Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z don't belong to me. But my birthday is
coming up, so if the true owners wanted to give them to me as a
birthday present, I'd be glad to accept!
Chapter 2: The Crash
Days had passed, and 14 never woke. Bulma couldn't find any
reason for her condition, and the stress level inside the Capsule Corp.
building that was their home grew to a nearly intolerable level.
Android 17 had begun vanishing for longer and longer periods of time,
and though no one was sure why, no one stopped him either. They were
all too afraid that if he remained at the CC building, he and Vegita
would end up killing each other.
Umi remained silent about what she had seen. She wasn't sure
what it was between the two women that she noticed, and she didn't want
to worry anyone or build up their hopes until she could figure it out.
Trunks had escaped the confines of the Capsule Corp building
not long ago, searching for some peace. It was one of the rare times
that both 17 and Vegita were home at the same time, and the fighting
had needed to be taken to the gravity room. Even there, the sounds and
effects of their argument could be heard and felt. No one was sure what
their reason to fight was this time, but Trunks suspected it was
something small such as bumping into each other.
The place he had found was about five miles outside of the
city, and the closest home was more then two miles away. He had driven
there and the radio in the car was on as he laid back in the grass,
looking at the sky.
"I wish something would happen. I mean, we've always been able
to figure out what was going on in the past. Why can't we now?" he
asked out loud, thinking about the problems they were all facing right
now. Sighing, he shook his head and closed his eyes. "Maybe we should
go see Kami about it."
Trunks didn't move for several moments and began to fall
asleep. The music was playing loudly off to the side, and even if it
was for a short time, it felt like he could just relax.
He was just dozing off when a crash overcame even the volume of the
radio. Trunks sat up in surprise, wondering what it was that had made
the noise. A brief search of the surrounding area gave him no sign as
to what had made the sound, and as he stood up to try and see more, all
he got was the sound of breaking tree limbs. Without another thoughts,
he flew into the air and followed the sounds of destruction.
Seitou cursed as she stood outside the small pod that had
dropped her onto the Earth surface. She had come alone, knowing that of
all the guards that were familiar with Shis, she had had far more
experience then anyone else. As well, one was much easier to hide then
five or twenty. Now, though, she was wondering if she should have
accepted the offer of the Pelo guard. The ki-less, strong, stupid
creatures they called the Pelo were looking better every moment. Now
that all of her weapons and belongings had burned up, that is.
She reached down to her belt for the small box all of her race carried.
If she couldn't do anything about the wreckage, the least she could do
was feed herself. It wouldn't help anyone if she were to revert to her
feline form. But as her palm fell in its smoothed surface, she felt no
rush of ki flow through her fingers. Jerking her hand away, she looked
down at the box she always wore. It looked perfectly fine from the
outside, but it obviously was not fine.
"Shimatta!" she cried, pulling the box off her belt to take a
closer look at it. 'It must have been hit in the crash.' She threw it
down to the ground in frustration before taking a look around. 'No one
will miss a few forest animals,' she thought, sighing. 'This will make
my mission far more difficult if I have to rely on those low ki
creatures though.'
It was at that point she felt an extremely high power level
approaching, and quickly. She looked around, and then up. It was coming
from the sky. But she had no real choice. The only cover that would
hide her from the approaching threat was up in the trees. Without
thinking twice, she called upon her true nature and quickly climbed up
the thick trunk of the closet tree and hid. And just in time, as well.
For within moments of finding the perfect perch, a lavender haired man
landed on the ground near the remains of her pod.
'This is exactly what Shis will be looking for,' she thought as
she watched the stranger examine the crash. 'But all records of this
planet show that even the most powerful creatures on this planet aren't
this strong! Why is he here?'
Trunks circled the wreckage once more, trying to find some sign
as to what and where its occupant was. The problem was, he couldn't
find a single trace of the being that had been inside.
"Maybe it was empty," he said to himself, frowning. It didn't
make much sense, but maybe it was true. Whatever the reason, there were
no signs of a survivor or fatality. "Very strange."
'Damn it!' Seitou cursed to herself. The energy she had wasted
hiding from the stranger was too much for her already growing hunger,
and the lavender haired man was growing more and more tempting with
every moment. 'I bet this is how Shis started. A broken box and a ki
source like that so close.' She closed her eyes against the temptation,
but she could practically still taste it. Trying to ward off some of
her hunger, she placed her hands on the tree she was in. As the moments
passed, she could feel leaves begin to fall past her cheeks, dead and
dry. She opened her eyes again, sighing. She would be able to resist
for a while longer until she could get a stronger source. Now if that
man could just leave, she would be fine.
It was at that point that she realized her sudden intense
hunger had caused her to forget to think. Dark, startled eyes met her
own through what had previously been a screen of green leaves.
"This day just keeps getting worse and worse," she muttered to
herself. She closed her eyes and felt like hitting her head against the
tree trunk. It was then she felt it. Soft hairs sprouting out over her
hands and arms. Raising her fingers to her ears, she felt the pointed
tip rise up and away from her head. A deep purple colored tail had
already begun to grow from her lower back.
"Of course," she said, grumbling, as she fully reverted. The
tree had not been enough to hold back the change. 'Well, at least I
won't have to find out of the animals of this planet are poisonous to
me for a while. The tree at least gave me that much.'
Trunks felt like rubbing his eyes as he saw the woman change
into a purple cat. It was larger then a normal cat, but smaller then
any of the wild cats he knew about. And he had the impression that she
had been the one in the pod. As he watched, she met his eyes with the
piercing gaze cats always seemed to give.
'He's already seen me. I probably have a better chance of
keeping my presence here unknown to Shis if he knows who I am and what
I'm doing. But how in hell am I supposed to tell him?!' Seitou jumped
to the ground and sat in front of the stranger. She figured the best
thing to do was to follow him. If she came across a lower life form
that had enough energy, she could take on her normal appearance and
tell him of the situation. Until then, she had to make sure she didn't
loose track of him.
Trunks took a step back when the cat jumped to the ground and
prepared himself to fight. When no attack came, he began to relax. He
wasn't sure what to do though. He was still curious about the pod, and
it didn't look like the shape-changer was in a situation to explain
things to him.
Several minutes passed with the two looking at each other
silently, thoughts and plans of action running through both minds. It
was the half-Saiyajin that took the first step though.
He had decided what best to do was to show the pod to his
parents. His mother could figure out information about the technology,
while his father might have knowledge of the species his companion was.
He was hesitant to leave the feline there, but he wasn't sure
what else he could do. So, moving so he could watch the cat as long as
possible, he turned toward home and flew off.
Seitou cursed as she tried to run off after the man. She could
fly in her humanoid form, but she just didn't have enough ki in her
feline form to do so. She watched him fly further and further off. As
she reached the edge of the forest, she lost complete sight of him.
Sitting on the ground, she rethought her actions. She couldn't follow
the man until she found enough energy to regain her normal form, and by
then, she didn't even know if she would be able to locate his ki
signature.
It was at that point the sound of music reached her ears.
Turning her head so she could see the source, she found a primitive
vehicle sitting in the middle of the clearing, not far from what looked
like a road. No one was around, yet the door was wide open and the
radio on full.
'Maybe I won't have to go find him,' she thought to herself as
she stood and padded her way over to the vehicle. Hopping through the
open door, she curled herself up on the floor in the back to wait.
Emerald green eyes gazed at the blue-green planet, grinning
coldly. He could feel that the planet was practically overflowing with
what could hardly be considered even snacks. But an island that sat off
the largest continent felt ripe for the picking. And it was to this
place he began to drift slowly down to.
Anyone else completely lost yet? *chuckle* Don't worry. The
next chapter will answer a lot of the questions you probably have. A
few I'll keep for later chapters though. *evil grin*
Hope you liked! Write me, or leave a review please!
