Hope Lives On
By: Ponytail Goddess
Chapter 1: Arrival
Bang! Bang! Someone knocked at the door of Capsule Corp.
"Damn it, who the hell is here?", Vegeta muttered as he stormed up to the door. The last thing he needed right now was one of those damn door-to- door salesmen. Today Bulma was not here to save the person from the fate of being kicked across the road.
Vegeta smirked. Kicking someone across the road might actually be worth opening the door. He went up to the door and yanked it open, only to find Kakarott's smiling brat on the doorstep.
"Hello Vegeta."
"What do you want?"
"Well, Videl and I thought that you might like to come have dinner at our house tonight, since Bulma and you kids are going to be gone for the week and all."
*Well*, Vegeta considered, *there is no food here, and his woman does cook like Kakarott's woman.*
"Very well, I-"
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A deafening noise came from outside. Both men ducked as flying metal parts shot their way. The Earth seemed to shake because of the huge explosion.
When it has settled down, both men rise. Flaming metal debris was scattered all over the neighborhood. Smoke was coming from the side of Capsule Corp.
"What the hell?!?!?", Vegeta said, and ran to the side of his house. Gohan quickly followed him. Vegeta stopped and gawked at the site. Both men's eyes widened at the site.
Some large metal object had apparently crashed into the gravity machine. Strips of metal and broken machinery parts were everywhere. The grass and the side of the house were charred. The main piece was flaming. Neighbors were running crazily around as if all hell had broke loose.
Vegeta picked up a smaller piece of metal that had landed next to his foot and stared at it, unbelievingly.
"Vegeta, what's wrong?"
He handed the metal piece to Gohan and ran over to the crash site. Gohan noticed that there were faded letters on this piece. He could barely make out what it said.
"Hope"
"TRUNKS!"
*~*~*~*~*
"HELP!", Hope screamed from inside of the burning machine. She could barely breathe with all the smoke smoldering around her. She had to get out of the machine before it was too late.
She tried to punch out the window, but then discovered that her right arm was broken. She shivered with disgust when she touched it. It was all bloody and she could feel the broken bone.
She then tried to scream again, but ended up in a fit of coughing instead. The heat of the place was becoming unbearable. She had to get out; her strength was escaping her. In a last attempt to get out, she pulled her leg up and kicked the top of the machine. The glass quickly shattered and rained down onto her face, scratching her up even more. With all the power she could summon up she quickly blasted up through the hole and up into the air.
She wasn't able to fly very far though. The lack of air made her fall to the ground gasping and coughing. She laid there and tried to catch her breath.
Suddenly she felt a hard-as-steel hand clamp onto her shoulder. She panicked.
"NO!", she screamed, and blindly kicked the person. She must have done a fair job at aiming too, because the person let her go and cursed as he fell over.
She quickly got to her knees and crawled away as fast as she could go. Soon she was up on her feet and limping away from the crash.
Another person grabbed her upper arm now, more gently than the last, stopping her. "Let me help you miss", he offered in a kind voice.
A familiar voice. That voice.it sounded like.but that was impossible. No, it couldn't be him, he was dead. Tears of remembrance streaked her cheeks now. Thinking of him always hurt her badly.
"No!", she said tearing away from the imposter's grasp. She ran, unsure of where she was, or where she was headed. He was following her, she could sense it.
*I have to fly or I won't get away from him*
With oxygen now flowing through her lungs, Hope felt that flying was now a possibility. She focused her ki while staggering down cement stairs. Soon she felt herself lift off. The warm breeze combed through her hair nicely. For a moment she almost forgot everything about the accident and her father and enjoyed the ride. But only for a moment.
*Damn, they are still following me!*
She knew what she had to try. Teleportation. She knew how to do it, but dreaded it. She had only done it one time before, and she always feared that she wouldn't end up in the right place, since she couldn't truly picture the place where she wanted to go. She could only remember how the place felt and hope that she got there alright.
*Well, I guess it's my only option.*
She summoned up as much power as she possibly could at that point in time, which wasn't much, but it would have to do. Then she quickly chose a destination that she knew would exist in this time and wasn't to far away to reach. She remembered its feel as best as she could.
*Here goes nothing*
She concentrated with all of her might, ignoring her followers as best as she could. Then she blasted off.
*~*~*~*~*
"Damn it!", both men exclaimed as the girl that they were chasing disappeared into thin air right before their eyes. She had been very hard to catch up to, and they had been almost to her when she obviously had teleported. How had she learnt that? Better yet, from whom did she learn that? And where did her power come from? Why did she take the Hope? All the questions, however, had no answer at the moment and left the two men stumped.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So, what did you think? Read and review! Pretty please? Thanks! Well, until the next chapter.
