"How long has it been?" Jesscheaux asked.
"Hmmmm?" Piccolo looked up from his meditative stance.
"You know, how long have we been in this time chamber?"
"Oh, well, Jesscheaux, I think it's been six months, I just lose all track of time when I'm in here."
"Six months? Already? It seems as only a week has passed."
"Yeah, time flies when you're with the one you love." Piccolo answered and looked over at the Spectronian shyly.
Jesscheaux smiled, "You're too much Piccolo, do you know that?"
Piccolo nodded and stood.
Jesscheaux sighed.
"What is it? Is there something wrong?" Piccolo asked.
"Oh, not really I guess. It's just that I'm really anxious about our upcoming fight with Newton." she answered hesitantly.
"No, you're hiding something, I can sense it. Tell me, Jesscheaux."
"You got me there."
"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked as he walked over and sat next to her on the floor.
She leaned her head on his shoulders and grasped his hand in hers. "I'm not sure if I'm ready to."
Piccolo sensed her thoughts and asked: "Is it all that bad?"
"Depends on how you look at it."
"Well, I'm here for you, Jesscheaux. Everything's going to be allright." he told her as he put his arm around her and began stroking her hair, which was currently purple. She responded by reaching up and caressing one of his antennae, as she stared into his deep onyx eyes. She loved him, and she wanted to share everything with him. Jesscheaux then decided the time had come to reveal her past.
"Piccolo, I think I'm ready now." she announced.
"Go for it."
"I am born of a most unusual race. There is no black or white, we are all connected. Color is not a factor in judging one another, or in day to day life. Every Spectronian has the ability to color-shift. It is both a voluntary and involuntary action that we all do. I loved my home planet. It's beauty was astounding and we all lived in great peace and harmony for as long as I could remember. My childhood was a happy one, for the most part. The first memory I can recall is Pulsar, Reyanne, and I , playing outside in the grass together. My youngest brother, Collin, wasn't born yet."
"Tell me about your family." Piccolo requested, intrigued at the idea.
"Well there's my mom, Aleeson, and my Dad, Leray. They're wonderful people and I loved them very much. You know about Reyanne, she's my younger sister. I have a younger brother named Collin, who loved any type of extreme sports. He would've been a great I tell you."
"You mentioned someone named Pulsar earlier, is he your brother too?"
"No, but he is, was, a part of my family. Pulsar's the same age as me. My parents found him as a baby on their doorstep. We took him in and raised him. Pulsar was my very best friend. We had such wonderful times together on Spectrum."
"Did you love him?" Piccolo asked hesitantly.
"Very much. But if you mean it in the way I love you, no. He was just like a brother to me."
"Go on."
"Ok, well life was grand for years as I grew older and began my training as a warrior. Still, there was something in the atmosphere; a great mystery that still hangs in the air to this day. When I turned 16 I learned of the darkside. The darkside is an evil group of Spectronians headed by Newton, the son of the late King Katera. They terrorized us, searching everywhere trying to convert the whole planet to their fiendish ways. Newton, who is my age also, came to our village as he was making his rounds looking for members to join the darkside. He and his brother, Isacc, found Pulsar and I one day and tried to get us to join them. We wouldn't be swayed; at least for the time being. We constantly refused, but everyday they would come back and try to get me. Newton became very attached to me and one day fell upon his knees and declared his undying love for me. I, needless to say, was completely shocked."
"What happened?"
"I refused his proposal of marriage. Still, everyday he would come back and plead with me, claiming that if I joined with him, I would be Queen of the universe and have anything I wanted. Never, I said, I would not, could not, ever love him or become his queen. One day, his visits stopped, and instead he sent me love letters telling me his whereabouts and how much
he missed me and the like. He needed to campaign for more members of the darkside so that's how he stayed in touch with me. I would read each letter and in disgust burn them one by one. Newton eventually came to visit me one last time and once again pleaded his case. I, of course, refused him, AGAIN, and he gave up. He looked at me forlornly and told me he would always love me and never give up hope. Newton said, if I ever changed my mind he would be waiting. With that he took off and I haven't seen him since."
"Jesscheaux, I never knew........."Piccolo was at a loss for words.
"That's why I'm telling you now. Piccolo, listen, I will NEVER EVER love anyone but you for as long as there is an eternity. You can count on that. I'm glad that I waited for you, and we'll be together forever."
Piccolo's heart was so overcome with emotion that all he could do was smile down at her.He leaned over and kissed her on the forehead gently.
Jesscheaux smiled back at him and said: "Well, I guess I should finish my story."
"Yeah, go ahead." Piccolo whispered.
"One day, I awoke early, ready to start training. I went to awaken Pulsar and found his room empty. I searched and searched but anywhere I looked I couldn't find him. We set up a search party, but no one else had any luck either: Pulsar had disappeared. To this day, I don't know what happened to him or where he is."
"I'm sorry, Jesscheaux." said Piccolo solemnly.
"Me too. And so on I trained for about 2 more years. That's when it happened. I will never forget that day, or what I was feeling: The day Spectrum was destroyed.
It all came so suddenly, the ground shook and rocks began flying everywhere. Our technology told us that Spectrum was about to explode. Many of my people tried to escape in pods. My family's pod was really small and only held three people. Reyanne and I sent our parents and Collin off in it and we found space helmets and cleared the atmosphere just as the explosion occurred.
I don't know if my family survived or not. And even if they did, where are they? Will I ever find them? Those questions keep pounding in my head every day. I mean, what if I don't make it through this battle? What if earth is destroyed? The future holds so many things for us, Piccolo but what they are is a great mystery indeed."
"Your past, my past, they all seem to connect somehow" Piccolo mused. "Lost people, lost families, and great enemies. I believe that destiny has brought us together for such a time as this."
"I think you're right, Piccolo." Jesscheaux answered.
"Jesscheaux, I just want to thank you for sharing all that with me. It means alot to me."
"It means alot to me too. I'm glad we can be open with each other like this."
"Yes, but something is still bothering you, isn't it?"
"You know me too well, Piccolo. There is one more thing. Legendary Spectronians. This is the ultimate form of my people. I've never seen one, but I've heard so much about them. In this state, new levels of power are said to be reached. The legendary spectronian also has a pair of shining white wings, and their hair is silver, their body a pulsating rainbow. There is one exception: the legend says that when the true king arises, he will have a pair of blue wings and will only be the royal colors; blue and purple. I wonder if I shall ever see the king, or if it's even possible for me to become legendary. That's the best chance we have at beating Newton."
"Wow, and I thought you were strong enough already. You already over-power everyone, including Goku."
"That may be, but you should never underestimate Newton. He has a passion for strength and power that cannot be contained."
"I'll remember that."
"Great, now what say we do some training." suggested Jesscheaux as she mock-punched Piccolo in the jaw.
"Ready when you are." he answered.
Jesscheaux suddenly hugged him tight for a moment. He put his arms around her and returned her hug. They shared this moment and then Jesscheaux quickly kissed him on the cheek.
"I'm ready now."she said.
