Chapter One: Return of the Forgotten Saiyan
Eight years ago Gohan disappeared, he left only a note, which read:
Dear Everyone,
I've left Earth and do not plan to ever return. I am tired of being bossed around, told how to do every little thing. Since my fight with my father, after he was brought back, I have been scarred. Go ahead and search for me all you want, but I guarantee you won't find me. If you're lucky enough to find me, I'm not coming back. Gohan has died and I have been born in his place.
Formerly Gohan
Everyone was shocked and saddened by Gohan's decision to leave and never return. However little did they know that they would once day see him again. But not as the sweet little boy he once was, but as something completely different. The only one that did not give up for Gohan was his twin sister Fasha, named after the Saiyan Fasha who was apart of Bardock's crew, before they died.
Three Years Later
"You will do as your told young lady!" snapped Chichi angrily.
"And if I don't want to, then what?" replied Fasha.
"Then you will have your meals cut in half! Again!" said Chichi furiously.
"Nothing new, for the three years you have expected me to live up to his expectations! I don't want to and I am not him! He didn't care for fighting, but I like fighting! You yourself were a fighter once, but now you are nothing but an old screeching harpy housewife, who can't do anything, but punish her daughter!" snapped Fasha angrily.
Chichi was beyond furious now, she was fuming with rage. So much so that what she did next would haunt her for the rest of her life. In a fight of rage she had struck her daughter across the face, sending her sprawling to the floor in surprise.
"You hit me!" said Fasha astonished at what her mother had just done to her.
After realizing what she had done, Chichi tried to comfort her daughter.
"No! Get away from me!" said Fasha shoving her mother away from her.
"Fasha…" began Chichi.
"No! Get away from me! Stay away from me!" said Fasha with obvious detest I her voice as she ran upstairs to her room.
While in her room she barricaded her door and packed her clothes in her bag, along with her most treasured items. Sealing it up, she capsulized them and flew out her window, while Chichi was trying to break down the door. Fasha arrived at Capsule Corps about an hour later and ran into Vegeta.
"What are you doing here brat of Kakarot?" demanded Vegeta.
"Vegeta…" began Fasha, but Vegeta saw the bruise on her face and silenced her and took her into the house. "WOMAN!"
"MY NAME IS BULMA! GET IT THROUGH YORU THICK HEAD!" snapped Bulma as she entered the kitchen and saw Fasha. "What happened!"
"My mother, she hit me," was all Fasha could manage to say.
"Hard enough to leave a bruise?" questioned Vegeta, shocked that Chichi was capable of that. "You have to leave Earth."
"Vegeta!" said Bulma.
"Woman, the brat's parents will come here looking for her. We will tell them she took a ship and left Earth! Otherwise next time it could be worse than a bruise! That harpy will be the death of all Saiyan's hybrid or not!" said Vegeta as Bulma understood.
Vegeta had always had a soft spot for Fasha, ever since he first met her. She had shown him compassion when he ridiculed her. He had grown to think of her as his own daughter. However he soon realized how foolish that was and instead in the Saiyan culture had adopted her as his niece and her twin brother as his nephew. Thirty minutes later she was off Earth and among the stars. At the same time Goku, Goten, and Chichi arrived to get her.
"She's gone Kakarot; she took the ki masking ship. She'll return… eventually. For now, get out of my home!" said Vegeta causing everyone there to jump.
Goku and his family left and Vegeta looked to the stars again and was saddened by the fact that he wouldn't be able to see his niece again for a long time.
Six Years Later – Orange Star City
Videl Satan was busy fighting crime as usual, when the ugliest creature she ever laid eyes on appeared. It was draining people of their energy, so she went to try and knock it out, but was thrown back against a light pole. It began to drain her as well, when she heard a voice call out.
"Venus Crescent V Smash!"
"Mars Celestial Fire Surround!"
"Jupiter Thunder Crash!"
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"
"Moon Spiral Heart Attack!"
Videl saw the monster obliterated and her energy return to her. She tried to get up, but found that she couldn't move without extreme pain.
"Are you alright Miss Satan?" asked Sailor Moon.
"How do you know my name?" asked Videl.
"Everybody knows who you are. You're the daughter of Hercule Satan the World Martial Arts Champion," said Sailor Venus.
"Oh yeah, who are you gals?" asked Videl.
"We're the Sailor Senshi; we fight creatures that drain people of their energy, like the one you just saw. Where exactly does it hurt, we'll get you to a hospital," said Sailor Jupiter.
"My back, I can barely move," said Videl.
"It seems like the monster may have broken a few ribs if it hurts to move. I would say your body is in a temporary shock. It would be dangerous to move you. But the police are on their way here as we speak," said Sailor Mercury.
"Thank you," said Videl.
"Your welcome," said Sailor Mars gently as Videl closed her eyes to rest.
The Sailor Senshi quickly disappeared from sight, but kept a close watch on Videl.
"Do you think she'll be alright?" asked Venus.
"Only time will tell for sure, but I think she'll be alright, she's a fighter," said Mars.
Orange Star High
Videl had been diagnosed with a broken rib, several bruised ribs, and a minor concussion. She was allowed back to school, but she was temporarily handicapped. So she wouldn't be allowed to participate in any sports or Physical Activities, instead until her doctor said she had a clean slate of health she was the unofficial Assistant Coach in Gym class.
"Class today we have several new students, please make them feel welcome and if anybody does any hooting, whistling, or anything related to such behavior, then the entire class shall have two fifty page essay's due tomorrow!" said Miss Slate.
It was enough of a threat to keep the entire class quite. Miss Slate called for the new students to walk-in to the classroom together. There were five girls grouped together and a guy and girl standing next to each other.
"Please introduce yourselves and tell us a little about yourself," said Miss Slate.
"Hi, I'm Serena Tsukino, I'm new to this part of the country and hope to make friends with many of you," said Serena as she moved aside.
"He, I'm Lita Kino, I'm new here as well and don't even think about hitting on me. I'll break your balls in a heart beat," said Lita as the boys remembered her threat/warning.
"Hello, I am Amy Mizuno, nice to meet you all. I'm new as well and would be glad to help anybody with any study problems," said Amy as one guy coughed nerd about Amy.
"Can it or you'll deal with me! I'm Raye Hino, make fun of her and I'll have you crying for your mommies!" snapped Raye angrily at everybody who had hurt Amy's feelings.
"I'm Mina Aino and I with them," said Mina pointing to Raye and Lita.
"Alright thank you," said Miss Slate as she glared at the class. "Our next to guests have informed me they don't want to introduce themselves or be introduced either. However this is my classroom and I will introduce them."
The class murmured at her strictness on the new students until she slap a ruler down on her next loudly getting everybody's attention. "Now then, would Ashura L. Moon please step forward, and say something about yourself?" said Miss Slate, rather than asking.
"Mess with me or my sister and you may regret it for the rest of your natural born life," said Ashura sternly.
"Okay, would a miss Kasumi L. Moon please step forward and say a few things about yourself," said Miss Slate.
"You heard my name, mess with me I'll make you regret it and so will my brother," said Kasumi sternly as well.
"Thank you, Miss Moon, please take a seat next to Miss Satan. Mr. Moon, take the empty seat two seats away from Miss Heart. Miss Tsukino, take a seat next to Mr. Moon, Miss Hino, take a seat on the other side of Mr. Moon, next to Miss Heart. Now Miss Mizuno, take a seat next to Mr. Pencil, Miss Aino, take a seat next to Miss Mizuno, and Miss Kino, take a seat next to Miss Moon," said Miss Slate. "Now since the person that made the nerd comment was dumb enough to open his mouth, everybody as a fifty page report due tomorrow on the following subjects."
"Thanks a lot Sharpner!" snapped almost half the class.
"Now, now, since I know the perpetrator he has two fifty page reports due to tomorrow and if he doesn't finish them and turn them in by next class tomorrow he has a month of detention," said Miss Slate. "Now then everybody shall be a group of nine, the new students, along with Miss Satan and Miss Rubber, are one group and have to do a report on the new business that rivals Capsule Corps and Satan Inc, Shadow Enterprises. The next group consisting of the jocks has to do a report on the history of the Legendary Martial Artist Goku Son. The rest of you have to do a report on the Cell Games and what really happened. Everybody knows that Hercule claims he didn't beat Cell, but had considered taking credit for it, but he put his family first instead of himself. Interview everybody that was there and if it turns out that somebody that was there is another groups project, then the two groups are to cooperate with each other or risk three months of detention. Now I'm in a good mood now and have received a memo from the Dean that these projects have to be at least a month to two months long."
"Thank goodness," breathed Sharpner.
"Because of this, Mr. Pencil you have two months of automatic detention for disrespect for your fellow student and your teacher," said Miss Slate evilly.
-
After class on the way to Gym, Raye heard Sharpner say that Miss Slate had to be evil for the detention and homework she gives out to him every year he's stuck with her. She smiled to herself knowing that she wasn't evil at least not really evil, just really strict. However when she had sat down next to Ashura and tried to greet him he merely nodded and didn't say anything more. He just watched the teacher move and watched her body posture and facial expressions. However when she heard the teacher assign him and the group he was in, which she was also in, that they had to do a report on the business Shadow Enterprises he had smirked, like he was going to laugh. When she arrived at the Gym she saw him and his sister standing against the wall like they were bored with the class and wanted to leave.
"Alright class, this year the Dean has selected this class, as in all of you here right now, to be scheduled two times a day. Right before lunch and at the end of the day. Now today we are going to play baseball with a twist, you can use anything to bat with and there will be no free walking, except when your hit by a pitch," said the coach. "Now Videl is going to be the assistant coach for now, so she gets to choose team captains."
"Alright Sharpner and Ashura are team captains," said Videl who received a death glare from Ashura.
"Alright I choose Thompson," said Sharpner.
"Kasumi," said Ashura.
"Roberts," said Sharpner.
"Kino," said Ashura.
"Thomas," said Sharpner.
"Hino," said Ashura.
This went on until both teams were equaled out and ready to play. The teams were as follows:
Ashura's Team:
Ashura, Kasumi, Lita, Raye, Mina, Serena, Amy, Jacen Shienhan, Sakura Shienhan, Matt Chestnut, Lime Chun, and Mirai Briefs.
Sharpner's Team:
Sharpner, Thomas, Thompson, Matthews, Roberts, Snake, Viper, Kobra, Rex, Heart, Erasa, and Angel.
Sharpner's team was batting first, while Ashura's was pitching.
"Kino, you pitch or I do it," said Ashura as Lita took the ball grudgingly. "Kasumi Center Field, Briefs Right Field, Shienhan Left Field, other Shienhan third base, Chestnut second base, Chun first base, Mizuno short stop, Tsukino other short stop, Aino behind second five feet, Hino catcher, I'll take Center Field as well."
When the line up was set Lita pitched the ball and Sharpner hit it to the right field, where Mirai had run up the wall and jumped off to catch it. Everyone knew he was a martial artist, but to see if run up a wall and catch what would have been a homerun was amazing and shocking. Lita pitched again and struck out Heart and then she struck Erasa out.
"Batting order is as follows: Kino, Hino, Aino, Tsukino, Mizuno, Chun, Shienhan, Shienhan, Briefs, Chestnut, Kasumi, and then me," said Ashura. "Kasumi if you get up to bat this inning, don't hit it too hard."
Mirai had heard this and wondered why Ashura didn't want Kasumi to hit it too hard if she got up to bat. He turned his attention back to the game and noticed the bases were loaded and they had already scored three points. It Sakura up to bat and she was using a cricket bat. Smacking the ball right into the center field she had hit Roberts in the head with the ball. He was rubbing his head as he threw the ball to second base, where her brother was pronounced safe. It was his turn to bat and he used a baseball bat that had half of its side missing. He smacked it right into Sharpner's gut, knocking the wind from him as he made it to second base, leaving the score at zero to six.
It was Matt Chestnut's turn to bat and he used a steel chair and smacked the ball right into Sharpner's head, knocking him out. It was an infield homerun and when Sharpner awoke he had somebody else take over pitching while he went to sit down from his minor concussion with a baseball. Then Kasumi came up to bat with a sledge hammer and she got little cheers from the other team as they mocked her, like they did all the other female players that were new. She looked at Ashura for confirmation to knock him out of the game and he nodded smirking at the pour unfortunate souls that had crossed her. It was Kobra who pitched the ball and Kasumi slammed the sledge hammer into the ball, sending it flying into the score board and then into the back of Thomas, Thompson, Roberts, and Matthews heads, leaving them out cold.
Videl and the coach quickly went to check on them and heard them saying things like they were in the third grade! They looked at Kasumi who was smirking at her handy work and walked the bases and then home plate. Videl made her way carefully over to Kasumi and glared at her.
"What the hell did you do to them?" asked Videl.
"Put them in their place with an unfortunate miscalculation," said Kasumi sarcastically.
"Fine, since it seems to be an accident, you're off the hook for now!" said Videl.
"Whatever," replied Kasumi.
"Kasumi, next time aim for the more sensitive areas," said Ashura as she smirked at him.
When Ashura stepped up to bat everyone was on edge as he was carrying a huge sledge hammer that had to weigh at least fifty to a hundred pounds. When Kobra pitched the ball, Ashura didn't swing it like a bat, instead he swung it like a sledge hammer, slamming the ball into the ground itself. Everyone was desperately searching for the ball when Ashura touched home plate after running the bases.
"Alright Ashura where is the ball?" asked Videl.
"It's right here," said Ashura pointing to the deep hole in the ground right in front of home plate.
"No way!" said Videl as everyone came running to look and saw the ball indeed was in the hole and it was going to be near impossible to get it out of the hole. "Coach! We need another ball!"
"What happened to the last one, get knocked out of here?" asked the coach as he came and saw the hole and the baseball in it. "Who did this!"
"Ashura," said everyone, except Kasumi.
"Will you be on the boxing team?" asked the coach as everyone looked at the coach like he was crazy. "Follow me class, we have a machine that measures your strength, the same ones used at the World Martial Arts Tournaments!"
Inside the Gym
Everyone followed but couldn't shake the feeling that Ashura wouldn't hesitate to do that to them, if they ever crossed him or his sister. When they arrived in the gym the machine was set up and everything.
"Alright everyone, punch the machine when your name is called, and if you hold anything back, I will fail you this class and the next!" said the coach. "Only Videl, until medically cleared, is exempt from this right now."
Everyone understood and didn't put up any type of fuss. "Matthews!"
He punched the machine and scored: 101.
"Sharpner!"
He scored: 197
"Erasa!"
She scored: 2
Everyone laughed at her score and when she attempted to slap them and missed, she hit the machine raising her score to: 124. That caused everyone to stop laughing and fear her slap, as not tot get hit by it.
"Kasumi!"
Kasumi acted like she was bored and that made everyone upset, at least those who knew about the school's record as the most violent free and having the most sports awards. She punched the machine and sent it flying across the gym into the far wall.
"Okay, the brakes must not have been set all the way, lets see your score," said the coach as he walked over to the machine and visibly paled. "Okay, that has to be broken, there is no way your score can be twenty-five hundred!"
Everyone except Ashura looked at her, like she was a freak, but she ignored it. "Alright Ashura your turn."
Ashura smirked as he visibly set the clamps down and made sure he couldn't push it away and then slugged the machine as hard as he could, sending it and part of the floor through the far wall and into the baseball field. When they arrived at the sight of the machine and part of the floor it read: Holy shit! 5000!
Everyone looked at the machine like it was malfunctioning and then at Ashura who lifted it up, pretending that it was heavy to him and set it down face up.
"It's right, that was an error," said Ashura as everyone relaxed. Once Ashura fixed the machine with the coach's permission he set back into place, where the floor had been ripped out by his punch to the machine. "Now let's try this again."
Ashura took off trench coat and everyone saw that he was wearing weights on his entire arm. When he took them off and put them on the floor they heard a creaking noise from the floor. "Kasumi, capsulized them in a minute," said Ashura as he removed his outer shirt and the last of the weights. "Much better, at least for now."
Everyone watched Kasumi capsulized the weights and then looked back at Ashura. The girls were nearly drooling over him, forcing Kasumi to keep them back with threats about their hair being shaved off. Ashura flexed his muscles loosening his muscles and then punched the machine as hard as he could, sending it flying again with more of the floor that time. When they arrived at its location it read: What the hell just hit me? X000!
"Damn machine is still not working right," mumbled Ashura as he punched it again, knocking it offline. Videl had seen what it read and was suspicious of Ashura and his sister Kasumi. Unbeknownst to her, Serena and the others had also seen what it read.
"Coach, lets use mine, its better equipped to handle what that piece of junk couldn't. It's been modified to more of punishment and the calculations are precise to the nearest nine tenths," said Ashura as the coach nodded impressed that such a strength measuring machine existed. Ashura un-capsulized the machine and it looked exactly like the other one, except for the fact that it was a bit larger and had the Shadow Enterprises logo on it. Ashura had everyone re punch or slap it. The new scores were: Matthews 102, Sharpner 198, Erasa 125, Kasumi XV000, Ashura XX000, Serena 2000, Lita 3000, Raye 2500, Amy 900, Mina 1000, Lime 825, Mirai X0000, Thompson 128, Thomas 120, Rex 192, Roberts 153, Snake 101, Viper 120, Kobra 153, Heart 75, Angel 74, Sakura 600, Jacen 650, and Matt 400.
"Whoa, the old machine usually measures me at one twenty three!" said Thompson as the others agreed this machine was better, even if it did lower the scores a little, it was more accurate and a lot better at taking the kind of punishment Ashura and his sister had dealt tot the last machine.
"Alright class, its time for you to go!" said the coach as he checked his watch. When everyone looked around to see where the machine had gone and where Ashura and Kasumi, they saw them heading to the parking lot.
-
Meanwhile in the locker rooms everyone was talking excitedly over the results of the strength machine. In the girls locker room Videl was getting a stranger feeling that not everything was as it seemed with Ashura and his sister or the new girls or even the others who were all members of a family that was either rich or participated in the World Martial Arts Tournament years ago.
Raye had a strange feeling about Ashura, like they had met before, but only briefly. It was true that Trista had helped them form an alliance with other planets in the galaxy. But since history had be rewritten by someone who had gotten past the time gates, several times without her catching the culprit or how the person had done it, everything had changed, for worse or better, they didn't know. All they knew was that everything seemed to come out for the better and the world had actually found ways to heal the planet and keep it healthy, getting rid of old fashioned type vehicles or having the refurbished into more environmentally safe vehicles. But the feeling that they had met in space once never left her.
"Hey Raye, we just got an invitation to go over to Kasumi and Ashura's house for the project in history class!" said Serena excitedly.
"Great, just let me get dressed, and we'll be on our way!" said Raye as she started to dress quickly.
Thirty minutes later
Raye and the others had arrived at the address that Kasumi had given them, but they couldn't believe there eyes. It had the Shadow Enterprises logo on it and written in the same strange language as was on all their products, along with the translation. Only the logo here had an extra word written in the two languages. They couldn't believe it, they were actually at the Shadow Enterprises Headquarters.
They knocked on the door and waited for somebody to answer it. When nobody answered, they buzzed the intercom.
"Shadow Enterprises Headquarters, how may I help you?" asked the voice.
"Um, we're here to see Ashura and Kasumi," said Serena nervously.
"One moment please," said the voice, whom they assumed was female.
"What do you think this is all about?" asked Mina.
"Mr. Lunar, will be with you in a moment, please enter," said the female voice.
When they entered they were greeted with the sight of black walls with the company's corporate logo on them. There was even a picture of the company's founders on the wall behind the receptionist, it was Ashura and Kasumi in the picture alright, but they didn't look too happy. They were on the verge of scowling in the picture and looked ready to pulverize you.
"Welcome ladies, please have a seat, Mr.Moon will be with you shortly," said the receptionist.
"Why can't he meet with us now?" asked Lita stubbornly
"Mr. Lunar is currently in a meeting, a long distance meeting at that," said the receptionist as she jumped when she heard the slam of an elevator door go flying into the wall across the hall.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE SUEING ME! FOR WHAT!" screamed Kasumi as she spoke into the mike attached to her phone. "FOR HARRASSING YOU? YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I DIDN'T HARRASS YOU! WHEN MY BROTHER FINDS OUT−"
They looked at like she was nuts, but how would your react when your told your being sued for a bunch of garbage.
"I see, so you'll drop the charges if I pay you how much?" said Kasumi. "TWENTY MILLION! YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR FROM ASHURA BOUT THIS!"
They could swear her scowl deepened from whatever the one suing her said.
"You will live to regret this! You realize that it is our company that you work for, right?" said Kasumi. "What do you mean your company is apart of ours! We bought the company you work for out and gave all the employees jobs with our company! This includes you!"
There was a moment of silence as Kasumi seemed to get angrier and they saw the receptionist duck under desk and the rest of the girls followed suit and soon enough there was a loud explosion and hole in the wall.
"Miss Zulu get somebody to clean this mess up and fix the elevator door!" said Kasumi.
"Yes Miss Moon, by the way you have five guests that decided to duck under my desk as well," said Miss Zulu.
"Come on out girls," said Kasumi. "What did you see?"
"We didn't see anything, we heard a loud crash that made the receptionist jump and then we heard you yelling. We saw the elevator door against the wall across from it and then we saw the receptionist take cover under her desk and we followed suit," said Amy.
"Good, that was one of the many male employees that have decided to have the balls to attempt and sue me for harassment. In this company there are two bosses, me and my brother, I am in charge of all the female workers and Ashura the male. This way we reduce the chances of what you just heard," said Kasumi. "However Miss Zulu here works for both of us and reports to both us. She has been with the company since the beginning, right Miss Zulu?"
"Correct Miss Moon, I happen to like my job, so I work here at the front desk as the receptionist, but my title states that I am to be paid like the vice president and that I am head of all secretaries and receptionists, I report directly to Mr.Moon and MissMoon here," said Miss Zulu. "She's actually a lot more patient than most of my former bosses. But none of my former bosses would cause everyone within earshot to jump with one word either."
"Thanks a lot Zulu," muttered Kasumi.
"Your welcome Miss Moon," said Miss Zulu.
"Now Ashura should be done with his meeting by now, if he isn't then, he may very well order hits on them," said Kasumi.
"He'd have them killed?" asked Serena fearfully.
"Only for treachery in the ranks, such as espionage against us, embezzlement against us, selling secrets to our rivals, and so forth," said Kasumi.
"What do you do then?" asked Serena as the others took notes.
"Me? I'm the head of the female workforce at Shadow Enterprises. I make sure that everything concerning the female gender here is adequate. Here we ant our employees to feel safe and meaningful. We provide living quarters to those whose homes were either destroyed in wars, raids, or seized from them by the greedy. Though we do venture out sometimes to relieve the old glory days, before creating this company," said Kasumi.
"What exactly did you do in your so called glory days?" asked Mina.
"That is classified information Miss Aino," said Kasumi. "What Ashura and I did in our glory days made us well known. We weren't exactly model citizens and because of which we weren't exactly liked by the authorities."
"Oh, its one of those 'do everything they tell you to do or else' countries," said Serena, imitating a grumpy old man with nothing better to do than make people miserable.
"Something along those lines, yes," said Kasumi.
"Why didn't you tell anybody that you and Ashura were the heads of a company that is currently more powerful than Capsule Corps?" asked Amy.
"Because, then we would be bombarded with questions about our past and that is also confidential. Now anymore questions?" asked Kasumi.
"Just one, are you and Ashura single?" asked Mina jokingly.
"Yes, we are," said Kasumi. "But I'll warn you now, if you ask Ashura anything about our past, our glory days, or if he's single or not, he will not hesitate to throw you out of the building."
"So he'll have us kicked out?" asked Serena curiously.
"No, he'll literally throw you out of the building. The last person he did that too was in the hospital for three months and afterward when he came back to work he was fired on the spot," said Kasumi.
"What did he say or do?" asked Mina.
"He called Ashura and me weak little monkey's," said Kasumi. "Don't ever call us weak, pathetic, or monkey's, oryou will live to regret they day you did, for a long time."
"Do you think we have enough for the report?" asked Lita.
"Almost, you have to get an interview with Ashura and for the record we would both like to remain anonymous," said Kasumi.
"Okay," said Raye as they entered Ashura's office to see him quite furious as he roared back at the other members of the company board of directors.
"Fine! You want me out of office as president and CEO of this company so bad? Then so be it, but I'm warning you now, watch your backs, you won't ever be truly safe again! Especially when the public hears about you forcing me out of office! You forget that I am fifty-one percent owner of this company! If you wish to destroy this company so bad, then so be it!" said Ashura as he slammed his fist onto the steel table sending it collapsing to the floor. "Until this reaches the Council of Business Directors you are all on paid administrative leave."
"Ashura?" asked Kasumi.
"The board as decided to force me out of office, since you are my joint owner of this company, you will also be forced out of the company. I knew I should have had them eliminated when I first suspected their treachery. They have done it like this so I can't even order a hit on them, without it coming back to me," said Ashura.
"Um Ashura?" asked Raye cautiously.
"Yes?" asked Ashura as he looked at her.
"We know somebody that would be willing to buy your company out and do exactly as you've done with this company," said Raye as she watched Ashura carefully.
"This company is not for sell, not yet," said Ashura.
"Maybe not, but sell the company to Silver Alliances Incorporated and this company will just be another branch of that company," said Raye. "Everybody keeps their job and you can remain at the top."
"Maybe, but I was planning on leaving my most trusted employee as the head of this company. However he was fired from his job by the board," said Ashura as he sat back exhausted and tired. "Give me their number and I'll give them a call."
"Here it is," said Amy as she handed him a card.
"So Trista is the president," said Ashura smirking.
"You know her?" said Serena shocked as well as the others.
"Of course I know her, she's my ex-girlfriend until we broke it off. She had her job and I had my jobs," said Ashura as he remembered he had been an assassin at the time.
"Were you two on friendly terms afterwards?" asked Raye.
"We lost contact, shortly after I forged this company and forced a great many people into this company, so they could have a place to call home. They all came willingly, when I say forced, I mean that I gave them an offer they couldn't refuse," said Ashura.
"Oh," said Raye. "Have we met before, you look really familiar."
"I don't think we have, this is the first I've been back here in eight years," said Ashura.
"Okay, maybe it was just somebody who looked like you," said Raye as they interviewed him and afterward left for their homes.
"Should we have lied to them Ashura?" asked Kasumi.
"You know as well as I do Kasumi, that the only reason we have returned to this planet is so we can have a little vacation from everything in the universe. We both knew the day would come when this company would be put out of business, in one form or the other. Now lets call Trista, we have a meeting to set up about her buying this company," said Ashura as Kasumi nodded in agreement.
-
Little did they realize that Raye had overheard them, when she went back to grab her coat which she had left in his office. She was shocked to realize that he had lied to her and that they were from another planet. It was good to know, yet it also angered her to know they could lie to their faces like that. She decided to go home and forget about her jacket and ask the next day if she had forgotten in at his office.

Silver Alliance Inc. Headquarters
Meanwhile at Silver Alliances Incorporated headquarters, Trista was busy designing a new set of clothes that would hopefully become a hit. She heard the phone ring and her secretary answered it.
"Miss Meioh, there is a phone call for you," said the secretary.
"Take a message," said Trista as she went back to work on her designs.
"She's not in right now, can I take a message?" asked the secretary.
As soon as Trista heard the secretary say that she heard a loud crash. Quickly running to check if her secretary was okay, she saw that she was extremely pale and jumpy.
"Miss Meioh, I suggest you take this call. He is rather persistent and has promised that he will personally come down here and level this building if he doesn't hear from you in half an hour," said the secretary.
Trista knew of only one man that could make anybody jump like that, her old boyfriend, Ashura Lunar.
"Hello?" asked Trista.
"Trista," replied Ashura.
"Ashura, how are you?" asked Trista curiously.
"Personally good, financially I'm heading towards the gutter. I was referred to you for a business matter," said Ashura.
"You need help with financial situations? That'll be the day," said Trista.
"Damn it Trista, I am not joking! My company is being forced into a possible bankruptcy and my Board of Directors has decided to force me from office! It's going before the council as we speak! I was able to get my proposal in and I have to your agreement to purchase my company, so my employees can still have their jobs and a home," said Ashura.
"I see, how much are we talking about Ashura?" asked Trista seriously.
"About Thirty Million Galactic Dollars," replied Ashura.
"That cheap?" asked Trista.
"Yes, now do we have an agreement?" asked Ashura.
"Yes, we can meet tomorrow at your building or mine," said Trista.
"Mine, will due, here's the address," said Ashura as he gave her the address. "I'll see you tomorrow afternoon."
"Alright, afterwards, we can catch up on old times," said Trista as she hung up.
"Miss Meioh? Is everything alright?" asked the secretary.
"Yes, everything's fine, take the rest of the day off," said Trista.
The Following Day
Ashura was in a nasty mood at school and had gotten into several fights. They put the boys into the school infirmary and he was told to leave for the day. It was all testified that boys who were in the school infirmary started it, but Ashura finished it. When Ashura arrived home there was Mirai standing in front of his home.
"What do you want Briefs?" asked Ashura angrily.
"I want to know who and what you are," said Mirai.
"I am Ashura Lunar and what I am is none of our damn business!" said Ashura.
"It is if I bring Earth's Special Forces into it," said Mirai.
"You do then they will know the true meaning of pain!" said Ashura as he shoved Mirai aside who grabbed Ashura. "Big mistake boy!"
Mirai was on the ground in extreme pain as Ashura walked into his home. He decided to leave, before he pushed his luck.
"Zulu, when Miss Meioh arrives, send her straight to my office. Also when Kasumi gets home, tell her that I need to see her in my office," said Ashura as he went right up to his office and contacted the Council. "Miss Meioh will be here this afternoon to discuss the specifics of the agreement and whatever else that is relevant."
"Good, we sanction this meeting between you, your sister, Miss Meioh, and one witness," said the council.
"Who is this witness?" asked Ashura.
"He is an Andromian," said the council. "His name is Shindra."
"Very well, good day council," said Ashura politely.

Three Hours Later
When Trista and Kasumi arrived the meeting was under way and within a few hours, it was finished. Trista would purchase Shadow Enterprises at Thirty Million Galactic Dollars, with Ashura and Kasumi no longer apart of the company, but with enough money to purchase some property for themselves.
"So Ashura, how goes life?" asked Trista curiously.
"It was good until I came to this wretched planet," said Ashura as Trista looked a bit mad at him now.
"Exactly what's wrong with this planet? I have lived on this planet for a long time. Yes it has its fault, but so does every other planet," said Trista angrily. "Exactly what race are you apart of and what planet were you born on?"
"You are the first one to ask that question and not be blasted to the next dimension," said Ashura chuckling. "If I told you have to swear that you won't look at me or my sister in disgust or even think about, especially with our races reputation."
"I promise, besides, what kind of friend would I be if I did that?" asked Trista half joking.
"Kasumi and Ashura are not our original names, at least not the names we born with," said Ashura as she stood up and activated a switch that made sure nobody could eavesdrop on the conversation. "My birth name is one I despise, I was born Gohan Son, the son of Goku and Chichi Son."
"My birth name is one we both like, but I have to use my current name as not to arouse suspicion or we could be discovered by those we don't want to be discovered by. I was born to Goku and Chichi Son as well, I am Ashura's twin sister. Our father is a pure blood Saiyan, while our mother is a pure blood human," said Kasumi.
"Saiyan's? I thought you were all extinct," said Trista.
"Kasumi and I are hybrids Trista, only half Saiyan. Our father's birth name was Kakarot and he was sent here to destroy Earth as a child. However he hit his head as a child and forgot all about that, so he protects it instead. But he is an idiot, he has on multiple occasions put the Earth into extreme peril by trying to let his enemies go, when everyone else knows they will turn on him or return to try again. An example would be Frieza of the Changelings, who is now dead. Even Vegeta tried to warn him, that Frieza would come back and would not heed his warnings and mercy," said Ashura.
"Prince Vegeta lives?" asked Trista.
"Yes, he lives, and on this very planet, he has three children, technically only two," said Ashura, leaving Trista even more confused.
"Explain," said Trista as she needed to understand what he was saying.
"Mirai Trunks of the Mirai Timeline. He used a time machine about eleven years ago to come back and warn us of the androids that would destroy the Earth and leave it in ruins. He also warned us of a deadly heart virus that could kill even a Saiyan and gave us the antidote to it," said Ashura as he saw the realization come across her face. "Yes he is the one that is able to get past the Time Gates."
"How did you… how do you know about them?" asked Trista.
"Simple, you talk in your sleep," said Ashura as Trista blushed crimson red from embarrassment and from shock. "How is Mizu doing anyway?"
"Ashura!" snapped Kasumi loud enough to make him jump. "You mated with her!"
"I am not Ashura's mate!" snapped Trista at Kasumi who backed down. "He never marked me and I never returned the mark!"
"Oh, so it was just… okay," said Kasumi letting it drop. "So is Mizu yours and Ashura's daughter or what?"
"As a matter of fact she is Ashura's and mine biological daughter. She is three years old. Though, now I understand why she was born with a tail," said Trista.
"That's good to know, did she receive my presents?" asked Ashura as Trista nodded. "Now before I forged this company, when we were dating Trista, I was an assassin. I was hired to take out people who stood in the way of others, mostly the tyrannical leaders who enslaved people."
"But you did kill others who weren't right?" asked Trista.
"Yeah, but it was always the low life scum. The others were mostly those who abused their mates and offspring for the pleasure of it," said Ashura as Trista nodded in understanding at what he did. "Now, though I don't plan on going back to that, as a matter of fact, one of the reasons I'm here is because it's been too long since the Dead Zone's last weakening. That tells me that he is about to remerge again."
"How do you know about the Dead Zone? Only the most evil and cruel creatures are sent there!" said Trista as she glared at Ashura for answers.
"Garlic Jr., when I was about three years old, he tried to send me into the Dead Zone, instead I sent him in. Then about six years later he remerged from it and nearly released his father Garlic Sr. from his imprisonment. He nearly sent Kami and the rest of his into the Dead Zone, but not after he enslaved the rest of the planet with his Dark Water Mist that turned anybody and anything that breathed it in evil," explained Ashura. "But Kasumi and I, along Piccolo and a human called Krillin were able to destroy the Makyo Star and send Garlic Jr. back into the Dead Zone for a second time."
"Then how do you know he even survived the Dead Zone?" asked Trista curiously.
"He's immortal," said Ashura. "He was able to summon the Eternal Dragon, Shenron and gain immortality."
"I see, so he can't be killed, but have you ever thought of summoning this Eternal Dragon, Shenron to take away his immortality?" asked Trista curiously.
"I knew there was a reason I was attracted you aside from your beauty," said Ashura causing her to blush in embarrassment yet again.
"Thanks," said Trista as she suddenly realized that her old feelings for Ashura had not gone away.
"Shall we get something to eat?" asked Ashura as his and Kasumi's stomachs started growling, which sounded like a very large bear.
"I believe we should, but you might want to control your stomachs," said Trista with a laugh as Ashura and Kasumi both blushed.

Raye's Apartment
Meanwhile Raye was in her room thinking, she couldn't get Ashura out of her head. She knew she has seen him before, but where? That's when it hit her, she had seen him before alright and he had her, but at the time he had just assassinated a public figure that had been running for ruler of the planet. It wasn't until several days later though that it had been discovered that he had imprisoned and abused his family. She had seen Ashura then and now she knew that it wasn't a crush she had on him, but a loathing for him, or at least his chosen profession. She would expose his deepest, darkest secrets to the world and have him exiled from Earth. She had gone out half an hour later to see him, Kasumi, and Trista walking down the street talking with each other. She felt a surge of jealously quell up within her at the sight of him smiling and joking with Trista and not her.
'Wait! When did I become so jealous? How can I feel this way for him after what he did those years ago? Is it possible that I'm in love with him? I have to know if he feels the same way about me!' thought Raye as she formulated a plan to get Ashura all for herself.
