AN: Taaadaaa. Here it is. :) I worked all night on this chapter for the story to unfold and it might take a while before the two actually meet and for things to develop but I'll save that for the later chapter. Whew, so much typing...

Well, enjoy! Leave a review please! I love to hear ideas:3 Tell me if you like it...or not. :(


Chapter 1. Alternate Illusion

In the world opposite to the living stood a pudgy, blue, bug man with round dark glasses had pondered over something that encountered the living world and shot out through space in the speed of light.

"Hmm... How strange. I thought I seen something..." He rubbed his head for a moment, unsure what it meant when Ayane appeared behind him. "King Kai, we have a problem,"

Her arrival startled him, making him jump for a moment and glanced behind him. He fixed his glasses, straightening them out once more. "Whew, it's you..." he stated calmly and let the thought process that Ayane was here and saying something was wrong. It clicked and his mouth widened, as he seemed to grow stiff as his body lifted into the air. "ITS YOU!" He waved his arms and legs about but landed and looked at her seriously. "Does the problem have to do anything with the light that busted through space?!"

Ayane folded her arms, firm and very serious and not to mention pissed beyond any other being. "Yes."

"I knew something was wrong..." King Kai spoke to himself and rubbed his chin. "What was the light?"

"Nothing to do with a 'what' but with a 'whom'." Ayane stated and glanced into a round ball that reflected life on Earth. The face of Goku appeared, mocking the very face that was familiar to her from many years ago.

'It must be Barkdock's son. Looks like him.' she thought to herself and looked at the King again. "It's the offspring of Siren. It was an accident and a portal opened,''

"Hmm..if it's the offspring of Siren then there's no doubt that there will be trouble,"

Ayane shook her head, "Aura's different than Siren. She isn't the same cold bitch like Siren was, I don't think Aura is anything like her at all,"

King Kai looked puzzled, "And you didn't open the portal?"

"No. I'm starting to think that Aura is something different and not the recreation of Siren...and I fear for time itself..."

"What's the matter with time?" The King felt suspicious about Aura's power. Ayane turned away from him.

"When she opened the portal, she was in the process of reversing her power to the way things used to be,"

King Kai stood there for a moment. "Yes...time itself is going to be altered when the girl hits the planet. The entire history will be erased and something new with be created."

Ayane sighed and started to walk away from the king. "Now you know this warning. She's innocent so don't expect anything bad from her."

King Kai pondered in the ball that reflected Earth. "I'm more worried about how far she will take history. The Earthling's had come so desperately far to overcome powerful enemies. I just hope her existence doesn't change those events."

Ayane stopped, "You mentioned Earth...you know she is headed there?" The Kai nodded to himself and towards Ayane, staring closely at Earth and seeing the light head for the planet. The light echoed throughout space and those who had died on Earth returned to the living but had no memory on what happened and continued onto their pursuits that they started that many years ago.

Raditz's hair fluttered in the wind as Goku and Piccolo landed on the soft patch of grass, their objective was to stop the intruder. Raditz smirked at his brother, seeing his weak energy level through the scouter. Goku's energy level differed from his brother, making Raditz confident that he was superior and didn't even consider Piccolo a threat.

"Kakkorot do you plan to meet your demise?" He chuckled towards his brother, his massive arms crossed over his chest. His cocky smile grew bigger as the wind blew harder against him.

The trio began fighting, Goku and Piccolo lunging at the enemy and throwing punches quickly but dodged and blocked. Goku leaped into the air, a look of battle in his eyes as he kicked at Raditz, dodging once more. Both Goku and Raditz disappeared from sight, following with Piccolo and attacked at Raditz. The armored man continued to dodge the two, grinning at his power.

Raditz's face was in sight for a moment, smirking deadly at the two and disappeared. He emerged within the field with his back towards them, waiting for them to charge at him. He huffed a chuckle and waited for the precise moment as he back kicked the two in the face. He heard the bustling of the wind as Goku and Piccolo soared through across the field. As both of them landed on their feet, both of them caught sight of Raditz who was flying up in the sky.

Piccolo and Goku couldn't give up on their pursuit and flew up into the sky after Raditz. Raditz watched them race after him, checking his green scouter for a moment and turning his body up right. The Saiyen clenched his fist for an attack as he waited for them to get closer to him.

He smirked, as both of them were a couple feet from him, his palms hot and moist as the ki was rising to the surface and was ready.

"Both of you will die now..." the glow was starting to appear when a dash of white light zoomed right across Goku and Piccolo's body. Both of them dodged just barely, glancing surprised at the interference that crashed into the ground in front of them.

Goku's actions were put on hold and landed on the ground as looked curiously at the ground. A cloud of smoke hid the creature away but when it subsided, a girl had landed on her feet. Hot steam gashed off of her body, exhausted and panting hard with her back turned to them. Her blonde hair was messy and her hair clouded over her shoulders. Her legs wobbled as her partly nude body was covered by the white small dress she wore. She hadn't noticed them as each of them stopped in their attacks, even Raditz who looked at her with his wide, dark eyes. He seemed confused to who could crash down at the speed of light and remain standing as she did. All three thought she was some type of alien who had the look of a human just like Saiyen's do.

Goku was the first to talk to her, seeming concerned for her. "Are you okay?"

She reacted and turned towards the man quickly, confused and a little startled. Her blue eyes seemed to pierce through Goku, making him stop in his place.

"Kakkorot!" Raditz snarled out his brother's name, his white teeth gritting down on the bottom of his teeth. His sharp fangs glistened and sent a wave of Saturday Crush towards him and the purplish pink beam slammed down towards Goku.

"Look out!" The girl leaped out and pushed Goku right of the way, looking towards the beam and placed her arms in front of her face defensively.

The beams crumbled into dust as purple sparks flew across the girl's arm and made her flinch, tickling her skin. She didn't even think that she blocked such an attack, especially from someone who looked at her with screaming black pupils. Raditz was furious.

"Uhh..." The girl didn't know what to say to them. She just involved herself in a fight that she really didn't want to be a part of.

Goku looked at her and then up at Raditz who landed on the ground. His fists were clenched, gripping onto the flesh with his fingernails. "Who do you think you are? Interrupting our fight like that. Pft, Kakkorot is she one of your helpless human friends?" He smirked once more, "Fine, I'll kill you just like I was about to kill these two,"

Goku glared towards his claimed brother. "No! She isn't with us. Don't harm her, she's done nothing!"

"Then why defend her?"

Goku charged at his brother, "Cause you don't need a reason to help someone!"

Raditz blocked his brother's attack, grabbing his knuckles and bending them down as Goku yelped in pain. The timing wasn't right, as Piccolo had got behind Raditz and shot his Tri-beam attack to kill Raditz and Goku. With the change of fate, Raditz jumped in the air. He dodged the attack but his brother wasn't so fortunate who fell to the ground, a hole through his chest.

The girl lifted her hands and covered her mouth, grasping, as Goku's life seemed to end.

"Piccolo...help Gohan...please..."

Raditz chuckled and glanced behind at Piccolo who looked semi-defeated.

"It's seems like you 'missed' me and killed your partner. How pathetic," Raditz stated, fueling the anger to Piccolo. The green man seemed enraged by the comment and attacked Raditz.

The girl stood there, wondering within herself if she should do something to help. She stared down at the fallen Goku whose eyes stared emotionless at the grass and clothes stained with blood. 'Gohan...this man wanted to save someone...and that another guy doesn't look friendly in any way...so maybe...' she continued with her thoughts and came to a decision.

She concentrated and pictured Raditz being completely still, stuck in an invisible frozen grasp to stop him. Her thoughts became reality as Raditz frozen, unable to move his arms or legs.

"What the hell?!" He looked over his armor shoulder and towards the girl. "Release me!" The girl glared at Raditz, taking Piccolo's side in the battle.

"Knock him out and save Gohan!"

Piccolo's eyes narrowed towards her, still standing his stance as sweat dripped from his green figure. "And why should I listen to you?"

"Because," she looked at him sternly, "That guy asked you to. It'd be respectful towards his death to save Gohan. You should just save whoever Gohan is.''

With one sincere look, Piccolo rushed towards Raditz and punched him directly in the gut.

Raditz screamed out, his padded armor broke and fell to pieces on the ground. With one punch, the dark headed Saiyen fell limb and shut his eyes though remained stuck in the air from the girl's paralyzing trick but released him as soon as she believed he was done for. The large body of a Saiyen fell helpless to the ground with a thud.

"Now that he's out of the picture, I'll deal with you." Piccolo continued to remain in his fighting stance, his eyes tough and fierce. He was ready for more though his body and clothes were worn and cut.

"Believe me, you can trust me. I'm not here to cause any harm..''

"I don't need to trust someone like you!" Piccolo yelled at her, his sharp fangs clenching down angrily even more as a loud cry was heard from behind. A little boy was crying over the corpse of Goku.

"Daddy!" he sopped, his little hat falling to the ground and his tail lowering along with it. Piccolo turned around and stood up straight.

"Guess the little kid busted out himself." Piccolo stated and turned back towards the girl. "Fine, I'll help Gohan out but that still won't erase my suspension of you. Landing out of the air like that, you're definitely not human,"

The girl looked sympathetic towards little Gohan. "I don't know what a human is so it's clear that I'm not one."

"Then what are you?"

"Well, my name is Aura...and I really don't know what I am." The girl stated, tucking her hair back behind her ear and looking towards Gohan once more.

Piccolo growled and picked Gohan up by his clothes. "Fine, but I still don't trust you. You look to much like one,"

Suddenly, the wind picked up massively and a machine was coming closer to them. Piccolo's bitterness continued, "Damn, it's those humans."

Aura looked towards the sky a bit nervous. "Humans?" her hands lifted to her lips, unsure how to react in this strange world.

The machined lowered into the ground, dust and grass flying around peacefully as a blue-headed girl popped out of the machine. Her hair was boy short; her face was rather pretty and had a slimming figure. Aura couldn't help but to like her from when she first looked at her. She smiled, the girl looked friendly and seeing a human reminded her of her sister's back home. Though, Aura wasn't missing it.

The girl raced out, worried for her friends and the little boy. She grasped the crying Gohan out of the hands of Piccolo and glared at him with such narrow eyes.

"Where is Goku?"

Piccolo glared right back at her, not amused towards the girl. "Over there." The girl's eyes wondered towards the ground and seen Raditz and Goku. She gasped as Gohan kept on crying and waving his arms about in the women's arms. "Oh no…not him.." she looked down at Gohan sadly and whispered something. Her large blue eyes caught onto the presence of Aura and looked at her fully.

"Who...are you?"

She blinked, not thinking she was going to be so blunt. "I'm...Aura..."

Piccolo spoke out loud once more, bitterly. "Before you start human girl, this girl helped your damned friend. She's not in the same category as me, so don't placed in there," he glared at both of them before he flew off.

The girl looked towards Aura once more. "I guess I can trust you if you helped Goku..."

Aura nodded her head towards the girl. "I hope you can. I'm in the need for such trusting."

"Trusting?"

"Yes. I'm not from around here,"

"Oh...well, I guess you can come with me. I'm Bulma," she glanced towards Raditz and Goku again. "Are they dead?"

Aura looked a little discouraged at the question. "The one with the armor isn't. He's unconscious for the moment but your friend..."

"I see...well I'm not sure what to do with that guy but I can't just leave him. He'll wake up and there's a chance that he'll come back for revenge. He was after Goku in the beginning..."

"Maybe we should take him with us?" Aura stated casually, thinking about the thought and how it could work. Bulma looked at her angrily. "We can't do that! What if he wakes up and kills us both!?"

Aura folded her arms, still thinking about the situation. "Well, I mean, you were friends with powerful people...what if we took him and helped him out. He might change his mind and help you guys just like Goku and that green man was doing. I don't like the thought of killing someone…"

Bulma looked at the girl, noticing she was strange for not being afraid of such men that could destroy their world and everything in it. "I see your point and since Goku's gone, well. You know, if things get out of hand, be ready for people to take the blame on you for letting him live though."

Aura nodded sincerely. "Sure but for that, I hope he changes..."

"Yeah, me too. And we can wish Goku back with the Dragon Balls. It shouldn't be that bad. Hopefully." Bulma said as Gohan had silenced though his eyes were red from crying.

"Common, let's go…" Bulma stated softly.

Aura was shown into her room, the bed soft and white just like her dress. Her room was plain and close to the infirmary where Raditz was resting. She laid down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling with thoughts that troubled her about things she never thought she would encounter. She was powerful; able to send her coursing through worlds, blocking a powerful attack and paralyzing with the stream of bitter cold...everything she learned in the past years were changing. She was changing and she felt the true power mark within her, awakening from a dream that sent her spinning. Aura had reasonability's now; in the care of the enemy with the name of Raditz and it was up to her change his being to become one of the Z fighters. That was what Goku was like, powerful and promised to protect Earth.

In the middle of her dilemma, Bulma walked in with a fresh pair of clothes. She smiled towards Aura, who sat up in the bed. "I gotcha some clothes to wear instead of your torn up ones. Oh, the shower's free if you wanna use it." Bulma handed the garments to Aura who smiled at Bulma. "Thank you."

"No problem. I'm, like, in love with fashion and clothes so if you need any help with what to wear, you can ask me!'' She winked sweetly towards her friend. "Omg! We could totally go shopping! Wouldn't that be just fun?" Bulma's eyes twinkled with the stars and danced around the room. After she was done making a fool of herself, she stopped. "Anyway,"

The mood was discarded when there was hysterical crying heard from down stairs. Bulma frowned and Aura tilted her head, "What is it?"

"Goku's wife Chi Chi is downstairs...she came over to get Gohan. She might have just heard the news about Goku…"

"I thought we were going to bring him back though?" Aura said, hoping that was true. She would of felt terrible if it just ended like that for Goku even though death was normal in the cycle of life.

"We are but it could still hurt to know that someone you love is dead and embraced that pain..." Bulma seemed stricken sadly by her own statement about death. She bit her lip and turned her back on Aura, heading out of the room. "Make yourself at home, Aura. It's a big house for plenty..." and with that she left.

Aura sighed and looked down at the clothes. "Oh boy. I guess I'll take a shower...um, heh..." she glanced around the room and seen a door. She approached it as it slid open automatically and tried to figure out the shower.

After she cleaned herself up, she dressed herself and sat on the bed. Aura stared out the window and noticed that the sun was heading down over the horizon. 'This world is much different from my own...even though, it's nearly the same with the features of the grass and the air...I wonder what Ayane is doing without me...everyone is probably considering me a failure just like...' She shook her head, refusing to get negative at this point in time.

''I can't think like that. I'm not like her, getting here was an accident and I have priorities here,'' Aura nodded to herself and begun to accept this fate. "Speaking of which...I should go check on him. Just in case that guy wakes…"

Once Aura walked right into the infirmary, Fate's game was beginning to spin as Aura approached the bed where Raditz rested. His armor was completely removed, showing parts of his body that was wrapped in bandages from his fights with Goku and Piccolo the light blood was seeping through.

Aura's body lingered over the Saiyen who rested and waited for her to come closer. Once he sensed her next to him, he jolted up and grabbed her wrist tightly. Aura yelped in pain, Raditz's massive palm squeezing her smooth skin. He stood, taller than the girl whose blue eyes cringed in pain at her attacker. He smirked at her and slouched over to be at her level.

"Not so tough now are you, little girl?" Raditz's chuckled darkly at his hostage. Aura's teeth gritted together and pulled her arm away from him, though he didn't let her go.

"Release me!"

He shook his head, "Doesn't feel very good to be held against one's wishes, does it?" Raditz looked around the infirmary, " And yet, I'm being kept in this damned human place..."

Aura's sea blue eyes glistened in pain, changing into a crystal ice that resembled something that Raditz couldn't look away from. The mockery returned to him as his eyes widened. "No...no...can't be..." He pulled his face away and released her. He stumbled back and sat down on the bed, staring at her with fear.

Rubbing her wrist, Aura looked at the Saiyen confused and a little worried for his reaction. "Are you...okay?"

"You look like that wicked..."

"That wicked?'' Aura stared at him puzzled.

Raditz's tough exterior surfaced once more, looking at her dully. "Never mind that. What did you come down here for girl? Better yet, keeping me alive. I'd figure I would be dead by now," He relaxed his arms down on his knees, his stomach muscles exposed along with the bandages and the only solid pair of extremely ''shorts'' he came to Earth in. Even with his mighty armor removed he still looked dangerous with his giant figure and his messy jet-black hair but his bored expression defeated his the sense of danger about him.

Aura sighed, exhausted from this eventful day. "Actually, I kept you alive for a couple of reasons," she stated bluntly and pulled up a chair. Aura wasn't afraid of this giant of a man, knowing she could handle him if it came down it that.

Raditz's raised his eyebrow, "Oh? And what's that for?"

"Well, actually, since you're at a fault here I decided for you to live to protect this planet just like your brother,"

Raditz's eye twitched and was silent for a moment. He looked baffled that she would even mention something like that to him, especially to protect this planet. He folded his buff arms and simply stated, "No.''

"I figured you say that." Aura stated and sighed, "I didn't want to put it like this but you have to. We, well, I am your superior."

He laughed at her remark. "My superior?! Gah! Listen girly, I could break you in half if I wanted to. Hardly could you be-"

She felt the urge to interrupt him, "Then why didn't you when we met before? You had the perfect chance.'' Aura didn't like to be stern, to be blunt with such seriousness but she had reasons. She defeated him down with her eyes, making him lower down again. He spoke softer but still firm and stiffly.

"You can't be my superior. There are two other Saiyen's like me who are on they're way here and will arrive in a year. Both are completely stronger than me, so girl, there's no way you could be my superior. I'm not going to betray them either." He stated sternly.

"The Dragon Balls...they will summon your brother back and he will defend this planet...either you sit here and watch or you fight together with your blood." Aura tried to use her tactics on him, hoping they would work.

"Listen, I'm not going to betray my own kind. My brother had his chance to join with us again but refused," Raditz's expression remained stern once more and looked towards the wall. He avoided looking at her.

"Your brother was defending something he cared for. He grew attached to Earth, right?"

She was feeding off what Bulma had informed her all that she discovered about Raditz. "I haven't even been here for 24 hours and I'm already growing attached to this planet." She sighed once more; "Maybe you should look at it this way..." Aura's voice grew soft once more. "Maybe if something threatened your home, wouldn't you want to defend it from it being destroyed? This is Goku's home and he's defending it from any threats that may cross it."

As she was speaking to him, his eyes widened as he remembered what happened to his home planet that was destroyed. He knew how that felt and the connection was beginning to click but he shook his head. He wouldn't let humans corrupt his mind.

"Anyway, I'm going to bed. I'm tired." She lifted herself up from the chair. "We'll continue this in the morning. I think I'm really talking to myself so better leave while I'm awake. You might want to sleep too; it'd do you good. Remember, we are treating you nicely, don't harm our kindness..." With that she left the infirmary. Standing outside the hallway, she stopped herself. ''I should tell Bulma about the Saiyen's..." and as Aura left to search for Bulma to tell her the news, outside the Corp; a green man's white cape flew in the wind. He heard the whole thing and flew off into the distance.
