Chapter 9 – Mama Gine

The phone rang. Chi-Chi picked up. "Honey, it's Bulma!" she shouted. "Hello... Yes... Ok... I'm coming." Chi-Chi looked at her husband questioningly. "I'm just going to see Bulma, she discovered something about Hana, and it has to do with me." But before Chi-Chi could say anything he was gone "Argh I hate it when he does that!"

Bulma sat in her lab. She had just put down the phone. She sighed and thought back to the message. The woman's voice, she sounded panicked. Was that Goku`s mother? Bulma rested her face in her hands.

Less than five minutes later, Goku entered. Bulma looked up at her friend. "Thank you for coming so quickly Goku." Behind Goku stood Vegeta "What have you discovered". Bulma looked at device of Mieta. "It not only transmits as Hana thought, it also receives. And it has a message on it. I think it`s Goku`s mother".

Bulma pressed the button and the message began to play. "Mieta stop, wait what do you mean you are on earth? Let me talk to Hana, what's going on. Is my son with the prince? Mieta no, don't do anything ok. Let me talk to Raditz or is also Kakarot there, my other son?" A loud noise followed on the back ground and the message ended.

Goku looked a little surprised. "So that's why! Hana and Mieta already know the name Kakarot; they know the name through this woman. First, on the first day of our meeting, Hana became calmer when I pointed out Kakarot and mentioned his name. That's why she wanted to train with Kakarot. And that's why that big Sayian woman was shocked by Kakarot's name." At Vegeta, puzzle pieces fell into place. Goku still didn't understand.

"Where is Hana?" asked Bulma. The Saiyans looked at each other. "Maybe our son knows how to find her? I think they are friends" suggested Vegeta Bulma grabbed her cell phone and called Trunks. After she hung up she said "he's going to look".

Sighing, Trunks didn`t know if he felt like meeting the bounty hunter again. She clearly didn`t want him around her. First he knocked on her bedroom door, nothing. Then to the gravity room, nothing. Then he figured she wanted out, the ship in the hangar!

The sliding door was open a little bit. He walked in and he heard some rumbling behind the ship. "Hana are you there?" he called. No sound, but there was some muttering. He walked around the ship and he saw Hana looking at the ship's engine. "That's all fine though, the ship just needs fuel and clean oil." Hana was startled by the boy next to her.

"What are you doing here?" she asked irritably. "Mother asked me to find you, she's in her lab" Trunks snapped at her. Trunks walked away but heard Hana call out to him "That's all?" Trunks turned around in surprise "Yes, what did you expect me to say?" He walked on again but was passed by Hana who had clenched her fists, she ignored him.

At that moment Trunks grabbed Hana`s wrist causing her to suddenly come to a stop. "What?" she asked angrily. "What? I should be asking you that! I have no idea what your problem is. Why are you so angry?" he called out as she stood beside him. "I don't have to explain anything" she hissed. "Yesterday you were full of fun, now you're angry. Why?" Hana pulled her wrist loose.

"Because of this stupid planet. Because of your happy family feeling. Goddamned because of you! I'm getting weak in the head. And soon they will find the camp with mother and the children. I have to take to the skies, all eyes on me" Hana had tears in her eyes she wanted to strike out at Trunks but he grabbed her face with two hands. In her blow there was no strength left.

Angrily Trunks looked at his lady friend "When will you learn that you don't have to do this alone. You came here for a bounty, ever thought that you might not get money but a whole team. That you have found the prince of all Saiyans to help you. And me, I" he didn't finish his sentence and pressed his lips to hers.

She answered right away, her arms around his neck. He lifted her up and pressed her against the ship, she wrapped her legs around his waist. A small moan escaped her lips. He planted a kiss on her neck and her head went back in pleasure. Running her hands through his purple hair, their lips quickly found each other again. Then Trunks' phone rang "Shit."

Ten minutes later, the two young Saiyans walked into Bulma's lab. "That took a long time" snarled Vegeta. "Hana dear, sit down for a minute." She looked surprised towards Goku who seemed a bit nervous.

Bulma pressed the button on the device. As the message played, Hana jumped up with tears in her eyes "Mother, but how?" "Not only how, who is that really?" asked her teacher. Hana turned around but this time to Goku. "Mother, but not my biological. But yours Kakarot. She took care of me and many banned children and raised them as her own. I know of no Saiyans with a bigger heart than she. She always told of her two sons with love. Raditz who was with the prince and her youngest son who must definitely be alive. She knew that for sure"

"If she really has such a big heart, why did she send me to earth as an infant" Goku did not seem impressed. Hana looked angered by his reaction "To save you, you fool. Her husband Bardock knew the end was near. He warned everyone, provided a safe location for anyone who believed him. The original plan was that mother will go with you. But she still had to warn Raditz and Bardock had gone off on Frieza".

Now stunned, Goku asked "My father went against Frieza?" Hana sighed; Trunks put a hand on her shoulder. She dropped her head "Everything went wrong, she couldn't reach Raditz, and she had found two lost children in the chaos. So she went to the camp first. But all the pods were destroyed upon arrival. She couldn't get to you".

"What was her name?" asked Bulma. Hana had a smile on her face "Gine, Mama Gine." Hana looked at Goku again "And you have her gentle nature and big heart. I hope you can have that for her too, she has been crying for you every night for over forty-five years". No one could speak, Trunks was the first to say something "But that was the transmitter wasn't it? So we can send her a message?" Everyone stared at Trunks.
