he addressed to his wife.

Watch a big wheel turning round
Some go up and some go down
Some go thirsty some just drown
"That's the law round here"
"That's the law round here"
Said the king of sunset town
"I'm the king of sunset town"

(The King f Sunset Town. Marillion, credit to the artist)

-And you are my queen. The Queen of the Sunset Town. The Lady of Twilight, the Lady of the Setting Sun ...

Setsuna had listened between wonder and disbelief. That song was apparently very strange and full of sadness but nevertheless, beautiful. And, in spite of everything, what surprised her the most was that she had understood it. As she had thought before, something in the depths of her soul reacted to that lyrics and its meaning. She did not say anything, she just kept hugging him, recreating herself in that impressive sight for a moment, in the end she declared ...

-All your songs are beautiful and have a very deep meaning.

-That's right. - He agreed, relating with emotion. - So much so that not even the wisest of us has been able to unravel it. This song is believed to be a prophecy of someone who will come, or that was a fact of the distant past. And the one I sang, in homage to my ancestor, to send me an angel, well. That I believe has become come true when you came to me.

-I do not know if I will become an angel.- She sighed, emotionally in turn, also opposing with strangeness.- And here we cannot see the Morning Star ...

-Maybe it's just a poetic license. It does not make much sense.- Her husband admitted.- Well, we do not have a nearby world that gives us its shine to be able to call it that.

-But the beauty of this planet is undeniable.- The girl affirmed seeing how the sky turned to a crimson tinge as it was dusk.- And I am very happy to enjoy it by your side.

            Lornd nodded and gave her a long kiss on the lips and there they stayed long while they saw that same twilight. The sun seemed to travel its curve over the horizon in a slow but majestic way, as if in that way, he wanted to honor that moment of celebration ...

            In the city, meanwhile, the banquet began and everyone chatted amicably. It seemed strange to them that the two just married did not join them. It was Seira who, acting as hostess, passed by the tables and explained to them.

- According to our tradition the monarchs will be alone enjoying the view of their domains from the top of the mountain. The Peak of the setting sun. There our king will sing a tune that goes back to the times of our first ancestors, the founders of this kingdom.

-It sounds very interesting.- Haruka said.-

And immediately she received the assent of Michiru and the other sailors, who, along with Serenity, Endymion and Chibiusa, shared a long table.

-And what does the song say? - Chibiusa wanted to know with patent curiosity.-

- It tells the deeds of one of our kings. Descendant of the Great King Vegeta and his son and heir King Trunks. They are also the promise of something that will happen, although we do not know what ... -The Saiyajin commented to them.-

Seira kept a moment of silence when she saw the elderly Luarque and immediately approached him with great respect to ask him to come. The Chancellor Emeritus did it and the woman asked him.

-Excuse sir. Could you tell us the story of our sovereigns? You know her well.

            It was the old man who stared at her and replied.

-That is a long story. I would not have time to tell it all.

-Well, the one of the father of the father of our current sovereign.- His interlocutor specified.-

The old saiyajin nodded slightly and then, not only the sailors but also the others, who sat at the other tables, kept silent and listened with patent interest.

-Our race of pure warriors mixed with humans over time and for centuries we were dwindling in powers. Finally, the lineage of the Saiyajin was reborn. So one day, the father of Dronaos, the monarch I started serving in my youth, found the world of Alliance.

-Excuse me, Chancellor.- Roy dared to interrupt, with a deep tone of respect now to affirm astonished.- You are talking about my grandfather! True?

-That's right. - The questioner confirmed. - The great King Torans. And from your parents, Dronaos and Alisan. Cause the song that your brother will be singing to our queen is about the auguries of destruction of our world and your fight and theirs against those dark powers. Or that has been believed since then ... Although there are others who consider it as a kind of prophecy to fulfill.

- Yes, like the one that our king sang just after being crowned. - Seira pointed not without bewilderment to add.- Although we have never found any sense ... it is as if it were talking about a different place ...

- But with this wedding it is as if a circle were closed. - Bertie muttered. - As if things were going back to their place. At least I have that impression.

-That's my lady. I recognize Lorein, the Lady of Winter. The wife of Prince Asthel, who was called to be the king of the Alliance, in you.- The old man declared.-

-Yes, I am.- She admitted.-

-As my brother was from this planet. Before the evil is unleashed .-Roy affirmed. -

-We understand you perfectly.- Endymion intervened, affirming.- The same thing happened to us in the Silver Millennium and on Earth. That's why now we will not let ourselves to be taken unaware again.

-Yes, this time our worlds will be united to face any threat that looms over any of them.- Serenity sentenced.-

-Don't about doubt it.- Diamond intervened raising a glass and proposing a toast, which immediately, all seconded.- For the eternal friendship between all of us and our worlds!

            And after that toast they continued to celebrate the party. After a few hours the saiyajin were retired, although the group of terrestrials and members of the kingdom of the moon mounted their particular party with karaoke included. That's when the royal couple returned. They entered hugged by the waist and a smiling Lornd declared.

-I hope you left us something for dinner ...

-I'm sorry, big brother. - Roy smiled at him as he winked to add amusement, like the rest of the boys .- This was so good that we have not left anything, not even for the king.

-We are sorry. - Tom apologized somewhat embarrassed.-

-Don't worry, it's the tradition. It is the law here. And an old saying of my people already warns us about it. Eat and enjoy that tomorrow we may have to fight! - The Saiyajin replied with a jovial tone.-

            He was so happy and in such a good mood that anything would make him laugh. Setsuna, also in a carefree way, separated from him for a few moments to greet her friends and companions.

-How was that private excursion? - Rei smiled while she asked.-

-Please, tell us tell us! - Minako joined. -

-Girls Maybe that's precisely ..., private. - Ami opposed in some stiff way.-

- Go on now, stop bullshit! If you also are dying to know it. - Makoto fought back, as anxious as the rest to find out.-

            Setsuna smiled broadly. That's how her friends were! And the good thing is that they will always be, despite the distance, time and the adventures and tasks they would have to undertake. Since then, she did not ignore that everyone had a destiny to fulfill and that they would do it. So she got into chatting with them and telling them, like in the old days, something about that flight to the mountain ... in the end things got more spicy when Michiru commented.

-Well, the big moment has arrived, you are going to retire to the bedroom immediately...

-Michiru.- Her companion Uranus smiled, shrugging off her importance to declare convinced.- I think they will have already overcome that stage in their relationship...

- To tell the truth, not so much.- The queen replied to everyone's surprise.-

-Don't tell me that you and he, well he and you, no? ... - Minako asked as astonished as the others.-

-We never had much time for that. And when we finally had, Lornd said he did not want that. Anyway ... that is very fitted to the ancient customs of the Saiyajin ... He told me that, when we celebrated our betrothal.

            Haruka snorted, waving a hand, Ami became really red. On the other hand, an embarrassed Usagi covered the ears to Chibiusa with the consequent protest of the girl who wanted to know what they were talking about.

-It's not fair, I'm older now! – the girl alleged.- I want to find out ...

-In your dreams.- Her future mother denied practicing  talking as precisely that.- This does not concern you ...

            So the evening passed. It was already very late when everyone retired to their respective rooms. The newlyweds then said goodbye to them. The next day the guests had to leave. The new sovereigns, lying in their beds, were embraced after that hectic day. Now it was she who whispered to him.

-I'm going to miss everyone.

-Yes, like me. But now our life begins here. Finally, after so much wandering through the universe.

-Tell me something. - She asked intimately. - I never understood why you did not want me and you to sleep together until now.

-It is the custom ... - He said while stroking the long, silky and dark hair of his wife .- But now we can do according to the law of my people ...

            She nodded, looking into his eyes. With hardly time to say more he kissed her. Gently enough for the usual in a Saiyajin, Lornd caressed her and prepared to consummate their union. Setsuna felt pain at that moment but then she recovered, after a magic bean and the repetition of the act they ended up holding each other again.

-I hope I did not hurt you too much.- He apologized that he did not seem very skilled in those arts either.-

-I suppose that was the normal thing.- She declared that she did not seem to worry anymore about that. More when she added.- I am a Saiyajin woman, now. I must get used to it. And I want to give you strong heirs. I know that is the custom and desire of you all here.

-There will be no problem in that regard.- Her husband smiled at her kissing her again.- If they would be same as you. There will be no one more powerful and brave offspring in the entire cosmos.

            The former guardian of the time-space portal smiled at that and was able to give herself back to her husband. That's how they spent the night and part of the next day. After that, they slept until the dawn of the third day. At last they left their rooms. After grooming and dressing, they set out for breakfast. Seira waited with her breastplate and her ceremonial uniform, as befitted the Queen's guardian. She was the first to make a marked reverence and address her sovereigns.

-I hope that your Majesties have enjoyed your night of union.

-You cannot even imagine.- Setsuna smiled at her, winking. -

-Yes, we have had a great time. But now the government's obligations claim us. - Lornd added in a more serious way. -

            Seira did not comment. So she returned to give them another reverence and escorted them to the room where the table with breakfast was ready. Endless dishes with all kinds of delicacies. Of course the king ate with great voracity, in the Saiyajin style. The queen also showed that she was hungry after having satisfied other types of appetites. At the end they attended their first audience as official sovereigns of Nuevo Vegeta. Things went well. In this way weeks and months passed. At last, more than a year and a half passed. They missed their friends very much. Things in New Vegeta were quiet and Setsuna was very excited. She wished with great intensity to see her old companions and the rest of her friends, since after telling Lornd, she also wanted to share with others a very important news. That's how they decided to make a visit to Earth. A visit that would be the origin of another adventure.
