I do not own these characters; they belong to their respective owners. Keeren belongs to me and Missy and Teri belong to Missy and Teri.

This is a re-written version of the original version I wrote in the summer of 2002, it sucked royal ass, so I'm re-writing it! Enjoy! *********************

Chapter 4

Keeren opened her eyes wearily, taking a glance around her surroundings. The room was quiet, light coming in through the east facing windows. It was morning. She pushed herself away from the arm of the La-Z-boy and pushed her hair behind her ears. She threw a look at the sofa, where GT-Trunks lay. New tears sprung, wetting the salty remains from previous tears. She rubbed her eyes and stood from the chair, running a finger under her nose.

Stepping into the kitchen, she found Melissa, Teri, Mirai-Trunks, Legolas and Chichiri, Melissa and Chichiri standing while the rest sat.

"...can't just let her be like this! There has to be SOMTHING we can...." Melissa stopped her protesting when she felt Keeren's ki. She turned towards the door and found the female Saiya-Jin walking in.

"Ohiyoo gozaimasu...." Keeren said sleepily, her shoulders sulking and her head low as she walked almost in a trance. She reached up into the cupboard and pulled out a box of Capin'Crunch.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang in a sharp tune. The group looked up and Teri stood.

"I'll see who it is." She said, leaving the room. The rest of the room was quiet while half kept their eyes on Keeren, waiting for the moment she'd break out in tears the other adverting their eyes away, to keep her from breaking out in tears.

"Konichi-wa!" They heard Teri's voice ring from the front hall. A moment later she returned to the kitchen, a quartet of people behind her. Three girls and a boy.

The male was tall, with spiky white blond hair. He wore a black leather coat with shoulder guards, all trimmed in gold. Underneath he wore a gray bodysuit with green orbs attached on the chest and golden trimming on that as well. From his knees down he had large android legs with golden trims and green orbs by the ankles. This was Ace.

The first woman, Lorin, had deep chocolate skin and brown eyes. Her hair was loose and wavy, a golden tiara resting on her forehead. She wore a green dress, one side sleeved the other strapped. Three belts ran across her body, one across her chest and two on her waist, a dagger attached to one on her hips. large golden earrings in both ears while a large golden bracelet rest on her sleeve-less wrist and on her left ankle.

The second woman, known as Alisha, she had shoulder length brown hair in the style that Keeren wore hers. Her green eyes shined brightly from her brown cloak she wore. It was long and baggy, but let her hide her weapon, a light saber of bright purple.

The third and final woman had short red hair framing her pale face with blue eyes. She wore a fairly comfortable outfit of a tee shirt and jeans with a small pink scarf tied around her neck. Strapped against her back was a quiver filled with metal arrows and along with those was a sharp clean bow with a short dagger attached at her hip, this was Ainslee.

"Hi guys." Melissa said, smiling to them. Ace stepped up to Teri, who had her back to him. Tapping his finger on her shoulder she turned. He held out a sheathed sword to her. The hilt had a runic design carved into it and spikes spearing out at the side.

"You said you needed a sword since you can use one now. So here ya go." Ace said. Teri nodded, taking the blade.

"Arigato" She smiled, pulling it from its sheath. She gazed at the clean blade, her reflection staring back at her. It was clean and spotless for now, but soon it would have the blood of revenge on it.

Alisha looked around the room, being the second time she was ever here. Her eyes scanned past the faces of Legolas, Chichiri and Mirai-Trunks, she grinned on the inside, admiring their appearances, but when she looked upon Keeren, she frowned. There she sat, head bowed, and mechanically pushing Capin'Crunch Cereal into her mouth. Teri had told her over the phone what had happened, she never imagined a person like Keeren to react to it such as she had.

"Oh! You're all here." Chiriko said, walking into the room as he put his hair into his usual fashion. "I figured out the problem."

The group looked towards Chiriko, all quietly wondering what he had thought up.

"I was working on ideas on how to 'destroy' this kid's mind and I came across this formula" Chiriko pulled a small-capped syringe of pale green liquid from his side and held it before everyone. "This liquid can do the same thing to one's mind as that kid can do."

Keeren looked over to him, smiling, and her hopes for her lover's safe recovery rising to the roof.

"How do you use it?" Mirai-Trunk asked.

"Well, for quickest results it must be injected into the spine just above the collar bone. It will paralyze the victim for about five seconds as it works it's way into the brain and kills every single cell in it. But... there's a catch..." Chiriko put the syringe into his pocket. "He must be weakened at least 60% first, or else it'll just be worked off as sweat and an immunity will be built up."

The room was silent, each looking towards each other in question. Suddenly, Keeren rose from the table, her hands still residing on the edge and her head bowed.

"I don't care what it takes...." She started. "But that boy WILL pay."

She lifted her head, turning and baring her fist in front of her chest.

"And if that's the only chance we have of killing him and saving Trunks then so be it." She dropped her fist and glared. "But he will NOT get away with this!"

Keeren took deep breaths and turned to everyone else.

"Who's going to help me?"

Again there was a sustained silence. Melissa finally stepped forward and nodded.

"I will, and with Suzaku as my witness I will not let you down."

Keeren smiled and nodded to her friend.

"I'll help." Mirai-Trunks said. "Sure the guy's never been much of a friend of mine but we're the same person. I gotta help."

Keeren looked towards everyone else.

"Damn straight, I'll help ya out K-chan." Said Teri. "I think I wanna make a new type of stir fry." She patted the Issues Blade that lay on the table. Keeren smiled, her hopes high. Revenge was at hand. Sooner or later, everyone agreed to help, even Chiriko and Lorin. They made plans to start looking for the causer of chaos at three o'clock the next day.

*********************

Tasuki stood before a full-length mirror, admiring himself in his Saiya-Jin style, Capsule Corp made battle uniform. Dark blue spandex with a flexible yet durable tank top armor with white gloves and gold tipped boots. He buckled his golden rod strap across his chest, his pride and joy, the Tessen, attached to his back. Melissa stepped into the bedroom, wearing a similar armor outfit as Tasuki, except a dark purple. She smiled at Tasuki and came up to his side.

"At ease soldier." She said, a sly grin wiped across her face.

"What?"

"Never mind."

"Do ya really think I can actually help in th' battle?" Tasuki asked, resting a hand on the top of the mirror and shifting his weight. Melissa nodded, facing Tasuki's reflection.

"Of coarse I do. You're one of the strongest human's I've met. And who knows, maybe this guy's weakness is fire. Ya never know." He shivered as he felt Melissa's tail run across his rear. He looked at Melissa and crossed his arms across his chest.

"What? I don't control this damn thing yet!"

"Yeah, well ya better keep it onna leash or mah ass is gonna be off limits to ya!"

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Oh I dare all right." Tasuki said, stalking up to Melissa, who backed away playfully. She opened her arms out to him in a playful dare.

"You want me? Come 'n get me, hot cakes."

Tasuki let out a growl as he charged up to Melissa, who quickly darted to the side as he reached her. She giggled and took off out of the room, with Tasuki chasing at her heels. She jumped down the stairs and went into the living room.

She stopped abruptly when she found everyone standing, each with a serious look on their face. The ones who chose to fight, Teri, Legolas, Nuriko, Mirai-Trunks, Ainslee, Alisha, Ace and Keeren stood to one side, preparing their weapons, while those who chose to stay on the sidelines and help the fallen, Chichiri, Chiriko and Lorin, stood to the other side. Tasuki suddenly ran into Melissa's backside, causing her to stumble forward. She turned and glared at the ex-bandit, who was chuckling to himself.

Keeren bent down by the sofa, pushing a lock of GT-Trunks's lavender hair behind his ear. She leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on the Saiya- Jin's lips and she whispered into his ear.

"I'll never let you die...."

She stood up straight, wiping her eyes of fresh tears as she stretched in her black armor. She turned to her friends and nodded.

"You ready?"

Everyone nodded in return. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"Who the hell-"

Suddenly, there was a giant flare of ki and the entire front wall of the house was blown away. Cries of fear and pain were heard as debris went flying. Chichiri quickly covered those closest to him with his kesa to keep them safe as everyone else ducked for cover.

When the smoke finally cleared, Teri shook her head and stood, brushing herself of dust. She glared to the east, sensing the ki of the enemy.

"He's here...." She said, taking a battle position, her tail flailing around madly. Keeren stood, letting out a growl of rage as she clenched her fingers like claws and took short breaths as she prepared to attack. The sharp, cruel laugh rang out through the lower half of the building, several of the residents wincing at the pitch of it. Finally, all the smoke disappeared and all that was standing before him was the boy.

"Wow, they're a LOT of you! I'm going to have a busy day!"

"Who the hell are you?" Keeren hissed through her teeth, her eyes burning in anger.

"Oh yes, I forgot. Only one of you heard my name and he is... how can I say this? Unavailable?" He laughed again. "My name is Ryuu-Omoi, my purpose is obvious. I am an genetic wonder, one third Saiya-jin, part Elf, and part Zulang."

He looked across the puzzled face of his enemies.

"I can see you have no idea what a Zulang is. It's an ancient race from a planet far away. I'm afraid I am the last one with their DNA. But they are a powerful creature. In an instant they can switch from mental to physical strength.

"Few of you have seen my full mental strength, but I sense a battle approaching, so I guess I should switch!!"

He laughed again, his fists clenching. Rue threw his head back, still laughing. His heartbeat seemed to ripple over his body, each time it growing. Muscles doubled in size, limps growing. He was getting stronger, faster, and and ten times more powerful than before.

"Ah, SHIT!" Ace cursed, drawing his blade.

"This is my battle!" Keeren interrupted, summoning her red ki. She let out a cry of rage as she powered up.

"Keeren!" Chiriko shouted. Keeren turned her head back to him in time to catch a syringe.

"Good luck!"

Keeren smiled and nodded, putting the syringe in the pocket between her chest and armor. She turned back to Ryuu just as he finished his morph.

"How do I look?" Ryuu asked, his voice deeper than before. Keeren let out a battle cry as she lunged forward, fists bared. She began throwing countless punches at Ryuu. He blocked them all with ease. He uppercut Keeren, sending her into the ceiling. Keeren cried out and pulled herself out. She glared down at Ryuu as she summoned a red ball of ki.

"KA-ME-HA-ME-HA!!" She cried, sending the blast towards him. He was hit in the chest and he stumbled backwards. She plummeted down to him and kicked him in the nose, hurling his head backwards. Punch after punch she sent into his skull.

Melissa's brow furrowed, and she turned to Chichiri.

"Chiri! Get GT-Trunks and everyone out of here!"

"But-"

"Now! If we need you we'll come and get you!"

Chichiri nodded. "Right!" He looked to Chiriko and Lorin at his side and nodded to them. Lorin dashed over to where GT-Trunks lay and she picked lifted him from the debris, Chiriko helping with the other side. Chichiri ran back towards the patio while the others hurried behind.

Keeren screamed an infinity of insults as she placed blow after continues blow onto her enemy. Inside she grinned as she felt his ki slowly decreasing.

"Something's not right." Legolas said. "Keeren can't be that strong and be winning so easily!"

"You're right!" Alisha agreed. "Ryuu is much stronger than this...."

Keeren shot behind Ryuu and sent a sharp kick to his back. She heard a loud snap as he hit the ground.

"Now's my chance!" Keeren said aloud. She pulled the syringe from her pocket and looked at it. She flew downwards, holding the syringe reading.

"DIE!!!" She cried, pushing it downwards.

Ryuu let out a laugh as he spun around, his hand smacking the syringe away from Keeren and his other hand snapping a sharp grip around Keeren's throat. She let out a cry as her lungs struggled for air.

"You assume too much." Ryuu said, a sick grin planted onto his face. Keeren coughed and gasped, her hands desperately trying to pull the hand away. Ryuu walked over to where the syringe lay and picked it out of the debris. His gaze shot to Melissa, who was sneaking up slowly on him.

"I wouldn't recommend your doing that."

"And why th' fuck not?"

"Because I'll do this." He tighter his grip on Keeren, causing her to yell out in pain, a tear slid down her cheek. "Only much harder."

Melissa growled, her tail lashing around. She clenched her fists, sparks of electricity flowing in and out of her skin. Ryuu looked towards his torture child and glared at her.

"What is the purpose of this?" He held the syringe up between two fingers. His brow furrowed and he used his weak mental powers to read her thoughts. The information poured into his mind.

"Melt my mind? How very thoughtful! Shame you were too much of a stubborn bitch to know that people can lower their ki levels at will."

"Go... fuck a duck." Keeren gasped, still struggling with the fingers tightly enclosed around her throat.

"Idiot...." Ryuu muttered. He slowly loosened his grip on her, until he finally let go. Keeren hovered in mid air, staring bewildered at the man in front of her.

"Mercy?" She asked, confused.

"Nope." Ryuu replied, his hand quickly went behind her and easily went into her spine.
