Angel of Paradise
It has been a few years since Son Goku and Trunks death. A powerful force lands on Earth leaving a huge crater that couldn't be left unnoticed. The DBZ crew goes to the site of the crater to investigate after feeling its power. When they arrive, there is nothing but a gigantic hole in the ground. After a few minutes, they finally decide that there is nothing to worry about and they go back to the Son's house. Chichi was waiting for them with a whole table full of her special recipe of meat loaf.
"The food is ready guys!" said Chichi
Before she knew it they were each sitting at there place eating like a bunch of pigs.
"Women," Vegeta said disgustingly, "It takes you this long to make so little food. We should let you live with the snails. Make me some more food."
Suddenly there was a loud knock at the door.
"Vegeta-chan, you leave your comments to yourself. If you want it, earn it, you dog. Go open the door!" said Bulma with her eyes bulging out and a frying pan in one hand ready to hit him."
Vegeta obeys suprisingly since he didn't want to get on her bad side or else he would be stuck sleeping on the couch for a month.
Still, quietly, he mumbles to himself, "A king Saiyan should not open the door for any third class rejects!" He opens the door and his eyes widen while he says "Great! Less food for me, now that you're back."
From the backround, Gohan yells, " Vegeta-chan who is it?"
"Oh it's no one important!" he says while leaning against the door crossed arm with a smirk on his face. "It's just Kakarott and …"he looks at the second visitor "and Bulma's brat child."
Everyone thinks he's joking like he usually does and they keep on eating until the two visitors enter the room.
"Hey guys," the first visitor says feeling hurt, "I would expect more than that!"
Everyone is so surprised they ask all the same question, "How are you back?" Trunks shrugs and says that they were talking in heaven and all of a sudden found themselves back on Earth.
"Hey, enough with the mushy feelings!" says Piccolo.
After catching up on the latest news, Trunks was depressed when he learned that his ex girl friend who he left when he died, fell for another guy. They also found out that Bulma was hiring a person to help around Capsule Corp and live with them.
A few months later, there was a knock at the door. " That must be her! Trunks dear, go open the door! My hands are occupied!" Trunks slowly opened he door only to be blinded by the beauty in front of him. A tall young girl around Trunks age entered. All the male warrior's eyes, including Piccolo, turned around and slowly moved their eyes starting with her feet and moving upwards.
She was wearing six inched black heeled boots that ended at her knee. Her outfit, which showed her shape perfectly was a short tight black leather skirt and a tight ¾ tube top that was tightened with one black string. Her long dark shiny hair was held up in a ponytail by a silver bra strap. Her dark crimson red lips and her blue moon sparkling eyes matched perfectly with her mocha skin. She looked into Trunks eyes and than turned to the bigger audience
Her long dark her bounced over her shoulder and brushed against Trunks cheek. "Hi I'm Paradise! I'm here to see Bulma-san," she said smiling
Yamcha, with drool running down his mouth whispered, "I don't know about you guys, but I think I'm in paradise." Bulma smacked his head while walking towards the visitor. Bulma introduced Paradise to the crew. Everyone got chills up their spine since they were astonished by how attractive she was.
Paradise was given a room near Trunks room. She even started joining Trunks, Goten and Bra at school. On the first day of school she was followed by a group of boys every where she went. She was incredibly smart and she could challenge Gohan in any subject. Trunks was the only one who did not pay as much attention, saying that she had the looks but she was probably like any other human girl. He knew he was wrong especially the night they were alone at Capsule Corp when he found out there was something about her that made her unique.
It all began when Trunks was walking down the hall way to his bedroom at night. He slowed down near her room and took a look inside her room and saw her delicate body lying on her bed reading. She raised her eyes from the book and looked straight at him and smiled. "Goodnight," she said. Trunks responded gloomily "Good night," and walked to his bed and lied down. What a stressed day of training! He closed his eyes only to find himself in his worst nightmare.
He was running down a garden of red roses with his heart racing to find something. For some odd reason, tears rolled down his cheek as he was crying out someone's name (he had no control over his dream body). Finally, the person he was looking for appeared in a white dress. He couldn't recognize the figure whom than said, "I love you," and kissed him. A variety of sensations flew through him that he had never felt. It was love: his love for Maron was so powerless compared to this love. A wind blew by and her long hair brushed his neck. Suddenly, she had disappeared into thin air and tears embraced his cheeks as his cries for her became louder. His last image was of the roses around him losing their petals.
He woke up sweating and screaming only to find Paradise holding him. She said, " You were screaming a lot so I decided to…," her voice drifted. They both realized that they were each wearing absolutely nothing: Trunks, his Calvin Klein boxers, and Paradise a red silk night gown with straps. She said hesitantly, "If you want I will go…,"he grabbed her arm as she was walking towards the door and pulled her delicately next to him. After a few minutes he said teasingly, "How are you enjoying your job here." She smiled and said, "It's great," she lowered her head to hide the tears running down her cheek, "You are like the family I never had!" A while later, when he asked where her family was, she exploded into tears. He kissed her forehead and brought her head to his chest to comfort her. She explained that a few months ago, she was found unconscious, due to a blow to the head. This had caused her to forget her real identity and family. She some how remembered that her name was Paradise.
They talked for hours about everything they could think about. Paradise found that beauty existed not only in the outside but also in the inside of Trunks and Trunks started believing that there was such a thing as an angel…an angel named Paradise.
Since that day, their friendship grew until secretly it became more than friendship to each of them. They missed each other when Trunks went searching for the Dragon Balls. Especially, Trunks who craved for the smile she would put on when opening the door of the training room with a box full of his favorite food. When they were together, most of their time was spent talking, teasing each other, joking around or even doing their homework together (she actually got him to do it!).
One day, Trunks decided to tell her that he loved her and that he wanted more than friendship. He could not stop the way he felt for her. It was like torture seeing her every single day and not being able to touch her silken lips. He was coming back from the flower shop, with some red roses to give her when he finally told her. He had planned everything out: the dbz crew were all going out for a few hours. Suddenly, He felt an evil source around capsule corp. As he grew closer, he saw that Huaru, one of DBZ's crew worst enemy because he was immortal and quite powerful. He was approaching the helpless Paradise who was reading quietly outside on the porch unaware of the evil around her. He sped up all the way to Huaru to give him a surprise attack. As they started fighting, Paradise stood defenselessly behind Trunks
Huaru knew that Trunks was one of the strongest and fastest and the biggest threat in the DBZ crew. While watching him carefully during the battle, he noticed how Trunks always kept an eye on the divine and angelic human behind him.
While Trunks was the least inattentive, Huaru threw a huge gigantic ball of power to this human girl standing helplessly.
"Noooooooooooooooooooooooo," Trunks screamed while looking at the explosion behind him. As the smoke cleared, Trunks saw that she hadn't survived. The explosion was so big that he couldn't make out where her body was. Huaru got took his shot at Trunks while he mourned her death. Trunks was thrown a few meters more near the explosion.
Meanwhile, Paradise finds herself floating in a bizarre place. "Am, I dead?" she says crying into her hands. A voice replies, "You are a long way from dead!" An older woman appears in a wonderful gown. "Hi Paradise," as she takes her hand, "I know this is difficult for you, but it is time." "Time for what?" Paradise asked, "Who are you and why does your voice sound so similar." The woman laughs and says, "Come here Paradise." She approaches her slowly. For a few minutes the older women looks at her silently and than says, "You shall remember everything now," and puts a ravishing diamond necklace on her neck. "I declare you the new guardian of the universe."
She saw all the visions of her past floating in her mind. She found herself hugging the lady as she remembered who she was, her mom. Quickly she remembered that she came from the planet of Esmier, which was located in the center of the universe. All the faces of the people from her childhood came back to her. She was the Queen of Beauty (that would explain why she was so beautiful) and the most powerful in the universe. Her powers kept growing until she would die which was never because she was immortal.
"Why did you send me to Earth" Paradise questioned her mom.
"I was frightened that they might come and take you away from me because they believed in the myth! As you already know, all the women in our family become guardians some time or the other. The myth said that a lovely baby girl would be born and would grow up to have extraordinary powers. She would me so mighty that she wold destroy all the evil of the universe easily. When the universe learned that I was pregnant, they were afraid that the myth would come true. I had already gotten a few threats so I decided that the best thing would be to send you of to the Earth, where your real identity would be preserved. I promised myself that when you were old enough, I would tell you the truth. The rest of the story will be told to you when you go back to rule your kingdom at Esmier. Now I must leave you for you have Trunks to save."
Paradise nodded and said, "Our time has been too short…will I ever see you again?"
Her mom smiled back and said, "I'm always in your heart," and faded gradually. Paradise felt herself drifting into another dimension until she found herself standing in the same place as before.
