Hope for the Future: A Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z Story

Chapter One: Death

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or Dragon Ball Z. I'm only writing this story for pure entertainment and not making any money out of this work at all. The History of Trunks is something that I'll watch over and over again because it's my favorite movie of Dragon Ball Z, next to Bojack Unbound amongst others. With Sailor Moon, I can watch Crystal again and again, but the style of seasons 1 and 2 irked me a lot.

Despite this, I'm currently working on another story, but I've decided to put that one on hold for a moment and get this one out of my system before I go crazy lol.

Anyway, due to the History of Trunks and the confusing timeline of it, and the crossover of Sailor Moon, I'm making a few changes to it so anyone won't get confused by the age differences of each character that'll be present in this story. Also because of its dark and depressing theme, I advise having a box of tissues ready cause the first chapter is going to be heartbreaking.

Author's Note: I'm going to use the original Japanese names of the Sailor Scouts that'll be mentioned later on in the story, cause I'm more used to those names than that of the English version... no offense to those who like the English dub of Sailor Moon. Another thing is, I'm going to bump up the ages of Past Trunks from when he was a baby to a seventeen-year-old and it's mostly taking place during the Trunks Saga and the start of Android Saga.

Acknowledgments: I'm dedicating this story not only to myself but to the rest of my new friends who helped me along the way: Sailor Silver Ladybug, Astrearose-SilverMoon, Abielle-A-Miel, and Sammeezilla in their part in helping me with this story and I'm so grateful for every one of you!

Credit: I'd like to thank Abielle-A-Miel for the drawing of Hanako Aino that she had done for me a while ago. Thanks again!!

Hope for the Future: A Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z Story

Chapter One: Death

(~)

Chi Chi stood in front of the doorway to her tiny home, holding the basket of laundry in her grasp, a small smile forming across her face as she looked at the redheaded young woman holding her child's hand tightly so she won't run off and get lost in the nearby woods. While she didn't want them to go, she knew that they had to because if they'd stayed long enough, Trunks would come out here once again and retrieve them himself and make sure that this will never happen again between his wife and daughter.

"Are you sure you don't want Korado to get you home safely? What if the Androids get you both?" She asked, setting down the basket full of clothes while looking at the mother and daughter duo, her voice etched with worry. She didn't want to lose them like she lost Goku and Gohan; they are her very best friends and Hanako was like a daughter to her.

Standing next to her was a handsome young man who is a few inches taller than her and he had a fair skin complexion with long, messy, black hair with bangs covering his forehead and strands of it reaching past his shoulders and possess an athletic build. His eyes were pitch-black, similar to that of the nighttime sky.

Unlike most Saiyans, he doesn't have a tail, having made the choice to cut it off years ago when he was thirteen years old, and it hasn't grown back ever since.

He wore a white hanfu-style shirt with gold buttons and long sleeves with black outlining at the very end of them. The collar covered most of his neck, but that didn't bother him. He wore thick dark blue pants with a brown belt attached to them and brown boots with gold outlines. Chi Chi had always said that she preferred him to wear something more presentable than rags, much to the latter's disgust, but he went along with it to make her happy and not deal with her nagging aiming at him anymore. In all honesty, it makes him like an actual human being, no doubt the strongest one that there is.
