Thank you so much to those who already have I really appreciate it

Chapter 8

Friend or Foe?

There were times when Bulma thought nothing would come and hurt the Z gang again, but then something always happens and in one way or another they would always pull through with flying colours. This time though she thought otherwise. No matter what she did nothing was helping Vegeta and the only person that could help him doesn't want to. How did things get so bad all of a sudden she didn't know.

Sitting in her lab at Capsule Corp, she was interrupted by Bra who was out of breath and looking a bit tired "I think you better come have a look at this" puffed out Bra

"Why what's wrong, your father's ok isn't he" yelped Bulma standing up and knocking her chair over

"No, Daddy's fine but there is something wrong I think"

"Well what is it?"

"I think you better come and take a look yourself"

"Right"

Bulma and Bra hurried out of the lab that Bulma was in and Bra led the way to the lab that held the space scanners. When they walked into the room the scanners were beeping madly showing signs of something approaching at a rapid speed.

"What does that look like to you? I mean it's moving too controlled to be a asteroid or meteor, look it's even slowing down" she exclaimed

"I hope for our sake that you are either wrong or whoever these people are they are friends and not enemies, because if they are I don't think we'll be able to conqueror this time" answered Bulma

"Bra go and gather the entire gang together and I'll send you the coordinates once they are all here" ordered Bulma to her daughter

"Sure thing mum just hurry, I'll be back soon"

As her daughter darted out of the lab Bulma thought to herself this better be good news, with all the problems we're having on one is going to be able to take anymore bade news

Meanwhile at the Hotel

"Ari, we have to go now otherwise your mum is going to throw a fit again," yelled Pan

"I'm coming, I'm coming" replied Ari walking out of the bathroom and clipping on one of her remaining chains to her cargo pants.

"Ari, you know that box that you brought with you"

"Yeah what about it"

"What does it mean when the little orange light is flashing?"

"Incoming spaceship"

"Oh, is there something on this thing that tells me whether or not this particular spaceship is evil"

"Nope, unless the satellites in orbit recognize the emblem of the ship if it has one, in which case from the looks of the box it doesn't recognize it"

"Well, is there any chance of checking this out in the next few minutes or so, cause I'm getting really, really bored"

"Sure let me ring the director here and tell him that we'll be a little late, then we'll take a quick detour and take a peek at our new visitors"

"Cool"

At the landing site of the alien space craft

"Please let them be friendly, please let them be friendly, please let them be friendly…" chanted Bra

"Bra, Bra, Bra stop it! You're making everyone nervous. It's bad enough that we've got an unwelcome visitor there's no need to heighten the tension around here," yelled Marron

"Well so-r-ry, just thought I might pray to whoever's listening for some help"

"Praying isn't going to help you when the bad guys get here"

"You don't know that they're not bad ones"

"Well I'm hoping that they aren't and so should you instead of always looking on the bad side of things"

"Airhead"

"Takes one to know one"

"Girls will you please stop it it's giving everyone a headache" said Trunks venomously, who was extremely pissed off and very tired

"Fine" both girls replied in unison

"Look its coming" yelled someone pointing upwards

"Everyone on your guard" ordered Gohan

The ship was coming towards them at a speed faster than it should have been looking like it's completely out of control. Just as it was about to land there was an explosion from the ship's back thrusters and it began to swayed dangerously then it dropped to the ground creating a moderately sized crater on the surface of the earth. As the dust and debris settled the Z-gang realized that no one had emerged from the ship. Thinking that they could be hurt Bulma sent Trunks and Goten to take a closer look.

Surveying the ship it seemed like the technology was more advanced than that of anything that his mother had come up with and there was this weird emblem of a snake like animal in a triangular shape swallowing its own tail. Approaching the damaged ship's entrance Trunks took in the sight before him. There were pieces of metal askew everywhere it would hardly seem likely that anyone could have survived an impact like this. Yet something moving in the corner caught his eye. Sticking out from under a large piece of the interior hull was a twitching bleeding gloved hand and arm. Walking closer to the arm Trunks noticed that whatever was underneath the sheet of metal was certainly alive. Wasting no time he quickly removed the metal sheet to the side and came face to face with a teenage girl who looked very much like his mother. The only difference being that her hair was a strange emerald green colour with blond highlights. Shocked, Trunks didn't see the red blood flowing out of the young girl's lips.

"Trunks, Trunks are you alright in there" yelled Goten

"I'm fine. Goten go get my mum there's a girl who's hurt pretty badly in here" replied Trunks as he was pulled from his thoughts and finally noticing her mouth was covered in blood. Carefully picking the girl up Trunks carried her out into the open to the waiting stretcher his mother had out.

"Trunks what happened in there and where did this girl come from" asked Bulma hurriedly

"She was in the ship under a sheet of the interior wall. The ships beaten up badly I don't know how she managed to get that thing through the atmosphere the way she did"

"Was she the only one in there?"

"I think so I didn't see anyone else in there"

"Well you better go and have a proper look I don't want us helping one and not the others, you never know they may not be as gracious if they think we only help one instead of all"

"Ok I'm going back"

10 minutes had passed and Trunks came back empty-handed.

"So no more survivors"

"No more"

"Did you look everywhere?"

"I looked everywhere I even tried ki sensing no one"

"Ok then lets head back. We'll try a get this girl to improve and see if she'll give us any answers. I'll get a crew to come back here and clean up this mess and savage what they can of the ship?" said Bulma

Lifting off the Z-team didn't sense the two invisible people standing on top of a nearby rock watching the whole scene unfold.
