"Luna..."

Luna opened her eyes, seeing nothing but white as a figure began to materialize in front of her. A beautiful woman with long purple hair smiled down at her with warm silver eyes that she knew all too well...

"M-mom...?" Luna whispered, not believing what she was seeing. She ran forward instantly, throwing her arms around the slender woman as she felt tears escaping her eyes. "I've missed you so much!" She cried, hugging her tightly before the realization hit her.

"Am I... Am I dead?" She questioned sadly, looking up as a delicate hand brushed the tears from her cheek.

"No my child..." Celestia said softly, running a hand through her daughter's hair as she spoke, "There is still much you have left to do before we will meet again..." The older woman paused for a moment, choosing her words wisely as she knew she didn't have much time...

"It is your destiny to face great challenges in the future, Luna... You need to know the true power of our people... A technique that I was unable to teach you before my death that will help you in defeating the evil you will face..."

"A technique?" Luna replied uncertainly, "But I thought-"

"Yes, our people were known to be a peaceful race..." Celestia explained, already predicting what her daughter would say. "But it was not always so... Many lifetimes ago, during a great war, our people practiced a secret technique used only in the most dire of circumstances..."

Luna listened patiently as her mother went on.

"You must promise me that you will use these new powers with caution... Unlike your ability to heal that draws its power from your ki, this attack is formed from your life energy. If used for too long before you've had the chance to enhance your skills, it could kill you."

"I... I understand."

Celestia smiled, pushing her back gently as she placed a hand on her forehead. "Then receive this new power now!" She said happily, truly proud of her daughter.

Luna watched with wide eyes, her mother's silver orbs glowing brightly as her mind was filled with knowledge of this new ability. In a moment, it was over as she stood there in a slight daze from the amount of information she had absorbed so quickly...

"I have given you the all the tools you need to defeat the evil that cursed our world..." Celestia spoke, knowing it was time to go. "Now, return to the present... Avenge our people and life your life to the fullest..."

"Mom, wait!" Luna pleaded, staring at her mother fearfully as she stepped forward, not wanting their short time together to end. "Please don't leave me again-"

A finger on her lips stopped her protests as Celestia merely smiled at her knowingly. "I will always be with you Luna... And one day, we will meet again. Until then, take care my daughter... I love you."

Luna gasped as the white light around them intensified, forcing her to close her eyes and she was ripped from the memory.

"NOOOOOOO!"

"What the-"

Before he knew what was going on, Ginyu was sent flying as Luna raised both hands, blasting the purple man off her before jumping to her feet and catching her breath.

"Still got a little fight in you, huh?" He laughed, landing a few feet away before preparing to charge towards her again. A beep from his scouter stopped him as he felt the ground tremble, watching in surprise as the numbers started to rise at an incredible rate.

"What?! What kind of trick is this?!" He yelled, noticing that the girl wasn't even looking at him as small rocks started float off the ground around her. H-her power level... He thought, pressing the button on the side of his scouter a few times, just to be sure as he continued to stare. There's no way!

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Luna screamed, the ground beneath her feet cracking and falling away as a change started to take place. Her lavender hair floated around her angrily in the wind as her eyes started to glow silver.

Ginyu took a step back in shock, alerting her with his movements as he actually began to panic. In less than a second, she was in front of him, delivering a hard kick to his chest that sent him rocketing back.

H-how?! How did she get so fast-

He didn't have time to think as she appeared behind him, kneeing his incoming form in the back while watching in satisfaction as he coughed up blood. Luna quickly raised both hands above her head, closing them together into a fist as she spiked his large body into the ground, making a large crater in the dirt below.

She smiled, enjoying the look of horror on his face as he watched her gather a large ball of dark purple energy in both hands before launching it towards him.

...

Meanwhile, not too far away...

...

"What was that?" Nail said to himself, looking around and trying to sense where this new energy was coming from. "Something's wrong... I can feel it..." He frowned, thinking back on what Guru had said before the strange fighters had left...

"So then... Have they gone?" The large Namekian asked, praying for their safety against such evil.

"Yes... But even if they do get the dragonballs in time, I don't much like their chances..." Nail answered, looking down as he frowned.

"Can't you help them?" Dende questioned, looking at Nail innocently as Guru spoke up.

"Dende's right... I think you should join them in this battle... It might help their chance at victory."

"But what about-"

"Don't worry my son..." Guru smiled, "I don't plan on leaving this world just yet..."

Nail looked up at him with admiration before he sighed. "I... I will do as you wish."

The Namekian's gaze snapped up suddenly as he turned his attention East, a huge wave of power sweeping over the landscape like a violent storm. What... That power... It's... His eyes widened as he recognized who the energy belonged to.

"The Acaiian woman..." He mumbled, wondering if that could really be possible. But her power level... What Guru said about her race must be true... He realized, taking off in that direction as he attempted to catch up before it was too late.

...

Back with Krillin, Gohan and Vegeta...

...

"I... I have to keep trying..." Gohan mumbled, struggling to stand as he stepped towards Recoome. "For Piccolo... For Yamcha... Tien... Chiaotzu... They're all counting on me... AND I AM NOT GOING TO LET THEM DOWN!" He finished in a roar, rocketing towards the larger fighter.

Recoome dodged the boy's punch at the last second, disappearing as Gohan shattered the rock he was just sitting on. "Haha! You missed me!" He teased, floating above the young Saiyan.

"Now it's my turn! Recoooooooome BOOMBAAAA!"

Gohan jumped back, barely dodging the energy blasts that were headed his way as more and more appeared. Recoome laughed wildly, firing his attack continuously as the landscape around them both was blown apart. Gohan jumped from rock to rock, dodging until the blasts were right behind him and he was forced to fly up where the giant man was waiting.

"Yoohoo!" Recoome shouted, knocking the dark haired boy back to the ground with a massive elbow as he smirked, staring down at the crater he had just made. Gohan hissed in pain, willing himself to get back up. He stopped for a moment, coughing up blood before finally standing on shaky legs, only to collapse again.

"Hmm... Still alive, huh?" Recoome chuckled, watching the scene from above.

"T-that's enough Gohan... S-stop..." Krillin stuttered, unable to take any more of this as he watched his friend getting up again.

"N-no... It- It's not over yet... I... Won't... Quit..." He gasped through clenched teeth. "D-dad wouldn't give up... N-neither will I..."

Recoome landed, watching in amusement as the boy started to stumble forward. "Wow! Who's a big man, huh? Really kid, I've fought some stubborn characters in my day... But you, you take the cake! Heh heh... Now! Let Recoome show you your doom!"

"NEVERRR!" Gohan shouted, blasting forward with the last of his energy as he attempted to punch the big ogre in his face. "I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU WIN!"

Recoome jumped up, dodging easily as he swung his leg down, hitting the small boy right in the neck as his eyes went wide for a moment before he was sent flying. Krillin and Vegeta watched, horrified at the loud crack that was heard the moment his leg connected as Gohan's body skidded to a stop.

"Gohan... No..."

"That little runt was our last hope..." Vegeta growled, falling to his knees as he looked away, "Damn... I should have known better than to rely on a child..."

"Oi! Recoome!" Jeice yelled, getting the fighter's attention. "Finish up your handiwork so we can report back to Frieza!"

"Yeah," Burter chimed in, annoyed as well. "We don't want to spend all day watching you have fun! Let's get this over with!"

Recoome walked up to Gohan's unmoving body, grinning evilly. "Hold your horses! This'll just take a second-"

The sound of an approaching ship cut him off as he looked up, along with Jeice and Burter.

"Wonder who that is..." Jeice said, watching as the ship landed not too far away.

"We're not expecting anybody... Maybe some Namek's coming home from vacation..." Burter hissed, laughing at his own joke.

"Poor dopes... They 'ave no idea what they're gettin' themselves into!"

The smoke around the ship began to clear as the sound of a door opening got everyone's attention as a familiar figure stepped out...

...

Back at Frieza's ship...

...

Luna blasted forward, a look of hatred in her eyes as she narrowly missed Ginyu's face with her fist.

"Heh, guess you will be some fun after all!" The purple alien laughed, powering up his own attack. "GALAXY DYNAMITE!" Ginyu shouted, firing energy blasts at a rapid speed as Luna struggled to dodge.

One of the balls slammed into her shoulder, scorching part of her dress as it knocked her off course. The captain didn't give her time to recover as he shot forward, elbowing her in the gut as she sailed towards the ground. Luna hit the grass hard, forming a small crater with her body as she winced. Even with her new power, this was proving to be rather difficult...

And I can't stay like this for long... She thought, getting up as she tried to formulate a plan.

"What's the matter girly?" Ginyu taunted, hovering a few feet above her. "All out of tricks?"

"No..." Luna panted, summoning a huge amount of energy as she glared up at the man. "I've got one more..." She gathered a ball of energy in her palm, firing it at her enemy as he dodged.

"Ha! Is that all?"

Luna growled, doing the same thing again. And again. She kept firing, watching as Ginyu dodged each blast skillfully.

"I think your aim is a bit off!" He laughed, floating around her attacks easily. "It's time to end this-"

"COSMIC STORM!" Luna shouted, bringing her hands down as Ginyu looked at her in confusion.

"Wha- SHIT!" He cursed, turning around to see every ball of energy she had fired at him was coming his way. Not only that, but they seemed to be getting bigger the closer they got as well.

The leader of the Ginyu Force was fast, but he couldn't dodge one of the blasts as it slammed into his side, burning away a good portion of his armor while sending him into the side of a mountain.

Amazing... Nail thought to himself, arriving just in time to see her epic attack as he flew closer to where the purple haired woman was standing. He noticed the change in her features as he frowned, feeling her energy gradually fading...

"Luna." He stated, landing beside her as she glanced up with her silver eyes.

"Nail..." She said, somewhat out of breath as she looked back to where Ginyu was slowly, but surely pulling himself out of a pile of rubble. "Frieza knows about the dragonballs... H-he's on his way to where Dende and Guru are to torture them into telling him how they work! You have to stop him!"

The Namekian growled, knowing it was foolish to leave them both unguarded.

"Go, I've got this..." Luna said, watching as Ginyu stepped closer.

"Two against one?" He asked, smirking sadistically as he wiped a bit of blood from his face. "Now that's not very fair..."

"You need to be careful in this form," Nail warned, looking at Luna seriously. "If you use it too much, you-"

"I know." She said, cutting him off as she glanced back at Ginyu who seemed to be waiting for them to make the first move. "Just go and help them... They don't stand a chance without you..."

The Namekian sighed, pulling off his blue vest before throwing it to the side. "Then we will have to finish this quickly."
