All right, Sita-chan is coming back to writing this thing. I'm sorry for the wait, but I've wanted to finish a few stories first because everything was getting waaaay to hectic. There might be a long pause again for the return of another chapter, for I still have to finish The Legendary, but please be patient. This story is NOT going to end if I have anything to say about it!
Onni swayed around in conscious and unconscious, coming to only to give in and going out again. He was in a dreamless state. A void. Nothing but blackness behind his eyelids. He wished he would have nightmares, just to know that maybe he could recall what had happened earlier. He remembered flying…high above the clouds, feeling bad for himself…No, sorry for himself…The memory wasn't all to pleasant besides the flying part.
At one point or another, Onni did come to slowly. First it was muffling, a shuffle almost. Like someone had put headphones over his ears and he couldn't hear much around him. Then came some voices, but their words were still incoherent. He knew they left when there was silence. There was silence for a long time.
During that time, Onni tried to recall simple things. He remembered why he was feeling bad, why he was out in the open. Oh and he remembered a camp or something being attacked. Not much after that…
More voices now. A male and a female. They're words were coming in clearer now, and Onni could make out a few of them.
" …Long?"
" Two…His…Yeah I know…amazing…"
" …Good to hear. Maybe…"
" Sure…come…hours."
Onni gave up. It was too much of a strain. Instead, he fell back into unconsciousness.

" Where is he!?" Yamcha yelled at Tein who just shook his head. They stood in the middle of the Lookout with Oolong, Puar, Master Roshi, and Turtle sitting at the steps of the golden building. Yamcha had been pacing with worry, having returned a lot earlier from his search for a special boy.
" I don't know," the third eye man answered. " We've searched everywhere."
Yamcha ran a hand through his black hair with a heavy sigh. He was surprised his hair hadn't turned gray with all the stress that was piling up. Onni wasn't ready for any sort of battle, the Prince had returned to Earth for who knows what reason, training was going slack and…oh yeah, Onni had been missing for two days. What if the Saiyans had him? Yamcha hung his head. The boy really was Yamcha's last hope.
" What do we do now?" Oolong asked.
Before Yamcha could answer, a familiar green form landed on the lookout, looking gruff and tired. Kamiccolo.
" Anything?" Yamcha asked weakly.
" Nothing," Kamiccolo said, sounding as tired as he looked. " We'll just have to wait."
With a nod and no words, Yamcha turned back around and headed for the palace. He was going to do something he hadn't done in years…pray (1).

Somebody was shaking Onni's shoulder lightly. The boy moaned in reply and tried to move away so he could go diving back into oblivion. He didn't want to wake up, especially to what might await him. There were two things that he could be sure of: One, he was not at the Lookout. The cold that always occupied the place was not there and the air was a lot easier to breathe. So he must have been still close to Earth. Second: He was badly injured. After a few occurrences of consciousness, Onni found out that his arm had been severely damaged and he couldn't feel his left leg…that probably wasn't a good thing.
So it was evident that he had fought someone. Most likely the Saiyans, but why did he fight them? He wasn't nearly ready to kick their asses and he hadn't wanted to the fight in the first place. Onni sighed. Maybe he even got captured…the thought was a terrible one. If he was taken, they would clearly play and torment him…They might even ask questions of what other rebels there might be. Onni knew he didn't have the strength to stand up against them. And after all their questions, they might torture him some more before killing him off like another worthless human to add to the ranks. The thought was even more disturbing.
Again, his shoulder was shook, a little bit rougher. Onni grunted in protest and tried to move away but it seemed he had moved to the edge of the bed. Sighing, Onni gave up from trying to get away from the pestering hand. Might as well face what he would have to sooner or later.
Onni opened his eyes slowly and looked over with a heavy heart. What he saw though was quite astounding. Instead of expecting to see evil black eyes glaring at him, he saw gentle caring ones belonging to a rather small face. Continuing his examination, he saw that the boy was rather short and bald, except for 6 yellow dots on his head, indicating that he was once a monk of some religion. Onni blushed lightly when he realized he had mistaken a boy for a grown up man. The thing is was the man was short! Onni was sure that he was as tall as him though so he guessed that didn't make much of a difference to him…
" Who are you?" Onni asked hoarsely. He winced when he heard his voice. It was scratchy and weak. It felt so dry too that he thought he hadn't had any water for a whole month. Funny how it was that he hadn't notice this until now, when he opened his mouth.
" Hold on," the man said gently. Onni noticed that he had a nice voice. It was kind of gruff and coughy as his was now, but it had a gentle tone to it. Onni guessed that the man's voice had grown this way over the years of the Saiyans' rule. Anyone would grow hard and stern under their firm grasp…even a monk.
The man turned back around and handed Onni a glass of water. Onni took it, none to eagerly and gulped it down just as eagerly. It was gone in 3.4 seconds…Onni had kept count in his head.
" Oh thank you…" Onni murmured, his eyes closed once again as he relished the sweet aftertaste of water. His mouth felt so much better, as did his voice.
" No, we should really be thanking you," the monk said and his gratitude was nearly soaked with his words.
Onni opened his eyes and looked over, " What? Why?"
" Don't you remember?" The monk asked as he sat down on a small wooden stool…it was probably used a lot while this man took care of him. Suddenly, Onni was the one filled with gratitude. This man had kept and took care of him with no questions asked and he was thankful? Thankful for what?
" No," Onni said shaking his hand.
" You killed the Saiyans!" The monk said excitedly. Onni blinked in complete surprise. " One handedly! We would have been dead by now if it weren't for you. How can you not remember that?"
" I-no-Wait," Onni stuttered, starting one sentence that continuing a different one. " You must be mistaken…"
" No doubt about it," the monk said, refusing Onni's explanations that he could have been someone else. " I saw you with my own eyes. Of course, the Saiyans also did a number on you as well."
" I don't understand this…" Onni mumbled, his head overloading with images, thoughts, denial, acceptance…
" You look tired," the man said understandingly. " We'll let you rest."
" We?" Onni echoed.
" Oh yes," the man nodded and smiled. " You saved a whole camp. We're runaways. That's why the Saiyans were after us." He got up then and started to leave, but Onni once again called him back.
" What's your name?" Onni asked curiously.
" Oh, I'm sorry!" The monk said and walked back, hand outstretched to shake Onni's own. " I'm Krillin!"
Onni smiled warmly and took the friendly hand, " I'm Onni."
