Chapter I

During Son Goku's fight with the evil King Piccolo, two humans were walking in West City. They, like half of the city, weren't interested in the fight, even though their lives literally depended on Goku winning. The city was practically alive. People were running along the sidewalk, in and out of stores, engines of cars and motorcycles were roaring. Everywhere you would look, there would be couples in love. One of these couples were no exception. They were a young couple. The young man wore a light blue jacket with a white emblem on the upper part of the right arm. The emblem were two "C"'s, a big one and a smaller one inside. Beneath them were two words that read "Capsule Corp". It was all out lined in black. Underneath the jacket was a blue T-shirt. The young man also wore a pair of dark blue jeans with black triangle-toe boots. His hair was straight and black with light blue streaks. Part of his hair came down over his right eye, as if to hide something. His eyes were dark red, an obvious contradiction to the rest of the colors on his body. He was lean, tall, and could scare someone off with the right look. That didn't work on his girlfriend, however.

She was actually drawn to him. The young woman was shorter than the young man, at least to his shoulder. Her hair was black as night with silver tips and fell to her shoulders. Her eyes were as blue as the ocean. She had a small diamond earring in her left ear. She wore a red leather jacket with black stripes down the arms. Underneath was a black T-shirt with a large Capsule Corp. logo on the back. She also wore a pair of maroon-colored leggings. Her shoes were black high-tops with white laces. The young couple were obviously very different, but, like magnets, they were attracted to each other.

They met two years ago, during the annual Budokai Tournament. They both knew Goku and were rooting for him. The young man was wearing clothing similar to Goku's gi, mainly because he was one of Goku's friends and was training with him. The young man was in the row above a beautiful young woman. She wore her hair in a soft bun. Her hair was completely black then. She had a thin orange jacket and a blue shirt. She wore grey sweatpants and black Sneakers.

As the Tournament continued, the young man got a little too excited and leaned too far forward, falling and face-planting in the seat near the young woman. She turned her head quickly and almost laughed. She helped the young man up and their eyes met. His red eyes to her blue eyes. They were lost in each other's gaze. The young man's black and blue hair set neatly over his right eye, even after the clumsy fall he just had. The two tried to stop looking at each other, but each attempt made it much harder. Slowly, but surely, they were falling in love.

"I'm Jack", the young man said as they sat back down.

"I'm Viola", the young woman said softly. This was the first time in a few years that Viola had fallen for someone as entrancing as Jack. His red eyes drew her in and the way his hair set over his eye didn't help. Jack could say the same thing. Viola's ocean blue eyes were a sight to see.

"Jack! Jack!" a voice called to him, interrupting the moment between him and Viola. Jack turned his head and saw Goku waving at him from the arena to come down for a bit. He looked at Viola and shouted back "No", grabbed Viola's hand and walked away to somewhere more private.

Viola didn't know what to think about her situation. Should she stop Jack and tell him to go to Son Goku, or stop him to kiss him? They weren't around anyone in the hallway Jack led her to, so maybe she could.

"No… Not now", Viola thought. She shook her head and stopped herself. Jack felt the resistance and looked at Viola.

"Are you okay"? Jack asked Viola, still holding her hand. She said nothing and let herself fall into Jack's arms and buried her head in his chest, sobbing softly. Jack rubbed her back gently and fought back his own tears. He had forgotten what it was like to love and to be loved by someone. They knew that they had found love in each other and Jack made a promise to his new love.

"Viola", Jack began as he wiped Viola's tears away, "I promise that I will never leave you. If you are taken, I will never stop looking for you." Viola squeezed Jack hard and he continued. "If I am taken, I will come back to you, no matter how long it takes." Viola went from soft sobs to tears that seemed to never end. She was so happy and so glad that Jack had fallen next to her.

Jack lifted Viola's head up to look into her eyes. They leaned into each other. Viola wrapped her arms around Jack's neck as Jack wrapped his arms around Viola, pulling her closer.

"Is this true love"? Jack thought. "I only thought this was a fairytale, love at first sight and all…"

"Could this be it? True love"? Viola thought as she and Jack got closer to each other. Viola's breathing became light and shallow, Jack's heart started to race and then, they kissed. It was a soft and passionate kiss that true love would deem worthy. The two young lovers hearts soon began to beat in perfect synchronization and they knew they were going to be together for the rest of their lives.

Two years later, as Goku fought Piccolo, Jack and Viola wandered through West City. To the naked eye, or to those who didn't know them, they seemed like a normal couple. Goku, Krillin, Chi-Chi, Bulma, Yamcha, Oolong, Puar, Tien Shinhan and Master Roshi knew how Jack and Viola really were. Wild and unpredictable was how they were alone. However, when Jack and Viola fought each other in tournaments, their skills were unmatched by other opponents. They could read each other easily.

But this day was a relaxed day for Jack and Viola. They had faith that Goku would defeat Piccolo. As that fight went on, the young couple went to grab a bite to eat. Because they both worked at Capsule Corp., they had it easy with money. They didn't get in over their heads with money and knew that Bulma would be mad at them if they spent too much. A few hours later, Goku defeated Piccolo. As the fight concluded, Jack called Bulma.

"You want me to come get Viola? Why"? Bulma asked, confused at Jack's request.

"She's been wanting to spend time with her best friends, B", Jack responded. "Vi looked at me and I saw that she wanted to do something with you and Chi-Chi."

Bulma groaned. "Okay, I'll be over there soon."

"Thanks, Bulma", Jack said. "Oh yeah, we're already at Capsule Corp, by the way."

"Really"? Bulma asked surprised. "Okay then. That saves me a lot of time." They hung up their phones and Viola jumped into Jack's arms, kissing him. Jack was smiling after each kiss they shared. He set Viola down ran his fingers through her soft hair. Viola reached a hand to Jack's to pull him back down for a kiss. Jack didn't fight it. They loved each other so much.

About twenty minutes later, Bulma showed up at Capsule Corp. with Chi-Chi in a blue car. Viola kissed Jack one more time and left to have fun with Bulma and Chi-Chi. Jack watched as the three women left. He started to grin, knowing he could do something special for Viola. For the first time in two years, he flew into the sky and headed for the first jewelry shop.

"Welcome back, Jackie", the store owner said. He was a old man who could tell what someone wanted by talking to them.

"Hey, Carl", Jack replied.

"Come to look at the ring you had made for your lady?"

"Yeah", Jack said with a smile. They went to the back and Carl pulled out a red velvet box from his desk and opened it. As Jack hovered the old man, his smile got even brighter.

"She's gonna love it", Jack said, taking the box.

"I'm sure she will, m'boy", Carl replied. Jack landed softly and shook the old man's hand but was so happy that he hugged him as well. Carl chuckled softly as Jack flew out of the store, remembering a time he had that much energy. However, something was coming to Earth. Little did Jack know, he was about to get ripped away from Viola in the most unexpected way.

"You're sure the specimen is on Earth, little brother"? a creature asked.

"Yes, Cooler", the other responded hotly, "I'm sure." That was Frieza, a Frost Demon and the self proclaimed Emperor of the Universe. His big brother, Cooler, didn't care too much for taking and selling planets.

"Now, now", another voice began, "No need in getting bent out of shape, my sons." King Cold was one of strongest warriors of the Frost Demon clan and of his planet, and only in his second form. Frieza was in his first form and Cooler was in his fourth form.

"I'm perfectly calm, Father", Frieza said with a slight attitude. He wasn't happy that the only way that he was going to get his specimen was with a scouter's ship. He'd rather do it himself and fly down to Earth and grab the specimen with his own hands and not his brother in a scout ship. But, Cooler knew how to keep things quiet. He got in the ship and departed for the Earth.

Jack was on his way back to Capsule Corp. and sensed a large power headed his way. He stopped and prepared himself for anything. What happened next caught Jack by surprise. He was hit by a paralyzing energy blast. He strained to stay airborne, but to no avail. Jack fell to the surface, but was caught by something or someone. The creature took Jack to a small ship and into space to an even bigger ship. Fear overcame him and he knew it would be a long time before he would be reunited with his precious Viola.

While Viola was returning to Capsule Corp., she could feel Jack's energy starting to fade. She thought that he was dying at first, but remembered that energy felt different when someone was dying. In a panic, Viola told Bumla to hurry.

"What's the rush, Vi"? Bulma asked.

"Don't ask me questions right now!" Viola screamed. "Just hurry to Capsule Corp!" Bulma knew not to press anymore at this point. She stepped on the gas pedal and the blue car zoomed to Capsule Corp. They arrived just as something began to disappear into space. Viola flew to the ship at full speed, but was just a few minutes too late. She tried shooting a Kamehameha at the ship's engine. Sadly, it had already left and Viola missed completely. She slowly hovered to the ground and was silent for a moment. Then, she screamed violently, powering up to a level past Goku's. Viola vowed to do everything she could to find Jack and would not stop until she did.
