Different Upbringing

By: Givihe

Chapter 9

-Complication-

-Random Planet-

Her hands stretched out while her eyes closed shut while a blast formed in her outstretched hands. Once the blast was large enough, she let the grip loose which allowed the blast to hurdle forward. Arata shut out the screaming that came with the hurdling blast and kept her eyes closed.

"That's the last of it." Arata said in a low tone. She checked the scouter that resided on her face to confirm her outspoken thought. "Probably should get back."

It had only been a year since her arrival on Frig's ship and she was already being sent for purging missions. Some purging missions, Arata would accompany Daisuke with. While on other purging missions, Arata was forced to go on her own. There was no arguing on Frig's ship, which Arata only followed when she wasn't around Frig himself. Only around Daisuke did Arata step up to defend herself.

Arata found the pod that she had arrived with in the crater it created. She hopped into the crater and into the open pod. She sat in the seat and hit the button for the doors to close. Arata then clicked the buttons for the coordinates that she needed to return to Frig's ship. The ship lifted itself into the air and headed for the coordinates that were set in.

The planet that she was ordered to purge was far from the destination, so the sleeping gas would take effect. The race had been an ally to the Cold Empire up until a couple days ago. They had retracted their alliance due to their treacherous ways. Since Frig was closer to the planet, he was in charge of the termination. And since the planet was nicely suited for life, the purging was only for the population.

Arata clicked the side of the scouter. "Daisuke?" she questioned as the pod was out of the planet's atmosphere.

"I knew this wouldn't take you too long, Arata." Daisuke's voice said. Pride laced his voice. "Is that a new record?"

Arata sighed. "Not a record I'm proud of." She said. "This only makes me wonder how my family would think."

"Arata, now isn't a time to think of your family. The chances of you being found, let alone escaping, is close to impossible." Daisuke scolded gently. Arata didn't comment. She stayed silent and stared into the unending space of the universe. "When you get on the ship, we'll train before getting something to eat. Alright?"

"Alright." Arata said.

The communication stopped. Arata took the scouter off of her face and set it onto her lap. She closed her eyes and let her head lean back. Her mind stretched to her twin's open end for the remainder of the ride while sleeping.

"It just begun." Vegeta growled.

A huge puff of dirt rose into the air from an explosion in front of them from behind a mountain range.

"Come on." Krillin yelled.

Just before he took off into the air, Vegeta grabbed his wrist. "Get down here." he growled. "What did I say? If you think you can fly right past their scouters, they'll blast you right out of the sky. Go wherever you want, but don't you dare fly."

Krillin fell to the ground. "Krillin, are you-" Gohan started to ask while running to his friend.

"Man," Krillin said. "Gohan are you sure there isn't any way you can contact you dad?"

Gohan shook his head. Bulma laughed nervously. "Hey, even if Goku's running a little late, we still have Vegeta, right?" she said.

"Shut up woman." Vegeta growled while keeping his back turned towards her. "Unless you want to be caught up in the battle when it starts, I suggest you head home. You manage to get yourself to Namek, so you can't be a complete imbecile."

"That's enough." Yamcha said. "Where do you get off talking to her like that?"

"You tell him Yamcha." Bulma said.

"Sure." He said, acknowledging Bulma. "I mean, sure, she can be nosey and bossy, but she can be really nice."

"Bossy, huh? You're supposed to be defending me." Bulma yelled while grabbing Yamcha's ear.

"Bossy in a good way!" Yamcha said quickly.

"Wow, you sure know how to make a girl feel better." Bulma said while laughter began erupting among the group. "Come on guys, it isn't funny."

Krillin calmed his laughter and looked down. "I guess this might be the last laugh we have together, huh?" he asked.

Vegeta growled and took off on foot. The rest of the group quickly followed. They traveled over the mountain range while a power level dealt with Frieza. The power level kept everyone on their toes, everyone that could sense the power level anyway. Once they were over the mountain range, their eyes were met with a boy with lavender hair blasting Frieza's body into nothing with a young girl with black hair by his side and slightly behind him.

Arata was jolted into the real world by the pod slamming into entry part of the ship. She shook the bond from her mind and locked the emotions behind her. The door opened up and Arata quickly stepped out. Daisuke was standing by the entrance of the ship with his arms crossed over his chest.

"How many times have I told you that going into the bond only brings bad memories?" Daisuke asked in a teasing tone.

Arata rolled her eyes and kept forward. "You said that we were training?" she asked, ignoring what Daisuke had told her.

Daisuke and Arata walked to their usual training room. "The planet is clear?" he asked.

Arata just nodded. "Yes." She said.

"Frig's impressed at how quick you complete assignments." Daisuke said.

"The only reason I'm quick at it is so it's over faster." Arata said as they neared the room.

Before they could enter, however, Daisuke was approached. "Daisuke, Frig needs all of his top warriors." A random soldier said urgently.

"What's going on?" Daisuke asked.

"He won't say." The soldier said. "Just go."

"Go to the room, Arata." Daisuke instructed.

Arata nodded before Daisuke and the soldier ran towards Frig's quarters. She made her way to the room she shared with Daisuke and laid on her bed with her hands behind her head with her eyes closed. Curiosity pulled at her mind with the Frig situation and the mysterious duo on Earth.

"Can you tell us your names?" Bulma asked

The purple haired boy shook his head. "Sorry, no." he said.

"Is their shoe size a secret too?" Tien sneered.

"How do you know my dad?" Gohan asked.

"We don't." the boy said.

The confused looks from the group made the girl roll her eyes. "What he means is that we've only heard of him by reputation." She said.

"Well, Goku will be here in two hours, so you might as well just relax." The boy said as he pulled out a capsule and threw it to the ground. "They're drinks. You can grab one if you want one."

Gohan immediately went forward. "Gohan!" Krillin said.

"Relax, Krillin, they're just drinks." Bulma defended Gohan while walking to the mini fridge.

"Do they have grape?" Krillin asked and walking to the fridge as well. The rest of the group scattered slightly.

Gohan stepped away from the fridge with a drink at hand while staring at the girl intensely. The girl was sitting on the ground by the rock that the purple haired boy was sitting on. She noticed Gohan's intense staring and smiled nervously at him.

"Something wrong?" she asked.

Gohan shook his head. "Nothing." He said. His eyes went downcast. "You just remind me of someone."

Pain appeared in the girl's eyes as she too turned her eyes downcast. "Sorry." She said. "I get that sometimes."

Gohan shrugged. "It's just weird." He said. "Are you sure you can't tell us your names?"

The girl smiled sympathetically at him. "You'll know soon enough." She said. "We have to talk to Goku first, and then he can share what we tell him to you."

Gohan nodded. "Thanks." He said before he made his way towards Piccolo.

Arata was yet again brought into reality by the commotion outside the room. She got off of the bed and walked into the hallway to see soldiers running in different directions. What the hell? She thought while standing in the doorway.

No one paid her any attention as she stood there. In the distance, Arata spotted Daisuke's figure. He was tense, but pushed through the crowd easily with his height.

"Daisuke." Arata said as soon as he was close enough to hear. "What's going on?"

Daisuke didn't answer. He pushed Arata into the room, allowing the door to close. "Frieza and King Cold are dead." He finally said.

"What?" Arata questioned in shock. "Is that why everything is so crazy?"

Daisuke nodded. "With Frieza and King Cold dead, work load is going to increase for us and for Cooler's ship." He explained. "We're being sent on another mission. This one is going to be a trail of them."

"What do you mean by that?" Arata asked while Daisuke left the room with Arata at his side.

"It means that the planets that we'll be purging are part of one group, so to speak." He explained further. "Basically, we finish one and go onto the next one until we're done. Understand?"

Arata turned her eyes downcast. "Yes." She said, keeping her tone emotionless.

Daisuke looked at her and placed his hand on her back. "It's difficult, I know. It wasn't easy for me to do this when I was your age, but you soon learn to block it out of your mind." He said. "When we get back, I'll help you work on blocking memories out. Alright?"

Arata nodded. "Alright." She said as they got to the ship bay. "Thank-you."

Daisuke simply nodded. Due to the large amount of soldiers leaving, Arata was forced to share a pod with Daisuke. She climbing into Daisuke's lap and closed her eyes. Daisuke held her close to him as the ship was sent into the dark space of the universe. Arata stretched out into the bond as quickly as she could before the gas would take effect.

"What are you looking at, boy?" Vegeta growled.

The purple haired boy blushed slightly and turned his head away. The girl tried to hide her laughing. "Nothing." The boy said while looking down.

Vegeta huffed and turned his head away. "Stop your laughing, girl, or you'll find yourself in a bolder." He growled.

A giggle accidently left her mouth. "Sorry to say this Vegeta, but I'm not scared of you." She said while biting her lip. The group was now interested on the exchange going on between Vegeta and the mystery girl.

Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?" he asked. "You better watch your mouth, girl. You haven't seen a fourth of my power. If you did, you'd be eating those words."

The girl's laughing stopped. Seriousness entered her façade as she stood up. "Let me set things straight." She said in a near growl while glaring at Vegeta. "You are far from the fear I've experience in my life. You have no idea what I've been through personally, so you shouldn't threaten me. Understand?"

Vegeta, along with the rest of the group, stared at her in astonishment. Even her comrade was staring at her, but in concern. He stood up and placed a hand on her shoulder. He whispered something in her ear. The girl huffed sat on the other side of the rock so she could keep her back towards everyone else.

The boy sighed. "She's been through a lot." He tried to explain. "Usually she's good and keeping herself in check."

Vegeta's face went emotionless once again. He kept staring at the girl with keen interest. Gohan as well watched the girl in concern while the boy sat on the rock and leaned in to make small talk with her in an attempt to calm her down.

Her vision into the bond began to fail as the sleeping gas took effect. Arata's eyes quickly closed shut and she quickly fell asleep. Daisuke watched from above her, the sleeping gas still not taking effect. There were no words that came to mind as he stared at the girl in his lap. But one thing he knew: things were going to get a lot tougher.

A.N.(PLEASE READ): As said last time (and will be said many times from now), I have a poll up on whether or not I should have an AU where Arata is saved. I've already had two votes saying "Yes". For those who can't (or just don't want to) vote on the poll, just pick one of the four below and tell me in a review (those who have not voted):

Yes - should escape when Gohan jumps in to save Dende

Yes - should not be sent away from Namek and be rescued by Vegeta

No - This story doesn't interest me

No - This story isn't necessary

Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
