Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Golden Darkness ❯ Old Friend, New Enemy part two. Goten's Death ( Chapter 7 )

Let's you and me get something straight. Terra in the form she's in now (Brown Hair, Green Eyes) is her form of SSJ1. She can go SSJ2 (Blonde Hair, Green Eyes) and today she goes level three (Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes). In other words, she's identical to Serena in level 3.

Old Friend New Enemy, part two.

Goten's Death

"NO!" Goten yelled. Everyone turned to face him. He looked beyond angry. He looked like he was in pain. He scowled at Trunks. Above everything Goten was mad at Trunks.

"No! It wasn't V!" He shouted. Trunks tried to reason with the younger boy.

"Goten, I know what I saw. It was V. V's the only person we know with Silver eyes!" He said. Goten grabbed the flute and ran out. Serena tried to go after him, but Goku held her back. Chibi Chibi looked down.

"Let him blow off some steam. This must be hard on him." Goku instructed everyone. The others nodded. Terra pulled her cell phone out and dialed. She went off so no one would hear her...

***On the Mugen Delta***

"N…no! AH! HELP!" A boy yelled running out. The little girl was hurling food at him. He was using a tray as a shield. The older boy went to the phone.

"Cool it!" He shouted and picked the ringing phone up. Before he could answer a woman speaking English was talking to him.

"We've lost more." She said. He replied in the same language.

"How many does it make?"

"To many. Talk to the boy."

"Why?"

"Do it or I blab." She said, hanging up. Staring at the phone he hung up as well and lifted the baby up. He wiped her mouth and went towards the door.

"We've got another one." He said, leaving...

***At the Park***

Why? That was the only word going through Goten's mind. Why did it have to be V? Maybe something happened to V. Maybe...maybe she was fooled. Maybe V was tricked into being an Animate. Or maybe he was just holding on to a foolish, childish hope. He sat on a bench and buried his face into his hands. He had to face facts. V was an enemy. V was killing his other friends.

"What's wrong kid?" A voice asked. Goten didn't respond. A figure sat down next to him.

"Kid, I don't think I'm invisible. You gonna answer me or what?" He asked. Goten looked up, and into the big blue eyes of a boy not much older than Gohan. He was holding a child who seemed to be about two years old in his arms. Goten smiled when he saw the child. She reminded him of Chibi Chibi. The girl became fussy and reached for the Hybrid Saiyan. She sensed his sadness and wanted to...comfort him. The boy handed her over and she hugged Goten.

"Hug!" She chirped happily. The hybrid Saiyan grinned and hugged back. The girl smiled.

"Hugs make better!" She said in a soft voice. Goten blinked, not fully understanding her. The older boy chuckled quietly.

"I think she was telling you that 'Hugs make everything Better'." He explained. The girl smiled and sat in Goten's lap snuggling against him. The boy scratched the back of his head.

"Never seen her take to anyone as fast as that." He explained. Goten rubbed her deep blue hair and she giggled. The boy scratched the back of his head again.

"Never seen her giggle like that before either..." He said. Goten smiled. She was very cute for her age. He looked back to the boy.

"Are you her brother?" He asked. The boy shook his head. Did he look THAT young? Goten tilted his head slightly, confused.

"Are you her dad?" He asked. The boy sweatdropped. He wasn't THAT old!

"N-no! I've been assigned to protect her." He explained. He had sensed a deep power lurking in the boy. Odd for someone so young. Before Goten could respond, an explosion hurled him back into a jungle gym, still holding the child. The man stood quickly.

"What the hell?!" He shouted, turning around to see Sailor Phi right behind him. She was smiling wickedly.

"Are you ready to die the coward's death?" She asked, moving the staff to his neck. Responding just as quickly, he back flipped away, landing at a safe distance.

"I have nothing to run from." He said. Phi gripped the staff, and grinned wickedly. She threw it at him, trying to hit his neck, when suddenly...

"Star Sensitive Inferno!"

"Star Serious Laser!" The two voices shouted. Phi was blown back. Snorting, Maker went to check on the little girl. Fighter and Healer helped the man stand up. He dusted himself off.

"'Die the coward's death'?" Fighter asked. He shrugged. Animate's had always been after him because of what happened quite a few years back.

"It's a long story. 'She' would know." He said. Healer nodded and looked back to Maker, who walk walking up with the child. The man looked over to Goten, who was shifting around slightly. The boy had taken a hard hit.

"What about him?" He asked. Maker looked over as well.

"Forget him." Healer said. Her companions looked at her. Healer was undoubtedly the coldest of the three. Next to Maker that is.

"He's not important. He's weak. To be knocked out by the younger of the Star Gardeners shows true weakness. He's obviously not a fighter." She continued. The man looked over and closed his eyes. He then began to talk again.

"The guardian called me and told me to talk to him. If he knows her then...then he's important." He said, going over to help. However, before he could, an explosion threw him back. Phi rose from where she had been.

"No one does that to me and lives! Damn it! I'll kill you!" She roared and flew at the Starlights. The three stepped back. Phi missed and fell to her knees. She hit the ground with her fist.

"If I lose...Madam Galaxia will...she'll throw me in!" The Phi said. Growling, the girl stood and ran to where Goten was. The Starlights didn't realize this though...

"What the hell happened?" A familiar voice asked. However, looking up to see Terra, they saw a girl with Blonde hair and Green eyes. The man rubbed his eyes.

"T-terra?" He asked. The Saiyan girl blinked a few times and looked around at them. What was wrong?

"Guys? What's going on?" She asked. Suddenly, she noticed the color of her hair. Oops. She powered down, returning to her former appearance. She looked around again.

"Guess I need to explain...See, this is Super Saiyan for me...and that was my level two." She said. They nodded. She suddenly noticed the child and went to hold her.

"Aw! C'mere!" She cooed. Before anything could happen, she heard Goten yell. Snapping her head up, she looked over to where the shout came from. From the rubble came Sailor Phi, who was holding the child by his throat. Terra powered up again to the form she had been in, letting her hair down. She wouldn't run the risk of having to explain what she was. Unfortunatly, her hair went to her ankles. She didn't have time to worry over that. Goten was losing his Star Seed! Terra flew at the Animate, but the power that was being removed from the boy was blowing her back. Landing on the ground, Terra could only watch helplessly as he began to crumble. He only had one final hope. Reaching into her pocket, the girl pulled out her green stone. Trying once more to get to him, she would attempt to give it to him. However, she couldn't. She fell into Fighter. At that moment, Sailor Moon showed up.

"Se...!" Terra began. She caught herself and instead acted like she didn't know what was happening.

"Sailor Moon!" She said. Serena ignored her, not knowing who she was. She was more concerned about Goten.

"Starlight Honey Moon Therapy Kiss!" She called out. However, it was useless. Terra got back up, more energy forming around her. She HAD to get to Goten with the Stone of Memories. If he had it, it would act as a Star Seed and keep him alive until he could get his real one back. It did that for Terra. In a burst of energy, her eyes turned blue and she flew to the child. But it was too late...

"V..." Goten whispered as his body dissolved, leaving the Golden Crystal behind. Terra held the gem in her hand and Serena watched in horror. Phi grabbed the Star Seed and laughed in triumph.

"I did it! Madam Galaxia will be pleased!" She laughed. Serena growled and looked up at the Animate. She was angry. She was letting her emotions get the best of her. She was acting like Terra. She had broken a promise...she lied...

'And two...are you sure you can protect Goten...?'

'You bet!'

"You've made me into a liar...you turned me into a LIAR!" She screeched, kicking at the Animate. Phi jumped back, and cringed slightly at the jewel on one of her bracelets cracked slightly. She left...

"Se..." Terra began. Fighter covered her mouth and the small group left. Just the Gohan and Goku arrived in time to see Serena fall to the ground...crying her eyes out...

It's shorter than usual. I've just gotten over writer's block, so I think it's pretty good.
