Prolouge - The Incident
It all started 19 years ago, when a 4-year-old girl named Morningjewel was heading back home after a short walk around the forest. She and her parents weren't far from the cities' environment. Or, at least, she and her mother. It was a beautiful day, and not a single cloud was up in the sky. Morningjewel took a deep breath and sighed, a small yet relaxed smile on her face. Today was a good day , as always . . . or so she thought. As she was standing at the front of her house, she noticed that some things was different. 'Where's Mommy?' She thought, knowing her mother should be outside knitting or out in the garden planting fruits and vegetables. CRASH! "Mommy?!" Morningjewel shouted, shock and worry in the her voice. Morningjewel ran to the front door and opened the door. She ran and knelt down to see her mother covered in . . . blood?! "Mommy! Are you okay?!" She cried, shaking her mother's shoulder. She heard a cough. "M-Morningjewel?" She moaned, pain flowing throughout her body. "Mommy! You're hurt! Reawwy bad!" "Yeah, I know. *cough* *cough* B-But don't w-worry too much. It'll be alr-right." Her mother said, trying to calm her daughter down. "What do you mean Mommy?! You need help!" Morningjewel cried, feeling her eyes heating up. Her mother smiled. "Here," she said, holding a small, green, crystal-like ball with a green gem inside the ball. "I want you to have this. It was supposed to be your birthday present, but I feeling that my time here is short." Mroningjewel, her hands shaking and her eyes watered with tears, took hold of the ball. "M-Mommy," Morningjewel whimpered. Her mother held her hand up to Morningjewel's small cheeks, her smile still showing. "I love you sweetheart," her mother said. "You're going to do great things for the world. You are very special. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I love you . . ." As her hand slowly began to fall off Morning jewel, she closed her eyes and leaving her body numb and cold. "M-Mommy?" Morning jewel shook her mother's shoulder again, thinking she was taking a nap. No response. "Mommy?! Wake up, Mommy! Wake up!" She cried, shaking her mother more. Still no response. She knelt her on her mother's chest as she began to cry. Minutes later after she stopped crying, Morningjewel finds herself laying at the spot that her mother laid. "Huh?!" She gasped, her mother no where to be seen. Just then, she heard someone shouting out some sort of command, but couldn't quite clearly hear it. She steps out of the house, seeing a huge mass of red and purple energy heading towards her house. With surprise and fear, she ran as quickly as she could, but felt being lifted off the ground, landing inside a nearby bush, and hearing a very loud BOOM! behind her. She turned around and sat up, seeing that not only her house being blown to pieces, but a strange man with red hair and blue clothing floating in the middle of the blown up house. This man was also holding of what it looked like a skeleton staff with a red and purple crystal ball at the tip of the staff. Seconds later, Morningjewel saw the strange man disappear into thin air. For a while now, Morningjewel just sat there, bewildered that her home was gone and scared her mother isn't by her side anymore. She also wondered who that person was and what was it looking for. Morningjewel looked at the green ball that was surprisingly still held on her hand. Whoever it was, it didn't seem too happy not having this in its possessions. I stood back up again, looking back at the house that once stood there. She felt her eyes began to water, realizing she needs to watch over herself. "G-Go-Goodbye, Mommy . . ." She choked. Then she started running into the forest, tears falling pass her cheek and into the air. That was only 19 years ago . . . and that was when she became an orphan who was not only the future hero, but also a very special Saiyan who would one day become the Earth's guardian.
