*Well, here's chapter 3. Things are going to get stranger soon. I hope you like my story so far. And once again, I don't own DBZ. Enjoy.

"Mom, I'm home!" called Gohan as he walked through the door. Itami walked in after him. "Well, it's about time Gohan. It's almost dinner time." Chichi said as she walked to the doorway. She was cut short as she saw Itami. Just then, Goku walked into the doorway too. "Hey Gohan," he said. He then noticed Itami who stood behind Gohan. "Well who's this?" he asked in a playful tone. "This is my friend Itami," said Gohan. Itami just bowed her head. He face was expressionless. "I found her when I was running my errands. She doesn't remember anything. She doesn't even know if she has a home to go to." He stopped and gave her a quick glance. "So I was wondering if she could maybe stay with us until she remembers." There was a brief moment of silence. Chichi looked down at Itami who only looked at the floor. A smile formed on Chichi's face. She felt sorry for Itami. She looked back at Gohan. "Of course she can." "Really?" asked Gohan. He was sort of excited. "Of course," said Goku. Itami looked up at the two of them and gave a small smile. "Thank you," she said. She was a quiet person. "Come on, dinner's almost ready," Chichi said. The four of them walked off into the kitchen.

It was late at night. The world outside was calm and quiet. Then suddenly, the wind picked up. Goku was asleep.

He could see nothing but darkness once again, but somehow it was different. It wasn't just black, but gray along with it. The colors seemed to swirl. Yellow was also swirling with the gray and black. He could hear wind blowing, but for some reason, he felt nothing. The wind was loud. He looked around. When he looked back in front of him, his eyes came to rest on what looked like a black hole. Black and blue swirled together, forming a vortex. Small points of light seemed to be getting pulled in, and yet it didn't threaten to pull him in. Goku watched as each point of light went in. After a few more entered, the vortex exploded with light. He looked at it for a while, and after the light cleared, a figure sprang out at Goku. It grabbed his arm. Goku noticed that it was a girl. She looked up at him; she only made it half way out. She held onto his arm with one hand. She seemed to be getting pulled into the vortex. Goku wasn't sure what she looked like, because her form was nothing but a shadow, dark and gray. She lifted her head up and opened her eyes. Her eyes were a yellowish golden color. They were her only features that weren't shadowed. There were tears in her eyes. "Please don't let it come back!" she yelled to Goku. "Don't let it be reborn!" She seemed to be holding on with all her strength. "Please! Don't bring back the terror! Don't bring it back!" She lost her grip on Goku's arm. "Please stop it! Don't let it come back!" And with those last words, she disappeared into the vortex and everything around Goku went dark.

At Capsule Corp, the wind had picked up too. Everyone was asleep, including Trunks. He tossed and turned in his sleep. The scene seemed familiar to him. He was on the same peek he had been on the first time, and on the peek across from him stood the strange girl. Her body shadowed and her eyes glowed a bright white light. The storm raged in the background, and the wined threatened to knock him off the peek. The girl just laughed. A cold and evil grin probably would have appeared on her face if he could have seen it. "Soon, very soon, my plan will be complete." She looked right at him with eyes that could kill. "And there's nothing you or your miserable friends can do. I will have this world, soon." After she finished, another figure appeared behind her. This one was taller, also a girl. She looked older. She was also shadowed. Her eyes showed the same light. "What is this?" asked Trunks. Both started to laugh. Then a huge explosion came from them. The light blinded Trunks. He turned away, but it was no use. He started to feel the pain of the explosion. He sat up. Trunks realized that he was in the guest room of Capsule Corp. He was breathing hard. His forehead was covered in sweat. He could still feel the pain from the explosion. He laid back down and stared at the ceiling. 'Maybe it wasn't just a dream.' He shook the feeling from his mind, turned to his side and went back to sleep.

It was morning now, and the sun was beginning to rise. The wind was still blowing from the night before. It made the house creek. Goku got up early and walked down the stairs. Gohan was already up. He was looking out the window. "Hey Gohan. What are you doing?" asked Goku. "Itami's gone." "Where'd she go?" "I don't know. Maybe she went home." "That's possible." There was silence for a while. "Hey dad?" "What?" "It's about that dream you had. Do you think it could mean something?" "I'm not sure yet, but I think we should keep our guard up." "Ok." "How about we go visit our friends today?" "Yeah! That sounds like fun!" "As soon as Chichi is ready, we'll go over to Capsule Corp." "Ok, I'll be ready."

******* Piccolo was still in the hills. He wasn't meditating this time. He had noticed a change in the wind. It blew violently, but with no pattern at all. Each time it blew, it was in a different direction. 'Something's not right here.' "It's coming". He looked over to his right. Once again, the girl was there. Her shadowed figure shook. Her eyes were wide. "It's coming," she said. Her voice was shaky. "There's nothing we can do. It's coming." She turned to him. Piccolo then saw the fear in her eyes. Her golden eyes were wide. She closed them and tilted her head back. A wall of white feathers swirled around her, engulfing her whole form, but quickly dispersed. When they cleared, she was gone. Piccolo turned and looked ahead again. He heard a huge explosion come from a nearby town.

****** "Did you guys here that?" asked Goku. He seemed a little panicked. "Yeah, but what was it? It felt like an explosion," said Trunks. Goku, Trunks, Gohan, Krillen, and Yamcha were standing on the balcony when a huge explosion rang out. It shook the building. Bulma ran out of the living room and out to the balcony. "Hey guys, come quick," she said. "What is it?" asked Goku. "You're not gonna believe what's on the news." She ran back into the living room as they all followed. Vegeta was already there, standing against the wall. The news was on. The announcer was repeating his earlier message. "I repeat! Ginger town is under attack! We bring you live footage of the disasters at hand." The scene changed to a view of Ginger town. Buildings were disassembled, and people were running in terror. The camera moved shakily upwards. It got a glimpse of a figure floating in the sky. It was a young teenage girl. That was about all they could see since the camera was far away. The figure turned towards the man with the camera. She raised her hand to him and energy began to gather in it. She shot it at him. That was the last thing they saw. The camera went blank. "Come on! We can't just stand around! Let's go!" yelled Goku as he ran out on the balcony. "Right," said Trunks. He followed Goku. Soon after he reached the balcony, Gohan, Yamcha, Krillen, and Vegeta followed. "We'll be back soon," said Goku as they all flew off. The building was now no more than a point in the distance. "What do you think it could be?" asked Krillen. "I wish I knew," said Goku. "Well, whatever it is, we better stop it before something really bad happens," said Yamcha. "Right," said Gohan. They all put an extra burst of speed on as they flew towards Ginger town.

Piccolo had sensed this and was already on his way. Just up ahead, he saw Goku and the others. Krillen turned to look behind and saw Piccolo coming up behind them. "Hey Goku, look, it's Piccolo," said Krillen. Goku turned to look as Piccolo caught up with them. "Hey Piccolo, did you sense something too?" asked Goku. "Yes. We aren't that far off. It should be any minute now." They were rapidly approaching the city.

People were scattering everywhere, trying to escape the horror above them. She continued to shoot at them. A young girl and her parents were trying to get out when the young girl tripped. Her parents quickly ran to her. The girl overhead saw them. She held her hand out to gather energy. The parents covered their child and braced themselves for the force of the explosion. The girl overhead was just about to fire her energy blast when a streak flew across the sky and rammed into her. The parents and the little girl looked overhead but no longer saw her above them. The girl was being sent through the air at an incredibly fast rate. Once she was out of the city, the thing pushing her stopped. She landed on a grassy peek just outside the city. She faced away from it. Goku dropped to the ground in front of her, followed by the rest of them. "Who are you?" asked Goku. His voice was stern and serious. The girl did not answer. Her hair was a yellowish orange color, short except for two long strands on both sides. Her skin was pale. Her ears were pointed and longer, more like Piccolo's. She was very slim. She wore a dark green long sleeved shirt and an orange skirt with reddish pants that came to her knees. She wore boots that were the colors of gold and silver, the soles were red. Swishing from side to side was a tail. It was blue and smooth. At the end, it became a lighter shade of blue and opened up to two scythes, with what looked like small teeth inside. Her eyes were deep and red. She expressed no emotion. "Answer me. Who are you?" he asked again. "Let's just destroy it," said Vegeta. She turned her head towards Vegeta. She looked a little irritated, but fascinated as well. She held out both hands and energy started to gather in them. "Uh, Vegeta. I think you made her mad," said Krillen. He was slowly backing up. "So what. What can she do to us?" he said. She fired the blasts right at them. There wasn't enough time to even think before the blasts hit them. They were all sent flying backwards. They landed on the ground with a thud. Goku struggled to lift his head up, as did the rest of them. "I think we may have underestimated her," said Yamcha. "Yeah," said Krillen. "What do we do now?" asked Trunks. They were all still struggling to get up. She started up another blast and was ready to fire again. Then, out of nowhere, an energy blast came flying at her. She looked up and quickly jumped out of the way. It hit with a huge explosion. She landed back on the ground; her energy blasts were gone. Her eyes followed as another figure came down in front of her. This one was also a girl and looked about the same age as the other. She separated the demon from the Z-gang. The demonic one looked irritated, yet a little frightened as well. She looked around a bit and at the Z-gang behind her. Her eyes met the newcomer's. She lifted off into the air and quickly disappeared. The newcomer dropped her guard. She stood there, facing away from the Z-gang. They were now on their feet. "Hey, thanks for the help," said Goku. She closed her eyes and turned around to face them. "You're, welcome," she said. She opened her eyes. Piccolo was shocked. Her eyes were a golden color; the same color as the figure's eyes he saw. "It's you," he said. She looked towards him. "You're the one I saw during my meditations." Goku thought for a while. "Hey yeah, and you're the one who spoke to me in my dreams," said Goku. "Yes, I am," she said. She stood there; her silver hair was long in the front and angled up as it went to the back. She had two strands of her bangs that hung down her forehead and ended above her nose. Her ears were catlike and were located around the top of her head like a cat's. She wore a long sleeved purple shirt. She wore an orange chest plate over it. She had 3 inch red circlets around her wrists. She wore a blue skirt with purple Capri type pants underneath and around her waist like a belt, was a golden chain that wrapped around and had the end hang. At the end of the chain was a small red stone. She wore boots that came 3 inches below her knees. They started out light blue and slowly got darker towards the bottom. The part of her boots that looked like shoes were orange with red soles. She looked completely human, except for her ears and her tail. Her tail was a little more than 2 feet long. It was smooth and a golden color. It slimmed until it reached a tip, which had two fin like things on the sides. Her tail was a yellowish golden color and the fins at the end of her tail were a silverish color. "But, I don't get it. What's going on here?" asked Goku. "I will do the best I can to answer your questions," she said. "Well, ok. But first, who are you?" "I am Za Ranpu No Hogosha, but I understand that it may be hard to remember. So just call me Jinsei." "Can you tell us what's going on here? Who was that?" "Her name is Yami; she's a demon." "Why did she come here?" "To destroy this planet. Yami has only one purpose: to destroy everything she possibly can, and this is where she will start." "When did she arrive? I haven't sensed anything strange lately." "She came about 3 days ago. I can't really be sure." "Then why didn't you contact me before she came here?" "Because I arrived at the same time she did." "Then why did you even bother telling me?" "Because I thought that maybe if I was to warn you about her, you could stop her before she reached this level. You see, Yami came here in a different form than the one you saw just now. It's her form that conserves her power. This form is the only time when she has a conscience. It is completely different from the form you just saw. I followed her here in order to make sure no one got hurt. I thought that maybe I could stop her, but I needed help, so I contacted the two of you, but things didn't work out the way I had hoped." "Why did you contact only us?" "Because you were the easiest to reach. You're mind is free and unburdened, so I came to you in a dream. Piccolo was meditating, so I came to him in a vision. I didn't even realize I had been doing it. I was only watching over the land." There was silence for a while, but Goku finally broke it. "So what now?" "We wait until Yami appears again. Now I have a question for you." "What is it?" "Well, you know my name, but I only know you and Piccolo, so tell me: who are all of you?" "Oh, sorry about that. This is Krillen, Yamcha, my son Gohan, Vegeta, and Trunks." "And one more thing." Goku looked back at her. "Do you know where I can stay? I don't really have a place to go." They all thought for a while, until Trunks came up with an idea. "You could stay with us at Capsule Corp. I'm sure mom wouldn't mind," he said. "Are you sure?" "Yeah, it'll be fine." She looked up at him and smiled. "Thank you," she said as she bowed her head. They turned around and started walking. Jinsei ran up behind them. "It's probably best that you stay at Capsule Corp.," said Goku. "Why?" asked Jinsei. "Well, because you might attract attention. People on earth don't have tails." She stopped and looked down at her tail, as if pondering something. "Don't worry about it. I mean, it's not like all of us are from earth." "Huh?" Vegeta walked up to Goku. "Kakarot." His voice was a whisper. "What?" "I don't want you telling her that we're Saiyans. I'm not sure I trust her." "Why?" "For all we know, she could be working with Yami, and I don't want her to know." "Fine, I won't tell her." Vegeta backed off. "What did you mean?" Goku was a little panicked. "I, uh, just meant that, uh, we're not all from this planet. Look at Piccolo. He's not from earth." "I know that." "Oh." They all lifted off into the sky except for Jinsei, who just stood and stared at them as they flew higher. They stopped in midair and looked down at her. "Aren't you coming?" asked Goku. She stood up strait and closed her eyes. A pair of white, feathered wings shot out from her back. She opened her eyes and took off after them. They were all shocked. She flew up in front of them. "Let's go," she said. They started once again. Goku flew up along side of her. "So, you have wings?" "Yes. This is how I get around. I was surprised that you could fly without any; actually, I was surprised that you could fly at all." "Oh." They were all quiet as they flew towards Capsule Corp.

Well, I hope you liked this chap. It was a lot longer than the other two. Just incase you were wondering, Jinsei's name is pronounced (jin-say) and Yami's is pronounced (Yah-me), but I guess that ones sorta easy.
