Chapter 6
"What do you suppose is happening in there?"
Goku and Piccolo gazed at the entrance to the time chamber. The namek grunted, crossing his arms before walking to the edge of Dende's lookout. Goku walked over a moment later, yapping away.
"I bet they're hitting it off! Man! What if Marie does come out with a baby? Wouldn't that be wild! I wander how strong they each will be. I can't wait for them to exit. I would love to-"
"Quiet!" Piccolo gritted his teeth, trying to get a sense of the power spike he felt a minute ago. Goku fell silent behind him. They both turned in surprise when they felt two energies emerging.
"I guess they're finished," Piccolo stated quietly. They moved closer, watching as a crack of light shined through as the door slowly opened, stopping for a moment, then swinging slowly out. A foot appeared, trailing up as the figure stepped closer to the entrance, the tattered remains of the blue training suit fluttering as they moved. The outline of a person's face appeared, slowly coming into focus as Vegeta stepped outside the chamber.
"Wow Vegeta! You seem much stronger! That training seemed to do you good, I bet-" Goku stopped talking. They all turned to face the door as another person stepped out, the suit in the same state as Vegeta's, hair swinging down her back, stopping just past her hips. Marie stepped out, a grim expression on her face.
Piccolo started. That's the energy spike I felt! What the hell!?
Both saiyans were silent. Vegeta kept his back to her, while Goku openly stared. "Wow," he breathed, then gave a short laugh. "You've gotten so much stronger! That is awesome!" Marie didn't say anything. A tense silence passed between them, before Marie stepped forward. She stopped even with Vegeta.
"I gotta go," she stated softly, shooting a glance at Vegeta, frowning, before blasting off.
"Hey!" Goku shouted, watching as she disappeared out of sight.
"Leave her be." They both turned towards Vegeta. He stood there for a moment, glaring at them, before he too blasted off.
Piccolo and Goku were silent for a moment. "What the hell was that about!?" the saiyan asked, turning to look at the namekian fighter.
"I don't know Goku," Piccolo said softly. But I intend to find out!
