Disclaimer: DBZ and whatever shows up (especially some of Opal's attacks in chapters to come) do NOT belong to me! So don't sue meeeee…. *wails* Opal is mine, so in the words of my older sis Juuhachi-gou: "Rip us off and DIE!"

Opal: Exacticly. Besides, I recently got swearing lessons after falling into the South Park universe. Getting your ears, eyebrows, and any other body hair burned off by profanity is painful.

Author's note: A biiiiiiiig thank you to my friends: Myuusa, Lugia-kun, Andreas (go little sis, the Queen of dis! BWAHAHA!), Kasey, Jerono, Kudo, Green Bean AKA Flute, Jeremiah-me, and the eternally paranoid one. He's joined FBI's Witness Protection Program, so he shall be known as Mr. Pretty Pink Bow.

And of course...

Uji-gami no Trunks! Daisuke, ashke! Hehehe…

And now, on with the show!

There is never just black or white; there are only all the…

Shades of Gray

Chapter One: Black

***T***

Trunks glared at the two jinzouningen, the devilish duo who had destroyed his life.

He had come along way since he had last fought them in this time line; he was a lot stronger.

Gohan's soul would finally be at rest.

"You die NOW, jinzouningen."

Juunana-gou smirked. "Yeah, right. That's the umpteenth time you've said that. It hasn't happened yet. And besides, even if you manage to beat us this time, we have… a new recruit."

With that, he turned and called over his shoulder.

"OI! Seikimatsu! Do you want to meet our favorite plaything, or not?"

He paused a minute.

And then…

FWOOSH!

Something came hurtling up from a dead building, then zipped over to Juunana-gou and Juuhachi-gou.

It was a girl. She had Juunana-gou's face and his black hair, but her eyes and body were that of Juuhachi-gou. A single bit of spiked bangs, buzz-saw shaped, hung over the right side of her face.

"Meet our younger sister, Jinzouningen Seikimatsu. It means, omega. Or end," Juuhachi-gou smiled. "Specifically, your end."

Trunks growled.

"We'll see about that. EyAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!"

***O***

Opal sighed and looked out the window. She was too busy to do her homework; she HAD to figure out a way to make a good fanfic about her and the almighty Purple Haired One or else she'd never get any rest.

Not that I'd get any rest anyway; all these threats of nuclear war are starting to get to me… And those dreams aren't helping, either.

Opal had had dreams lately: of space, of dying, of explosions… And of eyes.

Deep blue and ice blue eyes that stared at her and never stopped.

Ack. I feel like I'm in the Spirits Within or something…

Fwah. At this rate, I'll never get ANYTHING done!

And that's when she felt it. A low rumble, like that of an airplane.

Or a… no. No, it couldn't be…!

And then the nuke landed.

***

Unhh… NANI! WHAT HAPPENED!

Opal sat up and winced; she had a pounding headache.

Then she looked down.

"WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL?!?!?!?"

She was in a crater. An impossibly BIG crater.

But that wasn't why she had yelled.

It was her.

Long black hair grew down past her waist; a large, spiky portion of it fell into her eyes. Her body was different; more slim and strong than it had ever been while she lived.

While I lived… Am I dead? A reincarnation in someone else's body, because Fate needed me alive?

Then she realized why she looked so familiar.

This body… the buzz-saw bangs… Could I be living on as my alter ego, in another dimension?

She stood up slowly and looked around.

Two things caught her eye: a blue vest, with two red conjoined triangles on it, and a red bandanna.

Whoa… its like the beginning of Walk this World, or something…

Well, that gives me a clue.

I have to find Capsule Corp. Then I'll see what happens.

***

Opal wandered for a while, muttering to herself. Despite the several shocks handed to her, she was slipping quite quickly into her old behavior: Talking to herself and daydreaming.

"Fwah… I wonder if I'm as 'famous' as the other jinzouningen? I hope not… Someone might recognize me… And then…"

She didn't have to have a vivid imagination to know what would happen. They'd call Trunks, he'd come running (flying?), and she'd die.

Again.

"Lovely… just lovely. Maybe I should take the WTW advice and print out the 'Good Little Jinzouningen' business cards. Is there any chance I'll survive long enough to at least morn for my parents, my friends?! Goshicles!"

She sighed.

"Maybe I should try to use some of my powers. After all, I am Android Omega now. She should at least know how to fly… I better hide first though. I don't wanna get caught."

Opal ran quickly into a cave she spotted quickly. It was a ruined area, and she was pretty sure no one'd be around.

"Alrighty then. Let's try this, and see if it works the way I imagined…"

She exhaled slowly, relaxing herself and managing to stay somewhat tense at the same time.

"Feel the pull of the energy lift you…"

Opal jumped, and spun around, hissing.

"Let it hold you up…"

Opal looked around nervously, looking for the source of that horrible, computer generated version of Gero's voice. It continued droning on while she looked, until she found the speaker and promptly punched it in.

The speaker exploded and needless to say, the voice stopped.

"Thank Kami-sama…" she said, sweating. She knew where she was now.

Hell on earth, and the very last place she wanted to be.

Doctor Gero's Lab.

"Perfect. Just PERFECT! I end up looking for a hidey-hole and boy, did I sure find it…"

She sat down, shaking, until she regained her calm. Then she looked around.

"Might as well raid the place… after all, no ones using it…"

She got up, still shaking, and began hunting through the various crap for a map.

"Gotcha!"

She looked at it. It was dilapidated and would probably fall to pieces the second she let go of it, but at least she had a general idea of where to go now.

"Thank You Kami-sama! I am OUT of here!" she said, then ran out the 'Hole Formerly Known as Door', before her newfound claustrophobia killed her.

"Funny. I was never claustrophobic before… Aww, who cares? I sure don't and no one else is listening…"

Her face grew serious, and she turned to look at the setting sun.

"Damn. It's getting late… I better find somewhere to stay before I'm forced to sleep in there…Yuck."

She glanced around and saw a small settlement, to her surprise.

"Why'd anyone want to live out here? Stupid, if you ask me… but maybe I'll have a place to sleep tonight. As long as they don't recognize me as jinzouningen, I'm fine."

She headed toward the glow of the houses.
