New Arrival
Chapter One
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Dragonball Z or any of their characters. The only character I own is Matrix.
A small ship approached the small blue planet. A woman sat in the pod and stared at this small planet. She had traveled very far to come here.
So, she thought, This is his new home. This small planet. It was blue.
Her ship began to enter Earth's atmosphere. Everything around the ship glowed orange from the heat of her entering the planet's atmosphere. It crashed in a forested area, breaking down several trees in the process. The ship's door opened and the femme stepped out and surveyed her surroundings. She used her scouter to search for his ki and then headed off in his direction.
She would find him and see him finally.
Meanwhile, the green Namek sat hovering above a rock meditating. He felt a new presence that wasn't familiar to him. All the same it was very powerful. Suddenly, he saw a part of the sky seemingly catch fire. Immediately he stood up and took flight to where he saw the light disappear.
He wanted to at least see the size of the ship before he went hunting for whoever was in it. He found the ship in a forest with several trees down around it. The ship had snapped them in half…like a twig. It was a pod like the sayains and Frieza's men had. He quickly followed the ki before it found trouble.
He was led to a small forest and to a river. Piccolo scanned around when a beep alerted him in the nearby brush; he quickly turned and when he did he noticed the ki. The Namek fired a blast at a tree causing a female to retreat from the tree, so he fired another blast at her. The warrior quickly dodged with no counter. Piccolo pursued her for hand to hand combat. He couldn't quite make out her form since she used the forest as an advantage. Suddenly, out of nowhere she swung down from a tree branch and nailed him in the chest. It was then he realized that she was a sayain. She was short and probably no taller than Vegeta. Her hair was brown and wild. It flowed down to her lower back.Her skin was bronzed and she rippled with muscle but not to the point where she still didn't look feminine. The Namek hit the ground and before he got up she was over him.
"I don't need any trouble." She said before hitting a pressure point knocking him out. Interesting…what's a Namekian doing on Earth? Oh well, I'll ask him once I find him.
She took flight once more leaving the unconscious Namekian behind. The femme flew over a large city searching for the origin of the ki and its owner. She found a large building that was dome shaped. Her scouter picked up a smaller ki as well.
Only a sayain child would come up on this. she noted to herself going to that location instead.
She found an open window and flew in. The femme found an infant crying in his crib. She could immediately tell by his features who his father was. There was no doubt in her mind that his father was Vegeta. She picked up the infant and soothed his crying.
Meanwhile, Bulma was downstairs in the kitchen getting a bottle ready. She could hear Trunks crying on the baby monitor and then suddenly his cries ceased. It was too quiet for Bulma. There was something wrong. She promptly stopped what she was doing and ran upstairs to her son's room. Bulma threw open the door to find a well muscled woman will long brunette hair. She was clad in all brown. She wore a tank top that exposed her muscled stomach. She wore knee high flat boots that went over her leather pants.
That's when Bulma noticed it—her tail! She was a sayain! That was impossible! Goku, Vegeta, Raditz and Napa were the only four survivors. She looked too old to be one of their offspring.
"Who are you?" Bulma demanded before quickly adding, "Nevermind, give me my son."
The woman smiled and avoided Bulma's question and demand. "Where is his father?"
"Right here." Vegeta said from behind her.
She turned to face him, her brown eyes meeting his black ones. Vegeta's eyes widened.
"M-Matrix?" he breathed.
She nodded and walked over to Bulma handing the worried mother her son.
Matrix didn't know how to act towards him. It had been so long since she had seen him.
"I thought you were dead." She said barely above a whisper.
"Vegeta, who is this?" Bulma asked cradling Trunks.
Bulma's voice snapped Vegeta out of his trance and he looked at his mate. "This is Matrix. She's a sayain that was, like me, under Frieza and the Cold Family."
"But I thought you said only four of you survived? You said only you, Goku, Raditz, and Napa survived Frieza's destruction." Bulma inquired.
"You misunderstood." Vegeta said. "We were the only four males to survive and I thought Frieza had killed her."
Matrix interrupted the two. "Perhaps it would be best if I left you two for now. It seems you two have things to discuss. Come find me when you're ready." She said before taking flight out of the window.
Bulma watched her leave before turning to Vegeta again. "Well?" she inquired.
"Matrix was found by Queen Cold in space after Vegetasei's destruction. I didn't meet her until many years after she was found. Queen Cold made her conquer planets like Frieza had the three of us do. We became good friends. She wasn't a subordinate like Napa or Raditz were. She wouldn't submit to that.
She was on a mission when I left for Earth to find Kakarott. She was waiting for me when I returned and was there to see me off when I left to hunt the dragonballs on Namek.
When she didn't come looking for me I assumed the Cold Family had killed her because of Frieze's supposed death on Namek. And that's all there is to tell." Vegeta finished.
Bulma eyed him. Vegeta never easily revealed things unless he was dying or going to be killed in battle. She would let it slide for now.
"Go then. Go meet her and catch up on old times. I'm going to call the others and tell them about her." Bulma said.
Vegeta without hesitation, leaped out the window to find his old friend. Bulma suspicions were right, though she didn't really know it. Matrix was Vegeta's past lover.
Vegeta found Matrix in the wild. She stood at the base of a waterfall watching the fish swim around in the clear water. He landed next to her.
He smiled slightly noticing that she still used a scouter. He unlatched it from her head and smashed it. She turned to him watching him smash a creation of the Cold Family.
"You don't need this anymore. Even I don't use that." He said breaking the ice.
"Vegeta…I-I thought that you were killed by Frieza." Matrix said emotions running wild.
In a shocking move, Vegeta embraced her. Matrix didn't move and barely dared to breathe. She knew that Vegeta rarely ever showed affection.
He finally released her and holding two shoulders looked into her eyes. "What happened to you?"
