Maiden of Destiny Chapter 4
Lei-Fang wondered in some cave. It was dark, dirty, scary, and lonely. She knew it was childish, but she felt like huddling in a corner to cry hoping Trunks or someone would hear her. Come make her feel better. Say it was okay to holding her tightly like protecting her from nightmares. Right now she desperately wanted to be back home like she was this morning. Tears still stained her face. Finally after wondering around and becoming lost she sat down. She put her knees to her chest and bared her face in them. She began to let out the sound of crying now. "I'll never get out of here, I'm all alone scared afraid. No one here to help me. Trunks probably hates me and I just want to be human. But I can't do anything I'm just an android. I'll never be real or have a true family. I just want to die. Not like it would matter." She whispered bitterly. For a second she thought she heard Trunks calling her name. But she decided it wasn't him. Her tears became more. "He.he hates me." She said crying even harder. Suddenly a faint glow caught her eye. "Who, who's there?" she said whipping away a tear. She started to get up and go to it. When she arrived there on a stone stood a golden ball with four little black dragons in the middle. "Four ball." She whispered. It flew and surrounded her. It felt warm and calmed her sorrow. Then she heard a faint voice say, "What doest thou want?" "Wha.what?" she said breathing harder. "What doest thou want?" it repeated. Then it suddenly flew away. "Wait! Don't leave me alone! Come back!" She pleaded. Suddenly she felt full of sorrow once again. Just then a shadowy figure appeared behind her. Le-Fang sensed she wasn't alone and felt fear come over her. She turned to see Nolan. She let out a scream.
Trunks looked around and found he was in a cavern. Someone's muddy footprints led there. He figured it was Lei-Fang. He thought he heard some crying and then talking. "Must be just me." He reassured himself. Then a scream pierced his ears. "Lei-Fang!" he said braking into a very fast run. He seemed to be going faster than the wind. (Well he is Saiyan.)
Lei-Fang tried to get away, but hand covered her mouth. "Please be a good girl and don't try anything.foolish." He said. His tone made Lei-Fang even more scared. Lei-Fang let the tears run down her soft cheeks once again. Suddenly she felt something cold on her cheeks. It was his lips! She wanted to scream and more than ever kick him! "Now where are the celestial dragon balls located?" he said in a way that said she had better tell. "I don't know what you're talking about. Why do you want to know and what are they?" she asked. "They are a special and powerful type of dragon ball that grants four wishes. I'm only doing it to help people. But I figured you'd react like this." Nolan said. "What do you mean?" she asked. "You and I are the same. I'm also an android that's why you and I have to stick together. Because we are the only two people that can understand each other. Being shunned by humans." he said. He drew his lips closer to hers. "No I don't want this! Any of this! I just want to be human to be normal." she said crying again. His lips touched hers and she felt scared and wanted to scream. She tried to squirm free, but she was just too defenseless. Her tears began to grow in numbers again. He continued to kiss her, while she cried. Nolan felt something connect with his face pulling away from Lei- Fang. It was.Trunks! (A.N.- Bet you could see that coming.) Trunks stood there while anger consumed his eyes. "Tru-Trunks." Lei-Fang whispered. "What's this? A human? Protecting an android. Why?" Nolan asked in a mocking and disgusted way. "Your kind doesn't belong with hers. So why are you bothering?" Nolan added. "She's a lot more human than you'll ever be." Trunks retorted. "You alright Lei-Fang?" Trunks asked turning his attention to her. She nodded. When he turned once again, Nolan was gone. Lei-Fang started shake. She wanted to cry, but not in front of Trunks. She didn't like to appear.weak to him. Trunks went over to Lei-Fang. He brushed away a bang to see the tears that dared to come out. Lei-Fang was trying to hold them back, but she would have to give in sooner or later. Her lips began to quiver. "Lei-Fang?" Trunks whispered softly. Lei-Fang suddenly burst into tears burring her face into her hands and Trunks pulled her close to him letting her tears soak his shirt. Trunks eyes softened. Guess she was more human than he gave her credit for. He pulled her into a hug. His hand constantly rubbed her cheek up and down.
Bulma was worried again. "They've been gone for so many hours they should have been back by now." Bulma said. "Don't worry I'm sure Lei-Fang and Trunks are just having some fun." Krillin said smirking. Just then Trunks came in with Lei-Fang behind him. "Sorry were late, but it began to storm." Trunks explained. "It's okay. We knew you were just spending quality time with your girlfriend." Krillin teased. Trunks started to wave his hands nervously and blushed. "We're just friends. Come on Krillin." Trunks exclaimed. "I'm going upstairs." Lei-Fang announced softly and did so. When she arrived at her room she closed the door and locked it. Then from her backpack she took out a small golden ball and put it in her top drawer in her dresser. Lei-Fang smiled and blushed. "Trunks." She whispered. Maybe he wasn't so cold and mean after all.
Meanwhile in Heaven. "Goku you need to stop training for once and come rest." King Kai pleaded. "But I'm training for the next tournament. It's being held by the Grand Kai again." Goku said putting on some weights. "Goku, if you want to practice they need you to go down to the loser section of hell and stop Dr. Gero. He is causing trouble again." King Kai said annoyed. "Really. I'll get Piacon to help." Goku said. After Goku got Paicon (I think that's how you spell his name) they headed to where Dr. Gero was. "Mwhahahaha! Come on aren't we having fun?" he said blowing up stuff (so like him). "Just wait till number 12, 11, and 10 run a muck all over earth!" he said evilly. "More androids!" said Goku when he approached. "Darn it! Doesn't anybody decide to stay dead around here?" Goku said annoyed. "Apparently not." Paicon replied.
Tien laid down on his bed softly (Hey someone is actually writing a story with more Tien interaction! Where's the choir?). He began to breathe softly. .Tien slammed his fist angrily into some barrels of water, which sprayed all over him. He just sat there panting. Why did Master Roshi give up the match! Why?! How dare he show mercy to him! Was Roshi really just afraid?! No! Tien knew better than that! "Tien?" a voice asked softly. He turned and saw his friend Saura standing there. She had been a childhood friend with him and Choatzu. He had been wondering where she had been. She kept making excuses not to go to dinner with them and he didn't see her standing in the crowd with Master Tsurusennin. She had long black hair in pigtails. She wore a white tank top with a turquoise mini skirt and tennis shoes. His face did not change as he looked into her soft brown eyes. However, inside he felt calm and tranquil suddenly. But as it always had been he reacted by treating her, the way he always did. "What do you want?" he asked coldly starting to feel embarrassed for her following and interrupting him. She smiled sadly. Another thing about her. When they were children, she smiled so happily but as she matured, she became more grave and all her smiles seemed sad and lonely. It made his heart go out to her. "You're upset." She stated. "Is there a reason you followed me?" he asked harshly. "Tien calm down. I know you're confused and frustrated right now. But forget what Master Roshi said." She said. Tien looked away frustrated and silence took over. "He's right though you know. Maybe that's what angers you. Are you living a lie Tien?" she asked. "I don't have to put up with this!" Tien yelled. "No, no you don't, do you?" Saura said. "Tien, just calm down. Focus right now on your match with Goku. Then after the tournament we'll worry about Roshi." She said walking over to him and sitting down next to him. Tien by some cosmic force sat down beside her. She reached up her head and pulled Tien's head onto her shoulder. He felt stunned but slowly relaxed. For a while, they stayed like that listening to the soft sounds of nature around them. "Just remember. If you do win the tournament. I know it will make Master proud and happy. Choatzu and me will also be happy for you. I am proud of Tien. I have faith you; I always have had faith in you. But what will this victory mean for YOU?" she asked. Tien was caught off guard. "Will this make you happy, perfect, or confuse and anger you even more? Does this summarize all your skills, Tien?!" she persisted questioning. Tien pushed her away. "I-I don't know!.Yet" he whispered. "Oh Tien." he heard Saura say sobbing. He looked up in shock. "Why.. are you.. crying?" he asked. "Because. It's all my fault. Every time I try to help you, to reach you I end up pushing you further away and making things worse. I just can't do it! I try, I really do! But you're out of my reach. All I can do is watch you do this to yourself!" she cried. Tien hugged her. "Stop talking such nonsense, Saura." He said. "Sometimes I feel so weak and fragile. And when I feel this way, I sense your unmerciful eyes upon me. I feel ashamed and desperate. I feel sometimes like I can't measure up to what you want me to be or maybe I am just wasting my time. Because you never want me around you." She whispered. She removed herself from his arms and looked at him sternly. "And I have to know! DO you feel this way? Am I in the way? Am I a failure?" she asked in dread. Tien was left speechless. He didn't know what to say. He turned his eyes to the floor and stood silent. He did not know what to say! How could she ever ask him that?! He treated her the way he did for who knows what reason! But it never meant that he didn't want her around! A shadow fell over Saura's eyes. "I see." she whispered. Tien tried to say something but Saura put her finger on his mouth and smiled at him sadly through her tears. Slowly she got up and left leaving Tien stunned and speechless. He stood like that for probably no more than a minute and then he heard someone. He looked over and saw Master Roshi packing a suitcase of all his "Jackie-Chun" stuff.
"Alright everybody hurry up or we'll never make it to the beach before the crowd." Bulma yelled. Gohan, Chichi, Vegeta, Bulma, Trunks, Lei-Fang, Krillin, Piccolo, Roshi, Yamcha, Oolong, Puar, Tien, and Choatzu were all going to the beach today. Lei-Fang wore a light purple bikini. Bulma got it for her. "I think it's too immodest." Lei-Fang complained getting the towel to cover her. "I don't." Roshi said smiling. Lei-Fang gasped. She didn't like her body being used as a joke, but she didn't yell at everybody like Bulma for something like that. "Roshi that's enough!" Bulma and Chichi yelled. "She is a full grown woman and deserves respect. If you touch one hair on her we'll." Bulma began. "Rinse you and wring you out like a rag." Chichi finished. "Trunks I don't want to go in this. I don't want guys to look at me and whistle." Lei-Fang said turning to him. Trunks immediately was snapped out of some kind of daze and blushed (I wonder what he was all dreamy about *whistles innocently*). "You don't look that bad. They'd probably look at you with a swimsuit on anyways." Trunks blushed at what he just said because he came out sounding as if he was hitting on her. "You think it's okay? Well I guess so. Do you really think I look pretty?" Lei- Fang asked. Trunks blushed, "Well, uh." he stuttered but couldn't finish. Krillin started to elbow Trunks, which made Trunks blush even more. "The sweet and sensitive guys always get the girls. Goodie-goodie." Oolong said.
The van stopped in a parking lot. Everybody hoped out. Lei-Fang still tightened the towel around her. "It'll be okay." Trunks reassured her. The sand was white and amazing. Everyone put down his or her towels and chairs then headed to the water. Vegeta stayed with Bulma and Chichi. Sakura also came along. She was wearing a navy top to her bikini and a blue and white- stripped bottom. Lei-Fang stayed in the water. "Come on let's go make a sand castle." Sakura said tugging on Lei-Fang's arm. "No! I don't want a guy to see me. Go away! Stop!" Lei-Fang argued. Trunks smirked. "You'll have to go out sooner or later." He said. "But I can delay." Lei-Fang retorted. "Roshi will find you too." Sakura told her. Lei-Fang gasped. "He is probably worse than the guys on the beach. Plus he can hide in the water." Sakura whispered evilly and Lei-Fang ran out. Sakura laughed and then got out. Trunks had to listen to annoyed whistles being blown by guys on the beach. Lei-Fang hated it more than him. She couldn't help but feel she had to turn to him to watch and protect her, even though she was an android. But she didn't know how to fight. In a while Lei-Fang got used to it. So used to it she wanted to stay on the beach sand. It was nice, warm, soft, and you could do many things.
Trunks was swimming with Krillin and Gohan in the water. "I hope a bunch of girls don't start annoying us." Said Gohan. "Don't worry your too young. I can stand it and Trunks no one will want, trust me." Krillin said laughing. "Why is that?" Trunks said with no offense. "Oh nothing, they'll just think you're a girl or something." Krillin said then burst into laughter. Yamcha was listening. "Krillin you promised you wouldn't say anything!" Yamcha scolded. "I couldn't help it." Krillin said he was laughing so hard he was crying. "What's so funny you guys?" Gohan asked. "Ya really. What IS so funny?" Trunks asked. "When.when we went shopping," Krillin said trying to regain composure. "Lei-Fang asked Bulma if Trunks was a girl or a boy, because of his long hair!" Krillin said bursting back to laughter. Trunks blushed and touched his hair bringing it to his eyes to look at. "I guess it is kind of long." Gohan said Trunks started blushing with embarrassment. This only made Krillin wet his pants.
"We have trouble." Said Yamcha as he approached Lei-Fang and Sakura. "What?" Sakura asked. "Krillin told Trunks of how Lei-Fang thought Trunks was girl when they first met." Yamcha explained. Sakura burst into laughter. "You actually thought that!" Sakura laughed. Yamcha left the two. "Bulma told me he was male don't worry. It wasn't in front of him. I was confused. Please don't say anything." Lei-Fang pleaded. Sakura regained composure. "I won't but it sounds to me like Trunks already knows!" Sakura laughed even harder. Then three boys approached them. "Hey there haven't I seen you somewhere before?" one said to Sakura. Sakura smiled. "It's good to be young." Sakura whispered. Lei-Fang didn't know what to do. She knew what was happening, but they WERE strangers. She had decided a while ago that she would befriend and get to know a person. Then if she felt something she would know. But she would like to know how he felt in return. "How about you wanna have some fun?" the guys said to Lei-Fang. Lei-Fang blushed. "Well you see actually um." Lei-Fang stuttered playing with her hands. One grabbed her hand. "Come on." He said winking. Lei-Fang wanted to say no, if she had the courage. She felt guilty if she said no. "Hey Lei- Fang!" said a familiar voice. It was Trunks. "Who is he?" one asked. He walked up to them and gave the boys a glare. "He is uh.he's my brother." Lei-Fang said running to Trunks. The boys decided to leave. "Nice going Trunks." Sakura scolded hitting him on the back of the head with her book. "I need a snow cone." Sakura said frustrated and went off. "Want to go back in the water?" Trunks asked. "But it's too cold and I like it here. I wanna stay here the whole time." Lei- Fang said sitting down again. She breathed in a heave of air and felt the sun. Trunks smiled, "The whole time? That's awfully long." Trunks said. "You have to go back in sooner or later. That's why we're here to enjoy the water. That's why it's called a beach. Otherwise you may as well go to a desert." Trunks said smirking. "Maybe later." Lei-Fang said sighing and dozing off lying in the sand. Then she felt herself being picked up into the air. Next thing she knew she was hanging over Trunk's shoulder. "I don't want to go in!" she said kicking.
Trunks dumped Lei-Fang into the water. Lei-Fang shot up from the water shivering. "It's cold." She stated. "Ya but ain't it nice?" Trunks asked swimming on his back tauntingly past her. "You! Your gonna get it!" Lei- Fang yelled to Trunks. "Want are you going to do about it Thumbalina?" Trunks teased swimming in a circle around her. "I'll.I'll go get Krillin or Yamcha to beat you up." Lei-Fang said swimming toward that direction. "Why not you?" Trunks asked swimming by her and she felt uncomfortable as he was very strong and she probably wouldn't have enough time to yell for help from one of the guys. "I'm not capable of defeating you and it's not my style. I'm sweet I don't get even." Lei-Fang said. Trunks arm went around her stomach stopping her. "Let go!" Lei-Fang yelled. "What makes you think they can beat me up? You have to have a man do your job?" Trunks teased more. Lei-Fang stilled squirmed. "Your mean." She stated. "Hold your breath." Trunks warned. He took a breath and went underwater pulling her with him. Then he let go. Lei-Fang swam to the top. She started to heave big breathes of air. Trunks surfaced. "What's the matter?" Trunks asked. "Earlier you were talking about how much you loved the ocean." Trunks said. "I do." Lei-Fang said seriously. "You noticed how you and I are born and grow up. We change. But the water was always the same. The life in it changed yes, but the water never did. Ever since the beginning of time it just rolls in and out of the shore daily. At night it moves to lullaby of the moon and sparkles under the star's reflections. It has seen many sunsets and sunrises to know the beauty of nature and itself." Lei-Fang said admiring the sun on the ocean. "It has probably been through many things, seen many things, heard many things, and survived many things." She added. It seemed to sparkle as she said those words. Trunks blushed lightly. "Ya I guess your right." He said. "But why am I telling you this boring poetic stuff. You probably don't want to hear it." She apologized. "No I don't mind it. Really I don't." he said.
Everybody was out of the water and in the sun. Roshi and Oolong were looking at Lei-Fang, Sakura, and a couple other girls in swimsuits and Bikinis play volleyball. "You guys should be ashamed. How would Lei- Fang feel if she knew you were looking at her?" Krillin scolded. "You guys should look up to Trunks. He's a nice decent and respectable young man." Krillin complemented. Trunks blushed. "Ha! He was looking too! I saw him!" Roshi said pointing to Trunks. Trunks blushed deeper. "I was watching the scenery." Trunks explained. "What scenery is that huh?" Krillin asked teasing. Trunks blushed even deeper. "It's not like that." He said waving his hands nervously. "Face it kid they got you." Oolong said still not turning to Trunks with sunglasses on. "I wasn't looking." Trunks said. "Liar." Krillin said. "Your eyes twitch when you lie." Krillin said. Trunks blushed a deeper red if possible.
Lei-Fang hit the ball. "Hey what do you say we invite some of the guys?" Sakura suggested. "Sure we'll go get some of our friends and you get some of yours." One girl said. They each parted. "Who should we get?" Lei-Fang asked. "Definitely not Roshi or Oolong. Krillin can. Yamcha is good. Vegeta and Piccolo would never. Trunks is good too. Gohan is good if Chichi will let him. Tien I don't think would want to." Sakura said. "Okay." Lei-Fang agreed. "I'll get Gohan. You get Trunks and Krillin." Sakura ordered. Lei- Fang nodded.
Trunks and Krillin were still sitting in their beach chairs when Lei-Fang came up. "How would you and Krillin like it if you wanted to go and play volley ball with us?" Lei-Fang asked smiling. "I'll go!" Roshi and Oolong said. "Sakura doesn't think we should." Lei-Fang said trying not to hurt their feelings. "And for good reason too." Krillin said. "Well?" Lei-Fang repeated. "I'll go." Said Krillin. "I think I'll stay-" Trunks stopped when he saw the other girls bring up those flirting guys from earlier as well as some others probably like them. "Fine I'll go too." Lei-Fang put out her hand. He stared at it and then at her. She was smiling brightly. Trunks said yes and got up. They went over and played. But the other guy's eyes never seemed to leave any of the girls. Each guy yes at least one girl. They liked eying Lei-Fang. Trunks was hoping they weren't like Roshi or Oolong. If they were he didn't like what they were thinking. He knew Lei- Fang wouldn't either. The other girls too probably. When the game was over they were heading off to leave the beach when the guys came up to Sakura, Lei-Fang, and Trunks. "Would you girls like to come over to our house right now. We'll drive you." One offered. "Which of those girls will be there?" Sakura asked. "None of them just you two." The guy said. "Lei-Fang is coming home with me." Trunks said taking her by the hand and leaving. He knew what they had on their minds and even though he never acted like that to a stranger he wasn't going to act sweet so Lei-Fang could be hurt. "I think I'll pass too." Sakura said and left. "Brothers are so protective." Said the guy and they left.
When they arrived home, everybody went their own way. Lei-Fang went in the bathroom last and took a bath. She wanted to be nice so she let Bulma go first. Which wasn't easy since Vegeta and Bulma argued about it. Vegeta ended up going second. Then Trunks. Last went Lei-Fang. She sat there soaking in the water rubbing it on her arms. She thought about the day and thought it was fun. Bulma planned for them to go on a picnic in two weeks. She couldn't wait. Those guys at the beach though made her feel on the edge. She sighed. Trunks protected her three times from them though. She liked it when she was around him. She felt safe, warm, and happy. He may not at first, but now was making her feel as though she could forget she was android just while being around him. He treated her nicely and made her feel human. If only she was. Lei-Fang's eyes saddened at the fact. "It just seems so unfair." She said her eyes filling with tears but before they dared to come out, she heard a knock. "Yo, slave woman. Time for dinner." Vegeta's voice said. "She ahs a name!" came Bulma's distant voice. Lei-Fang smiled. "Okay!" she yelled. Even though Vegeta treated her coldly she knew he thought she wasn't half bad. She had somewhat grown on him. She was just like the little sister he never had, well almost. Vegeta felt he had to protect her and look after her. Right now was a small war between him and Bulma if she should fight or not. Vegeta said she needed to be trained. He knew she was an android. He find it out after constantly persisting with Bulma. "She's an android! It's in her blood to fight!" Vegeta would yell. "Are you sure she has blood?" Bulma would yell back. Not that Bulma meant did it on purpose but saying that she didn't have any blood hurt Lei-Fang.
Much like Trunks Lei-Fang found out in no time that it wasn't pride that made Vegeta act all tough and superior. It was honor. The honor he owed to his father King Vegeta of the Saiyans. He was a cold ruthless warrior. 'His father's death must have been horrible.' Lei-Fang thought. She knew he didn't want her pity though. It seemed that it was important he be the strongest since he was Prince. But the fact that Goku, an ordinary Saiyan who was born with the power level of two, would have so much strength and power. it taunted Vegeta that the fact was that Goku died before Vegeta could beat him. It seemed to haunt his dreams every night. Lei-Fang would wake up sometimes and hear his cries and his father's name so many times. "Yo servant woman! I said dinner time!" Vegeta's voice yelled from downstairs. "Coming!" Lei-Fang yelled.
"I can't see why we can't just go ahead and eat without her?" Vegeta said annoyed. "Vegeta don't even start!" Bulma warned angrily. Trunks was praying. "Sorry, but I just got out of the tub. You guys can start without me." Lei-Fang said as she stood with a white towel wrapped around her body from the stairway. Trunks seemed kind of dazed for a moment but snapped out of it (again). "Okay." Bulma said. "Told ya." Vegeta mumbled scoffing down his food. Lei-Fang headed off and dressed.
Gohan was playing in a forest by his house. He was playing with a little squirrel. He was laughing as he chased it (hey he does this on the show1 He's practically Snow White!). Then the squirrel stopped and put up its head alarmed. "What is it?" Gohan asked worried. It made a sound and went into a cave nearby. Gohan followed it. Gohan wondered in amazement as the rocks sparkled. "Hey so your Gohan, son of Goku?" he heard an unfamiliar voice say. He nodded. "Who are you?" he asked. The girl had black hair with pigtails. Her eyes were blue and filled with amusement. She smirked. "I'm Meiran." Said the girl. She appeared to be Lei-Fang's age. "But you can call me android number 11." She finished. Gohan looked shocked. For a moment his eyes went scared with fear. "What's the matter? You don't look hardly scared enough. How will I have fun my little doll?" She said smiling. Gohan didn't feel easy. "Well since Goku's dead I'll guess I'll just have to eliminate his son. It's what I am programmed to do." Meiran said grinning. Gohan went Super Saiyan and took a fighting stance. Meiran charged and Gohan blocked her punch with his arm. He blocked again and again. She let out fighting cries as she continued to throw punches. But Gohan continued to block. She decided to end the little game and her foot suddenly flew up kicking him in the stomach. Gohan was sent flying against a wall. A little blood came from his mouth, but Gohan whipped it away with his arm. He took his fighting stance again. Meiran suddenly flashed a beam at him. Dust filled the area so it was hard to see. Out of nowhere Gohan came and punched Meiran in the face sending her to the ground. But as she fell her foot kicked up to his chin. Then she kicked his legs off the ground and he fell hard to the ground. They both panted for a second then got back up. Gohan and Meiran charged and punched each other at the same time. Both flew in opposite directions and then stopped suddenly in mid air. Gohan spread apart his leg and formed his hands for his Kamehameha attack. A small white light of energy went into his hands. "Kaaaaaameeeehaaameehaaaa!" Gohan yelled releasing the huge energy wave. Meiran crossed her arms as though she were confident. The energy flew towards her. She was smiling then her smile faded as it got closer, "What's this." She said in shock. He heard her scream. The light seemed to last a while and then it cleared. There stood Meiran breathing heavily standing up with her arms crossed. The ground was dug into a small ditch showing the track that the beam had pushed her. Her clothes were torn and dirty. Sweat seeped down Gohan's face. She went back to just a standing pose. She brushed away a strand of hair from her face a smirked. "That was good." She said. Then she teleported behind Gohan quickly. "But not good enough!" she yelled as she clasped her hands together tightly and hit Gohan on the back of the head. He went flying into the ground. She pulled out a dagger and was about to stab him when something caught her hand very fast. She looked over and there stood Goku with a halo. "Your Goku, am I right?" she asked. He nodded. "Then I'll guess we'll just have to finish this later." She said and flew up into the air. "Oh no you don't." Goku said he flew up towards her but stopped when she put her hands to each side of her face. "Solar Flare!" she yelled. Then came a bright light. Goku and Gohan covered their eyes. When the light was gone, so was Meiran.
Lei-Fang wondered in some cave. It was dark, dirty, scary, and lonely. She knew it was childish, but she felt like huddling in a corner to cry hoping Trunks or someone would hear her. Come make her feel better. Say it was okay to holding her tightly like protecting her from nightmares. Right now she desperately wanted to be back home like she was this morning. Tears still stained her face. Finally after wondering around and becoming lost she sat down. She put her knees to her chest and bared her face in them. She began to let out the sound of crying now. "I'll never get out of here, I'm all alone scared afraid. No one here to help me. Trunks probably hates me and I just want to be human. But I can't do anything I'm just an android. I'll never be real or have a true family. I just want to die. Not like it would matter." She whispered bitterly. For a second she thought she heard Trunks calling her name. But she decided it wasn't him. Her tears became more. "He.he hates me." She said crying even harder. Suddenly a faint glow caught her eye. "Who, who's there?" she said whipping away a tear. She started to get up and go to it. When she arrived there on a stone stood a golden ball with four little black dragons in the middle. "Four ball." She whispered. It flew and surrounded her. It felt warm and calmed her sorrow. Then she heard a faint voice say, "What doest thou want?" "Wha.what?" she said breathing harder. "What doest thou want?" it repeated. Then it suddenly flew away. "Wait! Don't leave me alone! Come back!" She pleaded. Suddenly she felt full of sorrow once again. Just then a shadowy figure appeared behind her. Le-Fang sensed she wasn't alone and felt fear come over her. She turned to see Nolan. She let out a scream.
Trunks looked around and found he was in a cavern. Someone's muddy footprints led there. He figured it was Lei-Fang. He thought he heard some crying and then talking. "Must be just me." He reassured himself. Then a scream pierced his ears. "Lei-Fang!" he said braking into a very fast run. He seemed to be going faster than the wind. (Well he is Saiyan.)
Lei-Fang tried to get away, but hand covered her mouth. "Please be a good girl and don't try anything.foolish." He said. His tone made Lei-Fang even more scared. Lei-Fang let the tears run down her soft cheeks once again. Suddenly she felt something cold on her cheeks. It was his lips! She wanted to scream and more than ever kick him! "Now where are the celestial dragon balls located?" he said in a way that said she had better tell. "I don't know what you're talking about. Why do you want to know and what are they?" she asked. "They are a special and powerful type of dragon ball that grants four wishes. I'm only doing it to help people. But I figured you'd react like this." Nolan said. "What do you mean?" she asked. "You and I are the same. I'm also an android that's why you and I have to stick together. Because we are the only two people that can understand each other. Being shunned by humans." he said. He drew his lips closer to hers. "No I don't want this! Any of this! I just want to be human to be normal." she said crying again. His lips touched hers and she felt scared and wanted to scream. She tried to squirm free, but she was just too defenseless. Her tears began to grow in numbers again. He continued to kiss her, while she cried. Nolan felt something connect with his face pulling away from Lei- Fang. It was.Trunks! (A.N.- Bet you could see that coming.) Trunks stood there while anger consumed his eyes. "Tru-Trunks." Lei-Fang whispered. "What's this? A human? Protecting an android. Why?" Nolan asked in a mocking and disgusted way. "Your kind doesn't belong with hers. So why are you bothering?" Nolan added. "She's a lot more human than you'll ever be." Trunks retorted. "You alright Lei-Fang?" Trunks asked turning his attention to her. She nodded. When he turned once again, Nolan was gone. Lei-Fang started shake. She wanted to cry, but not in front of Trunks. She didn't like to appear.weak to him. Trunks went over to Lei-Fang. He brushed away a bang to see the tears that dared to come out. Lei-Fang was trying to hold them back, but she would have to give in sooner or later. Her lips began to quiver. "Lei-Fang?" Trunks whispered softly. Lei-Fang suddenly burst into tears burring her face into her hands and Trunks pulled her close to him letting her tears soak his shirt. Trunks eyes softened. Guess she was more human than he gave her credit for. He pulled her into a hug. His hand constantly rubbed her cheek up and down.
Bulma was worried again. "They've been gone for so many hours they should have been back by now." Bulma said. "Don't worry I'm sure Lei-Fang and Trunks are just having some fun." Krillin said smirking. Just then Trunks came in with Lei-Fang behind him. "Sorry were late, but it began to storm." Trunks explained. "It's okay. We knew you were just spending quality time with your girlfriend." Krillin teased. Trunks started to wave his hands nervously and blushed. "We're just friends. Come on Krillin." Trunks exclaimed. "I'm going upstairs." Lei-Fang announced softly and did so. When she arrived at her room she closed the door and locked it. Then from her backpack she took out a small golden ball and put it in her top drawer in her dresser. Lei-Fang smiled and blushed. "Trunks." She whispered. Maybe he wasn't so cold and mean after all.
Meanwhile in Heaven. "Goku you need to stop training for once and come rest." King Kai pleaded. "But I'm training for the next tournament. It's being held by the Grand Kai again." Goku said putting on some weights. "Goku, if you want to practice they need you to go down to the loser section of hell and stop Dr. Gero. He is causing trouble again." King Kai said annoyed. "Really. I'll get Piacon to help." Goku said. After Goku got Paicon (I think that's how you spell his name) they headed to where Dr. Gero was. "Mwhahahaha! Come on aren't we having fun?" he said blowing up stuff (so like him). "Just wait till number 12, 11, and 10 run a muck all over earth!" he said evilly. "More androids!" said Goku when he approached. "Darn it! Doesn't anybody decide to stay dead around here?" Goku said annoyed. "Apparently not." Paicon replied.
Tien laid down on his bed softly (Hey someone is actually writing a story with more Tien interaction! Where's the choir?). He began to breathe softly. .Tien slammed his fist angrily into some barrels of water, which sprayed all over him. He just sat there panting. Why did Master Roshi give up the match! Why?! How dare he show mercy to him! Was Roshi really just afraid?! No! Tien knew better than that! "Tien?" a voice asked softly. He turned and saw his friend Saura standing there. She had been a childhood friend with him and Choatzu. He had been wondering where she had been. She kept making excuses not to go to dinner with them and he didn't see her standing in the crowd with Master Tsurusennin. She had long black hair in pigtails. She wore a white tank top with a turquoise mini skirt and tennis shoes. His face did not change as he looked into her soft brown eyes. However, inside he felt calm and tranquil suddenly. But as it always had been he reacted by treating her, the way he always did. "What do you want?" he asked coldly starting to feel embarrassed for her following and interrupting him. She smiled sadly. Another thing about her. When they were children, she smiled so happily but as she matured, she became more grave and all her smiles seemed sad and lonely. It made his heart go out to her. "You're upset." She stated. "Is there a reason you followed me?" he asked harshly. "Tien calm down. I know you're confused and frustrated right now. But forget what Master Roshi said." She said. Tien looked away frustrated and silence took over. "He's right though you know. Maybe that's what angers you. Are you living a lie Tien?" she asked. "I don't have to put up with this!" Tien yelled. "No, no you don't, do you?" Saura said. "Tien, just calm down. Focus right now on your match with Goku. Then after the tournament we'll worry about Roshi." She said walking over to him and sitting down next to him. Tien by some cosmic force sat down beside her. She reached up her head and pulled Tien's head onto her shoulder. He felt stunned but slowly relaxed. For a while, they stayed like that listening to the soft sounds of nature around them. "Just remember. If you do win the tournament. I know it will make Master proud and happy. Choatzu and me will also be happy for you. I am proud of Tien. I have faith you; I always have had faith in you. But what will this victory mean for YOU?" she asked. Tien was caught off guard. "Will this make you happy, perfect, or confuse and anger you even more? Does this summarize all your skills, Tien?!" she persisted questioning. Tien pushed her away. "I-I don't know!.Yet" he whispered. "Oh Tien." he heard Saura say sobbing. He looked up in shock. "Why.. are you.. crying?" he asked. "Because. It's all my fault. Every time I try to help you, to reach you I end up pushing you further away and making things worse. I just can't do it! I try, I really do! But you're out of my reach. All I can do is watch you do this to yourself!" she cried. Tien hugged her. "Stop talking such nonsense, Saura." He said. "Sometimes I feel so weak and fragile. And when I feel this way, I sense your unmerciful eyes upon me. I feel ashamed and desperate. I feel sometimes like I can't measure up to what you want me to be or maybe I am just wasting my time. Because you never want me around you." She whispered. She removed herself from his arms and looked at him sternly. "And I have to know! DO you feel this way? Am I in the way? Am I a failure?" she asked in dread. Tien was left speechless. He didn't know what to say. He turned his eyes to the floor and stood silent. He did not know what to say! How could she ever ask him that?! He treated her the way he did for who knows what reason! But it never meant that he didn't want her around! A shadow fell over Saura's eyes. "I see." she whispered. Tien tried to say something but Saura put her finger on his mouth and smiled at him sadly through her tears. Slowly she got up and left leaving Tien stunned and speechless. He stood like that for probably no more than a minute and then he heard someone. He looked over and saw Master Roshi packing a suitcase of all his "Jackie-Chun" stuff.
"Alright everybody hurry up or we'll never make it to the beach before the crowd." Bulma yelled. Gohan, Chichi, Vegeta, Bulma, Trunks, Lei-Fang, Krillin, Piccolo, Roshi, Yamcha, Oolong, Puar, Tien, and Choatzu were all going to the beach today. Lei-Fang wore a light purple bikini. Bulma got it for her. "I think it's too immodest." Lei-Fang complained getting the towel to cover her. "I don't." Roshi said smiling. Lei-Fang gasped. She didn't like her body being used as a joke, but she didn't yell at everybody like Bulma for something like that. "Roshi that's enough!" Bulma and Chichi yelled. "She is a full grown woman and deserves respect. If you touch one hair on her we'll." Bulma began. "Rinse you and wring you out like a rag." Chichi finished. "Trunks I don't want to go in this. I don't want guys to look at me and whistle." Lei-Fang said turning to him. Trunks immediately was snapped out of some kind of daze and blushed (I wonder what he was all dreamy about *whistles innocently*). "You don't look that bad. They'd probably look at you with a swimsuit on anyways." Trunks blushed at what he just said because he came out sounding as if he was hitting on her. "You think it's okay? Well I guess so. Do you really think I look pretty?" Lei- Fang asked. Trunks blushed, "Well, uh." he stuttered but couldn't finish. Krillin started to elbow Trunks, which made Trunks blush even more. "The sweet and sensitive guys always get the girls. Goodie-goodie." Oolong said.
The van stopped in a parking lot. Everybody hoped out. Lei-Fang still tightened the towel around her. "It'll be okay." Trunks reassured her. The sand was white and amazing. Everyone put down his or her towels and chairs then headed to the water. Vegeta stayed with Bulma and Chichi. Sakura also came along. She was wearing a navy top to her bikini and a blue and white- stripped bottom. Lei-Fang stayed in the water. "Come on let's go make a sand castle." Sakura said tugging on Lei-Fang's arm. "No! I don't want a guy to see me. Go away! Stop!" Lei-Fang argued. Trunks smirked. "You'll have to go out sooner or later." He said. "But I can delay." Lei-Fang retorted. "Roshi will find you too." Sakura told her. Lei-Fang gasped. "He is probably worse than the guys on the beach. Plus he can hide in the water." Sakura whispered evilly and Lei-Fang ran out. Sakura laughed and then got out. Trunks had to listen to annoyed whistles being blown by guys on the beach. Lei-Fang hated it more than him. She couldn't help but feel she had to turn to him to watch and protect her, even though she was an android. But she didn't know how to fight. In a while Lei-Fang got used to it. So used to it she wanted to stay on the beach sand. It was nice, warm, soft, and you could do many things.
Trunks was swimming with Krillin and Gohan in the water. "I hope a bunch of girls don't start annoying us." Said Gohan. "Don't worry your too young. I can stand it and Trunks no one will want, trust me." Krillin said laughing. "Why is that?" Trunks said with no offense. "Oh nothing, they'll just think you're a girl or something." Krillin said then burst into laughter. Yamcha was listening. "Krillin you promised you wouldn't say anything!" Yamcha scolded. "I couldn't help it." Krillin said he was laughing so hard he was crying. "What's so funny you guys?" Gohan asked. "Ya really. What IS so funny?" Trunks asked. "When.when we went shopping," Krillin said trying to regain composure. "Lei-Fang asked Bulma if Trunks was a girl or a boy, because of his long hair!" Krillin said bursting back to laughter. Trunks blushed and touched his hair bringing it to his eyes to look at. "I guess it is kind of long." Gohan said Trunks started blushing with embarrassment. This only made Krillin wet his pants.
"We have trouble." Said Yamcha as he approached Lei-Fang and Sakura. "What?" Sakura asked. "Krillin told Trunks of how Lei-Fang thought Trunks was girl when they first met." Yamcha explained. Sakura burst into laughter. "You actually thought that!" Sakura laughed. Yamcha left the two. "Bulma told me he was male don't worry. It wasn't in front of him. I was confused. Please don't say anything." Lei-Fang pleaded. Sakura regained composure. "I won't but it sounds to me like Trunks already knows!" Sakura laughed even harder. Then three boys approached them. "Hey there haven't I seen you somewhere before?" one said to Sakura. Sakura smiled. "It's good to be young." Sakura whispered. Lei-Fang didn't know what to do. She knew what was happening, but they WERE strangers. She had decided a while ago that she would befriend and get to know a person. Then if she felt something she would know. But she would like to know how he felt in return. "How about you wanna have some fun?" the guys said to Lei-Fang. Lei-Fang blushed. "Well you see actually um." Lei-Fang stuttered playing with her hands. One grabbed her hand. "Come on." He said winking. Lei-Fang wanted to say no, if she had the courage. She felt guilty if she said no. "Hey Lei- Fang!" said a familiar voice. It was Trunks. "Who is he?" one asked. He walked up to them and gave the boys a glare. "He is uh.he's my brother." Lei-Fang said running to Trunks. The boys decided to leave. "Nice going Trunks." Sakura scolded hitting him on the back of the head with her book. "I need a snow cone." Sakura said frustrated and went off. "Want to go back in the water?" Trunks asked. "But it's too cold and I like it here. I wanna stay here the whole time." Lei- Fang said sitting down again. She breathed in a heave of air and felt the sun. Trunks smiled, "The whole time? That's awfully long." Trunks said. "You have to go back in sooner or later. That's why we're here to enjoy the water. That's why it's called a beach. Otherwise you may as well go to a desert." Trunks said smirking. "Maybe later." Lei-Fang said sighing and dozing off lying in the sand. Then she felt herself being picked up into the air. Next thing she knew she was hanging over Trunk's shoulder. "I don't want to go in!" she said kicking.
Trunks dumped Lei-Fang into the water. Lei-Fang shot up from the water shivering. "It's cold." She stated. "Ya but ain't it nice?" Trunks asked swimming on his back tauntingly past her. "You! Your gonna get it!" Lei- Fang yelled to Trunks. "Want are you going to do about it Thumbalina?" Trunks teased swimming in a circle around her. "I'll.I'll go get Krillin or Yamcha to beat you up." Lei-Fang said swimming toward that direction. "Why not you?" Trunks asked swimming by her and she felt uncomfortable as he was very strong and she probably wouldn't have enough time to yell for help from one of the guys. "I'm not capable of defeating you and it's not my style. I'm sweet I don't get even." Lei-Fang said. Trunks arm went around her stomach stopping her. "Let go!" Lei-Fang yelled. "What makes you think they can beat me up? You have to have a man do your job?" Trunks teased more. Lei-Fang stilled squirmed. "Your mean." She stated. "Hold your breath." Trunks warned. He took a breath and went underwater pulling her with him. Then he let go. Lei-Fang swam to the top. She started to heave big breathes of air. Trunks surfaced. "What's the matter?" Trunks asked. "Earlier you were talking about how much you loved the ocean." Trunks said. "I do." Lei-Fang said seriously. "You noticed how you and I are born and grow up. We change. But the water was always the same. The life in it changed yes, but the water never did. Ever since the beginning of time it just rolls in and out of the shore daily. At night it moves to lullaby of the moon and sparkles under the star's reflections. It has seen many sunsets and sunrises to know the beauty of nature and itself." Lei-Fang said admiring the sun on the ocean. "It has probably been through many things, seen many things, heard many things, and survived many things." She added. It seemed to sparkle as she said those words. Trunks blushed lightly. "Ya I guess your right." He said. "But why am I telling you this boring poetic stuff. You probably don't want to hear it." She apologized. "No I don't mind it. Really I don't." he said.
Everybody was out of the water and in the sun. Roshi and Oolong were looking at Lei-Fang, Sakura, and a couple other girls in swimsuits and Bikinis play volleyball. "You guys should be ashamed. How would Lei- Fang feel if she knew you were looking at her?" Krillin scolded. "You guys should look up to Trunks. He's a nice decent and respectable young man." Krillin complemented. Trunks blushed. "Ha! He was looking too! I saw him!" Roshi said pointing to Trunks. Trunks blushed deeper. "I was watching the scenery." Trunks explained. "What scenery is that huh?" Krillin asked teasing. Trunks blushed even deeper. "It's not like that." He said waving his hands nervously. "Face it kid they got you." Oolong said still not turning to Trunks with sunglasses on. "I wasn't looking." Trunks said. "Liar." Krillin said. "Your eyes twitch when you lie." Krillin said. Trunks blushed a deeper red if possible.
Lei-Fang hit the ball. "Hey what do you say we invite some of the guys?" Sakura suggested. "Sure we'll go get some of our friends and you get some of yours." One girl said. They each parted. "Who should we get?" Lei-Fang asked. "Definitely not Roshi or Oolong. Krillin can. Yamcha is good. Vegeta and Piccolo would never. Trunks is good too. Gohan is good if Chichi will let him. Tien I don't think would want to." Sakura said. "Okay." Lei-Fang agreed. "I'll get Gohan. You get Trunks and Krillin." Sakura ordered. Lei- Fang nodded.
Trunks and Krillin were still sitting in their beach chairs when Lei-Fang came up. "How would you and Krillin like it if you wanted to go and play volley ball with us?" Lei-Fang asked smiling. "I'll go!" Roshi and Oolong said. "Sakura doesn't think we should." Lei-Fang said trying not to hurt their feelings. "And for good reason too." Krillin said. "Well?" Lei-Fang repeated. "I'll go." Said Krillin. "I think I'll stay-" Trunks stopped when he saw the other girls bring up those flirting guys from earlier as well as some others probably like them. "Fine I'll go too." Lei-Fang put out her hand. He stared at it and then at her. She was smiling brightly. Trunks said yes and got up. They went over and played. But the other guy's eyes never seemed to leave any of the girls. Each guy yes at least one girl. They liked eying Lei-Fang. Trunks was hoping they weren't like Roshi or Oolong. If they were he didn't like what they were thinking. He knew Lei- Fang wouldn't either. The other girls too probably. When the game was over they were heading off to leave the beach when the guys came up to Sakura, Lei-Fang, and Trunks. "Would you girls like to come over to our house right now. We'll drive you." One offered. "Which of those girls will be there?" Sakura asked. "None of them just you two." The guy said. "Lei-Fang is coming home with me." Trunks said taking her by the hand and leaving. He knew what they had on their minds and even though he never acted like that to a stranger he wasn't going to act sweet so Lei-Fang could be hurt. "I think I'll pass too." Sakura said and left. "Brothers are so protective." Said the guy and they left.
When they arrived home, everybody went their own way. Lei-Fang went in the bathroom last and took a bath. She wanted to be nice so she let Bulma go first. Which wasn't easy since Vegeta and Bulma argued about it. Vegeta ended up going second. Then Trunks. Last went Lei-Fang. She sat there soaking in the water rubbing it on her arms. She thought about the day and thought it was fun. Bulma planned for them to go on a picnic in two weeks. She couldn't wait. Those guys at the beach though made her feel on the edge. She sighed. Trunks protected her three times from them though. She liked it when she was around him. She felt safe, warm, and happy. He may not at first, but now was making her feel as though she could forget she was android just while being around him. He treated her nicely and made her feel human. If only she was. Lei-Fang's eyes saddened at the fact. "It just seems so unfair." She said her eyes filling with tears but before they dared to come out, she heard a knock. "Yo, slave woman. Time for dinner." Vegeta's voice said. "She ahs a name!" came Bulma's distant voice. Lei-Fang smiled. "Okay!" she yelled. Even though Vegeta treated her coldly she knew he thought she wasn't half bad. She had somewhat grown on him. She was just like the little sister he never had, well almost. Vegeta felt he had to protect her and look after her. Right now was a small war between him and Bulma if she should fight or not. Vegeta said she needed to be trained. He knew she was an android. He find it out after constantly persisting with Bulma. "She's an android! It's in her blood to fight!" Vegeta would yell. "Are you sure she has blood?" Bulma would yell back. Not that Bulma meant did it on purpose but saying that she didn't have any blood hurt Lei-Fang.
Much like Trunks Lei-Fang found out in no time that it wasn't pride that made Vegeta act all tough and superior. It was honor. The honor he owed to his father King Vegeta of the Saiyans. He was a cold ruthless warrior. 'His father's death must have been horrible.' Lei-Fang thought. She knew he didn't want her pity though. It seemed that it was important he be the strongest since he was Prince. But the fact that Goku, an ordinary Saiyan who was born with the power level of two, would have so much strength and power. it taunted Vegeta that the fact was that Goku died before Vegeta could beat him. It seemed to haunt his dreams every night. Lei-Fang would wake up sometimes and hear his cries and his father's name so many times. "Yo servant woman! I said dinner time!" Vegeta's voice yelled from downstairs. "Coming!" Lei-Fang yelled.
"I can't see why we can't just go ahead and eat without her?" Vegeta said annoyed. "Vegeta don't even start!" Bulma warned angrily. Trunks was praying. "Sorry, but I just got out of the tub. You guys can start without me." Lei-Fang said as she stood with a white towel wrapped around her body from the stairway. Trunks seemed kind of dazed for a moment but snapped out of it (again). "Okay." Bulma said. "Told ya." Vegeta mumbled scoffing down his food. Lei-Fang headed off and dressed.
Gohan was playing in a forest by his house. He was playing with a little squirrel. He was laughing as he chased it (hey he does this on the show1 He's practically Snow White!). Then the squirrel stopped and put up its head alarmed. "What is it?" Gohan asked worried. It made a sound and went into a cave nearby. Gohan followed it. Gohan wondered in amazement as the rocks sparkled. "Hey so your Gohan, son of Goku?" he heard an unfamiliar voice say. He nodded. "Who are you?" he asked. The girl had black hair with pigtails. Her eyes were blue and filled with amusement. She smirked. "I'm Meiran." Said the girl. She appeared to be Lei-Fang's age. "But you can call me android number 11." She finished. Gohan looked shocked. For a moment his eyes went scared with fear. "What's the matter? You don't look hardly scared enough. How will I have fun my little doll?" She said smiling. Gohan didn't feel easy. "Well since Goku's dead I'll guess I'll just have to eliminate his son. It's what I am programmed to do." Meiran said grinning. Gohan went Super Saiyan and took a fighting stance. Meiran charged and Gohan blocked her punch with his arm. He blocked again and again. She let out fighting cries as she continued to throw punches. But Gohan continued to block. She decided to end the little game and her foot suddenly flew up kicking him in the stomach. Gohan was sent flying against a wall. A little blood came from his mouth, but Gohan whipped it away with his arm. He took his fighting stance again. Meiran suddenly flashed a beam at him. Dust filled the area so it was hard to see. Out of nowhere Gohan came and punched Meiran in the face sending her to the ground. But as she fell her foot kicked up to his chin. Then she kicked his legs off the ground and he fell hard to the ground. They both panted for a second then got back up. Gohan and Meiran charged and punched each other at the same time. Both flew in opposite directions and then stopped suddenly in mid air. Gohan spread apart his leg and formed his hands for his Kamehameha attack. A small white light of energy went into his hands. "Kaaaaaameeeehaaameehaaaa!" Gohan yelled releasing the huge energy wave. Meiran crossed her arms as though she were confident. The energy flew towards her. She was smiling then her smile faded as it got closer, "What's this." She said in shock. He heard her scream. The light seemed to last a while and then it cleared. There stood Meiran breathing heavily standing up with her arms crossed. The ground was dug into a small ditch showing the track that the beam had pushed her. Her clothes were torn and dirty. Sweat seeped down Gohan's face. She went back to just a standing pose. She brushed away a strand of hair from her face a smirked. "That was good." She said. Then she teleported behind Gohan quickly. "But not good enough!" she yelled as she clasped her hands together tightly and hit Gohan on the back of the head. He went flying into the ground. She pulled out a dagger and was about to stab him when something caught her hand very fast. She looked over and there stood Goku with a halo. "Your Goku, am I right?" she asked. He nodded. "Then I'll guess we'll just have to finish this later." She said and flew up into the air. "Oh no you don't." Goku said he flew up towards her but stopped when she put her hands to each side of her face. "Solar Flare!" she yelled. Then came a bright light. Goku and Gohan covered their eyes. When the light was gone, so was Meiran.
