Last time...
The next morning, Piccolo came at an early 5 a.m.
He knocked, and then opened the door. Reia was still asleep, holding onto a piece of paper. He pulled it out of her hand and read it.
"What the?" He clenched the paper tighter. When he finished, he clenched it in a ball and threw it across the room, in the trashcan. "I have to figure it out with the things in this room, eh?"
He shook Reia awake. "Wake up. Why can't you just tell me directly?"
'I can't tell. But once you figure it out, I can tell you everything.'
"Fine." He began searching through everything, tossing everything he thought could be a clue in the middle of her room.
Now...
Piccolo pulled open her closet and found a shiny scepter staring back at him. He put that in with the other things he found, like an old poster he found under her bed that said Devil's Nest on it.
A pack of cards with a red check on them.
A red bandana moved to look like a check on her night table. He wasn't sure if it meant her whole night table or not.
A voice recorder Bulma had once used to record a battle Goku fought in.
A picture of a martial arts tournament.
And, finally, a book that was locked. He would've overlooked it if it hadn't fallen on his head when he opened the closet.
He moved and sat, cross-legged, next to the supplies. "All right, now what?"
'Focus on everything you found, and just...meditate. The answer should come to you.'
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." He inhaled and exhaled deeply, closing his eyes.
'Just think about everything you've learned about me. About these objects you've found. Think about their meanings.'
He felt his mind begin to drift away.
'Can you feel it? Your spirit leaving your body? Open your eyes, Piccolo. The answer is close.'
He opened his eyes and they widened when he found himself floating outside of his body.
"How did I...?" Something caught his eye from his left and he turned. Reia was there, her wings were out and open fully. They were surrounding them, in a comforting, warm embrace. Her body seemed like it was glowing, and her eyes were vibrant and caring. But also had a slight sadness to them. She grabbed onto his hand to get his attention.
'Look that way, Piccolo.' She thought, gesturing over to where his and her bodies were. 'Watch as the story unfolds. It will only go as far as the objects you've given.'
Suddenly, the room disappeared, and then reappeared with only Reia in it. A red haze began to fill the room and a large figure appeared.
He, who Piccolo assumed was the Devil, suddenly snapped, a fire appearing between his fingers. Piccolo made a move to stop him, but Reia put a hand on his shoulder.
'Don't worry, this is only a memory.'
When Piccolo looked back, he saw Reia on the floor. Red creatures were near her legs, wrapping them in chains.
He could only hear parts of their sentences, but that was enough for him to understand.
"...Voice back before your friends defeat...villain, you will...new Deville." Piccolo heard Devil laugh.
"...Tell anyone...before the villain has been destroyed...everyone weaker than him at this point in time...You...Deville...destroy everything."
Devil grabbed Reia, his large hand bigger than her body. As his body began to shrink, a woman who looked vaguely like Devil stepped forward.
He motioned for her to step forward, grabbing the scepter from her.
"Is that the scepter that I found?"
'No, the one you found is God's scepter. That one is made of Devil's energy. Pure evil.'
"Alright...how did...spell go?" Devil began speaking in another language.
Then, stabbed Reia in the chest.
Piccolo gasped in shock.
"You will be mine, Reia! Mine!"
Then, just as sudden as it appeared, the scene disappeared. Piccolo was back in his body, as was Reia.
He stood up.
"So...Devil put a curse on you?"
Reia nodded, standing up and picking up the scepter.
'But, I'm sure even if I don't get my voice back and I turn into a Deville, you guys will stop me before it gets too bad.'
Reia frowned, and then began putting away her things.
Piccolo stayed silent for a moment. "All right. So, just to make sure I've got this right: Devil put a curse on you, and unless we defeat this new villain, or we get defeated, you will turn into this Deville thing and destroy everything?"
She nodded again. 'Pretty much.'
Piccolo noticed her putting up the book. "What was the book for?"
Reia paused. 'Oh, I found this when I first came here. I have no idea what it is though.'
Piccolo grabbed the book from her. "I'll ask Bulma." Then, something hit him.
"W-Wait! He said that if the villain defeats anyone weaker than him at that point in time, right?"
Reia nodded.
"Then, doesn't that mean that the villain is already here?"
Reia's eyes widened. 'Y-You're right! What should we do?'
Piccolo growled. "I think that we should just convince everyone to train. We shouldn't make them think the end of the world is coming or anything. They get on my nerves when they're depressed."
Reia shook her head. 'Right, right. I'll go get them to train; you talk to Bulma about that book.'
~.~.~.~.~
Reia opened her door and was about to step out, when Yamcha was about to knock on her door.
"Oh! Hey there, I just wanted...to..." He trailed off as he saw Piccolo. "What're you doing with Piccolo?"
'Nothing, just talking.' She said.
"Oh, alright..." He said suspiciously. Piccolo pushed passed them. "You go tell Goku and the others, I'll be with Bulma."
Reia nodded. 'Please excuse me, Yamcha. I have to go talk to the others.' She was about to walk off. 'Oh, right. You fight don't you?'
He nodded. "Sure do."
'Go train!'
"What?"
She signed slower. 'Go. Train.'
"No, no. I know what you said. Why should I?"
'To get stronger of course! Don't you want to be as strong as Goku, Vegeta, or Piccolo?'
"Well...yeah. I guess."
'Go train! You might want to hurry, because I'm going to go convince them to train, too.' She ran off.
"Hey wait!" She already turned the corner. "Ahh...well. But it didn't sound like they were just talking...Sounded more like..." He felt his face getting red.
"I have to go talk to Derrick. He has a right to know about this."
~.~.~.~.~
"Bulma. Do you know what this book is?" Piccolo asked as soon as he spotted her, walking from her bedroom.
"Hm?" She looked at the old, worn out cover. "It doesn't look familiar...Where did you find it?"
"Reia's closet. Open it for me. I have to go train." Piccolo turned, his cape flowing behind him. He left before she could say another word.
"O...kay?"
~.~.~.~.~
Reia had just finished convincing them to train when Piccolo walked in.
'So you see, you never know when a new opponent might come.'
"She's right! Let's do it! We'll get stronger, learn a few new moves. It'll be awesome!" Goku said enthusiastically.
"Yeah! Seems great!" Krillin said, hopping off the couch.
"I guess I can't then...Mom says I can't fight."
"But, it's not really fighting is it? It's only sparring. Completely different. Come on, it'll be fun!" Goku said.
"Oh...alright, I'll do it." Gohan said, a smile crawling on his face.
Reia jumped up and down. 'I did it!' She turned towards Piccolo.
"Yeah, yeah."
"Did you say something Piccolo?" Yamcha asked, feeling even more suspicious at their actions.
"No." He turned. "Come on, Reia. We have things to discuss with Bulma." Reia waved at everyone else.
'I'll be back later.'
~.~.~.~.~
Yamcha pulled Derrick to the side as they went outside. "Hey, hold on a second. I need to talk to you about to you about something."
"Ah, Sure. What's up?"
"I think...I think Reia is cheating on you."
"..." Derrick say silent. "Why would ya say th't? Reia would never do th't!"
"I'm not saying she is! But she might be, because well..." Yamcha explained what he heard this morning. Derrick growled and punched the wall.
"But...Sh' wouldn't do th't to me..."
"You should talk to her. I might be wrong..."
"...Yeah." He continued outside. "I'll do it later..."
~.~.~.~.~
Piccolo and Reia arrived at Bulma's lab. Piccolo knocked on the door. "Open up. It's me."
The door opened. "Hey! I finally opened the locked, and it turns out, this is a Diary. I don't know who it's by because it never says a name."
Reia looked over Bulma's shoulder as she flipped through the pages.
"And, most of the pages are blank. At least, at first. But I turned away once, and when I looked back, a blank page was filled with words in a different language!"
Reia suddenly grabbed the book and flipped the page back.
"What is it?" Piccolo asked.
She dropped the book when she finished reading. 'These are from...my past life. This is my diary...'
"W-What?"
Ahhhhhhh! Just two hundred words below my limit. Oh well...Anyways!
I don't want it to seem like Yamcha's the bad guy here. But he, and Tien, are usually the over cautious ones. And since Tien didn't see Reia naked, and Yamcha did, I figured I'd use him.
I could've used Tien, I guess...But really? He's kind of more trusting than Yamcha. Just a little. Or not.
DON'T QUESTION ME!
Thanks for reading!
