A chill was in the air. It was a cold, dark feeling that creeped along my spine as a winced from the pain of my injuries. A wet substance stained the ground. I touched it tenderly and turned my hand. It was dark, red blood, and it surrounded me. My name is Zonera, and this is where my story ends.
My friends… they lay around me.
Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Piccolo, Tien, and Goten. We are all sprawled on the ground, to weak to get up. Every warrior in the area, including myself, is unable to move from our positions, except for him. The person that placed us on the ground in the first place, he was still standing. That villain hardly had a scratch on him, and I realized to my horror that he wasn't just standing, he was moving. He was moving toward Goten, and I knew what he had planned for him.
"No!" I cried out of desperation. "Don't do it! Please!" I begged, tears forming in my eyes.
The villain stopped mid-step and turned to me. He examined my helpless form and grinned, laughing at me, at all of us.
His goal, at the moment, did not involve me, however, as he turned toward his true target, Goten. He continued his stride toward the teen, a menacing gaze in his eye.
Knowing what was coming next, I screamed with the last of my energy "STOP!"
My name is Zonera. This is where my story begins. I am a young, female Saiyan, born on planet Vegeta in age 732. When I was five, I was told by mother to get in a spacepod.
Someone was destroying the planet. I obeyed my mother and she set the coordinates for the spacepod to a random planet.
As I saw the planet explode, I cried for my parents, my friends, they were gone.
A month later, I crash-landed on a random planet and some of the inhabitants took me in and raised me. I trained and developed my strength and fighting technique.
48 years later, I was ready to leave the planet and go out on my own. The inhabitants fixed my spacepod, and I gratefully thanked them.
After a tearful goodbye, I waved and left. This is when I discovered a blue planet called Earth.
I landed roughly on the planet, hiding my power level in case the inhabitants weren't friendly. I stepped out of the pod and looked around, luckily the area was deserted.
I left my pod where it landed, confident that no one would find it, and began walking.
Slowly, signs of life became present and I made my way into a well populated area.
The people here looked alot like me, and they were certainly friendly, except none of them had tails and they were staring at me.
I wrapped my tail around my waist but people continued to stare anyway. I guess it was my clothes, they seemed different from everyone else's.
Trying my best to ignore the strange looks, I made my way into an area populated mostly by children. I thought this would be a good place to try and blend in.
I stood by a tree and examined the area in more detail. Children played upon metal bars and plastic slides. I smiled at their happy faces as I walked forward to get a closer look. Unfortunatly, I didn't notice a hand that laid on the grass and I stepped on it, causing me to jump back.
"Ow.." Someone groaned. "Hey! You stepped on my hand!" cried a voice. I looked down and saw a young teenager sitting on the ground, a grumpy look on his face. "Oh- I-...sorry" I mumbled. After I apologised, the boy's face instantly beamed. "That's okay, my hand's not bleeding or anything like that."
The boy was clad in a shirt and jeans he wore blue tennis shoes, a seemingly strange outfit for this planet.
Seeing as this was my first encounter in this world, I decided to roll with it. "May I ask what your name is?" I said nervously. "Goten." the boy responded, looking up from the ground. He grinned at me. " What's yours?"
"Zonera." I responded, feeling more comfortable. "Hi Zonera!" he I could respond, a male comes in our direction. "Hey Goten, who's this?" The male asks, eyeing me curiously.
Goten stood up as he responed, "Hey bro! Her name's Zonera! "She stepped on my hand" Goten laughed as I blushed at the memory and stood.
"Yeah I saw that." the man laughed a little but became formal again quickly. "Zonera huh? Well hi Zonera I'm Gohan!" the man said with a grin, holding out his hand.
I reached out a shook it. "Hi." I smiled, letting myself relax some more. This caused my tail to unwrap itself and sway back and forth. Gohan froze mid-handshake at the sight of my tail. "Y-you have a tail?!"
I gasped and looked down at my tail. "I- well I-" I stuttered. "You're a Saiyan?!" Gohan cried, making a few heads turn in our direction. "Yes." I said, suprised that he knew what a Saiyan was. "Wow, well I-" Gohan started, but was cut off by a voice behind us. "I knew it!" the booming voice snapped. I yelped and turned around to face a powerful looking man with a short stature.
"Who the hell are you?" the man growled, scowling at me.
"Vegeta?" Gohan stepped forward. "What are you doing here?" I looked between the two with confusion. "Vegeta?" I whispered. Vegeta huffed. "I don't see how that's any of your business." He scowled at Gohan. "You could just say you're taking Trunks to the park." Gohan laughed, looking over at a small lavender-haired child. "Shutup" Vegeta snapped before turning back to me.
I jumped at the sudden attention. "Well?" Vegeta growled, getting impatient "I asked you a question. Who are you?"
"I'm Zonera, um may I ask what planet this is?" I mumbled, a bit intimidated by Vegeta.
"Earth, you ingrate. How the hell did you survive? Freiza destroyed Vegeta and everyone on it!" Vegeta snapped at me, eyeing me angrily."My mother...put me in a spacepod before it blew up my parents died in the explosion then I crash landed on a random planet and lived there since I was 5" Gohan looked at me with pity in his eyes. "Oh...wow."
"Yeah" I said shyly.
"I'm sorry." He lowered his head.
"No it's okay." I smiled weakly, reassuring him.
Vegeta huffed, unimpressed by my story. "Keep an eye on this one, boy." He said to Gohan, turning to walk back to his son with one last glare at me.
"I'm not your servant you know.." Gohan muttered quietly enough so that Vegeta didn't hear. We stood in silence for a moment before Gohan said "Well, we gotta go, me and Goten are going to train. Stay safe okay, and don't mind Vegeta, he can be a bit rough." He said as he turned to leave with Goten.
"W-wait!" I cried, causing Gohan to stop and turn back. "Yeah? What is it?"
"Well I was wondering… can I train with Goten?" I asked, looking around nervously. Gohan blinked and looked me up and down.
"Uh, I don't know… Goten and I barely know you." He looked at his little brother.
"Goten, you wanna train with her?" Goten looked at me, then back at Gohan. "Well, I like her, so it couldn't hurt I guess."
"Well, alright then" Gohan said, turning and smiling at me. "You got a deal!" I grinned broadly. "Thank you!" I looked down at Goten "Let's get going."
"Yeah!" Goten said enthusiastically.
Goten and I flew off deep into one of the planet's forests and began training. It was pretty hard training. Goten sure was a tough teen. We sparred until we both collapsed from exhaustion. We laid side by side and looked up at the sky.
Eventually we began to talk.
"So goten,what were you and your brother training for?" I asked curiously
"Me and gohan are going to fight at the world martial arts tournament tomorrow" Goten responded with excitement.
"What's that?''
''It's a tournament where you fight a bunch of opponents''
"Oh...wow'' I said with awe
''Yeah and me and gohan are gonna fight each other at the tournament'' He giggled happily
''Cool, can i watch you and gohan fight at the tournament?''
''Sure''
''Thanks Goten'' I smiled entusiastically. We sat in silence for a moment before Goten turned to me.
''Hey Zonera can i ask you something?''
''What is it Goten?''
''Why did you wanna train with me? I barely know you.''
I paused for a moment before I responded. ''I don't know maybe it's because you're a cute kid and I want to hang out with you or maybe...I want to have a friend''
''You...want me to be your friend?" Goten asked, sitting up.
''Do you?'' I asked, looking at him
''Didn't you make friends on that planet that you were on?''
''Shockingly no'' I said, turning away a bit.
''Why not?'' Goten asked, tilting his head
"Because no one wanted to be friends with me''
''Why?''
''Because i was picked on for being a goody two shoes'' I said bitterly.
''goody two shoes?'' Goten seemed to have never heard the phrase before.
''Yeah for being too nice…. none of the kids there were nice''
''Oh...''
''yeah'' I mumbled, sitting up
''I'm sorry zonera''
''So...will you be my friend please?''
Goten thought for a moment ''okay!'' he suddenly said.
I gasped suddenly, overcome with emotion. I jumped up. "Thank you Goten!"
We both laughed with joy and I hugged him tightly.
