CHAPTER I - DESTINATION UNKNOWN
----------------
I see life and it's passin' right before my eyes
And the past is the past don't regret it, time to realize
I need to walk on the wire just to catch my breath,
I don't know how or where but I'm goin' it's all that I have left
It don't matter where it takes me
Long as I can keep this feeling runnin' through, my soul
Never took this road before -- destination unknown
Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown
Won't be coming back this way gotta go it alone
Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown
See a chance gotta take it wanna meet my fate
'Cause the last thing I ever wanted was to find out it's too late
No way out when you're in it deeper than the night
There's a light at the end of the tunnel and I see it burning bright
It don't matter where it takes me
Long as I can keep this feeling soarin' through, my soul
Never took this road before -- destination unknown
Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown
Won't be comin' back this way gotta go it alone
Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown

Kelli opened her eyes. The last thing she remembered was she had been watching Dragonball Z when a bright flash of light filled her vision. The next thing she knew, she was here, lying in an alley in a large city.
She staggered to her feet and stepped out of the alley. Kelli was met by screams and strange looks. She gazed down at her feet to avoid their fearful gaze, and was met with a shock. She was barefoot, but that wasn't the worst of it! Her human feet were now gargoyle-like talons. She stood as though on tiptoes, but it seemed normal to her. Her tail and wings balanced it out. Wait a second, she thought, tail and wings? She glanced behind her, at the magnificent wings sprouting from her back. She tried moving one of the batlike, leathery limbs and found, much to her pleasing, that they moved with ease. She flicked her reptilian, purple and blue scaled tail side to side, smiling at how the streetlights made the scales sparkle and glitter.
Reality hit her like a thunderbolt. She was in an alley in the middle of a city that sure didn't look like Portland, or even downtown Vancouver! She checked her watch, the digital LCD display read 11:45. The 15 year old girl yelled in surprise, startling a passerby. Kelli grabbed that passerby and slammed him against the wall.
"Where is the nearest hotel?" Kelli snarled, surprised at her own aggressiveness.
"W-we have n-no hotels nearby... but you can t-try the C-capsule C-corporation." The man stammered.
Kelli released her death hold on his collar in surprise. The man took the opportunity and ran. Kelli shook her head, that man had just said the name of a place in her favorite TV show, Dragonball Z! She dashed down the street at amazing speed, rocketing past cars and blowing people's hats off. Suddenly, Kelli skidded to a stop in front of a large group of dome-shaped buildings with the words 'Capsule Corporation' displayed on the front of one.
Keeping her wings readied behind her, she approached the building. She knocked on the door, and was relieved when she heard someone coming to open it.
The door opened, revealing a very tired-looking woman with blue hair. Trying to hide her surprise at being greeted by Bulma from DBZ, she clasped her claws in front of her, gazing down at the porch.
"H-hi... I'm kinda lost and I'm looking for a place to spend the night until I find out where I am and how to get home." Kelli looked up at Bulma. Bulma looked a little more awake once she had seen Kelli's brand-new wings and tail.
"Come on in." Bulma smiled warmly, welcoming the strange girl into her house, "Let me show you to one of our guest rooms. What's your name?"
"Ke-" Kelli realized that she couldn't tell people her true name, after all, she wasn't herself, "Kakarika."
She had quickly decided on the name of a city in the Zelda games, with an 'A' to make it sound more like a girl's name. Bulma appeared not to have noticed her falter. They walked down several corridors, finally stopping at one door.
"This is one of our many guest rooms. You're welcome to stay here as long as you like." Bulma smiled. Kelli/Kakarika opened the door and stepped into the spacious room.
Bulma closed the door, saying, "I'll come get you when it's time for breakfast in the morning."
As soon as Bulma had closed the door, she leaned against the wall, debating whether or not to trust this strange teenager with batlike wings and a reptilian tail.
