Broken Souls Chapter 12

"So how is he?" serenity asked Bulma, who had just come from upstairs. She had just finished nursing the boy whom Goku had found at the beach.

"Well… he was beat up pretty badly. All he needs is a little rest and he'll be fine." She said as she took a seat next to Yamcha on the couch. Serenity and Vegeta were leaning against the wall, Gohan and Rini were staring at the television, and Goku, the Z-warriors, and the senshi were in the kitchen, stuffing their faces with food.

I'm bored Vegeta mentally told his wife.

Then go do something she replied back.

Fine… how about you? Vegeta grinned as he nipped at the base of her neck and gently squeezed her butt.

"Only you Vegeta… only you." Serenity smiled. A loud 'thump' was heard from upstairs, making everyone turn their heads up towards the ceiling.

"What was that?" Goku asked as he finished the last of his food.

"It came from the spare room." Bulma said as she headed up the stairs and into the room that the boy was in.

"What are you doing?" Bulma asked. The boy had rolled out of the bed and onto the floor. Bulma helped him back onto the bed as everyone crowded around him.

"How do you feel?" she asked as she checked his eyes.

"Fine." The boy answered simply.

"Good. Now… who are you?" Vegeta asked. The boy turned his attention from Bulma to Vegeta.

"I can't tell you that." The boy answered. Vegeta's eyebrow went up as he stared at the stranger.

"Well… where are you from?" Serenity asked. The boy turned his gaze to Serenity.

" I can't exactly tell you that either… just know I'm not from here."

"Well… if you can't tell us who you are or where you're from… at least tell us what happened to you and why you're here." Goku said, stepping in front of the small crowd.

"I don't know Kakkarot… if he can't answer our questions, I don't think he'll be able to answer yours." Vegeta interrupted. The 'stranger' looked at Goku.

"Kakkarot? Goku? You're Goku right? My dad told me a lot about you."

'And who's your dad?" Goku wondered out loud.

" I can't answer that question, but I will answer your first question… after you fight me." Goku looked at the boy in amazement. Even in his condition he wanted to fight? He thought.

" Sure. I'll fight you. There's nothing like a good work out after that meal I just had." Goku said enthusiastically as he patted his stomach.

" Bulma you don't mind if we use the backyard do you?" Goku asked.

" Uhhh… no… I guess." She answered slowly. The stranger slowly got to his feet.

" Wait… are you sure you're well enough to fight?" Bulma asked trying to stop him.

" I'm well enough for this." He said, giving her a simple smile.

" Come on… I gotta see this!" Minako squealed as she and the others followed Goku and the stranger into the backyard.

"Ready?" Goku asked the boy who now was standing in front of him.

"Let's go"

"Well if you don't mind, I'd like to try something out." Goku said as everyone felt a sudden rise in Goku's strength. His hair began to stand straight up, turning blonde, and his eyes turned to a bluish-green color, and a gold aura surrounded him.

'That's how he was before! That's how he looked when he fought Frieza!" Serenity said, her eyes wide with amazement.

'This is my Super saiyan-jin form. I learned about it after I escaped from Namek." Goku explained as he jumped around, showing off his new power.

" A super saiyan-jin huh? Well…why don't we make it a fair fight." The stranger smiled as he clenched his hands into fists. In one burst of energy, his lavender hair turned blonde and it stood up right, his eyes the same bluish green as Goku's, and a gold aura surrounded him as well.

'Another one! Just who the hell are you? Only one of saiyan-jin blood can transform into a super saiyan-jin!" Vegeta yelled, his voice harsh.

"You'll find out soon enough da… Vegeta." He smiled. Vegeta breathed deep and turned on his heel, and headed for the house.

"Vegeta, don't you want to see the fight " Serenity asked as she watched her husband walk away.

"I've got more important things to worry about than some meaningless fight. he mumbled back as he disappeared into the house.

" What's wrong with Daddy? Why won't he watch the fight?" Rini asked, tugging on her mother's shirt.

"He'll be fine Rini. He's just a little upset." Serenity said smiling at the young girl.

"Let's see if my dad was right about you." The stranger grinned as he charged for Goku. With unmentionable speed, Goku dodged the attack and delivered one of his own. Serenity squinted her eyes, trying to catch every move they each made, but their speed began to confuse her. Everyone tried their best to keep their eyes on the battle, but before they knew it, Goku had the boy in a headlock, his face pressed against the ground.

"Wow! How the hell did that happen?" Makato asked, astonished at how fast the battle ended.

"Now… you mind telling me why you're here. Goku said, releasing his grip from the boy, allowing him to get to his feet.

"My dad did say that you were the first to reach the super saiyan-jin level. He said you were powerful, possibly more powerful than him. Thanks for the fight." The boy said as he returned to his original state. Goku blinked a few times and stared at the mysterious boy, as he, too, lost his golden-blonde hair, which slowly turned back to black.

"Now…I'm here to warn you… to warn everyone." At this, everyone's attention went to the boy, listening intently to hat he had to say.

"Warn us about what?" Haruka asked.

"There's another evil coming. A man named Dr. Gero is going to create two powerful androids. Where I'm from, no one knew of their arrival, and we were caught of guard. I grew up with the androids doing nothing but destroying people; my friends, family; everyone…all gone. I was in the middle of battling the androids, but I was able to escape, that's when you found me." Everyone was quite as they listened to his story.

"Do you think they'll come here next?" Goku questioned.

"I don't think… I know. They're sure to come here." He said, his voice was soft yet firm. Goku was quite as he took all the information in.

"Well, I guess we'll just have to welcome them, now won't we. We should start training. Uh…whomever you are… you're welcome to train with us.' Goku said. The stranger smiled.

"Well…you…we need to call you something. You can't stay in the house without a name." Serenity said, going deep into thought.

"Well, you can just call me… Mirai." The boy grinned.

"That's good enough." She smiled.

"Mommy, I'm hungry." Rini whispered sweetly.

"Okay…come on guys. We need to get some rest." She said as she headed into the house, followed by everyone else.

"Mirai?" Mirai turned around to face Setsuna, who was the only one left after everyone went inside.

"You have many secrets… secrets that we need to know. I know you're not from here… and possibly not from this time either." Setsuna said, her eyes locked on Mirai, who was frozen in his spot, unsure what to do or say.

"What…what makes you think that?" he asked unsteadily. Setsuna lowered her eyes at him, as if trying to see into his soul.

"I'm watching you… whoever you are." Setsuna whispered to him before she went into the house, leaving Mirai in his own worries.

"Vegeta?" Serenity called as she stepped into the bedroom. He was seated on the windowsill, staring into the sky.

"What's wrong?" she asked as she close and locked the door and made her way towards him.

"That boy…it's bad that a third-class has surpassed my strength, but it's even worse that a stranger has too."

"Oh Vegeta, you're getting worked up about that. You could worry about that later, but now you need to worry about training for…"

"The androids." Vegeta finished.

"I heard everything." Serenity stared at her husband as she pulled him onto his feet.

"Let's see… you have a daughter and wife who love you, and who don't care how strong you are, but the fact that you're second best still bothers you. Why?"

"Serenity, you wouldn't understand." Vegeta mumbled.

'Try me. Or is your pride too much to explain. You think that because you haven't reached the super saiyan-jin level, you have something to prove. Well… you don't."

"Wanna remind me why the hell I love you so much?" Vegeta asked as he wrapped is arms around Serenity's waist. She smiled as she leaned up and softly kissed him.

"Not really…besides… you don't need any reminding." Vegeta stared down at his wife as he pulled her closer to him and kissed her again. The kiss was long, and tasted sweet. Vegeta deepened the kiss as he pressed her against the closed door of their room. He broke the kiss, leaving a trail of kisses down her neck. Serenity began to breathe heavily as she began to struggle to remove Vegeta's tank-top from him, at the same time feeling his abdomen muscles with her fingers. Vegeta stared at Serenity, removed a few strands of her multi-colored hair from her face, and began kissing her again. Serenity grinned as she jumped up and wrapped her slender legs around Vegeta, who was making his was to the bed. (Well, you all should know what happens next so I'll just skip ahead a couple of lines and…okay here go.)

Vegeta wrapped his arm around Serenity's body as she snuggled deeper into his embrace. She pulled the bed covers over their bodies and leaned her head on his chest. Vegeta inhaled deeply and hugged Serenity tighter.

"I love you." Vegeta whispered into her ear. Serenity opened her eyes a little and smiled.

"I know Vegeta. I love you too." He slowly stroked her bare back as he continued.

" I'd never do anything to hurt you…you or Rini. You know that right?" Serenity looked up at him and caught his eyes with hers.

" Of course, I know that." Serenity's voice was a little shaky and concerned.

"And you know that anything I do is for the best, and is never meant to hurt you. I'd never do anything you couldn't handle." Vegeta whispered into her ear.

"Vegeta, why are you telling me all of this? What are you planning to do?" Vegeta placed a kiss on her forehead and hugged her tightly.

"SHHHHHH. You should get some sleep. Everything will be fine." Vegeta whispered to his wife as she rested her head back on Vegeta's chest, and went deep into thought, which soon sent her into a peaceful sleep.

Serenity rolled around in bed, trying to become comfortable in Vegeta's embrace again. She slowly opened her eyes and realized that Vegeta was no longer next to her.

"Vegeta…" she whispered. She turned to look at the clock, which read 1:30 am. He must be training, she thought as she snuggled deeper into her pillow, trying to go back to sleep. Suddenly without warning, the room began to shake, and soon a loud explosion rang throughout Capsule Corp. Serenity popped out of bed, realizing that the sound of the explosion had come from the gravity room. She slipped into one of Vegeta's sweatshirts and dashed out of the room. As she turned the corner, she noticed that the senshi, Bulma, Radditz, Mirai, and Yamcha surrounded the gravity room entrance.

"Guys… what's going on?" Serenity asked.

"Usagi… you're up." Haruka said, her voice soft.

"Who wouldn't be up? Something just exploded in the house. What happened?" She asked again, pushing her way through the small crowd of family and friends toward the gravity room.

"One of my capsule ships is missing." Bulma said as she opened the case which contained her capsules in.

"Guys… has anyone seen Vegeta? I thought he was in here training." Serenity said, stepping into the dome shaped room, which now had a large opening in the wall.

"Come to think of it… I haven't seen him. Usually he'd be the first to say something about this." Rei said.

Vegeta? Serenity closed her eyes and tried to reach him telepathically, but ther was no answer.

Vegeta… where are you? she tried again, but still… nothing. Everyone could see the worried expression that was now on Serenity's face.

" He's not here. Right now… he's on his way to train. He used a ship to travel to a place where he could become stronger, undisturbed." Mirai spoke up in a whisper, his eyes distant.

"Marai… how do you know this?" Serenity asked, walking towards him.

"I… I just do." He answered. Serenity stared at the boy, unsure if she should believe him or not.

"I need to sit down." Serenity whispered as she made her way downstairs and into the living room. Everyone followed her, leaving a silent Mirai standing in the hall. He took a deep breath as he felt a sudden pull in his stomach. He walked down the hall, the felling inside him pulling tighter and tighter, until he found himself in someone's room… Serenity's bedroom.

"What are you doing in here?" came a small voice. Mirai turned to look at the doorway to see Rini, who was rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

"Where's mommy and daddy?" she asked again. Marai stared at the pinl haired little girl before him.

"Hey squirt." Mirai smiled.

"Who are you calling squirt!" Rini yelled, sticking out her tounge. Marai let out a small chuckle.

" My name's Mirai."

" No it isn't. You're lying." Rini said, staring at him. Her eyes held the same tranquility in them like her mothers, and soon Mirai found himself unable to lie to the small girl. He took a seat on the bed and stared at her.

"You're right. You might want to sit down for this." Mirai said, taking a deep breath. Rini skipped towards him and plopped on the bed beside him.

"Can you keep a secret?" Rini eagerly shook her head.

"Okay… my real name is Trunks. I'm from the future. Actually, in the future, you're my older sister." Rini stared at Trunks.

"So that means that my mom and dad is your mom and dad too, right?" Trunks shook his head.

"That also means I get to boss you around in the future! YAY!" she squealed. Trunks let a small smile cross his lips.

"Yeah… but since I'm the older one now, I get to boss YOU around." Trunks laughed as he began to tickle the little girl, and high squeals of laughter admitted from her. As he continued to tickle her, tears began to form I her eyes, and she began rolling around on her mothers bed for laughing so hard.

"Alright. Now… I need you to do me a favor okay?" Trunks said as he ceased his tickling attack upon his sister.

"Okay" she smiled as she stood to her feet. Trunks pulled out a small bottle from the inside pocket of his jacket and showed it to Rini.

"In my time, mom gets sick and there's no medicine to make her better. This is the medicine for her sickness. Unfortunately mom died from the sickness before this was made. I need you to but this in a safe place. When mom gets sick, I want you to give it to her okay?" Trunks explained. Rini shook her head to show she understood and took the bottle from Trunks.

"I know the perfect place to hide it!" she squealed as she dashed out of the room, the bottle clutched tightly in her small hands. Trunks inhaled deeply as he watched Rini run out of the room. He felt the familiar tug that had brought him into the room in his stomach again. He searched the room with his eyes, and something began to glow inside of Serenity nightstand drawer. Trunks slowly opened the drawer and the light grew brighter, blinding him for a few moments. As the light subsided, he opened his eyes to see his mother's crescent moon wand floating in front of him, the light from the silver imperial crystal bright and strong. He felt a burning sensation on his forehead, as he took his fingers and rubbed the crescent shape birthmark inherited from his mother. Trunks stared at the jewel, before reaching out toward the piece of glass.

"What do you think you're doing?" a cold voice met his ear. As quickly as it begun, the light from the crystal subsides and the wand fell back into the drawer and the birthmark on his head disappeared. Trunks quickly turned around to see Hotaru staring coldly at him in the doorway.

"Wha…wha…what?" trunks fumbled over his words.

" I said… what do you think you are doing? Why did you have Serenity's crystal?" Hotaru repeated, advancing towards him. Her eyes were cold and distant as she stared.

"I…I…I was just looking at it." He said nervously to the senshi of Saturn.

"If I were you Marai… I'd get out… NOW." Hotaru said coldly. Trunks took a few steps back, then got the courage to move foreword, and slowly headed out the door breathing heavily. Hotaru turned on her heal and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. She headed down the stairs towards the others who were in the living room, trying to comfort Serenity.

"I can't believe him! How could he just leave like that! Stupid Bastard!" Hotaru heard Serenity yell at the top of her lungs.

"Hotaru…what's wrong?" Ami asked when she saw the cold look on her face.

"I just caught Mirai in Serenity's room. He had the crescent moon wand and imperial crystal."

"What?" Haruka yelled, standing to her feet. She turned to Serenity.

"Serenity… where did you leave the wand?"

"I'll worry about Mirai and the crystal later Haruka. Right now, I'm worried about my family." Serenity walked to the window and stared at the full moon.

Vegeta… how could you leave me and Rini like this? What do you think you're doing? Stupid power-hungry fool! I told you we didn't care about your strength but you went off anyway. Serenity's thought began to take control as she fell to her knees and began to cry.

"Serenity..." Minako sighed as she went and hugged her best friend tightly. "Come on… get some rest." She said as she led her to her room.

'Vegeta will be back before you know it." Rei whispered as she watched Minako tuck the crying Serenity in bed.

"Don't worry, we'll handle Mirai. Get some rest." Setsuna said as everyone headed out the door.

"Radditz?" Rei stopped in the doorway and looked at her boyfriend, who was still rooted in his spot. He stared at Serenity, who buried her face in the pillows.

"I'm coming in a minute." He said to Rei, who sighed then turned to leave.

"Princess Serenity?" Radditz stepped closer to her.

"Go away." She mumbled.

"I will. But I want you to know, the prince is on his own journey to better himself. All I ask is for you to be strong until his return, and know that he does this for the good of you and your daughter." He began to walk away before he turned back.

"If ever you need me… I'm here." With that he left the room. Serenity turned her head towards the window, and stared into the dark sky until sleep claimed her.
