Alright heres the last chapter. It took me a while but Im finally prepared to finish what I started. After this, be sure to check out my other fan fic, an Xmen Evolution story "Phoenix born from Ashes." The last chapter was mostly about Vegeta but now I'm going to move to other peoples perspectives. So…Here we go!

Last time in Moonlit Night…

(In Android 18's Dream)

"NO! Krillen! Marron! Come back!" With no reaction to her desperate cries, one by one, they disappeared and were replaced by her two brothers Android 16 and 17. "Brothers! Please help me!" They too disappeared leaving her alone, defeated. She had never shaken in as much fear as she did now since she had fought Cell. Her tears brought her to her knees as she cried miserably. The only people she ever loved were now gone. There was no hope left. Suddenly, there as an echo. A faint laugh. The noise grew louder and louder until it filled her ears. She tried to cover them but it seemed the laugh was so loud she couldn't block it out. "No!. Leave me ALONE!" she desperately cried. The laughing was so familiar, and she couldn't quite place it, but she knew it gave her a sense of fear and dread. A figure was forming in front of her. Only then did she remember the laugh. "No…They killed you…"

"Only my body…But I do not die. Even if my body is destroyed…I will always be part of you…just as you were part of me"

The Strength of the Moon

Part I

(The land of Dreams)

A shadowy figure stood above 18 as she crouched, tears of mourning and fear fell down her face. She flinched as a green hand touched her on her shoulder, but she made no effort to put up a fight. The intruders grip tightened and lifted her up so that she was face to face with him.

"Cell…" she gasped, wincing at the pain inflicted on her shoulder.

He laughed in maniacal glee. "Android 18. It has been far too long."

"Wh-What did you do…What did you do to my family?"

"You mean the pathetic short man you called husband and that pitiful child? My dear 18…I didn't do anything to them… You did."

She looked him straight in the eye only a second longer before bringing her face down. Cell's grip had loosened and she began to collapse. However, he was not done with her. He pulled his hand back and slapped her across the face, sending her flying to the side. When she landed, she made no effort to get up.

"What is the matter 18? Has my time of absence made you weak?"

Still there was no movement from the woman.

Cell advanced towards her slowly, and still she did not move. "It is you're weakness that took your family from you. You couldn't save them, just like you couldn't save your brothers 17 or 18."

The names of her brothers brought her out of her trance. Slowly, she stood up. "I am NOT weak." She looked up at the menace before her. "After Gohan defeated you… I found happiness on Earth. This was happiness that I had never felt anywhere else before. Being with Krillen… having adventures with our friends… Bearing Marron…" A final tear fell from her eyes and landed on the blackness that was the ground. Her face slowly went from looking down to glaring at the evil android before her. "I am not weak…Cell… Prepare to DIE!"

(Sailor Moon and Gohan are still heading to the castle)

Gohan had fallen silent after their words of encouragement to each other. Sailor Moon still cradled her unconscious cat, and clutched in her hands was the scepter. She felt its beautiful shape to be very comforting, reminding her of her Moon Kingdom mother; its rubies dazzling even in the darkness that had engulfed them. She had gotten quite used to the turbulence, and, protected by the white aura swirling around the half saiyans body, she barely even felt the wind.

"Goha-" She started, but was interrupted by the demi saiyan.

"Look."

The blonde girl turned her gaze to the landscape before them. She could see the power radiating from the spot where Gohan had pointed out.

"There is our destination. There is the castle where all this power is coming from."

Serena's eyes widened as she realized that this was it. They were about to enter a battle greater then any she had encountered before. They were now at a point of no return. Suddenly, she felt Gohans body stagger. Her eyes widened as she looked up to see a green figure floating above them.

Gohan looked up from his pain. "Dende!" He exclaimed in disbelief. He had stopped in his flight and started landing, followed closely by Dende.

"What are you doing here Dende!" He said as soon as Sailor Moon had hopped from his arms and stood behind him. However, as if the demi-saiyans words had not been said, the Guardian didn't utter a single word. He merely lifted his hand and prepared to fire another ki blast.

"Sailor Moon. Take Luna and head for the castle. I'll catch up to you later.

"I'm not going to lea-"

"GO!"

Sailor Moon saw the determination in Gohans eyes. Knowing that he could take care of himself, she headed towards the castle.

Once the blonde had left, Gohan turned back to Dende. He had not left his fighting stance. His hands were brought together in front of him and his green hands had turned gold. Gohan knew that this was going to end as a battle.

(The icy graveyard that was once Gohans front yard)

The yard was silent. A wisp of wind flew through the graveyard, whistling around the icy structures littering the yard. Not even a tree shook its leaves, and even though the day had started out with a clear blue sky, the heavens had turned to a purplish black as evil aura spread throughout the area. Then, a cracking sound was heard. Two statues; Videl, and Darien, slowly became lively again. The ice melted away from their bodies and they collapsed to the ground, both panting heavily. It was weird though. Their bodies had only moments before been frozen solid, but now, as everything was turning back to their normal state, they didn't feel cold at all.

"What hap… Where's Gohan-kun?" questioned Videl as she got up.

Tuxedo Mask also rose from the ground and stated. "I have no idea where he is… But look… I cannot sense Sailor Moon and Luna… so they must be gone as well. Videl suddenly jerked up in surprise.

"Chichi!" She suddenly remembered the frozen state Gohans mother had been in and quickly flew back to the house. Chichi was sitting on the ground in Gohans room, and turned to look at Videl as the girl entered the room through the window.

"Wheres my Gohan?" She stated, she looked very confused and disoriented, and had a hand on her temple.

"I… Don't know…" Videl said as she turned to Tuxedo Mask, who had suddenly appeared at her side. And he spoke only to Videl in return.

"We must go and find Sailor Moon and Gohan. I fear that they may be in great danger." The two got up, (Videl helping Chichi up) but unexpectedly, they heard someone yelling in the yard. It was Hercule.

"Otosan!" replied Videl. She jumped out the window and ran towards her father. Tuxedo Mask did the same.

"tosan! Why are you here?"

"To destoy"

Videl stopped, bewildered. From behind her father came two other figures.

"Eraza-chan! Sharpener-kun! I'm so glad to see you-" unpredictably, her two friends rushed towards her, branding knives. Videl stood, shocked at this hostility, and was unable to move. Just before the knives came plunging into her body, they were knocked away. Videl turned to see Tuxedo Mask standing beside her, clenching his night stick, which had lengthened prior to battle. Around them, more people were converging, all of them staring at them with hatred and a desire to destroy.

(Gohans place in front of the Guardian of Earth)

Dende's eyes opened wide as he tensed up and shot a beam of light at the startled half saiyan. Gohan easily dodged it and flew sideways, not wanting to hurt the child from Namek. Even though he was attacking the demi-saiyan, Gohan knew that deep inside, they were still friends, and that Dende wouldn't attack him without a reason. Then, all of a sudden, Gohan felt himself being grabbed from behind and pulled to the ground. He struggled, but felt a familiar ki and stopped resisting. Without warning, his vision went black and he fell into darkness.

(Gohans front yard)

"We have no choice but to fight back." Said Tuxedo Mask, dodging a man who was attacking him with a rake.

"But we can't hurt them. Their just innocent people. I know some of them and they would never attack like this." Reasoned Videl, flying over the crowd while dodging the flying shed and kitchen appliances as they came her way.

"But the fact is that they ARE"

"Why don't we fight them rather then with ourselves? Or maybe that idea hadn't occurred to you." Chichi was twirling her broom around as she knocked out two men waving baseball bats at her. She dodged some more people and used the brush of the broom to smack them the faces. The Ox kings daughter still had fight in her even after all these years. She was standing guard at the door, not letting anybody pass through. "If you want my son then you'll have to get through me!"

Videl and Tuxedo Mask stood there for a second admiring the woman as she knocked down three more men. Then the two of them also returned to fight the mob.

(Gohans battleground)

Gohan felt something cold splashed onto his face. He opened his eyes to find-

"Corin-sensei? Mr. Popo?" Gohan sat up, bewildered as he blinked at the newcomers. "Whats going on?"

"It seems that Master Dende has been possessed by Reikoku. As soon as he flew off the tower I became suspicious and followed" –Mr.Popo

"As soon as Mr. Popo flew by I became suspicious followed"- Corin

"So we both followed him. We found him attacking you and so we went to help."-Mr. Popo

"Although Dende isn't very powerful in fighting, his power seems to have been risen to complete this task."- Corin

"Neither of us could fight him, but we were able to escape with you by knocking you out and pretending we were helping you."- Mr. Popo

"Hold on" said Gohan as the two stared up at him. He stood up and surveyed his surroundings. "Where are we?"

"We are currently residing in a small abandoned tavern not far from where you landed. The castle is only a couple of miles away from this empty villiage." Said Corin.

"I need to go. Sailor Moon is alone right now and I need to get her to the castle safely."

"Then why are you not going?" said a very confused Mr. Popo.

"Because you are talking to me!"

"You are wasting time Impatient One"

"I KNOW!"

"Please Master Gohan, do not lose your temper."

Gohan sighed and got up to get out of the tavern. He found Sailor Moons signature power and started to fly towards it. However, he stopped when he sensed another ki. He turned to find Dende floating over the tavern. The guardian raised a hand and fired a ki blast at him. But then, as Gohan was preparing to dodge it, two figures flew from the tavern and floated in front of him. Corin and Mr. Popo took the full force of the blast and were pushed backwards, but they kept their stance in front of Gohan.

"ne…Quickly Speedy one." said Corin with a wince of pain.

"We will distract him Master Gohan. You must go and save the world once again." Stated Mr. Popo bravely.

Gohan watched as the two elders held out their arms to protect the demi saiyan. It was true, the two of them were more then capable to attack Earths Guardian, but they didn't wish to, for possessed or not, they still respected him. All they could do now was take the hits in hopes of buying time for Gohan to escape.

With a careful look at them, just to see the determined looks of the cat and Mr. Popo, he flew away at top speed in hopes to find Sailor Moon before it was too late.

A/N I decided to make this a part I and part II chapter because it would prove to be too long as one huge chapter. This one mainly focused on setting the climax, more action is guaranteed to follow! So to sum things up, Android 18 is facing her worst fear just as Gohan and Vegeta faced. Videl and Tuxedo mask have been unfrozen due to the victory Vegeta claimed over Hidoi, but now everyone in the city seems to be coming to attack them, so Videl, TM, and a butt kicking Chichi has to face a continuous line of people. Gohan is met by Dende who has been possessed by the evil warlock Reikoku, and Sailor Moon, with Luna clutched in her arms, is running towards Reikoku's castle. Tune in next time for the next exciting episode of Moonlit Night!
