The Lost Warrior Trilogy Part 3:

"The Lost Warrior – The Next Generation"

By ChibiChibi

A/N:                Here I am, back from Prague, with the Prologue of my new and last part in the "Lost Warrior Trilogy". This story will be about the kids of Jenny, Trunks, Goten and Shana in College. Of course there will be a new threat, which is way more dangerous than all the threats the warriors had before. But I wanted to say thank you for all those of you who read and reviewed my other stories, and I hope that you'll like this one as much as you liked the ones before. This story will contain Action, Adventure, Romance, but also Drama and Angst.

Summary:       12 years have passed, since the Z-Warriors were in the other timeline to defeat Mirai Buu. Shortly after that incident, Bulma got ill, because of the stress she had as President of Capsule Corporation and Trunks, Jenny, Goten and Shana moved with the kids to the Z-Dimension, to take over CC and help Bulma, while Mirai Trunks became the President of CC in our dimension, officially as younger brother of Trunks. But even after Bulma was back to full health, they insisted to stay, so that she didn't need to worry. Faith, Michael, Joey, Chris and Will went to school there and while Chris and Will already graduated and went to the just a few years old college in Husum in the other dimension, Faith and Michael were in the senior class of the Orange Star High School, and Joey was in her last year of Junior High.

And now on with the story.

Prologue or The Decision

************************************************************************************

   "Ms. Briefs, I don't understand you. You're smart, you're writing very good marks, when you want, but why have you done this? What is your problem?" an elderly man asked the young woman in front of him. The man had short white hair, glasses, some wrinkles at his eyes and mouth, and he made a nice impression.

The young woman with the long dark brown, almost black, wavy hair, which went down to her shoulder blades and dark eyes didn't bother to listen to the elderly man. She looked past him, over his oak desk, out of the window of his office in the third floor. You could see some trees, whose leaves were playing in the light wind and you could hear the sound of other people talking and laughing outside.

"You want to know, what my problem is? Well, first of all, my parents are the Presidents of Capsule Corporation. Everyone knows that. They're famous. I'm famous. But there is also something, not many people know. My grandfathers are aliens, called Saiyajins, that makes my parents half-aliens as well as me and my brother. You can see my life is everything, but normal. There are those weird dreams I have now and then and there's still this secret I have for the last 12 years. The secret that I've killed a monster, who defeated my parents and grandparents. I was seven at that time and I've killed it easily, just no one knew about it, and I didn't dare to tell it anyone until now. Can you imagine how scared I was at that time? But I can't even tell anyone about that…"

"Ms. Briefs! I'm talking to you! Don't ignore me like that!" the elderly man said angrily, getting suddenly the attention of the young woman back, who realized at that moment that she had just imagined telling him about her life.

"I don't have any problems," she answered coolly, throwing her hair back with her hand.

"Okay, Ms. Briefs. I'll give you one last chance, because of your achievements in school," he said, but then added in a low tone, so that no human could hear it, "and because of your parents."

The young woman, not being human, heard this of course and stiffened. She didn't like the idea of always being treated differently, just because her parents were the oh-so-highly-owners of the worlds most famous Corporation. Everyone just wanted to be her friend, because of her parents and boys just wanted to have sex with her, because of her parents' money and her body, but she never slept with any of them.

"As I said, I'll give you one last chance. You can repeat the SAT's tomorrow, as well as Mr. Johnson, whose hand you almost broke," the man said, cleaning his glasses.

"Well, at least I didn't damage the hand he's writing with," she said smirking up to the elderly man.

The man looked down to her and sighed. "Well, you can go now. Your parents and brother are already waiting outside for you. And please, send Mr. Johnson in. Maybe he's willing to explain what has happened."

"You've called my parents?" she asked exasperated. "I can't believe it!" She didn't wait for an answer. Instead she just got up and left the office. "Hey Marc. It's your turn now. Good luck," she said as she walked past the handsome young man, with short brown hair, and a football jacket, obviously a lady-killer, whose left hand was bandaged.

"I don't need your luck. You're the one who got into trouble…" he got up and went to the door. "Oh, and Faith. Don't worry, I'll get you. Until now, I got every girl I wanted. And you won't be the exception," he said self-confidently.

"Dream on," Faith answered as he disappeared in the office.

Faith then noticed her parents sitting just a few meters away from her and her brother leaning at a wall. She scowled and walked past them. "What are you waiting for? Come on. I've been here long enough for today." Her father wanted to say something, but she interrupted him. "I know. 'When we're home you go straight to your room, until we call you,'" she said and rolled with her eyes, just before she disappeared. The blond woman and the lavender haired man, who still looked like they were in the beginning of their thirties, even though they already were in their mid-forties, looked at each other and the woman sighed. It has been the third time in two months that the principal of the Orange Star High School called them, because her daughter got into trouble. And every time, she disappeared just like that. She sometimes wished that her second father hadn't taught her that technique. 

The man squeezed her hand. "Come on Jenny. We should go after her."

"Okay," Jenny said and turned to her son, with the short blond and spiky hair and blue eyes, who was still leaning at the wall. "Michael, do you want to come with us?" He nodded, tossed himself from the wall and put his hand on his mother's shoulder. Just a few seconds later, they were gone.

Meanwhile a fourteen years old girl with long dark brown and smooth hair was lying on the couch in the living room of the dome shaped Capsule Corporation main building, watching TV. Suddenly she heard how the front door opened. She looked up and saw how her older sister stormed past the living room, up the stairs, and then she heard the slamming of the door to her sister's room. Shortly after, the teenager heard the front door again and then the voices of her parents passing by. They obviously went to the kitchen, to talk about what they should do with her sister. She wondered, what she did this time.

"Hey Joey," Michael greeted her, as he came into the living room and sat down on the couch next to her.

"Hey Michael. Now tell me. What did she do this time?" Joey asked curiously.

"Well, you know we had the SAT's today… And suddenly she jumped up and tossed this Marc Johnson, you know the one she rejected yesterday, against a wall. But luckily, she didn't kill him. She just hurt his hand lightly. She really held back," he told her.

"Do you know why she did that?" the girl wanted to know.

"She didn't tell me, but I was in front of the principals office, while she had been in there and mom and dad weren't there, yet. Marc was also there and I asked him. He told me that he just wrote her some notes during the tests, telling her that she won't be able to resist him any longer… And well, I guess that pissed her off. But don't worry. She and Marc will repeat the SAT's tomorrow."

"I wonder what mom and dad will do. I guess this time she really got into trouble…"

Bulma was in the kitchen, as Trunks and Jenny came in. Despite her age, the woman still looked young, because after her illness, they summoned Shenlong and wished for all those humans, who are engaged with a Saiyajin, to age at the same rate as their mate. "Hello you two," Bulma greeted them. "You're early today. What happened?"

"Hey mom," Trunks said and sat down and Jenny did the same.

As Bulma saw the worried and angered looks on her son's and daughter-in-law's face, she immediately became suspicious. "Okay you two, what did she do this time?"

Jenny sighed. "She attacked one of her classmates, because he insulted her, or something like that. She didn't tell us. I don't know, what we could do. She has changed so much…"

"Yeah, it seems like the only one she still listening to is dad," Trunks added.

"Does she already know, on which college she wanted to go?" Bulma suddenly asked.

"No," Jenny shook her head. "I don't think so."

"And what about Michael?"

"He doesn't know it either… But he's thinking of going back to Jenny's dimension to go on the same college as Will and Chris," Trunks said.

"Mmh, I think I've got an idea…" Bulma told them. "I think what Faith bothers most is that everyone knows her. I've never seen that she found a true friend here. What do you think of sending her to the other dimension, incognito? The people there haven't seen her for 12 years and you never gave the public your girls' name, because of your parents. You know, Will and Chris did the same. I also think, that it would be good for Michael and Joey to go there, to live as much a normal life, as they could."

"That's a good idea, Bulma. Really. That could work. Or what do you think, Trunks?"

"Yeah, they could lead an almost normal life. I think we should talk to them tomorrow. Thank you mom," Trunks said smiling at his wife.
