Terrina-Zephyr's Mysterious Past

Sailor Animate Omega's last battle

"Serena?" Terra asked on their way to the arcade. Serena looked over to her, blinking.

"Yea?"

"Have you...noticed that strange scent Seiya always has?" She asked again. Serena nodded and smiled. She thought it was a pretty scent.

"Yea. Lilacs. Really sweet lilacs." She said.

"You know, it was that same scent that made me leave this family I was staying with." She said. Serena blinked. Didn't Terra like it? Even Gohan thought the scent was kind of nice.

"I hate perfume. The smell makes me vomit...and that house always smelled like Lilacs..." She explained. Serena blinked and nodded (Note- In 'A True Friend' she explains that Perfumes make her sick to the point of vomiting...then she throws this guy into a display case...well it Guardian Earth who does this, but oh well.)

"Tell me about it." Serena urged. Terra sighed and thought back...

***Flash back***

"God! Damnit boy, why does it stink in here?!" Terrina demanded from the younger boy. He was holding a baby in his arms.

"I don't smell anything." He said frowning. Terrina had opened her window, but the smell still filled her nostrils. She gagged.

"How does Terra put up with this?!" She shouted. The baby was asleep. Terrina lifted her 'brother' off the ground.

"Explain to me why if we're the same then WHY IN HELL DON'T YOU SMELL THAT?!" She shouted, dropping him. The baby began to cry. Terrina covered her ears, growling.

"I can't stand it! TERRA! Pack up brat! We're moving back on campus!" She yelled, storming out with her things...

***End of Flashback***

Serena stepped away slightly. Terra...was MEAN. Well, more precisely she was a full blood Saiyan. There were times, even now, where Serena had difficulty telling the difference between Terra and Vegeta over a phone. Terra blushed.

"Yea. Well anyway, it's that exact same scent." She said. These two boys also had a few more secrets but she decided to not tell. She knew why. She knew about these three stars. She had sworn to never tell. Serena changed the subject.

"So Terra. You know, you and Vegeta are an awful lot alike. How come?" Serena asked. Terra thought a moment.

"Well, have you ever heard about his past?" She asked. Serena nodded. She had heard him rant about it to Goku before.

"Of course. About a million times. He always talks about this 'Zeph' girl." She said. Terra grinned. 'Zeph' was it? Vegeta finally stuck with a nickname for her?

"He was talking about me. Zephyr is my Saiyan name. I wanted to be called Terrina, so he began calling me Terrina-Zephyr. I guess he finally settled on 'Zeph'..." She said. Serena's eyes went wide. THIS was who Vegeta was friends with?! Darien's sister? It figures.

"You're THE Zeph?! The girl who nearly got him killed?" She asked. Terra closed her eyes.

***Flashback***

"If we're caught, and actually get killed this time..." A younger Vegeta warned the little girl. She tied her hair back, and looked up at him with her dark eyes.

"I'd risk falling into the Zero Star than let him catch me. You just say you didn't know." She told him. The Saiyan Prince had no way of knowing that she was secretly hoping she'd be killed. The lady said it wouldn't matter. And if she were killed the others would be to. Then Freeza couldn't hurt them anymore. But Vegeta would never understand.

"The lady said that if I could get away, things would be better for us all." She explained. Vegeta rolled his eyes.

"Listen 'Terrina-Zephyr', that lady was a hallucination. You said that she had a mark on her forehead that looked like a crescent moon. The Silver Millennium ended a thousand years ago." He said. She climbed into her pod, and closed the door...

***End of Flashback***

Terra sighed. God, she missed those days. Serena was amazed.

"He never mentioned he helped with your escape. Hey Terra! Why don't you tell him who you really are!" Serena suggested. Terra gagged on her drink, and spit it out. She looked to the younger girl as if she had gone crazy. Then she laughed loudly.

"For a second....I thought you......were serious!"

"I was." Terra quit laughing instantly. This girl was stupid. She HAD to be!

"TELL HIM WHO I AM?! Are you CRAZY?! He'd KILL ME!" She shrieked. Serena fell back, shocked. What was her problem?

"Look Moon Face...Terra...my future self...she said Vegeta hated her because HE got in trouble for MY escape." She said. Serena nodded.

"Oh...I....didn't know..." Terra wrapped her arm around her companion, grinning.

"It's okay. I'm a scout like you. I could take him!" She said. Serena smiled.

"Yea. And lose a few teeth in the process!" She said. Terra stopped and pretended to be insulted. She watched Serena walk on. She drew what appeared to be a gun from her bag.

"Oh that's it. You are so dead!" Terra shouted, firing. It was a water gun. Serena got drenched. Shrieking, she tried getting away. Terra went after her, squirting her repeatedly. The two girls ran down the street, laughing and playing around. Terra was enjoying herself immensely. For the first time in her life, she was having FUN! Maybe...maybe she and Serena could do this more often. Just have fun. Maybe...

"That's it! You're going down Saiyan!" Serena shouted, taking a water gun of her own, and squirting back. Terra squealed and ran to hide behind a mail box as Serena used a trash lid as a shield. A long war began between the two. Terra was loving this. She was never able to just...have fun. Not since her papa died...

***Flashback***

"Papa! Papa!" The little girl called. She was in the medical ward, looking for her father. Her large Green eyes sparkled, thinking of the activities she and her father were going to be able to do now that his mission was over. Just then, shouting could be heard. She found a window looking into the room her father should have been. She jumped, trying to reach it, but was too small. She whined and kept trying. Just then, someone lifted her up to look in. She didn't look to see who had helped her. She was too busy watching the horrifying sight unfold before her...

"We know you were planning on escaping Monkey, and you were going to take your brat with you!" The man shouted. The girl's father was leaning against a wall, holding his injured shoulder. He was covered in cuts, bleeding heavily. She could even see that his tail had been ripped off his body, as she could see the muscles and bone that had once attached the appendage to his body.

"Where is she?!"

"I won't...tell you where Zephyr is...I..." He choked out. A Ki blast incinerated him before he could finish his sentence. Zephyr's eyes widened, tears spilling out. But Saiyans don't cry.

"Saiyans don't cry. I'm not apposed to cry. Papa never cried..." She said. But she couldn't hold the tears back. She turned and buried her face into the person's shoulder and cried...

***End Flashback***

Terra reached a hand to her neck and pulled out a tiny silver locket she always wore. It had the name 'Zephyr' written on it in the Saiyan language. Inside was a picture of her father in it. Before her escape, Vegeta had found a picture of her father in the database and made the locket for her. It was years before she had realized Vegeta made it. It was his final act of their friendship. Serena looked to her, frowning. Terra was sad. She sat down on the bench next to her and looked into the locket.

"Wow. Who's that Terra?" She asked. Terra smiled a little, rubbing the moon shaped locket Vegeta made. He said that since she had been seeing a person with that symbol, it'd be perfect.

"This is my real papa. I...I watched him die. I was little. About three of four. Vegeta held me up to see if my father was okay and...I saw him die." She said. Serena reached over and hugged her friend. Terra only recently realized that he had not died on a mission, as Vegeta told her. He softened the blow. She now remembered watching him be murdered. Murdered because he was planning on taking her far away from there. There had been a planet not to far off that was important to the Saiyans. Not even Freeza knew of its existence. It was rumored the Saiyans evolved there. For that reason, if something important had come up, a Saiyan could get permission to travel there and be sent to another world. Terra knew of people who came from there. They were living on Earth...

"WOAH!" Serena shouted as an explosion threw her and Terra forward. A girl in a Mugen uniform, with long dark blue hair stepped forward, wearing those damn bracelets. She had red eyes and a long bluish tail...

"We meet again." She said. Serena recognized her as the girl from the concert last week. However, the girl's eyes were locked onto Terra.

"You're..." Terra began. She knew her. It couldn't be. No it wasn't. Gohan, who happened to be in the area recognized her too. No! She was too old! This was the kid JunJun attacked at the mall!

***Flash Back***

...She walked around the mall, looking for someone. She stopped outside a martial arts store.

"You call this quality?! Come on! My sister can sew better than this! And she's four! These outfits rip too easily! Look mister, either you get a better one or you'll hear from my lawyer!" A female voice shouted. Gohan blinked. Whoever this was sounded more intimidating than Vegeta in a good mood, Bulma and Chichi!

"Good!" She shouted again and walked out with a shopping bag. Gohan looked. He nearly fainted. This girl wasn't even ten! The other girl bumped into her, causing the girl to spill her stuff.

"Oopsie. Sorry kid." The girl with Green hair said. The other girl stood.

"You'd better be! You made the mess so pick it up!" She shouted...

***End of Flashback***

"You're that kid...You're the kid Rini and I saved..." He whispered. Terra stepped back. She knew her too. It wasn't to long ago. Was it?

"Ky...?" She asked. The scout grinned.

"You remember me then. I'm impressed Earth." The girl said. Terra smiled.

"You're alive!" She shouted and went to hug her old friend. She got a Ki blast to the face. Terra fell back into Serena. Gohan kicked the girl, but it did nothing.

"I wouldn't try it. I'm stronger than you." Ky taunted. Terra sat up. She finally noticed the bracelets.

"Ky...what are you?" She asked. In a flash of light, the girl had transformed into a Sailor Scout.

"I am a Sailor Animate." She said. Flicking her wrist, the key pen fell from Terra's sleeve, and into her hand. The forbidden transformation. But to take this scout down, she didn't know if the pen held enough power to return her to Hell. It was at that moment both Vegeta and Goku had felt Gohan's power rise and went to investigate. Terra didn't turn to see who had landed behind her. She knew.

"Vegeta, you're biting off more than you can chew if you take this one on." She warned, never taking her eyes off the Animate. Vegeta glared.

"Girl, who do you think you are to tell ME what to do?!" He demanded. Terra sighed. Well. It was now or never. She lowered her left arm, enough to let him see the scar on her wrist. Vegeta almost went nuts. This girl was Zephyr!

"Earth Power!" She shouted, transforming. Ky grinned, and punched her in the face, sending her straight into Gohan. She landed on him, nearly crushing him. Ky smiled. Standing, Terra ran at her with all the intention of grabbing that tail. Due to...unplesent Trial and Error a few years back...she had learned that that tail was as sensitive as her own. Ky whirled around, and grabbed Terra's hidden tail instead. Terra instantly collapsed. Ky laughed wickedly.

"Don't you get it? I am the invincible Sailor Animate Omega!" She shouted. Twirling the older Saiyan over her head, she let go, sending her into a building. Terra reccognised it as a building she and another member of her former Sailor Team had visited a few years ago.Maybe it was still here. She got up and looked. Back at the fighting, Vegeta and Omega had gone to hand-to-hand combat, with Vegeta losing. This girl was just too powerful. However, Vegeta was aiming for those bracelets. It was obvious it was a weak point as she wouldn't let him come near them. Serena was helping Gohan stand. He was having problems getting up. Terra was shorter than he was, but she was no where near being lighter. She was quite heavier than he was. He nearly had every bone in his body turn to powder. He groaned.

"How much does she weigh?" He asked. Serena shrugged. She quickly threw him to the side as an attack headed straight for her. She was hit. She began to scream as a strange flower formed infront of her, and out of it came the Silver Crystal. Before Omega could grab it, Terra's voice stopped her.

"Stop it Ky!" She yelled, holding a box. Omega growled and punched at her former leader. Terra jumped to the side, and held the box up. The box was plastic so you could see in, and it was wrapped with a dark blue ribbon. Inside was a Rain Tree Music Box. Ky stopped what she had been doing and stared at it. Terra held it out, as an offering. The Animate took it, and ripped the lid off, being gentle with the item. It began to play its song. Her eyes softened.

"Don't you remember? September 15th. Your Birthday. Karen and I...we bought you this same music box..." She said. Ky only looked at it, falling to her knees. It was exactly like the one...the one Phi and Chi destroyed to break her spirit. The symbol of friendship.

"Yea. This was...it was my first gift from a friend." She whispered. Terra nodded. She hugged the other girl.

"What happened to you Ky?" She asked. Omega looked at her own wrists. What DID happen?

"I was...I was in Hell. For my normal shift. My punishment for my sins. When this little girl appeared before me. She said something and...and..." She began. Terra continued hugging her. She would get to the bottom of this. No one messed with her friends. No one.

"It's okay Ky. It'll be all right. W...we can help you. Your parents can." Terra said. Ky shook her head.

"I...I killed daddy..." She whispered.

"That explosion last month...that was you and your father, wasn't it?" Terra asked. Ky nodded. Gohan remembered it. It came close to mimicking the energy created by him and Cell.

"Everyone in the house died..." Ky explained. No. Gohan stepped forward. He had been to that site after the battle. Only two people survived, and one died shortly after. He had been given a large family photo as well. He pulled it out of his pocket and looked at it. He went over to the two girls, and showed Omega the picture. He pointed at the picture of a little girl with short brown hair. Omega looked.

"This girl here is still alive." He said. Omega blinked.

"M...Midori is alive?" She asked. Gohan nodded. Quite miraculous actually. She came out of that explosion that killed a level two Super Saiyan-Demon hybrid with only one, very small, bruise. Omega grinned.

"I should have expected as much." She said. Both Terra and Gohan didn't get what she ment.

"Midori was adopted. We found her while hiding out in a hidden valley. She is actually a dragon in human disguise, her father being a powerful dragon himself. He died over 400 years ago and her egg hatched less than two years ago..." She explained, standing. Gohan nodded. Made sense. Very strange sense but oh well. Omega held her hand out to Terra. A doll formed in it.

"Give this to my sister." She said, getting up. Terra stood with her. Ky's eyes became blue and she transformed into a seven year old girl again.

"Ky...?"

"I'm going back to Hell now. I hate to say this but...I belong down there. I...I don't think I can ever come back." She said, holding the music box to her heart. She reached to her wrists and pulled the bracelets off, fading away with the item. Terra looked at the doll...

***Three Days later***

Terra walked into the valley, signaling for the others to stay behind. She took the doll Ky had given her and went in. She came up on a cave, where she saw the four year old girl sleeping. Terra grinned and took a piece of paper and wrote something on it quickly, attaching it to the doll, and setting it next to the child. She left the cave without saying a word, and returned to the city...

'To my sister Midori. I am sorry I cannot see you again, as I must now leave. I appologize for all I have done and can only hope you will forgive me for leaving you. Perhaps some day we can be togather again. All of us. Though I do not know when, this is my promise to you. Your sister, Ky.'
