The last time in "The Lost Warrior":
About midnight, the guests thought it was about time to go home. Jenny and Shana stayed at Trunks and Goten, so they also said goodbye to their parents. Back in the Briefs' apartment, Jenny's guess was right. There was a huge meal on the kitchen table, enough to feed all the Saiyans in the house. After they ate their small midnight snack, the families went back to their own apartments. Shana and Goten were tired and went directly to bed and Jenny and Trunks were also in Trunks room. As Trunks came back from the bathroom, he found Jenny laying on his bed with a black silk nightgown. She got up as she saw him and walked towards him. She kissed him and he didn't notice that Jenny was slowly leading him to the bed, until he tripped and fell backwards on his bed. "What the…?"
Jenny put a finger on his mouth and kissed him again. "Did you really think, you already got all your presents?" she asked him smirking and switched off the light.
***********************************************************************************************
Chapter 31: "It's Him!"For the following four month, the Saiyajins intensified the search for the man in Jenny's dreams, but it wasn't easy. They knew that it was definitely a man, about a head larger then Jenny with blue eyes, but so many men fit to this description and so they didn't succeed in finding him. Even though Jenny told them that she would know who he was when she saw him, time began to run short and especially in the last weeks the friends couldn't look for him, because they had to learn for the final examination.
Jenny chewed on her pencil. She was sitting in the test room of her school brooding over one of her math problems. This was the last test she ever had to write in math, but at the same time it was her most important one. The one of her final examination. But luckily the last one. She already wrote Danish and French two days ago. She sighed. How could it be so difficult to solve this problem? 'Trunks? I'm very dense right now… Could you please help me with number 2? I just need the beginning.'
'Have you already finished number 1?'
'Sure, that was easy!'
'Really? Wow, because I'm the one who's dense at this problem.'
Jenny smiled. 'At least I'm not the only one. But can you help me now or not? I also can help you with #1.'
'Okay… let's see.' With that Trunks told her what she had to do and then Jenny told him what Trunks wanted to know about his problem.
About half an hour before the time was up, Jenny finished the test and packed up her things. She was the first one, who did this, even though a few others were finished as well, they were just controlling their results, something what Jenny never did, because she knew that she would eventually become uncertain and would probably change right results into wrong ones. The teacher, who was watching over the class, looked at her with a questioning look on his face and Jenny just nodded and left the room. On the schoolyard she dropped her bag and collapsed into the grass, lying in the sun. "Wow, that was even more exhausting than training with Vegeta," Jenny mumbled.
"Yeah, you're right!" she heard her voice behind her. Without opening her eyes, she knew who it was.
"Hey bro!" she said and sat up, motioning for Goten to sit next to her.
"So, how was math?"
"I think it wasn't that bad… But without my dear mate I wouldn't have been able to solve a problem." Jenny told her brother grinning, "And how was biology?"
"I hope well, otherwise my mother would kill me. You know what? Somehow I admire our teachers… They are just there for two hours and then they have free, letting other teachers watching over us, while we must be there the whole time."
"Yeah, that's right," Jenny said laughing.

Little did they know that they were watched during their conversation. A dark figure was standing behind a corner of the school building. 'Did she just say the name Vegeta? I know this name…'
FLASHBACK
One night a young man about 25 years was walking down a lonely alley aimlessly. He had just gotten the message from his doctor that he would die within the next year. Die by a virus he got in a hospital. The doctors told him that they were sorry that this happened and that they wouldn't be able to help him and therefor he despised them. He hated the human race for being so careless and so weak and he hated himself for being one of them and he swore to himself that he would make the humans pay for this someday. As he was walking a sudden glaring light appeared in the air, directly in front of him and a creature fell out of it. He ran towards the creature and looked at it. It looked somehow human, but his skin was light blue and the hair white and it looked badly injured. Bruises were all over its body but it was still alive.
Suddenly it opened its eyes and the man jerked back. It began to mumble in a language the man didn't understand and he just stared at it until he finally regained his composure. "Who are you?"
It now noticed the man. "I did it. I escaped," the creature now asked him in English.
"Huh? How comes you know my language?" the man asked confused.
"I have to know many languages where I come from. You look human, that must mean I'm on earth." It tried to sit up but fell back, it was too bad injured.
"What are you?"
"I'm an Oryx-jin from the planet Oryx which is in another dimension." It coughed blood. "Looks like I'm about to die and this ass wins."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Frieza… He ordered me to kill all the inhabitants of a planet, but I decided it would be more fun to torture them first a bit, much to Frieza's dislike. It wasn't fast enough and so he punished me, but I could escape in to this dimension… Come nearer, please…" The young man obeyed and stepped nearer. "You'll die too, I can sense it and you have a hatred to the people who did this to you. I understand that and that's why I want to make you a gift…" The creature coughed more blood.
"I don't understand? What gift?"
"I'll give you my strength. After I gave it to you, you'll be invincible and immortal for the next thirty years since you are human. You'll possess the power I have now, but from now on in exact thirty years at 9am your power will increase dramatically, but from this time on, you'll be mortal. But you will be more than thousand times more powerful than Vegeta…"
"Vegeta? Is your name Vegeta?"
"No, he's a warrior. A cold hearted killer, one of Frieza's best men and who wouldn't even flinch to kill his partners. He's the proud prince of the Saiyajins."
After the creature had said that, it closed it eyes
and its body began glowing, which also surrounded the body of the man, and when
the glowing was gone, the creature was as well. At the moment the creature
vanished the man felt a new kind of power running through his body.
Unconsciously he raised his hand and shot a small ki-blast, destroying a nearby
wall. Disbelieving he looked at his hands, but then he began to laugh
uncontrollably. In thirty years from that moment on he would make the human
race pay for what it did to him.
END FLASHBACK
'Does she know him? No, that's impossible. The creature came from another dimension and so must Vegeta. I must've misunderstood what she had said and besides, why would he a cold killer train with a pure hearted person like her?' He tossed himself from the wall he was leaning at and smirked. "Just two more months and you will all experience the fear of death like I did." With that he walked away.

"Morning mom!" Jenny said cheerfully, as she came into the kitchen two days later.
"Morning Jenny! So, are you ready for your presentation of the project class?"
Jenny picked up her sports bag and showed it her mother. "Yep, I'm ready… And who knows. Maybe I'll accidentally kill Mr. Fieldner," she said laughing. Her mother looked at her, shocked. "Mom! Don't take this seriously, or do you really think that I am able to do it?"
"Okay, you're right. Uhm, shouldn't you go now?"
Jenny looked at the clock. "Oh, yeah… Bye mom!"
As Jenny arrived at school, the others were already gathered in the assembly hall, where the presentation should be held. But before Jenny also went there, she changed her clothes in the bathrooms. She decided to wear the black gi ChiChi made for her for the Tenkaichi Budokai, since Mr. Fieldner told them to wear their own clothes.
In the assembly hall Jenny spotted her friends at once. They were standing at one side of the mat and most to Jenny's surprise Vegeta and Goku were there, too, as well as other parents from the other students. 'Too bad my parents have to work today…' Jenny sighed, as she was walking towards them. Trunks was wearing his dark green gi, the same one he wore as a kid, just larger and Goten wore the typical Son gi. Goten noticed her first and waved, gaining also Trunks' attention. "Hey!"
"Hey Jenny!" Trunks kissed her.
"What are you two doing here?" Jenny asked, turning to Goku and Vegeta.
"Kakarotto thought it might be a good idea to look here for someone who fits to your description under those pathetic humans."
"Dad!" Trunks gritted his teeth, "Not so loud." Goku, Goten and Jenny just grinned as suddenly Mr. Fieldner walked to the middle of the mat.
"Hello first! Today will be the presentation of the project class Martial Arts. It will be held like a small tournament. All nine students who've decided to take this class will fight against me. We will fight for five minutes each and my first opponent will be Tom Briefs." Trunks entered the small ring and got into a fighting stance. It was really hard for Trunks to hold his strength back since he didn't have any weights to carry. As his five minutes were up, it was Goten's turn. But both fighters were surprised how much Mr. Fieldner hold back during their classes. Jenny was the last participant and since she was the only girl in this class, several parents began to mumble, how such a weak looking girl could possibly fight. Before Jenny entered the ring, Trunks put a hand on her shoulder. 'I don't care how much you want to do this, but you have to lose against him and you may not hurt him, okay?'
'Yes mom,' Jenny answered Trunks mockingly.
During the fight Jenny did as she was told and held back, pretending that she hardly stood a chance against him. She dodged most of his attacks until he sent her to the ground. That happened in the first two minutes. When she was on the ground, Mr. Fieldner crossed his arms over his chest. "So, what's up with you? Why do you just dodge the attacks? Are you afraid of getting hurt or are you just simply a coward?" Right after he said this, Jenny looked up, directly in his face, scowling. She stood back up and got into a fighting stance, sending a death glare to her teacher.
"Oh oh…"
"What oh oh?" Goten asked his friend.
"He called her a coward," Vegeta informed him.
"And that means we can visit him tomorrow in the hospital," Trunks continued.
"Okay, I agree… Oh oh."
'Damn Saiyan instincts are taking over,' Trunks thought worried, as he felt his girlfriend's ki rise.
At the moment Jenny attacked her teacher, Vegeta felt a foreign, but familiar ki flicker. He looked shocked at the teacher. "Dad? Are you okay? You look like you just saw a ghost."
"Of course I'm okay!" he snapped. 'What was that? Does her teacher really have a ki? But why did it feel like the one of this Oryx-jin out of Frieza's army?'
"Dad! Look!" Trunks interrupted Vegeta's thought. He looked up and saw why Trunks was so upset. Even though Jenny was powered up enough to easily kick the teacher's ass without changing into her Saiyajinform, Mr. Fieldner had somehow managed to grab her throat, lifting her now into the air. Jenny struggled to break free, but as she looked into her teacher's eyes, she suddenly stopped. His eyes were blue, mocking and cold. All of sudden a vision flashed through Jenny's mind. The scene of her dream, where the man was grabbing her neck. And the man got a face, the face of her teacher, the face of Mr. Fieldner.
"What's going on? Why doesn't she try to free herself?" Goten asked worried.
At that moment Trunks saw the look on her face. It was a look of pure horror and fear. "It's him," he mumbled.
"What?" Goten and Goku asked shocked, but Trunks was about to launch at Mr. Fieldner, but Vegeta stopped him.
"Brat, stop! The time's almost up!"
"But…" At this moment another teacher announced that the five minutes were up and Mr. Fieldner threw Jenny to the ground. Trunks rushed immediately to her side. "Jenny… Are you okay?"
"Trunks… It's…"
"Shh, I know, we know…" He rocked her gently, as Jenny felt tears in her eyes, but she blinked them away. She wouldn't cry. Not here. Not in front of all those people.
Most of the parents and students who were standing around the ring muttered something about "Poor girl." and "How can a teacher be that brutal?". Jenny stood up and looked around.
"Where is he?"
Trunks looked around, too, but Mr. Fieldner was gone. "I don't know. But let's go outside, where we can talk."
"Jenny, are you sure he's really the man out of your dreams?" Goku asked his daughter.
"It's him. Definitely."
"He seemed to be strong…"
"You haven't even seen anything my dear Glenn." They heard a voice from behind. Jenny instinctively powered up as she saw Mr. Fieldner standing about 10 meters away from them. "So, you're the legendary Lost Warrior. I must say, I'm impressed. I've never thought that one of my students would possess such a power. But you can power down, it's useless, you can't hurt me."
"We'll see!" Jenny said as she powered up even more.
"He's right."
"What? Vegeta, what are you talking about?"
Mr. Fieldner raised an eyebrow. "Vegeta? The same Vegeta who serves under Frieza, the prince of a race called the Saiyajins? The bloodthirsty killer?"
"I see you've already heard from me. But I guess "served" under Frieza is better, because he's dead and let's say I changed sides. But now let me ask you something. You've got you're power from an Oryx-jin, haven't you?"
"That's right."
"So did this bastard really escape from Frieza. I thought he killed him."
"He did, but before he went to this dimension and as he died he passed his power to me."
"That's why you have his ki."
"Dad! Can you please tell us what's going on?"
Vegeta ignored his son's question. "That was about thirty years ago, that means you'll get your full power in this year," he simply stated.
"On the 21st of June to be precise. At 9am. I would be lucky if I could prove my new won power at one of you. But until then, you won't be able to harm me. See ya!" Mr. Fieldner said and walked away.
"Vegeta! Why didn't you want me to attack him?" Jenny asked raged.
"Because he's invincible. He first will be vulnerable when he gets his full power…" So Vegeta told them everything he knew about the Oryx-jin and their abilities to pass their power at their death.
"So, that means that we can't do anything else than train and prepare everything for the fight on the 21st of June," Goku stated.
"Our graduation day. How neat," Trunks said sarcastically.
***********************************************************************************************
So, the bad guy is Mr. Fieldner!
Who would've thought? *g*
I have one question at you. I'm thinking about an DBZ/BtVS Crossover, and now I want to know from you, if I should start write it now, which would have the consequences that you have to wait longer for new chapters of this story and later the sequel, or if I should wait until I've finished both, this story and the sequel.
Apropos The Lost Warrior - The Sequel, here are a few fragments out of the prologue and a part of the first chapter:
"You can go back again and…" "And what? Ask the others for their help? No mom, I can't do that!"
"So, you've found about 8 power levels of which you think that they belong to warriors at this place?"
"Michael! Faith! Power down! I don't want you to destroy the park!"
'Where is she going? Didn't the other girl say something about surprising the kid's dad? Now I'll see who he is.'
"First answer my question. Who are you?" "Good. My name is Trunks Vegeta Briefs and…" She pinned him against the tree. "Wrong answer."
"My mother sent me here to get help."
"Daddy!" she squeaked. Trunks looked at her, shocked. 'Daddy?'
I hope you'll like it!
Eternally yours
