Chapter 2: Mystery Revealed
' These were fond on the planet where I train, planet Nomok. Our god, Darina, said that these dragon balls
belong to Dende's planet, Earth. Since I was already heading here to test my skills, she let me take possession
of the dragon balls and to give them to Dende.' Keerah explained taking the dragon balls out.
' Whoa... No wonder last month your mom couldn't find them to restore the earth from the major earthquake...'
Goten told Trunks.
' Yeah. I wonder what caused it to travel so far' Trunks wondered holding the fourth ball. It was swiped out of
his hand by Vegita, who smirked.
' I see that woman has found the dragon balls for us. Your up' He looked at Trunks and he nodded.
' I guess its my turn again.. See ya!' Trunks got up and headed for the battlefield. Something in Keerah's
pockets beeped, and she got up.
' That's me against you' She thought and headed for her side.
Trunks quizzicly watched Keerah walk onto the court. ' Whats she doing?' He thought. Then he saw her do
some fancy moves and stop, in a fighting stance.
' Huh? I'm fighting you?' Trunks blurted.
Keerah blew a strand of loose silver hair out of her face and said in a devilish tone , ' Let's see what your made
of, saiyan' The bell rang, showing that it was time to start the battle. Trunks blinked a few times, and then flew
towards Keerah in concentration. Keerah straightened her back to a stand and pushed her arms out in front of
her.
' Emmese Koa--iii... Destruction!' Keerah yelled as her fingers spread out far away from each other. A wave of
invisible energy slammed into Trunks. He got up and shot upward to where Keerah was hovering.
' Nice move, Keerah.' Trunks commented and he started shooting ki blasts at her. Keerah dodged them easily,
but one caught her perfectly bare shoulder, singing it and causing it to bleed as the skin burst open. Keerah ripped
off a strap from her *already short* shirt, making it look like a bra, and tightened it around the wound. She sped
off towards Trunks, with a her fist clenched tightly.
Gohan and Vegita watched carefully at what was happening, this new girl from another planet that found the
dragon balls could fight pretty well, and keep after herself.
' Those fools are causing too much attention from the crowds from flying' Vegita snapped, looking at the crowd
watch in awe.
' But just look at them fight' Gohan commented looking back and forth from space to space, watching Trunks and
Keerah fight by so fast. ' And Keerah has amazing speed'...
Trunks spat out blood from the upper cut he recieved from Keerah, who wasn't even breaking out in a sweat. He
narrowed his eyes angrily, this girl from another *female like* planet was sent here for another purpose and she
was already beating him without a care. 'That does it, I'm gonna win this tournament.' He whispered.
' This ones for dad!' Trunks put his hands in front of him and yelled, ' Final Flash!' A huge beam shot between his
hands. Keerah raised an eyebrow then yelled out, ' Chi Kung Blasttt!!' With her good arm she grasped a ball of air
and energy went out of her body, and formed into her hand.
Both beams clashed, moving closer to their target then evening out. It kept on for a few seconds, then finally the
energy beams reached their point and exploded into both sides. Trunks pushed futher, foolish enough to try and
directly hit her once the explosion force made him fly back and land face down on the floor. Keerah was sent backwards,
slamming into the wall helplessly. Once the dust cleared out, everyone was eager to see who was left standing. Gohan
was sure Trunks would, but to his surprise none stood up.
Silience. Then the MC yelled. ' And folks, it seems that both Trunks and Keerah are left down! You know what that
means! Its a draw, and they'll both fight another time for a chance! Here comes the CC first aid!'
Two men and a strecher went towards each fallen warrior, taking them to the first aid. The Son & Briefs family rushed
into the hospital wing, where Trunks and Keerah were resting from their injuries.
Goten rushed into the room where they both were in, and immidiatly asked how Trunks was.
Trunks weakly lifted his head and nodded lightly. ' I'm okay. My legs feel paralyzed..' Bulma ran in crying, pushing
past everyone and hugged her son with dear life.
' Oh my Trunks! I knew I should've never let you enter, look at you! Oh my poor poor son!' Bulma cried swaying
back and forth.
Trunks uttered, ' I can't --- breath!' Bulma reluctantly released her grasp and dabbed her tears. She turned to Vegita,
who was at Keerah's bed, who was now tossing in the covers.
' Vegita?' Bulma asked concered.
' Wake up!' Vegita boomed yelling in her ear. Keerah's eyebrows went down and she frowned eyes still closed.
Annoyed, he yelled even louder. ' WAKE UP!!' His voice shook the walls. Keerah sat up so quick Vegita didn't see
her slap coming.
' Leave me alone!' Keerah growled crossing her arms.
Stunned, Vegita regained his confidence angrily. Trunks gasped, he would never have the nerve to do that..
' Get up!' Vegita snarled. Keerah stared at him with narrowed eyes and slowly moved out of bed. Her arm stinged,
but with the bandages in place it put more pressure so she couldn't feel it. She stood up, face to face with him. The
wind picked up from the open windows and her hospital gown fluttered, revealing something Trunks or Goten have
never seen her have before.
' Explain this' Vegita grabbed her tail, squeezing it on purpose. Keerah's face twisted in pain, her falling to the floor
on her knees.
' Father stop it!' Trunks yelled in concern. Vegita smiled evily and squuezed some more, then released his firm grip
on her tail. Keerah weakly panted, glaring at Vegita.
' Who the hell are you?' She panted getting up.
' Your King.' He answered smugly.
Keerah narrowed her jade eyes and back away from Vegita fearfully, nervously bumping into the bed she was before
resting in.
' You c-can't be K-King Vegita! You died long ago!' Keerah stuttered.
' That was my father. I am now King Vegita and now my son is Prince Trunks' Vegita said proudly. ' And I have an
intellegent Princess Bra, and my mate Queen Bulma' he added noticing he left out the females.
' So you used to be Prince Vegita?I know Queen Bulma, Princess Bra - she curtesied - but.... Where's Prince Trunks?'
Keerah asked searching the room, she already knew who the two blue haired woman were. Vegita stepped back so Keerah could see the purple haired boy she was fighting. ' I never found out his name anyhow.. Who is he?' She thought.
Trunks blushed as Keerah confusingly looked at him. She looked back at Vegita, his pose and arrogant smile. ' No
way-I've been fighting....' She whispered finally getting it.
Keerah slapped her hand over her mouth in astonishment. ' Oh god. I'm so sorry King Vegita, Prince Trunks.' She
genuflected and stayed down waiting for them to call her up.
' That is the kind of treatment the royal family deserves for once. You may stand, Keerah Red.' Vegita said proudly.
Bulma and Gohan grumbled. Keerah rose.
' I'm very sorry for causing so much trouble, King Vegita. Is there anything I can do?' Keerah asked standing motionlgess.
' Hmm. Now that you mentioned it - ' Vegita snickered.
' Oh no you don't! Vegita you are not going to wish for immortality no way the Earth needs them!' Bulma exploded.
Vegita grumbled, unsatisfied. ' Fine then, no wishes. Where have you come from?'
' I come from planet Nomok. Our god sent me here to give Dende, Earth's God, the dragon balls back. There seems to
be a problem - she said that she couldn't transport them back because they would just dissappear and return back at
Nomok. I wasn't expecting your family, your highness.' She answered, just like she was answering a question in school.
' And how come your a saiyan? Who is your father?' Goten asked.
' I have no idea. When I was a baby I was sent to Nomok to destroy its species, but I guess I never did my mission..
A small Namekan teenage boy, who told me his nickname was Colo, raised me until he left for some reason to his home
planet. I was trained, given more experience, to protect Nomok adn the rest of the warriors.' She told them braiding her
hair. Gohan had taken more interest on this Namekan boy, he thought he knew who it was.
Gohan stepped forward. ' Did *Colo* tell you his real name?'
' No, but I do remember him saying that he was ashamed of it because it was an instrument, although I never
understood what he meant...' At this time Vegita lost interest and left without saying a word.
' So it was Piccolo....' Gohan muttured.
' Did somebody mention my name?'
Everyone turned around to see Piccolo, wearing his Namek traditional clothing. Keerah's eyes went wide open and
she screamed.
' Colo! Oh god I missed you for such a long time!' She hugged him, not noticing the sweat drops and the look on his
face.
' Keerah?' He asked not believing who it really was.
' Aei...' She released her hug and shook his hand formally.
' I never knew Earth was that nice for everyone to be living on it.' Keerah commented looking at everybody.
' Yeah well, its a small universe' Trunks joked. Keerah smiled, she felt so comfortable, she was around her kind finally.
' I think I'll change - I don't feel so comfy in these loose things.' Keerah commmented feeling the ruff fabric.
' Oh honey your clothing is in the waiting room. Let me show you the way to the bathrooms' Bulma led her to the
bathrooms and picked up her clothing.
Keerah courtisied again, thanked her, and fished through her jeans pocket for a small packet. She pressed it, and
threw it to the floor. Bulma thought, ' Why,thats just like how we use capsules...' Her newest clothing layed in a neat
pile, and Keera grabbed them and changed.
Piccolo waited outside, being stared at by passerby's. Gohan went up to him.
' Why didn't you ever tell us you met a saiyan before?' Gohan asked.
' You never asked.' Piccolo grunted.
Gohan looked around then whispered with a smile ' She does look like your style - don't tell me you don't like her!?'
Piccolo twitched, then gave a straight face and looked at the wall in front of him. ' I never looked at her that way
Gohan, and never will. I was her mentor, just like you. We carry no relationships between us' Gohan looked at his
mentor and smiled, then walked away.
' I still think you do..' Gohan muttered, making sure Piccolo could hear him. Piccolo frowned, but deep inside of him
when he saw Keerah all grown up, he thought she had evolved beautifully. He looked up to see Bulma come out,
talking about Trunks' fighting skills, with Keerah changed into a tube top that showed off her tattoo that surprised
her, and wearing shorts.
Keerah glanced at Piccolo, seeing his frown, and sat down next to him. ' Colo, can I talk to you somewhere?' Piccolo
nodded, and Keerah explained to Bulma that they were going to catch up on old times. She courtisied again.
' Keerah, you don't have to do that for us. Its not a big deal, only Vegita and Trunks take it seriously. Well actually
Vegita only.. Now you two go talk' She left. Keerah happily turned back to Piccolo, and nodded with her head. He
followed her eyes, and the flew out the window. Piccolo followed her, and she led him to a deserted hilltop. They
both landed cross-legged, meditation-style with their eyes closed.
Keerah breathed in deeply. ' Colo.'
A grunt came in reply.
' What happened to Namek?'
After a while he hadn't responded, Keerah grew impatient but remembered his ways.
He spoke up. ' It was destroyed'
Keerah nodded. ' Then why is your residence here?'
Piccolo opened an eye, looking at Keerah with interest. She seemed to have lots of questions today. ' I was training
the world's strongest, Gohan.'
' Ah. Great power lies in him, coming from his father's strength...' Keerah nodded. She opened her eyes and crouched
up to Piccolo until she was in front of him. Piccolo's heart was racing. ' What in Dende's sake is wrong with me? I
thought I never liked woman'
Keerah looked into Piccolo's eyes and placed her hands on his face. She cradled his face in her hands, lost in some
thought. ' You've changed. I can see it in your face, your body, your strength, your voice.' Piccolo looked down at her
jade eyes, that started to blur.
A tear glinted in the sunlight, and fell down her cheek. She hugged him and whispered. ' Its been so long since I saw
you...' Piccolo akwardly placed his hands on her shoulders and hugged her back. Besides, he did miss those times they
shared. He was like the young teacher, and she was like his baby sister.....
' These were fond on the planet where I train, planet Nomok. Our god, Darina, said that these dragon balls
belong to Dende's planet, Earth. Since I was already heading here to test my skills, she let me take possession
