Maiden of Destiny Chapter 2
Bulma kept looking at the screen in disbelief. It continued to bring up a bunch of information on the girl. Aside from that it didn't show a skeleton it showed metal! (A.N.- I have no idea what century it is during DBZ so sorry, I couldn't put what year on DOB.) *On the Computer Screen* Name: Lei-Fang Gero Present Age: 17 DOB: 12/24/??
Age of Disappearance: 12 Date of Disappearance: 08/13/?? Blood: O+ Sex: Female Eyes: Black Hair: Black Born: Tokyo, Japan (A.N.- of course Tokyo like almost every person in anime.) Profile: Lei-Fang Gero is the younger sister of the intelligent scientist Dr.Gero. Personality is she was sweet to a fault so sweet she won being the object of her father's affections. Disappeared on August 13 six years to nine years ago. It was rumored her brother was involved in the young girls disappearance, but police detectives could not locate him. His assistant Naomi Sherai was arrested and interrogated. She has claimed Gero turned his younger sister into an android for a purpose to do with a mythical item called the Dragon Ball. She claimed they could grant wishes. Naomi now is living peacefully and remains at Cherry Grove Mental Institution. *Back to the Lab*
The girl had blood and metal in her! Did Gero.? "Where did this come from, and what could she have to do with the Dragon Balls?" Bulma asked. "I don't know." Said Yamcha. Krillin and him were reading over Bulma's shoulder. They glanced at Lei-Fang who was sitting over on one those hospital beds for check-ups. "Who is she? Whom are you talking about?" Lei-Fang asked curiously. "Group meeting." Krillin said. "We'll be right back." Said Yamcha nervously. They ran out of the room leaving Lei-Fang behind. They stopped and began to talk. "She's an android! That's strange you can hardly tell. She seems so sweet and shy. Do you think she knows? Do you think it's just an act?" Bulma questioned. "Let's ask if she remembers where she is from. If she doesn't then it we won't mention this. If she does know then it might be best not to tell the others, no telling how they'd react. We should keep an eye on her for anything. I also suggest we investigate on the Dragon Balls and what they have to do with her." Yamcha said stroking his chin. Bulma rolled her eyes knowing he was only trying to act smart. "Of course I would see what she has to do with the Dragon Balls smart one!" Bulma said.
When they returned Lei-Fang was sitting quietly with her legs swinging on the side of the bed. Bulma, Yamcha, and Krillin entered the room. "Do you remember where you are from?" asked Bulma. That was fast! Bulma certainly doesn't waste time. Lei-Fang looked shocked for a moment and then went deep in thought. "Not really. I never really thought about it actually. All I remember is waking up in a cave like place filled with a bunch of weird gizmos and stuff. It was pretty wrecked too." She answered. "We wrecked Dr. Gero's lab, remember in order to terminate Cell?" Krillin whispered to Yamcha. Yamcha nodded. "Well the check-up is over and you passed. However I'd like to keep you here for a while. If you don't mind sleeping on the couch that is." Said Bulma. "Of course I don't mind I would be delighted." She said politely. "Who says delighted anymore?" asked Krillin in a whisper. Bulma hit him on the back of the head. "Ouch! What was that for?" Krillin yelled. "She was just being polite, Krillin." Bulma yelled. Just then Vegeta, Roshi, and Trunks walked in. "What took you?" asked Bulma. "We uh had a little car trouble." Said Trunks. Roshi and Vegeta exchanged glances. "Ready to go?" asked Roshi eying Lei-Fang. "Actually I decided to keep Lei-Fang here." Bulma said. "What! Since when must we keep her?" Vegeta said. "Ya why can't she come with us?!" Roshi said disappointed. "Vegeta she staying and that's that." Bulma said back. Trunks looked away in embarrassment as his parents kept feuding.
It was dinnertime and Bulma was holding baby Trunks while she stirred some soup. "I don't see why I have to hide my powers from her." Vegeta pouted in an upset voice. Him and Trunks were in the living room sitting on the couch. It was connected to the kitchen that had a counter separating the rooms except for the doorway through which you could enter the kitchen form the living room but you could see the kitchen from the living room still. "Vegeta don't start." Bulma warned. Lei-Fang was sitting at the table. 'I wonder what that is that makes her stuff she makes so hot. It's weird how come I don't remember something like that.' She said looking at the stove curiously. Lei-Fang looked at everyone around her who were in their own little worlds. Vegeta went up stairs while Bulma went up the garage to get something in their other refrigerator. 'I wonder how it feels.' Lei-Fang thought to herself. Quietly she got up and approached the stove. She looked at it then back at Trunks who was watching TV. Quietly she let her finger hesitantly touch the tip of it. She yelped and pulled her hand away holding her burned finger. Trunks heard her yelp and ran in. "Trunks it attacked me!" she said pointing to the stove. Trunks looked blindly at what she pointed at, it was the stove. Trunks smirked. "What do I do?" she asked frantically. "First you get some ice on it." Trunks said taking her hand and holding some ice to her finger. "What about the thing. It hurt me." She pointed to it again. Trunks held back his laughter. "Maybe it thought you were going to hurt it." He teased. Lei-Fang thought he was serious. "But I just wanted to feel it. Aren't you going to do something?" she asked. "Like what?" he asked. "Beat it up." She said giving an innocent look that was hard to resist. Trunks burst into laughter, not a loud one, but definitely laughter. "I was just kidding. It's a stove it doesn't have life in it. It is hot when you want it to be and can cook food." He explained taking away the ice. "Now come over here where I can watch you." Trunks said. Just then Lei-Fang tripped and Trunks quickly reacted by catching her. Lei-Fang looked up innocently at Trunks for a moment. Just then Bulma walked. "I see you two hit it off." Bulma said teasingly. Lei-Fang quickly got up and she blushed a deep red on her cheeks, as did Trunks. "Now wait a minute it's not what you think!" Trunks said panicking and blushing.
The dinner was quiet, but Bulma kept thinking and glancing at Lei-Fang. 'She seems so sweet and human. Is it possible she still isn't completely android?' Bulma thought. Then she noticed Lei-Fang's finger was red and somewhat swollen. "What happened to your finger?" she asked. "Oh I burned it accidentally." Lei-Fang explained. 'She is even feels the pain of a burn and reacts.' Bulma added to her thoughts. "There is no accident in touching a hot stove." Vegeta said coldly. "You saw that!" asked Trunks. "That's not all I saw." Vegeta said shooting a look at Trunks. (A.N.- For those who have not seen the Cell Saga, which would be scary, Trunks is from the future around this time. He is Bulma and Vegeta's son whom in the present is a baby. He later returns to the future though and is never seen in Dragon Ball Z again. I know it stinks.) Lei-Fang blushed again as did Trunks.
At Chichi's. Chichi hears a knock at the door while she is washing dishes. She wipes off her hands and opens the door. Gohan is listening. "Yes, may I help you?" She says. "Is someone by the name Lei-Fang here? I was at a park today and saw someone who resembled her." asks a man. He appears to be her age and had has short spiked navy hair and ice-cold blue eyes. Gohan notices his red scarf around his neck had the Red Ribbon Army sign. "Why do you want to know? Are you an old friend or family perhaps?" asks Chichi. "Do you know who she is or where she's from?" Chichi adds. "Yes my name is Nolan." He answers. She was about to say something when Gohan interrupted. "We met a girl like that earlier but she left. I don't know where she went." Gohan said quickly. The man narrowed his eyes. Chichi looks confused. "Very well I shall leave you in peace." The man says and leaves. Gohan rushes to call Bulma. He could since a strange power level from him and didn't have such a great feeling.
Trunks was reading the living room when Lei-Fang entered and sat beside him. "Thank you." She said. "For what?" Said Trunks looking up at her. She is blushing and fiddling with her sleeves. "For catching me." She replied. He blushed lightly. "N-no problem." He answered. "Whatcha doin'?" she asked sitting closer to look at the book. "Reading." He answered. "Why are you reading?" she asked. This being Lei-Fang and all was not trying to annoy him but took it seriously and was kind of clueless. The whole time Trunks never looked up at her. "Because I like to." "Why do you like to read?" "Because it's an interesting book." "Why is it an interesting book?" Trunks lowered is book and looked at her. She was looking innocent. But she was still serious about the questioning. Just didn't know it was sounding like she was trying to be annoying. "Well." she said. He stared at her. Trunks smirked. "Why do you ask so many questions?" "I'm curious." "Why are you curious?" "Because I don't know about this stuff and it's interesting." "Why's it interesting?" "I don't know." "How come you don't know?" Lei-Fang and Trunks sat there and stared. "I don't like you." She said walking away. "I know." Trunks replied smirking and turning to his book.
"So do you like to fight?" Bulma asked reading a newspaper. "I don't know how to." Lei-Fang answered. "Women are weak." Vegeta said entering. "Ya well men are sexist." Bulma retorted. Vegeta didn't bother. "Hello." Trunks approached the table. "Good morning." Lei-Fang bowed her head. "Can you cook or baby-sit by chance." Bulma asked Lei-Fang. "I'm not sure. Why?" she answered. "Well I have to go visit a scientist today. I need someone to baby-sit and Trunks and Vegeta will be training." "I can try." Lei-Fang said looking at the floor. "Well me and Vegeta will be at Chichi's training today with Gohan, Piccolo, and Krillin." Trunks told. "I'll tell you how to take care of Trunks, the baby one that is." Bulma said looking at Lei-Fang.
Trunks, Bulma, and Vegeta were all gone. Lei-Fang was putting baby Trunks in his crib and tucking him in when she heard the door knocked. When she answered it there stood Nolan. "Can I help you?" she said sweetly. "Are you Lei-Fang?" he asked. She was starting to feel scared. "Ye-yes, why?" she asked. He pulled back some of his cloak revealing the R sign of Dr.Gero. "The Red Ribbon Army!" she screamed. She pushed the door closed and locked it. She ran to baby Trunks and grabbed him. She heard the door break open as ran up to the second floor and looked around for a place to hide Trunks. She put him in a closet in Trunks' room leaving the door cracked open for air and wrapped him with blankets. She left the room and peeked around the corner. No one was there. She tiptoed to Bulma's room. She picked up the phone and dialed Bulma's cell phone number. "Hello Bulma here." Said Bulma's voice on the other end. Lei- Fang's voice was shaking. "Bulma it's me Lei-Fang hurry you must-" a strong arm choking her neck cut off Lei-Fang from Bulma. His other hand went around her mouth. "Hello.Lei-Fang ya there? Hello?" Bulma's voice was heard from the cell phone. Nolan crushed it with his foot. "Be a good girl and come with me and I won't have to pull any unnecessary measures." He whispered amusingly in her ear. She bit his hand and spat in his face. "Why you little.I know. How much do you treasure that baby?" he asked smiling. "He's in the closet right." He confirmed. She gasped. He grabbed her hand. "Let go." She demanded struggling. She spat in his face. His hand grabbed her neck and it making a cracking sound knocking her unconscious (A.N.- he didn't brake her neck just now otherwise she would be dead). She fell forward and he caught her. Then carried her out of the house. Just then she woke up. She squirmed in his arms and screamed for help. "Do you want me to hurt anybody who gets in the way?" he reminded. She kicked him in the 'you know what.' She ran inside and pressed some button on a little device attached to the wall. Soon strong barriers came over the doors and windows. She breathed desperately. Then she went to get baby Trunks. Good thing Bulma had a security invention.
Vegeta, Trunks, Krillin, Piccolo, and Gohan were training when they heard the phone ring. Chichi answered and handed it to Vegeta. "What is it?" Vegeta asked. "It's me Bulma. Listen Vegeta Lei-Fang just called she sounded really worried. The phone made a clunk sound and I heard some voices, but the phone went dead shortly after that. I'm really worried. I need you guys to return home. I'm on my way there but you guys can fly and get there faster than I can probably." Bulma said and hung up. "What was that about?" asked Krillin. "Bulma called. She said Lei-Fang called her and sounded worried, then she heard some voices, but the phone went dead. She's on her way home. I wouldn't bother, it was probably something stupid, but I'm heading back to train in the gravity room anyway." Vegeta said. So him and Trunks flew off.
Bulma sped down the road. She quickly stopped to see her barriers at her house activated. "Sounds bad." She said fearfully. She walked up to a small camera. "Name Bulma, password Roshi is a jerk." Bulma said. It let down the barrier. Her door wasn't there anymore. She entered to see Lei-Fang deeply sleeping on the couch. Trunks was in his crib sleeping as well. She looked around though, and to her horror there was an awful mess. "I'd hate to wake her right now. But what happened? I'll go to my lab and watch the security cameras." Bulma said and went to the lab. She watched the video (I certainly get to the point don't I?). "So Lei-Fang does know about the Red Ribbon Army. Maybe she knows what she is then. Why did that guy want her though? Does he know about what's going on with the Dragon Balls? Does she know? It would be reasonably for him to know. The Red Ribbon Army wanted to use the Dragon Balls to dominate the world, but that was so long ago. Only Dr. Gero survived." she debated and fell back into a chair. Then she heard what sounded like Vegeta's voice. "What in Bloody's name happened?" he yelled. "That's Vegeta alright." Bulma said and got up.
Vegeta looked at the mess. Lei-Fang woke up immediately. Trunks looked at her also. Vegeta pulled her to him by the collar. "What did you do woman?" he asked. "I didn't cause it. Or I didn't mean to be the reason." She whispered looking away in shame. "Vegeta we had an intruder that's all." Bulma's voice said. Vegeta let Lei-Fang go. Bulma mentioned nothing of the video though. "Lei-Fang can we talk?" she asked. "Sure." Bulma and Lei-Fang went into the basement, which had a couch and TV as the living room did. She closed the door behind them and walked down the stairs. "Do you know what you are?" Bulma asked. "What I am. No, I mean I think human if that's what you mean or do you mean family?" "Both if possible." "I have a feeling I'm not real if that's what you mean. As for family I don't remember one." "What do you mean not real?" "I don't feel human. The blood running in my veins feels like it isn't my own blood." Bulma stood silenced. "There is something you need to know." She said calmly.
It had been five hours after. Lei-Fang locked herself in the basement. Bulma wouldn't tell Vegeta and Trunks why, she just continued to clean up. Sometimes when Trunks walked by he would tap the door and ask if she was all right. She wouldn't respond. Krillin and Gohan were there too helping clean up. Soon it was dinnertime and Lei-Fang still didn't come out. Vegeta and Trunks sat at the table and looked over as Bulma gently tapped the basement door. "Lei-Fang please come out and have something." Bulma pleaded. "I'm not hungry." Lei-Fang said in a soft yet weak voice. Trunks flinched. She sounded fragile, and she was very innocent person too. The weakness in it sounded so helpless. It reminded him of how people acted in the future. Lost, scared, and weary. Losing so much losing something so precious. They had no dreams and were so helpless. "Let her do as she wishes. Just what is her problem though? Woman I seriously think you are hiding something and we have a right to know." Vegeta said eating. "Vegeta be nice to her for once. She didn't know something personal and I told her, now she's sad and upset." Bulma said taking a seat. "How did you know this?" Vegeta asked. "And how did she not?" he added. "Well I found out from her check-up. Nothing you need to know." Bulma explained. "Is Lei-Fang sick? Is it something fatal?" asked Gohan thinking the worst. "No Gohan that's not it. Just something about her heritage is more like it." Bulma replied.
Bulma kept looking at the screen in disbelief. It continued to bring up a bunch of information on the girl. Aside from that it didn't show a skeleton it showed metal!

Bulma mentioned nothing of the video though. "Lei-Fang can we talk?" she asked. "Sure." Bulma and Lei-Fang went into the basement, which had a couch and TV as the living room did. She closed the door behind them and walked down the stairs. "Do you know what you are?" Bulma asked. "What I am. No, I mean I think human if that's what you mean or do you mean family?" "Both if possible." "I have a feeling I'm not real if that's what you mean. As for family I don't remember one." "What do you mean not real?" "I don't feel human. The blood running in my veins feels like it isn't my own blood." Bulma stood silenced. "There is something you need to know." She said calmly.
It had been five hours after. Lei-Fang locked herself in the basement. Bulma wouldn't tell Vegeta and Trunks why, she just continued to clean up. Sometimes when Trunks walked by he would tap the door and ask if she was all right. She wouldn't respond. Krillin and Gohan were there too helping clean up. Soon it was dinnertime and Lei-Fang still didn't come out. Vegeta and Trunks sat at the table and looked over as Bulma gently tapped the basement door. "Lei-Fang please come out and have something." Bulma pleaded. "I'm not hungry." Lei-Fang said in a soft yet weak voice. Trunks flinched. She sounded fragile, and she was very innocent person too. The weakness in it sounded so helpless. It reminded him of how people acted in the future. Lost, scared, and weary. Losing so much losing something so precious. They had no dreams and were so helpless. "Let her do as she wishes. Just what is her problem though? Woman I seriously think you are hiding something and we have a right to know." Vegeta said eating. "Vegeta be nice to her for once. She didn't know something personal and I told her, now she's sad and upset." Bulma said taking a seat. "How did you know this?" Vegeta asked. "And how did she not?" he added. "Well I found out from her check-up. Nothing you need to know." Bulma explained. "Is Lei-Fang sick? Is it something fatal?" asked Gohan thinking the worst. "No Gohan that's not it. Just something about her heritage is more like it." Bulma replied.
