Kianna tried to summon a beast of the dark to defeat Freiza's men but found herself unable to say the words. The dog man smiled.
"Poor Kianna, I'm guessing Crosis didn't teach you about the runes of protection." The dog man then pulled out an amulet that had a strange symbol on it. "This small amulet is a rune of protection. Each of my men are wearing one similar to this that will protect them from your rune craft."
Kianna bit her lip. Crosis had told her of those runes and how they cancel out shadow magic but he also told her that they were quite expensive and rare. Kianna looked at her children. Two guards stood by Klesso and Matako. Three stood by Satako and Anyssa. Buno walked over to Kianna. Kianna stepped back.
"Kianna I don't know who to kill first." Buno looked over to the children. "You or the children."
Anyssa held on to Satako's leg. Klesso stood by Matako and glared at the dog man. Kianna looked at her children and back at Buno. There was no hope. Without the use of her magic she and her children where defenseless. If they were all to die then so be it, but she would not be the last to live. She could not bear to see her children die. If she did she would crumble to pieces and take her own life. So she mustered all of her physical strength and charged Buno. Buno saw her and dodged her punches and kicks easily. He then blasted her into the ground. Kianna felt pain all over, she felt as though she were to die. And then slowly darkness fell upon her eyes. She heard screams and then only silence.

Marron(aka Marika 0-o) smiled as she finished doing some warm ups. It was 3 am and Marron(aka Marika 0-o) couldn't sleep. She was too happy to be out of the Mid and on her way towards revenge. Everyone still believed she was Marron except for Vegeta's daughter and the stupid mate of hers who seemed to sense something wasn't correct with their friend Marron. But who cares they aren't going to say anything towards the grieving Marron, their dear friend who lost both of her parents in the same night. Marron(aka Marika 0-o) then let out a small laugh, the real Marron has no idea of what is happening and never would.

Kianna felt cold and empty. Was this how the afterlife felt? Was this heaven? Was it hell? She felt too tired to open her eyes. Pain coursed through her body as she took in a long breath of air. She had to be in hell. But then something warm touched her. Something warm and gentle. It felt as though someone was caressing her back with something that soothed her pain. She then smelt an aroma. A sweet and comforting aroma. One that made her breathing easier and less painful. She heard whispering. Were spirits around her? She wondered. Where was she?

Juuhachigou and Krillen's funeral was two days after their death. All of the Senshi the new and the old attended. The two caskets one with a body and the other with ashes and a few bones in it were buried next to each other. Marron(aka Marika 0-o) laid a rose on each grave. Following were Tien, Chaotzu, Yamcha, and Bulma who laid white roses on the graves. Vegeta stood back by a tree. Thoughts ran through his head. 'It didn't add up, why where they killed? Krillen was just a small, bald-headed man who wasn't even half as strong as Vegeta. And that tin can of a wife of his was just an android that was stronger but still a pathetic fighter. 'Was this the doings of the new enemy? And if so why did they kill the two?'
"So Vegeta, pondering something?" Vegeta turned to see 17. 17's face was colder than usual.
"Their deaths," grumbled Vegeta, "It makes no sense."
"That's about the same answer I came up with," 17 left Vegeta to pay his last respects to his sister and brother in law.

Crosis held unto his wife, Kianna. She smiled. There in front of them played their two children. "Kianna, you know I love you more than anything don't you?"
"Yes Crosis I know you do."
"Good, then I have something to tell you before you leave."
"leave? What do you mean?" Kianna hugged Crosis tighter.
"It is not your time yet my love." Crosis said soothingly.
"But, the children…" Crosis kissed her.
When he pulled back she was silent. "They are dead, but they are innocents and have not been marked by evil so they will live on in heaven, with me. That is why I plead to you to not seek Revenge. It will only lead to your destruction. Please my love promise me that you will not seek vengeance."
"But they killed you all…" cried Kianna.
"They will pay, trust me," spoke Crosis. Kianna bit her lip. "Please Kianna promise me, there isn't much time. I love you Kianna. I truly do." And thus the images faded away.

Goten grinned happily as Bra brought out a plate with a towering pile of pancakes. "Thank you Bra!" after smothering the pancakes in butter and syrup Goten began to devour it. With his mouth full Goten looked up at Bra who seemed not to have even taken a bite of her pancakes. She looked upset. He swallowed the food. "Bra are you ok?"
Bra stared up from her plate to her husband's big innocent onyx eyes. "I'm concerned Goten," she paused as she twisted the napkin in her hand. "About Marron, I don't know it's just that, I don't know what is wrong with her."
"There is something strange with her, but it might just be their deaths. Although I'm not so certain."
"About her parents death, don't you think it's odd that not once since then she hasn't called me?" Bra grumbled.
Goten sighed.
Bra stared at her husband sadly. "Its just that, Marron seems so distant and strange to me, she even worries me sometimes. Like at the funeral, she seemed sad and she cried but was it all fake a ploy to make us think she was sad, and.."
"And if it worries you, then maybe we should go talk to her. Have a group excursion day. Then talk to her, and see if there is something else that is bothering her."
Bra smiled. "You are very wise sometimes my dear Goten." Bra then laughed.
Goten was stunned, "Hey! I'm a very intelligent person."

Kianna awoke with a grumble that startled two figures that were sitting in chairs. Kianna looked at the room she was in. It seemed to be a cave of some sort. A fire roared in a corner of the room. Tables littered with different items were scattered around the room.
"Where am I?" Kianna tried to set up but yelped in pain her stomach ached. She laid back into a semi soft yet lumpy bed.
"Your awake I see." Spoke an old woman with dirty gray hair. Her clothes also had stains all over it. And her eyes where a dusty green with a yellowish waxy film that faded the green even more. Scars covered the left side of her face, but a sense of warmth radiated from her smile.
"Its okay my dear, you are safe here." Spoke a bald old man with tattered clothes. His eyes looked as though they where sunken in and were a dark brown.
"Where am I? Please tell me."
The old woman laughed. "You are in me and my husbands underground home. We are jewel miners. Those men who attacked you won't find it. Unless they figure out our maze, which is nearly impossible."
The old man laughed at his wife and then sighed.
"What?" asked Kianna.
The old man scratched his head "I'm sorry to tell you this miss, but the two young children who were with you died. We buried them for you. But the two older children are alive although they probably wished they weren't."
Kianna gasped, her children, her son and daughter. "where are their graves..." she said grimly.
The old man shook his head. "you are not strong enough miss to do anything right now."
Then the old woman spoke up. "The two older boys you were with are alive for the time my dear."
She forgot about Matako and Satako. She bent her head down in defeat. The old woman placed a hand on her shoulder.
"You are in no shape to be moved right now. Just rest and in a few days you can see them." The old man said.
"Don't worry those two kids seem strong, they won't die. Now get some rest." Then the two exited the room as Kianna faded into a deep slumber.
The old man closed the door and glared at his wife. He whispered angrily at her. "You know as well as I that those two children won't make it through the night."
The old woman sighed. "I didn't want her to have to much grief at one time. You know that's how your sister died."
"Hmph, my sister was a crazy old hoot anyway. Besides you still had no right to lie to her. Better she knows now, then later." The old man pointed a finger to her. "And when those two boys die you are going to tell her about their deaths." The old man then left. The old woman sighed and went to check on the two boys.

The real Marron moaned. Her body, no, her soul was weak, so weak. There was nothing Marron could do except think, think of her life.
*Flash back
"Mommy!!!" squealed a chibi version of Marron with blond piggy tails and a pink polka-dotted dress. A slightly younger looking Juuhachigou ran to Marron and scooped her up. "I found you." Marron giggled. "Mommy now you hide!" 18 put the little girl down. "ok, but only count to ten." The little girl agreed and closed her eyes. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, ready or not here I come." Marron ran around the outside of Kami's house looking for her mother. As Marron searched around she heard a snap. Marron ran towards the sound and looked up in a palm tree. "I found you mommy!" Juuhachigou faked a look of being surprised but the chibi version of Marron bought it. Juuhachigou jumped down and sat by the tree. Marron sat by her mother. Juuhachigou looked at her daughter, "You know Marron, you are a very smart girl and you can probably be anything you want to be when you grow up, within reason of course." Marron grinned. "I already know what I want to be!" Juuhachigou was surprised and smiled. "What would that be?" Marron hugged her mom. "I wanna be just like you! The strongest and best mommy in the world!" Juuhachigou hugged Marron and if one looked close they could see tears of happiness in her eyes.
*End of Flash back
"Mommy…." Cried Marron silently.

In the capsule corp. kitchen Marron(aka Marika 0-o) while drinking some tea was contemplating what to do about Bra and the dimwit Goten (I'm not trying to bash Goten ^-^***) when the telephone rang. After two rings she decided to pick it up. "Uh, hello?"
"Hi, Marron? Umm its me Bra…" Bra seemed nervous, Marron(aka Marika 0-o) smiled.
"What is it Bra?" Marron(aka Marika 0-o) spoke softly.
"Want to go shopping with me, Pan, Trunks and Goten tomorrow?" Marron(aka Marika 0-o) grinned. This would be perfect, she could probably kill both of them, leaving less people to fight in the end. "Sure, I'd be greatful, I can't sob my life away because of my parents death now can I?"
"Um… yeah I guess you can't, well then I'll pick you up both tomorrow at noon, we'll have lunch and then go to the malls. Bye." Then Bra hung up. Marron(aka Marika 0-o) hung up the phone.
Marron(aka Marika 0-o) smiled, 'Thank you Bra for saving me time.'
