Happy New Year! Hi, I'm glad to be back. Listen, I'll be revising many of my chapters to make them better. I reread them with the help of the reviewer and realised they could be better. So, in addition to updates, I'll be fixing the chapters. Expect some changes being seen.

Chapter thirteen: Can You Feel the Love? (Yeah, I thought so.)

Piccolo looked down at the young teenage warrior that was, at the moment, hugging his arm. No one, save Gohan, had ever dared to touch him in such a manner and here was this wisp of a girl, doing just that. He considered shoving her off, but his pride was having a losing battle at what his heart was telling him. Maybe he was dreaming this time. Well, there was only one way to find out.

"Ouch! This is how you greet me? By pinching me!" She exclaimed as she rubbed her bruised left shoulder.

Piccolo blinked. While he wasn't sure if he got what he was doing right, she did feel pretty solid.

"This isn't a dream? Am I really seeing you this time?"

"If this was a dream, it is a pleasant one, is it not?" She asked as she forgot the pinch already.

"I guess..."

She placed her hands on her hips and pretended to look affronted. "You guess?"

He rolled his eyes. "Okay, it is."

"That's better." She stated with a nod. "Now if you would just follow me, we can go see what could be done for you and our son."

'Our son? That does have a nice ring to it.' Piccolo thought as Gaea dragged him away from the gardens. He had seen Elysian Fields before, but he had never seen this part of it. Probably because it had nothing to do with fighting. This place was reserved for deserving and peaceful souls. But what caught his attention was the large golden palace that was in front of him.

"What's this place?" He asked, looking away from its brilliance.

"This is my palace. I normally go there to speak with my council or to help out the lost souls that seek their loved ones. Beautiful, isn't it?" Gaea giggled as she led Piccolo to her private palace. Piccolo was one of the strongest men in the universe, and yet he was making no effort to stop her from dragging him to her throne room. He seemed to be in a state of shock. However, he was taking all this very well. Without so much of an 'If you please?' Gaea shoved him hard on a purple velvet couch and sat on his lap. Piccolo was now eyeing her, bug-eyed, clearly not sure what to do now. It was not as if he was in any danger and this wasn't unpleasant at all. Gaea, on the other hand, knew exactly what to do. She leaned forward to kiss him when she suddenly felt him stiffen and stop her from reaching for his lips.

Gaea felt hurt when Piccolo stopped her from kissing her. He wasn't looking at her, but at the closed door in front of her. Gaea's hurt then turned into indignant rage when she felt several power levels behind the door. 'It's really hard to find good help these days.'

"Machalite, Nephlite! Get back to your posts! Jedeite, Zoisite! Get back to my son! I wish to have my privacy with Piccolo and I do not want eavesdroppers." She commanded with all the royalty of a queen. The sounds of several footsteps running and stumbling away could be heard, but she frowned when she still felt a strong energy behind the door.

"That goes double for you, Lady Beryl." Gaea added with an edge.

The sounds of footsteps walking away confirmed her that she was alone again. Smirking, Gaea leaned towards Piccolo again to try to kiss him, only to feel him tense up again. Narrowing her eyes, she turned to see if the others were still here. They weren't.

Then what could be...

She looked down to see Piccolo glaring at her.

"Why?"

"W-w-what? Why what?"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Gaea sighed. "Should have seen this coming."

"Why didn't you tell me I had a son? Why did you block my memories? Did you really think you could have hidden this forever? And why did you send him here, with no memory of anything except a few flashes and outside of his original age?" Piccolo demanded to know.

"I'm sorry. I know you wish to know this. Please have patience with me."

He sat up straight so abruptly that he nearly knocked her off him. "Have patience? You wipe out my memories and your own son's, send him to a dangerous universe away from the people he loves, lied to him and me; and you have the gall to..."

"Please, Piccolo. I have missed you. I missed you so much. Please... let me..." She finished the sentence with a kiss. Piccolo, who was still excited by the events, suddenly found his brain in a fog as Gaea kissed him. He didn't know what came over him as he found himself kissing her back. Something he would have at some point in his life, never thought of doing.

The kiss lasted a long time, both warriors lost in their passion. It was a while when they finally broke apart.

"Wow!" Piccolo breathed. So this was what a kiss felt like.

"It has been a while." Gaea agreed, equally out of breath.

He tried to glare at her again, but it came only half-heartedly. "So tell me again why you didn't tell me I had a son?"

Gaea sighed, got up and sat on her throne. "Make yourself comfortable. This will take a while."

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

"Alright, obviously, the queen wants to be left alone. You two should get back to check on Darien, Nephlite and I can take it from here." Machalite breathed after he and the others ran back to the gates of eternity.

"I'd feel more comfortable if one of us guarded the door though. Whether they had a child together matters not. This is a demon king with our queen! We don't know the first thing about him and he might harm her." Nephlite gasped as he took in his breath. Sometimes his queen could be almost as scary as a demon.

"Ahh, don't worry, Neph! Piccy may seem mean, but he's really a big ol' teddy bear on the inside. The queen's safe." Jedeite smirked.

"Oh really? Then kindly explain to me what that explosion outside had been earlier? And also where you got those nasty bruises?" Nephlite flatly asked as he surveyed the injured General.

"Eh heh heh, I might have made him a bit upset with me." He sheepishly smiled as he rubbed the back of his head.

"A bit? It's amazing that he didn't kill you, something I'm sorely disappointed in." Zoisite smirked maliciously.

Jedeite's smirk turned into an evil grin. "Say, Zoi? Why don't you go and spend a week with Piccolo? See how you like it? Maybe he'll develop a taste for girly-boy flesh."

"Bo-ys!" Machalite stressed the word out to indicate his impatience. "I think you have a job to do, remember?"

Jedeite and Zoisite both nodded their heads and stood up to head to the time gates. Nephlite eyed them thoughtfully before turning to Machalite.

"What has gotten into them? They've been at each others throat before, but now I think they're being downright ruthless."

Machalite sighed and closed his eyes. "Nephlite, have you been having nightmares lately after our reawakening?"

Nephlite's eyes widened. "I'm not sure what you mean, sir?" he mumbled as he looked away. Machalite chuckled humourlessly.

"Come now, Nephlite. I know for a fact that you have been dreaming of the death of Sailor Jupiter's death by your hands." He paused as he took in the look of agony in his face. "You were brainwashed. You couldn't have done anything to have stopped it anymore then I could have stopped myself from killing my Venus." He comforted. This time, Nephlite allowed anguish to enter his normally stoic face.

"You make it sound so easy to do. I wish I could do that, but I can't. I remember every attack I inflicted on her, every taunt, every torture, and every threat. I cannot forgive myself for it. I should have tried harder in fighting the brainwash, not succumb to it." He tried to control his heavy breathing. If he didn't calm down soon, he might breakdown. "But what does that have to do with the way those two have been behaving?"

"Everything, I'm afraid. You see, both Jedeite and Zoisite had been having the same nightmares as well."

"But that doesn't explain why…"

"Let me finish! Except the difference is that they did not kill their fiancées."

Nephlite blinked. They didn't kill their soul mates? But he knew they had died in their hands during the time of the silver millennium, so then why are they…. It suddenly hit him like lightning! "By the stars!" He swore with wide eyes. Machalite noticed the look of realization and nodded almost sadly.

"That's right; Jedeite attacked the planet Mercury while Zoisite went after Mars."

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

Back in the Elysian Fields, Piccolo was patiently listening to Gaea as she explained to him the situation. Naturally, he was a bit confused with all this.

"You're telling me, that Darien has to pass four tests to be king of Earth, and if he fails, he won't get the throne? That this was something the council set up for him, even though none of the other royalties in your ancestry ever tried it?"

Well, yes." Gaea failed to mention that the council had wanted to banish him to an empty sub-space dimension. It wouldn't do to have him worry needlessly.

Piccolo frowned. He had the distinct feeling that Gaea had more to tell and was purposely giving him as little information as possible.

"Is there anything else you would like to tell me? Like why our son is engaged to your friend's daughter that's eight years older then him, why the council sees fit to test our son? Speaking of which, how exactly did we even get a son? I happen to know for a fact that I can't have children, at least not that way." He asked the last one with a slight blush on his face.

Gaea chuckled. "Has anyone ever told you that you look adorable when you blush? But putting that aside, I will answer the questions as best as I can." She smiled as the golden insignia of earth made its appearance on her forehead. "Firstly, our son is engaged to the moon princess, who is four years younger then him, because they are soul mates. Unlike my husband and me, they were destined to be together. One simply cannot live without the other. They have proven that time and time again in the many battles they have faced. To answer the Terran question, they feel that they have to test him due to his demonic nature, which they did not know until after his second rebirth. They felt that he may place the Earth into a state of 'living hell'. Originally, they had wanted to kill him, but I talked them out of it. I was the one to suggest the tests. It would at least give my son a fighting chance. And finally, you last question is…." She seemed to be in deep thought. Piccolo waited for her to answer until his impatience got the best of him.

"Gaea, you were saying?" Piccolo interrupted as he watched Gaea snap out of her thoughtfulness. Gaea gave him a grin that reminded him of Darien when he was up to something.

"I won't tell you."

"WHAT!" He stood up from the floor and glared at her. She had some nerve denying him an explanation for the conception of his son. "And why the Hell not?"

Gaea smirked wickedly; apparently she enjoyed riling her soul mate up. "Instead of telling you, how about I show you. Would you like your memories back? I know Jedeite had already started to penetrate through the spell I made."

Piccolo looks away as he thinks about this. If he didn't take this chance, he might never find out what happened and how Darien was conceived. The memories might also explain why the 'Light' is after Darien. But, was he ready for the truth? Did he really want to know what happened all those years ago?

"The decision is yours, Piccolo. Do you wish to learn more about us, and what we meant to each other?" Gaea stated as she sat on the floor with her legs crossed. He looked deep into the eyes that reminded him so much of Darien and knew what his answer was.

"Yes. I want my memories back. I also want to learn more about you." He whispered the last part.

Gaea sighed. "Our memories together were wonderful and terrible. We had such bittersweet moments together. It will be painful. You and I had gone through many boundaries before we could ever admit our feelings. The fact that my responsibilities, my people's beliefs; as well as our laws have made it impossible for us to be together was part of the obstacle." She gave him a sad smile. "Your vendetta against Goku as well as your quest to take over the world also contributed to that."

He frowned as he remembered his evil days. "I'm not that person anymore."

Gaea smiled sweetly. "Well, I can obviously see that." She suddenly grabbed his hands and dragged him to another part of her palace, the area was growing darker and he felt a high level of energy from each room that he passed.

"Close your eyes and clear your thoughts, what you are about to receive are not only your lost memories, but a bit of my memories as well." She whispered a language that was far more ancient then even Latin and had her hands in a prayer.

Piccolo closed his eyes as he was engulfed in his and Gaea's hidden memories.

OoooOoooOoooOoooO

Many years ago, before the 23rd World Tournament, in a large, uninhabited forest...

Piccolo smirked as he felt her energy grow stronger, indicating that she was close.

'Little wench, how dare she! She will pay for defying me and the humiliation that has been brought to me!' He smirked when he thought of half the things he was going to do to her. He wanted her tortured and humiliated before he gave her the final blow. It was rare that he did that these days to humans and even rarer did he do that on a woman.

'Well no, she is still more a girl then a woman. Nevertheless, she is powerful; I've never seen anyone like her before. How come I never sensed her on this planet?' He thought. He was slightly confused, especially since she felt human and held no demonic power. He mused over this as he flew. Maybe...

"Of course! She must be Kami's avatar!" He shouted. It made perfect sense. The girl had said that she was Earth's champion and she seemed to know the Kami of Earth, when she had said she went to meet with him. That would explain why she was so strong, even for a girl.

'But why a girl? All Kamis in the past have been men. Why would Kami choose the weaker sex?'

He shrugged; he didn't know nor did he care, the girl would not live long enough to gain the mantle of guardian of Earth. He would see to that.

His smirk broadened when he felt her go to a full stop. 'Finally, I thought she'd never stop!' He flew full-speed toward her destination...

...And hid behind the bushes.

'What the hell? Where did all that power come from? She didn't have that kind of power when she fought me. Unless...'

'Unless she held back when she was attacking me!' The thought made him growl. How dare this ... girl ... hold her power back when fighting the demon king? Well, he'd show her! He had been holding back, too. He never fought at his true strength with humans; the only exception would be Goku.

He watched her from the side and noticed a golden aura surround her body. There was an insignia on her head that looked like the sign of earth, which was blazing brighter then her body. The forest around her seemed to sway in her direction as if to caress her. Wild animals from deep within the forest came in and snuggled up to her. He even saw some monarch butterflies land on her head and shoulders. It was as if the Earth itself was giving her all that power.

"Just who are you?" He wondered. He had never seen that kind of power before. She couldn't be a normal human. He made sure he was well hidden in his hiding spot to investigate the young girl and find out more about her.

Of course, it was because he wanted to steal her power for his own. It had nothing to do with the fact that she intrigued him.

OoooOoooOoooOoooO

Gaea powered down from her senshi form and called upon the powers of Earth to enable her to transform into Queen Gaea. She sighed, sadly. She was still far too young to be Queen, but the King and Queen were dead and she couldn't leave the fate of the people in the hands of her ministry forever. Therefore, she was crowned and married immediately. Her responsibilities had quadrupled after that: she not only had to lead her people to fight off the Lunarians, but she also had the responsibilities of the Queen, something she left to her mother while she used her senshi powers to defend Earth . It was bad enough she had to deal with a power-hungry husband, a five-hundred year old war and people who were slowly starting to doubt the young queen's ability to rule. She had to also deal with the council, who wanted her to produce an heiress to the throne.

She shuddered; the thought of touching that bastard made her skin crawl, but she had to produce an heiress somehow. Unfortunately, no seed had blossomed yet.

Tears welled up in her light blue eyes. What was wrong with her? Why couldn't she produce an heiress? Her husband had blamed her for it and claimed that she was barren. She was slowly starting to believe it. The healers claimed that nothing was producing; she had even made sure she had chosen her 'wet' month of her womanhood to get her child. Alright, she often complained that she would rather die then have any child with her husband, but that didn't mean she didn't want children all together. It just wasn't fair!

She wiped her tears away and took deep calming breaths as she regained her regal expression. It simply wouldn't do to meet the Kami of the Earth this way. She had to show him she was a strong and capable warrior, not a weak-hearted human. Fixing her tiara and making sure she looked presentable, she made a throne appear. The throne was golden with many jewels incrusted in them the front-arms had the heads of lions on them the insignia of Earth was at the head of the throne. While waiting her thoughts went back to the Demon king called Piccolo.

'Why didn't I just destroy him? He was going to kill them, anyway. I probably would have done this Earth a large favour by doing so. Nevertheless, this is not my world; therefore, I had no right to interfere in the first place. But still, he was going to murder those children.' It wasn't right, what he had tried to do! She had to intervene! If she had ignored it, she would have never forgiven herself for it. Besides, Beating up demons was a great way to relieve stress.

'He was remarkable. Unlike the demons that I have fought in my career as Sailor Earth, he relied on skill rather then raw power. He was also quite eloquent and articulate. Quite unlike those stupid demons I have encountered on my own Earth. He actually succeeded in breaking my jaw! No one has ever done that to me in so long. It's a good thing I can heal very easily. But what should I do if he decides to pursue me?' She became a bit thoughtful, it wouldn't be so bad to see him again, and he was somewhat cute. Her eyes widened again, what was wrong with her? Fine, he was very pleasing to the eyes, but she could not think such things. Demons were the natural enemies of Earth, soldiers of the Underworld. What did it matter that he was tall, well-muscled, and intelligent and had a smirk that made her weak in the knees... She was almost thankful that hot-white energy appeared in front of her, interrupting her thoughts.

Thankful, until she recognized the occupant of said 'white light'.

A young girl that looked about the same age as Gaea appeared with an air of calmness in her that would make even Piccolo lose most of his anger. (However, it did nothing to purge Gaea's fury.) She was about the same height and weight but that was where the similarities ended. She had her hair in twin bun pigtails. Her hair was white and silver that reached her ankles and her skin was, if possible, paler then Gaea's, almost snow-white. Her eyes made up for it, blue-grey eyes that held wisdom yet a newborn's innocence. She wore a long white dress that flowed down her body with silver lining all over it. Her forehead had a crescent moon birthmark that seemed to originate where the light had originally come from. On her back was a pair of transparent fairy wings that gave off a rainbow color. When she spoke, it was warm and friendly with a bell-like sound.

"Queen Gaea, what a pleasant surprise! What brings you to this dimension?"

"What in Hades are you doing here?" Gaea growled; Serenity's calming voice and aura having an opposite effect on her. Seeing the Moon Princess here made her power hit it's' peak. She pulled out a few blood-red roses that had many thorns on them. What was her ancient enemy doing here? Did she follow her?

Serenity smiled in the sweetest way, making no signs of acknowledging her threat. "I'm here because the Kami of Earth wanted my help. He asked me to come. Even though I am currently in the middle of a war, I simply cannot ignore those who cry for help." She replied.

"Impossible! I was called as well! Doesn't the Kami know we're enemies?"

"We don't have to be, you know. I'm sure you and I can be friends if you would just..."

"If I could just what, sell my soul and the souls of the people of Earth to your kingdom and serve you? I would sooner die then submit to the Moon, and I'm sure my people would agree with me on that." She snarled at the moon princess.

Serenity did not frown. Nor did she smile anymore. "I simply wish to purify you and your people of the chaos in your blood. It is the only way to attain peace and order. Your blood makes it impossible to obtain that due to the fact that Earth is a direct descendant of chaos. Your power is evil, like Saturn's. It stands against everything my family stands for. While we could not purify Saturn without killing them in the process, we did make sure that they would not use their power for evil."

"Oh really, how, by placing them in eternal sleep? By sealing their spells and making sure their only attack kills them in the process? I may find their powers dark and dangerous, but that does not mean that they, themselves, are evil. We do not make snap judgments about people and their abilities because it does not follow our ideals. That is what chaos is to us: A combination of positive and negative energy. You call it evil," She frowned. "But Earth calls it free will."

Serenity sighed as if she had heard this argument a thousand times. Finally, she looked at Gaea tiredly. "I did not come here to have this discussion. I came because the Kami of Earth has called for my help."

"No, he has called for my help."

"Actually, I have called for both of your help." A wise and deep voice interjected.

Both of them turned around to see a wizened green man with a staff step out of the shadows. They would have transformed if they had not noticed the sign of Kami on his chest.

"You are the Kami of Earth? You resemble that of that demon I fought not too long ago. Do all Earthlings of this Earth look like you?" Gaea asked, though she had seen the human children. Serenity looked at Kami with the same curiosity.

Kami blinked in surprise. "You met the Demon King Piccolo? And came here, unscathed?" He was now more relieved then ever. They may be able to help him with this threat.

Gaea smirked. "It was easy. The fool actually was of no real threat to me." She, of course, was lying. She was positive that he had been pulling his punches and it was only because she stalled him long enough to power up her Earth bomb that she was able to knock him down.

Serenity got down to business. "Please, tell us why you have contacted us. It is not everyday that guardians from another dimension actually call others for help, especially when the problems of this dimension are not ours and should be solved by the people."

Gaea normally didn't agree with the Lunarian, but even she felt that problems of other worlds couldn't be solved upon by those from other worlds. That would just cause many problems for them in the end and solve nothing in the end.

"We have a deadly enemy in our midst. They seem to have more power then I have ever seen and they have come for one purpose: To conquer Earth. So far, they have already taken hundreds of thousands of humans and the population is growing." Kami sighed as he remembered what state the villages were in when he looked down from the Lookout.

"I'm sorry to hear this. But as the Lunarian stated, the problems of this world are to be solved by your people. This has nothing to do with us!" Gaea felt inconvenient. She had other things to deal with and this temporary pause from the battle only stopped the inevitable war. Serenity nodded sadly in agreement.

"I cannot help you, either. The Supreme Kai and our predecessors agreed that we would not interfere in any of your wars or your power struggles. It would always end in disasters. I am sorry for your troubles, sir. We must leave now," She gave Gaea a significant look. "The Earth Queen and I have a war to finish."

"You seem to have misunderstood. You see, you are at fault for this trouble. So, it is your problem. Your problem, therefore, you will fix it!" Kami said with an annoyed tone in his voice.

"This is our fault?" Gaea repeated, not sure whether to be amused by this or offended. She could see that he was not joking. While she could not recall what she may have done to this dimension, but she did not think she could ever interfere in a world that was not her own. Even that Lunarian, Princess Serenity, would not do anything to this dimension. She had to abide to the treaty that had existed since the dawn of time. She could not afford to break it lest she wished to openly defy the gods and risk their wrath.

"Yes, you see, whether it was by accident or not, you two violated the treaty. Because of this, I called upon you to fix it." Kami said, now looking business-like.

"Those are grave accusations, sir. What makes you think this is our fault?" Serenity asked gently, hoping that this was simply a misunderstanding.

Kami gave Serenity a withering look. "Tell me, when was the last time you have seen your elite soldiers, Serenity? I believe they call themselves 'the light'?"

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

'What the hell are they talking about? Who are these people, and who are 'the light'?' Piccolo thought, frustrated at not knowing what was going on. He had stayed hidden within the bushes to see what he was dealing with. This Serenity girl's power was equal (if possibly more) to that of Kami. Whether she was holding back or not, he had a feeling that she would be easier to deal with through manipulation. She (quite like Goku) seemed trusting and sweet, her aura was proof of that.

'Her aura matches that of the Moon, just as Gaea's aura matches that of earth. Very interesting, but what does the old man have to do with this?' He thought as he continued to listen in the conversation. He'd have to be blind to not notice that Gaea and Serenity were not exactly friends, especially when it was mentioned that they were at war at each other. The conversation did also confirm that Gaea was royalty. It figured that he would pick a fight with a blue blood, especially one with battle experience on her belt. His thoughts went back to both girls as he tried to analyze them. He had to admit they were beautiful, by human standards, of course. Just because he was a demon did not mean he did not appreciate beauty when he saw it. He noted that Serenity appeared frail and delicate yet one can feel the great power within her. To him; she was soft, ethereal, with almost a celestial beauty.

But if he had a choice in beauty, he would have chosen the bold, dark, natural earthen beauty that was Gaea.

He frowned as he had listened in on their fight. Serenity reminded him of those idealistic, religious fanatics that used to chase him with holy water when he was a child. She apparently wanted Gaea to take the path of peace, but with a price. Gaea, like a true queen, refused to bow down to anyone, making her gain extra points in respect with Piccolo. She also didn't seem the type to be judgmental, another three-pointer. Then Kami showed up and she had the gall to make fighting him seem like child's play, making his anger for her grow. He was shocked to learn that they were from another dimension.

'Maybe in that universe, she is the Queen of Earth. Moreover, judging from her attitude, she is at war with that girl. I can't believe she's leading a war; she can't be more then fourteen years old or less. She can't lead a battle, no matter how powerful she is.' The thought of Gaea leading an army of soldiers while wearing that strange outfit was ...interesting, but pure fantasy. Still, where were her parents?

He blinked when he heard Kami talk about a new threat. He hadn't felt anything out of the ordinary, sure, he felt a tingle in the back of his head whenever he felt someone powering up, but that's natural with all those martial artists on Earth. He hadn't heard of any attacks, at least, none that would affect him in the long run. And Kami even said that it was their fault. He leaned forward to listen in further.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

Serenity gasped while Gaea snarled and proceeded to curse in a language that Kami was not familiar with. However, judging from the way Serenity was now looking at her, they were not exactly nice words.

"You do understand that they have been, as they call it, 'purifying' the people of Earth. I do not want them doing that, considering that we have a threat on the planet that may take advantage of them. I do not know how your world works but your ways don't belong here." Kami finished.

"But the 'light' are harmless. They only attack evil and help..." Serenity stopped when she received a glare from Kami.

"I do not care! They are on my planet, and how I run things are different from you. If I wanted to have world peace, I would do it my way. I do not need those so-called angels in my world. Get rid of them or I will contact the Supreme Kai, who will contact your gods and tell them what you are doing."

Gaea smirked. It was of no surprise to her that this was Serenity's fault. Nevertheless, she was a little shocked that the 'light' were here, deliberately breaking a treaty made by the Serenity line. Either the little Moon princess was a very good liar (highly unlikely) or somewhere along the line, Serenity lost control of her own soldiers.

'You can almost cut the irony with a butter knife.' She thought with glee.

She hated 'the light'. Not only were they a bunch of hypocritical, tyrannical, preaching, self-absorbed winged freaks with a major messiah-complex (like a certain Lunarian she knew) but they had an ability that made them even more dangerous then all the sailor scouts combined: they could release the negative energy from any living being.

Now most people would think that it was a good thing. Sure, when that happened there would be no wars, violence and hatred. All would be at peace and in harmony. No, scratch that, there would be no harmony. The balance would be destroyed. She, like her predecessors before her, believed that without chaos, existence would cease to be. To her and the Terrans, Chaos was more then the opposing force of order and at the same time, the attracting force. To her and her people, Chaos was power, power enriched by the heart. (1) It allowed people to invent things, (some good and some bad), it allowed martial artists to do the impossible and create new techniques for their fighting art. It caused them to learn both white and black magic to help humanity or to cause trouble. But most of all, it was the very thing that made everyone different, rather then the same. To Gaea, Chaos was the very essence in her element: souls.

The creatures of the Moon did not see it like that. To them, it started wars, made evil villains, attracted demons and just made a big mess. While that was true, Gaea believed that you had to take the bad with the good. Purifying would leave everyone almost dead, an empty shell of their former selves. As ruler of Elysian Fields, Gaea had seen what purifying had done to them. They had half of a soul and seemed in eternal torment without their other. It was not a pretty sight to behold, which is why she refused to have anything to do with the Lunarians. If the other planets wanted to be purified, fine with her. If they wanted to do this to their people, who was she to judge, let them realize their mistake in heaven. But no one will do that to Earth. Her ancestors had worked for centuries to prevent the moon from affecting their planet. So far, no one was winning and they only built more casualties from it all. Gaea would love to have peace on her planet, but everyone knew that Lunarians did not negotiate. They believed that their way was the right way and they would bring peace in the solar system no matter what the consequences.

Gaea bowed at her waist. "Worry not, Kami of earth. While I do not know how I am at fault in this, I will help and destroy the soldiers. You have my word as a guardian and Queen." She stood up tall and threw her hand up shouting:

"EARTH CELESTRIAL POWER!"

Once again, Gaea's clothes disappeared in a flash of golden light and golden ribbons were hugging her body. When the flash died out, she was back in her Sailor Senshi mode. Serenity, seeing that she was staying after all, sighed and shouted:

"MOON ETERNAL POWER!"

In addition to a flash of white light, the audience also saw white feathers flow around her. Her outfit was similar to that of Sailor Earth's except she had three different layers of mini-skirts of yellow, red and blue. Her top had puffy pink sleeves with a white ribbon on it where a large star broach sat on her chest emitting a strange power. Her long white gloves had a red strips on her wrists and around her neck was a Red Crescent chocker. She did not have a tiara on her head, but she did have pearls all over her silver/lavender hair. The crescent birthmark glowed brighter then ever. On her back were even larger and more powerful-looking fairy wings.

Sailor Earth fumed. She just had to reach her eternal form. It just wasn't fair that Serenity had this much power!

"Since this situation is beyond my control; I will speak to king Yamma about the situation, who will no doubt tell king Kai of the north about this. Hopefully, they will allow this alliance for now."

Piccolo's eyes had widened when he saw Gaea and Serenity transform, leaving them nude temporarily before getting a skin-tight bodysuit with an incredibly short mini-skirt. He took note that Serenity's outfit and power was different from Gaea's and assumed that Serenity's outfit was more powerful then hers. They were obviously going to stay now, but what to do about the so-called light?

He had to get rid of them, somehow. He could not afford to have 'saviours' here while he tried to rule Earth. It would just bring too much aggravation in his life.

Piccolo eyed Eternal Sailor Moon as she flew off along with Kami and took note that Sailor Earth was heading towards the woods. Smirking, he decided to follow her. He would personally question her about the 'light' and when she tells him enough; he would put her through hell before sending her there. Standing up, he focused on her ki and sped towards her.

Sailor Earth had felt Piccolo's presence before Kami had shown up, thanks to the planet itself. She knew what he wanted and had feint ignorance so she could decide on what to do with him. The 'light' was her first priority, but the demon king could prove to be a bother if he wasn't dealt with soon. She had originally thought of vanquishing him when an idea had hit her! Why not use him to draw out the 'light'? They sensed evil presences and they would have to purify him. Naturally, since demons thrive on darkness, the process would wipe him out from existence. In addition, during that time, she would destroy the 'light' with her golden crystal.

'Kill two birds with one stone, as the old saying goes.' She thought with a tiny giggle. She giggled a bit louder when she felt his energy draw nearer. Using the powers of earth; she hid herself behind the elemental powers of nature, waiting for her time to strike.

Piccolo looked at the spot where Sailor Earth should have been, only to find it empty. He then felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see who had approached him when his nose suddenly exploded with pain and he collapsed unceremoniously on the grass.

Many decades from now, Piccolo would faintly remember seeing a white gloved fist impact his face.

Gaea glanced down at the unconscious demon king while she rubbed her hand. What was this demon made of, steel? She picked his legs up and proceeded to drag him to a tree. She wished then that she had the Jovian princess' infamous strength; it would make life so much easier. She then proceeded to strip him of his cape to allow her to tie his hands and feet to the great oak in front of her. She suddenly regretted it when she saw his shoulders and muscles. Piccolo was definitely a warrior and not some energy demon. She had barely noticed that she was slightly feeling his chest. What in Heaven and Gaea have gotten into her? He was a demon king for goodness sake, not some brave warrior from a fairytale her mother used to tell her. There was no reason for her to eye him like a bar wench; she was a queen and a Sailor scout, after all.

Calming her thoughts, she stood him up and held him on the tree. She then cut the cape into strips and used them to tie him up. Using the golden crystal, she enchanted the cloth to hold Piccolo. She did not feel bad at all in what she was doing to him. She was a soldier, a warrior first before she was even a queen. The war had taught her many things. One of the harsh things that it had taught her was that there were no rules in battles.

Besides, she had the feeling that if the situation were reversed, Piccolo would not only do the same thing, but would maniacally laugh while doing it. Well, not maniacally, but he would probably enjoy himself.

'Now to wait until he wakes up. After all, the 'light' can't sense his spirit if he's unconscious.' She couldn't help but sigh wistfully.

"Too bad you had to be evil. You really are cute."

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

(1) I was playing sonic adventure during my Hiatus.

Oh dear, Piccolo is in trouble! But he won't be for long. Will Gaea ever fall for him? Will Piccolo take this sitting down? What made the 'light' become out of control? Find out in the next exciting chapter of 'His Path'.

Well, it has been a long time people. So sorry, I'll try to update more often. (If school hasn't killed me yet.) Anyway, on the next chapter of 'His Path', we see Darien preparing to leave Earth with Vegeta, Trunks, Goten and his Guardians. During their training, we see the true power of the guardians as well as the 'light'. People who shouldn't be here are being seen by the Z-fighters. Sailor Moon is here? Jedeite and Zoisite are intent on killing each other? And what's wrong with Darien? Is he …. dying?

Before we get to my sister's interview, I was asked by a reviewer if it was okay if I got rid of the American names and gave everyone in this story their Japanese names. I have no problem with changing it since he was nice enough to give me a website that had their names, but do you, the readers want me to do that, since I'll be revising this story anyway?

And now, for the interview that we all hoped for (and dreaded): The interview with Piccolo Daimao, the demon king of Earth and Hell, and the father of Piccolo.

Interview with a Defunct and Has-Been Demon King

Piccolo Daimaō: Has-been? If you don't change that title, not only will you not have an interview but those weak appendages you call arms will be summarily yanked from their sockets.

Dude: O.O

Alex Damioh: Change the damn title, Dude!

Interview with the World's Most Feared and Respected Demon King

Piccolo Daimao: Much better.

Alex Damioh: Great. Now that you're cooperating, why don't we start the interview?

Dude: Uhhh, is Piccolo stronger than you?

Piccolo Daimao: What a stupid question! That incompetent son of mine's lost his strength after losing the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai to a complete idiot. I actually depended on him to restore the demon name to its former glory, and he can't even do that. In fact, he failed miserably. Damn him! Correction: Bless him! Let him go to heaven with his goody-goody friends. He won't step a foot in Hell as long as I'm-

Alex Damioh: Obviously you're very upset by your son's actions. How do you feel about him loving Gaea?

Piccolo Daimao: Well, I actually hoped that he was trying to redeem himself by pretending to love her so he could finally rule the world. But obviously…..Ugh. Obviously he is ….infatuated….. with her.

Alex Damioh: Or not. It could be a part of his plan.

Piccolo Daimao: (glares) Don't toy with me, human! The only thing great about her is that she helped produce a beautiful grandson. Beautifully evil, that is. Unfortunately, his real nature is clouded by Piccolo's goody-goody genes.

Alex Damioh: Actually, Darien is more like his mom; his demon personality comes from Piccolo's side.

Piccolo Daimao: Hmph! I didn't think he had any demon left in him.

Alex Damaio: Well, you're mostly to thank for this. You're the sire of the whole 'demon pathos' thing.

Dude: Is this over yet? I think our Goku needs to use the bathroom.

Piccolo Daimao: (looks at Goku who is continuously jumping up and down with one hand holding his groin and the other holding the camera.) What? Goku! You're dead! (Powers up which causes objects around him to disintegrate)

Alex Damioh: Oh no! The set!
