A/N: Another chapter! A little inspiration goes a long way!
...
Turles noted with satisfaction that Jeice's sibling shared some of her brother's hotheaded impulsiveness. He'd heard rumors of the Red Magma having a twin but he wasn't one to put much stock into idle chatter. A few simple cutting remarks had made the female Brench explode with outrage. The Saiyan always found it amusing how easy it was to use his enemies' emotions against them. Turles was a master at discovering just the thing that would drive a particular individual into a frenzy. A furious foe was a careless one that would leave numerous opportunities to strike...

Gartoas shook his head as Daiz merely poked at the food on his plate. Surely the Kabochan would bounce back soon from this current trial of the heart.
Chi-Chi bit her lip as she collected the empty plates, bowls and trays from Gartoas and Gohan. The food on the plate in front of Daiz had barely been touched. He shoved the plate over to the brunette wearily.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. I just have no appetite today. Thank you for preparing it though," he said politely. With that he rose from his seat and left the room.
"Aw, give em' time e'll be all right, " the Kardangan insisted as he took in the concerned look on Gohan's face.
Chi-Chi hurried back to the food-prep area, she wouldn't forget the utter dejection she saw in the dark green-haired pirate's eyes anytime soon.

In Otherworld:
Yamcha stood with a satisfied grin on his face as he nodded approvingly, "I'm sure glad Bulma came to her senses. Maybe that pirate creep finally got the message and he'll leave my girl alone!"
"What I don't get is WHY did Chi-Chi step in and help Turles? " a perplexed Krillin wondered aloud.
"I can't figure out why she did that either. As resourceful those two are, it wouldn't take too much for Bulma and Chi-Chi to escape without Turles in the picture, " Tien added. Chiatzou nodded his agreement.
"I'm sure Chi-Chi had her reasons, " Goku insisted stubbornly.
"What was Chi-Chi going to do? She had no way of leaving the planet on her own. And even if she did it's not like she could force an unwilling Gohan to come with her, " Piccolo pointed out.
"Thanks Piccolo! " Goku sighed.
"Besides, Bulma's working on a plan, " the Namek added.
"That's my Bulma! She'll figure all this out!" Yamcha exclaimed.
'For Gohan's sake I HOPE you're as smart as everyone thinks you are, Bulma' Piccolo thought.

Tears stung Jeiclyn's eyes as she faced off with the obnoxious Saiyan that had ended the life of the person she loved most. Jeice might have been brash, impulsive and prone to go on about himself. But he was her brother, her twin! No one could understand the overwhelming pain she suffered due to his loss. To make matters worse the last time they'd spoken to each other was during an argument...
Flashback:
Training Room In Frieza's Baseship:
The female Brench walked along side her brother trying to talk some sense into him. She didn't want him risking his life to enlarge some blowhard's already overinflated ego.
"Aw, c'mon, sis! It's tha Ginyu Force! Tha' greatest fighters in tha' universe! Ah' got tha' chance ta' be parta tha' team! Ya' can' be askin' me not ta give it muh best shot!" Jeice huffed.
"Right! Tha "great Cap'n Ginyu." Ah hear e' stands back an' lets is' men do tha' dirty work an' then he claims tha glory!" Jeiclyn snorted.
"Puh! That's just losers gripin' cause they couldna' make tha'cut!" the Red Magma declared. "Look there e' is!"
His twin observed the purple alien figure Jeice pointed out. He was a tall muscular being with two black horns on each side of his head. Ginyu went into a series of dramatic poses and elaborate footwork. Finally he stretched out one arm in front of his body and put the other behind his head. He bent his right knee and stood motionless. A beefy red-haired humanoid male and a tall blue male reptilian being standing nearby immediately broke into loud applause.
"Hmph! Mos' people call ah medic when someone goes inta seizures!" Jeiclyn quipped.
"Good one!" the bald Saiyan Nappa chortled from across the room. The Saiyan prince even snickered.
"Is someone mocking the sheer artistry of the Ginyu Force?" Ginyu growled.
"O' course not! Muh sister 'ere was so blown away by yer performance she thought she might need a bit o' medical attention, " Jeice spoke up quickly.
"We're all in danger of dying of laughter!" Vegeta called out.
Raucous laughter and hoots resounded throughout the training area at the Saiyan royal's comment.
"Ignore tha monkeys we always do!" the Brench male taunted.
Jeiclyn watched in bitter silence as Jeice was selected as a member of the prestigious Ginyu Force.
"If ya can' accept ah'm part o' tha team..." Jeice started.
"What Ah can't accept is ya throwin' yer life away!" his sister interrupted.
"THEN JUS' STAY OUTTA MUH LIFE!"
End of Flashback
...
Jeiclyn was shattered when she received the news that the entire Ginyu Force had been eradicated by the Saiyan Turles and his crew of miscreants. The overbearing Captain Ginyu might have led her brother on his self-destructive path but the pirate from Hell had taken his life. Perhaps another twin would understand the depth of her loss, but one thing she was certain of -Turles was going to pay! When she finished with him the white-maned female would deal with his crew and the two half-breed mongrels she'd learned of.
"Well? Are ya gonna just stand ther' an' look at me?" Jeiclyn snapped.
"Ladies first! Besides it's not like you're really worth the effort of a second glance , " Turles taunted.
"Ya conceited son of ah ..."
"Must we really bring my mother into this? Somewhere in Hell she must have her ears practically ablaze as often as she's brought up in conversation, " the pirate commander cut in.
The red complexioned citizen of Brench stood blinking in pure disbelief at the Saiyan's utter arrogance. And she had thought that Ginyu was full of himself...
"Unexpected technique indeed! You're going to...BORE ME TO DEATH!" Turles cackled.
"Ah'm gonna send ya ta Hell ya black-hearted monkey!" Jeiclyn screamed.
"Promises, promises!"
A red sphere began to form in the female's hand. Turles recognized it instantly as Jeice's favored technique-The Crusher Ball!
'Well, this might actually get interesting!' the spiky-haired warrior thought...
...
Until the next chapter!
