"Mom, you're sure you've never seen her at all before?" Trunks asked his mother as she put a cold cloth over the girl's forehead.
"Very sure Trunks. The only Saiyans I ever saw was you, your father, that bastard Raditz, Goku and Gohan," she explained. Bulma rarely ever sword, at least around Trunks, so he could tell by the way she'd said that about the one Saiyan, he had stirred up a lot of trouble in the past.
The girl winced a tiny bit and her eyes opened slowly, her eyes were a deep violet colour, not the black that most Saiyans had, so it was obvious she was at least a half Saiyan, or as his father would have said, a 'breed'. Maybe now he could get some answers out of the girl, but he doubted his mother would let him inquiry anything until she was certain the girl was all right, and had a fresh pair of clothes on.
"Where am I?" she asked, her voice a bit hoarse from not being used in a long time and her eyes a bit fuzzy as she slowly regained most of her senses.
"You're at Capsule Corporation," Bulma said as she took the cloth off of the girl's forehead.
"Capsule Corporation? Where...what planet is this? And for that matter…what year is this?" she asked as she pushed herself to sit up looking around, if it was at all possible the rest of the colour drained from her already pale face as she seemed to stare at her hands.
"You're on earth…" Trunks said as he watched the girl curiously. She seemed to be like she didn't know what was going on, as though she thought she was dreaming.
"How is it possible…?" she started to ask herself as she looked to a window on her left and caught her reflection, what could have done this to her?
Back in the past…
The years were quickly passing for everyone after the horrible ordeal with the Androids and the Cell Games, though for some, the time passed too quickly.
"Gohan hurry up! You'll be late for school!" Chichi yelled to her, now teenager, son Gohan as he hurried to get dressed. Seven years after the Cell Games, Gohan had started going to Orange Star High School, and taken on the disguise to be known as "The Great Saiyaman", the defender of the city.
"Bye Gohan!" Goten, the son the Goku never got to meet yelled to his older brother as he ran out the door.
"Bye Goten, and behave today!" Gohan yelled as he took off into the air towards his school, he couldn't afford to be late, not again. Especially since he was going to have to take time off to train for the World Martial Arts competition.
"This will be so great! I can't believe Dad is actually going to be able to come back for the tournament!" Gohan yelled to himself as he flew.
Elsewhere, Trunks and his father Vegeta were doing some heavy duty training in the gravity room that Bulma had built for them. Vegeta was having no trouble moving around in the gravity that was 326 times stronger than Earth's gravity, though it seemed that Trunks was having a bit of a difficulty with it.
"Come on son, this is a man's workout, maybe you should leave," Vegeta sneered as he edged his son on, it was the only way Trunks would learn. Trunks growled a bit.
"No way…I'm going to finish this," he said not looking at his father.
"Yeah, so what are you going to do about it?" Vegeta asked as he continued to hit the punching bag. Trunks clenched his fists at his sides and growled again.
"Time to go super!" he yelled, immediately getting his father's attention. Vegeta couldn't help but wonder how is son had managed to do this, the great legacy of the proud Saiyan race, a child's play thing?
"Who's stronger? You, or Kakkarot's brat?" Vegeta asked as he looked at his son surprised as he stood up in the gravity.
"Um…I guess I am, since Goten can't fly yet," Trunks said, causing a smirk to spread across his father's face.
Grand Kai's Planet…
"Come on King Yemma, the girl's been stuck here for years since she was killed, she's like what 6?" Goku pleaded with the great King. King Yemma sighed, when Goku wanted something done he could go on forever.
"She's 5 Goku, and it simply can't be done, she's obviously been dead for over a year, and you know the rules," Yemma said as he tapped his pen against the edge of his desk.
"Well, can't we make an exception to the rules?" Goku asked looking up at the massive King. He was trying to get King Yemma to give Rebel her life back, she was so out of place where she was now, and she'd had all of her life ahead of her.
"I don't see why not," Grand Kai said as he floated into their view, "his intentions are noble, and Rebel was starting to become a bit of a pest, kids…so hard to keep entertained," Grand Kai said. King Yemma nodded to him with respect.
"Very well Goku, but I'm afraid she'll have to be returned the day of the tournament, with you. And I'm not sure if she'll appear as she is, or as she should be, it's a gamble though," King Yemma said. Goku nodded and grinned widely.
"Thanks Grand Kai, thank you King Yemma, you guys rule," Goku said as he gave them a thumbs up, then took off to tell King Kai the good news. Grand Kai turned to King Yemma.
"Be afraid…be VERY afraid," he simply said going to follow him back to his own planet.
