Chapter 8
They came and saw everyone was busy. Emiko decided to walk around a bit and Pan went to ask if anyone needed help. Emiko ended up in the yard where she looked around and went to sit on the grass. She crossed her legs and closed her eyes feeling the light wind brush through her hair.
"You look just like your mother" Someone said and Emiko opened her eyes to see Goku standing there. "She used to go sit somewhere and meditate. So what's bothering you?" he asked and Emiko raised an eyebrow. "Why do you ask?" She asked. "Well I can see something's troubling you so why not?" He asked and Emiko looked down.
"I'm still trying to figure out what happened, why my mom brought me here and why did she disappear." Emiko said and Goku patted her shoulder. "I'm sure for whatever reason she brought you here was for your safety." He said and Emiko nodded. "Yeah you're probably right" She said and Goku smiled at her.
They saw Pan walk out of the building furious about something and walked away. Why do people treat me like a child?! I'm just as grown up as them! She heard Pan think and shook her head. "Wonder what's wrong with Pan" Goku said. "She hates the fact that people treat her like a child." Emiko said and stood up.
"She just needs to blow of some steam" Emiko said and Goku nodded. "We just don't want her to get hurt" He said and Emiko looked at him. "That's probably so but there's no need to treat her like a child anymore. Let her do her own things and let her make her own mistakes where she can learn from." Emiko said and Goku just stared at her.
He smiled, "You know you're very wise for someone your age." He said and Emiko smiled. "My mom used to say that too. She was scared that I would grow up to fast but you can't really prevent that" She said and Goku nodded.
He smirked and looked at Emiko. "You wanna spar?" he asked and caught her off guard. "Uh sure" She said unsure. Goku flew his distance and took his stance. Emiko took her stance. "You ready?" He asked and Emiko nodded. As I'll ever be. She thought.
Goku charged at her and Emiko blocked his attacks as they came. Goku smiled all the way and Emiko's lips curled up into a smirk. Goku increased his power and Emiko did the same. They landed catching their breath. "Your fighting skills are impressive. It's unique, not like your mother's at all." He said. "Same to you Goku" She said and he laughed lightly.
He flew up and started a blast. "KA…ME" Emiko's eyes widen as a vision came through.
She was in a desert area and there were canyons. She saw Goku and saw his body was in bad condition. "Say goodbye to your planet Kakkarot!" She looked up and saw Vegeta. His hair was in a flame and he had strange armor on.
"Oh no! If he fires that blast the Earth is done for" She heard Goku say. "There's only one way. KAIOKEN TIMES 3!" he yelled and red light surrounded him. "KA…ME…HA…ME…"He said as he put his hands together and Vegeta yelled. "GALLICK GUN!" while firing a purple blast. "HA!" Goku yelled and countered Vegeta's attack.
Emiko came back to reality and instinctively started to charge the same blast as Goku. "KA…ME...HA…ME" She said. "HA!" They yelled and fired the blast at each other. Emiko felt Goku's attack over power her out of nowhere energy flew through her and she pushed in the attack overpowering Goku's easily. The attack was sent into the sky where it exploded.
Emiko looked at the sky in disbelief. How did I do that? She asked herself as Goku walked towards her. "Wow, I'm glad your mom learned you that" He said and Emiko looked at him. "She didn't" Emiko whispered but luckily Goku didn't hear her. "Thanks for the spar, I think Bulma's done by now" Goku said and walked towards the garage. Emiko just stared at her hands. She slowly walked back at the garage while staring at her hands.
When Emiko came in and she heard Bulma's voice. "All systems are go for launch" Emiko looked around and walked over to the railing. She looked down to see Goku, Goten and a handsome purple haired teenager stand in front of the ship. That must be Trunks. Emiko thought. "GOKU! KEEP THOSE 2 BOYS OUT OF TROUBLE!" Chi-Chi yelled and Goku waved at her.
"Don't worry Chi-Chi, I will!" He said. "Gohan sweetie have you seen Pan?" Videl asked Gohan and Emiko turned around. "Yeah I think I saw her with Bulla" He said. "No Bulla's standing right there next to Vegeta" Videl said and they looked at each other. They looked at Emiko. "Have you seen her?"
Emiko shook her head. "No, I didn't see her when she came back" She said. Gohan and Videl looked at each other worried. Emiko quickly turned to the ship. Her ki's inside. Emiko thought as soon as that thought was finished the ship blasted of and Emiko had to cover her eyes. When the smoke cleared Emiko opened her eyes again and the space ship was gone.
Be safe Pan. Emiko turned to Gohan and Videl. "She was on that ship wasn't she?" Videl asked Emiko and she nodded. "I felt her on it" Emiko said and they sighed. "At least my dad's there" Gohan said and Videl nodded. They were still worried but Emiko knew Pan would be safe.
"So Emiko, where do you stay?" Chi-Chi asked as she walked towards her. "Well I stayed at the lookout" She said. "You can stay here with us if you'd like" Gohan offered and Emiko smiled softly. "I'd like to thank you" She said and they nodded. "Hey where's Bulma?" Videl asked.
"My mom went to check something out" Bulla said as she came to stand next to Emiko. "So you want to hang out?" She asked Emiko and she nodded. "Sure" Emiko said. "Just be home by dinner" Chi-Chi said. "I will" Emiko said and walked away with Bulla. "She's so different from Asha" Videl said and they nodded.
"So what do you want to do?" Emiko asked and Bulla smirked. "We could go shopping. Besides I don't think you have any clothes do you?" Bulla asked and Emiko shook her head. "Alright! Then it's settled let me just go ask my mom." Bulla said and walked away leaving Emiko alone in the living room.
"Where the little Woman?" A moment of silence passed before Emiko heard a gruff voice speak from behind . She turned around and saw Vegeta standing there. "She went to ask Bulma something" Emiko said and saw him grunt. "You're Asha's daughter am I correct?" Vegeta asked and Emiko nodded. "Meet me in the GR later, I want to see you're potential" He said and walked out. Well he's bossy. She thought with a confused brow.
Bulla passed him coming into the room. "What was that about?"She asked. "Your dad said to meet him in the GR later" Emiko said and Bulla's eyes widen. "And you agreed to that?" Bulla asked. "Well he didn't ask me, he just ordered. But I know he trained with my mother long ago." Emiko said and Bulla shook her head. "You're another one, you know that? Well let's go shopping" She said and walked out with Emiko in row.
"You know it wasn't needed to buy me a whole room full of clothes, right?" Emiko asked and Bulla looked at her. "You never have enough clothes, besides what you have is only a few bags." She said. "7 full bags" Emiko said and Bulla laughed.
"You'll get use to it" She said and walked into the house. "You'd better get to the GR. My dad really isn't a patient man" Bulla said and put her bags down. "Says the girl who couldn't stand 10 seconds in a row and had to tell them who she was to be in the front" Emiko said and Bulla smiled innocently at her.
Emiko shook her head and walked towards Vegeta's Ki. She stopped at a large metal door. It slid open and she walked in. "It's about time you showed up" Vegeta said and stepped out with his arms crossed over his body.
"Sorry about that, Bulla took me shopping" She said and Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Women" He mumbled and looked back at Emiko. "Let's see what your mother taught you" he said and disappeared. Emiko followed his Ki and blasted him when he reappeared but he moved away before the blast hit.
He moved and started to punch her. Emiko blocked and then sent a round kick for his head. He ducked and blasted her against her abdomen. Emiko swiftly avoided the blast and kicked him in the stomach. He moved back and sent her a blast.
She hit it with her own blast and blocked Vegeta's punch when he reappeared behind her. "Not bad girl" he said. "Well your movements are easy to follow" She said and saw him narrow his eyes at her. "Oh really?" he asked disappearing.
"Yes" She said and crossed her arms. She heard a 'beep' sound and looked around to find the source. She saw Vegeta was at the panel. Suddenly she felt a small amount of change in the gravity. Vegeta punched another number in and Emiko felt more gravity. So he's increasing the gravity, it's just like dad's weights. She thought and looked at him.
"So you're not affected at the gravity, interesting" he said and shut off the gravity simulator. "You will train with me so I can see your full potential. I will also teach you what your mother didn't." he said and walked towards Emiko. "We'll begin tomorrow" he said and walked out. Emiko stood there dumb folded not sure what happened. She shook her head and walked out.
She walked along the halls and was suddenly confronted by a curious Bulla. "So how was the training?" She asked. "Well it was strange, but he said he will train me from now on to see my full potential" Emiko said and Bulla face palmed. "You're seriously going through with this?" She asked and Emiko nodded. "Alright but don't say I didn't warn you" She said and smirked just like Vegeta. Emiko said bye to Bulla and went to the son's house.
She walked in and closed the door. She walked into the living room and was greeted by Gohan. "So how was your shopping with Bulla?" he asked. "Okay, she almost bought the whole mall" Emiko said and he laughed. She walked towards the kitchen and greeted both Chi-Chi and Videl.
"Hey Chi-Chi, where do I stay?" She asked and Chi-Chi smiled. "Come with me" She said and showed Emiko to her room. "Thank you" She said and Chi-Chi nodded. "Dinners almost ready so clean up and join us down stairs." Chi-Chi said and closed the door behind her. Emiko quickly went to shower and then joined them down stairs.
After Dinner she said goodnight and went to bed. She closed her eyes and went into a restful slumber.
Emiko looked around and found herself in her old room. 'Why am I back here?' Emiko thought. She saw herself as a little girl again and her mother came into the room. Little Emiko got into bed and her mother tugged her in.
"Comfortable?" Her mother asked and the little Emiko nodded. "Alright where was I last?" She asked. "The three adventurers that went into space to search for the Black Star Dragon Balls before the earth exploded" The little one said and Asha smiled. "I'm glad you remembered. Well let's see…" her mother drifted off.
"Okay got it. They went in outer space in their spaceship but as they were in space their ship broke and the crash landed on a strange planet. They then went to explore the planet and find a place to get parts for their ship. They were run over by aliens who just wanted to sell things to them"
"They ran away and ended up at a hotel where they decided to stay but as they stayed there they noticed that they were being charged for doing everything even just lying on the bed! They flew out and ended up under a shade while it rained. They found a shelter where a family lived and they offered them shelter but it was taken away by the ruler's guards because their taxes where overdue"
"The three returned to their ship but it was already being taken by the guards and they were left in the dust. There they met a strange robot that ate their Dragon Radar. They then took him with them but tied him up. They decided that they were going to take their ship back, go by the parts and continue with their journey. So that night they broke in the castle and took their ship back. The next day they went back to the market to get parts but the streets were deserted. They walked around and saw that they were each on a poster as the most wanted on the planet"
"The police were on their trail and they ran away. As they did they fell into another's house. The 2 old people were scared of them and used a broom to protect them. The 3 just apologized for damaging their home and went their way again"
"Their stomach's growled and the old people took pity on them. They took them in and made them a meal but it was their last. They explained to them about the leader and how he sucked the life out of everyone. They decided to pay a visit to the leader"
"They gave themselves up and were taken in by the Police. As soon as they breached the castle entrance they broke free and walked right into the leader's throne room. They demanded that he give the people's money back but he defused. He ordered his body guard to dispose of them. The one decided that he would fight him while the other stood back"
"The guard was no match for him and left with the promise to fight him again one day. The leader desperate to live gave them what they wanted. The people of the planet were awarded with their money and all property that was taken back"
"The people rejoiced and gave them their parts to fix the ship. They returned to the ship and repaired it. The small robot they encountered tried to get away but was stopped. They thought about opening him up and get the radar but the robot said that the radar was already in his system. He showed them the Radar and they decided to take him with them and so they made another friend and went back into space" Asha continued…
