Chapter 1:

The deepest reaches of space always seemed like it was empty. It was always so quiet and nothing ever seemed to happen out there. But in the galaxy of the Silver-Saiyan Alliance, things were always happening, even if it was very quiet. Things that were not good for anyone.

The ship carrying Diamond, the Prince of the Black Moon Kingdom, and his two companions, Ruby and Emerald, were hurtling across the empty space towards their home moon. They had spent almost a year in the empty reaches of space, traveling world to world, and learning about the people as they went. And they did learn quite a few. Some of the people were friendly, some were not.

"Diamond," Ruby suddenly broke into the white haired Prince's thoughts. "We're finally approaching home."

Diamond blinked at the window he had been staring out from before he looked over at Ruby, who was piloting the small ship. Beside him was Emerald, also helping with the navigating. She had been awfully quiet for the last several weeks. She didn't speak very much too either one or neither of the Black Moon princes knew why. All that they knew was, she was still upset as much as they were about getting beaten by one of the Sailor Scouts.

"Good." Diamond said now sitting up straighter in his chair. "Make the preparations to landing near the palace." He told them before pausing for a long moment. He could see how agitated Ruby was starting to get. He knew why. While Emerald was hard to read, Ruby was easy. He was getting angry that Diamond was ordering him around, even though they were equally brothers. Ruby was only a few years younger than Diamond, actually the youngest male of the Black Moon Family. But he still didn't like being ordered around without any gratitude. So, Diamond gave it. "Ruby," he watched his red haired brother turn his head to look at him. "Thank you for flying the ship. You were always the best pilot out us."

Ruby was surprised that he was actually getting the thanks but then his lips curved upward a little as he looked back out the window in a better mood. Even Emerald smiled to herself as she stared out into the dark oblivious of space. Before the ship, they could see their home moon before them.

The Black Moon Kingdom was settled on a black moon, due to that it hardly had any sunlight, other than a far distance sun. But it wasn't just that light hadn't touched the surface of the moon that made it black. The very rocks and dirt of the moon was black. Like the White Moon, it was a beautiful place, only with darker and more gothic like structures. The very moon was black as obsidian, which it was somewhat made of. Everything was nearly made out of obsidian. At least the Black Moon palace was. The Castle was almost as beautiful as the White Moon Family's castle was, but more gothic like.

Diamond smiled faintly as they approached the space port of the palace. He was home and that was all that mattered. He would return to this place and take his rightful place as King of the Black Moon family. He was the oldest of the siblings, alive, so therefore, it was his birthright.

As the ship finally landed on the docks, there were already guards there to intercept any visitors. It actually surprised Diamond, Ruby and Emerald. They hadn't been expecting guards to greet them like this. It was like they were expecting company. So as they made their way off of the ship, the guards immediately recognized Diamond and bowed to him.

One of the guards moved closer. "Master Diamond, you are back." He spoke in surprise.

Diamond nodded as he lift his chin up, looking more like his title. His eyes narrowed lazily on this guard. He didn't recognize him, but then again, he hadn't been on the home moon for quite some time. "Yes. I am back. As is my younger brother, Ruby, and one of the Black Moon Princesses, Emerald." He told the guard, who quickly bowed to the two, who were more grateful towards Diamond for his remark. "I have returned to take my place as king. Where is my mother, the Lovely queen, Amber?"

"She is in the Court Chamber, my Lord. She is with her husband and your father, the Great King, Lord Onyx." The guard reported.

This surprised Diamond and his two companions. They had not been expecting to hear that at all. The last time Diamond had even seen his father, Lord Onyx, the king of the Black Moon Family, he had been a young boy and Onyx had exiled himself from the Kingdom after the death of one of his sons, who was actually Diamond's older brother, if he had not died. Almost ten years ago, Diamond's older brother, Obsidian, had gone with Onyx on a trip to conquer a nearby planet.
Unfortunately, they had underestimated the enemy and he was executed, or so King Onyx had said. The body of the oldest brother was never recovered. Eventually the Black Moon family had won the war because of the rage the father had for the death of his son, but he still blamed himself and decided that he would exile himself from the Kingdom for failing. He left Queen Amber in charge of the Kingdom until Diamond was of age to take over as King.

Why Lord Onyx was back, Diamond was not sure. But he decided that he wanted to find out. So Diamond motioned to the guard to lead the way and even gave the sharp order. The guard nodded quickly and led Diamond and his two comrades through the darkened halls of the Black Moon Palace.

Soon enough, Diamond, Ruby and Emerald were led into a grand Court Chamber, all lovely as the rest of the castle and lit up well with energy balls and flames. The ceiling of the chamber was almost 10 stories high and had elegant stained glass windows. The large beams crisscrossed, holding the ceiling high and elegant. The tile floor was made of white quartz and black obsidian stone, both colors swirling around and around each other. There were several urns on pedestals against the walls in the room, which held the ashes of the once proud royals of the Black Moon Family. The oldest son's ashes were, however, not among them because the body had not been found.

However, neither Diamond, Ruby nor Emerald were looking at the elegance of the decors of the room. No, it was on how many people that were IN the room.

It surprised all three to see that the entire Black Moon family, sons and daughters, cousins, aunts, uncles, everyone, were there. Some were dressed in black silks, or bright colored outfits, all looking just as elegant as the other. They were royals and they showed it off. But what bothered Diamond the most was why were they there?

"What in the name of the Black Moon is going on here?" Diamond muttered with annoyance as he moved closer to the large crowd. His eyes searched the crowd for his parents but it wasn't easy trying to find them in this place. But his eyes did catch a lovely woman making her way over to him, smiling seductively and with amusement.

She was a lovely creature, but he shared no interest in her. He knew her too well. She had pale blonde hair, the color of a yellow pearl and wore a similar gown. The pearl colored gown was long and full of ruffles but was extremely beautiful. In her hand, she was waving an elegant peacock feathered fan, which also was dyed pearl colored. Her lovely deep blue eyes found Diamond's and almost smiled at him.

"Well, well, well. Look who has decided to come home." She spoke in a lovely, serenade voice.

Diamond gave her a cool look but it was Emerald who glared at this lovely woman with almost utter hatred. Ruby just rolled his eyes and folded his arms over his chest. "Oh great. It's the slut of the BM Family." He muttered.

The pearl colored woman gave him an icy stare now before turning back to Diamond, smiling once again. "Prince Diamond." She spoke.

"Pearl, do tell me, because I am dying to know, what in the hell are you doing back here, and in my palace?" Diamond asked coldly as he placed his hand onto his waist.

The lovely woman, Princess Pearl just shook her head as she waved her fan in front of her face, as if cooling herself off. "Oh, did you not hear, Diamond? I suppose you have not because you have been too busy off on your own quest to satisfy your lust on the Princess of the White Moon, Serendipity." She laughed softly.

"It's Serenity, you dumb broad. And so what? Just tell us already." Ruby snapped.

Pearl gave him a cold look before she paused as another joined her side. This one was a largely built man, wearing dark green. His hair was black and green, almost like poison and his eyes were almost black. He was definitely the strong man type, his entire being built large. He was not the most handsome man but he was not bad looking either. He was actually rather liked because of his strength, though he was not too intelligent. And he looked as vile as they knew he was. "Well, well. If it isn't the spoiled brat returning home."

Diamond narrowed his eyes even more as he looked highly annoyed with this one. He also knew this man and he in particular did not like him at all. "Hello, Krypto. What are you doing here?" He asked coolly.

Krypto just smirked at Diamond and tilted his large head. "What, Pearl didn't tell you already? You're sure under informed. Your father returned to the Palace because he heard you left, blowing off the title of King of the Black Moon Family. He's come back to choose a new heir for the King." He told the white haired prince. "As far as I can say, I am going to be the new King. So bow down to me, brat."

"What?!" Diamond exclaimed, gaining a lot of attention. "I am Prince Diamond! The throne belongs to me, Krypto! I am rightfully the next King!"

Pearl just shook her head as she snapped her fan closed and she tapped it lightly into her hand. Her eyes almost sparkled in delight at her relative's rage. "Oh please, Diamond. You didn't even want to be King of the Black Moon Family. You were too busy daydreaming about being the King of the Stars." She then shook her head, her light colored curls bouncing on her neck. "So tell me, Diamond. Did you become the King of the Stars? Or did you lose to a monkey?"

Diamond's eyes snapped wide open as he looked at her. He was flabbergasted that she knew that he had lost Serenity to a Saiyan. But how? How did she know? And who else knew?

As if they both read his mind, Krypto and Pearl smirked coolly at him and shook their heads. The larger family member shrugged lazily as he folded his powerful arms over his chest. "Yeah, we know all about how you lost to a half monkey, Diamond. The news has been all over the Universe. Do you really think we're that stupid?"

The dull look he received from all three, Diamond, Emerald and Sapphire clearly said, Yes.

With a growl, Krypto threw his fist back at his side and started forward, looking ready to punch Diamond. "Why you little…..!"

However, before he could get any closer to Diamond, someone stepped into the path and used the hilt of his blade to keep Krypto back. It was a man. He was rather handsome, maybe in his late thirties, early forties. He had a strong look about him, a sturdy build and he really did look like a soldier. His hair was black, peppered with white and gray, though he was still rather young. He was wearing mostly black with a white cloak around his shoulders. Though other than just white, there were black waves mixing in with the white, making it look almost like granite.

And that was his name.

Diamond looked surprised to see this man, but seemed to approve of him. He smiled faintly as he folded his arms and tilted his head to the side till his long white bangs hung over his deep blue eyes. "Well, Granite. You're still here. I was aware that you had left." He spoke lightly.

The Captain of the Guard, Granite turned his stone colored eyes towards the young Prince, and they softened. He looked almost happy to see him. With only a nod, he lowered his sword, stepping into the path between Diamond and Krypto. "My young prince, you have returned. It's good to see you well." He then shot Krypto a look when he started to go around him, his hand tightening on his blade. "Do you seriously want to keep threatening the young prince, Krypto? Especially right in front of the honored King and Queen." He nodded over his shoulder. Everyone looked over to see the couple approaching.

Lord Onyx matched his name rather well. He wore a similar outfit to what Diamond was wearing, only his was dark gray with onyx decors on the front. He even wore a dark gray cloak around his shoulders. In the middle of his forehead, his Black Moon insignia was in plain view, with only a semi circle of his bangs around it. He looked very much like Sapphire though, more than Diamond. And on the end of his chin, he had begun a goatee, curling around his chin.

Queen Amber was still as beautiful as she had been when she was younger. She was very elegant and aristocratic, yet there was a very strong look about her. She looked like she was not afraid of most things. She had a kind look about her, which was a total opposite from her husband. Her amber colored hair was pulled up into a trailing tail full of glossy curls and her eyes were almost amber colored as well. She wore a gorgeous gown full of the colors of Autumn with exception of the deep red cloak trailing off of her shoulders. She also had the Black Moon Crest on her forehead, yet she also wore a white gold tiara with an Amber stone embedded on it. She looked very happy to see her second and youngest son though.

Upon sight of the King and Queen, everyone bowed to them from the waist, even Diamond. He showed upmost respect for them, more than he ever did for anyone. Other than Serenity. "Father King, Mother Queen." Diamond spoke in a low voice.

Lord Onyx just nodded in satisfaction and that was the sign for everyone to return to what they were doing. He then let go of his lover's arm so that she may greet her son in a more appropriate way. Queen Amber moved forward and offered her hand to Diamond, who took it delicately in his hand. Without a word, he bent over her hand and gently kissed the back of it. "Diamond, it is a pleasure to see that you have returned safely." The lovely queen spoke before she took her hand back from him and gave him a hug, which he returned.

"Mother, it is a pleasure to be home." Diamond said kissing both cheeks as she did the same. Then he let her go to Ruby and do the same. His eyes, however, went back to Lord Onyx, who still showed no emotions whatsoever. This was something that Diamond could never get used to. His father was so emotionless that it sometimes worried him if the Black Moon King ever loved him as a son in the first place. It was always Queen Amber who showed her emotions, and, so she claimed, his emotions too. "Father." Diamond spoke as he offered his hand to the King.

Lord Onyx just stared at him for a long moment before he let his son take his hand. He watched Diamond do the same as he did to his mother, kissing the back but they did not embrace. That was something that Onyx never did do with any of his children. "Diamond, so you have returned." The King had a low, but monotonous voice. It was something that no one could stand to anger. It put fear into the hearts of most of the servants.

Diamond nodded as he backed away again, his eyes looking into his father's black ones. "I have returned to accept my fate as the King of the Black Moon Kingdom. If it is still to be mine."

Lord Onyx only shifted his head slightly, yet did not look away from Diamond at all. He didn't even seem to believe what the white haired Prince said. "Whatever happened to your dream to becoming King of the Stars, my son?" He asked almost testily.

Diamond instantly knew that his father was not amused at all by his dream. So he lowered his gaze. "I have lost a losing battle, father. I am not to be King of the Stars. The title has been taken by a Saiyan, the Saiyan Prince, actually." His eyes then flickered up to his father's black ones. "Of course, I believe you may have heard the details already."

"Yes. We have." Onyx said sounding not pleased. "News has reached us from the Planet of the Icejins. We have heard of what that Saiyan brat, Prince Trunks almost did to you." His eyes narrowed almost darkly. "That is why, I have decided, Diamond."

Diamond almost looked too worried to even find out. But he had to know. What did his father mean? Did the Black Moon King mean to take away his right as King? Was he going to hand over his title to the likings of Krypto? God forbid it, though. With someone like Krypto as king, Black Moon Kingdom was in for a rough ride. Krypto was greedy and he would exploit everyone to doing his bidding. And who knows what he'd do to Diamond. Or to Emerald for that matter. Krypto was already putting his arm around the annoyed green haired beauty and winking at her. Emerald did her best to ignore him but she couldn't ignore the fact that he was now touching her butt. So she yanked away from him and moved even more closely to Diamond. She knew it usually annoyed him when she did that but she wanted Krypto to leave her alone. But to her surprise, Diamond put his arm around her waist, giving Kryto a dry look. "Father, what is your decision?" The white haired Prince asked, his eyes still glaring at Krypto.

Lord Onyx merely glanced in the direction of Krypto and chose to ignore the fact that he was glaring at his son. The King knew that the young son of his second cousin's cousin did not like Diamond. So instead, he looked back at Diamond and lifted his head. "I have decided, Diamond," He paused for almost an affect. "That we shall take the title of King of the Stars."

This surprised everyone. There were a few murmurs already and Diamond looked almost taken back by the answer he had been given. He even dropped his arm from Emerald's waist and he stepped back, staring at his father. "What?" He could not help but ask.

"You have heard my words, Diamond. Th King of the Stars shall be one of the Black Moon princes. For the past month I have been thinking about what I've been told by messengers of different planets." Lord Onyx now turned away and started to walk towards a pair of large black doors. Queen Amber immediately followed in his wake, as well as did Diamond and his companions. Krypto and Pearl hesitated before quickly following. This bother Diamond a little bit but he didn't say anything. He would leave his father to ordering the two fools away. But he did not as they entered the large library where Lord Onyx did most of his reading and studying.

"Diamond, I have heard of these past several months, of what you have tried to accomplish. I have believed myself to be a fool for exiling myself away from the Kingdom when you needed a father. I should have not left." Lord Onyx spoke as he went to the far way then whirled around. He motioned to Granite, who was the last to enter the room, to close the door for privacy. "If I had not gone, you would have not run off to chase your dreams of taking Princess Serenity as your queen and becoming the King of the Stars. You would have not been so close to death for the betrayal of Chaos."

Diamond frowned as he stared at his father. "How in the world did you know….." But he was quickly cut off by the raise of the King's hand for silence.

"Diamond, though you nearly were killed because of your foolish actions, your actions made me think deeply about what was to come." Lord Onyx spoke before he suddenly was smiling. And that made everyone nearly shiver. Whenever Lord Onyx smiled, it was not a good sign. "My son, I have thought things through over this last month while making everyone believe that I was going to choose a new heir. That rumor was only to bring you back as fast as you could home to make sure that it would not happen." He ignored the angry protest from Krypto. "I wanted to involve you, Diamond because you were my oldest son, alive. Therefore, it is your right to be King."

Again Diamond tilted his head, looking too curious. "Father, you have heard that I could never be King of the Stars. Prince Trunks has become the mate of Princess Serenity. I cannot become King of the Stars." He told his father.

Lord Onyx only shook his head as his black eyes nearly sparkled. "And why is it that Princess Serenity is the Queen of the Stars, and he the King?" The very question stunned Diamond into silence as he stared bewildered at his father. He wasn't really sure where his father was getting at. But he had a feeling that this was not going to end well. When his father got a crazy idea, he always went by it until he got it. And usually he did get what he wanted. Lord Onyx was not one anyone should trifle with. "The Silver-Gold Crystal." Lord Onyx said as if it were obvious. And he smirked when several eyes of his family widened. "Yes. We get the crystals, you can become King of the Stars, Diamond."

Diamond slowly shook his head, already starting to doubt this plan. He knew for a fact that it was impossible to take the crystal from Serenity if she did not hand it over. There was no way she would give him the crystal anyway. She hated him. And Trunks was too powerful to fight. He and the other Saiyans. "Father, that is a fool's errand. The crystal can not be stolen. It will not work for me if I just take it. It rightfully belongs to Serenity and will not work if I do not……" Diamond was arguing again.

Lord Onyx looked very impatient now but he kept his temper. He just placed his strong hand on his waist and shifted his weight to the other foot. "If you do not become a part of the Silver Alliance. I know the rules, Diamond. I have known them longer than you have. I am your father and I have lived longer than you." He said gruffly. "That is why you become a part of the White Moon Family."

Again Diamond looked doubtful. But he did not want to anger his father with questions. He knew it was impossible to change his father's mind now. Though he would have to keep trying. If he did not stop his father's crazy plan, he and maybe several others would end up killed or enrage the Saiyans once again. He had already been banished from Earth. There was no possible way that he could go back.

"My Lord," Granite decided to speak in Diamond's behalf. "If I may speak freely, our Prince Diamond may have a point. As he has told us, Princess Serenity has already chosen a mate, a Saiyan. There is no way that we can change that." He spoke. Everyone slowly nodded in agreement, though Krypto didn't like to agree with Diamond. He was forced to because the white haired brat had a point.

"That is why Diamond shall not take Serenity as his Queen. He shall take another female of the White Moon Family." Lord Onyx said with amusement before he sharply clapped his hands together with a loud snap.

As soon as he clapped, the doors opened and in walked an unlikely group.

A few of them had taken Diamond by surprise, as well as Ruby and Emerald. Especially the large built Icejin, King Kold and the dark queen, Beryle. He remembered them too well. They had only tried to help him destroy those cursed Saiyans but failed. But his eyes flickered to the beautiful blue skinned Icejin Princess, Lady Icecha. He did not know her but he was sure that she was related to King Kold. There was some resemblance from them. They were both flanked by the two Saiyans, Nappa and Raditz, who both looked very put out as well as two black clothed people who resembled too much like ninjas, both wearing demonic masks; a fox and an ox.

Queen Beryle was accompanied by her four Generals, Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, and Malachite. They stood rather close to her, as if they were guarding her, which they were of course.

After them came in a pair of humanoid looking people, though one of them, the female, looked more human than the other did. She would have passed as a human girl if not for the pointed ears somewhat sticking out from beneath her hair. She was rather beautiful and seductive looking, it even had Ruby gawking at her with wide eyes and a jaw nearly touching his chest. She had a small heart shaped face with deep ice blue eyes to die for. They were almost the same color of a blue moon. Her long silky dark brown hair fell to her upper back with two pure white strips of bangs hanging around her face. Her companion was a Namek. He had dark green skin and wore blood red Namekian armor. There wasn't very much to put him in details. Only that he was skinnier, yet broader than the Z Fighters' Namek, Piccolo.

"So," began Diamond eyeing King Kold, the Saiyans and Queen Beryle with distaste. "What are you doing here and what do you want?" He asked coolly. He glanced at Lord Onyx when he held up a hand for a silence.

Then the King of the Black Moon motioned to King Kold. "You know King Kold already, so I do not have to introduce him to you. But you do not know his daughter, the Lady Icecha." He told his son. "She is the leader of a band of Space Pirates called the DarkStars. They, as you can see," He motioned to the two Saiyans and the ninja guards. ", are made up of Saiyans and other people of the farthest reaches."

Diamond just narrowed his eyes at King Kold then his daughter. But then his eyes flickered to the moody look on Raditz and Nappa's faces, who were eyeing the other two with distaste. "Father, who and what are the other two? The masked ones." He asked motioning to the ninjas.

Lord Onyx did not answer but looked to Icecha. It was clear that he did not know himself by the dull look on his face. Lady Icecha stared back just as dully before she, without looking at her two guards, motioned to them. "Bal, Celeste, remove your masks and reveal the identity of your race." She told them in a quiet order. Her cool tone even made Diamond shudder. She was definitely one of power, that one. But the two ninjas obeyed their mistress by bowing to her and pulling off their masks. It surprised all to see the lovely face of the one called Celeste. Her dark brown hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail and her cool amber colored eyes were slowly moving over each that looked at her. As for the one called Bal, he was the same build of Krypto but clearly stronger than him because of what he was. Diamond, Ruby and Emerald knew immediately that he was stronger. His hair was black and cut very short, almost military cut and his eyes were a deep brown, almost black.

For both of them were Saiyans.

Celeste's dark brown tail hovered around from behind her then wrapped around her slender waist to where everyone could see. As for Bal's, he just let it hand loosely around his left leg. Diamond, however, frowned as he studied Celeste's face. He could see a very familiar resemblance to someone he once knew. And it made him question, who was this creature? And why did she look somewhat like Princess Serenity's guardian, Artemis?

"You, what is your name? And are you related to the Albino Saiyan, Artemis?" He finally decided to ask.

The female Saiyan continued to stare dully at him, as if he had not spoken to her but then her eyes flickered over to Icecha, to see if she was to answer. The Icejin Princess glanced back at her before nodding. Then Celeste returned her eyes back to Diamond as she took one step forward. "My name is Celestial. I am the younger, and only, sister of the Albino Saiyan."

This surprised Diamond too much to even speak. He had not been aware that Artemis even had a sister.

"Now, I think it best if we continue with the introductions." Lord Onyx said as he ignored the surprised look on his son's face. He motioned to Queen Beryle and her Generals next. "You, Diamond, already know Queen Beryle and her Generals. So there is no need to make introductions." He then motioned to the last pair, the woman in white and the Namek. "As for these two, you may not remember the young mistress here, but this is the Lady Guardian of the Moon, Syren. And this is her guardian, Ruto."

Diamond's eyes lit up at the name of the woman. He had not heard that name for quite a while and it surprised him to hear it again. The last time he had heard that name, it had been from the long distant past. "You." He spoke in surprise. "You were….."

Syren smiled almost seductively at him but also showed no interest in him at all. She just lazily looked at him and nodded. "I was once the Guardian of the Moon, Head Guard of the Lunarian Kingdom. Until my downfall after the war between the Lunarians and the Saiyans started. Yes, I know. It is me." She said in a bored tone.

Diamond just frowned as he continued to stare at her before he looked at his father. "Father, what is going on here? What are all of these people doing here?"

Lord Onyx just folded his hands behind his back and stood up straighter. "We, my son, are going to take over the Silver Saiyan Alliance and force Princess Serenity to give us the Silver/Gold Crystal and hand her title over to us." He motioned to all of the guests. "I have invited all of our new allies together here to discuss the battle plans and we have all agreed on the terms. When we take over the universe, it shall be separated in four parts. The North part of the New Black Moon Kingdom will be ruled by King Kold and the Icejins. The South shall be ruled by Queen Beryle and the Negaverse. The East will be ruled by Lady Syren, and that includes the White Moon Kingdom for that is where it lies. And as for the West, we shall rule the rest and the center. All parts are divided equally, my son. You shall be King." He told him.

Diamond was quiet for a long time before he lowered his head. He looked like he was thinking too hard about what was being said and what would happen. He knew for a fact that all of them put together were a powerful army and they could possibly overcome Princess Serenity, her Sailors and the Z Fighters. It was a possible victory. And Diamond almost agreed immediately.

That is until his younger brother, Sapphire's face flashed in his mind.

Sapphire.

He had begged Serena and Trunks for his life, Diamond's life. He had pleaded that Diamond, Ruby and Emerald be spared from death. To live in the Black Moon Kingdom and banished from Earth. He was friends with the Sailor Scouts and the Saiyans. And he was Diamond's younger brother.

So further ado, Diamond slowly looked up at his father, almost too seriously and shook his head. "No." he spoke quietly.

This surprised all, even the Black Moon King himself. Lord Onyx frowned as he stared directly into Diamond's eyes and tilted his head. "No?" he asked just as quietly. "What do you mean no, Diamond?"

"I mean, no. I am not going to agree to this. I will not become the King of the Stars, Father." Diamond told him as he shook his head. "I was banished from Earth and I have promised Serenity that I will not return to cause her any more grief or pain. I keep my word, my lord King. We, the Black Moon Family, are going to leave them alone."

There was a very cold silence between father and son, who looked right into each other's eyes. All just stared at the two in astonishment. Never in his life had Diamond ever stood up against his father in any plan that he made. But now he was. He would not allow the Black Moon Family to bother the Silver-Saiyan Alliance again.

"And just who do you think is King here, Diamond?" Lord Onyx spoke coldly, his black eyes narrowing on the white haired prince.

Diamond shook his head as he lift his chin higher. "I am, Father. You just said it yourself. I am to be King. And I chose to be King of the Black Moon Family. It is my birthright, by the law your grandfather's father made." He told him boldly, his blue eyes narrowing right back at Onyx. "I am to be crowned King of the Black Moon Kingdom."

Another long cold silence while the father and his son nearly glared at one another. This was a very brave effort Diamond was putting on. No one ever said no to Lord Onyx. Not even Queen Amber, who had a good deal of control over her husband. And right now, she was looking terrified for her son.

"Then you shall be King of the Black Moon Kingdom, Diamond." Someone spoke up. And everything just froze over at the very sound of the voice. "And I shall take the title of King of the Stars."

Everyone in the room froze as if a hundred ton of ice cold water had just been dumped over the entire family and their guests. Though, Lord Onyx was the only one who did not look surprised to hear that voice at all. In fact, his eyes stopped narrowing and they softened as he flicked them over towards the door. "Son, it's about time you returned. I see you have received my summoning. Good."

And slowly, Diamond turned around and looked at the oldest brother of the Black Moon Family.

Prince Obsidian was a very handsome but dark young man, only a few years older than Diamond. His sleek black hair fell long to his lower back, but right now it was pulled loosely back with a black ribbon. He wore the exact same clothing as Diamond did, only it was pure black with black obsidian stones hanging on the front. And much like Lord Onyx, he had pure black eyes, which were on Diamond with dark amusement.

"Hello, little brother. Glad to see me, alive?"
