The Sword

By: Wild Melody


*****At Gokou's house*****

Keeping a constant vigil at her husband's side, ChiChi let everyone know that something was wrong with Gokou and asked everyone to be there as soon as possible. Little did she know that the illness her husband had caught would spell the end for him.

Outside we see Vegita sitting on a rock near the pond, and almost everyone else gathered loosely around the door awaiting any news (Gohan's on his way back from an errand for his mom).

{AN: I am making Trunks 14, and Gohan 18 in this fic!}

Then as ChiChi leans over to change to cold compress on Gokou's head a strange thing starts to happen. She notices a bright glow starting outside Gokou's body right about where the heart rests. Startled she lets out an anxious scream, but it is too late the mysterious glow has surrounded her husband's body then continues to engulf her in it as well.

Outside, hearing the scream, everyone turns to see bright lights coming out of the windows. Then suddenly as it appeared the light flashed blindingly once then dissipated. Everyone rushed inside to see what had happened (including Gohan who had just landed after the light had disappeared).

Upon entering the room, they notice that instead of the two expected occupants, are two teenage girls. The one on the bed is somewhat small, and sickly looking. This girl has shoulder length black hair, and is wearing a black dress that hits mid-thigh, and black hose with black dress shoes. The other girl looks to be about a foot or so taller than the one laying on the bed and is sprawled over the smaller one as if to protect the smaller girl from any possible enemy. She has long brown hair that is pulled into a high ponytail then put through a green baseball cap. This one is wearing a green T-shirt, blue jeans and low cut fighting boots. For about a minute complete silence is heard, then in a no nonsense voice Bulma takes charge.

"Gohan! Go and get another bed and bring it in here. Vegita, go and get my medical kit from the car. Yamcha, pick up the tall one." Shocked the three men follow Bulma's orders and when the other bed is brought in she tells Yamcha to put the 'tall one' on the bed. With that done she promptly procedes to give each girl a through physical.

When done, Bulma turns to face the group. "Well they seem to be in perfect health, except for one thing: exhaustion. We'll know more when they wake up."
