1 Prologue
"It was lying in a spaceship out in the woods." Vivar said, holding up the small creature.
"But where did it come from?" Tria asked, taking the creature from Vivar and holding it up, close to the light.
"I think some place from the fifth quadrant. That's where it looked like it came from."
Tria set the creature down on the floor. He looked at the fleshy creature sitting there. It looked at him and Tria's eyes opened wide when he saw the symbol on the medallion it wore.
"It's a saiyan." he said.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Please!" Gina pleaded.
"Absolutely not." Vivar said, pointing his finger in her face. The small saiyan responded by plopping down on the stone floor.
"I'm going to the fields." Vivar stated. "We'll bring you meal later." Vivar then left the small stone dwelling in darkness.
Gina sat there for a few moments, looking at the four walls. It was almost completely dark, except for a small bit of light coming from the corner. She couldn't translucate herself like the Tumulians could, so she had never seen real light. The walls around her were rock solid, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't walk through them like she had seen the beings of light do. She wanted so much to see what was on the other side of the four walls she stared at every day. Vivar and Tria had never taken her out, they had only told her about the fields bursting with food and all of the other Tumulians that had been forced to work there.
Bored, she focused her eyes on the small stream of light that was coming from a crack in the corner and reflected it off of the medallion that she wore. There was more light that way. It shone in five different directions. Gina wasn't sure whether this was daylight or nightlight, as she had heard about, but the blue light suddenly became mesmerizing. Her eyes glowed red and her small teeth became fangs. Gina looked down at her arm as thick black hair began to grow. Suddenly, she was twice her size- three times her size- ten times her size. The stone house became small and the roof exploded. Gina was blinded by the light of a glowing orb in the sky. In a rage, the giant beast that was once the small girl began to demolish the fields of plentiful glowing fruit.
The frightened Tumulians ran as the giant beast stormed about the land causing indescribable horror. It continued throughout the night.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Yes, we'll be arriving shortly." Henokai said, looking at the videophone. It had been an incredibly long journey, and he was returning without the Tumulian fruit, thanks to the saiyan who was back there in the deprogrammer.
Only a few more hours... he thought as he prepared the ship to enter the atmosphere of Jungar 7. ... And she'll be rid of that dreadful mission statement. Henokai braced himself as the ship landed forcefully on the green meadow.
Henokai pushed the "open hatch " button and exited the ship, only to be bombarded by a small boy with dark green hair.
"Henokai! Welcome back! Did you bring the fruit?"
"No, I brought something else. Why don't you go take a look?"
The boy entered the ship and saw Gina in the deprogrammer. His eyes went wide with amazement.
"Where did you find her? Can we keep her?"
"She was a little Tumulian present. I don't think the Tumulians will be wanting her back, so I guess she's here to stay."
The boy's face lit up at this revelation.
"Come, Niro." Henokai replied as he exited the ship once again. "Where is Xavier?"
"He was inside training last time I saw him." Niro replied, struggling to keep up with Henokai's long strides.
They walked about half a mile to a Japanese style cottage on a hill. The roof glimmered under the light of a bright red sun. Henokai grabbed the door handle and opened the door.
"I see Xavier has held his tradition for being a complete slob..." he replied, looking at the dishes and clothes strewn about on the floor.
They looked about the mansion for Xavier and found him in his room in a meditative trance.
"Xavier, I'm home." Henokai said, entering the room.
"Did you bring the fruit?"
"Xavier, do you honestly think that you can qualify in the Jungar 7 tournament? You haven't been training long enough and you're only going to disappoint yourself."
"I'm going to qualify. And win." Xavier stood up and opened a window.
"Why didn't you bring the fruit?"
"There wasn't any fruit left when I got there. Hey, you cut your hair..."
Xavier ran his fingers through his short brown hair.
"Yeah, it was getting in the way of my training. What do you mean there wasn't any fruit? I thought this was their prime growing season."
"Master Henokai bought a girl! And she has a tail like he does!" Niro intervened.
"She's a saiyan? What was she doing on planet Tumul?"
"Apparently two Tumulians had been hiding her for about seven years. She's in the deprogrammer now so she can lose her saiyan programming. Enough about that. Come out and help me unload the shipment."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The sun rose slowly over the green hilltops the next morning. Niro awoke and rushed to Xavier's bedside.
"Xavier! He's letting her out of the programmer today!"
"Niro...go back to sleep."
"But it's morning!"
Xavier sat up and punched Niro in the face.
"Never...wake...me...up." Xavier replied, and went back to sleep.
Niro sat on the ground, rubbing his nose with his arm. It was throbbing with pain. He felt the blood run down his arm and wiped it on the bottom of his shirt. After a while, he finally gave up and sat in the corner of the room, letting the blood drip from his nose onto the wood floor.
It was two hours later when Xavier awoke, and he looked at Niro for a minute and then reached for his shirt that was on the chair beside the bed.
"Don't be a baby." Xavier replied, tying his red headband around his head. "A little blood never hurt anybody." He then left the room.
Niro wiped his nose and hurried behind Xavier, who was already in Henokai's machine room.
"I'm leaving." Xavier stated. "I'll be back by breakfast."
"Don't you want to stay to see her come out of the deprogrammer? I'm really going to need your help because I'm assuming she only speaks Tumul." Henokai said, as he pushed some buttons on the control panel.
"I couldn't care less." Xavier mumbled and then left.
What am I going to do with him? Henokai thought to himself as he hurriedly mashed the controls.
"Brace yourself, Niro." Henokai said, "I'm turning off the machine."
Henokai pushed a few buttons and the top of the machine slowly opened.
There she was. About three and a half feet tall, wrapped in a long beige- colored clothe. Her black hair was in two buns on each side of her head, and the ribbons that held them hung limply on her shoulders.
Niro was astounded. He looked the small saiyan from head to toe. He then proceeded to do it again.
"Is she dead?" Niro asked, moving closer to the machine.
Suddenly her eyes opened and closed rapidly. She tried to move her left arm that was securely fastened into the machine. When Gina found that she could not move it, she went in to hysterics. She thrashed her arms and legs wildly, trying to free them from the machine. She began screaming and the room suddenly became illuminated with a bright glow. Henokai and Niro shielded their eyes quickly as the machine exploded.
*~*~*~*~*~*
When the smoke cleared, Henokai searched for the small saiyan girl. She was coiled up in a corner, shaking with fear. She looked at Niro and Henokai and began to speak in a strange language.
"Toma sumi fratte garta, quarm y anrem hur ewa…"
"What is she saying?" Niro asked.
"It sounds like she's speaking Tumul," Henokai replied, "I have no idea how to translate it. The Tumulian ambassador speaks our language, so this is the first time I've really heard it."
Henokai slowly approached the girl who dug herself deeper and deeper into the corner. He held out his hand and the girl stared at him, confused. She finally understood and put her hand in his. On shaky legs, she stood up behind Henokai. That was when the cloth fell off. Niro stood there staring.
"Don't just stand there! Go get the girl some clothes!"
Niro hurriedly ran out of the room and returned with one of Xavier's old shirts. It was long and bulky and hung on the floor when they put it on her. She began to laugh at the long sleeves that hung low to the ground.
"Why is she so short, Henokai? If she's seven, she shouldn't be much shorter than I am."
"It a combination of the darkness she was in and the gravity of the planet Tumul. They both affected her growth. But once she gets enough sunlight, she should shoot up like a weed."
Henokai patted the small girl on the head and she smiled. Suddenly, something began to reflect the sunlight that was coming into the room. Henokai looked down and saw medallion handing on the girl's neck. He carefully took it in his hand and looked at it.
"What does it say?" Niro asked.
"Her name is Gina." Henokai said, looking at the foreign language on the medallion. His face suddenly bedazzled and he quickly ripped the medallion off of Gina's neck.
"What is it, Henokai?"
"This girl must never train." Henokai said.
Author's Notes:
Yes, this story does take place in another galaxy… And if you are thinking to yourself "hey, all of the saiyans died!", Think about this- They were sending babies to other planets every day. What are the odds that all of them were back on planet Vegeta just in time for Freiza's surprise attack? Hmm…
Also, this story was originally split up into 22 chapters of about four pages each. If you look closely, you can tell where one chapter ended and the next began.
Name notes:
Vivar, Tria and Henokai: names I came up with
Niro: No, the name had nothing to do with the emperor Nero…
Xavier- just thought it was a cool name that completely reflected his character…
Gina: kind of a play on Vegeta…I thought about making her full name Vegina, so people could make the connection, but you can see where that might lead…sickos…
