NINA'S ARRIVAL: PART THREE – Destruction: Part One

The scouter sat blinking at her. Every so often, a high-pitched beep would fill the room. Nina sat there on her bed staring at the wall in the middle of the stormy night.

*He couldn't be alive*, she thought. Finally, the beeping became too annoying. She walked over to it and hooked it on her ear. A heavy breathing could be heard on the other end, then…

"There you are, princess. I was beginning to think that you left me."

She stood there, a cold sweat dripping down her face. The voice continued.

"Don't forget your mission! I'll be there in two Earth days, and when I get there, the Earth's Special Forces had best be terminated! Do you understand?! Good. This is…"

Nina turned the scouter off. Shock waves shuddered through her body. Tears began to form, but she refused to show weakness. What now? He'll be here soon. Again, the tears threatened to spill down her face.

*He's supposed to be dead, damnit! He's supposed to be dead!* She hugged her knees to her chest and rocked back and fourth while the rain pattered on the window. Outside her door, she heard a noise. Quickly, she got to her feet. The door slowly began to slide open. With a flash of golden light, Nina turned Super Saiyan and extended her hand, ready to attack. Lightning shot behind her as she formed an energy blast in her extended hand. The door opened the rest of the way.

Her hand dropped, and the golden light disappeared. She looked at Trunks in her doorway with a baffled look on his face.

"Are you okay, Aunt Nina?" Trunks blinked up at her.

"Yes, I will be soon," she replied shakily.

Lightning shot again outside, making Trunks shudder.

"I don't like storms. My dad says its weak to be afraid, but, well… I am still a kid," The thunder boomed outside and Trunks ran to Nina's side.

"Would you like to stay with me tonight?" She calmly asked. A small face looked up at her and nodded. She smiled and placed him in her bed and tucked him under the blankets. The young Saiyan boy fell fast asleep. She smiled, and then kissed him on the forehead. Suddenly, she remembered. Turning, she saw the scouter sitting by the window reflecting the lightning flashes. Her mission. She couldn't and wouldn't kill anyone now. She had to tell Vegeta. She would need all the help she could get.

The next morning, everyone sat around the breakfast table. All except Vegeta. No one else seemed to be bothered by this, so she thought that maybe she should say something.

"Where's Vegeta?"

Everyone looked at her in unison.

"Check the Gravity Room," said Bulma.

Nina rose from the table, and headed towards the door.

"Nina, is anything wrong dear?" Asked Dr. Breif.

"Not yet," she said as she made a hasty exit.

Vegeta went through his morning workout routine, sweat poured off him. Trying to get used to the 500x gravity wasn't very easy, so that's why he was doing it. (

Nina pressed the pad for the door to the Gravity Room to open. She walked in and stood watching him train.

"Vegeta, can I talk to you for a moment? Its kinda important."

He stopped doing flips in the air and looked down at her. She was just standing there. The gravity didn't seem to affect her.

"You can turn off the gravity excelerator if you want to."

"Don't worry about it. I'll come up there." And she did, with the greatest of ease.

"Hold it!" Roared Vegeta, "how is it that you can prance around in gravity 500 times that of Earth, while I, a proud Saiyan, wobbles around like a mere mortal?"

"Don't you dare jump to conclusions with me, Vegeta! I was hauled around everywhere with Frieza. I had to withstand gravity of this magnitude all of the time! However, this isn't what I came to talk about. You and everyone else are in serious danger!"

"What the heck do you mean?"

Nina seemed to be searching for the right words, and then she took a deep breath.

"Tomorrow, at noon… Frieza will be coming to destroy the Z Warriors and the planet."

"No! My son from the future turned Frieza and King Cold to mere ashes!"

"Trust me, Vegeta! He's alive! I don't know how but he is. I was sent here to terminate all of you and then dispose of myself… Vegeta, I don't want to lose you! Any of you! Please, help me!"

"Come with me, we have much work to do." He dropped to the ground and shut off the gravity machine as he headed out the door.

Everyone met at Capsule Corp. that night and Nina told them everything.

"What do we do now, Goku?" Asked Krillin.

"We ambush! Here, I have an idea." Everyone crowded around Goku. Nina headed out the door to the balcony. Gohan noticed her exit and followed. She had left the door slightly open, so he tried to ease the door open wide enough so that he could slip through.

"I could sense you coming, Gohan."

"Hey, you're good." He paused for a moment then joined Nina leaning on the railing. "Don't worry, I'm not mad at you, I just think you're pretty… and um…pretty nice, I mean…"

Nina laughed. "It's okay. I think you're really nice, Gohan. I don't want to hurt you or anybody else any more."

Gohan turned to face Nina, and gently placed his hand on her face.

"You know," he said, "you and I are alike in so many ways." She looked up at him. Both moved in closer to each other; close enough to feel each other's body heat. Their lips were inches apart.

"Nina! Gohan! We've got a plan that might work! You in?" Krillin popped in and destroyed the moment.

Gohan and Nina kept eye contact.

"Later," he whispered to her. He kissed her on the cheek and walked off with Krillin. She stood there astonished. Somebody actually loved her for being herself. She turned around and looked up at the stars. Nothing could happen to any of them.

"I'm in love," she whispered to the ebony sky. A sleek smile flickered across her face. Tomorrow was a day where anything and everything could go wrong. But at that moment, nothing seemed wrong with the world.
