Chapter 3



Natasha watched as Vitrio fell from the sky, dead. She was speechless. But she knew from experience that watching in wonder was a waste of time, and her attention was quickly brought back to Gohan, the warrior who had fought for her.

The young woman ran towards him ignoring the immense pain… 'I hope he's ok…' she couldn't stand the thought of him dying. She had been the cause of too much death... too much.

She had just reached him, when a powerful blow to her face sent her flying.

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

Bringing his arms down, Piccolo landed next to Gohan, and began walking toward the unconscious girl. 'Pathetic, she didn't even put up a fight.' He thought

The demon king walked towards the fallen girl. Towering above her, he landed a quick kick to her side, receiving a loud moan from the girl in response.

He'd end this now. He stood back and built up an energy blast. It wasn't powerful, but it would be enough.

Standing a good distance away, he brought his hands together, A ball of energy stated to build, and shot the blast toward her.

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

Natasha was brought back into consciousness only by the pain brought upon her by Piccolo's attacks. She finally mustered up the strength to open her eyes. But when she did, all she could see was the blast of energy heading toward her.

She wanted to scream, but she couldn't. She just closed her eyes, tight, waiting…



But it never came.

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

Gohan had regained conciseness and had seen what his friend was about to do. Piccolo didn't know. He didn't know she was innocent. The thought ran through the young Saiyan's mind, 'How do I even know she's innocent?'

But Gohan knew he had to do something, and fast.

Gohan jumped up and as fast as he could, ran to protect the fallen girl.

He arrived just in time, and crossing his arms together in front of himself, he easily managed to deflect the blast.

He briefly looked up to see his trainer, then taking his eyes off Piccolo, Gohan looked down at the mysterious girl, she was unconscious again.

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

Piccolo was confused, but he tried not show it. Yet Gohan saw it.

In the time Piccolo had spent training Gohan as a child, the young Saiyan learned how to read Piccolo's moods, to find the slightest changes on his features that gave away his emotions.

Confusion was written all over him now.

"He came for her," he pointed towards the dead figure of Vitrio, "she is innocent." Gohan shouted to his mentor. He realized the confusion was still there, so he went on "She was attacked by him, I was here, watching her, and I knew she wasn't one of the bad guys, I don't know why, but I just know. Then he came." The young warrior looked up into the namek's face. He understood.



Piccolo looked down at the girl he had just knocked outHe looked at her unconscious form on the ground. She was weak, helpless…hopeless, and he was about to kill her. . He was suddenly filled with guilt. 'How could I have done that?' the Namek thought.

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sound of Gohan's voice. "Now what?" he asked

Piccolo grunted. It was a good question.

He wanted to know who she was, what she was doing here.

"I can take her back home with me!" Gohan volunteered. "I'm sure my mom would love to have another girl around the house!"

Piccolo cringed at the mere thought Gohan's mother. She was always pampering her son. He remembered Gohan before they began their training, a whining, spoiled, annoying little brat. He didn't even want to think about what Chi-Chi would do to another female.

This girl had a strong ki. It was obvious she wasn't a human, but what was she? He looked back down at the unconscious brown haired girl.

"I'm going to take her back with me."

"WHAT!!" Gohan cried.

Piccolo was shocked by his own words as well, but he went on. "She's strong, she needs training. And we need to find out who she is."

Goahn was shocked, and confused, and he had no problem showing it. "Are…are you… sure… about that Piccolo?" he asked, "I mean…you not…"

"OF COURSE I'M SURE!" He shouted, baring the tips of his fangs. "I wouldn't have said it if I wasn't."

"Um…Okay." Gohan was still confused, and a bit uncomfortable with the whole idea, but he knew better than to argue with Piccolo. "I guess... I guess I'll go home then." Gohan jumped up and hovered, "Bye Piccolo!" he shouted back as he flew back to his home.
