14. Saiyans

"I can't believe this." Trunks said. Both he and Goten were extremely shocked at this new unexpected development. The two young sailor scouts were Jackie and Reika all this time.

"Jackie." Trunks shook her shoulder trying to rouse her.

Goten followed suit, "Reika, please wake up."

"Don't touch my girls!"

The guys looked up to see a very tall and very beautiful woman in front of them. She wore a green sailor fuku similar to Jackie's.

"She's right." Another voice boomed overhead. Trunks didn't have to turn around to know who it was, he could tell by the familiar power level. "Those girls are none of our concern." Vegeta said to the boys.

"But, they're hurt!" Goten looked behind him glaring at Vegeta.

Sailor Jupiter glared at Vegeta knowing he must have been the man the girls had talked about. "I will care for the girls." She said to the boys trying to keep her voice calm.

Trunks stood up stubbornly, his hands balled tightly. Goten looked down at Reika with worry; but when he looked up at Trunks stern face, he too balled his fists before turning away from the girls.

"ugh." The guys immediately turned around again upon hearing the girls moan.

"Jackie!/Reika!" the guys called in unison.

Jackie and Reika began to stir before forcing their eyelids open. The guys powered down, once again running to the girls side.

Jackie gasped in shock, as the blonde hair fell and turned purple when hitting Trunks' face. "Trunks." She said lightly, almost inaudible.

Reika pushed up a smile seeing Goten in front of her, "I should have known it was you." She said just over a whisper, but plenty loud enough for him to hear. His eyes still held worry but he grinned at her in return.

"Are you okay?" Goten questioned.

Reika nodded, "Yeah."

Vegeta wasn't new to surprises, and he had already suspected of Jackie. He looked up to see the woman in green glaring at him. He could read her power level, she was stronger than an average earthling by far but nothing he felt worth his time. "Let's go." He said.

Trunks deeply inhaled before standing up again. He wanted to help Jackie but with all these new changes he was unsure what he should be doing. But maybe he should just listen to his Saiyan prince of a father.

Goten was having a harder time separating himself from Reika.

As soon as Trunks took a step away, he heard Jackie forcing herself up from the ground. He turned around and when looking at Jackie he could tell she was being strong on purpose. He could tell by the way she stood favoring one leg and slightly hugging herself with one arm from the pain.

"Wait." Was what Jackie said when Trunks turned to look at her. "I need to know." She took a deep breath of air her lungs hurting as she did so, "what is a Saiyan?"

Trunks was surprised to say the least and so was Goten as he looked up at Trunks. Trunks looked at Goten who was now helping Reika up, not minding the adults earlier admonitions to let alone and leave. "We," he said as in him and Goten, he motioned with his eyes, "are Saiyans."

Both Jackie and Reika gasped. "You?" Reika sputtered. Goten nodded in consent to her question.

Jackie's face was serious thinking about this. She glared at Trunks, "If you're who they're after, then we are here to protect you." Jackie said.

Trunks grinned at her, "Look it's nice you feel that way." He said seriously to her, "but if it is us that they're after, then we can handle it ourselves."

He didn't mean to hurt her but Jackie took that as offense and tried to hide the hurt in her eyes. But she didn't have time to be hurt. The moment she tried to look Trunks back in the eyes a beam flew past her and into a tree behind them. In the same instant she turned to see it hit a tree. When hit it fell and behind was a teenage boy holding his arms over his head in hopes to protect it from the falling tree.

"What the hell?" Trunks yelled at his father.

"Koji!" Jackie shouted in worry.

"He was spying." Was all Vegeta said.

"He's my little brother!" Jackie turned and screamed at him.

"Well he shouldn't have been eavesdropping!" he shouted back at her.

"Well you shouldn't be shooting at helpless boys!" The tall woman in green shouted this time.

Vegeta returned her glare. "Women!" he shouted before flying off.

Makoto took a step forward and watched him leave before looking back down at the teens.

Trunks sighed once again. He then looked back at Jackie. "I better go." He said, "I'll talk to you later, okay?" he tried to sound reassuring given all that's happened.

Jackie nodded her head in agreement to his words. He nodded back before flying off as well. Jackie watched as he left and couldn't help but wish he would've said more to her.

Goten kissed Reika softly on the cheek and she smiled at him before he flew off as well. Her smile fell remembering Jackie and looking back at her. She already knew that she wasn't taking this easy. And she was right, she could tell that Jackie was trying to fight the tears that fought to fall.

Jackie used her balled up fists to wipe her eyes hard, then turned around and saw the pity on Reikas face. "Well, that's that." Jackie said and limped her way toward her mother and little brother.
