DETERMINATION OF A GIRL
PT. 8
In the last part, Trunks gave Mimi a demonstration of turning into an ascended Super-Saiyan, which made her jealous. Trunks then took three months to teach her how to do it, then turn Super-Saiyan 2. After that they decided to come out of the Chamber after another month. Meanwhile Vegeta was on his way to bring back the two teenagers only to discover that another threat to Earth had arrived: Neo of planet Jova, who destroys planets for sport. All but three of the Z fighters have assembled. Will Trunks and Mimi emerge on time, and if so, will Mimi take Goku's place in battle?
* * * *
"So Mimi is Goku's daughter," said Neo. And Trunks is only a baby. They are no threat to me, he thought.
"Stall him. I'll go bring those kids," whispered Vegeta after some thought.
"Right," replied Gohan.
Vegeta took off towards the Lookout, leaving Gohan as the only hope.
"Where's he going?" asked Krillen, concerned.
"He's going to get Trunks and Mimi. Let's just hope that Mimi has trained hard," said Gohan.
"Why don't you all follow Vegeta? He obviously knows that he is no match for me. So why don't all of you?!" asked Neo.

Trunks sat on a stool in the bathroom as Mimi cut his hair.
"Hey not bad. You're doin a pretty good job," said Trunks.
"Thanks, you didn't do such a bad job yourself, although you did cut it a bit shorter than I asked," replied Mimi. "I said to cut it up to my waist."
"Yeah sorry about that," apologized Trunks.
"Ok…..you're……..all……….done!" said Mimi, putting down the scissors.
"Thanks," said Trunks, as he stood up and checked out his reflection in the mirror.
Outside, Vegeta arrived at the Lookout.
"Vegeta," said Piccolo.
"Where are those kids," asked Vegeta as he made his way to the Chamber door.
"They're still training. It's only been half a year in there," said Piccolo, following Vegeta.
"Well, I'm cutting their year short!"
"But you can not go in," Mr. Popo informed. "Only two people at a time may enter the Chamber."
Vegeta thought for a while before growling and turning his back on the others.
"If you want Vegeta, I'll go down and take your place on the battle field," Piccolo suggested. "I also felt Neo's energy."
"What are you going to do? You're no Saiyan," said Vegeta spinning around to face Piccolo.
"No, but don't you want to be here when your son comes out?"
"Fine, go if you want!" said Vegeta.
Piccolo smiled and ran to the edge of the Lookout before flying off, while Vegeta paced back and forth outside the Chamber door.

Another week had passed in the Chamber. Mimi was beginning to count down the days until they left. They decided to fill the remainder days with as much training as they could.
They fought in the training area, both in Super-Saiyan 2 mode. They gave each other all they had and fought non-stop, that is until Trunks kicked Mimi in the right shoulder, ripping the strap off her singlet top. She quickly turned around while holding her top up.
"Oh crap! Not again!" exclaimed Trunks.
"That's ok Trunks. It's only the second top," Mimi replied sarcastically.
"Sorry," he apologized again.
She turned around and looked at Trunks' clothes. They were all torn and his jacket was now useless.
"I know. I have an idea," she said as she walked back towards the beds. She fumbled around in her bag before pulling out a small capsule. She pushed the button on the top of it and threw it to the ground. It produced a small explosion, revealing a small square box. Mimi opened it and pulled out two Saiyan combat suits.
"Here," she said as she threw a blue suit at Trunks. "Your mum gave these to me just before we left."
"And you're only putting them to use now??!" asked Trunks.
"Hehe, yeah, I kinda forgot about them."
Mimi changed into her combat suit behind the curtains. When she walked out, Trunks was already in his. He wore the same suit as he did when he fought Cell. Mimi's was the same, only the colours were reversed. Instead of being blue, hers was a dark pink. Trunks' boots and gloves were white, but Mimi's were black. The armor that Trunks wore was white with gold, but Mimi's was black with silver.
"Looking good," said Trunks
"Why thank you. So, should we continue?"
"On guard," was his reply.
* * * *
"So. Who shall I exterminate first?" Neo asked.
"I'll be your first and last opponent!" yelled Gohan.
"Well all I see is talk and no action," answered Neo.
"What is so thrilling about destroying life?" Gohan asked angrily.
"Gohan, what are you doing?" whispered Krillen.
"I'm buying us some time. We really need the other Saiyans here. This guy is tough," Gohan whispered back.
"It really is exciting. You guys should try it some time," said Neo.
"No thanks! We'll pass on that one," said Tien, realizing Gohan's plan.
Everyone stood motionless. The Z fighters looked at each other, silently asking themselves to say something.
"Well isn't this boring?!" said Neo. "If you won't make the first move then I will. I'll crush you all like the bugs you are," he sneered.
"I'd like to see you try!" yelled Yamcha.
"Yamcha, you're just provoking him," said Krillen.
"Oops! Sorry."
"Then it's settled," said Neo. "I'll start with you then!"
"Wha??!" yelled Yamcha in shock.
"NO! I'm going to fight you!" yelled Gohan.
* * * *
Vegeta sat on the ground with his arms folded and legs crossed. He was startled when the Hyperbolic Time Chamber door opened.
"Huh?" he asked in shock. He could feel two great powers. And one of them was definitely Mimi.
The two teenagers showed themselves, in their new combat suits. Mimi emerged with a smile on her face, which quickly vanished when she saw Vegeta.
"Oh fuck! I mean, Vegeta, what are you doing here?" she asked.
"You're a…a…Super-Saiyan?" he stammered.
"Maybe," she said grinning.
"But how can this be, I thought…"
"You thought wrong," Trunks cut in.
Vegeta stood speechless for a while before he remembered what he went there for.
"There's no time for this! Let's go," Vegeta yelled.
"Huh? Go where?" asked Trunks.
"I'll explain on the way. COME ON!"
On their way to the battle site, Vegeta explained about Neo and his diabolical plans.
Mimi grinned to herself. Yes! This guy couldn't have arrived at an even better time. It's time to rock!!
