I saw the others trying to see if I was all right. I saw Marron leave
with the other guy and then I blacked out. I woke up in my bed two days
later. I've been in a coma since then. Bra, Goten, Pan, and Trunks were
there by my side the whole time. I woke up and talked to them.
"Hey," I greeted them with a smile.
"Rich!" They all yelled as they ran to me.
"Where's Marron?" I asked them.
"We called Krillin's house. He told us that she ran away," Trunks answered.
"When I get my hands on Marron, I'm going to just," Pan started.
"No. I'll handle it by myself," I told them as I sat up.
"Rich, why would she want to kill you?" Bra asked.
"I don't know. How did she get the gun? I thought you told me that Bulma made only one bullet and one gun," I asked Bra.
"She must've stolen it from the plane wreckage. She probably found some bullets in my mother hid from us in her car," Bra answered.
"I'm going to find her," I told them as I got up and took a few clothes.
"We'll help you," Trunks said.
"Look, Trunks, I know that wasn't Marron. Even though I couldn't even sense any evil ki, I know that wasn't her. If she did want to kill me, she'd have a good reason. Plus she has the gun and probably more bullets," I told them.
"What's your point?" Goten asked.
"It's better that one of us gets killed other than all five of us," I answered as I went into the bathroom to take a shower.
I got out of the shower and got dressed. I didn't think of hurting Marron. The only reason why I wanted to find her was because I needed her. I slept through two days without kissing her or holding her in my arms. I flew about a mile from the ground and tried to get a little sense of her ki. After about three minutes, I found it. I followed it and it took me to ten miles from Capsule Corporation. I saw Marron watering a garden outside of a little cottage. The cottage was like a fairy tale house. I walked up to her from behind and tapped her shoulder. She turned around and pointed the same gun at me.
"Hi, Rich. Nice to see you again," She said with a very evil smile.
"Who are you? Tell me!" I demanded.
"Don't you know? I'm Marron," She said as she cocked the gun back.
"No, I don't believe you. Marron loved me," I told her.
"I don't think she did," She said as she raised the gun to my throat.
At that moment, I saw some kind of machine part on her wrist. I knew it was some kind of remote control bug. Since it was a machine, no wonder I couldn't sense it. I tried to reverse it by talking to the real Marron.
"Seeing you point that gun at me right now breaks my heart," I told the real Marron.
"Rich! My wrist!" The real Marron yelled out.
"No! So you found out about me. It doesn't matter," The fake Marron said as she pointed the gun at her head.
I grabbed her wrist and crunched the remote control bug. Marron realized what happened and started crying.
"It wasn't me!" She yelled at me as she cried more and dropped the gun.
"I know," I told her as I held her and let out a sigh.
"Well done, Rich. Well done," My worst enemy said as he came out of the shadows.
"You did this? I swear I'll kill you," I told him.
"Some other time. The plan was to take your girlfriend so she could live with me and you all could rot looking for Marron. I had it all set with this little remote," He said as he pulled a little block with three buttons on it.
"You fucking bastard! I'm going to," I tried to continue, but he interrupted.
"What? Kill me? I was always the better one. This is my defeat today, Rich. When I see you again, not only will you be defeated, you'll be dead," He said as he disappeared.
"Who was that?" Marron asked.
"That was M," I answered.
"What did he mean by the better one?" She asked.
"We competed against each other since we were little kids at everything. It was usually fighting. I was the better one. It was all a game until the day he didn't like losing to me so he killed my parents. I didn't find out right away until I lost to him in a fight. I couldn't concentrate so I lost. He then told me he killed my parents. Ever since that day, he's been on the run. With the way things look, he's as strong as a Saiyan. Since he can disappear, I don't think he's human either," I told her as she held me tighter.
"Hey," I greeted them with a smile.
"Rich!" They all yelled as they ran to me.
"Where's Marron?" I asked them.
"We called Krillin's house. He told us that she ran away," Trunks answered.
