Chapter 10: Reflections

Shastania felt salty tears of anguish trickle down her tanned face as she looked out onto the horizon, where the sun was slowly setting into the ocean. The evening breeze blew through her spikey red hair, blowing several strands into her glowing, emerald green eyes. A strangled sob escaped her pink lips.

"Kayla….please don't die….you're all I have left…."she sobbed quietly to herself. She closed her eyes and felt the evening breeze swirl around her.

The feeling of someone's hand on her shoulder snapped her out of woefull thoughts. She opened her eyes to find herself staring into a pair of ice blue eyes.

"Shastania…Kayla's not going to die."Trunks whispered as he brushed several strands of crimson hair out of Shastania's eyes.

She sighed heavily and shook her head."I'm sorry….I..i though he'd never find us on Earth…but I was wrong……all the chaos….all the suffering…my sister….I…I did'nt mean for this to happen…."she said, her voice breaking as she began to sob.

Trunks shook his head. "It's not your fault…"he said, squeesing Shastania's shoulder gently.

She looked up at him, her face shiny with tears.

"Then why do I feel so guilty?"

Trunks pulled her into a comforting embrace. "Hey, don't feel like that….Kayla would'nt want you to be weak..you need to be strong…for her sake…"he said.

Shastania pulled out of his embrace and wiped her eyes on the sleeve of her blue training suit. "You're right….sorry…it's just…everything's all gone to H.F.I.L….it's all happening so fast…"

Trunks gave her a weak smile. "It'll be alright….we'll stop Kazimo…..I promise."

"Thanks, Trunks…you're a real pal….."Shastania said. Trunks grinned his boyish grin and rubbed the back of his head. "Well, I try!"

Shastania chuckled weakly. Trunks smiled."Coming back to the Capsule Corp?"

Shastania looked out at the sunset."Y..Yeah…sure.."she said. And with that, she turned and followed the purple haired demi-saiyen as she took to the skys…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~At the Capsule Corp, several minutes later…~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Goten looked, worried, at the heart monitor next to the bed. It was beeping steadily, but weakly. Kayla showed no signs of awakening any time soon. Goten had been racked with guilt. He could have prevented this, but he was powerless, inmobilized to stop Kazimo.

He clenched his hands into fists as he thought of what Kazimo could have possibly done to inflict such serious injurys on Kayla.

There was a sudden loud beep. Goten gasped and turned to see the heart monitor flat-lining.

"OH SHIT! BULMAAAAAAA!!!! HELP!!! QUICK!! SHE'S FLAT-LININ'!!"he yelled frantically, unsure of what to do.

About 3 seconds later, Bulma burst into the room, equipted with electronic heart paddles.

"Goten, get out of my way!"she yelled, as she quickly set up the heart padels.

"CLEAR!!"she yelled. She zapped Kayla with the padels. Nothing.

"Come on, Kayla! Don't give up!!!"Goten yelled from the sidelines.

"CLEAR!!"Bulma screamed again, as she repeatedly zapped Kayla.

Soon, the steady beep of a heart monitor echoed around the room. "That was close…"Bulma said, wiping her brow. She turned to Goten."If her heart rate drops again, zap her with 600 watts. No more than that, Goten. You understand?" she said as she handed the paddles to Goten.

"Sure."Said Goten, breathing hard.

Trunks and Shastania turned a corridor and walked into Bulma's lab. "Hey, where's Mom?"Trunks said, looking around at the vacent laboritory. Shastania's brow furrowed in pain and a hand shot up to hold her temple. She groaned and leaned against a table for balance.

"Shastania!! What's wrong?!"Trunks yelled.

"Kayla…she's in trouble….I can barely sense her anymore…"Shastania groaned.

"Shastania…..is she…?!"Trunks gasped. Shastania groaned and shook her head. "She's weakening…..if we don't stop Kazimo soon, she'll……she'll….oh, I can't even say it…"she said.

Trunks motioned her to follow him."Come on…..we gotta see if she's alright."

Goten gazed intensly at Kayla, lying in a deep coma in the bed. He ran a hand along his lips and closed his eyes, remembering the kiss they had shared in the Gravity Room. He sighed. She's gonna hate me when she wakes… He thought in despair. He took one of Kayla's delicate hands in his own and raised it to his cheek. He gently nuzzled her hand, hoping that it might do something to help awaken her…

"Kayla…forgive me…..please…please don't hate me…"He whispered sadly, as he placed her hand back down on the bed.

Just then, the door swung open and Shastania and Trunks entered the room. Shastania rushed to her sister's bedside. "Kayla-chan…?"she said, her voice strangled by tears that threatened to fall.

"How is she, Goten?" Trunks asked. Goten looked up at his purple haired friend. "We almost lost her a while ago…….she's stable, but still not over the worst……..if only I hate woken up eariler…I could've prevented this…"he said woefully.

"Goten….I'm sorry I yelled at you like that…..it's…it's just that I was scared…."Shastania said, sitting down next to Goten.

"It's okay..you had every reason to blame me….i screwed up big time….."Goten said.

"Quit blaming yourself, Goten! This was all Kazimo Tair's fault, not yours!"Trunks growled in anguish. Shastania raised a hand to silence him. "Hush, Trunks….."she said. Trunks sighed in frustration and leaned against the wall. He ran a hand through his hair and looked up at the ceiling.

"Sorry…I'm just so pissed off at Kazimo Tair….he hurt Kayla, not only physically, but emotionally too…."he said.

Shastania looked at her comatose sister. "Kayla….we will have revenge on Kazimo for all he has done to you….he shall pay with his life for his crimes…"she said with determination in her voice.

Shastania's brow furrowed again. "Huh?"

Trunks turned to face the red-haired warrioress."What's wrong?"

Shastania shook her head, looking confused."Strange…I can sense a new ki….it's faint……but it's there……"she said.

Goten looked at Shastania quizzically. He then turned to Kayla and tried to sense a ki. Yes, he could feel it…a small, female ki….it was faint, but he knew he was'nt imagining things.

"Oh Kami….."Goten mummured.

"What does this mean?"Trunks asked.

Shastania's hands had clenched into fists and her eyes were closed as if she was fighting an urge to go Super Saiyen. "It means…..Kazimo has inpregnated my sister……she is carrying his spawn…."she said throught gritted teeth.

Goten and Trunk's eyes went wide and the colour drained from their faces. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!"

"It is the only explanation……Kazimo, you fucking bastard!!! You will pay….YOU WILL PAAAAAAAY!!!!"Shastania shrieked and with an amazing surge of power, exploded into Super Saiyen form and blasted through the window, causing shards of broken glass to rain down on the floor.

Trunks raced to the window and heaved himself out. He turned to Goten. "Stay here. Tell the others what's happened….I'm going after Shastania…"he said.

Before Goten could even respond, Trunks had turned Super Saiyen. With a yell, he blasted into the air and was soon nothing but a fiery speck on the horizon.

"Be careful, Trunks….."Goten whispered as he stared after his life-long friend…..

Elsewhere….

Kazimo Tair smirked down upon his creation: A large, stone ring lay in the middle of the West Capital City outskirts. Inside the ring was paved with black stone tiles and the ring was covered by blood-red flames that reached high into the sky, burning with an air of evil.

"Yes, this will make a fine arena!"Kazimo chuckled to himself.

He landed in the middle of the arena and folded his arms. He bowed his head and sighed. "Now I must play the waiting game.."he said.

Suddenly, his head jerked up."Hmm?"

He could feel two ki's approching. He smirked to himself as he felt them grow nearer.

"So Shastania and that purple haired hippy wanna a pre-match warmup? Heh heh…those ignorant fools….they fail to realize that I am the most powerful being in this universe….No matter..i will simply put those fools out of their misery…."Kazimo said, an evil grin crossing his face……….
