Chapter 3 is coming at you. The VentureStar crew have entered the Saiyan ship for a rescue mission. From here on out, there is going to be a lot of action. Usual disclaimers apply Enjoy!! Sailor Moon DBZ Chapter 3 - The Rescue In a United States apartment, near Harvard, a lone occupant started cooking his Dinner. Darien decided to watch the news while he was cooking. Over the past semester, Darien has been enjoying his stay in the U.S. At first, he was glad to be away from Tokyo, because of all the sad memories of Serena, but half way through the Semester, he began to miss Tokyo, and has often thought about just going home and finish his education there. Just then, a portion of the news began to catch his eye. The Camera was showing pictures of a large triangular space shuttle at Tokyo Int'l tipping onto its back for a take off as the anchorman said, "Your currently looking at the prototype for tomorrow's space shuttles. This particular module belongs to the Capsule Corp. We've been told by sources that this shuttle lifted off from Tokyo Int'l just over 2 hours ago. Its crew's mission, which is believed to be the Dragon Ball team and the legendary Sailor Scouts, is to intercept an alien ship in Lunar orbit believed to be holding some Tokyo citizens hostage. The names of the hostages were not given to us, but we will give you further details as we get them. Now back to the studio." Darien turned the set off. If nothing else convinced him to go home now, that did. He should be up there with the Scouts, but instead he just ran from his problems when he should have faced them. He immediately went to the phone book to call a travel agent, and booked the next available flight back to Tokyo. Unfortunately, the next available flight was next week, all the others before were booked. Back in space, in the Saiyan hanger, Bulma and Sera powered down the VentureStar and told everyone they had to hurry, "Most likely, they have Saiyan troops heading this way right now. We were lucky to end up in a hanger that they were not using." Goku agreed, "Alright, we will be splitting into five teams. One Sailor Scout and DB member per team. Those not chosen should remain here to guard the ship, understood?" Everyone agreed. Sera spoke up, "I think Ray and I should pair off. She has a natural born fighting skills, and a temper to boot, and I got excellent fighting skills myself." Piccolo spoke up, "Of all the Sailor Scouts I've met, Sailor Jupiter should pair off with me just nicely." Jupiter agreed, as did Ray with Sera. Krillin volunteered next, "I think me and Sailor Mercury can get along just good." Amy didn't have a problem with it. Goku spoke up next, "Sailor Venus, you and I have the best combat experience of both the groups," Mina agreed and Goku continued, "The last team will have to be solely from my team, since we're out of Scouts, Tien, and Yamcha should do." After everyone in all five teams left the ship, Yamcha said, "I think we should all split up here to cover more ground and find the Tsukinos." Everyone agreed and went five different ways. Sera and Sailor Mars were walking down an empty corridor, being as careful as possible when Ray spoke up, "I don't like this. We've been searching for 15 minutes and we should have run into some kind of trouble by now." Sera nodded her head, "I know what you mean. I'm also a little nervous." This puzzled Ray, "How come? I only met you a few hours ago, but by what I've seen so far, you shouldn't be." "This is my first battle outside of training sessions back at Master Roshi's island, that I can remember anyway." "Ya, I've heard you lost your memory about a year ago. I know someone who can relate to you on that." Sera was curious, "And who might that be?" "His name is Darien. he was in a car crash about 11 or 12 yrs. ago. He lost his family and his memories. Just over a year ago, though a girl came into his life and they, eventually, fell in love. Unfortunately, she died just shortly after, or so we think at the moment." "Oh, are you talking about what's her name, uhhhhhh, Serena I think it is." "Ya, she was the leader of our team, Sailor Moon. In fact.......," Rays statement was cut off by an energy blast on the wall next to her. Both fell down and got back up to see two Saiyans in front of them, "Here's the welcome wagon, MARS FIRBIRD STRIKE." Rays attack hit one and he fell over, but he got right back up. Sera tried her attack, "KAMAHAAAAAAAMAHA." A beam of energy cut lose from her hands and hit both Saiyans in their sides. The two Saiyan split up to surround Sera and Mars. Sera started another attack, "KAIO-KEN ATTACK." Energy like fire surrounded Sera and she charged at a Saiyan, who grunted in pain when she hit his stomach. Sailor Mars sent another attack at Sera's target, "MARS FIRE IGNITE." The attack hit and finished off the Saiyan, but it also caused a section of the bulkheads to come crashing down on where Sera was, and she fell either under or behind the rubble, Ray wasn't sure witch, "SERA, NOOOOO!" Sera came to with a head ache. She got up onto her hands and knees when she noticed she was in a fog of some sort that was well lit. Then a figure appeared and walked up to Sera. Sera got back onto her feet to look at her and was about to ask who she was when the lady touched her forehead with the palm of her right hand. There was a bright flash of light there as memories began to flood Sera's head. Ray was very upset. True she took out a Saiyan, but probably at the expense of someone she grew to care about like a sister. She vented all her anger into another attack to fight the remaining Saiyan, "MARS FIREBIRD STRIKE." Her attack was true and she hit him right in the chest. She gave a shout at triumph, but was short lived when she noticed the Saiyan was still standing. She was about the try again when a voice Mars was all too glad to hear shout, "KAIO-KEN TIMES 10." The rubble Sera was near exploded, clearing the area. Sailor Mars turned around to shout for joy, but went into shock at what Ray say before Sera shouted her attack, "KAAAAMAAAAHAAAAMAAAAHAAAA." and another energy beam went out and finished the Saiyan. After it was gone the two embresed in a bear hug. On the bridge the Science officer reported, "Sir, one of the groups is getting closer to the prison level." "Tell the guards there to have the prisoners moved to the execution room to be terminated," the captain was not having a good day and was as mad as he could possible get. "Yes sir," the officer said. In the Tsukino cell, they were beginning to wonder when help would arrive when one of the guards entered, "The three of you are to come with me. Your being taken to be executed." This put frightened faces on all three Tsukinos. They agreed and followed the guards. The three guards have been walking the Tsukinos for 10 minutes now and they began to wonder when it would be over. Mrs. Tsukino had to ask, "Where are you taking us?" "Shut up you," the lead guard said, "Your going to be executed." "Over my dead body Saiyan-trash," shouted a voice. The guards looked around to see who said that when Ray shouted, "MARS FIREBIRD STRIKE." The flaming phoenix came out of Sailor Mars's hands as it went and knocked out two guards. The Tsukinos were jumping for joy, but the next voice put them into shock, "MOON SCEPTER ELIMINATION." Cliffhanger!!!! What happens next. Will they get off the ship alive?
