Chapter #3 – Answers

Disclaimer: I don't own dbz, I do own Raen, Jaki and Yajma though, if only I could own Trunks…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So" began Trunks over breakfast the next morning "I think we owe each other some answers"

Raen nodded and swallowed her mouthful of toast "yeah alright" there was a pause "you first, What did that bean do to me?"

"It was a senzu bean, they heal you, but you, I don't know what it did to you, You don't have any weird blood do you?

Raen paused uncertainly "Would that make a difference?"

"Maybe, you do, don't you?

Raen crossed her arms and looked at the floor "yeah"

"Well..." Trunks prompted

"Well my father, he was human, but my mother, she wasn't. Umm she came from a place called Yajma, Its, well, have you heard of alternate realities?"

"yeah, I created one"

"Okay?" Raen made a mental note to bring that up again later "Well Yajma is an alternate version of earth, Yajmarians are humans, but evolved differently. Because on earth humans began evolving after the comet hit and killed the dinosaurs right? But on Yajma it never hit, so they have two moons, they had to live underground for a few millennia, that's one theory why their eyes turned orange, lack of light or something, and as earth humans were developing war weapons, we were focusing more on the Mind powers. Any way my mother came to earth by accident, I don't know the whole story, she was about 13, was adopted, met my father, had me, left my father, haven't seen her since". Raen didn't notice that by saying 'we were focussing more on mind powers' she had just called herself Yajmarian, something she had never done before, as far as she was concerned, she was human.

"Did she have ki?" Trunks asked

Raen shook her head, her freshly washed hair shaking down her back "not that I know of, although Dad said something about Mind powers, telekinesis or telepathy or both, and a strong sixth sense that they used in battle, Dad said mother though Yajma was on the brink of a war with a group of people, lead by someone, some strange name starting with K, but no, no she didn't have ki, although the K person might have".

"Right, so what can you do?"

"uhh, not much, I sometimes have weird dreams but I can't translate them, and a feeling of premonition, but I can't tell what's going to happen, just that something will. And I heal faster than normal humans, but not so fast as would have saved my arm if you hadn't given me that bean, I don't know if I said, but thanks for that"

"No problem"

"You said before that you created an alternate reality?"

"Well..." Trunks began his explanation of the time machine, the other Z warriors, and his endless fight against the androids.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For weeks they trained, learning about each other in the process. Often, at night, Raen would sleep for a few hours, the wake and sneak out to an uninhabited field, and repeat the moves and techniques she'd learnt that day over and over, until her muscles themselves knew them as reflexes. Sometimes Trunks was there too, and they would spar together, each as desperate to destroy the androids as the other. Then Raen would steal a few more hours sleep, before waking up in the morning in dire need of breakfast, and going out to train again. Jaki too, learnt how to fly, and the basics of the martial arts, but she was never as good as Raen, and Raen was never as good as Trunks.

It was on one of these nights, when Trunks was out too, that he announced he had to return to the past in his time machine, to battle the androids of that time.

"I don't know how long I'll be gone, the fight has more hope since Goku's still alive, but they'll need all the help they can get"

Raen nodded slowly, "take Jaki with you, if anything happens here I don't want her involved, she's too young, I won't be able to defend her, Bulma and myself"

Trunks thought about this for a minute, then decided Raen was right. "Okay, Jaki comes with me, but you two better be here when I get back"

Raen laughed, but it was a slightly nervous laugh "don't worry about us, we've been okay so far, what could happen?"

Both of them knew very well what could happen, but neither of knew what would…
