Well, here's the exciting conclusion to...chapter 7 at least. * Shrugs* any way...here's chapter 8 none the less! *** Last time... "Now it's pay back time..." *** "NANI!?" Trunks screamed as he was thrown into a large tree. Serena flashed away from where she was standing. "Where'd she go!?" Trunks yelled and franticly looked around. "Right here, big boy!" Serena came from behind (where they never seem to look) and landed a firm punch to her opponents back. Trunks flew forward and hit the ground...hard. Serena ran towards Trunks, but before she got there he jumped into the air and stayed there for a minute, where she couldn't get to him...or so he thought. As he was floating Serena yelled to him, "I thought you said 'no flying?'" "Well..." Trunks didn't have a come back. "Well, if you can break the rules, then so can I..." Serena smiled a wicked smile and vanished again. "Nani?! What did she mean by that?!" Trunks stayed where he thought he would be safe...in the air. Trunks looked around him when all the sudden Serena popped up right in his face. "Why hello there. How's the weather up here? Are you hiding from me Trunks?" Serena waved her finger in Trunks' face. "Bad boy..." Trunks was still in shock that she could fly, when Serena swiftly kneed him in the gut. Trunks' eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he slightly coughed up some blood. "Oh, did I hurt you? I'm sorry..." Serena chuckled a little and vanished again. "SHIMATTA!" Trunks yelled as he shoot into the clouds before Serena could catch up. "Oh...running away are we?" Serena flashed in front of trunks again and flew upward as he did. "KUSO!!!" Trunks screamed as Serena pulled both hands together and threw them down on Trunks' head. Trunks went crashing down back to earth. "Ok that's it!" Trunks yelled as he wiped his bloody face. "SHENA!!!" he lunged up ward and he and Serena started to do hand to hand battle. Each countered each other perfectly. They both had a few hits and kicks each, but nothing to damaging. "Ok, now I'm mad, enough of this kid kuso, let's get down to business." Trunks whispered in a cold tone. He lowered down towards the ground and put his hands in front of him. "Burning......" Trunks started his attack. "Ok, Serena, this is it...the real test..." Serena told herself. She stayed in the air. She cupped her hands and moved them back to her side. "Kamaha..." "WHAT THE!?!" Goten and Goku recognized the attack immediately for it was theirs originally. "Attack!!!" Trunks screamed the final word to his attack. "MEHA!!!" Serena yelled the last syllable of hers. The two huge fire balls raced towards each other. They met in a huge explosion. Both the fighters were equal at this point...Serena pushed all the energy she could out of her body as did Trunks. Their ki blasts were dead equal. They fought and fought. Serena would gain a little ground, then Trunks would counter with even more...until finally Trunks couldn't take it any more. "AHHHHHHH!!!!" Trunks screamed bloody murder as his hair turned yellow and his eyes green. His blast over powered Serena's and hit her dead on. Serena fell to the ground...limp. "KUSO! Not again!!!" Goku yelled as he ran to Serena. "Well, I didn't want to have to do this, but I think this is my only choice..." Serena mumbled from the ground. Suddenly she shot up and thrust her hand in the air. "MOON CRISIS POWER...MAKE UP!" she yelled as a new heart shaped locket opened and she reemerged as Super Sailor Moon. "Whoa! How did this happen?!" Goten asked. "It happened while I was training with Gohan. My locket just...changed, but I hadn't used it since..." Serena looked herself over noticing little differences. She had a bigger ribbon and a different locket. Her skirt was white, blue and yellow now and she had small feathers in her hair. "Now Trunks, we'll see who's stronger..." SSM gave Trunks an evil glare. "YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING!!!" all the men and Serena turned to look a the enormous voice. Chichi had apparently finished super. "That's enough sparring for today. Now all of you go get washed up and come to the table." Luckily she hadn't seen the actual battle to know that they weren't just sparring. "Yes Ma'am," Goten said as he rushed over to Trunks and yanked him inside before he could protest. *** Serena and Trunks were in the bathroom getting washed up when Serena finally decided to speak. "Ya know, I don't hate you or anything, it just ticks me off when someone else is stronger than me for some reason...I mean it never use to bother me, but ever since I came hear I've had this burning urge to just fight..." Serena blurted out. "I know how you feel, and sorry I went SSJ on you, I know that wasn't fair, your only human..." the moment Trunks said that he thought about something. She was only human. But how could she improve that fast in such a short time? And he had never seen a human do anything like that before. She had incredible powers for a human... "I know...so are we still friends, Trunks-san?" Serena held out her hand to shake his. "Friends." There ya have itJ ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
