733-785 A.D.





" Hidden from the knowledge of her own race, the Saiyins and the Syplhs, and robbed of all freedoms and truths by her captor and lord, Frieza. A hidden beauty and a demonic devil with a face of innocence and luminescent eternal-like youth, she was hated and loved, feared and sought after, challenged and at times defeated. Her mark on history as being the most powerful and ancient of warriors, deadly and innocent, manipulative and intuitive, is unknown and erased from time by the Supreme Kai. Here is her tale of woe and bloodlust, virtue and temptation, death and resurrection."









Part One CHAPTER ONE THE BIRTH

June 29, 733 A.D. Planet Juno-kai



Darkness infiltrated the atmosphere of the frosted planet and caressed the high peaked mountains that stood like ancient monuments of the planet's history. The shadows of the early full moon cast playful shadows along the white meadows and open fields, creating a ghostlike reflection along the glazed surfaces. Despite the oncoming nightfall and the eerie tranquility it brought with it, all was not well. Screams of extreme pain mixed with moans of agony cut the sky like an arrow of horror. The screams were female and they were not entirely human. Outside the entrance to the small temple were two burly men decked in full armored uniforms of the highest rank a Saiyin could achieve. Though one was younger and smaller in height, with a thicker shorter head of hair, they both possessed grim dark features that were battle worn.

"What do you believe will become of Cerridwen?" asked the smaller man, his tail lashing about in anxiety.

" The Sylph noble? Well, all I can reason out is that you made a swell choice in choosing your mate, Asris." The older man frowned deeply in anger.

" Damn your reason Bardock! I did not expect this to happen nor did I want it to happen! It is out of my hands!" retorted Asris angrily.

" The King will not be too pleased with his best general of the elite Saiyins, the one who discovered Planet Plant and is notorious for its downfall as well as of other empires, for raping a Sylph woman! And not just any Sylph but the blood relative and cousin to the Supreme Kai!" whispered Bardock angrily, gripping Asris's arm in fury.

Just as the two men entered into a heated argument, a tall pale woman swindled in blue burst through the temple entrance and stood between the men. Her oblong face was drawn tightly in anger and frustration. " Lady Cerridwen has given birth! Do you primates hear me?!"

Immediately the men heard a squeal from inside and a sigh was released from both men in relief. However, the younger man paled and placed a hand on his heart in a sudden gesture of pain and nearly doubled over had not the elder caught him. " The woman.she is dead.." whispered Asris in a choked cough.

The maid knitted her brows in confusion and nodded." She did die from complications of the birth. It was.it was the strangest thing I have ever seen in my lifetime. It seemed an orb of light surrounded milady and I was blinded from its intensity until it dampened and surrounded the young girl child."

The men paused and stood upright. Bardock cleared his throat and replied. "A female Saiyin?"

The maiden smiled. "Yes and a beautiful one at that.but" her voice trailed as she resumed again. "But, she isn't entirely like you tailed men. She is much fairer and smaller with large emerald eyes. Of course her little tail is like a rope of rusted gold. Very lovely and flattering."

The men stiffened and flicked their tails nervously as a small cruiser bearing the Saiyin royal emblem landed near the temple. The men braced themselves for the presence of the Royal messenger as the maid brought out a small bundle wrapped in fleece. Asris gently took the bundle in his arms and held it to his chest, softly admiring the little child's beauty much like its mother's. He looked up quickly with tears in his eyes to catch the maid's emotionless eyes. Bury my mate in a secret landmark where none can tread upon her grave. Please. I beg you, his thoughts reached to her as he left her to follow Bardock to the ship. Before he reached it, the woman called after him and raced to grasp his arm.

" Warrior! Wait, Saiyin! Have this!"

A large overweight pink alien with purple lips and a bulbous gut blocked the woman and sneered at her for touching the general so commonly. The general nodded. "Release her, Dodoria." The woman took the man's gloved hand and placed a small item in it before disappearing quite mysteriously. The man gazed at it blankly, not noticing the woman's absence, and crushed it in his palm. He gave the frozen paradise one last glance before loading onto the ship and away from the planet of lost souls and free spirits that he once came to often before this. The ship blasted off into hyperspace quickly, leaving behind dust particles. (((((((((((

On board the ship, Asris held his child in his lap and calmly studied its beautiful features. The child possessed fine dark blonde hair that looked golden under bright light with large emerald green eyes, as the lady had said. THREE YEARS LATER ( PLANET VEGETA

One Month Before The End of Planet Vegeta 737 A.D.

The King's Throne Chambers

"NO!! No, you did it wrong you moron! Let me show you," snapped a low voice much like that of a serpent's whisper as a small young boy with dark hair that grew upright in long points and dark marble eyes shoved aside a large overweight boy and flexed his muscles. King Vegeta sat slumped in his chair with his hand under his chin, watching his young son show the weaklings how to fight properly. A devilish smirk was carved on his face as he watched his young son show his cousin how to throw an attacker. The strong King regarded the taller, stockier built boy with blonde short spiky hair. His arms were crossed smugly and his light blue eyes were narrowed in anger. Only the boy's eyes expressed his anger with the king's brilliant son. The King disliked the young boy with blonde hair because of his strange physical features and of his smug attitude towards anyone in his service. If it weren't for the boy being related to the late Queen and for Vegeta's son's companionship with him, he would have destroyed the boy and his disgrace of a father long ago. The King sighed. He had other things to think about and consider. His purging team from Kanass had sent in a transmission that Kanass had been taken and destroyed. Slaves and prisoners were being sold once returned with the accomplished purging team to Vegeta. This was a success despite Lord Frieza's disappointments and frustrations towards the Saiyins. King Vegeta smelt wariness and danger in the air but dismissed it swiftly as his best warriors entered in.

"Aaah..Bardock and Asris.Come here." beckoned King Vegeta smugly. The men knelt quickly and rose to their feet. The men looked worn and tired from the purge of Kanass but none expressed it to their king. " Is everything on schedule?" asked Vegeta. " Yes sire. We leave for the purge of Meat tomorrow, milord." " Good, Good. Lord Frieza will be pleased with this. He has been demanding our progress and our minds for sometime now. He will arrive soon." Bardock calmly sighed." Sire, that lord has been very demanding of my men and almost paranoid over the fact of our victories becoming more than less." King Vegeta smirked and waved his hand dismissively. " Prepare for Meat tomorrow, generals. I expect the best of you tomorrow. Make those insects beg for mercy and stomp them in the ground. You are dismissed." Asris stood fast and prepared to speak. " Sire, I have a girl child that needs to be taken care of while I am away. I am taking my servants with me and she has none to care for her but her guardian, Araro." King Vegeta remembered the dragon-like serpent that guarded the general's child while the king visited at one time. It was an excellent protector, always aware and sharp, but not resourceful on child growth. "Fine, Asris. I will have my servants handle her care until you return from Meat. I owe you this one because of your loyalty. You have my word. Go now and make your race proud." Asris bowed deeply and left quickly with Bardock. King Vegeta simply smirked; holding back his outrage at what he had done, and glanced at the curious children. He waved for a servant to ready them for the ceremony that would announce the leave of the purging mission for Meat.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((

King Vegeta sat upright on his chair, covered in heavy furs and glossy golden armor much like his son, Prince Vegeta's. Two lines of people were formed alongside the throne chair, mostly warriors and their mates. Beside King Vegeta was his son, whose arms were crossed and his face set in a smirk similar to his father's. King Vegeta smugly acknowledged the gruff overweight Saiyin male standing a distance away from him. The unhealthy looking Saiyin wore an old unkept tunic that matched his worn unshaven face. Disgusting, thought King Vegeta, as he noticed the smug blonde boy near the prince looking worn himself. Low- class peasants. The thought left him as a horde of strong, healthy soldiers marched in and knelt before him. The king noted Asris and Bardock in the front. They would lead the mission and make it successful. If not, then they would be stripped of their rank and lowered. Only the strong and fearless survive. Only the king and the other Saiyins tolerated this. It was law. The ceremony ended quickly with the blessing of the king and the high priest. The men marched off and entered into their space pods. The pods were seen blasting off into hyperspace and disappearing into nothing but specks of light.

Before the king left with his council and nobles, a group of richly dressed servants approached him. A tall, pale woman wrapped in a silky gray sari and veil led the group. Her blue feline eyes swept the room and settled on the king.

"My King, General Asris ordered me to take charge of the girl child while we stay in our provided places thanks to your grace," the woman said in a fluid soft voice while adjusting her veil and the bundle in her arms.

The King smirked and stepped forward to observe the woman and child. He took a step back stunned and waved for the servants to leave for their quarters. Prince Vegeta frowned and gripped his father's arm. "Father, what is it?" The King only smirked and walked off to his quarters.

Later on the King would investigate this child who had struck fear into his dead heart and sent a wave of nausea into his brain. This wasn't a Saiyin child and he would learn what his loyal general was hiding from him all these years. (THE NEXT NIGHT(

"Shh.little one," sang the woman as she rocked the crying child in her arms and looked around her out the window. This world was a dead planet, full of fury and bloodshed. She was surprised that the Saiyin monster of a general could even have mated with one of her own kind. She didn't know what to expect and didn't understand until her brother told her. This child was something unlike anything else, a type of prediction made by the Grand Kai nearly a thousand years ago. She did not believe the old man's nonsense and neither did her brother, the Supreme Kai.but her cousin did. Her cousin, Cerridwen, understood things that she, Aelesti Fir' rah, never did. Cerridwen was a Sylph, the highest next to a Kai, and she possessed a great mind that predicted events. Real and Unreal. This little beautiful child she held now.her ki was something that was- She heard a sound and saw the outline of the Saiyin king in the shadows. He was suddenly beside her and staring her down with his coal black eyes.

"I know that you and the child are not what you seem to be," he growled firmly. His eyes burnt into her soul and his ki shield was burning her skin.

"You must promise me, Saiyin, that you will not speak what I say to anyone or reveal us. It will jeopardize her future and your race's."

"I would rather kill you slowly but you have my word since I am more curious to know you. Now tell me who you are and what that is." He crossed his arms and waited for her answer.

She sighed and threw back her veil. He blinked in blindness at her bright pale skin and at her pale snow colored hair that was bound in circlets. She read his mind and began to speak quietly. "I am the twin sister of the Supreme Kai and the protector of wisdom and of all life. My name is not important but I will tell you only what you will know and no one else. None of your soldiers, your whores, or that serpent Frieza will know. I was summoned here because I was the witness to the birth of the Enigma, the Untouchable. She is the daughter of a Sylph healing maiden, the cousin of the Supreme Kai and sister to all the Kai's and the daughter of your elite Saiyin general Asris. You wonder why he lived so long, long past 550 A.D? He found the elixir of Life in Sylph blood because Sylphs are immortal. All I know is that they mated and had this little child. The mother died from the loss of ki and energy, she put all of it into her child. The father will die and so will your people."

The King growled and stepped forward up to the woman. He sneered at the child and glared it down. "Liar, why must I care about the Kais? Or this hybrid?"

"She is meant to do great things. Her ki is beyond anything imaginable and her life force is connected to the Kais, the Supreme Kai in particular. This is all I know, but you must listen." Her ears perked up suddenly as she and the king looked around. He snorted. "Nothing. Fine, I will listen to you Sylph. For now."

In the shadows, a presence lurked and watched the secret meeting of the Kai and the king of Saiyins. As soon as the two left the balcony, the small figure of a pink pasty man with purple lips and a long lizard's tail emerged from the shadows. His head was dipped, his horns pearly white and pointed. He chuckled to himself then looked up at the sky. I knew these dirty monkeys were plotting something.greedy apes of whores..but this little Kai bitch must be serious. The man chuckled again and sneered deeply until his lips looked like a pinched line. Well.maybe he could benefit from this..using powerful warriors as slaves and mercenaries.the child could be something.something useful.but oooh.how dangerous much like the little prince and his little warrior friends.great indeed. Frieza smirked again and powered up his ki, the force vibrating the floor and creating a light breeze. He quickly flew off and prepared for his plan to take place. Tomorrow.





Author's Note: I do not own Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z. Wouldn't that be interesting? Anyway, this is my first real fanfic so be gentle on me! I wanted this fanfic to be something entirely different from the ordinary fanfic, something seductive and mysterious. Sorry if I am too detailed or if I probe too deep into characters but I want you to get a feel of what is going on. I would probably be a better screenplay writer than a storywriter. Its obvious in how I write. Sorry! Well please enjoy my little saga. I intend to have at least 4 parts covering this mysterious baby's life. It is moving a little slow right now but have patience with me! Email me any complaints or ideas or compliments or whatever. Thanks.

Lots of love, Mary Lynne
