The Sundering

The Sundering

Disclaimer: DBZ ain't mine, and I make no money from this. Animorphs belongs to Scholastic. This, since I have no clue about the actual beginnings of the Saiya-jin Species, is my attempt to try and make some method to this madness. Also, if the two species were able to breed, then they would have to have some kind of common background. Plus, if they could have similar attacks, and powers, then it would make even more sense.

I'm rambling.

Yes, this is another crossover, but I think it means that whatever brainpower I had left has finally succumbed to the ravages of caffeine...

"Long and long ago, the Saiya-jins were once human. They lived on Earth, had no tails, and didn't live for the joy of the kill. They did not evolve the way that they thought. At least, not naturally."

"MOM!" shouted thirteen-year-old Bra Briefs, who was searching for her old gi. "Have you seen my old sparing clothes?"

Bulma Briefs, her mother, a.k.a. the richest woman in the world, sighed, and wondered if her daughter would ever stop shouting across the house. She was in her lab, and really didn't want to be disturbed at that moment.

"Honey, have you checked the laundry?" Bulma shouted back, trying to keep her eyes on the delicate piece of machinery that was her current project.

"Yes, I did, and I-" Bulma could hear her scrounging around in the laundry room again, and then letting out a whoop, "I found it!"

"Told you," Bulma said under her breath.

"I heard that," said Bra, looking at her mother from a view of two feet above her. Bra, being part Saiya-jin, could fly.

"So, I take it that you and Pan are going to go for another bout once your Dad gets out of the gravity room?" Bulma asked, as Bra started to change into her workout clothes.

"Yeah, but we'll keep if friendly. Not like Dad and Goku," she said, grinning toothily.

"I hope not," her mother sighed, and looked her daughter over. "I'm about to regret that you asked your father to train you."

"Ahh, Mom, Pan's Dad trains her!"

"And you must keep up with her no matter what?"

Bra vigorously shook her head, and walked over to the door of the gravity room.

"Oh, dear, now there are three of them!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Bra looked at her watch, which she was about to stuff into her purse and leave beside the door. Pan was late.

She huffed in annoyance. This was more than a little friendly sparing, despite what she had told her mother. She had told Pan that she had a crush on Goten, and Pan had told him, in front of Trunks! Now, whenever she tried to talk to him, Trunks would immediately start humming the wedding march. This time, she would get Pan back!

Her father was taking a longer time than usual as well. That was no surprise. Goku had been too busy to spar today, and that always got him down, and made him retreat to the gravity room. Of course, Mighty Prince Vegeta would never admit that he missed sparring. Oh, no. He would just complain that there was no one worthy to spar with him!

She giggled at the thought, in fact, the idea of her high and mighty father, whom she loved dearly, showing any emotion like friendship made her laugh so hard that she didn't notice when the humming from the gravity room stopped. She had doubled over, and tears of mirth rolled down her face when the door opened.

"What's so funny, brat?" Vegeta asked, as he looked at his giggling daughter. He knew that he favored her over her brother, but that was because of how she was conceived. She was also the image of her mother. He knew, deep where he would never have admitted it out loud, that he had made a mistake with Trunks, so he was trying to do a better job with Bra. Not that it was easy.

His tone was considerably nicer than it could have been, so she didn't get mad that he had called her 'brat', in fact, he called her that all the time. (His other name for her was Princess.)

"Nothing!" she gasped, trying to stifle her giggles.

Hmphing and muttering about strange human emotions, Vegeta left her, and Bra walked into the gravity chamber to start doing some warm ups. She could handle the room at fifty gees, easily, and her father said that she had the potential to do more.

Doing warm-ups, then following them up with katas, she started to break a light sweat. Soon she was lost in her fighting dance, spinning and kicking, enjoying the feel of her muscles sliding under her skin. It almost made up for her annoyance with her best friend.

It was so easy, that Bra looked over at the dial on the generator. Suddenly, the gravity tripled, and suddenly felt the intense heat that came from it, and she fell unconscious.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Vegeta had decided that it would be fun to go annoy his mate after his workout. She had been in her lab for as long as he had been training, and if she didn't do something else soon, she would probably get a permanent crick in her neck. Not to mention there would be no one to make dinner.

Moving silently into the lab, he noticed that she was fiddling with some wires. He couldn't tell what it was that she was working on at that point, but she was totally absorbed. He would never tell her, but she looked extremely cute when she did that.

Getting right up behind her, he blew a puff of air right at her neck…

"AHHH!" she screamed, her hand that had a small welder in it jerking wildly into the air, and for once, when she let go of it, Vegeta failed to catch it. It sailed over their heads, and hit something with a loud thud.

"VEGETA!" Bulma yelled, her voice going high, even after all these years. "What the hell do you think that you are doing!"

He was about to answer, when they noticed what it was that the welder had hit. The controls to the gravity chamber, pushing the generators up to the highest gravity that they could sustain. Then, the flame, which had not gone out, started to burn into the generator itself.

"The gravity room!" they said in unison. Then it clicked, as they remembered who was going to be using that room-

"BRA!" they screamed, rushing over, and trying to get into the chamber before-

BOOM!

~*~*~*~*~*~**~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Where am?" Bra muttered, wondering why she had this awful headache. She couldn't remember anything, and that was weird. Maybe her Mom had forgotten to get her up in time for school, and Trunks had come in and was pouring cold water in her bed, or-

"Could I be sick?" she wondered. Her half-alien heritage meant that she didn't get sick very easily, but it had happened a couple of times. Because it was so hard for her to get ill, when she did, it was generally miserable.

She tried opening her eyes, but the bright light shining from somewhere made her head hurt so much that she immediately closed them again. When she closed them, the headache faded, but she became more aware of aching everywhere else. Swearing, and using some of her Father's Saiya-jin curses, she did her best to ignore the pain, and hoped that she figured out what was going on.

For a while, she thought she had gone to sleep. Then, she heard the sound of kids her age. Keeping her eyes closed, and hoping that it was some kind of weird hallucination, she tasted their ki. For the most part, all of them had normal levels, except-

Sitting upright so suddenly, and snapping her eyes open, Bra tried to find the source of the overwhelmingly powerful ki that she had sensed. It was then that she realized she was sprawled out on a roof. It was about time for school to get out, wherever she was, and that was the reason for the brightness. Afternoon sunlight slanted down, and it was angled to where it almost seemed to be aiming for her eyes.

"Crap," she muttered, getting to her feet. Looking over the ledge, she looked at the kids as they either got on the bus or started to walk, or were getting rides from their parents.

The memories of what had happened started to come back, but they were hard to make sense of.

Bra was wondering where the source of ki that she was sensing was coming from. It was the only thing that made any sense to her, and so she was desperate to follow it. Jumping off the roof, she landed, and saw a little black girl and a girl with almost SSJ blond hair.

Bra blinked. Surely they weren't the source of the ki that she had sensed?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They had gotten on a bus together, and Bra had done her best to keep from being noticed, although her confusion about what was going on was making her tail lash around behind her.

Bra stiffened when that thought crossed her mind. Looking over her shoulder, she gaped at what she saw.

When did my tail grow back?

It was utterly bizarre, seeing the tail that you had been told that you had, but had been removed, wriggle and wave behind you.

"Uh, is it just me, or does that girl have a tail?" she heard from it front of her.

Whipping her head around, Bra saw two boys staring at her. She didn't say anything, because at that moment, when she tasted their ki, she realized that they seemed to have the massive amounts that she had sensed in those girls. Even stranger, though, was that they seemed to be completely unaware of the fact.

"Um," Bra said intelligently, knowing that her parents would be really proud of that. "I- um, would you believe I had no idea how it got there?"

Pulling up her shirt, Bra curled her tail around her waist, and tucked her shirt over it. She knew that she had to look strange, a girl with blue hair, in a workout gi, standing near a school.

The boy that hadn't spoken yet just looked at her, his face completely blank. He reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Don't touch me!" Bra snapped, evading him easily. She had her father's temper, even if she was better at hiding it then her brother.

Turning and walking away, she hoped to get out of sight, so she could take to the air.

"Hey, tail-girl! Where are you going?" shouted the loud one, and he tried to grab her. He succeeded in getting a hold of her tail instead.

This stopped her cold.

"Don't. Ever. Touch. My. TAIL!" she yelled.

Not thinking about it, she punched him.

He flew the air, and fell with a very nice thump.

Turning, she ran out of the schoolyard. She had had no idea where she was going, but if it was away, then it worked for her.

Dashing behind a wall, she took off.

Holy- Jake, that girl just flew off! shouted Tobias, who had been coming over to see his friends. In fact, he was so surprised that he hit a tree.

"Tobias!" shouted Jake, and he and Marco ran over to him.

Hello, good citizen, I shall now leave so that I might fight the forces of- rambled Tobias, who seemed to think he was Superman at that moment.

Picking him up, Jake wrapped the confused bird in his coat.

"What's the matter with him?" asked Marco, who hadn't heard Tobias' first yelp of surprise. His voice was slurred because of the split lip that he had. His jaw ached.

"I think he flew into a tree. Let's get him to Cassie's so we can find out what he was yelling about."

~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Ah, man, I don't think that I've ever bled this much before in my life!" whined Marco as they carried the insensible Tobias into the barn. Marco was mourning his shirt, which had gotten a little stained.

"It's just a split lip, Marco," said Rachel, who had gone home with Cassie that day. They had a science project that they had to work on.

"Yeah, well, do you want one? Then you can see what it'll do to your clothes."

They glared at each other.

Whoa, whoa, what happened? asked Tobias finally, when he had stopped muttering about green kryptonite.

"You flew into a tree."

I did? It was right after seeing some blue haired girl take off into the air. I swear, that was the strangest thing that I have ever seen in my life. That's saying something.

"I think he still thinks he's Superman," commented Marco flatly.

"We saw that girl, man. You know that she was weird. She had a blue, furry tail," snapped back Jake.

"A tail?" asked Rachel, skeptically. Then she laughed. "I think Ax would approve."

I didn't see any tail, but I swear, she flew! Like Superman, up, up and away!

"Alright, could this have something to do with the yeerks?" asked Jake, who was trying to get them to do something productive.

"What would a flying girl have to do with the yeerks?" asked a familiar voice from a corner.

It was Erek, and all the Animorphs wanted to give a collective groan. The only time that he ever showed up was when something bad was about to happen.

Erek laughed when he saw their expressions. "No, I'm here to get a homework assignment from Jake. I tried his house, and when he wasn't there, I figured that here would be the next place to check."

"What's this about a girl with a tail?"

Marco, who was nursing his sore face, tried to talk, but his jaw was swelling up into some pretty purple colors.

Cassie went to get him some ice.

"We were coming home from school, when we saw this girl in a karate outfit, with a tail swinging around behind her. We tried to talk to her, but she got annoyed and left; Marco grabbed her tail, and she punched him. Then, Tobias hit a tree, and started thinking that he was Superman."

I did not! I saw her take off, hit a tree, then started thinking that I was Superman!

"I knew it," muttered Erek, looking at them all. "I knew that someday, one of you would loose it."

"Could somebody go get Ax? I think that he should be in on this," said Rachel, who was doing her best not to burst out laughing.

Um, okay, said Tobias, who tried to take off, but nearly hit the rafters.

Shaking her head, Rachel morphed, and flew away.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~

"Okay, this place is definitely not Satan City," Bra muttered to herself. Beneath her where places and buildings that weren't the slightest familiar to her. It was nightfall, and the darkness that spread with the fall of the sun gave her enough cover to keep her from being noticed, she hoped.

Landing on a roof, Bra felt her stomach give a thunderous growl.

"Great, I bet that they don't take the same money that I have here, and I didn't have any in my pockets in the first place!"

Taking off again, and hoping that she might be able to find some food, somehow, she didn't notice the full moon…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

That can't be right, said Ax flatly.

"What do you mean?" asked Marco, who was trying to balance a book on his head. He was bored out of his mind.

I mean, what you just described was a Saiya-jin. They're myths.

"What," said Rachel, sarcasm lacing her voice, "like Ellimists?"

Ax sweat-dropped. (Yeah, if I'm going to write a crossover, some things are going to crossover!)

They were a race of ruthless killers, some of the best the Galaxy had ever known. I didn't place much interest in myths in school, he finished crossly.

"Tell us what you know about them."

They, well, they- Ax abruptly wished that he had a human voice so that he could lower it.

Theylookedalotlikehumans.

"Huh?"

They looked, and acted, a lot like humans. That was why I didn't pay much attention to them in class. They were extremely strong, they could fly, but also universally had black hair and eyes.

"Why did you think that they were myths?"

Because no one who met them survived. There were only vague rumors, and they had always come from non-Andalite species. How could be trust them?

"Right, how can we trust them?" sneered Rachel.

"Guys, you have got to see this!" shouted Cassie as she ran into the barn. They all looked at her urgently, and she ran back to her house.

Looking at each other, they decided to follow, leaving Ax in the barn.

What they saw on the TV was something that they would have never thought possible.

To be continued…

Author's note: I just started watching DBZ, and while I like it a lot, I don't really know enough of the details, so this is the best I could do. My apologies to those purists out there that have to have all the Japanese honorifics. I don't know enough Japanese to get them right, although I am going to try to take that class later. Will my insanity know no end? You'll just have to find out. MWHAHAHAHAHA!
